And the box office of "Tianzhao" also proves this - after winning the North American box office championship in the first weekend, although "Tianzhao" fell to the second place in North America in the next two weeks, the box office successfully exceeded 100 million in two weeks, and exceeded $150 million in three weeks.

In the fourth week, because of the lack of stamina of the opponent, he regained the top spot at the North American box office, and successfully exceeded $200 million six weeks later.

Although this result is not as good as Sid's "Spider-Man", it is enough to laugh at this year's summer file.

Coupled with the success of several other low-budget comedies and 2D cartoons in this year's summer season, Disney finally breathed a sigh of relief from the huge failure of "Pearl Harbor" last year.

A week after "Tian Zhao", "Extreme Agent XXX", produced by Sony and starring Vin Diesel, was officially released.

This spy action film, which also costs $70 million, of which $10 million was paid to the starring Vin Diesel, as an actor who only dared to shout a salary of $2.5 million in the last play, this "one-step" price increase also reflects Sony's winning and weakness today.

If you count the "loss" of "Spider-Man", Sony's current decline is about to catch up with MGM.

This movie, which costs only half the budget of "Men in Black 2", won $44 million in the first week, 22 million in the second week, 13 million in the third week, and 13 million in the fourth week.

Although it didn't explode, it was very strong.

In the long run, not only will it not lose, but it will also be able to make a profit, which can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Sony, which just experienced a rollercoaster of ups and downs last month.

Of course, the results of "XXX Agent" are not as bright as "Tian Zhao", but its serialized agent action movie style is incomparable to the former.

With the hot sales of the "Mission Impossible" series and the "Spy Movie" series, the enthusiasm for spy action movies in Hollywood circles has also risen, and if it weren't for Sid and Philheimer's full-fledged blockbuster series for the coming year, it is likely that the Fire Lion would also come back to lie in the muddy waters.

As the deputy squad leader in today's "Big Seven", Sony's dependence on star appeal is deepening day by day, and it is this weakness and powerlessness in "history" that has made Hollywood's star salaries rise and grow, from millions to tens of millions, and then to nearly 100 million.

The soaring cost of course, brings an increase in risk, no industry can be so long, and the resulting industry deformity is inevitable.

So later, except for one Disney, the remaining five could only reluctantly accept this "big star system", but what it brought about was the rapid decline in the salaries of small and medium-sized actors, and the million-level salaries that were still common in the 90s were completely disappeared after more than ten years, and Hollywood has completely become a winner-takes-all and a cruel world where the summer vacation is over.

For example, Robert Downey Jr. has a salary of eighty or ninety million, and "Captain America" Chris Evans is less than one million.

"Thank you, the four members of 'B's Eyes' for their wonderful performances-" As the king of day shows, "The Daily Show of Embarrassment".

Although "The Daily Show" is the most popular talk show among middle-class families and college students in North America, they also occasionally bring in entertainment stars, and "B's Eyes", which is the heavyweight transformation of Britney and Sid, even "The Daily Show" and "Yu Situ" can't ignore it.

After a playful and revealing interview, Sid performed "My Humps" and the title song "Pump It" for the second installment.

Because of the good response, and the fact that the three songs led by "My Humps" performed well, but did not have the airborne Billboard champion as expected, at the suggestion of Max Martin and others, Fire Lion Records quickly released the three songs from the second batch of "B's Eyes" charts - "Pump It", "Let's Get It Started" and "Don't Lie".

If the three songs led by "My Humps" only gave people a first glimpse of the hip-hop abilities of Sid and others, then "Pump It" can be said to really let people see the outstanding talent of "B's Eyes" as a group in hip-hop singing and creation, and the amazing ability to mix multiple styles!

"Pump It" is a mix of electronic music and hip-hop style, with a bright rhythm, dynamic style, and a nightclub-friendly genre, which quickly made this second batch of songs a new favorite of the North American public.

"Yes, "Pump It" is an adaptation of "The Del Tones Misirlou" by Dick Dyer, the guitar god of the fifties and sixties. Sid nodded and smiled in acknowledging a question from Situ.

"Pump It", although a mix of styles, is not a completely original track, but is based on a classic guitar track from the fifties and sixties, "The Del Tones Misirlou".

Although the basis of the tune is borrowed, it still can't erase the outstanding innovation of these hit classics, and it is precisely because of these multi-element hybrid innovations that the modern public has accepted and liked these songs of "B's Eyes".

In addition to the main song "Pump It", "Let's Get It Started" and "Don't Lie" with a bit of southern lyricism are also unique.

In the highly competitive European and American music scene, personalized style is definitely the foundation on which any singer band rests.

The hip-hop group "B's Eyes", which originally seemed like a joke, quickly became the darling group among European and American music circles and popular fans in just over a month.

And the six singles that are currently on the charts, all of them have entered the top 30 of the Billboard chart, and three have entered the top 10.

"Hey guys, you're doing a great job. After the live performance on "Today Show", the host Yu Situ made a special trip to the backstage to greet Sid and the others.

"Thank you, John. Sid smiled and shook his hand, Britney and 50Cent also high-fived and shook hands with him, and at this moment, one of Sid's clerks ran over with his mobile phone, "Boss, there's your phone." It's from IMG. ”

"Oh, really?" Sid nodded and took it, "Hello?"

On the other side of the phone was IMG CEO Mark Shapiro, "Boss, good news!

"Oh, is it?" Sid couldn't help but smile when he heard the long-awaited good news.

Since the acquisition of IMG, Sid has set the goal of winning the broadcast rights of the four major North American balls for its sports branch, among which the NBA, which has been committed to global promotion, is definitely the easiest target to start.

However, there is one more condition attached to the other side. Just as Sid was happy, another message came across the phone.
