Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Hu Xiaoxiao immediately stood up, "Okay!"

She had originally planned that if they refused to teach her, she would learn by herself.

Hu Xiaoxiao took a sword and looked at Mingxu with bright eyes.

Mingxu found it amusing, casually wiped his sweat, and taught Hu Xiaoxiao the moves he had learned. He thought that Hu Xiaoxiao had no foundation and would find it difficult to learn.

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoxiao picked it up very quickly and understood it immediately.

"Xiaoxiao, you've studied this before?" Mingxu asked in surprise.

“When I was competing for Miss Hong Kong, I learned a little bit of fan techniques by watching videotapes while I was teaching myself how to use a fan.”

Mingxu was even more surprised. "I watched the show on the day of the finals. I thought you had specially found a master to learn fan techniques. You looked so professional. You actually taught yourself? You were able to reach this level by following the videotape. I think you are the kind of martial arts prodigy that is portrayed on TV."

Hu Xiaoxiao was delighted to have fooled even the experts, and said with a smile, "It's quite difficult at first, but if you study for a few more days and think about it for a while, you'll gradually learn it. Besides, the performance time is very short, so you don't need to learn too much; just choose a few flashy moves to perform."

However, this surprised Mingxu. Hu Xiaoxiao, who could have easily won by virtue of her beauty, was actually working so hard behind the scenes. After teaching Hu Xiaoxiao a sword technique, he saw that she was learning very diligently and did not complain about the hardship or fatigue at all, which made him even more impressed.

As a result, Mingxu taught even more diligently.

Since his debut, Mingxu has acted in many martial arts dramas, accumulating rich experience in martial arts and mastering a wide variety of styles. When he has nothing else to do, he'll casually teach Hu Xiaoxiao whatever she wants to learn.

Because Hu Xiaoxiao learns so quickly and has a solid foundation, her moves are incredibly powerful. Coupled with her quick comprehension and ability to combine strength and flexibility, her movements are fluid and graceful, making them highly aesthetically pleasing and entertaining to watch.

The martial arts instructor initially just watched coldly from the sidelines, but after a few days he changed his opinion of Hu Xiaoxiao. He said to Hu Xiaoxiao, "Your swordsmanship is both deadly and aesthetically pleasing, making you very suitable for a career in martial arts."

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "That's what I think too. Teacher, please invite me to your training sessions next time."

"As long as you're not afraid of getting tired, just come. I'll teach one person, and I'll teach two people, it's still teaching," the martial arts instructor said.

With martial arts instruction, Hu Xiaoxiao came even more frequently, practicing even more diligently than the male lead, Mingxu. Her execution of the Bodhidharma swordplay was even more impressive than Mingxu's.

Before filming began, in addition to training, there were also makeup tests and costume fittings.

Hu Xiaoxiao received a notification that her styling design was ready and she could go for a makeup trial.

Mingxu, who is the male and female lead, also tried on makeup with Hu Xiaoxiao. In addition to individual makeup trials, they also had to try on makeup together to see the effect of the combination.

In preparation for today's makeup trial, Hu Xiaoxiao straightened her hair in advance, resulting in long, shiny black hair. The makeup artist styled her hair so that she didn't even need to wear a wig.

The hairstylist finished Hu Xiaoxiao's first hairstyle and was about to take photos when they suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Hu Xiaoxiao faintly heard Charlie's furious voice and hurried over.

In the training room, Charlie and Linda were arguing, while Yuna, who was practicing with a sword nearby, was extremely anxious.

"Linda, what exactly do you mean? Filming is about to start in a few days, and you're causing trouble again. Are you doing this on purpose? You did this to me last time, and now you're doing it again. Do you think I don't have a temper?" Charlie stood in front of Yuna and questioned Linda.

Compared to Charlie's anger, Linda seemed much calmer. She crossed her arms and sneered, "It's ridiculous. You have so many actresses under your management, yet you insist on stealing my people, and you still have the nerve to accuse me of messing with you. If I really wanted to mess with you, wouldn't it have been better to wait until you started filming before demanding her back?"

"If I had people under me, would I need to be mindful of your feelings?" Charlie said. "Yona's acting is good, and her image is suitable. Only she can play the role in this drama well."

Linda looked at her with a curious expression and asked several questions in a row: "Does your drama need actresses with acting skills? Don't you always like to use pretty faces? Don't you sign one or two pretty faces every year? Just let your own pretty faces do the work, why bother finding outside help? It's unnecessary!"

"Don't cause trouble here. My dramas have produced so many distinctive and well-regarded actresses. Are you blind?"

"Since we have so many talented and reputable actresses, why are you trying to poach them from me?" Linda looked at Yuna and ordered, "This drama isn't suitable for you. You're coming with me right now."

"Whether it's suitable or not is up to Yuna to decide," Charlie said firmly.

Linda was more assertive than him, putting the pressure directly on Yuna, "I already warned you last time, and you've come again. Do you not take my words seriously?"

Yuna quickly explained, "Sister Linda, listen to me. I've had some free time lately, no acting roles. I figured we're all colleagues from the same company, and we don't have any deep-seated grudges, so there's no need to be so calculating. I'll help if I can. The role of Zhou Bijun has a lot of added scenes, which can broaden my acting range..."

"Shut up!" Linda gave Yuna an ultimatum. "My patience has its limits, and I will never tolerate anyone again and again. This is the last time I'm warning you. If you insist on filming this movie, you'll have to fend for yourself from now on!"

After saying that, Linda turned and left the training room.

Yuna panicked, knowing that Linda was truly angry. If she couldn't quell Linda's anger, she would be completely abandoned by Linda.

Having followed Linda for so many years, Yuna knows how resolute Linda can be once she makes a decision.

Yuna had no choice but to say to Charlie, "I'll go and try to persuade Linda first."

Yuna dropped the sword and hurriedly followed.

Enraged, Charlie kicked his sword far away and yelled at Linda's retreating figure, "She's a complete lunatic! Unreasonable! Working with you is the worst thing ever!"

Yuna chased after Linda to her office, trying to persuade her, "Sister Linda, I know that my participation in the film will make you angry, but please let me explain."

Linda sat in her office chair, arms crossed, staring coldly at Yuna.

Yuna smiled bitterly, meeting Linda's oppressive gaze, and said, "Sister Linda, I'm not an ungrateful person, and I didn't mean to disobey your orders repeatedly, but you know that I was brought into the TV station by Charlie. If it weren't for Charlie's kindness, I would still be selling fish balls on the street now, and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter the TV station and become an artist."

I also know that it was Linda's guidance that brought me to where I am today after joining the television station, and I am very grateful to you. You and Charlie are both benefactors in my life, especially Linda, who has painstakingly nurtured me over the years; I will always remember that.

Both of them were her benefactors. Yuna was caught in the middle, unable to please either of them, and was in great pain.
