Chapter 334: Miserable
The MGM bigwigs who attended the press conference teamed up to tear off the curtain behind the curtain - Daniel. Craig and Eva. Green appeared in front of the media for the first time.
Although the rumors have spread, when the mystery is really revealed, everything is still exciting enough.
"Daniel. Mr. Craig will star in the 21st Bond film, Casino Royale, and he will be the new Bond. Barbara briefly introduced Daniel's down-to-earth but not dazzling resume, and to be honest, at this time she was thinking in her heart, if Daniel. Sandler starred, and the resume she read out will be much more brilliant.
And then there's Eva. Green, a French newcomer who is not very famous.
Craig and Eva played, Daniel, Long. Meyer withdrew from the session and did not participate in the next questioning session.
Despite holding a press conference, as well as announcing at the same time Eva. Green's appearance is a matter for Daniel to decide, but he himself will avoid getting involved in specific matters, such as responding to reporters' questions about "Casino Royale".
"This is the beginning, and they have to endure a horrific challenge."
Daniel glanced back at the press conference. Meyer shrugged his shoulders from the side, "Expected, but Barbara's confidence in him is surprising, and he's a good value for it." ”
"You mean the price?"
"Isn't it worth the £1.5 million Bond, with a sequel that doesn't exceed double the salary increase?"
Brosnan initially offered £22 million before the two sides could agree on his exit, as part of MGM's determination to kick him away. Now Craig is only one-fifteenth of him, purely from the perspective of salary, this "007" is indeed very economical.
"If the film is successful, it's worth it, and if the film doesn't work, even £150,000, it's not worth it."
"It's not hard to break even. As long as everyone recognizes his 007 more, the next two sequels will be the time to make money. ”
Daniel knows to include new entrants to Lang. Including Meyer, everyone's expectations for Craig's debut are not high, and a movie, especially a famous work like "007", is not difficult to lose on the premise of investing 120 million, because the name itself still has value. Their plan was to cement Craig's Bond image – and that was built on Barbara, Wilson and Campbell. On the premise of recognizing Craig's acting skills and image-building ability, if it gets what he wants, then in the next sequel, MGM will likely make a considerable profit.
"Maybe it's like you say, maybe not."
Daniel smiled meaningfully, "Get ready for the rest of the storm." ”
……
"The new James. Bond? A short, lewd man with blonde hair"
"Did Daniel buy MGM just to destroy 007?"
"After paying billions to pay the original boss of MGM, DD Pictures may have lacked the strength to make a film like "007", the new Bond Girl. It's miserable."
"Will the new "007" series become an R-rated comedy? But even Eva. Green is inconspicuous enough, Daniel. Greg isn't comedy either. ”
……
There were no surprises, although everyone was expecting it.
The first to ignite the war was social networks, and a hot spot on the F2F website was: The number of F2F users worldwide exceeded 100 million, and at its celebration party, Mark . Vaughn officially responded to the previous revelations from the Los Angeles Times that the Emergency Management Agency had asked F2F for rescue information.
Mark. Vaughn made an additional brief statement after smashing the ice figures.
"Former Director of Emergency Response Michael. Brown did turn to F2F for help. But we have not received an official request. However, in the interest of the emergency, we have provided complete information to help the Emergency Management Agency manage the disaster response. F2F hopes that this behavior will work as it should. We also express our respect to all the public servants and volunteers who participated in the rescue. It is hoped that those injured by Hurricane Katrina will be able to return to their normal lives and work. ”
The F2F's actions in Hurricane Katrina have been praised and gained widespread popularity, and their statements have somewhat eased criticism of the authorities – only at this point, of course.
Criticism of the inadequacy of their emergency response systems and the lack of action of public officials continues.
The announcement of the starring role of "007" temporarily squeezed out the hurricane topic that had occupied a hot topic for nearly a month.
"It seems like all of a sudden the whole world is a Bond fan."
This is how Sally described the storm on social networks when she reported to Daniel.
Criticizing Craig for being too short - in fact he wasn't short at all, but he wasn't tall enough for the rest of the Bonds, and that's the problem.
There are also those who criticize him for his obscene appearance, which is far from the influence of the great Bond, and the heated remarks even say that he is an ugly golden orangutan.
The broader criticism lies in his lack of sufficient attraction - to attract women.
Ladies friends on F2F and MB, take yourself as the standard.
"Seeing Sean's Bond, it only takes me a second to get ready to get excited. When Bond turned into Brosnan, I was drenched. But now, my God, my first instinct was to call the police and tell this person to stay away from me, I don't want to see a man for a year. ”
"Daniel. Craig? Doesn't he ever look in the mirror? Didn't Michelle ever tell him that he and James. The distance between Bond is like that of Henry. Cavill and Daniel. Sandler is the same distance from each other. ”
This one apparently told the British press that Henry. Cavill is the next Daniel. Sandler was very dissatisfied.
"I suspect that Daniel was just looking for someone named Daniel like him, so the wheel turned to Craig."
Someone replied to the previous one, "I don't think it's a turntable. You know Daniel is psychic, like he was in 911, and Craig is going to surprise people. ”
In response to this reply, the original author redirected it to his homepage.
"You may be a member of the Daniel Holy Cult, but I'm not. If he is really psychic, he should know that Craig will face total opposition and resentment, and he will accept unprecedented failures and setbacks. So Craig's appearance as Bond is enough to prove that being able to predict what will happen in the future is a complete lie and a joke, and he must have bought the media. ”
Soon, this F2F update immediately became a battleground for Daniel's fans and opponents, so much so that Craig was quickly thrown aside.
This kind of controversy defused the fire for Craig, but after all, this is only an individual incident, Daniel has not many opponents, but there are not many diehards, after all, he has few negative news, even if out of rebellion against the successful, many people will not like him, but it is difficult to dislike him with resentment. So there is no balance of power on both sides of the argument.
More artillery fire and accusations, it is up to Craig to bear it himself.
……
Three days later, Daniel flew to Burbank to join the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2". Craig, who was almost killed in battle, is still being "whipped".
This time, the media will Angelina. Julie, Charlize. Theron, Jude. Lowe and his girlfriend Selena. Miller, and Jessica. Simpson was involved, and completely developed this news hotspot into a season of "TV series", ready to work with Brad. Pete, Angelina. Julie and Jennifer. Aniston's Triangle News compares the heat.
