At this time, most of the students in the Conservatory of Music have been on vacation, but top students like Du Wei, as well as a small number of other students who stayed in Beijing, still have specially arranged extra classes, and at the same time, the school has a number of more important musicals about to be staged in various places, so there are not a few people in the school.

Li Mu's business car drove all the way to the bottom of the practice building of the Conservatory of Music, and after the car stopped for a few minutes, Du Wei, who was dressed up, quickly walked out of the building accompanied by several stylists.

Du Wei's appearance today is indeed impeccable, Rao is Li Mu, a well-informed person who has lived two lifetimes, was also speechless in surprise when he saw Du Wei for the first time.

In the era of plastic surgery and beautification in later generations, Li Mu has seen too many beauties with similar appearances, but none of them can be as perfect as Du Wei, which makes people feel unrealistic.

From the moment Du Wei got into the car, she saw that Li Mu's expression was a little stunned, and her palm-sized face instantly floated with two touches of pink, and she called out crisply: "Brother Li Mu." ”

Li Mu really came back to his senses at this time, smiled slightly in disguise, and said, "Xiaowei, your outfit today is really beautiful." ”

"Really?" Du Wei smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Brother Li Mu." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "When you arrive at the scene, the media reporters and guests present will definitely be amazed by you, I'm afraid that even the movie will be left behind." ”

Du Wei said shyly: "If that's the case, I wouldn't have dressed up so grandly if I knew it......"

The driver had already driven away from the Conservatory at this time, and Li Mu asked Du Wei: "How have the crew been busy lately?"

Du Wei said: "In the past half a month, I have not arranged my role, everyone is focusing on shooting air combat shots, as well as shots of the Flying Tigers base, so Leonardo, Uncle Tom, Sister Anne and Brother Liu Ye are relatively busy, I am much more relaxed, and after a few days, the crew will start filming the plot of me and Leonardo, and Uncle Tom, Sister Anne and Brother Liu Ye will be able to have a holiday to rest." ”

Du Wei's role in "Flying Tigers" is the daughter of a local farmer's family, and in the script, her role is mainly focused on the Flying Tigers pilot played by Leonardo after being injured and parachuting, so the scenes of the two are not related to the aviation school and air battles in the scene, and they can be staggered with other scenes when they are taken apart and filmed separately.

When Li Mu heard her say this, she also understood why she didn't have to shoot on the crew now, and why Anne Hathaway had time to go to the UK next month to attend the so-called Old-Money party.

At this time, Li Mu suddenly thought of something and asked Du Wei: "Have the soundtrack and theme song of the Flying Tigers been decided?"

"Not yet. Du Wei said: "The director mentioned it once before, which seems to mean that the soundtrack has been entrusted to a soundtrack master he has worked with for many years, and the theme song is still being collected, although the Flying Tigers is a war-themed movie, but he prefers to find a song with anti-war as the core idea as the theme song of the movie." ”

"Anti-war ......" Li Mu nodded lightly.

Great directors generally like to convey some values, although they make war movies with bloody battles, but in their bones, they hope that everyone can reflect on war and hope for world peace, which may be the director's humanistic feelings.

Moreover, although this is a film co-produced by Huaxia and the United States, or even completely funded by Huaxia Capital, the goal of this film in the future is to land in Hollywood and the global market, so Li Mu himself knows several key points:

First of all, although the movie "Flying Tigers" takes place in China, between Chinese people and Americans, the narrative angle mainly has to penetrate from the role of Americans, so as to cater to the global market;

Secondly, the main language of this film must also be English, followed by Chinese, not only all American actors play American characters must speak English, even the representative of the Chinese Air Force played by Liu Ye, because he is highly educated, so he must also speak English in the rivalry with these American actors in the Flying Tigers;

In the end, the theme song of this movie must be an English song.

If such a movie, when it is deeply touching at the end, comes to a song "Don't Spoil It" by the Black Panthers, the Chinese audience will definitely feel OK, but the rest of the audience around the world will be confused.

Thinking of this, Li Mu is somewhat regretful, with his love for Du Wei, he really wants to find an opportunity to let Du Wei also contribute his voice in this movie, but now it seems that it is a little troublesome.

The most important thing is not that Du Wei is not suitable for vocalization, but that he really can't think of an English anti-war song for a while, otherwise he will make a song and sing it to Du Wei, and the theme song of the movie will be there.

Li Mu asked Du Wei: "Did Spielberg say which singers or songwriters he would ask for songs?"

Du Wei nodded and said, "Spielberg likes Enya very much, and PinkFloyd, he really wants to ask them for a song." ”

Li Mu said: "Enya's song, it's okay to use it in the Lord of the Rings, isn't it a bit incompatible in war movies? As for PinkFloyd, the classic "ish-You-ere-Here" I hope you are here, it is quite suitable for the theme, but that song is especially suitable for the last scene, that is, when the elderly Anne returns to China and stands in front of the tombstone of Liu Ye's character, as the curtain call of the whole movie, but I think the theme song of the movie should be used at the climax of the plot, that is, the scene where Liu Ye's character fights in the sky and spills blood in the sky at the end. ”

Du Wei said approvingly: "I also think so, the song "May You Be Here" is indeed the most suitable for the end of the whole movie, and it is best to re-compile and re-record it, reduce the prelude, and sing quickly. ”

Li Mu said: "You can communicate with Spielberg about this then, I believe in your musical talent." ”

Du Wei smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll try to mention it to the director." ”

Li Mu repeatedly thought about the appropriate song in his mind, and at this time, Wang Yuanlang, who was driving, said: "Mr. Li, it's seven o'clock 21, we can be at the scene in five minutes, and the car will wait a few minutes outside the venue at that time, Director Ning arranged for us to drive in on time at half past seven, and then the car will stop directly at the end of the red carpet, you get out of the car first, and then help Miss Du get out of the car." ”

"Okay. Li Mu nodded, picked up his mobile phone and glanced at it, the words 19:21 were displayed on the screen.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and a melody immediately appeared in his mind.

Immediately, he clapped his hands excitedly and said to Du Wei: "Xiaowei, go back and tell Spielberg, just say that I suggested that he use PinkFloyd's "ish-you-ere-here" for the ending song, as for the theme song, I will solve it, and it must be an English anti-war song, so he doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Du Wei asked in surprise: "Brother Li Mu, do you want to write it yourself?"

Li Mu nodded lightly: "I'll write it myself." ”

Du Wei hurriedly asked, "Are you so busy now, do you still have time to write songs?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "There is still time to squeeze, besides, there is still some time before the movie is finished, and it will take a while to write a song in the later stage, so long to write a song is enough." ”

Although he said that, Li Mu already had a choice in his heart.

He wanted to take out Green-Day's "21Guns", and asked Du Wei to sing this song.

For a punk band, "21Guns" is indeed a rare song of depth, no longer all powerful chords and various complaints about society, but a heartfelt call to stop the war.

Li Mu likes the melody of the song "21Guns" very much, and also likes the lyrics of the second half of his song, the only thing that makes him feel that it is not very appropriate to "Flying Tigers" is its lyrics:

Do-you-kno-hat's-orth-fighting-for

hen-it's-not-orth-dying-for

Does-it-take-your-breath-aay

And-you-feel-yourself-suffocating

Translated from these two lyrics, the approximate meaning is:

"Do you know what you're fighting for?

When it's not worth your life,

Is it taking away your breath?

Do you feel like you're about to suffocate?"

The subsequent lyrics are translated:

"Are pain and glory equally important?

Are you looking for a place to hide?

Has anyone pierced your chest?

You're only left with wreckage......"

Green-Day's starting point is all-out anti-war, that is, a one-stick negation of all wars.

Speaking of which, this approach is indeed a bit hasty, because many wars are themselves absolutely just wars, and such wars can never be denied.

is like China in World War II that desperately resisted Japanese aggression;

Just like the Soviet Union in World War II, it fought with all its might;

Like Britain, which will never surrender, and the United States, which finally led its troops to land in Normandy;

For these countries, the war itself can be denied, but the significance of their participation in the war must not be denied.

The reason why Green-Day wrote such a song, Li Mu analyzed that this may be related to the fact that Americans rarely fought just wars after World War II, and every war fought by the United States after World War II did not have enough legal support, and some even made it clear that it was aggression, especially the Vietnam War.

Against this social backdrop, it is true that the younger generation in the United States is prone to a blanket negative attitude towards all wars.

But this is obviously inconsistent with the values that Li Mu wants to convey to the world in "Flying Tigers".

Because whether it is the Chinese people or the American Flying Tigers, they fought an absolutely just war in World War II, and for the righteous side, they are worthy of praise!

So, Li Mu conceived in his mind that he must change the lyrics roughly.

Changed to:

"You always knew what you're fighting for.

For the devastated motherland and for world peace.

Even if it takes away your breath,

You've never regretted it.

In your eyes, the motherland is more important than your own life,

When war comes, you never think of finding a place to hide,

You shed your blood for this inch of land,

Even if only the wreckage remains.

21 gun salutes,

I salute you with the highest respect;

21 gun salutes,

You have exchanged your life for the peace of the world!

21 gun salutes,

The world will never forget you.

21 gun salutes,

You will live forever in the salute......"
