However, I consider Xu Jinglei and Mo Wenwei to be very talented and beautiful women. This movie tried to show us some kind of exciting and positive spirit among the so-called white-collar workers in a Chinese metropolitan city, but it failed. I couldn’t sense anything exciting in it at all. Perhaps it’s because Xu and the other creators of this movie themselves have never worked as white-collar employees in large, highly competitive companies; they simply can’t imagine what it’s like. They’re not professionals. To back up my opinion, I’ve reviewed some movies in which I could truly feel that exciting spirit. A typical example is “In Good Company.” It’s a comedy, but after watching it again, I became instantly fascinated and kept watching until the end. I think this is what really matters for a movie. Another example is a Japanese drama titled “Supplement,” starring the very popular actor Kamenashi Kazuya and actress Misaki Ito. I have to admit that we Easterners are less aggressive than Westerners. Generally speaking, competition in Japanese companies isn’t as fierce as that in American companies, so it’s not surprising that this drama lacks that sense of business urgency found in “In Good Company.” But it’s still far better than “Go Lala Go.” Perhaps Xu should take inspiration from these Japanese or Korean dramas. After all, we’re all Easterners with similar cultural backgrounds.
