Chapter Seventy-Nine: The American Drama Corps

While Sid and Max Martin were taking the opportunity to take a vacation in Paris, the latest reality show on Lion TV, "Big Brother", was scheduled to air in October. Pen ร— fun ร— Pavilion www. ๏ฝ‚๏ฝ‰๏ฝ‘๏ฝ•๏ฝ‡๏ฝ…ใ€‚ ๏ฝ‰๏ฝŽ๏ฝ†๏ฝ

The term "Big Brother" first appeared in the post-apocalyptic science fiction novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by British writer George Orwell.

In this post-apocalyptic sci-fi world, powerful dictators have created a totalitarian society like an iron bucket in pursuit of maximum power, and the people are monitored and brainwashed all the time. Among them, all of them refer to the rulers of this totalitarian society as "Big Brother".

"Big-brother-is-watching-you" is arguably the most famous line in "Nineteen Eighty-Four."

Therefore, the term "Big Brother" has a special meaning in the Western world.

Naturally, Big Brother caught the attention of a middle-class audience, and as the name suggests, the reality show gathered sixteen strangers to live in a house as roommates.

And this house was pre-filled with cameras and microphones by the program team.

These contestants, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all their every move will be recorded, edited, and broadcast on Fire Lion TV.

This time, Big Brother Big-Brother became a huge audience in front of the TV, a reality show that satisfies both voyeurism and surveillance. As soon as Pu was broadcast, it was immediately popular with the audience.

In order to increase the highlights, at Sid's suggestion, Fire Lion TV seconded several directors and executive producers from the program team of "Survivor", and added competing themes and weekly tasks based on "Survivor".

And in all the rules, participants are encouraged to fight more fiercely through strategy, alliances, etc. Then at the end of each week, everyone votes to decide on a roommate who will be eliminated.

Therefore, some media also call it an "indoor version" of "Survivor".

But in fact, the prototype of this show was purchased from the Dutch reality show of the same name, and in the first half of this year, the first season of the Dutch version has been an unprecedented success. Although after that, all major TV networks in North America wanted to buy the North American copyright, but they were depressed to find that this show had been bought by Fire Lion a few years ago.

With the Dutch version of Zhuyu in front, combined with Sid's "advanced vision", this time the American version of "Big Brother" has been broadcast and has received more than 10 million ratings, although after that, it has fallen slightly, but the average rating has also remained above 9 million.

This allowed Fire Lion TV to successfully create another new program, and at the same time, after the results of the first week of "Big Brother" were announced.

Fire Lion TV officially announced its entry into the American drama market!

Their first series will be adaptations of Sid's blockbuster novel series "24 Hours," "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives," and the first to premiere next spring will be the teen comedy "Hannah Montana" starring Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Seyfried and Zac Efron.

This time, the North American TV circle has completely exploded!

"24 Hours", "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" are popular novels that have been selling for several years, and there are countless fans. Since its announcement, the three series have garnered attention far beyond "history".

Among them, "24 Hours" is still starred by Sid's queen star Jeremy Renner, which immediately aroused cheers from fans.

As for the Hawaii live-action shooting of "Lost", the large-scale audition of the four female protagonists of "Desperate Housewives" has aroused heated discussions among the melon-eating audience in North America.

But to say that the most popular among young people in North America has to be "Hannah Montana", to no other reason, but after the Lion TV announced the starring cast, the news publisher added "All the original songs of this show are composed and written by Mr. Sid Leon himself!"

Prodigy Sid, after the novel and director, once again crossed over to compose and write lyrics!?

This extraordinary talent, which is completely unconstrained by gravity, once again ignites everyone's pursuit and curiosity about Sid. What's more, the craze of "Youth Musical" has not passed, and as the youngest successful director in Hollywood, this aura can't help but make people envious, jealous and hateful.

"Well, overall, it's a pretty good plane. Sid stood in the spacious cabin of the ACJ319 private jet and nodded in satisfaction.

As the world's first large private jet, Airbus' ACJ319 not only meets the requirements of large space, but also can achieve landing and landing at most airports around the world, coupled with an ultra-quiet cabin design comparable to Rolls-Royce, stable and safe flight capabilities.

Sid was much more satisfied with the plane than the small Gulfstream 5.

The director of Airbus marketing next to him said with a smile: "I knew that Mr. Leon would like this aircraft." โ€

"But," Sid said, "your cabin design is so old-fashioned, I feel like I'm 30 years old when I come in." โ€

"Hehe, the style of our design department is indeed not as good as that of a young hero like Mr. Leon. The director of marketing at Airbus immediately said: "But we can design the interior according to your requirements, whatever your requirements, we can meet them." โ€

"Wellโ€”" Sid laughed, "I'm not a designer, so I'd better leave this to someone else." I'm going to have my people contact the Los Angeles Avant-Garde design studio, and you can contact the design studio and decorate it according to the blueprints that I discussed with them. โ€

"That's no problem!" said the director of Airbus Marketing.

"As for the number...... Sid thought for a moment, "I'll buy two for myself." "Considering Sid's travels with Britney and Lindsay, the two planes are considered the minimum standard.

"In addition, the company will lease it for a long time, and as for how many planes to rent, you can discuss it with my COO Shirley's team. Sid finally smiled mischievously, and he decisively threw the burden out, "I've already told them about this, you guys can go and contact the company at our Los Angeles headquarters." โ€

"Okay, no problem. The director of Airbus Marketing immediately nodded.

"What's the deposit for my private plane?" asked Sid.

"The price of an ACJ319 is 87 million US dollars, and if you have a deposit, you only need to pay 2 million US dollars first, and the rest of the money can be delivered when the aircraft leaves the factory next year. Airbus Marketing Director said familiarly.

"OK, no problem. Sid nodded, although most of this year's savings were used to buy AOL shares, but Sid Guang's royalty income is nearly a million dollars every month. So a small deposit is still not a problem.

On November 4th, in AMC's 300 theaters, a film made by an unknown director from the United Kingdom - "Buried Alive" was released.

Although the director of this film, Christopher Nolan, was previously unknown, only the two labels of the leading actor Jeremy Renner and the screenwriter Sid Leon attracted some media and fans.

And because this is the first film produced by Fire Lion Pictures, which is not directed by Sid, it has attracted a lot of attention from the industry in another sense.

A truck driver wakes up from a coffin 6 feet underground, the vicious Iraqi extortion terrorist organization, the American police who blame each other, and the US military who lie about it. How a small person survives in such a crack, a movie with only one character.

Although this movie did not cause a wide range of repercussions, it did make a lot of waves among niche core fans.

The Chicago Tribune praised the new generation of directors: "This thriller is wonderful. In contrast, other films of the same genre in recent years have been like a group of demons dancing."

USA Today focused on the design of the script: "The film's constant suspense and rare performance make it a huge attraction for audiences."

But as always, the New York Times, the leader of the East Coast, is not waiting for the new film from Fire Lion Pictures: "The technique of the film is like that of the male protagonist who is tied to a coffin and vomits all the time - he doesn't know where he is." The film's shooting technique greatly compromises the integrity of the film."

Although there is only one actor in the film, and the whole time is in the coffin, in fact, the technical team from Industrial Light & Magic has created 7 very unique coffins for this film.

Each has a very different role and purpose, and one of them has been designed with movable extraction planks that allow Nolan to do a 360ยฐ rotation around Jeremy Renner.

The other also has a very narrow volume, so that when it is necessary to zoom out, it can show Jeremy's solitude in an underground coffin.

In the end, this low-cost film with a cost of $3 million won 10 million in North America and 9 million overseas at the box office.
