Chapter 414: Social Discussion Caused by 'I'm Not the God of Medicine'
This year is a time when good films are coming out in large numbers. In the first half of the year, domestic films such as "Operation Red Sea", "Chinatown 2", "The Greatest City" and "One Hundred and Eight" all achieved very good results.
When "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released on July 5, the audience didn't have much expectations for it. Even though it starred Xu Zheng and Li Hyuk guest-starred, it didn't create much topic or enthusiasm.
However, the outstanding quality of the film quickly attracted audiences. Xu Zheng gave a phenomenal performance in it, and Li Hyuk's supporting role was also remarkable.
In fact, before the film was released, the excellent quality of the film was unanimously affirmed by media critics, and most of the audiences at the screenings also praised it. The producer's distribution strategy is that word of mouth is king, and word of mouth is used to maximize the audience's viewing of the film.
In fact, the film did achieve this. The film earned 60.235 million at the box office in the zero-hour screening, almost breaking the record of "The Ancient City" in the zero-hour screening. However, Li Hyuk's fans and fans should take the majority of the credit, idols
The movie was released as soon as possible and they went to watch it.
Later, on July 5, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" grossed 180 million at the box office that day and won the box office championship of the day. This first-day figure is not high, but it is only Thursday. The most important thing is that the film's reputation has completely spread
go out.
Several well-known ups on the site have expressed their appreciation for the film, and Li Hyuk's number one fan Maituo even said that the film has done the best it can, and a video was specially released for this purpose.
"Hello everyone, I'm Mai Tuo, one of the top 100 ups on site B. Today we're going to talk about the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine". Please note that the following movie review contains spoilers. Those who haven't seen it, please go away.
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a realism-themed film jointly invested and produced by Huali Film, China Pictures and Da Mi Studio. It is written by Han Jianu, directed by Wen Muye, and stars Xu Zheng, Li He, Tan Zhuo and Zhang Yu
, starring Wang Chuanjun and others, and the film has been released.
The author of this blog was fortunate enough to watch one of the screenings, and his biggest impression of the film was its authentic quality. It can be called one of the best Chinese-language films in the past decade.
The whole movie adopts a single-line narrative method, with no exquisite arrangement and no special effects. It is just like a person telling a story. I think the reason why the movie has received so many praises is that the movie is very real!
Most of the plots in the movie that impressed me deeply made me feel sad. I didn’t pay special attention to a person who had no money to see a doctor or a person who fell ill and brought down the whole family. This shows that at least most people around me
I am still lucky with my family. But after watching this movie, I think that just because I haven't seen those misfortunes, I can't subjectively think that they don't exist.
The hateful pharmaceutical company representatives and police officers in the movie did not see the pain of the patients or did not suffer such misfortunes, so they chose to turn a deaf ear to the suffering of these people and keep silent. In fact, regardless of the proportion, these unfortunate people are also
They account for a considerable number of people, but in this world that only talks about celebrities, real estate speculation, dreams and success, they are forgotten in the corner.
Everyone wants to live a good life, and those patients are the same, but unfortunately, all this requires money. This may be the most painful feeling when the policeman played by Lee Hyuk is silent and powerless when he pleads with the patient's aunt.
.
I have to say that the outstanding performances of the actors made me successfully integrate into the plot. So far, I think Li Hyuk has made the best film of his career except "La La Land".
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
Please forgive me for crying in the theater when watching this movie. The only two times I shed tears this year were both in the theater. Perhaps, everyone is independent and self-reliant, but selfishness and indifference is the disease of our era..."
Mai Tuo's film review can be said to be sincere and has received countless praises and praises. However, the debate about the film has just begun. In the film, there are four forces, patients, the protagonist Cheng Yong, the police, and pharmaceutical companies.
Cheng Yong started out as a middle-aged man whose family was ruined and his career failed. He met a leukemia patient Lu Yiyi by chance, and thus embarked on the road of smuggling generic drugs. At first, he had the purpose of making money, and smuggled generic drugs just to make money. However, during the smuggling process again and again, I saw the difficulties of people with leukemia and the families that were dragged down, and the kindness in my heart was inspired.
Later, Huang Mao's death stimulated him, and the scene in the hospital can be said to be the most emotional outburst in the entire film. From then on, Cheng Yong even smuggled generic drugs to leukemia patients at a loss, but in the end he still did not escape pursuit.
Among them, the poor leukemia patient, the cold-blooded pharmaceutical company, and the iron-faced police shocked the audience time and time again. Cao Bin, played by Li Hyuk, was also well received, mainly because of his good acting skills, which brought Cao Bin to life. The hesitation between duty and conscience was brought to the stage.
However, the film does not stop at the film itself. It also brings up huge social topics. With the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" reaching 100 million in its first week, it also aroused widespread discussion in society.
Tieba, Zhihu, Bilibili, Weibo, Hupu Forum, etc., are full of discussions among netizens. Some people think that the police and pharmaceutical company representatives are bad, and that Cheng Yong and the leukemia patient are innocent. Some people think that the police and pharmaceutical companies are on the same side. The company is right. If Cheng Yong didn't smuggle, there wouldn't be so many things.
Then the two sides kept arguing on the Internet, and no one could convince the other. There are other views that everyone is not wrong, but the imperfection of laws and regulations has brought about this tragedy.
With such a huge social response, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has transcended the movie itself and affected the real world. As a movie, it is undoubtedly successful, and the movie will also bring huge returns to investors.
However, the huge storm of public opinion also points to the cause of the conflict itself. You must know that being unable to afford sky-high-priced medicines is not something that only happens in movies, but it actually happens around us. People who cannot afford medicines or see a doctor cannot afford it. You can only wait for death, which is unthinkable in a people-oriented try.
China has a population of more than one billion, but no one has an answer for how many such unfortunate families there are. Therefore, public discussion focused on whether to push for changes to relevant regulations.
Fortunately, the relevant departments noticed this situation, and the relevant departments, which were already promoting medical reforms, followed suit and immediately introduced changes to the relevant regulations, in line with public opinion.
The revision of the regulations has made the public excited, and families suffering from illness have also received hope. The movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has done one thing, promoted social progress, which is an achievement that many movies have failed to achieve.
It can be said that the film has brought huge fame gains to the leading actors. Xu Zheng is no longer a fixed comedian, and Li Hyuk has also broadened his acting career and proved that he is not just a handsome guy.
This year is a harvest year. The consecutive hits of several movies have greatly increased the value of the copyright-holding studio, attracting more capital to seek cooperation.
As the central character, Li Hyuk gained both fame and fortune. Because of his huge fame, the National Theater specially approached him to recruit him, and no examination was required.
