In short, after the general framework is kept intact, it is just some in-depth rational analysis of the details and vivid characters to make up for it.
All these have been solved, and the problems of piling up childish sensational plots and using cheap tears from the audience to question the current medical insurance system and legal system will be solved.
Similarly, there is the fake academician Zhang Changlin, this heinous real counterfeit drug dealer. In the end, his "just and awe-inspiring" performance in the police interrogation was too dramatic, and the 180-degree turn was obviously too abrupt.
There is also a more important problem. The characters Lu Yiyi, Liu Sihui, Pastor Liu, Huang Mao and Cao Bin have very few scenes in the play, and there is almost nothing outstanding.
If you have to pick the best supporting role, Huang Mao seems to be barely flesh and blood.
At this point, in addition to some plot changes, Liu Qingshan changed the role of Pastor Liu and specially hired crosstalk actor Yu Qian.
This future Macau movie king has always been full of acting skills, and his character creation skills are profound, and he has his own laughs. Because of his replacement, he will bring some unexpected funny moments to the film.
In addition, whether it is in Shanghai or Tianzhu, whether it is a store or a house, a street or an alley, a dock or a factory, the picture is always dirty and messy. The kind of noise that filled the 1980s and 1990s caused excessive deviation and misalignment from the actual year when the incident occurred.
This result, on the one hand, exposed the creator's misunderstanding, and on the other hand, the shots lacked contrast and span. For 117 minutes, the audience was always subjected to gloomy and suffocating depression.
Therefore, in this aspect, he changed the filming that was supposed to be done in Stone City to Shanghai and then filmed part of it, which can bring about obvious changes in the background footage.
Liu Qingshan attaches so much importance to this film because he wants to create a version of "Dallas Buyers Club" that belongs to China.
Although the national conditions and social backgrounds are also very different, getting rid of the low-end version or even plagiarism of "Dallas Buyers Club" is something he is trying to avoid.
He just wanted to express that under the glitz of this "little age", there are still people like this who are living tenaciously.
It does not praise the powerful, nor does it praise superheroes. It only praises the things around us and the ordinary light of ordinary people.
This film will be unique, but this uniqueness is exactly what Chinese movies need today.
"A box office hit" is not what he is most looking forward to. He wants this movie to become a "light of hope" for Chinese cinema.
As for the selection of actors for this version, except for Liu Hua and Yu Qian, there are basically no major changes. Long before filming the travel variety show, Liu Qingshan found the original actor through Wang Jinghua.
Among these people, the one he valued most was Wang Chuanjun. Fortunately, this person had been in his sights for a long time. Last year, before he graduated from Shanghai Theater Academy, Liao Xin signed him.

(Lu Yiyi) This one is the biggest explosion.
Starting from the opening orange, this emotional line has been laid out.
The tone of the opening is bright, and it should be said that the first half is bright. Cheng Yong makes money, the patients can survive, and everything is good.
Lu Yiyi is also happy. After all, he can live and watch his son grow up. "Maybe he can also be a grandfather." Is there anything else he can't be satisfied with?
If anyone is the happiest here, it should be Lu who benefited, because when he was sick, he wanted to die.
If you can't afford medicine and your family is in trouble, what's the point of living? However, the child was born!
Lu Yiyi's sense of satisfaction overflowed from the screen through the look at the child. At that time, every audience may have felt the warmest scene in the entire movie. .
I don’t have to die, I can watch my children grow up. To convey this sense of satisfaction to all the viewers, Wang Chuanjun used one glance.
After this scene, the plot began to turn dark quickly. After being threatened for selling counterfeit drugs, Cheng Yong gave up the counterfeit drug market and had dinner with everyone.
In this plot, Wang Chuanjun contributed his most explosive acting skills in the film.
Cheng Yong broke up and had a big quarrel. Huang Mao left first, followed by Sihui, the priest. After each of them left, Lu Yiyi tried to keep him, and in the end only he and Cheng Yong were left.
"Everyone has drunk too much, are you kidding me?"
Lu Yiyi asked with a cautious, flattering, flattering and almost pleading look on his face.
"Get out!" Cheng Yong used only one word to vividly reveal the dilemma he faced at that time.
Lu Yiyi's expression hesitated for a moment and then quickly collapsed. His whole face revealed a sense of despair. Through the screen, the audience felt a sense of powerlessness and breathlessness.
Desperate, unable to buy medicine, dying, unable to see my children grow up.
Wang Chuanjun's expression, the helpless despair, and the interpretation of this expression made Liu Qingshan remember this person immediately.
After dinner, Lu Yiyi threw on his clothes and rushed out of the store. He stood in the heavy rain, stunned, looking around, as if he didn't know where he was going.
Heavy rain fell on his head and wet his clothes. He was as embarrassed as a lost dog who knew he could not survive.
He shrunk his neck and hunched his body, like a wounded animal, and disappeared into the heavy rain.
Just this episode made many viewers cry. From the moment they saw this, Liu Qingshan planned to sign this newcomer who had not graduated yet in advance.
This character appeared again when the plot developed a year later. Lu Yiyi became seriously ill. Cheng Yong came to the hospital to see him. He was lying on the hospital bed, looking weak and exhausted.
Later I learned that Wang Chuanjun didn't sleep for two days in order to perform this scene well. This was despite the fact that he had already lost more than 20 kilograms to participate in the film.
Seeing Cheng Yong, Lu Yiyi smiled reluctantly.
"Eat an orange."
This is the second orange.
Lu Yiyi's condition worsened and he had no choice but to undergo a bone marrow transplant. During the MRI, he gave Wang Chuanjun a close-up of his face - his eyes were gray, lifeless, and desperate.
The look in his eyes during this period is completely opposite to that of Wang Chuanjun in the first half of the film.
In the first half of the plot, although he was sick, he had hope and did not want to die; but at this time, Lu Yiyi's eyes were full of despair and lovelessness, and he had already decided to die.
In the middle of the night, Lu Yiyi woke up in pain and struggled to get up. He gave his child one last look.
"From the first moment I saw him, I didn't want to die."
This is the last look.
I really don’t want to die, I want to see my children grow up, I want to be a grandfather, I want to...
I really don’t want to die. But there was no choice but to die.
Take one last look at the child.
That night, Lu Yiyi hanged himself.
At this point, Wang Chuanjun's role is over.
Throughout the play, he was given a lot of close-ups of his face and eyes, and Wang Chuan did not waste any of them. He showed Lu Yiyi's desire for life, his humble desire to live, and his humble longing for life when looking after his children. The satisfaction, the despair of terminal illness, and the gloom of death are all vividly displayed.
Liu Qingshan's mentality at the time when he saw this was that he was looking forward to the birth of a new generation of masters from China.
He was shocked because of this young man who, despite being tall, always acted with a hunched body in the film.
In the movie, the first second he appears, you will feel: he is the dying person you once met in the hospital, still holding the love of life, although the breath is weak, but you dare not sympathize He will not look down upon him.
He plays this role so vividly, you can see a lot in his eyes.
When looking for medicine, he has a submissive desire to survive, and has little success in smuggling and selling medicine.
The shyness when I saw Huang Mao for the first time, the love in my eyes when I saw the child.
My true gratitude to Brother Yong, my despair on the hospital bed, and my indifference when I finally decided to commit suicide for the sake of my family.
When Liu Qingshan signed him, he was actually going to train the future No. 1 brother of Xueyu Entertainment.
This man also appeared in his exclusive presidential suite at the Snowy Lotus Hotel early the next morning.
"How about it? How much have you figured out this character?"
This is not the first exchange between the two. Although Wang Chuanjun, who has just graduated, has never played any role, he also knows that his boss values him.
In the past, Wang Chuanjun was also a fashionable and fashionable young man in real life, but his current image already has a hint of Lu Yiyi in the play.
Tall but weak and slightly stooped, his eyes were dull and lifeless against the backdrop of dark circles.
"Hey, I came directly from Union Medical College Hospital. I have been in close contact with those patients in the past two days, and I almost have a schizophrenia!"
"Only when you experience the suffering of others can you feel your own ease. Empathy is only the first step. How to learn to speak with your eyes is the foundation of an actor's ability!"
Liu Qingshan just smiled, but did not give any praise or criticism.
Wang Chuanjun gave another wry smile, "In order to play the role of a skinny leukemia patient, I have been doing at least 7,000 skipping ropes a day recently."
