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.

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.

Then the question is coming. Which one do you want to see most?

Welcome to leave a message

　　Now, who hasn’t received several harassing calls for sales promotion? Who doesn’t have several apps installed in their mobile phones? Is there a connection between the two? Maybe there is.

　　From July 17 to August 13, 2018, China Consumers Association organized a questionnaire survey on "Personal Information Disclosure of APP". According to Pi Xiaolin, director of the commodity service supervision department of China Consumers Association, 85.2% of the 5,458 valid questionnaires collected said that they had experienced personal information disclosure of APP, and only 14.8% had not experienced personal information disclosure. Nearly 90% of the respondents who suffered information leakage said that they had been harassed by sales calls or text messages.

　　Nearly 90% of mobile apps require location information.

　　According to the Regulations on the Management of Mobile Internet Application Information Services promulgated in 2016, APP operators should follow the principles of legality, justness and necessity in collecting and using users’ personal information, clearly state the purpose, method and scope of collecting and using information, and obtain the consent of users. However, in actual operation, APP operators basically require user information to be "undefended" according to their own wishes.

　　The survey results show that the right to read location information and the right to access contacts are the most common situations when installing and using mobile apps, accounting for 86.8% and 62.3% respectively. A relatively high proportion of respondents were asked to read the call records (47.5%), read the short message records (39.3%), turn on the camera (39.3%) and record the microphone (24.6%).

　　The reporter looked at the APP downloaded from his mobile phone and found that he had the most permission to use the location service. Among them, Beijing Mobile, Rookie Wrap, Public Comment, Didi Chuxing and other apps require location permission, which is a service necessity. However, video apps such as iQiyi and LeTV, dragonfly FM audio software, photo apps without other cameras and butter cameras, kitchen menu software, Baidu input method, WPS text editing software, etc., seem to have little to do with the user’s location, but they also require location permission, which does not conform to the necessary principle.

　　The "whatever you want" of APP has aroused the vigilance of many consumers. According to the report, it is more serious for mobile apps to obtain users’ privacy rights when their own functions are unnecessary, and 67.2% of the respondents said that they had encountered this situation.

　　Personal information is mostly collected for promotional advertisements.

　　Although most operators claim that they ask for more rights in order to better provide services to users, this is not consistent with users’ feelings.

　　According to the survey results, 77% of the respondents believe that promoting advertisements is the main reason why mobile apps collect personal information. Especially after obtaining the location information, the advertisement can be pushed more accurately. 45.9% of the respondents believe that operators are selling and exchanging personal information, and 24.6% of the respondents believe that they are engaged in fraud and theft.

　　The user’s feelings come from personal experiences in life. Ms. Zhang, a loyal user of today’s headlines, told reporters that when she used today’s headlines, she found that the headlines changed local channels at any time on the page according to the different cities where she lived, and also pushed local news and local advertisements to her.

　　"I went to Shanghai on business. Today, the headline APP followed me with an advertisement for china international furniture expo in Pudong. Why does it think I have to buy furniture in Shanghai? My home is not in Shanghai! " Ms. Zhang said in distress situation.

　　However, APP operators don’t care so much. As long as they can accurately push advertisements, the information collected is valuable, especially in advertising promotion.

　　In recent years, fraud cases caused by information leakage are common. According to this survey, after users’ personal information was leaked, about 86.5% of the respondents were harassed by sales calls or text messages, about 75% of the respondents received fraudulent calls, and about 63.4% of the respondents received spam, ranking the top three. In addition, some interviewees have received illegal information such as illegal links, and even more, personal account passwords have been stolen.

　　More than 20% of users never read application permissions and user agreements.

　　How to use and protect personal information, there is actually an agreement between users and mobile APP operators, that is, user agreements and privacy policies need to be signed when registering. However, many users only operate the "next step" all the way when registering, and seldom pay attention to the small words as big as ants.

　　The survey results show that when users install and use mobile apps, few people read the application rights and user agreements or privacy policies, 31.2% of users occasionally read, 26.2% never read, 18.1% always read, and only 8.2% often read. Moreover, among the respondents who have read the application rights and user agreements or privacy policies, only 26.7% of the respondents can read them carefully, less than 30%. In other words, everyone basically has a green light all the way and opens their arms to the APP.

　　Why is this happening? Do users care about their privacy? The survey shows that it is more likely to be a kind of helplessness — — Among the respondents who accounted for 26.2% never read the application rights and user agreements or privacy policies, 61.2% admitted that the main reason why they never read them was that they could not use them without authorization and had to accept them.

　　Recently, the reporter downloaded China Telecom’s online business hall APP on his mobile phone, and found that if he did not agree with the "Telecom User Registration Agreement", he could not use it at all. The National APP WeChat also has this problem. If you don’t agree with the user agreement, you can’t register and use it. However, Taobao, Dianping, Baidu and other apps don’t agree with the user agreement. Although they can’t complete registration and login, and can’t enjoy more sophisticated services, the basic functions can still be used.

　　Even users who have carefully read the agreement are vulnerable to APP operators. The survey shows that after the disclosure of personal information, some respondents will take various measures to protect their rights and interests, such as complaining to consumer associations and relevant administrative departments, and some respondents will choose to negotiate with service providers and give feedback to relevant industry organizations, but in the end, about one-third of the respondents choose to "admit that they are unlucky".

　　Those users who are unable to protect themselves have to take some conservative measures to console themselves. For example, 67.2% of the respondents said that when using the APP, they mainly protected their personal information by filling in part of their personal information, 18% of users used some false information when registering, 24.6% of users installed relevant protection software, and 32.7% of users chose to close the services that could be closed after registration.

　　"On the one hand, users and mobile APP service providers are often in an unequal position, and they can only agree or be forced to agree to format terms and information access rights; On the other hand, although consumers have a sense of self-protection, they do not know how to protect themselves more effectively, and it is often difficult to respond effectively. " Pi Xiaolin said that there is a general trend of over-collection of personal information by mobile apps, and users have many concerns, but they often lack adequate and effective countermeasures, and the protection of users’ personal information and privacy needs to be strengthened. (Reporter Yan Ying)

On March 18th, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China presided over the the State Council executive meeting to clarify the departmental responsibilities and division of labor in the Government Work Report and ensure the completion of the main objectives and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year; Deploy and promote the sustainable development of agriculture and accelerate agricultural modernization. The meeting held that "agriculture, countryside and farmers" is the top priority of the government’s work, and it is necessary to keep the momentum and investment in agriculture constant, deepen the pace of reform, focus on changing the development mode, take the road of new agricultural modernization, ensure national food security and promote farmers’ income.

Just after the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, the State Council held a standing meeting to study the deployment of agricultural development, taking the government work report as the main line, taking the Government Work Report approved by the National People’s Congress as the "responsibility book" for the government to make a commitment to the people of the whole country, and adopted the National Agricultural Sustainable Development Plan, which determined to promote the stable and sustainable development of agriculture from three aspects, fully demonstrating the country’s concern for the "three rural issues" and its high attention to the sustainable development of agriculture.

According to public reports, in 2014, China’s total grain output reached 1.21 trillion Jin, and the per capita grain possession was nearly 900 Jin, both of which reached the highest level in history. Huang Ansheng, director of the China Office of the United Nations World Food Program, once revealed to the media that the current global food security situation is not optimistic. Although the number of hungry people in the world is generally decreasing, the problem of hunger is still serious, and the number of hungry people in North Africa and the Middle East is still increasing. According to the latest hunger report released by the United Nations, nearly 870 million people in the world are chronically malnourished, and about 852 million of them live in developing countries. In this case, China’s remarkable achievements in food security are particularly valuable. Is leading the world. However, the more so, the more soberly we should realize that, while our arable land area is approaching the per capita occupancy limit, no matter how strictly the farmland protection policy is implemented, the overall area will only decrease rather than increase, and the room for increasing grain output will become smaller and smaller. How to ensure that the total grain output will not decline and continue to stabilize and increase grain yield, we must optimize the agricultural production layout, strictly protect cultivated land, stabilize the grain sowing area, and adopt deep ploughing and deep loosening to improve the quality of cultivated land according to the requirements of the State Council. This is not only related to the major fundamental livelihood issues of Chinese where China grain is always in the bowl, but also related to the harmony and stability of the country and society.

If agriculture is the foundation of national economic development and social stability, then food production is the foundation of this foundation. In the thousands of years of historical development in China, "instability without agriculture" can be described as an eternal lesson. The importance of food security is self-evident. China’s population accounts for nearly 20% of the world’s total population. China can solve the food security problem of its own population, and in a sense, it has made great contributions to the world. In fact, in recent years, we have not only solved the problem of feeding our own population, but also achieved rapid economic development and "oversupply" in grain production. These remarkable achievements are really impressive. On the whole, the oversupply of grain production is mainly due to the national policy of benefiting farmers and the increasing investment in science, technology and mechanical agriculture, which makes the grain yield high. However, with the rapid development of agricultural science and technology, the current household contract responsibility system has been difficult to meet the requirements of modern agricultural development, which not only ensures the interests of farmers’ land contractual ownership, but also realizes farmers’ income increase and agricultural development. The executive meeting of the State Council proposed that we should make full use of the system reform, promote various forms of moderate scale operation and improve labor productivity and output level on the basis of stabilizing family business. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, all localities should, in accordance with the requirements of the central government, allow farmers to take shares in contracted management rights to develop agricultural industrialization.Encourage the transfer of contractual management rights to large professional households, family farms, farmers’ cooperatives and agricultural enterprises in the open market, and develop various forms of scale operation.

With the decrease of cultivated land year by year and the extreme use of land, there is very limited room for the growth of total grain output in the future. China is also a country with frequent natural disasters. There may be "eleven consecutive increases" in grain, but there may not be "twelve" or "thirteen" or even n consecutive increases. Food security will never end. From a long-term perspective, it is not impossible to present a grain crisis with a little carelessness. To this end, the the State Council executive meeting proposed to implement major projects such as water and soil resources protection, agricultural and rural environmental management, promote the conservation of efficient water, prevent and control farmland and aquaculture pollution, strengthen the protection of forests, grasslands, wetlands, rivers and lakes, and develop ecological recycling agriculture. In view of this, local governments must establish a high sense of crisis in farmland protection and grain production, completely change the concept of "land finance" to ensure that the "red line" of cultivated land is not broken. Secondly, we will continue to increase the policy inclination to agricultural production, especially grain production, formulate a long-term mechanism to improve farmers’ enthusiasm for growing grain, encourage and promote the legal and orderly circulation of rural cultivated land, change the traditional planting mode, and promote the transformation of agricultural production to "scale". In addition, increase the propaganda of saving food, form a good atmosphere of saving food in all walks of life and fields, encourage and promote the catering industry to formulate an "anti-waste" management system that is suitable for its own business development and acceptable to consumers. Generally speaking, it is to grasp the agricultural momentum and investment, deepen the pace of reform, focus on changing the development mode, and take a new road of agricultural modernization.Ensure national food security and increase farmers’ income. With the stability of grain as the foundation, all social undertakings can develop steadily, which is not only related to the stability of our own country, but also to the responsibility of a big country for the peaceful and stable development of the world.

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!

Park Shin Hye’s works have been continuous since her debut as a child star, and with her efforts in the circle for many years, she has successfully transformed into a new generation of Korean drama queen. Park Shin Hye can be said to be loyal in the Korean entertainment circle. On weekdays, there are many friends in the circle, and Song Joong Ki is one of her friends. Let’s take a look at how powerful the opposite sex of the goddess is.

Do you remember Cui Yingdao who came in to bully Che Enshang in "Heirs"? Ouba, a fish cake, also said that it was the happiest for the three actresses in the play to get along with Park Shin Hye in private. They also attended the award ceremony of the National Opera Festival together, and their friendship was perfect.

Park Shin Hye’s closest relative, Lan Yan’s confidant, must be counted as Li Hongji. They are full of friendship and have many loving stories. They often help each other, and they also tease each other when they kiss while helping to shoot the MV.

Park Shin Hye said that the original script was that she kissed Li Hongji, but she felt that she would be laughed at for 100 years, so she changed it to Li Hongji kissing her, and the friendship between friends was full marks.

Jang Keun Suk Park Shin Hye’s cooperation in "It turned out to be a beautiful man" made them become good friends, shooting advertisements together, getting full marks in CP, and often meeting in private.

Park Shin Hye Jung Yong Hwa’s "It turns out to be a beautiful man" and "You are crazy about me" are both TV dramas co-produced by two people. Park Shin Hye, who was busy filming at that time, would go to help Jung Yong Hwa show out all night, with full marks.

Recently, Park Shin Hye, who was busy filming doctors, took a photo of the aid certification on SNS. The aid vehicle supported by his friend Yong Jun Hyung showed us their full friendship.

As a good friend in the circle, Kim HeeChul is of course a good friend with Park Shin Hye. Kim HeeChul and Li Hongji and others also helped her celebrate her birthday ~

Pinocchio, co-produced by two people, not only got full marks in acting, but also the sweet relationship between the two people was exposed by the Korean media. Although both sides denied this statement and said that they were just friends, the Korean media also sent out evidence photos.

　　The word "volume" is the most distinctive label in today’s automobile industry. At the moment when the automobile market is scrambling to occupy the forefront of the market, the competitive direction of many cars is not only to configure the volume value, but also to be intelligent. However, many domestic new energy vehicles, such as ACC adaptive cruise system, have become standard, and the direction of the next volume of the car company is bound to be some more advanced intelligent driving assistance systems.

　　I, born in the all-electric digital platform, has four technical characteristics, such as high efficiency, high performance, high intelligence and high security. With high intelligence, it also has a high-level intelligent driving assistance system. The biggest difference between it and the general intelligent driving assistance system is that it has added a higher-level integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version and high-speed pilot intelligent driving assistance function, and the more detailed driving assistance action details from point A to point B. What will its performance be like? In the magic mountain city of Chongqing in 8D, let’s experience it.

　　On the deep blue SL03i, how about the hardware of Zhijia?

　　The dark blue SL03i we test-drive is equipped with a variety of sensing components, including 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 6 micro-touch sensors, high-precision satellite system, capacitive touch-sensitive steering wheel sensor, 10 smart cameras with different pixels and different viewing angles inside and outside the car, and a DMS camera. Obviously, this is a low-cost intelligent driving hardware scheme that is not pure vision or laser radar. The cooperation of various sensing components can give full play to their respective advantages and realize 360-degree all-round monitoring.

　　In addition to hardware, the intelligent driving system of Deep Blue SL03i not only provides conventional maps and high-precision maps provided by Gaode, but also has a large-scale data pool. Based on a large number of open road tests, a large number of data accumulation and simulation training, as well as continuous optimization of algorithms and integration of software and hardware, the paper parameters and actual experience of this system can achieve a good result.

　　Deep blue SL03i has both traditional dashboard and AR-HUD. Its imaging size is equivalent to 53 inches, and the information that can be displayed here is very basic but critical. More finely on the central control screen, it shows the surrounding road conditions very accurately. Vehicles, lanes and obstacles will be displayed, all thanks to the capture and identification of the surrounding environment by the on-board hardware system.

　　The car system supported by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 can provide more critical computing power for intelligent driving. In addition to the highly intelligent IACC-L integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version, it is also equipped with NID pilot intelligent driving assistance system, which is a set of driving assistance system based on navigation path. It relies on high-precision maps to achieve pilot-assisted driving on supported expressways and some urban express sections, and it can achieve pilot-assisted driving from point A to point B on the road, which can achieve more advanced self-driving.

　　Our experience just happened to catch up with Monday, and it was still in the mountain city of Chongqing, which is known as the 8D magic city and may be the most complicated road network in the world. The experience of assisted driving on such complicated and changeable road conditions with dense traffic and frequent road construction is a great test of the intelligent driving skills of Deep Blue SL03i. In fact, except for some high-speed sections, the occasional urban road conditions in Chongqing also intermittently support the coverage of high-precision maps. So what is its actual performance here?

　　Urban Expressway+Expressway Intelligent Driving Experience

　　Under ideal conditions, this intelligent driving system of Deep Blue SL03i can make the vehicle travel from point A to point B automatically according to the route set by navigation. In this process, it can not only overtake the slow-moving vehicle, avoid danger, but also choose a better route independently. The experience is actually very close to automatic driving. However, it should be noted that under the current technical level and the requirements of laws and regulations, all functions are only auxiliary, and the driver can’t be the shopkeeper of cutting.

　　Specific to IACC-L, the operation of activating the system is very simple. When the vehicle drives to a road covered by a map, a steering wheel icon will pop up on the dashboard to remind you that you can turn on the function. After turning on, the vehicle can automatically drive according to the destination set by navigation. In actual use, the IACC-L startup operation of Deep Blue SL03i is quite simple. Like most cars, the system can be successfully activated by continuously dialing the electronic gear twice after being prompted, and the adjustment of the following distance and speed can be completed through the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel.

　　It is worth mentioning that in Chongqing, where traffic jams are frequent, when the driver turns on the function setting of high-speed pilot intelligent driving assistance or integrated adaptive endurance assistance, the gear will be the lowest gear "1st gear", so the following distance will be more in line with the driving habits of actual users. Officials say that the minimum following distance in this state can be controlled at 2m, and it is more difficult to be "jammed" by other vehicles.

　　The area covered by high-precision map on high-speed will display the red stamp of "NID" on the map, and when driving here, the system will automatically switch from IACC-L integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version to NID high-speed navigation assistance. Compared with the integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version, the biggest difference of this high-speed navigation aid is that it can realize automatic ramp up and down and route planning. On the expressway, its function is basically the same as that of automatic driving.

　　This system can automatically realize the self-adaptive cruise with lane centering and intelligent adjustment with the car, and realize automatic or commanded steering and intelligent deceleration by identifying speed limit signs in qualified corners. Its logic of judging and responding to the action of the preceding car is very old for drivers, so you don’t have to worry that any deceleration action of the preceding car will make your car have a huge nervous reaction.

　　Not all traffic participants on the road follow the rules. Facing the sudden sideways situation, the car can always try its best to avoid it at the first time. Deep blue SL03i can comfortably control the vehicle to slow down to a safe speed according to the speed limit signs appearing in tunnels/ramps/bends. Like an old driver, he will try his best to stick to the edge of the lane to make a smart shift, or try his best to brake and slow down, so as to prevent problems to the greatest extent, but he will never use the bypass to avoid obstacles.

　　The timing of intelligent lane change is optional, and it is cautious under standard conditions. When there is no car on the right rear, its lane change action is very textbook, and the timing and speed of lighting, turning and merging are very regular. However, in Chongqing, the car will only change lanes when the rear side is safe and the conditions are met. The threshold is similar to that of drivers who leave the novice period. The game is rather timid. In case of special circumstances, it will make timely corrections during the lane change process, keep a relative distance from the preceding car, and then accelerate the distance after completing the lane change.

　　When the speed of the preceding vehicle is too slow and there is road space on both sides, the system will judge the traffic situation and decide whether to change lanes and overtake. It is also optional. Under normal circumstances, its automatic lane change does not require a long safety margin, and the requirements for the distance between the front and rear vehicles on both sides of the lane are not great. The decision logic of the system is very human, and the timing is very human, and there will be no problem of frequent and urgent lane change.

　　Occasionally, on particularly congested roads, the logic of the system actually puts safety first. In the face of crowded congested roads and other vehicle drivers without zipper traffic habits, the system will occasionally appear indecisive, and the response of the system will appear a little twitchy. When the car is implemented, there will be a big swing or pitching action, but even the old driver will not be able to handle this scene well.

　　The system is also skilled in the choice of roads in and out of the ramp. According to the map and congestion, it will change to the exit lane in advance. When passing through the ramp, the overall response of the car is very decisive, and the speed will also drop to a reasonable range. The overall performance is very sophisticated, and it gives you enough confidence. You don’t have to worry about the problem that the curve with large curvature can’t turn around or snake back and forth in the lane to correct the driving direction.

　　In the case that the continuous off-ramp intersection may be missed continuously, deep blue SL03i can accurately judge the congestion intention of other cars, and can choose to slow down and yield independently on the premise of safety. Deep blue SL03i can monitor and predict the behavior of surrounding vehicles in real time during the process of traffic jam and the import and export of the intersection ramp, and always merge the vehicles as safely as possible until you are reminded that you must take over manually.

　　When passing through some ramps with narrow radians, the dark blue SL03i can also drive in and out very calmly, and the steering wheel turns silky all the time, and there is almost no line pressing, and the whole acceleration and deceleration are controlled properly, so as to avoid the uncomfortable feeling of the drivers and passengers pitching back and forth and swinging left and right, and bring users a smooth and stable driving experience.

　　The high-speed navigation system is based on the coverage of high-precision maps and services, and in areas not covered by high-precision maps, the system will automatically downgrade to the mode of integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version and remind drivers to be alert to safety, and then the integrated adaptive cruise enhanced version will automatically upgrade to high-speed navigation assistance as long as it drives into the road section with high-precision maps that meet the service coverage again.

　　Summary:For today’s experience, most of the time we experience is on the expressway or expressway in Chongqing. Although it seems simple, considering the complexity of Chongqing’s own traffic, it is really not a simple thing to handle such a scene well. The deep blue SL03i does ensure both safety and traffic efficiency in most of the time, which is quite surprising.

　　What needs to be considered is that, judging from this set of intelligent driving ability, its performance this time does not lose some models that focus on high-level intelligent driving at a price of 300,000 yuan, and even has certain advantages in details. Considering the starting price of Deep Blue SL03i, no matter which way it goes public in the future, the price will make technology equal, which is probably its greatest advantage.

Presumably, everyone knows the pre-sale price, 215,900 yuan, no more or less, just passing the edge of 200,000 yuan. Therefore, according to the popular "high opening and low walking" game in the pre-sale stage and the official listing stage, it is very likely that the starting price of Extreme Yue 07 will be lowered to about 190,000 yuan.

I won’t say much about the appearance configuration. Recently, it happened to be the Chengdu Auto Show. Friends who are free can go to the booth of the Extreme Vietnam to experience and consult. It just happened that this car is also here. Next, let’s go straight to the theme and discuss the core of Extreme Yue 07, which is also the core of this brand: AI Zhijia.

In fact, as early as two days before the Media Day of Chengdu Auto Show in 2024, Jiyue specially held a press conference to give a more comprehensive introduction to its current AI intelligent driving level, and I happened to participate.

At the meeting, Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Yue, first introduced the commonality between Extreme Yue and Radish Run. On the one hand, both of them are backed by Baidu, and on the other hand, everyone has L4 autopilot technology. But the difference is that Rapunzel is commercial, while Extreme Yue is domestic, so for Extreme Yue, this is the first time that L4 autonomous driving technology has empowered the family car market, which is of great significance to itself and the market.

So what do you think the family car equipped with L4 autonomous driving technology will look like? Is it like a radish running with a perception radar that is more in the way than the roof trunk, or is it like Weilai, with three bags at one head? Sorry, neither.

In their own words, they think that the system that mainly depends on "lidar+high-precision map+rule algorithm" is the classical intelligent driving, while "pure vision+end-to-end large model" is the new intelligent driving. Therefore, when Xia Yiping talked about the ASD link, in addition to the "APOLLP LP" marked with Baidu, he also marked the words "the only one in the world and the only one in China".

Indeed, in addition to Tesla’s FSD in the world, there are not many car companies that insist on adopting pure vision solutions, and even fewer can do it. If ASD can really run like a radish, and realize L4 automatic driving with pure vision scheme on private cars based on Apollo ADFM model, then it is indeed "the only one in the world and the only one in China", but the question is whether it can be done?

According to the function of the live demonstration at the press conference, whether it is high speed, city or obstacle stopping and avoiding, obstacle bypassing between lanes, parking in extremely narrow parking spaces, AEB ability, etc., the Extreme Yue 07 with ASD full of blood does have little difference from Huawei ADS 3.0, but it does not show its intelligent driving ability in rainy days, foggy days and other poor perception situations, which is exactly the essential difference between lidar and camera.

But I have to say that the price of ASD is really exciting and true conscience! Tesla’s FSD buyout is about 60 thousand yuan, while ASD is only about 30 thousand yuan, and the limited time period is only 4999 yuan. To tell the truth, this price can’t be installed with a laser radar, but it can directly buy out the high-order intelligent driving function of ASD’s complete set of pure vision solutions, so I don’t want to talk about it.

Generally speaking, whether ASD can completely replace the intelligent driving system under the laser radar scheme at present, with reference to the embarrassing situation of FSD abroad, I personally think it remains to be verified. However, as one of the few car companies in China that adopt the pure vision intelligent driving scheme, the more capable they are, the more they are.

In the automotive industry, Volkswagen LaVida is undoubtedly an influential representative model, which has won the favor of many consumers with its excellent performance and wide market recognition. Today, we have reached a brand-new milestone-The official release of Volkswagen LaVida Plus, the price range is set at 115,900 to 162,900, which makes people look forward to it.

Compared with the old model,The innovation of LaVida Plus is that it adopts Volkswagen’s latest MQB platform, which means that the structure and electronic system have been significantly improved.Externally, the brand-new design language gives it a more fashionable style.The large-size air intake grille is integrated with headlights, showing a more dynamic temperament.The improvement of tail details, such as the addition of electroplating decorative strips, adds a sense of exquisiteness, and the visual effect is more exquisite than the old model.

"Plus" is not only reflected in the name, but also the increase in body size is more significant. The length, width, height and wheelbase have been improved by 65mm and 78mm respectively, which makes the vehicle lines smoother and the interior space significantly improved.In terms of interiors, although the simple style of the public has been maintained,Adjustment and layout optimization of central control panel, making the operation more convenient and the function division more clear.

In terms of configuration, the new car is equipped with practical functions such as 6 airbags, 8-inch central control LCD screen, and intelligent driving assistance systems such as automatic parking and electronic handbrake, which meet the needs of modern consumers for safety and convenience.In terms of power, LaVida Plus switched to 1.5L and 1.4T engines.Among them, the 1.4T version with 7-speed powershift has an output power of 150 HP and a peak torque of 250 Nm, showing a balance between power and efficiency.

howeverWhether the new LaVida Plus can continue the sales myth of LaVida depends on consumers’ recognition and choice of new models.Let’s look forward to the surprise and performance brought by this new car in the market.
