Chapter 47: Breaking the Ratings Record

After a moment's thought, Zhu Wanwen said to Jiang Yu, "Sister Yu, you've already successfully portrayed many classic characters, including many strong female roles. The role of Wu Zetian isn't too much for you, so why not give a newcomer like me a chance and let me take it on."

Even from a long distance, Zhu Wanwen could feel Jiang Yu's murderous aura.

She continued with a murderous look, "I think Sister Yu has already reached an unrivaled position in terms of her achievements in TV dramas. In the TV drama industry, Sister Yu is undoubtedly the No. 1.

Standing at the top of a mountain, there's no way for Sister Yu to climb. Why not consider a career in the film industry? Director Wang Zhan, who was on the jury, is an internationally renowned director and one of the most powerful film directors in Hong Kong.

When Director Wang's new drama begins filming, the leading female role in a new film that could win an international award will be given to Sister Yu. If Sister Yu agrees, I'll have Gavin approach Director Wang to get this done."

Zhu Wanwen finally said: "Sister Yu should not only be the pride of us in Baogang, but also the pride of Chinese people all over the world. Only then can she be worthy of being my idol."

Chen Jinchu felt something was wrong. "Did I hear that correctly? You want me to talk to Director Wang about Sister Yu being the leading actress in his new movie? When did I ever have such a say? If I had that ability, I might as well let Director Wang make me the male lead."

Zhu Wanwen spread his hands and said, "Gavin, you ordered me to snatch Sister Yu's heroine, so of course you are responsible for compensating Sister Yu. Gavin, I believe you are not a very irresponsible man."

Zhu Wanwen cleverly kicked the ball to Chen Jinchu.

Chen Jinchu had a terrified expression. "I'm dying! If I don't agree, wouldn't that mean I'm an irresponsible man? I swear to God, I've never let down any woman in my life. I'm the most loyal and loyal person."

Zhu Wanwen said, "But if you disagree with what happened today, you will be letting Sister Yu down in front of all the people of Hong Kong."

The audience burst into laughter, and even Jiang Yu retracted his murderous intent and showed a relaxed smile.

Chen Jinchu looked miserable, raised his hands in surrender, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take responsibility. A man may not be able to do other things, but he can't be irresponsible. After the show is over, I'll go talk to Director Wang."

The audience in the audience was so amused that they couldn't stop laughing. The camera even turned to Director Wang Zhan who was sitting on the judges' panel. Director Wang Zhan couldn't help but chuckle.

Chen Jinchu extended his hand and said, "Please welcome the wise Miss Zhu back to the team."

Zhu Wanwen kept smiling, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and returned to the team with light steps.

After the remaining contestants finished the question-and-answer session, this session finally ended.

The four hosts walked onto the stage and stood together.

Chen Jinchu said, "The four stages have been completed. I believe the five judges have a clear idea of ​​the sixteen contestants and can begin to score them. However, everyone should wait. There will be a final song and dance performance in a while. This is the contestants' last chance to add points to themselves and also give the judges more room for consideration."

On the stage, the four hosts were making jokes and joking around to buy time.

This is also the advertising time in front of the TV.

Backstage, the sixteen contestants quickly changed their clothes and put on headsets, preparing for their final chance to give the judges their scores.

Especially for contestants who feel they have great prospects, they are eager to give an eye-catching performance in the final song and dance test so that the judges will change their minds and give them extra points.

As for the contestants who felt hopeless, they thought that it was their last time on stage and they might as well put a perfect end to their performance.

Therefore, before going on stage, all sixteen beauties were in high spirits.

In the audience, Baogang TV's deputy general manager Lu Shengkang was listening to the four hosts' funny performances when his secretary quietly came over and asked Lu Shengkang to leave.

"What's the matter?" Lu Shengkang asked.

The secretary couldn't contain her excitement and said, "The market research company just sent a fax. The ratings for tonight's Miss Hong Kong Pageant have skyrocketed, breaking all records."

The TV station entrusts a market research company to collect the ratings. Once the ratings fluctuate significantly, whether it is a significant increase or a significant decrease, the TV station will be notified immediately.

Lu Shengkang was overjoyed: "Really?"

The secretary faxed the document to Lu Shengkang for review.

After reading it, Lu Shengkang couldn't stop smiling. "After such a long period of slump, I finally have something to present to the board of directors."

"The waltz segment has the highest viewership," said the secretary.

This was within Lu Shengkang's expectations. With Chen Tianwang's influence, the ratings wouldn't be bad. "Has the operations department received any news?"

"We've already received it. The operations department temporarily added two more ads."

"It's very eye-catching." Lu Shengkang praised the operations department for being smart and capable.

"There's one more thing." The secretary reported to Lu Shengkang, "Two advertising companies came to the advertising department to inquire about a beauty."

"Which two companies?"

"Pan Rou and Hong Yulan."

These two companies are major clients of the TV station and spend huge amounts of money on advertising to the TV station every year.

Lu Shengkang immediately took it seriously and asked, "Which beauty are they looking for?"

"Hu Xiaoxiao."

Lu Shengkang was surprised. The Miss Hong Kong pageant hasn't been announced yet, but advertisers are already coming to inquire about the news?

"Got it." Lu Shengkang reminded his secretary, "Go and tell the operations department, keep in touch with the market research company, and allocate an appropriate number of advertisements. I estimate that when the top three are announced, the ratings will explode again."

The secretary took note of the instructions and immediately did it.

Lu Shengkang returned to the scene with ease.

On the stage, the four hosts felt that the time was almost up, and after receiving hints from the staff below the stage, they stopped their jokes.

Chen Jinchu announced, "Next is the final song and dance performance by the sixteen contestants for the audience and those watching on TV. Please welcome the disco performance of 'The Annoying Autumn Wind.'"

The stage lights suddenly dimmed, and sixteen beauties walked onto the stage and struck a pose.

As the music started, several disco light balls on the stage spun out brilliant colors.

With the help of the rotating lights, the audience saw the beauties' costumes on the stage.

A black sleeveless leather jacket, paired with a black leather miniskirt and black high heels, is full of modern style.

The contestants struck a variety of poses, the only thing they all had in common was covering half their faces with their palms. The dark atmosphere and the partially covered faces made it difficult for the audience to clearly see which of the contestants they liked.

As the dynamic music sounded, the sixteen beauties moved, stood in an orderly manner on the steps, and walked down with their long legs in unison, stepping to the beat of the music.

Step by step, following the beat, as if stepping on the audience's heartbeat.

The face and the person were blurry, but the sixteen pairs of long, straight legs were strangely clear, immediately attracting the audience's attention.
