When I saw the news that Chen Kun's new drama "Win or Lose" was going to start broadcasting on the hot search, I immediately set an alarm clock and planned to watch it on time.
After all, the lineup of this drama is really strong, director Zhang Li has made a high-scoring divine work "Towards the Republic", "Daming Dynasty 1566" and "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", the male and female protagonists Chen Kun and Xin Zhilei have good acting skills, as well as Wang Xuexi, Lü Zhong, Wang Qingxiang and other old drama bones, which can be described as a divine lineup.
However, after watching the first two episodes, I felt very disappointed, and people couldn't believe that this was actually the hand of director Zhang Li.
"Win or Lose" is a workplace business drama focusing on the sales industry, telling the story of how young people in the sales industry in the Internet era face difficulties and how to break the situation.
Zhou Rui (Chen Kun), sales director of the East China branch of Jieke Company, was ordered by his master Jieke CEO Chen Mingkai (Wang Xuexi) to come to the Beijing headquarters to save the company's declining sales year after year and the imminent acquisition of the company.
If Zhou Rui wants to solve the crisis, he must get an order from the logistics company O&T, but the project has been followed for a long time, and his sudden appearance is not popular with Beijing employees, and he is full of planning but no one is available.
At the same time, Luo Jia (Xin Zhilei), the sales director of Wellcome, a fierce rival of Jieke, is also bound to win O&T's order.
The industry is known as the rumor of "South Zhou Rui, North Luo Jia", Zhou Rui does not dare to underestimate Luo Jia, can only play cards according to common sense, for Jieke to seek a glimmer of life.
Zhou Rui and Luo Jia were gradually attracted to each other in one confrontation after another.
Business war dramas are relatively rare in domestic dramas, because this type of drama is too difficult to control, and if you are not careful, you may be made into a suspension drama that is divorced from reality.
"Win or Lose" also inevitably makes such a mistake, just the first two episodes, there are many plot bugs, embarrassingly eager to use their toes to cut out a mansion.
Zhou Rui came to the headquarters to take over the O&T project, found that the previous project book was old and uncompetitive, he proposed to redo it, but the employees objected.
At the final O&T bid evaluation meeting, Jieke handed over the original project book, and Zhou Rui knew that if he took the project book out to compete in this way, Jieke would undoubtedly lose.
In order to reverse the defeat, Zhou Rui burned the project book with a lighter in front of O&T boss Du Heng (Lu Fangsheng) and all his peers.
To tell the truth, when I saw this, I was speechless.
It should be common sense that open fires are prohibited in offices, right? The TV series filmed this plot, and they were not afraid of being warned by the fire?
And if you want to destroy the project book, you don't have to burn it, tear it up, throw it in the trash, or break it with a shredder, it's okay, and the cool point hasn't weakened by half a point.
It can only be said that this plot is too imprecise.
Zhou Rui successfully won a chance for Jieke with his unexpected move and sincere words, and O&T asked Jieke and Wellcome to conduct a technical test PK to see the technical strength of the two companies.
In order to make Wellcome win bigger, Luo Jia set up overclocking, which can increase the operating speed, but at the same time, it will greatly reduce the stability, if the running time is too long, there will be a big problem.
At the test PK site, Zhou Rui saw at a glance that Wellcome had set up overclocking, and watched wellcome run at a speed that greatly exceeded Thatke, and won the praise of O&T BOSS Du Heng.
Therefore, after the first round of PK, Zhou Rui called Luo Jia out alone, and after the communication was fruitless, he picked up Luo Jia and locked her in the grocery store where she could not receive the signal.
Back at the PK scene, Zhou Rui suggested that Du Heng change the original 30-minute test time to 50 minutes, and the Wellcome people disagreed, but they could not contact the principal Luo Jia, and could only compromise.
In the second round of PK, Wellcome did have a problem, and Jieke won.
Seeing this plot, I was even more speechless than I was just now.
Shopping mall fights sometimes do take extreme measures, but is it really appropriate for Zhou Rui as the male protagonist to lock up competitors for fifty minutes in order to win?
And Zhou Rui's setting is that although he always makes amazing moves, he always has his own professional principles and will not do anything to get orders.
Because of this, he also opened a subordinate who had followed him for four years but violated the principles of sales.
Since Zhou Rui's human design is principled, then he should not do such an unscrupulous thing as locking up Luo Jia, isn't this a collapse of human design?
In addition, this plot is also a little speechless, Zhou Rui took Luo Jia away in front of the well-being people, and then only Zhou Rui came back alone, and Luo Jia did not come back, and no one even suspected Zhou Rui.
Two people go out together, one comes back, the other doesn't come back, and the first reaction is not to ask the person who came back?
But everyone was like a collective amnesia, and no one asked Zhou Rui why Luo Jia didn't come back, which was speechless.
And Luo Jia was gone, and the wellcome people only knew that they were standing in the same place and anxious to call and send messages, and none of them wanted to say that they were looking around, so luo Jia disappeared for fifty minutes.
On such an important occasion, the fool also knew that Luo Jia would not disappear for no reason, but the Wellcome people neither looked for nor asked, only knew that they were in a hurry, and this reduction of wisdom was also no one.
In order to create a cool point and highlight the protagonist, "Win or Lose" has set up many irrational plots, and deliberately let the supporting characters down, making the whole drama full of loopholes and suspension false, which is why I feel disappointed.
In fact, the lineup of this drama is so strong, if the plot is not pulled down, it can make a high-quality drama.
If nothing else, just cast.
Chen Kun plays the male protagonist Zhou Rui, who has strong business ability and often does not play cards according to common sense, but has his own professional principles, is very unaccustomed to some peers doing whatever it takes for performance, and is a person who looks like he is angry but sticks to the bottom line.
I have to say that Chen Kun is very suitable for the role of Zhou Rui, he wears a suit and carries a computer bag, handsome and neat, very good for the elite in the workplace.
Xin Zhilei plays the heroine Luo Jia, she is fierce, straightforward and capable, can do whatever it takes for the sake of performance, and at the same time is a very smart and skillful person.
In fact, Luo Jia's people are very common in workplace dramas, but Xin Zhilei's performance makes Luo Jia show a different charm, and the strong woman personality and femininity are both beautiful, which makes people shine.
In addition to Chen Kun and Xin Zhilei, Chen Mingkai played by Wang Xuexi, Du Heng played by Lu Fangsheng, and Lin Zhenwei played by Zhang Zijian are also very good, acting skills online, and personalities are distinct.
Almost every role in "Win or Lose" is selected very appropriately, which is very rare in the current situation where many drama parties use their feet to select actors.
It's just a pity that the actors are good actors, but the plot is too collapsed, the logic loopholes are full of loopholes, the plot is suspended and false, and such a good lineup is wasted in vain.
