"Liu Rumeng is definitely first! The score difference is so big. As long as she doesn't stutter during her final speech, she'll definitely win!"
"Exactly! Look at those judges, their eyes are wide open!"
For the audience, from the very beginning, the atmosphere seemed to be overwhelmingly biased towards Liu Rumeng.
Not to mention, in these links, Liu Rumeng was far ahead.
The atmosphere in the front row VIP seats was completely different.
Li Xiaohe habitually stroked the strap of his watch, his eyes sharply cast at the score difference on the screen, his brows slightly raised.
Run Run Shaw sat back in his chair, his face as cold as a statue, his eyes focused on a blank spot somewhere on the stage, his lips pressed into a stiff line.
Neither of them said a word, and in perfect tacit understanding, they almost simultaneously turned their gazes to Fang Yihua beside them.
Obviously, for the two of them, Fang Yihua's plan has been implemented very poorly so far.
Although it was a well-prepared question-and-answer session, Zhu Lingling not only failed to take the lead, but also lost points, allowing Liu Rumeng to widen the gap.
Fang Yihua felt the gazes of the two bosses, but her face remained as calm as the sea level.
She turned her head slightly, meeting the inquiring gazes of the two bosses, which even carried a hint of doubt and pressure, and nodded very slightly but with great certainty.
Then, a barely perceptible gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
Mona Fong has always been known for her meticulous approach at TVB, and she always has multiple plans in place for everything she does.
Now, during the question-and-answer session, Liu Rumeng has further widened the gap with Zhu Lingling, which is not a big problem for her.
Because, in Fang Yihua's opinion...
No matter how knowledgeable and well-remembered Liu Rumeng was, there was no way she could come up with a speech in thirty minutes without any preparation that could rival the public welfare proposal that Fang Yihua had tailored for Zhu Lingling, polished over several days, and that just happened to hit the judges' preferences!
High scores? What is needed is "depth", "height" and "pragmatism".
It was quite good that Liu Rumeng could come up with a few nice words on the spot in such a short reaction time.
A nine-point lead now? In this high-powered segment, with the standard answers she gave Zhu Lingling, she could definitely erase them, or even surpass them!
Fang Yihua was calculating in her mind, she didn't care about Liu Rumeng's temporary lead!
Currently everything is still going according to her plan.
The light and shadow on the stage flowed, and the song and dance performance ended with warm applause.
The host also reappeared and excitedly shouted:
"The public welfare vision presentation session has officially begun! Contestant ranked 20th, please prepare to take the stage!"
The tense atmosphere was instantly set in motion by his announcement, marking the beginning of the final battle.
One by one, the contestants walked up to the circle of light in the center of the stage and began to express their thoughts and speeches on "public welfare".
Some contestants became obviously overly nervous when they stood in front of the microphone.
He twisted his hands together subconsciously, his voice trembling slightly: "I... I will use my own money... to help the nursing home... and then... call on everyone to donate..."
The beauty spoke haltingly for less than two minutes before she lost her voice, bowed blankly and left the stage.
Indeed, in such a situation, it is a bit too difficult for these Miss Hong Kong contestants who were selected through auditions to give a speech on a sudden topic.
Apart from other things, many people just can't get over the psychological barrier. Standing on the stage and giving a long speech makes them feel guilty and their speech stutters.
The next one, however, seemed quite deliberate and artificial.
Her expression was full of compassion, but her words were quite empty. "Winning the Miss Hong Kong title is also a responsibility... I will use my love... to care for those in need... and volunteer..."
"What to do specifically? How to do it? This lady didn't say a single word. This speech is too empty and meaningless, it's just nonsense."
On the judging panel, the editor-in-chief of Financial Weekly frowned and asked the scholar next to him in a low voice.
The scholar could only shake his head helplessly and quickly tick on the score sheet.
These general talks are nothing but some beautifully packaged empty words.
Another contestant came on stage and began to speak passionately, as if she was campaigning, saying, "I want to set up my own foundation! I want to raise funds in the name of Miss Hong Kong! I want to set up an 'Angel of Love'..."
However, there is no mention of specific operations, financial supervision, and project focus, and it seems like a pile of popular words.
The judges' pens moved across the paper, and the scores they gave were generally mediocre.
In such a scene, there seemed to be a sense of disappointment in the air.
These are all Miss Hong Kong representatives selected from millions of people in Hong Kong!
Is this the only ability they have?
The judges' disappointed expressions were reflected on the big screen, and all the audience and guests could feel the judges' dissatisfaction.
Finally... it was Lu Ruirong's turn, who was currently ranked third.
She walked steadily into the light and said in a clear and calm voice:
"If I receive this honor, my public welfare focus will be on 'housing security', a key issue that concerns countless families on Hong Kong Island."
Her words immediately attracted the attention of the judges, who seemed a little tired before.
"Just last night, when I was watching TV with my family, I saw the news about Hongkong Land Group's recent strong push for a 'Home Ownership Scheme', which resonated deeply with me."
