China Entertainment's whatever you want

Chapter 662 The God of Medicine is a big seller
November 7, Beijing.

The movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" directed by Wen Muye, produced by Gu Wei and starring Xiao Yang held the premiere ceremony of "Life is Like a Summer Flower" at Tsinghua University.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the media gathered at the venue, and celebrities from all walks of life came to support.

"Wu Jing, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo.
Not to mention that [I Am Not the God of Medicine] is a low-budget comedy movie, why are so many celebrities coming to support it?"

As the celebrities continued to appear, the reporters on the side of the venue were also overwhelmed. The cameras never stopped and the flashes kept flashing.

"In the movie [Wei Ming Xia], Gu Wei is not only the producer but also a guest star. Of course, everyone gives face to support it."
Wow~ Lu Han and Huang Zitao also arrived, but it's a pity that Guan Xiaotong didn't come.

The two have rarely appeared together in public since they announced their relationship, but they are always photographed together in private."

"Maybe I don't want everyone to pay too much attention to their relationship."

"Tsk tsk, speaking of it, Lu Han is really a man. If a top-notch relationship is made public, how much money will it cost?"

"People think differently, and people may not care."

"How's the later stage of [Wandering Earth] going?"

In the venue, Gu Wei kept receiving friends who came to cheer.

We are not short of money now, and I don’t want to just take on roles and make bad movies.”

"Yes, this time he is not only the male lead, but also the producer of the movie. He plays a homeroom teacher, and I helped him make a guest appearance as a physical education teacher."

Yu Xia also won the Best Actor Award at the Macau Film Festival for this film.

"It was so difficult to shoot this movie. I really want to see what the final effect will be."

The crew set the premiere venue at Tsinghua University after careful consideration.

Gu Wei was a little surprised.

"Then it's settled!"

"Oh? Brother Qian is acting in a movie again?"

As soon as he said this, Gu Wei remembered which movie it was. It should be the youth campus movie [Teacher·Good] that had a good reputation.

The crew hopes that the movie can establish a good reputation among college students and then spread this reputation through their channels.

There was no special program at the premiere of [The God of Medicine]. After normal interviews and interactions, the movie started playing.

With all the guests present, the premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" officially begins.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a good film that can resonate with people, but it is not a commercial film in the traditional sense, or even a comedy, although the film has always been promoted as a comedy.

He saw how much effort Guo Fan put into this movie, so he was very curious about what the finished movie would look like.

Wu Jing sighed after hearing Gu Wei's words.

The movie is actually average from the story to the shooting techniques, and there is nothing outstanding about it, but Yu Chao's performance is very recognized by the audience.

"I called Guo Fan a few days ago and he said that it has reached the final stage, but it will probably take another two months for the film to be released."

"No, you are so hot right now, how can you be idle?"

"What do I have to do? I've been staying at home these days." Wu Jing came alone, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, casual and casual.

"Yes, I have been busy with [Wolf Warrior 2] before, and after it ended, I was asked to join the crew of [The Wandering Earth]. It's good to take some time off now."

"Brother Jing, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you down," Gu Wei said with a smile.

Wu Jing waved his hand.

Although it is a small film festival, it is still the best actor.

There are quite a few people who come to me for filming, but most of the scripts are hard to describe.

On the contrary, although Yu Xian has acted in bad movies over the years, almost no one can say that his acting skills are bad. Even in bad movies, many roles can leave a deep impression on people.

After [Produce 101] ended, he returned to the set to film for a few days, and then came to Beijing to attend the premiere of his own movie.

Except for the celebrity guests present and some invited film critics and media, the rest of the audience were college students.

Although Gu Wei was the boss, he did not overshadow the show and gave up the leading role to director Wen Muye.

“I have no ideas for a new movie at the moment, and I haven’t received any suitable scripts during this period.

The two of them didn't deliberately whisper when they chatted. After Wu Jing said that, Gu Wei didn't feel anything, but Huang Xiaoming, who was not far away, twitched his lips unconsciously after hearing this.

Having said that, they are both backgrounds in cross talk and are partners. Guo Degang and Yu Chai have completely different approaches to making movies.

Wu Jing patted Gu Wei on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Gu Wei asked curiously.

He and Guo Fan hit it off immediately, and they quickly became good buddies after filming.

"If you are really curious, I will contact you as soon as the finished film is released to give you a preview!"

"I haven't been idle all the time. I went to Brother Qian's set a few days ago to play a guest role for him."

As soon as Lao Guo showed up, he knew that this film must be a bad one, and his acting was not very good. When he spoke his lines, it felt like he was talking about cross talk on stage.

Therefore, Lao Guo's reputation got worse and worse. In the end, no one asked him to film anymore. On the contrary, Yu Zhuan thrived in the film and television industry. Everyone knew that his acting skills were good and he was popular with the audience. Many directors were willing to look for him.

Zhou Yang is a film critic with hundreds of thousands of Weibo fans.

He was invited to attend the premiere today. Originally, he wasn't very interested in the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

In his opinion, this is Wen Mu's second film "The Lover". It promotes comedy and routines from the perspective of middle-aged men.

Even Gu Wei's cameo is no different.

After all, Gu Wei had a cameo appearance in "The Lover", although he only appeared in two scenes and died.

However, he knows the rules. After all, after receiving the money, no matter how good the quality of today's movie is, he will definitely post a review praising "The God of Medicine" when he gets back. This kind of professionalism is still there.

With the mentality of watching a comedy, Zhou Yang started watching movies.

However, after "I'm Not the God of Medicine" started playing, he slowly felt that something was wrong.

'This is a comedy, what's the point of the joke? '

Not to mention that a normal comedy only costs three minutes, at least there will be plenty of funny moments. From the moment the movie started playing, Zhou Yang couldn't find a single funny point.

Cheng Yong, the owner of an Indian sacred oil store played by Xiao Yang, is living a miserable life. There is no business in the store, his father is critically ill, and he cannot raise enough money for the surgery.

The ex-wife is pregnant with a child by a wealthy man and wants to take custody of his son away.

One day, a leukemia patient came to the store and begged him to bring back a batch of imitation special drugs from India so that patients who could not afford the sky-high price of genuine drugs could keep a glimmer of hope.

So, Cheng Yong, who was still doubtful, went to India and started his career as a drug dealer. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly turned around.

Although there is nothing funny, the story of "The God of Medicine" is well told. Cheng Yong, Lu Yiyi, Liu Sihui, Pastor, Huang Mao, several people came together because of illness and medicine to form a small medicine selling team.

Business is booming, Cheng Yong is making money, patients are getting cheap medicine, and everything seems perfect.

However, Cheng Yong relies on smuggling to sell drugs, and Indian drugs are also illegal imitations. After the Swiss pharmaceutical representative played by Zhang Songwen put pressure on the authorities, the police began to investigate and deal with Indian drugs.

Cheng Yong was afraid of something happening, so he backed down and planned to stop and part ways with Lu Yiyi, Huang Mao and others.

In the second half of the movie, Cheng Yong, who made money by selling medicine, opened a small factory and his business was booming.

Until one day, Lu Yiyi's wife came to him and told him that Lu Yiyi was going to die. Because he could not afford genuine medicine, his disease had entered an advanced stage.

Lu Yiyi's death deeply touched Cheng Yong. He had never felt the fragility of life so deeply.

With a kind heart, he decided to go to India to buy medicine again, this time not to make money, but to save the lives of leukemia patients.

At this moment, Cheng Yong has become a real "medicine god" from a profit-seeking drug dealer!
After the story unfolded, Zhou Yang stared at the big screen. Although it was not funny, the story really attracted him.

“Stop pursuing Indian medicine, okay?

I was ill for three years, my house was depleted, and my family was devastated by me.
If you take him away, we will all die. I don’t want to die, I want to live.”

Watching the scene between the sick old lady and Gu Wei in the police station made Zhou Yang's nose sore.

He has watched too many movies and he has not felt this way for a long time.

Not only him, many people in the audience were secretly shedding tears.

"I have been selling medicine for so many years, and I have discovered that there is only one disease in the world - the disease of poverty!"

This is what Zhang Changlin and Cheng Yong, the counterfeit medicine dealers, told him to stop. He is not a god and cannot save everyone.

Zhang Changlin was arrested, but he did not betray Cheng Yong. Although he was a liar, he also admired Cheng Yong's spirit.

The police investigation became more and more strict, and Huang Mao died in an accident in a car accident to protect Cheng Yong.

In the end, Cheng Yong was arrested and on his way to prison, all the patients walked along the street to see him off.

At the end of the movie, Cheng Yong is released from prison, his brother-in-law played by Gu Wei comes to pick him up, and genuine drugs are included in the medical insurance.

When the movie ended, there was a deathly silence in the venue, and then thunderous applause broke out.

Everyone stood up and applauded vigorously for this excellent and touching movie.

Zhou Yang sniffed and stood up to applaud.

He was glad that he came to this scene today.

'The movie is so well promoted as a comedy, but the content is too different from what was advertised.

It's just so much better. I haven't seen such an excellent domestic movie in a long time.'

After the movie premiere, both the media and film critics praised "The God of Medicine" crazily on their respective channels. Stars who attended the premiere also recommended the movie on Weibo after returning home.

On the 3rd and 4th, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" launched large-scale screenings across the country.

Although it is said to be a screening, the scale of the screening is actually very large, and the proportion of films scheduled has even reached 10% of the films scheduled nationwide on a single day.

This is also part of the publicity plan.

Because of the nature of the film, if you want to achieve good results, you must get a good reputation in the early stage.

Relying on early publicity, Gu Wei's guest appearance and other gimmicks, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" grossed 100 million yuan in box office in two days of screening, setting a box office record for domestic movies.

On July 7, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was officially released.

On the first day, the national film schedule accounted for as high as 51%, and the results did not disappoint. The single-day box office was 1.6 million yuan, becoming the national single-day box office champion.

The most important thing is that the reputation of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has completely spread, and its reputation has exploded!

After two days of screenings and one day of screenings, countless viewers who have watched the movie shared their feelings online, telling others about this rare and good movie.

[I'm Not a Medicine God] ended its first day of release. Douban scored 9.2 and Maoyan scored 9.9. Hundreds of thousands of people gave the movie good reviews on these two platforms.

[I was tricked into coming here by a comedy. I wanted to have fun, but ended up leaving the cinema with my eyes swollen from tears. Hehe, it’s not a loss, because everyone is the same.]

[It's a bit like "Dallas Buyers Club", but I checked and found out that there really is "Cheng Yong". The movie is adapted from real events and is not an imitation of foreign movies. It was so well done! 】

[I expected it to look good, but I didn’t expect the filming to be so simple, solid, and smooth. Wen Mu is also a practical director. He didn’t plan to make a masterpiece, but just told a good story. Because of this, it is very realistic. Only the care appears thoughtful, careful and accurate.】

[A very tear-jerking movie. I haven’t seen a domestic reality-themed movie that tells such a good story in a long time.

"They just want to live, what's wrong with that?" Grandma Xu was so moved.]

[After Zhang Changlin was arrested, he was forced to confess in various ways, but he never confessed to Cheng Yong. Of course, it cannot prove that he is a good person, but I feel that people will always have a little admiration for great people.]

[May the world get better and better, not because of the savior, but because of those who chase the light, those who work for everyone, and do not let them be killed by the wind and snow! 】

[The attachment to life, the fear of death, and the powerlessness of poverty are all the truth, but they are truths that no one dares to make. China has one such film a year, which is enough! 】

[I originally watched the movie because of Gu Wei, but I ended up crying in the theater. Xiao Yang and Wang Chuanjun really shocked me. I thought they were just comedians before, but I didn’t expect their acting skills to be so good! 】

【.】

In the first week of the summer season, "Animal World", which was released on the 29th last month, did not perform well, and the box office results were quite different from expectations.

The best-selling films "Cohabitation" and "Jurassic World 2" have been in theaters for more than 20 days, with very few box office hits in a single day.

[I am not a medicine god] After word of mouth exploded, I looked around and found almost no competitors.

On Friday, the second day of release, the film schedule ratio increased to 59%, and the box office also increased to 2.4 million yuan.

In the two days following the first weekend, the film's film schedule continued to increase by more than 60%, with box office receipts of 3.84 million and 3.92 million respectively.

In the first four days of its first week, "I'm Not a Medicine God" took in a box office of 4 billion yuan, becoming the first best-selling movie in the 12.76 summer season.
