Chapter 1288 Life Is an Involuntary Practice

After Makino Technology sent out invitations to all media and announced the time of the press conference to the whole society, people all over the country were waiting for the announcement of the actors of "Flying Tigers".

It would be even better if Li Mu could come out and give a positive reply to the CSC club and the comments made by netizens in recent days.

Li Mu has been accompanying more than 50 Chinese and American Flying Tigers in Spring City for the past few days. In the past few days after the old people got together, the staff of the Veterans Never Die Foundation arranged very complete and thoughtful activities for them, including Daily group dinners, free exchange salons, and revisiting old places.

Not only these American Flying Tigers have not been back for many years, but also many Chinese Flying Tigers. After the victory of the war, very few people have been to Spring City, so this time so many old comrades set foot on the land of Spring City again It is of great significance to them. Almost all the old people are lamenting that when the Anti-Japanese War was just won, they always said that they must go back to Spring City often in the future, but almost most of them violated their original plan. If it were not for the organization of the Veterans Undead Charity Foundation, I am afraid they would leave this world with this unfulfilled promise. Now, they have finally fulfilled their promise and returned to Spring City after sixty years, but this It should be the last time in their lives to return to this land.

The sighs of the old people made Li Mu very sad. Before he graduated from university in his previous life, his classmates drank together, cried together, and swore that they would go back to their alma mater together every year to have a look and get together, but they left When you go to school or enter the society, you will immediately enter into a vicious circle where no one restrains you, but you are involuntary. Everyone is busy with work, life, and love, and sometimes they even go home all year round. After a few times, I still have the time and energy to go to my alma mater hundreds of kilometers away to take a look. Moreover, the alma mater has long since changed, and I can’t find anyone I know when I go back.

This is true even for Li Mu who is relatively close to Jinling, especially those students from other provinces. Almost no one made a special trip to Jinling to return to their alma mater. Couldn't even get together.

Even myself, who was born in a peaceful age and lived in a modern society, was unable to fulfill his promise for various reasons, not to mention these old people who left here in 45 years, scattered across the country and even went to the other side of the ocean? What they have experienced is countless turmoil and changes in the world. Before the 1990s, when an American thought of coming to China, the various documents and requirements were cumbersome enough to drive people crazy. A simple individual in such a world environment Come on, it's really too small.

Life is originally an involuntary practice.

Li Mu has been reborn, and he has no chance to fulfill the promise he made with his college classmates in his previous life, but he is extremely gratified that he helped these fifty veterans fulfill the promise buried in his heart for sixty years.

...

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in the largest banquet hall of the hotel, all Huaxia, American Flying Tigers and their relatives spent a very meaningful Lantern Festival here.

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, all the important Chinese actors of "Flying Tigers" arrived in Spring City one after another, including Du Wei, Liu Ye, Huang Bo, and Tang Wei, the four contracted artists of Mu Yeying, as well as Mr. Li Xuejian and Mr. Chen Daoming In the eyes of Li Mu, Mr. Chen Baoguo and Mr. Chen Baoguo are the three actors with the best acting skills in China. In addition to these seven, there is also Su Yingxue's cousin Wang Xinran.

The roles of these actors, Li Mu, have been arranged for a long time. Du Wei is the first heroine on par with Anne Hathaway, Liu Ye is the first male protagonist on par with Leonardo, and Huang Bo plays an ordinary villager. His character himself has an admiration for Du Wei's character, and the two have a small amount of rivalry. When Leonardo's character crashes, Huang Bo is mobilized by the militia to rescue him, and then hides Leonardo in Du Wei. In Wei's house, Huang Bo also had a small amount of interaction with Leonardo. From the beginning of his role, he could see that the village girl played by Du Wei had some affection for the American pilot played by Leonardo.

As a result, Huang Bo was extremely entangled and struggling, and he didn't have a good look at Leonardo, but every time the Japanese searched, he would still desperately help Du Wei's family hide Leonardo until Leonardo was safely rescued. After Duo was sent away, he and Du Wei's relatives died in the raids of the Japanese.

The role played by Tang Wei is a female nurse of the Flying Tigers. There is nothing tragic about this role. She is set as a progressive young man from a big city. In order to contribute to the Anti-Japanese War, she joined the Flying Tigers unconditionally. The Air Force Hospital of the Tigers worked together with Anne Hathaway. After Anne Hathaway fell in love with the role of the pilot played by Liu Ye, the little nurse played by Tang Wei played a role of succession between the two, but in the end they followed With Liu Ye's sacrifice, her role has basically completed her mission in the play.

Teacher Chen Daoming played the role of President Jiang in this movie, that is, the chairman of the committee. There are not many scenes, but it is very important;

Teacher Li Xuejian played the role of the supreme commander of the Flying Tigers in China in this movie. He played against Chennault played by Tom Hanks. He is the only one who plays rival games with Max;

Teacher Chen Baoguo is relatively young, so in this movie, he plays a Chinese military officer of the Flying Tigers. He is Liu Ye's superior and Li Xuejian's subordinate. There are not many scenes, but the focus is on the opponent roles played by many Chinese and American actors They played a role of succession and cooperation, because the combination of Liu Ye, Leonardo, Du Wei, Anne Hathaway, Li Xuejian, and Tom Hanks accounted for almost the vast majority of the entire play. role, so in this process, Mr. Chen Baoguo is needed to be a catalyst for the whole;

As for Wang Xinran, Li Mu chose her this time out of care. Fortunately, Wang Xinran's acting skills are generally OK, so Li Mu arranged for her to play a progressive female student who came from Shanghai to Spring City to promote the War of Resistance in the play. There are not many scenes , the requirements are not high, mainly to set off the atmosphere of the national war of resistance;

There is also a relatively important role, that is, for the sake of Wei Lan's father, Wei Jun, Li Mu agreed to the conditions of a certain leader of the Shanghai Municipal Department of Political Science and Law, and arranged for his nephew to play the role of the Flying Tigers, but Li Mu did not invite him Come to the press conference.

The press conference was scheduled to be held at 7:00 p.m. on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. The reason why Li Mu notified the main actors to come so early was that Li Mu had two purposes. If you want to pay tribute to them in advance, this is the respect you must have; another, this is the first time that Spielberg has left more than half of the main actors to other people to make full decisions, so Li Mu has to let He met the actors in advance and got to know each other. Li Mu believes that there will be no problem with the acting skills of these actors, but Spielberg is the director. He needs to know enough about these actors before he can tailor the lens language for them. .

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Li Mu did not go to the airport to pick up the plane, but handed over all the pick-up work to the staff, and he and Spielberg waited at the hotel. Spielberg met and chatted.

At 10:30 in the morning, Teacher Li Xuejian was the first to arrive at Spring City Airport. Knowing that he would meet Spielberg today, Teacher Li Xuejian deliberately booked the earliest flight, and flew directly from Yanjing with an assistant.

After Ning Hao received Teacher Li Xuejian at the airport, he handed Teacher Li Xuejian over to the staff of Muye Imaging, and the staff immediately drove a commercial vehicle to pick up Teacher Li Xuejian from the airport to the hotel.

When Teacher Li Xuejian arrived, Li Mu was working with Spielberg to communicate with the post-documentary team on the editing of the promotional film.

In order to ensure that the best promotional short film can be presented at this press conference, the documentary team temporarily set up a post-editing studio in a luxurious business suite of the hotel. Combing, rough cutting, and at night, the materials taken by the front-end photographer that day were brought over for screening and editing, and Li Mu and Spielberg stared together to make the final finished editing.

Due to the pursuit of absolute documentary and shocking, a lot of real video materials from history were interspersed in the final promotional film. This background music was originally the soundtrack of a documentary. With the help of Spielberg, Li Mu obtained the authorization letter faxed by the copyright company in a very short period of time, and the video used The real image data of the photographers have also been communicated with the descendants of the photographers, and all of them have been authorized by the copyright owner without exception.

Fortunately, everyone, including Spielberg, was full of praise for the pure music selected by Li Mu, and no one had any disagreement on this point.

A staff member knocked on the door, came in and said to Li Mu, "President Li, Teacher Li Xuejian is here."

"Oh!" Li Mu said in surprise, "Ms. Li arrived so early? Why don't you invite Mr. Li to come here first, and let him see some of the materials we shot these days in advance."

The staff nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Mr. Li to come over."

After the staff left, Li Mu said to Spielberg: "Steven, the actor who plays opposite Tom Hanks is here. His name is Li Xuejian. He is a Chinese actor I like very much. He has played many roles. Classic characters with a variety of styles, Teacher Li’s performance in historical dramas and modern dramas is very good, and he has both virtue and skill, I believe that after you have met him, you will definitely be full of praise for him!"
