"In life, each of us is ordinary, ordinary to the point of being insignificant, but we also have the right to survive. An ordinary person can sometimes do some extraordinary things and change the world!"
This passage is the opening line of the script "I am the God of Medicine".
This was not something Shen Mu came up with on his own, but was given by the system. It is a classic that has been verified by the market in another world.
Ordinary people do extraordinary things, this is the core of "I am the God of Medicine".
Compared with these ordinary people, those patients who are terminally ill and need medication to survive, but ultimately bankrupt themselves because of high-priced drugs, are much more pitiable.
I Am the God of Medicine tells the story of a group of ordinary people who, through their own efforts, did something absolutely extraordinary and influenced the country's health care reform policy.
If Xu Maoshan originally had an inclination to choose to cooperate with Wu Tianci, then after silently reading the script, his mind has completely changed.
Even this script made Xu Maoshan's blood boil with excitement.
The protagonist in the script changes from a profit-seeking businessman to a hero who benefits countless patients. It is definitely a classic.
Xu Maoshan's character is that of a lively and cheerful person with a firm heart.
Several comedies he has produced all have a core of telling the truth about life.
But he suddenly discovered that in front of the script he was holding in his hands at this moment, the comedy that he had once claimed to be a classic was so worthless.
This is a truly wonderful script with a strong core.
At that moment, Xu Maoshan had a strong desire to do his best to interpret the character with great contrast between before and after.
It seems that only in this way can you truly bring out your acting skills.
This is not a role that an ordinary actor can grasp. It requires countless real-life experiences and the cultivation of a real actor.
If it weren't for this script, Wu Tianci's script would be considered a classic, but I'm afraid of comparisons in everything, and in comparison with these two, it's clear how superior it is.
It seems that the script that was considered brilliant in Xu Maoshan's eyes just now is boring now.
This is exactly the same as Jiang Shangyan's reaction back then.
At that time, Jiang Shangyan also read Wu Tianci's script and felt that it was a good drama that could help him make a good comeback.
But when Jiang Shangyan read the script of Langya Bang, he realized what kind of gap there was between the two. It was not a script of the same level at all.
Xu Maoshan also had such a feeling at this time, and he had never seen such a script before, and he had never thought of using a drama to influence national policy.
This director named Shen Mu not only dares to think, but also dares to do it.
Xu Maoshan has reason to believe that if this thing is really done, it will definitely become a milestone in the film industry.
It can even change the current trend of entertainment first in film and television works in the entertainment industry, making people feel that making TV series and movies is also meaningful, and it is not a group of actors pretending to be stupid and crazy on stage.
And from another perspective, the real core of this movie is to benefit those patients who are terminally ill and can only rely on drugs to maintain their lives.
If those expensive drugs imported from abroad could be included in medical insurance, how many people could be saved?
It is said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Xu Maoshan has never felt like this at this moment that he has the potential to become the savior.
It was Shen Mu's script that gave him a chance to change his destiny.
If this drama can really be successfully produced and really affect national policies, then no one will question Xu Maoshan's character, let alone his acting skills.
He used practical actions to prove that he was not a person of bad character.
At least those patients who can benefit from the policy will be grateful to Xu Maoshan for the rest of their lives.
"Director Shen, compared to your layout, Xu feels inferior!"
After about half an hour, Xu Maoshan finally closed the script.
He closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, and finally took a long breath. This comment made Wu Tianci's expression change drastically.
In fact, Wu Tianci is not a fool. From Xu Maoshan's reaction just now, he can already tell that the script given by Shen Mu is probably a little unusual.
This scene made Wu Tianci feel familiar. He thought that Jiang Shangyan's reaction at the Daoge Western Restaurant was exactly the same as Xu Maoshan's at this moment.
For a moment, Wu Tianci felt that he and Shen Mu were natural enemies.
Why is this guy everywhere? Is this guy here to go against me on purpose?
Especially when he heard such high praise from Xu Maoshan, Wu Tianci instantly felt a sense of hostility.
No matter what, he didn't believe that the script he created with such a strong team and painstaking efforts could not compare to a young boy like Shen Mu who was a professional director?
No matter how wonderful Shen Mu's script is, his own script is not bad either.
What do you think, Xu Maoshan, you seem to be leaning towards Shen Mu now?
"Director Shen, do you think this movie will really change anything?"
Xu Maoshan didn't pay attention to Wu Tianci's face at all, but asked such a question with a somewhat expectant look, which made Wu Tianci even more itchy.
If possible, Wu Tianci really wants to snatch the script from Xu Maoshan's hands and take a quick look at it.
Let’s see what kind of script would make Xu Maoshan have such a reaction?
"It all depends on people. Don't you want to give it a try, Mr. Xu?"
It was naturally impossible for Shen Mu to answer Xu Maoshan's question directly, but his rhetorical question undoubtedly aroused Xu Maoshan's already somewhat cold heart.
Try these three words, it can be said that all Xu Maoshan's thoughts are exhausted at the moment.
As Shen Mu said, if he doesn't give it a try, I'm afraid he will regret it for the rest of his life.
"Okay, then I'll walk this road with Director Shen!"
Xu Maoshan patted the table gently with his right hand and heard him say excitedly: "If this thing is done, not only will it be famous for a long time, but it will at least benefit several generations, right?"
"Mr. Xu, what on earth are you talking about?"
Wu Tianci on the side finally couldn't help but asked.
This is just making a movie, so why does it involve something about "lasting a lasting memory" and something about "bringing benefit to generations"?
This is a matter of structure. In the past, Shen Mu might not have reached such a height, but after the script "I am the God of Medicine", he has undoubtedly improved.
Back in the Go Academy, when Shen Mu rejected Ge Yunhe's invitation, he actually said something similar, but at that time he obviously did not have such an awareness.
In the past, Shen Mu's ambition was, at best, to use his photographed works to achieve the purpose of cultural inheritance.
For example, from the drama "Langya Bang", you can learn a lot of ancient etiquette, and you can also learn some principles of life. This is a kind of cultural inheritance.
But the scope of the movie "I Am the God of Medicine" is much larger.
It is speaking out for the countless terminally ill patients who have no money to buy medicines and trying to benefit one side.
As Xu Maoshan said, for those who are terminally ill but can only wait to die because imported drugs are too expensive, this may be their dream hope of survival.
"Director Wu, you don't understand!"
However, Wu Tianci's answer was only these three words, which made him seem to be greatly humiliated, and he once again had the urge to grab the script and take a look.
Fortunately, Wu Tianci still retained a trace of reason. He knew that if he really did this, Shen Mu's urinary nature would definitely make him unable to eat and walk around.
The other party may be worried about not being able to seize the opportunity. Wu Tianci cannot just give the opportunity to the other party.
But he was really curious. He, a well-known film director from the Dragon Kingdom, could actually make Xu Maoshan say "you don't understand". This was simply an insult to him.
"Director Wu, I'm sorry!"
At this time, Xu Maoshan finally came to his senses and realized that his wording was inappropriate.
A trace of apology appeared on his face, and he pushed Wu Tianci's script back to the other party.
"Humph, I really don't know what to say!"
At this point, Wu Tianci also knew that he had failed again, and was defeated again at the hands of Shen Mu.
So he immediately stood up and let out a cold snort.
Wu Tianci knew that if he stayed here any longer, he would only make people laugh in vain.
But before leaving, he couldn't help but take a deep look at the script in Xu Maoshan's hand.
No matter how angry he was, he still had a hint of extreme curiosity.
I’m curious about what kind of script it was that made Xu Maoshan reject him without hesitation?
But no matter what, Wu Tianci was destined not to see the content of the script, so he could only turn around and leave in anger.
"Director Wu, remember to buy your own items!"
However, just when Wu Tianci walked to the door, a loud voice came from behind, and it turned out to be the woman named Ye Lan.
This made him stagger and almost fall to the ground.
Especially when he saw the strange looks from around him, Wu Tianci wanted to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
To be honest, Wu Tianci really forgot to pay the bill. As a well-known director in Longguo, others usually paid for meals in the past. He had never taken the initiative to pay the bill.
Actors from Long Kingdom, even some top-notch artists, would come to him and beg Director Wu to give him a role.
Under such circumstances, why does he need to spend his own money to eat?
Today's breakfast can be considered a chance encounter, and Wu Tianci did take the initiative to find Xu Maoshan.
But in Wu Tianci's heart, he was giving Xu Maoshan a chance. The other party should be grateful to him. It shouldn't be a problem to treat him to breakfast, right?
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this in the end. Wu Tianci, who was so angry just now, forgot about paying the bill. He didn't think about it, but Ye Lan said it out.
At this time, in the eyes of others, Wu Tianci looked like an old man eating a king's meal.
This makes him look like a well-known director from the Dragon Kingdom. Where should he put it?
