The King of the Sky sends a special episode of "the Real protagonist".

Today, the May 1 inspirational blockbuster "King of the Sky" released the "Real protagonist" special, focusing on the silent dedication of the aviation people behind the arduous birth of our fighter planes. From "poor and white" to "everything", the development of China's aviation industry is inseparable from the sweat and blood of generations of test pilots, engineers, designers and other aviation "dreamers". And these airline people who work hard all the way and guard the blue sky of the motherland are the "protagonists" who really want to pay tribute to the film.

Prior to this, the film also invited these "real protagonists" for a special screening. Wang Ang, the "scientific research test hero" and J-8 chief test pilot, shouted "excited" after watching the film. He thought that the film truly showed the group of test pilots and was very "empathic." Zhou Guoqiang, spokesman for the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, also said that "King of the Sky" is a film that pays tribute to heroes. It pays tribute to our national heroic spirit, the heroic spirit of collectivism, and the heroic test pilot. " The film is directed by Liu Xiaoshi, written by Guanguan and Liu Xiaoshi, starring Wang Yibo, Hu Jun and Yu Shi, and specially starring Zhou Dongyu. It will meet the national audience on April 28.

In order to make Chinese-made planes fly all over the sky

Generations of pilots come forward to hold up the aviation dream one after another.

As Zhou Guoqiang said, Chinese airlines are "re-planning the aviation development of the motherland on a blank piece of paper." From the plane "flew twice" during the founding ceremony to the J-20, J-16 and other new fighter planes spread their wings in the sky, China's aviation industry has achieved great-leap-forward development. Generations of airlines have worked hard and solved difficult problems day and night, so that they have these domestic fighters flying all over the blue sky of the motherland.

The phrase "the motherland will eventually choose those who are loyal to the motherland, and the motherland will eventually remember those who contribute to the motherland" deeply poked Zhu Qian, chief engineer of the China Aviation Industry Corporation, saying, "Don't say anything." the motherland knows me "is the self-encouragement of Chinese aviation people, but also an interpretation of their love and responsibility. Screenwriter Laureate describes how he saw hundreds of workers riding electric bikes to work at the gate of the test yard. They are unknown and full of love, and are the epitome of countless Chinese airlines. Director Liu Xiaoshi shared his original intention, "I hope to shoot a story to let the audience know how difficult the progress of China's aviation equipment is, but also let everyone know that there are such a group of great and selfless people behind."

Let the behind-the-scenes hero become the protagonist

The King of the Sky makes more people know about ordinary and great test pilots.

"King of the Sky" focuses on the new era of air force test pilots for the first time, revealing the background of the birth of the latest fighter. In the film, Lei Yu (Wang Yibo) and other outstanding pilots officially become test pilots after rigorous selection. Under the leadership of captain Zhang Ting (Hu Jun), they participate in the test flight of the latest fighter plane. High in the air, they fight with death again and again in order to get the most extreme data. As the delivery date of the fighter planes approaches, the difficulty of the task gradually escalates, whether they can return triumphantly.

In order to show the working status of aviation people in an all-round way, the crew interviewed hundreds of test pilots, engineers and designers in the early story writing process to listen to the "extraordinary" stories about these "ordinary" aviation people. In ordinary days, they live a simple life, firewood, rice, oil and salt is their daily routine. But when it comes to the crunch, they always come forward. Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of Aviation knowledge, said he was deeply moved by the aviation people portrayed in the film. He thought that the film was no longer a "flattened hero", but a "full person". Heroes are also flesh and blood ordinary people, will face pressure and choices, they have more than others, but a persistence. It is because there are countless of them that we have our blue sky and the roar of sense of security.
