Tell me what exactly is this short film about ? ……Hey? You do not know……

Woman: Don't ask, I definitely don't know! But as a pixar work, it should be unusual!

That line, let's talk right away...

The title, it's the sidewalk again, it's a cliché, what's the language of the lens?

Woman: Rules...?

...... Where is the rule ?

Then there is a picture of a signboard , English: Mi Sang Yu

Woman: What does this mean?

Anyway, it is a fish, some people use it as a signboard, representing business !

What might that film be about?

Woman: ...business rules? !

yes!

Wow, do you watch movies like this?

The beginning and the end of the film are often the director’s tips on the theme. Like me, at a master level, it doesn’t matter if you don’t see these tips. It just teaches you how to watch a movie...

Woman: Okay, please continue to interpret...

We all know that animals are mostly metaphors or allegories, in order to tell us a truth...

Female: Understand, anthropomorphic creative technique

Let's sort out the plot first , find the theme idea, and finally sublimate it , and see what kind of business rules the director is talking about ...

The little wild cat crosses the street with a fish in his mouth. Note that this is a long shot ... What is the English of the billboard on the ground?

Female: Randy’s pawn shop, reminder: Turn your valuable things into money, today...

Measure the value , that is, weigh the amount. Which way do you plan to sell it for cash?

So you see, the little wild cat is wandering across the billboard ...

But we have to think about a few things:

Second: What you think is valuable may not be useful in the eyes of others !

Female: Yes, what you like is different from what I like, so it is difficult for both parties to unify their values!

Second: Even if we all fancy the same thing, because we like different things , that is, the use value is different, then we can't unify our thinking...

For example, we all like this fish, misson fish, but we are fancying its advantages in different aspects:

You use it as a sign, and I use it for lunch...

Woman: Oh, I see, you are talking about the businessman and the little wild cat...

That's right! Looking further back, the little wild cat ran into a waste paper box in a yard with a fish in his mouth...

The English on this box is a reminder: Tolerate broken, handle with care, but it says book on the side

Female: Strange, how can the book be fragile and face up ?

So, what you think is not important, others don't think so... For those nerds, books are a treasure!

Woman: I found that this little wild cat loves to blow up her fur, whoever catches it...

Yes, it may think that everyone is afraid of it, grinning and stretching out its claws...

This is its advantage, but in the eyes of the bulldog, the inner subtext should be: What does this little black thing want to do? Look at that spoiling ...

Woman: Ha, that's for sure, what kind of formation have you never seen a bulldog? You can tear the little wild cat in one bite ...

This is what we mentioned earlier:

I think a valuable and powerful advantage may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of others!

Looking back, discarded mineral water bottles and bottle caps have also become important props

If a bottle loses its cap, then these two things are useless, right?

But you see, this bottle cap has become a toy for the two of them , and can also be used to communicate emotions and relieve embarrassment ...

This bottle cap is endowed with a lot of "functionality" and thus enhances "self-value"...

Woman: A plane flies in the sky...the dog barks, what's the answer?

Dogs, they are all like this, barking at everything, usually no one can tell what they are doing? Is it curiosity or intimidation... I don’t know, it’s all the same anyway

The director wants to make a point:

It is often difficult for us to judge the other person’s true thoughts, kindness or hostility from the language...

I won’t say much about the following story, it's pretty reasonable anyway!

The owner is not good to the dog. Just a few days after knowing the dog, it is impossible for the dog to have any loyalty...Run away in the rainy night

Over the fence...

You think the bulldog is burly tall and fights fiercely... but some people don’t need him like this, not to mention he doesn’t think this is an advantage.

Woman: Yes, if I change to me, I must feel that I am cumbersome and not dexterous, not as agile as a kitten, then this is a disadvantage...

ok, we now put the cat star people and Wang star who likened employees, the dog chain that is their boss ......

When I heard movement outside, these two lights suddenly turned on ...

The boss woke up and stared at you with his eyes wide open...

Woman: Wow, there is a feel... It really can be compared to a boss and an employee

Let’s think about it, a person’s strengths and weaknesses, its functionality or value positioning, often depend on the leader...At this time you become a commodity to be sold ...

Your function and value depend on the vision and aesthetics of the leader... This is something we don't want to accept!

Woman: ...so?

so, we not only need leaders who can develop our own strengths, but also engage in jobs that we are good at and like...

What use do you think I can bite? I don't think this is an advantage! My value is judged by myself, and I am willing to mobilize these advantages to help my friends...

Female: I think they seem to have met a new owner (leader) in the end...

As a manager, you must be good at tapping their respective strengths and advantages!

Do we want something like this?

The two started wandering (changing jobs to apply for a job) and got a new appreciation...

The bulldog's own value has been reconfirmed ...

Do you understand now? What exactly is written in this film...

Female: It's about company operations and business management!

very good! Leaders and subordinates , including employees , have an explanation on how to get along!

Employees should also work together , be kind, give full play to their respective advantages , and have food for everyone to eat together, sharing joys and sorrows together!

Woman: That's right, so that the company can thrive...Hey, this video is really difficult to understand!

As long as you master the four-dimensional one theory , you want to watch and understand these movies in minutes , and it's not a problem at all...including creation, too. Those who are difficult won't, and those who will be not difficult!

I remember interpreting the animation about corporate culture before. Do you still remember "Rabbit Magician"?

Sensen Army: Do you see it? "The Magician and the Rabbit" is talking about corporate culture! zhuanlan.zhihu.com

Woman: Indeed, I'll take a closer look when I go back... It seems that you really have to concentrate on your four-dimensional one theory and four-dimensional one pull-sheet analysis method , it is invincible!

Hehe, Yo Xi ...
