"Hurry up, hurry up. It's about to start!"
Outside Taiping Theater, before a taxi could stop, Zhou Huimin was pulled to the theater gate by her good friend Yaqin.
Both of them have now taken the entrance examination. They both failed without any suspense and became the pride of heaven. Yaqin pulled Zhou Huimin to sign up for the Miss Oriental beauty pageant some time ago, but unfortunately she didn't even enter the semi-finals and was eliminated not long after the primary election.
As for Zhou Huimin, although she was no longer the fat girl in junior high school, she became a graceful lady, she really lost points every day with her rustic black-framed glasses.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Huimin is thin-skinned. She is not used to walking around in swimsuits in full view of the crowd, so she automatically quit before the semi-finals.
Phoenix Channel's "The Voice of China" is the third season this year. Zhou Huimin thinks singing is suitable for him, so he is ready to find a job to make a living and sign up for the Voice of China in the second half of the year.
The two girls ran to the theater quickly. Tonight was the second Miss Oriental final, and their tickets were obtained for free. There were only 32 contestants in the semi-finals, and the beauties who lost the election did not win nothing. The beauties who ranked in the top 100 could get a ticket to the semi-finals and finals for free.
Of course, this kind of free ticket is definitely not a good location. After Zhou Huimin and Yaqin checked the tickets, they sat down in the middle of the third floor of the theater. Looking at the stage below at this location, they could no longer see the faces on the stage clearly, and it would be better to watch TV at home.
At this time, the live broadcast camera of Phoenix Station was shooting towards the judges. Liu Zhirong, the master of the competition, introduced one by one: "Welcome to the judges of the second Miss Oriental Competition, Mr. He Hongsen, Mr. Chen Yongping, Miss Zhao Yazhi, Mr. Jin Cheng..."
Liu Zhirong is a gold medal host and famous actor of Phoenix TV. He joined the then Lishi more than ten years ago. He has never left Phoenix TV until now. He can be said to be an old employee who is proud of his career. Moreover, this person is still a patriot of the Party with a red heart. He has joined the South China Film Workers Federation (Left Film Association) and often participates in some left-wing movies of the Yindu Agency.
With such work qualifications and political tendencies, after Kang Jianfei became the boss of the TV station, Liu Zhirong received a certain degree of preferential treatment, and at this time he served as the deputy leader of the Phoenix TV variety show team.
Previously, the large-scale events of DreamWorks and Phoenix TV were basically hosted by the hosts of popular new programs. However, because Zheng Zeshi changed jobs, Zhang Marie became pregnant, and Zhou Xingchi made a movie, this beauty pageant final could only capture Liu Zhirong and then match him with Mao Shunyun as a partner, and they would host the entire final, one man and one woman would host.
The camera lens was facing He Hongsen's face. It stayed for three seconds before turning to the cultural celebrity next to him, and then Zhao Yazhi, with soft makeup, came into the camera.
After all the ten judges were introduced, as the exciting music started, the 16 final beauties and their dance partners entered the venue one by one.
Unlike this year's Miss Hong Kong finals, Miss Oriental is much more dynamic and hot, and each beauties are dancing the most popular breakdancing nowadays in a good manner.
Breakdancing has a history of decades in the United States. For example, Bruce Lee was a master of street dance back then. But after the release of "Lightning Dance" the spring of the previous year, a "back-spin" dance action in the film caused a sensation in the United States, plus Michael Jackson's space step is famous all over the world, and several American movies last year and street dance appeared in TV series. Breakdancing once again whirlwind, and this trend had already spread to Hong Kong at the end of last year.
Nowadays, you can often see a group of naughty children holding a recorder on the streets of Hong Kong, rolling all over the ground with a dynamic rhythm.
In order to achieve the stage effect, Phoenix Station directly invited the American Rolling Stones - a dance team that invented street dance movements such as back spinning. With the accompanying dance team of professional dancers, these beauty pageants who have worked hard for several months actually just do some simple movements according to the beats. They can achieve very cool visual effects.
"Aoah..."
The audience at Taiping Cinema was filled with wolf howlings. The boy who made these sounds was not cheering for the beauty, but paying tribute to the dancers of the Rolling Stone Team on the stage.
The Rolling Stones will appear in the finals, which is also one of the promotional selling points of this Miss Oriental final. After learning the news, many street dancers who love street dance will have to get a ticket to the East Sister final even if they steal money from their parents, because the Rolling Stones are a god-like existence for street dance enthusiasts at this time.
Phoenix Station spent a lot of money on this. Although it only costs US$200,000 plus round-trip flight tickets, it is more than HK$1.7 million. If it is replaced by TVB, it is absolutely impossible to pay this money in vain.
The facts proved that the money was very cost-effective. The Miss Oriental final was more lively, gorgeous and eye-catching than the Miss Hong Kong final.
The appearance dance designed by the Rolling Stones is very professional, with vigorous dance moves dancing, but it does not announce the soldiers to seize the main and take away the attention. The beauty pageant only does a few movements, which is vaguely the center of the whole dance. In this way, the fashion and dynamics of all beauties will be shown, and the conservative Hong Kong people will not feel deviant.
"It's awesome," Yaqinist held his cheek and watched the dancing below, muttering to himself, "I'd better if I were on stage now."
Zhou Huimin smiled and said, "What's the point? You don't feel embarrassed when you walk around in swimsuits and high heels in Hong Kong people?"
Yaqin retorted: "What's so shameful? Last time I went to Stanley Bay, didn't you run around in your swimsuit?"
Zhou Huimin explained: "That's different. Swimming is swimming, and beauty pageants need to be on TV."
"Hey, why didn't Mr. Kang appear?" Yaqin was Kang Jianfei's super fan. She looked towards the first floor of the theater and searched around for a long time but couldn't find Kang Jianfei's back. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
...
Unlike Shao Yifu's emphasis on Miss Hong Kong events, Kang Jianfei was not very concerned about the Miss Oriental beauty pageant. It was enough to have Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui's two TV managers present.
The most important thing is that Kang Jianfei is in a bad mood now.
Before the finals began, Kang Jianfei had another lunch at the He family. One was to discuss the future business issues of Macau TV, and the other was the indescribable relationship between Kang Jianfei and He Chaoqiong.
In another time and space, He Hongsen was very open-minded about the marriages of his younger daughters. Even if his daughter found a grassroots man to defeat him, she would not interfere. However, this attitude mostly came from He Chaoqiong's failed marriage.
He Chaoqiong's first love was singer Danny Chan. This relationship ended due to the strong opposition of the He family. A few years later, she fell in love with Zhang Guorong again, but He Hongsen was still dissatisfied and forced to match his daughter with the rich son Xu Jingheng, the reason was naturally that she was a match.
In fact, except for his wealth at home and good relationship with his father, Xu Jingheng is not alone. Apart from his superb skills in picking up girls, his other abilities can only be considered careless. Although he is not a second-generation prodigal son, he will never have too many talents.
He Hongsen looked down on the young singer Chen Baiqiang. After hearing that his daughter had an ambiguous relationship with Kang Jianfei, he recognized Kang Jianfei as his son-in-law. There are three reasons: First, Kang Jianfei is capable and earned a lot of family business from scratch, and he is considered a match with the He family. Second, Kang Jianfei is not bad and is of the same age as He Chaoqiong, and the two are quite compatible. Third, Hong Kong has been confirmed to return, and Macau has also reported that China-Portuguese negotiations are coming, and He Hongsen has made preparations for the Great Dad.
Lu approached. He couldn't marry the children of mainland bureaucrats directly. The best way to curry favor with GCD was to marry the little Macau king. Unfortunately, he had already made a marriage with the Hong Kong Huo family. The two red capital families had no share in He Hongsen. After choosing and choosing, Kang Jianfei had a good relationship with the mainland. I heard that he had visited Beijing several times, and the food company opened with the Ye family's children gradually surfaced. He Hongsen finally locked his son-in-law on Kang Jianfei.
During lunch today, He Hongsen mentioned the marriage directly or impliedly, which roughly means that if he drags on, He Chaoqiong's belly is too big and not good-looking.
Kang Jianfei has a strange temper and has no limit when he is insidious, but he has some basic principles in life. That is, he never cheats his friends and takes on the responsibilities he deserves.
If He Chaoqiong has no children in his belly, no matter what He Hongsen says, Kang Jianfei will not be able to miss him, but the problem is that he has made his daughter's belly bigger!
When Kang Jianfei faced He Hongsen, he could only kick the ball to He Chaoqiong perfunctorily. Because he knew that He Chaoqiong didn't mean to get married, he said to He Hongsen: "Mr. He, I like your daughter very much, but the problem is that she doesn't like me. It was a mistake between us, but we were confused and we had something that shouldn't have happened. I regretted what I did and was completely willing to take responsibility to the end. The problem is that Miss He is unwilling to let me take responsibility..."
Thinking of the lunch, Kang Jianfei felt a chill. He threw the two scripts to Zhang Guorong and Wang Shuxian respectively, and said while drinking tea: "This "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a costume drama to be released in the Spring Festival. Rong Zai, you are a down-and-out scholar... Take the script back and study it carefully. This drama will start filming in at most a month. When the special effects model is ready, it will start filming."
Wang Chuxian opened the script and looked at it a few times. Happiness came too suddenly, which made her feel a little unreal. She asked Kang Jianfei to prove: "I really play the leading female role?"
"What do you think?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.
Wang Shuxian looked at the smile on Kang Jianfei's face, and remembered the words Weng Meiling usually joked and various scandals about Kang Jianfei. The uneasiness and expectation in his heart were mixed together and could not be suppressed. (To be continued...)
ps: I was forced to take the civil service exam by my girlfriend some time ago. I said that I had passed the civil service exam in the first half of the year, so I asked me to take the public institution first. Lao Wang reviewed for a whole month, but he didn't update yesterday because he lost his degree certificate and diploma. As a result, I just signed up online last night. When I came back today, I saw on the on-board TV that all public institutions have become contract workers...
