      Only "routines" can save Chinese movies

      Although many movies have used the slogan "zero negative review" in the marketing process, I believe that every industry worker knows that there has been no "zero negative review" work since the birth of the movie. The same is true for "The God of Medicine". Despite such an unprecedented achievement, the negative reviews still surfaced sporadically.

      The negative reviews of "Yao Shen" are almost concentrated on two points (and both come from the industry and the elite). The first is the...

      Don't you think there's something wrong with the values ​​of this movie?

      As a domestic film, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has received rare praise in the past ten years. People are moved by the film's accusation of high drug prices, and the time, place, characters, and events are all real, which is commendable. In the words of film critic Yang Shiyang, this film has restored the dignity of Chinese realist films. .

      However, in my opinion, the film has a problem with values. Actor Li Naiwen portrayed the role of a medical representative in the film....

      generally

      The characters to the plot are a bit lackluster, the sensational is very cheap, and finally became the Indian version of "The Days Leaving Lei Feng". We Chinese people are too easy to be moved, and a little bit of reality is reflected, and tears fill our eyes. It can be seen that the air of our life is How wicked and thin. And how low our demands on entertainment films are. Its commercial success is not due to the appropriate use of story, characters, or genre elements, but because it...

      What are the plots of "I'm not the God of Medicine" that poke your tears?

      What touched my tears the most was the paragraph when the old grandmother was arrested by Yiwei Wei and begged Yiwei not to pursue Indian medicine, the trembling voice, the swirling tears, and the sincere confession: that is not fake medicine, that is life-saving. Medicine!

      Also, Huang Mao saw that the police had found the port loading and unloading yard, and ran back in a hurry. He changed his words when he said it, forced a smile, and secretly drove away by himself. As for later, he...

      Value greater than 50 Red Sea

      The achievement of Chinese films has opened up a new path for Chinese commercial films. Value greater than 50 Red Sea.

      In the face of this magical land with the fastest development speed, the most changes, the obvious regional differences and the stratum differentiation in the world. Film and television creators are guarding a golden mountain, but they are scouring for garbage and selling for money. These rubbish are outdated Hollywood, crappy web articles, street literature, and...

      Several excessive emotional renderings and the "desire to survive" shown in the final subtitles and the dialogue in the car do not hinder the excellence of this movie. If you want to put it in the evaluation of a domestic movie in Yishui, you can get full stars just from the...

      "Dallas" mixed with "Schindler", a rare masterpiece of realism in China, it is commendable to speak for the disadvantaged. The standard of the play is simple, with a certain degree of criticality, and at the same time, it also finds the scale of the scale, and conveys the goodness of human nature between the conflict between ethics and social system, which is not only beneficial to the film industry, but also has the value of social care. The current environment is too This work is missing....

      Sickness is a sin that God cannot forgive; poverty is a disease that cannot be cured by medicine. Sihui put on the clothes she took off one by one, Huangmao cut off the long hair inch by inch, Cheng Yong filled the gap, and benefited from taking off the mask. The law and the love will go to the top, the life and the money will go to the top, the red potion of disaster will be smeared on the top of the head, and the lucky savior will descend to the world. Many people spend their whole lives...
