Can the concept of short drama "pull the listed companies of series ashore" again?

Wen | refers to the moon

At the end of 2023, with the short play market becoming more and more popular, the concept stocks related to short plays in the securities market experienced a strong rising period in early 2024, including Huace Film, Tianwei Video, Baina Qiancheng, Tang De Film, Ciwen Media, Chinese Online and Ning Meng Film.

However, with the round of concept speculation and the changes in the securities market environment, the share prices of these companies once again took a roller coaster ride and experienced a period of sharp decline. Take Huace Film and Television as an example, its share price rose by 64.91% from January to March 2024, reaching a high of 11.06 yuan on March 22, but then it started a long road of decline, falling by nearly 30% as of April 16, and other short drama concept stocks were similar.

However, on April 17th, when the market picked up, these companies rose again, and the concept of short play once again became a hot topic.

In the near future, the revenge-themed short play "Advanced Record of Deep House" produced by Ning Meng Film and Television has continuously occupied the forefront in the hot list of DataEye. However, the whole drama is a high imitation of last year’s revenge short play "Black Lotus Upper Manual", which was removed from the platform for reasons such as "exaggerating the bad values of extreme revenge, fighting violence with violence, and confusing the concept of right and wrong". On April 17th, The Advanced Record of Deep House seems to have suffered the same removal treatment as The Upper Manual of Black Lotus, and it is no longer possible to search for key words on platforms such as Tik Tok.

In the ups and downs of the stock price, the influence brought by the rapid growth of short plays is obviously not to be underestimated, especially for the listed companies with sluggish performance in the past few years. Short plays are both a hot topic and a vast market for real money. Whether they can firmly grasp this lifeline seems to have become the biggest factor for these drama companies to prove their growth value.

On March 27th, Ning Meng Film and Television, a Hong Kong-listed company, mentioned the development of short drama business in its 2023 annual report. The annual report shows that in 2023, the company achieved revenue of 1.22 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 28.4%; The adjusted net profit was 227 million yuan, up 60.4% year-on-year, of which the accumulated contribution income of short drama related business was 32.23 million yuan, up more than 12 times year-on-year.

The annual report also mentioned that the number of micro-dramas, such as Twenty-nine, Behind the Traffic and Save My Family, which it launched, continuously occupied the list of short dramas on the vibrato short video platform TOP1. Therefore, in the traditional film and television drama companies that enter short plays, Ning Meng Film and Television has been called a real mature layout rather than just a gimmick.

On the one hand, the annual income of short plays of about 30 million accounts for a very limited proportion of the annual income of 1.22 billion; On the other hand, the gross profit margin of the short drama-related business disclosed by Ning Meng Film and Television is 25.2%, which is far lower than the gross profit margin of the company’s long drama business of 39.7%. In terms of earning power, it only brings the company about 8 million gross profit, and the real profit figure will be even smaller after deducting other expenses.

It can be seen that in the drama companies with large basic discs, short plays are still in the early stage of layout, and Raytheon has little rain and little sense of existence in the overall revenue for the time being.

The Huace film and television behind the recent hit drama "The Story of Success" has also focused on short plays since last year. In November, 2023, Huace Film and Television said that the company began to pay attention to short plays in 2022, and began to gradually cut into it in June, 2023, and clearly established two core competencies of short play script development and marketing distribution. Six teams have been established, and five short play projects have been filmed, among which "The identity of the president of the lonely husband was exposed" was launched on November 7, and four projects such as "My General Boyfriend" are expected to be.

At first glance, my husband’s identity as president was exposed, and my general boyfriend was a short program with the theme of following the wind. After it went online, it sank into the sea in the rolling craze of short programs and did not set off any waves. Huace, who has many big dramas and movie IP in his hand, seems to focus on the short drama development of his own drama IP at present.

At the beginning of 2024, Huace’s short play Going to a Windy Place, My Way Home is Windy, A Writer’s Odyssey’s short play The Girl Who Killed the Novelist Strikes Back, and the antique comedy Looking for the Song entered the Tik Tok 2024 boutique miniseries "Project Stars". Of the two short plays that have been broadcast, the Tik Tok broadcast volume of Seeking Song is currently 22 million+.The broadcast volume of "My Way Home is Windy" is as high as 190 million, and it has been praised by many mainstream media with the characteristics of literary travel and short drama. It can be seen that the extra-curricular mode of this kind of drama IP really has great potential to be tapped, and it is also one of the core competitiveness that traditional film and television companies can quickly establish.

The same is true of Ciwen Media, another listed company of veteran dramas, trying to quickly develop the reserved IP in the form of short plays. After signing an agreement on the three-dimensional development of Gulong IP in August, 2023, Ciwen Media promoted the development and production of five online mini-dramas, namely, Wulin Waishi, Sentimental Swordsman’s Ruthless Sword, Full Moon Machete, Legend of Chu Liuxiang’s Mystery, and Legend of Chu Liuxiang’s Jianghu tales of mystery, among which Full Moon Machete, Legend of Chu Liuxiang’s Mystery, Chu Liuxiang

Another veteran drama company, Tang De Film and Television, is now the holding company of Zhejiang Radio and Television Group, whose "Blue Media Short Play" platform is being put into operation steadily. On March 17th, Tang De Film and Television announced that the launching ceremony of the boutique female frequency-crossing mini-short drama "Copy Female General" jointly produced by Tang De Film and Television Corporation and Zhejiang Satellite TV (Z Vision) was held in Jiangxi Shifang Guangying Film and Television Base. The development of short plays in Tang De film and television may match the development rhythm of Zhejiang Radio and Television more.

For most drama listed companies, it is necessary to actively lay out short plays. Because from the perspective of the capital market topic, companies that can’t keep up with the hot spots of short plays are often regarded as slow to respond and miss growth opportunities. After all, the possibility of the future is always more concerned than the present. Therefore, acquiring short play studios and companies and trying to test the water may be the common idea of drama companies at the beginning.

Like Tang De Film and Television, Ciwen Media and Huanrui Century, they used to be drama giants with a market value of over 10 billion and 20 billion at their peak, but in recent years, their production capacity has dropped significantly, and video platforms have occupied the overwhelming initiative in the drama market, with more and more customized dramas. It has become increasingly difficult for ordinary drama companies to have both explosive capacity and work scale.Therefore, in addition to the "basic disk" of long dramas, drama companies are not necessarily committed to finding new growth points such as short dramas, but they are also "just needed" for real development.

Judging from the situation of the listed companies of the above-mentioned series, the copyright drama is still the core of each company’s business, because a large amount of investment in small programs and short plays and the development of betting content themes are not so easy to make money. In addition to the above-mentioned low gross profit margin of Ning Meng’s short film and television dramas, Beijing Dianzhong Technology, the publisher of the short drama "I became a stepmother in the 1980s" in 2024, responded to the media, and the overall gross profit margin of the company was about 10%, of which the net profit margin of short drama business was less than 1%.

On the other hand, according to DataEye’s "Data Report on Mini-short Plays in 2024", the scale of mini-short plays in China will exceed 30 billion yuan in 2023 and 40 billion yuan in 2024. In this upsurge, it is still the investment platform that has made a big profit.

With the listed companies of drama series joining the short drama industry one after another, it is bound to further promote the speed of industry development iteration. Whether it’s a vertical screen mini-drama or a horizontal screen short drama, in the two tracks with obvious differences, the entry methods of drama companies such as Ning Meng Film and Huace Film and Television are further "uncoiled" in production and lineup, which forces the industry to create quality content. Process.

At the same time, since 2024, the supervision of short drama content on short video platforms has been further tightened. For example, extreme revenge themes such as The Advanced Record of Deep House mentioned above have been removed from the platform, as well as contents such as promoting unhealthy and non-mainstream family views, love and marriage views, deliberately magnifying and exaggerating the contradiction between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, etc., such as My husband is a mother-in-law man, The Last Bottom Line, darling daughter Counterattack and Pregnant Women.

It may be the right time for listed companies to actively enter the short drama industry. Because the content of short plays that attract people’s attention with exotic themes and extreme values is bound to get narrower and narrower.Under the general trend of upgrading the overall quality of short plays and tightening the theme management, there will be more and more solo short plays customized by the platform, and the demand for professional content production will only increase day by day.

On the other hand, the IP resources and copyright resources held by drama companies can also have more room to play under the expansion of the short drama market. The "quality improvement and quantity reduction" of the long drama market is obvious. The Lighthouse Professional Edition "2023 Drama Market Report" shows that the number of effective dramas in the online drama market in 2023 is 294, which is 10.6% lower than last year, and the total broadcast index of large-scale feature films is 38.612 million, which is 7.7% higher than the trend. It can be seen that the current long drama market is somewhat inclined to the mode of head drama.

On the other hand, drama companies with IP resources and copyright adaptation obviously need the space of short drama market to try more low-cost and give play to their unique competitive advantages, which may be the reason why Huace Film and Ciwen Media mentioned above all develop their own IP resources in the short drama market.

From the commercialization point of view, it is easier for drama listed companies to open up diversified commercial services in the short drama market. Take Ning Meng Film and Television as an example, it has tried many ways to realize short drama layout, such as small program payment, platform customization, platform account sharing, brand sponsorship business, etc. Compared with small teams that can only rely on platform or C-side cash, listed companies may have more channels and resources to try diversified business models in the short drama market.

Although it may not be immediate, the strong entry of drama companies may be changing the state of the short drama industry. Can these revolutionary forces stimulate the innovation vitality of the short drama industry, or will it trigger a new round of chaos after raising the threshold?Although the results are not yet clear, it is foreseeable that with the continuous investment and active exploration of more drama companies, the short drama industry will usher in a new era with richer formats and greater commercial potential. At that time, for these drama listed companies, short dramas may really change from capital topic gimmicks to facade signs.

Lorelei, he’s on a hot search? What happened to the "life-saving medicine" of "allergic star people"

Source: Jiangsu CDC (jscdcwx)

Spring has come, and "allergic star people" are getting worse.

Some people say, chlorine ray is in his hand, don’t panic!

However …

How did this get on the hot search?

The antihistamine represented by loratadine is a "life-saving medicine" for many allergic people.

So, many people rely on antihistamines for a long time, will there be side effects? What are the precautions?

Who is the "life-saving medicine" chlorine ray?

Loratadine is a commonly used drug to relieve allergic symptoms and one of the representative drugs of antihistamines.

In April and May every year, willow flocks are high, and many people will take loratadine with them in order to relieve allergic symptoms.

Although it is often used, many people don’t know how it works.

This is going to start with "what is the allergy?"

Generally speaking, allergy means that the immune system overreacts and misjudges substances from outside as "harmful substances".

At this time, the immune system will release a substance called "histamine", which will combine with histamine receptors in the body.

Therefore, patients will have respiratory tract, eyes, skin and other symptoms at the same time or successively.

H1 antihistamines represented by loratadine and cetirizine, as the name implies, are drugs that can prevent histamine from binding to its receptor, so that histamine cannot play its role.

Therefore, after taking antihistamines, symptoms such as itchy skin and sneezing will be quickly relieved. Therefore, antihistamines are called "life-saving drugs" by many allergic people.

Can this medicine be taken for a long time?

Some people regard loratadine as a "life-saving artifact all year round". But are there any side effects from long-term use of antihistamines?

In fact, loratadine can not eradicate allergens, and long-term use may lead to some adverse reactions.

side effect

First-generation antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine and bromophenamine) can cause adverse reactions such as drowsiness, fatigue and dizziness. It has anticholinergic effect, which may cause blurred vision, dry eyes, nose and mouth, urinary retention, constipation, etc. The elderly and children should use it with caution.

The second generation antihistamines (such as loratadine and cetirizine) have weak sedative effect, are not easy to cause drowsiness, and have high safety; There is no obvious anticholinergic adverse reaction, so it has no antitussive function.

Third-generation antihistamines (such as levocetirizine hydrochloride and desloratadine) have relatively strong antiallergic effect and relatively few side effects, and some drugs can be used for pregnant and lactating women and children.

Therefore, if you need to take such drugs for a long time, it is recommended to consult a doctor. The following is a summary of medication for reference.

1. Choose drugs carefully

Antihistamines are only suitable for use under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the symptoms caused by allergic diseases. Pregnant and lactating women, as well as the elderly and children, should be cautious when using drugs.

2. Pay attention to the time and dosage of medication.

Even loratadine and cetirizine, which are considered very safe in clinic, should not be taken continuously for more than one month. Because of the individual differences in medication, if the symptoms are not improved, the dosage of the drug should not be increased without authorization, and other drugs or treatment methods should be selected under the guidance of a doctor.

Step 3 don’t drink

Do not drink alcohol while taking antihistamines, otherwise it will increase the burden on the liver and inhibit the central nervous system.

4. Don’t take it before skin test.

Loratadine can prevent or reduce the positive reaction of skin test and affect the results.

5. Beware of the "chain reaction" of drugs

Antifungal drugs and macrolide antibiotics can increase the content of loratadine in blood, and it is easy to aggravate the adverse reactions when combined with antihistamines.

6. Patients with heart disease should pay attention to it

In the case of rational drug use, antihistamines have very little hepatorenal toxicity, but literature shows that some first-generation and second-generation antihistamines may have potential cardiotoxicity. Although rare, people who have heart disease or cardiovascular risk should pay attention when using antihistamines for a long time.

What else can I do to deal with allergies?

In addition to using antihistamines, many "senior patients" said that the best way to deal with it is to wear a mask! Wear long sleeves!

"Allergic star people" can do the following things in their daily life.

1. Protect yourself when going out: Wear a mask, and you can wear a thin coat for fear of allergies in bare arms. When going out, the clothes are inevitably stained with allergens such as pollen and dust outside. I suggest you wash your hair, take a shower and change your clothes when you get home.

2. Clean the nasal cavity every day: people with allergic rhinitis or sensitive to pollen and catkins should clean the nasal cavity with normal saline 2-3 times a day.

3. Do a good job in indoor cleaning: Usually, you can use high-temperature steam cleaning products or mite removal instruments to wash sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases more often.

4. Regular physical exercise: Moderate exercise will stimulate the improvement of immunity, but if the exercise load is too large, it will also reduce immunity, so physical exercise must be gradual, persistent and adequate.

There are always a few allergic people around everyone. Hurry up and forward it to someone you care about ~

Gesar: A Great Epic "The Best in the World" (I)

  As an extremely precious epic text in the treasure house of Chinese culture and even the world culture, Gesar has experienced the development process from the folk oral narrative tradition spread on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for thousands of years, to the national folk culture under the national discourse system, and then to the intangible cultural heritage of mankind in the international perspective, which is a great contribution of the Chinese nation to human civilization.

  Historically, the story of the hero Gesar has been spread among Tibetans, Mongolians, Naxi, Yugur, Tu and other ethnic groups. They localized the story and formed a heroic epic that all ethnic groups highly admire. As a result, "Gesar" originated in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and then spread to all ethnic groups and regions and even to the surrounding areas in cross-border and cross-cultural contexts. It has become a cultural treasure that witnessed the long-term exchanges and exchanges between Tibetans and other ethnic groups, and has also become an important cultural heritage shared by China and countries and regions along the Belt and Road Initiative.

  Since 1950s, our government has included the collection and arrangement of Gesar in the national cultural protection work sequence, which can be said to give it a "second life". On this basis, since the beginning of this century, the country has vigorously advocated and practiced the concept of intangible cultural heritage protection, which has further protected, inherited and developed Gesar, and opened a new connection and dialogue with the world based on the local conditions.

  Grand narrative tradition

  As a masterpiece of folk literature, Gesar is a grand narrative epic created by the Tibetan people and still in live transmission, representing the highest achievement of ancient Tibetan folk culture. It tells the story of King Gelsall, a hero, who devoted himself to saving the living beings, leading the "Lingguo" tribe to subdue demons, restrain the strong and help the weak, and promote people to live in harmony and build a beautiful home. It comprehensively reflects the ancient features of history, society, religion, customs, morality and culture of Tibetans and other ethnic groups, and is an important carrier of local knowledge, ethnic memory, folk wisdom and mother tongue expression.

  Like other national epics and folk literature works, Gesar has two basic ways of dissemination: first, it is preserved and disseminated by manuscripts and woodcuts; Second, it is passed on by the people, especially the excellent inheritors. The successor of Gesar, the rapper, is called "Zhongken" and "Zhongwow" in Tibetan, which means the storyteller. It is by virtue of the outstanding oral artistic talents of "Zhongken" and "Zhongwa" from generation to generation that Gesar has been passed down for thousands of years in the vast plateau agricultural and pastoral areas, spread widely among the people, and even become a part of their daily lives.

  When folk artists sing, they often sum up the main content of Gesar in three sentences: "The heaven above sent envoys to earth, and there were various disputes in the middle world, and the hell below completed the karma." It can be seen that the whole epic consists of three parts: heroes descending to earth, surrendering demons and stabilizing the world. Its scale is generally described by more than 1 million lines, more than 20 million words and more than 170 texts in academic circles. It is well-deserved to be one of live transmission’s epics with the longest length and the largest scale in the world, and it can be called the "world epic crown". As far as the system is concerned, in fact, these are only approximate figures, because Gesar is a living epic, and its length and connotation are constantly breaking through with the improvisation of singers. Gesar, as we see it today, is a grand narrative tradition with vast text content, complex discourse structure, diverse genre forms and numerous ways of inheritance, which is spread across nationalities, borders and cultural circles.

  This "encyclopedic" great epic also witnessed the exchanges and cultural creativity of all ethnic groups in China. It is not only the source of inspiration for the creation of traditional folk art such as Thangka, Tibetan opera and singing, but also the source of modern art such as literature, film and television, dance, music and fine arts, which has greatly promoted the prosperity and development of various literary and artistic forms. In the process of the spread of Gesar, the languages, religious beliefs and values of all ethnic groups have had a profound impact on it. At the same time, it has continuously absorbed the cultures of all ethnic groups and enriched its own content and connotation.

  Looking back at the beginning of the formation of Gesar, like many folk stories, it seems to be a story born out of history (with history as its theme) and spread among the people in the form of legend. Then, how did this legendary, scaly-clawed folk story develop into a grand narrative work and then become a spectacular narrative tradition?

  The epic text of Gesar consists of three different genres, namely, historical genre, mythical genre and artistic genre. Among them, historical genre is the basis of epic genre, but in the later oral context, it constantly experienced the process of "de-historicization", and gradually merged into mythical and artistic images, and finally built an "epic building". Most of the other epics in the world originated from real history or took history as the background. Comparing the texts of Gesar in different times, we will find that the early texts are close to the objective reality, although they are legendary; Later texts have a strong mythical color; However, the text produced in recent years has a strong Buddhist color, which has generally gone through three stages: historical experience (original historical narrative), historical myth and then myth art. In China, it is not uncommon for myths to be historicized. As far as Tibetans are concerned, the history before the period of Tubo Songzan Gambo in the 7th century A.D. can be regarded as oral mythical history to some extent. This also shows that only when history is mythologized can it spread fire for the birth of epic.

  According to the literature, Gesar is a historical figure. He was born in the first half of the 11th century in a tribe called Lingguo on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, that is, the dege county-Ezhi area in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. His real life scene before his death is described in detail in the 14th century’s History of the Lang Family. The map of the Tang Dynasty in the Atlas of Chinese History, edited by Mr. Tan Qixiang, clearly marked the location of "Ling", indicating that the tribe was already famous at that time. Thus, Gesar, as a historical figure with flesh and blood, laid the foundation for the text of Gesar. Subsequently, from the original historical narrative to the mythical narrative, Gesar changed from man to god, and the historical text gradually evolved into an epic text.

  In this process, many important events in Tibetan history formed intertextual relations with Gesar, which became important materials for molding epic texts. From a macro point of view, the time and space view of the whole epic refers to the historical events, social events, folk traditions, military achievements, etc. of Tibetans moving from a scattered tribal society to a unified Tubo society. With the progress of cross-culture, Gesar borrowed many concepts and terms referring to social and cultural events in Tibetan history. For example, taking "Zong" (the county-level administrative organization in ancient Tibet) as the basic narrative unit, it is often used to describe and divide the units of epic stories with 18 major sects, 18 middle sects, 18 minor sects or 64 minor sects. In addition, it was also integrated into many historical events at that time, including the dispute between Buddhism and benzene, the mutual struggle between Tibetan local forces in the Tubo period and the post-Honghu period, etc. However, this intertextuality uses mythical and artistic methods. Although the mythical text has not yet reached the level of a masterpiece, the story model and basic structure have been formed, and there have been chapters such as Birth, Horse Racing as King, Huoling War, Jiangling War, Menling and Moling. In this regard, scholar Yang Yi put forward: "In a long period of time, due to the nurturing of various cultural factors and the genius creation of the artist’s mind and soul, (Gesar) has been sprouted from a limited number of original works, full of vitality, expanded into a department, and was born outside the department. Only by subduing the evil part, it has derived 18 large pieces and 18 small pieces, and absorbed the rich wisdom of the nation.Finally, it is more than 100 in length. "

  Gesar learned from and absorbed Buddhist culture in the early stage of its gestation and birth, and was able to turn a chrysalis into a butterfly, with a gorgeous turn from a fairy tale to a grand narrative. Although the Buddhist thought was gradually strengthened in the later Gesar text, its artistic essence never changed. Buddhism, as an artistic means, has created the evolution process of Gesar from perceptual to rational, from the experience level to the concept level, which has played an important role in the leap from myth to art and provided a philosophical basis for the transition from metaphor to symbol level. No matter in the stage of historical myth or mythological art, the evolution of Gesar’s text takes artistic imagination as the starting point and poetic thinking as the logical origin of epic narration, which promotes the formation of the core values and concepts recognized by all ethnic groups in China, such as the feelings of home and country, the way to help the world, equality, freedom and justice.

  It is precisely because of its lofty characteristics and grand thoughts that the epic Gesar can spread and develop across regions, nationalities, borders and cultures. In the 11th and 12th centuries, after the formation of the hinterland of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the Three Rivers as the core, Gesar continued to radiate outward, forming a "core area" and a "radiation area" at the regional and geographical levels, as well as a huge epic spread belt across the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Mongolian Plateau and the Pamirs, which became an important part of the multi-ethnic cultural circle in the Himalayas. With the footsteps of pilgrims and business travelers on the ancient tea-horse road, with the forgetfulness of rappers, especially with the continuous expansion and deepening of exchanges and exchanges between various ethnic groups, Gesar has gradually spread to more and further places from the junction of Tibet, Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and other provinces and regions in China.

  Nowadays, Gesar is widely spread and influential among Tibetan, Mongolian, Tu, Yugu, Dongxiang, Sala, Naxi, Qiang, Menba, Luoba, Pumi, Bai, Dulong and Lisu in seven provinces and regions. In addition, Nepal, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Mongolia, Russia and other countries and regions have also spread. In other words, it has formed an international circulation belt along the "Belt and Road", becoming a beautiful landscape in the history of world cultural exchange and epic territory, and an important witness to the exchange and mutual learning of human civilization and cultural creativity.

How to "avoid traffic jams" during the "May 1" holiday? Please keep this guide.

  People’s Daily Online, Beijing, April 29 (Reporter Qiao Xuefeng) The "May Day" holiday is coming. The reporter learned from the Ministry of Transport that from April 30 to May 4, small passenger cars with less than 7 seats (including 7 seats) are free to pass toll roads. The specific free passage period starts at 0: 00 on April 30 (Saturday) and ends at 24: 00 on May 4 (Wednesday), and vehicles are free to leave the toll booth.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport, the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport, together with the Road Network Center and other units, has formed a national road network operation analysis report based on the comprehensive operation characteristics of the road network during the May 1 holiday and the current situation of epidemic prevention and control in China, which has made a judgment on the operation characteristics of the road network during the May 1 holiday.

  The report pointed out that due to factors such as regional epidemic prevention and control, the operation of the national highway network will show five characteristics, such as a significant decline in traffic, an increase in congestion, an increase in the proportion of trucks, a large regional difference, and obvious tidal characteristics.

  At present, the situation of epidemic prevention and control in China is still complicated and severe, and all localities strictly organize and implement prevention and control. Many provinces advocate that holidays should not leave the province or leave the city unless necessary, and public travel will be greatly restrained. The report predicts that during the May 1 ST period, the average daily traffic of expressways in China will be about 27 million vehicles, which is 49% lower than that during the May 1 ST holiday in 2021 (52.92 million vehicles) and 40% lower than that during the May 1 ST holiday in 2020 (45.28 million vehicles).

  It is estimated that the daily average cross-sectional traffic volume of trunk highways in ordinary countries and provinces will decrease by about 18%-22% compared with 2021 and by about 12%-16% compared with 2020.

  Due to the need of epidemic prevention and control, in some areas, more than 12,000 epidemic prevention and control inspection stations have been set up in the outer square of expressway toll stations, provincial boundaries and municipal boundaries of ordinary highways. Due to the concentrated travel time of the public during the festival, there will be short-term congestion or slow traffic in the sections near the epidemic prevention inspection points, but there will be no long-term and large-scale traffic congestion.

  With the gradual implementation of logistics requirements, the freight traffic has been on the rise recently. It is estimated that during the holiday period, the daily average freight traffic will be 5 million vehicles, accounting for about 18% of the daily average freight traffic, which is about 8 percentage points higher than that in 2021 (10.48% of the daily average freight traffic).

  Due to the different scope and degree of epidemic spread, the traffic flow between different regions is quite different, with the traffic flow in the Yangtze River Delta region dropping sharply, and the relative traffic flow in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Chengdu-Chongqing regions is relatively high.

  Most provinces advocate not leaving the province or leaving the city unless necessary. Considering the public’s demand for holiday travel, it is expected that the holiday will be mainly in the suburbs, showing a tidal feature centered on the regional central city, and the departure and return from the city have strong directionality in time and flow direction, showing a certain degree of "tidal" phenomenon. At the beginning of the holiday, every morning, the traffic in the direction of leaving the city in each regional central city is large; At the end of the holiday and every afternoon, there is a lot of traffic in the direction of entering the city.

  During the holiday period, the average daily traffic of expressways in the "four poles" region was about 16.8 million vehicles, which was about 46% lower than that in 2021. The traffic in the Yangtze River Delta region decreased the most, reaching about 73%, and the traffic in Chengdu-Chongqing region decreased by about 16%, with the smallest decline.

  Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. It is estimated that the average daily traffic of expressways in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region during the holidays is about 4.2 million vehicles, which is about 45% lower than that in 2021 (7.71 million vehicles) and about 38% lower than that in 2020 (6.86 million vehicles). During the holidays, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region mainly travels in the suburbs, visiting relatives and friends, and the expressways around Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang and other cities show a trend of "leaving the city in the morning and entering the city in the afternoon", and the traffic flow is still dominated by passenger cars. It is estimated that the daily average passenger traffic of expressways is about 3.6 million, and the daily average truck traffic is about 600,000.

  Yangtze river delta region. The overall epidemic situation in the Yangtze River Delta region is grim. Since April 11th, Shanghai has implemented classified and differentiated control management according to three categories: closed control area, control area and prevention area. The characteristics of multi-source and multi-point epidemic in Zhejiang province are still persistent; Anhui advocates that the public should not leave the province or leave the city unless necessary; Jiangsu, Suzhou and other municipal districts further upgraded epidemic prevention and control measures, and advocated non-essential non-flow. It is estimated that the holiday trips will be significantly reduced, and the daily average traffic of expressways is about 3.1 million, which is about 73% lower than that of 2021 (11.43 million vehicles) and about 66% lower than that of 2020 (9.04 million vehicles). It is estimated that the daily average passenger traffic of the expressway is about 2.2 million, and the daily average truck traffic is about 800,000.

  Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. At present, the production and living order in Greater Bay Area has basically been restored, but the epidemic prevention and control is still cautious. It is expected that long-distance travel and inter-provincial travel during holidays will still be greatly suppressed, while short-and medium-distance travel in Zhou Bianyou and local areas in the province may still recover. Generally speaking, the number of trips in Greater Bay Area during the holidays will be less than that in previous years. The average daily traffic of expressways is about 5.6 million, which is about 25% lower than that in 2021 (7.51 million) and about 10% lower than that in 2020 (6.15 million). It is estimated that buses are still the main road trips, with the daily average passenger traffic of expressways being about 4.5 million and the daily average truck traffic being about 900,000.

  Chengdu-Chongqing area. It is estimated that the daily average traffic of Chengdu-Chongqing regional expressways is about 3.8 million vehicles, which is about 16% lower than that in 2021 (4.63 million vehicles) and basically the same as that in 2020 (3.84 million vehicles). It is estimated that the daily average passenger traffic of expressway is about 3.5 million, and the daily average truck traffic is about 400,000.

  The report also conducted research on congested road sections, toll stations and service areas. The report pointed out that it is expected that the traffic congestion after 14: 00 on the day before the holiday (April 29) will be significantly higher than daily. The first day of the holiday (April 30th) is the peak travel time, and the peak time is from 9: 00 to 12: 00, and the peak time appears from 10: 00 to 11: 00. The overall traffic pressure on the trip is higher than that on the return trip. The high-speed return journey is scattered. On May 3rd, the return journey was relatively concentrated, with the peak from 15: 00 to 19: 00, and the peak appeared at 16: 00 to 17: 00.

  Easy-to-jam slow-moving sections. During the holiday period, it is expected that the outbound and inbound sections of the national expressways will be prone to congestion and slow down, as shown in the following table.

  In terms of weather, it is expected that sunny to cloudy weather will prevail in most areas and most of the time during the May Day holiday this year, with good overall diffusion conditions and no large-scale foggy weather. However, it is necessary to take precautions against the adverse effects on highway traffic caused by strong precipitation in Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Tibet, and low visibility weather caused by sand blowing or floating dust weather in eastern and southern Xinjiang basins, central and western Inner Mongolia and western Gansu.

  It is estimated that from April 30th to May 2nd, due to the moderate rain, some sections of expressways such as Beijing-Taiwan, Quannan, Shanghai-Kunming, Lanhai and Shanghai-Chongqing and national highways such as G224, G317, G318 and G213 in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, Chongqing and Yunnan are at high risk of slippery. Affected by heavy rain, the risk of water accumulation in some sections of expressways such as Shenhai, Jiguang, Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao, Baomao, Guangkun and Shankun in Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Hunan, Guangxi and Yunnan is high. In addition, from April 30th to May 1st and May 4th, due to the influence of sand blowing or floating dust, there is a high risk of low visibility in some sections of Erguang and Lianhuo expressways and G315 national highway in Inner Mongolia, Gansu and Xinjiang.

Golden Rooster Award Special Planning | Film technical workers hiding behind the scenes


1905 movie network news Golden roosters and crows, striding for a new journey. "Today’s Film Review" specially plans a series of programs for the 35th Golden Rooster Award of Chinese films, and pays attention to the film technical workers who are hidden behind the scenes nominated by this Golden Rooster Award. These photographers, artists and sound recorders who work behind the scenes of movies are often little known. What efforts have they made behind the scenes to get the frame-by-frame light and shadow presented on the big screen?


Once the nomination list of the 35th Chinese Golden Rooster Award was announced, it triggered a wide-ranging discussion. In addition to the selection of the best film and the best actor and actress, there are some awards that can be said to be unpopular in the film festival, such as the best photography award, the best recording award, the best art award and other technical awards. These awards may be unfamiliar to the audience, but they are full of weight for the film industry practitioners.



Shadan, a film critic, said: "The Golden Rooster Award, as the most well-known award in China, is a very important moment to bring out these behind-the-scenes heroes, because the art form of film is considered to be a more humanistic creation, but in fact, it has been developing a lot of technology since its birth, supporting the continuous presentation and perfection of this art, and there are many heroes behind it that you may not be so familiar with, but now we can enjoy such a perfect film form, and there are many efforts of these big coffees.



What is pleasing to the eye and immersive is really a matter for a reason and a matter for someone. In this list, there are about four to five films for each award, which are carefully selected from the cinema films of the past year. For example, the films nominated for the photography awards have taken the lead at the beginning, climbing up from the bottom of a building with a particularly eye-catching long lens, and the audience has also read the scenes of educating children in every household with the camera’s perspective. This scheduling needs to make the film show a huge amount of information in one shot, and this information needs a large number of actors and behind-the-scenes staff to cooperate with the camera, and finally popularize the theme of children in the film and let the audience see the film from one shot.



It can be said that the photographer is the eyes of the director or a movie, and in the new era, filming is increasingly testing the photographer’s imagination. For example, the visual effect of the film is completely built in the shed, and photography should realize the director’s design from scratch in this process, which is well reflected in Moon Man, from the formation of art design and stunt to the final collocation of photography. Shadan mentioned: "The visual shock of Moon Man’s fine arts is very strong, and the treatment of the color block is very eye-catching. The main part is divided into two parts: blue and yellow. You can imagine that these two colors represent the earth and the moon, and they are interspersed with each other. Through such a very eye-catching collocation, everyone can quickly feel that this is a story about the connection between the moon and the earth." That’s true, and blue usually reminds people of sci-fi themes, while yellow gives people a sense of comedy. The two color systems not only explain the theme to the audience, but also show their own types of sci-fi comedies.



In this nomination list for the best art, besides Moon Man and Mozart in Outer Space, there are also such low-cost works, which can be nominated and compete with several blockbusters, so it must have its own uniqueness in the art scene. The film is a script game in a closed space, and there are not so many scenes in it, so we should make a strong contrast between the villas in different time and space in the film. With the development of the whole incident, the once prosperous villas gradually declined, and the artists made some ingenious designs and placed many withered and black plants, which on the one hand separated time and space itself, and also showed that the theme of the film was moving towards suspense and darkness step by step. This kind of detail processing plays a great role in the audience’s inner hints.



Film is not only a visual expression, but also a sound expression. Sound design is very important in the film, and it is also a well-designed detail for the audience to be there and hear the film in the cinema. When filming, it’s not just to record the live sound directly, it’s just a part of the radio, and the actual production needs a lot of complicated processes and some artistic design. Many sounds are not recorded on the set, but simulated in various ways.



Shadan mentioned: "This film was shortlisted for the best recording award. Anita Mui is a person who is particularly good at singing, so songs are the most important element in this film. However, it can’t be said that Anita Mui’s voice is not used at all, and Wang Danni’s voice is completely similar to Anita Mui’s, which requires a lot of skills. Wang Danni performed the farewell performance in "Anita Mui", a heavy scene in the Red Survey Gymnasium. She mixed the original soundtrack of Anita Mui with the voice that was later sung again. Everyone sounded like the original soundtrack, but it was actually sung by the actors themselves, which was seamless. Let everyone feel that at this moment, Anita Mui’s spirit and voice reappeared again in Wang Danni’s interpretation. "



The finalists of this year’s Golden Rooster Award represent the responsibility and responsibility of filmmakers in the new era to strut, work hard and move forward bravely. In the next journey, every filmmaker needs to constantly create films that are closer to people’s lives according to the main theme of the times and express good stories in audio-visual language. Such an important award, represented by the Golden Rooster Award, is not only to commend the traditional awards such as the best film and the best director that everyone is most concerned about, but also to gather together at this time for a grand commendation for all kinds of jobs, because every link plays a very important role in whether the future film creation can develop better and meet the needs of the audience.


Every gram of gold approaches 720 yuan’s hoarders, who are busy cashing in gold.

"It’s gone up again!" The price of pure gold jewelry has been soaring, and now it is approaching the 720 yuan/gram mark, and its fierce rise has made many consumers call it "incomprehensible". Gold, which is rising by one price a day, is "persuading" consumers.

On April 6th, the topic "Big hoarders are busy realizing gold" rushed to Weibo for hot search, which aroused widespread concern.

One price one day

Large hoarders of gold have realized in succession.

International gold prices soared again on Friday, with spot gold prices rising 1.5% to $2,324.15 per ounce, hitting a record high of $2,330.06 in intraday trading.

Although the data released on the same day showed that the non-farm employment growth in the United States was strong in March, which further cooled the market’s bet on the probability of the Fed’s interest rate cut in June, the price of gold obviously did not suffer too much negative impact. After a short correction, it rose all the way, and it stood at the $2,300 mark for the first time in history.

In the past 10 days, the price of gold has risen in 9 days, and it has risen in 6 weeks in the past 7 weeks.

Gold prices have soared in the international market, and domestic basic gold prices have also reached a high level. The retail price of many domestic brands of gold jewelry is also close to 720 yuan per gram.

On April 7th, the retail listing price of gold jewelry in Zhou Shengsheng has soared to 719 yuan/gram, while Chow Tai Fook and Chaohongji were 718 yuan/gram and 718 yuan/gram respectively, both of which increased by 15 yuan compared with 703 yuan/gram on the 3rd.

According to CCTV financial report, many gold jewelry wholesalers have gathered in Zhaoyuan, Shandong recently. In terminal stores, buyers are particularly cautious about buying gold jewelry. In terms of choosing styles, buyers have changed their choice from traditional crafts to fashionable jewelry with national tide culture as the element. In some offline gold jewelry stores, enameled gold jewelry with exquisite craftsmanship and colorful colors has also won the favor of consumers.

With the rising price of gold, the repurchase of offline large quantities of gold raw materials has become the "highlight", and many "big hoarders" have chosen to sell at the high price of gold. While the online repurchase of gold raw materials is hot, many gold shops have also opened online repurchase models.

The person in charge of an online gold repurchase business said, "We allow consumers to realize the rapid realization of gold by means of subsidizing the issuance of coupons, free mailing, and preferential handling fees, among which the maximum online gold recovery in a single day reached more than 3,000 grams."

According to the first financial report, consumers’ enthusiasm for buying gold has declined recently. During the Qingming small holiday, the brand gold shops in several shopping malls in Shanghai only had customers in twos and threes, and some gold ornaments counters were also empty. After the inquiry, only a few consumers who were looking at accessories in the store said that the price was too high, "It’s too boring to buy now."

The "buying gold fever" continued, and some bank gold bars were out of stock. According to Red Star News, on April 4th, the staff of Chunxi Road Pedestrian Street Sub-branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China said that the shortage of gold bars had been going on for about a month, and now it was necessary to make an appointment to buy them.

Gold recycling enthusiasm is high.

Investment should not blindly follow suit

Gold investment has always been regarded as a relatively stable way of wealth appreciation. The huge fluctuation of the price of gold has also led to a rise in the volume and price of gold recovery. According to Chengdu Daily, a gold shop clerk said that after this round of price increase, the consulting volume and recycling volume increased significantly, and many investors hoped to cash in when the price of gold rose.

However, compared with the soaring price of gold ornaments, the price difference of gold recycling is large. Take Chow Tai Fook as an example. At present, the gold recovery price is 524 yuan/gram, which is 194 yuan per gram compared with the price of 718 yuan/gram. Even according to the discounted price, there is a price difference of 145 yuan per gram. If a customer buys a 50-gram bracelet and chooses to sell it, it will lose more than 7000 yuan.

According to industry insiders, for ordinary consumers, gold jewelry consumption and gold investment are completely different.

Investors should first understand the price of gold. Generally speaking, the listed gold price of a gold shop can be divided into jewelry gold, investment gold and recovery gold. Different brands have different gram prices of jewelry gold, but jewelry gold is often the highest gram price. The price of investment gold bars is relatively low. If you want to invest in gold, you need to have basic relevant knowledge and fully understand the precious metal market before you can enter the market.

Therefore, although gold consumption is hot, it is not advisable to blindly hoard goods and follow the trend of "buying gold".

For the market outlook, the China Gold Association said that the resilience of gold prices reflects to some extent investors’ expectations that the Fed will eventually cut interest rates this year. In addition, the increasing geopolitical uncertainty has also enhanced the attractiveness of gold as a safe-haven asset. Finally, the steady buying of gold by global official departments so far this year has provided solid support for the reserve price of gold. "After entering the second half of 2024, once the Fed starts to cut interest rates and releases the signal that it will further accelerate the pace of monetary easing in 2025, the price of gold is expected to regain its upward trend." China Gold Association said.

Original title: skyrocketing! Every gram approaches 720 yuan, and the "big family" is busy realizing it.

There is no case that he can’t solve! "Conan took me to increase my knowledge"

 

In addition to the return of the handsome Kidd in Detective Conan: The Boxing of the Qing Dynasty, the sweet and abusive feelings of a new Xiaolan, and the big scene of blowing up Singapore, many viewers have revisited Conan’s crime-solving genius after watching this film. In this film, Conan once again identifies the innocent villain from the tiny details at the critical moment. Many fans began to sum up Conan’s solved cases and all kinds of cold knowledge involved in the process of solving them, such as "the surgeon has an oblique mark on his finger, because the surgeon usually ties a thin thread with the forefinger of both hands during the operation, so the oblique mark will be left at the front end of the forefinger" and "the tannic acid contained in black tea will clean the wound now, so as to neutralize the toxin, which is the best emergency when bitten by sea snakes. …

How old is Conan? "He is our eternal youth"

Some fans are unwilling to think rationally about Conan’s age: "How old is Conan? This depends on what you think in your heart! Wukong of Dragon Ball, Nobita of Doraemon and Conan, they have been living in their own spatial latitude, and there is no need to calculate according to our world! No need, my answer: forever January 8, 1996! "

 

But there are more fans who agree with the saying, "Conan will always be a first-grade pupil in my heart!" So no matter how old he is, he is my childhood, like my friend, so he is as old as I am in my heart! "

 

Recently, someone wrote in a film review, "In 1998, I first met Conan from TV. At that time, I was 10 years old and Conan was 7 years old; Now, Detective Conan has aired 1000 episodes and shown 23 theatrical editions. I am over 30 years old and Conan is still 7 years old. I hope Conan will never grow up, and he will always be a detective boy who hides behind a voice changer to solve crimes. Looking at him, it seems that my youth will never leave.

 

Indeed, the famous detective Conan series has accompanied us for more than 20 years and gathered too many fans all over the world. Every year, a new theatrical film has become a festival agreed by fans. The 23rd theatrical film Detective Conan: Boxing of the Qing Dynasty is still being shown in China, so fans in China, accompanied by this film, expect that Conan will continue to explore the truth in the adult world with us in the age of peace.
