This year's Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant was held as scheduled, but the ratings were not very satisfactory. The main reason was that Qiu Shuzhen, the original most popular beauty pageant, withdrew from the competition early, which made all the publicity resources spent on her in the early stage in vain.
What’s more, this year’s Miss Hong Kong side has made a sudden effort, and a series of reforms can be described as drastic. The three-point formula used in the Miss Hong Kong final is still a hot topic among Hong Kong citizens.
One after the other, the Miss Hong Kong and Miss Eastern beauty pageant finals were only seven days apart. The ratings of the former were 8 percentage points higher than the latter. Miss Eastern's defeat was relatively straightforward.
However, losing the ratings of the finals is not the end of the competition between the two beauty pageants this year. The development of the respective winners in the next year is the key to best reflecting the influence of the beauty pageants.
If this year’s East Sister champion develops much better than the Hong Kong Sister champion in the future, then losing the ratings in the finals is nothing, it’s just that they won’t be able to earn more advertising fees.
TVB's Miss Hong Kong champion Yang Baoling has high hopes. Not only has she continuously participated in various charity activities, she has also filmed several commercials one after another. After that, she will conduct various trainings to prepare for the next Miss World and Miss Universe beauty pageants.
From this point of view, Miss Oriental is obviously not up to a level and cannot represent Hong Kong in the world's beauty pageants. However, this is a good thing for the contestants. They can take advantage of the beauty pageant's popularity to participate in TV series.
Don't worry about so many messy things.
After Qiu Shuzhen withdrew from the beauty pageant, Lin Yingxian got her wish and won the Miss Oriental crown. The day after the pageant ended, she announced her participation in a new drama produced by East TV Company.
However, Hong Kong citizens are more interested in Qiu Shuzhen, who has withdrawn from the competition, because Qiu Shuzhen released her childhood photos to several media to prove that her chin is natural.
If Qiu Shuzhen had not withdrawn from the competition, then her move would not only fail to prove her innocence, but would also smear her innocence. Now Qiu Shuzhen has withdrawn from the competition in a hot manner, and then took out a few childhood photos, which immediately caused a stir
gained the sympathy of countless people.
The human heart is like this. The same action under different circumstances will produce completely different results.
Just when people were talking about this, Oriental Entertainment Brokerage Company announced the signing of Qiu Shuzhen, and East TV Company also stated that it would invite Qiu Shuzhen to film a TV series.
This seems to be a happy ending for everyone, and it also makes the Miss Oriental competition, which is not as popular as Miss Hong Kong, once again occupy people's attention.
Regardless of the beauty pageant thing, Hong Kong's summer movie schedule is still going on. After "Fang Fang" is released, DreamWorks will take over the production of Huang Tailai's "Jiang Hu", as for Wang Jing's "The Best Friend"
3》is arranged later.
Because at Golden Harvest Cinema, Hung Kam-bo's "Eastern Condor" was behind the screen. The next release was Cheng Long's "Plan A 3". In order to avoid "Best Friend 3" from colliding with Cheng Long's film,
Oriental Cinema chose the principle of track and field horse racing and used "The Love of Rivers and Lakes" to pit the lower horse against the upper horse.
Cheng Long is still so great. At the beginning of the year, his movie "Brothers and Tigers" took in more than 30 million yuan at the box office, and now this movie "Plan A 3" has made more than 30 million yuan at the box office. He has the box office of two movies by himself.
, which is already equivalent to the combined box office of all Debao Film Company’s films last year.
What is surprising is that DreamWorks and Oriental Cinemas were not optimistic about "The Love of Rivers and Lakes", which was selected to compete with the "Shanghai". They thought that under the pressure of "Plan A 3", "The Love of Rivers and Lakes"
A box office of more than 10 million is considered qualified. Who would have thought that this film actually beat Lam Lingdong's "The Legend of the Dragon" and Eric Tsang's "Happy No Words". It took in a box office of 21.01 million in one go.
In particular, "The Legend of the Dragon" and "The Love of Rivers and Lakes" competed most fiercely. One was a prison film and the other was a river and lake film. The protagonist of both films was Zhou Runfa, and the box office difference between them was less than 2 million.
Some people are happy while others are sad. The comedy film "Happy Speechless" produced by Zeng Zhiwei's good friend film company, while several other films released at the same time were selling well, its box office was only over 7 million.
The filmmaker was extremely worried.
Fortunately, there are overseas box office profits that can be earned back. Eric Tsang can only comfort himself in this way. This is also an excuse for many Hong Kong directors and producers to comfort themselves.
After receiving a box office of 21.01 million, "Love in the Rivers and Lakes" has successfully completed its mission. Later, "Best Friend 3" directed by Wang Jing also performed well, with Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Guorong, Guan Zhilin, Ye Zimei and others joining the cast.
It earned a box office of 28.17 million very easily.
Throughout the summer, the best-performing company was DreamWorks, with "Fang Fang" having a box office of 41.82 million, "Jiang Hu" having a box office of 21.01 million, and "Best Friend 3" having a box office of 28.17 million. The total box office of the three films was 91 million.
.
Followed by Golden Harvest Pictures, "Oriental Condor" has a box office of 21.6 million, "Plan A 3" has a box office of 32.09 million, and "Dragon Tiger" has a box office of 16.52 million. The total box office of the three movies is 70.21 million.
The remaining Debao Film Company's total summer box office is 55.14 million, and Xinyi City's summer total box office is only 49.03 million.
New Art City's performance this summer was not only far behind DreamWorks and Golden Harvest, but it was actually not as good as Pan Disheng's Debao Film Company.
As soon as the summer vacation ended, Huang Baiming announced that he would withdraw his shares from Xinyi City and establish a new company, Vientiane Pictures Co., Ltd. In the new company, Huang Baiming will exclusively own 20% of the shares, and the remaining 80% of the shares will belong to Lei Juekun's Kowloon Construction Industry
all.
People in the industry were not surprised by Huang Baiming's departure. In the original equity distribution of Xinyi City, Huang Baiming only had a pitiful 9% of the shares, while Shi Tian had 19%, and the remaining 72% was owned by the Cinema Film Company.
(The movie theater company Mecca holds 49%, and Lei Juekun holds 51% absolute control).
Huang Baiming's role in Xinyi City is obvious to all. He has done the most things with the fewest shares. He can only be a ghost if he doesn't get emotional.
However, the media was very surprised by Huang Baiming's behavior of starting a new business, and then started digging into the situation of Xinyi City.
Putting aside the separation of the New Arts City, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei, who were working at DreamWorks, also changed jobs at the end of the summer. They all went to Deng Guangrong's Da Rong Film Company, and with the help of Liu Zhenwei, they changed their names to Yingzhijie Production Company.
.
Liu Zhenwei stayed at DreamWorks for a short time, but his ability was very strong. It only took him more than a year to become a creative backbone. Unfortunately, this person is also a boss who is unwilling to be subordinated to others, and would rather go to Deng Guangrong's small company
Being a general manager is not as far away as staying in a big company like DreamWorks as the head of the planning department.
Also switching jobs with Liu Zhenwei was Wang Jiawei. This guy joined DreamWorks with Chen Xunqi. Not long after joining the company, he got involved with Liu Zhenwei. Liu Zhenwei encouraged him to hand in his resignation letter.

Causeway Bay Red Leaf Club.
Ye Laosan crossed his legs, smoked a cigarette and said to Kang Jianfei: "Brother, do you feel that the Hong Kong stock market is a little abnormal recently?"
Kang Jianfei took a bite of the pear peeled by the waitress and asked, "Did you spend money on it?"
"Several friends are stock traders, but I don't understand that stuff. So I just spent hundreds of thousands to have fun," Ye Laosan said, "In just a few months, I have almost doubled my hundreds of thousands.
"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Isn't it good to make money?"
Ye Laosan shook his head and said: "I feel weird. Especially since the price has been rising more and more fiercely in the past two months. There is no such thing as a free lunch. I think it may collapse one day."
"Then let's get out of the market while it's still rising." Kang Jianfei didn't make any predictions about Black Monday.
In fact, the abnormality of the stock market is very famous. Even people who are not very knowledgeable like Ye Laosan can see it. Those traders and senior investors who have been in the stock market for decades are not aware of it? Or they are deceiving themselves and thinking that it is impossible for the stock market to be good.
If it crashes, or it feels that the rise has not reached the end yet, and is reluctant to sell the stock immediately.
There are very few people who can really make up their mind to make the right choice. The vast majority of people will not shed tears until they see the coffin.
The two were chatting when suddenly the door of the private room was pushed open and a waitress said: "Boss Ye, Mr. Kang, Mr. Ge is here."
Kang Jianfei and Ye Laosan looked at each other and stood up together to greet him.
An old man in his fifties or sixties came in at the door. This man was Ge Zhixiong, the nominal leader of 14k. He wore a pair of glasses and walked slowly, without any sign of being a member of the gang.
Ge Hongsheng was following Ge Zhixiong. When he saw Kang Jianfei, he just narrowed his eyes and did not show anything unusual.
Kang Jianfei held Ge Zhixiong's hand and said with a hearty smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xiong, for the honor. You are always a rare visitor."
"Don't call me Mr. Xiong. I'm a businessman now, but I can't bear this title." Ge Zhixiong said with a smile.
"Then I'll call you Uncle Xiong." Kang Jianfei hit the snake with a stick and opened his mouth. Anyway, this old guy is old enough to be his father, so calling you Uncle doesn't hurt. Moreover, Ge Zhixiong behaved very modestly after entering the door, and followed
His nephew Ge Hongsheng's publicity was completely different, and Kang Jianfei was not disgusted with this little old man.
"Then I will call you Xiaokang," Ge Zhixiong said after greeting Kang Jianfei and then shaking hands with Ye Laosan. "This must be Mr. Ye. He is a talented man, young and promising. He is worthy of being a general."
"Mr. Ge, thank you very much." Ye Laosan said modestly.
"Back then, I met the handsome man from a distance. I was only ten years old at that time, and time flew by so fast." Ge Zhixiong sighed, relying on his old age. He said this purely to get closer to Ye Laosan.
Due to the distance, Ye Laosan's identity is no longer a secret in Hong Kong. Ge Zhixiong has always been pro-Taiwan KMT, but his family business is all in Hong Kong, so he must make plans for the return of 1997 as soon as possible.
In order to avoid trouble, Kang Jianfei invited Ge Zhixiong out for a meal to get acquainted, so that Ge Zhixiong could suppress Ge Hongsheng and stop messing around. Ge Zhixiong wanted to use this to get to know Ye Laosan, a red boy, and prepare for his future defection to the G Party.
Paving the way. As for Ye Laosan, he values the relationships Ge Zhixiong has built in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia over the years, and he can do better business after making friends.
The three of them enjoyed the meal very happily. They each helped each other with what they needed. They were already chatting and laughing before they even used their chopsticks, as if they were old friends reunited for many years.
Ge Hongsheng, who was drinking with him next to him, was extremely depressed. He thought that he, a dignified 14k filial piety boss, was now acting like a follower and couldn't even get in the conversation. He wanted to look good to Kang Jianfei, for example, by doing something in Central
Kang Jianfei's movie theater over there, but he was warned by his uncle before he even took action, so he had to swallow his bad breath.
After three drinks, the conversation at the dinner table gradually turned to entertainment. From beauty pageants to movies, Ge Zhixiong asked Kang Jianfei: "Xiao Kang, making movies seems to be very popular now. What do you think I should start a movie company?"
Kang Jianfei asked: "Uncle Xiong, do you want to make some money by making a movie, or do you have other ideas?"
Ge Zhixiong said: "To be honest, I have some money in my hand, so I want to invest in movies to move around. You are knowledgeable, so I want to ask you how to operate it specifically."
To put it bluntly, Ge Zhixiong just wanted to make a movie to launder money, and he probably was jealous of the Xiang brothers' Yongsheng Film Company. He could earn box office and launder money at the same time.
Kang Jianfei said: "If you don't plan to make movies as a career, it would be best to invest directly in making ** movies. As long as your vision is not too bad and your luck is not too bad, you can still make money."
Ge Zhixiong tentatively asked: "How about I come to cast in a DreamWorks movie?"
Kang Jianfei smiled brightly and said: "DreamWorks is not short of funds for the time being."
"Haha, I didn't think it through," Ge Zhixiong asked, "Xiaokang, which company do you think is worth investing in?"
Kang Jianfei said: "Zeng Zhiwei's good friend company, Deng Guangrong's Yingzhijie company, and Li Xiuxian's Wanmian Pictures are all pretty good."
Ge Zhixiong nodded and memorized the names of these three companies. He knew nothing about movies and had never thought about opening his own movie company like the Xiang brothers. It would be best to launder money by investing in the films of ** movie companies.
choose.
The meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the host. After the meal, Ge Zhixiong was arranged to attend the meeting. However, Kang Jianfei was not interested in this and took the car directly back to Zhao Yazhi.
"Well, I smell like alcohol. Take off your clothes and wash yourself!" Zhao Yazhi covered her nose and began to take off Kang Jianfei's clothes without any explanation. Then she pushed him towards the bathroom.
"Wash together!" Kang Jianfei grabbed Zhao Yazhi's hand and dragged her into the bathroom.
Zhao Yazhi will turn 33 in a few months, and her whole body exudes a mature and charming aura, like a ripe peach.
The hot water sprayed from the shower head wetted Zhao Yazhi's clothes, and the thin fabric clung to her body, outlining her seductive and graceful body.
Kang Jianfei drank some wine and was in good spirits. After a burst of passionate kisses and caressing, which aroused Zhao Yazhi, he lifted one of her beautiful legs and pushed it against the wall.
Zhao Yazhi's back was pressed against the cold wall, her breasts banging against the wall with the man's attack. She hugged Kang Jianfei's head and neck with her beautiful eyes slightly closed, and soon she fell into the wonderful sex.
.
The fierce battle moved all the way from the bathroom to the big bed. Zhao Yazhi convulsed with a joyful scream. She hugged the man's strong back for a while before she regained her composure.
"Today is my ovulation period. If I try a few more times, I will definitely get pregnant." Zhao Yazhi carefully adjusted her posture to prevent the life essence in her body from flowing out.
Kang Jianfei pulled a tissue to help her wipe away the dirt, hugged Zhao Yazhi into his arms and said, "Sister Zhi, I have written the script for "The Legend of White Snake"."
Zhao Yazhi rolled her eyes at him charmingly and said, "I thought you had forgotten it. It has been a whole year since I wrote it last year."
"You have a lot of songs, which is quite time-consuming." Kang Jianfei explained that he couldn't remember many of the lyrics for the script he wrote for "The Legend of White Snake," and in the end he had to make do with it himself.
Zhao Yazhi asked: "I play Bai Suzhen, who will play Xu Xian?"
Kang Jianfei joked: "How about I find you a handsome guy to play with?"
Zhao Yazhi smiled and said, "Okay, if you're not jealous, I wouldn't mind doing a few more kissing scenes."
Kang Jianfei was indeed jealous. He said, "That won't work. I have decided to choose an actress to play Xu Xian."
"Hahaha, you are too jealous," Zhao Yazhi laughed.
"The actor for Xu Xian has been decided," Kang Jianfei made the final decision and asked, "What do you think about Xiao Qing being cast by Qiu Shuzhen?"
"That beauty pageant girl who quit the competition?" Zhao Yazhi glanced at Kang Jianfei warily.
"That's her. I think her image is quite suitable." Kang Jianfei didn't pretend to be selfish, but really felt that Qiu Shuzhen was very suitable.
Regarding Xiao Qing's first choice, Kang Jianfei felt that Li Saifeng's image was the most suitable. Unfortunately, she was too expensive to be filmed in a TV series. The original Xiao Qing actor just gave birth to a child last year and is now at home raising her husband and children.
Qiu Shuzhen is now 19 years old. She has a pure and pleasant appearance, and is suitable for playing the role of Xiao Qing in all aspects. (To be continued...) u
