"Ahem," Zhou Yiyang always felt like someone was talking about him, "Do you know what other movies are scheduled for the same period as mine?"

"I know," Ning Mang raised his lips, "Brother, I'm a die-hard movie fan! Are you talking about that movie called 'Tomorrow's Sonata'? I definitely won't watch it!"

Seeing Ning Mang's resolute attitude, Zhou Yiyang became curious: "Why? Just because it was trying to scam me in its previous marketing? You're such a brother!"

However, Ning Mang shook his head. "Not really. The main thing is that the movie poster is so unreliable! It's clearly advertised as a science fiction film, but the biggest part of the poster is the male and female protagonists kissing. My god, this completely confuses the main and the secondary!"

"After all, it's a science fiction romance film. The science fiction in the front is a cover, and the romance in the back is the highlight." Zhou Yiyang was not that angry when he mentioned this movie.

Just as Ning Mang said, professionals like him already know the nature of this movie after seeing the various promotional materials for it.

However, this type of movie does have its audience. As for whether it can make money, it depends on whether it can meet the low requirements of its audience.

If even that requirement is not met, I'm afraid the box office prospects will not be so optimistic.

At this time, Zhou Yiyang quickly turned his attention back because the movie finally started.

When the five words "I Am Not a Drug Lord" appeared on the screen, Zhou Yiyang felt a little subtle.

He seemed to be back in that summer on Earth, sitting alone in the theater, watching the preview of this movie.

The online environment at that time was exactly the same as it is now, and no one cared about this movie.

There is no traffic, no young and handsome actors, no fancy marketing methods. It looks like an unknown cannon fodder in a movie theater.

Ning Mang watched very attentively and found that the story was very different from what he had imagined.

Helian Bei's appearance exceeded all expectations.

He used to be handsome, but this time he has completely changed into a greasy middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and a listless spirit.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is his figure. His beer belly is so real.

Luo Chen was shocked when he saw this, because he clearly remembered what the figure of Helian Bei was like when he sat next to him during the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.

So he gained weight on purpose to film this movie, and then lost weight again in a short period of time.

This perseverance alone makes Luo Chen feel ashamed of himself.

He even felt that if it were him, it would be difficult to convince himself to make such a pose.

Helian Bei's fans in the cinema were in a stable mood. To them, they had seen Helian Bei in many handsome looks, and this look was very special.

Helian Bei's acting skills made his image completely established.

Soon, Ning Mang forgot his identity as an actor and believed that he was just an ordinary man who sold sex products and had an unhappy married life.

At first Ning Mang thought it was a comedy, and he laughed at several parts.

Until the plot takes a sharp turn and finally reaches its most realistic part.

"Fake medicine?"

Su Yin had almost the same question in her mind as the male protagonist.

Given her background, she had never imagined that there would be such a thing as fake medicine in this world.

Wang Xingrui felt very uncomfortable watching this. She turned her head away and was a little afraid to watch the next part of the movie.

She thought, what would she do if someone around her got this disease and she hadn't joined Moonlight Girl?

Little did she know, she could totally relate to the characters in the movie.

As the plot deepens, the comedy layer on the outside is completely torn off.

Yes, it does have a lot of funny moments to dilute the heavy subject matter.

Even in the middle of the plot, Ning Mang thought that the male protagonist and his group of capable people were about to usher in their new life.

As more money is made, patients can buy cheaper medicines to survive.

However, Ning Mang discovered that this peace was only temporary.

"Why?" Tang Yue couldn't help but speak, even though she knew she shouldn't speak out in a movie theater. "Did they do something wrong? Why were they arrested? These pharmaceutical companies are too evil!"

Ning Mang sighed. He had a friend whose family was in this business, so he was relatively familiar with these pharmaceutical companies.

Indeed, from their perspective, the miracle drugs developed at a cost of billions need to be recovered.

If everyone buys fake drugs, then these pharmaceutical companies will not have enough funds to develop more drugs.

However, patients do not see the problem from this perspective.

"It's too difficult," Ning Mang said with tears in his eyes: "Old Zhou, you are too cruel. Why did you write this kind of plot? It's too cruel!"

However, Ning Mang did not expect that the knife had just begun.

The protagonist did not promote personal heroism like those superheroes. He was a coward.

At a party, he told his friends who were both patients and colleagues about his decision to withdraw.

In that scene, what caught Ning Mang's attention was Huangmao, played by Xiao Li.

He is a man of few words, hiding all his emotions in his facial expressions and every movement.

Even in front of movie stars like Qiao Zishan and Helian Bei, she didn't feel awkward at all.

The glass played by Jiang Yang also broke through his previous image. When he put on the mask again tremblingly, Yue Shao and the other three in the cinema all burst into tears.

The next time the hero saw Glasses was at his funeral.

Ling Hu always thought that he was a man and it was impossible for him to cry while watching a movie, but now he couldn't help it.

This is a turning point, which pushes the male protagonist to once again embark on the path of selling fake medicine.

This time, he was not doing it to make money, but to help more patients like Yan Jing who could not afford medicine.

"Medicine that sells for 5,000 or 10,000 yuan outside, he only sells for 500 yuan."

Through word of mouth, more and more people came here to buy medicine in groups where patients gathered together for warmth.

At this time, in movie theaters across the country showing "Dying to Survive", the sound of audiences sobbing could be heard one after another.

However, he was still caught.

When facing the police, another businessman selling fake medicine said something that made Ning Mang feel very uncomfortable:

[There is only one disease in this world, and that is poverty.]

Huangmao’s car accident, the male protagonist going to jail, every climax makes the audience’s hearts twisted tightly.

Fortunately, Chang Tiesheng still gave a good ending. The patients jointly petitioned and the male protagonist was not sentenced to a heavy sentence.

In the end, more and more special-effect drugs are included in medical insurance, which also makes people see the fact that my country's medical industry is getting better and better.

After watching the movie, Ning Mang finally understood why Zhou Yiyang was so confident that this movie could make a comeback thanks to its reputation.
