Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

The Sanren Society is no small gang. Even if Luo Cheng's power is strong, it's not strong enough to directly kill Ma Mianhu. If he did that, the Yi Hai Gang and the Sanren Society would be locked in a life-or-death struggle, and the cost would be too high.

"I thought I could buy Tiger's life," Hu Xiaoxiao said regretfully. "If I could, I would have come up with a hundred million."

Li Huishan on the other end of the phone gasped. One hundred million? To be honest, he was tempted. However, taking down Ma Mianhu wasn't something that could be solved with money alone, and the Yi Hai Gang had no intention of forming a blood feud with the San Ren Society.

He could only regret missing out on this deal. "Let's talk about other business. Besides Pockmarked Tiger and the heads of several major triads, tell me, who do you want dead? As long as the money is right, anything is negotiable."

"Fighting and killing are so boring, I just want to buy some information..."

……

The final, pivotal scene of "Cheng Zhaofeng" was filmed in a dark alley. According to the script, this scene depicts Cheng Zhaofeng's assassination attempt on her way home at night.

The assassins who killed her were ninjas from Japan. Because her business had grown too large and she was unwilling to be used by the Japanese, they decided to kill Cheng Zhaofeng and put the Miao family business in a position of power.

As can be seen from the script, this scene is a night scene.

The sun had just set when the film set was already prepared, and Hu Xiaoxiao arrived at the set ahead of time.

Because most of the white suits ordered last time were still unworn, and white would be more conspicuous in this night scene, Gao Zhiyuan, after much consideration, abandoned the previous costume design and had Hu Xiaoxiao continue to wear the white suits.

However, Hu Xiaoxiao made some minor alterations to the suit, removing the bow tie and changing the shirt underneath to a more casual style, making it different from the costume in the previous scene, yet still equally eye-catching.

As for makeup, I changed to a different lipstick color, a lip color suitable for nighttime.

Gao Zhiyuan was very satisfied with Hu Xiaoxiao's eye for talent; with just a little tidying up, her image was immediately distinguishable from that in another scene.

After Hu Xiaoxiao was ready, she also saw her two opponents for the day.

She couldn't help but frown the moment she saw them.

One of the men was named Xu Guangman, with a square face, stubble on his chin, and a sinister look in his eyes. The other was named Zeng Xuelin, with a round face, a bald head, and a smiling face that seemed approachable, but the scars on his scalp indicated that he was no ordinary person.

What made Hu Xiaoxiao frown, and even dislike them, was that their aura was too repulsive to her.

They were filled with bloodlust and their karma ran deep. She suspected they had killed many innocent people. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't get involved in such deep karma, and even Yu Cong, whom everyone feared, didn't have such a strong bloodlust.

Then she remembered what Tang Shikuan had told her: these two were Tiger's two most capable henchmen, and with Tiger's methods, these two must have done countless dirty things for him.

When the two men saw Hu Xiaoxiao, Xu Guangman, with his square face, looked at Hu Xiaoxiao with an icy gaze, as if he were looking at a dead person, while Zeng Xuelin, with his round face, greeted Hu Xiaoxiao with a smile, as if they had a very good relationship.

However, as soon as he turned around, Zeng Xuelin pulled out a short knife from his body, the hilt still bearing dark bloodstains from years past.

Gao Zhiyuan felt a chill run down his spine. He forced a dry laugh and came over, saying, "We don't use real knives in our filming here. Tiger Brother also said it's just filming."

Zeng Xuelin said with a grin, "We've read the script. It says that Cheng Zhaofeng faces two ninjas with knives with her bare hands. If Miss Hu acts according to the script, then we can act according to the script too."

In other words, Hu Xiaoxiao has to face them empty-handed while they are holding props.

This shows that their goal was to take Hu Xiaoxiao's life.

When producer Roger arrived at the set and saw the situation, he was about to mediate when Hu Xiaoxiao stopped him, saying, "Since it's filming, let's follow the script."

"Miss Hu is straightforward." Zeng Xuelin smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth, and sheathed the dagger.

Roger pulled Hu Xiaoxiao aside and said urgently, "Are you stupid? Even though they're using props, they're all masters of internal martial arts. How can you possibly defeat them when you're unarmed?"

Gao Zhiyuan also came over and quietly said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Before filming starts, go to the dressing room. I had someone bring some soft boards there. Just quietly put them inside your clothes. No matter how strong they are, they can't hurt you with wooden props. Just protect your head and face."

"No, thank you." Hu Xiaoxiao thanked them for their kindness, gave them a reassuring look, and said, "I can handle it."

But Gao Zhiyuan couldn't rest easy. Besides being a director, he was also a mahjong partner with Hu Xiaoxiao. As friends, he had to look after her. Just as he was about to persuade Hu Xiaoxiao again, Tang Shikuan arrived.

Tang Shikuan glanced around the set and heard that Xu Guangman and Zeng Xuelin had gone to change their costumes. He came over to Hu Xiaoxiao and winked, saying, "I've gone to find Peng Guozhi. He's nearby. Just call him over here, and I'll have him come right away."

Peng Guozhi is the general manager of the film and television city.

He agreed to come not only because he had some acquaintance with Tang Shikuan, but also because this was a film and television city, and if a murder occurred here, it would be bad for the reputation of the film and television city.

In other words, as long as Peng Guozhi appears, Xu Guangman and his companion will be somewhat wary and won't dare to kill anyone there; at most, they'll severely injure them. Offending Peng Guozhi will make it difficult for Tiger Brother's Tiger Teng Film Company to rent land in the film studio for filming in the future. Moreover, Peng Guozhi is backed by Ji Sheng. If they displease Ji Sheng, not only will they be unable to rent land in the film studio for filming again, but Ji Sheng's cinemas will also be out of the running.

Hu Xiaoxiao was grateful for Tang Shikuan's help; he had gone to great lengths to protect her, but it was also a bit of a pity.

The film studio is Ji Sheng's territory, and out of respect for Ji Sheng, she can't kill these two beasts here.

The cause and effect are so profound that what they did was probably worse than that of animals.

Xu Guangman and Zeng Xuelin had changed into Japanese samurai attire and were carrying wooden swords they had found somewhere. They asked Gao Zhiyuan when they would start, as their time was limited.

Gao Zhiyuan glanced at Hu Xiaoxiao one last time, sighed inwardly, and said, "It's about to start. As for the scene later... you guys can improvise."

For this scene, Gao Zhiyuan borrowed several cameras and set them up in several locations. Even above the alley, a crane was used to carry the cameras and the cinematographer for overhead shots.

"Xiaoxiao, be careful." Dong Peiyu reminded Hu Xiaoxiao as filming was about to begin.

Ye Zhini also nervously instructed, "Ms. Hu, you must finish filming safely. I specially made you some nourishing chicken soup. You must come back safely to drink it."
