Biden’s government announced new sanctions against Iran, and the Iranian nuclear talks, which have just improved, are getting cold?

  A few days ago, Iran announced on October 27th that it agreed to restart the the Iranian nuclear deal negotiations before the end of November, which seemed to bring dawn to the stalled negotiations for several months. However, the recent sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran and Iran’s tough response have once again cast a shadow over this soon-to-be negotiation.

  According to Reuters, US Secretary of State Blinken said on October 31st that the United States, Britain, Germany and France were "completely synchronized" in bringing Iran back to the Iranian nuclear deal, but he said it was unclear whether Iran was willing to rejoin the negotiations. Although Iran promised to restart the negotiations at the end of October, after the US announced sanctions against some Iranian enterprises and individuals on October 29, Iran accused the US of being "untrustworthy", and the two key parties in the Iranian nuclear talks fell into a crisis of confidence again.

  Since April this year, relevant parties in the Iranian nuclear deal have held six rounds of talks in the Austrian capital, Vienna, to discuss the resumption of compliance between the United States and Iran. Due to the serious differences between the United States and Iran and the change of leadership of the Iranian government, a new round of talks has been delayed.

  Appeal and sanction at the same time?

  Recently, the Biden administration’s actions on the Iran issue have shown the characteristics of "two sides". On the one hand, it urged Iran to return to the Iranian nuclear deal, on the other hand, it imposed sanctions on Iran again.

  On October 30th, the leaders of the United States, Germany, Britain and France met during the G20 Summit in Rome, Italy. According to Al Jazeera, the leaders of the four countries said in a joint statement issued after the meeting that US President Biden promised that the US would return to the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue "conditionally". Biden’s "conditional" means that the United States is willing to return to and fully abide by the Iranian nuclear deal as long as Iran resumes its compliance.

  "Only if Iran changes its direction will it be possible to resume the agreement." The leaders of the four countries pointed out in the joint statement that "we urge Iranian President Leahy to seize the opportunity and take sincere actions" to avoid a "dangerous escalation" of the situation.

  It is worth mentioning that, according to the National Public Radio (NPR), the leaders of the four countries also stated in the joint statement that they would not relax the sanctions against Iran until Iran took the first step, that is, gradually stopped developing nuclear weapons. For a long time, Iran has always denied this accusation.

  In fact, although the United States called on Iran to return to the Iranian nuclear deal, it did not give up the use of "sanctions" to put pressure on Iran. The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. Treasury Department announced in a statement on October 29th that it would sanction two Iranian enterprises and three related individuals, saying that they provided "critical support" for the UAV project of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its subordinate quds force.

  Earlier, a US military base in the Tanf region of southern Syria was attacked by several drones on October 20, and US officials believed that Iran provided support for the attack. Iran has repeatedly denied the allegations against Iran’s drone project, saying that its progress in the military and defense fields is not for aggressive purposes, but only for deterrence.

  Regarding why the United States took sanctions against Iran at this time, Qian Xuming, assistant director of the Middle East Institute of Shanghai International Studies University, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn), "The sanctions taken by the United States on the issue of drones are to maintain the balance between Iran and Israel." According to Ha ‘aretz, Israel reported on October 30, before the U.S. Treasury imposed sanctions on some Iranian enterprises and individuals on the 29th, Israel handed over comprehensive information about the person in charge of Iran’s drone program to the U.S. government.

  Qian Xuming further pointed out that "this move (the United States initiated sanctions) has a certain impact on the resumption of negotiations promised by the Iranian side." Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Bagheri said on October 27th that Iran agreed to restart the Iranian nuclear talks before the end of November, and the sole goal of the new round of talks was to "lift the cruel and illegal sanctions imposed by the United States on Iran".

  Iran: Biden’s government is "contradictory" and "untrustworthy"

  On October 29th, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman khatib Zadeh said that the sanctions imposed by the United States on some entities and individuals involved in Iran’s UAV project exposed the "completely contradictory" behavior of the United States and showed that the United States was "untrustworthy".

  Reuters reported that according to the news published on the website of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, khatib Zadeh believed that the current US government expressed its willingness to return to the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue, but continued the Trump-era sanctions, which showed that the United States was actually "untrustworthy".

  Khatib Zadeh said that the United States’ extreme pressure policy against Iran has not achieved any purpose so far, and continuing this failed policy will only bring new failures. American pressure and sanctions will not weaken the Iranian government’s determination to safeguard security and tranquility. In this regard, Qian Xuming predicted that "from the perspective of the game situation between the United States and Iran, on the surface, the United States is aggressive. In fact, Iran will not easily make major concessions on the Iranian nuclear negotiations."

  In addition to distrust of Biden’s administration’s contradictory words and deeds, the Iranian side has also begun to question the true intention of the United States to return to the Iranian nuclear deal. According to Reuters, citing Iran Daily, the official Iranian media, Iranian Foreign Minister Abdullahiyan pointed out sharply on October 31st that if the United States really intends to return to the Iranian nuclear deal, Biden can achieve this goal by issuing an executive order, and "there is no need for these negotiations".

  Qian Xuming pointed out to The Paper that on the one hand, the United States indicated that it would return to the Iranian nuclear deal, on the other hand, it restricted Iran’s means of expanding its influence in the Middle East, which would lead to a complicated and long-term Iranian nuclear issue.

  Since the establishment of SAIC-Audi, we have speculated which product its domestic model is. With the exposure of a spy photo of a sedan Audi A7, we realized that SAIC-Audi did not introduce overseas Audi products into China in a hurry, but made localization adjustments for China consumers, which is the birth of Audi A7L. This release is the current version with a limited edition of 1,000 vehicles, which adopts the exclusive color of Qingshan Dai car paint, and each car will have its own number.

  SAIC Audi A7L based on MLB Evo platform is still eye-catching. The brand-new air intake grille is decorated with horizontal and vertical decorative strips, and the overall design is still the traditional hexagonal design of Audi family. LED laser matrix headlights also appear on the new car, which is the only model equipped with laser headlights in Audi domestic fuel vehicles.

SAIC Audi Audi A7L 2021 Advanced Edition

SAIC Audi Audi A7L 2021 Advanced Edition

  Regarding the headlights mentioned above, the Audi A7L adopts more advanced Audi intelligent laser headlights based on the high-definition matrix module. The headlight group of A7L contains 32 LED modules, which can be adjusted automatically according to the actual road conditions, and automatically avoid when other vehicles or pedestrians appear in the opposite direction. In this intelligent laser headlight system, there is an X-shaped optical focusing design, which increases the actual irradiation distance in the dark to twice that of ordinary LED headlights, that is, up to 600 meters. When the vehicle speed is above 70km/h, the headlights can be turned on intelligently and actively after sensor identification and processor calculation.

  Audi A7L, which is designed with a sedan structure, abandons A7 Sportback’s slip-back style, while maintaining a low car height and lengthening the wheelbase, which also makes the car body more stretched. The borderless electric suction door that everyone is very fond of has been preserved, so Audi A7L is still a medium and large four-door coupe. Similar styles can be found in BMW 6 Series or 8 Series four-door coupe models.

  In contrast, the shape of the tail is the biggest change, but the overall design is actually very harmonious, and the design of the headlight group has not changed, and it can still present a handsome "light show". Curious about how long the new car is, the puzzle of friends has finally been solved. The length of SAIC Audi A7L is 5076mm and the wheelbase is 3026mm, which is 100mm longer than A7 Sportback and 98mm longer than A7 Sportback.

  SAIC Audi A7L based on MLB Evo platform has not changed in the overall interior design, and it is still a layered center console design, with full LCD instrument panel and central control upper and lower dual-screen design. If you are an old Audi fan, then this set of interiors will definitely attract you with MIB3 entertainment information system. On the basis of inheriting the Audi Asterix ecosystem, it will introduce apps commonly used by Chinese people such as Cool Music and Himalaya. In the future, Audi will also cooperate with Tencent for a new round to develop scene services such as WeChat.

  Don’t think that a new car will lose its sporty atmosphere without a slip back. Sports seats are still provided inside the new car, supplemented by diamond-shaped stitching, thus increasing the sense of luxury. Even the back row continues to use sports-style integrated seats. Of course, since the wheelbase has been lengthened, the comfort of the second row of passengers must be improved. In addition to the legroom, the rear independent dual-zone air conditioner and seat heating are all available.

Home of the car

  The first version of Audi A7L will be equipped with DAWS dynamic all-wheel steering technology, which is the first time that this technology has been applied to Audi domestic models. When the vehicle is turning at a speed below 60km/h, the rear wheel and the front wheel form a reverse direction, achieving a steering angle of at most 5 degrees, which can greatly reduce the turning diameter (1.1 meters). In the usage scene above 60km/h, the DAWS dynamic all-wheel steering technology can make the rear wheel and the front wheel coordinate steering, and can achieve up to 2. When running on the expressway, A7L can complete the lane change process faster and make the whole body slide obliquely.  

Home of the car

  Audi A7L’s active air suspension can automatically adjust the height and damping hardness according to the vehicle speed, driving mode and road conditions, so as to ensure the comfort or movement during driving. For example, after driving at a high speed for a period of time, A7L can automatically reduce the height of the car body (down 10 mm) for better aerodynamics and lower fuel consumption and NVH. When dealing with some offroad conditions, the height of the car body can be automatically adjusted upwards (up to 20mm). 

Home of the car

  In terms of power, the first SAIC Audi A7L 55TFSI quattro is equipped with a 3.0TFSI V6 engine and matched with a 48V light mixing system, with a maximum power of 250kW and a peak torque of 500 Nm. In terms of transmission, it is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and a quattro four-wheel drive system. It is worth mentioning that domestic models will be equipped with air suspension and four-wheel steering system.

  Although the Audi Concept Shanghai concept car still covers some positions as a whole, it is not difficult to see the overall design style. It is a product based on the MEB platform of Volkswagen Group, which is very similar to the Audi Q4 e-tron concept car released in 2019, but the details have been adjusted.

Home of the car

  The headlight group of the new car is still Audi’s usual LED pixel matrix design, and the iconic hexagonal air intake grille is made of semi-closed material similar to aluminum alloy style. At the same time, the front bumper design is the biggest feature that is different from Q4 e-tron, and adopts a triangular design similar to Audi e-tron.

  From the side, we can clearly see the body structure brought by MEB platform. At the same time, the new car is longer than the Q4 e-tron which has been mass-produced on the same platform. In contrast, the through taillight group is extremely simple in shape, and the interior is decorated with LED light sources, so the visual effect at night is excellent.

  In terms of power, SAIC Audi has not disclosed the power parameters of the new car for the time being, but we expect that the new car will share the powertrain with other Audi models on MEB platform after mass production, providing three power models, including single motor and front and rear dual motors: 35 e-tron, 40 e-tron and 50 e-tron. Officially, it has a maximum cruising range of 560km and a battery capacity of 83.4kWh.

Editor’s comment:

  This night activity of SAIC-Audi shows us the future development direction of Audi’s second joint venture company in China. In the era of smart cars and new energy vehicles, SAIC-Audi will continue to create products that belong to Audi’s luxury brand image for China consumers, and at the same time, it is embracing changes to meet more challenges in the new energy market through pure electric vehicles. In 2021, SAIC-Audi set sail, and we believe that this will also help Audi brand to go more steadily and further in China. (Text/car home Wuyuan)

After 13 years of control, cigarettes are sold more and more. Has the tobacco control bonus been "eaten up"?

  "Healthy China 2030" Planning Outline clearly points out that by 2030, the smoking rate of people over the age of 15 will be reduced to 20%, so a series of smoking ban measures have been introduced in various places. However, according to the reporter’s investigation, since 2017, China’s cigarette sales have stopped falling and rose. According to industry insiders, the situation of adolescent smoking and second-hand smoke is still serious, and new types of tobacco, such as e-cigarettes, are "cultivating" young smokers. At the same time, the tobacco control bonus brought by the tax increase on tobacco products has been "eaten up" and the "tug-of-war" of tobacco control continues.

  After thirteen years of smoking control, cigarettes are sold more and more.

  It is understood that the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control came into effect in China in January 2006. In order to fulfill the Convention on Tobacco Control, in 2015, China raised the tobacco consumption tax, which led to the decline of cigarette sales in 2015 and 2016, and achieved the effect of controlling tobacco consumption. However, according to the official data of Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, in 2017, the sales volume of cigarettes in China stopped falling and rose, with 47.378 million boxes sold in the whole year, up by 0.8% compared with 2016.

  The reporter’s investigation found that under the general trend of national tobacco control, the tobacco authorities are still actively seeking how to expand sales and increase tobacco consumers. For example, an insider of Jinan Tobacco Monopoly System published a paper "Analysis on the Factors of Cigarette Sales Growth in Jinan Market", suggesting that "for ordinary wage earners, activities such as buying a certain number of cigarettes to give away other necessities of life, such as giving away laundry soap, towels, etc., can be carried out, and the consumer can use the original expenditure on daily necessities to buy cigarettes, thus increasing cigarette consumption expenditure and giving him the opportunity to cultivate new consumption habits."

  Tobacco companies are actively exploring new rural markets. Among the outstanding papers of Guangxi Tobacco in 2016-2017, there is a paper saying that "the current tobacco control regulations have not had a great impact on the rural market, and the smoking environment in rural areas has not been greatly restricted, and the consumer groups and smoking habits are relatively stable, which provides a favorable environment for improving sales volume and structure", "Guangxi Baise Company & HELIP; … Deeply tap the potential of rural market, and achieved certain results. In 2015, the sales volume and structure of the rural market maintained growth. When the total sales volume of the whole city was basically the same as that of the same period of last year, the rural market sold a total of 37,235 boxes of cigarettes, an increase of 645 boxes year-on-year, an increase of 1.8%. "

  Teenagers’ "first cigarette" is easier to get.

  According to the statistics of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau, the sales volume of Double Happiness in the first half of 2017 was as high as 1,935,000 boxes, followed by Yunyan, Liqun and Hongtashan, and the prices of their main varieties were all around 10 yuan. According to CDC statistics, 50% of smokers spend no more than 9.9 yuan on a box of cigarettes, and there is no difference compared with 2015. The proportion of the cost of purchasing 100 boxes of cigarettes to the per capita GDP in the same year decreased from 2.0% in 2015 to 1.5%.

  According to the reporter’s investigation, low-priced cigarettes "occupy" the vast market, and many young students have also become consumers of low-priced cigarettes. At present, China only counts smokers over the age of 15, and the relevant anti-smoking propaganda is mainly aimed at this group of people over the age of 15. However, teenagers under the age of 15 have been able to contact and buy cigarettes, especially many left-behind children can control their living expenses independently, and their parents’ supervision is insufficient. At the same time, some tobacco companies have also introduced "low tar content" cigarettes to promote their little harm and lure teenagers to try.

  Wan Xia, an associate researcher at the Institute of Basic Medicine, China Academy of Medical Sciences, said that it is "convenient" and "cheaper" for teenagers to buy cigarettes. Some cigarette shops even unpack cigarettes and sell them individually, and each cigarette costs only a few cents, so teenagers can buy the "first cigarette" in their lives and may become addicted from now on.

  Some new tobacco products are becoming popular, such as e-cigarettes, heated non-combustible cigarettes, and so on. These products are playing advertisements that are harmless to health. These new tobacco products are used in the same way as traditional cigarettes. Some researchers have found that a large proportion of new tobacco users will gradually take up traditional cigarettes, and "e-cigarettes" are cultivating new smokers.

  Tobacco control urgently needs "strong medicine"

  On the one hand, it is public health, on the other hand, it is rich profits, and the "tug-of-war" between the two sides of tobacco control interests is becoming more and more fierce. According to the Survey Results of Adult Tobacco in China in 2018 released by CDC, the smoking rate of people aged 15 and above in China was 26.6% in 2018, including 50.5% for men, 2.1% for women, 28.9% for rural areas and 25.1% for cities. Compared with the previous survey results, the smoking rate shows a downward trend, but it is not the same as achieving the tobacco control goal of "Healthy China 2030" — — There is still a big gap between "the smoking rate of people over 15 years old will drop to 20% in 2030".

  According to industry insiders, while China’s economy is developing rapidly and residents’ income is increasing, tobacco prices are relatively "stable", which leads to the "tobacco control dividend" brought by the tax increase on tobacco products in 2015 being "eaten up".

  A team study by Professor university of international business and economics and Zheng Rong, director of the WHO Center for Tobacco Control and Economic Policy Cooperation, found that during 2001-2016, China’s ability to pay for cigarettes continued to increase because the income of China residents increased more than the price of cigarettes. The reporter also learned from the investigation that the consumption level of students has improved, and many of them have smoked more than a dozen or twenty cigarettes.

  Experts believe that the most powerful tobacco control weapon that the government can use is taxation. It is suggested that China’s tobacco tax should be changed from ad valorem to specific quantity, and the price of low-priced cigarettes should be raised, which is more obvious for low-income people and teenagers. These two groups of people are more sensitive to price because of their limited income. This is also the most important target group for tobacco tax increase to achieve the effect of tobacco control, which can not only reduce the "first smoke" of teenagers, thus reducing the number of new smokers, but also reduce the smoking volume of low-and middle-income smokers.

  In addition to the lag in tax adjustment, experts believe that China’s tobacco control efforts and policies are not enough. For example, the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control stipulates that China should adopt legislative measures to achieve 100% smoke-free indoor public places, workplaces and public transport within five years of its entry into force. The Convention came into effect in 2006, and the Regulations on the Control of Smoking in Public Places (Draft for Comment) just issued in Wuhan in May even suggested setting a three-year "buffer period" for smoking bans in entertainment, restaurants and other places. This also means that smoking in these places will be restricted within three years, and smoking will be completely banned after three years, which not only runs counter to the spirit of the Convention, but also indoor smoking areas have become the source of second-hand smoke.

  Experts believe that the law must impose heavy penalties for violating the smoking ban, especially indoor smoking ban. Zhou Ning, an associate professor of cardiovascular medicine in tongji hospital affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said that setting up smoking areas can’t eliminate the harm of second-hand smoke. The results of the technical feasibility study of the smoking room in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology show that any engineering technology, such as exhaust, ventilation and designated smoking areas, can not avoid exposure to tobacco smoke, effectively protecting public health.

  The role of health education also needs to be strengthened. Cui Xiaobo, vice president of Beijing Smoking Control Association and a professor at Capital Medical University, said that while reminding health risks and reducing the willingness to smoke, warning pictures of cigarette cases will effectively curb the current trend that many high-end cigarettes are given as gifts. There are 118 countries/jurisdictions in the world that have finally determined that tobacco packaging must adopt the requirement of picture warning, covering 58% of the world population, which is an achievement of global public health.

  "In the Internet and self-media era, tobacco advertisements have spread to new media such as WeChat and Tik Tok. Therefore, banning tobacco advertisements in new media and carrying out health education on tobacco hazards are likely to affect a large number of young people and prevent them from becoming new smokers." Ma Jun, director of Peking University Children and Adolescent Health Research Institute, said.

A new asymptomatic infected person was found in Zhengzhou, which was a migrant worker.

  Cctv newsAccording to "Zhengzhou Publishing" WeChat WeChat official account News, on August 11th, 2022, from 0: 00 to 12: 00, there was a new case of asymptomatic COVID-19 infection (a person who returned to Zhengzhou from other places) in Zhengzhou. The details are hereby notified as follows:

The Confucius Institute at Tel Aviv University held the 2019 Spring Festival get-together.

  Original title The Confucius Institute at Tel Aviv University held the Spring Festival get-together in 2019.

  International Online Report (Reporter Sun Ling of China Radio International): On the evening of the 9th, the Confucius Institute at Tel Aviv University held the 2019 Spring Festival get-together. China students and Israeli college students got together, guessing riddles, eating jiaozi, singing and laughing, and celebrating the arrival of the Spring Festival in China.

  There is an innovative program at this year’s get-together. Everyone can take out their mobile phones and log on to a platform to participate in the Spring Festival custom prize-winning activities. The lively atmosphere is no less than grabbing red envelopes with WeChat. In the traditional talent show, not only China students performed programs, but also Israeli students were very enthusiastic. Two students challenged a difficult rap duet in Chinese, which won applause from everyone.

  The rapper Chen Huan, an Israeli student, said that he had studied Chinese for two and a half years and liked the songs of Mayday and Wulan Tuoya very much. He likes the Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival in China. Last year, he participated in the Dragon Boat Festival on behalf of Tel Aviv University. He thinks that the Spring Festival in China is similar to the Jewish New Year, and both are family reunion festivals. He said: "The Spring Festival in China is a very interesting festival. There are jiaozi and red Spring Festival couplets. I think it is a very interesting tradition for all families to spend the New Year together. Jews also like to eat, sing and chat with their families during the New Year, and so on. "

  Feng Xiao, a senior student at Tel Aviv University, sang a song "Young and Promising". Feng Xiao said that he studied Middle East Studies and Digital Media at Tel Aviv University, and was also responsible for the work of the Students’ Union. He liked the learning and living atmosphere of the school very much, and he would attend the Spring Festival get-together every year. He said: "My major is international, and students from more than 20 countries have studied together. I feel that it is a very rare experience for my whole life. I can get in touch with people from different places and increase my experience. For me, studying here is the right decision. I will attend the Spring Festival get-together every year, because it is a rare opportunity for everyone to get together. Usually, everyone is busy with their studies. During the Spring Festival, everyone can get together. The Confucius Institute provides a good platform for talented students to show their talents. Those who have no talents can also get together with friends and eat jiaozi, which makes them feel at home. "

  Istai, a retired journalist from Tel Aviv University, is attending the Spring Festival get-together of Confucius Institute for the second time, and he is particularly excited to participate in such activities. He said: "I used to work in Tel Aviv University as a reporter. Today, I came to class and saw the poster of the Spring Festival party, so I came. The songs they sing are very nice and great. Just twenty or thirty years ago, almost no one here knew about China, Japan and South Korea. Now, there are many understandings and exchanges between countries. "

  Wu Yang, Chinese dean of the Confucius Institute at Tel Aviv University, said that because many students have holidays every Spring Festival, the get-together will be held in advance, providing opportunities for China and Israeli students to show their talents and exchange. Not only China students, but also Israeli students are very enthusiastic about signing up, because they like singing Chinese songs and eating jiaozi in China. Wu Yang said: "Hold a Spring Festival party in advance before students go home, bring together Israeli students and China students, publicize the Spring Festival culture in China, and provide a platform for Israeli students and China students to communicate with each other. At the same time, I also hope that those China students who can’t go home for the New Year will have a New Year atmosphere here and feel the taste of the New Year. "

The box office of the Spring Festival in 2024 exceeded 5 billion yuan, and the agency expects it to exceed 7 billion yuan.

The box office of the Spring Festival in 2024 has broken 5 billion yuan.

According to the data of Lighthouse Professional Edition, as of 11: 46 on February 14th, the total box office (including pre-sale) of the Spring Festival in 2024 (February 10th-February 17th) exceeded 5 billion yuan, and YOLO’s Pegasus 2 and Boonie Bears: Time Twist were temporarily ranked in the top three box offices, and the total box office of these three films exceeded 4 billion yuan.

China Film (600977) told the The Paper reporter: "For the Spring Festival file, we think it is in line with expectations as a whole, and it also shows a good start for the film market this year."

In 2024, a total of nine films were scheduled for the Spring Festival, and as many as five films were produced and distributed by China films. At present, these five films are just the top five in the box office of the Spring Festival.

Chen Jin, a data analyst of Lighthouse Professional Edition, also mentioned that YOLO’s Pegasus 2, Boonie Bears: Time Twist and Article 20 contributed more than 95% of the box office. At the same time, the douban scores of YOLO’s "Pegasus 2" and "Article 20" are all above 7.9, which shows that both the general audience and the fans have recognized the quality of this year’s Spring Festival films.

YOLO performed brilliantly.

Among the top four movies in the box office, Chen Jin said that YOLO was the most eye-catching. The movie topped the box office on the second day of the New Year’s Day, and its box office, times, attendance and attendance rate were all one-day champions. According to the forecast of AI box office of Lighthouse Professional Edition, YOLO’s final box office is expected to exceed 4 billion.

YOLO is a work in which Jia Ling returned to the Spring Festival as a director after Hi, Mom. Jia Ling called it a film whose role has been reduced by 100 Jin, and she has become a boxer. However, the core of YOLO has nothing to do with boxing and losing weight, but a film that "learns to love herself".

For this film, Jia Ling "disappeared" from public view for more than a year, and it was precisely because of Jia Ling’s physical changes that "losing weight" became a big stunt in the film’s announcement stage. Some netizens simply and rudely calculated that if the movie finally grossed 4 billion yuan, every catty of meat lost by Jia Ling would be worth 40 million yuan.

YOLO’s filing information shows that the film was filed in June 2022 by Xinli Media Co., Ltd., which is also the producer of YOLO. The other producers are China Film Co., Ltd., Alibaba Pictures (Beijing) Co., Ltd., Tianjin Yuewen Film Culture Media Co., Ltd. and Beijing Dawan Entertainment Culture Media Co., Ltd. (Jia Ling holds 65% of the shares).

According to YOLO’s release notice, the film involves as many as 30 producers, co-producers, distributors and co-distributors. In addition, Sony Pictures officially won the global distribution rights in YOLO (excluding China and Japan) in Weibo, and earlier, the company also won the English version of the remake rights in Hi, Mom.

At present, the film is being shown, and the above-mentioned companies have not mentioned the benefits that YOLO may bring to their own companies, and most of them are guesses about the benefits that Jia Ling can get.

Compared with Jia Ling’s previous work, Hi, Mom, the film ranked third in the box office list of China film history with a score of 5.413 billion yuan. Beijing Culture (000802), which ranks first in the list of producers in Hi, Mom, has disclosed that it has benefited from Hi, Mom’s related revenue. When the cumulative box office revenue of Hi, Mom is about 2.725 billion yuan, the operating income of Beijing Culture from the box office of this film is about 60 million yuan to 65 million yuan. Traditionally, the sixth-ranked big bowl entertainment is less than Beijing culture. In other words, if Hi, Mom’s total box office reaches 5 billion yuan, Jia Ling’s income will not exceed 120 million yuan.

However, there are also media reports that this time, Jia Ling should be paid more in his new film (it is said that he earned 50 million in Hi, Mom), divided accounts, the right to speak, superimposed box office income, and Jia Ling’s commission for his new film. Analysts said that "Jia Ling’s income this time is expected to exceed 200 million yuan."

Jia Ling said at the road show in YOLO that her next work "Flowers Turn" (titled "Battle of Light") has entered the preparatory stage. The film was co-produced by the original crew of Hi, Mom and YOLO, and it is expected to be starring Jia Ling, Zhang Xiaofei and Andy.

According to the filing information of "Battle of Light" released by official website of the State Film Bureau, the filing unit of the film is WANDA CINEMAS (Hainan) Co., Ltd.

Spring Festival box office is expected to exceed brokerage expectations.

More than half of the Spring Festival holiday has passed. Up to now, only two films, YOLO and Pegasus 2, have grossed more than 1 billion yuan, and Bear Haunted: Reversing Time and Space has also performed well, with the box office exceeding 800 million yuan. In contrast, the box office of The Movie Emperor, directed by Ning Hao and starring Andy Lau, was less than expected. As of press time, the box office income was less than 72 million yuan. The other two animated films "The Lower Bound of the Eight Rings" and "Huang Qi: The Cat from Heaven" also performed poorly, and the box office income of the latter was less than 700,000 yuan.

China Merchants Securities said that the Spring Festival file is one of the core files of the whole year. From 2013 to 2023, the top two films in the Spring Festival file accounted for 60% to 80% of the box office. It can be seen that the head gathering effect of the Spring Festival file is becoming more and more obvious, and the share in the back row is severely compressed.

From 2014 to 2023, the Spring Festival has gone through 10 years, with more than 70 films released and a total box office of over 42 billion yuan. 2024 is the longest festival in history, and the main box office output day increased by 2 days compared with previous years. In the research report, Everbright Securities estimated the box office situation by using the price disassembly method and the film box office summation method. The comprehensive conclusion is that the box office of the Spring Festival in 2024 is expected to exceed 6 billion yuan.

Judging from the current box office performance, the movie box office of the Spring Festival in 2024 is likely to exceed the previous box office estimate of brokers. A film industry official told the The Paper that the box office of the Spring Festival in 2024 can surpass 6.758 billion yuan in 2023.

The Lighthouse Research Institute predicts that the total box office of the Spring Festival in 2024 will be between 7 billion yuan and 7.5 billion yuan. Chen Jin said that the 6-day Spring Festival box office in 2023 will account for 12.31% of the total box office in the whole year, and the Spring Festival box office in 2024 will last for 8 days. If the annual movie box office target in 2024 is 60 billion yuan, then the box office of the Spring Festival will exceed 7 billion yuan at a ratio of 12%.

The Paper reporters sorted out the box office data of the Spring Festival stalls in the first five years (from New Year’s Eve to the sixth day of the first month). In 2020, the Spring Festival stalls were cancelled due to the COVID-19 epidemic. The box office data from 2021 to 2023 were 7.822 billion yuan, 6.035 billion yuan and 6.758 billion yuan respectively, and the box office data in 2019 was 5.905 billion yuan.
