＂Toilet Hero＂ reveals the ultimate warning of the women’s toilet revolution.

1905 movie network news In the past two years, Indian films such as Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, Japanese films, etc. When talking about these films, most viewers will mention the traditional Indian thought of "men are superior to women" reflected in them. Now, a more straightforward film about gender conflict in India will be released soon. Li Yinhe, a well-known sociologist, said sincerely after watching it: "I recommend this Indian film to you with a feeling of not wanting to eat alone. I hope people can see how good-looking movies Indians have been able to make."

The ultimate preview exposed today shows that the divorce of newlyweds because of the toilet has aroused national concern, and the women’s toilet revolution is on the verge. At present, the film has been pre-sold on major ticketing platforms and will be released nationwide on June 8.

Divorce without a toilet　

The contradiction between wonderful husband and wife leads to national discussion

"Toilet Hero" is adapted from a real event, which tells the story of Indian bride Jaye (Bhumi Pednekar) who married Keshav (akshay kumar) and found that there was no toilet at home and insisted on divorce, which finally set off a women’s toilet revolution. In the poster exposed this time, Keshav and Jaye took a selfie with a smile in front of the toilet at home, which seemed to indicate the victory of the women’s toilet revolution. However, the notice was in sharp contrast with the poster. A toilet triggered a snowball chain reaction, and the divorce case between Jaye and Keshav became more and more serious, which was reported by TV stations, discussed at village meetings and even attracted the attention of government agencies.

As we all know, there has always been a traditional idea that men are superior to women in India. The film concentrates this idea in a small toilet. The main creative team once said: "The biggest problem in India is that about 30% of families don’t have toilets, and women must go to the fields to go to the toilet one or two hours before sunrise. For women, this custom brings not only health problems, but also dangers like kidnapping. "

Indian womanSexual consciousness awakening

A nation that changed its country with movies.

Faced with such a difficult problem, the heroine Jaye angrily asked: "Don’t women even have the right to go to the toilet at home?" Women who once accepted carrying lanterns to go to the toilet in the wild every morning also questioned: "Why are such rules made, and why are they only targeted at women?" At this moment, the traditional concept that men are superior to women in the film was broken, and the husband and wife broke through and turned into a war of women’s rights, and the toilet revolution was on the verge. "Toilet Hero" puts the issue of women’s rights on the table through "toilet", a problem that everyone has to face.

Well-known movies commented from the media "sir movies": "With a toilet, all the difficulties of Indian women have been spread out. The incision is extremely small, but the agitation is extremely deep. Usually we always talk about Indian men, but many blockbusters in India in recent years are really caring for Indian women. " I have to say that Indian movies are very good at subtly changing people’s ideas by showing small things in life. Although "Toilet Hero" takes comedy love as its presentation form, it is by no means just a cookie. After the film was released, many Indian women saw the possibility of changing their rights and actively participated in the movement to change women’s rights. As Keshav, the leading actor, said — — Nothing is impossible.

　

The movie "The Hero of the Toilet" directed by Shree Narayan Singh and starring akshay kumar and Bhumi Pednekar will land in the mainland cinema on June 8th, and is currently being pre-sold on major ticketing platforms.

330,000 to buy a eliminated police dog, what did you buy？

The following article comes from liquid youth, written by Gao Min Pang Bo.

Understand the real world and see the complicated life. It’s all produced now

"In the world of police dogs, the importance of obeying orders is far greater than your own life and death."

"330,000 for the third time, congratulations!" After saying his word, the people sitting on Mazza exclaimed and applauded, and stood up to look at the man holding the C289 auction number plate-the highest auction price for the elimination of dogs by China Criminal Police College on July 7.

The auction lasted from 10: 00 a.m. to around 13: 00 a.m., attracting more than 1,000 people from all over the country, and all 54 dogs eliminated from the police academy were sold within a few hours. The highest price is the aforementioned German shepherd, and the lowest price is more than 20,000 yuan.

As early as June 22nd, official website, China Criminal Police College, issued the Announcement on the Sale of Out-of-date Dogs, saying that the trained dogs that were eliminated from the examination would be sold. They are concentrated in 2-3 years old, most of them are German shepherds, but also springer, horse dogs and so on. The reasons for elimination involve "soft ears", "timidity" and "long hair". This batch of eliminated dogs was also ridiculed as "failure of examination and compilation".

The auction on July 7th pushed the event to Weibo again.

auction

At 8: 20 in the morning, Anna, a native of Shenyang, lined up with her son outside Baishan Road Campus of China Criminal Police College. She hopes to buy the no.32 eliminated dog that she has long liked, which is a gift she promised her son for his sixth birthday.

At this time, people from Beijing, Shandong, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other places have already waited outside. The auction, which was originally planned to start at 9: 30, didn’t start until more than 10 o’clock.

There was a long queue at the scene early. Photo: Respondents

As early as the announcement of the sale of eliminated dogs, Anna started her homework. She found the trainer of No.32 dog and learned that the auction price in previous years was around 2000 yuan. Thinking that this year’s dog auction was a hot search, she specially prepared 30 thousand yuan to bid for the German shepherd "Beibei" that her son saw.

Anna lives in a villa in Shenbei New District outside the Third Ring Road in Shenyang. It is no problem to raise a large dog. There used to be a monkey terrier at home for 16 years. My son has lived with the dog since he was born. After the dog died the year before last, he has been thinking about raising another one. In the cartoon "Wang Wang Team Makes Great Achievements", my son’s favorite Archie is a German shepherd police dog. In this auction, they specially asked for leave from the kindergarten, took the lucky money saved by the children and the original budget of 30 thousand yuan, and went straight to Beibei’s kennel. Beibei in the cage looked at the visitors calmly, and heard them shout "Beibei" and "Ouch".

After the auction began, Anna was dumbfounded directly-the starting price was 200 yuan, and the first selling price was 58,000; Then the price went up all the way. After the most expensive Demu was sold at 330,000, her heart suddenly cooled. When it was Beibei’s turn, she held the card for the last time at the price of 31,000 yuan, and finally watched Beibei being taken away by the buyer who offered 70,000 yuan.

The 33-year-old racing driver Xiaobing flew from Zhengzhou, Henan Province to Shenyang, more than 1,000 kilometers away, to participate in the auction on the evening of July 6. His budget is also about 30 thousand yuan. When the fifth shot was 151,000, he felt that he was definitely hopeless.

It’s not just buyers who are affected by the auction. The insider told Quan that there were not many people who participated in the auction in previous years, and many eliminated dogs would be bought by teachers, students or trainers of the school and kept by themselves. But this time it was so popular that it was impossible for the trainer to buy back the dog he trained.

"Bao cried sadly. She was six years old and never cried so much because of anything," Anna described in Weibo. She had an appointment with the trainer on the 32nd, and after she photographed Beibei, she would take it to see the trainer at the weekend. But it backfired. Anna saw at the scene that many trainers had red eyes.

train

The reason why the police dog auction has attracted attention is related to its pure pedigree, stable personality and strict selection and training. Puppies born in non-police dog breeding units will miss the "post" of police dogs for life.

In 2011, the Ministry of Public Security issued the Regulations on the Technical Work of Police Dogs in Public Security Organs. Article 24 stipulates that "the breeding of police dogs shall be carried out in a two-level breeding system under unified national management. The police dog base and research institute directly under the Ministry of Public Security are the first-class police dog breeding units of the Ministry of Public Security, and the provincial police dog base that has passed the assessment of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security is the second-class police dog breeding unit. "

The training of police dogs begins at an early age. According to the Southern Network, a police dog has been trained since it was born 6 to 8 months ago to cultivate basic feelings and cognition. At the bilibili, a police dog handler named "Police Dog Dung Officer" showed a picture in the juvenile training-in front of a one-person-high shelf, the handler took a group of pony dogs and used a tennis ball tied with a rope to attract the puppies to walk up and through the wooden frame one by one. The puppy is excited and hobbled, and some timid people will inevitably fall off the shelf, and sometimes the trainer will reach out and touch his head to comfort him.

In an interview with Netease’s "Human World", a dog trainer said that puppies will have corresponding assessment items every month. When they are 3 months old, they should understand simple passwords such as "coming" and entering and leaving the dog cage, and they can chase what the dog trainer throws. When you are 4 months old, you should be able to listen to orders and grab things, take the initiative to find a hidden dog trainer and adapt to the touch of strangers.

Followed by a basic training for about 3 months to establish a "tacit understanding" between people and dogs. In the work of "Police Dog Dung Officer", a trained horse dog will make different postures according to the trainer’s gestures, and these obedience categories include remote command, delivery, barking, refusal to eat, progress, obstacles and so on. Taking the title as an example, the trainer will take the pole to train the small police dog’s desire to take the title, and sometimes he will deliberately train around strangers to exercise the courage of the small police dog.

In the future, these obedience training will enable police dogs to complete actions that ordinary dogs can’t achieve. "In the world of police dogs, the importance of obeying orders is far greater than your own life and death." A policeman who claimed to have five years of police dog training experience said.

After 8 months of training, most police dogs have their own professional direction, and each major needs different learning time. According to Beijing Youth Daily, it only takes about three months of training for snow search, material evidence search and drug search to meet the job requirements initially, plus about four weeks of "internship" to get on the job; It takes 10 months to track dogs; The direction of criminal investigation will take longer training, which takes 6 to 8 months-which means that it will be more than 2 years old when it officially starts working.

Xiaobing is aiming at the strict standards and training of police dogs. He thought, "Even if they are not admitted to civil servants, after training, their character and obedience must be of high standards."

03

eliminate

To become a police dog, elimination is necessary. According to Beijing Youth Daily, a batch of dogs will face a 35% elimination rate until the training is completed. The batch auctioned on July 7 is only the dogs eliminated in the first stage.

Elimination begins at birth-during the transition period from birth to two months, the staff will pick out unsuitable dogs. Puppies with poor development and worrying health will be eliminated at this stage.

Inappropriateness is reflected in both physique and personality. According to the report of Southern Network, when puppies play together, the dog trainer will observe their state. Dogs that are bold and like to compete will be "retained"; And those puppies who are not competitive and timid will be eliminated. The elimination rate of this step is only 5%.

The whole training session lasts about 120 days. At this time, those puppies with poor working ability will be "advised off", accounting for about 15%. At the same time, the dog trainer will also observe and determine the puppies’ talents-some of them are more suitable for smelling and others are more suitable for seeing. In the subsequent training, 10% of the dogs will only be eliminated.

Of the 54 eliminated dogs in China Criminal Police College, 9 were eliminated because of "cowardice". They are either afraid because they are too timid to see outsiders; Either you can’t bite, and these are not suitable for working dogs.

As for the "external inhibition" in the reasons for elimination, it refers to the strong inhibitory performance after being stimulated by external stimuli. Xiao Bing, an emergency rescue instructor in sichuan police college, told Quan Xian that this is not necessarily timid, but it has a strong reaction to external stimuli, which is not conducive to accurately completing instructions or completing action tasks as required.

Sometimes, appearance is also very important. The reason for the elimination of "soft ears" is generally aimed at Demu, a variety with erect ears. As the name implies, the ears hang down and cannot stand up, which may mean genetic defects or genetic problems. Xiao Bing said that as a police dog, pure pedigree and clear pedigree mean strong stability and avoid instability when performing tasks.

Similarly, the "hammer lineage" and "long hair" in the reasons for elimination are just not suitable for appearance characteristics. The former may be impure, while long hair is not easy to maintain, and it is easy to suffer from skin diseases in the face of harsh working environment and is not suitable for performing tasks.

For dog handlers, the growth of puppies is not a stable survival of the fittest, and there will be uncontrollable situations from time to time in this process.

According to the dictation of Xiao Xu, a police dog trainer in Netease’s "The World", he once trained a five-month-old horse dog "Pineapple" and "a handsome and lively family member". But a few months later, this dog, which belongs to the main police dog breed, has a problem-pineapple is timid, and besides biting instructions, it also shows aggression to strangers and other trainers. It needs Xiao Xu to keep an eye on it from time to time to avoid accidents.

Xiao Xu guessed that the problem was a disease that pineapple had had. It used to be sick and infused. At that time, because it was active, the infusion needle always went deep into the meat. The pain remained in pineapple’s memory, making it timid and afraid of the hospital. At that time, because of illness, the time was delayed, and Xiao Xu was also anxious. In the follow-up training, he always mobilized the pineapple very excitedly and developed a bad habit of not listening to the password.

In the end, pineapple failed the examination and lost the qualification to become a police dog. The subordinate unit decided that if there was no problem after being evaluated by police dog training experts, it might be able to stay and become a breeding dog. The police dogs in service can only keep the state of "single dog"-sterilization will affect their fierceness, so only retired or about to retire dogs can have the opportunity to leave their offspring.

The examination and elimination of police dogs is lifelong. Xiao Bing told Quan that his unit basically has an assessment for learning and training every month and quarter. If it fails two or three times, it can only be eliminated. They need to constantly consolidate and review the skills they learned before they can leave a deep imprint. In other words, the police dog’s "learning is lifelong".

secret worry

Say goodbye to the "compiled" police dog, and the final choice is often to return to the family.

According to the report of The Paper, obsolete dogs and retired police dogs from government agencies often choose suitable families to give and adopt. Take Xichuan County, Henan Province as an example, because the special police brigade of the local public security bureau will foster the bitch in a social family, the eliminated puppy will also be returned to the original social family, and the social family will decide its disposal; For retired dogs, the local police will find a suitable adoptive family. As for those retired police dogs who are fierce and strong, they will support the elderly at the base.

Xiao Bing has been teaching for more than ten years. He revealed to Quan that the most common way to deal with it is to send the eliminated police dogs to the key departments such as the explosives depot to guard the door, or to be taken home by the trainers, or to stay at the base for the elderly. "After all, comrades who have worked hard together are distressed and reluctant."

On July 6th, the WeChat public account of Tai ‘an Public Security Bureau issued a notice on the disposal of 28 retired police dogs, in which the retired police dogs were adopted free of charge, while the eliminated police dogs were auctioned in 200 yuan from July 8th to 15th. On the afternoon of July 7, the police officer in charge of contacting the matter told Quan that most dogs had been adopted by insiders or locals.

The above-mentioned police officer said that the original police dogs were raised and managed by the original unit until they died naturally. This year, due to the limited breeding grounds, they were publicly adopted for the first time. Because large dogs are forbidden in most urban areas, there are many adoptions in counties, cities and rural areas, and each one has to pay a field visit, and the original unit will be responsible once it gets sick. Therefore, only local people are encouraged to adopt or bid. Xiaobing insisted on keeping a police dog, and made a special phone call for consultation on the 8 th, and returned disappointed again.

Xiao Bing heard about the police dog auction for the first time. Considering that the other party is a police dog school, the number of eliminated dogs is quite large every year. In his view, with the increase of dogs, this is also an alternative way.

But he inevitably has some concerns. As working dogs, police dogs must be aggressive, and "biting" is one of their compulsory subjects. In other words, it is a kind of biting dog, which needs careful consideration by buyers or adopters. This is also the reason why most police dogs are adopted by trainers-it is easier to control. In addition, the police dogs in the base live in cages, and the surroundings are relatively quiet. It takes time to adapt to the residents’ homes and surrounding environment.

According to previous reports, these "retired police officers" do have different temperament from domestic dogs. In an interview with a reporter from Jiangmen Daily in Guangdong, the trainers of the two police dogs said, "They don’t like touching strangers. They can’t feed them too much. They should get in touch with them slowly. After getting familiar with them, they will stick to you. Love them, accompany them, and remember to take them to play often."

In addition, Xiao Bing told Quan that the possibility that commercial organizations value the pure pedigree of police dogs and use them as breeding dogs is not ruled out, and this is inevitable and requires strict examination of adopters.

According to Jimu News, after the bidding, the adopters signed the Commitment Letter of Eliminating Dog Adoption at the scene, promising to abide by the local government’s regulations on dog raising and raise dogs in a civilized manner during the adoption period; Take corresponding management responsibilities for the adopted dogs, and the adopter shall take full responsibility for the death, injury or injury to others of the dogs; Be kind to recognized dogs, never resell or transfer the dogs, and keep them properly until they die naturally; The adopter voluntarily cooperates to provide personal information related to the dog, and promises not to use the dog to engage in any profit-making behavior.

Anna told Quan that most of the buyers who finally clinched the deal were foreigners. "I feel that the family bought less, and most of them were bought by the eldest brother in their 40 s and 50 s." At the scene, she saw that many buyers were three or four people together. Some people bought it, and people in the same industry would continue to shoot. Many people bought several dogs at a time. "It should be sterilized and auctioned, even if the buyer pays for sterilization. I just hope that they will not be used as breeding dogs. " After reluctantly giving up, she still has vague concerns about the future of No.32.

Ten hottest sectors in mid-year inventory： the defensive sectors such as electricity and banking, which have the strongest theme in the first half of low-altitude economy, have remarkable excess retur

Cailian (Shanghai, editor Zhai Zhehao and Feng Lin) News,Unconsciously, A shares have quietly passed in the first half of 2024. Looking back at the market in the first half of the year, some hot sectors are active. From the data point of view, the total turnover of the two cities reached 100.17 trillion yuan, a decrease of 10.93 trillion yuan compared with the same period in 2023 (111.1 trillion yuan) and a year-on-year decrease of 9.83%.

In terms of overall market size, the market value of listed companies in the first half of this year was 85.00 trillion yuan, which was nearly 1.80 trillion yuan lower than the market value of listed companies at the end of 2023 (86.80 trillion yuan).

In terms of index performance, in the first half of 2024, the Shanghai Composite Index closed at 2,967.40 points, down 0.25% in the first half, with the lowest at 2,635.09 points and the highest at 3,174.27 points. Shenzhen Component Index closed at 8848.70 points, down 7.10%, with the lowest at 7683.63 points and the highest at 9805.92 points. Growth enterprise market index closed at 1683.43 points, down 10.99%, with the lowest at 1482.99 points and the highest at 1926.40 points.

Looking back at the first half of this year, although various concepts are still emerging one after another, synthetic biology, commercial aerospace, synaesthesia integration and so on have come and gone, but only dividends can really achieve a trend increase, the market operation is not satisfactory, and dividend stocks with defensive attributes are fascinating, and many related sub-sectors such as banks, electricity, highways and coal have achieved significant excess returns in the first half of the year. At the same time, the concept of low-altitude economy, as the strongest theme in the first half of the year, stood out from the whole market with an increase of 18.42%, and brought out a number of bull stocks such as Wan Feng Aowei, CITIC Haizhi and Jianxin. In addition, consumer electronics concept stocks such as PCB, AI mobile phone and AIPC also set off an upsurge at the end of the first half of the year, which became a hot spot that investors could not ignore.

How many of the top ten outlets in the first half of 2024 belong to you?

NO.1 low-altitude economy

Low-altitude economy is undoubtedly the most popular theme concept in the first half of this year. Since the two sessions of the National People’s Congress wrote the low-altitude economy into the government work report, local governments in various provinces and cities have intensively issued relevant policies to seize the opportunity period of low-altitude economy development, rapidly promote the deep integration and coordinated development of related industrial chains, and accelerate the landing of low-altitude economy industries. According to the data of "National Three-dimensional Traffic Network Planning Outline", the industrial scale of China’s low-altitude economy will reach 6 trillion yuan by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.6%.

Looking back at the market performance, the concept of low-altitude economy showed a strong profit-making effect in the context of weak market environment in the first half of the year. First of all, from February to March, it went out of a comprehensive main rally, and after a period of correction, it ushered in a second wave of speculation in mid-April. Among them, Wan Feng Aowei’s highest increase in the first half of the year was more than 4 times, and popular stocks such as Rice Information, CITIC Haizhi and Jindun shares also rose by more than 200%.

In addition, with the low-altitude economic bidding in various places in the past three months, the expectation of policy transmission to orders is constantly strengthening. In the second half of the year, the low-altitude economy is expected to shift from the previous conceptual hype to the fundamentals of order landing. In the follow-up, we can still pay attention to the direction in which the pace of industrial trends obviously exceeds expectations in the main links of low-altitude economy such as the whole machine and parts, planning and design, management system and operation.

NO.2 bank

If only from the perspective of one-day increase, the banking sector is easily ignored by the market, but in fact, banking stocks are one of the best directions for the plate effect in the first half of the year, with an overall increase of nearly 20%. The reason is that in 2024, the equity market fluctuated greatly, investors’ risk appetite declined, and funds sought more certain returns. The high dividend yield and extremely low valuation of banking stocks have become the first choice of funds, and the demand for defense in the superimposed market has increased, which has boosted the market performance of the entire banking sector.

From the profit side, the optimization of real estate policy, the promotion of debt package, the repair of bank income statement and the improvement of industry risk expectation will help to support the valuation. In addition, according to the statistics of Industrial Securities, the banking sector is one of the sectors with the highest proportion of passive fund positions, and it has become a direction that has benefited significantly from the expansion of passive funds. In terms of individual stocks, Bank of Nanjing, Bank of Chengdu and Bank of Changshu were among the top gainers, with a half-year increase of over 30%, while the trillion-dollar giant Agricultural Bank also rose by over 25%, while ICBC just hit a new high in the year, with the total market value of A shares and H shares also surpassing Kweichow Moutai.

Looking forward to the performance of the banking sector in the second half of the year, the allocation value of banks as fixed-income assets still exists under the background of asset shortage, and the allocation value of large and medium-sized banks with high dividends is still outstanding at present. At the same time, we should pay attention to the catalysis of steady growth and the effect of real estate policy on regional banks and stock banks.

NO.3 electric power

The power sector also performed well in the first half of the year. In the context of the overall weakness of the index environment, it has stepped out of an independent trend market. And the leading stocks are mostly large market capitalization weights, among which the benchmark stock Changjiang Power has increased by more than 20%, and the current total market capitalization exceeds 700 billion, while China Guangdong Nuclear Power, Guodian Power, SDIC Power and China Nuclear Power have also increased by more than 30% in the first half of this year.

The reason why the power sector can show excess returns. On the one hand, the profitability of thermal power enterprises has been improved by the decline of coal price and the improvement of electricity price, and the performance of 1H24 thermal power continues to improve. At the same time, the promotion of electricity reform policy, such as the landing of capacity price and coal-electricity linkage, has enhanced the performance stability of thermal power enterprises and enhanced the market’s confidence in the thermal power sector. In addition, the abundant cash flow and high dividend-paying ability of related core enterprises also provide defensiveness and attract the group of medium and long-term allocated funds.

Generally speaking, the trend market of power sector is expected to continue into the second half of the year under the resonance of performance improvement, policy support and the defensive characteristics brought by the high dividend of leading enterprises.

NO.4 zhongtegu

In the first half of the cold market, the China Special Appraisal Board, which has the characteristics of "industry leader+large market value+low valuation+high dividend", became the most enthusiastic haven for market funds:

China CNOOC rose by 57.37% in the first half of the year, a record high;

Bank of China rose 15.79% in the first half of the year, a record high;

China Mobile rose 10.49% in the first half of the year, a record high;

In addition, COSCO Haikong, China General Nuclear Power, China Petroleum, China Nuclear Power and China Shenhua all increased by more than 40% in the first half of the year.

From the policy point of view, on January 24th this year, at the press conference of the State Council Press Office, the relevant person in charge said that market value management would be further studied and incorporated into the performance appraisal of the heads of central enterprises, so as to guide the heads of central enterprises to pay more attention to the market performance of listed companies controlled by them. According to the institutional research report, in 2023, the dividend rate of many central enterprises has been significantly improved. Under the policy constraints, it is expected that the market value management measures of listed central state-owned enterprises will be introduced one after another, which will increase the market value management power of central state-owned enterprises and accelerate the repair of valuations.

Looking forward to the second half of the year, a number of brokers, including Western Securities and Founder Securities, said that a "new dumbbell" combination is expected to continue to outperform in the market outlook, that is, one end is "Zhongte Estimate" and the other end is "Cote Estimate". In addition, it does not rule out that the central state-owned enterprises or the fields related to launching a new round of mergers and acquisitions have key technologies that can be controlled independently. Therefore, the directions of advantageous industries, self-control and future industries are also worthy of attention.

NO.5 Sora concept

In February this year, the concept of Sora was born. The so-called Sora is a text-controlled video generation model developed by OpenAl, which can generate high-definition smooth video for 60 seconds according to the text instructions input by users. Analysts said that the introduction of Sora model will promote the innovation of content creation in the media industry, especially in the field of short video, which may bring about the rapid growth of short video production capacity. At the same time, it is also expected to empower other fields, such as film and television/animation, marketing education, games, etc., and promote the development of related industries by improving content production efficiency, innovating content forms and enhancing user experience. In addition, the increase in Sora’s demand for computing power will drive the demand for upstream computing power infrastructure to grow, bringing investment opportunities to related hardware and software companies.

From the market point of view, the emergence of Sora concept once led the application direction of AI software out of a wave of main rising market from February to March. Among them, Wei Haide once walked out of the 20CM 7 board, and the shares of Annoqi and Insai Group also tripled in just one month. However, since the end of March, related concept stocks have fluctuated all the way down. Until recently, it was stimulated by the news that OpenAI would suspend the API port in China, which ushered in a certain degree of rebound. However, with the coming of July, the interim results of listed companies will be intensively disclosed, and the follow-up can focus on which segment of the AI application field is the first to usher in performance cash.

NO.6 coal

The coal sector still maintained a relatively independent trend market in the first half of this year. From the demand side, the demand for energy and electricity remains flexible, and the problem of new energy consumption and the growth of thermal power installed capacity will stimulate the demand for thermal coal. At the same time, the policy of steady economic growth is expected to promote the recovery of domestic demand, and the periodic resonance of replenishment at home and abroad may bring about improvement in demand. On the supply side, the long-term capital expenditure of the coal industry is insufficient, and it is expected that the tight supply of coal will continue. In the boom cycle of the coal industry, the increase in costs and the injection of assets of central state-owned enterprises will highlight the profitability and growth certainty of the sector.

However, it should be noted that the differentiation of coal stocks is obvious, among which Xinji Energy is the strongest, rising by more than 80%, Haohua Energy is not too much, rising by more than 50%, while China Shenhua, Shaanxi Coal Industry and China Coal Energy, which rank the top three in market value, all rise by more than 25%. While stocks such as Anyuan Coal Industry, Lu ‘an Huaneng and mountain coal international dropped significantly. This may be related to the performance growth of individual stocks and the dividend ratio. Therefore, in the context of no major switch in market style in the second half of the year, we should still focus on those leading enterprises with high dividends and stable cash flow.

NO.7 expressway

As an important part of dividend stocks, the expressway sector has strong defensive attributes, and has achieved considerable excess benefits in the downturn of the market. Among them, Shandong Expressway rose by 35.74% in the first half of the year, and Jiangxi-Guangdong Expressway, Wantong Expressway, Sichuan Chengyu Expressway, Nanjing-Shanghai Expressway and Guangdong Expressway A rose by more than 20% in the first half of the year.

From the perspective of dividend yield, over the years, high-speed plate companies generally have a high dividend yield and dividend ratio. The dividend yield of Fujian Expressway has exceeded 8% in the past 12 months, and the dividend yields of Shandong Expressway, Sichuan Chengyu and Guangdong Expressway A have exceeded 4%. Some companies will even raise the dividend ratio for many times. Take Wantong Expressway as an example, the planned dividend ratio is 60% in 2021-2023, and it was originally raised to 70% in 2023-2025 and then raised to 75% again.

In addition to sub-infrared, the reform of future highway laws and regulations is another highlight of the plate. On April 8, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments issued the Management Measures for Franchising Infrastructure and Public Utilities, which came into effect on May 1, 2024. The 2024 edition of the Management Measures stated that "the franchise period should not exceed 40 years in principle, and franchise projects with large investment scale and long return period can be appropriately extended according to actual conditions". Huatai Securities Research Report pointed out that the longest charging period of current operating expressways is 25 years in the east and 30 years in the central and western regions. If the "Regulations on Toll Road Management" follows the "Measures" to raise the operating period, the rate of return of highway reconstruction and expansion projects is expected to increase, and the valuation level of the whole industry is expected to increase.

NO.8 nonferrous metals

Cyclic resource stocks represented by nonferrous metals are also unavoidable in the first half of this year. The expected deduction of the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut cycle and the warming of global risk aversion caused by geopolitical conflicts have led to a collective surge in the prices of non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver and copper, with COMEX gold futures once exceeding $2,400 at the highest, and Luntong copper futures once exceeding $11,000 per ton.

In addition, from the demand side, with the expected strengthening of global economic recovery, the demand for metals is expected to increase, especially industrial metals such as copper and aluminum, which will benefit from the continuous growth of new energy demand and the recovery of domestic economy, and also push up prices and drive the performance of related enterprises to rebound. In addition, from the perspective of capital, in the first quarter of 2024, the non-ferrous plate was the direction that received the most infrastructure allocation, which once again showed that the market remained optimistic about the medium and long-term prospects of these metals. It is precisely under the constant catalysis of the above-mentioned price increase logic that the market has emerged such trends as North Copper, Luoyang Molybdenum, Hunan Gold and Zijin Mining.

Looking forward to the market of non-ferrous plates in the second half of the year, under the background that international metal prices remain at a high range, related stocks still have the possibility of upward repair after finishing. In addition, we can also pay attention to small metals such as antimony, which are driven by the rise in industrial metal prices. However, we also need to pay attention to the impact of potential risk factors such as changes in Fed policy, uncertainty of downstream demand recovery and geopolitical risks on the market.

NO.9 PCB

According to the Prismark report, the global output value of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in 2023 was $69.517 billion, down 15% year-on-year. With the destocking and the accelerated growth of downstream application demand, the industry is gradually recovering from the downturn in 2023. A person from the Securities Department of Shenghong Technology told the Cailian reporter that the downstream demand has recovered better than last year and has begun to pick orders.

However, the recovery of PCB industry is dominated by structural opportunities, and some enterprises may face greater operating pressure. Xing sen technology mentioned that the oversupply and fierce competition in the general multi-layer board market can hardly be substantially alleviated when accepting institutional research. In terms of market performance, Pengding Holdings, Shenghong Technology, Shengyi Electronics, Hudian, etc. have risen over 60% since the first half of the year, but nearly 80% of the stocks in the whole PCB sector still have negative annual growth.

Some analysts said that the categories with relatively stiff market demand include high-end PCB products in the fields of AI servers, new energy vehicles and 5G. The requirements of PCB layers and special processes for AI servers and high-speed switches are complicated, and the industry barriers are high. Only a few digital board manufacturers in the world can undertake relevant orders, which will also put forward higher requirements for investors’ fundamental judgment.

NO.10 AI mobile phone &AI PC

The wave of AI is still going on. The market value of NVIDIA has exceeded US$ 3 trillion. However, the AI concept stocks of A-shares have long since ceased to be the grand occasion of last year, and the market’s hype for AI tends to be rational. Except for some computing hardware directly involved in the supply chain of NVIDIA, the most sought after by funds is the end-side AI concept represented by AI mobile phones and AI PC.

First, at the Microsoft Build Developer Foresight Conference in May, Microsoft launched a new artificial intelligence computer named Copilot+PC, and then Apple launched Apple Intelligence at WWDC in June, showing a new form of AI mobile phone. Western Securities pointed out that with the maturity of end-side AI technology from the core layer to the application layer, consumer electronic terminals have entered an important window of product iteration. All terminal brand manufacturers are integrated into the "AI blood" and constantly innovate, which is expected to cause a new round of "machine change tide" for end users.

With the technical iteration of AI end-side products and applications, the market expects more AI explosive products to appear. Since the end of May, a number of AI mobile phones and AI PC concept stocks have soared, which has driven the whole consumer electronics sector to rise in resonance. Among them, Yingli shares rose by more than 160% in 9 trading days, and Luxshare, Lansi Technology, Lingyizhi and other large-cap stocks all rose by more than 20% in June.

The general, industrial and vertical AI big model markets are in full bloom.

China Business Daily (Reporter Zhao Yiru)"Every family has a big model" has become the most important way to show muscles in the scientific and technological circle in the first half of this year. In just a few months, nearly 100 AI models have emerged in the market. General model, industry model, vertical model, companies have chosen the best track to start, and the competition for big models has become fierce.

The general big model is fiercely competitive.
The first shot of the domestic "Hundred Models War" was started by Baidu.
In March this year, ERNIE Bot, Baidu’s generative AI product, officially invited for testing. Li Yanhong, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, said: "ERNIE Bot and generative AI represent a new technology paradigm and a great opportunity that every enterprise can’t miss. The AI ​ ​ market is about to usher in explosive demand growth, and its commercial value release will be unprecedented and exponential. "
As the first published AI general model in China, ERNIE Bot has made a full stack layout in the four-tier architecture of "chip-framework-model-application". This has also become one of Baidu’s competitive advantages.
In April, Alibaba Cloud’s "Tongyi Qianwen" model also began to invite tests. Zhang Yong, CEO of Alibaba Cloud Intelligent Group, said that all Alibaba’s products will be connected to the "Tongyi Qianwen" model in the future and be completely transformed.
"For the AI ​ ​ era, all products deserve to be redone with a big model, and all companies are on the same starting line." Zhang Yong said.
Regarding the positioning of "Tongyi Qianwen", Zhou Jingren, CTO of Alibaba Cloud Intelligent Group, said that Tongyi Qianwen is a general model and will not be optimized or customized according to a specific business problem. The ability to open up the universal question means that enterprises do not need to train large models from scratch, but can form their own exclusive models on the basis of universal question, combined with application scenarios, knowledge systems and special needs of the industry.
In May this year, Iflytek released the "iFLYTEK Spark Cognitive Model". Liu Qingfeng, chairman of Iflytek, said that Spark Cognitive Model has surpassed ChatGPT in text generation, knowledge quiz and mathematical ability, and strives to surpass ChatGPT as a whole by the end of October.
In June this year, 360 Group released the self-developed cognitive general model "360 Zhinao 4.0", and announced that 360 Zhinao has been connected to 360′ s product "Family Bucket".
"China has entered the period of the Hundred Models War. In addition to its basic ability, it is more important to compete in application scenarios." Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360 Group (hereinafter referred to as 360), said. At the C end, 360 plans to embed the AI ​ ​ big model capability into the core products, so that it can provide services to users like AI assistants. On the B side, the 360 plan is first applied in large-scale industry models and large enterprises.
In addition, Shangtang Technology released the "SenseNova" large model system, Kunlun Wanwei released the 100 billion-level large language model "Tiangong", and Beijing Zhiyuan Artificial Intelligence Research Institute released the Enlightenment 3.0 large model series …
"The domestic AI big model is in full bloom. First of all, because the big model is the basis for the development of the new generation of information technology revolution AI era, large Internet companies will follow up, and innovative enterprises will try their best to do it if they have the ability. Secondly, because foreign countries have successively opened up some platforms, they can save the training cost of large models, and some fine-tuning and reasoning costs are affordable for many teams, so domestic large models can flourish. " Shenyang, director of the Metacosmic Culture Laboratory of Tsinghua University School of Journalism and Communication, told the China Business Daily reporter.
"The phenomenon that the AI ​ ​ big model is in full bloom shows a trend, that is, generative AI may have a profound impact on the industrial structure and society in the future. Now it has just begun, and the penetration of AI into the industry is deepening. " Wu Tian, vice president of Baidu Group and deputy director of the National Engineering Research Center for Deep Learning Technology and Application, said.
The big industry model takes a different approach.
In the case of fierce competition in the general big model, some enterprises saw the advantages of the industry big model and chose to release the industry big model first.
In June this year, Tencent announced the research and development progress of Tencent Cloud’s big model industry, and jointly launched the cooperation of building a big model industry with 22 customers, and jointly launched the "Tencent Cloud Industry Big Model Ecological Plan" with 17 ecological partners.
"We believe that customers need more industry-specific industry models." Tang Daosheng, senior executive vice president of Tencent Group and CEO of Tencent Cloud and Smart Industry Group, said.
Tang Daosheng believes that at present, the universal big language model has certain limitations in dealing with the landing of industrial scenes. First of all, the training data of the general large model mainly comes from public data sets or network data, and the knowledge about the professional field of specific industries is limited. In addition, the training of general large language model requires a lot of computing resources and a long training cycle, which may be expensive and time-consuming for enterprises. At the same time, safety and compliance are also necessary considerations. Therefore, it is very important to choose to cooperate with cloud vendors with one-stop industry model service capabilities to create enterprise-specific industry model, which can reduce the cost and time investment of enterprises while being easy to use and use.
Coincidentally, Huawei also chose to release a big model of the industry.
In July this year, Zhang Pingan, managing director of Huawei and CEO of Huawei Cloud, released Pangu Big Model 3.0 at Huawei Developers Conference 2023. At present, Pangu model has played a role in many industries, such as finance, manufacturing, pharmaceutical research and development, coal mine, railway and so on.
"Pangu was born for the industry, so it is necessary to think for the industry and better serve customers in thousands of industries." Zhang Pingan said.
"Huawei has a very strong business foundation in many industries. As a big model of the industry, it can be quickly applied to various industries and directly exert economic benefits and social values. The general big model is oriented to C-end users, and its generated results are highly uncertain, which will also bring greater regulatory costs. " Shenyang said.
"If the GM model is to be really well done and quickly put into application in the C-end market, it will take time to polish its software, and it will also face the cost and technical difficulties of large-scale investment in content management. Therefore, from the perspective of research and development progress, the industry model can be used first. Huawei and Tencent have a good foundation in this respect and can quickly put it into the industry to use it. " Shenyang believes.
Vertical large model highlights advantages
Some companies choose to continue to narrow the scope of application of the AI ​ ​ big model and focus on the vertical field.
In July this year, Ctrip released the first vertical model of the tourism industry, "Ctrip asks". Liang Jianzhang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ctrip Group, expressed the hope that users would get "reliable content and reliable recommendation" from the tourism industry, including "Ctrip asks".
Ctrip’s motivation to launch the vertical big model is precisely to see the "unreliability" of the general big model.
"The opportunity of the vertical big model is that AIGC has encountered a very big challenge-the answer is not so reliable." Liang Jianzhang said. He believes that even if the planning saves half an hour, the recommended hotel or itinerary may have a 5% chance of being wrong, which is not worth the candle. As a large vertical model, "Ctrip asks" screens 20 billion high-quality unstructured tourism data, and combines Ctrip’s existing accurate structured real-time data with Ctrip’s historical training robots and search algorithms to train the self-developed vertical model.
Zhihu also launched its own big model based on its own content advantages.
In April this year, Zhihu officially released the Chinese big model of "Knowing the Chart AI". Kelly Y Zhou, founder, chairman and CEO of Zhihu, said: "With the unique advantages of application layer and data layer, Zhihu will contribute to the big language model of Chinese Internet."
The first big model function "Hot List Summary" of the Chinese big model "Knowing the Chart AI" aims to capture, sort out and aggregate the answers to the questions on the Zhihu Hot List by using the super language understanding ability, and show the answers to the users, so as to provide them with intuitive and clear answers.
"It is very necessary for companies such as Ctrip and Zhihu to launch vertical models. At present, we urgently need large industry models provided by vertical fields. The vertical large model can get more social feedback in the process of continuous use through the general base large model, plus industry data, industry fine-tuning and industry application scenarios, thus achieving a high degree of intelligence. " Shenyang believes.
"Hundred Models Battle" Competition Final
The booming AI big model industry soon ushered in industry standardization and management norms.
On July 7, at the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, the National Artificial Intelligence Standardization General Group announced the list of the first large-scale model standardization special group leader units in China. The joint team leaders are six enterprises, including Beijing Baidu Netcom Technology Co., Ltd., Alibaba Cloud Intelligent Group, Iflytek Co., Ltd., Sanliuling Security Technology Co., Ltd., Huawei Cloud Computing Technology Co., Ltd. and China Mobile Communications Co., Ltd. Research Institute.
"Standardization of large models is very important." Wu Tian told the China Business Daily reporter, "Baidu, as the co-leader, hopes to actively play its role in promoting the research and development of core technologies, industrial application and ecological construction of large models, and promote the top-level design and rule development of large models standardization. Baidu itself is an important practitioner, with first-hand practical experience, and hopes to actively participate in it to promote and promote the development of the big model industry. "
On July 15th, the National Network Information Office, together with the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, promulgated the Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services, aiming at promoting the healthy development and standardized application of generative artificial intelligence, safeguarding national security and social public interests, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of citizens, legal persons and other organizations.
Whether it is general, industrial or vertical, the number of large models has increased rapidly in just a few months. At the 2023 Global Digital Economy Conference, Jiang Guangzhi, Party Secretary and Director of Beijing Economic and Information Technology Bureau, said that with the upsurge of large-scale model development in ChatGPT, more than 80 large-scale models have been publicly released in China so far.
With so many large models, the final result of competition is inevitably curious.
"From the current point of view, it is impossible for an AI big model to dominate the world, because whether the AI big model can be widely used depends on the technical ability on the one hand and the application scenario and traffic pattern on the other." Shenyang believes, "But from the ultimate direction, when we reach the stage of general artificial intelligence, we may only need a big AI model."
"the AI big model is just a phased phenomenon. In the process of evolution, various enterprises and institutions will gradually find their own positioning and move towards market segments. " Wu Tian told reporters, "I think the final result of the big model is that only a few big models will stay in the future." Because the cost of making a big model from the bottom is very high, it takes years of accumulation, firm confidence and continuous investment to do it well. In the future, we may only rely on a few large models, and these large models will have a very wide application ecology. "

IMF says the Fed may need to raise interest rates from the end of 2022.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Washington, July 1 (Reporter Gao Pan Xiong Maoling) The International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on July 1 that the US Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates from the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023 in view of the fact that the US inflation rate will continue to be higher than the target of 2% in the next few years.

　　On the same day, the IMF said in a statement concluding its consultation on Article IV of the United States that the economic growth rate of the United States is expected to reach 7% this year, higher than the 6.4% predicted in April. Large-scale fiscal stimulus has increased the possibility that the US inflation rate will continue to be higher than the 2% target. It is estimated that by the end of this year, the inflation rate measured by the US consumer price index will reach 4.3%, and it will slow down to 2.4% by the end of 2022, but it will remain above 2% in the following years.

　　The IMF believes that the rapid recovery of the US economy and additional financial support make it necessary for the Fed to consider changing its monetary policy in the coming months. The Fed may need to reduce the scale of asset purchases from the first half of 2022 and raise interest rates from the end of 2022 or early 2023.

　　The IMF believes that the main risk facing the US economy still comes from the COVID-19 epidemic, and it is necessary to continue to promote vaccination and make emergency plans to prevent the epidemic from rebounding. In addition, if the size of the fiscal expenditure bill finally passed by the US Congress is smaller than the Biden administration’s proposal, it will also pose a downside risk to the US economy.

　　The IMF pointed out that it is a serious concern that many trade-distorting measures introduced by the US government still exist in the past four years. In particular, the US government still maintains tariffs on imported steel and aluminum products, washing machines, solar panels and a series of China goods, and promises to give priority to American products in public procurement. The IMF calls on the US government to lift trade restrictions and impose tariffs, and strictly restrict the "Buy American" clause to make it conform to the international trade obligations of the United States.

　　The IMF pointed out that in the past four years, the United States launched countervailing investigations based on exchange rate undervaluation, and included exchange rate clauses in trade agreements, which also posed serious risks to the multilateral trading system and the international monetary system. Treating an undervalued exchange rate as a subsidy that should be offset may aggravate trade tensions and trigger trade retaliation. The IMF believes that the United States should cooperate constructively with its trading partners to better solve the macro-structural distortion that affects the external balance of payments and strengthen the rule-based multilateral trading system.

　　The fourth clause consultation is the routine judgment and evaluation of IMF economists on the economic performance and macro policies of member countries every year.

The population of golden monkey in Shennongjia increased to more than 1600.

According to Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, June 29th, the results of the recent fourth survey of golden monkeys in Shennongjia forest area show that the population of golden monkeys in the forest area has improved significantly. Compared with the third survey in 2019, the population of golden monkeys increased by one, and the number increased by 147, reaching a total of 1618.

As the easternmost region in the world, Shennongjia is also the only region in the world where Sichuan golden monkey subspecies Hubei is distributed. In recent years, this population has become a typical isolated "small population" with the least number and the most endangered in Sichuan golden monkey.

According to the survey, in 1990, there were 5 groups and 501 golden monkeys in Shennongjia, with a habitat of 164 square kilometers. In 2005, there were 1282 individuals in 8 groups, with a habitat of 189 square kilometers. In 2019, there were 10 groups and 1471 animals, with a habitat of 354 square kilometers.

In order to fully grasp the number and distribution of golden monkey population in Shennongjia today and provide support for effectively protecting the flagship species in Shennongjia area, Shennongjia forest area organized the fourth survey.

Feng Wei, secretary of the Party Committee of Shennongjia Forest Region, said that the survey shows that there are 11 groups of golden monkeys in Shennongjia area, with a population of 1618, with a habitat area of 401 square kilometers.

Based on the distribution characteristics of Sichuan golden monkey and its flagship role in biodiversity conservation in Shennongjia, Hubei subspecies of Sichuan golden monkey was renamed as Shennongjia golden monkey in this survey, which is convenient for protection and management as an independent management unit.

Shennongjia is the only administrative region named after "forest region" in China, and it is a world-renowned biodiversity enrichment area and species gene bank. Over the years, Shennongjia forest region has firmly adhered to the bottom line of ecological security, continuously improved the diversity and stability of the ecosystem, implemented zoning, classification, control and negative list management, comprehensively promoted the management of lakes and grasses in landscape forest fields, and completed 24,000 mu of forest tending, 297,000 mu of degraded forest restoration and 1,028,600 mu of closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation. The forest coverage rate has stabilized at 91.12%, and the quality of ecological environment has been continuously improved. (Reporter Li Siyuan)

The red flag is leading strongly, ＂Carlyle＂ is stuck, and Lincoln is gearing up

　　New cars have been launched one after another, and sales are catching up with each other. "Carlyle", which is a match for the second-tier high-end car runner-up, can be said to be quite interesting. And the annual champion seems to be in the bag of Red Flag. In the first seven months of this year, Red Flag led with more than 170,000 cars, and it will continue to expand its lead in the future. At the same time, Lincoln is rushing to narrow the gap with other second-tier high-end brands. According to the current sales trend, Lincoln is expected to break through the 100,000 car mark in 2021.

　　On August 16, Lexus’ main model, the new ES, was officially launched, with a price range of 294,900 – 488,900 yuan, which was higher than the current price. "Old rival" Cadillac also chose to launch the new XT6 in August. Under the premise of upgraded configuration, the price of the new model is consistent with the old model, which is 392,700 – 552,700 yuan.

　　New cars have been launched one after another, and sales are also catching up with each other. "Carlyle", which is a match for the second-tier high-end car runner-up, can be said to be quite interesting. And the annual champion seems to be in the bag of Red Flag. In the first seven months of this year, Red Flag led with more than 170,000 cars, and it will continue to expand its lead in the future. At the same time, Lincoln is rushing to narrow the gap with other second-tier high-end brands; according to the current sales trend, Lincoln is expected to break through the annual sales of 100,000 cars in 2021.

　　Red Flag accumulates strength in the second half

　　On July 31, the Hongqi brand took the lead in announcing sales data. From January to July, Hongqi’s cumulative sales reached 170,600 vehicles, an increase of 95% year-on-year. According to the cumulative sales of 145,000 vehicles in the first half of the year, Hongqi’s sales in July reached 25,600 vehicles, an increase of 46.29% year-on-year.

Hongqi H9

　　In terms of different models, Hongqi H5 and HS5 are still responsible for sales, and the two models contributed nearly 80% of sales. Among them, Hongqi HS5 is "unique". The cumulative sales from January to July exceeded 82,000 vehicles, not only becoming a regular customer of the "10,000 club", but also successfully ranking among the top ten SUV sales in the country. In addition, the flagship model Hongqi H9 also played a stable role, with an average monthly sales of about 2,500 vehicles.

　　Entering 2021, the "lack of core" crisis made it difficult for many car companies to play a normal level, but it did not disrupt the rhythm of Hongqi’s "crazy output". Data show that in the first half of the year, Hongqi’s sales growth has remained in triple digits year-on-year. At the same time, Hongqi also pays special attention to communicating with customers and growing together. At the "2021 Hongqi Fan Festival" held on July 17, Hongqi announced that the number of Hongqi brand owners has exceeded 500,000, and July 17 was designated as the "Qishi Fan Festival".

　　With innovative marketing and a rich product lineage, Hongqi has won the second-tier high-end market sales championship this year.

　　But it is worth noting that as of now, Hongqi has only completed 42.65% of its annual sales target of 400,000 vehicles, which means that Hongqi needs to achieve an average monthly sales of 46,000 vehicles in the remaining 5 months. Such a challenging sales task makes us look forward to the second half of Hongqi.

　　"Carlyle" meets its opponents

　　According to the latest data released by the China Automotive Center, in July, Lexus sold 22,726 vehicles, surpassing Cadillac’s 19,993 vehicles, and the difference between the two sales was less than 3,000 vehicles.

A Cadillac 4S store in Beijing

　　Since the beginning of this year, Lexus has maintained a relatively strong development trend in the Chinese market. According to the import data released by the customs, Lexus imported 122,992 vehicles in the first half of this year, an increase of 26.6% year-on-year. Not only did it maintain the first place in the top ten brands of imported passenger cars, but it also surpassed Cadillac with a slight advantage of more than 4,000 vehicles.

　　Regarding the reason why Cadillac is temporarily lagging behind, Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the Passenger Association, analyzed and said, "Cadillac is mainly affected by the’lack of core ‘, which is related to the overall deployment of the general system." Some industry insiders also believe that although Lexus currently dominates in quantity, Cadillac’s cumulative growth rate is obviously better than Lexus, indicating that Cadillac has more strength. Considering the precedent of Cadillac’s successful "anti-kill" at the end of last year, the battle for the second-tier high-end runner-up is even more interesting.

　　Lincoln galloped

　　Compared with the aggressiveness of Red Flag and the "stickiness" of "Carlyle", Lincoln is rushing to narrow the gap with other second-tier high-end brands. Data show that Lincoln sold more than 7,700 vehicles in July this year, an increase of 36% year-on-year and 10% month-on-month. In July, Lincoln’s sales exceeded 7,700 vehicles, an increase of 36% year-on-year and 10% month-on-month. From January to July, Lincoln sold a total of 49,978 vehicles, an increase of 95% year-on-year, setting the best January-July sales record since the brand entered China.

　　Lincoln’s sales growth is mainly due to the success of localized models. Lincoln’s domestic SUV "Three Musketeers" – adventurers, aviators, and navigators have all made new breakthroughs. Among them, the new Lincoln Navigator has exceeded 2,000 units in a single month, an increase of 167% year-on-year. The success of domestic models has allowed Lincoln to quickly open up in the highly competitive second-tier premium car market. According to Lincoln’s current sales trend, it is expected to break through the 100,000 mark in 2021.

　　In comparison, Volvo’s sales in China are a little "Buddhist", and its sales have shown a steady upward trend following the development of the high-end market. In July, Volvo sold 14,520 vehicles in the Chinese mainland market, and a total of 109,599 vehicles were sold in the January-July period, an increase of 37% year-on-year.

Volvo XC40 pure electric version

　　It is worth mentioning that last month, Volvo Cars and its parent company Geely Holding Group signed an agreement to acquire the controlling stake of Geely in the Chinese joint venture between the two parties, thus fully integrating Volvo Cars’ manufacturing, research and development and sales operations in China. Hakan Samuelsson, CEO of Volvo Cars, said, "Through this agreement, Volvo Cars will become the first major foreign automaker to fully control its business in China."

＂Bitter people＂ group building! Can Silent Killing reproduce the popularity of Sheep Without A Shepherd？


Special feature of 1905 film network In the girls’ middle school where bullying happened on campus, a mysterious thing happened after a student fell to his death. Female students on campus have disappeared one after another, and no one can find them. However, behind the collective silence is brewing revenge full of hatred and killing.



It is still a familiar suspense theme, a familiar revenge story, and a powerful actor. It seems to be an out-and-out companion, but the seemingly "ever-changing" film contains an "infinite new machine".



One of the new machines, a fuller story. From Sheep Without A Shepherd to Silent Killing, there are indeed similarities in the subject matter of suspense and crime, but Silent Killing is more difficult to distinguish between good and evil in terms of characters and story structure itself, and the compactness of story rhythm has climbed to a new level.



The second new machine, more yuan theme. Under the shell of the theme of campus bullying, Silent Killing hides more social issues for the audience. Compared with the previous crime movies with the theme of campus bullying, it also adds a new story perspective for the audience to think deeply.



The third new machine, a more luxurious cast. "Silent Killing" has enabled powerful actors such as,, and so on, and this ace team has even been dubbed by netizens as "the crime suspense film is built by ruthless people."



The famous comedian also made a "surprise appearance" in Silent Murder, and contributed a joyful performance. The director even claimed that Cai Ming was his favorite actor. This time, he carefully designed Cai Ming’s performance from costume to role, which made her adapt to the cold film atmosphere of Silent Murder.


In this "vicious group building", except Cai Ming, who seems to be the most "harmless to people and animals" in the whole film, all the other characters are murderous in the film posters, full of story and mystery.



First of all, Lin Zaifu, played by Eric Wang, is the most forbearing one among the poster characters, and his character temperament is completely different from the big cross-border fraud BOSS he played last year.



In the film, Lin Zaifu is actually a growing role. After learning that his daughter was killed, his appearance, eyes and actions have undergone very subtle but critical changes. This kind of murderous look filled with silence makes people shudder. However, unlike the father who lost his daughter in other crime movies, he did not fall into madness after learning that his daughter died, but embarked on the road of revenge for his daughter with a little warmth and kindness, which also brought more possibilities for the reversal of the film.



Zhang Junning and his mother and daughter look more mysterious from the poster, and countless secrets seem to be hidden between their closed lips.Zhang Junning made a wonderful performance in Silent Killing. With her rational and restrained face, she showed Haan Lee’s madness to the fullest. At the same time, she also supported the complex role of Haan Lee with countless details, propping up her andkingsaintThe credibility of the mother and daughter.



And Wang Shengdi, a little actor called "monster" by Eric Wang, didn’t say a word all the time, but it made people get goose bumps all over again.



The brightest moment of Sandy was the moment when she passed the four bullying "evil girls". She was no longer the little girl who looked a little timid before. Her eyes were cold and she wore them all through.


These three actors all have amazing explosive power, perfectly controlling the three roles with great versatility, and propping up the whole interlocking and dangerous drama.



After so much discussion about the highlights and actors, back to the title of this film, Silent Killing, why does it have such a name?


Silent killing.



In the eyes of director Sam Quah, human nature is inherently good, so the evil side of human nature is often catalyzed by external factors such as family education, school environment and others’ inaccuracy.



Therefore, when these relationships all appear in the same film and encounter the most extreme "silence", all evils will be maximized. The evil of human nature has a cause and a result.


At the same time, I hope this film can remind the audience that they can stand up when they see injustice, stop being silent, and don’t be an accomplice to silence.


Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. is recalling some imported Lexus RX vehicles

Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. has filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation. From July 19, 2024, some imported Lexus RX vehicles produced between March 12, 2018 and October 6, 2022 will be recalled, totaling 83,717 vehicles.

The vehicles within the scope of this recall may be worn inside the fuel pump due to insufficient pressure resistance of the internal parts of the high-pressure fuel pump, resulting in cracks in the welded parts of the fuel pump due to stress concentration. In extreme cases, fuel may leak from the cracks, so there is a risk of fire when it comes into contact with external fire sources. At the same time, fuel leakage and volatilization pose unreasonable emission hazards.

Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. will check the high-pressure fuel pump for vehicles within the scope of the recall free of charge, and replace the parts that do not meet the requirements with the improved high-pressure fuel pump to eliminate potential safety hazards and unreasonable emission hazards. At the same time, provide emergency response measures: Before the recall is repaired, the vehicle should try to avoid close to the fire source; if the user finds that there is fuel smell or fuel seepage, he should stop using the vehicle and contact the dealer for disposal.

The recall is an expansion of the recall of "FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., and Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. recall some domestic and imported vehicles" issued on December 1, 2023. Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. will notify relevant users of the recall by registered mail and other means.

Interview with Cui Zouzhao, the screenwriter of ＂The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village＂： The creation is awe-inspiring, and the pen is touching people’s hearts (2372)

　　Wen Yi Yi Jun

During the years of the Republic of China, there was a chaotic world. On a rainy night with a dark wind and a high wind for a month, in an isolated ruined temple, criminals, officers, blind storytellers, women and children, actors and other people with different intentions talked about the legend of "the fox wife in the mountain village". Through the different versions of "Rashomon" style, the mystery of a period of 15 years ago was uncovered layer by layer, and a terrible conspiracy was quietly staged …

Recently, based on folk legends, online movies have incorporated many elements such as thriller, suspense and love.Fox wife in mountain villageBecome a new explosion. This part consists ofStrange trees have fish.、Pingzhi movie and television、Beixia picturesThe works produced not only have a good reputation, but also have a high score in Douban.6.5, set a record for the highest score of the online movie thriller Douban, and the cumulative box office will soon break through the 20 million mark. The film’sScreenwriter and script plannerCui Zouzhao, once again attracted the attention of the industry.

　

The pen is to the heart, and the core of the story is always people.

As a screenwriter of a series of folk legends such as The Legend of the Hunter in Xing ‘an Mountains, Cui Zouzhao said frankly that the creative process of The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village is a brand-new challenge. Although the word "fox wife in mountain village" is full of curiosity and dramatic tension, it is easy to fall into the stereotype of rural tales of mystery. How to solve the problem is often the first and most difficult challenge for a work.

"Every time there is a new project, we must strive to innovate and break through. This process is both painful and exciting. "Cui Zouzhao didn’t want to write easily, but kept thinking and refining the core of the story. He read a lot of folk information, studied fox fairy stories around the country, and gradually sorted out a set of folk story logic related to "fox".

Screenwriter and screenplay planner Cui Zouzhao

"In fact, whether it’s Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio or folk stories from all over the world, the legend about’ fox’ is often based on people’s desire and expression for morality and human relations. Curious and strange stories are just appearances. In the final analysis, everything still lies in people themselves." In terms of narrative techniques, he firmly believes that we should respect the classic drama logic, not deliberately be unconventional and violate the narrative logic, and at the same time, we should constantly innovate, combine local folk customs and audience expectations, and create a paradigm that conforms to contemporary aesthetics and has profound expression. "In story creation, although we can look back on some classic structures, we can’t copy them mechanically. Creating new expressions from classic content may be a part that every creator is challenging himself. "Cui Zouzhao said.

Based on these thoughts and studies, Cui Zouzhao began to try to outline the embryonic form of such a story: starting with the mysterious spiritual characteristics of the fox and putting these characteristics on the human body, what kind of identity would such a person be? Assuming that "the fox wife in the mountain village" is a rumor, what kind of secret is hidden behind it? If it is in such an extreme environment as "Blizzard Mountain Villa Mode", what kind of suspense situation will it cause if someone tells the story of the fox demon like a storyteller in the past …

The train of thought opened like a spring, and Cui Zouzhao began to create vivid characters, taking their inner motives and ups and downs as the story engine of The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village. With the construction of word by word, a subtle narrative maze has sprung up. On the surface, it is the story of "the fox wife in the mountain village" told by several people, but the real protagonist of the story is Li Shouting, a criminal who is full of crimes and treacherous, and Xie Jin, a squire who has never really appeared in the story.

The multiple narratives of virtual reality and virtual reality are very enjoyable, and the story is reversed layer by layer, which is unexpected and reasonable. Talking about how to integrate such a high-density group drama, multiple clues and diverse styles into the limited creative time, Cui Zouzhao said frankly that there is no secret, and it is nothing more than "pen power to people’s hearts".

"The core of the story is always people, exploring human nature, and there are the brightest, most frightening and most complicated things in it. For example, at the beginning, my setting for each character actually echoed the setting of the seven deadly sins. When I was creating, I also consciously put the camps on both sides in different light, one side was cold and the other side was warm, which actually showed the change of people’s state. The conflict is in the minds of the characters as well as the audience. The barrier inside and outside the story is broken by creation, and the attraction of the story naturally arises. But in any case, we still convey the light of human nature. "Cui Zouzhao said.

Create with awe, and the audience has a steelyard in their hearts.

After the launch of The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village, Cui Zouzhao gained a sense of satisfaction and value as a practitioner and creator after watching the heated discussions and various wonderful analyses and conjectures of many audiences on platforms such as Douban. "For the creators, it is undoubtedly a recognition and a kind of luck to attract the audience to participate inside and outside the story. "It has been Cui Zouzhao’s" careful thought "for many years to attract the audience into the thinking and re-creation of the story through his works.

As many people know, more than ten years ago, Cui Zouzhao was already a popular online novel writer. Cui Zouzhao said that his years of writing experience made him understand more and more that he must understand the thoughts of readers and audiences, and respect them and let them integrate into the story, so as to achieve creative resonance.

"The more in-depth creation this line, in fact, the more I panic, the more awe. Our readers and viewers are excellent and know what they want. We must write step by step and make better and better works. " In Cui Zouzhao’s view, fast-paced, high-density and overwhelmed content must return to the story itself. "A good story is always the first. If the story can’t impress people, there is almost no value in redevelopment."

In order to ensure that his stories are getting better and better, Cui Zouzhao can be described as "trying his best". For example, as long as there is an opportunity, Cui Zouzhao must follow the set all the time, which is not only to revise the script in time to improve, but also to make concerted efforts with the creative team to seize every opportunity to make the shooting more perfect. "It’s like the last egg in the film. In fact, shortly before the boot, I chatted with director Liu Xuandi and actor Guo Donghai. How to make the story look better and make the film more colorful, we have to work harder whenever possible."

Cui Zouzhao knew very well that folk culture is a very large system, and the north and the south are different from each other, so it is absolutely impossible to make it up. To be a good storyteller, we must implement folk customs. Therefore, he personally went deep into the countryside, forests and even scenic spots, and personally inspected and accumulated relevant materials. "On one occasion, we went deep into the tomb of a scenic spot and felt the true original appearance of the tomb. The feeling of terror and pressure was particularly shocking. I knew what it felt like to write such a theme." Cui Zouzhao firmly believes that texture comes from real life, and it can only be reached if it is understood in place.

For Cui Zouzhao, it is a "walking on thin ice" to turn his own words into movies. "I feel really lucky to be able to take what I like as a career, so I cherish and fear it all the more. I know that writing a novel is a matter for one person, and making a movie is a battle for a group of people. This process is very happy and serious. You should be responsible for your team and the audience who come to see your work. The audience has a steelyard in mind, and they can clearly distinguish between good and bad, and they can’t be careless in all aspects. “

In order to make stories look better, Cui Zouzhao’s stories often have multiple meanings and multiple interpretations. "There may be more unexpected hidden endings. For example, there are other mysteries about the identity of blind storytellers … anything is possible." Cui Zouzhao extended a meaningful invitation to the audience, expecting everyone to participate in more interesting exploration of the story. "The ideological core of the film must not be imposed on the audience, but guide everyone to go deep into it with plots and emotions. This subtle communication is effective."

Take a new road, do multiplication and addition well, and then talk about subtraction.

The fox wife in the mountain villagedirectorLiu xuandi, and Cui Zouzhao are not only staunch comrades-in-arms who have cooperated for many years, but also like-minded creative friends. When talking about their views on the online film industry, the two people have the same view: "Do multiplication and addition well first, and then consider subtraction."

"It must be admitted that many viewers have inherent prejudice against online movies and some stories that are bloody and shoddy. Our team is very lucky. Companies like Wonder Tree and Fish, Pingzhi Film and Television give us full trust and support, so that we can create freely on the track in the same field to the greatest extent. Then we should do story multiplication and production addition in creation. Of course, subject to many factors such as the viewing experience of small screen and big screen, production expenses and admission methods, the sub-items have always existed, but we must do what we can to the extreme. " Cui Zouzhao said.

When it comes to the breakthrough of this film, Cui Zouzhao thinks that he and his team are trying to find a new way about domestic thriller movies. "At the moment, there are already many different roads. At this time, we have to think about whether to change the road and have a new scenery. The number of modeled roads is always only a temporary scenery. Our audience is not simple, so we must always keep fresh and interesting when the audience has figured out the creator’s routine, without losing profound expression."

In order to achieve the expected effect, Cui Zouzhao not only skillfully used the "Chekhov’s Gun" in the script, but also set the gun hit the floor by villagers and adopted sons from story suggestion to reality. At the same time, we will strengthen the imaginative scene design that can be realized in actual shooting, and fully consider the production cycle and the difficulty of special effects, and do our best to make the story play its greatest role. For example, in the scene of Fox Fairy’s Cave House in the film, Cui Zouzhao and the director designed several schemes together, and finally chose a giant fox head wrapped in vines to show the mysterious visual impact, which impressed the audience deeply. For the expression of thriller scenes, he also tries to use the sense of scene to create psychological feelings. "My definition of terror stems from people’s awe of the unknown, so I will design something that resonates with everyone in life."

When talking about thinking about the future of online film creation, Cui Zouzhao said that we must always push ourselves to a dead end and not stay in the same place for a moment. "After years of running-in, our team has been thinking about how to present the story to the best effect in a limited budget, and I have become more and more efficient and pragmatic in the process of understanding the whole process. This is our advantage, and we should continue to walk out of a newer and better way on the premise of maintaining it. “

It is not difficult to find that the current online movies have gradually changed from winning by novelty-seeking commercial selling points to the stage of relying on high-quality content for long-term development. Cui Zouzhao said that he hoped that when he was getting old, he would not feel remorse when he looked at today’s works. "Creators have to give themselves an explanation. As long as they can write better, they can’t lie flat."

For the future creative planning, Cui Zouzhao said frankly that he was also preparing the content related to the network short play, and called on more outstanding creators and teams to walk side by side. "We also expect more people to see us. Whether it is online movies or online short plays, the support of each platform on each track is getting bigger and bigger. Those who do a good story with their heart will eventually have a better tomorrow."
