Chapter 223 I’m waiting for the medicine to save my life
After the opening ceremony, the promotion of Medicine God also began to lay the groundwork.

In fact, many people are still not optimistic about it. Although movies and TV series are both in the film and television industry, the difference is actually huge.

However, Su Bai's image of being sucked still made the audience curious about the movie.

For a time, the supporters and opponents had their own opinions on the Internet, and the quarrel was fierce.

Most people in the film industry actually don't know much about the television industry.

Speaking purely from an actor's perspective, film actors have much higher requirements for acting skills than TV dramas.

A TV series lasts for dozens of episodes, so the details are not too detailed.

But movies are different. They are basically only two hours long, and Hollywood blockbusters are only two and a half hours long.

To complete a complete narration of a story in 2 hours, the images must be detailed down to every frame.

What's more important is that for investors, there is a huge gap between whether a movie is good or not.

If a TV series has enough traffic stars and the like, even if the movie is average, as long as TV stations and video websites buy it, investors will basically make a sure profit. It’s just a matter of how much.

The investment in a movie may not necessarily be smaller than that in a TV series, but if the audience doesn't buy it, they may lose money.

Therefore, Su Bai entered the film industry just after a successful TV series. Many directors in the industry scorned him.

Especially that certain director who relies on his father to make a top-notch movie, and then it sucks again and again.

According to insiders, the director scolded Su Bai at a private party, "If you take too big a step, you will be bullshit," "Rich kids don't know what they can do, and their ambitions are as high as the sky," and so on.

He also despised the wave of Xu Shanzheng who acted in bad movies just to please capital.

The top directors in the entertainment industry, as well as some top-tier directors, are basically a type of capital themselves, so they don't have the same respect for Su Bai as a small star.

No matter how awesome Tianhua is, he can't cover the sky with one hand. Those great leaders naturally have their own connections and resources, and Su Bai can't do anything about them.

However, Su Bai didn't take the director's words seriously. To be honest, in Su Bai's heart, this director was far inferior to other directors at the same level. Not to mention the national master, even the small steel cannon was better than him.

A debut is the peak, and the ups and downs can completely describe the director's creative career.

The director of Blue Star has yet to make a film that relies on emotions to deceive actors into free money and make money from the audience.

Therefore, the total box office of more than 30 movies is less than 50 billion.

Su Bai's inner ambition was that this first film could surpass the total box office of all his works.

The movie "The God of Medicine" did not have enough publicity power on earth, and the early film schedule was pitiful. In the end, it was able to win a box office of 30 billion yuan in one fell swoop based on word-of-mouth.

Now on Blue Star, Su Bai is confident to do enough publicity and get enough film schedules, especially since Su Bai himself has brought such a large traffic, is it reasonable to set a target of 20 billion?
Now, uncle, let’s grow up in obscene ways, and then I’ll slap you in the face when I show up at the box office!
I don’t know what there is to be arrogant about for a great director who is forced to perform at a third-rate level.

Pooh!
The script reading went very smoothly. Su Bai didn't expect these actors to be so capable!

Although none of them are very famous actors except Xu Shanzheng, their professionalism is outstanding.

Moreover, Makino is extremely serious and responsible, which even makes Su Bai a little annoyed!
This product is too thin!
What a thief!

To be honest, if it wasn't for the sake of establishing a name in the film industry, Su Bai would have given up the director's chair to Makino.

With such an assistant director and this group of very dedicated actors, the lower limit of this movie has been raised very high.

The first official filming scene was the first meeting between Lu Yiyi, played by Su Bai, and Cheng Yong, played by Xu Shanzheng.

Cheng Yong had just been released from prison after he beat up his ex-wife and her lawyer because of the custody dispute.

I felt very irritable, but also a little helpless.

The ex-wife wanted to take the children to go abroad with her new boyfriend, but Cheng Yong refused to agree.

Driven by masculinity, even though he knows that he can't even support himself now, he still can't accept letting his children follow his ex-wife and stepfather.

The owner of the small hotel brought a "friend" to see Cheng Yong today.

"The first shot of the first scene is the first shot, action!"

Hitting the first board against the camera and exiting.

"Old Cheng!"

The owner of the small hotel opened the door of the "Indian Divine Oil" store and led Lu Yiyi into the store.

Lu Yiyi was wearing an old plaid jacket and a pair of gray trousers that had washed out and turned white, with a briefcase slung across his body.

Although the clothes are old, they are washed very clean.

He wore an old white cotton mask on his face, covering half of his face. The mask looked very thick, and it felt like it had more than one layer.

The hair is slightly oily and relatively long, and is combed into a side parting.

On the eyes is a pair of large metal-framed glasses.

Even people who are very familiar with Su Bai will find it difficult to recognize this person at a glance.

The handsome guy who used to be as strong as a calf is now so thin that he looks like he could be blown over by the wind!
He is very tall but has a hunched head and back. When I see him, I feel several things: cautious, humble, and poor.

Cheng Yong, who still had toothpaste on his mouth, opened the curtain and walked out, his face full of impatience.

Hotel owner: "Come on, let me introduce you to my old neighbor. His surname is Lu. Lu benefits."

Then he pointed at Cheng Yong and said to Lu Yiyi: "Boss Cheng."

When Lu Yiyi saw Cheng Yong, he immediately lowered his head, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand and said warmly to Cheng Yong: "Hello, hello."

Cheng Yong ignored his outstretched hand, nodded slightly, turned around and frowned and asked the innkeeper, "What's the matter?"

He picked up the towel on his shoulder and wiped the toothpaste from his mouth.

Makino and several other actors behind the director's seat couldn't help but nodded. Xu Shanzheng is indeed a very mature top actor.

A vivid image of a down-and-out middle-aged man.

Just the simple action of wearing toothpaste and wiping with a towel around his neck makes it easy for people to fall into the drama.

The owner of the small hotel chuckled and said: "He wants to ask you to bring some medicine for him in India." Cheng Yong raised his head: "Bring medicine? Smuggling?"

Hotel owner: "Aren't you all smugglers?"

"You guys can talk among yourselves, I'm leaving."

With that said, the innkeeper walked out.

Lu Yiyi nodded gratefully to the little boss, and then still stood there cautiously.

Cheng Yong chased after him, grabbed the little boss and asked, "I tell them everything!"

The little boss glared and said, "Aren't you fucking short of money?! I've got a business for you, and the price can be negotiated!"

As he spoke, he glared at Cheng Yong with an expression of hatred and disdain: "Let's talk!"

Turn around and leave.

Cheng Yong stayed where he was, looking a little helpless and hesitant as he looked into the store.

Makino: "The camera zoomed in, staring at Su Bai's face!"

The camera turned to Su Bai's face.

There was a strong expectation in his eyes, and his movements were still cautious, with his back raised.

Lu Yiyi saw Cheng Yong turning to look at him, slowly taking off the cotton mask, and then took off a white medical mask with a medical blue mask inside.

He tried his best to smile politely and flatteringly.

It’s as simple as taking off the mask and smiling.

The humility, flattery, and bitterness of a little person are vividly portrayed!

Wang Yanhui, who was standing behind Makino, couldn't help but nod, "Director Su's acting skills are incredible. He really doesn't look like Yazi who has only acted in one TV series."

Tan Zhu couldn't help but nod. At this moment, Su Bai once again conquered the other actors with his acting skills instead of his background and identity.

"Crack!"

The simple first encounter ended like this.

Su Bai and Xu Shanzheng immediately walked towards Muye, "How are you, Old Mu, are you okay?"

Makino: "That's great, Director Su! I really underestimated your acting skills before, but this performance is really good! Brother Shan Zheng can't say enough!"

Generally, in order to seek psychological comfort, the crew will try to choose a shot that is not too difficult to shoot in the first scene. It is best to be able to pass it in one shot.

Also to take a good sign.

Su Bai watched the filming content himself and felt that it was indeed pretty good and the characters were more fully portrayed.

"Okay, let's move on to the next step, fight for brother as we go~"

The scene returned to the store. Cheng Yong was fiddling with the two bottles of Indian sacred oil in his hands and sitting on the chair inside the cashier.

Lu Yiyi quickly took out an orange from his pocket and placed it on the table, "Eat an orange."

Cheng Yong said "cut" disdainfully, holding a cigarette in his right hand, and said with a disdainful expression: "Don't do this, you know you will be sentenced if you are caught smuggling drugs, right?"

After saying that, he stood up and started to fiddle with the things on the shelves.

Lu Yiyi said in a flattering tone from behind: "It won't happen."

"Why not? Besides, it's such a huge risk, so why don't you just give me 3 yuan?"

Lu Yiyi quickly looked over and said, "But this is a business opportunity!"

He took a few steps forward and followed Cheng Yong: "Boss, a bottle of domestic genuine medicine costs 2000 yuan, and a bottle of pirated medicine in India costs [-] yuan. The efficacy is exactly the same!"

"If you bring back more of this."

Cheng Yong: "Wait, wait, wait, the effects of the medicine are exactly the same?"

"The price difference is twenty times?"

Lu Yiyi nodded quickly.

Cheng Yong pulled Lu Yiyi away: "Gungungun."

Lu Yiyi: "It's true! I'm looking for a boss who has tested it!"

"I am a patient myself. If I can't bear the trouble, I will go there myself!"

Cheng Yong's expression was indifferent: "Even if you can't afford it, don't you have any relatives or friends?"

"To put it bluntly, I'm still afraid of getting caught! I won't do this kind of thing, you can find someone else."

Lu Yiyi still wanted to try to persuade him again, "No, you must be doing smuggling all the time."

Cheng Yong's expression changed and he interrupted: "Who is smuggling?!"

"I tell you I have never smuggled anything!"

"Of course not, you should go!"

Lu Yiyi did not give up, but still took out his mobile phone from his clothes with a flattering smile: "Then let's leave a phone number, okay?"

But Cheng Yong was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just looked at the computer and waved his hand.

Lu Yiyi directly picked up the pen and paper on the table and started writing.

"If you change your mind, just give me a call, okay?"

As he spoke, he respectfully placed the note in his hand in front of Cheng Yong.

"As for me, I'm waiting for the medicine to save my life."
