Chapter 949 "The God of Medicine" (13)

As for the opening film, the jury of the main competition unit of the Shanghai International Film Festival also came to watch the film...

This year’s jury chairman is...Jiang Wen!

It is said that Jiang Wen really worked hard to promote "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right".

Not only did he participate in talk shows such as "Thirteen Invitations" and "Xiao Shuo", but he also appeared at the Golden Goblet Award Jury Chair Forum with the crew of "The Righteous"...

If "I'm Not the God of Medicine" hadn't stolen a lot of the limelight, I guess "The Righteous One" would have been the most anticipated movie at this year's Shanghai International Film Festival!

Ahem, the most outrageous thing is that in the final of Creation 101, Liao Fan and Peng Yuyan promoted "The Evil Will Not Suppress the Right"...

The result of the gambling agreement in "One Step Away" was that both Jiang Wen and the investors suffered defeat, so this time, Jiang Wen must reverse the previous decline no matter what.

Jiang Wen said to Shen Changlin...

I don’t know much about him, and I haven’t seen any of his movies. I just know that his movies are very popular!

But... I haven't seen it very much. His original words are: 'I only like to watch what I like to watch. Who is the love I don't like to watch? What does this have to do with me? Go ahead, I don't want this. We I'm a drama major, what movie should I watch? You know we're not like that, we'll watch the ancient Greek tragedies "Oedipus the King" and "Medea"...'

'I don't like to watch new movies, I like to watch old movies. A writer once said that you can read books by dead people instead of books by living people. The same is true for movies. The so-called "dead people" mean that they have been filtered by time. It's something reliable. If I don't spend more than two hours watching a bad movie, why should I?'

Although Shen Changlin has made more than a dozen movies, he has only made his debut less than ten years ago. For Jiang Wen, his movies are new movies!

That is, the kind that is not rare to see...

Shen Changlin talks to Jiang Wen...

Respect!

No kidding, Jiang Wen said in a previous interview: "I think some things now are like things in the old society, such as calling actors artists, godfathers and godmothers, and rich people being respected. I think these are all I am fundamentally resisting the emergence of these bad habits of the old society!'

As for Lao Jiang’s works…

It's a bit like durian. Those who like it like it very much and regard it as a guide, but those who don't like it find it unpleasant to eat...

But you can’t deny the nutritional value of durian!

Just like Jiang Wen’s movies cannot be denied...

However, it is a pity that Shen Changlin does not eat durian and even smells it and feels uncomfortable...

But that doesn't stop him from looking forward to Jiang Wen's movie, which is not "The Righteous" but "Olympics in the Prisoner of War Camp"...

Of course, when we meet, we must exchange a few compliments.

Shen Changlin said, ""The Righteous One" is a movie that I have been looking forward to in recent years. I have been looking forward to it since the filming was announced..."

Jiang Wenze said, "Xiao Shen is good, carrying Chinese movies forward all the way"...

After completing a set of fixed procedures, we finally entered the screening room!

…

Since the Shanghai International Film Festival does not have a movie palace, "The God of Medicine" can only be screened in cinemas, and Daguang Guangming Film was arranged.

There are more than a thousand seats.

The seats were full, with the media and filmmakers mostly sitting in the front row, while the audience sat in the back row...

Shen Changlin and the leading actors of "The God of Medicine" were sitting on the left side of the front row...

There are also many film critics in the media who are looking forward to "The God of Medicine". Shen Changlin will make a realistic film again after six years, and I heard that the review is very difficult...

I also heard that he was invited to Cannes, but he rejected it!

I don’t know if it’s true or false!

It's true, Cannes did send an invitation, and it was an invitation from the main competition...

Shen Changlin is not worried about not getting the award or anything, he is worried about getting the award!

I don’t know if you have noticed it, but our literary and artistic films are not bad, nor are they without successors...

"Spring", "Xiao Wei", "Spring River Water Warmth", "Spring Tide", "What's in the Dark Place" including Bi Gan's "The Last Night on Earth"...

But none of them won awards, and they were not even shortlisted for the three major film festivals!

The reason is quite simple. These literary and artistic films are no longer so bitter and hateful. They no longer reflect the individual tragedies of the Chinese people, the national suffering and oppression and backwardness in the great era. Instead, they reflect the romantic and poetic China and modern Chinese aesthetics. and the problems that boys and girls face in society.

This is very different from the previous expressions of Chinese literary and artistic films in the world, the image of Chinese people, and the image of Chinese culture. There is a certain connection between the fact that foreign cultural elites were not shortlisted for these awards because of their unaccustomed political awareness.

If "The God of Medicine" wins the award, wouldn't Shen Changlin be a "Western" stamped by Cannes?

What are the judging criteria for film festivals with international influence?

What is it internally?

What is it externally?

Bringing it back, as the lights dimmed, the movie was officially released...

…

In fact, as an audio-visual art, the charm of movies lies in presentation, and the key to presentation is to make the audience feel more involved in the movie watching process.

A large part of the reason why many commercial movies today are criticized for being stupid is because they are afraid that the audience will not understand, such as explaining through lines or arranging a large number of connecting scenes.

Although "The God of Medicine" is a feature film, its telling method is completely commercial.

In just three minutes of the opening chapter, Cheng Yong's character is established: family dilemma...

The ex-wife wants to take her son to the United States. If Cheng Yong no longer has enough money to support him in seizing custody of his son, the son will have to leave!

My old father lives in a nursing home and his hospital bills are in arrears...

He needs to make money!

Lu Yiyi's appearance is a turning point...

Well, there are basically no changes to "The God of Medicine", except for adding some lines to defend pharmaceutical companies - in fact, without Swiss drugs, where can generic drugs come from?

Why is it sold so expensive?

The price of Glenin in our country is the highest in the world, more than twice as high as in South Korea.

In every country where Novavax sells this drug, they say, "We are the original drug, and the research and development cost is billions of dollars." Why is it the most expensive in China, which is not rich?

Who knows?

At the end of the movie, Duan Yihong came out of prison and Wu Jing picked him up.

"smoke?"

"Quit..."

"It's good to quit... Can we find a place to have a drink?"

"OK!"

While fastening his seat belt, Wu Jing asked, "What are your plans now that you're out?"

Duan Yihong shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet!"

"Don't touch fake medicines, no one will buy them anymore."

"What's the matter?"

“Genuine medicines are covered by medical insurance, and no one takes Indian medicines anymore.”

Duan Yihong was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said: "Is it covered by medical insurance? Oh, that's good."

"You should continue selling your aphrodisiac...it's also suitable for you!"

The car drove by...

The movie ends.

Then a bunch of subtitles came out - in 2002, the survival rate of chronic myeloid leukemia was about 30%, and in 2018, the survival rate of chronic myelogenous leukemia was about 85%...

Thank you to everyone who is working hard on the road to saving hope.

The movie was over. According to the process, the creators should go on stage to share their feelings. Shen Changlin was about to stand up, and then, suddenly, the audience in the back row spontaneously stood up and applauded...

Not only that, Yang Xiaomi sitting next to him burst into tears...

This...is this staged?

Shen Changlin was a little embarrassed and looked at Duan Yihong, who also had tears in his eyes...

You guys...well, this is the first time they've seen the finished film!

"We applaud the director of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" Shen Changlin, starring Duan Yihong, Lei Jiayin, Yang Xiaomi..."
Chapter completed!
