Chapter 1147 (1/2)
Hearing that Spielberg had already chosen a topic, Li Mu immediately became interested and asked, ”Steven, what part of the history of the Chinese Anti Japanese war did you choose?”
”I think it's very touching that general Chennault led the American pilots to form the Flying Tigers in China, not only that the American Flying Tigers fought against the Japanese Fascists in China, but also that the Chinese Flying Tigers fought bravely against the Japanese army,” Spielberg said The real historical events of the Flying Tigers of the United States and Japan fighting against fascism, as well as part of the film and television art processing of the performance, to create a 140 minute movie. ”
Li Mu, as a Chinese, is very clear about the story of the Flying Tigers. He is also very clear about the history of the flying tigers, not only the story of general Chennault of the United States leading American pilots to volunteer to support the Chinese Anti Japanese War, but also many touching stories about the local flying tigers of China, including many unknown national heroes, but he did not It's amazing that Spielberg, an American, even knew the story of the Flying Tigers in China. It seems that the director's ability to collect and explore clues is really different from ordinary people.
Li Mu exclaimed, ”Steven, I like your selection and main line setting very much. I wonder if I can give you a more detailed introduction?”
Spielberg nodded and said, ”first of all, the story should start from Chennault. In order to facilitate your substitution, you can imagine Tom Hanks as Chennault. If the film is determined, we will not have no chance to cast Tom Hanks.”
Li Mu smiled: ”Tom Hanks's image is really suitable for hardline soldiers, especially those in World War II.”
Spielberg said with a smile: ”the story first tells how Chennault came to China. According to his personal experience, he first retired and then came to China. He was employed as a instructor in an aviation school in Hangzhou. During this period, he trained many famous Ace Pilots among the local pilots in China. According to my understanding, one of them is very famous Liu Zhesheng, the king of the pilots
Li Mu nodded: ”there is such a hero martyr. He should have received Chennault's training in 36 years.”
Spielberg said with a smile, ”then the information I checked should be correct.”
As he said, he continued: ”the story starts from Chennault's coming to China, until he became a instructor of Huaxia aviation school and trained a group of native talents. In this part, we basically follow the history, only male No. 2. In this period of history, the No.2 man appeared. He was a local Flying Tiger player in China. He was Chennault's favorite student and the strongest flying tiger team in China. ”Br >
” then the Lugouqiao Incident broke out, and eight years of Anti Japanese war began in China. Chennault witnessed the crimes committed by Japanese invaders to the Chinese people, including the No.2 man The process of fighting with the Japanese army in the long air, and their huge disadvantages in scale and aircraft performance against the Japanese air force strengthened his determination to help Huaxia, whose air force is extremely weak, fight against the Japanese aggressor. The story is the first big paragraph here. ”
Hearing this, Li Mu couldn't help asking: ”what about the second paragraph?”
Spielberg said with a smile: ”there needs to be a transition between the first and the second paragraphs. This part of the transition is the process of Chennault's return to the United States in 1940 to recruit pilots for the Flying Tigers. In this process, the plot will temporarily leave China, leave the battlefield and jump to the United States, which has not been affected by the war At this time, our man number three is coming out. ”
Li Mu asked tentatively, ”man 1 is Chennault, man 2 is a Chinese native Flying Tiger player, so man 3 should be an American Flying Tiger player, right?”
Spielberg said with a smile, ”that's right! The man number two is extremely decent and patriotic. His national hatred makes him focus on fighting against the Japanese invaders. In this case, the man number three needs to have an opposite with him. So I think the man number three should be a young, unruly American young man who only wants to fly a plane, hunt for strange things and pursue beautiful girls every day. This young man is totally unruly Discipline, every day with a cigarette, danger Lang, but it is a flight club, the most talented, the best pilot
Speaking of this, Spielberg added: ”you can substitute the image of Leonardo in Titanic for the pilot.”
Li Mu laughs and nods. Spielberg deserves to be a big director. In a word, the picture in his mind is much more specific.
Spielberg went on to say: ”the first man is interested in the strength of the third man. He wants to invite him to join his flying tigers and go to China to fight against the Japanese invaders, but the third man is not interested at all. He said foolishly that the war has nothing to do with him. There are only three things in his life: airplanes, cigarettes and women, so he will not accept the invitation of the first man Please. ”
