Ruijin Electronics Company in Lanshan Industrial Zone, Shenzhen City, is run by Koreans and produces black and white TVs. The boss is Jin Zhenxian, a arrogant woman.
She set harsh factory rules for workers:
Workers must line up to enter and leave the factory;
A penalty of 10 yuan is applied for each minute of lateness;
If you take one day off, you will be fined 300; the entire monthly salary of a general worker is exactly 300;
When working on the assembly line, you must sit upright. If you are seen by the foreman and move around, you will be fined 50;
Workers are not allowed to sit at their workstations during their lunch break, but must line up and leave the workshop in an orderly manner.
Young Sun Tian entered the factory and started as a common worker. With the knowledge accumulated in high school, he learned faster than others. Step by step, he became an assembler, then a cleaner and a quality inspector.
; He was highly appreciated by his superiors, who promoted him to supervisor with a monthly salary of 1,300 yuan. At this time, two years had passed since he left his hometown.
Sun Tian cherishes this job. Here, he spends 50 yuan a month on personal expenses, including food and accommodation in the factory. The remaining 1,250 yuan is sent home.
Sun Tian cherishes this job.
In the past five days and four nights, the factory had to work overtime. There were more than 100 people in the factory. They did not have a complete day's rest, but only found time to catch up on sleep in bits and pieces. Sun Tian is the small supervisor of the assembly line, and he is better than others.
A little more relaxed, even as young as him, he still feels that his body can't bear it.
On this day, the superior announced that the boss from South Korea was going to inspect. I don’t know when. Sun Tian spent the entire morning not daring to take a break, and he warned the employees on the assembly line one by one. He said:
"Don't sleep. If you sleep, remind each other and don't be seen."
Sun Tian cherishes this job.
During the lunch break, they were finally released. According to factory regulations, they should line up to leave the workshop and kill time elsewhere. However, the workers were so tired that they didn't even bother to eat. Many of them seemed to have lost power and were lying directly on the workbench.
He fell into a deep sleep and couldn't wake up no matter what.
It happened that at this time, the rumored Korean female boss came in with her translator to inspect.
She saw some employees taking a break.
An employee was picked up, with red marks on his face from deep sleep, and his head and face were covered with the words: "Kneel down, you have to kneel down to apologize."
The employees didn't know what the woman was talking about. They only knew that she was a person with some status, and she was looking at her in a daze to please her. Because she was too tired, she laughed while falling heavily and closed her eyes. She didn't care even if the ground was cold.
The translator paused and translated the original words to the employees.
"The boss said, let you all kneel down and apologize to her!"
The employee was stunned and stood up immediately.
Someone had already woken up, and they informed each other. Gradually, Sun Tian also knew about this matter.
The female boss held down the employee next to her, kicked her hard, and forced her to kneel down. Then she pressed down another employee, and then another...
Some people stood stubbornly, unwilling to kneel down.
All the employees were gathered together. Starting from Sun Tian who was gritting his teeth in the middle, to other employees, their faces were different, and they were scanned one by one; some people could faintly see simple hand-knitted sweaters under their coats.
Some workers have photos of their family members in the narrow space on their desks; at this time, the boss’s face cannot be seen, only her back and her cruel words:
"As long as one person doesn't kneel down, you won't get a penny of your salary!"
Not only Sun Tian, they cherish this job very much.
Someone knelt down.
Like dominoes, one by one, sad emotions spread among everyone. At first, it was still a forced action, but later it turned into a numb imitation; we really can't see the expression of the female boss, thinking that she should be at this moment
Satisfied with ambition.
However, the camera returned to Sun Tian standing up straight, and then took a close-up of his face.
Sun Tian cherishes this job.
So when he stood up straight, he was actually slightly tilted. The muscles in his cheeks trembled rapidly, trying to suppress his emotions.
The female boss was angry: "Why don't you kneel down?"
"Why should I kneel down to you?"
"If you don't kneel down, I will fire you!"
Sun Tian tore off the work badge from his neck, threw it to the ground and stomped on it, facing the camera, "You fire me, I won't kneel down!"
——————
"According to Korean rules, kneeling only means apologizing. It is not like here, where we kneel down to the sky and kneel to our parents, which is considered to be an insult to one's personality."
When Sun Tian was interviewed by reporters, the other party said this.
"Why should I do things according to other people's rules? Could it be...where am I?"
Sun Tian asked the reporter.
This conversation was recorded in reports, on TV stations, and in the investigation reports of relevant departments.
Sun Tian is a modern poet in this province and a public figure. Wang Huairang, a former cadre of the Lankao County (***) Party Committee Propaganda Department and vice chairman of the Henan Writers Association, wrote a long poem about Sun Tian's deeds. It was broadcast on the program
By that time, the poet had passed away, and the person who recited and dubbed the poem was none other than the famous voice actor Xu Tao.
His voice makes people's hearts swell:
Won't kneel down!
in our mother's blood
There is no gene for kneeling!
Won't kneel down!
in the bones of our fathers
There is no kneeling bone marrow
…
The female boss finally lowered her head and promised to apologize to all employees for this matter; to settle wages; and to provide financial compensation to employees who were fired for unjust reasons. In the quick narration, the program came to the end. Xu Tao's poem recitation
It's still going on. There is no break in emotions.
This section was not filmed. Due to limited funds, it was a repetitive video with verse subtitles.
You can often see on the legal channel that once a case is solved and the trial is going on, which is when it should be more exciting, there will be a black screen with typing sound effects. The above is xx year xx month, xx was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment for xx...
For a micro-movie, this would not work, as it would start before the end and end at the end. Fortunately, the director used a sensational scene that is common in dramas with the main melody to make up for it.
First, the narration by voice actor Xu Tao:
"I won't kneel down!
in our mother's blood
I don’t have the gene for kneeling!”
Then Sun Tian, essentially the voice of actor Fang Yi, joined in:
"I won't kneel down!
in the bones of our fathers
There is no bone marrow to kneel down!”
At the same time, it switches to the image he shot before, followed by more recitation:
"I won't kneel down!
what we need to survive
In the flowing water of China..."
Belonging to children, old people, women... all are switched to corresponding video materials until the eyes are overwhelmed... creating an atmosphere where people across the country are reciting together and issuing a call.
Xiao Lin and Wu Zhijun in the audience nodded frequently.
This technique is a bit old-fashioned. If you think about it carefully, of course the logic is inconsistent. How can everyone listen and recite at the same time? In fact, it is just an expression technique, which is common in commercial films. The emotion is highlighted and it does not appear abrupt.
Since the 1990s in Mainland China, literary and artistic films have long had a monopoly on the right to speak, and deliberately do not use it, leading the audience to think that this technique is unique to the main theme drama, and it is even like a conditioned reflex, and they are disgusted after seeing it. This is a misunderstanding.
The Hollywood Autobots fucked the Airmen, and Optimus Prime gave his speech before the battle, it was also shot in this way. Cut the Bumblebee, cut the Tin Man, cut the male and female protagonists, cut the Pentagon... It seemed like the whole world was listening to Optimus Prime's speech.
There is still video in the end credits.
It was Sun Tian who had found a job again. He was busy working on the assembly line. A worker came over with a yellow envelope, waving his hand slowly.
Cut to Sun Tian's appearance, smiling curiously, however, the camera suddenly stopped.
So Sun Tian on the TV, like the audience outside the TV, became more and more confused.
Flawed?
Xiao Lin had time and swallowed.
The camera began to shake violently, representing the excitement of the workers:
"Sun Tian, you have been admitted to college!"
"You're going back to school!"
The subtitles are over and the program is completely over.
It turned out to be an ingenious idea.
Xiao Lin: "Ahem! Ahem..."
Wu Zhijun didn't know whether it was because of how many times he had watched it, but he still couldn't suppress his emotions. He looked like the lingering lingering emotion was still lingering: "Producer Xiao, I don't think there is any need to adjust anymore."
Xiao Lin tried to touch the cigarette in his pocket and stopped. This was the third time he stopped today. He shook his head and wanted to say some nice words that would make in-depth comments and show the leadership's superiority. However, he always thought of the screen.
The enlarged face could not be dissipated from his mind for a long time. Finally, he found a point of regret.
