I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

It came out after a thousand calls.

Just when everyone was looking forward to how Su Mu would come back to what he said on Weibo.

I am not a medicine god, and the premiere date has finally arrived.

After all, this is a public welfare movie, so the crew did not excessively promote it and just prepared a premiere in Beijing.

At this moment, the cinema was already overcrowded.

In addition to some invited celebrity guests, most of them are media related people who came after hearing the news.

Usually at the premiere, the core of the movie is explained, as well as the feelings of the relevant characters, the filming process, etc.

But this time it was slightly different.

Because there are many people in the media, including the audience, who actually care about none of this.

But I want to know what project Su Mu will choose next, the most challenging topic.

Halfway through the premiere, interviews with reporters soon began.

Everyone raised their hands, and then a reporter directly asked Su Mu a question.

"Hello Su Mu, I'm a reporter from Xinmei Entertainment. We all know that you wrote this movie on the spur of the moment during a charity event. Later, Director Zhang Huaimou and Director Zhang joined in to complete the filming, so I want to Ask, did a lot of difficulties arise in the middle?"

Su Mu nodded: "Indeed, there are many difficulties, such as sponsorship, inviting actors, etc."

Reporter: "Did some problems arise during the casting process?"

Su Mu replied: "It's just a small interlude. I would like to thank the actors who were able to come and participate this time. It was because they lowered their pay or even didn't pay for it that they were able to complete the filming of this movie.

So it can be said that everyone who participated in the show this time, including the crew, has made great efforts for public welfare, and I am very grateful for their efforts. "

After listening to Su Mu's words, everyone around him also applauded.

Some people were surprised and said in private: "I really didn't expect that so many actors can do charity work for free."

"This is what a star should do. Maybe this is Su Mu's influence."

"I hope the box office of this movie can take off all the way. In this case, the amount of money donated to charity will be higher."

Just as the people below were discussing.

Another reporter stood up and asked Su Mu a question.

But unlike the previous ones, this time the questions seem to be somewhat targeted.

"I heard some rumors. It is said that something unpleasant happened when the heroine was selected for this movie? Can you tell us what happened?"

Su Mu was startled when he heard this. He didn't know how the reporter opposite him learned about this matter.

But regarding this issue, the person who has the most say is actually Zhang Huaimou.

Su Mu didn't speak, but looked at Director Zhang aside.

Zhang Huaimou naturally understood what Su Mu meant. He stepped forward, took Su Mu's microphone, and said, "Let me answer this question. At the beginning, we did choose a lot of actors, especially women. Lord, I personally chose it.

It's just that the actor told me at that time that if I don't make a movie with a box office of less than 1 billion, and the cost of such a low-cost medicine god is difficult to estimate the box office, so I finally changed him.

But in my opinion, the real core of charity movies is definitely not to rely on people's kindness to earn box office. If the content is not good enough, it is the greatest disrespect for charity. "

Zhang Huaimou answered calmly.

And the implication in his words is that he doesn't want to go back to talk about this actress in detail, which is quite unlucky.

Of course, the reporter also knew what was going on, so he did not pursue further questions about this gossip.

But now it can be expected that once this video is released online, many people will definitely speculate, and maybe they will be able to figure out which actor it is.

"She will definitely regret it after I Am Not the Medicine God takes off at the box office."

"That's for sure. I really want to know who is so stupid that he didn't even participate in Director Zhang's play, and there's Su Mu."

"Yeah, there must be something wrong with your brain."

…

"There is another question I want to ask Su Mu." The reporter turned to look at Su Mu again, and then said: "This question may have nothing to do with today's movie. I have seen your Weibo before, about the previous public opinion turmoil. Respond to…

In our opinion, you are actually very brave in choosing this approach.

Don’t know what project you will choose next? I believe this is something that not only me, but also everyone here, including fans on the Internet, is concerned about. "

This time the reporter asked very directly.

And this is the purpose of their coming today.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, even if Su Mu regrets it now and deletes Weibo, the most he will do is be criticized by netizens in the comment area.

No one thought that Sumu would really find an unfamiliar field to challenge.

After all, the risk is too great.

Even though he had done many shocking deeds in the past, no one knew whether Su Mu was already very good at it or if he really just started in the middle.

Su Mu took the microphone and responded calmly: "It hasn't been decided yet, but when the release period of I Am Not the God of Medicine is over, I should be able to respond almost."

"Oh really?"

"That will be in a month."

"Are you sure it's okay?"

Everyone present was very excited after hearing this and recorded it one after another. Some even posted it online on the spot, as if they were afraid that Su Mu would regret it.

The premiere interview ended quickly.

Except for the response to Su Mu's matter, everyone was very satisfied and at least gave it a deadline.

Before that, no matter how curious you were, you had to wait until a month later.

As the press interviews for the premiere come to an end.

I Am Not the God of Medicine has been officially released in major theaters.

Everyone in the industry has also begun to pay attention to the box office data of Sumu's first charity movie.

Before this, many people also made predictions about this movie.

In particular, some professionals base their calculations on Sumu's own box office appeal.

It seems that there is not much confidence in the movie itself. After all, this is a script written on the spur of the moment, which is very hasty. According to rumors, the cost of filming is not very high.

Under such conditions and environment, it is difficult to achieve good results.

So we can only simply calculate Sumu's appeal, and most of the final predictions are that the box office will be in the range of 1.5-2 billion.

As for reaching the upper box office record, it seems unlikely.

as expected,

On the first day of release, the attendance rates given by major theaters did not seem to be particularly perfect, and almost did not reach 100% attendance.

Attendance rate is the test standard for a hit movie. Failure to achieve 100% attendance proves that the market’s expectations for the movie are not very strong.

After all, the subject matter of this movie is not particularly amazing.

Everyone knows that it is a story adapted from the past experiences of Guo Zhengrong and Lao Wu.

With such an urban background, and it was still that era, not many people were interested.

There are no cool special effects that young people want.

This went on for five days.

Just when someone was about to be sarcastic, there was a sudden reversal.

Word-of-mouth reviews online.

It actually started to explode in an instant.

Comment area:

[ @Everyone! Everyone, everyone, go watch this movie. Really, no one will say a word after watching it! It’s really beautiful, better than expected! So touching. ]

[I just finished watching it, and I just want to say I'm sorry for being so hesitant before. Damn it. I should have gone on the first day of release. ]

[It’s so good. I’d like to call it Su Mu’s most meaningful movie. If I choose one of all Su Mu’s works that makes me want to watch it 2 times or 3 times, except for The Wandering Earth, it should be this one. I’m Not the God of Medicine Got it! Believe me, it must be phenomenal! ]

[Believe me, this is definitely a rare masterpiece in China. ]

[real? Okay, okay, I'll go see it this afternoon. ]

The audience who watched it began to be overwhelmed with Amway.

Many celebrities and big names in the industry have also begun to comment.

[Dong Xuefei V: Although I have never worked with Su Mu, I have always paid attention to his movies. First of all, I want to thank him for opening the door to science fiction that I almost welded to death many years ago.

At that time, I always thought that Su Mu would probably continue on the road of science fiction, but what I didn't expect was that he could control so many themes.

What surprises me most is the connotation of the movie I Am Not the God of Medicine. I think it is worth watching by many people. It is very critical and allows people to see the good and evil of human nature.

If at next year's international film festival, we select several domestic works that have competed for awards in the past, then I will definitely give "I'm Not the God of Medicine" a vote! ]

[…]

[…]

At this time, there was a commotion on the Internet. No one thought that even Dong Xuefei, who had been silent for several years, would come out to support the movie "I am not the God of Medicine".

At the same time, the box office data for the first week was also released:

In the first week, Yaoshen’s box office was 930 million.

Although this figure is somewhat lower than many of Su Mu's previous films, it does not affect everyone's confidence.

After all, in the first few days, no one was curious about this movie.

That's why the box office in the first week was not very high.

And with the explosive word-of-mouth, it completely turned around in the second week.

At the end of the second week, the box office of Yao Shen reached 2.5 billion, and it was hard to get a ticket in major theaters.

Then it exceeded 3.8 billion in the third week, and at the end of the last week, I Am Not the God of Medicine officially broke through the 4 billion mark. As long as there are a few more days, 5 billion will definitely be within reach.

Although there is still a big gap with the 7 billion for Operation Red Sea.

But with the figure of 4 billion, it can definitely enter the Chinese box office list again.

And the discussion on the Internet began to gradually transform from admiration and praise of the movie to charity movies.

[This is a charity movie! I cried when I watched the last scene, but this is really ironic. Those who sell fake medicines are safe in the end, but those who really do good for patients end up in jail. Capital is evil! ]

[To be honest, I was shocked after watching it, and the sponsor was actually the three video giants. I didn’t expect that GE, Penguin and Oil Depot were the investors behind this movie. I always thought that these three companies would only ask us for membership every day. As for fees, they made a lot of money, but now things have changed. It turns out that they also do charity work. ]

[I can’t even imagine the amount of donation this time. With box office revenue of several billions, at least seven to eight billion, or even more than one billion, must be donated, right? Damn, this is so cool. Compared with Su Mu’s charity movies, those previous charity movies seem to be nothing worth mentioning. ]

[I remember the charity movies from the past few years. It seems that some people only donated a few million~! ]

[Yes, with a box office of hundreds of millions, I only donated a few hundred in the end. I still remember the investor, it seems to be the Zhang Group and the copyright of Jingrong Media! ]

[Damn, the reason why we donated movie tickets was for charity, did it all go into their pockets in the end? No, from now on we will follow Sumuzhen’s standards! If the majority of the box office proceeds are not donated, then we won’t watch anyone’s charity movies!]

[Yes! ]

The discussion on the Internet has been booming one after another.

And at this time,

In the Jingrong Media office.

Zhang Lin and Zhang Rongrong were staring at the online comments and the recently announced box office data of Medicine God with ugly expressions.

What we were most worried about happened, and it was more serious than expected.

a long time,

Zhang Lin said angrily: "How is this possible? Such a movie with only tens of millions of investment, the final box office can reach more than 4 billion?

No, what kind of magic power does this sumu have? Also, if he really wants to donate all such huge profits to charity, is he mentally ill? "

Zhang Rongrong was a little helpless, and then said: "I don't know whether he is sick, but now the public opinion on the Internet is all one-sided, and the group may also be affected. What should we do next? I heard that the group is preparing several charity movies next year Well, now..."

Zhang Lin's best slapped him a few times, but there was no response.

He really didn't know what to say.

According to the current public opinion on the Internet, if they don't shed some blood next year, it will be difficult for them to get over it.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Lin finally sighed dejectedly, picked up the phone, and then dialed.

Soon, a voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Zhang? What's the matter?"

Zhang Lin said: "Our group's charity film project for next year will be temporarily suspended."

"...?"

…

…

Huayi Building.

At this time, Su Mu didn't know that Zhang Lin was already suffering terribly.

At this moment, he was in Wang Jun's office.

Wang Jun handed the information in his hand to Su Mu: "These are several club projects invested by the company, covering many categories. It's embarrassing to say that most of them are losing money.

Several directors thought that since you want to do it, why not choose one from among ourselves. "

Su Mu read through it carefully, and then asked: "Which one loses more?"

Wang Jun: “Currently, the biggest business is the football club, which suffers the most losses. Of course, it also invests the most. After all, it is a major football project.

The club can participate in the Chinese League A. Of course, it will be relegated soon, so are you sure this is it? "

Su Mu smiled: "The more you lose, the more motivated you will be to increase your money."

Wang Jun: "???"
