"I Am Not a Medicine God" is a drama film directed by Wen Muye, co-produced by Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, and starring Xu Zheng, Zhou Zhouwei, Wang Chuanjun, Tan Zhuo, Zhang Yu, Yang Xinming and so on.
The film tells the story of Cheng Yong, the owner of a shenyou shop, from a male health product vendor who could not afford to pay rent to become the exclusive agent of the Indian generic drug "Glenin".
6 days after the release of the box office broke 1.5 billion, I don't know how many people cried, Xiaobian cried for the first time in the theater, and could not calm the mood for a long time after leaving the theater.
Here is a brief introduction to the plot, the owner of the Indian god oil shop Cheng Yong lived a nest of days, there was no business in the store, the father was critically ill, and the operation fee was uneven. The ex-wife conceived a child with a rich man and had to take custody of his son. One day, a leukemia patient came to the store and begged him to bring back a batch of imitation special drugs from India, so that patients who could not afford to buy high-priced genuine drugs could maintain a glimmer of life. Cheng Yong, who was reluctant but desperate, unexpectedly turned over overnight, and the affordable special drugs saved countless people, making him a "medicine god" by the patient, but with the benefits came a multi-party tug-of-war that put his life and the lives of poor patients in crisis.
In addition to the protagonist Cheng Yong, there are two others in the play that impressed me: Lü Hui (played by Wang Chuanjun) and Liu Sihui (played by Tan Zhuo).
Lü Was a leukemia patient who wanted to die when he found the lesion at first, but his wife was pregnant, and after the child was born, his life was rekindled with hope, and he wanted to live. Even though he was ill, he was still positive and optimistic, resisting the sky-high price of drugs with everyone, eating a simple box lunch and watching patients make trouble against authority. Later, he found Cheng Yong and sold fake drugs that could save people's lives, and he tried to save his patients who were also concerned about the same encounters as himself. Later, Cheng Yong gave up, he once again lost the hope of survival, because there was no money and no medicine, he chose to cut his wrists to commit suicide but was saved by his wife. Remember that scene, Cheng Yong went to the hospital to visit him, just in time for the debridement, the family avoided, only to hear the miserable wail of Lu Yuan in the ward, the helpless waiting of friends and wives outside the ward, that kind of despair made people sad, and could not help but cry.
Liu Sihui is a pole dancer in a bar, and she did this profession not to like, but because her daughter is a chronic myeloid leukemia patient, so she had to do a job. When Cheng Yong found her, because he learned that he could buy medicine cheaply, he began to gather various patients and help Cheng Yong a lot. The fiery pole dancer on the stage, the strong single mother in life, will not hesitate to commit to the dust for her daughter's treatment, and praise the great mother!
Cheng Yong should be the most transformed character in this movie, with his transformation, the plot has also ushered in a climax, Cheng Yong was finally sentenced to prison, many netizens said that the ending was sad. Cheng Yong should not be put in jail. This reminds us that even if the meaning is great, the law is heaven and cannot be violated, and this ending is actually more rational.
A little behind-the-scenes footage [Wit]: In order to better present the different personalities of the characters, the main actors have specially experienced life: Wang Chuanjun once lived with patients in the hospital room of the hematology department; Monday Wei once went to experience the working state of the police; Yang Xinming went to the church to do many interviews, visit patients and so on.
In order to show the character's weakness, Wang Chuanjun completed 8,000 jump ropes every day and lost more than 20 pounds. In order for a scene on a sickbed to present the feeling of the whole person collapsing in front of the camera, he stayed up for two days without sleeping.
Tan Zhuo practiced for a month and a half for a pole dance scene with less than 20 seconds. Bruises on the legs also resulted in soft tissue injuries to the knees.
Yang Xinming, who does not know English at all, needs to memorize a large number of English lines word by word.
Xu Zheng's character has a hood, which he wears when filming and blends into the snack bar, and no one recognizes him.
This is really a good movie, the script is good, the actors are dedicated, and together they have made this movie, and there are many characters in the play who are full of images, and together they enrich the film and bring people deep thinking.
May there be no more disease in the world!
