, both the director and the actor handed in a satisfactory answer to the investor.
"Chinese Captain" can achieve such results, to a large extent, has a lot to do with director Liu Weiqiang! Director Liu Weiqiang of
, his directorial career can be described as brilliant and outstanding.
He first entered the Hong Kong film circle as a "photographer". In 1993 and 1998, he partnered with the director Wang Jiawei, and took the lead in "Chongqing Forest" and "Carmen in Mong Kok". He was also the first to try the "shoulder-mounted" photography technique, reaching the pioneer of handheld photography at the time. With "Carmen in Mong Kok", he won the best photography of the Hong Kong Film Awards, which also influenced the style of director Wong Kar Wai to a certain extent.
The girls in his lens are all unusually beautiful! During the period from 1996 to 2002,
can be said to have shaped a Hong Kong film era. The "Young and Dangerous 123" series that swept the mainland in 1996 has influenced the youth of boys for an entire era. The rules of the arena, brotherhood on the unreachable screen, temptation and mysterious.
In 2002, the "Infernal Affairs 123" series that made countless girls beloved not only brought out Tony Leung's melancholy, but also inspired Edison Chen's immaturity at the time, and also helped Andy Lau to prove his acting skills under the "prosperous and handsome face".
Even in 2006, Director Liu Weiqiang directed the Korean film "Daisy" across the country, and Jun Ji-hyun was nominated for the best actress at the Great Bell Award.
, director Liu Weiqiang with such an excellent resume, was first considered by the president of Bona Film and Television to direct "Captain of China".
Liu Weiqiang said in the interview: "I have been thinking about it for a long time. After all, it is a 70th anniversary gift film, but with the strong support of East, Liu Weiqiang is still in battle!"
He and the whole group of chief creators personally visited Sichuan Airlines , I did a lot of character interviews and conversations with the flight crew of 3U8633 (the prototype flight of "Captain China"). I interviewed many times just for the character interviews. The purpose of
is to allow the actors of the crew to empathize to the greatest extent, to achieve the authenticity of the details and the 1:1 reduction, so as not to make the actors act too pale. During the one-year preparation stage, director
constantly tried to restore the true situation as much as possible. A 30-minute real event, a film stretched to more than 100 minutes, although some artistic processing is required, it cannot destroy the authenticity of the audience watching the movie. This is the director’s principle.
So, he made a 1:1 reduction of the aircraft model, and also used a computer program to control the jitter frequency of the aircraft model to achieve the greatest degree of real effect. Just the adjustment of the aircraft jitter frequency has already let the team try countless times.
In the scene where Ouhao was blown out of the cockpit of the plane, the director found a windpipe that could blow out a level 9 wind and pointed it straight at Ouhao's face. So the shaking on Ohao's face in the movie is his true reaction.
Liu Weiqiang is a director who has created countless classic works. Although he is nearly half a century old, he still sticks to his artistic path. "Chinese Captain", whether it is the cast or the details, it is another work that can soon represent him!
