Chapter 70: Gifts from Both Sides

"Anyway, according to Barry (Weiss), the total sales of this global tour are only about 30 million US dollars, which is not as good as the box office of one of my films. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sid shrugged and smiled seducing Britney.

"Well~~, but ......" Britney bit her nails, frowned and thought about it seriously, Sid saw her cute appearance, and couldn't help but pull out the other party's finger, and then put his middle finger into Britney's mouth.

"Hmm~~~~, it's so hard to decide, I really want to start a real concert. But ......" Britney was really embarrassed to think about, which made Sid laugh.

"Alright. Sid lifted Britney's chin and smiled, "You can go on tour with peace of mind, and I'll give you a gift to celebrate the tour." Sid pulled a silver card out of his pocket.

"What is this?" asked Britney curiously.

"Since you're flying all over the world this time, I thought, it would be more comfortable to have a special jet. Sid said, shaking the key.

"Hey, thanks. After Bran sweetly accepted it, Sid turned to look at Lindsay on the other side, "Then next." ”

"Eh, do I have a gift too?" said Lindsay, a little surprised.

"Of course. Sid pulled a script out of his bag and handed it over.

"What is this?" Lindsay said, confused, "Hannah Montana?"

Although "Hannah Montana" is not a record-setting landmarker in the history of American dramas, it is indeed an unscrupulous leader in European and American youth dramas.

A middle school girl living in Malibu, Los Angeles looks like an ordinary middle school girl, but in fact, she has another identity - the world's popular music diva "Hannah Montana".

The girl has been hiding her true identity with a blonde wig, hoping to find the right balance between her star life and everyday life. And in the process, her family and friends, the conflict between celebrity life and daily life caused a process full of jokes.

In terms of the theme of "Hannah Montana", it is obvious that it borrows from the glasses transformation of "Superman", but at the same time, this drama has incorporated a new interest that is in line with the times and the audience - an ultimate fantasy that not only satisfies the dreams of teenage stars, but also combines them with daily life.

This kind of unexpected and ingenious drama series has naturally reaped a double harvest of word-of-mouth and cleanup, even in the original "history", "Hannah Montana" has become the most popular teen TV show in North America, and the ratings once exceeded that of "Prison Break" in the same period.

And one of the biggest fun and highlights of this series is that the girl of the protagonist is played under her real name. "Historically" playing this role was later known as "Big Ball Biao" Miley Cyrus.

Now that Lindsay is the main actor, the name of the protagonist has naturally been changed to "Lindsay Lohan".

"This story, it's so funny. Lindsay flipped through the pages and immediately noticed the difference in the story, and she excitedly said to Sid.

"That's why I asked you to act. Sid smiled and rubbed Nizi's red hair.

"But this one has to be sung. Lindsey said with a small frown.

"Nice, country music, with a little bit of rock and pop. Sid nodded.

Britney saw Xiao Nizi's expression and laughed slightly: "What's the matter, the little girl is scared, I'm afraid that I can't sing, otherwise, call me sister, and I will teach you to sing with great compassion." ”

Lindsay immediately jumped up as if he had been stepped on: "I don't want you to teach me!" Then Xiao Nizi rolled her eyes and laughed slyly: "Besides, even if you have to find someone to teach, I just want to find Brother Sid." ”

Britney looked at Sid in amazement, "Sid, can you sing?"

Sid smiled, "It's just nonsense." ”

"No, I think Sid's brother sings much better than you. Lindsay's words made Britney even more curious.

"Really?" asked Britney's eyes.

"Of course!" Lindsay nodded.

"Well, that, can you two not talk around me, I feel very vain. Sid raised his hand in protest, but neither girl gave him a chance to resist.

"I'm going to get the guitar. Britney jumped.

"I'm going to get the DV machine. Lindsey followed, and now the two women finally found some kind of common ground to get along, but Sid silently felt that why was it always himself who suffered!?

In the end, no one knew how Sid's singing would turn out, but Britney stared at Sid with jealousy in her eyes.

――――――――――――――――――――

The turmoil of July is finally over, and this month has been a month of great change for both Fire Lion and Sid.

With the advent of August, "Youth Musical" in its second month finally ended AMC's exclusive broadcast and began to be released in all theaters in North America on a large scale, which made the number of theaters of "Youth Musical" directly reach more than 3,000!

At the same time, the United Kingdom, which has the closest relationship with Fire Lion, took the lead in becoming the first overseas release country of "Youth Musical", and next, "Youth Musical" will be released worldwide one after another, and Fire Lion's overseas theater capacity has also begun to expand on a large scale for the first time.

Although the whole of July can be said to be a month of great progress for the Fire Lion Group, near the end of the month, the incident of Warner Bros. Television Network snatching "CSI Crime Scene Investigation" from Fire Lion still spread among some high-level insiders.

Nowadays, the cross-industry merger of Time Warner and AOL has become imperative! The leaders of the two industries, the leading representatives of the old and new media, this kind of merger has been regarded by all commercial institutions and investment institutions as the biggest event in the new millennium.

As the world's largest integrated media group in the future, Time Warner's snatching of the project from the Fire Lion still has a big impact.

Warner Bros. Network CEO Abel Samiton held a public press conference, saying that Jerry Bruckheimer Productions' new series "CSI Crime Scene Investigation" will be the company's new key project, and will be officially broadcast in September next year.

But strangely, the Fire Lion side seems to have no reaction to this, which can't help but make many people question and look down on the future of the Fire Lion.

Aside from the distractions of the outside world, under the leadership of Shirley Sandberg, the Fire Lion Group carried out the affairs of television, film and music according to the original plan. Sid only needs to grasp and adjust the general direction, and does not need to spend too much energy on specific matters.

The time and energy set aside can really be used on important matters that have the role of the locomotive to lead.

"The first Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone project master project meeting starts now!" Sid's words prompted spontaneous applause from everyone in the room.

Sid smiled and nodded, pressed his hands down, and the applause of the crowd stopped.

"As the first general project meeting, we will first introduce the preliminary situation to you. Sid gave a brief opening before nodding to Shirley Sandberg, who was ready.

The chief butler of the fire lion, COO Shirley, nodded knowingly, stood up, she pressed the controller in her hand, and the first chart immediately appeared on the big screen in front of the conference room.

"Hello everyone. Shirley smiled with a smirk, "As you know, although the film project has only just begun, we have been working on the overall project of Harry Potter for almost a year. ”

"Since the release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, we've been working hard to promote the novel around the world. In addition to traditional advertising, our original plan was to establish library promotion programs in schools across North America and Europe. ”

"Good progress has been made, and in North America and Western Europe, we have put a considerable number of novels in schools in major cities and in the capital cities of all economically developed countries for children of local primary and secondary school students. ”

"The most direct impact is the sales of the Harry Potter novels themselves. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets have already been released worldwide, and the novels have sold an average of 50,000 copies per month. ”

"Oh wow!" everyone immediately exclaimed when they heard this number, although it was not as crazy as Sid's "Da Vinci Code", but this sales result was already much higher than the sales of the same period in "history". And in children's literature, this sales are also quite good.

And Ms. Rowling's third novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, will be released in the United Kingdom and the United States in December this year. Shirley said this, naturally pointing to JK Rowling who was seated.

She greeted everyone with a smile, and I have to say that Rowling, whose life has improved a lot compared to when they first met, has really begun to glow with the beauty and charm of a mature and intellectual woman.

"At the same time, and more importantly, our book clubs in North America and Europe are already taking shape. Shirley paused and said: "At this stage, we have basically realized that the capitals of major European countries and the top ten major cities in North America have gathered a considerable number of novel fans, and around them, we have established local book clubs. ”

The model of the global book club that Sid and Rowling envisioned at the beginning finally began to take shape under Shirley's skillful hands. Although the process was arduous and long, it was comforting to everyone.

The formation of the book club will not only directly promote the popularity and sales of the "Harry Potter" novels, but also have a far-reaching impact on a series of film and television and peripheral industry chains in the future.
