She debuted at the age of 14, and in just a few years, her albums sold over a million copies, and every movie she starred in became a box office champion. Her TV series "Blood Suspicion" was a hit throughout Asia!
Her pure image and slightly melancholic singing voice captivated people from teenagers to middle-aged adults. She was the national daughter of Japan and an undisputed symbol of the times!
Inviting her to hold a concert on Hong Kong Island is already an astronomical price and an enormous favor!
Now, she's standing on the stage of "The Voice of Asia" like an ordinary new contestant?!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After a few seconds of silence, the studio erupted in screams and applause that could have blown the roof off!
The audience went absolutely crazy!
They stood up, waved their hands, and shouted desperately!
Many people couldn't believe their eyes!
At the same moment, similar exclamations could be heard throughout living rooms across Hong Kong Island:
"My God!!! It's Momoe Yamaguchi!! It really is her!!!"
"Are you crazy?! Am I dreaming?! How did Asia Television manage to get her?! And she's even here as a contestant?!"
"That's amazing! ATV really pulled off a powerful move this time!!!"
In the living room of the Shaw Mansion, Run Run Shaw stared intently at the figure on the television.
His mind went blank for a moment, but he immediately understood.
Kobayashi Tenmo actually managed to get a Japanese national treasure-level superstar to endorse his show through his connections in Japan!
This scale... is beyond his imagination!
“Sir Runrun…she…how could she be here…this…how is this possible…”
Mona Fong was also incredulous. She knew that at the beginning of the year, TVB had tried to spend millions of Hong Kong dollars to invite Momoe Yamaguchi to participate in TVB's "Enjoy Yourself Tonight" program, but was ruthlessly and decisively rejected.
Today, Momoe Yamaguchi actually participated in Asia Television's "The Voice of Asia," which is practically another slap in the face to TVB!
Run Run Shaw did not answer.
He slumped back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, muttering to himself:
"A grand gesture... truly... such a grand gesture..."
"I lost..."
"This time... I lost... completely and utterly..."
If a movie loses, it's just a matter of losing face and money.
However, the success of "The Voice of Asia," especially the appearance of Momoe Yamaguchi, shattered the last bit of pride in his heart.
He knew that his time at TVB was probably truly over.
...
In Repulse Bay, at Lam Huo-wang's villa.
Lu Ruirong and Liu Rumeng were busy at the TV station, while Lin Huowang and Kobayashi Keiko, who had flown over specially, were watching TV on the sofa.
Oh, right! There's also Qian Shuzhen, who has two great advantages. She recently finished watching the TV series "Blood Suspicion" and is a huge fan of Yamaguchi Momoe.
As soon as they saw Momoe Yamaguchi appear, they immediately started screaming.
Seeing the sensation caused by Yamaguchi Momoe's appearance, Kobayashi Keiko couldn't help but laugh, leaning on Lin Huowang's shoulder.
"Lin Huowang, that move of yours... was truly ruthless."
She looked up, her eyes sparkling, filled with admiration for Lin Huowang, and said...
"I bet Mr. Shaw is probably needing medication to fall asleep right now. You've not only stolen his box office revenue, but you're also completely destroying his television station. He must hate you to death."
Lin Huowang stroked her hair and said softly:
“Huizi, this… is just the beginning. I want to tell him, and I want to tell the whole of Hong Kong…”
"An old era has come to an end."
"A new era will begin with Asia Television."
Outside the window, the lights of countless homes on Hong Kong Island shone brightly.
Tonight, almost every television set is playing the same program and hearing the same singing voice.
The era that belonged to Shaw Brothers is coming to an end.
A new era for Asian television has truly arrived.
