Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the prevalence rate of men over 70 years old is nearly 50%

Recent studies have found that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the significant factors that affect the death of patients in COVID-19. Among the dead people in COVID-19, the proportion of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is 6%, but only 1% among the surviving people. In addition, although patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may not be more likely to be infected with Covid-19, they are more likely to die when they are infected.

What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease? Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema characterized by airflow obstruction, which can further develop into chronic diseases of cor pulmonale and respiratory failure. Different from common chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is often not well known.

1. The prevalence rate of COPD in men over 70 years old is nearly 50%, and the difference between male and female is nearly 1 time.

According to the latest China Lung Health Survey (CPH2018), among 50,991 people surveyed from June 2012 to May 2015, the prevalence rate of COPD was 8.6%. Based on this, it is estimated that about 99,900 million people in Chinese suffer from COPD. The prevalence rate of COPD increases with age. The prevalence rate of people over 40 years old is significantly higher than that of people aged 20-39. The prevalence rate of COPD in men over 70 years old is nearly 50%. At the same time, the prevalence rate of men in all age groups is higher than that of women, and the prevalence rate of men over 30 years old is more than twice that of women.

 

                                Figure 1: Prevalence of COPD in different gender and age groups.

2. Smoking is the main risk factor, and air pollution is the main risk factor for non-smokers to get sick.

CPH2018 also made a statistical analysis of possible risk factors of COPD, including smoking, air quality, BMI, family history, education, etc. The results showed that smoking, air pollution, low BMI and parents’ history of respiratory diseases were all risk factors of COPD, among which smoking and air pollution were the main risk factors.

 

                         Figure 2: odds ratio (OR) of 2:COPD risk factors

Note: odds ratio (OR, Odds ratio) is the ratio of the exposed and unexposed people in the case group divided by the ratio of the exposed and unexposed people in the control group. Greater than 1 indicates that this factor is a risk factor, less than 1 indicates that this factor is a protective factor, and equal to 1 indicates that this factor does not work.

The analysis also shows that smoking history has a significant impact on the overall prevalence of COPD, and the prevalence of COPD increases with the increase of smoking years. Air pollution has no significant effect on the prevalence of COPD in the whole population, but it has a significant effect on non-smoking groups. The more serious air pollution is, the higher the prevalence of COPD is.

                                 Figure 5: Air quality and COPD prevalence rate

The Prospective Research Project of Chronic Diseases in China also published a survey of 280,000 non-smoking adults in China in 2019. The results show that using solid fuel is an important risk factor for major respiratory diseases, and switching to clean fuel such as natural gas can reduce the risk. Because chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is related to the concentration of sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, people who are engaged in jobs with dust environment, such as teachers and coal miners, are also prone to COPD.

3. The prevalence rate of people over 40 years old is different in different regions, with the highest in southwest China (20.2%) and the lowest in central China (10.2%).

The research conducted by China Center for Disease Control and Prevention on 66,752 people in 2014-2015 found that the prevalence rate of COPD over 40 years old also showed obvious differences in different regions, with the highest prevalence rate in southwest China (20.2%) and the lowest in central China (10.2%).

 

                        Figure 6: Prevalence rate of COPD among people over 40 years old in different regions.

4. Up to 56% of COPD patients may have cognitive impairment.

A large number of neuropsychological tests suggest that up to 56% patients may have cognitive impairment. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (GOLD)2021 also pointed out that cognitive impairment is common in COPD patients, and the prevalence and severity vary according to the evaluation type, with an average prevalence of about 32%. Moreover, cognitive impairment will aggravate the health problems of COPD patients. Compared with patients with single disease, patients with cognitive impairment and COPD have a higher respiratory-related hospitalization rate of 48% and a higher mortality rate of 3 times. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to help patients with complications to carry out effective self-management.

In addition, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, depression/anxiety are also common and important complications of COPD.

5. The mortality rate of COPD has decreased obviously year by year, but it is still high compared with other developed countries.

The mortality rate of COPD in China decreased from 99/100,000 in 1990 to 68/100,000 in 2017, and the mortality rate of standardized age decreased by 68.6%. Although the mortality rate in China is decreasing year by year, it is still at a high level compared with other developed countries (see the figure below).

                       Figure 7: Mortality rate of male COPD patients aged 50-74 in countries around the world.

 

6. The diagnosis rate is lower than 30%, and the proportion of hospitalization is lower than that of outpatient treatment.

The diagnostic rate of COPD in China is between 23.61% and 30.00%, which shows that the diagnostic rate of COPD in China is low and the missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are serious. On the one hand, COPD is asymptomatic in the early stage. In epidemiological screening, more than 70% of patients (I~II stage) have little or no symptoms, and even if they have symptoms, they just cough and expectoration, which has not attracted the attention of patients. On the other hand, due to the cost of examination and technical operation, lung function examination, as a gold standard for the diagnosis of COPD, has not been popularized in many hospitals (especially in primary hospitals), resulting in many patients not being diagnosed with COPD in time and delaying treatment.

             Table 1: COPD pulmonary function staging (GOLD staging) [After inhaling bronchodilator]

In addition, the diagnosis and treatment of COPD in China is also more severe. The conventional treatment rate of COPD patients is only 7.9%, and 84% of patients with stage ⅱ and above have not received treatment. The proportion of COPD patients receiving outpatient treatment is about 50%, while the proportion receiving hospitalization is only between 8.78% and 35.60%.

7. The average medical expenses of COPD ranged from 5,000 yuan to 16,000 yuan.

At present, no scholars have studied the medical expenses of COPD patients nationwide, and most of the research on COPD expenses is limited to local or regional areas.

A study on the medical expenses of COPD patients in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province found that from October 2012 to October 2013, the hospitalization expenses of male patients and female patients are shown in the following table. Among them, the average total hospitalization expense for men is 16,000 yuan, while that for women is 14,500 yuan, and only about 30% is borne by individuals.

 

 

                            Table 2: Hospitalization expenses of COPD patients in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province

In recent years, because the prevalence rate in southwest China is higher than that in other regions, many scholars have begun to choose southwest China to study the treatment cost of COPD patients. The following table is part of the research results, from which we can find that the overall cost of the western region is low, and the average hospitalization cost does not exceed 10 thousand yuan. In addition, according to the survey data of Sichuan province, the cost of western medicine accounts for the highest proportion, accounting for 38.32%, followed by the cost of diagnosis, accounting for 24.41%.

 

                               Table 3: Hospitalization expenses of COPD patients in western China 

8. About 58% of commonly used drugs for COPD have been included in the medical insurance catalogue.

COPD can be divided into stable stage and acute exacerbation stage according to the progress of the disease course. In the stable stage, the symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath are stable or mild, while in the acute exacerbation stage, the respiratory symptoms that lead to additional treatment are seriously aggravated, and the patients’ cough and wheezing are aggravated, or may be accompanied by fever and other inflammatory manifestations. Drug therapy is a common treatment for COPD. GOLD2021 edition points out that drug therapy can alleviate COPD symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of acute exacerbation. At present, there are data showing that drug therapy can reduce mortality. It is worth noting that COPD patients need to take drugs for a long time, mainly inhaled drugs, supplemented by oral drugs. With the progress of COPD, the therapeutic drugs and management methods used have been adjusted.

  II. Special Report on Commercial Housing Complaints

  Housing demand is one of the most important consumption needs of ordinary people, and it is usually the biggest consumption in a single expenditure. Ordinary consumers are less frequent in commercial housing transactions, lack of relevant knowledge, and real estate transactions are related to many industries such as finance, which complicates the transaction of commercial housing. Consumers often have consumption disputes while realizing their housing needs through buying and selling commercial housing.

  (A) the quality of housing, hidden mystery hard to prevent.

  In terms of housing quality,The main problems complained by consumers are: first, the poor quality of the house, cracks in the wall and ceiling, sinking of the foundation, water leakage from the roof, and blocked pipeline leakage; Second, there are hidden mysteries in finely decorated rooms, such as false materials, high-end publicity, low-standard configuration, rough technology and poor quality; The third is to cut corners in concealed works and use inferior materials; Fourth, the layout of hydropower pipelines is not standardized, and unqualified and inferior materials are used.The quality of projects in the same residential area is similar, and it is easy to cause group complaints when there are quality problems; Fifth, the house has quality problems and is not maintained in time or the maintenance quality is poor.

  For example, in 2020, Ms. Zhang purchased a commercial house in Huangdao District, Qingdao, Shandong Province, and the developer promised to deliver the house in July 2021 at the latest. In June, 2021, the developer notified the delivery of the house. However, during the house inspection, Ms. Zhang found that the steel bar at the top of the kitchen of the house was leaking, the waterproof layer of the bathroom was not laid, and the height of the house did not meet the contract. She asked the developer to make rectification, but the developer always ignored it. After receiving the complaint, Qingdao Consumer Rights Protection Committee contacted the person in charge of the developer for investigation and verification. The person in charge said that the problem reflected by Ms. Zhang was true, and she would actively negotiate with Ms. Zhang in the later stage to properly handle the rectification plan proposed by Ms. Zhang.

  For another example, in August 2021, Mr. Jiang complained to the Committee of Shanghai Consumer Rights Protection Committee, and he bought a finely decorated house, which was accepted at the end of October 2020. Shortly after check-in, it was found that the walls of many rooms were moldy and seeping, the wallpaper fell off in a large area, and the ceiling was cracked, which was reported to the developer many times. The other party sent a construction team to repair them at home. Because of the use of inferior and smelly wallpaper, the problem of wall seepage and mildew was never solved, which brought great troubles to consumers’ normal life. Mr. Jiang believes that the developer’s construction quality is poor and requires a thorough solution to the problem. Developers insist that these are normal phenomena, not construction quality problems. Experts from Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee and Jiezhuang Office visited the site. After testing, it was found that the wall fell off to varying degrees and water seepage was caused by improper handling at the grassroots level. The developer should bear the maintenance responsibility and compensate the consumers for the losses caused by the construction quality. On September 8, 2021, after on-site mediation, the two parties reached a settlement, and the developer compensated the consumer for 20,000 yuan in cash at one time, which was repaired by the consumer.

  For another example, on September 6, 2020, more than 60 owners of a Hong Kong-branded building in Guangzhou collectively reported to the Guangzhou Consumer Council that there was a serious rust problem in the water pipes of the newly acquired building in the community. Corrosion of water pipes will affect the safety of water use and greatly shorten the normal service life of water pipes, which will pose a hidden danger to the quality of houses. Some owners hired people to replace the indoor water pipes themselves, but found that they failed to dig the main water pipes according to the indoor water supply and drainage layout diagram provided by the developer. Owners have repeatedly negotiated with developers through the property, questioning the quality of the project, demanding to provide household acceptance forms, water pipe material inspection reports and concealed engineering acceptance and other relevant documents, and replacing rusty water pipes. Developers have not responded positively, but only authorized property companies to explain that water pipe rust is a normal physical phenomenon. After the Guangzhou Consumer Council intervened in the mediation, it adopted the methods of enterprise interviews and media exposure to promote it layer by layer, and urged the developers to respond and deal with it. On March 26, 2021, the two sides reached a settlement.

  [Opinions of Consumers Association]

  Article 10 of the Supreme People’s Court’s Interpretation on Applicable Legal Issues in the Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts stipulates: "If the buyer requests to terminate the contract and compensate for the losses due to the serious impact of housing quality problems, it shall be supported. The house delivered for use has quality problems, and within the warranty period, the seller shall bear the responsibility for repair; If the seller refuses to repair or delays the repair within a reasonable period, the buyer may repair it by himself or by entrusting others. The repair costs and other losses caused during the repair period shall be borne by the seller. " Therefore, when the quality of the main structure of the house is unqualified and there are serious quality problems, which affect the living of consumers, consumers can ask for the termination of the contract and claim the developer to compensate for the losses. When there are non-serious quality problems such as water seepage and hollowing in the house, the developer shall undertake the warranty obligation and be liable for compensation for other losses caused during the warranty period.

  (two) the price increase, disguised to raise the selling price

  In terms of housing prices, the main problems complained by consumers are as follows: First, buying a house is required to buy renovation packages, upgrade packages and other expenses, thus raising housing prices in disguise. Some property consultants who sell real estate with lottery numbers implicitly tell buyers that they can’t sign a house purchase contract without buying a "decoration upgrade package"; The second isFree to collect fees other than the house price, such as group purchase fee, numbering fee, renovation fee, account opening fee, etc.;The third is to confuse the down payment, down payment, intention payment, etc. Some developers collect sincerity money when selling, and turn sincerity money into a deposit and issue a special receipt when choosing a house without the consent of consumers. Refund the refund on the grounds that the deposit is not refundable in case of dispute.

  For example, in May 2019, Mr. Jiang bought a house in a real estate in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. When paying by credit card, Mr. Jiang was required to pay by two brushes, one was 2.76 million yuan and the other was 500,000 yuan. The unit names of the two receipts were different, of which 500,000 yuan was the renovation fee, and the receipt unit was a building decoration engineering company. At that time, the renovation project and standard were not given, and the content of 500,000 yuan renovation was not reflected in the contract. Later, it was learned that other owners of the same apartment with Mr. Jiang did not receive the renovation fee of 500 thousand yuan. On June 30, 2021, Mr. Jiang reported the relevant problems to Nanjing Consumers Association and asked for a refund of 500,000 yuan. After mediation by the staff of Nanjing Consumers Association Real Estate Consumer Rights Protection Committee, the company finally refunded 500,000 yuan to Mr. Jiang.

  For another example, on August 17, 2021, the Committee for the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests of Huidong County, Liangshan Prefecture, Sichuan Province received a group complaint from several owners’ representatives in a certain district about a real estate development company illegally charging 841 owners’ natural gas account opening fees. After investigation, the real estate company recently asked the owners of the community to pay a natural gas account opening fee of 3,500 yuan per household, but the purchase contract stated that the water, electricity and gas links in the community should be delivered. After many unsuccessful negotiations with the company, the owners collectively complained to the Huidong County Consumer Council. County Consumer Council has organized both parties to conduct on-site mediation for many times. The real estate company said that the energy company wanted to charge this fee, but they just collected it, but failed to show any basis for charging the initial installation fee of natural gas. The Guiding Opinions on Standardizing the Installation Fees of Urban Gas Projects jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the General Administration of Market Supervision (NDRC Price [2019] No.1131) clearly stipulates that "the installation fees of gas projects within the red line of the supporting construction planning of new commercial housing shall be uniformly included in the development and construction costs of commercial housing, and real estate development enterprises and gas enterprises shall not separately charge the buyer." The staff of the Consumer Council explained the relevant contents to the real estate company in detail. After mediation, the real estate company made a promise to the owner that it would no longer charge the initial installation fee of natural gas, and it was not allowed to charge the fee in any name.

  For another example, on September 6, 2021, the Consumer Protection Committee of Lingbi County, Suzhou City, Anhui Province received a complaint from Ms. Chen, a consumer, saying that she went to a real estate project in Lingbi County to look at the house. The salesperson verbally publicized that the middle school of the community was the school district of No.6 Middle School. After repeated confirmation by the consumer, she decided to buy and pay a subscription fund of 20,000 yuan, and then changed to subscription under the guidance of the salesperson. On July 22, the Education Bureau issued a school district division document, and the junior middle school of the property was another school, which did not meet the original promise. On July 30th, the consumer asked the salesman to check out. The salesman insisted that it was the Sixth Middle School District. The consumer asked that the Sixth Middle School District be included in the contract, but the salesman disagreed. The consumer asked the real estate company to check out and refund the deposit. After receiving the complaint, after mediation by the staff, the operator refunded the consumer a house purchase deposit of 20,000 yuan.

  [Opinions of Consumers Association]

  Article 13 of the Price Law stipulates that business operators shall clearly mark the price when selling goods and providing services, and shall not sell at a higher price than the marked price, and shall not charge any unspecified fees. Article 4 of the Supreme People’s Court’s Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts stipulates: "If the seller accepts a deposit from the buyer as a guarantee for concluding a commercial housing sales contract through subscription, ordering, reservation, etc., if the commercial housing sales contract cannot be concluded due to one of the parties, it shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the law on deposit." Article 587 of the Civil Code stipulates: "If the debtor performs the debt, the deposit shall be used as the price or recovered. If the party paying the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt does not conform to the agreement, so that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, it has no right to request the return of the deposit; If the party receiving the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt does not conform to the agreement, so that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, the deposit shall be returned twice. " In the sale of commercial housing, developers often collect consumer fees in advance in various names, such as subscription fund, sincerity fund and queuing fee, and then convert them into deposit through contracts, which limits consumers’ right to terminate contracts and damages consumers’ rights and interests. Consumers should pay attention to the contents of relevant bills and contracts to prevent the name of payment from changing.

  (3) Concealing exaggeration and inducing buyers in violation of regulations.

  In terms of sales promotion, the main problems of consumer complaints are: first, concealing the nature of the house, inducing consumers to trade in violation of regulations, such as concealing the situation of limited sales (no transfer during the restricted sales period) and the property rights of the apartment (mostly 40 years), which harms consumers’ rights and interests; The second is to make false propaganda and false promises through pictures and words, on-site display, oral promises and other forms; The third is to induce unqualified consumers to buy houses in the name of assisting in handling loans; The fourth is to conceal important unfavorable factors and not fully fulfill the obligation of informing, such as the surrounding facilities; The fifth is to exaggerate the favorable conditions of promoting houses and induce transactions, such asSchool district room,Traffic conditions, etc.

  For example, on July 23, 2021, Ms. Consumer Gong came to the Consumer Protection Committee of pinghu city, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province to complain that she and her husband came to Pinghu two months ago and ordered a commercial house in a certain building in Danghu Street on June 13. At that time, she paid a earnest money of 200,000 yuan, and only had the subscription book and the receipt. She complained that the developer did not inform that the commercial house was located next to the crematorium when she bought it, and concealed important information, and asked the developer to return the house. The developer delayed and refused to return it. After the staff of pinghu city Consumer Protection Committee received the complaint, after many times of communication, the developer agreed to refund, and the consumer expressed satisfaction.

  For another example, on July 5, 2021, consumer Mr. Dong complained to Xiamen Consumer Rights Protection Committee, saying that he signed a commercial housing sales contract with a real estate development enterprise in Xiamen on May 15, 2018, and when he was ready to take over the house in September 2020, he found that it was impossible to clarify the nature and scope of the use of the garden and basement promised by the real estate development enterprise at the time of sale. Consumers have repeatedly asked real estate development enterprises to give relevant explanations and solutions, but after ten months, the other party still has no clear reply and sincerity to solve the problem. Xiamen Consumer Protection Committee immediately launched an investigation after receiving the complaint. The person in charge of the real estate development enterprise said that the nature of the garden before and after the original promise was shared by the owners and could not be given a clear property right. Finally, after many mediations, the real estate development enterprise compensated the consumer Mr. Dong for half a year’s property fee, and the consumer agreed.

  Another example is that in early May 2021, Mr. Zhong, a consumer, took a fancy to a 79-square-meter commercial house in a real estate sales department in Weiyuan County, Neijiang City, Sichuan Province, with a total house price of more than 330,000 yuan. Mr. Zhong told the sales staff that he might not be able to apply for a loan because of the credit problem, and the sales staff said that they had channels to help consumers successfully apply for a loan from the bank. Subsequently, the two sides signed an order contract, and the consumer paid 30% of the down payment by mortgage, totaling more than 100,000 yuan. The two sides agreed that the remaining 236,000 yuan would be assisted by the sales department to apply for a loan from the bank. As the loan was not approved, consumers could not afford the remaining house payment. In early June, consumers demanded to cancel the purchase contract and refund the house payment. The developer said that if the house purchase contract is terminated, it should pay 15% of the total house price as stipulated in the contract, totaling more than 50,000 yuan as liquidated damages. Repeated negotiations between the two sides failed, and consumers complained to Weiyuan County Consumer Protection Committee on July 1. After four times of on-site mediation organized by the staff, the developer finally agreed to refund the down payment of the consumer and terminate the contract.

  [Opinions of Consumers Association]

  Consumers have the right to know the real situation of the purchased house, including the house itself, supporting facilities and surrounding planning. Article 3 of the Supreme People’s Court’s Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts stipulates: "The sales advertisements and publicity materials of commercial housing are invitations to offer, but the explanations and promises made by the seller on the housing and related facilities within the scope of commercial housing development planning are specific and have a significant impact on the conclusion of commercial housing sales contracts and the determination of housing prices, which constitute an offer. Even if the explanation and promise are not included in the commercial housing sales contract, they should be the contents of the contract. If the parties violate it, they should bear the liability for breach of contract. " Article 15 of the Measures for the Administration of Commercial Housing Sales stipulates: "The parties concerned shall agree on the matters clearly stated in the advertisements and publicity materials for commercial housing sales issued by real estate development enterprises and real estate intermediary services." In addition, the Regulations on the Publication of Real Estate Advertisements stipulates that the contents of real estate advertisements shall not contain the promise of appreciation or return on investment, shall not indicate the location of the project by the time it takes for the project to reach a specific reference, shall not violate the relevant state regulations on price management, and shall not mislead and publicize the municipal conditions under planning or construction. For housing transactions, consumers should make reasonable arrangements based on their own credit conditions. If they do not meet the credit conditions, do not trust the promise of developers or intermediaries to help successfully handle loans.

  (4) Fancy breach of contract, refusing to take responsibility for various reasons.

  In terms of contract performance, the main problems of consumer complaints are as follows: First, the delivered house is inconsistent with the model house and loushu publicity. For example, the height of the building becomes lower and there are more beams; Second, the housing area has shrunk, which is inconsistent with the area agreed in the contract; Third, the developer delayed the delivery of the house and refused to bear the liability for breach of contract; Fourth, after the delivery of the house, it is impossible to assist the owner in handling the transfer in time; Fifth, green belts, fitness areas, etc. have not been delivered with the room or changed to other uses, such as changing swimming pools into parking spaces; Sixth, use supplementary agreements and special agreements to promote unfair format clauses.

  For example, in November 2019, Mr. Pan, a consumer in Tianchang City, Chuzhou, Anhui Province, ordered a house from a real estate company in Tianchang City. At the same time, he signed an agreement to return the house without reason. The agreement stipulated that the buyer had the right to return the house without reason at any time from the date of signing the Commercial House Sales Contract and the Agreement to the date of handling the check-in formalities. Since Mr. Pan signed the contract in November 2019, the real estate company has been unable to formally sign online, so it applied for no reason to check out on November 9, 2020. However, the real estate company did not give a refund for various reasons. In June 2021, Mr. Pan complained to the Tianchang Consumer Protection Committee. The Municipal Consumer Protection Committee immediately arranged a special investigation after receiving the complaint, and the consumer complaint was true. After communication and mediation by the staff of the Consumer Protection Committee, an agreement was finally reached: the accused real estate company arranged a special person to handle the refund, and the consumer received a check-out payment of more than 640,000 yuan in late July.

  Another example is that Ms. Zhang complained to the Xiamen Consumer Rights Protection Committee that she bought a property with an area of 84.08 square meters through a real estate development company in Xiamen on July 2, 2019. When the house was delivered on June 18, 2021, the acceptance materials submitted by the real estate company showed that the actual measured area was 83.28 square meters (the area difference was 0.8 square meters, and the price difference was 31,439.2 yuan), and the real estate company indicated that the price difference would not be refunded if the area difference was less than 1% as agreed in the contract. Paragraph 1 of Article 13, Chapter 5 of the Contract stipulates that the absolute value of the error ratio of the interior construction area is less than 3% (including 3%), and the house price shall be settled according to the facts. The supplementary agreement stipulates that when the absolute value of the error ratio of the construction area is greater than 1% and less than 3%, the house price shall be settled according to the contract unit price. Consumers think that the main contract is clear and there is no need to sign a supplementary agreement. The relevant content of the supplementary agreement is a complete deviation from the main contract. There is a dispute between buyers and sellers. After investigation, Xiamen Consumer Protection Committee organized both parties to conduct on-site mediation, and Ms. Zhang proposed a plan to exempt property fees for 1-2 years, but both parties failed to reach an agreement. Later, after telephone contact, the real estate company agreed to give a broken wall machine as compensation.

  For another example, on September 9, 2021, Mr. Wu complained to the Consumers Association of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province that when signing the formal house purchase contract, Mr. Wu found that there were unequal clauses in the contract, and his liability for breach of contract was not equal to that of the developer. If Mr. Wu breached the contract, he would have to pay the developer three ten thousandths of the penalty for overdue payment, while the developer would only have to pay the consumer one thousandth of the penalty for overdue delivery. Mr. Wu objected to this clause. The developer said that the contract was a model contract provided by the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau. If you have any questions, you should consult the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau. The consumer consulted the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau and replied that the model contract was provided by the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, but the specific content was negotiated between the developer and the consumer. If there were obviously unequal terms in the contract, it was definitely not acceptable. However, the developer insisted on changing the terms of the contract and asked Mr. Wu to continue to perform the contract. After mediation by the staff of Zhenjiang Consumers Association, the person in charge of the developer agreed to refund Mr. Wu’s deposit, and stated that all the legal responsibilities in the four real estate contracts for sale in Zhenjiang would be changed to reciprocal responsibilities. Mr. Wu expressed satisfaction with the result.

  [Opinions of Consumers Association]

  It is the duty of the operator to perform the contract according to law and deliver it qualified. According to the provisions of the Civil Code, business operators should fully perform their obligations in accordance with the agreement. If the performance does not meet the agreement, they should bear the liability for breach of contract in accordance with the contract. Article 30 of the Measures for the Administration of Commercial Housing Sales stipulates: "The real estate development enterprise shall deliver the commercial housing that meets the delivery conditions to the buyer on schedule in accordance with the contract. If it fails to deliver on time, the real estate development enterprise shall bear the liability for breach of contract. " Compared with consumers, developers belong to a strong side. Some developers use deposits to fix consumers first, and then "bypass" model contracts such as supplementary agreements to force consumers to accept unfair format clauses drawn up by them unilaterally, exclude and restrict consumers’ rights, increase consumers’ responsibilities, and reduce or exempt operators’ responsibilities. Consumers either accept unfair clauses or lose deposits, which is in a dilemma.This should be severely punished.

  (5) Housing agencies, be careful when they are mixed.

  In terms of housing agencies, the main problems of consumer complaints are: First, some housing agencies resort to deceit, such as publishing false housing information, opaque housing prices, concealing the real situation of housing, etc. Second, there are some phenomena of arbitrary charges, such as collecting agency fees and bank loan fees without telling or without the consent of consumers; Third, some housing agencies violate the rules, such as revealing personal information of buyers and sellers, promising to apply for bank loans, supervising funds for buyers instead of banks, and taking the purchase money for themselves or using it for other purposes; Fourth, some intermediary companies and staff confuse the concepts of online signing for filing, online signing for intermediary, mortgage, etc., misleading buyers, so that they can not realize online signing transfer after paying down payment and intermediary fees; Fifth, some use standard clauses to infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of consumers or fail to perform in accordance with the contents of the contract.

  For example, in May 2021, Mr. Jiang from Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province purchased a second-hand house through Huangyan Kaihong Real Estate Agency. Later, when Mr. Jiang went through the transfer formalities, he had to pay 5.6% value-added tax and additional taxes in full because the property was less than two years old. Mr. Jiang thinks that the intermediary clearly introduced the property right of the property for more than two years, but now it is less than two years, which is inconsistent with the reality, so he complained to Taizhou huangyan district Consumer Rights Protection Committee. After receiving the complaint, the staff contacted both parties to mediate. Because the gap between the two parties’ demands for fee reduction was too large, the mediation was unsuccessful. Mr. Jiang said that it would be resolved through legal channels.

  Another example is that in July 2021, Ms. Wang bought a house through a real estate agent in Jiyuan City, Henan Province. On the day of signing the contract, Party A claimed that the real estate license was lost, and repeatedly guaranteed that the real estate area was 116 square meters. The consumer paid 50,000 yuan in advance to the real estate agent. Later, when consumers went to the bank to handle the loan procedures, they learned that the actual registered area of the property was 113.22 square meters, which was 2.78 square meters less than that in the contract. The consumer immediately reported the problem of area discrepancy with the real estate agent. After the intermediary learned it, it proposed to negotiate with Party A to reduce the original transaction price by 30,000 yuan, but Party A did not agree. The consumer asked for a refund of 50,000 yuan, and the person in charge of the real estate agent said that he could only refund 30,000 yuan. On September 3, consumers complained to Jiyuan Consumer Rights Protection Committee. After mediation, the three parties finally reduced the transaction price of the original contract by 20,000 yuan and reached a settlement agreement.

  [Opinions of Consumers Association]

  Article 22 of the Measures for the Administration of Real Estate Brokers stipulates: "When a real estate brokerage institution signs a house sale or lease brokerage service contract with a client, it shall check the house entrusted for sale or lease, the certificate of ownership of the house, the identity certificate of the client and other relevant materials, and shall prepare a housing condition statement. After the written consent of the client, the corresponding listing information can be released to the public. " Before signing the real estate brokerage service contract, the real estate brokerage agency and broker shall truthfully explain the relevant contents of the real estate brokerage service contract and the house sales contract to the client, and truthfully inform the rights and obligations of all parties.Real estate brokerage institutions and brokers who fail to fulfill their due obligations and cause losses to consumers shall be liable for compensation.

  III. Opinions of China Consumers Association on the commercial housing industry

  (a) adhere to the "housing", safeguard the healthy development of the real estate market and the legitimate rights and interests of housing consumers.With the continuous implementation of real estate control policies, the real estate industry has gradually entered an adjustment period. However, some real estate operators have not got rid of the seller’s market thinking, and are still using their strong position to "squeeze" consumers through various means to make profits. In the face of policy adjustment and market changes, relevant operators should change their business philosophy, strive for development by quality, seek benefits from service, base on long-term development, abandon short-sighted behavior, strictly implement relevant laws, regulations and policy documents such as the Civil Code, the Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests, the Urban Real Estate Management Law, the Measures for the Administration of Commercial Housing Sales, and the Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts, so as to earnestly undertake due obligations and responsibilities and protect the legitimate rights and interests of buyers.

  (two) real estate enterprises should operate in good faith according to law, quality and quantity of qualified delivery.Real estate enterprises should ensure the quality of houses in strict accordance with building quality standards, deliver qualified houses and documents such as Residential Quality Guarantee and Residential Instruction Manual to consumers, and put an end to shoddy construction, Jerry-building, false propaganda, improper induction, unauthorized changes, arbitrary breach of contract, bundled price increases, arbitrary charges, overlord clauses, prevarication and other issues, and give back to the trust of consumers with good quality and sincere service. The project supervision unit shall give full play to its role, supervise the construction quality and strictly control it in accordance with laws, regulations and relevant technical standards, design documents and construction project contracts.

  (three) the housing intermediary institutions should strengthen management, effectively restrain employees, and earnestly fulfill their due obligations.We should strictly abide by the Measures for the Administration of Real Estate Brokers and other regulations, abide by professional norms and ethics, mark the service items, service contents, charging standards and related real estate prices and information in a prominent position in the business premises, carefully check the houses and house ownership certificates entrusted for sale or lease, the identity certificates of the clients and other relevant materials, and explain to consumers in detail the relevant contents of real estate brokerage service contracts, house sales contracts or house lease contracts, especially the real situation of houses and important contents related to consumers’ interests. Housing agencies should eliminate the information gap, provide convenience for all parties to the transaction, effectively enhance the service value, and put an end to publishing false information, concealing the real situation, using unfair format terms and other violations of consumers’ legitimate rights and interests.

  (4) Consumers should pay attention to seeing more and asking more questions when buying a house, and strengthen self-protection.It is necessary to carefully check the qualifications and credibility of real estate development enterprises and housing intermediaries. When buying a new house, pay attention to the State-owned Land Use Right Certificate, Construction Land Planning Permit, Construction Project Planning Permit, Construction Project Construction Permit, Commercial Housing Pre-sale Permit or Commercial Housing Sales Permit. For the location, environment and supporting facilities of the house, don’t trust verbal promises, and important contents must be written into the contract. Pay attention to the understanding of housing property rights, purchase restriction policies, loan conditions and other related content. If you don’t meet the conditions for buying a house, don’t take chances and hope that the operators will make false promises. Before signing the contract, you should carefully read and fully understand the terms of the contract, supplementary agreements and contract annexes, such as housing area, floor, housing number, housing price, delivery time, delivery standards, conditions for terminating the contract, and liabilities for breach of contract. We should pay attention to the preservation of the publicity materials, purchase contracts, payment bills, model housing materials and other evidence of real estate and intermediary, so as to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. When accepting the house, the quality of the house project and supporting facilities should be checked and accepted one by one according to the standards agreed in the purchase contract, and records should be made. If conditions permit, relevant supervision institutions and professional house inspectors can be hired to check and accept together, and pay attention to checking and keeping the Residential Quality Guarantee and the Residential Instruction Manual. In case of disputes, safeguard rights in time according to law.

Central environmental protection inspector looks back: pollution monitoring data of enterprises in many places is fraudulent

   CCTV News: Gongyi, Henan: It is false data that evades supervision and online monitoring.

   Online monitoring of pollutants is an effective means to objectively reflect whether the pollutants discharged by enterprises meet the standards. In order to prevent the falsification of enterprise data, at present, third-party operation and maintenance enterprises are introduced to supervise the data in many places, but some enterprises still evade supervision by fiddling with the data. Looking back, investigators and reporters of the Central Environmental Protection Inspector recently found that a carbon factory in Mihe Town, gongyi city had made great efforts in emission data.

  Far away from gongyi city Rongxin Carbon Products Co., Ltd., the reporter saw the thick smoke emitted by the enterprise, so he immediately started the drone for aerial exploration and found that the exhaust emission of the enterprise was seriously trailing, which was obviously not up to standard.

  Reporter:Is this line (up to standard)?

  Zhang Yibo, head of carbon environmental protection in Rongxin, gongyi city, Henan:No (up to standard).

  Reporter:Is it always like this?

  Zhang Yibo, head of carbon environmental protection in Rongxin, gongyi city, Henan:Found today, online data can be (up to standard).

  Reporter:Why can’t cigarettes (meet the standard) and online data (meet the standard)?

  The actual emission is not good, and the monitoring data is ok. What logic is this? At first, the reporter thought it was wrong, but in front of the display screen of waste gas emission, the reporter did see that the emission data of sulfur dioxide was 20 mg per cubic meter, far below the national emission standard, and after 20 minutes, the investigators found that the data was reduced to 4 mg per cubic meter.

  Reporter:Can this enterprise achieve ultra-low emissions?

  Qi Yongjun, Director of the Industrial Office of Mihe Town, gongyi city, Henan:Can it meet the standard? This machine has the final say, and they can’t get in.

  How did this data come from? In the online monitoring workshop of the enterprise, the reporter found the answer. According to environmental laws, monitoring instruments are controlled by a third party, and only the third-party operation and maintenance enterprises can enter the interface of parameter setting. Sewage enterprises only have the operator’s permission to browse, and they can’t enter the administrator’s interface to change parameters without a password. However, on-site reporters can directly enter the interface of parameter setting without any password, and parameters that can affect the final emission data, such as range and slope, can be reset, which opens a convenient door for falsifying and modifying data.

  Engineering staff of Gongyi Office of Beijing Xuedilong Technology Co., Ltd.:What company are you from? You are from the office of Cidilong Gongyi. How did you get in? They restarted the computer and went directly to that interface.

  Xing Changcheng, Director of the Second Division of the State Environmental Protection Supervision Office:Because many of the costs of third-party operation and maintenance are paid by enterprises, some third-party enterprises, maybe some third-party enterprises, especially online operation enterprises, are bound to obey or succumb to the wishes of enterprises, which will cover up some illegal sewage discharge behaviors of enterprises.

  Danyang, Jiangsu: Longjiang Steel’s excessive emission data is suspected of fraud.

  During the period when the central environmental protection inspector looked back and stationed in Jiangsu Province, the inspector group received a report from the masses that Longjiang Iron and Steel in Danyang City, Zhenjiang was suspected of illegal sewage discharge. The reporter immediately rushed to Zhenjiang Danyang Longjiang Iron and Steel Company with the investigators of the East China Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and found that the real-time emission data of sulfur dioxide of the enterprise was suspected of serious fraud.

  Reporters and inspectors immediately rushed to the vicinity of Longjiang Iron and Steel in Danyang City. In this affiliated enterprise of Longjiang Iron and Steel, several workers were working in the open air.

  Employees of Hebei Jianqiao Metallurgical Company:Into the factory.

  Reporter:Who do you work for?

  Employees of Hebei Jianqiao Metallurgical Company:Longjiang iron and steel.

  Employees of Hebei Jianqiao Metallurgical Company:I can spray if I want, or I can’t spray if I don’t want. You can talk to my leader. You don’t belong to my leader.

  Standing in a high-rise building not far from Longjiang Iron and Steel, we can clearly see the emission situation of Longjiang Iron and Steel. The inspectors and reporters spent the whole morning observing and found that the smoke emitted by the desulfurization tower of the sintering machine of the enterprise was obviously different from the steam next to it, and the steam would soon disappear, while the smoke from the desulfurization tower was very long, which obviously exceeded the standard.

  Han Hong, cadre of East China Supervision Bureau of Ministry of Ecology and Environment:This is the blue smoke just now, which is quite obvious.

  Inspectors were shocked when they came to this steel enterprise to check the emission data. The original data showed that the concentration of sulfur dioxide raw flue gas was only twenty or thirty milligrams per cubic meter, and the final treated emission concentration was almost zero. The person in charge of enterprise environmental protection said that they used foreign ore with low sulfur content, so the concentration of sulfur dioxide in flue gas was obviously low.

  Danyang Longjiang Iron and Steel Environmental Protection Director:Sometimes not.

  Reporter:How much is the lowest time.

  Danyang Longjiang Iron and Steel Environmental Protection Director:Is zero. The tail is very long, it is steam, and steam should not tail, it should not.

  The reporter learned that the waste gas from the sintering machine is not only determined by the sulfur content of mineral powder, but also related to the burning blast furnace gas, coke oven gas and pulverized coal coke powder, which should be several hundred milligrams per cubic meter. It is impossible for the untreated waste gas concentration to be only 20, and the real-time emission data of sulfur dioxide from enterprises is suspected of serious fraud.

  Fengcheng, Jiangxi: The Cat-and-Mouse Alliance Behind dongjiang environmental protection

  In November, 2016, the Fourth Environmental Protection Inspector Group of the Central Committee assigned the fifty-eighth question to Jiangxi Province, pointing out that environmental violations are common in hazardous waste business units in Jiangxi Province, among which the permitted scope of hazardous waste business licenses of enterprises such as dongjiang environmental protection in Jiangxi Province exceeds the actual disposal capacity. One and a half years have passed. How is the rectification of this enterprise named by the Central Environmental Protection Inspector Group? Come to see the reporter’s investigation.

  Dongjiang environmental protection is a listed company specializing in hazardous waste disposal, with more than 40 types of hazardous waste management qualifications. The time limit for rectification announced by Jiangxi provincial government is the end of April 2017. At the disposal site of dongjiang environmental protection Company in Fengcheng, Jiangxi Province, the person in charge of the company said that the rectification measures required by the central environmental protection inspector have been completed as scheduled, and the company is operating normally at present, and the control level of pollution discharge, especially dioxin, is the highest in China.

  Dioxin is a fat-soluble substance with serious toxicity, and it is difficult to degrade and eliminate it naturally once it enters the natural environment. Its toxicity is 900 times higher than that of arsenic. It has a strong carcinogenic and teratogenic effect on human beings. The International Center for Research on Cancer has listed it as a human first-class carcinogen. In order to reduce the emission of waste gas including dioxin and sulfur dioxide, the national standard requires that the temperature of the first combustion chamber must be above 850 degrees and the temperature of the second combustion chamber must be above 1100 degrees.

  Reporter:What happens if it’s below 850 degrees?

  Luo Yansheng, General Manager of Jiangxi dongjiang environmental protection Company:If it is lower than this temperature, dioxins will be produced.

  However, in the investigation, it was found that in the operating records of dongjiang environmental protection Company, especially in the late midnight to early morning, the temperature requirements of the first and second combustion chambers were often lower than 850 and 1100 degrees. In the operation records, the reporter also found that the concentrations of sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, etc. often exceed the standard, and even discharged through the bypass, which means that the waste gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere through the bypass pipeline without treatment.

  However, in the online monitoring room of the enterprise, the reporter found that the data are normal, far below the emission limit. Why are all kinds of over-standard data recorded by hand normal on automatic online instruments? The reporter noticed that the parameter settings can be directly opened from the operator’s interface, and various parameters such as range and slope of monitoring exhaust gas can be modified.

  Cai Zhirui, Head of Online Workshop of Jiangxi dongjiang environmental protection Company:Theoretically, it is.

  As sewage companies can only browse monitoring data as operators, how did they get into the interface of administrator? The reporter asked the person in charge of environmental protection of dongjiang environmental protection Company to call the third-party operation and maintenance enterprise, and found that the password of the administrator had already been given to dongjiang environmental protection.

  Dongjiang environmental protection staff:What is the administrator password?

  Dongjiang environmental protection staff:Or sick.

  Agent of Sike Company, a third-party operation and maintenance enterprise:Yes, you need to change it.

   Xing Changcheng, Director of the Second Division of the State Environmental Protection Supervision Office:For the sake of temporary economic benefits, enterprises use this kind of false data to cover up an illegal fact that they are not operating normally. If this situation still exists until the inspector enters, isn’t it obvious fraud to let the false data of enterprises get away with it for a long time?

  At present, Jiangxi fengcheng city has asked the enterprise to stop production and rectify. Many responsible persons of this enterprise, including legal persons, have been criminally detained by Jiangxi fengcheng city Public Security Bureau, and our station will further follow up the case handling.

30 billion box office is not enough. Huge capital is changing the film pattern in China.

NeoImage_ copy.jpg

At present, the strong attraction of China movies to outside funds is unstoppable.


    Special feature of 1905 film network At present, the movie market is the most "not bad money" in China: the box office output has increased by more than 30% for six consecutive years, and the total amount is expected to exceed 30 billion this year, achieving a 200% increase in the number of people watching movies. Under such an industrial background, funds from all walks of life are scrambling to enter the film and television industry, and film companies are constantly expanding their business maps. As of the first three quarters, the total capital operation value of the film and television industry has already reached tens of billions, far behind the "seemingly amazing" box office estimate. It can be said that capital is constantly changing the pattern of China films.

 

   Now the question is, what kind of influence does such frequent and huge capital operation have on the future development of China films?

 

Multi-layout of "Internet-based" M&A and expansion of film industry

 

    In the first three quarters of 2014, Huayi Brothers made frequent moves in the Internet field: in June, it acquired the selling network; In July, the online game strategic plan was announced at China Joy (China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Exhibition); In August, the new media platform Star Shadow Alliance was launched to develop fan economy … … In response to these attempts, Wang Zhonglei, president of Huayi Brothers, responded in an industry forum: "With the advent of the Internet era, Huayi’s corporate structure and business layout are bound to change. We need to constantly strengthen inter-industry cooperation to adapt to the development trend of the network economy. "

 

    At present, Huayi Brothers is deploying its interactive entertainment business group. In fact, as early as four years ago, they began to target the Internet industry for multi-party layout. In June 2010, Huayi acquired a 22% stake in Palm Technology for 145 million yuan. In 2011, Tencent was introduced as a strategic investment partner. In 2012, Huayi International, a wholly-owned subsidiary, invested in Domi Music. In 2014, Huayi once again spent 672 million yuan to control Guangzhou Yinhan Technology. For the purpose of acquisition, the company explained: "Improve the layout of the industrial chain and bring new revenue growth points to both parties."

 

    This model has been widely recognized in the process of the integration of traditional film and television companies and the Internet. In addition to Huayi Brothers, Enlight Media also successively invested RMB 160 million and RMB 230 million in two online game companies, Fun Life and Xianhai Technology, and then spent RMB 176 million and RMB 208 million to win the hot air network and animation company Guangzhou Blue Fox. Li Li, chairman of Heli Guang Chen International Culture Media, said that for traditional film companies, the space of the online market is huge: "In 2013, the box office revenue of several major film companies was 4 billion yuan, while the Internet industry only brought related benefits from the game industry chain, which exceeded 80 billion yuan."

 

The pace of industry integration of film and television companies to "de-film" has accelerated.

 

    On October 23rd, Huayi Brothers officially announced its third quarter 2014 financial report. It shows that the company’s film business income dropped by 74.76% compared with the same period of last year, but the overall operating profit maintained a growth of 13.07%. These data are enough to show that Huayi Brothers is fully implementing the development strategy of "de-filming". Wang Zhonglei said that Huayi Brothers expects to rely on the expansion of downstream industries to bring about the brand’s liquidity, and on the basis of maintaining the two core advantages of film content and star-making ability, accelerate the pace of business integration of the company.

 

    China’s film industry needs to own and improve its industrial chain if it really wants to compete with Hollywood. And a complete industrial chain means that online and offline must develop simultaneously. On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, Huayi Brothers announced the opening of "Huayi Xiaogang Feng Film Commune" and officially launched the cultural tourism project. Light Media, which urgently needs to explore business transformation, has also planned to spend 10 billion yuan to build "China Film World" in Shanghai. However, compared with the "Oriental Film Capital" built by Wanda Group, a subsidiary of Wanda Pictures, which cost 50 billion yuan, it was immediately "dwarfed". If Leonardo DiCaprio, Nicole Kidman and other Hollywood superstars were invited to help open the red carpet a year ago, it still belongs to the local tyrants’ school, then the film and television base under construction, which integrates the comprehensive functions of film and television location, film and television production, film and television exhibition and film and television tourism, has begun to take on the momentum of "Oriental Hollywood". As a pioneer in the combination of film and real estate, Wanda has identified film production base and cultural real estate as new areas of core functional industries, attracting domestic and foreign film and television companies to settle down, which indicates that China film industry has taken a key step towards Hollywood’s mature development layout model.

 

    In the third quarter of 2014, the performance of LeTV and its LeTV film industry was quite eye-catching. Its own network DNA allows LeTV to save the link of "internetization" and focus more on downstream industries. While relying on movies such as TV and TV to seize the market share of the big screen, we have completed the construction of the whole product line of super tv. The performance report shows that the sales volume of its super tv products has increased rapidly, and the ecological effect has been highlighted, which has helped the company to establish a diversified business model of "diversified content+diversified channel layout+diversified users+diversified income" and promoted the company’s profit to increase steadily.

 

Outside the film industry, financial capital and traditional enterprises have entered the market one after another.

 

    Not only do film and television companies choose to diversify their industry layout and obtain capital support through different channels, but a large number of financial capital and enterprises in traditional industries also prefer this industry. On the one hand, the booming film and television industry in recent years makes investors expect to get high returns in a short time; On the other hand, it also shows the urgent transformation needs of some traditional enterprises. Therefore, compared with the situation in the same period in 2013, most of the industry mergers and acquisitions were led by tycoons such as Huayi Brothers and Light Media, the trend of film and television resources integration spreading to the outside world in 2014 was quite obvious.

 

    In the past, PE(Private Equity Private Equity Fund) has been simply seeking cooperation with initial public offerings. Huayi Brothers, Huace Film and Television and other companies have successfully listed through this cooperation model. Nowadays, with the expansion of the film and television industry capital market, PE has gradually withdrawn from IPO business, and the concept of "M&A fund" has begun to rise, and it is not difficult to find the figure of cultural and entertainment industry. Relevant people in the industry pointed out that under the premise that the expected profit is optimistic and the industrial income is growing, film and television are very competitive in attracting investment in the financial industry. Compared with the long capital freeze period and fluctuating yield of IPO, the return on investing in movies is obviously faster and much higher than the former.

 

    According to statistics, as of press time, the total value of capital operation involving the film and television industry in 2014 has exceeded 10 billion. In addition to the financial industry mentioned above, many traditional enterprises have begun to choose "cross-border" under the influence of factors such as the investment profit rate and the decline of main business profits. In August, Zhongji Holdings, which transformed from the traditional manufacturing industry, spent 1.5 billion yuan to bring Confucianism Xinxin Film into the door; In September, Royal Dairy officially issued an announcement to purchase 100% equity of Yujia Film and Television for 205 million yuan; During the Golden Week of November, Beijing tourism was in the limelight for a while because of investment. In the end, the box office of this film broke through the 1.1 billion mark, and another work that was previously released also achieved good results. The industry estimated that Beijing tourism could gain 100 million yuan by relying on the transformation of film and television this year, which more than tripled the net profit of 32 million in the same period last year. Judging from the company’s fixed-income plan, they will also plan to raise 3.3 billion yuan, of which 2.52 billion yuan will be used to acquire three cultural media and brokerage companies, completely shifting their business from a single tourism service to paying equal attention to tourism and film and television culture.

 

High return leads to capital aggregation, cross-border financing enhances professionalism and avoids risks.

 

    On the one hand, the traditional industry is caught in the predicament of slow development, and on the other hand, the film and television industry is facing the opportunity of market expansion. At present, the strong attraction of China films to foreign funds is unstoppable. For those investors who have fought many battles, what is there in the film circle that is worth throwing money into?

 

    Gao Jun, general manager of Guosheng Film, pointed out in an interview with 1905 Film Network: "What do these outside investors see? It is a return of 10 million yuan and 300 million yuan. It is a myth that investing 30 million yuan to earn 1.2 billion yuan. In contrast, the investment prospects of other industries are much dimmer, which also makes China’s film and television industry form a capital aggregation effect. " However, Gao Jun also admitted that most irrational investments that lack the guidance of professional teams will become bubbles: "The annual output of movies can reach 700-800, while only 200-300 are in the cinema. Even if you enter the cinema, it is not 100% profitable, basically following the 2: 8 law, and only 20% make money. " About three years ago, all kinds of hot money poured into the film circle, and all kinds of small movies came one after another. Gao Jun once revealed that a boss invested in a movie and lost all his money. He almost jumped out of the window in front of him. In these three years, after the survival of the fittest, those who blindly invest are not without, but the cakes left to them are getting smaller and smaller, and the industry is developing and maturing. Those who can stay must have their own advantages.

 

    Abandoning the blindness of "no return" to enter the film industry, now hot money outside the industry begins to operate in a standardized way through formal capital channels and professional venture capital teams, which not only reduces investment risks, but also ensures investment returns. For example, in September 2014, LeTV Pictures, which ranked TOP3 in the mainland film company, completed the B round of financing with the participation of Hengtai Capital and other companies, with a quota of 340 million; In the same month, Huanya Media Group, a well-known entertainment company, jointly established Longhu Capital with SM Entertainment and Fubon Group to raise funds for international investors, with the first-stage target of 100 million US dollars (about 600 million yuan). The combination of film and television companies and capital is more standardized and systematic.

 

tag

 

    Both foreign investors holding hot money and film and television companies in the ups and downs industry have seen the unstoppable trend of cultural industry upgrading behind the box office output of China films. For investors, this is an opportunity that the capacity and consumption power are still growing and the prospects are bright. In the eyes of film and television companies, the current rapid development of the industry provides them with an excellent platform to extend the industrial chain and broaden business channels. In a word, the box office revenue of 30 billion yuan can’t meet the rapidly developing market demand and space. Industry capital will realize the change from quantity to quality through the integrated operation of seizing every minute, and jointly help China film industry to mature.

Legend of Deification: The Fantasy of Sound and Painting and the Innovation of Content of Domestic Animation Films

       Original title: The dreamland of sound and painting and the innovation of content of domestic animated films.

       Since the release of domestic animated films, they have encountered polarized word-of-mouth differences. Undoubtedly, affirming and supporting the development of domestic animated films is the premise for everyone to comment on Legend of Deification. However, this kind of affirmation and support should not be influenced by the surging patriotic feelings, but should be rationally analyzed and thought within the scope of art. In this way, domestic animated films can find a correct and healthy way of sustainable development without being swayed by loneliness or being confused by sweet words.

Fantasy of sound and painting: the game between the advantages and disadvantages of animated films

Compared with live-action movies, animated movies show the characteristics of media materials themselves, showing a very personalized image style. With the continuous popularization and promotion of digital technology, animated films are more fluent and skillful in creating the illusion of sound and painting. Legend of Deification, which has been created for four years, gives the audience a brand-new "deity world" in visual presentation.

In the past, the Youdu Mountain, Guixu, Ladder and Beihai, which existed in myths and legends, were all rendered and displayed in an all-round way in a complete paragraph in Legend of Deification with a form of great visual impact. Compared with the daily connection brought by "truth" in live-action movies, animated movies rely on lines and color blocks to create an image world, which is more mysterious in the unknown world. In other words, even if it appears in a concrete form and image, people still can’t compare it with the objects in their lives because of stylized media materials, so they can maintain the integrity of a unique aesthetic world.

On the other hand, due to habitual cognition, animated films are often simply equated with cartoons. In fact, animated film is not only a children’s film, but also a film type. Look at the screening halls in Legend of Deification. Children under 14 are everywhere. This is unimaginable for a live-action movie. The decline in the threshold for watching movies means that animated films may have a far-reaching impact and are more conducive to the realization of cultural shaping functions. At the same time, animated films can also be strongly related to the popular secondary culture, and can be widely spread through the cooperation of various sub-groups. The illusion of sound and painting created by animated films is quite attractive to young people.

However, the high dependence of animated films on technology also produces instability. Once the technology is insufficient, it will lead to the rupture of the illusion of sound and painting. This kind of rupture is fatal to animated films, which will interrupt the closed state of the audience in the process of watching movies, thus greatly reducing the viewing experience. It can be seen that in Legend of Deification, technical support has done its best, and many scenes show the progress of current animation technology. However, there are still many obvious defects that need to be repaired. For example, when Jiang Ziya was running towards the market with a girl in his arms, his feet were suspended from the ground and lacked the necessary strength and speed. In addition, Jiang Ziya in close range also lacks the necessary upper body details. This is not consistent with the running state. In the absence of corresponding action performance, the vividness of the voice is embarrassing. Because when you obviously can’t see the running state of the character, there is a hard gasp in your ear. This embarrassment will inevitably weaken the attraction to the audience and eventually become the Achilles heel of the work.

New Content: Modern Narration of China’s Story

Telling the story of China well is the mission of contemporary literary creation. Legend of Deification is the modern narrative of China’s story. In the form of animated films, it presents a fairy tale circulating in the blood of China people’s culture. The film tells the story of Jiang Ziya, including not only the remolding of the characters, but also the overall adjustment of the story structure.

The image of Jiang Ziya, the hero, has gone through three stages: youth, middle age and old age. The work shows the process of Jiang Ziya’s belief from establishment, breaking to remolding, instead of directly appearing as the familiar image of "Jiang Taigong", giving the audience a new historical explanation. In addition, there are obvious differences in the image-building of other characters such as Su Daji, Zhou Wang, Nine-tailed Fox and Shen Gongbao. Su Daji has changed from an adult female image that has brought disaster to the country and people to an innocent girl image. All these, to name a few. The drastic change in image gives people a refreshing feeling.

In the story structure, Legend of Deification also has many bright spots. First of all, the focus of the film story is no longer Zhou Wang, da ji and King Wu, but Jiang Ziya’s repeated trials of personal beliefs. The story broke away from the original historical level and continued to speak to the mythical level. Cutting becomes an opportunity, and the key lies in whether to kill the nine-tailed fox. Jiang Ziya’s indecision is an individual’s vigilance against the loss of human nature in the process of evolving into the so-called "God". Secondly, the film takes the nine-tailed fox as the opponent’s strength, and displays it with rich colors, which endows it with tragic color to a certain extent, but from a more essential level, it is to help Jiang Ziya complete the experience of breaking the authority. When Jiang Ziya began to doubt whether "one person" and "sentient beings" were more important, the master who was originally in his heart had actually fallen off the altar.

The change of these two dimensions not only changed Jiang Ziya’s historical narrative, but also changed Jiang Ziya’s behavioral motivation as a mythical figure, and finally shaped him into a modern man. Not afraid of authority, keeping the original heart, became the summary of Jiang Ziya’s spirit.

Literary and artistic works are bound to change, but the changes need to be balanced. Changed, the character story is beyond recognition; Change less, and it’s the same old tune, which is boring. On the whole, Legend of Deification is a relatively successful work. However, there are still some shortcomings in theme refinement and narrative rhythm. The film takes Jiang Ziya’s "personal and ordinary people" inquiry as the core theme, which to some extent lacks resonance with the general audience. Moreover, Jiang Ziya’s inner changes in the film lack great ups and downs, and the protagonist can’t actively promote the progress of the story, which leads to the story being relatively dull, falling into the cliché of narrative procrastination and disordered rhythm, and weakening the strength of the characters. In addition, too many big scenes and a little tired relationship construction make the story telling slow and heavy. This enlightens us that, for China animated films along the way of Princess Iron Fan, Making a scene in Heaven and Lotus Lantern, with the support of rich historical and cultural resources and advanced digital technology, we need to continue to work hard and strive for perfection. (Author Teng Xiaojuan, a lecturer in college of nanjing normal university)

Luxury cars bring Wu Yifan’s strength "out of the circle", what Easter eggs did the star cross-border bury?

As is known to all, Wu Yifan has a good time crossing borders.

At first, Wu Yifan was not named Wu Yifan, but Li Jiaheng. When his parents divorced at the age of 10, he immigrated to Vancouver, Canada with his mother, and then changed his name to Wu Yifan, which means "life is neither complicated nor extraordinary".

It was probably from that moment that the compass of fate began to turn.

Basketball player, Korean pop idol, film and television actor, hip hop singer, trendy brand founder, there are countless labels attached to him. If there is a Serial Entrepreneur, then he is a continuous "crossover".

Today, he is going to play drag racing with Jason Statham at the Bird’s Nest again. The collision between the fierce man and the little fresh meat quickly attracted the attention of the melon-eating crowd, and also made people dig out Wu Yifan’s original love for racing.

Wu Yifan’s love for racing is certainly not overlooked.

It is rumored that his appearance fee is as high as 120 million yuan, but Mercedes-Benz A "tricked" Wu Yifan to the event in August last year with a test drive invitation letter for 1 cent. At that time, he was by no means simple to show his face. He also changed into a special racing suit and drove a C63A on the track.

What’s more exaggerated is that after the release of Wu Yifan’s new song "Coupe" MV at the end of last year, he said in an interview with Billboard: "I brought all 10 of the MV, my personal car, and they look very cool."

Some people say that "ten things are not as good as three, and three things are not as good as the same." Wu Yifan’s three days of fishing and two days of drying the net is a manifestation of "not doing his job properly". As everyone knows, this is an important reason why it has become a top traffic.

In fact, in addition to celebrities who like to play crossover, the way car companies "deserted" can also be described as eclectic.

Such as celebrity endorsements.

In recent years, there are not a few stars who have "gotten on the bus": Hu Ge has become the "co-production" partner, Gu Tianle and Guan Xuan have joined hands; Li Jian is enough to stand by, and Zhiling’s sister’s endorsement has brought a touch of elegance to XC40; and the most talked-about recently, Jason Statham has become the spokesperson.

For automakers, seeking celebrity endorsements may have little effect on "bringing goods".

After all, it’s not lipstick, and it’s not that Li Jiaqi can boost sales by shouting a few omg words, but car companies still choose to play "cross-border" in various ways, the purpose of which is to "get out of the circle".

In the information age, "out of the circle" is often more important than "rating". "Out of the circle" brings higher visibility and more traffic. To sum up in an Internet saying, this is calledFollowing the ecological layout, sooner or later you will encounter trends

The significance of "out of the circle" is so great, and it is not difficult to understand why.

On the one hand, behind the development of the market, the rise of new consumer groups, their consumer demand has spread to more and more fields, the demand for any product is not just to meet the basic functional needs, but to reflect a lifestyle or personal value or their own taste.

On the other hand, in the market environment, the competition between brands determines their strength.

The era of one company, one brand, and one product going it alone is long over, because any excellent brand, due to the singleness of its characteristics, is more affected by "externalities" and has weak resistance to strikes.

But if it is combined with other cross-border, it can effectively improve brand recognition and win more living space for itself in the era of "random flowers and increasingly fascinating people" Internet celebrities.

Wu Yifan, who can play a little trick in everything, has grasped the trick of "out of the circle" and chose to spare no effort to brush "familiar" in all walks of life. He is undoubtedly a shrewd artist; and in marketing, "doing things" car companies, through "cross-border" to improve their presence, are undoubtedly shrewd enterprises.
