Chapter 353: The curtain opens
"Let one go, let one let ......"
Escorted by bodyguards, Stephen Zhao walked into the "Miss Asia" competition in Xiangjiang. Outside, countless reporters flocked to him, chasing him fiercely, and the microphone almost stabbed him in the face.
Zhao Xingchi scolded in his heart, but his face was indifferent, and he heard the noise like a "buzzing" fly in his ears, which made him feel the urge to choke their necks, pull out their tongues, wrap their tongues around their necks, and then kill them with a knife.
"Zhao Sheng, it is rumored outside that you restarted the election of Sister Ya with ulterior motives, what do you think?"
"May I ask Mr. Zhao, what do you think about Miss ATV's revision? Aren't you afraid of failure? ”
"Mr. Zhao, many people are not optimistic about the restart of Miss ATV, what kind of consideration did you make the decision to restart?"
"Zhao Sheng, Hong Kong and Taiwan have undergone a major revision, changing the dominant news program to a TV theater, and the outside world is criticizing you for being Hu Lai, what do you think?"
"RTHK launched the Red Star Theater at 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Sheng, are you sure you know how to run a TV station?"
……
Three women are a flock of ducks, but in Stephen Zhao's opinion, three reporters are comparable to a hundred flocks of ducks, not to mention hundreds of reporters who surrounded him.
As soon as he entered the venue, Zhao Xingchi stopped suddenly, turned his head and looked at them quietly for a while, but he just didn't speak.
Soon, the reporters who were still crackling and asking questions just now and the crowd of onlookers who were very noisy immediately quieted down and looked at each other. Because everyone knows that the more Zhao Xingchi doesn't speak, the more angry and irritable he becomes. At this time, no one dared to make a loud noise, so as not to anger Zhao Xingchi. Although offended Stephen Zhao. Stephen Zhao couldn't do anything to them, but in the face of well-known figures with influence all over Asia, everyone couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
Stephen Zhao sneered in his heart, but then said calmly: "Whether it is the revision of Miss Asia or the revision of Hong Kong and Taiwan, it is a company's business problem, and it will take time to test." But before that. ATV will unswervingly implement the established plan. Thank you! ’
When the words landed, the scene was immediately in an uproar, and all the reporters showed excited expressions on their faces, obviously his answer gave them a lot of thoughts. However, Stephen Zhao didn't care, he smiled, and without waiting for the reporter to ask any more questions, he turned around and walked into the game.
The definition of "beauty" in the Miss Asia beauty contest this time is very different from before. So the flow of the game has also changed considerably.
In the past, the competition process was divided into play-in, semi-finals, finals and finals; But this time, Stephen Zhao was ingenious and made a "Avenue of Stars" model, first selected, and then divided into three schedules: weekly, monthly, and annual competitions, each of which is divided into four levels: shining debut, talent competition, hometown beauty, and beyond dreams.
According to Stephen Zhao's vision, a beauty cannot simply be a vase-like beauty. Although that kind of beauty fits the definition of "beauty" in people's hearts, if you want to hold it as a long-term event. It definitely won't work. Therefore, the beauty should also be a little talented. And in this way, ATV can even have an excellent TV program with a long lifespan, similar to the Avenue of Fame.
The Avenue of Stars is one of CCTV's top variety shows in the previous life, and it is super heavyweight.
However, ATV has always been pressed by TB TV in variety shows. Because TB TV has a "Happy Tonight", it has been more than 45 years since it was launched!
If ATV wants to prosper, the first thing to deal with is TB TV, and Stephen Zhao has no reason not to want to defeat "Happy Tonight".
Seriously, this alternative change of Stephen Zhao. It is to change the registration conditions of the "Avenue of Stars" in the previous life, and only women can sign up, and nothing else has changed.
Of course, if you study it carefully, there are still changes, and the changes are in the performance content of the four levels of the schedule.
The four levels of the "Avenue of Stars" schedule, shining debut, talent competition, hometown beauty, and beyond dreams, the contestants performed either singing or dancing, or singing big plays; But this is "Miss Asia", it is a beauty contest, and the contestants can't just sing, dance, and sing, but also show their beauty, or sell cuteness, or show IQ connotation, or show the beauty of body and face, in this way, the performance will be colorful, it can be wearing underwear, swimsuits, catwalks, or performing talents......
The competition is only held at the Hong Kong Art Center, no matter where people sign up, if they want to compete, they will get to Xiangjiang here, and the transportation expenses will be borne by themselves. This point has also been criticized and ridiculed by many people, thinking that in this way, not many people will sign up for it, and the election of Sister Ya will definitely fail.
In fact, it is true, many people have complained on the Internet, saying that they just gave up because they were too far away from Xiangjiang and it would cost too much to participate.
Stephen Zhao, on his side, also knew this situation when he counted the contestants, and the total number of applicants was less than 10,000, mostly people from Xiangjiang, Mazu Island and the mainland, which shows the impact of this stingy regulation.
Among the less than 10,000 people, they will be selected first, that is, they will select the registration form, look at the basic information and art photos of these people, and if they think it is okay, they will call them and inform them that they have entered the official competition, and then go to the Xiangjiang Art Center on January 1 to participate in the competition.
In this step, 99% of the people need to be eliminated, and only about 100 people are left to participate.
Of course, the transportation expenses of these 100 people are borne by themselves, but the food and accommodation expenses are paid by ATV, so as to avoid the worries of these people. According to Zhao Xingchi's idea, people who are reluctant to pay a little transportation expenses still want to be elected as Sister Ya? Are you kidding.
However, the generosity of food and accommodation expenses did not win the praise of the media, because the media focused on the transportation expenses.
When Stephen Zhao walked in, the art center was already full, with nearly 500 people, and everyone had excited, excited, and happy looks written on their faces, obviously very satisfied that they were able to grab the tickets, enjoy them up close and participate in the election of Sister Asia. It's just that Stephen Zhao knows that among the 500 people, at least 100 people are not ordinary audiences, but reporters from major media, some film companies and brokerage companies.
Regardless of whether "Miss Asia" can become popular in the hands of Stephen Zhao and continue to be held for a long time. At least now a strong topic has formed, which is destined to have a good reputation and influence for the contestants in this issue, especially the winners.
The film company and the brokerage company played the idea of these "Asian sisters".
Some people proposed to ban these people from entering the scene, for fear of causing a negative response to the game, but Stephen Zhao did not agree, because the initiative was in his hands, whether it was a player or another company. I can't make waves.
Stephen Zhao was the last judge to arrive, so as soon as he sat down, the director quickly gave the order to start.
In the sound of music, the host Gu Taikang walked onto the stage: "Hello everyone, this is the scene of the Miss Asia competition held by Asia Television, I am the host Gu Taikang......"
Gu Taikang is preparing "Everyday Upward", which should not be here, but the project of "Sister Ya" is very important. There is no room for mistakes, Stephen Zhao couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so let him go on top first, and then replace him when he finds a heavyweight host later. In addition, Stephen Zhao also has the intention of testing Gu Taikang, what if Gu Taikang's hosting style is more suitable for hosting this beauty pageant version of the Avenue of Stars?
On the judges' bench, in addition to Stephen Zhao, there are also Wang Xuecheng, Tang Xinya, Jay Sun, Jacky Lin, Tao Xia, Li Wen and others. There are a total of twelve judges.
Wang Xuecheng is the vice president of ATV and must come.
Tang Xinya is for the promotion of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Xiangjiang. So I made up a number.
Jay Sun and Stephen Zhao are "strategic" partnerships, with a high reputation and extensive and strong influence in Xiangjiang, and Stephen Zhao naturally wants to arrest him to be a strong man.
Jacky Lin is the god of song in the Chinese music scene, and he is the king in the hearts of the people of Xiangjiang. Zhao Xingchi was invited at the last time at the cocktail party, relying on the relationship of Huaxiaxing's boss Qian Qiang.
Tao Xia, the champion of the Asian sister in the nineties, has the praise of "the most beautiful Asian sister in history", and this time the Asian sister is restarted. It's fitting to invite her here, and it's also a publicity gimmick. Stephen Zhao has to admit that the 45-year-old Tao Xia's figure is still hot, her face is still beautiful, maybe it is a single and maintenance relationship, and there is not even a trace of wrinkles on her face.
Li Wen, in 2005, won the Asian sister championship at the age of 20, and then entered ATV, the actor and host amphibious development, the speed of fame is super fast, and in less than three years, she has become one of the four major actresses in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, and has firmly sat on the throne of the first sister of ATV. After ATV was embarrassed, Li Wen had no choice but to jump to TB TV in order to develop, and then terminated the contract and became a freelance artist. This time, with Wang Xuecheng's ascension, he began to recruit the old ATV department, and after contacting Li Wen, Li Wen agreed to rejoin ATV after a little consideration. This time, I became a judge of Sister Ya, firstly, Sister Ya matched with Sister Ya, and secondly, I came to return to build momentum.
On the left hand side of Stephen Zhao, Wang Xuecheng is sitting, and on the right hand side is Li Wen.
Li Wen was secretly looking at her new boss, this was the second time she had seen Stephen Zhao. Looking at Zhao Xingchi's ordinary side face and ordinary dress, Li Wen had a strange feeling.
Stephen Zhao is not familiar with Li Wen, he only thinks that she has a beautiful face, and the most impressive thing is a pair of smart eyes and a pair of 42-inch super beautiful legs!
Li Wen won the Asian sister championship, and her 42-inch super beautiful legs added a lot of points to her.
"Hey, is this one ordinary? This level also dares to participate in the beauty pageant? ”
"It's just that the face is ordinary, the figure is ordinary, and it's still a tomboy's short hair, this quality is too low, right? What is ATV doing this time? ”
"Turnip greens have their own loves, do you think this girl is of poor quality, I think it's okay?"
……
The seats of the judges and the audience were very quiet, and as the first contestant took the stage, Stephen Zhao soon heard the muttering that made him frown. (To be continued......)
