Chapter 304 Breaking through everyone’s tear ducts
Inside the cinema.
The laughter and excitement caused by Xu Xiyu's pole dancing have long since disappeared.
Instead, there was a solemn and depressing atmosphere.
Counterfeit drug dealer Zhang Changlin threatened Cheng Yong with a report, causing Cheng Yong to transfer the agency rights to Zhang Changlin and use the money he earned to open a clothing factory.
Unfortunately, Zhang Changlin ran away immediately after being confiscated by the police.
As a result, Lu Yiyi and other patients were without medicine for a long time.
One day a year later, Lu Yiyi's wife appeared in front of Cheng Yong with a haggard face and asked him if he could still get Indian medicine.
This kind of plot makes the audience's heart sink to the bottom.
And the more naked and straightforward tragedy will soon appear in front of everyone's eyes.
On the screen, Cheng Yong was sitting in front of the hospital bed. When the camera turned, Lu Yiyi also appeared.
How to describe his state.
The face was so haggard that it had no trace of blood and was still covered in black and blue, with the unhealthy flush around the eyes, the oxygen tube hanging on the nose, and the cracked and peeling mouth.
Needless to say, everyone can see that this is a state of "life is not long".
Seeing him in this state, he still forced himself to smile at Cheng Yong just like when the two met for the first time, and shouted: "Brother Yong."
Li Shanling couldn't help but close her eyes and glanced over. This was the scene she couldn't stand seeing the most in her life.
But it was useless to turn his head away.
Because what follows is the scene that Xu Xiyu personally found most heart-wrenching when watching the movie.
That's when the nurse came to debridement Lu Yiyi.
There is no anesthesia for debridement, just use knives and scissors to clean off his slough.
Lu Yiyi's heart-wrenching screams of pain passed through the theater's speakers and reached the ears of all the audience present.
Li Shanling, who closed her eyes tightly after hearing this, couldn't help but reached out and grabbed her sister's clothes tightly. When Lu Yiyi screamed, she shook. She didn't know whether it was because of fear or because she couldn't bear it.
There are countless viewers who have the same behavior as her.
Even Qi Xiangyang showed a hint of unbearable expression at this time.
Of course, some of the male actors who came to watch the movie felt a little bit convinced and helpless at this moment.
While watching the movie, they kept asking themselves, if it were them, could they perform better than Meng Chengming?
Except for some who have real ability and some who are inexplicably confident.
The answer most actors got was basically no.
They even felt that they shouldn't discuss whether Meng Chengming's performance was good or not. Because, in the movie, he is Lu Yiyi himself, without any trace of acting.
In fact, it’s not just him, but also Cheng Yong, Liu Sihui, and some major characters like Zhang Changlin. As the movie progresses, it seems that no one can feel a trace of performance on them.
It's like something that really happened in 2002, but was made into a documentary.
As the movie continues, Cheng Yong decides to go to India again to buy medicine.
Lu Yiyi has entered the stage of acute malignant transformation, and his wife wants to try again, using bone marrow transplantation.
This treatment has a low success rate and is extremely expensive.
Lu Youyi didn't want to drag his family down anymore, nor did he want to endure the torture anymore. In the middle of the night, he endured the pain and got up from the hospital bed. He had lost only a few hairs.
He gently caressed his sleeping son, and then looked at his wife, who was getting more and more haggard from taking care of him.
There was reluctance, shame, relief, and a myriad of other emotions in his expression that were hard to describe.
The camera turned to show Cheng Yong coming out of the pharmacy after buying medicine.
On the street, someone held a smoke cannon and sprayed disinfectant smoke. In the smoke, two statues of gods were pushed slowly past him.
One is Shiva and the other is Kali.
These two statues have many meanings in India, but they have one thing in common, which is destruction and rebirth.
However, at this time, the audience basically did not recognize who these two statues were.
But as a director, Guan Jinfeng didn't even recognize the statue.
It didn't affect that when he saw this paragraph, he couldn't help but pat his thigh and cursed in a low voice: "Damn, are you crazy? Are you really that strong?"
"What's so strong?" The male protagonist of "Falling into the Abyss" sitting next to him asked in confusion.
He is an idol-turned-actor and doesn’t really understand these things.
Guan Jinfeng explained: "In this section, the expressiveness of montage and camera language is used to the extreme. Don't forget what the movie is called? It's called "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!
This scene not only highlights the theme and symbolizes Cheng Yong's transformation, but also leaves a lot of room for the audience to interpret or even over-interpret. ”
"So?" The male protagonist still didn't understand.
This "so" made Guan Jinfeng twitch the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: So this is the difference between art and ordinary movies. This is a good movie worth watching over and over again.
But he didn't bother to explain anymore. He just felt that he was stressed out.
There was only one thought in my mind: Could this be the scene arranged by Xu Xiyu? Why is he so good at such a young age?
But as the movie's plot progresses, he can't help but think too much.
In other words, he simply doesn't have any more time to think about it now.
When a director sees a good movie, he will also be immersed in it.
After Lu Yiyi died, Cheng Yong decided to buy medicine in large quantities again. When the group leader wearing a mask asked him how much he would sell it this time.
Cheng Yong's answer was: "500."
As soon as this line came out, many viewers who were in tears seemed to be hit.
But it’s obviously not yet time for the audience to really burst into tears.
The police were forced by laws, regulations and pressure from Glenin Pharmaceuticals to track down Indian generic drugs. The medicine Cheng Yong brought was confiscated, and the police hoped that these patients could turn out to be the people who sold the medicine.
As a result, one of the most famous scenes in this movie was staged in the police station.
The sick old lady begged police investigator Cao Bin to stop pursuing Indian medicine. She had taken 40,000 bottles of genuine medicine for three years, and her house was gone and her family was in ruins.
Finally, you have a cheap medicine, but you insist that it is fake. How can they not know whether the medicine is fake or not?
"Huh~~ I can't do it anymore." Li Shanling felt that she really couldn't do it.
She raised her head slightly and kept fanning her eyes with her hands, but no matter how fast she fanned her hands, the wind she fanned could not dry away the tears in her eyes.
Li Shangrong next to her was in sync with Li Shanling's movements.
While fanning, she leaned into Li Shanling's ear and whispered: "I finally understand why he was so indifferent to "Falling into the Abyss" when he met us that day.
They have the capital to be confident. No matter how many tricks "Into the Abyss" uses, I don't think it can beat this movie. If this movie is screened for a few days, its reputation will explode. ”
"I think so too." Li Shanling immediately nodded in agreement.
Then he added: "Sister, I just said that I found the wrong person. Since Lu Qinyao followed him, it doesn't matter how many good songs she got. In this kind of movie, she plays the heroine and is the co-producer. She It’s about to take off, really.”
Hearing this, Li Shangrong said worriedly: "I'm worried now whether he is willing to do it or not."
As soon as these words came out, Li Shanling slapped her tearful hand.
Yes, Xu Xiyu is not Qi Xiangyang, who wants to take her away so eagerly. Even if he is willing, Xu Xiyu may not be willing to pay attention.
Especially judging from his attitude during the two meetings with him, he didn't seem to be interested in her at all.
Thinking of this, her mood, which was already a little dull because of the movie, became even more dull.
Immediately afterwards, the plot of the movie hit her dull mood again.
The man who was originally afraid of dragging down his family came to Shanghai alone to wait for death. Because of Cheng Yong, Huang Mao, who shaved his head and bought a ticket to go home to see his parents, died.
Died while going to get medicine for the second time with Cheng Yong;
Died when hit by a Greining Company truck.
This incident caused Cao Bin, who had been torturing himself, to completely collapse. He ran into the hospital with Huang Mao covered in blood, as helpless as a child.
Cheng Yong also collapsed. He rushed to the hospital after learning that Huang Maosheng was dead. Angrily, he questioned Cao Bin: "He is only 20 years old. He just wants to survive. What crime is he guilty of? You tell me, what crime is he guilty of!!"
There are no bad guys, no one in this scene is a bad guy.
But tragedy still happened.
Seeing this, the screenwriter of "Into the Abyss" slumped helplessly on the chair in the theater, with an indescribable despair on his face.
When "Pengcheng Thirty" and "Crazy" collided before, he didn't feel this way, but he just felt that Xu Xiyu won a little bit.
He even thought that if he was the screenwriter of "Pengcheng Thirty Years Old", he might be able to win against Xu Xiyu.
But now after watching "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
The screenwriter directly doubted life.
If "Into the Abyss" can be considered a good movie, then "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is heading towards a masterpiece.
How does this compare?
The most important thing is that even for this good "Falling into the Abyss", the idea was stolen from Xu Xiyu.
Damn it!
Damn me!
I...you...hey...forget it.
In life, what I fear most is comparison.
Comparison is bad, comparison is sinful, comparison is the source of trouble.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, after walking in the deep Prajnaparamita for a long time, he saw that the five aggregates are all empty, and he survived all the hardships.
Amitabha~~
Here, the screenwriters have begun to recite the "Heart Sutra".
Du Chenshuang on the other side was really shocked.
Although his original idea was that "I'm Not the God of Medicine" would be more powerful, the problem is that now it seems that it is too powerful.
This made Du Chen feel jealous instinctively.
Why?
Is this reasonable?
Why is Xu Xiyu the grandson?
Is it possible that there really is such a genius in this world who is born to work in the entertainment industry, and he can start anything related to entertainment, whether it is music or film and television dramas, or even a company?
Since there is such a genius, why can't I be the one to do it?
God has given the entertainment industry ten bowls of rice, and Xu Xiyu has eaten eleven bowls. Everyone still owes him one bowl, right?
As Du Chenshuang doubted his life, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" gradually came to an end.
India, under pressure, shut down pharmaceutical factories.
But medicines can still be bought in pharmacies. If Cheng Yong needs it, the owner of the pharmaceutical factory can buy it back from the pharmacy at the retail price, which is 2,000.
After experiencing Huang Mao's death, Cheng Yong decided to sell the medicine one last time, this time regardless of the price or cost.
When Liu Sihui asked him how much he sold it for, his answer was: 500.
This is the second time this price appears in the movie.
This time, even the tearful audience members felt their scalps numb and their hearts aching.
When I saw Liu Sihui selling medicine to patients across the country through QQ groups;
When the entire screen is filled with group chat boxes;
When QQ’s iconic “didi-didi” sound keeps ringing;
When countless faces wearing masks cover the entire screen.
Even Qi Xiangyang's nostrils began to dilate.
Anyone who has ever held back tears knows that widening of the nostrils means that they can no longer hold back tears.
If he is like this, then naturally some of the other viewers will cry and hold it in.
However, this kind of movie that can "pierce the tear ducts" can't be held back even if you want to.
Cheng Yong was arrested.
Also sentenced.
The most classic scene of this movie also appeared in front of the Blue Star audience at this moment.
As the police escorting him said "drive slowly", Cheng Yong turned his head from the car and looked out the window. He saw that the roads on both sides were full of leukemia patients who came to take him away.
They all wore masks, but when the camera scanned them, they took off their masks one by one.
"Damn it, you don't play like this." Qi Xiangyang really couldn't hold himself any longer.
Just when he finished speaking, Lu Yiyi and Huang Mao appeared in the screen. The moment he saw these two people smiling at the camera, Qi Xiangyang lowered his head.
Stop watching.
To die.
Who the hell can withstand this?
At this moment, the sobs of other spectators became louder and louder, reaching Qi Xiangyang's ears.
If some movies are sensational, they are deliberately trying to make the audience cry.
The tears in this movie are the natural expression of deep love.
Li Shanling and Li Shangrong’s makeup is already stained.
Zhu Anyu's tears fell so big.
At this moment, the movie images in the eyes of all viewers are blurry.
Time passed by, and the movie ended with Cao Bin picking up Cheng Yong from prison and driving away.
The screen went black, but then lit up again.
Videos began to appear on the left side of the screen, with subtitles on the right side.
The video is a negotiation video between experts from the Medical Insurance Bureau and manufacturers, and the subtitles are the results of this negotiation.
In the process of national medical development, many high-priced drugs have been included in medical insurance and their prices have been driven down.
This makes it completely affordable for patients who originally couldn't afford it.
The reason why Xu Xiyu posted this is to tell these audiences.
Not only the folk have "medicine gods".
Officially, countless people are working hard and have achieved fruitful results.
Just when everyone was extremely moved and a little proud.
A prelude of music sounded, and the ending subtitles finally appeared.
At the same time, there were clips of Meng Chengming losing weight, Lu Qinyao practicing pole dancing, and some other tidbits.
Along with these scenes, Xu Xiyu's singing sounded.
"Maybe it's far away or yesterday~~
Here or on the other side~~
A long road full of joys and sorrows~~
People gather and people disperse~~
Let go of right and wrong to know the answer~~
Live bravely~~
There is no aura of God~~
You and I were born ordinary~~
…”
As soon as the song came out, Qi Xiangyang, Du Chenshuang, and even Guan Jinfeng blocked their ears.
Especially Qi Xiangyang, while plugging his ears, he secretly cursed: "You bitch, I forgot that you wrote better songs. You are a sinister villain, a shameless bastard, and you want to make everyone cry at the end of the film." Right? ”
Can't listen.
I really can’t listen.
If you listen to this kind of song at other times, you might just find it pleasant.
You should listen to it after watching "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
That would really fucking cost me my life.
They don’t want to be on the news later and say anything [The creators of "Falling into the Abyss" burst into tears watching "I'm Not the God of Medicine"]
Of course, they were so well disguised that other viewers would have no idea who they were.
Most importantly, no audience will pay attention to them.
Everyone's emotions, which had been gradually suppressed, could no longer be suppressed like a flood that burst the embankment after Xu Xiyu's singing came out.
The theater lights came on, and the audience was in tears.
