Is the plot of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" exaggerated?

"I'm Not the God of Medicine" will be released on July 6th. I just watched it in advance.

Generally speaking, movie creators who dare to release movies on a large scale in advance have great confidence in the quality of their movies. In fact, this is also true. I am not a movie star, nor a film critic. From the perspective of an ordinary audience, although there is still half a year in 2018 and many blockbusters have not been released yet, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" can basically be booked as a domestic movie. Top ten films of the year.

The plot of this movie is based on a true story. The real character is also a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia named Lu Yong. He needs to take a Swiss-produced "Gleevec" to fight cancer. medicine, but the price of this medicine is too high. A box costs more than 20,000 yuan, and ordinary people cannot afford it. By chance, he discovered that India has produced a medicine to prevent and treat "Gleevec", and its efficacy is basically the same as that of high-priced medicines. The same, but the price is only 4,000 yuan. Lu Yong bought this generic drug from India and brought it to other patients. Later, this behavior was prosecuted by the court and Lu Yong was arrested. Later, after a trial, the court ruled that Lu Yong was not guilty of selling counterfeit drugs and was acquitted.

This is probably the story, but of course the movie is not entirely based on fact. Art requires rich fictions and dramatic conflicts. The creator of this film fictionalized the little character Cheng Yong, played by Xu Zheng, and made him transform from a mercenary businessman who smuggles Indian divine oils and longs to make a fortune from smuggling drugs. Later, when his conscience finds out, he is willing to Helping patients take risks to smuggle drugs, be arrested and sentenced, etc. After experiencing a series of conflicts, the tension of the movie naturally formed.

To be honest, I admire Xu Zheng and director Wen Muye for their courage to touch on such a subject. You must know that in China, sky-high prices of drugs and medical reform themselves are sensitive topics. If you are not careful, this film The movie might just be killed. But Xu Zheng and Wen Muye looked very mature in handling this subject matter. Xu Zheng and Ning Hao’s production credits are indispensable. The director is also full of confidence in his ability to shoot such a subject.

So I don’t think it’s anything exaggerated, but it feels very real and touching! Hope to adopt it!
