It is no secret that this is this year's Hong Kong sister champion Song Wanying, a Mixed-race Chinese-Portuguese child, graduated from the University of Toronto in Canada, 22 years old this year. The public's evaluation of her appearance is mainly divided into two types, one is to feel that she is atmospheric:
One is to feel that it is not foreign enough:
If you think this result is a bit unsatisfactory, you may wish to look at the other players who lost to Song Wanying -
Runner-up Liang Kaiqing:
Runner-up Shao Chu:
and other popular contestants:
How to say it, the appearance of these beautiful women in the mainland, is simply the level that The Little Red Book netizens do not want to open.
After the millennium, the level of Hong Kong sisters has already fallen off a cliff, and one year is not as good as a year, and the audience has long been tired. Last year's Hong Kong sister champion Xie Jiayi could not help but make people feel that "Hong Kong sister is beautiful again", and when she won the award, she was also known as the Hong Kong version of Di Li Reba.
Compared with Di Li Reba, a beautiful woman with exotic feelings, I feel that Di Li Reba is better:
Who could have predicted that Xie Jiayi's debut is the peak, and a year later, she was in a mess by TVB, when will the earthy aesthetic of the Hong Kong circle change! The so-called "Hong Kong style" is particularly popular in the mainland now, but the following is really not a Hong Kong wind.
Some people say that Xie Jiayi has degenerated from Di Li Reba to a ghost Wu Yingjie, and the ghosts and ghosts all shook their heads and said what kind of god-level porcelain this is, look at the painting style after people come to the mainland to develop, the advanced one is not a little:
Once upon a time, there was a popular saying in Hong Kong circles: the most representative of Hong Kong is not the clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui, not the old lining pavilion of Victoria Peak, nor ocean park, but Miss Hong Kong, who was once the loudest city card in Hong Kong.
If nothing else, the degree of beauty of Hong Kong sisters at that time was almost a per capita plastic surgery template, such as the 1988 champion Li Jiaxin:
Chen Farong in 1989:
Yuan Yongyi in 1990:
Guo Aiming in 1991 and others:
Comparing the current Hong Kong sister Song Wanying, it cannot be said that it is the level of a complete passerby, but it cannot be placed in the Gathering Point of Internet celebrities such as Taikoo Li, Sanlitun and Kerry Center, nor can it provoke photographers to scramble to carry the camera.
Including TVB 40 years of dance, 40 years ago you opened the TV to see the colorful advanced beauty, 40 years later you look at the still colorful stage, there is always a dizzy feeling of walking into the urban and rural combination of the nightclub.
(40 years ago)
(40 years later)
Not to mention that our internal entertainment is a relatively large stage, Jingmei's stage is more than this, right?!
The regression of Hong Kong sister also reflects the regression of the entire Hong Kong circle. In the past, the Hong Kong entertainment industry can always hold out many myths, and now the star-making power of the Hong Kong circle is more like a joke in the eyes of internal entertainment, why say so, because it is the remaining set of internal entertainment.
Twenty years ago, if you were to ask who the most popular star in Hong Kong was, fans would have been able to argue about it endlessly. But twenty years later, Hong Kong's most popular "top stream" is left with only one name, Jiang Tao.
How red is he?
Fans made virtual currency with his name, and the price was speculated to more than $400 at its highest price:
On Jiang Tao's 22nd birthday, fans spent 500,000 yuan to help him in streets, buses, subway stations and other places, and the pomp and circumstance was absolutely enough:
After Jiang Tao became famous, he took over dozens of endorsements, becoming the idol with the most endorsements and the strongest ability to absorb gold in Hong Kong, how many Hong Kong stars can not be envied, and fans have only one attitude: buy!
From "girlfriend powder" to "grandmother powder", young fans are responsible for empty bottle slaughter square, and older fans are responsible for purchasing power, how strong is the combat effectiveness of "ginger candy"?
Let's put it this way, TVB once cosified Jiang Tao in a show, while imitating Jiang Tao's signature heart action, while ridiculing "hit you to become Jiang Rong":
Such a joke caused the extreme dissatisfaction of "Ginger Candy", frantically brushing the diss program group and related actors, and finally forcing Feng Yingying, Lin Shengbin, Deng Zhijian and other predecessors to apologize one by one:
The further development of the situation is that TVB pinched a character who alluded to Jiang Tao in the popular drama "Love Homecoming", leaving a golden sentence: The onion head is not red, and the heavens are difficult to tolerate.
Is this series of operations familiar? When The Inner Entertainment has long gone all out to carry out the "rectification of the rice circle" action, the Hong Kong circle is still reproducing the outdated things of the inner entertainment.
Speaking of which, you may be curious, Jiang Tao, who is it?
As early as 2017, 18-year-old Jiang Tao came to the inner entertainment dream showbiz circle, participated in "Happy Male Voice", and finally stopped at the top 30:
Jiang Tao, the "little transparent" in Hunan Satellite TV, shined in TVB the next year, participated in the "Good Night Show National Star-Making" commonly known as "Hong Kong Version 101", and finally made his debut in popularity and formed a group MIRROR.
"Ginger Candy" always likes to say that Jiang Tao is gold and will always shine, in fact, it is not, why did Jiang Tao fail to make his debut in the entertainment? Because the internal entertainment is full of gold, only Hong Kong, which is full of stones, will regard Jiang Tao as a "purple micro star descending from heaven". Take Hunan Satellite TV, in the past, TVB fans more or less looked down on the satellite TV "ceiling" of this internal entertainment, but now the volume of a single Hunan Satellite TV is more than ten times that of TVB, whether it is star-making ability or world influence, it is already beyond TVB's reach.
There is no meaning to laugh at Jiang Tao, but xiaobian feels that Jiang Tao can become the "C position" in this show is really well-deserved, after all, the level of other contestants, emmm... Hard to choose, Xiaobian also chose Jiang Tao.
Hot knowledge: The year of Jiang Tao's debut was also the year when Cai Xukun became a "giant C" of internal entertainment through "Idol Trainee".
And the Hong Kong media also love to take Jiang Tao against the standard Cai Xukun, but everyone is "top stream", whether it is looks or strength, the difference is not a little ah... Cai Xukun also has a gold-encrusted "Lover"!
(Left Cai Xukun; Right Jiang Tao)
With the emergence of Jiang Tao, the Hong Kong music scene has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Hong Kong music fans will not be unfamiliar with the "Billboard Pop Chart Awards Ceremony", which is the most authoritative music award that directly represents the popularity, most of the awards are based on the song's playback rate in the 903, and the transparency is very high.
It can be said that the "List of Songs" is the vane of the entire Hong Kong music scene.
Looking at the first edition of the winner list, the gold, silver and bronze award winners of the male singers in the music scene are Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin and Chen Baiqiang, while the female singers gold, silver and bronze trophies are Ye Qianwen, Chen Huixian and Lin Yilian.
At that time, almost all the winners were monopolized by the four heavenly kings, Faye Wong, Ye Qianwen, Lin Yilian and other singers; after the millennium, the resident list also had Eason Chan, Gu Juji, Xu Zhi'an, Yung Zu'er, Zhang Jingxuan, etc., and almost everyone had a famous song that spread throughout the north and south of the river.
But in 2020, Jiang Tao actually snatched the trophy of "My Favorite Male Singer" from the hands of Eason Chan, Zheng Zhongji, Mai Junlong and others, and the audience was stunned, even Jiang Tao himself was confused. Jiang Tao, who was only 21 years old at the time, also became the youngest winner of this award in the history of Ling zhao.
Of course, you can not know who Jiang Tao is, and even Jiang Tao himself has no masterpieces to come up with, but it does not prevent fans from collectively canvassing the list, and everyone sends Jiang Tao to the throne with one vote.
Because, fans have the biggest say in the award, and this is also the current situation of "traffic is king" in the Hong Kong music scene. In the past thirty or forty years, singers have spoken by strength, and then can expand the market to harvest fans, in 1992, Aaron Kwok lost to Li Guoxiang, who was unknown but had a bunch of "fever discs", no one will feel strange; but now, the Hong Kong music scene has reproduced the set of Korean idol music stars, creating the first "should help" idol Jiang Tao, no wonder fans collectively exclaimed, "The music world is dead".
Music is dead Music: Wu Linfeng - The music world is dead
(After Jiang Tao won the award, Xiao Ke, a famous lyricist in the Hong Kong music scene, wrote such a song)
The lyrics reveal that it is the Hong Kong music scene that is powerless to push the new, can only tire of publishing a variety of classic old songs at a high price to reproduce the leeks that cut the fans, the Hong Kong music scene can die, but as long as the fans do not die, this business will eventually be done.
It is not only Hong Kong sisters and the Hong Kong music scene that are in decline, but also the popularity of TVB and Hong Kong films in recent years.
TVB intends to introduce the old, for senior Hong Kong drama fans, mention TVB's "four big flower Dan", the mind is the first generation of zhao Yazhi, Wang Mingquan, Li Siqi, Huang Shuyi and the second generation of Guan Yonghe, Shao Meiqi, Guo Aiming and Chen Songling's figures; the "four big flower Dan" that the post-90s audience is more familiar with is Cai Shaofen, Xuan Xuan, Chen Huishan, Guo Keying and Hu Xing'er, Zhong Jiaxin, Chen Fara, Xu Zishan.
With the change of the times, TVB has also been urgently cultivating a new generation of pawn Hua Dan, helpless in recent years TVB has not been serious, and finally by the audience screened out a new generation of "four small flower Dan" successors, respectively Chen Xiaohua, Hong Kong sister champion, the representative work "Lost Net":
He Yiting, who is also from Hong Kong, has a representative work "Moonlight on the Fifth Day of October":
Film and television songs comprehensively develop Dai Zuyi, representative work "Criminal Investigation Diary":
Post-00 actress You Jiaxin, representative work "Hong Kong Love Story":
They have the same characteristics, young, inexperienced, and the audience wants to ask: Who are you?
TVB newcomers are not as popular as desired, and the new generation of actors in Hong Kong movies is also facing a fault line.
Hong Kong films in the most brilliant time only care about the immediate interests, a brain to use popular actors, completely do not give newcomer actors the opportunity, do not pay attention to the establishment of formal film and television academies to train young actors, resulting in the Hong Kong films we see now, is still a number of familiar "old faces", director Er Dongsheng as early as ten years ago complained about the problem of "faults" of Hong Kong actors, ten years later, this problem has not been solved.
What about the inner entertainment side? How many young actors have long been able to stand alone, Zhou Dongyu after the 90s has already won the "three gold" Grand Slams, and the post-90s Hong Kong actors are still matching the old drama bone fringing.
Since the development of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Hong Kong people may not necessarily recognize who is on the screen when they turn on the TV, and even the parents have no short desire; the mainland audiences turn on the TV and see the old faces of Hong Kong and Taiwan who have jumped out of their memories, and the collective escape of Hong Kong stars has also confirmed the regression of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
The difficulties in the Harbor Circle are caused by themselves step by step. At the end of the golden age of the Hong Kong circle, they fell into the limitations of self-knowledge, when the outside world has long taken the initiative to absorb popular culture, they still stay in the old set of values, do not understand or even disdain change, in the field of mass entertainment, Hong Kong manufacturing continues to conservatively repeat the past experience, when the top pillars of the Hong Kong circle are old one by one, there is a serious shortage of newcomers who can carry the banner of the future, comedy films are less innovative, action movies lack stars, crime movies lack themes... The poor environment has buried the opportunity for newcomers to emerge, and has also forced a large number of talents to go north to make a living. When the Hong Kong circle realized this and began to draw a picture of the gourd in the standard, it was already too late.
In contrast, in internal entertainment, various explosive film and television dramas and variety shows emerge in an endless stream, and newcomers dream of the showbiz circle seems to be extremely relaxed, but hong Kong and Taiwan artists who intend to become popular through the hands of the mainland are not so popular.
When the light of the golden age gradually dissipated, the boring and stale Harbor circle was only a sigh.
