From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Ding Zhi's birthday is a minor episode for the crew of "The God of Medicine".

As for the strange thing that happened that night, little is known about it.

On the second day, the crew started work as usual and continued to engage in intensive filming.

The only thing that made many people think it was a bit abnormal was that the role of the actress named Shen Qiao who played Cheng Yong's ex-wife was moved forward. After filming her part, it was hurriedly completed.

On the surface, it is said that the schedules cannot be coordinated, but no one has studied the real reason.

After all, there is really nothing that people can care too much about for a little-known actor who joined the cast through connections, and a supporting character who only lasts a few minutes and is just a backdrop.

People with more delicate minds, such as Wen Yongshan or Zhang Yi, seemed to have some clues and knew that it must be related to the arrangement of director Ding Zhi, but they would not specifically ask about it.

It has been filming in Yangcheng for a month and a half, and the filming progress according to the script is already more than half way.

After Zou Yutong joined the group for more than half a month, he finally had a major scene.

In fact, in the past few days, she had filmed relatively fragmented scenes. For example, when Lu Yiyi brought Cheng Yong to her home for the first time, it was the first appearance of the character played by Ms. Zou.

At that time, her basic function was the same as that of Lu Yiyi's newborn child. She existed as the background board of "Lv Yiyi's family", which could be regarded as giving Lu Yiyi, the source of the entire story of "The God of Medicine", a deeper character. Fill and shape.

Why did Lu Yiyi seek to survive in an almost groveling manner? In addition to the animal's instinct to survive, it was more about his guilt and reluctance towards his family, his wife and children.

This layer also changed later when Lu Yiyi's condition worsened and chronic myelogenous leukemia entered the blast phase.

Because at that time, he could only be a drag. On the one hand, it was the huge medical expenses that cost him his life, and on the other hand, he was hopeless and almost certain to die.

This is one of the reasons why Lu Yiyi desperately tried to survive in the early stage, but a year later he actively sought death many times.

Speaking of which, the drama "The God of Medicine" is also a man's drama. Cheng Yong, Lu Yiyi, Huang Mao, Officer Cao, and even Pastor Liu are all men.

If we really take it seriously, Wen Yongshan's character is naturally the leading female lead, and if we look further down the line, Zou Yutong's role can already be regarded as the second female lead.

The reason why this character was able to knock out the role of Cheng Yong's ex-wife and become the second female lead in the drama with the same few minutes of scenes is naturally because this character had a few more scenes than his ex-wife. Important emotional drama.

In the script, after Cheng Yong made his first pot of gold, he stepped up the process of selling generic drugs. Although they were nearly ten times cheaper than genuine drugs, he still made a lot of money with the same ten times profit. .

But the surprise soon came.

The large-scale proliferation of generic drugs in Guangfu and even the southern provinces of Guangdong has affected genuine drugs. Therefore, the domestic agent of Swiss Greining found the police, and the police began to investigate the generic drugs.

On the other side, Zhang Changlin, a counterfeit drug dealer, also appeared and threatened Cheng Yonglai, forcing him to sell the domestic agency rights of Indian generic drugs to him.

After some weighing, Cheng Yong quit and stopped selling medicine!

Today's scene happened one year after Cheng Yong quit selling generic drugs.

.....

.....

"Brother Zhi! You are all ready. Do you need to walk again first?"

Assistant director Ali came over and asked about everything in detail.

During this period of filming, the assistant director had completely figured out the temper of Ding Zhi, the boss.

Basically, just think of yourself as a tool like a loud voice.

Ding Zhi waved his hand and said no.

Compared with previous scenes, his appearance today looks a little different.

At this time, his hairstyle was much cleaner and neater than before, from the greasy mid-length hair with a bit of a second-rate temperament to the current "boss hair".

In fact, this is also a small detail. The hairstyle that Cheng Yong had before was actually the hairstyle that was popular in many people from the 1990s to the beginning of the new century, including many people born in the 1990s who are looking for their father’s hairstyle.

Old photos, maybe the kind that were left behind.

Of course, Ding Zhi didn't really grow his hair again for this drama before. The medium-length hairstyle that looks a bit frumpy based on the current aesthetics is actually the look created by the hair condom.

In April and May in Yangcheng, the temperature is already very high. Wearing this hood all day long for filming is actually not comfortable.

"Okay! Everyone is in your place! A Liu! Adjust your orbit a little higher, yes, yes, okay, it's almost done!"

After making some minor adjustments, the assistant director made the decision and filming officially began.

...

...

"Hey! Mr. Li! This way, please! Haha!"

Ding Zhi lowered his waist and guided several people in suits and leather shoes behind him to visit the garment workshop.

"This is our sewing workshop! Now our assembly line is very mature!"

"All the equipment in this workshop is imported. After a while, I will have to buy another batch of equipment!"

"In front is our cutting workshop, please come this way, please come this way"

Ding Zhi opened his hands somewhat exaggeratedly and introduced to the customers. No matter his tone, movements, or even his slightly bent waist, he was full of the temperament of a small factory owner.

After handing over the agency rights of generic drugs to Zhang Changlin, a counterfeit drug dealer, Cheng Yong used the money he earned from selling drugs to open a clothing factory. From a small self-employed person selling Indian magic oil, he became a man with a monthly income of several

A factory owner with a salary of 100,000 can be regarded as having achieved a class leap.

After leading customers to visit the workshop, it was customary to go singing, drinking and socializing. This was an essential process in that era and even today.

Talking about business, drinking, calling my sister, all in one go are all routine operations.

When they walked outside the factory, Ding Zhi, with a smile on his face, diligently opened the car door for the customer.

"Your car is right behind my car!"

Ding Zhi smiled and said to the client's driver, not forgetting to say to Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, I'm in front!"

But when he walked towards his car, he accidentally saw a person who shouldn't be there, and he couldn't help but froze.

Ding Zhi seemed to be identifying the other person carefully, fearing that he had seen the wrong person, and frowned slightly with a hint of surprise.

"Brother and sister? Why are you here?"

The camera at this time gave another perspective, giving Zou Yutong a big close-up.

Speaking of which, just like Ding Zhi gained weight for this role, Zou Yutong actually made some changes in his appearance in order to play this role.

Zou Yutong's makeup at this time particularly shows her age, which is completely different from the pure and beautiful first love look in "Peeping" and "The Eraser in My Brain".

In the script, Lu Yiyi's wife has already given birth to a child. Coupled with her husband's illness, life and financial pressure are all piled on the shoulders of this weak woman, so she will naturally look much older.

At this time, Zou Yutong's style was much more "bad" than before. Her hair was tied up casually, and messy hair was sticking out everywhere. It looked like she hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

"Brother Yong!"

Facing Ding Zhi's question, Zou Yutong took a step forward with some hesitation, with a look of sorrow on his face. Even the words "Brother Yong" were shouted a little softly, as if he had no strength.

"I finally found you."

"Is...is there something wrong?"

Ding Zhi was obviously unable to react.

After the "Medicine God Team" broke up, Cheng Yong didn't know whether it was because of guilt or avoidance that he deliberately did not inquire about the current situation of his former friends and never contacted them again.

But Lu Yiyi's wife came to his door, something he never expected.

"Is Lao Lu okay?"

The wind ruffled the ends of Zou Yutong's hair and brushed against her already red eyes, but she didn't know whether she had shed all her tears or something. At this time, there was only sorrow in her eyes, without tears.

"He's not well."

But when he said it, there was still a trace of uncontrollable crying.

“Brother Yong, can you still get Indian medicine?”

Ding Zhi tilted his body, a little puzzled, "Isn't Zhang Changlin selling Indian medicine?"

"He ran away, and the police confiscated all the medicine. There has been no medicine for a long time."

Ding Zhi frowned, as if he still didn't understand.

"Police...how did the police know?"

Zou Yutong's tone had a suppressed calmness, as if he was explaining something very obvious.

"He was ordered by someone. Zhang Changlin raised the price of the medicine to 20,000 yuan. Many people couldn't afford it, so no one could protect him anymore."

"der~~~"

It seemed that the two of them had been delayed here for too long, and the customer's car behind them started honking.

Ding Zhi quickly turned around, "Hey! Right now! Right now, right now!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and looked at Zou Yutong, "Listen to me. Leave your phone number with the security guard first. I'll go see Lao Lu in two days."

Ding Zhi's words, or his rush to leave, made Zou Yutong panic and grabbed Ding Zhi's hand.

"Brother Yong! We have had several surgeries and we have no money anymore."

Ding Zhi, who was pulled by Zou Yutong, was obviously a little anxious. The big customer behind him was urging him. He was about to negotiate this big deal. He was delayed by this. I wonder if there would be any unhappiness in his heart.

Happy.

So he couldn't help but feel a little perfunctory in his heart and wanted to withdraw his hand.

But Zou Yutong tightened his grip and spoke faster, "Lao Lu, he can't hold it anymore. He doesn't want to be treated anymore."

"I......"

Ding Zhi was obviously very anxious too.

"I know, but today...I have other things to do today."

"He cut his wrists!!"

Zou Yutong's mood suddenly became excited, and her voice was a bit too high when she was crying. Obviously, her husband's suicide was a bigger shock to her than the deterioration of her condition.

In front of the camera, Ding Zhi's pupils shrank, and even the muscles on his face contracted slightly. The helpless and anxious look before seemed to be erased by the shock caused by the news.

"Fortunately it was discovered in time..."

Zou Yutong stared with teary eyes and grabbed Ding Zhi's hand as if grasping a life-saving straw.

"Without medicine he would be dead."

"Brother Yong, I beg you..."

Saying that, Zou Yutong plopped down and knelt down.

"Hey!"

Ding Zhi was obviously a little panicked. At the same time, the horn of the customer's car behind him came again, and he was obviously very impatient.

"Right now!"

Ding Zhi quickly turned around and apologized, pulling Zou Yutong to help her up while calling the security guard at the door.

"Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang, come here!"

"Can you leave your phone number with him? I will definitely visit Lao Lu in two days."

"Brother Yong, help him!"

After Ding Zhi broke away from her hand, Zou Yutong knelt on the ground, his whole mood collapsed, and tears flowed down like a bursting dam.

Ding Zhi opened the car door anxiously, leaving only the security guard comforting Zou Yutong.

"The child is still young and cannot live without his father!"

Like a drowning person seeking help from someone on the shore, she reached out to Ding Zhi's car, but she could only watch the car drive away.

The camera moved and the rearview mirror in the car reflected a wife and mother on the verge of collapse, kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.

"Click."

Assistant director Ali's voice came from not far away.

At this time, Zou Yutong was still crying out of breath, and it seemed that he had not calmed down yet.

Until Ding Zhi came back, she was still there eagerly fanning her big eyes, tears still shining.

I have to say that in this scene, Zou Yutong is the absolute protagonist, and even Ding Zhi is acting as her partner.

At this time, her whole person changed from the sadness when she appeared to the emotional explosion at this time, which was just right.

Even Ding Zhi felt that he couldn't find any faults, which was rare.

"Awesome, awesome! Teacher Zou is awesome!"

"Woooooo~"

Zou Yutong paused, glanced at Ding Zhi, then turned his head and cried even harder.

"Too bad for you! Zou Kai! Wuwuwu..."

When she cried, many people present wanted to comfort her, but in the end they all laughed.

Ding Zhi froze on the spot, slightly embarrassed.

The photographer who was responsible for taking the behind-the-scenes photos would not let go of this fun scene.

As I said before, Ms. Zou's style can be both sweet and controlling, and she can even act in sandbox dramas, but her biggest advantage is that she is particularly strong in emotional dramas.

For example, in "The Eraser in My Brain", her crying scenes are some of the most out-of-the-box scenes.

Influenced by Ding Zhi, she had a pitifully few roles, but most of them were high-quality films. She even got to where she is now just by relying on the bonus of being the heroine of the highest-grossing romance film.

A crying scene like this, a scene that requires an outburst of emotion, is actually in Zou Yutong's comfort zone.

And this time she also performed exceptionally well, basically in one go.

It has to be said that Zou Yutong's acting skills at this time are completely different from when Ding Zhi first met her.

This progress does not happen overnight.

I was still a little unfamiliar in "Peeping", and then under the guidance of Ding Zhi in "The Eraser in My Brain", there was a qualitative breakthrough like a coincidence, and now the character has begun to have a kind of mellowness.

feeling.

"Okay, Ali, this is over, ready to clean up and change the scene."

While Ding Zhi continued to arrange follow-up work.

Xiaopang suddenly hurried over from the side.

"What's wrong?"

Ding Zhi frowned. He had already told him not to disturb him if it wasn't something important during filming.

"Something happened. Brother Zhi!"

Xiaopang looked anxious.
