649 Beginning to show its might
After his unexpected debut, Lance only used two sentences, and even skipped the introduction to each other, let alone greetings, and directly took the initiative in his hands and made a preemptive strike. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"We need to break the stereotype of James Bond, which is very different from any previous 007." Lance said calmly, "Let 007 return to the identity of a real 'spy', tough, bloody, ruthless, agile, cunning, just like the 'spy' Jason Bourne, but more elegant, noble, and gentle." And, of course, more human. β
"So, you're basically asking us to wipe out all the bright spots on James Bond and then make him start rolling in the dirt like an American." Barbara's words were sharp and sharp, and she stabbed straight at her, without even caring about the presence of Michael, the American who was the CEO of Sony Pictures. "This ** is not the same**." James Bond, Jason Bourne, both names have a capital "j-b" at the beginning of the letter.
Lance did not seem to be flustered, after the previous Daniel Craig succeeded 007, the accusations faced were overwhelming, far more powerful than Barbara, "The world's largest box office market is precisely the United States." "Without any concessions, he went straight back, and when he became a/son and set up an archway, how could there be such a simple thing in the world," More importantly, it is now the 21st century, and the development of movies has gone through a hundred years, do you think the audience is still those fools? Believing that a spy can rely on his charm to impress his opponents? Believe that a spy has not had a wrinkle in his suit after a fight? Believe that a spy can still kill people with grace and without blood? β
Lance's smile had a hint of sarcasm in it, inexplicably sharp. Wilson and Anthony exchanged glances, then both cast their gazes at Barbaraβnot in agreement with Lance's remarks, but curious about Barbara's reaction, with a clear hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.
Barbara's eyes flashed slightly, as if she was thinking about how to refute, but she didn't find a good foothold for a while, so she chose to shut up. Impulsive remarks often make you lose grace and etiquette, she is not one of those easy little girls to coax, rather than confronting each other, it is better to let Lance show all the hole cards, and then look for loopholes to refute.
Lance deliberately gave Barbara time to respond, but she didn't speak, so Lance continued, "Of course, the reason why a movie is a movie is because it is based on reality but higher than reality. Therefore, the audience is still willing to believe that a spy can play the world, and is willing to believe that a spy can perfectly combine elegance and toughness, and is more willing to believe that a spy can save the world. β
"So, it's all the same, but it's really different**, but they're all spies." Lance fired back with the same words, which made Barbara laugh instead of anger, and a smile was drawn into the corners of her mouth, "Or rather, Agent." β
As Barbara said, Jason Byrne has the imprint of the United States, born from the grassroots, iron-blooded and ruthless, low-key and calm, crawling in the dust; James Bond, on the other hand, follows the British tradition, elegant and calm, likes Martinis, drives famous cars, hugs left and right, and completes tasks while talking and laughing. These are two very different people, but their essence is the same.
Because of Lance's words, the three of Barbara briefly exchanged glances.
In fact, the 007 series has always sought change, and Roger Moore added more funny elements, which caused many viewers to be dissatisfied, thinking that such a Bond was completely unseemly, but the box office results proved the correctness of this change; Timothy is more vicissitudes, and his background in Shakespeare's stage plays injects more humanity into Bond, which adds depth and less entertainment to the work; Pierce is more gentle, giving a new interpretation of the gentlemanly demeanor of the iron man's tenderness.
It's just that this time Lance's request really broke the British insistence all along: to let James Bond's elegance flaw, maybe even ...... Lose that elegance.
But it must be admitted that from the beginning to the present, Lance has a clear idea, a clear organization, and most importantly, a grasp of the core of the problem, and the persuasiveness is very strong.
"Also, maybe we can not make James Bond a specific symbol, but let him give more ...... Human characteristics. Lance's words made Michael, who was sitting next to him, chuckle, and even Anthony was full of smiles, and Wilson said angrily, "So, the previous 007 was not a human anymore?" β
Lance actually nodded seriously, "Yes, they're not, they're just 007, not James Bond." "As we all know, 007 is a code name in the Intelligence Agency, and if James Bond dies, then there will be a new spy to fill the vacancy of 007.
"They don't have a date of birth, they don't have family or friends, they don't even have memories of the past. They're just 007. Lance's words made everyone fall into deep thought, especially Paul, because he was a screenwriter, and countless thoughts suddenly stirred through his mind, "So, why can't we let the audience see the real James Bond?" β
This is Lance's first foreshadowing, with a trilogy or five-part chapter as a chapter, showing a certain characteristic of the 007 played by Daniel Craig, laying the foundation for a long-term cooperation in the future.
Wilson's brow furrowed slightly, "Explain." The simple words are full of doubts, and it can be seen that they have never made such an attempt in previous commercial films.
"What I mean is simple, it doesn't need to be complicated, it just needs to show a certain side of Bond, for example, why he became a spy; Or rather, the biggest fear in his heart. That alone is enough, after all, James Bond is not Martin Luther King. Lance's words made Anthony not hold back, laughed, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, "I like this kid." β
Lance smiled and nodded at Anthony, but Barbara's voice rang out next to him, interrupting the rhythm, "Are we going to choose a Timothy Dalton again?" β
Timothy is the most profound acting skill among the previous 007s, and he is more rigid than Sean, completely from an orthodox college education, so each character will inject his own understanding and depth, which also makes Timothy's version of 007 less entertaining than Sean.
"Oh, no." Lance shook his head repeatedly, "Daniel Day-Lewis will make the movie gloomy and depressing, and make people want to kill themselves after watching it." This time, even Wilson couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's start with the actors, we start with the plot. For example, while arranging opponents, it can be an old acquaintance who crawls out of the past, and in him a part of James Bond's past can be found as if it were fragments; Or Mrs. M, who also knows about Bond's past, like a puzzle. Before Lance could finish speaking, Anthony took over with a raised voice, "Show a certain part of Bond's humanity!" Lance nodded repeatedly, "Yes, only one part is needed, and that's enough." Make the audience aware that James Bond, he is a human being, not a symbol. β
This part of the content is connected to the beginning of the paragraph, and really builds the creative thread of the 007 project, which is also the core content of the Reims trilogy plan.
"At the same time, we can dig more into the villains. You know, adding a bunch of villains who don't have any challenge will only make the story lengthy and boring, but setting up an equal opponent is like solving a puzzle, a real challenge, and that's what makes the high/climactic exciting. Lance continued, "In the villain, we can increase the discussion of human nature, such as the confrontation between evil and justice, such as the evil created under the environment, which not only increases the difficulty of James Bond's challenge, but also deepens the connotation of the film, so that the audience can savor it after feeling the bombardment, rather than completely forgetting." It's like a tampon thrown in the trash. β
"Flutter", Anthony really didn't hold back, looking at Barbara, whose expression was loose for the first time, he was even more happy.
Barbara glanced at Anthony speechlessly, and instead of paying attention to him, she raised her head and looked Lance in the eye for the first time, "This dear...... Game people, we make money-making films, not works that discuss philosophy. I think you're on the wrong track. β
In the face of Barbara's merciless attack, the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth suddenly outlined, and the light that bloomed at that moment made people unable to take their eyes off it at all, even Barbara, her eyes couldn't help but start to deepen, and she suddenly began to understand Anthony's previous warning.
The bright eyes looked over without any timidity or flinching, and Barbara looked playfully at the banter and teasing in the blue eye, "I thought there was more to the British than that. The deep voice said this elegantly and beautifully, but Barbara was stunned, and then she reacted - her initial ridicule about Jason Byrne was now back to herself.
This guy is really interesting.
A smile tugged at the corners of Barbara's lips as she looked at Lance with interest, "So, how did you convince us of your plan and then take such a big risk, just for a potential ...... Possible? After a great circle, he returned to the starting point, as if Frans's tirade had never happened. This is the power of the real superior, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, judging life and death in an instant, without any reason at all. Perhaps, a reason is needed, "I don't believe in you" or, "I don't like you".
Lance's smile was still very calm, and even brighter, "Because this is my plan." (To be continued.) )
