I became popular on the stage

Chapter 487 The Silent Cinema (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
In 2002, Shanghai.

This is a small alley in the city, dilapidated and messy, with messy wires everywhere between floors, which is very different from the later international metropolis.

In the Shenyou shop, the owner Cheng Yong was full of decadence, playing spider poker on his desktop while smoking a cigarette.A white-haired old man walked in from the Qingyuan Hotel nearby.

"Old Cheng, old Cheng... The landlord called me again, and I said you didn't answer the door."

"Thanks."

"Hurry up and pay the rent."

"I can't pay it, I have no money. The things don't sell well."

"..."

Through the conversation, everyone soon knew that Cheng Yong's life was not good. He was frustrated at work, his marriage failed, his father was critically ill, he couldn't make up enough money for the operation, he was pregnant with someone else in the early stage, but he came to fight him for the custody of his son...

In just a few clips, the image of a decadent, depressed, and failed middle-aged man pops up on the screen.

Among the young lovers, the boy snorted, "This doesn't seem like a documentary? Is it a real commercial drama?"

The girl nodded: "It should be a feature film. It seems that everyone's guesses were wrong before. But is such a commercial film worth watching?"

"Who knows."

The boy began to be dishonest while talking.Anyway, they didn't come here for the movie, no matter what the content is.

The girl's face was flushed, but she didn't refuse.

However, after only a moment, the two stopped their movements again and looked at the screen.

Because in the current movie, a leukemia patient Lu Yiyi came to Cheng Yong's shop.

"Wow, it's played by Yuan Mobei."

"I love Li Xiaoyao, who was played by Xiaobei back then."

""Legend of Sword" is an eternal classic."

"Why did Yuan Mobei lose so much weight?"

"Yes, I remember that he was one of the four most beautiful men in China when he was filming "The Immortal Sword"."

Yuan Mobei can be called a popular niche in China today, and his popularity is extremely high.So when he appeared, several girls in the movie theater became excited, but soon everyone was shocked to find that Yuan Mobei in the movie was pale, his eyes were deeply sunken, and he was skinny and sick. sleepy state.This image is impossible to do with makeup.

So seeing Yuan Mobei like this, everyone felt incredible.

In the movie, the conversation between the two is going on.

Lu Yiyi: "Boss, a bottle of domestic genuine medicine costs [-] yuan, and the Indian pirated version costs [-] yuan. The medicine has exactly the same effect. If you bring more of these..."

"Eh eh?"

Cheng Yong showed a different expression: "The effect of the medicine is exactly the same?"

Lu Yiyi nodded.

Cheng Yong's eyeballs almost protruded: "The price difference is twenty times?"

Hear this conversation.

The few people watching the movie all exclaimed in a low voice, everyone's eyes were full of shock, and their faces were full of disbelief.

What medicine costs nearly [-] a bottle?
This kind of sky-high price of medicine is almost beyond their cognition, and according to Lu Yiyi's words, this group of patients has to take a bottle of medicine a month to survive. Doesn't this mean that the medicine costs almost [-] yuan a year?
Everyone's hearts are trembling.

Even if the price of the pirated version is twenty times lower, a bottle of [-] yuan is still a sky-high price for ordinary people.

Everyone swallowed their saliva, so there are such serious illness groups in the world?They just found out today for the first time.And how can ordinary people afford such sky-high prices?
"Why don't you watch a movie first?"

The boy's heart was shaken, and his eyes became a little complicated.

The girl felt a little pain in her heart when she saw Lu Yiyi's skinny appearance, and she nodded slightly when she heard the boy's words.

The rest of the movie theater also focused on the movie.

in the movie.

After all, Cheng Yong still could not resist the temptation of huge profits, accepted Lu Yiyi's request, and began to resell fake medicines from India.He didn't know until he went to India that the local agency price of this drug was as low as 500 a bottle, which was outrageous.And he sold [-] bottles in China, and the ten times profit made Cheng Yong turn around quickly.

On the other hand, patients in China who cannot afford genuine medicines also saved their lives because of pirated medicines. Although a bottle of [-] yuan is expensive, many people can still afford it.

This is a transaction that benefits both parties.

Cheng Yong became a master by selling fake medicines.

His cheap special medicines have helped countless people who could not afford genuine medicines, so he was regarded as the "God of Medicine".

in the cinema.

A handful of more than a dozen audience members, including the two single dogs who were already sitting together, were deeply immersed in the plot at this moment, with concentration and seriousness on their faces.

Look at those desperate patients who have no money to buy medicine.

Look at the tall, indifferent Glenin representative.

Inexplicably, a kind of sadness and anger arose in their hearts. For the first time, they felt that there was nothing wrong with Cheng Yong selling fake medicines. They even prayed in their hearts that Cheng Yong would not be discovered by the authorities and could help a few more patients.

however……

Cheng Yong's behavior is illegal after all.Finally, the fire could not be wrapped in paper, and the case happened...

But when the police asked the patients to tell who was selling the counterfeit medicines, everyone remained silent.This made Cao Bin, the policeman, even more angry, admonishing him over and over again, his anger was beyond words.

In the theater, the girl subconsciously held the boy's hand tightly, her palms were covered with sweat.

Both hands are trembling slightly.

No one is wrong.

The police are on the side of justice.

Patients are on the side of life.

But seeing this scene, everyone still felt uncomfortable, feeling like a stone was pressed down in their hearts, and they couldn't breathe.

At this moment, an old woman stood up.She looked at the policeman like this and said: "I have been taking genuine medicine for three years, and my house and family are ruined. Now I finally have cheap medicine, but you insist that it is counterfeit medicine. If we don't take medicine, we I can only wait to die. I don't want to die, I want to live, okay?"

The old grandma's tone was very slow and calm, but behind the calm, there was a hidden sadness.

I want to live, okay?
To be alive is the simplest thing for ordinary people, but for the old lady, it has become a luxury.Without cheap fake medicines, these patients can only wait to die.The saddest thing in the human world is not death, because everyone will die.But it is sad to live and wait for death, watching oneself walk towards death step by step, without any hope, the most painful thing is this.

some words.

All the police were silent.

Cao Bin stared blankly at the old grandma, seeing the hope and despair in her eyes, finally turned his back, and shouted in a low voice: "Retract the team!"

in the cinema.

Everyone stared at this scene in a daze, as if a boulder hit them in their hearts, and they were extremely depressed.

The eyes of the girl who was already psychologically fragile were filled with mist unconsciously, and her eyes became foggy.The boy also felt very uncomfortable and remained silent.

The popcorn was put aside, and no hands reached out again.The two cups of Coke also stayed in place quietly.

The movie theater fell into a dead silence.

The police finally closed the team and found nothing.

But Cheng Yong's crisis became stronger and stronger. In order to avoid greater danger, he had to withdraw from selling counterfeit drugs and handed over the agency area of ​​drug sales to counterfeit drug dealer Zhang Changlin.Zhang Changlin was eventually arrested for charging too much, but as a result, those who relied on counterfeit medicines to save their lives ushered in despair.

Lu Yiyi's medicine was also discontinued, and his condition worsened day by day without money.

In order not to hurt his wife and children, late at night, he quietly got up from the hospital bed when he was dying of illness. He had always been inferior, thin, and cautious, and he turned his head and took a deep look at his sleeping wife and children, with reluctance, tenderness, With love and indelible sorrow, he chose to commit suicide.

Lu Yiyi died.

His death was like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into everyone's heart.

The pain was so great that they couldn't breathe.

The girl's tears could no longer be suppressed, and they just burst out of her eyes.But she didn't take out the tissue, just let the tears flow on her face, the sadness in her heart permeated, covering all her mind.

The boy's eye sockets also became red, and he wiped his eye sockets over and over again.

Cheng Yong is back.

Seeing Lu Yiyi's death, Cheng Yong couldn't face the fact that he finally came back again and started selling fake medicines.

But this time, he didn't do it for money, but for peace of mind.

A bottle of counterfeit medicine changed from [-] yuan to [-] yuan.

He doesn't make a penny.

There are even hundreds of thousands of postages every month.

The yellow hair is back.

Liu Sihui is back.

Pastor Liu is back.

Only Lu Yiyi... will never be able to come back.

Cheng Yong's counterfeit drug channels are getting more and more popular. At this time, everyone was shocked to find that there are countless patients across the country, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands, maybe tens of thousands, maybe more...they are all beneficiaries of fake medicines , Because of Cheng Yong, they all had hope of surviving.

Cheng Yong has truly become the "God of Medicine" in the hearts of patients.

until!

The police checked again.

This time, Huang Mao, who was not very good at driving, saw that Cheng Yong was about to be arrested. Under the anxious eyes of everyone, he stepped forward and drove away the van to attract the attention of the police.Only then did everyone realize that this taciturn person and discriminated child unexpectedly exploded with such a huge amount of energy at the critical moment, blooming the last splendor of life... Until, the yellow-haired car was hit by a roaring car. Hit by a passing truck.

……

When Cheng Yong rushed to the hospital and asked where he was, Cao Bin only waited for him to say, "It's gone."

That moment.

Cheng Yong is crazy.

He frantically rushed up and grabbed Cao Bin's clothes, hissing and roaring: "He is only twenty years old, what crime does he have if he wants to live?"

"You talk!"

"Please speak!"

"What's his crime?!"

"What's his crime?!"

In front of the screen.

Everyone's heart was slammed again.

The girl finally couldn't help it, and covered her mouth, her tears were like a flood that burst a bank.

The boy wiped his tears with his sleeves vigorously, but found that the more he wiped, the more he wiped.There was an unspeakable pain in his heart, which made him almost go crazy.

In the movie theater, there were a few clear sobs.

Still no one spoke.

No one is flirting.

No one frolics.

Only wordless silence.

Huangmao also died.

Cheng Yong is the last person left, but he is still on the way of selling fake medicines.Because he knows that as long as he does not sell fake medicines for a day, countless people will fall into despair.

He doesn't want to stop.

I dare not stop.

Even if he knew that he had gradually fallen into the abyss.But he is willing, and he has no hesitation.

until he was caught.

Cheng Yong was pushed to the ground. He didn't resist, his eyes were dull, and he let the police hold him tightly.His eyes are empty, expressing despair and sadness.Because he knew that he would no longer be able to help his patients buy medicines. Without counterfeit medicines, those patients could only wait to die.

But he couldn't help it.

He could only let the police hold him down like this, and his heart was ashamed.

soon.

The verdict came out officially, and the bailiff drove into custody.When the car drove out, a bailiff suddenly said softly to the driver: "Slow down."

The camera pans outward.

Only then did he realize that both sides of the road were densely covered with patients wearing masks. Through the car window, Cheng Yong looked at familiar or unfamiliar faces outside, and watched them slowly take off their masks, revealing their faces, and silently Tell Cheng Yong that they are the patients he saved.

Thousands of people see off.

silent.

silent.

The police car gradually drove away and disappeared into the distance.

A sentence slowly appeared on the screen: Part of the content of this film is based on real events.

These words appeared for a few seconds and then disappeared.

Boundless darkness surged, and the entire movie theater became completely dark.

The movie is over.
