Chapter 3 Annual Virtue and Art Shuangxin

The same was happening in North America and other European countries when Sid's new single was played on radio in London. Although the TeenPop songs are different from the previous ones, many people are very surprised.

But the catchy music and the now-popular TeenPop style made the three TeenPop singles, including "It's going to Be Me," quickly become popular in Europe and North America.

In addition to the first release of "It's going to be me", the second song "Bye Bye Bye" is even more popular because of its catchy rhythm and easy-to-remember lyrics.

The lyrics of "Baby, Bye Bye Bye-" have become a brainwashing divine comedy, and anyone will hum two sentences.

"Baby, let's break up, bye-bye-byeβ€”don't want to complicate the situation so much-" Old Man Charles hummed the lyrics of "ByeByeBye" to the song on the radio, and put the things in his office one by one into the cardboard box that the secretaries had given him.

"Ohβ€”β€”, old man, how are you tidying up?" A voice suddenly interrupted him, and when the old man looked up, it was Sid who knocked on his office.

"Hehe, how do you have time to come to me?" asked Old Man Charles with a smile.

"I don't respect the old and love the young, so let's take a look at the situation with you first. Sid said with a smile, and then he walked in, "How's it going?"

"I just packed up and packed up my personal belongings, and the General Affairs Department sent someone to take care of other things. Old man Charles smiled faintly, and after speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect us to move to Century City so soon, it's really like a dream." ”

Yes, the beginning of the new year.

Everything has a new atmosphere, and for the Fire Lion Group, the biggest change in the new year is - moving!

With the continuous growth of film and television businesses, especially the unconventional record of $1 billion in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the Fire Lion has grown at a rapid pace.

The Fire Lion Group, which has been located in Pasadena, East Los Angeles, is not geographically convenient for daily business exchanges with Hollywood companies in West Los Angeles.

So after the board of directors unanimously discussed and decided, the Fire Lion decided to move to the real heart of Hollywood - Century City!

With CAA's "Death Star" building in Century City last year, Century City, known as the heart of Hollywood, is becoming more and more worthy of its name.

Therefore, moving to Century City not only represents the growth of the fire lion, but also symbolizes the fire lion that started on the street and officially stepped into the center stage of Hollywood.

"Hee-hee, it's just a Century City, you don't have to get too excited. Sid smiled slightly, "When we move to Burbank that day, it's not too late to freeze the chicken." ”

Burbank is another satellite city in the northeast corner of Los Angeles, and it's not too far from the city, on the northeast flank of the Hollywood Mountains.

But even more famous, it is also the world-famous "media capital of the world", where Disney is headquartered, more than 80% of the United States

Other media bigwigs, such as Warner Bros., NBC and Viacom, have branches here.

Entering here, it is not only to enter the Hollywood stage, but to become a top player who really has the right to speak, side by side with the existing six major media groups.

Sid's meaning is obvious, and in his sharp words, he is directly referring to the six major studios in Hollywood.

Old man Charles couldn't help laughing, "Good boy, ambitious." But the old man then changed his words, "It's just a matter of moving faster, don't wait for me to hang up." ”

"Haha, old man, you are healthy and live a long life, how can it be so easy to hang. Sid immediately retorted with a smile, and the two naughty boys, one old and one young, looked at each other with a tacit understanding.

The new location of the Fire Lion Group is in the prime location of Century City, the 12th Building on Constellation Avenue, a 5-storey office building after a three-year pre-lease of the prepayment, this entire building has become the new office location of the Fire Lion Group.

The main divisions of Fire Lion Pictures, Fire Lion Records, and Fire Lion TV have all moved here, while other subsidiaries such as Marvel, Blue Sky Animation, Macguff Special Effects, Netflix, YouTube, etc., have also set up offices on the floor to be responsible for overall coordination.

Century City office buildings are always in high demand, and often before the previous company has time to leave, the new company can't wait to move in, just like the ever-changing Hollywood.

After waiting for the bodyguards to park several cars in the underground parking lot, Sid and his party took the elevator to the third floor.

While the people at the Fire Lion wanted to leave the top office for Sid, he didn't want to turn his company into an old-fashioned corporation divided from top to bottom.

Therefore, Sid and Shirley arranged the core department of the group of the general control company on the third floor in the middle, which is just convenient for the upper and lower control of various departments.

The originally weak Fire Lion, after several years of development, although under the control of Sid and Shirley, has always focused on streamlining personnel and cultivating elites.

But as a traditional manpower-intensive industry, the entertainment industry is inherently labor-intensive.

As each department has expanded, they now have more than 900 employees, and while some of them are scattered in North America and around the world, the headquarters is certainly the largest and densest, so it takes an entire building to work in one building.

Moving the entire group is not a trivial matter, although it is only from Pasadena City to Century City, but the things that need to be coordinated and controlled must be handled by very many people.

Fortunately, with a management expert like Shirley in charge of the day-to-day operations of the group, Sid no longer has to spend his energy on these trivial tasks.

In addition, at the beginning of the new year, when Time magazine screened last year's Person of the Year, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was honorably elected for directing the rescue in 911, and he was also called "the mayor of the United States" by Oprah.

There is nothing to question about this matter itself, but it was only later that "Time Magazine" suddenly announced a new piece of news, which made the whole of North America can't help but stop sideways.

Because they specifically listed Sid, who broke the box office record of $1 billion last year with "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", as "Artist of the Year", which has never happened before.

This is like the "special award" set up by the Oscars in recognition of Shirley Temple, although it was beyond the norm, but it was quickly accepted by people.

After all, the director who broke the box office of one billion at the age of 20 is absolutely unique in human history.
