Sid and the others communicated with Barron Hilton more smoothly than he expected, although he felt that the concept and concept of the Victoria's Secret show were very unusual, but Barron Hilton was very interested in it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Waldorf Astoria has always been synonymous with power and glory, Barron Hilton's mind is far more open-minded than his peers, and after discussing with Hilton CEO Bollenback, Hilton quickly agreed to Victoria's Secret's request.

The Waldorf Astoria Hotel was thus confirmed as the official venue for the future Victoria's Secret show.

――――――――――――――――――――

After Sid finally finished his business on Victoria's Secret, he was finally able to get out of his way and get into his true passion.

After all, Victoria's Secret is just Sid's temporary choice and interest, not or that kind of core business, and there are only two things that the department needs to do. First, select and appoint talents. Second, develop a strategy.

The next thing is to let the company develop on its own, just like the Berkshire Hathaway holding company, the reporter once interviewed the executives of the controlled companies and why they are doing so well.

The executive at the time laughed and said, "It must be because Mr. Buffett has forgotten that we are his company." ”

Leaving room for talented subordinates to play is what the superior should have.

After getting out of Victoria's Secret, the first thing Sid did was to board the plane leaving New York.

When Sid boarded the Gulfstream V private jet, after chatting with the captain and flight attendant, the plane began to take off under the instructions of the control tower.

After a not-so-pleasant take-off for Sid, the Gulfstream V finally calmed down after flying into the stratosphere. Sid let out a sigh of relief and unbuckled his seatbelt, and his new assistant looked over with concern, "Boss, do you need something to drink?"

Sid didn't want it, but when the words came to his lips, he nodded: "Then I want a slightly cold drink." ”

After the teasing stewardess brought over a glass of chilled blueberry juice, Sid looked at the assistant, "Show me the latest briefing." ”

"Okay, Boss. The assistant nodded, and immediately flipped out the sorted documents.

Sid looked at the other party after Justin Lin and Kevin Feige served as producers and assistant directors respectively, and the assistant found by the group's personnel department was not able to work again, but his personality was too dull and boring to make Sid unable to bring up his energy.

"Boss, do you need to rest for a while?" the assistant couldn't help but ask seeing Sid start wandering away again.

"Well, no, let's take a look first. Sid said and waved his hand, picking up the briefing and flipping it open.

The first part of the document is the content of Fire Lion Records, and now that Britney's warm-up concerts around North America are well underway, she will travel to RB with Sid next month for a global launch for her second album.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Linkin Park, the first band of Big Machine Records, the first sub-label of Fire Lion Records, finally released their debut album, Hybrid-Theory.

Because of this pre-promotion, Fire Lion Records has more experience, and they not only promoted it on regular radio, television and music media, but also cooperated with the Yahoo website to carry out special promotion on Yahoo's forum.

Under the help of various channels, although still a newcomer, Linkin Park's "Hybrid-Theory" was enthusiastically sought after by fans of metal rock and neo-metal as soon as it was released.

Whether it's "Papaercut" with a rap rhyme, or "One Step Closer" as a response to Rage Against The Machine's classic track "Killing In The Name", this song is also the track that Sid heard them sing in an underground concert.

Singles such as "Points Of Authority" that appeared on the soundtrack of the movie "Devil's Successor" are the best examples, and the charming chorus melody of "In The End" also has unconventional commercial potential.

Whether it is a good standard or all-round publicity, the album has a group of fans before its release, and in the first week of the release of "Hybrid-Theory", it has slashed more than 900,000 copies of sales. This good start at Linkin Park immediately boosted the confidence of the people of Fire Lion Records.

It also made the record industry look at the strength of Fire Lion Records again, although compared to the copyright library of millions of songs of those big record companies, Fire Lion Records looks like ants shaking trees. But when people put the Fire Lion Records in the Fire Lion Group to watch, it is difficult to ignore the linkage and amplification effect it plays.

But in any case, for Fire Lion Records, the next 50Cent and Dong Fei Farrell Williams albums will also go more smoothly.

In addition, the first season of "Lost" on Fire Lion TV has been preliminarily filmed in Hawaii and is being shipped back to Los Angeles for post-production. The hit "24 Hours" was more popular than Sid expected, not only with ratings firmly fixed at around 15 million, but also the mainstream media praised its revolutionary creativity and new, cinematic shooting methods.

"Variety" Weekly even boldly predicted, "The success of "24 Hours" indicates the development of American dramas in the future, and it will be very different, fast-paced, big-scenes, and more cinematic shooting techniques will surely sweep the entire American drama market." And the change started with "24 Hours". ”

As for the reality show that Fire Lion TV specializes in, preparations are also in full swing with the beginning of the new millennium, and the national audition for "American Idol" led by Simon Fowler's team is in full swing. Another long-awaited reality show has also begun to prepare, that is, "Dancing with the Stars", which was proposed by Sid and produced by the headquarters of Fire Lion TV!

As the top reality show "in history" after the king of reality shows, "American Idol", "Dancing with the Stars" is just the opposite of "American Idol". If "American Idol" is an adventure that allows ugly ducklings from all over North America to realize their American dreams.

Then "Dancing with the Stars" is a reality show that puts the stars in the position of being judged, so that the audience can have a good time with the judges. Because although "Dancing with the Stars" also invites a variety of celebrities from television, film, sports and politicians, none of them are professional dancers themselves.

Over the course of the show, the stars will be paired with a professional dancer, 8 stars, who will be crowned champions over the course of 8 weeks through preliminaries, knockouts and finals. And from the very beginning, the winner of "Dancing with the Stars" was in the hands of the mass audience. The audience has to vote by phone and text message, which will determine the direction of these stars.

Therefore, they are also as an amateur to face the evaluation of professional judges and the judgment of the public, and for the sake of the effect of the program, the judges selected by Fire Lion TV Station also have a poisonous tongue, professionalism and fairness.

These will show the dramatic effect to the greatest extent, elegant and beautiful dance, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and sensual attitudes of the stars, plus gorgeous costumes, dazzling stage, beautiful dancing, beautiful music, and of course, the celebrity popularity of all stars.

This mix of everything, just by looking at the design case, you can know that this is going to be a hot and beautiful reality show.

So, although Sid handed over "American Idol" to Simon Fowler's team to produce, the Fire Lion TV station that got "Dancing with the Stars" did not complain, but enthusiastically devoted itself to the production.

Because there were only 8 weeks in total, and almost all of them were live, "Dancing with the Stars" was placed in early June, after "American Idol".

On the one hand, it is to avoid internal competition for resources. On the other hand, because the audience votes for the winner by phone, a new way that no one in the United States or even the world has ever tried, so it is more logical to let "American Idol" first familiarize the audience with this interactive method, and then launch "Dancing with the Stars".

Since the beginning of this year, Fire Lion Pictures, which has also begun to become lively, has also promoted five big movies including "Youth Musical" 2, "Ghost Movie 2", "Man 100%" and "The Da Vinci Code" at an unprecedented speed.

This not only ensures the stability of the initial outbreak of Fire Lion Pictures, but also ensures the safety of the capital chain. This is very good news for those who have bought the Lion corporate bonds.

In addition, Blue Sky Studio's first animated feature film "Ice Age" is finally on track, and after completing the initial animation storyboard, the entire studio is fully launched and begins to go all out towards the goal of challenging Pixar.

Of course, of course, there is also the biggest project of the Fire Lion at present, and it is also Sid's biggest project, which is enough to affect the entire Hollywood situation in the future - "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Sid flipped through the final audition information sent by Henry and Justin Lin, and Sid's busy work in North America in the first half of the year made it impossible for him to participate in all the auditions for all the actors in London. Sid did not show up in the first four rounds of auditions, and the casting team and production team conducted the primary.

In fact, this is also the usual way of casting for large-scale Hollywood projects, after all, the director has neither the energy nor the ability to do everything.

When Sid flipped through the list of candidates for Hermione and Ron's little actors, he flipped through them very quickly, and some of the small candidates highlighted by the casting director were quickly flipped through by Sid, until he found the two little faces in his memory, and he didn't stop until he found the two little faces in his memory.

Sid looked at the photo on the profile, the beautiful and somewhat excessive brown-haired, big-eyed, watery little Lori, he couldn't help but the corners of his mouth and muttered, "Hello, Hermione!"
