Rebirth in a Perfect Era - Chapter 1803
After Spielberg’s speech, Tom Hanks, Leonardo, Liu Ye, Du Wei and Anne Hathaway also expressed their feelings about participating in the film.
Talking about history, talking about shooting details, and a lot of actors are also feeling foreign.
After the main creator was interviewed, Chen Wan picked up the microphone and said, “When it comes to the movie” Flying Tigers “, one of us has to mention that it was this person who pushed everything behind to make this movie. In the end, he was the chairman of Makino Technology, Mr. Li Muli. Let us applaud. ”
In a black suit, Li Mu stepped out of the side door and stepped onto the small stage.
After the applause, Chen Wan came to Li Mu and asked him: “General Manager Li, what prompted you to invest 200 million US dollars to make such a movie?”
Li Mu seriously said: “There are many reasons, but the most important thing is the story of this movie and the real history behind the story moved me. As we all know, we have done veteran public welfare activities before, and also went to interview in Yungui Mountains. Congratulations to the old Flying Tiger members of that year, I have always been full of respect for these veterans who have fought for the blood of the country and even gave their lives, so I also want to make a movie to pay tribute to them. I just saw the film directed by Spielberg. Script, so I decided to invest without hesitation. ”
Chen Wan nodded, and then asked, “How do you think, if the score is full, how many points can this movie score in your mind?”
Li Mu said without hesitation: “Ten minutes, in my mind, it is a movie with full marks. It fully respects history, fully respects martyrs, and fully respects the feelings between people.”
Chen Wan said: “I have seen some comments from foreign roadshow audiences. They said that at the end of the movie, the American nurse played by Annie was lonely and aged because of the sacrifice of her lover. Is it too cruel? Do you think it will be so cruel in reality? Your relationship? ”
Li Mu said: “I think reality is all-encompassing. What kind of feelings will appear in reality. Some people know that their lover has died in battle and will be sad for a period of time. Then they will strengthen and start a new relationship and life. Some people may be unable to control themselves. Even when they start a new relationship, they still miss the one who has left, and some people will keep the relationship silent until the end. ”
“A character like Annie, her choice of feelings may not necessarily be cruel to this character. Maybe forcing her to forget her love and start a new life is really cruel, just like Park’s song” “Birch Grove” sings, the young lover died in battle in order to protect his country and the country, and the girl still had an unforgettable affection for him until Baicangcang, and even when the life is gone, the person is still thinking about it, and That birch forest. ”
Chen Wan nodded in agreement, and asked, “Mr. Li, this movie will be released soon. How much do you expect from the box office?”
Li Mu said: “I hope that the box office of” Flying Tigers “can surpass” Titanic “, but the specific amount of access to the market has to be tested.”
Speaking, Li Mu also ordered, “Yes, one thing I want to say to all audiences is that all the net profits of this movie will be used to set up an anti-Japanese film fund specifically to support the domestic The director of the film, on the premise of respect for history, made films on the theme of the War of Resistance, and the profits generated by the investment in the fund will continue to be used to invest in more films of the War of Resistance, and I promise not to misappropriate one of them. ”
Li Mu never thought of making money by making movies like “Flying Tigers”.
What he really wanted to do was to present the Huaxia War of Resistance to the whole world through a big screen, so that people would know what the people of Huaxia paid and sacrificed in that era.
However, in order to achieve this, it is not enough to rely on a “Flying Tigers” alone, so we must mobilize the enthusiasm of all filmmakers.
For a long time in China, a relatively embarrassing phenomenon appeared. There were many TV dramas on the subject of the War of Resistance Against Japan, but there were few big-screen movies. The reason is nothing more than utilitarianism.
Anti-Japanese war dramas are low cost, good sales, and relatively loose censorship, so everyone chased me, took a lot of magical anti-Japanese war dramas, tearing devils by hand, hiding thunder in the crotch, and triple-armed Gatling In this case, the sub-grenade, dry plane, and bun-grenade were all produced in batches by screenwriters and directors who are not responsible for history;
For the big-screen movies on the theme of the War of Resistance Against Japan, investment is bound to be great if you want to make a good movie, and there is no commercial movie blockbuster on the theme. A few people can perform a highway comedy, and they can win a dozen or two billion box office. Anti-Japanese movie?
The hot money in the film and television industry also likes to invest in more entertaining film and television projects, so the theme of the Anti-Japanese War will naturally be less and less, the less no one will invest, the less no one will invest, the more nobody will shoot, so it is in a vicious circle.
If you set up a fund yourself to shoot high-quality anti-Japanese war movies, I believe that this will definitely be promoted.
For example, if a director gets a play on the theme of the War of Resistance, a rough estimate is that at least 100 million shots are needed to make a good shot.
However, after the foundation was established, one hundred million can come to ask for this fund. If the fund feels that the script is no problem, the director is no problem, and the casting is no problem, then invest without hesitation, and then give the director a preview Keep a part of the box office divided, the shoot is smashed, I will carry the cost, shoot the fire, and you make a lot of money.
Using this mode to promote this literary and artistic work will definitely bring about qualitative change.
But for a long time, because no one did such a thing, the anti-Japanese movies in China became more and more deeply entertained and transitional.
For a variety of mixed performances, I can go to the court to make money. Who would like to make anti-Japanese movies in this market environment?
Li Mu roughly estimated that “Flying Tigers” could also win at least one billion US dollars in box office worldwide. At that time, excluding costs, excluding box office sub-accounts, and part of Spielberg’s share, the rest will be less There are also three or four billion dollars, which translates into two or three billion yuan.
The single investment of domestic movies is not high, so two or three billion can support at least thirty or forty, or even forty or fifty movies, and it is certainly impossible to directly invest in dozens of movies as soon as they come up. Seven or eight, or eleven or two, some lose money, some are tied, and some are profitable, so basically they can turn around.
As soon as this news came out, many domestic film directors expressed great support and appreciation.
The price of excessive marketization is that everyone is increasingly pursuing profits and becoming less responsible. It is more and more that patriotism is your business and his business. It is my business to make money. Many, the cultural industry will naturally become worse and worse.
Li Mu made such a decision at this time, which indeed brought a great deal of clearing to the cultural industry.
…
After the roadshow, Li Mu took the time to participate in four games.
In other words, in ten road shows, he followed in half.
For CEOs of more than one company, it is really the limit to be able to spare so much time.
The ten road shows of “Flying Tigers”, wherever the fire went, the media went crazy reporting every day.
Domestic media, from the central stage to the local stage, all have great expectations for this film and spare no effort to promote the film.
Even the industry and commerce department and the public security department have entered the stage of joint law enforcement and are preparing to jointly fight against all piracy after the release of the Flying Tigers.
In the past, piracy of commercial movies may have passed with one eye closed and one eye closed, but this movie is of great significance.
It not only represents history, but also represents an output of Huaxia in the world.
In the words of Li Mu on Weibo Twitter, we shot and promoted the Flying Tigers, one not to make money, the other not to sell misery, all our purpose is to salvage this history from the long river of history, Recover it so that as many people as possible can see it and understand it.
This is respect for history and respect for heroes.
Two days before the film was released, online ticket sales were launched in all regions and all theaters.
In less than an hour, seats in all screening theaters and venues around the world have been sold out ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ Before July 7th, the box office on the first day had been locked in advance.
The entire Huaxia, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, had a box office of 30 million US dollars on the first day, which is why all the screens have been included.
Japan and South Korea, the box office on the first day of 12 million US dollars, of which Japan accounted for about 70%.
US and Canada, 60 million US dollars at the box office on the first day;
Four European countries had more than 8 million box office on the first day.
Before the movie was released, the box office on the first day was already over 100 million US dollars.
The world was shocked.
The movie line is also very powerful, almost to its best, and during this time, “Flying Tigers” has arranged the most resources.
The summer season is itself a highly competitive season.
However, in this season, “Flying Tigers” is the only one.
It is said that the announcement of “Flying Tigers” caused many of the announcement teams that released movies in the same period or recently to collapse.
The reason is that Li Mu has used Internet resources to the extreme.
Advertisements for this movie are everywhere on the Internet.
And Li Mu’s online ticketing system has been hung by the giant banner of “Flying Tigers”.
Almost all movie studios around the world have put up promotional materials for the Flying Tigers, which is almost comprehensive coverage.
For the audience, they have been attracted by the Flying Tigers all about the movie. After all, this film has too many eye-catching elements.
This made other movies barefoot, but there was no way at all, only to serve as the cannon fodder for the Flying Tigers.
So, on July 7th.
“Flying Tigers” is officially released with the greatness and tenacity of the Chinese people in World War II!
