1905Movie Network News 2017The Chinese Lunar Year of the Rooster has ushered in a good start for the mainland film market. According to preliminary statistics, from1month27New Year’s Eve2month2On the sixth day of the new year, the shadow market is swallowed in 7 days33.36100 million yuan, more than last year’s Spring Festival30.8The box office increased by 8.3 billion.%…33The figure of 100 million has once again broken the Spring Festival record, and there is no doubt that the Lunar Year of the Rooster has become the strongest Spring Festival record in history.

　

"Westward Journey to Fighting Demons",,, and five new films that opened on the first day of the new year have achieved quite bright results. They have respectively harvested 1.153 billion, 872 million, 572 million, 412 million and 297 million box office, leading the Spring Festival file. It is worth mentioning that since the fourth day of the new year, Jackie Chan’s "Kung Fu Yoga" has pulled down the biggest hit "Westward Journey to Fighting Demons" produced by Stephen Chow and directed by Tsui Hark, and has become the single-day box office champion for three consecutive days.

　

In addition, the cumulative box office of cartoons that opened on February 1 reached 10.02 million. Those that opened on January 27 performed poorly, and only received 13.52 million yuan in box office after 7 days of release.

　

"Journey to the West" broke the record of the first day of gold 1.10 billion, but the explosion was counterattacked by "Kung Fu Yoga"

　

Following last year, Zhou Xingchi, Guo Zijian directed, Zhou Xingchi supervised the film "Westward Journey to Fighting Demons" this Spring Festival and came out on top, the first day of the new year to attract money 353 million (including zero single-day box office for 365 million), broke the dust for two years, by April 2015 set a box office record of 345 million yuan (the film contains zero single-day box office for 398 million), sitting on the throne of the first-day box office champion in our country’s film history. At the same time, "Westward Journey to Fighting Demons" also defeated "Mermaid" and became our country’s fastest breaking 200 million and fastest breaking 300 million movie. Ultimately, the film was swallowed 1.153 billion yuan at the box office during the Spring Festival.

　

"Journey to the West" no suspense to lead the Spring Festival file, but surprisingly, the film box office has been declining, from the first to the sixth day of the new year, "Journey to the West" were reported 353 million, 215 million, 179 million, 145 million, 130 million and 116 million. The previously less optimistic action comedy film "Kung Fu Yoga" has been making great progress, in the Spring Festival holiday respectively 137 million, 126 million, 141 million, 148 million, 160 million and 153 million, the box office not only rose steadily, but also from January 31st on the fourth day of the new year, for three consecutive days to surpass "Journey to the West", the sudden counterattack became the single-day box office champion, leading the second half of the Spring Festival file.

　

In the end, "Kung Fu Yoga" reached 872 million yuan in the six days of the Spring Festival, 280 million behind "Journey to the West" and ranked second in the Spring Festival box office. However, on the first day of work after the Spring Festival on February 3, "Kung Fu Yoga" still received 25% of the pre-arranged films, and "Journey to the West" won the first place in the row. The follow-up box office of "Kung Fu Yoga" also continued to rise.

　

Four films kept pace and led the Spring Festival file "Havoc in Tianzhu" fell all the way, and the reputation of "Riding the Wind and Waves" rose

　

In addition to "Journey to the West to Fighting Demons", Wang Baoqiang’s directorial debut "Havoc in Tianzhu" can be said to be the most concerned film during the Spring Festival, but after the film was released, word-of-mouth hit the street, resulting in a high box office opening and low box office. 187 million, 114 million, 88.843 million, 67.723 million, 58.214 million, 49.773 million yuan, the box office trend of "Havoc in Tianzhu" from January 28 to February 2 is obviously insufficient stamina. From the second day of the new year, "Havoc in Tianzhu" was surpassed by "Kung Fu Yoga", and on the fourth day of the new year, it was pressed by Han Han’s second big screen work "Riding the Wind and Waves". From the third to the sixth day of the new year, the single-day box office was less than 100 million yuan, and the film also fell from the runner-up in the single-day

　

The most controversial film in the Spring Festival is "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves". This time, Han Han once again challenged the big screen, but he did not expect to bear the charges of "straight male cancer", "giant baby" and other values. The film was also boycotted by Xu Jiao and other star companies on Weibo. At the beginning of its release, the film did not perform well. It only received 67.66 million yuan at the box office on the day of its opening, which is far from "Journey to the West", "Havoc in Tianzhu", and "Kung Fu Yoga". However, with the word-of-mouth fermentation of "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves", the film has also been affirmed by the audience. Since the third day of the new year, the box office has been growing all the way, and "Riding the Wind and Breaking the Waves" has also harvested 412 million yuan at the box office in

　

Last year’s Spring Festival file, "Mermaid" was a big one, followed by, forming a triangular pattern. This year’s Spring Festival file did not have an absolute explosion, but formed a situation where the four films of "Journey to the West", "Kung Fu Yoga", "Havoc in Tianzhu" and "Riding the Wind and Waves" were neck and neck. The four films also joined forces to cut off 3.006 billion box office in the Spring Festival file, accounting for 90% of the total box office of this year’s Spring Festival file.

　

In addition, also on the first day of the new year, the cartoon "Bear Haunted · Fantasy Space" has accumulated box office 297 million during the Spring Festival. In order to avoid blockbusters, the "released one day in advance" has only received 13.53 million yuan at the box office as of February 2, and the results are quite dismal. The animated film "", which opened on February 1, received 10.02 million in two days.

　

The Spring Festival file has grown for ten consecutive years, and the Year of the Rooster has set a new record. On the first day of the new year in 2017, the box office broke the 800 million mark

As soon as the Lunar Year of the Rooster opened in 2017, the Chinese film market ushered in a good start. On January 28, the first day of the new year created a new record for the single-day box office in our country’s film history. On the same day, the market reported 803 million, which was 160 million yuan higher than the single-day box office of 646 million yuan on the first day of the new year last year, an increase of 24%. The New Year’s Spring Festival has always been a lucky day for our country’s box office, and has been growing rapidly for more than 5 years. In 2012, our country’s single-day box office during the Spring Festival was only 61 million. On the first day of the new year in 2013, the single-day box office during the Spring Festival broke through the billion yuan mark for the first time. In just 5 years, to the 2017 Lunar Year of the Rooster, the single-day box office during the

　

In addition to the super high box office on the first day of the new year, the box office trend from the second to the sixth day of the new year is also relatively stable, maintaining a single day at around 500 million yuan, which will also bring the total box office of the Spring Festival file this year (January 27-February 2) to a high point of 3.33 billion yuan, an increase of 8.3% over last year. In 2008, our country’s total box office of the Spring Festival file broke through 100 million for the first time. At that time, there were only 115 million, which was not enough for the single-day box office of "Journey to the West". In 2014, our country’s Spring Festival file broke out, soaring 81%. The box office of the Spring Festival file also broke through the 1 billion yuan mark for the first time, reaching a historic 1.466 billion. Two years later, the box office of the Spring Festival file has jumped from 1.82 billion to 3.08 billion last year.

　

Up to now, our country’s Spring Festival box office has increased for ten consecutive years. During this decade, the total box office of the Spring Festival file has increased by 28 times, which is quite impressive. This year, the Spring Festival file has reached a new level, and the box office has exceeded 3.33 billion in 7 days. There is no doubt that 2017 has also become the strongest Spring Festival file in our country’s film history.

　　His name is Lu Jichun, a 51-year-old food delivery rider from Hangzhou, Hunan Province. He has no father, mother, wife and children, and only delivers food in Hangzhou with three nephews. Late last month, he had an accident while delivering food, which caused brain death.

　　At the last moment, relatives made a difficult decision to donate all his "life-saving organs" – heart, liver, and kidneys. His life began to continue in the four strangers.

　　The operating room suddenly quieted down, leaving only the dripping sound of the vital signs monitor. The shadowless lamp illuminated the 51-year-old Lu Jichun’s face, which was dark, rough, and had obvious color differences on his body, which were traces of sunlight and wind and frost. He lay quietly, as if he was rushing to finish a day of takeout and needed a long rest.

　　This is the final story of his life, and we have recorded them one by one.

　　Last Goodbye

　　Healthcare workers stood in two lines, bowing their heads in silence.

　　"Time of death, [August 7] 8:56," Hu Yinghong, director of the Department of Brain Critical Care Medicine of the Second Zhejiang Medical Hospital, announced.

　　The fresh and warm hope will replace Lu Jichun in a race against time. The cornea is moved into the eye bank, and then, in a few hours, his organs flow to four patients in the next operating rooms –

　　A 61-year-old uremic patient was found to have elevated creatinine for 6 years and hemodialysis for 2 years.

　　A patient with renal insufficiency who started dialysis in November last year was only 32 years old.

　　A 52-year-old aunt, hepatitis B cirrhosis for more than ten years, ascites, lower limb edema made her miserable;

　　A 61-year-old aunt, whose family had planned to give up a heart transplant, finally decided to take a gamble at 9 p.m. on the 6th. "Otherwise, my mother would only have a few months to live," her daughter said in tears.

　　Before being pushed into the operating room, on the morning of the 7th, less than 8 o’clock, more than 20 relatives came to bid farewell to Lu Jichun. There were only a few minutes left to meet. Some people leaned against Lu Jichun’s bed and sobbed; some people called Lao Lu’s name softly, as if exhorting or confiding. A few juniors gathered outside the ward to comfort the elderly.

　　On the afternoon of the 7th, Lu Jichun’s body was cremated at the Hangzhou Funeral Home. At midnight yesterday, the spirit car carried his ashes and rushed to his hometown, Pingcha Town, Hunan, thousands of miles away.

　　The Gift of Life

　　On the evening of July 23, during the evening rush hour, Lu Jichun, who was driving westward on an electric bicycle and rushing to deliver flowers and egg buns, suddenly fell alone on the east motorway at the intersection of Wenyi West Road and Gudun Road, causing severe craniocerebral injury.

　　In addition to three nephews and nieces who delivered food in Hangzhou like Lu Jichun, more than 20 relatives came from their hometown in Hunan and other places. The Lu family consulted brain surgeons in several hospitals, and the final results were disappointing. They visited Lu Jichun every day, talked to him, touched him, "Why did this happen to you?" Tears fell on his arm.

　　From the doctor’s mouth, the family members were persuaded to donate organs. This term, which had been heard before, suddenly came like the bad news of Lu Jichun’s death.

　　Generally speaking, brain-dead patients have higher organ quality than heart-dead patients. This is a gift of life, said Ling Hui, the organ donation coordinator of the International Committee of the Red Cross in Zhejiang Province and the organ tissue acquisition office of the Second Zhejiang Medical Hospital. Subconsciously, the sisters’ hearts skipped a beat. They didn’t want Lu Jichun to suffer more on his last journey.

　　In 2018, China’s organ donation rate of one million people reached 6.8%. This figure is already 226 times higher than in 2010, but it is still in short supply due to technical barriers, traditional concepts, and talent gaps. In the popular sense, people think that donation means lofty; but to some extent, lofty is also a "NIMBY effect": people will praise and respect in their mouth, but make a dash in their heart – it is best for others to complete this lofty. In Ling Hui’s past experience, failure and cold eyes are the norm.

　　Relatives’ decision

　　Lu Jichun’s life was re-examined on the scales. At the age of 51, he had experienced the loss of his father and mother, and he had not even been able to have a marriage and was alone. Because of the short age and long loneliness, it made people feel even more unwilling and worthless at this moment.

　　How does an ordinary person prove that he has lived in the world? Very few people will write books and praise ordinary people. What ordinary people leave behind in the end may be a tombstone, a child, and some photos. Obviously, their names will eventually be erased, and it is very difficult to fight against oblivion.

　　Organ and tissue donation, for now, looks like the best continuation, "as if his eyes are still blinking and his heart is still beating," said Lu Suzhen, the fourth sister, even if she doesn’t know who it is or where she lives.

　　Behind the recipient was a family. The family thought that, to some extent, those families were like Lu Jichun’s "family". Those healthy bodies would replace him and give him the warmth he had never had before.

　　As expected, his niece Chen Xiaodi, who was closest to him, cried the most. Someone said at the top of his voice, "Uncle is dead, can’t you let him be selfish?!"

　　"If he was still sober and knew that his organs could save people, he would have made the same decision," Ms. Lu said, as a family with the same feelings but the opposite ideas reached a hard-won consensus on organ donation.

　　Chen Xiaodi finally said with a hard heart, you decide, I neither support nor oppose it.

　　Ling Hui explained the process, she hid in the next room and couldn’t come out. Vaguely heard inside, Lu Suzhen asked in a trembling voice, "After you take the organs, can you sew them better?" Ling Hui quickly said, "No problem, we will return him to you cleanly."

　　Hu Yinghong said that after a patient’s brain death, if the heart, kidneys, liver, cornea and other organs and tissues are well maintained, the patient and his family can donate organs for transplantation if they are completely voluntary. When the life cycle switches, when healthcare workers bow in silence in front of Lu Jichun’s body, next door, the red light is on "during the operation", the recipient enters the state of anesthesia, and everything is ready.

　　Just as Lu Jichun ran hard for a takeout to be delivered on time, doctors are also people who race against time. There is no obvious watershed between the height of life and the intensity of life.

　　Just like a river hugging another river, one life died, but soon flowed to four other lives. They will replace Lu Jichun and live well.

　　The last takeaway order that was not delivered

　　Another ordinary, non-stop weekday evening peak. On July 23rd, the solar term was hot, and in the evening, the road surface vented the last power of the high temperature, and the sunset and street lamps gradually released brilliance. The takeaway order showed that at 17:33, Lu Jichun clicked on the meal and set off from Luojiazhuang. He was holding a bouquet of flowers for 78 yuan, with bright red roses and snow-white lilies; another egg-packed rice for 40.8 yuan was golden and hot.

　　Four minutes later, Lu Jichun, who was riding an electric bicycle to the west, suddenly fell alone in the east motorway at the intersection of Wenyi West Road and Gudun Road, causing severe craniocerebral injury.

　　He failed to deliver the last takeaway order.

　　This was originally a rushed and ordinary day for him.

　　On July 23rd, in a rented house in Chengzhong Village, west of the city, around 2 am, in the dim, Sun Chen, who was sleeping on the bottom bunk, heard that his uncle was back. Next, the water boiled; the tin foil of the packaging bags and material bags was torn open; the tempting smell of essence and taste nucleotide disodium rose in the air, and Lu Jichun sucked instant noodles.

　　"How was the order today?" Sun Chen asked. Uncle reported a figure of nearly 40. This is not surprising. 38 orders a day – 40 orders, which is the target set by Lu Jichun for himself.

　　Different riders had different levels, from bronze to king, and the level in the game determined the real income of the riders. The level was updated every week, and the only way to improve was to keep receiving orders, plus 1 point for each order, while the knight of the king needed to complete nearly 400 orders within a week. In sharp contrast to the only bonus points, there were various points reduction rules: 3 points for overtime delivery, 5 points for bad reviews, 10 points for cancellation of delivery…

　　Lu Jichun usually left the house at 10 a.m. and stayed busy until one or two in the morning. He had also delivered breakfast, but his body was quickly overwhelmed. During a break before the evening rush hour, he would find time to go home and stir-fry a dish, usually chili fried meat, dig up a large spoonful of hot sauce, and spread out some for the early morning "dinner", and then replace the car with a new battery.

　　The food delivery industry seems to embrace everyone. It doesn’t ask about academic qualifications, gender, just a battery car, a health certificate. It also seems to be a passport to the city. It also means more freedom and income than industrial assembly lines.

　　Lu Jichun’s niece, Chen Xiaodi, first came to Hangzhou to study sewing. At the peak of the afternoon, she also ran takeout to earn extra money. At the beginning of the year, Sun Chen, who was running takeout in Fujian, came to Hangzhou and rented with his uncle. Together with his nephew Chen Yang in Hangzhou, a "takeaway family" of four people was formed.

　　According to platform data, 85% of riders in Hangzhou are from rural areas; 7% of riders are women, many of whom are the backbone of a family.

　　The average age of this group is 29 years old. (Reporter, Huang Xiaoxing, Yu Renfei, Correspondent, Fang Xuwen/Photo)

1905 movie network feature From 2012 to 2022, the director made five films in ten years. He was the most satisfied, the most frustrated, and the most unforgettable collaboration. Jackie Chan’s "hard work" in the action drama made him feel the power of love, which is still unforgettable.

In the same decade, movie fan Jin Long Zhe made an important life decision – to give up his stable job in his hometown and go to Beijing alone. He lived in a 5-square-meter rental house, and his material life was not rich, but as long as he stepped into the theater and saw the changes on the screen, the spiritual world would have its own light.

Since October 5th, the movie channel has launched a special series of documentary reports on "This Decade, Our Film Life". In this episode, we will talk to director Ding Sheng and fan Jin Longzhe to listen to their understanding and love for movies.

Director Ding Sheng

I have made five films in ten years, and I am most satisfied with "Rescue Mr. Wu".

When he was young, Ding Sheng cherished every opportunity to watch movies. He was especially obsessed with action movies and the impact they brought, which he remembered very clearly. Later, from watching movies to making movies, he has been deeply involved in the field of police and bandit action movies in the past ten years.

Of the five films he has made, "Police Story 2013" and "Rescue Mr. Wu" all belong to this genre. He said that he is unwilling to do repeated things, and he likes challenges every time he creates. Challenge success, not arrogant or impatient. Challenge failure, face it calmly.

Before the filming of "Free Mr. Wu" began, Ding Sheng made a bold decision – not to draw split scenes throughout the film, leaving enough room for the main actors to play. The "famous scene" of the film, when the kidnappers forced him to say key information, the kidnappers used wires to strangle him and made him blush, which was the result of the actors improvising.

The script originally did not intend to use wires as props. During the rehearsal, Andy Lau took the initiative to suggest that he was not emotional enough, and it was best to find something to restrain him and keep his face red. So the prop team found a wire at the scene.

The actor who was originally responsible for the scene with Andy Lau was a huge fan of his. Suddenly he was asked to restrain his idol with a wire, but he couldn’t do it. In the first scene of the scene, Andy Lau was very dissatisfied. Later, another actor finally "hit him hard". In a 10-minute long shot, there were two or three minutes in the middle, and Andy Lau’s neck was strangled all the time, the arteries on both sides were stuck, and his face was suddenly swollen.

There was a close-up machine at the scene, which could capture the bloodshot in his eyes. At that time, Ding Sheng wanted to stop, but he was reluctant to give up the actor’s emotions. He still remembered that Andy Lau’s bodyguards kept filming him from behind, meaning, "The director is almost done, so you can’t play like this."

"Free Mr. Wu" has gathered a lot of effort from Ding Sheng, who wrote and directed it himself and was responsible for editing the whole process. Later, the film performed well at major award ceremonies, and Ding Sheng won the Golden Rooster Award for "Best Editing" for this film. "Free Mr. Wu" has become his most satisfactory creation in the past ten years.

Instead, "The True Colors of Heroes 2018," a work he considered to be less successful, was launched without much thought. During filming, he could already feel that "this movie will leave a lot of regrets. I may not have any attempts to remake it in the next ten years."

It has been three years since the release of the last work "SWAT Team", and Ding Sheng has not made a movie for a long time. According to him, the script of "Tough Guy 3" has been written, waiting for an opportunity to start.

In the days when he was not filming, Ding Sheng was a film teacher and was in charge of teaching the second grade at his alma mater, Beijing Film Academy. He always liked to emphasize to his students that making movies requires talent first, and more important than talent is hard work, and more important than hard work is love.

He often uses Jackie Chan as a positive example to share. In "Police Story 2013," Jackie Chan is trapped in a closed cabin and is tied to a large iron chair by the gangster he plays. At that time, the crew thought of many ways to tie it. After seeking fresh effects, Jackie Chan finally suggested that he tie him to the chair with thick wire, and he tried to twist his wrist to break free.

During the filming process, Jackie Chan twisted his wrist again and again, and twisted his skin. The assistant director cried directly from the side. But Jackie Chan still insisted on continuing to shoot in order to keep the scene, rather than dealing with the injury immediately. Ding Sheng has worked with Jackie Chan on three films before and after. He commented that the other party is a gift from God to the film, and Jackie Chan’s love for movies is sincere from the heart.

Looking back on the past ten years, he summed up that "more regrets than successes", but this did not prevent him from persisting in film. He insisted on continuing to challenge problems in this field and enjoying the creative process. Ding Sheng will persevere in his film path and welcome the next decade.

Fan Jin Long Zhe

Collect thousands of ticket stubs, watch movies above all else

Before you know it, Jin Longzhe has been in Beijing for almost a decade. He has never been to the Forbidden City or the Great Wall, but he is as familiar with the China Film Archive as he is at home. As a regular visitor to the film archive, he is also a freelance writer. He likes to stay in the cinema, and his stay is a whole day. At most, he can watch six or seven movies a day, and the annual reading volume is at least 400 +.

About ten years ago, Jin Longzhe was a "young boy" who had just graduated from college. He was introduced to a stable job in his hometown with a good salary, as if it was tailor-made for him. But at the last moment of joining the job, he rejected HR on the grounds that he "wanted to do a job related to movies."

Then he set off on his own journey to the north, interviewing for 40 jobs and finding 20 houses. For a long time, he lived in a room of only 5 square meters. "I don’t feel unhappy. Every time I come back to the small room after watching a movie from the library, I am very happy." Jin Long Zhe said that he likes the moment when the lights are dim and the screen is on. Movies are part of his life.

In order to watch movies, he can choose to leave his hometown, spend most of his work savings on running film festivals and buying movie tickets, and even give up his job for it at one point. Jin Long Zhe mentioned that when he encounters a film festival with a long cycle, if there is a conflict with his working hours, he will choose to quit his job and go to the film festival without hesitation, and then re-employment later.

This kind of behavior will be considered incomprehensible by many people, but in his opinion, if you miss the screening of the film, you may not have the opportunity to see the film again on the big screen for five or ten years. He always felt that "watching movies is above all else."

On one trip to Hong Kong, he only stayed for 17 hours in total. But on the way, he clocked in seven or eight movie locations. He remembered a scene shot at the Canary Restaurant, so he went to the Canary Restaurant for a meal. "To be able to find the filming location of my favorite movie, to be able to stand there in person, it was like walking into a movie. It was a very wonderful, magical and happy thing," Jin Long Zhe recalled. "Maybe this is the state of daydreaming!"

After watching the movie, Jin Long Zhe has the habit of collecting ticket stubs.

Since the beginning, thousands of movie tickets have been saved. The ticket stub is of great significance to him. "It’s a record of watching the movie, and it’s a precious thing. Because it’s basically not reproducible, you can’t copy the ticket stub of the movie on the same day and the same show."

He loved movies for ten years and read countless movies. Jin Long Zhe said bluntly, if he knew himself ten years ago, "I believe he would feel very gratified, let movies occupy the vast majority of his life, and feel very fulfilled and rich…"

As the large-screen version of the P8, Huawei today announced the retail price of the P8Max market, the high-end version (3 + 64G) is 3788 yuan, and it will be officially launched on June 26. It is reported that according to Huawei’s end point strategic plan, it is hoped that the P8 and P8Max will continue the previous hot sales of P7 and Mate7, and open up the high-end market.

A number of market research institutions, including IDC, GFK, Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, and others, have released similar surveys, showing that most consumers prioritize screen size, and the larger the screen size, the better. GfK forecasts that large-screen smartphones above 5.1 inches will become the mainstream in the market in 2015, surpassing 4- to 4.5-inch phones for the first time. IDC’s forecast is more aggressive, saying that phablets with screens above 5.5 inches will become the mainstream in the future, accounting for 36% of all smartphones in 2015.

Therefore, large-screen mobile phones have become a new battlefield for major manufacturers to compete. Huawei’s 2015 global smartphone shipment target is 100 million, focusing on increasing the proportion of mid-to-high-end machines to more than 30%. In the current situation, it is not small for Huawei.

Challenge the limits of high-end large screens

With the popularity of Huawei P7 and Mate7, Huawei mobile phones have grown rapidly in the domestic market in the past year. According to Huawei’s official statistics, the global shipment of P7 has exceeded 7 million, and the global shipment of Huawei Mate7 has exceeded 5 million, of which about 70% comes from the contribution of the Chinese market.

In this regard, Zhu Ping, president of Huawei’s consumer business in China, said in an exclusive interview with Tencent Technology: "The first half of the year in China has been well completed. In addition to the continued popularity of classic products such as Huawei Mate 7, Huawei P8 and P8Max have launched attacks as new high-end product portfolios this year. In particular, the P8Max, a 6.8-inch fashion business large-screen phone, will strive to open up new market segments in the high-end field."

According to him, Huawei’s global shipments of mobile phones in the first half of the year were 50 million. Among them, the Chinese market accounted for 50%, and sales increased by 40% year-on-year.

From a product perspective, P8Max is similar to Mate7, but the target group is different from Mate7. At present, the domestic high-end mobile phone field is still occupied by 4.7 to 6-inch screen phones, Mate7 (6-inch screen) is still within the acceptable large screen range, while P8Max is a larger crossover mobile phone. The 6.8-inch screen is a new attempt in the mid-to-high-end market.

Although this screen size is indeed beyond the norm, and even the line between it and the small-sized tablet is increasingly blurred, Zhu Ping said, "This product is indeed made because the research found that many mid- to high-end users have demand for this type of product."

"Just as the BMW X6 is a crossover product between an SUV and a sedan, the P8 Max is a segment product between a mobile phone and a tablet, focusing on high-end business people," said Yang Zhe, Huawei’s China chief executive, using an analogy to the BMW X6.

At the outset, the Samsung Galaxy Note revolutionized the large-screen market, and countless mobile phone manufacturers launched large-screen products one after another. Now it remains to be seen whether the P8Max can refresh the extra-large screen size.

Strategic transformation of Huawei’s end point

In the face of slowing growth of domestic smartphones, or even the danger of beginning to decline, Huawei’s end point relies on R & D and quality-focused strategy, and has come out of a positive cycle of driving brands with flagship phones and driving sales growth with high-quality models.

"Huawei spends 10 per cent of its annual revenue on R & D and innovation. In 2014, Huawei spent about 39.50 billion-40.50 billion yuan on R & D, an increase of about 28 per cent compared with 2013. In the past 10 years, Huawei’s R & D investment has accumulated to 188 billion yuan," Zhu Ping said.

Previously, some media said that in the past 10 years, Lenovo has invested a total of 4.405 billion US dollars in R & D costs, which is less than Huawei’s R & D expenditure last year. This comparison is enough to illustrate the importance of continued high R & D investment for product quality improvement, especially in Huawei’s self-developed chip Kirin. The continuous maturation of the chip can illustrate this point.

In 2012, Huawei began to transform from a "machine sea strategy" to a "quality-focused strategy". After 2013, Huawei began to cut off the low-end mobile phone business. In mid-2014, Yu Chengdong said again: "Relying solely on operator channels to push ultra-low-end mobile phones in large quantities is doomed to be a road of no return." Huawei P7 and Mate 7 high-end mobile phones were then introduced to the market.

Data show that Huawei’s high-end smartphones accounted for 18% of shipments last year. Among them, Mate 7 has sold more than 5 million units since its launch, and P7 has sold more than 7 million units since its launch.

Zhu Ping revealed to Tencent Technology that in 2015, Huawei continued to focus on high-quality products and broke through the mid- to high-end market, with the goal of increasing the proportion of mid- to high-end machines to more than 30%. This year, more than 20 Huawei service experience halls will be built across the country.

　　The Supreme Court held a press conference not long ago to inform the court of the relevant situation of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers in accordance with the law, and announced 10 typical cases of consumer rights protection, 3 of which were about online shopping. At a time when online shopping is increasingly developed and online shopping disputes are also increasing, it is of great benefit to consumers to understand the Supreme Court’s judgments on typical cases of online shopping and rights protection.

　　Wang Xin v. Xiaomi

　　[Case]

　　On April 8, 2014, the advertisement published by Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Xiaomi) on its official website showed: 10400mAh mobile power supply, special price of 49 yuan for "Rice Noodles Festival". On the same day, Wang Xin ordered the following two mobile power supplies on the website: Xiaomi Metal Mobile Power 10400mAh silver 69 yuan, Xiaomi Mobile Power 5200mAh silver 39 yuan. After Wang Xin submitted the order, he paid 108 yuan to Xiaomi Company through Alipay on the same day. On the 12th of the same month, Wang Xin received the above two mobile power supplies. Afterwards, Wang Xin sued the People’s Court of Haidian District, Beijing on the grounds that Xiaomi had committed price fraud, requesting the cancellation of the online shopping contract. Wang Xin returned two sets of mobile power supplies involved in the case to Xiaomi, and requested Xiaomi to: 1. Compensation for Wang Xin 500 yuan; 2. Refund of Wang Xin’s purchase price of 108 yuan; 3. Pay Wang Xin’s courier fee of 15 yuan; 4. Compensation for Wang Xin’s transportation, printing, and copying fees of 100 yuan.

　　[Judgment]

　　The court of first instance held that the online shopping contract involved in the case was valid, that Xiaomi’s actions did not constitute fraud, and that Wang Xin’s claim was insufficiently substantiated, so the judgment rejected his claim.

　　Wang Xin refused to accept it and appealed to the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court, claiming that Xiaomi had advertised the original price of 69 yuan for the power supply "Rice Noodle Festival" to sell for 49 yuan a week in advance, deceiving consumers to queue up to buy. The advertisement was still there on the day of sale, but the goods were sold for 69 yuan, which constituted price fraud. The 2nd-round Moderation Court held that Wang Xin’s intention to snap up on the day of the "Rice Noodle Festival" because he agreed with Xiaomi’s advertising price of 49 yuan should be 49 yuan. However, from the order details on Xiaomi’s website, it can be seen that Wang Xin placed an order at 14:30 on April 8, 2014, and the price of the 10400mAh mobile power supply in the order was 69 yuan instead of 49 yuan. Xiaomi now acknowledges that there is an error in the display of the activity interface of Xiaomi Mall, and there is an inconsistency between the advertised price and the actual settlement price, but it interprets it as an error in the computer background system. Since Xiaomi did not make a statement to consumers on the Internet about the error in its background after the fact, and it has no evidence to prove that the computer background failed on the day of the "Rice Noodles Festival", the 2nd-round Moderation court found that Xiaomi had the intention to defraud consumers, and Wang Xin’s request for cancellation of the contract was reasonable due to the fraud of the 10400mAh mobile power supply. For the other power supply, both parties agreed to terminate the contract, and the 2nd-round Moderation court granted it. Therefore, the court ruled that Wang Xin should return the above two mobile power supplies to Xiaomi Company according to law, and Xiaomi Company should compensate Wang Xin 500 yuan, refund Wang Xin 108 yuan for the goods, and reject Wang Xin’s other claims.

　　[Comment]

　　If the seller sells goods online with price fraud and induces consumers to buy the goods, even if the quality of the goods is qualified, the consumer has the right to request the seller to "refund one to three" and guarantee compensation.

　　Li Xiaodong v. Jiuxian.com

　　[Case]

　　On August 9, 2012, Li Xiaodong bought 6 bottles of Baijiu sold by Jiuxian.com e-commerce joint stock company (hereinafter referred to as Jiuxian.com) on Taobao. The online product page described it as [Baijiu China Famous Brand 52 Degrees Wuliangye (1618) 500ml Special Price], and the transaction price was 8349 yuan. After the transaction was completed, Li Xiaodong checked the above webpage and found that the Baijiu purchased in Jiuxian.com’s Taobao store won the bidding of the product "special price and original price" equal, so he reported it to the Beijing Price Reporting Center. Afterwards, Li Xiaodong and Jiuxian Company reached a "Understanding Agreement", agreeing that the two parties would complete the return and refund procedures within 5 days after the signing of the agreement. Jiuxian Company compensated Li Xiaodong 8,394 yuan, and if one party breached the contract, it would bear 20% of the total amount of liquidated damages. Because Jiuxian Company failed to fulfill the agreement, Li Xiaodong sued to the People’s Court of Binhai County, Jiangsu Province, requesting Jiuxian Company to compensate 8,394 yuan and bear liquidated damages of 1678.8 yuan.

　　[Judgment]

　　The court under suit held that business operators should follow the principles of voluntary, equal, fair, and good faith when conducting transactions with consumers. In the course of transactions, business operators should provide consumers with true information about the goods and must not make false propaganda. In the course of online transactions in this case, Jiuxian Company misled consumers by selling special goods online. Its behavior constituted fraud and should bear legal responsibility according to law. Li Xiaodong reached an understanding agreement with Jiuxian Company in the process of claiming compensation. Because Jiuxian Company failed to perform its obligations in accordance with the agreement, its behavior constituted a breach of contract and should bear the liability for breach of contract. Therefore, Li Xiaodong’s lawsuit request for Jiuxian Company to perform its compensation obligations in accordance with the agreement complies with the law and should be supported according to law. The court ordered Jiuxian Company to pay Li Xiaodong 8,394 yuan in compensation and 1678.8 yuan in liquidated damages, totaling 10,072.8 yuan. Jiuxian Company did not appeal.

　　[Comment]

　　As a seller, there is fraud in the process of using other people’s networks to sell goods. If the seller reaches a compensation agreement with the consumer after the transaction and fails to fulfill it, the consumer has the right to request the seller to bear compensation liability in accordance with the agreement.

　　Yang Bo v. Express Company

　　[Case]

　　On March 19, 2013, Yang Bo purchased a computer worth 15,123 yuan from Fu Yingchun’s electronic business department in the form of online shopping. After placing the order, the payment and postage of 95 yuan have been paid to Yingchun. On the same day, Fu Yingchun entrusted Wulateqianqi Branch of Bayannaoer Hezhong Yuantong Express Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the courier company) to deliver the goods. The goods arrived at the delivery place on the 24th of the same month and were falsely claimed by others. To this end, Yang Bo repeatedly asked Fu Yingchun to deliver the goods unsuccessfully, and then sued the People’s Court of Wulateqianqi, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, requesting that the courier company and Fu Yingchun compensate 15,123 yuan for the computer payment and 95 yuan for the postage.

　　[Judgment]

　　The court held that Yang Bo purchased goods from Fu Yingchun in the form of online shopping, and paid the payment and postage to Fu Yingchun. Fu Yingchun, as the shipper, entrusted the courier company to deliver the goods to Yang Bo, forming the online shopping contract relationship and the transportation contract relationship respectively. From the perspective of the respective rights and obligations of the parties, in the online shopping contract, Yang Bo has paid the payment and postage through online banking, fulfilled the consumer’s payment obligation, and Fu Yingchun, as the seller, has the obligation to deliver the goods to Yang Bo according to the contract. Although Fu Yingchun has handed over the goods to the courier company for shipment, during the transportation process, the courier company’s staff handed over the goods to others for receipt without verifying the identity information of the other party during delivery. The seller Fu Yingchun has not completed the delivery obligation of the goods, which constitutes a breach of contract. Therefore, Yang Bo’s request for Fu Yingchun to compensate 15,123 yuan for the paid computer payment and 95 yuan for the postage should be supported. According to the principle of relativity of the contract, the contract only binds the parties to the contract. The courier company mistakenly handed over the goods to others, which belongs to the transportation relationship between Fu Yingchun and the courier company. The courier company should not be liable for compensation in this case, so Yang Bo’s request that the courier company should be liable for compensation is not supported. The court ordered Yingchun to compensate Yang Bo 15,123 yuan for the computer payment and 95 yuan for the postage. None of the parties appealed.

　　[Comment]

　　If the consumer claims that the seller and the deliveryman share the liability for compensation for the goods purchased online by others during the delivery process, the seller shall be liable for compensation according to the principle of relativity of the contract.

　　During the National Day holiday, some people choose to go out to play fresh, and some people choose to eat takeout "at home". Is the food safe? Is the kitchen hygienic? Will it be contaminated during delivery? You who order takeout can’t help but have such concerns. There is good news: recently, the Zhejiang Provincial Market Supervision Bureau launched the "Zhejiang takeaway online" digital platform, which is the first in the country to realize the whole chain closed-loop management of online catering from kitchen to table, from processing to delivery, from online to offline, and from merchants to riders. Can the digital platform control the safety of takeaway food? The reporter interviewed this.

　　"Black heart" takeaway nowhere to hide

　　"I saw your back kitchen through the live video broadcast of the takeaway platform, and it is cleaner than I thought." Recently, Liu Feng, who runs takeaway restaurants near Macheng Road, Xixi Street, Xihu District, Hangzhou, received messages from regular customers from time to time. In mid-July, a camera was added to the back kitchen of the store, and the other end of the camera was connected to consumers’ mobile phones.

　　Behind this change is a series of problems. According to statistics, there are currently more than 500 million online takeaway users in our country, and about 8 million takeaway riders. Takeaway catering has played a positive role in ensuring basic people’s livelihood and absorbing social employment. However, due to the long chain and many links, coupled with the emergence of new models and new formats, food safety supervision regulations, standards and means are not yet suitable for the rapid development of takeaway catering. The main responsibilities of platforms and online merchants are not in place, and issues such as food safety and the protection of the rights and interests of takeaway riders are increasingly prominent.

　　How to deal with these problems from the source? Zhejiang has strengthened the supervision of the platform economy with the help of digital means, and promoted the healthier and more standardized development of the online catering industry. Since 2017, Zhejiang has taken the lead in using the "big data capture and analysis system for online ordering monitoring and monitoring of Meituan takeaway, Ele.me and other online ordering platforms. The" Zhejiang takeaway online "launched this time connects all the functions of" Sunshine Kitchen "to Meituan takeaway and Ele.me two takeaway platforms. Consumers can watch the real scene of the merchant’s back kitchen through live broadcast, and the process of food cleaning, processing and production is clear at a glance.

　　"In the governance of online catering, consistent licenses are the bottom line, and food processing safety is the core." Jin Xiang, director of the Internet Supervision Branch of the Zhejiang Provincial Market Supervision Bureau, believes that the reason why "black-hearted" takeout has no fear is because the processing process of the back kitchen is opaque, and consumers cannot supervise it. If the "back kitchen" is no longer "operating in the dark", then consumers can "see clearly, order with confidence, and eat with peace of mind".

　　According to statistics, since the launch of "Zhejiang takeaway online", it has completed the verification of the main information of 293,000 merchants, connected to the sunshine kitchen super 90,000, and promoted the takeaway merchants to promise to use the "takeaway seal" 64,000, and the takeaway merchants promised to use the limited plastic packaging 55,000.

　　"Meituan takeaway will set up a’Sunshine Kitchen ‘special area at the golden booth on the APP homepage, and study preferential policies in terms of cooperation rates, marketing opportunities, traffic display, etc. for merchants with strong capabilities, excellent service, and implementation of bright kitchen and bright stove, and cooperate with supervision in an all-round way," said Ding Dong, Meituan’s chief food safety officer.

　　Riders’ rights are guaranteed

　　For a complete takeaway order, in addition to food processing and production, there is also a delivery link. The takeaway delivery is undertaken by the rider, with one end connected to the platform merchants and the other to the customers. The roles are different, but they pursue the same, that is, fast. For consumers, in the fast-paced work and life, ordering takeout is convenient and fast; for platform merchants, they need to sell more and make more profits, but they also need to be fast; for takeaway riders, they need to pull more and run faster to earn more.

　　"Although all three parties are seeking speed, the delivery riders are in a weak position in the entire chain, and the pressure and exposed problems will also be concentrated on them." Xia Xuemin, an adjunct researcher at the Institute of Public Policy of Zhejiang University, believes that delivery catering has the characteristics of a high degree of platform, strong mobility, and unclear labor relations, which in turn brings problems such as irregular employment and difficult protection of workers’ rights and interests. Under the assessment of the platform algorithm, some delivery staff have to race against time, which brings hidden dangers to traffic safety and their own safety.

　　Previously, the State Regulation for Market Regulation and other seven departments jointly issued opinions, putting forward all-round requirements for protecting the legitimate rights and interests of takeaway riders. In terms of protecting labor income, the platform is required to establish an income distribution mechanism that matches the work tasks and labor intensity, and ensure that the normal labor income of takeaway deliverymen is not lower than the local minimum wage standard. The "strictest algorithm" shall not be used as an assessment requirement, and the assessment factors such as order quantity, on-time rate, and online rate shall be reasonably determined through methods such as "algorithm winning", and the delivery time limit shall be appropriately relaxed.

　　To safeguard the rights and interests of takeaway brothers, we must let the algorithm have rules. Zhang Genming, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Market Supervision Bureau, said that in order to solve the problems of frequent riders speeding traffic violations caused by platform rules and algorithms, the market supervision department combined weather, road conditions, load and other factors to design a set of rider delivery time algorithms, set a reasonable delivery time interval for it, and guide the takeaway platform to optimize and correct the delivery time rules. In addition, the "Zhejiang takeaway online" platform has collected data from multiple departments, found out the file base of takeaway riders, and promoted all parties to fully protect the rights and interests of takeaway riders.

　　"Now, the platform rules are optimized, and there is no need to rush blindly, and many consumers also understand." A Meituan takeaway rider confessed to reporters that traffic violations such as retrograde traffic and running red lights have been greatly reduced recently, and labor intensity has also decreased compared with the past.

　　At present, the "Zhejiang takeaway online" platform has established 353,000 and 923 files of riders and agents respectively, checked the number of riders participating in insurance 235,600, handled 2,371 labor disputes, and fed back 16,700 traffic accident data on the platform.

　　Multi-party co-governance forms a joint force

　　"The focus of strengthening supervision is to promote the sustainable and healthy development of the takeaway industry, rather than restricting its development." Zhang Genming said that in the system design, Zhejiang pays attention to the legal and reasonable use of new technologies, prevents unfair competition, and assumes social responsibility and other hard requirements. At the same time, pay attention to balancing the interests of all parties, and strive to unify the rights, responsibilities and interests of all parties to avoid the phenomenon of "chaos and death".

　　At present, new business models of takeaway are emerging, and some merchants outsource the processing of food ingredients to middlemen such as shared kitchens for processing and production. "At the peak of lunch and dinner, the number of orders surges, which brings challenges to the food supply, and there may be hidden dangers in the production and distribution links." Shi Xiaoming, chairperson of the takeaway professional committee of the China Hotel Association, suggested that the standards and specifications of food procurement, processing, packaging and distribution should be improved, and the responsibilities of merchants and platforms who enter the shared kitchen to carry out food business activities should be defined.

　　In October last year, the China Cuisine Association and others issued the "Sealing Specifications for Catering Takeaway", which encourages takeaway merchants to seal meals by means of seals and buckles to ensure that food is not opened at will during the delivery process. The association also took the lead in organizing and formulating standards such as "Professional Competence Requirements for Catering Operators Based on Internet Tools", encouraging more takeaway companies to participate in the drafting of group standards, and creating a standard model of "understanding at a glance, following what you can do, and measuring with a ruler to the end".

　　Industry experts point out that ensuring the safety of takeaway catering requires the participation of all parties in society. Government departments should constantly innovate supervision methods, do a good job in the whole chain supervision of takeaway catering, fully protect the rights and interests of consumers, and guide the standardized development of the industry; industry associations should issue group standards in a timely manner to make the takeaway catering industry process rule-based; takeaway platforms must implement responsibilities such as qualification review and full-time management, and standardize the business activities of online merchants; catering enterprises should operate in good faith, abide by the law, and continuously improve service quality.

1905 movie network news "Listen to me, buy it!"

　

Hu Ge and Lei Jiayin, the lead actors of He, were guests in the live stream of Internet celebrities to promote the movie and sell tickets.

Rejiasound sumTang WeiBring "The Whistleblower" to interact with netizens live

　

"The Wild Goose Lake" sold as many as 255,000 movie tickets online, courtesy of "Lipstick One" Li Jiaqi.

The Wild Goose Lake crew sells tickets online

In addition to the online roadshow mode of live streaming and selling movie tickets, these two new films are also "the same family" in terms of creation.

　

Needless to say, the stories are all crime themes, and Xiao Dianjun also saw a deeper doorway between them.

After the debut of "The Wild Goose Lake" in Cannes in May this year, many foreign media gave high praise:

　

"This is a vibrant, poetic and unique Chinese film noir"; "Classic film noirs like’You Only Live Once ‘and’Escape at Night’ can’t help but come to mind"; "Suddenly it feels like China is the best place in the world for film noir"…

　

After its domestic release, many viewers, like foreign media, also used a word – "film noir" when evaluating it. And "The Whistleblower" also has a vague "film noir" flavor.

　Douban netizens evaluation

What exactly is "film noir"? Is it black and white? Black humor? Or is the whole story very "dark"?

　

In fact, "film noir" that took root in Hollywood is growing savagely on the Chinese mainland, combining with various different genres to form a new look. How to say it? Xiao Dianjun will popularize it for everyone.

What is "film noir"?　

The term "film noir" was coined by the French in 1946, and French critics noticed a worldwide concentration of films with similar styles and patterns beginning in the early 1940s.

　

These films are often adapted from detective novels, and most of them depict dangerous crime stories in cities, full of gloom, anxiety, despair, horror, and a sense of compassion and destiny.

"Daybreak."andThe Maltese Falcon

　

The French say that Marcel Carney’s "Daybreak" was the first film noir, while Hollywood considers "The Maltese Falcon" to be their first film.

　

But in any case, the well-known emergence of film noir has created a dynamic and explosive golden age in the history of Hollywood cinema.

　

Similarly, in the field of European film, there have also been a series of film noir masterpieces such as this one.

Classic film noir The Third Man

　

So why are these movies called film noir?

　

The screenwriter Paul Schrader has listed seven common features of film noir for everyone, which are also their common techniques:

　

Most of the scenes are set by night.

(Photographic composition) preferring diagonal and vertical lines to horizontal lines;

Provide equal lighting intensity for actors and sets.

The tension of the composition takes precedence over the physical movements of the actors.

An almost Freudian attachment to water;

A preference for romantic narratives.

Frequently use complex chronological sequences to enhance feelings of hopelessness and the passage of time.

　

So much so that, in short, the first five are about visual style, while the last two focus on narrative characteristics.

The shot in "Beauty"

　

Film noir is first and foremost a very intense and highly stylized visual system.

　

In layman’s terms, most of the scenes take place in the city’s empty streets at night or secret meeting places such as stations and docks, and are often accompanied by special weather such as rain and fog.

　

The protagonist often hides in dark shadows, usually strengthening one side of his face with side light, while the other side is always obscured by the shadows of doors, windows, pillars, railings, and other objects.

　

The shooting angle is often tilted and unbalanced, creating a sense of mystery and alluding to the protagonist’s sense of both good and evil and his inner unease.

The year of birth.

　

Before "The Wild Goose Lake", there were a few domestic films that used these iconic visual elements of film noir, including director Xie Fei’s "Birthday Year", Zhang Yibai’s, Ning Hao’s, and Diao Yinan’s.

Director Diao Yinan has always insisted on transplanting Western noir films to China. Although he currently has only four directorial works, the visual temperament of noir films is stronger than ever.

In "Fireworks by Day", the northeastern towns are under continuous rain and snow, and the streets are dim, with contrasting lighting, forming a very cold and oppressive atmosphere.

The Wild Goose Lake is the culmination of his film noir style.

　

It is understood that the film has a total of 106 scenes, 71 of which are night scenes, accounting for 80% of the entire film.

　

During the humid rainy season in Wuhan, Zhou Zenong, played by Hu Ge, ran from the station to the narrow alley and fled all the way, flashing with rain.

Movies also use shadows to make a big fuss.

The camera will take pictures of the body reflections of Hu Ge and Gui Lunmei on the wall.

From time to time, their faces would be obscured by shadows, flickering.

When they were in the showroom, the multi-faceted mirrors seemed to be inspired by film noir.

Hu Ge and Gui Lunmei around the mirror

"Miss Shanghai" classic scene

According to these visual standards, "The Wild Goose Lake" can really be called the first typical film noir style in the Chinese mainland.

Can’t live without "femme fatale"!

　

If there were no "femme fatale", it would not be a film noir.

　

The female protagonists in the film noir are both beautiful and intelligent, but also as active and strong as men. They are mysterious and always fascinate the male protagonist and follow them around.

　

They will quietly emerge from the shadows in gorgeous evening gowns, revealing their thighs; they will carry out secret operations with guns and cigarette packs. Their faces and guns are enough to "kill".

Classic film noir"Beyond the Vortex"

　

Simply put, they are "scheming" people.

　

If you are not familiar with the film noir of the last century, you must have seen this scene of Rebecca Ferguson there. This is also a film full of retro vibes of film noir.

Mission Impossible 5

　

The women in film noir are usually at the heart of a conspiracy.

　

They only care about themselves and will obtain money and benefits through improper means, often at the cost of death or submission.

　

The male protagonists are mostly tough detectives or policemen, and they will have some obsessive-compulsive disorder. Under the temptation of "femme fatale", they are deeply involved in an unsolvable case, fighting for one thing to the end, and may not understand what happened until the end.

"Chinatown."

　

Film scholar Jan D’Amico once summarized the emotional relationship and plot development of the male and female protagonists in film noir:

　

"Whether a man is destined to act by chance, or because he is employed by a man to deal with a woman, their life experiences fill them with blood and pain at times. When he meets this woman who is not innocent and has the same outlook on life, he is sexually attracted to her, and he is doomed…"

　

So, aren’t "The Wild Goose Lake" and "The Whistleblower" just like that?

　

The characters and fates of the male and female protagonists all conform to the above-mentioned film noir narrative routines, which are simply the same.

Zhou Zenong’s wild and vicissitudes of life, and his taciturn chivalrous temperament is like coming from Melville’s film noir. In the film, he is destined to have only one cause or ultimate purpose – to leave a bounty to his wife while fleeing.

　

But in the process, he meets Liu Aiai, the "swimming girl" played by Gui Lunmei. Liu Aiai is both his helper, attracting him, and "betraying" him, which brings him to the end.

"Femme Fatale" is also often the target of male investigators in film noir, becoming the key to solving crimes. This is the relationship between Liao Fan and Gui Lunmei in the film.

In "The Whistleblower", Lei Jiayin plays Ma Ke, who was originally a winner with a successful career and a happy family. When he met his ex-girlfriend Tang Wei, he began to get confused and suffer a bad luck.

Tang Wei brought him from Australia to Africa, causing him not only to be hunted down by killers, but also to face the situation of his wife being separated.

Even though she was so confused that she didn’t know the truth of the case, Lei Jiayin still followed her to the end of the world like a "big silly boy".

On the way, Tang Wei ruthlessly betrayed Lei Jiayin for his life-saving money, and the "selfishness" of "femme fatale" was on full display.

　

Although "The Whistleblower" is unlike "The Wild Goose Lake", it does not have any shadow of film noir in terms of screen styling, but the overall characterization and plot mode are written in full accordance with the template of film noir.

The two male protagonists played by Hu Ge and Lei Jiayin also have something in common. They both have the moral ambiguity of male characters in film noir, but they have a sense of justice.

Zhou Zenong is the small leader of the theft gang, and Ma Ke is the "scum" who cheated on his ex, but in the end, they all became "heroes" in a sense:

　

Zhou Zenong goes to great lengths for the happiness of his wife in the second half of her life and pays for love; Ma Ke bravely reports the trade conspiracy and corruption of overseas companies, becoming an unsung hero who saves a city.

　

"Film noir" is growing savagely in the mainland

　

Film noir was born during World War II and the Cold War, a time when the American dream was falling apart and society was rife with insecurity.

　

After that, from "Chinatown" to the emergence of new film noir, it has given more new connotations and new styles, but the essence remains the same.

Neon color

　

When film noir arrived in China from the Western world, many changes took place.

　

From "Fireworks in the Day" to "The Wild Goose Lake", especially the latter, there are a large number of street scenes, squares, archways, motorcycles that are unique to China…. The neon lights of the city at night are combined with the special scenery on the edge of China’s urban and rural areas to form a unique and beautiful heterotopian world, full of charm.

Traditional film noir often has a "misogynistic" stance, and the image of "femme fatale" is very rigid and symbolic, but in "Southern Station" and "The Whistleblower", both Gui Lunmei and Tang Wei have atypical female images of film noir.

Guilun magnesium has a tan, freckles on her face, and her body is completely shriveled and weak.

Tang Wei’s overall style is simple and capable, and most of the time it is not sexy on the screen. Only when he meets Lei Jiayin for the first time and escapes for the first time, it shows a bit of beauty.

　

In addition to their appearance, these female characters are also brighter and warmer. They all complete their self-redemption by reversing at the end of the credits.

The visual and narrative elements of film noir are also gradually merging with domestic genre films to create new forms.

　

In "Southern Railway Station," Hu Ge’s characters and action scenes are designed along the lines of martial arts films, and the larger narrative theme of "The Whistleblower" is the mainstream melody with Chinese characteristics.

"Crazy Stone"

　

Ning Hao’s "Crazy" series introduces black texture into local humorous comedies, and also pays more attention to the little people at the bottom; Guan Hu uses absurd fables to express black themes; Cao Baoping creates a black suspense spirit in the context of social reality.

"The Sun Is Burning Heart"　

"I have always been interested in the changing human nature of film noir," said Mr. Diao, who believes that film noir allows directors to think about society and humanity, and that China’s development has provided a natural soil for the creation of film noir.

　

Using the mode of film noir, we can produce works that are both interesting and expressed by the author. This genre is also broadening the development space for domestic art films.

There is a cloud made of rain in the wind.

　

"Fireworks in the Day" earned over 100 million at the box office that year, breaking the curse of the dismal box office of the literary film theater chain and becoming the highest-grossing literary film at that time. With the help of film noir and a cast of stars, Lou Ye successively shot "Clouds Made of Rain in the Wind" and entered the public eye.

The Lyceum.

　

As the aesthetics of domestic audiences become more diverse, the overall market and film industry become more mature, and film noir also provides a stage for new directors to enter the commercial mainstream.

"Violent Silence" is everywhere. Among them, the story of "Earth" is a typological framework of the detective and the "femme fatale" falling in love, which Bi Gan also described as a romantic "black fairy tale".

No matter what the outcome of this film is, it is precisely because the story of film noir is inherently commercial, and with the help of the late "New Year’s Eve" marketing promotion, it can quickly ferment at that time and directly attract the general public to the cinema.

"The Last Night on Earth"

　

Film noir stimulates the imagination of film and creates infinite possibilities. It is both genre and art; both commercial and author; both mainstream and independent, which can open up the "two veins" of film creation.

　

As Shen Qian, the producer of "The Wild Goose Lake", observed and judged: film noir may be the trend of Chinese film in the next few years, not only because of the industry ecology, but also because this type of film happens to be an effective bridge between the author’s expression and the market.

　　A few days ago, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages issued the "Notice on Not Allowing Disposable Tableware and Lunch Boxes to Enter the Campus", which caused a heated discussion on the Internet. The notice said that starting from November this year, in order to strengthen the food safety management of students, the school will ban takeaway, disposable lunch boxes and plastic bags from entering the dormitory.

　　As soon as the notice was released, it immediately triggered a heated discussion on the Internet, and there were many different voices on campus. Some students believed that the school cafeteria had problems such as crowded space and long waiting time for meals, which could not meet normal dining needs. Prohibiting takeout and packing boxes into the dormitory would bring inconvenience to study and life. Some students said that everyone was used to ordering takeout, and it was difficult for the school to control it.

　　The school said in a statement released later that the move was mainly due to considerations such as environmental protection, food safety and school teaching order. The food safety of takeaway food is not under the supervision of the school, and some food that does not meet the hygiene standards flows into the school with takeaway food, posing a threat to the health of students. At the same time, small vendors carry takeaway food in and out of the campus at any time, which not only affects the teaching order of the school, but also is not conducive to the establishment of a good school ethos.

　　It is understood that in recent years, campus food delivery has developed rapidly, and various conveniences and preferential conditions have attracted a large number of students. At the same time, there are also many hidden dangers in the delivery of food into the campus. School administrators are very troubled by the news that students have food poisoning after eating food delivery and the theft of food delivery staff.

　　In fact, before Guangxi Institute of Foreign Languages issued the notice, some institutions such as Jiangxi Nanchang Institute of Technology had already issued relevant regulations on the management of takeaway food, and everyone had mixed opinions on this move. How to standardize the management of takeaway food into the campus and balance the interests of all parties still needs to be explored.

　　■ Collision

　　Blindly prohibiting will be more "blocking"

　　I have been ordering takeout for lunch and dinner since I was an undergraduate. At that time, the takeout industry was highly competitive and there were many discounts, which could satisfy our demand for delicious food at lower prices. Now suddenly banning takeout from campus is "adding to the blockage" of students. What’s more, as long as the convenience that takeout brings to students still exists, it is difficult to ban it. If it is violently stopped, the merchant may continue to operate in a covert way, so the potential hidden dangers are still difficult to eliminate, but it increases the difficulty of management.

　　2017 graduate student of Guangxi University of Arts, Wang Hengyu

　　Campus ban on takeout is legally binding

　　From a legal point of view, universities and some private communities have the right to establish some rules and regulations to prohibit outsiders and food from entering their management scope, which does not restrict the freedom of students and residents. Especially when it comes to food safety, environmental protection and other matters related to personal and property safety, relevant schools and communities have the right to take necessary measures to protect them. Schools have the responsibility to ensure the safety of their personal and property for students in school. If they agree to food safety items entering the campus, and students have accidents on campus, then the school will be legally responsible for certain mismanagement. Therefore, there is a certain reason why the school does not allow takeaway into the campus.

　　Pang Caiyou, Director of Beijing Shangheng (Nanning) Law Firm

　　The takeout chaos should have been controlled long ago

　　As a parent, I support the school’s regulation of takeaway food. Parents are worried not only about safety, but also about the health of their children. Many takeaway foods are not guaranteed to be healthy even if they are safe. Due to cost considerations, the quality of the ingredients selected by some merchants cannot be guaranteed, which will affect physical health. Moreover, children’s studies are not so stressful that they don’t have time to eat. Most of them want to be lazy. From a certain perspective, takeaway helps children develop bad habits. The takeaway chaos should have been controlled long ago!

　　Ms. Wang, Parent of University of Science and Technology of China Class of 2017

　　The school should not ban it

　　I have seen a lot of "complain" about college cafeterias on the Internet, and I have experienced it myself, such as the food is unpalatable, expensive, and unhygienic. In my opinion, it is inappropriate and unacceptable for schools to adopt a "one-size-fits-all" management method to ban takeout from entering campuses. If schools really start from the perspective of students, solving the campus safety problems caused by takeout should start from two aspects: improving the quality of cafeterias and standardizing the management of takeout personnel entering campuses.

　　Wang Jian, a citizen of Changsha, Hunan

　　Campus ban on takeout is understandable

　　From the perspective of campus management, it is understandable to ban takeout and packaging boxes from entering the campus. Some institutions have formulated this regulation to strengthen food safety management. At the same time, from the perspective of campus-wide environmental hygiene management, it is necessary to ban takeout. Schools, as the responsible person for the safety of students’ lives and property, are responsible for the personal safety of students during school. It is understandable to take measures to eliminate hidden dangers before finding more effective management methods.
