Chapter 129 The Strong Can Save Themselves, the Saints Can Save Others!
"Come in."
""Medicine God" won't be very heavy, sister. I heard that "The Crucible" is very sad."
"No, look at that poster, does it look heavy?"
Jiangcheng, cinema.
A pair of siblings walked into the theater expectantly while chatting.
In the aisle, there is also a poster of the family portrait of "The God of Medicine".
In the poster, all the actors are smiling happily, and it doesn't look like a heavy movie at all.
As the elder sister among the three siblings, Liu Yun is a loyal fan of Lin Qiu and said with emotion:
"The poster for "The Crucible" looks like a sadistic movie."
"Sister, I've cried all my tears."
After sitting down in the theater, the entire Imax theater was packed.
"Ah, it's comfortable, this massage chair."
Brother Liu Hao leaned on the massage chair and enjoyed it.
Before long, the lights in the cinema were completely dimmed.
After the commercial, the video officially begins.
The premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" in Quanxiazhou.
The IMAX theater with nearly 500 people suddenly became quiet.
As soon as the movie started, there was a burst of laughter in the theater, mostly from men, while some thin-faced women turned red.
"Everyone uses Viagra now, who uses magic oil? I've used that thing of yours before, but it's no use for balls!"
"Tch, I can't do it without the ball."
…
Liu Hao seemed to be able to hear the murmurs of the men around him:
"It's useful, who says it's useless..."
The opening plot tells the story of Cheng Yong, a middle-aged down-and-out man played by Jiang Han, who runs a Yinzhou sacred oil shop with little business on the street.
How desolate is it?
His wife left him, and she still wanted to fight for the custody of her son, and wanted to take Cheng Yong's son abroad.
Not only that, even Cheng Yong's father is suffering from a disease and needs expensive treatment.
There are old people at the top and young people at the bottom. It is a big mess. In just a few minutes, the movie shows it vividly. The audience will feel dizzy even just looking at it, let alone experiencing it.
Jiang Han's acting is as natural as ever, completely immersing the audience!
But the audience did not sympathize with Cheng Yong, because Cheng Yong did not seem to be a good person, and he even got into a fight with his ex-wife during the custody battle and entered the police station.
It was in the police station that Officer Cao Bin, played by Chen You, appeared for the first time.
Cao Bin's identity is the younger brother of Cheng Yong's ex-wife, who is also Cheng Yong's brother-in-law.
Oh, ex-brother-in-law.
Chen You, who just won the title of Best Actor at the end of last year, still maintains his first-class acting skills.
The explosive performance of anger shocked the audience.
"hiss……"
"It seems like it's not that simple."
Liu Yun, who was sitting in his seat, vaguely felt that this movie might not be that simple. It could be called a masterpiece by Ye Zhiyuan, and the story has just begun now.
…
"Eat an orange!"
"Eat an orange!"
Lu Yiyi's appearance kicked off the story of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Lu Yiyi's actor is not very familiar to the audience, but he caught the audience's attention in just a few scenes.
Lu Yiyi is a patient suffering from chronic myelogenous leukemia. He suffers from pain and must take anti-cancer drugs for a long time to suppress his condition.
But the price of a small bottle of Glenin in the market is as high as 40,000 yuan. Such a sky-high price of genuine medicine is simply not something Lu Yiyi can afford. Not only Lu Yiyi can't afford it, but many leukemia patients can't afford it. rise!
All he can do is beg Cheng Yong to go to Indiana and bring back cheap medicine from Indiana. The medicine has exactly the same effect, but only costs 2,000 yuan.
But such behavior is undoubtedly illegal, and if discovered, jail time is certain.
At first, Cheng Yong was hesitant, but the pressure of life was too heavy, with seniors at the top and small embarrassments at the bottom, so Cheng Yong could only take risks.
…
"No, can a person like this be called the God of Medicine?"
"Isn't he just a selfish person?"
"It's okay, okay. As long as it's not a movie like "The Crucible" that makes you cry, I can accept it."
I chose "I'm Not the God of Medicine" on the first day of the Lunar New Year and gave up the family-friendly movie "Chinatown Detective", which was full of "courage".
The movie has just started and the story has progressed to this point. How should we film it next?
Not to mention the female audience, even the male audience looked down on a down-and-out man like Cheng Yong who was selfish, incompetent, but unwilling to bow his head.
What's even more annoying is that Cheng Yong also engages in domestic violence!
Just like what Cheng Yong said to the owner of the Indiana Pharmaceutical Factory in the movie:
"I don't want to be a savior!"
"I want to make money!"
"Life! It's money!"
This picture of a profiteer but not taking other people's lives seriously made the audience frown even more!
After returning to Xiazhou, Cheng Yong began the process of selling medicine, selling for 5,000 bottles.
Compared with 40,000 bottles of genuine drugs, the price of 5,000 is considered very cheap, but the audience knows that Cheng Yong still made a lot of profits from it, and the main purpose is to make money!
In order to expand the scale of the medicine selling business, Cheng Yong established a team.
In addition to Pastor Liu and Lu benefiting from it.
Si Hui, a single mother, whose daughter is a leukemia patient, is able to contact patients from all over the world.
Another one, Huang Mao Penghao, got sick and ran away from home in order not to hurt his family.
After a conflict with Cheng Yong, Cheng Yong saw that the young man was quite righteous, so he pulled him into the drug selling team.
With a lot of money coming in, in a short period of time, Cheng Yong went from a man who was so poor that he couldn't even pay the rent to raising enough money for his father's surgery, as if his life had improved.
…
"Hiss... This Cheng Yong doesn't seem so bad?"
The scenes of "Dying to Survive" made Liu Yun suddenly doubt himself again.
Cheng Yong didn't take advantage of the situation and go to bed with Sihui, who tacitly agreed to give her body to Cheng Yong.
Moreover, Cheng Yong has indeed helped many leukemia patients during this period. From a certain perspective, Cheng Yong has done a good thing?
It's not afraid of comparing goods, but it's afraid of comparing people.
Compared with Zhang Changlin, the "bastard" drug dealer who actually sells fake drugs, the drugs Cheng Yong brought back are at least real drugs that are several times cheaper than genuine drugs!
In this comparison, Cheng Yong's image is quite glorious.
But it was not just Liu Yun. All the audience had just changed their impression of Cheng Yong.
Cheng Yong's behavior made his image fall to the ground again!
But selling this kind of medicine is illegal after all, and the person in charge of the genuine medicine soon called the police.
As the police intervened in the investigation, Cheng Yong gradually began to think about quitting.
Cheng Yong thought about it and decided to hand over the source and sales channels of the medicine to Zhang Changlin in order to avoid going to jail.
…
"There is no banquet that will not end in this world."
"I will not sell this medicine starting tomorrow."
Jiang Han's expression was very calm and he had obviously made a decision.
Lv Shouyi's smile was stiff:
"I drank too much again."
"This joke is not funny."
"Are you talking human language?"
"Why not human language?"
After a dispute, Jiang Han suddenly slammed the table and shouted in an infectious tone:
"What does it have to do with me! I am not a leukemia patient!"
"I am just a magic oil seller. I have parents and children to take care of. What will they do if I am arrested!"
...
At this moment, although many viewers frowned.
But if you think about it carefully, what can Cheng Yong do about his situation?
If the police intervene and do not stop, the only result may be imprisonment.
If most people make enough money, they will probably make the same choice. Most people are selfish. Cheng Yong is not suffering from leukemia like the prototype. Why should he risk his life to save others?
It has to be said that the current era is a relatively "cold and selfish" era, created by the environment.
Just like the classic proposition "Help or not", if there is no consequence, will anyone not help?
It's just that it's hard to bear the consequences of helping. This possible consequence is not only borne by oneself, but also by the family, ruining life.
...
Cheng Yong gave up selling medicine and opened a factory instead.
He earns hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, without any risk, and has become a successful person.
The movie really took a turn here.
The audience's heart was suddenly pulled up!
"Ahhhhh——"
Cheng Yong, played by Jiang Han, sat outside the hospital in a daze, listening to Lv Shouyi's screams like a pig being slaughtered during the wound cleaning, guilt and sadness surged.
It takes courage to look directly at the pain, Cheng Yong doesn't have it, and the audience doesn't have it either.
This scene was shot by Lv Chao without closing his eyes for two days and two nights. His state was just right, and he completely brought the audience's emotions into it!
The leukemia patients were not so lucky. Zhang Changlin ran away and the medicine was cut off.
Many leukemia patients died because of this.
Cheng Yong felt guilty and compassionate, so he had to go to Yinzhou again to see if he could bring back some medicine.
…
"What does this mean?"
"I don't know."
"Hiss..."
Amid the audience's confusion, Cheng Yong just came out of the pharmacy in Yinzhou and came to the noisy streets of Yinzhou.
The street was filled with smoke, and in the haze, a group of people pushed two statues through the fog.
These two statues symbolize destruction and rebirth, and are the nodes for Cheng Yong to transform into a "medicine god"!
But Cheng Yong just returned to Xiazhou and heard a bad news.
The audience's heart twitched.
"Lv Shouyi..."
"Dead."
At this moment, the audience was put into the perspective of Cheng Yong, played by Jiang Han, walking in a narrow corridor full of leukemia patients, and felt that every leukemia patient wearing a mask was looking at him indifferently.
Those eyes were as cold and cruel as a murderous knife.
No one blamed Cheng Yong, but just felt desperate and helpless.
There was no light in their eyes.
Suffering from leukemia, unable to afford the authentic sky-high-priced medicine at 40,000 yuan per bottle, Lu Shouyi's today is their tomorrow.
…
"Changed."
"Cheng Yong's eyes changed!"
Almost no lines are needed
Jiang Han's superb acting skills, the change in his eyes alone can make the audience feel the character's intense inner struggle.
After the struggle, Cheng Yong embarked on the road of selling medicine again.
This time...
"Please understand, don't seek justice, I don't want to go to jail."
The patients seemed to have a glimmer of hope, as long as they have medicine to take, they will live.
"How much are you selling this time?"
"500."
The strong save themselves, the saints save others.
When Cheng Yong said the price of the medicine was 500 this time, everyone was stunned.
This includes not only the leukemia patients on the screen, but also the audience sitting in the theater.
Because they know deeply that the 500 yuan selling price is just the cost price, and Cheng Yong has no intention of making a penny of money from these leukemia patients.
This time Cheng Yong set foot on the road of selling medicine again, just for more leukemia patients to live in this world!
Cheng Yong knows that his meager power may fall into the law one day, but every time he thinks of the helplessness of those patients and the death of Lu Shouyi, Cheng Yong can't stop his heartache.
People are never black and white.
Modern people always praise people to the sky when they are in the right time and step on them in the wrong time.
But everyone has his own position and advantages and disadvantages.
Cheng Yong is not a good person, but he has never been a bad person either.
Just for Cheng Yong's behavior of selling medicine again at the risk of being caught, the audience has already given a big "respect"!
At this point in the movie, the emotions accumulated in nearly an hour and a half have been piled up to the top step by step!
All the audience were worried at this moment, and Liu Yun clenched his hands, hoping that Cheng Yong would not be arrested, and that those leukemia patients could rely on Cheng Yong's medicine to survive!
At this moment, the tear-jerking climax of the movie came.
The police station tracked down the Indian drugs that had re-entered the market, increased the intensity of the search, and detained many patients who bought these Indian drugs, hoping that they could provide some clues about the drug dealers!
...
All the patients bowed their heads and said nothing.
No one said anything.
They couldn't give out Cheng Yong, and only with Cheng Yong's medicine could they survive.
Whoever gave out Cheng Yong, so many leukemia patients could only wait to die, not to mention that Cheng Yong was not trying to make money this time, but to help them!
Cao Bin, played by Chen You, was no longer the "upright image" in the minds of the audience at this moment. The audience only hoped that Cheng Yong could get through this difficult time.
"I only remind you of one thing."
"You are not helping him, but harming him."
Seeing that all the patients were still unmoved, Cao Bin could only shake his head helplessly.
Just as she was about to leave, an old lady in the back row stood up tremblingly and said to Cao Bin:
"Leader..."
"I beg you for a favor."
"I just want to beg you to stop investigating Yinzhou Medicine..."
"Can I?"
...
