Chapter 168 Gossip Headlines
Hu Xiaoxiao put all his energy into "Mu Guiying Takes Command", and not only the plot but also the martial arts had to be better than the previous one.
If it becomes a hit once, some people will say she got lucky and just took advantage of the situation. But if the sequel becomes another hit, then her position in the TV station will be truly solidified.
Hu Xiaoxiao applied unprecedented care to this production, closely monitoring not only the performances but also the management. Fortunately, the cast of "Mu Guiying Takes Command" remained the same, with the entire cast, especially the female generals of the Yang Clan, remaining from "Mu Guiying." With their previous collaboration experience, everyone had a strong rapport and worked together with unwavering dedication.
After the success of "Mu Guiying," the previously unknown actors in the series also became either a minor star or became well-known to the audience, leaving behind a positive reputation. Having sat on the sidelines for so long, they cherish this invaluable opportunity more than anyone else.
Therefore, since the filming of "Mu Guiying Takes Command" started, everyone has worked very hard, often asking for retakes on their own initiative in order to preserve the best shots, and contributing their best acting skills and the most sweat in their lives to this drama.
After the filming of the drama was completed, Hu Xiaoxiao went to the program department and communicated with them in advance about the publicity so as to leave enough time to arrange the promotion of "Mu Guiying Takes Command".
"Fei!" Hu Xiaoxiao walked into the program department and saw that the staff member walking in front of him with a thick pile of documents was Fei, so he called her.
Fei Yi lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and did not hear Hu Xiaoxiao calling her.
"Xiaoxiao, long time no see. Come in and have a seat and a cup of tea when you have time." Anna came out of the office and greeted Hu Xiaoxiao when she saw him.
"I just happened to want to discuss something with you." Hu Xiaoxiao glanced at the manager's badge above Anna's office and said with a smile, "Congratulations on your promotion to manager. Did you treat me to a meal?"
After Anna invited Hu Xiaoxiao in, she poured him a cup of tea and said, "It happened last year. We invited the entire department at that time. I'm not familiar with you, so I was afraid you wouldn't appreciate it, so I felt embarrassed to ask you to come over."
"How could we not be familiar with each other? I was able to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant thanks to your care, and I will always remember this kindness. Let's put it this way, let's forget about missing last year's dinner, but I must treat you to dinner tonight."
"Oh, you're so rich!" Anna joked, "You're sharp! You've been so successful lately, you're on par with the big boys and big girls now! If you treat me to a meal, you have to treat me to a big meal."
Hu Xiaoxiao said generously: "No problem, you decide the location, just eat me out of money."
"Then I won't be polite. I'll order whatever is expensive." Anna asked Hu Xiaoxiao the purpose of coming to the program department today.
"'Mu Guiying Takes Command' is in post-production and we've also started preparing for publicity. Please take care of me when I appear on the show."
"It's a small matter. A-Zhan has already informed me that the company attaches great importance to the drama "Mu Guiying Takes Command" and asked us to cooperate with you in promoting it as much as possible."
Hu Xiaoxiao discussed the new promotional methods that the crew had come up with with Anna, hoping to get support from the program department.
The new promotional campaign indicated that changes would be made to the program department's original program. Anna frowned, as this would create a lot of extra work for the program team.
Hu Xiaoxiao came prepared and discussed the matter with Anna patiently.
Anna stood on the side of the program department and was in a stalemate with Hu Xiaoxiao for a long time. Finally, she won a lot of benefits for the program department and agreed to Hu Xiaoxiao's proposal.
After the two of them reached an agreement, it was almost time to get off work, so Hu Xiaoxiao directly invited Anna to a big meal.
In addition to discussing promotional matters with the program department, Hu Xiaoxiao is also responsible for other trivial matters, so he often works overtime until late at night before going home.
Last time she had Awei helping her she didn't feel too busy, but this time Charlie was busy and Awei couldn't take care of both, so she handed everything back to Hu Xiaoxiao to handle, which made her very anxious.
Hu Xiaoxiao swore that he would never make a play by himself next time. It was too hard and tiring, and the money was not much.
Hu Xiaoxiao felt that it was not worth it to have no money and be exhausted just for a nice name.
It’s still more comfortable to shoot a movie. You don’t have to worry about anything after shooting.
And she desperately needs a helper. As her status gets higher, the more things she has to deal with, and doing everything herself is too tiring and doesn't fit in with her original intention of enjoying life.
However, it was difficult to find a capable and compatible assistant. This person had to have a wide network of contacts, be familiar with the TV and film circles, and have similar ideas and good character. Otherwise, how could she trust him to take care of all the affairs?
Hu Xiaoxiao looked for a while, but either they were not compatible or they were not capable enough and not to her liking.
As for signing with a film company? When Mingxu signed with Jincan, he showed her the contract and found it to be extremely restrictive, only slightly better than a TV station manager's contract. This might also be because Mingxu was new to the film industry and had no background.
Hu Xiaoxiao drove out of the parking lot, turned a corner and headed towards the avenue.
It was late at night and there were not many cars on the road. Hu Xiaoxiao saw a man standing under the street light in front of him, anxiously waiting for a car.
Hu Xiaoxiao was just feeling that the man looked familiar when he saw Hu Xiaoxiao's car, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he quickly waved.
"Xiaoxiao, can you give me a ride?"
As soon as Hu Xiaoxiao's car stopped, Chang Wanming ran over and asked.
Hu Xiaoxiao recognized Chang Wanming, a classmate from her training class, and asked, "Why haven't you gone home yet so late?"
"I have a night scene and just finished filming. I've been waiting for a car for a long time but there's no sign of it. Xiaoxiao, please help me. My grandfather is the only one at home and he has difficulty walking. I'm afraid something might happen to him." Chang Wanming said apologetically.
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the road. There were few private cars, let alone taxis. It was drizzling, so he said, "Get in the car. Where do you live?"
After getting in the car, Chang Wanming gave his home address.
"Is your grandfather the only one at home? If you're filming, won't he be able to take care of you?"
"Normally my parents can take care of me, but they've been out fishing in the open sea these past few days, so they won't be back for a few days."
"Are you from a fisherman family?"
"My grandfather, parents are fishermen and make a living by fishing, but my generation changed their career." Chang Wanming is very talkative. He talked about the hard work of fishermen and their low income. He also told many interesting stories about fishing. Before we knew it, we arrived near his home.
Chang Wanming thanked Hu Xiaoxiao again and again and said that he would give Hu Xiaoxiao some seafood as a thank you.
Hu Xiaoxiao waved his hand and said, "I can't cook, so it's no use for you to give it to me."
Hu Xiaoxiao gave Chang Wanming a ride and didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect to be photographed by paparazzi and made the headlines of gossip.
The news reported her relationship with Chang Wanming with certainty, and included a photo of Chang Wanming getting into her car.
