What is the movie - Crisis Line - about?

Currently, the movie "Crisis Line", which is currently being filmed in full swing, will be one of Andy Lau's highlights in 2023. What can this China's first aerial crime movie bring us?Today the editor will take you to talk about this movie.

The movie - Crisis Route - tells the story of international security expert Gao Haojun (played by Andy Lau) who was hijacked by thugs on the maiden flight of the A380, an extra-large luxury airliner known as the "Big Mac" in the sky.The indiscriminate shooting turned the luxury cabin into an airtight purgatory in an instant, leaving more than 800 passengers in danger.Gao Haojun stepped forward to deal with the thugs. He didn't know that the "little helper" hidden among the hostages who cooperated with him inside and outside was his blind daughter Xiaojun (played by Zhang Zifeng), thousands of meters above the sky.

1. Aerial crime movies are difficult to shoot and perform!

Although there are many domestic movie themes shot with airplanes as scenes, due to objective conditions and space limitations, it is easy to shoot low-cost movies such as comedies and mysteries that take place on airplanes, but it is quite difficult to make shocking blockbusters.Although the A380 is the world's largest wide-body passenger aircraft and can carry more than 800 passengers, it uses the aircraft as a space after all. It is impossible to carry out large-scale gun battles, long-distance chases or even explosions like the "Bomb Disposal Expert" series.scene.Precisely because the space and technical means that can be used are limited, the requirements for actor performance, plot settings and local special effects will be higher.

Due to all these factors, there is currently no movie with the theme of aerial crime in China.In the movies shot in the past, the themes with sea ships, trains and high-speed railways as the background can be shot very shockingly and richly.Only the planes are different. They cannot be filmed like a science fiction movie. They can fight on the fuselage for 300 rounds. It is also impossible to escape from the plane and parachute to the ground for a showdown... Everything can only be done with limited firepower or even fists and kicks.Only if it happens inside the aircraft can we save the lives of passengers and prevent the crisis from spreading and hurting more innocent people!

2. As the protagonist, Andy Lau is inevitably tormented by action scenes

Among the older generation of actors, Jackie Chan, who once claimed that he did not need a stunt double and had been acting for most of his life, rarely acts anymore nowadays.Andy Lau, a non-professional martial arts actor who was injured in a fall from a horse and whose physical strength is not as good as before, is still unambiguous when it comes to action scenes, but it just makes others feel distressed: the one-legged chase and close combat in The Bomb Disposer 2-;《The crowd was huge》He was slapped over and over again by Xiao Yang...

《Crisis Line》As an aerial crime movie, it cannot be supported by large-scale gun battles and explosions. The violent conflicts must be realized through action and can only be enriched by fighting scenes!It has to be said that it is a huge challenge for actors of Andy Lau's age. Who makes the audience love watching it, and Andy Lau is so serious?

In the movie, Andy Lau and Zhang Zifeng collaborated for the first time. As father and daughter, for the safety of more than 800 passengers, they fought wits and courage with the gangsters and fought desperately.In a fight scene between Andy Lau and gangsters, the filming work had been successfully completed. Unexpectedly, Andy Lau watched it again and said: They didn't beat them hard enough, and I wasn't beaten badly enough... He meant that he wanted to be beaten even harder.It's worse.As a result, everyone was so distressed that they had no choice but to shoot it again. The process was probably even more cruel than the beating in "The Lost Orphan", which made the entire crew feel extremely distressed.With Liu Tianwang and the crew working so hard, the movie - Crisis Route - should live up to expectations and be worthy of everyone's box office contribution!

3. Big production, big scenes, create aerial purgatory

It is not easy to make a purely aerial crime-themed movie, so "Crisis Route" will definitely have more interesting points and plot conflicts than "Chinese Captain", which only deals with crises.Of course, "Captain of China" can achieve a high box office of nearly 3 billion, which is inseparable from strong publicity. Therefore, the box office of "Crisis Route" also depends to a large extent on publicity and momentum. According to preliminary judgment,It should have a box office potential of 1-2 billion.In order to recreate the glory of the A380, the crew also worked hard to build a 1:1 replica of the A380 in Qingdao. This is similar to Qiu Litao's style of building a subway station when he filmed "Bomb Disposal Expert". It has to be said that Hong Kong filmmakers are very familiar with the A380.The pursuit of realism in the scene can be said to be quite diligent.

Judging from the promotional materials and known plot synopses, Crisis Route is probably slightly similar to the storyline of Titanic. In the first part, the A380 is quite luxurious, like a five-star hotel.There is room for enjoyment, but as the story develops and the appearance of gangsters slowly transforms into a terrifying hell on earth, every minute is thrilling and torturous!Although one is on the sea and the other is in the sky, they both have an inescapable cruelty!However, unlike "Titanic", because of the appearance of Andy Lau and Zhang Zifeng, "Crisis Route" must be a near-miss ending, but the excitement of the process can only wait until the movie is released.Witness it!
