Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Chapter 31 Deliberately making things difficult

Hu Xiaoxiao's goal is to have no weaknesses and achieve all-round development.

Strength is the only true victory.

Zhao Yanhong didn't believe Hu Xiaoxiao's words and scoffed, "What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? Every day after work you don't leave, you go to find a vocal coach to learn to sing until dark. Do you think no one knows? If this isn't your secret weapon, what is it?"

"I consider myself to have tried my best," Hu Xiaoxiao said.

Zhao Yanhong rolled her eyes at Hu Xiaoxiao, "If I get first place and rank ahead of you, I'll be impressed if you stay this calm."

"You?" Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhao Yanhong and shook her head: "You can't beat me."

"We'll see."

On stage, the play performed by the five beauties in the third group has ended.

Next, the fourth group of contestants performed a musical.

After the contestants finished their performances, it was time for the interactive segment.

"Please welcome our 24 beauties!" the host, Chen Jinchu, announced loudly.

All the beauties changed into little dresses, each with a graceful figure. From number 1 to number 24, they filed in, making the entire stage seem several degrees brighter.

The contestants walked to the center of the stage, stood in a row, and faced the audience at the venue and those watching on television.

The so-called interactive segment involves the guests challenging the contestants to test their ability to adapt to unexpected situations.

On stage, 24 beauties stood in a row, allowing the audience to appreciate their talents, looks, and temperament more directly.

The beauties were all fair-skinned and beautiful. When each of them stood out individually, they were all stunning and it was hard to tell who was the most beautiful.

However, when they all stand together, the visual impact reveals that beauty also has different levels.

Among the group of beauties, the woman standing on the right was so fair she seemed to glow. She had a superb figure, outstanding looks, and even more so, exceptional temperament, making it impossible not to linger one's gaze on her.

Linda, who was present today, was somewhat disappointed. She whispered to her assistant, Amei, "Athena had the best temperament and appearance during the preliminary selection, but today she seems to have fallen short."

Ah Mei, who had been keeping an eye on the contestants, said, "Athena probably didn't perform to her usual standard today. The incident with the entertainment weekly must have had a huge impact on her, and she probably hasn't recovered yet. Athena doesn't seem as energetic as she used to be."

Linda frowned and said, "If she can't let go of this, her future will be difficult."

Ah Mei smiled again and said, "If Sister Linda is willing to train her, she can quickly learn and be able to stand on her own in no time."

Linda remained silent.

Charlie also arrived at the scene.

Seeing the beauties on stage, he smiled and said to Anna next to him, "Look at number 19, Hu Xiaoxiao. She has changed a lot in just a short time."

Anna, who was the one who interviewed Hu Xiaoxiao from the beginning, agreed wholeheartedly with Charlie's words. "When I first met her, she was a very beautiful girl with a great figure and confidence. But now, she exudes a powerful aura, with a regal presence; she's like a completely different person. I'm convinced of your judgment now."

When Charlie first asked her to give Hu Xiaoxiao a discount, Anna thought Charlie was making a mountain out of a molehill. The station wasn't short of beautiful actresses; they had signed four or five Miss Hong Kong winners. Why would they need to give a favor to a contestant who hadn't even placed yet?

Looking at it now, it seems that experience truly matters.

"To be honest, I didn't expect her to grow up so quickly at first. You women change so fast," Charlie exclaimed.

Anna glanced at him sideways. "You talk as if men never change."

Charlie said, "I mean, you women can become beautiful very quickly."

“Anyone who believes your words is doomed,” Anna said.

On stage, Chen Jinchu invited contestant number 1, Shu Wen.

Shu Wen walked out gracefully, circled the stage, and showcased her figure and temperament.

When she walked up to the host, Chen Jinchu, she greeted him politely: "Hello, host."

"Hello, Shuwen, you can just call me by my English name, Gavin."

Shu Wen readily greeted him, "Hello, Gavin."

"Okay, Shuwen, next, a guest will test you." Chen Jinchu looked at the audience, where another host, Fang Shigao, was already sitting next to film director Du Libin. "Leave it to Shigao."

Fang Shigao immediately turned to Du Libin and said with a smile, "Director Du, please ask this beauty a question."

Du Libin is a director known for his nonsensical style, having directed several hit films and making him a well-known director in Hong Kong. He is also known for his playful pranks.

Du Libin took the microphone, thought for a moment, and asked contestant number 1, Shu Wen, on stage: "Ms. Shu, if your boyfriend and your dad fell into the water together, would you choose to save your dad first or your boyfriend first? You have to save one."

This is an unsolvable problem.

When Shu Wen heard the question, her heart skipped a beat, but she still managed to maintain a smile.

Not wanting to remain silent for too long, Shu Wen could only grit her teeth and say, "I choose to save my daddy first."

Du Libin immediately asked, "So you're just going to watch your boyfriend drown? How cruel of you!"

“Because, I think,” Shu Wen’s mind raced, trying to reconcile her answer, “my daddy gave birth to me and raised me, and everyone only has one daddy, so…”

"So, you only have one daddy, but you can have many boyfriends, right? So, it doesn't matter how many die, right?" Du Libin asked.

"It's not like that. My boyfriend, of course, I love him very much. He's the only one for me, because I'm very devoted to love." Under the watchful eyes of everyone present and Du Libin's probing questions, Shu Wen began to lose her composure.

Host Chen Jinchu stepped in to smooth things over, laughing and saying, "Ms. Shu's answer isn't problematic. Choosing to save her boyfriend first would likely have had more serious consequences. Alright, thank you, Ms. Shu. Please return to the stage. Next, please welcome contestant number 2, Bao Xiaoqiong."

Bao Xiaoqiong stepped forward, walked around the stage, showcasing her figure and demeanor, and then approached the host. "Hello, Gavin."

"Hello, Ms. Bao Xiaoqiong." Chen Jinchu invited another audience member to come and ask Bao Xiaoqiong a question.

The audience member smiled slyly, took the microphone from Fang Shigao, and asked, "Ms. Bao, my question is the same as Director Du's earlier question: If your boyfriend and your dad both fell into the water, which one would you choose to save? Your answer cannot be the same as Ms. Shu's (number 1) answer."

The audience couldn't help but laugh.

When Bao Xiaoqiong heard Director Du ask Shu Wen this question, she breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she hadn't encountered such a tricky question.

Unexpectedly, such a tricky question finally fell on her.

Thinking of the embarrassment Shu Wen had just experienced, being constantly challenged and unable to do anything, Bao Xiaoqiong simply said, "I choose to jump into the water and die with them."
