With a budget of 100 million US dollars to make a war film, not to mention that it has never been seen before or after in the history of Chinese films, even in the world, it is definitely a leader in war films.

The length of the Lord of the Rings trilogy of nearly ten hours has cost less than 300 million US dollars, and when the duration of a single film reaches 190 minutes, the budget is less than 100 million US dollars, and Li Mu wants to invest in the 140-minute or so length plan of "Flying Tigers", which has already received a budget of 100 million US dollars, which shows how high this production standard is.

And the most important thing is that most of the scenes in this movie will be filmed in Huaxia, and the overall price, manpower, and various costs in Huaxia are much lower than those in the United States, so it is virtually equivalent to raising the budget in disguise.

What's more, Spielberg told Li Mu that if the movie script is given to Tom Hanks and Leonardo, I believe they will not refuse the role in it, and with his relationship with the two, I believe the two will definitely give a friendship salary.

And that's not all.

Spielberg analyzed that Tom Hanks and Leonardo have great respect for Li Mu, and Li Mu's influence is really strong now, so strong that all stars can't wait to hug his thighs, this movie is invested by Li Mu, and these two people will definitely give Li Mu a face, and then reduce some of the salary.

If it goes well, the salary of the two of them can be reduced by one to two million US dollars, and the space is still very large.

Li Mu doesn't care about money, it's just when this movie will be launched, if it starts, he will definitely send the money to the crew immediately, and then make every effort to coordinate various domestic relationships and do his best to support the filming of this movie.

Spielberg promised Li Mu that after returning to the United States, he immediately set about three things:

First, get the script done;

Second, contact Tom Hanks and DiCaprio to get them to see the script and then nod their heads;

Third, negotiate with DreamWorks whether and how much to invest.

As long as these three things are done, Spielberg will immediately start building a group in Hollywood, and then coordinate visas and permits, and the vanguard will rush to China as quickly as possible to start the selection of scenery and the production of props.

Sending Spielberg, Anne Hathaway and their entourage back to the hotel, Li Mu was full of emotion with Senior Brother Liu in the car back, he said: "Senior Brother Liu, do you know why I am willing to spend 100 million US dollars to make this movie after listening to Spielberg's words?"

Senior Brother Liu nodded and said, "You are to let the people of the world know about China and the history of suffering in China. ”

Li Mu shook his head: "It's not a history of suffering, but a history of strong and unyielding resistance!" I want people all over the world to know the greatness, strength and indomitability of the Chinese nation, so this movie will definitely not be made into a movie that highlights suffering, nor will it be made into a movie that highlights personal heroism and YY alone can fight invincible opponents all over the world, but to make a movie like "Bloody Battle Tai * Erzhuang", which can show the backbone of the Chinese nation, and can be like "Saving Private Ryan" In that way, with strong commercial elements, only by interpreting the official history in a commercial way can it be recognized by the whole society!"

……

Li Mu didn't lie down until he took a bath, and his brain was still excited.

Today is definitely a huge day for him, Letao has fallen, and the e-commerce industry finally has a clear management method to explicitly prohibit abduction and fraud, and Spielberg did not forget to give himself a big gift before leaving, if the movie "Flying Tigers" can really meet the best expectations he wants, then this movie will definitely become a milestone in the history of Chinese films, and more importantly, when it is watched around the world, When it is accepted, it will certainly greatly improve the views of the people of other countries on China and the Chinese nation.

The investment of 100 million US dollars, if it is really announced to the public, I am afraid that it will startle the practitioners of the Huaxia film and television industry and the world's film and television industry, but this is really nothing to Li Mu, in his eyes, not everything is to make money, even if some things will lose money, and he will not hesitate to do it.

This night, Li Mu had been fantasizing about every scene of "Flying Tigers" in his mind, and he didn't fall asleep in a daze until the second half of the night.

Just as Li Mugang fell asleep not long ago, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and the sudden ringtone and vibration sound of the mobile phone quickly broke the silence in the room.

Li Mu, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by this phone call, and immediately wanted to scold his mother, but at a glance, he found that it was Spielberg who called.

Why is this old man calling himself so late when he doesn't sleep? It can't be to talk about movies, right?

Subsequently, Li Muhu answered the phone suspiciously.

On the phone, Spielberg said anxiously: "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry to disturb you, something more urgent has happened, and I may need your help......"

"What's going on?" Li Mu couldn't help frowning, what emergency would happen if he slept in the hotel in the middle of the night?

Spielberg said: "Anne called me at night and said that she was sick, and I and a female assistant in the company rushed her to the hospital, but as soon as she was sent to the hospital, the doctor took her temperature, and immediately isolated her, not letting us see her, and not telling us what happened, and now we don't know anything about what Anne is doing, so I would like to ask you to help consult, after all, we have to go to Hong Kong tomorrow morning according to the plan, and the plane will return to the United States tomorrow afternoon." ”

Li Mu subconsciously asked, "What are the symptoms of Annie?"

"Fever. Spielberg said, "It's a terrible burn, about 104 degrees!"

"I'm grass!" Li Mu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, blurting out: "104 degrees?!Are you kidding me?"

Spielberg hurriedly explained: "Sorry sorry, 104 degrees Fahrenheit, I'm used to it. ”

As he spoke, Spielberg thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be 40 degrees Celsius." ”

"Forty degrees?!" Li Mu sat up from the bed all of a sudden, Anne Hathaway suddenly had a fever at this time, which made him feel very bad, but he couldn't say anything bad for a while.

A moment later, a word flashed in Li Mu's mind - SARS.

He didn't know if Anne Hathaway was infected with SARS, but in his memory, it was the end of 2002, and the first case of SARS should have been detected for some time, and now is the time for it to spread in Guangdong Province, and it is too close to the area where the first SARS case was detected......

Li Mu was nervous, but he still calmly scrutinized the details, first of all, he couldn't be sure whether Anne Hathaway had a general fever or because of SARS fever, but the most important thing was that she was isolated by the hospital because of fever, this news released a strong signal: even if the people may not know much about SARS, the hospital should have understood and began to respond cautiously, otherwise it is impossible to isolate a patient with a fever.

Could it be that the SARS I have been waiting for has appeared in the Shenzhen market?

Immediately, Li Mu immediately asked Spielberg: "Steven, which hospital are you in? I'll come over now!"

"That's great!" Spielberg finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We are in the Third People's Hospital, the emergency department, near the hotel. ”

"OK, wait for me!"

Li Mu rolled over and got off the bed, and then immediately began to get dressed, packed himself up as quickly as possible, and before going out, he took a box of 3M masks from home, which he arranged for someone to buy from Hong Kong as soon as he arrived in Shenzhen, which was considered his own preparation for a little prevention.

Li Mu went out in the middle of the night, Wang Yuanlang and the three naturally followed, Li Mu didn't get in the car, they also followed to the underground garage, Li Mu saw that the three people also came out, so he simply said to Wang Yuanlang: "Brother Wang, let's take a car." ”

Wang Yuanlang nodded, and personally got into GL8, Li Mu and the other two also quickly got on the car, and as soon as they sat down in the seat, Li Mu said to Wang Yuanlang: "Brother Wang, go to the third courtyard." ”

Li Mu was anxious to go to the hospital in the middle of the night, which made Wang Yuanlang inevitably surprised, but his professionalism made him not ask any questions, and immediately drove to the Third People's Hospital.

GL8 drove all the way to the entrance of the emergency department of the hospital, as soon as the car stopped, Li Mu took out a few masks, handed one to each of them, and said to the three people around him while putting them on: "Recently, I heard that there seems to be an infectious disease, and it is quite evil, everyone wears a mask just in case." ”

Wang Yuanlang nodded, took the mask and put it on silently, and Zhou Zhan on the co-pilot muttered while unpacking the mask: "Recently, it seems that I have indeed heard rumors of infectious diseases, which has made the locals all the rumors, and the disinfectant water and Banlangen in the pharmacies in Shenzhen and the surrounding areas are sold out, saying that Banlangen can prevent all diseases." ”

Li Mu asked in surprise: "Disinfectant water and banlan root, and this kind of rumor, why haven't I heard of it?"

Wang Yuanlang said: "Mr. Li, you are usually so busy, and you have no contact with the locals, it is normal not to know, I gave an order to Zhou Zhan when we first came to Shenzhen, usually pay attention to the surrounding environment, as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with the local situation and customs, so he pays more attention to this regard." ”

Li Mu felt annoyed for a while, he came to Shenzhen Market to wait for SARS, but he didn't catch up with the best time, it is possible that this kind of rumor has spread around Shenzhen City ten days and a half months ago!

But now is not the time to blame yourself, Anne Hathaway still doesn't know what the situation is, so he immediately said to the three of them: "Or you wait in the car, I'll go and see first." ”

"Then what's the matter!" Wang Yuanlang said without hesitation: "Outside, our only principle is to protect your safety closely, and we must not let you be in any danger!"

Li Mu hesitated for a while, knowing that what he said was useless, so he instructed: "Then hurry up and put on the mask!"
