"Juno", which has a double success at the word-of-mouth box office, not only cemented Sid's directorship, but also made their third blockbuster film this year since "Earth Thunder" and "Youth Musical" 2.

Although the current Fire Lion Pictures will also buy some films outside for distribution, like other medium-sized film companies, but because of their cooperation agreement with AMC Cinemas, only their own films are included. Therefore, it is difficult to find blockbuster films with box office potential for these purchased films that can only be screened on a small scale in advance.

Therefore, for the time being, the annual output of Fire Lion Pictures is still quite small, not to mention that compared with the seven major studios with an average annual output of about 20 films, even with the same level of DreamWorks, the young Fire Lion Pictures is obviously not comparable to the three giants with rich network resources.

But this is not without its benefits, it can reduce the number of films released, and it can also allow Fire Lion Pictures to focus on producing and distributing excellent films, and this year, Fire Lion Pictures plans to release a total of 7 films.

Both of them are Sid's literary films, and although the summer blockbuster "Youth Musical" 2 is the only one, the results against the sky are enough to make others red. As for the rest, it is Sid's previous prank, which was filmed by Justin Lin for "This Man is from Earth", the blockbuster "Ghost Record 2" on Halloween, and "Man 100%" directed by Nancy Meyers herself.

Oh, and by the way, there's also a Halloween family carnival – and Blue Sky Studios' first "Ice Age"!

Just as Fire Lion Pictures is carrying out this year's plan step by step, Fire Lion TV, as a fire lion cash cow, has finally entered another important battlefield outside of reality shows - American dramas!

After the screening of "24 Hours" at the beginning of the year, it not only won rave reviews from many professional media in one fell swoop, but more importantly, it was loved and sought after by a wide range of audiences, with an average rating of 12 million, which is already quite a good result for a newly launched American drama.

This also laid a solid foundation for Fire Lion TV to open up the American drama market.

But when it comes to the American drama market, it is still a cyclical market led by September every year. Whether it is the king American drama "Friends", which is now in full swing, or mainstream American dramas, a large number of American dramas such as "ER" and "Law and Order" premiere every year.

Therefore, Fire Lion TV, which has decided to officially enter the American drama market, will certainly not ignore such an important schedule. Following "24 Hours", two new American dramas premiered in September.

Moreover, this is not an unknown series, but an adaptation of Sid's own - "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost".

Whether it is the former a few years ago, after it went public, the whirlwind that blew in the circle of female readers almost caught up with the female drama "Sex and the City" that is now in full swing. After the latter decided to start filming, he decided that the entire crew would go to Hawaii to shoot and spend $25 million to shoot the first episode.

Yes, not the first season, but the first episode.

This kind of heroic style of local tyrants has made these two new American dramas on Fire Lion TV already hot topics before they are released.

So although there are only two new dramas on Fire Lion TV this year, major TV networks have already regarded their new dramas as the number one precautionary target.

It's a pity that the TV circle is not the film industry, and the major cable TV stations and TV networks that control the channels are separated from each other, so this kind of prevention is destined to be nothing more than "wishful thinking".

Many fans of "Desperate Housewives", especially those North American housewives who have leisure and money, have long been looking forward to this adaptation.

In any case, "Desperate Housewives", as the first battle, still arrived as scheduled on the premiere day at the end of September.

Alice Younger, a housewife with a happy and perfect life, appears first, and in a seemingly bland plot, when Alice sends her family away, she takes out a pistol from the closet in the hallway, and then - suicide by drinking bullets!

In just one minute at the beginning, such a jaw-dropping plot was thrown out, and even those viewers who hadn't watched it were quickly attracted.

Next, it's time for Show-Time.

Although Alice is dead, her bland and gentle narration still accompanies all the audience as always, and the four real desperate housewives appear in turn, whether it is Susan, a silly big sister single mother looking for true love, or Brie, a perfect housewife who is perfect on the surface but in fact her married life is in crisis, and of course, Linna, the mother of four sons, and the beautiful ex-model & amp; Gabrielle having an affair with an underage gardener.

In addition to their confusion about Alice's suicide, their "colorful" life is also displayed in front of the audience, and at the end of the first episode, they find a threatening letter related to her suicide in Alice's belongings.

Shocked, they decided to pursue the truth.

In the first episode alone, "Desperate Housewives" won the premiere ratings of 21.6 million viewers in one fell swoop with the popularity accumulated in the original book and the excellent quality of the series itself!

This is an incredible premiere result!

Even compared with the Fire Lion TV itself, the premiere performance of "Desperate Housewives" is more than twice the premiere performance of "24 Hours".

As for the other big TV networks, they're going to die of envy.

In addition to its incredibly high premiere ratings, "Desperate Housewives" has also received widespread acclaim from North American newspaper critics.

"Variety" Weekly reacted as fast as ever, writing in the newspaper the next day: ""Desperate Housewives" is adapted from Sid Leon's name, which not only inherits the brilliance and wisdom of the original book, but also shows it in the most appropriate way, and it is expected that it will be widely welcomed by the audience. ”

The Chicago Sun-Times said: "Once again, the Lion TV station has shocked and amazed us. ”

Even the New York Times said, "It's the best show I've watched since Sex and the City with a female protagonist." ”

The premiere of "Desperate Housewives" really put Fire Lion TV in the center of the North American TV circle for the first time, because this is the first time since a series of reality shows that Fire Lion has become the king of traditional game rules - American drama!

Win the top of the ratings in the mainstream market and hit it in one hit!

At the same time, the popularity of "Desperate Housewives" has really leveraged a conventional "unspoken rule" in Hollywood - women over 25 years old cannot show their brilliance on the screen!

The success of "Desperate Housewives" has made people look forward to "Lost" in the coming week.
