"Top Secret Mission" was released for more than a month, and finally finished with a North American box office of 81.7 million, far exceeding the 43.2 million of "50 First Loves", temporarily ranking second in the North American box office list, which surprised Hollywood media reporters, so with the box office of "Top Secret Mission", it is almost certain that it will be in the top ten of the annual box office list in North America, and this is the first time that a Hong Kong film has been on the top ten of this list. But it's just a surprise, Hollywood movies are still the rulers of North American and even world cinema.

In contrast, the impact in Hong Kong is much greater, although the media does not know the proportion of the box office between Tang Dynasty films and EGK, but according to the American film industry's sharing conventions, Tang Dynasty films can earn at least $40 million in North America by relying on "Top Secret Mission", which translates to more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Prior to this, "Top Secret Mission" was in the posture of box office champions in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and other countries, and the box office results were all red.

If you count "50 Times in the First Year", which also landed in the North American and European markets before and also had a good box office, the last two movies made Tang Dynasty films make a profit of at least 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in the first half of 87, which is almost no different from grabbing money in the eyes of everyone.

So there are good things to bring up the old things again, and Lei Juekun used the merger of the Golden Princess Cinema and the Tang Dynasty Cinema in exchange for 8% of the shares of the Tang Dynasty Film, which is different from the previous praise and depreciation, this time almost everyone said that Lei Juekun has a vicious vision, and this is destined to become one of Lei Juekun's most successful investments.

In such a round of applause, the annual visual feast of Hong Kong people - Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia finally kicked off. Propaganda is even more sparing. To say that these two aspects of wireless are also not inferior, but ATV has a killer feature that wireless does not have.

As the champion of the last Asian sister, Li Zhi was caught by Gu Chen and became the publicity ambassador of this Asian sister, which is a living example, only one year after her debut, she only starred in two movies, and became an international movie star out of Hong Kong, and even the American "Los Angeles Times" praised Li Zhi as an Asian sexy goddess. And in Japan, Lizhi has become the perfect goddess in the dreams of countless men.

Although some sane people see the reason behind Lizhi's fame. But more people don't care about this, they only know that Lu Dao Lizhi can have her current achievements because of her participation in the selection of Asian sisters, and this is the result that everyone in ATV, including Gu Chen, wants most.

Before the registration was about to end, ATV announced a news - Gu Chen will serve as the chief judge of the third Asian sister selection. It has caused the last wave of registration fever, and some of these people who signed up are purely Gu Chen's fans. I signed up with the idea of looking at Gu Chen; Some have unknown ends. For example, I hope to be lucky to be favored by Gu Chen, after all, there are Wang Guxian and Li Zhi in the past, and there are fresh examples such as Guan Zhilin in the back, and it is normal for women to have this kind of thought, and most of these women think that they have some appearance.

Soon the date of the preliminary round arrived, due to the large number of people who signed up. reached nearly 400 people, exceeding the highest record of wireless in previous years, so ATV put this year's Miss Asia selection in the Hung Hom Stadium, and it was precisely because of the number of applicants that the Hong Kong beauty pageant set a record. This year's Asian sister selection has received a huge audience from Hong Kong citizens and media. In contrast, although wireless still attracted a lot of people by relying on the old brand, the final number of applicants was only about 200, and it lost before it started.

In the preliminary round, Gu Chen did not appear, but ATV appointed five high-level personnel as judges, and the rules of the preliminary round are also very simple - the participating beauties wear the costumes designated by the organizing committee on the stage, as long as three of the five judges pass, they can advance to the next round.

However, there is a limit to the number of people who can qualify, and only 64 people will be left to enter the semi-finals, which is equivalent to a ratio of 7 to 1.

After the preliminary round, 64 beauties competed again to determine the top 32, and then entered a publicity period, ATV carried out comprehensive packaging and professional training for these 32 beauties, and held various activities to expand the influence and popularity of each beautie.

Before the start of the round of 32, ATV opened the hotline of "Sister Asia in your mind", according to the rules of the competition, starting from the top 32, the competition will be changed to an 80-point scoring system, with judges accounting for 50 points and telephone voting from the audience outside the venue accounting for 30 points, that is to say, which beauty gets more support outside the field, the higher the score, it can be said that which beauty can successfully advance and even win the final championship The audience outside the venue plays a very important role. The main reason for setting the rules in this way is undoubtedly to increase the enthusiasm of the audience.

Sitting in the audience, looking at Aaron Kwok who was singing on stage, Cai Yan suddenly leaned towards Gu Chen, gestured to the eye-catching pattern in the center of the stage, and said: "I heard that those naming rights, strategic partners, and sponsorships are all thought of by you, and the naming rights of Sister Ya alone for these few episodes of the show were sold for 1.8 million?" ”

Gu Chen smiled slightly and said: "I just need it for the corresponding market, and on the premise of not affecting the quality of the program, I naturally want to maximize my benefits." ”

Today is the top 32 competition, the purpose is to determine the top 16, the judges are the same as before, the same five, but the five before the people fly, in addition to Gu Chen, the main judge, the other four judges are the champion of the last Asian sister, the popular actress Lizhi, and the director of the ATV board of directors, Ross? Kadoorie, renowned writer and songwriter Huang Zhan and renowned writer, filmmaker and foodie Choi Ran.

Such a lineup of judges is not luxurious, and it is one of the main highlights of this year's Asian sister. Today, each of them was assigned 10 cards, the signs were written 1 to 10, that is, 1 point to 10 points, and in the competition they will hold up different signs according to the performance of each beauty, and then add the scores on the five cards to get the judges' scores, plus the scores from the off-site telephone voting, to get the final score.

It is worth mentioning that there is only one event in this round of competition, that is, the catwalk, but there are two, namely the cheongsam catwalk and the swimsuit catwalk, the main purpose is to select the best beauty. The judges will not give a score until the second round of the swimsuit catwalk.

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Huang Zhan shook his head and said, "Young people's heads are good, and just thinking of an idea is a lot of money." ”

After Aaron Kwok's performance, the host shouted: "Please invite the No. 1 beauty to appear." A beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam smiled and walked on the stage with a lady fan in her hand, this beauty was wearing a tall woman, the cheongsam outlined a bumpy figure, and her walking demeanor was also good, the only pity was that her eyes were a little smaller......

With the appearance of beauties one by one, Huang Zhan's interest in this salty wet guy was gradually raised, although there was a gap between Li Zhi, he still tilted his body towards Gu Chen's side, causing Li Zhi to try his best to snatch his body back: "I think the quality of this Asian sister is very high, and each of the dozen or so appearances so far has its own advantages, so it's really hard to give points." ”

Gu Chen glanced at Huang Zhan and said lightly: "I think you should be more suitable for quality description." ”

Hearing this, Huang Zhan immediately reacted, it seems to be a little ambiguous to describe a person with quality, there is still the last Asian sister champion sitting next to him, he secretly took a look, and sure enough, he found that Lizhi's face was tense, and it was clearly written 'I'm very unhappy', and said embarrassedly: "Slip of the tongue, Miss Lizhi, don't be surprised." ”

"I said Lao Huang, can you pay attention to your image, today's game is live." Cai Yan kindly reminded him, Huang Zhan's eyes glanced slightly in the direction of the camera, and found that the camera was facing him, so he quickly sat up straight and continued to watch the game.

……

"Please invite the No. 31 beauty Qiu Shuzhen to appear." Hearing this name, Gu Chen was slightly stunned, at first he thought that he had heard it wrong, but when the No. 31 beauty appeared, he knew that he had not heard it wrong, and it was really the Qiu Shuzhen in his memory.

"Isn't Qiu Shuzhen supposed to participate in this year's Miss Hong Kong evaluation, and she has become a Miss Asia?" If he remembers correctly, Qiu Shuzhen should be the Miss Wireless Hong Kong who participated in this year, although she was forced to quit because her chin was exposed to plastic surgery, but she successfully signed a contract with Wireless after that, and since then the star journey has been smooth sailing, until she joined the wealthy husband and godson and quit the entertainment industry.

He didn't know if Qiu Shuzhen's chin had really undergone plastic surgery, but he was eager to see if Qiu Shuzhen would repeat the mistake of retiring from the competition in his memory.

"Isn't this beauty beautiful?" Just as he was distracted, a soft voice sounded in his ears, and he turned his head to see that Lizhi was looking at him with a smile, but this smile gave people a sour feeling. Seeing this, he just smiled faintly and said: "Don't think too much about it, I just suddenly thought of something, but this beauty's image is really good, and she should be able to enter the top 16." ”

"I know that you don't have a good heart." Li Zhi muttered softly, and turned her attention back to the game, she is a smart woman, not only can she not get the result she wants if she is unreasonable, but she will also push the man farther and farther, but a small dissatisfaction still needs to be made known to the man.

Gu Chen heard Lizhi's muttering, reached out and grabbed Lizhi's hand under the table and squeezed it gently. At this time, the cheongsam catwalk of the last beauty on the stage is also over, and the swimsuit catwalk will be held next, and the swimsuit catwalk will also determine who will go and who will stay among the 32 beauties.
