We all know that this movie was adapted from a real event, the emergency alternate landing of Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633 on May 14, 2018. Only three months after the incident, the film has been publicized.
After more than a year, the film officially came out. Putting an amazing real event on the screen in such a short period of time is also quite amazing in its efficiency.
"Chinese Captain" reveals an emergency call trailer and reappears at the heartbreaking moment
In this trailer, we heard the textbook-level dialogue between the captain and the air traffic controller when the cockpit was in distress.
Liu Changjian, the captain played by Zhang Hanyu, said slowly, calmly, and calmly, "Sichuan...8633, I am a bit faulty now, I apply for the next altitude."
"8633, keep under 8400 ."
"Get off at 8400, I am going back home, and my windshield is cracked now."
"The windshield is cracked, right?"
"Hey, that's right."
... …
After this short conversation, there was a terrible, bursting "bang". After that, there was only a gust of wind and deathly silence on the channel.
We all know what happened: the windshield of the cockpit broke, the plane was shaken, and the cockpit instantly became tens of degrees below zero. Half of the first officer flew out of the window, half of his body hung outside the window.
Yes, if you are also interested in the Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 incident, especially if you have also listened to the ATC recording that year, you will find...
The dialogue in the film is exactly the same as the actual event.
Of course, the film’s restoration of real events is by no means limited to this classic dialogue.
On May 14, 2018, on Sichuan Airlines flight 3U8633 from Chongqing to Lhasa, the front windshield of the right seat of the cockpit suddenly broke and fell off at an altitude of 9,800 meters.
In the extreme environment completely unsuitable for human survival, the captain remained calm and professional, racing against time and making emergency landings. The plane finally arrived safely at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport and all passengers landed safely.
"Captain of China" fully demonstrated the process of this crisis:
The windshield glass shattered and the plane shook violently. When the pressure was relieved, the co-pilot was sucked out of the plane immediately, and half a man floated in the air.
The captain and co-pilot in the cockpit were all exposed to a low temperature of minus 40 degrees, and the powerful airflow The captain's face was beaten at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, and the first officer's clothes were cut into cloth strips.
Hypoxia, severe cold, cabin decompression, rapid decline, and loud noise. In the case of a complete failure of automatic driving, the captain was completely manual and relied on perseverance to master the steering stick to complete the return.

In the cabin, the flight attendants were serving meals, and the surprise came off guard. The dining car was still left in the aisle, shaking around. After the accident, lunch boxes and personal belongings were scattered on the ground.

After doing a little homework, come to watch this movie, I believe you will feel even more shocked.
Because, most of the description of the pre-event in the film can indeed correspond to many details in the real event.
As small as a dining car and short sleeves, as large as the injuries of the flight attendants and the co-pilot, the air traffic control bureau and the captain’sTogether, these have completely restored the true situation of the incident.
Even one of the most ignited sections in the film is also a completely real event
In fact, the biggest advantage of "Captain China" is reflected here:
There is no need to do too much rendering and sensationalism, as long as the real events are presented in the original, it is powerful and good enough.
In terms of genre, this movie is undoubtedly a highly completed genre film. After all, the event itself and the character prototypes are full of legends, which also ensures the visibility of the film.
Zhang Hanyu played Liu Changjian and the captain Liu Chuanjian
It has been mentioned repeatedly before that the typification of the main theme movie is quite common in recent years. Including the director Liu Weiqiang himself, who is also familiar with this. When he filmed "The Founding of the Army" before, he boldly adopted many small fresh meat actors.
finally proved that he was successful.
Many traffic actors have contributed their career best performances in the film, especially Ou Hao. To a certain extent, his transformation from fresh meat to actor started from this movie.
In "Chinese Captain", Liu Weiqiang once again challenged himself: the surprise of this movie is that it is also a professional genre of civil aviation.
is equivalent to the former, while the latter is more lacking in domestic films: no matter in the category of movies or TV series, we have few works, which can truly show the professionalism, industry spirit and professional ethics of an industry.
And "Chinese Captain" is just right here. The core that really supports this story is the film's true presentation of the civil aviation industry.
From the beginning of the film, we directly cut to the topic: in the early morning, the crew members rushed to the airport. Although the black and white were reversed and their faces were tired, they still had to start the regular meeting vigorously. Various routine inspections, physical examinations, cabin inspections, etc., are carried out, and the pilots also need to perform round-trip inspections before takeoff.
In ordinary disaster films, these lengths are not important, they are just the foreshadowing before the climax; but these plots are indispensable to "Chinese Captain".
Because it allows us to see the lives of civil aviation workers —
is different from what we imagined, but their work is actually very trivial and complicated, full of repetitive tasks day after day .
The flight attendant needs to face unreasonable passengers, to calm everyone's emotions, and to remain in danger at all times.
The pilot must also repeat the standard call. Any simple operation must maintain a cautious attitude and an enemy. This is also a very mechanical process.
To photograph the real civil aviation industry, of course, the main creative team also needs to do enough homework to show enough sincerity in the film.
Although the entire filming cycle is very short, the actors raced against time to receive more than three months of learning and training before the filming started. Even before they got the script, they were already engaged in training.
In the morning, I learned aircraft theory knowledge in the classroom, and in the afternoon I conducted field training in the simulation cabin: the seemingly mechanical and boring training routine also allowed them to completely enter another dimension of life.
Actresses who play flight attendants need to be trained in manners, movements, and gestures. From the standard smile with eight teeth to the standing position to provide services, even as simple as pouring a glass of water, there are strict technical indicators behind them .
The actors who played the pilots had to bite the bullet and "gnaw the book" and received more stringent flight theory knowledge and subject training.
Du Jiang said with a smile: How can there be so many buttons in this world, countless buttons flashing mysterious light
After the shooting, Zhang Hanyu, who played the role of the captain, almost cultivated a set of "professional" habits: every time he sat on an airplane, when the airplane took off, taxied and landed, he would think of the pilot's operation gestures, and at the same time immediately. Think of how I turn, take off and lift the pole in the simulator.
Only after receiving sufficient training can he have the confidence to say such a thing, and then he has the confidence to act as our "hero captain".
In order to let the audience have a more realistic "flying experience" on the big screen, the main creative team has spent a lot of money to produce a 1:1 reduction, three-stage separation, and a weight of more than 20 tons A319 simulator. Such projects usually take ten months, but they only took three months.
The studio is equipped with high-pressure liquid pipes and high-strength air cylinders, which can release up to 10mpa of air pressure and emit close to level 8 wind.
Zhang Hanyu, who was sitting in the cockpit, said that he was blown by seven or eight fans and blowers every day, "I'm full when I drink the wind, and I can't eat anymore."
The co-pilot played by Ou Hao was injured and needed three hours of special makeup every day. In the later stage of the shooting, his facial allergies became very serious and his face There are many red rashes.
Yamei, who plays the role of the flight attendant, has a scene in the film where she falls due to weightlessness. In the actual shooting, she was indeed in a simulation cabin as small as the real cabin, without any protection measures, and she fell out. It swelled for several days afterwards.

To ensure the accuracy and truthfulness of the performance, starting from the official shooting, each actor will communicate with the prototype character through WeChat and video every day. They communicate and confirm every line and every action they make. The
set also specially arranged several flight technical consultants to "supervise" carefully one by one. If there is something inappropriate, the director will be notified and adjusted in time.
In the end, such a professional and rigorous craftsman's attitude was also intuitively fed back into the work: in the movie, everyone is well-trained and performs his own duties.
Flight attendants are the objects that we will often come into contact with in real life, and the performance of these "stewardesses", smiles and body language are all convincing enough.
What happens in the cockpit, most of the time, it is difficult for ordinary passengers to know. "Captain of China" opened a window for us:
Pilots always use standardized and fixed language during take-off, climb, cruise, and descent phases, not many words, but not many words. This is the profession.
Because of this, you will find that this is by no means a sensational movie.
On the contrary, the film has maintained a calm and restrained tone from beginning to end. Because, in the dilemma described in this movie, any emotional release and venting are out of date.
Yuan Quan, who plays the flight attendant, also said in an interview: "When many scenes were filmed on the spot, I couldn't help but want to cry, but I knew that I had to swallow the tears."
Yuan Quan, who "holds back not crying", also contributed one of the most burning and brightest moments in the film.
After the crisis, when the cabin became flustered, restless, full of roaring and crying, She stood up bravely, gentle and firm, with a calm tone, as if there was a fire in her eyes:
"Every one of us has undergone day-to-day training, just to ensure everyone’s safety, this is also us Why do these people make sense on this plane."
"Please trust our captain, we will go back together."

This drama is really contagious, it makes people get goose bumps, it is beyond words to describe.
Of course, this actually shows that this movie is definitely not the Chinese version of "Captain Sally".
Because, as described in the movie, in real events, miracles happen not only because of a single individual, but are still a collective victory, a victory for each link.
The pilot's effort to turn the tide, the flight attendant's contingency, the passenger's cooperation and trust, the full support of various departments on the ground...Everyone did what they should do, and together they created this miracle.
This is still a Chinese-style miracle. Everyone is a pinch of firelight that condenses into an inextinguishable torch.
In such a story, civil aviation workers are both ordinary people and heroes. They are well-trained and perform their duties, and they have truly given us a sense of trust——
Why can this crew make the miracle of survival of all members at an altitude of 9800 meters?
because they are professional.
Their calmness and stability are the backbone of Sichuan Airlines 3U8633 and the backbone of the movie "Captain of China".
can show this very well, well done respecting facts and restoring details-probably, this is the most burning place of "Chinese Captain".
