Hung Hom Stadium, the site of the Miss Hong Kong finals.
In the center of the stage with an old Shanghai-style setting, Teresa Teng, wearing a pink low-slit cheongsam, stood in front of the microphone. Her sweet and soft singing voice drifted with the evening breeze, which was intoxicating.
The sixteen finalists all wore cheongsams of various colors and danced neatly behind Teresa Teng.
After singing "Sweet Honey", Teresa Teng bowed down from the stage and the audience bowed in greeting. She was rewarded with a burst of warm applause that resounded throughout the audience.
In the VIP seat of the grandstand, Shao Yifu tilted his head slightly toward Lin Youlun and said jokingly: "It seems that Lin Sheng is so proud that even a generation of divas are willing to come over to support you."
"It's just a fluke, it made Uncle Six laugh."
What Lin Youlun said was not entirely modest. The reason why Teresa Teng agreed to be the guest singer in the Miss Hong Kong finals was mainly because she owed Lin Youlun a huge favor when she was in Chiang Mai, Thailand. In addition, she had promised Lin Youlun before. She served as a guest singer at the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, but during that time her body had not fully recovered and she was not able to take shape. This Miss Hong Kong final can only be regarded as making up for the promise she made last time but was not fulfilled.
A flash of light flashed in Shao Yifu's eyes, and then he regained his composure.
He didn't know that Lin Youlun had saved Teresa Teng's life in Chiang Mai, but with so many years of personnel experience, he could guess that there must be an unusual relationship between Lin Youlun and Teresa Teng, otherwise they had retired from the music scene and were still in the music scene. Teresa Teng, who nearly lost her life due to a serious illness two months ago, will definitely not appear on the stage of the Miss Hong Kong finals. And he also appeared as the opening singer.
¡°I heard that Teresa Teng announced her breakup with her French boyfriend of several years shortly after she returned from recuperation in Thailand. I thought she had been depressed for a while because of this incident. I didn¡¯t expect that she would come out of the shadows so quickly.¡±
Fang Yihua interjected.
Run Run Shao just smiled faintly, but Lin Youlun frowned.
When the news of Teresa Teng and Paul's breakup first appeared in the newspapers, it did cause quite a shock in Hong Kong and Taiwan. But now that more than a month has passed, Fang Yat Wah's old story has been brought up again, which inevitably makes people suspect that she obviously has ulterior motives.
Others may need to think about it for a while, but Shao Yifu understood what Fang Yihua meant without even thinking about it.
Teresa Teng is single again, and Youlun Lin is well-known as a romantic in the circle, even though they are more than ten years apart in age. But that doesn't stop some people from thinking about it, and Fang Yihua is one of them.
To be honest, Shao Yifu had doubts about this at the beginning, but after his eyes inadvertently passed by Li Jiaxin sitting next to Lin Youlun, he already came to a conclusion in his mind.
Although Teresa Teng is the common goddess in the minds of generations, the women around Lin Youlun are not inferior. They are younger and more beautiful than Teresa Teng, and they do not have as complicated emotional experiences as Teresa Teng. Every man knows how to choose.
The reason why Shao Yifu is so sure is that someone else has proved this before Teresa Teng, and this person is Lin Qingxia, who is already married.
In terms of closeness of relationship, the relationship between Lin Qingxia and Lin Youlun is far beyond that of Teresa Teng. You must know that before Lin Qingxia retired, she and Lin Youlun worked together several times, and even after they got married, they agreed to help Lin Youlun film another movie. And Teresa Teng basically had no interaction with Lin Youlun before this.
Lin Youlun has even "let go" Lin Qingxia, so naturally he will not have any wrong thoughts about Teresa Teng.
Shao Yifu figured out this truth in a short period of time, and when he looked at Li Jiaxin, who was sitting next to Lin Youlun, his eyes changed again.
I have to admit that Lin Youlun is indeed unique in his eye for selecting women, but others only see Lin Youlun picking up actresses with these roles. However, Shao Yifu knew that the success of these actresses was the result of Lin Youlun's behind-the-scenes push.
The Li Jiaxin in front of you is a very typical example.
Without Lin Youlun¡¯s help, Li Jiaxin could stand out in the entertainment industry with her natural beauty. Even winning the title of Miss Hong Kong that year was not a difficult task, but it is not easy to achieve the current fame and status.
Among them, not only was Lin Youlun generously promoting her through the media, but also because Lin Youlun invested in big-budget movies like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" regardless of cost, and cast Li Jiaxin as the heroine, she was promoted to the top. The position of an A-list popular star.
Although her acting skills have been criticized, Li Jiaxin has been able to remain in the top five in Hong Kong in terms of salary and net worth, and she continues to be endorsed by various luxury brands. Some good media once made statistics. Not counting the property units that Lin Youlun gave to Li Jiaxin, Li Jiaxin alone was counted.Xin's income from filming and advertising endorsements over the years has exceeded 100 million. In just five or six years, she was able to accumulate such a rich net worth. Even her "bi-weekly trip" was just that.
Precisely because all this comes so easily, Li Jiaxin must hold on to Lin Youlun even more.
"Ms. Li, as a former Miss Hong Kong champion and a judge for several finals, which contestant do you like the most tonight?" Fang Yihua spoke again, but this time the person she was talking to was Li Jiaxin.
Li Jiaxin, who had been focusing on the competition on stage, suddenly heard Fang Yihua's question, as if her hidden thoughts were exposed, a flash of unnoticed panic flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly calmed down.
"Judging from the current performance of the sixteen beauties, No. 11 and No. 5 are both very good. Of course, who will win in the end depends on their performance in the next few rounds, as well as the personal preferences of the judges " When she said this, Li Jiaxin secretly glanced at Lin Youlun's face and saw that his expression was as usual, so she felt relieved and continued to comment on the remaining fourteen beauties one by one.
The conversation between Fang Yihua and Li Jiaxin naturally attracted Shao Yifu's attention. As soon as Li Jiaxin finished speaking, he turned to look at Lin Youlun beside him.
"Which one is Lin Sheng most optimistic about this year?"
Hearing the probing tone in Shao Yifu's words, Lin Youlun did not play charades with him, but said directly: "The contestant named Yang Christine on No. 11 is very good!"
Li Jiaxin¡¯s expression suddenly changed when she heard this, but Shao Yifu¡¯s eyes showed a thoughtful expression.
" These words coming from Lin Youlun's mouth are no different from directly announcing the result of the game. This is how Li Jiaxin was selected back then, so Shao Yifu has reason to believe that Lin Youlun had the same idea for Yang Christine.
Looking at Yang Christine in the stands, and then at Li Jiaxin sitting in the audience, a meaningful smile soon appeared on Shao Yifu's lips.
