Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao's idea was good, and her approach was correct. When she arrived in front of the director wearing the outfit she had devised, the director's eyes clearly lit up.

She wore a black beret, and her curly hair was tied into two loose low ponytails with a hairband, hanging down in front of her chest, which made her already beautiful face even more delicate, and her age seemed to match the role's identity.

Wearing a black knee-length dress with a ruffled collar, her fair skin glowed, and she carried a white backpack, exuding youthful energy. The entire character was far more vivid than Chang Sisi, who was only described in one sentence in the script; she was a character who had stepped right out of the script.

However, her lack of acting experience was a fatal flaw and caused her the greatest difficulty.

"Cut!" the director yelled, exasperated.

"Hu Xiaoxiao!" the director shouted angrily, "Look at the camera! What are you looking at the actors for? Look at the camera! The camera is here, so you need to find your position!"

Hu Xiaoxiao puffed out her cheeks, her round face resembling goldfish gills. "Director, let's do it again."

The male protagonist, Fang Jin, holds the female protagonist, Chang An'an's hand and expresses his love to her.

Chang An'an was overjoyed and extremely nervous when suddenly a familiar voice called out to her, "Big Sister!"

The camera pans to a girl who looks at the camera.

"Cut!" the director yelled again. "Hu Xiaoxiao, I told you to look at the camera, not stare at it! Why are you staring so intently at the camera? Do you think you're looking in a mirror?"

Even from a great distance, you could hear the director scolding Hu Xiaoxiao over the loudspeaker.

The film crew of "All the Way With You" chose a new residential complex as their filming location. The facilities and roads were very new, and since the complex wouldn't be completed for another month, there were few people and cars on the streets, resulting in excellent footage. Therefore, the crew filmed several scenes there.

When Xie Zhiheng first heard Hu Xiaoxiao's name, he thought he had misheard, thinking he was so eager to teach that woman a lesson that he was hallucinating.

After hearing Hu Xiaoxiao's name several times, he went to the balcony and looked down.

It really is that vixen.

Why does this fairy look younger?

Why didn't this vixen talk back when the director scolded her like that? Wasn't she supposed to be very sharp-tongued?

Why are you being so cowardly today?

Xie Zhiheng felt surprisingly pleased watching Hu Xiaoxiao being scolded by the director. He whistled a long whistle at Hu Xiaoxiao, which drew the attention of the crew.

Hu Xiaoxiao also looked up and saw him holding onto the balcony railing, wearing sunglasses and a plaid shirt, his hair still styled in a neat three-seven part with mousse.

But the smile on his face was still nasty.

Hu Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze and refocused her attention on acting.

She constantly adjusted herself, summarized her experiences, and pondered how to portray the character in front of the camera.

Finally, on the next test, it passed.

The director was also tired, so he let them rest for a while, and then adjusted the camera positions before starting the next scene.

Actress Meng Qi, who plays the female lead, brought water to the director. Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao seemingly lost in thought, she quietly said to the director, "Director, she's affecting the progress. Perhaps we should replace her."

The director took a sip of water, glanced at her indifferently, and said, "She only has a few scenes in the whole series, how much impact can she have?"

"I just saw you were too tired and I felt sorry for you. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to finish filming today."

"If there's really no other way, just shoot her face." Good-looking people don't need to do anything; just standing there is enough to create a stunning shot. The director saw through Meng Qi's thoughts and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're afraid of being overshadowed by her."

"Since you know that, why did you still bring in such a beautiful supporting actress? She's already stolen all my scenes," Meng Qi said, somewhat displeased.

The director was even more dissatisfied and directly berated Meng Qi: "A few shots are enough to crush you. You might as well change careers sooner rather than later."

Although Hu Xiaoxiao kept making mistakes, which annoyed him, the good thing was that she was willing to learn and didn't act like a diva just because she was a Miss Hong Kong winner. It was clear that she was always learning. Compared to those actors who act like divas, the director thought she was already doing very well.

Moreover, there is another very important reason: Hu Xiaoxiao's involvement can improve the quality of this drama.

He was a director with no connections, and he finally managed to get a role in a film, which he really wanted to make well. However, the investment in this film was too small, many people were not optimistic about it, the male and female leads were both relatively unknown artists, and the cast and crew were the worst possible.

This movie is definitely not going to air in a primetime slot; at best, it'll only get a daytime slot. If we're unlucky, it might even be shelved, with no one knowing when it'll be released.

But now that Hu Xiaoxiao has joined, things are different. Hu Xiaoxiao is so popular, she might be able to boost the show's popularity. Moreover, she is really beautiful. Even though she can't act yet, she is so beautiful on camera that it's hard to look away.

With this reason in mind, they might be able to land a daytime slot smoothly.

In the next scene, Chang Sisi comes to her sister Chang An'an and Fang Jin and asks, "Who is he?"

In today's play, Hu Xiaoxiao only has two lines, one of which is: "Big Sister".

The other question is: "Who is he?"

"Action!"

Chang Sisi walked up to Chang An'an, glanced at Fang Jin, and asked, "Who is he?"

"Cut!" the director yelled again.

Hu Xiaoxiao quickly looked towards the camera: Had she made a mistake again? She had just reviewed it in her mind several times.

The director shouted, "Hu Xiaoxiao, squat down, you need to be half a head shorter than Meng Qi."

It turns out that Hu Xiaoxiao is half a head taller than Meng Qi, and when they stand together, the camera angles look awkward.

Following the director's instructions, Hu Xiaoxiao squatted down, only reaching Meng Yi's eyebrow level. On screen, this immediately created a sense of older and younger sisters.

"Action!"

"Who is he?" Chang Sisi asked.

"Hahahaha—" A loud laugh that couldn't be suppressed rang out. Xie Zhiheng had come to watch from the side at some point. Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao squatting with her legs in an odd way while acting, he couldn't suppress his laughter at all.

God knows how long it had been since he laughed so uncontrollably.

The director didn't dare say anything, much less scold him. He recognized him as the famous Mr. Xie from Hong Kong; the nearby real estate development was built by the Xie family. If he angered Mr. Xie and they were prevented from filming here, things would get really bad.

The director had to call a stop, and they only resumed filming after Xie Zhiheng stopped laughing.

"Action!"

"Hahaha—" Xie Zhiheng laughed unrestrainedly again.

After squatting several times, Hu Xiaoxiao's legs ached.

Hu Xiaoxiao stood up straight, rubbed her knees, and walked towards Xie Zhiheng.

Xie Zhiheng took off his sunglasses, wiped away the tears welling up in his eyes, and asked Hu Xiaoxiao, "Are all your scenes this funny? If they're so funny, why don't you laugh?"
