With the official detonation of the global craze ignited by "Youth Musical" 2, this summer, following Tom Cruise, who is in the limelight of "Mission Impossible 2", young Jessica Alba and Chris Pine have become youth idols who have swept the world.
has even appeared in many countries, because of the popularity of "Youth Musical" 2, the sales of DVDs and videotapes of "Youth Musical" have risen together.
This shows the great energy of this song and dance trend.
Riding on this shareholder wind, the Lion Group has finally extended its tentacles overseas, especially in developed markets outside the UK. Whether it is the theatrical negotiation for the release of the film, or the choice of partners for overseas promotion, Fire Lion has finally begun to expand its own resources and contacts.

While the Fire Lion made progress at its own pace, Hollywood's biggest behemoth also made its voice heard in its own way - in August 2000, the much-anticipated merger of AOL and Time Warner on Wall Street and Hollywood was finally officially approved by the Federal Communications Commission!
This is the official approval of the U.S. federal government after the shareholders' meeting of the two parties voted to approve the merger, and the internal and external concerns that the case might be affected under the cloud of Microsoft's disintegration case immediately dissipated.
Whether it was AOL, Time Warner's internal executives, or some of the external beneficiaries of Wall Street and Hollywood, they all immediately cheered.
It can be said that any obstacle that could prevent the merger of AOL and Time Warner has been removed, and all that remains is the formal merger and integration of the management and employees of the two companies.
"Oh, yes? The merger has passed. Sid said with a slight smile, noncommittal in his tone.
As soon as the results of the FCC in Washington were revealed, Sid immediately received a call from Shirley Sandberg and his own think tank.
"Yes. Shirley nodded calmly, Time Warner is the number one enemy of the Fire Lion, and of course their every move is closely "watched" by the Fire Lion.
"And how is the merger of the two companies now?" asked Sid, seemingly unmoved.
"In terms of the intelligence we can gather so far, Time Warner is generally overwhelmingly unfavorable, with the exception of the most core entertainment division, the rest of the publishing department, the record division, and even the media department have been replaced by AOL executives. It can be said that AOL has taken over the original business of Time Warner to a large extent. Shirley replied calmly.
"Oh, how was the intel gathering on that matter?" asked Sid, curling the corners of his mouth slightly.
"It's a bit difficult, mainly because most of the information is very sensitive financial information, and the other party's confidentiality work is very thorough. Speaking of this, Shirley couldn't help frowning.
Sid smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, we still have time anyway, let's get them to complete the merger first, and then give them a salary, that's interesting." ”
Shirley nodded, "And how much do you think this will affect them?" she couldn't help but ask, even if she was as talented as her, it was difficult to predict the impact of her next move.
"10 billion [dollars] bar. Sid said an unprecedented number.
Shirley couldn't help but be startled, "Will it be so powerful?"
"Or rather, that's my expectation. Sid said with a smile.
"Okay, then let's cross our fingers (a gesture of good luck in Europe and the United States). Shirley couldn't help but joke.

As the time comes to August, another event that has long been hanging a whirlwind in North America has finally ushered in the final showdown - the final episode of "American Idol"!
As the popularity has climbed, the final of "American Idol", as predicted by Max Martin and Farrell Williams, will be between Justin Greaney and Kelly Clarkson.
The venue for the finals was also chosen by Fire Lion TV to be held in the Auditorium of the Temple, where the Oscars ceremony was just held this year!
For such unscrupulous behavior, some people say that it is a symbol of the popularity of "American Idol", and some people say that it is the arrogance of Fire Lion TV.
But in any case, the super popularity of "American Idol" is unstoppable!
From May to August, it's a full 13 weeks. Once again, the Lion TV has achieved an adventure that will surprise everyone, it is an entertainment and idol growth and adventure.
From the first 9 million people watching, to the final episode - "3, 30 million!!", as soon as the last episode started, the ratings soared to unprecedented heights, and even the CEO Charles was dumbfounded in the face of the final numbers.
When Justin Greaney and Kelly Clarkson sang at the Temple Theater. The final episode broke the ratings of 3,000 people as soon as it came up, and this achievement is certainly impossible to hide from other TV stations.
When the Fire Lion TV was born, it relied on the "terrifying" super ratings and national influence of "Who Can Be a Millionaire" and "Survivor" to gain a firm foothold.
Then with the transfer of "Who Can Be a Millionaire", "Survivor" still maintains an average rating of more than 20 million. The frequency of two seasons a year generally benefits more than the one-season method, but it still dilutes the number of viewers to some extent.
So, even Fire Lion TV has not had such a national boom program for a long time.
Not only that, when "American Idol" was rising all the way, "Dancing with the Stars" in the same schedule was not to be outdone, showing the strength of its reality show for 10,000 years.
Although I said this, it feels like "Dancing with the Stars" is a little worse, but in fact, the eight-week cycle of "Dancing with the Stars" is already the second largest in the ratings of "American Idol" among the North American TV programs throughout the summer.
And the biggest question, like the result of "Survivor Season 1", touched the nerves of the whole people - who will be the champion of "American Idol"?
"I think it's Justin [Greeney]. When CBS reporters interviewed randomly on the Avenue of Stars, many viewers and passers-by said excitedly, "I like his star style." ”
And of course, there were people who, "I think it's going to be Kelly [Clarkson], you know, there's that kind of pure natural stuff in her." ”
The two finalists were equally popular, and the intensity of the confrontation made people take their breath away, and the pressure of the final could not help but keep the tension in their hearts to the end, both for the players and the audience.
Regardless, the final episode of "American Idol" reveals the final puzzle with the eager attention of the people of the United States. To find this site, please search for "6 Mao" or enter the URL:.
