Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 237 Zhou Yang's acting skills have reached god-like status!
The movie continues, and Zhou Yang finally makes his appearance, playing the role of Lü Shouyi.

Lu Shouyi contracted leukemia and asked Cheng Yong to go to India to buy generic versions of the effective drug Gleevec, and then sell them to leukemia patients who could not afford the expensive imported drugs.

Zhou Yang was thin and his face was yellowish, making him almost unrecognizable to the audience.

"Is this Zhou Yang?"

"Where did Brother Yang's muscular physique go? He's gotten so skinny!"

"Impressive! He's put a lot of effort into his image, and I'm looking forward to his performance."

"However, the way he struggled to survive was truly tragic."

"You could say that the way he struggled to survive was like that of a wronged dog!"

Zhou Yang frowned. The person involved was right next to him; he shouldn't speak in a way that sounded like he was insulting them.

This proves that Zhou Yang has demonstrated excellent image and acting skills, breaking the audience's preconceived notion of his dull image.

Subsequently, due to a series of unforeseen events, Cheng Yong decided to go to India to purchase counterfeit Gleevec.

This segment also features scenes that will have the audience in stitches.

The fat man, using the excuse of the risk involved in transporting the goods, kept raising the price, forcing Cheng Yong to pay more. Cheng Yong hesitated for a moment, then took out some money from his pocket while muttering to himself:

"Fatty!"

"You Indian, you've become heartless!"

"You fatso, you're becoming more and more like a pig, even smarter than a monkey."

"..."

This scene made the audience in the movie theater burst into laughter, with a chorus of pig squeals filling the air.

"Haha, that's hilarious! They're both such great actors!"

"Haha, I bet that fatso is cursing Cheng Yong in his heart too."

"They were both so mischievous, swearing at each other while shaking hands and laughing non-stop, it was hilarious."

"Indians, haha, what would their reaction be if this movie were shown in India and they heard this?"

"..."

However, when Cheng Yong returned, he found that he could not find a buyer. Despite the large number of leukemia patients, Cheng Yong's drug was so cheap that no one could believe it.

Cheng Yong and Lü Shouyi are trapped in a predicament from which they cannot extricate themselves.

When the moment had almost passed and he could no longer wait, Lü Shouyi suddenly remembered someone: Liu Sihui, the administrator of the patient support group.

Her daughter suffers from leukemia. Through Si Hui's promotion, fellow patients flocked to buy the medicine, and Cheng Yong sold the medicine, which cost him 500 yuan, for 4,000 yuan.

This caused profits to increase nearly tenfold in an instant!
One hundred bottles of counterfeit Gleevec brought Cheng Yong a profit of 350,000 yuan!

This left the audience in awe.

"The profit margin is just too high!"

"If generic drugs are this profitable, then what about the legitimate drugs that cost tens of thousands of yuan? They must be even more terrifying!"

"It seems selling medicine is the most profitable industry!"

"This is incredibly profitable! I want to try it too!"

"I just got back from begging in Dubai, and now someone's trying to trick me into trying it again?"

"..."

Having earned their first sum of money, the next step was to expand the business. This required someone who could communicate with foreign friends, so Lü Shouyi recommended Pastor Liu from the church.

He could read the English Bible fluently and communicate with foreign friends without any problems. He also joined a young man searching for medicine, and the team gradually grew. Meanwhile, Cheng Yong obtained the distribution rights for generic drugs in China and began purchasing large quantities, making a fortune.

However, successful people often become the focus of attention, and the police and fake drug dealers came knocking on his door. Helpless, Cheng Yong confessed to everyone and said goodbye at the hot pot restaurant.

The team has disbanded!

The hot pot restaurant scene broke the hearts of viewers, especially the part where Lü Shouyi was driven away by Cheng Yong, his helpless and desperate figure fading into the rainy night. Some viewers couldn't help but cry softly.

Even Zhou Yang couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

To better portray the character of Lü Shouyi, he studied a lot of information on terminally ill patients and spent a lot of time with them in the hospital.

He deeply felt the helplessness and despair that came from a hopeless life.

Viewers also noticed that from this moment on, the film gradually entered a depressing atmosphere.

Next, as Zhang Changlin continued to raise prices, Lü Shouyi and others would have no choice but to await their deaths.

Finally, due to the worsening of his condition, Lü Shouyi decided not to be a burden on his family any longer and chose to end his young life.

After Lü Shouyi's death, Cheng Yong decided to resume selling drugs. In order to make the effective drugs affordable for patients, he was willing to sell them at a loss.

However, when the police finally came to investigate, Huang Mao was found to have died in an accident, and Cheng Yong was sentenced to prison for selling counterfeit drugs.

When Cheng Yong was released from prison, only Cao Bin came to greet him, which seemed to imply that most of the patients who had lost his medication had died.

As the credits rolled, the film came to a close in this somber atmosphere.

The audience applauded and cheered for the film. Zhou Yang looked up and saw that everyone's eyes were filled with tears.

"This is truly a remarkable masterpiece!"

"It was so touching! I almost burst into tears after watching it, sob sob..."

"This movie reminded me of my cousin, who resorted to self-harm because she couldn't afford the medical bills, sob sob..."

"This is a truly good movie; it reflects the harshness of reality."

"Zhou Yang's performance was truly breathtaking; he perfectly portrayed a patient suffering from a terminal illness!"

"Xu Shanzheng and Zhou Yang are destined to become superstars!"

"I'm sure 'Dying to Survive' will be a huge hit! I want to see it a second time! A third time!"

……

Zhou Yang, Xu Shanzheng, and Wen Muye walked out of the cinema with solemn expressions. At the same time, another theater had just finished screening "The Great Wall," and the audience members also left the theater one after another.

"What a terrible movie! I want a refund!"

"The Great Wall is a terrible movie, just an embarrassing star-studded carnival!"

"This is the worst monster movie I've seen in nearly ten years, it's utter garbage!"

……

Hearing their comments, Zhou, Yang, and the other two looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and joy. They knew that "Dying to Survive" had finally been a success!

Sure enough, the next day, the Douban ratings for both films were released simultaneously. "Dying to Survive" received a score of 9.0, while "The Great Wall" only received 4.9, a difference of 4.1 points.

However, the box office results for midnight screenings were completely different: "The Great Wall" reached 67 million, while "Dying to Survive" only reached 32 million.

However, Zhou Yang is not worried about the box office, as word-of-mouth is the best guarantee, and it is only a matter of time before "Dying to Survive" surpasses "The Great Wall".

At the same time, people began to discuss Zhou Yang's acting skills in his role as Lü Shouyi, which directly topped the trending search list.
