Chapter 1284 Unite All Who Can Unite
?Spielberg decided to leave for China on the 13th day of the first lunar month in China time after coordination among all parties. At that time, besides more than 20 American Flying Tigers and their relatives, other There were film crews who followed the whole process of filming, and there were two random film crews, one team was sent by Li Mu and Liu Xinxing, and the other team was recruited by Spielberg through connections.
According to Spielberg, the filming team he recruited is a well-known documentary team that has close ties to Hollywood. HBO has a very close cooperation with them. The team that filmed "Band of Brothers" provided a lot of big help.
Spielberg invited them to come here for two purposes. One is to have an additional documentary perspective, which can make this great meeting more perfect; the other is that HBO likes to engage in big themes, and is very good at doing them. "Flying Tiger" "Squad" is a movie when it is made into two hours, and it is a TV series when it is made into 20 hours. HBO is best at creating TV series with the battle of making movies. If they are interested in "Flying Tigers", they can use Sell the copyright to them, or directly cooperate with them to make TV dramas together.
Li Mu naturally has no objection to this. In the IP era, the more derivatives of an IP, the better. An IP will be published on the Internet first, and then published after the quality and popularity reach the standard. Then change it to web dramas, web dramas, satellite TV dramas, cinema movies, and even PC games, browser games, mobile games and even console games...
In short, as long as the story is good and popular, its development must be diversified, and the more diversified the development of a story, the more audiences it will have. There is no limit to "Flying Tigers". It is a movie, of course it can also be made into a TV series. If a domestic film and television company wants to buy the copyright of the TV series "Flying Tigers", no matter how much money is paid, Li Mu will not agree, even if he kneels down and calls him Dad. I don’t agree. If it’s HBO, Li Mu doesn’t need a penny of copyright fees. As long as you HBO will give me the heart to film the greatness and fearlessness of the Chinese soldiers and civilians during the Anti-Japanese War, and restore the crimes of the Japanese invaders to me. Come here, it's okay for me to give you money back.
Li Mu has never made "Flying Tigers" for the sake of making money, but for the country, the nation, and history. No matter how much money is spent on these three things, Li Mu will not hesitate.
Considering that the plane arrived in Spring City on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, just in time for the Lantern Festival, Li Mu arranged for these American Flying Tigers to celebrate the festival with the old Huaxia Flying Tigers first, and then asked the volunteers to arrange for them to go to the former Flying Tigers. Take a look at the old site of the team base and some places with common memories, give them a few days to reunite and search for past memories, and officially hold a press conference on the eighteenth of the first month.
At this press conference, Li Mu will not only announce other characters of "Flying Tigers" to the society with Spielberg, but also announce the situation of the Veterans Undead Charity Foundation and the "Looking for Survivors" that the foundation is currently operating with full force. Flying Tigers" public welfare action.
A 747 passenger plane of Air China coordinated by Li Mu will go to the United States for painting five days in advance. After that, the plane will not take on other flight missions until the task of flying the chartered flight of the Flying Tigers. The Boeing 747 is It is not a simple project to repaint such a large four-engine aircraft, which is the largest civil aviation airliner at the moment. It is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive. However, in order to achieve the expected effect, Li Mu does not care about this investment at all.
Fortunately, the leaders of Air China have learned of the clear positioning of the Veterans Undead Charity Foundation and the details of the activity to find the surviving Flying Tigers through private communication. What is rare is that they are also very supportive of this public welfare activity, and Air China is willing to bear the burden for free This charter flight, and hopes to permanently retain the special paint of the 747 after the charter flight is over.
Li Mu is very happy with Air China's attitude. What he cares about is not saving money on charter flights, but Air China's positive and cooperative attitude. This proves that the charity project of veterans not dying has great appeal and appeal to the whole society ,
I believe that when I launch this charity project, I will definitely get the recognition and support of the whole society. The more recognition and support, the more comprehensive help I can provide to veterans in the future.
Based on the account Wei Lan gave to Li Mu, the Veterans Never Die Foundation will continue to protect the existing veterans until their death. In ten or twenty years, at least hundreds of millions of yuan will be needed to support them. It seems that the funding gap is very large. However, once this charity project becomes a phenomenal existence in society, with China's population base, this funding gap can be easily filled in a short period of time.
If the funds are sufficient, Li Mu is even planning to continue to expand the influence of the veterans' undead charitable project. In the next few years, the foundation can allocate spare energy to help those in Taiwan under the premise of covering all veterans in the mainland. If the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War have spare energy, they can also help the veterans of other countries in Southeast Asia who have resisted the Japanese invasion, or even help the old Soviet Red Army who participated in the Northeast attack on the Japanese Kwantung Army.
Li Mu, a nationalist who helps the anti-Japanese veterans of other countries, does not simply want to help them, but wants to use practical actions to create a justice alliance composed of anti-Japanese veterans and to remind the world of the atrocities of the Japanese war at all times. As long as he is capable, He can support groups all over the world who have resisted the Japanese invaders or been harmed by the Japanese invaders.
Even the American veterans who participated in the Pearl Harbor, Midway, and Iwo Jima wars, even the Soviet Red Army who fought the Japanese in the Northeast, even the North and South Koreas before the split, organized by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea In short, all those who resisted the Japanese invaders during World War II, regardless of race or nationality, are the targets of Li Mu's "justice alliance". He wants to unite all those who can, The purpose is to remind all countries, nations, and people who have suffered from war and aggression, and hope that they will always remember that period of history, so that their descendants and their people will never forget that the country called Japan once brought people all over the world. all the suffering.
To achieve this goal, the key lies in the energy that the Veterans Undead Foundation can gather in the society. The domestic propaganda is only part of it. In the future, he must push this charitable organization to every corner of the world.
At this time, the public is still unaware of the existence of the Veterans Undead Charity Foundation. There are two major issues that they are more concerned about now. One is that there are so many criticisms of Li Mu on the Internet. Why doesn't he come out and give everyone an explanation? It has already separated from the grassroots; another one is when will the Chinese actors of "Flying Tigers" be announced.
Many media reporters are also waiting for an official statement on these two matters. During this period of time, many media offered to interview Li Mu, but they were all declined without exception. Even Li Mu's mother Yang wanted to interview Li Mu, and Li Mu also Declined due to lack of time.
Before the launch of the press conference, Li Mu is not going to accept any media interviews. All misunderstandings, speculations and attacks are irrelevant to him, because he knows that everything will be fully announced to the public on the day of the press conference. All the attacks and rumors will be self-defeating in the press conference. Before that, all explanations are futile and meaningless. His time is precious. How can he have the energy to talk to every rumor maker? One by one hand to hand combat, this kind of attack that breaks the whole into parts, can only be broken down into wholes to kill them all at once, and it is necessary to accomplish the work of all the enemies in one battle.
...
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month in Los Angeles time, a specially painted Boeing 747 took off from Seattle's Boeing Field at Los Angeles International Airport and landed at Los Angeles International Airport after several hours of flight.
This Air China 747 took off directly to Los Angeles after finishing the new painting at the Boeing assembly plant. After landing at the Los Angeles Airport, it immediately taxied into the large hangar reserved at the airport, so the entire appearance time fell from a height of 500 meters Counting from the hour, it takes only a dozen minutes to land, reverse thrust and decelerate, and taxi into the warehouse.
Los Angeles International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. There are countless passenger planes taking off and landing here every day, and there are countless 747 models, and there are livery of airlines from various countries. Generally, except for flying enthusiasts, it is very popular. Few people can tell the difference between these planes. It stands to reason that Air China's veteran plane has only been exposed to many planes for more than ten minutes, so it should not attract much attention. However, its unique painting still makes many witnesses look sideways. .
This specially painted 747 is indeed quite eye-catching. It was originally the largest civil aviation airliner, and the front half of the nose is a double-layer design, which is much higher than the fuselage. Huge shark mouth shape, although the shark is in a cartoon shape, it looks extraordinarily majestic and domineering.
Most of the livery in modern civil aviation is very orthodox, and only a few special opportunities use cartoon livery. For example, some airliners in Japan are painted with cartoon characters as the theme. However, it seems that sharks have been used for painting, which has never been seen in the field of civil aviation.
In addition to the eye-catching shark mouth shape, there is also eye-catching text spraying on the fuselage, which reads in both Chinese and English "Veteran never dies --- American Flying Tigers special plane", but because the plane has not stopped moving, most witnesses I didn't see the words on the fuselage clearly, but I only saw the shark on the nose of the aircraft. Even the few who saw the words didn't understand the information in it.
There are also some eyewitnesses who took pictures of this 747, but fortunately this is not the era of smartphones. Even the relatively high-end camera phones now have a maximum pixel of 300,000, and mobile Internet access is still very unpopular, so no images have been circulated on the Internet. .
It is about to cross the ocean and the hemisphere to achieve a great reunion that will be recorded in history forever!
