Bittersweet film is medicine for the soul
《我不是藥神》口碑炸裂
Ning Hao and Xu Zheng have come together again to produce a new film, Dying to Survive, as they return to the summer movie season after 12 years.
寧浩和徐崢再次攜手打造了一部新電影——《我不是藥神》——這也是兩人時隔12年后再度回歸暑期檔電影。
This time, director Wen Muye joins the team after Ning recognized his talent for portraying realistic themes. It was Ning who handed Wen the script and asked Xu to act in the leading role.
這一次，導演文牧野加入了他們的團隊。此前，寧浩認識到他在展現現實主義題材方面的才華，也正是寧浩將電影劇本交給了文牧野，并邀請徐崢出演主角。
Wen rose to prominence in 2013 for directing the award-winning short film Battle at the First International Film Festival in Xining, Qinghai province. Dying to Survive is his first feature-length movie and it took him three years to adapt the script from an original piece of writing.
文牧野因導演了短片《BATTLE》，在2013年青海西寧首屆國際電影節獲獎而嶄露頭角。《我不是藥神》是其執導的首部長篇電影，他耗費了三年時間才將原稿改編成電影劇本。
The film is about Cheng Yong, played by Xu, a pharmaceutical salesman who becomes a hero by helping people get cheaper cancer medicine.
影片講述了保健品商販程勇（徐崢飾）幫助人們買到更便宜的抗癌藥物，成為英雄的故事。
The 117-minute film combines both laughter and tears, showing the humanity of one man up against the reality of society.
在這部117分鐘的電影中，既有笑聲，又有淚水，展現了個人面對社會現實的人性一面。
"It's touching because it focuses on the better side of people, and you can see how society changes, thanks to just one small act of humanity," said Xu at the film's premiere at Tsinghua University in Beijing on July 2, where it received a long round of applause after the screening.
“透過人性當中小小的善意光芒，這種慈悲心足以感動所有人。而且透過他的故事，我們可以看到整個時代和國家的發展，”7月2日，徐崢在北京清華大學的電影首映禮上如此說道，影片放映過后，現場的掌聲久久未能平息。
The movie is based on a true story－Lu Yong, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2002, helped more than 1,000 patients get cheaper, unapproved medicine from India.
這部電影是根據一個真實故事改編而來的——2002年，陸勇被查出患有白血病，之后他幫助1000多名病友從印度購買便宜的違禁藥。
Lu was invited to the movie's premiere and, after he watched the whole film, Lu said it shows what happens when people can't afford the high price of imported drugs. He agreed with the message at the end of the movie that the situation was improving thanks to the recent efforts of government.
陸勇受邀來到了電影首映禮，看完電影后他表示，影片展現了人們買不起高昂進口藥的生存狀態。他同意影片結尾所傳達的信息：由于政府近年來的不懈努力，這種狀況正在不斷改善。
Actor Huang Xiaoming was also invited to the premiere, and he thought both the acting and the direction were fantastic. "Even though I'm not in the movie, as a filmmaker, I feel proud to watch this piece," he says.
演員黃曉明也受邀來到了首映禮現場，他認為影片的表演和導演都相當精彩。“作為電影人，即使沒有參與到電影當中，我都覺得特別驕傲，”他說道。
Xu says Wen was born to be a director and he enjoyed the 88-day shoot. "It was like going back to the time when I started out on my acting journey, when I only focused on how to be a better actor."
徐崢表示，文牧野生來就是當導演的料兒，他也十分享受那88天的電影拍攝過程。“就像是回到了剛出道的時候，那時我只關注如何成為一名更好的演員。”
Wang Chuanjun plays Lyu Shouyi in the film, a character who has leukemia and asks Cheng to start smuggling the medicine from India. His death in the film provides the turning point for Cheng to become a hero.
王傳君在影片中飾演呂受益，一位請求程勇從印度走私藥物的白血病患者。電影中，他的離世是程勇成為英雄的轉折點。
Wang lost 10 kilograms to play the role and stayed with leukemia patients to observe their daily life. He even kept awake for two whole days to get the right sense for shooting his death scene.
王傳君為出演該角色減重10公斤，并和白血病患者住在一起，觀察他們的日常生活。他甚至整整兩天沒有合眼，就為了找到拍攝死亡場景的合適狀態。
Starting with a limited release on June 30, Dying to Survive has so far grossed 150 million yuan ($22.6 million) for its first two days and achieved a rating of 9.5 out of 10 on online ticketing platform Tao Piaopiao.
從6月30日點映開始，《我不是藥神》在短短兩天內便收獲了1.5億元（約2260萬美元）的票房，并在線上購票平臺淘票票上獲得了9.5分（滿分10分）的高分。
