"Forever Xiaoqian" Although Wang Zuxian has been out of the movie for 19 years and has long settled in Vancouver to live the days of idle clouds and wild cranes, his every move still attracts attention.

After all Port Circle Muse in Glory Period, that year’s " The most beautiful woman in Asia"Even if he has been out of the entertainment industry for many years, Wang Zuxian’s popularity has not diminished at all.

Recently, some netizens posted a video of Wang Zuxian appearing at a Vancouver temple with white flowers in hand.

In the video, she still has long hair fluttering, wearing a white top with a lotus root pink dress. Wang Zuxian, who has not applied Fendai, is dressed elegantly and has a pure and refined temperament like a girl.

In the spring, Vancouver is lush and green, and the leaves are glowing with new green. Wang Zuxian walked towards the Buddha statue in the temple with the white flowers in full bloom in his hands, and reverently offered the flowers in front of the Buddha.

After that, she opened the scriptures again and recited them in front of the Buddha statue, looking safe. Although the first generation of Muse has been relegated to the rolling red dust, they have actually lived a peaceful life without being disturbed by the world…

Exotic, Zen temple. The female star who was once popular all over Asia and was so beautiful that she put down the Vanity Fair of the entertainment industry, and also put down the love that was once sensational, unforgettable, and obsessed with nearly 20 years.

At this moment, the sun is shining brightly, the breeze is blowing, and enjoying the time with the Buddha, flowers, and scriptures should be beautiful.

Many netizens said that after watching this video, they seemed to have been infected. Looking at Wang Zuxian’s figure walking safely between the temples, his impulsive mood seemed to gradually calm down.

Perhaps, in that calm figure, there is still a power to cleanse the soul.

In 2004, Wang Zuxian announced his retirement after filming the movie "Beautiful Shanghai" and turned around to return home.

For nearly 20 years, she has lived a comfortable fairy life in seclusion in Vancouver. And those The lively fragrance that was once related to her has also become a memory of an era that is out of print for many people…

In recent times, her every appearance seemed to be related to temples, puja meetings, and other elements.

Although he only wore simple Buddhist clothes to worship Buddha, he was still incredibly beautiful.

Some netizens praised her for her calm and tranquil face, and her temperament was as otherworldly as hibiscus. Even if she stood with the students around her, she had no sense of age incompatibility.

In May last year, some netizens posted a screenshot of Wang Zuxian’s video in Dawen Lingyan Mountain Temple. Among all living beings, she is still the one with a detached temperament and a full sense of girlhood.

During the Spring Festival this year, Wang Zuxian also attended a Chinese gathering in Greater Vancouver. When speaking on stage, he choked up several times.

Wang Zuxian was supposed to be attending a Buddhist-related event that day. In the photo, she was wearing a brown sweater + black coat with beige loose trousers and flats. Her simple dress was very low-key, and she was dressed like a passer-by around her.

However, Muse is Muse after all, and Wang Zuxian still looks very temperamental even without Fendai.

That day, her thick long hair was scattered at the back of her head, and the N95 mask was worn tightly, but even if it was a high-paste photo, she could still see that her eyebrows were delicate and her fairy energy was fluttering.

However, Wang Zuxian’s speech that day was really surprising. It could be said that he "exposed" a little secret that no one knew.

And she said, " In fact, I have been in the entertainment industry for a long time, but my space is very small".

Wang Zuxian choked up several times when she spoke on stage. She said, There was a time when my circle in Vancouver was very narrow and I had no friends, so I almost gave up on myselfFortunately, I persevered, and I am very grateful and fortunate to have met these current partners.

In 2019, Wang Zuxian converted to Buddhism under the Dharma name "Xingjue layman" and led his practice.

As early as 2016, when asked about her feelings, she said: " Everything is blank, my feelings are gone before my death, and they will be blank in the future"…"

"It’s over before I die!" All the love and hate that used to be buried in the ground, it seems like a lifetimeFor Wang Zuxian himself, maybe those past events have really been let go

After quitting the entertainment industry full of temptation and desire, Wang Zuxian gave up his identity as a first-line female star. During his more than ten years in Vancouver, he seemed to have really begun to live for himself.

Once a superstar, she is no longer attached to her beauty, and she can actually release her high definition photos without filters and beauty with confidence.

This Spring Festival, Wang Zuxian sent a recent photo to everyone to pay New Year’s greetings.In the photo, she is sitting leisurely on her sofa, with long hair hanging down her shoulders and a headband, revealing her entire face without hesitation.

Not only that, Wang Zuxian’s clothes are also very homely.She was dressed in a dark knitted sweater and had no makeup at all.The true appearance caused many netizens to exclaim.

As usual, public opinion was a bit harsh on Muse.

Many netizens said that they were stunned at first glance at the photo. Is this still Wang Zuxian? It’s like a different person. "I can’t see it’s Wang Zuxian at all", "I can’t recognize it"!

But you know, Wang Zuxian is already 56 years old. Who will not grow old? But how many people have had the peerless style like her when they were young?

Today’s Wang Zuxian seems to have completely ignored fashion. She said that life is for herself, how to feel comfortable, " I’m not a saint.Everyone gets old, just enjoy life"…"

And when he helped his friend Li Ruotong promote the new book, he also emphasized again: "Life is never defined by others, we all have to live well."

Indeed, Wang Zuxian under the screen has his own life. No matter what, we all wish Muse’s life better and better.

Abstract:2017 Spring Festival Box OfficeNew highs,With a perfect finish of 3.336 billion yuan,An increase of 8% over last year. The number of moviegoers also reached 88.11 million, a slight increase over 2016. Among them, "Journey to the West to Fighting Demons" swallowed 1.153 billion yuan and became the box office champion of the Spring Festival. "Kung Fu Yoga" 872 million, "572 million" Havoc in Tianzhu "," Riding the Wind and Waves "412 million, ranked second to fourth in this year’s Spring Festival box office rankings.

1905Movie Network News 2017The Chinese Lunar Year of the Rooster has ushered in a good start for the mainland film market. According to preliminary statistics, from1month27New Year’s Eve2month2On the sixth day of the new year, the shadow market is swallowed in 7 days33.36100 million yuan, more than last year’s Spring Festival30.8The box office increased by 8.3 billion.%…33The figure of 100 million has once again broken the Spring Festival record, and there is no doubt that the Lunar Year of the Rooster has become the strongest Spring Festival record in history.

　

"Westward Journey to Fighting Demons",,, and five new films that opened on the first day of the new year have achieved quite bright results. They have respectively harvested 1.153 billion, 872 million, 572 million, 412 million and 297 million box office, leading the Spring Festival file. It is worth mentioning that since the fourth day of the new year, Jackie Chan’s "Kung Fu Yoga" has pulled down the biggest hit "Westward Journey to Fighting Demons" produced by Stephen Chow and directed by Tsui Hark, and has become the single-day box office champion for three consecutive days.

　

In addition, the cumulative box office of cartoons that opened on February 1 reached 10.02 million. Those that opened on January 27 performed poorly, and only received 13.52 million yuan in box office after 7 days of release.

　

"Journey to the West" broke the record of the first day of gold 1.10 billion, but the explosion was counterattacked by "Kung Fu Yoga"

　

Following last year, Zhou Xingchi, Guo Zijian directed, Zhou Xingchi supervised the film "Westward Journey to Fighting Demons" this Spring Festival and came out on top, the first day of the new year to attract money 353 million (including zero single-day box office for 365 million), broke the dust for two years, by April 2015 set a box office record of 345 million yuan (the film contains zero single-day box office for 398 million), sitting on the throne of the first-day box office champion in our country’s film history. At the same time, "Westward Journey to Fighting Demons" also defeated "Mermaid" and became our country’s fastest breaking 200 million and fastest breaking 300 million movie. Ultimately, the film was swallowed 1.153 billion yuan at the box office during the Spring Festival.

　

"Journey to the West" no suspense to lead the Spring Festival file, but surprisingly, the film box office has been declining, from the first to the sixth day of the new year, "Journey to the West" were reported 353 million, 215 million, 179 million, 145 million, 130 million and 116 million. The previously less optimistic action comedy film "Kung Fu Yoga" has been making great progress, in the Spring Festival holiday respectively 137 million, 126 million, 141 million, 148 million, 160 million and 153 million, the box office not only rose steadily, but also from January 31st on the fourth day of the new year, for three consecutive days to surpass "Journey to the West", the sudden counterattack became the single-day box office champion, leading the second half of the Spring Festival file.

　

In the end, "Kung Fu Yoga" reached 872 million yuan in the six days of the Spring Festival, 280 million behind "Journey to the West" and ranked second in the Spring Festival box office. However, on the first day of work after the Spring Festival on February 3, "Kung Fu Yoga" still received 25% of the pre-arranged films, and "Journey to the West" won the first place in the row. The follow-up box office of "Kung Fu Yoga" also continued to rise.

　

Four films kept pace and led the Spring Festival file "Havoc in Tianzhu" fell all the way, and the reputation of "Riding the Wind and Waves" rose

　

In addition to "Journey to the West to Fighting Demons", Wang Baoqiang’s directorial debut "Havoc in Tianzhu" can be said to be the most concerned film during the Spring Festival, but after the film was released, word-of-mouth hit the street, resulting in a high box office opening and low box office. 187 million, 114 million, 88.843 million, 67.723 million, 58.214 million, 49.773 million yuan, the box office trend of "Havoc in Tianzhu" from January 28 to February 2 is obviously insufficient stamina. From the second day of the new year, "Havoc in Tianzhu" was surpassed by "Kung Fu Yoga", and on the fourth day of the new year, it was pressed by Han Han’s second big screen work "Riding the Wind and Waves". From the third to the sixth day of the new year, the single-day box office was less than 100 million yuan, and the film also fell from the runner-up in the single-day

　

The most controversial film in the Spring Festival is "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves". This time, Han Han once again challenged the big screen, but he did not expect to bear the charges of "straight male cancer", "giant baby" and other values. The film was also boycotted by Xu Jiao and other star companies on Weibo. At the beginning of its release, the film did not perform well. It only received 67.66 million yuan at the box office on the day of its opening, which is far from "Journey to the West", "Havoc in Tianzhu", and "Kung Fu Yoga". However, with the word-of-mouth fermentation of "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves", the film has also been affirmed by the audience. Since the third day of the new year, the box office has been growing all the way, and "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" has also harvested 412 million yuan at the box office in

　

Last year’s Spring Festival file, "Mermaid" was a big one, followed by, forming a triangular pattern. This year’s Spring Festival file did not have an absolute explosion, but formed a situation where the four films of "Journey to the West", "Kung Fu Yoga", "Havoc in Tianzhu" and "Riding the Wind and Waves" were neck and neck. The four films also joined forces to cut off 3.006 billion box office in the Spring Festival file, accounting for 90% of the total box office of this year’s Spring Festival file.

　

In addition, also on the first day of the new year, the cartoon "Bear Haunted · Fantasy Space" has accumulated box office 297 million during the Spring Festival. In order to avoid blockbusters, the "released one day in advance" has only received 13.53 million yuan at the box office as of February 2, and the results are quite dismal. The animated film "", which opened on February 1, received 10.02 million in two days.

　

The Spring Festival file has grown for ten consecutive years, and the Year of the Rooster has set a new record. On the first day of the new year in 2017, the box office broke the 800 million mark

As soon as the Lunar Year of the Rooster opened in 2017, the Chinese film market ushered in a good start. On January 28, the first day of the new year created a new record for the single-day box office in our country’s film history. On the same day, the market reported 803 million, which was 160 million yuan higher than the single-day box office of 646 million yuan on the first day of the new year last year, an increase of 24%. The New Year’s Spring Festival has always been a lucky day for our country’s box office, and has been growing rapidly for more than 5 years. In 2012, our country’s single-day box office during the Spring Festival was only 61 million. On the first day of the new year in 2013, the single-day box office during the Spring Festival broke through the billion yuan mark for the first time. In just 5 years, to the 2017 Lunar Year of the Rooster, the single-day box office during the

　

In addition to the super high box office on the first day of the new year, the box office trend from the second to the sixth day of the new year is also relatively stable, maintaining a single day at around 500 million yuan, which will also bring the total box office of the Spring Festival file this year (January 27-February 2) to a high point of 3.33 billion yuan, an increase of 8.3% over last year. In 2008, our country’s total box office of the Spring Festival file broke through 100 million for the first time. At that time, there were only 115 million, which was not enough for the single-day box office of "Journey to the West". In 2014, our country’s Spring Festival file broke out, soaring 81%. The box office of the Spring Festival file also broke through the 1 billion yuan mark for the first time, reaching a historic 1.466 billion. Two years later, the box office of the Spring Festival file has jumped from 1.82 billion to 3.08 billion last year.

　

Up to now, our country’s Spring Festival box office has increased for ten consecutive years. During this decade, the total box office of the Spring Festival file has increased by 28 times, which is quite impressive. This year, the Spring Festival file has reached a new level, and the box office has exceeded 3.33 billion in 7 days. There is no doubt that 2017 has also become the strongest Spring Festival file in our country’s film history.

　　His name is Lu Jichun, a 51-year-old food delivery rider from Hangzhou, Hunan Province. He has no father, mother, wife and children, and only delivers food in Hangzhou with three nephews. Late last month, he had an accident while delivering food, which caused brain death.

　　At the last moment, relatives made a difficult decision to donate all his "life-saving organs" – heart, liver, and kidneys. His life began to continue in the four strangers.

　　The operating room suddenly quieted down, leaving only the dripping sound of the vital signs monitor. The shadowless lamp illuminated the 51-year-old Lu Jichun’s face, which was dark, rough, and had obvious color differences on his body, which were traces of sunlight and wind and frost. He lay quietly, as if he was rushing to finish a day of takeout and needed a long rest.

　　This is the final story of his life, and we have recorded them one by one.

　　Last Goodbye

　　Healthcare workers stood in two lines, bowing their heads in silence.

　　"Time of death, [August 7] 8:56," Hu Yinghong, director of the Department of Brain Critical Care Medicine of the Second Zhejiang Medical Hospital, announced.

　　The fresh and warm hope will replace Lu Jichun in a race against time. The cornea is moved into the eye bank, and then, in a few hours, his organs flow to four patients in the next operating rooms –

　　A 61-year-old uremic patient was found to have elevated creatinine for 6 years and hemodialysis for 2 years.

　　A patient with renal insufficiency who started dialysis in November last year was only 32 years old.

　　A 52-year-old aunt, hepatitis B cirrhosis for more than ten years, ascites, lower limb edema made her miserable;

　　A 61-year-old aunt, whose family had planned to give up a heart transplant, finally decided to take a gamble at 9 p.m. on the 6th. "Otherwise, my mother would only have a few months to live," her daughter said in tears.

　　Before being pushed into the operating room, on the morning of the 7th, less than 8 o’clock, more than 20 relatives came to bid farewell to Lu Jichun. There were only a few minutes left to meet. Some people leaned against Lu Jichun’s bed and sobbed; some people called Lao Lu’s name softly, as if exhorting or confiding. A few juniors gathered outside the ward to comfort the elderly.

　　On the afternoon of the 7th, Lu Jichun’s body was cremated at the Hangzhou Funeral Home. At midnight yesterday, the spirit car carried his ashes and rushed to his hometown, Pingcha Town, Hunan, thousands of miles away.

　　The Gift of Life

　　On the evening of July 23, during the evening rush hour, Lu Jichun, who was driving westward on an electric bicycle and rushing to deliver flowers and egg buns, suddenly fell alone on the east motorway at the intersection of Wenyi West Road and Gudun Road, causing severe craniocerebral injury.

　　In addition to three nephews and nieces who delivered food in Hangzhou like Lu Jichun, more than 20 relatives came from their hometown in Hunan and other places. The Lu family consulted brain surgeons in several hospitals, and the final results were disappointing. They visited Lu Jichun every day, talked to him, touched him, "Why did this happen to you?" Tears fell on his arm.

　　From the doctor’s mouth, the family members were persuaded to donate organs. This term, which had been heard before, suddenly came like the bad news of Lu Jichun’s death.

　　Generally speaking, brain-dead patients have higher organ quality than heart-dead patients. This is a gift of life, said Ling Hui, the organ donation coordinator of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Zhejiang Province and the organ tissue acquisition office of the Second Zhejiang Medical Hospital. Subconsciously, the sisters’ hearts skipped a beat. They didn’t want Lu Jichun to suffer more on his last journey.

　　In 2018, China’s organ donation rate of one million people reached 6.8%. This figure is already 226 times higher than in 2010, but it is still in short supply due to technical barriers, traditional concepts, and talent gaps. In the popular sense, people think that donation means lofty; but to some extent, lofty is also a "NIMBY effect": people will praise and respect in their mouth, but make a dash in their heart – it is best for others to complete this lofty. In Ling Hui’s past experience, failure and cold eyes are the norm.

　　Relatives’ decision

　　Lu Jichun’s life was re-examined on the scales. At the age of 51, he had experienced the loss of his father and mother, and he had not even been able to have a marriage and was alone. Because of the short age and long loneliness, it made people feel even more unwilling and worthless at this moment.

　　How does an ordinary person prove that he has lived in the world? Very few people will write books and praise ordinary people. What ordinary people leave behind in the end may be a tombstone, a child, and some photos. Obviously, their names will eventually be erased, and it is very difficult to fight against oblivion.

　　Organ and tissue donation, for now, looks like the best continuation, "as if his eyes are still blinking and his heart is still beating," said Lu Suzhen, the fourth sister, even if she doesn’t know who it is or where she lives.

　　Behind the recipient was a family. The family thought that, to some extent, those families were like Lu Jichun’s "family". Those healthy bodies would replace him and give him the warmth he had never had before.

　　As expected, his niece Chen Xiaodi, who was closest to him, cried the most. Someone said at the top of his voice, "Uncle is dead, can’t you let him be selfish?!"

　　"If he was still sober and knew that his organs could save people, he would have made the same decision," Ms. Lu said, as a family with the same feelings but the opposite ideas reached a hard-won consensus on organ donation.

　　Chen Xiaodi finally said with a hard heart, you decide, I neither support nor oppose it.

　　Ling Hui explained the process, she hid in the next room and couldn’t come out. Vaguely heard inside, Lu Suzhen asked in a trembling voice, "After you take the organs, can you sew them better?" Ling Hui quickly said, "No problem, we will return him to you cleanly."

　　Hu Yinghong said that after a patient’s brain death, if the heart, kidneys, liver, cornea and other organs and tissues are well maintained, the patient and his family can donate organs for transplantation if they are completely voluntary. When the life cycle switches, when healthcare workers bow in silence in front of Lu Jichun’s body, next door, the red light is on "during the operation", the recipient enters the state of anesthesia, and everything is ready.

　　Just as Lu Jichun ran hard for a takeout to be delivered on time, doctors are also people who race against time. There is no obvious watershed between the height of life and the intensity of life.

　　Just like a river hugging another river, one life died, but soon flowed to four other lives. They will replace Lu Jichun and live well.

　　The last takeaway order that was not delivered

　　Another ordinary, non-stop weekday evening peak. On July 23rd, the solar term was hot, and in the evening, the road surface vented the last power of the high temperature, and the sunset and street lamps gradually released brilliance. The takeaway order showed that at 17:33, Lu Jichun clicked on the meal and set off from Luojiazhuang. He was holding a bouquet of flowers for 78 yuan, with bright red roses and snow-white lilies; another egg-packed rice for 40.8 yuan was golden and hot.

　　Four minutes later, Lu Jichun, who was riding an electric bicycle to the west, suddenly fell alone in the east motorway at the intersection of Wenyi West Road and Gudun Road, causing severe craniocerebral injury.

　　He failed to deliver the last takeaway order.

　　This was originally a rushed and ordinary day for him.

　　On July 23rd, in a rented house in Chengzhong Village, west of the city, around 2 am, in the dim, Sun Chen, who was sleeping on the bottom bunk, heard that his uncle was back. Next, the water boiled; the tin foil of the packaging bags and material bags was torn open; the tempting smell of essence and taste nucleotide disodium rose in the air, and Lu Jichun sucked instant noodles.

　　"How was the order today?" Sun Chen asked. Uncle reported a figure of nearly 40. This is not surprising. 38 orders a day – 40 orders, which is the target set by Lu Jichun for himself.

　　Different riders had different levels, from bronze to king, and the level in the game determined the real income of the riders. The level was updated every week, and the only way to improve was to keep receiving orders, plus 1 point for each order, while the knight of the king needed to complete nearly 400 orders within a week. In sharp contrast to the only bonus points, there were various points reduction rules: 3 points for overtime delivery, 5 points for bad reviews, 10 points for cancellation of delivery…

　　Lu Jichun usually left the house at 10 a.m. and stayed busy until one or two in the morning. He had also delivered breakfast, but his body was quickly overwhelmed. During a break before the evening rush hour, he would find time to go home and stir-fry a dish, usually chili fried meat, dig up a large spoonful of hot sauce, and spread out some for the early morning "dinner", and then replace the car with a new battery.

　　The food delivery industry seems to embrace everyone. It doesn’t ask about academic qualifications, gender, just a battery car, a health certificate. It also seems to be a passport to the city. It also means more freedom and income than industrial assembly lines.

　　Lu Jichun’s niece, Chen Xiaodi, first came to Hangzhou to study sewing. At the peak of the afternoon, she also ran takeout to earn extra money. At the beginning of the year, Sun Chen, who was running takeout in Fujian, came to Hangzhou and rented with his uncle. Together with his nephew Chen Yang in Hangzhou, a "takeaway family" of four people was formed.

　　According to platform data, 85% of riders in Hangzhou are from rural areas; 7% of riders are women, many of whom are the backbone of a family.

　　The average age of this group is 29 years old. (Reporter, Huang Xiaoxing, Yu Renfei, Correspondent, Fang Xuwen/Photo)

　　(At the request of the interviewee, except for Lu Jichun and healthcare workers, the family members are all pseudonyms; some privacy information is blurred)

"Tencent is losing its product capabilities and entrepreneurial spirit, and becoming an investment company…" These days, an article signed "Pan Chaos" and titled "Tencent has no dreams" has been very popular on the Internet. The article said that "this nearly 20-year-old company (referring to Tencent) is becoming utilitarian and short-sighted, and his strength is no longer product business, but investment in financial technology"; and analyzed some of Tencent’s less successful products and more successful investment cases in recent years, and came to the conclusion that "Tencent has no dreams".

?

The criticism was directed at Tencent, one of China’s leading Internet companies, so after the article was published, it quickly spread across the Internet and the venture capital community. The story that followed was even more twists and turns: first there was a response from Tencent President Martin Lau, and then there was a response from Tencent CEO Pony Ma: "Look, it’s good to have criticism…" But when everyone was discussing whether Pony Ma’s response could explain the problem, Zhang Jun, Tencent’s public relations director, clarified that "Pony Ma’s response" was fake and was the result of PS (photo processing).

?

Zhang Jun clarified in Moments that Ma Ma’s response was PS

?

This clarification did not reduce the popularity of "Tencent has no dreams", because ordinary users who use WeChat and QQ to play "Honor of Kings" and "Jump" are still interested in exploring the answer to the question "Does Tencent have a dream". So, does Tencent have a dream?

?

The industry applauds the open attitude

?

Judging from the evaluation information of Tencent insiders, although they do not agree with the whole of "Tencent No Dream", they generally adopt an inclusive attitude. For example, the discussion between Lau Chiping and Zhang Jun on WeChat Moments shows that Lau Chiping believes that "Tencent is a bigger organization and ecosystem than the author imagined… [The article] simplifies Tencent into a product gain and loss, a strategic deployment, and a person’s will. It is too narrow… The title and conclusion are distorted because they are trying to catch the eye." But he also made it clear: "But there are still some unique insights that can be used as reference and supervision." Zhang Jun said: "We listen to the voices of the outside world, absorb them, and transform them into stronger action forces."

?

Dialogue between Martin Lau and Zhang Jun at Moments

?

Zhang Jun’s attitude towards "Tencent has no dreams"

?

Industry observers also feel that "Tencent No Dreams", although flawed and the conclusion may be questionable, is a "work of conscience". Ma Qiji, former senior vice-president of Nielsen Internet Research and a research fellow at Peking University’s New Media Marketing and Communication Center, commented: "This is a good article [referring to’Tencent No Dreams’]. Although the argument method and logic are slightly flawed, it is still done with all its heart. It is essentially a commentary on Tencent’s strategic goals, path selection and organizational system, not’dream theory ‘." It’s just that he feels that "unless there is a very deep understanding, research, analysis and research on this kind of topic, it is difficult to have a real understanding and judgment of Tencent’s real behavioral starting point and consideration, let alone an effective and incisive discussion."

?

Many Internet practitioners believe that "Tencent has no dreams" is heating up online, but Tencent’s various dissemination channels, including WeChat, QQ, etc., have not "blocked" this article, at least indicating that Tencent is a company willing to listen to different voices, and should be praised for this attitude.

?

"The problem with many internet companies is that they are not open enough. Whether they are start-ups or industry leaders, they always think that they are standing on the high ground of innovation and are held in the palm of the hands of the crowd, so they cannot listen to criticism. Once someone criticizes, in addition to directly refuting or trying to’block ‘, sometimes they will use’water army’ to whitewash themselves. This approach should be praised for Tencent’s tolerant attitude. This also reminds other internet companies that they should have the heart to listen to different voices, and if there is no change, they should be encouraged, so as to make progress." Internet observer Tang Zhao said.

?

From corporate dreams to connectivity tools

?

As of press time, Tencent officials, including Pony Ma, have not made any further comments on "Tencent has no dream". However, the industry believes that from the recent layout of Tencent, it has actually responded with actions: launching "explosive" products or services is no longer its focus, and using Tencent’s existing resources and capabilities to connect all walks of life and achieve upgrades in all walks of life may be one of Tencent’s "dreams".

?

At the recent Digital China Construction Summit, Pony Ma summarized what Tencent is and will be doing in four numbers in his speech: "One goal" is to be a good assistant. "We hope to do something and not do something – not to enter all walks of life and replace it; but to become a’digital assistant ‘in all walks of life." Three things "means that Tencent will focus on connecting, making tools and doing ecology." Five areas "refers to the scope of Tencent’s efforts, including people’s livelihood and government affairs, living consumption, production services, life and health, and ecological protection. Finally, there are the "seven tools" that Tencent provides to all walks of life: WeChat official account, WeChat Mini Program, mobile payment, social advertising, WeCom, big data cloud computing artificial intelligence, and Tencent’s security capabilities.

?

Ma Qiji believes that even a big company like Tencent does not need to talk about "dreams": "Not every company has or needs a dream. The’Tencent dream ‘is a good but unrealistic wish, and it has been crooked from the beginning, so the discussion [of’Tencent has no dream’] has become trivial." He personally believes that "Tencent is a good leader by connecting and empowering, building the belief and imagination of the future, and establishing resource allocation and public input." He also added: "I personally like Tencent’s recent formulation of’technology for good ‘, so my dream is: Tencent can help everyone strive to get close to it (technology for good)!"

?

?

How many people can the "connection tool" realize their dreams?

?

In fact, the reason why there is the question or discussion of "Tencent has a dream" is not unrelated to the development of Tencent in recent years. From the perspective of specific products, since the launch of "popular" WeChat, Tencent is not without innovation, but many products that are popular in the market are closely linked to WeChat, including WeChat red envelopes, WeChat Pay, WeChat official account, WeChat Mini Program, but the outside world regards them all as "WeChat", rather than new achievements. At the same time, Tencent’s investment has been "fruitful", and the listing of invested companies such as ZhongAn Insurance, Sogou, China Literature, and Yixin Group has brought tens of billions of dollars to Tencent.

?

In comparison, Tencent’s achievements as a tool to connect other industries seem less obvious; or even if the connection is successful and produces results, many people do not know that they are related to Tencent. However, a little review of some of Tencent’s recent "connection" achievements reveals a lot of surprises.

?

For example, Tencent recently entered into a strategic partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to launch digital conservation efforts. In Shenzhen Bay, after a user’s mobile phone QQ scans the sculpture in front of them, several white dolphins will jump up from the "water" and swim around. It turns out that this is a "digital landmark" project explored by the two sides. In the future, when people walk, bike or sightseeing along the coast of Shenzhen Bay, they can pass by more similar magical sculptures or devices. Open the mobile phone QQ to "scan", and dolphins will play to their heart’s content, or birds will circle and pitch on the screen. More importantly, people can also learn about these beautiful creatures: "There are only about 2,000 Chinese white dolphins left in China, living in the Pearl River estuary; the black-faced spoonbill is a bird in Shenzhen, and the population is extremely rare; they are all state-level protected animals and the aborigines of Shenzhen Bay…" WWF related people believe that such "digital landmarks" not only belong to Shenzhen, but also belong to the world. Through the exploration with Tencent, more cities and regions can have their own "digital landmarks", allowing people to feel the wonder and beauty of nature more strongly, and arousing the public’s awareness of protecting the ocean and caring for endangered animals. This case may make many nature conservationists "dream come true".

?

There is also the "digital classroom" created by WWF and Tencent, which may fulfill the dream of many ecological rangers. It turns out that there are more than 370,000 ecological rangers in China, who are the most basic guardians and main force of national parks, cruising day after day to eliminate fire pests and stop poaching. However, due to the dispersion of personnel and the lack of training teachers, how to better train these rangers has become a problem. The "digital classroom" will introduce WWF’s rich and high-quality content to provide online training courses for ecological rangers and other practitioners, including relevant laws and regulations, wildlife identification, wild survival knowledge, etc., so that they have more professional knowledge and skills, and have more safety when walking in the forest.

?

In fact, after the spread of "Tencent No Dream" exceeded 1 million, Pan Chaos also sent a paragraph in his circle of friends: "Tencent has no dream, Tencent has achieved the dream of many people…" A Tencent grassroots employee sent reporters his thoughts after watching "Tencent No Dream": "Tencent will never be perfect, but fortunately it has been evolving – because there are many young people chasing dreams here, and it is also becoming the dream of young people."

Perhaps it is more practical for more people to realize their dreams with the help of technology than whether a company has a dream.

On November 30, Meituan announced its third quarter 2020 financial results.

According to the financial report, during the reporting period, Meituan achieved revenue of 35.40 billion yuan, an increase of 28.8% year-on-year and an increase of 43.2% month-on-month. Achieved profit of 6.32 billion yuan, an increase of 374.1% year-on-year. Excluding the impact of fair value changes, profit and loss, the company’s adjusted net profit in the third quarter was 2.05 billion yuan, an increase of 5.8% year-on-year.

From a business perspective, Meituan’s catering takeaway business earned 20.69 billion yuan in the third quarter, an increase of 32.8% year-on-year; contributed 770 million yuan in operating profit, an increase of 132.2% year-on-year, and an operating profit margin of about 3.7%;

The revenue growth rate of the store, hotel and tourism business was 4.8%, generating an operating profit of 2.79 billion yuan, an increase of 19.5% year-on-year, and an operating profit margin of 43.0%.

New business and other businesses lost 2.03 billion yuan, an increase of 68.8% year-on-year.

Meituan handed over the third quarter report card, which can be described in four words: steady and steady. This financial report truthfully reflects the operating performance of Meituan company so far, and the overall performance is good.

However, I didn’t expect this financial report to be interpreted differently by various media for no reason. Meituan’s third-quarter results were described as a bit "flashy".

Clear the clouds and see the sun

The problem actually lies in the "change in fair value of investment listed entities RMB 5.80 billion yuan" disclosed in the financial report.

The proceeds were primarily derived from Meituan’s investment in Li Auto.

Previously, Meituan led Li Auto’s $550 million D round of investment, and Li Auto went public in the United States on July 30 this year. In the third quarter, Li Auto rose by more than 30%; and the ideal share price in the fourth quarter has also been performing well.

So some people bluntly said that Meituan’s performance depends entirely on "ideals".

With the media further hype brewing, the news about Meituan’s third-quarter earnings report in the past few days has actually formed a situation of "every Meituan must mention ideals".

Not only that, but various media also focused on the loss of new business in the financial report. Combining the increase in new business losses year-on-year and the profit of investment ideals, it was concluded that "Meituan actually did not perform well, and investment ideals were the’fig leaf ‘for its new business losses".

So much so that there are good people who write this matter into a joke, which is ridiculed by netizens.

But in all fairness, is Meituan really so "unbearable"? Now there is a threshold for the interpretation and analysis of financial reports?

So, what exactly does Meituan’s third-quarter earnings report show?

"Investing" is a normal operation

First of all, Meituan’s investment in Li Auto was successful and profited from it. This is indeed an objective fact.

In fact, contrary to what many media understand, this represents that Meituan has excellent investment vision and strategic thinking in the layout of cutting-edge technologies. Success is natural.

Investment is a normal behavior in business operations, and usually there are two main purposes for this kind of investment. The first is to lay out the layout of your own business ecosystem; the second is to broaden the company’s revenue channels, so as to obtain enough resources to expand your own business.

When a company reaches a certain scale, its business development must pay attention to layout and ecology. But to build a good ecosystem, it is often not covered by its main business.

So Meituan’s investment ideal has reaped profits. Although it seems to be a "cross-border", it is essentially based on Meituan’s long-term value judgment of an industry and supplements its own strategy and business.

New business strategic loss

Another question about Meituan is the loss of new business.

Meituan’s third quarter 2020 financial report shows that the new business and other items achieved revenue of 8.23 billion yuan, but the operating loss was 2.03 billion yuan, an increase of 68.8% year-on-year.

If it is foolish to regard the investment ideal as a "fig leaf", then combining the loss performance of Meituan’s new business with the investment ideal, saying that Meituan has many operational problems is bad.

Although "net profit" and "net loss" are indeed important indicators to measure a company’s performance in a company’s operations, they are not the "only indicator".

In short, a company’s loss doesn’t necessarily mean "the company is going to die".

Meituan’s new business and others mainly include shared bicycles and Meituan’s preferred business launched in July this year, which marks Meituan’s official entry into community group buying.

Wang Xing revealed that Meituan plans to cover more than 1,000 municipalities by the end of the year. And Meituan needs to better integrate resources, provide better products and improve supply chain and logistics.

In addition, Meituan is also responsible for developing various services and products in the entire platform system in order to optimize the user experience.

Sanyan Finance also reported in previous articles that "community group buying" has become a must for major Internet Tech Giants.

So to start a business in a new field, it is necessary to invest huge resources in the early stage. However, the investment is huge, and the return is not immediate.

So it is common for new business to lose money, otherwise how can it be called "new" business?

Furthermore, Meituan’s new business revenue growth just shows the hard power that Meituan has been accumulating "steadily". Because if there is no strong foundation laid by the previous development, how can you invest resources in the new business to seize the market and compete with other Internet Tech Giants?

Therefore, the ideal investment and new business losses not only fail to prove that Meituan "has no martial arts ethics" and relies on Li Auto to cover up the losses, but also prove that Meituan is an Internet company with unique vision and hard power.

Explore old businesses and develop new ones

Putting aside the misreading of Meituan’s financial report, Meituan’s overall performance in the third quarter was still quite good.

In addition to the financial data of Meituan’s various businesses mentioned earlier, let’s take a look at the performance of various business operations.

According to the financial report, Meituan’s annual active merchants reached 6.50 million, and the annual transaction users reached 480 million, showing a steady growth trend; this year, more than 4 million riders have achieved employment and income through the Meituan platform.

In addition, the average daily number of food and beverage takeaway transactions was 34.9 million, an increase of 30.1% year-on-year, and the average value of each food and beverage takeaway business order increased by 4.5% year-on-year.

Combined with the financial data, the transaction volume of food and beverage takeaway business was 152.20 billion yuan, an increase of 36.0% year-on-year; the revenue was 20.70 billion yuan, an increase of 32.8% year-on-year; the operating profit reached 768.5 million yuan.

Store, hotel and tourism revenue 65 billion yuan, an increase of 4.8%; operating profit 2.80 billion yuan, operating profit margin increased by 43.0%.

If we compare Meituan’s new business and old business data, we can see that Meituan has not given up its old business due to the development of new business.

In general, the total amount of resources is limited, and companies tend to allocate resources in a certain proportion. New business will receive more resources, while old business will have less resources to at least maintain the status quo.

That is to say, the underlying logic of this quota is to "explore new business and develop old business". There is nothing wrong with adopting this model for development. After all, new business often represents "unknown", and enterprises need to focus more on "exploration".

But for Meituan, Meituan’s business development is "exploring old business and developing new business".

The so-called exploring old business is actually constantly cultivating existing business with new ideas. After the epidemic, Meituan adopted a more accurate and high-quality marketing plan to upgrade in response to the arrival of the peak order season. This has increased the willingness of catering takeaway merchants to purchase traffic. Therefore, in the financial report, the platform’s third quarter takeaway online marketing service revenue increased by 60.1% year-on-year.

The essence of Meituan’s old business is actually to solve the problem of "food" for users. Like the emergence of takeaway services, it is convenient for users to eat what they want without leaving home.

Meituan did not stop on this basis, but instead asked users to upgrade to "eat better".

The core of this "helping everyone eat better and live better" is also based on the concept of consumption upgrading. Consumers’ dietary needs have become more abundant, and they must have more choices.

In the financial report, the order amount of food and beverage takeaway business increased by 4.5% in the third quarter, which shows that the platform brand merchants have improved; at the same time, the number of newly launched brand merchants in takeaway in the quarter increased by 157%, and consumers have more choices. In the third quarter, the booking business of Meituan Hotel also increased accordingly, and the high-star hotel cooperating with Meituan also increased significantly month-on-month.

At the same time, all kinds of "new tricks" have also been popularized and developed through the Meituan platform, such as escape room. Most merchants choose Meituan, Dianping and other platforms as their main way to acquire customers.

Meituan’s "development" of new business is actually an extension of old business, so it is called "development" of new business.

If "eating" is the core word of Meituan Company, then it can be said that all of Meituan’s business revolves around "eating".

Eat at home, Meituan takeaway; go out to eat, Meituan takes a taxi, Meituan bikes; want to play after eating, Meituan goes to the store…

Meituan’s new business is the same, which is based on the expansion of existing business. Meituan market and Meituan Preferred can be simply understood as the "shopping" service before users "eat".

Internet companies that adhere to "long-termism"

After understanding the underlying logic of Meituan’s business development, it is clear that Meituan is a company that adheres to "long-term doctrine".

Meituan has a clear development plan for what she wants to do and adheres to the long-term approach, which is the core concept of developing new businesses and exploring old ones.

And this development model also allows Meituan, as a platform-level company, to effectively promote the development of the industry. Especially when the entire industry encounters a crisis, such as the 2020 epidemic, Meituan can effectively help the market recover during and after the crisis, and solve the employment problem of a large number of riders.

In taking the "long-term" route, while fulfilling the various responsibilities and obligations of the company, the company needs to continuously invest resources. After all, firm goals are on the one hand, and to achieve goals, we must strive to explore value.

The Wild Goose Lake crew sells tickets online

In addition to the online roadshow mode of live streaming and selling movie tickets, these two new films are also "the same family" in terms of creation.

　

Needless to say, the stories are all crime themes, and Xiao Dianjun also saw a deeper doorway between them.

After the debut of "The Wild Goose Lake" in Cannes in May this year, many foreign media gave high praise:

　

"This is a vibrant, poetic and unique Chinese film noir"; "Classic film noirs like’You Only Live Once ‘and’Escape at Night’ can’t help but come to mind"; "Suddenly it feels like China is the best place in the world for film noir"…

　

After its domestic release, many viewers, like foreign media, also used a word – "film noir" when evaluating it. And "The Whistleblower" also has a vague "film noir" flavor.

　Douban netizens evaluation

What exactly is "film noir"? Is it black and white? Black humor? Or is the whole story very "dark"?

　

In fact, "film noir" that took root in Hollywood is growing savagely on the Chinese mainland, combining with various different genres to form a new look. How to say it? Xiao Dianjun will popularize it for everyone.

What is "film noir"?　

The term "film noir" was coined by the French in 1946, and French critics noticed a worldwide concentration of films with similar styles and patterns beginning in the early 1940s.

　

These films are often adapted from detective novels, and most of them depict dangerous crime stories in cities, full of gloom, anxiety, despair, horror, and a sense of compassion and destiny.

"Daybreak."andThe Maltese Falcon

　

The French say that Marcel Carney’s "Daybreak" was the first film noir, while Hollywood considers "The Maltese Falcon" to be their first film.

　

But in any case, the well-known emergence of film noir has created a dynamic and explosive golden age in the history of Hollywood cinema.

　

Similarly, in the field of European film, there have also been a series of film noir masterpieces such as this one.

Classic film noir The Third Man

　

So why are these movies called film noir?

　

The screenwriter Paul Schrader has listed seven common features of film noir for everyone, which are also their common techniques:

　

Most of the scenes are set by night.

(Photographic composition) preferring diagonal and vertical lines to horizontal lines;

Provide equal lighting intensity for actors and sets.

The tension of the composition takes precedence over the physical movements of the actors.

An almost Freudian attachment to water;

A preference for romantic narratives.

Frequently use complex chronological sequences to enhance feelings of hopelessness and the passage of time.

　

So much so that, in short, the first five are about visual style, while the last two focus on narrative characteristics.

The shot in "Beauty"

　

Film noir is first and foremost a very intense and highly stylized visual system.

　

In layman’s terms, most of the scenes take place in the city’s empty streets at night or secret meeting places such as stations and docks, and are often accompanied by special weather such as rain and fog.

　

The protagonist often hides in dark shadows, usually strengthening one side of his face with side light, while the other side is always obscured by the shadows of doors, windows, pillars, railings, and other objects.

　

The shooting angle is often tilted and unbalanced, creating a sense of mystery and alluding to the protagonist’s sense of both good and evil and his inner unease.

The year of birth.

　

Before "The Wild Goose Lake", there were a few domestic films that used these iconic visual elements of film noir, including director Xie Fei’s "Birthday Year", Zhang Yibai’s, Ning Hao’s, and Diao Yinan’s.

Director Diao Yinan has always insisted on transplanting Western noir films to China. Although he currently has only four directorial works, the visual temperament of noir films is stronger than ever.

In "Fireworks by Day", the northeastern towns are under continuous rain and snow, and the streets are dim, with contrasting lighting, forming a very cold and oppressive atmosphere.

The Wild Goose Lake is the culmination of his film noir style.

　

It is understood that the film has a total of 106 scenes, 71 of which are night scenes, accounting for 80% of the entire film.

　

During the humid rainy season in Wuhan, Zhou Zenong, played by Hu Ge, ran from the station to the narrow alley and fled all the way, flashing with rain.

Movies also use shadows to make a big fuss.

The camera will take pictures of the body reflections of Hu Ge and Gui Lunmei on the wall.

From time to time, their faces would be obscured by shadows, flickering.

When they were in the showroom, the multi-faceted mirrors seemed to be inspired by film noir.

Hu Ge and Gui Lunmei around the mirror

"Miss Shanghai" classic scene

According to these visual standards, "The Wild Goose Lake" can really be called the first typical film noir style in the Chinese mainland.

Can’t live without "femme fatale"!

　

If there were no "femme fatale", it would not be a film noir.

　

The female protagonists in the film noir are both beautiful and intelligent, but also as active and strong as men. They are mysterious and always fascinate the male protagonist and follow them around.

　

They will quietly emerge from the shadows in gorgeous evening gowns, revealing their thighs; they will carry out secret operations with guns and cigarette packs. Their faces and guns are enough to "kill".

Classic film noir"Beyond the Vortex"

　

Simply put, they are "scheming" people.

　

If you are not familiar with the film noir of the last century, you must have seen this scene of Rebecca Ferguson there. This is also a film full of retro vibes of film noir.

Mission Impossible 5

　

The women in film noir are usually at the heart of a conspiracy.

　

They only care about themselves and will obtain money and benefits through improper means, often at the cost of death or submission.

　

The male protagonists are mostly tough detectives or policemen, and they will have some obsessive-compulsive disorder. Under the temptation of "femme fatale", they are deeply involved in an unsolvable case, fighting for one thing to the end, and may not understand what happened until the end.

"Chinatown."

　

Film scholar Jan D’Amico once summarized the emotional relationship and plot development of the male and female protagonists in film noir:

　

"Whether a man is destined to act by chance, or because he is employed by a man to deal with a woman, their life experiences fill them with blood and pain at times. When he meets this woman who is not innocent and has the same outlook on life, he is sexually attracted to her, and he is doomed…"

　

So, aren’t "The Wild Goose Lake" and "The Whistleblower" just like that?

　

The characters and fates of the male and female protagonists all conform to the above-mentioned film noir narrative routines, which are simply the same.

Zhou Zenong’s wild and vicissitudes of life, and his taciturn chivalrous temperament is like coming from Melville’s film noir. In the film, he is destined to have only one cause or ultimate purpose – to leave a bounty to his wife while fleeing.

　

But in the process, he meets Liu Aiai, the "swimming girl" played by Gui Lunmei. Liu Aiai is both his helper, attracting him, and "betraying" him, which brings him to the end.

"Femme Fatale" is also often the target of male investigators in film noir, becoming the key to solving crimes. This is the relationship between Liao Fan and Gui Lunmei in the film.

In "The Whistleblower", Lei Jiayin plays Ma Ke, who was originally a winner with a successful career and a happy family. When he met his ex-girlfriend Tang Wei, he began to get confused and suffer a bad luck.

Tang Wei brought him from Australia to Africa, causing him not only to be hunted down by killers, but also to face the situation of his wife being separated.

Even though she was so confused that she didn’t know the truth of the case, Lei Jiayin still followed her to the end of the world like a "big silly boy".

On the way, Tang Wei ruthlessly betrayed Lei Jiayin for his life-saving money, and the "selfishness" of "femme fatale" was on full display.

　

Although "The Whistleblower" is unlike "The Wild Goose Lake", it does not have any shadow of film noir in terms of screen styling, but the overall characterization and plot mode are written in full accordance with the template of film noir.

The two male protagonists played by Hu Ge and Lei Jiayin also have something in common. They both have the moral ambiguity of male characters in film noir, but they have a sense of justice.

Zhou Zenong is the small leader of the theft gang, and Ma Ke is the "scum" who cheated on his ex, but in the end, they all became "heroes" in a sense:

　

Zhou Zenong goes to great lengths for the happiness of his wife in the second half of her life and pays for love; Ma Ke bravely reports the trade conspiracy and corruption of overseas companies, becoming an unsung hero who saves a city.

　

"Film noir" is growing savagely in the mainland

　

Film noir was born during World War II and the Cold War, a time when the American dream was falling apart and society was rife with insecurity.

　

After that, from "Chinatown" to the emergence of new film noir, it has given more new connotations and new styles, but the essence remains the same.

Neon color

　

When film noir arrived in China from the Western world, many changes took place.

　

From "Fireworks in the Day" to "The Wild Goose Lake", especially the latter, there are a large number of street scenes, squares, archways, motorcycles that are unique to China…. The neon lights of the city at night are combined with the special scenery on the edge of China’s urban and rural areas to form a unique and beautiful heterotopian world, full of charm.

Traditional film noir often has a "misogynistic" stance, and the image of "femme fatale" is very rigid and symbolic, but in "Southern Station" and "The Whistleblower", both Gui Lunmei and Tang Wei have atypical female images of film noir.

Guilun magnesium has a tan, freckles on her face, and her body is completely shriveled and weak.

Tang Wei’s overall style is simple and capable, and most of the time it is not sexy on the screen. Only when he meets Lei Jiayin for the first time and escapes for the first time, it shows a bit of beauty.

　

In addition to their appearance, these female characters are also brighter and warmer. They all complete their self-redemption by reversing at the end of the credits.

The visual and narrative elements of film noir are also gradually merging with domestic genre films to create new forms.

　

In "Southern Railway Station," Hu Ge’s characters and action scenes are designed along the lines of martial arts films, and the larger narrative theme of "The Whistleblower" is the mainstream melody with Chinese characteristics.

"Crazy Stone"

　

Ning Hao’s "Crazy" series introduces black texture into local humorous comedies, and also pays more attention to the little people at the bottom; Guan Hu uses absurd fables to express black themes; Cao Baoping creates a black suspense spirit in the context of social reality.

"The Sun Is Burning Heart"　

"I have always been interested in the changing human nature of film noir," said Mr. Diao, who believes that film noir allows directors to think about society and humanity, and that China’s development has provided a natural soil for the creation of film noir.

　

Using the mode of film noir, we can produce works that are both interesting and expressed by the author. This genre is also broadening the development space for domestic art films.

There is a cloud made of rain in the wind.

　

"Fireworks in the Day" earned over 100 million at the box office that year, breaking the curse of the dismal box office of the literary film theater chain and becoming the highest-grossing literary film at that time. With the help of film noir and a cast of stars, Lou Ye successively shot "Clouds Made of Rain in the Wind" and entered the public eye.

The Lyceum.

　

As the aesthetics of domestic audiences become more diverse, the overall market and film industry become more mature, and film noir also provides a stage for new directors to enter the commercial mainstream.

"Violent Silence" is everywhere. Among them, the story of "Earth" is a typological framework of the detective and the "femme fatale" falling in love, which Bi Gan also described as a romantic "black fairy tale".

No matter what the outcome of this film is, it is precisely because the story of film noir is inherently commercial, and with the help of the late "New Year’s Eve" marketing promotion, it can quickly ferment at that time and directly attract the general public to the cinema.

"The Last Night on Earth"

　

Film noir stimulates the imagination of film and creates infinite possibilities. It is both genre and art; both commercial and author; both mainstream and independent, which can open up the "two veins" of film creation.

　

As Shen Qian, the producer of "The Wild Goose Lake", observed and judged: film noir may be the trend of Chinese film in the next few years, not only because of the industry ecology, but also because this type of film happens to be an effective bridge between the author’s expression and the market.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, November 5th: The third step of Beidou, when the world is shocked – the secret of Beidou-3 global networking satellite

　　Xinhua News Agency reporters Hu Zhe, Bai Guolong, Yu Xiaojie

　　The third step of Beidou is to surprise the world!

　　On November 5, the Beidou-3 satellite, which has attracted worldwide attention and people’s expectations, opened the prelude to global networking. According to the goal of "completing the launch of 18 satellites around 2018, taking the lead in providing basic services to countries along the’Belt and Road Initiative ‘; achieving a global network of 35 Beidou satellites in 2020, with the ability to serve the world", China’s Beidou is making great strides to the world.

　　How will Beidou-3 achieve the "triple jump" from domestic to regional to global satellite navigation? Where is the technological lead? What surprises will it bring to people and the world?

　　Domestic, Regional, Worldwide: Beidou Navigation Achieves Historic "Triple Jump"

　　As one of the three major satellite navigation systems in the world, the Beidou satellite navigation system that travels in the earth’s orbit, from Beidou-1 to Beidou-2 to provide regional services, and then to Beidou-3 global network, continuously providing accurate and high-quality services for the majority of users.

　　"You want me to have, you want me to be excellent, serve human society and benefit the general public." Since December 27, 2012, the Beidou regional navigation system officially provided regional services, and the Beidou system has received more and more attention from countries.

　　In January 2017, the Beidou-2 satellite project won the special prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. Yang Hui, chief engineer of the Beidou-2 project satellite system of the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, said that the Beidou-2 satellite project took eight years of development and construction, got rid of dependence on foreign satellite navigation systems, and achieved a historic "triple jump".

　　"China’s Beidou, the world’s Beidou." It is turning from a blueprint into a reality. Xie Jun, deputy chief designer of the Beidou No. 3 project and chief chief satellite designer of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, introduced that long before Beidou-2 officially provided regional navigation and positioning services, our country began the demonstration and development of the Beidou-3 global navigation system, and determined the development goal of building an independent, open, compatible, technologically advanced, stable and reliable global satellite navigation system.

　　Xie Jun said that compared with the Beidou-2 regional system, the Beidou-3 service area will be expanded to the world, and at the same time, key technological breakthroughs such as downlink navigation signal upgrade and transformation have been achieved, achieving a smooth transition with the Beidou-2 downlink navigation signal. On this basis, new navigation signals have been added to provide users with better services.

　　It is reported that the construction of high-performance, high-reliability Beidou global satellite navigation system is one of the 16 national science and technology major special projects in the medium and long-term development plan of our country’s science and technology field.

　　High Precision, High Reliability, High Insurance: Beidou-3 Technological Breakthrough

　　Chi Jun, commander-in-chief of the Beidou-3 satellite of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, told reporters that just as water and power outages affect urban life, once the satellite navigation service fails, not only the country’s economic operation will be greatly affected, but also people’s lives will be greatly affected. This also puts forward demanding requirements for the reliability of the satellite navigation system. Overall, Beidou-3 has the characteristics of high precision, high reliability, high insurance, and multi-functionality.

　　- High accuracy. On the basis of the performance of Beidou-2, Beidou-3 was designed with the goal of the third-generation GPS navigation satellites that had not yet been launched and the design indicators of the European Galileo navigation system.

　　The positioning accuracy of the Beidou-3 global navigation system will be greatly improved, reaching the level of 2.5 meters to 5 meters. After completion, the Beidou global navigation system will provide civilian users with free positioning services with an accuracy of about 10 meters, 0.2 meters per second speed measurement service, and will provide paid users with a higher accuracy level of services. The satellite design life is more than 10 years. With the Beidou ground-based enhancement system providing initial services, it can provide meter-level, sub-meter-level, decimeter-level, and even centimeter-level services. By then, China’s Beidou accuracy will be comparable to that of the US GPS.

　　- High reliability. Beidou is a system engineering. Every time a user enjoys the service of the Beidou system, it must ensure that there are at least four satellites to provide services; Beidou is a global coverage system, and at least more than 20 satellites need to provide stable services at the same time. This feature determines that the Beidou system requires higher quality reliability than a single star, and more stringent requirements for product reliability. Beidou is also a system whose inherent properties require continuous operation. The signal cannot be interrupted, and the system must be continuous, stable, intact and reliable.

　　- High insurance. According to Wang Ping, chief designer of the Beidou-3 satellite of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the Beidou satellite global navigation system, as a large-scale system project, adopts multiple reliability "reinforcement" measures to maximize the insurance factor of the system.

　　For example, after the system is completed, the number of operating satellites is greater than the number of satellites necessary for service; at the same time, the Beidou-3 satellite also adopts a number of measures such as software redundancy, fault self-diagnosis, and fault self-repair to ensure system reliability and greatly enhance the user experience.

　　- Multi-function. In addition to features such as short messages, China’s Beidou can also send users’ location information, so that others can know the user’s situation, and better solve the problem of who, what, and where. Combining text messages with navigation is a major feature of the Beidou satellite navigation system. One end point can have both navigation and communication.

　　Far away? Close at hand! Beidou service is everywhere

　　Ofo’s small yellow cart and Beidou Navigation jointly launched the Beidou smart lock; the small blue bicycle used the Beidou foundation enhancement system to achieve meter-level positioning, even in the shade of the tree, there will be no "drift"… In order to report "where I am" more accurately, shared bicycles have been connected to the Beidou high-precision time and space positioning service one after another.

　　Shared bicycles are just one of the applications that Beidou has in the near future to serve people’s livelihood. From emergency rescue and disaster relief to precision agriculture, from fishery broadcasting to smart housing management… In recent years, various high-precision location-based service products of Beidou satellite navigation have been widely used in all aspects of the national economy and people’s livelihood under the new model of "Beidou + Internet + Other Industries".

　　The recently released White Paper on the Development of China’s Satellite Navigation and location-based service industry (2016) shows that the total output value of our country’s satellite navigation and location-based service industry reached 211.80 billion yuan in 2016, an increase of about 22.06% over 2015. Beidou’s contribution rate to the core output value of the industry reached 70%, and our country’s satellite navigation and location-based service industry has broad prospects.

　　"At present, Beidou applications in our country have entered a stage of rapid development. With the combination of satellite navigation technology with the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and other technologies and fields, satellite navigation and location-based services have become important strategic emerging industries in our country," said Min Yiren, deputy director of the National Bureau of Surveying, Mapping and Geographic Information.

　　In Hainan Wenchang Qinglan Port, the Beidou navigation end point is the standard for fishermen to go to sea: the operation can be monitored in real time, the fishing boat can be alerted at any time when it is in danger, and the weather forecast and early warning notification can be listened to at sea. Beidou has become the "clairvoyant", "downwind ear" and "amulet" in the mouth of fishermen…

　　Yu Xiancheng, president of the China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, said that Beidou technology has jumped out of the category of single navigation technology. Under the urgent needs of various industries such as urban gas, urban heating, power grid, water supply and drainage, the National Beidou Precision Service Network has provided Beidou precision services for various industry applications in more than 400 cities across the country, effectively promoting the optimization and improvement of smart city infrastructure.

For Haval, the H6 product continued to sell well in China a few years ago, allowing consumers to buy a more cost-effective SUV. However, with the continuous promotion of new energy vehicles in recent years, all kinds of plug-in and hybrid vehicles are constantly updated, and consumers gradually raise their recognition of new energy vehicles. At present, Harvard’s new energy vehicles are not abundant. In order to maintain the previous sales, it is necessary to introduce more new energy vehicles to meet the needs of consumers. The recently unveiled Haval Xiaolong MAX is a brand-new compact plug-in SUV. This product has a brand-new upgrade in terms of shape design and power system, and it is also the first to take the new hybrid architecture of the Great Wall Hi4. So what is the strength of new car products? Can consumers recognize it? Let’s get to know each other.

Triple screen+skylight is standard in the whole system, which is larger than Song PLUS?

About Haval Xiaolong MAX, there have been a lot of appearance information maps exposed before, and I think everyone has a better understanding of this. Let’s talk briefly about the appearance here. As one of the latest new energy vehicles in the family, the front face of Haval Xiaolong MAX adopts a gradual mesh and a "boomerang" style headlight group. The logo of "PHEV" below can obviously make people recognize its identity. The side and tail designs are similar to those of traditional models, and the split taillights used by most models are also used. Generally speaking, although Xiaolong MAX is a brand-new new energy vehicle, its appearance can bring a certain freshness, but at the same time, it also retains some designs similar to Haval’s traditional models.

As an SUV model, what do you want to know most? Of course, in terms of size, Haval Xiaolong MAX locates a compact SUV. In terms of body size, its length, width and height are 4758/1895/1725mm, and its wheelbase is 2800mm, which is larger than its own Haval H6. In addition, we refer to BYD Song PLUS DM-i, which is also a compact SUV. Its length, width and height dimensions are 4705/1890/1680mm and its wheelbase is 2765mm respectively. Obviously, the size of Xiaolong MAX should be dominant in all aspects, even if it is placed in the same class, it will have a good performance. Because the side of the car body does not adopt the shape of the Haval beast or the Haval F series model, but adopts the D-pillar design with a larger inclination angle and a larger spoiler, it is expected that its internal seating space will be more spacious. In addition, Haval Xiaolong MAX not only has a large body size, but also has rich and flexible storage space, such as the upper and lower front door panels, the lower floor of the center console, the front and rear row of cup holders and a number of storage slots specially for mobile phones. Temporary small items can be stored almost everywhere, and the design is more intimate in terms of function and practicality.

The traditional dashboard plus central control has been difficult to attract consumers’ attention. In order to cater to the more scientific and comfortable interior trend style, Haval Xiaolong MAX adopts a triple screen design, with a 12.3-inch LCD central control screen+a 12.3-inch LCD driver’s screen+a 12.3-inch LCD instrument and HUD head-up digital display, which can make drivers more focused and greatly improve the entertainment function in the car. Moreover, you will find that among the models of this level, there are not many models with triple screens, which are generally used in models with a price of more than 200,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan. In addition, according to the previous application information, the skylight will also be standard in the whole department. It can be seen that Haval Xiaolong MAX is still sincere in the interior materials. Due to the design of the arms, it is more convenient for the center console to set aside more space to store items such as mobile phones. In addition, the rear seats can be laid down independently, which has good flatness, thus further expanding the storage space at the rear, which is very practical for some users to occasionally carry large items.

Pure electric battery life exceeds 100km, and the Great Wall new technology is equipped with two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options?

In terms of power, according to the existing information, the new car is expected to adopt a plug-in hybrid system composed of 1.5L/1.5T engine and motor, which is matched with a multi-gear DHT gearbox. Among them, the entry-level model uses a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 85kW, while the middle and high-end models provide a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 113kW. As for batteries, lithium ternary battery and Ferrous lithium phosphate battery will be provided according to different configurations. It is expected that the version of lithium iron phosphate battery will further lower the price threshold.

According to the previous statement, the new car of Haval Xiaolong MAX will use the Hi4 hybrid system of Great Wall. Comparatively speaking, what is really worth looking forward to is this system, that is, the four-wheel drive function is realized through the structural cost of the two-wheel drive. So how does it achieve the four-wheel drive function? To put it simply, the Great Wall Hi4 is a two-axis and two-motor hybrid system. Under the original hybrid two-drive structure, a rear axle motor is added at P4 of the rear axle, which is equivalent to adding a drive system to provide power, thus realizing the function of four-wheel drive with the two-drive structure. In addition, the Hi4 hybrid special engine of Great Wall will have more than 40% engineering thermal efficiency, and the battery also has fast charging ability, which will be helpful for the improvement of battery life. The cruising range of pure electricity is expected to reach more than 100km. If you use pure electric mode for short-distance daily transportation, you basically don’t need to refuel frequently.

In general, Haval Xiaolong MAX has enriched consumers’ purchasing demand while providing various power versions. The most important thing is the blessing of the new technology of the Great Wall Hi4. This hybrid system will find the corresponding best working mode according to different scenarios used by users. For example, when the urban road conditions need to be accelerated or climbed rapidly, the vehicle will switch between pure electric four-wheel drive and one-speed direct drive mode according to the urban road conditions; Or when encountering high-speed cruise road conditions, the vehicle will adopt a higher 2-speed direct drive mode, which can effectively reduce the engine speed range and thus reduce the energy consumption of the system. In a word, the vehicle will intelligently switch different working conditions according to different scenarios, thus avoiding the high-energy consumption or low-efficiency operation interval.

Nowadays, new energy vehicles are becoming more and more common. Even without the inclination of the license policy, everyone is willing to choose it, especially plug-in hybrid vehicles. The main reason is that the plug-in and hybrid models can not only use pure electricity in cities, but also burn oil to solve the mileage anxiety caused by long-distance driving.

As a long-awaited plug-in hybrid model, the appearance of Haval Xiaolong MAX gives people a certain freshness different from family-style design, and the materials used in interior configuration are also kind enough, and it also uses its own Hi4 hybrid new technology in power, which is expected to help and improve power and battery life. If the pricing is reasonable, Harvard Xiaolong MAX is expected to attract a lot of consumers with these good products in the future.

　　On April 11th, at the ecological spring communication meeting in HarmonyOS, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, BG CEO, chairman of BU, a Huawei smart car solution, and Yin Tongyue, secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of Chery Holding Group Co., Ltd., released the first smart car, Zhijie S7. Yu Chengdong said: "Zhijie S7 has now started mass delivery."

　　It is understood that Zhijie S7 is positioned as a medium-sized and large-sized pure electric car, which is the only car model currently on sale in HarmonyOS Zhixing, and it is also the first smart car model jointly selected by Chery and Huawei.

　　The reporter observed that one of the main competitiveness of Zhijie S7 is reflected in intelligent driving. The new car is equipped with Huawei’s technologies or functions such as Huawei ADS2.0 advanced intelligent driving system, a new generation of HUAWEI DriveONE power platform, Huawei Turing intelligent chassis and HUAWEI xMotion intelligent body collaborative control system.

　　"At present, Zhijie S7 can enjoy the full upgrade of NCA in Huawei’s high-level intelligent driving city." Yu Chengdong bluntly said that Zhijie S7 is equipped with 192 lines of the same paragraph as Wenjie M9., with the longest detection distance of 250m, which is 20% higher than the industry average.

　　It is worth mentioning that, together with the new intelligent S7, there is the basic version of Huawei Visual Intelligent Driving HUAWEI ADS. This also means that Huawei has adopted a pure visual autopilot scheme for the first time, that is, it does not rely on it and lowers the threshold for intelligent driving.

　　As we all know,As a unique existence in the global automobile factory, it has always adhered to the pure vision autopilot scheme. Yu Chengdong said that HUAWEI ADS equipped with Zhijie S7 has realized "driving with a road", and compared with the pure vision scheme, the coverage rate of Huawei’s vision intelligent driving scheme reached 99.5%. This also means that Huawei has become the first intelligent driving manufacturer in China to adopt a pure vision scheme, which has challenged the new FSD autopilot scheme.

　　In fact, as early as November 9 last year, Zhijie S7 was listed for the first time. By November 28, the booking volume exceeded 20,000, and the sales volume once triggered market expectations. However, due to the rhythm of mass production, the monthly delivery volume of this model was less than 1,000 vehicles after it was launched, and HarmonyOS Zhixing subsequently introduced the compensation scheme of delayed delivery of Zhijie S7 to maintain the order. At the same time, in view of the delay in the delivery of the intellectual community and the slow opening of intelligence, the market has also aroused doubts about the cooperation between Chery and Huawei.

　　In this regard, at the China Electric Vehicle committee of 100 Forum held in March this year, Yu Chengdong responded for the first time, because the shortage of chips and the relocation of factories delayed mass production and listing. "It is expected to return to normal in April."

　　At the press conference, Yin Tongyue also said that Zhijie is Chery’s "most important project", with an independent business department and an exclusive intelligent manufacturing industrial park. Chery also provided special resources for Zhijie project. Huawei’s technology and standards deeply empower intelligent manufacturing, and Zhijie S7 has passed nearly 10,000 tests. "We regard the cooperation with Huawei as the first strategy and the intellectual community as the first priority project."

　　"Huawei has always been more than just changing lanes and overtaking. It is also good at launching a frontal attack against the peak technology of the industry." Gao Chao, a researcher of China Autopilot Industry Innovation Alliance, believes that every core functional section is leading in today’s industry, from Turing intelligent chassis to advanced intelligent driving and then to HarmonyOS 4 intelligent cockpit. Under the model of HarmonyOS Zhixing, Huawei is gradually achieving the goal of empowering car companies to build good cars by virtue of its accumulation in ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for more than 30 years and rich ecological advantages.
