The next day, after the financial storm, many of the media outlets in Hong Kong found it inappropriate to rehash old news. In the spirit of preserving Hong Kong's stability and prosperity, it seemed promoting the flourishing entertainment industry was the best showcase of Hong Kong's vitality. Almost overnight, guided by some media with ulterior motives, all media outlets turned their focus toward the entertainment sector. Among the most eye-catching pieces of news was the signing of Malaysian pop diva and current star Wang Baizhi with Hong Kong's Imperial Entertainment Company, elevating this virtually unknown company to celebrity status.
At 2:30 p.m., at Hong Kong International Airport, there was still half an hour until Wang Baizhi's arrival, but the airport was already packed with reporters big and small, their long lenses and cameras reminiscent of the scene a few months ago when Soros left Hong Kong in a hurry.
