The annual film meeting cannot be stopped
Today is the last day of the three-day holiday on New Year's Day. The New Year's Day movies are still in full swing, and the fight is in full swing. Unexpectedly, there was a phenomenon of a dominant family on New Year's Day;I didn't expect an originally bland fantasy youth romance film to dominate;What's even more unexpected, the box office of the film accounts for half of the total box office of new films on New Year's Day, more than double that of the second-place "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop". Some netizens joked that a fantasy movie has created a wonderful box office, and Shuangqi Fenghou is about to be recorded in Chinese film history.
The movie "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" was released for 4 days, and it also achieved nearly 2400 million at the box office. Although it ranked second at the box office, it ranked first in terms of word-of-mouth, and it is a high-quality comedy that deserves its name. Because of the film's two absurd and ironic story lines and the workplace characters of the three workers, many workers have a deep understanding. Brother Sheng might as well chat with everyone, which two story lines and which three characters are specific?
The first story line is that Zhuang Zhengzhi wanted to be transferred to the headquarters, so he bribed the leaders of the headquarters through illegal gains, but by mistake, he transferred fitter Hu Jianlin to the headquarters, and was promoted and raised to become an HR employee. However, Ma Jiemingzhe, the deputy head of HR, protects himself and covers up the truth by mistake.
This story line satirizes all kinds of unspoken rules in the workplace, all kinds of related households, all kinds of people who violate the rules of the workplace, all kinds of scheming people and inquire about all kinds of news everywhere. In the previous big factory, Brother Sheng found that a colleague did not come to work all year round, although there was a workplace but it was always empty, but the company never cut off his salary and social security. Sometimes I see this colleague at annual meetings or large-scale events, but he never communicates with his colleagues, only drinks and talks with the leader.
The second story line, the company effect is not working, the headquarters will lay off employees, and the layoff plan is called the "Guangjin Plan". This story line, Brother Sheng, thinks it is based on the layoffs of various large factories today. Because layoffs in large factories are not called layoffs, some are called optimization, some are called business adjustment, and some are called elimination of petty bourgeoisie;There are even shameless large factories that call layoffs "graduation" or "sending talents to society". Anyone who has worked in a large company is probably familiar with their layoffs and runs.
After talking about the two story lines, let's talk about the characters of the three leading actors. The three characters starring Dapeng, Bai Ke, and Zhuang Dafei are three types of migrant workers who are very representative. First of all, Hu Jianlin, played by Dapeng, was promoted from a blue-collar fitter to a white-collar personnel worker, and then a series of unbelievable work statuses, but he was shielded and privately guided by the leader. This is a typical layman who "the leader says you can do it, and if you can't do it", you can do it. In today's officialdom and workplace, there are so many people who are involuntary outsiders in charge of insiders, and there are many people who are more powerful than they are, otherwise the national football team would have advanced to the World Cup long ago.
Secondly, Ma Jie played by Bai Ke, although he looks smooth and obedient on the surface, he is actually an old fritter in the workplace who is upright and not bad in nature. Nowadays, there are such white rabbits in the workplace who are wise and self-protective. This is a typical small leadership mentality of "more is better than less, and if you don't do anything, you will be fine".
Finally, Pan Yiran, played by Zhuang Dafei, although he has ideals, ambitions and drive, and dares to speak and do, he is an expatriate with no identity. Today's officialdom is also full of temporary workers, interns, or unstaffed third-party expatriates. This kind of person is doing the hardest and most tiring work but does not get due rewards and respect, but they always have a dream of looking forward to becoming a positive.
In addition to the three protagonists, such as Zhuang Zhengzhi played by Wang Xun, Pete played by Sun Yizhou, and Xu Yunfeng played by Li Naiwen, they can actually be seen everywhere in today's society. It can be seen that these characters and stories seem to be the people and things around them, which is very immersive, and it is easy to arouse the audience's empathy and resonance. Finally, which character and story in the movie "Can't Stop the Annual Meeting" do you think reminds you of a certain workplace experience?
