"The annual meeting can't be stopped!is definitely the most original and "funny" Chinese comedy I have seen in recent years. The reason why the double quotation marks are funny is because the comedy of the movie is very unique - it is not the traditional kind of babbling and pretending to be crazy and stupid, but it is doing a serious satire, and then coldly makes a few jokes about the workplace in the absurd plot. At the end, the chairman of the board of directors served as the master of Qingtian to rehabilitate the employees, but what can you do if you think about it?In the context of this era of collective layoffs, I used a movie to serve as a substitute for the workers in the form of an annual meeting, venting my dissatisfaction, and after the New Year's Day holiday, I still have to return to the company to pretend to be my grandson.
The film tells the story of Hu Jianlin, a fitter, who was transferred to the group headquarters to become a gold collar by mistake, exposed the corrupt executives of the factory at the group's annual meeting, and finally kept the factory. Hu Jianlin, a fitter, was transferred to the headquarters by mistake when the group laid off employees, and Ma Jie, the personnel manager who was involved in the "wrong transfer" incident, was forced to hide it in order to protect his job. From "factory" to "big factory", from "blue collar" to "gold collar", Hu Jianlin is full of jokes because he is incompatible with the environment of big factories, and he is also like a "workplace demon mirror" to reflect the appearance of all beings in the workplace.
The laughter in the first hour of the film is very local, satirizing the 35-year-old layoff, satirizing 996, satirizing Internet slang, and satirizing the world as a collective cover-up and stealing the bell. Those workplace standing culture hidden in the eyes, tone and pauses can only be understood and indescribable, and we can only say that we understand it too well, every sycophancy is a word in the word, and every flattery is a loyalty test. The knowing smile when watching the movie is the tears that the migrant workers once swallowed. Although the back is oblique to the ideal fairy tale, and even goes to the annual meeting to expose the shady scenes, it is not too out of place due to the playful and absurd style of the whole film. If the scenes of the reasoning speech are deleted and more dramatized, or treated with better drama like the annual meeting speech written by Hunan Qifa Culture, then the rhythm of the movie will not slow down in the second half, and the logic can be more self-consistent.
In fact, the whole film is a story about the tide of layoffs, and the sense of loss and powerlessness that has been delayed for 20 years is packaged as a joke, which appropriately bridges the present and is shrouded in the shadow of the giant screen light sign of "The Peak of Life". A big dream that has been in place for twenty years, the beginning and the end are a dead end with no hope for the future. History falls apart, and then you take the loud echoes as rhythm, sing joyful songs, do funny dances, close your eyes and turn over and continue your dreams. In the dream, there are ideals, justice, evil and evil retribution, and if there is a pay, there will definitely be a return, and there is everything that is not there. We say that movies "make dreams", but what is really created is the loneliness at the moment of waking up, and the determination to make fun in the midst of suffering.
Tingting of Hunan Qifa Culture Media said in her explanation that Zaihong wrote that this is a dislocation comedy focusing on the workplace, accurately hitting the pain points of contemporary workplace people, sorting out workplace problems, quantitatively integrating, and refining and reorganizing, forming a set of combination punches, injecting a shot of strength into the current sluggish market. As a project that has been developed for a long time, although there is still room for optimization, it still provides a benign model for the market. It is hoped that the development of domestic comedies will be forced, the information barrier will be broken, the life cycle will be extended, the Jedi will be overtaken in the vertical field, the resources will be tilted towards traffic, and the granularity of the international market will be aligned.
The whole film accurately stepped on the cool point of contemporary office workers, allowing them to vent their anger and depression that they could not change the status quo. Accessories factory is the starting point of the group, but also the symbol of the spirit of work in the last century, Hu Jianlin with the most simple attitude to face the staff of the headquarters, but caught them off guard, to make a series of witty and humorous things, from the side reflects the absurdity of the company's system. How many people can be comforted at the end of the film, and how many people can be inspired to pursue the life they want, it must be impossible, but it is still good to have a fantasy.
This is a real annual meeting dedicated to all migrant workers, it is recommended to organize a unified **, scratching the itch of the migrant workers for many years, the lines and plot are good, almost every second is a pain point, and the screenwriter and director of internal entertainment finally have a screenwriter and director on duty!The film has no traffic stars and big productions, but the viewing atmosphere is extremely warm, laughter and applause are constant, and how loud everyone laughs shows how ironic this is, and how many grievances the workers have encountered this year. It's a pity that the movie is just an idealistic tragedy, and the world in the story where equality and justice always pay off will never be realized. But it doesn't matter, I've been tired and busy for a year, watching this movie, the right is the Internet mouth of all the workers.
