The day after the presidential election results were announced, another film from Fire Lion Pictures was released at the end of the year.

Nancy Meyers' second film "100% Men" after Lindsay's "A Born Couple" finally premiered in New York.

Although it seems that Nancy has only made a second film after so many years, it seems that the pace is a bit slow. But in fact, this is the normal rhythm of Hollywood film directors, and the two-film gameplay like Sid's is madness.

Before Sid, Woody Allen was as punctual as a clock, and he was already Hollywood's fastest film. What's more, we're talking about speed over quality.

As the original new work released this year, "Man 100%" is quite important for both Fire Lion and director Nancy Meyers.

And the film also found big-name stars Mel Gibson and Helen Hunter to star, and after the family carnival of "Natural Couple", Nancy Meyers gradually found her own specialized film direction - female-oriented films with emotional lives.

"100% Men" borrows a fantastical hypothesis, what if men could hear what women think?

With the advent of the new millennium, the true female awakening has finally gradually expanded, and on the contrary, the requirements and interpretations of men are no longer as simple as in the past, "masculinity" and "men to support the family".

Men can also be sensitive and perceptive, and under such assumptions, Mel Gibson plays a big man, or in the words of later generations, a "straight male cancer patient".

How will he get along with his new female boss, from getting along, intersecting, to getting to know and falling in love, Nancy Meyers has very wisely created a wonderful world of humor and jokes.

Mel Gibson's change process has become interesting, and there are even some father-daughter interactions and changes in the relationship in addition to the love scenes, so that the whole process is not only hilarious, but also has some different touches.

In the end, the box office of "100% Men" was $11 million on the first day, the box office rose to $13 million on Saturday the next day, and the three-day result of the first weekend was fixed at 33.6 million, and successfully topped the single-week North American box office.

The novel story setting and interesting characters and plots have won good praise from the audience, and as a comedy, it has also played a stable box office effect.

In the weeks that followed, "Man 100%" locked itself firmly in the runner-up position at the North American box office with 15 million, 21 million, 20 million, 26 million and 15 million respectively.

In just one month of release, the film broke the box office record for a North American comedy film with $137.8 million, becoming the highest-grossing North American comedy film of all time.

This not only made Fire Lion Pictures overjoyed, but also made director Nancy Meyers and starring Mel Gibson become the objects of media enthusiasm for a while.

This further confirmed Nancy Meyers' position in Fire Lion Pictures, especially her status as the director of the "Revue Project".

With such a talented and moral talent in charge, Sid may also be more relieved to hand over the "Song and Dance Film Project" of Fire Lion Pictures, one of the two foundations, to Nancy and her team.

————————————————————

Just when Nancy and her "100% Men" were a big success in the North American market, Sid, who was supposed to be in Los Angeles, suddenly appeared in New York.

On this day, in the New York branch of Fire Lion Records, in the conference room of Viking Records, Sid chatted with a few people next to him casually.

In addition to several Viking executives, Sid was also Farrell Williams, who was recommended by Max Martin to join Fire Lion Records.

"Sid, are you sure that dude is okay?" asked Farrell Williams, looking a little worried.

"I know what you're worried about, Pharrell. Sid smiled faintly, "But I think we should at least see if he can be trusted." ”

"Alright, Sid. Farrell Williams shrugged.

At this time, several assistants knocked on the door from the outside and entered the conference room, "Boss, he's here." ”

"Where?" asked Sid, turning his head.

"Just entered the building, and now it's coming up. ”

"OK, I see. Sid nodded.

After a while, a young black man wearing a hip-hop hat walked in from outside, with an inconspicuous scar on the edge of his cheek, and it seemed that his legs and feet were still a little inconvenient when he walked.

Next to him was a white suite, none other than his agent. As soon as he entered the conference room, whether it was him or the agent, as soon as he saw the situation in the conference room, he couldn't help but widen his eyes immediately, and it wasn't until the agent pushed him that he reacted and walked over.

"You're such a rare character, 50Cent. Sid smiled and stood up, "Or should I call you Curtis Jackson?"

Yes, it's none other than 50Cent, who narrowly escaped death after being shot 9 times in the first half of the year. After more than half a year of recuperation and rehabilitation, he was finally able to get out of bed and walk, and regained his basic ability to live.

"No, no, please call me 50Cent, sir. "Even 50Cent, who lives in a bad neighborhood most of the time, knows Sid's name, especially when this genius is still his own big boss.

"Then you can call me Sid, too. Sid smiled faintly and shook 50Cent's hand, "Are you okay?" ”

"Oh, thanks, I'm in good shape. 50Cent nodded nervously.

So after everyone sat down, Sid touched his chin and smiled faintly: "50Cent, let's get down to business, you've really caused a lot of trouble this year." ”

Hearing Sid's words, 50Cent and his agent couldn't help but straighten up, and his agent immediately spoke: "Mr. Leon, everything in the first half of this year is actually ......."

Sid raised his right hand and made a stop gesture, and 50Cent's agent had to stop, and then Sid turned his head to look at him, and said with a sharp look in his eyes: "I only talk to 50Cent now, you shut up." ”

"Yes, yes......" The white agent immediately broke out in a cold sweat and nodded repeatedly.

The music industry in North America is different from the film and television industry in Hollywood, although singers also have their own agents, but their contracts with record companies are signed in a one-stop package from record albums to personal promotion.

So, for singers, record companies are a bit like big studios in the golden age, they really "own" these singers!
