Ryan’s "In a hurry that year" looks retro and plays the infatuated teenager after 80 years.

The film "In a hurry that year" will land in the national cinema on December 12th.

    Directed by Zhang Yibai, the film based on Jiu Yehui’s novel of the same name will hit the national cinema on December 12th. The film, starring Eddie Peng Yuyan, NiNi, Ryan, Vision Wei and other post-80s actors, aims to present the feelings and life course of the post-80s generation. Among them, Zhao Ye, played by Ryan, has the unique rebellion and persistence of the post-80s generation, and is struggling to protect the girl he loves.

Ryan pian modeling

Director’s modeling strives for perfection. Ryan restores the truth in a retro way 

    The film "In a hurry that year" focuses on the youth story of the post-80s generation, so director Zhang Yibai is very strict about restoring the environment at that time, not only making the scene as real as possible, but also making the actors’ modeling more perfect and making great efforts. Among them, Ryan’s modeling is the most classic image of that era. When he walked into the middle school in the play, wearing a baggy school uniform, combing his hair in the middle, and holding a basketball in his hand, even he couldn’t help exclaiming, "This is just what I looked like in high school! At that time, I was also separated, and I really went back! " According to his memory, the boys in high school were very naughty, and even the way to meet and say hello was to lick each other’s pants, and this detail was finally adopted by the director and expressed in the film.

    Another classic retro style of Ryan in the film is that after he graduated from high school and didn’t go to college, he went out to mix the society and set up a stall, with a pinch of yellow hair on his head and a black vest and flowered shirt, just like a street thug. The change of modeling makes Ryan’s role more three-dimensional and his personality more prominent, which also makes this story spanning fifteen years full of real chronological texture.

Ryan’s reenactment of the infatuated teenager was deeply moved by the character.

    Many netizens who have read the original "In a hurry that year" commented that the role of Zhao Ye is a bit like that of Xu Kaiyang in "To Youth". Both of them have gone through all kinds of bitter courtship, but they still can’t get the expected love. As the actor of these two roles, Ryan thinks that the two stories and characters are still very different. "To Youth focuses on the cruelty of youth and the influence of youth on the present, but that year in a hurry is more like a beautiful memory of youth, in which everyone can find himself." When Ryan got the script, he was deeply attracted by the role of Zhao Ye, and several scenes were particularly wonderful and enjoyable, full of tension. He thinks that Zhao Ye’s persistent pursuit of the girl he likes is very touching. Although the process is tortuous, it will make people deeply moved.

Production is fixed by sales, and goods are purchased on demand … Mooncakes "exit", and the backlog of waste is gradually becoming a thing of the past.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncakes, a kind of seasonal food, quickly disappeared from major stores, and "Where did the mooncakes go" became a hot topic after the festival. In an interview recently, the reporter found that this year’s moon cakes are not only "slim" in packaging, but also more rational in production and sales: supermarkets and stores purchase goods on demand, and manufacturers set production by sales. In previous years, the phenomenon of a large backlog and waste of moon cakes after holidays has been significantly improved. Practicing economy and opposing waste is becoming a new fashion of consumption.

Merchants purchase goods on demand: discount promotion and timely clearance.

On the morning of September 15th, the reporter visited a number of supermarkets in our city and found that the mooncakes in gift boxes that were sold hot before the Mid-Autumn Festival basically disappeared, and only a few mooncakes in bulk were on sale at a discount. The staff of a supermarket told reporters that after the Mid-Autumn Festival, almost no one bought moon cakes, and they were taken off the shelves one or two days after the festival.

"One or two days before the festival, supermarkets will carry out promotional activities. Some varieties buy one get one free, and many elderly people will buy some bulk moon cakes to eat at home." Zhang Peng, manager of suguo supermarket Jiangjun Avenue Store, told the reporter that compared with bulk mooncakes, gift box mooncakes are mainly used to send benefits to relatives and friends or companies. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is basically no market. At present, all of them have been removed from the shelves, and the stores are taking the return process with dealers. "We analyzed last year’s sales and this year’s market demand before we purchased the goods. We purchased the goods on demand and tried to balance sales and inventory, so there was not much left."

An old-fashioned pastry shop in Xinjiekou launched the activity of "buy one get one free for all the mooncakes" after the festival, which attracted many elderly customers to buy them. "It will be sold at a discount these days after the holiday, and the customers are mostly elderly people." The staff in the store told the reporter that the bulk moon cakes can basically be sold out after the discount, and the boxed moon cakes will be returned to the manufacturers if there is any surplus.

The reporter saw on an e-commerce platform that the moon cake interface showed "Replenishment" and it was no longer possible to place an order. The relevant person in charge of the e-commerce platform told the reporter that in order to avoid inventory backlog, this year’s moon cakes are basically purchased on demand. Most of the moon cakes have been sold out, and only a small amount will be left, and the rest will be returned to the manufacturers for unified handling.

Manufacturers set production by sales: follow the market to adjust production.

"Moon cake sales are mainly in two ways: store retail and social group purchase. We all determine the output according to market demand to avoid overproduction caused by blind production." Nanjing Xiaosuzhou Food Co., Ltd. is an important supplier of mooncake sales in supermarkets and hotels in Nanjing and surrounding areas. Hu Xiliang, the general manager of the company, told reporters that this year, enterprises analyzed the market demand and purchasing power before production, and social group purchases placed orders first before production. "In the production process, we track the market situation every day to fix production by sales."

Hu Xijin told reporters that the production of moon cakes reached its peak in mid-August this year, and it will not be produced around September 5. "This year, a total of more than 6 million mooncakes were produced. Because of the market analysis in the early stage, the basic products produced were sold, and the sales rate reached 99.8%. The remaining small amount of moon cakes are all distributed to employees, and there is no stock at present. "

In the interview, the reporter learned that in recent years, "fixing production by sales" has become the main tone of the production and sales of Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes. Most manufacturers will arrange production plans according to the order quantity of moon cakes, the sales data of the previous year, the changes in market conditions and the inventory dynamics, so as to avoid the moon cakes returning to the factory or being scrapped due to overproduction or unsold.

The shelf life of most moon cakes on the market is less than 3 months, and the short shelf life is only ten or even a few days. Many consumers are concerned about the whereabouts of the remaining moon cakes, fearing that they will eat aged moon cakes in the next year.

In this regard, a person in charge of a moon cake manufacturer told reporters that the cost of cold storage and storage of moon cakes is higher than that of re-production. Normally, they will not choose to freeze for one year and then sell aged moon cakes. For a small amount of surplus moon cakes, in addition to distributing them to employees as welfare, some manufacturers will also sell them to related enterprises at a discount for reuse and make them into animal feed.

Closed-loop supervision of departments: dynamically tracking the flow direction of moon cakes

"Where did the moon cake go?" is not a new topic. Almost every year after the Mid-Autumn Festival, such a question will appear. The insiders of the market supervision department believe that such a topic is not "old-fashioned", which just reflects the public’s concern about food safety and food waste.

In order to protect food safety and put an end to food waste, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the market supervision department of our city carried out the dynamic supervision of seasonal food, inspected and visited shopping malls, supermarkets, pastry shops and moon cake production enterprises in the jurisdiction, and "tracked" the trend of moon cakes after the holiday.

In a large supermarket in Jiangning, all kinds of mooncake gift boxes that were placed in a conspicuous position last week have been removed from the shelves. Law enforcement officers inspected the sales ledger to learn more about the sales and disposal of the remaining moon cakes, and urged the operators to record the loss or return of unsold products, forming a closed loop of the ledger. Law enforcement officers also visited a number of moon cake production enterprises, inspected raw and auxiliary materials warehouses, production workshops, finished product warehouses, packaging workshops and other places, and compared the enterprise accounts to prevent unqualified moon cake food from flowing to the market.

The new fashion of "saving strictly and opposing waste" has given more "opening ways" to mooncakes that have not been eaten at home during the holidays. Mooncake porridge, baked mooncakes, mooncake cakes, fried mooncakes with fruits … Many consumers turn the endless mooncakes into daily food through cooking. Various creative "mooncake cooking" videos on social platforms are very popular among netizens, and some college students have exposed "fancy eating methods" such as fried mooncakes with green peppers and mooncakes with Hu spicy soup introduced in the school cafeteria.

The market supervision department said that it will continue to carry out dynamic supervision of moon cakes, accurately grasp the flow of moon cakes in sale and inventory, form a closed-loop supervision from pre-holiday protection to post-holiday inspection, and effectively protect people’s food safety. If consumers find that businesses use expired moon cakes as other food materials or change packaging to sell them in other forms, they can call the 12315 hotline to report to the market supervision department.

It is estimated that by 2030, the power demand of data centers in the United States will increase at an annual rate of about 10%.

According to articles published by Wall Street, most large models are running with them. If GPT3.5/4 is open source, it will face a devastating blow. The article believes that, first of all, the gap between major models and Open AI is still obvious, and the market space originally reserved for other major model manufacturers is already very small. The emergence of open source promotes the big model to enter the hundred-model war, but the problem is that the product homogeneity is serious and there is no ability comparable to GPT4, which will lead to the very low discourse power of the big model and the pricing of the big model will only become more and more difficult; Secondly, in order to optimize the output results, large model enterprises need to iterate the model continuously, which requires a large number of professional data feeding, so data enterprise providers will also become an important role restricting the development of large models. Finally, the training cost of the big model is very high. If you want to make a super big model, you have to work hard, that is, to see who can grab more NVIDIA A/H100 chips; Generally speaking, most large model enterprises are faced with the dilemma that it is difficult to collect fees while desperately spending money. Presumably, many large model enterprises will give up this crowded and unprofitable track in the future.

Encourage all kinds of development zones above the provincial level (high-tech zones, economic development zones and industrial parks) to set up centralized isolation points by the administrative Committee. For small and medium-sized enterprises that do not have the conditions to set up centralized isolation by themselves, the local government will make centralized arrangements.

  (4) Broaden recruitment channels.

  Strengthen labor assistance and cooperation inside and outside the province, implement the service Commissioner system for key enterprises, accurately check and publish information on employment demand of enterprises, and promote online supply and demand matching and remote recruitment.

  Second, further reduce the labor costs of enterprises.

  (5) Reducing the burden of social insurance.

  For enterprises affected by the epidemic that cannot pay the endowment insurance, medical insurance (including maternity insurance), unemployment insurance, work-related injury insurance and housing accumulation fund on time, it is allowed to postpone the payment within three months after the epidemic is lifted; Payment of social insurance fees is exempted from late fees, and related benefits are enjoyed normally, which does not affect the record of individual rights and interests of the insured. We will continue to implement the policy of reducing unemployment insurance rates and industrial injury insurance rates in stages.

  (six) the implementation of unemployment insurance return.

  We will continue to return unemployment insurance premiums to enterprises that do not lay off employees or reduce their staff, and return them according to 50% of the total amount of unemployment insurance premiums actually paid by enterprises and their employees in the previous year. Encourage enterprises affected by the epidemic to negotiate with employees to stabilize their jobs by adjusting their salaries and taking turns to rest.

Ministry of Transport: Keep track of freight rate adjustment, and organize local authorities to publicize the charging standards voluntarily.

People’s Daily Online, Beijing, January 11 According to the official website of the Ministry of Transport, on January 10, the Ministry of Transport held a video conference to cancel the work of toll stations at provincial boundaries of expressways, to study and solve the problems such as unstable operation of some provincial systems and changes in toll rates during the system conversion and running-in. The Ministry of Transport will continue to track the adjustment of truck rates, organize local governments to voluntarily disclose new charging standards, and accept social supervision.

According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport, since the switching of the networked toll collection system on January 1, the national expressway network has basically operated well, and the work of canceling the provincial toll stations of expressways has achieved initial results. As of January 9, the average congestion time of national highways was reduced by 10% compared with the same period in 2019; The average traffic speed has increased by 13% compared with the same period in 2019.

The person in charge said that the Ministry of Transport attached great importance to the problems of unstable system operation and toll rate changes in some provinces after grid-connected switching, and launched the national smart road network monitoring platform to screen toll stations with congestion length exceeding 500 meters in real time. A three-level consultation mechanism of the Ministry, the province and the station has been established, and daily scheduling and daily notification are carried out. Continuously strengthen technical support, and optimize and improve technical solutions for technical problems reflected by various places, such as CPC card application, toll rate calculation, application inspection of entrance and exit lanes of toll stations, and inspection of vehicles in Lutong.

The person in charge said that Spring Festival travel rush has started in 2020, and the new system will be tested for the first time. We will speed up the improvement of the system, ensure the stable operation, and ensure the stable operation of the networked charging system and accurate charging. Carefully review the rate. For media reports or public complaints, verify the situation one by one, and properly dispose of it according to law. If the overcharge is confirmed, it will be returned to the owner in full and in time. Strengthen joint command, rationally open ETC lanes and mixed lanes, and immediately start the dredging work if the vehicles queue up for more than a certain length to ensure the rapid elimination of congestion and ensure the convenient and efficient passage of the public.

At the same time, organize personnel such as toll collection, ETC distribution service and complaint handling, and carry out special training according to posts and types of work. Combined with the related work in Spring Festival travel rush, we will organize a special campaign to issue ETC for trucks, improve the ETC utilization rate of buses and trucks, and reduce the pressure of artificial toll lanes at toll stations. In response to public concerns and media reports, register one by one, investigate and verify one by one, handle within a time limit, and reply in time to ensure that everything has results and feedback.
