Chapter 1147 The touching script setting

Hearing that Spielberg had a rough topic, Li Mu immediately became interested and blurted out: "Steven, I wonder which part of the history of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War?"

Spielberg said: "I think General Chennard's deeds of leading American pilots to form the Flying Tigers in China are very touching. Not only are the deeds of American Flying Tigers fighting against Japanese fascism in China, but also the deeds of Chinese local Flying Tigers bravely resisting the Japanese army are also very touching. So my initial idea is that the film revolves around the real historical events of General Chennard, as well as part of the film and television art processing of the Romance of China, to create a movie of about 140 minutes."

Li Mu, as a Chinese son and daughter, is naturally very clear about the history of the Flying Tigers. He is also very clear about the history of the Flying Tigers. Not only is the deeds of General Chennard from the United States leading American pilots to volunteer to support the Chinese War of Resistance, but also many touching deeds about the local Flying Tigers in China, including many unknown national heroes. However, he did not expect that Spielberg, an American, had also learned about the deeds of the local Flying Tigers in China, which really surprised him. It seems that the great director's ability to collect and discover clues is indeed different from that of ordinary people.

Li Mu said in amazement: "Steven, I personally like your material selection and main line settings. I wonder if I can introduce it in more detail?"

Spielberg nodded and said, "First of all, the story should be based on Chennard. To facilitate your substitution, you can imagine Tom Hanks as Chennard. If this movie is confirmed, we are not without the chance to have Tom Hanks starred."

Li Mu smiled slightly: "Tom Hanks' image is indeed very suitable for hard-core soldiers, especially those in World War II."

Spielberg smiled and said, "The story first tells how Chennard came to China. According to his personal experience, he first retired and later went to China. He was hired as an instructor at an aviation school in Hangzhou. During this period, he trained many ace pilots who became famous among the local pilots in China in the future. According to my understanding, there is a very famous ace pilot named Liu Zhesheng."

Li Mu nodded: "There is indeed such a hero and martyr who should have received Chennard's training in 36 years."

Spielberg smiled and said, "Then the information I checked should be correct."

As he said that, he continued: "The story begins with Chennard coming to China to becoming an instructor at China Aviation School and cultivating a group of local Chinese talents. This part is basically completely following history, only the second male lead. The second male lead appears in this history. The second male lead is a local Flying Tigers player in China. He is Chennard's favorite student and the strongest one in the strongest Chinese Flying Tigers;"

"Immediately after the Lugou Bridge Incident broke out, and China began its eight-year war of resistance. At this time, Chennard saw with his own eyes the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders against the Chinese people, and also witnessed the repeated battles between students, including the second male lead, and the huge disadvantages in the scale and aircraft performance of the Japanese Air Force. This strengthened his determination to help China, who had extremely weak air force, fight against the Japanese invaders. The story ended here, is the first big paragraph."

Li Mu was in high spirits when he heard this and couldn't help asking: "Where is the second big paragraph?"

Spielberg smiled and said, "The first and second paragraphs need a transition, connecting the past and the future, starting and turning. This transition plot is the process of Chennard returning to the United States in 1940 to recruit pilots for the Flying Tigers. During this process, the plot will temporarily leave China, leave the battlefield, and jump to the American mainland that has not been affected by the war. At this time, our male third will appear."

Li Mu asked tentatively: "The male lead is Chennard, and the male lead is a local Flying Tigers player in China. Then the male lead is a member of the American Flying Tigers, right?"

Spielberg smiled and said, "That's right! The character of the second male lead is extremely decent, patriotism, national hatred and family hatred made him focus all his attention on fighting the Japanese invaders. In this case, the third male lead needs to have an opposite side with him, so the third male lead I envisioned should be a young, unruly American young man who only thinks about flying planes, hunting curiosity, and pursuing beautiful girls every day. This young man is completely undisciplined and carries a cigarette in his mouth and is careless every day, but he is the most talented and best pilot in a flying club."

Speaking of this, Spielberg added: "You can use the image of Leonardo in Titanic to substitute this pilot."

Li Mu smiled and nodded repeatedly. Spielberg is worthy of being a great director. One sentence made the scene in his mind much more specific.

Spielberg continued: "The male lead is interested in the strength of the male lead, and hopes to invite him to join his Flying Tigers and go to China to fight against the Japanese invaders, but the male lead is not interested at all. He said carelessly that war has nothing to do with him. There are only three things in his life: planes, cigarettes and women, so he will not accept the male lead invitation."

"To achieve this goal, the male lead requires a flight battle with the male lead. If the male lead loses, he is willing to give the male lead a thousand dollars; if the male lead loses, he will come to China with the male lead to participate in the Flying Tigers until the end of World War II."

"The third male lead is extremely conceited and competes with the male lead for money and face, but he fails to win. In the end, he can only accept the loss and follow the male lead to China with nearly 100 other pilots."

After saying this, Spielberg looked at Li Mu and said, "This is the transitional part I said."

Li Mu nodded: "It's very good. The American Flying Tigers went to the battlefield. I was so excited when I heard it. After talking about the first and the transitional paragraphs, should I talk about the second paragraph?"

Spielberg nodded and said, "The second big paragraph is that the third male lead comes to China with the male lead, officially joining the Flying Tigers, and meets the second male lead, and the two become comrades-in-arms. In this way, the second male lead and the third male lead can present a very strong contrast in character design, such as: a Chinese face, an American face; one is extremely decent, and one is unruly; one has no time to care about the love between children, and the other is thinking about pursuing beautiful girls all day long; one is flying a plane to defend the country, and the other is flying a plane to make money by hunting for curiosity, and the opposition of character design is almost everywhere."

"It is precisely these two completely different people who have become comrades-in-arms fighting side by side under Chennard's command. At first, the character conflicts will be very strong. However, with the baptism of the war, the third male invaders finally realized the crimes of the Japanese invaders in the war, and realized that they were not fighting for curiosity and money, but for justice. During this period, the second male in which the third male invaders had been looked down upon, saved the third male in an air battle. Then these two completely different people came to the same end and became the closest comrades-in-arms fighting side by side."

Speaking of this, Spielberg said again: "I am also planning to add two relatively weak female characters here. An American female nurse in the Flying Tigers fell in love with the serious male second, but the third male third fell in love with the Chinese farm girl who hid him and helped him avoid the Japanese army's pursuit. Then, the third male began to pursue this farm girl fiercely, and the American female nurse also began to show her love for the second male second."

"The shy Chinese girl is trying her best to avoid the enthusiastic male third person; the second male second person who takes national hatred and family hatred as everything. She knows the love of the American female nurse, but she is also moved by it, but she takes anti-Japanese as her mission and dares not give any positive response. Until one time, the second male second person fought side by side with the third person. In the fierce battle, the second male second person's plane was injured by the Japanese army. The third male desperately wanted to cover him to parachute, but the second male second person's chest was hit by the machine gun of the Japanese plane at this time."

"On the verge of dying, the second male lead gave up parachuting, said goodbye to the third male lead through the radio station, and asked him to help tell the American female nurse, saying that she also liked her very much, but unfortunately the time they met was too bad. If they were in peacetime, they would definitely marry her. After saying this, the second male lead pulled up the injured plane and rushed towards the formation of the Japanese planes. Before being shot down by the Japanese army, he finally shot down a Japanese fighter plane."

"The sad male third and other comrades repelled the Japanese army, but the second male second aircraft had crashed, and he returned with tears. The female nurse heard the fierce battle on the front line and rushed to the runway to look forward to seeing the second male second aircraft landing, but the last plane landing was the third aircraft. After he landed, he told the female nurse that the second male second had died, and the female nurse cried silently."

"At the end of the story, Chennard's Flying Tigers disbanded, and the third male lead was about to return to the United States. Before leaving, he went to find the farm girl who had saved him but had been hiding from him. He found that the entire village where her family was located had been razed to ruins by the Japanese army. The third male lead thought she was dead and cried sadly in the ruins of her family. Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly appeared in front of him alone;"

"The third male number was very excited and took the initiative to hug her tightly. He said in English that I love you. The farm girl couldn't understand it, but did not push him away. Instead, she shed tears in his arms. He still said in Chinese that her parents were killed by the Japanese, and she was the only one left in the family. The third male number couldn't understand it. He just repeatedly said in broken Chinese: Follow me, follow me. The farm girl understood his words, he hesitated for a moment, and nodded."

"The third male lead hugged her tightly, burst into tears like a child in excitement, and then the plot of the second paragraph ended."

When Li Mu heard this, his eyes were already a little sore. He didn't expect that Spielberg would describe a fictional story based on real history with just words. What he didn't expect was that the young Anne Hathaway's eyes were red when he heard it, and tears could even be seen spinning in his eyes.

No one spoke, looking at Spielberg, he took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then said: "The end of the story is divided into two scenes. The first scene: On the side of the ship returning to the United States, the camera swept the male number one and the faces of many American Flying Tigers. They lay on the side of the ship and looked at the farther and farther coast, which was the land of China that they once fought to defend in blood;"

"Then, the camera stopped for a moment when it swept through the American female nurse. The female nurse cried silently and took out a photo from her pocket. The photo was a photo of the second male lead on the aviation school honor list. After the second male lead was sacrificed, she was taken by her side;"

"Then the camera flies past her, and when the male number three reached the third male number, the male number three was red in their eyes, looking at the land of China, as if they were remembering their comrades-in-arms who fought side by side. Then the camera flew past him, and beside him was the farm girl who had lost her parents. The girl had red eyes and slowly snuggled on his shoulders. Then the camera rose and became farther and farther away..."

"Act 2: In the summer of 1999, an old American man and an old American woman came to China with an old Chinese woman and several mixed-race children. They came to a martyr's cemetery in the suburbs of Chuncheng, southwest;"

"Standing in front of a tombstone, the old American man and the old Chinese woman were closely linked, looking at the photos on the tombstone seriously. The photos on the tombstone are the second male lead back then, and even the photos are exactly the same as the photo taken away by the American female nurse;"

"At this time, the American old lady who was alone beside the two men took out a yellow black and white photo trembling but careful. The photo was the same as the photo on the tombstone. Then two lines of tears fell from the old man's wrinkled eyes. The tears slowly slid down the old man's wrinkled face. The moment it dripped in front of the tombstone, the whole play ended..."
