　　If you’re in charge of a project, the key to success is getting everyone to want to help you．As a director, I suggest, I gently push the actors in the direction I want them to go．

　　In the 1986 movie Nothing in Common, Jackie Gleason’s character, Max Basner, gets fired from his job as a clothing salesman．The scene, shot on a boat, shows Max’s hopelessness about being out of work．I was looking for some ways that would allow Max to show his feelings．

　　Jackie had far more experience at everything than I did, and at first I was frightened．What could I possibly tell “The Great One” about acting? Out of fear I decided to direct by suggestion, and I sat down with Gleason to talk about the scene．“So Max is sad, right?” I said．Gleason nodded．

　　“And he’s probably still carrying his pens with his name on them－the ones he used to hand out to his customers, right?”

　　Gleason nodded．

　　“So what would you want to do with the pens after you were fired?”

　　He was silent for a moment．“Why don’t I throw them overboard?”

　　I stood up and turned toward the crew．“Hey, everybody, Jackie has a wonderful idea．Let’s shoot it．”

　　After filming the scene, Gleason called me over and said with a smile, “Garry, what kind of wonderful idea am I going to have tomorrow?”

　　You and your team can discover the answers to problems together．When there are no prizes or gold stars for those who get the solution first, you’ll all benefit when everything turns out right．

Details of the latest James Bond film Skyfall have been shown to the public. It comes 50 years to the day after actor Sean Connery first played Bond — the superspy in Dr No.
The new film, known at the moment only as Bond 23, will be the third to star Daniel Craig as the secretagent (特工). Other names in the cast include Albert Finney, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes.
British film-maker Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar for American Beauty, will direct the latest adventure.
Ajay Chowdhury, from the James Bond International Fan Club, said, “Daniel Craig’s third time as 007 has been looked forward to by Bond fans around the world. The fans have been made to wait extra long for this film since the global economiccrisis (经济危机) delayed the film for some time.”
“Mendes has an unusual way of directing, and with the acting gift and the precedent (先例) set by the previous two films in which Craig played Bond, Skyfall promises a Bond film where the sky may not be the limit.”
It is reported that the film will send 007 to South Africa and India to hunt for a criminal (犯罪的) organization. Other reported locations for filming include Duntrune Castle, near Lochgilphead in Argyll, Scotland, which is believed to be the spy’s home.
The film is set to be released in the UK this October.
Craig’ s performance as Bond gave new life to the film series, leading to the highest ever 007 box office (票房) takings of ￡367 million for his role in Casino Royale in 2006. Quantum of Solace, the most recent film in the series released in 2008, made ￡353 million.
【小题1】According to the text, who will play Bond in film Skyfall?
