Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao is now one of the owners of Shengshi Entertainment, and there are many things she can do. If she creates her own brand and promotes her own products for free, or directly sponsors costumes for her own movies, she can not only collect a share of the box office revenue, but also increase the profits of her company.

The more Hu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She decided to test the waters with the garment factory first, and then expand the business further once she achieved success.

Mingxu also thought the idea of ​​investing in building a factory was good. Buying houses all the time would only lead to more and more houses being built, which would eventually become old and worthless, making it a poor long-term investment. Building a factory seemed risky, but with Xie Zhiheng's Xie family backing it up, and with his and Hu Xiaoxiao's reputations, they could save a lot of money just on hiring spokespeople.

"Xiaoxiao, let's make women's clothing first. Once the women's clothing is good, we can make men's clothing. You can be the spokesperson for the women's clothing, and I'll be the spokesperson for the men's clothing," Mingxu suggested.

Hu Xiaoxiao thought this was a good idea; after making men's clothing, they could also make children's clothing. She asked Xie Zhiheng what he thought.

What does Xie Zhiheng think? Go for it!

Tiancui City is almost fully developed. Now that it's done, he's wondering what to do next. Although he still holds a position in the Xie Group, it's nothing compared to the satisfaction he got from developing Tiancui City. He built it all up on his own, and the sense of accomplishment is immense.

It was he who built up Tiancui City. When people mentioned Young Master Xie, they no longer viewed him with the frivolousness of a playboy, but with more respect. This feeling made Xie Zhiheng feel very good.

"I'll start recruiting tomorrow and get the entire management team for the garment factory in place. They've been building industrial parks all along in the mainland. If we rent a factory and buy the machinery, we can start production right away," Xie Zhiheng said.

Hu Xiaoxiao had another idea. "Renting a factory? That's not cost-effective. See if there are any land auctions. Buy a piece of land and build your own factory. By the way, industrial parks are being built everywhere in the city opposite Baogang. Isn't your Xie family in the real estate business? Why not bid for a piece of land to build an industrial park? Then, in addition to the factory you own, you can rent out the others."

Xie Zhiheng said, "Someone from the other side came to invite my father to do some construction, but building an industrial park would require too much investment. I'm afraid that if the policies there change, it will cause a lot of trouble."

“What investment in this world is without risk? The Xie family doesn’t want to stay in Baogang forever, does it? That would be a bit short-sighted.” Hu Xiaoxiao was quite optimistic about the mainland. No matter how prosperous Baogang was, it was just a small island. No matter how much it developed, its luck and fortune were limited. How could it compare to the beauty and talent of the mainland? In addition, she had an affection for the mainland, so she advised Xie Zhiheng to go for it.

Sister Xi chimed in from the side, "Miss Hu has always had excellent taste; young master might want to consider it."

Xie Zhiheng immediately realized how he had obtained Tiancui City. "Okay! I'll listen to Sister Xiao. I'll go back to Dad tomorrow to ask for money and people. No, I'll borrow from him!"

Xie Zhiheng thought to himself with satisfaction that what he had borrowed would be his own money when he started doing business with it, instead of what others said about him benefiting from his father's influence.

Who knows, Daddy might even benefit from his influence in the future!

Xie Zhiheng felt increasingly pleased with himself. If he were in front of strangers, he would have to be reserved and mindful of his manners, but since everyone here was a familiar face, he couldn't help but smile.

After discussing it, Hu Xiaoxiao transferred all the money she had just earned to Xie Zhiheng as start-up capital. Mingxu also gave Xie Zhiheng his savings, saying that if he needed more money, he could always take on a few more acting roles.

Xie Zhiheng glanced at Mingxu's money and mocked him bluntly: "How much do you make for a movie? You've been working for so many years and this is all you've earned? You're not even as well off as Sister Xiao!"

"So we'll have to rely on you, Young Master Xie, to help us out," Mingxu said.

Xie Zhiheng liked to hear this and said, "You're welcome, but I also owe my success to Sister Xiao."

Mingxu immediately said, "Then I'll cook a big meal today to reward Xiaoxiao, this God of Wealth."

Sister Xi said, "I'll help you, and we'll make a total of twenty dishes."

As soon as Hu Xiaoxiao heard there was food, she immediately ordered all the dishes she liked.

Preparing a table with twenty dishes is a huge undertaking. Although Mingxu was the head chef and Sister Xi assisted, they were still quite busy.

Mahjong can't be played without two people, so Hu Xiaoxiao simply helped peel garlic and such. Xie Zhiheng also ran to the kitchen to help, saying he was helping to wash vegetables, but he ended up making water all over the floor and getting his clothes all wet. Sister Xi couldn't stand it and kicked him out.

This lavish meal wasn't ready until sunset, and the group treated it as a celebratory opening banquet for their successful business, indulging in food and drink to their hearts' content.

Shengshi Entertainment, on the other hand, has not yet produced its first film or made its first artist famous, but the company has already made a fortune.

Thanks to Hu Xiaoxiao's timely information, Huang Yuliang's early intervention, and Hu Xiaoxiao's guidance, the company invested almost all its funds in acquiring assets. Now that the situation has stabilized, the company's accounts have seen a dramatic increase in value.

With money in hand, the company felt more confident and hired many more people.

With Hu Xiaoxiao's name on the team, recruiting people is much easier than before.

During a company meeting, Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the list of newly recruited artists and noticed that a few more had joined.

After the meeting, she made a special trip to see several of the newly recruited artists.

Among the company's artists, the one that left a deep impression on Hu Xiaoxiao was a male artist named Jiang Muyang, whom Huang Yuliang brought from Taiwan.

He was an artist that Huang Yuliang spotted when he recruited a film and television company. He was extremely good-looking, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, three-dimensional features, and an excellent figure with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. What's even more rare is that he has an inherent sense of righteousness. He was clearly a good candidate to play the male lead.

After joining Shengshi, Hu Xiaoxiao also recruited a few people from the dance school, mostly women, all of whom were photogenic.

Jiang Muyang is a good catch and easy to promote, but it's more difficult to make female artists famous beyond just being pretty faces. Hu Xiaoxiao is thinking about how to make the new movie and how to continue promoting female actors.

The easiest way to make a splash is to shoot action movies, but Hu Xiaoxiao is having some trouble figuring out how to shoot action movies with female protagonists and what kind of subject matter to choose.

Fortunately, she's the boss now, so she can delegate the headaches to her employees.

She made a special trip to the screenwriting department and assigned them a task: to write a script for an action film with a female protagonist, and specifically requested that Leung Ka-Fung be the lead actor.

Liang Jiafeng's script is very distinctive. Hu Xiaoxiao likes his style very much. Moreover, he is her protégé and they have worked together before. It would be perfect for him to take the lead and work with the screenwriters below.

Liang Jiafeng accepted the task without hesitation. Although he now worked for a company, he knew very well that his real boss was Hu Xiaoxiao. Long before Hu Xiaoxiao generously gave him an advance on his salary to help him through his financial difficulties, he had already been thinking about how to repay his boss.
