"Did you’fly ‘today?"

"My’addiction ‘has broken again, please update it quickly."

"It’s not on the way to visit relatives and friends, it’s on the way to chase’Hurricane ‘."

Since CCTV’s eight sets of broadcasts, the country’s audience ratings have topped the list, and it has also become the new "drama king" of the exclusive broadcast platform iQIYI. This is the anti-black drama "Hurricane", which has rushed to the forefront of almost all communication platform topics and traffic. According to CCTV Sofrey data, CCTV’s eight sets of "Hurricane" have a balanced age distribution of viewers from 1 to 27 episodes, which can be said to be eaten by young and old.

This is a Zhejiang-produced TV drama supported by the Zhejiang Provincial Culture and Art Fund, co-produced by a film and television culture company in Zhejiang. Why can a "traditional" anti-black TV drama stand out and top the chart? Where does "addiction" come from?

one

To answer the above two questions, let’s first talk about the meaning behind the title of "Hurricane". What is it about Hurricane?

Some viewers say that the scale is surging. Compared with most traditional anti-crime films and television dramas that mainly focus on anti-black heroes, "Surging" defies the original narrative angle and boldly adopts a two-line narrative technique of one good and one evil. It does not shy away from depicting the family history of the underworld boss in depth and detail, and vividly tells the story of how an honest and dutiful petty citizen went to the dark step by step. When the underworld boss is no longer just a stereotypical "foil", it can better reflect the difficulty and long-term responsibility of the anti-crime operation itself.

Some viewers also said that justice was surging. For example, the justice representative in the play, Police Officer An Xin, in the past 20 years, although he has been bruised and exhausted in the fight against the evil forces, and even betrayed and fell into despair, he has always stood at the forefront of the anti-black struggle. Even if he became a "lonely brave man" in Jinghai, he did not change his original intention.

In addition, more people will feel that the acting is going crazy. There is no doubt about this, and it can even be said that it is one of the key reasons why "Hurricane" broke the wall and broke out of the circle. Just looking at the cast and crew of the TV series is enough to make people "feel at ease". Zhang Songwen, a famous movie star, and a large number of old actors such as Zhang Zhijian, Wu Gang, and Ni Dahong performed together. It is not surprising that all the acting staff are online, and the audience is immersed in it.

In this regard, the biggest highlight of "Hurricane" is the actor Zhang Songwen, whose "Brother Qiang" has almost covered more than half of the show’s traffic topics. Zhang Songwen’s acting is so realistic that many bullet comments called for "suggestion to check". "It’s not like it’s acting, maybe there is a real problem." Others, after watching "Hurricane", confessed that they have "post-hurricane syndrome", so that when they go out and see a small stall peddler, they vaguely feel that they are a hidden underworld boss. Some fans even commented: "’Brother Qiang’s acting is so good that across the screen, I can smell the fishy smell of Qiaoyuqiang and the smell of cologne after blackening."

In fact, there is a certain inevitability behind Zhang Songwen’s popularity and fame.

The external environment provides an opportunity to break out of the circle. In recent years, the domestic film and television drama market has been flooded with all kinds of "little fresh meat" and "little fresh". The acting skills are grandiose, but they can play the starring role of big dramas by virtue of popularity and traffic. Fans continue to brush the charts and impulse, resulting in extremely high ratings for the repertoire. After a long frenzy, the market needs to return to rationality; after a long frenzy, the audience naturally calls for acting skills.

Internal driving forces create their own value. Zhang Songwen’s title of "play crazy" has a long history. After more than 20 years of professional downturn, Zhang Songwen has completely conquered the audience with the role of Zhu Yongping in "Hidden Corner". Every smile and every move is a play. In order to play Gao Qiqiang, "life observer" Zhang Songwen specially went to a local vegetable market in Guangdong early to observe the daily life of fish traders, and recorded it in his heart and engraved it in his mind.

Zhang Yi, who played opposite Zhang Songwen, is equally brilliant. In him, we see different "An Xin" of different ages and stages. From the fledgling and blood-pumping in his 20s, to the ideals in his 30s and still sticking to the mission, to the sophisticated and down-to-reality in his 40s, the "An Xin" police officer at every stage makes us feel that such people exist in real life.

With its storyline and its acting skills, how could the audience not suffer from "addiction"?

two

Why is "Hurricane" superior to ordinary anti-black film and television dramas? In addition to the acting skills of "hard-core" actors, the power of "Hurricane" lies in finding the right narrative angle and presentation method.

Speaking of anti-black theme film and television dramas, many people’s minds will emerge a set of fixed scripts, a preset plot: righteous, upright political and legal officers disguised, deep into the tiger’s den, follow the cane to lead out the umbrella company behind the evil forces, after a battle of wits and courage, successfully sent the bad guys to prison, and everyone was happy and ended successfully.

"The underworld and evil forces have original sins, and the bad guys are bad guys from the beginning of the story." Compared with "Hurricane", ordinary anti-underworld film and television dramas lose by prematurely framing the villains, profiling the villains, and shaping each villain into an unscrupulous and cunning person. Not only that, but the good and evil factions in the plot are always two parallel lines, with no intersection, no transition, and no so-called "gray area".

Justice deserves praise, but evil also needs objective analysis. The underworld does not fall from the sky, and the process of formation has an intricate social soil. Compared with ordinary anti-black film and television dramas, "Hurricane" wins by telling the story of an ordinary person walking into the abyss of evil and evolving into the boss of the underworld. In "Hurricane", good and evil are not mutually exclusive, but will intersect and even transform each other.

The protagonist of the story, Gao Qiqiang, was originally an ordinary fishmonger in the vegetable market. After losing his parents at the age of 13, Gao Qiqiang played the role of a "father", raising his younger brother and sister alone. After experiencing the beatings of society and the ravages of reality, Gao Qiqiang staggered from the bottom of society to the top, from a law-abiding citizen who was bullied to a underworld boss who dominated the world with one hand.

The writer Lu Yao once wrote that although the road of life is long, the key points are only a few steps, especially when people are young. For many people, justice is on the left and evil is on the right, and the difference of one thought may be a lifetime away.

When the Tang brothers humiliated and smashed the TV they had worked so hard to buy, Gao Qiqiang chose to fight; when the neighbors heard that the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was his backer, Gao Qiqiang chose to remain silent and pretend to be a tiger; when faced with his brother’s desire to start a business that required 20,000 yuan to open a PHS store, Gao Qiqiang chose to take risks and become a thug, eventually leading to the abyss of crime.

What "Hurricane" presents is not only the battle of wits between good and evil, but also the floating of people’s hearts and human choices. The process of watching "Hurricane" is the process of the audience following the characters in the play, making choices again and again. From an honest fish seller, to a liar, to a criminal, each choice pushes the fate of the characters in the play to a new position.

The TV series "Hurricane" fully respects the IQ of the audience, depicts the history of a underworld boss’s fortune, and exposes the historical causes of the underworld hovering in Jinghai City for many years. Under the premise of sweeping away the underworld and promoting righteousness, the whole drama appears more flesh and blood, reasonable and logical.

three

Of course, in addition to the superficial elements such as acting, plot, and scale, the reason why "Hurricane" makes the audience unable to stop is also because it reflects human nature itself, workplace ecology, and social reality to a certain extent, making people feel "so far away and so close" across the screen.

The time dimension of the story spans from 2000 to 2020. 20 years of rapid development, development means change, accompanied by problems, involving reform, especially the era proposition of how to move from a Chinese-style human society to a Chinese-style rule of law society. The play also carries, explains and embodies well.

Some film critics say that if Gao Qiqiang is the representative of the human society, then Anxin is the code name of the rule of law society, and the conflict between the two protagonists is actually the collision between the rule of law society and the human society. The author believes it deeply. It is particularly obvious in Gao Qiqiang that things depend on relationships and go out and take care of things. Acting according to the law and rules is the norm that Anxin police officer believes in. In his dictionary, the law is above all else. When human feelings meet the law, where is the road? How to achieve the rule of law? The plot is thought-provoking.

After talking about the big ones, let’s talk about the small ones. Why do so many young people love this drama? Because "Hurricane" also reflects the workplace ecology to a certain extent.

As the director introduced, the protagonist An Xin, whose name means "peace of mind", is a pure idealist. He is sharp, high-spirited, straightforward and strong but lacks workplace wisdom, and he offends people by hitting walls everywhere. The police officer Li Xiang is An Xin’s partner, which means "ideal", but he is a true realist, and his caution is vividly displayed in him. The underworld boss Gao Qiqiang is a complete opportunist. He will seize all the resources and contacts he can access, and magnify them infinitely, constantly finding opportunities for himself.

While the characters in the "Hurricane" play are hurtling, idealism, realism and opportunism are also constantly "hurrying". Gao Qiqiang is well versed in the human society, and he will bite and escape when he has the opportunity to go ashore; An Xin has been run by the human society, but she sticks to her ideals but is smashed to pieces by reality, and finally loses her head overnight; Li Xiang, in order to avenge his master and take down the evil forces behind him, resolutely chooses to take risks. Knowing that he has no good ending, he still pushes himself step by step to the end of his life.

Gao Qiqiang’s insidious and vicious, unscrupulous means is a kind of human nature, a sinking human nature. An Xin’s calmness, tenacity, integrity and kindness are also a kind of human nature, a noble human nature. As someone said, only by understanding Gao Qiqiang’s control of worldly sophistication can we understand how difficult and valuable it is for An Xin to maintain her original intention. It is because of the selfless efforts and even sacrifices of "An Xin" one after another that this society is full of peace and tranquility, and we can live in peace.

"Hurricane" is still on the air, and many viewers should not lose themselves in the "hurricane addiction" and hurricane with the show. When facing good and evil, facing right and wrong, how should each of us choose? There is a saying on the Internet that says, "No matter what life is like, stay awake and stay kind."

1905 movie network feature 　With the go LIVE of "Little Joy", after three years, the "Tongyuan CP" composed of Haiqing and Huang Lei successfully swiped the screen again.

Douban scored 8.0, surpassing the 7.8 score of the previous "Little Separation", which is expected to once again set off a wave of national discussions on family relations and children’s education, and this wave of discussions may not be limited to domestic borders.

On June 7 last year, the sister installment of "Little Joy", "Little Separation", was broadcast on the prime channel of the Mongolian ASIAN BOX film and television channel, surpassing many Korean and American dramas to reach the top of the audience rating list. The educational topics reflected in the series not only hit the "pain points" of Chinese families, but also resonated with Mongolian audiences.

The upcoming word-of-mouth drama "Twelve Hours in Changan" has also successfully "gone overseas" to Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Vietnam and other countries, and has also been launched in North America in the form of "paid content" on online platforms such as Viki, Amazon, and Youtube. This is the first time that domestic dramas going overseas have entered the monthly subscription payment area and achieved quasi-simultaneous playback at home and abroad.

Now,"Chinese dramas go overseas" – the overseas distribution of high-quality domestic dramas has become the norm, not only with more diverse genres and themes, but also with expanding international influence.

From the "Journey to the West" of that year to the current "Twelve Hours in Chang’an", what new trends have been shown in "national dramas going to sea", and what new requirements have been put forward for creators and propagandists?

The types of subject matter are becoming increasingly diverse 　"National drama going to sea" has become the norm

The history of "Chinese dramas going to sea" has a long history. Early classic costume dramas such as "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Kangxi Dynasty" and "Huanzhu Gege" can be regarded as the first echelon.

The 86 version of "Journey to the West" was first popular in South East Asia countries such as Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand. It has a score of 8.8 on the foreign film review website IMDB, and is still discussed by overseas audiences. Historical dramas such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Kangxi Dynasty" have been very popular in Japan and have been rebroadcast on Japanese TV many times.

In 2010, "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law" was "exported" to Tanzania, causing a heated debate. Later, more than 40 domestic dramas such as "Struggle", "My Youth", "Beijing Youth" and "Durala’s Promotion" were also translated into local languages and broadcast in 46 countries including Kenya, Egypt and Zambia.The theme and genre of "Chinese drama going overseas" began to be not limited to costume dramas, and urban emotional dramas could also have a place.

In 2015, "Empresses in the Palace" officially landed on the international streaming platform Netflix, becoming the first domestic drama to be paid to be broadcast on the platform. It is considered a milestone event in the history of "national dramas going overseas".

In 2018, three high-reputation online dramas, including "White Night Chasing the Murderer", "River God" and "Undocumented Crime", went overseas one after another, creating a precedent for the export of domestic online dramas. The recent "Twelve Hours in Changan" has also achieved quasi-simultaneous broadcast on overseas platforms and domestic online platforms on the basis of "paid" broadcast.

In the early 1990s, the overseas marketing of domestic dramas was mostly concentrated in more than 10 countries and regions such as South East Asia, Japan and South Korea. Today, the export of domestic dramas has spread to more than 100 countries and regions.

According to Zhang Lina, editor-in-chief of Alibaba Entertainment Youku, Youku has sent more than 50 copyrighted content overseas in the past two years, and in the first half of 2019 alone, there were nearly 10. "Going overseas has become the norm."

It is not difficult to see from the above example thatDifferent countries and regions have different preferences for domestic drama genres and themes.

From 2013 began to test the waters of domestic drama overseas distribution, there are "Langya Bang", "choose heaven", "love" and other more than 500 episodes overseas distribution experience of Century Youyou company overseas distribution director Zhang Chunlan told Xiaodian Jun, in Japan, South Korea and South East Asia, costume drama, life drama affected by geographical factors, a high degree of acceptance; while in North America, suspense detective theme is very popular.

Century Youyou was responsible for the overseas distribution of "Love"

"Chinese kung fu and ancient martial arts have always been popular in overseas markets, but with the increasing number of Chinese dramas going overseas, the types are becoming more diverse, and some overseas audiences have also developed the habit of chasing Chinese dramas. Sweet pet love dramas and modern suspense dramas are also becoming more and more popular. The current upsurge in realistic themes in the drama market will also play a positive role in the development of overseas audiences," Zhang Chunlan said.

Balancing Chinese stories with global expression 　Reality themes will see an upsurge

The 30-year journey of Chinese opera going overseas has accumulated and cultivated a large number of overseas fans, and has also continued to expand the overseas influence of Chinese culture. However, in the midst of a boom, "Chinese opera going overseas" still faces some difficulties.

The main export markets of domestic film and television dramas are still concentrated in South East Asia and Chinese-speaking regions, and overseas Chinese are still one of the most important audience groups.

The price of a single episode exported from China is still relatively low, and the lead drama is only a few tens of thousands of dollars per episode. Producer Tang Lijun has revealed that in the Japanese market, the price of a single episode of an American drama may reach 1 million US dollars, a Korean drama may be 200,000 US dollars, and a Chinese drama may sell well for tens of thousands of dollars.

There are many reasons for these difficulties. First, "the current problems in overseas distribution are mainly caused by differences in language and culture." Zhang Chunlan analyzed.

Due to its geographical relationship and cultural proximity, Asia has a close relationship with Chinese culture, making it a natural main market. However, mainstream audiences in Europe, America and other regions are still relatively unfamiliar with Chinese culture, and their language and cultural barriers are relatively high.

In addition,The viewing habits of overseas audiences are also different from those of domestic Chinese audiences.Foreign audiences are more inclined to small-scale works of about 20 to 30 episodes per season, and China’s 70 to 80-episode volume and relatively slow narrative rhythm will inevitably appear "acclimatized" in the process of overseas distribution.

Take "Empresses in the Palace" as an example. When Netflix launched, not only did the length of the original 76 episodes be reduced to 6 episodes, each episode was 90 minutes. The lines lost their original charm after translation.

In the end, the word-of-mouth Chinese drama with a score of 9.1 on Douban only received a 2.5-star review on Netflix. The large number of classical Chinese lines in "Twelve Hours of Changan" also posed no small challenge to translation.

The reason why suspense dramas produced by online platforms such as "White Night Chasing" and "Crime Without a Certificate" are favored by Netflix is precisely because they refer to the shooting techniques and narrative rhythm of American dramas in the script, shooting and editing stages, and are relatively close to the viewing habits of overseas audiences.

In the comments of "Twelve Hours of Chang’an", "fast pace" and "large amount of information" have also become the keywords of many foreign audiences.

At this year’s Shanghai TV Festival "National Drama Going Overseas" related theme forum, Fu Binxing, president of Huace Film Company, said:Whether to use editors who understand local needs, accurate translation and localized promotion and marketing will all affect the quality of Chinese dramas "going global".

In addition to the above points,The quality of the series is still the core factor that affects the success of the overseas distribution of domestic dramas.Whether it is the early "Huanzhu Gege", "Journey to the West" or the recent "Langya List", "White Night Chasing", "Changan Twelve Hours" and other dramas, the success of "going to sea" is backed by excellent production standards.

The current hit "Twelve Hours in Changan" Douban scored as high as 8.6 points, and it also reached 9.5 points after the launch of the overseas video platform viki.

The series is quite elegant from the story, lines to the service of the Tao, focusing on the "Tang style ancient rhyme", and the shooting method and narrative rhythm are very international. The use of "long shots" is quite skilled, and the suspense action elements are also very suitable for overseas audiences. It has found a good balance between the level of industrial production and the dissemination of traditional Chinese culture.

Xie Ying, general manager of Youku Drama Center, the producer of "Twelve Hours in Changan", believes that the challenge for domestic dramas to really go global is to break the inertia of themes and stories."The most important thing for domestic dramas to really go global is to explore the diversity of themes, the youth of stories and the internationalization of audio-visual language."

In the past two years, the popularity of a number of TV dramas such as "All Good", "Ice Breaking Action" and "Little Joy" has set off a creative boom in realistic themes.How to enhance the international influence of China’s realistic film and television works, let foreign audiences touch the real contemporary China, and use common values to transcend national borders to resonate will also become a new trend of "national dramas going overseas".

No matter in terms of quantity or quality, domestic TV dramas have ushered in the golden period of "going to sea". "Twelve Hours in Changan" and "Little Joy" are just the beginning. I look forward to the future batch of high-quality domestic dramas with both "Chinese stories" and "world expressions" continuing to go abroad and send out China’s cultural voice to the world.

"When we are together, it is the life we yearn for." Huang Lei, He Jiong, Zhang Yixing, Peng Yuchang, and Zhang Zifeng gathered at the Mushroom House, and in the midst of laughter, "The Life We Yearn for" ushered in a reunion.

The parents couldn’t wait to take their children out to play, picking blueberries and picking wildflowers. Huang Lei said that he would not get out of the car to help pick wildflowers. Seeing the two children who were messing with tools and the wrong way, they still came forward with different hearts. Tonight, let’s see how the "Flower Picking Grandfather" helps the children pick flowers.

Zhang Yixing returned late at night, and in addition to the surprise calls from his family, he was also greeted by… a group of chickens who were known as "rarely come to the yard". The next morning, the chickens were walking in groups in the courtyard, and Zhang Yixing’s face was full of horror and disbelief: "Teacher He! Didn’t you say there were no chickens!" Can Zhang Yixing, who was "scared of chickens", bravely take the first step out of the bedroom?

After the meal, the popcorn machine "saw the light of day again". This time, everyone was different from the unfamiliarity of previous seasons. On the one hand, Huang Lei and He Jiong unhurriedly lit a fire, added firewood, and looked at the pressure gauge; on the other hand, Zhang Yixing, Peng Yuchang, and Zhang Zifeng handed the bench, fanning in an orderly manner, and the family assembly line was orderly. Finally, it was the thrilling time to open the lid. Under the attention of everyone, Peng Yuchang was excited and prepared to open the lid with trembling hands, once, twice… While shouting so scared, while holding back the neck of Peng Yuchang, could he "open the lid" smoothly? Anyway, everyone had covered their ears and hid away.

Do you still remember the bet Mr. He and Pumbaa made? – Whoever cried in the final parting lost, who couldn’t hold back first? How will everyone define farewell?

Fan Bingbing was strongly doubted

　　　　"Natural beauty is hard to give up, and it is always on the side of the king. Looking back and smiling at Bai Meisheng, Liugong Fendai has no color." Concubine Yang, one of China’s "four beautiful women", has always been a representative of plump beauty. Her story has also been filmed into film and television works countless times, including the recent TV series "Datang Furong Garden" on CCTV’s eight go LIVE sets. However, with the hit of the show, the role of Concubine Yang in the play by Fan Bingbing has attracted strong criticism from many viewers, and even evolved into a huge verbal attack on the Internet.

　　　　The netizens strongly questioned

　　　　Unlike some historical dramas, "Datang Furong Garden" only talks about love and not politics, and positions Yang Guifei as a "pure" woman. According to the director’s conception, Yang Guifei in the play should be "pure enough to make men’s hearts shake and women jealous." However, after the appearance of Yang Guifei played by Fan Bingbing, not only did she not charm the audience, but also attracted waves of strong doubts.

　　　　"By letting Fan Bingbing play Yang Yuhuan, in addition to making the audience feel despair, even the Chinese idiom is about to despair. How can I change the’Huanfei Yan Thin ‘? Looking at her thin face, how can there be any smell of Yang Guifei?" "Fan Bingbing doesn’t look like a favorite concubine in a prosperous age at all – graceful and natural charm; always looks like a small family jasper, no matter how you look at it, it looks like Yang Guifei’s maid." Many viewers also pointed out that in the famous "Neon Clothes Dance", Fan Bingbing actually used a lot of double shots, which seemed very fake. "When Fan Bingbing dances, he just swings his sleeves up, turns left and right, and has no charm."

　　　　Fan Bingbing is quite aggrieved

　　　　Faced with various criticisms from the audience, Fan Bingbing looked rather aggrieved: "Zang Jinsheng, who played An Lushan, said that he had studied relevant historical materials. The real Yang Yuhuan’s measurements are only a little bigger than mine, not so fat, and his height is shorter than mine, about 1.55 meters to 1.60 meters, so the thin version of Yang Guifei is not without basis." Fan Bingbing defended himself against the accusation of lack of temperament: "I am emotionally confident, and taking this play shows that I have confidence. I think everyone is too harsh on me, because the feelings in the play are very delicate, and the role positioning and history are inherently different."

　　　　As for the dance stuntman, Fan Bingbing explained: "The’Nishang Feather Dancing ‘is very famous, and I originally hoped to be able to complete it myself, but I didn’t learn dance after all. In the end, many scenes were shot by dance teachers as stuntmen, which is my biggest regret in filming the drama!"

　　　　Zhou Xiaowen was a little angry

　　　　The director Zhou Xiaowen looked a little angry in the face of the audience’s criticism: "Who said that Concubine Yang Guifei must be a fat woman? Who has seen it? Let him find me! Saying that Concubine Yang Guifei is fat is the imagination of literati. When I shoot Yang Yuhuan, I want to show the image of a’pure ‘woman. It doesn’t matter if she is fat or thin." (Fan Dongbo)

The 73rd Cannes Film Festival was originally scheduled to be held from May 12 to 23

1905 movie network feature "We have a tradition that Cannes is the first sign of summer."The artistic director of the Cannes International Film Festival, Fermat, recently expressed the hope that the epidemic will end as soon as possible in mid-May, and the festival will be held as scheduled from May 12 to May 23. But judging from the current situation, such an idea is too optimistic.

In addition to Cannes, several recent film festivals originally scheduled to be held in March, April and May have been postponed or cancelled,Including the French Real Film Festival, the South by Southwest Film Festival, the Tribeca Film Festival, and the Miami Film Festival.So far, the official statement of the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee is:The cancellation or postponement will not be announced until at least April 15, the eve of the announcement of the entry list.

Why is Cannes still "struggling"?

It was first rumored to be because of the insurance premium. If cancelled, a French insurance company could compensate 2 million euros, but the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival has refused. However, this year’s festival’s operating budget is 32 million euros, which is not a big deal for Cannes.The president of the festival, Pierre Lescule, also said that even if it is cancelled, it will have little impact on the financial operation of the festival itself, because the festival has certain reserves and fund support.

The main reason is still to go back to the movie itself.

As one of the largest international film festivals in the world, there are not only red carpets and starlight, but also hundreds of new films from all over the world participate in competitions and screenings every year, especially for art films, where you can enjoy large-scale international exposure and discussion.

Last year, for example, Diao Yinan’s directorship and Hu Ge’s starring role were shortlisted for the main competition, and the new director’s work also received praise in the parallel section. With the help of the Cannes platform, these new Chinese-language films first earn enough popularity overseas, which is also good for the promotion of their release in China.

At the same time, thousands of films are also traded in the Cannes Film Market for international sales of copyrights and distribution every year.For example, Jia Zhangke’s works in 2015, which were shortlisted for the main competition unit in Cannes that year, cost about 40 million yuan, and the cost has been recovered through overseas copyright sales on platforms such as the Cannes market on the eve of domestic release.

2019 Cannes Film Palace

The entire Cannes Film Festival team is still working on contingency measures, such as limiting the number of spectators in cinemas and other venues. But the French government has announced a law-wide ban on gatherings of more than 100 people.According to statistics, the Cannes Film Festival attracted about 60,000 participants every day last year. If the ban continues until May, how can the festival scale down the event to meet the standards? Then how many people are willing to take the risk to participate in the event?

If cancellations are confirmed, a number of international studios and agencies have also agreed to jointly create an online marketplace in early May, including promoting new films to buyers, showing flowers or samples, etc. However, such remedial measures will still affect market transactions.

The Cannes International Film Festival has been cancelled three times since its first edition in 1946.It was suspended in 1948 and 1950 due to financial difficulties, and in 1968 due to the impact of the "May storm", when Truffaut, Godard and other French New Wave directors jointly blocked the screening of the film, and the festival was forced to suspend.

Directors such as Truffaut and Godard block Cannes film screening

Half a century later, the number of new films produced has increased sharply year by year. If it is cancelled this year, it will be difficult for many films originally scheduled to appear in Cannes to compete with other new films and squeeze into subsequent film festivals, such as the Venice and Toronto film festivals. If it is postponed, it will be difficult for Cannes to find a suitable time to resume.

So the question of what to do now is to point the debut stage to Cannes or other major films at festivals that have been postponed or cancelled.

Chinese Discourse

First of all, from the perspective of Chinese films, there are three major directors’ new works poised for release:Xu Anhua’s, Tian Zhuangzhuang’s and Zhang Yimou’s.

Adapted from a classic novel by Zhang Ailing and starring Ma Sichun and Peng Yuyan, "First Incense" has attracted much attention in the industry. The film was completed in mainland scenes at the end of July last year, and its first stills were also exposed at the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year.

Xu Anhua’s work has never been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, but judging from her past experience in other film festivals,"First Incense" is more likely to go to the Venice Film Festival.

Tian Zhuangzhuang’s "Birdsong" was completed in January this year. This is his new work after a decade of absence from directing. In addition, the film is adapted from Acheng’s novel "King of Trees", and the other two "Three Kings" novels have been adapted into movies, so the outside world has high expectations for this film.

Last year, Tian Zhuangzhuang brought his old 1988 film to the Cannes Classic Restoration Unit, and Fu Mao personally presided over the pre-screening activities. According to this friendship,If the quality of "Birdsong" is reliable, the Cannes Film Festival will not be cancelled, and it is very likely to be selected for a certain section.

The last time Zhang Yimou went to Cannes was in 2014 with his participation in the screening. "Solid as a Rock" has been in the confidential stage, and it is still unknown whether it has been delivered to the film festival. His next new work was still filmed in the Northeast Snow Township at the end of December last year, and there is no news on whether it was stopped by the epidemic.

The film "Nara Again" about an old Chinese woman looking for a Japanese orphan and adopted daughter is produced by two directors, Jia Zhangke and Kawase Naomi. As old friends of Cannes "direct", it is not unreasonable for them to support the new director Peng Fei to enter Cannes.

In addition to these new Chinese films, Wong Kar-wai’s classic this year coincides with the 20th anniversary of its release. The film had its world premiere in the main competition section of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, and Tony Leung also won the Best Actor Award.

Overseas

For overseas films, several blockbuster new titles from Asia, Europe, and the United States have long been locked into the main competition at Cannes.

Wes Anderson’s is similar to last year’s, but the stars will be brighter,With Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Francis McDormand, Leia Seydoux, Sweet Tea, Saoirse Ronan and dozens of other internationally renowned actors co-starring, no film could be more suitable for the opening of the Cannes Film Festival.

If the Cannes Film Festival is cancelled, what other new films will we miss?

I only hope that the epidemic can pass as soon as possible, as Fu Mao wished: "This year’s Cannes Film Festival will be the first international event to celebrate life, praise life, and regenerate."I also hope that all future film festivals can be held smoothly and continue to showcase more outstanding films to us.

On Jan. 23, the second day of the new year, Deng Chao had a dream. He dreamed of Xin Xiaofeng. It was his character in the suspense film "Burning Sun," a character who was extremely restrained because he was on the run for a homicide. That year, Deng Chao, Duan Yihong and Guo Tao won the China Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor. Until now, his performance in that film is still regarded by outside audiences as the peak of his acting skills.

When Deng Chao dreamed, he felt like he was in the movie again. He said he "couldn’t breathe." He remembered going to the sea to complete a shot. He felt uneasy and confused.

"Adventure"

On the third day of the new year, "Chinese Ping Pong: The Jedi Strike Back" directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei was released. But soon, less than two days after meeting the audience, the film was announced to be withdrawn, adjusted to a small-scale screening from the fifth day of the new year, and postponed to the official release on February 17.

Regarding the reason for the withdrawal, the producer said that due to the major mistakes and serious deficiencies in the decision-making, preparation and promotion of the publicity and distribution team, the film fell into a particularly passive situation during the Spring Festival.

As a newcomer to the transformation of a well-known actor and director, he and his partner Yu Baimei once caused "group ridicule" and became the representative of bad movies. Deng Chao understands the voices of the outside world. In recent exchanges with the media about "China Ping Pong: The Jedi Strikes Back", one of his recurring phrases was, "Is there an elephant in the room to pretend not to see?" In Deng Chao’s words, the theme of the film is not success, but "failure", which is for those who are not optimistic.

After missing the Spring Festival, a family-friendly stew, people’s nerves were slightly loosened, and they wound up again to welcome the reality of the new year. Deng Chao told the story of national table tennis falling into the Jedi, and he had to face the situation of the current atmosphere retreating.

In the film and television industry, there are not a few people who act well and guide well. From the current public information, there is still a very definite answer as to why Deng Chao became a director and why he chose such a recognized and unconventional theme as competitive sports.

He said he was an adventurous person.

The Chinese women’s volleyball team, formerly directed by Chen Kexin, was changed to "Winning the Championship". According to Chen’s self-report, the filming of the women’s volleyball team was the most difficult film he had ever made. Deng Chao focused on the national ping, and in addition to the conceivable value narrative, the official statement also implied the personal experience of the main creator. Yu Baimei said, "When the national players played the game, they completed it under what difficult circumstances. Let’s see how they went on. If they can go on, we must also persevere." From the father-son "Galaxy Tutoring School" to today’s Chinese ping pong, Deng Chao’s story transmission method has not changed much, as Yu Baimei said above.

Deng Chao’s dream of directing still has a long way to go.

This time, "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Counterattack" is aimed at the 1995 Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships. Dai Minjia, who was modeled after Cai Zhenhua, the national table tennis leader at that time, led the decision to return from abroad, linking up coaches, players and the process of social evolution.

It was indeed a pivotal battle in the history of national table tennis. Before that, the men’s team of the national team had suffered consecutive losses at the World Table Tennis Championships held every two years from 1989 to 1993. At the 1991 World Championships in Chiba, Japan, the men’s team ranked seventh, the worst season in history. The men’s team championship medal won by the national table tennis 18 years ago was a turning point for the national table tennis team and marked the arrival of a new era.

The question is how to present it?

For such a film that audiences can roughly think of the story and ending direction when they hear the title, the director Deng Chao puts it more from the perspective of the head coach. The description used in the film for the personnel dilemma facing the national ping as a whole at that time is: "Injured, blind, small, old". As for the individual "arc light", including the prototype Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui and other national ping five tigers, and even Deng Chao’s coach Dai Minjia’s prototype Cai Zhenhua, it is still a rare item.

Bite the score

Under the narrative of the country and the grand goal of winning gold, the film gradually moved towards the road of "blood counterattack". Behind the victory, the film gave a high-flying summary answer at the end: "The Chinese are the most diligent people in the world".

During the intense promotion period, Deng Chao emphasized the training process of himself and other actors. To restore his technique, he practiced playing with his left hand. From the accounts of him and Yu Baimei, "burning", "winning" and "competition" are high-frequency words.

In addition to people, Deng Chao’s focus is still on "technology".

To this end, the main creative team spent a lot of effort. This is slightly different from the director Chen Kexin. Chen Kexin has selected a lot of real people who have no acting experience to appear on the scene, including Lang Ping’s daughter playing the young Lang Ping when he was an athlete, and active athletes Zhu Ting and Hui Ruoqi playing themselves. The middle-aged coach Lang Ping is played by Gong Li.

Chen Kexin said that after a period of time, he found that "it is easier to train players to act than to train actors to play." That is muscle memory and the daily life of players. In the film, Lang Ping has a line that it is not important to win, but to bite the score.

Competitive sports is a subject rarely covered in domestic movies. It has natural obstacles, including the resulting market difficulties.

No matter Chen Kexin or Deng Chao, it is predictable that it is difficult to penetrate into the more specific and complex environment behind the athletes and coaches. This is probably one of the reasons why Chen Kexin focuses on the iron hammer with great personality and the cultural drama behind the event.

As for the industry situation, Cao Baoping, the director of "Burning Sun", made a metaphor: "If you give them another 50 years of Chinese football, it can’t be good. It can’t be good because you don’t have it. Your whole mechanism and system don’t say that it starts with children, and then cultivates every seedling, and then let him know what the technology of football and the magic of football are."

"A movie doesn’t have to be a parody show. No matter how much you learn from a person, if you don’t have that aura, you will always be a parody show." Chen Kexin also failed to escape the value narrative, and the emotional drama is too divided into similar films. However, when it comes to presenting domestic competitive sports itself and its problems, Chen Kexin has gone a step further, or for some conceivable reasons, it has appeared a little more.

short board

In a recent interview with The Beijing News, Deng Chao admitted to his lack of ability as a director. He said that he and Yu Baimei once made a very failed movie, and they couldn’t sleep for many days, often with a face that was as gray as death.

But he also says he needs to face up to his shortcomings. "If you don’t play well, practice your playing style; if the racket glue doesn’t work, do the glue; if the tactics are not good, practice the tactics." He just doesn’t know if he knows where the shortcomings are.

In 2013, after the contract between Deng Chao and Huayi expired, he partnered with Enlight Media to establish "Orange Image", served as the chairman of the board, and began investing in movies. His first film was "The Breakup Master," released in 2014, starring Deng Chao and starring Yang Mi, who was popular at the time. The list of supporting actors is also extensive, including Liu Yan, Gulinazar, Wu Jing, Xie Nan, Jinxing and Han Han. In 2015, another masterpiece, "Villain Angel," by him and Yu Baimei, was launched.

During that time, Deng Chao once felt that he had glimpsed the code of comedy. "Breakup Master" grossed 660 million yuan at the box office, and "Villain Angel" was nearly 500 million. Feng Xiaogang’s "Old Cannon" starring in the same period was less than half that. "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" scored 5.1 and 4.4 on Douban, respectively.

In 2016, Stephen Chow’s "Mermaid" went live, and Deng Chao was the male lead. The film broke the box office 1 billion in four days, with a total box office of about 3.40 billion yuan. According to Deng later, Chow said he would be "the king of comedy in the future." Since then, Deng Chao began to reflect on his understanding of comedy. He decided to change direction.

"Galaxy Tutoring School," which deals with Chinese education, was released in 2019, and the box office is still good, surpassing 800 million in a week. On Douban, the film has a rating of 6.2.

The box office was high, and the reputation slipped. Accompanied by this, Deng Chao became a variety bar in the "Running Man" program for several years.

In terms of popularity alone, Deng Chao is not inferior to other actors. He also has no shortage of industry resources. Deng Chao has a share of "China Partner" directed by Chen Kexin and "Shadow" directed by Zhang Yimou. The screenwriter Liu Heng recommended Deng Chao as the second male in the first film "Assembly Number", which Feng Xiaogang’s transformation breakthrough. Deng Chao and Liu Heng are old acquaintances. The "Young Son of Heaven" written by Liu Heng was released in 2003. Deng Chao starred in Shunzhi, and he also rose to fame and became an "emperor professional". Deng Chao was 23 when he made that film. After that, Deng Chao starred in a series of TV series and met Sun Li in "Happiness is Like a Flower". Both the director and the screenwriter praised Deng Chao’s talent. He later turned into a director and was blocked, and once again proved his acting skills with "Burning Heart in the Sun".

What is the difference between the early actor Deng Chao and the director Deng Chao?

Coach and director

In the national table tennis film directed this time, he starred as a coach.

In "Winning the Championship", Chen Kexin gave Lang Ping, played by Gong Li, many close-ups, such as eyes and glasses, a rotating pen in his hand, and a notebook sitting in the stands to draw battle charts. Calm, but powerful. No roars.

So far, more than a decade later, Deng Chao’s past roles still show a stable consistency. In addition to the funny comedy he longs for, every time he combs his back, it feels like he has returned to the "Chinese Partner" of the past.

As a high-profile actor, Deng Chao has been seeking breakthroughs in recent years, switching between different tracks. From "Young Son of Heaven" to "Burning Heart of the Sun" and later "Shadow", which has a depressing atmosphere like black and white ink splashing, Deng Chao plays an inwardly anxious, confused and hesitant character. His feelings, understanding and emotional communication are the best among actors.

Cao Baoping, a representative of the sixth generation of domestic directors, met Deng Chao as early as when he was filming "Li Mi’s Conjecture." He once told Deng Chao, "Chao, 95% of you are very good, but only 5% still has a red carpet smell." Deng Chao interpreted this sentence as, "He doesn’t want you to have your own thing in the play, to become the character itself." Cao Baoping shared his views on directors with the media, saying that the director’s foundation is thinking about life, more analysis, and then requirements and judgments, and then narrative.

In recent years, Deng Chao has been a frustrated director. His wife, Sun Li, recently interviewed the media, saying that Deng Chao looks carefree, but he actually has a lot of scruples and cares about the emotions and opinions around him. But she feels that he is also changing.

This time, the star Deng Chao, who has always been at the forefront of the topic trend, will become a good director in the audience’s mouth?

The audience had expectations, and so did Deng Chao.

??　　 Tonight (January 21), the 2023 CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Rabbit arrived as scheduled. The program on the stage was wonderful, and the talented netizens also discovered many interesting highlights and warm and touching moments during the Spring Festival Gala. Here are eight highlights to share with you.

??Behind-the-scene 1: Yang Zi and Wu Lei are wearing "wrong" clothes? netizens teased: Why didn’t the notification be in place!

??The 2023 CCTV Year of the Rabbit Spring Festival Gala opened with Yang Zi, Zhao Liying, Song Zuer, Wan Qian, Bai Yu and other artists singing "Flowers Bloom and Planter".

??Some netizens noticed that during the opening performance, most of the artists on stage wore red clothes, and Yang Zi’s blue dress looked very "abrupt". Coincidentally, when Wu Lei performed the show later, netizens also found that the other three artists in the same group as him were wearing leather tops, only Wu Lei was different from everyone else.

??In this regard, netizens teased: "What? Why didn’t you inform Yang Zi and Wu Lei to wear the same clothes? Are these two classmates disconnected from the Internet?"

??Behind-the-scene 2: Spring Festival Gala clothing has attracted heated discussions, Yue Yunpeng Weibo responded: It doesn’t matter if we complain

??In the 2023 CCTV Year of the Rabbit Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala regulars Yue Yunpeng and Sun Yue brought the crosstalk performance "My Change, Change, Change". Unexpectedly, their costumes first caused a wave of heated discussions and were ridiculed like a double-door refrigerator.

??After the performance, Yue Yunpeng, who got his mobile phone, also noticed the discussion among the netizens, and personally sent a Weibo response to the ridicule: "It’s Chinese New Year, everyone is happy, it’s okay to complain to us, it’s okay to say that our clothes are double-door refrigerators, it’s a bit hahahahahaha!" It seems that the imagination of the netizens has also successfully amused Xiao Yue Yue!

??Behind- the-scene 3: Did you come for dinner? Netizen ridicule: Zhang Ruoyun can eat too much, right?

??It was also during the interactive session of "My Change, Change, Change" that Zhang Ruoyun and others shared the roast chicken that Yue Yunpeng "changed" to eat. The other artists ate very "reserved", and when the camera turned to Zhang Ruoyun, he could not smile when he got the chicken, and then he took a large piece of chicken and ate it very fragrant.

??No wonder some netizens ridiculed Zhang Ruoyun for contributing the first joke of this year’s Spring Festival Gala: "Others are here to participate in the show, but Zhang Ruoyun is really here to eat!"

??Behind- the-scene 4: Deng Chao cuts wide angles as soon as he runs? Sun Li smiled and said: The director of the Spring Festival Gala has experience

??The first Weibo "detonation" hot search for the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Rabbit was brought by the artist Deng Chao. The reason turned out to be that netizens thought he was simply too funny!

??Last year, Deng Chao appeared on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time. During the chorus program, he was too excited and acted too lively, which caused a heated discussion among netizens. Even his wife Sun Li posted a Weibo joke after watching the program: "It’s almost out of the camera"!

??When the audience learned that there was still Deng Chao in this year’s Spring Festival Gala, they once teased, wondering if Brother Chao would still be excited this year? And it turned out that our Brother Chao did not forget his original intention as always, and his excitement was still the happiest person in the Spring Festival Gala!

??His wife, Sun Li, also stayed in front of the TV early to pay attention to Deng Chao’s performance. After watching her husband’s performance, Sun Li also specially sent a Weibo laugh: "This year, the director has experience. As soon as Brother Chao runs, hurry up and cut the wide angle!"

??Behind-the-scene 5: The Spring Festival Gala reappears God is misplaced! Sabine changes to "Nina Belle" in seconds

??After becoming "Mickey Mouse" on the stage of the gala a few years ago due to stage dislocation, this year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala host Sabine performed a god dislocation with a group of cute "little rabbits". From the opening host’s camera, Sabine seemed to have grown two rabbit ears. It is not only like wearing plush jewelry to "act cute", but also bumped into the shape of Lingna Belle, who has been on fire in recent years. No wonder netizens shouted: "Ning Na Belle is here!"

??Behind-the-scene 6: The witty response is praised, and Sabine is the first person to self-" anti-black "

??In addition, the highlights were still brought by Sabine. In the middle of the Spring Festival Gala, during a series of interactions, Sabine immediately responded to the hot discussion about himself "wearing high heels" and "wearing rabbit ears to act cute".

??In tonight’s Spring Festival Gala host, Sabine was first mistaken by netizens for "acting cute" wearing rabbit ears because of the wrong angle with the "little rabbit" behind him. Later, netizens found that his height was not dominant. He was wearing a pair of leather shoes with a high heel to host the program, and the topic of "how high is Sabine’s heel" was ridiculed and discussed by netizens.

??In the live broadcast session that followed, Sabine responded tactfully and interacted with the rabbit mascot funnily: "The netizens all said that I wear high heels, but you still think I’m short?" Then, he took the initiative to put on a real rabbit ear hood and responded to the hot search "God Dislocation".

??Behind-the-scene 7: Got caught by the door? Zhou Shen: "Take bamboo shoots"?

??In the Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Rabbit, singer Zhou Shen dedicated the affectionate song "Flowers Bloom and Forget Worries".

??After Zhou Shen’s performance, some netizens said that they saw someone say that Zhou Shen was caught by the door on the stage at Moments. The reason was that when Zhou Shen sang, the lyrics and subtitles appeared around Zhou Shen, and the word "door" happened to be stuck on Zhou Shen’s head, as if it was "caught" by the door. After making such a joke, some netizens laughed and said: "It’s not easy for Zhou Shen to play bamboo shoots!"

??Behind-the-scene 8: Wang Zhuangliang brought his brothers to the Spring Festival Gala? Re-employment boy group: Received the "password"

??Singer Wang Zhuangliang sang the song "I’ve Been Drinking With the Past" with Su Youpeng, Wang Sulong, and Jiang Yuheng. At the end of the song, some careful netizens noticed that he deliberately compared the "six" gesture, which seemed to refer to bringing the "Re-Employment Boys Group" brothers to the Spring Festival Gala together.

??Last year, Wang Zhuangliang and Chen Chusheng, Xingxing, Zhang Yuan, Lu Hu, and Wang Yixin became popular with their interesting and emotional variety shows, and they also had a limited group name: Reemployment Men’s Group.

??Over the past year, the re-employment men’s group has joined forces to "re-employment" on multiple stages, and has also brought many wonderful presentations to the audience. Before, several brothers had expressed their hope to appear on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, but in the end this year, only Wang Jieliang participated in the whole process. Although the other five people failed to appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, some careful netizens found that after Wang Jieliang finished performing the song, he deliberately raised his hand and raised a "six" gesture, which always refers to the "re-employment men’s group" brothers. Users said: "I’m touched! Brother Liang is bringing his five brothers to the Spring Festival Gala!"

??After the show ended, Lu Hu, Wang Yixin, and Zhang Yuan sent Weibo to support Wang Zhuang Liang, and Lu Hu called out more directly: "Have you received the password gesture that Brother Liang gave us?" Then he added a "tears running" expression, looking very moved. (xlzy/text)

Recently, the new standard version officially listed, the new car launched two configuration models, priced 249,800 – 269,800 yuan. Under the premise of price reduction, the configuration has increased or decreased, and the overall cost performance has improved. However, the new M5 may not have reached the level of explosion, and it is still difficult to twist the overall decline of the brand.

According to the data of the Passenger Federation, the sales volume of new energy vehicles reached 3.747 million in the first half of this year, an increase of 44.1% year-on-year. Under the background of the high growth rate of the new energy vehicle market, the Q-world M5 lagged behind the market. Taking the Q-world M5, which sells the main model, as an example, the cumulative sales volume in the first half of this year was only 17,067, a year-on-year decrease of 15.5%.

Recently, we visited several Huawei stores and learned that the 2022 Q M5 now has a discount of up to 55,000 yuan. However, the price reduction can not be exchanged for sales. We believe that the reason for this situation is the decline of Q products, as well as the emergence of competing products, Q failed to respond quickly and other factors.

The price of the new model is reduced, and the discount of the old model is even stronger.

As the market penetration rate gradually increases, the elimination competition of new energy vehicles is accelerating. Ideal monthly delivery is leading steadily, NIO delivery is rebounding, Xiaopeng G6 is expected to play a "turnaround", while Zero Run, Nezha and Extreme Krypton perform well. At the same time, new energy users are also undergoing a fundamental transformation, from early adopters to the general public. Who can break through and survive? The "key to victory" still lies in differentiated products and excellent technology.

As a user of new energy vehicles for 6 years, and a small editor of the owner at the same time, I personally have always believed that 1.86 million new owners of BYD last year could not have purchased BYD for BYD’s intelligence, because BYD’s intelligence has always been very bad, and the real reason for driving consumers to buy is excellent new energy technology. Many brands are also aware of this key point and spare no effort to publicize their own new energy technology platforms.

With the help of Huawei’s halo, Ask the World has been a highlight. Although everyone only knows Huawei but not Cyrus, Ask the World M5 is still Cyrus in the end, and Cyrus is still a concubine in the end. If you want resources, you don’t have resources, and if you want technology, you don’t have technology. Dongfeng has new energy technology, but it’s not the turn to ask the world, and the direct descendants of Lan Tu and Fengshen will be given priority to "enjoy". If it wasn’t for Huawei’s blessing, maybe Cyrus would run faster than Weimaraner, and Skyrim.

Since he couldn’t get the technical support from the "big factory", Cyrus couldn’t figure it out himself, so he could only use the ready-made solution of his partners. The new energy technology of the M5 was also from Huawei, using the HUAWEI DriveONE pure electric drive platform. At the same time as the price of the new M5 was reduced, the battery life of the new car under WLTC conditions was increased from 150km to 200km, but the number of cameras was reduced, and some configurations were also castrated.

The new Q Jie M5 standard version is officially listed, and the old model discount is quite awesome. It is understood that the 2022 Q Jie M5 cash discount is 35,000 yuan, and there is a small amount of stable 20,000 government subsidies, and the comprehensive discount for the new car reaches 55,000 yuan. Take the lowest 2022 extended range rear drive standard version as an example, the guide price is 259,800 yuan, and the discount is more than 200,000 yuan, which is 45,000 yuan cheaper than the new model.

The market competition is intensifying, and the core selling points are not outstanding

Is it cost-effective to buy a 200,000 budget to ask the world M5? The BYD frigate 07 of the same level, the starting threshold is set at 202,800; the "table-lifting" zero-run C11 extended range version, 149,800; quite the bold dark blue S7, the extended range version starts at 149,900 yuan, and the top match is also 169,900 yuan. The guide price is 80,000 – 100,000 yuan cheaper than the asking world M5. The question is, can the product power of the asking world M5 support this price difference?

Hardware specifications such as the chassis of the front double fork arms and the rear five links, the 150km WLTC pure electric battery life, and various indicators on the books, there is no shortage of competing products. In all fairness, the smart car machine of the M5 is indeed easy to use, showing the fineness, the fluency of use, the response speed of human-machine interaction, and the degree of intelligence are almost impeccable. But are these so-called "smart" worth buying for nearly 100,000 yuan?

Ask the world M5 positioning medium-sized SUV, but the body size is compact. Among the compact hybrid SUV, there are many products that are not compact, such as BYD, which leads the entire new energy market. The DM-i version starts at 154,800 yuan, and the long-life version is also 179,800 yuan. Under the premise of similar battery life, it is 70,000 yuan cheaper than the Ask World M5. Moreover, whether it is word-of-mouth or second-hand value preservation, the Song Plus DM-i must be stable.

At the same time, the traditional fuel vehicle brand officially started the transformation, the launch of the E series and series, and the release of the D family. For example, the power and fuel consumption, comfort and intelligence are fully balanced, and the top match is only 173,700 yuan. Of course, the pure electric endurance is still a little bit worse. Also, to accelerate the landing of intelligent new energy layout, performance and price are worth looking forward to.

Write at the end

Compared with new power brands, Wenjie’s service and intelligence are not outstanding. Compared with the new energy brands of traditional car companies, Wenjie’s core technology is not leading either. Whether it is its own product competitiveness or the market environment, in terms of the current sales performance of Wenjie, it is indeed facing greater growth pressure. The arrival of the new Wenjie M5 standard version may be able to inject new vitality into the rising sales of Wenjie. It can also be seen that Wenjie has realized the problem, but the strength and courage to reverse the decline are still lacking.

The healing sandbox building game "Tiny Glade" created by Pounce Light launched the latest demo at the recent Steam New Festival, and the game was loved by many players.

Pounce Light recently updated the latest news on the Steam homepage, and the number of wish lists added to the game has reached 1 million, far exceeding the developers’ expectations.

Pounce Light mentioned in the update that it was originally expected that "Small World in the Woods" would become a niche indie game, but they were surprised by the attention and love of many players. Therefore, the developers decided to extend the demo of the new festival by one week until June 23, so that players who missed it would have the opportunity to experience the game.

"Small World in the Woods" is a casual, healing castle-building game. There are no grid restrictions, and players can explore the interaction of building materials to the fullest, and see what kind of world the game can build with bricks, stones, and planks. No management, no combat, no right or wrong. Leisurely, you can turn forgotten meadows into lovely miniature landscapes.
