With the release of "007: No Time to Die", the 007 series has once again ushered in an inflection point - James Bond is double-wagging to change people. From the first generation of 007 Sean Connery to the sixth generation of 007 Daniel Craig, six outstanding actors have contributed different styles of performances, handsome, charming, and at ease is always the unique label of 007, and 007's side is always full of luxury cars and bang girls.
Daniel Craig, the actor of the sixth generation of 007, has starred in five Bond films, including: "Casino Royale", "Quantum of Solitaire", "Skybreaker", "Ghost Party", "No Time to Die", of which "No Time to Die" is also Daniel's last 007 film, which also means that he will bid farewell to the 007 series and start a new acting chapter.
On the set of "No Time to Die", Daniel made a brief and touching thank you speech, saying, "It is an honor to participate in the 007 series of movies, many of you have worked with me on five films for more than ten years, and it is a great honor to be able to work with you." Daniel choked up tears at one point during the thanksgiving, and many of the staff members present also shed tears, after all, from "Casino Royale" to "No Time to Die", the five films span more than a decade, and the whole team has long become a tacit understanding.
Daniel burst into tears on the set
Daniel's departure from 007 is also heartbreaking news for many viewers, after all, everyone loves this generation of 007 so much, he may not be the most handsome 007, but it must be the hardest 007, and it is Daniel Craig who redefines this classic agent IP. In fact, when Daniel first relayed to become the sixth generation of 007, the audience and the media mostly looked down on this unknown guy, after all, compared to the previous generation of 007 Pierce Brosnan, Daniel really did not have a prominent advantage, and even some media thought that his blonde hair was really funny, calling him "Mr. Potato Head." ”
Mr. Potato Head
But! After officially taking over 007, Daniel's contribution of the hardcore 007 has conquered many of the people who have sung him before. Compared with Brosnan, Daniel's version of 007 has a unique temperament: flesh and blood, cold and fierce, he is no longer the elegant agent who always walks idly, he will also be gray and scarred. After Daniel Craig took over the baton, the fierce and dangerous action scenes of the 007 series increased significantly, which is why the Daniel version of 007 can be described as the hardest in the series.
Similarly, the hardcore style has a lot of costs at the same time as gaining a large audience, that is, high-intensity strain and injuries, from the Royal Casino in 2006 to the immaculate death in 2021, in more than ten years of kung fu, Daniel has almost given everything for 007, and the whole body has been injured almost every time, and the foreign media has summarized the various parts of Daniel's injury through a picture.
During the filming of 2008's "Quantum of Solitaire", Daniel suffered a severe injury to his face, and an explosion shot that should have been safely performed accidentally injured Daniel's face, and Daniel had to be treated immediately, and after eight stitches on his face, Daniel said that it was not easy. Fortunately, this injury did not leave a conspicuous scar on Daniel's face.
During the filming of Daniel Craig's first Bond film Casino Royale in 2006, Daniel's first stunt performance directly caused his teeth to be broken due to inadequate movements, which was also the first pain Daniel suffered after taking over 007. The broken teeth had a big impact on Daniel, and his dentist was equally flustered, and in order to treat it as soon as possible, Daniel's dentist took a flight directly from London to the filming location.
"Quantum of Solitaire" is Daniel's nightmare, not only was his face stitched eight times, but during filming, Daniel's right shoulder had a serious muscle strain and misalignment, which forced him to hit the steel nails and hang the suspender belt. The repeated torture of injuries made Daniel almost collapse, and when his emotions were out of control, Daniel even said that it was better to take on 007 than to directly cut his wrists and commit suicide.
Another double is Quantum of Solitaire! During filming in Panama, Daniel's ribs broke, forcing filming to be shelved again. Daniel's five 007 films have caused him to be injured more than thirty times in total, the more serious of which are concentrated during the filming of "Quantum of Solace", which can be described as Daniel's "injury crisis".
Daniel was still more fighting, also in Panama, Daniel's finger was severely cut, and after medical treatment, Daniel quickly returned to the crew to continue working.
More than thirty injuries made Daniel almost scaly, and what really made Daniel retreat was the injury to his knee, and Daniel also admitted in the interview that the knee injury was the most serious trauma he had ever suffered.
Dave's nickname at WWE was Beast
During the filming of "007: Ghost Party", in an action scene, Daniel's opponent actor is Dave Batista, and the audience familiar with Dave knows that Dave is a professional wrestler who plays for Wwe before entering the show business circle, although WWE has a certain entertainment nature, but Dave, who is 198 and weighs more than 100 kilograms, is too strong, and Daniel looks a little small in front of him.
In this action scene, Dave needs to throw Daniel hard against the wall, and although the actors have been rehearsing for weeks, Dave is always careful not to use his full strength out of the actual shooting of Daniel's protection. In pursuit of better results, Daniel told Dave, "With all my strength, I can carry it." In fact, Daniel was unable to hold on, and after Dave threw it hard, Daniel threw himself against the wall but his knee hit the corner of the wall, which was obviously beyond the original plan, and Daniel's knee was hit so hard that he needed surgery. As a result, Daniel's knees became fragile, and he could not even bend or kneel for a long time, otherwise his knees would be at risk of being scrapped.
As the hardest 007, Daniel conquered the audience with his acting skills, strength and personal charm, and this time he will completely bid farewell to the 007 series and will also start a new acting chapter.
