"It is revealed that Li Qian's new film "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a realistic medical-themed movie. It is the first time that Li Qian has set foot in a real-life theme. Can Li Qian create another box office miracle?"
"For the first time, Li Qian focuses on a medical subject related to people's livelihood. Does the master commercial director want to transform?"
"According to information received from Optoelectronics, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" tells the inspirational story of a poor health care product store owner who, through his own efforts, saved countless leukemia patients and eventually became the "God of Medicine" praised by people.
As a commercial director, Li Qian is directing a realistic theme for the first time, and he is quite ambitious."
"Li Qian, who just broke the box office record for Chinese-language movies, has turned to reality-themed movies, which is surprising, but don't forget that two months ago, Li Qian personally said that the new film will hit the box office record of "Avatar", which is simply shocking.
People can’t believe it.”
"Reality-themed movies have broken records, which sounds like fantasy, but maybe "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is not the theme movie that Gao Daquan imagined. I look forward to Li Qian interpreting medicine, a livelihood issue, in a brand-new way."
...
Optoelectronics can check the information of every film that has passed the review. Although when it is submitted, it only has the director, screenwriter, title, genre, and an outline of more than 100 words, but through the outline of more than 100 words, it is absolutely clear that
Most media outlets can only come up with one result after repeated deliberation.
However, although it is a reality-themed movie, there is no media that talks bad about Li Qian.
Because Li Qian has a good reputation among the audience and the media, and the media also depends on who they choose.
The impoverished health product store owner saved the lives of countless leukemia patients by purchasing generic Yindu drugs on his behalf, and eventually became the god of medicine.
Isn't this obvious? Just replace the identity and medicine with anything else, and it's another Gao Daquan movie.
I can even imagine the plot in my head. An ordinary person, feeling the pain of leukemia patients, resolutely used his little savings to travel across the ocean to purchase generic drugs from India and treat the patients.
Replace people with teachers in remote areas and postmen in mountainous areas. Chinese people have long been familiar with these incomparably glorious and majestic figures that are enough to put most people to shame.
After reading the synopsis of the plot reproduced by various media from Optoelectronics, the audience was a little confused and instinctively thought of a story with the main theme of Guang Weizheng.
"Holy crap, is this true? Li Qian is also going to make a literary film?"
"Well, this outline doesn't look interesting at all. The fake person wants to vomit and is impoverished. Why not travel thousands of miles abroad to buy medicine for patients? Doesn't it cost money?"
"Is this made up by the media? I can think of a story a hundred times more exciting than this with my toes. How can Li Qian be so incompetent?"
"This kind of story about a primary school student, if it were really a script written by Li Qian, I would eat this 27-inch computer screen on the spot, and even the Internet cafe owner wouldn't be able to stop me, that's what I said!"
"I don't know, but a lot of media have said that the picture seems to be the form approved by Optoelectronics. The title, director, and actors are all right. Didn't Li Qian go to Xu Zheng and the others yesterday?"
"I hope it's not true. What's so interesting about this kind of story? I'm too lazy to go."
"Don't mention inviting me, even if it comes with snacks and drinks, I don't want to waste my time."
"Whatever it is, it won't be released so soon. You'll find out when you go see it. Anyway, I choose to believe Li Qian's film without thinking. It's better than watching other movies that have a high probability of being bad."
"If you love it, I'm going anyway. You can't go wrong by looking at the cast. Xu Zheng and Huang Bo are starring. It's most likely to be a comedy. Hu Ge also did a good job in "Time Planning Bureau"."
"Your brain is so funny, and it's also a comedy. It's a movie with realistic themes."
"So what if I write about realistic themes? "Frequency of Life and Death" is also said to be a science fiction film. Not only does it have a little bit of science fiction elements, Li Qian always touches the sidelines. This time I guess the subject matter is just a show type, but it is actually a comedy.
!”
"Forget it, just think of it as saving dozens of dollars. To watch this kind of movie, you might as well watch all the previous videos that moved China. It's not as great as the god of medicine. They are all still real."
"You idiots, why would you write something that is so obviously made up? Li Qian has such a big brain, how can he make such a film without any creativity?"
"Actually, I think, even if this synopsis is true, so what, it's not the entire script. The synopsis of "Tangshan Earthquake" is also the same. In the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Tangshan, a mother can only choose to save her sister.
One of the younger brothers, the mother finally chose to save the younger brother, but the elder sister miraculously survived and was later adopted by our army. Mother, daughter, sister and brother were separated from each other until the Wenchuan Earthquake 32 years later, and their life trajectories came together again.
.This seems to be a bloody story that cannot be more bloody. Isn’t the movie well-made?”
...
Audiences are hesitant about the synopsis of the movie reported by various media. Even if they believe the content of the movie reported by the media, their reactions are mixed.
Even with the basis of the previous four films, some viewers are still skeptical about Li Qian's new film.
Li Qian, who was inspecting the location at Daijia Lane in Jinling, did not pay attention to various opinions.
This is nothing. Domestic audiences have great opinions on high-level reality-themed movies. In 2004, there will be a "Zhang Side", which is a very good main theme movie. Although it is a government mission, it is not like most movies.
The main theme of the movie is so empty, but the dull Zhang Side, an older, unmarried man who works silently, has flesh and blood.
It seems to have sold 40 million at the box office, which is more than a blockbuster. Such a better box office has also attracted all kinds of doubts and criticisms.
There are various private theaters, and schools organize students to watch them, but the movie is indeed very good.
But the vast majority of people have never seen it. Once they see the main theme movie, it has sold 40 million movies, so what are you waiting for? You don’t want to think about it so much, just follow the program and start spraying and it’s done.
It is the original sin for non-commercial movies with main themes to be successful, but if the box office is so poor, some people will accuse the industry of being sick and the audience.
Reality is so strange, so Li Qian is already prepared that the audience will not understand it before the movie is released.
But fortunately, most of the audience still chose to believe in me unconditionally. It was much better than when Ma Xiaogang first made the main theme movie "Assembly Number". At that time, there were many people who doubted it.
Li Qian did not continue to care, and then walked around Jinling.
Yesterday he went to Shanghai. The background of the movie is 2002, the year before Mr. Li took office at Novartis. Ten years have passed since then.
It’s okay to spend ten years abroad. You can go to New York fifty years ago and shoot on location now, but you can’t do it in China.
In the past ten years, basically for first- and second-tier cities, earth-shaking changes have taken place.
Magic City does have many streets and buildings from ten years ago, but after all, it is one of the top two metropolises in the mainland, and many things are too troublesome.
When I was filming "I Am Legend" before, although on-site shooting was allowed, there were too many restrictions. I often turned black and white upside down, and I traveled to several places a day. Sometimes the time on the road almost caught up with the shooting time.
To be honest, after coming to Jinling today and walking around some of the places surveyed by the location team, Li Qian basically determined the location for the location.
Most of the exterior scenes were shot in Jinling, and a small part of the Magic City was shot in these two cities. The domestic exterior scenes were basically shot in these two cities, and the scenes in the studio were still in Huairou.
As for Yindu, Li Qian will not go there. There are no specific requirements for the outdoor scenes in Yindu.
Zhang Jun went to coordinate with various local streets in Jinling, and Li Qian returned to the capital to continue the unfinished storyboarding.
...
Li Qian is so calm, but major companies are looking at the information on hand and the reactions online...
They are also very calm. Li Qian's unexpected new film has greatly diluted their previous worries about Li Qian.
Wanda Pictures, Song Ge has completely taken control of the entire company, and has arranged the people he brought in and reorganized it.
He was busy enough during this period, and he also took care of Ma Xiaogang, so he had no time to pay attention to other things in the outside world. Now he can finally have some free time.
After looking at the voices of the online audience and looking at the news from Optoelectronics, Song Ge sighed with some regret.
"Oh, what a pity."
In his opinion, Li Qian committed a common mistake among all directors. After achieving great success at the box office and earning enough profits, he began to pursue fame.
It’s just that you can gain both fame and fortune by making commercial movies, so why do you have to make movies with this theme?
However, after working together so many times, I didn’t find that Li Qian had any artistic tendencies.
Is it possible?
Song Ge shook his head. If realistic-themed movies can sell well, then Li Qian is really a master of commercial movies, even without the prefix.
He was filled with regrets and expectations, but Song Ge put it down. He still had a lot of things to do. After capturing Ma Xiaogang, he came into contact with Cheng Long, Xu Ke and others, planning to strike while the iron was hot and snare them all. When you come under your command, you should at least establish long-term cooperation.
...
For other companies, it is undoubtedly good news that Li Qian will no longer make commercial blockbusters. At least one of their biggest rivals will be missing during the Lunar New Year period.
In Chairman Bernard's office, Yu Dong is already wondering whether "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" does not need to adjust its schedule.
At this time, the production director came in and reported, "Dr. Yu, Xu Ke still has two months to finish filming. If we add in the post-production, we won't be able to catch up with the summer schedule. We can only catch up with the National Day schedule at the earliest."
"No need to change it!"
Yu Dong clapped his hands and said rather proudly, "According to the original plan, I don't believe that a realistic movie about medicine can change the world if it is released during the Lunar New Year!"
...
Huayang Media, Huang Zhongjun, Ma Xiaogang, Chen Guofu, Liu Zhenyun and others are discussing Ma Xiaogang's new film "1942".
After getting down to business, we also talked about Li Qian's new film "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Liu Zhenyun, the original author and screenwriter, said with a smile, "Li Qian is also making a reality-themed movie this time. I am looking forward to this "I'm Not the God of Medicine"."
"snort!"
Ma Xiaogang curled his lips in disdain, "That's it? How about the Medicine God?"
