At 9 o'clock, the competition started to conduct interviews in groups under the command of the staff.
578 people are divided into 58 groups, with 10 people in each group. When your name is called, you have to step out.
The rules for the first stage of the interview are very simple and crude. Teams enter the photography venue where the judges are located and stand in a row on the stage.
Just say your name and age, what you are good at, and show your appearance.
The evaluation method at this stage is not just based on appearance, but also on comprehensive scores, such as figure, temperament, appearance characteristics, and talent.
For example, your facial features may not be very beautiful, but you have a pair of beautiful eyes, or you have a good temperament, a good figure, and a nice voice.
However, the talent score accounts for the lowest proportion. After all, this is a beauty pageant, not a singing competition or a dancing competition.
There are a total of 5 judges. As long as two or more judges approve, you can enter the second stage of contestant introduction.
This screening method is simple and crude, but also very efficient. In just a few hours, most of the contestants were eliminated, leaving only less than 50 people.
There are actually quite a lot of such promotions.
You should know that the National Beauty Contest has not only one competition area in Tokyo, but also in various parts of the country.
There are twelve Japanese cities in total. Even if 50 people are selected from each region, there will be 600 contestants.
In the Tokyo division, the most eye-catching player is naturally Yuki Ichinose, who completely overshadows all the other players.
The competition did not last forever. Only the first stage ended in the morning, and the main competition started in the afternoon.
However, it was time for lunch and the contestants, judges, and organizing staff all had to eat, so the event was temporarily stopped and would not continue until 2 p.m.
There was more than an hour left in the intermission, and Kurosawa Hikaru and the other two left the TV station and found a nearby restaurant with partitions to eat.
"I have communicated with the judges. You will be the first contestant to record your introduction this afternoon. Your work for today has come to an end for now. Wait for the next announcement."
At the dinner table, Igarashi Runa also spoke.
“Can we leave after the photo shoot?”
Kurosawa Hikaru continued.
"right."
Igarashi Runa nodded slightly.
“So easy.”
Yuki Ichinose found that she didn't need to wait when she went to the TV station again, she could just leave after filming, she couldn't help but say.
"Because you are beautiful, everything is easy for you. In the entertainment industry, beauty is the most powerful weapon."
Igarashi Runa looked at her stunningly beautiful appearance and took the opportunity to build up her self-confidence.
In fact, with Yuki Ichinose's appearance, she is one of the top beauties in the entertainment industry. For her to participate in this kind of beauty pageant is a complete dimensionality reduction attack.
In fact, the positioning of the National Beauty Contest is quite awkward.
A truly beautiful girl doesn’t need to participate in such competitions. She will be discovered by scouts, valued by agencies, and make her debut on the spot.
Instead of spending time participating in competitions, it is better to spend time on training and improving your talents in a targeted manner.
Most of the contestants who come to participate in the competition are unknown contestants who have not been noticed by scouts.
The contestants who are not favored by scouts and cannot be discovered, even if they are beautiful, are not the top stars in the entertainment industry.
The average level of the contestants is not high enough, and the public's aesthetic standards are raised by the beautiful idols in the entertainment industry, so the champions of beauty pageant competitions are often not recognized by the audience.
The champion of the National Beauty Contest was once not of sufficient quality.
It’s just that in recent years, the champion of the National Beauty Contest has become more valuable because of the appearance of beauties that appear once in a thousand years or even thousands of years.
"After advancing, what will Xiao Yuki do in the next round?"
Kurosawa Hikaru also understood this and asked curiously.
In this era, beauty can really make a living.
Even if you are a vase, because of the existence of the entertainment industry, as long as you are beautiful enough, you can easily earn money that many people cannot earn in their entire lives.
Of course, the entertainment industry is also quite dangerous. People without a background are very likely to encounter the dangers of being subject to unspoken rules, secret threats, and being frozen out.
However, with him around, Xiao Yuji doesn't need to worry about this situation when entering the entertainment industry.
The only drawback is that once you become famous, people will notice you whenever you go out on the street.
But there is a solution to this problem. Just wear a wig and a mask, and avoid appearing in public areas with heavy traffic as much as possible.
"In fact, I have finished filming the contestant introductions, but have not yet advanced..."
Igarashi Runa also answered their questions.
The National Beauty Girl Contest is judged based on five basic criteria: radiant and beautiful appearance, intellectuality and taste, mystery, and the resilience and gentleness of a woman with a unique personality that makes people feel eternally beautiful.
After the contestants have finished filming their introductions, the judges will conduct a round of review.
The contestants are ranked based on their performance in front of the camera and comprehensive scores.
After the ranking is completed and some contestants are eliminated, the competition enters the knockout round.
The official website of the program organizer will upload the introduction videos of the contestants, start voting, and observe the benefits after exposure.
During the voting period, the official will also issue announcements. For example, players with excellent data will be invited to record a program on TV, that is, appear on TV.
At this time, the contestants need to start showing their talents.
Beauty plus any other card is a trump card, such as education, family, IQ, background, and talent, but any one of them alone is a dead card.
The elimination round will last for a long time, and when only about 20 contestants are left, they will enter the finals.
Before the finals, the official will find teachers to provide further professional training to these players.
"When will Yuki-chan's video be uploaded to the program's official website?"
Kurosawa Hikaru had a general understanding of this competition and asked again.
"It will only take a few hours to get it done, and the video should be posted around 8-9 tonight."
As a practitioner in the entertainment industry, Igarashi Runa knows a lot about this kind of thing.
"Then let's wait together at the office tonight for the video to be released and see how netizens react."
After getting this answer, Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and made a suggestion.
Although this beauty pageant should be a sure win for Xiao Youji, she can win it without much effort.
But for Yuki, this is a crucial step in her debut after all, and she must be given enough attention.
"Okay, okay."
Yuki Ichinose was originally worried that she would have to separate from Guang Ge after filming the video, but now that she heard that they were going to the office together, she was naturally very happy.
"good."
Igarashi Runa had no objection to this.
I rested at home for a day yesterday, and I had a lot of work piled up, so I went back to the office to deal with it.
After lunch, they rested in the restaurant, and when it was almost time, they went to the TV station again.
The contestant introduction was very simple, no talent needed, and it was done in a short while.
…
At 2:36 pm, Igarashi Runa drove them back to the office.
When she got back to the company, she went to deal with her work.
Maybe the firm is still small, but Lingshi’s fame is so great that the business cooperation it brings is endless.
She was at home yesterday, and although she communicated smoothly with all parties over the phone, work cannot be solved with just one phone call.
When it comes to business cooperation, we must be cautious, communicate further with representatives of all parties, do our best to avoid omissions, confirm matters, and ensure that the handover work is in place.
Most importantly, these collaborations must be reviewed by Kurosawa Mitsuru.
It was still early, so Kurosawa Hikaru and Ichinose Yuki went to the lounge on the third floor.
"Brother Guang."
Finally they were alone together. Yuki Ichinose saw Kurosawa Hikaru close the door and turn on the air conditioner. She waited until he sat down, then ran over and sat next to him, calling him sweetly.
"What's wrong?"
When Kurosawa Hikaru saw her bright smile, he also smiled.
This girl, I don't know what she is laughing about all day long, she always laughs so happily.
Being with her is like raising a golden retriever, it feels very healing.
"It's okay, I just want to hug you."
Yuki Ichinose shook her head, reached out and hugged his arms, rubbing her little head on his shoulder.
Seeing that she wanted to get close to him, Kurosawa Hikaru just laughed and put his arm around her waist as she leaned against his back.
Men are all dishonest. When they are in contact with girls, it is impossible to expect them to keep their hands still.
"Brother Guang, thank you."
After hugging for a while, Ichinose Yuki couldn't help but speak.
"What do you mean?"
Kurosawa Hikaru, who was touching his waist, was really surprised by this reaction.
"You're helping me shoot a music video and creating a clothing brand for me... I don't know how to repay you."
Ichinose Yuki sighed and couldn't help but say.
She originally thought that after she became a model and made money, she would buy a supercar and a luxury villa for Brother Guang.
But today, on the way to the TV station, what Miss Igarashi said made her realize one thing: Brother Guang had helped her too much.
"Do you want to know how to repay me?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru looked sideways at her and noticed a depressed look on her face, so he asked.
"Yes."
Ichinose Yuki raised her eyes and met his eyes, and suddenly her face felt a little hot. Would Brother Guang make any strange requests
"As long as you are happy every day, that is the best reward for me."
Kurosawa Hikaru's left hand was no longer on her waist, but on her head, gently touching her head.
In fact, after signing the 100 billion contract with Apple, he could have given up.
You know, 100 billion is just the copyright agency fee, and there will be sales sharing later.
All he had to do was cooperate with Apple to record songs and wait for the first album to be released, then he could just lie down and count his money every day.
However, he still wants to create a clothing brand and further develop his work. In fact, he is not satisfied with the status quo.
You know, he has five girlfriends, and hundreds of billions, this money is not enough.
