▍ Industry concentration has been further improved.

In 2019, there were frequent mergers and acquisitions between pharmaceutical companies. Observing these cases, we can find that some of them spun off their subsidiaries and some strengthened their own strengths through acquisitions. In addition, the sale of non-core assets by foreign pharmaceutical companies and the takeover by domestic pharmaceutical companies have also caused industry analysis.

In these cases, some of them have been completed and some are still in progress. Through the inventory of one-year acquisition cases, it seems that the industry is progressing in the direction of increasing concentration.

With the deepening of medical reform, the implementation of policies such as consistency evaluation, quantity procurement and DRG, and the improvement of industry access threshold, SMEs will be acquired more frequently by large enterprises.

Of course, this is just like the plan of "supporting the merger and reorganization of pharmaceutical production enterprises, cultivating a number of large enterprise groups with international competitiveness, and improving the concentration of pharmaceutical industry" in the "Several Opinions on Further Reforming and Improving the Policy of Drug Production, Circulation and Use" issued by the State Council in early 2017.

Some analysts believe that pharmaceutical companies sell houses to survive, but a more rational view should be due to the limited value-added space of real estate.

1% to 10%, break through! Aiming at overseas "track" enterprises to usher in new business opportunities and new development

  CCTV News:At the beginning of 2024, in Zhejiang, a major foreign trade province, many enterprises have embarked on a new journey of "going out to sea" to grab orders. Not long ago, Zhejiang released the foreign trade data of the whole province in 2023. In 2023, the total import and export volume of Zhejiang reached 4.90 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. Among them, the export was 3.57 trillion yuan, an increase of 3.9%; Imports reached 1.33 trillion yuan, up 6.7%.

  Zhejiang Province proposes that it will do everything possible to stabilize foreign trade and optimize foreign investment, continue to lay a good combination of "stabilizing expansion and adjustment", further promote the action of "thousands of enterprises expand the market to increase orders", and cultivate new foreign trade formats and models such as overseas warehouses and digital trade to ensure that the share of exports in the country is basically stable. In the new year, Zhejiang government and enterprises joined forces to seize the start, laying a solid foundation for new achievements in foreign trade in the new year.

  In the past 10 years, the company has seized the opportunity of the rapid growth of textile and garment industry in the countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road", done a good job in market segmentation according to the market characteristics of the countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road", and established extensive cooperative relations with customers in the countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road".

  Just over 8,000 kilometers away in the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone, the first overseas factory of Caidie’s "Belt and Road" countries has officially laid the foundation stone. Compared with Butterfly, China Jushi, located in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province, has taken the lead in setting up factories overseas in the Belt and Road Initiative.

  In 2012, China Jushi set up a factory in Egypt. In 10 years, Jushi Egypt’s glass fiber production capacity jumped from 80,000 tons to 340,000 tons. The rich local mineral resources and human resources have been effectively utilized, which directly promoted local development and directly created more than 2,000 local jobs.

  Enterprises are in action and the government is not idle. In 2024, Zhejiang Province will launch a new round of "thousands of enterprises" to expand the market and increase orders. In the first quarter, the province planned to organize 385 delegations, and planned to organize more than 4,000 enterprises with more than 6,000 people, including 128 delegations in January, with more than 1,500 enterprises planned. In 2024, we will strive to organize more than 1,000 delegations and more than 10,000 enterprises in the province to expand overseas and support more than 100 provincial-level key exhibitions.

  In 2023, Zhejiang’s foreign trade withstood multiple pressures such as sluggish external demand and falling prices, and its import, export and import all achieved positive growth. The bright data also shows that the diversified expansion of Zhejiang enterprises in the trade market is effective, and emerging markets are gradually becoming mature markets.

  According to statistics, in 2023, Zhejiang imported and exported 2.55 trillion yuan to countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road", an increase of 8.2%, accounting for 52.1% of the province’s total import and export value, and contributing 89.5% to the province’s import and export growth.

  The "second generation of factory" has undergone drastic transformation and upgrading, and foreign trade has made new development.

  As a big province of private economy, Zhejiang’s "private foreign trade" has distinct characteristics. The data shows that Zhejiang private enterprises continue to play the role of "ballast stone" in stabilizing foreign trade. In 2023, the number of private enterprises with import and export performance in Zhejiang exceeded 100,000 for the first time, reaching 102,000, and the total import and export accounted for more than 80% of the province’s foreign trade for the first time, driving the province’s foreign trade growth rate by 5.6 percentage points.

  Behind the development of private foreign trade, the reporter found that from the early days of reform and opening up, private enterprises developed and expanded, and the older generation of factory directors seized the opportunity to save their family business to the period of transformation of old and new kinetic energy. A group of "post-80 s" and "post-90 s" young people took over the baton of their parents and became the "second generation of factories". Facing the current complicated foreign trade situation and the new environment of traditional manufacturing industry, how did they break through the trend?

  Ke Qiao, Shaoxing, Zhejiang is the largest textile trade distribution center in the world. With the change of economic environment, the cost of labor and raw materials has risen sharply, but the order volume has dropped sharply.

  Shao Lingbin, the second generation of the factory, took over the enterprise in 2016. When it first took over, the enterprise still followed the traditional way of foreign trade development, relying on the mode of "receiving orders and producing" to make profits. However, with the intensification of product homogenization competition and the dilution of profits, the factory has fallen into a dilemma of development. As a last resort, Shao Lingbin began a drastic road of transformation.

  Shao Lingbin aims to be the top-notch in the industry, investing 10 million yuan in research and development expenses every year, setting up a special team and hiring high-end designers from all over the world with high salaries. After more than three years of research and development, the enterprise finally broke the technical monopoly of foreign enterprises on acetic acid fabrics, and became the national development base of acetic acid and polyester fashion fabrics in one fell swoop, successfully filling the gap in the domestic market.

  Yang Wei is a "post-80s" and a "second generation factory". At the beginning of the new year, the smart factory built by the enterprise with an investment of 150 million yuan has been partially put into production. During this time, he is busy purchasing equipment and checking the production line.

  In fact, when he first planned to do intelligent transformation, Yang Wei also encountered many voices of doubt.

  Yang Wei told reporters that after intelligent transformation, the production capacity of enterprises has increased by 50% and the production efficiency has increased by 30%.

  Breakthrough of 1% to 10% The number of cross-border online stores in Zhejiang has increased by 20,000 annually.

  With the rapid development of globalization and Internet technology, cross-border e-commerce has become a new kinetic energy for foreign trade development. At present, there are 199,000 active export online stores in Zhejiang Province, with an increase of 23,000 in 2023. The proportion of cross-border e-commerce goods in foreign trade has also increased from less than 1% in 2015 to nearly 10% in 2023. From "1" to "10", cross-border e-commerce is bringing new business opportunities to thousands of enterprises in Qian Qian.

  In a scooter manufacturer in Yongkang, Zhejiang, workers are rushing to make a batch of orders sent to Europe before the Spring Festival. In 2024, they just switched from domestic sales to cross-border e-commerce, and have already completed millions of dollars in sales.

  A cross-border e-commerce "zero-based" enterprise like this can not achieve such results in a short time without the guidance and training of service companies. Ruan Xueqing is the team leader responsible for the operation of this enterprise’s cross-border e-commerce project. In 2024, one tenth of the projects they received were pure domestic trade enterprises transformed into cross-border e-commerce.

  Nowadays, there are more and more domestic trade enterprises aiming at overseas "track". However, due to the different standards and needs of the domestic and foreign markets, the problem of "acclimatization" will also occur when domestic and foreign trade turn to each other. In the R&D department of this fitness equipment enterprise in Hangzhou, technicians are testing an intelligent spinning bike, which will be sold simultaneously in the international and domestic markets.

  Since 2022, this enterprise has been "going out to sea" through cross-border e-commerce brands, and its export sales have doubled, which is almost the same as domestic sales. In a promotion activity of overseas e-commerce platform, one of their rowing machine products sold 4500 units in two days, equivalent to domestic sales for half a year.

  According to the data of Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce, in 2023, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in the province was 512.93 billion yuan, an increase of 18.9% year-on-year. Among them, the export was 393.28 billion yuan, an increase of 24%.

Structural optimization, steady improvement and quality improvement, foreign trade has continuously reached a new level.

CCTV News:In the past ten years, China’s total trade in goods has been continuously improved, ranking first in the world for five consecutive years since 2017, and the total trade in goods and services has also jumped to the top in the world in 2020. While the high-quality development of trade has made historic achievements, the continuous improvement of China’s foreign trade has also played an important role in the development of the national economy and the recovery of the world economy.

Zheng Yuqiang, Beijing fruit distributor:We seldom sold jackfruit a few years ago. Now, if it is normal, it is no problem to sell (sell) more than ten tons a day.

In the past ten years, more and more imported fruits such as Philippine avocado, Cambodian banana, Lao citrus and South African pear have entered the mouth of China people. In 2021, China imported more than 7 million tons of fruit, compared with less than 3.45 million tons in 2012, and the import volume doubled in ten years.

Zhang Xiao, Director of the Inspection and Quarantine Department of Animals and Plants and Food of Nanning Customs:At present, the imported fruit varieties from ASEAN have increased from 53 varieties in six countries ten years ago to 77 varieties in the whole ASEAN countries.

Not only high-quality consumer goods such as fruit, but also the import scale of advanced technology and equipment, key parts and other products has been expanding over the past decade, which has better met the needs of domestic production and people’s lives, and also allowed the world to share more dividends brought by China’s economic growth. In 2021, China’s total import value reached 17.37 trillion yuan, an increase of 51.2% compared with 2012.

Professor Cui Fan, School of International Business and Economics, University of International Business and Economics:The country’s opening up, especially (import), includes high-quality products that are beneficial to people’s living standards and meet people’s needs, so that our trading partners can share the fruits of China’s economic development.

In the past ten years, China has taken the initiative to reduce commodity tariffs, and the total tariff level has dropped from 9.8% in 2012 to 7.4% in 2021. New trade formats and new kinetic energy are constantly being stimulated, and the import and export scale of cross-border e-commerce has increased nearly tenfold in the past five years.

High-level import and export will further optimize the trade structure. In a factory in Qingdao, Shandong Province, 10 sets of high-speed EMUs for Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway have been manufactured and are waiting for delivery. Last month, the first batch of Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway high-speed EMUs and comprehensive inspection trains exported to Indonesia arrived in Jakarta Port smoothly, which was the first time that China’s high-speed trains were exported abroad.

Zhang Fangtao, Chief Designer of Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway High-speed EMU:The Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway high-speed EMU will be sent to Indonesia in November, and Jakarta-Bandung High-speed Railway will be put into operation in 2023 according to the plan. By then, the travel time from Jakarta to Bandung will be shortened from the current three hours to about 40 minutes.

Going out with high-end equipment, there are our supporting services. In the past ten years, the leading export industries have been transformed and upgraded from traditional labor-intensive products to high-tech industries, and the knowledge-intensive service trade has maintained rapid growth.

Ma Qiang, Deputy General Manager of overseas business department of CRRC Sifang Co., Ltd.:We provide maintenance technical support for Argentine national railway company. Up to now, the company’s products and services have been exported to 29 countries and regions around the world.

From 24.4 trillion yuan in 2012 to 39.1 trillion yuan in 2021, in the past ten years, China’s total trade in goods has continued to increase, and its international market share has also increased from 10.4% in 2012 to 13.5% last year, and its position as the largest country in global trade in goods has been further consolidated. Nowadays, there are more and more high-level platforms for opening to the outside world, such as China China International Import Expo(CIIE), Service Trade Fair and Consumer Expo. China has set up 21 free trade zones and one free trade port, with free trade partners spread across five continents. In the past ten years, China’s average contribution rate to world economic growth reached 38.6%, ranking first in the world.

  The United States and Russia wrestle over South Ossetia.


  Georgian President Saakashvili has been pursuing the policy of actively integrating into the West and joining NATO since he took office. This policy is strongly supported by the United States.


  After Kosovo declared independence in February this year, Russia began to adjust its policy toward South Ossetia in order to counter the US position of recognizing Kosovo’s independence. On March 21, the Russian State Duma adopted a statement suggesting that the Russian President and government consider recognizing the independence of South Ossetia. Subsequently, then Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered relevant Russian parties to provide material assistance to residents of South Ossetia and Russian expatriates, and to establish a local mechanism to comprehensively protect the rights and freedoms of Russian expatriates.


  In view of this situation, Georgia resolutely opposes it on the one hand, and actively seeks international support, especially the support of the United States on the other. The Georgian army has also strengthened construction, equipped with new weapons, received training from American instructors, and conducted joint military exercises with the United States and other countries.


  Analysts believe that the independence of South Ossetia is a major obstacle for Georgia to join NATO, and Georgia launched such a large-scale military operation to eliminate this obstacle. Russia will never allow Georgia’s central government to fully control this region.


  Analysts believe that the United States and Russia are two key supporters of Georgia and South Ossetia respectively. The policies of the United States and Russia will affect the trend of the situation in South Ossetia.

  South Ossetia has a long history.


  South Ossetia, located in the Caucasus, is an autonomous prefecture of Georgia, bordering Russia’s North Ossetia, with an area of 3,900 square kilometers and 70,000 residents. South Ossetia demanded independence in the early 1990s, and there were many armed conflicts with the Georgian central government.


  Since 1992, Russia, Georgia, South Ossetia and North Ossetia have formed the Quadripartite Mixed Supervisory Committee to resolve the conflict in South Ossetia, and the former three parties have formed a mixed peacekeeping force to station in the conflict area.


  After taking office in early 2004, Georgian President Saakashvili promised to restore Georgia’s control over the entire South Ossetia region.


  In November 2006, the second referendum in South Ossetia passed the demand for independence, but it was not recognized by the central government.


  On August 7, 2008, Saakashvili announced a ceasefire and called on the South Ossetian authorities to cease fire immediately and respond to the proposal of direct negotiations. South Ossetia said it agreed to a temporary ceasefire.

Learn the daily question and answer of the Decision | Why should we promote the coordinated development and governance of medical care, medical insurance and medicine?

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 23 rd, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Decision on Further Deepening Reform and Promoting Chinese Modernization pointed out: "Promote the coordinated development and governance of medical care, medical insurance and medicine." Medical treatment refers to the medical and health services provided by medical and health institutions and medical personnel. It is the core content of medical treatment, health care and rehabilitation for the masses. It has the most direct relationship with the masses and the most concrete feelings of the masses. Medical insurance refers to the medical security system and its level of protection. Medical insurance fund is the "life-saving money" for people to see a doctor, and it is also an important source of financing for medical services and medical products. Medicine refers to Chinese and western medicines, medical devices, medical consumables and other related products. As an important means of medical and health services, it is directly related to the quality, safety and ability of services. The state exercises strict supervision over medical products to ensure quality, safety and effectiveness, and encourages innovation to increase the supply of high-quality medical products. There are three main considerations for the coordinated development and governance of "three medicines".

First, the "three doctors" are interrelated and inseparable. Medical care plays a major role in serving the people’s life, illness, illness, and medical treatment. By deepening the structural reform of the supply side of medical services, we will vigorously develop new quality productivity of health care, mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the majority of medical staff, promote the high-quality development of health care, and better meet the people’s yearning for a better life. Medical insurance is connected with the "demand side" of the people, which reduces the economic burden of patients by exerting the guarantee function; The other end is connected with the two "suppliers" of medical care and medicine, which can not only adjust the supply of medical services, standardize medical service behavior, promote hospital reform and promote graded diagnosis and treatment through payment methods and price policies, but also reduce the price of medical products through centralized procurement of pharmaceutical consumables and exert leverage. The production and supply of high-quality and high-efficiency pharmaceutical products provide necessary technical means and material guarantee for medical and health services, and at the same time get reasonable compensation from payers such as medical insurance to realize the healthy development of the industry. Medical care, medical insurance and medicine jointly protect people’s health. To improve the development level of health undertakings, it is necessary for relevant departments to cooperate closely and make concerted efforts to promote the coordinated development and governance of "three medicines".

Second, the coordinated development and governance of the "three medicines" can further benefit the people and the people and better solve the people’s livelihood problems. Medical and health service is an important part of public service and an important field that people expect for a better life. With the development of economy and society and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, people hope to obtain more safe, effective, convenient and cheap medical and health services, more comprehensive coverage and higher level of basic medical security, and innovative and advanced medical products. Only by vigorously promoting the coordinated development and governance of the "three medicines" and forming a joint effort can we better meet the people’s new expectations for a better life, improve the people’s sense of acquisition, happiness and security, and deepen the reform of the medical and health system to benefit people’s livelihood more directly.

Third, the coordinated development and governance of the "three medicines" is conducive to promoting the governance of all links in the whole chain of the medical field and correcting unhealthy trends. Influenced by many factors, there are still some phenomena and problems in the field of medicine and health that endanger the interests of the people and harm public welfare and people’s health rights and interests. Among them, there are some problems in medical service, such as big prescription, excessive examination and overuse of drugs, which damage people’s health and waste health resources; There are also fraudulent behaviors in the field of medical insurance, which seriously threaten the safety of medical insurance funds; There are also problems in the field of pharmaceutical production, circulation and sales, such as "sales with gold", price increases at different levels, and imaginary costs. These problems are often intertwined, connecting multiple stakeholders and running through many links of "three medicines". To solve these problems, we must adhere to the party’s leadership, treat both the symptoms and the root causes, strengthen supervision in the whole chain, comprehensively adopt institutional supervision, functional supervision, behavioral supervision, penetrating supervision, continuous supervision and other means, strengthen the linkage between the "three medical" departments, strengthen the connection between discipline and law and execution, and severely crack down on and punish acts that infringe on public rights and interests according to law. The coordinated development and management of the "three medicines" can achieve the above objectives, and play a positive role in controlling unhealthy trends and establishing new trends in the industry, and play a significant role.

Is it not accidental that two Chinese people were arrested for bringing chameleons back to China?

       CCTV News:These days, a storm surrounding Madagascar chameleon has been fermenting. The cause of the incident should also start with a post from a Weibo netizen named @ Daiwa Exploring the World. On February 18th, the day before the Lunar New Year Lantern Festival, this Weibo netizen @ Daiwa explored the world and published an article entitled "Help my mother quickly". This article said that two China men, Wu Mou and Ma Moumou, organized and led a group of 19 parents and children to Madagascar for the New Year in February this year, and participated in outdoor activities such as parent-child popular science tours.

       According to the article, the so-called China men Wu Mou and Ma Moumou claimed to be "entomologists of China Academy of Sciences", but they led their children and parents to "teach children to catch wild animals with their bare hands" and even violated local laws during their travels in Madagascar, regardless of their lives. According to the article, when the group returned to China, they put a live chameleon in the bag of a child’s parents and tried to smuggle it back to China. As a result, the so-called "organizer" Ma Moumou and the parents were arrested by the Madagascar police at the airport, with a maximum of 10 years’ imprisonment and a high fine of up to 200 million Malagasy dollars (about 400,000 yuan).

       There are many questions to be solved about the private chameleon.

       At present, there are still many doubts about this incident. Are the "Wu Mou and Ma Moumou" mentioned in this net really the so-called "insect experts of China Academy of Sciences"? During the Chinese New Year this year, the 19-member scientific delegation led by them, including parents and children, traveled to Madagascar. Is it really qualified? The most controversial point is whether a China parent who was detained by the Malagasy police involved brought the chameleon back to China privately, or "Wu Mou and Ma Moumou", as mentioned in the article, secretly put the live chameleon in her backpack in an attempt to bring it back to China without the parents’ knowledge. Although these questions haven’t been clearly answered, official website, the Embassy of China in Madagascar, has released the relevant notice of this incident. At present, this incident of "China tourists being detained by Madagascar police on suspicion of taking prohibited items such as chameleons out of the country" is in the judicial review stage, and there is no specific court date.

       There is no specific court date under judicial review.

       China’s Embassy in the Republic of Madagascar, official website, reported on February 18th that tourists from China were detained by Madagascar police on suspicion of bringing chameleons and other prohibited items out of the country. At present, the matter is in the stage of judicial review, and there is no specific court date.

       This outdoor activity was jointly initiated by Wu and Ma, and set off from China on February 6th at the tropical rain forest on the east and west coasts of Madagascar. Most of the members who participated in the outdoor activities were children and parents who liked insects, animals and plants. According to media reports, the wild animals seized this time, including a chameleon, a lizard and fifteen centipedes, were all placed in plastic boxes covered with cotton wool. Lawyers said that those involved may face a fine of 40,000 euros.

       Malaysia has strict regulations on the exit of "endangered animals and plants"

       Let’s also briefly understand Madagascar’s strict regulations on the entry and exit of endangered animals and plants. Just now, we saw a lawyer say that if you leave the country with endangered animals and plants according to previous local laws, you may face a fine of 40,000 euros, equivalent to about 300,000 yuan. However, we also checked the entry-exit customs office at the airport in Tanana Lifu, Madagascar’s capital, and clearly posted the management requirements for carrying jewelry, herbs, endangered animals and plants, frozen meat, alcohol and other items. The maximum penalty is far more than the 40,000 euros mentioned by lawyers.

       According to Malaysian customs regulations, if you carry "endangered animals and plants", you need to apply for the import and export license allowed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and you need to apply for an epidemic prevention certificate if you carry "live animals"; Once violations are found, those who transport endangered animals and plants without permission will be punished with 2 to 10 years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to 200 million Arial (equivalent to about 400,000 yuan). Although not all kinds of chameleons, lizards and centipedes are endangered animals, the corresponding criminal punishment of "transporting endangered animals and plants" is the heaviest compared with illegal transportation of drugs, weapons and illegal food in Malaysian customs regulations.

       Not by chance? The organizers involved are frequently exposed.

       What is the truth of this case, we have to wait for the Malaysian judicial review and court session to come to the bottom. However, some background about this "China tourists are suspected of bringing chameleons back to China privately" has also attracted great media attention. After the incident, some media found that this did not seem to be an accident. Because the so-called "organizers" Ma Moumou and Wu Mou, who went to Madagascar for a popular science parent-child tour, were previously exposed to abetting and luring children and parents to hunt protected wild animals and bring them into the country, not only "teaching children to catch bats with their bare hands", but also "teaching children to catch wild animals". At the same time, another "organizer" Wu Mou also flowed out on the Internet, and in Weibo, he exposed various "intimate photos" of Malaysian animals and plants such as chameleons during his trip to Malaysia, but the legality could not be confirmed; However, after the incident, Wu Mou, the organizer of the group, deleted a large number of Weibo words and pictures. In addition, as far as Ma’s identity is concerned, some media have revealed that he is an "expert who impersonates a member of the Science Education Alliance of the Chinese Academy of Sciences", but in fact he is an insect dealer who sells wild animals and plants, but this statement has not been verified. In this regard, on February 19, the official micro "Voice of the Chinese Academy of Sciences" of the Chinese Academy of Sciences also forwarded "Ma Moumou pretends to be Weibo, a so-called expert of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

       Expert Interpretation: Wild animals and plants should be "viewed from a distance"

       In recent years, popular science parent-child travel is very popular, but what should we pay attention to when we are in close contact with wild animals? Come and listen to the expert’s analysis.

       Experts said that ecotourism, as a new way of tourism, is deeply loved by parents and friends because it is close to nature and entertaining. However, wild animals often carry viruses themselves and their temperament is elusive. It is very dangerous to reach out and touch without isolation measures, not to mention catching them by hand or even bringing exotic species back to China. Experts say that in addition to violating the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, bringing exotic species back to China will also lead to species invasion, which will damage biodiversity protection and ecological environment.

       So how should we treat wild animals? Experts suggest that tourists should respect all life in nature and get to know them without disturbing their normal life.

       Zhang Na, an expert in animal and plant protection, said, "I think we should follow the principle of three noes when dealing with wild animals, that is, no trapping, no touching and no disturbing. We should know from an early age that wild animals belong to nature and are our friends, so we should respect them. We will observe them and understand them without disturbing their normal life, and then we hope that everyone can respect all life in nature. "

It can be seen from the outline that there is still an obvious Buick family design language. Regal’s front grille is exquisite, and it is matched with the "Buick" logo, which makes the front face of the vehicle look radical. The headlights on both sides are quite unique in shape, and they look very energetic after being lit.

Short plays have a sense of existence in the Spring Festival of 2024.

Text | Rhino Entertainment Shen Wanting

Editor | Park Fang

In this Spring Festival drama market, short plays are a bit popular.

First, a small program short play "I became a stepmother in the 1980s" overtook on social media, then Tencent’s video short play "Give her a handle" rushed to the top two in Weibo’s hot search list, and Rainbow starred in Tik Tok’s short play "Big New Year’s Day", which triggered a heated discussion …

Behind the heat and traffic is the high demand for short drama content, and the scheduled operation of short drama Spring Festival files by platforms, content companies and other parties.

A short program to recreate the myth of "getting rich"

After a period of silence, the short play of small programs took on a "splash of wealth" during the Spring Festival in 2024. What I have to mention here is "I became a stepmother in the 1980s" (hereinafter referred to as "stepmother"), which rushed to the second place in the DataEye short play heat list on February 12th.

This is a paid vertical screen short play, each episode lasts for 1-2 minutes, with a total of 82 episodes, which can be finished in two hours. To put it simply, "Stepmother" is a female short drama that makes people "go to the top". It belongs to the rural love theme in the era when the short drama market is scarce. It is probably about a female college student who went back to the second marriage pig farmer who married in the countryside in the 1980s and became the stepmother of two children. The two of them went through five hurdles and cut six generals all the way and lived a happy life.

Since the show was launched, the related content has quickly attracted widespread attention on social platforms such as Tik Tok and Weibo. As of February 19th, the topic # I became a stepmother in 1980s has been played 500 million times in Tik Tok. And according to the data released by New Wrist and Whip Cowboy, the drama topped the list of short plays in Tik Tok on the second day after its launch. On the Weibo, actor Su Lihe, who plays the male lead, also attracted a lot of "face powder" because he bumped into male stars such as Wallace Huo and Sean Xiao.

Not only that, this drama once again shows the myth of "getting rich" in the short drama industry. According to industry sources, the shooting cycle of "Stepmother" is only 10 days, and 80,000 yuan was invested in the later period, but the single-day recharge was as high as 20 million yuan. This input-output ratio is really amazing.

The reasons for its going out of the circle are as follows: firstly, it is attributed to the fact that it has no "urine point" feeling in the whole process and the people who are in line with the aesthetics of the majority of the audience. The female host is full of firepower and never has internal friction. The male host has the face and money and unconditionally trusts the female host, giving the audience a "breast-opening" viewing experience. Secondly, the male and female protagonists are online, and the drama party makes full use of this to make a big fuss about the publicity. In addition to the male coach being like a "top-notch", the female protagonist looks a bit like Han Xing Sulli in those days. In short, this wave of popularity was "rubbed" by Stepmother.

Of course, the offensive of short programs during the Spring Festival is not limited to this. Many short plays, including "Mr. Li, you are looking for the wrong wife", "The Attack Plan of Ill-tempered Villains", "the Year of the Loong’s Return to the Home with Great Prosperity" and "Emperor of Kowloon", are widely circulated on various social platforms. Among them, the urban romantic comedy "Li Zong, you have the wrong wife" from the same producer as "Stepmother" ranked first in the DataEye short drama thermal list for three consecutive days, which is also simple and rude "cool" and high configuration of handsome men and beautiful women.

However, objectively speaking, no matter the content or production, these short programs are still far from the short dramas of various video platforms, and problems such as routinization and roughness still exist. However, we must also admit that the creators in this field are always good at providing immediate emotional value to the current audience. If we find the key points of publicity again, it should not be difficult to obtain short-term high returns.

Long and short video platforms "align" with fine short plays

Small programs and short plays are hot in the Spring Festival file, and the long and short video platforms are also full of smoke.

Before the Spring Festival, the Network Audio-visual Department of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television focused on promoting 16 excellent mini-short plays launched during the Spring Festival, and Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker also officially announced the film list in advance. At present, all platforms have come up with projects at the bottom of the box to welcome the first Spring Festival file belonging to short plays, and the market response of many works has reached the level of hit.

The long video platform represented by Aiyou Tengmang has not promoted short plays as much as long ones, but there are still short plays that give surprises in terms of popularity and word of mouth.

In terms of popularity, Tencent video’s costume love miniseries "Give her a handle" is outstanding. After it was launched, the popularity in the station quickly broke through 20,000 and reached the top of the cat’s eye short drama list for several days in a row. # Jewel Lee gave her a handle #, # gave her a handle with great stamina #, # gave her a handle he or be# and other topics have repeatedly boarded the hot search in Weibo.

The play is directed by Zhou Xiao, the director who has created many well-known short plays, such as "This man is a little cold" and "Ten Thousand Slags at the Phoenix", and starred by Jewel Lee, a popular actor in the short drama industry. The plot focuses on sadism, complicated relationships between characters, crazy literature, and a lot of other elements.

In terms of word-of-mouth, "Young Master and Me" of iQiyi’s "Little Funny Theater" got a score of 7.4, which is a good result in the short drama market. As a derivative customized short drama of the Aiqiyi ace comedy variety "The Annual Comedy Contest", the drama was created by the Aiqiyi Sesame Pod Studio, which produced many comedies such as "Broken Elite" and "Love Apartment 5", and incorporated many elements such as the Republic of China, modernity, martial arts, infinite flow, etc., so that the industry can once again see the feasibility of the linkage between variety and drama.

On February 8th, the mini-drama "Aunt’s World New Year’s Eve" focusing on the elderly was jointly broadcast on Mango TV and Tik Tok, and then landed on Hunan Satellite TV, which became the first work of both sides after the release of the "Excellent Short Drama Support Plan". The drama was once on the hot list of Tik Tok during the Spring Festival. In addition, The Little Beast and the Demon Catcher, which was created by Escape from the British Museum’s creative team, has been broadcast on Mango TV, Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker, Bili Bili and other platforms. As of February 19th, the average praise of the drama in Tik Tok has exceeded 1 million.

On February 17th, the micro-short drama "Flying Youth" launched on Youku focused on the theme of rural cultural tourism in the new era, and deeply integrated the beauty, food, culture and plot, which conformed to the mainstream trend of the short drama industry.

Short video platforms, represented by Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker, pay more attention to the Spring Festival file of short plays, including single-film publicity, in-station drainage, and the participation of head film and television companies and famous actors.

Tik Tok is dominated by short dramas derived from popular movies or long dramas, such as "Beyond it" derived from the animated film "The Lion Boy". A Juan, My Way Home is Windy, which is adapted from the hit TV series Go to a Windy Place, and Tianya little nyonya, a derivative of the long drama little nyonya, etc. There are also many production companies behind them, such as Baina Qiancheng, Huace Film and Television and Changxin Media.

It is noteworthy that the urban family short play "The Great New Year’s Day" starring Rainbow and Li Chuan has caused extensive discussions after it was launched in Tik Tok, and most of them focused on the disputes on topics such as "Rainbow went to play a short play" and "Rainbow responded to play a short play". The play, jointly produced by Perfect Film and Tik Tok, is the perfect follow-up to "Full-time husband training plan" and "Wake up! Another short drama with realistic theme after "Love Brain", the production standard is a long drama.

The star effect is even more obvious in Aauto Quicker. Four of the six short dramas of the Spring Festival are performed by stars. Among them, three short dramas of stars, I Open a Bar in Dasong, Yuanyang Duane and Super Sitting Class, which are co-operated with Tmall, have assembled a number of long dramas such as Zhang Xiaolong, Xi Lan, Chun Li, Andrew and Guo Xiaoting. Song Muzi and Qiao Shan were invited to the star short play "All the Way Home" by JD.COM Auto and Aauto Quicker. However, compared with Tik Tok, the short plays launched in Aauto Quicker before and after the Spring Festival are not strong in overall popularity, but they are still profitable in business.

The Spring Festival holiday has ended. Judging from the competition pattern of short dramas in this year’s Spring Festival, short dramas will still be the focus of all platforms in 2024, and "quality" will become more and more mentioned words. What needs to be vigilant is that quality is the general trend, but we should also avoid putting the cart before the horse. The investment in stars, clothing and other aspects can certainly be icing on the cake, but the improvement of content quality is the most important thing.

Reuters: Pyongyang may have the ability to independently develop missile engines.

  CCTV News:In response to the news reported by the US media on the 14th that the Ukrainian Southern Design Bureau sold missile engines to North Korea, the Ukrainian side voiced for two consecutive days, firmly denying the incident and suggesting that Russia was behind the scenes. In this regard, Russia also responded strongly: criticizing Ukraine for wanting to "shabu-shabu".

RD-250 engine

RD-250 engine

  On 14th, The New York Times quoted a military expert as saying that North Korea successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile last month, probably because it bought missile engines from Ukrainian enterprises in the arms black market. A research report published by the Institute for International Strategic Studies in London, UK, further pointed out: "No other country can develop from having medium-range missiles to having intercontinental ballistic missiles in such a short time. This speed means that North Korea has obtained a high-performance liquid fuel engine from abroad, and only the RD-250 engine manufactured by the Southern Design Bureau of Ukraine meets the external characteristics of North Korea’s new engine. "

  In this regard, the Ukrainian side voiced for two consecutive days and denied the incident.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Groisman

  Ukrainian Prime Minister Groisman said that this is aimed at sowing dissension against Ukraine. I believe the statement of the National Security and National Defense Commission, and I can assure you that there is no such thing at all.

  The Southern Design Bureau of Ukraine was established in 1954, and its full name is the Southern Machinery Manufacturing Scientific Research and Production Consortium, located in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine. Its original purpose was to design ballistic missiles for dropping nuclear warheads. After the American media reported, the Southern Design Bureau has issued a statement that Ukraine has not provided military missile engines to any country since its independence in 1991.

  The Ukrainian Space Agency hinted that Russia was behind the scenes.

  The Ukrainian National Space Agency further issued a statement, suggesting that Russia is behind the scenes.

  Yuri Radcenco, head of the Ukrainian National Space Agency, said that this kind of engine was produced in Ukraine before 2001 and was widely used in two projects, namely "Cyclone 2" and "Cyclone 3", which were supplied by the Southern Machinery Factory for Russian projects, but not produced for Ukraine itself.

  When this statement came out, it was immediately countered by the Russian side.

  The host of Russia’s first channel reported that what they mean is that Russia disassembled the "Cyclone" missile into components and gave the most precious engine to North Korea without feeling distressed. That’s ridiculous!

  On 15th, the general manager of Southern Design Bureau suggested that RD-250 could be "copied" by 3D printing technology to meet the demand of North Korea. In this regard, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry rogozin said categorically that this is absolutely impossible.

  Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry rogozin said that some portraits can be reproduced, but the engine is the most advanced technical structure, which requires not only detailed technical documents, but also test stands and various tests. Strictly speaking, what is needed most is professionals who know everything about engines, so this time either the technical documents were leaked or someone sold them directly.

  Just as the two sides were at loggerheads, a piece of news disclosed by the British Reuters on the 16th was quite a "rescue". According to Reuters, Pyongyang may already have the ability to manufacture missile engines, and it does not need to rely on the support of other countries at all.

  A reporter from Reuters, UK, said that the research of the London Institute for International Strategic Studies was only based on the measurement of the engine photos released by North Korea, and there was a heated discussion among experts who had been concerned about the North Korean nuclear issue. Some experts’ judgments were consistent with the assessment of American intelligence agencies, that is, North Korea may have the ability to independently develop and build missile engines.
