Chapter 1149 (1/2)
With a budget of 100 million US dollars to make a war movie, let alone in the history of Chinese film, it has never been seen before and has never been seen before. Even in the world, it is definitely the best war movie.
The film length of the ring trilogy is nearly 10 hours, which costs less than 300 million US dollars in total. When the length of a single film reaches 190 minutes, the budget is less than 100 million US dollars. The 140 minute film length plan of the Flying Tigers that Li Mu is going to invest in has already got a budget of 100 million US dollars. It can be seen how high the production standard is.
And most importantly, most of the scenes of this movie will be filmed in China. The overall price, labor and all costs of China are much lower than those of the United States, so the budget of China has been increased in disguise.
More importantly, Spielberg said to Li Mu, if the screenplay is made to Tom Hanks and Leonardo, they will not refuse the role, and with his relationship with the two people, they will surely give a friendship film reward to the two.
It doesn't count.
Spielberg analysis said that Tom Hanks and Leonardo are very respected by Li Mu, and Li Mu's influence is really powerful now, so powerful that all the stars hate to hold his thighs. This film is invested by Li Mu, and these two people will certainly give Li Mu a face and reduce part of the film pay.
If it goes well, the pay for two people's films can be reduced by $1 to $20 million, and the space is still very large.
Li Mu doesn't care about money, but when the film can be launched. If it is launched, he will immediately put the money into the production team, and then try his best to coordinate various domestic relations, and do his best to support the shooting of the film.
Spielberg promised Li Mu to start three things immediately after returning to the United States:
first, finish the script;
Second, contact Tom Hanks and DiCaprio, let them see the script, and then nod their heads;
Third, negotiate with DreamWorks whether to invest and how much to invest.
As soon as these three things are done, Spielberg will immediately start to set up a team in Hollywood, and then coordinate visas and permits. The first troops will arrive in China as soon as possible, and start to select scenes and make props.
When Spielberg and Anne Hathaway were sent back to the hotel, Li Mu said to brother Liu in his car, ”brother Liu, do you know why I would like to spend 100 million dollars to make this movie after listening to Spielberg?”
Elder martial brother Liu nodded and said, ”you are to let the people of the world know about China and the history of its sufferings.”
Li Mu shook his head: ”it's not the history of suffering, but the history of unyielding struggle! I want people all over the world to know the greatness, firmness and indomitability of the Chinese nation, so this movie will never be a movie that highlights suffering, or individual heroism. YY alone can fight the invincible in the world. Instead, I want to make a movie like ”blood battle platform * er Zhuang”, which can show the backbone of the Chinese nation and save Private Ryan In that way, with a strong commercial element, only the official history can be interpreted in a commercial way, can it be recognized by the whole society! ”
……
Li Mu's brain is still excited when he lies down after taking a bath.
Today, for him, it's definitely a day of great harvest. Letao has fallen down, and the e-commerce industry finally has a clear management method to prohibit cheating and fraud. Before Spielberg leaves, he doesn't forget to give himself a gift. If the Flying Tigers film can really achieve the best expectation he wants, then it must be It can become a milestone in the history of Chinese films, and more importantly, when it is watched and accepted in the global scope, it will also greatly improve the views of other people on Chinese and the Chinese nation.
If the investment of 100 million US dollars is really announced to the public, I'm afraid it will frighten the practitioners of Chinese film and television industry and the world's film and television industry. But it's nothing to Li Mu. In his eyes, not everything is to make money. Some things will even lose money, and he will do without hesitation.
This night, Li Mu had been imagining every scene of ”Flying Tigers” in his mind. He didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
Just when Li Mu just fell asleep, his cell phone suddenly rang, and the sudden ringing and vibration of the cell phone quickly broke the peace in the room.
Li Mu, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by the phone call and immediately wanted to scold his mother. However, at first sight, he found that Spielberg was the one calling.
Why does the old man call himself when he doesn't sleep so late? It's not about movies, is it?
Later, Li Mu answered the phone suspiciously.
On the phone, Spielberg said anxiously, ”I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Li. Something urgent happened. I may need your help...”
