Huang Jianzhong: Being a director in film for nearly 60 years requires "the spirit of Huangshansong".

  Nearly 80 years old, director Huang Jianzhong still looks hale and hearty. After nearly 60 years of filming, he still has no plans to retire. He has created something in his life and lived a full life. During the interview, he talked about the upcoming and planned new works Kublai Khan and Zhuangzi, both of which are great historical dramas. Kublai Khan alone has a script of 1.63 million words, which is equivalent to four novels.

  Huang Jianzhong is a name that can’t be avoided in the history of China movies. Together with Dongtian Zheng, Xie Fei, Wu Yigong, Yinnan Ding and Teng Wenji, he is classified as "the fourth generation director of China movies". Among his film works, the ones that are well known to fans include Little Flower, Ruyi, Good Woman, Chinese New Year, My 1919 and so on.

  In 2001, Huang Jianzhong retired from the Beijing Film Studio and turned to film and television dramas. From the legendary swordsman, The Woman at the Gunpoint of the Gestapo to Gou Jian, The King of Yue and The Empire of Daqin, all his works have a good reputation, and his name has almost become synonymous with quality dramas.

  There seems to be no word "serving the elderly" in Huang Jianzhong’s world. "Someone asked, Huang Dao, are you still filming at the scene? I said, where is my pleasure if I don’t shoot on the spot? " When filming Kublai Khan, Huang Jianzhong enjoyed it in the environment of MINUS 30 degrees Celsius. The younger generation is often moved by such professionalism, but in Huang Jianzhong’s view, professional dignity is like a self-evident duty, which is observed by peers.

  Huang Jianzhong’s dreams are surging like yesterday, and there are always new fields to attract him to explore.

  "I regard Beijing Film Factory as a university."

  Huang Jianzhong was 19 years old in 1960. After studying in the film school affiliated to the Beijing Film Factory for half a year, he entered the Beijing Film Factory and started from the scene. The peers in the crew are basically trained. Comparatively speaking, he graduated from high school and has no advantage. He described himself as a blank sheet of paper at that time, with the advantage of absorbing nutrients and digesting them more fully.

  Huang Jianzhong’s growth benefited from his love of reading and his emphasis on theory. The habit of reading originated from his childhood. His second brother Huang Houxing was a graduate student of the First Approval Department of Peking University after the founding of New China. Influenced by his second brother, Huang Jianzhong systematically studied the history of Chinese and foreign literature when he was young. "So my knowledge structure is better than that of young directors of the same generation."

  Huang Jianzhong said that he was just an ordinary seed, which was fortunate enough to be sown in the fertile soil of the North Film Factory. "I regard the North Film Factory as a university, and at that time, the director of the North Film Factory ‘ Four handsome men ’ Shuihua, Cui Wei, Ling Zifeng, Chengyin, and Xie Tieli are filming, and I am at the scene. " Huang Jianzhong said that his first teacher was these famous directors, and his school was the studio. "I often tell my wife that my greatest luck is that I have experienced the tempering of movie master."

  Art can be as shallow as it is deep, and Cui Wei is the movie master that keeps Huang Jianzhong down.

  Huang Jianzhong shared a short story behind the filming of the anti-Japanese film Private Zhang Ga in 1963. The film was decided to be directed by Cui Wei when it was prepared for shooting for half a year. After scanning the script for a few minutes, Cui Wei bluntly put forward several serious injuries. "In the novel, it is written to dig a tunnel, but Baiyangdian can’t dig a tunnel. If you dig a foot, you will see water. Shooting children’s films must also stand the test of life. "

  It was not until Huang Jianzhong retired that he really understood Cui Wei. "Read two words, ‘ Self-confidence ’ Where does the confidence of art come from? Knowledge and cultivation. "

  The film "Little Flower", which was born in 1979, is somewhat born. This iconic film, known as the birth of the new wave of China movies, is a war theme, but it adopts a very new film language at that time, such as the ingenious use of colorful forward narrative and black-and-white flashback pictures. What is more special is that it highlights the human feelings in the war, rather than simple heroism.

  Xie Fei, a contemporary director, also said with surprise that this work not only brought fire to the film industry, but also produced three stars.

  Huang Jianzhong, as an assistant director, once told Zheng Zhang, the director of Little Flower, that the original novel Hero of Tongbai was about war stories. However, since the founding of New China, a large number of excellent war films have emerged from "Fighting in the South and Fighting in the North" to "Red Sun" and "Shangganling", and the artistic peak is hard to surpass, so it is better to find another way.

  In preparation for filming, Huang Jianzhong has repeatedly associated with the French new wave films such as Love in Hiroshima and Long Separation, which are "completely different from all our previous film experiences". China’s films pay attention to the beginning and the end, with distinct layers. Huang Jianzhong changed the script of Little Flower according to the creative way of stream of consciousness instead of the traditional way.

  "At that time ‘ Young and crazy ’ I put all my past accumulation in Little Flower. " Looking back, Huang Jianzhong felt confident and fearless. He said that, unlike the works of the predecessors of the "third generation directors", which pay more attention to stories, he wanted to show the uniqueness of the art of film from "Little Flower".

  Creation is most afraid of "aristocratic spirit"

  This is an exploratory story. Ruyi, released in 1982, is Huang Jianzhong’s famous work, which has the inherent temperament in China’s traditional poetics — — Rich connotation beauty. The simplicity, calmness, joy and sadness of the characters are mixed, and the environment and the spiritual realm of the characters are integrated, which has strong artistic appeal.

  After that, a series of works, Huang Jianzhong always runs through the distinctive personality of seeking depth in thought and novelty in art, and The Good Woman and the Virgin all reflect his unique aesthetic and artistic pursuit of "exploration films".

  Huang Jianzhong has his own insistence: "Even if only one of the 100 viewers understands my film, I will shoot it for him."

  After gaining fame and status, we have to face the commercial tide of China film market. He was once in a state of confusion. According to his summary at that time, his past films may be considered very exquisite and intriguing by artists, but in the eyes of many audiences, they are elusive.

  Huang Jianzhong began to get to know himself again, and gradually realized that "there are ninety-nine other audiences to win".

  In 1990, when filming "Police Officer in the Year of the Dragon", he began to pursue both refined and popular tastes. In 1991, the Chinese New Year, which gathered actors from Zhao Lirong, Ge You, Li Baotian and six-year-old children, was made more interesting. Huang Jianzhong attributed "Chinese New Year" to "cultural entertainment film".

  People have gradually discovered that his works are no longer the existence of spring snow, but as simple and natural as "just like an ordinary song".

  After receiving his retirement certificate at the age of 60, Huang Jianzhong’s creation turned to TV series. He described making a movie as writing a short story, while TV series is like a novel, which has more room for display. In terms of movies, "everything that should be shot has been shot, and everything that should be tried has been tried".

  His concern for history and reality and his concern for human nature are consistent. If we sort out his images, especially his retired works, we can obviously feel a kind of solidity. No matter "Mother Instrument in the World", "Song of the Wind" or "Gou Jian, the King of Yue" and "Kublai Khan", they are mostly adapted from literary works with rich cultural atmosphere and rich connotations, and the stories are very national and legendary.

  Starting from directing "Empire of Daqin" in 2006, on the basis of previous written records, Huang Jianzhong added a seemingly relaxed but actually heavy weight to his work. After intense and hard shooting, he began to keep a "director’s diary" and later published it in a collection.

  "Artistic creation is most afraid of ‘ Aristocratic spirit ’ The nobility is divorced from life, but artistic creation should participate in life and find beauty in people’s common life. " Huang Jianzhong said.

  There is a saying that the best actor should always enter the inner state of the character. Huang Jianzhong also said that in making historical dramas, he must touch the souls of historical figures.

  This is what he realized when he filmed Gou Jian, the King of Yue. This time he filmed Kublai Khan. From the beginning of reading the script, he put Kublai Khan’s portrait in the hotel and took it with him when he went out. "I have been watching and thinking."

  Huang Jianzhong doesn’t necessarily use famous actors. One of the major features of Kublai Khan is that Mongolian actors account for the majority of the 217 characters in the play.

  "Han people play Mongols, more in ‘ Play ’ It’s hard to find a feeling. Mongolians living on horseback have different behaviors, voices and smiles from the Han people under the influence of farming civilization. "

  He always remembers a sentence said by his teacher Cui Wei: "Choose actors and temperament. If the temperament is right, you can succeed. "

  Shoot the taste between the lines

  In 2011, at the symposium on the 50th anniversary of Huang Jianzhong’s filming, Director Xie Fei said: "It is very rare for Huang Jianzhong to constantly absorb new things and keep moving forward."

  In Huang Jianzhong’s view, people’s vitality is reflected in their thirst for knowledge. "People have the highest thirst for knowledge in youth and middle age, but when they are old, they are still curious and curious about everything, which is the key to a young mind."

  Many people say that Huang Jianzhong is a real scholar-oriented director, and he exudes a strong bookish spirit.

  "I can basically remember reading." He said that it is not that he has a good memory, but that he has always had three habits: taking notes, sharing experiences with others, and "talking" with writers. "Reading until the end is a dialogue with the author. I often tell my students that filming is not a story, but a taste between the lines. So is reading, and reading is a taste. "

  Huang Jianzhong is immersed in the identity of a director, which brings him unparalleled satisfaction.

  Investors who asked him to film in these years often hesitated at first. "Will Huang Dao be older?" It was the same before Kublai Khan. However, the investor took the producer and others to Huang Jianzhong’s home for an hour and then made a decision to sign the contract.

  The script of Kublai Khan has 1.63 million words, the rough cut version is 104 episodes, and there are 76 episodes after streamlining. Younger editors will be amazed at Huang Jianzhong’s memory. "I said that this scene must be off camera, and then it was really. 516 scenes and 217 characters are all in my mind. "

  In his view, a very important factor that determines physical fitness is the breadth of mind. "We are filming. I won’t say that we want to shoot in an environment of MINUS 30 degrees Celsius. I will call the deputy director. I must shoot it myself."

  During his decades as a director, he was never late and had a strong sense of time. "I’m filming fast. I’ll tell them how to set the scene immediately when I get to the scene. No matter how big the wrist is, the actors must recite their lines and enter the scene. You can’t check the lines when you get to the scene. Even if we shoot ten pages of paper a day, our TV series still leaves work at 6 o’clock in the morning and closes at 6 o’clock in the afternoon. "

  "Little Flower" was filmed in Huangshan Mountain, which was forty years ago. In the film, Liu Xiaoqing plays the role of He Cuigu, but the most beautiful scene in the film belongs to her. On the steep cliff, Cuigu shouldered a stretcher and knelt down, climbing step by step, even though her knees were bleeding.

  In many interviews, Huang Jianzhong mentioned Huangshan Mountain. For example, he once said that he hoped to climb Huangshan again at the age of 80. In an exclusive interview with Nanfang Daily reporter, he said with emotion that being a director should not only strive for intelligence and physical strength, but also have a spirit of never giving up and never giving up.

  "Huangshan pine grows from a crack in the stone. It is attractive and tenacious. The same is true of being a man. " Huang Jianzhong said. (Nanfang Daily reporter in Beijing Liu Changxin, intern Lin Keyi)

Follow President Xi to see the world, talk to Volga on the Yangtze River, these stories have to be told. ……

  On the afternoon of March 20th, local time, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader arrived in Moscow and began a state visit to Russia. This is his ninth visit to Russia since he took office as president in March 2013.

  China and Russia are friendly neighbors linked by mountains and rivers, and the development of Sino-Russian relations has clear historical logic and strong endogenous power. Today, the all-round and multi-level cooperation pattern is bringing tangible benefits to the people of the two countries, and it also provides a steady stream of impetus for the development and revitalization of both sides.

  The Yangtze River, the mother river of China, and the Volga River, the mother river of Russia, have many similarities — — Broad-minded, tenacious temperament, all bear the glory and tragic, hope and pursuit of this nation. Nowadays, the magnificent waves of the two mother rivers have "blended" together and "irrigated" the political, economic, trade and cultural map.

  As the provinces with the longest runoff mileage in the Yangtze River, Hubei and Russia have many stories to tell … …

  Hubei people who went to Russia to grow tea

  In 1893, it was the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. A Russian businessman named Banov came to China and wanted to find someone to help them grow tea in Russia.

  At that time, tea was already a commodity between China and Russia, but tea planting in Russia began in the middle of Qing Dynasty, and there was not much experience. In addition, the climate in Russia was cold all the year round, so it was difficult for tea trees to survive.

Follow President Xi to see the world, talk to Volga on the Yangtze River, these stories have to be told. ......

  Bagong House in Jianghan District of Wuhan was once Banov’s residence.

  Banov finally found Liu Junzhou, a tea merchant in Hankou, who was extraordinary.

  Since the mid-19th century, Hankou has become a big port for tea gathering in the world, with 25,000 tea boats moored on the river and hundreds of tea merchants. One of the most famous tea merchants is Liu Junzhou’s Han family Liu’s Tea House. The annual trading volume of tea in Hankou Port accounts for 65% of the whole country, of which the Liu family accounts for 10%.

  Liu junzhou

  Liu Junzhou accepted the invitation of Banov, took nine technicians, tea seeds and tens of thousands of tea trees, followed Banov to grow tea in the Caucasus along the Russian Black Sea, and succeeded!

  In 1897, Liu Junzhou returned to China, and his son Liu Zerong was 5 years old. Liu Junzhou set out again with his wife and children and 12 technicians to continue his tea growing career in Russia. Liu Junzhou’s deeds have been widely spread, so that many Russians still call tea "Liu Tea".

  The tea trade between China and Russia has a long history. As early as the mid-19th century, Russians came to Wuhan to do tea business. In the Russian textbooks of the 1920s, there was a map of the bridge between Chinese and Russian tea bridges, which painted the "China-Russia Wanli Tea Ceremony" formed in the 17th century.

Follow President Xi to see the world, talk to Volga on the Yangtze River, these stories have to be told. ......

  Map of Sino-Russian Tea Road Bridge

  In this picture, Wanli Tea Ceremony is painted as a long bridge. The starting point of the bridge is Hankou, Wuhan, and the end points to Moscow, Russia. With this "bridge", from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century, there were dozens of Russian tea trading companies in Hankou.

  However, influenced by the war, in the first half of the 20th century, the Wanli Tea Ceremony between China and Russia gradually declined, and the Liu Tea House of the Han family went into silence. Until 2006, Liu Jiaguo, the 27th generation descendant of Liu’s Tea House of Han family, was determined to revive Liu’s Tea House of Han family, so he resigned from public office and went into business. According to Liu Taikun, the son of Liu Jiaguo, "My father and mother opened a small shop of less than 40 square meters, sold a lot of things and took out 2 million yuan. It’s really desperate!"

  In 2015, Han Liu’s tea once again advanced into Russia. The company has opened four exclusive stores in Russia and joined more than 50 distribution stores.

  Through the "Belt and Road Initiative", many famous Hubei teas such as Yangloudong Brick Tea in Chibi and the golden signboard "Yellow Crane Tower Tea" have also entered the homes of Russian people.

  Soviet Eagle over Wuhan during the Anti-Japanese War

  When it comes to air force aid to China, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? American Flying Tigers? Chennault?

  In fact, long before the Flying Tigers, there was such a team, which had fought fiercely in the air with the mighty Japanese Air Force in the sky in Wan Li, China. They were the Soviet Air Force Volunteers.

  soviet air force volunteer team

  In 1938, in the three Wuhan air battles of "2.18", "4.29" and "5.31", the Soviet Air Force Volunteers, together with the China Air Force, successively shot down more than 40 Japanese planes and sacrificed more than 100 people, completely smashing the Japanese invaders’ attempt to "master the air superiority".

  In order to commemorate this unforgettable history, in 1956, with the approval of Hubei provincial government, 15 tombs of Soviet Air Force martyrs were moved from Wanguo Cemetery in Chen Huaimin Road, Hankou to Jiefang Park. The overall design task of the martyrs’ tomb of the Soviet Volunteer Team falls on Huang Kangyu, a famous architect and chief engineer of Wuhan Architectural Design Institute. Zhang Lianggao, one of the founders of the Department of Architecture of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, is responsible for the specific construction design.

  Full of reverence and gratitude, Huang Kangyu and Zhang Lianggao devoted themselves to the design and construction of the martyrs’ tomb. Huang Kangyu originally hoped to design the memorial altar as a dome-shaped building with Soviet style, in which words and pictures were displayed to show the voice and face of the martyrs. However, after the completion of the tombstones and graveyards, the design and construction of the memorial altar had to be stopped due to the shortage of funds, and the dome design of the original drawings has not been completed.

  Tomb of the Soviet Air Force Martyrs, now located in emancipation park.

  Now let’s go to see the tomb of the martyrs of the Soviet Air Force Volunteers. The monument with a square cone points to the sky, indicating that they are martyrs in the sky. There is a big flower bed in front of the monument, in which a huge five-pointed star pattern is planted with red wood, surrounded by more than 60 evergreen trees such as cypress and cedar, guarding the heroes like private soldiers.

  Later, in the interview of reporter Chi Dajun and others, four more descendants of martyrs were found, and detailed file information of more than 200 martyrs was sorted out. In addition, 14 members of the Soviet Air Force Volunteer Team who died in Wuhan were also found. In 2015, the names of these 14 newly confirmed Soviet martyrs were added to the tombstone of the martyrs in Jiefang Park for future generations to mourn.

  Decades have passed, the smoke over Wuhan has already dispersed, and the tombstone has no words to refer to the sky. The story of the sword of justice and the eagle hitting the sky will be remembered forever!

  On this Russian tombstone, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge is engraved.

  The Soviet Union has assisted 156 industrial projects in New China, including 7 key projects in Wuhan, including the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, which is known as the "First Bridge of the Yangtze River".

  In the second year after the founding of New China, the plan to build the Yangtze River Bridge was put on the agenda. For thousands of years, the Yangtze River without a bridge has ushered in the vision of "a natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare".

Follow President Xi to see the world, talk to Volga on the Yangtze River, these stories have to be told. ......

  Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge 

  In the design and construction stage of the bridge, 28 members of the Soviet expert group provided a lot of guidance, and Xilin, the group leader, played a decisive role in the bridge construction.

Follow President Xi to see the world, talk to Volga on the Yangtze River, these stories have to be told. ......

  Xilin, an expert sent by the Soviet Union to help build the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge (first from right)

  Xilin, who came to China in 1948, had already repaired and erected one bridge after another in the north. However, it is not easy to realize the "natural moat becomes a thoroughfare" under the economic and technical conditions at that time, especially in the most critical bridge foundation construction. At that time, the common practice in the world was the pneumatic caisson method, which has been passed down for a hundred years. However, the Yangtze River was in a turbulent state and the construction depth reached the upper limit of air pressure, which not only delayed time but also endangered workers’ lives. The old method encountered new problems.

  Therefore, Xilin boldly proposed to replace the pneumatic caisson method with "pipe column drilling method" to change the bridge construction from underwater construction to water construction. This world-advanced construction method shortened the Yangtze River Bridge to two years and one month, completed two years ahead of schedule, and was successfully opened to traffic in 1957.

  During those hard years, Xilin devoted all his efforts to the bridge. After years of outdoor work, the harsh environment made him suffer from severe arthritis, and the hospitalization period happened to be the tense stage of bridge construction, so he resolutely moved back to the construction site.

  During the whole process of bridge construction, the builders in China were deeply admired by the professionalism of Soviet experts like Xilin. What impressed Liu Changyuan, a former deputy chief engineer of China Railway Bridge Bureau, was a Soviet expert, West Vacov. When piling pier No.7, some piles could not stand hammering and were easy to crack. In order to tackle the problem on the spot, West Vacov, who was in charge of this pier, went out early and returned late in a boat every day.

  Xilin and other Soviet experts have been to China many times since the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was opened to traffic. In May 1993, Xilin led a delegation to China to inspect the construction of cable-stayed bridges, and spent his 80th birthday in Wuhan. At that time, wuhan yangtze river bridge was under construction, and Xilin went to the construction site specially.

  On the monument of the bridge pier of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge, the achievements of experts from the former Soviet Union such as Xilin are cast in copper characters. Thousands of miles away in Canete Nicokov Cemetery, a black granite tombstone is engraved with Xilin’s proudest work — — Patterns of Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge.

  The Old Katyusha in Honggang City

  In Qingshan District, Wuhan, there once lived an old Russian woman who was the only Russian-born China citizen in Wuhan.

  Her Russian name is Ilina Yaclivna Chilkova, and China’s name is Shufan Li.

Follow President Xi to see the world, talk to Volga on the Yangtze River, these stories have to be told. ......

  Shufan Li was born in St Petersburg in 1926. At a campus dance, at the age of 23, she met Qiu Yongyan, an international student from China, and they fell in love. In 1950, Shufan Li followed Qiu Yongyan to China without hesitation.

  In 1953, Shufan Li came to Wuhan with all Russian translators in Central and South China, and worked as a full-time translator for Soviet experts who were preparing to build WISCO at that time. Since then, she has had an indissoluble bond with Jiangcheng, her second hometown.

Follow President Xi to see the world, talk to Volga on the Yangtze River, these stories have to be told. ......

  In 2017, Shufan Li was interviewed by the Voice of Hubei.

  In 2017, the Voice of Hubei reporter interviewed the elderly in Shufan Li. According to her recollection, "I still remember that the first investigation was not in the East Lake. After the experts came, they said that the water in the East Lake was not good. It was stagnant water, so it was polluted. Because the iron and steel industry must have flowing water, so to investigate in the Yangtze River, this will go to Qingshan and WISCO will land in Honggang City. " The steel mill settled in Wuhan, which was a suggestion made by Soviet experts after investigation. From the layout of factory and living quarters to the determination of main technology, WISCO basically copied the model of Novosibirsk industrial zone as a whole, representing the advanced level of the world at that time.

  Russian people can sing and dance, and Shufan Li is no exception. She likes singing and dancing, and after she retired, she organized a dance team with her sisters in the community. The favorite song is the familiar Soviet folk song Katyusha, and the neighbors affectionately call her "Katyusha".

  In 2021, Shufan Li died of illness at the age of 96. When she left, many neighbors around her shed tears. In Honggang City, everyone will always miss the old Katyusha.

  In Wuhan, there are still many Russian elements. Now the No.1 club in Dongting, Hankou used to be a Russian consulate. Red brick houses designed by Russia can be seen everywhere in Qingshan and Qiaokou.

  In April 2014, the China-Europe train that restarted its operation set off from Wuhan and exported "Made in Wuhan" to Russia, realizing the two-way trade between China and Russia.

  On July 30, 2014, China Southern Airlines opened a direct flight from Wuhan to Moscow.

  Nowadays, under the influence of the "Belt and Road" cooperation, Wuhan and Russia have increasingly close exchanges in economy, trade, science and technology and culture.

  In November 2022, Russian Ambassador to China Morcourt Lov said in an interview with Russian reporters that Russia would set up a consulate in Wuhan, but the specific opening time has not yet been determined. Morcourt Love said: In September 2015, witnessed by the leaders of the two countries, Russia and China signed an intergovernmental agreement to establish the Russian Consulate General in Wuhan and the Consulate General of China in Kazan. The Consulate General of China in Kazan will open in 2018. "This means that the Russian consulate in Wuhan will definitely open."

Cancellation or relaxation of car purchase restrictions in several cities is expected to bring hot car consumption.

  I want to buy a car, but I can’t shake the number and get the card — — In recent years, consumers in many cities have been troubled by this.

  Not long ago, Ning Ji Zhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the Bureau of Statistics, said that he would break the restrictions on automobile consumption and liberalize the purchase restriction. This statement has aroused widespread concern.

  The reporter found out that up to now, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Guiyang, Shenzhen and other cities across the country have implemented automobile purchase restriction policies. Since the beginning of this year, Guiyang, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have relaxed the automobile purchase restriction policy to varying degrees.

  Will the car purchase restriction for many years usher in full liberalization? Who will be the next city to lift the ban? Can the auto market take advantage of the recovery?

  Many cities canceled or relaxed the purchase restriction.

  In the past September, the auto market was a little deserted. The automobile market did not welcome the "Jin Jiu" as scheduled. According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (referred to as China Automobile Association), in September 2019, the production and sales of automobiles in China were 2.209 million and 2.271 million respectively, down 6.2% and 5.2% respectively, and the production and sales of automobiles in China have been declining for 15 consecutive months. In September, the inventory early warning index of automobile dealers was 58.6%, which was still above the warning line.

  Xiao Chen, a salesperson of a 4S store in beiyuan road, Chaoyang District, said: "Compared with previous years, the sales volume in September this year was indeed worse than before, and the passenger flow in the store was obviously worse than in previous years."

  Xu Haidong, Assistant Secretary-General of China Automobile Industry Association, said in an interview with this reporter: "Since the second half of last year, consumption in China’s automobile market has continued to decline. We expect that the overall automobile market in China will continue to maintain a low speed or even negative growth in the next 2-3 years. "

  In the case of continuous downturn, the liberalization of the automobile purchase restriction policy will undoubtedly be a powerful "shot in the arm" for the automobile market.

  On September 12th, Guiyang Public Security Traffic Management Bureau issued the Notice on Abolishing the Announcement on the Management of Passenger Car Number Plates in Guiyang, officially canceling the lottery car purchase. Guiyang became the first city in China to completely cancel the purchase restriction. For Zhang Xiaoman, a citizen of Guiyang, happiness comes suddenly. "In July, the winning rate of Guiyang passenger car license plate was still 8: 1. I was still worried that I didn’t know when I could shake the number. Now it’s good, I can get the card if I buy a car!"

  On September 29th, Guangzhou announced that it would allocate 10,000 incremental indicators of ordinary cars by lottery, including 1,000 unit indicators and 9,000 individual indicators. Previously, Guangzhou has made it clear that from June this year to December 2020, it will increase the number of passenger cars by 100,000. The 10,000 new indicators are additional indicators, so the total number of fuel vehicle indicators will reach 170,000 in 2019.

  In synchronization with Guangzhou, Shenzhen has also decided to increase the number of ordinary cars by 40,000 every year on the original basis.

  Many experts have analyzed that the liberalization of the purchase restriction policy in many places will not only stimulate the consumption in the local automobile market, but also be another good signal for the national automobile market to "loosen" the purchase restriction.

  It is expected to bring hot car consumption quickly.

  Why "lift the ban"? Let’s first look at why we should "ban".

  Xu Haidong introduced: "The role of purchase restriction is to solve congestion and the other is to solve the problem of emission pollution. Although it is impossible to completely solve the traffic congestion problem, the purchase restriction has delayed the rapid increase of vehicles to a certain extent, thus slowing down the increase of congestion and slowing down the intensification of urban pollution. " As a matter of fact, most cities in China that implement automobile purchase restrictions are densely populated and have tight road resources, and some of them are also facing greater environmental pressure. Taking Beijing as an example, the number of motor vehicles has exceeded 5 million, and "traffic jam" has become a major problem. In Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places, the number of motor vehicles is also above 3 million.

  Car purchase restriction measures have objectively played a role in alleviating traffic pressure and improving air pollution. However, when this measure was introduced in most cities, it was clear that it would not be implemented for a long time, but would be adjusted according to the actual situation. Since last year, the automobile market has been in a continuous downturn, and the call for relaxing the purchase restriction has gradually increased. Since January this year, various policies to relax the purchase restriction have been continuously overweight.

  In January, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Transport and other 10 departments jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Further Optimizing Supply, Promoting Steady Growth of Consumption and Promoting the Formation of a Strong Domestic Market (2019)", proposing "Optimizing the Management Measures of Motor Vehicle Purchase Restriction" to promote automobile consumption; In June, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment jointly issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Updating and Upgrading of Key Consumer Goods and Smooth Resource Recycling (2019-2020)", proposing that all localities should not restrict or purchase new energy vehicles; In August, the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Circulation to Promote Commercial Consumption, which clearly stated that the areas where the automobile purchase restriction is implemented should explore specific measures to gradually relax or cancel the purchase restriction in light of the actual situation, and where conditions permit, give active support to the purchase of new energy vehicles.

  Xu Haidong said: "Since the beginning of this year, the government has considered how to stimulate the recovery of automobile consumption and issued a series of related policies, all of which regard relaxing the purchase restriction on automobiles as an important part. The direct purpose of relaxing the purchase restriction on automobiles is to stimulate domestic demand and stimulate automobile consumption. "

  Zhou Liqun, director of the Automobile and Social Development Consulting and Research Center, analyzed: "China is a country with a large population and a relatively heavy domestic demand. It can play a more obvious role in promoting economic growth by canceling the automobile purchase restriction." Comparing the number of cars per thousand people, the data released by the World Bank show that there are 837 cars per thousand people in the United States, 591 cars per thousand people in Japan and 173 cars per thousand people in China. "As can be seen from the number of thousands of people, China’s automobile industry still has a lot of room for development. We are still optimistic about the overall development prospect of China’s automobile market, and it is estimated that the automobile sales in China will hover around 35 million vehicles. Of course, if the western regions and other regions develop rapidly, there may be a huge breakthrough. " Zhou Liqun said.

  The next "lifting the ban" city arouses imagination.

  Ning Ji Zhe revealed that with Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other cities relaxing or canceling the purchase restriction regulations, cities such as Xi ‘an and Kunming are also considering relaxing the purchase restriction, and some qualified regions will follow suit one after another.

  What conditions are expected to be "lifted"?

  Zhou Liqun analyzed that whether a city relaxes the purchase restriction should comprehensively consider the car ownership, land area, resident population and other factors in the city. Generally speaking, the development of automobile industry is closely related to five factors: urban infrastructure, traffic management, environmental protection policy, tax and fee policy and the needs of ordinary people.

  So, who is likely to be the next "lifted" city?

  Looking at the car ownership, there are 61 cities in China with over one million cars and 27 cities with over two million cars. Among them, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai, Suzhou, Zhengzhou, Shenzhen and Xi ‘an have more than 3 million vehicles, and Tianjin, Wuhan and Dongguan have nearly 3 million vehicles. Zhou Liqun’s analysis: "Hangzhou and Tianjin have less than 3 million cars, and their land area is relatively broad. At the same time, the cities themselves have great development prospects. Therefore, these cities have more room to relax the purchase restriction. "

  A number of interviewed experts said that the relaxation of automobile purchase restrictions is expected to have different rhythms and focuses in different cities. "Big cities like Beijing and Shanghai have greater traffic pressure and land tension, and many other factors need to be considered in the control of traffic conditions, such as holding large-scale events. Such a city is unlikely to fully liberalize the purchase restriction. However, relevant national policies also need to be implemented, so it may be on new energy vehicles ‘ Work hard ’ It not only conforms to the national policy, but also benefits the automobile development strategy. Although the development of new energy vehicles can not solve the traffic congestion problem, it can solve some pollution problems. Some cities may also take a step-by-step approach to respond to the requirements of relaxing purchase restrictions, and let go of some number plate demand like Guangzhou and Shenzhen. " Xu Haidong said. In terms of sales volume, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in 2018 was 1.256 million. Although there was an increase, the overall proportion was still small. Therefore, new energy vehicles are likely to usher in greater development.

  From another perspective, loosening the purchase restriction is not the only option to stimulate automobile consumption. Zhou Liqun said: "Cities like Beijing and Shanghai should make more efforts in scrapping and replacing automobiles. The development of the automobile industry in these cities started earlier, and the demand for automobile replacement is greater. Therefore, it is basically no problem to maintain the sales of 500,000 to 1 million new cars every year. "

  On the occasion of the alternation of "Jin Jiu" and "Silver Ten", the reporter visited a number of 4S stores in Beijing and found that although "Jin Jiu" was not welcomed as scheduled, most car salesmen still had hope to sprint "Silver Ten". Xiao Chen said: "The overall automobile market situation is not very good, but in the case that many automobile brands cut the price of new cars, consumers still have some backflow trends. I believe that under the constant encouragement of policies and the temptation of new car price reduction, the future market recovery is just around the corner. " (Xu Peiyu)

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

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

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

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

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

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

YOLO performed brilliantly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Spring Festival box office is expected to exceed brokerage expectations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tesla raised $2 billion, and Musk said the company’s market value will increase tenfold.

  On May 2, local time, Tesla announced that it would refinance US$ 2 billion, including the newly issued US$ 650 million common shares (about 2.7 million shares) and US$ 1.35 billion convertible bonds, to maintain the overall operation of the company.

  Financing is like "tearing off a band-aid"

  Tesla CEO Musk said at the investor conference that although Tesla currently has enough cash flow to support its business development, having more cash will help Tesla to buffer in order to cope with the unexpected macroeconomic situation and the potential demand headwinds in the automobile market.

  Musk was finally willing to "plan ahead" to face the reality, and also let investors worried about Tesla’s tight cash flow breathe a sigh of relief. Dan Ives, managing director of the asset research department of Wedbush Securities, a wall street brokerage, believes that Tesla’s financing decision is like "tearing off a band-aid". He said: "Tesla is finally willing to listen to investors. Before, the market was worried that Tesla might not have enough cash to support it through the second quarter. The data can tell everything."

  In this round of financing, Musk said that he would buy Tesla shares worth $10 million (about 41,896 shares). According to InsiderScore, Musk’s move to buy back shares implies that the market can buy Tesla shares in the short term. In the three months after Musk’s five purchases, Tesla’s share price rose by more than 40% on average.

  In addition, the new documents show that Musk personally owes more than $500 million in loans to investment banks. According to Tesla’s latest submission, Musk personally owed $213 million, $209 million and $85 million to Wall Street investment banks Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America, respectively, but this was $117 million less than that of the same period last year. Last year, Musk personally owed $624 million to investment banks.

  Musk holds about 20% of Tesla’s shares, with a total value of 8 billion to 12.6 billion US dollars. Tesla warned that if the stock price continues to fall and the bank forces Musk to sell some of its shares, it may in turn put new pressure on the stock price.

  It is worth noting that the primary participants in Tesla’s new financing plan, including Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, have all given Tesla shares a "sell" rating, which is relatively rare on Wall Street.

  The market value should reach 500 billion dollars.

  After Tesla announced a $2 billion financing plan, its share price rose by 4%. However, this year, Tesla’s share price has fallen by nearly 30%, with a market value of $42 billion. Musk also told investors recently that autonomous driving will make Tesla a company with a market value of more than 500 billion US dollars.

  This means that Tesla’s market value will be more than 10 times on the current basis. According to Musk, Tesla will become a "value-preserved" model. He expects that the value of each Tesla will be between 150,000 and 250,000 US dollars in three years, thanks to the upgrade of Tesla’s autopilot software. He also predicted that there will be 1 million autonomous Robotaxis on the road next year.

  However, Musk’s confidence has also been doubted by analysts. For example, Jeffrey Osborne, an analyst at Cowen, a Wall Street investment bank, wrote in a letter to investors: "We believe that the transformation of Tesla’s technology and execution strategy will face great risks. If Tesla wants to compete with NVIDIA in hardware, Google Waymo in software, and the shared taxi platform that is dominant in the current market in the operation of self-driving taxis, it is very difficult to achieve."

  Osborne also pointed out that Tesla did not fully plan how to operate self-driving taxis, because some basic questions have not been answered, such as pricing, insurance liability and legal supervision. Musk said after the earnings conference last month that Tesla is considering launching its own insurance financial products.

  Zach Kirkhron, Tesla’s newly appointed CFO, maintained his expectations for the company’s prospects at the investor conference, that is, 90,000 to 100,000 Tesla vehicles were delivered in the second quarter and 360,000 to 400,000 Tesla vehicles were delivered throughout the year.

Never die! 165,000 frames repaired, every frame is precious!

  Two days ago, Observer Jun attended a special movie premiere.

  It is special because this film is not a new film in the traditional sense.

  It is an old classic that has been reborn with the help of new technology — —

  The first black-and-white 4K restoration feature film "Never Gone Radio Wave" jointly produced by CCTV Video and China Film Archive.

Film premiere scene

  At the premiere ceremony, a promotional film with restoration effect was played on the big screen, and the black-and-white picture changed from blurred black and white to clear color.

  After watching it, Observer Jun suddenly understood why Tian Hua, a 93-year-old performance artist, was so excited at the opening ceremony of the Beijing International Film Festival:

  "Too fresh! It’s so vivid ‘ Color ’ Teacher Sun Daolin is so handsome! This kind of shock can only be completely felt on the big screen. "

  Knowing that the restored film will be released on October 6, I observed that Jun did one thing immediately after the premiere — — Find the small partners of the project repair team and "force" them to "confess". How did you repair the film so vividly?

  How did you do it? Did you really use magic? Don’t worry, and listen to the observation gentleman to tell you in detail!

  4K power:

  Repairing as old can rejuvenate you.

  "Never Gone Radio Wave" was filmed in 1958. At that time, film was the original carrier of movies. Sixty-three years have passed, and after years of precipitation, this film has also left traces of time — —

  Because of the age, there are many problems on the film, such as dust, dirt, mildew, fading, image jitter, scratches, flicker, noise, discoloration, blurring and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt digital film restoration and processing technology to deal with them, so as to obtain higher image quality.

Damaged film specimen

  The intention of restoration, on the one hand, is to "repair the old as the old". With the help of digital restoration technology, the lost image on the old film can be restored to the original "taste" of the film as much as possible.

  On the other hand, it is to make old films "rejuvenate" and be able to enter the cinema again. The resolution of the original film is 5460*4250, but with the erosion of time, the quality of the film base will react chemically. Under the existing technical conditions, the resolution of 4K is an ideal state for film restoration.

  Before 2017, the digital restoration of old movies in China mostly followed the 2K standard. The 4K resolution is based on the 2K resolution, which fully increases the picture information by 4 times.

  Therefore, before the repair, each frame of the picture must be magnified by the repairman four times before the damage can be seen clearly.

The repairman checks the film.

The repairman checks the film.

  For the more serious and complicated damage, it is even necessary to extract some materials, and after careful observation and analysis in the appraisal theater, further decide how to repair it and what software to use.

  For some special damaged pictures, the repairman must transfer the single frame of the picture to the later special effects software, and use the special effects function to realize 4K repair, restore the original flavor of the film, and restore the new life if it is old.

  Triple repair:

  What is the experience of clicking the mouse 20 thousand times a day?

  The restoration of classic movies is generally divided into three stages: physical restoration, digital restoration and artistic restoration. The first two can be classified as technical repair.

  The so-called physical restoration, the main task is to remove impurities from the picture, restore the visual texture of the picture at the beginning of production, and bring more comfortable and clearer visual experience to the audience.

  Friends can refer to the movie One Second, where the projectionist played by Fan Wei washes and repairs the film by hand.

  The original wrinkled film can be clearly shown again after proper scrubbing and drying. However, in the film, the copy volume was repaired, and this time, "Never Gone Radio Wave" repaired the original film background.

  Digital restoration is to digitize the film, which is the largest stage of the whole restoration process. As mentioned in the previous part, after the film is digitally scanned, 4K digital restoration technology is used to deal with various problems such as mildew, fading, image jitter, scratches, flicker, noise, discoloration and blur frame by frame.

Scanning film

Scanning film

  Each restorer clicks the mouse at least 20 thousand times a day. From this point of view, film restoration needs patience and professionalism.

  The repair time of a frame is as short as a few seconds, and as long as several hours or even days. The total duration of "Never Gone Radio Wave" is 116 minutes, and the whole film has 165,000 frames. With such a huge amount of work, people who can persist must have a heart that loves movies.

  Film restoration is a technical activity, which also needs creative aesthetics. When the physical restoration and digital restoration are over, the film restoration will reach a higher level — — Art restoration.

  That is, follow the principle of "repairing the old as before" and try to restore the film to the maximum extent.

  Specifically: the granularity of the film picture, the tone of the film with a sense of time, the color of clothes, the shadow of tables and chairs, the color of people’s skin, the depth of field of the lens and so on.

  Every place should be reproduced in combination with the original style of the old movie. The person who knows this film best is the creator of that year. To this end, the project restoration team invited the film’s creative staff to the scene as much as possible to guide, try to find the director and photographer at that time, follow their ideas, and determine the restoration standards.

  Black and white to color:

  In addition to AI, there is more ingenious "color archaeology"

  "Never Gone Radio Wave" was originally a black-and-white film. To achieve complete restoration, it is necessary to convert the black-and-white image into a color image through AI and artificial coloring technology after completing the triple restoration.

Comparison before and after repair

Comparison before and after repair

  This time, the restoration team combined the human-computer interactive AI coloring with independent intellectual property rights in China with traditional restoration techniques to restore and color the original black-and-white image of the film frame by frame.

  AI has greatly improved the overall work efficiency, but the soul of repair still needs artificial ingenuity. Because there are so many complex elements in focus plane, the current AI technology has limited ability to identify complex objects, and it is often impossible to track the details of moving side face and hand shape changes. At this time, it is necessary to manually solve them frame by frame.

Comparison between AI and artificial coloring effect

  In order to make the color of the film more accurate and appropriate, the project restoration team composed of Central Video and Film Archive also launched a large-scale "color archaeology".

  In the film, Bai Lijun, the liaison officer of the underground party, was waiting for the elevator in the Peace Hotel. The lens hurriedly swept a decoration, and the material could not be seen in the black and white environment. The repair team specially contacted Shanghai Peace Hotel and finally determined that it should be the color of blue and white porcelain.

  In order to determine the color of the cheongsam that appears many times in the film, the team specially visited the non-genetic inheritor of the traditional cheongsam in China, and judged the color through the material, lightness and technology, thus giving the cheongsam of the female role in the film a three-dimensional sense, gloss and texture again.

  In order to verify the cover color of the thread-bound book A Dream of Red Mansions, which was used by the leading actor Li Xia to transmit information, the team specially invited experts from the Dream of Red Mansions Society, and finally decided that the cover should be the light blue cover of the lead-printed book at that time.

  In order to color the lips of female characters in the film, the team studied in detail the brightness differences of reddish, vermilion and crimson in black and white pictures, comprehensively considered the role identity and character characteristics, and matched female characters in different camps and stages with bright or elegant colors.

  Rebuilding "hearing":

  5.1 surround sound, to achieve real sound immersive.

  When the picture is upgraded to 4K, the sound quality will naturally be repaired simultaneously to meet the current cinema screening standards.

  Generally speaking, movies divide sounds into five categories: dialogue, environmental atmosphere, special effects, onomatopoeia and music. The project repair team must first separate all kinds of sounds, then remove the noise, and then re-complete the mixing recording according to the sound phase of the picture.

Sound restoration process

  At the same time, according to the picture, the ambient sound is supplemented to enrich the indoor ambient sound, so that the hearing is more telepresence, and the sound is used to supplement the picture for the second time, adding some human voice environmental effects.

  In the end, the black-and-white to color 4K restoration version of "Never Gone Radio Wave" was converted from the original stereo to 5.1 surround sound.

  When watching in the cinema, we will feel a more realistic sound field, and we can appreciate the soul-stirring of the hidden front in the revolutionary era.

  As the first film in New China about the hero of the Party’s hidden front, The Never-Gone Radio Wave is almost the "model" of all the domestic spy films.

  Li Xia, played by Mr. Sun Daolin, has influenced generations of Chinese with his image of Communist party member, which is optimistic, resolute, fearless and courageous.

  Good movies and true heroes should not and cannot be buried by time and space.

Sun Daolin plays Li Xia.

Sun Daolin plays Li Xia.

  Although film restoration doesn’t need high-intensity and orderly cooperation like shooting on the set, it still needs a clear division of labor and seamless cooperation.

  The project restoration team dispatched hundreds of people before and after, and it took seven months to finally complete the restoration of 165,000 black-and-white images of Never Died Radio.

  Chunhua Qiushi, staying up late again and again, comparing frame by frame, and making a little adjustment, finally handed over this answer sheet with renewed vitality.

CIRC: Investment insurance companies need to use their own funds with legal sources.

  CCTV News:According to the website of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission, the China Insurance Regulatory Commission recently revised and issued the Measures for the Administration of Equity of Insurance Companies. The person in charge of the relevant departments of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission pointed out that the "Measures" further improve the entry threshold and ensure that "the insurance industry is guaranteed" based on the principle of "letting people who really want to do insurance enter the insurance industry". The "Measures" clearly require investment insurance companies to use "self-owned funds with legitimate sources" to strengthen the examination of the authenticity of the shares.

  How does the Measures further tighten shareholder access? The person in charge said that the "Measures" are based on the principle of "letting people who really want to do insurance enter the insurance industry", further improving the entry threshold, standardizing the investment and shareholding behavior, preventing improper interest transfer and various risks, and ensuring "the insurance industry’s surname is guaranteed".

  First, strict access conditions, in terms of financial status, investment capacity and other aspects have put forward more stringent requirements.

  The second is to set up a negative list of market access, which clearly stipulates that investors with unclear ownership structure or disputes, records of holding shares, providing false information or false statements, and bearing heavy responsibility for insurance companies’ business failures and major violations are not allowed to invest in shares.

  Third, it is forbidden for investors who have cash flow fluctuations that are greatly affected by the economic boom, have a record of bad investment behavior in the open market, and have had bad influence from dishonest business practices to become controlling shareholders of insurance companies.

  The fourth is to increase the consideration of shareholders’ capacity building in the industry.

  How does the Measures strengthen the supervision of ownership structure? The person in charge said that in line with the principle of prudent supervision, the Measures reduced the upper limit of the shareholding ratio of a single shareholder from 51% to 1/3. At the same time, according to the principle of classified supervision, according to the shareholding ratio of shareholders and their influence on the operation and management of insurance companies, the shareholders of insurance companies are divided into control category (the shareholding ratio is more than 1/3, or their voting rights have a controlling influence on the resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting), strategic category (the shareholding ratio is more than 15% but less than 1/3, or their voting rights have a significant influence on the resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting), financial category II (the shareholding ratio is more than 5% but less than 15%), and financial category II. Different categories, different qualification requirements, different review priorities and different regulatory measures are imposed.

  After the formal implementation of the new measures, in principle, the ownership structure of existing insurance companies will not be retroactively adjusted, but some insurance companies with potential risks in the ownership structure will be given window guidance and targeted regulatory measures will be taken. For the new behavior of investment insurance companies, the new regulatory requirements shall be strictly followed.

  How does the Measures strengthen the supervision of capital authenticity? The person in charge said that the "Measures" clearly require investment insurance companies to use "their own funds with legitimate sources" to strengthen the examination of the authenticity of the shares.

  First, it is clear that self-owned funds should be limited to net assets.

  Second, in the form of a negative list, the types of funds that cannot be used to invest in insurance companies are clearly defined, including the prohibition of using insurance companies’ relevant loans, funds secured by insurance companies’ deposits or other assets, funds obtained by improper use of insurance companies’ financial influence or improper relationship with insurance companies to invest in insurance companies’ equity, etc.

  Third, it is clear that the regulatory authorities can trace the source of their own funds upward according to the principle of penetrating supervision and substance over form. For those who use non-owned funds to invest in shares, measures are stipulated, including ordering the transfer of shares, revoking administrative licenses, and restricting investment in the insurance industry.

Exclusive planning | Why does Miyazaki Hayao always go to China audience in both directions?


Special feature of 1905 film network Recently, the China premiere of animated films was held in Shanghai.


Miyazaki Hayao’s friend and working partner for many years — — Studio Ghibli, chairman and producer, came to China for publicity. This is the only country that promotes the film on a global scale. Not only that, Miyazaki Hayao and toshio suzuki specially recorded a greeting video for the audience in China.



This is the first time that 83-year-old Miyazaki Hayao has come forward to promote the release of this film, and it is also the second time that toshio suzuki has come to China after 40 years.


You know, when the animated film "What kind of life do you want to live" was released in Japan, it adopted a zero-publicity model — — Before the screening, except for the first poster, there were no publicity materials such as stills and trailers. Miyazaki Hayao was worried about it, but toshio suzuki said that now is the era of information explosion, and zero publicity may become an attractive way.



At present, "What Life Do You Want to Live" has exceeded 9.1 billion yen at the box office in Japan, and it has been released in North America, becoming the first Japanese original cartoon to top the box office list in North America. In terms of awards, it has swept away many awards, including Oscar Award for Best Animated Feature Film, Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, British Film Academy Award for Best Animated Film, and Japan Film Academy Award for Best Animated Film.



This animated film has also become the film with the shortest "time difference" for Miyazaki Hayao’s works to be released in China, which shows that all this is a two-way choice for Miyazaki Hayao, Studio Ghibli and China.


Why did Miyazaki Hayao and Studio Ghibli leave these "unique" to the audience in China?


Preference for China’s traditional aesthetics


It will be mentioned on many websites that Miyazaki Hayao embarked on the road of animation because of a China animation. In fact, it is not, but it is closely related to China.


As a teenager, Miyazaki Hayao watched an animated film in the cinema, which was the first full-length color animated film in Japan, based on Chinese folklore. Later, in an interview, Miyazaki Hayao mentioned that he was only interested in painting at that time, because this animation was determined to embark on the road of animation.



Miyazaki Hayao is almost obsessed with this animation, and some Japanese media reported that he even "fell in love" with the White Snake. But what is certain is that Miyazaki Hayao likes the voice of Xu Xian very much. After many years, he invited him to voice his works.



In fact, before the production of Legend of the White Snake, Japan had no experience in making long-form animation, so the creation of this project inspired its staff to study the production system of long-form animation from scratch.


It finally took two years, and the film was released in Japan on October 22nd, 1958. This film is of special significance to Japanese animation. Even the centenary birthday of Japanese animation in 2017, October 22nd was recognized as "the day of animation".



In addition to being firm in animation, Miyazaki Hayao is determined to enter Dongying Company, the production company of the animated film Legend of the White Snake.


Because of the imperfection of Japanese animation industry system at that time, many Japanese animators were greatly influenced by China’s traditional animation. Miyazaki Hayao, who is partial to China culture, minored in Chinese during his college years.



Miyazaki Hayao, who just stepped into the society, was lucky. After graduation, she entered the coveted Dongying Company and met another good friend in her career — — It also belongs to the Japanese animation master. Both of them like China traditional animation very much, especially these early animation works created by Shanghai Animation Film Studio.



At that time, Dongying Company did not focus on animated films, but made well-known animation IP such as Astro Boy into animated series by the appeal of "God of Animation".


On the contrary, this mode has given Gao Tianxun and Miyazaki Hayao a lot of creative space. In The Adventure of Sun Prince Holes directed by Gao Tianxun, Miyazaki Hayao, who has just entered the East for two years, pioneered the post of "scene design", and even played a role in fighting wolves in Holes, playing a super animation talent.



In 1972, China and Japan established diplomatic relations, and the first pandas "Kangkang" and "Lan Lan" in Japan arrived in Tokyo. In order to welcome these two cute little people, Dongying Company launched an animated work "Panda Family". This animation was written by Gao Tianxun, while Miyazaki Hayao did four jobs: original case, script, scene design and original painting.



Although there is no author expression of Miyazaki Hayao’s later period in this animation, we can clearly see the shadow of later period from the design of characters and roles. Therefore, many people think that "my neighbor totoro" has the gene of China panda.


Reflection on war


Anti-war has always been an eternal theme in Miyazaki Hayao’s films.In reality, he condemned Japan’s war of aggression against China more than once and publicly stated that Japan should apologize to China. "I think (Japan) must.cleanChudiSay that the war of aggression is over.All wrong, (recognition) has brought great suffering to the people of China. "



Miyazaki Hayao, who was born in World War II, has experienced the pain brought by the war since he was a child. His family runs a factory that produces aircraft components. It seems that life is guaranteed, but the family is still displaced because of the war.


Miyazaki Hayao once published an article in the magazine Hot Wind in Studio Ghibli, telling the story of film creation, including the content of World War II. He wrote, "I had a strong feeling in my childhood that we fought a very stupid war."



The movie "The Wind is Blowing" is a movie that took place during World War II, telling the life of Jiro Horue. This character is a teenager who loves airplanes, but under the background of war, he can only design fighters. Therefore, there is a line in the movie, "The plane is not a tool for businessmen to make money, nor is it a weapon for war. The plane is just a work for inventors to realize their ideals."


In this contradictory era, the war is ruthless, especially at the end of the film, Miyazaki Hayao once again said through the role, "The plane is a cursed dream, waiting to be swallowed up by the sky."



In addition to this film, in Miyazaki Hayao’s early films, he also expressed his resistance to the war more or less.


A restored animated film just released in China last year — — This work, which is considered by the outside world to be the most like his autobiography, talks about the resistance to fascism, and even says by the man, "If I want to become a fascist, I would rather be a pig."



In the movie Princess Ghost, an abandoned iron mine was used as a military facility in the war, and nature was polluted and destroyed. Also in the context of World War II, it conveys that only through peaceful means can people understand each other and live together.



With the growth of age, Miyazaki Hayao has had a deeper insight into this theme. In the new film "What Life Do You Want to Live", he will continue to think about war and peace and inject more interpretations into life.



Or it is Miyazaki Hayao’s sincerity, as well as his gentle brushwork and attitude expression, that can make each of his works have such a long vitality and make everyone who loves him and his audience get feedback.


How can such a lovely and sincere grandfather not be favored by the audience in China?

Changan Ford Sharp L sells seven models from 229,800 yuan, which one is more cost-effective?

During the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, Changan Ford officially announced the price of its Sharp L market, with the price range of 229,800 to 309,800 yuan. For Sharp L, it has launched seven models this time, including three fuel models and four hybrid models. The price range of the fuel version is 229,800 to 279,800 yuan, and the price range of the hybrid version is 249,800 to 309,800 yuan.

Since the seven models in the whole department are divided into fuel version and hybrid version, let’s look at them separately and see which one is the most worth buying.

How to choose the fuel version?

The 2.0T EcoBoost two-wheel drive five-seat fashion model with a price of 229,800 yuan is the entry-level model of Sharp L Fuel Edition and the entry-level model of the whole department.It is equipped with front double airbags, front side airbags, side air curtains, tire pressure display, ABS, EBD, EBA, ASR, ESP, lane departure warning system, lane keeping auxiliary system, lane centering, road traffic signs, active safety system, fatigue driving tips, front collision warning, reversing radar, reversing image, full-speed adaptive cruise, driving mode switching, engine start and stop, and automatic.

It can be said that this configuration performance is still very good for a model with a price in the early 200,000 yuan.

Compared with the 2.0T EcoBoost two-wheel drive five-seat fashion model, the 2.0T EcoBoost two-wheel drive seven-seat luxury model, which is 20,000 yuan more expensive, is equipped with front parking radar, electric trunk, position memory of electric trunk, leather-like seat, lumbar support of co-pilot seat, electric adjustment of co-pilot seat, front seat heating, third row seat, 27-inch central touch LCD screen display. If the budget is available, it is actually more cost-effective to spend an extra 20,000 yuan for these configurations.

For the fuel version, the 2.0T EcoBoost four-wheel drive seven-seat extreme model is its top model. Compared with the 2.0T EcoBoost two-drive seven-seat luxury model, it has more parallel assistance, rear collision warning, 360-degree panoramic image, reversing side warning, automatic parking, induction trunk, Bluetooth key, wireless charging of front and rear row mobile phones, ventilation of front seats, adjustable buttons in the back row of the co-pilot’s seat, leg rest adjustment of the second row seat, electric adjustment of the second row seat, ventilation of the second row seat, and second row seat heating. Although the configuration of this 30,000 yuan is enough and luxurious enough, after all, the price of 279,800 yuan is not low.

Therefore, for the fuel version, we recommend to buy a 2.0T EcoBoost two-wheel drive seven-seat luxury model with a price of 249,800 yuan.

How to choose a hybrid model?

For the hybrid version, its entry-level model is 2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid two-wheel drive seven-seat fashion model, and its price is 249,800 yuan.Equipped with front double airbags, front side airbags, side air curtain, tire pressure display, ABS, EBD, EBA, ASR, ESP, reversing radar, reversing image, driving mode switching, automatic parking, electronic parking, uphill assistance, openable panoramic sunroof, roof rack, remote control key, keyless start+entry, hidden electric door handle, active closed air intake grille, remote start, etc. 12.3-inch color LCD instrument panel, active noise reduction, leather/fabric mixed seat, height adjustment of front seat, lumbar support of main driver’s seat, front and rear/backrest adjustment of second row seat, proportional reclining of rear seat, front central armrest, rear central armrest, rear cup holder, 13.2-inch central touch LCD screen, satellite navigation system, navigation road information display, road rescue call, Bluetooth phone, voice recognition control system, car networking, etc. OTA upgrade, Wi-Fi hotspot, V2X communication, USB/Type-C interface, luggage compartment 12V power interface, 8 speakers, mobile APP remote control, LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment, 7-color interior atmosphere lights, four-door electric windows, one-button lifting of four-door windows, electric adjustment of exterior mirrors, electric folding of exterior mirrors, mirror heating, rear wiper, induction. For a hybrid model with a price close to 250,000 yuan,Its configuration performance is basically sufficient, but it is indeed slightly lower in driver assistance configuration.

Compared with the 2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid two-drive seven-seat fashion model, The 2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid two-wheel drive seven-seat luxury model, which is 20,000 yuan more expensive, has added lane departure warning system, lane keeping auxiliary system, lane keeping in the middle, road traffic sign recognition, active safety system, fatigue driving tips, front collision warning, front parking radar, full-speed adaptive cruise, L2-class auxiliary driving, electric trunk position memory, leather-like seat, front passenger seat waist support, The electric adjustment of the co-pilot seat, the heating of the front seat, the 27-inch central touch LCD screen, the split-screen display of the central control LCD screen, and the adaptive far and near light are still very cost-effective.

2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid four-wheel drive seven-seat extreme model is 30,000 yuan more expensive than 2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid two-wheel drive seven-seat luxury model. Equipped with four-wheel drive system, parallel assistance, rear collision warning, 360-degree panoramic image, reversing side warning, automatic parking, induction trunk, Bluetooth key, wireless charging of front and rear mobile phones, front seat ventilation, rear adjustable button of co-pilot’s seat, second leg rest adjustment, second seat electric adjustment, second seat heating, second seat ventilation, second independent seat and B&O stereo. Although the configuration has indeed increased a lot, and it is still practical, the price is not low.

As the highest-priced 2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid four-wheel drive seven-seat ST Line in the whole department, its price is 10,000 yuan more expensive than that of the 2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid four-wheel drive seven-seat extreme model. This 10,000 yuan is exchanged for sports appearance kit, steering wheel heating, HUD head-up display, leather/suede mixed seats, driver’s seat memory, car air purifier and 255/50 R21 tires, but at the same time it also reduces the ventilation of the front seat and the second row seat.

Therefore, for the hybrid model, we recommend to buy the 2.0T EcoBoost E- hybrid two-wheel drive seven-seat luxury model.

To sum up, that is to say, whether you buy a fuel version or a hybrid version, the most cost-effective of these seven models is the two-wheel drive and seven-seat luxury model.

For the brand-new Sharp L, in terms of appearance, its front face is replaced with a lattice air intake grille, and it is integrated with the light groups on both sides through a long and narrow light strip, plus a large number of black elements, which is rich in visual impact. C-shaped vents are adopted at the lower sides, which are more sporty against the black decorative board.

The side lines of the car body are smooth, and the C-pillar part adopts special modeling treatment to further increase the sense of fashion. In addition, the new car will also provide a hidden door handle, and we also see the L character at the end of the rear door, which also shows that the new car adopts an extended wheelbase. Similar through taillights are used at the rear of the car, and a matrix light group is also used. The English name of the model has also been retained, but after flattening, a lot of advanced texture has been added.

In terms of interior design, it adopts the same design style as Ford EVOS, a new generation of Mondeo, a new generation of Focus and other models, and the oversized screen is the biggest feature in its car. In addition, the all-new Sharp L is also divided into two models: the normal version and the ST-Line. The normal version uses beige and black interiors, while the ST-Line models have all-black interiors, with red decorations and the "ST-Line" red logo at the back of the chair.

For the all-new Sharp L, it adopts a 7-seat layout of 2-2-3, and the second row of seats adopts double zero gravity suspended first-class seats, which supports one-button service, and is equipped with independent leg rest, seat heating/ventilation, wireless charging, backrest angle adjustment and other functions, which can be said to make the second row of passengers enjoy the greatest degree of comfort.

In terms of power, it can be said to be the biggest change in the new sharp world L. It is equipped with Ford’s latest 5th generation 2.0T EcoBoost? twin-turbo direct injection engine with rated power of 202kW and maximum torque of 405nm. Its power split technology allows the vehicle control system VCU to accurately calculate the optimal efficiency of the engine and motor, automatically match the optimal power output mode, and make the whole power system always run in the optimal comprehensive efficiency range, thus achieving the balance between power and fuel consumption.

As for the battery of the hybrid system, the brand-new Sharp L adopts the brand-new low-nickel NCM111 ternary lithium battery, and its battery pack is smaller and lighter, and it has passed the rigorous tests of overcharge, acupuncture, seawater immersion, salt spray, drop, high and low temperature impact, cycle life and many other super-national standards. Obviously, for this power system, it is undoubtedly specially introduced by Ford for the new sharp world L.
