Studio worker delivering food: After waiting for more than 100 days, I finally see the light of day

  China News Service client side ******* on May 22 (Ren Siyu) from January 23 ****** Festival film files have been withdrawn s***ar, the cinema has been closed for more than 100 days.

  In the halls of many cinemas, there were also posters promoting the Spring Festival movies. During this period, a few cinemas were temporarily open and closed, and some cinemas said goodbye forever. Countless filmmakers were confused and anxious, staying and waiting, or leaving as soon as possible?

  A movie theater manager who goes by the online name "Don’t Character Xiaosheng" made a video of his daily delivery life. One of his common phrases is to wait for the spring flowers to bloom. When someone asks why he is still waiting for the spring flowers to bloom now that it is summer, he said, "It is waiting for the spring flowers that belong to us filmmakers."

  Cinema under the epidemic

  On May 19, Wu Xujie had been delivering food for a whole month. But he was a little depressed that day because he met a store that was not honest. The weight of the goods was written as 1 kilogram, but when he arrived, he found that it was several large boxes of bayberry, with a total weight of nearly 30 to 40 catties.

  A few days ago, he and his colleagues visited a movie theater under construction in Xiangshan County, Zhejiang Province during the day. At night, he switched from formal clothes to takeaway clothes, and completed the task of delivering 5 orders a day after 10 o’clock, subtracting 3 yuan in insurance premiums. A total of 29.9 yuan was earned.

  Wu Xujie is the store manager of Ningbo Yuyao Wanda Cinema, which generates about 20 million box office output each year and ranks among the top three in Ningbo. But since January 23, the theater has not been open for 119 days.

  In early 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic shut down the film industry. Wu Xujie and his colleagues had invested considerable energy in preparing for the Spring Festival, setting up the atmosphere, preparing food, arranging films, and recruiting and training many part-time college students, but they did not expect that they ushered in a long "holiday".

  In recent years, China’s film market has been booming. In fact, cinemas that rely on box office revenue are not as good as they seem. Under normal circumstances, the box office revenue generated by a film needs to pay 5% of the national film industry development special project funds and 3.3% of taxes and fees. The remaining 43% of the net box office goes to the producer, and 57% goes to the theater and the theater chain. The share of the theater and the theater chain depends on the specific situation.

  In the case of revenue interruption, the theater has to face a number of expenses, including rent, labor, equipment, publicity, maintenance, cleaning… On the days when the theater is closed, the staff also need to turn on the equipment for maintenance.

  In mid-to-late March, cinemas in some parts of China tried to resume work. Wu Xujie and colleagues also submitted applications, but they encountered "sudden brakes" before they could open. At the end of April, the National Film Administration estimated that due to the impact of the epidemic, the annual box office loss will exceed 30 billion yuan. Tianyancha data shows that 2,799 cinema-related enterprises have been cancelled or revoked in Quarter 1 in 2020.

  In order to recover costs, many cinemas have launched takeaway services, dealt with hoarded popcorn sausages at discounted prices, and turned cinemas into "wedding studios", but compared with the pressure of rent and labor costs, these incomes are only a drop in the bucket.

  Under the anxiety, many filmmakers tried to "change careers", some made masks, and some delivered express deliveries in the same city. Wu Xujie also realized that he could not be influenced by decadence for a long time. He planned to deliver takeout and make videos of his daily life, hoping to show a positive attitude and cheer up his equally anxious colleagues.

  Most of his colleagues were born in the 1990s and 1990s. "As a store manager, doing this can also set an example for other friends." On the other hand, he also wanted everyone to understand the real life of movie theater and studio workers.

  When filmmakers "switch careers" to deliver food

  In the past month, Wu Xujie has delivered supermarket goods, large-scale seafood, and expensive digital products. He has also sent them to the wrong place many times. When grabbing orders, he is "not brave enough". "They all say that delivering food is a hard job. In addition to strong winds and rain, they also have to face the sun and high temperature, which can only be realized when doing this job."

  After two weeks of delivery, Wu Xujie earned a total of 772.85 yuan on the three platforms. Compared with the electric car bought for 2,600 yuan and the professional raincoat bought for 99 yuan before, it can be said that "it is not enough to make ends meet", but he is not discouraged. "I think being able to stick to one thing, or being very happy and positive about the current work, is a good life exercise."

  Taking advantage of the opportunity to deliver takeout and shoot videos, he came into contact with ramen shop owners, online car drivers, driver drivers and other people from all walks of life, a takeaway brother joked with him, business will be better after college students start school, and business will be better when the studio resumes work. Because of the pandemic shutdown, people from all walks of life are delivering takeout, and it has become particularly difficult for them to grab orders.

  One day, he was chatting with a colleague, Ah Wei, whose wife works in film distribution, and both of them were "unemployed" during the epidemic. In order to make a living, Ah Wei first went to a restaurant street to work part-time, which cost 17 yuan an hour, and was busy from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm every day. Later, he found a manual job near his home, and cooperated with his mother and wife on the assembly line. If the speed was fast, he could earn more than 400 yuan a day.

  "You have to keep yourself busy every day, otherwise you won’t be able to maintain a good working condition." A Wei’s thoughts were the same as Wu Xujie’s, preparing for the resumption of work in the studio in the future.

  On the way to deliver food, Wu Xujie can always think of all kinds of work in the theater. One day, he received an anonymous reward of 18.88 yuan from a customer. The customer service told him that it may be because of the better service attitude. He thinks this should be related to the work in the studio. Every time he delivers an order, he will say "Happy dining" and "Please take it well. Thank you." Just like in the past, he and his friends will always patiently answer customers’ questions and say to them, "I wish you a happy movie viewing."

  Five years ago, Wu Xujie first entered the studio to work. That year, the domestic film market was very lively. What made him remember deeply was that in the past, audiences often left before the end of the main film, but when "Detective Chinatown" was released, even if it was an evening show, the theater was full of guests, and they had to wait until the subtitles were completely over before leaving.

  Five years later, the material for "Detective Chinatown 3" is still in theaters, but I don’t know when it will be released. Every week, Wu Xujie and his colleagues will go to the theater on duty. One day, he recalled in a video the pomp of the release of "Avengers 4" last year: "It was the biggest and hottest zero-point show I’ve ever seen. There were people in front of the ticket machines, and the sales area was full of fragrant popcorn. Now these scenes are gone. It’s very cold here, but I believe that the spring of filmmakers will come."

  At the end of April, he and his studio colleagues went hiking, all wearing T-shirts around the movie, standing on the top of the mountain and shouting: "We are filmmakers, see you tomorrow, because tomorrow will be better!" Wu Xujie cried as he edited the video.

  Like many filmmakers who are on the job, he is looking forward to hearing the news of the resumption of work in the cinema, even if it is just a point in time or a signal, at least to be mentally prepared.

  I’ll be waiting for you at the theater

  Wu Xujie often said in the video, "It is not because there is hope to persevere, but because of perseverance to see hope." Now, with the domestic epidemic prevention and control situation gradually improving, filmmakers have finally waited for a glimmer of hope.

  On May 8, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Doing a Good Job in the Normalization Prevention and Control of the COVID-19 epidemic", which mentioned that under the premise of implementing prevention and control measures, reservations and limited viewership can be taken to open closed entertainment venues such as theaters and amusement halls.

  Wu Xujie also saw the news at the first time, "After waiting for more than 100 days, I finally saw the dawn." In the WeChat group, the practitioners were excited and also expressed various worries.

  The next day, he attended a meeting organized by the local government department to discuss some of the difficulties the studio is currently facing and the preparations for its future opening. After the meeting from 50 or 60 kilometers away, Wu Xujie coincidentally received a tailwind order, which ended near his home. In order to maintain professionalism, he hurried home and changed into a takeaway suit before delivering it. "When the cinema officially opens, I will wear a shirt and welcome everyone."

  On the 13th, the Chinese poster of the Oscar-winning film "1917" was exposed, "Meet the cinema, still together". For the Chinese film market, such a poster release has been too long.

  On the 14th, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued tax and fee support policies for film and other industries, involving reduction and exemption of value-added tax and cultural undertaking construction fees; the Ministry of Finance and the State Film Administration issued an announcement that Hubei Province will be exempted from the national film undertaking development special project funds from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020; other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities will be exempted from the national film undertaking development special project funds from January 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020.

  Recently, Guizhou Province, Guangzhou City, Kunming City and other places have successively issued guidelines and opinions on the resumption of work, making it clear that under the premise of implementing prevention and control measures, they will open theaters by appointment and limited viewership.

  With the idea of resuming work, it is still unknown when the theater will actually open, what movies will be shown after opening, and how many people will come. Recently, Wu Xujie was still working part-time to deliver food, and the mantra in his video changed from "waiting for spring flowers to bloom" to "believe that tomorrow will be better."

  On May 18, Mr. Wu waited 15 minutes for a 30-minute meal at the door of a restaurant, but he was not angry because he saw a line of small print under the rider’s pick-up area: "We are grateful for every time you wait." Thinking of the many people recently asking about the opening of the cinema and saying they missed the cinema, he said, "I also want to say to the customers waiting for the movie, every time you wait, we are grateful."

A traffic accident led to the "triplets" with the same license plate number (photo)

  Changchun Evening News reporter, Li He

  In the process of detecting a traffic hit-and-run case, the police on duty locked the suspected vehicle with the number plate Ji AY7526. With the further investigation of the case, the police found that there were three taxis using the number on the road. On the 15th, the driver Xu Moumou, who had been locked by the police, arrived, and all the "triplets" taxis were found.

  The "taxi" fled immediately after the accident

  At 11:00 on October 20, a traffic accident occurred in the north-south direction of the Eastern Expressway. A parallel taxi hit a normally moving SUV and instead of stopping, it accelerated to flee the scene.

  According to the video taken by the driving recorder, the police found that the vehicle involved was a taxi with Ji AY7526 plate. The police found the owner of the car on the same day, Wang Moumou. But Wang Moumou said there was no crash.

  At the same time, the police handling the case also checked the Ji AY7526 license plate taxi driven by Wang Moumou. The vehicle identification number, engine number and other information of the car are all normal, and the results of the trace inspection show that the car has no traces of recent collision or maintenance. The taxi positioning information shows that it was active in the Green Park District at the time of the incident and did not appear at the crime location.

  Find the same number "triplets" in more than 10,000 photos

  Then, the police began to search for clues from the perspective of the car accident, and screened more than 10,000 screenshots of the license plate taxi from the vehicle information recorded by the city’s electronic police.

  Chen Yu, the police officer handling the case, found that there were three taxis with the same spray color using the number plate after detailed comparison of the pictures. The photos taken by the high definition camera can clearly identify the appearance of the driver. After comparison, it was found that Wang Moumou had driven two of them. That is to say, the first time I asked Wang Moumou about the concealment of the vehicle’s license plate.

  As long as it is illegal, no one can run away

  In a second interrogation of Mr. Wang, he eventually admitted that he had bought a Jetta sedan out of town, modified it in the style of a taxi, and illegally made the license plate of the vehicle. Usually this car is driven by relatives.

  The police then checked Wang Moumou’s taxi deck and found that it was not the vehicle that caused the accident. But in further investigation, it was learned that Wang Moumou had allowed Han Moumou to use Ji AY7526 license plate.

  The police finally learned through a large number of investigations that the car is currently driven by Xu Moumou. On November 15, Xu Moumou, who has been locked by the police, came to the case and confessed to the hit-and-run accident. The traffic police department will impose a fine of 2,000 yuan, 12 points on the driver’s license and 15 days of detention according to law. Wang Moumou, who is suspected of using other vehicle number plates, will also be punished by law.

Will Jackie Chan’s latest masterpiece be the next "Taking Tiger Mountain"?

Poster


The sun in the west is about to set.
It was quiet on Weishan Lake.
Play my beloved earth lute,
Sing that moving song…

– "Play My Beloved Earth Pipa"

    1905 movie network feature This song sung all over the country for decades of the theme song once again in the cinema, from the mouth of the railway guerrillas to every Chinese heart, through the whole of Jackie Chan’s new "Railway Flying Tiger".

    As the poster above presents the beauty of the wind, several protagonists in the film "Railway Flying Tiger" appear in the frozen frame of the superheroes in the comics, from Jackie Chan’s role as the captain of the railway guerrillas Ma Yuan, to Huang Zitao’s role as the little tailor Hai Hai, to Wang Kai’s role as the sharpshooter Fan Chuan, and Wang Continental’s role as the Eighth Route Army Renguo, as well as the hidden protagonist Rui Ge, etc. In addition to giving a strong visual impact, it makes people feel vaguely: these ordinary little people may be the superheroes of China.

Jackie Chan, Huang Zitao, Wang Kai, Wang Continental’s comic poster

    This visual style ranges from the Flying Tigers’ windproof glasses, gloves, berets, armed belts, and other accessories, to clothing colors such as red, yellow, and blue, and then to the influence of train styling and station design. Compared with previous anti-Japanese dramas and anti-Japanese war films, it is more in line with modern aesthetics, providing more possibilities for red classic films.

    When it comes to red classics, the Tsui Hark version released on the same day two years ago was a great success, and its flashbacks echoed at the beginning and end were also borrowed from "Flying Tiger of Railway", showing the inheritance of the spirit of "Flying Tiger" and bringing out the latter’s biggest easter egg.

    Compared with the unique skills of the Eight King Kong of Tiger Mountain, the railway guerrillas also have their own strengths, and they all seem to be able to find corresponding characters in the American superheroes – the calm command of the guerrilla leader Jackie Chan, which corresponds to Captain America in the Reunion; the scissors stabbing of the little tailor Huang Zidao, which corresponds to the assassin Black Widow in the Reunion; the sharpshooter Wang Kai’s Hundred Steps Through the Yang, which corresponds to the eagle’s eye in the Reunion; the power of Sangping, which corresponds to the Hulk in the Reunion; and the hidden protagonist "Wang Sledgehammer", who is proficient in machinery and hammer dancing, which corresponds to the Iron Man in the Reunion…

    Therefore, our familiar red classics became the Chinese folk superhero anti-Japanese legend – fortunately not the anti-Japanese drama that tore the crotch of the devil to hide thunder, but the convincing setting that just fits the character image, so their housekeeping skills are not as against the sky as the Reunion, which allows them to face the well-organized and fierce Japanese army with just a few people. They still need to be constantly smart and strengthen the team to complete the ultimate task of destroying the Japanese railway transportation step by step.

    Since it is the ultimate mission, it cannot be achieved overnight. The film is divided into five interlocking and reversing chapters – train hijacking, rescuing the wounded, making explosives, jacking prison carts and blowing up bridges. It transforms the entire theater into a speeding train on the plains, transporting the audience to the days full of war and feelings.

    Next, let’s talk about the outstanding stars – Jackie Chan’s big brother is more simple and honest in the portrayal of characters, which is more in line with the image of Shandong Han, and his signature of kung fu comedy naturally makes this film a constant laughing stock –

    Huang Zitao, who made his screen debut, almost acted as a tailor-made literary and passionate young man, with an unexpectedly natural performance and smooth movements –

    The heroic Wang Kai can be called a representative of the guerrilla’s appearance and arrogance. Every appearance is worth the ticket price of the female audience, especially the scene of riding a horse and chasing a car to save people, which reminds people of the hero Zorro –

    Although the special actor Wang Continental has the shortcoming of Mandarin, the scene of charging with the Eighth Route Army at the last moment is really exciting –

    As for Ikeuchi Hiroyuki and Zhang Lanxin, who play the villain chief of the Japanese military police, they also vividly and naturally interpret the wretched and arrogant respectively, and there is no sense of discord in the comedy section –

    And from then to then, Ding Qian’s works have always been hard-core and humorous with a gloomy and a sigh, until this sunny and romantic "Flying Tiger on Railways" makes Ding Sheng also complete a "clearing the clouds and seeing the sun" in art.

    In fact, this is the third collaboration between Ding Sheng and Jackie Chan. Among the many roles Jackie Chan plays, the most similar in spirit to Ma Yuan, the guerrilla leader in "Flying Tiger", is Liang Dabing in 2010’s "Little Soldier" – both low-level little people have plain pastoral dreams, both have hesitations that they will regret if they don’t do big things, and both have the responsibility of "the world rises and falls, and everyone is responsible".

Jackie Chan in "Young Soldier"

    Even in the "Flying Tiger" movie, Jackie Chan sang the song from "Young Soldier" directly after singing the verse part of "Play My Beloved Earth Pipa" with everyone –

A big road leads to my house,

My family lives at the foot of Yoliang Yaliang Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there are five acres of fertile land,

Five acres of fertile land, what to plant…

    Indeed, the same story that happened in Shandong makes this chaotic entry feel incongruous.

    Therefore, we should rejoice that today, with the decline of individual heroism, we have finally come to this "Hero Song" that has crossed the millennium and echoed in Liangshanbo and Weishan Lake.

    We should be grateful that two years after Xu Hark led the Northeast bandit suppression heroes to outsmart Tiger Mountain, we finally came to this song of praise for the children of Shandong heroes who dedicated their actions to their mothers.

    We should be grateful that at the moment when the anti-Japanese drama was dragged into the water by the anti-Japanese drama, we have finally waited for such a masterpiece worth going to the cinema to enjoy and enjoy together.

    We should be grateful that in the era of imaginative American superheroes on the big screen, we can finally see in the cinema the little people from China who have written history and belong to our big heroes.

  Sichuan, children need everyone’s help


  Yesterday morning, the special team of "512 Care Action for the Performing Arts Industry" from Hong Kong went to Mianyang. At the resettlement site of Jiuzhou Gymnasium in Mianyang, the film crew recorded the children’s words and deeds with cameras: a little girl reading a book in the corner, no matter what others ask her, she only stares at the pictures on the books; in the tent school, the children look at all kinds of donated books, and these children burst into tears when they mention their hometown; in the corner of the classroom, there are children’s paintings, each one is "shocking"… The staff on the side introduced that the children here have psychological problems to some extent, so more professionals are needed for psychological counseling. According to the film crew Mr. Chan, because children are the most seriously injured group in this disaster, they want to bring these scenes back to Hong Kong to edit into short films. It is reported that on the 28th of this month, the Hong Kong Performers Association and nine major affiliates plan to form a team, led by President Tam Wing-lin Lau Dehua, Joey Yung, Cheng Xiuwen and other people to visit the disaster area. The organizer of the event, Andy Lau, pointed out that the reconstruction of the Sichuan disaster area needs continuous attention. Such as orphan support, school reconstruction and education projects are the main support projects of the "512 Care Action in the performing arts industry".


  Hong Kong will hold a marathon benefit performance on June 1


  Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Andy Lau also called a press conference for the entertainment industry yesterday. Zhang Guoli, Ren Xianqi, Cheng Xiuwen and other celebrities attended. At the meeting, Andy announced the official launch of the "512 Care Action in the Performing Industry". In the Care Action, the largest charity show in Hong Kong’s history will be held at the venue of Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Central World on June 1. It will gather hundreds of artists to perform marathon performances to raise money for disaster relief. It is reported that the show will start from 2.30pm to 10pm on the same day. The minimum donation amount for audience admission is HK $20. All proceeds from the day will be donated to six international charities including UNICEF and Oxfam.


  The choice of June 1 also has a special meaning. Andy Lau said that reconstruction takes a long time and cannot be completed in one or two years. Therefore, this caring action mainly focuses on orphans, education, and the reconstruction of schools. This is a commitment to them. Therefore, the choice of June 1 is also a gift for children. It is reported that the "512 Care Action for the Performing Arts" has set a seven-year disaster relief plan. The performing arts industry will work with the Hong Kong children who participated in the event for seven consecutive years to contribute to the people in the disaster area. The event consists of artists giving related gifts to the children in Hong Kong every year for seven consecutive years. The children donate money to donate love every year. By the seventh year, they can piece together the seven gifts into a complete item, which is very meaningful.

138,700 on sale! Geely Galaxy L7 listed, hybrid market volume intensified

The daily economic news reports that the mixed market has welcomed another challenger.

On May 31, Geely Galaxy L7 was officially launched. The new car launched a total of 5 models. The official guide price was 138,700~ 173,700 yuan, which was lower than market expectations. And many netizens also called "Zhenxiang" "Hybrid car price has been shot down" "Independent real cow" and so on.

In fact, the "price war" launched by the car market this year has spread to the new car market, which can be seen from the hybrid ace products of the independent Three Musketeers. On May 15, Haval Xiaolong MAX was officially launched, with a total of 3 models, priced at 159,800~ 179,800 yuan; on May 25, BYD’s new Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition was officially launched, and the new car released a total of 4 models, continuing the tradition of "the same price of oil and electricity" and guiding the price 135,800~ 159,800 yuan.

From the above data, it can be seen that Geely Galaxy L7, Haval Xiaolong MAX and BYD Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition have a high degree of overlap in the price range of these two models, which will form a frontal competition.

"The recent listing of autonomous hybrid products is not priced high, which is conducive to full competition in the new energy vehicle market. It can also enhance product competitiveness and achieve replacement for oil vehicles. At the same time, it will further reduce the general price of hybrid models." Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, said in an interview with the Daily Economic News reporter.

In fact, the above-mentioned models are not just about price, but also compete in various aspects such as new car performance configuration, intelligent technology, and user service.

As the first model of the Galaxy product series, Geely Galaxy L7 is equipped with a "new generation Raytheon Hybrid 8848" power system, with a thermal efficiency of 44.26%, a fuel consumption of 5.23L (NEDC 4.4L) for 100 kilometers of power loss, and a comprehensive cruising range of 1370km under CLTC conditions. In addition, the new car is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip as standard, and the Keyword Spotting speed is only 0.5 seconds. It supports full scene visibility, four-tone zone recognition, and deep continuous dialogue.

It is worth noting that the battery safety is also regarded as a brand life infra by Geely Galaxy. It is understood that Geely Galaxy L7 is equipped with the "Aegis battery safety system" for the first time. Not long ago, the new car completed the vehicle-level safety test at the China Automotive Research and Automotive Safety Technology Center, and passed the vehicle speed 40km/h forward scraping, the vehicle speed 7km/h rear scraping, the vehicle 20km/h negative impact and the vehicle bottom support four vehicle-level battery safety tests.

The Haval Xiaolong MAX, which was listed first, was also highly expected by Great Wall Motors. It is reported that the Haval Xiaolong MAX is the first model equipped with the Great Wall’s new hybrid architecture Hi4 intelligent electric hybrid four-wheel drive system, carrying the important mission of the Haval brand’s transformation to new energy.

It is worth noting that in the field of new energy vehicles, both Geely Galaxy and Great Wall Haval are trying to catch up with BYD in front. Data show that BYD’s cumulative sales in 2022 exceeded 1.86 million new cars, an increase of more than 150% year-on-year. In the first quarter of this year, BYD’s cumulative sales exceeded 552,000 vehicles, an increase of 92.81% year-on-year, and its share in the domestic new energy vehicle market increased by 13 percentage points.

It is worth mentioning that BYD has taken the lead in the hybrid market. The cumulative sales of hybrid models last year were 946,000, an increase of 246.7% year-on-year. Among them, the Song PLUS DM-i won the championship of the SUV model sales list in 2022 with more than 380,000 sales. The BYD Song PLUS DM-i is already a model released two years ago, and is expected to be released in the middle of this year. Industry experts speculate that the mid-term change will also be like the series of championship models launched by BYD Dynasty Network this year, with multi-faceted upgrades in configuration, but the price will be reduced.

In the context of the launch of a number of new cars, the hybrid market also shows great growth potential. According to the data of the Passenger Federation, from January to April this year, the retail sales of plug-in hybrid models increased by 92.1% year-on-year, and the retail sales of pure electric models increased by 19.9% year-on-year. It is argued that in addition to BYD, Geely and Great Wall, more brands will join the "hybrid war", and this market segment will also be more "involution".
