my time as a director

At 05:30 in the afternoon, the ready crew continued to shoot for a new day of I am not the god of medicine.

Compared with yesterday, Xu Zheng has changed his makeup.

The messy mid-length hair turned into neat short hair, the skin on the face is much better, the eyebrows and beard are much more tidy, and although there are no suits and leather shoes in the clothes, at least they are clean and tidy.

If yesterday's Xu Zheng was a down-and-out idler, he is dressed like an ordinary office worker today.

First, I shot a scene where I bought medicine from the pharmacy and walked to the street, and then the main scene began.

"Scene 63, one shot at a time!"

Makuno shouted "Start" in the smoke.

Xu Zheng covered his mouth and nose, and appeared on the monitor with a heavy face, looking at the vast and foggy scene in front of him.

The camera brought Xu Zheng's eyes and presented the surrounding scenes one by one.

There was no excitement, no children's frolic, and everyone hurried past with their mouths and noses covered.

Occasionally, there are small carts passing by, and the bells on the carts make a long and charming sound, the rhythm is a bit like the bells in the temple.

Then the camera gave a close-up shot of a person who was spraying insecticide spray. The sprayer in his hand looked a bit like a Gatling machine gun, and he was also carrying it, shooting around.

Suddenly, several mosquitoes appeared in the camera, just hitting the muzzle of the gun.

The camera moved forward and gave a close-up. The insecticide spray from the sprayer drowned several mosquitoes, and then fell straight to the ground, motionless.

And that person continued to repeat this action, spraying around, not paying attention to the few mosquitoes.

The little trolley just now appeared again, and the voice of "Ding Ling, Dang Clang" wafted on the street, and then left the sight of the camera.

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Qian shouted heavily in front of the monitor, and excitedly picked up the walkie-talkie, "Old Zhang, the long shot just now was perfect!"

This is art, a lens like a work of art.

Zhang Zhonghua just waved to Li Qian calmly, indicating that it was OK, and began to prepare for the next scene.

In the second scene, Xu Zheng looked at the scene in front of him in a little confusion, surrounded by smoke, until he saw someone carrying two statues of gods walking past him.

These two gods are Shiva and Kali, the gods and couples in Indian mythology. Shiva is the god of destruction, one of the three main gods of Hinduism, symbolizing destruction and new life.

Watching the statue walk by in front of him, Xu Zheng slowly let go of his hand covering his mouth and nose.

The camera showed a close-up of the face, and Xu Zheng watched the statue go away in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the fog that cannot be seen clearly, Cheng Yong also began to struggle in his heart, what should be the way ahead.

This is a change in Cheng Yong's heart. The Buddha statue reflects that Cheng Yong wants to complete the salvation of his heart. He doesn't want to become a god, but just wants to have a clear conscience.

Just like the statue just now, with a head in its hand, there is a legend in it.

Legend has it that one day, a demon with powerful magic power appeared in the Three Realms. This demon has powerful magic power. For every drop of blood it drops on the ground, a thousand incarnations as powerful as him will appear on the ground to bring disaster to the world.

Parvati, the wife of Shiva, one of the three great gods, was furious when she heard the news, so she turned into the goddess Kali to destroy the demon.

Goddess Kali was afraid that the demon would drop his own blood on the ground during the duel, causing a thousand demon incarnations with the same mana to appear, so she sucked up its blood first, not a single drop remained.later.

Kali finally wiped out the demon, but she was affected and became violent. Her feet could not help trampling the ground vigorously, which affected the lives of all beings in the three realms.

In order to alleviate the pain of all living beings, Shiva, his partner, lay at Kali's feet and let him trample on him to vent his hatred. This is why Shiva was lying at Kali's feet in the statue just now.

Kali is a drug dealer who sells high-priced medicines, and Cheng Yong is Shiva. The new medicine developed by the drug dealer has saved all living beings, but the high price also makes him lose himself.

Cheng Yong felt powerless, caught between drug dealers, the government, and patients. No matter what choice he made, he was not the one to benefit. However, his conscience prevented him from leaving.

In order not to let all living beings suffer, he chose to lie down and let others trample on him.

Hell is empty, and the devil is in the world!

Chapter 296 Aamir Khan

I'm not the God of Medicine The crew has been in India for a week. There are not many scenes here, but every scene is the key point, so it can't be sloppy.

However, there is plenty of time, except that on the first day, in order to fit Cheng Yong's long journey to India, the filming started when he came to India without enough rest, and the other schedules were relatively generous.

A week has passed, and the filming of all the scenes in India has been almost completed, including some background shots of the airport and aerial shots in New Delhi.

On the 12th, in a factory run by Chinese on the outskirts of New Delhi, the last scene of India was filmed, which was the scene where Cheng Yong came to buy medicine for the first time.

There is no need to arrange a separate studio, which saves trouble.

For this scene, there were not many shots, one day, and there was no rush. After a few NGs, Li Qian also patiently talked about the scene.

"Brother Zheng, when you know that the generic drug with a retail price of 2000 is only 500 yuan in the factory, you can put aside the surprise in your eyes a little bit, don't be like winning 500 million, and hold back when you laugh, this is for us. The audience watched."

Xu Zheng was puzzled, "However, with such a high profit, any businessman would do this. Cheng Yong started selling medicine to make money."

"That's right, but you have to take into account the audience's thoughts, and you can't be a profiteer from the beginning, too much."

"In this case, it's the same if you sell 5000 bottles later and get angry at the patient?"

"That's different. At that time, although he sold 5000 a bottle and made a profit of 4500 a bottle, he really helped the patients. Although the audience would think it was a bit dark, they would not hate this character, even if Cheng Yong It's just for making money, and it can't make the audience hate this character." Li Qian explained patiently.

"In fact, it is similar to the Buddhist saying that he puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha immediately. Most people will feel dissatisfied if a murderer full of crimes puts down the butcher's knife and becomes a Buddha. Get rid of it, put down the butcher knife, it will be easier for people to accept."

Muye interjected, "Cheng Yong is an ordinary person who loves money and a small person, but he must not be portrayed as a profiteer in the first half. If he looks like a profiteer here, it will make the audience disgusted."

"Okay, I'll try." Xu Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

It's a very subtle difference, and the effect presented is different.

At this time, an Indian who had been on the sidelines interrupted, speaking fluent English.

"Director Li, you are so concerned about the audience's reaction, is it for the box office?"

The one who spoke was Aamir Khan, an actor in India second only to Shah Rukh Khan, the king of Bollywood. He heard that the director who created the box office record of Chinese movies came to India to film. He came to watch the filming the day before yesterday.

Although I didn't question Li Qian's age, but after watching Li Qian's filming in the past three days, I found that Li Qian often emphasized the audience's feeling of watching movies.

It would be normal if it was an ordinary commercial movie, but after learning about the movie I'm Not the God of Medicine and its background, I always felt that Li Qian was a bit too philistine, so I couldn't help but make a sound.

Seeing the over forty King of India who still had a harmless baby face, Li Qian nodded, "That's right, it's really for the box office."

"But?"

Aamir Khan didn't finish his sentence, but it didn't mean that the meaning was already obvious and he couldn't understand it.
