649 The First Show of Power
After his unexpected appearance, Lance only used two sentences and even skipped the introduction of each other, let alone exchanged greetings, and directly took the initiative in his hands and took the initiative first.
"We need to break James Bond's fixed image, which is completely different from any previous 7." Lance said calmly, "Let 7 return to its true spy identity, tough, bloody, cold, agile, and cunning, just like Jason Born with a spy shadow, but it is more elegant, noble, and gentle. Of course, it is more human."
"So, you basically ask us to erase all the highlights of James Bond, and then let him start rolling in the soil, like an American." Barbara's words were sharp like a sharp blade, and he stabbed directly, without even caring that Michael, the American, was the CEO of Sony Pictures. "This is not the same." James Bond, Jason Born, the capital letters at the beginning of both names are "".
Lance seemed unhappy. After Daniel Craig succeeded to the 7th in the last life, he faced accusations that were overwhelming, far more powerful than Barbara. "The world's largest box office market is the United States." He directly pushed back without any concessions. He became a bitch and was still a archway. There was no such simple thing in the world. "More importantly, it is now the 21st century. After a hundred years of the film exhibition, do you think the audience is still those fools? I believe that a spy can rely on his charm to impress his opponents? I believe that a spy still has no wrinkles in his suit after experiencing a fight? I believe that a spy can still kill people with grace and without blood?"
Lance's smile was filled with a hint of mockery, and it was inexplicably sharp. Wilson and Anthony exchanged a glance, and then both cast their eyes at Barbara. They did not agree with Lance's remarks, but were curious about Barbara's reaction, with a hint of gloating in their eyes.
Barbara's eyes flashed slightly, as if she was brewing how to refute, but she didn't find a good foothold for a while, so she chose to shut up. The impulsive remarks often make herself lose her elegance and etiquette. She is not those little girls who are easy to deceive. Instead of confronting each other rashly, it is better to let Lance show her trump card and then look for loopholes to refute.
Lance intentionally left Barbara with time to respond, but she didn't speak, so Lance continued, "Of course, the reason why movies are movies is because they are based on reality but are higher than reality. Therefore, the audience is willing to believe that a spy can play in the world in a romantic way, and that a spy can perfectly combine elegance and toughness, and that a spy can save the whole world."
"So, both are, but they are completely different, but they are all spies." Lance fought back with the same words, which made Barbara laugh without being angry, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Or, agent."
As Barbara said, Jason Born has the imprint of the United States, is from grassroots, is iron-blooded, cold-hearted, low-key and calm, struggling in the dust, while James Bond follows the British tradition, is elegant and calm, likes Martini, drives famous cars, hugs and completes tasks while chatting and laughing. These are two completely different people, but their essence is the same.
Because of Lance's words, Barbara and the other three briefly exchanged glances.
In fact, the 7 series has been seeking change. Roger Moore added more funny elements, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many viewers. He believed that such a Bond was completely undecent, but the box office results proved the correctness of this change. Timothy was even more vicissitudes. He was born in Shakespeare's stage play, injected more humanity into Bond, which added depth to the work and reduced entertainment. Pierce seemed more gentle, and gave a new interpretation of the tender gentlemanly demeanor.
However, this time Lance's request really broke the British's persistence: it made James Bond's elegance flaw, and it might even lose this elegance.
But it must be admitted that from the beginning to now, Lance has a clear idea and clear organization. Most importantly, he grasped the core of the problem and had a strong persuasion.
"In addition, maybe we can not make James Bond a specific symbol, but give him more human characteristics." Lance's words made Michael, who was sitting next to him, chuckled. Even Anthony was smiling. Wilson said in a muffled voice, "So, the previous 7 are not humans?"
Lance actually nodded seriously, "Yes, they are not, they are just 7, not James Bond." As we all know, 7 is a code name in the Intelligence Agency. If James Bond dies, then a new spy will fill the 7 vacancy.
"They have no date of birth, no family, no friends, or even past memories. They are just 7." Lance's words made everyone fall into deep thoughts, especially Paul, because he is the screenwriter, and countless thoughts suddenly burst into his mind. "So, why can't we let the audience see the real James Bond?"
This is Lance's first preparation, taking a trilogy or a five-part as a chapter, showing a certain characteristic of Ren 7 played by Daniel Craig, laying the foundation for subsequent long-term cooperation.
Wilson frowned slightly, "Explain and see." The simple words were full of doubts. It can be seen that they had never made such an attempt in previous commercial movies.
"I mean it is very simple, it doesn't need to be too complicated, it just needs to show a certain side of Bond, such as why he became a spy or, in other words, his biggest fear in his heart. That alone is enough. After all, James Bond is not Martin Luther King." Lance's words made Anthony unable to hold back, and he laughed, raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, "I like this kid."
Lance nodded to Anthony with a smile, but Barbara's voice rang beside her, interrupting the rhythm, "Are we going to choose another Timothy Dalton?"
Timothy is one of the most profound acting skills among all the 7s, and he is more rigid than Sean. He is completely from an orthodox college education, so each character will inject his own understanding and depth, which also makes Timothy's version of 7 not as entertaining as Sean.
"Oh, no." Lance shook his head repeatedly, "Daniel Day Lewis will make the movie gloomy and depressing, and make people want to commit suicide after watching it." This time, even Wilson couldn't help laughing.
"We should not start with the actors, but with the plot. For example, while arranging the opponent, it can be an old acquaintance who crawled out of the past, and he can show the James Bond part of the past, just like a fragment or a wife. She also knows Bond's past, just like a puzzle." Before Lance finished speaking, Anthony took the conversation and said, "Showing a certain part of Bond's humanity!" Lance nodded repeatedly, "Yes, only one part is needed, which is enough. Let the audience realize that James Bond, he is a human, not a symbol."
This part of the content is a link between the previous and the next, and truly builds the main line of the 7 projects, which is also the core content of the Lance Trilogy plan.
"At the same time, we can also dig more into villains. You know, adding a bunch of villains without any challenge will only make the plot tedious, but setting up an opponent with equal strength is like solving puzzles. The real challenge will make ** wonderful." Lance continued to add, "In the villain, we can increase the discussion of human nature, such as the confrontation between evil and justice, and the sin 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 also experience the bombardment, but also recall it carefully instead of completely forgetting it. It is like a tampon thrown into the trash can."
"Puchi", Anthony really couldn't help it. He was even more happy to see Barbara, whose expression was loose for the first time.
Barbara glanced at Anthony silently, ignored him, but raised her head and looked Lance in the eyes for the first time, "This dear gamer, we are shooting a money-making movie, not a philosophical work. I think you should have chosen the wrong plan."
Faced with Barbara's merciless attack, the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth suddenly outlined. The light that burst out in an instant made people unable to move their sight at all. Even Barbara was like this, and her eyes began to deepen. She suddenly began to understand Anthony's previous warning.
The bright eyes looked over without any timidity or retreat. Barbara looked at the jokes and jokes in the blue with playfulness, "I thought the British were more than that." The low voice said this elegantly and beautifully, but Barbara was stunned. Then she immediately reacted to her initial mockery about Jason Bourne, but now she was back to herself.
This person is really interesting.
Barbara smiled out of the corner of her mouth and looked at Lance with interest, "So, why do you convince us to believe your plan and take such a big risk just for a potential possibility?" After a long circle, she returned to the starting point, as if Lance had never had any long speech just now. This is the power of the real superior. If the turn of hands is turned into clouds and rain, and in an instant, it is not necessary to judge life and death. Perhaps, there is a reason, "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.
