Chapter 175: Gay American Drama

The prayer ceremony of the Indian elders lasted for a morning, and the entire crew, from the director and chief producer, to the drama and scene reporters, were called to the scene to accept the prayers and blessings of the Indian elders, so as to get rid of the "curse" that is currently pestering the crew.

Although Sid looked at this North American version of "Dancing God" with a speechless face throughout the whole process, everyone else was relieved as the ceremony progressed, and Uncle Depp and the little handsome man Orlando even carried the amulet given by the Indian elder with them.

"I said, don't you, you really carry it every day. After that, whenever Sid saw them carrying that ugly wood carving, he couldn't help but complain.

"Director, you're still young, it's normal not to believe this, but seriously, sometimes, things in this world can't all be explained by science, and it's better to believe it than not to believe it. Uncle Depp, who has rich life experience, said to Sid earnestly.

"Okay, okay, everyone has their own freedom, you can bring it if you like. "Sid can only let himself go in the end, and only Depp and Orlando can have a few starring roles in the talisman, and the others don't have it yet!

Originally, the Indian elder said that he had prepared a super-large and super-strong lucky charm for Sid, but Sid politely refused, and in the end it was taken by Lindsay, the little girl.

But not to mention anything else, after this prayer ceremony, the crew, which had frequent strange incidents, disappeared in a blink of an eye, and things suddenly became extraordinarily smooth.

Except for the burned-out Studio 7, which needed to reconstruct part of the scene and put it back for reshooting, there was no other trouble.

When Sid and the others finally could return to the normal filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean", the time finally came to November at the end of the year.

As the prime time before the winter break season, these two months are the time when North American TV is crazy to harvest, and the much-anticipated "Friends Season 9" will continue to become the third American drama in the same period with an average rating of more than 21 million after returning at the end of September, proud of the North American TV circle.

At the same time, "CSI Crime Scene Investigation", known as the king of American dramas, also successfully returned, although Warner Bros. TV only has such a faΓ§ade existence, but

and the second season of "Lost", "Bone Trace" and "Fairy Tale Town" on Fire Lion TV will also return in October.

As for reality shows, "Big Brother Season 4" and "Single Girl Season 2" have also returned and have been popular one after another.

With these American dramas and programs that have formed their own supporters, the Fire Lion TV can be said to be invincible, and this year, the biggest challenge for the Fire Lion TV is the new channel - Fashion and Life Channel!

After the launch of this new channel, although there were also proposals to move viewers with female surnames to the more obvious "Desperate Housewives" to the new channel, it was opposed by many senior executives of Fire Lion TV.

Sid knows that this is because of the extreme popularity of "Desperate Housewives", which has become one of the magic weapons of Fire Lion TV, sacrificing the interests of the station to support the sub-station, and indeed few people will do this.

And Sid didn't want to affect the conflict between the main branches of Fire Lion TV too much, so he added a few new episodes and programs to the Fashion and Life Channel.

The first is that Sid has already asked Ali Emmanuel to buy the copyright of "Gay and Mortal" and "La Zi Supremacy", the former is the first gay-themed American drama in North American history, originally because of the attributes of Fire Lion TV's almost free public station, so such a heavy drama project has been put untouched.

Now that the fashion and lifestyle channel is on the air, although it can't be compared with HBO, Shotime and other paid cable stations, it can also come to some more coarse, more open American dramas and programs in the late night hours.

And "Gay and Mortal", which is aimed at male gay, and "La Zi Supremacy", which is aimed at the lace edge market, have been used as the first wave of dramas on the Fashion and Lifestyle Channel.

Among them, "Comrades Are Mortals" was filmed as early as 1999, and the British version was filmed, although after three years, the American version was late, but as soon as the relevant news was released, it caused a lot of waves among the Gay audience and mainstream audiences.

Although it is not clear why, so far, there is still no film series in North America that tells the story of homosexuals in a positive way, and although people are becoming more and more open-minded in the 21st century, North America, which is conservative in mainstream thinking, has always lagged behind Europe in this regard.

The British version of "Gay and Mortal" was a huge hit after it was broadcast, and the starring role is about the "love story" between the three protagonists.

After Sid bought the rights, he has been having people adapt the script, not only expanding the content of the series to five seasons, but also adding more descriptions of the living conditions of Gay in North America today, the current situation of human rights struggles, and even the highly controversial surnames, unique products and AIDS elements, all of which have been put on the small screen one by one.

It can be said that the version of Fire Lion TV has added more realistic elements, as well as more controversial and eye-catching elements, so that this series has attracted the attention of the gay community and viewers interested in the gay theme from the very beginning of its promotion.

As for "La Zi Supremacy", it is even more gimmicky with "the first lesbian love drama in history", which has attracted the attention of many viewers and the media.

If the current gay group in North American society has always appeared as a demonized "changer" image, then the lace edge group is even more niche to the point that no one knows about it, although the number of this group is not a minority, but it has never even had the opportunity to appear on the stage and let people know each other.

Therefore, this time, the Lion Fashion and Life Channel's bold move to set a precedent has attracted a lot of criticism, but it has also won the praise of many enlightened people and the support of same-surname love groups.

After the broadcast of "Comrades Are Mortals" and "La Zi Supremacy", they did not live up to the expectations of the TV station, and quickly broke the mainstream media's expectations for these two dramas with tens of millions of ratings, among which "Comrades Are Mortals" successfully exceeded 10 million in ratings for several episodes, which surprised many mainstream media.

And the spicy and realistic plot content of "Comrades Are Mortals" is even more addictive to watch, including the scenes of heavy buckles, and it once became the favorite midnight program of some urban audiences.

After these two dramas, the fashion and lifestyle channel can really stand firm, although it was crowned by some media as the "favorite of lovers with the same surname", but the excellent ratings made the fashion and lifestyle channel quickly become a cable TV station that can compete with the AMC of Rainbow Media Holding Group.
