Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't have to wait long before the people who shared her thoughts arrived, and there were three of them.

These three men had tattoos all over their arms, were very muscular, had unfriendly faces, and sinister eyes; they were three thugs.

They noticed that the henchmen protecting Pockmarked Tiger from the Sanren Society had gone off to play cards and weren't guarding the door. They hesitated for a moment, fearing an ambush. One of them gestured for the two behind him to step back, then he took out a gun from his waist and slowly pushed open the door.

Upon observation, they found that there was no one else inside except for the weak-breathing pockmarked tiger lying on the bed, so they called their two other companions in.

Through the crack in the door, Hu Xiaoxiao saw them go inside, then pull out a knife and stab the pockmarked tiger several times.

Despite being stabbed so many times, the pockmarked tiger remained unconscious, indicating that he was truly seriously injured.

After stabbing them, the three thugs came out and prepared to leave.

Hu Xiaoxiao, seeing that the three thugs didn't seem like good people, went to the curtains by the window, took off a decorative bead, returned to the crack in the door, and flicked the bead between her fingers just as the three thugs were about to leave the floor. The bead landed at the foot of one of them.

They just left like that, which was quite carefree, but what if the madmen from the Sanren Society cause trouble for the hospital after Ma Mianhu dies there?

As a good citizen of Po Kong, she would definitely do good deeds and prevent innocent people from suffering injustice.

"Ouch--"

The person who stepped on the bead tripped and fell, making a loud noise.

"Who's there?" The Sanren Gang henchmen on night watch heard this and rushed out. They recognized the three thugs. "They're from the Qinglong Gang!"

"Oh no, something's happened to Tiger!"

A member of the Sanren Society ran into the ward, glanced around, and then ran out to tell his companions, "Brother Tiger has been stabbed to death by them!"

"Chase them!" One of the Sanren Society members saw the Qinglong Gang members running away and immediately gave chase.

The rest of the Sanren gang's henchmen saw this and chased after them, shouting that someone had been killed, that the Qinglong Gang had killed Brother Tiger, and so on.

After they all left, Hu Xiaoxiao came out of the room and went to Ma Mianhu's ward.

She personally examined the pockmarked tiger's condition and found him to be beyond dead, for she could see his soul floating out, exuding a fierce aura and shrouded in karmic sins.

Even in death, it's still so ferocious; who knows if it might turn into a vengeful ghost.

Having killed so many people while alive, does he intend to harm others now that he's dead?

Hu Xiaoxiao punched and shattered the pockmarked tiger's soul, leaving not a trace of it in this world.

His soul was shattered; even a god descending to earth couldn't revive him.

Hu Xiaoxiao then left with peace of mind.

Gunshots rang out outside, and the two sides had already exchanged fire.

Hu Xiaoxiao had no intention of watching the fight. Neither of these gangs were good people. Back then, Da Ya Lai from the Qinglong Gang had even tried to kidnap her.

Hu Xiaoxiao then went down through a safety passage and quietly left the hospital.

The next day, news of Pockmarked Tiger's death spread through various news outlets. Only then did Hu Xiaoxiao call Li Huishan to ask him about some matters concerning the Sanren Society.

From Li Huishan, Hu Xiaoxiao learned quite a few things, such as how Ma Mianhu's death was inextricably linked to her. It wasn't that people in the underworld knew she was the one who knocked Ma Mianhu into the river; rather, Hu Xiaoxiao had crippled Ma Mianhu's two most capable and influential subordinates in the Sanren Gang—Xu Guangman and Zeng Xuelin. This caused Ma Mianhu to immediately lose control of the gang after his incident, and the gang leaders who resented Ma Mianhu's leadership seized the opportunity to cause trouble and try to take over.

It was precisely because Pockmarked Tiger lost his most trusted men, Xu and Zeng, that the news of his hospitalization was deliberately leaked, and the night watchmen were intentionally negligent, giving the Green Dragon Gang an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

The Qinglong Gang and the Sanren Society are old rivals. The two are evenly matched and both like to do dirty work, so their businesses inevitably overlap. Therefore, the two factions have clashed more than once over the years.

After Hu Xiaoxiao found out about the membership structure and internal conflicts of the Sanren Society, Li Huishan asked her, "Brother Hu is dead. Do you still want the information you asked for earlier?"

"Yes," Hu Xiaoxiao replied. "Take your time to gather information, don't rush. Once you've collected everything, hand it all over to me."

Li Huishan on the other end of the phone agreed, saying, "This is a deal between you and me, and only heaven, earth, you, and I can know."

Hu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Brother Shan, don't worry, I won't betray you."

"Haha, it's not easy to make a little money, and you have to take care of things from all sides. I hope Miss Hu can understand."

Let's have tea sometime.

Li Huishan agreed and then hung up the phone.

With Ma Mianhu dead, the Sanren Society descended into chaotic internal strife, and Hu Xiaoxiao's crisis was over. She then devoted herself entirely to filming, completing the movie as quickly as possible for the Spring Festival release.

The story of "Cheng Zhaofeng" is not complicated. It mainly tells the tale of Cheng Zhaofeng, a woman with exceptional skills, who is not valued in the army and is even harassed by another captain. This captain is the nephew of a general and wields more power in the army than Cheng Zhaofeng. Cheng Zhaofeng disapproves of the captain's domineering style and their corruption, refusing to compromise her principles. Disheartened, she chooses to retire and return home to take over the family business.

While managing the Cheng family business, Cheng Zhaofeng wanted to do something for the chaotic world, so she secretly transported supplies to anti-Japanese organizations. This was discovered by the Japanese pirates, who tried to bribe Cheng Zhaofeng to work for them, but she refused. The pirates then bribed the Miao family, Cheng's rivals, to use them against the Cheng family.

In the end, Cheng Zhaofeng not only killed the traitor Miao Haibin, but also devised a plan to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese pirates. Finally, she led her family to Baogang to start anew.

This film is an action movie, and its main attraction is the fight scenes. After Yu Cong was seriously injured and hospitalized by Hu Xiaoxiao, the production team hired a new martial arts director, who continued to use Hu Xiaoxiao's previous style of action scenes.

After filming wrapped, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't have a moment to rest because she had to record the theme song for "Cheng Zhaofeng".

The theme song is called "A Triumphant Smile," and its style perfectly matches Cheng Zhaofeng's carefree life, which Hu Xiaoxiao also really likes.

Life is a play, after all.

Why dwell too much on past grievances?

Fame and fortune, what are they anyway?

You can't take anything with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die.

Life is unpredictable, filled with both joy and sorrow.

If we are not destined to meet again in this life, may we meet again in the next.

Love and hate, what are those things?

The boat will move when it reaches the bridge.

And wave your sleeve, without looking back.

It's time for drinking and merrymaking.

While wealth is desirable, true happiness is hard to find.

I strolled confidently along every major road—

I smiled smugly.

He smiled smugly again.

A life lived with laughter and youth remains.

I smiled smugly.

He smiled smugly again.

Seeking a life of carefree joy—
