Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, update fast, no pop-up window, free to read!
To determine the timeline of "The Last Samurai", Li Mu tentatively asked Spielberg, "Steven, do you know when Tom Cruise's movie will be finished and when it will be released?" "
Spielberg shook his head and said, "I do n’t know the specifics, but the impression seems to be that it was turned on in the second half of last year. The first half of this year will definitely be able to complete the shooting, plus the later stage, if there is no problem, it should be Released at the end of the year. "
Li Mu nodded and asked him again: "If we prepare as soon as possible, when can we turn it on? When will it be released?"
Spielberg thought for a moment and said, “If it ’s fast, we should be able to turn on the camera in early March, but we can only start shooting the part of the lens in the United States in early March. While shooting, we will prepare for shooting in China. In part, if the efficiency is fast, we should be able to kill before the end of this year. In this case, it should be released next summer. "
Next summer, how could it be at least half a night later than "The Last Samurai ..."
The surface of Li Mu is silent, but my heart is secret. I can never let "The Last Samurai" get such good results and influence according to the development of history. However, what method is used to block the other side, it seems that Has become an unsolvable problem.
In any case, Li Mu has no ability to prevent the global release of a Hollywood film. Hollywood is originally a free market. If you directly target a Hollywood film and smash someone else ’s rice bowl, you will definitely encounter a strong anti-bite effect. So Li Mu can basically be sure that if you want to disturb "The Last Samurai", it is basically a fool's dream.
Li Mu changed his mind and thought, since there is no way to catch up with it, to release it earlier than it, and to directly distract it, then how can its influence be kept to a minimum?
Thinking about it, Li Mu couldn't think of a good way.
After talking with Li Mu about many details, Spielberg left and left. Li Mu asked Wang Yuanlang to send him away, turned on his computer, and searched for information about "The Last Samurai" on Google.
After entering the English name of "The Last Samurai" in Google, Li Mu soon saw a lot of entertainment news. Fortunately, the level of English is very good. These overseas website pages are no pressure for him to browse.
Li Mu carefully read every piece of information about "The Last Samurai" in looks at, and soon found that almost all of this information is entertainment reports, and they are all related to Tom Cruise, mostly reporting Tom Cruise Received news of this movie and the like.
There is no real dry goods in these reports. The plot of this movie is also ambiguous in the entertainment reports, except that Tom Cruise took a Legend story of an American civil war officer and a Japanese samurai. , And Tom Cruise played a captain who retired from the American Civil War.
In addition, there are some related interviews with director Edward Zwick. He has been selling guanzi during the interview. He just said that he is very obsessed with Japanese culture, so he created such a movie. And he also revealed that Tom Cruise himself is also particularly obsessed with Japanese culture and has carefully prepared this movie for two years.
The reporter also asked Edward Zwick if he could roughly reveal the plot of the movie. Edward Zwick was very cautious about this. Like Tom Cruise, he only said a little The basic summary of the story is just that this is a story that happened between an American civil war soldier and a Japanese warrior, but he did n’t want to disclose the specific story at all. The reporter tried to ask more, but he digressed. It is said that this movie is the collision and combination of Western culture and Eastern culture, and it will definitely awe the audience after the release.
Then Li Mu found some other news, and collected some useful news. For example, this movie was officially opened on October 10, 2002. It is expected to be successful in May this year, and the total investment of this movie, It even reached his mother's 140 million USD!
Li Mu's secret speech, good guy, 140 million USD is 40 million USD higher than his "Flying Tigers" budget. This movie is such a big investment that there is no secret support from a Japanese consortium behind it. .
Li Mu suddenly felt that "The Last Samurai" is likely to be like his "Flying Tigers". surpassing front ranking stars, Hollywood ordinary members, big investment, big scenes, big productions, there are commercial movie atmospheres everywhere, But at the core, it is a kind of cultural output that is clever.
It is likely that behind "The Last Samurai" there is also a gold master like himself, but he wants to export China culture, China spirit and China history, while the other party wants to export Japanese culture and Bushido spirit.
The more you think about Li Mu, the more likely you are to make inferences, and the more you think about it, the more determined you are that you must find a way to disturb the movie ’s determination.
Afterwards, Li Mu found some set makeup photos that the crew intended to release. Among these set makeup photos, there were photos of Tom Cruise wearing 19th-century American military uniforms, and Watanabe Ken and Sanada Hiroki wearing warriors. There are also photos of Kato Little Xue wearing traditional Japanese clothes.
Tom Cruise is indeed one of the pinnacles of Hollywood film stars. Wearing military uniforms from two centuries ago, he can also look heroic and handsome.
However, Li Mu suddenly realized a problem and set aside other subjective factors. Li Mu had to admit that in the movie "The Last Samurai", all the visual presentations about Japan are very beautiful, which can be said to be painstaking, no matter what Whether it is character modeling, clothing item(s) or landscape architecture, all are extremely attentive, all of which are creating a beautiful visual effect.
So, in the impression of Li Mu, the image of Tom Cruise wearing a Japanese warrior armor is more handsome than his image wearing a military uniform, why the crew did not send out the set makeup of his image ?
Li Mu thought about it and suddenly figured out something!
The crew of "The Last Samurai" hides the plot of this movie very carefully!
General movies generally release 30% or more, and then attract the attention of users, but the current story of this movie is even less than 10%. They only released the background of the story and the starting point of the story. No deeper plot was revealed.
Even they did not expose the stills of Tom Cruise wearing a warrior uniform. That is to say, they did n’t even want to let the audience advance Zhixiao. Tom Cruise would become a warrior in this movie.
Li Mu guessed that they should do this to ensure the suspense of the movie.
The structure of this movie is very interesting. How Tom Cruise was invited and decided to go to Japan to train the army and how to command the army to fight is actually just an introduction. In the true sense, the main storyline is from Tom. The moment Cruise was captured by Watanabe began.
Tom Cruise changed from an instructor to a captive, and was gradually brainwashed by Watanabe ’s samurai spirit, and eventually became a warrior fighting alongside him. This is the true main storyline of the story.
So, under this kind of plot structure, once Tom Cruise, who is a retired American soldier, puts on a set photo of a Japanese warrior uniform, then basically the plot can be guessed, the crew must be right The plot is kept secret, so it is so cautious.
At this time, Li Mu suddenly realized that a dark trick suddenly sprung up in Li Mu's mind.
Are n’t you hiding from tampering? OK, I have watched this movie several times. Except for the dialogue, I may not remember clearly, but I can remember every detail of the whole plot. If I write down all the details of the plot and throw it online Go, and then push it with water army. When you find that your script is almost all moved to the Internet, what should you do?
And, I ’m not as simple as revealing your plot, I have to hack you!
Yes, although, your movie is really good, but at the height of nationalism, I still want to hack you!
Actually, Li Mu knows clearly that "The Last Samurai" is good enough to watch the movie although, but the plot really ca n’t stand serious scrutiny, and the prototype of the movie is not so noble and pure incarnation of the so-called Bushido spirit, but A group of warriors fight against the government in order to maintain their privileges, and finally become a rebel. The movie changes the story and extols its abilities. It may itself hide some deep interests.
And this movie is released at this critical time, so Li Mu feels that he must be black and must be black!
The specific routine Li Mu is almost the same, for example:
"I thought it was a movie. After reading the script, I felt that there was dog blood everywhere. The friends on the surface became enemies, but the enemies on the surface became friends. This kind of routine Hollywood shoots at least a few hundred a year. Come out? "
"After watching the script, I am not interested in this movie anymore. If Tom Cruise keeps making such bad films that I ca n’t stand, I ’m afraid I wo n’t get the Oscars in this life."
"Damn! I really ca n’t imagine Tom Cruise playing such a nonsense movie, killing the husband of a Japanese woman, but the Japanese woman fell in love with the murderer. Did n’t you see the script? Imagine if someone killed you and your wife fell in love with him, what is your mood? "
In addition to these, Li Mu also wanted to pick up the nationalism spirit of the Americans in the dark, and let the American people subconsciously exclude this movie, for example:
"How much did you get the Japanese from the director? What is it about you to tout the extreme Bushido spirit of the Japanese so painstakingly? Did you know that Japanese soldiers who believed in the spirit of extreme Bushido during World War II, How many crimes have been committed globally? "
"Don't this **** silly dog director forget the Kamikaze commando during World War II? They screamed that the Bushido spirit drove down and all of them were our American warships! It was our American compatriots who killed them. Ah, maybe there are your elders and relatives here. You are so brazen to wash this extreme martial arts spirit, and your face is really disgusting! "
"F * ck! This silly X director, I really recommend him to learn about the battlefields of Papua New Guinea during World War II. Did you know that Japanese soldiers who adore the spirit of extreme Japanese Bushido once committed to eat here? The crime of American captives?! "
"Although it is a peaceful age, we should not have too much nationalism, but I was really disgusted by the director. You, an American, have racked their brains to promote their nationalism for the Japanese, then I think Excuse me, where is the nationalism that belongs to Americans? "
"An adult should have the right view of right and wrong. Unfortunately, this director does not. He does n’t know that he is actually chanting, but is actually the spirit of the devil. He has long forgotten history, in his eyes. There is only interest, whoever gives him money, he will sing praises for whom, I really doubt if the descendants of the Nazis will find him and give him a sum of money, he is willing to make such a whitewashed film for the Nazis, I feel shudder at the thought! "
"OMG, I decided not to watch this silly director X movie from today!"
"Shit! More than his movie, I don't even want to watch Tom Cruise's movie!"
"God-Damn! I think we need to appeal to our American compatriots, as well as all countries and people who have been hurt by this extreme Bushido spirit, let's boycott this movie together!"
Unconsciously, the drama Li Mu has made up a lot of various water army speeches, and more and more feels handy, and wrote ten 7-8 in one breath.
At a certain moment, Li Mu also feels that he is doing this, is it a bit low and a bit excessive.
But the next second, Li Mu was calm in his heart, secretly: It does n’t matter, anyway, I am shameless ...
