If you don’t go to sea, you are out.In recent years, e-commerce "going out to sea" has been frequent., major e-commerce platforms are also there.Constantly update the "gameplay" to meet the needs of merchants and cope with market changes.according toGeneral Administration of CustomsThe latest statistics released show that in the first half of the year, the import and export volume of cross-border e-commerce in China reached 1.22 trillion yuan, up 10.5% year-on-year, which was 4.4 percentage points higher than the overall growth rate of China’s foreign trade in the same period.

As a "happy hometown" for countless cross-border e-commerce sellers,1688 is also making efforts in cross-border e-commerce. On September 11th, 2024, at the press conference of "1688 Selection Center and 1688 Businessmen’s Festival" held in Taizhou, the person in charge of the 1688 Selection Center revealed that 1688 should rely on the offline selection center to make heavy investment in the industrial belt. At the same time, 1688 is aiming at the new outlet of cross-border e-commerce and laying out the whole link ecology of cross-border e-commerce.

Create the shortest link matching supply and demand

Nowadays, the supply of industrial belts is the focus of major platforms, and 1688 is no exception. At the press conference, the person in charge of the 1688 product selection center believes that the most advanced and shortest path to realize the digitalization of the industrial belt is to establish an online and offline integrated operation and service model. Therefore, the 1688 product selection center is jointly built by the government, chain owners, 1688 and the source manufacturers of industrial belts. Through the "four-in-one" online and offline operation mode, a business ecosystem of industrial belts with digital supply chains is jointly built, not just an offline entity.

The offline product selection center is set up, endorsed and guided by the government. The chain owner of the local supply chain is responsible for the daily operation, and the industrial belt factory is stationed to jointly aggregate the high-quality goods of the industrial belt, create a "front office and back warehouse" model, and provide comprehensive services integrating enterprise services and warehousing and logistics. Online, 1688 has also built a digital store in the product selection center, providing technical and digital capabilities, and relying on the advantages of 1688′ s entire network source, it has achieved omni-channel sales and efficient matching between supply and demand.

As of September 2024, 1688 has signed a cooperation agreement to build 12 product selection centers, of which 4 have been opened, and 6 are expected to open in September this year, mainly in Taizhou, Yiwu, Yongkang and Jiaxing in Zhejiang, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shantou and Jieyang in Guangdong, and Zhengzhou in Henan. In the next three years, 1688 will continue to deeply cultivate 177 key industrial belts in 40 cities based on the core production areas and sales areas.

"In fact, what we hope to bring to the source factory of the industrial belt is the most efficient and shortest path business model. The core positioning of the product selection center is’ visiting the industrial belt in one day’. Whether you are visiting the industrial belt or purchasing it, whether you are an online digital shopping center or an offline shopping center, you can see the ability and panorama of the industrial belt, making it easy to purchase in one stop. " The person in charge of 1688 selection said.

1688 has been deeply ploughing and reinvesting in the industrial belt. Now, in 1688, it is necessary to increase investment and put the core strategic projects into the industrial belt one after another. The 1688 member store will rely on the offline product selection center as the springboard and bridgehead, go out from 1688, and open stores from online to offline at the same time, and establish white-label supply chain supermarkets for Sam member supermarkets and costco (opening customers) under the marking line.

It is reported that the goal of developing member stores in 1688 is to build a "global member store driven by white brand supply chain", and to provide services to members online and offline. At present, the number of paid members of 1688 has reached nearly 10 million, exceeding the scale of paid members of Sam in China, and the number of members in the past year has increased by more than 400% year-on-year.

The supply of 1688 offline member stores will be relatively vertical, and different sources will be supplied according to different industrial belts. Next, 1688 will gradually combine the characteristic trend products of various industrial belts with offline product selection centers, so that every member of 1688 can buy the national characteristic white-brand products locally.

At the same time, 1688 YEATION will also rely on some product selection centers, unite with China’s major brand foundries and factories with strong R&D and manufacturing capabilities, and launch 1688 YEATION’s branded products, further giving play to the advantages of large-scale supply chain, so that 1688 members can enjoy more differentiated quality products.

Output "supply chain solutions" that can be integrated.

Product selection is the primary link of cross-border e-commerce. The person in charge of the 1688 product selection center revealed that the "Domestic YEATION" was launched in 1688. Now, in order to better help cross-border e-commerce sellers to select products, the "Cross-border YEATION" will be launched. According to the latest consumption trends of overseas consumers, products that meet the needs of cross-border e-commerce sellers will be screened out to provide guarantee for product quality and back-end services.

At present, 1688 focuses on just-needed categories of consumption, which, in summary, are eating, drinking, having fun, daily use and beauty trends. For example, Zhengzhou’s food, Shantou’s toys, Taizhou’s storage, Yiwu’s Ribai, Guangzhou’s beauty cosmetics, Shenzhen’s digital products, Jieyang’s household appliances, etc. are all core categories of the industrial belt and just-needed categories.

The person in charge of the 1688 product selection center said: "1688′ s cross-border e-commerce business does not do overseas 2C, but serves overseas small B buyers. 1688 is to help cross-border e-commerce buyers and sellers achieve more efficient supply and demand matching in an ecological way. For example, in cooperation with overseas independent stations, the products are directly laid on the independent stations by means of source-seeking communication. In addition, many large and medium-sized overseas buyers now have their own ERP systems, which will involve product inventory and supplier management. 1688 will be embedded in ERP based on their demands, and one-click distribution of goods will be carried out."

Specifically, 1688 is to turn China’s digital supply chain into a digital "chip"-like solution and capability that can be integrated, and then do cross-border cooperation, which is neither Apple mode nor Android mode, but more like Intel mode.

In the early days of cross-border e-commerce, cross-border e-commerceThe links are deep and long, and many links are impassable. Buyers find it hard to use, so they need to hire a Chinese agent or set up an office in China to find someone to choose goods on 1688. Now these links are open, and the interface is more friendly, turning into a digital "chip", plug and play.

When overseas buyers get the digital "chip", it is equivalent to getting the capacity of the whole China industrial belt, which is the largest digital assembly and digital supply chain supplied by the source. Buyers can also customize their needs. For example, if they choose Vietnam, 1688 will help them choose those supplies that meet the needs of Vietnam, recommend pallets that Vietnamese young people like, and provide supporting services for localized performance.

In the cross-border supply chain, 1688 is ready to export an integrated "supply chain solution", that is, a digital "chip" that integrates the white-label supply of China industries and can be "plug and play". Overseas buyers can only make inquiries on 1688 before, but now they can use AI to handle customs clearance, foreign exchange settlement, local distribution, and even the return and exchange of some key countries are done by 1688 and ecological partners. The core of "1688" is to help pallets go out to sea, with emphasis on the waist-high competitive and dynamic supply of China industries.

I believe many people have heard the advertisement "Good air conditioner is made by Gree". With the blessing of "Gree mastering core technology", many people will vote for Gree for which brand of air conditioner is good.

If nothing else, let’s talk about the compressor, the core technology of air conditioning. Gree is also the only one among many domestic air conditioning brands with a self-developed Lingda compressor. In the past few decades, Gree has won wide recognition from consumers for its excellent quality and innovative ability.

In 2024, Gree Air Conditioning once again proved its leading position in the market and launched many popular on-hook air conditioners. These three models can be said to beGree’s best three hang-up air conditioners: not only high sales, but also high cost performance, which is recognized by the public.!

First, Gree Yunjia variable frequency air conditioning hangs up.

Gree Yunjia hang-up air conditioner has become a popular choice in the market because of its new level of energy efficiency, variable frequency cooling and heating, self-cleaning and people-friendly price. Equipped with 1.6 rows of condensing copper tubes, electronic expansion valve and 9.8cc Lingda compressor, as well as new energy-efficient frequency conversion technology, it brings users an efficient experience of energy saving, environmental protection and stable operation.

In the hot summer, Yunjia air conditioner’s refrigeration capacity of 1.5 horsepower can easily cope with the high temperature challenge and bring a cool and pleasant environment to the family. At the same time, Yunjia air conditioner adopts variable frequency heating and cooling technology, which can automatically adjust the operating frequency according to the change of indoor temperature, avoiding the discomfort caused by frequent start and stop.

In addition, Yunjia air conditioner has a circulating air volume of 640 m/h, seven adjustable wind speeds and four sleep modes, which ensures the constant and comfortable indoor temperature. Combined with Gree’s triple energy-saving control technology, the energy efficiency of Yunjia air conditioner is as high as 5.27, and the power saving effect is obvious.

In terms of detailed functions, Yunjia air conditioner also has intelligent design such as self-56℃ high temperature cleaning function, independent dehumidification and fluorine deficiency protection, and low noise performance. With a price of less than 3,000 yuan, Gree Yunjia 1.5 air conditioners won the gold list of air conditioners in JD.COM with its excellent price/performance ratio, and remained at the TOP1 of Gree’s sales volume, becoming a hot choice in the market.

Second, Gree Yunjin 3rd Generation Variable Frequency Air Conditioning Hang-up

Gree Yunjin Ⅲ, as an upgrade of Yunjin series, not only maintains the excellent performance and elegant design of the previous generation products, but also carries out various upgrades. Among them, the addition of Gree’s second-generation cold external machine enables it to support 60℃ high-temperature refrigeration and -35℃ low-temperature heating, bringing users a more comprehensive temperature control experience. At the same time, its energy efficiency ratio (APF) is as high as 5.32, and the circulating air volume is increased to 660 m/h, which brings higher cost performance to users.

In terms of performance, Yunjin III is equipped with a new generation of Lingda compressor with a displacement of 10.3CC, combined with a 1.6-row condenser and an electronic expansion valve, and uses a new energy-efficient frequency conversion technology to provide users with a strong and stable refrigeration effect. Its refrigeration capacity of 1.5 horsepower and self-cleaning function at 56℃ ensure the efficient operation of air conditioner and the fresh and healthy indoor air.

In addition, Yunjin ⅲ air conditioner also adopts the closed design of double-layer air deflector, which realizes sufficient air volume and ultra-long air supply distance. At the same time, 7-speed wind speed, 4 sleep modes and automatic wind sweeping function provide users with a more personalized and comfortable experience. Intelligent light-sensitive, anti-direct-blowing and mute design as low as 18dB allow users to enjoy tranquility and comfort while enjoying coolness.

Compared with the best-selling model Yunjia, Gree Yunjin III has a slightly higher price, but its rich configuration and excellent experience make it an ideal choice for users who pursue cost performance. Regardless of performance or design, Yunjin III has demonstrated the excellent quality and innovative ability of Gree brand.

Third, Gree Yunshu Oxygen Fresh Air Air Conditioner hangs up

As a medium and high-end "constant temperature air conditioner" with fresh air function in Gree, Yunshu Oxygen Air Conditioner has shown a very high cost performance in the price range of 4,000 yuan with its fresh air function and excellent refrigeration and heating performance. Whether it is a user who pursues a comfortable quality of life or a family who pays attention to health and environmental protection, Yunshu Oxygen is an ideal choice worthy of in-depth consideration.

Compared with other air-conditioning models of Gree, one of the highlights of Gree Yunshu Oxygen Air-conditioning is that it perfectly combines temperature balancing technology with independent fresh air module. Through the built-in high-quality HEPA filter, it not only can cool and heat, but also has the function of fresh air ventilation, creating a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment for users.

In the aspect of internal machine design, Yunshu oxygen air conditioner is equipped with a 360-degree motion large air deflector, which supports awning air supply and carpet air supply. This design can effectively prevent cold air from blowing directly to the human body, making the blown air softer and more comfortable, and will not cause headache even if it is used for a long time. In the heating mode, hot air can be sent to the ground evenly and naturally rise, forming a carpet heating effect, ensuring that the whole house can feel warm and avoiding the discomfort of being hot at the head and cold at the feet.

The external machine configuration is equally excellent. Yunshu Oxygen Air Conditioning adopts the second-generation Gree cold external machine, equipped with a 10.33cc displacement Lingda compressor and a double-row condenser. This enables it to maintain excellent refrigeration effect in the high temperature environment as high as 60℃, and it can also be started smoothly in the low temperature environment of -35℃, meeting the use requirements in various extreme environments.

In addition to the above three products, Gree has many other excellent on-hook air-conditioning products, such as Gree Yuntian and Gree Yun Xuan Healthy, which also uphold Gree’s consistent spirit of high quality and technological innovation, bringing users a comfortable home environment.

Generally speaking, Gree, as a leading enterprise in the air-conditioning industry, has a wide range of on-hook air-conditioning products with excellent quality. No matter consumers who pursue high efficiency and energy saving or users who pay attention to health and environmental protection, they can find satisfactory products in Gree.

　　Recently, the circle of friends was screened by two pictures of "Qiushui Mountain Villa". One is colored, the other is gray, and it is color that causes everyone to vomit. The gatehouse is painted in yellow wall scarlet letter, and the color is very bright, which is abrupt compared with the color of surrounding buildings. At noon the day before yesterday, the yellow of the gatehouse of Qiushui Villa was covered with new gray. Hangzhou Garden Department said: Qiushui Mountain Villa, as a cultural relic protection site in Hangzhou, should go through filing or approval procedures before implementing protective maintenance or repair. However, they have not reported these refreshes, and the garden department will strengthen its supervision responsibility in the future.

　　Qiushui mountain villa

　　Color changes twice a day.

　　In fact, as early as half a month ago, when the reporter passed Beishan Street, he was attracted by the yellow "Qiushui Villa". Compared with the surrounding red bricks and gray tiles, yellow is really abrupt. At that time, the reporter also had the same guess as passers-by. Maybe this is just the background color. How can the buildings by the West Lake be this color?

　　What the reporter didn’t expect was that two weeks later, the yellow color was still there, and it became online celebrity. Early the day before yesterday, someone in the circle of friends was forwarding two contrasting pictures of "Qiushui Mountain Villa". One was an old photo, and the light gray wall was mottled, revealing a yellowish wall. Behind the four gray characters of Qiushui Villa is a white bottom. The other one, painted bright yellow. The four characters of Qiushui Villa have also been changed to bright red.

　　By 10 o’clock in the morning, these two pictures were in a screen-brushing situation, accompanied by doubts: rhubarb and scarlet were really unacceptable.

　　At noon the day before yesterday, the reporter rushed to Beishan Street. There were already construction workers painting the wall at the entrance of Qiushui Villa. Most of the yellow of the original gatehouse was covered with new gray. A worker said that they were suddenly notified in the morning and asked to paint it gray as soon as possible. After half an hour, the original bright yellow wall turned gray.

　　Xinxin Hotel

　　Painting is not reported.

　　The management of "Qiushui Villa" is Xinxin Hotel. Because of the heavy humidity near the West Lake, the gatehouse of the villa needs to be repainted every two or three years. This painting was also organized by them.

　　The person in charge of Xinxin Hotel emphasized that the gatehouse was originally yellow. This painting is also intended to repair the old. "We checked the historical materials. In those days, Mr. Shi Liangcai bought half a piece of land in Jingguantang to build Qiushui Villa. The gatehouse was painted yellow, perhaps to explain its origin with the temple. So we want to repair the old as before and restore the yellow gatehouse. "

　　Moreover, in the process of scraping off the old coating during construction, it was found that the residual coating inside was yellow.

　　In the eyes of the person in charge of Xinxin Hotel, their starting point was good, but they didn’t expect to "do bad things with good intentions". "Now the yellow with the past yellow is not the same, too bright. We also admit this, and there is indeed a technical deviation. Frankly speaking, our original intention is not wrong, but also to respect history. It’s just that the opinions on the Internet are too concentrated, and everyone still likes the previous gray. " Therefore, Xinxin Hotel temporarily decided to brush it back to gray first. But this is not the final color, and they will invite relevant experts to discuss it again.

　　Suddenly turned yellow, and suddenly turned gray. Some netizens are worried that brushing around can be so capricious? Don’t you need approval or filing? The person in charge of Xinxin Hotel also admitted that they did not report to the relevant departments before the two "refreshes".

　　Garden and cultural department

　　Strengthen supervision responsibility

　　Hangzhou Bureau of Landscape Architecture and Culture said that in order to strengthen the supervision responsibility, they will invite experts to come to the door to make a plan and discuss the next step with Xinxin Hotel as soon as possible.

　　What color is the gatehouse of Qiushui Villa? The reporter went to Hangzhou Archives to inquire. Unfortunately, the archives did not keep the old photos of that year. Zhong Xiangping, a researcher on old buildings in Hangzhou, is an expert on "living maps" and "old houses" in Hangzhou. He told reporters that no one knows whether the earliest background color of the gatehouse of Qiushui Villa is yellow or bluish gray. However, he felt that the original background color, blue brick color, blue gray is more likely. This should also be more in line with everyone’s aesthetics.

　　Color expert

　　New doesn’t mean beauty.

　　"This careless move is likely to erase the best things in Hangzhou." Associate Professor Zhai Yin, a researcher at the Institute of Color Studies of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts, was very sad when he talked about this matter.

　　"New doesn’t mean beauty! It is a very unconfident behavior for them to brush like this. " Zhai Yin said that the most valuable place in Hangzhou, especially by the West Lake, is the perfect integration of cultural and historical buildings and natural landscapes. "Even if these buildings are to be repaired as old as before, they need to be cautious and cautious, and they should not be casually laid hands on, instead of casually wiping any cement paint. The consequences are really irreparable."

　　Zhai Yin also appealed that in addition to respect and self-confidence, legislation must be accelerated. "Government departments need wisdom to legislate and strengthen management and execution. No matter the color of the landscape of the West Lake or the whole city, they should be treated with caution and study it with scientific methods and aesthetic eyes."

　　The day before yesterday, Xiang Yongdan, deputy mayor of Hangzhou Municipal Government, said that the problems in the renovation of "Qiushui Villa" exposed the shortcomings in the refined management of Hangzhou. All units should attach great importance to and treat the repair of historical buildings carefully in environmental remediation; Seriously implement the strict audit mechanism with the participation of experts. All departments should take this as a mirror, draw inferences from others, respect experts, listen to public opinions and reflect urban culture and characteristics in the renovation of urban housing buildings. Hangzhou is very grateful to the citizens for their enthusiastic participation in urban construction, and hopes that everyone will give more valuable opinions and suggestions on such issues.

　　According to qianjiang evening news.

　　Cctv newsOn May 1, local time, the 28th and 29th escort formations of the Navy held a handover ceremony of escort mission in the western waters of the Gulf of Aden after completing the joint escort drill. The 29th escort formation officially took over the 28th escort mission in the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters.

　　CCTV reporter Chen XingThis is a certain sea area in the Gulf of Aden. After the 28th and 29th escort formations of the Navy meet here, they have formed a joint escort formation and sailed to the scheduled sea area under the command of Yancheng Ship.

　　This joint escort drill was jointly carried out by Yancheng Ship, the 28th escort formation of the Navy, Binzhou Ship and Xuzhou Ship, the 29th escort formation. The integrated supply ship Qiandaohu Ship was used to simulate the protected merchant ship, and the whole escort was organized and implemented by accompanying escort. During the period, the two escort formations took turns to take charge of the organization and command of the escort operation. Through the whole process and all-factor joint escort, the 29th escort formation became familiar with the organizational procedures, special handling and force use of the escort operation, laying a solid foundation for the implementation of the escort mission.

　　At 10 o’clock on the morning of May 1, after the joint escort was completed, two escort formations held a handover ceremony of escort mission on the Yancheng ship. At the ceremony, the formation commanders of the two sides signed the task handover book respectively, and each group handed over their counterparts. The twenty-eighth escort formation command post also gave a detailed introduction to the twenty-ninth escort formation on the hydrometeorological characteristics of the mission area, the law of piracy activities, the identification of suspicious targets and the current situation in the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters, and handed over relevant materials and equipment. The 29th escort formation formally replaced the 28th escort formation to undertake the escort mission in the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters.

　　It is understood that on May 2, local time, two escort formations held a sailing ceremony in the western waters of the Gulf of Aden. (CCTV reporter Chen Xing Dong Man Wang You Zhang Zidong)

In recent years, new energy vehicles have become a "battleground" for major car companies, especially in big cities with congested roads and tight parking spaces. Choosing one as a daily commute is gradually accepted by more and more people. However, everyone’s understanding of micro new energy vehicles still stays in the aspects of short battery life, high price, ugly appearance and rough workmanship, but Little Ant 400 will change your understanding.

This test drive model is fully upgraded on the basis of Chery eQ1 Ant 300, mainly for vehicles. The cruising range under comprehensive working conditions is increased to 301km, while the maximum cruising range at 60km/h is 410km.

At the end of this activity, New Energy announced the pre-sale price of the car. The national unified pre-sale price was 65,800-71,800 yuan, which was divided into three models and provided two-seat/four-seat versions.

This article will focus on the five questions that everyone is most concerned about, so that everyone can understand this car more quickly and directly.

1. What is the appearance and interior?

In terms of appearance, Chery eQ1 Ant 400 is highly original, the front face with "X" shape has a sense of design, and the shape of two-color body is cute and sporty. The new car is based on the current Chery eQ1 Ant 300, so it is consistent in appearance, almost unchanged, but upgraded in configuration.

In terms of interior, the overall layout of the new car is distinct, and the color scheme of orange and black interior is still adopted, which once again emphasizes its youthful positioning. The interior materials are almost all hard plastics, but this is completely understandable. After all, the price is there, so don’t treat it with excessive demands.

However, during the actual test drive, it was found that the front position of the co-driver of the car was seriously reflective, and the orange panel affected the line of sight more under the sun. I hope the manufacturer can improve it in the later models.

2. Is the cruising range of 301km under comprehensive working conditions true?

Before departure, I cleared the subtotal mileage of the vehicle to zero. At this time, the remaining cruising range was shown as 280km. Most of the test drive sections were mountain national roads, and the whole journey was smooth. The air conditioner was turned on some time, and most of the time the window was open. There were two people in the car and some luggage. After driving in this state for one day, the actual mileage is 120.5km and the remaining cruising range is 158km, which is almost the same as the remaining cruising range displayed on the dashboard, indicating that the car is still very real in cruising range.

3. What upgrades are there besides cruising range?

The car has been upgraded in terms of safety configuration. For example, the new car has the functions of ASR traction control system, C-ESC body electronic stability system, HAC uphill auxiliary system, TPMS tire pressure monitoring system, automatic window locking, intelligent battery charging and so on, which greatly improves the safety performance of the whole car.

In terms of intelligent interconnection system, the 10-inch smart big screen of Chery eQ1 Ant 400 will be equipped with Baidu CarLife mobile phone interconnection system, which not only can realize basic navigation, communication and other functions, but also incorporates many practical intelligent configurations. When the intelligent system is connected with the mobile phone, the T-BOX remote control system can help users to control it remotely, which greatly improves the convenience of use.

In terms of high-voltage safety, the car has also been fully optimized, and the overall electronic control can automatically and safely cut off power in the first time in dangerous situations such as collision and deep wading during heavy rain.

4. As a two-door mini-car, what is the seating space and ease of use?

Although this is a two-door mini-car, its length, width and height are only 3200mm, 1670mm and 1550mm, and its wheelbase is 2150 mm. However, if it is used by two people, the interior space is still very abundant, because it is mainly used by two people, so the front row space will be slightly larger than usual.

There is a foldable seat in the rear of the 4-seat model. The 173-cm-tall experiencer is comfortable in the rear, and there is almost no room for head and legs. It is only suitable for short-distance emergency or children.

In terms of storage space, the car performs very well, with storage compartments/storage slots all over the front and rear rows. No matter mobile phones, wallets, water bottles or various sundries, you can find a place to store them at will, which is excellent in humanization.

Although this is a miniature pure electric vehicle, it is still equipped with the function of reversing radar and reversing image, which provides great convenience for parking.

5. How does it feel to drive?

In terms of power, the new car adopts a group of 38kWh, and the cruising range under comprehensive working conditions is increased to 301km, and the maximum cruising range at 60km/h is 410km. It is also equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 30kW and a maximum torque of 120Nm. The motor is still arranged in the rear half of the vehicle and driven by rear wheels.

In actual driving, the car’s dynamic response is relatively fast, but due to power constraints, the speed increase is not very rapid, but there is no need to worry about accelerating in the most commonly used middle and low speed range. You can still get a good sense of acceleration by stepping on the accelerator pedal deeply, and the acceleration time of 0-50km/h is less than 6 s.

It is worth mentioning that all four wheels of the car adopt McPherson suspension structure, which can be said to be a veritable four-wheel independent suspension. When encountering road bumps, the feedback is moderate and the overall adjustment is comfortable. However, due to the short wheelbase, you can still feel the jumping of the vehicle when passing through some small bumps, but when encountering large bumps, the vehicle performance is better.

The car has a 7-level adjustable kinetic energy recovery mode, which can adapt to people with different driving habits and adjust the kinetic energy recovery level according to the actual situation.

The steering wheel feedback of this car is lighter, but it can provide a good sense of road. In addition, the body is short and lean, and it has good flexibility when cornering and has certain sports characteristics.

In terms of charging, it is officially introduced that Chery eQ1 Ant 400 is equipped with a 6.6kW charger for the first time, which shortens the slow charging time.

Summary:

As a mini-car with a price of less than 70,000 yuan, the cruising range may be the most concerned aspect for consumers. The cruising range of this newly upgraded model has been optimized. For commuting road conditions within 40km, charging once a week is enough, and the driving cost is very small every day. Thanks to these advantages, it is enough to make it a good choice for commuting. Chery eQ1 Ant 400 has a good competitiveness in the current mini-electric vehicle market with its good design, good driving experience and relatively affordable price.

County, District People’s government, the relevant units of the city:

In order to thoroughly implement the important exposition of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary on safety in production, firmly establish the concept of safe development, strengthen the bottom line thinking and red line consciousness, profoundly learn the painful lessons from the "3 7" Quanzhou, Fujian and "8 29" Linfen, Shanxi, further strengthen the safety management of existing buildings in our city, ensure the safe use of buildings, and earnestly safeguard public safety and public interests, according to the Notice of the General Office of the Provincial Government on Effectively Strengthening the Safety Management of Existing Buildings (Su Zhengban made)

First, fully understand the importance of safety management of existing buildings.

Existing buildings refer to residential buildings, industrial buildings and public buildings such as offices, schools, medical and health institutions, cultural and sports venues, stations, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, bazaars, pension and welfare institutions, places for religious activities, etc., which involve all walks of life, and have a wide range of property rights. With the rapid development of urbanization, the number of existing buildings has increased year by year, and the structural components, equipment and facilities of existing buildings are gradually aging due to disrepair, which is easy to cause security risks. At the same time, in the process of using existing buildings, the main structure of the building is damaged or the building structure and equipment are used beyond the design load due to the unauthorized demolition and modification of the building structure or unauthorized change of the use and function of the building space by the property owner or user, which leads to frequent safety accidents in building use.

Strengthening the safety management of existing buildings from completion, delivery, use and maintenance to scrapping and dismantling is of great significance to ensuring people’s lives and property safety, maintaining social stability and promoting economic development. The CPC Central Committee and the State Council pay great attention to the safety of existing buildings. In view of the casualties caused by building collapses in various parts of the country in recent years, they have repeatedly stressed the need to effectively strengthen the safety management of existing buildings. All relevant units in counties (functional sectors) and cities should further improve their political positions, unify their ideological understanding, take the modernization of governance system and governance capacity as the guide, and conscientiously perform their duties in accordance with the principle of "territorial management, standardized use, prevention first, combination of prevention and control, and ensuring safety", speed up the construction of existing building safety governance system, strictly control illegal activities in the process of building use, carry out in-depth and sustained investigation of building hidden dangers, and effectively implement the governance of dangerous buildings.

Second, strengthen the construction of existing building safety management system

(a) to further improve the existing building safety system.Counties and districts (functional sectors) should formulate or improve the existing building safety management system according to the actual situation and the relevant policies and regulations of higher authorities. The management objects should cover all kinds of existing buildings such as urban and rural residential buildings, industrial buildings and public buildings, and the management contents should include the use of existing buildings, safety appraisal, renovation and expansion, decoration, termite control, building exterior decoration and curtain wall, maintenance of key facilities and equipment (including fire-fighting facilities, etc.), and emergency treatment.

(two) to further clarify the existing building safety responsibility.The owner of the existing building is the person responsible for the safety of the existing building. Existing buildings owned by the state or the collective, whose management unit is the person responsible for the use of safety; The actual user or manager of an existing building whose owner is unaccounted for and whose ownership is unclear shall bear the responsibility for the safety of the existing building. It is necessary to further consolidate the main responsibility for the use of existing buildings, urge those responsible for the use of existing buildings to abide by the provisions of relevant laws and regulations on building safety management, and standardize the constructionBuilding use behavior, regular safety inspection and maintenance of buildings, and timely eliminate potential safety hazards.

(three) to further clarify the existing building safety supervision responsibilities.Departments in charge of various industries should conscientiously perform their duties of production safety in accordance with the requirements of "three management and three necessities", and departments of housing construction, natural resources, finance, public security, emergency, fire protection, market supervision, urban management, etc. should do a good job in existing building safety management according to the division of responsibilities; Education, health, cultural tourism, sports, transportation, commerce, civil affairs, religious affairs and other departments should, according to their respective functions and duties, urge those responsible for the safe use of public buildings such as schools, medical and health institutions, cultural and sports venues, scenic spots, stations, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, bazaars, pension and welfare institutions, religious activities places, etc. to carry out construction safety inspection and maintenance, and eliminate potential safety hazards.

(four) the establishment of existing building archives management system.It is necessary to attach great importance to the information collection of housing safety archives, fully grasp the information of dangerous housing safety, and establish a daily management ledger of housing safety to make the process management clear, continuous and complete, and ensure that the ledger is true and reliable; Actively rely on provincial and municipal information statistical platforms and systems for building safety investigation and rectification, give full play to the application of information technology in building safety management, improve existing building safety management files, and realize dynamic management.

(E) Building a grid management system for building safety.. All counties and districts (functional sectors) should, in accordance with the work requirements of "horizontal to the edge and vertical to the end", pay attention to giving full play to the role of towns (streets) and property service enterprises, promote the shift of management focus, and make overall plans to establish a grid management system for existing building safety in the region, so as to form a good situation in which governments at all levels, administrative departments, industry management departments and grass-roots organizations work together to form a full coverage of management scope without blind spots. Through the grid management system, the management areas should be refined step by step, and all kinds of situations that affect the safety of building use should be clearly classified by menu, so as to compact the responsibility of territorial safety management, ensure that each area has special personnel to inspect and take charge of, and find and deal with existing building safety problems in time.

Three, strengthen the supervision and management of existing building renovation and decoration.

(a) to further clarify the existing building renovation and expansion, decoration engineering capital construction procedures management requirements.Construction renovation and decoration projects with an investment of more than 300,000 yuan or a construction area of more than 300 square meters must apply for construction permits in accordance with the law, and carry out legal procedures for construction drawing review, quality and safety supervision, and completion acceptance and filing; For those who do not reach the scale of applying for construction permits and carry out building renovation and decoration projects, counties and districts (functional sectors) should further clarify the implementation of regulatory responsibilities, refine the division of labor, and strengthen process management in accordance with the requirements of territorial management principles to ensure that no behaviors that endanger the building structure occur. Urban management, housing construction, resource planning and other departments should decentralize the power of law enforcement, shift their focus, take the initiative, strengthen supervision, and strictly investigate and deal with illegal construction behaviors that endanger the safety of building structures. Villages and towns (streets), communities and property management institutions should strengthen inspections, find and stop illegal construction in time, and report to the local government platform and competent authorities in accordance with regulations. Existing building renovation and decoration projects need structural transformation or may affect structural safety, and construction can only be started after the original design unit or the design unit with the same qualification has issued design documents and passed the drawing review. Severely crack down on illegal construction, illegal transformation, unauthorized change of building purposes, etc., and give administrative punishment and credit joint punishment to those responsible for illegal use of safety according to law.

For the transformation of existing buildings into crowded places, before going through the business or opening formalities, the operator should entrust an appraisal (testing) institution to issue a building safety assessment opinion or report, which will be kept for future reference as proof of the legal use of the place, and market supervision, towns (streets), communities and other relevant departments will strengthen supervision afterwards.

(two) the establishment of interior decoration renovation project fire design review and acceptance permit pre safety evaluation system.Renovation of existing buildings. For indoor renovation projects with an investment of more than 300,000 yuan or a construction area of more than 300 square meters, the renovation subject shall fully perform the current legal procedures for project construction before applying for fire control acceptance.On the basis of, complete the appraisal (detection) of building structural safety. Without the safety appraisal (test) report, the fire department will not accept it. Below the scale, refer to the implementation.

Four, increase the investigation of existing building safety hazards.

(a) to carry out the safety investigation of existing buildings in a timely manner. Relevant units of counties (functional sectors) and cities should timely organize the safety investigation of existing buildings within their jurisdiction in combination with the investigation and rectification work of dangerous buildings carried out in recent years, and focus on checking whether the existing buildings have exceeded the design service life, whether there is overload use, unauthorized changes in building use and use functions, and whether there are illegal acts such as renovation and expansion, decoration, etc. Whether there are abnormal conditions such as settlement, cracks, deformation, damage and corrosion of the foundation or main structural members, whether there are peeling of the exterior wall veneer, cracking and damage of the thermal insulation layer of the exterior wall of the building, loosening of the interior and exterior decorative members of the building, whether there are situations such as failure to configure and set the fire-fighting facilities according to the standard or failure to keep them intact and effective, etc., and grasp the state of complete damage of the building, and timely implement the governance responsibilities and remediation measures for the potential safety hazards found in the investigation.

(two) to strengthen the construction safety inspection under certain conditions. We should attach great importance to the safety of existing buildings under severe weather conditions such as typhoon, lightning, rain and snow, and those responsible for the safety of existing buildings should conscientiously do a good job in self-inspection of the safety of existing buildings. For buildings with major security risks, personnel should be evacuated in time to avoid casualties caused by building collapse.

(3) Accelerate the establishment of a normalization mechanism for the investigation of potential safety hazards in existing buildings. All counties and districts (functional sectors) should, in combination with the investigation work, encourage the establishment of "responsible person self-inspection, grassroots grid investigation, departmental joint investigation, third-party professional inspection and government supervision" by purchasing public services and setting up professional inspection teams. Normalized safety hazard investigation mechanism,The existing building safety inspection, regular inspection of dangerous buildings and special inspection of existing building safety under certain conditions are organically combined to achieve early prevention, early detection and early elimination of potential safety hazards.

For existing buildings that have reached the designed service life, foundation or structural components are abnormal or damaged and still need to be used, as well as crowded places such as schools, medical and health institutions, cultural and sports venues, scenic spots, stations, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, bazaars, pension and welfare institutions, public places of entertainment and religious activities, it is necessary to actively implement regular building safety inspection (identification or testing) and maintenance systems.

Five, do a solid job in the supervision and resolution of dangerous buildings.

(a) standardize the construction safety appraisal work. Housing construction departments at all levels should set up housing safety appraisal institutions, equipped with corresponding technical personnel and necessary instruments and equipment, strengthen the construction of appraisal teams, and ensure the smooth development of housing safety management. City housing safety appraisal management center is responsible for the business guidance of the city’s housing safety appraisal work, and is responsible for the identification of dangerous houses, and the implementation of the "Identification Standard for Dangerous Houses" (JGJ125). Housing safety appraisal is an important content and means of housing safety management. Appraisal institutions should follow the principles of fairness in appraisal procedures, fairness in entities and neutrality and impartiality in appraisal subjects to ensure objectivity, accuracy and authenticity of appraisal conclusions.

(2) Strengthen the classified supervision of dangerous buildings. Counties and districts (functional plates) shall assign special personnel to be responsible for tracking and supervising the dangerous buildings that have been investigated or identified before they are solved. For dangerous buildings observed and used, a supervision plan should be formulated to implement the responsible person; To deal with the dangerous buildings used, we should take effective measures to solve the danger in time, implement the main body of solving the danger, and eliminate hidden dangers in time; For dangerous buildings that are temporarily inconvenient to dismantle and do not endanger adjacent buildings and affect the safety of others, but need to be stopped, personnel should be evacuated in time, obvious warning signs should be set up, and effective sealing measures should be taken to prevent secondary disasters; For the need for overall demolition, it is necessary to strengthen the capacity building of emergency rescue and emergency support in accordance with the requirements of Lianyungang City Construction Safety Emergency Plan.

(3) Accelerate the renovation of dangerous buildings. Counties and districts (functional sectors) should strengthen the management and supervision of dangerous buildings within their jurisdiction, urge those responsible for the use of existing buildings to take the initiative to take responsibility for solving the crisis, implement measures to solve the crisis, and encourage the implementation of the social measures of "insurance+service". For a piece of housing that exceeds the designed service life or is identified as a dangerous house, priority may be given to urban renewal or shantytown renovation. The management of dangerous houses requires the use of special residential maintenance funds, and the management department of special residential maintenance funds should provide convenience within the scope of management regulations; Encourage the establishment of crisis relief funds and support property owners to reinforce and repair the crisis; If conditions permit, we can take the form of government subsidies and property owners sharing funds to rebuild or appropriately expand dangerous houses in situ, so as to solve the problems of insufficient funds for housing safety appraisal and renovation.

Six, strengthen the publicity and guidance of existing building safety management.

Counties and districts (functional sectors) should strengthen publicity and guidance, improve the main responsibility consciousness and public safety consciousness of property owners, users and managers, consciously abide by the laws and regulations on building safety management, standardize the use of buildings, reduce behaviors that affect and undermine the safety of building use, and effectively fulfill the obligations of building maintenance; It is necessary to give full play to the supervisory role of public opinion and the public, urge property owners, users and management service units, strengthen the safety management of building use, promptly discourage improper use, and ensure the safe and normal use of buildings.

From 1984 to 1986, China experienced a round of Japanese automobile import peak, during which three types of Japanese off-road vehicles were imported; Toyota Land Cruiser LC60, Nissan Toure and Mitsubishi Pajero. Among the three off-road vehicles, Mitsubishi Pajero has a higher exposure, which is the first generation product of Mitsubishi Pajero.

From 1953 to 1973, Mitsubishi has been manufacturing Jeep CJ3 off-road vehicle (introducing production license). From the production of this vehicle, Mitsubishi Motors has accumulated experience and technology, and has the technical strength to develop off-road vehicles with better performance. The first prototype of a brand-new off-road vehicle was launched in 1973, and the second prototype was launched in 1978. In 1982, the first generation Pajero came out. At first, there were only three-door models with short wheelbase. In 1983, Mitsubishi introduced its five-door model with long wheelbase, and the model sold in the United States was called Montero.

Mitsubishi Pajero has got rid of the commercial compartment design of the previous off-road vehicle, and the comfort of the compartment has improved a lot, so it has completely changed from the previous off-road vehicle in function, and some private SUVs taste. The chassis design is also brand-new, giving up the leaf spring and front hard axle suspension design of Jeep CJ3, and using the front suspension design of double wishbone plus torsion bar and anti-roll bar, which is not only suitable for high-intensity off-road but also for highway high-speed driving.

In terms of power, there are three (2.0, 2.0T and 2.6) four-cylinder gasoline engines and three (2.3, 2.3 turbocharged and 2.5 turbocharged) four-cylinder diesel engines. In 1987, Mitsubishi launched a flagship model of Pajero with more luxurious configuration. In 1988, its power was upgraded to a 104 kW 3.0-liter V6 gasoline engine (6G72), which became From 1982 to 1990, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation manufactured 300,000 first-generation Pajeros. Because of Pajero’s success, Mercedes-Benz was invited to talk about cooperation. At that time, Mercedes-Benz did not have an SUV with high taste.

Mitsubishi Pajero, imported from China in 1980s, is widely used in the western region. It is much better than GAZ 69 and BJ212 used in the western region before, and it has more face when going out for business. Compared with the Toyota Land Cruiser introduced at the same time, it is not fast and comfortable. However, after several years of use in the western region, it showed that its reliability and durability were not as good as that of Toyota Cruiser (at that time, there were few roads in the western region and the road conditions were very poor. In Tibet, the failure rate increased obviously after 80,000 kilometers in Pajero, but there was no problem when the land cruiser was 120,000 kilometers). After 1990s, the field in western China was dominated by Toyota Land Cruisers.

Compared with the indiscriminate bombing of Hollywood imported films in the mainland film market, sporadic Chinese films that occasionally "go out" have not received much attention in North America, which directly leads to the unsatisfactory or even poor box office performance of most films. However, since 2010, the pace of Chinese films going abroad has obviously accelerated, and the number of films appearing in North American cinemas has increased year by year, reaching a record 22 this year. However, it is worth noting that quantitative change has not contributed to qualitative change, and the status of Chinese films in North America has not been improved much, and their performance has not improved much — — In 2013, Chinese export films were still "looking for feelings". (Editor’s Note: Tai Chi Xia and shanghai calling are jointly produced by China and the United States; The box office list data in this foreign language does not take inflation into account)

Among them, movies with good box office in China, such as "Beijing meets Seattle" and "Search", have suffered from waterloo in the United States. It is decided that the North American box office performance of "Beijing meets Seattle" of the American Empire State Building is only 0.008% of the domestic box office; "Big shot" is the worst result of maintaining the North American box office of Chinese films for many years. "Beijing meets Seattle" and "Search" are all hard to shake their position … …

Beijing meets Seattle’s North American box office? You have to jump from the Empire State Building to "find the feeling"

Although the film shows the American image of a paradise on earth, the height of the Empire State Building can’t prevent the film from becoming a bottomless black hole at the North American box office. Compared with the film’s 500 million yuan in China, its box office in the North American market is like a "free fall" from the Empire State Building. "Beijing Meets Seattle" was released in North American cinemas on November 8th. By the time the film went offline on the 21st, it only earned $6,579, which set a new record for the North American distributor Huashi Company to release domestic films in North America.

North American poster of "Beijing meets Seattle"

North American box office of Chinese export films

"Beijing meets Seattle" is the most unsuccessful domestic film that Chinese lion introduced into the North American market. Among the 29 films that China Lion Company introduced into the North American market, this film is the only one with a box office not exceeding 10,000. In contrast, If You Are the One 2 and 1942 were relatively gratifying at the box office in North America through China Lion. The former reached $426,894, while the latter also recorded $312,954.

Although most of the location of Beijing meets Seattle was shot in Seattle, USA; Although most American media spoke highly of "Beijing meets Seattle", they thought that "it is different from common romantic comedies and restores the real life of American immigrants". Although director Xue Xiaolu personally attended the film’s premiere in Los Angeles … … But judging from the box office, the American audience didn’t care about the kindness of friends in China. The only cinema in Seattle that showed the film hastily took it off the production line after a week … …

The film’s three-day premiere in North America was $3,430, with an average box office income of 1,143 yuan, ranking 80 th in the box office list of 109 films released in North America during the same period. Its first week opened at the box office (11.8— — 11.14) was only $5,371, and the average box office income of a single museum was $1,790, and the box office ranking slipped to 83rd place. It seems that American cinema companies are not very interested in such "small fresh" romantic films as "Beijing meets Seattle", which were only shown in three cinemas in Seattle, Los Angeles and new york in the early stage. To make matters worse, on November 15th, the film was released in Seattle and new york cinemas … … The box office of a cinema in Los Angeles alone was unsustainable after the 15th. 15th — — On the 17th, the film’s three-day box office revenue was only $924; During the period from 15th to 21st, the revenue of all cinemas and single libraries in this film was $1,208 … …

The North American box office achievement of Finding Mr.Right … …

Up to now, in the list of 656 movies with box office income released in North America in the past year, Beijing Meets Seattle ranks 574th at the box office. Since 1980, the United States has introduced 1579 foreign language films. In this box office list of foreign language films in North America, "Beijing meets Seattle" is located at 1411. On December 8, 2000, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the best Oscar foreign language film jointly produced by China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the United States, appeared in North America. The film finally fought in the cinema for nearly seven months and ended with a record $128 million. So far, it still holds the title of the highest-selling foreign language film in North America — — It can be said that this is the most important "first" for Chinese films in Hollywood. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is far behind Beautiful Life with a box office of 128 million dollars. The latter grossed nearly $57.6 million, less than half of the former. The hero directed by Zhang Yimou followed closely, with a box office score of $53.71 million ranking third in the list of foreign language films in North America.

Nothing is worse, only the worst, and "Big shot" is not without feeling.

Of course, "Beijing meets Seattle" is not the most unsuccessful Chinese film released in North America. Chen Kaige’s "Search" and Xiaogang Feng’s "Big Shot" have even worse box office results in North American cinemas. Search, which was delayed for 10 months, earned $1,067 at the box office in North America this year, almost breaking the embarrassing record of the lowest box office in North America for Chinese films held by Big Shot — — 820 dollars.

Up to now, a total of 656 new films have entered the North American cinema this year. Including Private Custom, which just appeared on the 20th, the number of Chinese films has reached 22, which is also higher than last year (20), creating a new high. In terms of box office revenue, the total box office of all new films was 9.613 billion US dollars, of which 7,639,800 were Chinese films. Although it rose by more than 60% compared with last year in terms of books, we should know that only "The Grand Master" contributed 6.595 million. Apart from The Master, which supports the facade, only four films, Drug War, Private Order (which is being released and the box office will increase), Destiny and Tai Chi Xia, barely passed the box office line of 100,000.

On the other hand, last year, as many as 10 films crossed the threshold of 100,000, mainly distributed in the range of 200,000-300,000, and the relatively average performance was much better than the generally bleak scene of Chinese films this year.

Analysis of Chinese film distributors: although Chinese lions are single-minded, their output is limited

Huashi is a "foreign monk" who devotes himself to making Chinese films distributed in North America. Founded in October 2010, Huashi has successively released two Xiaogang Feng masterpieces, Tangshan Earthquake and If You Are the One 2. In particular, the latter finally earned nearly 430,000 US dollars, which still holds the highest box office record for Huashi’s films.

In 2011-2012, Huashi indirectly released 21 Chinese films in two years, including many romantic films, such as Global Love, Love, love in the buff and Girlfriend • Boyfriend, etc., and the distribution of schedules is relatively even, which can be regarded as finding the rhythm of distribution, and also letting North American audiences develop corresponding viewing habits. However, due to the CEO milt &bull before February this year; Barlow’s resignation led to the reorganization of the company’s management. Until mid-June, China Lion released its first work "To Youth" in 2013, and the audience’s enthusiasm was not high. In the end, it only achieved a single performance of less than $4,000. However, the box office of the following two "Tiny Times" was significantly higher, and the revenue of a single museum exceeded $7,000.

Throughout the past three years, the scale of Huashi’s films has obviously decreased, from the average number of 25 cinemas in 2011 to single digits this year, and the performance of a single museum has also declined. It seems that it will take time to recover. When asked about the challenges faced by the company, Robert &bull, vice president of China Lion North America; Lundberg admitted to the Tencent reporter that "piracy is a big blow and a big problem". In addition, compared with the first two local teams who are willing to spend money on advertising, Chinese lions are also quite restrained in the cost of publicity. In addition to paying for outdoor advertisements for individual films [such as "1942"], they still focus on low-cost social platform promotion and grassroots word-of-mouth marketing.

Of course, talking about the box office can’t just look at the overall performance. When measuring the box office results, North American publishers also value the single-store income (the average box office of each theater) because it can more objectively reflect the performance of the film. For example, the box office champion "The Grandmaster", due to the large-scale release of the film in 804 theaters in the United States, its single-room income ($8,202.7) is not as good as the small-scale release of the well-known masterpiece "Destiny" ($16,853.2) — — The latter was only shown in six cinemas for a short time (recently, IFC Cinema in new york began to show the film at the request of the audience). Looking at the 22 Chinese films this year, as many as 14 films earned less than $5,000 in a single library, while only 6 films did not cross the line last year.

In the past four years, Chinese films have been stumbling forward in North America. From 6 movies in 2010 to 1.093 million, 16 movies in 2011 to 3.072 million, 20 movies in 2012 to 7.64 million this year, although the number has been increasing, the pattern of limited influence, excessive dependence on individual movies and large box office fluctuations has not changed. (Editor’s Note: snow flower and the secret fan is usually counted as an English film, so it is not included in the following table)

Chinese films are struggling.

How much did the North American film market leave for China?

In the entire North American film market, American films account for 92%, European films account for 6%, and only the remaining 2% is reserved for other countries, including India, South Korea and Japan. Many people in the industry believe that even if the 2% market share is completely won, it will not have much effective effect on the development space of China films. Nowadays, Japan and South Korea have gradually lost their local film markets, and all of them have been "occupied" by Hollywood films. China’s film market is also facing the same problem. Therefore, in the face of the dilemma of the loss of the local market, the capital behind the film is even more reluctant to take risks.

Nowadays, a large amount of hot money has poured into the mainland market, which makes more film practitioners turn their attention from export to domestic sales. Some production companies have figured that instead of spending a lot of money to invest overseas, it is better to quickly dig for gold in the domestic market.

Luo Sidian, an expert on film studies in China, once said that such a problem is a structural obstacle for all non-English films to enter the American film market. Because in the eyes of American audiences, non-English movies are "art movies", and "art movies" can only be released in the category of art theaters.

The publisher team has expanded, but it is still a game for a few people.

In North America, cinema distribution itself is a highly competitive and difficult business, while Chinese films are obviously not mainstream films, and the market space is very narrow, so the number of "players" that can be accommodated is also limited. Among them, there are companies like China lion and WellGo that are struggling to survive; There is also the unfortunate Indomina Media who was dragged down after several films were released; The remaining filmmakers with deep pockets only occasionally taste the "freshness" of Chinese films — — In the past four years, although the number of Chinese film distributors in North America has expanded slightly, from the initial five or six to about ten now, its niche market is still an indisputable fact.

The impact of "beating" will eventually change, and urban love is difficult to "try and make mistakes"

What kind of Chinese films sell well in North America? I’m afraid the film, the creator and the media people can’t give a standard answer. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero and other films have set box office records for more than ten years, but Chinese films are still at the level of "beating" a few mainstream audiences in North America. However, it’s a bit reluctant to let the series of Ip Man and various films around key words such as "Tai Chi" and "Kung Fu" prop up the whole situation. Therefore, it is a gratifying progress to see that the Chinese lion pays attention to developing the market for Chinese students and new immigrants, and tries to introduce various urban youth romance films from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Although the effect is still mixed, no matter how "wrong" it is, you can finally try "right" only if you keep trying.

Schedule? Piracy? It is king to choose the right film and publicize it in place.

Speaking of the reasons for the bleak box office in North America in Chinese films, it is often simply and rudely attributed to the publisher’s failure to choose the right screening date, which made piracy take advantage of the loopholes and lost the box office. However, this year’s sharp contrast between The Master and The Dragon King, the capital of Di Renjie, makes this excuse really untenable: The release date of The Master in North America is seven and a half months later than that in the Mainland, while Di Renjie released by AMC appeared in North America simultaneously with the Mainland; On the one hand, there are theme types with broad market potential, coupled with precise marketing with full firepower, on the other hand, there are stories that are too foreign and appear quietly. In the end, the vastly different box office performances of both sides speak for themselves.

Analysis of Chinese Film Distributors: Varnstam has deep pockets and hard skills.

This year’s 22 Chinese films are distributed by 12 different companies, and they can also be roughly divided into several echelons. First of all, Varnstam, a well-known independent publisher in Hollywood, has always been famous for his "winning a good film", "generous publicity expenses" and "tough public relations skills", and is regarded as the leader in the industry. This time, the release of "The Grand Master", Varnstam not only let director Wong Kar-wai and starring Zhang Ziyi go to all parts of the United States for publicity, but also marked "Martin • Scorsese strongly recommended the localization label, and invited him to attend the grand premiere of the film in new york. In addition, the group went to the San Diego Comic-Con, and of course, the special screening for Oscar held in Los Angeles earned enough attention.

At the same time, Varnstam also cooperated with The New York Times, LA Times and other major media and professional magazines in all kinds of film reviews, advertisements and public relations manuscripts, and created wonderful trailers for North American audiences. Both online and offline, the publicity work was done quite well. On the day of the film’s release in Los Angeles, the author went to watch the movie at the first time and found that most of the audience were Americans. The cinema I went to, which is located in the west of Los Angeles and adjacent to Beverly Hills, rarely showed Chinese movies before because of its superior geographical position. Presumably, only such a strong distributor as Varnstam can seize a place from it.

Even a rough calculation shows that the publication cost of "The Grand Master" is definitely more than one million dollars (the "admission fee" paid to the cinema alone is 8-1,000 dollars/home, and more than 800 cinemas have counted nearly 800,000), but I just don’t know whether the box office of less than 7 million in the end can make Varnstam return to the book. But Varnstam doesn’t seem to care — — It is said that Harvey, the boss of the company, took the film mainly to "please" Megan &bull, the owner of Annapurna Pictures, the nominal publisher of the film; Ellison — — Larry &bull, the founder and CEO of Oracle Bone Inscriptions; Ellison’s daughter is a well-known local tyrant in Hollywood, and she has invested in masterpieces such as The Master, Hunting Bin Laden and american hustle. As an investment and production company, Annapurna Pictures didn’t publicize its resources and experience, but Varnstam’s joining just sold his personal feelings in exchange for further cooperation between the two companies in the future. Therefore, regardless of the film’s profit and loss geometry, Varnstam will bear it.

Medium players have their own main characters.

Secondly, it is a medium-sized independent publisher with a good reputation in North Varnstam, including’s newly established sub-brands, such as Radius-TWC, VarianceFilms, Kino Lorber, First Run and Magnolia (CJ Entertainment, a Korean company, has only released a Chinese-language film of Breaking Up Contract co-produced by China and South Korea, so it is not included). Except for Variance Films, which has a lot of experience in publishing Chinese films, the others have released one occasionally every two or three years, which can be said to be in the stage of cautiously testing the water, but almost every one has its own main genre.

For example, this year brought Keanu • Radius-TWC, the debut film of Tai Chi Xia directed by Reeves, released its last Chinese film at the end of last year, and it seems that it is still conservatively following the traditional blockbuster themes of Chinese films such as "action" and "martial arts". Magnolia’s last film was Warlords in 2010. After three years, it chose the fantasy film The Legend of the White Snake, and still promoted Jet Li, which is quite appealing in North America. Although these companies are a long way behind Vivern Stein in the publicity strength, the number of cinemas is only single digits, and the number of cinemas is only around 30, but due to better control on the scale, almost all of their films released this year have earned more than or close to $5,000. Of course, the performance of Tai Chi Xia is really disappointing — — Because of its global and prestige background, Radius was able to spread in more than 100 theaters in the United States, but as a result, the box office of a single museum was reduced to a pitiful $910, which really lost a lot of money.

In the second echelon, Variance Films should be regarded as a special case. Since 2011, the company has issued Ip Man 2 and Jingwu Fengyun • Zhen Chen, New Shaolin Temple, Revolution of 1911, Let Bullets Fly, Tai Chi 1: Starting from scratch and this year’s Drug War are seven action-oriented films, and their box office results are above average. However, after investigation by the author, it is found that the distribution rights of these films are actually in the hands of another company, WellGo USA, which is good at the distribution of DVDs, VOD and other media platforms. For example, many Chinese films seen by North American audiences on Netflix and other video sites are distributed through WellGo. However, in terms of cinema distribution, WellGo has no advantage, which can be seen from its single-room revenue struggling on the qualified line: Four films released by WellGo this year, Love on the Rooftop, Ip Man: The Last World War, Tai Chi 2: The Rise of Heroes and guillotines, all rank in the middle and lower reaches of the list in terms of box office and single-room revenue.

Therefore, in many cases, WellGo will choose to hire more powerful Variance Films to be responsible for cinema distribution, while focusing on other platforms. Thus, the publishers of Taiji series and Ip Man series jumped back to WellGo from Variance. In fact, the same company was behind it, but the people who came forward were different. Besides Chinese films, WellGo will also release Korean films. In view of the different performances of Chinese and Korean films in North America, WellGo CEO Anne • In an exclusive interview with Tencent reporters, Walker bluntly said, "Chinese people have a poor habit of watching movies."

Analysis of Chinese film publishers: Wanda’s acquisition of AMC has hit a wall.

Finally, AMC cinema is also worth mentioning. Since it was acquired by Wanda Group in May last year, AMC, as the second largest cinema group in the United States, began to try to make film distribution across borders. This year, it released "It’ s too embarrassing for people to stop" and "Di Renjie • Three films: The Dragon King, the God Capital, and the Chinese Zodiac.

Among them, the first two films were screened in its 35 better cinemas, while the last film was spread to 102 cinemas in the United States. However, due to the unclear audience positioning and lack of publicity and promotion, the box office of the three films is not ideal, especially "Zodiac" by Jackie Chan, although it is a good selling theme of action comedy, only earned a mere $100,000 at the box office, and the income of a single museum was only $970.

Closing statement:

Unlike the mainland film market, which has entered a period of rapid and vigorous development, the journey of Chinese films in Hollywood is still in a difficult initial stage. In 2014, a series of works, including Detective, Demon Journey to the West, Magic Police and Frozen, will appear on the other side of the ocean one after another. Although the final box office performance will probably not improve, it will promote the progress of Chinese films in North America again. Chinese export films still have a long way to go. ……

On April 20th, on the occasion of the 56th World Earth Day, a construction site in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province opened its doors to popularize the technological achievements of low-carbon construction for the citizens.

"This is the pier of the bridge, just like the’ leg’ of the bridge. Under our feet is an integrated ladder cage and an outer frame platform used for pier construction. Different from other construction sites, these facade platforms are composed of modularity, just like building blocks, which can be assembled by themselves according to production needs, which reduces the steel loss by 25% compared with traditional scaffolding, which is both environmentally friendly and efficient. " The technician of Zhenghe Avenue Project of China Railway Eighth Bureau, the construction party, said.

"In the past, we were faced with all units in the industry. This time, opening the door to the general public is not only a test of the project construction level, but also enhances the communication between enterprises and society." At the activity site, Yang Zhiqiang was introducing the energy-saving and emission-reduction technologies, green construction techniques and the results of resource recycling applied in the project construction to the surrounding residents who came to visit.

Walking into the construction site, there was no smoke and dust generated by mechanical exhaust, and rows of piers rose from the ground to take shape. The standardized and intelligent construction scene made the visiting residents stop to take pictures. Yang Zhiqiang said: "This is an automatic dust monitoring system, which can be intelligently linked with the enclosure spray device. When the values of PM2.5 and PM10 on site exceed the standard, the system will automatically trigger the spray to let the dust’ fall to the ground’, thus realizing dynamic control." Not only do environmental protection in the enclosure be well implemented, but the project department also upgraded the automatic car washing device at the entrance and exit of the construction site. The sewage after precipitation and filtration can be used for secondary washing of vehicles and sprinkling water on roads to suppress dust. Through recycling, the construction water can be saved by 2000 tons on site every year.

From the construction point of view, it is not an easy task to achieve low carbon. Since entering the site, the Zhenghe Avenue project team of China Railway Eighth Bureau has insisted on integrating the concept of "zero carbon" into the construction details, and introduced a number of environmental protection measures in view of the high energy consumption and high pollution points in traditional construction. Through the linkage of mechanization+intelligence+greening, the project construction has started at full speed.

According to Jiang Yong, the person in charge of the project, the idea of reducing carbon in the project department starts from "replacement" and "reduction". For example, after the construction wastes are classified, hard wastes such as concrete blocks and masonry are broken into construction access roads, steel scraps are recycled into safety guardrails, and wood scraps are processed into temporary facility templates, with a comprehensive utilization rate of over 60%; The temporary facilities on the site are all made of reusable materials, and 70% of the components can be reused after the project. In addition, the introduction of solar outdoor lighting in the living quarters of the construction site can save about 12,000 kWh of electricity every year.

"It’s really not the same as the imagined construction site. I used to worry that the production of construction sites nearby would affect my life. Today, I see that there are so many scientific and environmental protection measures to ensure it, and my heart is much more practical!" Ms. Zhang, a surrounding resident who participated in the event, said with emotion. As a key project in Huishan District, Wuxi City, the construction of the bridge substructure of the project is currently in full swing. Talking about the follow-up construction plan, Jiang Yong said that in the future, the project department will actively apply AI technology to help in resource allocation and further realize the carbon reduction goal of the project construction.
