Recently, two magpies in Yantai, Shandong Province spent more than 20 days nesting outside the residents’ windows, and the process was recorded by video. The video photographed two magpies taking local materials, picking up branches and mud every day, and laying eggs and brooding after diligently nesting. According to the parties concerned, there is a basket for holding vegetables in security window outside their kitchen. Two magpies used local materials and shared it for more than 20 days to build their nests.

　　Recently, cold air strikes frequently, the north is getting colder and colder, and the south is also "autumn overnight". On weekends this week, the lowest temperature in Wuhan may come to single digits, only 9℃! Imagine that in just a few days, from summer to autumn, and then to winter, the cold air in season is "delivered" one after another. It is really a season, from short sleeves to windbreakers to cotton-padded clothes, and friends have to change their clothes quickly.

　　However, as the saying goes, "Spring covers autumn, and no miscellaneous diseases are born". Proper freezing will help the body gradually adapt to the cold and improve the body’s disease resistance. Can everyone "freeze in autumn"? When is the best time to add clothes? Xiao Qiming, chief physician of respiratory medicine of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Sun Qiwei, deputy chief physician of the Center for Prevention of Diseases of Xiyuan Hospital of Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Wang Xiao, deputy chief physician of the Department of Rheumatology of Longhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, will teach you to get cold scientifically without getting sick.

　　Why is freezing healthier in autumn?

　　Spring is born, summer grows, autumn harvest and winter storage, and man and nature are integrated. When I go to Qiu Lai in summer, the sun’s spirit gradually converges and the temperature gradually drops, which is a transitional stage from hot to cold. Although the temperature begins to drop, if you put on a thick cotton-padded coat too early, you will not be able to exercise against cold air, which will reduce your cold-proof ability and is not conducive to the self-regulation of human resistance. In the really cold season, once the nose and trachea are attacked by cold air, the blood vessels inside shrink because they can’t resist, which reduces the blood flow and weakens the antibacterial ability. Bacteria hiding in the nose or trachea take the opportunity to move, causing symptoms such as cough, sneezing, runny nose and fever, which makes people sick.

　　Therefore, it is necessary to freeze properly in autumn and gradually improve the body’s ability to resist cold and disease. This is a subtle exercise that can improve people’s physique invisibly. On the other hand, autumn is the season of nourishing yin. If you wear too much clothes and cover them too hot, it will encourage yang spirit, which is not good for maintaining the balance of yin and yang, and will also cause diseases.

　　Therefore, when the temperature is a little cold in autumn, don’t add clothes too early and too much, so that your body will feel a little cold, gradually adapt to the cold, improve your disease resistance, and it is healthy to "freeze" your body properly.

　　Boundary of autumn freezing temperature: 15℃

　　Autumn freezing is good for health, but when there is strong cold air activity and the temperature drops sharply, we should add clothes to keep warm in time and properly. At this time, if we insist on "autumn freezing" blindly, it will be counterproductive. China has a vast territory, and the process of entering autumn is inconsistent in different places. Under what circumstances should we add clothes?

　　The answer given by experts is: Take 15℃ as the standard, if the temperature drops below 15℃ in autumn and lasts for more than two weeks, you can put on clothes for autumn and winter.

　　In addition, scientific autumn freezing has three principles:

　　When the temperature drops slightly, healthy people can not wear thick clothes immediately, but add clothes and pants as late as possible or gradually to enhance their adaptability to the temperature drop.

　　Old people, children or people who are physically weak should not blindly pursue autumn freezing, but should "stop the heat" to avoid the hot air spreading outside, the yang spreading outside and the wind evil entering the body.

　　When the temperature drops sharply, you should not blindly pursue autumn freezing, otherwise you will get sick easily.

　　Four types of people can’t stand the autumn freeze.

　　Autumn freezing is not suitable for everyone. The following groups of people are more vulnerable to cold than the average person. It is best to add clothes in time according to the temperature and physical feeling.

　　A frail old man

　　There is a large temperature difference between morning and evening in season change, which is the high incidence season of upper respiratory tract infections such as influenza. The respiratory muscles, diaphragm and ligaments of the elderly are atrophied, the elasticity of lungs and trachea is weakened, and the respiratory function is reduced. It is easier to catch a cold if clothes are not added in time.

　　Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

　　After being stimulated by cold, the capillaries of the whole body contract, the peripheral resistance of blood circulation increases, and the blood pressure is higher than that in summer. Cold stimulation will make the myocardial ischemia and hypoxia that have already been diseased more serious. People with cardiovascular diseases should add coats in time to keep their chests warm to avoid myocardial infarction; In the past, elderly people with multiple cerebral infarction, cerebrovascular malformation or stenosis should pay attention to keeping their heads warm to avoid aggravating or inducing stroke.

　　Patients with rheumatism or rheumatoid diseases

　　Arthritis patients often feel pain and heaviness in their legs when the weather is cold. It is suggested to wear warm knee pads on their legs to ensure the stability of the knee joint and promote blood circulation.

　　diabetic

　　Diabetic patients have poor local blood supply, and their blood vessels are stimulated by cold air, which is prone to vasospasm, further reducing the blood supply to muscle tissue and aggravating local numbness of hands and feet and low back pain. When the weather changes greatly, the elderly with "three highs" should strengthen the monitoring of blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid, and pay attention to the changes of their condition at any time.

　　Don’t freeze these parts of your body.

　　Head and neck: There are abundant nerves and capillaries in the head and neck. Autumn wind attacks easily lead to vasoconstriction of the head and neck, which is not conducive to blood supply to the brain, and it is also easy to cause a cold with lung symptoms.

　　Shoulder: The tissues around the shoulder joint are relatively fragile. After a long cold, it is easy to be attacked by "wind, cold and dampness", which will cause shoulder pain. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that scapulohumeral periarthritis is caused by cold in the shoulder, and the chest and shoulder joints are stiff after illness, which seems to be frozen, so it is called "frozen shoulder" and "shoulder coagulation". Sometimes the pain will spread to the arms and hands, and even the pain is unbearable.

　　Abdomen: There are many organs in the abdomen, and many important meridians pass through, such as spleen and stomach meridians and liver and kidney meridians. Renchong and Du meridians start in the abdominal cavity. Cold and cold qi is also easy to invade the human body from the abdomen. Being cold here will cause stagnation of qi and blood in the abdominal meridians, such as stimulating the intestine and causing diarrhea; People with a history of stomach trouble are prone to stomach pain; Women who catch cold in the lower abdomen are easy to induce dysmenorrhea and irregular menstruation. The belly button part is the longevity hole of the human body, so it should be protected.

　　Feet: "Cold comes from the feet", the feet are the parts of the whole body that are most afraid of cold, and the meridians of the kidney and spleen and stomach all originate from the feet. However, because the feet are farthest from the heart, the blood flows the longest "distance". If the feet are cold, the blood flow will be stagnant, and the blood supply in the whole body will be insufficient, which will easily cause the capillaries in the relevant parts to contract, and the pathogenic factors will easily take advantage of it to enter the organ function and then be damaged. Soaking feet with hot water can relax muscles and promote blood circulation, generally at a water temperature of about 40 degrees Celsius (not hot).

　　Excessive fear of cold

　　It’s the body calling for help.

　　Our bodies can quickly perceive the warmth and coldness of the surrounding environment, and protect our bodies from physical injuries caused by excessive cold and overheating. If you are more afraid of the cold than the average person, or you are still afraid of the cold when you wear a lot of clothes, it may be that your body is "calling for help".

　　The stomach is afraid of cold — — cold syndrome of the stomach

　　Eating a little cold food and drinking some green tea will make you feel bloating and stomachache, which may be related to overeating and getting cold in the stomach. If it happens repeatedly, it may be a sign of spleen and stomach weakness and yang deficiency.

　　Tips: Try to choose ingredients that are mild in taste and beneficial to qi, such as longan meat, medlar, jujube, etc., and avoid cold, wet and greasy foods.

　　Legs are afraid of cold — — chronic rheumatism in the leg

　　In addition to being affected by cold and humid environment, "old cold legs" have a common cause — — Joint, ligament and muscle strain are mostly caused by long-term physical labor, improper walking posture, aging and other reasons.

　　Tips: Moxibustion can be applied to the points around the knee joint, such as Zusanli and Dubi, every time for 5-mdash; Ten minutes.

　　The waist is afraid of cold — — Strain or disc herniation

　　Cold and dampness blocking the waist can lead to cold waist. Waist injury, lumbar muscle strain, lumbar disc herniation, etc., lead to the obstruction of yang qi operation, but also show that the waist is afraid of cold.

　　Tips: Lumbago can be used for hot compress on the waist; Morning is the time when the body’s yang is gradually filled with the weather, which can increase outdoor activities; You can practice Wuqinxi, Baduanjin and Tai Ji Chuan at ordinary times.

　　Cold hands and feet — — Yang deficiency

　　Cold hands and feet are more common in people who have been dieting for a long time or have bad eating habits, which is mainly caused by the lack of nutrients and the lack of material basis for yang. If you don’t pay attention to it, your physical fitness will further decline, leading to more serious problems.

　　Tips: Chinese medicine believes that "movement leads to yang". Usually, you should pay attention to exercise, get more sunshine, and eat regularly for three meals a day. You can add 15 grams of safflower and 30 grams of Artemisia argyi to soak your feet before going to bed to promote blood circulation and dispel cold.

　　Comprehensive Life Times and The Paper reported.

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

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

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

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

North American poster of "Beijing meets Seattle"

North American box office of Chinese export films

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chinese films are struggling.

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

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

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

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

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

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

　

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Medium players have their own main characters.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Closing statement:

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

From the perspective of game theory and information economics, involution and lying flat are two sides of the same problem.

First, from eating Chili peppers

So that’s it | How many peppers are you going to eat? The article "Analysis from the Perspective of Nobel Prize Winners in Economics" (2023-12-04, Surging Business School) tells a story: Zhang San, a new classmate in the class, is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Zhang San, who just arrived, doesn’t understand the character of his classmates, but he knows that people’s behavior will expose their personality traits. In particular, Zhang San believes that people who eat Chili peppers usually tend to be tough. The next morning, you and Li Si, who usually don’t eat Chili, eat noodles together, and there is a bowl of chopped millet spicy on the table. It’s a coincidence that Zhang Sany, who is bullying and afraid of bullying, is sitting opposite you two. At this time, both you and Li Si need to make a choice: Do you want to add Xiaomi spicy to your bowl of noodles? How much more?

At that time, the thought experiment we did was: it is meaningless to pretend to be tough and add millet spicy to your bowl because Li Si around you will put more peppers than usual in order to send a strong signal to Zhang San until the amount of peppers makes you unbearable. In this way, it is meaningless for you to eat spicy food. So, the final result-Li Si ate "too much" pepper, and you chose not to eat it.

The reason for this result is that there is a typical information asymmetry problem here. Both you and Li Si know their own personality traits, but for Zhang San, this is his information blind spot. Therefore, eating Chili peppers is not only a consumption behavior that increases utility, but also a signal sending mechanism to release his personality traits to Zhang San, who is at an information disadvantage.

If Wang Wu, a classmate who had breakfast with you this morning, usually eats a little pepper, so he is more spicy than you, then Li Si will have to put more peppers.

If a group of classmates like Li Si who are usually addicted to spicy food come at this time, and everyone has learned that Zhang San’s habit is to stop bullying others after finding someone to bully. It is conceivable that there may be a fierce competition about eating spicy food between Li Si and other students who are fond of spicy food. These always spicy people will also secretly scold in their hearts: "It’s too curly."

If the rice spicy on the dining table is replaced by the less spicy Hangzhou pepper, then Li Si may be forced to eat more peppers. So we can say that they "rolled up" even more in the dimension of the amount of peppers they ate.

If there is an involution, there must be a flat one. At this time, you and those students who can’t eat spicy food will definitely choose to stay out of it, while leisurely eating breakfast with the same taste as usual, while watching those students who can eat spicy food "roll" into a ball. You are the so-called "flat" people.

If we first regard Chili as a degree or diploma, and then regard the diploma as a signal that job seekers send to their employers about their own abilities in the labor market, just like spence, the Nobel Prize winner, it is not difficult to understand why the current education field with strong exam-oriented color is involved in all kinds of jaw-dropping strange phenomena.

Second, where did the "volume" come from?

What people usually call involution refers to a special competitive state. The above logic about signaling is not enough to fully explain the involution. In other words, information asymmetry does not constitute a sufficient condition for "involution". In fact, it does not constitute a necessary condition.

So, what is the root of involution?

The root of involution lies in three interrelated basic characteristics of the competitive pattern: first, resources are highly scarce; Second, the track is single; Third, the system is closed.

Look at the scarcity of resources first.In human society, scarcity and competition are synonymous. The higher the scarcity of a resource, the higher its market value, and the fiercer the competition around it. Conversely, the fierce competition in a certain field must mean that there are very scarce resources in this field.

If Zhang San’s so-called "bullying the weak and being afraid of the hard" is actually harmless, but it is only manifested in the size of Zhang San’s voice in daily life, then people like Li Si will lose more by eating too much Chili, so the "involution" around eating Chili will disappear.

Look at the single track.The essence of single track is that the competition around scarce resources has a single dimension. For example, in the above example, an important assumption is potentially implied: the only way to send a signal to Zhang San is to eat Chili peppers. If there are other channels to send signals, such as the size of biceps brachii, the strength of organizational leadership, the atmosphere during the debate, the style of playing cards and chess, the amount of alcohol, the amount of food, etc., then the competition in the dimension of eating peppers will tend to ease.

The above-mentioned resources are highly scarce and the competition pattern of the track is single, which is often accompanied by another remarkable feature: the system is closed. In fact, the reason why it is called "inner" volume is that the system is closed.

The English for "inner volume" is involve. Directly observing the prefix and root of this word, it is easy to remind us of an old saying: "Dojo is made in the snail shell." The prefix in- of Involve means inward, while the root volv stands for "turning and rolling".

Conversely, if it is an open system, the competition between different individuals will naturally not turn inward, but develop outward. The corresponding English is evolve. Its root is the same as involve, except that the prefix is changed to "e-" which means "outward" or "external". The word means "evolution". It is not difficult to understand that on the blue planet where we live, the evolution of organisms presents increasingly complex and diverse characteristics, and the root cause lies in the fact that the biological system is an open competitive system.

3. Roll inward or outward?

The "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly regards "domestic and international double circulation promoting each other" as the basic feature of the new development pattern, which actually reflects the importance of openness to the economic system. Economic system is a typical competitive system.

Traditional farming civilization, as Mr. Fei Xiaotong said, the whole society is divided into small communities. These small communities are formed on the basis of blood and geography, and the relationship between them is isolated and separated. The traditional society based on this closed small community has not surprisingly caused fierce involution, and the whole society has been trapped in the Malthusian trap for thousands of years. Once the economy turned from closed to open, in just a few decades, China’s economic structure and development level have undergone earth-shaking changes.

A study just completed by our research team is also related to this.

Since the reform and opening up, the traffic conditions in the Yangtze River Delta region have been constantly improving, and the traffic from central cities to Shanghai has naturally become more and more convenient.

An easy-to-ignore problem is that this improvement does not naturally mean good for the cities around Shanghai. The reason is intuitive: the transportation to a megacity like Shanghai is more convenient, which not only facilitates the gathering of various resources locally, but also provides convenience for megacities to siphon local resources and economic opportunities. In the latter case, it is often said that megacities have a "siphon effect" on surrounding cities. The former situation corresponds to the positive "radiation" effect of megacities on the surrounding areas, or plays a "leading role".

Our research finds that for the central cities around Shanghai in the Yangtze River Delta region, the improvement of traffic convenience may indeed produce both favorable radiation and unfavorable siphon for the development of these cities. Specifically, before China joined the WTO, the "siphon" effect that Shanghai was unfavorable to the surrounding cities played a slight leading role; After China’s entry into WTO, Shanghai’s positive "radiation" effect on surrounding cities has become very significant.

The law revealed by this study shows that opening to the outside world, a major strategy to make China’s economy break away from the involution track and develop towards a more complex, diverse and advanced economic structure, not only makes China’s economy as a whole gain considerable benefits by participating in the international cycle, but also makes our domestic cycle more efficient.

Science and Technology Daily reporter Zhang Wei correspondent Wu Qi

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

▍ 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.

In fact, the merger and acquisition of pharmaceutical companies in 2019 is far more than that. By combing the actions of well-known enterprises, the purpose is to find the trend of industry changes under these mergers and acquisitions. In addition, in the announcements of many listed pharmaceutical companies selling assets this year, many properties were thrown out. 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.

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.

At 3 o’clock in the morning, the stall of fruit distributor Zheng Yuqiang became lively. This evening, a new batch of imported jackfruit was welcomed.

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 Beijing’s largest wholesale market for agricultural products — — In Xinfadi market, mid-October is not the peak season for fruit sales, and several imported fruits promoted by Zheng Yuqiang have increased his business.

Beijing fruit buyer Zheng Zhen:I bought some jackfruit and red pitaya today. I come here almost every day and sell everything. There are about 30 to 40 kinds of imported fruits.

In the wholesale market in Beijing, the varieties of imported fruits sold are increasing year by year. Xiao Yang, who just entered the business last year, opened a shop specializing in selling Malaysian Maoshanwang durian. He told reporters that this expensive imported fruit has been selling better and better since it entered the China market in 2019.

Xiao Yang, a distributor of imported fruits in Beijing:Sales are gradually increasing. At the beginning, the people still didn’t approve of it because the price was relatively high. Up to this year, the people’s recognition level is still relatively high, especially people like Beijing who buy more.

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.

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.

You may think that you are in good health and there will be no major problems, but you know what? Some people suddenly fell down and never woke up because of temporary excitement or fatigue. This is sudden death, an unpredictable fatal event.

There seems to be nothing wrong. Why did you die suddenly?

Is there any rule of sudden death? Is there any warning? Can we avoid it? To answer these questions, let’s take a look at a recent study.

This study was published in the journal chinese journal of critical care medicine in April, 2020, entitled "Analysis of Epidemiological Characteristics of 5,516 Cases of Autopsy Sudden Death in China". The researchers dissected the bodies of 5516 cases of sudden death and found the following important findings:

1. Emotional excitement and fatigue are the most common causes.

The study found that among the causes of sudden death, emotional excitement accounted for 26%, fatigue accounted for 25%, and blood volume change accounted for 8.95%. Other inducements include drinking, satiety and minor injuries.

2. Heart problem is the main reason.

It was found that among the causes of sudden death, cardiogenic sudden death accounted for 57.76%, pulmonary sudden death accounted for 21.63%, and brain-derived sudden death accounted for 9.21%. Sudden cardiac death is mainly caused by coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction and arrhythmia.

3. There are often some uncomfortable signals before sudden death.

It is found that people with symptoms and signs in sudden death are most often manifested as sudden attack (20.10%), rest and sleep (16.71%), followed by vomiting (7.49%), dyspnea, chest tightness and sweating, dizziness, chest pain, abdominal pain, convulsion, headache, palpitation, cough and disturbance of consciousness.

People with chronic diseases are more prone to sudden death.

It was found that hypertension (37.95%), heart disease (30.02%) and diabetes (23.79%) were the most common among those with past history. Followed by dysplasia, hyperlipidemia, tumor, infection, hyperthyroidism and so on.

5.30 ~ 63 years old is the high incidence age of sudden cardiac death.

People in this age group are at an important stage of their career and family, with high work pressure, fast pace of life, irregular diet, and addiction to cigarettes and good wine, which may easily lead to "three highs" and coronary heart disease.

How to avoid sudden death? Please do the following three points.

From these laws, we can get some enlightenment:

Middle-aged people should pay attention to controlling their emotions!

Do you often get angry and quarrel with others because of some small things? Are you sometimes so excited that you get carried away and even laugh until you cry? You may think these are normal emotional expressions, but you know what? These mood swings may bring fatal danger to your heart!

A media person once witnessed such a tragedy. Her father-in-law was taken to the hospital because of a sudden acute myocardial infarction, and survived after the rescue. However, she found that in her father-in-law’s ward, the other six patients have one thing in common: they are all quick-tempered and short-tempered, and they are emotional, angry and angry when things happen.

She learned a lesson from it: these people are all out of control because of their emotions, which leads to heart problems!

Why is emotional excitement harmful to the heart?

It turns out that when we are angry or excited, the body will secrete a lot of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which will double the blood flow of the heart, strengthen the contractility of the heart and accelerate the heartbeat. At the same time, blood vessels will contract, blood pressure will increase and blood viscosity will increase. In this way, the heart will bear a greater burden, prone to arrhythmia, myocardial ischemia, chest tightness, palpitation and other symptoms. If the duration is too long or the frequency is too high, it may induce serious cardiovascular events such as angina pectoris or myocardial infarction.

Therefore, middle-aged people should learn to adjust their emotions and maintain peace. Don’t vent or suppress things that don’t go your way, but find a suitable way to release the pressure. For example, you can chat with friends, listen to music, do sports and read books. This can not only relax the body and mind, but also enhance the physical fitness, which is beneficial to the heart.

Middle-aged people should rest moderately and avoid overwork!

Are you often so busy with work and family that you even ignore your physical discomfort? You may think it’s your responsibility and responsibility, but you know what? This lifestyle may make your heart stop beating at any time!

Research shows that many sudden deaths have experienced high pressure, long-term and high-intensity working conditions. This kind of work will make your sympathetic nerves overexcited, leading to heart overload, arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia. If the duration is too long or the frequency is too high, it may lead to fatal cardiovascular events such as arrhythmia or myocardial infarction. Some people die suddenly because of working overtime overnight, mood swings and nervous stress, which leads to neurological dysfunction, coronary artery spasm and sudden stop of blood supply to the heart.

Therefore, middle-aged people should arrange their work and rest reasonably, don’t be overworked, and don’t stay up late to hurt themselves. It is necessary to do some aerobic exercise properly to relax and enhance physical fitness. It is necessary to have a regular physical examination to find and treat chronic diseases in time. Keep good living habits and stay away from alcohol, tobacco and greasy food. Only in this way can you protect your heart from the threat of sudden death.

Middle-aged people should pay attention to body signals and seek medical treatment in time!

You may not know that before sudden death, your body actually gave you many warnings. If you can find and deal with it in time, it is possible to avoid the tragedy.

So, what are the signals before sudden death? According to research, the most common symptom before sudden death is chest discomfort, which mainly has the following three manifestations:

Angina pectoris. This is a feeling of pain or oppression in the chest or precordial area, which usually lasts less than 15 minutes and is often accompanied by dysphagia or chest tightness. This is caused by heart ischemia and hypoxia.

Flustered. This is a feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat, which usually lasts less than 10 minutes and is often accompanied by discomfort such as chest tightness, fatigue and dizziness. This is due to cardiac electrophysiological dysfunction.

Low blood pressure. This is a state in which blood pressure drops below the normal value, which generally lasts less than 5 minutes, and is often accompanied by symptoms such as cold sweat and dyspnea. This is because the pumping function of the heart is weakened.

These signals mostly occur after physical activity, emotional excitement or satiety. If they can be relieved after rest, it means a mild heart problem. However, if it still doesn’t improve after rest, or there are frequent or persistent signals, it means that it is a serious heart problem and needs immediate medical attention.

In addition to these signals, there are some less obvious signals, such as left arm pain, sore throat or toothache. These signals may be nerve reflexes caused by heart problems, which also need attention.

In short, middle-aged people should pay special attention to their physical changes. If there is any chest discomfort, dull pain or fatigue, they should go to the hospital for examination in time and don’t take it lightly. Only early detection and treatment of heart problems can effectively prevent and reduce the risk of sudden death.
