Chapter 432: There Is Only One Disease in This World
Lu Lin has always felt that the movie "God of Medicine" is very good in terms of editing and rhythm. His "storytelling" skills are much better than those of big directors like Zhang Yimu and Chen Kaige, who are obsessed with "picture beauty".
Of course, it may also be that people disdain the level of "storytelling", but Lu Lin appreciates it very much. This is also one of the reasons why he finally asked Wen Muyu to direct the movie.
At the beginning of the film, the first two minutes said that the protagonist Cheng Yong looked decadent and couldn't pay the rent, and fell into a career crisis, because the magic oil is not as good as viagra.
In the second two minutes, he went to a nursing home to see his father who needed to be taken care of, laying the groundwork for a serious illness later.
The third two minutes talk about him and his son, bringing in the ex-wife played by Wan Qian. Fight for custody issues.
Fourth......
In the eight minutes before Lu Ying's appearance, the "protagonist's dilemma" was explained very clearly, and if it was put on the Internet, it would be time to talk about "Goldfinger". In the film, it is a turning point that changes fate.
Cheng Yong rejected Lu Yingying, he was afraid that he would be caught for smuggling. From the perspective of the story's brilliance, "hitting it off" doesn't seem to have enough twists and turns, so there must be a force to push the plot forward.
The father was critically ill and hospitalized, the store was locked by the landlord, and he needed money, cutting off his financial resources, and driving a middle-aged man to a dead end.
Cheng Yong decided to take a risk, found the generic drug factory, and exclaimed, "Five hundred, didn't you say two thousand?"
Translation: "That's the retail price at the pharmacy!"
"Then you tell them, I'm going to buy some!"
"They only ship to agents!"
……
"Why should he trust you?"
"There are many patients in China, they can't afford to take genuine medicine, they just wait for me to bring the medicine back and save their lives!" Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, explained to the owner of the pharmaceutical factory very seriously, trying to get an agent in China.
The owner of the pharmaceutical factory laughed, "So you want to be a savior?"
Xu Zheng laughed, "I don't want to be a savior, I want to make money, you tell him that this medicine will have a big market in China, because there are many patients who need this to save their lives, and life is money!"
Translation: "...... life is money!”
The students and media reporters at the scene were shocked to hear such true and naked words.
"I'll go, this can pass the trial!"
"Director Lu is very powerful!"
"Just rush this line, this scale, the movie should be good!"
……
The plot continues, there is no sadism, but a funny dialogue between Xu Zheng and an Indian smuggler, which makes the audience feel a little depressed and soothed.
Cheng Yong returned to China and sold medicine with Lu Yingying, played by Wang Chuanjun. However, everything was difficult at the beginning, the two recklessly sold to patients, and they were not trusted at all, and finally found Liu Sihui played by Tan Bang.
In the bar, Cheng Yong looked at the beautiful woman dancing with a sexy pole dance on the stage, and said in surprise: "What kind of patient is she like this?"
"She's not, her daughter is!"
With the help of Liu Sihui, the leader of the patient group, Cheng Yong's sales network was built, and Lu Yingying, Liu Sihui, pastor, and Peng Hao (Huang Mao) were also brought together to form a sales group.
At the same time, the Swiss Nova company also began to report the case to the police, and the police officer who took over the case was Cheng Yong's brother-in-law, which couldn't help but make the audience's hearts hang.
The "drug trafficking gang" engaged in team building and came to the bar where Liu Sihui worked, and the bar manager asked Liu Sihui to dance while drinking.
Cheng Yong, who was a little floating, scolded the manager, "She is a guest today, what kind of dance is she dancing?"
"Who do you think he doesn't jump?"
"You're jumping!"
……
"Bad money, right, jump or not, can you jump? Jump or not?" Cheng Yong threw out three stacks of red bills.
The manager had a hesitant expression and said ruthlessly, "You wait for me!"
The camera turned again, and the person was on the high platform, dancing a striptease. The huge contrast between before and after makes it the biggest laugh in this film. I have to say that the jump is quite good.
Everyone in the audience shouted "take off", and Liu Sihui, played by Tan Bang, laughed very happily, waving her hand and shouting, "Take off, take off your pants!"
After the hysteria, the dappled lights of the bar shone on her calm face, which made people feel a little sad.
"This actress is so good!"
"It feels so real!"
……
Out of the bar, Cheng Yong repeatedly asked to send Liu Sihui home, and he obviously had something strange in mind when he was divorced in middle age.
When Liu Sihui went to take a bath, she took off her clothes very much. As a result, I saw a little girl standing at the door, looking at him very silently.
Cheng Yong left, although Liu Sihui was very active, and even afraid that Cheng Yong would not be able to let go, so he proposed to go downstairs to open a room.
Regarding this paragraph, the reason for Cheng Yong's departure made many people talk in low voices.
"I feel guilty, Cheng Yong is fine!"
"Not necessarily, don't you think that little girl's reaction is too bland?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's commonplace, otherwise an ordinary child, when he sees an extra man in his mother's room at night, what do you think should be the reaction?"
"I'll go, you're over-interpreting, aren't you?"
The plot continues on the screen, the atmosphere is getting heavier and heavier, the police investigation is tight, the patient has an accident, and a fake drug dealer Zhang Changlin has emerged. After a big battle, the "drug selling team" entered the police station, and Cheng Yong asked the police about the sentencing standards for selling counterfeit drugs.
Zhang Changlin came, coerced and enticed Cheng Yong to give up his agency, but Cheng Yong refused. Later, when the goods were purchased, they were almost caught by the police. Zhang Changlin reported and reminded, which made Cheng Yong feel dangerous.
This medicine really can't be sold!
On a rainy night, the "drug selling gang" was eating hot pot in the store, Cheng Yong announced that the channel was given to Zhang Changlin, and the team was disbanded, and everyone was puzzled.
Tan Bang: "You don't know how many people he hurt by selling fake medicines?"
"His medicine is paracetamol with some flour and eats the ...... of the undead."
Huang Mao: "Do you say that's human talk?"
"Why isn't it human?"
"Isn't he harming people by cheating patients out of money?"
Pastor: "He's going to hell!"
Huang Mao: "How much money did he give you?"
"It's not a matter of money, don't you know how many years you will be sentenced to selling counterfeit medicines?"
Huang Mao: "Then you will push the patient to the counterfeit drug dealer?"
"What about pushing it to him, the medicine hasn't been broken, it's just a little more expensive......"
"A lot of people can't even afford to eat 5,000 yuan a bottle, you know?"
"Then what the hell does it matter to me? I'm a god oil seller, do I manage so many people? I'm so old and young, what should they do if they are caught? Besides, it's not that I'm desperate to bring the medicine back? You can have all the special thanks for today, I'm not a leukemia patient!"
Xu Zheng's explosion in this section is very good, the drama is full of tension, and the people watching it are thrilling.
"I thank you and wish you a bigger magic oil store!"
Huang Mao poured himself a beer, got up and drank it all, and then smashed the hand holding the cup on the table. When he spread it out again, his hands were covered in blood and shards of glass. Turn around and head out into the rainy night!
