Chapter 870 Returning to her parents home
The box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" exceeded 300 million on the first day - in fact, only 82 million was actually included in the opening box office, and the other more than 200 million came from the previous box office.
The opening result of 82 million is actually not very good, but the high reputation the film has won has helped "The God of Medicine" soar all the way - even the harsh Douban netizens gave it a super high score of 9.0.
With a four-day revenue of 1.17 billion in its first weekend, "The God of Medicine" ignited the summer.
Which was the last realism-themed movie that aroused heated discussion in society?
Is it "Dear"?
But compared with the fight against trafficking, medical issues resonate more with the audience.
The public began to discuss the issue of sky-high drug prices, especially the high price of anti-cancer drugs, on the topic of the movie.
The audience exclaimed: "We also have our own "Suwon" and "The Melting Pot"."
When Wen Muye was working on the script, he did not point the finger blindly at the pharmaceutical company. He added a monologue from a pharmaceutical company representative:
"In the past 13 years, we have spent 83 billion US dollars on research and development. In the end, we only succeeded in 21 new drugs, and not all of these 21 new drugs may be sold. Tell me, what should I do? What should I do?
What price can we set to recover costs and support my tens of thousands of employees?"
In fact, in the script revised by Wen Muye, the pharmaceutical representative also said something at the end, vaguely pointing the finger at the pharmaceutical sales system. The general idea is that the company's ex-factory price is not actually that high. It's not that the company is unwilling to lower the price, but it can't.
But later, with the intervention of Director Han, the latter paragraph was cut.
In terms of plot, the most impressive thing for the audience is not the protagonists, but Zhang Changlin who sells counterfeit medicines.
Wang Yanhui has this ability to play bad guys. He can play bad guys so convincingly to the audience.
The audience believes that he is bad for their own reasons.
Moreover, Cheng Yu'an borrowed Zhang Changlin's mouth to tell a cruel reality: "But I have to give you some advice. I have been selling medicine for so many years and found that there is only one disease in the world, poverty disease. You have no cure for this disease.
, you can’t cure it either, forget it.”
Zhang Changlin's failure to confess Cheng Yong's story has been interpreted variously by netizens.
A realistic movie that was not optimistic before its release has now achieved such results - most of the final box office estimates for "The God of Medicine" on various online platforms are between 2.5 billion and 3 billion.
If this continues, it will definitely affect the subsequent "The Righteous" - which will be released exactly one week after "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Jiang Wen really worked hard for "The Righteous One". In order to promote the movie, he actually took Liao Fan and Eddie Peng to the "Produce 101" finals as guests.
But Jiang Wen obviously didn't understand this show or these girls. To be honest, his performance on the scene was a bit embarrassing.
Let’s not even talk about Peng Yuyan’s butt.
"Eddie Peng is not an ordinary person. Such a body is more beautiful than ancient Greek sculptures. Why don't I take pictures?"
It's hard to blame Jiang Wen. "One Step Away" suffered huge losses, and "The Righteous One" is the final work of the Republic of China trilogy. He is under great pressure.
However, Jiang Wen is still Jiang Wen, and Peng Yuyan's popularity is still at its peak. With the cooperation of the two, "The Evil Can Suppress the Right" won the championship on the first day - only 460,000 more than "I'm Not the God of Medicine"
.
It can be described as a narrow victory.
But the next day it was surpassed by "I'm Not the God of Medicine" with an advantage of nearly 80 million.
The box office trend of "Uncensored" is very strange. It was 122 million on the first day on Friday. An said that Saturday should be higher than Friday, but "Uncensored" only had a little over 100 million on Saturday, and only a little over 100 million on Sunday.
80 million.
On Wednesday the 18th, official news reported the Prime Minister’s instructions to reduce prices and ensure supply of anti-cancer drugs.
The headline of the news is "The Prime Minister gives instructions on the heated discussion about the movie".
Movie posters are displayed carelessly on the website.
The remote publicity team is not yet capable enough to handle this matter.
It can only be said that the issues reflected in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are of real concern to the government.
The two parties hit it off immediately, and the film took advantage of the official media to promote it to a higher level. The government used the name of the film to effectively respond to social needs.
Liu Yifei was sad. She originally wanted to play the role of Sihui, but neither Wen Muye nor Xu Shanzheng agreed.
Having acted in many commercial films, she likes this realistic tone.
"It's a pity, it's a pity." It wasn't a pity that she didn't have such a high box office.
"What a pity? Don't you have a movie queen?" The family was taking a car to Liu Yifei's grandma's house.
They left Wan Province and entered the territory of Hubei Province.
"It will be difficult to come across such a good book and such a good character in the future." Liu Yifei also knows that a book like "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is hard to come by, and it's really not something you can write if you have the talent and ability.
Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "You let me take a good rest for two years to find inspiration."
"Come on." Liu Yifei said without mercy, "I hope you might as well look for scripts outside. I also know a lot of screenwriters."
Liu Yifei knew that writing scripts was a very time-consuming and laborious task, and she did not expect Cheng Yu'an to come up with a script for her anytime soon.
Then he turned to his daughter and said, "Qiqi, how long has it been since you last seen my great-grandma?"
How could Cheng Mufan still remember this: "Hmm - I don't remember, it's been a long time."
Cheng Yu'an attacked Liu Yifei from the side: "Stop talking about her, how long has it been since you last seen your grandma? You heartless person."
"I..." Liu Yifei said dumbly, "At least I'll call back every once in a while."
Cheng Mufan didn't really have deep feelings for his great-grandmother.
There are two generations between my mother and grandma, and I don’t see them more than a few times a year.
As for other relatives of the Liu family, not to mention Cheng Musan, Liu Yifei may not be close to her even when she is so old.
Not to mention the An family. An Shaokang was in France before and was not very close to his granddaughter. In the past two years, he was transferred back to the capital and would often visit Cheng Muchan.
Cheng Mufan will also call him grandpa.
During the Chinese New Year, An Shaokang would also take Cheng Mufan to his home to play for a few days.
If An Shaokang didn't come to pick him up, Cheng Mufan wouldn't even know which way the door of An's house opened.
After arriving home, Cheng Mufan was warmly welcomed by the Liu family.
Liu Yifei explained the situation: "I haven't been out to play for a long time. I'll take him out for a walk and leave in two days."
Jiangcheng has a lot of delicious food and fun things to do, but when the family landed in Jiangcheng, they just wanted to go home and have a look, and take a rest. They didn’t plan to do anything specifically.
Although Liu Yifei left Jiangcheng when she was young, she has been back frequently in the past few years. She has eaten everything she should eat and played everything she should play.
Not to mention Cheng Yuan, as the son-in-law of Jiangcheng, he has almost visited all of Jiangcheng.
However, Cheng Muchan didn't come to Jiangcheng very often, so she had to pester Liu Yifei to take her out to play.
Liu Yifei had to take her to visit Jiangcheng again.
When Liu Yifei went out, Cheng Yuan had to follow her.
As a son-in-law, he couldn't sit or stand at his wife's natal home, which made Cheng Yu'an feel very uncomfortable.
