Text|Xiong Zhonghui

In most film and television works that express heroism, in order to complete a historical task of great significance, the hero often shows the spirit and behavior of heroism, strength and self-sacrifice, dares to overcome difficulties beyond the conventional, dare to An unrelenting struggle against the reactionary or dark social forces or the raging nature. These kinds of films often make the audience's blood boil and worship heroes. When " Ordinary Hero " is presented to us, there are almost no popular shots and visual impact that heroic film and television works usually use, but more of a group of ordinary people making spontaneous choices to save lives. It looks ordinary but full of Warm and moving.

1400km, 8 hours. Road assistance from the countryside to the hospital in Hotan city, flight assistance from and to Urumqi, and treatment from Urumqi airport to the hospital. The film uses three large paragraphs of narrative to closely promote the plot development within the constraints of time and space, interpreting the thrilling The "Rescue Relay Battle". This is a true story, which has always moved the director Chen Guohui . He believes that film creation should reflect the great love of ordinary people, so that the persistence of "race against time to save others" can warm people's hearts. Indeed, unlike the heroism of turning the tide, "Ordinary Heroes" presents the meaning of saving individual lives and the extraordinary actions of ordinary people, showing the true feelings to the audience, conveying good and positive energy, and showing it in a silent place. The greatness that every witness sees in the ordinary. The

film shows the turbulent scenery of Xinjiang, ordinary people, and daily life at the beginning, which is peaceful and quiet. But soon, the tragedy of the broken arm happened. Mom, brother and Mai fell into great grief, helplessness and fear. They instinctively drove straight to the hospital in Hotan City. In the unknown but urgent plots that follow, several characters face one major test after another. On the way to

, ​​my brother has been in self-blame, panic and fear, driving a speeding car, running a red light, going the wrong way, breaking into a pedestrian street to take shortcuts, but his behavior is not irrational and calm. After the mother fell into a coma, when the doctor demanded an immediate decision to "protect his life or protect his arms", the 21-year-old brother quickly made a decision to "protect his arms" from the huge self-blame of "boxing the wall" and the desperation of "grabbing his head with both hands" He decided to take on the responsibility of protecting his younger brother, and agreed with his younger brother Mai to be an adventure that only a man can take part in. In the subsequent rescue, the elder brother actively cooperated and took care of the younger brother with meticulous thoughts. When he got help from others, he did not forget to politely say thank you and bow to the people. When he got off the plane, he asked to see the real face of the flight attendant and salute. Thanks. At the end of the film, the older brother ate the candy his younger brother gave him with a smile, and had a dialogue with Dr. Lin to solve the knot of wanting to go to the big world. So far, my brother has completed his self-transformation. Although Doctor Liu Rui of

is a supporting role, he is an indispensable and complete role from beginning to end. Zhang Yishan said in an interview that his favorite scene was definitely helping Mai perform pneumothorax surgery on the plane. When the flight attendant Zhou Yan reported asking for help from a doctor, Liu Rui, who had been unsuccessful in surgery and decided to give up his career as a doctor, was actually struggling. He tried to unbuckle the safety buckle several times and stepped forward. , The close-up of Liu Rui's hand switches quickly for many times, which truly shows Liu Rui's fierce ideological struggle shrouded in pain, fear, and the call of duty to treat patients. In the end, Liu Rui stood up and calmly performed pneumothorax surgery on the bumpy plane that passed through the airflow layer, showing the professionalism and calm temperament of a qualified doctor. After getting off the plane, Liu Rui sent a voice message to the teacher in the car and said: I finally understand the responsibility of putting on a white coat. It may be out of the doctor's instinct to help the child today. I hope I don't embarrass you; if I go back to the hospital, Will you still want me. The camera shows a close-up of Liu Rui's tearful face. This picture expresses the inner words of many medical workers and the sanctity of their profession, and also expresses Liu Rui's breakthrough and growth in overcoming himself.

Of course, wheat as the protagonist, under the performance of the little actors, also successfully portrayed the strength and bravery of a seven-year-old child in the face of disaster. During the dressing process, I didn't use painkillers and the pain was unbearable. On the plane, I had difficulty breathing because of pneumothorax and . I fell asleep because of exhaustion. Wheat fought the pain with her own will. After getting relief he asked his brother, have I taken the risk? After the arm surgery, Wheat was lying on the hospital bed and touched his right hand with his left hand.Smile for the rest of your life. The rescue on the

plane is the highlight. Various situations that occur in a small space require the crew to deal with it calmly. The purser Zhou Yan calmly dispatched, coordinated passengers, comforted passengers, and took care of wheat, showing superb business literacy. Witnessing the tragic experience of Mai, who is the same age as her son, and experiencing the understanding and cooperation of many passengers, Zhou Yan switched roles in several roles such as mother and flight attendant. Gentleness, sympathy, courage, perseverance... Li Bingbing 's eye performance can be described as expressive. When the flight attendant Yu Li saw the broken arm and could not help but retreat and showed fear, Zhou Yan told her that the flight attendant had to face various situations and must learn to overcome difficulties. Yu Li answered "I can do it" and took over the job. She broke her inner demon and overcome her physical fear. Afterwards, the flight attendant said, I don't want to be so thrilling, I hope every flight will be flat.

What is a hero? The hero is not fearless, the hero is not always forward, the hero often needs to face the huge unknown and fear. A person who understands the horror of fear, can surpass it, conquer it, and finally become its master is a hero. As Beethoven said, among all mankind, those who are strong, upright, brave and kind are heroes! For ordinary people who made a brave choice at that difficult time, they are well-deserved heroes!

Marvel's father Stan Lee believes that when someone helps someone out of the original intention and only thinks that is what he or she should do, then there is no doubt that this is a real superhero . Director Chen Guohui said, "Many people choose to stand up not only because of their profession, but also because of their kindness and courage. I want to make a movie with ordinary people as the protagonists. At the same time, we must also show the beauty and great love of the real Xinjiang."

"Ordinary Heroes" connects a group of seemingly unrelated ordinary people through the relay rescue. In the works, there are so many ordinary people without names, as well as flight crews wearing masks because of the epidemic. When they saw what happened to Wheat, they consciously and spontaneously responded quickly and offered help. Brother

, ​​in order to get to Hotan Hospital as quickly as possible, drove the car into the pedestrian street. On the bustling pedestrian street, there were stalls and people singing and dancing, blocking the car from moving forward. The impatient brother honked his horn desperately to urge, annoyed an uncle who was pushing the cart. The uncle stepped forward and patted the car glass to scold the theory, but when he saw the situation in the car, he immediately took out the small horn and directed the street to give way. At this time, a long shot of a long-term view is given. In the picture, the crowded pedestrian street seems to be manipulated by a magic power. The people singing and dancing quickly spread out, and the people who set up the stalls quickly moved the items to the sides. After one minute, a road was cleared. The uncle stood in the middle of the road and waved his hand to instruct the car to start. Passers-by gave their blessings to the departing car. During the whole process, no one complained, and no one scolded, just so naturally completed a difficult on-site order rectification.

wheat was escorted to Hotan Airport , the flight has left the runway. The anxious brother wanted to rush in, but was stopped by the airport staff. But after seeing the situation on the stretcher, the staff quickly ran to the airport duty manager to report the situation. The manager immediately contacted the operation command center without any hesitation and asked the flight to return. When running and pushing the stretcher to the waiting hall, the manager said that the elevator was too small and he had to carry it up the stairs. At this time, he gave Lin Yongjian a close-up through the stretcher: he was struggling to raise his arms at the end of the stretcher. . The response of the airport staff is as natural and instinctive as a conditioned reflex. The

flight is full, and three people need to be coordinated to exit the plane. The flight attendant Zhou Yan coordinated with the passengers. Even though the choir aunt was worried that she would not be able to make it to tomorrow's performance, she still made the decision to withdraw from the flight. In the end, a family of three left the flight. In the corridor, the "rebellious" son who kept playing games and wore a trendy mohawk haircut told his father, "Take off his military uniform and stay true to his true colors" and shouted cheer.

It was late at night and people on the flight were taking naps. At this time, the purser found that Mai was asleep, and in order to wake him up, he immediately turned on the cartoon. The awakened passengers complained a little. The choir played " Our motherland is a garden " in Uyghur. The passengers consciously participated in the chorus and finally woke up Mai.

has many doctors as the protagonist. He is almost at home in the hospital. He sleeps in his office with clothes on at night. He only slept for ten minutes after snoring for the first time, and only slept for five minutes after the operation.This kind of behavior that transcends the resting rules of ordinary people is the daily routine of doctors. When other doctors reminded Lin Li that the child's life would be in danger in two minutes and the operation should be terminated, Lin Li said calmly and solemnly, "The doctor's two minutes, his life. Let me try again." When Lin Li and his brother were talking in the hospital garden, they said that we are all ordinary people, ordinary people do ordinary things, no matter where they are, where their hearts are, and having beliefs and values ​​in their hearts is the most important thing.

An audience member was so excited after watching the movie "Ordinary Heroes": "Ordinary people with kindness and love are ordinary heroes in armor."

When others encounter difficulties, you resolutely lend a helping hand. hand. When you put some other people's interests ahead of your own, you've become a hero in a sense.

"I hope that in the face of a crisis, every good-hearted person can use goodwill to resolve the crisis and break the rules to solve difficulties. This is the love of the people first and life first in "Ordinary Heroes". Producer Chairman of Bona said so in winter . Compared with the protagonist and ordinary people,

also has a group of people in the work. They do not appear as individuals, but represent many industry sectors, involving traffic police , hospitals, airports, airlines, and the military. These departments are in this rescue. In the relay race, in fact, the contribution is indispensable. The traffic policewoman played by

, played by Nazha , immediately rode a motorcycle to intercept the car when she found that the car was driving illegally. As soon as she found the situation in the car, she immediately reported the situation to the traffic police command department. The command department immediately coordinated and dispatched a green channel, which was escorted by female police officers. At the same time, the hospital sent 120 ambulances to connect seamlessly, saving precious minutes for saving lives.

was at the airport. After receiving the situation, the operation command center of Hotan Airport immediately contacted the crew to negotiate and asked him to return from the runway. The crew immediately contacted the airline to obtain approval for the delayed take-off. Hotan Airport quickly contacted Urumqi Airport and negotiated a delay in closing the airport. Urumqi Airport replied, "How can we not wait for one life?" "No matter how late it is, we will wait." Before and after Mai boarded the plane, Hotan Hospital contacted Urumqi Hospital, and the medical staff quickly began to prepare for the operation. In order to save time, the captain of the flight China Southern Airlines applied for a direct flight to Urumqi. The airport immediately sent a situation coordination notice to the Air Force units that were conducting the air exercise. After receiving the situation report, the air force commander quickly adjusted the exercise route and lifted air control. order, saving the flight 17 minutes. Urumqi Airport coordinated the parking space closest to the terminal in advance, and immediately after the plane docked, it seamlessly connected with the coordinated 120. It can be said that without the decisive command and efficient operation of these industry departments, it is impossible to complete this life relay race only by relying on ordinary people.

likes what Tang Wei, the airport manager played by Lin Yongjian, said in the film: Life comes first, and all the rules established can be broken in front of life. If we encounter such a thing in the future, we will still to do so.

Yes, the reason why the rescue can be done and done so successfully is because our motherland is a garden, and each of us ordinary people are flowers in this garden, all are respected and loved, and can be Bathing in the sunshine and rain of the motherland.

should say that the story line of "Ordinary Heroes" is not complicated, it does not have the shocking plot of heroic blockbusters, and it lacks visual stimulation. However, the rescue road is full of challenges and thrills, and there are too many touching details to show. In terms of expression, the film also broke the conventional narrative method, instead of adopting a lengthy documentary narration method, and not producing many grand scenes, but using six to eight machines, multi-camera shooting, multi-camera change and switching, to reduce tension The rescue scene and character dialogue are presented. The

audience also unknowingly followed the plot and clenched their fists, completing the story experience of thousands of miles of rescue. From an angle that does not need to be looked up, ordinary audiences have a dialogue with ordinary heroes about human nature, true feelings, and great love. The experience and thinking born from this have far exceeded the production of film and television works themselves.
