Yam Tat-wah; Simon Yam

　　In the face of a "gangster" who has acted in more than 160 movies and more than 2,000 TV series, and can still eat with charm and eyes at the age of 52, you can’t help but feel awe. In the early morning of the 6th, Yam Tat-wah, who just got off the plane, accepted an exclusive interview with this newspaper in a suite of 8,000 yuan a night. During the nearly two-hour chat, except for a "violent" lock breaking incident because she forgot the suitcase password, Yam Tat-wah was so gentle. Just like when he spoke for Zhonglong International Royal Seal Real Estate at the press conference the next day, the host mistook him for Andy Lau (listening to music), and he didn’t take out a gun from the inside pocket of his suit. And when you see him take out a schedule filled out by himself, accurate to the hour, you may even think that he is so old-fashioned in life, but this is Yam Tat-wah’s real off-stage life.

　　Become famous and never forget your roots. Never eat abalone or bird’s nest.

　　Yam Tat-wah told reporters openly that his family was poor in childhood and adolescence. He lost his father when he was 11 years old. His mother took three children to live in a crowded corridor, and 30 families shared five bathrooms. In addition to studying, Yam Tat-wah also helps her mother string beads and make plastic flowers to subsidize her family. "The only entertainment is to watch a black-and-white TV at home. At that time, I really want to become a TV person." But the opportunity came at once. In the first year of middle school, Yam Tat-wah saw an advertisement for a model in the newspaper. He usually loves sports and has a strong figure. He signed up and was lucky to be selected. "I remember it was an advertisement for soda. I drank three bottles and passed, and the reward was only 200 yuan. Although it is a supporting role, so many models are popular with me, so happy. " Since then, more and more businesses have started to find Yam Tat-wah, and he can afford his own tuition. Yam Tat-wah’s life today has always been influenced by his childhood. For example, he never eats abalone and bird’s nest. "I tell people around me that it’s useless to eat those every day. I am a person with rice feelings. I must eat a dish every day-tofu, which is nutritious and cheap. I like vegetables and eggs, which is cheap and beautiful." The "boss" who is very affectionate has not been alienated from the friends who lived in the corridor in the past. "We have to get together several times a year."

　　When you are popular, you still insist on sacrificing yourself to achieve various roles.

　　Yam Tat-wah said several times in the interview that he was very lucky. In 1979, he got a leading role to play the police. "I have always respected the police in my life, and as long as I put on my uniform, the feeling of the police will come out, and I don’t have to play. You can never play like Stephen Chow, even if you play a funny policeman. " Asked repeatedly why there was such a strong police complex, Yam Tat-wah revealed that his father and brother were both policemen, and that "the death of my father was also an accident on business". And his brother Ren Darong is now a senior official of the Hong Kong Police Force. However, Yam Tat-wah said that his brother never commented on his gangster films. Yam Tat-wah also said that in fact, he is more looking forward to playing the police than the murderous gangster boss. "There is no way, I am like a fruit in a fruit bowl, and I will sacrifice myself to achieve various roles." Some people say that Hong Kong’s entertainment industry is now in an era of neglect, and the new generation of Nicholas Tse (listening to music) and Daniel Wu always give people the feeling that they can’t take over. Yam Tat-wah said that this will happen everywhere. "It’s not that they are not good, but that they don’t stick to it well. For example, some of my friends who were very popular more than 20 years ago don’t know where they are now, but look, Du Qifeng and Chow Yun Fat (listening to music) are all insisting, and there are young actors who want to make good movies, so don’t overdo it. Some things come too fast, so we should know how to cherish and enjoy them. "

　　Happy family will send her daughter to Beijing to study in the future.

　　Yam Tat-wah and his wife, Sophia Kao, one is an actor and the other is a supermodel, who are playing the romantic myth like a fairy couple in the entertainment circle. Yam Tat-wah said with a smile that he had been unrequited for two years before pursuing Sophia Kao. "Love at first sight, hard to chase. I saw Sophia Kao’s photo in a magazine, and I had the idea of making her my wife. But asking questions, no one knows where she is. I looked at the photos for two years, but I finally met her in an Austrian hotel. At that time, I invited her to have dinner with her parents. How do you make it clear about fate? " Now they have a lovely three-year-old daughter, Ren Qingjia. "Being a father is different. I am tired every day, and I smile at my daughter when I get home." He likes buying houses all over the country, and even bought a suite in her name when her daughter was one year old, and planned to use it as her residence when she was studying in Beijing in the future. Yam Tat-wah said that he would never send his daughter abroad to study: "The capital has a cultural atmosphere and historical sites, so why should it be sent out? My Mandarin is still not standard, please ask the teacher to teach, but my daughter’s first language is Mandarin and she speaks Mandarin. " Yam Tat-wah, who is eager to love her daughter, also said that children should not go their own way. "It is too hard to be an actor, and the EQ is very high to perform the trick well. Of course, if she likes it when she grows up, there is no way. I can only teach it by myself."

　　Link will personally decorate his home in Changsha.

　　This time, Yam Tat-wah made a special trip to Changsha, mainly to speak for Zhonglong International Royal Seal in the real estate project. Yam Tat-wah said that he has invested in properties all over the world, such as Manhattan 58th Street in new york, the second district in Paris, Central in Hong Kong and New World Business District in Beijing, totaling more than 20 places. Yam Tat-wah, who has become a real estate expert, said that he pays great attention to the grade and taste of real estate, and will never speak casually. "This endorsement of Zhonglong International Royal Seal, in addition to my satisfaction with the remuneration, I also bought a house myself. I have learned in detail that the central lake is 6000 square meters, and specially designed elevator buttons, smart cards for the elderly and children, spacious apartment space of 180 square meters to more than 500 square meters and perfect educational configuration. No matter the structure, texture, taste or humanistic environment of the house, it is very humanized. To be honest, this kind of property may not be possible even in Hong Kong. " Yam Tat-wah also said that this is also his first house in Changsha, and he likes to design and decorate his own mansion himself. In addition, Yam Tat-wah, who has been fascinated by photography for many years, said that he will come to Changsha again in a few months, and hold an exhibition of his own photography works in the newly-built clubhouse of Zhonglong International Royal Seal to communicate with fans in Changsha.

Editor: Liu Liyan

After Brazil reached the World Cup quarter-finals, I believe all Brazilian fans around the world share my feelings: it’s been 20 years, and it’s finally dawn.

Don’t think that abusing South Korea is nothing. Now the South Korean team is no longer Amon. Looking at today’s football, no team except Brazil can win so brutally, thoroughly and heartily against South Korea. France can’t, England can’t, and Argentina can’t, but Brazil, which vowed to win for Pele, who is seriously ill, can.

Being a Brazilian fan is a very unique experience. On the one hand, it is very cool. Every World Cup is a favorite to win the championship, and there are warm expectations every four years. On the other hand, it’s very painful, because Brazil always fails if it doesn’t win the World Cup, but winning the World Cup requires not only strength, but also various coincidences, so more often, Brazilian fans will end their mental journey of the World Cup in disappointment.

Brazil has not won the championship for 20 years. What happened to the Brazilian team in these 20 years? Let me give you a brief stroke.

In 2006, Brazil claimed to be the strongest in nearly 40 years. However, arrogant soldiers are bound to lose. Please go back to the iron coach Pereira, who can’t relax put in order’s tactical discipline. When Henry beat Brazil, Carlos, the world’s number one left-back, was tying his shoelaces. Let us remember this little bald head that makes people love and hate.

In 2010, Brazil, with dim stars but strong integrity, was the only team that ever beat Spain in the Confederations Cup. In the knockout against the Netherlands, it not only took the lead, but also completely controlled the situation. However, a guy named Melo suddenly went crazy, making an own goal before a red card. Let’s remember the name Melo.

In the 14th and 18th World Cups, Brazil really can’t do it. Neymar is the only one who makes waves in the attack line. In 2014, Neymar and Tiago were absent, and in 2018, the two main full-backs were absent. However, these are not the main reasons for being eliminated, because from beginning to end, the Brazilian team did not show the dominance that the champions should have. The midfielder who wore the No.10 jersey in the 14th World Cup was Oscar, the one who later joined the Super League. He was a typical diligent organizer at Chelsea, diligent? What is the difference between this and swearing? Let’s remember the name Oscar, the worst midfield organizer in Brazilian history. The striker arrow of the 18th World Cup is Jesus, the one who just retired due to injury. His retirement is definitely good for Brazil. He may be an excellent striker in other teams, but he can only be regarded as a loser in Brazil. Let us remember the name Jesus, the worst striker arrow in Brazilian history.

Brazil’s group match was 2 wins and 1 loss, and it didn’t sweep all the way, but why is Brazil considered the biggest favourite to win the championship? Because Brazil only played Serbia in the first game and South Korea in the fourth game, not only the top star Neymar was absent due to injury, but even other players left half their strength.

Playing Serbia, Brazil showed the ability to control the field, basically did not let Serbia have any strength to fight back, and finally defeated this potential dark horse in many people’s hearts 3-0; Facing South Korea in the first match of the knockout, it is an all-round display of offensive firepower. I can say responsibly that this Brazilian team is stronger than the champion team led by 3R in 2002. Brazil beat China 4-0, but now this Brazilian team only needs half time to beat South Korea 4-0. If it doesn’t take the initiative to stop, a bloody case may happen at any time.

How strong is this Brazilian team? So strong that they don’t need full-back assists anymore. As we all know, the Brazilian team has never lacked epic full-backs. At present, the main full-backs in Brazil are Danilo and Sandro, which are not the top players in the world and far from the ability of Carlos and Cafu. The substitutes behind them are Alves, who spent nearly forty years brushing data with soy sauce, and Telles, who went home because of injury. In recent decades, looking around the world, we have almost never seen such a "greedy" full-back. When Brazil played offensive football, these two full-backs never forgot their responsibilities as defenders, and they managed the defense wholeheartedly. Wang Shenchao and Wang Gang of the national football team were more active in attacking than Brazil.

Why do Brazilian full-backs seldom take part in the attack? Because of three words: no need. There are as many as nine strikers in Brazil this time. Except for Jesus and Richarlyson, the other seven have winger attributes, and even Richarlyson made his debut as a winger. The winger is almost the answer to the version of football in this era. Brazil has so many wingers and all of them are excellent. The last guy is Anthony, and Manchester United spent 100 million yuan to buy him. You said, why do you need a full-back assist?

In fact, Brazil has not won the championship for 20 years, largely because Brazil has been short of excellent attackers since Ronaldinho retired. I don’t know when Brazil’s most sought-after players in Europe are divided into three categories, the first category is goalkeepers, the second category is central defenders, and the third category is engineers’ midfielders who do dirty work. The homogenization of Brazil’s talents is similar to that of Spain and Germany, which can’t find a center, so they have been tossing the ball around in the middle and back court.

This phenomenon has a lot to do with the tactical changes brought about by the last 24-year World Cup in Brazil. During those 24 years, Brazilian attack experts emerged one after another, attacking beautifully and defending bean curd dregs. After learning from a painful experience, Brazil began to focus on cultivating defensive engineers and redefining tactical discipline.

Brazil won the championship in 1994 and in 2002, which are essentially the same. The first time was a big shovel with romario and Bei Beituo in front and dirty work behind it, and the last time was a big shovel with 3R in front and dirty work behind it. The reason why this match can be established is that the big shovel for doing dirty work in Brazil is different from that in other countries. The big shovel in other countries is a pure engineer, and all Brazilian players have excellent ball-throwing ability, ball control ability and organization ability. Brazil’s big shovel, which won the championship twice, is more capable of threading the needle than English epic midfielder Steven Gerrard, such as gilberto silva.

However, no matter how offensive and defensive the back is, it is absolutely impossible without the arrow of the front line. In recent ten years, except for Neymar, other attackers in Brazil are really bad. Until this World Cup cycle, Brazil finally ushered in a blowout of attacking talents. Today, the reserve of Brazilian attackers is second only to the quintet of Ronaldinho, Kaka, Robinho and Adriano in 2006. However, that Brazilian team was eliminated by France long ago. When it beat Ghana 3-0 in the first round of the knockout round, there was no whole, and the tactical content was extremely poor. Now the overall cohesion of the Brazilian team is extremely tight.

Of course, Brazil also has rivals in winning the World Cup. The strongest opponent this year is still France, which not only plays well, but also is the natural enemy of Brazil.

Since the 1980s, Brazil has been defeated by France in the World Cup, and fell to France in 1986, 1998 and 2006. The French team has a solid footwork, tight defense in the center and backcourt, and at the same time, there is no shortage of skills and attack experts at the foot, which really beats Brazil in style. However, due to the absence of Kantor and Bogba, the French team changed its attack route. Although Mbappé was in a state of explosion and Gleizman became an excellent organizer, Brazil really didn’t like this type of France, and the two sides were still 60% sure of playing Brazil.

Thankfully, after a lapse of 20 years, the World Cup has returned to Asia. As the only "football kingdom" in the world, Brazil has also seen the possibility of returning to the top. By the way, do you remember those names just now? Melo, Oscar and Jesus, if you are not an Arsenal fan this season, you may have forgotten these names again, because although these players once represented Brazil in the World Cup, they never shocked people from their achievements to their playing methods. Even if they wore Brazil’s bright yellow shirts, they would not leave too many memories in the hearts of fans.

Football fans support a team and want nothing more than two things: excellent results and beautiful games, which are exactly what Brazil must have at the same time when it wins the World Cup.

That’s why we can remember the gorgeous representatives of Brazil: Ronaldo with a lucky head, Ronaldinho who cheated the English goalkeeper Seaman, Roberto Carlos whose thigh circumference is thicker than anyone else, and of course, Brazil’s eukaryotic Neymar now;

That’s why, I will also remember those tough backbones of Brazil: Taffarel, who is not well known, Dunga, who is not handsome, and thiago silva, who is now an old and strong captain.

There is only one Brazilian team in the world, but Brazil has more than one kind of football content. In 2022, Brazil in Qatar may not present the world wave that Ronaldinho did at the beginning, but they will always have a wonderful volley side hook like Richarlyson, and at the same time defend their own goal with tough defense and tough confrontation.

So 20 years later, when the World Cup returns to Asia, we seem to see the excellent hope that the World Cup will return to Brazil. Especially when they pull out the banner of "Fight for Bailey", so that more people are willing to stand behind them. There is already a king in heaven, so let another one stay with us for a while on earth.

The World Cup needs Brazilian football, and the world needs Brazilian football more.

As the year approaches, I believe we are most concerned about two things: First, the A shares that have repeatedly fallen below 2,800 points have made China investors "lose their shorts"; second, whether the annual meeting and the year-end bonus will be "a fart year" as Wang Jianlin said, or "don’t give up hope even if you lose everything in the secondary market, after all, there is still a tertiary market".

The good news is that according to the data released by the national statistics department, the gross domestic product (GDP) of China reached 126.06 trillion yuan in 2023, up 5.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 2.2 percentage points faster than that of 2022.

In addition, the National Bureau of Statistics released the domestic consumption data for the whole year of 2023. From January to December 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods was 47,149.5 billion yuan, an increase of 7.2% over the previous year. Among them, the retail sales of cosmetics was 414.2 billion yuan, up 5.1%, and the growth rate of cosmetics market did not outperform the market.

At the end of January, 2024, listed beauty companies at home and abroad released their 2023 financial reports and performance forecasts one after another. C2CC Media’s "Counting Beauty" column counted the relevant financial report data, and found that for domestic beauty companies, profit growth and turning losses into profits are the main melody melody, but it seems that profit growth can’t save the bleak capital market, while international beauty companies are mixed. Behind the performance growth, it is more through "price increase strategy" to offset the continuation of product sales.

We can also spy from the import and export data released by the General Administration of Customs in 2023. From January to December 2023, the total import and export value was 41.76 trillion yuan, up 0.2% year-on-year, of which the quantity and amount of cosmetics showed a double downward trend. From January to December, the import of beauty cosmetics and toiletries was 358,600 tons, down 14.2% year-on-year, and the total import value was 126.02 billion yuan, down 15.2% year-on-year.

01 domestic beauty listed companies: growth is the main theme.
