Chapter 268 - MGM's Reserved Tracks (3-in-1 Chapter)

The filming of Pirates of the Caribbean 3 ended at the end of the year, and on the New Year's Day of '09, Lin Mingyang had a rare reunion with his family. Grandpa still had a stern face, but there were a few more points of concern between his tones; Mother Catherine always liked to care about Lin Mingyang's living situation at the dinner table, and in order to show her indignation towards her son for not coming home for a long period of time, she was just trying to add food to Lin Mingyang's plate one by one in addition to her talking; Father interjected once in a while, and most of the things he asked were about Lin Mingyang's work.

The happy feeling of the family made Lin Mingyang not only unconsciously recovered the feeling of attachment, if not for MGM's New Year's meeting, he would have stayed at home for a few more days.

Participating in the meeting of the senior management, each person in front of a just counted out the financial statements, the data on the face of each participant is pleased. In the general environment of the economic crisis, the vast majority of Hollywood movie company's profits have declined to varying degrees, MGM doubled its earnings can be said to be unique. This will not only bring the executives here a considerable number of bonuses, but also for MGM's stock price is also a great benefit.

Lin Mingyang sat at the head of the conference room, and the expressions of all the people at the conference table were unobstructed. Below the executives are all joyful, sitting on the left hand side of Lin Mingyang's Eckes is still calm, and not like the men as cheering, but the shallow smile at the corner of his mouth will still be his inner complacency to the "betrayal".

Throughout the conference room, probably only sitting on Lin Mingyang's right hand side of the position of Carson Berg in the face of the fact that the huge profits can still maintain enough calm, because he and his animation company is only recently joined MGM. He had nothing to do with the high scores on the excellent "report card".

Of course, Carsonberg was also surprised by MGM's staggering profit figures last year. Looking at the other people in the office excited joy, while his own people are silent, Kassenberg secretly determined to come up with one or two sold animated films in the year, this time next year he can also in front of the other people to raise their eyebrows.

With money in hand, everyone was thinking about how to celebrate, only Lin Mingyang was thinking about how to spend the money. Ecks had also noticed the thoughtful expression on Lin Ming Yang's face after his initial complacency had passed. He gently tapped the table with his finger, and the people below immediately fell silent. Everyone thought that he had something to say, but Ecks cleared his throat but came up with a sentence.

"Everyone be quiet, Mr. Felix has something to say!"

Everyone's gazes turned to Lin Mingyang with his words, Ecks' hand caught Lin Mingyang a little off guard, he visibly froze for a moment before speaking stiffly, "Having achieved such a performance, everyone is very happy, and I'm also very happy..."

Everyone did not expect that the expected wonderful speech actually turned into this kind of un-nutritious spiel, just as everyone was looking at each other in dismay, Lin Mingyang suddenly turned his words around, "According to my personal and unpromising judgment, the economic situation of the United States is also difficult to fundamentally reverse this year, and with the spreading of the economic crisis, the global economy will be plunged into a trough, we will be face an even harsher competitive environment than last year..."

Lin Mingyang pointed his finger at the financial statement that was placed in front of him, "The splendor on this has already become the past, and you all have to start working hard for this year's success...What new plans do you all have on hand right now, you can take them out now for everyone to discuss!"

Everyone in the conference room fell into a collective silence, Lin Ming Yang's gaze swept past their faces one by one, everyone put their heads down, just now they were so focused on being happy, in their haste where did they care to prepare any new plans. When Lin Mingyang asked this, everyone was collectively dumbfounded.

The atmosphere in the conference room became a bit awkward, Ecks was about to say a few other words to ease the atmosphere when Lin Ming Yang suddenly pushed his chair away and stood up.

Lin Ming Yang's eyes turned around the conference room again, still no one had spoken, at this time he leaned forward slightly, both hands propped up on the conference table, his eyes looking around at the crowd, "Since everyone doesn't have any plans, then I'll talk about my plan then!"

After standing up straight, Lin Ming Yang clasped his hands and began to speak eloquently, "This year, I plan to shoot just one movie, MGM and Blizzard have already reached a cooperative intent, the filming of the movie version of Warcraft will start within the year, with a planned investment of 500 million dollars!"

This statement, the conference room immediately exploded, 500 million dollars to shoot a movie is a what kind of concept, in Hollywood investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in the movie is already known as a large sum of money, Lin Mingyang a movie investment enough to spend the cost of four big production movies, as long as the first time to hear the news of the people, the mouth grows big.

No one would be stupid enough to think that Lin Ming Yang was joking, the incomparably serious expression on his face and the grave expression of Ecks beside him were enough to show the authenticity of this matter. After a brief exchange of words, the conference room was once again quiet.

Unlike the situation just now, the atmosphere in the conference room at this time became a little weird, just now everyone was not sure what to say, now everyone is not sure where to start. Carsonberg has been coldly watching everything that happened in the conference room, the investment of 500 million dollars really shocked him.

James Cameron is in the production of the "God film", although the specific amount of investment to the outside world has been kept secret, but in the industry this is not a profound secret, Fox began to give Cameron about 200 million dollars, and then MGM added a sum of money, the number of estimates is not under Fox, which means that Cameron's new film cost $50 million. That means Cameron's new movie will cost at least $400 million.

Lin Mingyang put forward the shooting plan of 500 million dollars, Kassenberg has been thinking, Lin Mingyang ready to shoot the film should have a great connection with Cameron's new film in production, but exactly 500 million dollars to shoot what kind of movie, he did not have any accurate reference in his heart, anyway, Lin Mingyang's plan in his eyes is a word: crazy!

Has been "hung out to dry" on the side of the Eckles finally coughed, "I add, the investment in this movie is phased, the entire production process will last a long period of time, a conservative estimate, the film will take at least two years to be completed. "

When Ecks said this, the others in the conference room finally breathed a sigh of relief. We are most worried about this movie in one breath after a large amount of money, the entire company's capital chain will become very tight, an accident may be a total loss. MGM's crisis before Lin Mingyang's ownership was a lesson from the past, and the veteran employees who had experienced that period still had palpitations about the debt and bankruptcy crisis at that time.

In the conference room, the previous bustling atmosphere had already disappeared, looking at the pitiful look of everyone's heart, Ecks could only wave his hand helplessly, "Since everyone is still not ready, then today's topic we'll leave it until three days later to continue the discussion, and by that time, I hope that all of you will be able to come up with a clear program... "

After he finished speaking he glanced at Lin Ming Yang whose face was cloudy and gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, "Meeting adjourned!"

The company's executives left in twos and threes, Carsonberg was originally prepared to stay and talk to Lin Ming Yang, but he saw that Ecks also had no intention of leaving, and in his heart he estimated that the two should have something to talk about. Thinking that he was not in a hurry with the matter at hand, Kassenberg ended up giving the opportunity to Eckles.

After Kassenberg got up and left, only Lin Mingyang and Eckles were left in the conference room.

The assistant soon brought two steaming cups of coffee, Ecks picked up one cup himself and handed the other to Lin Mingyang. "Rarely have I seen you with such a serious expression during a meeting, have you encountered anything unhappy recently?"

"Have I?" Lin Mingyang unconsciously pinched his chin and then moved his face. "It should be because I didn't sleep well last night, my expression was a bit stiff when I woke up this morning, was I scary just now?"

The coffee that Ecks drank in his mouth almost spewed out, he squeezed and pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, "I mean, I've never seen you show this kind of aggressiveness, you've subdued the entire conference room, if you can often scare them like this in the future, the company's management side of the work will surely go a lot smoother! "

Lin Ming Yang shrugged his shoulders, "It's just this one time today, after a while when 'Warcraft' starts shooting, I won't have that much time to attend company meetings of all sizes, so you'd better figure it out on your own by then!"

Ecks said without worry: "Cameron took more than three years to shoot Avatar, and now it's not even finished production, 'Warcraft' if you really shoot it according to your idea, it's not a matter of one or two years to be able to finish it."

"Cameron is experimenting with new technology while filming, I am directly taking his mature technology and applying it, in terms of the production cycle, it definitely won't take him that long."

Ecks looked at Lin Ming Yang very seriously, "You and Cameron are different, he can devote himself to the production of the movie regardless, but you obviously can't do it like him, a lot of things on the company's side need to be decided by you."

Lin Ming Yang waved his hand in a carefree manner, "You don't have to worry about this, the post-production of this type of movie is the most time consuming, the pre-production will not take up too much time, in three months' time, I will be able to handle this movie, I will leave the rest of the things to a more professional person to be in charge of completing."

"Alright, I won't intervene in this matter, you can do whatever you want!" Ecks knew that Lin Ming Yang's resolve had been made up, he said how much more Lin Ming Yang would definitely not listen, anyway, three months was considered an acceptable result.

Originally thinking that it would take a lot of effort to convince Ecks, he didn't expect the other party to agree so readily, Lin Ming Yang always felt that there was a problem. In order to further test the waters, he then put forward an even more "excessive" request: "I hope the movie can start shooting at the end of January..."

"There's no rush!" At this time, Axe's fox tail finally revealed itself, "I know this movie is very important, but I want to discuss with you, can we put the shooting of 'Warcraft' after March."

Lin Ming Yang stood up with a miso, "Why?"

"Don't get excited first, am I not discussing this with you?" Ecks pressed Lin Ming Yang back into his chair, "Warcraft possesses so much money and the shooting cycle is so long, there's no need for me to explain to you that you can't put your eggs in one basket, MGM is expected to release 5-6 big production movies in a few years, and right now there's one just waiting to be shot!"

"You didn't mention this just now..." Lin Ming Yang looked at Ecks with a puzzled face, "You've already made plans to shoot the new movie behind my back?"

Ecks said with a bitter smile, "It's not that I'm going behind your back, but you've never taken the initiative to care about this aspect of things!"

With a single sentence, Ecks hit his dead center, Lin Ming Yang rather awkwardly sat down in his own chair and moved his butt, "Alright, then tell me, what kind of origin does this new film have that it has to make 'Warcraft' make way for it?"

"How many sequels can come out of Warcraft if it's made successfully?" Eckles asked rhetorically, then said rather smugly, "The movie I'm talking about is a holdover from MGM, since 1962, the series has been released at an average rate of one episode every two years, with six starring roles changed before and after, and it's popular to this day..."

"You're talking about the James Bond series?" Lin Mingyang suddenly came to his senses, not long after the 21st James Bond movie was released, MGM fell into a bankruptcy crisis. After Lin Ming Yang had joined MGM, the series had been put on hold.

Although a product of the Cold War, James Bond films are also a highly programmed product of the Hollywood film industry, and a large part of their appeal comes from the repetitive design of the sequences and the expression of the characters. So watching 007 movies has also become a habit, once every two years people sit in the cinema expecting the same few things, the opening scene that is into the climax of the chase, fantastic title and theme song, Dr. Q's fresh weapons, conspiracy behind the conspiracy, fall in love with the Bond girl, the personality of the good anti-one... People like hypnosis to watch James Bond to go over and over again to thwart his enemies, who by and large have one very deadly trait in common: none of them recognize the British spy that everyone on earth knows.

Standing in the past, Lin Mingyang was somewhat disdainful of this kind of assembly-line movie, but ritualized activities also have the advantage of making meaning out of meaningless things. 007 movies have established their entertainment value in constant self-repeat, Bond came from the Cold War, and his opponents were transformed from his Soviet counterparts into a wide variety of terrorists and rich people, and by the end of the last century, he was able to make his own movies. By the end of the last century, he had become less of a spy and more of a counter-terrorist agent.

"So our Bond is going to have a new mission?" Although Lin Mingyang recognized Ecks' statement, the tone of his voice had clearly excluded himself.

"According to the past practice, a James Bond movie should be released once every 2 years, it's now been 2 years since the release of the last 'Casino Royale', if MGM doesn't want to lose this tradition, making a new James Bond movie is already imminent, but right now, we don't have a script, a director, or an actor on hand... "

Eckles leaned forward as he spoke, "The bottom line is that this is the first James Bond movie you've released since accepting MGM, and it's meant to be more than just a continuation of a tradition, it's also in a way a test of your abilities as the new boss."

"It's that serious?" Lin Ming Yang frowned, a James Bond movie, he hadn't thought that much about it, but Ecks did have a few points in what he said, this matter had to be taken seriously.

Ecks nodded seriously, "Not only is the audience looking forward to it, my other Hollywood studios are also waiting for this movie, either we step them down hard with this movie, or we get stepped on hard by them because of this movie!"

After realizing the importance of the matter, Lin Ming Yang quickly made a decision, "Well, I'll write this script!"

"And then?" Ecks asked rather expectantly.

The two stared at each other wide-eyed in the conference room for half a day before Ecks finally couldn't help but ask, "That's it?"

Lin Mingyang asked strangely, "Then what else do you want me to do?"

"Starring!" Exasperated, Ecks said, "Haven't you always had a secret agent complex? Is there another secret agent in the world more famous and challenging than James Bond?"

Lin Mingyang immediately asked back, "Do you think James Bond can be played by just anyone?"

Ecks winked wryly at Lin Ming Yang, "So yeah, I picked and chose carefully, considered and considered, and in the end, I still think you're the most suitable!"

Lin Mingyang grunted in dismay, realizing that he had fallen into Eckles' trap from the very beginning.The James Bond series of movies certainly wasn't for everyone, or else there wouldn't have been only six actors who had interpreted the legendary secret agent's tumultuous career over the course of 46 years.

Sean Connery made such an impression on audiences around the world as the first 007 agent, and set the tone for James Bond's portrayal for a time, that for a long time Sean Connery and James Bond co-existed as equals. This coexistence was so strong that Connery's replacement, George Lazenby, said goodbye to the James Bond franchise immediately after starring in The Brave and the Bold, and Connery had to return to the screen to star again in The Diamond Party as an act of revenge.

The subsequent success of Roger Moore in replacing Sean Connery as the longest-running Bond spokesman was also due in large part to his continuation of Connery's Bond portrayal. And from Timothy Dalton onwards, the 007 movies have begun to gradually try to modify the Bond image, Timothy played Bond cold and unsympathetic, became a killing machine to avenge the death of his best friend, this is the first Bond driven by hatred to the point of no smile.

Unfortunately, Timothy's version of James Bond is in a very awkward situation, this era of James Bond series of films are gradually shifting from the traditional spy drama to action drama to dominate the transition period, in the two movies he starred in, the audience can still see on the one hand, the shadow of the old storyline, on the other hand, you can see the new type of hearty action fights, but unfortunately he neither Sean Connery's kind of flamboyance, nor the lack of Roger Moore's kind of flamboyance. Unfortunately, he has neither the kind of Sean Connery's flamboyance, but also lacks Roger Moore's kind of dashing, not to mention the obvious kind of contemporaneous action agile hands, so the Bond fans away from the theater more and more far, 007 shooting intervals have not been as frequent as a yearly one in the period of Connery.

Pierce Brosnan's appearance to save the 007 series of films, "GoldenEye" of the great success of the past Bond fans once again pulled back to the theater, from the beginning of this film, Bond film began to formally develop into a market to meet the needs of the public at the same time, but also to cater to the public taste of the action film, which relies on a large number of action sequences and blast scenes to stimulate the viewer's adrenaline, bringing a strong visual impact at the same time but also It relies on a large number of action scenes and blasting scenes to stimulate the audience's adrenaline, bringing a strong visual impact while not forgetting the traditional 007's flirtatious melancholy, and the flirting scene between Pierce Brosnan and the Bond girl has successfully surpassed the Connery's version of Bond, which has been recognized by the audience.

Throughout Brosnan's four 007 films, basically can be written into the history books alongside the classic action films of his contemporaries, so Brosnan's version of James Bond has undeniably swept the world's theaters.

After such a process of development and change, it is not easy for the legendary agent to seek newer breakthroughs. The arrival of the information age has made the traditional US-Soviet Cold War story script no longer has market appeal, if according to Ian Fleming's novels, this old agent born in 1922 obviously can not meet the 21st century is still young so a logic. At this moment, the subversion of Bond's image and story becomes an inevitable and important issue.

007 films from the "Casino Royale" began to seek self-breakthrough, the most direct sign is Daniel Craig completely different from his predecessor's appearance temperament and behavior patterns. From the market reflection, "Casino Royale" for Bond's subversion is very successful, the former gentle and elegant British gentleman into a blood-filled tender hero, he began to fight for his life, began to lose his mind for love, he is no longer like the past as everywhere, he became a warrior, a loyal to the love of the warrior.

"For a long time, although on the screen we see is the secret agent Bond, but subconsciously we can not identify with this is a person, in the eyes of more people, Bond is a through more than 40 years of history change style still long lasting god, his symbolic significance is greater than his specific image. This situation has continued until the "Casino Royale", screenwriter Martin Campbell to restore the symbol into a specific person, his behavior began to have a continuity and timeline, we can finally feel his heart of time washed under the emotional deposits. He transformed Bond from an emotionally charged cold-blooded agent into a man of nature who walks the earth for love, a breakthrough that almost evolved into self-denial, and it turns out he succeeded!"

While flat-out advocating for Lin Ming Yang to take on the role of the new James Bond, Echolls was full of praise for the cast and director of Casino Royale in his remarks, an inconsistency that just about allowed Lin Ming Yang to grab an excuse to fight back.

"Then let Martin Campbell go on to be the director and Daniel Craig stay on as the valiant and daring Bond...the script will be written by me, so won't all the problems be solved?"

"I spoke to Martin Campbell and he made two requests of me." Eckles was prepared for this, "The first is to replace Daniel Craig, and the second is for you to star as the new James Bond!"

"Why?" This was the second time Lin Ming Yang had asked such a question.

"Martin Campbell actually did an experiment with Daniel Craig in 'Casino Royale', and the results proved that his ideas and thoughts were correct. Daniel Craig's performance broke the equivocal relationship between James Bond and Brosnan, but his image had not yet been fully established in the minds of the fans, and that's when now that Martin Campbell has a better choice, the comparison of the advantages between you and Daniel Craig is self-evident...for a director of the James Bond series, what could be better than having an Oscar-winning James Bond?"

Ecks had come up with a lot of evidence to back up his claims, but Lin Mingyang had found something wrong from the light that flickered out of the corner of his eye from time to time. As a director, Martin Campbell shouldn't be arrogant enough to name the chairman of MGM for a certain role.

"Is this really a request from Martin Campbell himself?"

Lin Mingyang's question made Eckles' hot heart instantly cool down halfway, he knew that his "trick" had already been recognized by Lin Mingyang, so he gritted his teeth and simply said what he really thought.

"Well, Martin Campbell just flowed this idea, and I hope that you can play a vital role in this movie, just the screenwriter is far from enough... The current MGM can accept failure, but failure can never happen to the 007 series of movies, with you as Bond, at least we will not lose at the box office! "

Ecks admitted his lies quite frankly, Lin Mingyang didn't blame him, but he didn't explicitly agree either.

"Martin Campbell is a very thoughtful director, but this point is precisely where I am most worried, thoughtful directors make movies in the sky, but tend to do things without rules and regulations, I always feel that the 'Battle of Casino Royale' is just the beginning, if he is allowed to continue to serve as the director of the film, in this James Bond movie, he is expected to have even more out of the ordinary moves. My guess is that he's already trying to subvert not just Bond's image, but the entire Bond franchise."

The look of worry on Ecks' face grew heavier, but Lin Ming Yang had a different view on this, "The same story has been made for more than 20 movies, so if it wasn't subverted, directors would have run out of inspiration to use a long time ago."

"When subversion reaches a certain height, traditional images and patterns are bound to die gradually, and such a situation is obviously something Bond fans don't want to see; subversion has indeed injected a constant stream of vitality into the James Bond film series, but here's the question: when Bond really falls in love with a woman, is he still Bond? Is Bond still Bond when he doesn't say 'I'm Bond, James Bond'?"

Lin Mingyang's thoughts were more direct than Eckles': "Even if I were to star as Bond, I may not be able to bring about the essential changes to the movie as you expect, so if it's not possible, then we'll change the director!"

Ecks shook his head, "Changing a director doesn't necessarily mean that you can do better than Martin Campbell, the thing that's worse than failure in this world is mediocrity, it's like a gamble, I'm worried that Martin Campbell will fail because he's more likely to succeed than anyone else, in your place, you should have made the same choice."

"That's not quite the same as your usual conservative style!" Although Lin Ming Yang said this, he was still seriously pondering over the words that Ecks had just said in his heart.

Ecks smiled slightly, "After staying with you, a guy who's crazy as hell, for a long time, it's inevitable that you'll get some vices on you!"

"You saying that makes me feel accomplished, but it seems like we've gone too far!" Lin Mingyang clasped his hands, "You haven't completely convinced me yet!"

"Then let's start with 'Casino Royale', the biggest feature of Hollywood action movies in the 21st century is the arrival of the era of rapid editing, 'Casino Royale' has far surpassed the previous Bond movies in terms of the importance it places on action sequences, the blasting and rapid editing has injected a whole new vitality into the new action movies of the 21st century, bringing a strong visual impact at the while also gradually weakening the movie's storytelling."

"The most fatal weakness of 'Casino Royale' is in the narrative, because of the articulation problem, the first half of the movie is basically rushing to explain the plot, and there is no plot of Bond's great reversal of fortune, a breath of flat down, not very enjoyable. Take 007 such a spy movie, the requirements for the script also become higher, how to find a reasonable balance between action scenes and plot, which will inevitably become the top priority of the 007 sequel. That's why I want you to write this script."

"Okay, I'll write the script, but why must we replace Bond's casting?"

Lin Mingyang's question was justified by his own reasoning, because despite its mixed reputation, "Casino Royale" still sold $600 million worldwide, and most of the audience recognized this brown version of Bond more than they expected.

"Daniel Craig's portrayal is in fact far from what people imagine Bond to be, and out of respect for tradition, I think you'd be a better choice to play Bond than Daniel Craig. As for the action scene performance, that kind of fist-to-flesh hardcore fighting happens to be what you are good at, I know you didn't have much fun in Pirates of the Caribbean 3, if I remember correctly, you haven't attempted this kind of performance for a long time, and if you add in a great parkour sequence...I mean you know what I mean!"

What Ecks said in front of him was unattractive to Lin Ming Yang, but the conception behind it made his eyes light up. It had been a long time since he had moved his muscles, so Lin Ming Yang did have some itchy hands.

"There's no need for the movie's plot to dovetail with the previous episode, right?"

When Lin Ming Yang asked this, Ecks knew that he had his heart set on it, and he nodded without moving, "Since we chose to change the actors, the plot of course has to start all over again, it's a convention of James Bond movies."

"What about the Bond girl?"

With Ecks' understanding of Lin Ming Yang, once he started caring about the lead actress, then the lead role was a done deal in all likelihood.

Lin Ming Yang's "bad habit" of picking female leads had long been no secret in Hollywood, his criteria for accepting a movie was first to read the script, second to care about the female lead, and lastly to consider the director's factors. Of course, with the change in status, his "bad habits" has slowly become a rightful power.

Lin Mingyang certainly did not expect that this detail, which he had overlooked, would become a breakthrough for Eckles to guess his mind.

"I'm glad you finally asked this question, in fact I had prepared it for you long ago!" Ecks grabbed the folder he had placed on the conference table earlier in one hand, and it was only then that Lin Ming Yang remembered that Ecks hadn't opened that folder during the entire conference.

Waiting to see clearly what was contained in Ecks' folder, Lin Ming Yang's long and wide mouth already illustrated his inner surprise at this moment. He pointed to the stack of sexy three-pointed photo shoots of female stars in the folder, "So you like to collect this?"

Ecks glanced at Lin Ming Yang without any good humor, "What are you talking about, these are all for you!"

"For me?" Lin Ming Yang's finger pointing inwards almost didn't poke his tongue.

"Didn't you ask about the Bond girl?" Ecks picked up the photo in his hand and waved it in front of Lin Ming Yang, "This is a photo of the top 20 on the latest list of sexy Hollywood actresses, and your co-star was born from among them!"

Lin Ming Yang was momentarily speechless, "But I haven't even written the script yet..."

Ecks waved his hand with disinterest, "This I know, according to the general practice, at least two more representative Bond girls should appear in a James Bond movie, I remember that the most one seems to have 4. The specific roles are of course determined by you, but we can narrow it down a bit right now, or you can even tailor them according to your favorite actresses! roles."

"What exactly do you mean?" Lin Mingyang always felt as if Ecks had something in his words.

Ecks purposely pretended not to hear as he pulled out one of the photos and said to himself after taking a look at it, "Scarlett Johansson, a first-class beauty, should be very suitable as a Bond girl..."

Because his relationship with Scarlett was still hidden from Ecks, at this time Lin Ming Yang didn't say anything.

Ecks casually picked up another photo, "Actually, Megan is not bad either, it's just a pity that she just finished acting in Transformers, otherwise..."

Seeing that Lin Ming Yang was unmoved, Ecks began to patiently take the photos in his hand and introduce them one by one, when he heard Eva Longoria's name, Lin Ming Yang finally couldn't help himself.

"Have you ever seen a Bond girl who is less than one meter six in height?"

Ecks said with some intent, "But Eva is really good, she's a stunning beauty in the minds of many mature men, but height is indeed a problem, but the status of a Bond girl doesn't necessarily have to be a female agent for it to work!"

Lin Ming Yang impatiently interrupted his sentiments, "You'd better just bring me the top ranked one!"

Ecks gave Lin Ming Yang a thumbs up, "Jessica Bell, you have a good eye!"
