July 2, 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'm Not the God of Medicine" is a low-budget comedy movie, why are so many celebrities coming to support it?"
As celebrities continued to appear, reporters on the side of the venue also responded. No, the camera never stopped and the flash kept flashing
"Gu Wei is not only the producer but also a guest star in the movie "Wei Tian Xia", so of course everyone gave it a thumbs up
Wow~ Lu Han and Huang Zitao also arrived, but it's a pity that Guan Xiaotong didn't come.
Since announcing their relationship, the two have rarely appeared together in public, but they have always been 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?"< br>
“People think differently, and people may not care.”
In the venue, Gu Wei kept receiving friends who came to cheer.
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.
"Brother Jing, what have you been busy with lately?"
"What have I been busy with? I've been staying at home these days." Wu Jing came alone, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans, casual and casual.
Gu Wei was a little surprised.
“No, you are so popular now, how can you be idle?”
Wu Jing waved his hand.
"I have no idea for a new movie at the moment, and I haven't received any suitable scripts during this period.
There are quite a few people asking me to film, but most of the scripts are difficult to describe.
Let's There is no shortage of money now, and I don’t want to take on roles and make bad movies casually.”
The two of them chatted without deliberately speaking in a low voice. After Wu Jing said that, Gu Wei didn’t feel much, but Huang Xiaoming, who was not far away, heard this. I twitched unconsciously.
“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 a break now.”
"I haven't been idle all the time. I went to Brother Qian's crew a few days ago to help him play a guest role."
"Oh? Brother Qian is acting in a movie again?"
Gu Wei was curious. asked.
"Yes, this time he is not only the male protagonist but also the producer of the movie. He plays a homeroom teacher, and I helped him play a guest role as a physical education teacher."
When he said this, Gu Wei thought Which movie is it? It should be the youth campus movie [Teacher·Good] that has a good reputation.
Yu Xia also won the Best Actor Award at the Macau Film Festival for this film.
Although it is a small film festival, it is still the best actor.
From the story to the shooting techniques, the movie is actually average. There is nothing outstanding about it, but Yu Chao's performance is very recognized by the audience.
Speaking of which, Guo Degang and Yu Sui are completely different from each other when it comes to making movies.
As soon as Lao Guo showed up, he knew that this movie must be a bad movie, and his acting was not very good. When he spoke his lines, it felt like he was talking about cross talk on stage.
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.
So, Lao Guo's reputation got worse and worse. In the end, no one approached him to film. Instead, Yu Zhuan thrived in the film and television industry. Everyone knew that he had good acting skills and was popular with the audience. Many directors Everyone is willing to find him.
“How is the post-production of [The Wandering Earth] going?”
“I called Guo Fan a few days ago and he said that it has reached the final stage, but it needs to be turned into a film. It will probably take another two months to come out.”
“It was so difficult to shoot this movie, I really want to see what the final effect will be.”
Wu Jing sighed after hearing Gu Wei's words.
He and Guo Fan hit it off immediately, and they quickly became good buddies after filming.
He saw how much effort Guo Fan put into this movie, so he was very curious about what the finished movie would look like.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down,” Gu Wei said with a smile.
“If you are really curious, I will contact you as soon as the finished film is released to give you a sneak peek!”
"Then it's settled!"
Wu Jing patted Gu Wei on the shoulder and said with a smile.
With all the guests present, the premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" officially begins.
Although Gu Wei was the boss, he did not dominate the show and gave up the leading role to director Wen Muye.
Except for the celebrity guests and some invited film critics and media, the rest of the audience were college students.
The crew set the premiere venue at Tsinghua University after careful consideration.
[I Am 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.
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.
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 "Love Saint". 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 Holy Love", 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? ’
Normal comedy is not limited to three minutes, at least there will be no shortage of funny scenes. 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 shop played by Xiao Yang, lives a miserable life. There is no business in the shop, his father is critically ill, and he cannot raise enough money for the surgery.
My ex-wife is pregnant with a child from a wealthy man, and she 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, the doubtful Cheng Yong went to India and started his career as a drug dealer, but he unexpectedly turned around.
Although there are no laughs, 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, and formed a medicine selling small business. 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 that something might happen, so he backed down and planned to give up 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 have been ill for three years, my house is deprived of food, and my family is ruined by me.
If you take him away, we will all die. I don’t want to die, I want to live.”
Police In the bureau, watching the scene between the sick old lady and Gu Wei made Zhou Yang's nose sore.
He had watched too many movies and he hadn't felt this way in a long time.
Not only that. He and many people in the audience were secretly crying.
"I have been selling medicine for so many years, and I have found that there is only one disease in the world - the disease of poverty!"
This is what Zhang Changlin, a counterfeit medicine dealer, said to Cheng Yong, who advised him to stop in moderation. He is not a god and cannot be saved. 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.
At the end of the movie, 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 is advertised.
It’s just so much better, I haven’t seen such an excellent domestic movie for a long time’
