The stage of the Miss Hong Kong finals was now shrouded in a strange atmosphere.
The talent and aura displayed by Liu Rumeng in the [Public Welfare Vision Speech] segment won a lot of applause, which was in no way inferior to Zhu Lingling's standard answer from a professional.
Combined with her perfect performance in the previous few stages, Liu Rumeng's total score was far ahead. After this stage, the overall situation could be said to have been decided.
Everyone seemed to see that the Miss Hong Kong crown, which symbolizes supreme glory, was descending steadily towards her along with the spotlight.
According to the previous Miss Hong Kong competition process, Liu Rumeng can be said to have already secured victory.
Many guests have already begun to imagine what kind of changes Liu Rumeng will bring to Hong Kong's entertainment and charity circles after becoming the first runner-up of Miss Hong Kong.
In particular, should they invest some resources to build closer relations with the consortium and financial resources represented by Kobayashi Tianwang, who is behind Liu Rumeng?
However, at this moment, the host unexpectedly announced that he would add another segment:
"Dear distinguished guests! Friends in the audience and those watching on TV! This year's Miss Hong Kong finals was filled with excitement. The beauty, talent and wisdom displayed by the contestants were truly impressive!
At this exciting moment, TVB executives have just made an exciting decision! In order to more comprehensively and realistically showcase the Miss Hong Kong pageant's 'balance of beauty and intelligence,' we will be adding an unprecedented 'Life Skills Challenge' segment before the final results are announced!
“Wow!”
The audience at the scene did not expect that there would be such an additional segment, which was an unexpected surprise.
Moreover, many people also find this added hands-on session very fresh.
Sitting in the first row of the guest seats, TVB boss Li Ka-shing also had an expression of surprise on his face.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Run Run Shaw beside him, and found that the TVB "Emperor" who usually kept his emotions secret also had an unexpected look on his face.
"Life Skills Challenge? Dealing with home appliance and furniture malfunctions?" Li Ka-shing lowered his voice and whispered incredulously to Mona Fong beside him, "Mona! You...how could you have hidden this trick? You didn't even tell us!?"
It can be said that the surprise in his heart was far greater than the shock.
Liu Rumeng's outstanding performance in the public welfare speech just now almost made him think that Fang Yihua's carefully planned "suppression" plan would completely fail, and the championship would undoubtedly belong to Liu Rumeng.
But now, there is a sudden turn of events!
This sudden addition was something that Li Ka-shing was completely unprepared and unanticipated for.
It can be said that the situation was brought back together!
Fang Yihua, however, had a confident expression and said to the two bosses:
"Lisheng, Shaosheng! Opportunities are always fleeting, so plans... always have to have some backup measures. Liu Rumeng's ability to adapt is indeed unexpectedly strong.
But even the wisest have their limitations. And this isn't my original idea; I simply borrowed an idea from a recent talent show in England, so outsiders can't fault it. And then there's... a little local ingenuity. Who could have imagined that the Miss Hong Kong pageant, so high and mighty, would have to squat down to fix a lamp or assemble a cabinet? I'm sure the audience will find this scene quite novel..."
Li Xiaohe was very impressed by what he said, and was so excited that he almost rubbed his hands together and said, "Excellent! It's a stroke of genius! Mona, your thoughts... are really unfathomable! I almost thought our plan was really going to fail this time! Now that's good! This is great!
Even if Liu Rumeng is a celestial being, she can't possibly handle a screwdriver, right? The audience loves the contrast, watching beauties awkwardly assembling furniture! This topic! This heat! It's coming in instantly!
Run Run Shaw did not express his opinion immediately.
His eyes, which had seen through many vicissitudes of life, were still fixed on Fang Yihua's face, as if he wanted to penetrate her calm mask and see what was churning underneath.
He knew that Fang Yihua was ruthless and calm enough, but the fact that she concealed the truth and excluded him and Li Xiaohe still made him feel a subtle chill in his heart. He realized that he had underestimated Fang Yihua.
This woman is not ordinary.
Whether it is the mind or the means, they are all quick, accurate and ruthless.
His gaze passed Fang Yihua and fell on the noisy stage.
He couldn't help but sigh, because he felt that the addition of this link seemed a bit too deliberate.
A beauty pageant that ends with appliance repair and furniture assembly? If this gets out, will the professionalism and style of the Miss Hong Kong contestants be ridiculed? Will it make it seem like TVB is running out of ideas and deliberately promoting someone?
But Run Run Shaw thought again, this might also highlight the unique side of TVB.
And now that it has come to this, it is being broadcast live and is attracting everyone's attention.
It can be said that the arrow is on the string and has to be shot.
Since I promised Fang Yihua that I would let her take full responsibility and handle the Miss Hong Kong finals, now that the water has been poured out, it cannot be taken back.
Should we rush down and stop it now?
That would become a huge joke in Hong Kong! TVB's reputation and the Miss Hong Kong pageant's reputation would collapse in an instant.
More importantly... a voice in his heart was calculating: If this method can really make Liu Rumeng lose the election reasonably, and can also cleverly avoid Xiaolin Tianwang's possible anger...
This small loss of dignity seems insignificant compared to the withdrawal of advertisements by Hong Kong Sun Hung Kai Properties, the plummeting stock price, and the questioning of the fairness of the brand.
In the face of huge gains and losses, rules and decency are sometimes as fragile and insignificant as thin ice.
