Internet 30 years and 30 things | Short video industry 20 years, from giant competition to national entertainment.

Open column language

In April, 1994, China fully accessed the Internet and became the 77th member of the international Internet family. This year is the 30th year of China’s full-featured access to the Internet, and it is also an important node of "half a child".

In just 30 years of development, there are many "things" worth remembering. In the past 30 years, the Internet in China has grown from scratch, from small to large, from large to strong, and many objects, applications or platforms have been born. The value of the above objects or applications is not only in business, but also a kind of feeling, which embodies people’s long-term memory of life and emotion.

To this end, Beijing News Shell Finance and China Internet Development Foundation China Positive Energy Network Communication Special Fund launched the topic "Internet 30 Years and 30 Things". I hope that by telling the story of the landmark objects, applications or platforms in the history of Internet development in China, I can outline the evolution of Internet in China in the past 30 years and see where it will go in the future.

A network cable 30 years ago connected China to the world. Nowadays, the Internet is half-baked and China is in the ascendant after the "Internet".


Art leader andy warhol said, "Everyone can be famous in 15 minutes" and "Everyone can be famous for 15 minutes". However, in the era of short video, it takes only 15 seconds for a person to become famous.

After nearly 20 years of development, the short video industry has experienced the evolution from the micro-film era to the mobile era, and then to the national era. It is generally judged in the industry that more and more short video platforms will begin to diversify, taking into account a variety of content and forms of expression; Industry players tend to be more concentrated, relying on the support of giants, and realizing the integration of Lian Heng through capital and resources. As a form of content expression and distribution, short video will be more and more integrated into various super applications. At the same time, with the strengthening of supervision and technological progress, the short video industry will also usher in a more compliant and broad development.

In 2005, with the improvement of network speed and bandwidth, as well as the popularity of personal computers (PCs) and video recorders, the Internet began to enter the video era from the graphic era. Tudou, Thunder, VeryCD (electric donkey download) and other companies have been established.

It was also at the end of this year that an animator named Hu Ge edited the film "The Promise" into a short film "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bread" and detonated the network. The download volume even beat the original film "The Promise", which was considered as the embryonic form of a micro-movie. Micro-movies promote the grassroots of short videos, and inadvertently cultivate the awareness of netizens using fragmented time to shoot, make, upload and watch.

Established in 2006, Six Rooms introduced Hugo and launched his follow-up works, which brought huge traffic. With the gradual formation of video sharing atmosphere, Six Rooms, Tudou, Youku, Kuliuwang, etc. have stood in the ranks of domestic first-line video sharing websites.

Initially, these video websites were positioned as platforms for uploading and publishing original videos, which is quite similar to the concept of short video platforms today. However, at that time, user habits were still in the cultivation period, and shooting equipment and uploading costs were expensive. In 2010, Iqiyi, Youku and other players brought copyrighted content and capital into the market, and the wave of mobile Internet hit. At that time, the PC-side video sharing website was closed down or changed hands, and the six rooms gradually turned to the direction of performing arts live broadcast.

watershed

2016 can be said to be a "watershed" in the short video industry, and ByteDance’s entry is a landmark event. Before ByteDance announced "All-in Short Video", the number of short video platforms was close to 400, and Aauto Quicker, Second Shot, Watermelon Video, American Shot, Volcano Video, Tudou and other platforms quickly emerged and rushed into the first camp. They either seize the first-Mover advantage of segmentation and quickly accumulate a huge user base, or rely on Internet traffic giants.

Han Kun, one of the founders of Kuliu.com, and Zhang Hongyu, one of the founders of PPS, have been working hard in the field of short video for a long time. After Kuliu.com was acquired by Shanda.com, Han Kun founded a technology company in 2012, which is the parent company of Second Shot, xiaokaxiu and Live Broadcast, and entered the mobile video sharing. Zhang Hongyu joined Aiqiyi as PPS was acquired by Aiqiyi, and became an early investor of Second Shot. Secondhand relies on the strategic cooperation and investment relationship with Weibo, and has many stars and opinion leaders under Weibo’s banner. Most of the broadcast traffic is realized in Weibo.

Aauto Quicker was born in 2011. It was originally a tool for making moving pictures. In 2012, it transformed into a short video community and quickly accumulated influence among residents in third-and fourth-tier cities. However, Aauto Quicker said: "Aauto Quicker is not doing short videos or live broadcasts, but just wants to bring the ability of recording and sharing to everyone with technology. This technology can also be in other forms in the future. We hope that everyone can have equal opportunities for communication. "

The beauty shoot emphasizes the beauty function, the positioning is feminine and vertical, and the users are mostly women.

During the Spring Festival of 2014, hundreds of stars, including Lee MinHo, Fan Bingbing and He Jiong, gathered in Microvision to pay New Year’s greetings and broadcast them on TV in turn, which brought a small climax to Microvision: this application, which was launched in 2013, remained in the top five in the App Store for several days, with 45 million daily active users. From New Year’s Eve to the first day of the first year, millions of people released and watched short videos of New Year’s greetings through Microvision, with a total broadcast volume of hundreds of millions of times. Ten months after its launch, Microvision was established as an independent department.

ByteDance’s entry in the second half of 2016 became a watershed in the short video industry. In September 2016, ByteDance founder Zhang Yiming announced "All-in Short Video", and successively launched three short video products, namely watermelon video, volcano video and Tik Tok. According to reports, the three products have different positioning. Tik Tok is mainly a short music video for young people, volcano video is a daily life sharing platform, and watermelon is a mobile short video platform, which uses AI algorithm to push content to users.

With the strong entry of ByteDance, the short video industry has entered a new competitive pattern, and mainstream Internet companies have focused their attention on the short video field, unwilling to miss the new outlet.

The battle of giants

The "war" was first burned on the subsidy. In September 2016, Tencent and ByteDance almost simultaneously proposed their own short video subsidy plans of 1 billion yuan; In the first half of 2017, Baidu and Ali followed up. Baidu announced that it would divide the accumulated content producers into 10 billion yuan, while Ali proposed to support content creation with 2 billion yuan subsidies; In November 2017, Tencent opened its platform with 10 billion yuan of subsidies and resources at its partner conference, focusing on supporting short video entrepreneurship and even opening its own copyrighted content for producers to use; ByteDance’s watermelon video immediately announced that it would pay 2 billion yuan as the creator’s advance production fee.

At the same time as the subsidy, the platform is built. At first, BAT (Baidu, Ali, Tencent) did not set up a separate short video aggregation platform, but chose to add short video functions to their original super applications, and encouraged content providers to settle in various "accounts" to realize "one account settled in" and multi-platform distribution. Tencent’s Penguin is responsible for such functions, and Ali’s Big Fish is responsible for such functions. Baidu, Netease and Sohu have also followed suit to open various distribution accounts.

In the second half of 2017, under the temptation of the powerful broadcast volume and duration of short videos, major Internet companies also launched their own single short video platforms. In November 2017 alone, the short video industry ushered in four new products directly hatched by Internet companies, namely 360′ s "Fast Video", Baidu’s "Good Video", Tencent’s "Microvision" and Weibo’s "Cool Burning". In the first half of 2017, Ali upgraded the acquired Tudou to a short video platform. Tencent emphasizes social relations, Ali focuses on e-commerce, ByteDance plots information distribution, and Internet giants make short videos in their own good directions.

In the field of short video, capital layout has already begun. The second shot was first incorporated by the giants. In July 2013, September 2014, November 2015 and November 2016, Sina Weibo Fund invested in the parent company’s technology for four consecutive rounds, and was the lead investor in at least two rounds. At the critical moment, Weibo took Secondshot as its exclusive short video platform, helping Secondshot win the tough battle with platforms such as Meipai and Xiaoying.

Followed by Aauto Quicker, in March 2017, Aauto Quicker received $350 million in financing, and Tencent led the investment; In its tens of millions of dollars in financing in March 2016, Baidu Investment Department appeared. The veteran player "Mei Pai" belongs to Meitu, a Hong Kong-listed company. Watermelon video, volcano video and Tik Tok are big trees backed by ByteDance.

China’s Internet giants completed the power assembly of the short video sector in early 2018. From the perspective of capital, various short video platforms have embraced the giant’s thighs and "achieved each other" with resources and capital. From the perspective of application attributes, there may be few independent short video platforms in the future, and most of them are integrated into super applications as tools to attract traffic and distribute content.

Move forward in adjustment

By the end of 2019, short video traffic has basically been divided. QuestMobile data shows that as of June 2019, the number of newly installed users in the short video industry was close to 100 million, and the total monthly active users were close to 821 million, basically covering all netizens in China at that time. Among them, ByteDance (Tik Tok, Watermelon and Volcano) ranks first with nearly 600 million monthly activities after weight reduction, while Aauto Quicker ranks second with nearly 350 million monthly activities, followed by Tencent (micro-vision, hot pot) and Baidu (good-looking, all-people) with huge traffic portals.

Many commercial actions have been carried out almost simultaneously, and almost all the means of realizing advertisements, e-commerce, live broadcasts, enterprise numbers and short videos have been opened to content producers this year. Many content entrepreneurs bluntly say that it is precisely because of the "attack" of Tencent Microvision and Baidu’s good-looking videos that Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker are willing to open all these original platforms, such as e-commerce and advertising, to content entrepreneurs, so that they can get more shares in the ecology.

It can be said that short video has become the biggest outlet in the 4G era, and no giant wants to be absent. Although Tencent and Baidu were behind Aauto Quicker and ByteDance at that time, they all hoped to stay at the poker table and wait for the next outlet in the 5G era. Just one year later, "lucky" Tencent and others came to the WeChat video number, while Baidu "hastily" announced at the end of 2020 that it would acquire YY live broadcast under Huanju Group for over 3 billion yuan.

While the short video industry is in sturm und drang, the industry supervision is becoming stricter. In 2018, short video platforms such as Aauto Quicker, Volcano Video, Meipai and Tik Tok were successively ordered to be rectified by relevant departments. At that time, Tik Tok initiated the initiative of all sectors of society to jointly draft the Tik Tok Community Convention on the platform to strengthen self-discipline; At the beginning of 2019, China Network Audiovisual Program Service Association issued "Management Specification for Network Short Video Platform" and "Detailed Rules for Auditing Network Short Video Content" to guide the standardized development of the industry; In 2020, xiaokaxiu and pear videos were successively removed; The year 2021 coincides with the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan, and the short video industry is facing the "strongest supervision in history". The China Network Audiovisual Program Service Association issued the Detailed Rules for the Audit Standards of Network Short Video Content, which regulated and restricted the short video content in more detail.

According to the latest data, in 2023, 112,918,700 hours of Internet video programs were added, including 547,462,600 hours of short videos. Internet users watched Internet audio-visual programs (including short videos) for about 3 hours every day, and more than 750 million users uploaded short videos.

It is generally judged in the industry that more and more short video platforms will begin to diversify, taking into account a variety of content and forms of expression; Industry players tend to be more concentrated, relying on the support of giants, and realizing the integration of Lian Heng through capital and resources. As a form of content expression and distribution, short video will be more and more integrated into various super applications. At the same time, with the strengthening of supervision and technological progress, the short video industry will also usher in a more compliant and broad development.

Guangzhou has entered the high incidence of influenza in spring! You need to pay attention →

According to Guangzhou CDC

Recent monitoring data show that

For nearly a month,

The level of influenza activity, mainly influenza A, continues to rise.

The momentum is rapid.

Guangzhou has entered the high incidence of influenza in spring.

What are the symptoms of influenza?

How will it spread?

How to prevent and treat it scientifically?

How to tell whether it is the flu or the common cold?

……

One article will take you all to know.

What is the flu?

△ Xu Yi, Director of Internal Medicine Department and Director of Infectious Diseases Department of Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center

Xu Yi, director of internal medicine department and director of infectious diseases department of Guangzhou Women and Children Medical Center, said that influenza, referred to as influenza, is an acute respiratory disease caused by influenza virus and belongs to Class C infectious disease. Influenza A (subtype A H1N1 and subtype A H3N2) and influenza B (strain Yamagata and strain Victoria) are the most prevalent seasonal viruses in the population. Influenza A virus is more likely to spread rapidly among people, and many large-scale outbreaks of influenza in history are related to influenza A virus. Recently, the rising level of influenza activity in many places in China is also caused by the subtype of influenza A (H1N1).

In the past three years, we have taken non-drug interventions, such as wearing masks and limiting social distance, which have effectively curbed the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. At the same time, it also reduces the exposure to influenza in the population, resulting in the decline of pre-existing immunity in the population, which has a certain risk of influenza epidemic. In the south, there may be a single annual influenza peak from April to June every year.

In the face of influenza virus, we have two sharp weapons to "defeat the enemy": special antiviral drugs and influenza vaccine. As long as you pay attention to personal precautions and maintain good hygiene habits, the possibility of a persistent influenza pandemic is already small, so you don’t have to be nervous and afraid.

How does the flu spread?

Influenza patients and recessive infections are the main sources of seasonal influenza infection. Influenza is mainly transmitted by air droplets, and it can also be transmitted by direct or indirect contact with mucous membranes such as mouth, nose and eyes. It can also spread in the form of aerosol in a crowded, closed or poorly ventilated room.

What are the main symptoms of influenza?

The onset of influenza is urgent, and most of them are self-limited. Mainly with fever, headache, myalgia and general malaise; The body temperature can reach 39~40℃, which is often accompanied by systemic symptoms such as muscle and joint pain, fatigue and loss of appetite. Often sore throat, dry cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, discomfort behind the sternum, facial flushing, conjunctival congestion and so on. Some patients have mild or no symptoms. Mild flu is often similar to the common cold, but flu fever and systemic symptoms are more obvious.

How to distinguish

H1N1 and the common cold?

The child has flu-related symptoms

What circumstances need to be sent to the doctor in time?

1. Persistent high fever > 3 days, accompanied by severe cough, expectoration of pus, blood sputum, or chest pain;

2. Breathing frequency is fast, breathing is difficult, and the lips are cyanotic;

3. Slow response, lethargy, restlessness, etc.;

4. Severe vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration such as less urine and less tears;

5. pneumonia;

6. When the original underlying disease is obviously aggravated.

It should be emphasized that younger children must see a doctor when they have persistent high fever or ultra-high fever in the first 1-2 days of illness, and the antipyretic drugs and physical cooling effects are not obvious, or when they have convulsions.

How to treat the flu?

Generally, children are advised to stay at home and keep the room ventilated after symptoms appear. Get enough rest, drink plenty of water, and the diet should be easy to digest and nutritious. Minimize contact with others and avoid infection. The focus of treatment is to relieve flu-like symptoms such as fever and cough, and the patient’s condition should be closely observed.

Children under 5 years old or obese are more likely to have serious complications, so antiviral treatment under the guidance of a doctor as soon as possible can alleviate flu symptoms, shorten the course of flu and reduce the mortality rate of severe flu.

Remember: antibiotics and hormones are ineffective against influenza virus. )

The flu is coming

How to prevent it scientifically?

1. Personal protection: During the flu season, try to avoid going to crowded places and contacting people with respiratory symptoms; If the child has respiratory symptoms, he should rest at home, conduct health observation, and enter the park and attend classes without illness; Maintain good hygiene habits such as hand hygiene and cough etiquette.

2. Maintain environmental sanitation: keep the residence clean and ventilated, and regularly clean and disinfect key parts such as door handles and handrails.

3. Strengthen the health monitoring of collective units: schools and kindergartens should strengthen morning and afternoon inspections and full-day observation; Children with flu-like symptoms should rest at home to reduce the spread of the disease.

4. Vaccination against influenza is the first line of defense against influenza, and children over 6 months old can have protective effect after vaccination according to recommended procedures. The peak time and duration of influenza activity vary from place to place every year. In order to ensure that the recipients can get immune protection before the flu season, it is recommended to vaccinate as soon as the vaccine is available.

32.33 trillion yuan, up 5.3% year-on-year. Perspective on the highlights of China’s economic development from the foreign trade data of the first three quarters.

CCTV News:On the afternoon of October 14th, the State Council Information Office held a press conference. The relevant person in charge of the General Administration of Customs introduced that in the first three quarters of this year, the economic operation was generally stable, the import and export of goods grew steadily, and the foreign trade structure continued to be optimized.

According to customs statistics, in the first three quarters of this year, China’s import and export was 32.33 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 5.3%; Among them, the export was 18.62 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.2%; Imports reached 13.71 trillion yuan, up by 4.1%.

In the first three quarters, the historical period exceeded 32 trillion yuan for the first time, and the import and export in each quarter exceeded 10 trillion yuan, 11 trillion yuan and 11.17 trillion yuan respectively, which was also the first time in the historical period.

Tu Xinquan, Dean of the China World Trade Organization Research Institute of the University of International Business and Economics, said: "This year’s foreign trade performance is still very bright. The total import and export volume in the first three quarters exceeded 10 trillion yuan, showing the strong growth momentum of China’s foreign trade. The most fundamental factor behind this lies in the overall improvement of China’s international trade competitiveness, and our competitiveness comes from a highly complete manufacturing supply chain, huge economies of scale and rapid technological progress. Although the current world economic situation is turbulent and there are many unfavorable factors, strong international competitiveness is the basis and guarantee for the continuous expansion of our products in the world market. "

In the past two days, a large-scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier under construction of Dalian Shipping Company docked at the dock berth, and nearly 1,000 workers were outfitting the ship. On the other side of the dock, an LNG dual-fuel container ship is undergoing final debugging before delivery. This marine "Big Mac" is powered by natural gas and oil, which can reduce carbon emissions by more than 20% and sulfur oxide emissions by 100%.

Since the beginning of this year, under the background of decarbonization and transformation of the shipping industry, Liaoning shipbuilding enterprises are promoting the transformation and upgrading of mainstream products, actively providing green, safe and intelligent green ships to the world, and the number of products delivered has increased significantly. In the first eight months of this year, shipping enterprises in Dalian exported a total of 12.11 billion yuan worth of various types of ships, up 31.3% year-on-year.

The steady growth of import and export depends on both supply and demand.

According to the foreign trade data released on the 14th, China’s import and export maintained steady growth in the first three quarters. A reporter asked what were the main factors driving the growth. According to the relevant person in charge of the General Administration of Customs, the steady growth of China’s import and export depends on both supply and demand.

On the demand side, from an international perspective, the latest WTO report raised the forecast of the annual growth rate of goods trade. The World Bank, OECD and other institutions believe that the global economy is stabilizing and the recovery of external demand has created favorable conditions for China’s exports. In the first three quarters, China’s exports to traditional markets such as Europe, America and Japan increased by 4.2%, while exports to emerging markets such as ASEAN and Latin America increased by 12.3% and 13.7% respectively.

Domestically, since the beginning of this year, China’s industrial production has grown steadily, driving the import of coal, natural gas and iron ore to increase by 11.9%, 13% and 4.9% respectively in the first three quarters. With the cyclical upswing of the consumer electronics industry, the imports of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, integrated circuits and flat panel display modules have all achieved double-digit growth. The consumer market continued to grow steadily, and the imports of specialty fruits, wine, clothing and other consumer goods increased by 7.1%, 28.9% and 6.1% respectively, effectively meeting the diversified domestic consumer demand.

From the supply side. At present, China is accelerating the development of new quality productivity, and the trend of high-end, intelligent and green manufacturing is very obvious. Innovation makes China manufacturing more widely favored.

In the first three quarters, China’s high-end equipment exports increased by over 40%.

At the press conference, the person in charge of the General Administration of Customs introduced that at present, China is accelerating the development of new quality productivity, and the trend of high-end, intelligent and green manufacturing is obvious.

Customs statistics show that in the first three quarters of this year, China’s export product structure was optimized, and the export of high-end equipment increased by over 40%. The export of mechanical and electrical products was 11.03 trillion yuan, up 8%, accounting for 59.3% of the total export value. Among them, the export of high-end equipment increased by 43.4%, and the export of integrated circuits, automobiles and household appliances increased by 22%, 22.5% and 15.5% respectively. In addition, the export of traditional labor-intensive products was 3.13 trillion yuan, an increase of 2.8%.

Foreign trade business entities remain active, and private enterprises grow rapidly.

Statistics released by the General Administration of Customs show that in the first three quarters of this year, all kinds of business entities in China remained active, and private enterprises achieved rapid growth. Taking Jiangsu, which has the largest manufacturing cluster in China, as an example, relying on the complementary advantages of industrial structure with overseas countries, foreign trade enterprises keep a close eye on the wind direction of global industrial chain supply chain and continuously improve the export of high-tech products.

Since the beginning of this year, Jiangsu has continuously strengthened the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and the export contribution of high-tech products has been continuously enhanced. In the first nine months, the export of high-tech products exceeded 860 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of about 10%.

In recent years, the private economy has made remarkable achievements, and the import and export scale has hit record highs. Not only that, private enterprises have also become a new force leading innovation and creation, and are the largest import and export subject of high-tech products in China. 

According to customs statistics, in the first three quarters of this year, the import and export of private enterprises in China was 17.78 trillion yuan, up 9.4%, accounting for 55% of the total foreign trade, up 2.1 percentage points; The import and export of foreign-invested enterprises was 9.53 trillion yuan, up by 1.1%, increasing for two consecutive quarters; The import and export of state-owned enterprises was 4.95 trillion yuan, an increase of 0.1%.

Tu Xinquan, Dean of the China World Trade Organization Research Institute of the University of International Business and Economics, said: "Private enterprises have played a major role in China’s foreign trade for many years. I think this is mainly due to the deepening of China’s reform and opening up. The continuous improvement of market economic system reform has created an increasingly optimized business environment for the development of private enterprises, and the continuous expansion of opening up has helped private enterprises to better learn, digest and absorb the world’s most advanced technology and experience, and keep up with or even lead the latest trend of world industrial development. Foreign-funded enterprises continue to play an irreplaceable role in China’s economic development and international exchanges. Opening up is not only our national policy, but also our firm belief. China will continue to expand its opening up and welcome foreign-funded enterprises to participate in the construction of Chinese modernization and share the development opportunities of China. "

Trade with more than 160 countries and regions around the world has grown.

According to the data released by the General Administration of Customs on the 14th, in the first three quarters of this year, the import and export of foreign trade between China and its major trading partners maintained a growth momentum, and the international market layout with close regional cooperation and diversified progress continued to be optimized.

These two days, in this food production company in Yunnan, workers are busy packing a batch of 850 kilograms of bagged rice noodles, which will be exported to Britain after passing the customs inspection.

Crossing the bridge rice noodles is a local traditional snack. After processing and upgrading, it carries Yunnan’s unique food culture and historical details and gradually "goes out of the circle" to the world.

With the help of efficient customs clearance and other measures, this year’s 1-mdash; In August, the export of ready-to-eat and fast-cooked products in Yunnan Province increased by 28.7% year-on-year, and the export value increased by 23.8% year-on-year.

Customs statistics show that in the first three quarters of this year, China’s market diversification was steadily advanced, and trade with more than 160 countries and regions around the world increased. The import and export of countries that jointly built the "Belt and Road" was 15.21 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%, and the proportion increased to 47.1%. Imports and exports to other RCEP member countries reached 9.63 trillion yuan, up 4.5%, of which imports and exports to ASEAN reached 5.09 trillion yuan, up 9.4%. In the same period, the import and export to the EU and the United States were 4.18 trillion yuan and 3.59 trillion yuan respectively, up by 0.9% and 4.2% respectively.

Tu Xinquan, Dean of China World Trade Organization Research Institute of the University of International Business and Economics, said: "China’s foreign trade market diversification has continuously made new progress. While consolidating the traditional market, it has occupied an increasing share in emerging markets. This is the result of the concerted efforts of the Chinese government and enterprises. On the one hand, our government has actively signed various trade agreements with trading partners to explore ‘ Belt and Road ’ Market, constantly expand the circle of friends. On the other hand, Chinese enterprises have a strong sense of pioneering and flexible market strategies, and constantly develop emerging markets, so that China’s foreign trade competitive advantage can be fully exerted.

★ The enterprise undertakes the main production tasks.

The total duration is over 20 minutes.

According to the official website of the State Film Bureau, the story outline of "Nezha’s Devil Children Naughting the Sea" is as follows: After the natural disaster, although the souls of Nezha and Ao Bing were saved, their bodies will soon be out of their wits. Taiyi real person intends to reshape the flesh of the two with seven-color lotus. However, there are many difficulties in the process of remolding the flesh. Where will the fate of Nezha and Ao Bing go?

Ne Zha, which was released in 2019, was deeply loved by the audience with its unique painting style and profound theme. In the end, the box office exceeded 5 billion, making it the number one animated film in China film history.

Call for Nezha together!

Extended reading:

Ne Zha, the former film, was written and directed by jiaozi (formerly known as Yu Yang) and was released in Chinese mainland on July 26th, 2019. The story background of the film comes from the story of Nezha in the fairy tale "The Romance of the Gods", and based on this, it is adapted to portray Nezha as a "magic boy" in troubled times who has come into the world by mistake. The film tells a fantastic story about this character, although he was born as a magic, but he went against the sky.

After the release of Ne Zha, it caused a great response, and the box office word-of-mouth double harvest. Not only did it win the Golden Dragon Award, the Hundred Flowers Award Award and the Golden Rooster Award in China, but the box office finally exceeded 5 billion, making it the first animated film in China film history. Red Whale Film and Television actively participated in the production of the film. About 400 of the 1,800 realistic and delicate shots in the whole film came from enterprises, and most of them were time-consuming and difficult special effects shots, which contributed an important force to this phenomenal film.

Influenza has entered a period of high incidence, so don’t fall into these eight misunderstandings in the prevention and treatment of influenza!

  CCTV News:Every winter and spring is a high incidence of influenza. Recently, the National Influenza Center released the influenza surveillance report for the second week of 2019. The report shows that the level of influenza activity in the northern and southern provinces of China continues to rise, and it has reached the peak level of influenza epidemic. The flu is fierce, but some misunderstandings about the flu may be more terrible than the flu itself!

  Myth 1: This year’s flu is more serious than in previous years.

  Feng Zijian, deputy director of China CDC, said that the overall epidemic intensity of influenza this year is not as strong as last year, but it may be slightly stronger in some local areas. According to past experience, influenza may reach its peak in a week or two, and then the activity intensity of influenza will fall back.

  % of influenza-like cases reported by sentinel hospitals in southern provinces in 2015-2019 Source: National Influenza Center.

  According to the report released by the National Influenza Center, in the second week of 2019, the ILI% reported by sentinel hospitals in southern provinces was 5.5%, which was higher than the same period in 2016 and 2017 (3.2% and 3.1%) and lower than the same period in 2018 (6.0%); The ILI% reported by sentinel hospitals in northern provinces was 5.3%, which was higher than that in 2016 and 2017 (3.2% and 3.6%) and lower than that in 2018 (5.5%).

  Song Tie, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that there were more outbreaks of influenza in primary schools this year, but with the school holidays, this outbreak will gradually decrease.

  Myth 2: This year, the emergence of "EB flu" and other variants of influenza virus is even more harmful.

  Recently, a message about the so-called "EB flu" circulated in the circle of friends, saying that "EB virus caused a severe flu", and the news that "the flu virus turned to attack children’s brains this year" also made many people fidget. Is there a mutation in this year’s influenza virus, and is it more harmful than before? Experts said that at present, the variation of influenza virus has not been found in various places, and there is no EB flu in medicine.

  According to experts, although there is EB virus, there is no EB flu. Symptoms such as fever and sore throat caused by EB virus have nothing to do with influenza, and EB virus itself is not highly pathogenic and contagious, so it generally does not need special treatment.

  Myth 3: Influenza is treated as a common cold.

  The symptoms of the common cold are mild, and most of them are respiratory symptoms such as sore throat, cough and stuffy nose. Generally, they will get better after seven to ten days. If there are complications, they are usually sinusitis and otitis media, and the consequences are not serious; The flu will be accompanied by high fever above 38℃, chills, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, etc., and it will also be complicated with severe pneumonia and myocarditis, which is sometimes fatal and highly contagious. Hundreds of thousands of people worldwide die of the flu every year. Experts suggest that once you have cold symptoms, you should go to the hospital in time to check and diagnose whether it is the flu or not, and prescribe the right medicine.

  Myth 4: taking drugs "just a few days"

  Experts pointed out that the antiviral drug oseltamivir can alleviate flu symptoms and reduce complications. However, oseltamivir has its timing: use it within 48 hours after suffering from influenza, and the earlier the effect, the better. If it exceeds the time limit, the effect will be ignored.

  Other cold medicines are only "symptomatic medicines" to relieve symptoms, and any cold symptoms can only be eliminated through the resistance of patients’ own immunity.

  Zheng Rongxiu, the chief physician of the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, pointed out that there are many anti-cold drugs now, which just make the symptoms of cold less and make people feel better, but have no effect on the course of the disease itself. After the course of the disease, most patients can recover with our immunity.

  Myth # 5: When you have the flu, the infusion will get better quickly.

  According to experts, glucose, saline, antibiotics or traditional Chinese medicine injections are generally infused, and none of them are necessary for treating influenza. Glucose and salt can be ingested from the diet, so as long as they can eat, there is no need to directly enter the vein. Influenza is caused by virus, and antibiotics are used to kill bacteria, which has no effect on virus infection and can’t prevent secondary bacterial infection. If you have a bacterial infection, you need to use antibiotics or take them orally. There is no need for infusion. As for traditional Chinese medicine injections, at present, the side effects are unknown and the infusion risk is high.

  No matter from the perspective of saving medical costs or safety, we should follow the principle that drugs can be taken orally without injection, and drugs can be injected without infusion.

  Myth # 6: Mixed use of multiple drugs is effective.

  Experts emphasize that taking a variety of cold medicines will not play much role in the curative effect, on the contrary, the risk of adverse reactions will be doubled.

  Xie Lixin, director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine, the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital, said that it is a three-point poison. In clinical work, the related side effects caused by drug abuse or excessive overdose are not uncommon, and the lessons are very profound.

  Myth 7: relying on "remedies" such as vinegar fumigation to prevent influenza

 

  In order to prevent the flu, some people smoke vinegar at home. Experts say that acetic acid can only kill bacteria when it reaches a certain concentration. Moreover, the flu virus is not a bacterium, and it cannot be killed by acetic acid at all. Blind vinegar fumigation will also aggravate the condition of patients with bronchitis and emphysema.

  Others rely on oral vitamin C to prevent influenza. Experts say that taking enough fruits and vegetables has the same effect as oral vitamin C, which can improve immunity, but it has no antiviral effect. According to the method of drinking Radix Isatidis and other traditional Chinese medicines to prevent influenza, experts said that Radix Isatidis is cool and not beneficial to all patients.

  Yang Shuyu, president of Xiamen Medical Association, Fujian Province, pointed out that it is very important to pay attention to improving one’s immunity when a cold is prevalent, and blindly taking drugs will affect and damage one’s immunity.

  Myth # 8: Strong people don’t have to be afraid of the flu.

  Experts say that people who are strong and have strong resistance should not think that their chances of getting the flu are low, so they don’t pay attention to rest and prevention, so that the virus also has the opportunity to take advantage of it, such as fatigue, hunger, or soaking clothes after sweating a lot. Among influenza complications, the incidence of myocarditis is higher in healthy young adults. This is because these people are more immune, and when they are invaded by the virus, their own defense system will also damage myocardial cells while removing the virus. 

  The prevention methods of influenza in active period have long been known.

  Do a good job in preventing influenza:

  1, keep indoor air circulation, pay attention to the clean environment;

  2. Maintain adequate sleep, healthy diet and moderate exercise;

  3. Pay attention to the weather change, add or subtract clothes with the temperature change to avoid catching cold;

  4. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change clothes and wash hands frequently, and cover your mouth and nose with paper towels or sleeves when sneezing or coughing.

  Children and the elderly should pay special attention to:

  1. Put an end to letting children attend classes with illness, try to avoid contact with patients with influenza-like cases, and wear masks if necessary;

  2. It is suggested that the elderly and residents with basic diseases should be vaccinated as soon as possible before the peak of influenza;

  3, the school nursery institutions should do a good job of absence monitoring due to illness and morning and afternoon inspection.

How difficult is it for Legal Companion to travel to London to interpret overseas shooting exclusively?


Special feature of 1905 film network On March 12th, the light comedy of love was released in China. The film focuses on the difficulties encountered by China students when they drifted to Britain. In order to make up for the unexpected mistake that Gu Dabai was about to be deported because he failed to renew his contract in time, Jin Tian, a good brother, came up with a "good idea" to hide the truth and keep Gu Dabai.


The story took place in England, and the audience also followed the movie on a cloud tour. In addition to St. Paul’s Cathedral, Thames, London Eye and other famous attractions, the scenery of unknown blocks is also a major attraction of the film. These blocks have a British texture, showing the real "London style".



In this issue, I specially invited the director of Legal Companion to share with us his film shooting strategy in Britain."The preparatory period for the film" Legal Companion "to shoot in the UK has been almost one year, because we have to look at the scenery first, and then we have to declare this permission to the British government quickly. Only when we get the permission can we really shoot."



"Basically, if you want to finish this film, you have to follow the previous production plan and finish what you planned to finish at every fixed time, because Britain is a country that pays great attention to commitments and contracts. All the forms we fill in and the applications we submit are official commitments, so we have given people this commitment, and we must complete this work within this commitment. "



At the beginning of the film, Gu Dabai rode through the block. In fact, this seemingly ordinary living shooting location also needs to be fully prepared.


"With the understanding of the domestic audience, the traditional filing in our country is different. Britain is a country with private ownership, and its land is allowed to be privately held. Therefore, when I shoot in one street, it is very likely that I will shoot three streets together. The former street belongs to the government and the third street belongs to an individual. After I submit the report to the government, I have to get his permission from the owner of the individual before I can get the whole scene. "


In addition to the beautiful scenery in the film, the casting and dressing of the film are also very British. The leading actor with a mixed-race face studied in Britain during his undergraduate period and lived in the same semi-basement house as in the film. "Semi-underground is a place to live that particularly reflects the identity of international students." We can also get a glimpse of the real life of "Ying Piao" in the movie by renting the basement in the wet England.



In recent years, it is not uncommon for China films to be filmed in foreign countries. The film released in this year’s Spring Festival not long ago also encountered many production problems when shooting in Japan. When shooting in a busy street, the crew must go through the consent of every store and every business before shooting in this street, and they must apologize to the residents and passers-by who are disturbed by it.



Cultural differences in different countries and different modes of film industry production have brought various difficulties to China films with transnational cooperation. To overcome these difficulties, what we have to do is to know the local culture in advance and do our homework well. Respecting and being honest with each other is the essence of making a good transnational cooperative film. Director Huang Lei bluntly said: "You must give the other party enough respect before the other party will give you respect and allow you to shoot."



Transnational cooperation in China movies can not only bring viewers the viewing experience of cloud tourism in different regions, but also bring different cultural environment cores to the story of the movie itself. In order to avoid the story and the beautiful scenery, we must have a deep understanding of the location of the story, and whether the location can fit the regional and cultural background of the story is also the direction that filmmakers need to pay attention to in transnational cooperative films.


"The style of the whole British society is not only focused on the beautiful scenery, but also has more British people, British life, British social things, and some bits and pieces of details, so these details constitute the whole overseas culture. It is particularly realistic to let our characters live in such an environment."



Legal Companion can successfully bring the audience the real life state of young people overseas, which is inseparable from the early understanding of British regional culture. The cross-border cooperative shooting strategy shared by director Huang Lei also gives filmmakers, especially young directors who want to shoot similar themes, some experiences that can be used for reference. "I think it is still necessary to understand the people in this place, their daily thinking habits and living habits, and then what will happen when different cultures collide."



Nowadays, China movies with transnational cooperation emerge one after another. While putting an exotic coat on the environment, we hope that the movies can tell the stories of people in different cultural backgrounds at the same time. Now we have a series of successful examples, such as "Legal Companion", and we are looking forward to more and more such films.



The director’s observation of today’s film review;Many people may think that shooting abroad is a special pleasure, but it is endless pressure for directors. Shooting abroad means higher costs, and the accommodation and travel of the whole crew will become a big account. Shooting abroad may also face more unknowns and risks, and the director needs to make a quick decision in a limited time and finish shooting efficiently. Because I watched the director’s special film in Japan, I feel confident like him, and sometimes I hesitate and make trouble, which is even more challenging for the new director. (Wu Zhiying)


Anti-addiction! Online game real-name authentication system is expected to go online before September.

  Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from the recently held 2020 China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Exhibition that in order to prevent teenagers from indulging in online games, China is accelerating the construction of online game real-name authentication system, which is initially planned to go online before September.

  Accelerate the real-name authentication and organize enterprises to access in batches.

  Feng Shixin, deputy director of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Publishing Bureau, said at the theme forum of the exhibition that in the first half of 2020, China’s online games showed a good trend of rising against the trend. However, the online game industry still has the potential to improve, and the industry calls for more excellent works with creativity, taste and temperature. In addition, some teenagers are addicted to online games, excessive consumption and other issues, which have long attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Feng Shixin said that China is accelerating the construction of real-name authentication system at the national level, and it is initially planned to go online before September, when enterprises will be organized to access in batches.

  On August 4, the reporter of Beiqing Daily asked a number of game companies whether they had received the test of the real-name authentication system, and the other party said that they had not received the test invitation yet. Xu Xiaoliang, a senior game planner, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "Game companies have always regarded youth anti-addiction and real-name authentication as the foundation of game brands, and constantly upgraded and optimized their own systems. If the national standard can be launched in September, we will support and participate in the test for the first time, so that the system can run smoothly and healthily. "

  Pilot 16+ Anti-addiction System Deepening "Face Recognition"

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that in 2019, Tencent upgraded the anti-addiction system again to increase the age of game access. The upgraded anti-addiction system can be said to be the most rigorous anti-addiction system in Tencent’s history. In addition, Tencent also said that it will pilot the 16+ anti-addiction system in China first, and then popularize it nationwide. Tencent said that when the 16+ anti-addiction system is popularized throughout the country, many games will be able to really say goodbye to many primary school students — — Teenagers under the age of 16 will not be authorized to play the game and will not be able to enter the game.

  According to reports, in May 2020, a total of 80 games under Tencent implemented the new anti-addiction access work, and explored the further application of "face recognition" technology. The number of users of Tencent’s growth guardian platform exceeded 30 million. Following the new anti-addiction regulations for 50 products including Peace Elite, Tencent has strictly implemented the real-name system of online game accounts and controlled the duration and consumption amount of minors’ games in 30 products including the glory of the king, Dragon Valley and Yunshang Feather before the end of May. According to these regulations, if the player wants to recharge after the natural month in the game exceeds that of 400 yuan through WeChat payment, the system will require the user to perform face recognition verification, and the subsequent payment behavior is only allowed if the "faces" are consistent. In this way, it will effectively avoid the occurrence of excessive entertainment consumption of minors. As for the privacy issues brought by face recognition technology, Tencent said that in the future, it will follow the guidance of relevant authorities, take a cautious attitude, and comprehensively consider the balance between user privacy, information security and minor identification needs, and gradually explore the security application of this cutting-edge technology.

  The existing system is mostly a mere formality, which leads to parents’ dissatisfaction.

  Insiders pointed out that although the relevant departments have repeatedly urged various game companies, video websites and live broadcast platforms to upgrade the "Youth Anti-Addiction System" for many times, it is still ineffective. Children have a set of cracking methods, and parents are not satisfied with the existing "Youth Anti-Addiction System".

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that in terms of game platforms, many enterprises simplify the real-name authentication settings of the software itself on the premise of real-name authentication of third-party accounts, which makes it very easy for underage consumers to log in to the game through adult third-party accounts. Several games such as "Peace Elite" and "the glory of the king" can be registered through other accounts, such as WeChat, QQ, email and mobile phone number, or directly logged in by clicking authorization, and real-name authentication is a mere formality.

  In terms of live broadcast platform, although many applications (APPs) have teenager mode, they can extend the use time of the software in teenager mode by entering a password. "One Live Broadcast" will automatically check "Alipay Small Secret Free Payment" when recharging payment, and it must be cancelled manually to change the automatic payment method.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily also found that many video websites set up a youth mode on the APP side, but there is no such function in the web version. At the same time, many game apps, live broadcast platforms and video websites can successfully avoid the youth mode after uninstalling. Some e-commerce platforms provide the service of renting game accounts, so that underage players can "rent and purchase" to bypass the real-name authentication step.

  To truly put "adolescent addiction prevention" in place, we need to carry out "comprehensive management" from society, family, students and schools. Zhang Li, a senior designer of the game, bluntly said in an interview with the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "If various manufacturers still don’t realize the seriousness of the matter, the relevant state departments can introduce a third-party implant system so that all parties have no loopholes to drill."
