Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 370: Box office of 44 billion, what kind of number is this?
【Chen Cheng's work, the king returns. 】

[Dying to Survive is the most profound movie in recent decades. ]

【Chen Cheng is still the same Chen Cheng. You can always trust him.】

After watching this movie "Dying to Survive".

The spectators were very excited.

They didn't expect it.

Chen Cheng actually presented such a blockbuster to everyone.

A number of industry insiders, including directors, were also deeply touched.

"Now I know the difference between me and Chen Cheng."

"Me too. After watching Dying to Survive, I finally understood how powerful Chen Cheng is."

"I think this is the art of film. I admire it."

Almost.

The emergence of "Dying to Survive".

He has almost no bad reviews.

Whether it is the actors, the director, or the plot, countless viewers gave it a score close to 10 points.

As for why it didn’t get 10 points.

This is not a dissatisfaction with "Dying to Survive".

This is because of the helplessness towards reality.

To know.

"Dying to Survive" is more than just a story.

"Dying to Survive" is based on a series of closely related cases in reality.

The drug [Gleevec] in the movie is just one of them.

But in reality.

There are a lot of medicines similar to Gleevec.

They are also too expensive for patients to afford.

They are also not covered by Medicare.

But can the poor really only wait to die?

"Everyone, what do you think of 'Dying to Survive'? Tell us about it."

"What is there to say? When has Chen Cheng ever let us down?"

"I just wanted to ask if you could give me some comments."

"As for the review, I can only say that this is the best movie I have ever seen."

Thousands of movie fans flocked to the cinema.

The 24 hours on the first day passed in a flash.

Many movie fans and industry insiders looked at the data.

4.1 million.

Ok.

Looking at a number like this.

The crowd was not shocked.

Although they know.

This is a number that no one can catch up with in their lifetime.

but.

Regarding "Dying to Survive".

For Chen Cheng.

This time, the box office of 4.1 million seems normal.

even.

Many viewers who watched "Dying to Survive".

They will also think.

It would be strange if "Dying to Survive" didn't have such a hot box office.

……

"The premiere was 4.1 million yuan, so by the end of the release period, the box office of "Dying to Survive" will reach 40 billion yuan."

"Wow, it's 10 billion higher than the previous record. This is incredible."

"It's nothing against the will of heaven. This is Chen Cheng... As long as it's Chen Cheng, I don't find any records he creates strange."

of course.

The influence of "Dying to Survive" is not just the 4.1 million yuan box office on the first day.

The popularity of "Dying to Survive" also caused a huge response in the real medical field.

In particular, after watching "Dying to Survive", countless viewers reported medical issues to the relevant departments.

For example, some medicines are too expensive and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.

Although some medicines are not expensive, they need to be taken every month, and it is a huge expense if you continue to take them.

Some drugs are not included in the medical insurance at all, and all costs have to be borne by the patients alone.

There are also countless people who have bankrupted their entire families because of taking these imported drugs, just like in the movies.

These problems did not arise just now.

He had it before.

Even before, countless people have reacted.

but.

We have reported this countless times before, but to no avail.

until.

With the emergence of "Dying to Survive", the relevant departments finally made changes.

soon.

Experts organized by the higher authorities conducted a survey of all medical supplies in the country.

then.

They have begun to prepare to include more medicines in medical insurance.

even.

Among these medicines, there are also some rare drugs.

As mentioned above.

Although these rare drugs cannot make money, the authorities do not want a tragedy like the one that happened to the patients in the TV series "Dying to Survive" to happen because a small number of people cannot afford such drugs.

This is just one of them.

Second.

After some other common medicines were included in medical insurance, the relevant departments also sent a team of experts to contact a number of pharmaceutical companies.

even.

Among the expert team formed this time.

However, everyone discovered that Chen Cheng appeared.

"Chen Cheng?"

"Oh my god, my eyes are clear, why do I seem to see Chen Cheng?"

"Yes, your eyes are not blurry. The person in the camera just now was indeed Chen Cheng."

"Well, has Chen Cheng not appeared recently? Has he gone to work as a doctor?"

"Uh... this... I also want to know."

Ok.

Chen Cheng has not appeared for some time, so of course he is not becoming a doctor.

He was just planning to handle this behind the scenes.

As for how Chen Cheng appeared among the team of medical experts.

It’s not that Chen Cheng has a hidden identity as a medical expert.

This is because his main task in this expert team is to bargain.

Yes.

It's about bargaining.

About three days later.

He will work with a team of experts to bargain with a number of pharmaceutical companies.

and.

This bargaining session will also be broadcast live to the public.

……

Ok.

Eventually everyone found out.

Chen Cheng’s only mission when joining the medical expert team was to bargain.

When Chen Cheng met the first pharmaceutical company representative wearing a white suit.

The pharmaceutical company representative was a little confused.

"Are you Director Chen Cheng?"

"Yes."

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here?"

"Are we filming a movie today, with real people acting in real time?"

"You think too much."

Watching the live broadcast of Chen Cheng and the medical representatives on TV, the audience was also stunned.

But soon.

The process begins.

Everyone knows it too.

Chen Cheng bargained with the pharmaceutical representatives. "Well, I don't really know much about medicine. But I've always heard that the pharmaceutical industry is very profitable. Your medicine costs 10 yuan per box, and you sell hundreds of millions of boxes a year. You're making a lot of money. So, you should negotiate to reduce the price."

"Director Chen, our offer this time is 8 yuan."

"10 yuan is only reduced to 8 yuan. You have the nerve to come here. Even the cabbage price is not reduced by more than a few cents."

"Director Chen, our medicine doesn't really make much profit."

"How would I know how much profit you have? A little less."

"7 dollars, this is the lowest price we offer."

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "I think you should ask your leader for instructions."

"Ok."

The two medical representatives who were bargaining with Chen Cheng had no choice.

This was the first time they had bargained like this.

Not just the first time.

They also face Chen Cheng, who does not play by the rules.

A few minutes later.

The two medical representatives asked their superiors for instructions, and they gave another price: "6 yuan."

Chen Cheng was not satisfied and said, "I just took a look and I know that this box of medicine seems to be a medicine for treating mental illness. Although I don't know much about medicine, and I don't know how much profit you make from it, I do know that if there is a mentally ill patient in a family, he will have a great impact on the family. Moreover, my colleague just showed me the income of many families of mentally ill patients. More than 8% of them have an annual income of less than 2 yuan. I don't know if you will still offer this price after hearing this number."

"us……"

The two medical representatives felt a little dry-mouthed and asked their superiors for instructions again.

This time they brought the price of 5 yuan.

But Chen Cheng directly shouted: "Two dollars."

"what……"

The two pharmaceutical representatives shook their heads directly: "No, it's impossible. Our production cost is more than two yuan."

However, Chen Cheng was not in a hurry and said, "For ordinary people, medicine is a necessity. But for pharmaceutical companies, it is actually a business. It's the same as when we make movies. Mr. Wang Jing once said that in his eyes, movies are a business. Although I don't completely agree with him, movies are indeed a business in many cases."

"Well, since it's a business, there will be gains and losses. You can't just make money on everything and not take any losses. I looked through the medical catalog and found that your pharmaceutical company has two drugs included in this price inquiry. Moreover, one of the two drugs costs as much as 3 yuan, and the other costs more than yuan. The profit here is huge. This is the first time we have such a price negotiation today. Shouldn't your pharmaceutical company show some sincerity?"

"..."

I turned it over and it was another call from my boss.

The two representatives gave a number: "The minimum is 2.4 yuan."

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "2.4, 4 doesn't sound good, 2.3."

"Director Chen, you're still bargaining for 1 cents?"

"Even a dime is money. Many ordinary people have a hard time earning even a dime."

"I admire you, Director Chen. We accept this price."

It took 30 minutes.

Chen Cheng’s bargaining with the first pharmaceutical company ended here.

The two medical representatives stood up and took a friendly photo with Chen Cheng.

Although today's bargaining price is already far lower than the price they had previously set.

However, when facing Chen Cheng, they still admired him sincerely.

Of course it's not just them.

Those who were watching the live broadcast on TV clapped their hands excitedly.

Some patients couldn't help but shed tears.

"In the film industry, he broke records. In medicine, he was world-renowned. Chen Cheng is a man of no equal."

"I admire you so much, Chen Cheng. From now on, our whole family will be your die-hard fans."

"I like Chen Cheng. At this moment, I like him even more."

……

Ok.

This soul-bargaining continues.

Although Chen Cheng is not the only bargaining expert.

However, when the price is difficult to bargain, Chen Cheng usually takes over.

The most classic example is when Chen Cheng was faced with a drug that cost 70 yuan per injection.

Chen Cheng bargained for this medicine several times.

The price dropped from 70 yuan to 1 yuan per injection.

There was also a medicine that originally cost only 5 yuan, but Chen Cheng cut the price to 1.3 yuan.

“I really like Chen Cheng bargaining with the pharmaceutical representatives.”

"Well, do you know why Chen Cheng was able to make so many great movies? It's because he always put himself on the side of the people."

"Yes, just like I am not the God of Medicine... Although Chen Cheng has no worries about food and clothing, he has never forgotten that there are many ordinary people who are not well off."

"Hahaha, haven't you noticed that Chen Cheng's bargaining skills are so high?"

"Nonsense, how come I didn't notice it. Just like this sentence, ah... you said you are my fan. Since you are a fan, can you lower the price of the medicine?"

"Pfft...yes, yes, yes. When this sentence came out, the medical representative was stunned. But I have to say, the effect is just right."

"Also, and Chen Cheng also said...if you don't surrender, I'm going to label you as a profiteer in the next movie."

"That's too bad, isn't it?"

"It's more than just bad. The pharmaceutical companies are so anxious that they want to curse. Is there any way to bargain like this?"

……

2014 years passed like this.

The final box office of "Dying to Survive" came out, reaching an incredible 44 billion.

At the same time, in the last period of this year.

Chen Cheng turned into a bargaining master and engaged in multiple rounds of soul-bargaining with a number of pharmaceutical manufacturers.

After this wave.

However, ordinary people have discovered that almost half of the medical prices in the country have dropped by more than 50%.

Some even saw a drop of 80%.

The price of rare drugs that originally cost hundreds of thousands of yuan per injection has also dropped to between 1 and 3 yuan.

Although the price is still expensive.

But compared to before when patients couldn’t even get the shots, at least they can get one or two shots.

But medical reform is a long battle.

This is just the beginning.

There are still countless tasks to be accomplished in the future.

just.

There wasn't much Chen Cheng could do to help with the following matters.

Although he participated in the bargaining.

But he is not from this industry after all.

He doesn't know much about medicine.

What he really understands is movies.

and so.

In 2015, Chen Cheng went behind the scenes again and focused on making movies.

Or.

In 2015, Chen Cheng will also spend a lot of time supporting domestic filmmakers.

Simultaneously.

In the field of TV drama production.

Chen Cheng didn't stop either.

This time.

Chen Cheng found Hu Ge.

Chen Cheng and Hu Ge have known each other for a long time.

However, Hu Ge also had his ups and downs.

When he debuted that year, he became an instant hit all over the country and became a top star in the industry.

But no one thought of it.

A car accident almost ruined Hu Ge's acting career.

After a series of treatments, Hu Ge is back.

But when he came back, he was no longer as strong as he was in the past.

Not only is there no peak.

Even some of the films that were shot were criticized by many people from time to time.

For example, in The Myth, Hu Ge was criticized by a lot of people, saying that the character Yi Xiaochuan he played was a scumbag.

In the Xuan-Yuan Sword series, Hu Ge was only a supporting role.

The Pretender has good ratings.

Although Hu Ge is the protagonist, he is overshadowed by the elder brother who plays Mingtai.

Many people say.

In fact, Hu Ge’s acting skills are very average.

Chen Cheng also thinks Hu Ge’s acting skills are average.

but.

In this circle.

Acting isn't everything.

Moreover.

Some people are still loved by everyone even if their acting skills are average.

For example, Hu Ge.

Even if others keep scolding him and complaining about him.

But whenever he has a new movie, countless people still look forward to it.
