Even the old man Michanik, who is now the CEO of Columbia Pictures, knows very well that his job is more to help Columbia tide over the difficulties.

And Columbia Pictures, as one of the seven famous weak chickens in Hollywood, not only does he appear to be a little weak when playing with emerging media groups like Xiang Huoshi, but even they do not have an advantage in deals with Hollywood stars.

This time, "Breaking Bad" shows even more obviously, unlike a group like Fire Lion, which produces and distributes almost entirely on its own, the common rule in Hollywood is that producers and directors hold projects and scripts and look around for studios to produce and distribute films.

And in this process, the most important role played by film companies, especially large studios like Columbia Pictures, is not that of the film company that provides production and distribution. Rather, it is - in the jargon of the golden age "Bank"!

That is, funds!

Because any film project, whether it is the labor of the crew or the various expenses during production, requires a lot of money! And the core role of the film company is to provide funds.

Just like this "Breaking Bad", because it was originally an old American drama, one of the heroines who owned the copyright of this series, Drew Barrymore, borrowed his own film company and became one of the producers of the film.

At the same time, Cameron Diaz, another heroine, as the only superstar who can compete with Julia Roberts at the moment, also has a huge bargaining advantage.

It can be said that in addition to the little-known third heroine Lucy Liu, the other two protagonists will take away a huge cake from this project.

But even so, Columbia Pictures accepted it without hesitation, and it can even be said that it was very happy to accept. After all, with popular actresses like Drew and Cameron Diaz joining, they can gain an incomparable advantage in terms of box office appeal.

But in any case, whether a film can succeed or not depends only on two points - a good script and a suitable theme.

When Sid stepped on the red carpet of "Breaking Bad", not only the media reporters were stunned, but even the head of Columbia Pictures was shocked.

Sid has never been a person who likes to rub people on the red carpet and parties everywhere, although he will also attend some of his own important red carpets, but other than that, Sid rarely attends any similar parties in Hollywood, and he has not even stepped on the red carpet of the Golden Globes.

In this respect, Sid is not at all like a traditional Hollywood celebrity, except for the actor friends who went through the initial struggles with him, he is not even interested in meeting a few Hollywood stars.

So, although everyone still sends him some invitations on a regular basis, no one really thinks that he will show up. So, when Sid appeared at the premiere of a movie that was not his own, not his own, everyone was in an uproar.

The last time Sid did this, it was at the shabby premiere of Lindsay's Little Nizi's neodymium work "A Natural Couple".

After Sid had a brief conversation with reporters and snapped a quick photo in front of the media wall, several Colombian officials greeted him, led by a working woman who looked to be in her early thirties, with long blond-brown hair and a rather masculine suit and trousers.

"Hello, Mr. Leon. She took the initiative to warmly reach out and shake hands with Sid and said, "I'm Amy Pascal, and I'm the vice president of Columbia Pictures Studios. ”

"Hello. Sid had heard of the female head of Sony Pictures, who had caused a lot of trouble later, and he shook hands with him with a smile and didn't say anything.

Amy Pascal took the initiative and said enthusiastically, "Otherwise, I'll take you in." ”

"Yes, OK. Sid shrugged and readily agreed.

Then the two walked into the theater, and Amy Pascal introduced some information about "Breaking Bad" to Sid on the side, and many stars who came in early saw Sid walk in accompanied by a vice president of Columbia Pictures, and couldn't help but show surprised expressions.

But there are also people who take the initiative to find them, and just as Amy Pascal is saying something to Sid, a crisp voice interrupts Amy next to him: "Hey, Amy, what are you talking about?"

Sid and Amy looked back and found that they were the three protagonists of today, and the three heroines of "Breaking Bad", Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.

And the one who just interrupted Amy was Cameron Diaz, who was standing proudly in the center of the trio.

"Oh, Cameron, we're talking about you. Although the conversation was interrupted, Amy had no disgust on her face, but looked at the three Cameron girls with a smile on her face.

This water cultivation kung fu, Sid on the side couldn't help but secretly endure the handsomeness, sure enough, the characters who are mixed in Hollywood are all acting emperors, it is so wise to throw such a troublesome job to his subordinates!

Sid thought as he looked at Cameron Diaz with a faint smile: "I think this is the first time we've met face-to-face, Ms. Diaz." ”

"You call me that as if I'm old. Cameron Diaz quipped with a smile.

"Hehe, believe me, I'm just showing my love for a beautiful lady. Sid also smiled playfully.

Cameron Diaz, who is now twenty-eight years old, is an excellent age in his prime, but when facing the nineteen-year-old demon Sid, no one can help but have the illusion of being old.

"Hee-hee, I'll let you go this time. Cameron Diaz chuckled a few times, then introduced his female companion to Sid and said, "I don't think you know our two female companions yet." ”

"Of course I know Miss Barrymore, who is guarded by ET, and this Miss Lucy Liu. Sid smiled and shook hands with them one by one.

Drew Barrymore greeted Sid generously, looking at Sid with a pair of big eyes and a purring smile, but Lucy Liu was quite surprised that Sid knew him.

"Sid, didn't you bring a female companion today?" Drew Barrymore asked curiously.

"No way, it's hard for a shy boy like me who isn't good at socializing to invite girls to parties with me. Sid smiled and shrugged.

"Haha, you're a fool. "You don't know how to socialize yet, you don't watch the Oscars when we do." Hearing Sid's words, Cameron and Drew, the best friends, laughed and disagreed.

After a few people laughed and exchanged a few words, Sid was also taken to the VIP seat in the middle by Amy Pascal, and then Sid greeted the big and small stars who came to make friends while waiting for the start of the film.

It didn't take long for the premiere of "Breaking Bad" to officially begin after the host's introduction.
