"That's what I think. As for Cheng Yong, he is a loser through and through. He lives a useless life. He runs a sacred oil store, which is not a decent job, but there is no business in the store. His father is critically ill and he can't raise enough money for the surgery. .The ex-wife is pregnant with a child from a wealthy man and wants to take custody of his son away.
It can be said that simply looking at him, he is a loser who is incapable of being a dutiful son, incompetent as a father, unqualified as a husband, and unsuccessful as a boss!
The first time he smuggled drugs, it actually happened naturally, because he had no choice.
If anyone had been through the same experience as Cheng Yong, if he saw such an opportunity, he would have taken the risk as if he were grasping at a life-saving straw.
Therefore, he is a quite vulgar person.
The second time, he made enough money, and he always knew that what he was doing was illegal, so he got out without saying a word.
This is the most common choice to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If it were other people, they would probably make this choice.
I have money, why do I do this kind of thing? You can make money doing other things, and it’s safe!
The third time, Lu Youyi died, it was not because of his conscience, but out of guilt for his friends. After all, he could get rich because Lu Youyi found him a way in the first place and let him know that such a thing could be done. make money!
As for sympathy for leukemia patients? I think this is something that any "ordinary person" would have, right?
The last time, you have to sell medicine even though you are cheating. Why? Is it for these patients? I think, maybe, but it is more because Peng Hao died and died to protect him.
Therefore, he can't look back, or at this time, he is actually still an ordinary person, and his sympathy for the patients, coupled with Peng Hao who died for him, if he does not do it but chooses to quit, then probably He had to live in the shadows his whole life, so he had to do it.
Even if he is sentenced in the end!
I think if we had Cheng Yong's experience, there would be a high probability that we would do the same thing as him. Therefore, I say that he is actually an ordinary person! What he did was a normal reaction for an ordinary person after encountering those things.
When it comes to repaying debts, what he owes is his life, so he can only repay with his life! "
I have to say that Yang Shu’s perspective on interpreting the character is indeed somewhat different.
But does he have a point?
It definitely makes sense!
But there are no ifs in this world, because no one has had the experience like Cheng Yong, so naturally he cannot become Cheng Yong, but what Cheng Yong did is indeed a change that is more in line with the mental journey of an ordinary person.
But this just shows that this story is indeed very down-to-earth and true.
Li Yi suspected that Yang Shu was trying to flatter him, but he had no evidence.
Realistic-themed movies can make people feel that this is what ordinary people would do when they encounter it, which means that the story is very natural and very real!
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Old Shu, you are really good at flattering me. You can't even leave a trace behind!" Chen Wen immediately thought of this.
"Why are I flattering me? What did I say?" Yang Shu looked confused. His acting skills were really high. Of course, it's possible that he really thought so!
The starring cast of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was decided at this small gathering.
The other characters, on the other hand, are easier to solve.
For example, the issue of script review.
After Li Yi's "Garland Under the Mountain", it can be said that he has registered in it.
If it were another director, there might be some problems, but the review of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" went very quickly.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that although the theme of this movie is a bit sharp, how sharp can it be compared to "Wreaths Under the Mountain"?
The script has been reviewed and the main actors are all together. Zhuo Yixiong has returned to his most comfortable position - the crew's butler!
The preparations for the film are not fast, but they are very fast.
As for the main actors, Li Yi didn't need to worry about them at all. Chen Wen asked them about their level of dedication.
For example, Chen Wen, in order to understand the character of Zhang Changlin, went to the prison to learn from several inmates who had been admitted because of similar things.
Although there are Zhang Changlin's lines in the script, he also needs to understand what kind of people are in this industry, right?
Another example is that Chu Xuexiang hired a pole dancing teacher to train her in pole dancing, and she also went to nightclubs to watch pole dancing performances every day!
Another example is Lin Yunbin and Zhou Guo.
Lin Yunbin wanted to play a policeman, so he found connections to experience life.
Zhou Guo, in addition to trying to lose weight, also went to find patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia. After all, he needed to play a man suffering from leukemia, so he had to know what they are like in normal times. Acting is never It can be performed out of imagination.
The same is true for Ji Xianming, and in order to play the role of a priest well, he went to a church to find a priest to observe the priest's daily life, such as how to say mass, words and deeds, etc.
If you play a priest, you can't practice like a Taoist priest, right?
Without understanding any profession, it is difficult to truly present it.
Etc., etc! They don't even need Li Yi to speak, they will do these things by themselves.
The preparation progress of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is advancing day by day.
Li Yi was busy with other things.
It’s just a matter of co-production.
Because James Dean from Dean Films came to the country in person, it was obvious that he was more urgent than Li Yi imagined.
Probably because he was really eager to open up the situation in China, James Dean also showed his sincerity this time.
In the end, Li Yi got involved with China Film Group. After all, co-productions would be much less troublesome if China Film Group was there.
Zhao Guangming also attaches great importance to this co-production.
According to Zhao Guangming, he hopes that Li Yi can successfully break the ice for the co-production and find a bright road for the co-production.
The final negotiation went extremely smoothly.
There are six major investors, including China Film Group, Li Yi’s Yixing Film and Television, and Oceanwide Film and Television. In North America, in addition to Dean Films and an associated investment company, Li Yi asked Xu Nannan to do it in North America. company.
The Asian and domestic distribution will be jointly distributed by Oceanwide Films and China Film.
Naturally, Dean Pictures is responsible for distribution in North America and even Europe.
Since "A Dog's Purpose" was invested by multiple parties, Li Yi was naturally not polite, and his remuneration was based on that of top Hollywood directors.
But because "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is about to start filming, the movie can only be postponed.
However, preliminary preparations can be started.
For example, the early stage viewing, etc., as well as the preliminary formation of the crew, etc.
Dean Pictures will arrange an assistant director and a producer, while Li Yi directly brings Zhang Ranran and Luo Xiaobing from "A Story More Sad Than Sad".
They even directly asked them to find actors and conduct preliminary screening!
Other directors might be worried about losing power, but for Li Yi, he can decide everything in "A Dog's Purpose" with one word.
Therefore, he happily delegates power to them, such as casting. If they really dare to have any evil intentions, even if they select some candidates, Li Yi can directly reject them completely. In China, at least Zhang Ranran and Luo Xiaobing will definitely do these things more attentively.
As for North America, it might be hard to tell, but Li Yi didn't care, because "A Dog's Purpose" is his Li Yi movie!
