The three highlights of the release of "Where to Use" reveal the final blockbuster, the audience is immersed and moved and praised the first choice for the New Year
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 Use" was released today. It directly targeted the cruel smoke of war areas and revealed the inside story of terrorist organizations. The adventure of extreme self-rescue and escape for foreign hostages has officially begun! The film's national roadshow is ongoing. During the just-concluded roadshows in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, the main creators appeared after the screening to communicate and listen face-to-face to the audience's freshly released movie-watching experience. The thrilling escape road immersed the audience in it, shouting "I haven't looked at my mobile phone for two hours"; the ending song "Amani" also moved many viewers, lamenting that "the first half was so shocking that I couldn't speak, and Beyond's singing sounded and couldn't help but want to cry." Many viewers even certified the films as "Best New Year's Eve" and "Must-see on New Year's Day", and spontaneously recommended them to relatives and friends around them to make appointments to watch movies during the New Year's Day holiday.
Aspect 1: Really immersed, watching the movie from a first-person perspective, and experiencing the most realistic hostage self-rescue path
The movie "Where to Use" is based on the real self-rescue experience of surviving hostages abroad. Foreign journalists, volunteer doctors, overseas Chinese businessmen, foreign engineers, and several ordinary people with different identities were forced to be involved in the war due to accidents and experienced an extreme survival that ordinary people could not imagine. The inside story of the operation of a large number of extremist organizations that have never been seen on the screen, such as buying and selling hostages, kidnapping slave workers, brainwashing child soldiers, etc., has made many viewers call it "eye-opening" and "shocking the three views"; the details of self-rescue in the wilderness such as star viewing, raw snake-eating insects made the audience sigh,"I can't imagine that they can survive for a few days under this situation." At the beginning of the film's creation, the main creative team drew creative inspiration from hostage memoirs, related documentaries, real images taken by extremist organizations and other materials. The massive amount of real materials lays a solid foundation for the film's realism, and the creative ideas from the perspective of ordinary people are an important source of immersion in the film. The director's insistence on the perspective of ordinary people throughout his creation: "It doesn't have to happen around me, and it's easier for us to immerse ourselves. It is that his identity and views are closer to mine, and it is easier for us to plug in. So the characters I write usually don't start with a heroic big figure, but start with the perspective of an ordinary person." The design of the protagonist Ma Xiao continues this creative concept. The director shared during the Olympic bid road show at the Guangzhou Station: "I want to show you an anti-hero story, a escape movie without heroism. I hope his destiny will be changed by his kindness, not by his ability."
Aspect 2: It's really shocking. The crew's overseas filming actors practiced hard in foreign languages and restored the most authentic cruel war zone
If the real archetypes and details provide "software" support for the film's realism, then the hard-core creative style of the crew traveling overseas and shooting provides a "hardware" guarantee for the film's realism. The film was shot in situ in Africa, bringing the real desert exuding the smell of death to the screen. After the screening of the Olympic bid road show at Shenzhen Station, the director shared that filming in the Sahara Desert where temperatures exceed 50 degrees, in order to avoid life-threatening heat sickness, he would take a cold bath every day after returning to work to cool his internal organs. In the film, Qi Xi plays a volunteer doctor and Ren Dahua plays an overseas Chinese businessman both speak fluent foreign languages. After the screening at the Guangzhou Station Road Show, Ren Dahua shared the challenges of language: "Arabic is one of the most difficult languages in the world. Two months before filming, the director found a Tunisian Arabic teacher, and he taught me many different Arabic languages. The most difficult thing during the filming process is that no one knows what to do because we speak different languages, but through the director's command, all people with different languages and different skins can complete such a vibrant movie." Qi Xi laughed and said that seeing Ren Dahua studying language so hard, he had to "roll up" and work harder to catch up with his predecessors to better complete the performance and create the most realistic environment. Many viewers who have seen the movie praised the two men's foreign language as "completely different from having only learned it for two months", which is undoubtedly the best recognition of the actors.
Aspect 3: I am so touched."Uncle Tomato" poked his tear glands. The audience lamented that only when they saw the world would they cherish the present in front of them more
The film has previously launched a national advance screening. Many viewers were not only deeply shocked by the inside story of cruel extremist organizations and the real battlefield smoke, but also deeply touched by the emotions and concepts conveyed by the film. Miao Feng, known by netizens as the "first father of tomatoes", is one of the biggest tears in the whole film. Some viewers said,"Zheng Kai's legs are missing in the movie, and I'm missing in the movie theater." Zheng Kai, the actor of Miao Feng, expressed his gratitude to the audience for their love and "difficult feelings" at the road show in Shenzhen, and also shared his understanding of the role. Although Miao Feng had regrets, he completed his mission well. "On the surface, the seedling worker's 'place' was an engineer, but in the end he planted tomatoes to keep the hope of us China there." This power of hope, along with the tomatoes growing from landmine shells in the film, also takes root in the hearts of every audience, allowing the audience to have new thoughts on the life in front of them. The director of the Olympic bid said during the road show: "The people who harm the most are ordinary people. As the movie says, the final winners of the war are flies, and we ordinary people are the ones who suffer the most. We can sit here and watch movies now because we have a powerful country. What we are seeing now seems to be a movie, but in fact, outside of China, there is war in Israel, Gaza, including Russia and Ukraine, so the launch of this movie at this time touched us a lot." After watching the movie, many viewers also expressed that "after walking out of the theater, everything they were familiar with has a new feeling" and "it is a kind of luck to realize more deeply that we are not in a peaceful era, but in a peaceful country."
