Miss Hong Kong + Jacky Cheung
The annual Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant is like the "Spring Festival Gala" in Hong Kong, which ushers in a reincarnation every year in the expectations, losses, boredom and expectations of Hong Kong citizens.
In the latest Hong Kong Sister Competition, it can be seen that the determination of the organizer TVB to seek a breakthrough is extremely strong.
This year's Hong Kong Sisters Top 12
Because this time, in addition to the innovation and change in the form of the beauties, more importantly, they invited Jacky Cheung.
In the face of the huge pressure of declining ratings, Zeng Zhiwei, as the vice president of TVB, invited his long-time friend Jacky Cheung to come as a guest of honor, and once used "on the night of the final, there will be a 'god-level superstar' appearing" as an eye-catching gimmick.
Jacky Cheung also joked that he had not been a Hong Kong sister performing guest for many years because he was inconvenient to do this work, after all, there was a wife and daughter at home, and he was afraid of being photographed by the camera to see the picture of jiali, which had a bad impact.
Sure enough, as soon as Xueyou Brother appeared on the scene, he conquered the stage with amazing and solid singing skills. He sang "Spring Wind and Autumn Rain", "Li Xianglan" and "Love is Eternal Three Songs" with the accompaniment of the orchestra, and sang the new song "Let the Street Lamp Sleep Peacefully at Sunrise" with Malaysian Chinese singer Li Xingni, which set off a climax.
Many netizens commented: "It's almost like going to xueyou's concert."
But such a "hustle and bustle" actually highlights the embarrassment of hong Kong sisters today.
We can take a look at the top three, namely the third runner-up Shao Chu, the runner-up Liang Kaiqing, and the champion Song Wanying.
The entire final was set against the backdrop of "ancient civilization", but judging from the video shot and the costumes on the spot, it was still not satisfactory.
The most innovative idea is a video of 12 beautiful ladies transforming into "Valkyries" and fighting monsters to save the phoenix.
However, limited to the conditions and shooting level of the beauties themselves, it looks like the painting style of a domestic online game advertisement, and also invites Hengdian group performances.
And the scene of the "goddess under the mortal" link, there are also a lot of thunder people dressed. The belles are dressed up like Athena or Wonder Woman, but they look very copycat.
These ideas should have the credit of Wang Zulan, tvb's chief creative officer, who sat offstage. The Hong Kong entertainer, who is famous for his "ever-changing celebrity show" on the mainland, obviously has the urge to disguise the beauties.
It can only be said that the god of song is still the same, and the beauty is gone.

How beautiful Hong Kong sister used to be
Those beautiful names in the history of Hong Kong sisters: Maggie Cheung, Yuan Yongyi, She Shiman, Zhao Yazhi, Li Jiaxin, Chen Farong, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Zhilin, Qiu Shuzhen... I don't know how many Chinese men appear in their dreams.
A history of Hong Kong sisters is an aesthetic history of modern Chinese.
Since TVB took over the hosting in 1973, the beauty of "Miss Hong Kong" has increased dramatically with the spread of television technology.
Those stars who once shined in the "Hong Kong Sisters" were not only the leaders of the beautiful trend at that time, but even many years later, they still became the talk of the general public.
For example, the champion in 1973, the second generation of immigrants from Shanghai, Deborah. Her exquisite face, which is known as 360 degrees without dead angles, and her curvy and beautiful figure have opened up the aesthetic standards of the Hong Kong people for sexy beauties, and all the sexy beauties at that time were named "Little Deborah".
Such a beautiful woman naturally also attracted the hero to bend the waist, the gambling king He Hongshen, the movie star Xie Xian, all of them had a fragrant affair with her, and finally Xie Xian hugged the beauty, and later the son of the two was Xie Tingfeng.

Four years later, the daughter of a Burmese overseas Chinese won the Hong Kong Sisters Championship that year, and she also won the "Most Photogenic Award", the first beauty to win these two awards. She is Zhu Lingling, but she only surprised on the stage for a short time, and was married by the wealthy Hong Kong businessman Huo Zhenting back home, Jin Wu Hidden Jiao. Her son is Huo Qigang, and her daughter-in-law is Guo Jingjing.
In 1979, Hong Kong's record holder in the women's high jump at the time, high jumper Cheng Wenya crossed the competition, and even won the championship and the "most photogenic award".
After winning the championship, she was popular with tv stations, starred in many film and television dramas, and later based on her figure, she produced a sculpture of the goddess of the Hong Kong Film Awards.
She also led a trend, that is, to set a precedent for Hong Kong sisters and well-known actresses to shoot L-body photo albums. In 1986, the Chinese edition of Playboy, published in Hong Kong by Cheng Ching-han, Zheng Wenya was the cover girl of the inaugural issue, and the semi-nude "Zheng Wenya Photo Album" was published at the same time.
In 1983, the most important "Hong Kong sister" in history came, that is, Maggie Cheung, who won the "runner-up" and "Best Photogenic Award". Maggie Cheung left Hong Kong with her parents at the age of 8 to immigrate to the United Kingdom, returned to Hong Kong to visit relatives at the age of 17, was found to be engaged in modeling work by scouts, and became popular at the age of 18 to participate in the Hong Kong Sister Competition, and since then, she has a broad star and has become one of the most well-known actresses in the Chinese world.
In 1988, she came, and she came with the laurel of "the most beautiful Hong Kong sister in history" that had not yet been broken, and she was Li Jiaxin. Li Jiaxin is a mixed-race Chinese and Portuguese, when her father left her mother and daughter because of an affair when she was very young, she followed her mother to live the lowest life in Hong Kong. Since the age of 14, he has been working part-time as a model to earn tuition and subsidize his family.
When she was 18 years old, she had not yet reached the final, and her appearance in the preliminary round alone made many people recognize her as the champion of this year.
In 1991, the most "deserved" champion in the history of Hong Kong Sister was released, and she was Guo Aiming.
She broke the academic record of Hong Kong sister. She holds a master's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Southern California, and was originally able to become an engineer at NASA after completing an internship at NASA. Who knew that when she returned to Hong Kong for a vacation, she participated in the Hong Kong Sister Competition on a whim and won the championship, and the third runner-up in that session was Cai Shaofen.
The performance on the night of the final was Egyptian-themed, with the four kings playing the role of a different prince and taking turns performing song and dance with the champion Guo Aiming.
After the song and dance, the four heavenly kings asked, "Which one of us do you like?" Guo Aiming did not choose a single one, and she finally chose the black and thick boy Liu Qingyun.
Bringing together Chinese people from all over the world in Hong Kong, all kinds of beautiful women emerge in an endless stream, in the history of Hong Kong sisters, let us be amazed by:
Yuan Yongyi:
Liang Xiaoice:
Zhou Haimei:
Ada:
Qiu Shuzhen:
Guan Zhilin:
Just as the Hong Kong entertainment industry flourished in the Chinese world in the 80s and 90s, Miss Hong Kong's beauty is also unique.
With their good looks, charming figures, and elegant temperament, they awakened the aesthetic cells of all the Chinese people of that era, and their makeup, dress, speech and demeanor were imitated by Chinese women in other regions, just like the "Bible of Beauty".
For decades, Miss Hong Kong has been at the forefront of the beauty of Chinese women. So why is it that Hong Kong, which was once a beautiful person, is now so beautiful that it is difficult to find?

Where have all the beauties of Hong Kong gone?
The "disappearance" of Hong Kong beauties is due to many reasons, and the decline in the age-appropriate population is one of them.
Hong Kong's female population aged 15-24, the age at which hong Kong sisters happened to be chosen, fell from 448,000 to 359,000 in three years. The real beauty is to choose one out of ten thousand, and hong Kong's school-age population is only more than 300,000, and it is impossible for everyone to participate, and then remove minors, obviously in the population base is not enough to support the Hong Kong sister beauty pageant held every year.
In addition, the glory of Hong Kong's entertainment industry has long passed. More celebrities and artists will no longer value the Hong Kong market, but will shift their focus to the larger mainland market.
After being elected as a Hong Kong sister, she either has the opportunity to marry into a giant, or she is to be praised by TVB as a popular star. It can be described as an opportunity to "step up to the sky".
As the manufacturer of "Hong Kong Sister", TVB has not returned to the past few years with the decline of Hong Kong's entertainment industry. At the end of the 90s, only the names of two Hong Kong sisters were remembered. One was 1997 runner-up Charmaine Sheh. She later starred in "The Desire of the Golden Branch", which won the Hong Kong annual rating championship with the highest rating of 41 points. The other is the 1999 champion Guo Xianni, who became popular with "In Search of Qin".

Hong Kong Sister has long been no longer a way to "ascend to the sky in one step". Last year's popular Hong Kong sister champion Xie Jiayi, in addition to the "L photo" scandal and gained a little weight in the past year, there is no chance to be on the news, let alone the starring works. She is known as the "most beautiful Hong Kong sister" in recent years, and it is no wonder that the title of Hong Kong sister is becoming less attractive to young and high-quality women in Hong Kong, and many people are reluctant to sign up.
In recent years, many Hong Kong artists can only rely on "eating the old" to brush up on the sense of existence.
Like the so-called "Tianlong Eight" crew reunion, "Shooting Eagle" crew reunion, "Big Talk WestWard Journey" crew reunion, most of all "Ancient Puzzle Boy" reunion, etc., occasionally once or twice can be done, but people over half a hundred years old also have to dress up in ten or twenty years old costumes, speaking a broken Mandarin, eating is a bit ugly.
I have to sigh, where did the Hong Kong entertainment industry, which was full of creativity and talents fighting, go?
Perhaps the most beautiful things can only live in people's memories.
