Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

When the other artists heard that Yu Liang had landed a role, they were all envious. Those who hadn't yet performed immediately perked up and decided to go all out and give it their all.

This visible path forward, this fair and just competition, is the most inspiring.

Although not every artist's performance was outstanding, it was clear that they all gave their best efforts.

Hu Xiaoxiao found another leading lady among the female performers—Yilan.

While Yilan's martial arts skills may not be the most profound, her movements possess an exceptional crispness and efficiency, without any unnecessary hesitation. When well-trained, such actors make action scenes highly entertaining and memorable for the audience.

Hu Xiaoxiao decided to give Yilan a chance. As for the other artists, those who performed well could be given minor roles.

In this way, all four female leads are present: Yuan An'er, Xiong Caiwei, Yi Lan, and Hu Xiaoxiao.

Hu Xiaoxiao remembers that Yu Liang is a minor leader under the main villain, with a lot of screen time and exciting action scenes, so he could be given a chance to play the role.

After all the arrangements were made, Liang Jiafeng's script was revised. The role remained the same, but the amount of screen time was increased or decreased. After discussion, the movie title was changed to "The Inspector Wears Skirts of Hong Kong".

To create a sense of familiarity for the audience and increase the boss's fame, Liang Jiafeng, following the current practice in some films, named the protagonist Yunxiao after an actor's courtesy name.

If you can bring the character to life, when people think of this movie and this character in the future, they will think of Hu Xiaoxiao.

Moreover, Leung Ka-fung has ambitious plans to turn "The Invincible Flower of Hong Kong" into a film series and make it a flagship product of Shengshi Entertainment.

After the script was finalized, Shengshi Entertainment began recruiting actors.

The main villain is a highly skilled fighter, so we need to recruit him from the martial arts industry. There are also quite a few other characters, all of whom need to be recruited from outside.

Hu Xiaoxiao delegated these tasks to the director, with Nie Jinlong assisting her, while she was busy with other pre-production work.

It was at this time that Hu Xiaoxiao discovered the weaknesses of the company's employees.

Hu Xiaoxiao was dissatisfied with the costumes and styling. They were sent back for rework several times, but none of them met her requirements.

The stylists and costume designers aren't quite up to par, but that's understandable given Shengshi Entertainment's recent establishment. The fact that they've managed to assemble and operate their departments is already quite impressive. Recruiting top talent will take time.

If it were another film company, their requirements might not be as strict as Hu Xiaoxiao's, and the resulting look would probably be acceptable.

However, Hu Xiaoxiao has very high standards for movies, demanding perfection in everything from costumes and styling to makeup.

In modern dramas, Hu Xiaoxiao requires actors to have fashionable clothing that matches the characteristics of their characters, and their makeup and styling must also meet the requirements of the actors and the roles. She hopes that the costumes, styling, and makeup in her films will still be attractive even after ten or twenty years.

Hu Xiaoxiao frequently follows fashion trends, thus possessing her own unique insights into fashion and a keen sense of future trends. Her films not only need exciting action sequences but also a strong sense of style.

She also plans to give Yuan An'er a sophisticated look that sets her apart from other movie stars, which requires designers and stylists to have a high level of expertise.

Hu Xiaoxiao called Yuan An'er over and did her makeup. Using the effect of shadows, she made Yuan An'er's nose bridge look higher and straighter, and also applied shadows to both sides of her cheeks, making Yuan An'er's face look smaller and more three-dimensional.

Yuan An'er's lip shape wasn't defined enough, so Hu Xiaoxiao drew a clear lip line based on Yuan An'er's face shape, then chose a retro-colored lipstick and applied it.

Hu Xiaoxiao examined the makeup for a moment, then brought a mirror for Yuan An'er to see. "What do you think of this makeup?"

Yuan An'er held the mirror, staring blankly at her reflection, feeling utterly unfamiliar with her. "Is this me?"

Am I that good-looking?

"Do you like it?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked her.

Yuan An'er held the mirror, looked at herself from left to right, and couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. "I like it."

Hu Xiaoxiao received an affirmative answer and laughed, "From now on, you'll debut with this look."

Although Hu Xiaoxiao felt this look suited Yuan An'er well and could help her carve out a different path, she also had to respect Yuan An'er's wishes. If Yuan An'er didn't like it, she couldn't be forced to do it.

Yuan An'er looked at herself in the mirror and felt secretly pleased for a while before she finally put the mirror down. She looked up at Hu Xiaoxiao, who was busy for her, her eyes warm, and whispered, "Sister Xiao, thank you."

After tidying up her makeup box, Hu Xiaoxiao rubbed the top of Yuan An'er's head as she sat in a chair, not one for words, and said, "Just focus on acting from now on."

"Mmm!" Yuan An'er hummed heavily, then whispered, "Sister Xiao, you've made me look so beautiful, but I'm afraid I don't live up to such a beautiful makeup."

"Don't worry, I've specially hired a posture coach. She'll give you some special training on your image and demeanor. Just learn from her carefully."

The posture coach was specially recruited by Hu Xiaoxiao for the artists. She wanted to cultivate a temperament and physique suitable for each artist so that when Shengshi's artists went out, they would stand out from the crowd.

Although Hu Xiaoxiao treats celebrities as cash cows, no matter what kind of tree it is, it needs to be fertilized, watered, and the soil loosened in order to bear bigger and sweeter fruit.

Hu Xiaoxiao's efforts paid off. Yuan An'er put on the clothes that Hu Xiaoxiao had specially chosen for her and went out, immediately attracting the attention of other artists.

It's as if she was just an ugly duckling and suddenly turned into a beautiful swan.

If you can also improve your posture, you'll be simply amazing.

"An'er, what's this? Did you cast a spell on me?" Xiong Caiwei pulled Yuan An'er over and asked in surprise, "I almost didn't recognize you. Is this the new look the stylist did for you? You look so beautiful."

Yuan An'er shook her head. "It was Sister Xiao who made it."

"Is the principal that amazing?" Xiong Caiwei said quickly, "I also want the principal to do my hair and makeup, I want to look beautiful too."

Yuan An'er honestly said, "Caiwei, you are already very beautiful."

Other artists weren't so bold; they didn't dare ask Hu Xiaoxiao for styling advice. But when Yuan An'er told them that Hu Xiaoxiao was going to hire a special posture coach to teach them, they were all surprised, delighted, and delighted. The company didn't have to do this, but they were still willing to spend so much money to train them, which shows they made the right choice in joining the company.

With the cast almost finalized and the start date for filming to be set, Hu Xiaoxiao invited a physical education teacher and instructed the artists to begin classes immediately.

Furthermore, they hired fashion stylists and senior designers at high salaries to redesign the characters in "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts".
