Chapter 1147

Hearing that Spielberg had already chosen a topic, Li Mu immediately became interested and asked, "Steven, what part of the history of the Chinese Anti Japanese war did you choose?"

"I think it's very touching that general Chennault led the American pilots to form the Flying Tigers in China, not only that the American Flying Tigers fought against the Japanese Fascists in China, but also that the Chinese Flying Tigers fought bravely against the Japanese army," Spielberg said The real historical events of the Flying Tigers of the United States and Japan fighting against fascism, as well as part of the film and television art processing of the performance, to create a 140 minute movie. "

Li Mu, as a Chinese, is very clear about the story of the Flying Tigers. He is also very clear about the history of the flying tigers, not only the story of general Chennault of the United States leading American pilots to volunteer to support the Chinese Anti Japanese War, but also many touching stories about the local flying tigers of China, including many unknown national heroes, but he did not It's amazing that Spielberg, an American, even knew the story of the Flying Tigers in China. It seems that the director's ability to collect and explore clues is really different from ordinary people.

Li Mu exclaimed, "Steven, I like your selection and main line setting very much. I wonder if I can give you a more detailed introduction?"

Spielberg nodded and said, "first of all, the story should start from Chennault. In order to facilitate your substitution, you can imagine Tom Hanks as Chennault. If the film is determined, we will not have no chance to cast Tom Hanks."

Li Mu smiled: "Tom Hanks's image is really suitable for hardline soldiers, especially those in World War II."

Spielberg said with a smile: "the story first tells how Chennault came to China. According to his personal experience, he first retired and then came to China. He was employed as a instructor in an aviation school in Hangzhou. During this period, he trained many famous Ace Pilots among the local pilots in China. According to my understanding, one of them is very famous Liu Zhesheng, the king of the pilots

Li Mu nodded: "there is such a hero martyr. He should have received Chennault's training in 36 years."

Spielberg said with a smile, "then the information I checked should be correct."

As he said, he continued: "the story starts from Chennault's coming to China, until he became a instructor of Huaxia aviation school and trained a group of native talents. In this part, we basically follow the history, only male No. 2. In this period of history, the No.2 man appeared. He was a local Flying Tiger player in China. He was Chennault's favorite student and the strongest flying tiger team in China. "Br >

" then the Lugouqiao Incident broke out, and eight years of Anti Japanese war began in China. Chennault witnessed the crimes committed by Japanese invaders to the Chinese people, including the No.2 man The process of fighting with the Japanese army in the long air, and their huge disadvantages in scale and aircraft performance against the Japanese air force strengthened his determination to help Huaxia, whose air force is extremely weak, fight against the Japanese aggressor. The story is the first big paragraph here. "

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help asking: "what about the second paragraph?"

Spielberg said with a smile: "there needs to be a transition between the first and the second paragraphs. This part of the transition is the process of Chennault's return to the United States in 1940 to recruit pilots for the Flying Tigers. In this process, the plot will temporarily leave China, leave the battlefield and jump to the United States, which has not been affected by the war At this time, our man number three is coming out. "

Li Mu asked tentatively, "man 1 is Chennault, man 2 is a Chinese native Flying Tiger player, so man 3 should be an American Flying Tiger player, right?"

Spielberg said with a smile, "that's right! The man number two is extremely decent and patriotic. His national hatred makes him focus on fighting against the Japanese invaders. In this case, the man number three needs to have an opposite with him. So I think the man number three should be a young, unruly American young man who only wants to fly a plane, hunt for strange things and pursue beautiful girls every day. This young man is totally unruly Discipline, every day with a cigarette, danger Lang, but it is a flight club, the most talented, the best pilot

Speaking of this, Spielberg added: "you can substitute the image of Leonardo in Titanic for the pilot."

Li Mu laughs and nods. Spielberg deserves to be a big director. In a word, the picture in his mind is much more specific.

Spielberg went on to say: "the first man is interested in the strength of the third man. He wants to invite him to join his flying tigers and go to China to fight against the Japanese invaders, but the third man is not interested at all. He said foolishly that the war has nothing to do with him. There are only three things in his life: airplanes, cigarettes and women, so he will not accept the invitation of the first man Please. "

"In order to achieve this goal, man one asked for a flight contest with man three. If man one lost, he would give man three 1000 dollars. If man three lost, he would come to China with man one to join the Flying Tigers until the end of World War II.""The third man was extremely conceited. He fought with the first man for money and face, but he failed to win. At last, he was willing to gamble and concede defeat. With nearly 100 other pilots, he followed the first man to China."

With these words, Spielberg looked at Li Mu and said, "this is the transition part I said."

Li Mu nodded: "very good. The American Flying Tigers are going to the battlefield. I'm all boiling with blood. I've finished the first paragraph and the transition paragraph. Is it time to say the second paragraph?"

Spielberg nodded and said: "in the second paragraph, the third man followed the first man to China, officially joined the flying tiger team, and met the second man. They became comrades in arms. In this way, male two and male three can show a very strong contrast in human settings, such as: a Chinese face, an American face; a ultra decent, a bohemian; a child who has no time to care about her love, but one who is thinking about pursuing beautiful girls all day; a flying plane is to protect the country, a flying plane is to hunt for strange money, and there is almost no opposition in human settings Not in. "

"Under Chennault's command, these two men became comrades who fought side by side. At first, the character conflict would be very strong. But with the baptism of the war, in the end, the third man realized the crime of the Japanese aggressor, realized that he was not fighting for the sake of curiosity and money, but for the sake of justice. During this period, the third man always looked down on him The two men saved the life of the third man in an air battle. Then the two men, totally different from each other, turned out to be the closest comrades in arms and fought side by side. "

Speaking of this, Spielberg added: "I'm also going to add two relatively weak female roles here. An American female nurse in the flying tiger team likes the unsmiling Man 2, while the man 3 falls in love with the Chinese peasant girl who hides him and helps him escape the Japanese pursuit after a plane crash and parachute jump. Then, the man 3 starts to treat the peasant girl Women have launched a fierce pursuit, and American female nurses have also begun to show their love for male number two. "

"The coquettish Chinese girl is trying to avoid the enthusiastic man-3. The man-2, who takes national hatred as everything, knows the love of the American female nurses and is clearly moved by her own heart, but takes Anti Japanese as her duty and dare not give any positive response until she once fought against the air force of the Japanese aggressors. The man-2 and the man-3 fought side by side. In the fierce battle, the man-2 plane was killed The Japanese wounded, the third man desperate to protect his parachute, but the second man at this time chest has been hit by the Japanese plane machine gun

"On the verge of death, man 2 gave up parachuting, said goodbye to man 3 through the radio, and asked him to help tell the American female nurse that he also liked her very much, but it's a pity that the time for the two people to know each other is too bad. If in peacetime, he must marry her as his wife. After that, man 2 pulled up the injured plane and rushed to the formation of the Japanese plane, before being shot down by the Japanese Army At last, a Japanese fighter plane was shot down

"The grieved Man 3 and other comrades beat back the Japanese army, but the man 2 plane has crashed. He returned home with tears. The female nurses heard about the tragic battle on the front line, rushed to the runway and looked forward to seeing the man 2 plane land, but the last one landed was the man 3 plane. After landing, he told the female nurses that the man 2 had died and the female nurses wept silently 。”

"At the end of the story, Chennault's Flying Tigers disbanded, and the third man was about to return to the United States. Before he left, he went to find the peasant girl who had saved him but had been hiding from him. However, he found that the whole village where she lived had been destroyed by the Japanese army. The third man thought that she had passed away, and cried sadly in the ruins of her home. Unexpectedly, the girl was suddenly alone He appeared in front of him; "

" he was so excited that he took the initiative to hold her and said that I love you in English. The peasant girl could not understand her, but did not push him away. Instead, he left tears in his arms. In Chinese, he said that her parents were killed by the Japanese. She was the only one in the family, and he could not understand him. He just said repeatedly in poor Chinese: follow me, follow me The peasant girl understood him, hesitated a little, and nodded

"The third man hugged her and cried like a child. Then the second part ended."

When Li Mu heard this, his eyes were already a little sore. He didn't expect that Spielberg just described a fictional story based on the real history with words. What's more, the young Anne Hathaway had heard her eyes were red, and her tears could even be seen turning in her eyes.

No one spoke. Looking at Spielberg, he took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and then said, "the end of the story is divided into two scenes. The first scene: on the side of the ship returning to the United States, the camera scanned the man one, and the faces of many American flying tigers. They lay on the side of the ship and looked at the original farther shore without saying a word. That's what they used to do After that, when the camera sweeps over the American female nurses, they stop a little bit, tears silently, and take out a picture carefully from their pocket. The picture is the picture of the second man on the honor list of the aviation school, and the second man is taken by her after his death;

"then, the camera sweeps over her to the third man, and the third man's eyes are red , looking at the land of China, it seems that he is remembering his comrades in arms. Then, the camera passes him, beside him, is the peasant girl who lost her parents. The girl red eyes, slowly nestles on his shoulder, and then the camera rises, further and further... ""Act two: in the summer of 1999, an American old man and an American old lady, accompanied by a Chinese old lady and several mixed race children, came to China. They came to a martyr cemetery in the suburb of Southwest spring city;" br >

"standing in front of a tombstone, the American old man and the Chinese old lady clasped their fingers and looked at the pictures on the tombstone carefully, while the tombstone Extremely lonely as like as two peas, the photos of the old man were two, and even the pictures were exactly the same as the pictures taken by the American nurses; "

" at this time, the two old women who were alone in the street trembled and carefully pulled out a yellow and black photograph, which was like the photo on the tombstone. Then the old man's wrinkled eyes streamed down two lines. Tears, tears in the old man's wrinkled face slowly slide down, in the drop in front of the tombstone at that moment, the whole play end......
