No one expected that Li Mu, who was sought after by netizens around the world because he wrote three top-notch songs, would actually start a fight with a Japanese chaebol on Weibo Twitter.
However, after understanding the actual situation, they immediately began to support Li Mu and denounced the Japanese chaebol who tried to expel "Flying Tigers" from Japanese theaters.
Those Japanese chaebols who had such great influence in Japan that even stamping their feet could cause a major earthquake suddenly became the targets of global netizens' crusade, and they were immediately miserable!
Moreover, the most uncomfortable thing for them was that they could not attack Li Mu at all.
Sitting in Yanjing, Li Muren moved his finger, which was equivalent to launching a missile, blowing him up to pieces;
And what about yourself? They want to attack Li Mu, but there are no missiles available. Although they have money, they cannot directly turn it into missiles, so they can only worry in Japan.
The theater chain owners suddenly woke up and knew that they must not cooperate with these chaebols, because once they get too close to the chaebols, they may become the target of public criticism in the future.
The Japanese chaebol originally wanted to control the number of screenings of "Flying Tigers" in Japan, thereby controlling the influence of "Flying Tigers" in Japan, but they failed before they succeeded, and even caused a lot of trouble.
Several different chaebol bosses, such as the eldest son of this family, the eldest son of that family, and Taro of his family, met urgently in Tokyo that night. Everyone sat together, carefully analyzed the current situation, and finally made a decision. : Give up.
There is nothing you can do if you don't give in. You can't be beaten or scolded. In addition, who doesn't have a lot of black history behind them, and they can't even cover them up at ordinary times. If Li Mu really pulls him away, what will happen? What a fool.
People all over the world basically have the same attitude towards World War II. The righteous side is willing to understand and forgive the sinful side, but the prerequisite is that the sinful side must fully realize their sins, completely correct their sins, and repent for their sins. .
For example, Germany fought more ferociously than the Japanese in World War II, fighting on both the east and west fronts and also in Africa. However, because of its good attitude of pleading guilty, it was forgiven by the vast majority of the invaded countries and citizens.
However, if you don’t admit your sins, don’t correct your sins, don’t repent for your sins, and even shamelessly try to cover up your sins, then you really are like a dog!
Li Mu just scolded him once without naming him, and netizens began to follow his lead. If Li Mu really exposed everyone's dark history, then who's family would still have a good life
Therefore, giving up is the best way to stop losses quickly.
So, everyone immediately reached a consensus that from now on, there will not be any form of interference in "Flying Tigers". It is just a movie. If it wants to be released, let it be released. If it wants to be popular, let it be popular. Don't mess with him. At least everyone can still Not to be named.
However, these people became depressed, but Li Mu was not ready to forgive them.
I did say that if you are pretending to be cool, I will call you by name, but I didn’t say that if you stop pretending, I won’t call you by name.
So, he asked Zhao Kang, who was in charge of the navy, to arrange for his men to set the pace in the online world around the world.
For a time, there was no one on the Internet who broke the news about the history of Japan's top chaebols, and it suddenly became overwhelming.
Whose family relied on what to make a fortune, whose father was a soldier, whose grandfather fought in the war, whose older generation invaded China, North Korea, and Southeast Asia.
Even the elders of the family who bombed Pearl Harbor were completely exposed.
The most outrageous thing is that there is actually an ancestor of the chaebol who was confirmed to have participated in the eating of a US military pilot during the battle for the island with the US military.
As soon as this incident broke out, American netizens went crazy.
The descendants of cannibal demons, what the hell is this
There is historical evidence that Japanese troops cannibalized people in Southeast Asia and the major Pacific islands during World War II.
In 1944, during a U.S. Air Force bombing mission to Japan, nine American pilots parachuted because of injuries on the plane. Of the nine, eight were captured. All eight captured died, and four of them were eaten by the Japanese army. .
The only one who escaped was George H.W. Bush, the 41st president of the United States.
As soon as this piece of history was exposed, the glassy hearts of Americans couldn't bear it.
Good guy, our president almost had you, the ancestors of the plutocrats, eaten alive by our co-author. If you don’t come out and jump around, no one will bother to talk to you. But then they make a movie, and you still want to suppress it. You Do you still know what a face is
Suddenly, the international reputation of many Japanese chaebols fell to freezing point.
The head of a Japanese chaebol who was revealed to have had an ancestor who ate a US military pilot slapped himself in the mouth more than a dozen times in the office.
I am really poisonous. Why would I find trouble with this when I have nothing to do? This was done once during the filming of "The Last Samurai". Why is it that the memory never lasts
Interestingly, the more people criticize these Japanese chaebols, the higher the box office of "Flying Tigers" will be.
It was so high that theaters went crazy in the end. The attendance rate of this movie was unprecedented, so everyone tried their best to compress the schedule of other movies and give all the schedules to "Flying Tigers" as much as possible.
In its first five days of release, The Flying Tigers grossed $600 million at the box office in the regions where it was released.
On its sixth day of release, The Flying Tigers was released in the second tier of countries and regions, with a single-day box office exceeding US$200 million.
Hollywood is also crazy.
In the early days, everyone felt that war movies were really unprofitable, with high costs, low box office, and no sequels had been released yet.
Look at the current movies, which one doesn’t make a lot of money by making sequels
"007" has been filmed in an unknown number of films;
"The Fast and the Furious" is now on its third installment;
"Mission: Impossible" was originally going to make a third part, but it turned out that Tom Cruise washed away the extreme bushido spirit while filming "The Last Samurai". At the same time, he told the media with a straight face that he liked Japanese culture every day, and now Being made cool by Li Mu;
The third installment of the low-budget sex comedy "American Pie" was also a hit when it was released last year.
Even the animated movie "Toy Story" is preparing a third installment.
Movies like this are truly money-making machines.
In comparison, what is a war movie
You invested so much money today to make "Schindler's List", and the box office was indeed quite high. What next? You can't make a "Schindler's List 2", right
There's no way to get a sequel to "Black Hawk Down"!
After all, most war movies have to respect history and can't make things out of thin air, right? You can't film a protagonist who first experienced Pearl Harbor, then went to attack Midway, and then turned around and went to Normandy again, right
Therefore, more and more people are discovering that war movies are a thankless job, so more and more people are not willing to make them.
However, "The Flying Tigers" really exploded at the box office, with a box office of $800 million in six days of release.
Authoritative sources predict that the final global box office of this movie will definitely be more than 2 billion US dollars, and 3 billion is not impossible.
Anyway, it exceeds the 2.1 billion of "Titanic", which is basically stable.
At the same time, the whole world wants a high-definition audio source of a song.
That song was "Rolling In The Deep."
This song is currently not released by any audio source, and the only channel is the cinema.
Many people liked this song so much that they went to the cinema to watch the movie a second or third time, and even brought recording equipment to try to record the song.
However, a movie theater is a relatively noisy environment after all, and in such a sound field with relatively large echoes, the effect of direct sound collection with equipment is relatively average. However, even this kind of sound source has been downloaded crazily by countless people on the Internet.
According to statistics, the number of downloads of various stolen audio sources has quickly exceeded 10 million, and it is still growing rapidly.
Countless people posted @李木 on Weibo and Twitter, imploring Li Mu to release the sound source of this song. Even if it was a single and an album, they were willing to buy it immediately.
Some music radio stations and music TV stations are even willing to spend millions of dollars in royalties to buy the right to play this song first.
However, Li Mu announced on Weibo Twitter: ""Rolling In The Deep" is not considering releasing a single album for the time being. Because the movie is still in the release stage, its official sound source cannot be released for the time being, let alone selling the copyright. However, Please rest assured that after the movie ends screening in most parts of the world, we will release the audio source on YYtunes and provide free downloads to users around the world."
Li Mu disdains using music to make money, but he needs music to add luster to the movie.
As the box office of movies soars, Du Wei's influence is also growing. She has only three songs in English, and now she has become the most watched female singer in Europe and the United States.
Invitations to perform came from all over the world, but Du Wei refused them all;
Because of her outstanding performance in movies, many big directors sent her film offers, hoping that she would star in their own movies, but Du Wei still refused them all.
She felt that everything in her future would be decided by Li Mu. If Li Mu asked her to perform, she would go. If he didn't let her go or make arrangements for her, then she could study with peace of mind.
On July 17, "The Flying Tigers" was released for 11 days, and its global box office exceeded US$1.6 billion;
On July 20, 14 days after "The Flying Tigers" was released, the global box office exceeded US$2 billion;
This movie broke local box office records in all countries and regions around the world where it was released.
Even in Japan, it broke all-time box office records.
In the days to come, the popularity of the Flying Tigers did not seem to decrease at all.
On July 30, "Flying Tigers" was released for 24 days, and its global box office exceeded US$3 billion, making the world crazy.
The media invented a word called the Flying Tigers effect. Its general meaning is that the better the movie, the more powerful it will be at the box office. Even if people are not interested in this kind of subject, it is still because it is powerful. Due to its social influence and its strong topic popularity, it finally became uncontrollable and entered the cinema.
Once the Flying Tigers effect is formed, not only the original user base will be harvested by the box office, but even users who were not originally within the user range will be accidentally included.
Therefore, the box office of the movie is increasing exponentially!
Of course, the mainland's crackdown on piracy has been very thorough, which has also provided a huge guarantee for the movie's box office!
If someone steals the recording, he will be arrested; if someone tries to steal the copy, it is a serious crime and he will be arrested! Someone successfully pirated a movie and then went back to produce optical discs. As long as one optical disc is leaked on the market, they will immediately be followed, and all sales channels and production ends will be wiped out.
As a result, there is a unified consensus in the piracy industry: If you feel that it will not die quickly enough, make a pirated version of Flying Tigers!
