Chapter 233: Sister Hong Kong's Semi-Finals

On May 25, the annual Miss Hong Kong semi-finals officially kicked off.

The annual Miss Hong Kong election has become a major event in Hong Kong.

In the summer, in addition to the promotional videos broadcast on TV stations, there are also magazine posters on newsstands, and ordinary citizens chatting over morning tea, all of which revolve around "Miss Hong Kong".

In order to adapt to the meaning of the year, this year's beauty pageant theme is called "Eighty-Five Wisdom", which is also the same as last year's set up projects, in addition to the champion, runner-up and third runner-up, there are also "Miss Photogenic", "Miss Friendship", and "Miss Youth" awards.

Since 1984, the selection of Miss Hong Kong has begun to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has entered a heyday. Hong Kong people accept Miss Hong Kong as a representative of Hong Kong women's beauty, and the judges no longer shy away from paying attention to the appearance of the contestants.

During this period, there are a large number of beauties who sign up for the election, and there is no shortage of high-quality people, and it is relatively easy to appear beautiful women who are in high demand. The elected ones often become famous overnight, realizing the fairy tale of Cinderella, and the losers also organically enter the entertainment industry and start a colorful life. Some are short-lived, nowhere to be found, leaving an infinite feeling.

In the past, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was based on both wisdom and beauty, so that the contestants with the most voices often fell behind in the rankings - the same outstanding in education, conversation, and performance, and the judges would always choose to give high scores to women with slightly worse appearance in order to avoid suspicion or other reasons, and the most beautiful one was suppressed.

But this year is different, judging from the promotional content of wireless, we know that this year's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has no scruples about "judging people by their appearance", and has put aside the "equal emphasis on beauty and wisdom" that has been emphasized.

This is also why later generations said that 1985 was the embodiment of Sister Hong Kong's entry into a prosperous period, because from this year onwards, Sister Hong Kong made a new round of attempts on the road of real beauty pageants.

TVB's senior management will consider this, obviously because Qiu Degen has already passed the bid to host the Asian sister's event, which makes many people at TVB have a sense of urgency.

Sister Hong Kong's dominance of the Hong Kong beauty pageant will be broken by ATV from this year, and wireless will naturally crush the other party, making it difficult for the other party to find a breakthrough.

In terms of inviting guests and judges, Shao Yifu is full of connections and heritage. In the semi-finals and finals of the Miss Hong Kong contest every year, he can invite a group of celebrities as guests, as well as celebrities in the fashion, entertainment, and cultural circles to be judges, without even having to come forward himself.

In this year's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant finals, Shao Yifu even invited the gambling king Ho Hongshen to be the emcee of the finals, Ho Hongshen's influence is wide in Macau and Hong Kong, and his qualifications are hard enough compared to Xu Ziming.

Xu Ziming is also the master of ceremonies for the finals, and he is a guest in the semi-finals.

The emcee of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant semi-finals, in addition to Zhou Yanfa, there are also He Shouxin, Yang Qun, and another director who is famous for making martial arts films in the seventies, Chu Yuan.

Xu Ziming had no contact with Chu Yuan, but in his previous life, he had more or less watched a lot of martial arts movies shot by Chu Yuan for the Shaw Brothers.

What makes Xu Ziming most curious is that Pan Desheng, who was plagued by scandals not long ago, was also brought in as a judge to join in the fun.

Today's judges, except for Pan Disheng, the other Xu Ziming are meeting for the first time.

After a little greeting, Xu Ziming ran to the guest seat and sat down, and the funny thing was that the seat he was assigned was a position behind Pan Desheng.

Before the semi-finals officially began, Pan Disheng turned his head and chatted with Xu Ziming behind him: "Mr. Xu is also interested in the Miss Hong Kong election competition?"

Xu Ziming asked rhetorically: "How can Mr. Pan take time out of his busy time to serve as a judge, your watch career is getting bigger and bigger, and you should have less free time." There is also Miss Yang Ziqiong's matter, what are your plans? ”

Pan Desheng was a little helpless, and spread his hands and said: "Hey, don't say it, being a judge is purely to avoid the limelight." ”

Pan Disheng didn't bring anyone this time, the relationship with Michelle Yang has been getting more and more noisy by the media recently, and the relationship between him and Yang Minyu is also very stiff, and there is a big sense of breaking up between the two.

However, Yang Minyu was very generous and decent, and did not say anything ugly in front of the media.

Pan Disheng suddenly changed the subject and said: "Kowloon Bus is a little uneven, Sun Hung Kai has recently acquired idle stocks behind the scenes, and a few days ago, he also sent someone to talk to me, ready to buy my shares at a high price. ”

When Xu Ziming heard about the acquisition, Guan Du didn't mention it recently, and he felt a little uncomfortable, and said curiously: "You are the second largest shareholder of Kowloon Bus, won't you really transfer all the equity in your hand at a high price?"

Pan Disheng suddenly became a little excited, and said idly: "At the beginning, we joined forces to acquire Sun Hung Kai, but now he has come to buy it, which is really ridiculous." ”

"It's ridiculous indeed. Xu Ziming's smile retracted, and then he said seriously: "Sun Hung Kai's Kwok Desheng is playing tricks in private, which really makes me feel a little disgusting, and he wants to replace the seat of the major shareholder of Kowloon Motor Bus." ”

The current Kowloon Bus has the highest shareholding of Xu Ziming, about 26% of the equity, while Pan Disheng's is 16%, as for the original Lei Juekun's shares are ranked third, with more than 14 percent, but with Lei Juekun's temperament and temper, it should not be sold.

Pan Dee Sing complained a lot and had a quarrel with Yang Min, which meant that Pan Dee Sing lost the support of the Yang family, and now that he was in charge of clocks and movies, Kowloon Bus did not have enough financial resources to bless him.

While the two were talking, the stage of the theater suddenly turned on with lights, and several host emcees walked behind the hosting stage. Then the lights suddenly dimmed, and only two bright lights shot backstage, pulling the beauty pageants out of the stage.

Pan Youlian, Wang Ailun, Liu Shuhua, Xie Ning, Luo Jinru and others are dressed refreshingly, although it is only the semi-finals, but in terms of dress, there have been a lot of improvements compared to the previous Hong Kong sister election, which is refreshing.

After the host introduced the beauties, it was followed by a Q&A session.

The first few beauties answered decently, and when it was Wang Ailun's turn, the five judges were quite interested in her.

Why is there a lot of interest, because Ellen Wang's dress is not only eye-catching, but also when she participated, she was accused of resembling Chen Xiuzhu, who was a candidate for Miss Hong Kong in 79.

In addition, Wang Ailun herself is also very similar to the 1984 champion Gao Lihong.

After Ellen Wang answered the scheduled questions, Pan Disheng asked improvisedly: "Miss Wang, why do you think you participated in the beauty pageant?"

Wang replied: "I want to use the election stage to show the best side of myself. ”

Yishu, a famous female writer and Ni Kuang's sister, asked: "There are many ways to show yourself, why do you have to choose a beauty event?" ”

"Because the beauty pageant provided by the radio station is currently more objective and fair, and at the same time, it is also very influential, and it can better realize its own needs. Wang Ellen replied by praising the radio station in disguise.

Zhang Dezhi, vice president of Merry Advertising Company, took the lead in applauding, and stretched out his thumb to Wang Ellen and said, "Miss Wang, your answer is great!"

When it was the turn of the 20th beautie, Xu Ziming suddenly became interesting.

This No. 20 beauty is a person Xu Ziming is well known in later generations, Zhou Haimei.

No. 20 Zhou Haimei was wearing a green swimsuit, her curly hair was good-looking, and when Kan Kan came over, her face was red, and her slight smile showed her purity.

The gentleman Chu Yuan, who was wearing a suit, bowed and said, "Hello, Miss Zhou." How do you treat guests at the beach?"

Zhou Haimei carefully picked up the envelope in the transparent glass box and handed it to Chu Yuan, and said shyly, "Thank you." ”

Chu Yuan smiled slightly, untied the envelope and asked: "This question is, if you want to direct and shoot a love movie, who do you think is the best actor in your mind?"

Zhou Haimei snorted and said, "I think the most suitable candidates in my heart are my parents." ”

Chu Yuan was stunned by the other party's answer, and the guests and many judges present felt incredible.

Chu Yuan asked, "Miss Zhou, can you give an explanation?" ”

Zhou Haimei had curly hair and smiled very cutely. With this shy expression and slightly pursed mouth, even the host Chu Yuan couldn't help but want to take a few more looks.

Zhou Haimei carefully explained: "The most suitable person, the key is to know the other party, understand the other party, only very well and clearly can make the right judgment." My parents are very affectionate, even if the relationship between the two has been tempered for a long time, but it is still very strong, I have been by their side for almost 20 years, and I have witnessed 20 years, if I am a director, I will choose my parents. ”

Chu Yuan didn't ask any more, Xu Ziming felt that Zhou Haimei's answer was indeed very reasonable, and the most suitable protagonist must first know himself.

But in fact, the judges' perspective will think that this explanation is too far-fetched, and many judges' answers prefer the other party to pick a popular movie star, just like Pan Disheng, who said: "Although this girl's words are pertinent, compared to other beauties, there are still some shortcomings." ”

PS: Recently, things have started to add more, and I was supposed to release it in the afternoon, but I sent it in advance. Starting this afternoon, there will be a lot of things in the next few days, and the key is that the manuscript has gradually dried up and is difficult to do.
