Chapter eight hundred and twenty-ninth celebration banquet
Mubai Entertainment held a celebration banquet specifically for the crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine". Everyone attended. Everyone toasted and laughed at the banquet.
The artists from other companies all laughed happily. Many of the characters here were from outside companies. Some of them participated in Chen Mubai's film for the first time, and then they got such box office results. They were extremely happy.
For a movie with a box office of over 5 billion, not to mention starring in a leading role, even playing a supporting role is a great benefit, as it gives you massive exposure!
What's more, this movie has been screened for half a month since before its premiere. It has received a lot of praise and the publicity has been very intense. All the characters have been paid attention to and analyzed.
For example, Huang Mao, played by Qian Duoduo, everyone unanimously praised that although there were not many lines this time, the acting was still very good, and his acting skills have been greatly improved compared to the previous ones.
There are few lines but many shots, so you need to rely on your face and eyes to convey information. This requires relatively high acting skills. After all, you are not a mute. Those emotions need to be reflected in limited lines or faces.
Qian Duodu has never taken on this type of role before, so it was quite a challenge. Overall, the performance was very good, and many film critics also praised his growth.
The actor who plays Lu Yiyi, Lu Wencai, has received the most attention except Cheng Yong.
The main reason is that the contrast between his two forms before and after is obvious, and he is also the person who has the deepest entanglement with Cheng Yong. It was his death that changed Cheng Yong's thinking and made him the "God of Medicine"!
When they first met, the audience remembered his tall, thin stature and slightly flattering expression, vividly portraying a man who was suffering from illness but full of confidence in life.
He was very gentle when talking to others, and his eyes seemed to be shining. Especially after the team was successful, when he took Cheng Yong to his home to see his children, his extremely gentle expression made him feel like he had seen the last time he saw his children.
The precious thing deeply moved the audience.
At that time, he was not like a patient, but a great father. He was also full of confidence in his future life and was grateful to Cheng Yong for his kindness to him.
Later, when the team disbanded, he was the last person to leave. Even though conflicts had occurred, he still did not get angry, but spoke softly, and even tried to ease the explosive atmosphere. This man was really heartbreaking.
From then on, everyone saw him receiving treatment in the hospital bed, with a pale and bloodless face and a skinny body. He suffered from the pain of treatment, but the moment they saw Cheng Yong, he still showed the same expression as when they first met.
His bright and happy smile makes people feel sad.
He whined in pain, and during the final chemotherapy, he lost all his hair, leaving only a few scattered white hairs rooted on his head. He could not even stand upright. His body seemed to be extremely weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
The transformation of these three scenes was performed very well by Lu Wencai, especially the last scene of the dying wood, which shocked everyone's attention. From that moment on, the audience began to cry, and the plot of the movie began to become sad.
Lu Wencai received a lot of praise in the industry for his performance in this role, and many works came to his door, including many works by great directors and many excellent movies.
Every other character has more or less characteristics in this movie, and every character is memorable because they all have different backgrounds, and every one of them is heart-wrenching.
Many actors in the Chinese entertainment industry are envious of these stars who participated in "I'm Not the God of Medicine". It can be said that they became famous all at once. With this terrifying box office, they don't have to worry about lack of traffic at all, and their careers will usher in a blowout period!
The most important thing is that this movie is not like other commercial movies, where everyone's attention is focused on the male and female protagonists or even the male villain. Instead, each character has his own characteristics, which makes the audience deeply impressed. This is the advantage of group dramas.
Each character can be remembered by the audience to the maximum extent and have exposure.

"Brother Lu, I will go to the United States tomorrow. If you need anything, please contact me."
Chen Mubai walked aside and stood in a corner with Lu Fang, chatting.
Some people who wanted to come over to socialize saw the two of them chatting together and knew that they probably had something to talk about, so they did not come over so as not to hinder them.
The celebration banquet took the form of a buffet and was held in a five-star hotel. Everyone was happily eating and chatting. We formed a small group of three or five people to chat.
As a director and starring actor, Chen Mubai has been toasted by everyone for a long time. Now it is free time, everyone is more relaxed and comfortable, and all the stars are wandering around, busy socializing with other stars.
This is the best occasion. Some people will exchange benefits, and some will have similar temperaments and become friends.
Although Chen Mubai was greeted by others, he was not drunk. He always drank tea instead of wine. No one dared to say anything about him. He was the biggest here!
"Don't you want to rest for two more days?" Lu Fang said: "It's better to take your time and don't be too tired. The company is developing very fast now. You have almost conquered cities and territories in the United States. You can take a proper rest. No
It’s necessary to push yourself so urgently.”
"Actually, it's okay. After all, I'm doing a career I like." Chen Mubai looked at the people coming and going in the hall, everyone was laughing and sighing.
"I remember when I was banned by Starway Entertainment, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find anything to do. I didn't expect that Starway Entertainment would go bankrupt in a blink of an eye."
Lu Fang nodded, with the same emotion in his voice: "Yeah, I didn't expect that the big boy who told me that he wanted to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry has now become a hot new star in the country, and has broken a series of records at the same time.
Becoming the first person really surprises me at your achievements."
"Sometimes I think, it's a good thing I know you and got on your express train, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am now."
At the end of the sentence, Lu Fang couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at Chen Mubai with narrow eyes.
Chen Mubai was slightly ashamed: "Brother Lu, please stop teasing me. I will always keep your kindness to me in mind, and without your management, Mubai Entertainment would not have developed so fast."
"When we were attacked by Starway Entertainment, you activated your connections and recruited many people for us. Including when Feifan Entertainment collapsed, you brought over many talents. Without you, there would be no Mubai Entertainment today.
"
"When the three of us founded this company together, weren't we all full of confidence in the future? Now we have just realized our original bold words, and the next step will be another goal, to let Mubai Entertainment go global and become an international film and television company.
Production Company!"
It had been several years since Lu Fang listened to Chen Mubai recount his past experiences, and then heard him talk about the rise of the company, but these scenes were as clear in his mind as if they were yesterday. He had encountered many challenges in the past few years.
The company was once in danger of bankruptcy, but it survived.
Hearing Chen Mubai's goals for the next stage again, the passion in his heart was ignited: "Yes, when our company was founded, we wanted to develop and grow in order to deal with Starway Entertainment in the future. In the end, we really did it. Naturally, this
The goal can also be achieved!”
Although this goal sounds ambitious and very difficult to achieve, compared with the grandiose words at the beginning of its establishment, the difficulty is actually about the same.
You know, at that time, Starway Entertainment was one of the top mid-sized entertainment companies under the top seven. If the scale were larger, it would already have one foot in the top entertainment companies, with extremely strong funds and strength!
Isn’t it a fantasy that a company that has just been founded with only three people wants to deal with Starway Entertainment in the future?
If these words were said at that time, people would probably be regarded as fools. The three of them accomplished this almost impossible thing. What could be more difficult than this!?
At this time, Li Feng came over with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "You two are hiding here chatting, why don't you go over there to socialize?"
"A lot of people are looking for you. It's a good idea for you to come here to take some time off, but they all come looking for me. I just got away after dealing with them."
"Haha." Lu Fang and Chen Mubai looked at each other and smiled.
"Brother Feng, thank you for your hard work."
This time, there were not only senior executives from Mubai Entertainment, but also senior executives from several other film and television companies. After all, their actors starred in this movie, and they also attended the celebration banquet.
The purpose of these senior executives is to continue to cooperate with Mubai Entertainment. This time they have made a lot of money. All the stars have been given a chance to take off by Chen Mubai. This kind of good thing does not happen all the time.
In the entertainment industry, no director or star can guarantee that his or her work will be popular and a hit, and if you do, it's just luck.
Even if it is a work by a big director, a big production or starring an A-list star, there are not a few that fail.
Only Chen Mubai is different. Every one of his works can cause huge turmoil, with both box office and word-of-mouth success. He is the only person who can guarantee that his works will be successful.
Who in the industry doesn’t want to cooperate with him?
Countless investors and entertainment companies want to cooperate with him. They don't even ask for cooperation and just invest. They only pay dividends and don't care about anything else. It is difficult for them to participate because Chen Mubai's ability to attract money is too strong.
Chen Mubai is the only one who can make all investors believe that their investment will be profitable, and his movie is also a project that everyone is rushing to invest in. It just depends on his attitude.
This is the opposite of what others do. Under normal circumstances, it is the director or the producer who begs investors to invest. How can any investor beg to invest in the producer...
I just say that form is stronger than people, but there is nothing I can do about it. Why is Chen Mubai so buggy? He is 100% profitable. People who don’t want to invest must be fools!
Everyone knows very well how high Mubai Entertainment's status is in the country now. Even though it has just become the eighth largest, in terms of strength and influence, except for the state-owned enterprise Huaying, the other six established companies do not dare to underestimate it.
Not even as good as it...
Chen Mubai and others are not fools. It is impossible for every company that wants to invest to give them a chance. Except for companies with good relationships that will give them some opportunities, it is basically impossible for them to have no intersection.
If you want to invest, you can invest in other works. Chen Mubai's works are basically invested by Mubai Entertainment itself, or a small part of the profits are given to other companies.
In other respects, the most is that actors are selected from other companies, which can be regarded as some kind of cooperation. Since everyone wants to star in Chen Mubai's movie, the salary is lower than the market price for the chance to participate in the film.
After all, it is very possible to participate in a popular film, and the impact of the subsequent film's box office, reputation and quality will be far greater than the small salary return. Everyone understands this account clearly.
Moreover, it is not that Mubai Entertainment deliberately lowered the pay. The actors applied for the pay themselves. They were also afraid of competing with others, so for the sake of subsequent benefits, they naturally would not ask for more pay. They wished that they had to be chosen by Chen Mubai for the pay.
