Walking on the street, Han Zhou suddenly had a feeling like Xu Sanduo.
When walking, I habitually straighten my back and swing my arms in a methodical manner.
In fact, during the past six months, because of the filming of "Farewell My Concubine", as soon as he entered the filming state, he entered the state of Cheng Dieyi. The huge contrast between the two made Han Zhou unaware that he had changed a lot.
Now that the filming of "Farewell My Concubine" has been completed, Han Zhou suddenly has a feeling that he has adapted to the military camp.
It's not just adaptation, it can be said that it's only adaptation to the military camp.
It will probably take some time to adjust to this situation.
Today Han Zhou did not go to Jinling to check out the place, but stayed in Yanjing.
When the filming was about to start, a problem arose that only Han Zhou could solve by himself.
Qiao Eucalyptus Mountain.
The drama club won't let anyone go now.
Qiao Anshan himself was not willing to resign. After all, it was a public office. How could he go back after reaching the end of the universe?
If the drama club refuses to let them go, the preparatory group will be helpless and Han Zhou will have to go in person.
At the entrance of the drama club, a young actor who was secretly practicing his lines saw Han Zhou, was stunned for a moment, a little bit unbelieving, and then looked left and right.
Han Zhou touched his face and asked, "Is there coal dust on my face?"
The young actor heard the voice and confirmed that he was not mistaken, and said excitedly: "Old Han, Han Zhou! Oh, is that you?!"
Han Zhou smiled: "It's me, why?"
Young actor: "Oh my, you've lost so much weight, you look like a monkey!"
"Why do you look so haggard? Did a movie go bankrupt recently?"
Han Zhou smiled awkwardly: "You have a hard time in the drama club, right?"
The young actor was stunned for a moment: "How do you know?"
I don't know what's going on. With your foul mouth, you'll have no future in the troupe unless you wait until you're 30 or 40 years old and wait for your best friends to get promoted.
By that time, you might have offended all your best friends.
Han Zhou patted his shoulder and said, "You are very good at calculating."
The young actor was stunned for a moment: "You... can also read faces?"
Han Zhou nodded: "Your career has been a bit bumpy. I have a solution. Would you like to hear it?"
The young actor was excited: “Yes!”
Not to mention that Han Zhou pretended to be a fortune teller. Given Han Zhou's status among domestic actors, even a casual word of advice would be enough for any actor to benefit from for a lifetime.
Han Zhou: "In the future, when you meet people or encounter things, first think about whether it has anything to do with you. If it doesn't, don't get involved. This will help you avoid bad luck."
While the young actor was thinking, Han Zhou had already walked in.
Turning left and right, Han Zhou, after being excitedly surrounded by many people, also saw a few familiar faces, greeted them, and then went all the way to the office of the theater's head director.
Han Zhou knocked on the door.
"Who is this? Please come in."
Han Zhou opened the door and said, "Hello, Captain Zhou."
Zhou Gan stood up: "Hey, Director Han!"
Han Zhou stepped forward with a smile: "Hello, Captain Zhou."
The two shook hands, and Zhou Gancai smiled and said, "No one comes to visit you for no reason. Director Han came here in person, so there must be something going on, right?"
Han Zhou: "I really have something to do. I want to find Qiao Anshan to make a movie."
Zhou Gan's smile froze, and then he said, "I never thought that this matter would cause Director Han to come to my house in person to ask for someone."
“But I can’t let go.”
Han Zhou: "Can't release it? Why?"
Zhou Gan: "Director Han, you New World are filming In the Name of People, and you have poached all the old guys here at once. They are all going to film your TV series."
"There are only a few plays that the drama troupe can perform now, and you want to find Qiao Anshan again."
"Then we have nothing to perform here!"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment.
Did "In the Name of People" find many people from them?
But that’s true, which of those veteran actors isn’t a member of a drama club, and which of them doesn’t have a drama that’s being performed all the year round?
These people's filming of TV series does have a great impact on their performances.
Generally speaking, good plays can only make money by touring the country.
And it’s impossible for their theater to always perform other people’s plays, right?
Not only will his own tour come to a halt, but his own theater may not even have any plays to perform.
But Han Zhou must have Qiao Anshan.
Over the past year, Qiao Anshan has been reading the script of "Dying to Survive", from the initial version to the final draft, and then to the latest version after many revisions by Wei Yuan and Han Jiaxin.
In the past year, Qiao Yuanshan has been making his image greasy.
Crossing the boundary from thirty to forty.
Just to play Cheng Yong.
It is impossible for Han Zhou to find another Cheng Yong now. It is too late.
The investment in this movie is over 100 million, making it Han Zhou's most expensive movie to date.
If we stagnate due to lack of staff, the cost will increase by 20 million for every additional month.
If some actors' contract period has expired and they have to make up for it, and they have other film contracts, even if they can coordinate their time, it will definitely affect their performance during filming.
Han Zhou must take this person away.
"Captain Zhou, my film is a project initiated by the Human Resources and Social Security Department. Multiple departments are involved, with an investment of over 100 million yuan. It involves more than 300 well-known actors and thousands of special actors and actresses."
"With such a huge cost, it is impossible to stop. Qiao Anshan must be in place."
Director Zhou: "Then I have to consider the drama club as well. We are not just a drama troupe, we also have the B troupe, the B troupe, the C troupe, the Junior troupe, the Youth troupe, as well as the backup actors and the logistics, all waiting for meals."
"Unless we are rehearsing a new play, it is impossible to stop performing, right?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Captain Zhou wanted to write a script for him himself, but he was beating around the bush here.
If it were half a year ago, I should have thought of the first sentence Han Zhou would say when he came to my house. However, I have been training more in the past six months, and when I hear a lot of words, I don’t think about the meaning behind them the first time, but think about whether I can do it.
That's why I didn't react.
"Then I can write a script for you and rehearse a new play, isn't that enough?"
Director Zhou laughed out loud: "Oh, do we have such an honor? The No. 1 screenwriter and director of Chinese-language films writes a play specifically for us. We are flattered, flattered!"
"Then I won't be polite!"
"Although I also want to show my elegance, but we are poor, I won't refuse!"
In fact, what he said was true.
There are very few dramas that can remain popular and be performed for decades.
A normal drama is just rehearsed and then performed on stage.
If it's a big success, it'll go on a national tour.
If the national tour is also successful, then this legendary drama is worth continuing to be performed on one's own stage for a year.
If people are still watching after one year, I'll continue to perform for three, five, or ten years.
By analogy, when a play can last for more than ten years, it has become a god-like play.
But in fact, the reality is that the drama club has no plays to film at all.
Generally, they only act in world-famous dramas at home and abroad.
People come to see your debut for fun, so even if it gets high reviews, you won't be able to perform too many shows in the future.
Even if you get a new script, you can only perform it once and then that’s it.
To put it bluntly, most of the time rehearsals are just a one-time deal.
How long does it take to rehearse a play before it goes on stage? How can you make money if you stop performing it after a few performances?
Sometimes, you even have to sacrifice some time for official tasks.
In this case, there is really no money.
However, in the field of drama, everyone is basically a drama fanatic, and what they pursue is the drama, not the money.
This results in everyone being unable to speak out their grievances and not complaining to their superiors.
There was not enough money from above, and the eldest son in the family was sensible and did not ask for money. I was very happy. Even if I had heard it, I would have pretended not to hear it, after all, there were too many brothers and sisters in the family.
So when Captain Zhou heard that Han Zhou wanted Qiao Anshan, he knew that his chance had come.
So many people here go to New World to film TV series, and now the young generation may say goodbye to the drama stage and just have a nominal position. There must be something in exchange, right?
Isn't it a transfer fee?
That's why Captain Zhou was waiting for Han Zhou to speak.
Originally, Han Zhou didn't say anything. He was extremely worried in his heart, fearing that Han Zhou wouldn't say anything.
As soon as Han Zhou opened his mouth, he agreed immediately and there was no chance for him to regret.
Han Zhou: "What kind of script do you want?"
"Can it be filmed and become wildly popular internationally?"
"Can he be deified in the country and written into history?"
"Very, very profitable?"
"Bold and innovative?"
Captain Zhou is like the woodcutter, facing the river god's classic question, "Did you drop this golden axe or this silver axe?"
Those who don’t know will say golden axe.
I'm afraid no one would say Silver Axe.
Director Zhou: "There's no need to have such high standards. As long as we can feed the actors in the troupe, that's enough!"
Han Zhou: “Oh.”
"Do you want something classical, ancient, period, or modern?"
"Is it about love, family and country, or the display of the times?"
Team leader Zhou's face was filled with smiles: "It's all fine, we're not picky."
Han Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
"Then I'll give you the "Secret Love..." I wrote before."
Han Zhou suddenly thought of something: "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land" might not be able to be performed in this world.
Because the Taiwan Strait is now part of China.
Han Zhou changed his words: "Thunderstorm, I'll send it to you in the evening."
Director Zhou excitedly shook Han Zhou's hand and said, "You have to come and give us guidance during the rehearsal!"
Han Zhou smiled and said, "There's nothing much to instruct. You are all professionals. On the contrary, I have never been involved in a play. I have only seen and written about it. Isn't this an amateur instructing professionals?"
"Just study the script."
Originally, Han Zhou wanted to give "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land" a chance to become a long-term meal ticket for the drama troupe for at least twenty years.
But I can’t give it to you, I can only give it to Lei Yu.
Han Zhou just wants to say, you are so lucky.
…
The script of the project "I Am Not a God of Medicine" has been circulated within the human resources and social security departments and relevant offices.
However, only the big guys are watching.
Some people were very angry after watching it.
Some people can only sigh after watching it.
After reading this, has anyone thought about whether this script can be filmed?
Someone clapped his hands and said: We must clap our hands!
These things have nothing to do with Han Zhou.
After all, Fourth Uncle said that if he took action, he would definitely be able to take the photo and would definitely be able to get an approval from the human resources and social security department.
Even more, this movie will transcend the meaning of the movie and affect reality.
So don't worry.
Han Zhou also unexpectedly welcomed guests.
Ruitu, Ansheng Pharmaceutical.
The representative of the China region has found a new world.
Yang Hong felt that she couldn't discuss this matter herself, so she could only let Han Zhou discuss it himself.
Han Zhou returned to the company and met this guest who was only willing to talk in Han Zhou's office and not in the conference room.
He was certain that there were no surveillance devices in Han Zhou's office, but it was hard to say about the conference room.
Honestly, pretty smart.
Han Zhou looked at the man in front of him.
He was wearing a suit, was thin, wore glasses, and looked very gentle.
Han Zhou smiled and held out his hand: "Mr. Fu, right?"
Ansheng Pharmaceuticals China Representative President Fu Minsheng extended his hand: "Hello, Mr. Han Zhou."
After Han Zhou shook hands with him, he raised his hand and said, "Please sit down."
After they sat down, Han Zhou spoke: "Mr. Fu is looking for me..."
Fu Minsheng leaned forward and approached Han Zhou: "We hope that your company's new movie will not mention our drugs or the name of our company."
Han Zhou hasn't spoken yet.
Fu Minsheng: "Two hundred million. For your next movie, we will pay you two hundred million to buy the first advertising spot."
Han Zhou: "The next movie won't be about the pharmaceutical industry, it's hard to advertise, this one will advertise for you for free, no money required."
Fu Minsheng sat up straight: "So... we don't want to talk about it?"
Han Zhou nodded: "The script cannot be changed, the preparations are complete, and it is imperative to do so."
Fu Minsheng had thought about this result.
Now, Fu Minsheng approached the table: "Then...if you change CML to CLL, and switch from Gleevec to Ibrutinib, we will pay 500 million!"
More than 500 million?
The incidence rate of chronic myeloid leukemia is two per 100,000 people abroad, and one per 100,000 people in China.
How many CML patients are there in the country? Each box of medicine costs 25,000 per month, and the total sales volume is 3.7 billion per year.
Han Zhou smiled and shook his head: "Let me think about it."
Fu Minsheng smiled: "It doesn't matter, I believe I have no competitors."
After seeing Fu Minsheng off, Han Zhou smiled and nodded his head.
If the manufacturer of ibrutinib came to Han Zhou and asked him to make sure he took the drug for chronic myeloid leukemia or Gleevec, Han Zhou would take the job.
However, Han Zhou could not accept the same task issued by Gleevec.
Because the incidence rate of chronic lymphocytic leukemia is as high as 5 in 100,000 people abroad, but it is 5 in 10 million people in China.
The numbers represented by these two groups are not the same.
Simply put, the high cost and unaffordability of CML drugs has become a social phenomenon, while the high cost and unaffordability of CLL drugs is still a small probability individual case.
These are not the same thing at all.
In fact, both diseases are chronic leukemias, but one is granulocytic and the other is lymphocytic.
But the resulting photo is a completely different story.
Fu Minsheng believes that there are only about 1,000 CLL patients in China. The manufacturer of ibrutinib can only make 200 million yuan a year in China by using this drug. It is impossible to spend 500 million yuan to do this.
But he was wrong.
Representatives from Qiangsheng Group came to Han Zhou's office less than an hour after Fu Minsheng visited Han Zhou.
"Seven hundred million, we must make Ansheng Group famous!"
Although the drug ibrutinib is indeed not that profitable, what about Qiangsheng Group?
Almost all daily chemical products in the world are made by their company, including most of the shampoos available in China.
If Han Zhou deliberately skips the subsidiary link when making the movie and directly names it Qiangsheng Group, it will be a devastating blow to Qiangsheng Group.
Therefore, when the people from Qiangsheng Group heard that Fu Minsheng had taken action, they did not say much and went straight to the point of increasing their intensity.
Han Zhou actually didn't want to answer any of them.
Because although the current incidence of CLL is very low, in fact, with the aging of the population, the incidence is soaring, and it is estimated that it will increase tenfold in just about ten years.
In just ten years, China will reach an era of high incidence of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
After everyone left, Yang Hong was shocked: "Money, is it so easy to make?"
"How many hundreds of millions are being given away?"
Of all the movies in the world so far, is there any movie whose advertising has sold nine-figure sums?
700 million? That's more than 100 million US dollars!
This movie has already paid for itself and generated seven times the profit before it even started filming!
Han Zhou: "If you look at the script carefully and know how easy it is for them to make money, you will understand why it is so easy for us to make money."
Yang Hong didn't dwell on this question. She was indeed very busy and had no time to kill by reading scripts.
The task set last year was not completed, but has almost been completed so far this year.
The shares promised by Han Zhou were naturally downgraded, but the specific amount depended on Han Zhou's mood.
However, you have to complete the task at least to get points.
Yang Hong asked: "How did they know the script?"
Han Zhou shook his head.
Can you say this?
One drug, a market worth tens of billions a year.
There are more than a dozen such special-effect drugs, representing a market worth hundreds of billions.
Such huge profits are enough to drive anyone crazy.
Why was it so difficult for the previous version of "Dying to Survive" to be released? Isn't it because of this?
Why was it released? It was only because the name of the drug and the name of the pharmaceutical company were changed, and then someone worked hard to clear the obstacles, so it was released.
And this time, because of the leadership of the human resources and social security departments, the filming and release of "Dying to Survive" are unstoppable.
It is also impossible to change the name of the drug or the name of the pharmaceutical company.
And pharmaceutical companies are also well aware that once the movie is released, public sentiment will be aroused.
If I had sued the movie for copyright infringement at that time, I would have had a 100% chance of losing and would not have been able to win.
Even with the human resources and social security departments taking the lead, these pharmaceutical companies dare not move.
If we are allowed to shoot now, we will be scolded and suffer heavy injuries. If we are not allowed to shoot, we will offend China's human resources and social security department. No matter how big your enterprise is, you will die if they say so.
Do you believe that China will develop a drug with exactly the same efficacy next year, give it a different name, and sell it on the market?
Even China directly told you, if you want to sell drugs in my country, give me the formula and let you sell it for three years. After three years, I will produce the drugs myself, and you can authorize me. What, you don’t want to authorize me? Then don’t sell it, and don’t talk about it anymore.
So as soon as they got the news, they went directly to the door to give money.
Things like scripts are not confidential materials and anyone can see them.
It would be weird and strange for an enterprise like theirs to not have a single good friend in so many departments. It would be against human nature.
However, Han Zhou did not feel any psychological pressure at all when accepting this kind of money.
If they take this money, it will be given to the dogs.
Han Zhou can do a lot of things if he gets it.
For example, New World is such a big company, but it hasn't done charity work in a high-profile manner for a long time. It's a perfect opportunity to use its several hundred million yuan for charity, which can both bring good reputation and do practical things.
There was a certain tone of opinion in the comment section of the previous version of "Dying to Survive".
The pharmaceutical companies are not wrong, the patients are not wrong, the police are not wrong, the smuggling is not wrong, no one is wrong, the problem is poverty.
It's just fart.
Everyone makes mistakes. Living in this world, who can say that they have never made mistakes?
You said that it costs hundreds of millions of US dollars for a pharmaceutical company to develop a special medicine. If they don't sell it at a high price, they won't have the money to develop new drugs, so it's right for them to charge a high price?
That's because you haven't calculated how much medicine they can sell nationwide and globally.
The drug Gleevec paid for itself in the first year after it was released.
This is certainly true, but the problem is that major pharmaceutical companies generally claim that they will lower drug prices as long as they have a certain profit.
In fact, he had already made a lot of money.
On the one hand, they say they will lower the price, but on the other hand, they keep selling expensive drugs. This is commonly known as pretending to be a whore.
You said the patient was right?
There is something wrong with this statement. The rules of a society are here, and any behavior that breaks the rules is wrong. You can say that they are not bad in order to survive, but you cannot say that they are not wrong.
Of course, no one really cares whether they are right or not. It's just that in the context of the ridiculous argument that everyone is right, they mention that they are not wrong. This is a typical example of avoiding the important issue. Saying that they are not wrong is not a good thing for them.
It is because they are wrong, and they should not have been wrong, but ended up being wrong, that someone should come and change this reality and change their living conditions. This is the truth.
You say the police are not wrong? The police uphold the law, so they are not wrong? You are totally wrong. The first priority of the police is to be a national violence organ and to maintain the stability of the country and society.
The second priority is to serve the people .
Only third comes the turn to uphold the law.
When the three conflict, the election is more important than the less important. The state represents all the people, so of course it is the most important. Then, if some people, a large part of the people, encounter problems, then that is more important than upholding the law.
You know, the principle of the law is to give everyone hope, so there is the concept of emergency risk avoidance. Buying smuggled drugs is also an emergency risk avoidance.
In fact, the prototype story explains this issue very clearly.
In "Dying to Survive", Cheng Yong went to jail and then came out.
In the prototype reality, the court gave up prosecuting Cheng Yong, so he only completed his two-year sentence during the evidence collection period, but he has no criminal record.
And it's smuggling, yes.
Smuggling is not wrong, but it is absolutely wrong!
The operation of a country depends entirely on taxes, and tariffs are the biggest part.
Smuggling means not paying taxes, not paying taxes means no money, no money means a lot of things related to national economy and people's livelihood cannot be done, how can this be right?
Therefore, in "Dying to Survive", there is no such thing as no one is wrong.
The basic idea of ​​"Dying to Survive" is that everyone is wrong and everyone makes mistakes.
But "Dying to Survive" says that it is poverty that is to blame.
However, there is nothing wrong with being poor. It is just that in the social reality, many people feel that being poor is wrong.
This was later proven to be "poverty is the right thing to do", because the government intervened, special medicines were included in the medical insurance, and the prices were cut to the lowest level.
If poverty is wrong, then why is the country working so hard to address this problem?
Many people often have a question: if a bad person does a good thing, he becomes a great good person.
The country is improving its economy and people's livelihood every day, and if there is something unsatisfactory or a policy is slow, a bunch of people will come out to curse.
This is called "a little help is a debt of gratitude, a big help is a debt of resentment" or "Stockholm syndrome".
People simply don’t understand that at the national level, many so-called big events are so small that they are not noticed, so small that people don’t even know about them until public opinion mentions them.
Once you notice it, you start to solve it. Looking at the entire universe, that is the best official thing to do.
Don’t you see that the solution to the rampant drug epidemic in the United States is to legalize drugs?
With such explosive examples around, who would dare to compare China with them? They don’t deserve it!
After sorting out these issues, it is not difficult to find out why "Dying to Survive" was released and why it received support from the human resources and social security departments.
Unfortunately, the relevant departments and even the country only do things but do not publicize them in various matters.
I suffered the loss because I can't brag.
So many people don’t understand movies, nor do they understand reality.
However, Han Zhou did not plan to change the plot of "Dying to Survive" and did not plan to explain things very clearly.
Because, sparking discussion is itself the biggest success and charm of "Dying to Survive".
Speaking of online discussions, Lu Xiaosheng, the boss of the country's largest online troll team, is currently in the office across from Han Zhou's office, discussing how to deal with a certain artist in the Beijing circle.
Han Zhou is not worried that someone will come out to lead the trend.
Even if Gleevec is not successful now, it will be impossible to find someone to lead the pace in the future.
Because Han Zhou had seen it once and knew how they attacked, his moves were faster and more powerful.
At present, this movie is not just about box office success, nor does it have the need to win any awards.
In this movie, what Han Zhou wants to do is to let those who deserve to be scolded be scolded, let those who deserve attention get attention, and let those who deserve to be praised be praised.
This movie is not made for movie fans.
But it was filmed for everyone in the new world to see.
All employees of this recently established company, which is already poised to become a leader in the national film industry, clearly understand their own position, the company's position, and understand what they are fighting for and why they are working in the entertainment industry.
The New World is expanding too fast.
The company almost didn't have a slogan, a vision, or a goal.
Now, this slogan is coming.
"For China, entertain for China, and bring Chinese entertainment to the world."
