"007 Don't Biography: Iron King Kong Breaks the Royal Nightclub"

In the spring of 1966, Woody Allen traveled to London for a supporting role in this lavish British comedy. Unfortunately, "The Merry Gentleman" actor Peter Sellers continued to play the role in this "007 Laugh." Sellers is still as slack as he was on "The Merry Gentleman." He either went to buy records or ordered 45 suits at a time from famous brand designers in the name of the camera crew, thus delaying everyone's time and progress. Originally planned for only 6 weeks of filming, it actually dragged on to 6 months. Due to the spread of the whole crew's attitude of sabotage, it was Woody Allen's turn to work overtime, so Woody Allen took overtime pay and stayed at the luxurious Hilton Hotel with the crew, and leisurely communicated with "007 Laughs" every day. "The cast and crew spend their days playing poker.

This 1966 British sultry comedy "007 Laugh Biography" looks so long, extravagant, and boring today. The 131-minute film made me miserable to watch. The British ramble, ticklish gentleman's humor makes the film even more horribly boring; the extravagant costumes and expensive props make me in awe of the deep pockets of the film's financiers.

Let's take a look at Woody Allen's own memories of the filming. "This time I'm just an actor. They gave me a lot of money, but it was really just a small role. My agent said: 'Why not act? Maybe this movie will be a big hit, and then you have a chance I've been doing movies, not to mention being paid well.' So I went to London, and I was paid a lot and a lot of allowances, and it didn't take them six months to shoot me, but the cost of my stay there for six months was They did, and now you know how extravagant they are, and that's just a small part of it."

During this period, Woody Allen wrote a script called "Don't Drink Raw Water", and began to write articles for the American high-end literary magazine "The New Yorker", in addition to playing cards and gambling. By the end of the six months of filming, they asked Woody Allen to do his part, and then Woody went home. Woody was disgusted by the feeling of the filming, saying: "I think it was a stupid company that wasted a lot of film and a lot of money. This is another terrible movie experience for me."

After filming The Merry Gentleman, Woody Allen has released two comedy albums of his own: Woody Allen and Woody Allen 2. As a top comedy guru, Woody Allen's first three electrocution experiences were abysmal, although all three films were big hits at the word and box office. But Woody Allen gained valuable filmmaking experience. "The Merry Gentleman", "What Happened to Your Family? "Tiger Lily" made Woody Allen sure that he must dominate the script as the director; "007 Farewell: Iron King Breaks the Royal Nightclub" made Woody realize that the cost of filming must be strictly calculated, and the crew must work actively and regularly. At this point Woody Allen may have realized that if these vulgar comedies can be a big hit at the box office, then he can dedicate a higher form of comedy to the audience. The genius has been unable to suppress the urge to express his inner desire, and his talent will be released in the next "Fool in Prison".

    It's very messed up and confusing, but I think it's pretty cute, and it's not good. The scene design of the Mata Hari meme is very good; the Le Chiffre torture 007 part has a sense of art film at the time, and the O'Toole/Burton meme; and the villain is much more interesting than the Spectre one! !
