Chapter 1294 1 Make Way for Veterans

The sound of music sounded again, and everyone was involuntarily solemn.

Accompanied by more than 50 primary school students from Chuncheng Bayi Primary School, more than 50 old Flying Tigers walked slowly onto the stage. Bayi Primary School is a school for the children of Chuncheng Military Region. All of them are children of active military personnel. Miao Hong's new generation.

Although the pace of the old people is very slow, it can still be seen from their stature and posture that they are very tall and straight. They are very different from ordinary old people.

Li Mu had prepared so much for the appearance of these old people. When they actually appeared in front of hundreds of reporters, the scene was already boiling.

At this moment, it doesn't matter who the actor is, the real focus of everyone has shifted from the movie to these old Flying Tiger players.

The thunderous applause kept echoing and superimposing on the scene. People seemed to have found new idols in this impetuous society, new idols that could make them fall into the ground. The halo of these idols is more than that of any star. Shine, must be pure and supreme, and those who have warm blood in their chests will have their blood boiling because of their infection.

Over the years, no veterans of the Anti-Japanese War have received such grand courtesy and such intense attention, whether it is these Chinese veterans or American veterans.

The members of the Huaxia Old Flying Tigers are all from the national army. Because of the problem of composition, they have been treated with courtesy and attention in the past few decades. In order to avoid criticism, they wish that people would forget their origins and let them be anonymous. The undisputed peasants are already the greatest expectation, and I have never thought that this society can remember them again, and remember them with a grateful heart.

In contrast, the situation of the American Flying Tigers is not very good. They came to China to fight the Japanese army as volunteers. Although they are very respected in China, they have not attracted much attention in the United States, and it is embarrassing that , After the Vietnam War, American society began to be filled with anti-war sentiments. This anti-war sentiment spread rapidly in society, so that the whole society had a layer of hostility towards veterans who had participated in the war. Later, they became even more Without social attention, it has become a completely forgotten group.

But today, all their pasts have been reawakened and known to the world again, which, for them, has been a great comfort in their lives for decades.

Li Mu bowed to all the old Flying Tigers players on stage and said from the bottom of his heart: "On behalf of all the staff and volunteers of the Veterans Undying Charity Foundation, as well as all the staff of Muye Technology, Taobao Technology, and all members of the csc club, Thank you, and to all the veterans of World War II who stood up for justice around the world, for your outstanding and indelible service to our country and the world."

Li Mu feels that representation is a very noble word and a very sacred word. As a t practitioner and a private entrepreneur, he can only represent these people who have joined the Veteran Undying Charity Project, but cannot represent more groups. If other groups also want to pay tribute to these veterans, then they can use their own way, they can applaud, show solidarity, donate money, and actually do something for the veterans around them. If one day, the whole society will To be able to truly participate in this charity event without being represented by others, that is the situation he most desires to see.

The reporters in the audience also spontaneously bowed to the old heroes together with Li Mu. Immediately, each old hero took turns introducing his name, place of origin, time of enlistment, army number and battles he participated in.

More than 20 Chinese pilots have the unit number of the National Air Force, and more than 20 American pilots have the official number of the Huaxia Air Force American Volunteer Aid China Air Force.

Including old man Sun Xiaozhong, old man Han Zili and old man Paul Crawford, after each old man introduced himself,

An hour and a half has passed.

This is comparable to the length of a movie and did not let anyone rush to get bored. They listened carefully to each old man's self-introduction, and from their calm sentences, they felt the war and even the bloody romance they experienced.

Among them, there is really an old American Flying Tigers team member who married a Chinese girl who worked near the Flying Tigers station. It's just that it's been too long, and the other people have passed away, so they couldn't appear at today's press conference.

The only regret is that there were no American nurses in the real history of the Flying Tigers back then. Otherwise, there might be a love story between a Chinese pilot and an American female nurse.

The love bred in the war is comparable to Jin Jian, and Li Mu also looks forward to the future screen interpretations of Leonardo and Du Wei, Liu Ye and Anne Hathaway. If the great love bred in the war in that era can be interpreted Incisively and vividly, then the height of this movie in the field of romance films in the future may not be worse, and even higher than the latter in terms of level and background.

...

It was agreed that the press conference for the Chinese actor candidates, but in the end, no one paid any attention to this matter. Everyone's attention was focused on Li Mu's Veteran Undying Charity Foundation and these surviving old Flying Tigers, until all the After the old man introduced himself, until the veteran representative expressed his deep expectations for the film in front of all the media, everyone suddenly remembered: By the way, the actor candidates have not been announced yet...

Everyone has forgotten the original intention and ignored the original intention. Although some put the cart before the horse, this also confirms the story of the veteran from one aspect and can attract enough attention from the society.

The children of the elementary school in the military area accompanied the veterans off the stage. Li Mu then stood back on the stage and said lightly, "Next, we will invite our Chinese actors to enter the stage!"

Li Mu's voice just fell, and when everyone didn't respond, Li Xuejian took the lead. All the actors were sorted by age, lined up from the side of the stage, and stood beside Li Mu.

The reporters were all confused.

What are you doing? All the actors were called out all at once? A major event that the whole society is paying attention to, shouldn't there be a bit of suspense when it comes to the announcement of the cast of the landmark super production in the Chinese film industry?

Even if there is no suspense, at least it is grand, right? There was no background music, no short film to set off, Li Mu said a word, and everyone lined up? At least call your name before appearing, this... Compared to the battle of the veterans when they appeared just now, it's like a day by day...

The reporters didn't react all of a sudden, Li Mu has already started to introduce to everyone: "I will introduce our cast to everyone, first of all, the famous performing artist, Teacher Li Xuejian!"

The reporters who responded gave their applause. Teacher Li Xuejian bowed deeply to the audience. Then Li Mu introduced Teacher Chen Zhiming and Teacher Chen Baoguo, followed by Huang Bo, Liu Ye, Tang Wei, Du Wei and Wang Xinran.

When introducing each actor, Li Mu just gave a brief introduction and introduced the names of each of them. Other than that, he did not introduce more content, nor did he introduce the roles they were going to play in this time. The characters and the actors didn't speak either. They knew very well that the social attention of this movie was high enough that they didn't need to hype and publicize it themselves. It is the veterans who were on stage just now, including Li Mu, all of them are setting up a stage for the Veterans Undying Charity Foundation. We must make this charity foundation famous in the whole society, and let the whole society voluntarily invest in it. Veterans don't die for a charity project.

After introducing all the actors, Li Mucai invited each actor to make a brief speech. Starting with Teacher Li Xuejian, each of them only spent a minute or two to make a simple self-introduction, and then most of the time , they are all promoting the Veterans Undying Charity Foundation. Everyone is very honored to have the opportunity to listen to the oral histories of these veterans, understand their true stories, and understand the wars that were raging in those days. Opportunity to star in their stories in a movie.

These stars, big names, and veteran actors are now willingly making green leaves for the veterans, adhering to one purpose: everything makes way for the veterans.

Li Mu did not waste time on the cast. After introducing the actors, he invited director Steven Spielberg, the representative of DreamWorks, to appear. The movie itself is just a few words, and everyone is maintaining a tacit understanding. Today, the movie is not important, nor is it important for me, the veteran is the most important!

Regarding the joint establishment of a film academy with Hollywood, Li Mu just mentioned it briefly in front of the media and did not focus on writing. Although the reporters were very curious, their focus of thinking was also changing with Li Mu's deliberate arrangement. , At the scene, everyone's main focus was on the veterans and the Veterans Undying Charity Foundation.

In the subsequent Q&A session with reporters, Li Mu, Spielberg and other actors also maintained such a tacit understanding. Questions related to movies were answered simply; questions related to charitable foundations were answered with emphasis; Questions that do not matter, refuse to answer.

The press conference did not authorize any TV station to broadcast live video, so people all over the country who are paying attention to Li Mu and the film are waiting for relevant media reports, and they can't wait to know who will star in this film. , How will Li Mu respond to those remarks on the Internet?

At 9 o'clock in the evening, major media and TV stations have already started the first round of large-scale reports, and yy.com also pushed news containing videos nationwide through yy at 10 o'clock in the evening.

A large number of curious people clicked to check it for the first time, but they never dreamed that what awaited them was not a solution to the gossip, but a spiritual baptism and shock! ...
