Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1608 Two Cranky People

Replace John Grant's carefully selected Timothy Dalton, and Lin Daoqiu will find a new James Bond.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Daoqiu would go through auditions or screenings to find an actor suitable for the role of James Bond from Hollywood.

What they didn't know was that Lin Daoqiu had already found a candidate, and he had seen this person in TV dramas.

"Legend of Steele" is a detective TV series produced by NBC. Lin Daoqiu's favorite is Pierce Brosnan, the leading actor of this drama.

Pierce Brosnan was also the actor of 007 in his last life, and he has appeared in "007" four times in total, and left a lot of classic shots.

The reason why Lin Daoqiu approached Pierce Brosnan was because he was more in line with James Bond's image in Lin Daoqiu's mind than Timothy Dalton.

And Pierce Brosnan, who is only 33 years old at this time, is very young and is one of the most suitable candidates to play James Bond.

What Lin Daoqiu wants is to make "007" not need to worry about casting candidates for at least ten years, so that it can continue to be filmed steadily and become a big IP of MGM.

At this time, Pierce Brosnan, who has developed well in TV series, has actually always hoped to participate in the performance of movies.

It's just that he has never encountered any good scripts, so he can only wait for the opportunity to come.

Until MGM called him and asked him to meet, Pierce Brosnan felt that this was a great opportunity for him.

If MGM had called Lin Daoqiu before Lin Daoqiu took charge, Pierce Brosnan might not be too excited.

Because the situation of MGM in the past few years is obvious to all, it can be said that there are almost no good works, except for "007".

But it's different now. After Lin Daoqiu entered MGM, almost all the actors in Hollywood were eagerly looking forward to receiving the job invitation from MGM.

Even if they are not the protagonists, they don't mind, as long as they can participate in the movie produced by Lin Daoqiu, then they have the hope of becoming popular.

It was not Lin Daoqiu who called Pierce Brosnan, but Richardson.

But even so Pierce Brosnan did not dare to neglect, he arrived at the agreed place half an hour earlier than the agreed time and waited for the other party.

After all, he is just a TV star at this time. Even though he is famous, he still dare not show off in front of a big company like MGM, especially with Lin Daoqiu's blessing.

"Tim, do you think MGM's meeting with me this time has something to do with Mr. Lin?"

Before the people from MGM came, Pierce Brosnan first chatted with his agent.

As Pierce Brosnan's agent, Tim felt that Pierce Brosnan would become a big star sooner or later, but he didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.

"I don't know, but now that MGM has just been bought by Mr. Lin, the movies produced at this time must be more or less related to Mr. Lin. I even have a bold guess..."

Tim looked at Pierce Brosnan, hesitant to speak.

"What guess?"

Pierce Brosnan looked at Tim nervously, although he is already a well-known TV star, but for Pierce Brosnan, becoming a well-known movie star is his wish.

Now this opportunity is in front of him, and Pierce Brosnan naturally has to do his best to seize it.

""007"..."

""007"? How is it possible? I heard that "007" has already found a role before, and the filming of this movie will start soon."

Pierce Brosnan, who has been starring in "The Legend of Steele" for several years, will naturally pay attention to the "007" series of movies.

But before that, he had heard the news that MGM had already selected the leading actor for "007", and the film was about to enter the filming stage.

"Do you mean that they plan to cast me as the villain in "007"?"

Pierce Brosnan suddenly realized that he thought what Tim said was that the other party wanted to invite him to play "007", but instead of playing the leading role, he played the villain in it.

If you say that, it's okay, but if you're playing a villain, Pierce Brosnan really can't accept it.

Although "007" is a big IP, everyone in this show is serving the actor James Bond.

Moreover, he played the leading role in "Legend of Steele", playing decent roles. If he took over the villain in "007" this time, he was worried that it would affect the filming of his TV series.

"Whether it's a villain or a leading actor, I think MGM's casting of you this time must have something to do with "007". If they really want you to play a villain, would you be willing?"

As an agent, Tim naturally considers Pierce Brosnan first.

If the role of "007" damages Pierce Brosnan's image or affects his previous work, then Tim will not let Pierce Brosnan continue in this play, even if it is a big IP.

"If it's a villain, I really don't want to continue, but "007" has a huge impact. If I can play a role in it, it will definitely be a huge help to my film career in Hollywood."

It never occurred to Pierce Brosnan from beginning to end that MGM approached him to play James Bond.

He and his agent began to think wildly, and they took the role of villain by themselves, which really made people laugh and cry.

But in fact, this is also a very normal thing. After all, Pierce Brosnan was not well-known in the movie circle before. Although he mixed well in the TV circle, movies and TV are two different circles at this time.

Even if you are recognized in the TV circle, it does not mean that you can get along well in Hollywood.

"If you decline the invitation from MGM this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to receive an invitation from MGM in the future."

What Tim is most worried about is that if they reject the invitation from MGM, if the other party is narrow-minded, it will be almost impossible to get a film contract from MGM in the future.

"It's not that serious, is it? Will everyone who rejects them be blacklisted? I don't think it's possible. Don't scare yourself."

Pierce Brosnan didn't think that MGM would be so domineering, and they didn't act badly like playing big names, so they certainly wouldn't block themselves.
