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.


The Story of China People | To Chen Lu: You are the most beautiful "flame blue" retrograde in the flood.

  — — In this world, life is dying every day. What can be used to prove that we have been here?

  — — Someone remembers.

  Chen Lu, Party Secretary and Political Instructor of Lujiang County Fire Rescue Brigade in Hefei City, Anhui Province, is such a person who will be remembered forever.

  From July 18 to 21, heavy rain fell in Hefei, Anhui Province, and Lujiang County suffered a once-in-a-century flood. The water levels of many rivers exceeded the historical peak. Chen Lu led the brigade’s fire fighters to five towns and villages, fought for 96 hours, successfully transferred and rescued 2665 people, but he himself stayed in the front line of flood control forever.

  On July 26th, Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League and Anhui Youth Federation posthumously awarded Comrade Chen Lu the "Anhui Youth May 4th Medal". On July 27th, Comrade Chen Lu was rated as a martyr by the Emergency Management Department, and was awarded the first class merit. On July 28th, the Party Committee of the Fire Rescue Bureau of the Emergency Management Department posthumously awarded Comrade Chen Lu as "Outstanding Communist party member of the National Fire Rescue Team". On July 30th, Anhui Provincial Party Committee posthumously awarded Comrade Chen Lu the title of "Excellent Communist party member of Anhui Province". At 9: 00 a.m. on July 30, at the farewell ceremony of the body of the martyr Chen Lu, nearly a thousand relatives, friends, comrades-in-arms, people from all walks of life and the masses bid farewell to Chen Lu’s last journey with a heavy heart. Sorrow is hard to suppress. I only hope that letters can silently tell those sorrows and thoughts that tears can’t express … …

  Dear brother:

  Since then, you and I have been separated by two days, and if there is a wish, dreams will be entrusted! Don’t worry about things at home, our brothers must keep them in mind!

  Hearing the bad news of your falling into the water, I rushed over all night to look for you on the water with your comrades. I wish I could see you waving at me on a branch of a tree somewhere, next to a telephone pole or on the roof in a flood. Until the afternoon of the 24th, I finally found you, but I didn’t want to. You left us.

  At that moment, I froze. I don’t know how to face your departure, and I don’t know how to talk to your closest relatives.

  When I walked into your office again, it was empty, and there was a pile of medicine for skin pain on the table. You left in a hurry and didn’t have time to clean it up, just as you left, you came so unprepared.

  From July 18th to 22nd, you fought for four days in a row on the front line of flood control. You are really stupid. There are harmful substances such as fertilizer, feces and animal carcasses in the water, which is very corrosive. You still wade in the water again and again to pick up the trapped people. As a result, your knees are red and swollen, and you can hardly bend and walk normally. Even your soaked pants can only be taken off by your teammates. At that time, they wouldn’t let you go out again, but when you got a call and heard that someone was trapped, you gritted your teeth and rushed out.

  You said that you are familiar with this water area, and you are good at water. You can’t worry about letting others go! Yes, you won the swimming competition in the city. At that time, you just made a round trip to rescue several trapped villagers. You were familiar with the road conditions, and the number of rescue boats was increased to five, so someone needed to take the lead. So when you proposed to go again, everyone let you go, although they were distressed by your health.

  Unexpectedly, this is a farewell!

  On that day, as always, you volunteered to lead the way. When you went there, the dam breach was only 5 meters. On the way back, the dam breach quickly increased to more than 40 meters, and the water level difference suddenly soared from 40 centimeters to more than 3 meters. The "rolling dam" which is the most unpredictable, difficult to save oneself and prone to danger in water rescue has appeared … …

  "Turn around, turn around!" The boat capsized! Your assault boat shook violently under the collision of rapids, and all five people on board were sucked into the "rolling dam".

  Fortunately, all three comrades were rescued, but you and Wang Song, deputy secretary of the Party branch of Lianhe Village, have disappeared. Your mother was shocked to hear the bad news and murmured, "It’s a good thing they’re all right, otherwise how can we tell their parents?" Hearing this sentence, I felt very sad at that time, but I also vaguely understood why you have been sticking to the grassroots level and why you are always at the forefront in case of major disasters!

  Your grandfather is a veteran of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and your father is the first generation of Anhui border guards. You are a family with red genes. Low-key and introverted, dedication and sacrifice have long been engraved in your bones.

  In 2008, Hefei suffered a major snowstorm once in 50 years, with a thickness of 40 cm. In order to keep the "vegetable basket" of Hefei citizens — — Hefei Zhougudui Vegetable Wholesale Market will not affect the supply of vegetables in the whole city. We are going to arrange firemen to go to the roof and wash the snow down with water guns to reduce the load of greenhouses. If you don’t trust, you have to go on it yourself and work from 8 pm to 6 am the next day. In the morning, I received another snow cleaning task from another factory. In this way, after working for two days and two nights, you didn’t have much rest. Your feet were soaked with snow, and only your family knew that your left big toe was almost amputated. Since then, it has fallen to the root of the disease, and it hurts when it rains.

  In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the environment was very difficult, and the rescue task was extremely heavy. You were not acclimatized, and your whole body was blistered, your immune system was disordered, and your legs were bitten by poisonous insects. You dragged your legs and carried more than 60 kilograms of demolition equipment, and you persisted in fighting in the earthquake zone for 10 days.

  On February 20, 2011, a taxi accidentally hit the locomotive, and five people were trapped, including a baby who was starving. On April 26th, 2011, there was a sudden fire in Yaohai electromechanical market, and you were always in the front line!

  You take personal gains and losses lightly, and your responsibility and mission seriously. You’ve given away so many meritorious service and awards to others. When you become the chief of the brigade, I thought you would be in the rear of the town and command, which is relatively safe. Unexpectedly, you will still charge in the front line and fight with the players! In 2016, in the flood control in Lujiang County, you fainted due to continuous fatigue and were rushed to the hospital. It took two hours to save your life, but you never asked the organization or even mentioned it.

  You said, "I am in the fire, in the front line of rescue, and every time I rescue the trapped people with my own hands, I feel very warm and fulfilled when I see the people’s satisfied smiles and hear their thanks. I feel that I am engaged in the most sunny business in the world. This is my life value."

  You said, "I like being at the grass-roots level and leading troops. It is my greatest trust to organize and hand over the team to me. I want to be worthy of the organization, the parents of the players, and my conscience in the middle."

  You said, "It’s better to serve others with virtue than with coercion. When there is danger, I stand in the front, and everyone will follow me, so it will be no problem. The most important thing to bring troops at the grassroots level is responsibility. "

  "Firefighting" is a profession that knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to travel in the mountains. Every night when you are out of the police, you always have to wait until the car comes back and you hear the brakes, then you will put out the lights in the office.

  The team members all say that every time they see the light on in the middle of the night, they feel very safe. With you around, no matter how tired we are, everyone is full of energy. There is an alarm clock at 2 am in your mobile phone, because you go to see how the players sleep at this time every day. You don’t have any leadership airs. For many years, whenever the family members of firefighters come, you insist on picking them up and seeing them off in person when you leave. You are the closest brother, comrade-in-arms and big brother of the players.

  You are the indomitable spirit of man of iron at work and the pillar of the whole family. The fire truck model on your desk is a gift you prepared for your child, but you didn’t have time to give it away. You said that you plan to have another daughter next year, so you can have both children! Your whole family was shrouded in great grief after receiving the bad news of your sacrifice in fighting floods and transferring people.

  However, the family still wrote a personal letter: "At present, the flood control situation in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River basins is still very serious. Our family hopes that the leaders of the fire rescue team will focus on the overall situation of flood control and flood fighting, and don’t involve too much energy for Chen Lu’s aftermath. " How can such a family member who understands the righteousness deeply not be admirable!

  I wish the nightmare had never started. You are still the fire commander who rushed to the front and the most dangerous place, and the gentle father whose only circle of friends is the birth photo of his son … …

  Do you need heroes in peacetime?

  Need! A hero is the person who may stand where we can’t see, but must stand in front of each of us in times of crisis!

  Brother, you are my hero! May I be your brother in the next life!

  Brother: Liu Shuhu

  "thirty-six years of passionate life, the soul of the hero is not lost, and the heart is reflected in the mountains and rivers; Nineteen years of fire and water youth, loyal and brave for the people to go to difficulties. " This is an elegy written by a comrade-in-arms for Chen Lu, which condensed his short and passionate life.

  The fire rescue team is the closest and most closely connected with the people, and it is also one of the most dangerous jobs in peacetime. Save the people from fire and water, help the people in danger, dare to go up in the mountains, dare to rush in the sea of fire, stand the test in blood and fire, stand up when the people are in danger, where there is danger, there are them!

  The hero has gone. The land he guarded with his life and the people who live on this land will always keep this respect in their hearts and pass on the spirit of people first and life first forever. A promising nation cannot live without heroes, and a promising country cannot live without pioneers. Today’s peace is condensed by the spirits and melted by the blood of heroes; The future peace depends on the protection and guarantee of heroes. Remember the hero, admire the hero, defend the hero, learn from the hero, care for the hero and praise the hero, so that the hero will never walk alone.
