Chapter 310: Beauty Pageant
The alarm clock next to the bed kept ringing, Xu Ziming turned over and turned off the alarm clock, leaned over and kissed Li Zhi on the forehead, before putting on his clothes and walking out of the bedroom.
As soon as Xu Ziming left the room, Lizhi, who was pretending to be asleep, also opened her eyes, and she was stunned on the bed for a while before she was ready to get up, dress and wash.
After washing, Li Zhi sat directly at the table, picked up the newspaper on the table, and began to read the registration promotion of Miss Asia.
After watching it for about ten minutes, when she finally made up her mind to participate in the Asian sister beauty pageant, Xu Ziming happened to come in with the breakfast she had just bought in her hand.
"What are you looking at?" Xu Ziming put a breakfast on the glass table in the living room, then took out a cup of soy milk and carefully placed it on the table where Lizhi was reading the newspaper.
"Miss Asia pageant registration contest. Li Zhi also raised her head in response, just looking at the newspaper.
As soon as Xu Ziming heard that it was the Miss Asia competition, he immediately remembered the things in the original time and space, in the original time and space, Li Zhi also participated in the Miss Asia beauty pageant in 86 years, that is, this year, and won the championship of the Miss Asia competition in one fell swoop.
With Xu Ziming's current status, Xu Ziming doesn't want his women to participate in any beauty pageant at all, of course he said: "The beauty pageant should be lively, what do you want to do next." ”
Lizhi shook her head and refused, "I want to participate in this year's Miss Asia beauty pageant." ”
Xu Ziming was puzzled: "Do you really want to participate?"
Lizhi said with a firm face: "Yes, I want to participate." I don't want you to meddle in my business, though. ”
Lizhi's idea at the moment is very simple, she wants to fight with Lin Qingxia, first of all, she must be well-known, and her strength must not be weaker than the other party.
If you can rely on Sister Ya to win the championship and raise your popularity, it is much stronger than relying on Xu Ziming to improve your popularity.
Lizhi is also a relatively conservative person, and she doesn't want others to give her any unpleasant titles, so she hopes to climb up by her own ability first.
Xu Ziming didn't want to agree with the other party's decision, but he didn't want to touch Lizhi's mold, so he said according to the other party's wishes: "Okay, I fully support you." ”
Xu Ziming didn't have any other bad thoughts in his heart at the moment, he really supported Lizhi to participate in the competition.
In this year's Miss Hong Kong election and Sister Ya election, Shao Yifu and Qiu Degen both sent invitations to Xu Ziming, hoping that Xu Ziming could serve as a judge.
Xu Ziming is now a big figure in the entertainment industry, whether it is the election of Sister Hong Kong or the election of Sister Asia, if Xu Ziming can be invited as a judge, this competition will attract the attention of the audience, and the popularity will be unprecedented.
However, before, Xu Ziming politely rejected the reasons of the two on the grounds that he was busy with affairs.
Now that Lizhi is going to participate in the election of Sister Asia, Xu Ziming has to slap his face and accept Qiu Degen's request to serve as a judge of Miss Asia, and the Miss Asia beauty pageant with his own blessing will be more popular.
After chatting with Li Zhi about some things, Xu Ziming left for the company and personally called Qiu Degen of Asia TV to say that he accepted the judges' request.
However, what Xu Ziming never dreamed of was that the decision he made today would dig a big hole for him in the future.
On the other hand, Asia Television, after learning that Xu Ziming agreed to accept the invitation to be a judge, acted
Chairman Qiu Degen was rarely excited.
The radio station's Miss Hong Kong election last year completely overshadowed the limelight of Miss Asia, and this year's Miss Asia beauty pageant, if it can have the support of Xu Ziming, the popularity will definitely not lose to TVB.
Why do you say this, because half of the Hong Kong film industry is basically owned by Xu Ziming. Xu Ziming is also involved in a wide range of businesses, including the transportation bus industry, as well as the pager communication industry, and his family's China Construction Enterprise is involved in real estate, hotels, and other construction industries.
Xu Ziming is willing to participate as a judge, which provides many conveniences for the Miss Asia competition.
On the basis of Xu Ziming as a judge, Qiu Degen thought carefully and invited several of the four famous Hong Kong talents to serve as judges.
Considering last year's beauty pageant, Qiu Degen's Miss Asia beauty pageant was also very crushed by Sister Hong Kong in the first year of the event, so this time he planned to move the final to Queen's Square, and then make a big fuss about the prizes, using garden houses as prizes to attract the attention of the audience.
Qiu Degen really wanted to win his old friend Shao Yifu, and was determined to make this Miss Asia beauty pageant completely beautiful.
In order to steal the limelight from Miss Hong Kong, Qiu Degen waved his hand and began to throw money again, directly increasing the prize of the beauty pageant winner from 800,000 to 1 million, which is of course not a pure bonus, but includes garden houses, cars and other items, with a total value of less than 1 million.
However, in Hong Kong now, 800,000 yuan is already a huge amount of wealth for ordinary Hong Kong people, and no one will not be moved.
Sure enough, in the past few days after the registration of Miss Hong Kong ended, the Miss Asia held by Asia TV officially started the first day of registration, and was favored by a lot of beauties, and with the news of the increase in the amount of Miss Asia's follow-up prizes, the Miss Asia beauty contest once again aroused heated discussions among the public.
The three-story garden house plus a car and a cash prize of 200,000 yuan are enough to make ordinary people crazy with a total prize value of 1 million.
Relatively speaking, the total value of the prize of the Miss Hong Kong champion is only 300,000 yuan, which is a bit childish compared to Miss Asia.
............
"Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant does not have many tricks this year, I am afraid that it will be inferior to the Miss Asia competition"
"Miss Asia Beauty Pageant Rich Gifts, Everyone is Crazy"
"Miss Asia Registers Rare and Stunning Beauties, Many Beauties"
"Xu Ziming was invited to agree to participate in the Miss Asia beauty pageant, and the election of Miss Asia is unprecedented"
On the road to TVB, Fang Yihua said with a sigh of anger in his heart: "This Qiu Degen is crazy! The reward for the champion alone is 1 million, plus the prizes for the second and third runners-up, a full 1.8 million will be scattered!"
"The prize is only a small part, and the most important thing is the future development. In our Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, the champion can represent Hong Kong in the Miss Universe pageant, and Miss Asia can't compare in this regard. Shao Yifu said in a calm tone, he didn't care about this, but was a little annoyed that Xu Ziming didn't even help his own radio station, but went to be a judge of Asia TV.
After all, Xu Ziming is also a shareholder of the radio station, and instead of helping his own people, he went to help outsiders.
"Question
The prizes of the Miss Asia champion are worth 1 million, which is already more than twice that of the Miss Hong Kong champion, so won't it be compared to that side?" Fang Yihua was faintly worried.
She immediately proposed: "Next year, the prize money of Miss Hong Kong's beauty pageant should also be increased, otherwise beautiful girls will rush to participate in Miss Asia, and our Sister Hong Kong will suffer when we sign up." ”
"It's too early, I'll talk about it later. Shao Yifu said noncommittally.
TVB now has an annual profit of tens of millions, but excluding various expenses, the real net profit is only a few million, Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua are trying to reduce costs, if in order to deliberately raise the prize of Sister Hong Kong's award, and do not care about profits, this is very unwise behavior.
Shao Yifu knew that the other party was worried, so he immediately gave Fang Yihua a more reassuring sentence: "The Miss Hong Kong champion can marry into a wealthy family like the Huo family, and Miss Asia has no precedent for this." They are still far inferior to us in this regard, and most of the very famous actresses in the Hong Kong film industry now debuted through Sister Hong Kong. ”
The reason why Sister Hong Kong can become a national event and a competition that women flock to, in addition to the high prizes, there are other bigger reasons, that is, the top three can directly sign a wireless, and the other rankings also have the opportunity to sign a wireless, and then they can develop in the entertainment industry, and the top three, especially the champions, will also be highly praised by wireless.
Compared with winning awards, being able to enter the entertainment industry and have the opportunity to be a star is a career, a long-term meal ticket that may have food, and this is what those beauties who are running for Miss Hong Kong yearn for more.
Of course, what these girls yearn for the most is to join a wealthy family as a broad wife like their predecessors, the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Zhu Lingling. Even if you can't marry a particularly wealthy family, it's not bad to marry a wealthy businessman.
It can be said that for so many years, Sister Hong Kong has developed into the entertainment industry with Zhao Yazhi as a role model, and Zhu Lingling as a role model for those who want to marry into a wealthy family.
These are the things that Shao Yifu is proud of, what about Miss Asia inviting Xu Ziming, the Miss Asia competition pattern is too small, there is no rich historical color, and it is much worse than Sister Hong Kong.
Fang Yihua knew Shao Yifu's thoughts, so he didn't mention this topic anymore, but asked: "Sixth brother, now that Oriental Film Company has established cooperation with Twentieth Century Fox in the United States with "Zombie Supreme", do you think we should talk to Xu Ziming about film cooperation, maybe we can rebuild a Shaw Brothers movie?"
Shao Yifu turned his head to look out of the car window, sighed and said: "No need, young people nowadays have their own unique vision, when I used to make movies, I was also a teenager, but now that I am old, I can do a good job of wireless TV, which is the biggest idea." ”
Since Shaw Brothers announced the cessation of production, Shaw Yifu has been busy with radio, but Nanyang's cinema chain is still in his hands and has not been sold, and has been idle in his hands.
Hearing Shao Yifu's affirmative answer, Fang Yihua breathed a sigh of relief, she could guess that it was only a matter of time before Nanyang's cinema chain was sold. So now it's time to hold this Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.
In Fang Yihua's view, because of the participation of Xu Ziming, the beauty pageant of Sister Asia, which was not worth mentioning, has posed a great threat to the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.
If the judges are on, Sister Hong Kong invites Zhu Lingling to be one of the judges, which will surely add a bit of competition.
