Chapter 822: "Dying to Survive" World Premiere!
The opening ceremony of the film festival was on June 6, which was similar to previous Wen's film will also be released next month, which the media calls the "final chapter of the Republic of China trilogy."
"Evil Never Dies" still attracted a lot of attention.
Of course, the most eye-catching event in Shanghai right now is the Magic Shadow Festival.
The flow of people is good, not to mention the overseas film distributors and media.
At least for its own film festival, the home of the world's largest street scene, many people are willing to come and take a stroll.
The name is: feel the atmosphere of the international film festival!
By the way, take a look at the foreign films that have not been censored, all of which have translations.
Shortly after the opening ceremony, the film festival held the world premiere of "Dying to Survive"!
Overseas media who came to the scene, domestic media that paid attention to the event, and some lucky audiences had the opportunity to watch it.
The film festival arranged its largest exhibition hall to accommodate these people.
Dolby video experience, this is the projection technology strongly supported by the Magic Film Festival.
Dolby's effect is actually the best, it's just that iMax is more popular.
The latter is already extremely expensive compared to ordinary screens, and it is also difficult to maintain, and Dolby is naturally even more difficult.
The audience came in one after another, and Chen An and others from the creative team had been waiting for a long time.
"Director Chen, our film festival is no less grand than Venice's." Zhang Songwen joked quietly while standing on the stage.
Zhou Yiwei: "Don't you see whose movie it is? It doesn't matter which film festival it goes to?"
Zhang Yu smacked his lips and said, "Anyway, when I went to Berlin at the beginning of the year, there weren't even this many people there."
The picture is indeed sufficient. There seem to be more blond and blue-eyed foreigners than Chinese people, accounting for more than half.
I guess all the foreign media that came to the Magic Film Festival have crowded here.
A few people gave a brief interview and introduction, and then the movie was officially screened.
The audience can't wait any longer.
The story begins in the 2000s.
It starts with Cheng Yong, the down-and-out owner of a magic oil shop.
He was down and out, his business was not improving, his couple was divorcing in middle age, he was a very ordinary man, even a little inferior.
His wife wanted to go abroad and take their son to live a better life, but Cheng Yong could only feel helpless and furious.
There is also an elderly father at home who needs care.
The life of a middle-aged man is difficult and unbearable.
Until a man appeared. His name was Lu Shouyi. He was wearing a mask and was a leukemia patient.
With a cunning smile on his face, he introduced a business deal to him.
You can make a lot of money by smuggling a drug from India. Many people need it, including Lu Shouyi.
Cheng Yong didn't want to agree at first, but his family was in dire straits, so he decided to take the risk.
The trip to India was full of activity. He cursed the Indians as profiteers, idiots, and those who didn't understand him just smiled.
Suddenly it was filled with a lively atmosphere!
The audience outside the screen looked at the simple language joke, and although it was played out, they still found it interesting and couldn't help laughing.
The story continues, Cheng Yong brought back a box and began to think about selling the goods.
Soon, the "criminal gangs" began to gather rapidly and quickly expanded their sales scope!
The mother of the dancer, whose daughter is ill, has several groups of patients under her management.
The priest is terminally ill and has a group of patients who receive prayers and blessings from him.
The yellow-haired man who dared to think and act and left home due to illness.
In the early 2000s, the high price of 5,000 yuan per bottle was in short supply!
Several people made a lot of money and everything was moving in a good direction.
In the nightclub, they celebrated by spending money generously to let the manager who came to cause trouble go up and dance, making the audience laugh!
All the way here, the air is filled with a lively atmosphere!
The light coming through the screen is warm.
They gathered users, rioted and overthrew their rival, another 'fake drug' dealer.
However, Cheng Yong was visited by the other party and threatened.
The consequences of buying "fake medicine" made Cheng Yong, who had made a lot of money, start to get scared.
He has a son in primary school and a father who needs to be taken care of. He is the backbone of the family. If something goes wrong, the blow to the family is self-evident. He wants to quit. The party ended unhappily, and the people who had just been close to each other began to fall apart.
Cheng Yong handed the route over to the fake drug dealer.
The latter raised the price from five thousand to ten thousand.
Cheng Yong turned around and started a legitimate business, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.
But the result of the rampant counterfeit drugs is that genuine pharmaceutical companies have launched a full-scale crackdown and cooperated with the police, and the counterfeit drug dealers have run away.
Patients who cannot afford genuine drugs can no longer get generic drugs.
When I saw Lu Shouyi again, he was lying on the bed. When he saw Cheng Yong coming, he still had a familiar smile on his face.
The face was weak and pale, and the smile seemed flattering and a little pitiful.
Lying on the bed, she invited Cheng Yong to eat oranges.
He was already terminally ill.
"When I first became ill, she was more than four months pregnant. At that time, she just wanted to die and be done with it."
"Then the child was born. As soon as I saw him, I didn't want to die. I wanted to watch him grow up."
"Maybe I can be a grandfather, haha"
Thinking about what Lu Shouyi said to him when he first went to his home, Cheng Yong didn't know how to start.
I could only flee in a hurry and sit outside the door, listening to the other party's screams while undergoing the debridement operation.
The sunlight came in through the window, and Cheng Yong and Lu Shouyi's wife sat on either side.
The former looked at each other in the shadows, while the latter sat in the shadows with numb eyes.
Lu Shouyi died, and Cheng Yong watched him die.
The other person had a smile on his face until he died, as if he was still saying, "Brother Yong, eat an orange."
The night wind hit the glass, but it seemed like it was hitting Cheng Yong's heart, and the other person's face reappeared again and again.
After a sleepless night, he settled his family, sent his beloved son to his mother, and sat at the airport with tears streaming down his face.
He finally sent the child away. He tried his best just to keep his son and give him a comfortable life.
Cheng Yong started buying medicine again and gathered his old friends, the dancer's mother, the priest, and Huangmao.
"How much do you plan to sell this time?" asked the dancer's mother Liu Sihui.
Cheng Yong raised his head: "Five hundred."
The yellow-haired man, whose face remained unchanged, curled up into a smile.
The news spread quickly, and all the major patient groups were cheering: There is hope! There is hope!
Yes, there is help.
The move was huge, and it was impossible for genuine pharmaceutical companies not to notice it.
The person who accepted the task was still Cheng Yong's brother-in-law, and everything was so familiar.
The fake drug dealers came again.
"You're selling drugs again? How much are you selling this time?"
"Five hundred? Hehehe."
"It's useless. I've seen a lot of things in my years of selling medicine. There is actually only one disease in the world, and that is poverty!"
"."
The fake drug dealer took Cheng Yong's "hush money" and left, but was arrested not long after.
When facing the interrogation, he smiled wantonly: "I committed a crime? What crime did I commit?"
"Over the years, I have saved thousands of lives by buying medicine, so I have done a lot of good deeds."
He did not give up Cheng Yong, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The brother-in-law investigated all the way and saw only countless patients who wanted to stop the investigation from continuing.
"I just want to beg you."
"Stop chasing Indian medicine, okay?"
"I have been ill for three years. I have been taking genuine medicine worth 40,000 yuan for three years. My house has been ruined and my family has been bankrupted by me. Now I finally have cheap medicine. You insist that it is fake. Don't we know whether this medicine is fake or not?"
"That medicine only costs 500 yuan a bottle, the drug dealers don't make any money at all"
".If you take him away, we will all die."
"I don't want to die."
