Chapter 1796 "Twenty-One Guns" Released

A few days later, "Flying Tigers" got the dragon logo.

The film itself has been well received by the higher authorities, so the Dragon Biao went very smoothly.

With the dragon sign in hand, the global release will be put on the agenda.

Li Mu hopes to release it on July 7, because this day is the anniversary of the 77 Incident, the beginning of Japan's all-out war of aggression against China, and the day of national disaster for the Chinese nation.

Released on this day, it has extraordinary historical significance.

The various information released sporadically has aroused the eager attention of a large number of users to "Flying Tigers" in the Internet world.

Not only the Chinese world is looking forward to the release of the film, but also European and American countries, as well as domestic public opinion in South Korea, are also full of expectations and curiosity about the film.

European and American countries lack sufficient understanding of Asian history. Even in the hearts of many ordinary people in Europe and America, the main battlefield of World War II was actually the European battlefield. The Asian battlefield seems to them to be irrelevant. They remember to commit every crime of Germany, but Little is known about the crimes of Japanese imperialism.

They know about Auschwitz, about the surrender of France, about the air raid on London, about Dunkirk, about the Battle of Stalingrad, about the Normandy landings, but not necessarily about the September 18th Incident, the July 7th Incident, and the Jinling Massacre.

However, when they saw the promotion of the film, they gradually became interested in the film.

This is largely thanks to four strong labels.

First, Hollywood;

The second, Spielberg;

The third, Hollywood star lineup;

Fourth, Li Mu.

The first three are closely linked to Hollywood. The box office market in Europe and the United States is almost the backyard of Hollywood. Everyone is used to watching Hollywood movies, just like they were used to watching Hong Kong movies in the 1990s in mainland China.

These three labels are the key reasons why they want to go to the cinema to watch the movie.

It's not that they have any rejection of movies with Chinese elements, the main reason is that the power of Chinese movies has not covered them.

This is also the key to why Li Mu must be pulled into Hollywood to make movies together.

They'll just buy a ticket to the cinema because of Spielberg's name, no matter what the movie is made of.

They will also buy tickets to see Leonardo, Tom Hanks and Anne Hathaway because of their fame.

Of course, among young people and Internet users, there are still some fans of Li Mu, who will also buy tickets to support Li Mu, but Li Mu's appeal at the movie box office is obviously worse than those of Spielberg. Far.

The propaganda in Japan and South Korea is also advancing simultaneously, but the attitudes of the two countries towards the film are very different.

It is rare for the Korean people to go all out to support a film made by Chinese people, while the Japanese people have a certain resistance to the content of the film.

In fact, the triangular relationship between the nationals of China, South Korea and Japan is very complicated, and they all have some prejudice against each other.

If you look closely, you will find that the general public in these three countries, if you are with people from any of the other two countries, will have a certain prejudice against the third country.

For example, when Koreans and Japanese talk about China, they will say that China has too much population, too much development, and too much invisible pressure on neighboring countries;

While Chinese and Koreans talk about Japan, they will talk about the common experience of the two ethnic groups during World War II. Everyone has the same extreme indignation at the ******'s vain attempt to deny the history of World War II;

And when Chinese and Japanese talk about Korea, they can often reach a consensus like confidants: this world is ours and yours, but in the end it belongs to Korea.

In general, these are three peoples whose love and hate have been intertwined for thousands of years.

Now that China and Hollywood have co-produced "Flying Tigers", the Korean people immediately feel that they are on the same front as the Chinese people and this movie.

Although "Flying Tigers" does not have any content about the Korean nation's resistance to Japanese aggression,

But after all, they are all resisting the Japanese invaders, so you made a film like this, and you invested such a large amount of money and cast. As a person who had the same experience as you, I also feel relieved and honored.

The Japanese people are somewhat resistant, and it is not a high-profile protest, but most people will have a somewhat unfriendly premonition in their hearts. After all, this film is about resisting the Japanese invaders, which will make them feel a little guilty.

...

After the film launched its global promotion, the official Weibo Twitter of "Flying Tigers" released the first trailer.

The one-minute-long trailer uses a quick cut method to edit the most burning clips and scenes in the film, with a passionate soundtrack. Once released, it will arouse the amazement of netizens around the world.

Whether it's Tom Hanks in a general's uniform, or Leon Ando and Liu Ye in an air force jacket, everyone is a standard tough guy, and their acting skills are also superb. Several explosive shots are put together. , coupled with the heroic aerial battle scene, people saw the hair stand upright.

Just one minute of the trailer completely raised the public's anticipation for the movie to a new level.

At this point, there is still a month and a half before the movie is released.

Three days later, the second trailer was released.

The one-and-a-half-minute-long trailer features Anne Hathaway as a nurse and Du Wei as a farm girl for the first time.

Both of them are in line with the aesthetics of Eastern and Western people, and their appearance has continued to increase the popularity of the movie.

Du Wei's name also came out of China for the first time and entered the field of vision of overseas people.

Li Mu paid attention to some comments from European and American netizens, and found that everyone had a good first impression of Du Wei, who is pure, beautiful and simple in the film, which made him very gratified.

A few days later, YYTunes, YY.com, YY pop-ups, Weibo and Twitter simultaneously released the theme song "21 Guns" of "Flying Tigers" to the world.

This song, which is all in English, has received a lot of praise in Europe and the United States as soon as it was released.

The song "21 Guns" was a very classic and highly praised single by the Green Day band in the past life. The album on which this song is located won the famous Billboard Championship in 2009 and won 52 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, and the song was also nominated for Best Rock Song at that Grammy.

The song itself has such a good foundation, even if the lead singer is replaced by Du Wei from a punk rock band, the charm of this song is not diminished in the slightest.

On the contrary, the lyrics of this song have been changed by Li Mu, so the theme of anti-war has become a tribute to the heroes who sacrificed for justice in World War II. There is a huge gap in the tone of the whole song.

The attitude of the American people to war was very different before and after World War II.

Before World War II, Americans advocated a just war, so they sent millions of young people away from the mainland to several continents to help the victimized countries resist the CCP. World War II was also a wealth, status, spiritual and other aspects of the United States itself. Harvest.

When it comes to World War II, almost no Americans have the "anti-war" sentiment. On the contrary, they regard the 400,000 American veterans who died in World War II as national glory.

After World War II, the status of American soldiers in the country was extremely high, and the people's admiration and support for the soldiers were unprecedented.

However, after the start of the Korean War, the attitude of the American people towards the war began to change.

Americans feel that World War II was fought for the sake of all mankind and world peace.

But the tens of thousands of casualties in the Korean War made it difficult for the Americans to accept, because they did not understand why their country had to go so far to interfere in a nation's own war.

Most ordinary people do not understand the so-called interests of the United States in Greater East Asia, they cannot understand, and they cannot accept that the U.S. government has killed tens of thousands of American soldiers in the mountains of the Korean peninsula.

By the time of the Vietnam War, the Americans were even more incomprehensible.

The United States fought in Vietnam for so long, with more than 60,000 dead and missing, and more than 300,000 wounded. Many Americans only know that their own soldiers were dying, wounded, and disabled in Vietnam, but they still do not understand that the war What is the reason.

It was also at that time that the American people's attitude towards war and the military changed dramatically.

They don't respect war anymore, they don't respect the military anymore, they feel that the US government's command of US troops to Vietnam, costing a lot of taxpayer money and sacrificing a lot of soldiers' lives, is simply unforgivable.

So from that time on, the anti-war sentiment in the United States began to heat up rapidly.

"Forrest Gump", also starring Tom Hanks, actually tells an American story based on the tone of the Vietnam War. In that war, the American soldiers who died could not get the sympathy of the Americans, and the disabled American soldiers It was not recognized by the Americans, and even the American soldiers themselves did not recognize the war, so various anti-war demonstrations emerged one after another in the country.

Under this general tone, Americans who have experienced the 1950s and 1960s are basically the "anti-war" generation.

If the date of birth is used to determine the generation, the post-40s in the United States are basically affected by anti-war sentiment.

The post-40s generation was a very embarrassing era. Most of them were born in the post-World War II fertility wave, and a small number were born during World War II, but even if he was born in 1940, his memory of the war was actually very vague.

When these people reached the age of seventeen or eighteen and began to have a sense of independence and resistance, they happened to be negatively affected by the Vietnam War and became the main force against the war.

They believed that in the Vietnam War, no one was a hero, and no one was great and worthy of praise, so when it was reflected in their anti-war literary and artistic works, the core point was actually: a good life is nothing but a blind man Mom fuck up.

Bob Dylan's classic "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" is a standard anti-war song, perhaps even the most famous of the anti-war songs.

Affected by him, his younger singers also grew up in the era of the anti-war wave, so if you look at the well-known rock bands in Europe and America, everyone will have one or two anti-war songs. It seems that there is no anti-war song. Into the American music scene.

However, the fundamental reason for this anti-war sentiment is that they focus on the wars that the United States participated in after the 1950s, while ignoring World War II.

Now, with a budget of 200 million US dollars, with a strong lineup and overwhelming Internet publicity, "Flying Tigers" has brought the history of World War II back to everyone. At this time, the song "21 Guns" The songs of the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the peace of mankind in World War II suddenly have a more noble core and soul.

Combining this film and this history, once "21 Guns" was released, it immediately touched countless people...
