The heroic image, fantasy plot, and rough production are not just the various "tear devils" dramas in our impression.
In fact, the first "007" movie has similar characteristics.
Hero image.
The legendary James Bond.
Under the interpretation of Sean Connery, the British intelligence organization MI6 (MI6) has since become a representative figure who is personable, self-confident, and a little cynical.
The spy, who was originally a very mysterious in reality, has become a super agent who often saves the world on the big screen.
From the first movie "Dr. 007 No promise" to "007: No Time to Die " in 2021 , James Bond has defeated the villain time and time again, as if he was an invincible God of War, an immortal existence.
In fact, the original Bond was not deified in the setting. He was not as powerful as an ox, would not hide from bullets, and maybe five or six people could defeat him without a dozen people.
Before performing the main plot mission, Bond’s last mission was because of a jammed pistol, which caused him to be injured and hospitalized for half a year.
So the MI6 director changed his equipment and let the first Dr. Q also make his appearance.
Dr. Q is the quartermaster responsible for supplying various weapons to Bond . He was also called Major Boothroyd in "Dr. 007 Noble" , and he didn't have much black technology to provide, so he was done with a pistol.
Of course, Bond is definitely not waiting. According to his description, he has never missed in MI6 for more than ten years, which means that all tasks have been successful, but he was seriously injured before dealing with Dr. No.
His "007" number was not given for nothing.
The number "00" represents authorized killing, which is the right only for senior agents.
This setting has always been used, and the agents with the 00 number are very good.
The plot has created a lot of trouble for Bond, but due to the limitations of the times and the limited cost, Bond can't come up with all kinds of non-human abilities similar to "Mission Impossible" Tom, the most is to kill poisonous spiders. Calm, count the bullets and know the firearms to fight back, reflecting his basic agent qualities.
He will also have a move that is not invincible. For example, a CIA agent can be behind the oriole and directly hand in his gun.
James Bond is even more embarrassed to deal with the wealthy and powerful villain Dr. No.
He has only one person and a pistol, and Dr. No has an entire island and is heavily guarded.
Then how did he sneak into the island single-handedly and use his personal heroism to solve Dr. No.
That is the fantasy plot.
The movie "007" is essentially the same as Shuangwen. It doesn't have much rigorous logic, and the protagonist is halo when it is indecisive.
Bond seems to have a lot of trouble and difficulty, but the way to solve the problem can be very nonsense.
Yes, Dr. Noh can be stupid enough to kill Bond and finish the job, but put him in a dungeon where he can easily escape.
Bond has a lot of affair along the way, which is very in line with the fantasy of male audiences.
Bond's almost perfect masculine charm satisfies the female audience's fantasy of male gods.
To talk about the groundbreaking of "Dr. 007 No" , at best, it provides a template for the special agent genre film.
The true originator of the genre film was "North by Northwest" which was released three years earlier .
Yes, the producer of "Dr. 007 No" asked the director to follow "North by Northwest" .
Unfortunately, the director Terence Young is not Hitchcock. Although the original "007" is a best-seller, it is not guaranteed to sell.
The film company Lianmei only wanted to invest 1 million US dollars, and later overspent, so it added another 100,000.
This led to the lack of big scenes in the film, the biggest scene being the final explosion.
And all kinds of props and costumes look very funny now.
What has been complained more is that Dr. Nou puts on a plastic bag, which can actually protect against radiation.
That is to say, such a crudely produced "Dr. 007 No" , which finally achieved a box office success of more than tens of millions of dollars.
This also gave Lianmei the confidence to continue investing in the next film. Over time, "007" has become a global film series and a cultural phenomenon.
The significance of "Dr. 007 No" is far greater than the content.
The success of this film is not about revolutionary skills and techniques, but to a greater extent due to effective cost control. If Lianmei’s head is hot for a while, and the cost is tens of millions, the effect may be another matter. The box office does not make money or even loses money, then there may be no "007" IP at all, and even spy films will not grow wildly. Developed a type of film.
The enlightenment is that a movie series is not necessarily a blockbuster, like Marvel's "Iron Man" .
From the very beginning of "007", I wanted to shoot a series, and it was not the first "Dr. 007 Noble" in 1962 that really played well .
Nowadays, many movie series want to play the big one, but it turns out to be counterproductive and hastily ended.
Then why can’t you start with a low cost like "007" and leave room to explore your own characteristics.
This is something that major Hollywood makers can reflect on, and it is also worth thinking about Chinese films. It turns out that it doesn’t matter whether the film series can make a splash.
