Pre-sales of the absurd comedy movie "The Birth of a Department" opens and officially releases on June 27

Hong Kong-style black comedy "Birth of a Department" pre-sale opened today, and released "online waiting for you" special video and pre-sale opening map. The film is composed and directed by Mai Tianshu, starred by Bai Zhi, Mai Peidong, Liang Yongting and Dai Yuqi, specially performed by Liao Ziyu, Xie Junhao and Bao Qijing, starred by Xie Yongxin, Wu Yongshi, Deng Yueping and Lu Wanyin. With an absurd "cancellation storm" as the main story line, the film tells the story of young Dezi's repeated application for cancellation, but he encounters complicated and rigid procedures, prevarication and perfunctory attitude, repeatedly hits the wall, and finally loses control of emotion in helplessness and depression. A story of a bizarre robbery that somehow triggered the attention of the city. As a high-quality new film shortlisted in the Asian Newcomer Unit of the Golden Jue Award of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, the film has attracted much attention since the preparatory stage. The film focuses on the plight of ordinary people. It was screened in the second round in Guangdong and Guangxi from June 22 to 26 and officially released on June 27.

Focus on the real ecology of the workplace and unlock the hidden shortcomings of the working population

The special video "Waiting for You Online" released today brings a sense of contrast and critical impact in the form of a fake recruitment advertisement: on the surface, one must be good at communication, but in fact it is verbal pressure; on the surface, one must solve the problem of unsubscription, but in fact everyone here is a black-hearted victim... This seemingly decent "recruitment notice" is the ultimate deconstruction of the formal workplace and redundant internal friction system in the film. The entire trailer uses the calmest lens to tell the most ridiculous workplace stories, bringing the essence of Hong Kong-style absurd comedy to the extreme. The pre-sale opening pictures released simultaneously are created in a retro collage art style, and the main color of bright yellow has a strong visual impact. The picture incorporates vintage objects such as old-fashioned TVs and remote controls, and matches the characters and interesting dolls in the film, echoing the core of the film's unsubscribe information and story. The overall atmosphere is lively and vivid, conveying the comedy tone of the film.
