Hot Search: Will you speak out bravely when the truth is wrapped in interests?


Special feature of 1905 film network Directed, producer and starring, the film will be released nationwide this Friday (December 1st). Previously, this film won the "Most Expected Feature Film Award" at the 36th China Golden Rooster Award Domestic New Film Exhibition, which attracted much attention and expectation from the audience.



The film tells the story that the explosive articles created by Chen Miao (Zhou Dongyu), the editor-in-chief of the media, rushed to the hot search, but caused the female student of the party "bully" to jump off the building. However, a sexual assault case that was accidentally involved in the follow-up made Chen Miao’s partner He Yan (Song Yang) and investor Peng Yue (Justin) involved in it one after another. Public opinion has turned many times, what kind of interest chain is hidden behind the incident, and a public opinion war for the weak has started.


Movies have greater social significance for the current media environment, because the media environment we are in is becoming more and more one-sided, and the fragmented truth replaces the complete truth. At the same time, everyone can speak, seemingly speaking every word independently, but it may also be inadvertently used as a gun.


Public opinion is reversed, and watching movies is like watching reality.


What is "public opinion reversal"? After the release of a news event, network public opinion broke out, new information emerged one after another, the wind direction of public opinion changed constantly, the personnel of the parties reversed, and so on. In the end, this news event disappeared in this post-truth era, making people unable to remember or remember the original appearance of the event.


Xin Yukun, the director, caught this frequent network phenomenon and showed the logical chain behind it to the audience. The film Hot Search tells a story of constant inversion with dramatic effect, and the inversion here is not in the sense of genre, but in the sense of public opinion topic.



The story revolves around Chen Miao (Zhou Dongyu), the editor-in-chief of the media. She is well versed in the traffic code in the Internet era. In order to gain fans and attract investment, she planned many explosive articles and concocted a topic of bullying on campus for girls, which caused the public to have a cyber storm about "bully" Zhang Xiaosui (ornaments), but indirectly led to Zhang Xiaosui’s suicide by jumping off a building.



At this time, Chen Miao accidentally discovered the help information sent by a female student and involved a sexual assault case. The "public opinion reversal" war behind the hot search began, and a group of self-media people relied on the power of words to confront the capital power.


As the beginning of the film, it has already pulled out a very complicated social reality, but the whole truth has to be reversed several times. From the fierce confrontation between characters, it seems that we can see the crisscross of "swords and shadows". In the confrontation of each word, there is no absolute truth, only rumors and truth are constantly intertwined, bringing waves of confrontation.



The best thing about Hot Search is that it deeply dissects the "public opinion reversal" that has become the norm in recent years, and puts the whole process of making hot search on the table to tell everyone why it is sometimes so difficult for victims to speak out.


The law of communication is used and the battlefield of public opinion is formed.


Seeing this film, many viewers will definitely think of the previous and recent Hong Kong drama "The News Queen" and other film and television works. In fact, they all have a common feature that they are concerned about media ethics. The difference of Hot Search is that it not only pays attention to cyber violence, but also pays attention to journalistic professional ethics. It tells a complete, vivid and intuitive story about how the media, especially the online media, affect the generation of public opinion and public opinion.


In the film, a large number of tactics implemented by Chen Miao in the field of public opinion use the propagation laws such as "agenda setting and silence spiral". Combined with the plot and context of the film, it can make the audience understand — — What rules have shaped the public opinion environment in our lives?


For example, Zhou Dongyu plays Chen Miao in the film. She mentioned a very important keyword called "agenda setting", which means that the media greatly enhanced the importance of a news event in the audience’s mind by reporting it intensively or continuously. Today, our media structure is also changing, and more and more reports on current hot spots have emerged from the media, which has improved the timeliness and diversity of news.



On the other hand, the "gatekeeper" mechanism of news has also been weakened to some extent. "Reporting" focuses on showing facts, while "commenting" focuses on showing opinions and leading public opinion. The journalism involved by non-professional organizations and non-professional journalists is gradually deviating from those basic journalistic ethics and professional ethics. It has become an indisputable fact that news rationality and responsibility are sidelined and news perspective is skewed in the new media situation.


In addition, there is the law of "silence spiral" that is often mentioned in the film. In general, "silence spiral" refers to the fact that one party’s silence makes the other party more and more powerful, which leads people to dare to be angry even if they are obviously unfair. Just as the "victim" Zhang Xiaosui’s mother kept her mouth shut about the truth about her daughter’s victimization because of her outdated concept, other victims were also silent at the beginning, and the powerful abusers also used the water army to bring rhythm online, making the victims at the bottom speechless.



However, with the continuous fermentation of public opinion, "anti-spiral silence" has also emerged. It is easier to be noticed that people who hold opinions contrary to public opinion, but their comments will make the people who hold public opinion defect. When a victim is willing to stand up and speak out, more and more people will stand up and speak out, which will condense into the power of public opinion storm. This is also the touching place of this film. Women help women, try their best to save each other and save themselves, and defend the truth and conscience of the world.



Guo Chaoren, the former president of Xinhua News Agency, once encouraged reporters in four words: "There are thousands of properties in the pen, there are disloyalty and treachery in the pen, there are rights and wrongs in the pen, and there are lives in the pen." These four sentences are still four proverbs in today’s media environment!


In today’s internet age, behind every hot search is a struggle for people’s attention, for attention, and for emotion and recognition. Unconsciously, ordinary people have become the targets of being used. The film Hot Search not only reveals the truth in the current new media environment, but also brings us some warnings: online public opinion can destroy a person, but fortunately, brave and sincere voice can also save the next person.


How much do you know about the background story of "Hunting in the Air"?


1905 movie network news 2017 is a big year for audiences who love war movies. The appearance of the movie has boosted the box office of China mainland to an unprecedented height, and also let everyone see the potential of domestic main melody films. Later, it was shown in the mainland, showing the individual’s experience in the war, and the smoke of war decades ago reappeared on the screen. In contrast, aiming at the eleventh gear is a sword on the side, which shows the People’s Air Force under the background of the new international situation and the information age for the first time, and also shows the equipment development and actual combat capability of the People’s Air Force in the past five years.

 

 

As the first work directed and performed by Jerry Lee, Hunting in the Sky tells the story of the squadron of "Overlord Sirius" which gathers the elite of the air force, and is ordered to attack bravely in the face of the crisis when terrorists from neighboring countries control the missile well and take China citizens hostage. Among them, the emotional line between Jerry Lee and Fan Bingbing runs through from beginning to end, and transnational joint anti-terrorism and assistance to China citizens are also displayed in great length.

 

The main performance of "Hunting in the Air" is air force pilots, and air combat is the biggest attraction of this film. The main aircraft types of the Air Force, such as J -20, J -11B, J -10C, Yun -20, Air Police 500, Zhi -8, Zhi -9, etc., appeared in a concentrated manner, among which J-20 appeared in a fighting posture for the first time, and J -10C and Mirage 2000 confronted each other in complex terrain, and all kinds of difficult tactical actions were very enjoyable.

 

For war-themed works, if you don’t know much about the background knowledge of the film, the viewing effect will be greatly reduced, and the little knowledge behind the film "Hunting in the Air" is actually more interesting.

 

 

Military uniform: 17-style flight suit, 07-style military uniform, camouflage uniform.

 

Whether in the film or at the press conference, Li Chen is wearing a new flight suit that has not yet been installed. This gray-green one-piece flight suit looks simple and beautiful, and its subordinate troops are marked in an eye-catching position on the chest, which is obviously different from the current Type 02 flight suit in terms of color and style.

 

In a scene of parachute training in desert area, Jerry Lee, wearing a 17-style flight suit, was able to move freely after landing. He used his running track to write down the coordinate orientation of "South Mountain South" in the navigation system, which showed that this one-piece flight suit was light and convenient for pilots to move in a narrow cockpit.

 

 

At the same time, there is also a winter flying leather coat that is different from the current equipment, and there is an obvious hook and loop combination of rank and name on the chest of the leather coat. There is also a pocket with zipper above the left arm for convenient storage. This flying leather coat is more like a symbol of the membership of Batian Wolf Squadron in the film, which belongs to the fiction in the film.

 

 

The 07 navy uniform was briefly introduced in Wolf Warriors 2, and the 07 air force uniform was also shown in more space in Hunting in the Air. According to the rank configuration, the role played by Wang Xueyin, an old opera player, is the highest. When entering the command center, Wang Xueyin appeared in a uniform coat. This coat is designed with hidden buttons and a belt at the waist, which is simple and generous. Comparing the uniforms of Wu Xiubo, Fan Bingbing and others, it will be found that Wang Xueyin’s big-brimmed hat is equipped with golden ribbons and brim flowers, while the ribbons of field officers and commandant officers are light blue.

 

 

As the representative of the female soldier image in the film, Fan Bingbing appeared in the camera with the unique rolled-off hat of female soldiers, and sat under the stage with the captain’s epaulettes to listen to the speech of the senior colonel played by Wu Xiubo.

 

In camouflage clothing, there are three kinds of undistributed equipment in "Hunting in the Sky": desert camouflage, blurred edge camouflage and snow camouflage. Among them, snow camouflage adds light gray to the white background, which is convenient to blend in with the surrounding environment.

 

 

According to the different environment, the airborne soldiers use the camouflage with blurred edges in the film, which can play an excellent camouflage effect in the dark.

 

Noun explanation: Barents sea scalpel with gold helmet

 

 

When recruiting excellent pilots to join the "Sirius" squadron, Wang Qianyuan repeatedly emphasized the golden helmet pilots, and the so-called golden helmet was actually a flying skill competition award set up by the China Air Force. As an annual competition, the pilots who compete in air-to-air competitions every year will get the physical reward of the golden helmet, which symbolizes the highest honor of the pilots and is also an affirmation of their ability.

 

 

When Wang Qianyuan was teaching students the history of war, he used Jerry Lee to intercept enemy fighters and compared it with the scalpel incident in Barents Sea. As the most famous Soviet air collision case during the Cold War, the Barents Sea scalpel incident has been mentioned many times. In 1987, the Norwegian Air Force’s P-3B anti-submarine patrol aircraft encountered a Soviet Air Force Su -27 fighter and was damaged by the other side’s vertical tail. According to the disclosure afterwards, the aerial contest consisted of three rounds and lasted for 17 minutes.

 

Main aircraft types: J -20, J -11B, J -10C, Yun -20, Air Police -500, Mirage 2000, Zhi -8 and Zhi -9.

 

 

"Hunting in the Air" is also a concentrated display of China Air Force equipment. The appearances of J -20, J -11B, J -10C, Yun -20, Air Police 500, Zhi -8 and Zhi -9 are dizzying, among which Yun-20 and J-20 appeared in front of the audience for the first time in a fighting posture. On the day before the film was released, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of National Defense said at a regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense that the J -20 had been equipped with troops, which showed that this fighter had been finalized and entered the stage of small-scale production.

 

 

J -11B is the fighter plane that entered Mabu for the first time to perform its mission, with Wang Qianyuan as the leader and Jerry Lee as the wingman. After encountering the Sam -6 anti-aircraft missile controlled by terrorists, he made a wonderful escape. Finally, Jerry Lee accelerated to climb up after receiving the instructions, and Wang Qianyuan’s landline was damaged by the missile, and he himself was seriously injured in the eye.

 

 

A set of "combination boxing" appeared when the fighter plane was damaged and attacked Mabu again. Rainbow -5, a new UAV developed in China, cooperated with J -10C and Air Police -500 early warning aircraft mounted with Eagle Strike 91 anti-radar missiles, and Yun -20, which can perform long-distance air transportation tasks, and finally eliminated the terrorists entrenched in Mabu.

 

 

In the performance of foreign fighters, Mirage 2000 and F-15 appeared, among which the confrontation between J -10C and Mirage 2000 machine gun developed by France became the biggest highlight, and the picture of the confrontation between the two fighters in the valley was unforgettable.

 

 

In the film, Fan Bingbing plays a pilot who mainly flies a helicopter to perform a search and rescue mission. In the first mission to rescue people trapped by mudslides, Zhi -9 appeared, and the last mission was to drive Zhi -8.


Zhi -8 is a multi-purpose helicopter with many improved models, which was used to carry China citizens in Mabu in "Hunting in the Air". It can be clearly seen that the excellent transport capacity of Zhi -8 makes the overseas evacuation of overseas Chinese by the Air Force go smoothly, and it is also relatively smooth to travel through the complex terrain in mountainous areas. After terrorists from Mabu took the Mirage 2000 to aim at Zhi -8 on the way home, Jerry Lee made the decision of plane collision without ammunition.

Zhi -9 is a picture when the film begins to introduce Fan Bingbing who joined the Batianlang team. When the mudslide rushed to the primary school, Zhi -9 hovered over the target building and rescued the victims through ropes at the last minute.

 

Other equipment: reconnaissance robot, Bobcat ATV, Land Shield 2000 air defense system.

 

 

In the film, there are also brief pictures of reconnaissance robots, Bobcat ATVs, Land Shield 2000 air defense systems and other equipment, among which the domestic Bobcat ATVs with compact design and excellent handling performance performed well. This kind of car is used by airborne troops in the film, and it can gallop after carrying six passengers, which plays an auxiliary role in eliminating terrorists.

 

 

Land Shield 2000 air defense system appears in the film, which is used for terminal defense of the airport and can effectively intercept low-altitude targets such as air-to-ground missiles, cruise missiles and helicopters.

 

"Hunting in the Air" shows a lot of air force equipment for the first time, which is unforgettable. It is also a film that once again shows the image of China’s contemporary soldiers on the screen after the appearance of "Wolf Warriors 2", which triggered the topic. It has played an important role in establishing the image of contemporary China soldiers, enhancing people’s patriotic enthusiasm, and letting more and more audiences see the potential of China’s main melody films.
