Chapter 887: Stunning appearance
When Ivanka, who was carrying a puppet backpack, rubbed shoulders with Bond with three other beautiful girls, the theater burst into a burst of knowing laughter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Frank Lipton, who originally wanted to take advantage of this foreshadowing plot to record some feelings, couldn't help but put down his pen and smiled faintly. This should be the fourth, although Williams is a bit clever to set up such a small easter egg in every movie he directs, but I have to say, it is really interesting.
Cheriver has invested all his money in shorting the shares of Sky Arrow Airlines, and although he feels that his actions may have been exposed, the whole plan cannot be stopped, and he can only send people to hunt down Bond at the same time.
It's just that the villain in charge of the pursuit was easily solved by Bond, and through a string of phone numbers left by Alex, Bond used Mi6's intelligence network to track it all the way, and soon found the bomber who was about to launch an attack at Miami Airport.
Miami International Airport, with the rapid flashing of shots and the tense rhythm of the soundtrack, the mood of the audience was also raised, although they knew in their hearts that Bond was destined to stop the bomber's attack, but when Bond jumped from the tanker truck and ran all the way on the airport runway, many people still couldn't help but have a strong worry.
From Bond stepping into Miami International Airport, jumping on a tanker truck to fight a bomber, to a police officer being swept off the screen by a swooping airliner engine, this few minutes of episode, whether it's scene scheduling, camera editing or background soundtrack, gives people a sense of amazement that is enough to write in a textbook.
Frank Lipton, a film critic for The Times, felt his heart beat faster with this episode, and when the bomber detonated the miniature bomb that Bond had hung on his body, there was a loud bang in the stereo, and Frank Lipton even had a feeling of joy that he had personally smashed the bomber's plot, and he couldn't help but applaud, and at the same time, the whole concert hall also remembered the applause.
In the front row of the concert hall, listening to the warm applause around him, Eric was also relieved.
The film's producer, Barbara Brookley, breathed a deep sigh of relief, "007: Casino Royale" may be just a not-so-conspicuous film in Eric's directing career, but this series is all the glory of the Brockley family. "007: Casino Royale" is the first 007 film produced entirely by her and her brother after the death of her father Albert Blockley. Due to the repeated failures of Hollywood's summer blockbusters this year, Barbara Brockley was also worried that the film would repeat the mistakes of the past, so that she would have to live up to her father's instructions. Now, only a third of the way through the film, the audience has heard spontaneous applause, so the film can't fail too much in any way.
The attack on Sky Arrow failed and Cheriver lost $100 million. In order to recover the losses, Cheriver planned to hold a winner-takes-all gamble at the Royal Casino of Montenegro, and as a terrorist named in the intelligence agencies of various countries, Cherev's gamble attracted the attention of many parties.
Mrs. M introduces Mi6's information about the Ghost Party to Bond, and plans to have Bond rush to Montenegro to capture Cherevor after winning the gamble. The plot finally has a crossover plot in the Secret Service Cinematic Universe here, and the information introduced to Bond by Mrs. M happens to be intercepted by Ethan Hunter, the actor of the "Mission Impossible" series, in "Mission Impossible 2" and shared with other allied intelligence agencies. At the beginning, this plot also deliberately appeared in the easter egg of "Mission Impossible 2".
After half a year of waiting, I finally saw the plot in the Easter egg, and fans of the MGM Agent Cinematic Universe on the scene began to look forward to the new easter egg at the end of this film after getting an inexplicable satisfaction.
For this gamble, MI6 applied to the Ministry of Finance for a special amount of money, for which the Ministry of Finance sent a clerk to assist Bond in carrying out the mission throughout the process, and also to ensure the safety of the funds.
The plot transitions to an ordinary apartment in London's West End, in a room full of elaborate electronic instruments, a petite girl with a geeky style is engrossed in soldering a circuit board, and the girl is startled by a sudden knock on the door, and the circuit board in her hand is also emitting a puff of green smoke due to a short circuit.
Outside the door, the well-dressed Visper Lynn dragged a suitcase, saw his sister open the door with gray stains on her face, looked at it helplessly, took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully on her sister's face a few times, and said helplessly and lovingly: "Next time I must talk to the so-called head of the Charlie Townsend Foundation, I always feel that they have some bad intentions, how could someone give a sixteen-year-old girl a scholarship of 10,000 pounds a year, and those inexplicable training." ā
Angela Linder, like all children who resist rigid parenthood, retorted, "Hey, sister, that's because I'm a genius." ā
"Oh, well, my little genius," Visper Lynn said, smiling, putting away her handkerchief and kissing her sister on the cheek, "I'm going on a business trip soon, and it might take a week, so take care of yourself in that time." ā
Angela Linde's face flashed with joy, but she immediately relented and replied obediently: "Of course, sister, I will take care of myself." ā
Visper Linde shrewdly pinched the girl's cheek and said, "Don't be complacent, I asked Aunt Carol, and she will help me take care of you." ā
Angela Linde prayed reluctantly, as if she had thought of something terrible, "Sister, I am your own sister." ā
"Of course, that's why I want to prevent you, the little angel, from really flying into the sky. ā
In the concert hall, listening to the interesting conversation between the Linde sisters, the audience had a smile on their faces. The 007 series has always lacked humor. The plot in front of me should be regarded as a small breakthrough in the 007 series, and at the same time, in just two minutes of footage, Angela Linder's eccentric elf and Vesper Linder's shrewdness and ability have left a clear impression on the audience, and the short interaction between the sisters has also paved the way for the follow-up plot in advance.
Although Christina Aguilera performed well in just a few shots, critics focused more on Cate Blanchett's Bond Girl.
The new Bond Girl from Australia has been strongly controversial since the role was decided, ordinary fans felt that she was not beautiful enough to meet the usual standards of Bond Girls, and the circle also felt that Eric Williams suddenly used such a newcomer with only a few TV series acting experience It was too hasty.
However, in a few short shots, Vesper Linder, who is dressed in a black professional suit, does not fall behind in front of Angela Linder, who can attract the attention of the audience according to the character setting.
Immediately afterwards, Vesper Lind's sparkling conversation with Bond on the train to Montenegro surprised film critics. They can feel that in this performance, Pierce Brosnan is simply suppressed and completely powerless, and in order to maintain the balance between the two characters, the director obviously pays more attention to Pierce Brosnan, which makes people faintly look forward to Cate Blanchett's shot.
As for the general audience, after a few scenes, they have basically unconsciously forgotten their dissatisfaction with Cate Blanchett getting this role, and most people think that the Australian actress plays Vesper Lind is simply cool.
In the casino scene, Eric cuts out some of the unnecessary details in the original to make the plot more compact, and adds a second interlude to the plot in the Secret Service Cinematic Universe, where an assistant of Ethan Hunter in "Mission Impossible" is sent to the gamble and lends his gambling money to Bond at a critical moment, helping him win the final victory. At the same time, at the end of this episode, the film also adds a plot where Cheriff sends someone to kidnap Angela to threaten Vesper.
In the whole gambling game, from the initial-for-tat confrontation to the tacit cooperation at the critical moment of the gambling game, feelings gradually developed between Bond and Westper, and after Westper assisted Bond in killing, the scene of hugging each other in the bathroom made the hazy feelings between the two officially sublimated.
At the end of the game, Cherevor jumped over the wall, grabbed Bond and tortured him in an attempt to regain the $100 million in cash.
In a hazy figure in front of him, Bond passed out and woke up again, the hazy figure became clear, and Vesper stayed by his side, telling him that Cherevor was dead and that the whole thing was over.
Bond doesn't delve into what happened before he fell unconscious, the two officially fall in love, and in order to stay with Vesper, Bond begins to prepare a resignation letter to Mrs. M.
However, it is clear that everything is not over, and Cheryvor's embezzlement of funds is liquidated after being discovered by the Phantoms. However, Vesper's sister fell into the hands of the Spectres, and in order to rescue Bond and his sister, Vesper made a deal with the Spectres to help them retrieve the $100 million from Bond.
It's just that when Vesper transferred $100 million to the Spectre account, he found that he had been deceived, and at the same time, Bond, who followed after discovering Vesper's anomaly, thought he had discovered everything.
Vesperson, who betrayed his lover and failed to save his sister, chose to commit suicide in an underwater cage, but when he said goodbye, he still stuffed the necklace with a photo of himself and his sister into Bond's hand with a glimmer of hope.
"Why do I need time, the work is over, the slut is dead. ā
On a cruise ship off the coast of Venice, a disheartened Bond replied like a wounded lone wolf, fiddling with the center-shaped necklace in his hand with an indifferent expression, in the face of Mrs. M's words of concern on the phone.
At this moment, although Bond abandoned the expectation of returning to ordinary life and once again incarnated as the ruthless super agent at the beginning, everyone felt that Bond at this moment was a real ordinary person, a mortal.
On screen, Mrs. M explains everything to Bond, who opens the heart-shaped pendant and finds a picture of the smiling sisters Vesper and Angela, and sets out on a journey to rescue Angela.
The final battle is about to begin, and in the concert hall, Frank Lipton feels that the female fan behind him who had just sobbed because of the farewell scene between Bond and Westper gradually stopped choking, but his heart was still recalling every scene of Cate Blanchett's appearance in the middle hour, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to the final battle with Bond after the angel trio appeared.
Due to the attention to this movie, Frank Lipton has collected some information about Cate Blanchett before, but because she is only an Australian newcomer who has just broken into Hollywood, she can find very little information.
Therefore, after watching Cate Blanchett's performance, Frank Lipton was even more shocked. From the beginning of her appearance, in just a few shots, the actress perfectly supported Vesper Linder's thoughts, and in every subsequent appearance, every shot, the heroine gave people a perfect feeling of 'I am Vesper Linder', this kind of talent for the integration of people and dramas has definitely reached the Oscar level, and even, she is better than many Oscar actresses who have won the Little Golden Man.
Suddenly, another name popped into Frank Lipton's mind, Merrill Streep. Perhaps, the actress who debuted with a Hollywood commercial blockbuster will become the second Meryl Streep.
Thinking of this, Frank Lipton suddenly felt a little regretful. He knew that according to Hollywood rules, playing a Bond girl in a completely commercial blockbuster like 007 and receiving such intense attention, the development path of this amazingly talented actress in the future may be more like Nicole Kidman.
It's a waste.
Eric Williams has created so many commercial film actresses, there is no need to 'destroy' another literary and artistic celebrity.
After thinking about it for a while, Frank Lipton thought of the film that a friend of his own, Alison Owen, was preparing, although it was a small budget, but it was an absolute heroine movie. Perhaps, I can introduce the other party at the next party. Although originally from Australia, Cate Blanchett's London accent in the film is perfect enough to control that role.
Knowing that this was a rare opportunity, Frank Lipton quietly left his seat and went outside the theater to make a call. (To be continued.) )
