Lala treats pressure and frustration in a positive way, knowing that the obstacles are just many of the hoops she has to jump through.
What will Lala get in the end? Promotion, of course, and also love.
The romantic contenporary Chinese film "Go Lala Go!" centers on Lala's joys and pains as she grows from an office rookie into an HR manager.
The film is adapted from the 2007 best-selling novel "Du Lala's Promotion". The story, about a diligent woman who takes the high way to promotion, has been hailed as a must-read guide for all white-collar workers. "Go Lala Go!" is the fourth feature film of Xu Jinglei as a director. Xu, who is also a popular actress, stars in the film as Lala.
WHAT TO EXPECT
In the film, Lala is apparently a fashionista. That is owed to Oscar-nominated American costume designer Patricia Field, who has been invited to be the film's costume advisor. Field helps create a trendy wardrobe for Lala from which you may also find inspirations for your own.
