Miss Hong Kong is hosted by Hong Kong's Wireless Television, which is well known to mainland audiences as TVB.
1977 was already the fifth Miss Hong Kong pageant, so both in terms of its organizing procedures and popularity, it was already very mature and famous.
It can be said that it is an annual national event for the entire Hong Kong Island. It has also become a shortcut for countless poor girls who flock to it and want to become a phoenix and change their destiny.
According to the registration practice of Miss Hong Kong, contestants are usually required to fill out a registration form and attach relevant information. If the contestant is under the age of 18, he or she is also required to fill in the parent or guardian's information and have him or her sign.
At the same time, you must provide copies of your ID card and passport, recent photos, etc., and then submit them to TVB Wireless Television via mail or on-site registration points.
However, Uncle Zhong is just a driver after all, and none of his relatives or friends have ever signed up for Miss Hong Kong Island.
All he knew was the address of TVB. He heard that many girls who dreamed of becoming famous overnight by participating in the Miss Hong Kong pageant would go to TVB in person to submit their application forms.
Although they can obviously just mail the application form, these girls prefer to submit it in person, fantasizing that they will be the first to be recognized by TVB executives when they submit the application form.
At the same time, there are also many paparazzi and scouts who have been squatting at the door of the TVB building for a long time, hoping to be the first to discover some strong contenders for Miss Hong Kong.
…
Therefore, when the driver Uncle Zhong learned that Liu Ru dreamed of signing up for Miss Hong Kong, he immediately turned around and drove towards Broadcast Avenue in Kowloon Tong.
Broadcast Drive is affectionately called "Mount Wutai" by Hong Kong people because at its peak, there were five radio and television stations competing for dominance.
Similarly, this is also the area in Hong Kong Island where it is easiest to meet celebrities.
When the Guo family's Mercedes-Benz stopped at 77 Broadcast Drive, outside the Hong Kong TVB building, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention.
After all, for ordinary people, Mercedes-Benz luxury cars have been their lifelong pursuit.
Those who can drive such a luxury car are all wealthy people in Hong Kong Island.
The TVB building has a yellow main wall with dark red semi-circular columns embedded in it. It has a relatively simple style and is a modernist building. There is a sign of "Hong Kong Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd." in front of the building.
As soon as several paparazzi saw the Mercedes-Benz car stop, they immediately picked up their cameras and wanted to take a photo or two to see which Hong Kong tycoon had come to TVB for "afternoon tea" today.
The euphemism "afternoon tea" actually has a dirty connotation.
In the eyes of ordinary people, those big stars in the entertainment industry are so glamorous and have no worries about food and clothing. They can earn at least tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars by shooting a simple commercial. It is so easy for them to make money and gain both fame and fortune.
However……
In the eyes of those truly wealthy people, these stars in the entertainment industry are nothing more than entertainers.
Just by waving their hands, they can easily be taken into the car from the TVB building to have "afternoon tea".
Then, "afternoon tea" lasted from the afternoon to the evening, and the next morning, the driver quietly sent people home.
For these paparazzi who are waiting in ambush, this is a very familiar routine.
If it is photographed once, it will be enough to make headlines in the entertainment section of the newspaper the next day.
"This Mercedes-Benz seems to be the Guo family's car."
A paparazzi with a good memory spoke up.
"The Guo family? Which Guo family? The one in Mid-Levels or the one in Repulse Bay?"
"It's the one in Repulse Bay and the one in Mid-Levels. They all drive a Rolls-Royce when they go out!"
"Tsk! There's nothing good to film then. Mr. Guo is such a person that even if he came to TVB, it's to discuss serious advertising and other business."
"What if it's not Mr. Guo who's here? I heard that his eldest son, Guo Zhiqiang, is not a proper rich second-generation and he's having fun!
But this guy's bad reputation is well known. Even if I get a photo of him playing with a female celebrity, it's not that interesting. Not to mention the front page, even if I put his gossip in the gap between the second page, I'll be scolded by the editor-in-chief. "
"What about the second son of the Guo family? He is said to be very capable and in his prime. Could it be that he wants to play with female celebrities?"
"If it's the second son of the Guo family, it's worth watching. Press the shutter quickly, the person is coming down..."
…
A bunch of paparazzi immediately took pictures of the parked Mercedes-Benz.
Snap! Snap!
The flash goes on...
Liu Rumeng, who had just stepped out of the car, suddenly became a little panicked.
The driver, Uncle Zhong, had anticipated this situation and quickly got out of the car, using his back to block the paparazzi's camera a little, then smiled and said to the somewhat panicked Liu Rumeng:
"Ms. Liu, don't be afraid. These are just some paparazzi shooting gossip.
Since you have already decided to sign up for Miss Hong Kong, it doesn't matter if they take pictures of you.
On the contrary, if they take a picture of you and publish it in the newspaper, it can increase your popularity.
But I still have to show my respect and block it for a while."
After hearing Uncle Zhong's explanation, Liu Rumeng calmed down and walked in very generously.
The paparazzi present were all stunned. They blinked in disbelief, then quickly adjusted the camera angles and pressed the shutter buttons frantically to take several sets of photos.
It was not until Liu Rumeng disappeared in front of the TVB building that they began to communicate with each other as if they had just woken up from a dream.
