Chapter 184: Zhao Yazhi's preliminary round
June 17, 1973 at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Diamond Hill is built into a studio, and the wireless station is a recording studio.
Zhao Yazhi was wearing a brown dress and stood backstage nervously, not paying attention to the chatter around her.
She was in second place in the preliminary round, a not very ideal position, because the judges may expect better in the future, and the scoring of the previous contestants will generally be stricter.
And these opponents, she secretly glanced at the girls around her.
A young girl with a perfect goose egg face has attracted Zhao Yazhi's special attention, hearing that she has a good friend who is an executive within TVB, which is always a favorable factor, and she must have no problem entering the semifinals.
Zhao Yazhi lowered his head and gently smoothed the folds of his waist, this skirt was too loose, I really liked this brand at the time, and I ignored too many details, which would affect the perception of the judges and the audience.
But anyway, I can do it too!
A sudden surge of confidence swelled up in her heart, and she looked up with a smile on her face.
Sun Yongen happened to look over, and the two glanced at each other and avoided slightly.
The host outside began to speak, and the backstage was noisy, and I couldn't hear what was being said.
"Everyone is quiet, listen to the loudspeaker to sign up, and then go out on stage. The assistant stage director came in and said loudly, and the girls fell silent instantly.
"Ms. Tang Lianru......"
The judges were being introduced outside, and the host announced a name, and the audience responded with a warm applause.
"Ms. Deng Lianru!" the girls couldn't help but applaud.
Deng Lian is a symbolic figure of the self-struggle of ordinary women in Xiangjiang, she was born in an ordinary small merchant family, through hard study in her early years, she finally obtained a degree from a prestigious university in the United States, and after returning to Hong Kong, it took three years to rise from an ordinary clerk to a department manager.
You know, this department is called the Export Trade Department, and this company is called Swire & Co.
As long as all Xiangjiang women enter the workplace, there is no one who has not heard of her at this time.
Little did they know, of course, that the woman they admired would receive a series of knighthoods in the future: JP, DBE (baron) and the first Hong Kong-born British lifetime nobleman, thus entering the British House of Lords and becoming a hereditary member of parliament.
"Mrs. Li Shupei......"
"Mrs. Li Shupei!" Zhao Yazhi snorted, this great woman who was willing to use her husband's name as her own name was a person who was extremely respected by many women and many men in Xiangjiang, and she was naturally no exception.
Mrs. Lee Shu Pui, or Lee Cho Sau Kwan (Mrs.), 65, was the first female member of the Legislative Council in the history of Hong Kong, and later a JP (Justice of the Peace), who inherited and magnified the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital founded by her late husband and her brother, making it the most prestigious and trustworthy hospital in Hong Kong, and devoted her life to the health cause of Hong Kong.
"Mr Run Run Shaw ......"
The backstage was extremely quiet in an instant, and all the girls showed reverence in their eyes, as long as they want to enter the entertainment industry, who can ignore this name?
"Mr. Zhang Heng......"
Who is this man?
Many of the girls had puzzled expressions on their faces.
Zhao Yazhi was the same, but she always felt that this name seemed to have been heard, but she couldn't remember it for a while, and she suddenly accidentally saw that a strange smile appeared on the face of the girl surnamed Sun.
Did she know him?
It's all cheating!
There was some small resentment in his heart, but he soon calmed down, after more than a year of working as a flight attendant, Zhao Yazhi has been able to face a lot of grievances and criticism.
I'm not bad either!
She puffed out her chest and stared steadfastly.
"Dear friends, distinguished guests, and Xiangjiang viewers in front of the TV, the first round of the first Daheng Cup Miss Xiangjiang TV selection contest is about to begin......"
The host gradually increased his voice, and the air in the background instantly froze.
"Now we have the first contestant, Miss Sun Yongyan. ”
Sun Yongen walked in front of Zhao Yazhi proudly like a swan with her head held high, her eyes swept over her face as if she were nothing, and quickly disappeared behind the door curtain.
"Miss Sun Yongyan, a graduate of Diocesan Girls' High School, is 18 years old, weighs 114 pounds, and is 5 feet 5 inches tall......"
The moderator quickly reported a flurry of data.
Ten pounds heavier than me, the corners of Zhao Yazhi's mouth curled slightly.
Before she could keep her good mood for long, her name suddenly came from the loudspeaker, startling her, but she finally stabilized, tried to move her feet, which were already a little weak, and walked mechanically towards the curtain.
"Miss Zhao Yazhi, a graduate of Chongde College, is 19 years old, weighs 104 pounds, and is 5 feet 5 inches tall......"
The stage was bright, when she just walked out, Zhao Yazhi almost subconsciously closed her eyes, she tried to open her eyes wide, two seconds later, she finally recognized the direction, along the outer section of the arc, walked through the front of the stage, came to the standing position on the edge of the stage, and stopped beside Sun Yongen.
She maintained her posture and subconsciously looked at the audience, but unfortunately it was dark below the stage and she couldn't see anything.
"Are you looking for someone?" a soft voice sounded next to him.
"It's not. She replied softly, her lips slightly open in a tiny slit.
"I just reported to the last judge, Mr. Gentlemen, your expression seems to be a little different?"
"I just don't think I've heard of this gentleman, so I'm just a little puzzled and curious. ”
"Really?"
"Whatever you think! I think your expression is very different, do you know this gentleman well?"
"I've heard from a friend. ”
"I see. Zhao Yazhi's voice had a sour meaning that he couldn't even perceive.
"I saw that you had been looking at the judges' bench before, and I thought you knew the judges?" Sun Yongen heard it, and his voice was slightly provocative.
"Do you know?" Zhao Yazhi naturally wanted to fight back.
"Well, know a few. ”
There was some smugness in her voice, if it weren't for Zhao Yazhi's careful distinction, she would not have noticed it, she sneered in her heart, but her voice was still very flat: "I won't know them in newspapers and TV, if that's okay, I seem to know them too." ”
It was quiet for a few seconds, and there seemed to be a storm condensing in the air.
Then, again, there was no final outbreak.
Sun Yongen let out a very light laugh: "You are very humorous and sensitive, you are not practical, we are not opponents, we are just our own opponents." ”
Zhao Yazhi thought for a while, and conveyed a smile: "Maybe you have a point, this is just a stage for us to overcome ourselves and express ourselves, what does it have to do with other people." ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Sun Yongen. ”
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Zhao Yazhi. ”
PS: When I checked the folder this morning, I happened to find the beginning of an article written two years ago, and after recalling it, I felt that it was okay, so it took half an hour to make a slight correction and send it out. Of course, the name has been modified, paying tribute to the old king next door, and there are also some meanings of rubbing the heat, please have time to take a look, if you think you can still get into the eye, add a collection.
Xifeng doesn't know if he can sign a contract, one change a day before signing the contract, two changes after the signing, anyway, there are more than 40,000 words in the manuscript, maybe he can mix a full attendance in the future.
To reiterate again, "Xiangjiang 1972" will not be a eunuch, according to the outline, at least 1.2 million words will be written, as long as the signed work will not be a eunuch, this is Xifeng's character guarantee at the starting point, I will not think about opening a new number to write a book, the backstage is troublesome to death, it is completely unnecessary!
