Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

The next day, Hu Xiaoxiao received a call from the director, who told her about Xia Lu's added scenes, so that Hu Xiaoxiao would be aware of the situation.

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't care, as long as she didn't lose any scenes.

Moreover, according to Qi Weiming, she also hopes to give Xia Lu more screen time. Because if you're going to add more screen time, you can't just add one person; you'll definitely give her more screen time too, so that the plot will be more exciting with the connections between them.

Just like the times she had her scenes added, it's impossible to add scenes only for her; all the other characters have to have their scenes added as well, otherwise the plot would be out of balance.

So, as long as she has a lot of scenes, let's leave everything to the director and screenwriter; they are more professional.

To ensure the drama was of the highest quality, Qi Weiming and Lin Yi, two ambitious men in their fifties, discussed the script again and again before finally deciding how to film it.

There are no secrets in the production crew: Hu Xiaoxiao has had more scenes added, and Xia Lu has also had more scenes added. This news quickly spread throughout the entire "The Bund" production crew.

Since filming began for "The Bund," among all the actors playing various roles, only Hu Xiaoxiao has received repeated opportunities to have more screen time. Actors in other productions started to object, especially after calculating the number of episodes; they realized that with these additions, Hu Xiaoxiao would become the female character with the most screen time in the entire series.

With the most screen time among all the actresses in the series, who exactly is the female lead in "The Bund"? Is it Jiang Yuyu, or Hu Xiaoxiao, who rose from a supporting role?

On this day, for the first car chase scene, not only did the director arrive early, but the crew in charge of the filming also arrived early and began making arrangements.

Because of Qi Weiming's high standards, he wanted to bring these scenes to a new level, so he mobilized all the resources he could, preparing for a big production.

Therefore, he specifically went to President Lu to apply for additional investment.

President Lu was puzzled by the fact that the production team had exceeded the budget so much. Qi Weiming had exceeded the budget before when filming, but never this ridiculously. Then, upon hearing that it was related to Hu Xiaoxiao, he inquired further about how Qi Weiming had filmed the scenes.

After listening, President Lu had a mysterious confidence in Hu Xiaoxiao, and with a wave of his hand, he approved a large budget for Qi Weiming.

President Lu's generosity surprised Qi Weiming: So straightforward?

He had rehearsed his speech in his mind again and again, and prepared a lot of lines, but he couldn't use them at all.

Qi Weiming suddenly realized that the rumors about Hu Xiaoxiao's good fortune and ability to bring good luck to others were true. When he applied for additional investment before, it hadn't been so easy. He applied for less money but had more problems. Now he applied for more money but had fewer problems.

With Lu's strong support, Qi Weiming became even more ambitious and determined. He was determined to do things to the best of his ability, and he poured all the investment he had received into the project, which caused a sensation even before the car chase had begun.

This grand spectacle further fueled the discontent of other cast members who were already critical of Hu Xiaoxiao's constant additions to their scenes. As a result, those not filming at that time flocked to the set to watch, eager to see why Hu Xiaoxiao deserved such favoritism from the director. Could the rumor that Hu Xiaoxiao is the director's distant niece be true?

The crowd of actors and staff kept gathering, giving Qi Weiming a headache. But he also knew why they were there; if he cleared the area, who knew what they would be whispering about behind his back.

Let them see why he added scenes for Hu Xiaoxiao, let them see what professionalism is, and see what a role model is.

"Sister Yu! Sister Yu is here!"

The crowd stirred, then automatically parted to let Jiang Yu in.

Qi Weiming might disregard others' feelings, but he had to show some respect to Jiang Yu, so he specially found a seat for Jiang Yu. "Ayu is here too? Please sit here."

Jiang Yu wasn't filming today, so she dressed casually and in a normal style. But a top actress is a top actress; she overshadowed everyone else the moment she appeared.

Jiang Yu smiled at Qi Weiming and said, "I heard it's lively here, so I came to take a look."

Rumors have already circulated that Hu Xiaoxiao's screen time has overshadowed that of the female lead, so Jiang Yu, as the female lead herself, naturally had to come and see for herself.

After sitting down, Jiang Yu took the Twenty-Four Flavors Herbal Tea handed to him by his assistant Jack. He took a sip of the unsweetened Twenty-Four Flavors Herbal Tea, which tasted slightly bitter, but was still within an acceptable range.

After putting down the herbal tea, Jiang Yu saw that the crew was almost ready and sat down to wait for the scene to begin.

After disrupting a crucial Japanese operation, Zhao Zhenchuan was relentlessly pursued by the Japanese while leading his men in retreat.

At this moment, Zhao Zhenchuan was injured.

After learning the news, Xie Weihua drove to pick up Zhao Zhenchuan.

After avoiding other military police and security teams, Xie Weihua was about to escape safely in her black sedan with Zhao Zhenchuan in tow when Yamamoto Masako spotted them and chased after them in her jeep.

With a crazed look in her eyes, Masako Yamamoto floored the accelerator and rammed into the car in front of her, intending to overturn it.

With a loud bang, the rear of the car was deformed from the impact.

When the car went out of control, Xie Weihua remained calm and used her superb driving skills to stabilize the car. She then used the wheel slippage to perform a beautiful drift and turn onto another street.

Zhao Zhenchuan, inside the car, clutched his injured shoulder, holding a gun and staring at the car behind him.

Masako Yamamoto gave chase, and Xie Weihua floored the accelerator. The two cars sped along the street, their engines roaring from several blocks away.

"Cut!" Qi Weiming called out with satisfaction after filming this part.

The crew didn't have many cameras, so the street racing scenes had to be filmed in several segments. After filming one shot, they had to set up the cameras again to film the next shot.

Qi Weiming walked up to the jeep and, for the first time, showed Xia Lu a satisfied expression. He said, "This scene was filmed very well. I can tell you did a lot of preparation. The next scene will be even more dangerous. Can you handle it? If not, you must say so immediately. Safety is the most important thing."

Xia Lu sat in the car and quietly moved one of her legs. The impact had been so strong that it seemed to have injured her leg, and it was now starting to hurt.

She showed no sign of discomfort on her face, nodded to Qi Weiming, and said, "No problem, just film the rest according to the script."

For today's scene, she specially hired a racing coach to practice for a few days. No matter what happens, she will not give up.

She gave it all!

Seeing that Xia Lu was alright, Qi Weiming went to the front to ask Hu Xiaoxiao if she was alright.

Hu Xiaoxiao was used to driving fast and was very well prepared. She was in good condition and gave Qi Weiming an OK sign. "I'm fine. I wonder how Brother An is?"

Song Yan'an, who was sitting in the back row, was bumped and jolted, and his gun almost slipped from his hand. His hand was still shaking a little.

But the women all said it was no problem, that it would work, so he, a grown man, had no reason to say it wouldn't work. He calmly told Qi Weiming, "I'm fine too, I can handle it."
