This director is vindictive.

Chapter 139: I told you to touch the elephant, but I didn’t tell you to touch it randomly.

2014 passed by in a busy manner.

This year has been fulfilling for Chen Mo.

In 2015, after the Spring Festival, Chen Mo did not return to the crew, but took people to find Cheng Yong, the prototype of "Dying to Survive".

He read the news and found out that Cheng Yong had been acquitted not long ago.

After everything was settled, Chen Mo took the story script of "Dying to Survive" and went to find Cheng Yong.

Chen Mo undoubtedly attaches great importance to the movie "I Am Not a Medicine God". In his previous life, he specifically learned about the deeds of the prototype of the Medicine God.

After meeting Cheng Yong, to be honest, there is a big difference between him and the greasy middle-aged man played by Xu Guangtou in "Dying to Survive".

In fact, there is a big difference between the two, because in reality, Cheng Yong is the boss of a company, which is completely different from the boss of the magic oil shop who is facing a mid-life crisis in the movie. Although they are both bosses,
One really has no shortage of money, but the other really does.

The identities are completely different.

But Chen Mo thinks that the original adaptation is really good, because if it is really filmed according to Cheng Yong's deeds, the effect will obviously not be so dramatic.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng, I apologize for my intrusive visit!" Chen Mo stepped forward and said.

"No, no, it's my honor to have Director Chen here. Please come in!" Cheng Yong warmly welcomed Chen Mo in.

"Mr. Cheng, to be honest, I am personally very shocked and impressed by your deeds. It was after I learned about your deeds that I came up with the idea of ​​adapting your story into a movie and putting it on the big screen." Chen Mo stated his purpose directly.

"Director Chen, can I know how you want to adapt it?" Cheng Yong said after a pause.

"Of course! This is a story script I wrote based on your deeds. You can take a look at it. If you have any dissatisfaction, we can communicate face to face." Chen Mo handed the story script to him.

Cheng Yong took it and started reading, but the more he read, the deeper his frown became.

"That won't do, Director Chen. I don't understand movies, but since you're going to adapt this story based on my experience, you can't make up stories. I've never made a penny from buying medicine for my fellow patients." He seemed a little excited.

"Mr. Cheng, don't get excited. This is just for the dramatic conflict of the movie. For example, Cheng Yong in the movie is the owner of a magic oil store, not the owner of a company like you." Chen Mo said quickly.

"This adaptation is entirely to make the character's transformation more arc-like, so I set the protagonist as a bad guy trapped in life, a drug dealer. He is not suffering from a terminal illness, but step by step transforms into a soul with compassion and salvation for all beings. This is a dramatic and artistic treatment.

"I wanted to make this film to celebrate Mr. Cheng's spirit, to celebrate the compassion and inner light that we all possess. I absolutely did not intend to bring any negative harm to you personally! And I believe that the audience will definitely not feel any negative harm after watching the film," Chen Mo explained.

"But this..." Cheng Yong was obviously still unable to accept it.

"Mr. Cheng, I hope that this movie will be the kind that can 'change society'. Of course, there will be differences between your personal experience and the movie. After all, movies are dramatic adaptations. A terminally ill patient and a healthy person doing the same thing, I believe, will give people completely different feelings. Moreover, movies require dramatic conflicts. From the audience's perspective, which one do you think is more shocking?" Chen Mo tried to persuade Cheng Yong.

Cheng Yong opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and continued to look down.

Suddenly, his eyes turned red.

I couldn't help but wipe the corners of my eyes.

"Director Chen, I can see that you really put your heart into it. The QQ group chats your fellow patients use are exactly the same as the ones I used to use when I was looking for medical advice more than a decade ago.

When I was 34 years old, I opened my own textile processing factory and engaged in foreign trade business. My original plan was to let my family live a rich life within 5 years, but the sudden "terminal illness" shattered my dream.

I remember it was early August 2002. I had a fever that didn't go away for more than ten days. I went to the hospital for a checkup and was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia. The first thing I asked the doctor when I got the test results was, "How long can I live?"

Every day when I open my eyes and take this medicine, I feel like I am swallowing money. One pill costs 200 yuan, so I swallow 800 yuan a day. I have been taking it for two years and have spent a total of 60 yuan.

If you accidentally drop a piece, you must find it.

I remember that in 2004, I created a QQ communication group called "CML patients". Within two months, the group had 100 members, but only a few of them could afford the medicine. Besides me, there was another patient in Hangzhou.

In fact, many people only spend money on that kind of medicine when they enter the acute phase of life and their lives are about to end, but the effect is minimal at that time. At that time, people in the group often say that someone has "passed away", and it is common to see one or two or three people "passing away" in a month.

Later, after learning about this, everyone in the patient group wanted me to purchase the items on their behalf, but it was really troublesome at that time.

There are also great risks. I was also worried that if I purchased the medicine for my fellow patients and something went wrong after taking it, it would be difficult to deal with.

But there was another risk I didn’t realize.”

As Cheng Yong spoke, his eyes couldn't help but turn red again.

He looked down again.

But after seeing the last part, he couldn't help but look up and say, "Isn't this scene of a thousand people bidding farewell a little too exaggerated? Don't you think it's too exaggerated and makes people feel unreal?"

Chen Mo shook his head and asked, "Mr. Cheng, you are called the 'Medicine Hero'. How do you feel about this title?"

Cheng Yong was stunned for a moment.

"That's the name given by the media. To put it nicely, it's the recognition given by society. This title carries tremendous pressure. Just think about it, the feeling of thousands of people pinning their hopes of life on one person. After all, I'm just a leukemia patient." He said with a wry smile.

"I heard that many fellow patients wrote a joint letter to plead for you?" Chen Mo asked again.

"Yes! I am very grateful to them." Cheng Yong said.

"So, this is why I added such a plot to the movie. It's just that the form of expression is different. In reality, they won't appear on both sides of the street, but I think that their spontaneous joint letter to plead for mercy is actually consistent to some extent!

I wanted to make this film because I wanted to use it to reflect the living conditions of the leukemia community and let society know that there are still people like me who hold onto hope for life. Of course, this is also my own selfish desire.

As a director, I certainly hope this film can achieve greater success and gain wider recognition. At the same time, I also hope it can have some impact on society, even if it's insignificant, but at least a positive one. "Chen Mo said sincerely.

"Well, okay, but I might clarify this matter when the movie is released." Cheng Yong finally agreed.

"It's natural!"

Afterwards, Chen Mo asked a lot of related questions.

Although he had watched this movie several times in his previous life and was very familiar with the plot, the prototype character was right in front of him.

Reality is always more dramatic than movies.

Through the conversation with Cheng Yong, Chen Mo really admired the "medicine hero" in front of him from the bottom of his heart!
Unlike the protagonist in the movie, who was just trying to make money at the beginning, Cheng Yong in reality is not short of money and can afford his own medicine.

These are two completely different types of people.

Of course, movies are artistically processed. For example, the character Huang Mao is also deeply memorable to Cheng Yong, especially the lines in it: "He is still so young, he is only 20 years old. He just wants to live. What's wrong with him?"

After leaving Cheng Yong, Chen Mo couldn't concentrate on filming "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Lost Tomb" for a while. All he could think about was "Dying to Survive" and Cheng Yong.

Thinking of someone in his previous life saying that "Dying to Survive" plagiarized "Dallas Buyers Club", Chen Mo couldn't help but sneer.

It can be said that there is a fundamental difference between the two.

Of course, this did not have much impact on Chen Mo.

Compared to "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin", he prefers movies like "Dying to Survive". The former is simply a commercial movie, while the latter really has a very special meaning.

Perhaps this is also the reason why realistic films are often more impressive?

"Are there really such people in this world?" Yang Mi was also shocked when she listened to Chen Mo telling about Cheng Yong's deeds.

"Is there a role suitable for me in your movie?" Then she looked at Chen Mo with shining eyes and asked.

"Yes, but it's not an important role." Chen Mo thought about it. Although this movie is an ensemble drama, the main characters are still the same.

The most important female character is Liu Sihui, but Yang Mi is obviously not suitable for this role.

"Where's the heroine? I can choose not to star in other films! Really!" Yang Mi was still not giving up. Just by listening to the deeds of the prototype character Cheng Yong, she felt that this movie would definitely be a good movie, and naturally she was very excited.

"Forget about the heroine. The heroine is set to be a single mother. You are really not suitable for the role." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Then who are you going to use? Fan Binbin? Gao Yuanyuan? It can't be Zhao Liying, right?" Yang Mi asked again.

Chen Mo still shook his head and said, "Don't think too much. It's not just you, they are not suitable either." The role of Liu Sihui can be said to be an absolutely very important role in the movie.

She is a hot pole dancer on stage and a strong single mother in life. She is willing to become a prostitute to treat her daughter's illness. She is also the group leader of the QQ group for leukemia patients in major hospitals.

The original actress Tang Zhuo performed very well, and Chen Mo has no plans to replace her!
As for Yang Mi? Forget it! It's not suitable at all, right?
When she heard Chen Mo say that they were not suitable either, she didn't say anything else.

Chen Mo did not continue with this topic. It was actually impossible for "Dying to Survive" to be launched so soon. After all, he had not yet finished "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Lost Tomb".

"Get down!" Yang Mi said suddenly.

"What?" Chen Mo looked confused.

"Get down!" Yang Mi urged again.

"No, what are you going to do?" Chen Mo was a little confused, but he still lay down.

"I've learned some blind massage techniques and would like to let you try them." Yang Mi said proudly.

Then she started to help Chen Mo press his body, and it was quite comfortable.

"Your skills are pretty good! But why did you learn this?" Chen Mo asked curiously while enjoying Yang Mi's "blind massage" technique.

"I took on a role in the movie 'I Am a Witness', in which I played a blind girl. So I went to experience life and found a blind masseur. I observed her daily living habits and learned a few skills. How about it? Not bad, right?" Yang Mi said with a smile.

"Does the blind girl you play need to learn blind masseur?" Chen Mo didn't have any particularly deep impression of this movie, but he didn't remember Yang Mi playing the role of a blind masseur, so he couldn't help but feel curious.

"No need! It's just an extra skill. You are very dedicated, aren't you?" Yang Mi said with some pride.

"Not overlapping projects anymore?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

But he knew that Yang Mi had been working very hard since she and her agent founded the company!
"EMMM" Yang Mi suddenly became a little withdrawn after hearing Chen Mo's question.

"Professional?" Who is the director? Who would allow you to film multiple scenes during the shooting of a movie? " Chen Mo was curious about which director it was.

Because at this stage, most directors will not allow their leading ladies to have other roles.

But Yang Mi's old habit obviously hasn't changed, and it's strange that she can still play the leading female role.

"You probably don't know this Korean director." Yang Mi said breathlessly while showing Chen Mo the results of her study.

"Haha, no wonder!" Chen Mo said.

"Hey, what do you mean? What do you mean by 'no wonder'?" Yang Mi was furious after hearing this and slapped Chen Mo's back hard.

"Don't you understand what I mean? You just bully foreigners. Otherwise, which domestic film director would let you have a double role? And the leading actress has to have a double role, tut tut." Chen Mo said unhappily.

"I just have no other choice." Yang Mi said with some lack of confidence.

"Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean there is no way? Don't you want to be a people's artist? You are busy with filming every day, and you still want to be a people's artist? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Chen Mo said disdainfully.

"What people's artist? When did I say that?" Yang Mi was a little confused.

"Um, forget it, let's not talk about this. Come, today I, the director, will help you test your learning results." Chen Mo thought that this seemed to be something Yang Mi said later, and there really was no such joke now, but he quickly covered it up, suddenly turned over and said with a smile.

"Okay, then from now on, I am a blind girl! See if I act like one." Yang Mi immediately became interested.

You know what, she acted pretty well, with her eyes dull and unfocused as she stared ahead.

Chen Mo couldn't help feeling a little evil, so he stretched out a finger and slowly moved it towards Yang Mi's eyebrows.

At the beginning, Yang Mi acted quite well, but she was not really blind, so Chen Mo's fingers moved left and right in front of her eyes, and then he repeated the previous action.

The next moment.
"Hahaha!" Chen Mo burst out laughing.

"Your academic performance isn't that great?" Chen Mo laughed so hard that he was out of breath.

"Ahhhh! I'm so mad, how can you be like this!" Yang Mi was furious.

Because Chen Mo successfully made her cross-eyed.

Chen Mo didn't expect that it would have this effect.

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. Well, let's start over. I won't tease you anymore!" Chen Mo quickly calmed down the angry and aggressive Yang Mi.

"Really?" Yang Mi looked at Chen Mo with some disbelief.

"Really!" Chen Mo nodded in agreement.

Then she quickly adjusted herself.

As a result, she soon broke down again.

Because Chen Mo took off his pajamas right in front of her.

Although the two of them had met each other more than once or twice and were very familiar with each other, Chen Mo suddenly did this and just stood in front of her.

"I'm not coming! Why are you like this?" Yang Mi turned her head away with a red face and said angrily.

"Haha, you are like this, and you still call yourself dedicated? You are a blind person now, okay? You can't see." Chen Mo disagreed.

"Okay, I'll bear it!" Yang Mi rolled her eyes, but actually turned her head around, looking as if she couldn't see anything.

Chen Mo was amused. Of course, he didn't want to try out Yang Mi's role or anything like that. It was purely role-playing, and it was very interesting.

Chen Mo thought about it, found an eye mask for sleeping, and put it on Yang Mi.

Then he took her cell phone, put it on the table, and sat on the sofa next to her.

"Come, judge the surrounding environment through hearing, touch, and feeling. You come and find it. I put your phone on the table and I'm sitting on the sofa." Chen Mo's voice said.

Yang Mi was not unfamiliar with this method. She had practiced it before and had a feel for it.

Chen Mo could see that she must have experienced this before. Although her steps were a little slow when she walked, they were very steady. This is actually a characteristic of many blind people.

Before she took each step, she would tentatively tiptoe, stretch her hands slightly forward, and spread her fingers naturally.

I began to grope towards the table relying on my memory and feeling.

Then her hand touched the table, sliding gently across it. When it touched a small object, her hand paused. Her cautious expression was quite realistic.

Finally she fumbled for her phone and waved excitedly with it: "How is it?"

"Very good, keep going!" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Yang Mi continued to grope, and this time she began to move around the edge of the table.

Successfully got in front of Chen Mo.

Then reach forward.

But the next moment, Chen Mo was dumbfounded. No, you really were so quick, accurate and ruthless! I didn't even have time to dodge.

Yang Mi herself was dumbfounded.

Because she touched it
"You're a pervert!" Yang Mi's defense was completely broken. She took off her blindfold and cursed.

But to be honest, it's quite exciting to let Yang Mi wear a blindfold.

Even Yang Mi herself was experiencing such a scene for the first time, although what happened before was indeed a bit weird.
