Hung Hom Sports Centre.

The four kings on the stage sang and danced, and the audience waved glow sticks excitedly, the atmosphere was very high, and the instant ratings also reached a satisfactory number.

The wireless senior management took great pains to do a good job in the finals of Miss Hong Kong, but Shao Yifu, who was sitting in the VIP seat and watching the performance, was not particularly satisfied with this.

"Lin Sheng, did you say that Sister Hong Kong's qi is really over?"

Shao Yifu's tone was a little sluggish, and the implication was that he wanted to give up Sister Hong Kong, if this fell on the ears of the wireless executives, it would definitely attract everyone's hard persuasion, but at the moment, there were only two people, he and Lin Youlun, and it was nothing to say.

Lin Youlun looked at the many artists singing and dancing on the stage, and replied thoughtfully: "Sister Hong Kong is not as attractive as before, on the one hand, the organizers should really reflect on it, but on the other hand, this is actually related to the mentality of the audience, now most Hong Kong people have become more pragmatic, and it is difficult to pursue a beauty pageant as before." ”

When Lin Youlun said this, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Shao Yifu and said with a smile: "What's more, Sixth Uncle, you may not really be willing to give up Sister Hong Kong, right?" ”

This sentence immediately struck Shao Yifu's heart.

When Shaw Yifu decided to hold the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, he did not expect that this competition would become an anniversary event in symbiosis with TVB in the following days.

At that time, Shao Yifu was just a businessman, and in order to increase the attention of Sister Hong Kong, he even revealed the news to the newspaper that the participating beauties would appear in thigh-baring swimsuits. Use this as a gimmick for ratings hype.

But what happened next caught him off guard. Positive attention from across the city. He had to elevate this talent show planned by TVB into a grand ceremony that represented the beauty of women in Hong Kong.

The unexpected popularity of Sister Hong Kong reflects the improvement of Hong Kong people's ideology and culture in that era: small citizens who were originally just running around for a living all day long spontaneously wanted to improve the cultural taste of the whole city after the economy took off and the material prosperity began.

Shao Yifu also knows how to follow the trend, and the slogan of "equal emphasis on wisdom and beauty" pursued by Sister Hong Kong has been put forward in this way, and she has done her best every year to arrange the most adequate funds. Deploy the most effective manpower, let the creative launch new tricks every year, and do it for 20 years, to operate such a modeled show into the most successful talent show in Hong Kong.

And as he gets older, Shao Yifu completely handed over the power of TVB to Fang Yihua, and he rarely appears in front of the stage again, only the finals with Miss Hong Kong on Taiwan Celebration Night every year, and he still struggles to attend, which is certainly a responsibility. But it's more of an emotional lingering.

It's not that he doesn't know that Sister Lu Dao's development has begun to decline now, nor does he know that Lu Dao is except for Lin Youlun. There are still many ambitious people in Hong Kong who are ready to stare at the fat piece of TVB. Although Fang Yihua can still control TVB for a period of time, none of Shao Yifu's children and descendants are willing to take over this business.

Even Shao Yifu himself doesn't know what will become of TVB tomorrow, and it is of course difficult to predict what kind of ending the Hong Kong sister who is attached to TVB will have.

Shao Yifu's words just now were not only asking himself, but also asking Lin Youlun.

"It's easy to get nostalgic when you're old, Lin Sheng, you're still young now, of course you won't feel like me."

"Hong Kong people are nostalgic for the old, and even the clock tower at Sha Tsim Tsui Pier and the abandoned railroad tracks at Lo Wu Bridge are not willing to be demolished, so how can they accept wireless without Sister Hong Kong?"

Lin Youlun's answer made his attitude clear to Shao Yifu.

"With Lin Sheng's words, I'm relieved!"

Shao Yifu smiled for the first time tonight, which made the wireless executives who were cautiously looking this way breathe a sigh of relief.

"Of course, Sister Hong Kong has to continue to do it, but she must make some changes, otherwise it will only be worse every year."

Shao Yifu nodded, he knew that the change that Lin Youlun said was not just as simple as making creativity unable to come up with a few new tricks.

For the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, which has been held for 20 years, it is not easy to innovate in the form of the competition, and behind the innovative form, it often means an increase in cost input.

On the other hand, because the influence of Sister Hong Kong is constantly decreasing, it has affected the enthusiasm of advertisers for sponsorship, and in the past two years, the company's finance has mentioned more than once in the board meeting that the profit of Miss Hong Kong is declining sharply.

Shao Yifu has been having a headache about this matter, and of course he wants to hear Lin Youlun's opinion by taking this opportunity.

"I wonder if there is any good way for Lin Sheng?"

"In the past two years, the attraction of Miss Hong Kong to both contestants and audiences has declined, and the decline in the level of contestants is the main reason for the loss of audiences, so the key to the revival of Sister Hong Kong is how to attract those qualified beautiful women to sign up for this competition."

Lin Youlun said this truth, Shao Yifu didn't understand, for this reason, he has increased the bonus of Sister Hong Kong to 3 million Hong Kong dollars, but the effect is not as good as he expected.

Lin Youlun shrugged, "Actually, the prize money has never been the ultimate goal of all Miss Hong Kong contestants. ”

Throughout the 70s to the early 80s, most of the candidates took the election of Miss Hong Kong as a shortcut to marry into a wealthy family, and Zhu Lingling's success was the best model, but after the 80s, slowly wealthy businessmen were no longer as keen as before to marry a Hong Kong sister as a wife, fortunately at this time, TVB rose strongly, although the annual Hong Kong sister fell out of favor in front of the wealthy and rich, but began to be active on the TV screen and became the protagonist of the hit drama step by step.

If you can't be a wealthy man, it is also a good choice to become a TV star with unlimited scenery.

More girls with star dreams have joined the ranks of running for Miss Hong Kong, which makes Sister Hong Kong's influence not only not declined, but has attracted more attention than before.

This situation lasted until 88 when Li Jiaxin was elected as Miss Hong Kong, debuting with the title of the most beautiful Sister Hong Kong, making advertisements, receiving movies, and making endorsements.

Li Jiaxin's personal success once made many people optimistic that it was a new starting point for the Miss Hong Kong event, but now looking back, it is more like the most embarrassing carnival, because after that, Sister Hong Kong's situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the ratings are not as good as a year.

Wireless has spent a lot of effort to reverse this decline, and the performers at the competition site are getting bigger and bigger year by year, and the funds invested are more than one year after another, but the effect received is minimal.

"Now if you want to be famous, running for Miss Hong Kong is no longer the first choice, and in recent years, Sister Hong Kong has become less and less common in TVB's hot dramas, which has also made some people lose interest in Sister Hong Kong, and if they are selected, they may not be able to become famous, and they have wasted a year in vain, so many people have given up participating in the Miss Hong Kong selection."

Hearing this, Shao Yifu couldn't help but ask: "What does Lin Sheng mean, we should increase our efforts to support Sister Hong Kong?" ”

Lin Youlun nodded.

"I know that there is no shortage of artists in Langdao Wireless, but since the Hong Kong sisters every year are selected with great effort, why don't you spend more effort to make them popular?"

"Wireless has been doing this all the time, but the effect is not good, and what is even more embarrassing is that the champion who often spends a lot of effort to win is not popular, but the contestant who is not selected is accepted by the audience."

Speaking of this, Shao Yifu himself felt a little depressed, but Lin Youlun felt normal.

This only shows one problem, that is, there is a problem with the policy of Sister Hong Kong's beauty pageant, Sister Hong Kong has always emphasized that beauty and wisdom are equally important, but beauty should be the premise...... Although this is a bit vulgar to say, for most audiences, the most intuitive criterion for evaluating Sister Hong Kong is whether she is beautiful enough. ”

Shao Yifu nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more, while Lin Youlun continued to put his gaze back on the stage.

There are a man and a woman standing on the stage, the female is the No. 12 candidate Lu Shuyi, and the male is the guest guest of ceremonies Li Keyi.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Of course Zhilu Dao, you are Li Kexuan, and I will sing your songs!"

"Can you prove it?"

Lu Shuyi nodded, took the microphone and sang a piece of "Red Sun", not only the audience applauded, but even Li Kewei thought she sang well.

Lin Youlun stared at Lu Shuyi for a long time, and then Shao Yifu suddenly said on the side: "What, Lin Sheng is very optimistic about this No. 12 on the stage?" ”

Lin Youlun pursed his lips noncommittally, and only said: "She's very good!" ”

If the memory is not wrong, this Lu Shuyi is this year's Miss Hong Kong champion, and Lin Youlun can remember her thanks to Li Kezhuo, who is standing beside her at the moment.

Now the two people on the stage have not yet felt the magic of fate, Li Keyi, who has just started in his career, does not know that he will go through ten and a half years of singer career, and it is Lu Shuyi who is standing by his side at this moment who has never left him, and Lu Shuyi, who is nervous and smiling on stage, does not know that she will leave happy tears at the wedding with Li Kehui ten years later.

Shao Yifu didn't know what Lin Youlun was thinking, but at this moment he was very surprised, because just now a high-level wireless came over and whispered in his ear to tell him the news that the on-site judges had voted for the top three Hong Kong sisters this year, and Lu Shuyi, who was favored by Lin Youlun, happened to be the winner of the championship.

Shao Yifu didn't think it was a coincidence, he had even secretly made up his mind that he would go back and investigate whether this Lu Shuyi had anything to do with Lin Youlun. (To be continued......)
