I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 498, a plot you can easily guess?

This Cheng Yong

He's a heavyweight among all the characters he plays.

Poverty, domestic violence, greasy

He had a strange sense of pride, as he told the lawyer.

Your current financial situation is not a good thing for your child.

Cheng Yong was so impulsive that he was ready to hurt people, whether it was a lawyer or his ex-wife. He was irritable and would not hold back.

His ex-wife's last words were: "In my eyes, you're not a man."

Yes, what kind of man is this?

"What a despicable loser, I really want to punch him."

Gao Yuanyuan then complained, "You said this guy has a real-life counterpart? How come the counterpart looks like this?"

The character is not just unlikable, it's awful. This Cheng Yong is someone you can't possibly like at all.

He's terrible.

but

One thing that was fully expressed about this character was that he was actually very short of money.

Losing custody of his son and the landlord's clamor only made this decadent and degenerate man even more slovenly. His disheveled appearance was truly the kind of thing that people and even dogs would despise.

If things continue to degenerate like this, even the Indian herbal oil shop that they rely on for a living will go out of business.

Life just keeps going downhill like this.

"What era are we living in? Still using Indian oil? That's such an outdated stuff." The innkeeper next door teased Cheng Yong as always, "Everyone uses Viagra now."

Cheng Yong didn't bother to pay him any attention.

It's none of your business!

You actually know everything.

It's just that you're unwilling to change—come, let me introduce you to someone, Lü Shouyi, my old neighbor.

A gaunt and emaciated man stood before Cheng Yong, exuding an aura of extreme weakness.

Sunken eyes, pale lips, and skin with an unnatural grayish-black tinge.

Cheng Yong felt a bit disgusted; this was a normal physiological reaction of a healthy person to a "patient."

An instinctive fear of disease

At this point, the neighbor said...

He wants you to bring some medicine from India.

smuggling?

Aren't all the things here smuggled in?

At this moment, Lü Shouyi took off his mask, which was layered on top of the other, and gave a fawning smile.

"Don't give me that crap. You know that smuggling drugs is a criminal offense."

"It's not that bad."

"Given such a huge risk, you're only offering 30,000 yuan?"

"Boss, this is a business opportunity! The genuine medicine in China costs 37,000 yuan a bottle, while the pirated version in India costs 20,000 yuan, and the effects are exactly the same. You should bring back more."

"Wait a minute, the effects are exactly the same, but the efficacy differs by twenty times?"

"yes!"

"Roll, roll, roll, roll"

People will do anything that could cost them their lives, but they won't do anything without profit. Twenty times different, but the effects are exactly the same, you've been scammed, haven't you?

Do I, Cheng Yong, look like someone who can be easily deceived, given how smart I am?

I am a patient myself, I know that!

Cheng Yong remained unmoved. Such a good opportunity to make money, why are you doing it for me instead of your relatives? To put it bluntly, isn't there a risk involved?

A wise person doesn't stand under a crumbling wall.

Of course, in the end, Cheng Yong still dialed Lü Shouyi's number, because at this very moment.

He himself was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia.

Poverty, illness, being looked down upon by others, and custody of his son.

Although Cheng Yong was a bad person, the heavy burdens and pressures of life could indeed weigh on his body.

Let this rotten person also have the motivation to make a decision.

The bill from the doctor was beyond Cheng Yong's means.

The landlord also shut down the gates to his own shop.

Each of the thin bills was as heavy as Mount Tai. He asked the doctor about them once when he went to the hospital for treatment.

Yes, there is a drug called Gleevec, and it is the best drug for treating chronic myeloid leukemia.

Doctor, have you ever heard of Gleevec from India?

Who told you that?

I heard it from a friend of mine.

How effective is the medicine?

Don't ask how effective the medicine is. If I find out you've used it on your own, I will refuse treatment. Many doctors do this; once they find out, they will refuse treatment.

Disgust, rejection, vigilance.

The doctor's attitude towards this medicine was quite clear.

Cheng Yong was puzzled by this. Why?

Because this is a banned drug, this is a counterfeit drug, who will be responsible if someone gets sick from taking it?

What if many patients can't afford Gleevec?

Then there's nothing you can do; once you enter the acute phase, you can only wait to die.

The doctor spoke casually, stating as if it were the most natural outcome for those who couldn't afford the medicine.

If you can't afford it, you might as well just wait to die.

At the beginning of the series, "The God of Medicine" had a slightly humorous tone, and the plot was quite clear.

You can guess what will happen next.

For these reasons and principles, Cheng Yong took the risk of smuggling drugs and gradually became a smuggling tycoon.

"It's a bit like the rise of an arms tycoon, except that the arms tycoon smuggled weapons, while Cheng Yong smuggled drugs, specifically Gleevec."

Liu Lili, who has watched countless movies, could tell just by looking at it.

This is the formula of commercial films, and the Hollywood format.

It's a bit cheesy, but it's very useful. At least it explains Cheng Yong's motives and why he became a smuggler.

His motivation.

That makes perfect sense. He's short of money, and he's also suffering from an illness—chronic myeloid leukemia—so he has an urgent need for help.

This is an exciting movie, and at least at this moment, Liu Lili's emotions have been stirred up.

It's a commercial film that focuses on business.

The purpose of making movies is to produce commercial films with the goal of making money.

"He has also become a qualified commercial film director." At this moment, Liu Lili asked Liu Qianqian next to her.

His words were neither complimentary nor derogatory.

I was simply analyzing what I saw objectively.

Undeniably, film forms the most fundamental tone here.

When asked about her mother's evaluation, Liu Qianqian simply said that she would only know after watching and would then have the right to speak.

At this time, Cheng Yong arrived in India to work at a generic drug manufacturing plant.

However, Cheng Yong's scale was indeed smaller at this time.

The factory manager of the generic drug manufacturer also showed little interest.

He told the factory manager of the counterfeit factory that although this time the goods were only worth tens of thousands of dollars, the future would definitely be much more than that.

In China, there are many patients who cannot afford the genuine Gleevec and can only afford the pirated version.

This blue ocean market is waiting for me to explore!

The factory manager said to him.

Do you want to be a savior?

No, I want to make money. Money is life, and life is money!

The following routine was also very standard.

Smuggling encountered difficulties, and sales channels could not be opened up. However, as a patient, Lü Shouyi knew many people with chronic myeloid leukemia, and they were all members of a patient support group.

Through these people.

The first channel for Glenin was opened.

To achieve initial sales volume.

It's quite exhilarating to watch; this is the kind of story that gets your blood pumping. It's the growth saga of a business tycoon, and that's the feeling it evokes.

Of course, besides the exhilarating feeling, it also makes you feel that these people, these patients, acted very well.

They really have the feel of patients.

Desolate and weak.

It wasn't just the extras; even the second lead actor, Lü Shouyi, had that same feeling of utter weakness.

It makes people think he's a patient.

A patient who is nearing the end of his life, yet this patient is still struggling with all his might.

Of course, this feeling was fleeting. For the viewers, the biggest crisis in Lü Shouyi's life had been resolved, and what followed was the highlight of his life.

He joined Cheng Yong in this smuggling team.

Besides Cheng Yong, the main members of this smuggling team all appeared: the dancer was in charge of sales, the priest was in charge of translation, Huang Mao was in charge of errands, Lü Shouyi was the founding member, and Cheng Yong was the boss, controlling the channels and transportation, the two most important points.

Then the main characters were brought together.

A group of passionate main characters.

The acting was really good.

The feeling of this action-packed movie, combined with Rocky's background music, feels completely natural.

Struggle, passion, crime, smuggling.

By the time we arrived, the atmosphere of an art film had lightened considerably.

Cheng Shilong watched with great interest.

"I thought it was one of those pretentious and awkward art films, but I didn't expect it to be such a commercially successful, action-packed movie."

Watching Chengshilong makes me feel like my dopamine levels are surging.

He can then sense the fun in it.

"Go get me some popcorn."

"Can't you go by yourself?" Zhou Xingxing rolled his eyes at Cheng Shilong and then started ordering him to buy popcorn.

"I'm afraid I'll miss the best parts."

Since "Rob-B-Hood", Jackie Chan has been fond of this kind of simple and straightforward action movie. There may be some tearful moments in the middle, but they do not affect the main theme of the story.

now.

This movie looks like a typical action-packed movie.

An exciting movie.

The movie's plot then corroborated Cheng Shilong's view.

Cheng Yong was immersed in a sea of ​​money, his face beaming with a joy he had never experienced before.

During the celebration at the bar, that single mother, that dancer, was the group leader of the Shanghai chronic myeloid leukemia community.

At this point, the bar manager told her to get up and dance, as the customers were all waiting.

Cheng Yong said with an arrogant expression.

She's a guest today.

"But she won't jump, and nobody else will."

"If she won't dance, can't you dance?"

"Are you going to jump or not? Are you going to jump or not? Are you going to jump or not?!"

Cheng Yong said it once.

He slammed a stack of money onto the table.

Faced with the insult of money, the bar manager decisively took off his clothes and danced more happily than anyone else.

Money is life, and life is money.

The joy that money can bring is unimaginable. Cheng Yong laughed heartily, overjoyed. All his unhappiness was redeemed in the feeling of "insulting" others by throwing money around.

Cheng Yong bought something with money.

That is dignity. Once upon a time, everyone humiliated him because of money, but now he can use money to humiliate others, and others feel happy about it.

They should thank you for insulting him with money.

Satirical humor.

Some of the parts are quite spicy.

It has a bit of the feel of Stephen Chow's movies.

Stephen Chow saw a reflection of his past self in this movie.

Something hidden beneath a veneer of humor and action.

Up to this point, it is indeed a thrilling movie.

The rise of an ordinary person, from a small-time oil vendor to a smuggling tycoon of Gleevec, is a step-by-step process of transformation, from humble beginnings to someone whom everyone looked down upon.

Sprinkling money like rain.

His life was already complete. At this point, the plot had already been rehearsed for more than half of its course, and the next part of the story seemed quite predictable.

There are essentially two possible outcomes: encountering an equally matched opponent, defeating them, but ultimately repenting and being brought to justice. That's how a standard movie could end.

Another possible outcome is that the character goes down a dark path, remaining a smuggler until the very end, eventually becoming a smuggling tycoon and a true villain. This also seems to be a possible ending.

In short, this type of film only has these two endings.

"The second half of the plot is pretty predictable, but that also means it's solid enough that nothing will suddenly happen that will throw you off balance," Stephen Chow joked, seemingly commenting on the plot's stability and reliability.

At this point, only about half an hour had passed in the movie.

At this point, Stephen Chow was a little worried because the second half of the plot was so easy to predict, and the movie was so long, it would be easy to bring in some unrelated things into the story.

This is a fairly common occurrence; creators sometimes lose control of the plot's pacing, resulting in something like this.

For a film that focuses on the history of a company's growth, this pace is a bit too fast.

It's so fast that you don't know how the story will unfold next.

It makes one curious about how the story will unfold next.

"The unique pacing of the plot, typical of new screenwriters and directors, should ultimately outweigh the flaws. At least from what I've seen so far, the actors have all performed quite well, especially Wang Chuanjun. If you told me he was an unknown sitcom actor before, I wouldn't believe it. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he was a promising talent cultivated by some industry."

It's hard not to admire someone who is so outstanding.

If Li Yun's acting skills are described as incredibly natural...

Therefore, Wang Chuanjun's acting skills possess explosive power.

He is the kind of actor who can deliver explosive performances; his explosive acting skills and dramatic tension are truly breathtaking.

You could say he was somewhat of an exception in this whole affair.

And then there's Eddie Peng's portrayal of the blond-haired character—that sickly, weak feeling, combined with the sense of forcing himself to be strong, doesn't seem like acting.

And just as the two seasoned veterans had predicted, a villain suddenly appeared, a colleague who was at odds with Cheng Yong.

look.

I guessed what would happen next.

Just as expected, just as the expected direction unfolded.

Presumably, what follows...

It's about suffering a major setback, and then Rocky-esque inspiration and rise again.

That should be the case.

If that's the case, then the plot is all too predictable.

"As expected, I'm still too young."
