Chapter 1288: Life is a practice that you can't help yourself
When Makino Technology sent out an invitation to all the media and announced the time of the press conference to the whole society, the people of the whole country were waiting for the announcement of the cast of "Flying Tigers".
It would be better if Li Mu could come out and give a positive reply to the CSC club and the remarks of netizens in recent days.
Li Mu has been accompanying more than 50 Chinese and American Flying Tigers in Spring City in the past few days, and in the past few days after the old people got together, the staff of the Veterans Immortal Foundation arranged very complete and thoughtful activities for them, including a group dinner once a day, a free exchange salon, and a revisit to the old place.
Not only these American Flying Tigers have not come back for many years, but many Chinese Flying Tigers are the same, after the victory of the war, few people have come to Spring City, so this time so many old comrades-in-arms have re-set foot on the land of Spring City, which is of great significance to them, almost all the old people are sighing, when the Anti-Japanese War was just won, they always said that they must often return to Spring City in the future, but almost the vast majority of people have broken the promise they made at the beginning, if it is not for the organization of the Veterans Immortal Charity Foundation, I am afraid that they will leave this world with this unfulfilled promise, nowSixty years later, they finally fulfilled their promise and returned to Spring City, but this should also be the last time they will return to this land in their lives.
Before graduating from college in his last life, his classmates drank together, hugged their heads and cried, and swore that they would go back to their alma mater together every year to see and get together, but when they left school and entered the society, they immediately entered a kind of: no one restricts you, but you just can't help yourself. Busy with love, sometimes I can't even go home a few times a year, so I still have the time and energy to go to my alma mater hundreds of kilometers away to have a look, and my alma mater has long been a different person, and I can't find anyone familiar when I go back.
Li Mu is still close to Jinling, and even more so are those students from other provinces, almost no one made a special trip to Jinling to return to their alma mater, and Li Mu's old classmates never got together again after they came out of school until Li Mu was reborn.
Even themselves, who were born in an era of peace and live in a modern society, have been unable to fulfill their promises for various reasons, not to mention these old people who have left here in 45 years, scattered throughout the country and even gone to the other side of the ocean? What they have experienced is innumerable turmoil in the overall situation and changes in the world; before the 90s, when an American wanted to come to China, all kinds of documents and requirements were cumbersome, enough to drive people crazy, and a simple individual was really too small in such a world environment.
Life is originally a practice that you can't help yourself.
Li Mu has been reborn, and he has no chance to fulfill the promise he made with his college classmates in his previous life, but what makes him extremely happy is that he helped these more than 50 veterans fulfill the promise that has been buried in his heart for 60 years.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in the largest banquet hall of the hotel, all the members of the Chinese and American Flying Tigers and their relatives spent a significant Lantern Festival here.
On the sixteenth day of the first month, all the important Chinese actors of "Flying Tigers" arrived in Spring City one after another, including Du Wei, Liu Ye, Huang Bo, and Tang Wei, the four signed artists of Muye Imaging, as well as Li Xuejian, Chen Zhiming, and Chen Baoguo, the three male actors with the best acting skills in China in Li Mu's eyes, in addition to these seven, there is also Su Yingxue's cousin Wang Xinran.
The roles of these actors Li Mu have long been arranged, and Du Wei is with Anne Β· Hathaway's first heroine, Liu Ye is the first male protagonist on par with Leonardo, Huang Bo plays an ordinary villager, his character himself has a love for Du Wei's character, the two have a small amount of rivalry, when Leonardo's character crashed, Huang Bo was mobilized by the militia to rescue, and then Leonardo hid in Du Wei's house, Huang Bo and Leonardo also had a small amount of interaction, he saw from the beginning that the village girl played by Du Wei had some feelings for the American pilot played by Leonardo, so that Huang Bo was particularly entangled and struggling in his heart, and he didn't have a good face for Leonardo, but every time the Japanese searched, but he will still desperately help Du Wei's family hide Leonardo, until Leonardo is sent away safely, and he and Du Wei's relatives died in the Japanese sweep.
Tang Wei plays the role of a female nurse in the Flying Tigers, this role has no tragic color, she herself is set as a progressive young man from a big city, in order to contribute to the anti-Japanese resistance, so she unconditionally joined the Flying Tigers' Air Force Hospital, working with Anne Hathaway, Anne After Hathaway fell in love with the pilot role played by Liu Ye, the little nurse played by Tang Wei played some role between the two, but in the end, with Liu Ye's sacrifice, her role basically completed her mission in the play.
Teacher Chen Zhiming plays the role of Principal Jiang in this movie, that is, the chairman of the committee, and there are not many scenes, but they are very important;
Mr. Li Xuejian plays the supreme commander of the Flying Tigers in China in this movie, and Chennault played by Tom Hanks is a rival role, he has a relatively large number of scenes, and in Li Mu's eyes, he is the only one who can play against Tom Hanks;
Teacher Chen Baoguo is relatively young, so in this movie, he plays a Chinese officer of the Flying Tigers, who is Liu Ye's superior and Li Xuejian's subordinate. The combination of Hanks's three rival plays occupies almost the vast majority of the scenes in the whole play, so in this process, Mr. Chen Baoguo is needed to be an overall catalyst;
As for Wang Xinran, Li Mu chose her this time completely out of care, but fortunately, Wang Xinran's acting skills are relatively OK as a whole, so Li Mu arranged for her to play a progressive female student who came to Spring City from Shanghai to promote the Anti-Japanese War in the play.
There is also a relatively important role, that is, Li Mu agreed to the condition of a certain leader of the political and legal department in Shanghai for the sake of Weilan's father Wei Jun, and arranged a role for his nephew to play the role of a Flying Tiger, but Li Mu did not invite him to attend the press conference.
The press conference is scheduled to be held at seven o'clock in the evening of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the reason why the main actors are notified so early to come over, Li Mu has two purposes, one is to let them come over, and get familiar with these old Flying Tiger players, since it is to play their story, then it is necessary to pay tribute to them in advance; and then tailor the lens language for them.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Mu did not go to the airport to pick up the airport, but handed over all the pick-up work to the staff, and he waited with Spielberg in the hotel, so that as long as the actors came, they could meet and chat with Spielberg first.
At half past ten in the morning, Mr. Li Xuejian was the first to arrive at Chuncheng Airport, knowing that he was going to meet Spielberg today, Mr. Li Xuejian deliberately booked the earliest flight, and flew directly from Yanjing with an assistant.
After Ning Hao received Mr. Li Xuejian at the airport, he handed Mr. Li Xuejian over to the staff of Makino Image, and then the staff immediately drove a business car to pick up Mr. Li Xuejian from the airport to the hotel.
When Mr. Li Xuejian arrived, Li Mu was working with Spielberg to communicate with the post-production team of the documentary about the editing of the promotional film.
In order to ensure that the best promotional video can be produced at this press conference, the documentary team temporarily set up a post-editing studio in a luxury business suite in the hotel.
Due to the pursuit of absolute documentary and shocking, the final promotional film was interspersed with a lot of historical real video materials, at the same time, Li Mu also insisted on choosing his favorite pure music to be used as the background music of this promotional film, this background music was originally the soundtrack of a documentary, Li Mu through Spielberg's help, in a very short period of time to obtain the copyright company faxed over the authorization letter, and the real image materials used in the video, also communicated with the descendants of the photographer, without exception, all obtained the authorization of the copyright ownerγ
Fortunately, everyone, including Spielberg, was full of praise for Li Muxuan's pure music, and everyone did not cause any disagreement on this point.
A staff member knocked on the door, came in and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li Xuejian has arrived." β
"Oops!" Li Mu said in surprise: "Teacher Li is so early, why don't you invite Teacher Li here first, and let him see some of the materials we have shot these days in advance." β
The staff nodded and said, "Then I'll go and ask Mr. Li to come over." β
After the staff left, Li Mu said to Spielberg: "Steven, the actor who played the opposite role with Tom Hanks is here, his name is Li Xuejian, he is a Chinese actor I like very much, he has played many classic roles, with a variety of styles, Mr. Li's performance in historical dramas and modern dramas is very good, and he is both virtuous and artistic, I believe you will be full of praise for him after you have seen him!"
