Lead doesn't translate well

I downloaded and watched this movie after seeing a list of 20 commercial movie recommendations. To be honest, this movie is far worse than Wall Street 1 and 2, The Big Short, The Wolf of Wall Street, Silicon Valley Legends, Social Networks, etc.

There are so many big-name movies that make people feel unintelligible. Can it inspire and inspire? Neither seems to be. In a real estate sales company, there are several very old salesmen, which is completely different from the situation in which the real estate companies are mostly young people in our life, and it is not in line with the real situation. I think no matter which country in the world, the sales force must be mostly young people. In addition, there is nothing special about its storyline. In short, in my eyes, it is a very mediocre film, but from the perspective of practicing English listening, it is a film worthy of being stored on a hard drive. It is full of vulgarity. Obscene swearing is no less than The Wolf of Wall Street.

Finally, let's talk about translation. The Chinese subtitles of the film I downloaded were provided by the film and television empire. The translation level is generally good, but the lead/leads that appeared countless times were not translated accurately. The subtitles translated them as "business", which actually means "Customer information/list", the salesperson only becomes a business after contacting the customer based on this lead and finally reaching a business. Because leads are just information, a character in the film complains that the leads he has been assigned have no value, and he hopes to get more valuable leads. This lead frequently appears in B2B websites such as Alibaba and Global Sources, which refers to customer inquiries, that is, the meaning of purchases issued by customers.

    David Mamet's Pulitzer Prize-winning screenplay. After being adapted into a movie, it is still very staged. It is true that all the movie stars are playing together. Al Pacino and Kevin Spacey are both actors who are obsessed with drama, and they swear like a lot of cannons, but the movie lacks integrity. 1992 was a period of depression for American real estate, and it was not until 2000 that it ushered in the biggest take-off and bubble in history.

    A film adapted from a stage play, with a simple plot. too realistic. Too depressing.
