Chapter 933 Keep Challenging Your Good Temperament

Unlike "Cheng Yong" in the movie, the original owner Lu Yong is also a leukemia patient.

After he was diagnosed with the disease in 2002, he relied on 23500 yuan a box of sky-high anticancer drugs to stabilize his condition every day. In less than two years, he spent 56 yuan.

And there are very few patients like him who can spend money to continue their lives.

Until one day in 2004, while reading the literature, Lu Yong learned that an Indian manufacturer had imitated this high-priced anti-cancer drug.

Seeing hope, he finally struggled a lot and finally bought the medicine from the island country at a price of 4000 yuan per box.

But because he was afraid of the side effects of generic drugs, he changed a pill for each course of treatment, and then continued to experiment to find the best way to take generic drugs.

His efforts were not in vain. After changing the medicine, his indicators were normal during the physical examination. He shared the good news with his patients, and thousands of people asked him to help buy it.

Because of the large quantity, Lu Yong simply found an Indian manufacturer to negotiate a price to buy. In this way, the monthly cost of the medicines for the patients is less than 200 yuan.

In order to facilitate transactions, he also specially purchased credit cards online.

However, it was the illegal purchase of credit cards that made the police focus on him.

At the same time, his behavior of purchasing generic drugs on behalf of others was also identified as the crime of "selling counterfeit drugs". Even though he wanted to save hard-earned money for leukemia patients, even though the generic drugs were effective, he was still arrested by the police in 2013.

However, miraculously, leukemia patients voluntarily filed a joint complaint online, and published a nationally sensational "Scream for the decriminalization of collective self-rescue behavior for the basic right of survival of leukemia patients".

After tens of thousands of people fought, the procuratorate's final decision on the matter was not to prosecute, on the grounds that "convicting Lu Yong would deviate from the values ​​that criminal justice should have."

This is roughly the true story. In the end, love outweighed the law, and the judge did not convict Lu Yong.

I have to say, how lucky, and it is basically impossible to put it abroad.

The script that Zhou Xia originally planned to create was to modify the character into a program ape in his 30s who was admitted to university from the countryside and had to buy a house to repay the loan.

Of course, the ex-wife will also divorce and fight for child custody.

In this way, the male protagonist makes young people feel more involved, and Lu Yong's research spirit, trying to find the best way to take medicine is also in line with the personality, and even he can play the male protagonist.

But in the end he restrained these personal distractions.

He is already a little tired of directing and acting on his own. Some audiences and movie fans are getting used to this mode, and they no longer feel surprises and expectations.

Also, it looks like he's an alien who can do everything, which is unreal.

And the biggest requirement of this movie is to be real.

Perhaps the setting of the male protagonist in the original movie is a bit routine, but that is for professional filmmakers, and the story can support the characters, so there is no problem.

In life, there are many frustrated people like Cheng Yong who took risks and did many illegal things. Some of them became masters by luck, while others were imprisoned and even paid their lives.

There are very few people who can become good people like Lu Yong. It cannot but be said that Lu Yong is an extraordinary ordinary person.

At the end of the movie, Cheng Yong was sentenced to 5 years and finally performed well and was released from prison for three years. In fact, he also emphasized the importance of the legal system.

Regarding whether law is greater than emotion or emotion is greater than law, this discussion has been mentioned several times in movies, and it is also a hot topic in society today.

The anti-Glenin medicine in India is indeed effective and has countless benefits for patients, but it is also illegally stolen and not complied with international patent laws, let alone smuggled into the country.

However, the Swiss "Greenning" manufacturer that develops and produces real medicines, because of the high R&D costs and market exclusivity of medicines, sells medicines at sky-high prices. Obviously, it is the face of an unscrupulous capitalist who does not give ordinary people a way to survive, and is not worthy of praise and promotion.

In the face of this illegal but intolerable situation, patients, counterfeit drug dealers, smugglers, national law enforcement agencies, genuine drug manufacturers, etc. all have their own positions that must be adhered to.

The contradictions in this are very sharp, and they are extremely realistic and cruel.

Xu Guangtou, an ordinary-looking middle-aged greasy uncle, playing an ordinary or even rotten middle-aged man is obviously more realistic and touching than Zhou Xia's modification of the character settings to create a character who grows into a "medicine god" .

At least his face, no matter how ugly he is, is indeed too different in movies that pursue real little people.

Zhou Xia couldn't decide whether it would be better to modify the character setting or keep the original character.

Therefore, it was rare for him to restrain his own selfish desires and try his best to keep the original film for shooting, feeling like he had defeated himself.

In this way, shooting will save more effort, especially if you don't have to play the complicated role of Cheng Yong, and you won't be so tired.

After editing the scene that was filmed that day, Zhou Xia left the crew by plane and returned to the imperial capital the next morning.

This year's Lunar New Year falls on the ninth month of leap, so the New Year's Eve is relatively late. February 2th is New Year's Eve, so the winter vacation is also relatively late.

The holidays for primary and secondary school students across the country are at the end of January, and the holidays are a few days longer than in previous years.

This is why the second part of "Sword of Heaven" was finally released on January 1, when most students across the country were on holiday.

Otherwise, there are still 18 days until the Spring Festival, and the Lunar New Year holiday is over, so choosing this time period for a blockbuster film is not worth the loss.

But in order to give Xiahua Film and Television's "Monster Hunt", "Havoc in Heaven", "Heart Blossoms", and "Heavenly Lion" as much as possible in the filming space of the four films during the Spring Festival, this choice is considered the best arranged.

Relatively speaking, it is also a good choice if you can occupy the theater for a long time during the winter vacation.

However, after the Lunar New Year file, there are also many blockbuster movies released during this period.

There are Hollywood's "The Seventh Son" and "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies", and "The Hunger Games 2" by the big cousin will be released on February 8. "Sword" still has to compete with these imported films.

Of course, this time, the second part of "Sword of Heaven" will be released simultaneously globally, both in North America and Europe on January 1.

However, several other Hollywood movies have already finished screening overseas, and their screenings in the Mainland have been postponed, so they mainly compete in the domestic market.

During this period of time, the results of Xiahua Film and Television's earlier films have basically come out.

Yaya's "Dear" went offline after a full month of screening on December 12, and finally earned 22 million box office.

Her "You in the Stars" was screened for a full month on January 1. After earning 12 billion, she got the key to postpone and is still showing, with a box office of more than 18.2 billion.

As for other companies’ blockbuster Chinese New Year films, Wu Baige’s "Taiping Wheel" was released on December 12, Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" was released on December 2, and Xu Laoguai was released on December 12. "Taking Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom", because of the explosion of "Star You", has always occupied the top rankings, and the box office has been affected to a certain extent, which is much worse than the performance of the original time and space.

This made the producers of these films feel extremely depressed while being fortunate to have avoided the schedule of "Sword of Heaven".

The schedule of "Sword of Immortal Sword" was so late, it was because they negotiated and made a lot of concessions in exchange for Xia Hua's arrangement.

But in the end, "Star You" is still a big hit, and Xia Hua Film and Television still dominates the Lunar New Year file. After that, how should they compete with Xia Hua in the domestic popular time slot?Could it be that I can only watch Xia Hua Film and Television's films and be my opponent in each schedule?
Zhou Xia is very satisfied with the performance of the company's pioneering "Star You" in the Lunar New Year file. As for the failure of other domestic rival film and television companies, he will naturally not take it to heart.

But now there is a problem that he spared time and left the film crew to participate in film promotion, but in the United States, his son's full moon is today.

The last time Luna was full moon, Zhou Xia was filming "Mermaid" in China, and this time Xiaoyi is also, Yaya must be very upset.

But if she didn't even make a phone call, Yaya would probably ignore him for a long time and not let him know about her situation with her child.

Moreover, during the Chinese New Year, the filming of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is busy, and the wedding with Yaya may also be postponed, or it is necessary to keep things simple...

This is really a constant challenge to Yaya's good temper.
