There is even news that many viewers hold their urine and watch the final episode before going to the toilet, resulting in a sharp increase in water consumption.
Well-deserved Japanese drama king of the year, so we must talk again.
Naoki Banzawa Season 2
In fact, everyone is very clear about the routine of Naoki Banze.
A bank clerk who said, "answer blows with blows, double the return."
A group of men who are good at tricks, have better facial expressions and are full of drama.
A story about the following crimes, justice will eventually overcome evil.
The humiliation of office workers does not exist here at all. There is only a tooth for a tooth.
The absence of fairness and justice does not exist here, and all injustice and darkness will only be doubled, hundredfold and thousand times repaid here.
Even though he knows the routine well, whenever Naoki Banze says the phrase "answer blows with blows, double the reward", it will still make people excited.
I'm really tired of talking about how popular Naoki Banze is. But this drama is really more than just burning, and it is not enough to make it a king of drama by shouting slogans.
If the first season is dominated by personal grievances, then in the second season, Banze has completely separated from personal grievances and entered a broader field.
Especially in the second case in the second season, the amount involved was larger, and Banze faced more enemies and more power. To some extent, this is not limited to the banking field, but in front of the public, it has dug up the dark inside story of Japanese politics.
In the second case, Banze returned to the parent company and took over the revitalization plan of Imperial Airlines.
This case is of great importance.
Not only does it involve 70 billion yuan, but it is also because Imperial Airlines is also responsible for public transportation, which is related to people's livelihood.
At the same time, the newly appointed Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism decided to let banks give up 70% of their creditor's rights, which means that the 50 billion held by the Central Bank of Tokyo where Banze is located will be wasted out of thin air.
For Banze, this is not only a loss of 50 billion yuan, but also a violation of bank rules and trampling on bank dignity.
With a half-jersey style, you can't eat this dumb loss.
But this time, he is facing the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. To put it more broadly, what he wants to resist is the authority of the state and the will of the people.
If he fails this time, he will not only be demoted and exiled as before, but also the career of a bank employee will be ruined.
The following crimes are committed, and this one is more thorough.
Although according to the usual routine, everyone knows that Banze will return blows with blows this time, but this does not prevent us from watching a wonderful story.
At the beginning, everyone followed Banze to investigate Imperial Airlines, find out the reasons for the losses, and find ways to solve the losses and revitalize the company.
But soon, the revitalization plan was blocked, and the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism was threatening, and there was a powerful member of parliament behind him. At the same time, there was a mole inside the bank.
Banze openly opposed the government when he was abandoned by the bank at any time, and in the process of fighting between the two sides, a murder case ten years ago was involved.
So, visiting and investigating, using contacts, looking for information, comparing handwriting, finding a mole, looking for foreign aid ... A bank career drama was filmed as a suspense drama.
With such a story, there are naturally two natural enemies of Banze-
Daiwada and Kurosaki.
The bitter rivals in the past will also stand on the United front when they have the same enemies, and contribute a lot of famous scenes in the whole play.
Daiwada's passionate declaration, "You're death", exaggerated expressions, demonic pronunciation, swept the Internet.
But it didn't take long for Daiwada to reach out to him, with a look of eating flies but having to swallow them.
It's especially funny that two people died bravely and righteously.
Two people hate each other to death, but they have to shake hands and walk towards each other. This is not love. What is it?
The so-called love and killing each other is nothing more than this.
Banze and Daiwada are in love and kill each other, and Kurosaki is an enemy and friend.
As a prosecutor in the Financial Services Department, Kurosaki's duty is to find fault with the bank. It is precisely because he recognizes Banze's ability as a bank employee that he will confront him.
However, when the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport was on top of the Financial Office, he chose the same road as Banze, investigated the truth and said no to injustice and darkness.
This proud man, for the first time in his life, did not stand on the opposite side of Banze, but provided key clues to Banze.
Moreover, he has always been more ruthless, and he encountered Waterloo for the first time in his life, and the sneak attack failed. And our half-ze also protected himself very dangerously, becoming the first person in the whole play to escape Kurosaki's black hand.
What do you mean, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests?
After two seasons of disputes, three people, Banze, Daiwada and Kurosaki, gave vivid explanations.
In the first season, after the governor made meritorious service in Banze, he saved Daiwada instead and sent Banze down, which caused many speculations and was finally answered in this season.
The personal grievances and differences of ideas between Daiwada and Banze have also settled, and everyone has a place to go, and Banze has the best arrangement.
The following offenses turn defeat into victory.
This sounds particularly idealistic.
But as long as anyone who has seen the drama understands, this drama is idealistic and never stingy to show the most real world.
The first season focuses on showing the unfairness and darkness in the workplace. Claring gangs, pocketing their own pockets, hard work may not be rewarded, and hard work may also be regarded as abandonment.
In the second season, this kind of injustice and darkness is extended to all aspects of society, especially the fighting between Banze and the Minister of Communications and Cabinet members, which is so real that people's chests are suffocating.
Banze put forward the revival plan of Imperial Airlines, which was rejected by the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and directly made the major banks give up their debt rights to help Imperial Airlines solve the crisis.
Does she really disapprove of Banze's revitalization plan?
No, she can also see that Banze's plan can fundamentally solve the operational difficulties of Imperial Airlines.
However, if we can quickly win the hearts of the people, win votes, and simply and rudely force the bank to give up its creditor's rights, it will be most beneficial to her and her political party. To put it bluntly, this is a political show.
Banze told her about the current predicament and future development of Imperial Airlines, and she branded Banze as a big hat against the country and the will of the people.
Banze told her about the law, and she moved out of the financial department and threatened to issue a business rectification order to the bank.
Banze worked hard for the development of the bank, but she directly used public opinion to accuse the bank of taking care of its own interests and having no overall situation.
The official level is crushing people to death.
Step by step, Banze stood on the opposite side of the whole society.
This over-realistic sense of suffocation reached its peak in the ninth episode.
In the final step of uncovering the truth, Banze witnessed the deal between the president, Daiwada and cabinet members, which made him feel angry, betrayed and strongly unwilling and angry.
Daiwada pressed him and forced him to kneel to the senator.
Dream back to the first season, when he forced Daiwada to kneel, and this time, evil is forcing justice to lower its head.
Under the powerful authority, how can an ordinary person not bow his head?
Half ze has pride, and he didn't lower his head in the end.
Although it was finally proved that all this was just an act, this scene still deeply shocked me.
At that moment, he was not only the light of social animals, but also the embodiment of justice. What I saw in him was not only the oppression of people by authority, but also the strong belief that supported an ordinary person to commit crimes below.
What is Banze's belief?
Simply put-
Screw spirit.
Half jersey's father was alive, once told him:
Although small and light, small screws made of resin are very strong, and it is this kind of screw that supports Japan.
This is a passage with great craftsman spirit, which is vividly reflected in Banze's body.
What Banze is most proud of is his identity as a bank clerk.
Banze's harsh words to people are "unworthy of being a bank employee".
When observing the development of a company, the most important thing is whether employees will greet outsiders, because this is related to the professional identity of employees.
It is not difficult to see that the basis of his actions is the affirmation of his career.
In his words, this is "self-esteem as a screw."
Screw strength is small, but it is indispensable.
Every screw has its own unique function, and countless screws * * * work together to exert great power, which is also the reason why banks unite against the government and make people excited.
The progress of an enterprise, a country and an era is supported, struggled and shaped by countless screws.
For me, the most beneficial thing about this drama is the sentence of Banze:
I will try my best to do what I feel I have to do. This is the duty of office workers.
Inequality and darkness will certainly exist, and the situation cannot always be satisfactory.
But-
This does not prevent us from living seriously and having the courage to work hard.
This is a kind of heroism rooted in real life.
There is still an important quality in Banze. He has learned that he is a great man, and he is still pitiful.
He can put everyone's difficulties in his heart, which is an important reason why no matter how big the case he takes over and how far he goes, he will not make people feel distant.
I still remember that in the first season, he was still considerate of his friends after being betrayed by them. The shock that this behavior brought to me.
From beginning to end, the humanistic spirit runs through the whole play.
In the usual concept, the financial theme workplace drama is dominated by men.
However, in the second season, you will find that women occupy an important position. In the second case, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Shirai, Gu Chuan of Development and Investment Bank and former bank employee Zhimei are all brilliant roles.
Shirai appeared as a villain. The news anchor was born and backed by cabinet members before entering politics and serving as Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
It is said that it is good to enjoy the cool with one's back against a big tree, but in politics, only mutual benefit can win in the long run. Cabinet members choose Shirai because of her high popularity among voters. Shirai can only follow suit and do things according to orders.
It's too difficult for a woman to break a path in politics. Shirai is capable and popular, but only when the relationship is in place can she have the opportunity to display her ambition. Before that, she can only do what she doesn't want to do, otherwise she will just be trimmed and watched by others.
For the sake of her ideal, she is forbearing and compromising, but once she touches her minefield and tramples on her ideal, she can fight with all her eggs in one basket.
When it comes to real life, in fact, many people enter a field with the mentality of displaying their ambitions, but after seeing the darkness and injustice, after various compromises, there are not many people who can still keep their original ideals like Shirai.
Banker Tanigawa doesn't appear many times, but she is a role I especially appreciate.
Known as the "Iron Lady", you can imagine her super professional ability and resolute means.
But everyone will be in trouble. Because of the government background of the bank, Tanigawa had to act according to the government's eyes, so he devoted himself to the reform of the banking structure for many years and worked hard on the road of bank privatization.
Before she was sure of success, she was subject to others and compromised for the overall situation of the bank. Once she was allowed to seize the opportunity, she would fight back mercilessly.
Assess the situation, save your strength, step by step, and walk steadily every step. Such a person will succeed in whatever he does.
Zhimei is one of the hidden characters in the second case, knowing that she is absolutely useful to the case, but it has always been unclear, and she didn't surface until she dug up the past.
The gentle female boss is a sentimental person.
The secretary of the former bank president resigned after the death of the president. She escaped from the whirlpool and started a new life, but she has never forgotten the care and kindness of the president. After so many years, she is still looking forward to helping the president clear his grievances.
Weak in appearance and strong in heart, and the chemical reaction with Xiaohua is also very interesting.
Of course, Xiaohua trusts Banze wholeheartedly, but she will also come over to be jealous with the gift that Zhimei gave to Banze.
Half ze is omnipotent outside, but there will be moments of being beaten and speechless in front of Xiaohua, and the couple's life is still very interesting.
More importantly, Banze can support Xiaohua's floral career, and Xiaohua fully supports Banze's career ideal.
There are problems in the work of both husband and wife, which affects the quality of life of the family. When the situation is unclear, Banze actually feels guilty about Xiaohua, but Xiaohua fully understands Banze's feelings.
She sympathized with his situation and "might as well resign".
She comforted him, "You have worked hard" and "Stick to what you want to do".
She encouraged his future, "as long as he is alive, there is still hope."
The support of his family will always be his strength in fighting outside. With such a wife, what more can a husband ask for?
Write to the end.
In 20 13, the first season started broadcasting, and in 2020, the second season ended.
In seven years, this drama has left too many famous scenes and unforgettable moments.
There are so many things to be praised for, such as the performance of Hanzawa Naoki, the classic "A tooth for a tooth, a double reward", the light of social animals, the model of ideal relationship between husband and wife, and the bank workplace drama comparable to suspense drama.
Seven years, too much to give up, but I still have to say goodbye.
Not surprisingly, the story of Naoki Banzawa is completely over here. If there is a chance to make another sequel, it will be a lifetime series if you see Banzawa become the president with your own eyes.
