Chapter 419(1/2)
With the beginning of the May Day holiday, the reputation of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" gradually fermented. The box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" began to rise sharply on the second day of its release, instantly crushing the other seven movies in the same period. The box office directly earned 11 million, second only to
Yu Feng Xiaolong's super blockbuster "Sin of the Night".
The gap has begun to gradually narrow.
The box office of "Sin Night" that day was 18 million.
Although there is still a box office difference of 7 million, anyone in the industry who knows a little bit about the situation knows that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is probably going to be a hit!
Because the film schedule rate of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is not very high. At first, it only occupied a medium level among the nine movies. However, on the second day of the release day, due to the full attendance, major theaters suddenly
Wake up, it turns out that this movie is the highlight!
So we began to adjust the plan urgently, so on the second day, the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" began to soar.
As the rehearsal rate continued to increase, the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" finally began to overtake on the third day, soaring directly from 11 million to 18 million, while the box office of "Sin of the Night" dropped slightly, only 15 million
.
So far, in just three days, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has directly overtaken it and become the biggest dark horse during the May Day holiday.
What can be seen with the naked eye is that not only the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is skyrocketing, but its reputation has also exploded instantly, spreading word of mouth among many movie fans.
Many people couldn't help but feel curious and expectant, and began to go to the cinema to watch "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Even the directors and actors of many movie producers who were released at the same time could not bear the torture in the end, and spontaneously bought a copy of "I'm Not the God of Medicine". Even if they were to die, they would have to die with the understanding that it was necessary.
"Director Feng?"
In the screening hall of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" at a movie theater in Beijing, Feng Xiaolong was wearing a cap and a mask. He had just sat down in the back row when he heard someone calling his name next to him.
He turned his head and saw an unfamiliar but extremely excited face.
"I am a commentator on People's Daily Online and a special film critic on Xinhai.com. My name is Cheng Xin. I have always been a fan of yours. I never expected to be able to sit and watch a movie with you. This is my honor."
Cheng Xin enthusiastically stretched out his hand to shake Feng Xiaolong's hand.
Feng Xiaolong, however, was not very interested. He shook his hand and said, "It's not convenient to talk while watching a movie."
"Understand, understand." Cheng Xin said quickly.
At this time, the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" begins.
The whole place became dark and quiet, and people began to watch the movie attentively.
Cheng Xin also came with a mission this time, so when the movie started, he immediately prepared a notebook and wrote down some key words in the notebook while watching the movie.
Feng Xiaolong noticed this scene and couldn't help but shake his head. There is a big difference between film critics and audiences. Audiences want immersion, but film critics need to interrupt the immersion and evaluate each actor's acting skills and the plot.
Settings, etc. will be reviewed with a penny-pinching attitude, and then I will write down my thoughts and results with my own thoughts.
In this case, how can you enjoy a movie properly?
Cheng Xin seemed to notice Feng Xiaolong's gaze, raised his head and smiled at Feng Xiaolong, lowering his voice and said: "No way, the influence of this movie is too great, beyond the imagination above, I now want to be a film critic
, I also need to write a movie viewing report for review by the superiors..."
When Feng Xiaolong remembered the identity of the other party, the commentator of "People's Daily Online" curiously asked: "Influence?"
"Yes, I estimate that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" may be a phenomenal movie. Some of the plots have been watched by the higher authorities for a long time. I didn't expect that there would be so many responses after it was released. Many people are writing to relevant departments, asking for improvements in relevant departments.
Access thresholds for medical insurance drugs, etc..."
Feng Xiaolong was thoughtful.
At this point, the movie officially begins.
The entire audience in the screening room began to watch attentively.
Cheng Xin looked up and found that the entire screening room was almost full of spectators. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was indeed a movie that could touch people's hearts.
Then, he began to look at it seriously.
Although he had done enough to overcome it in advance, when the story of the movie began to be told, Cheng Xin could not help but look moved.
[Cheng Yong, an ordinary middle-aged man who runs a health care product store, is frustrated and divorced. The arrival of the uninvited guest Lu Yiyi allows him to open up a new business of going to India to buy medicines as a "purchasing agent". Although there are many difficulties, he succeeds in this journey.
I discovered business opportunities on the "road to buying medicines" and immediately became the exclusive agent of Indian generic drugs for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia...]
"The original price of this medicine is as high as 23,500 yuan per box! Let alone ordinary people, even wealthy people cannot afford it!"
Cheng Xin entered the plot, feeling his scalp numb and horrified: "And the medicine is not included in the medical insurance and cannot be reimbursed. It will start at least 300,000 yuan a year. If our family gets leukemia, I am afraid that the result will be death..."
…”
Cheng Xin suddenly understood the positive meaning of this movie, so his brain did not stop thinking, his eyes did not stop watching, and the pen in his hand began to write down his feelings about watching the movie in a small notebook.
If this is the premise, then the cheap generic drugs that Cheng Yong went to India to introduce would of course be sold out.
[This kind of drug not only has the same therapeutic effect, but also has an extremely low price, so Cheng Yong's group began to form a small team to sell generic drugs, making a lot of money from it.
But after many twists and turns, he decided to quit, disbanded the team, and turned to the path of a formal enterprise.
But not long after, Lu Yiyi, a member of the small sales team, died of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
Because of his death, Xu Zheng was greatly stimulated, so he decided to start selling counterfeit medicines again - making no money or even losing money by selling counterfeit medicines, just to save more people's lives.
As a result, Cheng Yong was also affectionately called the God of Medicine by leukemia patients.
But the legal network is wide open and there are no omissions.
In the end, Cheng Yong was captured by the police and charged with selling counterfeit drugs.
After the majority of chronic myelogenous leukemia patients learned about this incident, they spontaneously signed a letter for Cheng Yong, praying that the court would be lenient to him...]
When he saw this, Cheng Xin couldn't stop his tears from flowing.
"He is truly a god of medicine!"
Cheng Xin raised his head and found that almost all the audiences in the cinema had tears in their eyes, and many young lovers were clinging to each other and crying.
"good movie!"
A low roar from the side attracted Cheng Xin's attention.
Only then did Cheng Xin remember that the famous commercial film director Feng Xiaolong was next to him.
At this time, Feng Xiaolong was seen sitting on the chair with his fists clenched, his eyes bright, staring at the big screen without blinking, almost completely devoted to the plot.
[The court decided to commute Cheng Yong’s sentence after considering that Cheng Yong’s violation of the law was not for his own personal gain and that he had treated many patients...]
At the end, everyone in the cinema was in tears.
Feng Xiaolong was also sad and quietly wiped away tears.
He sighed.
The biggest pain in this movie is that no one is at fault, but it turns out to be a tragedy.
The old lady's words kept swirling in Feng Xiaolong's mind: "I want to live, okay?"
It was this sentence that made Feng Xiaolong, who was originally indifferent, burst into tears instantly.
"Do you know who the screenwriter of this movie is?"
Feng Xiaolong suddenly asked Cheng Xin.
Cheng Xin quickly said: "The first screenwriter is called Vincent, who is not very well-known. He was discovered by Zheng Qian. By the way, Zheng Qian also participated in the writing of the script, so there are two screenwriters, Zheng Qian is the first
Second Screenwriter.”
"This is a good script!" Feng Xiaolong exclaimed.
With a script like this, even a director with average skills can produce a work that will make people cry.
Moreover, the whole movie is full of famous quotes. Feng Xiaolong was so impressed by the words of counterfeit drug dealer Zhang Changlin: "You can't cure this disease. There is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty."
This sentence is so true. In an era when expensive medical insurance was not universal, poverty was the original sin. Whatever you lack, don’t be short of money. Whatever you get, don’t get sick!
People only understand the importance of health when they are sick, and they understand how good it is to have money only when they need money.
"Do you know how to write it?"
After the video ended, Feng Xiaolong stood up and looked at Cheng Xin.
Cheng Xin quickly said: "I know, I already have a lot of inspiration in my mind."
"That's good." Feng Xiaolong patted the other party's shoulder: "China needs movies like this. Only when there are more and more similar movies will this society be better."
Cheng Xin nodded heavily, watched Feng Xiaolong leave, then picked up his briefcase and left quickly.
He wants to write!
Write a movie review that attracts the attention of people all over the country!
Because this film review will most likely appear on "People's Daily Online"!
Sure enough, on the fourth day after the movie was released, "People's Daily Online" published a review article on its home page: "It's been a long time since there has been such a classic Chinese movie."
The title of only fourteen words already covers everything.
The content is even more moving and amazing. Commentator Cheng Xin wrote down the sad connotation and style of the movie in a humorous way, and emphasized the social issues hidden behind the movie.
People all over the country saw it and were all moved.
