The movie "Fire Hero" let more people know about the profession of firefighters. The film was released on August 1 and has now grossed more than 500 million. The creators once said that we should not just regard "hero of fire" as an entertainment movie. "I hope you can see the movie, forget our actors and remember the firefighters.". The film adapted from real events has made many fans cry. So, where is the movie really?
The real event is adapted from 7 & middot; 16 rescue
Based on baoerji & middot; field long reportage "the deepest water is tears", the story prototype is Dalian 7 & middot; 16 oil explosion fire in 2010.
On July 16, 2010, during the unloading process of a 300000 DWT foreign oil tanker in Dalian Xingang, improper operation caused an oil pipeline explosion, which ignited 100000 DWT oil tanks. There were dozens of oil tanks around this level. More than 2000 firefighters of Liaoning Public Security successfully put out the fire in 15 hours, creating a miracle in the world fire fighting history. A total of more than 200 fire engines were dispatched on site. The total cost of the rescue was about 5000000 tons of foam. 1 of the fire fighters were killed and 1 were seriously injured. The sea surface of at least 50 square kilometers of sea area near Dalian was polluted by crude oil.
Director Chen Guohui said that 90% of the tears in the film were heard from real firefighters during the preparation period. Some audience commented: "the film restoration is still so shocking, and the real events are unimaginable. But no matter how amazing the data are, they can't depict the dangerous scene at that time, but in the face of such danger, the firefighters didn't flinch, they used their lives to protect everyone's safety, and finally put out the fire. I believe many people still have some impressions of such a major accident, but few people remember their respect for firefighters at that time.
Take off your gloves and turn off the valve
Due to the power failure caused by the fire, the valve controlled by the electronic device usually has to be manually closed. It is Jiang Liwei and his companions who are responsible for manually closing the valve. In reality, closing the valve of an oil tank is not 8000 rpm, but 80000 rpm. Some viewers doubt that it is not true that they take off their gloves in the movie.
In fact, the three firefighters at the scene really took off their gloves in order to speed up. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the three firefighters involved in closing the valve in the real '7 & middot; 16 rescue'.
The archetype of the real character Ou Hao died
The role played by Ou Hao is also archetypal. He is Zhang Liang, the leader of the remote water supply formation of the combat support brigade of Dalian detachment. In fact, he is also the only fire fighter who died in the fire fighting operation. He is only 25 years old. Originally, Zhang Liang planned to take wedding photos in a few days.
There were seaweed and garbage in the water. What's more terrible is that due to the oil leakage, it was mixed with the sea water and turned into a mire. Due to the oil pollution, it was unable to breathe on the water surface, resulting in physical exhaustion and drowning. Because the oil was too slippery, his rescue team-mates could not catch them and almost died.
It's a real fireman
In the absence of water and foam, Du Jiang, a special squadron leader led by Ma Wei Guo, was in a chemical tank farm. There was a worry in the whole squad's firefighters. As the team leader, Ma Weiguo proposed to leave a final message to his family with a mobile video: 'even if they die, they should know what we have done! '
In fact, there is also a prototype story in this play. At the scene of the 7 & middot; 16 fire, a reporter from Dalian TV station wanted to take a real picture of the front line of the fire, but he accidentally saw a fire fighter calling his wife in tears and saying 'be kind to my mother and be kind to your children'. The fireman who appears in front of the film lens is also a real retired fireman in reality. He has a partner who died in the fire. Before leaving, he also recorded a video to say goodbye to his mother, so he couldn't help crying when shooting.
I want to live to see my wife and children
When he learned that the whole city was hit by a rare huge fire, Jiang Liwei took the initiative to ask him to enter the fire center as a 'Death Squadron' and close the oil tank valve without any equipment. When Ma Weiguo asked him 'what do you think', he replied faintly: 'I just want to go out alive to see my wife and children. '
Director Chen Guohui revealed that the scene was told to them by the firefighters they interviewed. The firefighters who entered the fire scene in the real event said that the only driving force supporting them to complete the task at that time was' I have to close the valve quickly to come out alive to see my wife and children '. Chen Guohui admitted that he couldn't help crying at that time, and later decisively put the play into the film.
True dialogue there will be sacrifice in the fire fighting sooner or later
Ma Weiguo's line in the fire: "fire fighting, sooner or later there will be sacrifice! The archetypal character who said that appeared in the end of the movie "Fire Hero" is Li Jin, the former deputy chief of the Beijing fire rescue Corps. At the premiere of the film, he told the story from the rescue scene of a fire. In the fire fighting, two commanders lost contact. When they were found, they hugged and died. All the firemen at the scene cried. In order to encourage everyone to devote themselves to the next rescue work, Captain Li Jin yelled at the scene: "we don't want to see the sacrifice of the squadron leader, but sooner or later there will be sacrifice in the fire fighting! We should inherit the will of the squadron leader and do a good job! '
Director Chen Guohui also put this real segment at the end of the film. He said that as a film dedicated to firefighters, we must leave the end of the film to real firefighters and let everyone know what they have done for us.
Real scene equal proportion restore oil tank and building
Director Chen Guohui said that the vast majority of the lines and plots in the film came from the materials that the firefighters themselves said during the interview. 'these firefighters told me that they were not afraid of sacrifice. They were afraid that no one knew what they were doing. When I make this film, I want to tell the audience what they did in those years, so that we can remember these ordinary heroes. '
As a result, the film adopts live action shooting, and the huge oil tanks and the buildings burned by the fire are truly restored according to the ratio of 1:1. Chen Guohui introduces that the oil tanks are built by engineers, and some of them are real oil tank builders. Every day, the crew will have several retired firefighters on the scene to act as consultants, and will immediately adjust when there are problems.
The shooting difficulty and danger of "Fire Hero" can be imagined. Director Chen Guohui said that this kind of scene setting is very expensive every day, but we can't rely on the special effects in the later stage. "The scene of fire must be very real.". This kind of "must" is the director's dedication to the film effect, and also the insistence of the whole crew.
I hope the audience will remember the firemen
Director Chen Guohui expressed his thanks to all the creators and actors: 'thank you for letting me make this film, thank you for letting me finish this most dangerous film in the safest way, and thank all the actors, because the scene is really dangerous. Thank you for working hard for this film. '
Du Jiang, the leading actor, said: "it's right to work hard for the film, because our firefighters are working hard to protect people's lives and property. As actors, we should also devote our lives to the film. Ou Hao also said: 'firefighters are the nearest superheroes to us, because we will be at ease with them. '
"Hero of fire" made the audience cry, but the creator said with one voice that he hoped the audience would realize that although the film was wonderful, the focus should not just stay in the film itself: 'as actors, we are still alive after playing in this film, but the real firefighters may have been sacrificed. So, please forget us actors and remember our roles, because they are the real heroes. '
