Chapter 1795

"Flying Tigers" is a film that has been unanimously approved by everyone when it was reviewed internally.

Li Mu also felt that the complete version of the film finally presented exceeded his expectation of the film.

It has to be admitted that Spielberg's ability to make films is indeed very strong. Rhythm, lens, color, picture and even lines are all handled impeccably.

After watching the film, Li Mu immediately decided to submit the film to radio and television for examination through the image of Makino.

At the same time, he invited more people to participate in the internal film viewing of Muye technology.

Including some of his classmates in the National People's Congress and Zhao Ziqiu, who is still at school.

Almost 100% of the tearful effect of this movie is that both men and women can't help moving their tears in the process of watching the movie.

Of course, it has a lot to do with the national pride of Chinese people.

It's the first time to see a super first-class blockbuster that reflects the Anti Japanese War of our people, is so well made and has such a huge lineup. We have a strong sense of national pride.

The film got unanimous praise in the internal viewing, and Li Mu started to make Spielberg start the preparation for the global release.

As usual, if domestic films want to be released globally, they usually need to license overseas copyright to overseas distribution companies.

Hollywood's Harvey Weinstein, for example, often buys local film rights in Asia and distributes them in North America and other markets.

The basic reason for their distribution is that there are no distribution channels and resources overseas for domestic film and television companies. It's like Zhang San has developed a kind of chili sauce in China. It's hard for him to lay the domestic channels. The team is all local and has not been exposed to the overseas. So it's almost impossible for them to sell chili sauce to all parts of the world by themselves.

So they have to sacrifice part of their profits and sell their products overseas to local companies or companies with transnational resources.

We buy some imported food in China. As long as we enter the customs through regular channels, we all require that there are companies responsible for import and export in China. If it is a large company like Nestle, it may be Nestle Huaxia company, which imports from Nestle's overseas companies to China, and then sells it in China. But if it is a small company, it is generally authorized to a certain first tier city in China The trading company is responsible.

The import and export of films is similar to that of commodities.

If you want to sell in the overseas market, you must have a local sales channel and place. Most Chinese film and television companies do not have any cinema resources overseas, so you must cooperate with the local distributors.

Li Mu doesn't have any overseas cinemas himself, but fortunately, he has a mature online ticketing system, which has become an indispensable sales channel for overseas cinemas, so it will be much more profitable to talk with them about distribution and release at this time.

What's more, Spielberg, the big man of the film and television industry, has a lot of resources in his hand. To help himself integrate, he basically covers most of the developed countries.

Spielberg has made his own release plan before he came here. His goal is to win the first release of several important countries and regions on three continents, including China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea in Asia, Britain, France, Germany and Italy in Europe, the United States and Canada in America.

In addition, all other countries are listed as two or three batches.

The main reason why different release batches should be divided is that it is difficult for the release team to connect with too many countries and regions at the same time, and there is a risk of copy leakage in some countries where the market volume is relatively small and the whole is not very controllable.

Therefore, the smaller the market, the more difficult to control the country and region, the more time to release the back row.

In the first batch of countries, Li Mu is most concerned about the local market of Japan.

In his opinion, the film must be released in Japan. However, it can be predicted that the film will encounter certain resistance when it is released in Japan.

He worried that the film, which depicts objective historical facts, would be interfered by the right wing of Japan and the big moneybags.

Many of Japan's tycoons were closely related to World War II. Some of them were arms suppliers at that time, and some of their predecessors were closely related to the government and the military in World War II.

It's also that these people have been making money and efforts behind their backs to try their best to distort history and clean up stains.

Therefore, Li Mu asked to sign an agreement with Spielberg's distribution company registered in Japan as soon as possible on the release of the film.

In order to ensure that there is enough film arrangement, Li Mu is willing to sacrifice part of the box office share and use more share subsidies to attract the owners of Japanese theatres to improve the film arrangement.

However, since a high enough share is given to the other party, the other party must bear a high enough default cost, so as to further ensure the arrangement problem.

Spielberg has no opinion on this. Japan is also a big overseas ticket property in Hollywood. They have been operating relevant resources in Japan for a long time, which can guarantee a basic arrangement for the flying tigers, first hold the foundation, and then further strive for it."Flying Tigers" is the first big production film invested by Li Mu, which is also one of the single films with the highest investment in Hollywood.

Moreover, Li Mu's total investment in the film is about 200 million dollars. Most of the money is spent on the production of the film, among which tens of millions of dollars are saved in the remuneration of actors and directors.

If measured by market conditions, the total investment of the film is at least 250 million US dollars.

Although its war is not as grand as the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor or the Normandy landing, its air battle picture has reached the peak of the film industry at this stage. Every air station can give the audience a real sense of immersive experience.

Therefore, Li Mu also paid attention to the global performance of the film.

He hoped that the box office of the film would create a record, at least a record of the global war movie box office, and be recorded in the world movie history forever.

In this way, in the future, fans all over the world will know the movie, see it, understand that history, understand the crimes Japan committed against China and humanity in World War II, and the sacrifices the Chinese people made to resist the Japanese invasion.

Because there are many outstanding Jews like Spielberg who have a sense of national mission, there are so many films about the massacre of Jews by the German Communist Party in World War II in the film history that even Chinese children know the crimes of the German Communist Party, the genocide of Hitler, the Auschwitz concentration camp and the Normandy landing.

However, in addition to the Chinese, how many people in the world know the suffering of the Chinese people in the second world war?

People in many countries don't even know what China looks like. They even think that the Chinese people can't afford to use TV sets. How can such people know the history of the resistance of the two Chinese invaders?

So the movie "Flying Tigers" carries not only Li Mu's $200 million investment, but also his respect and awe for the history of the Chinese nation.

He's going to do his best to make this movie popular all over the world.

……

Then, Li Mu began to prepare for the global release of Flying Tigers.

First, let Spielberg connect with the distribution work and theaters of each target country, and cooperate with the online ticket system to talk about film arrangement with theaters as much as possible.

Secondly, it started to release the relevant information of Flying Tigers to the world on Twitter and YY.

For example, make-up photos, posters, gags, trailers, theme songs and interviews with the creators.

The wonderful thing is that Li Mu now controls the Internet traffic all over the world. He wants to push anything, good or bad, at least to ensure that the world knows in the shortest time.

Soon, the first wave of promotion began.

YY users and micro-blog Twitter users around the world have received Twitter advertisements from Leonardo, Tom Hanks and Annne Hathaway. These three people have a large number of micro-blog Twitter fans themselves. Now, after the official promotion, the number of fans has exceeded thirty million. Leonardo and Annne Hathaway, two beauties, are very capable of playing, and the number of fans is even sudden 50 million.

Then all three of them posted some personal insights about the Flying Tigers movie on their twitter, as well as some detailed photos of the movie.

All of a sudden, through these three people, the film was pushed to the front of netizens all over the world.

In China, Du Wei's and Liu Ye's microblogs and twitter are also widely promoted, but because they have no foundation overseas, they are only influential in the Chinese world at this stage.

Then, the official microblog of Flying Tigers was registered on twitter.

The official microblog began to release some trivia pictures, some scattered story introductions and some production stories in front of and behind the scenes every day. These stars forwarded and began to further link and preheat.

At this time, Li Mu has already started to ask people to do the gags video.

A few days later, the first video of the Flying Tigers was released.

This video was shot by many super pilots in line to fly the Old World War II aircraft in the 1:1 replica wartime airport.

For the first time, it showed the world the huge production team of the film.

Unlike most of the previous movies, which use computer special effects as much as possible, Flying Tigers uses live action with special effects as much as possible, so it can make such a powerful visual effect.

It has to be said that the computer special effects at the beginning of the 21st century, although they have been very strong as a whole, still have a certain gap with the real scene. The main reason why Tom Cruise's top gun can make a lot of people boil is that it relies on excellent weapon pictures.

The actual fighters are always more lifelike than those produced by CG.

When netizens saw dozens of master planes queuing up at the airport to take off, or even tiger roaring in the sky, all of them were shocked by that powerful momentum, which also made them look forward to, I don't know how shocked the real picture of Flying Tigers with such a big hand would be!
