The work pressure is high, and I really want to "resolve a thousand worries with a smile", so I have been looking forward to "Laughing in the World" for a long time. After watching it, many people felt a little disappointed - their expectations for "laughter" were too "big", and the laughter (effect) presented by the film was not as good as people expected. It is the word "laugh" that attracts the audience's attention and achieves its box office success. It is also the word "laugh" that dampens the audience's interest and is criticized by the audience. I don’t think we need to understand this film in terms of laughter. If we look at it in terms of “jianghu” and combine it with real life and work, this film does have a lot of aftertaste worth savoring. Xiaosheng will try to describe one or two here:
1. There is no high or low profession in the world.
The first difficulty for people in the world of martial arts is to make a living. If your father is not Li Gang, and if you are not a rich second generation, then finding a job and earning a salary is what you need after leaving the comfortable campus and rushing to the world of martial arts. top priority. What occupation do you engage in? It doesn’t matter if your major doesn’t match yours. Don’t worry if you can’t work in a foreign or state-owned enterprise. Even becoming a shoemaker doesn’t matter. Look at Wu Di (played by Xiao Shenyang), doesn’t he work diligently? In real life, there are people who will The job of shining shoes is very popular and has a chain across the country. You can even work as a pedicure masseur. When you see Uncle Motoyama’s expression of pleasure and enjoyment under the massage of two big men in the video, you will understand that pedicure is also It can bring value to customers. From this, you also understand why there are so many foot massage parlors on both sides of the street. It is because this kind of work itself is valuable and has a huge consumer base. So when you choose a job, don't be swayed by the world's various opinions. You must know that there is no high or low profession. You can also make a difference in industries such as shoemaker and pedicurist. Of course, forced by life, you can and should have other dreams when you are doing a job that you don't like very much. You see, the dream of the little shoemaker is to become a martial arts master, and finally it came true like a storm. It can be seen that dreams are precious!
2. Be professional and responsible in your work.
In order to return the shoes of customer Yuelu (played by Lin Xilei), a young shoemaker traveled across mountains and rivers, and experienced the danger of being robbed and pushed off a cliff. For the promise of "I want to return the shoes to you" (of course, there is also a factor of affection for Yuelu in the film). Therefore, work is a platform for you to display your skills. Don't perfuse it because you don't like it. Don't complain if you choose it, and do it in a down-to-earth manner. This way you are responsible for the company and your own life. It can be seen that a sense of responsibility is a must!
3. Listen to your inner calling and dare to do what you want to do.
Yuelu, who was loved by the emperor (played by Chen Zhipeng), could have been the mother of a country. But she didn't like him and chose to run away from marriage once. Even when she put on a red hijab, she still couldn't let go of the little shoemaker she gradually fell in love with in her heart, so she chose to run away from marriage again. People who dare to pursue what they really want to do are the most admirable. When people are in the world, in order to make a living and for their families, they are often engaged in jobs they don't like. If you have the courage not to bow to life, the determination to find a job that matches your profession, and the courage to create a career that you like (starting a business is the wish of many people), then I wish you the best and please do so. Be persistent, even if you are poor for a long time, you will eventually succeed one day. Moon Dew can give up all the wealth and splendor for love. Why don't you dare to give up your meager salary for the strong desire in your heart? . So, when you really hate the job you are doing, and you won’t starve if you lose it, please resolutely change jobs and find or create one you like! Life is short, why force yourself to do anything difficult. Why bother doing half-heartedly and complaining about work you don't like? ! It can be seen that the courage to decide and persist is valuable!
4. In the workplace, ability is very important.
In today's fiercely competitive society, even robbery requires ability. When two river pirates (played by Zhao Benshan and Cheng Ye) were robbing a boat, they met the little shoemaker, a martial arts master (of course with the secret help of an expert like the old man with white beard). The robbery failed and they could only escape. . In the workplace, we must continue to learn and improve our capabilities, otherwise many masters will surpass you, and more young people will slap you on the beach and put you on the layoff list. Without ability, where can you stand? ! On the contrary, if you are capable, others will respect you.
When the two river pirates and the little shoemaker met again in prison, the river pirate boss (Uncle Motoyama) was enjoying a foot massage. When he saw a master who had defeated him come in, he quickly and respectfully invited him to enjoy a foot massage. Why? Because in his eyes, the little shoemaker is a very capable master. Therefore, cultivating your abilities is a matter of constant effort.
5. In the workplace, it is important to have a good relationship with the big boss.
Because Yuelu is loved by the emperor, the most powerful boss, she has been receiving help (although not with good intentions) from an expert in the imperial city (Eric Tsang) to save her life in Tian. Under the naked sword, he helped her succeed in the martial arts competition. Why? Because she has the support of a big boss behind her. In the workplace, if you are a popular person around your boss, even if others are jealous, they will always protect you in many things and give you the green light. Therefore, building a relationship with your boss is something that cannot be ignored.
6. The most important thing is to keep your own heart. In the workplace, you must have love, and you must not be harmful to others, and you must not be defenseless.
This can be understood from the young shoemaker, the emperor, and the eunuch Cheng Gonggong (played by Xu Shaoqiang). In the workplace, you need to be loving, compassionate and caring about the people around you. In the film, when the little shoemaker was in a hurry to board the ship, he accidentally knocked an old man with white hair and staggered. When he looked back, he found that the old man was old and hobbling, so he felt good and helped the old man to board the ship. Got the boat. At that time, he must have never thought that this old man was actually the noble person in his life---he secretly helped him defeat the river pirates, passed on his profound internal skills to him, and even gave him the martial arts secrets without hesitation. It seems that people in the workplace have to be caring. When you see someone around you in need of help, please be sure to lend a helping hand if you can. As the tides turn, you may not be able to give you the help you expected that day. of more returns. So don’t forget to help those around you. When people are in the arena, don't have ulterior motives and plot against others. You see, the great eunuch Cheng Gonggong appeared to be obedient to the emperor and made suggestions, but secretly he was plotting to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, and he ended up in ruins. Therefore, please try your best to stay aboveboard in the workplace and avoid plotting against others. The workplace is dangerous, so you have to be on guard against others. The emperor would never have thought that the eunuch who was closest to him would actually be someone who wanted to take his own life. This kind of tragedy has happened time and time again in history, so it seems that it has nothing to do with you. The person who is closest and closest to you may not necessarily be the most trustworthy person. Therefore, please be more discerning in the workplace and not be so stupid.
7. If you make a mistake at work, please be brave enough to admit it, otherwise the mistake will be further magnified.
In the film, when two sisters, Pink Phoenix (played by Bi Chang) and Red Phoenix, used poison gas to attack the little shoemaker, Red Phoenix accidentally poisoned himself and asked Pink Phoenix to find an antidote. Unfortunately, Pink Phoenix Phoenix was color-blind and mistakenly took a more poisonous medicine as an antidote, causing Red Phoenix to die immediately. In order to excuse her mistake, Pink Phoenix lied to the leader (Pink Phoenix, leader of Shennong Cult, played by Tian Ni) that it was the little shoemaker who killed Red Phoenix, which further led to the leader seeking revenge on the little shoemaker, and ended up losing his life in vain. . In fact, in the workplace, if you make mistakes and have the courage to admit them and take responsibility, the mistakes will not be magnified and others will generally forgive you. Therefore, if you make mistakes at work, don't hide them, but dare to stand up and admit your mistakes.
8. Don’t let others take advantage of you.
General Li (played by Liang Zongren) in the film is controlled by the eunuch Cheng Eunuch. Why? In fact, he is the father of little shoemaker Wu Di, Lieutenant Wu, and his position is at the level of lieutenant. Because the handle of "pretending to be a general for more than ten years" was in the hands of Eunuch Cheng, he had to be coerced by him. Therefore, in life, At work, if you have leverage in the hands of others, you will become someone else's puppet. Because we think: If you have a fake diploma from a pheasant university, please be careful not to be exposed by others; if you swallow the kickback from the buyer. , please do not give him a receipt; if you are invited to a sauna by a client, please be careful not to be filmed on video; if you buy a fake invoice on the side of the road, please do not let the tax see the flaw. Documents, you have the bad habit of signing horizontally to indicate that you will not do it, and signing vertically to indicate that you will do it quickly. Please don’t let your supervisor find out, otherwise you will be exposed on the Internet; What if...; What a handle, it is really a lever held by others. Sword! If you are upright and upright in life, work, and officialdom, the excuses will disappear.
Of course, for those hypocrites who are good at creating "groundless" excuses, please be careful, they will only hurt yourself.
9. In the workplace, you must follow the right people and do the right things.
In the film, the master Ouchi (played by Eric Tsang) has extraordinary abilities and martial arts skills, and has saved Yuelu from danger several times. He can spit balls and shoot from a long distance to strip people naked; he can quickly wake up from the drunkenness of the hotel proprietress; he also has special skills such as big footprints and the flute, making him a hero of his generation. It's a pity that he followed the wrong person and became the accomplice of the great eunuch. He did something wrong like trying to kill the emperor, and was eventually killed by the sword of the little shoemaker. It's a pity. If such a talented person didn't stand in the wrong team, followed the emperor, and did the right thing, he would definitely be popular and drink hot food. Therefore, in the workplace, if you find that you are following the wrong boss and doing unpopular things, please leave as soon as possible. You must have the determination to retreat "even if you sell tofu, I won't stay here" (selling tofu is not bad, it is many times better than going to the coal kiln, and you don't have to worry about accidents). Of course, if what you are serving is an iron bowl or a golden rice bowl, you will definitely be reluctant to put it down, so just endure it.
10. Don’t overestimate your abilities when you are in the arena.
Miss Yuelu in the film has lofty ambitions and is determined to be the leader of the martial arts league. She thinks that she has mastered the "sword energy" to the point where she can put out candles, so she shows off her sword in front of the little shoemaker. N times, the candlelight still flickered. In order to save her face, the little shoemaker blew out the candle quietly. She is too narcissistic to properly assess that her skills are only on the level of a three-legged cat. In the arena with experts like Lin, if it weren't for the secret help of the master Ouchi, she would have died long ago. How terrible it is to overestimate your abilities!
From this we can understand why so many people who come out of big brand companies to start independent businesses ultimately fail? It is because they have inflated confidence and think that the success they did in the past must be due to their strong abilities, but they ignore the support behind the company's platform such as brand, funds, etc. Once you enter the world of society and break away from these invisible supports, you quickly submerge in the lake. Today, entrepreneurship is the pursuit of many young people, which is a gratifying phenomenon. But many people fell down and even became depressed from then on. Therefore, when you think you are very capable and want to change jobs and start your own business independently, you must correctly evaluate your capabilities. Even if you are super capable, don't be too arrogant; even if you are a rich second generation, don't be too arrogant. Compared with the emperor who "is the shore of the four seas, but the king's land", your power, connections, and wealth will be inferior. . Isn't there something that such a noble Ninth Five Supreme Being can't do? Look, his beloved woman left him step by step and came to a little shoemaker's stall. (The plot ends here)
The above insights gained from the film may be far-fetched. Criticisms and corrections are welcome
Two final words I want to say: 1. If you still remember and understand 2 things: 1. Uncle Benshan died at the gate of hell due to a sudden cerebral hemorrhage due to overwork at the end of September last year, 2. , I accepted an interview with Cui Yongyuan after my condition improved slightly in 3 months. In the interview, Teacher Zhao Benshan expressed his future artistic pursuits. He said that after experiencing this serious illness, he thought of death at that time. Fortunately, he survived, and suddenly he had a stronger understanding of life: that is, people are alive. Live happily every day and create more joy for the public. He has not yet recovered from his illness. He worked hard during the filming of "Laughing River" while he was ill. You can have a strong feeling after watching the behind-the-scenes of the filming documentary. When we understand his professionalism and his good intentions of bringing laughter to the audience, we will feel less complaining and more moved. 2. Director Zhu Yanping's last year's work "The Tomb" had nothing to appreciate from an artistic point of view or the connotation of the work. However, this year's "Laughter" has improved a lot. We should affirm his spirit of pursuing continuous progress. When every director pursues continuous self-transcendence, it is the time when domestic films will mature. That is the common expectation of everyone! !
