The most well-known and classic intelligence officer in the history of film - 007 James Pound, although popular with audiences around the world, has repeatedly created good results, but it has not always been unfavorable, there have been low tides, and even in the United States, the momentum slipped to a time that people doubted that they would enter history, and after 6 years of blanks, no new works were launched.
At that time, it was originally the period of the 4th generation of Pound Timothy Darden, Timothy, like his predecessor Roger Moore, signed a 3-episode contract with the production company of Pound Films.
Timothy should be regarded as the more untimely of the previous Pounds, he insisted on walking back to the dark, serious wind in the original book, and was extremely unable to adapt to the old beauty who was accustomed to the Roger Moore-style relaxed entertainment style, even film critics were no exception, and his performance in "Dawn Life" was generally evaluated, although the overall performance of "Dawn Life" was not bad compared to Roger Moore's last episode" "Thunder Killing Machine". When it comes to the "killing license", the scale of violence is even higher, Pound often kills red eyes to avenge his friends, and the American audience is even more difficult to accept, although the sellers around the world are slightly inferior to "Dawn Life", but they are not yet falling sharply, only in the United States to kick the big iron plate, the response is quite unsatisfactory.
In addition to the serious interpretation method is not pleasing to the old Beauty, Timothy also has another point of injustice, the media earlier enthusiastically reported that the 4th generation 007 will be the starring series "Dragon Phoenix Detective" loved by many American audiences Pierce Brosnan, the result of the drama crew saw him in a big way, deliberately lengthened the contract to leave him to shoot new content, so that he did not have time to take care of Pound films, Timothy was temporarily found to put out the fire, by many Americans as halfway out of the Cheng bite gold, has always been unwilling to accept, early resistance mentality.
Timothy Dutton's lack of American audience popularity is not the biggest fatal injury, although the script of episode 17 007 has been completed, due to the personnel changes in the behind-the-scenes lineup and the possible changes in the distribution rights, the filming schedule has been delayed, the director has not yet been determined, and because the friend of the original author Ian Fleming has filed a copyright lawsuit, the lawsuit has been fought for a while, until finally the dust has settled and can be filmed again, and several years have passed, and the audience will not wait for a new sequel. At this time, Timothy's contract period had expired, and he thought that he was over 50 years old and too big, and did not intend to finish the third episode required in the previous contract, making the new Pound candidate a topic of attention.
Whenever the Pound actors want to change, the media will propose a bunch of people with topics, and this time some people say that black people should be given a chance, so they name Eddie Murphy.
American audiences waited for Pierce to play Pound for 7 or 8 years to finally look forward to coming true, for 007 to return to the big screen is highly eye-catching, his starring "GoldenEye" is considered to be both innovative and has the characteristics of traditional Pound films, film critics vigorously applauded, so that Lao Mei is more willing to hold the scene, as soon as it is released, it will return to the box office champion throne, successfully breaking through the $100 million mark, and then opening red plates in succession around the world, washing the decline of the "killing license", so that Pound films can come back to life in the United States.
In the past, Taiwan has always loved 007 movies more than Americans, even if even if the two works of the Timothy Dutton period, the performance of the whole Taiwan is still high in the 2nd and 3rd place of the annual film, and the filmmakers are more confident in the "GoldenEye", thinking that it is absolutely hot in Taiwan, so whether North America has been released in November, or arranged to come to Taiwan in early February of the following year, the Spring Festival of the year started from mid-to-late February, it is not difficult to see the intention of the filmmakers. However, the Taiwanese audience is still enthusiastic, "Golden Eye" box office dominance not long ago, has been replaced by two other Spring Festival blockbusters "Cut Throat Island" and "Savage Game", failed to sit on the first throne until after the Spring Festival, and the total settlement after the Spring Festival, "GoldenEye" actually lost the "Savage Game" and "Cut Throat Island", in the Spring Festival slot outside the film only won the 3rd place, the total settlement of the annual box office of the outer film fell to the 8th place, is the previous 16 Pound films in Taiwan has not been a low ranking.
"GoldenEye" in Pierce is handsome, the two Pound girls Isabella Scrubpo intellectually elegant, Fengie Jensen playing the evil girl is crazy eye-catching, plus the first time to go to St. Petersburg, Russia, the scale of the action scenes is also upgraded compared to the previous 16 films, Tina Turner sings the theme song is also very popular, how to see is unlikely to play in Taiwan to the iron plate, failed to repel other strong films, some people are unexpected, especially "Cut Throat Island" sold out all over the world, the United States is particularly miserable, Such a film can also beat back 007, and "GoldenEye" is definitely disgraceful.
However, "GoldenEye" in Taiwan's box office performance is not bad but not as good as the past 007 enthusiasm, or excusable, in the past 007 film is synonymous with top entertainment blockbusters, Taiwanese audiences are accustomed to this taste, other different flavors of commercial films are not very acceptable, wait until it disappeared on the screen for 6 years, Hollywood blockbusters have begun to smash the scene, than special effects, 007 has become a little less fashionable, cool, and is no longer the only favorite of Taiwanese audiences, can not blame Pierce Blos South's charm is not strong enough. After "GoldenEye", he starred in the following episodes of the 007 film, the filmmakers invited him and the heroines to attend the premiere event, creating a hot topic, and the seller returned to the ranks of the annual Top 3.
