A hundred years’ experience of football in China 142

Chapter one hundred and forty-two: Robert in his hometown was kicked out by the Brazilian Football Association.

After the 2014 World Cup, the Brazilian Football Association office

"Your hometown Robert, you are fired. What’s the matter with you? Twelve years ago, you performed very well. This year, your performance is so disappointing that you have humiliated our Brazilian football."

"David Genk, how did I lose the face of Brazilian football? I admit that my performance this year is a little poor, but I also led the team to complete the goal of securing four titles."

"I haven’t lost face, and my face has been thrown into the Pacific Ocean by you. I was defeated by Germany 0: 7 and the Netherlands 0: 5. You told me that I didn’t lose face, and I was so angry with you, you know?"

"These two games were accidents. It won’t happen again in the future. Don’t worry, but then again, my contract has expired anyway. It doesn’t matter."

"It doesn’t matter, haha, it’s killing me."

"Chairman Genk, what are you laughing at?"

"I tell you, your coaching career is over, hometown."

"What do you mean, make it clear?"

"I don’t know on other continents, at least in Europe and America, you can’t be the head coach of any national team, including the club team, and your home has been closed, which means you have no place in Brazil."

"What, who gave you the power, you are just the president of the Football Association?"

"President Barkson, he said to let me punish you, but he kicked you out of Brazil so that you could not coach in any team in Europe, America or even the world. I think it is the best punishment for you, Robert."

"What you said is true? I don’t believe it. "

"No, you don’t. Well, I’ll put President Barkson on the phone with you now."

After that, the phone was connected, and Barkson’s voice came: "Robert, leave Brazil now, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

"President Barkson, is it true what President Genk said?"

"Yes, it’s true, and Genk has reported it to me, and I agree with his decision to punish you."

"President Barkson, I didn’t break the law. Why confiscate my property?"

"You are not breaking the law, but it is similar to breaking the law, which is equivalent to breaking the law. Think about it, Brazil is a football kingdom and hosts the World Cup at home. As a result, you led the team to lose 12 goals in the semi-finals and the third and fourth finals, and lost the face of our country. " After that, Buckson hung up the phone.

"Did you hear that? You know, fans are scratching everywhere in China now, and many people have died. Do you think it’s your responsibility?"

"Well, I’ll leave. I’ll go. You’re too hard. As a player, I won the World Cup for my country. You didn’t mention my merits. This time, I did. You did this to me. I’m not reconciled."

"It’s because of your past contributions that your merits and demerits are at the end, or you may have to go to jail according to President Barkson’s meaning, understand?"

Robert slammed the door angrily in his hometown. Later, he found many national teams and clubs that were turned away, and he ran into a wall everywhere. He had no choice but to take a good trip and relax himself, and his chosen destination was China, an ancient oriental country.

Walking on the street in Sioux City, China, Robert of his hometown was ecstatic and shouted, "What a beautiful city. No wonder people say that there is Suzhou and Hangzhou under heaven, so it is really unnecessary to spread his name."

Profit growth ≠ The stock price is improving. Which beauty listed company will make the most money in 2023?

Text |C2CC New Media

As the year approaches, I believe we are most concerned about two things: First, the A shares that have repeatedly fallen below 2,800 points have made China investors "lose their shorts"; second, whether the annual meeting and the year-end bonus will be "a fart year" as Wang Jianlin said, or "don’t give up hope even if you lose everything in the secondary market, after all, there is still a tertiary market".

The good news is that according to the data released by the national statistics department, the gross domestic product (GDP) of China reached 126.06 trillion yuan in 2023, up 5.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was 2.2 percentage points faster than that of 2022.

In addition, the National Bureau of Statistics released the domestic consumption data for the whole year of 2023. From January to December 2023, the total retail sales of social consumer goods was 47,149.5 billion yuan, an increase of 7.2% over the previous year. Among them, the retail sales of cosmetics was 414.2 billion yuan, up 5.1%, and the growth rate of cosmetics market did not outperform the market.

At the end of January, 2024, listed beauty companies at home and abroad released their 2023 financial reports and performance forecasts one after another. C2CC Media’s "Counting Beauty" column counted the relevant financial report data, and found that for domestic beauty companies, profit growth and turning losses into profits are the main melody melody, but it seems that profit growth can’t save the bleak capital market, while international beauty companies are mixed. Behind the performance growth, it is more through "price increase strategy" to offset the continuation of product sales.

We can also spy from the import and export data released by the General Administration of Customs in 2023. From January to December 2023, the total import and export value was 41.76 trillion yuan, up 0.2% year-on-year, of which the quantity and amount of cosmetics showed a double downward trend. From January to December, the import of beauty cosmetics and toiletries was 358,600 tons, down 14.2% year-on-year, and the total import value was 126.02 billion yuan, down 15.2% year-on-year.

On the chain of skiing contempt, spending 10 thousand yuan can only be regarded as "poor sliding"

Chifeng Meilin Valley Ski Resort, which has been in operation for ten years, has ushered in the hottest winter.
At 7 o’clock in the morning, 26-year-old Yu Yang got up from the bed of Meilin Valley Hotel, skillfully dressed a whole set of skiing equipment, picked up a snowboard about the same height, passed through Meilin Valley Visitor Center, put down the snowboard and slowly slid to the snow field 500 meters away from the hotel.
Meilin Valley Ski Resort is located in Meilin Town, Harqin Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, and it is also the second closest ski resort to Yujia. The average temperature in winter reaches-20℃. According to the White Paper of China Ski Industry in 2020, at least 80,000 people will visit this ski resort in recent winter.
Especially this year, the number of skiers has obviously increased. Under the atmosphere of Beijing Winter Olympics, especially China’s Gu Ailing won the gold medal of freestyle skiing platform in Beijing Winter Olympics, which inspired more and more people’s skiing enthusiasm.
In the past Spring Festival holiday, young people no longer went to Sanya for a holiday, but went to major ski resorts in the north. Skiing is attracting more and more young people to enter the field. In the circle of friends, they are either skiing or on their way to the snow field.
Merchants are also using the atmosphere of the Winter Olympics to dig gold, and the accommodation, catering and ski equipment businesses around the snow field are constantly emerging. As a result, the competition and involution of venues, equipment and technology are also escalating. The equipment of 10,000 yuan is only the basic threshold for skiers. On top of this, the professional training of 15,000 yuan and the coaching qualification of 45,000 yuan are not the highest, but only higher.
Those who ask coaches look down on their own games, those who play with single boards look down on those who play with double boards, those who ski look down on those who take photos and punch cards, and those who run snow resorts are not as good as those who sell equipment and open hotels. On the ski resort, watersheds and chains of contempt are everywhere, and every step of the skier shows his net worth in this circle.
Spending nearly 10,000 yuan in the snow field for the New Year.
On the day before New Year’s Eve, Yu Yang set off from Dalian, arrived in Chifeng by car for seven hours, and directly stayed at Meilin Valley Hotel in the scenic spot.
"During the Spring Festival in Meilin Valley Ski Resort, the price of self-contained ski equipment is one day in 290 yuan, and the hotel accommodation is 615 yuan a day including breakfast. For seven days during the Spring Festival, it will cost 6,335 yuan for accommodation and snow tickets. If the meal is calculated at 100 yuan a day, the most basic travel expenses, accommodation and snow tickets for this skiing will exceed 8,000 yuan together. In addition, there are fuel costs and tolls from Dalian to Chifeng, totaling more than 1,400 yuan. " Yu Yang told the reporter of Phoenix WEEKLY Finance that he had spent nearly 10,000 yuan on a seven-day skiing trip.
Born in the northeast, Yu Yang was a skier in college. Living in Dalian, he has been to Chongli in Hebei and Yongji in Jilin to satisfy his skiing desire, in addition to the ordinary leisure ski resorts in the city.
"The snow season is too short and precious. I am on the snow field every weekend. During the Winter Olympics, I must find a better snow field to have an addiction."
According to the official WeChat introduction of Meilin Valley Ski Club, during the Spring Festival, the price of accommodation and skiing for two people is 1,400 yuan a day, with an average person in 700 yuan. If two people travel together, the cost performance will be higher than that of going alone.
Nevertheless, as the Meilin Valley Ski Resort, the price is much cheaper than Chongli.
According to the official platform of Chongli Wanlong Ski Resort, the snow ticket for two days on weekdays and weekends in the 2021-2022 snow season is 1,050 yuan, and the price for two days and one night of Shuanglong Hotel plus skiing ranges from 1,880 yuan to 3,350 yuan.
According to the pictures shared by consumers before, the price of snow tickets for two days on weekdays and weekends at Chongli Wanlong Ski Resort in the snow season of 2020-2021 is about 680 yuan, and the price for two days and one night at Shuanglong Hotel ranges from 1,269 yuan to 2,269 yuan. According to this price comparison, in the snow season of 2021-2022, the snow ticket price of Chongli Wanlong Ski Resort rose by about 54%, and the accommodation price rose by about 44%.
Although skiing is not a cheap sport, under the influence of the winter Olympic atmosphere, many areas have sought to take advantage of ice and snow to go out. In December, 2021, the advertisement of Changchun Ice and Snow Festival has reached the gate of Beijing Jianguomen subway station, and there have been many advertisements and publicity activities with the theme of ice and snow sports in Sanlitun.
The configuration of the snow field is also trying to upgrade. For example, Chifeng Meilin Valley, Chongli Taiwu Ski Resort and so on, hotels, restaurants, hot springs, cinemas and other supporting facilities are readily available, which has changed from a sports ground to a holiday resort.
The live video shot by Yu Yang to reporters shows that there are still many skiers who shuttle back and forth on the snow field on the third day of the New Year’s Day. You can even see some children.
At Chongli Taiwu Ski Resort, Ms. Zhou from Beijing is having a good time with her two sons. She and her eldest son skied on the advanced track in tandem, while the younger son was being taught the primary skills by the coach on the primary track.
"Taiwu has Marriott, Hyatt, and a family multi-bedroom apartment. The accommodation is the best among several snow resorts. There are also hot springs, relaxing in a hot spring after skiing, and watching movies. There are many choices for leisure activities. " Ms. Zhou said.
Single board looks down on double board, and skiers look down on punch cards.
The temperature of the Meilin Valley Ski Resort in Chifeng keeps between -10℃ and -20℃ all the year round. However, Yu Yang, who has just galloped down the advanced snow trail, looks radiant and ruddy.
"I’m sure it’s not cold. It won’t be cold to ski. Moreover, I wore three layers inside and outside. First, the quick-drying clothes are very tight and close to the body, which can lock the body temperature. This set of quick-drying clothes costs 3,000 yuan. I put a thermal underwear on the outside of the quick-drying clothes, and then I put a shin warmer and a warm baby in the ski suit, fully armed. "
Yu Yang said that he is a "poor skater" in the purchase of ski equipment. Based on the principle of ensuring professionalism and saving money, he did not excessively pursue famous brands. He showed his annual bill for ski equipment to reporters.
"ATOMIC snowshoes are almost 3,000 yuan, BURTON snowboard is about 3,500 yuan, snow goggles is 1,200 yuan, second-hand Bern helmet 500 yuan, a set of X-bionic quick-drying clothes is 3,000 yuan, BURTON’s second-hand board fixer was found at that time, more than 1,000 yuan, ski suit 800 yuan and protective gear 800 yuan. Overall, these basic equipments add up to almost 13,000 yuan. "
This is obviously not the poorest way to play. Mu Zi, a college student in Beijing, shared the raiders on Little Red Book. It shows that with the full-time college student ID card of Chinese mainland, you can make an appointment for free skiing through the Wanlong Holiday Paradise service number. You only need to pay 20 yuan insurance, and you can even make an appointment for several days, and you can make an appointment twice a month. In addition, the round-trip toll from Beijing to Prince Edward City only needs 190 yuan, college students only need 100 yuan for one day to rent ski gear, and the average person in the surrounding homestays is 80-100 yuan. The student party with limited living expenses can also experience the joy of skiing with a budget of 500.
In terms of input cost, skiing seems to be a sport of "no cap on the top and no limit on the bottom".
At the top of the ski circle, it is natural to go abroad to the ski resort under the Swiss Alps, where there is unparalleled pure beauty and the best powder snow in the Alps. Britain’s Prince Charles, Prince William and Princess Kate are all frequent visitors here.
In China, Yabuli in Northeast China is a resort frequented by entrepreneurs. With the opportunity of the annual Yabuli Forum, many business tycoons have competed on the resort, and their momentum and influence are no less than the dinner during the Wuzhen Internet Conference.
Among them, Wang Shi, the founder of Vanke, experienced skiing for the first time in 1996 at Yabuli Snow Resort. According to a "Yabuli Forum Skiing List" circulating on the Internet, during a recent Yabuli Forum, Ma Yun, Lei Jun, Li Yanhong, Wang Shi, Li Guoqing and other business tycoons all appeared on the skiing list.
Distinguish between high-end and low-end, the price of ski resort and ski equipment is the first watershed, followed by gameplay.
"Please ask the coach to look down on his own play, and those who play single board look down on playing double board." Yu Yang told the reporter of Phoenix WEEKLY Finance that the skiing circle has such an unwritten ranking. Comparatively speaking, it’s easier to get started with double boards, while it’s more exciting with single boards.
However, skiers living abroad believe that the advancement of double boards can better reflect the technical level. "Many foreigners who go skiing in the Alps abroad are more popular with skateboarding." In the snow season of 2020-2021, Ms. Wang and her friends signed up for a ski course of a famous ski instructor in London, and she studied snowboarding. "When I went skiing in Switzerland, only old people skated on the single board, or the double board was fast."
Whether it’s a single board or a double board, everyone will feel the excitement brought by the sudden surge of adrenaline when they sprint down from the top of the high-grade road.
As for technology, skiers who have reached a certain stage can take the CASI coaching certificate in the Canadian skiing system. Level 1 is the most elementary coaching level. You can teach skiers at the elementary level by winning the Level 1 certificate.
Yu Yang said that the process of textual research and driving test is similar, and both need to receive training for a period of time. CASI coaching certificate includes four levels, first study and then test.
According to the official WeChat of Maple Ski Industry, the CASI coaching certificate training institution, the certification fee for Level 1 coaching is 7,200 yuan for 5 days, and the training place is Wanlong and Fulong Ski Resort in Chongli. According to preliminary estimates, the prices of snow tickets in these two places are already above average in China. Coupled with transportation, tickets and accommodation costs, the cost of obtaining this ski instructor certificate is at least 15,000 yuan.
Such a price is still "someone outside the person." Ms. Wang and her friends signed up for another skiing course in Britain. The whole course has ten lessons, and the price is 5,000 pounds (about 45,000 yuan). The coach promised to reach the L1 level of junior coach after the whole course. However, when asked if she has reached such a technical level now, Ms. Wang said with a wry smile: "I only went to class two or three times, and I don’t have time to go there again." But I will feel that I have taken a class, and I am confident when I go skiing with my friends in Switzerland. "
Different ski resorts, different consumption levels and technical levels have formed different classes of skiing. But there is a class that all skiers despise, that is, the "online celebrity" posing in the snow field.
Zhang Yiqing (pseudonym) is a self-media anchor in Hangzhou. This winter, her company specially arranged for her to go on a business trip to Wanda Ski Resort in Changbai Mountain, Jilin Province to shoot short videos on skiing-related topics.
"I never liked outdoor sports before. I couldn’t run 800 meters in college, but I went to work." Zhang Yiqing said. According to the work arrangement, she stayed at Park Hyatt Hotel in Changbai Mountain all the time, mainly learning a few simple moves, wearing brand ski clothes and taking some beautiful photos with sports bra. "I have to say that the snow field is really out, and later the short video works are also a little hot."
But in Yu Yang’s view, such behavior is unsafe on the one hand, and misleading ordinary skiers on the other.
"These people are not serious about skiing, and it is very dangerous to pose on the snowy road; There are still many beautiful women wearing cool clothes. Taking such photos on social platforms will mislead people who don’t understand skiing, thinking that skiing doesn’t need to wear a lot. In fact, it is very important to keep warm during skiing. "
It is difficult to make a profit on the ski resort, and the equipment sells well.
The skiing atmosphere didn’t just rise this year. Foreign media quoted domestic data in China, showing that in 2015, when Beijing won the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, the number of skiers in China had reached 12.5 million, and since then, it has doubled to 26 million.
According to the data of the State Sports General Administration, by 2025, the total scale of China’s ice and snow industry will reach 1 trillion yuan.
Enterprise survey data show that by the end of November 2020, there were 5,008 ski-related enterprises in China, including 1,684 ski-related enterprises. Harbin has become the largest city with 416 ski-related enterprises, while Zhangjiakou and Beijing rank second and third. Judging from the ranking of provinces, Hebei, Heilongjiang and Guangdong rank in the top three, and the three northeastern provinces account for 27% of the country.
Despite this, in the past few years, the key word around large snow resorts has always been "loss".
According to public reports, Wanlong Ski Resort in Zhangjiakou has been losing money for ten years since it opened in the 2004-2005 snow season. In the meantime, only in the 2014-2015 snow season, influenced by Beijing’s bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, it made a profit for the first time. After 2017, Wanlong lost money again.
Zhang Litao, general manager of Chongli Fulong Ski Resort, once worked in Taiwu Town. He told the reporter of Phoenix WEEKLY Finance that the ski resort is a means to attract guests, and the profit point is not by selling snow tickets, but by consumer behavior other than skiing. As a complex of lifestyles, the ski resort wants to attract not all skiers, but skiers, junior high school skiers and middle-class families with children, and turn skiing into a holiday habit for middle-class families, which is as popular as playing golf.
"According to this goal, the design of the ski resort must emphasize fun and fashion." Zhang Litao said, "Advanced trails only account for 30%, and snowy trails pay attention to visual and entertainment effects. There is a theme sculpture on the mountain, which will change every year. A DJ square is built in the middle of the snow field to render the snow field with music. The town’s fun park is divided into four difficult areas: black, pink, blue and orange, which not only improves skiing skills, but also allows more people to experience skiing fun. "
Indeed, outside the snow field, what is really hot is the business of equipment sales, accommodation and catering, and even the surrounding housing prices. After the successful bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics, the house price of Chongli in Zhangjiakou generally soared to more than 10,000 yuan/m 2, and even individual projects reached 30,000 yuan/m 2.
"In 2015, the number of guests with their own skis did not exceed 20% of the total number," a coach of Dalian Happy Snow World told the reporter of Phoenix WEEKLY Finance. "Now more than half of the guests enter the ski resort with their own equipment, and the number of single boards has exceeded that of double boards. Snowsuit helmets are basically self-contained, and there are many fashionable and big-name figures. There are more and more young people, the market is rich, and the new generation of consumption power has also risen. "
According to the data of Tmall platform, during the "Double Eleven" period in 2021, the sales of ski products increased by 120% year-on-year. The data recently released by AliExpress, a cross-border e-commerce platform, also shows that in the fourth quarter of 2021, the overseas sales of ski products in China increased by over 60% year-on-year.
"Most experienced skiers start by renting equipment. Generally, the ski resort package includes the cost of renting clothes and ski gear. However, after having certain skiing experience, they usually choose to buy it themselves. "
Fashion luxury brands and high-end sports brands are striving to seize this market opportunity. Luxury brands such as LVMH, Gucci, Prada, Dior, etc. have also spared no effort in the huge white market, and rushed to launch joint-name ski suits, snowboards and other equipment. A snowboard in LV costs 40,000 yuan, which is 10 times that of ordinary professional ski brands.
The financing of the ice and snow industry is also reflected in related industries. In 2021, social APP Slippery received a 40 million yuan A round investment from Gaochun, and Aoxue Culture, which owns two ski equipment brands of "Zero Summer" and "NOBADAY", completed the A round financing in October 2021, with an amount of tens of millions of yuan; SNOW 51 also completed the A and A+ rounds of financing in the same year, with an amount exceeding 100 million yuan.
In fact, under the hot atmosphere, the snow field is not worried about passenger flow. However, the profitability of the ski resort depends on the construction of hardware facilities and the improvement of basic service capabilities.
For families with children, Taiwu team set up a children’s ski service center. When parents ski, they entrust their children to the service center, where there will be children’s instructors to teach skiing.
"In the future, these children from middle-class families who were brought to ski vacations will be the backbone of China’s ski market in the next two decades." Zhang Litao said.

Bus conductor who sticks to his post: If he can’t catch the New Year’s dinner, he will eat the "New Year’s supper".

He is not good at words, which always makes him blush when he speaks in public, but he works unequivocally and always rushes to the front line in his work. During the Spring Festival in 2022, he stuck to his post as always, escorting the passengers with professional driving skills and thoughtful service. He was the conductor of line 527 of Guangzhou Bus Group No.2 Branch.
Leave the opportunity to go home for reunion to colleagues farther away.
Since becoming a bus conductor in 2003, Mi Zhifeng has never been back to his hometown Qingyuan during the Spring Festival. He said, "During the Spring Festival, leave the opportunity to go home to colleagues who are far away from home."
Captain Michael is a warm-hearted man. He always smiles and never mind doing more work. Near the Spring Festival, the workers had something to ask for leave at home and could not go to work. Mi Zhifeng, who had been resting, took the initiative to apply for the shift of the top workers. There are also temporary chartered buses in the line and volunteers who need to be temporarily arranged to guide the passenger flow in the line. Mi Zhifeng always takes the lead in expressing his participation. Under his leadership, other workers have joined in.
On New Year’s Eve this year, party member Mi Zhifeng will stick to his position as a driver and provide safe travel services for the passengers. He plans to go home after work and have a "group night snack" with his wife and children. "My family understands my work very well and they are very supportive. I can’t have a group dinner with them, so they said to me,’ Then we will have a group night snack and be equally happy.’ "Mi Zhifeng said this with a smile and tenderness in his eyes.
"gentle" driving, love to study.
Mi Zhifeng is an old party member. He drives the "party member Pioneer" vehicle, which is always polished by him. Before every train leaves, he carefully checks and debugs the vehicle. When driving the vehicle, he is always very "gentle", and passengers can hardly feel the start and braking of the vehicle. Line 527 passes through Haizhu District, Yuexiu District and Baiyun District, with many stops. Aunt Huang, who often takes the 527 line vehicle, said.
In the eyes of colleagues, Mi Zhifeng is still a technical "great god". Mi Zhifeng became the conductor of Line 527 in 2013. "Safe driving is inseparable from being familiar with vehicles." Mi Zhifeng likes to study the characteristics and driving skills of different types of buses and loves to share them with his colleagues. Some workers told reporters that when the line was just replaced with a new car, a conductor debugged the vehicle before leaving the car, always feeling that there was something wrong with the brakes, so he quickly called Mi Zhifeng to help see what was going on. After sitting in the driver’s seat for a while, Mi Zhifeng solved the problem. It turns out that because the braking operation of the new model is slightly different from that of the old model, it is easy to misunderstand that it is a braking problem. As long as a little skill is used, driving will be smooth. Mi Zhifeng can solve problems confidently and freely, because he usually loves to study vehicle professional technology.
During the Spring Festival, in order to ensure the city’s public transportation, many "bus people" still stick to their jobs, and "Mi Zhifeng" use their post responsibilities and responsibilities to escort passengers to travel safely; With the time to stick to the job, more citizens, passengers and their families will be reunited.

Hold on to Helan Mountain without stopping work on New Year’s Day.

The branch line of Baoyin high-speed railway Yinba (Yinchuan to Bayanhaote) is an important part of the Jinglan passage of China’s "eight vertical and eight horizontal" railway network, and its Helanshan tunnel is the first single-track tunnel for passenger dedicated lines with a design speed of 200 kilometers per hour. Because it passes through Helan Mountain and the Ming Great Wall, it is necessary to protect the ecological environment and ensure the safety of cultural relics during the construction of Helan Mountain Tunnel. On New Year’s Day holiday, more than 400 railway builders of China Railway 15th Bureau fought for the front line of Helanshan Tunnel construction, racing against time to seize the construction period.

520, this movie is for everyone who loves movies.

Today is May 20th.
On this special day, I want to recommend a movie about "love" to everyone.
In other words, a love letter written to the movie and also to every audience.
This film tells "the sincere confession of a great director".

He has an engineer father, who taught him how to think rationally and how to turn modern technology into his best creative tool.
He also has a pianist’s mother, who taught him the perception of art and a natural desire for expression as an artist.
The growing environment laid the foundation for him to dream.
However, how to turn a hobby of "wasting money" into a career that can "make money" and how to face the tear between the two are still issues throughout his adolescence.
He was bullied on campus because of his Jewish identity, or was traumatized by his parents’ divorce.
But all these eventually became his creative nourishment, the motif of his life’s creation.
Every great director will have his own autobiographical story.
Now, it’s finally Spielberg’s turn to tell this story.
The Dreammaker directed by Steven Allan Spielberg was the winner of last year’s Oscar hit, the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama and the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival.
So far, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is still as high as 92%.
I am also glad to see that this film will be released in China on May 25th. This is a rare film that we must see on the big screen.
This film is the best of the year in many people’s minds, and it is also praised by many people as "the most touching film of the year".
It’s really hard not to be moved by it.
Because it’s so sincere.
Unlike many films with the same nostalgic theme, in Dreammaker, you will not see a narcissism of successful people looking back on the past, nor will you see a bubble gum-style self-beautification.
On the contrary, director Spielberg, who was 76 years old, still had a childlike heart.
He told a story about growth and family in a very plain and restrained tone.
He also used such a plain and restrained tone to reveal some of the most "tearing" moments in his childhood.
So, is this movie about pain?
On the contrary, it tells—
Still "love."
The A side of the story is how a teenager who loves movies grows up with the encouragement of his parents.
In the winter of 1952, Sammy watched the first film in his life accompanied by his parents.
Before the film was shown, he was crying in the car and didn’t dare to go into the cinema, as if it were the maw of a wild animal, which would devour him young.
But after the film was shown, he looked at the shiny screen and lost his words in an instant.
For the first time, he understood that the movie was a dazzling dream.
Because there was a train in the movie, his parents bought him a train toy as a gift.
But what really attracted him was not the train itself, but how to record the picture of the train collision with a camera.
He became addicted to recording everything with a camera.

At first, it was a family video, with sisters playing together and family camping together.
Later, it became a movie at school, a gun battle and a drama.
He taught himself by himself and learned the most important thing:
The existence of the camera is not only to record the truth.
You can also edit, splice and reconstruct the truth in your own way to create your own truth.
But the most important thing is always "seeing".
Because movies are about seeing.
On the b side of the story, it is about the family of teenagers.
You will find that, coincidentally, every time he succeeds in film creation, it always seems to be accompanied by some kind of life tear.
When his father encouraged him to shoot a camping documentary for his mother, he stumbled across another truth about his mother in this documentary.
However, when the campus documentary he made was broadcast at the graduation party and everyone was cheering for his work, he had to bear the pain of his parents’ divorce and breaking up with his first love alone.
Under the seemingly bright and warm tone of the whole movie, there always seems to be a faint and melancholy background.
Although it is cruel, it is very real. It shows us that movies are not reality, and movies are not a good medicine for reality.

Every time Sammy tries to do it allImmersed in the movie, reality will give him a hard whip, which will make him pull away from it, and he will have to taste the tearing feeling between reality and the movie alone.
So, when did Sammy make up his mind to pursue film art?
Perhaps it was at the moment when he understood what a "movie" really was.
At the beginning of the film, the camera was really just a toy, and making movies was just an escapist hobby.
But the most crucial and turning point happened to be that Sammy discovered the secret of his mother’s infidelity through the lens of the camera.
He repeatedly confirmed his mother’s movements and eyes from the seemingly unimportant lens edge, and confirmed that she really admired another man.
At this moment, the film is no longer an escape from reality, but helps Sami "see" the reality.
In other words, he helped Sammy open another realistic perspective.
Originally, for him, family meant unconditional tolerance, understanding and support; But now he understands that there is another person’s sacrifice behind it.
It was the mother who made the sacrifice: she gave up her career as a pianist and suppressed her feelings.
In the scene that struck him like lightning, what he saw was not betrayal, but sacrifice.
It was his mother’s sacrifice that fulfilled his dream-maker.
Family is like a balance, and someone has to make sacrifices.
Mothers will make sacrifices for their husbands and children.
Children also have to make sacrifices for their father’s work.
In the second half of the film, their family moved to California, and Sammy had to face the new campus environment and the bullying from his classmates.
However, in their family history, there always seems to be a "crazy" gene that is desperate to pursue what they love.
Maybe when he comes back at midnight, Sammy often thinks of what his uncle who works in the circus said.
"Family, art, will tear you apart"
"We are addicts, and art is our antidote"
"Family is our love."
"But we will be crazy about art."

Mothers also need to make choices.
And at this moment, the "dreamer" once again played the magic:
It is precisely because everyone in the film, no matter what choice he makes, starts from his own heart. So they also got the tolerance and understanding of their families.
Through these choices, what the film tries to convey to us is a life attitude about "love": "Love what I love and dream as much as I can".
You never have to be sorry to be yourself. You can be anyone you want to be.
Only by finding your own love and creating your own life dreams can you meet all the splendor in life.


Because I am very sure that this is a movie that we must watch on the big screen.
From the first shot, it was born for the cinema.
It is also about the "love" of filmmakers.
In the film, you will see many historical eggs, The Train Comes into the Station, The King of the Opera, and john ford, the guest role of director david lynch himself …
You will also see many classic films in the film, including many prototypes of Spielberg’s own future films.
For example, all the films shown in the film that the protagonist shot in his early days are really the works of Spielberg himself when he was young. He re-filmed these materials with great interest, as if he had relived his childhood with the audience.
For many years, Spielberg himself was a Hollywood "myth".
In this film, he re-examined this myth and told us all that "myth is only human".
The director tries to explore some contradictory and contradictory motifs in the film-technology and art, family and self, film and reality. The tear between them runs through the whole movie.
And in the end, perhaps the answer we want to know most as an audience is-
What is a movie?
Maybe the movie is a dream.
We hope to use movies to dream and make up for the dissatisfaction in life.
But dreams will "betray" you: every time Sammy is happy because of the movie, reality will bring him pain.
Perhaps the film is a perspective, a kind of cognition.
The eyes of the camera can capture what the human eye can’t see and what the human heart can’t capture.
It can jump the horizon and take you to another level of reality.
It broke your dreams, your fantasies.
It is a reality in itself.
After that, the film seems to have "surpassed" the reality.
In the second half of the film, the director filmed a plot that many people thought was worth pondering.
Sammy was bullied in his new school.
But when he had the opportunity to pick up the camera, he not only didn’t make a fool of the bully in the camera, but filmed the other side as handsome, tall and shining like Apollo.
Why would he do that?
Even the school bully doesn’t understand himself.
And Sammy said, "I just want to make my movie better."
As a director, he sacrificed his feelings and his pain before restoring the "truth" of a film.
For him, the film is neither a mirror of reality, nor a dream, nor a playground, but an imagination to make up for regret.
A movie is a movie, his art and his creation.
He can give everything for creation.
Therefore, when the screen lights up, he will see his own beam of light.
The existence of movies is not used to escape from reality, nor to reconstruct reality.
Movies are another reality.
This is his love for movies.
In other words, "film" itself is also a metaphor.
Throughout life, people are torn between reality and dreams, between responsibility and love.
Each of us has our own "movie", but how much are you willing to pay for your love?
Movies are Spielberg’s "choice".
And each of us has our own choices.
I believe that almost everyone has been accompanied by at least one Spielberg movie in their childhood.
Schindler’s List, E.T., Jurassic World, Artificial Intelligence Ready Player One …
These movies not only carry Spielberg’s dreams, but also our memories and our reality.
Movies are dreams, Spielberg is a dreamer, and we have all seen ourselves in his world and the reality of another dimension.
This time, what he said is his "dream maker".
Anyway, on May 25th, I will go to see The Dreamer again. Because this is not only a movie, but also the true meaning of his childhood, family, life and dreams. It’s a meeting between each of us and Spielberg.
