623 [Sister Asia Entry Tournament Begins]
If you want to shoot "ET", you can't start it right away, and in another time and space, Spielberg spent half a year just designing and producing the head of ET.
Wang Zijun naturally didn't have to be so troublesome, and directly drew the appearance of ET from memory, but it was still very troublesome to make, and it would take at least two or three months.
Wang Zijun was not in a hurry, and honestly stayed at home to write the script. It takes some thought to change the place where the story takes place from the United States to Taiwan, for example, Taiwanese people will not celebrate Halloween. The whole storyline has to be changed to be reasonable, and the dialogue has to be orientalized, so it can be said that in addition to the general plot, the entire script has to be changed drastically.
Just when Wang Zijun was writing the script, the finalists of the Miss Asia beauty pageant had already started in various constituencies.
The beauties selected at each selection stage vary, but are roughly between 30 and 60. For example, the number of people selected in this constituency reached 60, while Singapore's population base only made it to the finals.
The Miss Asia pageant process is divided into registration, selection, finalist, semi-final, finalist and final, with the winners of each country and region going to the host country (this year, Hong Kong) to compete.
The play-in competition for the Taiwan constituency was held in a large studio of China Television. said that it is a large studio, in fact, it can seat more than 200 live audiences, which is already the largest in China Television. Taiwan's respected filmmaker Mei Changling died last year, when Wang Zijun was filming "Titanic" in the United States, so he did not come back to attend his funeral. During Mei Changling's tenure as the general manager of ZOSE, the biggest stroke was the construction of the ZOSE building, with many infrastructure facilities such as recording studios, studios, and studios being very complete.
It's a pity that China Television will not use the studio to make a show for China Television, which makes Taiwan's beauty contest look a little shabby. Especially when 50 beauties took the stage collectively, the stage was extremely crowded, which made the director and photographer a headache.
Fortunately, this is only the play-in tournament, and it can barely make do, but the semi-finals and finals in the future will have to change venues.
More than 200 spectators were excited to enter, and it was very difficult to get tickets to be able to come here today to watch the play-in tournament live. Not to mention, there are at least double digits of people from some small film companies and agencies in these live audiences.
At present, some of these fifty beauties will be signed by Wang's Pictures and China Television, but there are always some fish that slip through the net. These beauties were selected from thousands of applicants, and they participated in a week-long training, and their beauty and demeanor were impeccable, so they were naturally good targets for entertainment companies.
The audience arrived early and sat down, chatting in twos and threes, while the staff was also making final adjustments to various machines and equipment.
Then the judges entered one after another, and the judges in each constituency were 12, basically celebrities from the cultural and entertainment circles. When the judges appeared, they also made some packaging to highlight the influence and style of the beauty pageant.
The director gave the order to start, and the studio suddenly darkened, only to hear the master of ceremonies shouting: "Please invite Mr. Zheng Chouyu, a famous poet and writer, to the judges of the first Miss Asia beauty pageant in Taiwan constituencies!" ”
saw a beam of light knock down on the stage, Zheng Chouyu walked out in a striped suit, raised his hand and waved it to the audience, and the audience immediately broke out into warm applause.
Zheng Chouyu's popularity in Taiwan in the 80s has surpassed that of Yu Guang, and the organizing committee was able to invite him to the scene, which was really unexpected by many people.
After Zheng Chouyu took his seat, the master of ceremonies said again: "Mr. Gu Long, a famous martial artist and screenwriter. ”
"Oh!" This time the shouting was even louder, after all, Zheng Chouyu belonged to serious literature, while Gu Long belonged to popular literature.
is different from Zheng Chouyu's very formal dress, Gu Long has a beer belly and wears a white T-shirt with a transformer printed on the front of the T-shirt, which is obviously a pirated stall. His hair was not combed, and there was still a handful of unruly hair standing on the back of his head, and he walked to the stage like a walk at home.
In another time and space, Gu Longhui was injured a few years ago because of a quarrel with Wang Yu, and then transfused blood with a hepatitis virus, and since then his physical condition has taken a sharp turn for the worse. In addition, this guy is both smoking and drinking, and every time he comes out of the hospital, he will not repent, and he will hang up next year.
However, this time and space Wang Yu did not join the Bamboo Union Gang at all, and Gu Long naturally could not conflict with him, and he was still alive and kicking now. And because his health is not bad, Gu Long, a wanderer, has made a few more "qingren".
Taiwan's beauty pageant naturally invites Gu Long, a beauty expert, to be a judge.
"Ms. Qiong Yao, a famous writer and film and television producer, is invited!"
The third person to enter was Qiong Yao. Because of the existence of Wang Zijun, Taiwanese films did not decline in the past few years, and the entertainment industry at this time was more diversified, and it was not Qiong Yao's drama that was dominant. Even so, Qiong Yao's status in Taiwan is unshakable, and she has been making TV series in recent years, almost every one of which can cause a ratings frenzy.
"Please Miss Zhen Zhen, a famous movie star!"
In the audience, the younger generation is obviously very unfamiliar with the name Zhen Zhen, after all, Wang Zijun is thirty-one years old this year, and Zhen Zhen is still the predecessor of Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia.
Liu Jiachang was involved in Gu Minglun's suicide case, and there was also a shadow of Jiang Gongzi in it. He was afraid of being killed, coupled with a burst of media bombardment and fan abuse, he took his wife Zhen Zhen away to the United States.
Through Wang Zijun's relationship, Liu Jiachang joined Dragon and Tiger Film Company as a director, and has also made more than ten films in the past few years. At the beginning, this guy saw Wang Zijun making box office money in the United States, and thought that Hollywood was very easy to mix. As a result, he made several literary films in a row according to his previous style, and all of them lost money, so that the general manager Frank didn't want to see him. Fortunately, they are all small costs and do not make the company lose too much money.
Liu Jiachang is also smart, and when filming the fourth part, he chose the target audience as Chinese Americans. filmed a Chinese love story that takes place in Chinatown, focusing on homesickness and nostalgia, and turned out to be an instant hit and had a good impact in the Chinese circle.
Of course, it is only in the Chinese circle, Liu Jiachang's name is out of Chinatown, and basically no one knows him in the United States.
Wang's Entertainment Agency was set up by Liu Jiachang, who originally owned 30% of the shares. However, since he went to the United States, he has not returned for two or three years, and according to the agreement signed with Wang Zijun, most of it has been automatically recovered, and now only 5% is left.
Gu Minglun's case has long passed, and Chinese Americans are slowly getting tired of Liu Jiachang's movies, so this guy ran back with his wife Zhen Zhen two months ago.
After coming back, Liu Jiachang did not return to Wang's Entertainment Agency, but formed his own record company.
"Please famous singer Liu Wenzheng!"
In recent years, Luo Dayou, Qi Qin and others have become popular, but in Taiwan, the real emperor superstar, except for Wang Zijun, is still only Liu Wenzheng.
"Please ......"
With the entry of heavyweight judges one by one, the atmosphere of the scene has been mobilized before the finalist competition has even begun.
Backstage, the beauties in evening clothes were also nervously waiting to play.
Wang Junxian is the 21st, and she suddenly regrets that she shouldn't have come to sign up for the beauty pageant, and it is really a bad thing to walk on the stage and make people judge.
On the front stage, a group of dancers with the surname male are dancing in gentlemanly clothes. In the dynamic dance, the first beauty with a long skirt swaying to the ground appeared, a male dancer held the beauty's hand and walked to the center of the stage, the two danced a few movements and then gave way to the stage, and the second beauty continued to appear.
The evening clothes on these beauties are specially made by Hong Xiaoqiao's "Zijin" costumes, which are also the exclusive clothing sponsors of the Miss Asia contest in Taiwan's constituency. Not only evening wear, but also swimwear is also provided by the "Zijin" design, and when the time comes, it will loudly slap those moral gentlemen in the face, teach them to distinguish what is a swimsuit and what is a swimsuit, and don't swimsuit swimsuit stupidly can't tell the difference.
Of course, there is no swimsuit section in the play-in round, the main reason is that there are too many people and not enough time, so there is only an evening wear part.
By the time of the semi-finals, there were only 18 players left, and there would be evening wear and swimsuits at the same time. Then to the finals, in addition to evening wear and swimwear, a Q&A session will be added to achieve the final selection of the champion with both beauty and intelligence.
Naturally, the Q&A session will not ask some brain teasers or questions that are too specialized. First of all, the jury asked the contestants to choose the fields they are familiar with, such as music, movies, clothing, sports, life, etc., and the topics are all basic surnames.
Although the title is very simple, if the contestant says that the author of "Dream of Red Mansions" is Luo Guanzhong, then I'm sorry, no matter how beautiful you are, you have to get out.
Until the Asian Finals, in addition to evening wear, swimwear and Q&A, there will also be a national costume section. Contestants from various countries and regions choose their own national costumes, and explain the characteristics, history, etc. of the costumes they wear to the audience and taste, and the awards in this link are called "Classical Beauty Awards".
"Wow, this Yang Rong is so beautiful!"
"Nonsense, obviously No. 3 Gan Minzi is more beautiful!"
"Where is No. 3 beautiful, the face plate is so big, how can the melon seed face of No. 6 look good?"
“……”
50 beauties appeared one after another, they came from all over Taiwan, and all of them were so good-looking, so that the audience and judges at the scene had the idea of "the original Taiwan" so many beauties.
However, Luo Bu Qingcai has its own love, and the audience at the scene competed on the spot, and the scores of each judge were also different.
Now it's only a play-in tournament, and the free surname for scoring is relatively large, but there are still scoring rules to follow. For example, the score is also divided into manners, temperament, body shape, appearance, etc., and will be added in the future, such as conversation, cultural literacy, and so on.
