　　[car home Industry] In two weeks, the automatic transmission industry in China will usher in a major event. Point the coordinates to Yangzhong, Jiangsu, and Hive Yichuang Industrial Park. The first 9DCT automatic gearbox and hybrid powertrain independently developed by local enterprises in China will be officially launched. This indicates that Honeycomb Yichuang "I Era 2.0" will realize industrialization.

　　As the core of Great Wall Motor’s power system, Honeycomb Yichuang’s "I Era" new generation powertrain 4N20 engine and 9DCT/9HDCT automatic gearbox are both mass-produced in Yangzhong Industrial Park. At the same time, Honeycomb Yichuang’s first 3.0L V6 gasoline engine HY6Z30 and the first 9AT/9HAT are also under simultaneous mass production planning. Recently, Zheng Lipeng, vice president of Honeycomb Yichuang, revealed more key information to car home.

　　Many people may be unfamiliar with hives. Honeycomb Yichuang, cultivated by Great Wall Motor for many years, is one of the cores of its supply chain system.

　　In 2018, Great Wall Motor reorganized its parts system, integrating Honeycomb Yichuang (engine, gearbox, electric drive, intelligent steering), Noble Automobile (seat, interior and exterior decoration, rubber, etc.), Jingcheng Engineering (chassis, die casting, equipment, etc.) and Mande Electronics (photoelectric, thermal system, electrification business) successively, participating in market competition and supplying to the outside world. In addition, the power battery industry operates independently with honeycomb energy, and the hydrogen energy industry operates independently with untapped energy and combustion power.

"Honeycomb Easy Creation mainly includes power, transmission, electric drive and intelligent steering business"

　　At present, Honeycomb Easy Creation is mainly located in Baoding, Xu Shui, Tianjin, Yangzhong, Chongqing and Taizhou. In Yangzhong, the project of honeycomb power system, transmission system and electric drive system will be put into production before the end of this year, and the die-casting project of intelligent steering system and Jingcheng Engineering will be completed by the end of this year.

■ The supply system is completely localized.

　　Many years ago, when Great Wall Motor no longer relied on foreign procurement of engines, the automatic gearbox became its breakthrough point, and it did not hesitate to point to 7DCT. Since mass production in 2017, with the huge market of Great Wall Motor, Honeycomb Yichuang 7DCT has become a well-known product, and the market share will exceed 2 million units by the end of this year.

　　Soon, not only the Great Wall, but also many local enterprises in China will enter the 9th gear era.

　　In July this year, the 4N20 engine in the new generation powertrain of the "I Era" was rolled off the assembly line in Honeycomb Yangzhong, and 9DCT and 9HDCT will be put into production in November, followed by DHT dual-motor hybrid special gearbox. In the future, with the completion of new factories in Taizhou, Jiangsu and Yongchuan, Chongqing, Honeycomb Yichuang will establish a perfect gearbox production system throughout the country.

　　Why do you want to do the ninth gear? The purpose is to make the engine more efficient. On the one hand, the efficient range of Honeycomb’s innovative first-generation engine will be wider, and on the other hand, the engine will operate in the efficient area as much as possible through the cooperation of the 9-speed automatic gearbox. In addition to the horizontal 9DCT, Honeycomb Yichuang China’s first vertical 9AT and hybrid system will also be unveiled in the future.

　　Now, the hive can completely not rely on imported parts, the gearbox supply chain is completely localized, and the upstream suppliers are also local and foreign (required to build factories in China). Each component will have different suppliers and can be substituted for each other to maintain the stability of the supply system.

　　The engine and automatic gearbox are only part of the layout of the honeycomb enterprise.

　　In terms of electric drive, Honeycomb is supplied by Euler. Since it was put into production in June, the market has more than 10,000 units, and the flat wire motors at the forefront of the market have already been laid out. The Honeycomb Motor Project Team (the predecessor of Honeycomb Electric Drive) made it clear at the beginning of its establishment in 2012 that flat wire is the future development trend, and in 2015, the first Hairpin drive motor was trial-produced. In Yangzhong, the future production capacity of Hairpin motors will be expanded to 500,000 units/year. At present, honeycomb electric drive has developed 45kW-150kW products, while 200kW products are under development.

　　In terms of steering, Honeycomb turned to independently develop DP-EPS intelligent steering system, which was applied to the latest (|) and Great Wall H9. In the future, Yangzhong will also invest 250,000 sets of annual steering system capacity. Honeycomb turning will also realize foreign matching.

■ Mastering core technologies and opening up cooperation.

　　Undeniably, the supply system of Great Wall Motor has realized "internal circulation" in China. Zheng Lipeng said: "If we really want to have core competitiveness, we must achieve comprehensive control from hardware manufacturing to software design."

　　In Taizhou, the dual clutch module and hydraulic module will be produced independently, which means that all the core components of the automatic gearbox can be controlled by the hive. At the same time, the control software of automatic gearbox is also owned by Honeycomb, and the engine control software will also be independently developed by the end of next year.

　　It is worth noting that turbocharger, transfer case, hydrogen fuel cell air compressor, 70Mpa hydrogen storage bottle, valve body and honeycomb are also laid out, and some production lines are under construction. These are areas that were once monopolized by foreign companies in the past.

　　"When we have the ability to produce key components such as dual clutch modules and hydraulic modules, it does not mean that we will weaken cooperation with companies such as Borgwarner and Schaeffler, which are still the most important partners of the hive." Zheng Lipeng emphasized that the ability of self-production can convince the partners that the hive has mastered many patents in these key areas.

"Gun 2020 2.0T Travel Edition"

　　In Zheng Lipeng’s view, "when others get your new technology and design, they are mostly skeptical, but if we can verify and produce, it will not be like this." It is reported that according to the feedback from users of Great Wall H9 and Gun, it is hoped that the next generation of transfer gears can shift gears dynamically and their performance will be further improved. To this end, the Great Wall has put forward a brand-new design and is talking with suppliers about how to produce it.

　　All kinds of new ideas are based on the demand of product differentiation. Looking back many years ago, China enterprises such as Great Wall were still very weak, and they had no right to speak when talking about cooperation with top suppliers in the world. It was good that the other side was willing to cooperate and provide products. Now, when the procurement demand of the Great Wall is large enough and the market is rich enough, a new concept of positive research and development will be needed to build a competitive advantage.

　　"We don’t have to do everything ourselves. The actual application is external suppliers plus some self-production. The purpose of self-production of key components is to master core technical capabilities and cultivate local supply chains. " Zheng Lipeng said, "We have basically achieved 100% localization of all products."

　　It is expected that the honeycomb enterprises will start to support local enterprises with their own core technologies.

　　In fact, Honeycomb Yichuang has been looking for opportunities for foreign breakthroughs since it confirmed its independence from the Great Wall in 2018. In August 2019, BAIC, Great Wall and SDIC China Merchants (the management company of SDIC Innovation and the second largest shareholder of Honeycomb Energy) signed a strategic cooperation agreement. Since then, BAIC and Honeycomb Yichuang have become closer and closer. In May this year, the new Beijing BJ40 was launched with HY4C20B 2.0T gasoline engine produced by Honeycomb Yichuang. This is the cooperation between two China brand car companies, BAIC and Great Wall, and it is also the result of Honeycomb’s active external support.

"Beijing BJ40 2020 2.0T automatic four-wheel drive urban hunter edition"

　　Before the end of next year, in addition to BAIC, Honeycomb Yichuang will also add four engine customers and two gearbox customers, and the development work is currently underway. In addition, the new customer cooperation information of motors and batteries will be released one after another, and the hybrid special transmission DHT will also support some new forces to build cars in the future.

■ cut in from mixing to create an ecological circle

　　Not long ago, the "Technology Roadmap 2.0 for Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicles" just officially released has been very clear. It is planned that by 2035, the proportion of energy-saving vehicles and new energy vehicles in China will each account for about 50%. This means that the policy orientation confirms the important strategic position of energy-saving hybrid vehicles.

　　At present, the choice of hybrid technology route is not the same in the major automobile markets around the world. In China, the application of P2 and DHT architecture is more prominent. From the perspective of consumer demand, in addition to energy saving and consumption reduction, different consumer groups show diversity in cost performance, power and extreme demand, and the research and development innovation of hybrid technology requires multiple design concepts.

"Honeycomb Easy-to-Create Hybrid System Solution"

　　According to the data, Honeycomb Yichuang has created a hybrid product design concept of power system called "X in One". Where "X" stands for diversified product R&D platform, "in" stands for diversified integration of power system, and "One" stands for flexible product service oriented to customer demand.

　　Zheng Lipeng said that such a platform combination can meet the needs of different user groups.

　　At present, Honeycomb has built 2.0T and 3.0T hybrid engines. Matching 9HDCT and DHT hybrid transmission in transverse structure, matching with 1-speed or 2-speed eAD electric drive axle, can match the honeycomb energy lithium-ion battery (PHEV); Under the vertical structure, it is matched with the 9HAT and DHT hybrid special transmission, and the first gear TOD2 is a high-performance transfer gear for TOD, which can match the lithium ion battery (PHEV).

　　In the longer term, platformization is just the beginning. In the future, based on the platform and resource advantages within the Great Wall Holding System, Honeycomb Yichuang will strive to build a full-spectrum automotive powertrain technology ecology covering traditional-hybrid-pure electric-hydrogen fuel power. Honeycomb Yichuang will cooperate with Honeycomb Energy and Unprovoked Energy to build a full-spectrum business ecosystem of future automobile power system around the future automobile power system.

　　By 2025, Honeycomb will achieve an engine capacity of 1.95 million units, a gearbox capacity of 2 million units, an electric motor drive capacity of 550,000 units and a power battery capacity of 100GWh h..

Editor’s summary:

　　In recent years, it is a trend that the excellent parts enterprises cultivated by the automobile factory are gradually independent, but it is not easy to really get rid of the backer to achieve external supply. Honeycomb Easy Creation, Honeycomb Energy, Unprotected Energy, and three other independent parts enterprises cultivated by the Great Wall are all worthy of in-depth study.

　　The breakthrough of honeycomb enterprises began with engines and automatic gearboxes, and strengthened the route of hybrid, pure electric and hydrogen energy. Nowadays, Honeycomb is easy to create, including Honeycomb Energy and Unprotected Energy. The total number of employees in the world has reached 18,000. Team management may be a relatively difficult problem for Honeycomb. In fact, Wei Jianjun, the chairman of Great Wall Motor, has been promoting the reform, and Honeycomb is also following up the establishment of combat units and mechanisms, and implementing the concept of coordinated operations. In Zheng Lipeng’s eyes, the Great Wall provides a very clean platform for the right people to do the right things, without any professional background. As long as you have the ability and can respond quickly, you will have a chance to rise. (Text/car home Liu Honglong)

　　Trump shouted "It’s easy to win!" While heading for the "trade war road", the end of the road is unemployment, losses, government tax losses and the reduction of cheap goods.

　　Trump hoisted a "trade war melting pot" and said that "the job opportunities brought by the trade war will be caught while it is hot!" (Comics are all from cagle Comics website)

　　Trump fired a shell of "increasing steel import tariffs", but what he got was that he could not increase employment, revenge from allies, rising costs and domestic political influence.

　　In order to "give priority to the United States" and "make the United States great again", US President Trump really took pains. Frequent lifting of the trade stick is aimed at forcing the "opponents" in their eyes to sit at the negotiating table and maximize the interests of the United States. Facing the American people and enterprises, he has a firm tone and promises to realize the prosperity of the United States; In the face of allies and "opponents", he expressed his emotions and demanded to realize the interests of the United States. However, the businessman president with the aura of "the art of trading" on his head doesn’t seem to realize that it may work in business, but it doesn’t work in international relations and trade. Whether at home or abroad, under the leadership of Trump, the United States and "unreliable" began to go hand in hand.

　　trade warfare

　　Can manufacturing return?

　　"Buy American goods and hire Americans!" This is the goal that US President Trump has repeatedly emphasized. Revitalizing the American real economy is also considered to be one of the important reasons why the United States is bent on provoking trade frictions around the world. However, as the United States continues to overweight in the trade war, what is the result?

　　Remember Harley, the motorcycle manufacturer who announced his departure because of the trade war and caused Trump’s anger? Harley’s quarterly report shows that its motorcycle shipments fell by 11.3% in the second quarter. The company’s operating profit margin in 2018 was forced to drop from 10.5% to 9%— 10%。 In addition, according to the latest news, the Harley-Davidson motorcycle factory in northern Kansas is about to close, taking the first step to transfer production. Harley is currently building a new factory in Thailand, and plans to transfer more production to India, Brazil and Thailand to save costs.

　　Harley is certainly not the only American company that is complaining. BMW, General Motors and Whirlpool all expressed their dissatisfaction.

　　According to Fortune magazine, BMW announced that it would increase the sales price of two American-made SUVs in China, which is the latest sign of the impact of Trump’s trade war. According to the Financial Times, analysts said that import tariffs are "the main threat to industry profits" and warned that the losses caused by tariffs to BMW and Daimler may reach 4% to 5% of the profits in 2019. BMW and Daimler invested a lot of money to set up factories in the United States, and now they are affected by the trade war provoked by the United States, which is ironic.

　　General Motors and home appliance giant Whirlpool have also lowered their performance expectations. According to the report of the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, there are voices in the financial sector that are worried about the investment willingness of enterprises and the shrinking of personal consumption. The US economy remains strong at present, but the trade war may lead to a decline in investment and consumption, thus expanding the blow to corporate performance and casting a shadow over the real economy.

　　Apple has just become the first technology company with a market value of more than $1 trillion. However, even apples began to cry out for pain. According to the website of Bloomberg News, Apple submitted a report to the US Securities and Exchange Commission: "Tariffs may increase the cost of the company’s products and make them more expensive, thus reducing the competitiveness of products. Political uncertainty surrounding international trade disputes and protectionist measures may also have a negative impact on consumer confidence."

　　"Buying American goods" is difficult to achieve, and "hiring Americans" has become "a mirage".

　　Calvin Dooley, CEO of the American Chemical Council, predicted that a 25% tariff would "have a devastating impact on American chemical manufacturers". Many American companies have warned that if the situation is not alleviated, it may have an impact on the economy and lead to a decrease in jobs.

　　In the smoke of the trade war, Eric Gasetti, the mayor of Los Angeles, led an emergency delegation to visit Asia. There is a simple reason. According to the website of American Consumer News and Business Channel, with the White House threatening to impose higher tariffs on China goods worth $200 billion, many American port managers are preparing for the possibility of cancellation of shipments and unemployment. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are estimated to provide nearly 1 million jobs for the whole of Southern California.

　　This is still the beginning. According to the data of the Peterson Institute for International Economics in the United States, if the United States really imposes a 25% tariff on cars around the world, 195,000 American workers will be in the range of 1-mdash; Unemployment within three years, and in the case of other countries taking countermeasures, the situation will be even worse: the United States will lose about 624,000 jobs.

　　inflation of prices

　　Can you satisfy the people?

　　"American consumers have begun to feel the sting of rising costs." CNN reported that.

　　Erin Ennis, Senior Vice President of u.s.-china business council, said: "About half of the goods from China need to face higher tariffs. The increased cost will be transmitted to American consumers and will affect the wallets of most Americans. " The British Times website reported that.

　　From Coca-Cola to RV, from toys to clothing, the storm of price increase has been thundering.

　　CNN reported that Coca-Cola has raised the price of carbonated drinks because the recent 10% tariff on imported aluminum made the production cost of Coca-Cola cans higher. CEO James Quincy admits that the price increase is "destructive" but necessary.

　　According to the website of The Wall Street Journal, Michael Harpy, CEO of Winnebago Industries, an RV manufacturer, said that due to the recent price increase of some products, the company began to consider raising prices. Although the company did not want to disclose its price increase, it said that in order to cut costs, it had made changes, such as modifying the floor design of the RV.

　　Toys will soon become the "hardest hit". Among the $200 billion of goods to be exported to the United States, including $12.2 billion of children’s toys. The United States is the world’s largest toy consumption market, while China is the world’s largest toy production base. According to the data provided by Guangdong Toy Association, in 2017, 28.8% of China’s toys were exported to the United States, and 80% of the products in the American toy market were made in China.

　　Zhou Shijian, a senior researcher at the China-US Relations Research Center in Tsinghua University, said that the $200 billion of Chinese-made consumer goods accounted for too much, and the substitutability was very limited. If the tax is really increased, most consumers in the United States can immediately feel that "as soon as it is announced, the prices of consumer goods in the United States will rise."

　　The report on the British Science News website quoted Rick Helfenbein, president of the American Federation of Clothing, Footwear and Socks, as saying that Trump imposed tariffs on China products imported from the United States, which led China to impose retaliatory tariffs on goods exported from the United States, which was equivalent to imposing a huge Trump tax on American workers, consumers and the American economy.

　　Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize winner and a professor at Columbia University, also believes that Trump’s move to start a full-scale trade war with China will lead to "tax everywhere", and the substantially increased costs will be borne by ordinary people, and the poorest class in the United States will suffer the heaviest blow.

　　"These punitive tariffs will be passed on to American consumers and offset all the positive achievements made by the American economy in recent months. There is no better example of hurting yourself in order to vent your anger. " Matthew Shea, CEO of the National Retail Federation, said.

　　Reduce the deficit

　　Can it make America more prosperous?

　　Reducing the US trade deficit is one of Trump’s promises, which is also an important reason for the Trump administration to provoke a trade war.

　　Chen Chenchen, a researcher at Chongyang Financial Research Institute of Renmin University of China and deputy director of the Macro Research Department, pointed out that since Trump took office, he has never given up his deep-rooted policy stance since the 1980s — — By grasping the bottom line of the transaction and shrewd negotiation, we will get back all the jobs, industries, market opportunities and trade benefits that belong to the United States. He wants to replace rules with absolute interests and global considerations with absolute American priority. The "fair trade" that Trump wants to achieve most is the lowest-level trade with the greatest American interests as the core. Compared with the previous US government, it is the "zero-sum experience" in the business world that dominates the trade policy thinking at the core of American power.

　　However, almost all analysts believe that it is impossible for him to honor this promise.

　　According to the latest data from the US Department of Commerce, in June, the US trade deficit reached US$ 46.3 billion, a sharp increase of 7.3% over the previous month and the first expansion in four months. Moreover, this deficit data is also the largest data in 19 months. In other words, the current US trade deficit is even higher than when Trump came to power, and it has reached the highest level.

　　I don’t know if Trump will feel a little embarrassed. However, neither the media nor experts are surprised.

　　The Washington post website reported that economists thought it was wrong for Trump to focus on reducing the trade deficit. The only way to really reduce the trade deficit is to let Americans buy less. They believe that Americans have not "suffered" in trade: Americans get cheaper goods from abroad, and most of the dollars flowing to other countries return to the United States in the form of foreign investment or the purchase of American bonds. They stressed that the Trump administration’s tax increase on China products is unlikely to reduce the trade deficit, because Americans will still buy all these goods with tax increase, so enterprises may adopt two solutions: one is to buy goods with tax increase, and the other is to buy from other countries.

　　Kimberly Ann Elliott, a visiting researcher at the Center for Global Development in the United States, pointed out in an article published on the American World Political Review website that Trump did not seem to understand three basic facts about trade policy: first, trade policy could not defeat a wide range of macroeconomic forces; Secondly, the main impact of trade policy is to re-layout the economy; Third, trade policy is far more complicated today than in the past.

　　Lawrence summers, a professor at Harvard University and former Treasury Secretary, wrote an article for the Financial Times website, which also believed that Trump put offensive trade policy at the core of economic governance, which was problematic. Most economists agree that the adjustment of trade policy is unlikely to play a significant role in promoting employment or GDP growth, and loosening trade can promote the prosperity of the United States more than manipulating trade.

　　Can America be great again?

　　"Let America be great again!" This is Trump’s campaign slogan and Trump’s ultimate goal. However, so far, the various practices of the Trump administration have caused widespread doubts.

　　"Trump is depriving the United States of what makes it great." The title of Washington post’s article is simple and direct. The article points out that after World War II, the foundation of American prosperity is the scientific and technological breakthrough promoted by a powerful innovation system. The innovation policy of the United States has been successfully imitated in Europe and Asia, and it has also been imitated by China in recent years. Now, Trump has launched a trade war with China, with the purpose of slowing down the rise of China’s science and technology, but in fact, he has gone astray and is doomed to failure. Instead, the United States should do what it does best — — Innovate at home and trade with other countries in the world, so as to keep America prosperous.

　　Washington post columnist Robert samuelson recently published an article on the website of Japan Times, which also pointed out that Trump’s campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" brought an illusion that we can still achieve prosperity by pursuing isolationism. The United States was once "great", but it was achieved by actively participating in international affairs through military alliances and trade policies.

　　Once upon a time, the United States was a well-deserved leader of the western world. However, nowadays, the mentality of Western allies towards the United States may only be described as "bitterness".

　　At the end of July, an international conference against the Trump administration’s trade war was held in Geneva, Switzerland. The participants were all the closest allies of the United States: Japan, South Korea, Canada, Mexico and European Union countries. The reason why these countries are rallying to "resist the United States" is because the investigation on whether imported cars and parts threaten the national security of the United States, which began in May this year, may be completed in August, and the White House is likely to impose a 25% punitive tariff on all imported cars and parts. The German financial network stressed that the message of the Geneva gathering was the EU’s "distrust of Trump’s commitment". German newspaper frankfurter allgemeine zeitung commented that Trump wants to destroy the world order, so what? Countries will unite to protect international organizations and international rules.

　　Former US Deputy Secretary of State richard armitage wrote in the Japanese Yomiuri Shimbun that Trump publicly claimed to make a deal without showing his cards to others. This technique may be effective in business, but it won’t work in diplomacy. Most foreign relations of the United States have been weakened by Trump’s obvious lack of credibility diplomacy, and allies’ trust in American leadership is declining.

　　Washington post’s website article bluntly pointed out that Trump values his pride, his demand for attention, and his ability to create disasters — — If he needs to give a heavy blow to the western alliance to convince himself that he is smarter than all his predecessors, then he will not hesitate to do so.

　　Chen Chenchen, a researcher at Chongyang Financial Research Institute of Renmin University of China and deputy director of the Macro Research Department, pointed out that in Trump’s policy thinking, allies who "take advantage of the United States" are not trustworthy. Only through shrewd foreign policy negotiations, including taxation of allied products, will they "have excellent allies again".

　　America’s image has been damaged. The article on the website of the Brookings Institution in the United States directly calls the United States "a rogue superpower" and "actively, powerfully and thoroughly seeks its own interests".

　　Threaten and blackmail

　　Can America be a winner?

　　"The trade war is very simple. Winning is easy. " This is Trump’s judgment.

　　"Trump believes that trade is a ‘ Zero-sum game ’ . He believes in trade wars ‘ It’s easy to win ’ . He launched a trade war against many countries in order to force them to sit at the negotiating table. " Washington post website reported that.

　　According to this logic, the Trump administration recently played a "combination boxing". The National Defense Budget Act of 2019 just passed by the US Congress directly positions China as a long-term strategic opponent; The Trump administration ordered the US Department of Commerce to put 44 China enterprises and institutions on the export restriction list for technical blockade on the grounds of "significant risks to US national security"; The Trump administration also threatened to impose a 25% import tariff on China’s 200 billion products.

　　However, not many people believe that the United States can easily win the trade war.

　　The CNN report quoted Phil Levy, an expert of Chicago Global Affairs Committee, as saying that raising the tax rate on goods from China is consistent with the President’s strategy of continuously putting pressure on China. There seems to be a feeling among members of the Trump administration that as long as you hit China hard enough, China will give in. However, Levy said, "There is no evidence to prove this."

　　Martin wolf, chief economic commentator of the Financial Times, pointed out that the adoption of "Section 301" by the United States against China sometimes seems to be aimed at forcing China to eliminate its trade surplus with the United States, sometimes seems to be aimed at preventing the "Made in China 2025" plan, and sometimes seems to be aimed at correcting China’s compulsory technology transfer. The first goal is ridiculous, the second goal is not negotiable, and the third goal is difficult to achieve.

　　The Australian Sydney Morning Herald website article believes that in the economic war between the United States and China, Trump adopted the ancient weapon of the 17th century mercantilist era — — Tariffs, and China took out the weapons of the 21st century — — Renminbi. China’s choice of weapons is more powerful, because China’s investment activities around the world are huge and growing rapidly, which is warmly welcomed by people.

　　Jeffrey Sachs, an American economics professor, and a group of enlightened American scholars he represents believe that the United States’ efforts to curb the rise of China and the development of science and technology by means of blocking trade wars are "doomed to failure".

　　The American media believe that the Trump administration may have used Nixon’s "madman theory". It means that opponents are cautious because they suspect that the president of the United States is unpredictable, occasionally reckless and possibly as dangerous as madness. However, the article on Washington post’s website starts with "‘ Madman theory ’ It will not help Trump win the trade war. It is pointed out that it is good for both China and the United States to retreat from the edge of the trade war. However, this requires cooperation rather than conflict between the two sides. The self-righteous "madman theory" needs to give way to a calmer head.

　　Our reporter Zhang Hong

CCTV News:April 8th is the International Day for the Protection of Rare Animals. We walked into Jiangcheng County, Pu ‘er, Yunnan Province, one of the habitats of Asian elephants, to see the activities of local Asian elephants.

Early in the morning, the reporter followed the Asian elephant monitoring team to the Manlao River in Dashujiao Village, Kangping Town, Jiangcheng County. According to the staff, there were 42 wild Asian elephants in this area recently.

In view of the shortage of food for elephants in winter, corn, sugar cane, bananas, etc. are specially planted in some specific areas for elephants to eat. These places are also called "elephant canteens". However, at this time, corn and sugarcane have just entered the cultivation period, and there is relatively little food in the wild, which leads to more frequent activities of elephants entering the village and is prone to injury accidents. Therefore, the local people deliberately artificially feed at the entrance of some villages.

In addition to feeding the Asian elephants well, the daily focus of the staff is to monitor the range of activities of the Asian elephants.After locating the elephant activity area, the staff immediately controlled the roads along the way and placed warning signs. At the same time, they issued early warnings through WeChat group, monitoring and early warning platform and village broadcasting, and tracked the monitoring activities with drones.

Yunnan Shuangbai: Photographers shot a lot of rare green peacock videos.

Green peacock is a national first-class protected wild animal, mainly distributed in Yunnan Province and some Southeast Asian countries. At present, the number in China is only between 550 and 600. Green peacocks are timid and difficult to approach, so there are few related videos except a few pictures taken by infrared cameras. Recently, photographers have been crouching for 6 days, shooting a large number of green peacock videos with a 360-degree panorama camera.

In the picture, these green peacocks are foraging by the river bed. It’s the breeding season of green peacocks. During the period of crouching, the photographer photographed that these green peacocks sometimes play, sometimes take a sand bath in the river valley, and sometimes unfold a long tail screen.

Gu Bojian, a teacher at the School of Ecological Environment of Ningxia University: "There are both adult birds and adult birds in the picture. The male green peacock of an adult bird has a shorter tail screen than that of an adult bird. This season is the breeding season for green peacocks. The males have long tail screens, and the feathers in other parts of their bodies are also the most glamorous. Green peacocks can get rid of parasites and keep their feathers bright through sand bath. "

According to experts, this group of green peacocks in front of us was photographed by the infrared camera of the Management and Protection Bureau of Dinosaur River State Nature Reserve in May last year. At that time, they were still chicks with gray-black feathers. After nearly a year, these green peacocks have grown bright feathers and long tail screens.

Wang Sibeng, Director of the Management and Protection Bureau of Dinosaur River State Nature Reserve in Shuangbai County: "As the only original peacock population in China, there are about 550— 600, all distributed in Yunnan Province. According to the monitoring data of the nature reserve, there are about 360 native green peacocks in Shuangbai County, accounting for more than half of the national population. "

1905 movie network news After the baptism of the first weekend, several new films last week gave their own box office answers. Among them, directed by Shree Narayan Singh, Indian films starring akshay kumar and Bhumi Pednekar not only won the box office title of the new film last week, but also became the word-of-mouth king of the new film last week. Some netizens sighed after watching the movie: "It is very touching for the hero to fight against the world for love. It is necessary to bring her husband to see it again!"

　

The unimaginable status difference between men and women in the adaptation of real events

Indian movies focus on social reality every time. This time, they focus on the issue of "going to the toilet in the wild" and show the extreme differences between men and women through the tradition of "going to the toilet in the wild" in rural India. The film "Toilet Hero" tells the story of the bride Jaye (Bhumi Pednekar) who married Keshav (akshay kumar) and found that there was no toilet at home and insisted on divorce, which finally set off a women’s toilet revolution. It is understood that there are generally no toilets in rural India, and women must go to the fields to go to the toilet together at 3 or 4 in the morning. It is very difficult to be convenient during the day. Therefore, many Indian girls insist on not drinking water for a whole day in the process of going to school, and many girls choose to drop out of school because there is no improved toilet in the school.

The film is based on a real social news that happened under the tradition of "going to the toilet in the open air" in India. After getting married, the Indian bride Anita Nally found that there was no toilet at home and could not bear the torture of going to the toilet in the open air. She left her husband’s house on the fourth day after marriage and bravely said that she would not go back if her husband did not build a toilet. Many netizens lamented the social status of Indian women: "It’s hard to imagine that living on the same earth, and the aqua privies that we dislike are the privacy space that Indian women dream of. I have to say that the status of Indian men and women is really extreme."

　

Quite a dark horse potential may become the next annual explosion.　

"Divorce without a toilet" is not a case. Haryana, a state in northern India, even launched a campaign of "No toilet, no I will", urging women to refuse suitors who cannot provide a house with a bathroom. The creative team of "Toilet Hero" also revealed: "The plot in the film is very similar to the actual situation in some parts of India. Before the filming, we not only visited the prototype characters of the story, but also communicated with many other people who had similar experiences and even learned about the opposition’s ideas. "

In the stills exposed today, the heroine Bhumi Pednekar took a photo with the prototype in front of the toilet, showing the idea of "showing the social status of Indian women through films", and the creative team also said: "I hope the film will awaken men’s determination to consider women." Mainland audiences lamented that the film was "a film that dared to throw stones in a pool of stagnant water and make ripples." There are also fans who praise "Toilet Hero" for its dark horse potential: "A very surprising film. The theme of’ Toilet’ seems very small, but it is full of dignity. It is estimated that this film will become the annual explosion in the imported film."

　　Grandpa’s tea has a taste called home.

　　Lu Yu’s tea is said to be neither famous nor profitable.

　　Grandpa’s tea tastes good.

　　Lu Yu’s tea is like a splash-ink landscape painting.

　　The sandstorm of the Tang dynasty for thousands of years is still blowing.

　　— — Vincent fang and Jay Chou’s Tea Made by Grandpa (Excerpt)

　　When I was young, I listened to "Grandpa’s Tea" sung in the streets and lanes, so I liked to sip the jasmine tea that Grandpa had just brewed. In the sweet tea fragrance, I guessed the appearance of Lu Yu thousands of years ago and wondered whether the landscape-like Tang tea was as elegant and free as him. Until today, I saw a seemingly unremarkable model of white porcelain tea set in the "Ancient China" exhibition hall of China National Museum, and finally understood Lu Yu’s unique, lofty and carefree elegance.

　　White porcelain tea set and Lu Yu statue

　　Five Dynasties (907-— 960)

　　It was unearthed in Tangxian County, Hebei Province.

　　Collected by China National Museum.

　　At present, this set of tea sets is rich in categories, including an air-stove tea pot for boiling tea, a tea mortar for grinding tea powder, a slag bucket for holding tea residue and a tea bottle for ordering tea, and a white porcelain portrait with a long scroll in hand. If you look at it carefully and listen to it, you will find that every little thing seems to be telling the story of tea.

　　Since Lu Yu was born in the world, the world has learned from each other.

　　— — Song Mei Yaochen

　　This set of tea sets is mostly used for decocting tea in Tang Dynasty. What is interesting is this white porcelain portrait. Who is the portrait and why is it put with the tea set? Scholars began to speculate.

　　It is recorded in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Biography of Hermitage: "When you drink tea, you will be worshipped as a tea god when you are in the shape of Tao Yu." It turned out that because of the far-reaching influence of the Book of Tea written by Lu Yu, since the late Tang Dynasty, tea sellers have regarded Lu Yu as a sacrifice to the tea god and also offered a small statue to put in a tea stall. At that time, whenever tea ware was bought to a certain amount, the store would give away a statue of Lu Yu, which was similar to the means of sales promotion of today’s merchants. This figurine was unearthed together with this tea set model, so it is supposed to be Lu Yu, the tea god with the Tea Classic.

　　▲ Lu Yu porcelain statue.

　　Although the tea culture in China has a long history, according to the literature records, early tea may have been used as a food. As a special beverage, it should be no later than the Western Han Dynasty. By the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, tea had once become a luxury drink, which was a symbol of scholar-officials boasting of simplicity.

　　After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, tea became more popular, from the royal family down to the common people, all loved tea, and tasting and discussing tea became a fashion. However, it was not until Lu Yu wrote Tea Classic that tea culture was systematically combed and written. Lu Yu was fascinated by tea art, carefully studied the experience of predecessors in making tea, and constantly summed up the practice, creating a book "Tea Classics".

　　▲ Lu Yu’s "Tea Classic" book shadow.

　　The Book of Tea is divided into three volumes and ten sections, which systematically summarizes the knowledge of the origin, production, utensils and other aspects of tea at that time, setting a precedent for Chinese tea art. With the rapid popularization of the Book of Tea, Chinese people are paying more and more attention to the taste of tea itself, which is more elegant, more exquisite and more ceremonial. The appearance of Tea Classic promoted the prevalence of tea ceremony in Tang and Song Dynasties, and influenced every aspect of politics, economy, culture and life in Tang Dynasty and later generations, becoming one of the three largest tea books in the world.

　　As soon as the fragrant spring is combined with milk, it is fried to make the beads boil.

　　— — Don Pi Rixiu

　　The way of drinking tea in Tang Dynasty was different from today. Instead of soaking, it was boiled. When drinking tea, first crush the tea cake into tea powder, boil the water from the pot and always pay attention to the boiling degree of the water. When it boils, it will be "seasoned with salt". When it boils, a bowl of water will be filled out, and the tea powder will be put into the pot for boiling. When it boils again, it will be poured back into the pot to "cultivate its beauty". When the tea soup is cooked, share it with everyone and drink it while it is hot. If you want to cook a good pot of tea, it is necessary to have an air furnace and a tea pot. The first words in The Four Instruments of Tea Classic show their importance.

　　▲ "Xiao Yi Earns Lanting Map" (partial) was passed on to Yan Liben in Tang Dynasty.

　　Tea drinking in the Tang Dynasty is elegant, and the temperature of boiling water is quite particular. "The Five Boils of Tea Classics" said: "It boils like a fish’s eye, with a slight sound as one boiling, and the edge of it is like a spring and beads as two boiling, and the waves are three boiling." There are also many descriptions of boiling water in Tang poems, such as "rabbit hair is light and fragrant, and shrimp eye soup is fine and full of waves" (Lv Yan’s Dayun Temple Tea Poetry); Another example is "a fragrant spring with milk, fried and boiled." When you look at the crab’s eyes splashing, you can see the scales rising at first sight "(Pi Rixiu’s" Tea in Tea "). "Shrimp’s Eye", "Crab’s Eye", "Fishes" and "Spring and Beads" describe the appearance of bubbles rising from small to large in the water before boiling, and the water is already boiling when the waves are surging. The vivid description is not as accurate as the thermometer-type numerical expression today, but it is full of vivid poetry and meaningful aftertaste.

　　The words "Zuo ce makes the house tea storehouse" are engraved in the saucer foot.

　　When I woke up at noon, I only felt the silence of the earth, and the sound of a cup of tea when the new tea was smashed in the bamboo grove.

　　— — Tang Liu Zongyuan

　　The tea mortar in the tea set is shallow and has no glaze on the inner wall, so it should be used for grinding tea powder. In the Tang Dynasty, tea cakes must be crushed into tea powder before they can be decocted in water. Therefore, grinding tools such as mortar, grinding and grinding are essential. Liu Zongyuan, who loves tea, also wrote "Shan Tong knocks on the tea mortar across the bamboo" in My Occasional Works in Summer and Day.

　　▲ Tang Dynasty Yue Kiln Celadon Teapot.

　　In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the tradition of making tea with tea powder in the Tang Dynasty was continued, and images such as tea mortar were common in poems and murals in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. After the tea-boiling method rose in Ming and Qing dynasties, tea no longer needed grinding and drinking, and the tea mortar slowly withdrew. However, today, many places still retain the tradition of tea smashing, and we can still see the figure of tea mortar in the tools of tea smashing.

　　▲ Gannan Hakka tea.

　　The more common tea grinding tool is the tea mill. "The Four Instruments of Tea Classics" says that "the grinding trough is best made of orange wood, followed by pear wood, Sang Mu, tung wood and zhe wood." Recently, many ceramic tea mills have been discovered in archaeology. It can be seen that in the Tang Dynasty, tea ceremony flourished, and tea mills made of ceramics, wood and stone were more convenient to use and spread.

　　In 1987, the discovery of the underground palace of the Tangta in Famen Temple made the royal treasure that had been treasured for more than 1000 years reappear in the world. A complete set of Tang Dynasty court tea set was unearthed in the underground palace, which is the earliest, highest grade and most complete court tea set known today. In the underground palace, the "Monument to the Clothing Account of the Gifted Props and Gifts of the Real Person" was also unearthed, which recorded in detail the names and other information of the objects to be worshipped, among which there was a set of exquisite grinding tools: the gold-plated flower silver enamel shaft and the gold-plated Hongyan tattooed silver tea trough. The shaft and the tea trough are used in a complete set, and the usage is similar to that of grinding herbs with traditional Chinese medicine today. The shaft is covered with gold-plated flowers and the silver-plated tea trough is covered with gold-plated Hongyan, which is magnificent and represents the highest level at that time.

　　The fire in the soup bottle speaks for itself, and the wine lamp is the first to make spring.

　　— — Song Yang Wanli

　　Tea bottles, also known as soup bottles, are used for heating or holding hot water. Tea bottles are generally short-flowing, and may be mixed with holding pots for pouring warm wine at first, and then slowly separated from wine utensils. A porcelain vase unearthed in Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province in the third year of Taihe in the Tang Dynasty (AD 829) was similar in shape to a pot-holding one, with an ink book at the bottom.

　　The words "home tea club bottle" show that at the latest in the middle Tang Dynasty, this kind of holding pot has been used as the exclusive tea bottle for tea sets.

　　Tea bottles were generally not needed when frying tea in the Tang Dynasty, and there was no relevant record in Tea Classic, but it was an indispensable part of tea ordering in the late Tang Dynasty. When ordering tea, first boil water in a bottle, put the tea powder in a bowl, then hold the bottle and pour water into the bowl to make tea, and then blow it properly.

　　Lushan kiln snow ash glaze soup bottle

　　Tang (618— 907)

　　Collected by China National Museum.

　　The process of tea-ordering and water injection is somewhat similar to that of hand-brewing coffee today. When water is injected, it is necessary to control both the water flow speed and the water quantity, and the amount and weight of each water injection are particular. It turned out that the flow of holding the pot was short, and the water quantity and speed were difficult to control, so it was difficult to meet the demand. So the flow began to lengthen slowly, and the volume of the tea bottle gradually decreased, making it lighter and easier to order.

　　According to Mr. Sun Ji’s textual research, the white porcelain tea set and Lu Yu statue in the National Museum of China, the tea bottle and the tea pot came out together, "showing that it was in the period of alternating frying tea and ordering tea". A small tea set, not only let us appreciate the elegant demeanour of fried tea in Tang Dynasty, but also get a glimpse of the rise of tea and feel the continuous development and evolution of China tea culture.

　　Poetry is not tired of pounding fragrant teas, and it is appropriate to listen to elegant plays on the spur of the moment.

　　— — Japan’s Emperor Xie ‘e

　　1500 years ago, with the spread of Chinese culture, tea culture gradually went to the world. In the Tang Dynasty, Japanese monks Zuichi, Konghai and others sailed across the sea, came to China to study culture, and brought China’s tea drinking method and tea seeds back to Japan.

　　Emperor Emei (Hong Ren, year 810-824) admired Chinese culture and loved tea. He not only ordered the planting of tea trees, but also left a poem "Never tire of pounding fragrant teas when reciting poems, but should listen to elegant plays on the spur of the moment". Under the vigorous promotion of Emperor Xie, there appeared a trend of imitating Chinese’s tea tasting among Japanese aristocrats, and later generations called it "Hong Ren Tea Style" because of its year number "Hong Ren". During the Silla period in North China, tea culture was imported in an all-round way, and tea was spread and developed from the upper class, monks and scribes to the people, and tea was planted and made. Tea culture has thus developed into a distinctive feature of East Asian culture.

　　"Liu Yu bubble tea, I heard that fame and fortune don’t take, he took a thin horse in the end of the world. The sandstorm of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years is still blowing. " In fact, it’s not only the wind and sand that has crossed the Millennium, but also the fragrant tea that Chinese is attached to. Chinese loves tea, its elegant and mellow character, the lingering aftertaste and the lingering smell of home. As Mr. Lin Yutang once wrote, "As long as there is a teapot, Chinese is happy everywhere."

The "Basic Law of Genius" ended, and only the world of cheese Pei was reached.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. In the strawberry world, Lin Zhaori is an ordinary person who needs to be adjusted for postgraduate entrance examination. His father has Alzheimer’s disease, and his talented boyfriend once gave up mathematics and became a boxer.

In the cheese world, they all made a name for themselves. Lin Zhaosheng and Pei Zhi solved the problem of P=NP together. Lin took his younger brother’s flower roll to the entertainment circle and became a young and promising boss of a brokerage company.

Which world would you choose?

"The best part of all time-travel novels and time-travel dramas is to change the world with cheating." As a director, Shen Yan understands the cool point of the audience.

However, he also knows that the core of crossing is to cherish the present. Everyone is not as fragile as they think. After experiencing difficulties and setbacks, more people choose to face their lives like Lin Zhaori.

After the broadcast of the Basic Law of Genius, public opinion seems to have formed two worlds:

Some viewers think that the drama series "magic change" deviates from the theme and characters of the novel;

Another part of the audience was pleasantly surprised by the understanding and expression of truth and love in Mobius’ ring-like fantasy story.

Lin Zhaoxi’s journey has come to an end for the time being, and the adventures of domestic drama creators have just begun.

The director of "scum" became attached to mathematics.

More than ten years ago, Shen Yan was deeply moved by the film The Pursuit of Happyness. The down-and-out salesman staged a counterattack feeling of Jedi counterattack, which instantly hit Shen Yan, and the idea of making a Chinese-style The Pursuit of Happyness was born. The inspirational story presented in the novel The Basic Law of Genius brought the possibility of Shen Yan’s conception to the ground.

Niu Jixin, the chief producer, expressed his intention to adapt the novel after reading it for a few days. Niu Jixin told me, "Although we couldn’t imagine what the Basic Law of Genius would be made at that time, according to our screening criteria, we are more concerned about the novelty of the project, the professional ability of the creative staff, and the understanding and insight of the audience. These are the selection factors closer to success."

The novel of "The Basic Law of Genius" has a large number of books. The creative team wants to adapt such a work that combines elements such as crossing, parallel time and space, mathematics and suspense. The difficulty can be imagined. If there is a little magic change, it will be easily spit out. Shen Yan is very aware of the risks. "I don’t have a CP combination with screenwriter Nie Chengshuai," Nie Shenzhong is guilty "(laughs).

Lin Zhaori and Ji Jiang’s double crossing is the first step made by the main creative team. Shen Yan thinks that double crossing is opportunistic, which can not only avoid Lin Zhaori’s difficulty in communicating with people in the cheese world, but also pave the way for the relationship between the characters behind.

In addition to adaptation, actors will also re-create their lines during filming, and improvisation is also the best part of creation.

The most impressive fragment of Shen Yan is that Lin Zhaoxi and Hua Juan feel that they can’t go back anymore and want to be brothers and sisters. Hua Juan’s face is full of words, "Why can’t I be your brother?" Lin stared at him in the morning and evening. "Look at your height." Hua Juan replied without weakness, "Look at the size of your strawberry world."

Seeing the ingenuity of these little actors, Shen Yan laughed at the monitor. A 9-year-old child could say such precise words in the characters.

When balancing various elements, Shen Yan put family ties in the first place, followed by love, and finally mathematics. The affection between father and son and father and daughter shown in the Basic Law of Genius is Shen Yan’s obsession. "As a father, I want to have a dialogue with my children through this drama."

Speaking of which, Shen Yan choked instantly and calmed down for a while before continuing to talk to you. As the creator of many national emotional dramas, Shen Yan is very good at dealing with subtle emotions between people, thinking that he is a particularly emotional person.

There is such a fragment in the play. Lin told Lin Zhaosheng the story of a fox in the morning and evening. Once upon a time, there was a little fox and his father lived alone. One day, his father was ill. At this time, the little fox shuttled to the parallel world and met his healthy father. How should the little fox choose?

Lao Lin told Lin Zhaori, "People have to face up to their own difficulties. Isn’t the parallel world a bit evasive?"

But Pei Zhi, a strawberry who lacks her father’s love, wants to stay in the cheese world and live with her father. After all, in the cheese world, my father can talk with him, fight with him, and support his mathematical ideal. The two emotions of attachment to family and giving up love hit strawberry Peizhi at the same time.

When they decided to return to the strawberry world, they had to hug and say goodbye to their respective fathers reluctantly, and the family ties were even more touching on the screen.

When talking about mathematics, Shen Yan made no secret of it. "I’m really a pure academic scum, and science is a mess. When we were filming, a math teacher joined the group, and I couldn’t solve many math problems in the play (laughs)."

However, after the basic law of genius was broadcast, Shen Yan’s daughter told him, "wake me up early tomorrow morning, and I want to study math." Friends also secretly believed in Shen Yan and wanted to enroll their children in the Olympic math class, which made Shen Yan feel gratified.

For Shen Yan, filming the Basic Law of Genius means doing something difficult and correct, but correctness is always relative. "The so-called correctness is based on the road of my co-creation with the screenwriter, and we need to follow our own ideas. If all aspects are considered, the play may not be done."

Two-way projection of genius and ordinary people

In the novel of the Basic Law of Genius, Pei Zhi is known as "Pei Shen" and is regarded as a god in everyone’s eyes.

However, the drama version of the Basic Law of Genius has pulled Pei Zhi off the altar and dragged him to the position of man. Shen Yan said frankly, "How can God write a film and television drama? Can you let the actors stand there forever like God without talking?"

The story of Pei’s refusal to go back in the cheese world is the deduction of Pei’s points by the creative team, which naturally offended many bookworms.

However, from the perspective of life, even if Pei is a genius, he will face the game of human nature and expose the weakness and dark side of human nature. "We have finally shaped an ordinary person."

Lin Zhaosheng, who is also a genius, has become an ordinary person, and the fate of suffering from Alzheimer’s disease may be embarrassing, but at this time, there seems to be no boundary between genius and ordinary people.

In Niu Jixin’s view, the idea of the Basic Law of Genius is to discuss genius and commonness from the incision of genius. "We don’t want to be a pure genius legend, but want to present the common life proposition of all people. The Basic Law of Genius is actually the basic law of life, how one should face life and how to make a choice."

In traditional film and television dramas, the talent’s personality is relatively solid and single, but the Basic Law of Genius has achieved a two-way perspective projection. While ordinary people look up to the genius, they show their own endeavor, while the genius is trapped in the situation of the small world and explores the break of the living space.

Pei zhi can make the paper into a hundred points in 10 minutes, which looks very open, but for himself, this is a normal part of life. Like everyone else, he needs to find his own life proposition. What makes Niu Jixin feel gratified is that many viewers deeply discuss the situation of genius through this drama, instead of simply labeling genius.

Although the protagonist of "The Basic Law of Genius" failed to get the anti-heaven skill of opening the golden finger, it brought a high sense of excitement to the audience in the process of leading ordinary children with average talent to win the championship. In the final analysis, all propositions in the strawberry world are discussions on social phenomena.

Most people in life are ordinary people, and their environment limits their vision, so there is no way to provide them with more choices. Whether it is sea tactics or burying their heads in endorsement, everything they do is admirable.

In this sense, the counterattack story presented in the Basic Law of Genius has brought psychological healing to this group, as Niu Jixin said: "No matter how the times change, the process of hard work is worthy of respect and recognition."

Whether studying mathematics or making movies and TV plays, everyone is working hard towards the goal they want to pursue. Aren’t these a part of ordinary people’s lives?

How to increase the Basic Law of Genius?

When revisiting the experience of the explosion of the Basic Law of Genius, Niu Jixin bluntly said: "Although this story type is more risky in the category of TV dramas, the first thing is to always seek novelty."

When observing the genre changes of TV series, Niu Jixin found a very interesting phenomenon. More themes in the market are the repeated regression of successful types. After a successful case appears, as long as it follows this path, the high probability will not be too bad.

However, if a certain drama reaches a certain height in subdivision type, it will form a basic disc, and it will be difficult for works to surpass it in a few years. If you want to create a new peak, innovation is inevitable.

In addition to innovation, incremental content in film and television works is equally important. In past interviews, Niu Jixin mentioned that the content layout strategy of the studio is half comedy and half incremental.

At that time, he just joined Iqiyi, and the platform has seen many explosions in the field of webcasting content and homemade content.

"My wish at that time was that my arrival would bring increments to the platform. However, this is an ideal setting. How to find increments is very challenging."

But hard work will pay off.

Since last year, Sesame Pod Studio has launched the Little Funny Theater, which covers such works as Washe Jianghu, Doctor is Doctor Two is Two, and Broken Elite. The genre involves themes such as ancient style and city, which broadens the comedy track.

The Basic Law of Genius and other works belong to the incremental content of the innovation track. In Niu Jixin’s view, the starting point of this drama is very anti-routine, and the key is to seek differences. Both the theme and narrative order are very different from the past dramas. "We adopted a brand-new story structure and did not rely on past experience, but walked out of the safety zone."

In the second half of this year, Niu Jixin’s Sesame Pod Studio intends to continue to promote the return of the iQiyi Little Funny Theater. At the same time, there is also a project in the field of ancient costumes, "Ning ‘an Dream", which will meet the audience soon, and the incremental part of the content will gradually become apparent with the advancement of the project.

In the last scene of the Basic Law of Genius, Lin Zhaoxi and Pei Zhi stood by the sea and decided to prove P=NP together. She said to Pei Zhi, "Persistent efforts, unremitting life, the end is there. Let’s just walk there." In fact, no matter in which world, facing life bravely is an eternal theme.

Original title: "The list of the top 100 banks in China was released in 2021, with 6 large banks and 20 rural commercial banks on the list".

Read the original text

According to CCTV news, on May 1st, CCTV News 1+1 column Bai Yansong interviewed Richard Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet, a top international medical journal, to discuss how to evaluate the experience of China and the United States in epidemic prevention and control, and how to treat the "conspiracy theory of virus origin" and "responsibility theory" that appear frequently.

Horton: In the face of an emergency, the China government decided to block Wuhan very decisively.

Bai Yansong: Today is a very important day in Chinese’s memory, because Wuhan was "closed" for 100 days due to the epidemic. What do you think of China’s decision after such a long time?

Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet: When faced with an emergency, the China government decided to blockade Wuhan very decisively. By blocking Wuhan, China can give the world time to deal with the epidemic. This is not only a correct decision, but also shows other countries how to deal with the urgent threat of the epidemic. So I think we should thank China for his efforts in fighting the epidemic in Wuhan.

Horton responded to the conspiracy theory of virus origin: some false information is terrible.

Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet: On one level, many of these statements are ridiculous, but we should also pay attention to them. There is a study on false information in the European Union, and some of the false information is terrible. For example, some people say that vaccination in the future is dangerous, or that the epidemic is concocted by the media, or that the virus will not pose a threat to people. So we should pay attention to these rumors and prove them wrong. Unfortunately, in some media reports, this rumor spreads like a virus and affects people, causing harm to people. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent and control the spread of the virus and also break the rumors.

Horton: Looking for patient zero is not very meaningful.

Horton, editor-in-chief of The Lancet: I don’t think it’s very meaningful to look for patient zero. For example, when AIDS broke out in the 1980s, many people wanted to find patient zero, who was the super-disseminator of the virus in the United States, and spent a lot of energy looking for patient zero. At that time, people thought they had found patient zero, who was widely discussed after being exposed by the media, but many years later it was found that this person was not patient zero. Therefore, finding this person who has spread the virus may cause many problems, such as causing stigma and discrimination against him, which will not play any role and is certainly unscientific. But we really need to know the origin of this virus and where it comes from. This virus is likely to spread from an animal host to humans. We need to understand the process of virus transmission between animals, and how the virus from animals spreads to humans, and also avoid the spread of this virus from animals to humans. The goal now is to understand where the virus produced in animals comes from and reduce the risk of virus spreading from animals to humans.

Horton: Many countries have not paid attention to WHO early warning.

Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet: This is one of the unsolved mysteries in the process of epidemic spread. On January 30th, the World Health Organization defined this epidemic as an international public health emergency, which was a warning to the world to remind the world to pay attention to the epidemic. Dr. Tan Desai mentioned the spread of this virus, so please get ready. The early warning mechanism of international public health emergencies is an innovative mechanism, which was established in 2005. It was caused by the outbreak of SARS in 2002-2003. After the outbreak of SARS, the world paid more attention to the impact of the epidemic, so the early warning mechanism was introduced. The World Health Organization is the most important authoritative organization in the field of global health, and we need to pay attention to its warning. Unfortunately, many countries did not pay attention to early warning, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths, which could have been avoided.

Horton: It is useless and untrue to accuse China of being the source of communication.

Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet: Unfortunately, we have heard that some people are accusing China of being the source of the epidemic. In fact, the accusation is useless and untrue. What we really need to do is to calm down and cooperate with the China government to understand the epidemic and do our best to ensure that the epidemic will not come back. China himself did not want to see the outbreak of the epidemic, nor should he be responsible for it. But things have happened. The doctors and scientists I know in China have made the most outstanding contributions. They have given advice to the government, treated patients and protected the lives of China citizens. So I think China should be very proud, because China has excellent scientific research and medical staff. Some world political leaders criticized China, which is unfair and wrong in fact. We should thank the doctors and scientists in China who fought the epidemic.

Horton: Dividing countries and people cannot effectively deal with the epidemic.

Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet: I greatly appreciate the scientific and medical development level in the United States. Their doctors and scientists have done a very good job in responding to the epidemic, such as Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Deborah Beukes, who are all outstanding researchers. What disappoints me is American politicians. For example, they advocate conspiracy theories, or support some treatments without clear evidence. They also openly criticize other countries, such as the United States criticizing China, or criticizing some organizations, such as the World Health Organization. This practice is useless. What we should do is to strengthen cooperation to deal with the challenges brought by the epidemic. Dividing countries and people cannot effectively deal with this threat facing all mankind.　

Horton talks about shelter hospital: a very important innovative measure for China to successfully deal with the epidemic.

Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet: Fangcang Hospital is one of the most important innovative measures to successfully deal with the epidemic in China. It is a very good innovative idea to establish temporary huge Fangcang Hospital in some existing buildings, where patients with mild illness can enter Fangcang Hospital, and someone will take care of them, and establish a triage system. If the illness gets worse, patients will be referred to other hospitals. First of all, it can protect other hospitals and prevent patients from flooding into these hospitals; Second, it can provide a space to deal with a large number of patients, and it can effectively isolate these patients in this shelter hospital and provide them with a safe space. I think this is a very important factor in China’s success in fighting the epidemic, and it is also an important experience that other countries in the world can learn.

Horton responded to the statement that "people should be anxious to save lives instead of publishing papers"

Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet: It’s not a matter of choice. In the past three months, doctors and scientists in China have actually taken care of both, summing up experience while saving lives on the front line. Their experiences published in scientific journals should not only be regarded as a paper in a journal, but a way to communicate with the world. Without the papers published by China from January until yesterday, we wouldn’t have a reliable knowledge base to better understand how to deal with the epidemic. Therefore, we are very grateful to the doctors and scientists in China for their papers published according to their own work, so that the world can get better information. This reflects China’s responsible attitude, that is, to become friends with other countries, to tell and share their own experiences and help other countries understand the seriousness of the epidemic. We must express our gratitude to the doctors and scientists in China. They can take the time to do these things, and China can talk about his ongoing work, which is a success in itself.

Horton: The discussion on the epidemic should not be interpreted as part of the geopolitical struggle of the country.

Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet: I regret that the discussion about this epidemic was finally interpreted as a part of the country’s geopolitical struggle. In fact, it should not be like this. COVID-19 is a threat to the health of all mankind, and we need to work together to deal with this threat. I don’t want to see accusations against the country, which is not beneficial to disease prevention and control, let alone promote peace and development, and accusations can’t stop the epidemic. On the contrary, we need to sit down and cooperate and trust each other, so as to solve the problems we face together. I am very sorry that some political leaders have made such criticisms, which is why I want to publicly thank my colleagues and friends from China for their contributions to medical work and medical science in China. They have done so much, and we need to formally say thank you. They should not be criticized, but should be thanked by us. This is the most important point I want to emphasize.

Horton: China should think about how to make medical research leaders more involved in international affairs.

Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet: In the past two decades, China has made huge investments in the fields of health care and science. However, in these international conferences around the world that I attended, I didn’t feel that there were enough China representatives in international conferences or activities. I hope to see more China scientists and medical leaders active on the world stage. China accounts for one fifth of the world’s population, but does China represent one fifth of the world’s important international activities, especially those that will have an impact on the future development direction of the world? Not really. Therefore, I think China leaders should think about how to make China’s medical and medical research leaders participate more in international affairs in the next stage. I hope to see some Chinese I know, I respect, I like and admire very much, and play a more important role in the world. I hope to hear more voices from China and China in international affairs and play a more important role on the world stage. I hope that one of the results of this epidemic is to make China have a stronger voice.

Horton: The only thing that can prevent the epidemic from rebounding is the vaccine.

Horton, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet: We know the situation in Wuhan now. The blockade lasted for about 10 weeks from January 23 to early April. At present, the spread of this virus in Wuhan has been completely eliminated, indicating that the first wave of epidemic will end after 10 weeks of blockade, and there may be a risk of epidemic rebound. The only thing that can prevent the epidemic from rebounding is vaccine, which can immunize everyone and protect everyone in the future. We must maintain some protective measures now, such as keeping the distance between people, paying attention to personal hygiene, washing hands frequently, and not pointing at others when coughing. Only in this way can we stop the epidemic from rebounding. In the next six to twelve months, we will probably have a vaccine developed, so at this time next year, we may start to inject this vaccine so that everyone can really be protected.
