Chapter 1803

After Spielberg's speech, Tom Hanks, Leonardo, Liu Ye, Dewey and Anne Hathaway all expressed their feelings about participating in the film.

Talking about history, talking about the details of shooting, a lot of actors are also foreign.

Chen Wan picked up the microphone and said: "when it comes to the flying tigers, we have to mention that this man pushed everything behind his back so that the film could finally land. He is the director of Muye technology, Mr. Li Muli. Let's give him a round of applause."

Li Mu, dressed in a black suit, walked out of the side door and stepped onto the small stage.

After the applause, Chen WANLAI came to Li Mu and asked him, "Mr. Li, what made you invest 200 million dollars to make such a movie?"

Li Mu seriously said: "there are many reasons, but the most important one is that the story of the film and the real history behind the story moved me. As we all know, we have done public welfare activities for the death of veterans before, and also went to Yungui mountain to interview and comfort the old flying tigers. I have always been full of these veterans who once fought for the country and even gave their lives Reverence, so I also want to make a movie to pay homage to them. I just saw the script of Steven Spielberg, so I decided to invest without hesitation at that time. "

Chen Wan nodded and asked, "how many points do you think the movie will get in your mind if it scores 10 out of 10?"

Li Mu said without hesitation: "very well, in my heart, it is a full score movie, which fully respects history, martyrs and feelings between people."

Chen Wan said: "I have seen some comments from foreign roadshow audiences. They say that at the end of the movie, the American nurse played by Annie, who died alone because of her lover's sacrifice, isn't it too cruel? Do you think there will be such cruel feelings in reality? "

Li Mu said: "I think the reality itself is all inclusive, what kind of feelings will appear in the reality, some people know that their lover died in the war, will be sad for a period of time, and then strong up, start a new relationship and life, some people may not be able to themselves, even if they start a new relationship, they are still missing the one that has left One, also some people will be silently guarding that feeling to the end. "

"Like Anne, her choice of feelings is not necessarily cruel to this character. Maybe it's really cruel to force her to forget what she loves and start a new life. Just like park Shu's birch forest, young lovers die in battle to protect their families and their country. Girls are still cruel to him until the white haired The unforgettable feelings, even to the end of life, think of that person, and that piece of birch forest. "

Chen Wan nodded approvingly and asked, "Mr. Li, the film will be released soon. How much do you expect from the box office?"

"I hope the box office of Flying Tigers will surpass that of Titanic," Li said, "but the actual amount will have to be evaluated by the market."

With that said, Li Mu ordered another, saying: "by the way, one thing I want to say to all the audiences is that all the net profits of this film will be taken out to set up a film fund for anti Japanese War, which is specially used to support domestic directors. On the premise of respecting history, films with anti Japanese war themes will be made, and the profits generated by the fund investment will continue to be used for investment Many anti Japanese war movies, I promise not to misappropriate a cent of them

Li Mu never thought of making money by making movies like flying tigers.

What he really wants to do is to present the Chinese Anti Japanese War to the whole world through the big screen, so that people can know the Chinese people's sacrifice in that era.

However, to achieve this, it is not enough to rely on one "Flying Tigers", so we must mobilize the enthusiasm of all the filmmakers.

For a long time in China, there has been an awkward phenomenon. There are many TV dramas about the Anti Japanese War, but there are few big screen movies. The reason is nothing but utilitarianism.

The production of Anti Japanese War TV plays has low cost, good market and relatively loose censorship, so we have made a lot of magical Anti Japanese War dramas, including hand ripped ghosts, hidden thunder in the crotch, three jumps of Gatlin armed forces, dry grenade airplanes and baozi grenades, which are all produced in batches by writers and directors who are not responsible for history;

if we want to make a big screen movie with anti Japanese War theme, we must have a lot of investment, and the theme has no commercial movie sales. If several people play a road comedy, we can win more than 12 billion box office. Who is willing to take the trouble to make Anti Japanese war movie?

The hot money in the film and television industry also likes to invest in those more entertaining film and television projects, so the Anti Japanese war themes are naturally less and less, less and less, no one invests, less and less, and no one invests, so it is trapped in a vicious circle.

If we set up a fund to make high-quality Anti Japanese war films, we believe that we can push this forward.

For example, if a director gets a play about Anti Japanese War, roughly estimate that it will cost at least 100 million yuan to make a good shot. No one wants to cast it out, and finally he can only put the play aside.However, after the foundation of the fund, a billion yuan can come to find its own fund. If the Fund thinks that the script is OK, the director is OK, and the casting is OK, it doesn't hesitate to invest, and then reserve a part of the box office share for the director. If it fails, the cost will be borne by me, the fire will be shot, and you will make a lot of money.

Using such a model to promote this piece of literary and artistic works will certainly bring about qualitative changes.

But for a long time, because no one has done such a thing, the domestic anti Japanese war movies have become more and more deeply entertaining and transitional entertaining.

In this market environment, who would like to make Anti Japanese war movies in mud?

Li Mu roughly predicted that "Flying Tigers" would win at least one billion dollars at the box office in the world. At that time, apart from the cost, box office credits and the share of Spielberg, the rest would be at least three or four billion dollars, which translates to two or three billion yuan.

The single investment in domestic films is not high, so two or three billion can support at least thirty or forty or even forty or fifty films, and it is certainly impossible to directly invest in dozens of films as soon as they come up, seven or eight films a year, or eleven or two films, some of which are losing money, some of which are even, some of which are making money, so it can basically turn around.

As soon as the news came out, many domestic film directors expressed their great support and appreciation.

The price of over marketization is that we are more and more profit-seeking, less and less responsible, more and more feel that patriotism is your business and his business, and making money is my business. When more and more people think about this, the cultural industry will naturally become worse and worse.

Li Mu made such a decision at this time, which really brought a great clean stream to the cultural industry.

……

In the road show afterwards, Li took part in four times.

That is to say, he followed half of the ten roadshows.

For CEOs of many companies, it's really the limit to be able to spare so much time.

"Flying Tigers" ten roadshows, go where the fire where, the media also crazy every day to pursue the same report.

Domestic media, from CCTV to local TV, have great expectations for the film and spare no effort to promote it.

Even the industrial and commercial departments and the public security departments have entered the stage of joint law enforcement, preparing to fight against all piracy after the release of Flying Tigers.

In the past, the piracy of commercial films may have passed with one eye open and one eye closed, but this film is of great significance.

It not only represents the history, but also represents the output of China in the world.

In the words of Li Mu on twitter, we shot and promoted the flying tigers, not to make money, or to sell miserably. All our purposes are to salvage and recover this history from the long river of history, so that as many people as possible can see it and understand it.

It's a respect for history and a respect for heroes.

Two days before the film was released, online ticket sales were launched in all regions and theaters.

In less than an hour, seats in all theaters and shows around the world have been sold out.

Before July 7, the first day's box office had been locked in advance.

The first day box office in China, including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, was $30 million, which is why all screens have been included.

Japan, South Korea, the first day box office 12 million dollars, Japan accounted for about 70%.

In the United States and Canada, the first day box office was 60 million US dollars;

in four European countries, the first day box office was more than 8 million US dollars.

Before the movie was released, the box office on the first day was already over 100 million dollars.

The world was shocked. The

cinema's layout is also very awesome. It has almost been able to make the best of the resources available to the Flying Tigers.

Summer archives, itself is a very competitive schedule.

However, in this schedule, "Flying Tigers" is the only one.

It is said that the publicity of "Flying Tigers" made many publicity teams of films released in the same period or recently collapse.

The reason is that Li Mu used the Internet resources to the peak.

The whole Internet is full of advertisements for this movie.

And Li Mu's online ticketing system also has a huge banner of Flying Tigers.

All over the world, almost all the movie studios have put on the promotional materials of Flying Tigers, which almost covers the whole area.

For the audience, they have been attracted by the Flying Tigers. After all, this movie has brought together too many attractive elements.

This makes other films beat their hearts and legs, but there is no way at all. They can only serve as the cannon fodder of Flying Tigers in this schedule.

So, on July 7.

"Flying Tigers" with the Chinese people in the World War II great and tenacity, the official release!
