  According to incomplete statistics, Sichuan Province has received various donations of 1.998 billion yuan.


  Li Chengyun:At present, the finance department of our province has received a total of 2.733 billion yuan of special funds for earthquake relief, of which 1.773 billion yuan was issued by the central government. The provincial and municipal governments allocated 3.077 billion yuan in disaster relief funds, including 1.895 billion yuan from the provincial government and 1.182 billion yuan from the municipal (state) government.

These are being urgently transported to the disaster area.


  Some counties in Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang and Aba should postpone the college entrance examination separately.


  Li Chengyun:We are now making arrangements for the resumption of classes. We passed the college entrance examination yesterday. Some counties in Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang and Aba have to postpone and take exams separately. Now, places where conditions permit should prepare for the resumption of classes.


  Qumu Shiha:With regard to post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, with the care and support of the CPC Central Committee and the leaders of the State Council, the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government have started the preliminary work of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. On the basis of learning from the experience of earthquake relief and reconstruction at home and abroad, we will adjust measures to local conditions in accordance with the people-oriented requirements of Scientific Outlook on Development, scientific planning, resource-saving and environment-friendly social requirements, make overall consideration of classified guidance in planning requirements, and push forward our reconstruction work step by step, so as to fully meet the needs of the people in the disaster areas and social development. Thank you.


  At present, the first task of disaster relief is to save people.


  Li Chengyun:Let’s answer the last question first. Now, according to the requirements of the central authorities, the provincial party committee and the provincial government are still saving people. General Secretary Jin Tao said that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should all make a hundred efforts to save survivors. Our current disaster relief task is to save people first, or to save people as the first priority; The second is that there is epidemic prevention, sanitation and epidemic prevention, because it also involves our whole society and the safety of each of us, so epidemic prevention is also the second important; The third is reconstruction, which Comrade Qumu Shiha talked about just now. Now it is under planning and construction has begun.


  Post-disaster reconstruction should be unified in planning and adoption, and the Civil Affairs Department should be unified in management.


  Li Chengyun:There are two problems with the donation of schools mentioned just now. One is that if you want to donate, you can donate to our Civil Affairs Department or to our Finance Department, but the school will contact the Education Department in the end. Because the school has a general layout, how many residential areas will build a primary school and how many residential areas will build a middle school in the future, because our future post-disaster reconstruction should be integrated with urban and rural planning, and urbanization and the construction of a new socialist countryside should be planned in a unified way. The issue of adoption is under the unified management of the Civil Affairs Department, and this method is now being studied. No other department can casually talk about adoption because we have an adoption law.


  The development of Sichuan has nothing to do with the earthquake, and there is no scientific reason to say that excessive development is unfavorable to Sichuan’s earthquake-resistant work.


  Reporter: Hello, I’m a reporter from Radio Television Hong Kong. I’d like to ask the National Development and Reform Commission. Some people say that excessive development is unfavorable to Sichuan’s earthquake-resistant work. Have you heard of this opinion?


  Li Chengyun:I don’t know where this logic comes from. It doesn’t make scientific sense.


  Reporter: because some people say that there are many chemical plants and hydropower stations built in Sichuan, it may be that if these chemical plants explode during the earthquake, there may be more casualties?


  Li Chengyun:You just said that excessive development will induce earthquakes, right?


  Reporter: Yeah. It’s not induced by light. Maybe many industries are in Sichuan. When there is an earthquake, it may explode, causing more casualties?


  Li Chengyun: First, there was no chemical plant explosion and no chemical plant explosion caused death. This is the first earthquake. Second, you just said that over-development induces earthquakes. I don’t know when and to what extent the over-development induces earthquakes. I don’t know where this scientific basis comes from. In addition, the development of Sichuan Province, our per capita GDP is now 25th in the country. I think that the development of Sichuan has nothing to do with earthquakes. We have to speed up development and build a well-off society for all. Our current GDP is 1 trillion, and it will grow to 5 trillion by 2020.


  If there are problems in the classrooms of schools in earthquake-stricken areas, they will be investigated and dealt with according to law.


  Peng Hu:In this catastrophic earthquake, some school teachers collapsed, and some teachers and students were killed or trapped. We are very sad about this. Regarding whether there are quality problems in school classrooms, our construction department has organized experts to conduct safety assessment and appraisal on all houses in the earthquake-stricken areas, and the assessment and appraisal work is underway. We will evaluate and appraise the collapse of school classrooms according to relevant standards and norms. If there are indeed problems that violate the relevant national building standards and regulations, especially mandatory standards, we will investigate and deal with them in conjunction with relevant departments according to law.


  Give full consideration to the children who were injured in the earthquake.


  Reporter: Hello, I’m a reporter from Qiushi Xiaokang magazine in Beijing. Many children were injured in the earthquake. Many of them lost their parents, relatives and classmates. Many children have been disabled for life. I wonder if we have any resettlement measures for them in the future. Thank you!


  Li Chengyun:There are resettlement measures. We have already said this time, for example, if an orphan is admitted to the college entrance examination, all the tuition fees will be borne by the government after the college entrance examination. If he is not admitted to the university, we will let the orphan go to a vocational school, and after finishing the vocational school, we will also be responsible for finding him a job. We have given full consideration to orphans, and the cost of attending vocational schools is also paid by the government, which is for senior high school, primary school and junior high school. In some junior high schools, depending on their age, whether they can take care of themselves or be raised by the civil administration will be carried out according to this method, but the cost will be borne by the government, and we will also subsidize the disabled according to the government.

People’s Forum Online Review | Answer the "Ecological Volume" of Green Water and Green Mountains

    General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made important instructions on the occasion of the first National Ecological Day, stressing that the whole society should take action to be an active disseminator and exemplary practitioner of Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets’s ideas. Ecological environmental protection affects the overall development and concerns people’s livelihood and well-being. Party member cadres should understand and comprehend the profound connotation of the theory of "two mountains", do a good job in scientific and accurate overall planning and practical demonstration, and give a "perfect score" for ecological environmental protection with long-term strategic determination.

  People live up to the castle peak, and the castle peak will live up to people. Yichun, the "forest capital" that stopped logging for ten years, focused on ecological transformation, developed the under-forest economy, and wrote the story from "opposition between man and forest" to "harmony between man and forest"; Then to abandon the "stone economy", develop eco-tourism, and realize the transformation from "the mountain is bald and the water becomes soy sauce soup" to "people walking in the village is Traveling in a pictorial world" … … Vivid practices in various places enlighten us that green mountains and green waters are ecological resources and natural wealth, but also social resources and economic wealth. Only by understanding the meaning of the theory of "two mountains" and taking the road of ecological priority and green development can we draw a magnificent picture of beautiful China.

  Idea is superior to system, and system is superior to technology. Eco-environmental protection is a systematic project, which requires not only advanced ideas to raise the flag and orient, but also reliable planning of rammed foundations. Party member cadres should deeply understand the development wisdom of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", always stand at the height of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, uphold the ideological concept of "for the long-term plan and for future generations", and make a more comprehensive and scientific overall plan to build a "four beams and eight pillars" for ecological environment protection. It is also necessary to adjust measures to local conditions, implement "personalized" considerations, aim at functional positioning, base on resource endowments, and combine stage characteristics to "accurately portray" local ecological protection, "open the way" for sustainable development, and truly transform ecological advantages into development advantages.

  The establishment of National Ecological Day is an opportunity and a call. Party member cadres should shoulder the responsibility of ecological environmental protection with pragmatism, grasp the facts, grasp the details, do a good job in all aspects of ecological environmental protection, consistently implement the system to the point, push the project to the end, and implement the decision-making and deployment to the letter; More importantly, we should always adhere to the principle of "benefiting the people by ecology, benefiting the people by ecology and serving the people", starting with "raising your hand and doing small things" such as caring for vegetation and protecting water bodies, and taking the lead in being the leader, protector and practitioner of ecological civilization construction. The cadres in party member should show persistent persistence, subtly plant the ecological concepts of respecting nature, adapting to nature and protecting nature into the minds and hearts of the masses, make ecological culture the yardstick and value yardstick of the whole society, and make a good "ecological roll" with everyone participating, caring for everything, practicing all the time and being in place everywhere.

Opening the 14th Five-Year Plan | Modern supply chain supports high-quality development of domestic economy.

CCTV News:The "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly puts forward that it is necessary to smooth the domestic circulation, in which all links of production, distribution, circulation and consumption are in line with the construction of a modern supply chain system. At present, the world is still facing uncertainty, and strong supply chain support is an important guarantee for smoothing domestic circulation and connecting with international circulation.

Jiang Chunfa runs a warp knitting textile enterprise in Haining City, Zhejiang Province, and polyester fully drawn yarn is an important raw material for his factory. Affected by the global economic situation, the price of this raw material changes very frequently. In order to maintain the stability of the supply chain and reduce costs, Jiang Chunfa, who has limited cash flow, chose a professional supply chain integration service provider to help him.

Jiang Chunfa, head of a textile enterprise in Haining City, Zhejiang Province:Through the supply chain, supply chain professional companies help me advance funds. As long as I pay the down payment, they can help me lock in more than 3,000 tons of raw materials at a low price. I calculated that I can save about 3 million yuan this month.

Next to Jiang Chunfa’s factory, Wu Chenghua’s textile factory went online with a full set of intelligent management systems. One screen can clearly see the operation of the whole factory, and he can grasp the operating rate and production efficiency of the machine in real time, and at the same time reduce the error rate of production links and improve the product quality.

Wu Chenghua, head of a textile enterprise in Haining City, Zhejiang Province:Our order volume increased by about 15%, and then the error rate was directly controlled at zero. In the first year, our output value was 10 million, and by the end of December 2020, our output value reached 50 million.

Experts said that the modern supply chain is gradually penetrating into all aspects of China’s economy and has become an important driving force for the high-quality development of China’s economy. At the same time, China has actively integrated into the global supply chain system and gradually developed from a participant in the global supply chain to a global supply chain promoter.

Wang Tingge, Chairman of a Supply Chain Integration Service Group:For the upstream and downstream of the industry, all manufacturing, circulation, logistics and accounting are experts, which is an excellent supply chain management company. This kind of company will have a more competitive advantage if it participates in the domestic large-scale circular management.

Lin Meng, Director of Modern Supply Chain Research Institute, Ministry of Commerce:On the one hand, it will help to promote the smooth flow of domestic large circulation, optimize the network structure of domestic supply chain, effectively promote collaborative integration, effectively improve the operating efficiency of supply chain, further enlarge and expand the scale of domestic large circulation, and also help to give play to the market advantage of domestic large circulation.

Ning Ji Zhe, Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission and Director of the National Bureau of Statistics, answered questions on the release of the unemployment rate in urban su

 

  [editorial comment/note]In order to conscientiously implement the Supreme Leader Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, fully implement the important decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on employment and employment statistics, and accurately and timely reflect the employment and unemployment situation in the country, the National Bureau of Statistics hasfourSince August, the national urban survey unemployment rate and31Survey the unemployment rate in cities and towns. In order to facilitate all sectors of society to better understand the concept, function and survey methods of investigating the unemployment rate, the reporter of China Information News interviewed Ning Ji Zhe, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and director of the National Bureau of Statistics, on the issues related to the release of the urban survey unemployment rate.

 

  Q: What is investigating the unemployment rate? How is it different from the registered unemployment rate?

 

  A: The survey unemployment rate refers to the percentage of the unemployed population in the total labor force (the sum of the employed population and the unemployed population) calculated through the labor force survey or relevant sampling surveys. Among them, the employed population refers to16At least one year old and above, who has worked at least in order to obtain labor remuneration or operating income during the survey reference period (usually one week before the survey time point)oneHours of people, including vacation, temporary suspension and other on-the-job but not working population. Unemployment refers to16One year old and above, no job but nearthreeI am actively looking for a job in the next month. If there is a suitable job, I can work in2People who start work in a week. The minimum age of the labor force is16One year old, no upper limit. Corresponding to the labor force,16People aged one year and above who are neither employed nor unemployed are called non-laborers, such as housewives who have no will to work, students at school and people who have lost their ability to work. The definitions of employed population and unemployed population in China are consistent with the standards of the International Labour Organization, and the survey of unemployment rate is internationally comparable.

 

  As another effective way and method of unemployment measurement, the urban unemployment registration system has played an important role in reflecting the unemployment situation in China and providing reference for the formulation of employment policies for a long time. However, because it counts the unemployed who meet certain conditions and voluntarily register with employment service agencies, it is increasingly difficult to fully reflect the unemployment situation in China’s rapidly developing and changing economic and social environment. The statistical scope of urban survey unemployment rate is the permanent population of cities and towns, including both the local population of cities and towns and the foreign permanent population, such as the population transferred from rural areas to cities and towns. It does not require unemployment registration, nor does it limit conditions such as household registration and work experience. From the survey method, unlike the method of obtaining registered unemployment rate through administrative records, the survey of unemployment rate is to obtain unemployment rate data through sampling survey of households. There are differences between them in the survey object, survey method, index meaning and calculation method, and they play different roles. Investigating the unemployment rate is essential to comprehensively, accurately and timely reflect China’s macroeconomic operation, the allocation of resources in the labor market, macro-management of services and scientific decision-making. The registered unemployment rate plays an important role in the government’s formulation of employment policies and provision of accurate employment services.

 

  Q: What is the significance of publishing the survey unemployment rate to serve the country’s development?

 

  A: Employment is the biggest livelihood. Full employment is an important goal of macroeconomic policy. As one of the four macroeconomic indicators in parallel with economic growth rate, price index and balance of payments, investigating unemployment rate plays an important role in monitoring macroeconomic operation and reflecting employment and unemployment.2018The Report on the Work of the Government in 2000 included the unemployment rate of urban survey into the main expected goal of economic and social development for the first time, which reflected that the Party and the government paid more attention to employment, better reflected the requirements of shared development, and highlighted the work orientation of improving the quality of employment and achieving fairer and more full employment.

 

  It is not only the common practice of the international community, but also the objective need of our government to serve the society by statistics. By publishing the survey unemployment rate, it can provide information support for the party and the government to strengthen and improve macro-control and scientifically formulate employment policies; It can provide basic data for experts and scholars in scientific research institutions to analyze and judge the labor market situation in China, and to carry out scientific research on employment and unemployment and employment policy consultation; It can provide useful reference for the public to know the employment and unemployment situation of the whole society in time and make employment choices; It can provide an official standard for the international community to understand China’s economic situation and employment situation and conduct international comparisons. Combining the registered unemployment rate with the survey unemployment rate and publishing the data from the two sources at the same time can provide a more comprehensive, accurate, complete and timely information basis for analyzing and judging the employment and unemployment situation in China.

 

  Since this yearfourSince June, the National Bureau of Statistics has incorporated the survey unemployment rate into the main statistical information release plan, and regularly released the national urban survey unemployment rate and31Survey the unemployment rate in cities and towns. In the future, our bureau will gradually increase the content of publication in consideration of social needs and work basis, and try its best to meet the social demand for employment and unemployment data.

 

  Q: Please briefly introduce the survey methods for investigating unemployment rate data?

 

  A: China’s survey of unemployment rate is obtained through labor force survey.2005In, the National Bureau of Statistics began to establish a national labor force survey system, which is conducted twice a year.2009In 2000, in order to reflect the impact of the international financial crisis on China in time, it was established again.31A monthly labor force survey system in a big city, every month in31A survey was conducted in 10 provincial capital cities.2016In 2000, in order to reflect the changes of China’s labor market more comprehensively, quickly and accurately, we integrated the above two parallel labor force surveys and established a national monthly labor force survey, covering all prefecture-level cities (prefectures and leagues) in China.

 

  The national monthly labor force survey adopts the method of sampling survey, calculates the whole population through samples, and the survey sampling scheme is scientifically designed, and adopts the stratified two-stage probability sampling method (PPS), and comprehensively consider the population size of each region and the urban and rural structure of residents. National monthly survey abouttwelveTen thousand households, Covering family households and collective households, the survey sample is highly representative, covering all cities (prefectures, leagues) and peace treaties in China.1800Counties (cities, districts and banners). In order to avoid sample aging and reduce the burden of survey households, the survey samples are rotated in a certain proportion every month. The current resident population (the population living in the household) and the permanent resident population (including the population of the household who has been out for less than half a year) at the survey time are the survey objects, and are not limited by region, household registration, age and so on. The survey adopts the statistical standards recommended by the International Labour Organization. The content of the survey is rich and informative, including the basic information of the respondents such as name, gender, age and education level, and the information on employment and unemployment in the week before the survey time, such as whether they worked, the reasons for not working, the industry and occupation where they worked.

 

  Q: What measures have been taken to ensure the quality of survey unemployment data?

 

  A: Focusing on the core work requirement of ensuring the quality of the survey unemployment rate data, the National Bureau of Statistics has improved the top-level design of the survey system, adjusted and optimized the survey organization and implementation agencies, strengthened the quality control of the survey implementation process, strictly implemented the requirements of data review and quality evaluation, strengthened the construction of grassroots investigators, and strengthened statistical law enforcement and inspection to ensure the authenticity and credibility of the survey unemployment rate data. First, strengthen the top-level design to ensure that the investigation plan is scientific and efficient. The National Bureau of Statistics has conducted in-depth research and exploration on the work of ensuring the data quality of the survey unemployment rate in terms of theory, methods and practice, closely communicated with the International Labor Organization, international counterparts and domestic and foreign scientific research institutes, and extensively referred to international experience, and established a scientific, reliable and standardized national monthly labor force survey system and method system. The second is to strengthen the quality control of the investigation process to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the source data. Solidly carry out the professional training, management and guidance of front-line investigators, strictly implement the quality control requirements of all aspects of data collection, scientifically and meticulously carry out data review, evaluation and analysis, and ensure the comprehensive and accurate implementation of the investigation plan and various work quality requirements. The third is to optimize the means of data acquisition, transmission and processing, and improve the efficiency and quality of investigation. The data collection of the survey unemployment rate is based on the online direct reporting system of the National Bureau of Statistics.oneMore than 10,000 investigators use hand-held electronic terminal equipment to collect data in real time and submit them directly to the National Bureau of Statistics through the network, thus effectively improving the investigation efficiency, and strictly checking and accepting the investigation data to ensure that the data quality responsibility can be traced back. The fourth is to strengthen investigation and publicity and improve the degree of investigation and cooperation. The cooperation and support of residents is the premise and foundation to ensure the quality of unemployment rate data. In recent years, the National Bureau of Statistics has been making continuous efforts to improve the publicity of the labor force survey, and by posting announcements and issuing a letter to the survey households, the majority of households have increased their understanding of the labor force survey and effectively enhanced their cooperation. Fifth, strictly implement the principle of investigation according to law, and strictly guard against statistical fraud and fraud. The National Bureau of Statistics conscientiously implements the Opinions of the Central Committee on Deepening the Reform of Statistical Management System and Improving the Authenticity of Statistical Data, strictly enforces statistical laws and regulations, effectively supervises the investigation process through telephone verification, tamps down the responsibility of grassroots work, and ensures that the data is true, reliable, accurate and timely.

 

  Q: Compared with other countries and regions, what is the level of urban survey unemployment rate in China?

 

  A: All countries in the world regard employment as an important goal of macro-control. In recent years, the world economy has experienced ups and downs, trade protectionism has obviously risen, uncertainty and instability have increased, and China’s employment pressure is still relatively high. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council adhered to the people-centered development thought, guided the grasp of the new normal of economic development, thoroughly implemented the employment priority strategy and active employment policy, made overall plans to stabilize growth, promote reform, adjust the structure, and benefit people’s livelihood, thus maintaining the medium and high-speed economic development and effectively supporting the stable and positive employment situation. According to the latest data of the International Labour Organization, the average unemployment level in developed countries and regions is6.6%The average unemployment level in developing countries and regions is5.5%, the global average unemployment rate is5.7%. Compared with other countries and regions in the world, the unemployment rate in China’s urban areas is lower than the global average and that in developing countries and regions, and the employment situation remains stable.

Micro-short plays are not good for making money, and they are on Chinese plays again?

Author | Gu Han

Editor | Li Chunhui

 

In 2022, long plays are getting shorter and short plays are getting longer.

 

The former is mainly reflected in the change of set number. There are only 24 episodes of the costume drama "The Wind Rises in Longxi" that the stars joined and landed on CCTV, which was unimaginable in previous years. In pure online drama, the volume of about 20 episodes is becoming more and more mainstream. The story of the thrush was split into two parts: 22 episodes and 20 episodes. Think of those fairy tales with 50 or 60 episodes in the early years. It’s like a lifetime ago.

 

The latter is mainly reflected in the change of the duration of the single episode. At the beginning of 2022, the comedy miniseries "Aunt’s World" attracted attention in a single episode of about 5 minutes, while the recent well-known puppet miniseries "I am in ignorance" and "I haven’t seen my only daughter" doubled on this basis, with a single episode of about 10 minutes.These dramas seem to take a middle between the traditional long drama and the short drama, with a slightly longer single episode and horizontal screen shooting.At present, there is no official unified name, so let’s call it "Chinese opera".

 

Aiyou Tengmang did this in order to adapt to the viewing habits of long video users. However, just in the past April, Aauto Quicker also launched a "five-minute drama" wing-supporting plan, and put forward new requirements for production specifications in terms of access conditions, such as "shooting on a horizontal screen, with a frame width-height ratio ≥1.3".

 

This is not without warning. In this year’s Spring Festival, Aauto Quicker’s most famous ancient short play "princess royal is on" is the horizontal screen.

 

 

At the 2020 Watermelon PLAY Curiosity Conference, Ren Lifeng, president of Watermelon Video, put forward three characteristics of Chinese video: 1-30 minutes, horizontal screen and PGC production. Therefore, judging by the length of time, the "micro-short drama" that has been called for several years has already been on the road of Chinese video-even the shortest ones can have one and a half minutes in an episode.

 

The trend of horizontal screen and specialization makes this more clear. The micro-short drama that comes out vertically may ultimately rely on "horizontal" to truly adapt to the long-established habit of watching dramas.

 

Long video, an outsider in the video competition?

 

The video industry has had a hard time these two years. Both long and short videos have entered the stage of stock competition. Among Chinese video players, bilibili, the only one who didn’t work hard in vain, didn’t agree with the positioning of Chinese video at all, and stepped into the mire of burning money in content.

 

In this case, breaking the time limit and expanding the content ecology have become their common choice.According to the theory of high emotional intelligence, the boundaries between long, medium and short videos are becoming more and more blurred. To put it mildly, there are more and more behaviors of copying homework from each other:

 

Tik Tok has launched a web version of PC, and now it can publish pictures and texts in addition to videos. Aauto Quicker added barrage function after double speed. This year, bilibili is pushing for short video with vertical screen. The content of immersion, less processing and the way of sliding up and down are all like shaking fast.

 

Chinese video is a concept that gets hot at the first sign. In the first half of 2020, Quibi (bankrupt) Appeared in Hollywood, who wanted to do short plays in Netflix mode. Gong Yu, CEO of iQiyi, made judgments such as "the market potential of YouTube mode app will increase significantly in the next 2-3 years" and revealed that a new medium-long video product "Suike" was being developed.

 

In the second half of 2020, Watermelon Video, which has attracted much attention because of the long video action of bytes, announced that at least 2 billion yuan will be used to subsidize Chinese video creation in the coming year. In just one year, Chinese video has changed from a crowd to a crowd, and WeChat, Zhihu, Baidu … even Betta has followed suit.

 

 

Nominally, middle video is a cross boundary that appears when short video is long and long video is short. But in fact, the recognized Chinese video players are bilibili, Watermelon Video and even Zhihu. After all, short videos can be made into Chinese videos, and it is easier to achieve it by releasing the time limit. Only the long video platforms, although they have qualifications and resources, are always outsiders in the Chinese video competition.

 

Tencent’s short and medium video exploration started very early, and its street products reached double digits. Microvision will survive until now, and it will be integrated into the same business unit with Tencent Video. Iqiyi borrowed the east wind of "Youth has You 2" when it was first launched. However, it never formed a real creative ecology and failed to transform into a second-generation platform for its film and television dramas. After the wave of layoffs at the end of last year, it also merged with other products.

 

The reasons are as follows: First, the forms of entertainment are increasingly subdivided, and "Shake Fast B" have occupied the mountain of PUGC and fragmented entertainment. More importantly, PUGC’s long video is something that was once owned and actively eliminated. Long video has been on the road of professional content and payment mode for a long time, and now users want to go back and pick up PUGC, which users are neither used to nor expected.

 

In this way, the special features of Chinese drama are revealed.You don’t have to rely on ecology in particular, but you can operate it according to the drama series. It may be a rare opportunity for a long video to grab the initiative in the middle video.

 

Is the video still waiting to be defined?

 

It may be due to the fact that YouTube was taken as the control group from the beginning inside and outside the industry, and there is a ready-made bilibili for reference in China. It may also be because it is the byte system that has been keen to define and promote it, and Chinese video seems to have been deeply bound to PUGC mode.

 

When it comes to Chinese video, we will first think of VLOG, pan-knowledge content, film and television commentary/second creation, etc. However, this is not necessarily because of how well these contents fit with the Chinese video, but more likely because of the repeated collisions between Chinese video players, or between long, medium and short videos around these contents (such as wizard financial events), and the impression left over time.

 

How can a long video platform develop its video? In the past, the answer was basically to incorporate film and television commentary/second creation, so that the traffic of short and medium videos can be precipitated around the long video IP, which is typical for example. Instead of creating long-term content in a professional way that is familiar to long videos.

 

In fact, 1-30 minutes is the professional content that most viewers are familiar with: a cross talk or sketch, an animated cartoon, a sitcom, a MV or music scene, a segment cut by a TV station with advertisements …

 

 

In other words, the long video platform has a lot of professional content of medium video length, and even the single episode of many online dramas in the early years is about ten or twenty minutes. Only in a specific period, 40-60 minutes showed a greater advantage, so that this specification was eliminated, or at least marginalized in live-action dramas.

 

However, nowadays, when people’s time is further divided by short videos and patience is further eroded, 40-60 minutes of continuous watching becomes a kind of pressure. The volume of short and medium videos has become more in line with the demands of this audience.

 

 

Compared with the mini-short drama with a single episode of less than 5 minutes, the Chinese drama, which has doubled in duration, has a huge imagination space.

 

First of all, in terms of content, it can make the script more elaborate, no longer ups and downs, and the characterization is more delicate and free from stereotypes. On the whole, longer and more elaborate stories can also make Chinese dramas convey more different emotions and dig deeper themes beyond "cool".

 

On a more practical level, the realization of miniseries has always been a hot topic. Behind the occasional explosions, there are countless projects and teams with cannon fodder. This is the case in the period of "barbaric growth" of each content, except that the miniseries may have a shorter period and pay less.

 

At present, the monetization methods used in micro-short plays include advertisement implantation, brand customization (single episode, non-drama or whole play), leading actor’s delivery after becoming a talent through short play hit (limited to shaking fast), and content payment.

 

For the advertising model, the longer duration of Chinese drama undoubtedly gives more room for implantation. In the payment mode, the longer the duration and the more detailed the story, the better the chance for the audience to "willingly" pay for the Chinese drama.

 

In addition, telling the story well and IP-translating the content creativity instead of the actors may be good for long video platforms and non-MCN film and television companies that can’t adopt the mode of bringing goods by talents. In the barrage of "Oblivity", many netizens have expressed their desire to see this story expanded into a more excellent long drama. At first, the micro-short-drama brand rabbit-rabbit culture, which was invested by bilibili, also hoped to carry out creative testing and IP incubation through micro-short-drama.

 

This world, after all, is horizontal?

 

Hard Sugar Jun once thought that the micro-short plays of each platform may form distinct style barriers according to their respective interface design and audience groups. However, it seems that the specifications of micro-short dramas and Chinese dramas in the future may gradually become unified, or be stable in certain types. At least on the issue of horizontal screen and vertical screen, the trend has been revealed.

 

Yien Data: Insights into the Trend of Video Content in 2021-Micro-Short Plays

 

Why are micro-short plays and Chinese plays slowly falling to the horizontal screen?

 

Vertical screen is the most commonly used specification of short video, and the main body of the screen is often very clear, with little information, which is consistent with the demand of short video to minimize the energy input of users. However, when miniseries want to overcome the commercialization problem, this pursuit cannot be changed, and it is necessary to seek specialization and quality upgrading, so that the audience can adjust their psychological expectations from casual viewing to serious input.

 

Horizontal screen is the most widely used specification in traditional film and television, and it will look more like professional content than short video. Secondly, the format of movies and TV series has evolved many times, but the overall trend is to broaden horizontally, which fully proves the superiority of horizontal screen over vertical screen in storytelling-it can accommodate more information, and can assist narrative through depth of field, scheduling and other skills, making the picture look beautiful and textured.

 

 

More importantly, the same horizontal screen specifications as traditional film and television are more convenient for traditional film and television practitioners to transition to the creation of micro-short dramas and Chinese dramas.Looking back at the early reports of miniseries, there are many film and television practitioners who are unfamiliar with the balance between vertical screen and short video rhythm, and the performance of miniseries is not as good as that of short video MCN.

 

When the long video platform collectively came to an end and pushed the horizontal screen specification, this problem was no longer a problem. Some traditional film and television companies familiar to the audience, such as Huayi Chuangxing, Jiaxing Media and Wuyuan Culture, have all come to an end. Last year, Fang Guoyun Culture, the producer of "Who’s the Murderer" in Fog Theater, was revealed by Ren Xiaofeng, the chairman of the board, at the industry forum that the company currently has as many as 30+ short drama projects.

A more realistic situation is: on the connection with traditional film and television companies, on the "distance" from the main force of drama chasing, on the operation and announcement ability of drama series, after all, the long video platform is better.

 

In Q1, 2022, Mango TV’s "Ignorance" achieved a total broadcast volume of 510 million, and Tencent video’s "Please! Don’t spoil me has 450 million plays, both higher than the 420 million in Aauto Quicker’s station TOP1 and the 310 million in Tik Tok’s station TOP1. For the first time in the field of short drama, the long video platform overtakes the short video platform, and the market structure has quietly changed.

 

Back in 2018, Life Began on Me, which was broadcast on iQiyi, provoked the topic of short drama with vertical screen for the first time. However, the long video platform did not match the vertical screen and the length of one minute, and Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok got the first bonus of short drama, which gave the first definition of short drama.

 

Will this situation be reversed in 2022? If one day the long video successfully takes the lead in short drama, will it be a blessing or a curse for short drama?

It’s hot, you may get more money! Attached to the distribution standards of 28 provinces

  Sino-Singapore Jingwei client May 31 (Xiong Jiali) Entering the summer, many places in the country are welcoming high temperatures, and your salary may be more than a sum of money &mdash; &mdash; High temperature allowance. Come and see, how much can you get?

  Hainan has the longest distribution time, and these four provinces have the most.

  According to the incomplete statistics of Sino-Singapore Jingwei client, 28 provinces have announced the high temperature allowance standard. In these 28 provinces, the high temperature allowance is divided into three categories: monthly, daily and hourly. Judging from the length of payment, among the provinces that clearly stipulate the time of payment of high temperature allowance, most provinces are between June and August or September. Among them, Hainan Province has the longest distribution time, from April 1 to October 31, with a time span of 7 months.

  Judging from the amount of payment, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces have the highest subsidies on a monthly basis. The standard of high temperature allowance in Shanghai and Jiangsu provinces is 300 yuan/month, while that in Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces is divided into "outdoor" and "indoor". The current high temperature allowance standard in Zhejiang is 300 yuan/month for outdoor workers and 200 yuan/month for indoor workers; Jiangxi stipulates that the high-temperature allowance for workers engaged in outdoor high-temperature operations is not less than 300 yuan/month, and that for workers engaged in indoor non-high-temperature operations is not less than 200 yuan/month.

  On a daily basis, Shaanxi and Jiangxi rank first and second respectively. The allowance standard in Shaanxi is 25 yuan/day per person, and Jiangxi is not less than 20 yuan/day per person.

  In Tianjin, where high temperature allowance is also paid on a daily basis, the payment standard is linked to the average monthly salary of employees, and the calculation method is: the average monthly salary of employees in the previous year is 21.75 × 12%. For example, according to the average monthly salary of employees in Tianjin in 2018 of 5,871 yuan, the standard of high temperature allowance in Tianjin in 2019 is 32 yuan/day.

  In addition, among the above 28 provinces, Hebei Province pays high temperature allowance by the hour, with 2 yuan per hour for outdoor workers and 1.5 yuan per hour for indoor workers.

  High temperature allowance in some areas may be adjusted.

  The client of Sino-Singapore Jingwei noticed that as of May 30, 2020, only Shaanxi in 28 provinces had issued the 2020 version of the summer heatstroke prevention and cooling notice, and the other 27 provinces were still extending the policy of last year or even earlier, and the standard of high temperature allowance in some areas remained unchanged for many years.

  For example, the high temperature allowance standard in Henan Province has not changed since it was extended in 2008. In 2008, Henan Province announced that the standard of high temperature allowance was 10 yuan per person per working day. If the employer fails to consider the high-temperature operation factor when formulating or adjusting the post salary standard, or the high-temperature allowance standard is lower than that of 10 yuan per person per working day, it shall be implemented according to the standard of 10 yuan per person per working day.

  The high temperature allowance standard currently implemented in Shandong Province is the Notice on Adjusting the heatstroke prevention and cooling fee standard for enterprise employees (Lu Ren She Fa [2015] No.45) in 2015. Among them, it is stipulated that the personnel engaged in outdoor operations and high temperature operations will be 200 yuan per person per month; 140 yuan per person per month for non-high temperature operators. The whole year is counted and distributed in June, July, August and September.

  In addition, the high temperature allowance standard in Guangxi was formulated in 2011 and has not been adjusted so far. Although Guangdong’s current high temperature allowance standard was formulated in 2012, each person has a monthly 150 yuan. But in fact, as early as 2007, Guangdong issued the Notice on Promulgating the Standards of High Temperature Allowance in Guangdong Province. Comparing the two documents, the subsidy amount of high temperature allowance is the highest in 150 yuan.

  The Administrative Measures for Heatstroke Prevention and Cooling Measures, which was implemented in 2012, clearly stipulates that the high-temperature allowance standard shall be formulated by the provincial human resources and social security administrative department in conjunction with relevant departments, and adjusted in a timely manner according to the social and economic development. Therefore, provinces that have not raised the high temperature allowance standard for many years may adjust the standard.

  Who can enjoy the high temperature allowance? What if the unit doesn’t send it?

  In June 2012, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and other four departments formulated the Management Measures for Heatstroke Prevention and Cooling Measures (hereinafter referred to as the Measures), which stipulated the specific high-temperature allowance system.

  The "Measures" stipulate that workers engaged in high-temperature operations shall enjoy post allowances according to law. If the employing unit arranges the laborers to engage in outdoor open-air operations in high-temperature weather above 35℃ and cannot take effective measures to reduce the workplace temperature below 33℃, it shall pay the laborers a high-temperature allowance, which shall be included in the total wages.

  Who can enjoy it? The Sino-Singapore Jingwei client noticed that the Measures are applicable to employers such as enterprises, institutions and individual economic organizations that have high-temperature operations and arrange workers’ operations during high-temperature weather. That is to say, as long as employers arrange high-temperature operations, workers in enterprises, institutions and individual economic organizations can enjoy high-temperature allowances according to law.

  What if the unit doesn’t issue high temperature allowance? If the employer violates the rules in granting the high temperature allowance, the worker can ask the trade union for help. The "Measures" pointed out that trade unions have the right to propose to employers, and employers should make corrections in time. If the employer refuses to make corrections, the trade union organization shall submit it to the relevant departments for handling according to law, and supervise the handling results.

In the 30th anniversary of Pudong’s development and opening up, good literary works are like tall buildings in Pudong.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Pudong’s development and opening up.

From April 9 to 12, a special planning activity named "Dialogue Literature, Love for Pudong" was held on the cloud. Sun Ganlu, a writer and vice chairman of Shanghai Writers Association, Hong Xue, a platinum writer of Reading Group, Teng Xiaolan, a writer and deputy secretary-general of Shanghai Writers Association, and the author of the serial novel "Pujiangdong" from the starting point and the special prize work "Shanghai Prosperity" of the third realistic online literature essay contest shared their stories with readers online.

Pudong is no longer a "cultural desert"

In Sun Ganlu’s view, the 30th anniversary of Pudong’s development and opening-up is not only a microcosm and a symbol of China’s reform and opening-up, but also redefines Shanghai as a city with tradition, history and a sense of the future.

Sun Ganlu

"You will know at a glance in Pudong that its changes are very great. Of course, this change is not only in infrastructure construction, not only in finance and commerce, but also in the spiritual life of China society and ordinary people brought by Pudong’s development and opening up. "

He took the cultural construction in Pudong as an example. Once upon a time, Pudong was dubbed the "cultural desert", and now the construction of the Riverside Cultural Belt is advancing. There will be the Shanghai Museum East Hall, the Shanghai Library East Hall, the Shanghai Grand Opera House, the Pudong Art Museum and the Pudong Group Art Museum, where citizens can enjoy literature, painting and performing arts.

"In recent years, Pudong has also gathered a large number of talents in the art world. In my impression, Pudong is mostly talented people in the financial and scientific fields, but now many literary artists have settled here, and many outstanding writers, poets, painters, calligraphers and photographers have emerged in Pudong. I think this also came into being. At such a moment, Pudong has such a foundation to bring these important literary and artistic talents together and unite. "

As a writer, Sun Ganlu thinks that literary creation is something that needs long-term accumulation and serious treatment. A good literary work is like a tall building in Pudong. It needs a lot of fine work from planning and design to construction and maintenance.

"Literary and artistic creation also takes time. I think writers and artists need to grow up with the city in order to write really good works that can reflect life. "

The writers here wrote down the works here.

Born, raised and worked in Pudong, Teng Xiaolan is a typical local writer in Pudong. Her first novel, Moonlight in the City, was completed in 2008. The protagonist is a young couple in Shanghai. They stumbled and quarreled all the way, and their growth was also integrated into the growth of Pudong.

"The changes in Pudong are changing with each passing day. It is brand new and has great potential. " In the later "A City within a City", Teng Xiaolan also wrote about the financial life in Pudong. In order to finish her work better, she visited major financial institutions before writing, stayed in these institutions, went in and out with financial people, watched how they went to work and listened to how they chatted, thus truly deepening the "financial life" of Pudong.

Teng xiaolan

Teng Xiaolan said with a smile, often at the beginning of his creation, he didn’t think of where to write, but in the end he always fell to Pudong unconsciously. "It is often written that those place names and landmark buildings in Pudong come out. For an author, it is so familiar to be in it, so it sometimes becomes a habit. "

Unlike Teng Xiaolan, the earth windmill is a "Shanghai drift". It has been 14 years since he came to Shanghai in 2006.

"For so many years, I have seen and heard too much, and I have experienced too much personally. I have an impulse to describe the development and changes of Shanghai in detail and write this era with a pen. This is an impulse or a responsibility that every writer should have. "

In 2019, "Prosperity of Shanghai" by the Land Windmill won the special prize of the third realistic online literature essay contest. This work depicts the economic and social life of a certain field in Shanghai from 2005 to 2015 in detail through the 10-year struggle of a migrant farmer’s children. In fact, it was also written by the windmill on its own prototype, and many of the details were personally experienced in Shanghai. "The protagonist of the story is Wang Yiyuan, because when I was in Shanghai, I really had only one dollar in my clothes. I hope these experiences can inspire readers. "

The windmill said, "Why should we commemorate the 30th anniversary of Pudong’s development and opening up? From my personal understanding, commemorating it is to better sum up experience in the future and dig out something more worthy of carrying forward. Making the future better is the greatest significance. "

Dadi windmill

Like the development of Pudong, online literature is also developing.

Blood red came to Pudong in 2003 and began to settle in Pudong in 2004. He recalled: "At that time, there was no reading group that we are familiar with now, only qidian, which had just started. At that time, the online literature was like the grassland next to the second house I rented in Pudong. "

blood-red

He still remembers that once he and other authors and editors went to an Internet cafe to play games online. He opened qidian’s page, and when he clicked on the user name input box, he found a list of user accounts pulled down there.

"It can be seen that many readers have logged in the starting point on that computer, and it is also obvious that it was not easy for them to read our books at that time. At that time, home computers and broadband were not popular, so they had to go to public internet cafes if they wanted to watch them. At that time, it was really the time when online literature started. "

For the authors at that time, it was a great honor to be able to publish a set of physical paper novels. The total subscription of readers on the website accounts for more than 90% of the author’s income. Nowadays, with the development of IP, novels can bring games, movies, cartoons and other peripheral outputs, and online writers are more diversified in terms of income and evaluation mechanism.

"This is our gospel, but it also means that our creation must be better." Blood red said, "In the early days, you can use a simple story mode to fight monsters and upgrade all the way, and have grievances and passions. But now you have to ponder the details of the characters, the details of the story, and the details of the world background. Your whole book should also have humanistic feelings. "

"Like the development of Pudong, online literature is developing, and readers of online literature are also growing. My old book friends are tired of reading a lot of things. You must give them new stories, new touching and new strength. "

Launching theme essay, Pudong glory from the perspective of online articles in the same period

In 2003, qidian, the predecessor of Yuewen Group, went to Zhangjiang to start a business. After nearly 20 years of development, today’s Reading Group has a reserve of 12.2 million works, 8.1 million creators, covering more than 200 content categories, with more than 200 million active users every month, and has successfully exported many well-known popular IP’s at home and abroad, such as Ghost Blowing Lights, Grave Notes, nirvana in fire and Full-time Master Joy of Life.

This Internet cultural and creative enterprise, which has taken root, sprouted and grown in Zhangjiang, is not only one of the beneficiaries of China’s leading high-tech industries, but also a witness and narrator of Pudong’s development in recent years.

Wu Wenhui, CEO of Yuewen Group, said: "Pudong is a fertile ground for entrepreneurship. He not only witnessed the growth of Yuewen Group, but also witnessed the wonderful course of the development and growth of China’s online literature and digital publishing industry. Whether it is the policy support of the new district government or the strong cultural and creative atmosphere in Pudong, it has escorted the Reading Group on the road of entrepreneurial development, which is the reason why Reading is determined to take root in Pudong. "

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Pudong’s development and opening-up, Reading Group jointly launched a theme essay with Pudong Federation of Literary and Art Circles, encouraging authors to pay attention to social reality, focusing on scientific and technological innovation, culture, education, sports, trade and finance, etc., looking back at history and describing the present.

The essay writing works should be based on materials or focus on all aspects of Pudong’s development. The content can not only look back at history, but also describe the present, and also look forward to the future of high-quality development. It can be fiction or documentary works. The forms of works include novels, essays and poems.

The essay writing time is from now until May 31st this year, and the selection time is June this year. The prize is set as a special prize, with a reward of 10,000 yuan; There are also five winners, each with a reward of 5,000 yuan. In addition, the award-winning works will also be promoted by the platform-wide resources of the Reading Group and the IP adaptation of the works, and the award-winning author will also have the opportunity to become a long-term author.

Wu Wenhui said that it is also the initial intention of Reading Group to launch an essay for short stories commemorating the 30th anniversary of Pudong’s development and opening up to the outside world to dig out excellent works that truly take root in life and carefully polish details. Through diversified development and linkage, these high-quality works will have greater social value and economic benefits, and literature from reality will return to reality and embrace the public.

How does the trade war affect American families? A pair of shoes may cost more than 50 dollars.

  BEIJING, May 21 (Xinhua) Under the Sino-US trade war, the two countries will increase tariffs, and American consumers will bear the final cost. So how much will this cost be? British BBC Chinese website reported on 20th that it analyzed the influence of tariff war on American consumers, taking sports shoes as an example.

  [A big burden]

  US President Trump threatened to further expand the scope of tariff increase after he increased the tariff on imports from China from 10% to 25%. The Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America estimates that the price of sports shoes will increase from $150 to $206 under high tariffs. Other kinds of shoes will have a similar increase in price.

  For the average American family, this is a big burden.

  How big is this burden? The following is the extra cost of an American family in buying shoes.

  If you live in the United States and want to buy a new pair of shoes for your children, the American Footwear Dealers Association estimates that the price of new shoes will rise from $10 to $15.

  And if your daughter wants to buy a new pair of basketball shoes, the price will rise from $130 to $179.

  Your husband or wife may also say that he wants to buy a new pair of boots as a birthday present. It only costs $190 before the tariff increase, but it will rise to $249 after that.

  【Additional costs are passed on to consumers.

  Don’t forget, if the United States really expands the scope of tariffs on China’s imports, the goods affected will be far more than shoes. Household appliances, beef, frozen fruits and vegetables will all be affected.

  A study by the University of Chicago in the United States shows that after American consumers imposed tariffs on each other in China and the United States, the average selling price of washing machines increased by 12%, and the prices of dryers and other related products also increased. The price that American consumers have to pay in this round of Sino-US trade friction may rise later.

  The American Apparel & Footwear Association estimates that if Sino-US trade friction escalates further, a family of four may spend about $500 more on clothes, shoes and other related products every year.

  The increase in the price of goods is due to the fact that American companies have to pay extra tariffs to the US government when importing products from China, and some companies will choose to transfer these extra costs to consumers.

  A study by Trade Partnership Worldwide also estimated that Sino-US trade friction increased the average annual expenditure of American families by $2,300.

  Seriously "affect the US retail industry.

  US President Trump often said that if companies manufacture products in the United States or move their production lines to countries that are not affected by tariffs, such as Vietnam and Indonesia, they can avoid the impact of tariffs.

  Data Map: On November 27th, 2014, the United States ushered in the "Black Friday" shopping season, and major shopping malls and supermarkets launched discounted goods, and customers queued up for shopping.

  Rick Helfenbein, CEO of the American Apparel and Footwear Association, thinks that’s not easy. Some companies are moving their production lines to these places, but technology and workers’ skills are not so easy to transfer.

  He revealed that 72% of shoes, 84% of accessories and 41% of clothes sold in the United States are made in China. He said that the American market is very dependent on China because it can’t find other places to import the corresponding goods. He described the United States as "trapped". He said that tariffs will "seriously" affect the US retail industry.

  Andy Polk, spokesman of the American Shoe and Socks Dealers Association, told the BBC that domestic factories in the United States would not make some shoes that could be imported from China, and even if they did, it would be more expensive to make them in the United States than to import them from China.

  He said that the retail price of hiking shoes made in the United States can reach 300 dollars, and the price of running shoes will be 150 dollars, or even more expensive.

  Polk also criticized Trump’s tariff measures to reduce the company’s funds for product innovation. "Most companies have made budgets several months ago, and the factories in China have now started to make winter products, so we have begun to prepare the budget for the winter of 2020."

  "If companies have to spend more money to stay in their biggest market, they will spend less on product innovation, design and technology." (End)

German Deputy Prime Minister said that increasing tariffs would delay technological development.

On June 22nd, Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao met with German Federal Deputy Chancellor and Minister of Economy and Climate Protection Chabek in Beijing. In the face of the EU’s imposition of tariffs on electric vehicles, China said on the spot that the EU’s move was a huge mistake, and Chabek also said that it would delay the urgently needed technological development, and both sides supported dialogue to solve the problem.
