Chapter 1149

With a budget of 100 million US dollars to make a war movie, let alone in the history of Chinese film, it has never been seen before and has never been seen before. Even in the world, it is definitely the best war movie.

The film length of the ring trilogy is nearly 10 hours, which costs less than 300 million US dollars in total. When the length of a single film reaches 190 minutes, the budget is less than 100 million US dollars. The 140 minute film length plan of the Flying Tigers that Li Mu is going to invest in has already got a budget of 100 million US dollars. It can be seen how high the production standard is.

And most importantly, most of the scenes of this movie will be filmed in China. The overall price, labor and all costs of China are much lower than those of the United States, so the budget of China has been increased in disguise.

More importantly, Spielberg said to Li Mu, if the screenplay is made to Tom Hanks and Leonardo, they will not refuse the role, and with his relationship with the two people, they will surely give a friendship film reward to the two.

It doesn't count.

Spielberg analysis said that Tom Hanks and Leonardo are very respected by Li Mu, and Li Mu's influence is really powerful now, so powerful that all the stars hate to hold his thighs. This film is invested by Li Mu, and these two people will certainly give Li Mu a face and reduce part of the film pay.

If it goes well, the pay for two people's films can be reduced by $1 to $20 million, and the space is still very large.

Li Mu doesn't care about money, but when the film can be launched. If it is launched, he will immediately put the money into the production team, and then try his best to coordinate various domestic relations, and do his best to support the shooting of the film.

Spielberg promised Li Mu to start three things immediately after returning to the United States:

first, finish the script;

Second, contact Tom Hanks and DiCaprio, let them see the script, and then nod their heads;

Third, negotiate with DreamWorks whether to invest and how much to invest.

As soon as these three things are done, Spielberg will immediately start to set up a team in Hollywood, and then coordinate visas and permits. The first troops will arrive in China as soon as possible, and start to select scenes and make props.

When Spielberg and Anne Hathaway were sent back to the hotel, Li Mu said to brother Liu in his car, "brother Liu, do you know why I would like to spend 100 million dollars to make this movie after listening to Spielberg?"

Elder martial brother Liu nodded and said, "you are to let the people of the world know about China and the history of its sufferings."

Li Mu shook his head: "it's not the history of suffering, but the history of unyielding struggle! I want people all over the world to know the greatness, firmness and indomitability of the Chinese nation, so this movie will never be a movie that highlights suffering, or individual heroism. YY alone can fight the invincible in the world. Instead, I want to make a movie like "blood battle platform * er Zhuang", which can show the backbone of the Chinese nation and save Private Ryan In that way, with a strong commercial element, only the official history can be interpreted in a commercial way, can it be recognized by the whole society! "

……

Li Mu's brain is still excited when he lies down after taking a bath.

Today, for him, it's definitely a day of great harvest. Letao has fallen down, and the e-commerce industry finally has a clear management method to prohibit cheating and fraud. Before Spielberg leaves, he doesn't forget to give himself a gift. If the Flying Tigers film can really achieve the best expectation he wants, then it must be It can become a milestone in the history of Chinese films, and more importantly, when it is watched and accepted in the global scope, it will also greatly improve the views of other people on Chinese and the Chinese nation.

If the investment of 100 million US dollars is really announced to the public, I'm afraid it will frighten the practitioners of Chinese film and television industry and the world's film and television industry. But it's nothing to Li Mu. In his eyes, not everything is to make money. Some things will even lose money, and he will do without hesitation.

This night, Li Mu had been imagining every scene of "Flying Tigers" in his mind. He didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.

Just when Li Mu just fell asleep, his cell phone suddenly rang, and the sudden ringing and vibration of the cell phone quickly broke the peace in the room.

Li Mu, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by the phone call and immediately wanted to scold his mother. However, at first sight, he found that Spielberg was the one calling.

Why does the old man call himself when he doesn't sleep so late? It's not about movies, is it?

Later, Li Mu answered the phone suspiciously.

On the phone, Spielberg said anxiously, "I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Li. Something urgent happened. I may need your help..."

"What happened?" Li Mu can't help frowning. What emergency happens when he sleeps in the hotel in the middle of the night?

Spielberg said: "Annie called me in the evening to say that she was ill. I rushed her to the hospital with a female assistant of the company. But just after she was sent to the hospital, the doctor took her temperature and immediately isolated her. She was not allowed to see us or tell us what happened. Now we know nothing about Annie, so I would like to ask you After all, we have to go to Hong Kong tomorrow morning and return to the United States tomorrow afternoon. "Li Mu asked subconsciously, "what's Annie's symptom?"

"Fever." Spielberg said: "it's very hot, about 104 degrees!"

"My grass!" Li Mu can't help but burst out a rude sentence and blurted out: "104 degrees?! Are you kidding me? "

Spielberg hastily explained, "I'm sorry, 104 degrees Fahrenheit, I'm used to being sorry."

With that, Spielberg thought and said, "it's like 40 degrees Celsius."

"Forty degrees?!" Li Mu suddenly sat up from the bed. Anne Hathaway suddenly had a fever at this time, which made him feel very bad. But for a while, she couldn't say what was wrong.

A moment later, a word - SARS flashed in Li Mu's mind.

He didn't know if Anne Hathaway was infected with SARS, but in his memory, it's the end of 2002. The first case of SARS should have been found for some time. Now it's the time when it spread in Guangdong Province. Moreover, it's too close to the area where the first case of SARS was found

Li Mu is nervous, but he still calmly deliberates on the details. First of all, he is not sure whether Anne Hathaway has a general fever or a fever due to SARS. But the most important thing is that she was isolated by the hospital because of her fever. This news sends a strong signal: even though the people may not know much about SARS, the hospital should have known something And began to deal with it carefully, otherwise it is impossible to isolate a feverish patient.

Is the SARS that I have been waiting for appearing in Shenzhen?

Immediately, Li Mu asked Spielberg, "Steven, which hospital are you in? I'll be right here! "

"That's great!" "We're at the third people's hospital near the hotel, the emergency department," Spielberg said, relieved

"OK, wait for me!"

Li Mu turns over and comes down from the bed. Then he immediately starts to put on his clothes. He cleans himself up as fast as he can. Before going out, he takes a box of 3M masks from his home. This is the one he arranged for people to buy from Hong Kong when he arrived in Shenzhen. It's a precaution for him.

When Li Mu went out in the middle of the night, Wang Yuanlang's three people naturally followed him. Before Li Mu got on the bus, they also followed him to the underground garage. Li Mu saw that these three people also came out, so he simply said to Wang Yuanlang, "brother Wang, let's take a car."

Wang Yuanlang nodded and went into GL8 himself. Li Mu and the other two got on the bus quickly. Just after sitting down in their seats, Li Mu said to Wang Yuanlang, "brother Wang, go to the third courtyard."

Li Mu was in a hurry to go to the hospital in the middle of the night, which surprised Wang Yuanlang, but his professionalism made him not ask any questions, so he immediately drove to the third people's hospital.

GL8 drove all the way to the door of the emergency department of the hospital. Just after the car stopped steadily, Li Mu took out several masks and handed them each one. He put them on and said to the three people around him: "recently, I heard that there seems to be an infectious disease. It's still very strange. Everyone wears a mask in case of one million."

Wang Yuanlang nodded, took over the mask and put it on silently. Zhou Zhan on the copilot opened the mask package and muttered: "it seems that there are rumors of infectious diseases recently. People in the right place are in a state of panic. The disinfectant water and Banlangen in the drugstores in Shenzhen and the surrounding areas are sold out, saying that Banlangen can prevent all kinds of diseases."

Li Mu is surprised to ask: "disinfection water and isatis root? And this rumor? Why haven't I heard of it? "

Wang Yuanlang said: "it's normal for you, Mr. Li, to be so busy at ordinary times and have little contact with the local people. It's not clear. When we first came to Shenzhen, I gave an order to Zhou Zhan. We should pay attention to the surrounding environment and get familiar with the local conditions and customs as soon as possible, so he pays more attention to this."

Li Mu was annoyed. He came to Shenzhen just to wait for SARS. In the end, he didn't catch the best time. Maybe ten and a half days ago, this rumor had spread around the Shenzhen market!

But it's not the time to blame yourself. Anne Hathaway doesn't know what's going on, so he immediately said to the three, "or you can wait in the car. I'll go and have a look first."

"Then what!" "Outside, our only principle is to protect your safety and never let you have any danger," Wang said without hesitation

After a moment's hesitation, Li realized that it was useless for him to say it, so he asked, "put on the mask as soon as possible!"
