"With a profit of 10 billion US dollars a year, this is the pharmaceutical industry that has always been called poor? It makes more money than banks!"
"Hahaha, this is a slap in the face. I don't see how the navy can do this. Although the R&D cost is 8 billion a year, the annual revenue is 50 billion, and the net profit is close to 10 billion U.S. dollars. Isn't this a huge profit?"
"The annual interest rate is 10 billion US dollars, which is more profitable than China Mobile and Sinopec. It is simply a money grab!"
"I was almost fooled by the research and development costs of several billion dollars a year. Compared with the annual revenue of 50 billion US dollars, a few billion US dollars is not much, and the profit is 10 billion US dollars!"
"I checked and found out that this Glenin actually sells for 25,000 yuan, but it is much cheaper in other countries. Mi Lijianguo costs 1,300 yuan a bottle, Austria costs 11,000 yuan a bottle, and Neon is more expensive at 16,000 yuan.
One bottle, but Nanbang only costs more than 9,000 per bottle!”
"Damn it, a bottle is 10,000 more expensive in China than abroad. The pharmaceutical company must be too shady!"
"It seems that there are various taxes on imports. Is it almost the same after adding the taxes?"
"That's pretty much shit. Even if you add in customs duties and value-added tax, it's not that high!"
"This is too dark. Why does Nanbang sell for more than 9,000, and domestically sells for 25,000? If it is like other countries, the price of one bottle of medicine can be used to take two bottles, then the burden on patients will be much smaller."
"Those who speak for pharmaceutical companies are still suffering miserably despite making huge profits with unscrupulous intentions. Don't their consciences hurt?"
...
The huge profits of pharmaceutical companies immediately overturned the voices that had previously defended pharmaceutical companies, saying that it was reasonable for them to invest so much and sell so much.
Including neutral netizens who were rational at the beginning, all joined in the condemnation of drug dealers.
There are so many profitable industries, and usually no one scolds them for no reason, but "I'm Not the God of Medicine" really resonated with people. In addition, a large group of people and trolls were explaining to pharmaceutical companies before.
I have put myself on the opposite side of the audience.
More and more professionals are throwing out data one after another, proving that pharmaceutical companies not only invest huge amounts of money, but are also a hugely profitable industry.
In addition, someone has listed the global selling price of Glenin. In foreign countries, it is generally over 10,000, and even Nanbang only sells for 9,000, but in China it sells for nearly 25,000. The news became more and more sensational.
Netizens are even more unacceptable!
There are also some leukemia patients who, after watching the movie, couldn't help but speak out online about their situation after falling ill.
It is not uncommon for families to be broken up and their families to be scattered among this group, which arouses even more sympathy and indignation from the audience.
As each day passes, the denunciations and abuses online become more and more intense.
And the major companies that were originally watching the excitement can no longer laugh. Now the public opinion has been overwhelmingly in favor of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
After several days of making things difficult, Li Qian and the crew became more relaxed.
But sometimes, it is inevitable to feel heavy because during the road show, I met several leukemia patients.
This stop came to East Guangdong, China Plaza Cinema City in Yangcheng. Li Qian and hundreds of spectators were listening to the confession of a leukemia patient.
"When "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was screened, I often heard people recommending this movie everywhere, but people around me told me not to watch it.
I said, why not go? Just because I am a leukemia patient?
Even though I was wearing a mask, I looked just like the patients in the movie.
But I still laughed like a pig one hour and cried like a dog the next hour.
This is my state when watching a movie, no different from ordinary people.
It's so exaggerated in the movie and their masks are so thick, I only wear one layer.
I also laughed at them because their acting was too exaggerated.
Maybe Director Li, you want a more sad feeling, at least I think so..."
In the crowd, stood a thin boy wearing glasses. He sounded like he was about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he looked like he was in his mid-twenties. He was describing his feelings about watching the movie.
Some people next to him subconsciously turned to the other side, while others looked at him sympathetically, with the corners of their eyes getting a little moist.
When he said that the actor's performance was exaggerated, the audience did not object, and Xu Zheng and others were not unhappy at all.
He said that Li Qian arranged it like this on purpose. For dramatic effect, Li Qian didn't react at all and everyone listened attentively.
The boy then said in a voice so dull that he had no emotion at all, "Before I saw this movie, I had always been sick. It wasn't until I watched the movie that I realized that not only was I sick, I also had a disease of poverty."
, the sentence I remember most clearly in the movie is this sentence.
Although the movie is a bit exaggerated, they are so familiar, especially Liu Sihui. When Cheng Yong insisted on sending her home, she did not refuse. She knew what would happen, but she did not refuse. She was afraid that she would offend him if she resisted.
Happy.
She has no money, she has a sick daughter, and he is her source of livelihood. When she has no money, she only thinks about life and death, not others.
Well, she looks like my mother and my father.
I heard them crying outside the ward many times. My parents always thought that their playful faces could conceal my sadness of borrowing money from others outside.
They are so stupid.
Although I am a leukemia patient, I am not a fool.
I want to die. Since I have been ill for more than two years, countless people have advised me to just die, including my relatives, friends, and creditors.
It is true that death is the only solution to this disease.
But I don't dare to die, I still love my parents so much.
Lao Lu can be strong for his children, why can't I be strong for my parents!
There are many motivations for living. The male protagonist Cheng Yong is for his father's surgery, his son's life, and the due rent.
As for me, for the two people who love me."
With his plain voice, Li Qian heard that even when he talked about suicide, there was no emotion at all. In other words, when he talked about his parents, there was a slight fluctuation in his tone.
Li Qian knew that this might be how calm he was, or it might be that he was completely desperate. How desperate must he be to be indifferent even when it comes to life and death.
Li Qian listened quietly.
"Now I'm desperate, not because of the bad things in life, not because of terrible illness, but poverty in the face of the bad things in life, poverty in the face of terrible illness.
I forgot to tell you that our family used to have three houses, which have been completely ruined by me. My parents’ savings have also been ruined by me. I don’t know how much money they borrowed, and I don’t know how long I can survive.
.
I have watched "I'm Not the God of Medicine" three times before. This time I heard that Director Li will come to the road show, so I came again, not to watch the movie again, but because I have one thing to ask Director Li
."
"Excuse me, just ask, if there is anything I can do to help you, I will definitely answer." Li Qian nodded.
"I..."
The leukemia patient's tone was unusually trembling, and the audience next to him could clearly feel that his whole person was different.
He, who was lifeless, suddenly burst into life. The hand holding the microphone and even his whole body were trembling slightly.
"Director Li, I want to ask, can I still be saved? Can we still be saved?"
Is there any help?
Is there any help?
Li Qian knew that he was not talking about himself, but about his disease and whether people with leukemia could be saved.
Looking at the patient's longing eyes, I don't know why he asked himself this question instead of asking the doctor or the government.
However, Li Qian knew that if he denied it, the glimmer of hope that suddenly appeared in his eyes would disappear in an instant, and he would return to the previous state where he could not see any light at all.
Without thinking, Li Qian raised the microphone to his mouth and said extremely firmly, "There will be help, you will all be saved, you will all be saved!"
"Thank you, Director Li!" There was light in his eyes, and he smiled rarely. Maybe it was because he rarely smiled, but his smile was not pretty. Then he bowed to Li Qian, "Can you make "I Am Not"
For movies like "The God of Medicine", I believe you!"
Li Qian knew that all he wanted was an excuse to keep going.
Maybe except for his parents, no one can make him believe it. Now there is another Li Qian. Even if he just deceives himself, that's enough.
...
After leaving the cinema, Li Qian still felt a little heavy. In fact, he had seen seven or eight leukemia patients during this period. Of course, there might be others, but they just stayed there quietly without speaking.
However, when he inexplicably became the hope of others, instead of feeling a trace of joy, he became increasingly depressed.
"Fuck, next time I will make a movie that makes everyone laugh!" Li Qian said a rare expletive.
Speaking of the next movie, everyone around him, including Xu Zheng who had been paying attention to what Li Qian would make next, rarely asked what Li Qian was going to make.
Xu Zheng frowned and said, "Director Li, did you just say that they can all be saved?"
Li Qian nodded, "Everyone has his own way, and there will always be a way to save him!"
"But..."
Li Qian said nothing, took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhong Lifang's number.
"Hey Sister Fang, after the income from "The God of Medicine" is settled, I will use 100 million to build a charity fund for leukemia patients. After you have been busy for a while, help me find professionals in this field."
Du Yang is just a simple filmmaker, while Zhong Lifang studied business administration and venture capital, majoring in investment, financing, and investor relations.
On the other side of the phone, Zhong Lifang was a little stunned as to why she suddenly mentioned this.
"Director Li, is this for publicity? Do you want to announce it now?"
"Don't announce it. Find professionals in this field first and come up with a plan to see how it works. Keep it secret. Remember not to let the public know!"
...
After a few brief explanations, Li Qian hung up the phone.
In a few words, everyone was stunned. Xu Zheng was a little unsure and said, "Director Li, what you said is the salvation, you just pay for it yourself?"
"That's not true. No one can be the savior, not even the richest man in the country."
Li Qian shook his head, "I made so much money by using leukemia patients, so I should give them 100 million to repay them."
It's only 100 million. According to this trend, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" can earn 500 million in box office in the second week. Adding in the 320 million in the first week, it will sell 800 million in ten days. It is very likely that 1.3 billion will be sold.
In addition, the cost of publicity and distribution is only 100 million, which also includes more than 20 million of my own salary. If I do the promotion myself, and jointly do the distribution with China Film, I estimate that I can make a profit of 400 million. Taking out 100 million is not much.
.
"Then why should we keep it a secret? If it were announced, the patient would be very happy." Xu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"It cannot be announced. Once it is announced, I will definitely be praised by the public. With the atmosphere and controversy caused by the outside world, netizens will be immediately discouraged by the public opinion." Li Qian still shook his head.
"The only one who can save them is the government. When the noise gets louder and louder and becomes too big for the higher-ups to ignore, that's when they will be saved. So it must not be announced. It is best not to have any good news at all. Only then will this public opinion
Keep climbing.”
"Director Li, you are the god of medicine!" Xu Zheng sighed, even if you do good deeds, you have to do everything possible to hide it.
Li Qian laughed and said, "I'm a fart!"
"Director Li, I will also contribute a little when the fund comes. After all, I will benefit a lot from this movie." Xu Zheng continued.
"Count me in!"
"Director Li will give me one."
"Although I don't have much money, if Li Qian doesn't mind it, he can count me in."
