This summer, the heat melts.
But on the screen of the movie theater, it is hotter.
In particular, the director of the factory watched one of the most recently released new films-------
Heroes of Fire
Looking at the poster, you know that this is a movie about the theme of fire fighting.
There are actually many classic movies about this kind of subject, such as "Courage to Go Forward" in the United States, "Skyscraper" in South Korea, and "Waiting for the Day to Put Out fires" in Japan.
Hong Kong's "Firefighting Hero", "100,000 Fire Emergencies", and "Escape from Heaven" are all stories about the "most beautiful retrograde".
But it is such a touching theme that is rare on the big screen in our mainland, until the emergence of "Heroes of Fire".
Only then has it filled the gap in the block of mainland film and television dramas.
Yes, this is the first fire disaster blockbuster in my country to focus on firefighting.
"Heroes of Fire" has its own "fire" attribute from the beginning, and as soon as it was released, it detonated the box office, breaking 300 million in 2 days!
One of the biggest attractions is nothing more than the shocking scene, the plot is compact and tear-jerking.
However, the most touching thing is the word truth.
The film is based on Borji Wilderness's documentary fire-based long-form reportage, The Deepest Water is Tears.
The story is based on the explosion and fire of the 7.16 Xingang oil depot in Dalian, China, known as "a miracle in the history of fire protection in the world".
The accident occurred in 2010, when an oil pipeline exploded, igniting 100,000 cubic meters of oil tanks, and the flames were instantaneous.
The fire, the raging fire, almost throughout the film.
In the movie, the firefighters are threatened by a flowing fire that burns everywhere.
Also, from time to time, there will be explosions again and again.
After watching the movie, many people questioned the unreality of the film.
Some people say that the explosion of the oil tank is equivalent to "20 atomic bombs" is too exaggerated.
Oh, the director just wants to say, you are right, the movie is indeed unreal, it is too glorified, idealized.
The director is really "fake" and deliberately reduces the entire scale of the fire.
Off camera, in that real hellish fire, the TNT equivalent of the entire port is probably more than 2 million tons.
You know, the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan in World War II, one with an equivalent of about 15,000 tons of TNT and the other about 20,000 tons.
In other words, the explosives in the real event are equivalent to 100-133 such atomic bombs.
Not to mention the threat to the lives and safety of the entire people of Dalian, if it really explodes, even the neighboring countries of Japan, South Korea, and North Korea are facing danger........
The director is not joking with you, it is true, the explosion in the movie is the 101 tank, the real explosion of the 103 tank.
The explosion site was at the free trade zone oil depot of Dalian PetroChina International Storage and Transportation Co., Ltd., which has a total reserve of 1.85 million cubic meters.
It has a total of 3 crude oil tanks of 50,000 cubic meters and 17 crude oil tanks of 100,000 cubic meters, and tank 103 is among them.
On the north side of this oil depot is the tank farm of the State Oil Storage Company, with 30 tanks of 100,000 cubic meters of crude oil.
On the east side is the Dalian Port Tank Farm, with 12 tanks of 100,000 cubic meters of crude oil.
And, as mentioned in Heroes of Fire, the tanks are right next to the point of ignition, and most importantly, there are liquid chemical tanks not far away, which contain flammable, explosive, highly toxic and extremely corrosive dangerous goods such as xylene.
If these chemicals explode, the consequences are unimaginable.
In order to relieve this danger, firefighters must close the valves between tanks and tanks to prevent more crude oil from leaking.
Due to the fire power outage, the valve controlled by the electronic device must be manually closed.
In the movie, it is Jiang Liwei (Huang Xiaoming) and his companions who are responsible for manually closing the valve, and the person in charge tells him that he can close it as long as he turns for ten minutes, but they have not reacted after more than forty minutes.
The nervous-looking person in charge told the truth:
Every 80 turns of the screw can be turned to advance 1 buckle, while 1 valve has 100 buckles, and a total of 8000 revolutions are required to close a valve.
Don't hide from everyone, when the factory director saw this part, he was eager to rush into the big screen to slap the person in charge a few times.
In the race against the clock about life, he actually deceived the firefighters again and again.
The director once thought that this was the director's deliberate use of exaggerated methods to shoot this plot in order to mobilize everyone's emotions.
However, the reality is really terrible, in reality the valve that closes an oil tank is not 8000 rpm at all, but 80000 rpm!
In the movie, in order to weaken the difficulties of firefighters, the real 80,000 turns were changed to 8,000 revolutions.
4 valves, the real firefighters actually screwed 320,000 rpm!
Seeing this number, the tears of the factory director really burst out...
The only thing to be thankful for is that the three firefighter fighters involved in the actual "7.16 rescue" involved in closing the valve were not killed or injured.
In the movie, Jiang Liwei, played by Huang Xiaoming, died after closing the valve, which we can understand the need for self-redemption for his role.
Yes, it earned enough tears.
But what the director wants to say is that when watching this film, the first scene that makes the director cry is actually the scene of Xu Xiaobin' sacrifice played by Ou Hao.
To tell the truth, he didn't play a big role, but he was the most miserable person who made me cry.
In fact, Ou Hao's role is prototype, he is Zhang Liang, the leader of the remote water supply formation of the Dalian Detachment Combat Support Brigade.
In fact, the real cause of his death was not that he was entangled in the net and drowned while dealing with the fishing net on the pontoon pump.
Instead, due to the leakage of crude oil, the proportion of crude oil, and the sea water stirred together into a quagmire, the wave head split over, people want to drill can not drill out...
He was the only firefighter to die in the firefighting operation, when he was only 25 years old.
This was the last moment of Zhang Liang's life, 334 seconds, 68 photos.
You know, in a few days, Zhang Liang originally planned to take wedding photos.
But he never came back.
The film is benevolent, and it also records his beautiful appearance in a military uniform and her wedding dress.
The reality is harsh, the only photo of the two people is the one on the marriage certificate.
The profession with the highest sacrifice rate in this peacetime era is actually a firefighter.
Remember this year's Liangshan forest fire in Sichuan Province, which killed 31 firefighters, including 27 forest firefighters, whose average age was 23 years old?
There are 2 after 00 and 24 after 90.
Wang Fojun, the youngest of all the firefighters who died, sent a picture a few days ago on a mission with a mountain fire in the forest in the background, and he said: "Come, gamble your life." ”
I knew it was a gamble, or I went.
Whose son, whose lover, whose father are these lovely and respectable firefighters?
Aren't they afraid? Of course I'm afraid.
Firefighters are not gods, they are living people, and they are afraid of dying in this terrible fire.
But they chose this profession, so they shouldered a sense of responsibility and mission.
In Heroes of Fire, there is such a side line.
When they heard the news that the oil tank fire could explode and spread throughout the city, the whole city was in a panic.
Those who rushed to the subway, those who took planes, those who took ships, everyone fled desperately.
Crowded, panicked, frightened.
However, only the firefighters rushed into the fire.
Watching the fire continue to spread, Ma Weiguo, played by Du Jiang, led the special service squadron to stand in front of the chemical tank farm.
The situation at the fire site is changing rapidly, and the source of foam water is about to be exhausted.
Ma Weiguo used a fire truck to open a road, and together with the special service squadron, blocked the flowing fire with rubble.
However, they are also trapped in the desperate situation of the fire.
Ma Weiguo took out his mobile phone and asked the team members to leave a paragraph for their families.
Even if you die here, let your family know what they are doing here.
When fighting the fire, the young men who were extremely brave and full of momentum all choked up and shed tears when facing the camera.
In this fire field full of despair, the concern and thoughts of family are so pure, real and moving.
This scene in the movie is by no means fictional.
At the scene of the 7.16 fire nine years ago, a reporter from Dalian TELEVISION wanted to take a real picture of the first line of the fire, but inadvertently saw a fire fighter calling his wife with tears.
You treat my mother well and be kind to the child.
The reinforcement team that came from more than 150 kilometers away, as soon as they saw the fire in front of them, the whole car no longer said a word.
There were 9 people in the car, 8 of whom had just been in the army for half a year and had never seen any new recruits in the fire.
The captain told the cameraman in the car to turn on the lights and let everyone leave a word, they were ready for the worst.
7.16 Dalian Xingang fire scene
At home, they may be fathers who stand tall in the sky, or they may be children who have just left their parents, and perhaps like Xu Xiaobin in the film, newly married Yan'er.
But in that military uniform, they had no hesitation, facing the monstrous fire demon with their flesh and blood, never flinching and living to death.
Shuttle through the sword mountain and the sea of fire, interlaced in the purgatory of the human world.
Even if there is a fierce fire ahead, you must be a retrograde who fearlessly moves forward.
In 2015, a dangerous goods warehouse explosion occurred in Tianjin's Binhai New Area, and one of the firefighters who died wrote down his understanding of the profession in his notes.
Firefighters are lions who can go out at any time for the sake of people's lives and happy lives.
They run with weights in the rain, practicing day and night;
They load water belts, air breathing apparatus and other equipment, with a total weight of more than 50 pounds;
They only need about a minute to climb from the 1st floor to the 10th floor, and only about 30 meters to run 200 meters;
They are on standby 24 hours, 365 days, all on standby, waiting in strict formation...
On the day of the release of "Heroes of Fire" on August 1, the movie has not yet opened, and a group of people have successively left.
It turned out that this group of viewers were the firefighters who organized to watch the movie.
Before I could watch, I received an alert from the command center, and the 11 people who got up and left were all firefighters on duty.
Their fire truck, on the other hand, was parked in front of the theater, and there were combat suits on the car.
As soon as there is an alarm, they are immediately rescued, and they are really ready at all times.
In the eyes of most people, firefighters are more omnipotent.
In addition to fires, floods, earthquakes.
They are also responsible for finding lost children, hanging in the air to rescue survivors, unlocking and cutting rings, specializing in treating various card holders, removing horse honeycombs, and even helping 110 pry open handcuffs...
Whether it is a fire disaster or a trivial matter in life, firefighters will definitely achieve their mission.
But there are some trifles that really do not belong to their work, but are obligatory to do things for the people.
They are not omnipotent, but do their best.
Even so, sometimes it can be exchanged for misunderstandings and insults.
In the movie, Jiang Liwei is assigned to the suburban fire brigade for dereliction of duty, and his daily routine is to catch pigs for local residents.
Tired and sweaty, embarrassed, and scolded by the residents, even a pig could not be caught.
The words of the manager at the scene of the fire in the tank farm also made everyone angry.
He was afraid that once the cruel truth of the fire was told, no firefighter would dare to go in and save people.
Fire is so merciless, and the weakness of human nature is so obvious.
Prejudice, misunderstanding, disdain, and take for granted.
On the contrary, it reminds people of the netizens who insulted the fire heroes after the Liangshan fire, and those harsh words are cold to the hearts of people who have been carrying the weight for us.
The commander-in-chief's sentence: "You don't know much about firefighters!" ", but also let people can't help but cry.
Firefighters aren't afraid of sacrifice, they're afraid that people don't know what they're doing.
When the masses of the people are in danger, they will move forward resolutely, even if they pay their own blood and lives.
This group of ordinary people is doing the greatest things.
Lead actor Huang Xiaoming repeatedly stressed in the film's press conference interview - forget us, remember them.
Forget about these actors and remember these firefighters.
What they need is not only to remember, but also to understand and respect.
Although the film, the reviews are mixed.
But the moment you see these firefighters fearless of life and death, and see them rushing into the sea of fire in spite of themselves, they will still burst into tears.
Isn't it enough for more people to understand and remember these ordinary heroes?
Hats off to the most handsome retrogrades and thank you for carrying the weight for us.
