Kang Jianfei was originally going to hold a press conference on June 10 to announce the official name change of Li's TV station, and the unveiling ceremony of the TV station was held on the same day.

However, now it has to postpone the time, firstly, because the internal reform of the TV station has not yet been completed, secondly, the day of June 10rì happens to be the premiere of "Pretty Girl", and McDonald Bear, as the producer, has to accompany the publicity, and the third is that the Miss Hong Kong contest is too popular during this time, and all news except for Miss Hong Kong cannot attract the public.

This year is the 10th anniversary of Miss Hong Kong, and the judges invited are not only big stars such as Xu Guanwen and He Lili, but even the gambling king He Hongshen was personally invited by Shao Yifu to be a judge.

In addition, on the day of the finals, there was also a gathering of previous Hong Kong sisters. Like Zhao Yazhi and other former Hong Kong sisters, who are slightly famous, they all received invitations from wireless stations to go back to appear.

Just when the 10th Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was in full swing, "Pretty Girl" supervised by McDonald Bear was officially released.

Li Maowen of the Golden Princess Cinema is very optimistic about this reality-themed film, and thinks that it will be good if "Pretty Girl" can last on the screen for seven days, and he has already arranged a film to take over the screening of this movie.

But when the box office statistics came out, Li Maowen was directly dumbfounded, the production cost was only 1.2 million (Wen Bixuan's daughter's salary accounted for 600,000) of the ultra-low-budget movie, which was neither a comedy nor a horror film, and actually sold 960,000 super high box office in the first release.

In another time and space, McDonald Bear left Lishi to produce "Pretty Girl", and there were few optimistic about it at that time, and it was only released in a few theaters of Golden Harvest Cinema Line, without much movie promotion. As a result, due to the extremely high attendance, Golden Harvest Cinemas urgently decided to increase the number of shows for "Pretty Girls". At that time, the films of small film companies were good if they could be released in theaters for a week. was even only screened for 3 days, but "Pretty Girl" relied on its word-of-mouth and box office to be screened in Golden Harvest Cinemas for 21 days, beating all the movies released at the same time.

Now that the producer of "Pretty Girl" has become Oriental DreamWorks, plus Wen Bixuan, Li Meifeng and Li Yanshan are idol stars, the movie has not yet been released and has begun small-scale publicity, and the box office situation will only be better than in the original time and space.

Although affected by the Miss Hong Kong contest, many Hong Kong people stayed at home to watch TV when the beauty pageant was broadcast, but the box office of "Pretty Girl" still reached 5.13 million in the first week. Became the weekly box office champion in Hong Kong.

The box office data rate of the second week declined, and the two-week cumulative box office of "Pretty Girl" reached 8.97 million. Due to the relatively strong stamina of reality-themed movies, "Pretty Girl" was screened in the Golden Princess Cinema for 25 days, and it was not until July 4 that the painting was finally completed, with a total box office of 13.86 million in Hong Kong.

When the final box office of "Pretty Girl" was announced. It immediately caused a sensation in the Hong Kong film industry, and McDonald Bear was also hailed as a new generation of movie geniuses. As for the director of this film, Li Dawei, he has not received much attention, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that the real creator of "Pretty Girl" is McDonald's Bear.

It is estimated that McDonald Bear has been in the TV station for too long, and when he makes movies, he still plays TV series, and the so-called director is just his execution tool. The style and rhythm of the whole film are controlled by McDonald's Bear, the executive producer.

Wen Bixuan played the second female lead in "Pretty Girl", and the real heroine is Li Yanshan. After the big hit of "Pretty Girl", Li Yanshan's salary directly tripled, reaching 450,000 Hong Kong dollars.

in Hong Kong. With a salary of more than 500,000 yuan, she is a top female movie star. Lin Qingxia's salary soared to 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars after the big hit of "Royal Senior Sister", which was because she had a strong overseas box office appeal.

And because Zhao Yazhi has not participated in any blockbuster movies in recent years, her salary is only 400,000. Wen Bixuan's salary at this time was only about 300,000. And she's already made quite a few films.

Li Yanshan has only starred in "Happy Ghost 2", and "Pretty Girl" is the second movie she has starred in. Only in terms of salary. Li Yanshan was originally an actress between the second and third rates, and now she has become a first-line actress.

The entertainment industry is like this, who is popular and who is mediocre is impossible to predict.

At the beginning, Li Saifeng and Wen Bixuan debuted together, and it was obvious that Kang Jianfei helped Wen Bixuan more, but Li Saifeng's salary at this time was almost the same as Zhao Yazhi, and Wen Bixuan had always been half popular and not purple.

But seriously speaking, Li Yanshan's rise to a first-line female movie star is not unfounded. In addition to her performance in "Pretty Girl", it is also because Li Yanshan is beautiful enough.

In the happy girl group, Li Yanshan is the most beautiful and beautiful one, Wen Bixuan and Li Lizhen have to stand aside. This woman is the first Miss Asia beauty pageant champion in parallel space, and the third place in that year is Boba Ye Yuqing.

For Li Yanshan's unexpected popularity, everyone in DreamWorks, including Kang Jianfei, was surprised, because she was not within the star-making plan formulated by DreamWorks this year.

Pan Yingzi held an impromptu meeting and discussed with Ma Qiao before the painting of "Pretty Girl" was completed, and the Propaganda Department cooperated with the Artist Department to make a packaging and publicity plan for Li Yanshan. Not only that, because Li Yanshan is also a signed singer of Fengxing Records, DreamWorks also cooperates with Fengxing Records, and Ji Lu plans to hold the first concert for the Happy Girls group next month.

Holding a concert is not easy, and the Happy Girls Group has held most of the singers' clubs in the past, but this time they will officially perform on stage at the Hong Kong Arts Centre.

The hot sale of "Pretty Girl" also won Kang Jianfei the title of the most discerning investor. Because Kang Jianfei has invested in several reality-themed movies from last year to this year, all of them have sold very well at the box office.

Similarly, "Pretty Girl" has also injected a touch of literature and reality into the Hong Kong film industry, where commercial films are king. Originally, realistic themes and literary films that were not in the eyes of the bosses of various film companies, now Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers have plans to shoot, after all, this kind of film is low cost and easy to win awards. Even if it can't sell at the box office in Hong Kong, if you win the trophy at the Golden Horse Awards, you can also take the opportunity to make a fortune in the Taiwan market.

…………

On June 25, the 10th Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, which received much attention in Hong Kong, ushered in the final.

Pan Lixian, who was originally the most vocal winner of the championship, left the arena gloomily, although she ranked fourth in the score announced at the end of the year, but she did not win any awards. One of the main reasons is that judge Xu Guanwen gave Pan Lixian an ultra-low score.

Xu Guanwen's aesthetic standards have always been very special, and even the most beautiful Hong Kong sister Li Jiaxin is there in Xu Guanwen. can only get a passing grade, so Pan Lixian lost unjustly.

In addition, there is a very popular beauty named Xia Shuling, because it was revealed that she had breast augmentation before the finals, but she was pressed and scored by the judges, and only won a "Most Photogenic Miss" award.

As for Weng Meiling, who Kang Jianfei values, she didn't even enter the top five, and only finished eighth.

After the awards, the collective appearance of the previous Miss Hong Kong celebrities made the atmosphere of the scene reach the most.

A few families are happy and a few are sad. The lights on the stage are not destined to belong to the losers. The unsuccessful Hong Kong sisters left the scene gloomily, changed their clothes in the dressing room, and left the TV station with low expressions.

Weng Meiling carried her bag and followed several other unsuccessful beauties downstairs, but when she walked to the door, she saw a luxury car coming. The window in the back seat of the car slowly lowered, and a man in the middle smiled and waved at the beauties.

One of the beauties who failed to be selected as Miss Hong Kong was originally depressed. After seeing the man, he suddenly got into the car with a smile and kissed and kissed the middle-aged man on the face.

"Shameless **!" A failed Hong Kong sister beside Weng Meiling cursed disdainfully.

The entertainment industry has never been pure, and the glamorous and glamorous on the surface cannot hide Yīn's secret **. For example, when Weng Meiling was running for Miss Hong Kong, she received an invitation to a dinner and heard all kinds of gossip and rumors.

But that doesn't mean that celebrities are all bitches. The so-called transactions between wealthy businessmen and actresses are also divided into several types.

Take the early 80s, for example:

The first kind of transaction is a dinner, when the rich bosses have dinner and talk about business, they call actresses to accompany them to drink to increase their face. The position of the actress in it is equivalent to that of a wine girl, and this kind of dinner generally does not involve xìng. transactions. Third-rate actresses can get one or two thousand yuan at a time for wine, and first-line actresses can get thirty or fifty thousand.

For actresses who have no connections and backers, this kind of wine is the most cost-effective, and there is no need to sell **. You can also make a lot of money, if you are lucky enough to meet an investor who is willing to spend money. You can also get advertising appointments and even movie appointments.

The second type of transaction is long-term ownership. Rich people contribute a sum of money, and make it clear in advance that they will be "friends" for a year or several years, how many times they will see each other at least every month, and so on.

The third type of transaction is a ** transaction of xìng, which can be regarded as a high-level jì woman. Top actresses would never do such a thing unless they were forced to do so.

Relatively speaking, second- and third-rate starlets are the main body of various transactions, and first-line actresses avoid this kind of thing, except for a few money worshippers, for fear that they will ruin their reputation.

Weng Meiling stood at the gate of the TV station, and the familiar beauty asked, "Ah Weng, aren't you leaving?" ”

"I told Shuling to go together, and I have to wait for her for a while." Weng Meiling said with a smile. The Shuling in her mouth is the Xia Shuling who was exposed to breast augmentation, and the two are the best friends to talk to.

A few years later, Xia Shuling attempted suicide by falling out of love, and Weng Meiling said in an interview: "If I fell out of love, I wouldn't be so stupid, because a man who no longer loves me and committed suicide." ”

A year after Weng Meiling said this, she committed suicide by turning on the gas herself......

That was not to be mentioned, and said that Weng Meiling was waiting for her friend to come down. didn't wait long, Zhao Yazhi, who was dressed in an evening dress, walked behind her and said, "Hello Miss Weng." ”

"Miss Zhao! Are you talking to me? Weng Meiling was surprised and delighted, although she has been staying in the UK, in the past few months since she returned to Hong Kong, she has already known Zhao Yazhi's fame and status in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Zhao Yazhi nodded and smiled: "My house is in the apartment next door, is Miss Weng interested in going up and sitting?" ”

If a strange man said such things at night, Weng Meiling's reaction would be to report it directly, but Zhao Yazhi's invitation would not make people feel the slightest bit nervous.

Jǐng Ti is not, but Weng Meiling's curiosity is great, she doesn't understand that she was a small Miss Hong Kong, why would Zhao Yazhi invite her to her home as a guest.

Weng Meiling hesitated for a few seconds, and then agreed to Zhao Yazhi's invitation, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her, who is still a pink newcomer in the entertainment industry.

The two walked for less than ten minutes, and they had already arrived at Zhao Yazhi's house, Zhao Yazhi hung up his handbag and said, "Sit casually." What to drink? ”

Weng Meiling looked at the room and said politely, "A glass of boiling water." ”

Zhao Yazhi poured a glass of water over, looked at Weng Meiling with a suspicious face and asked, "Miss Weng is very strange why I am looking for you, right?" ”

Weng Meiling nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that we are meeting for the first time tonight." ”

Zhao Yazhi explained: "Actually, it's not that I'm looking for you, but that there is another person who values you very much. That person knows that I'm going to go to the finals of Miss Hong Kong tonight, so let me contact you. ”

Weng Meiling felt more and more strange and asked, "Who is the person that Miss Zhao is talking about?" ”

Zhao Yazhi didn't answer, but asked: "Did TVB say that it would sign a contract with you?" ”

"Not yet?" Weng Meiling shook her head, she won the eighth place of Sister Hong Kong, and she has no obligations as Sister Hong Kong, and TVB can sign her or not.

Zhao Yazhi smiled and asked: "Are you interested in signing in to Lishi to be an actor?" ”

Weng Meiling's brain felt a little insufficient, Zhao Yazhi was obviously the leader of the wireless station, and actually asked her if she was willing to sign a contract to go to Lishi.

Weng Meiling was still in a daze, the door outside had been opened, she turned her head to look at it, and said in surprise: "You are ...... The Mr. Kang in the newspaper who bought Lishi? ”

Kang Jianfei was also very surprised when he saw Weng Meiling, and asked Zhao Yazhi: "Why did you bring her back?" ”

Zhao Yazhi glanced at him and said, "It's so late, if you don't bring it home to talk about things, do you have to go to the café in the middle of the night?" ”

"Okay, I said the wrong thing," Kang Jianfei walked over and sat down next to Zhao Yazhi, and asked Weng Meiling, "Miss Weng, are you interested in joining Lishi?" ”

"Kang...... Mr. Kang, why do you want to sign me? Weng Meiling felt like she was dreaming. Among the beauties of this year's Miss Hong Kong, there are several who are more beautiful than her, and she is also the shortest of all the contestants, and she is not even sure if she can sign a contract with TVB, so she really can't figure out whether Kang Jianfei chose her.

Kang Jianfei smiled: "I have always been very accurate in looking at people, and among this year's Hong Kong sisters, only you have the most star potential." If you are willing to sign into Lishi, you will go to the TV station tomorrow to report. However, the contract cannot be signed for the time being, because Lishi is about to change its name, and the old contract will be replaced. ”

Weng Meiling nodded quickly like a chicken pecking rice, for fear that Kang Jianfei would change her mind if she slowed down.

Zhao Yazhi saw that he was done, and then asked Kang Jianfei: "Ah Fei, the day after tomorrow, Phoenix TV will be unveiled and cut the ribbon, should I participate?" ”

Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Forget it, save that Boss Shao from being angry with Manager Fang, saying that you eat inside and outside." ”

"What eats inside and crawls outside, it's hard to hear." Zhao Yazhi gave Kang Jianfei two powder punches in amusement.

Weng Meiling saw the two of them in front of her, and then she thought in hindsight: It turns out that Miss Zhao is Mr. Kang's girlfriend, no wonder she came forward to invite me upstairs.
