Chapter 1624 Back to the War Years

? When most of the cast and crew gathered in the tent, Li Mu asked Wang Yuen Long and several on-site assistants to bring in more than 100 bottles of wine that he had brought in, and said to everyone, "Everyone has worked hard here. It's been so long, and it's almost time to finish, so I specially brought you some pretty good wine, and tonight we'll have a celebration party ahead of time."

Spielberg said with a smile: "It looks like everyone will be drunk tonight."

Li Mu said, "Stephen, hurry up and arrange the work at hand so that everyone can finish work as soon as possible."

Spielberg nodded and said with a smile: "Our chef has already started preparing for today's dinner. Today, we will drive to Spring City and buy various ingredients for two pickups."

Li Mu said with satisfaction: "Today's celebration banquet is to be grand, and we will cooperate with a wave of media publicity to let the public have a deeper impression of the film "Flying Tigers"."

With that said, Li Mu looked at Leonardo, Tom Hanks, and Liu Ye, the three leading actors. All three of them were still wearing costumes, that is, the U.S. Air Force jackets during World War II, black jackets, beige khakis. Pants and brown high-top leather boots, although very modern, but even with the current aesthetic, they are absolutely handsome.

Moreover, Leonardo's appearance is against the sky, and he is now at the peak of his appearance. Such a dress is simply perfect.

Liu Ye's appearance is also considered first-class, and he is tougher than most of the creamy niches, so wearing such an air force dress is not much better than Leonardo.

Although Tom Hanks is a little older and his appearance is slightly inferior to that of a young actor, the best thing about this eldest brother is that he is acting. He dressed up and went to that station, saying that it was Chennault, it was Chennault. Wearing a pair of aviator sunglasses and a cigar will definitely captivate a large number of female audiences.

Li Mu suddenly thought, why not take advantage of the sunset outside and take a photo with the three main actors on the runway outside and in front of the fighter plane? Then publish it on your own Weibo, needless to say, it must be very explosive, and the publicity effect must be very good.

Thinking of this, Li Mu immediately asked Spielberg, "Steven, is there an Air Force uniform that I can wear?"

"Yes." Spielberg blurted out: "We have prepared more than a hundred sets of Flying Tigers uniforms, do you want to try it?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Find me a suit. I will go out with the three leading actors to take a group photo and post it on my Weibo."

Spielberg's eyes lit up.

He knew very well,

Now the celebrity with the highest traffic in the world is not any star, but Li Mu.

If Li Mu posted a group photo with the three leading actors on Weibo, I am afraid that within a day, the group photo would spread all over the world.

Thinking of this, Spielberg hurriedly said to the assistant beside him: "Go and find a suitable suit for Mr. Li, hurry up!"

Ten minutes later, Li Mu walked out of a single-person tent provided by the crew wearing a well-fitted U.S. World War II Air Force uniform.

As soon as he came out, everyone looked at him and applauded, and even a few young Americans even pulled a long whistle.

Li Mu shook his black bomber jacket and asked with a smile, "How is it, does it mean that?"

Du Wei stared at Li Mu and said seriously, "Brother Li Mu, although saying something like this will offend Brother Liu Ye, I still want to say that you should play the role of Brother Liu Ye in this movie!"

Anne Hathaway was also a little stunned when she looked at Li Mu. Recently, when filming in China, oriental men have watched a lot. Although the impression is good, from the aesthetic point of view, oriental men are not for a standard western woman like her. What an attraction.

She had a little affection for Li Mu in her heart, and she often fantasized about the image of her being in a relationship, but what attracted her to Li Mu was not her appearance.

However, when Li Mu changed into an Air Force pilot uniform and came out with black pilot sunglasses, she discovered for the first time that Li Mu was indeed very handsome, even from her own Western perspective. pressing.

There was no mirror in the tent, so Li Mu himself didn't know what he looked like. However, when he stood side by side with the three leading actors, Leonardo, Tom Hanks, and Liu Ye, even if he couldn't see himself It seemed that he had traveled back to that war-torn era, as if he was really one of the pilots of the Flying Tigers, as if he was about to drive a not far away with his Chinese and American comrades in arms. A fighter jet painted with the image of a big shark took off and fought fiercely with the fighter jets of the Japanese invaders in the long sky.

Spielberg called over the cameraman of his own crew. This is his royal photographer, but now he is asking him to take over the camera work and let him take pictures for Li Mu and the other three leading actors.

Spielberg feels that 20% of the scene, momentum, and mood are in the equipment, 30% in the composition, and 50% in the use of light. If you want to take awesome photos, just like taking awesome movie images, the photographer must Extremely knowledgeable about the use of light, whether it is ambient light or instrument light.

As a result, Hollywood's top photographers picked up their SLR cameras and photographed Li Mu, Liu Ye, Leonardo, and Tom Hanks under the golden and bloody sunset on the Yunshang Plateau. Photo.

At this time is the most beautiful time of the sunset, the burning clouds in the sky are fiery red and spectacular, they are wearing exactly the same air force uniforms as those of that era, with the red earth rammed airport runway under their feet, and several American P-40C fighters behind them. The photos look extraordinarily real, as if they suddenly bring people back to the war-torn era.

The P-40C was the main aircraft used by the Flying Tigers in China at that time. These aircraft were all painted with shark mouths in China at that time. It can be said that they are the most familiar American fighters of World War II in China.

When the photo was taken, the P-40C fighter jets at the airport were all painted with fully restored shark mouths. Moreover, Spielberg told Li Mu that these planes were all real P-40Cs, which he specially purchased from the United States. A P-40C found in a civilian flying club, well maintained and ready for launch.

According to Spielberg, although there are not too many fighter jets on the airport, the scene here will undergo earth-shaking changes after post-processing computer effects, and the visual effects are at least ten times more spectacular than the actual situation.

Everyone on the scene was extremely satisfied with this photo. No matter it was the shooting technique, or the expressions, movements, aura of everyone in the photo, or even the historical restoration of this photo, there was nothing wrong with it.

Spielberg even said: "I really want to use this photo as a promotional poster, this photo looks so much better than Tom Cruise's "Top Gun"!"

"Top Gun" itself is already a very enthusiastic air force film. It is understandable to say that it is the number one air force film. However, Spielberg feels that after the release of "Flying Tigers", it will be comprehensive in various fields. Crush "Top Gun".

For example, the actual budget of "Flying Tigers" is higher than that of "TopGun", and the behind-the-scenes and starring teams are more valuable than "TopGun". Moreover, "Flying Tigers" has Li Mu's support behind it, and its publicity resources are also better than "TopGun". Stronger than an order of magnitude.

More importantly, "Top Gun" is more like an idol drama as a whole, while "Flying Tigers" is completely based on real history, and the historical weight of the latter has an absolute crush on the former.

Spielberg has made many war films. Among them, the film "Saving Private Ryan" he directed is almost recognized as one of the best war movies; and "Band of Brothers" he produced is also recognized as one of the best. It is the best war-themed TV series. Spielberg's experience tells him that, in terms of historical importance, there is no theme that can compare to World War II.

Therefore, in Spielberg's eyes, "Flying Tigers" will definitely become one of the top war movies, possibly surpassing the achievements of "Saving Private Ryan" and becoming the king of war movies.

Li Mu is also sparing no effort to promote "Flying Tigers", and his goal is not only to make the Chinese and American people pay attention to this film and this history, his goal is to attract the attention of the world, let the world People are paying attention to this movie and this history, so he traveled all the way here to visit the class and add some topicality to the movie.

After Li Mu got this photo that made him very satisfied, he immediately uploaded the photo to his Weibo through the laptop he carried with him, and added the text: "Visit the crew of "Flying Tigers" Shooting the scene, pay tribute to all the pilots who fought against the invaders over China for justice and peace during World War II!"

As soon as the photo was posted, it immediately became the biggest hit on Weibo.
