Bao Beier: The Tough Road between Bad Films and Passion

In the entertainment circle, this shining and competitive stage, Bao Beier’s name is often closely linked with the word "bad film". On October 22, Bao Beier said frankly in an interview: "There is nothing else to find me, and I am very happy if I can find me to film." This seemingly simple sentence hides his transformation and persistence in film for many years. For this actor who was once popular for Pancake Man, the public should not only question and criticize him, but also see the real struggle between his hard life and his artistic pursuit.

Early experience: from ordinary people to dream catchers in the entertainment industry

Bao Beier, born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in 1984, has shown extraordinary acting talent since he was a child. His parents are not from the entertainment circle, and the common background of his family makes him face many challenges in the pursuit of art. As a young man with ideals, Bao Beier has a dream of becoming a comedian, but all this is not smooth sailing. In 2002, he was admitted to Beijing Film Academy and started his acting career.

On campus, Bao Beier not only learned professional knowledge, but also cultivated his unique sense of humor. During this period of edification, he came up with the idea of participating in TV dramas and movies. In 2007, shortly after graduation, Bao Beier finally got the first important opportunity in his life-he became a special guest actor in the TV series ipartment. Although his role was not important, the popularity of this drama made his face familiar to the audience.

Career: a journey with both challenges and opportunities

After entering the entertainment circle, Bao Beier faced challenges not only from the role itself, but also from the trough and failure. Although his early works are frequent, it is difficult to get recognition from the audience and the industry. In 2015, he became famous for starring in the movie Pancake Man, and the success of the film made him a favorite comedian overnight. This film not only became a box office hit, but also won many awards nominations for Bao Beier, which instantly attracted the attention of many directors.

However, after becoming famous, Bao Beier was not complacent because of his temporary success. In the next few years, Bao Beier kept trying new roles and types, but was repeatedly criticized for choosing some films with poor reputation. When netizens tied the "bad film" with Bao Beier’s name, he didn’t choose to be silent, but faced it with a normal heart.

"I also choose? As for what to play, it’s not up to me unless I have a choice. " Bao Beier’s frank speech revealed his love and helplessness for the performing arts. In this industry, many people know that in the face of complex market and diverse audience needs, many actors will inevitably encounter unsatisfactory works no matter how hard they try.

Achievements and challenges: the spirit of constantly exploring actors

Despite some negative comments, Bao Beier’s road to performing arts has not stopped. He knows that his career is not a one-shot deal, as he said: "I am engaged in the career I love. Although my career may not love me, I think he doesn’t love me, and he is always partial to others." This statement is not only a response to external doubts, but also a profound reflection and insight into one’s own career.

With the passage of time, Bao Beier ushered in a turning point in his efforts, that is, the performance in About Winter. The complexity of his role in the film made him get a good evaluation, which marked another important breakthrough in his career. The success of this film has brought Bao Beier back to the audience’s sight and made more directors willing to offer him an olive branch.

Social relations: looking for solid support in the storm

In the entertainment industry, Bao Beier’s social circle is quite extensive. He maintains good relations with many people in the industry, especially those who resonate with his sense of humor and creation, such as Li Dan and Chi Zi, all of whom are his good friends. These relationships provide him with backstage support, and also help him not to fight alone when he encounters difficulties. Bao Beier often shares his life on social platforms, which makes him more grounded and deeply loved by fans.

External Evaluation: Bao Beier from a Multidimensional Perspective

The evaluation of Bao Beier is polarized on the Internet. On the one hand, his humor and efforts have been recognized by many audiences and users, and he is regarded as a representative of comedians in the new era; On the other hand, his performance in some of his works is actually unsatisfactory, and some netizens even gave sharp criticism in the comment area. This inconsistent evaluation has always kept Bao Beier at the forefront. However, he chose to face and correct, rather than escape and deny.

Future Outlook: Bao Beier Who Insists on Dreams

Bao Beier’s story continues. Facing the outside voice, he still meets every new challenge with an open attitude. On this artistic road full of thorns and bright roads, Bao Beier knows what he really wants. He believes that no matter whether his future works are successful or not, his acting career is a journey to pursue his dreams, which is why he has become more determined and has chosen to face doubts and continue to appear on the screen.

"Nothing else to find me" is Bao Beier’s position for himself and an open-minded attitude. He never stopped loving art. Now, maybe he will choose a more suitable art path at a more appropriate stage and prove his value with his works. For the eternal theme of comedy, Bao Beier is still searching for a better answer through exploration. To win the hearts of the audience, you need not only acting skills, but also the courage to keep moving forward in a restless world.

Bao Beier’s tenacity and hard work reflect the mental journey of many young people who persist in their dreams. In this era full of choices and challenges, perhaps everyone should learn from Bao Beier: speak out their persistence loudly and boldly move towards the future. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as the love in the heart lasts forever, everyone can find their own light.

As the release time of the Huawei Mate70 series approaches, there are more and more exposures about the Huawei Mate70 series. According to the Bilibili blogger, the chip equipped with the Huawei Mate70 Pro + is quite amazing in terms of performance. Under the strong blessing of Hongmeng System, even if its actual parameters are about the level of the Snapdragon 8Gen2, it may even be slightly stronger, but after careful tuning and optimization by Huawei…

Here we go again! 41-year-old Rulu plays mother for 26-year-old Wang Anyu, which makes it difficult to play a young actor.

The TV series "Alley People" is being broadcasted. One alley, two families, the story is full of fireworks.

NI YAN’s Huang Ling is simply the epitome of women of the times.

The husband who is ignorant of filial piety has been paying for his parents and relatives all his life, and his children and wife have to submit to humiliation together.

But Huang Ling is lucky, because she has the courage to speak for herself under the influence of her neighbors. Such a story is undoubtedly loved by the audience.

The children’s story lines are also brilliant, the aura of the little actors is preserved by the camera, and the innocence is dramatic, which makes people more and more interested.

However, what pokes me the most is Rulu, the actor of Song Ying in this drama. She is not only good at acting, but also has no idol burden. What’s going on?

01 it’s amazing after viewing

When I first saw Rulu’s appearance, I believe the audience, like me, were all amazed by her present state.

Yes, Rulu has lost weight.

In fact, she belongs to a big skeleton figure, and it is not easy to lose weight. Presumably, she has worked hard to become thin and beautiful in private.

The effect is obvious to all. Now, Rulu is not only slim, but also has a more delicate face. Even if she shoots a face, she is not afraid, and her skin is tight and delicate, so she has already won the battle in her physiognomy.

And the audience of Rulu suddenly realized that although she is a powerful actress, it is no problem to eat just by her face.

Who would have guessed that she is 41 years old now?

Once this person loses weight, his energy is full, and the whole person is more confident, and his state is naturally young.

Now Rulu can’t help but remind people that when she filmed "The Seven Fairies with Joy", she really returned to the peak of her face value this time.

Moreover, she has a special charm when she wears fashionable clothes.

Washing my hands to make the bridal soup’s sense of relaxation, for belonging to the family in the early days, was frank and provocative, and was wronged and helpless after being gossiped by everyone.

In every shot, Jiang Xin interprets the character appropriately.

However, what surprised the audience most was that she actually played the role of mother for Wang Anyu.

In fact, in recent years, Rulu’s position on himself is quite clear. It is obviously inappropriate for people to continue to play some idol-heavy roles in middle age.

In Xiao Shede, she played the role of mother for primary school students, because it was too real and was recognized by the audience.

But Wang Anyu is not a pupil. He is already 26 years old.

Rulu is willing to play the role of mother for a young student who is only 15 years younger than herself, which shows that she really has no idol burden and is willing to ignore her embarrassment for the role.

Maybe this is not a great thing for the audience.

But for middle-aged actresses, age has always been a heart disease.

They want to play idol dramas and ancient puppet dramas at this age, but they are too old to compete with young flowers. But I want to play the mother for others, but I feel unwilling, and once I start, I may receive the same type of scripts in the future.

Therefore, Rulu can face her age frankly and accept herself as a mother for young people, which means that the role in her heart is more important than herself, and this is also the attitude that actors should learn.

Not the kui is a backsight!

Middle-aged actresses should be sober.

It’s the most embarrassing period for actresses to reach middle age. It’s just that some people can be as open-minded as Rulu and speak with their works, and they are not afraid of age. However, some people just can’t carry it clearly and are immersed in their fantasy of being a girl.

For example, Kym.

Once, she was really a "little white flower", but in a blink of an eye, she became a 40+ actress, which should have been transformed long ago.

Before that, a director specially invited her to play the role of mother for Sean Xiao, but Kym felt incredible, and the matter went away.

Maybe she still wants to play girlfriend for Sean Xiao? Stop dreaming.

This is also a reason why the popularity of Kym Road is declining, and there is really no forced concave girl.

Fortunately, she woke up a little in the abuse, and after being ridiculed by netizens, she went to play roles suitable for her age. For example, in "Splendid Peace", Ren Min, who is 16 years younger than herself, played her mother, which saved some reputation.

If I had known today, why should I have!

And, Angel.

She doesn’t seem to have come out of her previous role, and she still thinks she can play a role like Leng Qingqiu in The Golden Powder Family.

So in "Flowers bloom like a dream", Angel plays a female student again, but the wrinkles on her face can’t be ignored, and her eyes have long since lost their aura.

What’s even more ridiculous is that she wants to call Wang Lin, who is only 10 years old, mother. It’s obvious that two people stand together as sisters, but she has to deceive the audience to play mother and daughter. It’s really self-deception!

In addition, Ma Yili also had moments of unconsciousness before.

In Dragon City, she painted red lips and put on a big fur coat, trying to play the role of a great beauty in her twenties, but as a result, she acted like a crazy woman, becoming a joke in the audience’s mouth, and the filters behind her were all broken.

In My Altay, Ma Yili is much more normal. At the age of 48, she still plays the role of mother for the 28-year-old young student Zhou, and her face is full of traces of wind and frost, which makes people enter the play at once.

What does this mean? Since middle-aged actresses have acting skills, don’t compete with other florets, or find roles that they are good at, and then use their strength to win word of mouth, instead of always competing with their age.

When it comes to actresses who waste their acting skills, I have to say Jiang Wenli.

Yao Ming is also an old opera player. He has to play "Sister-in-law Love" with Ming Dow, who is 14 years younger than himself, and his accumulated popularity has been lost by himself.

I hope I can see Jiang Wenli as normal next time!

03 conclusion

As a big Tsing Yi, Rulu’s acting skills always reassure the audience. She doesn’t have the common faults of other middle-aged actresses, and she doesn’t pursue abnormal aesthetics excessively. Even if she loses weight, her whole figure is not skinny, but healthy and natural.

Only in this way can we better portray the characters. Rulu in the new play is like a woman who has come out of the chronological picture. Her personality is straightforward and her actions show her ability to control the characters.

Besides, she is also willing to play the role of mother for Wang Anyu, and she will never be a girl.

At this point, middle-aged actresses should learn from Jiang Xin. No one can be a girl forever, and they should play roles at any age. Only by speaking with acting skills can they go further on the road of performing arts.

So what do you think about this?

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

[Truck House Original] Recently, we saw a set of data on the live broadcast of a press conference. In the heavy commercial vehicle market in 2019, about 8,000 vehicles equipped with AMT automation were sold. By 2020, nearly 50,000 heavy commercial vehicles equipped with AMT gearboxes have been sold, showing almost explosive growth.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

The outbreak of automatic transmission has attracted the attention of manufacturers.

The explosive growth of automatic heavy trucks not only makes more card friends choose automatic transmission models, but also makes all manufacturers aim at this field. To put it simply, in the eyes of manufacturers, this thing can be sold and sold for more money, then they will invest in research and development and make this thing. The more R&D is invested, the more ways to realize automatic transmission, or the more R&D routes.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

And the live broadcast we saw came from the international gearbox, or the transmission system giant Borgwarner. The theme of this live broadcast is how promising it is to use the dual-clutch gearbox in commercial vehicles, and what kind of experience it will bring.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

To put it simply, Borgwarner, as a giant in the transmission system manufacturer, has targeted the market of truck dual clutch. Judging from the participating brands, many domestic truck brands also recognize this matter. It can be said that they have reached a consensus.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

So what’s the difference between dual-clutch gearbox and AMT now? Let’s have a brief talk first.

What’s the difference between dual clutch and AMT now?

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

In fact, the essence of dual clutch and AMT is manual gearbox, but AMT operates the gearbox through gear selection computer and actuator. The dual clutch is to subdivide it again, so that two sets of actuators are responsible for odd gears and even gears respectively. For example, if you are hanging the third gear now, then the actuator of the third gear is working. But at this time, the 4-speed actuator with dual clutch is already ready there. When we need to shift gears, it will switch between two sets of actuators.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

We can understand that AMT is equivalent to adding a gear selection computer and a set of electronic control actuators to the manual gearbox. The dual clutch gearbox is to install two AMT in the car. The usual shift is to operate between two sets of actuators. In this way, the shift of the dual clutch can be faster, and the power loss caused during the shift process will be smaller. More fuel-efficient, more powerful, and the cost has not increased much.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

There is still a long way to go, and it still needs hard work for the dual clutch to gain a foothold.

In fact, the appearance of dual clutch on trucks is undoubtedly a good thing. But after all, it also has shortcomings. If you want to really gain a foothold, according to Xiaobian, it is almost interesting. At least what I say below needs to be changed or satisfied.

1, the price is the key!

Compared with the AT gearbox, which now occupies a dominant position in passenger cars, the dual clutch is derived from the manual gearbox, and the cost is inevitably lower. However, compared with AMT gearbox, it is more complicated, so the cost is still rising.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

To tell the truth, it is difficult for freight card friends to survive now, and buying AMT models is already biting their teeth. At this time, a dual-clutch model that is more expensive than it comes out, and the card friends will definitely not accept it. And this is likely to directly end the life of the dual clutch.

2. It is a problem that large torque is difficult to match.

As we mentioned earlier, the dual clutch gearbox is equivalent to an AMT with two sets of actuators. But in the car, everyone knows that the gearbox can’t be too big and too heavy. Therefore, the dual clutch gearbox often integrates two groups of clutches, which leads to a sharp reduction in the volume of clutches in the dual clutch.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

The torque that a small clutch can bear is limited. On the live broadcast of this conference, relevant experts directly gave suggestions: dual clutch gearbox, suitable for power chains less than or equal to 1250 Nm. This also makes the dual clutch gearbox bid farewell to many models directly, especially for some trunk logistics that need high-end, the dual clutch has basically been out.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

Of course, it is not without application in high-torque models, for example, it provides a dual-clutch version with a maximum of 540 horsepower. According to the industry bull, if the dual clutch of commercial vehicle adopts the form of front-inserted dual clutch, it will have direct structural difference from the dual clutch of passenger car today, so its performance will be different. It is not certain whether domestic manufacturers will choose this technical route if they apply it.

3, durability may be insufficient!

When the clutch plate becomes smaller, its heat dissipation capacity will become worse, and the heating speed will be much faster. This is equivalent to not only limiting its own strength, but also burying the hidden trouble of failure.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

Let’s put it another way. In Xiaobian’s 6 years of experience in passenger car media, I have tried countless passenger cars with dual clutch gearboxes. These vehicles have left a bad impression on me more or less during their use. It can be said that the dual-clutch gearbox is not perfect in passenger cars, whether it is a setback in the acceleration process or an abnormal sound under long-term traffic congestion.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

We have to put a question mark on the durability of this clutch gearbox in commercial vehicles that are heavily used and bear greater torque.

4, not smart enough is a serious injury!

In addition to the above problems, commercial vehicles, especially heavy trucks, have more gears in their gearboxes, and we often need to downshift frequently when we slow down. However, limited by the principle, the dual clutch gearbox cannot be trip stop. Because the odd gear is hanging, the next shift must be the even gear.

Do trucks need dual clutches? I really want to use these points!

When we slow down or encounter congestion, vehicles often choose different gears according to the degree of deceleration. At this time, the dual clutch gearbox may not be smart enough to hang the gear we need most. And this problem is also the key. You said it was possible to make up for it with its fast shift speed. However, rapid gear shifting will inevitably exert greater pressure on the gear and box structure, which may also increase the failure rate.

● Editor’s note:

Therefore, if the dual-clutch gearbox really wants to be popularized and go to thousands of households, it still needs to overcome many problems. But I believe that once these problems are overcome, the dual-clutch gearbox will definitely bring us a better experience. (Text/Yuan Sheng)

Chengdu Huiyang Investment is facing structural changes at both ends of soda supply and demand.

 Global supply: The scale of global soda ash production capacity continues to expand, and China contributes a major increase.

In recent years, the global capacity and output of soda ash are increasing year by year. According to Bloomberg, the capacity of soda ash increased from 44.72 million tons in 2000 to 82.95 million tons in 2023. In 2023, China (50%), North America (18%) and Western Europe (11%) are the main soda production capacity distribution areas. According to Bloomberg statistics, in 2000, the global soda production capacity was 44.721 million tons, and it increased to 66.758 million tons in 2014. China was the main source of capacity increase, and the proportion of soda production capacity in China increased from 19.3% to 45.9%, reaching a historical peak. In 2015-2021, the global soda production capacity increase mostly comes from the Middle East and Africa. In 2023, with the launch of natural alkali production capacity in China, the new global production capacity will be concentrated in China.

       Supply in China: capacity expansion by natural alkali method in 2023, and supply may be loose in 2024.

Limited by the industry entry threshold and environmental protection requirements, the growth of soda production capacity in China slowed down from 2016 to 2022, and the new production capacity in 2023 was mainly natural soda production capacity. According to the statistics of Baichuan Yingfu, from 2016 to 2022, China’s soda production capacity expanded from 30.79 million tons to 3,485 tons (including 3.75 million tons of long-term production suspension enterprises). The scale expansion of soda ash production capacity in the future is expected to be limited, and it is mainly natural alkali. In 2023, with the production capacity of 5 million tons in the first phase of Yuanxing Energy Alashan Natural Alkali Project (4 million tons in 2003 and 1 million tons in early 2004), the production capacity of Henan Jinshan Chemical Industry increased by 2 million tons and the production capacity of other soda plants increased slightly, the domestic soda production capacity totaled 41.65 million tons, up by 11% year-on-year.

Demand: the demand for soda ash with flat glass backing, and the application of new energy is rapidly improving.

In 2023, the apparent consumption of soda ash in China was 31.82 million tons (27.26 million tons in 22 years), 73% of which was mainly used in the glass field. In China, glass is the main downstream application field of soda ash, including flat glass, photovoltaic glass and daily-use glass, and their consumption accounts for 43%, 17% and 13% respectively. Followed by baking soda (7%) and silicate (5%) (2023). Among them, from 2019 to now, with the rapid development of domestic photovoltaic industry, the proportion of photovoltaic glass in the downstream application of soda ash has increased significantly, and in 2023, it has surpassed daily glass to become the second largest application field of soda ash.

Related companies

Yuanxing Energy:The company has been deeply involved in the natural soda industry for many years, and the production capacity of soda ash and baking soda ranks among the top in China. By 2023, the company has a capacity of 5.8 million tons of soda ash, 1.5 million tons of baking soda and 1.54 million tons of urea. The company’s natural alkali has a competitive advantage and its production capacity continues to expand.
