"The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" is another very "Dapeng" work, very strange, it seems that Dapeng now occupies the ecological niche of "little people's middle-aged counterattack", and I have the impression that this position in the past is not, at least not just him.
The same is true of this year's "Keep You Safe", and one thing in common is that whenever a middle-aged character wants to counterattack, there is always a key setting that "the relationship between husband and wife is not harmonious", which we have seen in many movies such as "Keep You Safe".
For such a thing as "Dachang political science", after so many years of big waves and sands, especially when the period of high-speed surge has passed and the growth is slowing down, it is supposed that all kinds of problems will be exposed.
And the "coincidence" and "misunderstanding" in this film are not new techniques in the drama, and Gogol's "The Minister" has been reused many times after it. In this case, what can be new about "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop"?
If it is regarded as a brainless cool drama, it is also qualified, but the "trapping" of Chinese commercial films lies in the fact that there must be something to chew on or express in it, which must be close to reality and not too profound, so Chinese-style commercial films are indeed not so easy to shoot.
"The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" uses some brains in this regard, such as various depictions of the ecology of Dachang, and adds a variety of personalities to it, such as Li Naiwen, Sun Yizhou, and Wang Xun represent several "corrupt" personalities of different natures, while Bai Ke, Dapeng, and Zhuang Dafei represent other kinds of "worker" personalities.
When these types of people are bruised and swollen in the workplace environment through various bridges, and then let the chairman, an uninformed person, "make the final decision", through an annual meeting, let everyone get emotional catharsis, but also get the sublimation of practical significance, this approach can be described as quite textbook.
But we can't help but ask, is this solution really empathetic?In the film, the chairman of the board of directors is also the factory where Dapeng is located, so after learning the truth, he "dealt with it decisively" and "killed decisively". But we can't help but use, for their hometown, the birthplace of their career, the chairman really hasn't paid attention to it for so many years, and has been completely blinded by a group of middle-level managersThese are questionable.
However, for an entertainment film, it can't be too serious. What is certain is that the "Dachang political science" shown in this film can neither be used as a workplace password for the counterattack of migrant workers, nor can it be used as a negative teaching material to eliminate the accumulated evils, but can only be used as another bowl of chicken soup instant noodles that provide emotional value. The only thing that can be called a "breakthrough" in this film in my opinion is that the character played by Zhuang Dafei, after "seeing through" everything, chooses to chase her dream and become a musician (which is also her job).
This seems to provide one of the few "retreats" for young people in today's situation, but we know that the cost of this path is not low, and the success rate does not even reach the "volume" of the workplace (is it reminiscent of Vaina?).But when the two paths are mutually exclusive, it seems that we can see a glimmer of possibility of breaking through the "political science of the big factory", although it is only a loss.
Therefore, "the annual meeting cannot be stopped", and the medicine cannot be stopped.
