It is precisely under such a rare, but ingenious ring design that the films of Fire Lion Pictures, especially the big-name commercial films, can develop at a rapid speed.

As for the new agreement between Fire Lion and Sony, it is based on the original, adding the sales share of DVDs and videotapes, in fact, for short-term cooperation, Sid will never take out the DVD revenue of "Harry Potter".

However, as said before, Fire Lion is now in urgent need of time and space for development, and Sony is the Achilles heel that balances the seven major studios, so it is still worth using part of the proceeds of a series of DVDs of "Harry Potter" to "buy" Sony and separate the seven major studios.

In the new agreement, the Fire Lion will split half of the 20% of the profits from DVD sales of the series after "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", in accordance with Hollywood convention, and share it equally with Sony.

In terms of this condition and proportion alone, the fire lion is definitely full of sincerity.

Far from it, let's just say that the fundamental reason for the huge screenwriters' strike in "history" 07 is that the screenwriters' union wants the big studios to increase the screenwriters' share of DVD revenue by 3%~3.5%.

And this 3% is not 3% of the total sales of DVDs, but 3% of the 20% of the profits that film companies traditionally count.

Just this 3% DVD profit income has triggered a general strike of screenwriters throughout Hollywood and maintained turmoil for nearly a year, and the new agreement of Fire Lion is equivalent to promising 50% of Sony's "Harry Potter" future DVD revenue in one go.

Of course, even though Sid and Shirley offered 10 percent of DVD sales to negotiate with Sony, they weren't without quid pro quo. On the one hand, Sony wants to help Fire Lion Pictures establish overseas publicity channels more deeply, and on the other hand, Sony will participate in another plan for Sid in the future.

After the success of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets at the global film market and the new deal between Fire Lion and Sony, the eyes of the entire New York City on the East Coast were once again drawn to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Because the annual "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" has finally arrived, compared with Victoria's Secret which was still in the gestation period in previous years, this year's Victoria's Secret is particularly interesting, so it has also attracted the attention of the rich and famous people on the East and West Coasts led by the "aristocracy" of the East and West Districts.

The first highlight of Victoria's Secret this year is that after Sid's acquisition of IMG Group, the "Five Angels" launched by it gathered on the Victoria's Secret catwalk for the first time.

The Fire Lion Group, which is already on a rampage in Hollywood, and the Victoria's Secret, a brand that is gradually moving towards high-end women's underwear, are all very curious about the new Victoria's Secret show.

Before the "New Five Angels" launched by IMG appeared on the Victoria's Secret catwalk, they had already walked out of a wave of small grass in the Spring and Autumn Fashion Weeks in Paris and New York, as well as the endorsements of major fashion brands.

Among them, Gisele Bundchen, who is most valued in the fashion circle, not only won the endorsement of Chanel perfume, but also closed the show for big names such as Valentino at the Paris Autumn Fashion Week.

And KK Carolina, who became popular when she debuted, won the three top endorsements of Dior, Gucci and CK, of which Gucci and CK are the endorsements that KK Carolina has not won in "history", and this time, with IMG and Fire Lion as the backing, KK's route development in this regard is obviously smoother.

Because whether it is Gucci or CK, or other fashion brands, if they want to develop, of course, they can't do without media resources and cooperation inside and outside the industry.

Not to mention anything else, just the preparation of the "American Supermodel Competition" has made a number of fashion brands see the business opportunities, "historically" because this show was originally just a show that was not favored by HF business supermodel Tyra Banks slowly developed by herself, so in the early days of the show, it was not favored by big names.

It wasn't until the show's ratings came up and it became a vane-level fashion show in North America, that this show and Tyra Banks became the darlings of the fashion circle again, and the latter even became the "mother of supermodels".

You must know that Tyra Banks was originally suppressed by Naomi Campbell, fled from Europe, and completely disappeared into the HF world.

And this time the "American Supermodel Contest" is jointly created by IMG Models and Fire Lion TV, whether it is the former's professionalism or the latter's popularity in the North American TV circle, no one can ignore the influence of such a show.

As the engine of the global economy, North America's spending power has always been second to none in the global market, so using influential TV media to promote itself is what any fashion brand can only dream of.

Therefore, this time, before the launch of "American Supermodel Competition", in order to be able to title sponsor the show, CK, the only one of the six blue-blood brands from North America, directly offered his spokesperson hands in exchange for the opportunity to cooperate with Fire Lion TV.

In addition to KK Carolina and Giselle, Tyra Banks, who has half a foot in the North American TV circle, has also regained endorsements from a series of commercial brands, including Reeves and Gap.

Although it is difficult for Terra to return to the Europe-centered HF world, IMG still formulated a suitable route for her to switch to business, that is, the development route of commercial brands, of course, for Terra, who will be the host of the "American Supermodel Contest" in the future, it is also the best way to make money in the fashion circle by engaging in her own brand of fashion and perfume.

And this is also the development route designed by Sid for KK Carolina and other five angels, including it.

The most surprising of the five angels of IMG is the selection of Angela Lindwo, who was born in North America and once competed with Giselle and Carmen Cayce for the best model of the year.

Angela Lindwo, who is secretly nicknamed the "second millennium", actually debuted quite early, as early as 1993, she was excavated from Kansas City by IMG.

At that time, it was still the time when the previous generation of Big5 was rampant, and later after cooperating with Prada in 98, Angela officially stepped into the center of the HF world in 99 because she became the new muse of Chanel Lafayette Carl Graffy, and in the next two years, she was continuously shortlisted for Vogue's Model of the Year because of her outstanding performance.

It's just in response to the old saying that "both Yu and Liang are born", when Angela began to rise, it was also the same time as the rapid rise of the two gods, Giselle and Carmen Keys, after Big5.
