A person's fate depends not only on personal struggle, but also on the historical process. When I watched the flesh and blood in the cinema, what came out of my heart were the words of a certain male god who spread the word all over the world. Director Lin Chaoxian may have never thought that he would make a military film comparable to "Black Hawk Down" before this film. Looking at his resume, it is not difficult to see that he has always been in the frame of police and gangster films, and has never had experience in military films. Even the widely acclaimed "Operation Mekong" is just a kind of police and gangster films. In his impression, if two hundred police officers can be dispatched to make a film in Hong Kong, it is already a huge scene. As for the bombing of tanks, Humvees, helicopters, and missile frigates in turn, air dispatching and warship setting are even more unthinkable. If the time goes back to 2008, when he was still filming "The Witness", and you told him that you would make a "Black Hawk Down" in the future, he would probably just laugh and greet you silently in his heart. A sentence "If you are sick, see a veterinarian!" Because the shooting of military films not only tests the level of the film industry, but also the comprehensive national strength of the country. The first thing to do is to invest. The investment in military films is the top in the film industry. Only a market with a box office of several billions per film can support the investment of up to 500 million yuan. The explosion of the mainland film market is the basic condition for the production of this film. Moreover, the investment of 500 million yuan is only the foundation, and it does not count the money for the military to use advanced equipment such as warships and drones. The next thing to solve is the military temperament and military equipment. Only with a strong army as the backing support can you shoot the best military equipment and military tactics. Otherwise, no matter how you shoot, you can only stop when you encounter a mechanized army with only pickups and AKs. Besides, a lot of equipment and lenses are not a problem that money can solve at all. Whether the top equipment is open or not depends entirely on the relationship. If it is not owned by the country, it is difficult to borrow it. Finally, there is the issue of military material. The truly shocking military films are all based on real events, and the stories made up by any screenwriter are inferior to the real world, which is determined by the extreme cruel beauty unique to military films. No matter how professional a screenwriter is, his imagination will be eclipsed in the face of real bullets. Cen Shen Gao Shi's heroic and magnificent frontier poems can only be produced under the stimulation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty's martial arts. Without all the real stories and details accumulated by the navy to protect and evacuate overseas Chinese many times, director Lin, even if he is a genius, would not have achieved such an achievement. Behind every good military film that makes you nervous, roaring, boiling, crazy to the point of brain roaring, dry mouth, and adrenaline rushing, there is a vigorous army and country standing in all directions, you love him and hate him, But just can't ignore him. I have already thought about it for Director Lin, and he will just say this in the future - "I am a director of Hong Kong filming police and gangster films, why did I go to the mainland to make military films?"
