On January 9, according to foreign media reports, the well-known British director Michael Apt died on January 7 at the age of 79.

Michael Apt's agent, Roy Ashton, confirmed the news to the outside world, according to the revelations, the director's last days in Los Angeles, but the cause of his death has not yet been revealed, uncertain whether it is related to the new crown pneumonia.
Key figures such as Thomas Schramm, the current president of the Directors Guild of America, have posted tributes, saying michael Apt's legacy will forever be embedded in the film industry, and "we all benefit from his wisdom and lifelong dedication."
Born in England in 1941, Michael Epputt studied law and history at Cambridge, but eventually switched careers to directing, first shooting commercials and TV series, then filming, and received seven Oscar nominations for "Miner's Daughter", including the heavyweight award for best picture, which led him to Hollywood.
Another of his masterpieces is 1999's "007 Black Sun Crisis", 007 is ordered to protect the heir of oil tycoon Sir Robb, Elek, and tries to solve the plot of the terrorist Raynard, but does not expect that Elek and Raynald are actually lovers, and Bond, who is trapped in the trap, is almost killed.
The final reversal of the film is amazing, Sophie Marceau is the most beautiful snake and scorpion girl, the villain Renard's character image is also very plump, and the love with Erek is deformed but moving. The film received many praises after its release and is a childhood memory of countless people.
Apt also directed 2012's "Narnia Legends 3: Dawn Treading Wave", because the previous work was not good at the box office, Apt was in danger, but still failed to recover the decline.
I hope that the director, who has brought countless good memories to the audience, can go all the way.
