"Naoki Hanzawa" is back?!
Sir was startled as soon as he opened the cast list.
Even the director is the same.
They are all old acquaintances, and Sir does not sell Guanzi anymore.
Directly to the poster.
"Seven Meetings"
Seven Meetings
Almost copied half of the cast of Naoki Hanzawa.
The old-faced Teruyuki Kagawa, Mitsuhiro Kawa, Ai-nosuke Kataoka, Shinya Kitaoji, Hiroyuki Okada.....
You say you don't remember?
Go to the stills first to find the feeling.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Naoki Hanzawa" is one of the biggest hits in a decade of Japanese dramas.
Sakai Masato is of course on top of the sky, but the behind-the-scenes heroes are indispensable to the director team.
The style is the most distinctive, Fukuzawa Katsuo.
The narrative density is high and the pace is fast.
The movie "Seven Meetings" is based on the 2013 NHK four-episode TV series of the same name.
Time is shortened. While ensuring the character shaping, the story line needs to fluctuate in a short period of time.
The compact workplace slice is exactly where Katsuo Fukuzawa excels.
Just look at the opening.
The meeting of the Tokyo Construction Electric Power Group is about to begin.
Without any introduction, a cutscene has already explained the situation clearly.
First, Minister Kitagawa (Teruyuki Kagawa), who is the "class teacher", appears.
The "student" was as well-behaved as his subordinates, bending down and bowing to say hello.
Suddenly, the back door of the conference room was opened.
The "headmaster", The executive chairman of Irida (Played by Akishi Shikaga), sits on a stool at the back door.
Even if you don't remember a name, you already understand their status, which is higher and lower.
Among the subordinates, this group was divided into two groups.
One group is the group that sells outdated home appliances, the slag group.
In the face of the class teacher's questioning of next month's KPI, the group leader Harajima (and Mitsuhiro Kawa) used all the expressions of his facial features and gritted his teeth to report...
2...... 2000 units!
Looking at the expression behind him that can't pull out the, you know that it is impossible.
Another group did the opposite.
They are responsible for large customers such as airplanes and train seats, and the Xueba group.
Speaking at the conference, the leader of the school leader, Sakamoto (Ainosuke Kataoka), said only one word.
Words that make the eyes of all people in the workplace shine:
We completed KPIs for 35 consecutive months~
It's clear at a glance which one is useful and which is wasteful.
But there are "undercovers" in such an excellent group of scholars.
Classmates who sleep in class——
Octagon Mino (Nomura Manzai) belongs to the kind of class teacher who does not care, the group leader hates, and the performance appraisal is not good.
In the money-making group, it is almost a money-losing commodity.
Others work overtime, he leaves work; others work overtime, he takes leave, and he still has a straight face.
Finally, the leader of the group, Sakamoto, couldn't help but teach him a lesson.
"It's better to be a burden like you, or to die early."
The octagon did not show weakness, and decided to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and let the group leader pay the price.
He was going to the Ministry of Personnel to sue Sakamoto for workplace violence.
Where does the confidence come from?!
The whole sales department is waiting to see his jokes, who knows...
The results came out, and Sakato was dismissed, directly from the sales department to the personnel department.
The position shall be taken over by the leader of the slag team.
Undercover success.
But when the crane tail bypassed the former team leader and came to the new team leader with a vacation slip, it was a blessing.
Sir is as puzzled as you are, why?
The drama has only just begun here.
Workplace films, transformed into spy films.
The pace is faster and the density is soaring.
Directors can always make the workplace sword and light sword shadow exciting, relying on details.
Sir also remembers "Naoki Hanzawa", because of a customer's words, Hanzawa can judge the colleagues who are looking forward to replacing his position.
I haven't even seen a customer's face.
Thus in the debate, win the next game,

The Seven Conferences are even more pronounced.
At the second conference, after the leader of the slag group took over the group, the turnover plummeted.
For the first time, the record for consecutive monthly KPIs was broken.
In the face of the minister's questioning, this time the original island did not panic.
Instead, I threw up.
When he returned to his seat, the chair collapsed for him.
There were broken screws scattered on the side.
Just hilarious?
No.
Notice the look in the eyes of two of them.
The minister, staring dead at the octagon at the tail of the crane; the lazy octagon, for the first time revealed fear.
Obviously it was the group leader who fell, what was the tension between them?
Don't worry, look further down.
Octagon is a waste salesman known among suppliers.
After the original team leader was transferred, Octagon actually found the less efficient supplier - LuoLiu Company.
Let this small, backward company re-manufacture for them from the screws of home appliances and furniture to train and plane seats.
For what?
In the customer's opinion, he is such a person, must be for kickbacks.
But when the snail six boss took the sample from the octagon and put it on the detector to detect the screw tension.
- "Gah".
The screw that shouldn't have been broken, broken.
On the other hand, the customer complaint department of the head office also found clues.
The problem also points to the screws.
Customer: The stool is broken, a closer look found that the screw is broken
Screws, what went wrong?
(The following contains spoilers and can be eaten by detour)
A good workplace film never stays in the fragments of the workplace.
The way "Seven Meetings" enters is a suspenseful spy war.
The climax of tearing apart is a gloomy power struggle.
Rout from the bottom, uncover the corruption of the upper layer mechanism.
Start with a screw.
In order to find out the small action of re-changing the supplier of the octagon, the leader of the slag team discovered the secrets of the high-level in the process of tracking the octagon and tracing the roots.
The reason why the performance of the former team leader is the first all year round is that the secret is to reduce the cost.
And this layer of moisture squeeze, is hidden in those inconspicuous screws.
(Screws) only reached half the strength
We go back to the very beginning, when Soft Egg Hara island sat on a stool and wrestled out of the mess.
The stool was made by Tokyo Construction Company itself.
The screws on this batch of stools are all from the same supply company.
Tomei Technology.
So, what the top management wants to hide is only the problem of the small screws on a few stools that are not qualified?
Think about who else they have business with.
They provide seats on trains and planes across the country.
The screws of these alloy metals should have a tensile force of 130 Newtons, but they detected only 70.5, less than half of them.
Imagine.
A train or an airplane that is running suddenly breaks because of a chair screw.
Disastrous.
And Octagon was the first to know about it.
After reporting to the superior Minister Kitagawa.
The top management also actively used countermeasures to find a way to thoroughly investigate this batch of unqualified screws.
The premise is that the ugliness of the family must not be publicized-
Replace Sakado Chief with the excuse of "professional violence";
Stop cooperating with Dongming Technology and switch to a company with higher costs.
On the surface, the octagon is a blessing, but in fact, he is making up the pot for the company.
Unfortunately, the lost sheep made up for it.
Unqualified screws that have been put into use, not withdrawn.
Because of the withdrawal of this batch of screws, the amount of compensation that the company wants to compensate is about 20 billion yen.
Enough to bankrupt the company.
Is it the survival of the company or the choice of human life?
The Seven Conferences didn't make a judgment so easily.
Instead, another concept is given.
The afterglow outside the workplace eventually falls on human nature.
Is it to pursue loyalty to Bushido, or to uphold social justice?
This has always been a simple multiple choice question.
The American anthropologist Ruth Benedict wrote the book "Chrysanthemum and the Knife", which analyzed his analysis of Japan in his eyes.
One paragraph points out that in traditional Japanese culture, there is always a tendency between "righteousness" and "justice":
Because of this Japanese outlook on life, it is difficult for Westerners to understand Japanese folk myths, novels, and dramas unless they are rewritten, as we often do, in order to meet our requirement of consistent character and the fight between good and evil. However, the Japanese do not see it that way. Their comments revolve around the protagonist's fall into the contradiction of "righteousness and human feelings", "loyalty and filial piety", and "righteousness and duty". The protagonist's failure is due to the fact that he indulges in human feelings and ignores the obligation of "righteousness"... He was forced by "righteousness" to do justice, and he was forced to sacrifice his family because of righteousness.
The "Seven Conferences" decided to take the two out and put them back on the celestial fir.
Loyalty is the credo of a large Japanese corporation.
Militarized management, brainwashing chicken blood, all employees must be loyal to the company, for the benefit of the company, and pay for the life is not spared.
For the social animals among them, there is only the word "obedience" because they have no choice.
I used to think that I was trying to get promoted and obey my superiors
These are the duties of adults
I enshrine them as the laws of workplace survival
Endured until now
The spirit of Bushido makes such an island country that should have a loose personality.
In terms of company culture, there is a huge cohesion.
The company and employees have become a relationship of protection and protection.
The company does not easily dismiss employees, and employees have the concept of swearing allegiance to the company.
We are an island nation with no resources
To be able to join the ranks of developed countries
This corporate culture is indispensable
When the board decided to put the scandal down.
The Minister of Octagon and Kitagawa was divided into two factions.
One is that the single-handed decision to poke the lie.
On the other side are the old courtiers who are loyal to the company.
When Kitagawa was in the office, crying and shouting angrily.
It is enough to show how strong his faith is, and how hard the sting of his faith collapse is.
Finally, when he was holding a defective screw to give evidence to the octagon.
Hands, trembling.
I didn't expect to betray the company, and my hand would shake so badly
A company, into the screw, also screws.
In "Naoki Hanzawa", the screw becomes the driving force for his revenge.
In "Seven Meetings", the screw has also become the last conscience in a traditional Japanese company.
The appearance of screws has always been inconspicuous.
But the symbols in movies and TV series are particularly consistent.
It is uniform, cheap, prolific, and devoid of personality, like countless social animals with blurred faces.
But they are the foundation of a company, the foundation of society as a whole.
In the Japanese drama version of "Seven Meetings", the head of the Harajima Section who runs to the Luoliu Factory watches these craftsmen carefully check the appearance of each screw.
Bowed deeply for them.
It's respect for the screws, and it's also respect for this group of people.
Quell the infinite cult of big business.
A touch of returning to the "human-oriented".
The group of screws that were hidden behind the machine.
There will always be a moment to be the protagonist.
