Chen Shuli knocked on the door and walked into the office and said: "Boss, there was a call from Phoenix TV just now, saying that the ratings statistics of the beauty pageant finals have been released. The highest ratings of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant finals are 48%, TVB TVB..."
"It's higher, right?" Kang Jianfei asked with a smile.
Seeing that Kang Jianfei didn't seem unhappy, Chen Shuli said, "Yes, the highest ratings for the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant final was 51%."
Kang Jianfei nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's already very good. I can compete with the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant and only lose a few percentage points."
The ratings of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant final were lost to Miss Hong Kong. It would be a lie to say that Kang Jianfei was not disappointed, but he did not have too many regrets about the result.
After all, Miss Hong Kong has been held for more than ten years and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in Hong Kong. It is really difficult to defeat the opponent with only a few months of hype.
You must know that the ratings of last year's Miss Hong Kong finals were close to 80%. This year, the ratings were lowered by 30 points due to Miss Oriental. It can be said that Phoenix TV has a brilliant record.
In the original time and space, Qiu Degen's Miss Asia beauty pageant was also miserably suppressed by Miss Hong Kong in the first year. Until the second edition, the finals were moved to Queen's Square, using garden houses as prizes to attract the audience's attention.
Thanks to the public opinion topic created by Lizhi, the Asian sister that year barely overshadowed the Hong Kong sister.
Moreover, the current TV ratings statistics are very problematic. Whether it is Phoenix TV or TVB statistics, there is a lot of water in them. They can only be used as a reference. As long as the data are not too different, there is no need to go too far.
Be more sincere.
Chen Shuli continued: "Manager Zhong is going to hold an on-site award ceremony for the Miss Oriental Champion. He asked you if you want to attend in person the day after tomorrow."
"Go. Of course I want to go." Kang Jianfei said with a smile. Only by going can he show that he attaches great importance to the Miss Oriental beauty pageant.
"Then I'll reply now and let them make some arrangements." After Chen Shuli finished speaking, she left the office and called the TV station.
Although Phoenix Channel lost 3 percentage points in ratings for this beauty pageant, it did not lose in terms of social attention.
Currently, there are more than ten newspapers on Kang Jianfei's desk. For example, the relatively neutral "Ming Pao" directly uses the beauty pageant as a special topic and devotes an entire page to reporting on the grand finals of Miss Hong Kong and Miss Oriental.
Of course, Miss Hong Kong was reported before Miss Oriental. This is mainly due to two reasons. First, Miss Hong Kong has a deeper background, and second, Jin Yong and Shao Yifu have a close personal relationship.
But in terms of coverage, the two beauty pageants are evenly matched.
"Ming Pao" quoted TVB's promotional slogan and praised Gao Lihong as a modern woman who "combines Chinese and Western elements to exude the beauty of Hong Kong", embodying the charming style of Hong Kong's international metropolis. Also known as Lizhi, she is the most female in this year's beauty pageant.
A charming and perfect woman, Qiu Huixin is a typical example of a good wife and mother, possessing both traditional and modern feminine beauty.
While praising today's Miss Hong Kong for their bold innovation, "Ming Pao" also asked professionals to comment on Miss Oriental's clothing, hairstyle, jewelry and other details, praising Miss Oriental for leading the fashion trend in Hong Kong.
"Ming Pao" really didn't open its eyes and tell lies. After the Miss Oriental beauty pageant finals were broadcast, countless female viewers immediately called Phoenix TV to ask where to buy the clothes worn by the contestants.
agnes_b., the clothing sponsor of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, took the opportunity to advertise on two TV stations and hired the top three Miss Oriental contestants as spokespersons. In just a few days, clothing sales more than tripled.
Barber shops in Hong Kong also organize hairstylists to learn the hairstyles of beauty pageants, hoping to capitalize on this trend to gain business.
In comparison, the Miss Hong Kong finals were much worse in terms of fashion trends.
The sailor, stewardess and nurse uniforms worn by the Hong Kong sisters at the beginning are indeed refreshing and extremely tempting, but it is impossible for ordinary women to wear pink nurse uniforms on the streets, right?
The hairstyles of the Hong Kong beauties are also unflattering. Gao Lihong had an explosive lion head perm. The hairstyles of other beauties were also done by hairstylists under TVB, which were not much better than those in ordinary barber shops.
Because of this, although the Miss Oriental beauty pageant lost to Miss Hong Kong in ratings, the subsequent attention has faintly surpassed that of Miss Hong Kong.
In the past few days, fashion and women's magazines in Hong Kong have reported extensively on the styles of Miss Oriental beauties, and there are already signs of a fashion trend in Hong Kong.

…
July 8, 1984.
Kang Jianfei will fly to the capital in a few days, and Zeng Bolin has already helped him complete all the procedures.
"Flag Soldiers", which has been in theaters for 20 days, has already earned 14.87 million at the box office. It has finally been released by Oriental Cinemas and will be screened in small theaters with low-cost copies.
The box office figure of 14.87 million has already exceeded the box office of "The Flag Soldiers of Province and Hong Kong" in the original time and space, which surprised even Kang Jianfei.
As for why the box office of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" is 4 million more than the original film, the reason is actually very simple. That is, the original film was released during the hottest summer season, and it coincided with "Happy Ghost" and other good films.
, virtually diluting its box office.
Not only that, due to the tight summer film schedule of Jiahe Cinema, the "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" in the original time and space had a pretty good attendance rate two weeks after its release, but it had to make room for subsequent films, so that
The film was hastily released after the box office had just exceeded 10 million.
Now it is completely different. Kang Jianfei arranged for "The Flag Soldiers of Province and Hong Kong" to be released before the summer vacation, avoiding competitive movies from other theaters. And because the audience of "The Flag Soldiers of Province and Hong Kong" is not mainly students.
, so this move not only did not cause the loss of potential audiences, but also greatly increased the box office due to its unique performance. In addition,
It can be seen from this that a proper film scheduling plan can really significantly increase the box office of a movie.
The sensation caused by "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" in Hong Kong is not only that it became the box office champion in June. The most popular topic in Hong Kong during this period, in addition to the two beauty contests, was the so-called "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" and the Chinese
British negotiations.
Because at the end of May, China finally formally proposed the "one country, two systems" policy in written form in the "Government Work Report". This was a reassurance for many Hong Kong business people, and the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index immediately dropped from 700 within a month.
The points rose to more than 800 points.
Coupled with the exposure of a visiting delegation from Hong Kong's business community to Beijing, Sino-British negotiations once again attracted public attention, and "Hong Kong Flag Soldiers", which reflected mainlanders going to Hong Kong to commit crimes, was naturally hyped because it was close to reality and politics.
"Flag Soldiers of the Province and Hong Kong" was actually released on July 4, that is, two weeks after it was released, and the number of performances was gradually reduced due to the decline in attendance. The vacant canvas was arranged to screen "Happy Ghost 5", this "Happy Ghost"
Most of the heroines in "Ghost" are newcomers, including Shi Hui's daughter Fu Mingxian and Chen Xiuwen's sister Chen Jialing. The director is still McDonagh, who directed "Happy Ghost 4".
The box office performance of "Happy Ghost 5" was not very good. The original novelty of the "Happy Ghost" series has faded away. Many of the jokes have gradually become boring.
In other words, the potential of the "Happy Ghost" series has been exhausted, and it will be difficult to make any big achievements if it continues to be filmed. The production department has already considered canceling the filming plan for "Happy Ghost 6".
Fortunately, it is the summer season, and countless students have contributed a lot of box office to "Happy Ghost 5". After all, there is no better youth campus comedy in Hong Kong than "Happy Ghost".
"Happy Ghost 5" was released for one week. It successfully took in a box office of 6.81 million. The figures are not ugly. After all, the movie was only released in 10 theaters at the beginning, and the remaining theaters of Oriental Cinemas were still screening "Provincial and Hong Kong"
"Flag Soldier".
But by the time "Happy Ghost" reached its eleventh day of release, its attendance rate had dropped to around 60%, clearly showing a lack of stamina.
At the same time, Shaw Brothers, which is about to cease production, is still making its final struggles. Its summer hit film "30 Virgins" has been officially released.
It's very funny to say that the director of "30 Virgins" is Chen You and the editor is Zhang Jianting, and the two of them also starred in the film as the leading actor and the first supporting actor - they are both contracted artists under Kang Jianfei.
As for Shaw Brothers' own directors, many of them have left or are preparing to leave Shaw Brothers. The remaining ones are just hanging around and waiting to die, barely making some movies that can't sell at the box office and deceiving themselves.
"Happy Ghost 5" can last for another week at most. By then Kang Jianfei has returned from the capital, and it will be "Love Saint"'s turn to show off its magic.
But this is all a story for later, "Happy Ghost 5" has only been released for a week now. Kang Jianfei still has to attend the on-site award ceremony of the Miss Oriental champion.
…
Outside a garden villa on Hilford Road in Hong Kong, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, and reporters from more than 50 media had already gathered.
Because today, Kang Jianfei is going to hand over the keys to this villa and a car inside, as well as a cash check of 50,000 yuan to Lizhi in front of many reporters.
Hilford Road is close to Waterloo Road and Oxford Road. The latter two roads are famous villa areas in Hong Kong. Although the value of the villas on Hilford Road is slightly lower, they are considered to be very valuable.
Although housing prices in Hong Kong are super cheap now, the three-storey garden villas on Hilford Road are still out of reach for working-class people. In the past, no matter how expensive housing prices were in Hong Kong, working-class people could still buy a house with a loan. Nowadays, major
Banks are also having a hard time. Several banks have been taken over by the government. It is very difficult for ordinary people to find banks for loans.
And now a miracle is happening. A mainland girl who was originally penniless can get a bungalow through a beauty pageant. This will definitely make countless Hong Kong citizens talk about it (with jealousy).
"Coming, coming! That Cadillac is Mr. Kang's car." A sharp-eyed reporter shouted.
Before the car could stop, reporters rushed to grab interview seats and surrounded the Cadillac.
Liu Fei, who was tall and powerful, was wearing a suit and looked majestic. He got out of the car first and pushed the reporter away to make room for Kang Jianfei.
"Mr. Kang, you said you want to make a movie about the beauty pageant winner. When will the movie start shooting?"
"I heard that there is a shady secret behind the beauty pageant. Can Mr. Kang explain why the heartthrob Qiu Huixin did not win the championship?"
"Mr. Kang, what do you think about Sister East's ratings losing to Sister Hong Kong?"
"..."
Kang Jianfei kept smiling and said nothing, and was escorted by Liu Fei and Zhu Zhenguo to the villa smoothly.
Not long after, Jinghui and others arrived, and then everyone stood waiting in front of the villa gate. They waited for more than ten minutes, and even the East Sister champion Lizhi was not seen.
"No matter how he flew, he was late to receive the award. This Limei man must have too much arrogance."
"That's how mainlanders are. When a villain succeeds, he becomes arrogant. When he becomes a beauty pageant champion, he becomes a big name."
"Dozens of people are waiting for her. Lizhi is really capable."
"..."
The reporters have begun to talk about it, expressing their dissatisfaction with Lizhi from time to time. If they were asked to wait for people with status like Kang Jianfei, Shao Yifu, and Zou Wenhuai, these reporters could wait for a day, but Lizhi, a mainlander who just took office
My sister doesn't get this kind of treatment.
What's more, although there are many people praising Lizzie these days, there are also many people who are sarcastic and insulting her. Just being a mainland girl is enough for Hong Kong people to despise her.
On the cusp of such a storm, Lizhi actually dared to act like a big star. She was simply seeking her own death.
Of course Lizhi is not that stupid. Today's lateness is just a deliberate arrangement by the company and is part of the subsequent hype.
After everyone waited for nearly 40 minutes, a luxury car from Oriental Entertainment Company drove into the villa, and when the car windows were rolled down, Lizhi's beautiful face was revealed.
In the surprised eyes of all the reporters, Kang Jianfei quickly walked over and opened the car door. Then Lizhi stretched out a long leg and got out of the luxury car very proudly. The expensive clothes she was wearing at this time were also agnes_b. Special
It was given as a gift, and it was full of jewels and charm, blinding the reporters.
"Click, click, click..."
Reporters' cameras recorded this scene. A beauty pageant champion made the boss of a film company stand and wait for 40 minutes. In the end, the boss lowered his status and opened the door for her. This was definitely a big news.
After this news spreads, I am afraid that next year's Miss Oriental beauty pageant will attract Hong Kong beauties to flock to it.
Because Kang Jianfei is deliberately creating an atmosphere, which is to imply to everyone that once he becomes the Miss Oriental beauty pageant champion, he will have all the fame, wealth and status, a typical story of Cinderella turning into Snow White.
Several staff members came over with trays in hand. Kang Jianfei picked up the two sets of keys on the red silk tray, handed them to Lizhi's hands, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Miss Li."
"Thank you!" Lizhi said with a smile on her face.
After handing over the keys to the villa and car, the two held up a large sign symbolizing a check of 50,000 yuan, hugging each other and posing for reporters to take photos. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to
