I think "Sunflower Squadron" is a children’s film with light. The style and lens of the whole film are very bright. Through the characters and stories in the film, an inner, positive and upward emotional force is constantly conveyed, forming a unique artistic style and aesthetic temperament. I hope to carry out a far-reaching spread, so that this good film can reach more audiences and let the audience see the film they want to see, and realize a two-way trip.

In order to give full play to the educational function of the film, actively use excellent films to carry out film and television education activities in primary and secondary schools, and implement the fundamental task of educating people in Lide, the children’s film "Sunflower Squadron" organized a campus tour, which was shown in more than 500 primary and secondary schools one after another, benefiting more than 600,000 children and pushing the film into the campus, classes and children. In addition, we also cooperated with Jiangsu Women and Children Welfare Foundation to establish the "Sunflower Squadron Charity Fund", and opened up channels for public fundraising.

Such as knife cutting, fire! This disease is "painful" and hot search. Do you want to fight thousands of dollars of vaccine?

focus

Recently, a # Pain is a danger signal of herpes zoster # boarded a hot search in Weibo, causing everyone’s attention to herpes zoster!

14641655856292882

How painful is it to get herpes zoster? People who have had this disease are worried about it and complain bitterly!

29351655856292983 91081655856293133

What disease is herpes zoster?

Herpes zoster is what people call "raw snake", "waist-wrapped dragon" and "waist-turned dragon", which is infected by varicella-zoster virus and occurs in middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old, showing clustered blisters.

67521655856293210

At the time of eruption, the skin of the affected area first appeared tidal erythema, then appeared clustered papules without fusion, and then quickly turned into blisters, with redness around the blisters. Skin lesions are often distributed along a certain peripheral nerve area, generally occurring on one side of the body and not exceeding the midline. Blisters will then dry up, scab and fall off, and there may be pigmentation left behind. Generally, skin lesions last for 2-3 weeks, and the elderly are about 3-4 weeks.

Characteristics of herpes zoster-high infection rate.

According to public information, herpes zoster is more common in older people with immunosuppression or immunodeficiency. According to Professor Chang Jianmin, director of the dermatology department of Peking Hospital and deputy director of the Department of Dermatology and Venereology of Peking University, in China, about 99.5% of adults aged 50 and above are latent varicella-zoster virus, and there are about 1.56 million new cases of herpes zoster in people aged 50 and above every year. According to the China Expert Consensus on Diagnosis and Treatment of Postherpetic Neuralgia, the annual incidence of herpes zoster is about 3-5‰.

Characteristics of herpes zoster-patients have to bear great pain.

It is understood that the onset of herpes zoster is very painful, such as cutting, burning, electric shock and whipping. The degree of pain is higher than that of childbirth, and even some patients will suffer from inattention, disorder, anxiety and depression, which is both physical and psychological. Some netizens commented: "Once you get sick, it invades your nerves and hurts like hell."

Often accompanied by significant neuralgia.

There is a saying: "snake sores, waist-wrapped dragons, crawling all over the circle will kill people", which means that it is painful when it comes on. It affects work during the day and sleep at night. Herpes zoster is contagious, mainly through droplets and contact.

Recently, with the increase of rain and the arrival of humid weather, the resistance of middle-aged and elderly people is extremely easy to decline, and herpes zoster is also prone to high incidence. Everyone must pay attention to it.

Vaccination can effectively prevent

Herpes zoster vaccine, namely recombinant herpes zoster vaccine (CHO cell), was officially launched in China in early July 2020. It is suitable for preventing herpes zoster. The vaccination target is adults aged 50 and over, and the immunization program is 2 doses.

Vaccination interval is 2 months, and the longest is no more than 6 months. Experts say that herpes zoster is a common disease in the elderly. To prevent the occurrence of herpes zoster, the first is to improve immunity, and the second is very important for middle-aged and elderly people to get a rash vaccine!

68601655856293669

For friends over 50 years old, it is recommended to vaccinate against herpes zoster, because with the increase of age, the probability of herpes zoster is getting higher and higher, and the incidence rate of people over 50 years old is obvious because of the gradual decline of cellular immune function, and active vaccination can reduce this risk. Vaccination is more recommended for people over 50 years old who have had chickenpox and their immunity is relatively low.

Do people who have had it still need to be vaccinated?

Experts say that people who have had herpes zoster once have a very low chance of getting sick again. The human body has a memory of herpes zoster virus immunity and will produce antibodies to avoid getting sick again.

However, people who have had herpes zoster and have relapsed still exist. Such patients often have very low immunity. After getting herpes zoster for the first time, they did not get enough antibodies. Therefore, when a similar situation occurs for the second time, the antibodies in the body are not enough to resist the virus, which will make the disease happen again. Therefore, for patients who have experienced herpes zoster recurrence, experts still recommend vaccination against herpes zoster to prevent recurrence.

Domestic listing enters countdown.

Throughout the world, there are two kinds of herpes zoster vaccines listed. Among them, shingrix from GlaxoSmithKline was approved to be listed in China in 2019 for preventing herpes zoster in adults aged 50 and over, and was officially launched in China market on June 28th, 2020, which is the only herpes zoster vaccine listed in China at present.

As herpes zoster vaccine belongs to the national immunization program, patients need to pay for it themselves. The price announced by Shanghai CDC is 1603.5 yuan/dose, and the full vaccination price is 3207 yuan, which is also the general price of community centers around the world, and the vaccination fee is not cheap. It is worth noting that at present, many domestic pharmaceutical companies are researching and developing the distribution of herpes zoster vaccine, and the fastest research and development company has received the Acceptance Notice of the application for the marketing license of live attenuated herpes zoster vaccine issued by the Drug Evaluation Center of China Food and Drug Administration. In other words, the vaccine has entered the stage of applying for marketing!

More than 350 people were killed and 9,480 injured in jiangyou city.


  According to incomplete statistics, Sichuan Province has received various donations of 1.998 billion yuan.


  Li Chengyun:At present, the finance department of our province has received a total of 2.733 billion yuan of special funds for earthquake relief, of which 1.773 billion yuan was issued by the central government. The provincial and municipal governments allocated 3.077 billion yuan in disaster relief funds, including 1.895 billion yuan from the provincial government and 1.182 billion yuan from the municipal (state) government.

These are being urgently transported to the disaster area.


  Some counties in Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang and Aba should postpone the college entrance examination separately.


  Li Chengyun:We are now making arrangements for the resumption of classes. We passed the college entrance examination yesterday. Some counties in Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang and Aba have to postpone and take exams separately. Now, places where conditions permit should prepare for the resumption of classes.


  Qumu Shiha:With regard to post-disaster recovery and reconstruction, with the care and support of the CPC Central Committee and the leaders of the State Council, the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government have started the preliminary work of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. On the basis of learning from the experience of earthquake relief and reconstruction at home and abroad, we will adjust measures to local conditions in accordance with the people-oriented requirements of Scientific Outlook on Development, scientific planning, resource-saving and environment-friendly social requirements, make overall consideration of classified guidance in planning requirements, and push forward our reconstruction work step by step, so as to fully meet the needs of the people in the disaster areas and social development. Thank you.


  At present, the first task of disaster relief is to save people.


  Li Chengyun:Let’s answer the last question first. Now, according to the requirements of the central authorities, the provincial party committee and the provincial government are still saving people. General Secretary Jin Tao said that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should all make a hundred efforts to save the survivors. Our current disaster relief task is still to save people, or to save people as the first priority; The second is that there is epidemic prevention, sanitation and epidemic prevention, because it also involves our whole society and the safety of each of us, so epidemic prevention is also the second important; The third is reconstruction, which Comrade Qumu Shiha talked about just now. Now it is under planning and construction has begun.


  Post-disaster reconstruction should be unified in planning and adoption, and the Civil Affairs Department should be unified in management.


  Li Chengyun:There are two problems with the donation of schools mentioned just now. One is that if you want to donate, you can donate to our Civil Affairs Department or to our Finance Department, but the school will contact the Education Department in the end. Because the school has a general layout, how many residential areas will build a primary school and how many residential areas will build a middle school in the future, because our future post-disaster reconstruction should be integrated with urban and rural planning, and urbanization and the construction of a new socialist countryside should be planned in a unified way. The issue of adoption is under the unified management of the Civil Affairs Department, and this method is now being studied. No other department can casually talk about adoption because we have an adoption law.


  The development of Sichuan has nothing to do with the earthquake, and there is no scientific reason to say that excessive development is unfavorable to Sichuan’s earthquake-resistant work.


  Reporter: Hello, I’m a reporter from Radio Television Hong Kong. I’d like to ask the National Development and Reform Commission. Some people say that excessive development is unfavorable to Sichuan’s earthquake-resistant work. Have you heard of this opinion?


  Li Chengyun:I don’t know where this logic comes from. It doesn’t make scientific sense.


  Reporter: because some people say that there are many chemical plants and hydropower stations built in Sichuan, it may be that if these chemical plants explode during the earthquake, there may be more casualties?


  Li Chengyun:You just said that excessive development will induce earthquakes, right?


  Reporter: Yeah. It’s not induced by light. Maybe many industries are in Sichuan. When there is an earthquake, it may explode, causing more casualties?


  Li Chengyun: First, there was no chemical plant explosion and no chemical plant explosion caused death. This is the first earthquake. Second, you just said that over-development induces earthquakes. I don’t know when and to what extent the over-development induces earthquakes. I don’t know where this scientific basis comes from. In addition, the development of Sichuan Province, our per capita GDP is now 25th in the country. I think that the development of Sichuan has nothing to do with earthquakes. We have to speed up development and build a well-off society for all. Our current GDP is 1 trillion, and it will grow to 5 trillion by 2020.


  If there are problems in the classrooms of schools in earthquake-stricken areas, they will be investigated and dealt with according to law.


  Peng Hu:In this catastrophic earthquake, some school teachers collapsed, and some teachers and students were killed or trapped. We are very sad about this. Regarding whether there are quality problems in school classrooms, our construction department has organized experts to conduct safety assessment and appraisal on all houses in the earthquake-stricken areas, and the assessment and appraisal work is underway. We will evaluate and appraise the collapse of school classrooms according to relevant standards and norms. If there are indeed problems that violate the relevant national building standards and regulations, especially mandatory standards, we will investigate and deal with them in conjunction with relevant departments according to law.


  Give full consideration to the children who were injured in the earthquake.


  Reporter: Hello, I’m a reporter from Qiushi Xiaokang magazine in Beijing. Many children were injured in the earthquake. Many of them lost their parents, relatives and classmates. Many children have been disabled for life. I wonder if we have any resettlement measures for them in the future. Thank you!


  Li Chengyun:There are resettlement measures. We have already said this time, for example, if an orphan is admitted to the college entrance examination, all the tuition fees will be borne by the government after the college entrance examination. If he is not admitted to the university, we will let the orphan go to a vocational school, and after finishing the vocational school, we will also be responsible for finding him a job. We have given full consideration to orphans, and the cost of attending vocational schools is also paid by the government, which is for senior high school, primary school and junior high school. In some junior high schools, depending on their age, whether they can take care of themselves or be raised by the civil administration will be carried out according to this method, but the cost will be borne by the government, and we will also subsidize the disabled according to the government.

China Consumers Association deeply analyzes the five major pain points of automobile consumption rights protection

  With the settlement agreement between the rights-defending female car owner and Xi ‘an Lizhixing Automobile Co., Ltd., the Mercedes-Benz oil spill is about to come to an end. However, the problem of automobile consumption rights protection is worthy of in-depth discussion and comprehensive reflection by the public.

  On the morning of April 17th, China Consumers Association held a symposium in Beijing to promote the solution to the problem of automobile consumption rights protection, focusing on the problem of automobile consumption rights protection, and invited relevant legal experts and lawyers to participate in it. The discussion focused on the application and perfection of Provisions on Responsibility for Repair, Replacement and Return of Household Automobile Products, the problems and improvement of Guidelines for Pre-sale Inspection Services of Passenger Cars (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as PDI Rules), the collection of fees for financial services in automobile sales, and automobile consumers.

  The relevant person in charge of the China Consumers Association pointed out that the current difficulties in safeguarding the rights of automobile consumption are mainly manifested in five major pain points: difficulty in consumer identification, difficulty in obtaining evidence, difficulty in consumer identification, difficulty in consumer consultation and difficulty in solving consumer complaints.

  In response to the public’s widespread concern about the financial service fee for automobile sales in the Mercedes-Benz oil spill incident, the relevant person in charge of the China Consumers Association responded that the financial services for automobile sales should be clearly marked, and illegal activities such as compulsory trading should be put an end to.

  There were 17,000 complaints about automobile consumption last year.

  With the sustained and rapid development of economy and society, the number of cars in China has maintained a rapid growth trend in recent years. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Public Security, the number of cars in China reached 240 million in 2018, an increase of 10.51% compared with 2017. China’s automobile consumption scale has maintained a high level. But there are a lot of complaints in the field of automobile consumption.

  Judging from the brands involved in the complaints, BYD ranked first, followed by Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Buick, Audi, FAW-Volkswagen, Changan Ford, Dongfeng Nissan, SAIC Volkswagen and Dongfeng Honda. According to the data analysis, the three German luxury car brands Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi are all on the list, which also reflects the upward trend of automobile consumption. This complaint data is absolute, and consumers should consider it comprehensively because of the different sales volume and ownership of each automobile brand.

  Statistics show that 62.7% of all automobile-related complaints in 2018 were family cars, followed by auto parts, accounting for 26.2%, accounting for nearly 90% of the total. In 2018, the Complaints and Consultation Information System of the National Consumers Association recorded a total of 19,283 complaints about automobile products (including parts), a decrease of 5.8% compared with the previous year. In 2018, a total of 17,773 automobile-related consumer complaints were accepted, with an acceptance rate of 92.17%; 1.77% of consumer complaints are pending, and 6.06% of complaints are not accepted due to reasons such as exceeding the scope of handling or jurisdiction, withdrawal, inability of the parties to inquire, and insufficient evidence.

  The relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association analyzed that the reason for the decline was on the one hand affected by the 4.1% decline in passenger car sales in 2018, and on the other hand related to the special rectification carried out by the market supervision department to improve the consumption environment.

  Judging from the handling results of complaints, 67.8% of the complaints reached an agreement after mediation, saving consumers 134 million yuan in economic losses. Among the cases that need mediation, the success rate of mediation once is 82.2%, and over 90% of cases can be mediated twice. The mediation methods are mainly face-to-face mediation and telephone mediation.

  From the way of consumer complaints, the proportion of complaints made by telephone, Internet, letters, etc. are 52.9%, 22.9% and 15.3% respectively, accounting for over 90% of the total. Compared with the previous year, the proportion of complaints through internet channels increased by 4.9 percentage points, while the proportion of telephone complaints decreased by 2.1 percentage points.

  After-sales service problems accounted for 32.2%.

  From the classification of consumer complaints, automobile-related complaints mainly focus on after-sales service, contract and quality problems, accounting for 32.2%, 20.7% and 20.0% respectively, and the total of the three types of problems accounts for over 70%.

  With the growth of car ownership, the proportion of after-sales service problems has increased, contract problems have decreased slightly, and false propaganda and price disputes have also increased.

  The relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association said that, specifically, complaints related to automobile after-sales problems mainly include: non-performance of three-guarantee obligations, non-performance of after-sales commitments, charging for repairs during the three-guarantee period after sales, and failure to perform after-sales services due to changes in operators, which account for 50.1%, 38.3%, 5.0% and 2.9% of after-sales problems respectively.

  Complaints about automobile contract problems mainly include: deposit disputes, contract breach, unequal format clauses, etc., which account for 32.6%, 22.0% and 4.9% of contract problems respectively.

  Complaints about automobile quality problems mainly include: product performance problems, unqualified goods and lack of specific use environment, accounting for 27.3%, 13.4% and 9.2% of all quality problems respectively.

  From 2016 to 2018, the data of the complaints and consultation information system of the National Consumers Association showed that the complaints of automobile products (including parts) increased from 15,000 pieces/year to about 19,000 pieces/year, and the complaint resolution rate declined. The main problems of consumer complaints are after-sales service, contract disputes, product quality, financial services and so on.

  Statistics show that automobile sales enterprises and service enterprises are the main targets of complaints. From the infringement data of operators, consumers’ rights of safety, fair trade and claim in automobile consumption are the high-incidence areas of infringement by operators, and consumers are most concerned about safety rights. Among them, the right to safety accounts for 46.5%, the right to fair trade accounts for 26.7%, and the right to claim compensation accounts for 18.9%.

  It is an obligation to deliver qualified cars.

  According to the relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association, it is difficult to protect the rights of automobile consumption in five aspects: operators make excuses and consumers are difficult to identify; Operators do not provide vouchers, and it is difficult for consumers to obtain evidence; Disputes over product quality make it difficult for consumers to identify; Operators buck passing, and it is difficult for consumers to negotiate; Rights protection involves complex issues and it is difficult to solve consumer complaints.

  In response to the Mercedes-Benz oil spill in Xi ‘an, the relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association pointed out that it is the operator’s due obligation to deliver the automobile products up to standard.

  Article 12 of the Product Quality Law stipulates that the quality of products shall pass the inspection, and unqualified products shall not be passed off as qualified products. Article 8 of the Provisions on Responsibility for Repair, Replacement and Return of Household Automobile Products stipulates that producers shall strictly implement the ex-factory inspection system, and household automobile products that have not passed the inspection shall not be sold out of the factory.

  "It is the contractual obligation of the operator to deliver qualified products, and the three guarantees are post-contractual obligations. The two should not be confused." The relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association stressed that if the operator sells unqualified products, consumers can, in accordance with Article 54 of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests, "if the consumer requests to return the goods that have been identified as unqualified by the relevant administrative departments according to law, the operator shall be responsible for the return." If the operator commits fraud, he should also bear the corresponding liability for compensation.

  In practice, some operators deliver unqualified vehicles to consumers, but refuse to bear the responsibility of returning goods or corresponding compensation on the grounds of the three guarantees of automobiles, which violates the law.

  PDI rules should not restrict consumers’ rights.

  In view of the PDI new car inspection fee charged by 4S stores, the relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association believes that PDI rules belong to industry self-discipline norms and should not restrict consumers’ rights.

  The Guidelines for Pre-sale Inspection Service of New Passenger Cars (Trial) is an industry self-discipline norm led by industry organizations and formulated by 12 enterprises. It involves the inspection regulations for new passenger cars before they are delivered to consumers.

  The relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association said that the relevant manufacturers and their dealers should check and implement them one by one according to the relevant contents to ensure the actual quality of new car delivery. For some operators whose PDI inspection is a mere formality, which causes various problems in the delivery of vehicles, industry self-discipline should be strengthened to regulate them. At the same time, the PDI rules jointly formulated by enterprises belong to industry self-discipline norms, and should not restrict consumers’ substantive rights, but should be revised and improved according to consumers’ demands and related practical disputes.

  Financial service fees put an end to compulsory transactions

  In view of the current situation that 4S stores generally charge auto financial service fees, the relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association believes that auto sales financial services should be clearly marked to prevent illegal activities such as compulsory transactions.

  According to the relevant provisions of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests and the Measures for the Administration of Automobile Sales, dealers shall not force consumers to buy insurance or provide services such as vehicle registration on their behalf when selling cars. In violation of the relevant provisions, the local competent commerce department at or above the county level shall order it to make corrections, and may give a warning or a fine of not more than 30,000 yuan.

  "In the course of trading, the operator shall express all the charging items to consumers in advance, and shall not make unreasonable restrictions or compulsory transactions. However, in the current automobile sales service, there are problems such as forcing consumers to buy insurance, paying renewal deposit or renewal deposit. Some dealers overcharge the license fee and financial service fee without telling consumers, and do not issue invoices, which causes strong dissatisfaction among consumers. " The relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association said that these illegal acts should be severely punished according to law.

  Operators should solve consumer disputes quickly.

  Article 4 of the Consumer Protection Law stipulates that business operators and consumers should follow the principles of voluntariness, equality, fairness, honesty and credibility when conducting transactions. Article 23 stipulates that if a consumer finds a defect in a motor vehicle within six months from the date of receiving the commodity, and a dispute arises, the operator shall bear the burden of proof on the defect.

  Article 8 of the Measures for Punishment of Infringement on Consumers’ Rights and Interests stipulates that business operators shall not deliberately delay or unreasonably refuse consumers’ legitimate demands when providing commodities or services.

  The relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association pointed out that operators should respect consumers’ rights and interests and solve consumer disputes honestly and quickly.

  "As the first responsible person to safeguard consumers’ rights and interests, operators should attach great importance to consumers’ opinions, face up to consumers’ reasonable demands, earnestly fulfill their legal obligations and responsibilities, and properly resolve consumer disputes. If the product is found to be defective within six months of delivery, the operator also bears the burden of proof. " The relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association stressed that delaying prevarication and bullying will not only be severely punished by law, but also lose the trust of consumers.

  It is necessary to increase the scope of supervision and spot checks.

  In recent years, the national automobile complaints and the recent Mercedes-Benz female car owners’ rights protection incidents have highlighted the current situation that it is difficult to protect rights in the field of automobile consumption, the urgency of credit construction and the necessity of building a harmonious consumption environment.

  In view of the difficulty in safeguarding the rights of automobile consumption, China Consumers Association calls on the whole society to jointly establish the concept of consumer priority and work together to solve the problem.

  On the one hand, it calls on the legislature to listen to consumers’ opinions extensively, further revise and improve the product quality law, three guarantees for automobiles and other regulations, improve the legislative level of product quality assurance, clarify that people should be held accountable for violations of laws, strengthen the protection of consumers, and prevent operators from evading their due obligations and responsibilities and harming consumers’ legitimate rights and interests.

  On the other hand, it appeals to all relevant administrative departments to pay attention to the problems reflected by consumers, further strengthen supervision and management in the field of automobile consumption, promptly investigate and deal with outstanding behaviors that harm consumers’ rights and interests, standardize automobile sales and ancillary services, increase the scope and intensity of supervision and spot checks, continuously improve the efficiency of administrative law enforcement, and enhance consumer satisfaction.

  The relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association said that it is hoped that the automobile industry organizations will strengthen industry self-discipline and internal constraints, attach importance to and listen to consumers’ opinions, revise and improve relevant rules of the automobile industry in time, strengthen service supervision, data monitoring and risk management, eliminate improper restrictions on consumers’ rights, promote the establishment of industry credit restraint mechanism, blacklist operators who seriously infringe on consumers’ rights and realize effective industry governance.

  "China Consumers Association will thoroughly study the outstanding problems in the field of automobile consumption and the difficulties in consumer rights protection, actively participate in the legislative work in related fields, timely reflect consumer demands, and promote the improvement of the legal protection of automobile consumption rights protection. At the same time, explore the establishment of a professional Committee on automobile consumption, with the help of experts and lawyers, to improve the efficiency of automobile complaint handling; Explore the establishment of a credit publicity mechanism in the field of automobile consumption, publicly disclose intentional delays, unreasonable rejections and other untrustworthy behaviors that seriously infringe on consumers’ rights and interests, strengthen corporate credit constraints, and promote quality improvement and service improvement. " The relevant person in charge of China Consumers Association stressed that for major and typical violations of the legitimate rights and interests of automobile consumers, investigation, interview, reflection, suggestion, disclosure, criticism, litigation and credit publicity will be comprehensively used to effectively strengthen the protection of consumers and effectively curb the illegal behavior of operators.

  Beijing, April 17 th  

  Cartography/Gao Yue  

The movie channel 6.30 broadcasts "Artificial Intelligence" to explore the true meaning of emotion with AI.

Special feature of 1905 film network When artificial intelligence has a sense of autonomy, where will human beings go?In recent years, with the birth of powerful AI robots such as ChatGPT, a difficult problem has been invisibly thrown to human society. "When the development of science and technology makes robots have emotions, is this really a good thing?"


In the movieI, Robot.At the time of broadcasting, we once released such a short video about "the awakening of robot self-awareness", which caused a heated discussion among netizens.


This week, the film channel will broadcast another thought-provoking science fiction film, directed bySteven Allan SpielbergDirectedArtificial intelligenceThis movie is about a robot with human emotions. The film was released in the United States on June 29th, 2001, 22 years ago. Did Spielberg think that artificial intelligence would develop to this point in 22 years?



Love that spans thousands of years


Henry, an employee of a robot manufacturing company, and his wife adopted the first robot boy who was input into the emotional program.David.With getting along day by day, David seems to really become the son of the couple, but all the peace is broken with the return of their real son.



And David had to leave his "parents" because of the accident, and embarked on the road of seeking to become a "real person".Artificial intelligence with human emotions — — This sounds like a very dangerous existence, but David, as a robot in this movie, has an endless sad background.



Monica, David’s human mother, woke David up to make up for the vacancy in her heart because her own son was dying, made him a substitute for her own son, and abandoned David cruelly after her own son returned.



Henry, David’s human father, took David home only because he saw David as a gift to ease his wife’s pain.



After thousands of years, human beings have long since disappeared. When David was awakened by aliens, he still had only one thought: turn me into a real child and let me go back to my mother.


Ironically, human beings, who should have deeper feelings, seem to be as cold as robots in this movie, while robots, who should have been ruthless, have the most eternal feelings in this movie.



After watching the movie, people may have such a question in their hearts: is the changeable emotion of human beings not even as good as the program piled up by numbers after all?



A movie, two directors.


The creative process of Artificial Intelligence is full of twists and turns.The original director of the film was not Spielberg, but the original inspiration of the film actually came from the famous movie master.Kubrick. This also makes the film "Artificial Intelligence" have the shadow of two film masters at the same time.


Spielberg (left), Kubrick (right)


Kubrick always loved a 1969 novel called "Super Toys Playing All Summer" and wanted to adapt it into a movie, so in 1985, Kubrick asked his old friend Steven Allan Spielberg to be the producer together with Jane Harlan.



However, because no suitable child star could play the role of "David" at that time, and the computer technology was not mature enough to create the image of CG "David", Kubrick temporarily shelved the film.



In 1999, the 71-year-old great director died of a heart attack, and Artificial Intelligence became his unfinished last wish.



At the entreaties of Harlan and Kubrick’s wife, Steven Allan Spielberg decided to be the film director himself. He said:"In the 1980s, I learned this unforgettable wonderful story from Kubrick, and I was deeply attracted by the ingenious integration of science and humanity. Let me tell this story for him after the Sri Lankan has gone away."


Most of the filming of this film was done in Warner Studio in California, which took 67 days.The most popular actor in the film is undoubtedly haley joel osment, who plays David.



His screen debut was playing Forrest Gump’s son in a famous film in the history of the world. In 1999, he won eight nominations, including the Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.


Forrest Gump (I), The Sixth Sense (II)


As a talented child star, haley joel osment’s acting skills in movies are naturally remarkable. He interprets David’s stubborn pursuit of maternal love in detail and brings strong empathy to the audience.



Play David’s friend in need — — Robot Joe’s actor also contributed wonderful acting skills in the film. With perfect body expression and handsome appearance, it seems that Jude Law is really the charming robot dancer in the film.



During the filming process, the film also encountered many difficulties, the most serious of which was how to present the teddy bear that always followed David.



Teddy bear is a complex combination of model and digital technology, and it is necessary to seamlessly integrate computer images and real images for its shooting.



This seemingly unremarkable teddy bear is actually equipped with 50 servo motors, 24 of which are located in the head, which can be used by special effects technicians to control complex facial movements. The seemingly light and portable teddy bear weighs 30 pounds.



Even Haley Joe osmond said when he saw the teddy bear, "It is really a super toy, because under the action of various motors in the body, it can not only swing its body, nose and ears, but also catch objects. I really almost believed it."


Artificial Intelligence Films in Film History


The initial birth of robot image in the world film history can be traced back to 96 years ago.In 1927, the filmMetropolisBecame the first film in the world.In personThe film of industrial intelligence is also the most expensive silent film in film history.



The original director of Artificial Intelligence mentioned above — — The film directed by movie master in 1968 is regarded as "the milestone of modern science fiction film technology".



Hal, the AI program that produces human emotions and kills human beings in the movie, made many people realize the horror of highly evolved artificial intelligence at that moment.



In 1982, according to the famous science fiction writer Philip K. Dick’s novel "Do bionic people dream of electronic sheep? The film adapted from "The Replicator" is a group of robots created by artificial intelligence technology. The release of this film has further aroused people’s thinking about the relationship between human beings and artificial intelligence.



In 1984, the film directed and starring came out, and Schwarzenegger’s permeability terminator T-800 with human face and skin became one of the most famous robot images in film history.



Released in 1999, it tells a dream story about a robot falling in love with human beings and eventually becoming a human being. As a robot-themed movie, although there are no gorgeous special effects, the warm story expression of "Machine Butler" also impressed fans.



The movie "I, Robot", starring, which was released in 2004, has a chilling self-awareness of robots, and the fighting in the movie is also brilliant.



In 2014, the robot Dabai, the first animated film jointly produced by Disney and Marvel Comics, was popular all over the world because of its cute appearance, and the film also won the "Best Animated Feature Film" award at the 87th Oscar.



When robots have self-awareness and emotion, should we give them the same rights as human beings?If one day in the future, when you face a robot as close to human as David in Artificial Intelligence, how will you react?


The movie channel will broadcast the movie "Artificial Intelligence" on Friday, June 30th. Let’s explore the true meaning of emotion from the perspective of artificial intelligence.


The Battle at Lake Changjin’s "Father’s Generation" and other heavy hits hit the National Day file!


Special feature of 1905 film network When the National Day movie hits in 2021, it is undoubtedly a matter of great concern to many viewers when they are looking forward to the holiday, whether they can make history, whether Zhu Yu’s previous glory can continue, whether he can achieve a counterattack full of youthful atmosphere, and how many parent-child movies will contribute a movie feast for everyone during the National Day holiday.



The National Day file brings movies back to hot search, in which the word "Hui" is the key word. Because of the repeated epidemic, the movie market has gradually slowed down since August. Both the cinema and the audience are waiting for one or even several explosive movies to stimulate the market and provide a reason to go to the cinema during the Golden Week leisure time. Then, is the movie on the National Day file expected to be searched on the screen? Which movies have the potential to be hot searched? Today’s Film Review invited Zhang Jinfeng, deputy editor-in-chief of China Film News, to look forward to the National Day file with you.



At the moment when the epidemic situation is repeated, whether the films of the National Day archives can be searched on the screen or not, and the topic before the return, will bring a movie-watching craze, which is of inspiring significance to China filmmakers. In this regard, Zhang Jinfeng believes: "I think it will, because the blockbuster itself has its own traffic and is a topic maker. The production cycle and publicity of The Battle at Lake Changjin and "My Father and I" have kept everyone’s appetite because of the repeated epidemic. These two films will create more hot searches while creating high box office, so that China films can return to the center of the audience. " Before the deadline, the total box office of movie screening and pre-sale in The Battle at Lake Changjin has exceeded 100 million.



Teacher Zhang Jinfeng once said: "The explosion may be late, but it will never be absent." Many films in this year’s National Day archives have the ability to board the hot search, and the possible hot search entries also highlight the selling points and characteristics of the films. For example, what hot search terms may appear in The Battle at Lake Changjin, which is highly anticipated? Zhang Jinfeng mentioned: "First of all, can The Battle at Lake Changjin surpass the box office and the total box office of participating movies become the highest among all actors. Other acting skills, as well as his sacrifice and dedication for the film, will also become a hot topic for everyone. Jason Wu and Jackson Yee play a pair of brothers, and their brotherly love may get a hot search. Finally, there is "urine point", because the film lasts for nearly three hours, and many viewers can’t last for three hours. Where is its "urine point" will also be a hot topic for the audience. "



As the third work of "Me and Me" series, "Me and My Father" has a directing tube, which I believe will give fans more freshness and is also one of the main forces to board the hot search topic. Zhang Jinfeng said: "Zhang Ziyi and Shen Teng will definitely become the key words of hot search. As the only director who participated in the whole series, the fragments he directed in the first two films have won the welcome of many audiences; In his directing part, Jason Wu is also a subject of military war that he is good at. By desperately performing Saburo, he shows a particularly masculine temperament, which will also become the focus of hot discussion. In The Battle at Lake Changjin, Jason Wu and Jackson Yee play a pair of brothers, and in My Father and I, Jason Wu plays the father. These three people will have a series. What is the relationship between Leo and Jackson Yee? I think it is very fun. Jackson Yee and Leo may wish to have a dialogue from a distance during the National Day. "



In addition to the above two heavyweight blockbusters, there is actually a youth-themed film in the National Day file, that is, "Five Boys Who Save the Water". In the case that The Battle at Lake Changjin and My Father and I may occupy the largest proportion of the National Day movies and box office, the space left for other movies is very small. Whether Five Boys Who Drove the Water can become a dark horse in the fierce National Day movie schedule and board the hot search by strength is also concerned by many people.



Zhang Jinfeng’s prospect: "As a theme of youth and sports, if the film can win the popularity of young mainstream audiences, then the film arrangement will definitely become the key word. Fans will form tap water for the film arrangement, become a hot search, and slowly seize the market space of those two blockbusters. I believe that "Five Boys Drowning in the Water" can achieve a counterattack of our market expectations in the National Day file, and some elements of this film are very in line with the National Day file. The soundtrack of the synchronized swimming team is "March of Steel Torrents" during the National Day military parade, which matches the atmosphere of the National Day. In fact, as long as it is a good film, the market and the audience will not live up to it. "



In addition to the above three films, there are many parent-child movies in the highly competitive National Day, which often have a fixed audience. Zhang Jinfeng said: "It was created in the 1990s, and Zheng Yuanjie himself is a writer with his own hot search body. When he expresses some opinions on Weibo, he always gets on the hot search. Then I think this time his film is released, he may often have something to say during the release, and this film will also be one of the strong contenders for hot search words."



The hot search terms predicted for the National Day films are actually the expectations of these films. At present, the epidemic is not completely over, so we can’t be blindly optimistic now, and filmmakers need to continue to overcome difficulties with everyone. China movies have experienced so many twists and turns since last year. The road is tortuous, but the future is bright. If we can do a good job in the film content, we will definitely be able to return to the high point that China movie market should have after the epidemic is over.


Today’s film reviewDirector observation


This year, the movie market is so deserted that everyone is particularly looking forward to the arrival of the National Day file. The National Day file is indeed an arduous task. I also hope that several films can live up to expectations, so that the hot search terms predicted in this program can come true and the movies will become the topic of everyone’s leisure time again.

Rush to the hot search! Yahoo Mail stopped serving in mainland China, and there was an early warning in November last year.

On the evening of 27th, a message # Yahoo Mail stopped serving in Chinese mainland on February 28th rushed to Weibo for hot search.

Yahoo said in the email that it can download backup emails, address books, schedules, etc. before February 28th, and it will not be able to receive and send emails or download data from Chinese mainland after February 28th.

In addition, PayPal has also sent a notice to users. If it is bound to Yahoo Mail, it needs to be changed to another email address as soon as possible.

In November last year, Yahoo China official website said that from November 1, 2021, users will not be able to use Yahoo’s products and services from Chinese mainland, and users in Chinese mainland will only be able to access Yahoo Mail, AOL Mail and Privacy Meter data from three given links. Subsequently, netizens found that Yahoo’s few online services that could be accessed in Chinese mainland were also stopped, including weather-related apps and news information, and the Chinese version of Engadget, a technology media owned by Yahoo, was also inaccessible.

It is worth mentioning that this announcement was released on November 2, and the behavior of stopping the service earlier than the announcement was also discussed by netizens. In fact, as early as 2013, Yahoo shut down news, e-mail, Chinese music and community services in Chinese mainland, and closed its research and development center in Beijing two years later, laying off more than 200 people.

According to statistics, in January, 2022, the market share of e-mail clients ranked first in Apple, second in Google Gmail, third in Microsoft Outlook and fourth in Yahoo. In 2017, when the information of 3 billion users of Yahoo was leaked, it was reported at that time that tens of millions of users were affected in China.

In the recent poll conducted on Weibo, users of QQ email account for the first place, followed by 163 email account and gmail email account, and only 299 people voted for Yahoo email account.

In 1995, Yahoo was founded. In 1996, Yahoo, which was founded only one year ago, went public. At this time, Yahoo’s market value reached 850 million dollars. Yahoo initially positioned itself as a media company, pioneered the free Internet model, and earned profits by establishing portals and selling advertising spaces. In 1997, Yahoo earned more than $70 million in revenue just by advertising. At its peak, Yahoo’s market value once exceeded $125 billion.

Yahoo entered Chinese mainland in 1998 and once occupied a considerable market share. According to iResearch- iResearch Market Consulting Report, in 2004, the market share of search traffic of China search engines was 33.1%, that of Yahoo! was 30.2%, and that of Google was 22.4%.

From 2000 to 2006, Yahoo occupied the first place in the global Internet company market value. However, with the rise of Google and others, Yahoo, whose empire was about to collapse in 2008, received an olive branch from Microsoft: it bought Yahoo at a premium of 60% to 45 billion US dollars, and Yahoo felt undervalued and refused; In 2017, Verizon, an American telecommunications company, acquired Yahoo’s core network business for US$ 4.48 billion, less than a quarter of Microsoft’s offer at that time. In 2019, Google bought Yahoo’s headquarters for $1 billion, and at the same time, Yahoo’s products began to withdraw from the China market. 

On May 4, 2021, Yahoo Q&A was completely closed. After that, visiting the website will directly jump to Yahoo’s homepage, and all the original content will disappear from the Internet. In November 2021, Yahoo China was officially closed; Today, Yahoo Mail completely stopped serving Chinese mainland.

September 7-8 Theme: Vehicle Observation

      A white line on the crosswalk of a city street, also called zebra crossing. Zebra crossing originated from jumping stones in ancient Rome. As early as in ancient Rome, on some streets of Pompeii, chariots and horses crossed with pedestrians, which often caused traffic jams and accidents in the city. To this end, people separated the sidewalk from the carriage road, raised the sidewalk, and built blocks of stones protruding from the road near Ma Lukou as signs to instruct pedestrians to cross the street. Pedestrians can step on these jumping stones and slowly cross the road. When the carriage is running, the jumper is just between the two wheels of the carriage. Later, many cities used this method. At the end of the 19th century, with the invention of automobiles, the traffic in the city was rolling, and people were crossing the street at will, which hindered the traffic. The previous kind of stone jumping could not avoid the frequent occurrence of traffic accidents.

      In the early 1950s, the British designed a kind of crosswalk on the street, which stipulated that pedestrians should only take crosswalks when crossing the street, so a series of striking crosswalks appeared on the streets of London, which looked like white stripes on zebras, so people called it zebra crossing. When the driver sees this white line, he will automatically slow down or stop to let pedestrians pass safely. Zebra crossings are still everywhere in the streets.

Accelerated reshuffle of entertainment industry in winter: the rise of video websites and the reconstruction of industrial value chain

  In the past, the entertainment industry has not had a good time. Whether it is film and television dramas, movies, games or even artists, the upstream and downstream of the industry have been more or less affected. Under the cold winter, the prospects of the entertainment industry are also confused. How to get out of the cold winter?

  Recently, at the Iqiyi World Conference, Iqiyi released a number of entertainment industry support plans, involving movies, film and television dramas, games, animation, online texts, artists’ brokers, etc., which seemed to set a fire in the cold winter of the entertainment industry. Even Hou Hongliang, president of Noon Sunshine Film, lamented: "Winter has passed and summer has arrived." If, as Hou Hongliang said, winter has passed and summer is ushered in with the help of video websites, then, under the cold winter of this round of entertainment industry, the video websites under the control of the BAT Big Three have undoubtedly become the biggest winners, and their dominance in the entertainment industry has further expanded. Many years ago, Bona Film President Yu Dong’s statement that "all film and television companies will work for BAT" is also becoming a reality.

  Entertainment industry accelerates reshuffle in winter.

  Wind data shows that during the four years from May 2015 to May 2019, the investment in the film and entertainment industry showed an obvious cliff-like downward trend, with two obvious lows in 2016 and this year. In 2015, the investment amount of the industry was 13.091 billion yuan, which was reduced to 6.452 billion yuan in the following year, which was more than half. Then it entered the fast lane of rising. In 2018, the investment amount reached 53.777 billion yuan, which will be more than half this year, and the investment amount is only 262 million yuan.

  Affected by the cold winter, in 2018, the number of repertoires publicized by filing in China continued to decline, with a total of 1,061 and 41,887 episodes, down by 9.7% and 10.3% respectively compared with 2017. And short videos began to flood people’s lives, and the fragmentation time was gradually filled, and the market space was further narrowed.

  The performance of film and television listed companies is also not optimistic. Even Huace Film and Television (300133.SZ), the leading film and television drama, earned 5.797 billion yuan last year, up 10.52% year-on-year, with a net profit of 211 million yuan, down 66.71% year-on-year, and deducted non-net profit of 121 million yuan, down 78.22% year-on-year. More than half of the film and television listed companies, such as Huayi Brothers (300027.SZ), Ciwen Media (002343.SZ), Huawei Culture (002502.SZ), Tang De Film and Television (300426.SZ) and Hualu Baina (300291.SZ), all suffered losses last year, among which the former "film brother". A large number of game listed companies released loss-making financial reports, among which, the "loss king" Tianshen Entertainment had a pre-loss amount of 7.8 billion yuan, of which 4.9 billion yuan was accrued for goodwill impairment.

  "Behind the decline of the film and television industry is the outbreak of some industry problems under the rapid development for many years, mainly focusing on the two elements of over-reliance on IP and stars. As a result, the value of stars and IP is rising, and video websites are constantly posting money. However, with the high pay of star artists corrected by all parties last year, IP has repeatedly failed, and the original industrial value chain model is no longer suitable, so it is necessary to build a new industrial value chain." Zhou Chen, an entertainment industry analyst, said.

  According to statistics, among the TV dramas with TOP45 broadcast volume of Tencent Video in 2018, TV dramas with non-big IP and non-traffic stars accounted for 62.22%; In TOP35′ s variety show, the proportion of non-big IP and non-traffic stars is as high as 54.17%. Wang Juan, editor-in-chief of Tencent Video, said that with the ebb tide of big stars and big IP, users will be more critical, and good works in the future will need to meet users’ psychological demands, be well-made and be innovative.

  Since last year, three major video websites, Youku, Iqiyi and Tencent Video, have jointly issued a document to boycott the high pay of stars. IP failure has also aggravated the cold winter of the film and television industry. Wang Xiaohui, chief content officer of iQiyi, said that the previous big IP model was shattered. Typical examples are Tian Sheng Chang Ge and Wu Dong Gan Kun, which are far below the expected results.

  The cold winter of the entertainment industry is mainly reflected in the upper reaches of the industrial chain, but video websites have not been affected too much. On the contrary, the influence of online channels is constantly expanding. According to the China TV Drama Industry Development Report 2019, 382 new dramas were broadcast in 2018, of which the number of webcasts is more than twice that of Shangxing dramas, accounting for over two-thirds, and the quality of online dramas is getting stronger and stronger.

  Hou Hongliang said: "The emergence of online video has subverted the traditional TV play mode and industrial model, and the online channel has natural advantages. Take online drama as an example, online drama should be consistent with its communication form, viewing scene, revenue model and user’s demands, instead of simply premiering on the online platform. In traditional TV dramas, every creation must strive for the largest number of viewers, so that it is possible to obtain better viewing data from a small number of sample households. The choice of paying users of online dramas is very clear. It is very important to study the demands of target audiences and accurately locate works. Therefore, the direction of online drama creation must be market segmentation, typology of themes, and whose strategy and content are more accurate. "

  The rise of video websites to build a new world of entertainment

  From the initial second-round broadcast platform of movies and TV series, to the linkage between Internet and TV stations, and then to the solo broadcast of self-made TV dramas, the voice of video websites is constantly improving, and video websites have also paid a lot of financial costs. In this case, video websites need to strengthen the control of upstream and downstream to better control costs and expand profit models.

  Wang Xiaohui said: "The copyright of new media has dropped from 18 million to 8 million now, and most of them are at 3 million." On the other hand, build your own IP, stars and related TV dramas. Last year, Gong Yu, the founder and CEO of Aiqiyi, put forward the vision of "Apple Orchard", that is, to expand the content ecology of Aiqiyi from video to pan-entertainment fields such as literature, animation, live broadcast, games, e-commerce, ticketing and artist brokerage.

  At the Iqiyi World Conference, iQiyi systematically displayed 21 application service product brand matrices including iQiyi main station, Chibabu, iQiyi bubble, iQiyi sports and iQiyi VR for the first time. At the same time, the two innovative directions of iQiyi original film plan and interactive content technical standards were officially released, aiming at providing solutions to the problems currently faced by the partners in cinema films and multi-content fields through business model innovation and technology and content combination innovation.

  The increasing dominance of video websites means that video websites will continue to strengthen content control, and a number of external entertainment companies will also be embedded in the industrial chain of video websites to strengthen cooperation.

  Then, when there are problems with stars and IP, can video websites lead content creation to reduce industry risks and build a healthier industry ecology? In Gong Yu’s view, video websites have three magic weapons: one fish eats more, original content and technical support. Content originality is the basis for video websites to integrate internal and external resources to create high-quality content, while technical capability support is to continuously reduce the risk of film and television investment and improve the ability to create explosions through artificial intelligence, big data and even the latest film and television technology such as interactive video technology. The mode of eating more than one fish is to help maximize the value of entertainment content, and only a few major video websites can achieve these three points at present.

  After the cold winter is a new round of rapid development of the entertainment industry, and the dominant players will become video website giants.

  In the face of the cold winter, Wang Xiaohui believes that the superposition effect of the emerging generation with different consumption views and wealth after the 1980 s and the Internet users after the 1990 s has brought stronger impetus to the entertainment industry. "Users have a stronger demand for high-quality content and a stronger demand for high-quality content that is suitable for their own personalized content. After 80, you can pay for the game, and after 90, you can pay for The Avengers. The locomotive of this industry is the Internet, which has revolutionized all industries, including our entertainment industry. In the current era, the trend of the entertainment industry and our update cycle and frequency of fresh content are getting shorter and faster. " Wang Xiaohui said.

  A large part of the growth of the entertainment industry is the growth of the content payment market, which is a big plus for video websites. In 2018, the number of subscriptions of global streaming media surpassed that of cable TV, and the number of online video members in China surpassed that of cable TV. In 2018, the iconic paid income of iQiyi became the largest source of income.

  No matter who dominates, it is basically centered on the audience. Hou Hongliang said: "In the process of constantly exploring the mode, type and differentiation of entertainment content, the most correct thing to do is not to despise the audience, not to give up the creative subject, not to lower the production level and awe of creation, and to constantly present it with more professional images and expressions."
