Chapter 243: A New Scene for Hong Kong Films
After all the links were over, there was a wonderful dance starring Leslie Cheung, and the judges took advantage of this time to give the final score to all the contestants.
Soon the cabaret performance ended, and the fifteen beauties had already changed out of their swimsuits and stood side by side on the stage in cheongsam.
Xu Ziming and the other five final emcees replied to the stage again, and the host He Shouxin said excitedly with a smile on his face: "Audience, the most exciting moment is coming. Please Mr. Ho Hung-sun to announce the Miss Youth winners for everyone!"
There are many reasons why the Miss Hong Kong contest is more grand than ever before, and the most fundamental reason is that the radio station wants to directly crush the Asian TV station that held the beauty pageant in the later stage.
In the past, the award presenters were basically the winners of the previous award, but this time they are basically famous people in the circle.
"In the 1985 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, Miss Youth is ......" Ho Hongshen opened the envelope and announced directly, "No. 17, Miss Liu Shuhua! Congratulations to Miss Liu!"
Miss Manners came to the stage with a ribbon and a certificate of merit, and presented the award to Liu Shuhua, and then the two stood on the stage for reporters to take pictures.
The next "Miss Friendship" and "Miss Most Photogenic" were won by Liu Biyi and Song Aiyi respectively.
Then the third runner-up of the Miss Hong Kong pageant will be announced, and the winner will receive cash and prizes worth HK$300,000.
This year's Hong Kong sisters are very good, they have both strength and appearance, and it is difficult to directly judge the winners.
Therefore, whether it is the champion, runner-up, or third runner-up, it is worth the audience's expectations.
When Ellen Wang heard the award presenter pronounce her name, she immediately screamed excitedly, because she thought that she would be brushed off if she did not answer well in the question session.
After the third place in the beauty pageant was awarded, the winner of the runner-up announced immediately afterwards was Luo Jinru.
After everyone was amazed, the host He Shouxin said again: "The next most anticipated champion winner will be announced by Mr. Xu Ziming Xu, and the award guest will be Miss Gao Lihonggao, the champion of the previous Miss Hong Kong, to present the award to the champion." ”
Gao Lihong signed up for the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant last year, and won the Miss Hong Kong championship and Miss Photogenic in one fell swoop, and then went to the United States to participate in the Miss Universe beauty pageant as the champion of Miss Hong Kong, and won the third place in the "Best National Costume Award" in the competition.
As soon as she appeared in person, it instantly made the hearts of many viewers who watched attentively by the TV set.
Xu Ziming slowly opened the envelope and announced loudly: "The winner of this year's Miss Hong Kong election is Miss Xie Ningxie!"
When Xie Ning heard the award presenter pronounce his name, he immediately screamed excitedly, she herself did not have a proud figure, she was much shorter than others in height, but her performance in the question and answer was outstanding, she didn't expect that she would win the championship at all.
Among the beauties, the most beautiful are Wang Ellen and Pan Youlian, but Xie Ning won the championship, which really surprised many people, but there were also many people ecstatic.
At the end of the awards, the champion of this year's Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was Xie Ning, the runner-up Luo Jinru, the third runner-up Wang Ailun, and the three beauties wore cloaks and fingered scepters, taking a group photo next to each other like good sisters, and the beauty pageant came to an end.
............
Shaining won the Hong Kong sister crown, and TVB and ATV competed. ”
Wang Ellen spoke boldly and bluntly, and confessed to Xu Ziming in the beauty pageant. ”
Pan Youlian missed Miss Hong Kong and did not win any awards. ”
“......”
As an annual event, the beauty pageant final of Miss Hong Kong will naturally make the headlines of the entertainment pages of major newspapers the next day.
As usual, major newspapers made special reports on the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.
Most of this morning's newspapers and periodicals, Xu Ziming has read most of them, in fact, the Miss Hong Kong election in 85 years is not the highlight of the Miss Hong Kong election, on the contrary, since Chen Farong's term, the Miss Hong Kong election is really unprecedented.
There is no doubt that the radio station will hold Sister Hong Kong so loudly this year, if Qiu Degen does not have a complete way, the Miss Asia beauty pageant will be crushed by Sister Hong Kong very badly.
The election boom of Miss Hong Kong has not subsided, and "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" in New Art City has been released first by other film companies.
Most of the heroines of this "Happy Ghost" are newcomers, including Fu Mingxian and Chen Jialing, and the director is Gao Zhisheng, who has always been famous for filming the first "Happy Ghost".
The box office performance of "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" is not very good, the original novelty of the "Happy Ghost" series has faded, and many jokes have gradually become boring.
In other words, the potential of the "Happy Ghost" series has been exhausted, and it is difficult to make a big difference if it continues to be filmed, Huang Baiming estimates that there is no motivation to follow, and the production department has considered canceling the filming plan of the series after "Happy Ghost".
But fortunately, it is now the summer file, and countless students have contributed a lot of box office to "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", after all, Hong Kong has not found a better youth campus comedy than the "Happy Ghost" series.
"Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" was released for a week. Successfully won the box office of 5.89 million, the data is not ugly, after all, this movie was only released in 10 theaters at the beginning, but Shi Tian's previous "Wishing you prosperity" failed, which made Lei Juekun a little disappointed in the subsidiary of Xinyi City, Lei Juekun's Golden Princess Entertainment Company also has to take care of other subsidiaries, to ten theaters, it is already enough face.
But by the time "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" was released on the eleventh day, its attendance rate had dropped to about sixty percent, obviously showing a lack of stamina.
At the same time, most of the other small film companies are also releasing films, and big companies like Golden Harvest and Mingjia still have some time.
"Happy Ghost Summer Vacation" can last for another week at most, and then it will be the turn of "The Gambler" to show its might, Xu Ziming knows that the publicity offensive of Xinyi City is the strongest, and this time he will take a new type of publicity offensive, and Hong Kong's Hong Kong films will change direction from today.
"It's really profitable to make movies!" "Huang Jinfu has been paying attention to Xu Ziming's things recently, the box office of "The Saint of Gambling" in Hong Kong Benfu alone has more than 30 million, if "The Gambler" is released, the result is self-evident, thinking of this, Huang Jinfu can't help but feel emotional.
The two were discussing a cooperation that had not been negotiated before, and Xu Ziming said with a smile: "There are also a lot of movies that lose money, and more than a dozen film companies in Hong Kong go bankrupt every year." And this time it's not my film company that earns it, Golden Harvest Film Company also earns more. The budget of the movie "The Saint of Gambling" is high, and no matter how well it sells in Hong Kong, it will not be able to recover its costs, and it can only make money by relying on overseas box office. ”
Huang Jinfu is just a big man in the communication industry, and he doesn't know anything about the filming and distribution of movies, so he asked in surprise: "Didn't the newspaper say that the box office has more than 30 million, and you don't make enough money?"
Xu Ziming explained: "The filming cost of "The Saint of Gambling" is more than 10 million, plus nearly 2 million publicity costs, actors' salaries, etc., the income is less. ”
Huang Jinfu was surprised: "Mr. Xu's appetite is quite big. ”
The two talked about some movie topics, and the waiter had already brought the tea they had ordered.
Xu Ziming took a small sip, and then he got to the point, "I plan to jointly bundle the Kowloon Bus and the pager, but I need to expand the share of Mr. Wong's pager in the Hong Kong market. ”
Huang Jinfu said excitedly: "Mr. Xu, speak quickly." ”
Xu Ziming explained: "My film company has a "Gambler" that is ready to be released in a few days, and I am ready to let Mr. Huang's pager and my film be shared for promotion. This is a concrete cooperation programme. "How can a good plan be said in a few words, Xu Ziming immediately pushed the document over and showed it to the other party.
Jin Fu took the document and began to read it seriously.
"Those who go to the theater to watch "The Gambler" more than five times have a chance to win a pager lottery, and those who go to the theater more than ten times can choose two lottery chances and also get a chance to rent a plane for one day. And how to verify the times, I will let the employees take responsibility. Xu Ziming took the opportunity to tell some of the implementation plans in it.
"This?" Huang Jinfu obviously hadn't finished reading the content yet, and listening to the other party's words, he couldn't help but feel that he was doing hard work and that there was no benefit.
Xu Ziming shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Huang, in fact, your benefits far outweigh the disadvantages, and Hong Kong movies have a large audience. But there are very few users of pagers, and with the popularity of the movie "The Gambler", the pagers will be promoted, and when the time comes..."
Huang Jinfu immediately understood that pagers were originally expensive, but with five times to watch a movie, everyone would rush to be the first to be the first, Xu Ziming's movie box office would not only be good, but his starlight pager would also be popular.
"What a great idea!" Jin Fu got up and slapped the table, spilling the tea on the table.
Xu Ziming was also happy, and quickly stood up and said happily: "Happy cooperation." ”
