Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

After spinning twice, Hu Xiaoxiao took his hand, spun around twice in place, released his hand, and then spun around again, turning to her next position.

Not a single step off.

Next contestant...

The song ended, the music stopped, and the dance ceased.

The people behind the scenes all applauded.

The rehearsal went very smoothly, with almost no mistakes, and everyone performed very well.

After seeing Chen Tianwang off, the training instructors gathered the contestants together to summarize the shortcomings of this rehearsal.

"Overall, the positioning was fine and the execution was good. However, the dance moves were not natural enough and not as good as during practice."

A beautiful woman below laughed and said, "Teacher, who can dance naturally with Heavenly King Chen? It's good enough if you don't make any mistakes."

The training instructor disagreed with her, saying, "Hu Xiaoxiao was quite natural. If you didn't dance well, you should reflect on it. What excuses are you making? If this were the finals, the judges would deduct points for dancing like this. What, don't you want to win a prize?"

Of course I want to! How could I not want to win a prize?

Although Chen Tianwang is handsome, charming, and very attractive, winning the Miss Hong Kong title is even more exciting.

All the beauties were clear-headed and rational, extinguishing any romantic notions that might have crossed their minds, and focused on practicing their dance.

Hu Xiaoxiao was also practicing. Although she didn't make any mistakes and performed well, and the teacher praised her, there's a difference between dancing on stage and dancing in the practice room, especially when you're performing alongside a superstar.

Chen Tianwang's personal charm is too strong, and his stage presence is too outstanding. Although she performed her dance at a normal level, she keenly noticed that her stage presence was suppressed by Chen Tianwang.

That won't do. The Miss Hong Kong pageant should be a stage for her, the future champion. How can she become a supporting character to highlight Chen Tianwang?

She is the true master of the stage; she is the one who controls it.

If she didn't have that ability, she wouldn't be able to win the championship with 100% certainty.

Hu Xiaoxiao practiced even more diligently, refining her skills bit by bit, constantly reflecting and improving.

She was ambitious and wanted to overshadow Chen Tianwang on the final stage.

Sharing the stage with a superstar, without feeling nervous and instead focused on outshining the other person, is probably something only Hu Xiaoxiao would do.

Because she had such a powerful goal, one that was almost impossible to achieve, Hu Xiaoxiao practiced even harder, and she didn't leave the training room until it got dark and all the other contestants had left.

"Miss Hu, why haven't you left yet?"

On the first floor of the TV station, Hu Xiaoxiao ran into Zhong Boding again.

“We’re on our way,” Hu Xiaoxiao replied.

Zhong Boding smiled and came over to invite her, "It's so late, Miss Hu, haven't you had dinner yet? A new Thai restaurant just opened nearby, would you like to come and try some delicious food with me?"

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry," Hu Xiaoxiao replied. She needed to rush back to her dance class to practice her dance again.

"Are you being so disrespectful?" Chung Pak-ting walked up to Hu Xiao-xiao, blocking her path, straightened his tie, and exuded a dashing air. "Ms. Hu, do you know? I have been selected as one of the emcees for the Miss Hong Kong pageant finals."

Master of Ceremonies? Oh, that's the host.

"Congratulations." Hu Xiaoxiao walked past Zhong Boding and was about to leave.

Zhong Boding blocked her way again, "If you're so disrespectful, aren't you afraid I'll make things difficult for you in the finals?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoxiao stopped and sized up the somewhat handsome Zhong Boding. "How do you plan to make things difficult for me?"

"That's hard to say." Zhong Boding thought he had scared Hu Xiaoxiao, and smiled meaningfully.

Hu Xiaoxiao asked, "Can you disqualify me from running for office?"

"How can this be?"

"So, can you prevent me from winning the championship?"

"That's impossible."

"Besides being the host and emcee, are you also a judge?"

"No, I'm just the host, doing the job of an emcee."

Hu Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "So, in other words, you can't do anything. So what nonsense are you spouting? You're crazy!"

Hu Xiaoxiao called Zhong Boding a lunatic and walked past him out of the TV station.

Zhong Boding was left with nothing but anger.

After intense training, the day of this year's Miss Hong Kong pageant finals has finally arrived.

On this day, the world was focused on this momentous event, with almost all the citizens of Baogang paying close attention to it.

The housewife who enjoys playing cards cancelled her game and stayed in front of the TV instead.

Students finished their homework early and sat in front of the television.

White-collar workers also put aside their work to pay attention to this event.

The workers forgot their day's fatigue and waited in front of the television.

Restaurants, hotels, and even the only large screen in Baogang's largest shopping mall all switched their channels to Baogang TV.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Miss Hong Kong Pageant Finals are now officially open—"

With an inspiring opening speech from the emcee, the Miss Hong Kong pageant officially began, and everyone was glued to their television sets.

"Please welcome our four emcees for tonight's event—Mr. Chan Kam-Cho, Mr. Fong Sze-Kau, Mr. Chung Pak-Ting, and our special guest, Mr. Lee Yiu-Yue—"

The stage lights blazed on, and the four emcees for the grand finale walked onto the stage.

Of the four emcees, Chan Kam-cho is the top male host at Po Kong Television, appearing at various major events and competitions. He is also a veteran host who can command the scene, with a style that can be both humorous and solemn, and is the most familiar host to the citizens of Po Kong.

Fang Shigao is a very popular host in recent years and is hailed as the successor to Chen Jinchu. He is witty and intelligent, and his programs are very popular with the citizens of Baogang.

Chung Pak-ting is a new generation host at Po Kong Television. He is young and handsome, and has a good reputation among the younger generation. He is a young host that Po Kong Television is currently promoting.

Li Yaoyue is essentially a part-time host. However, he receives more attention because of his other identity—he is a big name in the Hong Kong film industry, a box office guarantee, and a winner of the Best Actor award.

Because he is witty, outspoken, and has high emotional intelligence, TV stations often invite him to guest host.

Li Yaoyue also came from Baogang TV and has a good relationship with the TV station's executives, so when he's not filming movies, he doesn't mind making a cameo appearance to boost his popularity.

The four hosts, Chan Kam-chu and Lee Yiu-yuet, stood in the center, while Fong Sze-ko and Chung Po-ting stood on either side.

This shows that even hosts have roles of primary and secondary importance.

"Hello everyone, we meet again." As a top host and the number one host in the industry, Chen Jinchu was the first to speak. "That's right, after hosting the semi-finals, I'm here to host the finals."

Li Yaoyue spoke second, "I watched the semi-final hosted by Chu Ge. If I had known it would be so exciting, I would have signed up to host the semi-final myself. I watched it from beginning to end and I think that semi-final was even more exciting than the previous Miss Hong Kong finals. I really regret not being able to go to the event."

Fang Shigao laughed and said, "Brother Yue, don't be disappointed. Tonight is the main event, and you won't miss the exciting matches."

In his closing remarks, Chung Po-ting said, "That's right, I am also very fortunate to be able to participate in hosting such an important event tonight, and to have the opportunity to learn from several seniors."
