作为一个知名人物,007一直都显得非常枯燥乏味。那么为何特许经营的相关系列影片仍流行不衰?20世纪50年代初期,居住在牙买加的英国人伊恩·弗莱明正在撰写一本间谍小说。正如他10年后对《纽约客》周刊所说,他当时把主要人物构想成“一个经历各种事件却极其乏味、无趣的男人”。弗莱明想为其找到一个与之相称的无聊名字,并在自己的书架上发现了它——用野外指南《西印度群岛的鸟类》的作者、鸟类学家詹姆斯·邦德的名字来命名。上述双音节词本身不具特色,也没有表明什么含义,这暗示出为何该虚构的英国特工成为了有史以来上演时间最长的系列影片的中心人物。
As a famous figure, 007 has always seemed very boring. So why the franchise-related films are still popular? In the early 1950s, Ian Fleming, an Englishman living in Jamaica, was writing a spy novel. As he told New Yorker Weekly 10 years later, he conceived the main character as “a man who is extremely tedious and boring in all kinds of events.” Fleming wanted to find a boring name for him and found it on his shelves - with the name of the ornithologist James Bond, the author of the field guide “Birds of the West Indies” To name. The disyllabic word itself is not distinctive and does not indicate what it means, suggesting why the imaginary British agent became the central figure in the longest running series of films ever made.
