New Year's Day has passed a few days ago, and this result is quite surprising. Because there are quite a few movies released, the one with the strongest lineup in the early stage is obviously "Goldfinger". After all, Andy Lau and Tony Leung reunited 20 years later, and the one with the best marketing is "Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle The comedy "The Annual Party Can't Stop" is making a comeback.
The first half of this movie is a top-notch workplace deconstruction comedy until the roll call. In the second half, it turns sharply into a fantasy drama. In the end, it relies on the chairman to make a comeback. In essence, it is still the same model that relies on Mr. Qingtian. The opportunity for the protagonist's awakening is not the discovery of conscience after layoffs, but the stress reaction after 95% of layoffs were cut to the standard field, and his "basic base" and social interests were affected.
If the protagonist is not from a standard field, the last 5% of the indicators will only be signed in a daze, and then continue to be assimilated in the workplace. In the end, what the movie wants to express is that it is not against "layoffs" but against "corruption and crime". It deconstructs the employees in the workplace who receive rewards such as promotion and full-time promotion in the workplace. It cannot be said whether it is a family fun or the biggest irony of the whole film.
But it is already one of the best Chinese comedies in recent years.
The audience laughed, but the workers cried? How can this dark horse break out of the siege
I have never worked in such a large company, nor have I been exposed to society for a long time, so I don’t have a deep understanding of the pain points of this subject, and I have no feeling for the theme of this movie. Even if you can get a little laugh out of the talk show actors re-employing, it's actually quite good to treat this movie as a bland comedy.
's laughter is very natural and comes naturally. There are not too many funny ways to tickle people. As someone who doesn't work all year round, I can only comment on it so much. But I would like to ask, everyone who works, are there really many stories of horse-catching in the workplace? Are there really many leaders who talk nonsense? Are there really all kinds of cute, hateful, pitiful, or pathetic colleagues? Are there really a lot of random things that happen that are played tricks on by fate? Is there really any bottomless intrigue? Are there really brothers and sisters who can survive?
In the absurdity, a worker accidentally becomes a high-level leader. He has just entered the model house where the company lives in a big city, which shows that his position is also the same. When he sits happily on the sofa, behind him, the peak of his life, the word "pin" flashes. It shows that he has not truly reached the peak of his life. When he really becomes the kind of leader who fishes in troubled waters, the peak of his life is no longer shining, and he himself is not the happy self he was before.
arranged two good hoomis, one was Majek, the other was rebellious, the other had been in the workplace for many years and acted tactfully and would not let anyone know if he had complaints, and the one who had just joined the company and worked hard but still hadn't become a regular employee, said what he wanted to say, and they initially They were friends and a team of three. Until he worked his way up step by step and became a celebrity in the company, the people around him were also replaced. After all, his original wish was to perform at the annual meeting and have fun.
I first read the reviews and watched it with my parents who didn’t understand my complaints about work. With the general purpose of conveying the current situation of migrant workers to my parents, I still think this movie is good to watch.
The content of the video is very straightforward, and it is very suitable for watching by the older generation who do not understand the current situation of the workplace. The song and dance at the end seems to break the fourth wall and roar at your watching companions who don't understand you, making up for the lack of drama and "too idealism" in the second half.
All my evaluations are not based on a simple movie viewer. I have a strong purpose. After all, the movie itself also has a meaning beyond the movie, that is, it finally breaks away from the video platform and puts all issues on the table. Is there a bigger table than a big screen?
feels that those who forcefully raise values are really inexperienced. When the company faces a cash flow crisis, the company will discuss plans within the company. One is to lay off employees and the other is to reduce expenses. It is obvious that the chairman wants to reduce expenses. Once the reduction is made, they will go to the meeting The interests of all the executives will be harmed, so most people agree to layoffs.Chairman
has no choice. After all, the system is there. The starting point of the story itself is that there are forces taking advantage of the opportunity to compete. When Mr. Xu's faction fell, he took advantage of the situation and reduced his faction, which naturally freed up some positions. It is completely beneficial to the chairman to make things big at the end, and it is common sense to take the last position for promotion.
On the surface, the movie only tells everyone what a bad leader should do. In fact, the chairman is the best at grasping human nature, because in the eyes of everyone, he is a model good leader, and all the old employees are devoted to him, so he can From a factory director to a group chairman.
He accomplished all the goals, completed layoffs and retained his confidants, eradicated dissidents and consolidated power, informed the company of the difficulties, and led employees, Lao Hu, to make a commitment to voluntarily reduce wages and increase production, and promoted some employees Let the remaining employees see hope for the future. The fired person will bear all the infamy and he will be thanked by everyone.
At least in solving these problems, the interests of the chairman and ordinary employees are close. These chaos are mainly caused by senior executives and middle-level leaders. The chairman does not need to deal with these things. After all, he is the biggest and has all the responsibilities. It's not his responsibility, but in the end he still has to bear it.
The front is funny, but the back is "making dumplings"? Is "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" a good movie?
When I watched this movie, it reminded me of a very popular thing some time ago, which was a few corporate WeChat group chats in which the protagonist scolded two supervisors. Colleagues from several departments threatened the company with collective resignations. The news was very popular at the time, but in the end I found out that it was made up, and I forged a screenshot of the chat. Then think carefully about where in reality the kind of people who just do it for you come from. Colleagues who apply for resignation.
This movie is exactly like that. In the end, the plot at the end is quite real but not that real. Objectively speaking, Dapeng's movies are always easy to suddenly move from realism to idealism, similar to the original "Sewing Machine Band". The first half almost vividly reflects the social chaos. The second half doesn't know where to start. It suddenly educates the audience. I can't say it's unfinished, but it feels a bit sluggish.
A comedy can't give you a complicated ending. This one The ending looks like a happy ending but is actually very darkly humorous.
Of course, if you insist on analyzing this movie, there are indeed many things worth thinking about, which is why it is a good movie. For example, the clearest and clearest thing in this film is that the heroine chose to resign after getting the coveted opportunity to become a full-time employee, because she knew that if it were not for Hu Hema, she would not be able to be Hu Hema.
For example, although Hu Jianlin finally investigated and reported He seemed very righteous and angry, but if you think about it carefully, he was only so indignant when it came to his own factory. Aren't those people who were laid off earlier unjustly punished? Moreover, at the end of the annual meeting, the two people played by Tong Monan and Sun Yizhou said The sentence "You stand on the right side this time." is the finishing touch, showing that the liveliness and justice are only temporary appearances, and the underlying decay has not changed. Sure enough, the essence of comedy is tragedy.
In the end, I had no intention of going. After watching it, I no longer have much confidence in domestic comedies (I thought they were awkward or vulgar jokes, hot search memes, etc.), I had a negative impression of Dapeng, and I was familiar with talk show actors but later I had a negative impression.
But the movie is indeed okay, and it hits the mark. Absurd and reasonable, very funny and very funny, but also very sad. Some people watch the movie, and some look in the mirror. There must be something unreasonable in the movie, but combined with the New Oriental thing, it is both realistic and absurd.
