Can't shoot the main theme well? Let the Hong Kong director teach you

The title of "Chinese Captain" is a bit big, because in 2016 there was a movie that also described the miracle of an air disaster called "Captain Sally". It is called "Captain Sally" because the captain's name is Sally. By analogy, you will feel that the name of "Chinese Captain" is a bit big, but fortunately, when you finish watching this film, you will naturally have some knowledge of your own in your heart, and then look back at the title, in fact, " The name "Chinese Captain" is good, at least the whole story is based on this setting.

Liu Weiqiang defeated his character in the 2017 "The Founding of the Army". Before that, whether it was filming the "Young and Dangerous" series or filming "Infernal Affairs", everyone still trusted his director's work. , But the 2017 "The Founding of the Army" is a bit funny. It may be due to lack of understanding of the mainland market. For a serious work, Liu Weiqiang used Xiaoxianrou + IP. This shooting routine that reached its peak in 2013 and has gradually declined since then, obviously audiences will not buy it. This also led to the failure of "The Founding of the Army", both in box office and word of mouth.

But Liu Weiqiang is still a good director. This is what I confirmed after watching "Captain of China". Also confirmed are Lin Chaoxian and other Hong Kong directors. In fact, as long as they grasp the direction, good works can come out later. At first, I didn't make great achievements in Hong Kong, but after I came to the mainland to develop, many excellent works would be born. This may give many Hong Kong directors a little bit of inspiration. It should be good to come to the mainland to develop and find their own rhythm again.

Let’s talk about this film, "Captain China", as one of the three domestic films that can be played on National Day, is essentially very good. I don't know why, in the past few years, movies based on real events have begun to occupy our main story line. Actions at the national level, as small as the daily lives of ordinary people, these films adapted from real events can win applause from the audience. Does this also indicate that domestic films have begun to explore a correct path? If there is no good story, then we can find inspiration from the news.

"Chinese Captain" is adapted from a miracle flight of Sichuan Airlines in 2018. Why is it called "the miracle against the sky". Imagine that at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, the windshield of the aircraft broke, and then the captain relied on his experience and courage to drive the aircraft back safely. What kind of pioneering work was this? You can compare it with Lenovo. On the highway, when your speed reaches 120km/h, you can try to open the window and feel it. What can you do at that wind speed? And you are opening a side window, and the front windshield of the airplane in this film is completely broken. At this time, the aircraft is at an altitude of 8,000 meters and the speed is almost 800km/h. Perhaps the test at this time is not safe operation.

However, in this environment, the captain made the plane land safely, which is indeed a miracle. The captain is indeed an epic hero. With reference to the previous "Heroes of Fire", overall, this film is slightly better than the previous one in terms of rhythm and handling of character relationships. In terms of actor setting, Zhang Hanyu, a righteous captain, can basically represent the core of the film. He works hard, has a firm faith, keeps his mission in mind, and has superb driving skills. Such a positive and almost perfect character can basically represent the title of "Chinese Captain". And he was once a bomber pilot, so it was more convincing. The other actors selected by

also completed the interpretation task brilliantly. In addition to the significance of the disaster film itself, this film is also a good airplane instructional film. From beginning to end, the captain and flight attendants are sending a message, that is, professional people must have professional quality, and professional people will do professional things. And this concept is also the core part of the film. Facing the difficulties of passengers, what should flight attendants do? What should the captain do in the face of sudden dangerous situations? In the face of these emergencies, the crew in this film gave the audience a benchmark, which may be a reference point when we emphasize on-board service in the future.

is the unknown security personnel in this film. Why is it called the Chinese captain? Because all the security personnel in this film are using their full strengthTo ensure the safety of this flight. As we all know, the characteristic of our country is to concentrate our efforts on major things, and whenever we encounter a crisis situation, the first thing we think of is that one side is in trouble and all sides support it. This concept is also a quality that people pay most attention to at every difficult stage. Wenchuan Earthquake, National Olympics, etc., either happy or sad, everyone will be together at every historic moment. And all these people came together with a common name, that is China.

Of course, there are still shortcomings in this film, such as deliberately lyrical, for example, a little bit downplaying the process from the occurrence to the end of the disaster, etc., but the flaws are not concealed. As a main theme movie, such shooting results are obviously very good, at least one Good starting point. It would be fine if many of the main melody movies were filmed in this way. But if you don't want to find the shortcomings, it's better to talk about this obvious black spot. After all, Zhang Hanyu's face is indeed black enough.
