Chapter 704 Miss Asia
Xiangjiang remains the same.
It seems that last year's joint statement did not cause any turmoil. In fact, from the early 1980s to the handover in 1997, the flow of immigrants continued uninterrupted. There are also many people in the entertainment industry who want to immigrate, but some actually leave and some fail.
When I interviewed them several years later, they all said that they had confidence in the mainland and that was why they did not leave.
Everyone has a history book.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly. Chen Qi came from Shanghai and walked out of Kai Tak Airport. He thought it was Gu Weili or Jiang Zhiqiang who was coming to pick him up, but he saw an unexpected figure.
"Comrade Chen Qi!"
Li Weiguo stood upright and saluted. Chen Qi was stunned for a moment and was extremely surprised: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay for now, I'll pick you up!"
"Okay, let's get in the car and talk!"
He led Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang into the Mazda and listened to Li Weiguo's story. They had gone through the legal procedures. The evidence of the actions of the young and Dangerous boys was conclusive, and the Hong Kong British did not want to cause trouble. They were deemed to be self-defense.
"Thank you for your hard work! I will transfer your working relationship to you in a while and set up a company to be responsible for security issues. The name will be..."
Chen Qi thought for a while and said, "How about calling Dongfeng Company?"
"Dongfeng is good, I feel safe when I hear it!" Li Weiguo said with a smile.
"Then it's settled. It's a pity that there are too few people. I originally wanted a company, but the superiors didn't agree. After seeing this turmoil, I can't agree even more."
"Do you think there will still be danger?"
"The British guys should be able to cooperate in the first few years, but I don't know in the future. Anyway, I think they will definitely cause trouble. There are many societies in Hong Kong, and it is too easy to indulge. Hey, you have a way to bring more comrades here, how many of my How much do you want!
By the way, everyone has been suffering before, but I never had time to express it. I'll open an account for you and get a bonus first. "
"Thank you Comrade Chen Qi!"
Although Li Weiguo is loyal to his faith, everyone needs money, so he may be called Qi Ge too soon.
Going northwest from the airport is your new home in Tsuen Wan, passing a Shaw Brothers theater on the way. There is a poster for a new movie on the door, called "Blessing from Heavenly Officials", with the male and female protagonists wearing Qing Dynasty costumes.
"Eh? Lao Wang?"
Chen Qi glanced at them and couldn't help but feel happy. They were Er Dongsheng and Wang Zuxian. Lao Wang's ancient costume is beautiful, but it's really not suitable to wear Qing Dynasty clothes. You're stupid.
It seems that she is already filming in Shaw Brothers, but Shaw Brothers will stop production soon, and she will be sent out by Fang Yihua to pick up the film. He thought about it for a while, and there was no need to contact him in advance. He might as well wait until "A Chinese Ghost Story" started.
…
Residential area in Tsuen Wan.
In the evening, Gu Weili and Jiang Zhiqiang gathered at home to report on their work.
"Fang Yihua just announced that Shaw Brothers will gradually reduce production until it stops production. They used to do 30 dramas a year, but in the future they may do 3 dramas a year. Most people will lose their jobs."
"Does the theater chain have anything to say?"
"I heard that there is an interest in renting it out, should we get in touch?"
Chen Qi thought about it again and again and shook his head: "In this way, our theaters will be expanded to more than 30, the release cycle will be further shortened, and the supply of movies will be insufficient. Are other companies interested?"
"No!"
"Um?"
Chen Qi was stunned and asked, "De Bao isn't interested either?"
"Yes, Debao didn't move. Princess Jin didn't move either. Lei Juekun only has 8 theaters left and he doesn't want to expand."
"It's a mess! It's a mess!"
He scratched his head.
Originally, in the mid-1980s, Hong Kong films were booming, and people and money from outside were eager to come in, so it had five theater lines and an annual output of 200 films. Now that he has caused a lot of confusion, everyone has little confidence in the market and is waiting and watching.
Gu Weili also said: "The shortlist for the Academy Awards has been announced and an invitation letter has been sent to you."
"Let me see!"
Chen Qi took a look and saw that Dongfang Company's "Xin Zha Junior Sister", "Deadly Express" and "Fifty First Dates" were on the shortlist. He smiled and said, "Have they changed the rules?"
"Changed it according to your wishes."
"Since it has been changed, I will attend."
"Okay! Li Zhuanglie from ATV also invites you to chat when you have time. They are planning a beauty pageant "Miss Asia"."
"Miss Asia? Is it modeled after TVB's Miss Hong Kong?"
Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
Gu Weili said: "Look, I said the boss must be most interested in this."
"I'm also the most interested! It's normal to be interested in this kind of program, and it's just pretending to be indifferent." Jiang Zhiqiang took it for granted.
"Forget it, it's all excuses!"
The two were bickering, and Chen Qi was already in a hurry: "Quickly, help me make an appointment with Li Zhuanglie, I'll go and see him tomorrow!"
"Hmph! Man!"
Gu Weili despised it.
…………
Miss Hong Kong started in 1946. It would be done privately by dignitaries, and it would be held in a nightclub.
It was held by TVB in 1973, and the champion was Deborah, Nicholas Tse's mother. After that, it got out of control, and Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong, Maggie Cheung, Li Jiaxin, Anita Yuen, etc. all made their debut in Miss Hong Kong.
Sister Asia started this year. ATV’s resources are not as good as those of TVB, and Sister Asia’s influence has never been as good as that of Sister Hong Kong. But beauties such as Li Zhi, Wan Qiwen, and Yang Christine also appeared. Moreover, there is a very embarrassing thing about Sister Asia. The proportion of filming third-level films is not low. People like Ye Yuqing, Qiu Yueqing, and Weng Hong have all done it.
After entering the new century, the standards of Hong Kong sisters and Asian sisters have been declining, and it is even more difficult to see for future generations. Any crooked person can win the championship.
The next day.
Chen Qi ran to ATV early in the morning.
Li Zhuanglie was happy when he saw him: "I said you would arrive as soon as possible, and you didn't even miss half a minute!"
"Stop talking nonsense, what are the regulations?"
"It is initially scheduled for August to take over from "The Voice". It is open to all beauties in Hong Kong who are over 18 years old and under 26 years old. They must not have a contract and preferably have no acting experience. The competition format is the same as Miss Hong Kong."
"That's it?"
"We can only think of so much!" Li Zhuanglie said.
"It's free to teach you, it's very simple!"
Chen Qi was very excited and said: "Buy a beautiful big villa first, put all the beauties after the primary election into it, and share a room with several people.
Shoot 24 hours a day, find teachers to teach them, set task levels, and set special rewards... There must be messengers of justice, kind little angels, gold diggers, bitches, and irritable old ladies... let them tear them apart. ah! Quarrels, fights..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Li Zhuanglie's head turned big and he said: "Please! We are a very formal beauty pageant. The winner will represent Hong Kong in the Miss Asia Pacific competition. We don't need your variety show effects!"
"Then why did you ask me to come? I'm leaving!"
"No no no!"
Li Zhuanglie grabbed him and begged him like he was coaxing a child: "You can give us some suggestions, just a little bit, don't go too far. We can't do anything too bad in the first session."
"So conservative?"
"Help!"
