(Red arrow = Kent Tong's daughter Roxanne Tong, a Miss HK contestant)
Yesterday the 10 Miss Hong Kong contestants attended an event and met with the five judges including Andy Lau and Carina Lau. This is Andy's first time on the Miss HK judging panel, he frankly expressed his ideal Miss HK is a girl with long hair and eyes with spirit. Also, he expressed Miss HK should have strong verbal ability and a balance of goodwill and beauty. In regards to the constant gossips floating around Miss HK, Andy said he hasn't paid attention to any of it, but believes there will bound be such misunderstandings when participating in the contest. If you're the winner, then the gossips will follow you for several years, so it's best to just get the first or second runner-up. When asked if Andy will allow his daughter to participate in Miss HK? He avoided the question.

The elegant Carina put pressure on everyone at the event, she believes Miss HK should not only have the beauty and wisdom, but also advance with modern society, increase EQ and face the news. Carina expressed she was conservative back in the day, so she never thought of participating in Miss HK. She said back when she was in the Artistes Training Class, the teacher suggested that she run for Miss HK, but at the time she couldn't accept wearing bikinis. When speaking of the gossips revolving around the Miss HK contestants? She said: "Artistes have gossips too. If we don't go through this path, then how would we know how the scenery is like out there?" Carina laughed and said if she participated in Miss HK, she may not have had the opportunity to meet her husband Tony Leung. She said fate is hard to predict, if there is fate, they can meet no matter what.

When speaking of TVB inviting Andy back to shoot a series for them, Carina expressed she has always been open too. "Especially for TVB, they're my cradle. We have a relationship. Money is not an issue, have to look at the script." Andy mentioned he really hopes to be in an idol drama? She said: "Really? He's currently my idol too, but can he still be a teenager?" She laughed and said if they were to shoot an idol drama together, that wouldn't be too good because she's more suitable as a metropolis matured woman, but Andy is her first choice for a co-star. She said: "He brings me luck! (How about Tony Leung?) I bring him luck!" Carina expressed if she were to choose among the artistes, she would choose Bosco Wong: "I met him personally before, he has the taste of a star."
