The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 469
After a comfortable nap in Deng Lijun's apartment, Xu Guanwu kissed Teresa Teng goodbye and returned to the office in front of him.

As soon as I sat down in my seat, the assistant walked in quickly, "Boss, Miss Liang Shuyi wants to talk to you about something."

"Okay, I just have something to look for her, let her come in." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, and after a while, Liang Shuyi walked in with a capable demeanor, which made people's eyes shine.

"Mr. Xu, there is something I need to tell you." Liang Shuyi said.

"Okay, let's talk." Xu Guanwu nodded, pretending to be listening attentively.

"It's like this. Jiayi TV Station is planning to host the Miss Oriental beauty pageant. The selection and finals will be held in advance." Ms. Liang Shuyi said, "This will bring a lot of impact to our Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant."

"Well, I already know about this matter, have you guys come up with any countermeasures?" Xu Guanwu nodded and asked.

"In response to Jiayi TV's action, we suggest increasing the prize money for this year's Miss Hong Kong election to attract more beauties to sign up; at the same time, invite heavyweight social figures to serve as judges to strengthen the influence of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant." And Tan said, "Secondly, we decided to increase the beauty pageant awards and add a 'Miss Youth' award, so that contestants can have more confidence in winning awards."

"Very good, your proposal is very good, since this is the case, let's implement it." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "Serina, Jiayi TV station is coming so fiercely this time, what do you think our chances of winning are?"

"I still believe in all my colleagues in TVB. After all, our Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has been going on for many years and has accumulated a very good reputation. Jiayi TV's Miss Oriental beauty pageant is the first, and some people may be greedy at the beginning. But when our Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant starts, these old audiences will still return." Liang Shuyi said with a confident smile, "Besides, our Miss Hong Kong has produced Zhao Yazhi, Zhu Lingling and other Hong Kong sisters who have joined the rich and powerful families, so that the specifications of Miss Hong Kong have also become very high. Gao, of course she is not as beautiful as a wild fox in the Miss Dongfang beauty pageant."

"Well, it's good if you have confidence, but you can't be careless. This is the reason why the so-called arrogant soldiers must lose." Xu Guanwu nodded, "I think you should make preparations early, and there are still three months before the Miss Hong Kong pageant. It’s better to prepare a TV series with a big cast, and prepare to compete with Miss Dongfang for the audience.”

"Yes, I will go back and make arrangements immediately." Liang Shuyi nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Okay." Xu Guanwu nodded, and then asked Liang Shuyi to leave.

"Miss Dongfang's beauty pageant, hehe, if Lide also comes to a Miss Asia pageant, it will be really lively." Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing and said.

……

The ratings of Jiayi TV station have been sluggish. This time, the beauty pageant is specially held, probably to boost the ratings with the help of beautiful women. Prepare in every way.

Shaw Brothers also placed high hopes on this beauty pageant and gave them very strong support, asking for money and people.In addition to wanting to boost the ratings with this beauty pageant, there is actually a relationship between selecting talents through the beauty pageant.

Shaw Brothers is also facing a starvation of actresses. Before the 60s and early 70s, Shaw Brothers had always had the most beautiful actresses, such as Ling Bo, Leti, Lin Dai, Jing Li, He Lili, etc., all of them were glamorous. Touching, noble and generous, he swept the entire East Asian market and became the hottest movie star at that time.

However, after the mid-70s, Shaw Brothers gradually began to go downhill, and the excavation and training of new actors decreased, resulting in an obvious gap in talent.Coupled with the fact that the older generation of actors left Shaw Brothers when their contracts expired, or their popularity declined due to age, all in all, Shaw Brothers now has an obvious shortage of female stars, and it is already a bit out of reach.

So Shaw Brothers wanted to use this Miss Oriental beauty pageant to attract fresh blood for their film and television company, and add a touch of beauty to Shaw Brothers' films.Therefore, in terms of manpower, material and financial resources, Jiayi TV station has really invested heavily this time, which is quite different from the previous one.

And since it is called the Miss Oriental beauty pageant, naturally the beauties are not limited to Hong Kong, but Singapore, Malaysia, and Taiwan are also included. The slogan is "Oriental women, Oriental charm!", claiming to select the most A beauty with oriental beauty.

Because Jiayi TV has cooperation and alliance with Taiwan's China Television, Singapore's Channel [-], and Malaysia National Television, so this Miss Oriental beauty pageant can also get the full support of these three TV stations.These three TV stations also regarded it as a magic weapon to attract ratings, and also spared no effort to promote it to the audience. For a while, there was a whirlwind of beauty pageants in East Asia. Than the annual Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant.

……

Facing the menacing Jiayi TV station, TVB's coping strategy is to respond to all changes with the same.The same means that the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant is still held as scheduled according to the management of previous years, and there is no panic because of the early holding of Jiayi TV.

However, in order to deal with Miss Dongfang's beauty pageant, TVB still brought out its best TV series to compete in the ring.Co-produced by Zheng Shaoqiu, Wang Mingquan, Li Siqi, Zhou Runfa, Ouyang Peishan, Huang Shuyi, Shi Jian, Zhu Jiang and other TVB first-line actors, the fashion romance series "Choice" began broadcasting a week before the premiere of the Miss Oriental pageant on TV.

"Choice" is TVB's best theme of fashion love and hatred. It is produced by Li Tiansheng, a well-known TVB talent, and Liu Tianci, Deng Weixiong, etc. are the main writers. In addition, all the leading actors are TVB's first-line actors, and there are also a lot of familiar faces. Among them, the lineup is unprecedented, so once it was announced, it attracted a lot of attention.

Everyone is waiting to see whether the aggressive Jiayi TV station will win in this battle for ratings, or the TVB TV station that is confident that its soldiers will block the water and come to the soil will win.

In addition to launching strong dramas to compete with the Miss Oriental pageant, TVB also made some adjustments to the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant held by itself for the Miss Oriental pageant.

The first major adjustment is the substantial increase in bonuses.The prize money for the previous Miss Hong Kong champion was only 5 yuan, but this time it was raised to 50 yuan in one fell swoop, a direct increase of ten times, and nearly all other awards have also increased significantly.In addition to bonuses, award-winning contestants can also get the opportunity to enter Xu's Group and become an artist under TVB or Xu's Film Company.

The Miss Hong Kong selection contest held by TVB before did not provide similar treatment to the winning contestants.Like the winners of the previous Miss Hong Kong elections, very few of them entered the service of TVB.And TVB doesn't pay much attention to these Hong Kong sisters, and the actors they need are mainly obtained from artist training classes.

This time, because Jiayi TV station put forward similar conditions, in order to attract more beauties to join, TVB TV station also joined in this one.

It is worth mentioning that with the rapid economic growth in Hong Kong, people are more willing to enjoy entertainment.Therefore, the remuneration of actors has gradually increased, and their status has also increased greatly. Therefore, many young people are very yearning to join the acting career, and public opinion is also pursuing celebrities, which has changed the thinking of the older generation.

Being an artist now is no longer regarded as low-class, but as a high-end and promising profession.And celebrities often travel in luxury cars, wear gold and silver, eat delicious food and drink hot food, and they all respond to everyone, which has really attracted many young men and women to join the entertainment industry.

For example, this year's Xinghui Art School recruited new students, and the number of applicants hit a record again, and the quality of the recruited artists was much higher than before.

Xu Guanwu went to Taiwan during the artist recruitment examination, and later went to the United States to delay for a few days. When he came back, the students had already enrolled.When he reviewed the list of newly recruited artists, he couldn't help grinning happily for a long time. It turned out that many of them were people he was familiar with.

For example, Tang Zhenye, one of the five tiger generals, Liao Qizhi, who is one of the five tiger generals, Li Chengchang, who plays a villain, and Chen Anying, a child grandmother in Tianshan, are all familiar faces on TVB with a very high frequency of departure.

Seeing Tang Zhenye's name on the list, Xu Guanwu couldn't help being taken aback, and then laughed happily.Tang Zhenye has already come out, so will Huang Rihua, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Miao Qiaowei, etc. be far behind?

……

Entering April, what made Xu Guanwu happy was that "Plan A" had finally come to an end, and what made him even more happy was that when Cheng Long was filming the scene of falling from the clock tower, because of the meticulous security work done in advance, even though It looked very dangerous, but Xu Guanwu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief that he didn't almost ruin his acting career like in his previous life.

After "Project A" was completed, it immediately entered the post-production, and Xu Guanwu hired an English teacher to find Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biao, and hand them some English.Because I will take them to the United States for publicity later, if I don't know a word of English, then it will be really impossible to communicate.

Bruce Lee was able to make a name for himself internationally. In addition to his superb kung fu and mysterious martial arts theories, his fluent English also gave him a lot of points.When appearing on TV, radio programs, or being interviewed by reporters, you can talk freely, which is naturally more admirable than relying on translation.

Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, and Yuan Biao also know that they will go to the United States to do promotion, and if the movie sells well, they will be able to enter Hollywood in the United States in the future. Therefore, although they still have an instinctive fear of going to school, they still insist. Bravely learn from the teacher.

In addition to learning English, Xu Guanwu also took them to some more grand gatherings, so that they could broaden their knowledge and avoid embarrassment when they go back to the United States to attend dinner parties.The three brothers Hong Jingbao also knew that Xu Guanwu had worked so hard, so they observed and imitated carefully, and after a long time, they developed a little temperament, no longer just a sturdy martial artist.

If the completion of "Project A" is good news for Xu Guanwu, then Deng Lijun's return to Taiwan is bad news for him, making him depressed for several days, making Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia puzzled by it.

Deng Lijun returned to Taiwan to continue her singing career. She didn't want to be a canary in a cage, and singing is her greatest interest in this life. Therefore, although she loves Xu Guanwu very much, she still resolutely returned to Taiwan.

Xu Guanwu was naturally attached to Deng Lijun, and these days, every noon, he was always with Deng Lijun, and from her, he experienced the tenderness and affection that Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia did not have, it was like a glass of fine wine that made him intoxicated.

But since Deng Lijun decided to go back to Taiwan to continue singing, and Xu Guanwu had agreed to support her decision before, so although he was very reluctant to let her go, Xu Guanwu still had to let go, which made him feel very heartbroken. It was the bitter face that made Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia puzzled.
