Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

On August 17, 1979, the second Miss Asia final was officially held on this day.

The venue was prepared two days ago. The venue is not in a busy area and the surrounding area is quite quiet, so it will not disturb the progress of the competition. The area near the venue must be quiet, otherwise a sudden roar will occur during the game, which will inevitably interfere with the game and live broadcast shooting.

As one of the five judges, Lin Baicheng arrived at the scene on time and took his seat with the other four judges. He still sat in the middle judges' seat as he did last year.

This year, the five judges of Miss Asia have changed. Except for Lin Baicheng and Huang Xizhao, the other three judges have been changed from Zheng Yudong, Wu Guanzheng and Huo Yaohua to Iwasaki Fenglong, Fok Zhenting and Guo Kongchen.

Since Miss Asia has said that it covers Asia and even selects contestants from other Asian countries, it is naturally best to have people from other countries as judges. Forget about not having a chance last year, now that Iwasaki Mineryu will live in Xiangjiang forever, Lin Baicheng invited him to come over and be one of the judges.

As for this kind of invitation, unless time does not allow, Iwasaki Mineryu will not refuse.

Huo Zhenting and Guo Kongchen, Lin Baicheng actually invited their fathers, but Huo Yingdong and Guo Henian, like Bao Yugang, sent their juniors over. Last year, Bao Yugang sent Wu Guanzheng over.

In fact, Lin Baicheng wanted to invite the Huo family to be one of the judges last year, but thinking that Zhu Linlin was a former Miss Hong Kong champion, he gave up and did not send out the invitation until this year.

The judges took their seats, and the beauties backstage were also ready. The same two hosts, a man and a woman, from last year took to the stage.

"Thank you to all the viewers and friends at the scene and in front of the TV for supporting Asia Television. We hereby announce that the second Miss Asia finals has officially begun!"

This year's Miss Asia final will be broadcast live in a delayed manner, so that viewers in front of the TV can watch the simultaneous competition. However, it is Friday during the day after all, and many people have to work, so there will be replays during the prime time slot in the evening, and the appropriate time will be selected for replays in the next period of time.

The investment in the Miss Asia competition is not small. The income from live broadcast ratings alone cannot offset the investment. What's more, replays are beneficial to the promotion of the competition, so they must be broadcast several times more.

Amidst the warm applause of the audience, the male host took the microphone and said: "Here, we have good news to tell everyone. For this year's second Miss Asia final, we have already entered into cooperation with Japan's TV Asahi and South Korea's SBS. The TV stations have reached a cooperation, and these two TV stations will broadcast the finals, taking a solid first step for the expansion of Miss Asia."

The cooperation between Asia Television and TV Asahi relies on Lin Baicheng's relationship as a director of TV Asahi, but the cooperation with South Korea's SBS TV station was contacted by the staff of Asia Television themselves.

Asia Television has actually contacted television stations in other Asian countries, but unfortunately no cooperation has been reached. Either the country is relatively conservative or there are other factors. The expansion of Miss Asia still needs to continue to work hard.

Not to mention other countries, even on the Bay Island, Asia Television has not reached a broadcast cooperation. It mainly has to do with boss Lin Baicheng, who allowed him to support the mainland openly and openly, which made the Bay Island authorities very dissatisfied.

Not to mention the broadcast of Miss Asia, all TV series of Asia Television and all movies of Star Pictures cannot be broadcast on Bay Island unless Lin Baicheng's position changes. However, although the market in Wandao is not small, Lin Baicheng cannot give up the mainland market for the Wandao market. That would be completely choosing sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, not to mention that his inner emotions do not allow him to support Wandao.

The audience once again burst into warm applause.

After the applause gradually stopped, the female host said: "This year is the same as last year. After the preliminary and middle rounds, 12 beauties will be selected to participate in the finals. The rules of this year's competition are no different from last year. The four categories of beauty, figure, temperament and talent are also rated, and the person with the highest score will win the final championship. If the scores are the same, the audience will vote to determine the final champion."

Male host: "What is different from last year is that among the 12 beauties this year, two beauties are from abroad. They are Miss Li Boxi from South Korea and Miss Tang Miaohua from Singapore."

Lee Bo-hee, who is from South Korea, originally planned to join MBC TV station this year. Later, he saw the promotion of Asia TV in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and was attracted by the high prize money of the competition, and then participated in the selection competition in Seoul.

The capital of South Korea is called Seoul, which is not wrong, because Seoul has not yet been renamed Seoul.

As for Tang Miaohua, it is true that she is a Singaporean, but she participated in the Singapore-Malaysia Best Female Singer Award held by Li's Voice in 1977, and won the Top Ten Best Female Singer Award. Afterwards, she continued to develop in Singapore, but her development was not satisfactory. Joined Asia Star Records at the beginning of this year.

Now Tang Miaohua is preparing to release an album, but her reputation in Singapore is average, let alone in Hong Kong. Therefore, in order to smoothly release the album, the company arranged for her to participate in the second Miss Asia. This is because she is quite beautiful. If she were an average-looking female singer, she would not even have a chance to compete.

Asia New Records only arranged for Deng Miaohua to enter the finals through the relationship with the TV station. There was no way to arrange the specific ranking. Lin Baicheng was not informed at all that Deng Miaohua was an artist of Asia Star Records. How could the people below have the courage to let the boss Lin Baicheng Engage in shady activities.

Female host: "What's different from last year is the competition prizes. There are still six competition prizes, namely champion, runner-up, third runner-up, and the three special prizes of 'the sweetest smile', 'the best figure' and 'the most outstanding talent'" Awards.”

"The three special prizes will each receive a bonus of HK$10,000, as well as a household air conditioner, refrigerator, washing machine, and TV set exclusively sponsored by Jinxing Electric Company."

"The prize for the third runner-up is 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, as well as a 20,000 Hong Kong dollar shopping voucher exclusively sponsored by Jupiter Toys Company, which can be used to purchase any product of equal value from Jupiter Toys Company."

"The runner-up prize is HK$50,000 and a cane worth HK$50,000. In addition, there are also shopping vouchers worth HK$50,000 exclusively sponsored by Xingyue Electronic Games Company. You can use the shopping vouchers to purchase them at Xingyue Electronic Games Company, etc. Any product at any price.”

“The prize for the champion is still the most generous. In addition to cash of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, there is also a crown worth 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, as well as shopping vouchers worth 100,000 Hong Kong dollars sponsored by Hutchison Whampoa Company. You can buy the name of Hutchison Whampoa Company. Any product of equal price."

The shopping voucher sponsorship for the champion, runner-up and third runner-up was money paid by Lin Baicheng from relevant companies. It was regarded as sponsorship fee for publicity, mainly to increase the prize money of Miss Asia in disguise.

If any contestant wins the championship, she will receive a reward worth 300,000 Hong Kong dollars and can buy an apartment of hundreds of square meters in a relatively good area of ​​Hong Kong.

"Next, let us introduce to you the five judges responsible for judging the finals this time."

"First of all, Mr. Lin Baicheng. Mr. Lin is now the richest man in Hong Kong. He is the chairman of many well-known companies such as Asia Star Media Group, Hutchison Whampoa, Hong Kong Electric Group, Galaxy Games Company, etc. He is well-known and familiar to everyone. I don’t think he needs to introduce it too much. right."

The audience greeted him enthusiastically, and Lin Baicheng stood up and waved in response. He is now extremely famous in Xiangjiang. He is the idol of many young people and is also what parents should learn from when educating their children.

After Lin Baicheng, the two hosts took turns introducing Huang Xizhao, Huo Zhenting, Guo Kongchen and Iwasaki Mineryu.

After introducing the judges, the host asked Zhang Guorong to come on stage to sing before the competition officially started. Zhang Guorong is now well-known and can sing and act. He is a key artist cultivated by Asia Star Media Group. He is given the opportunity to sing on stage like this.

After the song was sung, the finals of Miss Asia officially began.

In fact, Lin Baicheng didn't pay much attention to this year's Miss Asia finals after reading the information of all the participating beauties, because none of the participating beauties were familiar to him, and there were no beauties that surprised him.

Of course, it doesn't mean that this year's contestants are not beautiful. They must all be beautiful, otherwise they would not be able to pass the preliminary and middle rounds. It's just that the beauty in Lin Baicheng's eyes now is different from the beauty in his eyes as an ordinary person before his rebirth. .

This year's contestants, the pretty ones are just good in Lin Baicheng's eyes, just like last year's champion Zheng Wenya's standard in Lin Baicheng's eyes.

Without the stunning beauty, Lin Baicheng would naturally not be interested in this year's finals.

Despite this, Lin Baicheng will still serve as a judge this year, because if he attends the judging panel if there are beautiful beauties in a certain year, but does not attend the judging panel if there are no beautiful beauties, his reputation will definitely become worse and his reputation will be bad.

Although he can't think about this year's finals, Lin Baicheng, as a judge, does not feel tortured. After all, beautiful girls show off their beauty and talents on the stage. As a judge, he appreciates and scores. This kind of thing is still refreshing.

After each competition, Lee Bo-hee from South Korea leads the rankings.

Li Baoxi has an advantage that other beauties do not have, that is, she is not Chinese. Although Tang Miaohua is a Singaporean, she is Chinese, and she has stayed in Hong Kong for a long time. Her clothes are not much different from other local beauties.

Li Baoxi is different. She wears Hanbok and performs folk dances. If she is put together with other beauties, there is an obvious difference and contrast, which makes the judges who are tired of aesthetics shine. The judges naturally give Got a high score.

Li Baoxi is not bad looking, otherwise she would not have thought of joining MBC TV station before participating in the Miss Asia contest. Therefore, after receiving a higher rating, she naturally ranked high, ahead of other beauties.

Before the last 'Beauty' competition, as a judge, Lin Baicheng naturally saw that Li Baoxi was ahead in scoring, but he did not deliberately suppress Li Baoxi and give her a low score in the 'Beauty' category, but honestly gave her the score in his heart. .

There is no stunning beauty this year. It would be better if Lee Bo-hee from Seoul, South Korea wins the championship. This can also play a role in publicity. After all, Miss Asia is different from Miss Hong Kong. Miss Asia's coverage includes other countries in Asia.

Let South Korea's Lee Bo-hee win the championship this year, which will definitely help the promotion of Miss Asia in other countries next year. Maybe there will be more contestants from other countries in Miss Asia next year.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the number of other beauties this year is equal to that of Li Baoxi, and is no better than Li Baoxi. The judges will give fair scores. Lin Baicheng will not specifically select a contestant from another country for the sake of publicity.

When the 'Beauty' competition was over, the total and average scores of all the beauties were calculated, and Li Baoxi won the championship of the second Miss Asia Competition. She also won the special award of 'The Most Outstanding Talent'.

Li Baoxi's dancing is very good, and with the bonus points brought by the exotic style, she received high scores in the 'talent' category, and it was natural for her to win the 'Most Outstanding Talent' special award.

This year’s championship award was presented by Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng was not familiar with the Li Baoxi from Seoul, South Korea at all. He didn't know whether Li Baoxi was a star in Korea or just an ordinary person before his rebirth.

Regarding the Korean entertainment industry, Lin Baicheng is familiar with the girl groups that showed off long, white legs after 2000, such as Girls' Generation, T-ara, Apink, etc.

Of course, other celebrities are not unknown, such as Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji-hyun and other relatively well-known celebrities. Lin Baicheng also knows a few of them, but not many.

"Thank you! Kang Sang Smita!"

Wearing a crown on her head and holding a check and shopping coupon in her hand, Li Baoxi was very happy and bowed to Lin Baicheng to thank her.

Lin Baicheng just smiled and nodded, and after taking a photo with Li Baoxi, he left the stage. He didn't have the same kind of thoughts towards Lee Bo Hee as between men and women, so there was no need to talk more and just finish the awarding work.

"Thank you to the five judges for their review! Thank you to the twelve beauties for participating! Thank you to the audience and friends in front of the TV for their strong support!"

"The second Miss Asia Contest officially ends here!"

“For next year’s third Miss Asia contest, please pay attention to Asia TV for further announcements!”

"Next, let's invite Miss Ye Liyi to sing "Shanghai Beach" for us!"

The song of the same name as "Shanghai Beach" is very popular in Hong Kong now, so there is no problem at all as the closing song of the competition.

At 7 o'clock that night, Asia Television held a celebration dinner. In addition to inviting the judges and contestants, there were also relevant staff of the television station and artists from Asia Star Media Group.

Except for the contestants, there are no requirements for others. It is up to you to decide whether you want to come and whether you have time.

Lin Baicheng went to the dinner that night, and he also invited four other judges to attend. Iwasaki Mineryu and others were very proud to attend the dinner. Huang Xizhao, one of the four, does not need to be specially invited. As the manager of Asia Television, he must go tonight.
