Chapter 605 Hua Lai's Expectations
The staff of Hualai and other National Welfare Medical Research Center are even more full of expectations.
Because they know very well how much help a good and relevant film can bring to their research career.
I have to say that.
Because of its own influence, it is already very huge.
So this time, in order to maintain the mystery of the movie, Su Chen took the approach of releasing the movie first.
Unlike before, the novel version of the work was not released first.
As for the novel version of "Dying to Survive", Su Chen decided to wait until the movie was withdrawn before releasing it.
After a few minutes of waiting.
After an opening advertisement, the lights in the theater suddenly dimmed.
On the big screen, the image of the Great Wall turning into a dragon appeared.
This means that "Dying to Survive" has officially started screening.
The movie camera is focused on the interior of a store.
The first thing the audience saw was some eye-catching packaging.
Then I saw the words "Indu Magic Oil".
The store owner, Cheng Yong, was playing a poker game in front of a brick-like computer.
Let the phone keep ringing and just don't answer it.
Then the movie camera extends outward.
This is a very down-to-earth street in Shanghai.
The sign of "Prince India Oil Shop" is very eye-catching on the street.
Seeing this opening, the audiences were all excited.
Indeed, the trailer released earlier had some wonderful shots, but there were no specific details.
It was not until after reading the beginning that everyone realized that the protagonist Cheng Yong was actually a small boss who sold Indian magic oil.
Thinking of this, everyone in the No. 1 viewing room couldn't help but look in Su Chen's direction with a bit of evil taste.
Brother Chen is really something. I never thought that a normal person like him could do such a trick.
Faced with such a situation, Su Chen could only remain calm.
Respect the original work. Although the beginning is a bit eye-catching, in other words, it is also very down-to-earth.
Isn’t this what netizens like?
This made the beauties nearby, such as Yang Mi, Deng Ziqi, Zhao Liying, and Zifeng's sister, all unable to hold back their laughter.
I can’t believe that Su Chen, a fat otaku, can actually design such a plot.
In fact, everyone laughed a lot during the filming of the movie.
After so many baptisms, everyone has become immune, but under the influence of the atmosphere on the scene, everyone still couldn't help laughing.
Su Chen had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
If everyone asks him why he is so familiar with these things?
He really didn't need to explain. After all, his life experiences had nothing to do with those contents.
Fortunately, Yang Mi, Deng Ziqi and others still know how to behave themselves.
I didn't pester him or ask him about this issue.
Hua Lai and others were also panicked for a moment when they saw this scene.
However, their attention was still focused on how Su Chen responded to the patient's suffering.
So, they kept staring at the movie screen.
At this time, the camera turned to the "Love Hotel" next door.
An old man attracted by a steamed bun pushed aside the curtain and walked out, then entered the "Prince India Divine Oil Shop".
"Old Cheng!"
Before entering the door, the old man shouted.
An Indian doll hanging in front of the door waved to welcome guests and made a sound of "welcome".
Seeing this scene, the audience burst into laughter again.
This customized Indian doll is quite interesting.
Some viewers with dirty minds are already wondering if there are other more exciting dolls in Cheng Yong's store?
"The landlord called me again."
The old man came in and explained his purpose directly.
"I said you didn't open the door."
Cheng Yong, with a cigarette in his mouth, bowed to the old man to express his gratitude.
"Thank you!"
The old man said earnestly:
"Pay the rent quickly."
Cheng Yong looked bitter:
"I can't pay it. I have no money!"
“The products are not selling well.”
The old man turned around with a sneer.
Cheng Yong asked:
"Hey, is the oil I gave you last time still in your hotel?"
The old man looked disdainful:
"It's on display, but no one uses it."
"Everyone uses Wei Ge now, no one uses that thing."
"I've used that thing before, and it's totally useless!"
After saying that, the old man left Cheng Yong’s magic oil shop.
Cheng Yong complained:
"No use for the ball? Can't you do it yourself?"
Hahahahaha…
Seeing this scene, laughter broke out in the theater.
"Brother Chen is so disgusting!"
"Whose fault is it? Hahaha..."
"How come Brother Chen knows so much about this!"
"This part is not suitable for children! Haha!"
“…”
At the same time, the audience's dirty eyes swept over Su Chen.
Su Chen spread his hands helplessly.
As I said, respect the original work.
Moreover, given Cheng Yong's identity and background, the subsequent changes made the story even more dramatic.
If Su Chen changed Cheng Yong to another background, I wonder what the effect would be.
Su Chen would not take such a risk.
Especially now, when he wants to enter the global film market.
Any mistake may eventually lead to huge losses.
You can laugh if you want to, as long as more people are willing to buy tickets to go to the cinema to watch "Dying to Survive".
But amid the laughter of the crowd.
The plot of the movie suddenly became heavy.
Cheng Yong first went to a nursing home to visit his old father who had suffered a stroke and had no money to treat it. When he came out, he could only pay for one month's nursing fees because he had no money.
Next, the ex-wife fought for the custody of their son Cheng Xiaoshu.
Cheng Yong became so angry and embarrassed by his ex-wife's sharp words that he started fighting.
My ex-wife was pregnant and she fell to the ground and almost had a miscarriage.
This made Cao Bin, the former brother-in-law who was a police officer, furious, and he rushed over to beat Cheng Yong. Fortunately, other police officers held him back.
Cheng Yong also knew that he had made a mistake and curled up helplessly in the corner.
Watching this scene, the audience in the theater felt heavy-hearted.
I can't even pay the rent for the shop.
My old father is sick and has no money to treat his illness.
His ex-wife divorced him because he had no money.
Because of lack of money, his ex-wife is about to lose custody of his son.
This is undoubtedly extremely uncomfortable for a middle-aged man.
At the same time, the film critics at the scene couldn't help but give a big thumbs up to Su Chen's acting skills.
Su Chen is not even twenty-five years old!
However, he managed to perfectly portray the image of an embarrassed middle-aged man.
If you didn't know Su Chen's real age in advance, you would really think that the actor who plays Cheng Yong is also a middle-aged uncle in real life.
Fortunately, Su Chen had previously played the role of the "country bumpkin" Cheng Dongqing, which made everyone immune to Su Chen playing contrasting roles. Otherwise, who knows what a sensation it would have been at the scene.
Cinematic Lens Transitions:
That morning, Cheng Yong was still brushing his teeth when the old man who ran the hotel next door came over again.
But this time the old man brought someone else with him.
"Old Cheng! Come on, come on, introduce yourself."
"This is my old neighbor, his last name is Lu, Lu benefits."
"This is Boss Cheng."
The old man enthusiastically introduced both parties.
"Hello!"
Lu Shouyi bent down and greeted Cheng Yong.
Cheng Yong just nodded slightly.
He was a little confused. The old man brought someone here early in the morning, and he didn't know what he wanted to do.
"What's going on?"
The old man explained his purpose:
"He wants you to bring him some medicine in India."
Hearing these words, Cheng Yong immediately realized that something was wrong:
"Bringing medicine? Smuggling?"
The old man sneered:
"Aren't all the things you sell smuggled?"
"Just chat among yourselves! I'm leaving now!"
Cheng Yong was a little unhappy and followed the old man out of the store:
"Why do you tell others everything?"
The old man looked at Cheng Yong, feeling a little disappointed:
"Aren't you short of money?"
"I brought you a business, shouldn't you thank me?"
"This thing is very profitable! Let's talk nicely!"
Lu Shouyi's waist was slightly bent, and he solemnly took off the three-layer mask.
Then he took out an orange and placed it in front of Cheng Yong:
"Eat an orange."
Cheng Yong sneered:
"Don't try that on me!"
"You know you'll go to jail if you're caught smuggling drugs, right?"
Lu Shouyi smiled apologetically:
"Not really."
Cheng Yong scolded:
"What do you mean? Besides, given the huge risk, you only gave me 30,000 yuan?"
When Lu Shouyi heard that things had taken a turn for the better, he immediately perked up:
“But this is a business opportunity!”
"Boss, the domestic genuine medicine costs 37,000 yuan a bottle, and the Indian generic medicine costs 2,000 yuan a bottle. The efficacy of the two is exactly the same!"
"If you bring more back..."
Cheng Yong was shocked when he heard this and immediately asked:
"The efficacy is exactly the same? The price difference is twenty times!"
As a businessman, there is no need for Lu to benefit from the majority. Cheng Yong has already seen the huge profit space here.
If he could bring back more medicine from India to sell, he would definitely make a fortune.
But on second thought, I felt that this was unlikely.
He immediately pushed Lu Shouyi away:
“Get out, get out!”
Lu Shouyi was anxious.
He originally thought that the matter was going to be settled, but he didn't expect that after talking for a long time, Cheng Yong actually didn't believe it.
"Really? I asked someone to test it. Boss, I have leukemia myself. If I could afford it, I would go myself."
Cheng Yong sneered:
"Even if you can't afford it, don't you have any relatives or friends?"
"To put it bluntly, aren't you just afraid of being caught?"
"I won't do such a thing, find someone else!"
Lu Shouyi pleaded:
"No, you have been doing smuggling for a long time, you must have channels..."
Cheng Yong frowned:
"Who is smuggling?"
"I'm telling you, I've never smuggled anything!"
"Of course not, hurry up and leave!"
The cautious and timid Cheng Yong would not dare to touch such things at this time.
Moreover, he was worried that Lu Shouyi would spread the news of his smuggling of the Indian Divine Oil, which would put him in trouble.
Lu Shouyi still didn't give up:
"Then let's leave a phone number, okay?"
Cheng Yong waved his hand to refuse.
But Lu Shouyi didn't give any explanation. He took out a pen and wrote down his phone number directly on a business card with a picture of a hot-eyed girl on it:
"If you change your mind, just give me a call, okay?"
"I... am waiting for medicine to save my life."
After saying that, Lu Shouyi put on the three-layer mask again.
"I'm leaving."
Left Cheng Yong's magic oil shop disappointed.
When he left, Lu Shouyi's body hunched over again.
After watching Cheng Yong's performance, the audience was talking about it:
"There must be something hateful about pitiful people! This Cheng Yong is too mercenary and too cowardly!"
"You are so poor that you can barely afford to eat, yet you are still pretending to be serious!"
"I am even more curious about how someone as cautious and concerned as Cheng Yong ended up selling generic Indian drugs."
“I feel like something big might be about to happen again!”
“…”
At the same time, the film critics in "Hard Ting" have given rave reviews to Mr. Xiaogang's role as Lu Shouyi.
"It's rare to be able to give such a performance in your first movie!"
"Lv Shouyi's hunched body at the beginning and when he left showed the plight of leukemia patients struggling to survive! Teacher Xiaogang actually grasped the essence of this accurately. I wonder how much credit Teacher Su Chen has for this?"
"It seems that Teacher Su Chen's ability to train actors is also first-rate."
“…”
But of course, after watching Teacher Xiaogang's performance, everyone thought of Su Chen.
I think a large part of the credit goes to Su Chen. You know, Su Chen's ability to teach and mentor is also top-notch. Just look at the progress of Yang Mi, Deng Ziqi and others.
Before this, the acting skills of these people could be described as hard to describe.
But under Su Chen's training, she quickly reached the level of Best Actress.
Teacher Xiaogang now may have to follow in their footsteps.
Hualai and other staff members from the National Welfare Medical Research Center felt more touched when they saw Lu Shouyi's figure.
Because they have seen too many patients like Lu Shouyi.
In order to survive, they spent all their wealth, but the sky-high prices of drugs overwhelmed them and crushed their bodies, until finally, their families were broken up.
Thinking of this, they turned their eyes to Su Chen again.
Fortunately, with the appearance of Teacher Su Chen, such tragedies are gradually decreasing.
With the huge financial support from Teacher Su Chen, Hualai believes that there is no problem they cannot overcome.
In the near future, when cheap alternatives to most life-saving drugs are developed, the world will become a better place.
The movie continues to play.
Sure enough, next, Cheng Yong’s old father suddenly fainted.
His old father was seriously ill and required huge medical expenses, which made Cheng Yong even more overwhelmed.
That night, Cheng Yong went to drink to drown his sorrows. After three rounds of drinks, Cheng Yong even thought about asking his ex-wife for help.
But Cheng Yong's pride as a male chauvinist prevented him from opening his mouth. He picked up the phone, then put it down again.
Finally, Cheng Yong suddenly thought of Lu Shouyi's method.
Although there are risks in selling generic drugs, the benefits are huge.
Now he is in urgent need of money to save his old father. Cheng Yong no longer cares about the risks.
Immediately, Cheng Yong wanted to call Lu Shouyi.
However, it was only at this time that Cheng Yong discovered that he did not carry the contact number left by Lu Shouyi with him, but left it in the magic oil shop.
