tearjerker director

Chapter 371 Who Says Those Who Stand in the Light Are Heroes? (Seeking a monthly pass, asking for a subscription)

The premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" ended, and the premiere of "Flowers of War" also ended around this time.

Although there is still a few hours to wait for the box office on the first day, the feedback from the first batch of watching movies has already come out.

Many fans who watched the movie for the first time couldn't wait to post their impressions on the Internet.

The first is "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!
"It's shocking. The movie can do well. This movie has done it. What's left is that this era doesn't make it better. In the torrent of great changes we have just experienced, there are countless such little people in the torrent of the times. They are struggling to survive in the middle of the world, and at the same time trying not to lose their souls. Finally, there is such a movie that allows us to see the times, see goodwill, and see hope. I hope this movie can also be treated kindly by this era.”

"I burst into tears because of the sentence "Who doesn't have a patient yet", lamenting that life is hopeless in the face of "poor diseases". I feel that Huaguo finally has our own powerful realistic movies!"

"I like Zhou Guo's performance the most, almost all the tears were given to him! Because the birth of his son saw the hope of life, he longed to live, but in the end, he also wanted to take the burden off his wife and children. , let their future have hope, so I chose to kill myself, the last smile, it hurts so much!"

"There was "A Garland Under the Mountain" before, and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" later, it's worthy of being your dog director, awesome!"

"The dog directors of "The Garland Under the Mountain" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are getting more and more doggy. I fucking cry like a dog every time, but I don't know why I cried so much when I watched it, but I couldn't bear it after watching it. Can't stop laughing!"

"It may not be good enough, but for the current Huaguo film market, it is as good as hell."

"One of your actions may change someone's life. The bar maitre has since fallen in love with pole dancing."

Forehead?It seems that something unscrupulous got mixed in?
The first batch of fans who walked into the theater to watch the movie almost gave "I'm Not the God of Medicine" the treatment of zero negative reviews!
The scores of the first batch of movie fans are also frighteningly high. The score of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is as high as 9.5 points. Of course, this score must still have a lot of moisture. After all, the first batch of movie fans must be Li Yi's loyal fans , their reviews will still be filtered.

But such a score is still surprising.

On the other hand, "Flowers of War" is a bit surprising. The score is not particularly high, only 8.4 points. Of course, this score is not high compared to "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!

Movie reviews are more interesting.

It can be said that it is polarized, and people who like it blow up this movie.

"Worthy of being one of the four famous directors, director Li Zhanshan's colors and pictures are as intoxicating as ever. "Flowers of War" tells the history of blood and tears from another angle. Although there are slight flaws, the flaws are not hidden!"

"Although "Flowers of War" is not as sharp as "Garland Under the Mountain", it is still a rare and good film."

"The war is more of a background, and the film emphasizes the warmth in the cold, or the return of humanity in despair. Unfortunately, I always feel that the story advances too smoothly and is very depressing, and the emotions are not released. It lacks the propulsion of the plot. , It will feel boring after watching it for a long time. But there are a few slow motion freehand brushwork that are handled very well.”

For those who don't like this movie, the most negative comments are not the plot, not the actors, but the language and meat scenes!
"Am I the only one who thinks that the biggest problem with this movie is the language? What is puzzling is that this seems to be a movie with a background in Huaguo, right?
But more than half of the dialogue is in English.The English we have learned for so many years is really useless. Look at the people in this film, everyone is very good at English, whether it is a woman living in prostitution, or an ordinary person who survived, what's more nonsense is that even the traitors in the island country can speak fluently English. "

"After the person upstairs said this, I finally understand why I feel something is wrong. It really is!"

"I'll go. You could speak English so well in that era, but you were able to live in prostitution? It's such a mother's nonsense!"

"Don't talk about that era, even in our era, if you speak English so well, it is at least top-notch in heaven and earth, right?"

"Students, prostitutes, traitors, and spoken English are at least CET-[-] or above, so I feel very inferior after reading it. It seems that my English at CET-[-] in college is scum!"

"This movie should be called "On the Importance of Speaking English in the War", or "Learn English well so you can survive the war"!"

As a result, all screenings ended on the first day.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" still scored 9.4 points, only dropped 0.1 points, while "Flowers of War" dropped 0.3 points directly, leaving only 8.1 points!
And the most negative comments are the language of "Flowers of War", more than 60% of the dialogue is in English!

In fact, there is nothing wrong with too many English dialogues, but the problem lies in this movie. Its background is in China, and the most characters in it are also Chinese people. However, the movie gives all Chinese people the buff of "knowledge in English". This is a bit embarrassing.

In fact, another reason why the ratings dropped so quickly was that at the premiere, when asked why the English dialogue of "Flowers of War" took up so much space, Zhang Changnian said: "You can't look at it that way, why don't you want to Think about our English version of "Flowers of War", the same 40% are Chinese dialogues?"

But what he said was the opposite.

More than that, a previously released trailer of "Flowers of War" turned out to be a fragment of the exciting (harmonious) drama in the film.

This has also been criticized by countless movie fans.

Zhang Changnian also panicked when he saw the almost zero negative reviews of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and the mixed reviews of "Flowers of War".

Especially when the box office was released on the first day, Zhang Changnian couldn't sit still.

Because "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Flowers of War" have almost the same film schedule, the box office is the most direct proof.

On the other hand, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" accounted for 42% of the film schedule on the first day of release, the attendance rate exceeded 20%, and the box office accounted for as high as 61%!

On the first day, it won 1.68 million box office!
On the other hand, "Flowers of War" accounted for 43% of the first-day screenings, but the attendance rate was far lower than "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and the box office was only 600 million!

The box office gap between the two is almost doubled, which is a good explanation for the same row of films.

What made Zhang Changnian even more indignant was the media reports the next day.

For "I'm Not the God of Medicine", it can almost be said to be a blast.

""I'm Not the God of Medicine" won 1.68 million votes on the premiere day, and let the movie shine into reality with laughter and tears!" - Jingnan Morning Post

"The premiere of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is overwhelmingly popular: it's been a long time since there has been such a good Huaguo reality movie!" - Penguin Entertainment

""I'm Not the God of Medicine" - who said that if you don't stand in the light, you can't be a hero?" - "Film Weekly"

""I'm Not the God of Medicine" won a box office of 1.68 million on the first day of its release, and the realism movie super blockbuster was born!" - "Southern Weekend"

However, the report by the "Flowers of War" media is obviously biased.

"More than 60% of the English dialogue in "Flowers of War" has been questioned: Is the whole world speaking English?" - The Beijing News
"Flowers of War's premiere box office lost to "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and too many English dialogues may be the biggest drawback!" - Penguin Entertainment.

"Flowers of War" teaser teaser was questioned by fans, and the box office on the first day was not good!" - "Contemporary Cinema"!
Of course, this is not to say that all of them are like this. In fact, it is normal for the media to be biased. After all, who made "I am not the God of Medicine" did win the box office champion, and Li Yi has always had a good relationship with the media.

In contrast, Zhang Changnian's relationship with the media is not just bad.

Every time Li Zhanshan's movie is released and the media reports some negative news, Zhang Changnian is the first to go over it.

Coupled with Zhang's big mouth for many years, it can be said that he has offended everyone who can be offended in these years.

Therefore, this is actually a repertoire of the media. Unless it is not selected in the same period, otherwise, their reports will definitely be biased.

"Flowers of War" scored more than 8 points. In fact, Li Zhanshan's strength is still there in general, but the problem is that Li Zhanshan has been relatively low-key over the years, but he can't stand a pig teammate like Zhang Changnian. See Heaven and earth offend people.

So, soon, on the side of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", the stars and directors began to be carried in sedan chairs.

They recommended the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" on their personal official Weibo.

On the other side of "Flowers of War", except for the main creative members, few people took the initiative to help promote and recommend.

Even many actors and stars who were popularized by Li Zhanshan in the early years were silent.

In fact, there is a reason for this, because Zhang Changnian hated people, not only his competitors, he became crazy, and even hated his own people.

For example, he once publicly named and criticized Yang Ye, a veteran actor in Hong Kong Island, saying that he played big names and did not cooperate with the publicity.

He also called Chen Wen by name, saying that Chen Wen graduated from the director department but became an actor, so he likes to intervene in the director's work the most, saying that he is not professional at all, and even more that if he can decide the actor, he will definitely not choose Chen Wen. Problem actor!
As for the director, he called more people, and many people were shot while lying down, such as Li Yi!
Therefore, one can imagine how bad his reputation in the circle is!
Then there are the film critics.

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" is still getting rave reviews.

Du Xianghai, this Li Chuan, blew the first clarion call of the film critic battle!
His title borrows a line from "The Lonely Brave": "Who says a hero stands in the light?"

"Cheng Yong, I believe that when many people read Cheng Yong's background introduction, they would never have imagined that such a person would become a 'medicine god'!
It is said that Cheng Yong in the early days was a complete loser, I believe no one would disagree, right?

His ex-wife divorced due to unbearable domestic violence, and his only son will follow his mother to live abroad. He has no skills and has to make a living selling Indian oil. As a result, the business is deserted, and even rent has become a problem.

He is not only a LOSER, but also an unlucky guy. When he was in a state of desperation, the old father was found to have a hemangioma and had to be treated with surgery.

So he started his career of smuggling Asang Lenin to make money by taking risks. He said: Life is money!
Yes, those patients who want to live are the source of his money.

After that, he went through transformations again and again, and finally became the god of medicine. However, everything he did was shady, smuggling was illegal, and selling fake medicine was also illegal. In the end, he was sentenced for this!
Before getting into the prison van, he asked Cao Bin to tell his son that his father was not a bad person!Yes, he could only pray that his son would not treat him as a bad person, because in the perception of others, a person who went to prison was a bad person!But is he a hero?Undoubtedly yes!He has lost all his money and has nothing to ask for!This is the character of a saint, he is not a hero who is?
Liu Sihui, played by Chu Xuexiang, is a woman who makes any bloody man willing to fight for her.She is tough and calm, sexy and charming when she wears heavy makeup, and has a distressed haggard beauty when she is without makeup.However, she is a dancer, so don't talk about occupations that do not distinguish between high and low. If it is true that occupations do not distinguish between high and low, then when it was revealed that Chu Xuexiang was playing a dancer, why did so many people not understand?
But is she a hero?In my opinion, undoubtedly yes!
When the daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, the mainstay of the family, the father of the child ran away, leaving orphans and widows, and had to bear the sky-high medical expenses.

When Cheng Yong forced the bar manager to perform a striptease instead of Sihui with wads of banknotes, Sihui was booing and applauding desperately in the audience, with light, fire, and tears in her eyes.The humiliation she has experienced and her unwillingness to fate are all written in this look.

The mother is weak, but she is strong. For her daughter, she became a dancer standing in the dark and being pointed at by others. I think any child, when asked, what does your mother do, will never I will be proud of my career as a dancing girl.

But she gritted her teeth and did it, even though her career was so disgraceful!Even though she was wronged, she still gritted her teeth and persisted!As far as a mother is concerned, she is undoubtedly great. Although she cannot bring the best to her child, she works hard to keep her child alive!Such a mother is not a hero, so who is?
Lu Yiyi, he feels timid and cowardly, but to his family, he is a good husband and a good father!
When he was diagnosed with the disease, his wife was five months pregnant, and he thought about committing suicide. Why?Because at that time he didn't want to drag his wife and children down.

But when his child was born, he decided to live a good life.

He never seems to think about himself, and has always been living for his family, or dying!

He didn't want his child to be born without a father, so he chose to live hard, so he would find Cheng Yong, so he would smuggle and sell medicine. Suicide, he lived for hope, and he also died for hope. Of course suicide is not a glorious thing, but it is already the only thing he can do for his wife and children!

I think his wife will definitely tell him the story about his father when the child grows up!
Huangmao, or Peng Hao, although humble, ridiculous, and grotesque, but because of this, he never forgets it, even if it is because of shock, even if it is because of contempt.

The first time Huang Mao was seen was domineering and robbing.Need medicine but not money.Then I realized that such a person was for the weaker and more helpless people.Those people didn't even have the strength to groan, and the physical strength of those people's lingering life was beyond their means.So, Huang Mao, who was also a patient, helped them rob, or in other words, help them bleed;

Huangmao's job is a butcher, which should be the place where everyone hides their noses.It was so dirty and smelly, but it was his only shelter with some income, and it could even be said that he was the only coordinate point in this reinforced concrete forest.

When Huang Mao said "happy", he probably just wanted to go to jail instead of Brother Yong, or he was happy to think that he could start smiling after breaking out of the police roundup.He smiled until the world no longer needed his burning.

The highest compliment that can be given to Huang Mao is that he is still a teenager.Physically and psychologically, he was broken in both.

But he always felt that many things could not be ignored, and more importantly, he flew up and rushed over at those moments without fear of falling.

All people should stop blaming and judging his broken body.All people should face his fall in awe, without the aftermath, without fear of cause and effect.He was so broken, and he was so indomitable.So, he was never in the light, but he was still a hero!
Pastor Liu, in the movie, he doesn't even have his full name.

Pastor Liu's world is very simple. Most people would say: May the Lord bless you.And facing some people, even though there are tens of thousands of people, he will tremble but go on: You are going to hell.

But what he did was equally disgraceful. He was a member of Cheng Yong's smuggling gang.

Didn't he know it was against the law?Of course he knew, but he didn't care.

He only cares that patients can get relatively cheap specific medicines because of this, and he only cares that more and more people can afford medicines to relieve pain.He can count bills together, and he can even accompany everyone to nightclubs for drinks.He has always been a supporting role and has not spoken much.

But there was only one time, when everyone scolded and walked away from the counterfeit drug dealer's venue.He squeezed his way onto the podium with difficulty.When the liar thought it was just a stupid old man, he gave up a stage and waited for him to perform with smiles all over his face.The pastor, who has always been amiable, is as angry at so many security guards and liars as Moses was at heresy: You are going to hell for doing this.

In the end, Brother Yong proposed to break up the partnership. He was not too surprised, let alone angry.He was just as expected, finally, and still so indifferent.He raised his glass: the original owner bless you.He will indeed be disappointed, but he will not say to Brother Yong: You will go to hell.

Since not even God can save his believers, how can he expect a mortal?

Pastor Liu speaks English and is gentle.If it weren't for the only time when King Kong glared, we would even think that this person was already calm.It can be said that there is no such thing as calm and breezy, some are just the vajra's angry eyes that we can't see being crushed in life, but they are still endless.

Pastor Liu, as a priest, knows the law and breaks the law. He is also not standing in the light. What he has done has even betrayed his faith, but he has no hesitation!He is no longer the most devout believer, but he is also a hero! "
