This director is vindictive.

Chapter 162: Not the God of Medicine, but Driving Change

"Dying to Survive" set several records, with previews exceeding 100 million yuan, premieres exceeding 300 million yuan, and exceeding 1 billion yuan in three days!

What's outrageous is the word of mouth. The number of people who participated in the rating has increased dozens of times compared to the preview, with hundreds of thousands of people rating it, but the result is still above 9 points.

The most important thing is that the popularity remains high, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has sparked heated discussions among the whole nation.

One netizen said: "The happier the people in the poster are smiling, the harder I cry."

This high score is not only an affirmation of the plot and praise for the acting, but more importantly, it is the cry of movie fans: "We finally have the courage to face social problems!"

They also listed many foreign films that exemplify the power of change.

The Korean film "The Crucible" exposed the sexual assault cases that occurred in a school for the deaf and mute to the public, forcing Korean officials to pass the Sexual Assault Prevention Amendment Act, also known as the "Crucible Act."

In America, the release of the documentary "Food, Inc." eventually led to the creation of "Kevin's Law," which cracked down on substandard food factories.

In India, a film called "Toilet Hero" changed the fate of 6 million women, giving them the possibility of using the toilet at home.

Many people have high hopes for "Dying to Survive", hoping that this movie will have the same influence.

There are no high-profile stars in "Dying to Survive", and the actors who star in this movie can be said to be truly talented players.

As a result, it naturally formed a sharp contrast with "Lost Dynasty", a fan movie with a lot of traffic, which was released in the same period.

As for "Jade Dynasty", you have to say that the box office is not bad, although the word of mouth is a mess and Guo Xiaosi was even scolded to tears.

Fan Binbin has been in a really awkward situation recently. There's nothing he can do about it. Although everyone knows that the movie is so bad, the actors can't be blamed entirely. Guo Xiaosi still has to take the blame.

But the problem is, she is the heroine!
When promoting her product, what can she do when faced with unanimous negative reviews from netizens?
Of course she couldn't say that the movie was terrible and everyone shouldn't watch it.

She could only praise Guo Xiaosi as "the first person to try something new": "'Jade Dynasty' is actually a success. It just takes time and subtle influence."

Unfortunately, netizens are not buying it this time.

"Whether a new thing is good or bad does take time to test. Now, the audience has begun to understand that it is just a pile of shit!"

"You're only saying that because you don't have any decent work! It's strange. I could understand you acting in movies like this before, but why are you acting in such a crappy movie now that you've become a silent girl?"

"One is a bad movie director, the other is the queen of bad movies. They are birds of a feather. Haha. Anyway, I will avoid these two in the future."

"Is your own fart good to smell?"

"So many big names, so many popular stars, so much money was spent, and they made a movie that's neither real nor animated. Most importantly, it's not as good as Happy Sunshine!"

What’s even more interesting is that as one of the public “Mo girls”, Fan Binbin and Yang Mi’s performance in “Jade Dynasty” happens to collide head-on with Chen Mo’s “Dying to Survive”.

Although no one thinks these two movies need to be compared together, it is still very interesting.

After all, "Dying to Survive" has received rave reviews and is the ninth Chinese-language film to be rated above nine points.

But the heroine in "Dying to Survive" is not Fan Binbin, nor Yang Mi, but Tang Zhuo!

This makes it hard not to arouse the curiosity of netizens.

"Actually, I'm a little curious. Did they have a fight? Chen Mo didn't use Fan Binbin or Yang Mi in 'Dying to Survive'? I feel like they can act, right?"

"So the question is, when 'Dying to Survive' and 'Legend of Ravage' competed against each other, and the former crushed the latter, isn't that the equivalent of Chen Mo teaching these two Mo girls a lesson? They were both crushed!"

"You seem to be fine overall, but why do I always think it's wrong?"

This melon has also been reported by many media.

"Are Chen Mo and Miss Mo suspected of breaking up?"

"Dying to Survive crushes Legend of Zu. The former is directed by Chen Mo, while the latter stars Fan Binbin, one of Chen Mo's actresses, and Yang Mi. Is this a romantic relationship or a fire in the backyard?"

"Fan Binbin is being called the queen of bad movies, and the only actress among the silent girls who has not starred in a Chen Mo film!"

Many people took a closer look, and you wouldn't say, those who were related to Chen Mo.

The earliest silent girl, Zhao Liying, was the lead actress in "Let's Watch Meteors Together" after much persuasion. It was also this drama that made her rise from a supporting role to a rising star overnight.

After that, although she did not star in any of Chen Mo's works, she played important roles in many of Chen Mo's works.

It can be said that Zhao Liying is permanent, but the heroines are constantly changing.

As for Jing Tian, ​​the drama "My Love from the Star" made her famous all over the country.

Gao Yuanyuan, through the drama "Search", let audiences all over the country know that Ye Lanqiu is so beautiful!

Yang Mi, at least there is a movie called "The Shallows" which made her look sexy and beautiful.

Even Zhang Yuqi, who was suspected to be Chen Mo's "Mo Girl", worked with Chen Mo in "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City", playing the role of Chief of Staff Yang.

Only Fan Binbin has only worked with Chen Mo in one drama, "Search". Although her role as Chen Ruoxi received good reviews, she was not the heroine after all!

All of a sudden everyone started eating melons, and some even @陈默and 樊彬彬, asking the reason.

Whether it is Chen Mo or Fan Binbin, it is naturally impossible for them to really respond to such questions from netizens.

Just looking at the comments from netizens, Fan Binbin was a little defeated.

"Tell me, do I really have such bad taste? The queen of bad movies, haha!" Fan Binbin looked at Chen Mo blankly and asked.

"Hehe, actually it's not that exaggerated. If you had poor taste, you wouldn't have chosen me." Chen Mo didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, although he also felt in his heart that Fan Binbin's taste in choosing films was really not that good.

Although it can be explained by limited film resources, it is not to the extent of being the queen of bad movies. Well, Chen Mo admits that her vision for selecting films is not that good.

Fan Binbin gave Chen Mo a charming look with her beautiful eyes, then looked at Chen Mo with some resentment and said, "What they said is true. I haven't played your leading lady yet."

Chen Mo couldn't help but complain in his heart. As expected, the woman who had come to where she is today despite countless negative news was not that fragile. Fortunately, he still comforted her. He didn't expect that this woman would still be playing herself here.

This is not the first or second time that she has been called the queen of bad movies.

It's just that this time it's a bit special. Compared with the scale of the insults she received in the past, it's just child's play, right?
"You played the role of Princess Neon in Nirvana in Fire, wasn't it pretty good? It received rave reviews, right?" Chen Mo said with a smile. Although he knew that Fan Binbin was pretending to be aggrieved in front of him, she was his woman after all. What could he do?
And the fact is indeed so. Chen Mo, who is determined to become a master of balancing things, did think about it. It seems that it is true that Fan Binbin has never starred in his own works.

Princess Neon in "Nirvana in Fire" is another remarkable role after "The Empress of China".

It was very popular when it was first aired.

Chen Mo felt that although she had never starred in a work directed by herself, this drama, although not directed by herself, was still a critically acclaimed and commercially successful work.

"It's not bad! But after all, it's not directed by you." Fan Binbin said in a soft voice.

Chen Mo suddenly felt a bit of a headache. To be honest, Fan Binbin had quite a few works, but there weren't many that were really worth showing off.

Moreover, she did not accept the role that could have won her the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress in Feng Dagang's "I Am Not Madame Bovary" because of Chen Mo.

To be honest, it is indeed a bit unfair.

"Do you blame me for the incident of "I Am Not Madame Bovary"? " Chen Mo suddenly asked.

Fan Binbin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head. Actually, that wasn't something she could just play whenever she wanted. If it weren't for Chen Mo, she might have gritted her teeth and done it for the resources, but since she was already entangled with Chen Mo, she naturally had to make a break from the past. Being the leading lady in a Huayi film, or a Feng Dagang film, wasn't something that easy to get.

Although, if Chen Mo came forward, she might not have to pay any price, but at the same time, the price would be borne by Chen Mo.

"Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things. I've kept your story in mind and will think of you when I have the chance. So, isn't it time to fulfill the bet?" Chen Mo suddenly looked at her with ill intent.

"Well, the winner hasn't been decided yet." Fan Binbin said evasively.

"Hey, you're boring now, okay? You're willing to accept the loss, you don't really want to go back on your word and make some money, right?" Chen Mo said dissatisfiedly.

"Can you change it?" Fan Binbin looked at Chen Mo pitifully.

"No, I won't change it. As a man, once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back!" Chen Mo said the most unserious thing seriously.

"But, but, I'm not prepared! I heard it hurts a lot!" Fan Binbin said with a pitiful look.

However, for some reason, looking at her like this, Chen Mo felt more and more excited in his heart.

Ahem, it’s purely a certain kind of thing, those who understand will understand!
"Don't worry, I'm ready! Besides, aren't you curious at all?" Chen Mo said as he stood up and took out the things he had prepared.

Well, it’s just to be prepared!
When Fan Binbin saw that Chen Mo had even prepared all these things, he suddenly felt unwell.

"I'm not curious! Not curious at all! Anyway, let's just give up. How about a different one?" Fan Binbin looked scared.

Seeing that she was really resisting, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Although, he was also looking forward to it, but after all, he still respected her and at least would not force her to do anything she didn't want to do.

However, it is not impossible to settle for second best.

"Then pay some interest first?" Chen Mo suddenly looked at her with ill intention.

"Interest?" Fan Binbin was confused. Seeing Chen Mo's malicious smile, he suddenly felt helpless.

"What interest?" she asked, but for some reason she had a bad feeling in her heart.

Chen Mo said with a smile, but this time he didn't recite any poem.

Chen Mo said that he was purely curious, mainly watching the teaching of the teachers in the island country, and he simply wanted to put it into practice!

After hearing this, Fan Binbin couldn't help but pinch Chen Mo.

This bastard is really bad.

"Why do you always think about these things?" Fan Binbin said with some embarrassment.

"But I'm curious, do they play with you like this too?" Fan Binbin suddenly thought of this for some reason.

Now it was Chen Mo's turn to be silent. Be it Xiao Zhao, Yang Mi, or Gao Yuanyuan, none of them said, well, they usually played normally, nothing fancy.

At most, you can look at yourself in front of a floor-to-ceiling window or in front of a mirror.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuqi, this tiger woman, is indeed more unrestrained, but she has not achieved the level of all-roundness.

Of course Chen Mo would not answer her question. What a joke! How could he tell her such a thing?

"Just tell me if it's okay or not!" Chen Mo changed the subject.

"If you answer me, I will agree. Otherwise, forget it. What if I break my promise and get fat?" Fan Binbin was extremely curious and started to act like a rogue.

Chen Mo was at a loss at this moment.

"Zhang Yuqi is more unrestrained, ahem, the others are not." Chen Mo had to confess for the sake of his practical course.

"Really, I don't know where you learned all this nonsense!" Fan Binbin blushed, but finally compromised.

Although Chen Mo did not achieve his goal and complete the bet, he did put it into practice and earned some interest.

Sure enough, only generous and wealthy women like Zhang Yuqi, Yang Mi, and Fan Binbin can do such a thing!
You can try looking for the big secret next time!

During the seven-day National Day holiday, "Dying to Survive" demonstrated its absolute dominance.

In seven days, it earned 17 billion yuan at the box office, and including the box office from previews, the cumulative box office reached 18 billion yuan!
Although the popularity will decline after the holiday, he has already achieved most of what he boasted about.

With the popularity of "Dying to Survive", discussions about whether sky-high-priced drugs should be included in medical insurance have become increasingly popular.

At this time, the official news that evening also reported the grand release of "I Am Not a Drug Lord" and raised issues related to medical reform.

He also stated that relevant departments are actively coordinating and implementing follow-up measures for tax reduction of anti-cancer drugs, urging and promoting faster price reduction of anti-cancer drugs to give the people a greater sense of gain.

During the negotiations for inclusion in the medical insurance drug list last year, a number of cancer treatment drugs with proven efficacy but relatively high prices were included in the list.

For anticancer drugs included in the catalog, special bidding and procurement will be conducted in the near future. Taking full account of the impact of tax cuts, prices will be reduced through market competition. By balancing the interests of all parties, we will explore new solutions, strive to ensure affordable access to quality drugs for the majority of the population, and gradually reduce the medical expenses burden on patients with serious illnesses.

All major media outlets have once again focused their attention on the issue of medical reform. Various comments and in-depth reports have been carried out in full swing, attracting a lot of attention and also popularizing to the public the reality of pharmaceutical production and research and development in our neighboring country, India, which is also a populous country but whose economic level is not as good as ours.

At the same time, various parts of the country also announced the reimbursement situation of local anti-cancer drugs.

Many people were surprised to find that, in fact, the case of Cheng Yong, the prototype character of "Dying to Survive", had already attracted the attention of the authorities to this issue last year. After more than a year, many places across the country have actually introduced relevant policies.

"Dying to Survive" has once again sparked heated discussions.

After all, everyone had previously just said that they hoped and expected that the ending of "I Am Not a Drug Lord" would come true, but they did not expect that it would actually have such a great influence and actually indirectly promote medical reform.

Chen Mo's name was once again mentioned by countless netizens.

"If you ask me, Chen Mo is truly amazing! When he debuted, he used the "Stabbing Cult" incident to establish the first case of the newly introduced "cyberdefamation" crime. Later, 'Search' even fabricated the first case of cyberbullying. Now, 'Dying to Survive' is indirectly promoting medical reform. This kind of director is what makes a good director!"

"That's right. I hope there will be more films like this that can change social reality and reflect social issues!"

"I used to think that movies were just movies, meant to entertain the public, but Chen Mo's series of actions really shocked me! It turns out that movies can really change the world!"

"Changing the world is an exaggeration, but Chen Mo is truly amazing, and 'Dying to Survive' is truly amazing!"

"To be fair, the first real-life cyberbullying case brought to life by 'Search' certainly hung a sword of Damocles over the heads of cyberbullies, and the impact was significant. And while 'Dying to Survive' hasn't been fully aired yet, it's certainly having the influence to change the current state of our society!"

"What Chen Mo said is actually true. Our country is indeed getting better and better. In fact, the biggest contribution of the film 'Dying to Survive' was the event that inspired it, which promoted medical reform. The movie actually changed a lot. The prototype character, Cheng Yong, is different from the one in the movie in that he was sentenced to five years in prison and served three.

But in reality, Cheng Yong was not sentenced to five years in prison and served only three. Instead, he was investigated for more than 400 days and detained for more than 130 days, and the case was finally withdrawn.

Compared to the movie, I was really moved by seeing the experiences of the real-life prototype characters and seeing that "there is a time when the law can be humane"!
The future will get better and better, I hope that day will come sooner!"

"Yes, in fact, the fact that a film like 'Dying to Survive' that touches on the pain points of people's livelihood can pass the review is a huge progress!"

"The most inspiring thing about 'Dying to Survive' isn't the 'god' itself. The significance of 'Dying to Survive' lies in promoting drug import management and medical insurance reform. For each of us, what we most look forward to is a better medical environment."

"I like what Chen Mo said. When choosing this subject matter, the social value actually already existed. Those who nitpick this movie can stop now. Even if the movie has problems, even if it is indeed imperfect and far from the classics in your hearts, the fact that it dared to touch on such a subject matter and was filmed well is enough for it to be praised!"
