2020 is really an unforgettable year for the film industry, in addition to the impact of the epidemic, this year's main theme movies are also particularly special.
The summer file has "Eight Hundred", the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day holiday has "Win the Championship", "My Hometown and Me" and other major plays, and the war blockbuster "King Kong Chuan" released a while ago.
In addition, I recently saw a movie about the main theme of poverty alleviation and prosperity, "Arriving Home at One Point", and the director was Chen Kexin, who had just filmed "Win the Championship" a while ago.
This film tells the story of three young people who work together to start a business and drive their hometown fathers and villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Wei Jinbei is a young man who is keen on entrepreneurship, and he has tried almost every time in recent years, and has always been eager to succeed, but he has tasted the pain of failure.
Peng Xiubing is a young man who came out of the mountains, is willing to do things and is not afraid of hardship. He worked as a courier in Beijing for several years, and every year he was the best employee, hard-working to save 190,000 yuan, planning to return to his hometown to start a business and open a courier company.
When delivering the last courier in Beijing, Wei Jinbei, who could not think of anything for a while, stopped on the roof of the building and persuaded him to go to his hometown of Pu'er, Yunnan Province, to have a look.
Li Shaoqun, another young man in his hometown, was not willing to be forced by his father to grow Pu'er tea, so he rebelliously chose to grow coffee, living alone in the back mountain of the village, almost isolated from the world.
It was in this environment that the three young men met, and the coffee they grew won the silver medal in an international competition. Therefore, they decided to build a local coffee brand in China together and lead the villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich.
The film reaches its climax in the scene of Li Jiaqi's live broadcast of Pu'er coffee, and the new version of "Chinese Partner" with the main theme has since embarked on the peak of life.
The plot of this movie is very simple, but in the simplicity it also reveals the following truths.
First, this year, really anyone can start a business
At the beginning of the film, Wei Jinbei, a veteran entrepreneurial failure, stands on the roof of the office building, staring at the ground under the high-rise building, when he has lost all his thoughts.
As a result, Peng Xiubing, who insisted on perfectly making the last order in Beijing, found the roof and dragged Wei Jinbei back, and while signing for the courier, mentioned that he was about to resign and return to his hometown to start a business.
Hearing this, Wei Jinbei said as if by reflex: "In these years, anyone can really start a business." "
Yeah, now really anyone can start a business!
Different from traditional entrepreneurship, the development of the times and science and technology has greatly reduced the threshold of entrepreneurship, and the choice of entrepreneurship is increasing, providing the possibility of entrepreneurship for thousands of ordinary people.
Do live broadcasting, do self-media, open online stores, and now entrepreneurship is that one person can start.
Only Li Ziqi, who has a primary school education, can start a business, and Li Jiaqi, who graduated from college, can also start a business.
You can start a business with capital investment, and you can start a business from scratch.
Catching up with the outlet can start a business, and without the outlet, you can still start a business.
Workers in big cities often become entrepreneurs when they return to their hometowns.
One person starts a business is to do it alone, and several people start a business and become partners.
Although the success rate of starting a business is only 1%, the temptation to become that one percent is too attractive.
Moreover, there are so many successful industry leaders as role models, from time to time to send entrepreneurs a variety of chicken soup.
For entrepreneurs, the most difficult thing is the first step, when you take the first step of entrepreneurship, you will find that there is nothing.
The courier in Beijing returned to his hometown in Yunnan, and from this moment on, he was a genuine entrepreneur.
Second, it is only the matter that fails, not us who fail
Although Wei Jinbei has repeatedly failed in entrepreneurship, he said the only golden sentence in this movie: "It is only things that fail, not us." "
This sentence may be another expression of the director's spirit of the women's volleyball team in this film.
Any failure is only the failure of one thing, but there are really few people who can see through this.
If you fall into the failure of things and can't come out, it is really a failure of people.
From this point of view, Peng Xiubing, who started a business for the first time, can be said to be the best in this movie.
After experiencing a collective return incident, the entrepreneurial cost saved before lost a lot. Wei Jinbei had already lost all confidence in being hit by the defeat, and shouted out again and again: "You have failed, you can't do it." "
Li Shaoqun is the same, he has the courage to fight against his father, and has the perseverance to study and grow coffee alone for many years, but he does not have the courage to face failure.
In this entrepreneurial trio, Peng Xiubing is the main backbone, always adheres to his dream, and vows from the beginning not only to start a business after returning to his hometown, but also to bring the villagers to get rich together.
Wei and Li were very excited when they saw success, and when they encountered failure, they hung their heads in frustration, and they could only help the wind, but they could not withstand failure.
Entrepreneurship is a very low probability of success, success is luck, failure is the norm.
In the process of chasing dreams, things can fail, but people can't.
When you start a business, you must stand up straight and don't lie down.
Third, the values of the team determine how far entrepreneurship can go
After the coffee grown has a certain popularity, the international mainstream coffee company Xingque proposed to acquire the plantation at a high price and required to grow coffee according to the company's standards.
Faced with the temptation of interests, the entrepreneurial trio collapsed in an instant, and Wei Jinbeidu was eager to sell for profit, and tried to persuade his friends to sign a contract.
Peng and Li refused and insisted on growing their own coffee, causing Wei Jinbei to leave in anger and return to Beijing.
In entrepreneurship, there are countless teams as well, and founders can share hardships and hardships, but there are often huge differences in which development path to take after the company grows, and how to choose in the face of capital acquisition.
Inconsistent values, less than one piece of strength, is also the most common problem in the process of entrepreneurship.
Of course, in this film, a happy ending is still needed, and Wei Jinbei finally realized that he returned to the team.
However, this return is far-fetched and so awkward, it seems to be purely for sensationalism.
It seems that the difference in values can also be covered up with the feelings of good friends.
Anyway, as long as the ending is happy, nothing else is a matter.
Write at the end:
Chen Kexin is also the director of the film "Chinese Partner", which was released a few years ago, and this "Arriving Home at One Point" clearly has the same style. Especially at the end, countless young faces returning to their hometowns are full of pictures, telling their stories.
This is a movie with only a male protagonist and no female protagonist, which does not involve a little love, purely the feelings of three good friends, and the passion of entrepreneurship.
The whole film is full of the cheerful rhythm of light comedy from beginning to end, the trio's entrepreneurship is smooth, if there is divine help, even the piglet can speak human words and point out the wind outlet, and the conflict in the film is more like being forced into it for the sake of need.
The film also deals with various practical problems such as rural aging and hollowing out, and mentions the theme of a new era of transforming industries, attracting young people to return to their hometowns, creating jobs, and jointly getting rid of poverty and getting rich.
It's just that the name of the movie, "Arriving Home at One Point", makes it difficult to associate with coffee growing entrepreneurship, and in this regard, it is not as good as "Chinese Partner".
In terms of the shooting level of the film, it can only be said that the consistent level of the director is maintained, and from the perspective of creative value, it seems to be very strong.
Overall, this is a small-cost main theme movie, relying on a few small traffic small fresh meat to attract attention, the overall decent, not many highlights, no wonder the Douban score is only 7.0 points.
