The election for the new "Miss Hong Kong" has begun. Are you looking forward to another Michelle Reis , Maggie Cheung , Rosamund Kwan . Unfortunately, this one has disappointed everyone again...
Even the Hong Kong media has some I dislike my own players. Reviews say he is like Gon from Pokemon.
is Yamada-sensei in Ninja Taro and Hell's Salesman in Crayon Shin-chan.
The 26-year-old is called Aunt. (The contestant wanted to hit someone after hearing this)
If she is plumper, she will say that she is a "swollen palace snowflake".
The comments are so vicious that even sheep can’t stand it...
Many people say that there is no one in Hong Kong, why is the Hong Kong sister getting more and more ugly...
Think about it carefully, we don’t know who the last Miss Hong Kong champion was, in my impression The Hong Kong sisters have always stayed in Li Jiaxin's era. From then on, there seemed to be no more beauties in Hong Kong.
Why is it that Miss Hong Kong, which once attracted the attention of Chinese people all over the world, cannot escape the fate of withering away now? Although medical beauty is becoming more and more developed, there are no more shocking beauties?
1, regional changes
Yang feels that the changes in Hong Kong sisters have a certain relationship with the region. Although it is a Miss Hong Kong election, many Hong Kong sisters in the early days were rarely pure Hong Kong people.
The first selection of Miss Hong Kong was held in 1946. After World War II, Hong Kong's sovereignty changed several times and was transferred from Japan to the United Kingdom. At that time, the Miss Hong Kong election was not so formal, but more of a mass entertainment provided to divert the "sequelae" of the war.
The first Hong Kong sister is Li Lan, and she is also the first heroine in the Once Upon a Time series of movies. Li Lan was born in a small family in Guangzhou. Because her family was poor, she was unwilling to be a waitress, so she participated in the Miss Hong Kong election.
But Judy was the Miss Hong Kong champion in 1952. She later participated in Miss Universe and won the runner-up (which means fourth place). She also signed a contract with Universal Pictures. Naturally, she obtained American citizenship, but after digging a little further, she discovered that she was from Shanghai.
The one sitting in the middle is Judy
In 1973, Hong Kong TVB started the election of Miss Hong Kong and gradually ushered in the spring of Miss Hong Kong. At that stage, Hong Kong ladies basically entered Suzhou. Mainly in Zhejiang area.
Deborah , the Miss Hong Kong elected in 1973, many people thought she was of mixed race. In fact, she is from Shanghai. Her parents moved to Hong Kong in her early years and she grew up in Hong Kong.
Young babies may not be familiar with it. Deborah is the mother of Nicholas Tse
Curved thin eyebrows, double eyelids, slightly lower three white almond eyes, slightly convex cheekbones, quite shrewd and foreign style of a Shanghai woman.
Maggie Cheung's ancestral home is also Shanghai. She moved to the UK with her mother when she was 8 years old. When she was 17 years old, she and her mother returned to Hong Kong for vacation. She was accidentally spotted by an advertising company and became a part-time model.
In 1983, when she was just 18 years old, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong election and won the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong in one fell swoop. At that time, Maggie Cheung was still a bunny-toothed girl, with wide cheekbones and a plump Apple machine. Her face was round and plump, fleshy, and full of collagen.
The "most urban temperament" Chen Farong was born in Suqian, Jiangsu Province in 1989 and graduated from the University of Toronto in Canada. She is also the first Hong Kong sister with a university degree. With short hair, she looks like a fashionable and independent urban girl, with a hint of coldness under her splendor.
Although Chen Farong's facial features are not too delicate, her bitter and angry appearance will actually amplify the features of her square face and slightly protruding mouth... Therefore, playing the pitiful and pitiful Tian Xue is also very convincing.
Generally speaking, women in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas have smaller facial height differences and do not rely on the three-dimensionality of their contours. At the same time, they tend to have low faces. Most people have a configuration of flat face + flat contour. Of course, this characteristic is not absolute. It is common in this area, but it does not mean that it does not exist elsewhere.
It is worth mentioning that the Miss Hong Kong election at that time was not just about selecting a beautiful girl. The purpose of the election was to select a girl with both talent and beauty who could truly represent the beauty and culture of Hong Kong. Under such standards, the jury will deliberately avoid candidates who are "too beautiful".
For example, Zhao Yazhi, who ran for Miss Hong Kong in the same year as Deborah, was beautiful enough, but at that time Zhao Yazhi only won fourth place.
Later, with Feng Chengcheng in "Shanghai Beach" and Bai Suzhen in " New White Snake Legend ", she became the most well-known Hong Kong sister in the mainland.
After searching, the goddess’s ancestral home is in Kaifeng, Henan Province.
Hong Kong sisters around 2000 were basically people from Guangdong and Guangxi.
For example, Huang Xinying , who caused a lot of trouble with Andy Hui some time ago, was the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong in 2012. As soon as the scandal broke out, Huang Xinying was criticized by many people for looking like Sister Feng. In fact, it is not that exaggerated. It is just because of the scandal that everyone has amplified the characteristic of protruding lips.
Although Huang Xinying’s nationality is Canadian, her ancestral home is Guangdong. If you look closely, Huang Xinying is a girl with a very modern "Cantonese taste".
In fact, looking at the early , Myolie Wu, and Huang Xinying, they have similar looks.
Myolie Wu in 1999 had a flat and wide nose, a relatively flat oval face, lack of three-dimensionality, and a relatively large mouth.
Let’s look at a more recent one, the 2017 Miss Hong Kong champion Lei Zhuanger. Doesn’t she look a bit like Huang Xinying and Myolie Wu?
Because of her protruding mouth, she was criticized as "buck-toothed". Although she was called ugly, she didn't care. Her father had a net worth of over 100 million.
2. Transfer of economic center
The decline of Miss Hong Kong is closely related to the decline of Hong Kong's film and television industry.
The 1970s was a period of melee between and on Hong Kong television, and poaching often occurred. When TVB takes over Miss Hong Kong, it is equivalent to taking over a talent pool.
The 1980s was the golden age of Hong Kong dramas. Miss Hong Kong has become TVB's largest star-making factory. Basically, the top three Hong Kong sisters will be signed and then make their debut in movies.
With the rise of the mainland's increasingly prosperous and increasingly spend-heavy television industry, a large number of Hong Kong artists have gone north to develop their careers in recent years. The surviving TV drama industry cannot provide high salaries to new actors, so how can it attract beautiful women to enter the entertainment industry.
Beauty is a scarce resource. Scarce resources will move closer to economically developed areas, so as to maximize benefits. Therefore, it is not that Hong Kong no longer has beauties like Michelle Reis, but that beauties like Michelle Reis will no longer seek a class jump by choosing a Hong Kong sister.
compares Yang Tianbao and Wen Yongshan who both developed in Hong Kong in the early days. Yang Tianbao returned to the mainland market and became very popular, and Wen Yongshan is also very beautiful. It is clear who is more popular now.
3. Beauty pageants are no longer the only way out.
20 years ago, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was at its peak. Countless girls wanted to enter the entertainment industry and change their class. Becoming a Hong Kong Miss can allow ordinary girls to increase their popularity in the shortest possible time, and also allow them to move towards a different life. In that era, the two main paths for ordinary girls after successfully running for Miss Hong Kong were: either becoming an international movie star like Maggie Cheung, or marrying into a wealthy family.
The 1977 Miss Hong Kong champion Zhu Lingling set the precedent for a Hong Kong sister to marry into a wealthy family.
On the night of winning the championship, he was attracted by Fok Ying-ting, one of the referees' son Fok Chen-ting . She became the Hong Kong Miss and joined a wealthy family. She became the envy of thousands of girls.
Chu Lingling is Guo Jingjing's mother-in-law
The "most beautiful Hong Kong sister" Michelle Reis, who was born in 1988, is of Chinese and Portuguese descent. The Hong Kong media, which has always been vicious, described her beauty as earth-shattering. Li Jiaxin's family environment is average and her parents have a very bad relationship. She was forced to become a model to earn money to support her family.
After winning the championship, Li Jiaxin began her career as a "rich harvester". The first one is Ni Zhen, one of the four great talents in Hong Kong. Later, he hooked up with the wealthy businessman Liu Luanxiong . Finally married Xu Jinheng, the grandson of the shipping king . It is said that on the wedding day, all the women in Hong Kong breathed a sigh of relief. This charming little fairy finally got married.
Cai Shaofen Her parents divorced when she was young, and her mother got into gambling again. She had an extremely difficult life trying to avoid debts. In 1991, Cai Shaofen participated in the Miss Hong Kong contest and won the second runner-up in Miss Hong Kong, officially entering the glamorous entertainment industry.
Although Cai Shaofen did not marry into a wealthy family, she also had a story with Liu Luanxiong.
On Cai Shaofen's 18th birthday, Liu Luanxiong spent a lot of money to throw her a birthday party that caused a sensation in Hong Kong. Although Cai Shaofen has never admitted her relationship with Liu Luanxiong, there are rumors that for six years, Liu Luanxiong has been helping her pay off her mother's debt, which has accumulated to more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
With the rise of major talent show platforms and the Internet, the Hong Kong Miss Beauty Pageant is no longer the only way out for beauties. Especially in the Internet era, there are more ways to create stars than just movies and TV shows, with a variety of innovative reality shows and online dramas. Hot search topics can change in a few minutes, and it only takes 15 seconds for someone to become popular.
In fact, it is not necessarily true that there are no great beauties, but everyone has countless choices, and there is no need to participate in beauty pageants that no longer attract attention.
With the improvement of women's status and the awakening of women's consciousness, beauty is no longer the only stepping stone. Modern women have endless choices and can display their charm no matter what stage they are on.
The decline of Miss Hong Kong has a certain relationship with region, economy, culture, etc. Although we can never go back to the golden age when Hong Kong film industry dominated Asia, these beautiful Hong Kong ladies have brought us infinite beautiful memories.
You Americans with super high IQs, what do you think about Hong Kong sisters getting uglier and uglier?
