Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Jiang Muyang stared intently at the audience below the stage. Indeed, a few enthusiastic fans who had witnessed the man's actions earlier wanted to rush onto the stage and get up close and personal with their idol.

Jiang Muyang waited excitedly for his rescue, mentally rehearsing various heroic plans. However, the security supervisor in charge of security could not allow such a thing to happen again. The sudden incident had already given the supervisor a fright, and if it happened a second time, he would definitely be fired.

The security supervisor ordered his guards to form a human wall and hold the line, and then called the company to call in more people to maintain order.

Not only that, the security supervisor also borrowed security guards from the cinema to guard the stage.

The promotional event was a lively affair. The actors on stage gave a fantastic performance, while the audience below the stage were busy watching the show from the back and pushing their way onto the stage from the front.

The reporters inside were like a sandwich, caught in the middle, unable to move forward or backward, only concerned with protecting their cameras. Everything else could be lost, everything else could be broken, but the camera couldn't be lost or broken. They had captured the entire sequence of actions of the enthusiastic male fan who rushed onto the stage; there were several photos with optical illusions, which they would use for the cover story and headlines, guaranteeing huge sales.

The promotional campaign was a great success, and the various achievements of "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts 2" were compiled and reported by reporters. At the same time, gossip stories also included the incident of a male fan harassing Hu Xiaoxiao on stage.

Hu Xiaoxiao has many fans, some rational and some fanatical. The fanatical fans use all sorts of methods to get close to their idol, such as chasing her car, staking out her, or even trying to sneak into her home.

Previously, Hu Xiaoxiao's whereabouts were unknown to the outside world, so her fans couldn't catch her and she didn't experience as much harassment. Recently, in order to promote her movie, Hu Xiaoxiao has been frequently out in public, and since promotions require prior notice, her enthusiastic fans are now chasing after her like crazy.

The fact that reports about Hu Xiaoxiao were selling very well led reporters to come and film the frenzied behavior of these enthusiastic fans. The increasing frequency of such news stories has caused many people to frown upon them.

Hu Xiaoxiao frowned after seeing several news articles about the outrageous behavior of these fanatical fans. Although these news articles could increase the popularity of the movie, seeing too many of them was a bit annoying.

Just as Hu Xiaoxiao was figuring out how to suppress the news, Tan Yinglian called her.

On the other end of the phone, Tan Yinglian laughed and said, "I was just wondering how to provide employee benefits. I thought your new movie was pretty good, so I'm planning to rent out a whole theater for the employees to watch. Xiaoxiao, is there any Shengshi Cinema chain theater with relatively low foot traffic? I'll rent out a theater for three days to support your movie and help you break the record soon."

"Aunt Tan, you're too kind. What's our relationship? Just tell me which movie theater you want, and I'll make room for you for a few days. As for the box office, I'll take care of it; you don't need to spend any money, Aunt Tan."

“You’re being too formal with me,” Tan Yinglian said. “We’re friends in private and business partners in public. Whether it’s official or private, you can’t stop me from helping you…”

Seeing that it was Tan Yinglian's kind gesture, Hu Xiaoxiao didn't refuse. Talking about money would create distance between them. So she arranged for Tan Yinglian to have a movie theater near her company booked for three days.

Tan Yinglian's decision to book the entire theater was like a good omen. Soon after, Luo Ji, who had been working with Hu Xiaoxiao, also called to offer to book a theater for their employees to watch "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts 2".

Besides Luo Ji, other businesses that have been cooperating for several years also called to say they would book a whole theater to watch the movie in support of Hu Xiaoxiao and "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts 2".

"I'm not just supporting you, I'm also supporting Baogang Cinema and Baogang Culture. Xiaoxiao, I hope your achievements will continue to grow. I believe that one day, Baogang will be proud of you..."

Hearing the words of his old friends, Hu Xiaoxiao felt a warmth in his heart.

She loves this world so much and enjoys life here so much, largely because she has so many warm-hearted friends who have always supported her and brought her warmth and comfort.

To support Hu Xiaoxiao, the Xie family even booked a movie theater for their employees to watch. With so many employees in the Xie Group, it took seven days to finish the screenings. Even Xie Zhiheng, who was busy in mainland China, made a special trip back to Hong Kong to watch the movie several times.

The film's popularity, coupled with the help of many friends, boosted its box office significantly. "The Inspector Wears Skirts 2" broke the all-time box office record in Hong Kong, becoming the highest-grossing film in the city.

Meanwhile, "The Inspector Wears Skirts 2" also saw its box office soar in other regions.

Just as Hu Xiaoxiao predicted, "The Inspector Wears Skirts 2" became a phenomenal film. After being extended twice, the film grossed over HK$100 million in Hong Kong alone when it was taken off the screens, and the box office would have been even higher if the box office in Taiwan were included.

"The Invincible Queen of Hong Kong 2" became the first film in Hong Kong's history to gross over 100 million at the box office, shocking the entire film industry.

Upon seeing the total box office figures, the employees of Shengshi Entertainment cheered.

Huang Yuliang immediately told Hu Xiaoxiao that he wanted to throw her a celebration banquet.

Hu Xiaoxiao was sitting in Huang Yuliang's office drinking red wine. Huang had a large collection of fine wines, and Hu Xiaoxiao would come over for a drink whenever he felt like it, and also to discuss business.

After seeing the box office record, Hu Xiaoxiao had already passed the moment of excitement. She put down her wine glass and said to Huang Yuliang, "This movie has made the company's reputation soar, and the positive impact and other benefits it will bring to the company in the future are countless. Mr. Huang, I think you don't care about this little bit of money, right?"

Having worked with Hu Xiaoxiao for so long, Huang Yuliang had developed a tacit understanding with her. He asked, "What do you want to do with this box office revenue?"

Hu Xiaoxiao poured Huang Yuliang a glass of wine, handed it to him, and then sat down opposite him, saying, "After deducting costs, publicity, taxes, and dividends to the cinemas, the box office revenue is only a few tens of millions. I've checked the company's accounts, and we don't need those tens of millions. Why don't we donate it all?"

Huang Yuliang asked in surprise, "Donate it all? Who are you going to donate it to?"

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "Half of the donation will be given to Baogang, since the majority of the box office revenue comes from the citizens of Baogang. Half of this donation will be given to the Women and Children's Foundation, which will distribute the funds. The other half, I want to donate back to the mainland to help them build roads and schools."

Huang Yuliang knew that Hu Xiaoxiao was always generous, earning a lot and spending a lot, but he didn't expect her to donate it all without keeping a single penny.

Honestly, having such a generous partner is quite a headache.

Huang Yuliang stood up, took a wine glass, walked half a circle around the office, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling traffic outside.

After pondering for a moment, he turned around and said, "You make the decision."

Hu Xiaoxiao thought she would have to work hard to persuade him, but she didn't expect him to agree so easily. She asked, "Aren't you going to stop me?"

Huang Yuliang took a sip of his drink and said, "Since you've already made the allocation, stopping you this time won't stop you from doing it again. Besides, donating this money won't be without benefit to the company."

Huang Yuliang calmly analyzed, "The film's promotion focuses on Hong Kong culture and its emotional appeal. Many viewers bought tickets for that reason. Now, by donating the money, we're giving the company a chance to advertise its humanitarian spirit, which is beneficial to its image. As for the money donated to the mainland, it will be even more useful. Our branch in the mainland is ready and will be established this year. This donation will enhance the company's image, giving them a good impression of us and facilitating our future development in the mainland. I consider this an investment in advance. More importantly—"

Huang Yuliang looked at the peerless Hu Xiaoxiao with a faint smile, "You can spend money, and you can earn it even better. I believe you can earn this money back for the company tenfold or a hundredfold."

Now that "Baogang Inspector Wears Skirts 2" is a hit, the salaries of the main actors have increased several times over. They are overwhelmed with endorsement and commercial activities, and have so many film offers that they can't even choose from them all.

Huang Yuliang was very confident that as long as Hu Xiaoxiao was there, Shengshi Entertainment would always have endless money to make.
