Chapter 17: Gaining Fame

The old man did not take it as an offense, but laughed and said: "You are quite a pragmatic girl. You should eat one bite at a time. No one can become fat in one bite.

I happen to be free and have some time, and since I like you, I'm going to teach you some techniques. Once you learn them, as long as you're not participating in a professional music competition, you can still fool people with the other techniques."

Hu Xiaoxiao liked this uncle and asked, "What's your name, uncle?"

"My last name is Huang, just call me Uncle Huang."

"Uncle Huang, my breath became unstable when I sang this part of the song..." Hu Xiaoxiao asked Uncle Huang about the problems she encountered while practicing singing one by one.

Uncle Huang not only solved Hu Xiaoxiao's doubts, but also taught Hu Xiaoxiao how to handle the details.

As the sun rose, Hu Xiaoxiao realized it was getting late and still had an hour to report to the TV station. He said, "Uncle Huang, thank you so much for teaching me so much. Let's go, I'll treat you to some chicken."

Uncle Huang waved his hand and said, "I don't want to eat anything greasy so early in the morning. I'm going to have some tea at the teahouse later. Some of my old friends should be waiting for me there."

"Won't you feel even hungrier if you drink tea so early in the morning?" Hu Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.

When Mr. Huang heard this, he laughed and asked, "Have you just arrived in Hong Kong?"

"How did Mr. Huang know?"

"How could people in Hong Kong not know the meaning of yum cha? I say yum cha is not just about drinking tea, but about eating tea with breakfast."

"Is the breakfast delicious?" Hu Xiaoxiao had asked at one or two teahouses when he was looking for a job, but he had never been in and had no idea what kind of food they sold.

She had just arrived in Hong Kong and had been very busy, so the food she ate the most was her favorite variety of chicken.

Uncle Huang said, "It's delicious, of course it's delicious. Bigger teahouses have hundreds of dim sum options, such as barbecued pork buns, custard buns, shrimp dumplings, siu mai, and so on.

In addition to dim sum, there are also various types of rice noodle rolls, such as BBQ pork rice noodle rolls, beef rice noodle rolls, and meat and egg rice noodle rolls. There are even more types of porridge, and the preserved egg and lean meat porridge and the champion porridge are my favorites.

For noodles, there are various soup noodles and fried noodles. You can try the beef jerky fried noodles or the wet fried noodles, both are very good.

Hu Xiaoxiao felt hungry after listening to this. If he wasn't afraid of missing the TV station, he would have gone to the teahouse with Uncle Huang to have some tea.

"Will Mr. Huang come over tomorrow? After we finish learning songs, let's go to the teahouse for breakfast."

"Okay, no problem. It'll be more fun with more people setting up the stage and supporting the stage." Uncle Huang sighed, "When people get older, they like things to be more lively. You young people rarely want to talk to us old men and women because you think we're nagging."

Hu Xiaoxiao said with certainty: "I certainly won't despise you for being old."

No matter how old you are, can you be older than this vixen like her?

When Hu Xiaoxiao hurriedly took the bus to the TV station, he found that the atmosphere in the training room was different today.

She was about to go in when someone called her at the door.

Looking over, I saw it was an acquaintance, Charlie, the deputy director of the TV station's production department.

"Ms. Hu, you've been working hard in training recently. Are you used to training here?" Charlie asked kindly.

Hu Xiaoxiao turned around and said with a smile, "I'm used to it. Deputy Director, you're at work so early?"

"Calling me Deputy Director is too formal. Just call me Charlie. I came to the TV station half an hour early today because I have some things to do."

Hu Xiaoxiao readily said, "Then it won't interfere with Charlie's work."

Charlie nodded and said, “If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to my office and find me. I will definitely help you solve it.”

Hu Xiaoxiao thanked Charlie and walked into the training room.

In the training room, Anna, the program director in charge of training matters, saw that everyone was present. She stood on the stage and said to everyone:

"The TV station has a new reform. In order to increase exposure for everyone and make the citizens of Baogang more familiar with the contestants, the top management held a meeting and decided to reform the selection system."

"The original selection competitions were mostly held internally. After the reform, the top management decided to open the selection competitions to the public in order to be more fair and just."

"Every Saturday, the TV station will take out a precious time during prime time to broadcast a talent show by the contestants.

Gold will always shine. I hope all the contestants will not let down the good intentions of the senior management, practice well, compete well, and leave a good impression on the audience.

Dear contestants, keep going for the finals! "

Anna's words made the beauties below very excited.

Everyone who participates in the Miss Hong Kong pageant is aiming to become famous.

Now they can get exposure during the selection period without having to wait for the finals, and their popularity can be quickly increased, which is really an unexpected surprise.

Seeing that all the contestants were excited and expectant, Anna left with satisfaction and handed the training room to the two teachers.

There are still two days until this Saturday, and the contestants don’t have much time left to rehearse.

The two teachers assigned singing as the talent for the contestants and chose a catchy song and a dance with simple movements.

It's too complicated, I'm afraid I won't have enough time.

There were 48 contestants, and it was impossible to give each of them a line of lyrics, so the two teachers renumbered the contestants into 48 numbers.

The 48 people were divided into 6 groups, with 8 people in each group.

Each group sings a verse, and the dance moves and movements are the same.

On this day, none of the contestants left early. They all practiced singing and moving until the TV station staff had all gone home.

The song performed was "The Light Rain in March".

The song is soothing, easy to sing, and catchy. The choreography can also be gentle, using relatively easy movements, making it easy for the contestants to remember and learn.

The song is simple, the dance is simple, but if you want to attract viewership, everything can't be simple.

The program department specially borrowed costumes and props, with cheongsam as the theme, to show off the beauties' good figures.

In addition, the program department gave up the largest stage for the beauties to perform.

The contestants practiced until Saturday morning. After two teachers checked them, they decided to start recording in the afternoon, just in time for the evening broadcast on TV to regain viewership.

In order to increase the evening ratings, the TV station built momentum two days in advance to raise the audience's expectations.

The music gradually sounded, and the smoke created by dry ice on the stage curled up, making the stage look like the misty rain in March in the south of the Yangtze River.

The camera was pointed at the stage, where a group of graceful women in cheongsams and holding paper umbrellas were walking gracefully from the left.

I couldn't see the beauty's face clearly, but her hazy figure added a touch of charm to her.

Then, the camera turned to eight beauties, each with their own unique beauty, and they began to sing:

"The drizzle in March is falling.

It's raining non-stop."

At this time, a row of eight beauties on the right also emerged from the smoke with graceful manners, holding paper umbrellas.

"The brook in the valley gurgles,

It keeps flowing.”
