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

　　Qiushui mountain villa

　　Color changes twice a day.

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

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

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

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

　　Xinxin Hotel

　　Painting is not reported.

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

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

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

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

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

　　Garden and cultural department

　　Strengthen supervision responsibility

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

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

　　Color expert

　　New doesn’t mean beauty.

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

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

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

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

　　According to qianjiang evening news.

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

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

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

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

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

　　In the past few days, the tension between Palestine and Israel has intensified, and the exchange of fire between the two sides has continued, causing casualties. Nevertheless, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office announced on the 21st that the government will authorize the construction of 1,000 new houses in the Eli Jewish settlement in the northern West Bank.

　　△ In May this year, Israel started construction in the Homsh settlement in the West Bank.

　　The day before, a shooting incident occurred near the settlement, killing four Israelis. After the shooting incident, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Joyaf galante and Finance Minister Bezalel Smout Leah held a meeting and decided to "immediately push forward" this new housing plan.

　　According to the Israel Times, it is unclear whether this move is part of the Israeli government’s existing expansion plan for Jewish settlements in the West Bank. On the 18th, Netanyahu’s government not only announced that it would build 4,560 new houses in the West Bank, but also passed a controversial resolution, giving "almost all" the planning and approval authority for Jewish settlement construction in the West Bank to the far right-wing Smout Lihe.

　　Smout Richer grew up in Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Since he became a politician, he has repeatedly made hate speech against Arabs and supported the expansion of Jewish settlements in a high-profile way. In December, 2022, the camp of Likud leader Netanyahu won the general election, which was greatly contributed by Smout Lihe, whose religious Zionist Party was the second largest political party in the ruling coalition after Likud. Smout Leahy was appointed as finance minister by Netanyahu, and was also in charge of "civil affairs" in the West Bank.

　　According to Israeli media analysis, this move will greatly speed up and simplify the procedures for the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank, and at the same time promote some "illegal" settlements to be "legal". Previously, many stages of land planning approval required the authorization of the Minister of National Defense, but now it is "simplified to only one signature of Smout Richer".

　　The so-called "illegal" settlements refer to Jewish settlement facilities built privately without the authorization of the Israeli government or in violation of relevant Israeli laws and regulations. Such facilities are different from the so-called "legal" settlements authorized by the government. However, the international community generally believes that these two types of Jewish settlement construction are in violation of international law.

　　United Nations Secretary-General Kofi antonio guterres said on the 19th that he was "deeply disturbed" by the Israeli government’s expansion of power for Smout Richter. The United Nations Special Envoy for the Middle East, Thor Venesland, warned that Israel’s decision may aggravate the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

　　Public opinion generally believes that the current tension between Palestine and Israel is heating up again, and the Netanyahu government’s move is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. On the evening of the 21st, the Israel Defense Forces used drones to launch an air strike on a car in Jenin, a city in the northern West Bank, killing three Palestinians. According to Palestinian media reports, this is the first time since 2005 that the Israeli army has carried out an "assassination operation" with drones in the West Bank.

　　On the 21st, a large number of Jewish settlers also broke into some Palestinian villages and towns in the West Bank and set fire to them, which clashed with local people.

　　The situation in Palestine and Israel is tense, and neighboring countries express concern. The Jordanian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the 21st, condemning the Israeli government’s plan to build 1,000 new houses in the Eli settlement and warning Israel not to further violate international law, otherwise the "two-state solution" "may be buried forever". The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a statement urging that "the bloodshed must be stopped immediately, rather than undermining the regional and international detente".

The new form of microfilm attracts attention. Director: Youth is to dare to do anything.

　　　 Since the fire of "Chopsticks Brothers", "Microfilm", a new film form, has become a "potential stock" that fans and the industry are very optimistic about. The youth microfilm series "Dare" will be made into ten films, each of which will be starred by a "fast girl". The film will be directed by director Tian Meng, cutting-edge director Zhou Nan, director Chen Zhengdao and MV director Xie Dingguo, while director Zhang Yibai will be the producer.

　　　 It is reported that two microfilms starring "Fast Girl" Change Lu and Yu Jiali have been finished. At the press conference that day, directors Zhou Nan and Tian Meng also expressed their views on the films. Director Zhou Nan said that the theme of his film starring Change Lu was "Love and Trust". For Lu Yi’s performance, the director affirmed: "One of the highlights of this film is Change Lu’s performance, which really surprised me, and I am very much looking forward to her future performance;" The specific story is confidential now, but when I showed the clip to Long Danni (the president of Tianyu), she said ‘ You are bold enough ’ . But I think that youth is to dare to do anything, so this film is worth looking forward to. "

　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 8th, The Economic Information Daily published an article on June 8th, titled "Stable Scale and Excellent Structure, China’s foreign trade maintained positive growth for four consecutive months". According to the article, the data released by the General Administration of Customs on June 7 showed that in the first five months of this year, China’s total import and export value was 16.77 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.7%. Among them, exports were 9.62 trillion yuan, an increase of 8.1%; Imports were 7.15 trillion yuan, an increase of 0.5%; The trade surplus was 2.47 trillion yuan, an increase of 38%. Lu Daliang, director of the Statistics and Analysis Department of the General Administration of Customs, said that the series of policies and measures to stabilize the scale and optimize the structure of foreign trade have helped foreign trade operators to actively respond to the challenges brought about by the weakening external demand, effectively seize market opportunities, and promote China’s foreign trade to maintain positive growth for four consecutive months.

　　On the basis of steady growth in scale, there are still a series of structural highlights in China’s foreign trade that deserve attention. From the perspective of trade mode, general trade, as the main mode of China’s foreign trade, has increased the proportion of imports and exports. In the first five months, China’s general trade import and export was 11 trillion yuan, up 7%, accounting for 65.6% of China’s total foreign trade value, up 1.4 percentage points over the same period last year.

　　From the perspective of foreign trade subjects, the proportion of import and export of private enterprises exceeds 50%. In the first five months, the import and export of private enterprises was 8.86 trillion yuan, up 13.1%, accounting for 52.8% of China’s total foreign trade, up 3.9 percentage points over the same period last year.

　　From the perspective of major markets, China’s imports and exports to ASEAN and the European Union have maintained growth. In the first five months, ASEAN was China’s largest trading partner, and the total trade value between China and ASEAN was 2.59 trillion yuan, up 9.9%, accounting for 15.4% of China’s total foreign trade. The EU is China’s second largest trading partner, and the total trade value between China and the EU is 2.28 trillion yuan, up by 3.6%, accounting for 13.6%.

　　In the same period, China’s total import and export to countries along the Belt and Road was 5.78 trillion yuan, an increase of 13.2%. Among them, the export was 3.44 trillion yuan, an increase of 21.6%; Imports reached 2.34 trillion yuan, up 2.7%.

　　Behind the data is the real gain of the company. Recently, in the workshop of Juli New Materials Technology (Rizhao) Co., Ltd., a shaft welding wire is coming off the production line. This batch of orders of nearly 2 million yuan of welding materials, which have been expedited, will be exported to Romania, a country along the "Belt and Road" in batches after passing the customs inspection. "We and ‘ Belt and Road ’ Trade cooperation and exchanges between countries along the route have become more frequent and have become an important growth point for the company’s exports. " Qiao Jichun, general manager of the company, introduced. Since the beginning of this year, the company has made new gains in its business in countries and regions along the Belt and Road, such as Central and Eastern Europe, ASEAN and West Asia, and has expanded more than ten interested customers.

　　Pang Chaoran, an associate researcher at the Research Institute of the Ministry of Commerce, told reporters that the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) includes 10 ASEAN countries and 15 member countries including Australia, China, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand. Since its entry into force nearly one and a half years ago, the regional economic and trade potential has been continuously released. A few days ago, RCEP came into effect for the Philippines. So far, all 15 member countries in the agreement have completed the entry-into-force procedures, and the economic and trade cooperation in the region will continue to deepen. In addition, the construction of the "Belt and Road" is also progressing steadily, which provides more convenient conditions for Chinese foreign trade enterprises to explore the international market and will also become an important guarantee for the steady growth of foreign trade.

　　In addition, driven by the "new three kinds" of electric manned vehicles, lithium batteries and solar cells, in the first five months, China exported 5.57 trillion yuan of mechanical and electrical products, up 9.5%, accounting for 57.9% of the total export value.

　　Wang Qing, chief macro analyst of Oriental Jincheng, pointed out that automobile exports continued to be at a high level, and the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing industry was shaping new export momentum. In May, automobile (including chassis) exports continued the momentum of rising volume and price since the beginning of the year. This is mainly due to China’s "curve overtaking" in the field of new energy vehicles, and its export share in the global market, including developed markets such as Europe, is greatly increasing. At the same time, the export of lithium batteries and solar cells continued to grow rapidly in May, which showed that the transformation and upgrading of domestic manufacturing industry played an obvious role in promoting exports.

　　It is worth noting that the "new three kinds" are all mechanical and electrical products, and it is expected to maintain a good export growth. The Analysis of China’s Electromechanical Foreign Trade Situation in the First Quarter recently released by China Electromechanical Chamber of Commerce shows that in the past three years, factors such as demand release and order inflow, which have pushed China’s electromechanical exports to record highs, are undergoing obvious changes, and the global demand for electronic information products is sluggish and capacity transfer has led to a decrease in export volume. The export of emerging industries such as electric vehicles and photovoltaic products will continue to maintain a high prosperity and continue to release growth momentum. At present, the main automobile and photovoltaic enterprises are full of orders, and they are expanding production or deploying foreign investment in an orderly manner as planned, and their export growth is unabated.

　　Pang Chaoran further pointed out that in recent years, China’s economic transformation and upgrading have been accelerated, and the technical level of export products has been improved, and most "new track" industries have the first-Mover advantage. "These advantages are being transformed into the international competitiveness of China’s export-oriented industries and become an important force to promote the high-quality development of China’s economy."

　　Not only that, but the promotion of new formats and new models to foreign trade has become more and more obvious. According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, the number of cross-border e-commerce entities in China has exceeded 100,000. The vitality of cross-border e-commerce is constantly being released. Recently, on the cross-border e-commerce platform, stocking China summer appliances in advance has become a new hot spot. Statistics from Ali International Station show that from March to May this year, overseas buyers’ demand for air conditioners increased by more than 50% year-on-year, and fans also increased by more than 30% year-on-year. Among them, the "air conditioner that can generate electricity by itself" combined with photovoltaic+energy storage system is the most popular. In addition, the floor fan that is directly driven by solar panels and the desktop fan that can cool the water by adding water tanks are also popular.

　　Zhongshan Chunkai Electric has been deeply involved in Ali International Station for many years. The person in charge of the company said that in the past three years, the export orders of fans have increased by 10% every year. This year, European businesses are particularly sensitive to green energy, and solar fans and air conditioners have become new explosives.

　　Looking ahead, Pang Chaoran said that with the gradual gathering and growth of these new kinetic energy, China’s foreign trade is expected to achieve the goal of promoting stability and improving quality, and make more contributions to the high-quality development of the national economy.

　　Zhongxin. com Xi ‘an, August 27th (Reporter Alina) The reporter learned from the police in Xi ‘an on the 27th that Wang was originally a security guard of a security company in Xi ‘an. Because of lack of money, he became a "policeman" in the online world, and he swindled more than 30,000 yuan online as a "policeman". Recently, the police in Weiyang, Xi ‘an cracked the fraud case of posing as a policeman and successfully arrested the suspect Wang.

　　On July 16, 2019, the Tanjia Police Station of Weiyang Branch of Xi ‘an Public Security Bureau received an alarm from the victim, Ms. Lu, saying that she was cheated by a man named Wang for more than 30,000 yuan online. After receiving the police, the Tanjia police station immediately filed a case for investigation.

　　After investigation, the victim, Ms. Lu, met the suspect Wang through a QQ blind date group in June this year. The suspect Wang said that he was a policeman of a patrol special police brigade in a branch of Xi’ an. A moonlight salary was 5,500 yuan, and he also opened a company. He can earn tens of thousands every month. In order to gain the trust of Ms. Lu, Wang also forged a fake "police officer’s card", and soon they talked about love. During the period, the two met several times, and Wang also put forward the idea of setting up a family with Ms. Lu.

　　At first, Ms. Lu did not doubt Wang too much, but also because of her fake "police" status. But soon, the suspect Wang lied that his father was seriously ill and was in urgent need of money to pay medical expenses. He borrowed more than 30,000 yuan from Ms. Lu twice and refused to return it. After less than a month, Ms. Lu was "blacked out" by the suspect Wang. Ms. Lu realized that she had been cheated and reported the case to the police.

　　In order to make substantial progress in the case, the police handling the case made a move to "follow suit." The police asked Ms. Lu, the victim, to keep adding back the WeChat and QQ friends of the suspect Wang on the Internet, and said that she was not in a hurry to pay back the money, in order to let the suspect relax her vigilance. Soon, Ms. Lu got in touch with the suspect Wang again. In late August of this year, the police handling the case learned that the suspect Wang was helping his company recruit security guards, and the police pretended to be candidates and got the opportunity to get close contact with the suspect. On August 23, the police handling the case successfully arrested the suspect Wang at the place where he met. After a surprise trial, the suspect Wang confessed to his illegal and criminal behavior of impersonating a police officer to defraud Ms. Lu of more than 30,000 yuan online.

　　According to the confession of the suspect Wang, he is from Liquan, Xianyang. After graduating from junior high school, he worked in Xi ‘an, worked as a small business stall barbecue, worked as a driving school coach, and finally worked as a security guard in a security company in the southern suburbs of Xi ‘an. In June this year, Wang joined a blind date QQ group and met Ms. Lu in the group. He forged his documents and identity, talked about "fake love" with Ms. Lu, and defrauded Ms. Lu on the grounds that her father was seriously ill and urgently needed medical expenses. More than 30,000 yuan.

　　At present, the suspect Wang has been criminally detained by Weiyang police for fraud, and the case is under further investigation. (End)

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

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

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

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

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

Second, strengthen the construction of existing building safety management system

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Four, increase the investigation of existing building safety hazards.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
