  The COVID-19 epidemic has had a great impact on consumption in China in the first quarter of this year. The data shows that from January to February, the total retail sales of consumer goods nationwide decreased by 20.5% year-on-year. However, in the "home" life and "cloud" life, the sales of some consumer electronic products have increased against the trend, which has become a bright color when consumption is cold in the short term. Green consumer products represented by electronic products are helping to boost consumption and consumption upgrading.

  Electronic products sell well against the trend

  "Kindle reader, Bluetooth speaker … …” Zach Li, an engineer working in Beijing, found that he spent the most on electronic products besides daily necessities such as rice, oil and salt.

  "Reading, games and music are all long-term learning and entertainment activities for epidemic prevention at home, and these electronic products make it long and boring ‘ Zhai ’ Life adds interest. " Zach Li said.

  When consumption was cold due to the epidemic, "cloud life" drove the sales of some consumer electronic products to increase greatly, and the supply of emerging products continued to increase, allowing many new formats to develop against the trend.

  Statistics from the National Bureau of Statistics show that from January to February this year, the demand for electronic products such as 3D printing equipment, smart watches and smart bracelets increased rapidly, and the output increased significantly year-on-year, with growth rates of 101.0%, 119.7% and 45.1% respectively. The growth momentum of emerging kinetic energy has not changed.

  On several major e-commerce platforms, the sales of electronic products have also increased. In February, notebook computers, tablet computers, printers and smart cameras became hot items on e-commerce platforms such as Suning.cn and JD.COM, and some products were even out of stock. Perhaps it is precisely because of the new consumer demand generated by the epidemic that many consumer electronics companies choose to release their new products in the near future. Among them, Apple recently launched a new tablet iPad Pro and computer Macbook Air, which received wide attention.

  Smartphones hit bottom and rebounded.

  The situation of epidemic prevention and control in China continues to improve, and the consumer market is recovering with the warm spring. At the same time, related enterprises have also actively launched "self-help".

  In the field of smart phones, the rebound and recovery of consumption are more obvious. Previously, affected by the epidemic, many mobile phone manufacturers closed their factories, and normal mobile phone production could not be guaranteed. Under the background of the whole society’s resumption of work and production, the mobile phone industry is increasing its productivity, and the output is gradually approaching the normal level. Recently, many mobile phone manufacturers, such as Huawei, have said that they are fully restoring the supply chain to ensure market supply.

  A person in charge of a mobile phone manufacturer said that from the sales performance at the beginning of March, the sales volume of smart phones in China has approached or even exceeded the same period last year. Industry insiders predict that the domestic 5G smartphone market is expected to resume its growth momentum in the second quarter of this year.

  While increasing horsepower to ensure production, the release of new machines by major manufacturers has also been carried out one after another. Since late February, the listing speed of new 5G mobile phones has obviously accelerated. According to the data of China Information and Communication Research Institute, there were 16 new models listed in February this year, including 11 5G mobile phones. Recently, Huawei held an online conference to release three P40 series mobile phones to the world — — P40, P40 Pro and P40 Pro+. It is worth mentioning that this model is equipped with the HMS Apps terminal cloud service ecosystem independently developed by Huawei.

  Experts said that in the fields covered by "new infrastructure", 5G is considered to be the top priority, and the industrial chain extended by 5G will also be rapidly driven. Thanks to the acceleration of "new infrastructure", the construction of 5G infrastructure and the improvement of 5G communication environment will further stimulate the recovery of the industry and promote the arrival of the "replacement tide" of 5G mobile phones.

  Create a new consumption format

  In order to better release the new consumption potential, in recent days, the central and local governments have successively introduced a series of measures to promote consumption to promote consumption in electronic products and other fields.

  A few days ago, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 23 departments jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting Consumption Expansion and Upgrading to Accelerate the Formation of a Strong Domestic Market", increased support for electronic products and other fields, and proposed to encourage green smart consumption, accelerate the improvement of recycling networks in the fields of home appliances and consumer electronic products, and encourage enterprises to use technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence to promote the intelligent upgrading of various electronic products.

  At the same time, many governments have accelerated the introduction of preferential measures to encourage green and smart consumption and promote product upgrading through measures such as issuing consumer subsidies and replacing old electronic products with new ones. Many e-commerce platforms have also launched promotional activities such as home appliances and electronic products.

  Experts said that in this COVID-19 epidemic, new consumption formats and new consumption models represented by electronic products showed strong growth potential. With the progress of science and technology and the acceleration of the updating of consumption concepts, the upgrading and intelligent upgrading of electronic consumer goods and other products will enter a fast-paced stage. How to cultivate and grow the new consumption and upgrading consumption power generated by the epidemic, and how to realize the long-term development of short-term products is a new test faced by the government and enterprises, which is of great significance for stimulating the formation of new kinetic energy and promoting steady economic growth.

General Administration of Market Supervision: Ten Characteristics of Consumer Complaints in 2022

  Cctv newsAccording to the website of the General Administration of Market Supervision, in 2022, the national market supervision departments received a total of 29.4077 million consumer complaints, reports and inquiries through the national 12315 platform, telephone, fax and windows, a year-on-year increase of 23.5%. Among them, there were 13,103,800 complaints and 4,722,300 reports, which saved economic losses of 4,519 million yuan for consumers and effectively protected their legitimate rights and interests. It mainly presents ten characteristics:

  First, the acceleration of consumer complaints, the recovery and expansion of consumption needs balanced development.

  From the trend of the past three years, due to the cross-regional expansion of platform economy, the cross-regional flow of population capital and the cross-regional allocation of market factors, the consumption of Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Beijing is accelerating. There is a positive correlation between the number of consumer complaints and the level of consumer activity. The proportion of consumer complaints in the four provinces and cities in the country has increased from 31.8% in 2020 to 45.16% in 2022. To some extent, the accelerated gathering of consumer complaints reflects the unbalanced development of the supply side of consumption, so it is necessary to further restore and expand consumption in the central and western regions and promote higher quality and more balanced development.

  Second, recover the loss of over 10 billion yuan, boost confidence and release vitality.

  In the past three years, in the face of the impact of the epidemic, the downward pressure on the economy and the impact of the international situation, improving the consumption environment, stabilizing consumption and promoting consumption have become important supports for stabilizing the economic market and safeguarding people’s livelihood and well-being. Market supervision departments at all levels have handled a total of 74.5229 million complaints, reports and consultations, recovering economic losses of 14.472 billion yuan for consumers, effectively defending consumers’ legitimate rights and interests, and protecting consumption power and economic endogenous motivation. We will strengthen the maintenance of commodity services concerned by the masses. For example, the mediation success rate of fiber products, medical devices, production, maintenance and repair services has increased significantly compared with the previous year, with an increase of 15.51, 13.15 and 12.26 percentage points respectively.

  Through the continuous evaluation of "five-level circular linkage", the disposal efficiency of the national 12315 platform has been greatly improved. The timely handling rate of complaints and reports was as high as 98.99%, an increase of 12.55 percentage points; The highest satisfaction of the masses is 4.74 points (out of 5 points). At present, the platform has accumulated 16.0108 million registered users, with an average annual growth of 3 million, and has become a consumer rights protection platform trusted by the people.

  Three, rapid response, strong disposal, complaints and reports of epidemic-related materials fell rapidly.

  After the promulgation of "Article 20" and "New Article 10", the focus of epidemic prevention shifted from prevention and control of infection to medical treatment. The demand for epidemic-related drugs and medical supplies surged, the supply was not smooth, the price fluctuated abnormally, and product quality problems frequently occurred. At one time, the number of related complaints and reports increased by spurt. From November 10, 2022 to the end of 2022, the national 12315 platform received 241,100 related complaints and reports, up 3.88 times year-on-year, 2.95 times quarter-on-quarter, and the highest peak reached 19.5 times. Among them, there were 141,800 complaints and 99,300 reports, recovering economic losses of 4,981,700 yuan.

  The market supervision department responded quickly, launched a special campaign to stabilize the price and guarantee the quality of epidemic-related drugs and medical supplies at the first time, promptly checked the complaints and reports of epidemic-related drugs and medical supplies, and fully protected the health and safety of the people, with a total of 12,900 cases filed. As of February 10th, the reports on epidemic-related prices, unfair competition and advertisements, online transaction supervision, product quality, and the production and circulation of drugs and medical devices have dropped by 99.14%, 87.87%, 73.89%, 88.35% and 87.79% on an average daily basis, and the demands for epidemic-related drugs and medical supplies have returned to daily life, and the market order tends to be stable.

  Fourth, the downward pressure on the economy has increased, and after-sales problems such as non-delivery and non-refund have become more prominent.

  In 2022, the national market supervision department accepted 13.1038 million consumer complaints, a year-on-year increase of 43.84%, and the growth rate was enlarged compared with 2021. From the complaints, there were 2,987,000 pieces of quality, 2,489,600 pieces of after-sales service, 1,159,100 pieces of contract and 1,090,600 pieces of food safety, accounting for 58.96% of the total complaints. Among them, the problem of after-sales service grew fastest, and the masses reflected it most strongly, with a year-on-year increase of 57.67%.

  After-sales service status is directly related to operators’ confidence and expectation. Affected by the epidemic, the problem of after-sales service has been highlighted. Consumer demands mainly focus on non-refund, non-delivery, non-performance of the "three guarantees" commitment, non-implementation of the seven-day unreasonable return obligation, and untimely delivery. From the perspective of commodity categories, it is mainly concentrated in mobile phones, shoes, coats, furniture and automobiles, accounting for 25.61% in total; Printed matter, dairy products, computer peripherals, air conditioners and luggage increased by 154%, 120%, 98%, 98% and 90% respectively.

  Fifth, the proportion of commodity complaints increased, and the consumption of new energy vehicles was short-lived.

  In 2022, the national market supervision department accepted a total of 8,623,200 commodity complaints, accounting for 65.81% of the complaints, up 4.37 percentage points from the previous year; There were 4,480,600 service complaints, accounting for 34.19% of the complaints. The increase in the proportion of commodity complaints reflects the prominent product quality problems under the downward pressure of the real economy. Among them, the top complaints are: ordinary food, clothing, shoes and hats, household items, household appliances, transportation and communication products, accounting for 58.43%. The top service complaints are: catering, accommodation, sales, Internet services, culture, entertainment and sports, beauty salons and baths, accounting for 46.37%.

  It is worth noting that with the rapid increase in the penetration rate of new energy vehicles, consumers’ requirements for quality are also constantly improving. In 2022, the platform received 16,000 complaints and reports about new energy vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 62.84%. Among them, contract problems, quality problems and false propaganda problems grew rapidly, increasing by 126.33%, 77.35% and 75.65% respectively. Consumer demands focus on: imperfect after-sales service, failure to fulfill the "three guarantees" commitment; Sudden flameout, oil leakage, abnormal engine sound, brake steering failure and battery module damage during driving; Publish false information, induce consumers to sign unfair format clauses, and reduce the responsibility of car companies.

  Six, new consumption hotspots are constantly emerging, and the accompanying consumer disputes are rising.

  In recent years, "new consumption" is becoming the "accelerator" of economic development. While meeting the diversified needs of consumption, some new situations of infringement and new problems of rights protection are gradually exposed, reflecting the new pain points of consumer rights protection.

  In 2022, new model problems such as digital collection (NFT) rose, making supervision more difficult, with 59,700 related demands (only 198 in the previous year), mainly focusing on non-delivery, non-refund, malicious price gouging, high handling fees, and arbitrary closure of consumer accounts. Under the craze of "blind box", consumer demands reached 41,400 pieces, up 61.72% year-on-year. IP cross-border co-branded products set off a buying frenzy, with 38,100 related demands, up 66.96% year-on-year. Some merchants took the opportunity to raise prices, but the problems of uneven product quality, fake and shoddy products, delayed delivery and lack of after-sales service were outstanding. Behind the fiery outdoor sports such as camping, the demands for sunscreen products and mosquito-repellent products increased by 99.12% and 149.62% respectively. Ice and snow sports are popular, but the related demands are as high as 8677, up 60.51% year-on-year. The quality problems such as ski clothes and skis are outstanding, and the tickets, deposits and safety issues of ski resorts need urgent attention.

  Seven, online consumption continues to escalate, and consumer satisfaction still needs to be improved.

  With the continuous development of e-commerce in China, the epidemic situation catalyzes online consumption habits, and the online shopping field ranks "half of the country’s consumers’ demands". In 2022, the online shopping demand increased by 56.38% year-on-year, which mainly has three characteristics:

  (1) The format of "cloud consumption" has expanded rapidly, and complaints have grown rapidly.

  Various "cloud consumption" modes, such as live delivery, cross-border e-commerce, fresh e-commerce, online shopping, online entertainment, and private kitchen customization, have emerged, which has become a bright spot in the growth of weak consumption last year, but related demands are also rising. There were 220,900 requests for live broadcast with goods, up 1.15 times year-on-year and 5.01 times higher than that in 2020. There were problems such as no products, shoddy products and false propaganda. Cross-border e-commerce demands were 334,500, up 42.63% year-on-year and 1.47 times higher than that in 2020. The problems of negative after-sales service, failure to fulfill warranty commitments and counterfeiting of overseas products were prominent.

  (B) There are many new types of price fraud, and supervision and law enforcement are facing new challenges.

  Technologies such as big data algorithm of platform economy improve transaction efficiency, and it is also easy to induce new price fraud. The online shopping price demand was 106,700 pieces, up 99.03% year-on-year, which mainly included the problems of killing big data, changing trading conditions in real time, "marking low and closing high", concealing preferential threshold conditions, and the preferential treatment for non-members was greater than that for members, which brought higher challenges to the price supervision and law enforcement in the platform economy field.

  (C) Video membership service routines, consumer experience needs to be improved.

  At present, paid members have become the "standard" of video websites, but there is a lack of "standard" of member services, with 8534 related demands, up 103.82% year-on-year. The problems reflected by consumers mainly focus on: unreasonable advance on demand, suspected of repeated charges; The "free advertisement" is not honored, and the video is inserted with advertisements; The prompt of automatic renewal is not obvious, the way of cancellation is difficult to query, and consumers are easy to buy by mistake. Others rely on word games such as adjusting fees and changing rights to make up for losses and reduce users’ trust.

  Eight, "ODR" continued to expand, and diversified solutions to disputes steadily improved.

  Market supervision departments have vigorously promoted the construction of online consumer dispute resolution (ODR) mechanism, and the success rate of settlement and consumer satisfaction have made steady progress. 114,000 ODR enterprises have been developed in various places and settled in the national 12315 platform, and 3,094,800 disputes have been directly negotiated with consumers online. Compared with the traditional administrative mediation method, the average processing time is 7.69 days, which is greatly reduced by 14.2 days; The success rate of reconciliation increased by 11.25 percentage points; Covering 97% of cities, an increase of 2.36% over the previous year, fully releasing the institutional innovation advantages of ODR. On the whole, ODR’s social influence is constantly expanding, and the enthusiasm of market participants for voluntary participation is constantly improving, which has made a useful exploration for diversified solutions to consumer disputes and social co-governance.

  Nine, "sunshine" consumer complaint information, effectively strengthen the source of governance.

  The General Administration continued to promote the publicity of consumer complaint information, formulated a publicity system and built a publicity system, and launched pilot projects in some cities in Jilin, Guangdong, Sichuan and Xinjiang from November 2022. At present, 20,817 complaints from 14,114 enterprises have been publicized, effectively strengthening social supervision and credit constraints, and improving the transparency of the consumption environment, the integrity of operators and the satisfaction of consumers. After publicity, the success rate of complaint mediation in the pilot area increased by 8.39 percentage points compared with that before publicity and 5.97 percentage points compared with the same period of the previous year; The average complaint settlement time was 11.77 days, 2.17 days faster than the same period of the previous year; The consumer evaluation was 4.8 points (out of 5 points), 0.1 points higher than before publicity.

  X. Complaints and reports have become an important channel for discovering illegal clues, and the social supervision role of consumers continues to emerge.

  Consumers actively played the role of social supervision. In 2022, they reported 4,722,300 illegal clues to the market supervision department, up 40.34% year-on-year, including 2,027,300 illegal advertisements, 723,100 violations of consumers’ rights and interests, and 341,800 illegal food safety behaviors. Judging from the increase, reports of unfair competition, trademark violations and online trading violations all increased by more than 60% year-on-year.

  Market supervision departments adhere to the people’s livelihood orientation, strengthen the analysis and judgment of complaints and reports, and severely investigate and punish violations of laws and regulations according to law. 281,100 cases were filed for reports of illegal advertisements and false propaganda; 63,000 cases were reported and filed against violations of consumers’ rights and interests, mainly involving the sale of products that do not meet safety requirements, counterfeiting and cheating consumers; 48,700 illegal reports on food safety were filed.

Liu Luanxiong held a press conference to clarify rumors that had been exposed to shopping with his ex-girlfriend Lv Lijun.

At 11: 00 a.m. on January 3rd, Liu Luanxiong held a press conference to clarify the rumor of getting back together with Lv Lijun. He said that he and Lv Lijun had not seen each other for many years. This time, Lv Lijun asked for something from himself, and the two of them signed the relevant transaction documents in the office building, which was not the rumor of "shopping", and stressed that they were only the parents of a pair of children with Lv Lijun, and there was no other relationship. It is reported that Liu Luanxiong was photographed shopping with his ex-girlfriend Lv Lijun, which caused a heated discussion. On December 31st last year, Liu Luanxiong issued a clarification statement.

The State Council’s joint defense and control mechanism: resolutely oppose "one letter and one release"

  At the press conference held by the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council on the 17th, Mi Feng, spokesman of National Health Commission and deputy director of the Propaganda Department, said that it is necessary to accurately understand and grasp the deployment measures to optimize prevention and control work, and resolutely oppose two tendencies, that is, to continuously rectify layers of overweight, prevent "one letter from being sealed", and oppose irresponsible attitudes, prevent "one release", ensure that the 20 measures are implemented to the letter, and ensure the safety and health of the people.

  Will it cause hidden risk if we no longer judge the secret connection?

  Regarding the social concern that it is no longer necessary to judge whether the secret connection will cause hidden risks, Shen Hongbing, deputy director of the National Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention and academician of China Academy of Engineering, said that this is a more scientific and accurate prevention and control measure based on the risk of infection, and this group of people is no longer isolated centrally, in order to make more effective use of prevention and control resources and service guarantee resources such as diversion and isolation.

  He said that at present, in some places, it is not necessary to directly judge the secret connection as secret connection and carry out upgrading control. "At the same time as canceling the judgment of the secret connection, all localities should make quick judgment, quick detection and quick control for the secret connection. Once the nucleic acid test of the close contact person is positive, it is necessary to further carry out the investigation and control of the close contact person at the first time, which has higher work requirements. "

  Will the cancellation of the medium-risk area affect the precise prevention and control?

  "In order to minimize the control of unnecessary regional personnel, 20 optimization measures canceled the judgment of medium-risk areas." Wang Liping, a researcher at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of China, said that this set a higher standard for the handling of epidemic situations in various places, requiring more accurate and efficient epidemiological investigation and risk assessment. Regarding the nucleic acid detection and control measures in high-risk areas, it is still implemented according to the ninth edition of the prevention and control plan. It is required to carry out nucleic acid detection three days before the implementation of the closure control, and the frequency of subsequent detection can be determined according to the results of the first three tests. Within 24 hours before the cancellation of management, a full-time nucleic acid test in the area should be completed.

  Wang Liping stressed that the elderly, minors, pregnant women, disabled people, people with mobility difficulties, hemodialysis patients, mental patients and patients with chronic diseases living alone in the closed management area should be well arranged to provide them with better living and medical supplies.

  Does it mean that the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 patients should be classified in the future?

  Guo Yanhong, director of the Medical Emergency Department of National Health Commission, said that one of the 20 measures is to strengthen the construction of medical resources, which is also a specific requirement for dealing with the epidemic faster, better and more efficiently in combination with the current situation of epidemic prevention and control, and is also an important measure to better coordinate the epidemic prevention and control and daily medical service guarantee and persist in improving the quality of medical services.

  Guo Yanhong said that since the outbreak, we have strengthened capacity building and classified treatment of patients from three aspects. First, all localities are required to designate hospitals with strong comprehensive ability and high treatment level as designated hospitals. Designated hospitals should be equipped with beds for treatment according to the local population size, and ICU beds should reach 10% of the total number of beds. Second, strengthen the construction of shelter hospitals. Third, hospitals above the second level are required to set up fever clinics, so that they should be all set up and open, and the responsibility system for first diagnosis should be strictly implemented. Once suspicious patients are found, they should be screened as soon as possible. If they are positive, they should be quickly transferred to designated hospitals or shelter hospitals for treatment.

  What are the requirements for regional nucleic acid detection after local epidemic?

  Shen Hongbing pointed out that if there are only sporadic infected people in the local epidemic and the transmission chain is clear, when there is no risk of community transmission, it is generally not necessary to carry out all-staff nucleic acid testing according to administrative regions; When there is a risk of spread of the epidemic, the district where the epidemic is located can carry out a full-time nucleic acid test every day according to the risk assessment results. After three consecutive nucleic acid tests without social infection, a full-time nucleic acid test will be carried out every three days. If there is no social infection, the full-time nucleic acid test can be stopped.

  "For other areas where infected people have frequent activities and long stay, a certain area can be designated to carry out full-time nucleic acid testing based on flow research." Shen Hongbing said that in principle, all staff nucleic acid testing should be carried out once a day, and three consecutive nucleic acid tests without social infection can stop all staff nucleic acid testing.

  Inter-provincial tourism management activities are no longer linked with risk areas. How is it specifically stipulated?

  Recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism issued the Notice on Further Optimizing the Prevention and Control Measures of Epidemic Situation in COVID-19, and doing a good job in prevention and control of cultural and tourism industries scientifically and accurately. It is clear that inter-provincial tourism business activities will no longer be linked with risk areas. In this regard, Li Xiaoyong, deputy director of the Market Management Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, said that the document also requires local cultural and tourism departments to actively guide inter-provincial tourists to take the initiative to conduct nucleic acid testing in accordance with the requirements of "landing inspection" for inter-provincial migrants.

  Regarding the social concern about checking nucleic acid test certificates in public places, Shen Hongbing said that special people such as infants under 3 years old can be exempted from checking negative nucleic acid test certificates. Cross-regional migrants should take the plane, high-speed rail, train, inter-provincial long-distance bus, inter-provincial passenger ship and other means of transportation with negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours. After arriving at the destination, they should carry out "landing inspection" according to territorial requirements. Those who stay in hotels and enter tourist attractions need to check the health code and negative nucleic acid test certificate within 72 hours.

  What is the role played by the special classes in various places to rectify the problem of "layers of overweight"?

  According to Shen Hongbing, since the publication of the 20 measures on the 11th, from the information data of the official website of National Health Commission "Nine No Public Message Boards for Epidemic Prevention and Control", the number of complaints from the masses has dropped significantly, from 3,306 on the 11th to 2014 on the 16th, with a drop of 39%.

  Shen Hongbing pointed out that the problems are mainly concentrated in three aspects: first, restrictive measures such as forced repatriation and isolation are taken for people from low-risk areas, accounting for 25%; The second is to expand the restricted travel range from high-risk areas to other areas at will, accounting for 23%; The third is to expand the scope of risk personnel who take isolation and control measures at will, accounting for 18%.

  "As of 12: 00 on the 17th, rectification ‘ Layer by layer plus code ’ The problem class has transferred a total of 130,000 clues to complaints from local people, and the completion rate is 99%. It should be said that the effect is very remarkable. " Shen Hongbing said.

  (Beijing, November 17 th, by reporter Jin Zhenya)

Thirty years ago, an alternative spy war drama brought the "spy" to life.

Text | Wang Zhongyang lp

    

First of all, it’s hard to treat No regrets as a "serious" spy war drama, because it’s more like a history in which two people of different faiths witnessed each other in decades of love and killing each other.

Tracing Without Regret tells the changes of Beijing from 1949 to 1988 after the founding of New China in the name of "spy war".

In view of this, the drama was controversial in that year, such as "Why should we create a’ good spy’?" "Why do you want to expose scars?" "Why did those past’ sports’ have to be filmed in such detail?" Wait a minute.

But it is also the case that "No regrets" is particularly precious in today’s film and television dramas with similar themes. Even now, it can make the audience think about some problems worth thinking about.

Tracing Without Regret was first broadcast in 1995, produced by Beijing TV Station, directed by Yin Li, written by Zhang Ce and Shi Jianquan, and produced by Zheng Xiaolong. This drama adopts the parallel narration of "two male masters", so "first hero" is teacher Wang Zhiwen and teacher Liu Peiqi. Compared with Wang Zhiwen, who has long been famous, this drama can be regarded as one of Liu Peiqi’s classic masterpieces. At the same time, Teacher He Bing, the young Ms. Li Bingbing, and even the actress Ms. Juanzi, who later played your princess in Princess Huanzhu, all played important roles.

一句话,几十年

1949年,北平和平解放,肖大力(刘佩琦 饰)以人民警察的身份登场,巡逻时他路过剃头铺包师傅(李丁 饰)那里,听见包师傅和徒弟孙焕彰(何冰 饰)赞言天安门放炮庆祝的事情,当中有个高个年轻人止住他们的话,解释放的是什么样的炮,工作原理是什么。

这一耳朵让肖大力询问身旁的留用(原国民政府)警察王六斤(李连义 饰):“这说话的是什么人?”

王六斤瞅了瞅,说:“他叫冯静波,是咱们这的教书先生。”

于是肖大力心里起疑:一个教书先生怎么知道枪炮原理?

这个问题后来围绕在他心里几十年。

为了探寻这个问题,他特意请示上级主动搬到冯静波(王志文 饰)住的院子里同他做了邻居。在随后的漫长岁月中,他夜半时常听到楼上收音机里传来一阵声音:

"Comrade 5182, please answer …"

Before Xiao Dali decided to move here, at midnight, in Feng Jingbo’s bedroom, his conversation with another person confirmed his guess. The man said to Feng Jingbo:

"Capitalism is not as good as communism, and communism is not as good as the Three People’s Principles … The organization decided to let you stay and collect information, and at the same time accept the next work instructions …"

Distinctive, Xiao Dali’s answer has long been known to the audience, and the next step is just a battle of wits between two people-

I know you know I know, I don’t say anything, you don’t say anything.

One is intended to lurk, and the other is to grasp the present. Many years later, when I watched it again, I found that Feng Jingbo seemed to have done nothing bad, and the radio left to him by the "organization" became a decoration. On the contrary, he is completely integrated into the new society, and he is cautious and trembling in Xiao Dali’s often cold eyes.

A walk, a look, two people in each other "accompanied" experienced various major historical events and various movements after the founding of New China. The audience also slowly forgot an important thing through the perspective of onlookers:

This is a spy war drama.

In "Tracing Without Regret", there are not many "spy wars" scenes involved, and it is always just around Xiao Dali who has racked his brains to catch Feng Jingbo’s handle and Feng Jingbo’s ambivalence:

He knows that the organization will contact him at any time, just like a prisoner sentenced to death with a suspended sentence, knowing the result, but he doesn’t know when that day will come.

What’s more, Xiao Dali has to catch the absconding bully "Six Hades", and this person may be the "online" who will contact Feng Jingbo. Therefore, as a neighbor, every time Xiao Dali clamored for a spy in the yard, Feng Jingbo thought that he had been "closed" for a moment or two.

In fact, Xiao Dali did lock him up once, but not because he was caught as a spy, but because of his "emotional problems."

two

Two feelings, sigh the world.

Xiao vigorously suspected Feng Jingbo, but he never mentioned his doubts to anyone except a few people who were limited with the police station.

After the liberation of Peiping, he and his wife Liu Yaqin (Kong Lin) moved into the courtyard where Feng Jingbo lived. By mistake, Liu Yaqin became a teacher of a school for Feng Jingbo, and they became colleagues, and they also had a lot in common.

The couple are young and old, and their educational level is very different. Therefore, as one of the heroines in the drama "Yan value is second", Liu Yaqin always feels CP when he and Feng Jingbo are laughing and even walking together. Even at home, I don’t hesitate to appreciate "Teacher Feng". However, this plot also highlights Xiao Dali’s personality charm-

No culture, but full of magnanimity.

This kind of magnanimity makes him not pretend, not hypocritical, and also looks very brain-dead.

To what extent is magnanimous?

In the face of "movement", he pondered and asked:

"I think, if the enemy agrees with what we are doing, does that mean we are wrong?"

As a result, the superior almost spit out a mouthful of water: "Do you want to be a party member? !”

Xiao Dali was rude and admitted to death, but it was not unreasonable. After the "revolution" began, others attacked the campus. As the director of the police station, he also arrested his son on the grounds that "it could not affect his children’s schooling". Even after being taken away, persecuted or even injured by "teenagers", he would still think that "we are good people fighting good people and misunderstood. But you Feng Jingbo is different! I don’t believe you, a toad, can urinate? !”

In order to find out the question that haunts this "Mr. Feng" in front of him, Xiao Dali "absconded" from the hospital, and as a result, his wife finally couldn’t bear the pressure and hanged herself …

Feng Jingbo, the other hero of this drama, has had a hard time for decades. He is a living person with flesh and blood, followed by a "warrior" with "faith", but the soldier himself is afraid of death. In order not to reveal his whereabouts, or even to cover his identity, he chose to marry the big eyebrow (Yue Xiuqing) who was born as a maid in a brothel, a decision that he regretted when he was young.

There are two scenes in this play that illustrate his pain:

First, Dameizi’s mother and brother came to live in the city from their hometown, and his wife and brother secretly sold garlic. In those days, they were caught by the police station as a result of "speculation". Dameizi’s mother knew that the director was Xiao Dali, a neighbor of her son-in-law, and his wife was a colleague of her son-in-law, so she clamored for him to intercede.

The scholar is thin-skinned, and when Feng Jingbo doesn’t go, the old lady shouts in the yard, and the vulgar words make him speechless.

First, although my brother-in-law was released, the police station asked him to write a check, and the old lady asked Feng Jingbo to write. Feng Jingbo said that I was right. Why did you let me write? The old lady scold again:

"You can’t even write a check or are you a scholar?"

When I grow up, watching this scene again reminds me of a question on the Internet:

Can two people with very different educational levels be together?

The marriage of Feng Jingbo and Xiao Dali can be said to be the perfect answer to this question, because they can all be referenced. Many years later, another popular TV series "Parents Love" also answered this question well:

Divide people.

For Feng Jingbo, who has no love at all, the big eyebrow is just a "bunker", which is different from Xiao Dali’s love of "settling accounts with rival in love with grenades". Feng Jingbo despises the big eyebrow from his heart. This is also the reason why he cheated on the principal’s daughter, Xu Xiaoyu (Liu Xin).

When Dameizi knew that Feng Jingbo was cheating, everyone in the yard could hear her roar. When everyone rushed in, people only saw Feng Jingbo sitting in a chair with scratches on his face, while Dameizi was crying while swearing.

Therefore, Xiao Dali, who is also a working people, shut Feng Jingbo in the toilet and let him think about his own problems.

Feng Jingbo said: "My feelings are my own business."

Xiao Dali said, "I’m talking about other things besides feelings."

Such specious words between two people will exist for many years.

Look at the sea, just ask the sky.

Walking in the history of time, the radio became an antique, and the barber shop was renamed as a barber shop. Xiao Dali, who lost his lover, and Feng Jingbo, who made do with it for half a life, ushered in a new era.

In the changes of the times, they are all old and behind the times.

What Xiao Dali doesn’t understand is why people used to buy meat to buy fat, but now they want to buy lean meat. Why does his son (Hao Rong) become more and more timid? Why are workers and peasants slowly losing their glorious status? Why do you watch your neighbor girl Yuan Yuan (Juanzi) accompany foreigners to foreign-related hotels and become a "lying and earning money advocate" disdained by cleaners? Why did his persistence and persistence become the "brain disease" in the mouth of the younger generation?

What Feng Jingbo doesn’t understand is why his wife and daughter (Li Bingbing) are increasingly alienated from themselves. Why "Looking south to Julian Waghann for another year, Julian Waghann only has propaganda company"? Why does it seem that the more "counter-offensive" it has been for decades, the more "far" it seems? Why did no one mention the blood debt of that year after the "Six Yan Wang" who was shouted and killed by everyone in the past returned to the mainland as a Taiwanese businessman, but instead praised him as a guest? And what is this person who has been lurking for decades and exhausted his life?

So, he drank wine and said in front of everyone:

"I don’t believe this. Can this toad still urinate?"

The somebody else quickly stopped him:

"Why do you talk more and more like Xiao Dali?"

"Love each other" kills each other, which is probably the case.

Interestingly, Xiao Dali only despised Feng Jingbo from beginning to end, disdaining his marriage as a cover, disdaining his infidelity, disdaining his poverty and pedantry, but not his personality. Even in the craziest years of that year, he insisted on grasping evidence to arrest people.

Feng Jingbo only respects Xiao Dali, angry that he is stubborn but respects him, angry that he does not respect personal privacy but respects him, and angry that he does not support the marriage of two children but respects him.

Finally, when Feng Jingbo realized that Dameizi had long known his spy status and burned the "power of attorney", he could only tell his daughter not to be with Xiao’s son, and after decades of suppression, Feng Jingbo was relieved in pain:

I admit it, that’s all.

One morning, Xiao Dali went out and saw a letter on the ground. Feng Jingbo said in the letter:

Dali, you guessed right. I’m a spy, code 5182. I’ll turn myself in. I’ve been pestering you for decades, and I’m convinced.

Postscript

For the first time, I actively, consciously and seriously talked about a TV series nearly 30 years ago. So far, there are still many plots and details that have not been written, just written and written. I found out why the broadcast of No regrets caused a lot of controversy and even criticism.

From 1949 to 1988, New China experienced many major historical events and various movements. There was a scene in the play in which Feng Jingbo couldn’t stand Xiao Dali’s suspicion and said, "You count, from the founding of the People’s Republic to the present, four clean-ups and four small ones are unclear … when have I fallen behind?"

Xiao Dali’s bearded master (Hou Kun) divorced his original rural wife at the speed of light after entering the city, and married the director of women. During the "difficult" period, his wife’s children went to the city to find him, stayed at Feng Jingbo’s school overnight, and went to the canteen to find food in the morning. As a result, they choked to death (big neck disease). Feng Jingbo said that their hometown was starving, and Xiao Dali quit, saying that he was viciously attacking the government. After being released, Feng Jingbo said to him softly, "There is no one in that child’s hometown …" Xiao Dali was no longer angry …

As for Master Bao’s apprentice Sun Huanzhang, who fought in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he was stunned by a bomb, burned off an arm by a firebomb and became a prisoner. After returning to China, he never joined the party. Eliminating the four evils and the madness of the whole people during the Great Leap Forward; Closing brothels and letting women collectively receive cultural education and arrange employment, etc., almost all the phenomena after the opening of the corresponding plot have become a satire. Especially when the former executioner "Six Yan Wang" appeared as a Taiwanese businessman who went to the mainland to find relatives and invest, all those indignant people changed their faces, which further enhanced the historical value and social value of the play.

Compared with the original short stories of the same name, Tracing Without Regret, in the conception of its director and creator, constructs the development process of new China in just 20 episodes, and only uses the lens to lead the audience to "browse" the events that grandparents and fathers have experienced and the performance of all the people in these stories.

Those who are good at meeting people who know how to "keep pace with the times" live well, while those who abide by principles can only lament injustice. As for the Great Leap Forward, Feng Jingbo stood in front of the demolished stove. The stove was developed by him alone to cook hot meals for the students, but it was used by everyone as an "advanced" performance. He could only lament:

The children are going to eat cold rice again.

Xiao Dali behind him is awkward. He may have wanted to say that I caught your "reactionary remarks". But when you think about it, it seems reasonable.

Because Xiao Dali is also an honest man.

As for the most criticized ending, it may be Feng Jingbo’s surrender:

You didn’t catch me. I admitted it myself.

You can’t catch me either, because I haven’t done anything bad.

This was unimaginable in the film and television creation of that year, and it is unimaginable now.

Therefore, I made a little effort to briefly introduce this "No regrets tracking".

It is not "black and white", nor "positive will win evil". The "enemy" also has faith, does not yield, is human and deserves respect.

Rare, very rare, too rare.

If its position is unclear, it just states a real history.

If it is said that there is no distinction between loyalty and treachery, in that history, it is clear who is loyal and who is treacherous.

Fortunately, now this drama can be watched on all major platforms, which is even more rare for an excellent, undisguised, objective and fair literary work.

No regrets, you can’t just pay a joke.

Schwarzenegger, the new Terminator, leads the creative team in SDCC Comic-Con.

Schwarzenegger and Hamilton


1905 movie network news On July 18th, North American time, Arnold Schwarzenegger, linda hamilton, director tim miller and many other masters brought their new films (provisional translations) to SDCC Comic-Con. In addition to a brand-new behind-the-scenes production special, the Terminator crew also announced that edward furlong, who plays kate connor in the film, will return to play in the headquarters for the first time.

In this special edition, directors tim miller, Schwarzenegger and linda hamilton appeared in turn to recommend the highlights of the film for fans. The whole film continues the hard-core fighting style of the series, and has been upgraded on this basis. Various blasting melee scenes are dazzling and shocking. Although James Cameron was absent from the event, in the special edition, Cameron said that the latest Terminator would bring "adrenaline rush" to the audience, and "Card God" also praised director tim miller for filming the original style of the series.

In Terminator: Dark Fate (tentative translation), Arnold Schwarzenegger, the soul figure, made a heavy return as the "Terminator T-800" for the sixth time. Linda hamilton will once again play the role of Sarah Connor, the first female host. As the "father of the Terminator", Cameron is the screenwriter and producer himself. The reunion of the series of golden triangle also makes this terminator’s latest work more exciting.

Schwarzenegger

In this SDCC activity, Arnold, who is about to celebrate his 72nd birthday, is full of energy, not only in a good mood, but also praises the SDCC comic exhibition as a good place to promote movies. And linda hamilton, the heroine, is still in excellent spirits. At the event, Linda was domineering, and she kissed the "governor" on her own initiative, causing an uproar. I wonder if the two of them will join hands to fight against the villains again.

Mackenzie davis, a former actor, plays the biochemical Grace in Terminator: Dark Fate, protecting Dany, a dark-haired girl played by Natalia Reyes. Mackenzie spoke highly of linda hamilton in the interview. When asked who would win the battle for the actress in the cast, Mackenzie replied without hesitation; "Linda will win because she has a strong inner spiritual strength."

Mackenzie Davis

It is reported that Terminator: Dark Fate (temporarily translated) follows Terminator 2: Judgment Day in the plot and forms Cameron’s orthodox Terminator Trilogy together with the first two films. The film will be released in North America on November 1, 2019. I believe that it will once again set off a classic frenzy, which will bring new shock and emotion to thousands of fans.

The Ministry of Education regulates the practice in colleges and universities: students shall not be arranged to practice in entertainment places.

  BEIJING, July 30 (Xinhua) According to the website of the Ministry of Education, recently, the Ministry of Education issued opinions on strengthening and standardizing the internship management of ordinary undergraduate colleges. The opinions pointed out that universities and internship enterprises should provide students with necessary conditions and a safe and healthy environment. Students should not be arranged to practice in entertainment places, and they should not charge students fees in violation of regulations, and they should not detain their property and certificates.

  In recent years, with the joint efforts of universities, government agencies, enterprises, institutions and social organizations, the integration of Industry-University-Research has been deepened, and the internship of college students has been carried out steadily and the quality has been improved steadily. At the same time, some colleges and universities still pay insufficient attention to practice, insufficient investment in practice funds, irregular practice base construction and inadequate practice organization and management, which affect the overall improvement of talent training quality to some extent. In order to further improve the quality of practice and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of students, schools and practice units, the Ministry of Education put forward relevant opinions on strengthening and standardizing the practice management of ordinary undergraduate colleges and universities.

  The opinion mentioned that it is necessary to fully understand the significance of internship and accurately grasp the requirements of internship in the new era.

  In addition, the opinion said that the internship teaching arrangement should be standardized from four aspects. First, strengthen the construction of practice teaching system; The second is to arrange the organization form of internship reasonably; Third, scientifically formulate the internship program; The fourth is to choose a good practice instructor.

  The opinion also pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the organization and management of internship. Colleges and universities should work out internship plans together with internship units, clarify internship objectives, tasks, assessment standards, etc., and jointly organize and implement student internships. Practice instructors should do a good job in training students, track and guide students’ internship on the spot, check students’ internship, deal with problems in practice in time, and do a good job in internship assessment. It is strictly forbidden to entrust intermediary agencies or individuals to organize and manage students’ internship on their behalf.

  According to the opinion, colleges and universities should conduct on-the-spot investigation and evaluation before determining the internship unit, and after determining that the internship conditions are met, they should sign a cooperation agreement with the internship unit to clarify the rights, obligations and management responsibilities of both parties. If the cooperation agreement is not signed according to the regulations, no student internship may be arranged.

  The opinion also said that it is necessary to strengthen the management of student education. Colleges and universities should do a good job in safety and discipline education and daily management of students. Practice units should do a good job in students’ safety production and professional ethics education. Students should respect the practice instructors and on-site technicians, abide by the rules and regulations and labor discipline of the school and the practice unit, keep the secrets of the practice unit, and obey the on-site education management.

  At the same time, we should do a good job in protecting students’ rights and interests. Colleges and practice enterprises should provide students with necessary conditions and a safe and healthy environment, and may not arrange students to practice in entertainment places, charge students fees in violation of regulations, or detain students’ property and certificates. Before the internship, colleges and universities should buy internship liability insurance or personal injury accident insurance for students.

  In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the management of on-the-job and on-the-job practice. On-the-job and on-the-job practice is an essential practical link to cultivate applied talents, and all colleges and universities should organize it scientifically and implement it according to law. Strictly sign the internship agreement among schools, internship units and students, and clarify their respective rights, obligations and responsibilities. Strictly abide by the regulations on working hours, rest and vacation. Unless there are special requirements for clinical medicine and other related majors and internship positions, the working hours shall not exceed 8 hours per day and 44 hours per week, and overtime and night shifts shall not be arranged. In order to protect the rights and interests of internship students to obtain reasonable remuneration, the labor remuneration shall not be lower than 80% of the salary standard for probation period of the same post in principle. In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of minors, students under the age of 16 may not be arranged for internship.

  The opinion also mentioned that it is necessary to improve the work responsibility system and strengthen the construction of practice bases. Colleges and universities should continuously deepen the integration of production and education, vigorously promote the construction of practice bases, and encourage the construction of comprehensive, open and shared practice bases that meet the needs of multi-disciplinary practice. Support qualified provincial education administrative departments and universities to strengthen the construction of internship information, establish an internship information management platform, realize the docking of internship demand information between schools and enterprises, and strengthen the whole process management of internship. Support colleges and universities to strengthen the application of modern information technology and virtual simulation technology in practice, and encourage the development of corresponding virtual simulation projects to replace on-site practice that cannot be carried out due to factors such as production technology and technological process.

  The opinion also pointed out that colleges and universities should increase the input of internship funds to ensure the basic needs of internship. We should actively strive for the support of internship units, reduce the cost of internship and ensure the quality of internship.

  Finally, the opinion emphasizes strengthening the supervision of internship work: the provincial education administrative department should strengthen the supervision of internship work in colleges and universities, focusing on monitoring whether the internship links in the undergraduate training program are scientific and reasonable, whether the internship organization and management are standardized, whether the safety and legitimate rights and interests of students are guaranteed, whether the internship funds are sufficient, and whether the internship effect reaches the predetermined goal. Commend universities with solid internship work and remarkable achievements in internship teaching reform and research. Investigate and deal with violations in the internship process in a timely manner. For schools and places with poor supervision, frequent problems and strong social repercussions, it is necessary to interview relevant responsible persons, urge them to implement the main responsibility, and conduct informed criticism within a certain range.

The Chinese horror film expected in the year was scolded by the hot search.

The writer of this article is the writer @ 中中中中中中中中.

Lazy and greedy, do not love labor, only love movies. 

Last weekend, two hardcore movies were discussed by everyone.

One is Wei Jiahui+Liu Qingyun’s hot police and bandit suspense film Detective Wars, and the other is the annual Chinese-language horror film Curse that many fans are looking forward to.

"Curse" is a very lively movie both inside and outside the play. It is adapted from the true story of a six-mouth evil in Kaohsiung. The trailer was taken off the platform because it was too scary.

When it was shown in Taiwan Province, China, some viewers fled the cinema in fear, and some went to the temple to worship God after watching it. In the same period, the box office topped the Hollywood blockbuster "New Batman", ranking first at the box office of Taiwan Film this year with a score of NT$ 170 million.

With such a stunt, the appetite of mainland fans is naturally lifted high, and even known as "the best Chinese horror film of the year."

However, after the "curse" was launched, it was scolded by the hot search.

Not for anything else, just because of "bad luck."

Is "The Curse" really horrible or unlucky? Xiaowan has helped everyone to check the film. The front part is "high energy" and timid.

"Curse" strung together a curse spanning six years with two timelines.

Six years ago, if a man and his boyfriend and friends formed a "ghost squad" to explore the mysterious village. The whole village is wrapped in a strange and mysterious atmosphere. Everyone greets with strange gestures and worships strange evil spirits.

Boyfriends and friends broke into the "absolutely forbidden tunnel" and died on the spot, and the villagers also died. If the pregnant man was lucky enough to survive, he left here in a state of mental breakdown.

Six years later, Ruonan, who returned to normal, got her daughter’s right to care, and the mother and daughter started a new life. But strange things have happened one after another, and my daughter has symptoms of evil.

If the man runs around for his daughter, but more innocent people suffer, she finally decides to go back to the source of fear-the tunnel in the forbidden area of cults to find out.

On the surface, the horror elements in The Curse are nothing new, but a combination of "Death in a Forbidden Area", "Curse-ridden" and "Strange Death", with the tearful affection elements of "Motherly Saving Women".

But is the "Curse" really about the story of "the great mother is eager to love her daughter and return to the forbidden area PK evil spirit"?

Not necessarily.

There are many contradictory scenes and details in the film. The biggest doubt is: When did the man know about the evil god The Secret Behind? Six years ago or six years later? 

We can interpret this film in a different way, which may break the existing story about "maternal love".

Formally, The Curse also belongs to the popular screen/desktop movie in recent years, which is constantly switching between mobile phone screen, computer screen and video recording in the monitoring room.

Most of the curse content is if the man is explaining it to the screen, and this first-person narrative is actually mixed with many subjective elements.

Through the screen, we saw a novice mother who often "does bad things with good intentions", and she unconsciously felt sympathy and pity.

But what if the man lied? What if we see what she wants us to see?

What if it was all a scam from beginning to end?

The Curse has both positive and negative interpretation space. It depends on the audience’s understanding that loving mother/evil mother, saving women/sacrificing, breaking spells/unsealing evil spirits.

As early as the beginning of the film, "The Curse" implied by the running direction of the Ferris wheel and subway that "our thoughts quietly shape the world". The world is what you think.

The biggest controversy surrounding the curse is: bad luck.

Why did the audience feel unlucky, and even this topic was once hotly searched.

The first is the immersive fear brought by Chinese horror.

Japanese, Korean, European and American horror films are still separated by a layer, and ghosts that can only be hit by crossing the ocean cannot induce the sense of sight of domestic audiences. Taiwan Province horror movies are different. Everyone has the same root and the folk culture looks familiar.

There are two kinds of horror elements in the curse: foreign elements and Chinese elements. The former includes insects, antennae, secret fear and jumpscar; The latter includes folk customs, feudal superstitions and Chinese binding.

Although the former is scary, it will be forgotten after seeing nausea; It is the latter that really goes deep into the bone marrow and causes association.

Whispering the mantra "Fire Buddha Xiu Yi" and "Heart Sa Baa" which can be seen everywhere, strange cult totems can also find similarities in murals;

There are common spells and exorcism rituals in feudal times; There are also ancient altar offerings, swaying dim red lanterns, and hairy clay dolls in the ancestral hall, which can understand the essence of Chinese horror.

Have to sigh with emotion, Taiwan Province horror movies have a way of holding Chinese horror. It is a trend in recent years to combine folk elements with stories of evil spirits, and it is also an opportunity for Taiwan Province horror films to revive. The previous "Little Girl in Red" series and "Zongxie" also exploded for similar reasons.

Little girl in red 2

The second reason for bad luck is that the audience feels offended.

Watching traditional horror movies, we usually stand in the perspective of God and overlook the tricks of the characters in the film. Although the people in the film have no idea about their own situation, we know in advance that there are ghosts of the dead, and we treat them with a sense of superiority from an omniscient perspective.

"Curse" uses screen narration, which is equivalent to the audience standing in the second perspective and having an equal dialogue with the characters in the film, which is easy to produce immersion.

So when we read the spell after Ruonan at the end of the film, we found ourselves cheated and became a part of the curse.

When the audience realizes it, people will naturally feel annoyed. The subtext is "The director actually dragged us into it" and "The dummy actually lied to the real person".

This kind of "offense" to the audience is not new, and it has also appeared in other horror films before.

The most classic is the video of Sadako’s death in "The Ring of Midnight". People who watch the video will die strangely within 7 days, and if they pass it on to others, they can hand over bad luck.

There are also pirated videos in "Ghost Will Show". It is said that anyone who sees the death of Fusang (the film in the film) will be killed by a female ghost. Of course, the characters in the play saw it, and so did the audience outside the play.

In Truth or Adventure, there is also a bridge that releases videos to video websites. In this way, the protagonist group allows more people to share the devil’s sanctions.

"Curse" should refer to the above films and set up a bridge that offends the audience. From the perspective of communication, this stunt is quite memorable, which is really conducive to the wide spread of the film.

Its essence is no different from old terrier’s "If you don’t forward it to X people within X hours, you will …", so you don’t have to feel unlucky or unlucky.

Don’t be afraid, there is also a curse letter in Legend of Wulin.

Returning to the film itself, The Curse is a Chinese horror film worth watching with acceptable quality.

The greatest advantages and disadvantages of The Curse are related to the screen narration.

On the one hand, with the help of large and small screens, it builds a horror experience with a strong sense of immersion and interaction, and all the scary pictures seem to happen in front of us.

On the other hand, in order to pursue the consistency of the form before and after, the film also added a screen where it is not necessary to use the screen narrative, which is not as good as the semi-screen narrative of the Female Ghost Bridge.

The Curse has brought many amazing highlights, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Kevin Ko, a new generation director, also has ambitions and plans to devote himself to it.

When he was a student, he filmed a small-budget horror short film "Ghost Print", the first feature film was the slashing thriller "Fatal Party", and in his early works, there was a doomsday counterattack related to the doomsday element, which was enough to see his interest.

In the past ten years, he has not produced much, and he is out of the category of horror. The Adult 2, the Emergency of Getting Off the Bill and the Budaoxia, which were filmed in the mainland, can only be regarded as unsuccessful commercial comedies.

From the beginning of "The Curse", Kevin Ko returned to the old line of horror films. The win-win box office reputation of "Curse" gives him confidence to promote the follow-up films of the same type.

In addition to Curse 2, which features a girl and a boy, Kevin Ko also intends to open a "one-word movie universe" based on the real events in Taiwan Province.

Maybe, there will be the next explosion in the follow-up new films "Pickling", "Sleeping", "Even" and "Burial" of "One Word Movie Universe".

Where to go for fitness? The official plan is coming!

(CCTV reporter Yang Wei)

Thirteen films were packed into the "May Day" schedule, and the schedule dependence became more and more serious.

  Is this year’s "May Day" file too crowded? Yesterday, the movie "When Love Comes" suddenly appeared in the "May Day" file pre-sale list of Lighthouse Professional Edition. At one time, there were as many as 14 films in May 1st, which was twice as many as those in the Spring Festival. After several appearances, there are still as many as 13 films, which is the largest number of films in May 1st in history.

  Although there are many films, the box office is not satisfactory. It has been a week since the pre-sale of the May 1 movie. According to the real-time data of Lighthouse Professional Edition, as of 17: 50 on April 28, the total box office of the May 1 movie (including the new movie released on April 30) exceeded 100 million yuan. Insiders pointed out that compared with Spring Festival, Summer Holiday, National Day and New Year’s Eve, the "May Day" file can only be regarded as a "waist file", but it is this waist file that attracts more than a dozen movies, as if it were more popular than the Spring Festival file.

  The films are released together, why is the pre-sale cold? How should the industry re-examine the festival schedule? Under the "involution" of the waist schedule, we may wish to have some cold thinking.

  Is the "May Day" file worth squeezing?

  The output value of "May 1st" file is obviously higher than that of Qingming file, Dragon Boat Festival file and Mid-Autumn Festival file. This year’s "May 1 ST" file showed a situation of "one super and many strong" in the pre-sale stage like the Spring Festival file, and the word-of-mouth of the film became more and more important.

  "My happiness is gone." Many fans sighed when they learned that "Antique close encounter of mahjong", which was originally scheduled for May Day, was withdrawn. "Antique close encounter of mahjong" is not the only film that disappeared from the May 1 ST file. The film "There is She in the World" directed by Zhang Aijia, Li Shaohong and Chen Chong also disappeared in the pre-sale lineup of the May 1 ST file, which made many people’s expectations fail. At present, it is not known when it will be released.

  Movies such as Manas Man, Migratory Birds and Dog Fruit Theorem once quietly appeared in the "May Day" file list, and then quietly left; "Running to the Sea" and "When Love Comes" suddenly filled the position in recent days. At present, there are 13 May 1 movies that have been pre-sold, including My Love’s On the Cliff, Secret Visitor, Fighting Against the Black, ONCE UPON A TIME IN HONG KONG’s The Sunshine Robber, The True Three Kingdoms, GG Bond Movie, The Diary of a Dinosaur, Searching for Han, etc., making it the largest number of May 1 movies in history.

  Among this year’s "May 1" movies, the most eye-catching one is the spy war movie "Above the Cliff", which was first tried by director Zhang Yimou. The film, starring Zhang Yi, Yu Hewei, Amanda, Zhu Yawen and Liu Haocun, tells the story that in 1930s, a group named "outrat" was sent to the Northeast, and fought bravely with the enemy and carried out covert operations under severe test. Before the release, the film accumulated word of mouth after screening, and the score of cat’s eye screening was as high as 9.2 points. Previously, films such as Antique close encounter of mahjong and There is She in the World were withdrawn from the archives. Apart from being "too crowded", many people analyzed it to avoid such strong films as Above the Cliff. However, with the withdrawal of two films with more attention, there are not many films that can be regarded as heavyweights in this year’s "May 1" file.

  Yu Xiansheng, the manager of a Shanghai cinema, thinks that this year’s "May Day" movies are of good overall quality, such as My Love, the star-studded Above the Cliff and Secret Visitor, which have high box office expectations. At the same time, he is optimistic about the movie "True Three Kingdoms Warriors" adapted from the game. Although the pre-sale of the film is not ideal at present, it is better than the strong cast, which is expected to attract many fans of the Three Kingdoms and game fans to watch the movie.

  In the May 1 movie, Professor Ishikawa of Shanghai Theatre Academy was more optimistic about Above the Cliff, and he predicted that ONCE UPON A TIME IN HONG KONG might also become a dark horse. "Hong Kong films have a high degree of completion from the film industry level, mainly depending on the director’s degree of play." He believes that the collective absence of appealing young and middle-aged directors such as Xú Zhēng, Frant Gwo and Luyang in this year’s "May 1 ST" file exposed the problem of insufficient creative power at present. "After their films entered the Spring Festival file, the" May 1 ST "file could not get a strong film. Although there is Zhang Yimou, it is not attractive enough for young movie-watching groups."

  Is the "May Day" file worth squeezing? According to the historical data, the highest box office record of the "May 1st" file is 1.527 billion yuan for the four-day holiday in 2019. If the natural growth brought by the extension of holiday time is not counted, the "May 1st" file is also the second three-day holiday box office after the New Year’s Day file, which exceeds 1 billion yuan, and its output value is significantly higher than that of Qingming file, Dragon Boat Festival file and Mid-Autumn Festival file. With the extension of the May Day holiday to five days, its position in the film market will continue to rise in the future.

  Liu Zhenfei, an analyst at Cat’s Eye Research Institute, said that in 2021, there will be 13 May 1 movies, among which 9 movies, including My Love’s Above the Cliff and Secret Visitors, the number of people who want to see Cat’s Eye exceeds 10,000. In 2018, the total number of new films around the "May 1 ST" file layout was 10, and the number of people who wanted to see it was 6. This year, both the number of scheduled films and the number of popular films have reached a record high. "Overall, this year ‘ May Day ’ In the pre-sale stage, the stalls are like Spring Festival stalls ‘ How strong is one super ’ The situation, but ‘ How strong ’ The situation is not clear at present, and the final decision is in the hands of the audience. Word of mouth is becoming more and more important for films in fierce competition, which has become a trend. "

  Love movies become the biggest winners?

  In the fast-paced life, watching brain-burning suspense and spy war movies is naturally no match for relaxing and enjoyable youth romance movies. However, "Above the Cliff" and "Secret Visitors" have more word-of-mouth protection than My Love.

  According to Mu Chen, Dean of the Lighthouse Research Institute of Alibaba Pictures, the "May 1" file does not belong to the big schedule, and the current pre-sale situation is still normal. "In the last four or five years, ‘ May Day ’ The box office has maintained a steady growth rate, and the average box office in the past two years has reached more than 300 million yuan. This year is a five-day holiday, which physically lengthens the time dimension of the schedule and will definitely broaden the schedule capacity. "

  Thirteen films were released together, naturally some people were happy and others were sad, but many people didn’t expect the romantic film My Love to rank first in the pre-sale. According to the statistics of Lighthouse Professional Edition, as of April 28th, the total pre-sale of My Love before screening has exceeded 41 million yuan, followed by the film Above the Cliff directed by Zhang Yimou, which exceeded 25 million yuan. Director Chen Zhengdao’s Secret Visitor, another suspense film after Master of Memory and Master of Hypnosis, ranked third with over 10 million yuan.

  Judging from the film theme and lineup, My Love does not have obvious advantages. The film, starring Greg Han Hsu and Zhang Ruonan, tells the story of Zhou Xiaoqi’s love for You Yongci who fell in love at first sight when he was young for 15 years, but missed and reunited again and again under the trick of fate. It was originally planned to be released on May 20 th, the homonym "I love you".

  It is hard to imagine that the pre-sale of this romantic film featuring "sweet abuse" can beat Zhang Yimou’s spy war blockbuster and Secret Visitor starring Aaron Kwok, Duan Long and Zifeng Zhang.

  Since 2013, "To Youth We Will Die", youth romance films have been dominating the box office of "May 1st" file. This year’s "Above the Cliff" and "Secret Visitors" did not perform as expected. Is it because suspense and spy films are not as popular as romantic films?

  According to the report of Lighthouse Research Institute, in recent years, from the perspective of type distribution, there is a feature that love and action suspense alternately prevail. In terms of audience types, the core audience of romantic films is larger than that of suspense spy films. Whether the audience can empathize and release strong emotions is an important weight for romantic films to achieve high reputation and box office.

  My Love tells the love story of ordinary people. After the release of his own lineup, the related video broadcast volume easily exceeded 100 million. On the vibrato platform, the film was marketed on the topic of "Ten years of long-distance love, and finally lost to reality", which caused heated discussion among netizens.

  Many people can’t help but write their emotional past and breakup experience under the video. As the film emphasizes in the propaganda, My Love interprets every "I" in love. "This film is for everyone, and I hope everyone can find their own past in this film and find their own appearance in love."

  According to Mu Chen’s analysis, My Love is a film with strong social attributes, and its theme types, including the main creative lineup, are very suitable for the young audience, so it is normal to achieve the current popularity and pre-sale results. Next, it depends on whether the content quality can be recognized by the core audience, which is the key factor for it to dominate the schedule. "Romance films are usually difficult to squeeze into the big schedule, and it is not surprising to dominate the small schedule."

  Ishikawa believes that it is a bit accidental that My Love ranks first in the pre-sale of May 1 ST, but the suspense film genre is relatively new in China film market, and there are not many breakthroughs in recent years. The box office performance is not very good, and the pre-sale of Secret Visitors is not ideal. Although Zhang Yimou’s films have a high artistic level and excellent production, they are also facing the problem of being out of touch with the mainstream audience of the post-90s and post-00s.

  In the fast-paced life, going to the cinema to watch a brain-burning suspense and spy movie is naturally no match for a relaxing and enjoyable youth romance. However, in the eyes of the industry, from the perspective of lineup and production, Above the Cliff and Secret Visitor are obviously more word-of-mouth than My Love. Even if the latter is ahead in pre-sale, if the word-of-mouth is not ideal, it may be quickly overtaken on the first day of release.

  Should the movie schedule be changed?

  Hoping on the slotting effect, it is inevitable to have a gambling mentality. Resources are too concentrated, and it is not good for the market in the long run. The industry should think about how to actively adjust the schedule and tap the potential of small schedule.

  The strongest Spring Festival file in history born this year is inseparable from the transfer consumption generated by the call of "celebrating the New Year on the spot". With the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the number of people traveling on May 1 this year has greatly increased. Statistics show that this year’s "May 1" Shanghai hotel orders increased by about 12 times year-on-year, and the number of tourists nationwide is expected to reach a new high. With the increasing number of people traveling, it is bound to curb movie consumption to a certain extent, which makes the market prospect of this year’s "May 1 ST" file confusing.

  At present, the Lighthouse Research Institute predicts that the overall box office of the "May 1" file will reach 1.8 billion yuan. Judging from the pre-sale, My Love’s Secret Visitor and Above the Cliff are in the first camp. "The estimated target is 4 billion yuan, and the overall box office should not be too bad." Ishikawa believes that this year’s "May 1" film lineup is not weak, with directors, actors and stories … … Most of them are above the passing line. If two or three films can break 1 billion yuan, the box office is expected to hit a new high in the same period.

  "More than 10 films grab ‘ May Day ’ File, the most direct reason is this year ‘ May Day ’ The holiday lasts for 5 days, and the deeper reason is that the schedule efficiency and market share have become higher and higher since the resumption of work. " Liu Zhenfei believes that this year’s "most crowded ‘ May Day ’ File "continues the competition trend of Spring Festival file, but the non-file period is more deserted than in previous years, which may be a microcosm of the overall box office trend of the film market this year. "In the first quarter, for example, although the New Year’s Day file was 1.3 billion yuan in three days and the Spring Festival file was 7.8 billion yuan in seven days, the overall box office in the first quarter was 18.1 billion yuan, compared with 18.7 billion yuan in 2019. This is related to the fact that overseas markets have just recovered and the number of popular imported films has been greatly reduced, but in the final analysis, the market is increasingly dependent on the schedule."

  "To tell the truth, my biggest worry happened after the Spring Festival." Ishikawa found that after the Spring Festival, the movie box office fell off a cliff, and once the box office was only more than 20 million yuan a day. "In previous years, the popularity of the Spring Festival stalls will continue for a period of time, driving the small stalls such as Valentine’s Day to rise. We call it the hammock effect. However, after the end of the Spring Festival stalls this year, the box office suddenly fell, which also stimulated the producers to squeeze into the festival stalls." Mu Chen also believes that "the most crowded ‘ May Day ’ The emergence of "stalls" is related to the increasing concentration of the film market in China in recent years. For large-scale films, the schedule shows a particularly strong adsorption to the film side, and everyone hopes to get higher popularity and better box office with the help of the schedule.

  Hoping on the slotting effect, it is inevitable to have a gambling mentality. "Resources are too concentrated, and everyone is bleeding, which is not good for the market in the long run." Ishikawa believes that the industry should think about how to actively adjust the schedule, for example, by appropriately reducing the ticket price to encourage the usual film scheduling, disperse the competitive pressure of the festival schedule, stimulate public consumption, and tap the potential of the small schedule. Several films such as Antique close encounter of mahjong, etc. should have seen this and made a rational choice.

  Although the schedule benefit is high, some films suitable for long-term travel have achieved good box office in relatively deserted months. For example, "Calm Down" directed by Li Xiaofeng earned more than 80 million yuan at the box office last November. "It is an important way to improve the box office of movies to train the audience to watch movies in the off-schedule period." Liu Zhenfei called on the industry to pay attention to non-popular schedules in the selection of schedules, so as to promote the more healthy and benign development of China film market. Mu Chen also believes that how to improve the diversification of content supply and enhance the audience’s interest in entering the cinema is a problem that the whole industry needs to think about and take seriously in the next six months. "This year ‘ May Day ’ Compared with previous years, the stalls are indeed more crowded, but we must also consider an objective situation. Domestic films have long been in oversupply. According to the production of 1,000 films a year and the volume of about 500 films entering the cinema, there may be 10 films released in a week. ‘ May Day ’ The file is not too crowded. " Ishikawa believes that for the current domestic film market, the lack of truly competitive films and the low-level repetition of a large number of films are the biggest problems. "When we can produce four or five films like The Wandering Earth and Hi, Mom a year, it doesn’t matter whether the total amount is more or less. The key is to improve the quality of the film. "
