This is because at airports, whether pilots or crew members, they are required to use the same language when communicating with air traffic control to prevent safety hazards caused by miscommunication.

Regardless of their native language, all captains must learn aviation English.

Aviation English is a distinct language, quite different from the English spoken by ordinary people.

Aviation English is also known as a "code language".

Commonly used flight terms include

Approach: Approaching the stage.

Mayday: This is something no one wants to hear. It's a distress signal. When saying this term, the pilot has to say it three times on the radio.

"Zhang Ze, tell me what to say when encountering a Mayday-level emergency that is not life-threatening?"

Zhang Ze, who was listening attentively to the lecture, was suddenly called on.

It gave him the illusion of being back in high school!

"How many years has it been since I was called on by a teacher? Those damn days of youth are gone forever!"

Without a second thought, Zhang Ze answered earnestly, "pan-pan, pan-pan, pan-pan."

"Very good! It seems you were paying attention in class and didn't get distracted!"

Instructor Zhang made a joke with a smile.

"Zhang Hanyu, what would you say if you received a message but didn't necessarily follow it?"

Zhang Hanyu slowly stood up from the stool and said hesitantly, "Roger!"

While the three were learning about flight knowledge, Yuan Quan, Li Qin, Zhang Tianai, and Yang Ying were also learning about flight attendant knowledge not far away.

Being a flight attendant is not just about having a dignified and beautiful appearance and showing eight teeth when you smile.

They also need to learn aviation English, aviation medical theory, emergency medical skills, slide drills, and how to open and close cabin doors, among other things.

These are all things that require a lot of effort to learn, and there are also time constraints.

It was only then that they realized how much hardship flight attendants had to endure behind their glamorous lives.

After class at noon, a few people gathered together to eat in the cafeteria.

Putting everything else aside, the cafeteria here is quite good; the food is plentiful and tastes great.

Zhang Ze asked the women, "How's your learning going?"

"It was really tough. This whole morning of optics theory completely baffled me!" Zhang Tianai laughed and shook her head, complaining.

"I feel like that aviation medical theory is going to be very difficult! There are so many things to memorize!" Li Qin craned her neck to look at Zhang Tianai.

"We're all in the same boat! We're just as exhausted after a whole morning!" Ou Hao said in agreement.

"Thankfully, we're going into the simulation lab this afternoon! I prefer hands-on practice to theory!" Zhang Ze is really looking forward to entering the simulation lab!

After lunch, the group returned to their dormitory to rest.

The dormitory is very simple, just like a typical university dormitory. It contains four steel-framed beds, with a desk underneath and the beds on top.

"Hehe, it's been so many years since I slept in a bunk bed like this! I really miss it!" Zhang Hanyu said with a pat on the back.

"Brother Han, which bed do you sleep in?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Anywhere is fine with me, it's all top bunk, there's not much difference!"

"No way! You pick one. If you don't, neither Ou Hao nor I can sleep."

"Then I'll sleep in this bed!" Zhang Hanyu pointed to the bed closest to the balcony.

The three of them took a nap in bed, and at 2 p.m. they arrived at the simulation training base together.

Upon entering the room and climbing onto a high platform, you'll see a simulation pod opposite you.

It's square-shaped, with many hydraulic supports underneath, and two very thick pipes.

In the afternoon, the instructor for the three of them was changed again. This instructor looked a bit strict, and the three of them behaved themselves and didn't say much.

"The three of you come with me to the simulation chamber to take a look!"

As soon as Zhang Ze stepped inside, he noticed that countless buttons were flashing.

It looks very mysterious!

He had never seen so many buttons before.

"This simulator is exactly the same as an airplane cockpit. I'll explain the function of all these buttons later, so listen carefully!"

"Coach, could you fly it once so we can experience it?" Ou Hao suggested somewhat shyly.

"Sure, I'll take you flying around in a bit!"

Next, just listening to the buttons confused all three of them.

But there's no rush. We'll figure it out in three months.

One hour later, the instructor turned on the machine.

Suddenly, the windows around us lit up and turned into screens displaying a very realistic airport environment.

It feels like you're actually in an airport; the runway and the blue sky and white clouds in the distance are all real images.

As the instructor pushed the forward stick forward, the aircraft felt itself slowly gliding forward.

The speed increased rapidly, the scenery outside the window rushed past, and you could even hear the wind.

"It's so realistic!" Zhang Hanyu exclaimed.

"It's almost like playing a game, it seems pretty fun!" Ou Hao said with some surprise.

As the instructor pulled them into his arms, the plane began to lift up, and the three of them were jolted and quickly steadied themselves.

The 5D simulation experience provides a very realistic flight simulation for three people.

"I think flying a plane is pretty simple!" Ou Hao, being young, spoke quite frankly.

"You think this is easy? I'll let you fly it once in a bit!" the instructor chuckled.

The next moment, Ou Hao sat in the cockpit. He had only been in the air for a minute when he looked up and felt the plane swaying from side to side!

"Stop shaking! Pull it up quickly!" Zhang Ze and the other man stood anxiously by.

"I wasn't shaking! I just couldn't control it!" Ou Hao yelled.

"Ding ding..." An alarm sounded, and the plane crashed, resulting in a fatal crash!

This time Ou Hao behaved himself. Later, Zhang Ze and Zhang Hanyu also tried it, and it still ended in a plane crash!

It looks simple; the three of them flew in one air and remained completely silent!

In the blink of an eye, they had been studying at the training center for a week.

I got to know the coach and we often chatted after class.

Three gossipy men pulled the coach aside and asked about the captain's salary.

"Coach, can you tell us how much a captain earns per month?"

"This has a lot to do with the type of aircraft he flies and the length of his flight! A newly hired first officer earns around 20,000 a month! A captain, on the other hand, starts at 50,000 to 60,000!"

"What's the maximum monthly salary a captain can earn?"

"In the range of 20 to 30!" the coach said with a smile, giving them a vague answer.

"So, that means a captain can easily earn 200 million a year, right?"

"Most are cargo planes! Fewer are passenger planes, but they're still around 150!"

"What about the flight attendants?" the three asked again.

"For flight attendants, the salary is generally around 15,000, while for chief flight attendants it is a bit higher, approaching 20,000."

"When I was in high school, I really wanted to be a pilot. I thought pilots were so cool!"

Ou Hao sat there and sighed.

"Then why didn't you become a pilot?" Zhang Ze asked.

"It didn't work!" He covered his face shyly.

Zhang Ze said seriously, "I'm different from you. When I was in high school, I just wanted to marry a flight attendant when I grew up!"

"Ha ha!!"

"Haha, it's the same, I've thought about it too!" The coach gave him a knowing look.

Four grown men were laughing heartily in the classroom.

"By the way, Coach, what does your girlfriend do? Is she a flight attendant?"

"She's a flight attendant, my target is now a chief flight attendant!"

"She really is a flight attendant! You've fulfilled most men's dreams—a captain marrying a flight attendant, life is perfect!"

The coach gave a shy smile.

The following study time passed quickly. Zhang Ze and the other two spent their mornings learning theoretical knowledge and their afternoons simulating practical operations.

Afterwards, I also learned about airline regulations and knowledge of radio and other related fields.

This flight training opened up a very interesting field for Zhang Ze.

He's become addicted to learning how to fly a plane.

He plans to get a pilot's license himself when he has time.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Zhang Ze and two others were undergoing driving tests in the simulator.

In just three months, the three of them were no longer the complete novices they were a few months ago.

By this time, he had a wealth of flight knowledge in his mind, and his demeanor and tone were just like those of a commercial airline captain.

Each person gets no less than 200 driving simulations in the simulator alone.

With the plane landing smoothly, the three men's assessment was considered complete.

"If you three continue your studies for a while longer, we'll be able to issue you driver's licenses!" the director of the training center said with a smile.

"Really? Then let's study for another two months and try to get our driver's licenses so we can fly planes!" Zhang Ze jokingly sat back in the driver's seat, indicating that he wasn't going anywhere.

"Ha ha!!"

Returning to Yanjing from Chengdu,

When Zeng Lai saw Zhang Ze return home, he smiled and, imitating a flight attendant, said, "Welcome home, Captain Zhang!"

"Haha!" Zhang Ze laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You'd look so good in a flight attendant uniform!"

He whispered something in Zeng Lai's ear and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Pah! You pervert, haven't you had enough of looking at flight attendants in the past three months?"

Zeng Lai hit him.

"None of them are as pretty as my wife!"

Zhang Ze put his arm around Zeng Lai's waist and spoke to her sweetly, making Zeng Lai very happy.

"Hmph! You know how to talk!"

At night, in the bedroom,

The two embraced and shared a passionate kiss.

Soon the pajamas fell to the floor...

The author wanted to see what was going on and record it for the readers!

That shameless Zhang Ze suddenly got up and drew the curtains!

Sigh, I guess I'll have to do it next time!

……

after an hour……

The couple lay on the edge of the bed, and Zhang Ze showed Zeng Lai his makeup photos on his phone.

He was tall and slender, wearing a handsome captain's uniform and exuding a refined air.

"How is it? Isn't your man handsome?"

"So cool!"

"Isn't he more handsome than Liu Ye?"

"Hmm! They each have their advantages! He seems more mature, and you seem younger!"

Zeng Lai nestled in his arms and answered with a smile.

Last year, she collaborated with Liu Ye on a TV series called "Old Boy," in which Liu Ye played a civil aviation captain.

She made a cameo appearance as Liu Ye's wife in one episode; she was also a flight attendant.

Unexpectedly, this little man actually got jealous and secretly started comparing himself to her!

"I'm not only young, I also have... energy..." Zhang Ze whispered in Zeng Lai's ear with a mischievous grin on his face.

"Ah... let go... it hurts~" The handle was caught, and he was completely subdued by Zeng Ling.

The TV series "Old Boys" was released in March of this year.

She only appeared in one episode of the entire TV series, for less than 10 minutes.

Her flight attendant look, with its capable, elegant, dignified, and mature image, captivated many viewers and became a highlight of the show.

After staying at home for a week, I returned to Chengdu.

On New Year's Day, the crew of "The Captain" officially started filming.

On a closed section of road, several RVs were parked around.

The road was crowded with film crew members, about three or four hundred people.

A large square platform, five meters long and three meters wide, was placed in the middle of the road.

A cauldron was placed in the center of the platform, surrounded by offerings.

Director Andrew Lau is from Hong Kong and places great importance on the incense offering ceremony at the start of filming.

The entire crew held three incense sticks and bowed respectfully to offer them.

The drone hovered in mid-air, capturing the scene and creating quite a spectacle.

After offering incense, the director and producer began distributing red envelopes to everyone in the crew to mark the start of filming.

After receiving the red envelopes, many actors happily opened them and took a look.

Director Liu was indeed generous, putting 88 yuan in each red envelope for good luck.

Although the amount of money wasn't much, it made all the staff happy.

With over 300 people present, this amount of money for each person represents a considerable expense.

This shows that the production team is very generous, and working with them will be much more comfortable in the future.

There is no fixed amount for the opening bonus of a film crew; it all depends on whether the crew has sufficient funds and whether the production company is generous.

Some wealthy film crews will slip in 100 yuan, while others will put in auspicious numbers like 88 or 66.

Even poor production crews with limited funds sometimes pay 50 yuan, 20 yuan, or even 5 yuan!

The most outrageous film crew Zhang Ze had ever worked with was a 2-yuan lottery ticket for each person in the opening bonus.

It is said that out of more than 200 people in the entire crew, only a few won 5 yuan, while the others didn't see a penny.

That's absolutely outrageous!

The producer who made the lottery ticket purchase video has been ridiculed by many. What kind of karma did he create?

The film crew held a start-up banquet that evening, and everyone had a great time.

When they got really drunk, director Andrew Lau led Zhang Ze and Ou Hao in a group sing-along of the classic Young and Dangerous song "The Years Have Feelings".

This song is the theme song for the movie "Young and Dangerous" directed by Andrew Lau.

"There's always joy in sharing hardships."

I don't believe I'll despair, and I don't feel hesitant.

Compete in your dreams and strive every day

"Amidst the hustle and bustle of life, an untamed state of waking and intoxication..."

The three of them spoke Cantonese quite well and sang with great enthusiasm.

Dozens of crew members surrounded them, recording them with their phones.

This wasn't the first time he and Andrew Lau had collaborated; Lau directed the film "The Founding of an Army."

The two are collaborating again, so they are naturally very familiar with each other's personalities.

After daybreak, accompanied by his assistant, he arrived at Chengdu International Airport.

The film crew is shooting scenes here today.

When Zhang Ze got out of the car, he was surrounded by fans.

"Ah~ Zhang Ze"

I love you, Zhang Ze.

The fans were all recording with their phones. They waved and said hello before walking into the airport.
