Recently, the entrepreneurial documentary film "Randian" was released in theaters nationwide. Luo Yonghao, one of the protagonists in the film, appeared in the public eye for the first time after Hammer fell into financial trouble. Facing the camera, Lao Luo said frankly: "I have not disappeared, but I am too busy with work and have no time to communicate with my friends."

Regarding the film "Randian", Luo Yonghao believes that it is a very meaningful film. A valuable documentary. He hopes that everyone can go to the cinema to watch "watching on the big screen is still different from watching short videos online."

In addition, Lao Luo also heard that this documentary has relatively few movie theaters scheduled, and hopes that theater managers will learn more about the situation and schedule more movies for it. "I believe its box office will not be bad." When this film was made, the company was in trouble, so it is a very magical film." "Randian" is an entrepreneurial documentary film focusing on the field of mobile Internet. It took 14 months and tracked the record. It describes the entrepreneurial journeys of 14 founders of startup companies that are currently the most talked about.

The founders of these 14 startups are:

Luo Yonghao, founder of Smartisan Technology, Dai Wei, founder of ofo, Zhang Ying, founding managing partner of Matrix Partners China, Papi, founder of papitube, Cheetah Mobile founder Fu Sheng, grassroots entrepreneur An Chuandong, SoYoung Technology founder Jin Xing, Miguo Culture founder Ma Weiwei, ZhenFund founder Xu Xiaoping, Momo Technology founder Tang Yan, Lagou.com founder Xu Dandan, Sun Haitao, founder of 51 Credit Card, Meng Lei, founder of Huang Charter Travel, and Pan Fei, CEO of Huang Charter Travel.

If it were not for the movie "Randian", many people would not know that Luo Yonghao, who has been popular for more than ten years with his speeches, is actually afraid of giving a speech to tens of thousands of people;

If it were not for this movie In the movie "Randian", many people can't imagine that Internet celebrity Papi Jiang lives in Shanghai with her 60-year-old mother in a stairwell of less than 30 square meters on the 6th floor;

If it weren't for the movie "Randian" 》, many people have never known that the plastic surgery industry can be so profitable, and of course the risks are also very high...

Life is not easy, and starting a business is even harder. Why do so many people choose to start a business? Walking on this arduous and lonely road...

Luo Yonghao: The middle-aged version of small town youth entrepreneurship

Xu Xiaoping, founder of ZhenFund, said in the movie "Randian": " Entrepreneurs must be the most anxious group of people, but don’t forget that they are also the idols and heroes of this era and the most glorious people.”

Luo Yonghao is such an entrepreneur. If he didn't start a business or cross-border mobile phone business, Luo Yonghao could be a decent "talk show internet celebrity" by virtue of his "unique talent" in cross talk, and his life could be very nourishing.

Of course, for his ideals and his feelings, after using a hammer to smash a Siemens refrigerator to protect his rights, Luo Yonghao founded Hammer Technology in Beijing in 2012, starting his roller coaster entrepreneurial journey.

This young man from a small town who dropped out of Yanbian High School in Jilin and another racing driver who dropped out of high school later met through writing and even became friends.

In the first few years, Luo Yonghao laid out carpets, sold mutton skewers, and bought medicinal materials... He did almost everything he could, until he went to New Oriental to teach English, and his quotations were all over Netflix , became the earliest internet celebrity overnight.

After disagreeing with New Oriental’s philosophy, Luo Yonghao founded Niubo.com and also opened Lao Luo English Training School. Later, he crossed over to the mobile phone industry and established the controversial Smartisan Technology.

It takes great courage to start a business when you reach middle age.

When faced with a crisis, Luo Yonghao once thought of committing suicide, but he still survived until now. He said in the movie "Randian": "I am not doing it to make money or face, I just like it, otherwise I won't be able to survive.

”

An Chuandong: The only way to start a business is to start a business in the countryside you can’t go back to, and the city you can’t stay in.

In the film, Zhang Ying from the investment institution Matrix Partners China talks to An Chuandong, a grassroots entrepreneur. Dong asked questions like a machine gun, and the information output was very dense and as sharp as a knife. It directly hit the entrepreneurial pain points of the small town young man An Chuandong, forcing him to the "corner" without any ability to resist.

People who have watched the movie must have been deeply impressed by this scene. Unlike Luo Yonghao and others, An Chuandong, a young man from a small town, has almost no background or accumulation. After graduating from Renmin University of China, He resolutely chose the path of entrepreneurship.

Regarding entrepreneurship, Luo Yonghao said, "Think clearly before starting a business." Obviously, An Chuandong, who was born in the 1990s, did not have a deep understanding of entrepreneurship, nor did he have a clear idea. The direction and even the positioning are not clear, and it feels like starting a business for the sake of starting a business.

An Chuandong’s entrepreneurial project is a "first-class restaurant". The ideal is very rich, but the reality is very basic. , Restaurant Enjoy has not started yet, it is actually a "small marketing company" that helps restaurants make short videos to make a living

This entrepreneur from rural Henan is faced with the high housing prices in metropolitan cities. , the expenses are like running water. In the film, he is worried about the extra 200 yuan in electricity bills a month. This is very different from the entrepreneurs on the Internet who have received millions of financing.

An in the film. Chuandong did not receive financing and had no way to continue, so he had to stop the "*** restaurant" project. When he returned to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, a relative and friend of An Chuandong said to the camera: "He doesn't know how to grow now. He doesn’t have land and doesn’t know how to do farm work. What can he do when he comes back? ”

The rural areas that cannot be returned to, the cities that cannot be left behind. The young people in small towns who are wandering in the middle zone between big cities and rural areas can never look back. Only entrepreneurship can break the gradually solidified Only by ascending the path can you achieve your life goals and return home in glory one day in the future.

In the eyes of many people, An Chuandong and others are a group of young people who are ignited by the dream of entrepreneurship and move forward bravely. Fearless. And the reality is so cruel. An Chuandong is not alone, he is Luo Yonghao in his youth...

Not everyone is suitable for entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship, For Luo Yonghao, it is to realize his ideal. If he had to do it again, he would still choose to start a business.

After watching the movie "Randian", it was actually not that "burning", and even a bit "flat". In a 90-minute movie, the story of 14 entrepreneurs cannot be unfolded. For the audience, the main line of entrepreneurship is a bit fragmented, and it is not satisfying.

But the flaws are not hidden. When watching this movie, many viewers in the theater cried several times. Perhaps they saw their own shadows in the entrepreneurs, or perhaps the shadows of familiar people.

For me, the movie is the best. It leaves people with more thoughts and revelations: In this era of entrepreneurship, which is endowed with many legends and dreams, is entrepreneurship suitable for everyone?

For most people, it is still necessary. Treat entrepreneurship rationally and do not blindly follow the trend.

There is a statistic in the movie "Randian": only 3,97 of the startups survived for more than 3 years.

Faced with this. The failure rate is high. If you want to start a business, you really need to think carefully before deciding whether to start a business.

Entrepreneurship is a tribulation that comes one after another. Every difficulty is a calamity.

Among the entrepreneurial tycoons who stand at the top, which one has not survived life and death disasters again and again, and finally became a tycoon?

There are many choices in life, and starting a business is not the only way to Rome. The one that suits you is the best!

Jingwei Zhang Ying wrote on Weibo: Everyone can find their own answers from "Randian", about dreams and reality, about success and failure, about work and life...

Perhaps, the movie "Randian" can give you the answer. Although it is not perfect, it is very real.

PASS: This entrepreneurial documentary has very few theaters scheduled. Even the better theaters are full. Can theater managers schedule more films to get year-end bonuses?
