June 19th.

The day before the release.

Ordinary working days.

in a design company.

A boy, Ah Wei, asked the female colleague Wan Ting next to him: "Why don't we go to a movie tomorrow?" ”

In the past half a month, the relationship between the two has been somewhat ambiguous.

Ah Wei wants to ask his female colleagues out to watch a movie together, and by the way, enhance the relationship.

The female colleague Wanting was a little shy (ω), and she tentatively asked, "What movie are we watching?" ”

"I'll check!"

As soon as Ah Wei saw that there was a play, he immediately took the initiative to check it on the Internet.

But there are quite a few movies coming out tomorrow.

As a straight man, he doesn't pick the right type.

Then he clicked on the ranking of [Movies I Want to Watch].

found that "I Am Not the God of Medicine" directed by Song Hao and "One Second" directed by Zhang Hao had the highest praise rate.

Now Ah Wei was a little confused.

Take a closer look at the introduction.

One is about medicine saving people.

One is a film screening story about turbulent times.

Ah Wei didn't know which one to choose.

[I feel like these two are not suitable for taking girls? ] 】

He even thought about simply going to a private theater and showing a casual romance movie.

But considering that the current relationship is still relatively ambiguous.

I still have to pretend to be a gentleman.

Just when he was struggling, his colleague Wanting sent him a message: [Have you chosen a movie? 】

Ah Wei replied embarrassedly: [Almost, don't worry, it must look good.] 】

Wanting: [Good~]

When he got home from work, he watched a lot of promotional videos about the two movies on the Internet.

If you want to say why only these two films were chosen, because the other movies are even less on the table.

I chose for a while.

Ah Wei finally chose "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

It's not that he is trying to support Song Hao.

Just because "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has a movie at half past ten in the evening.

When the time comes to watch the movie, you can use the excuse to say, "It's too late, don't go back".

A hit!

And online.

Some netizens are also discussing on major movie forums.

"What's the movie you're watching tomorrow?"

"yes, I'm struggling with that, too."

"What's there to worry about, go watch Director Song's "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!"

"I feel that Director Zhang's "One Second" should also be possible."

"Let's watch it together, watch two movies together."

"No, no, no, the cost is high, just choose one to watch, and wait for iQiyi to go online."

While everyone is actively discussing.

The filmmakers are also making a final effort for publicity.

Since this is the era of live streaming.

Therefore, in order to promote the movie, many celebrities choose to live broadcast their movies and shout twice.

Xu Zheng, who has never been broadcast live on Douyin, also took the initiative to connect with Wang Chuanjun and them this time, sharing the story of their filming "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

The team of "One Second" is much more official.

seems to feel that the publicity method of live broadcast is not quite in line with Director Zhang's temperament.

still keeps posting tidbits of Director Zhang being shocked by the actors.

It seems that they are all fighting for more box office for the opening of tomorrow morning.

At night.

Director Zhang soaked his feet.

Cover your eyes with a hot towel.

That's when the phone rings.

Zhang Dao nodded his hand.

Assistant Xiao Liu immediately picked up his mobile phone and reminded: "It's Director Ma's phone." ”

Director Zhang nodded.

Xiao Liu answered the phone.

I saw Ma Xiaogang on the other end of the phone and said happily: "Brother Zhang." ”

"Hey, Xiaogang?" Director Zhang put on a big brother appearance and responded.

Ma Xiaogang immediately said: "Brother Zhang, your movie will be released tomorrow, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"That Song Hao's movie is also released?"

"Hmm."

When Ma Xiaogang heard this, he pretended to sigh and said, "This kid is specially trying to catch us old people." ”

"How?" Director Zhang laughed: "Don't think people are so bad, it may just be a coincidence." ”

"How could it be a coincidence?" Ma Xiaogang immediately added fuel to the fire: "If you want me to say, that kid is young and vigorous, and he has to catch us old men when the movie is released, and he will step on it hard, Brother Zhang, this time you have to teach him a good lesson in this movie." ”

Director Zhang smiled: "Xiaogang, I said that you are in your 60s, and you are still so careful, it is a good thing that young directors have the ability, okay, okay, don't talk about this." ”

"Hey, come on, Brother Zhang, I'll go to you another day."

"Good, good."

After Director Zhang hung up the phone, he immediately changed his attitude and complained: "This gang is a miscellaneous person." ”

Then he picked up his phone and clicked on the real-time box office.

The current box office pre-sales, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and "One Second" are similar.

It didn't open much of a gap.

But judging from the number of films, "One Second" still accounts for a lot.

If tomorrow can be higher than "I Am Not the God of Medicine" at the box office.

The follow-up "One Second" was stable.

Thinking of this, Director Zhang, who has always been calm, couldn't help but get nervous.

"Xiao Liu, let's go, go to the team studio and have a look."

"Okay, Director Zhang."

The next morning.

After a lazy sleep, many netizens clicked on Taotao tickets and wanted to buy a movie theater.

But they found that the daytime tickets for "I Am Not the God of Medicine" were almost sold out.

Except for a few remote corners, no one wants.

It can be said that from the morning until late at night, there were no tickets.

"! All the tickets for the good seats are gone? ”

"What the hell."

"Really?"

"No, I didn't see everyone say they wanted to buy tickets yesterday?"

"We only have five shows a day, almost all of them are booked, and there are some remote seats I don't want to go, so let's wait for tomorrow."

"I'll teach you a method, order other movies, and then secretly go to the theater of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" to watch it, and bring your own little Maza."

Although this method is a bit unethical.

But there are people who are willing to do it.

However, there are also people who did not choose "I Am Not the God of Medicine" early in the morning of the 20th.

This is the case with Chen Yong's couple.

Both of them are Chinese teachers at school and love literature on weekdays.

I like to watch literary movies, especially Director Zhang's plays.

This time, I heard that Zhang exported a literary drama film of the turbulent era.

They booked their tickets early.

When looking at seats online, they noticed that many people had chosen their seats.

For this, their hearts are still happy.

There is a sense of identifying with one's own aesthetics.

Afterwards, they went to the theater.

"Huh? It's no one, are we coming early? Chen Yong's girlfriend asked.

"I guess so." Chen Yong explained: "When I saw that online seat selection, many people booked tickets. ”

Can be gradually.

With the opening of the movie.

The two of them found that there were only a few people in the entire theater.

It's not like the number of people in online seat selection at all.

[Is there something wrong with them? 】

"Strange."

Chen Yong didn't care too much, he felt that it was okay to do this, and it was enjoyable to watch fewer movies.

But the plot of the movie is slowly unfolding.

Chen Yong's girlfriend yawned for the first time.

He himself propped up his head, looking at the screen, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then the two glanced at each other, silently packed up their things, and left the theater.

As soon as he walked out of the theater, Chen Yong complained: "This movie is a bit out of standard." ”

"I think so." The girlfriend nodded.

At this time, the sound of a movie sounded in the theater next door.

When Chen Yong heard this, he looked at the movie ticket in his hand, and said to his girlfriend: "I've bought tickets, it shouldn't be too much to go to other movies, let's go watch other movies." ”

"Okay."

The two of them randomly chose a theater and walked in.

As soon as he walked in, he came across a seated person.

Chen Yong hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry." ”

"It's fine."

He looked down and saw someone sitting in the hallway, watching a movie with relish.

This.

Chen Yong was dumbfounded.

He then looked up at the audience in the theater and saw that it was almost full.

looked at Xu Zheng's face on the screen again.

"It's . "I Am Not the God of Medicine"? ”

At night.

Ah Wei waited for Wanting at the door of the movie theater.

He looked at the female colleague who was walking towards him and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

It's beautiful.

He regretted a little that he didn't go to the private theater.

Female colleague Wanting came over at this time and smiled: "What movie are we watching?" ”

"Let's watch "I Am Not the God of Medicine"." Ah Wei took out the movie ticket he had just taken from the ticket dispenser.

"I'm not the God of Medicine?" Wanting wondered: "What kind of movie is this?" ”

"It should be fine, it's okay, if it's really not good-looking, let's not watch it." Ah Wei said in advance.

Because he doesn't know if it's good or not.

"It's okay~ Let's take a look first."

In this way, the two walked into the late-night game.

Originally, Ah Wei thought that there were not many spectators in the late night show.

When the time comes, you can take advantage of the night to do something.

Wrap your shoulders, hold hands, or something.

If you're lucky, you'll be able to give a pop.

But as soon as he entered the theater, he was dumbfounded.

【? Why so many people? 】

He looked at the seated audience, including couples, families, middle-aged couples, and elderly people.

This. Is this a family movie?

That's not right!

Isn't this a medical-themed movie?

Ah Wei was stunned.

With apprehension, he sat down.

But Ah Wei still said in advance: "If it's not good-looking, let's go." ”

"Okay." Wanting nodded.

After a while, the movie opened.

Xu Zheng appeared on the screen.

Dressed sloppily, his eyes are blank, and the divine oil behind him looks like a black-hearted businessman.

Soon, the leukemia patient played by Wang Chuanjun found Xu Zheng.

The moment Wang Chuanjun appeared.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Because as early as half a year ago, the fraud gang Manager Lu played by him has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

As a result, now, there is no trace of Manager Lu at all.

Just a haggard, humble, helpless patient.

As the plot deepens.

Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, took money from Lu Benefit and promised to help him buy it on his behalf.

Now.

The big guys were speechless.

"No, why do you still take the money of cancer patients in advance."

"I still don't understand why Director Song wants to shoot such a protagonist character."

"yes, it's risky to do that, but."

"Director Song shouldn't leave the promotional film, right?"

In the theater, some viewers began to discuss.

They feel that with Xu Zheng's character and the previous content, it is definitely not as good as the promotional films of "Operation Mekong".

Some are even planning to leave.

Ah Wei also began to complain: "Doesn't this movie feel very interesting?" ”

But Wanting didn't speak, and looked seriously.

It seems that something is beginning to be hidden in my heart.

The plot is still playing out.

Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, began to print drugs in large quantities and sold them to more and more patients, and everyone made a lot of money.

The priest, Huang Mao, the pole dancer, and Lu benefited from this medicine, and they were all able to save lives, but also make the economy a lot better.

This also made the audience more and more incomprehensible.

"No, this Director Song was made into a comedy, right?"

"Huh? What the hell. ”

"Using patients to make comedy, Song Hao won't think he's humorous, right?"

"Didn't he say it was a realistic movie?"

It wasn't until later that the protagonist Cheng Yong began to play with the idea of Sihui, a pole dancer.

I want to go home with her.

And Sihui also understands that once she disagrees, then her daughter will have no medicine and she will have no source of income.

In order to save her daughter, she could only take Cheng Yong home.

was even worried that he would wake up his daughter, so he took the initiative to help Cheng Yong undress.

This scene uses other people's handles to coerce the plot, which makes everyone even more puzzled.

"Director Song has really changed, filming this kind of plot."

"Isn't this the villain's ambition?"

"I'm speechless, it's clear that the protagonists of Director Song's movies before were Gao Weizheng, why are they so obscene now?"

"I don't want to see it."

When Ah Wei saw this, he thought that this should be a more exciting plot.

It is estimated that there will be a scene of cannon fighting.

When the time comes, he can take Wanting's hand.

But it turned out to be.

Cheng Yong on the screen finally adhered to morality and did not take advantage of the danger.

This plot also calmed everyone's mood a little.

Originally, everyone thought that this would be a comedy, but slowly, their business went wrong, and Cheng Yong was furious when he was having dinner.

"I'm a god oil! Can I manage so many people? I'm going to be caught in it, what are they going to do? ”

As soon as this scene came out, everyone realized that the sad plot had just been staged.

In particular, some girls shed tears when they saw the scene of Lu Yingying trying to please Xu Zheng.

There's nothing wrong with them, they want to live.

Cheng Yong is not wrong, he is afraid of being arrested.

And Ah Wei didn't think so, he turned his head and asked Wanting on the side: "Tingting, or let's not watch it, you see it's too late, or."

Wanting said directly: "No, I want to finish reading." ”

When she said this, she still had a crying tone in her tone.

in the movie.

Since Cheng Yong stopped selling drugs, he opened a factory.

But when he came to the hospital again and saw Lu Ying, whose face was pale and his hair was thinning, he was shocked.

When the doctor helped Lu benefit from debridement, the painful shouts pierced Cheng Yong one after another.

He closed his eyes and began to shake inside.

Until Lao Lu was overwhelmed by the burden of his body and chose to hang himself.

This scene completely released the tear ducts of the audience.

At this time, Wanting kept crying, crying very sadly.

Ah Wei on the side didn't know why she was crying so sadly.

Later, he remembered one thing, that is, on Wanting's work desk, there was a photo of her and her mother.

Her mother seems to have committed suicide by jumping into the river because of pancreatic cancer three years ago, unwilling to drag down her family.
