The "Song and Dance Project" is a plan that goes beyond the limitations of traditional film series and focuses on the film genre.

It has inherited the snowball effect of the series of movies. Because after the success of films of the same type, it will naturally make the audience have better expectations and box office. Just like the North American TV circle in history, each TV network will create a series of dramas of the same type centered on the most popular dramas in the world, and get a better product effect.

Just like CBS's criminal investigation crime drama centered on "CSI" in history, ABC centered on "Desperate Housewives", and later turned into a women's station that focuses on women's themes.

At the same time, the "Song and Dance Film Project" can get rid of some of the inherent limitations of traditional series films, such as the limitation of the number of episodes, or the limitation of subject matter and plot.

After all, no matter how good a series of movies is, it can only play in the elements of the corresponding style. Just like "Mission Impossible" and "007" are both excellent spy action movies, but they have very different styles from each other and attract very different audiences.

is like Sid's plan, from "Song and Dance Youth", which is both singing and dancing, to "Dancing Out of My Life", which focuses on dance, and then to "Perfect Tone", which is the core of songs. Centered on these series of movies, a series of music series and TV movies are surrounded by a series of TV movies.

In this way, in the field of youth song and dance films alone, the fire lion can construct a film series that belongs to itself, no less than any of the seven major studios.

Moreover, this is still a low-cost, high-yield master series, and this alone makes me wonder how many Hollywood counterparts I have to envy.

The impact of "Youth Musical" is not limited to this, when the Fire Lion once again achieved unprecedented success in the field of youth musicals, the seven major Hollywood studios finally woke up like dull stupid elephants.

Among them, Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox, which have newly changed their owners, have the fastest response, and after the success of "Youth Musicals 2", they can't help but announce their entry into the field of youth song and dance films, and will produce a series of youth song and dance films such as "Sweet and Spicy Dance" and "Dance Dreams Come True".

For a time, song and dance youth films have become the hottest genre films in Hollywood, and even the adaptation of the old classic "Moulin Rouge" has jumped out and gained a wave of popularity.

"Variety" Weekly couldn't help but say: "Fire Lion Pictures has led the Hollywood song and dance trend this time!"

"No, no, that's too low. Sid said with a smile and a knock on the table.

On the other side of the video phone, several main persons in charge of Fire Lion Pictures were a little surprised, Sean, the manager of the distribution department, and Rehm, the manager of the publicity department that was established later, were very surprised, and even Henry, the manager of the production department next to Sid, was slightly stunned.

What they are discussing is the issue of dividends for the actors and creators of "Youth Musical" 2, the cost of $12 million for "Youth Musical" 2, although it can already be regarded as a "big production" in youth idol films. However, the crazy result of the North American box office exceeding 100 million in three weeks is expected to surpass the North American box office performance of the previous work of 800 million US dollars, and even hit the box office mark of 300 million US dollars.

In that case, the film will surely make more than $100 million at the North American box office alone.

On the other hand, when filming "Youth Musical" 1, Sid was very "prescient", asking all the main actors to sign a package salary agreement for the trilogy, and paid the three films at once. Jessica Alba, the highest-paid film, adds up to only $1.5 million, and the others are even less pitiful.

So this made several young leading actors, and now they can only watch "Youth Musical" with red eyes, and they are making rapid progress in the North American film market. In order to appease the actors' considerations, Fire Lion Pictures finally decided to pay some box office dividends to several leading actors. It's just that there are some disagreements about the specific amount.

The side, led by Rehm, the manager of the publicity department, proposed to give up to $1 million in dividends to the two main characters, Chris Pine and Jessica Alba, and the other four main actors ranged from 800,000 to 500,000 in turn.

And the plan proposed by Sean, the manager of the distribution department, is slightly more generous. Give the male and female protagonists a dividend of $1.5 million each, and the remaining four leading actors will share a dividend of $2.5 million.

Sid was a little speechless about these two proposals, the former was too stingy, and the latter felt that it would make several secondary leading actors fight, and then "Youth Musical" would be filmed?

"The reason why I asked all the leading actors to sign the package salary agreement before was mainly to prevent excessive and unreasonable salary increases. is like Tom Cruise's "Mission Impossible 2" this year, with a 30% box office dividend and an actual salary of $75 million. Isn't it funny that more than half of Paramount's profits go to Tom Cruise. Sid spoke.

"But we don't have to be too overkill, "Youth Musicet 2" alone has a box office revenue ratio of more than 10 times, so appropriate remuneration dividends should still be given. Especially the two starring Chris Pine and Jessica Alba, I think with their current popularity, I am afraid that a few commercials will only earn more than 1 or 2 million US dollars. ”

Sid smiled slightly, which embarrassed Rem and Sean and others, and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"That's... Boss?" Henry, Sid's side, couldn't help but ask.

"Well," Sid tapped on the table, "Chris and Jessica will each give $3.5 million in dividends." ”

"Okay, I got Sid. Shirley Sandberg, who had not spoken before, nodded.

Then Sean looked up at Sid, "The boss." ”

"What?" Sid asked curiously.

"What about the other lead actors?" he asked.

"Then it's up to you. Sid waved his hand, he was not interested in other small roles that were not well-known, and besides, he intervened in the dividends of Chris and Jessica, on the one hand, for the smooth filming of the next sequel, and on the other hand, because their agent was an old buddy Ali Emmanuel.

Otherwise, Sid would not have been idle and personally intervened in such a trivial matter.

"Thank you all for coming today, our Victoria's Secret, the first Canadian flagship store has officially opened!" Victoria's Secret's new CEO, Mark Lee, said to the camera with a smile.

Then he took the gold-plated scissors from the hand of the concierge, cut the red ribbon with a "click", and the cheers immediately resounded in the sky - Victoria's Secret's first overseas flagship store in Toronto's SOHO business district has finally opened after five months!

This is Victoria's Secret's first small step overseas, but it is also a big step in the strategic shift.
