Chapter 39

[Looking for the goddess of Xiangjiang, are you coming?

Your beauty is defined by you!

Do you want to have endless milk tea in your life? Do you want to have beautiful clothes that you can never wear out?

As long as you love beauty and life;

as long as you are a girl who likes milk tea and has talents,

you can sign up for the Hong Kong Goddess election.

Respect women's attitude expression and refuse to be defined.

The old era is over. Be a new woman where a hundred flowers bloom.

Yashan invites you to show off your charm with confidence. 】

"Is your consciousness too advanced?" Lin Wei looked at the promotional copy and was a little undecided.

"Ahead of time?" Sun Muyin stopped her movements, unable to understand.

"How should I say this?" Lin Wei thought carefully and said, "Which one do you think is more patriarchal and sexist, Zhaodi or Shengnan?"

"Of course it's Zhaodi. How could Shengnan be patriarchal and choose this name? It shows that parents have placed a lot of hope on girls."

Lin Wei put down the information and looked at her: "Actually, they are both. Why should women be better than men? The logic of this premise is that they must be better than men. Men are very strong, but most women can't compare. Isn't this discrimination? There is a saying in the Mainland that women can hold up half the sky, but why is this half of the woman worse than the other half?"

Sun Muyin heard this explanation for the first time. She was speechless, the other person could always see things that she was not aware of.

Ahead of the times... She finally understood what was different about Lin Wei. She gave people the impression that she was ahead of her time and different from everything around her.

"However," Lin Wei continued, "compared to Zhao Di, Sheng Nan is an improvement. Our current consciousness is at the stage of Sheng Nan at most, so when I say that Sheng Nan favors boys over girls, many people will understand No, if your consciousness is too advanced, you will have such a result. If you have just finished eating, you will have a higher spiritual pursuit, and you will probably encounter failure."

The awakening of consciousness in later generations is also changing slowly, and maybe many years later, her thoughts will also be. It will become a backward idea, and an idea that is too advanced may be directly beaten to death by the reality of society. Only the progress that is in line with the current society is the optimal solution.

Sun Muyin thought for a while and said, "No, I showed it to the classmates in the class. They all said it was very good and liked the expression very much. Although they may not fully understand what a new woman is, they can feel it."

" Did you show it to the classmates?" Lin Wei was a little surprised. She smiled and touched Sun Muyin's head a few times. "Are you so unsure?"

Sun Muyin felt a little uncomfortable but did not avoid the warmth coming from her head. It makes people feel strange and warm, only children would be treated like this.

"No..." Sun Muyin took the copy back as if nothing had happened and asked, "Has the bonus been decided?"

"The first place will receive 100,000 in cash, KeKe Chalian VIP lifetime free milk tea card, Yashan VIP lifetime free customized card, the second place 30,000 for the first place and 10,000 for the third place."

Sun Muyin nodded and recorded it with a pen.

"100,000! So much?"

During the meeting, everyone was shocked by the amount of the bonus.

100,000 yuan can buy two houses in a good location, and it is not impossible to buy 1.5 houses in a remote location.

"If it's not more, how can we do a gimmick?"

Lin Wei is now a little insensitive to the amount of money. She feels that 100,000 is very little. If she holds an event in future generations, it won't even make a splash, but really according to the current prices, After all, it is a considerable amount of money. After all, the current box office champions are less than 1 million①.

"In this case, what is the total budget?" Sun Boran asked.

Because they had to jointly host this event, the main people in charge of the milk tea company and the garment factory gathered together for the first time to discuss the event.

Lin Wei thought for a while and said: "200,000 is about the same. It may be overspending, but it won't be too much."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The leader was too good at spending money. They didn't know what to do. There was only an upper limit. Each family could contribute 100,000. That's about it.

This is also due to their good operating conditions. Needless to say, the milk tea shop, Yashan's daily turnover is now 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, so the money is within their acceptable range.

It was just the first time to host such a large event. Everyone was inexperienced and very nervous.

Only Lin Wei thought it was not a big deal, and boasted: "It's not as difficult as you think. The audition will be held at the nearby Queen's Square. On the day of the event, we will hire a radio host, three judges, and professional vocal and dance teachers." Yes, you can get it done by paying some travel expenses. The host draft and exam content must be communicated with the host and instructors in advance. Mr. Su is responsible for security and maintaining order, while Xiaoyue and Manager Yang are in charge of the store. The first phase of the audition will be three days, so do it in advance. Good publicity, the rest is just to respond to emergencies, that's all."

The two parties looked at each other, and for some reason, everything became very simple in Mr. Lin's eyes.

But when they started doing it, they found that it was not simple at all, and it was torture to death.

"Can we get our money back?" Wen Jiayue asked.

"Recover the money?" Lin Wei shook his head, "Everyone must understand the purpose of this event. It is impossible to sell 200,000 milk tea and clothes in three days. The purpose of the event is to increase visibility and increase consumers' brand memory. To put it bluntly It is necessary to find some presence from time to time to improve the impression in the minds of the public. "

Even if Coca-Cola is already a household name, it still needs to be seen on TV in order to cultivate customers and help them make subconscious choices.

This time is just a test of the waters. If there are more advertising activities in the future, they will probably become accustomed to such things.

Lin Wei asked people to distribute the event planning book to everyone: "In order to prevent no one from participating and ensure the quality of the contestants, the early publicity must be done well. Each store must have good advertisements, posters, leaflets, and newspapers. To keep up... things are as simple as possible, but the result of this matter is 100% and 100% yours. What we achieve depends on the right time, place and people. The only thing we can control is ourselves. You must show your absolute best. Fighting spirit, fight a good fight."

Everyone said with a grimace, "fighting", is this still okay?

If the boss is too good at avoiding important matters, then it will be easy to ignore.

This is simple to say, but it takes a lot to do.

Customers who went to buy milk tea received a flyer with the 100,000 bonus circled in large characters, which was extremely eye-catching.

The reward of 100,000 yuan is enough to attract many people, and everyone who sees it will stop and sigh.

The girls are all curious about the title "Goddess of Xiangjiang".

"Goddess" sounds like a noble and inviolable elegant image.

In fact, Lin Wei's proposal at first was the Goddess of Yashan or the Milk Tea Girl, but everyone rejected it because they felt that the layout was too small. They all thought that the Goddess of Xiangjiang sounds better. Maybe this "god" makes people think that the goddess sounds better than Misses are "high-end", just like later businessmen do not like to use women and prefer to use goddesses for promotion.

A golden eagle goddess from later generations is very eye-catching, has earned enough traffic, and is full of gimmicks, and fans are fighting to their death.

The most important thing is to be able to compete with Hong Kong sisters. Now they also think that Lin Wei's way of gaining popularity is very useful.

"It says that if you pass the preliminary qualification, you can get a set of elegant goddess outfits. Is it true?" Many girls asked with flyers.

The publicity effect is very good, not only the bonus, but also thanks to the fact that milk tea shops are located in various areas of Hong Kong City. The news spreads at once. The publicity effect is no worse than that of newspapers. There are many girls who like milk tea, and these are also the target customers. precise delivery.

"Yes, this is the registration form. According to the requirements above, write your name, age, occupation, self-introduction and contact information, and attach a photo. If you have past talent certificates, you can also attach them. If you pass the preliminary election, we will Contact you to receive the competition information and goddess outfit. "

The so-called goddess outfit is a goddess-style floor-length skirt, available in five colors: black, white, green, blue, and purple. It is specially designed for this event. It is elegant and simple. A long skirt with draped long skirts and a docile design has an indescribable sense of nobility, so it is called a goddess dress.

"You can wear whatever you like on the audition stage. If you don't know what to wear, just wear this goddess skirt. When you wait for the semi-finals and finals, you can communicate directly with the designers of Yashan, and we will design special clothes for the contestants. "

Are you selling this dress?"

"We have to wait until after the competition. This is for goddesses only," the clerk replied.

"What is the content of the competition? Are there any age and occupation restrictions?"

...

More and more people are consulting, and piles of registration forms are being sent to the headquarters.

Many people want to try the 100,000 yuan bonus. It's like a free lottery. If there are dates but there are no dates, you will win three poles. What if you win?

Even if you can get just one piece of clothing, it’s still a good thing. It’s not a loss at all.

"It's really crazy not to impose an age limit. This aunt is over fifty and still competing. What is she doing?" Su Tianrui complained.

"I asked you to rate, why are there so many words?"

There were too many people submitting their resumes, so many people were recruited to be young men, and Su Tianrui also came to join in the fun.

Aesthetic standards may not be fixed, and everyone has their own preferences, so multiple people rate them.

However, the criteria for elimination are fixed. First, if you look at the handwriting on your resume, if it is written like a dog crawling, you will be eliminated directly.

Academic qualifications are definitely a plus, but then it will be useless to say nothing.

Those with certificates and proof of talent are also preferred.

Too many people signed up, so they raised the standards again and again.

It is not ruled out that there is fraud on the resume, and a confirmation will be made on the day of notification.

This was their first time, and it was also Lin Wei's first time. They were crossing the river by feeling the stones.

"Goddess of Xiangjiang"

Chu Aidong chuckled lightly when he saw it. He didn't pay much attention to it, so what if he made flowers?

It's just a beauty pageant. The influence of Hong Kong sisters is limited and is not recognized by the mainstream.

Mu Tong looked at the slogan in the newspaper. This was not the first time she heard the word "new woman". This word has been mentioned constantly in recent years, but what exactly is a new woman?

"What is this girl going to do?" Shi Huaicheng was also confused when he saw it. "Didn't you say that she wanted to cooperate with Shaw Brothers?"

Shi Jingchen was silent. He only found out about Lin Lin after asking for help from Shaw Brothers through his connections. Wei got a Xiangjiang goddess by herself.

I originally thought that the other party relied on his social connections, but in the end, he thought too much, and he was actually not that important at all. I had previously thought about whether Lin Wei would regret it if she knew it, and whether she would feel guilty after seeing his help, but now it seems like a joke.

The Hong Kong Goddess audition and the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant were held on the same day. They were both chosen on September 11, the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. No one believed that Lin Wei did not do it on purpose. However, the Hong Kong Goddess was during the day and the Hong Kong Miss was during the day. In the evening, one is in an outdoor square, one is in a star nightclub, one is a talent show, and the other is a beauty pageant. After all, there are many differences.

Shi Jingchen didn't know what the purpose was, so he drove to Queen's Square, but when he went there, he found that there was a huge crowd of people and the car couldn't drive in at all.

"Why are there so many people?" Su Tianrui looked at the surging crowd and felt his head grow bigger.

"I've already called Song Ye and will transfer someone from the factory. Aren't you going to open a security company? If you can't handle this situation, then you'd better give up the idea as soon as possible." Lin Wei wrote a note while talking. Have someone give it to the host and bring it to the stage.

An event seems simple, but if it is not hosted by professionals, you will find many difficulties. They spent several days setting up this stage alone, coordinating all parties, and everyone was exhausted mentally and physically.

The host received a note from Lin Wei: "Welcome to the audition site for "The Goddess of Hong Kong" co-organized by Chalian Beverage Industry and Yashan Clothing. Thank you again for coming. Please abide by the order of the scene and stand on the red line. Watching the game outside, thank you for your cooperation. Our next player will be on stage soon."

"Please step back." The staff wearing work badges and uniforms worked hard to maintain order.

"Whatever you do, don't push it."

"Which of your mothers is brave enough to touch me?"

This scene exceeded everyone's expectations.

To put it bluntly, there is really a lack of entertainment activities nowadays. TV is not popular and the programs are lackluster. Anyway, it is free and everyone comes to join in the fun. Tickets for the Hilton Hotel cost several hundred.

But it's too late for them to realize the problem now.

"If something happens today, it will definitely be the two of us who are held accountable, but I am the big boss, and it is definitely not me who is at fault. It must be the subordinates' poor execution." Lin Wei threatened Su Tianrui when she didn't want to do anything.

She had thought about what to do if there were few people and what to do if there were many people, but she never thought about what to do if there were too many people.

Nor can we fence off the square to prevent people from entering, because the strings pulled by them will be torn apart as soon as we turn our heads.

Hearing what she said, Su Tianrui couldn't bear it and directly shook her off. In the end, sixty or seventy policemen came over.

200 yuan for one day and 600 yuan for three days. The extra income of these policemen is only more than 500 yuan a month, and they all want to make some money.

Police were deployed inside and outside the field to maintain order.

As soon as they saw the police coming, the troublemaking audience calmed down.

Lin Wei wiped a cold sweat. There was really no other way. If there was a stampede accident, she felt that she would have to answer here.

The hosts on the stage also breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know they could create such a big battle before coming here.

He didn't take it seriously during the rehearsal yesterday, but today he was frightened by the rising enthusiasm of the citizens and had to brace himself.

The crowds of spectators shouted in unison: "Shoot the lantern, shoot the lantern!"

The loud noise spread far away, and people who knew it or not were curious about what was going on here.

"Hello everyone, I am contestant No. 022, Chen Manni. I work as a clerk. My ancestral home is Jiangsu. I like singing and listening to music. I am very happy to be here and spend this pleasant time with you." "

Welcome Goddess Manny, may I ask Mann "Why did Ni choose this outfit today? Is there anything special about it?"

"My father bought me this shirt from Paris. I think it's very beautiful in pink and blue. You can't see it in Hong Kong." They are also very slim, my colleague..."

There are only two items in the audition. The first is an introduction about one's own clothing, which mainly tests the contestant's words and expression ability.

The second item is the talent show, which is also a link full of expectations and frequent surprises.

The primary election only screens out some unsuitable people, but it does not guarantee that the talents who come are reliable.

There are many tone-deaf people. As organizers, they are very embarrassed and blame each other.

"I told you, she couldn't do it during the live audition. If you look at someone's good-looking face, you say she's nervous."

"Why, it's my fault. How can so many people not be nervous? I think she's a little nervous. , I'm pretty nice."

"It's pretty cool, just listen to it."

"Don't be angry, drink some milk tea -"

"Stay away, I'm annoying you."

The audience in the audience didn't think much of it. .

The most is to make noises and make people go down.

But after three or five, there is always a good one.

The piano sounded, followed by the girl's ethereal singing -

"The sun in the west is about to set. It's

quiet on the Weishan Lake.

I play my beloved Tu Pipa

and sing that moving ballad -" ② The person

who is in the store Lin Wei suddenly stopped when she heard singing coming from afar.

She straightened up slowly and turned around to look in the direction of the stage.

"Mr. Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin Wei didn't expect to hear this song in the land of Hong Kong City. Hong Kong City and the mainland are like two worlds. They are so close but feel so far away.

One is noisy and the other is gray and rustic, like two lines moving farther and farther apart.

Now a song has suddenly shortened this distance.

There is singing and dancing here, but what is the scene like in the mainland?

What are her parents, her brother doing?

Shi Jingchen was moving the car and wanted to drive it out. He also stopped suddenly when he heard the singing.

The first thing that came to his mind were some movie scenes. He had watched the movie "Railway Guerrillas" many times, and he could never get enough of it when he was a child. Only his grandfather indulged him and took the trouble to accompany him to watch it. He was convinced that his grandfather was the most important person in the world to him. The best person, at that time, would never have thought that he would leave his grandfather alone.

Those distant memories suddenly came back to me.

My heart hurts when I scratch it, and my eyes are sore.

The song is very short. After the host completes the process, the next piece of music starts quickly.

The piano on the stage was rented, and a piano teacher was hired to accompany the contestants. The repertoire was set in advance, but some contestants played the disc directly, especially those who chose to dance.

The dynamic dance music and the girl's rhythmic dance ignited the atmosphere of the whole venue, and the audience's enthusiasm seemed to reach its peak.

"Slap the lights, shoot the lights!" the audience shouted.

The three judges also burst into laughter amidst the cheers of the crowd.

This lamp was specially customized by Lin Wei, and of course it was modeled after later generations of talent shows.

All three lights went straight into the semi-finals.

The design of the lanterns affects the emotions of the audience. Whether and when the judges pat the lanterns have become important points to watch. Whenever a judge pats the lanterns, the audience will burst into cheers.

No wonder later talent shows fell in love with this design. It does make sense.

It was also the first time for several judges to come into contact with this form. It was both novel and exciting, and the indescribable feeling. Such a frenetic stage, both the stage effect and the feeling of being able to control the fate of others were very exciting and attracted everyone. All passionate.

The host, judges, audience, and contestants worked together to maximize the live effect.

The so-called joyful songs and laughter are continuous, and the place is full of excitement.

Not long after, a chorus of people suddenly sounded in the square.

"Love... is just an ordinary thing. It's

not unusual at all.

Man... it's just a thing to relieve guilt.

What's so big about it..." ③

The Chinese lyrics of the song "Carmen" are funny and bold, and the melody is very special. , there is a reason why it has always been prosperous.

The familiar melody immediately aroused everyone's emotions.

"What is love and what is meaning

are not just deceiving ourselves.

What is infatuation and what is obsession

is simply a show by men and women..."

Men and women sing this song together, which is indescribably funny.

The effect can be compared to the chorus of ten thousand people, which cannot be described as shocking.

After staying in Hong Kong City for a long time, you will find that people here do not only speak Cantonese as people imagine. At least more than 50% of the people speak different accents from all over the country. The cinemas show only Mandarin films, and Cantonese films are only a niche. , Cantonese songs are considered to be difficult to be refined in this era, so what everyone hears are either Mandarin songs or English songs. The rise of Cantonese songs probably occurred in the 1970s and 1980s.

The song "Carmen" is so popular that people working in the field are also affected. They start humming unconsciously and can't help but sway their bodies to the rhythm.

Some of Lin Wei's memories also came to life, and her mood soared with the music. While cleaning the counter, she hummed softly to the melody. This was not like an audition at all, but more like a music festival.

The atmosphere is so good. It turns out that people of this era also like music and have fun.

This feeling is reminiscent of later generations -

Wen Jiayue even came out of the booth step by step while dancing to the music, dancing lightly to the music, treating this place as a stage.

"Okay!"

Lin Wei led the others in applauding her.

As a result, Wen Jiayue jumped in front of Lin Wei and stretched out her hand.

The other booth staff immediately cheered and applauded upon seeing this.

"Boss, dance."

"Come on."

Lin Wei pursed her lips and smiled, then smiled and held out her hand to dance with her.

Everyone cheered and beat the music together. Music has this charm.

"If you fall in love with me,

you will be looking for trouble.

If you fall in love with you,

you will die in my hands..."

Shi Jingchen passed through the crowd and saw two girls dancing by the booth.

The smile on Lin Wei's face made him feel strangely strange. She was confident, flamboyant, brisk, and hot. Her light dance steps were very elegant. Her swaying skirt spread out in the air, letting the sun shine with dazzling light. It was an indescribable feeling. nice.

He had never seen her like this before. That shy, shy girl also had such an outgoing side, with her back straight and a look of disdain.

The flash flashed and the dance was frozen for a moment, and Lin Wei heard a "click" sound.

Following the sound, I saw Reporter Zhou coming out with a camera: "Ms. Lin, you are so unreasonable. You didn't notify me of such a big news."
