The film doubled in the box office of South Korea's local word-of-mouth, ranking first at the box office for half a month.
"Sanzhen Group English TOEIC Class" | 2020
Douban: 7.3
Don't miss this good film because of the name.
The film is based on true events:
Three grassroots female employees of the company discovered a sewage incident in the company's factory.
Can an ephemera shake a tree?
01 company three small ones
The three female protagonists, Xiaomei, are beautiful and have eyes, and they work for a large electronics company in South Korea.
Although I have struggled in the company for many years, I am still only a small clerk because of my high school education, and I do some chores of making coffee and running errands every day.
Even if they are very good and capable.
Big beautiful and creative planning, but can only serve coffee in meetings
Her ideas are often copied by colleagues, but she can't say anything.
Xiaomei is very skilled at playing with computers, but her daily job is to buy cigarettes and leather shoes for male leaders.
But her status was inferior to that of the new male colleague.
The spectacled girl won the Olympiad Mathematics Competition,
But the daily job is to make false accounts and reimburse the leaders' KTV meal bills.
But everything took a turn for the better.
Because the company boss's own son was not angry, the new president also became a foreigner.
Learning English is crucial, and the company issued an announcement saying that english proficiency standards can be promoted and raised.
Many female employees of the company work hard to learn English in order to be promoted, and a group of people go to English TOEIC classes after work.
And the three of them were among them.
Work during the day and attend classes at night to learn English.
Yet one thing changed all that.
02 Factory discharge
Xiaomei goes to the small river outside the company's factory, but accidentally finds that the factory is discharging a kind of black sewage.
Industrial wastewater flows directly into the river where villagers near the factory use water.
Xiaomei quickly reported the matter to the leader.
The leader then began a series of testing investigations, and finally gave the result that the wastewater discharge was within the safe range.
But seeing the skin of the villagers corroding, the dead fish in the river,
Xiaomei felt that things were not so simple.
Three good sisters talked about it at dinner in a tavern.
The spectacled girl used her arcane number to calculate the staggering amount of sewage discharge.
Xiaomei found the institution that did the inspection, and under some questioning, learned that the real value was hundreds of times that given by the company!!
The three were shocked that the company was doing such a harmful thing?
They decided they had to figure out the sewage incident.
The spearhead naturally points to the factory director, the waste son of the boss.
The three of them went to the hotel where the factory director was staying to eavesdrop, and sure enough, the factory director ordered the workers to discharge toxic substances, but he also had a criminal accomplice, that is, the minister of the accounting department where the glasses sister was located.
At this time, the scandal broke out, and the villagers found that there was a foul smell in the tap water and called to complain.
The reporter immediately exposed the sewage discharge incident of Sanzhen Electronics Company's factory on television.
For a time, the company's stock price fell sharply, and it was also subject to investigation by the inspection department.
03 Foreign capital
But the villagers did not receive compensation, and the compensation agreement of the large company was just a piece of paper.
Xiaomei and Damei continue to track down and investigate, but find that the real boss behind the scenes is the new president, the foreigner.
The foreign president has always known that the wastewater discharged from the factory is not up to standard, and he even ordered his subordinates to falsify the test report.
The purpose is to expose this scandal to the media at the right time, to ruin the company's reputation and make its stock price plummet, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
Then he brings capital in and controls the company.
The three discover his plot and quickly work with the boss's waste son to obtain confidential documents from the foreign president.
These secret materials were given to the newspaper, but the newspaper was also bought by the foreign president.
The news was blocked when it was presented to the newsroom and passed directly to the president.
The three become traitors who betray their company, at which point the former minister of the Glasses Sister stands up and takes the blame for their crimes.
Everything is back to square one, the group of people who hold power are still doing their best, but the three of them have become street rats.
Just when the three of them were discouraged, the colleague reached out to them.
A minister assigned this colleague to burn the materials, and she gave them to Damei.
So Xiaomei, Damei and Glasses Sister translated and checked these materials in the English TOEIC class they were studying.
And the company's female colleagues and female leaders who have resigned have come to help them, there are people in the secretary's office, there are also people in the legal department, and everyone seems to form a coalition of women and enemies.
Shattered the foreigner's plan to acquire the company.
The film is based on real events and begins with a factory sewage incident.
Unlike "Blackwater", the whole movie is bloody and inspirational, and the ending is full of emotions.
Through the workplace experience of the three heroines, many social problems are reflected, such as environmental pollution, chaebol monopoly, collusion between government and businessmen, gender discrimination in the workplace and so on.
Han Ying has always been small and broad, and although the ending is a little too idealistic, the blood will still make people tear up.
The despair at the end of "The Melting Pot", this movie may make up for us.
They change the world on their own, and what could motivate us more?
