Chapter 254 I Speak Out for Social Animals
After the ninth episode of "Hansawa Naoki" was broadcast, the average time-sharing ratings directly reached 37%, surpassing the ratings of the final episode of "Housekeeper Mita".
This caused many people to take a breath of cold air and begin to make bold guesses about the possible final ratings of this drama.
At present, the best score achieved by Fukuyama Tsukiku's drama is "Homeless Child", with a final episode of 39%, ranking sixth in history. Looking at the momentum of "Hansawa Naoki", it is estimated to surpass "Homeless Child". "Children" is not a problem at all, the problem is how much more?
Will it exceed 40%? Will it rank among the top three in history? Even, will it surpass the undefeated record achieved by "Thieves" that year, and directly rank first in history?
No one knows, but everyone is looking forward to the result.
While everyone was paying attention to "Hansawa Naoki", they almost forgot the other two dramas at the same time.
Under the strong competition of "Hansawa Naoki", the ratings of the other two dramas have almost been declining in the next few episodes.
The ratings of "My Ex-Husbands" dropped directly to about 18%, and "Kyoto Love Notes" was the worst, falling directly below the 15% consensus line for works qualified by the broadcasting industry.
TV dramas aired in prime time, more than 15%, are considered to be of acceptable quality, and less than this figure is not considered a good work. A work that is almost finished has such dismal ratings, which means it is close to failure commercially.
These two dramas died relatively decently, but the spring dramas from TTV and Dongdao Channel had an ugly death. The ratings even fell below 10, which is almost as good as the late-night ratings.
Although the final episode has not been officially released yet, the entertainment sections of major newspapers are publishing news about this drama. The day after the ninth episode was released, there was news about the drama "Naoki Hansawa" directly The entertainment pages of major newspapers achieved a feat of massacre, and almost everyone was discussing the show's astonishing ratings and social significance.
But what makes these media people most curious is still what kind of ratings this drama will eventually achieve.
On the forum, there are endless discussions about "Hansawa Naoki".
"Finally, I saw a professional drama that was nutritious and not full of entanglements between men and women. It was about banking, which was very novel. I learned a lot of new vocabulary from watching "Naoki Hansawa", about whitewashing statements, roundabout financing, and so on. "
"I am a bank employee, and I have to say that the story of "Hanzawa Naoki" is very real, and the screenwriter is very good. Whether it is being shirk responsibilities by the boss, or being anxious when facing an inspection by the Financial Services Agency, this drama reflects it very realistically But in reality, people like Naoki Hansawa are really rare. Anyway, I have never seen him. The bank employees I have seen are all as humble as slaves in front of their bosses. "
"So this is the meaning of the TV series. It makes up for the shortcomings of reality. I want to know now, will Owada kneel to Hanzawa in the last episode?"
"Haha, you don't have to think about it to know that it will definitely happen!"
"Although I know it will happen, I still want to see it with my own eyes. I will definitely stay in front of the TV next week and wait for the TV series to air."
"Although this drama is very good to watch, I have to say that it still caused some trouble for my work... I work for a rural credit union. Because I refused a loan from a small factory owner, this guy ended up in our credit union every day. We put up a banner outside the company, and the content of the banner was [Borrow an umbrella on a sunny day, keep an umbrella on a rainy day].”
"Hahaha, could it be that I am repaying you with a tooth for a tooth?"
…
Taotai Yaoshi held his briefcase firmly under his arm, sat on the slightly shaky tram, and looked in the direction of the carriage.
At a glance, there are all moving heads, but I can't find a good-looking one. There is a bit of sour smell in the air, which is the bitter sweat of office workers.
Taibaozhi raised his head slightly and saw the poster posted on the tram. Among the many posters, Taibaozhi saw the poster of "Hansawa Naoki" at a glance.
In the poster, Naoki Hansawa, played by Takaharu Miyata, has pursed lips and firm eyes, looking straight ahead. Tao Baozhi looked at him and sighed in his heart: It's great to be able to work in a large group like a bank for such a long time and still maintain such surging fighting spirit and enthusiasm. If it were anyone else, whether it was dreams or ambitions, at most In five years, he was completely consumed by club life.
Including myself...
Taitao Baozhi is in his thirties this year. He has worked in a securities company for more than ten years and has become a precise workplace machine. The ideals he once had when he entered the industry have been lost.
Everyone wants to be Hanzawa, but most people become Kondo.
And it’s not Kondo who found himself again with the help of his friend Hanzawa, but Kondo who sank into the spiritual quagmire and became a zombie in the workplace.
In order to fight against the boring workplace life, Tao Baozhi usually goes for a drink after get off work and goes home drunk. Once when I was at an izakaya, the proprietress played a TV series, "Hansawa Naoki" by Fukuyamadai. He didn't care at that time. He didn't really like watching TV series or anything like that. He always felt that Japanese TV series were really ugly and unwatchable, and they were simply incomparable with anime.
But within ten minutes of playing it, he was completely attracted by the show and watched the entire episode. This is the fifth episode of Hansawa Naoki. After returning home, he started to go to the video hall to borrow videotapes and watch them, completing the first four episodes.
He fell in love with this TV series at that time. From then on, he sat in front of the TV every ninth day of the month.
Taobao believes that the wonderful plot, superb acting skills, and the curiosity to reveal the inside story of the bank are only part of the reason why this drama is so good to watch. The most important thing is that this drama is from the perspective of office workers and tells the story of the pain of ordinary office workers in the workplace.
If there was a black-tech instrument in the world that could gather people's grievances and convert them into energy, then office workers would contribute more than 80% of the energy of this instrument.
As the most depressed and painful group in Japanese society, office workers are also the main force in the suicide army every year.
After the 1990s, the term "social animal" gradually appeared in society to describe office workers.
The social animal means the social animal. What a precise and cruel adjective. When he saw this word describing office workers for the first time, Taibaozhi was a little angry at first, then found it a little funny, and finally felt deeply helpless.
One of the reasons why the drama "Hansawa Naoki" has such good results is that it accurately arouses the resonance of the people, allowing the audience to vent their depression and unwillingness while watching the TV series!
When the characters in the play said "one mistake, a lifetime of indifference" and "the boss's mistakes are the responsibility of the subordinates, and the subordinates' achievements are the boss's", Tao Baozhi felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart by a scalpel.
And when Naoki Hansawa vowed to his boss that he would "definitely recover 500 million" and "repay tooth for tooth, double the amount", Taotai Yasushi clenched his fists in excitement and kept shaking his fist towards the void of the TV. As if his fist could hit the person in the game.
And when Naoki Hansawa really recovered 500 million and the despicable boss was punished, Taotai Yasushi also broke out in a sweat and felt extremely relieved and happy.
At the same time, he also decided in his heart that this is a good drama! This is a good drama that speaks to ordinary Japanese people.
The screenwriter of this drama seems to be Kei Fujiwara, whose pen name is Keita Shiba. He is a very famous figure, but I have never read his novels or TV series before, but from now on, Tahoshi will remember his name.
After getting off the train, Taotai Yasushi hurriedly walked home. Today was the last episode of "Hansawa Naoki" and he wanted to see it first. As soon as he opened the door, his wife sat on the sofa and looked at him: "Come here quickly, "Hanzawa Naoki" has already started."
"Well, here we come." Taobashi said, quickly put on his slippers and walked into the living room.
Accompanied by his wife, Taobao watched the last episode.
In fact, his wife originally competed with him for the TV set. She liked to watch NBC's "My Exes 2". Taobao was too embarrassed to compete with the housewife for the TV set, so he had to borrow the video tape to watch it at other times, but he did not expect his wife to watch it. After watching two episodes of "Naoki Hansawa", I actually fell in love with it, but found "My Ex-Husbands" boring. So on the ninth day of every month, the couple happily watched the same TV series.
At the end, when the executive of Owada finally knelt down in front of Hanzawa Naoki, Taobao Yasushi and his wife happily waved their fists in celebration.
It’s simply more enjoyable than watching a Koshien baseball game!
After the TV series ended, Tao Baozhi was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, when his wife suddenly grabbed her husband's arm.
"Azhi, is it as difficult for you as Banze in the company?"
Tahoshi said half-jokingly: "Compared to Hanzawa, I think I'm more like Kondo. Haha."
Having said that, Taitao Baozhi wanted to leave, but found that his wife was still holding his arm firmly. Taitao Baozhi was a little surprised. When he looked at his wife, he was surprised to find that his wife's eyes were slightly red.
"I have never worked, and I rely on you to support my family, so I don't understand the hardships of working in a club. I originally thought that being a housewife was hard enough, but after watching "Naoki Hansawa" I realized the dangers I face in a club And hard work is something I can’t understand at all...Azhi, thank you for your hard work."
Tao Baozhi was stunned for a moment, then said quickly: "Hey, what are you talking about? I am a man, and it is a man's job to support the family..."
However, when he said this, he began to cry a little. He quickly broke away from his wife's hand, fearing that he would shed tears in front of her.
