Listening to Downing's unreasonable request, Ian Fleming opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "Ah?!! Mr. Downing, you're not kidding, how can you write a book with such standards? ”

Tang Ning said in his heart, don't the writers of later generations still write books and open harems under such standards, and even a group of wizards who write hand-in-hand and transformers have appeared, but they are just reviewed without paying attention, but on the surface, they still laughed and said: "Mr. Fleming, don't mind, I was just joking with you just now, I don't have any scruples in this regard, you can write casually, as long as you remember to write me well." ”

Fleming also laughed and said, "Don't worry, if you don't write it so bravely, even readers won't accept it." ”

After negotiating Ian Fleming's request here, Downing thought that he could let go of the movie by himself, but he didn't expect Jimmy to have another situation here.

On this day, as soon as Downing returned to Los Angeles, Jimmy came up and said with a depressed face: "Tony, I have a problem that I am very troubled with, you can help me come up with an idea." ”

While Tang Ning was busy with the things in hand, he replied casually: "Well, you can say it, but I guess it must be a problem related to women, have you met a girl who is more beautiful than that Swiss beauty again?" ”

Jimmy was surprised and said, "Eh, Tony, how do you know it's a problem related to the heroine?" ”

Tang Ning laughed and said, "With your title of the wolf of Hollywood, what other problems can there be besides women." ”

Jimmy said with some dissatisfaction: "Tony, can you stop looking at people with old eyes, this time the problem really didn't appear to me." This time, a big star heard that we were going to shoot a spy film, so she took the initiative to apply to play the heroine, and to be honest, she did meet the requirements of the heroine, hot and sexy, daring to take off and dare to show. The only problem is that I'm a little older. ”

Hearing this answer, Tang Ning raised his head with some curiosity and asked, "This is still a little interesting, who is this heroine who volunteered?" ”

Jimmy replied word for word: "Josephine Baker!" ”

Hearing this name, Tang Ning couldn't help but gasp, speaking of this black beauty is really like what Jimmy said. Except for being a little older, other places are very suitable for the heroine, and her fame and influence are big enough to help the publicity and promotion of the film, although 007 is a classic series that everyone knows in later generations, but now this is the first one, and it is absolutely impossible not to advertise.

Josephine. Baker, born in St. Louis, USA, is a black dancer and singer in the United States. With its sexy and bold dancing and soft singing, it has become popular all over France. She is also the world's first 'black supergirl'.

Initially in Hollywood, Baker was unpopular, so she traveled from New York to France in 1925 to develop an acting career. Although the Americans were not optimistic about her, in France, Josephine quickly became popular and was courteous like an empress. Although at the time, Josephine's sexy dancing and revealing costumes were met with much criticism. But countless artists, writers, and intellectuals around the world have defended her. Writer Ernest Hemingway said, "She was, is, and will be the most beautiful woman in the world," while the painter Picasso was fascinated by her stunning beauty and eyes. French women flock to hair salons to ask for the same hairstyle as her. And the nightclubs where she performs are often full. In 1927, just two years after arriving in Paris, she became one of the most expensive and well-known stars in the world.

With her bold and revealing style of dressing, not to mention in that era, even if it is thrown to the present, few people dare to wear it. So she is really suitable for playing the Bond girl, but Tang Ning is still a little puzzled: "Why did she suddenly think of grabbing this role?" ”

Jimmy explained: "Haven't you read the recent declassified information, she actually worked as a secret agent and gathered intelligence during World War II, so she thinks she is the best actor for the role, and she is also interested in acting out her own personal experiences. ”

So to speak. Tang Ning remembered that there was indeed such a thing. She once wrote in her autobiography that Josephine was full of gratitude to France, a second home that had given her reputation. Therefore, when the war in Europe spread to France, she swore allegiance to France. But Josephine never dreamed that in 1939, the French counterintelligence service would find her and ask her to be recruited as a secret intelligence agent. The head of the French intelligence service, who was in charge of recruiting Josephine at the time, was Gácquis. Abtai recalled: "Recruiting Josephine as an agent was a deliberate decision. We need someone who can travel around without attracting attention, and Josephine is the perfect fit. Above all, and she loves France, more like a French than a Frenchman.

During World War II, Josephine toured throughout Europe and the Middle East. On the surface, her job was to work in the army to earn money, but every time she traveled, she had another secret mission -- to collect intelligence for the British and French intelligence services. Because of her close ties with German diplomats before the war, she often appeared in embassies, balls, nightclubs, and high-ranking officials in her fancy evening dress, flirting with anyone she thought was useful, and thus gathering a wealth of valuable information. Interestingly, during the long "side by side", Josephine and his boss, the French intelligence chief Abtey, turned out to be a pair of "secret lovers". Abtai recalled that she was well aware of the great danger she faced. Josephine often stuffed photographs of German fortresses into **, and the sheet music she carried with her was filled with information on Axis troop movements in cipher potions. "Sometimes, she even writes the information she hears densely on her two arms. I told her it was very dangerous. But she laughed and said, 'Oh! No one would have thought I was a spy.

For this reason, Downing generally understood the reason why Josephine Baker wanted to act in this movie, but he resolutely refused this request, so he said: "This matter must not be promised to her, although her fame and strength are enough, but she is too old, if I remember correctly, she is over fifty, right?" I know she's well-maintained, but this is our first film series, and we can't settle for it. (To be continued......)
