In June, the global manufacturing purchasing managers index continued to drop, and the downward pressure on the global economy increased.

    Cctv newsAccording to the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, the global manufacturing PMI was 47.8% in June 2023, down 0.5 percentage points from the previous month, down for four consecutive months and below 50% for nine consecutive months, once again hitting a new low since June 2020. In terms of regions, the PMI of Asian manufacturing industry was the same as last month, still above 50%; The PMI of African manufacturing industry has declined, but it is still near the critical point of 50%; Both the European manufacturing PMI and the American manufacturing PMI continued to drop from last month and continued to operate below 50%.

  The index has remained below 50% continuously and hit a new low, which means that the downward trend of global manufacturing industry has intensified and the road to recovery still faces great challenges. High inflation, persistent geopolitical conflicts, financial market turmoil and the increase of trade barriers all continue to affect the growth momentum of the global economy. According to the latest survey report of the World Economic Forum, economists’ expectations of the world economic prospects in 2023 are mixed, with 45% of chief economists believing that a recession may occur and 45% of chief economists believing that it is unlikely, which means that the current global economy is constantly facing greater uncertainty. From the trend of various regions, the manufacturing industry in major European and American countries continues to decline and continues to bottom out, which is the main drag on the global manufacturing industry. The manufacturing industry in Asia continues to maintain a stable trend, and the manufacturing industry in major African countries also remains relatively stable, providing a certain stable foundation for the global manufacturing industry.

  Although the overall downward pressure on the global economy continues, there are still some positive factors to support the subsequent recovery of the global economy. First, regional economic and trade cooperation is closer, and the implementation effect of RCEP is expected to continue to emerge. It has been some time since RCEP came into full force for 15 signatory countries in the early stage. With the gradual implementation of policies and measures, intra-regional trade barriers will be effectively reduced and trade processes will be simplified, providing a foundation for the steady growth of global trade. Second, the expansion of BRICS countries is under way, providing new support for the stability of the global financial system. The recent BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting reached a basic consensus on the applications of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other countries to join the BRICS and the expansion of the BRICS. Many countries seek to join the BRICS Bank, which will help to better carry out economic and financial cooperation and promote a more balanced and inclusive new financial order.

  The downward pressure on European manufacturing industry has increased, and PMI has continued to drop.

  In June 2023, the PMI of European manufacturing industry was 45.4%, down 0.8 percentage point from last month, down for five consecutive months, and below 50% for 11 consecutive months, hitting a new low since June 2020. From the perspective of major countries, Russia’s manufacturing industry remains stable, but the growth rate has slowed down. The PMI dropped by 0.9 percentage points from last month to 52.6%, and the index is still in the expansion range of more than 50%. However, the manufacturing industries in Germany, Britain, France and Spain all maintained a downward trend, with the PMI below 50%. Among them, the manufacturing industry in Germany had a relatively large downward adjustment, with the PMI falling by 2.6 percentage points from the previous month to 40.6%, and the index continuously hit a new low.

  The downward pressure on the manufacturing industry in the euro zone has increased, and its economy has fallen into a technical recession. According to the data released by Eurostat recently, the GDP of the euro zone in the first quarter of this year decreased by 0.1% month-on-month, which was lower than the initial value. At the same time, the final value of GDP in the fourth quarter of 2022 was also lowered to 0.1% month-on-month, and the initial value was flat, which means that the GDP of the euro zone has been negative for two consecutive quarters, and the economy has fallen into a technical recession. At the same time, despite such a fragile economy, the European Central Bank still maintains a tight monetary policy stance. At the monetary policy meeting held on June 15th, the European Central Bank decided to raise the three key interest rates in the euro zone by 25 basis points. At the same time, at the recent European Central Bank Forum, policymakers once again made hawkish remarks. At present, some experts predict that the European Central Bank will raise interest rates again in July and September. The risk of stagflation faced by Europe is further aggravated, and its economy may continue to be under pressure in the short term.

  The manufacturing industry in America continued to decline, and PMI hit a new low.

  In June 2023, the PMI of American manufacturing industry was 46.5%, down 0.8 percentage point from last month, and it was running below 50% for eight consecutive months, which was the lowest level since June 2020, indicating that American manufacturing industry continued to maintain a downward trend, and the slowdown was accelerated. Data from major countries show that the manufacturing PMI of the United States, Brazil, Canada and Colombia is below 50%, except for Mexico, where the manufacturing industry is above 50%.

  According to the US data, the ISM report shows that the PMI of the US manufacturing industry dropped by 0.9 percentage points from last month to 46%, which was lower than 50% for eight consecutive months. The decline in demand for manufacturing orders in the United States slowed down, and the new order index rebounded by 3 percentage points from last month to 45.6%. However, the production activities of enterprises slowed down, and the production index dropped by 4.4 percentage points from last month to 46.7%. Both inventory and employment declined. The raw material inventory index and employee index decreased by 1.8 and 3.3 percentage points from last month to 44% and 48.1% respectively, both of which fell below 50%, reflecting that the current manufacturing enterprises tend to be cautious about future expectations. At the same time, despite the recent slowdown in inflation growth in the United States, the US CPI increased by 4% year-on-year in May, the smallest year-on-year increase since March 2021, but it still has not reached the target point, and with the support of strong employment data in the near future, the Fed will still maintain a tight monetary policy. The "bitmap" forecast in the monetary policy meeting in June shows that there will be two interest rate hikes this year. On the whole, the American economy still faces great challenges. Recently, the IMF highlighted the risks of the US economy in its report. The IMF believes that the longer the high interest rate lasts, the greater the possibility and impact of financial chain breakage, including the US Treasury bond market, and the more difficult it may be to recover.

  The manufacturing industry in Africa has slowed down steadily, and the PMI is still around 50%

  In June, 2023, the PMI of African manufacturing industry was 49.8%, down 0.4 percentage points from last month, but it remained at around 50%, indicating that the trend of African manufacturing industry remained relatively stable. From the perspective of major countries, Nigeria’s manufacturing industry still maintained a steady growth trend. Although the manufacturing PMI decreased from last month, it remained above 53%. The decline of Egypt’s manufacturing industry slowed down, and the PMI was still below 50%, but it increased from last month. South Africa’s manufacturing industry showed an accelerated decline, and the PMI fell below 48%.

  Although the trend of manufacturing in Africa shows some signs of slowing down under the downward pressure of the global economy, the index remains at the critical point of around 50%, indicating that the current African economy remains relatively stable and has certain development potential. Especially with the in-depth development of the Belt and Road cooperation, China-Africa economic and trade cooperation has been continuously optimized and upgraded, moving towards high-quality development. Relevant data of the recently held China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo show that many data of China-Africa economic and trade cooperation have reached a new high. The General Administration of Customs recently issued the China for the first time — African trade index, which is 100 points based on 2000 and reaches 990.55 points in 2022, shows the rapid development trend of China-Africa trade. The sustained growth of the bilateral trade volume between China and Africa has not only promoted Africa’s development, but also created more favorable conditions for international cooperation with Africa and continuously promoted the steady improvement of Africa’s economy.

  Asia’s manufacturing industry maintained a stable trend, with PMI unchanged from last month.

  In June, 2023, the PMI of Asian manufacturing industry was 50.4%, which was the same as last month and was above 50% for six consecutive months, indicating that Asian manufacturing industry continued to maintain a steady growth trend. From the perspective of major countries, although the PMI of China’s manufacturing industry is still below 50%, the economic operation has stabilized, the downward trend of market demand has slowed down, the accelerated growth of new kinetic energy demand has become more prominent, the production of enterprises has increased steadily, the destocking of raw materials and finished products has continued to advance, and the market price has also stabilized; India’s manufacturing industry continues to maintain a high growth rate, although it has slowed down from last month, but the PMI is still above 57%; Japan’s manufacturing industry contracted again, and the PMI fell below 50%; Vietnam and South Korea’s manufacturing industry still maintained a downward trend, with PMI below 48%.

  At present, the PMI of Asian manufacturing industry continues to run above 50%, which shows that under the downward pressure of the global economy, the Asian economy still maintains good resilience and steady growth. At present, China is still an important engine of economic growth in Asia. Fitch Ratings, an international rating agency, stressed in its Global Economic Outlook report recently that China will become the fastest growing country among the major economies in the world, and it is estimated that the annual economic growth rate will be 5.6%, 0.4 percentage points higher than the forecast in March. Officials of the International Monetary Fund also said earlier that China’s economy is expected to grow by 5.2% in 2023, which will continue to be the growth engine of the Asia-Pacific region, and China’s economy will also be an important driving force for global economic recovery in the future.

General Administration of Customs: China’s foreign trade increased by 11.3% in the first 10 months.

  CCTV News:This morning, the General Administration of Customs announced:In the first 10 months of this year, China’s import and export of goods reached 25.05 trillion yuan, up 11.3% year-on-year. Imports and exports continued to maintain a steady growth momentum.Among them, exports were 13.35 trillion yuan, up 7.9%, and imports were 11.7 trillion yuan, up 15.5%.

  Li Kuiwen, Director of Statistics and Analysis Department of General Administration of Customs:In the first 10 months, China’s import and export maintained steady growth, mainly because the world economy showed a recovery momentum, the domestic economy was generally stable, steady and progressing, a series of policies to stabilize foreign trade were continuously released, and the business environment continued to improve.

  The improvement of business environment promotes the steady growth of foreign trade.

  The development of foreign trade of enterprises cannot be separated from the support of policy environment. An enterprise in Shandong once influenced the development of the enterprise because of the unequal export tax rebate.

  Wang Xiaochun, Director of Customs Clearance Section of Qingdao Customs Office in Zaozhuang:The export tax rebate rate is 5%, while the export tax rebate rate of raw materials in stainless steel wire rods is 13%. The inversion of export tax rebate rate of raw materials and finished products directly affects the production cost of enterprises, which leads to the suppression of processing and export of enterprises.

  After learning about this situation through tariff investigation, the customs actively applied for adjusting the tax rate, which was approved by the state: the export tax rebate rate was raised from 5% to 10%.

  Sun Yan, a company in Zaozhuang, Shandong:An increase of 5 points in the tax rebate rate has brought direct income of nearly 10 million yuan to enterprises, and more importantly, it has greatly enhanced our competitiveness in the international market.

  In Shenzhen, customs has made enterprises feel real convenience in import and export through a series of measures such as optimizing customs clearance process, simplifying examination and approval procedures and shortening customs clearance time.

  Wu Chunyan, head of the import and export department of a technology company in Shenzhen: As long as we have reasonable demands, they can help us solve them in time.

  Chen Xiaoying, Commissioner of Shenzhen Customs:On the basis of the sharp reduction of customs clearance time in the previous year, this year’s import has been reduced by 17.0% and export by 42.0%, so the effect is still quite obvious.

  The continuous improvement of the port business environment has benefited enterprises, and made countries around the world see unlimited business opportunities from the China market.

  Li Kuiwen, Director of Statistics and Analysis Department of General Administration of Customs:According to the latest report of the World Bank, China’s global ranking in the field of cross-border trade rose by 32 places to 65th place, which provided strong support for the steady growth of foreign trade.

  Actively expand opening up, import and export more balanced.

  Customs statistics show that since the beginning of this year, China’s imports have maintained rapid growth, and the growth rate is higher than that of exports in the same period. The development of import and export has become more balanced, and the door to opening up has become wider and wider.

  These days, the import Expo being held in Shanghai has attracted the attention of domestic and foreign merchants, and a three-day matchmaking meeting is also underway. With 8,000 square meters of site and more than 300 negotiation tables, a cooperation is reached every few minutes on average. In addition to China’s huge market, enterprises all over the world value the continuously open cross-border trade environment. Only the extension of the endorsement of exhibition exhibits introduced by the customs allows enterprises to obtain exhibition time.

  Dai Congrong, Second Division of Shanghai Customs Field Business:It reduces the need for enterprises to go to the customs one more time to apply for the extension of relevant passports. At the same time, the biggest effect is to provide them with more time (display and sales) for how to expand their participation after the exhibition.

  Li Kuiwen, Director of Statistics and Analysis Department of General Administration of Customs:The China Import Expo being held is an important measure for China to open its market to the world, which fully demonstrates China’s determination to actively expand imports.

  The pace of China’s opening to the outside world is not only reflected in the import fair, but also in the release of dividends at various ports across the country. Putting taxes first is one of the important reforms to reduce the overall customs clearance time and improve customs clearance efficiency, and it is also the customs clearance method chosen by more and more enterprises. However, if the goods are released first, the enterprise needs to provide guarantee for the tax. This petrochemical company in Zibo needs to pay a deposit of nearly 100 million yuan according to the tax rate of 16% every time it imports more than 1 million barrels of crude oil.

  Hu Jun, Director of Customs Department of Jinan Customs:80% of the tax source of Jinan Customs is bulk cargo, and these enterprises occupy high funds and customs clearance costs in the process, which is a difficult problem that the Customs needs to solve.

  In order to solve this problem, the General Administration of Customs has launched a pilot program of tariff guarantee insurance throughout the country. Led by Jinan Customs, four companies insured PICC P&C Insurance in China for 500 million yuan on the first day. Among them, Zibo, a petrochemical company, insured 250 million yuan, making it the largest insurance policy in China since the pilot.

  Cui Yunfang, head of a petrochemical company in Zibo:The efficiency of customs clearance has been improved, and the cost of demurrage for the whole ship has been reduced in disguise. The second is that if our funds are delayed, it will be beneficial for us to calculate the cost of financial funds.

  The latest statistics of the General Administration of Customs show that in the first 10 months, China’s imports were 11.7 trillion yuan, up by 15.5%, and the trade surplus was 1.65 trillion yuan, narrowing by 26.1%. Import and export are more balanced. At the same time, China’s imports of crude oil, natural gas and copper have increased substantially, which is providing a steady stream of power for the world economy.

  Li Kuiwen, Director of Statistics and Analysis Department of General Administration of Customs:The customs will resolutely implement the national decision-making and deployment to expand imports, further improve the level of customs clearance facilitation, continuously optimize the business environment at ports, reduce the institutional costs of import links, and stimulate import potential.

  Private enterprises performed well in foreign trade, and imports and exports increased by 14.6% year-on-year.

  Customs statistics show that in the first 10 months, the import and export of China’s private enterprises increased by 14.6% year-on-year, which has become a highlight of China’s foreign trade development.

  At the just-concluded Canton Fair, a personalized ceramic bathroom product attracted the attention of many foreign merchants. The reason why the company can realize personalized customization is precisely because the company used 3D printing technology in mold production.

  Jiang Zexing, head of a 3D printing technology company in Shenzhen:For example, in the ceramic industry, our traditional practice of adding 30 or 50 processes and steps can be completed in three steps at most with 3D printing.

  With the continuous maturity of 3D printing technology, it has been widely used in many fields, such as automobile, medical care, aerospace and so on, which has also enabled Shenzhen, a private enterprise, to find a market, and foreign trade orders have been placed for one year.

  Customs statistics show that in the first 10 months, the import and export of private enterprises in China reached 9.88 trillion yuan, up 14.6% year-on-year, of which 6.38 trillion yuan was exported, up 11.2%, and 3.5 trillion yuan was imported, up 21.5% year-on-year, which was 3.3 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of China’s foreign trade.

  Li Kuiwen, Director of Statistics and Analysis Department of General Administration of Customs:The Customs will conscientiously implement the spirit of the important speech delivered by the Supreme Leader General Secretary at the symposium of private enterprises, take more effective measures to help private enterprises solve difficulties in development and support private enterprises to actively explore the international market.

  Foreign trade with all trading partners has maintained rapid growth.

  In addition, customs statistics show that in the first 10 months, the import and export between China and the EU was 3.68 trillion yuan, an increase of 8.4%; Imports and exports with the United States reached 3.44 trillion yuan, up by 7.4%. In the same period, the import and export between China and ASEAN was 3.18 trillion yuan, an increase of 13.7%; Imports and exports with Latin America and Africa increased by 16.3% and 15.5% respectively, which was higher than the overall growth rate of China’s foreign trade in the same period.

  Li Kuiwen, Director of Statistics and Analysis Department of General Administration of Customs:In the first 10 months of this year, the growth rate of China’s trade with countries along the Belt and Road was 3.5 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of China’s foreign trade in the same period. (Foreign) trade with countries along the "Belt and Road" has become a new driving force for China’s foreign trade development. (CCTV reporter Sun Shuwen Zhao Xuefeng)

Awkward "6+1"! Trump’s move once caught the heads of six countries off guard.

  Cctv newsOn 25th, the G-7 summit held the first day of discussion. The summit discussed the Iranian nuclear issue, global trade frictions, Amazon forest fires and global inequality.

  However, no concrete results have been achieved on major international issues. Analysts believe that the tension between the G-7 countries remains the same, and the pattern of "Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada and Japan against the United States" remains unchanged.

  This "6+1" situation of the G-7 is very obvious on the issue of Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif’s surprise visit to the summit venue on the 25th.

  Iranian foreign minister’s surprise visit to the United States continuously denied the French statement

  An official from the French diplomatic department revealed that the United States and other countries attending the meeting had been informed of Zarif’s arrival. But just a few hours later, the White House came out and said that it didn’t know Zarif would come to biarritz and had no plans to meet with Zarif. On the 24th of the previous day, French diplomatic channels revealed that the leaders of the seven countries hoped to hold a dialogue through France and then transmit the information to the United States. However, US President Trump directly denied it on the 25th, saying that he had not made a similar statement. Reuters directly commented that the tension at the G-7 summit had surfaced.

  The United States and Britain have different views on the issue of trade friction.

  The same problem also appears on the issue of global trade friction. On the morning of 25th, Trump held talks with British Prime Minister Johnson. During the talks, Trump said that other countries did not put pressure on him on the issue of trade friction. But Johnson immediately suggested that he hoped to avoid trade friction.

  The tension stems from the US government. "unpredictability"

  Some analysts believe that the emergence of tensions between the G-7 countries almost all stems from the unpredictability since the Trump administration took office in the United States. At the G-7 summit in 2018, after the release of the joint communique, Trump suddenly said that he did not recognize the communique, which caught the heads of other six countries off guard. On the 26th, whether there will be a joint communique has become a big point of view.

Aauto Quicker embarked on the old road of long video.

Text | New Berry daybreak Xia Wenxin

When I heard that Aauto Quicker also promoted homemade variety shows, my first reaction was a little surprised. Knowing the co-producers behind it, I realized that variety shows are just appearances, and the mystery behind them is Aauto Quicker’s real appeal.

On February 24th, Aauto Quicker launched the star variety "Sleep at 11 o’clock". The program was initiated by Z.TAO, and each issue invited four celebrities to challenge whether they could successfully fall asleep before 11 o’clock. At present, this program has aired seven issues.

In essence, this is a program co-created by Aauto Quicker and a bedding company called "Xilinmen". In the planning stage, the content is embedded for brand marketing, planting grass and bringing goods.

It can be understood that this is a kind of advanced customized advertisement launched by Aauto Quicker for brand owners.

However, the excitement of "Sleep at 11 o’clock" seems to be confined to Aauto Quicker, and most users simply don’t know the existence of this program. Because only four netizens gave comments, Sleep at 11 o’clock has not been divided in Douban.

Aauto Quicker has been increasing its investment in content resources, and self-made variety shows are only one of them. Vertical fields such as short play, sports, film and television, and knowledge are the tracks that are focused on. The most direct feeling of users is that "the short video has become longer".

Why did Aauto Quicker embark on the old road of "loving Youteng"?

01, from short to long

"Sleep at 11 o’clock" is not Aauto Quicker’s first attempt in the field of variety. The connection between Aauto Quicker and variety shows can be traced back to 2017. At the end of the first season of Tucao Conference, Li Dan introduced the APP Aauto Quicker to the audience in a teasing way.

Brand implantation is a combination of Aauto Quicker and variety in the early days, which also made Aauto Quicker realize the powerful drainage ability of variety. As a result, Aauto Quicker increased investment and seized the beachhead, while accumulating resources and gaining momentum. Being a sponsor of the variety track can no longer bear Aauto Quicker’s ambition.

Aauto Quicker, who has a natural comedy gene, fired the first shot of self-made variety show with "8: 30 hilarious" in April 2020. Subsequently, talk show "Super Nice Conference", food social file "Yue is luckier with hard work", impromptu comedy "Time Shop" and other self-made variety shows were launched one after another, and Aauto Quicker launched a new layout of self-made variety shows in an all-round way.

In the broadcast form, Aauto Quicker has made a compound live broadcast, and the card segment adds some broadcast and playback. "Time and Space Shop" is to cut it into a very short video, fast-paced, and there is no empty shot. "Sleep at 11 o’clock" is broadcast live.

But variety shows are not Aauto Quicker’s ultimate goal, but brand marketing is.

This is similar to bilibili’s self-made variety show. Both companies have community genes, and UGC is rich in content, but it is not conducive to realizing it. Only through self-made content, it not only takes care of the C-end user experience, but also has marketing demands.

Another trend of "lengthening" in Aauto Quicker is to accelerate the layout of sports copyright and ecological construction, which is also inseparable from the keyword "marketing".

Aauto Quicker’s determination to enter sports can be reflected by Mao Haifeng, head of the commercialization of Aauto Quicker Magnetic Engine content, who said, "Sports marketing is spiritual marketing, which occupies a higher position above entertainment marketing".

The most widely known thing is that Aauto Quicker won the right to broadcast the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. In fact, Aauto Quicker is also the official live broadcast platform of CBA China professional basketball match and UCL European Champions League, and has become the first content innovation partner of NBA China.

In addition to nodal large-scale events, Aauto Quicker also tries to expand its capacity in the vertical field of sports. At present, Aauto Quicker has built a sports content ecology covering more than 40 categories such as billiards, surfing, fishing and fighting.

Aauto Quicker’s investment in content continues, and he has no intention of stopping.

On the track of film and animation, Aauto Quicker is even bolder. Previously, Aauto Quicker had acquired ACFUN (Station A) in a bold way, trying to stabilize the ecological foundation of the second element, but with little effect.

Then, Aauto Quicker accessed small programs such as PP movies, popular videos and Mango TV in the station, and directly purchased the copyrights of some movies and TV works, and integrated all the above resources and put them on the first-level entrance of the home page in the form of "Aauto Quicker screening hall".

These actions seem to be the routine operation means of "Youaiteng".

02. The cost of content is rising.

Aauto Quicker of UGC platform gene wants to lay out the content ecology, so it is impossible to go into battle with his bare hands, but to throw down real money.

In the annual report of Aauto Quicker in 2021, the cost of sales increased by 34.6% from RMB 35 billion in 2020 to RMB 47.1 billion in 2021. One of the main reasons is that "enriching the content category and content ecology will increase the content cost in other sales costs." 」

High copyright fees and content costs have always been a headache for long video websites. The fierce battle between the giants has raised the price of content copyright, so that the three long video websites are facing the dilemma of making ends meet all the year round. Take iQiyi as an example. According to the financial report, its revenue in the fourth quarter was 7.4 billion yuan, but the content cost was 4.9 billion yuan.

Now Aauto Quicker has also joined the ranks of long video content investment. This is somewhat incredible. Earlier, there were online rumors that Aauto Quicker spent 2.5 billion yuan on the copyright of the two Olympic Games, and the copyright fee of NBA has always been famous for its sky-high price.

Compared with the huge cost, the results and benefits are not so ideal.

The self-made variety show did not go out of Aauto Quicker, and the audience had obvious feelings. In the seventh issue of "Sleep at 11 o’clock", perhaps because of the lack of stars in the town, the audience who participated in the interaction was not as enthusiastic as before.

According to the cat’s eye data, Tencent’s self-made video variety "Half-cooked Lovers" broadcast in the same period ranked first in the hot list of the whole network, with a cumulative broadcast volume of 1.205 billion. Unlike "Half-baked Lovers", which topped the Japanese crown for 18 times, Aauto Quicker’s self-made variety shows never entered the list.

Aauto Quicker wants to increase private traffic and build social trust, which, to a certain extent, promotes the popularity of homemade variety shows on the two platforms of Cat’s Eye and Douban. But it’s not enough for Aauto Quicker users to get out of the circle.

In terms of sports events, Aauto Quicker’s performance is also unsatisfactory: as the only short video platform that won the copyright of the Winter Olympics, its advantages have not been fully demonstrated.

According to the Aauto Quicker Battle Report, from January 1 to February 23, the total broadcast volume of winter Olympics-related works and topic videos inside and outside Aauto Quicker reached 154.48 billion, and the total number of athletes related to winter Olympics increased by more than 38 million.

However, Tik Tok, who didn’t get the rights and interests related to the competition, was ahead of his competitors in data performance. From February 1st to 20th, the total broadcast volume of Tik Tok ice and snow sports related videos reached 164.5 billion, and the total number of accounts of ice and snow athletes increased by over 40.75 million.

03. What is Aauto Quicker fighting for?

Aauto Quicker’s latest financial report for 2021 shows that the adjusted net loss is 18.852 billion yuan. As a one-year-old listed company, Aauto Quicker is constantly experiencing the "soul question" of the market, which is related to market value, K-line and expectation.

Aauto Quicker has been trying to gain market recognition in the past.

Aauto Quicker tried to "get faster". In 2019, faced with the pressure of Tik Tok’s rapid rise, Aauto Quicker launched a sprint to 300 million DAU, code-named "K3 Campaign" in Aauto Quicker. Although the final goal was achieved, the main growth came from the Extreme Edition. Two years later, the DAU in Aauto Quicker was basically stable at around 300 million, and there was no significant increase.

As users grow, they must also solve the problem of liquidation. Live reward has been receiving constant regulatory attention. Before the crisis of this income model, which once accounted for 70% to 80% of Aauto Quicker, Aauto Quicker turned to "lengthening" and sought to realize advertising.

In the first step, Aauto Quicker needs to actively optimize the content ecology.

Like the rich content carried by the long video, Aauto Quicker began to use the form of short video to incite more rich and multidimensional content. As a result, Aauto Quicker began to cover more vertical categories, such as variety, sports, film and television, education, health and so on.

There are more and more contents and longer videos. On the one hand, it is to gain more user growth, on the other hand, it is to give existing users a wider range of choices.

In the 2021 financial report, Aauto Quicker’s online marketing service revenue was 42.7 billion yuan, up 95.2% year-on-year, which was the largest revenue source. Among them, the growth rate of brand advertising revenue is fierce, achieving a year-on-year growth of over 150%.

Two important factors attract advertisers, one is the duration of users, and the other is the tonality of content. Judging from Aauto Quicker’s investment in the content side in the past, they are all completed around these two goals.

Aauto Quicker’s official argument is that by combining information, real-time event content and user interaction, it has opened up a new path for the operation of sports content, providing more interaction and duration beyond the consumption of sports events. The data shows that in the third quarter of 2021, the total time spent by users on sports content increased by more than 1.5 times compared with the same period of last year.

These are the reasons for the increase of brand advertising revenue in Aauto Quicker in 2021. The variety of content has also enriched the ways of realizing advertising in Aauto Quicker.

In addition to the happiness in Sleeping at 11 o’clock mentioned at the beginning, the Aauto Quicker Small Theater "Today’s Menu Really Want to Be Together" also implanted a brand for Mengniu. It not only combines the names of the male and female protagonists skillfully, but also strengthens brand awareness everywhere in the scene and plot.

The Winter Olympics mobilization interview program "Snow Hero" provides self-made content and deep brand building for Link Auto. In addition to brand implantation, Aauto Quicker also helps to diversify brand cooperation through interactive games, customized expressions and online challenges.

Aauto Quicker’s "lengthening" means "widening", aiming at broadening the user groups and income structure. Aauto Quicker, which you are familiar with and deeply loved by users in the sinking market, is actively embracing the mainstream from the silent majority. The largest live broadcast company is turning into an advertising company.

Officials who fell on the road of "poverty alleviation": 11 people in a 27-person unit were corrupt and used poverty alleviation funds to lend usury.

  CCTV News:As China’s poverty alleviation and development has entered a critical stage, the central and local governments’ investment in poverty alleviation funds has been increasing. What should be the "life-saving money" of the poor has become the "cash cow" of some corrupt officials.

  These leading cadres have lost their ideals and beliefs and engaged in corruption under the pretext of helping the poor. They use various means such as making things out of nothing, making false reports and taking the initiative, intercepting private parts, and colluding with others, making the field of poverty alleviation a high-incidence area of unhealthy practices that infringe on the interests of the masses and corruption.

  Fan Zengyu, former director of the Foreign Investment Project Management Center of the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office, is one of them.

  The corruption path of poverty alleviation officials: obtaining tens of millions of assets by cheating and lending usury with poverty alleviation funds

  In 2004, Fan Zengyu was transferred to Henan Poverty Alleviation Office. Two years later, Fan Zengyu was transferred to Beijing to take charge of the training center for cadres in poverty-stricken areas in the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office. Three years later, Fan Zengyu was promoted to the position of Director of Foreign Investment Project Management Center of the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office.

  "I served as a department-level cadre in 1992, and served as a deputy department-level and director-level cadre after 2006. It is the fastest one promoted by the the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office from the deputy hall to the main hall in recent years."

  In June 2008, Fan Zengyu met with Ding Yuxin (formerly known as Ding Shumiao), then the chairman of Boao Investment Management Group Co., Ltd.

  The road to corruption of collusion between officials and businessmen began.

  According to the prosecution’s accusation, at the end of 2009, Fan Zengyu illegally appropriated RMB 2.6 million donated by Ding Yuxin to the Office of the Leading Group for Poverty Alleviation and Development of the State Council.

  From 2009 to 2010, Fan Zengyu accepted Ding Yuxin’s request and provided him with the opportunity to donate money to poverty alleviation projects organized by the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office, so as to establish a positive image and avoid investigation by relevant departments. To this end, Fan Zengyu has asked for or accepted Ding Yuxin for 38 times, which is equivalent to 40.13 million yuan.

  From August to November, 2010, Fan Zengyu fictionalized the fact that he helped Ding Yuxin repay Zhu’s debts and defrauded Ding Yuxin of RMB 3.9 million.

  In December, 2010, pretending to be the relevant leader, he contacted Ding Yuxin by SMS, and defrauded Ding Yuxin of RMB 2 million and Euro200,000 successively.

  From the end of December 2010 to the Spring Festival of 2011, after learning that Ding Yuxin had been taken compulsory measures by the public security organs, he lied to Zhang, a subordinate of Ding Yuxin, that he knew the relevant leaders, which could help Ding Yuxin smooth the relationship, and successively defrauded Zhang’s property for a total of more than RMB 8.9 million.

  Fan Zengyu got to know Ding Yuxin for more than two years, and got as much as 60 million yuan from Ding. Its appetite is huge and insatiable, which is amazing.

  On April 29, 2015, Beijing No.1 Intermediate People’s Court sentenced him to death with a suspended sentence for accepting bribes, corruption and fraud, and confiscated all his personal property.

  Fan Zengyu is not the only one on the road to corruption.

  Jiang Jinghuai, former director of the Old District Office of Lidun Town, zhouning county, Fujian Province, started the idea of special poverty alleviation funds. A friend pointed out the way to make a fortune for him. "Lending with public funds can earn some interest, and short-term turnover can be profitable. If you want to make a fortune, you can’t take risks." Driven by interests, Jiang Jinghuai embezzled the subsidy of 575,000 yuan for the implementation of the second phase of the geological disaster relocation benefit project in Dongshan Village, Lidun Town. He transferred 500 thousand yuan to the personal account of "partner" for usury, and the remaining 75 thousand yuan was used for reception and personal expenses "Partners" fulfilled their revenue commitments as agreed, and in a few years, Jiang Jinghuai earned more than 500,000 yuan.

  "Without the spirit of adventure, how can you achieve your career? This opportunity to make a fortune has finally arrived!" Just when Jiang Jinghuai was dreaming of making a fortune, he didn’t know that the net of discipline and law had been built over to him.

  On June 22, 2017, Jiang Jinghuai was expelled from the party. For committing the crime of corruption, zhouning county People’s Court sentenced Jiang Jinghuai to four years and two months’ imprisonment and fined 600,000 yuan, and the 575,000 yuan for the benefit of loans and personal expenses was also recovered according to law.

  "Goose plucking" Poverty Alleviation: Only 30% of the 10 million poverty alleviation funds are left in the poverty alleviation office.

  Corruption in the field of poverty alleviation is not just an individual phenomenon. It is not uncommon for many people in poverty alleviation departments to corrupt and collude with each other, and it is not uncommon for some poverty alleviation offices to fall into the whole.

  Huayuan County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province is a national poverty-stricken county. In September, 2013, Hunan Provincial Water Resources Department officially approved the actual investment of 10.71 million yuan in Zhuchao Project for comprehensive control of soil erosion on sloping farmland in this county. During the bidding and construction of this project, Shimou, director of county water conservancy bureau, Longmou, deputy director of water conservation bureau, Mamou and others, as well as Hu, then chief of regulation department of Zhangjiajie Grain Bureau, and Shumou, driver of Huayuan County Water Conservation Bureau, etc., manipulated bidding, forged final accounts of the project, and falsely reported the engineering quantity. The 303 hectares of soil erosion area that was originally planned to be controlled was finally completed less than 23%.

  Cadres at provincial, state and county levels are involved in the case. The discipline inspection and supervision organs of Hunan Province put 24 people on file for review and admonished 35 people who received red envelopes. The number of people involved and the depth of violation of discipline and law are shocking.

  In yuping county, Guizhou Province, a poverty relief office with a total population of 27 people exposed a corruption case, involving two former leaders, six current leaders and three middle-level business backbones.

  Jian Guanglu, former Party Secretary and Director of Poverty Alleviation Office in Yuping County, Guizhou Province (video screenshot)

  In July 2007, the Guizhou Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection informed the Yuping County Poverty Alleviation Office of the serious corruption case and accountability. The circular pointed out that from April 2012 to May 2016, Jian Guanglu, the former party secretary and director of Yuping County Poverty Alleviation Office, repeatedly instructed relevant personnel of the unit to collect "working funds" from enterprises and individuals applying for credit poverty alleviation discount funds, set up a "small treasury" privately, and used it to distribute employee benefits in violation of regulations and share it with some personnel. At the same time, the county poverty alleviation office did not strictly check the information of enterprises applying for discount loans, resulting in eight enterprises colluding with bank staff to obtain discount funds.

  The case involved 11 party member cadres, 1 bank employee and 8 enterprises of the county poverty alleviation office, and accumulated 3.78 million yuan of disciplinary funds. The people involved in the case were severely dealt with, among them, seven people, including Jian Guanglu and Xiang Hui, former party member and deputy director of Yuping County Poverty Alleviation Office, were transferred to judicial organs for legal treatment.

  In 2012, in the series of corruption cases of poverty alleviation in Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia, 10 poverty alleviation officials from eight poverty alleviation offices, including Bayannaoer City and Wuyuan County, were investigated and dealt with, and the total amount of corruption reached 8.3 million yuan. According to the survey, the poverty alleviation funds were skinned layer by layer: 40% was deducted in the name of "activity funds" from the city to Qixian, and 40% was deducted from Qixian to townships. The "activity funds" were subsequently embezzled by some cadres. Among them, Guo, the former director of the Municipal Poverty Alleviation Office, embezzled 3.73 million yuan after serving for three years, and there were still more than 1.02 million yuan of huge property that could not explain the legal source. The investigators of the procuratorate said: "Some poverty alleviation offices have fallen as a whole."

  Open confrontation with the investigation: hunger strike, suicide, pouncing on biting, and the accounts are "flawless"

  The process of interrogating these corrupt officials was not smooth sailing. Some officials were lucky, refused to explain the problem, and even used extreme means to confront the case handlers.

 

  Zhou Hui, former member of the Standing Committee of Shawan County Committee in Tacheng District, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (data map)

  Zhou Hui, former member of the Standing Committee of Shawan County Committee in Tacheng District, Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, used the policies of the state and autonomous regions to support agriculture, benefit farmers and help the poor, and arranged staff to obtain funds and financial allocations for various projects in the state and autonomous regions by means of false reporting and reporting projects, and withheld farmers’ self-raised funds and land contract fees, which were managed outside the account and set up a small treasury, involving tens of millions of yuan.

  After the incident, Zhou Hui not only went on hunger strike intermittently for several months, but also threatened the case handlers in a suicidal way from time to time, so that at least three policemen accompanied him 24 hours a day in his cell. He not only curses, but also jumps on and bites when he is manic, and often makes a hullabaloo about at night. Zhou Hui also said that he had stomach cancer and had a definite diagnosis in Beijing Grand Hospital. Every day, he cried out that he had to go to Beijing for treatment. The case-handling personnel contacted the hospital in Beijing as soon as possible. The diagnosis certificate proved that there was no cancer at all. He just had an examination there before.

  The unnecessary resistance did not let Zhou Hui escape the punishment of the law. On February 6, 2016, Zhou Hui was sentenced to 19 years in prison for committing corruption and misappropriation of public funds.

  Huang Dajian, former deputy director of the Audit Bureau of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hunan Province, regards poverty alleviation as a "cash cow" for his personal gain. From 2007 to 2008, Huang Dajian defrauded poverty alleviation funds totaling 120,000 yuan by means of falsely reporting poverty alleviation projects and falsely invoicing. At the end of 2008, Huang Dajian won 50,000 yuan of citrus industry development poverty alleviation funds without authorization in the name of the poverty alleviation working group. In 2010, he colluded with his wife and brother Li Shanchuan and put the 50,000 yuan into his pocket by means of false invoicing and reimbursement.

  In the face of censorship, Huang Dajian still has luck.

  "His mouth was so hard that he refused to explain anything at first."

  According to the investigators, Huang Dajian used his own experience in auditing to defraud poverty alleviation funds by borrowing funds first and then falsely invoicing for reimbursement. Therefore, from the accounts alone, Huang Dajian’s work can be described as "seamless". Facing the police handling the case, he also plausibly said: "I am a cadre who has been engaged in auditing for many years. How can I know the law and break the law? There is definitely no problem in the use of poverty alleviation funds."

  Anti-corruption police re-adjusted their thinking and strengthened their clues. After Li Shanchuan was arrested and brought to justice, Huang Dajian could no longer find a reason to shirk, bowed his head and truthfully confessed all his criminal facts. In June 2015, the court sentenced Huang Dajian and Li Shanchuan to four years and one year and five months respectively for corruption.

  From personal "reaching out" to "swallowing up", this corruption case that fell on the road to poverty alleviation is shocking. While implementing the strategy of "Great Poverty Alleviation" and increasing investment in projects and funds, these cases also remind the party and the government to strengthen supervision and supervision over poverty alleviation cadres and ensure that these measures for benefiting the people can really "land".

In the data, China’s foreign trade development has become a key word.

CCTV News:Statistics from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange show that at the end of October, the scale of China’s foreign exchange reserves was $3,101.2 billion.

The relevant person in charge of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange said that in October, exchange rate conversion and asset price changes combined to reduce the scale of foreign exchange reserves in that month. China’s economy has maintained a good recovery trend, and the fundamentals of economic development have not changed, which is conducive to the continued stability of the scale of foreign exchange reserves.

The total import and export value of China’s goods trade is 34.32 trillion yuan.

According to the data released by the General Administration of Customs yesterday (November 7), in October, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade was 3.54 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 0.9%.

Overall, in the first 10 months of this year, the total import and export value of China’s goods trade was 34.32 trillion yuan, a slight increase of 0.03% year-on-year. In October, the monthly and cumulative growth rate of China’s foreign trade both turned positive.

According to customs statistics, in the first 10 months of this year, China’s total import and export value of goods trade was 34.32 trillion yuan, a slight increase of 0.03% year-on-year. Among them, exports were 19.55 trillion yuan, up 0.4%, and imports were 14.77 trillion yuan, down 0.5%. In the month of October, China’s import and export was 3.54 trillion yuan, up 0.9% year-on-year, and the monthly import and export trend was more consolidated.

According to customs statistics, in the first 10 months of this year, China’s import and export to countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road" reached 15.96 trillion yuan, up 3.2% year-on-year, accounting for 46.5% of China’s foreign trade. Among them, the import and export to ASEAN was 5.23 trillion yuan, an increase of 0.9%; Imports and exports to Central and Eastern European countries reached 781.11 billion yuan, up by 2.7%; Imports and exports to five Central Asian countries reached 505.35 billion yuan, an increase of 34.8%.

Customs statistics show that in October this year, China imported 1.57 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.4%, which strongly boosted the growth of foreign trade in that month. In the same period, the total import and export of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces was 1.02 trillion yuan, an increase of 1.9%, which was higher than the national overall level, and achieved new results in promoting the comprehensive revitalization of Northeast China.

What do you think of the monthly and cumulative growth rate of foreign trade turning positive?

From the trend, the cumulative growth rate of China’s foreign trade in the first 10 months turned from a slight decrease of 0.2% in the first three quarters to an increase of 0.03%. Among them, the monthly growth rate in October turned from a year-on-year decrease for four consecutive months from June to an increase of 0.9%.

How to treat the monthly growth rate and cumulative growth rate of foreign trade as positive? Let’s listen to the interpretation of experts.

Wu Sa, Deputy Director of Economic Research Institute of China Macroeconomic Research Institute:In the first ten months of this year, the growth rate of China’s foreign trade turned positive, which was the comprehensive result of the effectiveness of the previous stimulus policies and the recovery of market fundamentals. This year, especially since the second half of the year, a series of "combination boxing" policies to stimulate the economy have been introduced in time and continued to exert their strength, which has improved the economic expectations of the market, boosted the confidence of enterprises, directly brought about the stabilization and improvement of domestic demand, and the recovery area has been expanding. In October this year, the growth rate of import volume of major commodities mostly rebounded from the previous month, and the rebound rate was significantly higher than the import price. From the perspective of economic fundamentals, in the first two quarters of this year, the national economy was low, medium and high before operation, and it showed stable operation and continued to improve in the third quarter. China is in an important period of accelerating the transformation of old and new kinetic energy and a critical period of promoting high-quality development, which contains huge development opportunities, which is also an important basis for promoting the continuous improvement of China’s foreign trade.

High-level intelligent driving enters the 70,000-level market! BYD Releases Eye of God Technology Matrix

On February 10th, BYD held a press conference on BYD’s intelligent strategy of "Eye of God Initiates the Age of National Intelligent Driving" in Shenzhen, and released the national intelligent driving strategy, and launched the "Eye of God" advanced intelligent driving system. Wang Chuanfu, president of BYD Group, announced that all BYD models will be equipped with high-level intelligent driving to achieve full coverage of high-level intelligent driving.

As early as 2018, BYD proposed that "the first half of new energy vehicles is electrified, the second half is intelligent, and good technology should be available to everyone". In the first half, the popularity of BYD’s blade battery and DM plug-in technology led the development of electric vehicles, and in the second half, the popularity of BYD’s high-level intelligent driving with the eye of God continued to lead the development of smart cars.

At the press conference, BYD demonstrated its vehicle intelligence strategy. The core of this strategy is to realize the efficient integration of electrification and intelligence through Xuanji intelligent architecture. It is the industry’s first intelligent architecture integrating intelligence and electricity, enabling the car to have an intelligent brain and neural network, with "three networks and four chains at both ends of one brain"-central brain, cloud AI and car AI, car networking +5G network+satellite network, sensor chain+control chain+data chain+mechanical chain. It can fully perceive, concentrate on thinking, accurately control and cooperate with execution like an advanced intelligent life.

It is worth mentioning that BYD’s architecture is also fully connected to DeepSeek, and Zhijia also mines "golden data" based on VLM: in 2024, the new training mileage was 72 million km/day; Iterate the model every seven days; By the end of 2025, the training mileage is estimated to be 150 million km/day.

In terms of R&D investment, BYD has more than 4,000 engineers focusing on the research and development of intelligent driving technology. BYD’s intelligent driving technology has leapt from L2 to L3/L4, and it is close to L3 in some high-end models, supporting high-speed NOA (Navigation Assisted Driving) and CNOA (Unmanned Urban Navigation). Its hardware configuration covers multi-sensor fusion schemes such as laser radar, millimeter-wave radar and camera, and the computing platform is a combination of self-developed chips and NVIDIA Orin series, with a maximum of 508TOPS.

Relying on its huge user base, BYD has built the largest Che Yun collaborative database in China, which provides massive data support for algorithm iteration. Its R&D team has a scale of 90,000 engineers, covering AI algorithms, chip design, vehicle integration and other fields, and has full-stack self-research capabilities.

The core of BYD’s strategy is to sink the high-level intelligent driving technology to the 100,000-yuan market and achieve full coverage of high-level intelligent driving. For example, Qin L, New Dolphin, Seal 06 DM-i and other entry-level models will be equipped with the "Eye of God" system, which greatly reduces the threshold for consumers to experience intelligent driving. This strategy not only challenges the high-cost technical barriers of traditional intelligent driving, but also forces the industry to accelerate technical iteration and cost optimization. At the same time, BYD adopts the layout of "third-order computing platform", including:

Eye of the God A- DiPilot 600: It is mainly installed in Wangwang brand, equipped with 3 laser radars, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, and 11 cameras equipped with dual Orin X chips, with a computing power of up to 508TOPS, and supports functions such as NOA without maps in urban areas.

DiPilot 300, Eye of God B- high-order intelligent driving laser version: it is equipped with Tengshi brand and BYD brand, equipped with a 96-line laser radar, 11 cameras, 5 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic radars, and adopts NVIDIA Orin X intelligent driving chip, with a computing power of 254TOPS, and supports high-speed+urban full-scene NOA.

Divine Eye C- DiPilot 100: It is mainly equipped with entry-level BYD models below 100,000 yuan, equipped with the world’s original forward-looking three-eye camera, with 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars and 12 cameras, using NVIDIA Orin N/ Horizon J6 M smart driving chip, with a computing power of 84TOPS, equipped with Orin N or black sesame chips, with a computing power of 84TOPS.

Among them, Eye of God C is the most shocking this time, and its high-speed NOA defined by BYD is designed for high-speed and urban expressway. With the help of high-speed navigation HNOA technology, the system can independently complete complex driving tasks such as going up/down ramp, lane keeping, cruising driving, autonomous lane changing and avoiding or bypassing some obstacles according to the navigation planning path.

At the same time, BYD also demonstrated the function of parking service AVP, which can realize intelligent services such as getting off the bus, parking, and picking up things at any time according to users’ actual parking habits and scenes. The memory navigation MNOA function is designed for high-frequency travel routes such as commuting, and can complete intelligent driving tasks such as starting and stopping traffic lights, passing at complex intersections, automatic overtaking, full-scene detour comity and game lane change.

According to the survey data of Observer Network, 74% of users will consider whether the vehicle is equipped with high-level intelligent driving when buying a car. Smart driving function has become a "hard indicator" for users to buy cars. Starting from the concept of "smart driving for all", BYD has pushed high-level smart driving technology from the high-end market to the mass market through technological innovation and cost control, breaking the strong relationship between smart driving and high prices and realizing the popularization of smart driving technology. BYD’s "Eye of the Gods" has made advanced intelligent driving as indispensable as seat belts and airbags, and at the same time, it has also promoted the position of China’s smart car industry in the global market.

At the end of the conference, BYD Dynasty Road and BYD Ocean Zhang Zhuo jointly released the first batch of 21 models of BYD Eye of God C, covering 70,000 to 200,000 classes, including seagulls with the most affordable price, which truly realized the full coverage of high-level intelligent driving and led the intelligent transformation of the automobile industry.

In addition, BYD will also bring "five standard items": DiLink 100 intelligent cockpit, 12.8-inch central control panel, full LCD instrument, capacitive steering wheel and special intelligent driving paddle. At the same time, in order to give back to old users, BYD also decided to upgrade the model of Eye of God C that supports high-speed navigation to support urban memory navigation function, and plans to push it by OTA before the end of the year.

Just as Wang Chuanfu said that "good technology should be available to everyone", when smart driving technology has changed from luxury to necessity, the automobile industry is undergoing a qualitative change from "power" to "intelligence". BYD’s enlargement has opened up the wisdom of the whole people, and truly achieved that technology is no longer high above, but serves the public!

Guide to "Realism" of Domestic Movies

After the Spring Festival, nearly five months passed, and the first truly popular domestic movie finally came.

Confident continuous large-scale screening, the number of people who want to see the dual platform is 800,000, the pre-sale box office is 50 million, and the screening is divided into dual platforms 9.7. These announcement actions and data results should be very clear in the industry.

"Life Events" is going to explode.

Even, counting the Spring Festival file, integrating the word-of-mouth of major platforms, and giving a title to "Life Events"Best of the year, also can be called deserved.

An evaluation from the ordinary audience may be right-

The process of watching this movie is to jump repeatedly between hahaha and meowed.

On the surface, it is not difficult to sum up where the audience’s good feelings for "Life Events" come from-

Uncle Lori’s classic combination, all-staff online performance, polished fine scripts, sincere and touching emotions.

If we take a closer look, Life Events has done a very good job in one of the most critical places, which is exactly what most domestic films have failed to do. To put it simply, it is what director Ning Hao mentioned before. In genre film creation, the most ideal goal points to-

Two words,Qiezhen.

For the creators and the audience, those who smile and shed tears in the movie are often the most fulfilling; For the audience, the feeling that life is like this and this story I believe from movies is often the most enjoyable.

Or directed by Ning Hao,Only at the moment of touching the truth can the audience and the creator achieve real communication.

This is the secret of the success of Life Events.

Cultural truthfulness

Touching the truth is not easy.

The first step really is the original intention of creation. Why make a movie? For the box office? To cater to the market? Or for self-expression?

Such a simple and rude division may not be fair, but different original intentions will indeed bring completely different realistic performances.

Specific to "Events in Life", director and screenwriter Liu Jiangjiang, a pure newcomer, has rich experience as a TV reporter. Because grandpa is a carpenter, he often makes coffins for people, and he has been exposed to the funeral industry since he was a child, plus more than two years of folk collection, which is all the real materials he accumulated before he constructed a film in his mind.

So what is the first key to this film, along with the original intention of creation?

It is the truth of the film atmosphere, the truth of the story background, or, more macroscopically, the truth of the cultural genes of the whole film.

That is, let the audience fully feel from the beginning-

This is the city we live in, this is the people we will meet and say in our life, and this is our familiar and unfamiliar cultural customs and cultural traditions passed down from generation to generation.

Liu Jiangjiang’s growth and collection of folk songs were mostly in North China, but in the end he chose to set the story in Wuhan, which, to some extent, took a fancy to the city’s cultural advantages.

The fireworks in Jiangcheng and the vivid dialect charm are two excellent auxiliary tools. After eating a bowl of Regan Noodles in a plastic box and saying something about the kidnapper, the audience will feel the truth, and then quickly enter the context of the film.

On top of this, there are the culture of death carved in Chinese’s bones-not only depicting the details of the funeral industry, but also showing the avoidance and disgust of ordinary people eating dead food.

No matter what attitude the audience takes, when Mo Sanmei shouts out those so-called funeral terms, at that moment, many people must be inexplicably touched and deeply immersed in it.

Similarly, some humorous and interesting passages are maximized in comedy, which also benefits from the clever use of this culture in the plays.

Behind the laughter and tears of the audience is the power of culture, and all the real movie-watching reactions of the audience are also the best feedback to the culture.

The characters are true

The cultural foundation, further down, is the concrete people in it.

The authenticity of the characters has always been the key to the success or failure of a movie.

In the event of life, most of them are based on the two absolute cores of San Ge and Xiao Wen. Specifically, there are two points in the film that are worthy of praise in terms of the truth of the characters-

One is a complete and credible growth arc.

Qualified genre films, character growth is standard. It should be said that the audience can guess what will happen to the third brother and Xiaowen at the end-one will find a new home and the other will find a new self-so the focus of Liu Jiangjiang and Han Yan’s creation is to make this growth process complete and convincing.

Especially for the audience in China, integrity is second, but it is not credible, which is very important.

The polishing of this part of the script, especially the behavioral logic design of several key plots of the characters, is very solid and professional.

The creator must understand that when the audience suddenly asked why TA did this in the dark cinema, the film was already losing the audience.

If the characters are true, they need the audience to give TA, which is the response to this role-the former is to satisfy the audience’s personal prejudgment, and the latter is the surprise that the creator buried one step ahead of the audience.

At this moment of the movie, every audience can feel the growth of the third brother.

The second is to create the most real details.

Detail is a weapon to depict characters and a bridge to touch the truth. Just give a few examples—

The third brother appeared, and in the first scene, he wore a small shirt and sat in the driver’s seat of a van, playing around and sending voice to his girlfriend. Then get off the bus, spit out the chewing gum, take out a cigarette and lick it, pick up one from the pile of paper money and light it, and bicker with others while directing the work until you enter the next scene.

After this series of actions, even if nothing has happened, the image of this character will stand up in front of the audience at once.

Then to Xiaowen, her details are even more vivid.

For example, the third brother lost track of time. When running all the way went to the kindergarten, Xiaowen, who had been waiting for a long time, saw him, his head was still low, but his mouth was raised, and his smile was half shy and half expecting.

Xiaowen’s feelings for the third brother have changed, and this smile alone is enough.

More easily detected, or crying.

Because there are a lot of crying scenes in Xiaowen, we can see that the creators are deliberately making distinctions and using different crying to present more delicate characters’ emotions and moods.

The first big tear in the movie is the crying of Xiaowen, who is very real and childlike after being told the truth by the third brother in the funeral home.

Later, we can not only see Xiaowen’s silent tears of missing her grandmother in the sky, but also wake up in a taxi and cry in panic at the back window.

Including the following paragraph, in a panic, Xiaowen called the third brother first, and then blurted out the father directly. These details are too consistent with the true performance of a child, and this small change is an absolutely lethal tear moment for the delicate audience.

In fact, behind the details, it is still the careful logical thinking that leads.

In the final analysis, it is really a technical job that the difficult can’t and the learned can’t be difficult.

Emotional truthfulness

Finally, the ultimate goal is to have emotional empathy and resonance with the audience.

It should be said that from the cultural background to the characterization, there is no shortage of audience’s emotion and participation in every real link, but in the end, whether a movie’s emotion can touch the truth or not depends on the empathy, that is, whether the audience will think so-

This is the emotion that I have in my life, and this is the emotion that I expect to have in my life.

The communication between Life Events and the audience in this part is particularly rich.

Among them, there are two groups of important human relations, one master and one deputy-

The main line, the mutual warmth between the third brother and Xiaowen, strangers, from friends to father and daughter, is solid enough in every step, so solid that my uncle asks Xiaowen, who do you want to be with, Xiaowen jumps to the third brother’s side, without lines, just one eye contact is enough to warm the hearts of the audience.

The film also uses the transformation of two people’s perspectives to push this feeling forward all the time.

The third brother looked at Xiaowen in the yard and understood the loneliness and sadness of this unruly child.

Xiaowen looked at the third brother who was living in Wuzhishan from the bed and photographed his embarrassment of being crushed at the foot of the mountain. Perhaps she didn’t even realize this closeness.

Second line, third brother and old mo, the father and son.

Perhaps for many viewers, the emotional resonance of this sub-line is only much more than that of the main line.

It is not only because of the clumsiness of communication between them, but also because this relationship plays the most important role in the expression of the theme of the film.

Among them, there are not only three elder brothers who, with the help of their father, completed the advanced vocational skills and cognition, and then realized their personal growth, but also the sighs and helplessness conveyed by Lao Mo when he told the fate of the second brother in the reconciliation between father and son.

One sentenceIn order to catch a dead one, our family took a live one.This kind of pain, which is both professional and family, is direct to people’s hearts.

And when the main line and the secondary line are merged together, finally, the relationship tried to express is also sublimated-

From specific people to the living and the dead.

It seems to be talking about death, but it is still about those four words-

Live well.

Face up to the passing death and cherish the beauty of the present. The expression of the film is actually not complicated at all, but in the end, Lao Mo’s will became the real crowning touch of the film.

This design perfectly integrates culture, characters and emotions, and conveys the concept of life and death that the film tries to emphasize to every audience in the most effective and moving way.

After that, the wedding from the wedding shop to the funeral shop at the end was the most meaningful sublimation expression of this view of life and death by the director in camera language.

Now, we have all seen how powerful the power to touch the truth is.

For mainland audiences, this week’s event is to see "Life Events".

Standing at the mid-year node, we expect that Life Events will make a good start for this summer file and for China movies in the second half of the year.

Some works are destined to shoulder the significance and responsibility beyond the film itself.

One Liu Jiangjiang and one Han Yan are not enough.

We need more efforts to be realistic creators and the whole industry, and we need to find lasting and realistic ways and motivation.

At least "Life Events" makes us believe for the time being-

China movies, it’ll be fine.

Qiushi. com commentator: China’s plan for modernization

  "Polarization or common prosperity? Material supremacy or coordinated development of material spirit? Fishing with exhausted resources or harmonious coexistence between man and nature? Zero-sum game or win-win cooperation? Copying other countries’ models or developing independently based on their own national conditions? What kind of modernization do we need? How can we achieve modernization? " General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "In the face of this series of modernization questions, political parties, as an important force leading and promoting the modernization process, have the responsibility to answer."

  On March 15th, 2023, at the high-level dialogue meeting between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the world’s political parties, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered a keynote speech entitled "Walking hand in hand with peers on the road to modernization", which systematically expounded the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s understanding of exploring the road to modernization, put forward the global civilization initiative, and expressed the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s sincere desire to work with political parties of other countries to promote modernization with its own characteristics, promote exchanges and mutual learning of global civilizations, and promote the building of a community of human destiny. It shows the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s political courage and responsibility to face the common challenges of mankind, and provides a Chinese plan to promote the process of world modernization and the progress of human civilization.

  In today’s world, multiple challenges and crises are intertwined, the recovery of the world economy is difficult, the development gap is widening, the ecological environment is deteriorating, the cold war mentality is lingering, and the modernization process of human society has once again come to a historical crossroads. Where to go? Historical multiple-choice questions are placed in front of political parties all over the world. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is a political party for the happiness of the people of China, and it is also a political party for the cause of human progress. The Communist Party of China (CPC) insists on thinking of the world, always puts China’s development in the coordinate system of human development, and closely links its own destiny with the destiny of people all over the world; Always proceed from unity and cooperation, and join hands with political parties of various countries to lead the way, build consensus and overcome difficulties together. At this high-level dialogue with the theme of "the road to modernization: the responsibility of political parties", General Secretary of the Supreme Leader put forward five points: we should adhere to the concept of people first and highlight the people’s nature of the modernization direction; We should uphold the principle of independence and explore the diversity of modernization roads; It is necessary to establish a sense of integrity and innovation and maintain the continuity of the modernization process; It is necessary to carry forward the spirit of self-improvement and enhance the inclusiveness of modernization achievements; We should maintain a vigorous attitude and ensure the firmness of modern leadership. These five propositions scientifically answered a series of questions about modernization, and reflected the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s profound understanding and accurate grasp of the laws of modernization.

  Realizing modernization is the common pursuit of people all over the world, and it is also the dream of China people in modern times. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s history of uniting and leading the people of China to pursue national rejuvenation for more than 100 years is also a history of constantly exploring the road to modernization. Through unremitting efforts, our party has led the people not only to create two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, but also to successfully embark on the road of Chinese modernization and create a new form of human civilization. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our Party has continued to advance on the existing basis, deepened its understanding, improved its strategy, enriched its practice, achieved innovative breakthroughs in theory and practice, and successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. Chinese-style modernization is a modernization with huge population, common prosperity of all people, harmony between material civilization and spiritual civilization, harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and peaceful development. Based on its own national conditions and drawing lessons from the experience of other countries, it not only inherits history and culture, but also integrates modern civilization, which not only benefits the people of China, but also promotes the common development of the world. It is the only way for us to build a strong country and rejuvenate our nation, and it is also the only way for China to seek human progress and world harmony. Practice has proved that Chinese-style modernization is not only right and feasible, but also stable and good.

  A just cause should be pursued for the common good. The people of China not only want to live a good life for themselves, but also want the people of other countries to live a good life. At this high-level dialogue, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out that we will always closely link our own destiny with the destiny of people of all countries, and strive to provide new opportunities for world development with new achievements in Chinese modernization, provide new impetus for human exploration of the road to modernization, and make new contributions to the theoretical and practical innovation of human social modernization. The Communist Party of China (CPC) will be committed to promoting high-quality development and promoting global development and prosperity; Will be committed to safeguarding international fairness and justice and promoting world peace and stability; We will devote ourselves to promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations and promoting the progress of human civilization. These important expositions, which are full of China characteristics, embody the spirit of the times and lead the trend of human development and progress, fully demonstrate the responsibility of working together on the road to the world and inject strong positive energy into the process of human modernization.

  On the new journey full of glory and dreams, the Communist Party of China (CPC) will continue to exchange experiences with political parties and organizations of other countries in managing the party and the country, join hands with peers in the road of modernization, and stride forward on the road of promoting the building of a community of human destiny, which will surely make the unique modernization cause converge into a torrent of the times to promote world prosperity and progress, and roll forward and develop sustainably in the long history!
