Chapter 888 How Many Bond Girls Are There?

"I'm Bond, James Bond. ㈧(1) Chinese website"

In the concert hall, after Bond and the Angel trio destroyed the Spectre base and rescued Angela, with the iconic line of oo7, the picture freezes and the end credits begin to rise.

Although it was a screening ceremony, at this time in the past, even if the audience did not get up and leave immediately, there would be some commotion. But this time, when the subtitles were raised, there was no movement at the scene. Although "Casino Royale of oo7" is an uncompromising commercial action blockbuster, apart from those thrilling scenes, the film still gives people Countless details that can be recalled over and over again. Of course, the upcoming Easter Egg is also one of the most important reasons for everyone to wait patiently.

"My dad said that the more mysterious the boss is, the quicker he will die. Look, he is right again. I don't know if Charlie will cover his face first when it explodes. I haven't seen it yet. like him."

At the end of the end credits, along with the gradually lit screen, it is still the chatty voice of Lucini played by Penelope, but this time her tone was a little flustered and sad.

The camera became clear, three tall figures in strong suits but a little embarrassed were looking for something on the ruins of a hut that was hit by a bomb. Jill and Selena worked together to lift a collapsed wall panel, and Lucini squatted down. A pile of debris was cleared away, and two walkie-talkies tied together were quickly found.

"Well, it looks like we don't have to change bosses. God knows, there's no salary for this month."

Lucini sniffed and muttered a few words while crying and laughing, and Jill and Selena also gathered around.

The walkie-talkie with some scorch marks on the surface suddenly emitted a zizi electric sound.

When both the angel trio on the screen and the audience in the concert hall were expecting the sound from the walkie-talkie, the picture suddenly went dark.

"Fbsp; Many of the audience in the concert hall who had just been whetted couldn't help but utter a Western-style national curse, but when the lights were turned on, everyone still applauded enthusiastically. Whether it was the guests of the screening ceremony or the media film critics People are still lucky fans, and they are extremely satisfied with the whole film. Even some film critics who are instructed to find faults can't help giving this film an eight out of their hearts.

Even, many people were obviously still unsure, when the simple press conference began, the first reporter who was called on the audience asked Eric: "Mr. Williams, I'm a reporter from The Guardian, may I ask you? The last Easter egg, is it because the trio of Angels and Bond work together to destroy the Spectre base, causing the detective agency boss Charlie Townsend to be revenge by the Spectre?"

"I couldn't answer you that question.

On the stage, Eric said with a smile: "But, for the sake of you being obviously a fan of the Secret Service Cinematic Universe, well, the answer is yes. "

There was a chuckle in the arena, and the reporter with a slightly green face was also a little embarrassed. He was indeed a die-hard movie fan of the MGM Agents Movie Universe series, otherwise he wouldn't just rely on a few clueless groups. The camera quickly thought of these, and even gave up the questions that were originally prepared, and couldn't wait to verify the guesses in Eric.

Naturally, there was only one chance to ask questions, so he handed over the microphone in his hand, and another reporter from The Daily Telegraph got the opportunity to ask questions and said, "Mr. Williams, what are your thoughts on this summer's big live-action movie? What do you think of the series of losses, do you think the box office of "Casino Royale" will be affected by these factors?"

"Audiences expect good movies. If the studios only have the ambition to catch up with the box office of "Titanic" without the sincerity of "Titanic", then they are doomed to fail. As for "Casino Royale", I did All I can do myself, so I'm very confident about the box office prospects of the film."

"Then do you think "Casino Royale" can catch up with "Titanic" at the box office?" Another reporter asked another scathing topic.

Eric didn't hesitate too much, played Tai Chi, and said, "It depends on whether the fans want to create another box office miracle."

Eric's answers to several questions had some official rhetoric. The reporters in the audience realized that it was difficult to get too much sensitive information from Eric. Lanchet, the 'rookie'. Although Cate Blanchett's agent had repeatedly told her how to deal with reporters before the screening ceremony, in the face of the siege of these reporters, Kate was still a little bit overwhelmed, and inevitably fell into the siege of reporters several times. The problem trap, Eric, Barbara Blockley and others had to take the initiative to help Kate stop some problems.

"I'm so sorry, Eric, I didn't think that the question about Charlize and the others was actually directed at you," after the press conference, at the party at the Hyde Park Hotel, Eric had just been socializing, Cate Blanchett Chet took the initiative to come over with a glass of wine to apologize.

Eric shook his head with a smile and said, "It doesn't matter, you will have experience in such occasions a few times in the future. By the way, everyone is saying that your performance is amazing. Do you have any plans for the next movie?"

As a newcomer, when Kate got the role of Vesper Linde, she naturally signed a three-film option contract with Firefly. Her next two films must be selected from Firefly's film company, but It is not Eric's turn to intervene in these minutiae matters.

Kate shook her head and said, "Not yet. New Line has recommended a few scripts to me. However, Ron hopes that I will wait until "Casino Royale" is released before deciding."

Just after Kate finished speaking, she suddenly realized that these thoughts of being sold should not be mentioned in front of Eric, her face turned a little red, and she even wanted to flee in embarrassment.

Eric just smiled, but he didn't mind too much, and even had a good impression of Kate's frankness. He really wanted to take the initiative to jump over this topic. A middle-aged man and a woman walked side by side. The man looked like a fifty-year-old man. , tall, with a beard. The woman was about thirty or forty years old. Unlike the other female guests at the party who were wearing dresses, this woman was wearing a professional dress, but she had a somewhat shrewd and capable temperament.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Frank Lipton, a film critic," Frank Lipton stretched out his hand to Eric first, even though he was heading for Kate.

Eric shook hands with the other party, saw the woman next to Frank Lipton looking at Kate unabashedly, probably realized the purpose of the two, gestured to the woman, and asked Frank Lipton with a smile. :"Who is this?"

The woman quickly retracted her gaze on Kate, and politely extended her hand to Eric and introduced herself: "Mr. Williams, my name is Allison Owen, and I am a producer at orking-Tit1e Films."

orking-Tit1e, Eric recalled, thinking of last year's "Frozen" by the Coen Brothers, as well as the Oscar hit "Death Ramble", "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and other films in previous years, the list of production companies The name of this company is all there, and some other films that have not yet appeared in my mind seem to have the imprint of this film company. In this way, the company's status in the UK should be similar to that of the French Gaumont Film Company. Of course, If it is placed in Hollywood, it can only be regarded as second-tier at most.

There were still many guests around to entertain. Realizing that the two were here for Kate, Eric took the initiative to leave. If the two wanted to invite Kate to appear in a movie, they would naturally be able to bypass Firefly. meddle in something.

The UK is five hours ahead of the US Eastern Time. Due to the time difference, Eric and the girl didn't get much rest after the party.

Early the next morning, the first batch of film reviews about "Casino Royale of oo7" appeared in British local newspapers, and as it approached noon, film reviews from the United States continued to come.

"The plot is tight and fluid, with 145 minutes of storytelling in one go, and Eric Williams is back after Jurassic Park." - The Guardian

"After a series of bad movies in the summer, 'Casino Royale' finally brought us a hot visual feast." - "Daily Telegraph"

"Australian rookie actress Cate Blanchett's performance is amazing, Vesper Lynn is destined to become the most classic Bond girl image in the oo7 series. Christina Aguilera, the youngest in oo7 history Bond Girls also gave us a satisfying performance during their brief appearance. The Angels trio fell out of the sky. And of course, the long-awaited 'Muppet Girls', Williams always Fans will be disappointed. It's just, one, two, three, four, five, six... well, all I can say is, Casino Royale is definitely the most Bond girl in oo7 history." - The World News

"Casino Royale, directed by Eric Williams, redefines the oo7 series even without the interlude of the Secret Service Cinematic Universe. In the film, James Bond finally stops being a man of suits and attire, and he begins Injured, tired, in love, in pursuit of ordinary people's lives... Perhaps, such a Bond is what everyone really wants to see. The underwater farewell between Bond and Vesper is heartbreaking, the phrase 'work It's over, the slut is dead', which gives people a heart-wrenching feeling of despair. Although Bond is finally reborn and once again becomes the top-level agent who makes the enemy frightened, we can be sure that from now on, Bond will become A truly mortal man, not a screen symbol that towers above reality." - The New York Times

"There is no doubt that MGM's Secret Service Cinematic Universe project is officially on track after "oo7: Casino Royale". Eric Williams is just right to cross the plots of the three series, the oo7 series The overall style of the film is not affected by the two series in the slightest, but the integration of the plots of the three series brings more fun to the movie fans." - "San Francisco Chronicle"

In the villa on Garden Street in Kensington, Eric and the girl had just eaten lunch, and they were still sitting in the dining room looking through the summaries of various movie reviews that Peter Rich had just sent.

Patiently flipping through the review summary in her hand, the girl raised her head excitedly: "The overall rating is 9, Eric, how much box office do you think we can get this time?"

In Eric's hands, he just collected the North American box office data for last week. After the second week of screening, Finding Nemo once again earned $65.63 million at the box office. In two weeks, the total box office has reached $163 million. Everyone is envious. In the eyes of hatred, it continued to lead the entire summer file, and the major box office statistics agencies no longer doubted that "Finding Nemo" has the strength to hit the North American box office of 300 million. In comparison, the weekly box office of "Batman and Robin" is only 59.47 million US dollars. The comprehensive media score of this 125-million-dollar comic blockbuster has not only dropped to the ranks of worthless 1 point, but the weekly box office is far worse. A few weeks ago, "Godzilla" cost more than 70 million, and Time Warner Group has publicly announced that it will stop all of its DC's comic film projects.

Even, due to the box office fiasco of "Batman and Robin", the industry is not optimistic about the two projects "Spider-Man" and "Iron Man" launched by Firefly at the same time. Avi Arad even called to say that the original The attitude of some actors who intend to appear in two comic book films has suddenly turned cold recently. Even the agency caa of Stuart Runkel, who was the default Spider-Man actor, took the opportunity to increase the offer and demanded that the number of six films be reduced to 100%. Three at a time.

While thinking about these things, when he heard the girl's words, Eric put down the box office data sheet in his hand, and also took the film review of "Casino Royale" and browsed it, and said: "This, it is not easy to say, although North America has always been The oo7 series is the largest box office market. But at the same time, the oo7 series is not very popular in North America. I think, according to the current word of mouth, plus my personal box office appeal and the halo blessing of the agent movie universe, "Casino Royale" The North American box office should be able to reach 200 million US dollars, and overseas may be better, it should be 400 million US dollars, after all, the influence of "Jurassic Park" is still there."

"Eric, why don't you have confidence in me? I just spoke to Amy. She thinks that maybe this film will hit 300 million at the North American box office."

Eric smiled and said: "It's pointless to say this now. When the box office in North America and Japan is released tomorrow, we should be able to make some judgments."

"Okay," the girl put down the topic temporarily, and blinked her eyes: "Then what shall we do in the afternoon?" (To be continued.)
