Sid's words did not discourage Simon Fowler, on the contrary, he said with a confident smile: "If that's the case, I don't think you need to see me." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Sid picked up the teacup and took a sip of black tea, smiling slightly, "You're a smart man, Simon." However, if you want to create your own business, you have to be a wise person. ”

Simon Fowler muttered and moved his lips, but Sid didn't wait for him to speak, and said, "I don't want to buy your idea, I want to buy you!"

At this time, Simon Fowler was finally no longer as stable as Mount Tai, he looked at Sid with a complicated expression, Sid knew what he was thinking: "Simon, my conditions are very simple, I am willing to invest 5 million US dollars in you to establish a new TV program company in the United States and the United Kingdom." The promise I can give you is that you will be the CEO of the new company, and I can also give you 5~10% of the shares. ”

"5~10%!?" Simon Fowler looked at Sid suspiciously.

"Yes, the base share is 5%, and then it is gradually increased according to the annual results. Sid nodded, "But, correspondingly, all your ideas can only be made by a new company, and you can't start a new business or sell it privately." ”

"Up to 15% of the shares......" Simon Fowler also wanted to bargain.

Sid pressed his palm, "Simon, take a long-term view, as long as this show is done, then TV stations all over the world will come back to buy the rights." Just like I bought Survivor and Who Can Be a Millionaire, by that time, you'll be able to benefit from all the rights sales. ”

Seeing Simon Fowler's hesitant expression, Sid decided to add a fire, "This way, after this show that chooses a singer." If you can develop something new, great, then we can go up to 5% of the shares, how about that?"

At this moment, Simon Fowler finally stopped hesitating, and he solemnly stretched out his hand: "It's a pleasure to work with you, Sid." ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Sid's most important work in the UK was undoubtedly the preparation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which was carried out at the Pinewood Studios on the outskirts of London after the crew arrived in England one after another.

The studio was once the setting for Marilyn Monroe's classic film "The Dragon," but of course, another aspect of its history is its outdated equipment.

"I'm going, are these old set equipment going to shoot Shakespeare for the queen to see?" Henry couldn't help but complain as soon as he entered the soundstage of Pinewood Studios.

After all, the UK has no experience in shooting special effects blockbusters, so compared to the new special effects studio built by the Fire Lion in Canada, Pinewood Studios does look a little older.

"Hehe, it's not as bad as you say. Sid looked around the studio and said, "I remember that "Mission Impossible" and "The Fifth Element" were filmed here a few years ago, as long as you tidy up a little, it should still be fine." ”

"And that's not all, Mr. Leon. The CEO of Pinewood Studios, a gray-haired British gentleman, enthusiastically introduced: "Our Pinewood Studios is also the royal studio for the 007 series of films, and the quality of our employees is definitely the best in the UK. ”

"Okay, then we're going to rent 3 studios first. Sid turned to look at the production crew led by Henry, "Let's set the interior of the first half of the film, the exterior of the Leaky Cauldron, the streets of Diagon Alley, and the interior of the windmill on Harry's birthday. ”

"Well, okay. Henry nodded, "In terms of costumes and props, I have asked the American side to ship over the prepared parts, but in terms of special effects makeup, we need to use special silicone and special cosmetics, which must be shipped from the United States." ”

"Well, everything that the five special effects groups need should be met as much as possible. Sid nodded, "In addition to the on-site preparations, the team in Los Angeles said that the production of the preview animation is expected to take three months. ”

"In addition, in terms of the actor's audition, you also sent someone to follow the whole process, I didn't have much time to spend on this in the early stage. Sid said quickly.

"No problem. Henry nodded in agreement.

After Sid and Henry and others had to arrange, the preparations for the crew of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the UK also officially began.

The time was also in the intense work, and it slipped to October.

With the affairs being dealt with, Sid finally had some weekend leisure time in addition to his daily routine.

"It's one of the best restaurants in the city. Simon Fowler excitedly led Sid and the others to a luxury restaurant in the heart of London, Chelsea District.

"Two Michelin stars?" Sid doesn't know much about the rating system of Western food, but everyone knows the name of a Michelin star. One star is a talent, two stars are the top, and as for three stars, they are all legends without exception.

Sid's favorite three-star Michelin star was also a master chef selling roast duck stalls on Hong Kong Island, so every time he went to Hong Kong Island on business, he would stay for a day and make a special trip to the roast duck shop to relieve his gluttony.

"Yes, the chef here is notoriously short-tempered, so you should be careful later. Simon Fowler smiling.

"Temper tantrum?" Sid smiled, Simon Fowler's words immediately reminded her of a famous British chef in later generations, oh no, it should be the god of cooking!

Although this restaurant is a London restaurant, it serves French cuisine. Come to think of it, Simon Fowler would never entertain Sid with the world-famous British dark cuisine.

After Simon Fowler negotiated with them, Sid and the others finally came to the second floor of the restaurant, which was closed to the public.

The two of them were already waiting here, "Oh, you're already there." Simon Fowler smiled and walked briskly.

When the two people saw Sid and the others, they immediately stood up and looked over, which couldn't help but make Sid's eyes light up. It was a couple, a well-proportioned man in a black suit, and his short blond hair made him look sunny and handsome. He was figling the tie around his neck, clearly not quite used to the tightness of his formal attire.

The lady wore a high-necked, off-the-shoulder gown in an earthy color, and the close-fitting design was just right to set off the lady's curvaceous figure. There was a strand of air in her

"Sid, let me introduce you. Simon Fowler enthusiastically introduced Sid.

"No need. Sid smiled, "As I said at the Oscars, if there is anyone in the world today who doesn't know the young lady of the hot girls, then it's really out." ”

Sid's words immediately made the two people on the other side laugh.

"Miss Victoria Adams, it's a pleasure to meet you. Sid said with a smile as he held out his hand.

Victoria on the other side was warmly approached by Sid's enthusiasm and smiled, and then Sid "suddenly realized" and said: "Oh, it should be Ms. Victoria Beckham, I haven't had time to say, congratulations to the two of you on your happy marriage." ”

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham on the other side immediately burst into laughter, "We're glad to meet you, Mr. Leon." ”

"No, please call me Sid. Sid winked playfully and smiled.

"Then please call me Victoria, too. Victoria immediately said with a smile, and then she bumped her elbow against the man next to her, and the tall man said shyly, "Hello, Sid, I'm ......"

David Beckham. Sid said first, and then he shook the other man heavily: "I love your long midfielder." To be honest, I've always been a fan of the English team. ”

"Oh uh, thank you. David Beckham didn't expect to meet a fan of his own as soon as he came up.

"You actually watch football? Sid. Simon Fowler asked in surprise.

"Why? Americans can't like football?" Sid asked, looking at Simon Fowler with an unhappy look.

"No, no, I don't have absolutely any discrimination. Simon Fowler raised his hands in surrender and retreated.

The funny scene made Victoria laugh.

"Okay, let's sit down, or we'll keep letting the hot girls see the jokes. Sid rolled his eyes at Simon Fowler and sat down first.

Looking at Sid, who was the youngest but rhythmic throughout the whole process, Victoria smiled and said, "Hehe, I've worked with Simon for so many years, I've never seen him so deflated." ”

"Me too. Sid blinked slyly.

"Alright, I'll leave the ordering to Simon. Sid first threw the pot to the new subordinate without hesitation, and then turned his head to look at the new heartthrob Xiaobei, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, the two chatted about football: "So, I heard that Manchester United's recent record ......"

As the "old moon" of Beckham and Victoria, Simon Fowler has been most optimistic about Victoria, a member of the Spice Girls group who is not top in singing and dancing, from the very beginning.

As for David Beckham, although his mistakes in last year's World Cup made him stigmatized as a "traitor to the country", this year, he has led Manchester United to take off on the legendary treble journey.

Now that the Spice Girls group has died in name only, both Victoria and Simon Fowler want to find a new owner after the Spice Girls group disbands. Compared to the small and narrow British market, it is clear that the United States is the better choice.

That's why they found Sid, the popular Hollywood upstart.

For Sid, it's also a good deal, and the heartthrob Beckham's family, whether it's Victoria, who eventually became a fashion designer, or Beckham, a global heartthrob, can bring considerable image promotion.
