Behind the scenes

Daniel Craig's challenge again

In 2006, Daniel Craig's debut as 007 in "007: Casino Royale" became an instant hit, and this time he once again incarnates code-named 007 agent James Bond. He said, "It feels like I've never left the crew. This time the preparation time is longer. I started preparing for the film "007: Quantum of Solace" three months before shooting. A 007 film is like Like a big machine, it takes a lot of kinetic energy and a lot of push to start. We started shooting right after Christmas, and everything went smoothly.” At the same time, he did not take the upcoming shooting lightly. "I don't think it's going to be easier this time, it feels even more difficult. People have high expectations for us, it's like a double-edged sword, we have to do better. Germany is a turning point, so this time we have to break through again. This time we have two heavyweights joining, one is Mark Foster, who is good at telling stories with images; the other is Dan Bradley, He directed the second part and his stunts and action shots were brilliant. Combining the talents of both of them was the key to our success. To make the best Bond movie, you have to recruit the best talent. Personally nervous and excited at the thought of creating an extraordinary film. The story started with the last one, but we're going to explore something completely new. Mark has a unique take on this film , I'm excited about it.

Quantum of Solace is the first true sequel to the James Bond franchise, and Craig explained, "We're going The open ending closes, telling people we're back. For me, the film is self-contained, but if you put the two together, it's an incredible experience because it's a coherent story. "

Despite the hardships, or the hardships involved, Craig speaks enthusiastically about the film. "I'm very excited about what we've done, and I'm amazed at what we've done." We went to so many locations and it was a great movie, and I think, in fact, I should say I know we made a very special movie. "

Singapore girl Olga Kurylenko

Olga Kurylenko talks about her role in 007: Quantum of Solace, saying: "Camille is a girl with a tragic past who witnessed her family being killed in front of her eyes when she was little. She's been through a lot and she's been strong because of it. She knows who killed her family and her drive is revenge." "Camille is smart, focused and skilled. She has a knack for fighting, but at the same time she also Not afraid to use her femininity. In fact, it's precisely because she's a girl that no one doubts her."

"When she first met Bond, she didn't even notice he was there because she Her entire attention and will was focused on her mission of revenge. But, gradually, she understood that they were heading in the same direction, although their goals were not quite the same."

"I don't think Camille is a typical Bond girl. She's the only Bond girl who hasn't slept with Bond! Camille is a character with a strong personality, she knows what she wants, she's determined."

For the stunts in the film , Kurylenko had to undergo extensive training, she explained: "I was very excited as soon as I read the script, I really liked the character, and I also liked that the character has a lot of action. I think there will be There are a lot of scenes involving weapon use, stunts, driving, falling from high altitudes, where else can I find an opportunity to do these things? I have been trained in different stunts with different instructors: fighting, rowing, racing. The stunt guy told me Great help, it's all about learning, and they were great mentors and explained everything very clearly. There was a scene at a party where Green (Matthew Amalric) was about to take me out of high I had a fear of heights, and when I first saw the set, I thought I couldn't do it -- I couldn't even walk up to the balcony of my apartment. But the stunt team took me up and slowly Walked me through the design moves. They were very patient, so I actually made it!"

The villain with a modern twist

"What I like about this character is his duality, there is a Green in the public eye and a private Green. When he was in public, he was shy, low-voiced, and not good at talking; but in private he was a completely different person. He tried to kill Camille because he thought she was using him for revenge At first I asked the director if I should have a shaved head or a scar or a bloody eye or something to help me represent this bad guy. But he said 'no, your eyes are enough'. So I I have to ask myself, what kind of person is a bad guy? Not a fanciful madman who wants to destroy the world, not that. There should be a deeper psychological profile. If the character tries to make himself disappear, unnoticed , or even being completely ignored like wallpaper, that's about as much, because that's how it serves its purpose more effectively. Unfortunately, in real life, it's hard to guess who's the bad guy, and that's what we're looking for."

"I also like that Green is afraid of blood, violence is abstract, and that's relevant to today's society. We live in a world where you can do anything with a computer. Since '007: Casino Royale', the 007 movie has happened. In order to change, the film crew is trying to explore something that is relevant to the world today."

As 007's enemy, Amalric has a lot of scenes with Daniel Craig in the film, but it is Green and 007's fight that excites him the most. . "I'm lucky because usually bad guys in 007 movies don't fight, but at the end of this scene, I had a bad fight with Daniel. Green couldn't fight at all, so James Bond was taken aback because the fight was not The training he usually receives is completely different. It's a life-and-death battle between two beasts."

The director who first shot 007

007: Quantum of Solace is Mark Foster's first James Bond film. He explained why the film appealed to him: "It was a big decision for me to take on a 007 film because it was so different from what I've done before. Directing a Bond film means you're in a Directing in a fixed frame. There are a lot of things you can't get around, there's Bond, Bond girls, luxury cars, a great history and millions of fans. It's an incredible opportunity for me .I found ways to creatively tell a story within a given frame, and it excites me. I know it's a challenging job too, and it's that challenge that appeals to me.

" The success of Casino Royale also brought pressure, Foster continued: "Because of the huge success of '007 'Casino Royale', expectations were higher. I feel like the early Bond films of the 1960s (Sean Connery as Bond) were way ahead of their time in terms of design, location, and style, and were my inspiration. I saw the dawn of a new Bond style. Foster hired Academy Award-winning art director Dennis Gasnell to help him realize his dream. “I was eager to work with Dennis because of his work on The Truman World and other collaborations with the Coen brothers. The design in the work is refreshing. Those set designs have a strong style, which is what Bond's world needs. "

"Another draw came from Daniel. He is a very interesting actor. On a psychological level, he brings Bond back to reality. He's not an untouchable hero, and he has flaws too. He has a vulnerable side and complex emotions, and he's human too. "

"Many of my previous films have portrayed emotionally suppressed characters. When you look at people who can't express their feelings, they have an emotional disability. I'm interested in this type of character because It's a universal human disease. Ultimately, if you can open your heart to the world, your consciousness will become clearer. A lot of our limitations come from not being able to express our feelings. Bond is a prime example. It was in Vespé (in "Casino Royale") that Bond experienced love, and that love was taken away. Bond felt he was being cheated on, he was a little disoriented and could no longer trust anyone For me, the theme of "007: Quantum of Solace" is trust."

Foster, who has made a series of well-received films and is known for his characterization, talks about the action blockbuster today, he said: " The process of making an action movie is actually not as scary as I thought. When doing an action movie, you have a strong security system, an experienced team that is good at making action movies. The hard part is planning and writing the action , not the action. The point of making an action movie is to use it to tell a story, not to do the action for the action's sake, because the latter is tedious and pointless."

In "007: Quantum of Solace", There are more exotic locations than any 007 movie in the past 46 years. The decision was made by Mark Foster. "Exotics are one of the hallmarks of the James Bond series, they put the audience in a completely different world. Finding a suitable location has become difficult because the standard has risen and the whole world has become more and more The smaller it is. We also have to consider Bond's state of mind and look for locations that reflect that state. For example, one of the reasons I chose the desert is because it represents loneliness -- which is Bond's mood."

The real 007 sequel

Talking about the development of the character of James Bond from the upper part, producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said: "In '007: Casino Royale', Bond was emotionally He needs to come out of his experience with Vespey after being seriously hurt. Bond feels like he can't leave his post, he can't find normal love or have a family or anything like that. He and his work are inseparable , and his world is too dangerous and violent to share with anyone. Bond is unwilling to put himself in a position of being blackmailed, and he is not willing to put others at risk of being blackmailed."

The plot of "007: Quantum of Solace" Beginning an hour after the conclusion of "007: Battle of Casino Royale," it marked the first time the 007 franchise had two truly closely connected films. Wilson commented: "In our opinion, there is no limit to how the 007 series can continue. While there are some hints in 007: Casino Royale, there are still many unanswered questions at the end that we think audiences must be eager to know. The answer, so making a sequel seems like a natural fit.

As for the title and how it relates to the script, the producers explained: "The name comes from a short story by Ian Fleming, in which it What it means is that unless two people comfort each other, their relationship is not saved. That is, if they are unwilling to share with each other, their relationship cannot be redeemed. In our film, the word 'quantum' is a pun, both referring to Bond's solace in the trauma of "007: Casino Royale" and the name of the evil organization in the film. "
