▍ 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.

　　BEIJING, Beijing, July 27 (Wu Tao) Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued "Guiding Opinions on Establishing Modern Hospital Management System" (hereinafter referred to as "Guiding Opinions"), which made a series of arrangements for establishing modern hospitals. What will the modern hospital be built into? Is it more convenient for people to see a doctor? What changes have been made to the salary of medical staff? Zhongxin. com has combed and summarized this.

　　What will a modern hospital look like?

　　— — Adhere to public welfare and control the scale of special needs services in hospitals

　　The Guiding Opinions pointed out that modern hospitals first adhere to the public welfare of public hospitals, adhere to the people’s health as the center, and put people’s health in a strategic position of giving priority to development. Modern hospitals adhere to the separation of government affairs and management, reasonably define the government’s supervisory responsibilities, and give public hospitals the right to operate and manage independently.

　　The reporter observed that the Guiding Opinions put forward some particularly detailed requirements for modern hospitals. For example, it is necessary to strictly control the bed size, construction standards and large-scale medical equipment in public hospitals, prohibit debt construction and luxury decoration, and gradually compress beds that exceed the scale standards. Control the scale of special services in public hospitals, and the proportion of special services provided shall not exceed 10%.

　　The opinions in the Guidance also suggest that an accountability mechanism should be established for acts such as arbitrary charges and bad practices that have a major social impact, acts that have caused major medical accidents and major safety accidents, serious cases of violation of laws and discipline, and serious violations of the construction of professional ethics.

　　It is worth noting that modern hospitals put forward a series of requirements for the position of dean. The dean should be fully responsible for medical treatment, teaching, scientific research and administrative management. The president’s office meeting is the administrative and business decision-making body of public hospitals, which makes decisions on discussion and research matters. At the same time, the annual and term target responsibility of the president is assessed, which is linked to the president’s salary, appointment and dismissal, rewards and punishments.

　　Wu Ming, a professor at peking university health science center College of Public Health, believes that the Guiding Opinions not only gives public hospitals the right to operate and manage independently, but also promotes the reform of medical insurance payment method, cancels drug addition, adjusts the price of medical services, reduces the price of medical consumables, and the "two-vote system", and establishes an effective competition mechanism in the medical service market to form an effective constraint on public hospitals, so as to ensure that the dean has the right not to be willful.

　　It is more convenient for patients to see a doctor.

　　— — Strengthen the emergency power and smooth the green channel

　　What impact does the establishment of modern hospitals have on patients? First of all, the doctor-patient relationship that everyone is concerned about is mentioned in the Guiding Opinions, for example, promoting the construction of the "three mediations and one insurance" mechanism that organically combines hospital mediation, people’s mediation, judicial mediation and medical risk sharing mechanism, properly resolving medical disputes and building a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

　　The Guiding Opinions also pointed out that patients’ satisfaction is an aspect of the assessment of medical staff, and the assessment of medical staff is directly related to their salary level and even job appointment and dismissal. City doctors have served at the grassroots or counterpart medical institutions for not less than 1 year before being promoted to the title of attending physician or deputy chief physician.

　　In addition, the "Guiding Opinions" proposes to carry out information-based convenience services such as medical guidance, settlement between clinics, push of inspection results, and settlement of medical treatment in different places. Develop high-quality nursing services and strengthen the services of social workers and volunteers. All these provide better services for people to see a doctor.

　　In addition, tertiary public hospitals should all participate in the construction of medical complexes and play a leading role. Further improve medical services, optimize medical procedures, rationally arrange facilities in consultation areas, scientifically implement appointment diagnosis and treatment, and implement day surgery, telemedicine and multidisciplinary joint diagnosis and treatment models. Strengthen the emergency rescue force and smooth the green passage in front of the hospital.

　　The hospital informatization construction proposed in the Guiding Opinions is also closely related to the convenience of people seeking medical treatment. Zhang Wei, secretary of the Party Committee of west china hospital, analyzed that the Guiding Opinions put forward the effective docking of medical insurance, budget management, drug electronic supervision and other systems, and well designed and implemented medical services, medical quality and safety, internal audit and other systems, so as to minimize the burden of patients seeking medical treatment and the repeated work of medical staff caused by information and communication barriers and cumbersome workflow.

　　How to change the salary of medical staff?

　　— — Do not set revenue targets, and shall not be linked to the business income of the department.

　　Will the salary of medical staff change in the process of establishing modern hospitals? How to change? Presumably this is a problem that many people care about. According to the Guiding Opinions, public hospitals should make independent distribution within the approved total salary, reflecting post differences, taking into account the balance of disciplines, and achieving more work and more rewards.

　　According to the relevant regulations, hospitals can explore the implementation of target annual salary system and agreed salary. The salary of medical personnel shall not be linked to the business income of drugs, sanitary materials, inspection and testing. It is strictly forbidden to set income-generating targets for medical staff.

　　The Guiding Opinions also show that public hospitals should establish a public welfare-oriented assessment and evaluation mechanism, regularly organize public hospital performance assessment and dean’s annual and term target responsibility assessment, and the assessment results are linked to financial subsidies, medical insurance payment, total performance salary and dean’s salary, appointment and dismissal, rewards and punishments, etc. The assessment results will also be linked to the employment of medical staff, promotion of professional titles and personal salary.

　　Wang Hufeng, director of the Medical Reform Research Center of Renmin University of China, analyzed that it is an important aspect to establish a modern hospital management system to grant public hospitals autonomy in salary distribution and management under the framework of laws and regulations. "Only in this way can the enthusiasm of managers and medical staff be fully mobilized, so that medical institutions can provide quality services and efficient services." Wang Hufeng said. (End)

Diesel trucks with national four emission standards issued by Beijing Municipality with license plates (including temporary license plates) are prohibited from driving on the road (except those confirmed by relevant administrative departments to ensure the transportation of production and living materials in this city and transport fresh agricultural products in whole vehicles).

　　The circular also stipulated temporary traffic management measures during the orange warning period of heavy air pollution and the types of motor vehicles in Beijing that are not restricted by the circular. The circular reminds that during the period of taking temporary traffic management measures, other traffic management measures in Beijing are still valid except for the implementation of the provisions of this circular. The Beijing Municipal Public Security Traffic Management Department will deal with motor vehicles driving in violation of regulations according to law.

Original title:South Korea’s 7,000 ex-doctors will lose their licenses.

The reporter learned from the Korean government that 7,000 interns and residents who have left their posts will enter the procedure of revoking their doctor’s licenses, and the relevant treatment is irreversible. (General Desk reporter Zhang Yun)

Previously reported

According to CCTV news, February 29th is the deadline set by the South Korean government for the returnees in the "resignation tide".

On the one hand, Korean junior doctors keep protesting and making their own demands; On the other hand, most people in South Korea support the tough attitude of the government.

How this medical crisis, which has lasted for nearly two weeks, will end has aroused widespread concern in Korean society.

On March 1, the South Korean police conducted a compulsory investigation on the relevant persons of the Korean Medical Association who were reported for allegedly violating the Medical Law.

Jeong-hwan Kim, a senior official of the South Korean Ministry of Health, revealed that from March 4th, the government will warn doctors who continue to violate the "Return to Work Order".

According to Korean law, the government can revoke the doctor’s license for up to one year for doctors who seriously endanger public health, and doctors may face three years’ imprisonment or a fine of 30 million won, which is about 160,000 yuan.

South Korea’s Minister of Interior and Security Lee Sang-min:

In principle, we will investigate and deal with the refusal of the leaders and forces behind illegal collective actions to comply with the government’s order to resume work.

Individual interns who refuse to return to work will be tried through formal prosecution. The tough stance of the Korean government was opposed by the Korean Medical Association.

On February 29th, an inspection of 100 large-scale internship hospitals in China showed that as of 7: 00 pm the previous day, 9997 interns affiliated to these hospitals had submitted resignation reports, accounting for 80.2% of the total.

The actual number of doctors absent from work was 9076, accounting for 72.8%.

According to the statistics of the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, as of 5: 00 pm on February 29th, the number of residents returning to the medical field after the strike increased by 271 compared with the previous day, totaling 565.

Patient:

I was diagnosed with stage III pancreatic cancer. The situation in the hospital is very complicated. There are no empty seats in the waiting room, and many patients who can’t receive treatment in other hospitals also come here. The shortage of medical resources has caused dissatisfaction among the Korean people.

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.

　　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

　　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 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.

1905 movie network news 　On the Easter holiday weekend (03.30-04.01), the box office revenue in North America totaled $132.4 million, up 1.9% from the previous month. Ready Player One, Spielberg’s latest film about VR virtual world, grossed $53.21 million at the local box office in 4,234 cinemas in the first week, which was close to $50 million in Jurassic Park in 1993, but not as good as $64 million in War of the Worlds in 2005. With a good reputation, it is considered as a "noisy adventure". At present, the global box office of the film has reached 180 million US dollars. The other two new films are relatively weak. tyler perry’s all-black marriage revenge drama "The Endless" cost $17.1 million in the first week, which was considered as "a waste of Taraji P hansen’s acting skills" (the film critics of "Proud Mary" also said so); The belief theme "God is not dead: light in the dark" fell below the new low of three series in the first week, reaching 2.63 million dollars, and was accused of being "completely boring".

It is worth mentioning that Marvel superhero Black Panther, who has been in the cinema for the seventh week, has made a domestic box office of 650 million US dollars this week, becoming the fastest film in the history of cinema to achieve a domestic box office achievement of 650 million US dollars after Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It is expected that this week will surpass the 652 million US dollars of Jurassic Park in 2015 and become the fourth highest domestic box office.

Ready Player One’s $180 million global media refers to "targeting adrenaline"

Recommended star rating: ★★★★☆.

Ready Player One

The dystopian sci-fi novel by Warner and Weixiu Pictures won $41.21 million at the box office in North America in the first three days of the weekend, plus a total of $53.21 million at the box office on Thursday, of which 35% came from 3D screening. This figure makes it the highest box office movie in Steven Allan Spielberg in the first week after 2008, slightly exceeding the box office of $40.5 million (three days) in the first week of "Special Forces 2: Total Strike Back", close to $50 million in 1993, but less than $64 million in 2005. The production cost of Ready Player One is between $150 million and $175 million, and the global publicity cost exceeds $100 million. At present, the global box office has reached US$ 181 million, which is particularly popular in China. The box office on Saturday is 80% higher than that on Friday, and the box office on the weekend is US$ 61.7 million. The US media expects that Ready Player One may reach US$ 250 million in China, which is about 1.55 billion yuan.

Although Spielberg’s biographical themes, such as The Post and bridge of spies, have been remarkable at the box office in recent years, his fantasy themes, such as The Dream of a Giant and The Adventures of Tintin, have failed one after another. This time, Ready Player One is the first time that Spielberg has chosen to open a film in the spring when the competition is not so strong after "Running on the rampage" in 1974. This strategy not only makes it win back a city at the box office, but also causes heated discussion and public praise, and also becomes his highest and best film after "Minority Report" in 2005.

At present, Ready Player One’s cinema score in North America is A-, IMDb score is 8.0, MTC score is 64, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 76%. The Wall Street Journal said: "Ready Player One is aiming at your adrenaline." Hollywood Reporter: "A noisy adventure between desolation and fantasy. Although Spielberg has made great changes to Ernest Klein’s original work, it still retains the complete main spirit and thrilling elements." Variety: "This is a very complete and occasionally intoxicating film. But you feel occupied more often than you are involved. "

The last straw

Second in the new film is tyler perry’s latest all-black movie "The Endless", which grossed $17.1 million in 2,006 theaters in North America last weekend. It was lower than tyler perry’s first week box office of 21.64 million (the final box office was $51.97 million) in 2013. However, it is much higher than Taraji P hansen’s earlier "Proud Mary". The first week of "Proud Mary" in North America was only 9.95 million US dollars, and the final box office was 20.87 million US dollars. The last straw will be the last film released by Lionsgate in tyler perry, and they will cooperate with Paramount instead. At present, the reputation of "The Endless" is not high. IMDb score is 4.7, MTC30 score is 30, rotten tomato freshness is 28%, and audience freshness is 50%. Entertainment Weekly believes: "Hansen’s anger for more than 20 minutes is not enough to keep the film’s reputation or worth the ticket price." Rolling Stone magazine said: "The last straw will make you unbearable, so it wastes Hansen’s acting talent and your ticket money." The New York Times: "In addition to endorsing the explanation of Stockholm syndrome in marriage, it also provides you with a guide to survival in a bad economic environment."

Last week, the last large-scale new film was God’s Not Dead: A Light in Darkness, which earned $2.63 million in 1,693 theaters in North America last weekend. It is not as good as the first box office of $9.16 million in 2014, and it is not as good as the $7.62 million in "God is not dead 2" in 2016. In recent years, movies with good faith themes have basically come from major studios such as Fox, Sony and Lions Gate, such as the current list and the previous "Paradise Really Exists", which have relative box office potential. God is not dead: light in the dark. At present, IMDb score is 3.1, MTC score is 33, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes is 15%. "Hollywood Reporter" thinks: "Although this film is not as strong as the first two, it is also completely boring."

It tells the funny story that the parents of three high school girls start their detective nerves and monitor that their daughters plan to give their first night at the graduation dance, so they rush to the party to stop it. Because it involves the topic of sex and growth, the words are more explicit. The production cost of the film is $21 million. A few days ago, the film was shown at the South-by-Southwest Film Festival (SXSW) and won a lot of praise from the media. "Variety" commented: "This is a dance comedy that combines elegance, humor and vulgarity." It is estimated that the box office of the film will be between 13 million yuan and 21 million dollars in the first week. Universal Pictures has had many successful R-rated comedies earlier, such as the cost of $32.5 million in 2011 and the local box office of $169 million. The cost in 2015 was $35 million, and the local box office was $110.2 million; Last year, the cost was $19 million, and the local box office reached $115.1 million.

Quiet Place, a Paramount horror film, also won a good reputation at the South-by-Southwest Film Festival (SXSW), which depicts a dystopian world in the future, in which giant insect monsters who have lost their vision hunt humans through their super-sensitive response to sound. A year after most human beings were extinct, only the remaining people learned to adapt to life without sound. A family of five in the movie basically relies on sign language to complete daily communication.

The film will open in 1700 theaters across the United States this weekend.

　　Cctv newsOn March 30th, the the State Council Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism held a press conference. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology introduced the situation of the manufacturing industry’s resumption of production and answered questions from reporters.

　　journalistThe industrial chain of electronic enterprises is relatively long. What is the current situation of this kind of enterprises returning to work and production? What measures will be taken to support the coordinated resumption of production in the industrial chain?

　　Xu Kemin, Director of Industrial Policy and Regulation Department of Ministry of Industry and Information TechnologyAt present, the average re-employment rate of the electronic information industry has reached 95%. From the perspective of key enterprises, the re-employment rate of SMIC, BOE, Huaxing Optoelectronics and other enterprises has exceeded 90%; Huawei has resumed work in an all-round way, and the compound yield is stable at 90%; 810,000 people have resumed work in 27 major factories of Foxconn, with an overall resumption rate of 93.7%. Nearly 100 core supporting enterprises have resumed work and production, which has driven more than 10,000 small and medium-sized enterprises in the upstream and downstream to resume work and stabilize the global supply chain. From the perspective of major projects, major projects such as Changjiang Storage, Changxin, Huaxing Optoelectronics and Visionox are progressing smoothly.

　　The electronic information industry has the characteristics of a long industrial chain, which is highly dependent on the supply chain system. The upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain need to work together to resume production. In this regard, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has mainly taken three measures: First, providing accurate services for enterprises. Establish "early communication" with key enterprises — The "late feedback" mechanism, through telephone, WeChat and video conference, can grasp the first-hand situation and enterprise demands in real time, coordinate and solve problems in a targeted manner, and provide accurate services.

　　The second is to promote the resumption of production across regions and the entire industrial chain. Establish a cross-regional daily coordination and communication mechanism, guide local authorities at all levels to solve the problem of enterprises returning to work in real time, and follow up and implement them one by one. For example, in some areas, three-level work classes have been set up in provinces and cities. In solving the problem of returning to work, foreign employees are brought back to work through special trains and buses, and professional forces are coordinated to conduct nucleic acid testing on isolated employees, providing isolated buffer dormitories.

　　The third is to coordinate and solve the demand for epidemic prevention materials. Help enterprises coordinate the urgent need for epidemic prevention materials such as forehead temperature guns, automatic thermometers and masks. At the same time, promote enterprises to use the Internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other new generation information technology means to ensure the resumption of work and production.

　　Container ships berthed at Shanghai Yangshan Port. People’s vision

　　"Blocking points" increase, one cabin is hard to find, and one box is hard to find … … Since the second half of last year, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the international container shipping operation is not smooth, the transportation capacity is tight and the freight rate is rising, which has brought a lot of pressure to some Chinese enterprises, especially foreign trade enterprises. In view of this situation, relevant departments such as transportation, commerce, industry and information, as well as shipping, ports, container production and other enterprises have taken action to help foreign trade enterprises solve problems. What have all localities, departments and related enterprises done? What is the current effect? The reporter conducted an interview.

　　Tight transport capacity and rising freight rates

　　Poor shipping has put a lot of pressure on foreign trade enterprises.

　　"In early June, I was very nervous and the production line was almost forced to stop!" Zhejiang Juyi Group is a foreign trade enterprise that produces footwear products, with an annual export volume of nearly 100 million US dollars, and its products are mainly sold to European and American countries. The main reason that makes Pan Jianzhong, the chairman, nervous is the poor international shipping. "There is no shortage of orders, but there are 200 containers of shoes in the factory. First, the storage space is limited; Second, if you can’t get the money back, the funds will become a problem. "

　　Like most export enterprises in China, Juyi Group signed a trade contract with foreign customers on FOB terms, that is, overseas buyers were responsible for logistics and paid freight, which was not affected by freight fluctuation in theory. "In the past, we didn’t have to worry about export logistics. But now the global shipping is not smooth, and it is difficult for foreign customers to solve it. We have to find our own way. " Pan Jianzhong told reporters that when there was an urgent need, COSCO Shipping extended a helping hand to enterprises and arranged transportation capacity under the active coordination of transportation, commerce and other departments. "From the end of June, 10 to 15 containers will be arranged to go to sea every week. In August, production basically returned to normal, capital turnover was smooth, and we dared to take orders again. "

　　International shipping plays an irreplaceable role in serving economic and social development and smoothing global trade. In China, about 95% of international trade goods are completed by sea. However, since last year, the global spread of the epidemic has kept the international shipping market under pressure.

　　The most direct impact is poor turnover and tight transportation capacity.

　　"Affected by the epidemic, the ports in some countries are seriously congested, the inland transportation cycle is blocked, and the supply of crew members continues to be tight. The time for ships to stay in Hong Kong, including anchorage waiting time and terminal operation time, has been greatly extended." Jia Dashan, vice president of the Water Transport Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport, said that in August and September this year, the quasi-scheduled rate of global trunk routes has dropped from over 70% under normal circumstances to less than 20%. According to statistics, in the past, the round-trip time of liner from Shanghai to ports in western America, eastern America and northwestern Europe was about 46 days, 76 days and 82 days respectively, but since July this year, the time has been lengthened to 61 days, 87 days and 99 days respectively.

　　While the long ship turnover time leads to the shortage of transportation capacity, the container turnover is also greatly affected, and a large number of empty containers are overstocked in some overseas ports and freight yards. For a period of time, "one cabin is hard to find" and "one box is hard to find" in the market, which has become a bottleneck restricting international trade.

　　Strong foreign trade demand and insufficient effective supply of transportation capacity have caused the freight rate to rise.

　　"In the first half of last year, the demand in the shipping market declined and was at a low point. Since the second half of last year, with the recovery of global trade, the maritime demand of various countries has recovered rapidly. " Jia Dashan said that compared with the situation that supply and demand were basically balanced and slightly surplus in 2019, due to the decline of turnover efficiency, the supply of effective transport capacity was lost by more than 15%, which had little impact on about 60% of long-term transport agreements and contracts in the market, and the shortage of transport capacity was concentrated in 40% of the spot market, resulting in a sharp increase in global shipping container freight rates.

　　According to Jia Dashan, from the Spring Festival this year to the end of March, the contradiction between supply and demand eased relatively, and the freight rate in the international container market dropped for eight consecutive weeks. However, after April, due to the Suez Canal blocking incident and the epidemic situation in some countries and regions, the capacity of major routes in the world continued to be tight, and the freight rate generally increased.

　　"The government departments have promoted the cooperation between port and shipping enterprises and import and export enterprises, and advocated mutual benefit and win-win, which has benefited us." To Pan Jianzhong’s peace of mind, the price offered by COSCO Shipping has obvious advantages compared with the average freight rate in the market.

　　Increase transport capacity and stabilize the market

　　Government departments and related enterprises take active actions to ensure smooth shipping.

　　Behind the steady operation of foreign trade enterprises and the rapid growth of China’s foreign trade are a series of measures taken by government departments and related enterprises.

　　— — Increase the supply of transportation capacity and resolve the "one cabin is hard to find".

　　"Since the third quarter of last year, COSCO Shipping has put all its transportation capacity into the market, and the company’s transportation capacity has reached a historical peak." The relevant person in charge of COSCO Shipping told the reporter that while actively increasing the market charter efforts, COSCO Shipping accelerated the ships on existing routes, freed up the capacity, increased the supply of shipping spaces on trunk lines in Europe and America, and organized the capacity to provide overtime ships and open special lines to provide more shipping spaces.

　　The relevant person in charge of the Water Transport Bureau of the Ministry of Transport said that it has actively coordinated and guided liner companies to increase investment in China’s export routes with relevant departments. In the first three quarters, the number of shipping spaces invested by major liner companies in China’s main export routes increased by more than 27% compared with the same period in 2020, which was significantly higher than the 4.5% increase of global shipping spaces in the same period.

　　Port enterprises have also taken active actions. Since the second quarter of last year, Zhoushan Port in Ningbo has taken some measures for foreign trade liner companies, such as giving priority to the berthing of ships, reducing the pilotage fees of tugboats, and extending the stacking-free period, so as to strive for foreign trade ships to berth and adjust containers.

　　— — Actively dispatch and produce empty containers to solve the problem that "one box is hard to find".

　　On the one hand, speed up the return of overseas empty containers. Cosco Shipping made full use of the return shipping space by adding ports and other means to speed up the return of overseas empty containers. In the first 10 months of this year, the cumulative return of empty containers from overseas exceeded 4.9 million TEUs, an increase of 23.6% year-on-year.

　　On the other hand, speed up the production of new boxes. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Transport actively coordinated China’s container manufacturing enterprises to fully expand production, so that the monthly production capacity increased from 200,000 TEUs to the highest in history of 500,000 TEUs. With the release of new container capacity in China, the turnover of empty containers has accelerated, and the shortage of empty containers has basically been alleviated. At present, the inventory of new containers in China’s major container manufacturers has exceeded 700,000 TEUs, and the supply of new containers is fully guaranteed.

　　— — Strengthen the docking of supply and demand and maintain market stability.

　　In China, many foreign trade enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, are unfamiliar with export transportation and often entrust freight forwarding enterprises to go through the formalities. In the case of tight shipping space, some freight forwarders have increased the price of sea freight, which has increased the pressure on SMEs. In order to solve this problem, COSCO Shipping has broadened the channels for directly serving the majority of small and medium-sized shippers with the help of Syncon Hub foreign trade e-commerce platform. At present, the platform has covered all foreign trade routes in China, and realized the functions of self-service price inquiry and online confirmation of booking. Cosco Shipping also introduced some warm-hearted measures, such as increasing the number of small and medium-sized direct passenger overtime boats, establishing a supervision mechanism for small and medium-sized customers to give priority to cabin release, and opening an e-commerce line for small and medium-sized customers. The number of small and medium-sized customers served in the first 10 months increased by 9.5% year-on-year.

　　Effective response to stable recovery

　　Successfully coping with the changes in international shipping can not only save the day, but also turn the crisis into an opportunity.

　　In the first three quarters of this year, China’s port cargo throughput and container throughput reached 11.55 billion tons and 210 million TEUs respectively, up by 8.9% and 9.5% respectively, with an average increase of 5.9% and 4% respectively in two years. The throughput of foreign trade goods reached 3.54 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.2%— — According to the data of the Ministry of Transport, China’s shipping market is recovering steadily.

　　In the interview, the reporter found that for Chinese enterprises, successfully coping with the changes in international shipping can not only save the day, but also turn the crisis into an opportunity.

　　The competitiveness of foreign trade enterprises is expected to be further enhanced.

　　"Some competitors are affected by the epidemic, or they are unable to start work or are difficult to export, and we can carry out normal production and export, thus obtaining a large number of orders." Zhang Meili, vice president of Zhengte Co., Ltd., Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, told reporters that the company mainly produces and exports outdoor leisure furniture. In the past two years, although the international shipping price has increased the product price, the demand in Europe and the United States is still strong. "We can even ‘ Select ’ Customers. "

　　China is at the forefront of the world in epidemic prevention and control and economic recovery, allowing foreign trade enterprises to gain more market opportunities. In the first half of the year, the international market share of China’s import and export, export and import was about 13.2%, 14.5% and 12%, respectively, up by 0.8, 0.9 and 0.8 percentage points year-on-year, and China continued to maintain its position as the largest country in goods trade.

　　The close cooperation between foreign trade enterprises and shipping enterprises is expected to be further deepened.

　　"Using FOB method, marine logistics is handed over to overseas customers. Now, we are more inclined to sign CIF trade contracts (export enterprises are responsible for transportation and payment of freight), set up overseas warehouses and organize logistics. " Zhang Meili said that under the test of the epidemic, China’s backbone shipping enterprises have won more recognition for their stable and efficient performance.

　　During the interview, some insiders expressed their concern about the uncertainty of the shipping market. From the demand point of view, with the gradual recovery of national economies, international trade has picked up, and some institutions predict that the global container freight volume will increase between 6% and 9% this year. From the perspective of capacity supply, most of the existing 24 million TEU container fleet in the world has been put into operation, and the annual capacity growth is expected to be less than 5%, which is less than the demand growth rate. Under the background that the global epidemic is still spreading, the imbalance between supply and demand will continue for a long time.

　　Coping with the changing situation requires enterprises to deepen long-term cooperation. The relevant person in charge of the Water Transport Bureau of the Ministry of Transport said that foreign trade enterprises and shipping enterprises are encouraged to sign long-term transport agreements to ensure the supply of transport capacity and reduce freight rates. COSCO Shipping also actively strengthens docking with leading enterprises in the industry and signs long-term transportation agreements to provide stable long-term transportation prices and capacity support. In January this year, they signed a cooperation agreement with Midea Group to cooperate deeply in container transportation and "end-to-end" logistics supply chain. As of the beginning of November, the cooperation volume of all routes between the two sides increased by more than 600% year-on-year.

　　In addition to increasing the proportion of long-term transport agreements, Jia Dashan suggested that China should take measures in construction and supervision to deal with the challenges brought by the epidemic to the maritime industry: speeding up the construction of port infrastructure and improving the resilience to emergencies; Accelerate the construction of automated terminals and smart logistics to improve the safety and reliability of the supply chain; Strengthen relevant regulatory measures to promote sustained and healthy development of the market.
