Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2018
Kick Start Press Conference

08/21/2018

For nearly a quarter of a century after its inception, the legacy of Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant continues. To celebrate Fairchild Television’s Silver Anniversary and commemorate another milestone Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant will be attaining next year at its 25th Anniversary, the recruitment was officially launched today at the “Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2018 Kick Start Press Conference” along with the theme “Classics ∞ Abound”.

The press conference was unfolded by a magical silver ring stunt. The different combinations of rings represented the infinite potential of every young lady, just like Tingting Niu, the 2nd Runner-Up of Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2017. Tingting is not only a versatile performer, whose dancing and singing skills are on a professional level, but she is also extremely eloquent. On this very significant occasion, she joined hands with Chris Yuen as the MC’s.

In harmony with the theme “Classics ∞ Abound”, the special guests of the press conference were invited to share some classic memories at the Pageant. Ms. Deborah Moore revealed that with her limited proficiency of the Chinese language, it was definitely a nerve-racking experience being appointed as the MC of the very first Pageant. Deborah even slightly joked that it was as challenging as competing at Miss Hong Kong Pageant.

Next up was former veteran chaperone, Ms. Kelly Chan, who had witnessed the birth of numerous Miss Chinese Vancouver’s for over 10 years. Among all the unforgettable memories, Kelly recalled vividly that Eliza Sam at that time was lack of confidence with lots of worries on expressing herself in Chinese at the Q&A session. Nonetheless, Kelly was pleasantly surprised by this intelligent lady when later onstage she saw Eliza communicating in French with the MC who happened to be a fluent French speaker as well!

Over the past 2 decades, the prestigious Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant has seen many outstanding ladies with phenomenal success at both Miss Chinese Vancouver and Miss Chinese International Pageants, including Crystal Pan, Bernice Liu, Shirley Zhou, Linda Chung, Leanne Li, Cici Chen, Eliza Sam, Cindy Zhong, Gloria Tang, and Jennifer Coosemans. The Pageant has also served as a platform for the young finalists to overcome their anxieties and further their pageant ventures. Returning to Hong Kong as an overseas contestant at Miss Hong Kong Pageant two years after Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant, Ms. Kayi Cheung made history by becoming the first Miss Chinese Vancouver to capture the title of Miss Hong Kong. During the press conference, Kayi remembered the massive criticisms following the announcement of her championship and stated that family and friends’ supports were exceedingly important in helping her to conquer the negative energy.

Along with Miss Chinese Vancouver 2017 Cheryl Ng, Kayi urged all talented young ladies to act fast and step onto the journey of fame.

1st Runner-Up and 2nd Runner Up, Ruby Ng and Tingting Niu, expressed thanks to Fairchild Television for providing a high level of professional trainings and felt blessed by how much their horizons have been broadened through community services and events the past year.

The entire press conference was live-streamed on Facebook. Everyone is welcome to watch it through MCVP Facebook (mcvpcanada). Moreover, please stay tuned to the official website www.fairchildtv.com and other MCVP social media platforms where Cheryl, Ruby and Ting Ting will be sharing their extraordinary pageant experiences and interview tips soon.

The winners of Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2017 and the special guests of the press conference encouraged all aspiring young beauties to take the initiative and audition for the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2018. To wrap up the press conference, President of Fairchild Media Group and the MCVP Chairperson, Mr. Joe Chan, was invited onto the stage to officiate the Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2018 campaign. Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant 2018 Final will be held at the Vancouver Convention Centre on December 6th (Thursday). Application deadline is September 14th (Friday), 5pm.

Although he is the youngest of the finalists, his performance gave a new spin to the beloved romantic ballad “Love is Like a Tide”. #2 Esme Shi wants to bring happiness to everyone through her singing. Her song of choice was “Is It True” which captivated the attention of the audience.

As the oldest of the finalists, #3 Daisy Ho has an abundant amount of energy and passion for singing and for life.

Conrad performed the ultimate love song, “Sometimes When We Touch” which surely touched the hearts of the audience.

A recent university graduate, #5 Olivia Ou had her debut public performing experience at the 1st UBC Cantonese Singing Contest. Olivia performed the emotional “The Fine Line of Love and Pain”. #6 Eva Yang parlays her love of music by working as a receptionist at a music school. Eva’s performance of “Waiting Till the Flowers Have Wilted” conveyed the loneliness and longing for love.

#7 Maggie Li, forever a romantic, wants to share the songs she loves with others. Maggie performed one of her favorite songs, “Knowingly” with poignant effect. A former contestant of the 2013 Super 10 Singing Contest, #8 Esaine Mo danced and sang her way to “I Want”. Her slinky and seductive performance was the perfect ending for the solo portion of the contest.

After the rounds of performance by the finalists, Super Q, the youngest group contenders in the Top 25 Round of the Unforgettable Classics Singing Contest, performed the immortal Mandarin tune Give Me a Kiss in a playful and lively children’s fashion show that incorporated dancing and catwalk. Their energetic performance won and melted the hearts of everyone in the audience.

Founded in 1993, Fairchild Television takes pride in its annual productions of variety shows such as Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageants and New Talent Singing Awards. In the process, Fairchild Television has jump started the careers of many local Vancouverites who have gone on to become celebrities and artists in Hong Kong.

In order to better serve the increasing number of Chinese immigrants, Fairchild Television also consistently strives towards bringing viewers locally produced investigative reports and news and current affairs programs. In a separate video, the audience was treated to a walk down memory lane with footages featuring familiar faces of Fairchild Television personalities. Following the solo performances, the finalists were paired up into four groups. They were joined on stage by John Lam and Dionne Phillips, former New Talent Singing Contest Awards Vancouver Audition Champions 2006 and 2008 respectively.

#4 Conrad Chui and #8 Esaine Mo performed “Endless Love” with two polar opposite interpretations. Esaine chose to be alluring while Conrad delivered with a cool jazzy spirit. #1 Alan Yu and #5 Olivia Ou performed “Never Liked Being Alone”, a song that was coincidentally written the same year when they were born.

#2 Esme Shi and #6 Eva Yang performed “I Am a Little Bird” showcasing their wide range singing prowess. #3 Daisy Ho and #7 Maggie Li performed the whimsical “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini” to the delight of the audience.

The special performing guest of the evening has close ties with the growth and achievements of Fairchild Television, hosting programs such as Cantonese Opera Delight and Leisure Talk for over 20 years. Whether serving as judge or special guest performer for the New Talent Singing Awards Vancouver Audition or as stage instructor for the Super 10 Singing Contest, renowned singer and singing coach, Annabelle Louie’s presence is synonymous with perfection. Under the accompaniment of piano and flute, Annabelle opened with the delicate Inaudible Words and followed by an electrifying performance of the medley I Need a Hero and Farewell Kiss. Her rendition of Rain of Affection was sentimental and touching. Annabelle’s performance would not be complete without her signature tune Old Dreams Should Be Forgotten, which was voted as one of the 25 unforgettable classics in a voting organized by Fairchild Television. The familiar melody was re-arranged by Richard Yuen and accompanied by three young talented local musicians with Chinese and Western musical instruments. The enthralled audience all had one thing in mind; old dreams should be forgotten but a good song should be remembered always!

After the judges’ deliberation, the much anticipated moment finally arrived with announcement of the four award winners:
Champion: #2 Esme Shi
