Compared to the previous Harry Potter, Spider-Man is a bit more complex in terms of CGI special effects in the later stage, but the corresponding mixing, music, sound effects and supplemental dubbing are relatively simple.

After all, changing to the story background of modern society, the post-effects of "Spider-Man" are also some post-effects that can be used directly.

When Sid and others returned to Universal Studios and worked intensively on the later stages of "Spider-Man", the Fire Lion Group also began its annual meeting in the middle of the year.

"Now that we're all here, let's get started. Shirley Sandberg spoke after looking around the room.

With the gradual growth of the Fire Lion Group, there are more and more matters that the whole group needs to manage on a daily basis.

Therefore, in order to better coordinate and integrate the entire Fire Lion business, Shirley decided to hold a semi-annual coordination meeting after discussing with Sid, for the daily matters at this stage.

And in August this year, it was the first time that Fire Lion held a semi-annual group meeting.

After Shirley's brief opening, the first to speak was Jon Philheimer, CEO of Fire Lion Pictures, "So far, the North American box office of "Song and Dance 3" has exceeded $250 million, and after its overseas release last month, the overseas box office has also quickly exceeded $100 million. ”

"Oh wow-" "So powerful!?"

Hearing that a low-budget movie that costs no more than 10 million dollars has once again set such a "terrifying" record, everyone can't help but be surprised.

Although everyone in the group has heard of the strength of the "Youth Musical" series, it is another thing to hear the specific achievements with their own ears.

"Not bad. But Shirley Sandberg gave only a brief compliment, and then quickly moved on to the next question.

However, Philheimer himself did not care about this, and quickly entered the next topic discussion.

"The "Singing and Dancing Youth" series has ended, so the next steps. Shirley said and looked at Fillheimer.

He immediately replied: "As the successor to "Youth Musical", the script of "Dance Out of My Life" directed by Ms. Anne Fletcher has been completed, and now the casting part is in the final stage, and other preparations are also being carried out in an orderly manner. ”

The importance of "Youth Musical", which is the core of the early stage of the "Song and Dance Film Project", is naturally undoubted, but the best movie series also has to end one day. And in order to cope with the next development, it is the real top priority.

Although Sid and others also quickly planned, the popular drama "Hannah Montana" on Fire Lion TV in the same period, but in terms of movies, there is obviously no relaxation, otherwise the pace of major film companies catching up will not wait for anyone.

After seeing the successive successes of "Youth Musical" and "Hannah Montana", both Fox and Disney soon launched several movies and series with the theme of youth musicals, but it was only because of their poor performance and being crushed by the fire lion that they were extremely weak in this field.

But Sid and Shirley know very well that in the face of the seven major studios, the current Fire Lion has not made mistakes. As a strong support for the "fantasy blockbuster plan" that has been launched, the "song and dance film plan" is certainly envious of others with its low-cost and high-yield routines.

But Hollywood, as one of the riskiest industries in the world, no one dares to say that they can win the market and box office every time, plus Sid intends to exercise the ability of his subordinates, and deliberately only checks the script, and throws other things to Fellheimer and others.

Therefore, everyone in Fire Lion Pictures has always been cautious in handling related projects, and they dare not be careless at all.

"Is the release time confirmed?" Shirley asked.

"Of course, we have already reached an agreement with AMC Cinemas, although the film has not yet started shooting, and AMC is already willing to premiere "Dance Out of My Life" on Friday, May 31st. Firmheimer nodded.

"Well, well done. Shirley nodded again in praise.

Being able to get the support of large-scale theaters before the start of filming is a "benefit" that only the seven major studios could enjoy in the past.

And now, with the development of the Fire Lion song and dance film project, especially the successive success of the "Song and Dance Youth" series after leaving Sid's direction, and the unprecedented success of Sid's "fantasy blockbuster" "Harry Potter".

Under these comprehensive effects, it was the first time that AMC Cinemas gave Fire Lion Pictures such treatment.

"What about the TV side of the song and dance film plan?" After talking about the movie side, it was naturally the TV side, and Shirley looked at the old man Charles, the CEO of Fire Lion TV.

"Well, we have a dedicated person in charge of this. Old man Charles looked at one of his subordinates.

A suiter wearing gold-rimmed glasses immediately stood up, "Hello everyone, in terms of TV for the song and dance film project, the ratings of "Hannah Montana Season 2" in the spring of this year are still the No. 1 among all youth children's dramas!"

And the third season of next year, which has already been filmed in the summer, took advantage of Lindsay Lohan's summer vacation time, and now is just waiting for it to start broadcasting again next spring. ”

In addition, the TV movie "Rock and Roll Summer Camp", which was scheduled for last year, has also been filmed and will be shown on Fire Lion TV in the summer. ”

To be honest, the cost and difficulty of filming such a thing as a TV movie are much lower than that of a real movie, if it weren't for Sid's intention to slow down the pace, I'm afraid that the few youth song and dance film TV movies in his hand would be filmed by Fire Lion TV in a blink of an eye.

"Rock 'n' Roll Summer Camp" didn't get as much viewership as "Hannah Montana," but it still garnered more than 7 million premiere ratings. ”

This result is already very good for an idol TV movie aimed at children and teenagers, at least the Disney channel will be drooling.

Sid's long-planned "Song and Dance Project", of course, will not be limited to such a few projects, and then, Shirley also specially coordinated the collaboration between the film department and the TV department, and as a "Song and Dance Film Project", the record department certainly cannot stay out of the matter.

Therefore, a seemingly simple project will also involve the concerted efforts of all parties in order to finally achieve the results that Sid and Shirley want.

After the "Song and Dance Film Project", everyone once again followed up on the progress and situation of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which is being filmed in the UK.

With the strong support of Sony, the film has also been confirmed for next year's North American release date - November 15 of the following year, Thanksgiving schedule!
