Chapter 116: Unexpected Opportunities

After the TV series, there are still commercials, but it was replaced by "Miss Asia". More than a dozen popular actresses, as the spokespersons of the "Miss Asia" beauty pageant, stood there together, and the unified slogan was: Miss Asia, just to create tomorrow's stars, my today is your tomorrow.

Not only in TV ads, but also on radio, newspapers, and magazines, "Got Talent", "Asian Idol", "Miss Asia" publicity seems to be overwhelming, almost no one in Hong Kong does not know about these three talent shows, the number of people who sign up is faster than the big bull market stocks.

Similar propaganda is not only in Hong Kong, since it is under the banner of "all Asia" screening, it is natural to cast this net more widely, and almost all of Asia is really taken care of.

It's just that "Miss Asia" is limited to Chinese, and the other two programs are focused on Hong Kong, with other major Chinese-speaking regions in Asia as the side, and some other regions as auxiliaries. Most of the advertising volume is concentrated in Hong Kong and Macao, Taiwan and Singapore and other major Chinese-speaking areas in Hong Kong and Macao in a quarter of the volume, Japan, South Korea, India and other regions are even less, only a small number of advertisements are done on TV and radio stations, and newspapers are also simply some publicity.

First of all, these three talent shows are the first time to do it, it is impossible to really have so much influence, each country and region almost has its own talent show, no matter how novel the outsiders are also outsiders, before they really have absolute influence, that is, they catch some small fish and shrimp to support the scene, if there are really any powerful players to participate, it is a fish that has slipped through the net of local talent shows.

Secondly, Phoenix culture is also good. Whether it's ATV or not, they don't have that much appetite to digest too many non-Chinese artists. The entertainment and cultural market should also be done with heart. It is a wise saying that it is wise to be greedy and chew it anywhere, and it is the greatest benefit to be able to firmly control the Hong Kong market at the moment.

But there are always exceptions in the world, coincidences and accidents will always happen, often inadvertently, surprises will suddenly pop out to catch a surprise, but it is not completely unprepared to meet the surprise.

……

In a modeling agency in Macau, several young models are reading a newspaper. A model with slightly darkened skin walked in, and a younger model hurriedly beckoned him over and said, "Brother Li." Come and see, there is a new talent show in Hong Kong, which is the recently super popular Phoenix Culture, and a few of us want to make a group to participate. Come with us, too. ”

Another older model also said, "yes." Fu Li, you go with us to participate, haven't you been reading books on acting some time ago, and you are also the most thoughtful and thoughtful in the company, so we can also take care of it when we go to participate together. ”

The young man named Fu Li looked at these colleagues, these guys usually don't work very hard, they just think about how to become famous and become big stars, if those draft activities are really so famous, I don't know how many stars there are.

As the main model of the company. Fu Li's words were still very useful, and he decided to persuade these guys who didn't put their minds right. Said: "This advertisement has also been broadcast on TV, I have seen it, and I also know that Phoenix Culture is very good at making movies, and I have basically seen all their movies, if I can join that company, I should have the opportunity to become a big star." But have you ever thought about it, people are so good in the company, will the people to be selected be worse, in addition to being models, what is better than others, being a star is not just a matter of height, that requires acting skills, Teddy Luo Bin is so low that he can also be a big star, just because people have acting skills.

Who among you dares to say that you have acting skills, who dares to say that you really have a chance to be selected, I think you are all just impulsive, and you really go to someone else to let you perform something, can you play it? That Chen Baixiang also juggled in the advertisement, but who of you can, who can juggle that? I can't even play that, what to compare with others, compare height, there are not very few people who are more than two meters now, and you can't compare to others in height. So, you still have to do your job honestly, and the modeling industry is also very promising, maybe a film company will come to you to ask you to make a movie. ”

Fu Li's words did have a certain effect, but they couldn't completely stop a few guys with star dreams, or the younger one just now, raised his head and looked at Fu Li, and said: "Brother Li, what you said makes sense, but you can't be completely sure, movies are made for people to see, and of course they are more popular with actors who look pleasing to the eye, and besides, there are stars who are born to act, aren't they all learned later." We didn't think we could really be selected, but this is always an opportunity, even if we were stung the first time, it's better than not fighting, don't you say? The registration fee is only ten Hong Kong dollars, so it's a big deal to go to Hong Kong, and there will be no loss, Brother Li, you can go with us. ”

In the end, Fu Li was a little tempted by what others said, ten Hong Kong dollars is nothing, maybe you can really get a chance, just try it. Nodding slightly, he said, "Okay, I'll play with you, if you really don't choose, you will have to work hard in the future." ”

……

In Ota District, Tokyo, Japan, in front of a newsstand, eighteen-year-old Honami was helping her father buy newspapers, and Honami, who was wearing a short skirt, showed a sweet smile and politely said to the old man who sold newspapers: "Please give me a copy of "Sankei Shimbun", thank you!" ”

"Huh?" Before he got the newspaper he wanted to buy, he saw another newspaper in front of him, and Honami was immediately attracted to his attention and looked down at an advertisement in the newspaper.

"Hong Kong Phoenix Culture Co., Ltd. and Asia Television jointly launched the "Asia's Got Talent" and "Asian Idol" auditions, and the registration scope was expanded to ...... in Asia." Before I knew it, Honami had whispered the content of the advertisement: "The winner will get an artist signing, and there will be a reward of HK$50,000 to 200,000, ah, it's great." ”

Honami, who was a little excited in her heart, stopped talking and glanced around, and found that there was no acquaintance. He took out a banknote from his pocket and said to the newspaper seller: "Please give me a copy of this newspaper, thank you!" ”

When the two newspapers arrived, Honami folded the advertised newspaper contentedly and jumped to his home, thinking about how he should handle it all the way.

When he returned home, he handed in the newspaper that his father had requested, and then immediately went into his room, locked the door from the inside, and took out the neatly folded newspaper and read it carefully.

While watching, I was still thinking in my heart: I thought I wouldn't be able to go to Hawaii, but it seems that it is really a desperate place to survive, isn't this just an opportunity? If I can win the selection competition, I can get at least 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, plus the pocket money I have saved by frugality, it should be enough.

Honami's father was a businessman, but he was very strict with his children, never giving them too much money, and doing everything they wanted had to achieve through their own efforts.

Last year, Honami wanted to travel to Okinawa, but she couldn't get enough money at home, so she went to the Hori Production Company's rookie audition, won a special prize, and earned money to complete the trip to Okinawa.

This year, she wants to go further afield, to Hawaii, a Pacific island in the United States, and the cost is much higher than last year, let alone enough money from home. I was still worried about what to do, but it was impossible to participate in the Hori production selection again, and the registration for the Kanebo swimsuit selection competition has ended, so I can only wait until next year.

Now that there is a selection competition in Hong Kong, if you can win, then there will be a show. Honami is very confident in herself, she looks very beautiful, she has experience as a magazine model, and she also has a hand in singing, since she can win an award in the selection of Hori Productions, it should not be too bad to go to Hong Kong, if she really fails, it will be a big deal to participate in the selection of Kanebo next year.

After making up her mind, Honami filled out the form in the newspaper and cut it out, found a photo of herself, thought that it was not enough, took a letter paper and wrote a resume and other things, and wrote down all the advantages of her fluent English, so she found an envelope and sealed it and prepared to mail it.

"Honami, what are you going to do in a hurry, it's going to be dinner time soon, is there anything you can't go after dinner?" Honami was just about to go out when she was stopped by her mother from behind.

Honami, who was in a hurry to go out, opened the door and replied, "I'm going to send a resume, if I go back after dinner, I will miss the time, this resume is very important." ”

Honami's mother came over wearing an apron and wondered: "Very important resume, Dad has already enrolled you in Seijo University, why do you still have to submit a resume, Honami doesn't like to be in a private university?" ”

"Oh no, it doesn't matter where you go to college. What I'm mailing this time is not school materials, but a copy of the entertainment company auditions. Seeing that the postman's time to receive the letter was coming to an end, Honami simply explained: "The winner of this selection will receive a minimum of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I will earn my own money for a vacation in Hawaii." ”

"Hong Kong dollars? Is it the Hong Kong TV newcomer contest that people have been talking about lately, and you are sure that you can get the winning prize? The mother was a little uncertain and asked: "Hong Kong's entertainment industry is said to be very developed now, I have seen their advertisements, I heard that it is an all-Asian selection, it must be very difficult, and the winners have to sign up to be artists, are you sure you are willing to give up university to become an artist?" ”

Hearing her mother's words, Honami hesitated for a moment, but then made up her mind and said, "Okay, if I can really get the winning prize, I am willing to be an artist, and I want to be the next Yamaguchi Momoe." (To be continued......)
