Chapter 1803 Official Release
After Spielberg's speech, Tom Hanks, Leonardo, Liu Ye, Du Wei and Anne Hathaway also expressed their thoughts on participating in the film.
Talking about the history and the details of the shooting, all the actors also expressed emotion from abroad.
After the main creator was interviewed, Chen Wan picked up the microphone and said, "When it comes to the movie "Flying Tigers", we have to mention one other person, who is behind everything that makes this movie possible In the end, he is the chairman of Muye Technology, Mr. Li Muli, let us applaud."
Li Mu, who was in a black suit, walked out of the side door and stepped onto the small stage.
After the applause, Chen Wan came to Li Mu and asked him, "Mr. Li, what prompted you to invest 200 million US dollars to make such a movie?"
Li Mu said seriously: "There are many reasons, but the most important thing is that the story of this movie and the real history behind the story moved me. As we all know, we have done public welfare activities for veterans to die before, and we also went to the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains for interviews. I have condolences to the old Flying Tigers back then. I have always been full of respect for these veterans who fought bloody battles for the country and even gave their lives, so I also really wanted to make a movie that pays tribute to them. I just happened to see Spielberg's film The script, so I decided to invest without hesitation at that time.”
Chen Wan nodded and asked again, "Then how much do you think this movie can score if you get a perfect score of 10?"
Li Mu said without hesitation: "Ten points. In my heart, it is a full-fledged movie. It fully respects history, fully respects martyrs, and fully respects the feelings between people."
Chen Wan said: "I have seen some comments from foreign road show audiences. They said that at the end of the movie, the American nurse played by Annie died alone because of the sacrifice of her lover. Is it a bit too cruel? Do you think it will be so cruel in reality? feelings?"
Li Mu said: "I think the reality itself is all-encompassing, and any kind of feelings will appear in reality. Some people know that their lover died in battle, and they will be sad for a while, and then they will be strong and start a new relationship and life. Some people may be unable to control themselves for a long time, even if they start a new relationship, they still miss the one who has left in their hearts, and some people will silently guard that relationship until the end."
"For a character like Annie, her choice of feelings is not necessarily cruel to this character. Maybe it is really cruel to force her to forget what she loves and start a new life, just like Pu Shu's song " As sung in "White Birch Forest", the young lover died in the battle to protect the family and the country. The girl still has unforgettable feelings for him even when she is gray-haired. Even at the end of her life, she still thinks about that person, and That birch forest."
Chen Wan nodded in agreement and asked, "Mr. Li, this movie will be released soon, how much do you expect from the box office?"
Li Mu said: "I hope the box office of "Flying Tigers" can surpass that of "Titanic", but how much it can achieve depends on the actual assessment of the market."
After speaking, Li Mu asked again, saying: "By the way, one thing I want to tell all the audience is that all the net profits from this movie will be used to set up an Anti-Japanese War Film Fund, which will be used to support the domestic film industry. On the premise of respecting history, the director of the film shoots films about the Anti-Japanese War, and the profits generated by the fund investment will continue to be used to invest in more anti-Japanese films, and I promise not to embezzle a penny of it.”
Li Mu never thought about making money by making movies like "Flying Tigers".
What he really wants to do is to present the War of Resistance in China to the world on the big screen, so that people can know the sacrifices and sacrifices of the Chinese people in that era.
However, in order to achieve this, it is far from enough to rely on a "Flying Tigers", so it is necessary to mobilize the enthusiasm of all filmmakers.
For a long time in China, there has been a rather embarrassing phenomenon. There are many TV dramas about the Anti-Japanese War.
But there are very few big screen movies, and the reason is nothing more than the word utilitarian.
Filming anti-Japanese TV dramas has low cost, good sales, and relatively loose censorship, so everyone just chased after me, and filmed a lot of magical anti-Japanese dramas, tearing devils by hand, hidden mines in the crotch, and Gatling armed with three jumps. Subs, grenade dry planes, and steamed buns grenades are all produced in batches by those screenwriters and directors who are not responsible for history;
For a big-screen movie with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, the investment must be huge if you want to make it well, and the theme is not a commercial film. A few people play a road comedy, and they can win a dozen or two billion box office. Who else is willing to work hard to make it? Anti-war movie?
The hot money in the film and television industry also likes to invest in more entertaining film and television projects, so the themes of the Anti-Japanese War will naturally become less and less.
If you set up a fund yourself to specialize in high-quality anti-Japanese war movies, I believe it will be able to promote this area.
For example, if a director gets a script with the theme of the Anti-Japanese War, he roughly estimates that it will cost at least 100 million to shoot well, and no one is willing to cast it. In the end, the script can only be thrown aside.
However, after the establishment of this fund, 100 million yuan can come to its own fund to ask for it. If the fund thinks that the script is fine, the director is fine, and the casting is fine, it will invest without hesitation, and then give the director an advance notice. If you keep a part of the box office share, you will make a lot of money if you make a big hit.
Using this model to promote this piece of literary and artistic works will definitely bring about qualitative changes.
But for a long time, domestic anti-Japanese movies have fallen into more and more deep entertainment and transitional entertainment because no one has done such a thing.
Even if a variety show is cut in one episode, you can make money in the hospital. In this market environment, who would want to make anti-Japanese war movies in the dirt?
Li Mu roughly predicts that "Flying Tigers" can at least earn more than one billion US dollars at the global box office. At that time, except for the cost, the box office split, and part of the split for Spielberg, the rest will be less to say. There are also three or four billion US dollars, which is equivalent to two or three billion yuan.
The investment in a single domestic movie is not high, so 23 billion can at least support 30 to 40, or even 40 or 50 movies, and it is definitely impossible to directly cast dozens of movies as soon as they come up, and cast one a year. Part seven or eight, or eleven or two, some lose money, some are tied, and some make money, so basically they can turn around.
As soon as the news came out, many domestic film directors expressed their great support and appreciation.
The price of excessive marketization is that everyone is more and more profit-seeking, less and less responsible, and more and more that patriotism is your business and his business, and making money is my business. When people think this way, more and more people The cultural industry will naturally become worse and worse.
Li Mu's decision to make such a decision at this time has indeed brought a great stream of clarity to the cultural industry.
...
Afterwards, Li Mu took time to participate in four of the roadshows.
In other words, he followed half of ten roadshows.
For a CEO of multiple companies, it is really the limit that he can spare so much time.
The ten road shows of "Flying Tigers", wherever they go, the media are chasing reports like crazy every day.
The domestic media, on the central stage and on the local stage, all have great expectations for this film, and spare no effort to promote the film.
Even the industry and commerce department and the public security department have entered the stage of joint law enforcement, preparing to jointly combat all piracy after the release of "Flying Tigers".
In the past, the piracy of commercial films may have passed by turning a blind eye, but this film is of great significance.
It not only represents history, but also represents an output of China in the world.
In the words of Li Mu on Weibo and Twitter, we film and promote "Flying Tigers", not to make money, and not to sell badly. All our purposes are to salvage this history from the long river of history. Recover it, let as many people as possible see it and understand it.
This is respect for history and respect for heroes.
Two days before the film's release, online ticket sales were launched in all release areas and all theaters.
In less than an hour, all the seats in all theaters and screenings around the world have been sold out.
Before July 7, the box office on the first day has been locked in advance.
The whole of China, including mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, made 30 million US dollars at the box office on the first day. This is because all the screens have been included.
In Japan and South Korea, the box office on the first day was 12 million US dollars, of which Japan accounted for about 70%.
U.S. and Canada, $60 million on the first day;
Four European countries, the first day of box office more than 8 million.
Before the movie was released, the box office on the first day had already exceeded 100 million US dollars.
The whole world was shocked.
The cinema line is also very powerful, and it has almost done its best to arrange the most resources for "Flying Tigers" during this time period.
The summer season itself is a very competitive time.
However, in this schedule, the "Flying Tigers" is the dominant family.
It is said that the announcement of "Flying Tigers" has caused the collapse of many propaganda teams that released movies in the same period or recently.
The reason is that Li Mu used the Internet resources to the extreme.
The entire internet is full of advertisements for this movie.
And Li Mu's online ticketing system has always hung the huge banner of "Flying Tigers".
Almost all the studios around the world have put up promotional materials for "Flying Tigers", which is almost full coverage.
For the audience, they have been attracted by "Flying Tigers" all about the movie's attention, after all, this movie brings together too many eye-catching elements.
This made other films pound their chests, but there was no way at all, they could only serve as cannon fodder for "Flying Tigers" during this schedule.
So, on July 7th.
"Flying Tigers" was officially released with the greatness and tenacity of the Chinese people in World War II!
