Chapter 147: Golden Autumn

With the completion of "The Departed", the time has also come to September in the golden autumn, and with the final scene of the summer file closed, the hottest schedule in the film industry this year has finally ended.

In this summer file, the global audience has experienced the mixed reputation of "Star Wars Prequel 2", and the lingering plot makes people confused, is this a space science fiction film or a court romance drama?

The box office collapse of "My Little Pony" has made no one inside and outside Hollywood question that the era of 3D animation has arrived, and then the battle between Pixar, Blue Sky and DreamWorks 3D Studios has officially begun.

The performance of many well-known IP movies with high hopes is very unsatisfactory, including the poor performance of the sequel "Men in Black 2" after many years, Spielberg's "Minority Report", and of course, the epic failure of a well-known director "The Wind Whisperer"!

In comparison, "Scooby-Doo" and "Hot Mom and Girl", which are not so high-cost and not so fancy family comedies, have achieved very good results and responses.

Although Matt Damon's "Spy Shadow" is not a huge success, it has enough audience base for a series of spy films that want to start a sequel.

In this summer vacation, the only ones that can really be regarded as big hits are M. Shyamalan's "Omen" and Sid's "Spider-Man".

In this summer's file, Fire Lion Pictures actually only has two movies, "Spider-Man" and "Hot Mom and Hot Girl", although the number is much less than that of the seven, or now the big six, but the final profitability and results have given the Fire Lion, which pursues a high-quality strategy, the upper hand.

Although the film industry is one of the riskiest industries in the world, there is only one thing that matters most to audiences and film companies in the end – stories!

As long as it is a good story that really touches people's hearts, the audience will definitely can't help but buy it, this is human nature and cannot be violated.

On the contrary, no matter how big the star and huge investment are, if it is clichéd and gorgeous garbage, it will eventually be impossible to escape a "death".

After this year's slightly monotonous summer season for Fire Lion, Fire Lion TV finally got busy, and the newly opened creative and inventive reality show "Creative Winner", which has been preparing for more than half a year, "Survivor Season 6" and "Bachelor Season 3", was finally broadcast intensively in September.

In particular, this "Creative Winner", which tests the creativity and invention of the participants, was planned by Sid himself and then realized by the right-hand men under the old man Charles.

It is a platform for invention entrepreneurs to showcase their inventions and obtain investment sponsorship from the hosts.

In each episode, young people with dreams from all over the United States and even around the world come to the show with their inventions and products, and persuade 5 powerful but wealthy people to give them start-up funds to make their dreams come true.

Everyone has heard the story of the great inventor Thomas Edison, but few people have been able to succeed through such ingenuity and hard work.

Nowadays, Fire Lion TV has given the public such an opportunity, but because "Wisdom Winner" is still a reality show that integrates business and invention, an invention must not only be brilliant, but also have a selling point, otherwise how to impress the shrewd rich?

Just like Sid's previous reality show ideas, the promotion of "Wisdom Winner" quickly attracted a large number of contestants and interested viewers.

When the reality show department continued to sing triumphantly, "Lost Season 2", which had been absent for two years because of 911, was finally released, in order to help the audience "recall" the previous situation, Fire Lion TV also made only a cartoon with the essence of the plot of the first season before the series started.

At the same time, "Bone Tracing Season 2" and "Fairy Tale Town Season 2" will also be broadcast together in September.

After a year-long "window period" of "Lost Season 2", the ratings of the first episode not only did not decrease, but surpassed the first season in one fell swoop, with a "horror" rating of 23 million people, proud of the crowd, and made an extremely beautiful start for the drama department of this year's Fire Lion TV station!

Although Fire Lion TV has experienced a turbulent preparation for fashion music and sports channels this year, the double harvest of the reality show and American drama departments has not only made Fire Lion TV once again firmly sit on the position of the No. 1 cable station in North America, but also made the Fire Lion Group more solid and more abundant cash flow.

At a time when the Fire Lion Group was opening its bows left and right and blooming everywhere, two years after its launch, Nolan's new film "Memory Fragments" was finally officially released on September 5.

The reason why the "garbage schedule" after this summer file was chosen was not that Sid and Fire Lion were unwilling to give Nolan a better schedule, but that "Memory Fragments" was indeed just a suspenseful brain-burning film performed by Amy Adams and a group of young actors.

is not the kind of big-budget movie that aims at a large number of box office in the summer file, and in the end, this low-budget film with a cost of 9 million achieved a good box office of $28 million in North America and $16 million overseas.

Whether it is Nolan's previous directing of "The Da Vinci Code", or the heroine's promotional gimmick for the new Golden Globe actress, this film has gained more attention than "historical", and has also achieved relatively better results.

Although compared with the previous "Da Vinci Code", Nolan's box office performance of this film is really "unsatisfactory". But for Nolan, suspenseful and brain-burning films like "Memory Fragments" are what he really loves.

To that end, he would rather spend more time polishing his directing talents, which is why Sid is willing to continue to invest in him.

"Only those who are calm can do great things-" Sid looked calmly at the somewhat impetuously Justin Lin, today Sid was listening to the latest situation report at the Fire Lion headquarters, as the assistant director of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Justin Lin, met James Winwin Ray Warner, who came to report.

Looking at these two young people who have only been here for more than a year and have the opportunity to direct "Ghost Shadow 4", as Sid's most senior assistant, he can't help but show an impetuous look.

That's why Sid told him, "Only those who are calm can do great things." ”

"Yes, I know the boss. Justin Lin nodded sheepishly.

Sid then patiently explained: "Instead of being impatient in vain, why don't you think about what type of movie you want to make the most?"

"Type?" asked Justin Lin, frowning.
