　　　 As the only Chinese film shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year’s Venice Film Festival and highly praised, on September 29, the film co-starring Andy Lau, Deng Chao, Li Bingbing, Carina Lau, and Leung Ka Fai landed in mainland cinemas to seize the National Day schedule. From October 8, Taiwan will also welcome the film’s full release. The grand and mysterious scenes in the film, interlocking suspense, tense and exciting fights, reveal Xu Hark’s classic style everywhere, and the mainland actor Deng Chao joined the film, and he had to love the director Xu Hark for the first time. Not only was the shape created by Xu Hark, but the role in the film was also close to the male number one Andy Lau, and the detective trio composed of Di Renjie and Jing’er. The literary and martial arts are quite outstanding, and they are the most distinctive among the already strange and stunning shapes, and are expected to become a classic character in Xu Hark’s works. After the film was released, Deng Chao’s white-haired Pei Donglai did gain a lot of praise, and netizens discussed Deng Chao’s acting skills, calling it the biggest highlight in the film. And Deng Chao was interviewed to decipher Pei Donglai’s three most important.

The most beloved is added

　　　 Pei Donglai was a "little follower" in the original script. When Deng Chao talked about this thin character, he was very emotional that he and Director Tsui Hark worked together to make this character richer and richer, so that the audience could see Pei Donglai now. "He originally followed Di Renjie’s little follower, and there weren’t many scenes, so when I started making the look, I was also very puzzled, why did such a character have to be made white. But slowly, I understood Director Tsui Hark’s idea and slowly got to know this character. I really appreciate Director Tsui Hark’s ideas for this character later, giving Pei Donglai a lot of equipment and a lot of meaning, so that this character can be so three-dimensional." But in fact, Deng Chao is such a person who constantly pursues challenges and innovations in his performances. Everyone who has worked with him knows that he shoots on the spot. Deng Chao often has the 101st performance method after 100 performances, and he will constantly think about making his performances more choices for the director. Therefore, in "Di Renjie’s Heavenly Empire", his wonderful performance was respected and recognized. After the film ended, Director Tsui Hark asked Deng Chao to shoot a three-day drama alone, adding scenes for him, and because he especially appreciated Deng Chao’s martial arts performance, he filmed a lot of fighting parts. "Now in the movie, in a fight between the ghost market and the fake imperial master, I flew to the fake imperial master and asked him, ‘Aren’t you going to be a doppelganger? "Divide", this paragraph was also added during the re-shoot. There were no lines at that time. I said can I add such a sentence? Director Tsui Hark said yes. So now there is such a presentation. I think this line not only makes the scene with the sound of weapons hitting a little bit of a live reaction, but also highlights that Pei Donglai is really ruthless and very eager to kill the enemy. "

The most helpless feelings are deleted

　　　 In "Di Renjie’s Heavenly Empire", many viewers said after watching that the emotional scenes of several main characters were entangled and chaotic, Di Renjie and Empress Wu, Empress Wu and Jing’er, Di Renjie and Shatuo, Di Renjie and Pei Donglai, Pei Donglai and Jing’er… The intertwining was complicated and dazzling. Among them, in addition to the passionate scene between Di Renjie and Jing’er, Pei Donglai’s sacrifice to save Jing’er also seemed to tell the audience that Pei Donglai was interested in Jing’er. However, because Pei Donglai was dedicated to handling the case, he was framed and sacrificed early, which made the relationship between the two die without any trouble. But Deng Chao said, "This paragraph has been deleted. In fact, Pei Donglai and Jing’er have a relationship. During the filming, when Wu Zetian gave up Di Renjie and didn’t let him handle the case, Empress Wu actually handed the case to Pei Donglai. There was a scene where Pei Donglai and Jing’er led the horse on a date one night. That scene was quite interesting. I remember that the horse we led was quite ambiguous. At that time, Pei Donglai confessed to Jing’er. This scene was deleted, and later I also asked the master, and the director said, ‘Sometimes there are things that happen, and there is no need to say it.’ I think it’s quite right. " Although Pei Donglai did not have too many emotional scenes in the film, his kind of affection for Di Renjie and his care for Jing’er already made people feel the strong emotion of this character, which echoed the dreaded albino shape. "His coldness, his darkness, his murderous aura is very heavy, the sense of distance will not hinder his warmth, and there is also a slight cuteness." Deng Chao talked about Pei Donglai, obviously loving the character he created very much.

The most expensive special effects are burned to death

　　　 Even though Pei Donglai was a ruthless character in the film with high martial arts skills, the ending of Pei Donglai was extremely sighing. After finding the clue to the breakthrough in the case, he was plotted by the enemy, encountered misfortune, and was burned to death in front of Di Renjie. This plot makes people strongly feel that Pei Donglai does not give up on the truth, especially the hint to Di Renjie when his body is almost gone, which not only makes people cry, but Pei Donglai’s death makes Di Renjie’s face even more lonely. "The scene of Pei Donglai being burned to death was actually the kind of sympathy between men, that kind of manly and strong spirit. I think Pei Donglai is a hero." Watching the movie, attentive viewers would find that Pei Donglai’s death was different from the deaths of the two adults in front of them. The scene of Pei Donglai being burned to death was more detailed, and the last cry was even more heartbreaking and very sad. Talking about this scene, Deng Chao smiled and said, "It was very difficult, it was difficult during the performance, and it was difficult during the dubbing. Fortunately, they told me later that the special effects of your burnt to death were the most expensive, and the effect was very detailed. It turned out that I had the’most expensive ‘role (laughs) " Dubbing this scene was also an unforgettable scene for Deng Chao, "because what is expressed in the film is burning out of the body, what does it feel like to burn out of the body? This is definitely different from how we usually get burned and burned. How to shout out this kind of pain? At that time, I really communicated with Chen Guofu for a long time, and later he joked that you can just shout with a voice that is not a human voice. After dubbing, I really can’t shout a human voice, they heard outside the recording studio that it feels good. "Deng Chao, who is dedicated and serious about the performance, will not let go of any details, even if a dubbing, he is so careful, which shows that he is responsible for the performance, which is why his step-by-step road to the big screen is so solid. Even such a cold and murderous person will make the audience feel pity. It is difficult to distinguish between people in the film, but Pei Donglai is just a victim who died before his birth. Deng Chao’s big-screen performance can be described as good, with a gorgeous turn and a powerful transformation. It is also a creative boutique inspired by Director Tsui Hark.

"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."

(Photography/Ermeng, Photography/Kakashi) On June 18, Wang Sicong attended the "Banana Curiosity Night" in Shanghai. He wanted to hold an annual program for new directors and screenwriters to realize their dreams and award prizes to the winners. "My film company has never thought of competing with the boss of the industry. The main purpose is not to make money, but to take out a little money to help the film market that I feel lacks infrastructure."

Wang Sicong wants to spend long-term to "raise" newcomers: help the underdeveloped film market

Banana Films has been spending time and energy on cultivating "people", as Wang Sicong said: "I hope that through my meager efforts, whether you are a professional or not, if you want to tell stories, if you want to be a screenwriter, if you want to be a director, if you dare to participate in our competition, I will directly reward everyone with money. Because I know that it is not easy to do any art, sometimes you want to be a screenwriter or a director, but in the early days, this job cannot support you. So I want everyone to not give up on their dreams and keep working hard. Anyway, I will do it every year."

As for the establishment of Banana Film, Wang Sicong said: "I never thought about competing with the boss of the industry when I started this film company. The main purpose is not to make money. Of course, it is good to make money. But at least for now, without the pressure of performance, we can take the money to do what we want. In fact, no one wants to do this job. Why don’t we do it if we can? I hope that I can not be too troubled by the industry and give a little money to help the film market that I feel lacks infrastructure." For the selected new directors and new screenwriters, in addition to giving high bonuses, Banana Film has also made a series of targeted plans.

Launched six new directors, the project invited senior bosses to escort

In order to discover China’s outstanding film screenwriters, Banana Film has also launched the "Banana New Screenwriters Dream Realization Project" to help the development of China’s film industry from the source. After more than eight months of selection, six high-quality screenwriters were finally selected from 3,000 participants. At the scene, Wang Sicong, Wei Xiangdong, Jiao Xiongping, Shuhuan and others presented awards to the outstanding screenwriters. Wang Yun with "I and my Hugh Grant" stand out from three thousand people won the first prize exclusive 1.50 million prize, Shen Dawei’s "mirror world", Guo Shuai’s "man to death is still young" won the second prize with 1.20 million dream bonus, Chai Churan with "I am a big star", Liu Xiaofeng with "genius screenwriter", Yin David with "movie watching you" won the third prize and won the 800,000 dream bonus.

Wei Xiangdong, referring to the development of outstanding directors discovered in the first banana new director excavation plan during this year, said: "We have opened a master elite class, recommended them to go to the big director crew to learn in real combat, and through internal grinding, some of them have already started to prepare their own projects."

In keeping with Banana’s promise that "when you are selected, you will have a place to play", six major projects directed by five new directors were officially announced on the spot. "Days of Living with the Villain" by Wen Nhat Hanh is a strategic cooperation with the NetEase literary platform, while "The God of Cooking" is a cooperation project with the iQIYI Yunteng Project. "Lily Cherry" was originally created and directed by Mao Yongsheng, the first winner of the new banana director’s digging project last year. "Me and My Hugh Grant" directed by Cui Rui is the work of the first winner of this year’s new screenwriting, and the cinematographer of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was specially invited to be the executive producer of the film. Qiu Xinda’s "I Am a Big Star" is also the work of this year’s winning screenwriter. Yao Bo’s "For N" was adapted from excellent literary works and collaborated with gold-medal screenwriter Yuan Yuan. Wei Xiangdong assured on the spot: "I want to tell all the screenwriters that all six of your scripts will be filmed, and at the same time, you will be accompanied by excellent senior industry professionals to escort these projects, which is like helping us get through the two veins of Ren and Governor in our creation."

"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?

Responsible editor:

　　The film "Operation Mekong" will be released on September 30. Yesterday, the film held a press conference at the Xi’an Silk Road Film Festival. Director Lin Chaoxian appeared with the stars Peng Yuyan, Feng Wenjuan and Liu Xianda. Director Lin Chaoxian said that the film has been a difficult practice since its preparation, but he thinks it is very worthwhile: "After watching the film, you will know that China’s police and gangster films are about to open up a new situation." And Peng Yuyan challenged himself again this time. It is obvious that you can rely on your appearance, why do you fight so hard every time you shoot? Peng Yuyan said: "No actor only relies on his face to act. An actor is willing to take the time to learn. This is the most basic quality."

　　Text/Guangzhou Daily reporter, Huang An

　　Regarding the new movie:

　　"Makeover" tests fans

　　Guangzhou Daily: You learn a new skill every time you make a movie. What did you learn this time?

　　Peng Yuyan: The role this time is an undercover agent in the Golden Triangle. There are a lot of gun battles, and you need to keep training to operate firearms. All the equipment is restored according to one-to-one, and the shooting is very hard. The training I do a lot in this role is CQB, and I have specially hired a Thai royal coach to train. CQB is the way the US special forces attack terrorists, and I spent a lot of time practicing. In addition to this, I also need to learn some Thai, English and Burmese.

　　Guangzhou Daily: What do you think was the hardest and worst filming environment in the play?

　　Peng Yuyan: The last one is to go to the drug lord’s base camp to do an assault, layer by layer, through grasslands, caves, tunnels, puddles, rivers, and helicopters. It’s hard to forget, because I haven’t experienced it. The most memorable thing is of course all the gunfight scenes. In addition to the gunfight, there are also many action scenes that I never thought of before. For example, I have to do a lot of jumping, getting bombed, and flying around. In the past, when I was shooting action movies and martial arts movies, I was a monster, but this time I just jumped, rolled, and flew by myself. The main reason is that our equipment is real, and it’s really heavy on our backs.

　　Guangzhou Daily: Is learning a foreign language particularly difficult for you?

　　Peng Yuyan: The more difficult part is that the tone of Thai pronunciation is very different from that of Mandarin, and it takes time to make the tone sound like. The language teacher accompanies me to practice during filming. He says it once and I say it again, and then records it and listens all the time. When dubbing later, he will make it more accurate.

　　Guangzhou Daily: The character you played this time is simply a "makeover" compared to the past, with beards and curly hair. Do you accept this change yourself?

　　Peng Yuyan: Director Lin Chaoxian asked me to change my appearance in the play, which is actually a test for movie fans. The audience may think I am crazy, why should I make myself like this, but I think it is quite enjoyable. It is a rare experience to have the opportunity to try this kind of special makeup that is very real. I have 4-5 different shapes in this play, and it takes 2-3 hours to make the shape. Every play I want to have something fun or special, and it is also a surprise for myself.

　　Regarding small goals:

　　Hope to give you more surprises.

　　Guangzhou Daily: You have worked with director Lin Chaoxian three times, and you have also been abused by him three times. Why are you still willing to cooperate with him?

　　Peng Yuyan: Every time I shoot Director Lin’s play, I really love and fear him. I love him very much, but I am afraid of being abused by him. But to be honest, every time I finish filming his play, I feel that my skills have increased greatly, and then I feel very relaxed when I shoot other plays.

　　Guangzhou Daily: Many people think that you can rely on your appearance, but you have to work so hard. Why?

　　Peng Yuyan: I don’t think acting depends on my face. If you think my face looks good, I thank you. The director gives us a lot of room to train, and every actor is willing to take the time to learn. Otherwise, it won’t be interesting. I don’t mind what people call me. I like to shoot director Lin’s plays.

　　Guangzhou Daily: Have you ever thought of winning an award through this play?

　　Peng Yuyan: As an actor, I just do my own thing, and I don’t have to think too much about anything else.

　　Guangzhou Daily: You have always given people the image of a tough guy. Will there be any restrictions on choosing roles in the future? Will you go back to acting in small fresh movies?

　　Peng Yuyan: In fact, I don’t have much rejection for the role. For the small fresh movie, I want to see if it is suitable, because I don’t think I can still play the small fresh movie now.

　　Guangzhou Daily: It is now fashionable to set a small goal for yourself. Do you have any small goals?

　　Peng Yuyan: I set goals for myself every year, and this year’s small goal is to surprise everyone in the entertainment industry.

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.

Tilda Swinton

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.

Leia Saidu in "It’s Half Clear This Morning."

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.

Read the original text

　　In Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, since the introduction of new energy buses, the urban noise has been reduced and the passenger experience has been more comfortable; in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, by setting up a waiting area for people and vehicles to divert traffic, "pedestrians and bicycles are crowded at the intersection" and other problems have been solved; in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, citizens ride a ride, which has become a new trend of urban travel…

　　In order to achieve the goal of "double carbon", China has always adhered to the "reduction" of energy consumption emissions and the "addition" of low-carbon transportation, and actively carried out the creation of green travel.

　　In recent years, various localities and departments have made efforts to improve the green travel environment, focusing on improving the quality of public transportation services, and people’s sense of identity, gain and happiness in choosing green travel has continued to increase. Today, the road to green travel is becoming wider and wider in China.

　　

　　Good performance, good policy –

　　Accelerate the promotion of new energy vehicles

　　When reducing pollution and carbon emissions has become a new social trend, the advantages of new energy transportation are self-evident. In recent years, China’s transportation industry has embarked on a green and low-carbon transformation, promoted the use of new energy vehicles, and vigorously adjusted the transportation structure, achieving remarkable results.

　　"The vehicle needs 53 kWh of electricity to be fully charged at one time, and it can travel 400 kilometers, which is almost enough for a week’s commute." Li Yunan, who lives in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province, recently purchased a Changan Yidong EV new energy vehicle. He said that after replacing the new car, there will be no mileage anxiety in daily use in urban areas, and he is satisfied with the low cost of use.

　　China Association of Automobile Manufacturers data show that from January to March this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 1.293 million and 1.257 million respectively, an increase of 1.4 times year-on-year, with a market share of 19.3%. As of the end of last year, the national new energy vehicle ownership reached 7.84 million.

　　Behind the continuous heating up of the new energy automobile industry is the continuous exploration of enterprises in the industry to strengthen technical research. The battery breaks through zero fire technology and creates a "seven-in-one" intelligent vehicle domain controller… Take Changan new energy vehicle as an example. In the field of new energy, it has built industry-leading R & D capabilities and has broken through more than 400 core technologies.

　　"Real money and preferential policies have provided strong support for accelerating industrial development, and our company has also obtained a lot of direct benefits." The relevant person in charge of Changan New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. told reporters that the company has gained three major benefits: First, the state provides financial subsidies for new energy vehicles. Second, the purchase tax is exempted and the vehicle and ship tax is reduced. Third, the government provides financial support for special projects in scientific and technological research and development to encourage enterprises to continuously improve product performance.

　　In small and medium-sized cities, the degree of perfection of supporting facilities is an important factor affecting consumers’ willingness to purchase new energy vehicles.

　　"As soon as I bought the new energy vehicle, the power supply company came to guide me to install the charging pile with my mobile phone, and the next day I completed the power connection." In mid-April, Wu Peng, who lives in Gedian Town, Ezhou City, Hubei Province, experienced a "fast service".

　　In order to better serve new energy vehicle owners, State Grid Hubei Electric Power has increased its charging infrastructure building efforts and strived to improve the level of social energy efficiency in the service area. From January to March this year, 42 new charging stations and 212 charging piles were put into operation, and 174 charging piles were upgraded.

　　The latest statistics from the China Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Promotion Alliance show that as of the end of February, the cumulative number of charging infrastructure in the country reached 2.864 million units, an increase of 62.9% year-on-year. Wang Yun, deputy director of the Institute of Foreign Economics of the China Academy of Macroeconomics, believes that with the continuous improvement of supporting infrastructure such as charging and replacing electricity, new energy vehicle consumption is expected to maintain a rapid development trend and help the transportation sector achieve the "double carbon" goal.

　　"Public transportation priority" is undoubtedly an important way to practice green travel. Nowadays, many places are also focusing on improving the ratio of public buses and trams in new energy cities, and rationally deploying and building charging and swapping facilities.

　　Since the beginning of this year, Linyi City has continuously improved the service facilities of new energy buses to facilitate the travel of the masses. According to the relevant person in charge of Linyi Public Transport Group, the newly added new energy buses have the advantages of lower power consumption, longer cruising range, and low noise, which can not only effectively reduce urban environmental pollution, but also provide comfortable and safe green travel services for the majority of passengers.

　　"Today’s new energy buses are so convenient, with spacious interior space, clean environment, and smoother operation than the original buses." Liu Yuqing, a resident of Linyi City, Shandong Province, said that the new energy buses are a practical and good thing for the common people, and praise the government.

　　The "14th Five-Year" Development Plan for Comprehensive Transportation Services issued by the Ministry of Transport proposes that by 2025, the proportion of new energy vehicles in urban public transportation, taxi and urban logistics distribution will reach 72%, 35% and 20% respectively. Xin Guobin, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that the next step is to continue to ensure the stable operation of the new energy vehicle industry, increase the promotion and application of efforts, start the pilot city of full electrification of public sector vehicles, and coordinate the promotion of charging infrastructure building.

　　There are many ways, the effect is strong –

　　Digital technology is deeply empowering

　　In recent years, based on the concept of green sharing and supported by digital technology, China’s urban transportation operation efficiency and service capabilities have been steadily improved, playing a prominent role in helping to achieve the "double carbon" goal.

　　"I am a die-hard user of shared bicycles, and I usually choose to ride for my daily commute, which saves time and is environmentally friendly." Ma Guang, a resident of Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, believes that in the context of "dual carbon", Internet travel service platforms are contributing to reducing traffic pressure. "Riding shared bicycles allows us users to deeply participate in environmental protection and energy conservation. Looking at the accumulated carbon reduction, I will be very fulfilled."

　　In September 2021, the "Sharing Cycling Pollution Reduction and Carbon Reduction Report" released by the Environmental Development Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment showed that in the past five years, Meituan bicycle and motorcycle users have reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 1.187 million tons, which is equivalent to reducing the carbon emissions of 270,000 private cars for one year.

　　With the popularity of green travel, the ride-hailing industry is increasingly recognized. "Now I often take a ride at work, rest better, and reduce carbon emissions." Lin Han, a "working pregnant mother" in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, believes that in the context of increasingly intelligent and shared travel methods, the environmental protection and energy saving effect of the ride-hailing industry cannot be underestimated.

　　According to the "Zero Carbon Travel" Research Report released by Didi Travel, nearly 70% of the respondents "travel with the wind" more than 3 times a week, and 98.12% of the respondents are willing to guide the people around them to practice green and low-carbon concepts.

　　At the same time, many companies are also deepening the mining and utilization of public transportation data to promote the digitization of transportation scenes. In November last year, Tencent Maps took the lead in launching the "green travel" bus portal function, realizing "one map" to connect users to the whole scene of public transportation.

　　The reporter clicked on the "Green Travel" page and found that the new bus route map is clear at a glance – the original information of other locations has been streamlined, and the visual presentation effect of transportation hubs such as bus stops, subway stations, and railway stations has become more obvious. It is understood that in the future this "bus base map" will also add more "dynamic capabilities", such as the real-time driving conditions of buses on the map, and the user mood interaction of bus stops, etc., so as to achieve the effective integration of static road information with dynamic bus flow and social information flow.

　　Some local governments and enterprises have also joined forces to use digital technology to innovate incentive mechanisms and stimulate residents’ willingness to travel green.

　　In September 2020, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, Beijing Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau and Autonavi Map jointly launched the "Green City" action. After registering to participate in the action, citizens will use public transportation, rail, and walking to automatically convert into corresponding carbon emission reductions, and can exchange bus cards, vouchers, or donate to environmental protection public welfare activities. As of March 23 this year, the event officially registered more than 1 million users, 420,000 monthly active users, and a cumulative carbon emission reduction of nearly 100,000 tons.

　　Under the guidance of the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People’s Bank of China, Meituan launched a digital RMB pilot activity in September last year with low-carbon travel as the core scenario. It is reported that users in the digital RMB pilot areas can sign up for the activity and use shared bicycles for free through digital RMB red envelopes. The accumulated number of rides can also be exchanged for more digital RMB rewards.

　　Recently, the "green semi-annual report" handed over by the pilot activity is eye-catching. Data show that the pilot activity has attracted more than 10 million users in the first half of the year, and these users have accumulated more than 70 million green cycling kilometers.

　　"This pilot event is a useful attempt to promote green and low-carbon travel through the digital yuan," said Cao Heping, a professor at the School of Economics at Peking University.

　　Industry experts predict that in the next step, digitalization will not only help the public achieve quantifiable carbon emission reductions, but also drive the low-carbon green transformation of the upstream and downstream industrial chains based on data and technological advantages, such as assisting in the construction of a comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network.

　　More convenient, faster –

　　The slow-moving system is becoming increasingly perfect

　　"Xi’an, where the spring flowers are blooming, is really beautiful. Sitting in the car every day, you can’t see such a beautiful scenery. Recently, the temperature is suitable, and cycling does not have to be blocked on the road, but also exercises and protects the environment. It really kills many birds with one stone." After the Qingming holiday, Xu Yang, a citizen of Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, changed his usual way of driving to work and started cycling to work.

　　"After suffering from traffic congestion, the travel of modern urbanites began to shift to the urban slow-moving system." Zhou Rong, director of the Institute of History, Culture and Tourism of the Xi’an Academy of Social Sciences, explained that the urban slow-moving system is an urban transportation system that takes walking, cycling and other slow travel methods as the main body of urban transportation and effectively solves problems such as fast and slow traffic conflicts.

　　Cycling is an indispensable part of the slow-moving system. Different types of bicycle lanes are designed for people with different needs, and each has its own responsibilities, not only to ensure the needs of fitness and leisure, but also to meet the functions of commuting.

　　To unlock greater urban transport resources, Xiamen in Fujian province has built the country’s first and the world’s longest air bicycle lane. From 2020 onwards, resident Lai Tingsi discovered this commuting option – riding 2.7 kilometers along the air bicycle lane to work. "At the beginning, I just had the attitude of giving it a try, but I didn’t expect it to be convenient and fast to ride down." She said that the bicycle path has no traffic lights and no motor vehicle interference, and it only takes a short ten minutes to get to work.

　　The reporter learned that there are 11 entrances and exits on the entire bicycle lane. In addition to connecting to the BRT station, it is also connected to 11 ordinary bus stations and 2 subway stations, which is convenient for cyclists to transfer at any time. In addition, the lane also has a special rest area for citizens to stop and rest and enjoy the scenery.

　　Although setting up bicycle lanes is the best solution in the eyes of cyclists, at present, in the urban center with large traffic volume, the comprehensive upgrading of the system is more realistic. In this regard, many cities have handed over good answers.

　　"After the road is renovated, it’s much more’neatly ‘!" Tang Xinzhong, who lives in Tongzhou District, Beijing, passes through Liyuan Middle Street every day, and he has a deep understanding of the changes in this road. In 2021, Liyuan Middle Street will be renovated. The original position of street trees will be converted into road dividers, and the original position of the walkway will be converted into an independent non-motorized vehicle lane. A new sidewalk will be built in the outermost green space within the red line of the road. In this way, motor vehicles, non-motorized vehicles, and pedestrians will "go their own way" without interfering with each other.

　　"Now that you’re out of the subway station, you can scan the code and ride your bike directly, and you’ll be able to go back to school soon." Xiao Zhang, a student, quickly found a shared bicycle on the subway outside of Hangzhou Agriculture and Forestry University in Zhejiang Province. Previously, because the original non-motorized parking spaces in the subway station could not meet the travel needs of teachers and students, some non-motorized vehicles often had nowhere to stop during peak periods.

　　To this end, in 2021, the Urban Management Bureau of Lin’an District, Hangzhou City established a special class to comprehensively know the real situation of the existing parking lot and surrounding vacant space in the subway station, and use drones to make aerial photos to draw topographic maps, adding more than 200 berths, effectively solving the problem of random parking of non-motor vehicles, so that the "last mile" travel is smoother.

　　It is worth mentioning that in the construction of the urban slow-moving system, the slow-moving trails also provide convenience for citizens to travel green.

　　Blossoming with flowers and trees… In Anning City, Yunnan Province, the Mantis River Slow Trail is an ecological greenway that is full of scenery everywhere. "This health trail adjacent to the Mantis River is more quiet. It is equipped with rest areas, observation platforms, etc., suitable for citizens who like to watch the scenery and take a leisurely walk." Jiang Qi, head of the Landscaping Management Section of the Anning City Administration, said.

　　According to reports, during the construction of the slow walking trail, the relevant departments of Kunming City made overall planning to integrate the trail with the natural and cultural landscapes as much as possible. According to the relevant person in charge, Kunming City built a slow walking trail around Dianchi Lake around Xinghai Peninsula, Baofeng Peninsula and Fubao Peninsula, which was completed at the end of last year and is currently undergoing partial optimization of the slow walking trail.

　　"The slow walking trails have good air and beautiful scenery, and there are various flowers blooming in different seasons. Every time I take a walk here, I feel very happy." Speaking of the slow walking trails added in Kunming in recent years, Li Xunfei, a citizen, said with emotion.

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.
