This director is very reliable

Chapter 949 "The God of Medicine" (13)

As for the opening film, the jury of the main competition unit of the Shanghai Film Festival also came to watch the film...

This year's jury chairman is...Jiang Wen!
It is said that Jiang Wen really worked hard to promote "Hidden Man".

Not only did he participate in talk shows such as "Thirteen Invitations" and "Xiao Shuo", but he also appeared at the Golden Goblet Awards Judges Chairman Forum with the crew of "Hidden Man"...

If "I'm Not the God of Medicine" hadn't stolen a lot of the limelight, I guess "Hidden Man" would be the most anticipated film at this year's Shanghai Film Festival!
Ahem, the most embarrassing thing is that in the final of Creation 101, Liao Fan and Peng Yuyan promoted "Hidden Man"...

The result of the gambling agreement in "One Step Away" back then made Jiang Wen and the investors both taste the result of failure, so this time, Jiang Wen will reverse the previous decline no matter what.

Jiang Wen told Shen Changlin...

I don't know much about him, and I haven't seen his movies. I only know that his movies are very popular!
But... I haven't watched it much, his original words are 'I only like to watch what I like to watch, and who is who I don't like to watch, what does this have to do with me?Fuck you, I don't want this.We are studying drama, what kind of movie do we watch?You know we're not like that, we watch Oedipus Rex, Medea...'

'I don't like new movies, I like old movies.A writer once said that you can read the books of the dead, not the books of the living.The same is true for movies. The so-called "dead" is that it has been screened by time and is a reliable thing.Why should I spend more than two hours watching a bad movie? '

Although Shen Changlin has made more than a dozen movies, he has not debuted for ten years. His movies belong to new movies for Jiang Wen!
That is the kind that is not uncommon to see...

Shen Changlin told Jiang Wen...

Respect!

No kidding, Jiang Wen said in an interview before: "I think some things are like things in the old society. For example, actors are called artists, godfathers and godmothers, and rich people are respected. I think these are all The bad habits of the old society, I am fundamentally resisting the emergence of these dregs! '

As for Lao Jiang's works...

It’s a bit like durian. If you like it, you like it very much.

But you can't deny the nutritional value of durian!
Just like Jiang Wen's movie can't be denied...

However, it's a pity that Shen Changlin doesn't eat durian, even smelling it feels uncomfortable...

But it doesn't prevent him from looking forward to Jiang Wen's movie, not "Hidden Man", but "Olympic Games in a Prisoner of War Camp"...

Of course, when we meet, we must compliment each other.

Shen Changlin said, ""Hidden Man" is the movie I have been looking forward to in recent years. I have been looking forward to it since the announcement..."

Jiang Wen said, "Xiao Shen is good, carrying Chinese movies forward all the way"...

After completing a set of fixed procedures, we finally entered the screening room!

……

The Shanghai Film Festival does not have a movie palace, and "The God of Medicine" can only be screened in movie theaters, and a big bright movie is arranged.

There are more than a thousand seats.

The seats were full of people, the media and filmmakers basically sat in the front row, and the audience sat in the back row...

Shen Changlin and the leading actors of "The God of Medicine" are sitting on the left side of the front row...

There are still many film critics in the media who are looking forward to "The God of Medicine". Shen Changlin will shoot realistic themes again after six years, and I heard that the review is quite strenuous...

I also heard that Cannes invited him, but he rejected it!

I don't know if it's true or not!

It's true, Cannes did send out an invitation, and it was an invitation to the main competition unit...

Shen Changlin wasn't worried about not getting the award or anything, he was worried about getting the award!

I don’t know if you have noticed, but our literary films are not bad, and it’s not that there are no successors...

"Over the Spring", "Xiaowei", "Spring River Plumbing", "Spring Tide", "What's in the Dark Place" including Bi Gan's "The Last Night on Earth"...

But none of these won awards, and they were not even shortlisted for the three major film festivals!
The reason is quite simple. These literary and artistic films are not so bitter and bitter. They no longer reflect the individual tragedies of Chinese people in the great era, national suffering and repression. Instead, they reflect the romantic and poetic China, as well as modern Chinese aesthetics. And the problems boys and girls face in society.

This is very different from the expression of Chinese literary films in the world, the image of Chinese people, and the image of Chinese culture.Foreign cultural elites were not shortlisted for these awards due to their political awareness, and there is a certain connection.

If "The God of Medicine" won the award, wouldn't Shen Changlin be the "Western School" stamped in Cannes?
What are their judging criteria for film festivals with international influence?
What is internal?
What is external?
Pulling back, as the lights dimmed, the movie was officially screened...

……

In fact, as an audio-visual art, the charm of movies lies in presentation, and the key to presentation is to make audiences feel more involved in the process of watching movies.

A large part of the reason why many commercial movies are called brainless nowadays is that they are afraid that the audience will not understand, such as explaining through lines, or arranging a large number of connecting scenes.

Although "The God of Medicine" is a feature film, the way it is told is completely commercialized.

Only three minutes into the opening, Cheng Yong's character set stood still: the family dilemma...

The ex-wife wants to take their son to the United States. If Cheng Yong doesn't have enough money to support him to win the custody of his son, his son will have to leave!

The old father lives in a nursing home, and the hospitalization fee is in arrears...

He needs to make money!
Lu Yiyi's appearance is a turning point...

Well, there is basically no change in "The God of Medicine", except for adding some lines to defend pharmaceutical companies-in fact, without Swiss medicine, where can there be generic drugs?
Why is it so expensive?

Glenin in our country is the highest selling Glenin in the world, more than double that of South Korea.

In which country Nova sells this drug, they all say "we are the original drug, and the research and development cost is billions of dollars", why is it sold the most expensive in China, which is not rich?
Who knows?

At the end of the movie, Duan Yihong came out of prison, and Wu Jing picked him up.

"smokes?"

"Stop doing…"

"It's good to quit... Let's find a place to drink?"

"Row!"

While fastening his seat belt, Wu Jing asked, "Come out, what are your plans?"

Duan Yihong shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet!"

"Don't touch fake medicines, no one will buy them."

"what's wrong?"

"Genuine medicines are included in the medical insurance, and no one takes Indian medicines."

Duan Yihong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "Is it included in the medical insurance? Oh, that's good."

"You'd better continue selling your aphrodisiac... it's suitable for you too!"

car goes by...

The movie is over.

Then a bunch of subtitles came out - in 2002, the survival rate of chronic myeloid leukemia was about 30.00%, in 2018, the survival rate of chronic myeloid leukemia was about 80.00% five...

On the way to save hope, thank you for everyone's hard work.

The movie is over. According to the process, the main creators should come to the stage to share their feelings. Shen Changlin was about to get up, and then, suddenly, the audience in the back row spontaneously stood up and applauded...

Not only that, Yang Xiaomi sitting next to him was crying so hard...

This... is this staged?

Shen Changlin was a little embarrassed, looked at Duan Yihong, his eyes filled with tears...

You guys... well, this is the first time they've seen it in action!
"We applaud the director of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" Shen Changlin, starring Duan Yihong, Lei Jiayin, Yang Xiaomi..."

Fortunately, the host remembers the Cue process...
