Sichuan and four provinces (cities) have established mutual recognition mechanisms for health certificates, including Guangdong, Zhejiang, Chongqing and Yunnan.

On February 24, the reporter learned from the special class of migrant workers’ service in the province that the provinces that have signed the Memorandum of Cooperation on Promoting the Safe and Orderly Return of Migrant Workers to their Posts and reached a consensus on labor cooperation with our province are based on the previous Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces, and then Yunnan and Chongqing provinces (cities) are added.

According to reports, during the epidemic, our province will strengthen close cooperation with Guangdong, Zhejiang, Chongqing and Yunnan. On the one hand, we will realize the timely and safe return of migrant workers in Sichuan Province as soon as possible. On the other hand, we will jointly agree on relevant epidemic prevention and control measures and strengthen the management of migrant workers to prevent the spread of the epidemic caused by the flow of people.

Specifically, our province is responsible for sorting out and summarizing the number, travel time, job destination and employment industry of people who are willing to return to work in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Chongqing and Yunnan provinces (cities), giving priority to organizing people in epidemic-free or low-risk areas, as well as old employees of enterprises and counterparts to help file and set up cards, and gradually expanding the docking scope according to the epidemic prevention and control work and the resumption of work of enterprises. Release and push the enterprise employment information provided by the above four provinces (cities), and do a good job of connecting with the employment enterprises in job requirements, employment time, salary and treatment.

At the same time, our province is responsible for providing pre-job health services for those who have returned to work, issuing relevant health certificates to those who meet the requirements, and guiding migrant workers to make health declarations according to the requirements of the provinces (cities) where they have returned to work. Our province also agrees with the health codes provided by the personnel returning to Sichuan from the above four provinces (cities).

The reporter learned that in addition to the above four provinces (cities), our province has recently conducted labor cooperation docking with eight provinces including Fujian, Jiangsu, Beijing, Shanghai, Shaanxi, Xinjiang, Gansu and Guizhou, and is ready to sign a memorandum of labor cooperation to fully open up the input and output channels for migrant workers to return to work.(Reporter   Liu Chunhua)

See 13 behind-the-scenes tidbits that Tenet must know.

Nolan’s new film, Tenet, is now officially released in China. Like Inception and Interstellar before him, Tenet is also a brain-burning blockbuster, and has played a new role in the concept of time.

 

The film tells that the word "tenet" is the only clue and weapon when the world is in danger. The protagonist travels around the world, carrying out secret service activities, trying to reveal the mystery of "creed" and complete a mysterious task that transcends real time.

This task is not a time journey, but a reversal of time and space.

 

The film was written and directed by Christopher Nolan, and was shot with IMAX and 70mm film camera. emma thomas and Nolan were filmmakers, Thomas haislip was executive producer, and John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, elizabeth debicki, Kenneth Blana and michael caine starred in it.In order to ensure the film effect, the crew traveled to seven countries to shoot.

 

Nolan’s behind-the-scenes team members include photography director kristof van hout, art director Nathan Crowley and editor Jennifer Lame. The original music of the film was created by Ludwig Granson.

1.The total amount of film is about 1.6 million feet

Reconstruct IMAX electronic components, and shoot at the same time.

More than ten years ago, Christopher Nolan was the first person to shoot large movies with IMAX camera, and now he continues to use large-format cameras to break new ground. Nolan and photography director kristof van hout used IMAX cameras to shoot most scenes in Tenet, surpassing all previous works.

 

Hotema thinks this is beyond the reach of others. "We shot about 1.6 million feet of IMAX film, which obviously broke our own record. I can’t say for sure, but I will be surprised if there are other films made more. "

 

In addition to the creative use of IMAX cameras, the details of the story also require a breakthrough in IMAX technology. Hotema said: "One of the biggest technical challenges is that we hope that the IMAX camera can rewind the tape to capture the effect that the film can’t be shot when shooting in the forward direction."

"IMAX cameras have powerful motors, and they also need to be careful and accurate when using them. They can’t rewind at all. The IMAX team was very helpful. They worked with us in research and development, reconstructed the mechanical parts in the film box, and reconstructed the electronic components, thus allowing us to shoot forward and backward simultaneously. "

 

IMAX camera has an obvious disadvantage: it is much noisier than traditional cameras. However, with the help of the latest generation of noise enclosures, Hotema has successfully applied them more widely than ever before. However, he said frankly: "We couldn’t present intimate conversation scenes with IMAX cameras, so we used 65mm cameras again."

 

Hotema’s proficiency in operating the relatively bulky IMAX camera left a deep impression on the actors.

Starring Washington said: "He contributed a lot. Those cameras are very heavy, and he has been shooting. He and Nolan never sit down, so I thought,’ I can’t be tired, and I can’t sit down if they are not tired.’ In this atmosphere, you can’t help but stick to it and go all out. "

 

"Nolan has the most amazing physique I have ever seen. He seems to live on earl grey," Pattinson agreed with a smile. "He is definitely an indomitable representative."

2.Nolan chose Washington as the leading role in Black Party.

Pattinson was chosen because of the contrast of recent works.

Regarding the choice of the hero, Nolan said: "We need an actor who can support the screen. When "Black Party" made its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival, it was at an important stage of Tenet’s conception. "

"The film not only left a deep impression on me, but also surprised me with the natural charm of John David Washington, who is so shining on the screen, which made me full of confidence that he can become the core of our film."

Washington told us that the first thing that attracted him to join Tenet was a name, namely Christopher Nolan.

He said: "I have seen every one of his films, so whatever he wants me to do, I promise.He is a dynamic film storyteller, so he can integrate these profound concepts and build these unique worlds. You will be attracted by what you see, whether it’s action scenes, thriller elements or movie soundtrack … but the core of the movie is the relationship between the characters, the situation around the characters, the need for companionship and the way to explore different emotions. The role is always the part that I am most involved in. "

 

The hero has a helper named Neil to help him complete his mission. Thomas thinks that Robert Pattinson has added real brilliance to the film. "Over the years, we have obviously seen many of his works and enjoyed them very much, and his recent movies have shown us a completely different him, which has aroused our interest. It was really exciting to see him trying to fit into the role, so we were very happy when he agreed to join the film. He is really awesome. "

3. The heroine was originally set as "the elderly"

Debic changed Nolan by acting.

On his mission trip, the hero encountered the biggest obstructionist, a powerful Russian oligarch named Andrei Sattar.

Thomas said: "I think Kenneth will be excited to challenge this unprecedented villain role." I mean, I’ve seen him play the bad guy before, but it’s not as bad as this one. This one is just terrible. But in fact, he is definitely the sweetest and most charming person you want to meet. Kenneth’s most impressive performance was that he chatted happily with him at the scene, and then he turned into a demon in the blink of an eye, which was incredible. And he did it. "

Sattar’s wife Kate is played by elizabeth debicki, and Thomas revealed: "Kate’s role is actually re-conceived for Derbyshire. Kate used to be an elderly character, but,I watched her in Widows’ Union and was impressed by her acting skills.I specially invited Nolan to watch the film for her, and he agreed. Therefore, Kate was rewritten by Elizabeth. She’s amazing. "

Debizi said: "When you get such a profound and interesting script and a role like Kate, and you will partner with such an outstanding figure as Chris Nolan, you will surrender." Is there any reason not to surrender? Life doesn’t always give you so many ideas as gifts, which is what this movie means to me. "

Michael caine, the legendary supporting actor of Nolan’s film, was called "Nolan lucky one" by Thomas: "Without michael caine, it wouldn’t be Nolan’s film," Thomas said with a smile. "It’s lucky and honored to continue to cooperate with him."

4.Rebuild the abandoned grand theater

Block six highways for eight kilometers and chase cars.

As the heavily armed production team entered the Kiev Opera House, Tenet’s filming began.

The crew then went to the location.Tallinn EstoniaLinnahall, a huge venue, continued filming.

The stadium was built for the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, when Estonia was part of the former Soviet Union. Nathan Crowley pointed out: "I think this is one of my favorite shooting sites. Overlooking the Baltic Sea from here, its architecture combines the fauvism art with the Mayan temple style. It’s big and magnificent. It completely meets all the requirements put forward by Chris and me. Very suitable for our movie. "

 

Crowley pointed out that although it is magnificent, it lacks maintenance and has been abandoned for about ten years. The seat was in a terrible state, the carpet was gone, and the concrete was greatly damaged. There are graffiti and broken glass everywhere, and there are no lights. Repairing is a big project.

 

"We have thoroughly cleaned, rebuilt the stage, polished the concrete surface and rebuilt some external walls that have been warped for many years. We have to repair the gate and replace a lot of glass. We also repaired the lighting equipment on site and added new lighting facilities. We also spent a lot of time dealing with all the audience seats and carpets. For us, it is the most important thing to keep the original appearance and make a little change. This is a great building, and I hope Tallinn can keep it. "

Undoubtedly, the most challenging scene is the well-designed car chase scene, which takes place on the busy expressway in the center of Tallinn, with constant traffic.

 

The first step is not only to obtain a long road use permit, but also to gain several weeks of shooting time.

Executive producer Thomas haislip explained: "We are going to block an eight-kilometer section of a six-lane highway, which is located in the center of Estonia’s most densely populated area."

Even after being approved, he said frankly: "Every day, I worry that the application will not be passed. Fortunately, we were finally approved and there was enough time. We want to thank many people, from local authorities to the public, for their cooperation and support. "

5. Dozens of stunt drivers drive retrograde.

Difficult scenes are controlled by stunt drivers.

Because there are too many vehicles, careful planning is the key to capture the action. The visual effects department led by andrew jackson contributed a lot, providing Nolan, actors and other departments with a dynamic preview of all the shots as a reference.

 

Hotema pointed out: "For example, in a car chase, sometimes it goes forward and sometimes it goes backwards. At some point in time, these different timelines will be intertwined and affect each other, so we have to figure out every shot like a puzzle. "

"Andrew’s team has successfully conceptualized what we want to shoot in the computer, so that we can overlook the whole scene at any time or from any angle."

 

"When we consider the problems related to car chasing, our first assumption is always wrong," Nolan recalled. "Your intuition will preset some things for you, you will believe them, and then after some hard work to solve them, you will realize that your thinking is completely in the wrong direction, and intuition actually takes you on a completely wrong path. Therefore, for these complicated shots, we have to keep looking at the previewer. "

 

"It is very helpful that we can not only look at all the components at a specific time, but also look at their relationships and find out their physical and process principles. Andrew and his team are an extremely important part of this process, "Hotma added.

These shots also require special effects director Scott Fisher to work closely with George Coe Teller.

Fisher said: "We talked a lot about how to control the car in reverse. We conducted some experiments with George to find out how to complete the conversion. Then, the film crew did a great job, prepared real vehicles for the film and integrated them into our tests. "

 

Cottle added: "At the beginning of the test, we firmly believed that if the car was driven in reverse, it would be a real car that could travel 50 or 60 miles per hour. This cannot be faked. And after some training, we succeeded. "

 

Cottle has formed a core team of 20 top drivers from Los Angeles, many of whom have participated in many films directed by Nolan. One of them was Jim Wilkey, who flipped a truck quickly in The Dark Knight. Kotel said: "When we arrived in Estonia, we were already a leading team in the industry."

 

Here, senior stunt drivers from Estonia, Prague and Britain also joined them. Before filming began, Cottle said, "We walked onto an abandoned runway and rehearsed it from beginning to end, because we knew it would be the most difficult problem."

 

Actors are allowed to drive by themselves.Pattinson thinks, "This is extremely interesting. I am a very conservative driver, but it is so exciting to put an IMAX camera on the car console and then shuttle through the passing vehicles. "

Thomas said: "Robert didn’t mention his driving ability at all. In fact, he didn’t seem to be a professional. However, when the stunt team evaluated his ability, they were all surprised by Robit’s driving ability, so he finally drove himself many times in the movie. "

 

Although the actors have driving skills, the stunt team controlled the car in a difficult scene for safety reasons.

Kotler explained: "We installed control pods in all the main characters’ cars or at the top, and arranged stunt drivers in the pods installed on the roof or hidden somewhere in the car. It seems that the actor is driving, but in fact it is the stunt driver who is controlling. "

 

Kotel, who has participated in six stunt films directed by Nolan, said: "Chris’s efforts in safety are second to none; Everything hangs in my heart. He would keep turning his head and asking me,’ How do you feel about it? How’s it going? Is it safe? Do you need more time?’ If it is not safe, he will slow everyone down. My team and I and everyone else on the scene are pleased with this. "

 

Estonia’s shooting location also includes Tallinn Art Museum, which is the preface hall of Oslo Freeport; Inside the warehouse where Tallinn Freeport is located; Railway station; And the port where the hero arrived in Estonia.

6. A rocket launcher is installed on the back of the yacht.

Shooting helicopter scenes with search and rescue teams

 

Many scenes of Tenet’s villain, Sattar, have to be filmed on the yacht, including the ending that he is finally killed.

 

existItalyThe main stage is picturesque.Maarfi coastA blue sea nearby: a luxury super yacht, where Andre Sattar lives.

Neil Andrea, the maritime coordinator, is in charge of preparing various ships appearing in the Tenet. He found this yacht named "The Ninth Planet".

 

The yacht is more than 73 meters long and consists of six decks and a helipad. "This is extremely necessary for some unavoidable scenes, which is one of the key reasons why we like it," Crowley said. "The gray reinforced hull makes it look more industrial and suitable."

Blana agreed. "Sattar designed and built it as a palace, an escape tool and a refuge. It hints at how he reacts to the world in an offensive and defensive way. The yacht itself is an amazing sculpture and structural art work. "

"To be honest, all movies don’t have random shots, but every frame of Nolan’s movies allows you to judge whether the story will rock the boat at any time. Therefore, this ship-including its military attributes, colors, edges and corners-will bring you into the heart of Andre Sattar and spy on its vicious and dangerous nature. "

 

In order to enlarge its nature, Crowley said that he placed a unique device on the back of the ninth planet. "It’s a rocket launcher, and this semi-militarized image seems to say,’ Don’t go near the yacht’, which further makes you feel that you can’t get close to the yacht."

 

Be very careful when modifying the hull during shooting. Crowley said: "When renting a giant yacht, try not to cause any damage. Therefore, it is very important to protect the corners or any vulnerable surfaces when the crew carries all the equipment on board." In fact, the crew assigned four crew members to protect the yacht from any potential damage.

 

Crowley and his team did make some modifications to the yacht: a new deck was built on the existing deck to raise it, and a set was added to cater to the role of Sattar.

However, moving or removing existing decorations is more complicated. "We must be able to make room for lamps and cameras," Crowley said. "Moreover, at least most of the furniture in one room should be removed so that the actors have enough room to walk around." Cleaning the space means that deck parts must be removed, so, just in case, the crew of the ninth planet is responsible for the removal of furniture.

However, there is one place in this yacht that cannot be modified: the helicopter landing pad. It is impossible to bear the weight of Sattar’s Russian-made Mil Mi-8 twin-turbo helicopter, because this helicopter far exceeds the maximum bearing capacity of the lifting platform.

Haislip said, "We have to figure out how to operate the helicopter without actually landing. We successfully found an excellent search and rescue team from Eastern Europe. They conducted some tests. When we filmed the scene, they started to operate the helicopter, almost without hovering. It looked as if the wheels had been placed on the yacht, but in fact they were still hanging in the air-the gap between the wheels and the lifting platform was as thin as a piece of paper; Very accurate and powerful. "

 

Although the key scenes on the yacht were filmed in Vietnamese waters, filmmakers know that it is unrealistic to bring the "Ninth Planet" into Southeast Asia.

Instead, they chooseAmalfi coastReplace Vietnam. Crowley said: "Some cliffs and nearby areas do not have Italian architecture, so they can be regarded as Vietnam."

"Because it’s a long shot, we just need to change its appearance from a distance. We built a small pier on the beach and redecorated several Italian fishing boats to make them look like Vietnamese fishing boats-welcome to Vietnam. " He said with a smile.

7. Shoot the F50 floating catamaran by helicopter.

Build a replica of "Buck" for the actors to perform.

The Ninth Planet is Andrei Sattar’s home on the sea, but in order to seek excitement on the high seas, he owns two state-of-the-art F50 floating catamarans.

The F50 has a unique shape, and its 24-meter-high sail is very hard, similar to the wing of an airplane, which will generate more power when the wind blows.

 

Several hydrofoils under the hull lift the ship from the water, thus reducing the resistance and improving the speed. The speed of the F50 is even higher than 60 mph, so driving it requires both iron will and skilled handling ability: if it is too high, the ship will capsize; It’s too low, and the sense of speed is not good.

 

After the hero came into contact with Sattar, he took him aboard one of the ships, F50, and raced with the other.

For the character and its actor, this is an exciting journey. "It was very intense," Washington confirmed. "It was like flying at high altitude. I was thinking,’ Are you kidding me?’ But I’m not afraid, especially when Nolan and Hotema are tied in the middle and filming around us-they enjoy it so much that they can’t stop. This is so interesting. Smooth sailing! "

Even with the most experienced people at the helm, the filmmakers soon learned that there are established wind speed parameters for the safe navigation of the F50: 5-18 knots.

Hotema said: "We must take into account the extreme capacity of these ships. But it is difficult, because as a film crew, you are used to setting the speed. We have to shoot, get into the rhythm, and find interesting shots … but if the wind suddenly becomes too strong, we have to turn back. These ships are very good, and they are a wonderful experience in many ways, but they may also be frustrating-because we don’t set the speed, but the wind speed of nature determines it. "

 

When the F50 was moving at full speed, other ships couldn’t keep up, so Nolan and Hotema hired helicopters to push and pull the lens, and used camera boats equipped with IMAX cameras on the rim arm to capture the F50 flying by.

In order to take close-ups and dialogues, they built a "Buck"-a replica of the hull of the F50. When Nolan, Hotema and the film crew sit on the attached boat, the actors can perform in "Buck".

existLondon, EnglandI also filmed some scenes, such as the shipley auction house, where the protagonist first met Kate; There are also private schools attended by Kate’s son, and a private club where the hero meets Michael crosby, played by michael caine.

8. Complete the stunt preparation for jumping off a building in the rainstorm

Nolan proposed to let the actors "bounce"

When filming Indian scenes such as climbing stairs, the crew arrived at the end of the monsoon season.Mumbai, India.

Sometimes there are heavy rains here, and once again, the environment has mastered the right to speak.

 

"To tell the truth," haislip recalled, "we are ready to shoot and need the cooperation of the sun. Chris would say,’ All right, guys, get ready to go.’ Then, we saw clouds gathering, and then it rained cats and dogs. As soon as the rain stopped, we started to work again … even though we were all wet. "

 

Hotema said: "Shooting after dark requires a lot of lighting equipment, and even headlights should be installed on the surrounding roofs, because we need to illuminate a large area. The water brought by the heavy rain in the sky brought a lot of challenges to the use of high-voltage electricity, but we did it. Thanks to the crew; They are good at their jobs, which makes complicated situations easier to handle. "

Despite the bad weather, the shooting of complex stunts at night was completed.

The protagonist and Neil must enter the attic of a heavily guarded 20-storey building for activities. "We explored different options, and I said,’ What if we let them go up from the side wall plate?’" Nolan was even more unique and said,’ What will happen if you bounce them up?’ I said,’ Good!’ But I know that once Nolan is approved, there is no way out. We have made various plans to prepare for the stunt, because we must be able to really carry out this’ ejection’ shooting and, as always, ensure safety. "

 

Chris daniels, stunt director and rigging coordinator, flew to Mumbai for precise measurement to see how much rigging was needed. "It’s 250 feet high, so the only way is to build a truss." Cottle said.

 

A small team began to prepare and test stunts very early. "We only plan to stay in Mumbai for less than a week, so I know we must start as soon as we arrive! Moreover, they arrived during the monsoon season, so they had to complete the installation, testing and preparation in the super rainstorm, "Kotel said.

The truss is built on the roof, made of super-strong aluminum, with strong ropes to eject the actors, and then their stuntmen bounce up from the roof of the adjacent 7-story building.

The two were prone on the roof tied with a high-speed mechanical winch, which was carefully tested like all other equipment. "Then, at the press of a button, we will bounce them 70 feet high and touch the building for the first time."

 

Cottle said, "When we are finished, we will press the button again and eject them to the landing site. Washington and Pattinson completed the first part of the jump-we stopped it at the first 20 feet-so when the audience saw the characters first play, it was really their own performance. It’s amazing to see them do this. "

 

Just like the way in, the protagonist and Neil need to bounce off the side of the terrace when they leave here. Washington and Pattinson took the first step: they jumped into the safety net below before their stunt body double, Daniel Graham and Kyle McClane took over. Both actors admit that although they have complete confidence in preparation and safety measures, the take-off is still daunting.

Washington admitted with a smile: "Now I can laugh it off, but I was really nervous. There is a safety net under half a floor, and you still have to jump on it. After that, I am not afraid of anything. "

Pattinson agreed: "Even if we only need a small jump, it is no different from a big jump, because there are 20 floors below the safety net. I feel very terrible, very interesting, very cool, and have an illusory sense of fulfillment. "

 

"It’s much easier for me as a filmmaker to have such a strong actor in this movie," Nolan said. "This gave me more freedom to shoot and benefited me a lot."

 

During their stay in India, the film crew also went to Mumbai Bay overlooking the Arabian Sea to take photos.

9. Relying on the experience of Dunkirk to deal with extreme weather.

Shooting water scenes on an icebreaker

At the beginning of Tenet, the hero was isolated in a towering wind turbine of a huge offshore wind farm, trained for his next move, and waited for the truth to be revealed.

The exterior and interior here are all inThe Baltic Sea off the Danish coastlineReal shot on a wind farm in the middle of the mountain.

 

On the water, it was filmed on a large icebreaker, and the weather has always had an impact on logistics. "One of the main problems we encountered when shooting in this area was the weather," said Neil Andre. "We were in a wind farm, so we knew it would be difficult next. Sometimes, there will be strong winds of more than 40 knots and surges of 8 to 10 feet. However, we are prepared by relying on the experience gained from the filming of Dunkirk. "

The icebreaker was too big to sail into the harbor, so we moored it a mile from the coast. Actors, crew members, cameras and other equipment can only take the crew transport ship, cross the rough sea and get close to the icebreaker. Fortunately, the waves near the hull are smaller.

Andre explained: "The icebreaker is equipped with a dynamic global positioning system and a propeller on the side, which can be manipulated and parked in a proper position. Then, we let the stern meet the storm and reduced the wind, so that people and equipment can get on and off the ship safely. "

 

The crew is still there.Oslo NorwayShooting for one day, the scene includes a meeting between the protagonist and Neil on the roof of the Oslo Opera House, and shooting a discussion scene of three people on the city street about blowing up planes.

10. It’s cheaper to shoot an explosion with a retired plane.

A light source is set on the surrounding roof to keep it brightly lit for a mile.

The dramatic plane explosion that happened in Oslo in the film was actually located in.Victoria Airport in California on the southwest edge of Mojave Desert.Photographed.

Although Nolan tends to shoot the most explosive action scenes in the camera, he originally planned to use models and computer special effects to shoot the above scenes. Understandably, it is assumed from several aspects that it is not allowed to let a real plane blow up.

However, what is shocking is that Thomas revealed: "We calculated the accounts and found that buying a retired old plane for real shooting is actually more cost-effective than building a model and a full-scale internal stereo set."

 

Nolan, Crowley and haislip go to Victorville Airport, where there are old passenger planes to be disposed of.

Nolan’s fancy plane is a Boeing 747 jumbo jet … Funny thing is, before shooting the bombing plane, the crew had to do the repair work first.

Scott Fisher explained: "After the plane retires, they will take out the brakes and other parts, so we need to replace the braking system first. After all, being able to brake is the most important thing. We must also figure out the steering mechanism, what kind of tractor to use, and ensure that everything is running normally. "

Filmmakers still need permission to take off and land from the airport and the manufacturer Boeing, and Boeing needs to provide the hangar because it is part of the fixed position.

"This shot involves the plane hitting the car, hitting the lamppost, and finally hitting the building and igniting. In essence, everything we do is what the airport does not want to happen. "

 

Haislip said frankly: "With their consent, we had to let Boeing board the plane to prove that we would not damage their hangar or sealed plane. We invited physicists to do calculations for stunts and asked them whether the plane has such a large weight, braking force and speed, how long it will take to stop at the earliest and where it will stop. We showed them that if we pressed this button, the plane would travel 23 feet and stop there, and they finally approved us to shoot. "

 

For the sake of safety and control, the plane should not be allowed to slide on its own, so Jim wilkie drove the tractor to drag the plane along the runway and then suddenly turned; After that, the cable/pulley system is used to control the actual impact.

Cottle said: "Jim and Scott spent several weeks researching, and the rest of us finished the time calculation before they could join them."

The plane is controlled by the pilot in the pod near the wheel well in the belly. "We will never let anyone sit in the cockpit to keep them as far away from the collision zone and fireworks as possible."

 

When shooting at night, the crash scene needs to be equipped with huge lighting equipment. Hotema confirmed: "The lighting must cover a large area, so we set up light sources on the roofs of all the surrounding buildings. It is a challenge to keep the lights bright within a mile, because the background of shooting should be an airport in Oslo, and we don’t want to shoot the dry Mojave desert. "

 

Nolan said that even when shooting such a well-designed scene, he must remain calm so that others can follow his command.

 

He said: "I must be very objective and not whimsical. I must regard it as another set of shots, because department heads and people who put complex things together must be able to act calmly and safely. If everyone is obsessed with its scale, the details will be left out. You must pay close attention to safety, so there is a lot of communication between departments to know exactly where we can go and where we can put the camera. As long as we have a serious discussion around it at the same time, find ways together, and listen carefully to everyone’s reactions, things can be done. "

 

Amish Patel, the actor of maher, is an indispensable figure in this scene. He said: "Nolan likes big scenes, but everything depends on the story." He has planned everything, and you know you are safe. Then, just witness the miracle. "

Besides,Terminal building of Los Angeles International AirportAlso "performed" the terminal building of Oslo Airport.

11. Build a full-scale building to replace the green curtain.

Actors wear equipment and shuttle through the desert for 10 hours every day.

The most complicated scene in Tenet took place in an abandoned Russian city, and was shot in three locations.

The location is inMount Iger, a desert ghost town near Indio.Taken in an abandoned iron mine in the middle of the mountain. Nathan Crowley said, "We want to shoot in abandoned buildings in barren Siberian terrain without trees and plants. There are ready-made buildings in Mount Eagle, and we realized that we could transform them into old-fashioned apartment buildings. We also added buildings to keep the feeling of fauvism, which is another architectural language of this film since Linnahall. "

 

In addition to building many full-scale buildings, Crowley’s team also created what he called a "big model" and used forced perspective technology to make the already huge scenery look even bigger.

"You can use forced perspective to deceive your eyes," Crowley said. "We can make something seem to last forever, but this is just an illusion. In fact, this is an ancient technology, which has been largely replaced by the green screen, but we prefer the effective method. Why not use it? This can make creation more interesting, so we will do what we can, and if we can’t, we will ask our visual effects colleagues for help. "

In addition to several leading actors in the film, the entire stunt team and hundreds of extras also participated in the shooting of the Mount Eagle scene. Considering the requirements of the action and the venue, George Coe Teil arranged the first important event for the behind-the-scenes staff.

He said: "We know that everyone must suffer more than real soldiers, because they will put on military uniforms, carry guns and all the equipment, and wear these equipment for up to 10 hours every day in the hot desert, which requires a certain good attitude." But after that, the task gradually increased, and the actors ran wildly in the hilly area, with rocks and concrete blocks from the explosive buildings everywhere, surrounded by carefully set explosions.

 

Some interiors of Mount Eagle are inShed 16 on the set of Warner Bros..The studio is best known for its giant sink. "Studio 16 provides us with the height we need, because the sink allows you to rise 20 feet below the floor level," Crowley said. "We can’t build this kind of scenery in any other studio. Vertically, this is our best choice. "

12. Building turnstiles in closed shopping centers.

Some revolving doors can accommodate cars.

The third location is located.An old closed shopping mall in HawthorneInside, here, the crew built the largest turnstile. "This is the underground entrance of the solid industrial concrete turnstile. It was built here because it inherited the theme of Fauvism architecture, "Crowley said.

 

There are four turnstiles in the movie, each with a unique design: one is built in a warehouse in Estonia; Two were built in Hawthorne Shopping Center; The fourth building was built in studio 23 of Warner Bros.

"These scenes are very eye-catching," haislip said. "The huge revolving door is a magical mechanical device that moves and hinges mechanically. Some of them are so big that they can even accommodate cars. "

13.I have created two hours of material before shooting.

Musicians recorded at home and then synthesized under the epidemic situation.

Tenet’s last creativity was the score, which was composed by Ludwig Granson.

He said: "Although I have never worked with Nolan before, he has had a great influence on the way I experience movies. When talking to him, I was shocked by his vision of the soundtrack, his profound knowledge of music and his efforts to promote Tenet’s breakthrough in music production. "

"When I started writing, the dialogue between us became a listening forum. We analyzed sound, harmony and texture together, and then improved it little by little. Later, when he was about to start shooting around the world, he had two hours of music to listen to and choose. If he thinks of which soundtrack belongs to which character, or how the music fits in with the scene he shot that day in different ways, he records it and tells me. "

 

When describing his creative process, Granson said: "There are many sound hallucinations in the soundtrack. I spent a lot of time listening to familiar voices, and then skillfully processed them organically and digitally, thus reflecting the complex Tenet world. One of the biggest challenges I face in the creation of soundtrack is how can I present a musical roadmap to the audience when they are experiencing such a grand and technically unprecedented film? "

After successfully completing a variety of stunning stunts during photography, Nolan could never have thought that his commitment to safety would extend to the post of soundtrack. However, this year’s epidemic forced them to change the music venue.

 

Granson explained: "It is an unusual feeling to complete the creation of the soundtrack during the epidemic. We were lucky to be able to record the early orchestral chapters in Los Angeles, but the epidemic struck, and we had to reconsider the plan of recording large orchestral chapters for another two weeks. "

"When the whole world changed because of the epidemic, Nolan and I decided to complete the orchestral part of the score by letting musicians record music in their respective homes. This process sounds easy, but it is very troublesome to practice."

"But fortunately, the result was great. When all the content was mixed together, we were all very excited."

 

After the filming of Tenet was finished, Thomas said, "I hope the audience can escape from their daily lives and get involved in this story through this film. In the past few months, we all miss the feeling of being immersed in another world through movies. I am glad that the audience can enjoy this kind of fun again through this film. It will make you sit in the seat of the cinema and be firmly attracted to the front of your neck until the credits begin to roll. "

 

Nolan concluded: "I hope that through Tenet, I can provide the audience with a reason to feel and experience action movies again, especially spy movies. I want to show my audience a new way of watching movies, so that they can also feel the excitement of watching spy movies when I was a child. We also strive to provide a new experience for the audience, that is, when you watch the action scenes in the movie, you can’t predict what will happen next. We really hope to bring the audience an unprecedented journey of time and space reversal. "

President Rapidus: Under the optimal conditions, the production speed of 2-nanometer chip will be 3 times that of TSMC, and cooperation has been discussed with many enterprises.

On May 11th, Japanese semiconductor manufacturer Rapidus released a press release on May 1st, in which President Shoichi Koike revealed that the company was negotiating with a number of American AI chip design companies to expand its foundry business. At present, the company has signed a memorandum of cooperation with two start-ups such as Tenstorrent.

In addition, Koike Chunyi said that the trial production line of Rapidus in Chitose City, Hokkaido has partially started operation on April 1, and it is expected that all processes will be started within this month (May).

In the field of advanced semiconductor production, Rapidus obtained the manufacturing technology of 2 nm products from IBM in the United States, and strived to achieve mass production in 2027. Although this time is two years later than TSMC’s planned 2025, Koike Chunyi stressed that,Under the "optimal production conditions", the company’s speed from ordering to chip production and assembly can be increased to more than 2 to 3 times that of TSMC, forming a differentiated advantage..

Looking forward to the future, Koike Chunyi said that Rapidus will also actively deploy 1.4 nm technology after 2 nm. He stressed: "If you can’t devote yourself to developing the next generation technology in about two and a half to three years, you can’t win in the industrial chain." Once the 2 nm OEM business is on the right track, Rapidus will continue to advance the preparation of the next generation of semiconductors.

Parkinson’s disease standing drug "Xining" was out of stock in many places, and the online shopping price soared nearly 20 times.

Recently, many patients with Parkinson’s syndrome and their families told reporters that a commonly used drug "Xning" that they used to treat and relieve symptoms could not be distributed in hospitals, and they could only buy it online at a price 10 times or even 20 times higher than the medical insurance price, which caused great economic pressure. What is the reason?

Standing drugs for Parkinson’s disease are out of stock in many places.

Mr. Liu, 53 years old, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s syndrome in 2013. According to the doctor’s advice, he needed to take the drug "X Ning" to control his condition. However, since August last year, the hospital has been unable to match this medicine, and the medicine will be stopped. Mr. Liu is a little anxious.

Parkinson’s disease is caused by the lack of dopamine in the patient’s brain. "Xning" can supplement dopamine and is one of the main drugs to relieve and treat Parkinson’s symptoms. The patient, Ms. Ni, switched to other drugs because she could not get "X Ning". Unexpectedly, she had obvious discomfort symptoms and fell down, resulting in a broken hand.

On the official website of Shanghai Pharmaceutical Centralized Bidding and Purchasing Management Office, the reporter found that more than 30 local medical institutions in Shanghai have recently sent out the "X Ning" purchasing information, but most medical institutions have not purchased it in the end.

Li Gang, vice president of the Oriental Hospital affiliated to Tongji University: The company told us that the situation may be affected by the epidemic situation, and the supply was indeed unstable. Although we took many measures, by March 2021, many hospitals, including our hospital, were completely out of stock.

Not only in the Shanghai market, but also in many parts of the country, "X Ning" was in a hurry. Why is there a shortage of this medicine? At present, the drug is the general agent of Organon Company, and the reporter immediately contacted by telephone.

Department of Medicine, China, Organon: The output was originally relatively small, because this medicine was imported, and it was produced abroad, and it was repackaged at home, and the output was even less because of the epidemic situation or raw materials.

The price of online shopping has risen nearly twenty times.

The industry calls for improving the supply mechanism of shortage drugs.

Hospitals don’t have medicines, but many patients and their families told reporters that there are "X Ning" on online platforms such as JD.COM and Taobao, but the price of a box of 30 tablets is nearly 1000 yuan, which is nearly 20 times higher than the hospital price.

The reporter inquired about JD.COM, Tmall and other e-commerce platforms online and found that the price of a single box of "X Ning" was around 1,000 yuan, while the price of a single box sold in a hospital was about 50 yuan, and the price of e-commerce platforms increased by nearly 20 times.

Family members of patients: Last year, I could see a box in 180 yuan, and this spring, it was almost a box in 600 yuan. Now it should have risen to more than 1,000 yuan, and it is quite difficult to buy.

Family members of patients: a small box of medicine, 30 tablets, can be sold from more than 50 yuan to 980 yuan, which is very unbearable, because this medicine needs to be taken for a long time.

In addition to the high price, the supply of online shopping channels is also a concern for patients and their families.

Gao Jiechun, director of the Institute of Medical Management of Fudan University: Since it is a drug, even if it is bought online, how can it be separated from the national price monitoring? Therefore, for the safe use of drugs and the normal and orderly drug market, it should be all-round and comprehensive drug monitoring.

The reporter learned from the Shanghai Municipal Health and Health Commission that "X Ning" has indeed been out of stock intermittently since 2016, but alternative drugs can be found in clinic, so it has not been included in the shortage of drugs for hanging nets. The supply shortage of "X Ning" may continue. At present, how should these Parkinson’s patients transition? Professional doctors suggest that the specific drug substitution plan still depends on the actual condition of the patient.

Wang Jian, Chief Physician, Department of Neurology, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University: If it is made in China, then its formula ratio is different, so my advice to patients is to let them try to find a doctor who specializes in Parkinson’s disease. In most cases, it can be replaced with other drugs.

In fact, the shortage of cheap life-saving drugs is not just "Xning". In recent years, there are shortages of protamine for heart surgery and Cedilan injection for heart failure. How to improve the supply guarantee mechanism of drugs in short supply is a problem worth pondering.

Li Gang, vice president of the Oriental Hospital affiliated to Tongji University: There may be two main reasons for the shortage of drugs. The first category is raw materials, such as the lack of raw materials; The second is the reason for corporate profits.

Gao Jiechun, director of the Institute of Medical Management of Fudan University: For some cheap drugs, the profit may be higher, because its absolute profit makes it motivated. Conversely, for some high-priced drugs, we can make its profit lower, but its absolute value is not necessarily low. This is a pricing principle.

On the day of 618, there were 730 million active users of e-commerce, and the e-commerce platform was involved. The standard play style X broke through the new trick, and whoever was happy was sad.

On the day of 618, the number of participating users exceeded 700 million, which greatly promoted the consumption fever. This year, various e-commerce apps changed the promotion rhythm and overweight concessions, and the head brand joint platform put advertisements to grab user traffic. What was the effect from creating momentum to transformation?

Uncertainty and competition have intensified, and each platform has achieved growth through the change of marketing rhythm and the shortcomings of power categories.

1. The consumer market has bottomed out, and the e-commerce platform and merchants jointly seize certain opportunities. 

1.1 Affected by both macro-economy and epidemic situation, the consumer market bottomed out before the "618" promotion. 

With the unsealing of key cities in May and June, the consumer market is expected to usher in a recovery, and the 618 major promotion nodes provide a good opportunity for brands to drive sales. 

1.2 Policy standardizes the development of platform economy, and head players increase subsidies to merchants and consumers, aiming at grasping certain growth in the context of intensified competition.

2. The competition among users between platforms is deepening, and the conversion efficiency of two waves of traffic is different. 

2.1 The scale of large-scale users of mobile shopping continued to grow in the big promotion period. With the intensification of competition, the scale of industry users was more explosive at important nodes. 

According to QuestMobile data, the number of active users in the mobile shopping APP industry reached 730 million on June 18, 2022, up 15.0% year-on-year.

2.2 Each platform is still the focus of the marketing cycle, and it is promoted by actions such as inviting investment in advance and paying in advance.

Integrated e-commerce continues to struggle in the three-stage marketing, and the live e-commerce platform creates a specific outbreak period for the key categories of the platform to achieve the continuous outbreak of category business. 

2.3 In the past three years, the popularity of user participation in the head e-commerce platform has continued to heat up. The final payment period of Taobao has brought the peak of user scale ahead of schedule, and the fluctuation rhythm of users in JD.COM is the same as in previous years. 

According to QuestMobile data, the user scale of the head integrated e-commerce platform reached the peak on June 18th in 2022 during the "618" period, and the user scale in JD.COM increased the most on the day of the 618 carnival compared with the end of May 31st.

2.4 There was a cluster of promotional periods between platforms, and users of Amoy and JD.COM experienced traffic explosion on the first payment day. There was no concept of payment time in Pinduoduo, and the peak of user scale appeared two high points in the morning.

2.5 The water storage characteristics of people in front of important nodes are obvious, which helps the brand to realize efficient transformation. 

As the high point of the first wave of traffic, the payment efficiency of users has been significantly improved compared with normal days. With the help of platform marketing tools, the brand’s lock on potential users, users’ purchase of goods and the cooperation of marketing activities are more accurate, so it has also achieved a secondary improvement in the payment efficiency of the day.

2.6 On the first payment day, users’ cross-platform comparison and ordering behavior became more obvious, and the competition for users by platforms intensified.

3. Each platform takes great opportunities to attract a wider range of users. 

3.1 Under the background of high penetration of mobile e-commerce, Tmall and JD.COM’s newly installed users grew rapidly during the pre-sale period.

3.2 Under the stock market, the head players can cover the user groups more comprehensively with the help of big promotion marketing.

Both ends of the platform exert their strength to awaken users and empower businesses, and brands compete for traffic by rushing to market.

1. The "flow" of comprehensive e-commerce operation has changed to "reserved quantity", and the e-commerce crowd has been broadcast live in a refined way to undertake the realization of flow.

1.1 618 as a super marketing IP, the marketing links are deeply involved by many parties, the media and content positions set up to create a shopping atmosphere and guide traffic, and the marketing pattern of business positions is solid. 

1.2 Integrated e-commerce platform focuses on full-link, multi-node marketing actions to guide users’ full-cycle traffic.

With the advantage of traffic, the live e-commerce platform mainly focuses on the intra-domain content and traffic distribution mechanism, and leads to live transactions through user content consumption patterns. 

1.3 In addition to traffic and marketing subsidies, each platform relies on the marketing science platform and uses differentiated marketing resources to empower businesses. 

By upgrading the marketing platform, integrated e-commerce can promote the business of people and goods yard. In addition to creating high-quality short video/live content IP, live e-commerce provides businesses with refined operational capabilities for brand groups and marketing resources.

2. The enthusiasm of brand joint advertising is not diminished, and the rhythm is pre-emptive to compete for the first wave of traffic.

2.1 The cooperation between brands and channels has deepened, and at the same time, more brands have tried to improve their marketing effects through joint exposure through big promotion. 

2.2 The focus of joint launch is inclined to the drainage period, and e-commerce is coordinated to drain the key marketing nodes. 

2.3 The brand maintains cooperation with other channels on the basis of joint e-commerce, but the attempt of multi-platform cooperation is weakening.

Great promotion stimulates consumption and drives the marketing market to be hot.

1. Advertising is an effective marketing tool during the promotion period. 

1.1 On the whole, 618 material advertisements were placed around the payment date, and the center of gravity was tilted to 6.18.

1.2 During the promotion period, media resources are scarce, and social and video attribute media are more likely to concentrate the resources invested by brand owners and reach users’ attention in combination.

1.3 Typical consumer goods industries adopt multi-peak and high-point advertising.

During the promotion period, a variety of media types were laid out, among which the beauty care and household appliances industries preferred social media.

2. New categories and big items are the main targets of brand owners. 

2.1 The overall beauty industry is fierce, and brand players participate more; The categories of home scenes such as household appliances and computer office are relatively prominent.

2.2 Taking the beauty industry as an example, facial skin care products account for 90% of the investment resources; Head advertisers in the beauty industry are still dominated by internationally renowned brands.

2.3 Domestic brands are more inclined to focus on explosive products, and beauty products reach accurate segmentation through functional features.

2.4 Personal care products advertising focused on shampoo and hair care products.

2.5 Take the household appliance industry as an example. Most household appliances focus on refrigerators and air conditioners, while household appliances and small household appliances mainly focus on new types of household appliances.

Among household appliances and small household appliances, new brands are also relatively active.

3. The topic of manufacturing content of e-commerce platform is preheated, and the volume of popular categories is increased.

3.1 The platform side strengthens the link between consumers and brands through marketing activities, and improves the efficiency of "people-goods" matching. 

During the warm-up period of each platform, the sound volume is increased through topic hot search, so that brands can release new products or main explosive products.

4. Live e-commerce is normalized, and traffic is concentrated on brand sales.

4.1 During the promotion period, the live broadcast of goods continued to be hot, and the live broadcast room still served as a key sales conversion contact.

The marketing node of the live broadcast e-commerce platform moved forward, and the platform activities were further enriched. By creating various theme days and task competitions, the drainage and transformation of the live broadcast room were helped. 

There are many kinds of goods in the live broadcast room. QuestMobile data shows that during the period of June 18, 2022, the TOP3 sales of platform categories in Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker were skin care, leisure snacks and make-up.

4.2 During the promotion of Oriental Selection, "accident" broke out, and Lao Yu took over Lao Luo, driving a new round of live e-commerce to move towards scene marketing. 

As a phenomenal live broadcast room, Oriental Selection drives more mature consumers to participate in live e-commerce through scene-based live broadcast, and enhances the cultural level of live broadcast rooms with goods while expanding the crowd.

From now until August 1, these kinds of seafood are banned!

For four and a half months

Fishing season in East China Sea

Has already begun.

In 2024, the marine summer fishing moratorium system continued the management regulations in 2023, and continued to uniformly implement the fishing moratorium in the East China Sea from 12: 00 on May 1 to 12: 00 on September 16. Tens of thousands of fishing boats in Zhejiang Province fully entered the moratorium period.

Specific types of banned sales and

What are the prohibited places?

Let’s take a look ↓↓

According to the relevant regulations, from May 8 to August 1, it is forbidden to sell eight kinds of marine chilled or live aquatic products, such as hairtail, large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, silver pomfret, mackerel, Portunus trituberculatus, dragon head fish and shrimp, in various trading places such as farmers’ markets, supermarkets and temporary stalls, as well as restaurants and food stalls.

Four types of fishing boats, such as shrimp trawling with truss, cage pot, gill net and light fence, were specially licensed to catch shrimps, crabs, pelagic fish and other resources on August 1. After August 1st, Zhejiang residents can buy seafood such as swimming crabs caught in the East China Sea in the market.

During the fishing moratorium, should Zhejiang people who love seafood say goodbye to seafood completely?

Cultured and imported seafood will take over the "baton" of local seafood fishing. Clams, clams, mussels, squid, sea urchins and abalone are all good choices to buy seafood at this time.

Aquatic products such as bass, snapper, grouper and American red fish from marine farms, as well as aquatic products imported from abroad and caught in the ocean, are not within the scope of the ban on fishing, which can make up for the vacancy during this period.

In addition, according to the Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on the Protection of Wild Animals and the Decision of the Standing Committee of Zhejiang Provincial People’s Congress on the Total Prohibition of Illegal Trading and Overeating of Wild Animals, market organizers such as commodity trading markets and farmers’ markets are strictly prohibited from providing display, trading and consumption services for illegally selling, buying, eating and using wild animals and their products or hunting tools that are prohibited from being used.

Market organizers should earnestly fulfill their main responsibilities, strengthen the study of relevant knowledge such as the fishing moratorium system and wildlife protection, carry out extensive publicity and education for business operators, strengthen the management on the market, and immediately stop illegal transactions in the market and report to relevant departments in a timely manner.

The market supervision department will strengthen the inspection and supervision of various markets in accordance with the law, carry out in-depth special law enforcement actions such as "Breeze Action" and "Zhijiang Sword", severely crack down on illegal sales of aquatic products and illegal wildlife transactions in the market, strengthen cooperation with forestry, public security and other departments, and promote the investigation and management of illegal transactions in a list and closed-loop manner.

Beijing Internet Court explores the demarcation of the copyright of "AI Wensheng Map"

 

The picture shows the trial site.

  guide reading

  Who should the copyright of the picture "work" generated by artificial intelligence belong to? With the rapid development of generative artificial intelligence technology, users only need to input some prompt words, and the AI model can produce corresponding words, pictures, codes and other content. So, is the content generated by AI protected by copyright law? How to define and divide the ownership of corresponding rights? Can people freely use the content generated by AI on the network? These copyright issues involving artificial intelligence urgently need a "statement" from the law. At the end of 2023, the Beijing Internet Court concluded the dispute over the right of signature and information network communication between Li and Liu’s works, made clear for the first time the attribute of using artificial intelligence to generate a picture "work", and put forward the view that whether the content generated by artificial intelligence constitutes a work needs to be judged on a case-by-case basis. The judgment of this case has made a pioneering exploration on the legal issues related to the products of artificial intelligence.

  Pictures generated by artificial intelligence are used by others.

  In August 2023, the plaintiff Li sued the court, claiming that on February 24, 2023, he used the open source software Stable Diffusion to generate a picture involved in the case by inputting hints, and published the picture on the platform of Little Red Book. After the plaintiff found that the defendant Liu used the pictures involved in an article in Baijiahao. The defendant not only did not get his own permission, but also cut off the signature watermark, which made the relevant users mistakenly think that the defendant was the author of the work, seriously infringing on his right of signature and information network dissemination. Therefore, the court is requested to order the defendant to publicly apologize at Baijia, eliminate the influence and compensate the economic loss of 5,000 yuan.

  The defendant argued that the specific source of the pictures involved could not be provided, nor could the watermark of the pictures involved be explained, and it was uncertain whether the plaintiff enjoyed the rights of the pictures involved. The main content of the article published by the defendant is original poetry, not the pictures involved, and it has no commercial use and no intention of infringement.

  The court found through trial that the process of generating the pictures involved was that the plaintiff downloaded the Stable Diffusion model, and then entered dozens of prompt words in the forward prompt words and the reverse prompt words respectively, and set the iteration steps, picture height, guide coefficient of prompt words and random seeds to generate the first picture; Under the condition that the above parameters are unchanged, the weight of one model is modified to generate a second picture; Under the condition that the above parameters are unchanged, the random seed is modified to generate a third picture; Under the condition that the above parameters remain unchanged, the content of positive prompt words is added to generate the fourth picture (that is, the picture involved).

  Does the picture generated by artificial intelligence constitute a work?

  According to the defense opinions of the defendant and the defendant and the facts ascertained, the Beijing Internet Court holds that the focus of the dispute and the difficulties in the trial are as follows: First, whether the pictures generated by artificial intelligence involved in the case constitute a work and what kind of work it constitutes; Second, whether the plaintiff enjoys the copyright of the pictures involved; Third, whether the accused behavior constitutes infringement and whether the defendant should bear legal responsibility.

  First of all, from the appearance of the pictures involved, it is no different from the photos and paintings that people usually see. It obviously belongs to the art field and has certain forms of expression. The pictures involved were generated by the plaintiff using the generative artificial intelligence technology. From the time the plaintiff conceived the pictures involved to the time the pictures involved were finally selected, the plaintiff made some intellectual investments, such as designing the presentation mode of the characters, choosing the prompt words, arranging the order of the prompt words, setting relevant parameters, and choosing which picture meets the expectations. The pictures involved reflect the intellectual input of the plaintiff, so the pictures involved have the elements of "intellectual achievements".

  Judging from the pictures involved, there are identifiable differences with previous works. Judging from the generation process of the pictures involved, the plaintiff designed the picture elements such as characters and their presentation methods through hints, and set the picture layout and composition through parameters, which reflected the plaintiff’s choice and arrangement. In addition, after the plaintiff obtained the first picture by inputting prompt words and setting relevant parameters, he continued to add prompt words and modify parameters, and constantly adjusted and corrected the picture involved. This adjustment and correction process reflected the plaintiff’s aesthetic choice and personality judgment. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it can be concluded that the pictures involved were independently completed by the plaintiff, which reflects the plaintiff’s personalized expression, so the pictures involved have the elements of "originality".

  The pictures involved are graphic plastic art works with aesthetic significance composed of lines and colors, which belong to art works and should be protected by copyright law.

  Second, the plaintiff is the author of the pictures involved and enjoys the copyright of the pictures involved. As far as the ownership of the works involved is concerned, China’s copyright law stipulates that the author is limited to natural persons, legal persons or unincorporated organizations, so the artificial intelligence model itself cannot be the author stipulated by China’s copyright law. The plaintiff sets up the artificial intelligence model involved in the case according to the need, and finally selects the person involved in the case. The picture involved is directly generated based on the plaintiff’s intellectual input and reflects the plaintiff’s personalized expression, so the plaintiff is the author of the picture involved and enjoys the copyright of the picture involved.

  Third, the defendant has infringed the rights enjoyed by the plaintiff and should bear the tort liability. In this case, the defendant, without permission, used the pictures involved in the case as illustrations and posted them in his Baijia account, so that the public could obtain the pictures involved in the case at the time and place selected by him, infringing on the plaintiff’s right to spread information on the network. In addition, the defendant removed the signature watermark from the pictures involved, which infringed the plaintiff’s signature right and should bear the tort liability.

  To sum up, the Beijing Internet Court ruled in the first instance that the defendant apologized and compensated the plaintiff 500 yuan. In this regard, neither party has appealed, and the judgment has now taken effect.

  ■ referee analysis

  Whether the content generated by artificial intelligence constitutes a work needs to be judged individually.

  Beijing Internet Court Zhuge

  In recent years, the academic discussion on the copyright of AI-generated content has never stopped, which provides a reference for the referee in this case.

  In this case, the pictures involved were generated by the plaintiff using AI, and judged according to the constitutive requirements of the works in the copyright law. Because the pictures involved reflected the plaintiff’s original intellectual input, they were recognized as works, and the relevant copyrights belonged to the plaintiff. At the same time, the judgment of this case emphasizes that whether the content generated by artificial intelligence constitutes a work requires case-by-case judgment and cannot be generalized. The verdict of this case fully absorbed the academic discussion, which reflected "one inheritance" and "two considerations".

  "One inheritance", that is, the judgment of this case, is the inheritance and development of the previous "Film Law Firm v. Baidu Copyright Case" in Beijing Internet Court. This case continues to adhere to the view that the copyright law only protects the creation of natural persons, while the artificial intelligence model does not have free will, is not the subject of law, and cannot be the "author" in China’s copyright law; This case continues to hold that under normal circumstances, the right to generate pictures by using AI belongs to the person who uses artificial intelligence software; In addition, the case continues to emphasize that according to the principle of good faith and the need to protect the public’s right to know, relevant subjects should clearly mark the artificial intelligence technology or model they use. Different from the previous case, except the artificial intelligence model involved in the case is more intelligent, the plaintiff in this case has more intellectual input, so it has the basis for further exploring the application of copyright law to protect it.

  During the trial of the case, we repeatedly conducted "two considerations":

  First, when the traditional theory encounters a brand-new application scenario, whether it should be adjusted and developed. We believe that only by adhering to the future-oriented judicial concept can we better encourage the application of new technologies and promote the development of new formats. The original copyright theory and practice presupposed art works as the main creative way, which was determined by the technical level of creative tools at that time. Since entering the era of artificial intelligence, human creative tools have undergone fundamental changes. People no longer need to draw lines and fill colors, but use AI to create, but this does not mean that human beings do not need to choose and arrange picture elements. By designing hints, different people will produce different results, which can reflect the original intellectual input of human beings. In this brand-new technical background, the traditional copyright theory and the reality of technical development have not matched, so it should be adjusted and developed to better meet the needs of rights protection and industrial development. Therefore, we can’t stick to the historical standards. Only by thinking about the future can we choose the path of the present.

  Second, whether the identification of works is only based on legal judgment is also a question of value judgment. "Originality", as a rule to define the core elements of a work, is gradually established by the courts of various countries through the trial of individual cases. In this process, there are arguments in the theoretical circle and reference from judicial practice, and more importantly, it is based on the balance of interests, and comprehensively considers the types of works, creative space, industrial policies, public demand and other factors in the field, trying to make the best explanation. At the moment when China’s artificial intelligence industry is developing rapidly, how to serve and ensure the healthy and efficient development of the industry based on China’s specific reality and China’s value consensus is the question of the times that we must answer. In this context, based on the value measurement of the country, society, citizens and other dimensions, we believe that by recognizing the "work" attribute of pictures generated by artificial intelligence and the user’s "creator" identity, it is more conducive to encouraging users to use AI tools to create enthusiasm, thus realizing the inherent goal of "encouraging works to create" in the copyright law, promoting relevant subjects to identify the content generated by AI, thus promoting the implementation of regulatory laws and regulations, and protecting the public’s right to know, and strengthening people’s awareness.

  ■ Views of all parties

  It is confirmed for the first time that AI generates the attribute of "Art Works"

Cui Guobin, Professor of Tsinghua University Law School

  The judgment of this case has made a meaningful exploration of many copyright problems caused by generative AI, and put forward reasonable solutions. This is innovative on a global scale and has important reference value for future judicial practice and academic research.

  First of all, the court confirmed the "art work" attribute of AI products. The court held that users use generative AI to output pictures, even if AI users do not directly draw lines and colors, they may still constitute intellectual achievements in the sense of copyright law and fall into the category of "works of art", regardless of the necessity of "other works". When the legislator did not create a new category for such works, the court included it in the scope of "art works", which was in line with public expectations.

  Secondly, the court clearly judges whether the user has made an original contribution. The court stressed that "whether the use of artificial intelligence to generate pictures reflects the author’s personalized expression requires case judgment and cannot be generalized." "After the plaintiff obtained the first picture by inputting prompt words and setting relevant parameters, he continued to add prompt words, modify parameters, and constantly adjusted and corrected, and finally obtained the picture involved. This adjustment and correction process also reflected the plaintiff’s aesthetic choice and personality judgment." In this case, whether the user’s actual creative behavior leads to the AI ? ? output fully reflecting its personality is a matter of fact, and there is room for debate. However, the court’s thinking of analyzing legal issues is completely in line with the underlying logic of copyright law and public policy, leaving more flexible space for the development of new technologies. After selecting the first draft of the picture output by AI, users have a relatively specific idea of the work, and then modify it repeatedly on this basis. In theory, as long as there are enough rounds or details, users do have the possibility of making specific original contributions.

  Under the background of the increasing integration of painting programming tools (such as Photoshop) and generative AI system, copyright law should encourage the public to use new creative tools to create more and better works of art, instead of discriminating against users of such tools, easily denying users’ original contributions and forcing users to stay away from such powerful creative tools. Therefore, I agree with the court’s judgment that "it is more conducive to the creation of works and the development of artificial intelligence technology to encourage more people to create with the latest tools by appropriate legal means", which is far more forward-looking than the general objection of denying the original contribution of users.

  In addition, this judgment also deeply discusses the attribution of AI-assisted creative works. The court emphasized that the designer of AI system is only the producer of creative tools, and "there is neither the will to create the pictures involved nor the pre-set subsequent generation content". At the same time, the designer of the artificial intelligence model involved in the case gives up the right to claim the output content in the license provided by him. Therefore, the developer of AI system is not the author of the dispute picture. In the court’s view, "the plaintiff directly sets the artificial intelligence model involved in the case according to the needs, and finally selects the picture involved. The picture involved is directly generated based on the plaintiff’s intellectual input and reflects the plaintiff’s personalized expression, so the plaintiff is the author of the picture involved." This idea is worthy of recognition.

  Finally, it is worth mentioning that the court’s application of the minimum amount of statutory compensation (500 yuan) should also be a balanced choice reflecting the judicial policy. Many people are worried that copyright law will protect the works created by users using AI, which will lead to the proliferation of infringement lawsuits related to AI works and harm the public interests of society. In order to avoid this negative consequence, the court should consider the particularity of AI creation when determining the standard of damages, and avoid over-compensation to users, thus stimulating too many lawsuits. In this case, it is a reasonable choice to choose the lower limit of legal compensation "according to the pictures involved and the circumstances of infringement use", which reflects this important judicial policy. Of course, this does not rule out that in future cases, users will use AI to create high-value works and get higher damages.

  Very valuable pioneering exploration

Shen Fen, a big model manufacturer.

  Through this case, Beijing Internet Court made a very valuable and pioneering exploration on the legal issues related to artificial intelligence products.

  In the concept of recognition, it is confirmed that users can obtain the copyright of artificial intelligence products. In this case, the court found that natural persons can obtain the copyright of products by making substantial contributions in the process of using generative artificial intelligence. This has a positive effect on encouraging users to actively use artificial intelligence to create high-quality works.

  Protecting the works that users have made substantial contributions in the process of product production plays an important and positive role in the use and promotion of generative artificial intelligence. In the process of ownership determination, it is equally important to consider and respect the contracts between the designers, providers and users of artificial intelligence models and services to help the market-oriented development of artificial intelligence industry and support the formation of various business models. It is of great significance for the development of China’s artificial intelligence industry and the improvement of the quality of cultural and artistic works to give reasonable protection to high-quality works created by generative artificial intelligence and help users, artificial intelligence developers and operators to realize closed-loop business.

A canal shows the creativity of Jiangsu’s humanistic beauty.

  Millennium Canal, rushing endlessly.

  In June 2017, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made an important instruction that "the Grand Canal is a precious legacy left by our ancestors and a mobile culture, which should be well protected, inherited and utilized". This has pointed out the direction and provided guidance for promoting the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt.

Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Suzhou Hanshan Temple Section

  Jiangsu is the province with the longest river along the Grand Canal, the largest number of cities flowing through it, the richest canal heritage and the largest number of sites listed in the World Cultural Heritage. The Grand Canal in China is about 3,200 kilometers long and the Jiangsu section is 790 kilometers long. It can be said that the Grand Canal is a living exhibition hall of Jiangsu culture, a bright pearl of world heritage and a beautiful green corridor.

  Over the past three years, Jiangsu has kept in mind the entrustment of the General Secretary, made every effort to promote the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt, and made three major articles: careful protection, effective inheritance and rational utilization. On the basis of protection, efforts will be made to promote the innovative inheritance and creative transformation of the Grand Canal culture, endow the Grand Canal with new characteristics of the times and cultural values, and make a river show the beauty of culture, ecology, construction and people’s life, thus writing a contemporary chapter for the Millennium Grand Canal.

  Let’s take a look at the wonderful cases in 11 cities along the Jiangsu section of the Grand Canal — —

  Xuzhou: Huaihai Campaign Martyrs Memorial Tower (Pavilion)

  The Xuzhou section of the Grand Canal is 201 kilometers long. Prehistoric civilization, Chu-Han culture, red culture and celebrity culture are listed on both sides of the canal like pearls. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Xuzhou was an important guerrilla area of the famous anti-Japanese armed canal detachment active on both sides of the canal; On January 10, 1949, the 65-day Huaihai Campaign ended successfully in Xuzhou, killing more than 555,000 people. Today’s Huaihai Campaign Memorial Hall is a famous patriotic education base and a red tourist attraction in China, and it has been selected as one of the 100 "classic red tourist attractions" in China. The names of 28,396 martyrs are engraved in the stele gallery of the Martyrs Memorial Tower in the museum. Since 2014, the Memorial Hall has started the "Rescue Interview Project for the Witnesses of Huaihai Campaign", which lasted for three years, covering 729 witnesses, collecting more than 1,200 pieces of historical cultural relics and sorting out 2 million words of oral materials. The narrator went to colleges and universities to give a lecture on "Red Stories on Campus" and went into primary and secondary schools to tell red stories, with a total of 160,000 students being taught.

  Suqian: Longwang Temple Palace

  In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River for six times and stayed in Suqian for five times, which gave him the praise of "the benefits of being the first mountain in spring". Today, the Qianlong Palace, where Qianlong stayed at that time, originally named "Building Longwang Temple in An Lan", is still well preserved. It is the most precious architectural cultural heritage in Suqian and the only world cultural heritage site in Suqian section of the Grand Canal.

  Zaohe Ancient Town, where Longwang Temple Palace is located, is an important town in the south wing of the Grand Canal. In recent years, Suqian has invested about 150 million yuan to protect and develop the history and culture of Zaohe Ancient Town as a whole. The Longwang Temple Palace has been protected and repaired in three phases, and the fallen colored paintings have been repaired. In August this year, the construction of "Zaohe Dragon Town" was started. The overall layout of "One Source, Three Veins and Ten Crossing" highlighted the immersion experience, performing road show and cultural exhibition, and recorded and told the long canal story in Suqian. The ancient Longwang Temple Palace glowed with new vitality of the times. Visitors here will fully appreciate the water control culture, shipping culture and royal cruise culture of Suqian section of the Grand Canal.

  Huaian: Shuishang Interchange

  In the Ming Dynasty, Pan Jixun, a water conservancy expert, led the construction of dikes on the east bank of Hongze Lake to raise the water level, so as to form a torrent to wash away the sediment deposited in Qingkou of the Yellow River. Over the past 400 years, more than 40 water conservancy projects have been formed here, including dikes, gates, dams, weirs and diversion piers. Nowadays, when people come to the water interchange in the southern suburbs of Huai ‘an, they can see the wonders of the Huaihe River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The Huaihe River flows to the Yellow Sea from west to east on the riverbed below, hanging 6 meters above it, and ships shuttle on the north-south Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is a busy scene. The ancient canal and advanced modern technology meet here, and the wisdom of water control of China people for more than 400 years is presented here.

  The Grand Canal has been flowing for thousands of years, forming a golden waterway with flowing gold and silver, and also accumulating historical and cultural relics on both sides of the strait. The annual throughput of Huai ‘an Shiplock is nearly 290 million tons, ranking first in China. Huai ‘an took the lead in opening port container transportation in Subei Canal, with annual throughput accounting for 75% of the province’s inland rivers.

  Yangzhou: China Grand Canal Museum

   As the origin city of the Grand Canal and the leading city for applying for the World Heritage of the Canal, Yangzhou was born and prospered because of the Canal.

  In May, 2018, Zhang Jinqiu, academician of China Academy of Engineering and chief architect of China Northwest Architectural Design and Research Institute, led a team to visit Sanwan in Yangzhou, and personally drew the first planning pattern of China Grand Canal Museum. In May 2019, the China Grand Canal Museum started construction in Yangzhou.

  The whole design scheme consists of the museum and the main tower. The main tower with four corners (Universiade Tower) is slender and beautiful, and together with the adjacent Wenfeng Tower and Tianzhong Tower, it forms the landscape effect of "three towers reflecting three bays". The boat-shaped museum building incorporates sail elements, and the top floor is connected with the Universiade Tower through a covered bridge with Changhong lying wave image. The whole building has the ancient charm of tang style, suggesting that Yangzhou once had a prosperous scene of "promoting one and benefiting two" in the Tang Dynasty.

  At present, the exhibition contents of China Grand Canal Museum are under intense arrangement, which will include the 2,500-year development of Sui and Tang Grand Canal, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and East Zhejiang Canal, and it is expected to open to the outside world by the end of 2021.

  Zhenjiang: Xijindu

  Xijindu has been a battleground for military strategists since the Three Kingdoms, and it is also the first stop for northerners to cross the river south. With the change of time, Guguazhou on the north bank has all collapsed in the river, while sedimentation has begun on the south bank. Xijin Gudu is now more than 300 meters away from the Yangtze River. Although the ancient ferry is no longer there, the "living fossil"-like ancient scenery of Xijindu has been basically preserved.

  Today’s Xijindu is both ancient and new: in terms of ancient times, Xijindu historical and cultural block is the most preserved, concentrated and well-preserved area in Zhenjiang, and many buildings are called "orphans" in Jiangsu and even the whole country. Today, cutting-edge artists and young craftsmen creatively integrate the trend culture into the Millennium ancient street. In 2020, Xijindu created an art life festival that lasted for five months. At the same time, Xijindu also implanted new formats such as cultural creativity, water market and interactive experience, and projects and activities such as music, film and television blocks and national wind music festivals, reappearing the bustling scene of "home from the sky, the clouds are sailing". 

  Changzhou: Qingguo Lane

Qingguo Lane (Photo courtesy of vision china)

  Qingguo Lane, known as "the first lane of celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River", is one of the most important cultural landmarks in Changzhou section of the Grand Canal. Qingguo Lane is not long, but there are countless outstanding figures between the white walls and the high walls and deep courtyards: in the Ming and Qing Dynasties alone, there were nearly 100 scholars from Qingguo Lane; In modern times, industrialist Sheng Xuanhuai, novelist Li Boyuan, patriotic industrialist Liu Guojun, master of Chinese studies Zhao Yuanren, linguist Zhou Youguang and other famous people all walked out of Qingguo Lane.

  Deep curtilage compound is adjacent, flowing water sets each other off, and the depths of the alley are faint. On April 29th last year, the historical block of Qingguoxiang, which carried half of Changzhou’s history, was officially opened. Qingguoxiang Cultural Memory Museum, Zhou Youguang Library (Zhou Youguang’s former residence), Changzhou League History Museum, Tang Jingchuan Memorial Hall and Shi Liang’s former residence were opened one after another. The A side of Qingguo Lane, based on inheritance and taking culture as the soul, has formed the Changzhou Cultural Museum community; The B side of Qingguo Lane, based on the "future", innovates the format and content around the futurity, cosmopolitanism and times of the canal.

  Wuxi: Qingming Bridge

  More than 3,200 years ago, Taibo Benwu settled in Meili, and the oldest canal in the south of the Yangtze River, Bodu Port, was dug in the historical and cultural block of Qingming Bridge, which reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty.

  The Qingming Bridge block, where boats and boats come and go constantly, has formed a unique cultural feature of the streets in the south of the Yangtze River, convenient conditions for water transportation, and nurtured the civilization of China’s national industry and commerce.

  The rice wharf and cloth wharf, which were developed and prospered by the canal in those years, are now full of creative and intelligent industries, with more than 2,000 Internet of Things enterprises and an output value of more than 200 billion yuan, which has become the highlight moment of Wuxi’s science and technology industry. In recent years, Wuxi has won the brand title of "Jiangnan Water Lane Canal Out of Print" by hosting a number of grand events such as the second Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Expo. Qingming Bridge, Nanchang Street, nanzenji, Xiaolou Lane, Chong’an Temple, Jieguanting Lane, Huangbudun, Beijian Park and other scattered scenic spots are "beaded into a chain and closed into a ring", showing the beautiful scenery of "a thousand-mile canal alone".

  Suzhou: Shantang Street

  A history of canals, a picture of bustling Suzhou. The Suzhou section of the Grand Canal was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was basically finalized in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In 825 AD, Bai Juyi arrived in Suzhou for secretariat. Seeing that the Huqiu River road was impassable, he dug the Shantang River and built a "water expressway" between the ancient city of Suzhou, Huqiu and the Grand Canal. Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, and every time he went out along the Lishantang to Huqiu. In 2014, the 14.2-square-kilometer Suzhou ancient city was listed as a world cultural heritage.

  From Qilishantang to Huqiu, the rich canal resources have made "the first street in Gusu" prosperous for thousands of years. In recent years, Suzhou has built a "Suzhou model" of the Grand Canal cultural belt around protection, inheritance and utilization, and took the lead in setting up the first Grand Canal cultural tourism development fund in the province, establishing a key project library of the Grand Canal cultural belt, inheriting the context in a way of "living protection" and showing the cultural essence of the south of the Yangtze River. Today, Shantang Historic District has become a tourist punch-in resort, and the Kunqu Opera special activities staged in Huqiu Scenic Area have become a new business card for Soviet-style life.

  About 4 kilometers west of Lishui District, Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, dug the Rouge River to communicate the water transportation between Nanjing and Zhejiang. The Rouge River is 7.5 kilometers long, and hundreds of thousands of migrant workers burned stones to dig the river, which took ten years to build. The Rouge River runs through the mountains, leaving a rare spectacle in the world — — Tianshengqiao In 2017, the Canal Culture Exhibition Hall located in the scenic spot — — Tianshengqiao Museum was officially opened to the public. Around the cultural heritage of water transportation and the historical and cultural resources along the canal, the exhibition hall set up a number of interactive exhibition areas, taking cruise ships as the visiting carrier and relying on the 5D interactive experience technology, so that visitors can feel the digging history of Rouge River in an immersive way.

  In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, dug a salt river from Panxi in Rugao in the east to Zhuyuwan Scenic Spot in Yangzhou in the west. YugutransportThe Fengcheng River, which is connected with the salt river in the same strain, is the moat of Taizhou and the most well-preserved and largest ancient city river in China. As night falls, boating on Fengcheng River is a project that tourists must "punch in" when they come to Taizhou. Boating on the river, Wanghailou, Meiyuan, Liuyuan, Taoyuan, Wenchang Pavilion and Wenfeng Tower … … Multicolored lights outline the pavilions on both sides of the strait, the sound of paddles and the green water. Who can not be drunk?

  The night of Fengcheng River, the more beautiful it is. Taking Wanghailou as the prospect, the 3D water curtain show was staged on the water stage of Sanshuiwan, creating a dazzling fantasy effect on the ancient canal. In Wenlv block of Jing ‘an Road, night tours, night markets, night plays, night shows and night banquets light up the night economy along the canal, where people experience slow life on water, culture and food, and feel the unique charm of this canal water city.

  Nantong: 1895 Cultural and Creative Industrial Park

1895 Cultural and Creative Industrial Park (Photo courtesy of the Park)

  The canal has given Nantong a long history of cultural spirit and brought it modern civilization. In 1895, Zhang Jian, a patriotic industrialist and educator, took a fancy to the superior geographical position of Tangzha ancient town near the canal and built a large cotton textile enterprise — — Dasheng cotton mill, and set up a series of subsidiary industries with this as the axis.

  Today, Tangzha Ancient Town has become the vanguard in the new era to carry forward the spiritual connotation of the canal and highlight the self-confidence of Jianghai culture. The mottled factory turned into a cultural and creative industrial park in 1895, where the oil mill and paper mill attached to Dasheng Cotton Mill were located. The industrial park has attracted more than 40 creative design, digital media, advertising and video production companies to settle in, and has held various literary exhibitions for a long time. In the past few years, countless creative exhibitions have been held here: from root carving to Ming and Qing furniture, from book tickets to ink and oil paints, from home textile products to jade carving pendants, and even a small-scale tasting meeting was held in cross-border cooperation with Sam Supermarket. Thanks to the 1895 Cultural and Creative Industrial Park, the development of Tangzha ancient town is more vigorous and its external attraction is constantly improved.

  "Six Ones" of Jiangsu Canal

  A law

  Since January 1st, 2020, the first local regulation "Decision of the Standing Committee of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Congress on Promoting the Construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt" has been implemented in China, providing legal protection for cultural heritage protection, adhering to the ecological bottom line and expanding the cultural tourism industry. As the only pilot province of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park in China, Jiangsu has also innovatively compiled the Construction Plan of Jiangsu Section of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park, which promotes the Grand Canal culture to show new charm and glow with new vitality through the organic docking of historical value and practical value.

  An exposition

  The Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Expo, which has been held twice so far, integrates the cultural tourism resources along the Grand Canal in Jiangsu Province, and strives to build a platform for the integration and development of cultural tourism in cities along the Grand Canal, a platform for the promotion of cultural tourism products and a platform for sharing a better life. The Expo invited thousands of international friends to the cities along the Jiangsu Canal to experience the canal culture and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the canal, to show the rich cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, the beautiful life at present and the creative energy of the integration and development of cultural tourism, and to introduce the cultural tourism products of the Grand Canal to all parts of the world.

  A forum

  Since 2006, the annual World Canal City Forum has been successfully held for the 14th time in Jiangsu. The forum organized more than 200 participants, including mayors of domestic canal cities, canal managers, researchers and enthusiasts, diplomatic envoys of well-known foreign countries where canals are located, and representatives of international organizations in China. Mayors of foreign canal cities, representatives of well-known canal management institutions and experts and scholars of canal research institutions jointly discussed the paths and countermeasures for the sustainable prosperity and development of the cultural tourism industry in canal cities.

  A fund

  At the theme forum of "Canal Culture" of the first Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Industry Expo, Jiangsu set up the first Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Development Fund in China with an initial scale of 20 billion yuan. Through the coordinated linkage of mother and child funds, it made overall plans for the protection, inheritance and utilization of the Grand Canal culture, focusing on supporting the construction of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park and the integration of cultural tourism.

  A series of books 

  It took more than 100 experts eight years to compile, and the first China Canal Annals — — China Canal Records was officially published by Jiangsu Phoenix Publishing Media Group. On September 27th last year, this 14-million-word imperial masterpiece was unveiled for the first time at the 2019 World Canal City Forum and World Canal Conference, which is also the largest canal publishing project in China’s history.

  An opera

  The opera River of Transport is a work to fill the "blank" of Jiangsu opera for fifteen years. Since its inception in 2014, it has sung from the side of the Grand Canal to the lake of Geneva, and its domestic and international tours have been welcomed by Chinese and foreign audiences. Based on the opening and navigation of the Grand Canal and the change of dynasties in Sui and Tang dynasties, the drama weaves a historical drama that is soul-stirring, alarming and can release positive energy.

The company earned 1 billion in the stock market for two months and was fined 5.6 billion.

CCTV News: Recently, CCTV reporters, together with the Inspection Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, successfully investigated and dealt with a huge stock manipulation case after months of unannounced visits.

After investigation, Beibadao Group and its actual controller used 1 billion yuan of funds to manipulate the stock prices of several sub-new shares in a short period of two months, and made a profit of 1 billion yuan. The CSRC intends to impose a fine of 5.67 billion yuan on the enterprise and its actual controller, and the case has become the largest stock market manipulation case investigated by the CSRC.

Company involved

Company involved

From February to May, 2017, Beibadao Group and its actual controllers set up and controlled a trading team with a clear division of labor, raised billions of yuan through a number of fund intermediaries, used 301 securities accounts, and used abnormal trading techniques such as frequent reverse transactions, intraday price hikes, and rapid daily limit closures to speculate on multiple sub-new shares, which was suspected of manipulating the market.

Inspectors of CSRC:After our preliminary investigation, we found that the related accounts involved were actually manipulated and controlled by a Beibadao Group, a private logistics group in Xiamen, whose main business is railway transportation.

Small-cap stocks with "ferocious" tactics have experienced ups and downs.

In February 2017, the sub-new shares of several banks led by "Jiangyin Bank" and "Zhangjiagang Bank" were collectively speculated, which caused great concern in the market.

A stock that has been manipulated for speculation.

A stock that has been manipulated for speculation.

Inspectors of CSRC:Take the behavior of Zhangjiagang as an example. It started to be listed on January 24th, and then we, the main manipulator, started to manipulate it in early February, that is, it just went on the market for a few days, using their capital advantages and shareholding advantages to earn chips in the hands of retail investors, and then after their chips reached a certain level, they attracted the follow-up funds in the market, and then they suddenly removed their chips, so that they could easily make quick money.

Second, raise huge sums of money to fund the one-stop service of the company

In the investigation, the inspectors of the CSRC also found that the principal of Beibadao Group’s one billion yuan was not their own, and they all found the so-called — — Fund-raising company.

Inspectors of CSRC:Mainly use some underground fund-raising intermediaries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to contact the fund-raiser. The fund-raiser will give these accounts and his own money to these fund-raising intermediaries, and then the fund-raising intermediaries will give them to the Beibadao Group, and then the Beibadao Group will use these accounts to manipulate the market. These fund-raisers here will get 10% of the fixed annualized income, and then the fund-raising intermediaries will generally get about 1% of the intermediary service fee, and the remaining excess income will be.

There are many accounts involved in the "busy" trading.

During the investigation, the inspectors of the CSRC saw rows of tables and chairs and some computers that had not been evacuated before in a villa of more than 1,000 square meters. It is reported that this is the private trading hall of Beiba Road. At the busiest time, at least 100 computers and more than 10 traders were engaged in illegal trading, and each trader controlled two or three stock accounts.

Inspectors of CSRC:In two months’ time, we just went to more than ten provinces and cities to visit the owners of these nominal accounts involved to determine whether they are using this account themselves or giving it to others.

Although the sources of funds are all over the world, the illegal funds earned by manipulating the stock market eventually fell into the private accounts of more than 10 financial personnel of Beibadao Group.

The CSRC interviewed the suspect for violent resistance to the law.

company personnel

Employees of the company involved violently resisted the law.

After basically grasping the criminal facts of Beibadao, the inspectors of the CSRC arrived at Beibadao Company, but the relevant personnel of the case refused to talk.

There is a conflict between the inspector of CSRC and the object of investigation.

The two ladies in the camera, one is the company treasurer and the other claims to be the legal representative. When the inspectors of the CSRC obtained the company’s financial information, they actually tore up the documents and even threw them out of the window.

Fined a fine of 5.67 billion yuan from the CSRC.

Inspectors of CSRC:The most typical harm of this case is that it has affected the fairness and justice of this market and caused great fluctuations in the market. I will plan to impose a top penalty on its Beibadao Group. So far, it is the case with the highest amount of administrative penalty imposed by the CSRC.

Official announcement! The general director group of "2021 Spring Festival Gala" of Central Radio and Television General Station announced.

  On the morning of August 10th, the Central Radio and Television General Station held the kick-off meeting of the 2021 Spring Festival Gala. Shen Haixiong, Vice Minister of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, Director and Editor-in-Chief of the Central Radio and Television General Station, announced the list of directors for the 2021 Spring Festival Gala. With the approval of higher authorities, Chen Linchun is the general director, and Xia Yu, Zou Wei and Zhao Yue are the deputy directors. This means that the Spring Festival Evening of the Year of the Ox has officially entered the preparatory stage. Jeikiy, a member of the editorial board of the Central Radio and Television General Station, presided over the meeting and made mobilization. Jiang Wenbo, Huang Chuanfang and Dong Weimin, the relevant leaders of the reception desk, attended.

  "Spring Festival Gala is my name, because my name contains spring." Director Chen Linchun, who has participated in more than ten Spring Festival Galas, has always had special feelings and beliefs about the Spring Festival Gala. He was the general director of 2011 cctv spring festival gala in 2008 and the general producer of the Spring Festival Gala from 2017 to 2020.

  "Spring Festival Gala" is not only a party, but also a feeling, the warmest companion on New Year’s Eve, and it is the wish of every "Spring Festival Gala" to make a new idea. Director Chen Linchun said that 2020 is an unusual year. Our country is firmly moving forward, and the people are United and bravely accepted the challenge. In this special period, every Chinese is looking forward to a reunion year, and it is still the expectation of the people of the whole country to celebrate the New Year. This mentality should be captured, and the people’s mood of expecting a better life should be grasped. This is indeed a big challenge for them, and every "Spring Festival Evening person" feels a great responsibility. Difficulties, pressures and the audience’s expectations for the Spring Festival Evening will run through the whole creative preparation process, which also encourages the Spring Festival Evening crew to produce a party that is "innocent of the times and loved by the audience" and presents unexpected surprises to the national audience.

  "Spring Festival Evening is a national stage, which should be an open, inclusive and diversified stage", and innovation and change have always been the creative topic of director Xia Yu. She was the director of the seven Spring Festival Galas and Lantern Festival Galas in 2005, 2006, 2009, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, and created Above the Waves, Youth Jumps, Confession Balloon, Best Stage and Happy Festival for the Spring Festival Gala with the spirit of integrity and innovation.

  Director Zou Wei led the team to undertake the song and dance creation in the Spring Festival Gala in 2016. The songs "Snow Love", "How I Want to Tell You" and "Walking on the Well-off Road" won the outstanding works award of the 14th "Five One Projects" for spiritual civilization construction. He always has a sense of quality products, innovative spirit and the idea of integrating media in his program creation. During the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, Zou Wei, as the general director Yun, produced The Most Beautiful Struggled Youth — — May 4th Special Program in 2020, the program broke through the bottleneck of "cloud production", and the presentation of remote recording and exquisite packaging triggered a hot discussion on the whole network.

  Language programs have always been the focus of the audience’s concern, and it is not easy to sing this "highlight" well. "Every year, during the Spring Festival Gala, we hope that the audience can see themselves and their lives and have a real and cordial feeling." Director Zhao Yue was the director of language programs for the Spring Festival Gala from 2016 to 2020 for five consecutive years. The cross talk in 2016, My Wife in 2017, Advice in 2018, Here comes my son in 2019, Grandma and Mama in 2020, and other works that make the audience relish, all reflect the creative idea of "close to life and deepen the content" directed by Zhao Yue.

  Since 1983, "Spring Festival Evening" has accompanied the people of China for thirty-eight years, and "watching the Spring Festival Evening" has gradually become an indispensable New Year custom for the people of the whole country. With the changes of the times, the "Spring Festival Evening" is also constantly inheriting and innovating. What will this year’s "Spring Festival Evening" look like? I look forward to the general director team to bring you bright answers.
