In the history of Chinese-language gangster movies, which one is most like the gangster classic "Once Upon a Time in America"? Is it John To’s "Gunfire" or "The Underworld"? Or John Woo’s "The True Color of Heroes"?

If you want to talk about the character setting and growth experience, the master director Hou Hsiao-hsien, directed by Xu Xiaoming, the Taiwanese film "Youth, Peace!" The charm and context can be called the Chinese version of "American Past"!

The latest good news is that this movie, which is "legendary" to many fans, is finally going to be digitally restored and re-released. This should be a big event worth telling among Chinese fans!

This film, released in 1992, was produced by Hou Hsiao-hsien and produced by Zhang Huakun, so almost all the actors in the film were related to Hou Hsiao-hsien.

Starring as Big Brother Gao Jie, Hou Hsiao Xian’s royal actor, he was born with a magical power to play the underworld big brother. Gao Jie was only 34 years old at the time.

The actress Wei Xiaohui made her mark in the Taiwanese film industry from this film, and then starred in Hou Hsiao-hsien’s "Good Men and Good Women" and "South Country, Goodbye South Country", but after her role in "Flowers on the Sea", she stopped being an actress.

One of the male protagonists, Yan Zhengguo, Hou Xiaoxian’s royal child star, turned 18 after the film was filmed, but disappeared from the film industry.

It turned out that Yan Zhengguo later fell into drug abuse and committed a felony and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. After his release from prison, he reformed, re-entered the film industry as an actor, and became a director with a box office of over 100 million in 2018 with "Corner 2: The King Rises Again".

And Big Brother Gao Jie happens to be an important figure in the universe of "Corner Head".

"Young Man, Calm Down!" was the last film of actor Tan Zhigang’s life, and he was only 17 when he made it.

Speaking of Tan Zhigang, it really makes people feel sorry.

At the age of 13, when "Guling Street Youth Murder" recruited young actors, Tan Zhigang, who had experience in children’s programming on TV, went to audition for the role of Kitten King. Yang Dechang preferred him to play Kitten King. But the preparation period for the movie was too long, so Tan Zhigang went to shoot other movies first.

"Middle School Girls"

The winter vacation is long enough.

At the age of 15, his family was going to take Tan Zhigang to immigrate to the United States, but he still thought about "Guling Street", so he stayed in Taiwan to shoot "Guling Street" and run a karaoke bar. When he came to Yang Dechang again, because it had been more than two years and he had grown a lot taller, Yang Dechang had to replace Wang Qizan to play Kitten King, and Tan Zhigang played another very important role – Pony.

Tan Zhigang performed with Zhang Zhen that year.

In 1991, Hou Hsiao-hsien’s production of "Youth, Peace!" was looking for actors. Hou Hsiao-hsien and director Xu Xiaoming met Tan Zhigang with a mixed-race face at the test film of "Guling Street", and customized the role of "Youth, Peace!" for Tan Zhigang "Adou Zai".

Tan Zhigang and Aunt Chen Shufang played opposite each other in "Youth, Peace!" at that time, Aunt Shufang was only in her early 50s.

Chen Shufang became a box office actress in Taiwan last year at the age of more than 80 with "Lonely Flavor" and "Dear Tenant". "Lonely Flavor" is the box office champion in Taiwan.

In 1992, "Youth, Peace!" was released, and Tan Zhigang was about to leave for the United States. However, "Youth, Peace!" was planning a sequel, and Tan Zhigang stayed in Taiwan to wait for the filming to start. On September 4, 1993, Tan Zhigang and his friends went camping in the mountains and encountered a car with a flat tire. Tan Zhigang and his friend Liu Zhimin drove a car down the mountain to ask for help, but when they turned the corner, the car fell into a 100-meter deep valley. Tan Zhigang died on the spot. When he died, he was just 18 years old and a month old.

If there are so many "ifs" in the world, what would happen if Tan Zhigang didn’t die and went to the United States to study movies?

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world. The restoration of "Young Man, Peace!" is the best memorial to Tan Zhigang.

In addition to the movie classic, the original sound of the music is also a milestone. It is the first film in Taiwan to use rock music as the soundtrack of the whole film.

That year, 24-year-old Wu Junlin (Wu Bai) sang the theme song of the same name and "Lighting Cigarettes" in "Youth, Peace!"

This is Wu Bai’s first time in the original sound of the film, even before his first solo album "Falling in love with others is a happy thing".

Wu Bai was also invited to participate in the ceremony of the restoration and launch of "Youth, Peace!".

"Youth, Peace!" is also the first film that the famous Taiwanese film composer Lin Qiang collaborated with Hou Hsiao-hsien, even a year earlier than his first appearance in Hou Hsiao-hsien’s film "Dream Life".

Lin Qiang sang three songs in the original soundtrack, including "The Silent Place" with Hou Xiaoxian. This song composed by Wu Bai later became a famous song when Wu Bai took it and sang it.

Lin Qiang’s first album "Going Forward" in 1990 is a landmark work in the history of Hokkien rock.

Lin Qiang met Hou Xiaoxian, who came to visit the class, when he was shooting the MV of the "Go Forward" album. The two hit it off and began their cooperation for many years.

It is well known that director Hou Hsiao-hsien can sing two voices, so in "Young Man, Peace!" he also sang a song "Dream Man" by himself.

There is also a band called Baboo in the original sound, which is composed of Lin Weizhe, Li Xinyun, Li Shouxin and Jin Muyi.

Lin later became a famous rock producer and music company owner (manager). These days, Wu Qingfeng’s choking incident is caused by Lin Weizhe and Wu Qingfeng’s copyright lawsuit (Qingfeng finally won, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief). Li Xinyun later became a pop music and film and television soundtrack, and was the winner of the Golden Melody Award and the Golden Horse Award. Li Shouxin is now the top drummer of Chinese pop music, especially jazz drums. Bass player Jin Muyi is from Japan, and later became active in the Chinese pop music circle. He and Fan Xiaoxuan Zhou Junwei formed the Fu Lushou group.

"Youth, Peace!" is the first feature-length work directed by Xu Xiaoming, who also made "Last Winter" in 1995, starring Wei Xiaohui and Xi Xiang. This Xu Xiaoming is not the Hong Kong director Xu Xiaoming.

In 1997, Director Xu Xiaoming’s "Looking Home" won several international awards.

Xu Xiaoming has since supervised the production of a number of well-known Chinese-language films, such as "Seventeen-Year-Old Bike," "Love You and Love Me," "Blue Door," and "Love in May," starring Liu Yifei and Chen Bolin in 2004, is his most recent feature film.

After "Love in May", Xu Xiaoming worked in films in mainland China, and was the producer of several Chinese business cards, such as "Second Brother", "Court on Horseback", "Rizhao Chongqing", "My Tang Dynasty Brothers", "Summer Unspeakable" and so on. In the 2020 hit documentary "Stick! Youth", Xu Xiaoming served as the editing director of the film together with Liao Qingsong and Zhou Qiang.

"Young Man, Peace!" was produced by Mr. Zhang Huakun, known as "Brother Kun," who was also the producer of Hou Hsiao-hsien’s early and mid-term films, including the most important and best-known "Sad City," "Childhood Past," "People from the Air Cabinet," "Love the Wind and Dust." Zhang Huakun died in December 2020 at the age of 67.

Zhang Huakun discovered and led Gao Jie to debut from "Daughter of the Nile".

Looking forward to the early restoration of this movie!

　　Recently, John Woo’s new film "Sword Rain" has another accident. The trailer originally scheduled to be released on July 22 to meet the audience was leaked in advance. What is even more surprising is that there is no star in "Sword Rain" and a scene in the film, but the predictive effect is extraordinary. According to the information in the film, Woo’s first martial arts masterpiece "Sword Rain" will appear at the Venice International Film Festival in September this year, and the global release of the film is scheduled for September 28.

　　The production staff revealed that the "Sword Rain" preview trailer previously circulated on the Internet is not the official version. The trailer to be screened in theaters with "Tangshan Earthquake" on July 22 is the first official trailer for "Sword Rain". The trailer lasts only 29 seconds. Although there is no character or scene in the film, the audio-visual effect is absolutely shocking and full of suspense. The background of ink painting is full of the artistic conception of traditional Chinese culture, and the traditional subtitles are even more retro. With the sound of metal friction of swords and swords, the charm of Chinese martial arts cannot help but be born. The combination of Zhongruan and two guzheng forms the melody of the entire trailer, and the three drums are mixed to form a rhythm from slow to fast, which is in line with the rhythm, and turns people’s emotions down. The sharp high-frequency sound effects of the flute and the strange wolf roar and human voice make people feel more and more nervous and frightened, fully expressing the subtlety of the suspense of "Sword Rain", indicating that a war is coming.

　　Judging from the effect of this trailer, the momentum of "Sword Rain" is no small matter, and Woo’s first martial arts suspense will once again shock the Chinese-language film market. The film’s distributor also released a lofty statement: "This pure subtitle trailer itself is a rare situation, and we dare to try it because we believe that Woo’s concept is undefeated, and there are no characters to create a kind of suspense. Choosing the" Tangshan Earthquake "patch is because we value their box office influence. On the other hand, we don’t modestly say that only" Tangshan Earthquake "can be compared with the scale of" Sword Rain "."

1905 movie network news The Academy Award-winning film recently released the MV of the theme song "Gray Stardust". The heartfelt lyrics and touching tunes tell the warmth of the "Wandering Family", which makes people move and cry. The movie "Mai Passerby" is produced by Zheng Baorui and directed by newly-minted director Huang Qingxun. It stars Guo Fucheng and Yang Qianmian. Wan Ziliang, Zhang Daming, Bao Qijing, Liu Yasse, Gu Dingxuan, Huang Yuejia and other acting schools join in. It will be released on September 17.

The film had 6 consecutive screenings at the Film Festival, 10 nominations for the Academy Awards, and 3 screenings at the North Film Festival sold out in seconds. The praise was continuous, and netizens called out: Sincere and moving, full of emotions, and praise for Mr. Jin Peida’s soundtrack, which laid the tone of the film very well.

In the MV of "Grey Stardust" released this time, there is a lot of emotion. A Bo (Guo Fucheng, played) is ashamed of his mother and sister due to bankruptcy, which makes him homeless on the streets and unable to return home. He sleeps in a 24-hour fast food restaurant and cannot meet his mother who misses him very much. Despite this, A Bo still maintains his hope for life, and forms a "wandering family" with singer Jane (Miriam Yang, played), single mother (Yasser Liu), rebellious teenager Shenzai (Gu Dingxuan, played), waiting uncle (Wan Ziliang, played), and saliva Xiang (Zhang Daming, played). They grow together, share difficulties, and ignite the hope of life.

Many movie fans admit that no matter which character they are, they can find a strong emotional resonance in it, deeply moved by the content of the story, and every emotional point makes people cry. It is really a movie with deep intention but emotional restraint, capable of crossing regions and time and space, feeling love and healing, worthy of deep thought and repeated viewing, suitable for all ages to watch.

　As a work of realism, the film "Mai Passerby" is based on true stories and groups, and focuses on the issue of caring for society and people’s livelihood that Chinese movies rarely dabble in. It tells the story of "little people" with different identities who meet and know each other at a 24-hour fast food restaurant. They have no blood relationship but "sympathize with each other." They help each other in the face of life’s difficulties and lack of material conditions. They still carry dreams and enthusiasm, are not timid or cowardly, work hard to live, find the most suitable way to self-transition and self-harmony, and embrace love and the future.

In the screening of "Mai Passerby" at the 10th Beijing International Film Festival, the film’s delicate and moving emotions also deeply moved the audience at the scene, "the human touch and fireworks are in place", "the warmth is glimpsed in the broken one", in the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards, Zhang Daming won the Best Supporting Actor Award for his saliva, and the film "Mai Passerby" was also nominated for nine awards, and was successfully shortlisted for the world premiere of the "Asian Future" section of the 32nd Tokyo International Film Festival. It has also been invited to serve as the closing film of many film festivals such as the London East Asia Film Festival, the Macau International Film Festival, and the Asian Leap Film Festival.

The actor Guo Fucheng won the "Best Actor" in one fell swoop with the unanimous approval of the jury of the London East Asian Film Festival. In the screening section of the 23rd Shanghai International Film Festival, "Mai Passerby" was screened six times in a row, with rave reviews, and the audience praised the actors’ acting skills. "The group portrait drama is very good, and the acting skills of all the staff burst. This is the best Guo Fucheng ever."

　　Our reporter, Li Xiaohong

　　In 2023, with the in-depth implementation of the strategy of Digital China and Network Power, our country’s digital economy will be fully developed and develop rapidly. The digital economy has become a stabilizer, accelerator and multiplier for China’s economic and social development, and the greatest certainty to deal with uncertainty.

　　Experts interviewed by China Economic Times reporters believe that in 2023, our country’s digital development will continue to maintain a strong momentum, digital technology innovation will change with each passing day, the breadth of digital and real integration will continue to expand, and the development of digital economy industrial clusters will accelerate.

　　The digital economy is gaining momentum

　　"In recent years, our country has attached great importance to the development of the digital economy, continuously promoted digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, and created a digital industrial cluster with international competitiveness," Ding Minglei, a researcher at the China Academy of Science and Technology Development Strategy, said in an interview with China Economic Times reporters.

　　The latest data has witnessed the rapid development of our country’s digital economy. According to data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, the scale of our country’s digital economy will reach 50.20 trillion yuan in 2022, an increase of 10.3% year-on-year. The proportion of digital economy in GDP is equivalent to the proportion of the secondary industry in the national economy, reaching 41.5%. It is expected that the scale of our country’s digital economy will reach 56.10 trillion yuan in 2023 and 70.80 trillion yuan in 2025. At the same time, the application of new technologies represented by digital technology will promote the transformation and upgrading of thousands of industries. The role of digital economy in amplifying, superimposing and multiplying our country’s economic development is prominent, injecting new momentum into the high-quality development of China’s economy. As of September 2023, there were more than 530,000 companies operating in digital technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence.

　　Wang Lei, a researcher at the China Academy of Macroeconomics, told the China Economic Times reporter that in 2023, the development of our country’s digital economy will be full of bright spots. First, the new digital infrastructure will continue to be consolidated. 5G, gigabit fiber broadband, industrial Internet, artificial intelligence and other digital new infrastructure will be deployed to accelerate the deployment, and the world’s largest, technologically advanced and superior digital new infrastructure system will be basically built, and the overall capacity will be leapfrogged.

　　The second is the continuous strengthening of digital science and technology innovation capabilities. The innovation-driven development strategy has been deeply implemented, the main body of digital science and technology innovation has accelerated growth, the achievements of digital science and technology innovation have continued to emerge, the level of digital technology self-reliance and self-improvement has been improved, and the ranks of the world’s most innovative countries have been accelerated. Third, the strength of digital industry clusters has been steadily improved. The integration of digital technology and the real economy has continued to accelerate, key digital industries have continued to grow, the multiplier effect of digital technology empowering thousands of industries has continued to appear, the traction role of digital consumption has been continuously consolidated, and the comprehensive competitiveness of digital industry clusters in our country

　　Breakthrough development in artificial intelligence

　　"In 2023, with the support of massive data resources, advanced computing power infrastructure, rich application scenarios, and high R & D investment, our country’s new generation of artificial intelligence has achieved remarkable results in technological innovation, industrial ecology, and integrated applications, and has entered the first echelon in the world," Wang Lei said.

　　MIIT data shows that from January to October, artificial intelligence and other digital emerging industries are booming, the scale of artificial intelligence core industries has reached 500 billion yuan, and the number of enterprises has exceeded 4,300, which has injected new impetus into the construction of a more complete and competitive digital economy industry ecosystem in our country.

　　It is worth noting that in 2023, generative artificial intelligence represented by large models will achieve breakthrough development and become the new commanding heights of current technological and industrial competition in various countries.

　　It is understood that our country’s innovative achievements in intelligent chips, development frameworks, general models, etc., Huawei, Inspur Information, Sim Computing, Biren Technology, Moore Thread and other chip companies have launched chip acceleration cards for AI inference and training tasks in different scenarios, involving CPU, GPU, RISC-V and other different design architectures; MindSpore, Paddle-Paddle, SenseTime Technology SenseParrots, Tencent TNN, Ali MNN, ByteDance BytePS, Megvii MegEngine, Xiaomi Mace and other domestic artificial intelligence development frameworks and application ecosystems to achieve rapid development, Paddle developers have exceeded 8 million; Baidu ERNIE Bot, Alibaba Cloud Tongyi Qianwen Huawei Pangu, iFLYTEK Spark and other 11 large model products have passed the record.

　　"Artificial intelligence, represented by the big model, is accelerating its deep integration with the real economy, empowering thousands of industries, giving birth to new business models of the digital economy, and showing a strong’head goose ‘effect. Healthcare, education, finance, transportation, manufacturing, energy and other fields have become the most active areas of commercial application of artificial intelligence technology." Wang Lei said that by improving the quality of social public services and enhancing the efficiency of social governance, artificial intelligence continuously meets the needs of the people for a better life, and enhances the people’s sense of gain and happiness.

　　In Ding Minglei’s opinion, artificial intelligence has become an important driving force for technological innovation, industrial upgrading and productivity improvement, and it is increasingly integrated into the whole process of economic and social development, which has a significant and far-reaching impact on economic development and social progress.

　　The digital economy continues to empower

　　"Developing the digital economy is a strategic choice to grasp new opportunities in a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation. Deepening the innovative application of digital technology and continuously spawning new industries, new business models and new models is an important breakthrough point for making China’s digital economy bigger, better and stronger," Ding Minglei said.

　　Looking to the future, Ding Minglei believes that the digital economy will unleash greater potential for China’s economic and social development. A series of new "Internet +" economic formats have been born one after another. Cloud computing and industrial Internet have become important driving forces for the digital transformation of enterprises. Large-scale Internet platform enterprises continue to empower the real economy through technologies such as the Internet, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence; digital consumption continues to release the potential of residents’ demand; digital technology has also largely freed themselves from time and space restrictions, and the development of new trade models such as digital trade has smoothed the domestic and international economic cycle.

　　"In order to maximize the empowering effect of digital economic innovation and promote high-quality economic development, the next step should be to accelerate the implementation of top-level design, optimize the business environment of the digital economy, and stimulate and protect entrepreneurship." Wang Lei said.

　　In Ding Minglei’s view, to accelerate the empowering role of digital technology in economic development, one is to accelerate the promotion of digital industrialization and industrial digitalization, especially to realize the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy, and further release the digital dividend and build a modern economic system.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 5?Topic: Making up for shortcomings and strengthening norms – multi-departments accelerate the support of "umbrella companies" for new business workers

Xinhua News Agency reporters Jiang Lin and Liu Weiwei

During the May Day holiday, Qi Jianzhong, a Meituan delivery rider in Nanjing, was both busy and down-to-earth. "With occupational injury protection, I feel much more at ease. Otherwise, I really don’t know who to call if I get injured."

In December 2023, Qi Jianzhong accidentally fell and broke his bone while delivering food. With the help of Meituan staff, he used his mobile phone to declare occupational injury protection, and about 1,000 yuan of medical expenses were reimbursed 875 yuan. After the disability identification, at the end of January 2024, he received a one-time disability subsidy of 41,900 yuan issued by the human resources and social security department.

Qi Jianzhong told reporters that he has been a rider for six years, and his income is good and his time is flexible. But bumps are inevitable in the rush, especially in bad weather, and his family always worries. "Occupational injury protection is like adding a layer of’protective net ‘, so after four months of recuperation and recovery, I came back to deliver food."

The occupational injury insurance that Qi Jianzhong said is a new type of work-related injury insurance created by the state for workers in new employment forms. The platform enterprise pays the fee, and the individual employed person does not pay the fee. The scope and circumstances of its protection, the standard and level of treatment, are basically consistent with work-related injury insurance.

Since July 2022, the new employment form of occupational injury protection for employed persons has been piloted in 7 platform enterprises including Meituan, Ele.me, Flash, Lalamove, and Cao Cao Travel in 7 provinces and cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Guangdong. As of the end of March 2024, 8.017 million people have been included in the scope of protection.

"Occupational injury protection effectively protects the rights and interests of employees in the new employment form, especially the basic living standards guarantee function of major casualty accidents. This system also disperses the business risks of platform enterprises and helps the platform economy develop in a standardized and healthy way," said Zheng Xuanbo, director of the work injury insurance department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

Zheng Xuanbo introduced that how to participate in social insurance for the emerging group of new employment forms, the pilot has solved the problem and accumulated valuable experience. The next step will be to summarize experience and study to expand the scope of implementation.

The reporter noticed that on the website of the national social insurance public service platform, a special occupational injury protection service section has been set up, which shows that the insurance information, treatment payment application acceptance, occupational injury confirmation, treatment distribution, processing progress and other inquiry services are being practiced run.

Including delivery riders, instant delivery staff, online car drivers, such as the new employment form of workers, there are 84 million people.

"In response to the shortcomings such as high occupational risks, high labor intensity and low level of security faced by this group, in recent years, we have worked with relevant departments to continuously improve the system and mechanism, innovate work methods, strengthen service security, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of workers in new employment forms," said Li Xinwang, director of the labor relations department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.

From the eight departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Safeguarding the Labor Protection Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms", to the introduction of special project rights protection policies for key groups such as takeout workers and online car-hailing drivers, and the reasonable definition of labor protection responsibilities of enterprises, to the February 2024 issue of "Guidelines for the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms of Rest and Labor Remuneration", "Guidelines for the Publicity of Labor Rules for Workers in New Employment Forms" and "Guidelines for the Protection of Workers’ Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms"… Relevant departments have accelerated the support of "umbrella companies" for workers in new

"We guide platform companies and their employment partners to sign employment contracts and written agreements with workers, reasonably determine labor compensation, scientifically arrange working hours, formulate and revise platform labor rules such as order distribution and compensation payment in accordance with laws and regulations, and establish an internal labor dispute resolution mechanism," Li Xinwang said.

In response to the outstanding problems faced by workers in the new employment form of "overtime work", the relevant guidelines have made specific and detailed guidance for enterprises to scientifically determine the workload and labor intensity, and at the same time include workers in the new employment form into the minimum wage guarantee. In terms of optimizing insurance participation services, except for some megacities, all localities have opened the channels for flexible employment personnel to participate in employee pension insurance at the place of employment.

What should I do if there is a dispute between workers and platforms over compensation, and how can I protect my rights?

By strengthening the linkage with people’s mediation and judicial mediation, relevant departments have launched one-stop joint mediation services for labor disputes in new employment forms such as labor compensation, rest time, and occupational injury. At the same time, they have continuously improved the construction of online mediation platforms, optimized the mediation process and time limit, and helped both parties reach a mediation agreement voluntarily on the basis of mutual understanding and accommodation.

"The parties can also apply for arbitration review or judicial confirmation of the mediation agreement, and after review or confirmation, they can apply for the court to enforce it. At present, there are nearly 1,000 such mediation organizations across the country, and we will continue to promote it," Li Xinwang said.

58-Year-old kung fu superstar jumps over volcano, Jackie Chan: Die like a hero

　　　 Jackie Chan, who is 58 years old this year, has performed a lot of extremely dangerous and difficult moves for the audience in "Zodiac". Not long ago, he broke the Guinness World Record for "most stunts". Jackie Chan admitted that looking back on the dangerous scenes he had shot, he was also very scared at the time. "Today I broke my hand, tomorrow I broke my foot, and I can cut my head at every turn. I can get through it safely, but every morning I wake up and ask myself, will I be so lucky every time? Bruce Lee died after a few scenes, but he left a very bright image. I also want to leave a bright image, but I am not willing to die. It is better to leave a way out for myself and tell everyone that I will never make such a life-saving movie again."

　　　 "It was too dangerous. I was going to roll down from the top of the volcano with iron ore in my eyes. Before I took the picture, I asked them, when was the last volcanic eruption? They said it was ten years ago. I mean, I wouldn’t have caught up with it so coincidentally. Once I saw a big rock floating over, and they were all shouting: Big brother! Go away! I stood in front of the camera very calmly and smartly, because even if I die, I will die like a hero."
