Most movies, usually not with just one element, are a mix of elements.

Commercial films, in particular, should be more watchable.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is a tearful film, but it does not hinder the comedy elements in it.

However, you can't add it casually, it's basically concentrated in the first half, and it's not good to suddenly have a funny plot in the second half, which will ruin the overall atmosphere.

The laughter in the first half is more to show the shortcomings of the entire medical system and the life plight of the critical and chronic patient group in front of the audience.

Cheng Yong has lived like that, his middle-aged wife is separated, he has nothing to do all day long, and he has a sick father, he can still laugh.

Even if he didn't see the hope of making a fortune this time before he came to Yindu, he was happy when he ate and bathed with his son before.

Tragic stories also need laughter, and they need a place where the audience can relax, otherwise they will be too tired.

This scene full of laughter by the sea is to make the audience relax and relax, and it also shows how relaxed Cheng Yong's mood is at this time.

Before that, the only time for this character to relax was to spend time with his son.

At the beginning, when the innkeeper next door said that his magic oil was useless, in the case of Cheng Yong, it was actually normal to open two yellow sentences and ridicule the innkeeper.

However, after Li Qian pondered about it, he still didn't add it and suppressed it.

This kind of film needs jokes and humor, but it is not added casually, every joke is combined with the plot and character changes.

It's not a funny movie, it's funny for the sake of being funny.

While relaxing the audience, the filming crew in the afternoon was also very happy, even if they just watched Xu Zheng and Yindu actors play, they were all happy.

"Ahem... Click!"

Li Qian coughed lightly, tried not to let himself laugh, and raised the walkie-talkie, "Brother Zheng, your head-shaking action is a little more funny, don't move your body, relax and relax." ”

This section is not so easy to shoot, it is a little different from Xu Zheng's previous comedy style, I have been looking for a feeling, and it is always a little worse.

And Li Qian, who was in front of the monitor, had been holding back his laughter, shaking his head with the other party, and laughing while scolding was too funny.

may not have rested well, and the filming started without sleeping all the way, and the scene of less than 30 seconds at the beach was filmed for a whole afternoon.

"Okay, call it a day, hurry up and clean up and go back to the hotel"

Li Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone in the crew, as well as Xu Zheng, also breathed a sigh of relief.

......

At about half past six, Li Qian and the crew returned to the hotel, a Chinese hotel near the embassy area, the New Delhi Inn.

No one had a good rest, arriving in New Delhi at half past two, going to bed at three o'clock, and getting up before six o'clock.

At the dinner table, Xu Zheng, who was tired all day, ate in a big gulp, poured a big sip of water, and sighed, "It's still our authentic Chinese food, the curry rice I ate at noon is really unappetizing." ”

"I really didn't think about this, so I'll contact the hotel and see if they can provide a boxed lunch. ”

I really didn't think about food before, I used to find a random local restaurant for filming, but when I went abroad, most people couldn't get used to eating Yindu cuisine.

Especially when filming on the street, the stall where the roadside vendor cooks food is called dirty, and he uses his hands all the time.

Although this is a local habit, and it is not easy to despise others, it is really unacceptable.

This hotel is run by Chinese, and many of these Chinese hotels in the embassy district are opened by Chinese-funded enterprises in their offices in New Delhi, specializing in serving Chinese people who come to India on business trips.

$50 for a single room, including three meals authentic Chinese food, with Internet, is a very high standard for the crew, 300 yuan a night.

The room is not small, it is no problem to live two or three people in a room, and it doesn't cost much for a week's shooting.

They were all hungry, and quickly swept up the food, Xu Zheng leaned back in his chair and picked his teeth with a toothpick.

Li Qian said with a smile, "Brother Zheng, if you are a little more arrogant in your teeth-picking action, it will be Cheng Yong himself." ”

Xu Zheng smiled, "Be civilized." ”

"By the way, Director Li, how did you come up with this scene on the beach this afternoon, I can now imagine the laughter of the audience in the cinema, it's amazing. ”

"It's just a flash of inspiration, this scene is the beginning of Cheng Yong's changes, even if he was slashed by the Indians and added money, he was not reluctant at all, but he was very happy, so that's it. Li Qian said.

"The main thing is that you act well, mix and match Chinese and English, say no, no, no... It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous, the tongue is hot and the mouth stutters like the real thing. ”

"I really stammered. Xu Zheng said helplessly, "I don't feel much when I look at the text on the script, when I really shoot, this line is really amazing, Director Li, your comedy skills are so strong, it's a pity not to make comedy, you can definitely laugh a lot of people." ”

"Comedy is not easy to make, especially popular comedy, it is even more difficult, and it is too difficult to make it a classic. Li Qian said.

Xu Zheng smiled, "This scene is so funny, I really look forward to Director Li making a comedy, how funny the whole movie must be." ”

"Maybe, maybe when you want to have fun, happy and happy. Li Qian smiled.

......

Just flew to Yindu, slept for two or three hours and filmed for a day, and the next day Li Qian asked the crew to have a good rest, recuperate their spirits, and start filming in the afternoon.

is still an exterior scene, this time it was a different street, and it was the plot of Cheng Yong's second visit to Yindu.

chose to shoot in the afternoon, and when the crew was ready, it was estimated that it would be five or six o'clock, close to evening.

At dusk, it also coincided with the plot of the movie at that time, and Lu Ying's life came to an end.

"Be careful, let them all be careful, such a big fog. ”

"Ahem..."

Li Qian stared around the street from the side of the road, almost choking as he spoke.

Near evening, there are people spraying thick fog on the street, which is insect smoke, after all, Indu is a tropical country, there are many mosquitoes, and the streets and alleys will be dewormed in the season.

"Ahem... Top dog. ”

Wen Muye covered his nose and trotted all the way to Li Qian's side.

"What's wrong?" asked Li Qian.

"Boss, haven't you ever been to Yindu, aren't you familiar with this side, how do you know that Yindu will be a large-scale insect dewormer?" Wen Muye puzzled, the original script of this plot was there, and it was obvious that it was not added after coming to Yindu that he only knew that there was this custom here.

"Have you heard of "Me and You"?" Li Qian asked rhetorically.

"I've heard that, I'm heart-to-heart with you. ”

"Who's heart-to-heart with you. ”

Li Qian looked evil, "I'm talking about living in the same global village, the earth is one village, can you still know about the things in the village?"

At that time, our national government suspended Yindu's inbound flights to China for epidemic prevention considerations, so Cheng Yong could not return to China in time after buying medicine, which also indirectly led to the further deterioration of Lu Ying's condition and finally ended his life. ”

"The boss is really thoughtful. Wen Muye sighed.

"Also, is there any difference between the scene you looked at and the street we photographed yesterday?" asked Li Qian, pointing to the foggy streets around him.

Wen Muye thought for a while, "It's evening again, there is a feeling of lack of life in the fog, yesterday we were shooting in the morning, the beginning of a new day, the sun is shining, it means hope?"

"Not bad. Li Qian nodded, "It's a comparison, although yesterday's Yindu streets were backward and dilapidated, but people performed their duties, the streets were also lively, and the children were full of laughter, but now the streets are depressed, in comparison, yesterday Cheng Yong's disgusted Yindu streets, but paradise, is heaven, here is hell." ”

Wen Muye listened carefully, taking notes in his heart, as if he was a studious person like Guo Fan.

However, when he heard Li Qian's analogy, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Hell... Boss, your metaphor is really strange. ”

"It's hell!"

Li Qian said as a matter of course, "Not only is it a comparison, but this scene is also to show the atmosphere of death and decay, and it is also to tell the audience that since then, the plot has no longer laughed and laughed, and it began to turn to gloom and death, and Lu Yingyi and Huang Mao died one after another." ”

"By the way, why does it feel almost meaningful?"

Li Qian said and pondered, he was very satisfied with this scene, according to his thoughts, this scene was enough to be called art.

However, when it comes to death and decay, it always feels like something is missing.

"Give me the storyboard. ”

"Oh, good. ”

Wen Muye paused for a moment, and immediately turned the storyboard script he was carrying to this page and handed it to Li Qian.

Looking at the drawing board on the storyboard script, one scene after another appeared in his mind, Li Qian pondered in his heart.

"Death... Death..."

I always felt that something was missing, and I looked at the street again, and several people were spraying smoke along the street.

"Insect spray..."

"That's right!"

Li Qian's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he said loudly, "I said, it's just less death." ”

This chatter shouted again, and Wen Muye was startled, "What's the boss?"

"There's less death, go get some mosquitoes or something, and I'll add a close-up of the mosquitoes being killed later." ”

"But how do you get mosquitoes?" can fly?"

Li Qian waved his hand, "Just get more, it's enough to capture a close-up, mobilize the surrounding Yindu people, collect mosquitoes, and live!"

"Oh good. ”

Mosquito collection... Wen Muye took the order in a daze, and it didn't take long for the streets to be lively.

Someone actually spent money to buy mosquitoes, this thing can be seen everywhere, and the lively Yindu people immediately became a sensation, which is similar to picking up money.

......

At half past five in the afternoon, the crew who were ready continued the filming of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" for a new day.

Compared with yesterday, Xu Zheng has changed his makeup.

The original messy medium-long hair has become a neat short hair, the skin on the face is much better, the eyebrows and beard are much neater, and although the clothes are not as clean and tidy as suits and leather shoes, at least they are clean and neat.

If Xu Zheng yesterday was a down-and-out idler, then today he is dressed like an ordinary office worker.

first filmed the scene where I bought medicine from the pharmacy and walked to the street, and then the main scene began.

"Scene 63, one shot at a time!"

In the smoke, Bunmuno shouted "start" loudly.

Xu Zheng covered his mouth and nose, appeared in the monitor with a heavy face, and looked at the vast foggy scene in front of him.

The camera brought Xu Zheng's eyes and presented the surrounding scenes one by one.

There was no bustle, no children's frolicking, everyone hurried by with their mouths and noses covered.

Occasionally, there is a small cart passing by, and the bells on the cart make a long, graceful sound, the rhythm is a bit like the bell in a temple.

The camera then gives a close-up of a man spraying insecticidal spray, with a sprayer in his hand that resembles a Gatling gun, also carried, and is strafing in all directions.

Suddenly, several mosquitoes appeared in the camera, hitting the muzzle of the gun.

The camera advances and gives a close-up, the insecticidal spray from the sprayer drowns several mosquitoes, and then falls straight to the ground, motionless.

The man continued to repeat the motion, spraying around, not paying attention to the mosquitoes.

The cart just now appeared again, and the sound of "Ding Ling, Dang Chang" floated on the street, and then left the camera's sight.

"Okay, pass!"

Li Qian shouted heavily in front of the monitor, and picked up the walkie-talkie with some excitement, "Lao Zhang, the camera movement of the long lens just now is perfect!"

This is art, a lens like a work of art.

Zhang Zhonghua just waved his hand at Li Qian calmly, signaled that it was OK, and began to prepare for the next shot again.

The second shot is Xu Zheng looking at the scene in front of him with some confusion, surrounded by smoke, until he saw someone walking in front of him carrying two statues of gods.

These two deities are Shiva and Kali, the god of destruction and one of the three main gods of the Indu religion, symbolizing destruction and rebirth.

Watching the idol walk in front of him, Xu Zheng slowly let go of the hand covering his mouth and nose.

The camera came to a close-up of his face, Xu Zhengmuran watched the statue go away, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the fog that he couldn't see clearly, Cheng Yong also began to struggle in his heart, where should the road ahead be.

This is Cheng Yong's inner transformation, reflecting through the Buddha statue that Cheng Yong wants to complete the redemption of his heart, he does not want to become a god, but just wants to have a clear conscience.

It's like the statue of the god just now, with a head in his hand, and there is a legend in it.

Legend has it that one day, a powerful demon appeared in the Three Realms, this demon has strong mana, and every drop of blood on the ground will appear on the ground with a thousand incarnations as powerful as him to bring disaster to the world.

When the wife of Shiva, one of the three gods, the goddess of the snow-capped mountain, Parvati, was furious when she heard the news, and she incarnated as Goddess Kali to destroy the demon.

The goddess Kali was afraid that this demon would drip her own blood on the ground during the duel, so that a thousand demon avatars with the same high mana would appear, so she first sucked its blood dry, and there was not a drop left. Afterward.

Kali finally destroyed the demon, but she became violent, and her feet involuntarily trampled the land vigorously, affecting the lives of all beings in the Three Realms.

His companion Shiva, in order to alleviate the suffering of sentient beings, lay at the feet of Kali and let him trample on it to vent his hatred, which is why Shiva is lying at the feet of Kali in the idol just now.

Kali is a pharmacist who sells high-priced medicines, and Cheng Yong is Shiva, and the new medicine developed by the pharmacist saves sentient beings, but the high price also makes him lose himself.

Cheng Yong felt powerless, caught between the pharmaceutical company, the government, and the patient, no matter how he chose, he was not the one who benefited, but his conscience forced him to walk away.

In order not to let sentient beings suffer, he chose to lie down and be trampled on.

Hell is empty, and the devil is on earth!
