Recently, a movie that is about to be released has made many audiences "unable to sit still".
After many roadshows and premieres of the film, many people's heartstrings were touched by the plot, and then burst out with different emotions, and even dared not watch it.
Some people, because of this film, cried until the tissue was not enough:
"Crying until the headache can't be relieved, and I see that I end up with tears on my face"
Some people, because of this film, unconsciously look at the sky.
They also think that the film is the hottest film in 2023:
"It's so nervous that it's clenched into a fist, it's really burning."
"After watching the movie, I was excited, and the end burned me"
Even celebrities in the circle, including director Guo Fan, actors Shen Teng, and Jin Chen, frantically praised the film after watching the movie.
What is the sacredness of such a film that has attracted widespread attention?
Don't sell it, it is the movie "King of the Long Sky" that is about to land on May 1st, and those above are the correct postures for watching "The King of the Long Sky".
Under the fermentation of word-of-mouth, its pre-sale box office exceeded 70 million, and all data led the same schedule.
On the social platform, the performance of the first place in the hot search list for 80 times shows the super high degree of discussion of the film.
Then, the May 1st file is coming, and there is no doubt that this "King of the Long Sky" is bound to become the leader of the schedule.
Next, let Bluestone talk to you about its highlights.
01 "Dancer on the tip of the knife" - test pilot
From the conceptual point of view, this "King of the Long Sky" plays a very new card.
This time, it popularized a proper term in aviation for us - test pilots.
Test pilots, that is, pilots who specialize in performing aircraft test flight tasks.
Such pilots play an extremely important role in the testing phase of the development of new aircraft.
Before each new aircraft is launched, it is often they who pilot it again and again, constantly risking their lives to explore the aircraft's performance problems.
Due to the particularity of the mission, this requires test pilots not only to have excellent driving skills and strong psychological quality, but also to face various extreme challenges.
As the movie says, "If you want to test the new limits of airplanes, you must first push the limits of you [test pilots]." ”
In order to obtain the limit data of new fighters, test pilots often need to push their personal limits and face many unpredictable dangers, which is why they are regarded as the "knife dancers" in the industry.
In the movie, the director presents high-altitude thrilling pictures from the perspective of test pilots, allowing us to intuitively feel the dedication of test flight heroes.
It is worth mentioning that this "King of the Long Sky" is not fiction, but is heavily based on real prototypes.
Through the release of the film, the director team also took us to extend the outside of the play in the form of tidbits and visit the greatness of the test flight heroes in reality.
For example, Li Gang, a test pilot who completed the first flight of the J-20;
In 2011, Li Gang successfully completed the first flight test mission of the J-20, becoming the first test pilot to fly a mainland stealth fighter into the blue sky.
But the first flight does not mean the end of the mission, but only the beginning.
In the following seven years, Li Gang and his team carried out more than 1,000 J-20 sorties until 2017.
Talking about the hardships of the past 7 years, the hero Li Gang himself only responded indifferently, the group of test pilots is more like knife sharpeners, and their appearance is to provide protection for real pilots.
What touched Bluestone even more was the sacrifice of many test flight heroes to the aviation industry.
Facing the camera, seniors counted the number of their test flights and laughed about the dangers in their careers.
When it comes to potential risks, the unapologetic response of the old-timers also makes us feel a sense of emotion.
Obviously, it is precisely with this generation of test pilots who have worked hard to test the flight, the mainland aviation industry will flourish all the way, and the J-20 will soar into the sky today.
These aviation heroes have contributed to the great development of China's aviation.
As far as the heroic deeds are to be restored, the concept pattern of this "King of the Long Sky" is very good!
02 Test pilots, reflecting China's aviation epic from the side
The deeper meaning of the theme of "King of the Long Sky" is that it reflects the history of China's aviation development through the deeds of test pilots.
Since 1949, China's aviation industry has embarked on a path from 0 to 1 and from 1 to infinite possibilities.
In the behind-the-scenes footage, the crew invited Chinese airlines to introduce us to the difficult past.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were only 17 aircraft in New China, and none of them were made in China.
Compared with the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, the air power of the mainland at that time was extremely different from them.
In this regard, experts bluntly said that China's aviation at that time was equivalent to "inheriting and writing" from generation to generation on a blank piece of paper.
In the process of the old-timers working together to lay the foundation for China's aviation, test pilots played an important role in the middle, and they used sacrifice and dedication to broaden the horizons of aviation.
And this "King of the Long Sky" also shows the development path of the new era of Chinese aviation through the process of the protagonist's test flight of the J-20, allowing us to feel the national feelings inherited by aviation people.
From many shots in the movie, the touching national feelings can also be seen everywhere.
With the thrilling test flight process, the test pilots in the picture are still the same firm posture.
The character's firm monologue "I'm going to try out the best plane so that the combatants on the front lines can go home safely and grow up with their children." "It's even more touching.
In the context of frequent intrusion by Western military aircraft, the test pilot's phrase "what was lost before, our generation will take it back" allows us to see the hardness of aviation people.
Like a history book spanning decades, the characters in "King of the Long Sky" restore the dreams of the home and country of the aviation predecessors in reality.
This tribute to China's aviation dream also makes the film pattern improve again.
03 The story is so good, the true appearance of the contemporary advanced fighter test pilot was filmed by it
After talking about the theme, let's switch back to the main plot line and see what "King of the Long Sky" actually says.
"King of the Long Sky" is set in a new era and is based on the stories of multiple J-20 test pilots.
In the plot, the protagonist Lei Yu (played by Wang Yibo) and other young pilots officially became test pilots after various rigorous selections.
In the context of repeated intrusions by Western fighters using equipment advantages, the development of the J-20 has long been imminent.
Under the leadership of the captain Zhang Ting (played by Hu Jun), this group of desperate test pilots also plunged into dangerous test flights one after another.
And for the expansion of China's aviation dream, they also paid a lot of price ...
From the movie, we can intuitively feel the various pressures faced by test pilots.
First, all kinds of heavy training test the body;
During the various test flight assessments, the characters undergo various extreme state training such as tolerance tests.
Such a cumulative and repetitive training assessment requires not only strong physical fitness, but also requires them to maintain strong resilience.
Then there is the urgent pressure exerted by external forces;
Western fighters broke into the airspace of our army, and the imposing phrase "we can come whenever we want", made us sound very angry, and also made us feel the urgency of upgrading the air force.
Then, the line of the aviation leader was even more like an arrow hitting the heart:
"Western fourth-generation aircraft against our third-generation aircraft, just like world boxing champion Tyson beating a high school student, that is effortless, we must hand over the killer as soon as possible!"
Then, there are the sacrifices that test pilots are forced to make to complete their mission;
The captain played by Hu Jun once appeared in front of the tombstones of his former comrades-in-arms.
The moving "I missed you" is not only touching, but also suggests that someone paid with their lives on the road to test flight.
And Lei Yu, a test pilot played by Wang Yibo, faced with his parents' dissuasion, and the sentence "My son is not filial, but I can't not fly", makes us feel the spirit of the test pilot sacrificing the small family for everyone.
The test flight of the J-20 is the only way for China to compete with Western powers, but behind it, the efforts of the test pilots also made us cry.
04 Good-looking! High burning dazzling, the production presents the texture of a blockbuster
In addition to the plot, "King of the Long Sky" has another big highlight that must be mentioned.
That is the creation of a scene with a very large texture.
In this regard, Bluestone wants to use three words to describe the texture of the film.
The first word is called high burning;
In the movie, one after another J-20 test flight fighters shuttled through the clouds, and the pictures of speeding were dizzying.
The intuitive panoramic display of the J-20 also allows us to feel the dazzling dazzling of this new era fighter.
The spectacular picture of the J-20 flying in the sunset allows us to intuitively feel the rise of China's aviation industry and ignite pride in the growing strength of the motherland.
The second word is called refreshing;
At the beginning of the film, the director sets a refreshing tone for the entire film.
With a fierce five-minute air battle, the roar of fighter planes through the clouds brought us a refreshing audio-visual experience.
Then, the dazzling scenes that made people reluctant to blink came one after another.
Including the J-20 various fancy soaring sky, it makes us look quite refreshing.
The flying fighter presented by the large elevation angle angle allows us to intuitively feel the powerful performance of the J-20.
How can this dynamic picture be a cool word?
The third word is called heart-wrenching;
In the plot, with the operation of challenging the limit again and again during the test flight process, we also feel the various dangers of the test flight process.
During the high-altitude test flight of the J-20 fighter, the shots of lifting, stalling, and restarting one after another made us feel like we were in the scene, and we couldn't help but worry about the fate of the characters. Among them, Captain Zhang Ting, played by Hu Jun, is the most heart-wrenching and tearful.
Under the director's meticulous portrayal, professional terms such as "stall tail spin" and "air parking" also appeared in a clear style.
One by one, the shocking scenes let us intuitively understand the definition of the words "dancer on the tip of the knife".
Of course, the creation of the texture of the big scene of "King of the Long Sky" is inseparable from the help of a special "big coffee".
That's right, that's the much-anticipated J-20.
This time, the film party "invited" the J-20 real machine to appear, which is also the first time that this top fighter has appeared on the big screen.
I have to say that we have a blessed eye this time.
In general, the above highlights at the plot level are the reasons why "King of the Long Sky" attracts us to watch.
From the perspective of film production, the behind-the-scenes team has enhanced my expectations for the professionalism of the film.
Director Liu Xiaoshi has been working in the Aviation Industry Group since graduation, and has a lot of contact with the test pilot community, and his directing makes people feel at ease with the professionalism of the work.
During the filming process, Liu Xiaoshi also invited many test pilots to participate in the consultant, and almost every scene was controlled by test flight heroes, and the professionalism of the film was further locked.
Looking horizontally and vertically, no matter which angle you look at, the advantages of this "King of the Long Sky" cannot be hidden.
Throughout the film, we can not only see the acting skills of the acting school online, but also directly hit the refreshing picture of the J-20 soaring into the sky.
More importantly, we can also experience China's aviation dream of becoming bigger and stronger through the perspective of "test pilots", and feel the tearful feelings of home and country.
With acting skills, pictures, and feelings, the texture of "King of the Long Sky" is too full.
May 1st is coming, and Qingshi also believes that this "King of the Long Sky" will definitely "take off" during the May Day holiday, and it is hoped to become the "king of theaters" in the schedule.
