Every summer, cartoons are naturally indispensable. Since the re-release of Miyazaki Hayao’s Spirited Away, there have been many animations released so far, such as Pet Secret 2, GG Bond’s Unbelievable World, Mobile Suit Gundam NT, Night of Destiny-Goblet 2, etc. Except for Spirited Away, most of them have no splash. However, it can be boldly predicted that after the domestic cartoon Ne Zha is released, it will definitely rewrite the layout of this year’s summer cartoon; Especially in the case that several blockbuster movies have been withdrawn, Ne Zha will do more.

Ne Zha poster. Nezha in the poster is a transformed Nezha, who is usually not so handsome.

Ne Zha has a good production team. The director is jiaozi, born in 1980s. Although he only directed two short films "The Boss’s Woman" and "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" before, 40,000 people scored 8.6 points in "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon". The main producer of the film, Caitiaowu Film, has also produced animation masterpieces such as Big Fish Begonia, Great Protector and Great World before.

On the announcement, Ne Zha also took the point-and-shoot strategy. On July 13th and 14th, it was only a small-scale film, and the word-of-mouth was more than that of Return of the Great Sage. The film quickly launched a larger-scale screening nationwide from July 17th to July 21st, and the good word-of-mouth continued to ferment. Many viewers believe that compared with The Return of the Great Sage and The White Snake: The Origin, Ne Zha has made a fundamental leap from text to audio-visual language.

Is this "rainbow fart"? Frankly speaking, after the trailer was released, many people were generally not optimistic about Ne Zha. There were many bad reviews on the douban, and they vowed to say, "If the bad film is booked, the box office will be forgotten." Because of Nezha’s painting style in the trailer-it’s really "ugly" (of course, it smells good afterwards). Even at the beginning of the film, the blinding modern light design and a strong "Trump" made people think that it was a bad film. But if you stick to it, your prejudice will be broken-and as it happens, this is also a theme of this movie.

Just looking at the forecast and materials, you will find Nezha very "ugly", although you will find him very "cute" after watching the movie.

As a classic figure in China’s ancient legends, Nezha has many film and television images. What kind of Nezha image did Ne Zha portray? Why does Ne Zha represent a step forward in domestic animation?

The Evolution of Nezha’s Image

Attentive viewers will find that from the first Asian animated feature film Princess Iron Fan (1941) born in China to White Snake: The Origin, which received rave reviews in early 2019, the development of Chinese cartoons has always drawn nutrition from ancient myths and legends in China, and "Westward Journey to the Universe", "Godly Universe" and "White Snake Universe" are important creative sources for the development of film and television dramas. This is actually consistent with Disney’s strategy of constantly remaking some classic fairy tales: fairy tales, myths, legends, etc. have a huge audience base, and both continuation and innovation can attract widespread attention.

Nezha is one of the most influential mythological images in China, and also one of the most common images in domestic cartoons. As soon as the prelude of "It’s him, it’s him, it’s him, our friend Nezha Jr." rings, it is estimated that more than half of the post-80s and post-90s will hum.

In 2003, the 52-episode animated film The Legend of Nezha influenced countless post-80s and post-90s. The theme song "Young Hero Little Nezha" has a high degree of nationality.

It is generally believed that Nezha, who is from Indian Buddhism and whose full name in Sanskrit is Naluo Jiupo or Naqijufalo, is the third prince of Vishamun King (it is also said that he is related to Vishamun King between grandparents and grandchildren). Nezha is a dharma protector in Indian Buddhism, belonging to the hag god system. His duty is to assist the Visha King in defending the dharma, eliminating evil and protecting the world. With the introduction of Buddhism into China, the oral legend of Nezha was introduced into China after the Han Dynasty.

The dharma protectors in Buddhism are generally ferocious, in order to highlight their hatred, bravery and strength. The same is true of Nezha, who has three heads and six arms. In Buddhist scriptures, "anger" is often used to describe Nezha’s personality. According to the tripitaka, Nezha’s "White Buddha’s Word" says, "I uphold Buddhism, and I want to capture and bind the wicked or have a bad heart. I guard the king’s ministers and Baiguanliao day and night. For those who kill Daling, we will wait for Nezha to stab them in the eye and heart with a golden staff. If you are a monk or nun, you will be beaten on the head with a diamond rod. "

So, how did Indian Buddhism come to Nezha to become a China figure? Scholars pointed out that Nezha’s image evolved with the evolution of Li Jing. Probably in the Southern Song Dynasty, the famous Li Jing of Sui and Tang Dynasties evolved into the King of Pishamen, and naturally, the son of the King of Pishamen became the son of Li Jing. This also created conditions for the further evolution of Nezha’s image.

Through two famous fantasy novels of Ming Dynasty, The Journey to the West and Romance of the Gods, Nezha was gradually shaped and deeply rooted in people’s hearts. In The Journey to the West, Nezha has been included in the Taoist immortal system. He has changed from a Buddhist god to the son of the heavenly commander of the Taoist Jade Emperor, King Tota, and is also an important god of war of the Jade Emperor. Nezha’s image in the novel is, "The little boy was born with a strange appearance and was very lean. The whole thing is: the jade face is as charming as a full moon, and the square mouth of the lips shows silver teeth. The eyes are bright and the beads are violent, and the forehead is wide and the hair is bun. Embroidery with dancing wind and colorful flames, brocade robe reflecting the sun and releasing golden flowers. Ring tapestry burning climbing mirror, Baojia Huihui lining combat boots. How magnificent it is to be quiet, and to protect Nezha for three days. " Here, Nezha is a lovely but angry child.

Li Jing and Nezha in the 86 edition of The Journey to the West, Nezha hand-held Gankun circle.

In the Romance of Gods, Nezha was further "Taoist". He is the spiritual bead of the Taoist founder Yuan Shi Tian Zun, reincarnated as the son of Li Men in Chentangguan, and helped Jiang Ziya destroy the Shang Dynasty and prosper the Zhou Dynasty in the next life. Nezha’s temperament became more and more "angry", he ignored authority, was unrestrained, and had a strong rebellious spirit. He called the Dragon King an "old loach", killed Li Gen, and drew the tendons of Ao Bing. Nezha is still with his parents because of filial piety. After the incarnation of lotus, his image is "two lotus flowers are now incarnated, and Lingzhu II is out of the dust. Portable purple flame snake spear treasure; Step on jinxia hot wheels. The leopard skin is safe in the world; The people are blessed in the red brocade. The sages of the past dynasties are the first, and the historians have written a thousand years. " He became the demon-subduer and the god of water-saving in the system.

After that, Nezha’s artistic image generally followed the setting of The Journey to the West and The Romance of the Gods. Whether Nezha played a supporting role, such as the cartoon "Make a scene in Heaven", The Journey to the West in 1986, or Nezha became the protagonist, such as the cartoon "What a scene" and "The Legend of Nezha", Nezha was mainly a child/teenager with a "angry" personality or cute and daring.

Nezha in the 1979 edition of What’s the Sea?

Nezha in Lotus Lantern Prequel is probably the cutest version of Nezha in the live-action version.

As for Nezha’s famous story of cutting meat and boning bones, there are also different interpretations, or as recorded in the novel The Journey to the West, "His father, the King of Heaven, was afraid of future troubles and wanted to kill Nezha" (resisting feudal patriarchy), or as recorded in The Romance of Gods, "One man acts as one man, and I kill Ao Bing, so I should pay for my life, and there is no reason why I have children to implicate my parents" (expressing filial piety and embodying the heroic spirit of self-sacrifice).

"the magic boy came to the world"

The cartoon Ne Zha is more influenced by the novel Romance of the Gods, but it only draws lessons from the basic relationship between characters, and the specific plot and personality of the characters have been greatly changed, with a high originality index.

The origin of the story is that the aura of heaven and earth gave birth to a "mixed bead" with great energy, and the mixed bead was refined into "spirit bead" and "magic pill" by the Buddha at the beginning, and the "spirit bead" was reincarnated as a human being, which was of great use; The "magic pill" will give birth to the devil, which is a disaster for the world. The Buddha of the Yuan Dynasty started the curse of Armageddon. Three years later, the thunder will come and destroy the magic pill. Real Taiyi, a disciple of the Buddha at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, was ordered to entrust the spirit bead to Nezha, the son of Li Jing in Chentangguan.

However, by mistake, Lingzhu and Magic Pill were switched, and Nezha, who was supposed to be the hero of Lingzhu, became the devil in troubled times … This created two strong suspense: Nezha, who was supposed to be the reincarnation of Lingzhu, became the reincarnation of Magic Pill. What should he do? Three years later, it was doomed by lightning. Can Nezha overcome fate?

Although he was reincarnated as a magic pill, Nezha was not born with great magic, and he was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, but prejudice destroyed him. There is also a scene in the movie: Nezha, who ran from home to the street for the first time, wanted to play shuttlecock with a little sister, but when people found him, they shouted in horror and several friends threw things at him. They thought that Nezha was a magic boy.

The people are full of prejudice against Nezha and are very resistant.

Nezha was ostracized, discriminated, hated and hurt by everyone. Even with his family, he just wanted to isolate him. Excavate asked that Nezha should not be allowed to leave the house; Even though his mother dotes on him, she can only sigh helplessly, "Maybe this is her life."

Nezha’s parents also chose to "accept their fate."

Is this really fate? Nezha was unhappy, dissatisfied and unhappy, but the heavy shackles of fate-or, more precisely, the exclusion of all the people around him-trapped him firmly. His choice was: OK, since you think I am a monster, I will honestly be a monster. He is mischievous, broken pots and broken falls, doing evil and causing trouble. From time to time, I have to go out and make trouble, so that Chen Tangguan can make trouble.

Therefore, when Nezha appeared, he gave the impression that he was a Xiong Haizi and a little devil. It is no wonder that the image created by the film looks ugly: short, with severe dark circles under his eyes, frustrated, and always pretending to be cool when walking.

Ne Zha’s script structure is a typical "three-act structure" in Hollywood, and the audience can completely predict the ending of the story: Nezha, who was regarded as a magic boy at first, will definitely become a prodigy to save all beings after several twists and turns (there are not many spoilers here). He shouted, "It’s up to me to say whether it’s a magic or a fairy", "My life is up to me" and "If my fate is unfair, I will fight him to the end". What magic pills are reincarnated as magic children and what can’t escape lightning in three years? Fuck you!

Nezha doesn’t believe in life.

If the film is just like this, maybe you won’t notice anything special about Nezha. After all, the themes of breaking the binary opposition between good and evil, resisting fate, and making my own destiny are not uncommon in Nezha-related film and television dramas, and the theme of many chicken soup movies is precisely this.

What’s so special about Nezha?

An unprecedented Nezha.

I think that Nezha in Ne Zha is unprecedented because the writers and directors have injected a tragic core into him-you think he is hot, fried and cool, but he is lonely, fragile and helpless inside; You think this is a winner’s story, but it is also a story of "ordinary people" and "losers". "Angry" Nezha has a soft heart like ordinary people.

It is not difficult for the audience to see the shadow of Stephen Chow’s comedy from Ne Zha, and director jiaozi once said that he is a fan of Stephen Chow. Not only are there some comic images (like a bearded rough man with a girlish voice in the movie), but also some comic scenes (funny shit and urine). More importantly, the image of Nezha also continues the core of Stephen Chow’s comedy-comedy is tragedy. Borrowing a summary of Stephen Chow’s films by film critic Mei Xuefeng, "At the core of Zhou Xingchi’s films, at the core of that tragedy, a lonely man lives in his heart with a simple child, who is ignored by the secular world and silently and ridiculously adheres to his ideals."

Many expressions of Nezha in the film are reminiscent of many movie images of Stephen Chow. Maybe there is some reference in animation modeling?

Just like Nezha in the movie sang, "I am a little monster, carefree and free, killing people without blinking, eating people without salt." Is he really free and easy? He is desperate for approval, desperate for it. So when he finally got his first friend, Ao Bing, he was extremely happy and cherished (Nezha and Ao Bing kicked shuttlecock at the seaside, and they all had the appreciate each other feeling of "I raised you" in king of comedy); So when Li Jing tricked him into being the reincarnation of Lingzhu, he immediately devoted himself to doing good, killing demons and removing demons …

Nezha and Ao Bing should have a batch of CP powder.

Just like the little people in Stephen Chow’s movies, they have a humble dream; But once the cold world rejected their dreams, they also chose to trample on themselves while the world trampled on them. So Nezha said, if you think I’m a monster, I’ll be a monster. His self-indulgence seems to abuse the people in Chentangguan, and it is also self-abuse.

His abuse and self-abuse reflect the coldness of the world, just as the dragon king said in the movie, "People’s prejudices are like a giant mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can’t move them." Or more profoundly, the cruelty comes from the hands of Yuan Shi Tian Zun, who represents the feudal authority-the focus of "being born as a demon, so what" is not the burning of "so what", but what makes you think that some people are "born as a demon"? Assuming that Nezha and Ao Bing didn’t save the people in Chentangguan, are they doomed to be demons and be spurned in prejudice?

"Born to be a demon, so what?" focuses on the first half or the second half, which means completely different.

Nezha in Ne Zha has a self-protection skill acquired in cruelty-each of us has developed this skill: pretending not to care, pretending to be free and easy, pretending to be indifferent, pretending to be unsociable, pretending to be a bad person … At the moment of life and death in the movie, Nezha told his family that today is my birthday party, and none of you are allowed to cry. This is a moment of tears. But this moment also reflects to some extent that Nezha is still habitually protecting himself in his heart: What if you don’t cry when I leave? Therefore, he can only "strike first" and make everyone stop crying.

The burning of Ne Zha’s "My life is up to me" will impress many people, but if we go deep into it, it hides another narrative: how a person who has been abandoned by the world’s indifference and is extremely eager to identify with himself carefully guards his inner innocence and how to humbly please and live in prejudice. This may be even more worrying.

This film is not a simple "mourning" that can be summarized. Behind the hippie smile, it has real cruelty and pain.

Learn the domestic animation of "telling stories"

Over the past few years, The Return of the Great Sage, The Big Fish Begonia and The White Snake: The Origin have all gained a lot of praise, but they also criticized the voice, mainly focusing on: the story is too weak.

In fact, domestic animation had a glorious moment. After the Shanghai Animation Film Studio was formally established in 1957, it opened the golden decade of domestic animation. There is even a saying of "China Animation School" in the world animation circle, which refers to "a batch of animation works with distinctive China characteristics that originated in 1950s, matured in 1960s and harvested in 1970s and 1980s". The most classic in the history of animation in China, Make a scene in Heaven, was also born at this stage.

After the twists and turns in 1970s and the short revival in 1980s, Chinese cartoons fell into a long recession after 1990s, and the domestic animation market was basically monopolized by Japanese cartoons and Hollywood cartoons. Until recent years, domestic cartoons slowly rose, with several excellent cartoons almost every year. However, compared with Japanese or Hollywood cartoons, domestic cartoons still have a big gap. The technical gap has been continuously eliminated, and the core gap still lies in the ability to "tell stories".

The story, first of all, is reflected in the most basic, you have to have a beginning and an end, be fluent, have content and stand up. Although Ne Zha continues the legend of Nezha, his originality is extremely high, which not only reshapes the relationship between Nezha and Li Jing, Ao Bing and others, but also makes the images of Li Jing, Ao Bing and Shen Gongbao full, three-dimensional and moving as never before. Ao Bing and Shen Gongbao are the other side of Nezha, but they face different cruel choices. Aobing and Li Jing in the movie should be able to circle a large number of fans.

Secondly, it is the level of imagination. The media form of animation determines that it can contain imagination to the maximum extent, not worrying about not being able to present imagination, but worrying that you have no imagination and make animation technology useless. Many details in Ne Zha, such as the shuttlecock, the map of mountains and rivers, and the three-dimensional pinball, such as the action design and visual presentation during fighting, can make the audience fully feel the flying and gorgeous imagination.

The movie animation design is exquisite and amazing.

The level of storytelling ability is ultimately reflected in the level of values. A good story is both universal and advanced. Just like the cartoon "Where is the Sea?", it was amazing. Under the background of that time, how shocking was it to cut the flesh and bone and return it to the father?

At present, the core competitiveness of Hollywood cartoons is that they are too good at telling stories. The audience of cartoons is suitable for all ages, and its stories can be eaten by all ages. Children see one meaning, while adults can see another meaning. For example, in Zootopia, the whimsical animal world can bring joy to children. At the same time, the film’s mapping of politics and power makes adults relish it.

Generally speaking, the storytelling ability of domestic cartoons is still relatively weak, either too young, or too much emphasis on the so-called "adult orientation" and lack of balance. In this context, Ne Zha may be regarded as a small step forward in domestic animation, which tells a story that is not difficult to understand, but also tells a story with depth.

"People’s prejudices are like a giant mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can’t move it." People also have many prejudices about domestic animation. Ne Zha will "move" the huge mountain of prejudice, which deserves our support by buying tickets.

　　"Chongqing Group was arrested successfully" and "Hubei Group was arrested successfully" … … In just over 20 minutes, seven arrest groups distributed all over the country ended their operations and all the suspects were arrested. This is a series of overseas mega-cross-border cyber fraud cases. By the time the case was cracked, the case involved more than 1,500 victims, involving more than 30 million yuan.

　　Since November last year, Yuzhong police have received many cases of using well-known social software and dating websites to impersonate "Gao Fushuai" to defraud divorced women. The suspect associates with the victim in the name of love, and after winning the favor of the other party, he tells the other party that he usually buys lottery tickets on the gambling website. If there are insiders, he can bet together. After the victim invests a lot of money, the suspect will suddenly disappear, thus successfully defrauding the victim. The modus operandi is commonly known as "killing pig plate". On July 26th, Yuzhong District Procuratorate approved the first batch of arrests of 15 suspects on suspicion of fraud.

　　Divorced women were cheated out of everything.

　　"I was cheated of 200,000 yuan for falling in love. In addition to borrowing money from friends, I also borrowed money from several microfinance platforms, and now I am selling my house to pay off my debts … …” At the beginning of this year, Chen Juan (pseudonym) called the police in Yuzhong, crying about what had happened to her.

　　Chen Juan told the police that she had a short marriage history and got divorced because of her incompatible personality. Seeing the sisters around me are in pairs, loving and sweet, and I want to make a boyfriend as soon as possible. At the end of November last year, she met a strange man Zhang on a dating platform. When Zhang learned about Chen Juan’s situation, he launched a love offensive against her. Little did he know that a scam was waiting for her.

　　Through WeChat contact, Zhang, who looks like a Hong Kong star, is handsome, considerate and talkative, and often asks her if she is caring and attentive, and soon gets the favor of Chen Juan. Zhang told Chen Juan that he was running a clothing factory, and he had more than 500 employees. His wife and unborn child died in a car accident a few years ago. Because he loved his wife very much, he never found it. Looking through Zhang’s circle of friends, Chen Juan found that he was driving a Maserati, living in a villa, going into high-end hotels in the city, belonging to a man with a successful career and heavy feelings. He was two years older than himself and was an ideal companion in this life. The two chatted with each other, and soon established a love relationship on WeChat, and called each other "husband" and "wife". When Chen Juan wanted to video several times, Zhang always refused on the grounds of being in a meeting and talking business with customers.

　　Chen Juan didn’t know that Zhang’s fraud on himself had officially started. Zhang told Chen Juan that an APP called Zhongying International could make money through "Beijing 28 Lottery" and "Eggs", and he had inside information and could operate loopholes in the website. Later, I recommended APP customer service to Chen Juan. After Chen Juan WeChat was added, Zhang said that she could make money with her. After watching Zhang make money, Chen Juan also moved. Subsequently, Zhang asked Chen Juanxian to recharge his bets on 1000 yuan, and soon earned more than 100 yuan. After two small cash withdrawals, Chen Juan was more convinced of Zhang. Persuaded by Zhang, Chen Juan transferred more than 200,000 yuan to the customer service’s five bank cards in December last year. Shortly after, the man and the customer service lost contact and the APP could not be opened. Chen Juan realized that he had been cheated and immediately called the police.

　　A hundred fraud gangs surfaced.

　　Coincidentally, when Chen Juan reported the case, Yuzhong police successively received many cases of fraud by the same means. Immediately, the communication network fraud brigade of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Yuzhong District Public Security Bureau quickly investigated the case. The police found that there were many similar cases in the country through the string analysis of the micro-signals involved and the telephone numbers involved, and the amount of fraud ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Fraudulent methods are to look for divorced or single women first, take love as a cover, tell the woman victim to buy lottery tickets on the gambling website after the feelings warm up, and have insider information to make "planning". In the past few times, she was given a small profit, and when she invested a lot of money to win money, she wanted to mention it now. APP customer service refused for various reasons, and then blacked out her WeChat and phone simultaneously.

　　Li Ling, deputy head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Yuzhong District Public Security Bureau, said that the case has the characteristics of large amount of money involved, many suspects involved, many victims, wide geographical area, novel criminal methods, non-contact and strong concealment. After more than five months of investigation and judgment, the police of the task force finally found out the suspect’s capital flow and WeChat login IP address, which all showed that the gang’s den was located in Laos, and the identity of the main suspect was clarified through various investigation methods. At the same time, the true identity of more than 100 other suspects in the den was also clarified, and the activity track and law were mastered. Through investigation, the police of the task force gradually sorted out the fraud group with the main suspects Liu (business supervisor), Fan (female, customer service staff), Yang (logistics supervisor) and Hu (technician, responsible for maintaining gambling sites) as its backbone members and several salesmen as its members.

　　Through preliminary investigation, the task force went to Yibin, Guang ‘an, Nanchuan, Hubei, Fujian and other places in Sichuan to carry out centralized and unified arrest operations. After careful arrangement and strict control, at 9: 00 am on June 20, seven arrest groups acted at the same time in different places, successfully arresting 41 key members such as Liu, Fan, Yang and Hu, and several salesmen.

　　After the backbone members and salesmen were arrested, the organization structure and operation mode of the fraud gang were all presented to the project police, thus revealing the true face of "Gao Fushuai" warm man and the inside story of "killing pigs" fraud.

　　Hire a doctor of psychology to train liars.

　　According to Liu, the main suspect, the "company" purchased overseas servers, hired Hu Moumou and others to build a gambling sites, and by constantly changing the name of the APP platform, opened Beijing 28, Canada 28, Beijing Racing, Time-sharing Color, Three-point PK10 and other colors, recruited more than 200 salesmen, and the company purchased micro-signals, telephone cards, trained speech skills, and used virtual positioning software to find divorced women and single women in well-known domestic dating websites and dating websites.

　　After entering the love stage with the victim, the victim was tricked into betting on his platform, and at the same time, some screenshots of making money on his APP were sent to the victim, saying that he usually won the bet, with the ultimate goal of tricking the victim into betting on the company’s so-called gambling website. After that, the salesman instructed the victim to recharge his bets on the website. In the early stage, the small bets made the customer make a small profit and induced the victim to increase his bets. If there was no money, the salesman would suggest that he could borrow money from various small loan platforms to bet. When the customer no longer had money to bet, he used high odds, black balls and fabricated reasons to refuse to withdraw cash and close the APP to make all the money recharged by the customer go up in smoke, while the salesman would make a percentage of the loss of the customer. According to the confession of the criminal suspect Fan, the platform for the victim to participate in gambling is controlled by the company. After the salesman tricked the victim into feeling, he committed fraud. All the money lost by the victim went into the company, not the platform, and the process of "killing pigs" ended.

　　The criminal suspect He confessed that he entered the "Win-Win for All" under the recommendation of a friend. After arriving at the company, he was trained for half a month. The old employees taught him the detailed operation of gambling purchase on the computer, and then distributed a special mobile phone and notebook computer with dating software. He asked to download photos of handsome guys from the Internet and package them into "Gao Fushuai" successful singles who started the company. At the same time, he was widowed and has not found them so far, in order to win sympathy. Then chat in the name of love, and after the emotional foundation heats up, trick the victim into online gambling and implement fraud. In order to ensure the probability of cheating the victim’s money, the company also hired a doctor’s degree in psychology to conduct speech training and form a speech book, which can be played on the basis of copying and pasting when chatting with the victim.

　　Most of the women victims are between 30 and 45 years old, and the largest sum of money cheated is more than 3 million yuan, and at least one sum is more than 10 thousand yuan. In order to recover the cost, the victim invested all his savings, borrowed all his relatives and friends, and some even made loans on the small loan platform, and finally sold their cars and houses. Under the lure of emotional swindlers, they get deeper and deeper, and when they wake up, they find that they have been cheated. At this time, there is nothing they can do.

　　It is understood that the gang company has strict discipline and cannot go out privately. In order to prevent the salesman from leaving privately, all personal mobile phones and passports are handed in after entering the company to prevent its fraud from being detected by the public security organs.

　　How to prevent "killing pig plate" fraud? When it comes to money, be cautious.

　　According to the police, this kind of fraud means that the criminal suspect uses the psychological needs of the victim to win the trust of the victim by packaging "Gao Fushuai" and "true love", and then implements "killing pig plate" fraud in the name of gambling.

　　Yuzhong police reminded that although there are various ways and means of fraud by fraudsters, the routine is the same: gain trust and lure them with benefits. When looking for a love object on the dating website, we must verify it in many ways, strive to meet more and communicate with each other, and also ask relatives and friends to help us check the reference. Don’t immerse yourself in the virtual world and avoid being cheated by color and money. If the other party asks you to make or transfer money, you must be cautious when it comes to money expenditure. As long as we establish a good anti-fraud awareness, be vigilant and stay awake, and report to the police quickly when encountering suspicious fraudsters, fraudsters will eventually have nothing to do and nowhere to escape.

　　Chongqing morning post Upstream Journalist Tan Yao

　　Keep the original heart, undertake the mission, and inherit forever. To celebrate the party’s birthday, on July 1st, the red theme stage play "Send You to Yan ‘an" directed by China Red Sports Culture Research Center and Baqiao District Culture and Tourism Sports Bureau of Xi ‘an was specially staged in Xi ‘an Dahua 1935 Nine Theater. Wonderful stories, vivid characters and touching moments … … At the scene, nearly 700 people from party member, a number of units, and the social audience watched the red drama.

　　Keep the original heart, review the history of the party and look back on the eventful years.

　　Yan ‘an, the revolutionary holy land, is the foothold of the victory of the Red Army’s Long March and the starting point of the liberation war to establish an anti-Japanese national United front, win the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and then win the national victory. In the difficult years of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Yan ‘an was like a huge magnet, attracting many young people who were pursuing progress, ideals and ambitions from all over the country to this barren plateau of northern Shaanxi. The road to Yan ‘an is long and arduous, and there are many difficulties to overcome, even life-threatening. For the "unarmed" intellectual youth, every step is thrilling and every step is a test of life.

　　In this context, a group of small soldiers engaged in service work in the "Communication Training Course of the 38th Teaching Team of the 17th Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army" in Qixianzhuang, Xi ‘an, shouldered the heavy responsibility of transporting patriotic youth to Yan ‘an outside their daily work. They tactfully and bravely dealt with the Kuomintang spies, secretly transported revolutionary fighters, progressive youth and patriots to Yan’ an under the cover of their young age, and contributed to the development and growth of the revolutionary ranks.

　　The red drama on the mission stage tells the revolutionary story

　　The red drama "Send You to Yan ‘an" shows the growth and fighting experience of a group of little soldiers in a special historical period from the perspective of the little soldiers of the Red Army. On the stage, a group of childlike children were dressed in "red clothes", and the serious and lively atmosphere attracted the audience tightly. The ups and downs of the story suddenly pulled the audience’s thoughts into Xi’ an during the Anti-Japanese War, and the powerful solemn oath aroused the pride and pride in the audience’s hearts. With the constant switching of shots, the witty and brave "little soldiers" and "enemies" skillfully deal with each other, and the real historical stories come alive under their interpretation, which attracted applause from the audience.

　　It is worth mentioning that in the creation of the play, the creative team collected a lot of historical materials, visited and studied in the Red Memorial Museum, and visited experts in the study of party history and the old Red Army and its descendants, adding a strong historical basis for the true presentation of the play. Screenwriter Yang Jun said: "Send You to Yan ‘an" is a work that inherits the red cultural genes. Red culture is an advanced culture with China characteristics, which was jointly created by the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, advanced elements and the people during the revolutionary war years. It contains rich revolutionary spirit and profound historical and cultural connotations. To inherit the red culture and tell the red story well, we need a realistic work that respects history and pays tribute to our ancestors, eulogizing the era, eulogizing the heroes and eulogizing the people.

As the Spring Festival approaches, gold is once again hot. In the shopping mall, you will find that the price of gold jewelry has soared to more than 400 yuan a gram! Looking at the international gold market again, affected by the situation in the Middle East and various "black swan" incidents, gold has soared to $1,600 per ounce, setting the highest value in seven years!

Is it necessary to add gold in 2020? There is a paragraph that says: "When the weather is sunny, the proportion of physical gold in the family asset portfolio is at most 1%; But if you consider ‘ A certain president ’ The proportion should be raised to 5%. "

So, how do you view the current gold market?

"When the cannon rings, there are two thousand gold."

At the beginning of 2020, the United States suddenly attacked Iranian officers, and the situation in the Middle East escalated, which made the global gold market almost crazy, breaking through the key point of $1,600 per ounce and hitting a new high in the past seven years.

In other words, there are "three treasures" in the rise of gold: dollar, liquidity and geopolitical conflict. Nowadays, the global economy is weakening, many countries are caught in the tide of interest rate cuts, dollar assets are at a high level, and the conflict between the United States and Iraq is gaining momentum. The world is facing a major change that has not been seen for many years. Under various uncertain factors, risk aversion is rapidly heating up and gold prices are rising sharply. Some analysts even pointed out that the price of gold is expected to rise above the historical high of $1,900 per ounce in 2011.

Figure 1: Gold price trend in 2019, source: Oriental Fortune Network

Let’s lengthen our observation point of view. Since the 1970s, every geopolitical turmoil has been accompanied by a short-term rise in gold, such as the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Iran-Iraq war, the Gulf war and the Iraq war (as shown in Figure 2) … … It can be seen that gold is a good safe-haven variety. Can we take the house when we start fighting? But a few gold bars can be taken away if you want, and can be used all over the world, because gold is universal equivalent and the world currency.

Figure 2: 1968 & mdash; Influence of geopolitical conflict on gold price in 2011, Source: CITIC Construction Investment Research.

Careful readers find that although gold has an upward trend in the short term after the geopolitical conflict, it cannot reverse the trend of greater dimension and longer cycle.In other words, 1980 — In 2001, wars were frequent, but the gold market experienced a cyclical big bear market for 20 years. The international gold price dropped from 600 US dollars/ounce in 1980 to about 270 US dollars/ounce in 2001. In 20 years, the price of gold halved and fell by more than 50%. Therefore, it is risky to take war or conflict as a gold investment decision.

To analyze the deeper reasons behind this round of 20-year bear market is a more reliable way to decide gold investment. As we all know, the last 20 years of the 20th century was the "golden age" of global economic growth. The tax reduction reform and information technology revolution led by the United States took the lead in getting rid of the trouble of economic stagflation and created the innovation dividend and the bull market in the capital market that continued to recent years. During this period, the average annual growth rate of the American economy reached about 3.5%.

At the same time, another big country, China, started the reform and opening up, with an average annual growth rate of more than 10%. In other words, during this period, the rate of return on investing in China and the United States, whether it is the stock market or the property market, is far better than that of gold. Smart money is allocated to assets other than gold.

When considering large-scale asset allocation, the investment community will use the famous "Merrill Lynch Clock" investment model. According to the explanation of this model, when the economy recovers, the returns of the stock market and the property market are greater than gold; In the stage of economic stagflation and recession, the investment value of gold is highlighted again.

The "Kondratiev Long Wave" in the cycle theory also shows that gold assets will enter a long-term bull market with the long-wave (50-60 years) recession as the starting point, and obtain significant excess returns in the supermarket during the recession period of 5-10 years.

In terms of data, after 2001, the United States experienced the Internet bubble and the real estate bubble successively, and the economy fell into recession, with an average economic growth rate of less than 2%, while gold experienced a bull market, which rose to $1,500 per ounce, a fivefold increase (as shown in Figure 2).This angle proves that gold is an enemy of economic growth, but a friend of economic recession.

Since 2018, the world has lowered its economic growth expectations. Under the catalysis of risk events such as trade friction, Brexit and the Middle East crisis, the safe-haven value of gold has soared together with the price of gold.

"Gold does not create value!"

At the end of the year, many people will buy some gold for the Spring Festival and send it to their relatives, friends and elders. Judging from the domestic gold price, we still remember that a few years ago, gold was only more than 200 grams, and the incident of Chinese aunt robbing gold was impressive. Recently, gold has risen to 400— 450 yuan, one gram. Those who buy early must "earn" So, is the future gold still worth buying?

Let me start with a "sad" conclusion: in the long run, gold has little investment value.

Warren Buffett is not optimistic about gold investment. In 2009, he made an interesting metaphor, comparing gold with stocks. He said: "Coca-Cola’s stocks can make money, and Wells Fargo’s stocks can also make a lot of money. It’s much better to have a goose that can’t stop laying eggs than a goose that can sit there and spend insurance and inventory. " Goose that can lay eggs is a stock that will pay dividends continuously. The latter kind of goose refers to gold. Holding gold can’t earn interest or dividends, but it needs to pay a high storage fee.

Look at a clearer set of data. Professor Siegel of Wharton Business School collected the performance of various financial assets in the United States for more than 200 years and drew the following chart.

Figure 3: 1802 & mdash; In 2002, the return of $1 invested in various assets, source: The Long-term Magic Weapon of Stock Market, Siegel.

The data clearly shows that one dollar invested in the US stock market is worth 704,000 dollars after 200 years, which is 700,000 times. Investing in gold, 1 dollar becomes 4.52 dollars.Siegel commented: "In a long time, gold can protect investors from the impact of inflation, and there is no other role."Siegel’s famous research method and final conclusion have been widely confirmed by many countries and become a yardstick of asset allocation today.

In the long run, the only asset that can beat the inflation rate is stock assets. However, many people must doubt that, since American stocks make so much money, why are China stocks always trapped? Of course, there are chronic diseases in the China stock market itself, and there are also improper choices of stock targets by retail investors. For example, assets such as Maotai, the "wine gold", cannot be excavated.But a key problem lies in "not being able to hold" good stocks and not holding high-quality assets for a long time.

Although gold has no investment value. But gold also has an irreplaceable side. It does not guarantee that you will get rich, but it can guarantee that there will always be meat to eat! For example, in the 1990s, if you held 100 yuan, you could buy 20 Jin of pork, but in 2019, you could only buy 3 Jin. But if you have been holding 100 yuan’s equivalent gold, you can still buy pork of similar weight today.

Siegel’s explanation and data are very convincing, but there is a key question, that is, how long is the long term? Keynes said, "In the long run, we are all dead." Who will hold gold for 200 years? How to grasp the present is the problem that everyone is more concerned about.

Gold, infatuation and confusion

Standing at the threshold of 2020, global economic turmoil, weak growth and inflation are coming … … Such a big environment is in line with the common sense that "jewels are hidden in prosperous times and gold is bought in troubled times". However, this strategy is too rough. According to the above analysis, it is not difficult for us to conclude that gold has the dual attributes of currency and commodity. To judge the trend of gold price, it needs to be comprehensively deduced in big logic according to different attributes and perspectives of various dimensions.

In the long run, the operation of gold price shows certain regularity with the fluctuation of global economy. We need to recognize whether the present is the end of the last round of growth cycle or the eve of the new industrial revolution. In addition, monetary credit has a long-term law, that is, after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971, the exchange relationship between gold and the US dollar has changed from 35 US dollars/ounce to 1,600 US dollars/ounce today.

The international community is increasingly dissatisfied with the long-term depreciation of the US dollar. Gold, the "anchor of money" for thousands of years, has been recognized again. In fact, in recent years, many central banks have greatly increased their gold reserves as a tool for credit hedging, which also constitutes the upward pressure of gold from the demand level.

In the medium term, gold, as a precious metal, has commodity attributes and global liquidity. From quantitative easing after the crisis to the era of negative interest rate under the tide of global interest rate cuts, it is expected that the prices of various commodities will rise strongly.

In the short term, global risk appetite is the core factor affecting the fluctuation of gold price, especially the world’s concern about geopolitical turmoil.

It can be said that even the cleverest brain can’t give an accurate judgment on the trend of gold prices, but a three-dimensional and multi-dimensional observation perspective helps us get closer to the real situation.

Ironically, when summing up his investment achievements, Buffett told a metaphor of "ovarian lottery": "I have excellent conditions in all aspects, a good family environment, and my parents are very intelligent and go to a good school. These are very important. But I was born in a good place at the right time, and I won ‘ Ovarian lottery ’ 。”

Buffett’s main wealth accumulation was realized in a good era of rapid economic development in the United States, and he made the right investment at the right time and place — — Stock assets share the growth dividend. Another important reason is that he lived long enough, and 99% of his wealth was realized after the age of 50. From a long-term perspective, the "ovarian lottery theory" may enlighten our gold investment.

Gold will always make people obsessed and troubled, greedy and fearful. Perhaps this is the charm of gold.

Special feature of 1905 film network Three years later, the screen epic hit again!

The film broke through $100 million in six days in North America, and quickly surpassed the total box office of the first film in North America in the first week. After landing in the mainland cinema, Douban scored 8.2, setting the third highest score for the director in the mainland, and its reputation was bursting.

Magnificent classical adventure narrative and top-notch audio-visual production of Hollywood blockbusters, Dune 2 is a movie that truly belongs to the cinema. As the director said, "Dune 2 is all about making the audience get the most shocking viewing effect with the cooperation of the big screen and sound effects, so as to impress them!"

The second part tries to make the audience who haven’t seen the first part understand it basically. The story begins a few hours after the end of the first part. Paul and his mother Jessica blend into the freeman tribe and join hands with them to fight back. On the road of revenge, Paul fell in love with Cheney, but he also foresaw a terrible future and fell into a choice.

The length of 166 minutes, many characters and complicated clues, how to better understand Dune 2? The 1905 movie network specially sorted out the details of 10 knowledge points to help everyone go deep into the dune universe and better understand this film.

(Note: The following contains spoilers, so it is recommended to read them after watching the movie.)

From "dream" to "spice"

The opening words before the first feature film of Dune are: "Dreams are messages from the deep". "Dune 2" also continued the opening way: "Who controls the spice will control the universe" (Power over spice is power over all). These two sentences reflect the different themes of the two films.

The key word of the first film is "dream". Paul’s broken dreams appear repeatedly in the film, and his potential consciousness of predicting the future pushes him to become a "chosen son".

The key word of the second part is "spice". In the world of sand dunes, spices are the most important rare resources, which can help to prolong life, develop the ability of prediction, analysis and calculation, and master the technology of interstellar travel, etc. However, spices are only produced on the planet Elacos, which has become a battleground for all families.

Therefore, the opening remarks of the second part point to the theme of this film, which is about how Paul grew up and seized imperial power.

Regarding the change of the theme before and after, director Villeneuve explained: "In the first movie, we followed Paul to discover a world, which was more meditative, more meditative and more in contact with nature. In the second movie, he became a man, a guerrilla fighter who fell in love and wanted to avenge his father. This is more like an action movie. "

What is Paul thinking?

In Villeneuve’s view, Paul in Dune 2 became a "dark and powerful savior."

He was recognized by freeman people, killed Baron Harkonan in revenge for his father, and won the throne from the emperor, thus completing a wonderful "Revenge of the Prince".

An interesting echo is that in the first part of Dune, the Virgin Helen used "voice control" to make Paul kneel down, and at the end of the second part, Paul scolded the Virgin Helen with "voice control" skills and humiliated her on the spot. This revenge detail points out the transfer and replacement of power.

At the same time, the prophecy tells Paul that the coming jihad will bring chaos and disaster to freeman people, and he faces a moral dilemma. In fact, Paul doesn’t want to be a ruler or be regarded as a savior, but the desire and temptation of revenge drove him into prophecy, and perhaps he also wanted to reverse prophecy, which is his life tragedy and dilemma.

In the second novel of Dune series, it is reflected that Frank Herbert, the author, does not want to portray Paul as a hero who successfully retaliates, but rather wants to tell the cautionary story that the savior was caught in the temptation of imperialism. Director Villeneuve integrated this into Paul in Dune 2 in advance.

Why did Paul have such a huge psychological change? His inner world needs more excavation and explanation in the third part to form a more complete arc of characters.

"Lissan Al Gheb"

Freeman people keep shouting "Lisan Al-Gabe", which means "the voice from the sky". This is their name for the savior. I believe Lisan Al-Gabe will lead his people into a paradise full of oases.

The legend of Lissan Al-Gabe is actually a superstition spread by the sisters of Beni Jessilit. Steiger, the leader of freeman people, also hoped that Paul was a "chosen man" and could lead his people to get rid of oppression and be free. He also made use of religious belief to make freeman people worship Paul crazily, and the means taken by the film to him was ironic with a certain black humor.

The truth about sorority

The Sisterhood of Benny Jessilit unveiled the mystery in Dune 2.

They try to guide the fate of human beings, and through high-quality gene mating from generation to generation, they produce a superman savior with strong predictive ability — — Que Satz Jadraque. Sisterhood is hidden behind the scenes and skillfully manipulates political operations.

The sorority originally planned to let Lady Jessica give birth to a daughter and marry Fred Rosa Harkonan to give birth to a prophet. However, Mrs. Jessica violated the century-old plan of the sorority and gave birth to her son Paul.

After turning herself into a virgin, Lady Jessica used her strength to help Paul become the Lisan Al Gabe in freeman, the prophet Que Satz Jadraque and the emperor of the empire. She and Helen, the top lady of the sorority, are completely on the opposite side.

Mrs. Margo, a new sorority member, approached Fred with the instructions of the Virgin Helen and tried to combine with his genes, thus ensuring that even if Paul was out of control, they could continue their new excellent blood line.

Another emerging character, Princess Ilerang, is the daughter of Emperor Padisha and a disciple of the Virgin Helen. She participated in this political game in order to keep her family in power.

The biggest adaptation of Cheney

Cheney is a very large adaptation of Dune 2 compared with the original work.

In the novel, she is a obedient and silent wife of Paul, who gives birth to a child soon, but unfortunately dies. In the movie, she is the embodiment of strong, independent and free women’s power, and she is not carried away by power and extreme fanaticism.

With Paul’s sincere integration into the life of freeman people, Cheney gradually fell in love with him, but gradually hated everything behind him.

Cheney doesn’t believe in Lady Jessica’s "mental brainwashing" of freeman people, and she doesn’t understand the drama of Paul drinking the water of life and performing "suspended animation" with Jessica. She doesn’t accept Paul’s leading freeman people to wage war as a savior, and she hates these machinations.

The duel between Paul and Fidel is actually a game of mixed power and emotion. Paul not only wants to seize the imperial power, but also takes his life to keep Cheney’s reluctance and love in the duel. But Cheney in the movie is not Cheney in the novel, and she finally turns away.

The first part of Dune begins with Cheney’s narration, and Dune 2 observes Paul’s loss through Cheney’s perspective, and the last scene returns to Cheney. As the screenwriter said, "Cheney represents the freedom of freeman people — — It is not only the freedom to resist colonial rule, but also the freedom to resist prophecy. "

In front of Paul, who obeys fate, and the sisterhood, who manipulates fertility and political games, Cheney is more contemporary and more advanced in female consciousness.

A glimpse of Arya

Aria, Paul’s sister, has only one shot in the movie, but it creates a very surprising and mysterious effect.

Because Mrs Jessica drank the water of life when she was pregnant, she got all the memories of her ancestors and became a real virgin, and Aria in her womb also inherited this powerful force.

In the novel, Aria was born before Paul launched the revenge war, and even she personally killed her "grandfather" Baron Harkonan, instead of Paul in the movie.

In Dune 2, Aria mainly appears as a fetus and talks with Jessica across the abdomen. This visual design can be reminiscent of director Villeneuve’s favorite sci-fi movie ending in the image of a cosmic baby, which may be a reference to pay tribute.

The most complicated scene: Paul riding a worm.

Dune 2 is more complex and grand than the first film Dune. According to patrice Ouimet, the scenery is 40% more than the previous film. And instead of using the first set, it was all redesigned in the desert.

In the film, the imperial garden of Emperor Paddy was set in the Briant family cemetery, which is a masterpiece of Italian architect carlo scarpa and a poetic garden built for the dead. Shooting the emperor’s scenes in the cemetery may indicate the failure of his abdication.

The Briant family never let the crew shoot, even refused the request, but this time it made an exception for Dune 2.

Paul riding a worm is the most complicated scene in the whole film. In the interview, I deeply remember that this is "the 62nd scene, the passage of the worm, which took three months to shoot."

Under Steiger’s guidance and training, Paul successfully harnessed the giant worm, which was like an adult ceremony, showing the dominant power of the "chosen son", and he gradually gained the recognition of freeman people.

Interestingly, behind the scenes, director Villeneuve also demonstrated how to ride a worm, and all the actors who performed riding a worm in the film went to learn from him in advance. Villeneuve said that the last thing he wants to compromise and restore is the scene of riding a worm. "It is very experimental and much more complicated than the paragraphs I have taken in the past."

A unique black-and-white image

The appearance of the villain Fidel Rosa Harkonan and the paragraphs of the arena fighting adopt a very unique black and white image style.

This eerie black-and-white picture highlights the horrible totalitarian atmosphere of the Harkonan family. Translucent skin and deep eyes also highlight the fierce and morbid image of Fidel, which is creepy.

Villeneuve and Greig Fraser, the director of photography, had a lot of discussions about the light source design of the main star of Jadi in Harkonan, and they decided to shoot with the modified infrared camera to create a very surreal black-and-white effect.

On the dark planet Jedi, light does not exist in a way that we can perceive. A visible light cutting filter is added in front of the lens, and an infrared cutting filter is taken out from the camera, so what the camera sees is infrared.

Villeneuve said that the fascist and totalitarian environment of Harkonan gave them the opportunity to create this visual image, which he described as "like an old fascist film of World War II."

Faster rhythm than the first one.

Compared with the first part of Dune, the narrative rhythm of Dune 2 is obviously accelerated.

Editing director Joe Walker won the Oscar for best editing with Dune, and Dune 2 was his fifth collaboration with Villeneuve. He said that the most talked about this time is how to shoot Dune 2 faster and cut it faster.

In addition to making the second film closer to the setting and imagination of "action movie", Villeneuve also said in the interview that he wanted to create motivation in this story, put pressure on Paul and create an internal rhythm in the tense atmosphere of the film.

Especially after Paul drank the water of life and decided to become the spiritual leader of freeman people to launch a war, he could feel the rhythm of each scene getting faster and faster, and he also felt the great pressure on Paul. Villeneuve said, "I need to compress time to create this pressure."

Ongoing soundtrack

"When the first credits appeared, I looked at the book and found that we only got to page 156! Haven’t really started yet … "

The composer said that many of the soundtracks of Dune 2 were written by him at the end of the first part of Dune, and after the first part was filmed, he continued to create music for Dune Universe.

Following the main theme of the first book Dune, the second book can clearly hear Hans Zimmer’s different styles of music for freeman people’s world, Harkonan’s world, the female voice of Benny Jeslitt’s sisterhood, and the love melody of Paul and Cheney. Villeneuve said that he cried the first time he heard the love theme song of Paul and Cheney.

On the second day of filming Dune 2, Villeneuve put Dune 2: Dune Messiah, his second novel, on Hans Zimmer’s desk, indicating that he would continue to compose the music for Dune 3.

From an early age, there are still many unknown suspense in predicting Dune 3 — —

Will Princess Illang, who married Paul, have a plot to assassinate him? Will Mrs. Margot, who made a short appearance, be pregnant with Fred Rosa’s child? Will Duncan, the strongest soldier of the Cui Di family, come back from the dead? What new story line will Cheney leave Paul completely different from the original? How strong will Aria be when she grows up? What kind of messiah dilemma will Paul face? ……

"Dune 2" has more details worthy of the audience to brush and taste, and I hope that "Dune 3" can be filmed as soon as possible and come as soon as possible!
