"That's what I think. As for Cheng Yong, he is a complete loser. He lives a useless life. He runs a sacred oil store, which is not a decent job, but there is no business in the store. His father is critically ill and he can't raise enough money for the surgery.
.The ex-wife is pregnant with a child by a rich man, and she wants to take away the custody rights of his son.
It can be said that, simply looking at him, he is a loser who is incapable of being a dutiful son, incompetent as a father, unqualified as a husband, and unsuccessful as a boss!
The first time he smuggled drugs, it actually happened naturally because he had no choice.
If anyone had been in the same situation as Cheng Yong, if he saw such an opportunity, he would have taken the risk as if he were grabbing a life-saving straw.
Therefore, he is a quite vulgar person.
The second time, he made enough money, and he always knew that what he was doing was illegal, so he got out without saying a word.
This is the most common choice to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If it were other people, they would probably make this choice.
I have money, why do I still do this kind of thing? I can make money doing other things, and it’s safe!
The third time, Lu Youyi died, it was not because of conscience, but out of guilt for his friends. After all, he could get rich because Lu Youyi found him a way in the first place and let him know that such a thing could be done.
make money!
As for sympathy for leukemia patients? I think this is something that any "ordinary person" can have, right?
The last time, I sold medicine even though I was cheating. Why? Was it for these patients? I think, maybe, but it was more because Peng Hao died and he died to protect him.
Therefore, he can't look back, or at this time, he is actually still an ordinary person, and his sympathy for the patients, coupled with Peng Hao who died for him, if he does not do it but chooses to quit, then probably
He has to live in the shadows his whole life, so he has to do it.
Even in the end, he was sentenced!
I think if we had the experiences that Cheng Yong had, there would be a high probability that we would do the same thing as him. Therefore, I say that he is actually an ordinary person! What he did was the normal behavior of an ordinary person after encountering those things.
Reaction.
When he owes money, he owes his life, so he can only repay it with his life!"
I have to say that Yang Shu’s perspective on interpreting the character is indeed somewhat different.
But does what he said make sense?
It definitely makes sense!
But there are no ifs in this world, because no one has had an experience like Cheng Yong, so naturally he cannot become Cheng Yong, but what Cheng Yong did is indeed a change that is more in line with an ordinary person's mental journey.
But this also just shows that this story is indeed very down-to-earth and true.
Li Yi suspected that Yang Shu was trying to flatter him, but he had no evidence.
If a realistic-themed movie can make people feel that it is what ordinary people would do when they encounter it, it means that the story is very natural and very real!
"Old Shu, you are really good at flattering me. You can't even leave a trace behind!" Chen Wen immediately thought of this.
"Why am I trying to flatter you? What did I say?" Yang Shu looked confused. His acting skills were really high. Of course, it's possible that he really thought so!
The starring cast of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was decided at this small gathering.
The other characters, on the other hand, are easier to solve.
For example, the issue of screenplay approval.
After Li Yi wrote "Garlands Under the High Mountains", it can be said that he was registered in it.
If it were another director, there might really be some problems, but the review of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" went through very quickly.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that although the theme of this movie is a bit sharp, how sharp can it be compared to "Garland Under the Mountain"?
The script has been reviewed, the main actors are all together, and Zhuo Yixiong has returned to his most comfortable position - the crew's butler!
The preparation of the film is not fast, but it is very fast.
As for the main actors, Li Yi doesn't need to worry about them at all. There is no doubt about the professionalism of Chen Wen and them.
For example, Chen Wen, in order to understand the character of Zhang Changlin, went to the prison to learn from a few prisoners who had been there because of similar things.
Although there are lines from Zhang Changlin in the script, he also needs to understand what kind of people are in this industry, right?
Another example is that Chu Xuexiang hired a pole dancing teacher to train her in pole dancing, and she also went to nightclubs to watch pole dancing performances every day!
Another example is Lin Yunbin and Zhou Guo.
Lin Yunbin wanted to play the role of a policeman, so he found connections to experience life.
Zhou Guo, in addition to trying to lose weight, also went to find patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. After all, he needed to play a man suffering from leukemia, so he had to know what they usually look like. Acting is never
It can be performed out of imagination.
The same is true for Ji Xianming, and in order to play the role of a priest well, he went to a church to find a priest and observe the priest's daily life, such as how to say mass, words and deeds, etc.
If you play a priest, you can't practice like a Taoist priest, right?
Without understanding any profession, it is difficult to truly demonstrate it.
Wait, wait! They don't need Li Yi to speak, they will do these things by themselves.
The preparation progress of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is advancing day by day.
On the other hand, Li Yi was busy with other things.
It's just a matter of co-production.
Because James Dean from Dean Films came to China in person, it was obvious that he was more urgent than Li Yi imagined.
Probably because he was really eager to open up the situation in China, James Dean also showed his sincerity this time.
In the end, Li Yi got involved with China Film Group. After all, if China Film Group was involved in co-productions, it would be a lot less troublesome.
Zhao Guangming also attaches great importance to this co-production.
According to Zhao Guangming's words, we hope that Li Yi can successfully break the ice for the co-production and find a bright road for the co-production.
The final negotiation went extremely smoothly.
There are six major investors, including China Film Group, Li Yi's Yixing Film and Television, and Oceanwide Film and Television. In North America, in addition to Dean Films and an associated investment company, Li Yi asked Xu Nannan to do it in North America.
company.
The Asian and domestic distribution will be jointly distributed by Oceanwide Films and China Film.
Naturally, Dean Pictures is responsible for distribution in North America and even Europe.
Since "A Dog's Purpose" was invested by multiple parties, Li Yi was naturally not polite, and his remuneration was based on that of top Hollywood directors.
But because "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is about to start filming, this movie can only be postponed.
However, preliminary preparations can be started.
For example, the early stage viewing, etc., as well as the preliminary formation of the crew, etc.
Dean Pictures will arrange an assistant director and a producer, while Li Yi directly brings Zhang Ranran and Luo Xiaobing from "A Story More Sad Than Sad".
They even directly asked them to find actors and conduct preliminary screening!
If it were other directors, they might be worried about losing power, but for Li Yi, in "A Dog's Purpose" he could decide everything with just one word.
Therefore, he is happy to delegate power to them, such as casting. If they really dare to have any evil intentions, even if they select some candidates, Li Yi can directly reject them completely. In China, at least Zhang Ranran and
Luo Xiaobing will definitely do these things more attentively.
As for North America, it might be hard to tell, but Li Yi didn't care, because "A Dog's Purpose" is his Li Yi movie!
