Apple industry transformation problem: weak disaster resistance and insufficient planting scale

On August 28th, fruit farmers packed apples in Fangxiang Village, Yongxiang Town, Luochuan County, Shaanxi Province. Xinhua News Agency reporter Tao Mingshe

  Since the beginning of this year, the price of apples has continued to rise, which is due to natural disasters such as frost, which led to the reduction of production in the main apple producing areas. This reflects that the apple industry has a weak ability to resist natural disasters and market risks, and at the same time faces rising costs such as labor and land. A few days ago, the Economic Daily reporter walked into the main apple producing areas to learn about the problems encountered in the transformation of the apple industry.

  Since the beginning of this year, due to tight supply, the price of apples has been rising continuously. The average monthly retail price of first-class red Fuji apples in Shaanxi market was once close to 9 yuan per catty. Why is the supply of apples suddenly reduced? What are the challenges facing the development of Apple industry? The Economic Daily reporter recently came to Shaanxi, one of the main producing areas of apples, to find out the source.

  The ability to resist natural disasters needs to be strengthened.

  "At present, the total planting area of apples in China is about 38 million mu, and the output of Bohai Rim region and Loess Plateau region accounts for more than 85% of the total output of apples in China." Cha Yangliang, the stationmaster of Xianyang Horticulture Station in Shaanxi Province and the stationmaster of Xianyang Comprehensive Experimental Station of National Apple Industry System, told the reporter.

  More than 10 years ago, Shandong ranked first in the country with more than 9 million mu of apple planting area. In recent years, with the adjustment of planting area, the apple planting area in Shaanxi Province has developed rapidly, reaching 10 million mu at present. The output of apples in Gansu has also increased to be second only to Shaanxi and Shandong.

  With the transfer of planting area and the expansion of planting area, the influence of weather on apple planting has become more and more prominent. In the face of natural disasters such as frost, gale and hail, the defense ability of the existing technology is very limited. In April, 2018, Shaanxi apples suffered a frost that had not happened for many years during the flowering period, resulting in a large reduction in production, which became one of the main reasons for the sharp price increase of apples this year.

  According to reports, more than 20 years ago, the flowering period of apples in Xianyang, Shaanxi Province was mostly in mid-April, a little later than now, and the probability of encountering frost was small. However, with the change of environment and temperature, the flowering period tends to advance, which leads to the annual flowering period just encountering frost in recent years.

  "Traditional methods mainly rely on measures such as smoking and spraying water to alleviate the impact of frost, but last year, we encountered a longer and lower temperature frost, and these methods could not solve it." Cha Yangliang said that researchers are now studying delaying flowering to avoid frost, such as watering apples before they sprout in spring to delay germination, and then delaying flowering to avoid frost. However, this method needs to comprehensively consider the actual situation of water shortage in the Loess Plateau and the possible cost increase.

  Experts believe that there are multiple factors behind the transfer of apple’s main producing area to high altitude areas, and the shift from pursuing "high yield" to pursuing "high quality" is one of the core driving forces.

  At the same time, the pressure of planting structure transformation is increasing. Liquan County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province is a famous production base of high-quality apples in China and the largest fruit distribution center in northwest China, with an annual output of millions of tons of apples and an annual distribution of more than 3 million tons of fruits. Cui Haiyang, chief engineer of the Fruit Industry Bureau of Liquan County, told the reporter: "Early and middle ripe apples in Liquan County only account for 17.5% of the total apple area, forming ‘ Shortage of early maturity, insufficient middle maturity and excessive late maturity ’ The variety pattern of. The proportion of late-maturing varieties is too large, and the listing is concentrated, which makes the fruit sales pressure increase. Therefore, we are now focusing on accelerating the transformation of fruit structure. "

  Scale development should also reduce labor costs

  For a long time, insufficient planting scale is an important factor restricting the development of modern apple industry. Nowadays, in the northern counties of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, the trend of large planters and social capital developing large-scale planting through land transfer is becoming more and more obvious. It is understood that there are more than 20 enterprises with an apple planting scale of more than 500 mu in Xianyang; There are more than 100 large-scale farmers, cooperatives and enterprises.

  Zhang Zhaolong, head of production of Shaanxi Fruit Industry Group Liquan Co., Ltd., told reporters that the company’s planting base has transferred 1,000 mu of land, of which 800 mu is planted with apples, and the rest are planted with peaches and grapes. This year’s apple output is expected to reach about 500,000 Jin.

  The reporter walked in the planting base of Shaanxi Fruit Industry Group Liquan Co., Ltd. and found that there was a sharp contrast between the two sides of the road: on the one hand, there was an orchard planted on a large scale, with tall and straight fruit trees and plump apples; On the other side is the farmer’s own orchard, with sparse leaves and thin fruit. "Many young people have gone out to work, and there is a lack of manpower at home. The orchard is neglected and even abandoned." Zhang Zhaolong said.

  "Once young people go out to work, they rarely come back to grow apples. Why? Earn a lot outside, and it is not as hard as planting fruit trees, and the risk is still great. " A local villager told reporters.

  The advantages of large-scale planting are obvious, but it is followed by problems such as increased land transfer costs and shortage of manpower. "We have hired more than 40 people, and the per capita salary is about 3,000 yuan. The salary cost of employees will be more than 1.5 million yuan a year." Zhang Zhaolong said that the company is starting to build a new orchard, which can better realize mechanized operation. After completion, it is expected to reduce the labor cost by about 70%.

  Cha Yangliang said that at present, both apple planting techniques and management methods are developing in the direction of saving labor. For example, in the past, it was mostly artificial fruit thinning, but now it can greatly save labor by spraying flower thinning agent; The labor-intensive bagging technology of apples will gradually be replaced by bagging-free cultivation technology.

  Strengthen the industrial chain to resist market risks

  In addition to the challenges in production, the storage and sales of the Apple industry still need to strengthen the chain. Experts believe that at present, the storage of apples in cold storage accounts for a low proportion of production in China. If the storage capacity of cold storage can be further improved, the sales chain will be lengthened, the ability to cope with production risks and market fluctuations will be improved, the risk of unsalable sales will be reduced, and the interests of fruit farmers will be better safeguarded.

  Bai Pingjun, the person in charge of cold storage management of Shaanxi Qingfeng Modern Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. told the reporter, "Our cold storage scale is about 10,000 tons, and the storage cost is about 2 cents per catty. Last year, the fruit was greatly reduced by the disaster, and only 70% of the cold storage was used; This year’s fruit harvest is expected, and the reserves will definitely be even greater. "

  Now in Liquan, there are 105 modern cold storages like this, with a storage capacity of 350,000 tons, an annual supply period of 10 months, and an annual storage appreciation of over 100 million yuan. At the same time, Liquan has also built more than 200 fruit packaging bags, packing boxes and foam net factories, becoming the largest production base of fruit packaging materials in northwest China.

  "Although the Liquan apple industry has been developing steadily and the industrial chain has been continuously improved for many years, there are still some problems. For example, fruit enterprises generally have problems such as small scale of operation and weak processing value-added ability, and lack deep processing projects such as fruit vinegar, fruit wine and preserved fruit. " Cui Haiyang said that at present, we are fully implementing the cultivation project of new fruit business entities, supporting a number of new fruit business entities with the integration of primary and secondary industries, moderate scale and diversified operations, cultivating a model family farm, demonstration cooperative and demonstration agricultural industrialization consortium, and promoting the continuous upgrading of Liquan fruit industry.

  "Compared with the past, Apple’s sales channels are wider, but off-site sales, retail and wholesale are still the mainstream, and the proportion of e-commerce sales and direct docking of production and marketing is very limited. This situation has restricted the further development of the Apple industry. " Cha Yangliang said that to further broaden the sales channels, it is necessary to connect farmers with family farms and cooperatives more closely, reduce management costs through scale, and realize fruit classification. Under the support of large-scale production and quality classification, it will bring more opportunities for sales and make growers more profitable, thus forming a virtuous circle.

Now that the flu vaccine is in place, let’s talk about the flu virus and this year’s flu vaccine.

1. How terrible is the flu? Why do you suggest vaccination?

Influenza (influenza for short) is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus. It is spread by airborne droplets and people are generally susceptible, and influenza can kill people.

74251692918862241

A considerable number of people don’t take the flu seriously, thinking that it is just a slightly worse cold.

In fact, the seasonal epidemic of influenza every year can lead to 3-5 million severe cases and 290,000-650,000 deaths worldwide. The annual influenza attack rate of adults in the world can reach 5%-10%, and that of children is as high as 20%.

This means that in the high season of influenza, one in every 10 adults is infected with influenza; One out of every five children will get the flu. And influenza will break out every 10-40 years, causing serious health and economic burden.

For example, in the United States, on average, 36,000 people die of influenza every year, which is more than deaths caused by alcohol or traffic accidents. As far as the United States is concerned, the annual economic losses caused directly or indirectly by the flu are as much as $7 billion.

In recent years, the incidence and mortality of influenza in China have shown a steep upward trend. According to the data of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in the first five months of 2019 alone, the number of reported cases of influenza reached 1.77 million, exceeding the total number of reported cases of influenza in the past four years.

In the past February and March of 2023, the positive rate of influenza virus detection exceeded 25.1%, forming a large-scale epidemic.

Vaccination against influenza every year is the most effective means to prevent influenza, which can significantly reduce the risk of influenza and serious complications. Therefore, WHO suggests that people should be vaccinated every year to prevent influenza and its complications.

30511692918862600

However, in China, the importance of influenza vaccine has not been fully recognized by the whole society. Influenza vaccine is a self-funded "non-immunization program vaccine" with a low vaccination rate.

Second, how to vaccinate to prevent influenza virus more effectively?

1. Inoculate every year

Influenza virus is easy to mutate. In order to match the ever-changing influenza virus, the influenza vaccine recommended by the World Health Organization will update one or more strains in most seasons, and the vaccine strains are exactly the same as those in the previous epidemic season.

In order to ensure the maximum protection of the vaccinated population, even if the composition of influenza vaccine is exactly the same as that of the previous epidemic season, considering that the immunity of most vaccinators will gradually weaken over time, influenza vaccine still needs to be vaccinated every year.

2. Inoculate in advance

Clinically, the season in which influenza occurs most often varies according to different regions. In China, the annual cycle of influenza changes with the increase of the latitude of the earth. Generally, it is more prevalent in the northern provinces above 33 degrees north latitude, with the peak in January and February every year, and the southernmost provinces south of 27 degrees north latitude have the peak in April and June every year. In the mid-latitude areas between the two, there are two very obvious flu peaks every year.

Usually after 2-4 weeks of influenza vaccination, antibodies with protective level can be produced. Therefore, it is recommended to vaccinate the influenza vaccine 1-2 months before the peak of influenza epidemic every year, so as to effectively play the protective role of the vaccine.

3. Inoculation on demand

Besides trivalent and tetravalent influenza vaccines, there are also three types of influenza vaccines: children, adults and general vaccines, and even the vaccination methods are different. You can choose the most suitable seasonal influenza vaccine for vaccination according to your own situation.

99741692918862786

Three, ten hot issues of influenza vaccine

1. How many shots should the flu vaccine take every year?

It depends on age:

Children and adults aged 9 and above:Only one dose is needed;

Children aged 6 months to 8 years:Children aged 6 months to 8 years who are vaccinated for the first time or have been vaccinated with influenza vaccine below 2 doses in the past should be vaccinated with 2 doses, with an interval of ≥4 weeks; Children who have been vaccinated with 2 or more doses of influenza vaccine before are recommended to be vaccinated with 1 dose.

8421692918862885

2. Can I get the flu vaccine if I am allergic to eggs or milk?

In all authoritative documents and guidelines at home and abroad, people who are allergic to eggs are not considered as taboos for influenza vaccination.

In fact, if you are allergic to any food, you can get the flu vaccine normally. There is no need to confirm whether you are allergic to a certain food before vaccination. If you have allergic symptoms that require urgent medical intervention after eating eggs, such as anaphylactic shock, it is recommended to vaccinate in medical institutions that identify and manage serious allergic diseases.

3. Who really can’t get the flu vaccine?

Those who are allergic to the ingredients contained in the vaccine include excipients, formaldehyde, Triton X-100, etc. Other people with severe allergies; Those with a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome; Patients with uncontrolled epilepsy and other progressive neurological diseases.

In addition, critically ill patients with various diseases should be used with caution; Patients with acute fever, acute infection and acute attack of chronic diseases should be vaccinated after recovery. For different kinds of vaccines from different manufacturers, the vaccination contraindications listed in the instructions are slightly different. Please refer to the vaccine instructions for details.

Special attention should be paid to the contraindications of live attenuated influenza vaccine.(At present, only nasal spray influenza is an attenuated live vaccine listed in China):

① Persons with low immune function due to drug use, HIV infection and other reasons;

② Children and adolescents who have been treated with drugs containing aspirin or salicylic acid for a long time;

③ Children with asthma aged 2-4 years;

4 pregnant women;

⑤ Patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) history;

⑥ Those who used antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir and zanamivir 48 hours before inoculation, or those who used palamivir 5 days before inoculation, or those who used balofloxacin 17 days before inoculation.

4. Will you still get the flu after the flu vaccine?

This is possible, because the virus circulating in some areas may not be the influenza virus contained in the vaccine. In addition, it should be noted that influenza vaccine can only prevent influenza, but not the common cold at the same time.

5. Is it necessary to have an interval of more than one year between influenza vaccination and last year’s influenza vaccination?

"Vaccination every year" does not mean that this year’s influenza vaccination time must be a whole year apart from last year’s. Accurately speaking, the "year" here refers to "every flu season that spans natural years".

The influenza vaccine of the current season will be listed before the epidemic season of that year, and it can usually be vaccinated in August and September, and the validity period will end in March of the following year. That is to say, the flu vaccine given in August and September of that year was the same batch as that given before March of the following year. The flu vaccine in August and September of the following year is the next epidemic season.

Then, if you were vaccinated in August and September of that year, you don’t need to be vaccinated in March of the following year. On the contrary, if you were vaccinated before March of the following year, you still need to be vaccinated in August and September of the following year. There is no saying that the interval must be one year, mainly depending on whether the vaccine you are vaccinated belongs to the season.

6. Can people who have had the flu within one year get the flu vaccine?

Having a history of influenza in the past is not a taboo for vaccination. In addition, influenza viruses are prone to mutation, so it is possible to prevent influenza viruses prevalent in the current season by vaccination. Therefore, vaccination is still needed.

7. Can I get a flu vaccine during pregnancy and lactation?

A large number of studies at home and abroad have confirmed that "pregnant women have a higher risk of severe illness, death and adverse pregnancy outcome after suffering from influenza", that is, if pregnant women are infected with influenza virus, it may bring serious harm to both the fetus and themselves.

Therefore, pregnant women should be vaccinated against influenza more than others. And pregnant women can be vaccinated with inactivated influenza vaccine at any stage of pregnancy. If you are pregnant or plan to be pregnant during the flu season, you should get the flu vaccine.

Under the premise of the instructions, lactating women can also be vaccinated with influenza vaccine, and they can breastfeed normally after vaccination.

8. What is the difference between different influenza vaccines?

At present, there are trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV3), tetravalent inactivated influenza vaccine (IIV4) and trivalent attenuated live vaccine (LAIV3) that have been approved for marketing, among which IIV3 includes split vaccine and subunit vaccine, and IIV4 is split vaccine, and attenuated vaccine is the nasal spray vaccine mentioned earlier.

The difference between inactivated vaccine and attenuated live vaccine is that the former does not contain active virus components while the latter contains attenuated virus components. They can all trigger the immune response of the human body.

In addition, at present, the inactivated and attenuated influenza vaccines listed in China are inoculated in different ways: the inactivated vaccine is intramuscular injection, and the attenuated live vaccine is intranasal spraying.

The difference between trivalent and tetravalent is that the latter has one more pedigree of influenza B than the former (which can be simply understood as preventing one more strain of influenza B virus), and there is no difference in the preventive effect of influenza A contained in the latter. All of them can be inoculated to prevent influenza, and there is no priority recommendation, that is, when the vaccine is available, whatever is used can be chosen voluntarily according to their own conditions.

9. There is a scheduling conflict between influenza vaccine and other vaccines. Which vaccines can be vaccinated at the same time?

Inactivated influenza vaccine, other inactivated vaccines and attenuated live vaccines, such as pneumococcal vaccine, live attenuated herpes zoster vaccine, varicella vaccine, measles vaccine and DTP vaccine, can be inoculated in different parts at the same time;

After vaccination with live attenuated influenza vaccine, other live attenuated influenza vaccines can only be vaccinated after an interval of more than 28 days;

Older people over 65 can be vaccinated with influenza vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine at the same time.

Other special provisions shall be subject to the vaccine instructions of specific manufacturers.

10. After taking antibiotics and antiviral drugs, how long will it take to get the flu vaccine?

There is no taboo to get flu vaccine after antibiotic use.

However, taking influenza antiviral drugs 48 hours before vaccination is not recommended (it can be vaccinated after 48 hours).

Although there are a few very small and low-quality literature reports that taking antibiotics may reduce the immune response of influenza vaccine, it is not clear whether this has clinical significance or not, and it has not yet become a consensus.

But then again, if you are taking medicine, the high probability is that you are unwell or even in the acute stage of the disease, then it is recommended to suspend vaccination. At least wait until the symptoms improve and the condition is stable, or consider vaccination after stopping taking medicine.

Domestic drama "Going to Sea" grasps the emotional commonality.

  In 2015, Empresses in the Palace, directed by Zheng Xiaolong, became the first TV series in China to be copyrighted by Netflix. This incident made domestic film and television creators begin to seek "going out to sea". In recent years, online dramas such as White Night Chasing the Murder, River God, TV series nirvana in fire, and My Parting have gained a good amount of on-demand on foreign video websites. The Longest Day In Chang’an, which is popular in China this year, also landed on Viki, Amazon and Youtube in the form of "pay-per-view". On October 21st, The Untamed, who has been burning for a summer, appeared on the homepage of Netflix’s official website.

  On October 31, at the Sichuan TV Festival being held in Chengdu, a forum on "going out to sea" of domestic film and television dramas — — China Film and Television Overseas Communication Forum focuses on the overseas communication of China film and television, and discusses the opportunities and challenges for China film and television to go to sea.

  The "Overseas Journey" of Domestic Drama Led by Masterpieces

  In fact, the road of "going out to sea" for domestic dramas began in the 1980s. Yang Jie, the director of the 86th edition of The Journey to the West, brought the seventh episode of "Collecting Pigs and Eight Rings" from The Journey to the West to Japan when he participated in the Tokyo TV Festival. Subsequently, this TV series has been exported to Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Ghana, Tanzania, Nepal and other countries, becoming the first TV series exported to the world in China.

  During the same period, the TV series exported overseas also included Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was exported to Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and other neighboring countries. Considering the cultural differences, the overseas version of the play has been re-edited, reducing the original 84 episodes to 19 episodes, and adding cultural commentary at the beginning and end of the film.

  By the 1990s, with the IP of Jin Yong’s and Qiong Yao’s novels in China, costume dramas such as Princess Huanzhu and Condor Heroes went overseas. In 2015, "Why Shengxiao Mo" was broadcast as the first domestic idol drama to appear in the mainstream Korean media MBC. In 2018, "Little Separation" was broadcast on the Asian film and television channel in Mongolia, reaching the top of the ratings list at the same time; The explosion "Story of Yanxi Palace" was broadcast simultaneously on Zing TV, the largest video website in Vietnam, and the broadcast progress exceeded that in China.

  Grasping the emotional commonality "should be one country, one policy"

  "Grasp the commonness of all mankind and be driven by emotion." At yesterday’s forum, Hu Zhengrong, editor-in-chief of China Education Television, particularly emphasized emotion when talking about "China’s film and television works going out". Hu Zhengrong recalled that when The Beautiful Times of My Daughter-in-law was broadcasted in Tanzania, he interviewed in Africa. When the local people saw the girls in China, they said "Doudou" (the heroine’s name in The Beautiful Times of My Daughter-in-law), which showed the popularity of this work in Tanzania.

  What surprised him most, however, was the awareness that the drama brought to Tanzanian audience about China. "They said that after watching this drama, they realized that there was also a contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in China." Hu Zhengrong said frankly that China’s external communication is more about being tall, and this drama has made the local people understand the ups and downs of Chinese and the contradictions between people, which are precisely the commonness of human beings. Only by grasping the commonness of all mankind and grasping emotions can we communicate and communicate better.

  Hu Zhengrong also pointed out that the number of film and television works "going out to sea" is large enough, but some works still lack accurate positioning in international communication. Many countries still have the impression of China, such as costume drama, delicious food, Tai Ji Chuan and Peking Opera. "China has many rich cultural mines, but how to present the world significance of the contemporary value of China culture? It is a challenge to convey the contemporary value of China culture and the significance of world dialogue. " In his view, it should be "one country, one policy". For example, different countries such as the United States, Tanzania, Kenya and Britain have different concepts, and audiences like different dramas.

  Localization, localization story to strengthen overseas cooperation

  In recent years, hit dramas such as Ode to Joy, Wenzhou Family and nirvana in fire produced by Shandong Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. have been broadcast abroad. Talking about Shanying’s experience of "going out to sea", Wu Xuesong, general manager of Shanying, emphasized "localization, localization". He cited "Wenzhou Family" in 2012 as an example, which was broadcast in Korea, France, Kazakhstan, Japan and other countries.

  Wu Xuesong recalled that the screenwriter of The Wenzhou Family was the famous screenwriter Gao Mantang, who emphasized "to show the real China characters". At the time of creation, because of his unfamiliarity with the south and business, Gao Mantang read more than 1 meter of reference materials, and then went to Wenzhou and Europe to interview and collect stories of Wenzhou people. Finally, Gao Mantang decided that this drama should not be a commercial war film, but should be a story of a nobody in the era and show China after the reform and opening up.

  Wu Xuesong said that in addition to improving the quality of production in recent years, Shanying has another important means to exchange and cooperate with foreign film and television institutions, such as co-shooting, exhibiting, and investing in the acquisition of well-known overseas independent film and television companies. "We shoot film and television cultural products with China elements and use film and television dramas to convey China culture."

  Domestic variety shows have changed from simply selling copyrights to exporting programs.

  As the representative of the platform, Zhang Lina, the editor-in-chief of Alibaba Entertainment Youku, believes that many works produced by Youku in recent years have successfully gone to sea, such as The Longest Day In Chang’an, the pursuit of murder in a white night, and the reason is to convey truth, goodness and beauty, which is the common spiritual connotation of global culture.

  Zhang Lina said that domestic film and television producers are learning American TV dramas and English TV dramas, and they also envy the industrialization of offline film and television in China. And The Longest Day In Chang’an made an exploration, and the hit of this drama led to the tourism fever in Xi ‘an. For foreign audiences, through the broadcast of the drama series, they also learned what Datang is and what the spirit of Datang is.

  Zhang Lina also specifically mentioned the importance of data. On the one hand, Youku has been cooperating with large foreign new media platforms in recent years to find the preferences of local young people from the data. On the other hand, domestic film and television dramas, including variety shows, no longer simply sell copyrights, but gradually export copyrights. For example, the program mode of "This is Dunk" produced by Youku was successfully exported to the United States, the country of basketball.

DC superhero movies are big, Batman Superman and Woman fit together to fight monsters.

1905 movie network news The DC superhero movie (Justice League) produced by Warner Bros. will be released in North America on November 17th. The coolest superhero in DC comics organized a group to save the world. Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyberborg, and other powerful alliances, just imagining the scene of their simultaneous enlargement and recruitment makes people excited. "Justice League" is the fifth work of the restarted DC movie universe. Before that, four movies have made amazing appearances, each with its own wonderful performance. In a few days, the National Day Golden Week will be held, and there will be a sea of people in the tourist attractions. Instead of going out to count people, it is better to stay on the sofa and relive DC classics, talk about ideals with Superman, talk about life with Batman, save the world with wonder woman, and look forward to the Flash by the way.

 

DC Movie Universe: Unique Screen Aesthetics and Charming Roles

 

DC Comics Company is an American comic giant, founded in 1934. DC owns dozens of superheroes such as Superman and Batman, and their stories and backgrounds form a unified world view, which is called DC Universe. In 2014, Warner Bros., the parent company of DC, announced that it would build a DC movie universe, and several movies will be released before 2020. At present, four works, such as (Man of Steel), (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, hereinafter referred to as "Bat Super"), (Suicide Squad) and (Wonder Woman), have been released one after another. Superidols that have been popular all over the world for nearly a century have begun to

"Justice League"

 

Superman: The Man of Steel

Global box office: $668 million

 

Superman is the first comic superhero in the world, and it is also a far-reaching cultural symbol. In 2013, Superman: The Body of Steel recounted Superman’s hesitation and growth from an alien orphan to the patron saint of mankind. Henry Cavill, a handsome and burly man, has created a widely recognized guardian of the earth, and his grand narrative with an opera style transcends the level of popcorn movies, which is memorable.

 

This is also the first time that the famous director Zack Snyder has been a director in the restarted DC movie universe. Later, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League were also produced by him. Zach Schneider opened a new era of visual effects with the amazing painting style of (300) thick colors. His films are often dark and show the texture like oil painting, and the bloody violent action scenes can be extremely elegant and gorgeous. The unique violent aesthetics has captured hundreds of millions of fans.

 

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Global box office: $873 million

 

In 2016, "Bat Chao" set the story after "Superman: The Body of Steel", telling that Superman became the guardian of mankind and was regarded as a god-like existence, but the great destructive power accompanying it worried Batman. Under the provocation of Lex Luthor, a rich man with ulterior motives, Batman and Superman turned against each other and started the most hearty "mutual tearing" in history.

 

The audience who watched the film will remember the duel between the two heroes vividly. The explosion, destruction and battle of conan the destroyer almost overturned the cinema, and the epic audio-visual texture was stirring. And wonder woman’s big screen appeared for the first time, which became a bright color to refresh the mind.

 

Wonder Woman

Global box office: $821 million

 

Wonder Woman tells the legendary experience of wonder woman Diana Prince, a princess of the mysterious Amazon and a demigod. The American pilot who accidentally broke into Paradise Island became an opportunity for wonder woman to enter the human world. After defeating Ares, the god of war who provoked the First World War, wonder woman became one of the most reliable guardians of mankind.

Batman, The Flash, wonder woman.

 

For a long time, superhero movies featuring men have been more appealing, but Wonder Woman broke through the convention and surprised the world. This year, Wonder Woman won the summer file championship with 400 million US dollars in the United States, and the global box office broke 800 million US dollars, making it the most eye-catching pearl this summer. The audience in China also expressed their recognition of the heroine with a box office of over 600 million RMB. What is particularly rare is that Wonder Woman has won the highest praise from the DC movie universe so far, and it is "shared by both men and women". Gal Gadot created perhaps the most powerful and beautiful woman in history: in the ranks of superheroes, the pride of "women hold up half the sky" finally came!

 

Justice League

The world will be released soon

 

After layers of preparation, Justice League will finally make its grand debut in the long-awaited event. The combination of DC’s most famous superheroes is undoubtedly the biggest highlight. Batman, wonder woman, The Flash, Neptune, Ganggu and so on all have their own charisma, and after the combination, it is a "luxury package" that makes fans feel happy. This team has super dominance in land, sea and air, inside and outside the earth, and can be called "the strongest team in the universe". The confrontation between good and evil, which matches their abilities, is bound to be a dramatic audio-visual gluttony.

 

Justice League is another masterpiece of Zach Schneider. After the exploration of Superman: The Man of Steel and Bat Chao, Schneider will carry forward the aesthetic of violence with epic texture, and the narrative and role-building will be more mature and vivid. And Joss Whedon, who directed the first two films of The Avengers, joined the screenwriter, which is also expected to add more wonderful and new ideas to the story of Justice League.

Holiday double egg welfare: the main creative interview tidbits exposed SHCC spread to the surrounding area

 

Today, the film exposed the interview tidbits of the main creator of Justice League at the San Diego Comic Con, and the stars shared their first reactions when they learned that they had won the role, which was full of fun. "wonder woman" Gal Gadot revealed that he was so happy that he screamed, and the plane he was on just landed, which made people very sympathetic to the frightened passengers on the same plane; "Steel Bone" Ray Fisher restored his first reaction with a high decibel scream; "Batman" Ben Affleck sincerely lamented that he was the happiest person in the world.

 

During the National Day, fans will also be able to get in touch with Justice League and get peripheral products through SHCC comic exhibition. SHCC, Shanghai Comic Convention, is a popular cultural brand sponsored by Beijing Reed Exhibition Co., Ltd. and launched by ReedPOP, a world-renowned planning team for popular cultural exhibitions in China. This year’s exhibition will be held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Hall from October 5 to 7. "Justice League" will be deeply involved. It will not only be on the cover of the comic exhibition, but also show a lot of behind-the-scenes content, and will also play a long preview. Fans can get around precious movies by playing VR games on the spot, scanning codes to follow the official Weibo and WeChat. On October 7th, a cosplay performance of Justice League will be held on the main stage. Well-known radio anchors will interpret the DC movie universe on the spot, and fans can also get around by participating in the live interaction and take photos.

Come and Pick the new director, and the 1 billion box office debut opportunity is in your hands.


Special feature of 1905 film network This may be the first time that Xiao Dianjun has been looking forward to the summer vacation since graduation.

 

Why should I ask? The reason is simple, this summer’s movies are worth looking forward to! In two words, it is "wonderful"!

 

You don’t believe me? Xiao Dianjun will analyze it for you.

 

I believe that the first thing on many people’s must-see list is — — Ok.

Not to mention the joining of the powerful actors, the word "Director Jiang Wen" alone is "sexy" enough, not to mention that Eddie Peng Yuyan randomly shows an eight-pack abdominal muscle, which can be said to be quite "attractive".

When Xiao Dianjun interviewed the screenwriter Li Fei before, he learned that the style of this film would be closer. When "Let Bullets Fly" was released in 2010, it won 636 million box office and became the champion of Chinese movie box office that year.

Nowadays, "Evil Doesn’t Suppress Righteousness" is released in summer, and the box office ambition is directed at 1 billion. As for whether it can replicate last year’s market performance, this is also what everyone is paying attention to.

 

Of course, there is definitely more than one Chinese film directed at the box office of 1 billion.

 

Tsui Hark’s "Di Renjie" series will return again! To tell the truth, this series is Xiao Dianjun’s personal favorite Chinese commercial film, and Xu Laoguai has been trying to play various new film techniques in recent years. Even so, the plot content can guarantee enough wonders.

However, I sincerely hope that the Andy Lau version of Di Renjie will return at an early date.

 

The first two works in this series won 286 million box office and 600 million box office respectively. Previously, it was shown in the National Day file, and this time the re-election is in the summer file. I wonder if the results will be by going up one flight of stairs.

These two works have been sharpened by famous directors for many years, which has given Xiao Dianjun infinite expectations.

 

It’s just a pity that Xiao Dianjun got reliable news that Zhang Yimou’s new work originally planned for summer release may be postponed for a while. However, in the first notice released a while ago, it looks very good.

The old man abandoned the "big dye vat" this time. I don’t know what surprise it will bring to the audience.

 

In addition to the works of the above-mentioned veteran directors, Xiao Dianjun’s must-see list also includes a wave of works from "new people".

 

Don’t underestimate the performance of "new people", because Jason Wu was still a new director when he made Wolf Warriors 2. Generally speaking, to see the possibility of a director, we must first look at their first three works.

Therefore, Xiao Dianjun Pick up the works of four new directors for everyone. Whoever can win the 1 billion debut depends on everyone’s choice.

 

These four works are very topical before they are officially released, which is no less than the popularity of other films. However, now it seems that the popularity rankings of these films are a little unexpected for Xiao Dianjun.

As can be seen from the above table, Bo Huang’s works, which were originally thought to be grounded and recognized by the public, will have a high popularity. As a result, except for the popularity of Douban in The Island, the data of the other two ticketing platforms are not ideal.

 

It seems that Mr. Bo Huang’s pre-suspense-style propaganda has not sunk well into the third-and fourth-tier cities. But even so, Xiao Dianjun still thinks that it will be a late-stage force and become a dark horse in this summer’s file.

Unexpectedly, two works with relatively low popularity in Douban have high popularity on other platforms. Especially, when it is difficult for more and more people to have confidence in the quality of this sentimental movie, it can still earn the expectations of many viewers through "ten years of feelings".

 

So, which newcomer can have the last laugh this summer? Xiao Dianjun once again turned on the magic stick mode and had a few words with you.

 

Dying to Survive

Competitors:,

Possibility of explosion point: 75%

 

At first glance, our schedule is the safest of the four films at present. At present, there are 4 movies scheduled for July 6th, and only "Grand Prix 2" will have a certain impact on it. Of course, Animal World, which was released a week earlier, still poses a relative threat to it.

Han Yan directed Mangai’s works again. Although the style is different, according to the insiders, Animal World is better this time. It can be seen that it is still very possible for a long time to reach the second week.

 

At the same time, after the box office and word-of-mouth losses of the first series, the overall performance was flat.

 

Although TFBOYS are gathered in the cards of "Grand Prix 2", as far as Xiao Dianjun knows, more fans of the three little ones don’t pay the bill. It seems that this most critical purchasing power will be discounted. The first film finally closed at 382 million box office. Now it is still one month away from the release, and the publicity is far from as hot as the previous film. Therefore, we have to draw a question mark here to maintain the box office performance of the first film.

On the contrary, from the very beginning, Dying to Survive grasped the two trump cards of Xú Zhēng and Ning Hao. Especially for Xú Zhēng, this is his third producer work this year. The first two producer works (and) have accumulated more than 1.1 billion box office, which has been recognized by many audiences in terms of word of mouth.

With a solid foundation in the early stage, the audience will naturally have confidence in this work.

 

Not only that, Ning Hao also joined hands as producer. It is worth noting that this work is the second work in the "72 Change Movie Plan" launched by Bad Monkey Film in Ning Hao. The first work was released last summer. What’s important is that the word "Ning Hao" has always been the guarantee of business and word of mouth, and the films directed by myself have proved the strength of its input-output ratio again and again.

Now Dying to Survive has officially started the road show mode. Although the whole film has not been shown publicly for the time being, we can feel from the 40-minute footage exposed during the road show that the quality of the film will be guaranteed.

Moreover, in this movie, Cass used powerful actors. In the feedback of watching movies on campus in the early stage, many viewers not only praised Xú Zhēng’s performance frequently, but also specifically mentioned Eric Wang’s performance. Here, Xiao Dianjun digress, Eric Wang has become more and more immortal in recent years, and his role as a "messenger" in the movie can be described as very arresting. After that, I was not afraid of being set up by others, and I became a different person in the entertainment circle. I hope this work can help you to know the actor Eric Wang, not Sekitani Kamiki.

However, in terms of subject matter, compared with the comedies before Xú Zhēng and Ning Hao, Dying to Survive’s work is adapted from a true story, which seems to be more social realism. Therefore, whether it can attract more audiences into the cinema like comedies in the past is also the key to its long-term sales.

  On April 18th, the National Bureau of Statistics of China released data. According to the preliminary calculation, the gross domestic product (GDP) of China in the first quarter of this year was 270.178 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 4.8% at constant prices. On April 13th, China General Administration of Customs released data showing that the total import and export value of goods trade in China in the first quarter was 9.42 trillion yuan, up 10.7% year-on-year. In the face of multiple risk challenges, China’s economy faced difficulties and got off to a smooth start, which attracted great attention from foreign media.

  Growth exceeded expectations

  "Exceeding expectations" — — In recent days, China’s latest economic report card has attracted great attention from foreign media.

  Reuters said that in the first quarter, China’s GDP increased by 4.8% year-on-year, exceeding the 4.4% predicted by analysts and higher than the 4% in the fourth quarter of last year; China’s GDP increased by 1.3% in the first quarter, higher than the 0.6% predicted by analysts.

  Tass news agency pointed out that in the first quarter, in the face of multiple tests brought about by the increasingly complicated and severe international environment and frequent domestic epidemics, China’s national economy continued to recover its development trend and its economic operation was generally stable. There are foundations and conditions for China to achieve 5.5% economic growth this year.

  According to the report on the website of Nihon Keizai Shimbun, China’s fixed asset investment remained firm in the first quarter, with an increase of 9.3%, of which infrastructure investment increased by 8.5%, which pushed China’s economic growth to exceed expectations. In addition, exports have also become the main factor driving the economy upward.

  China’s foreign trade data in the first quarter has also become a hot topic in foreign media.

  China’s exports of goods increased by 13.4% and imports by 7.5% in the first quarter of this year, according to Latin American News Agency. China’s export trade shows vitality and promotes a smooth start of foreign trade.

  The New Indian Express reported that China’s foreign trade continued to grow in the first quarter despite the complicated international situation and the severe epidemic situation in COVID-19.

  The French newspaper Echo pointed out that China’s export situation is good. ASEAN became China’s largest trading partner again in the first quarter.

  The Russian newspaper Rodong noted that since the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) came into effect on January 1 this year, the trade volume between China and RCEP member countries has increased steadily. In the first quarter, China’s import and export trade with other 14 RCEP member countries increased by 6.9% year-on-year, reaching 2.86 trillion yuan.

  "China’s economy started strongly in 2022." Cnn pointed out. CNBC quoted analysts as saying that it is still full of confidence in the long-term resilience and vitality of China’s economy.

  Policy continues to exert strength.

  On April 15th, the People’s Bank of China decided to reduce the deposit reserve ratio of financial institutions by 0.25 percentage points, and continued to exert its efforts to support the real economy and stabilize the macroeconomic fundamentals. Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), commented that the China government has made efforts to reduce the negative impact of the epidemic on the economy through crisis response measures, liquidity supply, fiscal policy and financial support, and the IMF expressed support for these policy measures.

  Reuters recently noted that the Central Bank of China indicated that it would increase financial support for industries, enterprises and people affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, and guide financial institutions to expand loan lending and make reasonable profits to the real economy.

  According to the website of Lianhe Zaobao, China stressed that efforts should be made to achieve "people’s livelihood should be guaranteed, freight should be unblocked and industries should be recycled", and efforts should be made to stabilize the supply chain of the industrial chain. The media also pointed out that maintaining a strong manufacturing industry has become the main driving force for China’s economic growth in the first quarter.

  “‘ New infrastructure ’ The plan helps China to grow steadily. " According to a recent report on the website of Bloomberg News, at present, in addition to traditional infrastructure construction such as roads and railways, China also supports infrastructure construction in manufacturing and service industries, such as factories, industrial parks, technology incubators and even theme parks. China is also committed to turning to more advanced fields such as electric vehicles, renewable energy and microchips to ensure that China maintains its leading position in global manufacturing. In addition to creating jobs, China’s vigorous promotion of infrastructure construction is also an important measure to ensure the annual economic growth target.

  CNBC, Bloomberg and many other foreign media pointed out that since the second half of last year, the issuance of special bonds for local governments in China has laid a foundation for accelerating infrastructure investment in the future. This shows that China is stepping up its stimulus efforts to boost the economy overshadowed by the epidemic.

  According to Latin American News Agency, the economic and trade exchanges between China and its major trading partners are getting closer and closer, while paying attention to the internal circulation market. This year, China has put steady growth in a prominent position, at the same time, it has increased its opening to the outside world, accelerated its innovation, and made great efforts to promote high-quality economic development.

  Promote global recovery

  At present, under the multiple pressures of repeated epidemics, geopolitical tensions and high inflation, the uncertainty of the world economy has increased. According to Kyodo News, on April 19th, local time, the IMF predicted that the global economic growth rate would be 3.6% this year, down 0.8 percentage points from the January forecast. The growth forecasts of major developed economies such as the United States and Japan have been lowered this year.

  As the second largest economy in the world, China’s economic performance affects the world. German news TV said that China is still the biggest driving force for global economic growth. With the gradual improvement of epidemic situation, the improvement of domestic demand in China and the economic recovery in Europe and America, the global economic development will gradually return to the right track.

  German Economic Weekly pointed out that production and consumption in Europe and the United States are in the stage of recovery and rising, and there is still much room for improvement in demand. China’s export growth rate is expected to maintain double-digit growth. With the formal entry into force of RCEP, the economic and trade exchanges between China and ASEAN will be further expanded and deepened, and ASEAN is expected to maintain its position as the largest trading partner of China, thus promoting the overall growth of China’s foreign trade.

  In addition, data show that in the first quarter of this year, the actual use of foreign capital in China increased by 25.6% year-on-year.

  Maggie molnar, director of the China Policy Research Office of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, pointed out that China’s good growth prospects and further opening-up measures will help to continuously attract foreign capital inflows.

  "China is more deeply integrated into the global economy than ever before." The New York Times recently published an article saying that globalization, as a basic trend, has not changed fundamentally, especially China has been widely integrated into the global supply chain. No matter in the past or now, the development of China is an important driving force for the globalization of trade and investment.

After visiting Costco in China, Japan, South Korea and the United States, consumers say so …

  Shanghai Costco supermarket. Photo courtesy of consumers

  Recently, it was reported that Costco’s first store in Shanghai experienced a phenomenon of centralized queuing to return membership cards after its customers were full. What kind of experience is shopping in Costco? Yangzi Evening News reporters interviewed consumers who had had shopping experience in Costco supermarkets in Shanghai, Japan, South Korea and the United States respectively, and invited economists to talk about the phenomenon of card withdrawal in Costco Shanghai stores.

  Experienced by: Mr. Fu

  Shopping: Costco, China.

  Maotai was sold out long ago, and the price of Wuliangye increased.

  Mr. Fu, a Nanjing consumer, happened to be on a business trip in Shanghai recently. On the evening of September 5th, he went to Costco Supermarket with friends who had membership cards. "Moutai has long been sold out; Wuliangye has also increased its price, more than 1,000 yuan a bottle; Hermes bag can’t be seen either. However, roast chicken is still hot. " Mr. Fu introduced that his most intuitive feeling is that there are many young people in the whole Costco supermarket, mainly consumers aged around 20-40.

  "Like a large warehouse, shelves like IKEA." Mr. Fu introduced that his friend read the recommendation online, knew what was cheaper, and bought a bottle of red wine and a bag of potato chips. He feels that if he wants to buy something cheap, he’d better do his homework in advance. Some foreign-made things are really relatively cheap. He took photos of several commodity prices, and his friends said they were cheap. For example, 25ml or 30ml of Chloe and BOSS perfume costs 399 yuan a bottle. Levi’s jeans cost 429.9 yuan. According to friends, they usually cost around 600 yuan.

  "There are still many people, but they are orderly." According to Mr. Fu, when checking the card at the entrance, it was quite strict, and it was an electronic card. Most people come to the supermarket as a family.

  Mr. Fu said that because he went at night, he didn’t see the queue to return the card. The normal checkout channel still has to queue up around 9 pm.

  Shopping: Costco, Japan

  Go shopping and have a PARTY when you get home.

  Mr. Lin, a consumer in Nanjing, lived in Japan before 2018. He told the Yangzi Evening News reporter that he had a membership card in Costco supermarket at that time, and the price was 4,400 yen, which was less than the RMB in 300 yuan (1,000 yen was about the RMB in 60 yuan). Japanese supermarkets are generally few and fine, while Costco supermarkets are full of American style and large quantity, which is very cheap on average.

  "Buy a trip, and you can have a PARTY when you go home." Mr. Lin introduced that Costco supermarkets are generally located in the suburbs. He lives in the center of Tokyo, 16 kilometers to the south, 40 kilometers to the east and about 50 kilometers to the west from several Costco supermarkets. Generally, family shopping is once every 1-2 weeks. Sushi is in a big box, with 48 pieces in a box, and 12 pieces in Japanese supermarkets. Roasted chicken is also popular in Japan, with a price of 699 yen. You should take the number before Christmas to buy roast chicken. Salmon and pork are also very cheap. Take pork ribs as an example, a large box is only 1800 yen. The most popular thing for children is a large jar of cashew kernel, which sells for 2,400 yen.

  Clothes are also sold very cheaply, such as jeans like Levi’s, which cost about 4,000 yen and are of good quality. He also bought ski clothes and glasses for his children, and bought his own black cotton-padded clothes for 4,000 yen/piece. Before returning to China, he didn’t see any luxury goods sold in Costco supermarket in Japan.

  Shopping: Costco, Korea

  I basically didn’t see the phenomenon of card withdrawal.

  Ms. Yan, a Nanjing native who once lived in Daejeon, South Korea, told the Yangzi Evening News reporter that she had set up a membership card at the local Costco supermarket through a friend’s introduction. She spent 45,000 won on a membership card, which was converted into RMB less than 300 yuan (at that time, 1,000 won was equivalent to 6 yuan RMB).

  Ms. Yan introduced that she felt that the items sold in this supermarket were very rich. She has been there several times and bought bread, beef, eggs, milk, vegetables and other foods. "The food is fresh and full of weight." Ms. Yan recalled that there are also some luxury goods on sale in the supermarket.

  Ms. Yan said that she basically didn’t see the phenomenon of card withdrawal, probably because the positioning of this supermarket is more in line with the needs of the middle class.

  Shopping: Costco, USA

  In 2016, I haven’t seen luxury goods yet.

  Ms. Yang, a citizen of Nanjing, spent more than 20 days in San Francisco, USA in 2016. At that time, she went shopping in Costco supermarket with friends with membership cards. When she traveled to the United States again in 2017, she lived in a homestay all the way. She usually went to an ordinary supermarket to buy daily necessities. Because of these two comparisons, she was deeply impressed by the cheap prices of goods in Costco supermarket.

  "Praise bread, $4.99, 3 dozen 36. A box of Butterfly Crisps is $4.99, 4 dozen 48 pieces. We drove in the west of the United States and didn’t eat all the way. Hershey’s chocolate and coffee are all sold by the package, and each package is more than one kilogram. Starbucks coffee beans are 2.5 pounds and more than ten dollars. " Ms. Yang introduced that this supermarket is suitable for family use because everything it sells is large. She found that if you buy the same product with similar total price in other supermarkets, the amount may be only half that of Costco supermarket.

  She remembers that Costco supermarkets in the United States are generally relatively large, about the size of IKEA or slightly smaller, mainly selling daily necessities such as food, clothing and use, as well as electrical appliances. But I don’t remember selling luxury goods at that time. (Yangzi Evening News/Yangyan reporter Merry ma Xu Wei Fu Yijie Intern Tao Meizhen)
