When Li Mu heard this, his eyes were flushed.

Not only him, even the Brother Liu around him heard tears, and Anne Hathaway said nothing but tears.

No one expected that Spielberg's casually told story actually moved a table person like this.

Annie Hathaway ’s big eyes rolled into tears, sobbing and asked Spielberg: "Director Spielberg, the lonely old lady in the last scene is the American nurse in the Flying Tigers team?"

Spilberg nodded gently: "Yes."

Li Mu took a deep breath and raised his head to release it for a long time before he let the tears flow down. After finally holding back the tears, he solemnly asked Spielberg: "Steven, the guy who made this movie How long does the budget take? "

Spielberg said: "Aside from the cast lineup, with the labor cost, resource cost and price level of China, I believe the production cost of the movie should not exceed 50 million USD, it is likely that 35 million USD It can be done very well, but the up and down space for the cost of actors is very large, mainly depends on the casting. "

Li Mu said without hesitation: "The male number one must be Tom Hanks, the male number three must be Leonardo DiCaprio, the role of the female nurse of the Flying Tigers, I hope that Anne Come and star, and then pair with some Hollywood acting skills good enough supporting roles. "

Li Mu's voice just dropped, and Anne Hathaway hastily, who had been sad and weeping, waved her hand and said in a panic: "Mr. Li, this role is too thick, I can't control it ..."

Li Mu looks at she asked in reverse: "Why can't you control it? You must be unable to control the old female nurse. This must be handed over to the makeup artist, but no one is more suitable for you than the young female nurse!"

Anne Hathaway whispered subconsciously: "Mr. Li, I ... I was afraid that I could not play such a role, discrediting the whole movie ..."

"No." Li Mu said firmly: "Annie, I believe my vision, this movie, this character, in my opinion is tailor-made for you!"

Spirberg could not help nodding at this time and said, "Annie, Mr. Li is right, this role really belongs to you!"

Anne Hathaway looks at Spielberg, and looks at Li Mu, seeing the two people ’s eyes are exceptionally persistent and full of encouragement, ca n’t help but nodding with tears, holding a fist and saying, "Then I will do my best This character ... "

"This is the attitude I want!" Li Mu taught slightly, nodded, and then asked Spielberg: "Steven, what kind of lineup does this lineup require? What about the salary budget?"

Spielberg hesitated a little and said: "If the external quotations of the two actors are added up to 35 million USD according to Hollywood's external quotation, Anne's remuneration will be relatively low, but at least It must be around 40 million. "

Li Mu nodded, 40 million USD is expensive, but he is not able to afford it, mainly depends on whether the story is good or not.

And Spielberg ’s idea of ​​this script is personally recognized by Li Mu. In his view, this script can be regarded as a comparison in a war movie, whether it is from a historical sense or from a war scene. The theme is big, and the story elements span the eastern and western hemispheres, across the two races of China and the United States, across different cultures, different histories, and different values. In the end, they work together to fight against fascism for freedom and liberation. The original is very rare material.

Most of the World War II movies in the Western world are adapted around the story of the entire World War II European battlefield. although is the Americans who helped Britain and France fight Germany, but in the end, the whites helped the whites. From this point of view, the story of the Flying Tigers is more magnificent and more soulful than the story of the American log in Europe.

Moreover, the theme of this film is very respectful of history. No matter how high RB ’s international status is, how high it is recognized, and how thoroughly westernized, people all over the world should remember this history, remember China The sacrifices made by the people for the world must also bear in mind the damage RB has done to the people of China and the people of the world!

For this story, in order to let Westerners understand the courage and unyielding of the China nation, he is willing to spend this money!

So, with a big wave of Li Mu, he said without hesitation: "Steven, money is never a problem. This movie is set up immediately. You help me schedule a schedule with them. If I can, I hope to start as soon as possible. Preparation, as for investment, I promised 100 million USD production cost today. If DreamWorks does n’t want to invest, I do n’t need to pay a penny. I will give you 10% of the revenue share. If DreamWorks wants to invest, I will give you up to 20%. Investment space. "

The DreamWorks division is to allow Spielberg and the DreamWorks team to go all out. If they are willing to invest, it will be better. Li Mu does not need them to share their investment, but to let them really invest Come in.

Spielberg knows that Li Mu is not short of money, and tens of millions of USD or even 100 million USD is nothing to him, and the most important thing is that Li Mu has a strong appeal in China, a small-cost love Films can exceed 400 million at the box office and continue to rise. If such a big production is pushed harder, it will definitely get a higher box office return.

And his influence in Hollywood is not vegetarian. Such a China film with American elements will surely attract the attention of the American audience. And if Hollywood does overseas distribution, it is not only in North America, but in other countries. The box office is also guaranteed.

In this way, Li Mu is responsible for the release and box office of China, and DreamWorks is responsible for the release and box office of North America and other countries. As long as you perform your own duties, you can at least guarantee a total global box office of more than 300 million USD.

There is a more critical point. Li Mu'sYY has become a global super internet product. The number of users, influence, and information delivery capabilities in the world are amazingly powerful. With its blessing, the global box office can be obtained. Even further improvement, so, even if this movie really needs to spend 100 million USD total budget, it can definitely earn no loss.

Spilberg is thinking about money, while Li Mu is thinking about the image of the country and nation in the world.

He knows that if he invests tens of millions of USD and invites the Hollywood team to shoot a domestic war of resistance against Japan, as long as the budget is in place, he will be able to shoot those classic battles to the fullest, and he will certainly be able to shoot the people of China The bravery and brutality against the RB fascist aggression, and such a film may not be worse than "Save the Soldier Ryan", "Battle of Stalingrad", "Tiger" or "Blood Warsaw Ridge".

But the most critical issue is: The fundamental goal of Li Mu's is to make some commercial films about China that the whole world can accept and like. The key point is that it must be acceptable to the whole world. Absolutely commercialized, the current global film industry can be accepted by the world, only Hollywood, so the film to be done by Li Mu must let the Hollywood element come in.

Also from a business perspective, Spielberg chose such a story with Americans actually participating, otherwise if all the stories of China people are their own, the Hollywood elements cannot be visually highlighted, or there is no way Break through the world.

Moreover, the commercialization of Hollywood is really unmatched. This can be seen from Spielberg's body. He deliberately set the characters of this movie script so clearly and in sharp contrast. For commercialization considerations, whether it is background selection, drama design, or love story, it is very commercialized, full of Hollywood features.

If this movie is made, first of all, for Westerners, they will never be excluded. For Americans, this is the story of Americans helping overseas people to be free and liberated overseas. Catering to their world police psychology, and there are so many Hollywood stars and famous directors, they will definitely have a strong influence;

Not to mention the people of China. No one dared to think about the China anti-war movie with a budget of 100 million USD in 2020. Li Mu realized it. I am afraid that it will make the people of the whole country full of blood;

For the people of other countries, apart from RB, the people of the rest of the country do n’t need to think so much, Hollywood + Spirberg + Tom Hanks + Leonardo DiCaprio + One Billion USD production budget, which is enough to support them into the cinema.

The film and television works have a strong ability to inculcate values, and are the ultimate means to achieve a smooth and silent sound. If the film achieves commercial success worldwide, it will definitely achieve deeper success.

Li Mu will use this movie to let the world know the true history of China, the true China people, and the culture and spirit of China.

Spielberg and didn't expect Li Mu are so refreshing. One hundred million USD can make a decision in less than a meal. Even a well-known big director, he has never encountered such a generous and costly investor. For him, this is a great opportunity, because the budget is sufficient, he can make the film as perfect as possible, and realize all his ambitions.

So Spielberg was also very excited and said: "Mr. Li, please come to name this movie!"

Li Mu shook his head and smiled, "I can think of the best Chinese name is Zhuangzhi Lingyun, but it is already occupied by your" Top-Gun ", although I think this movie is more than" Top-Gun " The words Zhuangzhi Lingyun are applicable, but I do n’t want to crash with that kind of idol blockbuster. If you do n’t have an opinion, I suggest using the simplest name, Flying Tigers. As for the English name, use the literal name: Flying-Tigers ! "

Spielberg immediately said, "No problem! Just use this name! Flying-Tigers!"

Li Mu smiled cheerfully: "Steven, write the script and detailed plan as soon as possible. We need to make this movie move as soon as possible!"

Spielberg was also very excited and nodded and said, "Please rest assured, I will do it as soon as possible!"

When the Brother Liu on the side heard the Li Mu opening, it let out 100 million USD, and could not help but whispered to remind: "Li Mu, the story is indeed a good story, but you still have to think about it, Director Spielberg The story mainly revolves around the American Flying Tigers and the China Flying Tigers, but the China Flying Tigers were completely GM Party teams. There is no story about our party ’s fight against the Japanese in the story structure of this movie. Some kind of resistance? "

Li Mu shook his head and said seriously: "Brother Liu, you are a bit of a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain."

Brother Liu's eyes widened, his face puzzled.

Li Mu said: "Have you ever seen" Blood War TEZ Zone "? That was one of the most classic war films of China. It was filmed in 1985, but it tells the story of the GM party army fighting against the Japanese army in TEZ zone. This is National history is the historical fact that the China people resisted the RB aggressors. "

Brother Liu instantly blushed and said embarrassingly: "You said that I remembered it. I have watched the" Blood War TEZ Zone "many times, and it was really good ... blame me, blame me ..."
