In the darkness, a faint hoarse voice with a lazy familiarity slowly sounded.

The audience of 90,000 immediately let out a loud cheer, and at this moment, a beam of light finally appeared on the stage, and a graceful figure stood in it.

Then the lights came on, and the dancing partners appeared, and Britney, with blonde hair, walked into the crowd and sang, "Baby—I'm so into you."

This ordinary fast-paced song, after a slight change, first opens with a soothing key, and then suddenly pulls up, and the emotions of the audience are also pulled up.

The cheers of the audience immediately became louder, and even many excited fans shouted hoarsely one after another, and even Prime Minister Tony Blair, who was sitting in the VIP box, looked at Britney Spears in the center of the stage with great interest.

Just then, an agent walked in from outside, walked past the two bodyguards guarding the door of the box, and walked behind Prime Minister Blair to whisper a few words to him.

"Oh, is it? He actually wants to see me?" Blair looked back at his bodyguard in some surprise, and when he saw his expression, the Prime Minister's wife, who was sitting next to him, also looked at him curiously.

Blair smiled and waved his hand at his wife, then said to the agent, "Then let him in, I happened to meet him." ”

Moments after the agent went out, he led a dark-haired young man in a casual sweatshirt in, and as soon as the young man entered, Blair stood up with a smile, "Welcome, welcome, Mr. Leonhardt." ”

Dressed in such a laid-back outfit to meet the British Prime Minister, Sid can be regarded as "bold". Seeing His Excellency the Prime Minister take the initiative to stand up, Sid immediately walked up with a smile and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Prime Minister, and in addition, please call me Sid." ”

"Oh, Madam Prime Minister, it's a pleasure to meet you too. After greeting Blair, Sid also took the initiative to turn his head and greet the Prime Minister's wife.

The Prime Minister's wife, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help but stand up when she saw her husband paying so much attention to the comer, and then when she heard the conversation between her husband and Sid, she realized who this young American in front of her was.

"You're Sid Leon!" said the Prime Minister's wife in surprise.

"Yes, it's me. Sid admitted with a slight smile.

"You may be seated. Prime Minister Tony Blair took the initiative to point to the sofa beside him.

"Thank you. Sid thanked him slightly, and then sat down without being humble or arrogant.

Looking at Sid's calm and confident demeanor, Prime Minister Blair couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart.

After Sid sat down, he took the initiative to ask Blair with a faint smile: "Is Mr. Prime Minister satisfied with today's concert?"

At this time, the Blairs remembered that Sid was not only a talented American writer and director, but also the big boss of Fire Lion Records, the company for today's concert.

"Of course. The Prime Minister's wife immediately smiled and said, "Today is the first time for our Tony (Blair) to watch a concert." ”

"Really?" Sid raised his eyebrows in surprise, then looked at Prime Minister Blair with a smile, "Then our Fire Lion is really honored." ”

Then, while watching Britney's performance in the center of the stage, the prime minister and his wife quickly realized that although Sid was young, the city was calm and humorous.

Often after a period of conversation, there is no lack of his own keen opinions. The scene was extremely harmonious for a while, and Sid talked and laughed with the prime minister with witty words.

"Of course, I have always considered Britain to be the most important ally of the United States. But more importantly, I think the UK economy will be the most valuable in Europe as a whole, which is why we at Fire Lion are investing in the UK. Sid said with a faint smile.

As soon as Sid's words came out, Blair immediately realized that what he was facing was not an ordinary director and writer, but an upstart who really held the real power in the world media industry. However, last year's Lion Group's more than $700 million commercial case to acquire British Viking Records was already the largest commercial merger and acquisition in the British business community last year.

Sid started filming "Harry Potter" in the UK in the middle of this year, and at the same time, the investment of Fire Lion Pictures in the UK is also the largest single film project investment by a Hollywood company in the UK in recent years.

As the British Prime Minister, Blair certainly knows the importance of such tangible benefits.

Thinking of this, he immediately said with a smile: "I'm glad that Sid is so optimistic about our British economy, and our government is very welcoming to all the investments of Fire Lion in the UK." ”

Hearing this glossy official rhetoric, Sid couldn't help but smile slightly: "Mr. Prime Minister, I know that our Fire Lion is not as good as News Corporation, the kind of multinational conglomerate with big business. However, you have to know that in the film business, Hollywood is now getting more and more expensive to shoot in North America. ”

"Nowadays, everyone is looking for filming locations, such as Canada in North America, and New Zealand, which have attracted a lot of Hollywood projects because of the tax rebate policy. For example, Warner Bros.'s "The Lord of the Rings" was filmed in New Zealand, and I heard that because director Peter himself is a New Zealander, the next three films will be shot in New Zealand. ”

Sid's exuberant remarks were quite direct, and Blair of course knew what the other party meant, and of course he was bargaining for the tax rebate policy for making films.

Although it seems a little out of place to talk about this somewhat realistic topic at this time, Blair, as the first British Prime Minister of the Labour Party in more than a decade, is obviously aware of the virtues of these "distant relatives of the United States".

It has always been the style of American imperialism to lose face, and although Britain has always been a gentleman, Blair is by no means pedantic.

Blair also laughed immediately, he looked at Sid, who was bright and complacent, and then he spoke: "Of course, our government welcomes young and promising entrepreneurs like Sid to invest in the UK, and in order to better promote your investment, our government can certainly give due preferential treatment." However, it also depends on your Fire Lion project. ”

Meaning – It's okay to have benefits, but you also have to come up with enough projects and investments.

Sid smiled slightly, "At present, in terms of film and television, our biggest project is "Harry Potter", but in terms of my communication with Rowling, oh, the female author of "Harry Potter". There will be at least 6 Harry Potter films in the future, so ......"

Meaning - "Harry Potter" film project alone is enough for you to eat in the UK for 10 years!
