There is no big-name star such as Tony Leung and Andy Lau in "Goldfinger", nor is there the snowy resort gimmick of "Twinkle Twinkle Star".
"The Annual Party Can't Stop" was able to become a hit during the New Year's Eve period, not only because of its comedy.
Before the movie trailer came out, many people were not optimistic about the movie because the workplace topic was not fresh enough.
Even if it stars Dapeng and Baike, it has no unique gimmicks and it is difficult to schedule the film. It is far inferior to "Twinkle Twinkle Star".
But whether a movie is good or not is not just based on the trailer. If you don’t go into the cinema, you will never know that the movie is 100 times better than the trailer.
PUA in the workplace, forming cliques in meetings, forming cliques among related households for personal gain, all kinds of workplace chaos are clearly satirized in the movie.
Douban scored 8.0, and the score continues to rise, which is unusual in Chinese film history.
This is also the only movie that can express the voices of beaten workers on the big screen.
"The Annual Party Can't Stop" won the New Year's Eve movie single-day grand slam on the 4th day after its release.
Whether it is single-day box office, average attendance or number of moviegoers, it has surpassed "Twinkle Twinkle Star" and aspired to the championship.
is a comedy that satirizes the chaos in the workplace. The movie's plot is too dense, with an average of two sentences for one laugh. It is recommended that workers in the workplace must watch it.
The reason why the movie can make people empathize is mainly because the plot is too realistic and magnifies the daily life of migrant workers.
Going to work is a part of life. Movies only purify this part and allow us to see the details of life clearly. The movie
mainly tells the story of Hu Jianlin, a senior fitter who has been working for 20 years. Because he does not understand the world, he has been stuck in the same place and his wife and children have been separated.
was later transferred to the head office by accident. Later, he was misunderstood as the illegitimate son of the chairman and was promoted to the leadership with an annual salary of one million.
Ma Jie, a social beast in the workplace played by Bai Ke, is a true portrayal of us ordinary people. He is submissive and full of class spirit for a low-paying job.
The workday that starts by insulting the boss has become a comedy stage. Workplace life is ridiculous and funny. Some people are having fun while others are looking in the mirror.
The burden was shaken, and the audience burst into laughter. Only after laughing did they realize that the clown was actually me.
Jia Zhangke once said that just because the entire era is running forward, we cannot ignore those who have been knocked down.
Hu Jianlin was the one who was knocked down. In the workplace, employees like him are definitely the first to be eliminated.
Just like the classic line in the movie: "As the train of the times passes, there are always people under the car to increase the friction."
He was promoted from a factory worker to a senior management by accident. Such a thing can only happen in movies occur. Although the
movie is exaggerated and contains artistic elements, through Hu Jianlin's promotion, the audience can see the hypocrisy in the workplace.
The real workplace is just like in the movies. There are endless meetings every day. Workers have to prepare various materials and take meeting minutes.
seems to be very busy every day, but apart from meetings, he doesn’t seem to have done anything practical.
Employees must learn to flatter others, management must learn to flatter others, and leaders must learn to be ambiguous when giving orders.
Nonsense literature is vividly shown in the movie. This is the first skill that leaders must learn to deal with employees.
While shouting about cutting expenses and laying off employees, while holding a lavish annual meeting worth RMB 60 million, the company's problems are always superficial.
cannot solve the problem, but solves the person who raised the problem. Human nature, temptation, confusion, and internal friction. In reality, the fig leaf of peace disguised by large companies was torn off by the movie.
Those who did practical things for the sake of the company were fired, and those who flattered and bribed for promotions and salary increases. The hardships of being a worker are really easy to sympathize with.
At the end of the story, the performance of the Pan Mazhuang group at the annual meeting can be called the highlight of the entire movie. The lyrics of
are heart-breaking and to the point. People who have not been tempered for ten years in the workplace will never be able to write such a realistic song.
Who is not smiling on the surface, but bleeding on the inside? What they sing is our life, and what we are laughing at is actually ourselves.
The whole story has a compact plot, clear logic, and lots of laughs. It is not funny just for the sake of being funny.
Almost every sentence will make many workers cry. This is the advanced part of the movie.
In addition to the attractive plot, the addition of comedians also adds a lot to the movie.
In addition to Dapeng and Baike, the "two giants" of early online drama comedies, the film also invited many new actors.
is especially interested in new actors who have shown their talents in various comedy forms such as stand-up comedy, comics, and sitcoms.
For example, sketch actor Wang Hao, comic group Carnivore, talk show actors Rock, Tong Monan, etc.
Many of them are filming for the first time. The director chose them because they know more about workplace culture.
The jokes of workplace life are also the first material for most of them to step onto the stage. Their joining with their own comedy effects will undoubtedly add to the movie.
"The Annual Party Can't Stop" is definitely the best comedy in 2023. It is a dark horse and has five-star reviews. You must watch it.
