Zhou Xingxing was still discussing with Wang Jiawei. After Awu practiced boxing for two years, he found out that (a generation of grandmasters) did not have the weight to him, and whether he would hit people.

Under the 100 Years Pictures Building, Wu Jingjiu, Jin Chengwu, Chen Xiaochun, Xie Tianhua and others got out of different cars one after another and greeted each other with a smile.

"Brother Nan, Brother Nan, you are really popular recently. You have gone from being unknown to being a big brother to countless people in just two weeks."

"Pheasant, you're not bad either, but don't talk about the opportunity, just be civilized!"

"You also came here after being paged by Director Liu? Are we Young and Dangerous going to make a sequel?"

…………

The few people chatted with each other and quickly became familiar with each other. They only spent more than two weeks filming the performance on the set. After filming the project, everyone from the director to the screenwriter felt that it was a low-cost production and a movie that Liu Weiqiang had practiced.

, not worthy of attention...

Not much was done to promote the movie, just a few posters and trailers, and interviews were not included in any ATV programs to promote the movie.

So after filming Young and Dangerous two years ago, everyone from Jin Chengwu to Wu Jing to Chen Xiaochun, Xie Tianhua, Lin Xiaofeng, etc. didn't have many gatherings... everyone was busy celebrating the New Year.

Now being summoned by the director to come to 100 Years Pictures? A sequel is coming?

The mood of a group of people was super happy and exciting. Before Young and Dangerous broke out at the box office, and before the project was taken seriously, even though many people thought it was a low-budget bad film, for a few of them, it was an official performance opportunity.

What a rare film experience for the protagonist and his supporting cast.

After chatting enthusiastically for a while, when the crowd walked into the building, Wu Jingcai scratched his head and said, "I am the third male lead. Director Wang also gave me a red envelope of one million Hong Kong dollars. It seems that I have really made a fortune. How much did you take, Wu?"

,Xiaochun, how much did you take?"

Before Jin Chengwu could respond, Chen Xiaochun exploded, "What the hell, you want one million? I only have three hundred thousand, Ah Jing, you want to treat me."

Xie Tianhua was even more envious, "Not only did you get more red envelopes than me, but my character also died. I shouldn't have anything to do with the sequel, right? You guys have to treat me."

Chao Pi, played by Xie Tianhua, was involved in Brother Hao Nan's battle in which Haojiang was attacked and ambushed.

In this version, both Wu Jing and A Wu are super good at fighting, and their movements are beautiful and gorgeous. They can't stand up to the Haojiang club and they don't follow martial arts ethics to fight with black guns.

In this dimension, Xie Tianhua has not formed a group with Chen Xiaochun, but he is also a senior dancer and often dances with big stars in their concerts. He and Achun were a professional before they participated in The Voice of Asia.

That’s why I was selected into the Young and Dangerous project by accident.

It really depends on your luck to often perform with big stars, be recognized by others, and occasionally get a good project to help you.

Wu Jing laughed and said, "It's okay. The same face appears two or three times in a series of movies with different identities. It's a very common operation. Ah Hua, you definitely still have a chance."

"I'm curious about how the second part will be filmed. In the first part, Achun's character ran away and turned around and became the big brother when he came back, helping Chen Haonan kill Liangkun. I feel that in the second part, Achun must be explained.

Why do you want to rise in Ben Province?"

Chen Xiaochun was overjoyed, "If you say that, I would be so happy."

A group of people were chatting and laughing. When they got into the elevator and reached the floor that Liu Weiqiang had made an appointment with them on the phone or bb machine, they saw Aqiang chatting with Wen Juan in the corridor.

When Director Liu saw this group of people, he was also very energetic, with a look of excitement on his face, "Are you all here? Just come. Wen Juan and I have almost completed the setting and filling of the script for the second part."

"Today we will go over the script and make a rough shooting plan. When we are almost done, we will start shooting."

Jin Chengwu and others nodded excitedly.

Wu Jing even nodded and said, "Director Liu, will our movies teach bad things to children? Although there were many gangster and police movies in the past, but how can I put it, if they were not so popular, the guidance would not be so strong.

"

"Our (Young and Dangerous) series is so popular that when I go out on the street, so many little kids call me second brother and want to fool with me. It makes me numb..."

He plays the role of Da Tian Er, and he can fight more than Kim Sung Oh in the movie.

It can be said that Chen Haonan took over as the eldest brother, and half of the empire he conquered with the help of Da Tian Er. He has a lovable personality and is naturally popular with the audience.

Jin Chengwu also nodded with emotion, "Yes, me too. There are too many brats who want to hang out with me when I go out."

Liu Weiqiang then took it seriously and said, "This issue deserves serious consideration, but it's not a big deal. As long as your endings are written more miserable than the other, it should be able to have a certain persuasive effect."

Ah Qiang is also quite confused about this issue. He is just making a gangster gangster movie. Even if we don’t talk about Zhao Donghuai’s (New World) trilogy, there are also Jianghu love two-parter, Lei Luo, Lame Hao, etc., the Four Detectives

There are also long ones.

When it comes to describing modern societies, there is also "Underworld", not to mention Andy Lau's "Heavenly Love" ("Carmen"), etc., and Chow Yun-fat's "A Better Tomorrow" series.

I have never seen a movie before that attracted the audience to follow Afa, Ahua, Wan Ziliang and others to join the club. At most, the personal endorsement products are very popular.

Wen Juan also chimed in, "Maybe it's because our movies are so popular and well-known that they attract the kids to imitate and follow suit. It seems like you, the big brothers, will have to die one after another in the movies."

Wu Jingze scratched his head and said, "How he died is not a big question. What I am curious about is that the version sent to Malaysia, Chen Haonan, was an undercover police officer, so how can we film the second part?"

Wen Juan smiled and touched his mustache, "It's easy to say that Jiang Tiansheng, the leader of Hongxing, has not died yet. Of course Anan will continue to be an undercover agent. Even if Jiang Tiansheng is written to death, isn't there still Jiang Tianyang? There are characters in comics.

"

Wu Jing's eyes lit up, "I think if we want to eliminate the negative impact of the movie, then after the movie is downloaded in theaters, when we make a VCD disc, we can also make a 30 to 40 percent version of Brother Nan as an undercover and stream it to the mainland.

The video tape market is much easier to deal with."

Liu Weiqiang looked at A Jing in surprise, thoughtfully.

Is this indeed a good idea?? Anyway, the movie has not been released in the Mainland. After the video tapes are introduced into the Mainland, half of the undercover version will be made directly??

In "Nothing, You Haven't Seen You" (New World 1), Li Zicheng, played by Chow Yun-fat, is an undercover police officer who becomes the chairman of the New World Group. In the second film, Liu Jianming, an undercover society agent played by Chow Yun-fat, becomes a gangster in the police force.

manage!

So what if Chen Haonan went undercover and became the leader of Causeway Bay? It would be fine even if he went undercover and became the leader of Hongxing.

The next moment, Aqiang smiled and clapped his hands, "Okay, we'll talk about other things later. Today's focus is on the sequel. Today is February 12th. Let's try to finish filming and release it in early March."

Wu Jing, "..."

Jin Chengwu, "..."

Chen Xiaochun, "..."

Wang Jing’s fast-shooting style is well known throughout Hong Kong, but you, Director Liu, are not going to compete with Director Wang for this title, are you? The first part was shot very quickly after more than two weeks, but the second part is still so fast?

………………

February 13th.

At the ATV headquarters office, Warner's green-haired Ross was introduced to the door and greeted him with flattering words. After the courtesy period, Ross couldn't help but sigh, "Sheng Zhao, this is crazy."

"I used to think that capital had a bottom line, but I didn't expect that their bottom line is getting worse every time!"

"Did you know? Since the wave of blockades of Chinese herbal medicines years ago, the price of insulin in our country has increased. In a short period of time, a 10 ml bottle of insulin specially designed for patients with type 1 diabetes has increased from more than 20 US dollars. The price of the knife has increased to more than 50 US dollars.”

"Even test strips that cost less than a dime cost more than 30 US dollars per box."

"This is so mean."

"I feel that smuggling and smuggling insulin from other countries will become a business in the future."

Ross came here this time to talk about the co-production (New York Buyers Club) between Warner and Zhao Pictures. After all, everyone has only set the tone for this movie.

The specific scripts are still being written.

Ross also didn’t expect that the insulin battlefield would change so quickly after just one Chinese New Year in the lunar calendar.

Zhao Donghuai said in astonishment, "This is really a bit outrageous..."

Is it outrageous? Of course it’s not outrageous. It’s based on basic principles. The original track was from 2001 to 2016. In more than ten years, a bottle of 10 ml insulin for Type 1 patients increased from $35 to $275.

You must know that insulin was discovered by a medical scientist in Massachusetts in 1923, and the insulin patent was sold to a university for one dollar.

A hundred years later, in order to maintain and further dig into the gold mine, Eli Lilly and others did not hesitate.

That is still protected by law, because North America passed a bill under the lobbying of the pharmaceutical giant's money game. As long as the drug formula is changed, even if it is slightly different, you do not need to prove that it will be more effective. The patent term can be extended.

Then after a few years, I changed the color of the cap of the insulin bottle, and next time I changed the packaging of the bottle, such as a paper box into a plastic box... The patent period was extended, and it will continue to be extended.

Following Zhao Donghuai's words, Ross blinked, "Zhao Sheng, how should we shoot our movie? How should we set the tone of the script?"

"As far as I know, Mr. Gu from Baicaotang is the only one who has therapeutic effects. A single individual cannot cure a huge patient group with a universal prescription. Is that what it looks like?"

"He is so exhausted that he can't treat many patients. On the contrary, Eli Lilly and the others suddenly raised their prices like this. Faced with China's low insulin prices, it's very conflicting and dramatic..."

Zhao Donghuai thought for a while and said to Azhen, "Can you please call and ask about the price of 10 ml insulin in the Mainland?"

A-Zhen worked quickly, and when she put down the phone after the exchange, she exclaimed, "It's outrageous. 10 ml of insulin in the Mainland is only two or three yuan, or six or seven yuan, which is the price difference of a few movie tickets."

"No, Ross, you said before that the price was more than 20 US dollars a piece before the price increase??"

Azhen's eyes widened, with a shock she had never seen in a long time. Before the price increase, it was 195 Hong Kong dollars at 25 US dollars. Now it has increased to more than 50 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 400 Hong Kong dollars for a 10ml insulin??

The cheapest ones in the Mainland are two or three yuan each? The more expensive ones are only six or seven yuan.

Ross nodded, "Generally, a 10 ml bottle of insulin contains 400 units. When the patient takes the medicine, the daily injection is calculated based on weight multiplied by 0.4 or 0.5."

"Assuming that a 60-kg patient takes 30 units per day multiplied by 0.5, 10 ml of 400 units of insulin will be used for more than ten days, and two or three pills will be consumed every month."

"We use more test strips to measure blood sugar."

Qiu Shuzhen thought for a while, "Three tubes a month only cost more than 150 US dollars? Including dozens of test strips, it costs more than 200 US dollars. It is still a soft knife to cut flesh. Wouldn't it be cheaper if you have medical insurance?"

Ross smiled bitterly, "Many times when patients go to buy medicines with their medical insurance, many pharmacies will tell them that these are over-the-counter drugs and cannot be covered by medical insurance because the color of the bottle may have changed."

"Sheng Zhao, the script? Do you want to change it because of the changes in reality? I heard that the three giants also sponsored several food programs to promote the temptation of various delicacies and sweets to the people."
