Before watching this movie, the recommended Weibo said it was an inspirational comedy comparable to "Three Silly", so I spent 3 hours watching it on a boring night. (The network speed is not good, it has been stuck) The story tells that Singer, a computer sales intern, was dissatisfied with the company's sales method. He worked for AYS company during the day and started a business for the rocket sales company at night. He finally won a lot of praise from customers and even beat the computer. The leading AYS company in sales. Later, the AYS boss found out that Singh was not allowed to set foot in the computer sales industry for three years. However, AYS, which acquired the Rocket Company, failed to gain momentum and lifted the restrictions on Singh. Singh and his partners eventually succeeded in starting a business.
The film is based on comedy, without the usual large-scale song and dance performances, the music is still cheerful and bright, and the 156-minute plot is not compact enough, although there are many hilarious points. But the plot is general, and there are some things that can be questioned. The shaping of characters, especially the character and personality of the annual salesman, is not prominent enough. Singh's entanglement and depressed mental state after being excluded from the company's people are not moving enough. The hardships and joys of the entrepreneurial process are only brought by a few minutes of music, which gives the illusion that starting a business is so simple.

In terms of character creation, Singer's father represents a devout believer, warm and simple. Growing up in this family background, Singh placed great emphasis on integrity and inner peace. That's why he escaped from AYS. In the film, after Singh completes the first order, the happy father takes his son to thank God. But Singh felt uneasy and guilty under the gaze of God, and had the idea of ​​confessing to President Poole. Maybe Singh would still be a hard worker at AYS if he hadn't been insulted by Pooley for trying to confess. Religion here leads Singer to the unknown world, but under the watchful eyes of God, Singer does not dare to go against the expectations of God and his father. This may be a power that we cannot comprehend without religious belief.
Nitin is a seasoned salesman, dissatisfied with the president's oppression of him, and joins Rocket Sales, who can make his own decisions. But the process of joining seems to be too straightforward, and it feels like a child's play. It is reasonable and reasonable for Koenna to join because of her promotion. Giri joins because of money, and Chaotra joins because of respect. It is understandable to be afraid of being discovered by the president and wanting to quit many times during the period. And Singer, as a Rockets executive, showed maturity and poise beyond his years. Adhere to rocket sales, spread the 24-hour work, bribery-free sales model, established a good customer relationship and successfully defeated the leading enterprises. When the company encountered difficulties, he bravely took responsibility and protected his partners. These tests may make him either lead the market or plummet. In the words of the president, "up or down."
After watching a movie, there are always some doubts. Why did Singh and Giri use company material so many times that it went undetected? Shouldn't the executive branch have a budget for everyone's information? Why have the partners climbed to the rooftop many times to discuss the company's development plan but were not discovered by the rest of the company? Is it because the concealment is too good, or because other salespeople in the company are not gossipy enough, not careful enough, and have never had an accident? The last incident was actually discovered by the CEO's late-night call? Are the other salespeople qualified? Are these possible coincidences real coincidences, or are they deliberately blocked by the writers? When I was reading the book yesterday, I opened the book to help Mr. Zhao Zhou comment that the author of "Dulala's Promotion" could not write things at the general manager level or above, probably because the author could only be at the manager level at most, and he would only be able to deal with shopping malls at the manager level and above. Can be imitated and copied. Then the screenwriter of "Salesman of the Year" probably didn't really understand the troubles faced by young people in starting a business, and could only pass them through some pictures. And there are many deficiencies in the performance tension of intrigue in the market. The plot is like telling you that it is a beautiful thing for young people to start a business. After giving you a lot of chicken blood, you find that there is absolutely no operation to learn. At the beginning of the film, Singer sells pencils. Nitin takes Singh out for more than ten minutes to describe the work of a salesman. The rest are more emotional descriptions with insufficient expressiveness. As a person who doesn't understand sales and wants to understand sales, watching this movie is probably only misleading.
The film was released in 2009. Judging from the scenes in the film, motorcycles in 2009 were still relatively expensive, and it took Singer's father's life savings to buy a motorcycle. In 2009, India's computer penetration rate was not high, and assembled computers were still touted. The transportation in India is not convenient enough, and the number of parking lots is insufficient. Only 10% of the rich will buy a car. Generally, white-collar workers and urban and rural people generally use motorcycles. Indian motorcycles are also relatively cheap. The computer penetration rate in India is less than 10%, and the Internet speed ranks low in the world. Although India's software industry is developed, the hardware industry is developing more slowly. In recent years, many computer companies, such as Intel and Hewlett-Packard, have gradually shifted their markets from China to India, and Lenovo has also actively explored the computer and mobile phone industries in India.
Motorcycles, computer sales, entrepreneurship, God's guidance, these elements in the film build an Indian society. Although many places do not agree with it, this film can still make you feel that life is beautiful, and you still feel very happy after watching it~
