The beauty pageant event "Miss Hong Kong 2024 Finals" was held
last night at the Tseung Kwan O TV City. The 15 beauties gave their best,
and the results of this year's competition were as expected. The popular
Ellyn Ngai Lok Lam stood out and won the crown, while Emily Leung Ka Ying
and Amina Yeung Chi Yiu won the first and second place respectively. The
second runner-up, Leung Ka Ying, also won the title of "Miss Photogenic",
and Yeung Chi Yiu became the triple crown second runner-up.
In order to fit in with the pageant theme of this year's Miss Hong
Kong "Proud To Be A Woman", this year's Miss Hong Kong contest for the
first time featured an all-female class of performers and a professional
judging panel to select the best winners from a female perspective. The
queen of the music industry, Sally Yeh (Yip Sin Man) led the rising stars
of the music industry Janees Wong Lok Yin, Sabrina Chiu Chi Lok, Angel Lau
Wing Tung, Maggie Chu Chung Yee, Hung Sum Yee, and three members of XiX,
Crystal, Charlotte and Caitlin, as guest performers; JW Wong Ho Yee, Yumi
Chung Yau Mei and Windy Zhan Tianwen sang the theme song of Miss Hong
Kong. The emcee lineup includes Janis Chan Bui Yee, Mayanne Mak Mei Yan,
Roxanne Ho Pui Ka, Rachel Chan Yi Tak and Hilary Chong Tsz Shuen. As for
the judges of the event, they are also judged by five representative
female celebrities from all walks of life, Liza Wang Ming Chuen, Daisy Ho
Chiu Fung, Selina Chow Liang Suk Yee, Melissa Kaye Pang Wan Hei and
Christine Ip Yeung See Ming; while the "Most Photogenic" judges were
representatives of "Wai Yin Association" Mandy Cho Man Lei, Monica Chan
Fat Yung, Heidi Chu Hoi Ting, Virginia Yung Ka Shui and Sandy Lau Ching
Ting.
This year's Miss Hong Kong has included a lot of interactive
elements with the audience and online. People around the world
participated in the "My Favorite Beauty" voting event and worked with the
judges to select the top four beauties of this year. The relevant voting
activities did not officially end until the finals. The trend of the
beauties can be reversed at any time based on the live performance of
everyone. After the final four were officially selected last night, the
event also launched the "Who is the Champion" voting event. People around
the world can directly vote for their favorite online. Some of the online
votes and the event judges' will each account for half of the score,
make the results more variable and exciting. In addition to participating
in voting for their favorite contestants, this year's audience also has
100% say in the "Talent Goddess Award". Last night, the TVB online
streaming platform myTV SUPER also opened its chatroom, allowing viewers
to leave messages and interact in real time. They could also vote directly
on the beauties' talent competition and participate in the "Talent Goddess
Award" voting event. Another major interactive aspect was that viewers
could go to TVB's official social platform to leave messages and ask
questions to their favorites. Related questions might be arranged to be
answered by the beauties themselves.
At the beginning of the show, all the contestants were arranged to
publicly respond to the negative online comments. When Ngai Lok Lam was
accused of not being worthy of the title of "City U Michelle Reis", she
frankly said that she hoped that with her outstanding performance,
everyone would not remember "counterfeit whatever" or "City U Whatever"
but "City U's pretty decent Miss Hong Kong Ngai Lok Lam" in quite a show
of ambition. Candice Wong Shun Man was criticized
online for saying "her face is bigger than a pizza". She laughed at
herself, "I even heard someone say that I looked like a squashed pineapple
bun!" Rose Chen Tiantian, who does not know Cantonese, was once again
ridiculed online, "why not speaking it even worse". With her high EQ, she
laughed and replied, "Then I can play President Cao's daughter in LO AND
HOLD!" She said that she understood everyone's concern, but thought that
she could represent Hong Kong in many special ways -- like her manner of
speech being hilarious. However, when Kimmy Chong Hiu Ting responded that
she was accused of looking like an MK girl, she stuttered. In the end it
was up to emcee Janis Chan Bui Yee to smooth things over: "Mong Kok is a
part of Hong Kong, so it's a good representation of Hong Kong."
The 15 beauties responded to online questions one by one on the
stage. Zoie Tse Suk Yi was accused of being evil like a "treacherous
concubine". She admitted that people should not be judged by their
appearance. She also fully kissed up to general manager Eric Tsang Chi
Wai, "The charm of the general manager does not lie in height or
appearance," Hosts Mak Mei Yan and Ho Pui Ka immediately went "wow" as
the camera cut to a smiling Tsang Chi Wai in the audience. She
continued, "but in wisdom and brains that millions of people aspire to
possess."
Contestant 10 Clary Wu Zhijing was praised online for being
beautiful, but also said to look like a "vixen" (temptress). She
said jokingly, "Thank you so much! Because you have to
be pretty to be able to play the vixen!" The whole audience burst into
laughter. Senior Mayanne Mak said, "You should know that TVB's costumes
will definitely make you very pretty. Even I have played the 'turtle
lady' (Madame)!"
As for the talent competition, the top 15 beauties were divided into
three groups to compete. Group A includes contestant 1 Jessie Chan Chi
Tung who sang, 4 Zoie Tse Suk Yee played the piano, 8 Lo Hoi Yee and 15
Kanis Yu Ho Ching performed dancing and aerial yoga respectively; Group B
included contestant 6 Adria Li Mansi who performed the ribbon dance on
roller skates, 13 Dolores Ching Keung Yuet who performed bell-ringing
skills on roller skates, 2 Ellyn Ngai Lok Lam, 5 Kimmy Chong Hiu Ting,
9 Rose Chen Tiantian and 12 Tracy Chung Chui Sze danced; Group C included
contestant 3 Candice Wong Shun Man sang, 7 Yvonne Qin Jiwen performing
stick skills, 10 Clary Wu Zhijing performing sword dance.
Since the "Talent Goddess Award" was newly added this year, many
beauties in the "talent competition" tried their best to stand out. Among them,
Kanis Yu Ho Ching performed "Sexy Aerial Yoga", Leung Ka Ying performed
"Shock Wave Drumming", Yeung Chi Yiu performed Beijing Opera with a
ribbon dance, and Clary Wu Zhijing's sword dance all left a deep
impression on the audience. In particular when Wu Zhijing dropped her
sword and then calmly continued the performance, even Elena Kong Mei Yee
could not help but praise her. However, Yeung Chi Yiu even performed a
split and received a lot of applause. Yeung Chi Yiu finally defeated Wu
Zhijing and received the award from the guest presenter Samantha Ko Hoi
Ning with a large number of online votes. .
After the 15 beauties walked around the venue in silver swimsuits,
the top 10 were announced, including Ngai Lok Lam, Wong Shun Man, Zoie Tse
Suk Yi, Yvonne Qin Jiwen, Kerry Lo Hoi Yi, Wu Zhijing, Leung Ka Ying,
Tracy Chung Chui Sze, Yeung Chi Yiu and Yu Ho Ching. Chen Tian Tian, one
of the favorites before the competition, was eliminated in the first round
in a shocking manner. The swimsuit question-and-answer session that
followed invited a think tank of 100 people to be responsible for scoring,
but the relevant questions failed to make the contestants show their due
intelligence. Yeung Chi Yiu's original answer of "mango pomelo sago" for
"two item rice" choices to represent Hong Kong made no sense, but she won
74 votes she took the lead and won the "Top 100 Think Tank Goddess Award"
in the next victory. She explained that she wanted to add the "mango
pomelo sago" to the two item rice. "I feel very happy to be in Hong Kong,
every time I return to Hong Kong I am very happy." In addition, Yvonne
Qin had to interpret the expressions of different weather conditions like
the station's animated Mr. Weather; she smiled and pouted in a cute
performance but only received 29 votes.
As for "Miss Photogenic", Leung Ka Ying won the title. She also
joined the top four together with Yeung Chi Yiu, Ngai Lok Lam and Wu
Zhijing. The four people debated on the topics of "co-ed bathrooms" and
"separated marriage". Except for Ngai Lok Lam, the other three seemed
nervous when speaking, which made their Cantonese a bit unclear and them
fighting over stuff to say. Fortunately, they were not boring. After
singer Sally Yeh (Yip Sin Man) led a group of juniors to perform a song and
dance number, the pageant immediately announced the results of the
competition and the atmosphere reached a climax. In the end, Ngai Lok Lam
lived up to expectations and successfully ascended to the title of Miss
Hong Kong this year, while Leung Ka Ying and Yeung Chi Yiu won the first
and third runner-up respectively. Yeung Chi Yiu even swept up 3 awards in
one breath and became the triple crown second runner-up, while Wu Zhijing
came in "fourth".
This year's Miss Hong Kong performance was quite eye-catching.
First, singers JW, Yumi Chung Yau Mei, and Windy Zhan Tianwen led the
contestants to sing this year's Miss Hong Kong theme song "Proud To Be A
Woman." Then the contestants appeared in groups with their predecessors
Carmaney Wong Ka Man, Juliana Kwok Pui Man, Denice Lam Yuk Wai and others.
Wong Ka Man descended on wires, wielded a sword and performed a backflip,
which was full of style. However, she was caught once and could not turn
over. Fortunately, she succeeded in the second time. Kwok Pui Man
performed the fan dance and Lam Yuk Wai played the umbrella dance, both
showing off their long legs and turning heads. Kwok Pui Man had difficulty
when trying to stand on one leg and had help to maintain her balance.
