Preparations for "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are in full swing, and other roles have been quickly confirmed.
In fact, including brother-in-law Cheng Yong, who has a lot of roles, they are all relatively facial-looking characters.
The role of policeman Cao Bin, brother-in-law, was played by Zhou Yiwei without any major problems, but he was the only unsociable actor in the whole movie.
It is such down-to-earth characters such as Cheng Yong, Lu Yiyi, Huang Mao and Pastor Liu that can make a realistic commercial movie like "I'm Not the God of Medicine" more real and full-bodied.
For realistic themes, a very important point is to be realistic.
People like Cheng Yong, after reading it, or even without having to read it, when you are halfway through it, you will feel that they are people who exist in reality, and the others are people you have met in daily life, just like that.
Even if Zhang Changlin is not from the Medicine God team, the scene where he was promoting the sale of counterfeit medicine and trotting on the stage was simply amazing and couldn't be more real.
However, Cao Bin, who is surrounded by Yi Yi, is out of tune with them.
People have the impression that the police are the embodiment of justice and upright.
But in reality, police officers often stay up late, and there is always a kind of lingering fatigue on their bodies. At critical moments, he must step forward, but he may also be confused when encountering extreme danger.
Another characteristic is that the moment you put on the uniform, the police cannot become sentimental. After seeing them a lot, a cold face is the norm.
Liu Ye in "Rescue Mr. Wu" is the most like a policeman. He is a bit depressed because he is tired and stays up late. He speaks naturally. I always feel that the policemen I know are like this.
There is a scene in it, in which he climbs over the wall and sees his first reaction when the bad guy points a gun at him. The performance is a classic.
I was confused for a moment. The police are also human beings, and they can be scared.
As for Zhou Yiwei's performance, it's not that he wasn't good at it, it just didn't match up with the others, and it has nothing to do with his acting skills.
If in a movie, some people have a strong sense of life and others have a strong sense of drama, the film will appear a bit messy. For example, if Zhou Yiwei's rich and delicate performance is interspersed with the life-like performances of other actors, it will look a bit messy.
unexpected.
Another problem is the positioning of the character. He is a high-profile supporting actor who is neither good nor bad. He is also entangled with Cheng Yong, which makes this character particularly awkward.
In the split-shot script, Li Qian will slightly weaken this role, mainly as a brother-in-law.
A brother-in-law who has a bad relationship and is divorced is basically better than a stranger. There shouldn't be too many entanglements that are constantly being sorted out and messed up. He is still mainly a police officer, and some scenes have been slightly deleted.
For example, at the beginning, Cheng Yong wanted to beat his ex-wife and lawyer, but was caught at the police station. Originally, Cao Bin rushed in and was going to beat them. Li Qian changed his role to criminal police captain Cao Bin and came to the police station. He glanced at him first, and then asked the police from the police station to take him into the interrogation room.
, interrogated alone.
It was also a disguised form of revenge. Although it was not in accordance with the procedures for him, a criminal police captain, to come to the police station to interrogate a person who had fought and injured someone alone, it was a perfectly normal thing. Even if the superiors knew about it, they would turn a blind eye.
.
We are all brothers in the police system, otherwise Cao Bin would not smoke unscrupulously in the chief's office. The chief even brought a new ashtray, and Cao Bin did not look like a subordinate at all.
The police are also human beings, but interrogating alone will not do anything excessive. After all, this persona is the righteous detective captain.
The difference between beating immediately and interrogating alone is that in the former, Cao Bin's first identity is his brother-in-law, while in the latter, he always remains rational and puts his identity as a police officer first.
The adaptation of this detail can basically make this character less obtrusive.
As for the candidates, Duan Yihong is a bit old, and Wang Qianyuan is not young-looking either, and has a bit more of an evil streak.
Liao Fan, who has worked with him several times, has no problem with this kind of role.
As for other roles, medical representative Li Qian found Lu Entai to play, and this role is nothing special.
There is another character who plays a more important role, that is Lu Yiyi's wife. Although she does not appear much, she is still crucial. For example, the scene where Lu Yiyi dies is also a turning point for Cheng Yong.
Moreover, in several scenes, Xu Zheng was invited to be a guest, begging him to come out and continue selling generic drugs, and Lu Yiyi died at the end. If the performance was not performed well, it would be very bloody.
It can’t be too beautiful, it needs to be both restrained and outward, moisturizing quietly and explosively.
In the end, Wan Qian was selected among the graduates of the Magic City Theater Academy in previous years. She represented the school in many international drama festivals when she was a student. Xu Zheng also met Xu Zheng at the Magic City Drama Center.
She is also Hu Ge's senior sister, one year older than him, and she has a better understanding of cooperation with acquaintances.
The casting is basically finished, and the action is not slow.
As for the exterior scenes, we filmed several groups of people as soon as we started work after the Chinese New Year, and we asked China Film to coordinate on the Indu side.
Indo will enter the rainy season after May, so we have to finish filming the scenes in Indu before that, otherwise frequent rains will waste too much time.
As for the domestic locations, Li Qian called the production director Zhang Jun to the office.
"Mr. Zhang, is there any news about the location teams?"
"Director Li, I just wanted to report to you."
Zhang Jun said and quickly took out a USB flash drive and handed it over, "This is a photo from the outside. There are still a lot of buildings from the early century in the Magic City. There is no problem with the age. In addition, Jinling, Ninghang, Suzhou and other places around the Magic City are
In Asia, there are also some buildings that fit the temperament of the movie.”
Li Qian clicked on the photos and looked at them. In fact, there was no essential difference in the architecture in the south, but he had to go and see it in person.
"Help me arrange a flight and go for a tour tomorrow."
For realistic-themed movies, the background is also crucial and must have a sense of reality.
"Okay Director Li."
"By the way, we're going to hold a press conference...forget it, I'll just post it on Weibo."
Li Qian thought about it and decided to forget it. He held a press conference and it took half a day. He didn't have that much free time. It was the same as posting on Weibo. The attention would not be any less than the press conference.
Anyway, we still have to hold a press conference when we start up.
"Preparations for the new reality-themed film "I'm Not the God of Medicine" have begun and will be released to everyone this year."
In an ordinary sentence, I would like to mention Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Hu Ge and others.
A simple Weibo post, like thunder on the ground, exploded on Weibo!
"I went, what did I find? Li Qian's new movie has just started filming?"
"What a quick shooter! The new year has just passed and a new movie has been released!"
"After waiting for two months, I finally got to see you. Please analyze what kind of movie this is!"
"In previous years, new films were released in June and July. How come it's half a year earlier this year? Is it so fast?"
""I'm Not the God of Medicine"? It seems quite bluffing. Is it a story about taking a certain kind of medicine and then mutating?"
"Didn't you write about realistic themes? Isn't this Li Qian's style?"
“It’s not a science fiction blockbuster, bad review!”
"Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Hu Ge star in this lineup. There's something about this lineup. It won't be a comedy, right?"
"It's a realistic theme. There's a word for medicine. Could it be that it's about developing medicines to treat illnesses and save lives?"
"Uh... I suddenly had a bad feeling. What kind of movie is this?"
"Is it possible that it's about a doctor? But what's the use of realistic themes?"
"Is this Li Qian? His account won't be hacked, right?"
"It should be right, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and others also forwarded it, didn't they?"
"It's a bit baffling. Bai is so excited. What kind of movie is this?"
""I'm Not the God of Medicine," a title like this, just look at it from the other side. It tells the story of a god of medicine."
"Researching medicines? Medicines to treat cancer? But what's the point of doing this? We might as well be researching atomic bombs."
...
After breaking the box office record for Chinese-language films, Li Qian's new film has undoubtedly become the most anticipated film among movie fans.
As soon as "I Am Legend" was finished, Li Qian announced his new film. Such a quick move undoubtedly made the fans very excited.
However, when I saw the title of the film, I felt confused, and when I saw the realistic subject matter, I became even more confused.
However, this did not affect the spread of this Weibo on the Internet at all. For half a day, as people continued to repost it and the media reprinted it, the news that Li Qian's new film was confirmed spread throughout the Internet.
However, no one still knows what Li Qian was photographing.
Major companies were also nervous at this time and were asking everywhere for news about Li Qian's new film.
There was nothing they could do about it, the last movie exceeded 800 million, and this time Li Qian made even more lies than ever before, so they couldn't help but feel nervous.
The script was only filed with Optoelectronics three days ago. After the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Health responded that they agreed in principle to filming, Optoelectronics convened a review committee for discussion.
As for the procedure, if the discussion is completed in one day, wouldn't it seem too hasty, and it will definitely need to be discussed again and again.
Various companies don't keep an eye on Optoelectronics every day, and they didn't expect Li Qian to confirm a new film so quickly. Based on the situation in the previous two years, it would take at least two months.
It wasn't until Li Qian's Weibo was posted that major companies went to Optoelectronics to inquire about the details of the movie.
Although the content of the literary script has not been fully revealed, major companies soon knew the general content of the movie.
After knowing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
If Li Qian continues to make imaginative science fiction movies, he is basically determined to be the box office champion this year, with a box office of one billion is very likely. After several consecutive successes, even if he does not want to see it, he has to admit that in this
Li Qian is really awesome.
But the subject matter is realistic, and it is an unfamiliar subject like medicine, which makes people feel reassured.
Soon, the plot summary of the movie was also revealed.
"Exclusively revealed, Li Qian's new film "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a reality-themed movie related to medicine. It tells the story of a male health care product vendor who cannot afford the rent and brings back generic versions of sky-high-priced drugs from Indo and sells them privately, attracting the attention of the police.
The story of investigation, turning from selfishness to selflessness, fighting for the patient's right to live, and finally becoming the "God of Medicine"."
