Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Seeing that Hu Xiaoxiao had managed to make a group of useless people retreat like turtles with just a few words, Xia Lu said, "Hu Xiaoxiao, you have a great tongue. You must have used that tongue to bewitch the director and screenwriter, right?"

Hu Xiaoxiao retorted to Xia Lu, "Did you also use your words to seduce them into coming here to cause trouble? It seems you're much better at talking than me; you managed to seduce more than twenty people."

"The reason they agree with me is because you were too domineering on set, making everyone dislike you. Shouldn't you reflect on your own behavior?"

Hu Xiaoxiao had already recognized that many of the people who came over had never acted with her before. She said nonchalantly, "The reason is not with me, but with them. They don't dislike my domineering attitude, but they dislike that they are not as talented as me and do not work as hard as me. It's mediocre people who are not envied. Since my debut, there have been many people who are jealous of me, so I don't care about these few. The more people are jealous of me, the more it means that I am a genius."

Xia Lu had never seen anyone as shameless as Hu Xiaoxiao, who praised herself without the slightest embarrassment. Moreover, Hu Xiaoxiao particularly loved to praise herself. "Hu Xiaoxiao, have some shame! Do you get a toothache if you don't praise yourself every day? I've been in this industry for so many years, and I've never seen anyone so self-aggrandizing."

"Am I wrong? The more they're jealous, the more it proves I'm popular. Why aren't they jealous of you? It's because you're outdated." Hu Xiaoxiao knows exactly where others hurt, and she'll stab them in the back.

Xia Lu was furious again, so angry that her heart ached. "Flowers don't bloom for a hundred days, and people don't stay good for a thousand days. I'll see how long you can swagger around in this circle."

"I'll be swaggering around in this industry longer than you live."

Xia Lu didn't want to be so angry that she died, and she couldn't incite others to cause trouble, so she could only leave in a sorry state.

No one else dared to offend Hu Xiaoxiao. Haven't you seen how even Xia Lu, who has a powerful background, couldn't defeat Hu Xiaoxiao? What are they compared to her?

Soon, they dispersed in twos and threes.

It seems that this matter was simply dropped.

But how could Hu Xiaoxiao let it go so easily? Just because a tiger doesn't show its power doesn't mean it's a pushover. If she doesn't make an example of someone, someone else will come after her again.

This circle has always been one of those who belittle the weak and flatter the strong, and they are also the most opportunistic.

Hu Xiaoxiao needed to find a chicken to kill, and this chicken had to be substantial to intimidate people. After much deliberation, she decided that it was better to use a familiar chicken than a stranger.

She immediately pulled out the original script again and checked the scenes that Xia Lu hadn't filmed.

She initially thought that adding too much screen time would have a negative impact, so she decided to let it go. However, she didn't expect that adding too little screen time would have an even worse impact, to the point that they dared to come up to her.

Hu Xiaoxiao turned to a page with a scene where Yamamoto Masako was chasing Zhao Zhenchuan in her car. The two had a thrilling car chase.

In the script, Xie Weihua is also a driver; there's a scene where she drives to pick up Zhao Zhenchuan.

It's just racing, she goes racing all the time when she has nothing better to do, and she can do all sorts of high-difficulty cars. Anyway, no one who knows her wants to ride in her car.

Hu Xiaoxiao acted immediately, renting a car in the style of the Republic of China era from the film studio, and then driving it to screenwriter Lin Yi, who was about to finish work.

"Mr. Lin, are you off work? Come on, I'll take you to the parking lot."

Lin Yi parked his car some distance from the film studio, thinking it would be good to avoid walking too much, so he got in. He admired Hu Xiaoxiao's quick thinking and respect for the elderly, and his willingness to personally rent a car to give him a ride, so he said kindly, "Calling me Mr. Lin is too formal. We're so familiar with each other, just call me Uncle Lin."

Hu Xiaoxiao immediately changed her tune, "Uncle Lin, please sit down first, and remember to fasten your seatbelt. Uncle Lin, where's Uncle Qi? Shall we go pick him up and take him to the parking lot together?"

Lin Yi and Qi Weiming are not far apart in age. Since Lin Yi calls Qi Weiming "Uncle Lin," it is only natural for Qi Weiming to call him "Uncle Qi."

Lin Yi pointed to the film set where Qi Weiming was filming scenes with the female lead, Bao Jingmei, which was only two streets away.

Hu Xiaoxiao drove steadily to the film set, just as they finished filming. Qi Weiming was coming out carrying his bag.

"Uncle Qi! Uncle Qi! Over here! Look over here!" Hu Xiaoxiao leaned out of the car window, waved to Qi Weiming, and shouted loudly.

The loud calls of "Uncle Qi" drew surprised looks from Qi Weiming and the actors, both those finishing and those starting work.

Then they saw a stunningly beautiful face leaning out of the car window. Her smile was as radiant as the sunshine, incomparably bright. Her smile seemed to light up the entire street.

Qi Weiming only realized that Hu Xiaoxiao was calling him "Uncle Qi" after she waved to him several times. But when did he become Hu Xiaoxiao's uncle?

Seeing his old friend Lin Yi sitting in the car, Qi Weiming walked over and frowned, saying, "Hu Xiaoxiao, why are you calling me Uncle Qi today? You can't just call people whatever you want."

Hu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "You and Uncle Lin are friends, and Uncle Lin told me to call you 'Uncle.' So, as Uncle Lin's good friend, shouldn't I also call you Uncle Qi? Uncle Lin, don't you think so?"

Lin Yi was laughing so hard he couldn't stop, saying, "Yes, yes, that's right. If you don't call him Uncle Qi, are you going to call him Brother Qi? If you do, then I'll be a generation older than him."

Seeing Qi Weiming's stern face, Hu Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice, "But we already called him, so should I go and explain to everyone?"

Qi Weiming waved his hand. It's just a form of address. Why would someone have to explain it to him? Wouldn't that make him seem like he's making a fuss?

Therefore, he accepted Hu Xiaoxiao's way of addressing him.

When the rest of the crew heard Hu Xiaoxiao affectionately call Director Qi "Uncle Qi," they assumed that Hu Xiaoxiao and the director were so close that Hu Xiaoxiao could be called "uncle," and they dared not cause any trouble for Hu Xiaoxiao afterward.

"Uncle Lin, Uncle Qi, are you all seated?" Hu Xiaoxiao turned to look at them and said, "Fasten your seatbelts."

"It's such a short distance, why bother with a seatbelt?" Qi Weiming found it too troublesome to look for the seatbelt. This car was designed in the style of the Republic of China era, so the seatbelt was hidden in a concealed place to avoid being noticed.

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "Yes, you should wear a seatbelt. Safety is the most important thing. I drive a bit fast."

Qi Weiming was puzzled. It's such a short distance. You have to step on the gas pedal one minute and the brake pedal the next. How fast can you go?

But Hu Xiaoxiao insisted, so he had no choice but to find the seatbelt and fasten it, complaining to Lin Yi, "Young people these days are so particular."

Lin Yi said with a smile, "It's a matter of safety, so it's understandable to be a little careful."

"Uncle Lin! Uncle Qi! Are you both seated?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked Lin Yi and Qi Weiming, her foot on the accelerator.

Qi Weiming said irritably, "Alright, alright, why are you talking so much?"

"Then I'll get ready to drive." Hu Xiaoxiao placed her hands on the steering wheel and asked Qi Weiming and Lin Yi, "Uncle Lin, Uncle Qi, have you designed the scene where Zhao Zhenchuan and Yamamoto Masako are racing?"

"How else do you need to design a car chase? Just film it with the camera," Qi Weiming said.

"If you two uncles are lacking inspiration, you can look for it now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Xiaoxiao stepped on the gas pedal—
