In 2018, "I Am Not a Medicine God" was released, and Lu Yong, the prototype of the story played by Xu Zheng, issued a lawyer's letter: "I did not beat my wife, did not sell divine oil, nor did I sell medicine to make money!" ”
In the end, the crew gave Lu Yong a very tempting condition, and Lu Yong agreed to reconcile.
3 years ago, Xu Zheng starred in "I Am Not a Medicine God" was released, and it grossed 3 billion yuan at the box office.
This is a light comedy, and behind the comedy also conveys the practical significance of the poor's difficulty in seeing a doctor, which makes people cry when they watch it, which is both touching and sad.
It also makes people pay attention to the prototype of the role played by Xu Zheng - Lu Yong
It turned out that in 2002, Lu Yong was still a very healthy middle-aged man at the age of 34. As a small boss of a textile factory, although he is not a rich and noble family, he is also a person with a head and a face to eat and wear. No
However, the weather was unpredictable, and in 2002, Lu Yong found slow myeloid leukemia during a physical examination.
The news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, catching him off guard.
The doctor told him that the disease required a bone marrow transplant, but the matching was difficult, and Gleevec needed to be taken to control the condition during the waiting period.
Lu Yong did not expect that a box of medicines would sell for a high price of 23,500 yuan.
In just two years, Lu Yong spent nearly 600,000 yuan, and the high medical expenses made him unable to bear it, and even had the idea of taking his own life.
In 2004, at a leukemia forum, Lu Yong learned about a generic drug produced in India, which has exactly the same efficacy as the genuine drug, while the price is only 1/6 of the genuine drug, only 4,000 yuan.
He tried his best to entrust people to buy two boxes, and after tasting them for two months, he found that it really worked, and shared them with patients in the group.
After those patients learned about this matter, they entrusted Lu Yong to see if they could buy themselves a few boxes of medicines.
In order to help more people, Lu Yong went to bargain with the manufacturer, and finally 4,000 yuan per box actually talked about the price of 200 yuan per box.
However, because these Gaofang drugs did not have an import license for Chinese drugs, they were identified as counterfeit drugs, resulting in Lu Yong's arrest. After that, Lu Yong explained that he definitely did not profit from it.
After his arrest, 1,002 cancer patients signed a joint letter in solidarity with him, and 19 days later, Lu Yong was released. Because what he did from beginning to end was salvation, saving himself, saving others.
In 2018, "I am not a medicine god" was a great success, Lu Yong said: "After watching the trailer, I was very unhappy, Xu Zheng molded me into a professional drug dealer, earning money from patients..."
In the film, Cheng Yong is a drug dealer who earns the difference, the family is poor, obscene, and beats his wife, but Mr. Lu in real life is not such a person at all.
Xu Zheng explained to him: "Art comes from life, but it is definitely higher than life, so it needs the necessary artistic creation and artistic processing. ”
Such an explanation, obviously Lu Yong did not accept, he quickly sent out a lawyer's letter: "I did not beat my wife, did not sell divine oil, nor did I sell medicine to make money!" ”
Finally, the crew issued conditions, the first point: taking out 2 million yuan to donate to the leukemia public welfare relief agency, and another point: for every 100 million yuan in total box office revenue, an additional 300,000 yuan will be used to treat leukemia patients.
Only then did Lu Yong agree to withdraw the lawsuit.
Lu Yong also said that his favorite scene in the movie is the scene where a thousand people send Cheng Yong at the end, because it is too exaggerated and makes people feel unreal.
After the release of the movie "I Am Not a Medicine God", it won wide acclaim. Later, some departments also worked hard to include the price of 17 very expensive anti-cancer drugs in the Medicare reimbursement list.
Lu Yong was very happy because his actions really helped others!
