Chapter 1631 1 Cavity of Blood Is Not Cold
? Spielberg's royal photographer took many outstanding photos for the seniors of the Flying Tigers. Li Mu instructed the staff of the Veterans Immortality Foundation who followed the old man from the rest center, and asked them to take the photos as soon as possible after returning to Spring City. These photos were developed into albums and given to these old people as souvenirs.
Everyone was thrilled that these venerable old men had fulfilled their greatest wish.
After the photo was taken, an old American Flying Tiger team member touched his World War II U.S. Air Force jacket and said excitedly: "This jacket feels exactly the same as it did back then, no matter the style, cut, material, feel, it's all the same. We were the same when we were young."
The props manager of the crew explained: "These uniforms are remade based on the actual Flying Tigers uniforms, and like the uniforms of the past, these are also hand-sewn in the United States, and even the materials are produced in the United States. ."
The old man nodded again and again, and said with emotion: "You guys are really attentive. Whether it's the plane, the uniform, or even other props, they all reproduce the actual situation of the year to the maximum extent, and even the cartoon inkjet painting on the plane is exactly the same."
Other seniors also agreed that war films with such a high degree of reduction and detail can best evoke their deepest memories.
Li Mu found Spielberg and whispered to him: "These old seniors have almost lost their uniforms, so let's give them a gift of these replica uniforms."
Spielberg said almost without hesitation: "Then ask them to keep these uniforms. After we finish filming, all the uniforms can be given to the old Flying Tigers players. If there are not enough, we can customize them to the factory. "
Li Mu nodded, and after thanking him, he told every old Flying Tiger team member who arrived at the scene today about his decision.
Every old man was very excited when he learned that he could keep the Flying Tigers uniform on his body as a souvenir. Mr. Han Zili was the most exaggerated. He directly touched the clothes on his body and said to his son in a Sichuan accent: "Give it to me. Hear, when I die, send me to cremation, wash this uniform, fold it neatly, and put it in my coffin."
The old gentleman's son hurriedly said, "Dad, what are you talking about! You are in good health, and you can live for more than ten years."
Mr. Han said: "You son of a turtle is talking nonsense, don't you still have to die if you live for more than ten years? If you die, you have to go to the ground to be safe? I have been in the ground for a long time, you will give it to me and put it in the coffin for a long time, listen. Do you understand Mai?"
The old gentleman's son nodded quickly: "I understand, I understand, you can rest assured..."
Li Mu was very emotional when he saw it on the side,
For these old people, a replica of the military uniform has such a high status in their hearts, it can be seen that their hearts are still warm.
Several old people wore the same military uniforms as they were in the past, and they lingered at the airport for a long time, and they left the airport reluctantly before dark.
Li Mu escorted them to the car and promised them that he would apply to the local government. After the filming was completed, the place would be preserved for a long time and expanded to make it a highly restored World War II Flying Tigers airport, and open it to the public. It is free and open. At that time, he will arrange a special person here to introduce the story of the Flying Tigers to all tourists.
Li Mu's promise made all the old people gratified. For them, what they really hoped is that people will remember the war, not their people, but the cruelty of war, the preciousness of peace and the greatness of the nation.
After saying goodbye to these old people, Li Mu immediately posted the photos of these old people on his Weibo with the laptop and wireless network card that Li Ziwei carried with him.
Li Mu selected a total of nine photos, including personal photos of several elderly people, as well as their group photos, and then matched the text: "To all the Flying Tigers and all the martyrs who shed their blood for justice in World War II, With the utmost respect."
In the photo, although the old people are old-fashioned, everyone's standing posture is as straight as possible, and everyone's expressions have a kind of perseverance deep in their bones. Their wrinkles are so deep, it seems that each one contains endless vicissitudes and stories.
As soon as this Weibo was posted, it immediately became popular on Weibo and titter platforms. A large number of netizens, regardless of nationality, commented and retweeted. Almost all the comments were touching, salute, and salute words.
After Li Mu posted on Weibo, he had a meal with everyone in the crew. Since he was going back to Yanjing tomorrow, and he had to take away Du Wei, who had already finished, he deliberately drank a few more glasses of wine with everyone.
Although Du Wei doesn't drink much, she still takes the initiative to hold a red wine glass and toast to everyone. She is the youngest in the entire production team, and she has always been taken care of by everyone, so she feels a lot of reluctance. After drinking a glass of red wine, her eyes turned red before her tender cheeks.
With red eyes, Du Wei said to everyone in English, "I have learned a lot from getting along with everyone during this period of time, and I have also received a lot of care from everyone. Thank you very much, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future."
"I'll definitely save you a role in my next movie, no matter what my next movie is," Spielberg said with a smile.
Anne Hathaway reached out and held Du Wei's hand, like her sister doting on her younger sister, she said with a doting face: "I will come to the United States when I have time, and no matter how busy I am, I will definitely accompany you."
Du Wei nodded, looked at Anne Hathaway, and said seriously: "You also have to come to Huaxia often and come to Yanjing to play with me. Can you live in my house then, my parents and sisters are very good Well, you'll love them."
Anne Hathaway involuntarily glanced at Li Mu from the corner of her eye, nodded lightly, and said, "As long as there is a chance, I will definitely go to Yanjing to find you."
Li Mu didn't notice Anne Hathaway's affectionate eyes, he was busy pushing cups with Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Leonardo.
Inside Li Mu's body is a middle-aged soul whose actual age is in his thirties. Among the people in the crew, he feels that he has a more common language with these three seniors.
Li Mu asked Spielberg: "After our school is almost ready, what are your plans for the next movie?"
Spielberg shook his head and said, "I have several books in my hand, but I haven't decided which one to shoot."
Li Mu asked with a smile, "Is there a preference for that?"
Spielberg thought for a while and said, "I'm more interested in a book that is more attentive. This is a true incident. It is about an Iranian exile in France in the late 1980s because he had no refugee documents. A series of stories about the stranded at Charles de Gaulle airport."
Li Mu suddenly realized that he knew the story Spielberg told. The movie was later made by him. The name of the movie was "Happy Terminal". The main actor in the play was Tom Hanks, who was sitting opposite Li Mu.
To tell the truth, this movie is really great, similar to "Forrest Gump", very touching and inspirational, but after seeing "Flying Tigers" from scratch, Li Mu felt that Spielberg should make it For some movies with larger themes, warm and inspirational movies, he has already contributed a "Forrest Gump", there is no need to continue to invest.
So he asked Spielberg, "Steve, why don't you consider continuing to make a World War II movie?"
Spielberg was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I've made too many movies about World War II, and I also supervised a "Band of Brothers", and I've done enough."
Li Mu nodded and said seriously: "World War II is actually a big subject, and I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that World War II is the largest and most extensive subject in human history. The major historical stages that affect human development, such as revolutions and great voyages, are much larger."
Spielberg asked curiously: "Why do you think so? From the perspective of human development, the industrial revolution and the great seafaring are actually much more important, right?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "In my opinion, the breadth of World War II is because it covered and affected the whole world, and it almost reshuffled the whole world, and its depth is Because it not only touches on the darkest side of human development so far, but also touches on the greatest side of human development so far."
After speaking, Li Mu paused, and then said: "Throughout the history of human beings, we may not be able to find an existence that is more cruel, dark, and inhumane than Japan during World War II. Similarly, there has never been anything like the World War II era in human history. In that way, so many great and noble heroes have emerged."
"In China, even a child soldier who is not as tall as a teenage rifle can put his life and death aside. In order to blow up the invader's tank, the soldier is willing to strap a grenade to his body and die with the invader;"
"In Eastern Europe, in order to defend the motherland, the Soviets marched on the corpses of their compatriots and resisted the invaders with their flesh and blood; in Western Europe, the French government surrendered the guerrillas and still resisted the Communist Party, and Britain was bombed to pieces and never gave up resistance. ;In order to help the side of justice, millions of soldiers went to European battlefields and Asian battlefields, just like Ryan in your movie, none of their three brothers died to defend their motherland, but to defend their own country. Human justice..."
Speaking of this, Li Mu sighed and said, "I personally feel that at least tens of thousands of different types of film and television dramas can be made in a single World War II. In that special environment, not only major events deserve to be made into film and television dramas, even if only A small microcosm can also make an excellent film, just like you condensed the entire massacre of the Jews into a "Schindler's List", and there is a director in Huaxia who made a film. The movie is called "The Devil is Coming". This movie is the exact opposite of "Schindler's List". He focused on a small village during World War II in China, although the movie did not rise to the same level as "Schindler's List". High, but it is also a very good World War II movie, which shows that there is still a lot of room for development of World War II movies.”
