If this year’s Cannes Film Festival is cancelled, what will happen to these films?

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.


Director Tian Zhuangzhuang


"Solid as a Rock" has been submitted for review after the National Day last year, but there has been no release news."Solid as a Rock" is Zhang Yimou’s first attempt to shoot a police and bandit action movie. According to the director himself, the film’s screen is very unique and has the cold style of a modern city.


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.


Mai Junlong directs the works that are currently the most highly anticipated in the industry and are headed for Cannes or other international film festivals.The starring lineup is super luxurious, and it gathers powerful actors such as Takeshi Kancheng, Liang Jiahui, Liu Qingyun, Koo Tianle, and Gao Yuanyuan. It was cut at the end of July last year, and it is said that the amount of post productin is very large.


Director Zhang Ming was shortlisted for the 2018 Cannes Film Festival Director’s Fortnight, his new love suspense film"Hot Soup."Then it appeared in the trading market of the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year, and it should continue to move towards other international film festivals.


Mei Feng won the best screenplay in the main competition at Cannes, directing a new work"Love Song 1980"Starring Li Xian and Chunxia, some samples were completed last year, with a strong literary temperament and the opportunity to participate in Cannes. And the new director works starring Wan Qian and Huang Jue"Rabbit Violence"It is also expected by the industry. Will it be the next "Spring River Plumbing" to go international?


Sino-Japanese co-filming and also want to find its audience through Cannes or other international film festivals."Yanagawa" was completed at the end of January this year, starring Ni Ni, Zhang Luyi, Xin Baiqing, Ikimatsu Zhuangliang, Nakano Yoshiko, etc. Director Zhang Lu is a regular at major film festivals.

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.


Cannes officials previously announced that the 4K restored version of "In the Mood for Love" will be unveiled in the classic restoration unit, and Wong Kar-wai will also attend the screening.If the Cannes Film Festival is cancelled, the 4K restoration of "In the Mood for Love" will have to find the next premiere platform.


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.


"Mission to France" stills


French director Leo Carrax’s previous film was recently selected as one of the 10 best films of the 2010s by the Cinema Handbook.His new film, Annette, is a musical and his first English film.Starring Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, it is arguably the most watched film of the year and the top choice at Cannes.

Thai director Apichatpong won the Palme d’Or a decade ago, and this year is the latest collaboration with Tilda Swinton"Memory."The film is currently in its later stages, and Jia Zhangke’s film company has also participated in the production of this film.

In addition, the Palme d’Or director Nanni Moletti’s "Three Floors" and Lauren Guntai’s "Arthur Rambo" were also selected for the main competition.


Cannes "familiar faces" Naomi Kawase’s "Dawn is Coming", Dumont’s "It’s Half Clear This Morning", Ojung’s "85 Midsummer", Sophia Coppola’s "On the Rocks" and Paul Van Hoeven’s "Our Lady" are also pointing at Cannes.

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.


From the national male god to the disappearance, why did Peng Yuyan suddenly stop being popular?

Some time ago, Taiwanese netizens came across Peng Yuyan walking his dog at the Tianmu House in Taipei.

He was wearing a black cap, a black T-shirt and slacks.

It looks very low-key, without a bit of celebrity style, and you can’t recognize it if you don’t look carefully.

The name "Peng Yuyan" has not been mentioned for a long time.

It seems that since a few years ago, he has suddenly disappeared and rarely appeared on the screen.

In recent years, he has not produced any new works, and he has hardly been seen on major red carpets or events.

That lazy and casual look is like retiring early.

You know, the former Peng Yuyan was a popular "national male god".

And now that he is only 41 years old, he has disappeared, and there is almost no such person.

So, from the national male god to his disappearance, why did Peng Yuyan suddenly stop being popular?

Reason 1: Offend Li Bingbing

There have been rumors in the circle that Peng Yuyan was banned because he offended Li Bingbing.

Regarding the "grudge" between the two, it has to start with an event in 2018.

In 2018, the stars gathered on Weibo night, including Li Bingbing and Peng Yuyan.

At that time, Peng Yuyan was a popular student in Taiwan, but he was still a long way from the first line.

And Li Bingbing is the "first sister", which is highly praised by capital, and the resources have always been very good, and she is a good front line.

When attending an event, arranging seats and seating according to the coffee spot is a well-known "unwritten rule" in the circle.

The higher the popularity, the stronger the capital behind it, and the higher the position.

The larger the coffee position, the higher the status, and the closer it is to the C position.

On Weibo night, Li Bingbing’s original position was arranged in the first row.

Peng Yuyan’s seat was in the second row.

As a result, Li Bingbing’s position was changed to the second row, while Peng Yuyan sat in the first row.

After being replaced by the nameplate to seize the seat, Li Bingbing was so angry that she did not take a seat and kept standing backstage.

Even when Li Bingbing was on stage to receive the award, she was also brought up from the backstage.

Although there was a smile on his face after winning the award, he could still detect the displeasure of being robbed of the seat.

As the "seat grab" fermented, many people complained about Peng Yuyan.

In particular, Li Bingbing’s fans feel that their idol has been wronged.

Li Bingbing’s support will be even more insinuating, directly dissing Peng Yuyan with words.

As public opinion intensified, Peng Yuyan’s studio issued a statement:

On the day of the event, the artists attended the event with the crew. They were unaware that the seats at the event site were temporarily adjusted and cooperated with the arrangement to be seated. After learning about the incident, the artists themselves and the team immediately apologized to the seniors and the team who designed it, and thanked the seniors for their generosity and the team’s trust and understanding.

Although Peng Yuyan’s studio issued an apology and threw the pot to the event organizers.

In addition, he also paid attention to Li Bingbing, wanting to gain understanding and peace of mind.

However, Li Bingbing’s fans did not buy it. They were full of anger and opened the crazy mode as always.

However, Li Bingbing was more magnanimous, not only returning to Peng Yuyan, but also not mentioning the matter again.

Since the parties didn’t say anything, the fans on both sides naturally stopped a lot.

When he thought things would come to an end, Peng Yuyan took a downhill path, and his resources were not as good as before.

Later, he was at the edge of the entertainment industry, and suddenly the "light circle" was no longer popular.

For a moment, all kinds of guesses arose.

The most common theory is that Li Bingbing forgave Peng Yuyan on the surface, but she was still very angry inside.

Therefore, as the first sister, she relied on her extensive network and used the power of capital to ban him.

Could it be that Peng Yuyan’s "disappearance" was really just because he offended Li Bingbing?

In fact, this is not the case. In addition to this reason, there are multiple factors.

Reason 2: The acting is not good, but there are a lot of scandals

Sometimes, in the face of absolute strength, capital will also consider making concessions for you.

If Peng Yuyan’s acting skills were outstanding and his strength was strong, he would not be abandoned by capital so quickly.

Obviously, his acting skills have always been controversial, and no excellent acting skills or works can win over audiences.

Even if the acting is not good, there are still a lot of scandals.

His private life is much more exciting than his work, attracting a lot of attention by hype.

Peng Yuyan said that he doesn’t like to hype his relationship, but he is also obsessed with peach scandals.

There were previous revelations that Peng Yuyan had talked to Cai YL, which was also confirmed by Peng Yuyan’s agent.

The two met in 2006 and fell in love quickly, secretly dating for three years due to various considerations.

During their relationship, the two were constantly blocked by the company, and with Peng Yuyan’s scandal, the two finally broke up.

It is said that when Peng Yuyan and Cai YL were in love, he carried Miss Cai and oxygen beauty Lin Jiaan to the dark.

Some media have photographed Lin Jiaan staying at Peng Yuyan’s house for two hours, and some have revealed that the two are dating.

Although many "cohabitation photos" were taken, the two held the attitude of "beating to death and not admitting it".

Peng Yuyan also had an affair with Big S, and the two became attached to "The Voice Practice of Love".

Before the filming was over, the scandal between the two was flying all over the sky.

They not only flirted on set, but also were very ambiguous when attending events.

However, later, the two sides agreed that they were oolong and did not call.

In 2011, Peng Yuyan and Shu Qi went to a nightclub together late at night to be happy to be photographed, which led to a love affair.

The two met because of filming the MV, and Peng Yuyan would send birthday wishes to Shu Qi on time every year on Shu Qi’s birthday.

Peng Yuyan has shown his liking for Shu Qi in front of the media many times, and also called Shu Qi his own Muse.

Taiwan media once broke the news that the two had a relationship, but Peng Yuyan was not famous at that time, so it did not attract much attention.

In 2013, Peng Yuyan and Bai Baihe collaborated on "Break Up Contract", and the two were accused of falling in love due to the play.

Later, when Bai Baihe and her husband divorced, the scandal between Peng Yuyan and Bai Baihe was also noisy.

Peng Yuyan can be said to be filming a play for a gossip girlfriend.

In 2014, Peng Yuyan and Guo Caijie were rumored to have an affair for filming "Love Close at Hand".

In addition, Peng Yuyan has also been rumored to have affairs with actresses such as Zhang Junqian and Xu Qing.

Peng Yuyan and Zhang Junyu filmed "I am in Kenting, the weather is fine" together, and cooperated with Xu Qing on "Evil does not suppress good".

I don’t know if it’s to deliberately create scandals for publicity and hype, or if actors are too easy to "fall in love with the play".

Anyway, Peng Yuyan’s reliance on a basket of "love" has attracted a lot of attention.

Due to the rich personal relationships, some people ridiculed Peng Yuyan for "more gossip girlfriends than works".

Reason 3: Most works are flexing their muscles and cannot afford the box office

No doubt, some aspects of Peng Yuyan are just passable.

For example, his acting skills need to be improved, and his personal relationships are too confusing.

But his figure is really amazing.

Jiang Wen once said that Peng Yuyan is not an ordinary person, and his self-discipline is very strong.

A body like his is more beautiful than an ancient Greek sculpture, why don’t I take a picture?

In other words, Jiang Wen approached Peng Yuyan to film, not for his acting skills, but for his figure.

As a result, there is Peng Yuyan’s "wonderful performance" in "Evil Does Not Suppress Upright".

In fact, Peng Yuyan didn’t show off his figure at the beginning of filming.

The first time he was noticed was because he starred in the role of Tang Yu Xiaobao in "The Legend of Immortals and Swords".

The fairy sword made Hu Ge and Liu Yifei popular, and Peng Yuyan, as a supporting actor, also began to emerge.

In the following years, he starred in a number of film and television works, but they were all tepid.

It was not until around 2010 that Peng Yuyan became inexplicably popular because he liked to take fitness photos.

In the past, when he was studying, Peng Yuyan was a little fat man.

Because he was too fat, he was often laughed at by his classmates. He felt inferior and didn’t dare to talk to the girl he liked.

So later, he made up his mind to lose weight and entered the entertainment industry by chance.

After learning the story behind Peng Yuyan’s fitness, many people praised him.

Praise him for his self-discipline and admire his ability to develop from a fat man to a muscular man.

In 2011, Peng Yuyan received an invitation from the crew of "Roll! Ashin".

In the film, Peng Yuyan began to show off his figure, but he didn’t expect a good response.

After that, Peng Yuyan took the tough guy route and walked farther and farther on the road of showing off his figure.

In films such as "Operation Mekong", "Guild War", and "Evil Does Not Suppress Upright", his strong body can be seen.

With his unique appearance, Peng Yuyan won a group of fans and the title of "National Male God".

Unfortunately, things must be reversed, and showing too much can also cause visual fatigue.

Without excellent acting support, relying solely on one’s body to attract attention will not last long.

Peng Yuyan is very hard-working and inspirational.

But his acting has been stagnant, without much progress.

Peng Yuyan has never denied the shortcoming of "acting":

"I didn’t get the hang of acting, it’s always been like this. When I get a feeling, I don’t know how to act. I feel this way every time. Can I act? I don’t understand this at all."

After eating the bonus of the figure, the capital found that Peng Yuyan could not afford the box office at all.

In recent years, the films starring Peng Yuyan have not been as good at the box office every year.

Either the rating is low, the box office is low, or the street is double.

In 2017, "The Legend of Wukong" 698 million at the box office, with a rating of only 5.1.

2020’s Emergency Rescue 485 million at the box office with a 5.9 rating.

The 2021 "First Incense" box office 64.21 million, with a rating of 5.0.

The rating failed again, and word-of-mouth box office double hit the street.

Also in 2021, "Tropical Past" 64.09 million at the box office, with a rating of 6.2.

This is Peng Yuyan’s highest-rated film in the past six years, and he has finally entered the passing line.

However, the box office was unsatisfactory and suffered a terrible loss.

Unable to afford the box office, and without the support of excellent works and acting skills, there are more and more bad films.

What’s more, Peng Yuyan is already over 40 years old and no longer young.

There was nothing in his body worth the capital investment.

It is inevitable to lose value and be abandoned by the times and capital.

And it turns out that when times and capital abandon you, they won’t say hello.Peng Yuyan is the best example.

Reason 4: Issues of nationality and position

If only the above three reasons are not enough to make Peng Yuyan "disappear".

After all, many actors in the circle also have bad word-of-mouth, bad box office, and chaotic lives.

People still eat leftovers in the circle, as long as they are thick-skinned enough.

The last "straw" that crushed Peng Yuyan was his "position".

With the rapid rise of the mainland economy, the scale of the entertainment market is also expanding year by year.

The prosperity of the mainland market and unlimited business opportunities have attracted a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists to flock to the mainland for development.

In order to better extract gold in the inland, many artists have taken a stand and forwarded that there is only "one China".

However, Peng Yuyan was caught, and he not only did not forward it.

And he also made some remarks on overseas platforms that were not conducive to unity.

Back then, Peng Yuyan was promoting his movie "Guild Wars".

Two posts were posted on foreign social media platforms in Chinese and English.

He first sent a Chinese message saying that Guild Wars will be released in Hong Kong today, China tomorrow, and Taiwan in September.

Then I sent it again in English.

Referring to the mainland as China, Hong Kong and Taiwan alone said that this move caused netizens to explode, and netizens commented:

"It should be said that Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland should not be juxtaposed with China."

"In fact, many Taiwanese artists pretend to be very patriotic to make money."

"No matter how good the actors are, on the one hand, insisting on one China is the bottom line."

Perhaps seeing the skepticism and public outrage, Peng Yuyan’s team immediately offered an explanation and public relations.

However, netizens did not buy it, thinking that he was "pretending to be wrong" for the money.

If you want to make money in the mainland and don’t support one China, it will only be ambiguous. Isn’t this right and right?

After this incident, everyone’s affection for Peng Yuyan fell to the bottom.

Some people even expressed their refusal to watch his movies, wondering if Peng Yuyan’s later box office was dismal due to this factor.

Today, Peng Yuyan is already 41 years old. Abandoned by capital and spurned by everyone, it is difficult for him to have another chance to become popular.

From the national male god to the disappearance, everything is traceable.

Where did Qingdao’s "Patient Zero" come from?

Wu Zunyou made a preliminary judgment and made a suggestion

The "News 1 + 1" broadcast on October 13 continued to focus on the epidemic in Qingdao. The program connected Wu Zunyou, the chief epidemiologist of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, to respond to questions such as "Patient Zero", "Whether you need to be quarantined when you visit Qingdao during the Golden Week", and "The scale of this epidemic".

01. The scale of the epidemic in Qingdao should not be too large

According to the Qingdao Health Commission, as of 15:30 pm on the 13th, Qingdao’s nucleic acid test has completed 4.23 million samples, and 1.94 million results have been issued.

Wu Zunyou introduced that large-scale nucleic acid testing provides a very important technical means for understanding the scale of the epidemic. From the current results, the scale of the epidemic should not be too large.

Wu Zunyou mentioned that when a case occurs, it is still quite worrying. Especially if the patient takes the initiative to seek medical treatment in the community outpatient clinic, which indicates that there must be a certain number of cases later, depending on the patient’s early and late treatment. From the more information of Qingdao cases, they are mainly concentrated in hospitals, so the scale should be lower than that of Beijing Xinfadi and Xinjiang epidemics.

02. Taxi drivers have a limited role as a source of infection

In this epidemic in Qingdao, a taxi driver became a confirmed case, causing concern. Wu Zunyou introduced that when the driver first found positive nucleic acid, he was still asymptomatic and infected, and he turned to a confirmed case on the 13th. From asymptomatic infection to confirmed case, indicating that the driver is in the early stage of infection.

He introduced that according to the detoxification law of novel coronavirus, the patient is contagious one or two days before the appearance of symptoms and five days after the appearance of symptoms. For this driver, before the discovery on the 11th, his role as a source of infection was very limited. After the discovery on the 11th, he has been quarantined. For him, the scope of contact and spread is very limited.

03. Tourists who have been to Qingdao do not need to be quarantined

During the 11th of this year, Qingdao received 4.50 million passengers. Do you need to isolate all nucleic acid tests?

Wu Zunyou said that this is not necessary. Judging from the current testing situation, the epidemic is mainly confined to thoracic hospitals. For the vast majority of tourists who travel to Qingdao during the National Day, there is no opportunity to contact patients. But there is one point. If you go to the district where the hospital is located and take a taxi and have a taxi invoice, you need to check whether it is a taxi service provided by the patient. For other travelers, there is no need to worry too much. If you are really worried, you can take the initiative to go to a medical institution for a nucleic acid test.

04. Preliminary judgment of "Patient Zero" is likely to be related to the management of imported cases overseas

On the 13th, the epidemic conference in Qingdao mentioned that the possibility of community infection is getting lower and lower.

Wu Zunyou introduced that there are two interpretations. First, the epidemic is less and less likely to be brought to the hospital by the community to detonate. From the clinical symptoms and incidence of cases, it should be hospitalized patients, to accompany, to accompany family members, resulting in transmission. Second, the risk of this epidemic causing greater transmission in society is very small.

With the deepening of investigation and testing, more and more evidence shows that the 6 confirmed cases and 6 asymptomatic infections detected in this epidemic are highly related to the Municipal Chest Hospital. This hospital is responsible for the treatment of imported novel coronavirus infections.

Wu Zunyou said that the epidemic in Qingdao once again sounded the alarm, and the whole country should further supervise and inspect when receiving imported cases from abroad, check that the closed loop is intact and there are no loopholes.

Some netizens asked who was "Patient Zero"?

Wu Zunyou mentioned that there is no clear answer at present. Preliminary judgments show that the epidemic is not directly related to the Golden Week of November, and "Patient Zero" needs to be further transferred. Preliminary judgments are likely to be related to the management of imported cases from abroad, and this answer also needs to be further investigated and verified by local governments.

05. It is necessary to check the hospitals that receive imported cases from abroad

What issues should be paid attention to in the closed-loop management of imported cases abroad?

Wu Zunyou said that for the management of imported cases from abroad, there are designated hospitals or designated hospitals in various places. Some designated hospitals are dedicated to receiving COVID-19, and some provide services to other patients in the society while receiving COVID-19 imported cases.

If it is dedicated to serving COVID-19 cases, it should be said that the risk is relatively small. If it also serves other patients in the society, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the division of the ward is strictly isolated, and whether large instruments and equipment are cross-used.

This kind of risk should also exist in other parts of the country, so the results of this investigation in Qingdao should be taken as a warning. All localities should conduct a one-stop inspection of the hospitals that receive imported cases to see if there is a risk of loopholes in the entire closed loop and how to make up for it. This is a very important measure to stop the local spread of epidemics imported from abroad.

06. Qingdao has previously treated imported cases in hospitals, and some patients have been infected

On April 15 this year, at a press conference held by the State Council’s joint prevention and control mechanism, two new confirmed cases in Qingdao at that time attracted media attention.

According to the news released by the Qingdao Municipal Health Commission on April 7, it was initially determined that the two confirmed cases were infected by imported cases during their treatment at Qingdao Jiaozhou Central Hospital, and they were in the same ward as an imported case.

Three days later, on April 10, the official website of the Qingdao Municipal Government released information, dismissing Xing Chunli and Wei Xiu’e, vice presidents of Jiaozhou Central Hospital.

Is the test result of nucleic acid 10-in-1 mixed mining accurate?

This large-scale test involves mixing samples from 10 individuals for testing. Does this test comply with regulations? Can the results be accurate?

According to the introduction, the nucleic acid test work for the city’s population in accordance with the requirements of the novel coronavirus nucleic acid 10 in 1 mixed mining detection technology specification for nucleic acid sampling, mixed inspection in line with the State Council joint prevention and control mechanism related to social level crowd detection specification.

Mixed testing can improve the efficiency of screening, and play an important role in multi-screening, early diagnosis, and restoring the order of production and life as soon as possible. Professor Liu Yong, the main developer and specification writer of "novel coronavirus nucleic acid 10-in-1 mixed detection technology" and director of the laboratory department of Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University, once said: "The biggest feature of the new technology is high efficiency. Saving time is extremely important in epidemic prevention and control. Finding patients one minute earlier and isolating them one minute earlier will reduce transmission and save a lot of social costs."

Once a positive is found during the mixed inspection screening, the relevant departments will be notified immediately to temporarily isolate the 10 subjects of the mixed inspection tube, and re-collect the single-tube swab for review. The mixed inspection meets the regulations, and the results are also accurate, and there will be no problems such as missed or wrong inspections.

??Movie Network News(Photo/Film Festival News Team) On June 13, during the 12th Shanghai International Film Festival, the new drama promotion and star signing ceremony of Shanghai Film Emperor Cultural Development Co., Ltd. was held in Shanghai. Yang Shoucheng, chairman of Emperor Group, Ren Zhonglun, president of Shanghai Film Company, and actors Hu Ge, Zhang Meng and Zhang Shi were on hand to witness Han Xue becoming the first contracted artist of Shanghai Film Emperor. Han Xue and Zhang Meng, two actresses, one in pink and the other sexy and sultry, each made a high-profile appearance and staged a "favorite show". The handsome Hu Ge said at the scene that the role he most wanted to play was a eunuch, which was "surprising".


Han Xue

Zhang Meng

Han Xue’s pink skirt is cute, Zhang Meng’s cleavage is sexy and sultry

??On the day of the press conference, Han Xue, who has always been depicted as a jade girl, was dressed in a short skirt with slanted shoulders, a large ruffle and a bow to set off her chest and waist, and pink shoes. With long hair with bangs, she looked pink and cute in front of her. Han Xue said that this hairstyle was just cut by her for this signing ceremony, indicating that everything has to start again. At the same time, she also said that she has been waiting for this opportunity for many years to develop in film.

??The other actress present, Zhang Meng, took the opposite route. A super low-cut gold dress exposed her cleavage, and with long curly hair, she looked sexy and enchanting. After the press conference, neither of them left immediately, each occupying a corner, constantly cooperating with the media to take various poses to take pictures, and "stealing the camera" was very happy.


Hu Ge


Zhang Shi

General Hu Ge blew himself up and wanted to play eunuch Zhang Shi, saying that if he became popular, the price would increase

??In the three years since its establishment, the Shanghai Film Emperor has filmed many high-quality film and television dramas, including the 2008 billion-dollar box office movie "Slam Dunk" starring Jay Chou. In 2009, the Shanghai Film Emperor invested over 100 million yuan to produce and distribute the first domestic TV drama "Myth" with Jackie Chan as the director and Tang Jili as the artistic director. Starring is Hu Ge, Bai Bing, Zhang Meng, Zhang Shi and many other stars.

??Hu Ge played the general Jackie Chan once played in the movie version of "Myth" in the TV series version, and there will naturally be many big plays. "I have a lot of fun playing this character, because when I don’t lose, I win every time." Although he said it proudly, Hu Ge admitted that he actually wanted to play the eunuch played by Zhang Shi the most. "I especially want to play his role. This character is a chef in modern society, a good person who is honest and honest. But in the Qin Dynasty, because he is" unfamiliar with the place ", he was bullied and his personality gradually twisted. Eventually, he became the notorious eunuch Zhao Gao in history. With such a big contrast, it is very challenging."

??Hearing this, Zhang Shi, who was on the side, showed a surprised expression, and then said, "I also really want to play the role of Hu Ge. In fact, I want to have his appearance, how handsome he is." Although the play was not finished, Zhang Shi was full of confidence in the future prospects, and he joked and asked for a "salary increase" on the spot. "I believe that with such a good script and team, we will definitely be popular if we play" Myth ". Sorry, my salary will go up in the future."

Ele.me launches "Barrier-Free Festival" for visually impaired users: free shopping does not close, and care does not stop

  Recently, a news about the "Barrier-Free Day" has caused heated discussions on the Internet, and many netizens have asked: What is the "Barrier-Free Day"? The reporter learned that Ele.me recently announced that August 7 will be designated as the "Barrier-Free Day", and will send benefits to visually impaired users every year from this year.

  On the day of the free-order festival, the platform offers free-order for visually impaired users: no need to guess the answer, no need to grab time, and no total quota. The first catering order of the day can be free of charge for up to 39 yuan. This is also the second consecutive year that Ele.me has launched a special free-order event for visually impaired users.

  The sense of participation of minorities, that is, the responsibility of marketing activities

  According to the data released by the China Disabled Persons’ Federation, the total number of disabled people in our country has exceeded 85 million. The number is huge, but they are rarely seen – because they rarely go out. Because of this, the issue of disabled people has always been a hot topic of attention from all walks of life in the country and society.

  According to data, more than half of visually impaired people choose to order takeout to solve their daily diet, and more than 70% of visually impaired users use Ele.me. The large visually impaired group relies heavily on takeout apps, so Ele.me has always paid great attention to the experience of visually impaired users, gained insight into the needs of the disabled group, and carried out many benefits and activities for visually impaired users to send warmth to everyone.

  Barrier-free environment is an important basic condition for facilitating the full participation of special groups such as the disabled, the sick, the elderly, and the young in social life. At the same time, it is also a key factor in improving the quality of life and service level in urban environments.

  "Will there be free Ele.me this year? There was one last year, and now it’s almost that time again." A user named "Star Magic" posted a question on the Zhidu forum, an online community for the visually impaired. Their discussion has been followed by Ele.me.

  According to the relevant person in charge of Ele.me, this year’s free-order rules are similar to those of last year. Since Ele.me cannot directly identify visually impaired users, users who have opened the Ele.me App using screen-reading software between July 5 and August 5 (this is the operation of visually impaired people using mobile phones) will automatically enjoy free-order eligibility.

  Zhao Zhiguo, spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, recently mentioned that we will continue to promote the results of information accessibility construction and guide 1,735 mainstream commonly used websites and mobile apps to complete the senior-friendly transformation. The implementation of a series of relevant policies and regulations has provided a strong guarantee for the construction of a barrier-free environment in our country, helping all sectors of society to actively participate in the construction of a barrier-free environment and improve the well-being of the people with disabilities.

  The benefits are not closed, and the care is not stopped. "Last year’s free-order activity for visually impaired users received a very enthusiastic response. Recently, we also saw some netizens concerned about the situation this year in the forum for visually impaired people." The original intention of the free-order activity is to make more people happy, and we will not forget visually impaired users this year, and plan to stick to it every year. "

  Welfare is one aspect, and more importantly, visually impaired people believe that they are cared for and valued, which is the reason why they are happier.

  In recent years, our country has continued to introduce relevant policies to promote the construction of barrier-free facilities and services. On June 28, at the third meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People’s Congress, the Barrier-free Environment Construction Law was officially voted and will come into effect on September 1, 2023, providing a strong legal guarantee for the construction of barrier-free environment in our country.

  From a business perspective, due to the small user base, most companies rarely launch targeted product launches and activities for visually impaired people, making it difficult to customize activities that suit their experience.

  Therefore, in some large-scale marketing activities, under the conditions permitted by the platform or enterprise capabilities, it is a useful exploration to integrate activities that are more convenient for visually impaired users to participate in. When more and more enterprises join, they can enhance the consensus of disadvantaged groups in social care.

  As some netizens said in a message, the social treatment of minorities is a silhouette of the degree of civilization in a society. To pay attention to them is to pay attention to everyone, because anyone may become a minority.

  From helping popular science to supporting merchants, the sense of social responsibility of "playing" free of charge

  In fact, although giving benefits is a public welfare activity, it hides the attribute of "popular science" behind it. Since the main activity of free shopping is "guessing the answer and free shopping", Ele.me invited many professional institutions, experts and scholars to pose questions, and developed it into a large-scale popular science platform with the help of the traffic of the event itself.

  For example, on July 20, "China Aerospace News" was invited to publish a popular science project about China’s lunar exploration project, and Shanghai Fire Protection also published a popular science topic about the "trivia" that cannot be placed in the home at will, which is easy to cause fires.

Aerospace experts pose a popular science question about China’s moon landing plan

  There are also institutions such as Qingdao Anti-Fraud Center, Jinan Ecological Environment Bureau, and China Packaging Federation, which have been invited to provide happy popular science for netizens in the form of questions. The fields are diverse enough, the content is practical enough, and the interaction is interesting enough, so that the participants can sow the seeds of knowledge and curiosity in an unconsciously happy atmosphere.

  This type of activity exploration has given special groups a sense of inclusive participation, allowing platform companies to root their business development in social needs. This has undoubtedly opened up avenues for other platforms and brands, providing an excellent reference sample.

  At the same time, free shopping also effectively promotes consumption and drives the growth of merchant orders. Last year’s free shopping activities led to the recovery of orders from a large number of merchants in Shanghai, Changsha and other places. This year, Ele.me invited the Jinzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce to issue a question to promote Jinzhou BBQ. The topic of Weibo #Jinzhou is the ceiling of the barbecue industry #boarded the hot search, and the reading volume exceeded 110 million that day.

  Compared with last year, the number of merchants benefiting from free orders this year has increased significantly. The latest disclosure data of Ele.me shows that since the opening of the free order activity on June 21, the participating merchants have exceeded 1.50 million, which is 2.5 times more than last year’s 600,000.

  The inspiration of free-order public welfare: looking forward to many parties working together to "create festivals"

  In addition to targeting visually impaired groups, Ele.me also collaborates with merchants to provide benefits to outdoor workers in many places through free-of-charge activities. For example, starting from July 15, Ele.me started a series of cool-off activities in Guangzhou, going to the construction site of Guangzhou Metro Fangbai Intercity Rail Project in Baiyunrenhe to distribute free cold drinks to subway workers who are struggling on the front line. At the same time, Ele.me also set up "cool stations" in many places in Guangzhou, distributing 10,000 free ice drinks for outdoor workers to receive for free; in order to allow workers to survive the hot and hot summer season, on July 23, Ele.me and Zhengzhou Federation of Trade Unions sent hundreds of watermelons weighing about 1,000 kilograms to outdoor workers to relieve the heat and so on at the Huaibei Community Love Station of Huaihe Road Street Office, Erqi District.

  In fact, the free-order form has a certain appeal to any consumer. It allows consumers to intuitively see the discounts and profits on real money, and there are no extra routines, so it is a success for brands. And if you want to achieve long-term benefits through the free-order economy, you must also focus on higher social value dimensions. The plan given by Ele.me is to combine its own business conduct with social responsibility, and drive merchants to invest in it, laying a solid foundation for the long-term sustainability of its model.

  As a platform enterprise in the field of local instant e-commerce, Ele.me pays attention to the product experience and well-being of visually impaired people. It can be seen that it has always rooted its business value in social needs, and has therefore harvested good social feedback and market data. Sorting through media reports in recent years, it can be seen that Ele.me is not a whim to create a festival for visually impaired users. In March 2023, Ele.me App was awarded the first batch of excellent cases of Internet application senior-friendly and barrier-free transformation. In addition, Ele.me continues to realize the dreams of visually impaired users by supporting blind school teams and holding blind e-sports competitions.

  Making benefits for visually impaired users fixed as a festival not only allows more visually impaired people to be seen, but also expresses Ele.me’s firm determination to appeal for the rights and interests of visually impaired people. This can not only drive more brands to participate, but also play a demonstration role in society and build a broader consensus. Perhaps we can imagine that there will be a large number of brands in the future to create a lifestyle consumption festival for visually impaired people.

  Ele.me said that only when the government, platforms, merchants and other parties work together can the value of the festival be maximized and a sustainable state of long-term development be formed. Ele.me will continue to work with all partners in the ecological chain to make more visually impaired people visible and valued through technological innovation, unique business gameplay and other forms.

Describing the structure of the Milky Way in several steps

  The picture shows the Milky Way observed in the infrared band. The picture is from the 2MASS Sky Survey project. The pictures are all stitched together from multiple observations. Due to the interstellar extinction in the optical band, it can be seen that the image of the Milky Way in the optical band is light and dark.

  The Milky Way is like humanity’s "most familiar stranger". After more than 200 years of hard work, we still haven’t fully seen its face. A new study has brought us one step closer to the true appearance of the Milky Way.

  On a clear night, looking up at the stars, you will see a milky white bright band running through the night sky, which is the home of hundreds of billions of stars, including the sun – the Milky Way.

  Since more than 200 years ago, people have been trying to understand the structure of the Milky Way.

  This is not simple, not only because we are in it, but also because various interstellar media interfere with people’s vision and obscure the true appearance of the Milky Way.

  Recently, researchers at the National Astronomical Observatory have measured the latest hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio in the Milky Way. This work will help to understand the interstellar medium and is a crucial step in the journey to understanding the structure of the Milky Way.

  The sun is not the center of the galaxy

  In the 17th century, Galileo pointed his telescope at the milky band of light in the sky and found that it was a dense region of stars. In the mid-18th century, the Englishman Wright proposed the Milky Way Conjecture, which believed that the Milky Way is like a flat lens, and the sun is only one of the stars in it.

  The first person to paint a portrait of the Milky Way was the Englishman William Herschel. The 18th-century astronomer built the largest telescope of his time and discovered Uranus. He also focused on the stellar world. After many years of observation, he drew a map of the structure of the Milky Way in 1785, based on the number of stars in all directions in the sky. Unable to determine the distances of distant stars, Herschel assumed that all stars in the sky had the same luminous ability and estimated their distances to Earth based on the actual observed brightness of the stars. His "portrait" of the Milky Way was flat, with an irregular profile, and the sun was located in the center of the Milky Way. Herschel used statistical methods to confirm the hypothesis that the Milky Way is a flat disk for the first time, thus establishing the concept of the Milky Way for the first time.

  In 1906, the Dutch astronomer Kaptan proposed a "selection plan" to re-examine the structure of the Milky Way. His model of the Milky Way was similar to that of Herschel: the sun was centered, the stars in the center were dense, and the edges were sparse.

  Almost at the same time as Captan, the American astronomer Shapley also began to study the structure of the Milky Way. The discovery of Cepheid variables made it possible for scientists to accurately determine the distances of celestial bodies. Shapley determined the distances of Cepheid variables in globular clusters to Earth based on their light change periods, and then studied the structure and size of the Milky Way from the distribution of globular clusters. In 1918, Shapley proposed that the Milky Way is a lenticular star system with its center located in the direction of Sagittarius, rather than the solar system. Later observations gradually proved that Shapley’s model was closer to the real Milky Way, so it is still used today.

  Interstellar Dust is a "central figure"

  Obtaining the true structure of the Milky Way is not easy. According to Shapley’s estimate, the size of the Milky Way is 300,000 light-years. According to the state of the art at the time, this was a very accurate estimate. However, this figure is three times the size of the Milky Way in modern measurements. The reason is that Shapley ignored the extinction effect of the interstellar medium on starlight.

  Space is filled with the interstellar medium. The light emitted by celestial bodies is absorbed or scattered by the interstellar medium before reaching the earth, causing the brightness of the celestial bodies we observe to be dimmer than expected. This process is often called interstellar extinction. The hazy image of the Milky Way in the optical band is the key evidence for the existence of extinction. Therefore, studying interstellar extinction is an important step in obtaining the structure of the Milky Way. Since different components have different extinction values for starlight, extinction research can also help us gain a deeper understanding of the components of the interstellar medium.

  To understand the structure of the Milky Way is to study the distribution of various substances in the Milky Way. The interstellar medium plays a crucial role in the study of the structure of the Milky Way. In the optical band, extinction is mainly produced by dust in the interstellar medium, and the size of the extinction is affected by the total mass, composition and size of the dust. In the X-ray band, heavy elements that are not fully ionized absorb some of the radiation.

  Therefore, extinction in the optical band (characterized by extinction in the V-band) can be used to reveal the dust composition in the interstellar medium. The distribution of heavy elements in the interstellar medium can be known from X-ray absorption (expressed by hydrogen column density), and then the total amount of hydrogen in the three states of atoms, molecules and ionization can be obtained according to the specific proportional relationship between heavy elements and hydrogen in the interstellar medium. Through observations in these two bands, scientists can not only know the corresponding structure of the Milky Way, but also study the relationship between dust composition and gas composition. This is why the parameter of hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio in the Milky Way has attracted much attention.

  A new understanding of the "most familiar stranger"

  As early as the 1980s, it was recognized that the hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio were important for understanding the Milky Way. The current widely used value is still obtained by American scientist Bohlin in 1978. For many years, people have been working to obtain more accurate and reliable results.

  There are generally three ways to measure this parameter. Usually the measurement of optical extinction is easier, and different methods mainly use different methods to measure the hydrogen column density.

  The so-called hydrogen column density is assumed to have a column with a fixed cross-sectional area in the line of sight direction, and the amount of hydrogen contained in this column is the hydrogen column density. Bohlin’s method is to estimate the hydrogen column density based on the absorption of neutral hydrogen and molecular hydrogen in the interstellar medium on the spectral lines of stars in the ultraviolet band. The other two methods are to measure the hydrogen column density according to the neutral hydrogen atom and carbon monoxide radiation, and to measure the hydrogen column density according to the absorption of the interstellar medium on the stellar spectrum in the X-ray band. However, due to the complex composition of the interstellar medium and the small and unreliable sample size, the previous measurement results are not satisfactory.

  The author’s latest work adopts the above third method, that is, the abundance of heavy elements is measured according to the absorption of the X-ray band, and then the hydrogen column density is obtained according to the proportion relationship between heavy elements and gas components. As early as the 1970s, scientists have used this method to study the structure of the Milky Way. However, due to the difficulty of data acquisition, when scientists conducted this study in the past, the sample size was only about 20 at most. In order to expand the sample size, the author’s study for the first time includes the X-ray radiation of supernova remnants, planetary nebulae, and X-ray binaries at the same time. The sample size is expanded to about 100, and the hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio of the Milky Way are recalculated.

  The final results show that this ratio does not vary with the spatial location of the interstellar medium, and the mass ratio of gas to dust in the Milky Way obtained by this ratio is about 140. This means that there is more gas in the Milky Way than expected.

  The Milky Way is a disk with a certain thickness. The latest work also calculated the distribution of hydrogen between two kiloseconds (about 3.26 light-years) and 10 kiloseconds from the center of the galaxy. The research suggests that the disk is denser and decays faster than previously realized. This means that the disk is thinner than previously thought, but denser.

  The Milky Way is like the "most familiar stranger" to humans – although it is close by, it has been unable to see its face clearly. After more than 200 years of efforts by scientists, the outline of the Milky Way’s structure is becoming clearer and clearer. However, there are still many unsolved mysteries in the Milky Way, and we are still on our way.
