Wonderful story, tense and exciting plot, beautiful and good-looking fights - the more than 90-minute "Breaking Bad" can be said to be a good answer to an action spy film.

Although the story of a spy hero saving the world is not new, it does have a different chemical reaction when paired with three beautiful beauties who pay equal attention to wisdom and beauty. And after "The Matrix" and "Rush Hour", the current booming Chinese kung fu craze is also vividly reflected in the three heroines.

Although some critics complained that this film is more like a music MTV than a movie, and the fights and action scenes are more like cutscenes to show the beautiful bodies of the three heroines.

But in any case, the success of "Breaking Baby" is undoubted.

"Well, you ask me what I think of the movie?" Sid, who was about to leave after the premiere, was stopped by an enthusiastic reporter who asked him how he felt about watching the movie.

Sid touched his chin, thought about it for a while, and said with a smile, "I said before that there are only two kinds of movies, interesting and boring. "Breaking Bad" is definitely a very interesting movie. ”

Although there was a suspicion of popularity, Sid's praise soon appeared on the channels of major TV networks along with the TV news, and as a start, the successive rave reviews of "Breaking Baby" also circulated.

"Orlando Weekly" Ain Gray commented that "Breaking Bad" is a ridiculous movie, but through unremitting efforts, it compensates for the absurdity with high quality.

Todd McCarthy of Variety, the industry's most professional weekly magazine, commented that this entertainment assortment has a TV series-style staple, a side dish made by Hong Kong action stars, and has won box office revenue for James Bond-style blockbusters.

And "Salon" Stephanie Zacharek wrote in the press that as the director of the film, McKee is more than lively, but he does not do enough to maintain the overall sense of the story and do it cleanly.

Even some relatively bad reviews have inherited the characteristics of Hollywood film critics who turn around and curse commercial films.

For example, "The Hollywood Reporter" DeKirk Honnicart said that the three stars' natural sense of humor brings the absurd characters to life, finally covering up the lame jokes and worse storylines.

However, for Sony Columbia, "Breaking Bad" is definitely its first commercial success in 5 years!

The box office on Friday, November 3, the premiere day, was as high as $13 million, and the box office on Saturday of the next day rose sharply to $16 million, and the box office performance of the first weekend broke $40 million to the top of the North American box office charts.

And the following week, "Breaking Bad" also topped the box office with $24 million, and set a new North American record of $75.4 million in 10 days.

This can't help but make Columbia Pictures raise their eyebrows rarely, and the devil knows when the last time Columbia Pictures' film topped the North American box office.

The outstanding performance of "Breaking Bad" not only raised the status of Amy Pascal, who led the project, in the company, but even Howard Stringer, chairman of Sony North America, was very excited.

And the popularity of the three heroines, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, has certainly soared, and their pockets have swelled even more. Or rather, the first two heroines with more gambling capital - Cameron and Drew.

Although the high salaries of these two big-name heroines have caused the cost of the film to soar, and even the box office share and channel dividends have been taken up by Cameron and Drew, but the outstanding results of this film still made Columbia Pictures make a lot of money in addition to the dividends.

This also started Sony Columbia Pictures, relying on the production style of big stars and big productions, and for a long time after that, Sony frequently offered sky-high salaries, which actually raised Hollywood's star salaries in disguise.

Just after Sony Pictures finally started to make some losses, Sid finally got back into the official work - the post-production of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

The post-production of a major A-grade production like "Harry Potter" is also far more complex than the average small and medium-sized project, starting with the simplest basic film editing, to the tedious work of color grading and mixing, to the production of special effects shots and musical sound effects.

Although Sid was very prescient to move the entire editing crew to the studio as early as the filming in London. But it was just a rough cut of the sample after all, after returning to Los Angeles. Sid and the others immediately moved in, and the two adjacent office buildings that had already been rented at Universal Studios had already been rented.

Sid and others edited the film on the second floor of Block A, and at the same time, the color grading team on the first floor was also ready to go to the editing team to complete the clip footage for color grading, while Block B was a special mixing team.

Because Harry Potter was the first commercial film in the world to be shot entirely on high-definition digital cameras (as Star Wars Prequel 2 is still being filmed in the thick of what's going on), even the team at Fire Lion weren't familiar with the key to production.

On the one hand, Sid led the editing team to quickly edit the fine film, because whether it was the color grading, sound mixing, or special effects shots that were outsourced, they all needed to be based on the edited film.

So in order to save time to the greatest extent, Sid directly moved his home to these two studios, and the so-called moving refers to - "a sleeping bag"!

Hehe, yes.

Who can believe that the youngest billionaire in North America lives directly in a post-production studio in order to make a new film.

How do you say that?

The most terrible thing in this world is that people who are richer and more talented than you work harder than you!

And Sid's state of workaholic, in the eyes of Henry, Shirley and others who came to visit the class, this is no longer called hard work, it should be called hard work, right!

"Well, the color contrast here could be a little bit stronger. Sid sat behind the palette and said to the colorist as he watched the picture on the big screen.

After spending more than two weeks, Sid and the editing crew were able to edit the 160-minute film faster than ever before.

Because Sid made it clear in the initial negotiations with Sony that the production rights of the "Harry Potter" series belonged to the Fire Lion, Sony did not send anyone to "harass" during this period.

Immediately after that, the edited film was sent to the mix, sound, and color grading teams at the same time. Because of the peculiarity of Harry Potter being shot with a high-definition digital camera, it needs more attention in terms of color grading.
