Recently, the organizing committee of TVB's "Miss Hong Kong 2024" announced the list of 25 people who will be promoted after two rounds of re-examination and some personal information that can be disclosed, which has attracted the attention of many media and netizens. Among them, the oldest, 26-year-old Xie Shuyi, has become the focus of attention from the outside world, because she has a very brilliant resume and is a top student.
It is reported that Tse Shuyi is a pianist, since the age of 6 at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, she studied with the famous local pianists Xu Ning and Guo Jiate, and after graduating in 2016, she entered the Oberlin Conservatory of Music (Oberlin Conservatory of Music) to obtain a bachelor's degree in music, and soon after entered the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins (Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins). University) completed a master's degree and received a scholarship and the highest honor, the Piano Memorial Award.
In 2018, she won second prize at the New York International Piano Competition, in 2021 she won second prize and best performance in arrangement at the Liszt International Piano Competition in Los Angeles, and in 2022, she won the Golden Classical Music International Competition in New York. She was also invited to perform at Carnegie Hall, one of the very few new pianists in Hong Kong's classical music scene.
In an interview with TVB, Tse Shuyi said that she has signed up for many piano competitions since she was a child, but it is the first time to sign up for a beauty pageant, hoping to increase her knowledge and shine on the special stage of "Miss Hong Kong", and she very much agrees with the concept and slogan of the competition, and feels that she can break the stereotype of women in the outside world and show the characteristics of female diversity in the new era.
In the Q&A video, Tse Shuyi also showed a high emotional intelligence side. For example, when drawing objects representing TVB, she chose TVB's mascot and added a five-pointed star and the number "1", emphasizing that TVB has accompanied Hong Kong audiences for many years and will always be the most shining star and the highest-rated TV station in Hong Kong.
Some people may think that it is too sleek and suspicious of "shoe shine", but this kind of improvisation and high emotional intelligence are exactly what you need to join the entertainment industry.
In addition, Xie Shuyi's gentleness and intellectuality in the Q&A session are also a plus. In this way, she has both fresh ideas and traditional temperament, and she is still born locally, not tall or short, with great talent and excellent academic qualifications, which can be called the most ideal template for Sister Hong Kong.
The editor believes that the combination of these factors can completely offset the shortcomings of relatively old age and relatively average appearance, and it is well deserved to be regarded as a favorite for the championship (I am optimistic that she will enter the top five).
Finally, I would like to say that "Miss Hong Kong" is one of TVB's most important brands and IPs, and this year's ability to retain such talents after experiencing a number of popular exits (note: the majority of the 25 people are highly educated) proves that it still has a good attraction to young women in Hong Kong, especially elite women; If the senior management can continue to work hard and uphold fairness, and finally give a credible result, it will definitely be beneficial to the company's future development. PS: Please don't compete with the talent show next door anymore for MK girls
