Lizhi walked out of the airport hall with her suitcase. It had been almost a year since she left Hong Kong. When she stepped on this land again, her mood had changed a lot.

A year ago, Lizhi was just a mainland girl who was discriminated against by Hong Kong people, but now she is an international student at the University of San Francisco in the United States. Although it has only been a year since Lizhi's vision has been countless times wider. After experiencing the prosperity and modern baptism of American cities, she is even more eager to make a name for herself.

Lizhi originally wanted to take a taxi home by herself, but she didn't expect that she was intercepted by a woman in her thirties at the entrance of the airport lobby. The woman smiled at her and said, "You are Miss Lizhi, right?"

Lizhi looked at her vigilantly and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman explained: "Hello Miss Li, my name is Jin Mengli. I am an employee of Oriental Entertainment Company. From now on, you will be your partner assistant."

Lizhi quickly realized that this woman must have been arranged by Kang Jianfei for her. She felt a little proud and flattered. She said, "I haven't signed up for the competition yet. Is there an assistant around me not suitable?"

"No problem. I just joined Oriental Entertainment Company, and few people knew me," Jin Mengli explained. "To the outside world, you just say that we are cousins. I will help you with all the matters participating in the beauty pageant."

Lizhi nodded, followed Jin Mengli into a business car, and asked, "What are the links in the beauty pageant?"

Jin Mengli introduced: "Register, selection, interview, shortlist, training, location and finals, Miss Li, you will definitely be shortlisted. I will inform you in advance about the questions during the interview and finals. You just need to show your beautiful side."

"Isn't that just cheating throughout the whole process?" Although Lizhi was eager to become famous, she still felt a sense of pride in her bones and was very disgusted with this kind of cheating. Because she felt that she looked no worse than other women, and her brain was smarter than many women. After all, she was admitted to the University of San Francisco with her own abilities, and she could win awards in beauty pageants even if she didn't cheat.

Jin Mengli smiled and said, "Cheating depends on ability. You are the person Mr. Kang wants to support, and only you have the qualifications. In addition to the formal competition process, you also have to cooperate with the beauty pageant to hype and create some eye-catching gimmicks."

"What gimmick?" Lizhi asked.

Jin Mengli explained: "The hype will begin in the interview. We have now formulated a basic operation plan. It is best not to speak Cantonese too standard during the interview, so that the interviewer will ridicule you. Then when he makes things difficult for you, you will use your words to fight back smartly, which will better show your wisdom. Some exciting scenes of the interview will be played on the TV station, so that you will be famous before you are shortlisted. The TV station will follow these shortlisted contestants in depth and report, and we will then use the opportunity to find out that you are at the University of San Francisco in the United States.

If you have a high degree in your studies, you can hype it up. Before the final, Phoenix Station will provoke public opinion conflicts of sympathy and discrimination against mainland girls, and you will become the focus of public opinion. The discriminatory treatment you received for odd jobs in Hong Kong will also be discovered. Finally, it will be the final. At that time, it will design a very eye-catching program for you. Until you win the championship, Phoenix Station will hype the ups and downs of your childhood and struggle unremittingly in your growth, making you a great beauty who continues to grow and mature in adversity, combining kindness, gentleness, wisdom and beauty."

After hearing Jin Mengli's call, Lizhi felt more and more that she was just a vase at the mercy of others. This time she returned to Hong Kong from the United States to participate in the beauty pageant, thinking about how to perform well, but she didn't expect that the road she was going to take had been paved.

Lizhi was sent home by Kim Mengli in a daze. When she was about to finish, she gave her a registration form for the beauty pageant. After Lizhi had finished it, she then took a photo and posted it.

...

While Li Zhi was filling out the form in a complicated mood, Fang Yihua calmly put down the Ming Pao in her hand because of a message on the advertising page of this issue of Ming Pao:

"The Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant is a beauty pageant jointly created by Phoenix Chinese Channel, Commercial Radio, Oriental Dream Factory and other units. The top eight of the participating beauties will get the opportunity to sign a contract from Oriental Entertainment Company. Mr. Kang Jianfei will tailor a movie or record for the beauty pageant champion...

The Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant is not limited to age or nationality. Any woman who is confident in her own charm can sign up for the competition. The registration deadline is April 30, 1984."

Sitting in front of Fang Yihua's desk was Hong Miao, the head of this Miss Hong Kong Competition. He said confidently: "Manager Fang, we don't need to worry at all. After Miss Hong Kong's success, there have been at least dozens or hundreds of beauty pageants in Hong Kong in recent years. Which one can compare with our Miss Hong Kong?"

"This time it's different. The Miss Oriental beauty pageant is supported by TV stations and film companies, so don't take it lightly." Fang Yihua warned that she actually believed that the status of "Miss Hong Kong" would not be threatened by "Miss Oriental", but she was inexplicably vigilant about Kang Jianfei.

The Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has attracted so much attention that countless young and beautiful women are eager to sign up. In addition to being promoted by TVB to be a star, the most eye-catching thing is that the Miss Hong Kong champion married into a wealthy family and became a young grandmother.

Six years ago, Hong Kong sister Zhu Lingling married into the Huo family. The Huo family gave the woman 10 million gifts and held 360 tables for a banquet. At that time, the whole Hong Kong was sensation. Such an inspirational story about Cinderella becoming Snow White attracted many girls to fly into the fire, and brought countless topics of conversation to Hong Kong citizens.

However, Kang Jianfei, relying on Phoenix TV and DreamWorks, can also provide the wings of dreams for girls who are eager to become famous. If the long-term development continues, it will definitely separate the attention of Miss Hong Kong.

Hongmiao came up with an idea and said: "There are only the procedures for the beauty pageant of Miss Hong Kong, and no matter how new it changes, it will no longer be able to create any new ideas. If you want to suppress the beauty pageant on Phoenix Platform, you can only start from the other party."

"Don't do anything randomly." Fang Yihua waved her hand and said that last time she ruthlessly slandered Chen Xiuwen and Fenghuangtai, but afterwards, Shao Yifu sternly warned her not to have another second time.

"It's not a mess," Hong Miao said with a smile. "Manager Fang, look at the registration conditions of Miss Dongfang. It is not limited to age or nationality. Let's find a few old and ugly people to register. If they fail the selection and interview, let these women make trouble, and the beauty pageant over there will definitely become a laughing stock."

Fang Yihua said angrily: "What's your trick? It's useless."

Hongmiao said: "How come it's useless? When Miss Oriental makes such a fuss, even old and ugly women can sign up. Isn't it just that they are one level lower than our Hong Kong Miss? Then I will buy newspapers to make a sarcasm and build up the public opinion momentum to see if they can continue to do it."

Fang Yihua nodded in thought: "Although it's useless, it can still make Phoenix Platform ugly."

Hongmiao said again: "There is also to find one or two unclean past among the shortlisted contestants and reveal their scandals."

Fang Yihua frowned. She was afraid that she would do it too much. Kang Jianfei would make the Hong Kong lady slander. After thinking for a while, she said, "You must do it more concealedly. Just send the scandal materials to those newspapers anonymously. TVB must not come forward. Moreover, those scandals must be based on real evidence and cannot be slandered out of nothing."

"Manager Fang, don't worry. There are always one or two unclean players in the finals," Hong Miao smiled. "When the time comes, after the newspapers, the Miss Oriental Beauty Pageant will become a place to hide dirt."

Fang Yihua closed her eyes and said nothing. This trick was just a temporary choice. What really decided the winning or losing was the strength between each other. Miss Hong Kong’s biggest reliance was the reputation and social influence accumulated over the past decade. The upcoming Miss Oriental beauty pageant that Phoenix Channel will be held mainly is the support of Phoenix Channel and Dream Factory.

So what if you make the Miss Oriental beauty pageant bad?

As long as you have the opportunity to make movies, TV series and become a big star, there will still be girls who will sign up for the competition. At worst, you can change your name to the beauty pageant next year.

The reason why Fang Yihua agreed to Hongmiao's idea was that after she slandered Miss Oriental, Miss Hong Kong could be preserved - Miss Hong Kong represents Hong Kong's image and cultural style.

...

"The 21st 5th mirror of "Love Saint" was filmed for the third time, Akesh!"

After Li Lichi scored the game, Zhou Xingchi and Ye Zimei made a affectionate look, hugged each other and fell on the bed exaggeratedly, and at the same time they each shook their eyebrows and called secret codes at Huang Xia and Mao Shunyun who were hiding in the dark.

Huang Yuetai carried the camera on his shoulder and stood not far from the bed and slowly moved the shot. When he gave the close-up shot, he himself knelt on the bed.

"Crack," Kang Jianfei suddenly shouted, "change another position, go to the window by machine No. 2, and Awen helps find the angle."

Zhong Zhiwen hurried to the bedside to study the angle of the camera. After a few minutes, the camera had been arranged. Kang Jianfei immediately ordered the shooting to start again.

After the showdown between Zhou Xingchi and Huangzhe was finished, it was almost noon. The foods such as foie gras, steak, etc. used as shooting props were just for extra meals to the crew.

Kang Jianfei was also eating with a boxed lunch. He also brought a steak in the pile of rice. As he was eating, Zeng Bolin came over with a few newspapers and said, "Boss, the publicity of the beauty pageant was done very well. Although it was not as popular as the Miss Hong Kong Competition, it was also known to everyone. It has only been three days now, and 107 registrations have been received, which is more than the Miss Hong Kong registration. But..."

"It's just what?" Kang Jianfei asked while eating.

Zeng Bolin said laughing and crying: "But among the applicants, many girls are already in their thirties, and even aunties in their forties."

Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that there are many people who sign up, but no one cares about it. If you are old, you can just remove the selection process. You are so charming and charming. Even if you are 50 years old, you can get her shortlisted, and you can just take the opportunity to hype it up."

Zeng Bolin took out a "Sing Tao Daily" and handed it to Kang Jianfei and said, "You should read this report."

Kang Jianfei glanced at the newspaper and saw that the title of this article was - "Beauty Pageant or Aunt Club?":

"If you want to talk about the most successful businessman in Hong Kong in the past decade, it is not Li XX or Huo XX, but Mr. Kang Jianfei, a swimming athlete who came from the mainland. Not only is he doing his entertainment career in full swing, he heard that he also entered the real estate industry some time ago and bought many land properties in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon...

Just a few days ago, Mr. Kang Jianfei made a new move. This time he actually challenged Miss Hong Kong, as if he wanted to share the beauty pageant. However, Mr. Kang's Miss Oriental beauty pageant seemed to be in a hurry, and his registration rules were missing. Not only did he not limit the nationality of the applicant, but he even had no requirements for age.

Our reporter saw a jaw-dropping scene at the registration site of Miss Oriental’s Central yesterday. Four women older than the author’s mother, wearing heavy makeup, handed over their registration form, were actually collected by the staff at the registration site. Should I ask Phoenix Station whether it was choosing "Miss Oriental" or "Aunt Oriental"?"

After reading the article roughly, Kang Jianfei laughed and said to Zeng Bolin: "I didn't expect that the Xingdao Daily took the initiative to cooperate, which saved me a lot of effort. Go and tell the TV station that you should take this opportunity to provoke a war of public opinion and find a few feminists to do the show. You must make things bigger and turn the topic from Miss Oriental's unlimited age to feminist rights. It is necessary to arouse the common hatred of all women in Hong Kong, and shape Phoenix Taiwan and Miss Oriental into feminist defenders."

"This is OK?" Zeng Bolin opened his mouth wide and looked at Kang Jianfei. He could even lean on feminism.

"Why can't it be?" Kang Jianfei smiled, "Auntie is not a woman? Auntie can't love beauty? Which one is not born by her mother? When she gets older, she can't love beauty and can't participate in beauty pageants? Our Miss Oriental beauty pageant is about to make slogans. Beauty has no age, and Auntie can also be the beauty pageant champion!"

Zeng Bolin sweated wildly and said, "The boss is right, I will go to the TV station to pass the message immediately."

Mao Shunyun held the lunch box and gave Kang Jianfei a thumbs up, chewing the food and said vaguely: "The director said this well. No matter how old a woman is, she has the right to pursue beauty and love beauty."

Ye Zimei also echoed: "Yes, if I hadn't signed into the company, I would have planned to participate in the beauty pageant."

Kang Jianfei transformed into a friend of women at this time and said righteously: "Women are an important part of society. They have to do housework, have children, take care of their husbands and children, and even many modern women have to make money like men to support their families. I think society should give women more respect, especially those older women, who can also step out of the kitchen and stand on the beauty pageant stage."

Ye Zimei looked at Kang Jianfei admirably and couldn't help but applaud.
