With the release of "007: No Time to Die" in the mainland this weekend, lead actor Daniel Craig will complete his bond farewell show.
At the same time, his experience of five appearances has also become the third highest number of actors in the "007" series of film performances.
It is second only to the original Bond Sean Connery 6 times, and the third generation starring Roger Moore 7 times.
Daniel completed this achievement in 15 years.
This experience not only helped him complete the redemption of his acting career, but also became the most important achievement in his golden years as an actor.
It can be said that it is the "007" series of movies that have made Daniel, and Daniel has given the series the most direct return with his wonderful performances - the harvest at the box office.
Although it is the most famous film series in film and television, the film industry was not as developed as it is now in the era when "007" became famous.
Prior to Daniel's role as Bond, the series' 43-year history had grossed no more than $2.5 billion at the box office.
Although from the input-output ratio, the benefits are good.
But in the 15 years that Daniel starred, the series has grossed more than $3 billion, not including the upcoming "007: No Time to Die."
Although it is stained with some of the light of the dividends of the times, from the box office alone, perhaps no one in the series will be able to surpass his achievements.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > the counterattack path from not being optimistic, to being highly sought after, the most 'dixie' Bond in history</h1>
Back to Daniel's debut as Bond in Casino Royale.
At that time, the most handsome 007 Brosnan in history had just resigned, and there was fierce competition in the role of Bond.
At that time, the list of competitors included Cliff Owen, Colin Farrell, Christian Bell, Jude Lowe, and George Clooney, all of whom were actors with the same good looks and acting skills.
Even Daniel looks so 'ordinary' in this list.
There was even a oolong in that year.
The Sun newspaper once broke the news that Daniel was selected to star in "007", and he received countless congratulatory text messages while acting in the United States.
As a result, a reporter from the United States interviewed him and felt about this matter.
As a result, Daniel was completely unaware of the matter and even clarified this "rumor".
After actually determining that he had won the role, Daniel was under unprecedented pressure.
Because he has not starred in a successful commercial blockbuster before, fans around the world do not know much about him.
And because of The Contrast with Brosnan at the time, Daniel even looked a bit like a country boy.
On weekdays, some British poets feel that Daniel is not confident that he can successfully shape such a male agent who represents the trend of global fashion trends.
Interestingly, when he was selected to star, Daniel was paid only $2.55 million.
However, "Casino Royale" became the highest-grossing film in the series at that time, so the filmmakers immediately realized the value of Daniel.
The four-year, $51.22 million contract was offered, which was also the largest income Daniel earned after becoming an actor.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > "Casino Royale" is a mutual achievement, where the new James Bond is born</h1>
Before the series began filming, fans generally complained about Daniel's appearance.
They thought that Daniel looked like a rude countryman, too fierce in appearance, and 179 years of height, so that he could not overlap with James Bond's image of a gentleman.
Not to mention that his blonde style does not match the classic image of black hair, and the 38-year-old is also a bit 'old'.
Even Daniel's professional credentials at the International Theater have been criticized, saying it may make Bond, who he plays, appear rigid.
To make matters worse, some fans even set up a website called "Daniel is not Bond" in order to oppose his appearance, and mocked Daniel for looking more like The KGB's Putin than MI6's 007.
But then we learned that the producers cleverly chose to reboot the film with the origin of the 007 story.
The character's youthful impulses were made more in line with Daniel's personal characteristics, while also adjusting the overall style of the film.
The fiery real action scenes, combined with Daniel's male hormone explosion appearance, make the image of Bond's character reshaped.
This is really because it breaks bond's long-standing elegant gentleman, and the rebooted bond image has attracted many new audiences.
Not only set an excellent box office record, but also opened up a new path for the development of the series.
Nowadays, there will be some new fans, because the series has returned to the classical gentleman's style, and the spit film has lost that hot feeling.
What's interesting later is that Daniel is not unable to have grace, nor is he unable to control Bond's compulsion.
Daniel later admitted in an interview that he had always loved high-end luxury brands, but he was too "poor" to buy them.
But because of his role in Bond, his income has risen, and when he is paired with luxury goods on weekdays, his traditional image with Bond is becoming more and more similar.
Outside, I don't know if I'm really worried that Daniel's face is too 'fierce'.
During the filming of Casino Royale, the villains deliberately chose Max Mickelson to enhance the villain's aura.
This also makes Daniel's Bond look more like a positive character (laughs). 、
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64" > goodbye to James Bond forever, it's also a whole new journey</h1>
Played for the first time at the age of 38, Daniel is now 53 years old.
You should know that when Brosnan resigned, he was only 50 years old.
Because there are more action scenes in the series after the restart, it is not easy for Daniel today.
This time coincided with the expiration of the film contract, and Daniel finally had to say goodbye to this role.
After the reboot of the series, although Casino Royale was well received, it was not always smooth sailing along the way.
For example, in "Quantum of Solitaire", which tries to amplify the success factors of the reboot, too much fighting and too much personal emotion make Bond look like a Rambo + Jason Bourne-style hero, and the personal charm formed by new Bond through delicate balance is lost.
Although the box office is acceptable, the word of mouth is average.
Subsequently, the emergence of "Skybreaker Killing Machine", through the shaping of the villain, let the series return to the peak again.
However, compared with the polarization at home and abroad, the recognition of Daniel abroad has gradually increased.
However, many domestic critics still have personal feelings for Daniel, leaving aside the film and simply not recognizing this version of Bond.
After the release of the fourth part of the series, "Ghost Party", the biggest problems of the series were exposed.
Although the film has tried to shoot through the modern film method, it is difficult to stimulate the audience by controlling the direction of the plot.
In contrast, Mission Impossible actually faces a similar problem.
The villain design is too strong, in order to make the protagonist win, it must be opened and handled, which inevitably destroys the perception.
In particular, the larger the background of the series, the more likely it is to have such problems.
So "Ghost Party" has almost become the least recognized part of the series after the second part.
As for this "No Time to Die", it seems that there is still no special praise for the quality of the film.
Most of those who give high scores are also based on Daniel's face.
Fifteen years later, despite all the criticisms, Daniel managed to gain the approval of the majority.
The tough guy version of James Bond has also become a memorable classic image in film history.
Only after Daniel, the casting of 007 encountered new difficulties.
Is it a return to the style of the elegant gentleman before, or the way to maintain Daniel's version of the somewhat lecherous?
It is known that the current film side seems to have eliminated the most suitable Jitter Sen that Xiao Zhan thinks is the most suitable.
Henry Cavell and Tom Hardy are all well suited, but both of them will allow Bond to go further and further down the muscular man's path.
George McKay in "1917" and Richard Madden in "Game of Thrones" will guarantee a longer stable appearance due to age.
It's just that there seems to be a voice at the moment, discussing the possibility of a black actor playing Bond.
But this is really not a good idea, please don't do this kind of big job.
As for Daniel himself, actually giving up the role of Bond will not have a great impact on him.
Born in The Class, he has always been excellent in acting, and he can control various styles.
Especially before playing Bond, various drama films also had good performances.
Now that you've achieved fame, you can naturally be bold enough to try more.
For example, the previous performance with 'American Team' Evans in "Sharp Blade Out of the Sheath" is very classic, and the series has also determined the production of two sequels in one go.
Here we also wish him that in his new acting career, he can transcend bondage and create more roles that audiences can remember.
