The live footage of the Hong Kong sister finals is being broadcast live on TV.

As the camera slowly zoomed in, Mei Yanfang, dressed in a black cheongsam, was facing the retro-shaped microphone, singing her famous "Woman Flower" emotionally.

Xu Ke in front of the TV took his gaze back and turned his head to look at Shi Nanwei beside him.

"First Teresa Teng, and now Mei Yanfang, who do you guess will be next?"

Shi Nanwei's eyes were glued to the TV screen, but not at Mei Yanfang, but at the sixteen Hong Kong sisters dancing behind her.

"Since Mei Yanfang is here, then Zhang Yurong has no *** to run, and then Liu Dehua and Li Ming will definitely come, among the four heavenly kings, the two of them have the best development in the film industry, and they have a good relationship with Mr. Lin, Zhang Xueyou is estimated to be invited, as for Guo Fucheng, it is difficult to say, of course, as long as Mr. Lin is willing, it is not impossible to reproduce the grand occasion of the four heavenly kings singing on the same stage 2 years ago."

Shi Nanwei's views are similar to the previous predictions of the Hong Kong media, and like many Hong Kong people, what she is most looking forward to is to see the Four Heavenly Kings on the same stage again.

Of course, Shi Nanqi also knows that it is much more difficult to let the Four Heavenly Kings sing on the same stage now than it was 2 years ago.

Because of the singing on the same stage in the Hong Kong sister finals 2 years ago, the name "Four Heavenly Kings" is known in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and 2 years later, the name of the Four Heavenly Kings has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

These four people each have a large number of fans, and they fight fiercely with each other, and the formation is not at all inferior to the famous "Tan Zhang Hegemony" between Tan Yonglin and Zhang Rongrong back then.

Therefore, now it is not only a matter of money to let these four people sing on the same stage, but also to have a big face, and such people can be counted on one hand in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and most of them will not really put down their bodies to promote this matter, and only Lin Youlun does not need to discuss with the Four Heavenly Kings, but as long as he releases some rumors, the Four Heavenly Kings will take the initiative to cooperate.

The reason is as Shi Nanqi just mentioned, the four heavenly kings are not only developing in the music world now. Like Liu Dehua and Li Ming, acting accounts for a larger proportion of their careers than singing, and in order to develop in the Hong Kong film industry, it is necessary to marry Lin Youlun.

In the Hong Kong entertainment industry. There are more people who want to sell Lin Youlun's face, if it weren't for the special significance of Sister Hong Kong to Lin Youlun this year, it is estimated that it will not be so easy for the Four Heavenly Kings to sell Lin Youlun's face.

Shi Nanwei judged that the four heavenly kings were likely to sing on stage tonight, Xu Ke did not doubt this, in fact, what really interested him was the style orientation of this year's Miss Hong Kong finals.

The old Shanghai-style stage set, the cheongsams worn by Teresa Teng and Mei Yanfang, who appeared successively, and the songs they chose to sing, all made the entire Miss Hong Kong final full of a retro and nostalgic atmosphere.

This is not the same as what the Hong Kong media speculated before, because it is the first Hong Kong sister after Lin Youlun became the owner of wireless, and many people think that the wireless side will definitely design a completely different stage style than before. to show the difference between the beauty pageant of Sister Hong Kong in the era of Shaw Yifu.

"It seems that we all still underestimate Mr. Lin, it's not that he can't, but he doesn't bother to do it."

"After all, Shao Yifu is still the second largest shareholder of wireless, in addition to the reason you said, Mr. Lin should also have concerns about this, right?" Shi Nanqi hesitated and said.

Xu Ke shook his head with a smile. Obviously, he didn't really agree with Shi Nanwei's point of view, but he didn't refute it either.

"By the way, who do you think is most likely to win the championship among the sixteen participating beauties this year?"

"Originally, I was very optimistic about the No. 11 Yang Gongru, but some time ago, Wang Jing said in front of the media that if Yang Gongru won the championship, he would ask her to be the heroine of his new film, and then I was a little unsure."

As soon as Shi Nanqi mentioned Wang Jing, the live TV screen was very "cooperative" and aimed the camera at the judges' seats in the audience. Wang Jing, who was sitting in the position of the main judge, was leaning sideways and chatting with a judge next to him.

"The most incomprehensible thing for me is why Wireless asked him to be a judge for the finals." Shi Nanwei withdrew his gaze and shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Xu Ke.

"It's the same reason that he can be the director of big-budget films such as "Ghost Blows the Lantern" and "The Mummy", who made him have such a good relationship with Mr. Lin." seemed to realize that there was a bit of a sour taste in his words, Xu Ke then added: "Of course, then again, Wang Jing's level of making movies is average. However, his vision for choosing actresses is still good. ”

Shi Nanwei couldn't help but purse her lips and laughed, "Why do I feel like you're scolding him when you say this?" ”

Xu Ke asked curiously, "Is there one?" ”

"Have you forgotten what movie he's made the most over the years? If ATV asks him to be the judge of Sister Ya, I think it is very suitable, after all, Sister Ya has not been one or two champions of third-level films in the sea over the years, maybe there will be another Ye Yuqing, who will be the judge of Sister Hong Kong. I don't think I'm feeling a little awkward. In particular, he also said that he wanted to find a Hong Kong sister champion to play the heroine, you said that if this No. 11 Yang Gongru really won the championship, and then Wang Jing asked her to make a third-level film, how would Mr. Lin react? ”

Xu Ke couldn't help laughing, "If Wang Jing really dares to do that, then I really want to be impressed with him!" ”

Of course, this can only be said as a joke, Xu Ke believes that he is giving Wang Jing a hundred guts, and he does not dare to move such thoughts, otherwise Lin Youlun will not be the first to spare him.

Feeling that the topic was a little far away, Xu Ke stopped and didn't discuss this matter anymore, but asked Shi Nanqi that she was originally optimistic about No. 11, but now she has become uncertain, what does this have to do with Wang Jing?

Wang Jing said such a thing in front of reporters, there are only two possibilities, either he has long known from Mr. Lin who the champion is, and he doesn't have to be responsible for saying big things; Either he knew that this Yang Gongru had a high chance of winning the championship, so he started to build momentum for her in advance. ”

Shi Nanwei's answer made Xu Ke silent.

For some unspoken rules in the circle, Xu Ke has heard and seen it for so many years, of course he will not be naïve enough to think that Sister Hong Kong is really "selected" by the judges, but any such competition, there will be some insiders more or less, even the so-called most fair Academy Awards are not exempt from vulgarity, not to mention the beauty pageant of Sister Hong Kong, which focuses on results rather than processes.

The two possibilities mentioned by Shi Nanwei have conditions for being established, and Xu Ke is thinking about how he can profit from them at the moment.

"I heard that Wang Jing is about to collaborate with Mr. Lin on a movie, if this Yang Gongru is really elected, Wang Jing will really let her be the heroine of this movie?"

The filming of the Hong Kong version of "Iron Man" is still in the confidential stage, but with such a large investment in the film, the movements in the early stage of preparation alone will not be too small.

"I was about to tell you about this, but I met Miss Wang when I went to the set today, and I inquired about it by the way while chatting......"

Before Shi Nanwei's words fell, Xu Ke couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" ”

"Miss Wang doesn't seem to want to mention this matter, but for the sake of the situation, she still reveals something, it seems that Mr. Lin is going to be the leading actor of this movie himself, and this may be the last movie he starred in, and then the heroine has already decided on a candidate, listening to Miss Wang's tone, the relationship between the heroine and her is still very familiar, but in the end she didn't tell the other party who it was."

Speaking of this, Shi Nanqi couldn't help but feel a little regretful, if it weren't for the fact that her temptation was too obvious to make Wang Guxian vigilant, maybe she would have successfully asked who that person was from Wang Guxian's mouth.

Xu Ke shook his head, "It doesn't matter to us who the heroine of that play is, the key is to be able to exclude Yang Gongru, this is the key!" ”

"What do you mean?" Shi Nanqi looked at Xu Ke with a puzzled expression, as if he had thought of something.

"The film I was conceiving a while ago is now a little eyebrow-raising, and with this Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, maybe we can make some articles." In front of Shi Nanwei, Xu Ke had nothing to hide, so he directly said his thoughts.

Back then, Xu Ke's "Huang Feihong" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated" set off a wave of new martial arts movies in Hong Kong, attracting countless followers, and even Wang Jiawei, who couldn't fight with martial arts films, made a "East Evil and West Poison" under the banner of martial arts films, which shows the far-reaching impact of this wave.

This incident once made Xu Ke proud, but soon he couldn't be happy, everyone watched this type of movie to make money, and they all began to follow the trend to shoot, in the year of the release of "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The Undefeated East", the starring Lin Qingxia in the film appeared in 7 or 8 martial arts movies with a shape similar to the undefeated of the East, Xu Ke couldn't bear to see the classics he created ruined, and followed the sequel to see and hear it positively, but the box office performance was unsatisfactory.

It's not that Xu Ke doesn't care, but the entire martial arts film market has begun to show a decline.

Xu Ke can only be unable to turn the tide, and the situation of other followers is even worse, in just a few years, the smash hit new martial arts movies have now fallen to the point of being sparsely populated in front of the door, although it will not be completely eliminated by the market, but the output has been reduced by six or seven percent compared with the peak period.

Xu Ke has changed the decadent trend of martial arts films, but he also knows that the audience is tired of watching similar films, and if they can't innovate through the old, then any effort is just a mantis arm to block the car.

After some hard thinking, Xu Ke thought of a way to combine detective suspense and martial arts, in order to increase the suspense, he added a little magic to the story, but in this way, it was necessary to use computer special effects, and the shooting cost skyrocketed.

Although the martial arts film market has declined, with Xu Ke's name, it is not difficult to attract investment, but now that the shooting cost has increased, the film companies that originally promised to invest in him have retreated.

Unexpectedly, Xu Kecai hit Lin Youlun with his idea.
