Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Chapter 225 Saying Goodbye to the Television Industry

"I've thanked the company many times, but I still want to say it again today. Thank you to the company and to TVB for giving me this opportunity. I am even more grateful to the viewers in front of the TV. Many of you have supported me since I entered the Miss Hong Kong pageant. It's fair to say that without your support, I, Hu Xiaoxiao, would not be where I am today," Hu Xiaoxiao said with emotion.

The events of the past few years flashed through her mind one by one, from the moment she vaguely signed up for the Miss Hong Kong pageant to the gradual learning after her debut. Every single thing left a deep impression on her.

Her achievements today are certainly due to her hard work, but they are also inseparable from the people who like and support her. It is because of so many people who like her that her TV dramas are so popular and her advertisements have such a good market response.

"I will continue to work hard, and I will also urge myself to be more ambitious and create more and better works to repay those who like me." Since she had already expressed her gratitude, Hu Xiaoxiao would like to say a few more words, as there's no harm in saying more good things.

When she saw Ji Sheng sitting in the audience, she changed the subject and praised the TV station, Ji Sheng, and all the executives in a lavish manner, making Ji Sheng and the executives smile.

Finally, she accepted her second and last Best Actress award, thanked the audience and television viewers once again, and then stepped off the stage.

Once offstage, Hu Xiaoxiao quickly returned to the backstage area, handed the trophy to a staff member for safekeeping, and then rushed to Chen Tianwang's side.

Chen Tianwang was holding two microphones in one hand and a stylish wide-brimmed hat in the other. When he saw Hu Xiaoxiao coming over, he handed her the hat.

After putting on her hat, Hu Xiaoxiao checked herself in the mirror, then took the microphone from Chen Tianwang. Then, Chen Jinchu announced the next program, a duet between Hu Xiaoxiao and Chen Tianwang called "Only Love Endures".

Chen Tianwang walked onto the stage first. When the music started, he turned around, his gentle eyes looking at Hu Xiaoxiao who was slowly walking towards him, and he reached out his hand.

Hu Xiaoxiao placed her hand on his palm and walked with him to the center of the stage before letting go.

Hu Xiaoxiao's unique voice rang out like heavenly music, captivating all who heard it: "In this world, it's impossible to distinguish right from wrong."

Chen Tianwang's mellow voice continued singing: "Too lazy to ask how to separate the grudges."

"When everything is like fleeting clouds," Hu Xiaoxiao said gently as she turned her gaze to Chen Tianwang, who was much taller than her.

When Chen Tianwang met her gaze, his eyes were filled with deep affection: "Only love lasts forever."

The two looked at each other and sang together: "A love is etched in our hearts."

The soothing music helped the audience relax and quietly appreciate the beautiful singing.

The stage lights softened, revealing Chen Tianwang, tall and slender in a white suit, and Hu Xiaoxiao, tall and beautiful in a red dress. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. This song was not only pleasant to listen to, but also visually pleasing.

Love can be found even in the gentle breeze.

Ah—ah—

Love can be found even in the most remote mountains.

As the music ended, the lights dimmed.

Hu Xiaoxiao and Chen Tianwang left the stage together.

Backstage, the two quickly made way for the guests coming on stage. The next show was a multi-person performance, and the backstage area was immediately filled with people waiting to go on stage.

Hu Xiaoxiao returned the hat to the production team and the microphone to the staff, finally feeling relieved. Aside from the final group sing-along, she had no more performances planned.

The anniversary celebration was a complete success, and Hu Xiaoxiao felt that her years at Baogang TV had been fulfilling.

The TV station is offering fewer and fewer suitable scripts, and her career advancement is extremely limited. If she stays here any longer, there's nothing she can do but help mentor newcomers.

Furthermore, the company won't let her dominate; they'll support others to challenge her and increase her competitiveness. Although she's confident no one can beat her, guarding an empty arena alone is rather boring.

She is still young, full of energy, and has a strong curiosity about the world. It is impossible for her to live the semi-retired, semi-retirement life that Jiang Yu and Song Yan'an lead.

Switching to producing is even more unrealistic; she doesn't like producing, and the previous project, Mu Guiying, gave her a huge headache. Besides, no matter how good a drama she produces, she's still working for the company, and she doesn't even get a share of the profits. Working for someone else, no matter how well you do, doesn't give you a sense of accomplishment.

It's time to say goodbye to television.

Or perhaps it's just for now. If TVB needs her in the future, or if there's a script she particularly likes, she wouldn't mind coming back to film one or two shows.

Since starting his film career, Mingxu's first movie role was as the important second male lead, and the film was a box office hit. After this trial run, Jincan Company was very optimistic about Mingxu's future and immediately cast him as the lead in a movie.

Jin Can Company invested a lot of money and time in this movie, hoping to make Ming Xu an instant star and make him a kung fu movie star for the company.

The movie starring Mingxu is called "New Fist of Fury," which tells the story of heroes from the Fist of Fury school, a genre with a large market appeal. Jin Can not only invested a significant amount of money in the film but also hired many stunt actors to act alongside Mingxu.

The box office of "New Fist of Fury" soared as soon as it was released.

Hu Xiaoxiao was determined to support Mingxu's new movie, so she put on a mask and sunglasses and dressed in ordinary clothes before arriving at the cinema.

The largest poster at the entrance of the movie theater is for "The New Legend of Kung Fu Kids," starring Mingxu. Mingxu, in the middle of the poster, shows off his strong and muscular physique, and with his handsome face, both men and women can't help but take a second look when they pass by.

Hu Xiaoxiao also stood in front of the poster and looked at it several times. After not seeing him for a while, Mingxu's muscles had become even more beautiful. They were very strong and not weak at all. He looked very manly, and his male hormones seemed to be emanating from the poster.

He has a sunny and handsome face, and his eyes are resolute. Many girls can't help but exclaim "Wow!" when they see his poster.

Standing in front of the poster, Hu Xiaoxiao not only admired Mingxu's face and figure, but also carefully read through the information about the director, supporting actors, etc.

She went to the ticket window and asked the ticket seller if she wanted to buy tickets for "New Fist of Fury," but the ticket seller said, "Tickets for the next showing are sold out. Why don't you buy tickets for the later showings? Or see another movie?"

Hu Xiaoxiao asked, "Are tickets for 'New Fist of Fury' selling so well?"

"Yes, every show during prime time is sold out, and tickets have to be bought in advance."

As Hu Xiaoxiao was considering which show's tickets to buy in advance, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a poster out of the corner of her eye. She paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at the poster.

The poster featured a sports car in the background, with a man and a woman, their faces covered in dust and blood, embracing each other in the center. Judging from the image alone, it seemed to be a story of lovers surviving a near-death experience.

The movie title on the poster was written in large calligraphy: "The God of Speed".
