To be great to pay the price, dry this bowl of poisonous chicken soup for the soul

Want to be great? This is the opening line of most successful studies. Because in the concept of success, it seems that as long as you work hard, you can be successful and great. And most inspirational movies also often tell the story of one after another low-level people climbing to the top through hard work. But in real life, countless people, including myself, often work hard and get nothing, and suffer the pain of not being able to ask for anything every day. Why is the difference so big? After reading this biography of Ray, I suddenly thought: Do you want to be great? Then you have to pay the price. Effort is only a small part of the price.

It was like a deal with God. Want to start a successful business? Then you have to be ready to pay the price of friends turning against each other and losing your dignity and money; do you want to be a successful politician? Then you have to pay the price of being slapped to the end or even assassinated at any time. For specific characters, such as Zeng Guofan, who is determined to become a great saint, he must pay the price of fighting against himself every day. As far as Ray, the protagonist of the movie is concerned, on the road to becoming a great singer, he abandoned the company and old friends that made him, and fought his own drug addiction. This is not a price that ordinary people can afford.

So, do you still want greatness? What price can you pay?

    Jimmy Fox's best actor deserves his name. Li Binghui is also one of those emoji action biopics. What you should do is to restore people instead of creating gods. This film obviously achieves the ratio of music and story. The first half is too full of flashbacks. There's nothing to backtrack halfway through.
