Huayu: Director started with art films

"Marcia!"

"Insia!"

As each beauty dressed in her national costume stood in front of the microphone, she shouted out the name of her country with great grace.

The applause at the scene never stopped.

The audience in front of the TV were overwhelmed by the show and were all discussing which country's beauty was the most beautiful.

There are beauties from more than 30 countries in total, and each one has a different beauty. Some have oval faces, some have square faces...

But without exception, these people's face shapes, facial features and makeup all give people a sense of beauty and elegance.

This is countless times better than the internet celebrity face that almost walked out of a hospital decades later.

The audience were also whispering to each other, wondering which of the beauties was prettier.

The one with the most delicate facial features is probably the Thai beauty Padjongpa Sachu.

Unlike the common appearance of women in Southeast Asia, she has deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, a small mouth, fair skin, and a bit of a mixed-race look.

However, the information shows that she is of pure Thai descent and both her parents are Thai.

If we talk about the best figure, it may be Indian beauty Kareena...

After the last contestant announced the name of her country, they all left the stage. Huang Zihua walked to the front of the stage with a smile and began to introduce the rules of today's beauty pageant finals.

The rules are very simple and are divided into three parts: a fashion show, a talent show, and a question-and-answer session.

Based on the three stages, the judges gave them different scores. Those with higher scores advanced to the quarterfinals, semi-finals, and even to the final competition for the championship, runner-up and third place.

After Huang Zihua finished explaining the rules of the competition, Wan Qiwen, who was wearing an evening gown, came over. She smiled and picked up the microphone and said, "Dear audience members, let us welcome the first contestant, Ms. Yukie Nakama from Japan."

Accompanied by applause, Yukie Nakama, who is only sixteen years old this year, walked slowly from the backstage in a Japanese kimono.

If the Miss Asia beauty pageant wants to become a hit, it must change its previous pageant strategy. Huo Wenxi adopted the suggestions of TV station directors and created the first policy of not limiting the age of contestants.

Other countries naturally responded.

Although there is no age limit for candidates, many people cannot even make it through the auditions. Both the old and the young are eliminated.

The youngest among them is the Japanese beauty Yukie Nakama, who is only sixteen years old this year.

The oldest contestant was Gong Xuehua from Taiwan, who was 47 years old. When she registered, she said she was years old. She successfully passed the audition and made it to the semi-finals with her baby face.

If the Thai media hadn't revealed that her real age was nearly 50, she might have made it to the finals.

Looking at Yukie Nakama who was coming out, Cai Lan whispered, "Director Li, this is the youngest contestant in this year's Miss Asia beauty pageant. The oldest one is Gong Xuehua. Can you guess how old she really is?"

Li Yishu smiled and said, "I read in the newspaper, and it seemed to say that he was in his forties?"

"47 years old!" Cai Lan said with emotion: "I also participated in the Chinese competition from beginning to end. I didn't expect that after hunting geese all day, I would be pecked by geese one day. Gong Xuehua is really aging against time. She is only a few years younger than me, but it feels like we are from two different generations."

"Is she really that young?" Li Yishu raised his eyebrows. He had seen photos of Gong Xuehua in the newspaper, but she didn't look that young.

Cai Lan nodded: "Really young, looks about thirty years old."

“Then it must be well maintained.”

Li Yishu has seen many beauties who are growing younger than they actually are in the entertainment industry, just like Li Xiaoran who participated in the finals this year. He remembers that when she starred in "Joy of Life", she was already in her forties, but she still looked like a mature woman in her thirties.

While the two were chatting, Nakama Yukie had already walked to the microphone, politely saluted the audience and judges, and then said: "Kuang Nijiwa..."

As Yukie Nakama began to introduce herself, Joey Meng beside her also held up a cue card and said, "Ms. Yukie Nakama, I am sixteen years old and was born in Okinawa..."

Huang Zihua, who was standing next to her, heard this and suddenly picked up the microphone to interrupt: "Wenwen, it's not Okinawa."

"Ah?!" Wan Qiwen looked at him in confusion.

Seeing that she didn't react, Huang Zihua immediately took the microphone and said: "Dear viewers in front of the TV and in the live audience, let me give you some knowledge. Okinawa used to be called..."

The audience exclaimed in amazement!
Cai Lan frowned. During the competition, he liked this thoughtful young host very much. He was afraid that his presumptuous words would cause dissatisfaction from Li Yishu. Just when he was about to say a few words, he saw Li Yishu smiling and applauding.

When he applauded, Cai Lan was stunned.

But I immediately realized that Director Li was from mainland China, and I quickly followed suit and applauded.

The judges around who could not understand Mandarin saw Lee Yi-su clapping and thought that she had said something interesting, so they started clapping immediately. Even the Japanese Hojo Tsukasa followed suit.

The judges took the lead in applauding, and the Chinese audience followed suit.

"What is he talking about!"

Although the big boss applauded, the director on the scene was furious.

Because of this mistake, no one would bother the big boss, but only the little guys like them. The director on the scene immediately shouted with the intercom: "Turn off Huang Zihua's microphone and let Wan Qiwen speak!"

Immediately, the director turned the camera to Gigi Wong.

Seeing Director Li leading the applause, Huang Zihua was about to say a few words when he found that the microphone was silent. He then understood what it meant and said to Wan Qiwen with a smile, "Hurry up and continue reading your lines."

"oh oh!"

Wan Qiwen responded and said with a smile: "Thank you Huahua for the popular science. Then let us continue to introduce Nakama Yukie..."

It was a small episode. Due to the language barrier and the fact that there were not many Japanese audiences at the scene, even the translator beside Hojo Tsukasa was just evasive.

As the sixteen beauties took turns to show themselves on stage, no one cared about the performance mistake that had just happened.

However, Huang Zihua's remarks just now caused a huge storm among the Chinese audience at the scene, including the audience in front of the TV.

"Who is this host? He's amazing. He dares to speak out in such a big competition!"

"What do you mean by being blunt? I think it's just grandstanding. This happened so many years ago. What's the point of fishing?"

"It's terrible to be uneducated. You don't even know what fishing is!"

"..."

The audience at the scene and in front of the TV began to talk about it.

Cai Lan also whispered: "Director Li, Huang Zihua didn't mean it, he just..."

"Mr. Cai, I understand what you mean, needless to say."

Li Yishu smiled and said, "Although today's occasion is not suitable for such remarks, I support Huang Zihua."

"I'm glad Director Li understands." Cai Lan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Huang Zihua is very talented. I really like his stand-up comedy. If Director Li is interested, he might as well go back and watch his personal performance." "No problem."

Li Yishu readily agreed, glanced at the audience behind him, and said, "Mr. Cai, tell Huang Zihua later that there will probably be a big storm of public opinion following today's incident. Tell him to hold on."

At this time, public intellectuals are rampant. They not only worship the United States, but also have a filter for the more economically developed Japan.

Maybe, after the finals are over, in tomorrow's newspapers, not only will the Japanese scold Huang Zihua, but I guess there will be public intellectuals here who will also criticize him.

These public intellectuals do not proceed from the facts, but instead use the relationship between the two countries as an excuse to criticize Huang Zihua for disrupting normal exchanges between the two countries.

"The next one to appear is Chinese beauty Li Xiaoran. Li Xiaoran is 19 years old this year. She graduated from the Yanjing Dance Academy and joined the Yanjing Song and Dance Troupe. She has been dancing since she was a child..."

As Joey Meng introduced her, Li Xiaoran, wearing a tight cheongsam, walked out of the backstage with grace and elegance.

Previously, because there were so many beauties on the scene, many audiences were dazzled. Now she appeared alone, wearing a light and elegant cheongsam, paired with fiery red lips and long wavy hair, which was a change from the graceful image of a Jiangnan woman before, and made the audience's eyes light up.

Li Xiaoran is a woman with a melon-shaped face and a tall figure. The elegant cheongsam and heavy wavy makeup create a great visual impact.

"Li Xiaoran's look has changed so much!"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Cai Lan was surprised and asked, "Did the makeup artist change to a different person?"

Li Yishu smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"

Cai Lan said: "It's very different. Before, she was the graceful girl from the south of the Yangtze River, but now she is a fashionable urban beauty."

"Haha, it seems that the makeup I recommended is very suitable for her."

"Did Director Li suggest Li Xiaoran change her makeup?"

"Yes, the lighting is too bright. If she still wears the light makeup she wore before, she will look very pale."

Hearing this, Cai Lan glanced at the lamppost above his head and nodded slightly. Director Li was indeed a great director. He even took the on-site lighting into consideration. This makeup was not only eye-catching, but also added a touch of charm under the lighting.

After all sixteen beauties had introduced themselves, it was time to score their country's national costumes.

The sixteen beauties formed a semicircle, with two hosts standing in the middle.

The first person to come forward was Yukie Nakama. When she came between the two hosts, she bowed politely.

Huang Zihua finally turned on the microphone again. He smiled and said, "Please ask the judges to rate Ms. Nakama Yukie!"

After all ten judges wrote their scores on the drawing board, they raised their signs together.

Only Li Yishu did not hold up a sign. He is the chief judge. To put it bluntly, he will only give scores during the final competition for the championship. However, he will also comment on each contestant during the period, and of course, most of them are good words.

The scores given by the ten judges were all above 9.5 points, with the highest score being 9.9 points from Hojo Tsukasa and the lowest score being 9.5 points from a Korean judge.

Huang Zihua asked: "During the on-site review, Mr. Hojo Tsukasa gave the highest score of 9.9, which is almost a perfect score. I wonder why Mr. Hojo Tsukasa gave this score?"

After the translator finished translating, Hojo Tsukasa picked up the microphone and said, "Nakama Yukie is very beautiful. She looks very dignified in this traditional Japanese kimono..."

Balabala, it's all praise anyway.

About thirty seconds later, Huang Zihua interrupted and said, "Thank you for Mr. Hojo Tsukasa's comments. Then may I ask Mr. Jin Minxing why you gave the lowest score of 9.5 points?"

"First of all, the lowest score is only relative. 9.5 is a very high score in my opinion. As you all know, I am a writer, and I often write about female characters..."

Korean writer Kim Min-heung naturally has his own interpretation of the score he gave.

After Huang Zihua asked for the highest and lowest scores according to the competition rules, he turned his attention to Li Yishu, the chairman of the TV station and an international director.

Thinking of the fact that he was the first to applaud, Huang Zihua was still very grateful to the big boss in his heart, and immediately asked with a smile: "I wonder if I should call him Director Li, or the boss or BOSS?"

The audience burst into laughter.

The judges already knew that Lee Yi-seok was the owner of the TV station. After hearing the translation, they all looked at Lee Yi-seok who was sitting in the middle with interest.

"I am both the director and the boss, but I prefer to be called the chief judge."

"why?"

Li Yishu laughed and said, "If you keep asking, I'll have the HR department deduct your salary!"

After hearing this, Huang Zihua pretended to be funny and showed a sad expression.

"Hahaha……"

The audience burst into laughter again.

"Back to business!"

After some laughter, Li Yishu commented seriously: "Ms. Nakama Yukie is very beautiful. Everyone knows that I am a director, and I am barely famous, so I will comment on Ms. Nakama Yukie from the perspective of a director. First of all, I believe that anyone with a good sense of aesthetics can see it at a glance..."

As the competition progressed, the top 16 contestants were selected into the final 8.

They are Li Xiaoran from China, Lee Young-ae from South Korea, Yukie Nakama from Japan, Karina from India, Feili Guo from Singapore, Padjongpa Sachul from Thailand, Julia from Malaysia...

As the eight qualified contestants returned to the backstage to touch up their makeup and change their clothes, the eight eliminated beauties naturally began to cry and express their feelings after being eliminated.

Each of them was a beautiful and charming lady, and their tears made many sentimental viewers' eyes tear up.

But in fact, these beauties are all champions of their own country. When they won the championship, they had already crossed the class line and had a bright new future.

Whether you dream of marrying into a wealthy family like Miss Hong Kong, or sign a contract with an agency, release records, and become an actress, you all have a bright future.

Time passes little by little.

Soon it was time for the semi-finals for the championship, runner-up and third place.

Those who advanced include South Korean beauty Lee Young-ae, Chinese beauty Li Xiaoran, Indian beauty Karina, and Thai beauty Padjongpa Sachu.

The main reason why Li Xiaoran was able to make it to the semi-finals was due to the support of Li Yishu. If we really compare beauty, she doesn't have much advantage.

But she has only advanced to the semi-finals, and at most she will squeeze out one more beauty and become the third place.

Lee Young-ae and Karina have huge advantages. The former is well educated and good-looking, while the latter Karina is sexy and hot.

Karina now has the highest score in the scene, and she might become the champion.

And in the final session there was a question and answer session.

This also proves Li Yishu's guess that the one with the highest score is Karina!
Li Xiaoran was eliminated in the semi-finals. (End of this chapter)
