After coming out of the airport and returning to the company, Xu Guanwu was still sad and sat at the desk in a daze.

"Boss, the Miss Oriental beauty pageant of Jiayi TV has entered the semifinals." The assistant walked in and said, "This is the list of twenty beauties who have been selected. ”

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had instructed his assistant to report to him of all matters related to Miss Dongfang's beauty pageant, as long as there was any progress. The reason why he ordered him like this was naturally because there was Zhong Chuhong among them.

For a woman with potential and qualifications like Honggu, Xu Guanwu naturally wants to be under his command. No matter how red it is, it can't be as red as Zhong Chuhong. Like such an actress who was dominant in the 80s, Xu Guanwu's purpose is to have more and the better, so he paid close attention to the dynamics of this Miss Oriental beauty pageant.

Flipping through the files of the top ten Miss Oriental beauties, Xu Guanwu compared them with his own vision, and felt that Zhong Chu's infrared appearance was more dominant. Among the ten beauties selected for the semi-finals, there are almost no looks that can compare to her, let alone temperament, so she should have won the championship nine times out of ten.

However, according to the unspoken rules of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, the most beautiful beauty is generally unlikely to win the championship. In the early days, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was bombarded by social defenders, saying that it was just borrowing beauty to attract ratings, and the swimsuit link added was even more open to let men eat tofu, so it was recommended to cancel this beauty pageant.

Therefore, most of the Hong Kong sisters selected in the early days of the wireless beauty pageant are not the most beautiful ones, lest they be scolded for being "only color is used". For example, the champion of the first session of the Hong Kong sister election was Miss Sun Yongen. But in fact, the most beautiful beauty is Zhao Yazhi, the palace army. The champion of Miss Hong Kong in '76 is Lin Lianghui. But in fact, the most beautiful beauty is the third runner-up Liao Jianren. And in the session when Zhong Chuhong participated in the election of Miss Hong Kong. She's just just getting the palace. And the championship was won by Zheng Wenya.

Of course, Zheng Wenya can be regarded as a very powerful woman, not only with first-class appearance and figure, but also proficient in various talents, and at the same time her thinking is also very avant-garde.

Zheng Wenya once helped the Hong Kong version of "Playboy" shoot a series of semi-nude photo albums, which was a sensation in the 80s, when the social atmosphere was still conservative, and of course the sales were also very high.

The trophy of the Hong Kong Film Awards is also designed with a classic look of Zheng Wenya in the "Playboy" photo album. Zheng Wenya, who is proficient in sculpture, can't help but act as a model, and she also personally participated in the design of the trophy, which can be said to be a very talented woman.

She is also proficient in painting. Golf, polo, swimming, etc., have won the Hong Kong Amateur Golf Invitational Championship, which shows that the strength is very outstanding.

With such a beautiful and talented beauty competing, Zhong Chuhong, who was just a small jasper, was actually not unjust. And Zheng Wenya also successfully entered the entertainment industry later, and also filmed a lot of movies in the 80s, the more well-known ones are "Why Have Me" co-starred by her and Zhou Yunfa, Zheng Zeshi, and the star-studded movie "Rich Train" with Hong Jingbao and so on.

Although the Miss Oriental beauty pageant did not have a predator like Zheng Wenya to disrupt the situation. But the probability of Zhong Chuhong winning the crown is not very high, because her knowledge among the many beauties is not high. There was a mistake in the quiz session, so if you follow the unspoken rules of the Miss Hong Kong election, I am afraid it will be difficult for Zhong Chuhong to win the crown this time. However, with her beauty and temperament, she should still be able to win the most photogenic Miss award.

"Alas, if you make another mistake and can't even get the ranking after making the most trouble, then maybe Jiayi TV won't sign a contract with you." Xu Guanwu touched his chin and thought.

In the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, there are examples of beauties playing abnormally, so their scores plummeted. For example, in the first Miss Hong Kong election, Zhao Yazhi was a little nervous because she was not used to wearing a swimsuit in public, and there were mistakes when answering questions, so she only won the palace in the end.

"But how do you make her fail? Do you want to send someone to contact her secretly? Xu Guanwu couldn't help but think.

Shaw Brothers has gradually begun to decline, and may not last more than a few years before closing its doors. And with the current internal environment of the Shaw Brothers, even if Zhong Chuhong can sign a contract as an artist, it is unlikely that he will be taken seriously in the short term. After all, there are still so many old employees in Shaw Brothers, and like this kind of old company that has been operating for decades, its employees have already begun to form gangs, compete for opportunities and resources to tear each other down, just like TVB's artists are divided into Zeng faction, Liang faction, and Le faction, they praise the employees in their own camp and belittle the artists in the other camp, forcing their artists to automatically stand in line, and also making some artists who have no acting skills and only know how to sneak around become popular, while some powerful artists who stick to their principles have been suppressed. After the worst, he had to choose to leave TVB.

It can be said that this kind of vicious competition in the company is the most harmful to the company itself. TVB has been scolded for many years, the old routines and old lines are plagiarized and imitated, and the ugly newcomers are unable to rely on the old drama bones to support the scene. In fact, the reason is also related to the company's infighting, which consumes unnecessary resources, making it difficult to do serious things but with little resources to support.

The infighting leads to the departure of employees, who only swear allegiance to the leaders in the camp, and naturally have no sense of belonging to the company.

In addition, the infighting of gangs and factions makes people's attention no longer focus on promoting new people, cultivating new people, and cultivating powerful people, but which one is obedient and which one is loyal, and as a result, a large number of people with no strength have surfaced, but those with strength have been strongly suppressed.

In this way, powerful people will naturally leave TVB, and those who have no ability and can only slap horses will not play much role in staying in TVB, so TVB's dramas are becoming more and more ugly, and being scolded is an old stalk for decades, and being scolded has not made progress from the past to the present, but has regressed a lot.

TVB's example is actually the example of the Shaw Brothers, and the Shaw Brothers are now divided into multiple factions, one side is the old courtiers' faction. is the group of people who fought the world with Sir Shao Yifu back then. Although Zou Wenhuai. The heads of He Guanchang's two old courtiers ran away. But there are other old courtiers of the Shaw Brothers who have not left, and they are also the backbone of the Shaw Brothers.

The other side is the royalists, and the leader is naturally Fang Yihua who holds Shang Fang's sword. She has little experience in becoming the owner of the Shaw Brothers, and she is a layman in the movie, so although she is holding the sword of Shang Fang, it is also a little difficult to command the old courtiers. Therefore, she can only give priority to promoting newcomers, including a group of assistant directors and returnees who have studied abroad. and cutting-edge directors from Taiwan, Nanyang, South Korea, Japan and other places invited to film.

Fang Yihua vigorously supported the new director, which naturally impacted the interests of the old courtiers. Shaw Brothers' funds are originally so little, and since the rookie director wants to film, he naturally has to occupy a sum of money. So if the old courtier wants to film, he naturally has no money, and if he doesn't have money to film, he has no money to eat, which is quite a terrible thing.

Moreover, there are still so many actors with strength and box office appeal in Shaw Brothers, and the new director wants to use the old courtiers as well. Under the competition between each other, not only are both parties dissatisfied, but the actors are also unbearable to be caught in the middle. Promising the new director offended the old courtier. If you agree to the old courtier, you will offend the new director, and if both sides don't agree, both sides will be offended.

Funds and actors are the objects that the old courtiers and royalists are fighting for, and as for other costumes, props, photography, screenwriting, venues, etc., it is a small matter in comparison.

However, if you compete for me, the internal friction of the Shaw Brothers is actually quite serious. For example, when director Li Hanxiang was filming, he wanted to shoot ten children blowing bubbles with bamboo pipes, and he applied to Lu Shang for ten bamboo pipes. After being seen by Fang Yihua, who was in charge of the audit, he crossed out half of it without asking, and only allowed Li Hanxiang to approve five bamboo pipes.

Ten children, five bamboo pipes, how to shoot this scene, the angry director Li Hanxiang simply deleted this scene, but the money for inviting child actors is much more expensive than bamboo pipes, and the actors were hired for nothing but not filmed, so naturally this loss is very large. I don't know how many times a similar situation has happened in Shaw Brothers, and often there are directors who are so angry that they drop the script, "If my mother sells X, if you don't approve it, you won't shoot it, stop there and see who loses the most!" ”

Xu Guanwu is worried that if Zhong Chuhong enters Shaw Brothers filming now, he is afraid that he will have to learn how to stand in line first. If a faction is not selected well, it may not be reused until the contract expires. And with Shaw Brothers' current low salary, if there is no drama to film, basically an actor is worse than a street vendor.

For example, TVB has been bombarded by its artists for many years because of salary issues, and some artists are even more willing to commit themselves to being street vendors, rather than continue to serve TVB. And TVB has been repeatedly criticized for its serious loss of employees, and TV dramas have been repeatedly criticized, so they have to pay a lot of money to invite big names to come back to film, I heard that they have contacted Zhou Yanfa, Liu Dehua, etc., with their current fame and status, the price must be quite high.

If you are willing to spend so much money to invite outsiders, why not take care of your own people first? Could it be that only foreign monks are good at chanting, but their own employees don't have to take care of them?

stayed at Shaw Brothers for five years with a meager salary, if he didn't film seriously and just played tricks, then Zhong Chuhong would have spent the past five years in vain, not only lost the most important five years of youth in vain, but also basically couldn't save anything. There is no need to mention money, it seems that fame, status, and acting skills will not gain anything.

"Alas, if Honggu is really suppressed after entering the Shaw Brothers, then I really have to go to the horse to save her." Xu Guanwu couldn't help but think.

……

Just when the Miss Oriental beauty pageant of Jiayi TV entered the semi-finals, the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant of TVB was also grandly released, and the registration for this year's beauty pageant began.

Because TVB is really bleeding this time, the winning champion can get a salary of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and can also have priority to enter TVB and even Xu's work, so the generous reward immediately attracted many girls to join. The number of applicants has reached a new high again, two or three times higher than the number of Jiayi TV.

As soon as the results were announced, Jiayi TV was disgraced, and the Miss Oriental beauty pageant finals, which were in full swing, suddenly became much bleaker.

TVB also attaches great importance to this Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, not only inviting celebrities and gentlemen from all walks of life in Hong Kong to serve as judges, but also specially inviting Huang Zhan, Huang Laoxi, He Shouxin, Shen Dianxia, and Wang Mingquan to serve as the award emcee. At the same time, Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie brothers are also among them, and they can be regarded as the biggest judges of this year's Miss Hong Kong.

In the first Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, the Hui brothers served as judges for the competition, and they were still artists at TVB at that time, one of the most popular comedy stars. After a lapse of six years, they sat on the jury again, and their status jumped directly from artists to bosses, and they are also the richest people in Hong Kong.

Xu's "Daily Daily" and "Phantom of the East" also strongly supported the pageant, and could not help but be responsible for covering the pageant, and also published the beauties that may win awards in the newspaper one by one, so that their exposure rate has also increased greatly.
