"I think it's the audience that has the most say in this issue, and I think the previous Bond actors have been very good, especially Mr. Sean Connery, who has always been my idol." When it comes to Sean Connery, people immediately think of the dashing and shrewd British spy James Bond, who created the immortal "Bond" era.
Bond, played by Sean Connery, knows how to use his surroundings to stand out from the encirclement, most not. His performances retain the old-school English gentleman's demeanor, with an elegant verve in his gestures. In the face of enemy conspiracies, he can always see the enemy's tricks and defeat the opponent's army. These characteristics make Sean Connery's version of Bond recognized as the closest thing to the character in the original book in the history of cinema.
Although Nicholas has already worked with Sean Connery in the film "Death Island", he is now moving Sean Connery out, apparently to divert the attention of media reporters. Fortunately, the current reporter did not dwell too much on this issue, and soon the topic of the question was shifted to other people.
"Is there any special criterion for Mr. Cameron's choice of Bond Girls for the film? The microphone spun around in the hands of several creators, and finally returned to the hands of director James Cameron.
"Because the background of the plot is in Xiangjiang. So we selectively found two actresses from China, Fu Lu and Bend, Miss Lin should not need me to introduce too much, and Miss Gong Li from Chinese mainland is also a face that often appears at international film awards. And Miss Angelina, I believe everyone has fully appreciated her style in the film "The Matrix". In this film, she will also have a wonderful performance. This time, James Cameron once again showed his "national" vision when selecting actors: Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage, popular beauty Angelina and Jolie, bent beauty host Lin Zhiling and Chinese actress Gong Li, such a combination is rare in Hollywood commercial films.
"The development of film is in line with the development of the entire era. At present, the trend of global integration is becoming more and more obvious, and film cooperation across regional and national boundaries is bound to become a trend. In the new century, our Bond also needs a new mission. What this film wants to show is a collision and communication between different cultures, and James Cameron introduced several Bond girls, but also explained the basic value orientation of the film from the perspective of film development. His speech naturally drew the attention of the reporters on the scene to several "bond girls" present.
"What does Miss Angelina think of Bond Girl's new role?" Although Angelina and Gong Li sat side by side, foreign media reporters still habitually asked questions of Hollywood actors they were more familiar with first.
"I'm playing an agent from the United States in the film, and this character is very similar to the character I played in The Matrix. I love this type of character. I think it has a lot to do with my own personality. I don't think the image of an actress on the screen should be just those who are weak and need men to protect them! Angelina and Julie's answers fully demonstrated her independent personality.
"Miss Gong Li is probably working with a Hollywood director for the first time, and Mr. James Cameron is the most prominent commercial director in Hollywood. In China, you often cooperate with director Zhang Yi, who is known for his literary films, what do you think is the difference between these two directors in terms of directing style and feelings for you? "Western media reporters are busy asking questions about actors from Hollywood, and Xiangjiang's media reporters are naturally biased towards their own side.
"In the Western crew, I felt that the fast-paced shooting work was definitely a little uncomfortable at first, but both the director and the rest of the crew understood my situation and helped me a lot. During the shooting, director James Cameron is a very strict person, and he is always able to clearly convey his thoughts to everyone. Then you have to do what he says. Many of the staff members told me secretly. Director James Cameron at work was horrible, but luckily I didn't feel it during the shoot! ”
James Cameron doesn't have a good reputation in this regard, but his fame is too great, even if people keep standing up and criticizing him, he still does his own thing. Perhaps it is too demanding on the movie, James Cameron always wants to show his movies to be perfect, which makes him earn the title of demanding and domineering "tyrant" on the set, and even the actor Leonado and DiCaprio, who filmed "Titanic" back then, have repeatedly claimed that he is about to be unbearable: "He is simply a devil, for a shot that may fail the censorship." We're going to be in the sea all day. ”
However, there are also actors who have worked with Cameron who praise his pursuit of perfection. Words like, "no", "impossible", "can't do", such words are all excuses for Cameron. So many years of experience in the industry and doubts from the outside world are the foundation of his current film empire.
And on the other hand, James Cameron is harsh on others when he is working, and he is not relaxed at all, this attitude towards others and himself equally, said actor Bill Paxton, who has been friends with Cameron for many years. Veteran Hollywood actress Sigoney Weaver said of Cameron: "When making films, he really wanted to risk our lives and limbs, but he didn't mind risking his own. ”
There are also cast members who fell in love with Cameron's talent and followed him for many years and became his regular partners.
They even dared to print the words on their T-shirts: "You can't scare me, because I'm working for Cameron." Gong Li said this, although there is also a taste of compliments on James and Cameron, but the most important thing is that Lin Mu has been staying in the crew during the filming of the film "Thorn", which makes Cameron's bad temper somewhat restrained.
"On the episode of earnestness and the pursuit of perfection. Director Zhang Yi is somewhat similar to Mr. Cameron. Of course, there is still a big difference between literary films and commercial films, and there are also differences in cultural backgrounds, so the two will definitely be different in terms of directing style. ”
Beauty is a basic theme of Zhang Yi's films. This is something that anyone familiar with his films feels. His quest for perfection is unique in contemporary cinematic art. The music of his films sounds intriguing. Especially because of the unique folk atmosphere of his films, anyone, even those without any musical cultivation, will be deeply moved by the charm of his music.
Zhang Yimou's innovation and personal understanding of the film are more in pursuit of the color contrast of the picture to pursue the sublimation of the beauty of the picture. In the film "Red Sorghum", the contrast between Jiang Wen's dark skin and the yellow straw and sorghum is very beautiful, after all, he was born in photography. And Zhan, who was deeply influenced by Lucas's "Star Wars", surnamed Scameron is a special effects technician and is known for being good at creating imposing shots, so his films are mostly magnificent, pursuing the realism of special effects and powerful visual impact.
"But I'm grateful to both of them. Because of starring in the movie directed by Zhang Yi, I was able to get the opportunity to sit at the front desk today. And starring in this film, director James Cameron taught me a lot of new things. It can be said that director Zhang Yi opened the door to film for me, and director James Cameron gave me a better understanding of film." Although the relationship with Zhang Yi has come to an end, when it comes to the old man, Gong Li does not have too much resentment in his heart.
At the new film press conference, everyone talked about some trivial feelings about shooting, and the questions about the plot were all simple brushstrokes, saying that it was the new film press conference, but the outside world still didn't know anything about the details of the film. The real suspense can only be revealed after the film is released.
Three days later, the film was released simultaneously in many countries around the world, and the premiere box office was almost full. What this film left with all viewers was a complete shock and absolute subversion. James Cameron and all the main creators worked together to make up a true lie to people and keep everyone in the dark. Even in the pre-means of the film, Nicolas Cage is still the protagonist in the eyes of the audience. But in the second part of the plot, people gradually saw some clues, and in the end, the last duel between Lin Mu and Nicolas Cage in the underground parking lot revealed the final surprise.
The intense plot is intertwined, but none of these are the most enjoyable. 10 minutes before the end of the film, all the audience sitting in the cinema were stunned by the unprecedented shocking collision, especially the audience watching the movie in the Sibi Cinema, the excellent sound equipment and the three-dimensional painting full of texture, in the film The moment when the passenger plane crashed into the building, the immersive sense of oppression even made many viewers' palms sweat. Even screaming!
The 3D real audio-visual experience really brings the audience into the plot. The civil airliner suffered from the madness of the heat-terrorists and crashed into the building helplessly. With technical support from the National Physical Laboratory. The explosion caused by the airliner hitting the building was highly realistic, and this is the result of several simulation experiments conducted by relevant experts. The professor in charge of the experiment even claimed that if such an impact event occurred in reality, as long as the impact path remained unchanged, the actual destructive effect would be consistent with the scene shown in the film reaching more than 90.
In other words, if such an impact occurs in reality, then the scene that people see is basically the same as the picture presented in the film. This kind of scientific logic is rigorous, the picture is delicate and realistic, and the three-dimensional visual effects of the four or four influences, this scene has indeed successfully left an indelible shocking memory for all the audience.
In terms of visual effects and special effects, this scene completely surpassed the "Titanic" of that year, and became the most classic and successful disaster scene in the new history of Hollywood!
Just as shocking as this ending is the box office, which broke the world premiere box office record after its release, and a week later took the top spot in the box office charts in all regions by an absolute margin, only in North America. The box office exceeded $200 million in a single week, and the upward momentum is still strong. Among them, the performance of the theater is unusually eye-catching, and many fans watch this movie in an ordinary movie theater and then go into the baking theater to further enjoy the visual shock brought by the Cameron blockbuster.
During this time, people are not only talking about the film's excellent special effects and record-breaking box office, but also the absolutely subversive plot that has also made many discerning audiences too addicted. The most hotly discussed is of course the new version of James Dude played by Lin Mu, the image of the famous British agent is played by a Chinese, which is extremely controversial in itself, but this meeting people naturally accepted Lin Mu's performance.
Lin Mu's performance in the movie is really in place, from the beginning he appeared as a negative character, but the audience always feels that there is a taste of both good and evil in this character, and Lin Mu's performance takes this vague and hazy feeling to the extreme. Although he played the "bad guy." Small, but Lin Mu put such a "bad guy" in taste. and several Bond girls are wits and courage, and the ambiguous relationship is entangled. It has become the essence of the whole play. Even the British, who have always been old-fashioned, have to admit that Lin Mu has injected a new feeling into the classic role of James and Bond.
Of course, the audience's recognition is not only Lin Mu's own performance, but also his good reputation in the Western film world. This also shows James Cameron's vision and uniqueness, Lin Mu can be regarded as the most successful Chinese in Hollywood, and he does have a unique advantage in terms of influence, if other Chinese actors are used, I am afraid it will take a lot of work to make the audience accept this role so smoothly.
In particular, this film proposes that four is just an agent codename, which can be said to be a new development of heart movies. In the past, the distillation only fixed a screen image, which limited the further development of the film. Especially in the 21st century, multicultural themes have become a development trend in filmmaking. Blur the four identities. No longer a specific person. And becoming an agent code name for a certain mission, this provides more possibilities for the future drama and performance style of the 47 series of films. Later, the facts also verified the success of Lin Mu's attempt. After this four-movie movie, all the heart movies are far from the original version in Lin Mu's memory.
