When the creative team of "Flying Tigers" returned to Yanjing, Du Wei's "Set Fire To The Rain" had already created great influence in the global music scene.
Li Mu not only uploaded "21 Guns" and "Set Fire To The Rain" through YYtunes for free to global netizens to download and listen, and broadcast them to global radio and television stations for free, he even uploaded the original accompaniments of these two songs, and at the same time encouraged the world Netizens performed covers.
In order to further promote the influence of these two songs, Li Mu not only promised to authorize anyone in the world to cover them, but also allowed them to be used for commercial performances.
If any singer, or amateur singer, wants to cover these two songs in a commercial performance, just sing without paying.
This almost left record labels around the world bald.
If they have a song that reaches the top of the charts, they must fully follow up on all commercial developments of the song, and at the same time defend their rights on a global scale. If anyone accidentally infringes the rights, they will immediately initiate a lawsuit to protect their rights. Protect your own interests to the maximum extent possible.
However, when Li Mu got a good song, he didn't protect the copyright at all and just gave it out for everyone to use as they pleased. This way of playing it was really too capricious.
The main reason is that he has money, and he doesn't care about the income from the song. In terms of movie promotion and Du Wei's own influence, the income from the song copyright is very small.
The two songs continue to be popular, and Spielberg has also redone the copy and put "Rolling In The Deep" as the new ending song. At the same time, he also officially added "21 Guns" and "21 Guns" to the ending credits. Songwriter information for "Rolling In The Deep".
Since the whole world wants to know who the author of these two songs is, Li Mu is also going to put these two songs under his own name. The advantage of the reborn person is fully reflected in this kind of thing.
The copy has been produced and is just waiting for its official release.
At the same time, the test copy used for the road show in China is still the original version. The killer song "Rolling In The Deep" will not be released until the official release.
The first road show was in Yanjing.
On the day of the road show, Li Mu also appeared at the scene.
He was not sure that he could complete all ten road shows, but he must attend the first road show in Yanjing!
For this road show, Li Mu also prepared a lot of resources. Not only did all online media conduct large-scale publicity and warm-up, he also invited Chen Wan to come over and be the host of this road show.
Chen Wan was a little unsure about Li Mu's invitation. She asked Li Mu on the phone: "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for me, an entertainment host, to host such a serious film road show?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "No, who said that a host can only have one style of hosting? Just be entertaining in entertainment situations and serious in serious situations. This road show is very important in my mind. Sister Wan, you have to come." help me."
When Chen Wan heard this, she immediately agreed and said, "Then I will tell Taili right now and I will definitely go there then."
Li Mu was relieved.
He is actually somewhat selfish.
He has invested a lot of experience and resources into this road show. Whoever will be the host will be able to take advantage of it.
Moreover, the exposure will be very high.
Therefore, Chen Wan became his perfect choice to host the event.
…
The day of the road show.
The largest screening hall in Yanjing was packed with seats, and those invited to the scene were current veterans of the Flying Tigers, domestic and foreign media reporters, big shots in the film and television industry, and friends of Zhao Ziqiu, Chen Wan, Wei Lan, and Li Mu.
This time, countless big names in the film and television industry wanted to come to support, but Li Mu only gave less than thirty seats to the industry. Except for the leaders of higher-level departments, only about ten seats were given to people in the industry.
Among the ten industry insiders who came, there were two directors that Li Mu admired, Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou, and several actors that Li Mu admired, such as Ge You and Chen Daoming.
As for the bosses of famous film and television companies, Li Mu did not invite any of them.
Many film and television company bosses hoped to come and participate in the road show, but Li Muduo refused to agree to any of them.
In fact, he doesn't like the entertainment industry very much, nor does he like to interact with people in the entertainment industry. On the one hand, he feels that the entertainment industry is too chaotic and too utilitarian, and on the other hand, he really looks down on it.
He doesn't have the same hobbies as Boss Ma. He often hangs out with stars in the entertainment industry, or ropes in a lot of big stars to make a movie with him.
All his attention to the entertainment industry is in the positive and positive part of the entertainment industry.
For example, a really good movie, or a really good piece of music, or a really good variety show.
As for the intrigues, intrigues, and flattery in the entertainment industry, he didn't want to be exposed to it at all.
From this test screening, the entertainment industry can also feel Li Mu's attitude. He himself has some disdain for the entertainment industry, so he is only willing to contact high-end players who are really serious about the film and television industry and the music industry. As for the exaggeration in the entertainment industry Vanity Fair, he looked down upon at all.
…
Judging from the scale of this test screening and the strength of its resources, it is absolutely unprecedented in China.
Li Mu alone is already a super boss that the global film and television industry must look up to, not to mention that he is backed by a group of famous Hollywood directors and actors.
The road show starts with a test screening.
Everyone handed over their video recording equipment, and media photographers all waited outside the venue. "Flying Tigers" was first screened inside the venue.
After the video, there was thunderous applause in the theater.
Everyone present was deeply shocked by this movie. When the lights came on, everyone stood up and applauded, and everyone burst into tears.
At this time, Chen Wan walked into the screening room with a microphone.
She herself stood at the exit and watched the movie, feeling particularly moved.
When she came to the big screen, the thunderous applause had not diminished at all.
Chen Wan wanted to speak, but she stopped, turned off the microphone, and applauded together with everyone.
The applause lasted for several minutes before Chen Wan opened the microphone and said to everyone present: "From the warm applause, we can see that the movie "Flying Tigers" really shocked everyone here. It moved everyone sitting here even more.”
"This is a film based on a completely real historical background, integrating the deeds of many Flying Tigers martyrs. I once heard the executive director of this film say that this film almost completely restored The real scene of the Flying Tigers fighting the Japanese army at that time has been affirmed by many Flying Tigers members in China and the United States. Here, on behalf of all the creators of this film, I would like to pay tribute to the martyrs of the Flying Tigers and the anti-Japanese I would like to express my highest respect to all the martyrs who fought for the country during the war."
Applause erupted again.
When the applause ended, Chen Wan added: "The Anti-Japanese War is a scar for our Chinese nation, but it is also this scar that has always spurred us not to forget history, work hard, revitalize the country, and cherish peace."
"Never forget history, not only respect for human civilization, respect for the civilization of the country and the nation, but also respect for these martyrs who fought and sacrificed their lives for the country."
"Today, we are also fortunate to invite ten representatives of the old Flying Tigers players. They are sitting in the middle of our scene today. Please give them the warmest applause!"
Ten gray-haired old men stood up and saluted everyone at the same time.
Others stared at them, applauded and paid tribute to them.
After the old Flying Tigers members sat down, Chen Wancai added: "Today's road show, we are also fortunate to have all the creative staff of the movie "Flying Tigers". Please applaud the director and screenwriter of "Flying Tigers" Mr. Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mr. Liu Ye, and Anne Hathaway and Ms. Du Wei!”
The applause resumed, and Spielberg walked onto the small stage from the side door with a group of leading actors.
This is the first road show in China for many Hollywood big names such as Steven Spielberg.
Tom Hanks, Leonardo, and Liu Ye all wore bomber jackets from the movie, giving the audience the feeling as if they were three historical figures walking out of the big screen.
Chen Wan immediately interviewed Spielberg. The first question was what was the opportunity that prompted him to decide to create such a movie.
Spielberg said: "Before making "Flying Tigers", I had the honor to meet Mr. Li Mu Li. Although Mr. Li is very young, he is a person who respects history, justice and peace very much. He has always hoped that Through movies, the history of the Chinese people's heroic resistance to the enemy in World War II is shown to the world. And I personally have great respect for the history of World War II. As you all know, I have shot many movies related to World War II, including one. It's called Schindler's List, and it describes the tragedy of the Jewish genocide suffered by the Germans during World War II, and I am a Jew."
Speaking of this, Spielberg paused slightly and continued: "So, as a Chinese, I feel more sympathetic to Mr. Li's grief for the sufferings of the Chinese nation. Both the Chinese nation and the Jewish nation have They are a nation that suffered greatly in World War II, and they are also a great nation that triumphed with difficulty and recovered from this ordeal. Therefore, when the two of us chatted about this topic, we immediately felt like old friends at first sight. It felt like it, so we hit it off immediately and prepared to make a movie that truly reflects the experience of the Chinese people during World War II."
"I happened to have heard the story of General Chennault and the Flying Tigers before, so I thought this was an excellent entry point, so I created the script for "Flying Tigers". After reading the script, Mr. Li Mu , he decided to make the film on the spot.”
Everyone gave Spielberg a respectful round of applause.
His words of empathy indeed made many people immediately feel the same about the Jewish experience during World War II.
The two nations, on different continents, suffered from the devastation of two communist countries at the same time. They both made huge sacrifices to achieve victory. Now, both nations have ushered in the rise of their nations.
Spielberg said at this time: "During World War II, the Chinese people who were deeply involved in the war also helped many Jews living in China. This kindness will always be remembered by the Jewish nation. Therefore, I personally hope that I can use this movie to express my gratitude to the Chinese people!"
