Exclusive | "800" box office has been soaring all the way, and the secrets behind the scenes have been revealed for ten years


1905 movie network feature In 1937, in the final battle of the Battle of Shanghai, Shanghai was about to fall. More than 400 Chinese soldiers were stationed at the four-line warehouse, vowing to resist to the death, and were known to the outside world as "800 strong men".After 83 years, the directorGuan HuIn the movieIt interpreted what he understood as the "Four Elements Warehouse Guard Battle".


3 restarts, 40 revisions, 18 months of live scenes, 1,500 crew members, 7 months of actor military training, 499 days of preparation, 230 days of filming…Every string of numbers in "Eight Hundred" is a sign that domestic war films continue to advance towards industrialization. "The texture of the whole picture and the expression of poetry should not be found in previous Chinese war films." Guan Hu’s wife and chief producerLiang JingSay.


Ten years ago, Liang Jing heard Guan Hu say that he wanted to make "The Eight Hundred". "I said that you like history so much, and there are so many war movies to shoot, why is it" The Eight Hundred "?""He said that this was the only battle with an audience. Although the battle lasted for four days and four nights, as the creator, he really wanted to know what the audience’s mentality was."

Director Guan Hu

 

The Sixing warehouse is on the north bank of the Suzhou River, and the audience is on the south bank. There are different opinions about the whole history of this period. At the end of the movie, the reporter of "Declaration" evacuated the bridge with the army’s relics, letters and cameras full of footage. On the way, the camera was accidentally damaged by strafing.The camera can restore reality, and the camera can also recreate dreams. Guan Hu called on a group of filmmakers to bravely and adventurously go to this period of history that has not been fully documented.

 

Hell of war, paradise on earth

 

After filming, Guan Hu and the art director Lin Mu said that he really wanted to shoot "Eight Hundred", and this project had been in his mind for a long time.The "Eight Hundred" first started preparations in 2013, and the art group was the first department to be established. Lin Mu and his team spent half a year making a sand table model, and initially established the layout of the warehouses on the north and south sides of the Suzhou River and the four lines.



In the middle of the preparations, the project was suspended for some reason, and this sand table model has been placed in Guan Hu’s studio. Guan Hu turned to shoot.In 2016, "800" was restarted, and it took about a year to leave the plane. Lin Mu was inRun between the two ends and "Eight Hundred", help firstHuang BoHe completed his directorial debut.



At that time, the script of "Eight Hundred" had not been refined, and there was only a story outline of about 1,500 words. According to the outline, the newly formed art team continued the setting concept of the previous preparation and determined the overall tone of the main scene."dawnBelow, the whole picture of the two sides of the Suzhou River is displayed. On one side is the hell of war, and on the other side is the paradise on earth. Watching the battle across the river has formed a unique stage relationship in the history of world war. "


"Hell of War", is the four-line warehouse, on the north bank of Suzhou River.The process of redesigning the four-row warehouse was very long. In terms of appearance, the south side of the warehouse was highly restored according to the photos taken by reporters from the south bank at that time. On the north side of the warehouse, Lin Shu decided to be bold and innovative, referring to the buildings of Eastern Europe and Poland during the democratic period, to create a fortress-like shape, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, enhancing the industrial and magical sense of the space.



In history, Chen Shusheng bundled up with grenades and jumped from the west side of the warehouse, sacrificing himself heroically. In this scene in the movie, on the west wall, there is a huge advertisement for Coca-Cola. Lin Mu decided to put this historical symbol on the west wall, "a playful advertisement, a kind of amplified reality."


In the design stage of the internal structure of the warehouse, the art plan was suspended for a while. The interior of the warehouse is empty, the west building and the east building are connected, and the pattern is monotonous, which cannot expand the theatrical space of the movie.

 

"It’s actually a good thing, but I’m worried that if there is more evidence, I will be tied up and don’t dare to exaggerate it." When the various conceptual graphs of the warehouse were unable to pass, Lin Mu boldly proposed to separate the east and west buildings and open a narrow middle corridor to enhance the visual effect.


The east building is directly set up as a bank: the first floor is a bank hall with the classical style of the Republic of China, which is also a temporary residence and a rest area for the troops; the second floor is Xie Jinyuan’s headquarters, which matches the downstairs through the patio.There is also a semi-underground waterway for unloading goods inside the warehouse, which is connected to the Suzhou River. This is where the Dragon Boat Festival, the escape of the old abacus, and the sneak attack of the Japanese sneak in.


"Paradise on Earth," a public concession on the south bank of the Suzhou River, Guan Hu said, the scene was to be made "Shanghai as the epitome of the Paris of the East."The art team spent two months collecting relevant information on the buildings of the Concession of the Republic of China and sorted out more than 200Gb of data photos. In the complex historical materials, they found that the streets of the South Bank were mostly low-rise houses, which were not rich and layered enough, and could not form a strong contrast with the dilapidated scene of the four-row warehouses on the North Bank.


Therefore, the art team decided to rebuild the South Bank Concession and built more than 30 houses, including dance halls, bars, old Shanghai’s raw fried bun stalls, and Sino-foreign joint casinos."Shanghai people and foreigners coexist, war and prosperity coexist, barrenness and fashion coexist, loss and hope coexist. This period of time and space is intertwined."


In the design of props on the north and south shores, they strive to restore historical authenticity.Many "anti-Japanese dramas" did not use the Type 96 light machine guns that were in service with the Japanese army in 1937 when they showed the battles before 1937. Because the number was small and it was easy to jam, most of them replaced them with the Type 99 light machine gun that appeared in 1939. Even if the specific style of the machine gun could not be seen in the Japanese shooting scene, the art team insisted on respecting the historical facts and let the Japanese use the Type 96 light machine gun.


Lin Mu also dedicated a team of military fans who were looking for tank models to restore two "small potato tanks" used by the Japanese army at that time, namely the Type 94 light armored vehicle."Although it is a minor correction, I hope that many historical details will not be missing. After many years, I hope to give people a reference to explore the truth of history."


 

Compared to the North Shore, the South Shore still has many prop designs that cannot be fully depicted on the screen.The South Bank not only has car waterMa LongThe exterior scenes of feasting and feasting, the art team also built 29 interior scenes, such as a watch shop, insidefurnishingsAll of them are the collections provided by the century-old Yuchang Watch Store, because none of the interior scenes have been fully filmed, and these treasures can only be flashed in the foreground of the street window.


"There are so few shots, these productions are actually very large." Lin Mu and the art team he led tried to restore the historical facts with one hand, so that they could be well documented, and with the other hand, they used their imagination on the basis of historical materials to create a second creation."Eight Hundred" is Lin Mu’s longest, most challenging and most stressful film so far.

 

A project, a dream

 

One by one, a Suzhou River was dug through, and a four-row warehouse was built to create a "Paris of the East" in the Shanghai Concession."I can’t find the land," said Liang Jing, the chief producer, as the number one problem they faced. "I couldn’t find this land in 2013 until I found it in 2015."


Huayi Brothers Real Scene Entertainment built a movie city in Suzhou, providing the possibility of setting the scene for "800". It was a 200-acre piece of land on the edge of Yangcheng Lake, where the river was dug and the steel and concrete were leveled, and a huge project was started."Director, Photographer, ArtTiantianThey all stayed there like the foreman. A vacant lot was hard to dig out a river, and a one-to-one warehouse and more than 60 buildings were built. "

 

This is Liang Jing’s first time as a producer. She said that the pressure is very high. Fortunately, there is another old helper, producer Zhu Wenjiu, who leads three production teams and has followed Guan Hu for many years., "Killing Life", "Old Pao’er", used to take turns in the group. This time, because the production volume is very large, the three production teams gathered for the first time, "very experienced".



The actual construction of the film is not a real estate project, the cycle is tight, and there are many sunk costs. The art team provides the conceptual plan of the architectural design, which is evaluated by the design institute and implemented by the civil engineering team.The art team did the math, and they finally signed a stack of more than 700 pages of construction maps.

 

During this period, some art projects did not meet the safety standards, and the design institute and engineering team did not want to affect the creative concept too much. Lin Mu said that for about a year, the three parties repeatedly communicated and revised, and often fell into quarrels. "It is quite torturous, and it has completely exceeded the fun of creation. It is a part of mathematically and physically to ensure safe production."

 

"I remember the last time we quarreled after the civil construction was over. Soon after, everyone sat together to miss those intense days. When the art team finished finishing, they sorted out the construction adjustment contact list in the computer.


The movie opens with the security team from Hubei entering a tragic post-war ruin, which was not built in the Suzhou Film City, but in a group of demolition buildings in a community in Ningbo City. The Ningbo municipal government was very supportive at the time, delaying the demolition plan, "and finally the art team will plan how to demolish it."

 

"If you really build a battlefield ruin like Hollywood, it’s okay, but this scene is a formality at the beginning. Considering that this can save a lot of financial resources, material resources and time, the effect is not bad."This should be the first time in China that a real estate was demolished into a movie ruin. "We completed this battlefield in a demolition community."


"Hell of war, heaven on earth", the core concept in the script is translated into the photography language of the photography director Cao Yu, which is "the darkest night, the brightest light", which is from the movie.Cao Yu said in his photographic notes that he did not want a realistic photographic style, but rather contrast and abstraction, and he described "Yaobai" as "a visual poem."


This poem is microscopic and grand, and the lens language should be close-up and panoramic, rather than a central scene; this poem is a freehand brushwork of light and shadow, rather than copying the handheld records and film graininess of traditional war films; it should be close to the effect of modern scrolls, like the early paintings of Munch and Picasso, transparent and delicate; it should reduce color saturation, cold and modern, just like.


"The Hundred" is the first commercial film in Asia to be shot with IMAX cameras in its entirety. There are only more than 60 units in the world, and "The Hundred" was filmed with two units."The difficulty, the challenge is that we use a lot of light. When shooting at night, we used more than 2,000 lamps, and the wires added up to more than 50 kilometers."


 

Cao Yu arranged nine dimming tables in the main control room, and the lights in all areas of the four-line warehouse must be connected to the dimming table for unified control. Guan Hu said, "Especially there is a shooting, all relying on that dimming, combined with the sound of gunshots, it’s a bit like a DJ."The "base light" in the inner area of the warehouse is illuminated from the top down. When shooting the second floor, the third floor must be covered with lights. There are nearly 200 holes in the four floors, which are densely packed.


Outside the warehouse, Cao Yu proposed that the neon lights of the South Bank streetscape be mapped to the south side of the warehouse. The art team referred to the Shanghai night scene materials of the Republic of China and organized the production of more than 400 light signs and 3-kilometer-long building-shaped light bulbs.There were at least three types of light bulbs on each sign. The wiring was too complicated and the installation price was expensive. Cao Yu thought about it and finally switched to LED lamps with adjustable voltage.


Guan Hu said: "After filming, I feel that Cao Yu and I are ten years older, and even men’s endocrine is dysregulated."


"Supreme Glory"

 

In early 2017, the southern rainy season saw continuous spring rains.The 200 mu of land next to Yangcheng Lake is all "spring soil", the soil is soft, and the four-row warehouse that is about to be built can bear 400 kilograms per square meter.It rained non-stop, and the foundation sank a little, "It must stop!" Liang Jing said that all the actors and time had been negotiated at that time, and if they didn’t turn on the camera, they would have to change the actors. In the end, for safety, "all changed".

 

The construction period was postponed, and the construction project underwent a rigorous renovation, allowing the movie to resume again. It was September 9, 2017, and "800" finally started.


The four-row warehouse on the north bank turned into a "stage", and the concession on the south bank became an "audience seat". A "war performance" mixed with the blood and tears of soldiers, a ray of light related to the awakening of national consciousness shot out and the curtain was opened.

 

Because of the cast change, Ou Hao caught up. He first saw the actor recruitment news on Weibo. "If I have the opportunity to play a very small role in this movie, even for a day or two, it will be an honor." During that time, Ou Hao called Guan Hu every day to talk about the script and the role.

 

Liang Jing asked Guan Hu: "Has he ever acted? Can he?" Guan Hu was very firm: "This child is very good, attentive and hard-working", and finally decided to play the Dragon Boat Festival.


From the cowardly soldiers of the Hubei Security Regiment to the bloody, masculine soldiers who took the initiative to fight, Ou Hao wanted to interpret the growth and changes of the Dragon Boat Festival in just a few days in the movie.He said he didn’t expect it to be so difficult, and the role often made him feel depressed, especiallyLi ChenIn that scene, he couldn’t sleep that night, "When you’re in this role, you’re actually uncomfortable."

 

"Because all the scenes are very immersive, and it is easy to enter emotions. Slowly, these emotions are installed in my heart, and the whole eyes will become different and complicated."


Ou Hao raised his gun at Zhang Yi, the "old abacus" who was about to escape. Zhang Yi knelt and begged. Ou Hao was torn and his tears flowed down.Cao Yu was carrying more than 60 catties of IMAX cameras alone, kneeling on the ground to take close-up shots, with three assistants behind him supporting him, trembling. At this moment, Cao Yu said, "the picture and the actors are matched, and there is an emotional tremor."


Du Chun and Yu Haoming play the anti-Japanese war heroes Xie Jinyuan and Shangguan Zhibiao who participated in this battle, respectively. In order to get close to the characters, physical and military movement training courses are essential. They must learn history and imitate the accent of the prototype as a southerner speaking Mandarin. They strive to find the outstanding personality of their respective characters in the regular military image.

 

Yu Haoming described his state on the set as "loose on the outside and tight on the inside." As a relatively young actor in the film, he was under pressure to minimize his mistakes during filming.


The South Bank sang "Changban Slope", and the North Bank warehouse was also the configuration of a big play."Sheep crutches"Wang QianyuanMaverick, ruthless, not much talk, "Lao Tie"Jiang WuRude and reckless, love to brag, "old abacus" Zhang Yi judges the situation, smart and cunning, these characters all have some kind of animal instinct, facing the choice of "survival or destruction" of life. Seemingly facelike, behind them one by one corresponds to the martial arts, flower faces and Wen Chou in the opera industry, with a rather consistent dramatic context.


Jiang Wu said that the difference between "800" and his previous war films is "advanced". He specially learned Dandong dialect for the character and lost 12.5 kilograms of weight. Wang QianYuan said that every time they took a picture, they would show a different feeling. Everyone walked together, and they enjoyed filming it as a whole, which was happy and happy.


Conceived ten years ago, it took seven years to prepare, produce, and complete. "800" has gone through a long and unknown adventure. In the end, how does it lead us into this history?Not in a hyper-realistic way, but in a highly tightly choreographed, four-day, four-night campaign, from reorganizing defenses, three-hour resistance, flag-raising and flag-guarding to evacuating across bridges, with cameras moving back and forth between warehouse defenders and spectators on both sides of the Suzhou River.


Compared with the anti-Japanese soldiers who charged into battle and looked at death, the film focuses more on ordinary people, focusing on those unconscious interlopers and viewers.From the fear of war to the generous stragglers, from watching the fire from the sidelines to the common people who share the same hatred, the group images of different social hierarchies are dots, and finally, with a point, line and surface structure, they converge into the spiritual inspiration of the feelings of the country and the national righteousness.


As in the final scene of the movie, the crowd inside the fence extends their hands, a clenched fist, to greet the surging heroes and build a true patriotic passion.


"We saw a different kind of war, which was completed by everyone’s wisdom. This feeling is what Guan Hu said about’supreme glory ‘, and we carefully crafted a gift to dedicate to the former martyrs." The first time she saw the finished film of "Eight Hundred", Liang Jing said that at that moment she had a sense of accomplishment.

 

On August 21, "800" was officially released, and Guan Hu’s new film was also shot. It was still the team of "800". They continued to enter the historical adventure and continue to create the next dream.

 

Note: The art materials of "800" are exclusively authorized by the art director Lin Mu.

Since the beginning of this year, 19 deputy ministerial-level central enterprises have changed coaches, and most of them have been adjusted because of their working age.

Figure/vision china

Up to now, at least 19 central enterprises supervised by SASAC have undergone executive adjustment, all of which are "key state-owned enterprises" at the vice ministerial level.

In 2023, many senior executives of central enterprises started intensive personnel adjustment. In April alone, three central enterprises, namely China Merchants Group, China Grain Reserve Management Group and China Aluminum Group, completed the coaching change. According to the reporter’s incomplete statistics of China Economic Weekly, up to now, at least 19 central enterprises supervised by SASAC have undergone executive adjustment, all of which are "key state-owned enterprises" at the vice ministerial level.

Dongfang Electric ushered in "from official to business" executives

Recently, the leadership of China Dongfang Electric Group has been updated, with a new deputy general manager and member of the party group Sun Guojun, and the number of members of the leadership team has also increased from 7 to 8.

According to public information, Sun Guojun graduated from Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, majoring in material management. He was a member of the Party Group of the Research Office of the State Council and the director of the First Division of Comprehensive Research (Development Strategy Research Division). He participated in the drafting of the the State Council government work report many times, which is a typical "from official to business".

Xu Baoli, a former researcher at the Research Center of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, gave a positive evaluation of this. He told the reporter of China Economic Weekly: "No matter whether businessmen enter the business or officials enter the business, the flow of talents between businessmen and officials has broken the restrictions of units and blocks, opened a channel for talent exchange between institutions and enterprises, and changed talent resources from’ internal circulation’ to’ internal circulation’.

In fact, the flow of talents between institutions and enterprises has been stipulated in China’s civil service law.

Article 69 of the Civil Servant Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: The state practices the civil servant exchange system. Civil servants can communicate within the civil servants and the staff managed with reference to this Law, and they can also communicate with personnel engaged in public affairs in state-owned enterprises and institutions not managed with reference to this Law.

The "Regulations on the Exchange of Party and Government Leading Cadres" also emphasizes the exchange of cadres between party and government organs and state-owned enterprises and institutions. Article 16 stipulates that only the leaders of state-owned enterprises and institutions are selected to serve in the party and government organs, and party and government leading cadres are recommended to serve in state-owned enterprises and institutions.

"Some cadres exchange positions between central enterprises and government departments, whether they are’ from business to official’ or’ from official to business’, as long as they meet the relevant regulations, it is a normal rational flow and rational allocation of human resources." Xu Baoli told the reporter of China Economic Weekly.

After being transferred to the position of Deputy General Manager of China Dongfang Electric Group, Sun Guojun has started intensive research in subordinate enterprises. On April 12th, the official WeChat of Dongfang Wind Power, a subsidiary of China Dongfang Electric Group, reported that Sun Guojun went to Dongfang Wind Power for investigation.

This is not the first time that China Dongfang Electric Group executives have adjusted this year. Before Sun Guojun took up his new job, at the beginning of this year, China Dongfang Electric Group had personnel changes. On February 1, 2023, the central government announced that Xu Peng, general manager and deputy secretary of the Party Group of China Dongfang Electric, was appointed as the director, general manager and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of China Yizhong.

China Dongfang Electric Group ranks 33rd in the list of central enterprises of SASAC, and it is an important state-owned key enterprise at the vice ministerial level.

China Star Network welcomes the new general manager.

As a vice-ministerial-level central enterprise that has just been established for two years and settled in Xiong ‘an, the senior management adjustment of China Satellite Network Group has attracted special attention.

According to a message on the website of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on April 8, Gao Fei, the leader of the 14th patrol team of the Central Committee, met with Zhang Dongchen, secretary and chairman of the Party Group of China Star Network, and Zhang Hongtai, deputy secretary, director and general manager of the Party Group, and informed about the relevant arrangements for the patrol work.

According to the above information, Zhang Hongtai has been appointed as deputy secretary, director and general manager of China Star Network Party Group.

According to public information, Zhang Hongtai, born in November 1965, is a graduate student and researcher. He used to be the deputy director, director, deputy director and director of the research and production department of Xi ‘an Institute of Space Radio Technology, and the vice president and dean of the Fifth Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

On May 24th, 2021, the Fifth Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation held a meeting of leading cadres, announcing that due to work adjustment, Comrade Zhang Hongtai would no longer serve as the president and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Fifth Research Institute.

On April 29th, 2021, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council issued an announcement to establish China Satellite Network Group Co., Ltd. and put it on the list of central enterprises. Wang Yong, then State Councilor, pointed out at the inaugural meeting that the establishment of China Satellite Network Group Co., Ltd. was an important measure based on the overall national strategy and conforming to the general trend of scientific and technological industry reform. After the establishment of the company, Zhang Hongtai became the deputy general manager, and this adjustment was made.

The post of general manager of China Satellite Network Group Co., Ltd. was previously held by Yang Baohua, a former deputy general manager of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd.

Since the beginning of this year, at least 19 central enterprise executives have adjusted.

China Satellite Network Group and Dongfang Electric Group are not the only central enterprises that have experienced executive adjustment this year. The reporter of China Economic Weekly found that up to now, at least 19 central enterprises have made adjustments, namely: China Aviation Industry Corporation, China Electronics Technology Group, Dongfeng Motor Group, China Commercial Aircraft Group, China Aerospace Science and Industry Group, State Grid, China Electronics and Information Industry Group, China Southern Airlines Group, China Construction Group, China Sinochem Group, China Aluminum Group, China Grain Reserve Management Group, China Merchants Group, China Shipbuilding Group and China. These 19 central enterprises are all deputy ministerial level.

Xu Baoli analyzed with the reporter of China Economic Weekly. Accurately speaking, central enterprises can be divided into three categories, namely, enterprises that are funded by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, enterprises that are funded by the Ministry of Finance, and enterprises that are funded by relevant central units. They are also collectively referred to as central enterprises in a broad sense. Generally speaking, the central enterprises we usually refer to are enterprises that are funded by SASAC.

Xu Baoli further pointed out that in the list of central enterprises of SASAC, the 1st to 54th central enterprises are important state-owned backbone enterprises, and their team members are managed by the Central Organization Department, with the chairman and general manager at the deputy ministerial level and other team members at the departmental level, such as Sinopec, State Grid and China Southern Airlines.

For the 55th to 98th central enterprises, the team members are managed by the Party Committee of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, with the chairman and general manager at the main department level, and other team members at the deputy department level, such as CRRC and China Poly.

Most of them are adjusted because of "working age"

"Leaders of key state-owned enterprises managed by the Central Organization Department generally retire at the age of 63, and some are adjusted at the age of 61 and 62. The leaders of enterprises managed by the Party Committee of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission generally retire at the age of 60, but the leaders of large-scale Fortune 500 central enterprises can also retire at the age of 63. " Xu Baoli said.

China Building Materials Group is an enterprise managed by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. Song Zhiping was the chairman of the group and retired at the age of 63. Brand Finance, a British brand finance consultancy, released the "Top 500 Global Brand Values in 2023" on January 18th, showing that China Building Materials Group has been shortlisted for five years in a row, and this year, on the basis of upgrading 20 places last year, it has steadily upgraded 16 places to the 233rd place.

Although China Building Materials ranks 63rd in the list of enterprises of SASAC, and it is not a central enterprise at the deputy ministerial level, China Building Materials has been listed among the top 500 in the world since 2018. Born in Song Zhiping in October 1956, he will be 63 years old when he retires in November 2019.

The reporter of China Economic Weekly found that some of the senior executives of central enterprises mentioned the "working age" this year.

For example, China Aviation Industry Corporation. On March 1, 2023, the central government announced the decision to remove the chairman and party secretary of China Aviation Industry Corporation: according to the needs of work and the relevant regulations on the age of the leaders of central enterprises, Comrade Tan Ruisong was removed from the post of chairman and party secretary of China Aviation Industry Corporation.

According to public information, Tan Ruisong was born in February 1962, and he was 61 years old when he was removed from office in March.

A similar situation exists in China Electronics Technology Group. According to the news from WeChat official account, China Electric Power Branch, at the recent meeting of the Central Committee on the leadership of China Electronics Technology Group, the Central Committee announced the decision to adjust the company’s chairman and party secretary: according to the needs of work and the relevant regulations on the age of the leaders of central enterprises, Comrade Chen Zhaoxiong was removed from the post of chairman and party secretary of China Electronics Technology Group Co., Ltd.

Chen Zhaoxiong was born in September, 1961. Since then, he has been dismissed, and he is nearly 62 years old.

Similarly, Zhu Yanfeng, the former chairman of Dongfeng Motor Group, was born in March 1961 and was 62 years old when the central government announced his dismissal in March.

The above three dismissed cadres are all middle-ranking cadres, all over 60 years old. In addition, the reporter of China Economic Weekly combed and found that in the recent adjustment of senior executives of central enterprises, "working age" was also mentioned, and some senior executives just turned 60. For example, Chi Jingtao, the former general manager of China Grain Storage, who was dismissed in April this year, was born in January 1963. When the central government announced his dismissal, he was 60 years old.

In addition, in the adjustment of senior executives of central enterprises this year, there were also cases of announcing dismissal and proposing "another appointment".

On February 1st, 2023, the Central Committee announced that Wen Gang was removed from the post of Chairman and Party Secretary of China Rongtong Asset Management Group Co., Ltd. and was appointed separately.

At the same time, at the meeting of middle-level and above managers of China Shipping Group Co., Ltd. held on the same day, the central government announced that Wen Gang was appointed as the chairman and party secretary of China Shipping Group Co., Ltd.

The senior executives of central enterprises adjusted this year also have post adjustments within the same central enterprise. The Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China recently issued a notice appointing Comrade Wang Jiezhi as the director and deputy secretary of the party group of China National Nuclear Corporation, and removing him from the post of head of the discipline inspection and supervision team of China National Nuclear Corporation.

"There are a variety of situations in the adjustment of the positions of leaders of central enterprises, but we must adhere to the principle of party management of cadres when adjusting. According to the Regulations on the Management of Leaders of Central Enterprises, we should select good cadres who are loyal to the party, brave in innovation, well-managed enterprises, promising enterprises, and honest and clean. These are also the concretization of good cadre standards in state-owned enterprises. " Xu Baoli said.

Inventory | What are the differences between domestic car in-car OS? Hongmeng and AliOS have entered an autonomous no-man’s land

  With the continuous improvement of the level of automotive intelligence, more and more car manufacturers mention the words "system" and "OS" in the promotion of models, such as HarmonyOS of Wenjie M5, IMOS of Zhiji L7, Galaxy OS of Geely Xingyue L, Coffee Smart Cockpit System of Great Wall, and DiLink Intelligent Network System of BYD, etc. This confirms that car manufacturers are paying more and more attention to operating systems.

Inventory | What are the differences between domestic car in-car OS? Hongmeng and AliOS have entered an autonomous no-man's land

  According to the classification of the "Vehicle Operating System Standard System" of the National Automobile Standardization Technical Committee, vehicle operating systems are divided into two categories: vehicle operating systems and vehicle control operating systems. Vehicle operating systems are mainly for infotainment and intelligent cockpits, and are used in vehicle control, instrumentation, co-pilot and rear entertainment. The requirements for safety and reliability are at a medium level. This type of operating system is developing rapidly, and the ecosystem relying on this type of operating system is also in a period of rapid development.

  In fact, whether it is all kinds of XXX smart cockpit in China, or the system named "OS", it basically belongs to the category of "car operating system". In the domestic car operating system market, major car manufacturers mainly use QNX, Android, Linux systems and customized modifications based on Android and Linux. The above-mentioned Galaxy OS, coffee smart cockpit system, and DiLink all belong to this program, while the self-developed car operating systems include Zebra Zhixing AliOS and Huawei HarmonyOS.

  AliOS: Distributed Converged, Native Fusion (SOA) Framework

  In April, SAIC Motor officially launched the Zhiji L7. As the first mass-produced model built by Zhiji, the Zhiji L7 brings together the advantages of SAIC Motor Group, Alibaba Group and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech. "The intelligent cockpit and OS system on the Zhiji L7 are all newly developed by Zebra, and a new architecture and system have not been commercially applied yet. Zhiji L7 is the first model of this new system," Liu Tao, co-CEO of Zhiji Automobile, said in an interview with the media.

  Zebra Zhixing built the IMOS underlying system for Zhiji L7 based on AliOS. On Zhiji L7, the smart scene screen and the hub screen are highly integrated, allowing users to interact and stream content between different screens. This is due to AliOS ‘multi-screen interactive display framework, which can break the physical boundaries and achieve a multi-screen graphics system for the cockpit.

  In addition, with the diversification of vehicle functions, more and more information needs to be shared across domains, and a communication framework to meet the cross-domain, cross-device, and cross-OS requirements of smart cars has emerged. AliOS comes with its own autonomous, controllable, stable and reliable Fusion (SOA) framework, which can realize cross-domain and cross-vehicle cloud integrated communication, and supports SOME/IP and DDS protocols. For automakers, Fusion can realize atomization and serviceization of vehicle hardware capabilities, and OEMs can independently define vehicle open capability interfaces and vehicle-cloud integrated developer platforms, which will greatly improve development efficiency.

  HarmonyOS: Full Scene Distribution, Multi-Device Interconnection

  In March this year, Huawei officially released the QJI M5 equipped with HarmonyOS. At the beginning of its birth, HarmonyOS showed that it would integrate various end points in life scenarios to form a "super virtual end point", which is also a significant advantage of HarmonyOS, that is, multi-device interconnection. This is also evident in the QJI M5. In the case of logging in to the same account as Huawei’s mobile phone, the car and mobile phone can be seamlessly connected and transferred.

Inventory | What are the differences between domestic car in-car OS? Hongmeng and AliOS have entered an autonomous no-man's land

  In addition, HarmonyOS inherits the capabilities related to the Android application framework, is compatible with Android applications, and also has certain advantages in the richness of the application ecosystem.

  ROM-based system: rich application ecosystem, insufficient stability

  As an intelligent cockpit system deeply customized by Yikatong Technology for Geely Automobile based on the new hardware platform, the Galaxy OS carried by Xingyue L has undergone two OTA upgrades after its launch. Although it is named "OS", Galaxy OS is still a ROM system in essence, and Yikatong has customized development based on Android.

  From a development perspective, the advantages of ROM-based systems are obvious, only involving the modification of SystemUI and a small number of Framework services. The development cycle is short and the difficulty is low, and the advantages of Android’s rich application ecosystem are also favored by major automakers. However, Android is relatively insecure and stable, so most Android-based systems are only used for in-vehicle infotainment.

  Miao Wei, deputy director of the Economic Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, once said in public: The operating system is the key to the digital transformation of automobile enterprises, and it is a "must for soldiers". Self-developed in-vehicle operating systems have natural advantages in development, iteration, safety and other links, and building autonomous in-vehicle operating systems and even autonomous vehicle control operating systems is the only way.

During the peak sales season of beverages and drinking water, Wahaha is under attack

On February 25 this year, Zong Qing, founder and chairperson of Wahaha Group, passed away, and Zong Fuli took over as the new head of Wahaha. At the same time, Wahaha’s product sales exploded, and there was a shortage of goods.

But after three months, with the advent of summer, the temperature gradually rose, and beverages and drinking water gradually entered the peak sales season, Wahaha failed to continue the previous trend of explosive sales. In addition, with the launch of purified water products by Farmer Spring and the return of Robust’s classic product "Granular Fruit AD Calcium Milk", Wahaha is currently under attack.

Wahaha heat fades

Since February 25, Wahaha has become the focus of public attention, and its products have also become the target of many consumers, but Wahaha’s popularity has not lasted long.

Data show that Wahaha products in the Douyin platform sales began to soar from February 25th, rose to the peak on March 4th, sales reached 5 million – 7.50 million yuan, compared with February 25th before the increase of more than 10 times.

But since mid-March, Wahaha’s sales in Douyin have dropped to about 200,000 and have continued to this day, with a year-on-year decline of 90% at the peak.

Recent data show that Douyin platform Wahaha official flagship store live sales only reached 500,000 – 750,000 scale on June 1, and the rest remained at 100,000 – 200,000.

In order to catch this wave of skyrocketing traffic, Wahaha started the progress of the 2024 laboratory water support plan in March this year. On May 31, Wahaha disclosed through its WeChat official account that the Wahaha laboratory water support plan has supported more than 150 scientific research units.

On the other hand, Wahaha is also vigorously expanding the offline market. In addition to putting its own freezers, it has also sent its spring tea series, coffee series, and new products, such as KellyOne, to supermarket shelves.

But at present, it seems that the effect is mediocre. Some beverage merchants said that most of them will take the first-tier products, such as Wahaha’s AD calcium milk, purified water, and eight-treasure porridge, because of their low popularity. Therefore, these new products of Wahaha have great resistance in the promotion of channels.

Track competition is getting more intense

New products are struggling to support performance, and the competitive pressure on classic ace products is also increasing.

In terms of drinking water, the top five bottled water markets by volume from 2017 to 2022 were Nongfu Spring (12.2%), Yibao (8.3%), Jingtian (5.3%), Master Kong (3.2%), and Wahaha (2.2%).

Among them, Yibao and Wahaha are both deeply cultivated in the field of pure water. In 2023, Yibao’s retail sales reached 39.50 billion yuan, making it the first brand in China’s drinking pure water market.

And in April this year, Nongfu Spring, which originally only made natural water, also launched "green bottle" purified water.

In other words, in the pure water track Wahaha already has a larger and stronger opponent like Yibao, and now Nongfu Spring is also going to get a share of the market, making Wahaha’s drinking water days even more difficult.

On the other hand, Wahaha AD calcium milk is one of Wahaha’s largest single products with revenue exceeding 10 billion yuan, but Wahaha AD calcium milk has also ushered in its former rivals.

On December 28, 2023, Robust’s green bottle of bifid factor AD calcium milk and red bottle of strawberry-flavored AD calcium milk announced their return. On May 16 this year, Robust once again announced the return of "granular fruit AD calcium milk". Founded in 1989, Robust was once Wahaha’s old rival. Although it could not catch up with Wahaha’s pace in a short period of time, it would inevitably cause some pressure on Wahaha.

In addition, it is worth noting that in terms of product quality, Wahaha has received many complaints from consumers.

The black cat complaint platform shows that some consumers reported that foreign objects were found in Wahaha AD calcium milk and Wahaha nutrition express, and some consumers reported that the inner wall of Wahaha eight-treasure porridge jars was rusted. (Jia Geng)

Have you ever cancelled an order by an online ride-hailing driver? Undercover investigation to reveal the "secret" behind it

  "Hello, I’m sorry, my car broke down, can you cancel the order?" "Hello, my car encountered a traffic accident on the road just now, and I can’t come to pick you up. Can you cancel the order?"… Are you familiar with this? Have you ever heard of it? When you cancel an order, have you ever felt like crying but not crying? The appearance of online car-hailing has greatly improved the convenience of people taking a taxi. Drivers can no longer "pick customers" and "pick orders". We no longer have to beckon for half an hour in the rain on a rainy day, but we can’t get a taxi. But then there are some small new problems. For example, a car that is easy to get, but is told by the driver that it can’t come. At this time, can you only cancel the order helplessly? Not necessarily. After a few days of undercover investigation, the Yangzi Evening News reporter will "reveal the secret" behind the cancellation of the order for you, and "advise" for you – how should we deal with such a situation. 

  Passenger complaints: Early rush to send children to school, orders are often cancelled

  Mr. Liu, a citizen, reported to his child about the kindergarten near the unit: "I can basically pick up and drop off children every day, but during this time I happened to be on a business trip for a week, so I called my mother a car and asked her to pick it up." What made Mr. Liu depressed was that it was not easy to take a taxi during the morning rush hour, but it often took about ten minutes to get a car, but it was inexplicably cancelled.

  "From Hexi to Qinhuai, the road is a bit congested, but it’s not as congested as Xinjiekou, so it won’t be cancelled so often, right?" Mr. Liu told reporters that sometimes the driver would tell him that the car was broken and there was nothing to come. "In such a situation, my heart is really broken, but I can’t help it, and people can’t come, so I can only cancel it." There are many passengers like Mr. Liu. Some waited for half an hour in the umbrella under the guard box at the entrance of the park with their children, and finally got a car, but it was cancelled; some were in a hurry to catch a meeting or a dinner, but because of a cancellation, they had to wait again. And when the order was cancelled, most people chose "forget it".

  Reporter’s visit: The driver said his car was blocked, but it wasn’t

  In the morning rush hour, the reporter took an online taxi in Hexi. The order showed that there were still 5 minutes before the reporter, but the reporter waited for 10 minutes at the boarding point. The location showed that the driver was still in place and did not drive over. The driver called to say that his car was in a certain community and was blocked by another car.

  The reporter told the driver that he could cancel, but he would report the matter to the customer service. He also asked the driver to leave evidence for the customer service to check. After the reporter cancelled the order, he reported to the platform customer service and informed the platform that he just wanted to know if the car was blocked. After a period of time, the platform informed the reporter that the car was not blocked on the road, but did not want to take the reporter’s order. The platform has punished the driver.

  Last weekend, the reporter took a taxi to Hexi at a shopping mall in Yuhuatai District, Nanjing. It stands to reason that there is no evening rush hour at 4 or 5 pm on Saturday, but after waiting for more than ten minutes, the driver said that his car had collided with another car, and he had to deal with the dispute and could not pick it up. After the reporter told the driver that he would report to the platform, the driver actually said that he could pick it up. However, the reporter later checked with the platform to see if the car had collided, but the result was that there was no situation as the driver said.

  Unannounced visit

  The driver said that there are at least five ways to cancel the order

  During the unannounced visit, many drivers told reporters that there are many ways to cancel passenger orders. An online ride-hailing driver with more than a decade of experience told reporters that there are at least five ways to cancel passenger orders.

  "The first option is for the driver to drive to the destination, wait for five minutes, and then cancel without responsibility." So the driver can drive nearby, the passenger can’t find the car, and the driver can’t "find" the passenger. After five minutes of delay, it is automatically cancelled.

  "The second is that many platforms will have free cancellation opportunities for drivers to take orders. For example, cancel once a day without responsibility, drunk passengers can not pick up, passengers who do not wear masks during the epidemic can not pick up, etc." Then after receiving an unwanted order, the driver can click on the passenger "drunk" or other options to cancel without responsibility.

  "This cancellation method requires uploading a photo. The passenger is clearly wearing a mask. How can you upload a photo to prove that he is not wearing it?" The reporter asked.

  "It’s simple, just take a few pictures of passengers who don’t wear masks on the road. Or take a few drunk people at the entrance of the hotel for backup." The driver replied.

  Then, the reporter learned that the third way is to arrive near the appointment location, the driver can turn on the mobile phone "flight mode", stop in front of the passenger, drive away directly, and turn on the mobile phone after driving for five minutes. If the passenger is late, it is not responsible for cancellation. If the platform asks, it can be said that the mobile phone has no signal or there is a problem with the platform; the fourth way is to make up some reasons why the passenger cannot refuse to tell the passenger "can’t come", such as "the car is broken", which is also the best way to use, because the passenger cancels, the driver is not responsible; the fifth way is to use some plug-ins, but this way is in case the platform finds out, there is a risk of banning the number.

  2 Drivers have "difficulties" in "picking orders", and the platform said it will strengthen supervision

  "Drivers usually pick up orders from 7:00-9:00 in the morning peak and 4:30-7:00 in the evening peak." Industry insiders told reporters that there are generally several situations for drivers to "pick up orders". "Generally, I take a taxi at the airport, and no one delivers it to Lishui and Lukou towns. Because Lishui is in the opposite direction from the urban area, once I go there, it is likely to be empty for 20 kilometers back to the airport. Drivers often wait for three or four hours at the airport. With the parking fee and waiting time, everyone wants to pick up an order to the urban area, Pukou or Xianlin."

  "In addition, the driver’s pick order is also related to the rules of the platform. For example, the platform recently stipulates that you have to run 8 orders in the morning to get a reward, so everyone will want to take some short-distance orders and collect enough 8 orders to get a reward." However, industry insiders also admit that there are also many drivers who are particularly "pick" now, and do not accept orders that are blocked a little bit, and want passengers to cancel the order for various reasons. "In fact, you will only know after working in this industry for a long time. In the end, the ones who can make money are all practical sports cars. The platform will not always push you bad orders. If you receive a bad order this time, the platform will push you a good order next time. If you have high praise, the platform will increase the chance of pushing you a good order. The more you play with those little thoughts, the more money you will find in the end. "

  The reporter learned that many platforms in Nanjing have also revised the rules in response to the problem of canceling orders, such as canceling the content that "drunk passengers" are not responsible for canceling. In addition, the platforms said in interviews that if the order needs to be cancelled, they can communicate with the platform customer service, and the platform will retrieve audio and video recordings for verification. If the driver induces the passenger to cancel the order, the platform will punish the driver and compensate the passenger. Platforms also said that they will strengthen supervision.

Andy Lau can’t save "Hot Blood Choir", forcibly sensational characters are pale

Andy Lau starred in the inspirational film "Blood Choir", originally the most talked about this weekend’s new film, the first day of release on Friday accounted for 20.6% of the top, but only got 6.94 million yuan at the box office. On the second day of release, the single-day box office quickly fell to fifth place, Douban only 4.8 points, the row fell sharply, and Andy Lau could not save its box office and word-of-mouth.

This film is produced and starring Andy Lau, and starring two famous musicians, Lu Guanting and Lei Songde, with the help of Li Lizhen, Xie Junhao, Guan Lijie and many other old Hong Kong actors. The cast and story synopsis sound good, but the market performance is so bad, it is surprising: what is the problem?

"Hot Blood Choir" tells the story of Yan Zilang, a Chinese-American conductor played by Andy Lau, who accepts the invitation of his mentor played by Lu Guanting to return to China, participates in the "Hot Blood Choir Experimental Program" aimed at educating and saving poor students, and acts as the conductor of the Hot Blood Choir. He leads a group of students who are considered useless in the eyes, overcomes various difficulties and setbacks, heals each other, and finally achieves good results in the chorus competition and finds the value of life.

This kind of story framework suddenly reminds people of the French classic film "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class". Since it stands on the shoulders of the classic, as long as the screenwriter puts more effort into the script and the director shoots better, it will be a warm and touching film even if it does not reach the classic level.

However, the director and screenwriter have the enthusiasm to express the educational concept of "education without discrimination", but they do not have the ability to tell a good story. As a result, the entire plot is almost only a conceptual skeleton and didactic slogans, and lacks the support of real and credible flesh and detail. It is like stretching a 5-minute MV short film to 97 minutes, but there are still only MV-style thin stories and pale characters. What should be explained to the audience is not explained clearly, but a lot is said in various ways.

For example, the film is too unclear about the reasons and specific implementation plan for the formation of the hot-blooded choir played by the principal played by Lu Guanting. It is not enough to just tell the audience that this is a "teaching without discrimination" teaching experimental plan. Other teaching methods can also reflect the educational concept of "teaching without discrimination". Why is it necessary to establish a choir?

Moreover, these "bad" students in the eyes of the people were selected from several ordinary schools. The students should still be in their respective schools, and they don’t have much time to learn to sing in the choir. Why is there almost no expression of these students’ usual school life in the film?

The film begins with a chorus of champions at a major middle school practicing singing under the arrogant spectacle conductor played by Ray Songde, and a skirmish with the "useless" students of the hot-blooded choir. It was expected that the two conductors and the two student choirs with very different identities would have a more intense dramatic conflict in the later story, but this story line did not come to an end, which is a pity.

The biggest problem with the film is the paleness and thinness of the characters, and there is hardly a character that can stand up.

Although there are many scenes of Yan Zilang, the conductor played by Andy Lau, there is very little account of his personality description and character background, so much so that at the end he suddenly confessed to the students that he came to Hong Kong after a hit-and-run in the United States, which is very surprising. It also does not match the image of his upright and instructive character in the whole film. It seems to be a deliberate plot added in order to achieve the theme of mutual healing and redemption between teachers and students under the cultivation of music.

In contrast, it is also a portrayal of frustrated teachers and students, "Spring in the Cattle Cattle Class" is much more clever and natural, especially the shaping of several key students, which is more similar to "Hot Blood Choir".

"Hot Blood Choir" focuses on three problem students such as Feng Xinxi and a rich second-generation student who volunteers to join the choir. Among them, there are teenagers who become impulsive and fight because their bastard father (played by Guan Lijie) often beats their mother (played by Li Lizhen). There are girls who yearn to be cared for because their father loves alcoholism and always urges her to work and earn money. There are single-parent children who develop the habit of theft due to poor family…

However, the director and screenwriter’s description of each student and their family is like a MV, and more importantly, there is a lack of preparation for the sudden change of their parents, and the ending forcibly makes them move for their children, forcibly sensational, and unreasonable, resulting in the lack of room for outstanding actors such as Xie Junhao, Guan Lijie, and Li Lizhen to create characters and become symbolic characters in the film.

The child in the film who loved to play the harmonica, who had a habit of stealing, later went to return the stolen goods and bought them at double the price. Why did Wu Dairong, the exclusive director of the Hot Blood Choir, insist on using Plan B regardless of Yan Zilang’s pleading, and also fire Yan Zilang, who was pleading in the rain? At the end, inexplicably, the children of the Hot Blood Choir were allowed to perform on stage.

At the end, the hot-blooded choir performed a climax play, and all the actors were very involved. Andy Lau’s play directed by the mobile phone screen was impressive, but such forceful sensationalization was more about touching themselves, because it was difficult to resonate with the audience due to the lack of true and credible stories and characters.

The biggest highlight of "Hot Blood Choir" is the beautiful song at the end of the film. When I went home and checked the Internet, I found that the name of the song was "Who Can Understand Me", written by Zheng Guojiang, composed by Lin Zixiang, and sung by Andy Lau.
