"Where to Use" releases survival special Xiao Yang Qixi reproduces details of hostage escape from overseas survival restricted areas

Supervised by Ning Hao, directed by the Olympic bid, written by Xu Luyang, and starred by Xiao Yang, Qi Xi, Ren Dahua and Zheng Kai, the film "Where to Use It", produced a survival special today. The director of the Olympic bid led the creative team to dig deeply into a large number of documentaries and memoirs of survivors, and truly restore the details of the hostage escape. The restricted areas for overseas survival are constantly tested. If you escape from one level, there will be the next level! Terrorists not only rely on gold mines to accumulate wealth and purchase a large number of weapons, but also use extreme means of live broadcast and public executions to deter all parties and negotiate hostage ransom. The living conditions of the detained hostages are extremely harsh. Even if someone escapes by chance, the desert around thousands of miles is hot and waterless, and the direction is difficult to distinguish. Food and water sources are extremely scarce. The skin is festering from mosquitoes, and motorcycles are constantly tracking them day and night... How can unarmed ordinary people earn a way out of this Jedi? The entire film is specially shot by IMAX, based on the real self-rescue experiences of surviving hostages abroad, and goes deep into the war-torn hinterland to survive from the perspective of ordinary people. It will be released nationwide on December 31, New Year's Eve.

Realistically restore the details of overseas hostage escape "triple difficulties in escape" challenges physical and mental limits

The survival special focuses on the film's true restoration of the hostage's plight. The Olympic bid director and creative team watched a large number of documentaries and survivor memoirs, extracting massive details from the oral experiences of the captured hostages. The film presents the multiple challenges of hostages from being kidnapped to fleeing, and uses extremely impactful pictures to let the audience feel the struggle of ordinary people to save themselves and survive in despair. In the restricted areas for overseas survival, hostages must first survive in extreme environments. The bases where hostages are held are generally hidden deep in inaccessible deserts, and the scorching sun is extremely difficult. Ren Dahua couldn't help but sigh that "the sand is hot" here. Qi Xi said that "doing any more action will consume your physical strength." It is even more difficult for hostages to mine and migrate on foot in such an environment. There is a shortage of daily necessities and poor living conditions. The hostages cannot eat well, sleep well, and it is extremely inconvenient for them to go to the toilet. The "difficulty of survival" is the second dilemma they face. Even if they escape the base by luck, the hostages will face "escape difficulties". In order to avoid mosquitoes and sleep in the trees at night, they must always be alert to the sound of motorcycle engines coming from afar, and they must also clear their footprints along the way to hide their whereabouts. Escape in the wild also requires survival skills, such as rubbing hair with silver needles to generate static electricity, and placing them in the water to identify the north-south direction to avoid getting lost. The crew truly created these extreme environments and details just to allow the actors and the audience to experience the experience of despair and tenacity. Under this extreme test, despite the widespread despair, everyone still relied on their tenacious will and survival wisdom to complete self-rescue. The film uses documentary techniques and uses the special perspective of the hostages to tell the story of escaping the "purgatory on earth" and survival.

Ordinary people's perspective directly on the cruelty of war Extreme environments stimulate survival instincts

From "Put All Your Sole" to "Nanjing Photo Studio","ordinary people's perspective" and "real materials" have always been the creative background of the Olympic bid. "Where to Use" also narrates from the perspective of four ordinary people, including foreign journalist Ma Xiao (Xiao Yang), volunteer doctor Pan Wenjia (Qi Xi), overseas Chinese businessman Zhou Weijie (Ren Dahua), and foreign engineer Miao Feng (Zheng Kai), journalist, doctor, and engineer. These three professions represent three important elements of civilized society. The Olympic bid introduced: "Reporters represent the media, doctors represent health, and engineers represent communications." He specifically chose these three professions to create movie stories, which also represented a collision between civilized society and the brutal and violent lifestyle of extremists.

With the help of strong audio-visual language and the thrilling escape of hostages, the film exposes to the audience ordinary people on the other side of the world who are trapped in desperate situations but are still stubbornly saving themselves. Just as Ma Xiao and Pan Wenjia, who were accidentally involved in the war in the movie, talked about the self-rescue experiences of the characters in the movie, Qi Xi interpreted: "Being in such an extreme environment, your potential will really be stimulated by the greatest possibility." When Xiao Yang expressed his understanding of the role, he mentioned: "Ma Xiao actually has no so-called lofty ideals or grand goals. He only has a simple sense of responsibility to survive and protect his family." Living and escaping are the instincts of these ordinary people in the face of desperate situations. The film faces the cruel atrocities under the war and the survival challenges of ordinary people, conveying the impact of war on the lives of ordinary people. Peace will always be the common expectation of all mankind.
