On a non-holiday, the streets of Tokyo are busy doing their own things, but today in Ginza, many people gather in a circle to watch, because there is a long line of beautiful women standing here.

Not only were these beauties dressed up in flamboyant and glamorous clothes, but they also carried a newspaper and a large suitcase in their hands. Someone with good things went up to investigate, and found out that these beauties came here today because of a job advertisement in the newspaper.

The general content of the advertisement is as follows: To thank the United States for its assistance, to promote goodwill between Japan and the United States, and to highlight the demeanor of Japanese women. The Osaka Business Group and the Okinawa Business Group jointly funded the "Miss Japan-America Goodwill" contest. The entry requirements are as follows:

1. Female

2. Age 17 to 25 years old.

3. Hold a copy of the Japanese resident certificate or the rice valley account (it should be noted here that there is no ID card in Japan, and it is generally used to prove the identity with a driver's license, student ID card, and medical insurance card.) However, everyone has a resident card, but it must be kept by the local government, and you can apply for a copy if you need it. Due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, rice was classified as a military material, so the rice rationing system was implemented for the people, so everyone theoretically had a rice grain account, and most of them used it to prove their identity in peacetime, and this situation was not terminated until 1970 after the rice trade was liberalized. ）

4. Not subject to any contractual restrictions.

5. Never married, never pregnant.

Finally, the organizer reserves the right of final interpretation of the above conditions.

The first place winner of the "Miss Japan-America Goodwill" will receive a prize of 100,000 yen, the second place winner will receive a prize of 70,000 yen, and the third place winner will receive 50,000 yen. 4th to 10th place are 30,000 yen each.

And the top three can go to the United States for visiting performances. The top 10 winners will receive a contract with the newly formed East Asian Film Company, which has been formed by the Osaka and Okinawa Merchant Groups, and the remuneration will be 100,000 yen in the first year, 200,000 yen in the second year, and 300,000 yen in the third year. After three years, it was changed to a free contract. (This is not made up, this is the contract when Daiei signed the first "Miss Japan-America Goodwill" Fujiko Yamamoto.) ）

There is no doubt that this advertisement must have been written by Downing. His first purpose was to heat up the East Asian Film Company that he and the Osaka Merchant Group had just established. After all, it came from the afterlife. As for the role of publicity and hype in the film market, Tang Ning is still very clear. The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, no matter how good things are made, no one knows and can't make money.

The second purpose is to buy horse bones. Although Downing and the Osaka business group are both well-funded masters, they do not have any connections in the film industry. Therefore, if you want to attract powerful actors to join, you must create some momentum. When actors from other companies see that a little girl with no acting skills can make so much money here, they will naturally flock to it.

The third is the faith that comes from the experience of the afterlife. Not to mention far away, just talk about how popular and classic the former Miss Hong Kong competition was, it almost became a business card of Hong Kong. It's a pity that Tang Ning didn't watch the process of Sister Hong Kong's beauty pageant back then. And at this time, the beauty pageant process of Miss Hong Kong was extremely informal, just walking around the pool in a swimsuit. (This is what the selection of Miss Hong Kong originally started in 1946, and it is said that the first session was held by Du Yuesheng, so everything can be imagined, and it was not until the 60s that it began to become formal.) ）

Therefore, Downing could only make changes to the rules of this selection based on the process of Miss America (the Miss America contest that has been there since 1950). As for the so-called Japan-US goodwill and the US visit to the show, they are just a cover that they have no choice but to make because of the current situation.

In order to build up the momentum of the first "Miss Japan-America Goodwill" contest, Downing and the Osaka Group published full-page advertisements in newspapers in almost all major cities in Japan, with a large photo of Hepburn and a demagogic slogan in this era: "You are the next Audrey Hepburn!" And the full-page ad was put on for half a month.

As you can imagine. With such a shocking welfare package and two major business groups as the backing, how can Japanese girls not be tempted? Not crazy? In recent years, because of the direct or indirect impact of American culture, the values and worldview of Japanese girls have been greatly affected and changed, and many people hope that one day they can be like Audrey Hepburn, from an unknown little girl through a "Roman Holiday" to a world-famous Oscar actress, so as to gain fame and fortune and shine!

Therefore, on the first day of the official audition, there was naturally a long queue of beautiful women, and Tang Ning secretly glanced at it and was very satisfied. I think it's very much like the feeling of recruiting Chinese dramas in later generations.

The selection process is divided into four steps, namely casual clothes, dresses, swimwear and talent show. The costumes are prepared by the contestants, but Downing's only concern is the swimsuit performance that will be the finale......

There are six judges in total, and they are Tang Ning, who surrendered his identity to join in the fun. Sakurai, the representative of the Osaka business group, heard about this kind of good thing and specially flew from the United States to the pervert Jimmy, of course, Jimmy was Hollywood's ace producer and investor when he was publicized, in fact, this is also the truth, just an Oscar-winning film "Roman Holiday" is enough to support this name.

and Akira Kurosawa, Toshiro Mifune, and Kazuo Hasegawa, who is known as Japan's most beautiful man, who was specially recruited by Tangning in order to press the new company.

Originally, with the nature of Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune, they would never come to participate in this so-called beauty pageant that was almost a farce in their eyes, but they really couldn't stand Downing's coercion and temptation. In the end, Tang Ning simply confessed: "Mr. Kurosawa, it's really not good, let's do this, if you see a player you like, you can express your opinion, and if you see something you don't like, you don't have to express your position, you don't have to say anything, everything will be handled by me, you should come and press me down." Kurosawa reluctantly agreed.

In fact, there are still many women in Tangning's harem who want to come over to join in the fun, but they were all pressed back by Tangning, what are you kidding, how can your own women let other men judge their heads, and finally after Tangning agreed to reserve suitable roles for them in the new play, they died of this heart. However, Tang Ning is not completely fooling them, with such excellent conditions as Fumiko Wakao and Russell, it is really a waste not to film. (To be continued.) )
