Reborn in the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 1980s

Awei was hurt because he only got a raise but not a performance bonus.

He perked up, sat up straight, and discussed with Hu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, look how hard I've been helping you with these chores, how about you talk to the company and ask them to give me some extra performance points?"

“It’s such a small matter, you can just tell Charlie.”

Hu Xiaoxiao picked up the pen and signed the contract very readily.

I felt so happy, it's great, I've made some money again.

Ah Wei wasn't in such a good mood. "It's not easy for Charlie to get a raise. Sigh, the company is really stingy..."

Human joys and sorrows are not shared. Hu Xiaoxiao happily said goodbye to Awei and left the office.

She was in a great mood the whole way. She did the math and realized that she had already secured two brand ambassadorships. If you include the brand ambassadorships with other companies, she would have earned quite a bit from advertising.

Hu Xiaoxiao felt that she had found the motivation to work hard again.

By this time, thousands of lights had already illuminated the area outside the television station.

During the rush hour after get off work, there was a shortage of taxis, and Hu Xiaoxiao waited for a long time but couldn't flag one down.

When she saw Lu Xinghe's car drive out of the garage, she was about to wave him to give her a ride when she noticed that there was someone sitting in the passenger seat.

By the light, I recognized the person as Meng Qi.

Watching the car drive away, Hu Xiaoxiao decided that once the endorsement fee arrived, she would also buy a car.

After a good night's sleep, when Hu Xiaoxiao received the newspaper and magazine the next day, she indeed found the news about the advertisement from the previous day.

However, these news reports were not serious news; none of them gave a positive report on the TV series "The Grandmaster." They were all sensational headlines.

The content of the TV series "The Grandmaster" was only mentioned briefly in a very small print in the main text.

The most eye-catching and prominent parts, taking up the largest portion of the page, are the various headlines—

Former Miss Hong Kong, Hung Chau-yin, shows signs of aging.

The accompanying photos were all candid shots of Hong Qiuyan at her worst, taken from extremely unflattering angles. One can only imagine how furious Hong Qiuyan would be upon seeing this report.

Mingxu and Hu Xiaoxiao were caught flirting.

Those unaware of the situation might have thought she'd been caught cheating on her husband. But when Hu Xiaoxiao scrolled to the main text, she discovered it was a photo of her and Mingxu sparring with swords on stage.

Hu Xiaoxiao punches Hong Qiuyan

This title is even more outrageous.

Hu Xiaoxiao unfolded the newspaper and saw that it turned out that she had performed a few boxing moves on stage, and the camera had mistakenly captured her fist touching Hong Qiuyan's face.

In reality, Hong Qiuyan was several steps away from her, but due to the misalignment, it looked as if she had actually been slapped in the face.

Hu Xiaoxiao said these headlines were outrageous, but also quite useful. At least when people who bought the newspapers and magazines saw the article, they would know that "The Grandmaster" was going to be broadcast, and that the main characters were her and Mingxu.

This can be considered another form of promotion.

Next, Hu Xiaoxiao continued to promote "The Grandmaster".

The first two days were quite busy, constantly moving between venues for promotions. After getting through the first two days, things became much easier, mostly involving appearing on TV shows for promotions, without having to go to outdoor venues.

Soon after, "The Grandmaster" premiered.

That evening, Hu Xiaoxiao sat in front of the television early, before the commercial break.

The first commercial that happened to be broadcast was a shampoo commercial she filmed for Pan Rou, a repair shampoo with a deep conditioning effect.

The advertisement begins with a girl struggling with split ends and dryness, unsure of what to do.

Then Hu Xiaoxiao appeared with long, shiny black wavy hair. Her entrance was marked by her long, beautiful, and lustrous hair, which swung in a graceful arc.

"Your hair is dry, dull, and tangled from too much perming? No problem!" Hu Xiaoxiao took out a Panrou shampoo. "Panrou's new deep conditioning repair shampoo is specially designed to solve the problems after perming your hair, solving your worries and making your hair worry-free."

The advertisement ends with Hu Xiaoxiao singing and dancing on the Miss Hong Kong stage, showcasing the beauty of her hair from various angles.

Hu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, cracking sunflower seeds and admiring her own advertisement.

The screen shifts, and "The Grandmaster" begins.

Hu Xiaoxiao put down her sunflower seeds, took out her notebook and pen, and watched her performance in the play as an observer, trying to find shortcomings. She also wondered if she could have performed it better if she had re-enacted it.

In order to express the character of Lan Xinya in the drama, the character is dressed in white, and when she moves, the skirt has a kind of ethereal and graceful movement.

Her long hair was styled in an exquisite way and adorned with beautiful hair flowers. She walked slowly and gracefully, like an ancient lady who had stepped out of a painting.

Hu Xiaoxiao's ancient costume demeanor is excellent—because she actually lived in ancient times, and when she came to the human world, everything was new and exciting to her, and she learned everything she saw. Therefore, her behavior and mannerisms were all learned from noble ladies of ancient times.

Coupled with her outstanding appearance, Lan Xinya appeared on television as a beautiful fairy who was untouched by worldly affairs, exuding a refined and otherworldly charm.

Hu Xiaoxiao kept writing with her pen in hand. In "The Grandmaster", there are many veteran actors and seasoned performers whose performances are very worthy of study.

Hu Xiaoxiao is constantly absorbing knowledge.

Before Hu Xiaoxiao knew how well "The Grandmaster" would perform, two printing factories came to the TV station to buy the costume photos for the show.

It turns out that after "The Grandmaster" aired, groups of students went to various small shops to buy posters of Ren Shaohua and Lan Xinya.

The shop owner placed an order with a printing factory, which then purchased resources from the TV station, buying the promotional photos for "The Grandmaster" and turning them into posters.

Some creative printing factories, in addition to making posters, also plan to make stickers, especially stickers featuring the character Lan Xinya, who is beautiful and gentle in her flowing white clothes, and is very popular among students.

The TV station was pleasantly surprised to receive the money, even though it wasn't much, because it showed that "The Grandmaster" had the potential to be a huge hit. Moreover, the student market is enormous.

Upon hearing the news, Charlie sighed to Awei, "I thought I had seen through Hu Xiaoxiao and thought highly of him, but he still surprised me."

The fact that Quanfu Jewelry became their spokesperson shocked the entire company.

Quanfu Jewelry used to be very arrogant; even the top male and female TV stars on TV might not be able to get its endorsement. Now, it has actually lowered its standards and given it to a newcomer.

Charlie thought Quanfu Jewelry had made a mistake, but then he saw even the printing factory coming to deliver money—

The movie "The Grandmaster" has only just started airing, and the God of Wealth has already begun to send money to viewers.

"I originally thought that Quanfu Jewelry's endorsement fee was overpaid, but now it seems that the marketing department quoted too low a price."

"After Lu Sheng learned about this, he ordered the marketing department to work overtime and send out all their personnel to conduct research in order to assess Hu Xiaoxiao's true commercial value," Awei said.
