Miss Hong Kong 2022 is still in full swing. After several months of preparations, the 20 finalists were originally scheduled to compete in the semi-finals on the evening of September 4th. Unexpectedly, TVB suddenly announced before the semi-finals that the semi-finals would be postponed because five of the candidates were unfortunately diagnosed with the disease. In order to prevent the epidemic from spreading and to ensure the health of the contestants and the staff in front and behind the scenes, the competition can only be suspended and postponed to allow sufficient time for the infected to recover and participate in campaign activities.
TVB did not disclose which contestants were diagnosed. This is also to protect personal privacy and prevent the media from making a big fuss about it and targeting individuals. As for when the semi-finals will be held again, since everyone's recovery time is different, it is difficult to determine the specific time, but I believe it will be held again before September 25. After all, the finals are on September 25. On the 25th of March, it is impossible to postpone it any longer.
Although the Miss Hong Kong election was forced to be suspended, TVB's move was recognized by everyone - it can be said that it was a decisive decision, and it was entirely based on the health of the candidates and staff, and did not care about the immediate benefits and losses. . In fact, TVB suddenly announced the suspension of the Miss Hong Kong semi-final election, which is really a big loss. Since the time for the semi-finals has been set long ago, and advertising sponsorship has been negotiated, now that it is stopped, the advertising cooperation cannot proceed as scheduled, causing damage to the interests of advertisers, and TVB should also compensate. There are also a group of beauties who have taken over a lot of rehearsal and publicity work, but now they have all been cancelled. After all, this amount is quite impressive. But under the epidemic, this can only be done. Now we have arranged for all beauties and staff to be tested, just in case.
2022 is a very special year for the Miss Hong Kong election, because this year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the Miss Hong Kong election, so TVB intends to make it a big event and celebrate it as a grand event. Different from previous years when the finals were decided at the end of August or early September, this year's finals are specially arranged to be held on September 25, and TVB also spent a lot of money to rent the arena to hold the finals. This is TVB's first time in 12 years. The finals were held again in the Coliseum in 2016. It's just that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, plans can't keep up with changes, and various situations keep happening.
Looking back, this is not incomprehensible. There are risks in holding any grand event during the epidemic, and the risks are difficult to calculate. TVB originally planned to let this year's Hong Kong sisters go to Japan for location filming, and at the same time train the Hong Kong beauties abroad, which meant restoring the normal mode of elections before the epidemic. As a result, this plan failed to go smoothly because the epidemic in Japan was recurring and serious. If a contestant unfortunately contracted the epidemic, the operation of the entire team would stop. However, we did not expect that a contestant would eventually contract the epidemic before the semi-finals.
The biggest difficulty in the Miss Hong Kong election in recent years is not the quality of the contestants. In fact, the quality of the contestants has been improving over the years. TVB also has good intentions and provides better conditions and better results. resources to attract high-quality beauties to participate in the election, and at the same time actively scout for talents, so the candidates are not bad. For example, Lin Xiaotong, Chen Mingfeng, Yang Yi, and Liang Chaoyi in 2022 are all of high quality and are deeply loved by the audience. Now it has become a popular choice. So the biggest challenge facing the Miss Hong Kong election is the epidemic. When the epidemic broke out in 2020, the Miss Hong Kong election was suspended for a time, which sparked heated discussions at the time. Because the Miss Hong Kong election has gone through so many years and experienced countless ups and downs, including when SARS was raging in 2003, the Miss Hong Kong election was not stopped. Why? It was expected to be stopped in 2020. Fortunately, after TVB's consideration, the 2020 Miss Hong Kong election was held as scheduled, allowing this beauty pageant to continue.

When the epidemic was at its worst, the Miss Hong Kong contest was not suspended, and it will not be suspended now. There is still nearly a month until the Miss Hong Kong finals on September 25. I believe this period of time is enough for the diagnosed beauties to recover, and it is also enough for TVB to be fully prepared for epidemic prevention.Although the election is not smooth sailing, it is also full of hardships. After the storm, there will always be a rainbow. Let us wait and see the birth of the new Miss Hong Kong.
