After the Spiritual Fantasy Film Festival, the beauty pageant of Sister Ya was held vigorously.

After half a month of registration, the number of beauties participating in the competition has now exceeded 150,000, setting a new record.

The number of applicants is so large that it also reflects that Hong Kong society is becoming more inclusive and open, and the people are becoming more confident, brave and willing to show their beauty.

This kind of openness, confidence and inclusion are actually based on Hong Kong's rapid economic growth in recent years.

Although the Hong Kong economy suffered a heavy blow after 88 years of stock market crash, overall, Hong Kong's economy still maintained a rapid growth momentum.

GDP has grown by more than 15% for three consecutive years, and people's income is also growing rapidly. In 1984, the monthly income of ordinary people was only 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, but in just four years, it has increased to 3,000 to 5,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The economic base determines the superstructure. The increase in income and material abundance make Hong Kong people more confident, tolerant and brave enough to accept new things.

For example, when the Hong Kong Miss Beauty Pageant was just launched in 1973, no one dared to participate. The Hong Kong Miss Emcee Xu Guanwen even wanted to launch her sister to support the scene. But now there are 150,000 people bravely participating, which shows that Hong Kong is really a big difference.

The beauty pageant of Sister Asia follows the established procedures, one round of auditions, two rounds of auditions, and three rounds of auditions... ATV is responsible for this, so there is no need to worry about it in the summer.

His main focus is on the American side now.

"The Hangover" is still released. In the first week, the total box office was only 10 million US dollars. With the gathering of masterpieces in the summer, the performance can only be considered as a matter of being unreal and not impressive.

The Los Angeles Times even commented that "the magic of summer disappeared!" The summer has created box office miracles many times before. Several movies such as "Saw", "The Love of Man and Ghost", "Sniper Phone Booth" were well received and popular, which also made the American film industry pay great attention to him, thinking that he is a very amazing genius.

Although this "Hangover" was not directed by him, it was provided by him and invested and produced by him, so it is also regarded as his work.

Now in the first week of release, the box office is only tens of millions of dollars. This kind of result is not satisfactory.

There are always many people in the entertainment industry who are jealous of the virtuous and capable. When you have good luck, they will praise you to the sky; when you start to recite, they will turn against you and step on you to the ground. They will also step on ten thousand feet so that you will never turn over.

When Michael Jackson reached the throne of the king of American pop music with "Thunch" in the 1980s, almost all American media praised him.

And when he broke out false scandals such as Luan Tong and Bleaching, these media knew that he was innocent, but they still had to keep reporting and demonizing him.

Michael Jackson, a singer who was originally loved by the world, became a scandal that turned his back on his ancestors and turned his back on his own.

What happened in summer is similar to Michael Jackson.

There are many people in the United States who are unhappy about him. One is that he is not an American, the other is that he is not a white man, and the third is that his achievements are really impressive. These three points alone have made many people feel angry.

However, when Xia Tian was in power, these people were all silenced and would not fight him head-on. And when he started to be in trouble, these people were ready to move.

This is like a pack of wolves. Every male wolf has the intention of being superior, but they will not easily challenge the wolf. Because once the challenge is not successful, it will be exposed and will be expelled from the pack.

So it must wait for the opportunity. Once the head wolf shows signs of aging, it will be eager to try. However, it will not challenge the male wolf at the first time, but will start by snatching its food and snatching its spouse.

If the head wolf can show its power, the male wolf that provokes will retreat. If the head wolf retreats, it will press forward step by step until it completely replaces the head wolf's position.

Now the media publishes such articles, which are testing. If summer cannot show off their muscles in time, they will rise up like male wolves, attack them, spread rumors, slander, and slander them until they are completely destroyed.

Xia Tian also knew this, so he closely monitored the changes in the box office.

At this time, only a high box office can truly resolve his crisis. As for various other public relations methods, it can only solve the symptoms but not the root cause, and it cannot solve the fundamental problem.

"I hope I don't disappoint me, I must achieve a high box office. Otherwise, I will be in trouble." Xia Tian muttered.

Although he is very confident in "The Hangover", he is a little sloppy now because it is very important.

It is so difficult to be a successful person. When you succeed continuously, you can no longer afford to lose. It is not that you can't afford to lose yourself, but that the outside world makes you unable to afford to lose. They already have very high expectations for you, and once you lose and disappoint them, they may backfire you.

Just like Zhou Xingchi. Before "Journey to the West", there was a rumor on the Internet that "I owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket". It is this sentiment that made "The Mermaid" achieve a box office of nearly 3.4 billion yuan. Stephen Chow's popularity was unparalleled.

After "Journey to the West", there was another rumor on the Internet that "Zhou Xingchi owed us a movie ticket". He was scolded for being Jiang Lang for having enough talent, making bad movies, selling feelings, cheating movie fans of money, and asking him to return the ticket money.

This treatment is really a day and a sigh!

"A Tian, ​​why are you so depressed? What are you thinking?" Lin Qingxia stretched out her hand and stroked his forehead and said, "I don't want to see your forehead tightly. If you have any worries, you can tell me."

"It's nothing big." Xia Tian smiled when she heard her say this, "Don't worry about me."

"The more you say this, the more I worry. Tell me, do you still treat me as an outsider?" Lin Qingxia became more concerned when she saw him hiding her cover up.

With Xia Tian's current power and status, he should be as good as he wants and can do everything. But now he frowned, and it was obvious that something was going on.

Although she can't help him solve big problems, she can still help him share some troubles and relieve the pressure.

"Actually, nothing big is going on, that's it..." Xia Tian told the story of "The Hangover"'s poor box office, and of course it greatly diluted its severity because he didn't want Lin Qingxia to worry about him.

"The American media is really harsh. It's already very good to win 10 million US dollars in the first week. As for whether the words are so ugly!" After listening to the random narrative, Lin Qingxia angrily argued for Xia Tian.

"The Hangover" costs 20 million US dollars. As long as you win $30 million in the North American box office, you can make money. Now, the first week of $10 million is now, and the results are already very good, and you have the hope of making money.

Under such circumstances, these media are still messing around, which is really annoying.

"There's no way, who made me an outsider?" Xia Tian smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about me. Sooner or later, I will slap them hard with a high box office."
