"The target audience of these novels is just staggered, and they don't interfere with each other, so they can be released and listed at the same time. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and the simultaneous listing of these novels can get enough hype space in terms of topicality and popularity, which will also help to increase the overall sales. ”

"I don't need to say more about the rest. Sid waved his hand and said, "Of course, the most important thing is Ali (Emmanuel) and your coordination with the different publishers. ”

"Well, I understand. Ali (Emmanuel) nodded repeatedly.

"Then again, even this kind of small thing has to be done by me personally, Ali (Emmanuel) Have you been a little lazy lately, or have you been running out of talent lately?" Sid asked with a meaningful smile squinting his eyes.

"No! absolutely not!" Ali (Emmanuel) immediately shook his hands and sweated.

After laughing, Ali (Emmanuel) couldn't help but look Sid up and down, which made Sid feel uncomfortable, "I said Ali, if I didn't know that you are a good wife and a good man, I would really think that you have some intentions for me." Say, what's the matter?"

Ali (Emmanuel) asked curiously, "I said, you know all these things lately, don't you?"

"What's the matter?" asked Sid, confused.

"The merger of Time Warner and AOL!" Ali (Emmanuel) said excitedly.

"Wow, calm down, Ali (Emmanuel). Yes, I know. Sid held out his hand to reassure Ali (Emmanuel).

Ali (Emmanuel) asked curiously, "Then why are you so calm? It's no secret that Time Warner and Fire Lion are mortal enemies." ”

"Oh, is this already known?" Sid asked with a calm smile.

"It's not well known, but it's not an open secret in Hollywood's high-level circles. Ali (Emmanuel) shrugged and said, "Time Warner forcibly traded 'The Lord of the Rings' to Jerry Bruckheimer's 'CSI' TV series, but Shay, the boss of New Line (Pictures), was angry enough. ”

"By the way, is CSI really so appealing, and is it worth it for so many of you?" asked Ali (Emmanuel) curiously.

"What is in the past, it is better to let it pass well, and it is pointless to turn it out again. And," Side paused, "no matter how good and strong CSI is, I'm going to kill it and Warner." Sidgubo said unfazed, but Ali (Emmanuel) saw the scorching fire in his eyes.

"Then you want to challenge Warner?" Ali (Emmanuel) asked with some trepidation, after all, Time Warner is now in the limelight, and they are now the king of Silicon Valley, AOL, no matter how you look at it, the gap between them and other Hollywood studios is getting farther and farther away.

What's more, it's a small company and group like Fire Lion that has just started for less than three years?

It's like a boxing match between boxing champion Tyson and an amateur layman, and it's not a level of war at all!

"No matter how powerful Goliath is, he will be killed by the seemingly weak David with one blow, let alone just two beasts that are strong on the outside?" said Sid with a meaningful smile, and he cleverly borrowed the legend of David killing the giant Goliath with a slingshot in the Bible.

"Okay, it's good if you have faith, I'm just worried about ......" Although listening to Sid's words, Ali (Emmanuel) still said with some hesitation.

"Even in the short term, we're pretty safe right now, especially before AOL and Time Warner officially merge. Sid spoke, then comforted Ali (Emmanuel).

"What do you mean?" Ali (Emanuel) immediately asked, after all, in the face of giants like Time Warner and AOL, even Ali (Emanuel) had to be careful.

"This merger, nominally a merger, is actually an acquisition of Time Warner by AOL. It can be seen from AOL's traditional style of sweeping away all the executives of the other party after acquiring Netscape and other companies, and it can be seen that their desire to control the new company is very strong. Sid cocked up his finger and explained.

Then the most important personnel rights of the new company will inevitably become the focus of contention between the two sides, and how can Time Warner, which has always been used to being arrogant in Hollywood, sit idly by? Then this year, the competition between AOL and Time Warner over human rights, affairs rights, and real power alone is enough for them to be busy. How can you still have the energy to take care of us? "What seemed to the media and the outside world to be the largest merger in history was immediately clear and clear under Sid's seemingly casual analysis.

"Then, Sid, who do you think will win in the end?" Ali (Emmanuel) asked curiously and slowly with a glint of gossip in his eyes.

Sid smiled slightly: "AOL, of course it's AOL AOL!"

"Why?"

"It's very simple - strength!" Sid's words resounded, "Just looking at the data, you can see that AOL has only one-sixth of Time Warner's employees, but its profit is four times that of Warner. What's more, AOL's current stock value is incredibly high, and Time Warner has no cards in his hand, so he can't play this game. ”

"After that...... Ali (Emmanuel) wanted to ask again.

Of course, only God knows. Sid said with a hidden smile, "I'm not a prophet, so how can I know everything." ”

"Really?" said Ali (Emmanuel), puzzled, "I always feel like you're hiding something and haven't said anything." ”

"It's all your delusion, Ali (Emmanuel)!" Sid said with a casual wagging finger and a smile curling the corners of his mouth.

――――――――――――――――――――

Although the voices of the outside world are disturbing, Sid is unswervingly using his own pace to open up new territories step by step.

Sunday, January 2nd, is not a good schedule for new films to be released. But Sid's new film after "Youth Musical" once again hit the Oscars - "Earth Thunder" has finally been released!

For the special release of this film in early January before the Oscar nomination ceremony, it is specifically to impact the Oscars, this kind of Sima Zhao's heart is well known.

As a remake of a classic old film from 1969, Sid's version of "Earth Thunder" has attracted the attention of many people since it was released. Since the second half of last year, although "Earth Thunder" has not been officially released, Fire Lion has already placed it at major film festivals and various film festivals.

This old film was originally the copyright of Paramount, and Sid made a deal with Shirley Lansing (female CEO of Paramount Pictures) in order to get the filming rights of this movie, and Paramount lent the copyright to Sid to shoot, without a penny of production and publicity fees, but to help Fire Lion distribute it globally, and then share the global box office of the film with Fire Lion.

So this time the premiere of "Earth Thunder" alone got more than 3,000 theaters in North America in one go. It's the most tyrant in the history of the Fire Lion.

And the more tyrant premiere, even more gathered a dozen Hollywood stars to come to cheer, for a while the premiere scene was starry-eyed, people who don't know still think that there is another blockbuster released, obviously Paramount side has also made a lot of efforts.

Putting aside these external distractions and returning to the true nature of the movie, as soon as "Earth Thunder" was released in theaters, the strong smell of the western wilderness came to the face. Sid reversed the simplicity and sincerity in "Little Sunshine Beauty", tough! tough! still tough!

The whole film is like a continuation of the resolute style of classic old Westerns, and at the beginning of the new millennium, Sid gave everyone a classic reproduction of nostalgia and depression.

Whether it is sophisticated skills or vast feelings, it can't help but make all film critics cry.

There is almost no doubt that "Earth Thunder" has received rave reviews!

Hollywood's authoritative "Variety" weekly said that Sid's new-era western film made everyone's eyes shine.

The Philadelphia Inquirer couldn't stop praising that Sid's "Earth Thunder" had the feeling that only the Coen brothers could have made, but it was younger, sharper, and it didn't have a dark, strange transformation.

The Boston Globe said that Sid could have done it in a more direct way, but he would have preferred a sharper angle, better and worse angle.

The Chicago Sun-Times also turned a corner -- I was surprised that Sid had made such a film, which was completely different from his previous works, except for the quality.

Later, even the music magazine "Rolling Stone" couldn't help but interject - Sid created a big western wilderness drama that was impressive on every level.

Even if there are a handful of bad reviews, they are all painless reviews.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the film is well-made and the performances are excellent, but Sid's remake, lacking the humor and the power to resonate, could have been more memorable.

Entertainment Weekly said that while the film is more realistic than John Wayne's version of the film, it is not as crude as the original book, and Sid's "Earth Thunder" is enough to satisfy the appetite of movie fans.

It's rare for them to praise a young director who is not yet 20 years old, but no one is surprised, as if everyone thinks, "Isn't that right? Hey, that's Sid Leonhardt!"
