Two days ago, Sir wrote a New Year's file.
Although this schedule is still there, the real "Lunar New Year" film has not been seen for many years.
What is a Chinese New Year card?
In Sir's understanding, there should be talking and laughing, so that we who are tired all year round can feel comfortable.
At the same time, it also has the nature of a summary statement, which is in line with the collective mood of the moment and condenses the voices of the people.
The most classic, like this:
"1997 is behind and I miss it. ”
has foreshadowed so much, is there a drama in this year's New Year's film?
To tell the truth, Sir has already seen it in advance:
Or a beer field.
Drinking beer, watching movies, laughing and scolding.
It's also so cool:
The annual meeting can't be stopped!
01
Unexpectedly, it was these two dicks who won
Sir can pat his chest and say that this movie is definitely a comedy without water.
director, Dong Runnian, the last "The Man Caught by the Light", demonstrated the meaning of "true love" in a brain-opening way;
As the screenwriter of "Blooming Heart" and "Crazy Alien", the comedic effect produced by the collision of different elements in it is really strong.
actors, not to mention.
Inside, you can basically find people who are strongly associated with comedy at the moment.
(almost in an industry) talk show actor Tong Monan, Boss Shi and Six Beasts of Shan Liren, Da Mu and Huang Huang, who are comics, are all in it.
came out of the "Annual Comedy Contest", with "playing dogs" as the comedy style: "Three Dogs Combination" Song Muzi, He Wenjun, and Li Fei also came;
Not to mention, starring Bai Ke and Dapeng (in no particular order).
These two were the two male protagonists in the two most popular comedy web dramas "Never Expected" and "Dick Silk Man": In this cooperation between Wang Da Hammer and Dick Silk Man, it is even more ecstatic for the double chefs.
And the story content of this movie can be summed up in a short sentence:
Unexpectedly, this dick man actually reached the peak of his life.
Let's start with the story.
Hu Jianlin (played by Dapeng), a senior fitter who has worked in the factory for half his life, was suddenly transferred to the headquarters company to sit in the office, and he still worked in an HR position.
Will he do this job?
He'll be, will, he'll be a fart.
Moreover, at the cusp of his entry, it was the headquarters company that was preparing to lay off 7,000 employees in order to transform.
The high-level named this plan "Guangjin Plan", and there was a pun to break the homophonic stalk:
Layoffs (financial resources) are widely advanced.
Therefore, Hu Jianlin's entry at this time must be greasy behind this.
Ma Jie (played by Bai Ke), who is in charge of personnel transfer, knew that he was going to transfer such a person, and his "professional ethics" told him that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
If you don't know what the leader's intentions are, then speculate on the leaders' intentions.
I don't know who is coming, so hold this person.
The first trick in the workplace, the word "licking", is absolutely right.
Therefore, when they met, it was supposed to be the gesture of the manager meeting his subordinates, but it became a large-scale famous scene of flattery.
Ma Jie's opening remarks are an expression of his heart's ardent hope...... Jingle.
Hope for the stars and the moon
Looking forward to the sun rising from the mountains
You will be my subordinate from now on
Not long after Hu Jianlin came, Ma Jie gradually discovered the cattiness inside.
It turns out that there is really a "mastermind behind the scenes" behind this matter.
What it is, you can buy your own tickets and see.
In order to hide the secret behind Hu Jianlin, Ma Jie never let Hu Jianlin do the work of the HR department.
Too much work, what to do?
Please ask for outside help.
From the Xi of the outsourcing company (which is also the lowest position in the workplace), a girl with good business ability and active work is found: Penny.
The ability to work is strong, but it can't always be turned into a regular.
As a post-00s, I always like to rectify the workplace.
Oh, that's their "golden trio".
Hu Jianlin, born in the 70s, is a simple worker who has no concept of workplace survival rules;
Ma Jie, born in the 80s, is an old fritter in the workplace who picks up both home and work;
The rebellion of the post-00s, the "rebellious" young man who rectified the workplace;
is a small transparency in the workplace, but in the end, it kicked out the biggest inside story of the company hidden in this "gold and jade, and ruined".
And in the process, there are plenty of jokes generated.
To be honest, the trailer of "Annual Meeting" is really too subtle, and it can't give you "spoilers" for the funny places in the movie.
But, don't worry, Sir took the lead first, and the burden of shaking here is really loud.
As the saying goes, there is;
Unexpected jokes, there are;
The dormitory given to Hu Jianlin by the headquarters is a model house for the company's real estate company.
Hu Jianlin wanted to have a "shaking red wine glass", but found that everything in the model room was fake, even the glasses were stuck to the table.
So how to drink water.
装满了，嗦一口，再装满，再嗦。
Misunderstanding stalks is an important means of connection to promote the development of the plot.
Hu Jianlin did not get an annual salary of 240,000 yuan in the first half of his life, so he deliberately "investigated and collected evidence".
But Ma Jie, who was weak-hearted, mistakenly thought that he was dissatisfied, and doubled Hu Jianlin's salary on the spot.
The director uses structural comedy, three lines side by side, to screw the fates of different characters together.
The resulting comedic conflict brings together fate and the characters' current reactions to form a symphonic, holistic comedic effect.
In simple terms.
Sir watched the screening, although there were not many people.
But the man sitting next to me was smiling so much
It's very loud (annoying).
02
Strong and sarcastic
The highest form of comedy is not to squeak the audience to laugh.
Instead, it uses a playful and satirical mode to directly point to the phenomena that exist at the moment, but cannot be put on the table to explain clearly.
"The Annual Meeting Can't Be Stopped!" (hereinafter referred to as "The Annual Meeting") is an opportunity for us to speak the truth.
It's not an exaggeration to say that its sharpness makes it the most daring comedy of the year.
Even, you can sit completely in the right seat and let it become a "mirror" of your workplace.
The ingenuity of this movie is to let Hu Jianlin, who has a very sense of the times, go to the modern workplace.
He suddenly walked from a simple, simple sterile environment into a complex real environment, he was not accustomed to the water and soil, and he had an extremely ridiculous and valuable positive energy for everything.
While you laugh, you will also feel sad.
Yes, where did the once simple, pure people, go.
It's not that he doesn't understand the workplace.
On his first day at the company, he wore an '80s suit and a floral tie that didn't fit in with his surroundings, and he rehearsed cigarette handing out at home for a long time.
The politeness and respect he thought were still at the level of handing cigarettes to the leader.
However, as everyone knows, in the current workplace, there is no one who is more colorful and exquisite, and he can't live at all.
What he thinks in his heart, as long as he struggles, he can achieve a future, is completely inapplicable in the workplace ecology of the jungle.
This seemingly outdated and old-fashioned idea is also the pure and healthy workplace ecology we crave.
Of course, he also wondered why he was the one who was transferred.
When he met Pete (played by Sun Yizhou), the general manager of the HR department, he wanted to know a reason for his promotion.
How could Pete tell him the truth and ask rhetorically: What do you think?
Hu Jianlin really said confidently: Is it because I am an advanced factory every year, and I am transferred to let my colleagues learn Xi advanced deeds.
傻。
Sincerity.
However, you don't want to ruin his simple and down-to-earth sense of faith.
In such a workplace existence, a casual sentence he said would be used by colleagues for various interpretations.
Once, Hu Jianlin gave a "hammer making class" for executives, and after the preliminary demonstration, he said:
"Look for your hammer and your hammer head. ”
Some executives didn't understand what it meant.
Another translator: "Don't you understand this? Find your dad." ”
Hu Jianlin seemed to have traveled directly from another era, with his naivety and courage, facing a group of big bad wolves baring their teeth at him.
However, the good thing about "Annual Meeting" is that it didn't let a fool go on stupidly.
By chance, after Hu Jianlin learned the truth about his promotion, "bacteria" began to slowly enter his "sterile room", in order to keep his job and Ma Jie's job, he must learn to stand in line and learn Xi current workplace skills, such as how to be a leader who fishes every day.
The leader's words must have:
The crux of the matter
It's about finding the key questions
If you want to explain a noun, use another noun to reverse the position.
- What is back-end data management?
- It is to manage the background data
- I'm in charge of optimizing the program architecture
- Is it the optimization of the program architecture?
It's this kind of useless conversation that fills every seemingly hectic moment, as well as the empty moments when the leaders "have nothing to say", and, at the end, you have to pretend to understand, and take notes with a blank face.
Also, the set of "black words" that Internet people know best must learn Xi:
The most common thing to hear is alignment granularity.
Before you understand what granularity is, a set of empty and meaningless "big words" appear: grasping, sinking, closing the loop.......
In the movie, Sir was stunned when he heard it, but how much information is in such a sentence.
0。
Even, if you put such words in other scenes, there is no sense of disobedience (there is such a burden in the movie).
In addition, this movie is still a kaleidoscope of workplace chaos, for example, gangs and factions, climbing relationships, it seems that everyone has a string in their heads.
It's not how to make the job better, but, how should I be here, how can I live, how can I climb higher?
Hu Jianlin is here, although his salary and position are getting higher and higher, but he is living more and more empty.
He gradually lost his original impulse and drive.
On the contrary, with this kind of flattery, he set up another mountain, so that he was promoted three levels in a row, promoted and raised, and reached the peak of his life.
He is just a pawn in this workplace jungle.
Those seemingly pinnacles of life were just the short-lived joys he gained with a clear conscience.
"Empty" gradually made Hu Jianlin feel scared.
However, not everyone can have such an awareness as him.
In reality, more people would rather stay in the "emptiness", mingle, and be proud of it.
03
Scolding, why don't you dare to scold?
When Bai Ke was interviewing, he wanted to extend the content of the movie, but he thought about it.
"Forget it, it's not like it, it will be deleted anyway. ”
During filming, he also asked the director, "Isn't it dangerous for us to satirize the workplace?"
I say that the central idea of overtime is not to get the job done
It's about showing attitude
Isn't this a satire of the workplace?
Isn't there any danger in this
The director thought about it.
"Yes", but changed the phrase: "I don't know." ”
The sensitivity of this movie makes Bai Ke prepare for both hands in terms of performance strength, "One is heart-piercing, and the other is creaking." ”
Oh, yes.
Did you find out?
Spitting about the workplace has become a very sensitive matter.
After last year's storm of layoffs in major Internet companies, layoffs have become a topic that we avoid talking about in person.
Along with "layoffs" are words like "optimization" and "graduation", which seem to downplay the pain of layoffs.
Using such words to cover the pain and weakness of enterprise transformation is also particularly in line with the logical thinking of Chinese "slapping a swollen face and becoming fat".
Hozumi Menko, Nephew Riko.
Face, KPI, performance, and "boasting" PPT of linear growth;
Lizi is the employee's 996, meaningless overtime, and plummeting mental and physical value......
Everything is under the desire to cover up, covering up the pains of the times in a self-evident way.
This movie can say:
"When the wheels of the times pass, there will always be people under the wheels and increase friction."
For the first time, Sir saw the boldness of domestic movies.
Even, there are too many insinuations in this "Annual Meeting", such as layoffs in large factories, N+1 cannot be implemented, vicious competition, and pulling over their own forces through layoffs, and de-"xxization"....... Hush.
Out of the movies.
Look at the hot search, it is even more shocking:
In the cinema, the more Sir looks at it, the more it feels so similar to reality, and even, it does have a lot of details that make people's eyes moist and want to exhale.
"Annual Meeting" is a comedy with a tragedy as the background.
It follows the "non-heroes want to win" format in comedy:
A small person is constantly rebelling against the established fate, whether he succeeds or not, but he still keeps trying.
During this period, he would make a lot of jokes, but he always had a spirit that would not admit defeat.
And who is the only little person in the movie?
It's not Hu Jianlin, it's not Penny with the lowest rank.
It's Ma Jie, who has always been high or low, and has a boss who eats and drinks at his head.
Hu Jianlin's role is just an introduction to the movie.
Singing "My future is not a dream" into a new era, still looking forward to "love to fight to win", he does not adapt to the current environment;
And Ma Jie, a middle-aged man who said "my generation is a Penghao person", the wedding ring on his hand has always shown that he is a family person.
Unlike Penny and Hu Jianlin, he must keep his job in order to be responsible for his family.
In Ma Jie, I have seen many people who have been in the workplace for many years, and those who are resigned and sincerely afraid in the company in order to keep their jobs and stabilize their families, and gradually lose their "high spirits".
The pressure on him came so real.
It's not that he didn't complain, it's obviously a problem with the leadership, but it is he who may not be working;
It's my own hard work, but I'm always better at reporting than those.
For him, he has been called back to the company to work overtime at home many times, and has the longest overtime hours, these are his "medals".
He longs for promotion, but this promotion is like a carrot on the neck of a donkey, a pie drawn on paper, and he keeps walking forward stupidly.
It's still that scene.
Hu Jianlin teaches a "hammer" class to a group of executives.
He looked at Ma Jie's hammer and said, "Your edges and corners are gone."
It looks like a finger hammer, but it's more like what he said to Ma Jie.
In the movie, in this huge company, in the factory.
What you see is the "hammer" that has become a higher level of the company step by step, as well as the "screws" of qualified quality in the standard parts factory.
Only, you can't see "people".
At the end of the "Annual Meeting", the only moment of "human flavor" was a rap that exposed the truth about corruption and buying and selling positions within the company when the waste wood trio came to power.
The more Sir looks at it, the more familiar it becomes.
In 2019, at the annual meeting of New Oriental, an adapted song was used to complain about New Oriental's lengthy internal structure, leaders not doing practical things, and departments playing ball.
This incident became a hot search at the end of the year, and it also wet many people's eyes.
It was also a long time before we finally saw the remnants of "people".
And these lyrics are also the words shouted out in the hearts of our workers.
No longer carrying the pot, no longer kneeling and licking, no longer being "optimized" at will, no longer being thrown around like a piece of garbage, being pitted around.
No longer a consumable for power play.
Let's be "human".
Is this that hard?
Perhaps, these may not be so easy to solve for the current reality.
Perhaps, you also have a belly of anger to sprinkle.
Then, go to the cinema and watch "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!", to vent what we want to say, what we want to shout.
Go to the cinema and laugh and cry.
Allow yourself to be yourself again.
Return to your sentient and happy self.
