"Black Myth: Wukong": Are domestic game visual effects ahead of the movie?


1905 movie network news On August 20, the domestic role-playing game "Black Myth: Wukong" released a 6-minute real-world plot clip, which triggered heated discussions among netizens in terms of plot speculation and scene details. In recent years, the plot, clothing, and picture presentation of ancient costume mythology-themed movies have also attracted much attention from netizens, and the hot topics triggered by games and movies are highly overlapping. Why can this game video cause a heated debate? It is also a mythological adaptation. Are domestic games ahead of movies?



Regarding this video clip, Jin Yuxuan, a teacher at the Communication University of China, commented: The video is of high quality, with a cinematic texture, good rhythm control, and a strong sense of film. Secondly, the theme of this time is the theme of Pansidong in "Journey to the West". The place where the spider spirit enters is called Ruoxian Temple, and where does Ruoxian Temple come from? It is the 72nd chapter of "Journey to the West", "Seven Love Mystery Books in Pansidong, and the Eight Precautions of the Spring are Forgotten", so it has a very clear text source.



The video also uses the suspense skills of film creation to fully arouse the curiosity of the audience. The identity of the protagonist is deliberately hidden in the video, showing the audience a first perspective. The spider spirit is in front and leads the protagonist inside. Many netizens speculate that the old spider spirit is Chang’e, and the person who is led is Pigsy. These guesses are also based. There are judgments in the background sound of the video. The direction of these judgments makes it easy for the audience to direct the suspense of the protagonist of the whole story to Pigsy and Chang’e. When the old spider spirit appears, her entire character shape is very similar to the Chang’e shape of the 86 version of "Journey to the West", which also makes players and audiences curious about the direction behind the plot.



In this six-minute short film, the image of each character is so realistic that Mr. Xu Jingqing, who served as the chief composer of the 86 version of "Journey to the West", also gave a high evaluation after watching the video.


"It’s more terrifying than the monster in the TV series, and it’s more realistic."


@Communication University of China Teacher Jin Yuxuan:In fact, in the literary description of the original work, whether it is the protagonist team or the monster team, they present a hideous and terrifying appearance. So I think that in this "Black Myth: Wukong", it is really good to give us some clear presentation of some of the textures and images in the original work.



The cultural relics and ancient buildings involved in the short film have also become the object of research and popular science among netizens. Even though "Black Myth: Wukong" is an overhead world, the creators scanned the cultural relics and ancient buildings in reality in order to allow players to find a sense of commonality between the game and reality, and then put them in equal proportions into the game scene, which once again enhanced the authenticity of the experience. The production team of "Black Myth: Wukong" released a demo video a year ago, and some cultural relics appeared in the video, including a model of the twenty-eight constellations. The historical source of this model is in Shanxi, and even the local media in Shanxi used this video when promoting places of interest.



In recent years, many film creations have chosen the direction of mythological adaptations, including the "Journey to the West" series, the "New God List" series, etc. When these mythological elements continue to impact the audience’s mind, more or less aesthetic fatigue will occur. And this time, "Black Myth: Wukong" is also a work of mythological adaptations. Why is its situation so different?


@Communication University of China Teacher Jin Yuxuan:Our aesthetic fatigue is based on the fact that they are all telling similar stories, for example, they are focusing on a story about emotions. In fact, this is a very common way to deal with it. "Dark Myth: Wukong" I think captures something that has been less presented in previous adaptations and presentations, and that is the battle to defeat the Buddha and the Monkey King.



Sun Wukong used to be the unparalleled Great Sage of Monkey Heaven, but in fact, most of the time we see him, he is like a disobedient student in the class during the period of protecting Tang Sanzang to go to the West to learn scriptures, unable to hold up the class teacher’s mantra every day. In "Black Myth: Wukong", the creative team directly did one thing to make him return to the unparalleled world and regain the title of fighting and defeating Buddha. Although this spirit of resistance about Sun Wukong is reflected in many film and television works, the advantages of game videos and animations are greater than that of live-action movies. The sense of hypothesis it brings to us is completely different from the sense of hypothesis we watch live-action movies. "Black Myth: Wukong" and "The emotional impact it brings to us will be higher than that of live-action movies."



In addition, "Black Myth: Wukong" uses the Unreal Engine to improve the realism of the picture, and there are also many special effects in the movie that also use the Unreal Engine. In the post-visual effects processing, the Unreal Engine is used, which can restore the realism to the audience with the greatest appearance.


"I’ll write you an exciting one."

I hope this six-minute short film can inspire our filmmakers to learn from this "Black Myth: Wukong" when creating, how to attract the audience, how to impress the audience, and how to improve the realism of the picture. I believe that there will be more films in the future that can move the audience and give the audience a different visual experience.

Zheng Yusheng’s "Sword Rain" attracts attention, and the interview exposes the secrets of learning Chinese

  In the eyes of Koreans, Chinese is known for being more difficult to master than other languages. Korean fans are very concerned about how Zheng Yusheng can speak the Chinese dialogue fluently in "Sword Rain". Many Korean fans who have seen "Sword Rain" have commented on it online. Many netizens wrote: "I feel that Zheng Yusheng speaks Chinese better than other Chinese actors!" "In addition to perfect pronunciation, I can also hear Zheng Yusheng bring emotion into his lines." Many Korean Chinese learners and Chinese students who watched the film also praised Zheng Yusheng’s Chinese performance.
 

Xiaomi is angry! Zhiji automobile officially apologized.

The Zhiji conference is really "lively"!

On the evening of April 8, it was released, and the pre-sale price was 230,000-330,000 yuan. The pre-sale price of the super performance version does not exceed 299,900 yuan, the Max Lightyear version (solid state battery) does not exceed 330,000 yuan, and the standard version does not exceed 230,000 yuan.

At the end of the conference, Tamia Liu, co-CEO of IM Zhiji, directly compared the battery density, power and motor. With this comparison, something happened.

That night, the spokesman of Xiaomi Company issued three statements in succession, saying that Zhiji Company mislabeled the key parameters of Xiaomi SU7 Max at Zhiji L6 pre-sale conference, which caused extremely serious negative impact. In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of Xiaomi Company and protect users’ right to know, a statement was made.

Xiaomi emphasized that both the front and rear motors of Xiaomi SU7 Max are made of silicon carbide, which ensures the excellent performance and endurance of Xiaomi SU7 Max.

In addition, there is a limit to Xiaomi’s official tolerance for the recent repeated harassment and smearing behavior of Zhiji Company. Xiaomi officials firmly believe that the unreasonable, illegal and indecent behavior of Zhiji Company is totally inconsistent with the corporate culture, values and industry status, and it is also inconsistent with the historical trend of the United development of new energy vehicles in China.

The editor noticed that in a field photo taken by some media, comparing the motors of the two cars, it can be clearly seen that Zhiji L6 is "front and rear double SiC" and Xiaomi SU7 is marked as "front IGBT and rear SiC", and the statement issued by Xiaomi mentioned that the motors of Xiaomi SU7 Max are also silicon carbide (SiC), which ensures the excellent performance and endurance of Xiaomi SU7 Max. This has to make people guess whether Zhiji is suspected of indirectly belittling his competitors!

(Editor’s note: SiC stands for silicon carbide material, and IGBT stands for insulated gate bipolar transistor. Both of them are widely used in EHV power transmission systems and other fields, but under the same conditions, SiC power electronic devices have the advantages of higher blocking voltage, higher output power, higher working frequency and better temperature characteristics. )

The latest news,

Subsequently, @IM Zhiji Tamia Liu sent an apology to Weibo:

There was an information error at the press conference because of the wrong research results of product information. Xiaomi SU7, like Zhiji L6, uses SIC silicon carbide modules for both front and rear motors. Xiaomi SU7 is indeed our highly respected competitor! Here, I sincerely apologize to all of you.

Is this the end of it? However, there is no.

Subsequently, a spokesman for Xiaomi Company said: We don’t accept personal understatement and informal apology. Once again, we urge Zhiji Company to publicly clarify immediately and formally apologize to the public misled by it!

At 0: 10am on April 9th, a spokesman for Xiaomi Company sent another vehement Weibo, saying: There is a limit to our tolerance for the repeated harassment and smearing behavior of Zhiji Company recently.

Xiaomi’s previous statement also questioned that Zhiji Company, as a holding subsidiary of SAIC, should have such a fallacy, whether it was due to its lack of professional ability or its intention to spread rumors and discredit. A large number of netizens have publicly reminded Zhiji Company of this fallacy, but Zhiji Company has not corrected it. Regarding this matter, Xiaomi official will no longer respond. If you don’t get a formal public apology from Zhiji Company, Xiaomi officials will take legal weapons to protect their rights and interests. Xiaomi officially urged Zhiji Company to apologize immediately for the last time.

Generally speaking, major host manufacturers will definitely check the PPT content of the conference.

In particular, the contents of those pages compared with those of friends and businessmen must be reviewed many times. If you make a mistake, don’t you just give yourself trouble? Arguably, it is very professional. Zhiji Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. was registered on December 25, 2020. It was jointly established by SAIC, Alibaba and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech with a registered capital of 10 billion yuan.

However, in reality, Zhiji Automobile really had problems in the collection of relevant information about Xiaomi Automobile, or in the follow-up audit, which made a joke.

In the early morning of April 9th, Weibo, the official of @IM Zhiji Automobile, finally sent a letter of apology.

The content of the letter of apology is: during the release of Zhiji L6, during the introduction of Xiaomi SU7 product force, which was hotly debated in recent years, a key parameter was incorrectly marked due to the omission of the team’s content review. It is clarified as follows: The front and rear motors of Xiaomi SU7 Max are made of SIC silicon carbide modules, which are consistent with the technology adopted by Zhiji L6 and are the top technical standards in the industry. Xiaomi Auto and its product SU7 are our respected competitors! We apologize for the negative impact on Xiaomi Automobile due to the omissions in the internal audit, and sincerely apologize to all fans and users!

I haven’t forgotten Aite @ Xiaomi Company spokesperson.

Finally, let’s look at some comparison pictures on Tik Tok …

What do you want to say, this shooting angle, this scene, this model … is it to let netizens "find different"? Xiaomi made a car for the first time and was marked. What do you think?

Strange knowledge | "Black Myth: Wukong" obtained the online game license number, why is the stand-alone game also considered an online game?

On February 27, the State Press and Publication Administration announced the approval information of domestic online games in February 2024, and a total of 111 games were issued with version numbers in this round. Among them, the domestic stand-alone game "Black Myth: Wukong", which has attracted much attention from players since the release of some video promotional materials in 2020, was finally issued this month.

Some netizens were puzzled after paying attention to this news. Why do domestic stand-alone games have to pass the approval of domestic online games? In fact, "domestic online game approval information" and "imported online game approval information" are what players call "version number". The definition of "online game" by the State Press and Publication Administration is not exactly the same as the concept of ordinary players. In the minds of most players, "online games" can be "multiplayer online", and others are all called stand-alone games. Even "Yuan Shen", which must be played in an online environment, is often called a stand-alone game with online elements.

However, according to the State Press and Publication Administration’s 2009 "Notice on Implementing the State Council’s" Three Decisions "and the Central Editing Office’s Interpretation to Further Strengthen the Administration of Pre-approval of Online Games and the Approval of Imported Online Games," which clearly stipulates:The term "online games" as mentioned in this notice refers to all Internet game works that are used or downloaded online by the public through the Internet (including wired Internet and mobile communication networks, etc.). Mainly including but not limited to: large-scale role-playing online games (MMORPGs), web games (Webgames), casual games, online downloads of stand-alone games, games with networking functions, online battle game platforms, and mobile online games.

Therefore, it is not surprising that "Black Myth: Wukong" has been listed this time. In fact, a large number of domestic stand-alone games such as "Cologne", "Destiny 2" and "Warm Snow" have passed online game approval before.

This time, "Black Myth: Wukong", which has been eagerly followed by netizens, is an action role-playing game made by Game Science Company with Chinese mythology as the background. In the game, players will play a "Destiny Man", in order to explore the truth of the past legends, embark on a journey full of danger and surprise to the west. The team of Game Science Company told reporters that by the end of 2023, "Black Myth: Wukong" has been played more than 660 million times on the whole network. At the same time, the game image has also been continuously selected for the year-end inventory of CCTV cultural symbols in 2021 and 2022.

At the TGA 2023 annual game election ceremony on December 8, 2023, "Black Myth: Goku" was officially announced to be released on August 20, 2024, and was simultaneously launched on PC, PS5, and Xbox. This is the first time the game has announced its accurate launch information since the first exposure video was released in 2020. It has attracted great attention from the game market at home and abroad.

Within three days of the release of the game’s launch information, according to incomplete statistics, the game’s YouTube-related playback has exceeded 40 million, which is the first in the history of China’s stand-alone game trailer playback. It was spontaneously spread by a large number of overseas leading live streaming hosts in various fields. It is worth mentioning that in August 2023, at the Cologne Game Show, one of the most influential game exhibitions in the world, "Black Myth: Wukong" also won the "Best Visual Effects Award" in 2023.

Michelle Yeoh made a sexy appearance to show her beautiful legs and was courted by Zheng Yusheng

    The new film "Sword Rain", produced by John Woo and directed by Su Zhaobin, held a press conference in Hong Kong on the 29th. Woo and Su Zhaobin led the actors: Michelle Yeoh, Zheng Yusheng, and Yu Wenle, who attended together. Michelle Yeoh has announced in advance that she will not accept interviews independently, and seems to want to avoid talking about the peach news about her younger brother and Cai Huimin. The reason why Michelle Yeoh collaborates with John Woo this time is because many years ago in the United States, when they thought it was difficult to find a good script, she admitted that she has been eager to cooperate with John Woo, but unfortunately there is no chance. After many years, she feels so happy to finally get along on the big screen, and all the actors are like "developed". Speaking of his partner Zheng Yusheng, Michelle Yeoh praised him and said: He is very diligent, and he will keep practicing Mandarin when he is not buried. In the play, he reads all the dialogue in Mandarin, and he also works hard to practice swordsmanship, which makes her feel embarrassed.

    Zheng Yusheng greeted and introduced himself to the media present in Mandarin. Regarding Yeoh’s admiration, he said: As a woman, Yeoh has her own style, is a good cooperation and responsible actor, she will show her best side, which impressed him deeply. She has a good heart and character, and she is a good girlfriend. After saying that, the two dragged their hands, and Yu Wenle smiled and pointed out that Zheng Yusheng was too late. When Zheng Yusheng learned that Yeoh had a good boyfriend, he asked Yeoh: Can I make an appointment in the next life? Yeoh was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth with a smile.

    John Woo was asked if there was any pressure to shoot "Sword Rain"? He admitted frankly: There has never been any pressure at the box office, and the most important thing is that the audience is very happy to like it. "Sword Rain" has been highly praised in mainland China, Europe, America and Hong Kong, and it sold better than "Red Bi" in Europe and America. It cost tens of millions of dollars more, which made me a little jealous… But it’s all his plays, so I don’t have any worries about the plays.

Gao Ye Wang Xiao Aruna… The cast of "Hurricane" reunited for it this time?


1905 movie network feature The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the Spring Festival videos are doing their best to "roll" up.


The audience tried their best to sort out the plot points of each movie in various video materials, and also explore the possibility of the actors this time in the short video. The change of efforts, the portrayal of deaf and mute people, the interpretation of characters… Every effective discussion made them become frequent visitors on the hot search list.



And their confidence comes from the works. Because of the support of the works, they were seen by these directors.


Just like at the press conference, he got the annual hot word "Biao" and frankly said, "Thank you for this word’Biao ‘, so that the director can see his progress." Although it was not specified, everyone naturally understood that it was referring to the role of sister-in-law in China.


This made the director see that the assistant director, who had been a cameo nurse on the crew, had already transformed into an excellent actress recognized by the public.



In addition to Takaba, the actors in "Hurricane" have also become actors in "Article 20".



Previously, many people have mentioned in interviews that director Zhang Yimou has a high reading volume, and even if he is busy with work, he will set aside time to watch films.




If "Hurricane" allows Zhang Yimou to see Gao Ye, Wang Xiao, and others, then there is reason to believe that in 2023, another word-of-mouth masterpiece will also allow the director to find many partners in it.


– That’s the show.



The old partner doesn’t need to say much, and the actors in the series, such as,, and so on, are also pleasantly surprised to appear in "Article 20".




In addition to the drama series, the acting skills in last year’s popular movies are obvious to all, and joining "Article 20" this time is also highly anticipated.


In addition to excellent dramas and movies, Zhang Yimou seems to have paid a lot of attention to variety shows.


Following the use of the "Annual Comedy Convention" of Zhang Chi, he this time in the comedy movie "Article 20", chose "Annual Comedy Convention" and.



Perhaps Zhang Yimou’s choice of Liu Yaowen was also due to a certain bright spot in his "Infinite Transcendence Class" at the beginning of last year.



In addition to these actors, Zhao Liying’s participation is even more eye-catching. Looking back at 2022-2023, she experimented with realistic-themed works – and two episodes of "Wind Blows Half Summer", both of which allowed audiences to see her transformation as an actor and the thickness of her performances.



It is worth noting that the original work of "Happiness to Wanjia", "The Legend of Qiu Ju", has been adapted into a movie before. This relationship also adds a layer of connection between director Zhang Yimou and actor Zhao Liying. From the current trailer, Zhao Liying plays Hao Xiuping, which is quite resilient of Qiu Ju back then.



In addition to Zhang Yimou’s "Article 20", the creators of other films also share this fate.


In China, this is already the second collaboration with the director. As early as before, Fan Chengcheng has shown his comic talent in the film produced and directed by Han Han. I believe this collaboration will give the two a chance to play two games.



In fact, Fan Chengcheng’s role in "Unfamiliar with Life" was recommended by the director. At that time, the two were working together, and the director Yi Xiaoxing was the producer of the film. When talking about the lack of a suitable candidate for the male lead of his project, Ma Kai immediately recommended this new generation actor to him. With these consecutive good collaborations, more projects will naturally follow.


Before working together, they always have their works as the cornerstone, step by step, without using traffic to define value, because the works have already become the most powerful echo. Perhaps in the future, we will continue to see more similar actors being discovered, whether it is the small screen or the big screen, they are shining brightly and deserve better treatment.


Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi’s battle for love "Very Perfect" Stars Statue

Young directors and big names have joined, and such cooperation models have appeared more and more frequently in the domestic film market in recent years. Zhang Ziyi’s first film as a producer and starring, with Fan Bingbing, Su Zhixie, He Rundong, Lin Xinru, and Yao Chen starring in it. The second feature film of Yimeng, a director studying in the United States, is destined to set off a boom this summer.


Zhang Ziyi

From the perspective of the heroine Sophie, it is simply a process of "losing love, striving for love, and regaining love." A series of small tricks, tricks, and surprises derived from "love" occur in the middle. Finally, it conforms to the label of "urban fashion romantic comedy", and the lovers finally get married. Such a story may be suitable for a summer that needs a touch of coolness in a heat wave, for urbanites who are busy all day, and for people who have a vision of sweet love, but it is still the old saying – benevolent people see benevolence and wise people see wisdom. There is a market, and everyone gets what they need.

Although, as far as the whole movie is concerned, the demand for acting is not so harsh or extreme. But just seeing these actors with enough weight and hot topics appear on the big screen at the same time, it is already worthy of the name of "urban fashion romantic comedy".

Supporting actors with leading roles

Looking at the whole movie, under the light of Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing, the aura of the other stars was relatively discounted a lot. Observing one by one, one of Sophie’s girlfriends, Lu Xiaoxi played by Lin Xinru, has capable short hair, smoky makeup, and black main suits. The overall shape is good enough, but apart from the shape, there are not many memory points. Sophie’s second best friend, Li Li played by Yao Chen, has curly hair sheep head, and blingbling gold and silver jewelry all over her body. The big-mouthed beautiful woman’s comedy talent is still unstoppable, and because there are not many scenes, the place where she can stand out is relatively limited. However, "YOU seduce my husband!" This line is believed to be popular for a short time. Then, Mr. Right, who wrote a happy ending with Sophie, and Chang Rui, played by He Rundong, gave the character the words "no merit". There are no distinctive characters, and He Rundong’s tall and healthy appearance, sunny and handsome face, and natural and friendly performance are used just right. However, if you replace it with someone else, I believe it will not make much difference. In the end, Sophie’s ex-boyfriend, Lee Jiefu, who was originally thought to be the most central and interesting, recruited Su Zhixie, who is absolutely guaranteed to be popular in Korea, to play. However, the result makes people feel a little regretful that he is "overqualified". In the movie, Mr. Su took a foil route. The two beautiful women were just competing for the goal, and he always felt that there was a little less personality and a little less independent advocacy. The innocence, confusion and helplessness in the eyes that the plot needs are revealed from time to time. Or it should be said that in the background of big-name women’s plays, it is enough for men to play in moderation.


He Rundong

The two major characters that made their debut

As two major domestic A-list actresses, Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing’s show on the same stage is definitely one of the biggest attractions. In the movie, the two characters are also in tit-for-tat positions, Li Jiefu’s ex-girlfriend – comic book collection Sophie and current girlfriend – big star Wang Jingjing. One is in the process of "revenge" to regain his old love, and the other is in a big confrontation to defend his new love’s acting skills. The cartoonist’s fanciful moves are against the big stars’ acting skills that are still proficient in life, and it was thought that this was the main axis of the narrative. In fact, compared to Zhang Ziyi’s most important appearance, Fan Bingbing can perform in relatively few places.


Fan Bingbing

I’m used to seeing Zhang Ziyi in all kinds of big productions. The first time I saw her in a "non-blockbuster" or a comedy, I was really not used to it when I first started watching it. Due to the needs of the plot, the exaggerated performance method and the innocent and romantic expression that seemed to be a little beyond age finally stopped feeling discordant in the middle of the movie. Little clever, little bad, little evil, little confused, all the characters need are fully displayed and not annoying, which is not bad. At the same time, the plot comic-style narrative, the prominent details and color matching in the scene, and the full transformation of the clothing add a lot of points to the three-dimensional shaping of the whole character, or these are the essential elements of the so-called urban fashion drama.

In the end, Fan Bingbing was mentioned because this character, who seemed to be the protagonist but did not have too many roles, but who felt like nothing more than Fan Bingbing, was well-interpreted. As far as the character itself was concerned, Fan Bingbing could definitely perform with ease at her current level, and just the aura and aura of a big star were already natural to her. Under the premise of the plot and the needs of the character, it also required skills to show one’s beauty to the greatest extent, and she did it. Especially in the rock climbing arena, she watched Sophie with tears in her eyes and duplicity, saying, "Play acting with me, can you?" The scene was particularly classic. In addition, due to the needs of the play within the play, a series of shapes from ancient times to the present appear distinct under the interpretation of Fan Bingbing, which also makes the picture feel rich and layered again. Although the way of handling the ending is a little stiff, there is no reasonable plot overkill to reflect Wang Jingjing’s inner transformation. Maybe the director doesn’t think there is such a need, it’s just wishful thinking of me as a viewer.

The movie has not been released in the whole country, and the topics are already numerous. Some people say that the movie is not bad, it is worth watching; some people say that only the big names have no content, and it is not worth wasting money; some people say that this is a brand new attempt in Chinese film; some people say that this movie has seen too many shadows of movies, just like Korean idol movies… In this circle, the more topics, the easier it is to attract attention. Whether you love it or not, if you just want to find something to make yourself happy in the hot summer, if you don’t care so much about the imperfections under the perfect, then this movie ticket should still be considered, if you still have some money in your pocket.

Wahaha’s New Year’s Eve dinner kicked off with excitement, sharing the fruits of corporate development with employees

The workers’ congress had just come to an end, and the Spring Festival group meeting had a grand debut. This week, Wahaha had a "very fulfilling" life.

From January 29th to 30th, Wahaha Group held a staff congress and a meeting of factory directors in Hangzhou. Zong Fuli led the meeting and made plans and arrangements for the development direction of Wahaha in the new year, and settled the first "major event" after the opening year a year ago. On the eve of the Lunar New Year on February 2nd, Wahaha held a Spring Festival youth workers group meeting in Xiasha Base in Hangzhou, which was still hosted by Zong Fuli. The Wahaha New Year’s Eve dinner was lively.

It’s not a good idea.The highlights of the "Wahaha Spring Festival Gala" continue, and the New Year’s "jackpot" is presented.

Early in the morning, the "Junjie Hotel" located in Wahaha Xiasha Base was full of New Year’s flavor, with 145 tables filled with drinks, fruits, nuts and cold cuts. More than a thousand young workers entered the venue one after another, their faces full of excitement and expectation. There were also paper cuts with the word "Fu", red lanterns hung high up, and mascots for the Year of the Dragon… The atmosphere was thick and lively.

Since 1987, the tradition of annual reunion banquets has gradually formed a unique cultural symbol of Wahaha. Every year, on the eve of the Spring Festival, Wahaha invites young workers in Hangzhou to have a New Year’s Eve dinner, which includes sumptuous delicacies, evening performances, and red envelope awards.

This year was the same, the party had set up multiple rounds of on-site lottery, large supermarket cards, electric vehicles, tablet computers, glory mobile phones… The company prepared generous prizes, including the sunshine-drenched prize for everyone – New Year’s gift package and lottery tickets, to give employees the "jackpot" of the new year.

It is worth mentioning that the on-site singing and dancing, folk music, recitation and other programs were written, directed and performed by the Wahaha Art Troupe and Wahaha employees at various positions. They also combined annual events such as sponsoring the Asian Games and the corporate culture of striving for progress. It brought a fun and exciting audio-visual experience to the young workers of Wahaha. The applause and laughter from the audience continued, making it a luxurious "Wahaha Spring Festival Gala".

It’s not a good idea.37 years of uninterrupted care, allowing employees to feel the warmth of home

Focusing on employee care has always been a major feature of Wahaha. During its 37 years of development, Wahaha has pursued a corporate culture of "uniting the small family, developing everyone, and serving the country", and has always placed the happy life of its employees in an important position. Wahaha has also been called a "conscience enterprise" and "other people’s company" many times because of its good welfare benefits.

The first is to insist on giving employees annual bonuses every year, so that employees can enjoy the fruits of enterprise development most intuitively, and at the same time insist on holding Wahaha New Year’s Eve dinner every year to celebrate the Spring Festival with employees. Sending red envelopes and drawing gifts is the "highlight" that has never been absent every year.

Secondly, for young employees, housing has always been the "top priority" in their life development. Wahaha regards solving the housing problem of employees as an important task, providing employees with free dormitories covering all bases across the country, free of water and electricity; implementing a stepped housing project covering all employees to solve the problem of employees settling down. So far, more than 1,000 employee apartments have been built in Jiaxing Haining, Sichuan Chengdu, Tianjin, Chongqing and other places, more than 1,500 apartments have been allocated for married backbone employees, 640 low-rent housing units have been provided for employees, and more than 50 million housing purchase subsidies have been provided, solving the worries of employees.

In addition, there are "irregular drop" mid-year bonuses, holiday condolences, festival fees, colorful "staff homes" and "cultural clubs", etc…. Taking care of the diverse and personalized material and spiritual needs of employees greatly enhances the sense of belonging of employees, and motivates every Wahaha employee to "twist a rope" and strive forward.

If the enterprise develops well, employees can naturally develop well. Wahaha is verifying this sentence with practical actions. For 37 years, Wahaha has adhered to honest management, actively fulfilled social responsibility, ensured product safety and health, cooperated with suppliers and distributors for win-win results, and allowed employees to share the fruits of enterprise development.

This is the second best movie of Hu Ge’s career

Hu Ge is a first-rate TV actor and a second-rate movie actor.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s coffee or acting.

From "The Legend of Immortals and Swords" to "Langya Ranking" to "Flowering Flowers", Hu Ge has had a hit drama at every stage of his acting career.

But compared with TV dramas, Hu Ge starred in fewer movies, and even fewer masterpieces were produced.

So far, the best film of Hu Ge’s career is probably "The Wild Goose Lake" directed by Diao Yinan.

Recently, he starred in the theater film "Stop and Go" was released, and I thought that this movie starring Hu Ge could be ranked second.

Compared to "The Wild Goose Lake", there is no way, and there is a gap in grades between directors. But compared to "It’s Worth It", which won the Best Actor of the Shanghai Film Festival for Hu Ge before, "Stop and Go" has similarities in genre and theme, but the overall is much better.

More importantly, "The Wild Goose Lake" is more significant to Diao Yinan than Hu Ge, and Hu Ge’s performance in it can be regarded as futile at best, but "Stop and Go" has opened up a new track for Hu Ge.

Let’s talk about the movie itself first.

"Stop and Go" is a very "small" movie.

It had nothing to do with grandeur. It was about the little things that happened to the little people, and the director didn’t have much ambition. He didn’t want his movie to be linked to the big word "era".

The key word for the film is two words, go home. To put it more bluntly, it is the other two words, lie flat.

Wu Di, the protagonist played by Hu Ge, belongs to the North Drift Return crowd.

He worked as a screenwriter in Beijing, but he repeatedly hit a wall, and eventually failed in his emotional career and couldn’t get along, so he returned to his hometown of Sichuan.

In crime movies, this kind of person is most likely to have a big vote, but in literary movies, the trash will of course continue to live in a way that is heartbroken but free on the surface.

After Wu Di returned to his hometown, he immediately entered a state of mixed eating and waiting to die. A scene that reflects his state is that he is mixed in a group of the elderly queuing up to get eggs.

This scene also formed a connection with the main storyline, Gao Yuanyuan played the heroine Feng Liuliu appeared, as the host of the TV station, she was shooting this group of eggs for the elderly, but accidentally found high school classmate Wu Di mixed in.

Therefore, she came up with an idea to make a documentary with Wu Di as the protagonist.

Feng Liuliu’s behavior of shooting whatever he wants is very inconsistent with the tonality of local TV stations. The local stations in our impression, in addition to broadcasting painless advertisements and selling drugs for the elderly, will at most provide local leaders with a platform to show their self-charm. A host casually catches an old classmate and wants to shoot a documentary. This is nonsense among nonsense.

But nonsense is nonsense, the scene where Wu Di and Feng Liuliu met for the first time was really good.

Fortunately, the description of the characters.

The highlight is in the conversation between the two.

Wu Di met Feng Liuliu and was a little embarrassed, saying that he was "Gap". This reaction was very accurate. He bluntly said that he was unemployed and went home. Although he was honest, he was too sad, which would make the temperament of the film dim all of a sudden. He pretended to say that he actually had a job and just went home for vacation, and it was too hypocritical, which made the character unpleasant. He said that he was in "Gap", which was in line with the characteristics of the character as a literary youth.

Feng Liuliu is the character of an idealist in the film, and her ideas are relatively simple, which is also in line with the appearance of the actor. After all, if she grows into Gao Yuanyuan, she will not be beaten too much in reality. The characteristics of idealists are that they are easy to fake and empty, like to talk useless big words, and are especially willing to pretend to be very realistic. When she met Wu Di, she wanted to make a documentary, and she also said this sentence:

Middle-aged people like you often face a double burden.

Note that it’s not just middle-aged male characters who have fatherhood.

Wu Di’s reaction was very good. He didn’t think he was a middle-aged man, so he was stunned. He repeated the words "middle-aged man", but it became a question.

You look at Wu Di as if he should have eaten and slept when he returned home, but in fact, he didn’t. At this moment, he was stunned and exposed everything. Wu Di was just running away from his failure like a child.

Feng Liuliu took it well, saying that you are two months older than me, why are you not middle-aged?

Wu Di took it better. He didn’t follow the topic and turned a corner. What he said was:

You still remember my birthday.

The oppressive atmosphere caused by Feng Liuliu not speaking human words was instantly reversed, and Wu Di’s personality characteristics were once again highlighted. More importantly, the relationship between the two people was brought closer by this line.

In the film, Feng Liuliu may not really take Wu Di’s birthday seriously. Wu Di is very surprised. It is probably a reaction at that time. It does not mean that he will rekindle love because of this information point, but in the eyes of the audience, they will naturally look forward to something happening between them.

This made the movie look good. Many viewers would subconsciously shy away from literary films because some directors of literary films were too boring to film. Whether or not the artistry was put aside for the time being, and the audience could not see it, it would be difficult to find your artistic exploration and ideological expression.

The advantages and disadvantages of "Stop and Go" are symbiotic. His advantages are that the details are handled humanely, the characters are fresh enough, the lines are well written, and the rhythm is properly arranged. The disadvantage is that the living environment provided to the protagonist Wu Di in the film is a purified ideal world, as if as long as he returns home, everything will really be quiet, and even the opportunity to realize his ideal will appear.

Feng Liuliu made a documentary for Wu Di, saw the script written by Wu Di, and suggested that he make a movie. As a result, Wu Di really started filming.

This matter is no longer science fiction, and can basically be included in the category of magic.

Wu Di, who failed in Beipiao, should understand what the three words of making a movie mean. Don’t look at the Apple advertisement saying that you need a mobile phone to make a movie. Although Xu Lei used his father to make "Sherlock on the Plain", it also cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Of course, Wu Di had no money, so Wu Di’s mother gave Wu Di his father’s private money, but it was not much, 10,000 yuan.

What if there are no actors? His mother, Jiang Meiling, is the female lead, and the male lead? Call Lao Li, the pillar of the drama troupe. Lao Li also cooperated very much, and he was so idle that he agreed immediately.

Wu Di could be both a director and a screenwriter, so where could he find a photographer? Feng Liuliu didn’t want to make a documentary, but the TV station had a photographer. Coincidentally, this photographer liked Ozu as much as Wu Di, and also had the dream of making movies, so he was willing to volunteer labor, so he didn’t have to worry about the equipment, so he just appropriated it.

All the idealists in Sichuan surrounded Wu Di.

It has to be said that when these "golden fingers" accumulate to a certain extent, the reality of the film has been stripped away. In a sense, it is no different from a martial arts film. The difference is that martial arts may really exist, but the vacuum environment Wu Di is in is absolutely impossible to exist.

But what’s great about "Stop and Go" is that it held me back with characters and details.

I knew that the movie was a nonsense, but I was still attracted by it. I knew that there wasn’t much left in the movie’s reality, but I was still moved by the characters in the movie.

This is a very contradictory point, but it also reflects a certain dilemma faced by domestic film creators. Some of them are really good at making movies, especially writing single scenes, and know how to impress audiences, but the subject matter they have to deal with is likely to be either as distorted as air or as tasteless as water.

The scenes in the main plot of "Stop and Go" were shot with a high degree of completion, vividly portraying the Wu Di family and Lao Li and other characters, completing each single scene with great fun, and also making the emotional concentration become higher and higher in the development of the film’s plot. Finally, Wu Di’s father made up the shots for his deceased wife, which reached the peak of the moving level.

As far as the temperament of the film is concerned, there is a bit of Woody Allen’s taste. The director not only pays tribute to Woody Allen with the name of the male lead and the poster on the wall, but also has a touch of humor and sadness.

What really made me like the movie more than disappointed was the director’s handling of the ending.

If something really happened to Wu Di and Feng Liuliu in the film, then the film would be completely deflated. The director is very smart, and at the end of the film, Wu Di took over his sister’s class and became a taxi driver. The driving encountered congestion, and as a result, he met Feng Liuliu’s family who had been reunited with his ex-husband. Two lanes, two people and two cars stopped and stopped, the cars did not intersect, and there was no conversation. Everything was just right, with a little regret, but isn’t life like this?

This ending is ingenious enough, designed and natural. It is the point of the full score composition, but it is not so contrived, which is in line with the overall life flow of the film.

The director will arrange for Wu Di to become a taxi driver at the end, indicating that he knows what reality is like, and that he can make Wu Di and the others’ filming process interesting, indicating that he knows what life is like, but unfortunately, he still failed to find the perfect balance between realism and literary temperament. Inevitably, there will be distortion, but since the completion is high enough, many audiences, including me, can tolerate its shortcomings.

In other words, this is indeed a movie with a good sentence but no good chapter, but compared to many domestic films that don’t even have a good sentence, it is already a general among the shorts.

For Hu Ge, the significance of this film is that it allows Hu Ge to meet a particularly suitable role for him, that is, a dejected Wenqing boy with a bit of optimism.

In addition, although it is a bit far-fetched to classify "Stop and Go" as a comedy, if Hu Ge can use this film to realize that he can do comedy, and other directors can also see Hu Ge’s potential in comedy films, it will open up a few new possibilities for Hu Ge’s acting career.
