What new European and American dramas are worth seeing this year？

Although there are still more than 100 days before the end of the year, TV Guide, an old American TV weekly, has published an inventory of The Best New TV Shows of 2021. According to this article, this is called reviewing the past and learning the new.

TV Guide is the most popular TV weekly in the United States. Founded in 1953, it has 50 million family subscribers in the United States, and it has become almost a weekly necessity for every family. The first broadcast time of this new drama is limited to January to July this year, and the broadcast platform covers the traditional TV giant CBS to the emerging streaming media Netflix and Hulu. In the words of Tim Julie, the author of this article, he only chooses the best.

Let’s take a look at the selection of "TV Guide" and see if it meets everyone’s taste.

July

The Pursuit of Love (the pursuit of love)

The BBC three-episode drama "Chasing Love" is broadcast on Amazon in the United States, and the online time is July 30.

Adapted from Nancy mitford’s novel of the same name, the play is the first part of a trilogy (the last two are Love in Winter and Don’t Tell Alfred). It tells the story of a British upper-class family, the ——Radlett family, during World War I and World War II. The story focuses on their daughter Linda and her cousin Fanny. Both of them were occupied by love and marriage at first and were actively looking for the ideal other half. When Fanny decided to calm down, Linda still followed her heart. First, she fell in love with a stuffy Tory politician, then a passionate communist, and finally fell in love with Fabrice, the Duke of France. The friendship between two people is also facing a test.

Doctor of death (Dr. Death)

It was launched on Peacock TV on July 15th.

Doctor Death tells a famous true story: Christopher Duntsch, an antisocial "killer doctor", killed and maimed 33 patients. The series is adapted from the podcast program of the same name, exploring the psychology of this anti-social killer and the bad omissions in the medical system that should protect the most helpless people.

The Bai Lianhua Resort (The White Lotus).

The play premiered on HBO on July 11th.

It is said that this is the funniest black comedy this year. The synopsis of the story is simply that people want to relax in a luxury resort in Hawaii. As a result, no one, whether employees or tourists, can find a moment of peace in this star-rated resort.

June

Blindspotting

It premiered in Starz on June 13th.

In January 2018, the absurd comedy Blind Spot (also translated as 72-hour probation) premiered at Sundance Film Festival in the United States, which was listed as the three most popular African-American movies of that year along with Black Party and Sorry to disturb.

The drama series "Blind Spot" of the same name is a derivative drama of the film. The play tells that Ashley, the heroine, used to live a middle-class life in Auckland, but after her husband Miles (one of the movie heroes) was suddenly put in prison, she and her 12-year-old son had to move in with Miles’ mother and half-sister. The selling point of this play is still mocking the ubiquitous racial discrimination in the United States.

Starstruck (make a big star)

In fact, this drama was broadcast on BBC 3 in April this year, but its online time in the United States was June 10, so it was included in the June drama by TV Guide, and the broadcaster was HBO Max.

This drama is a revelation of the "sleeping powder" chaos in the British entertainment industry-Rose, who is in her twenties, is a millennial living in London, and she has to work two jobs with no future every day; But one day Rose woke up and found herself sleeping with a movie star by mistake.

Loki ()

On June 9, it was launched on Disney Streaming Media.

Needless to say, the story of the Marvel Movie Universe (MCU) was already overwhelming in the early stage. The story followed closely Avengers: Endgame, and Loki, who took away the space gem, later encountered something "unlucky". This prankster and shapeshifter appeared in many periods of human history and influenced historical events.

Anyway, I have watched many TV dramas in Marvel Comics, and as we all know, eggs are flying all over the sky and trailers are everywhere.

"Sweet Tooth"

Antlers Boy is adapted from Jeff Lemire’s DC comic book series. Compared with the gloom of comics, the series of the same name has been adapted into a lot of sunshine.

Ten years ago, the "Great Collapse" caused a heavy blow to the world, resulting in the mysterious birth of half-man, half-beast babies. Humans don’t know whether these hybrids are the source of the virus or infected people, and they are afraid to start searching for them everywhere. A deer boy named Gus lived in a secluded forest for ten years, until he accidentally got to know Jeddah, who was wandering alone. Then they embarked on an extraordinary adventure. They wanted to cross the devastated United States to find answers to many questions-Gus’s life, Jeddah’s past and the true meaning of home. Along the way, they met many unexpected allies and enemies, and Gus soon learned that the world outside the forest was charming and dangerous, which was much more complicated than he had imagined.

May

《Flatbush Misdemeanors》

It premiered at Showtime on May 23rd.

Hacks (desperate writers)

It was launched on HBO Max on May 13th.

The protagonist of the story is a dead comedy actress and her young writers. Deborah Vance is a well-known old-school comedy actress who has a regular performance in a casino in Las Vegas. She lives in a mansion served by servants, surrounded by assistants in and out, and travels by private jet. On the surface, it looks very beautiful. But in fact, Deborah’s performance is getting harder and harder to attract the audience, and there are no people around her who are eccentric.

Ava, a young comedy writer, had a fairly successful career experience, but a cross-border joke on social networks made her lose all her job opportunities in an instant. The two men have a common agent, and with the help of the agent, Ava promised to try to work as a writer for Deborah in Las Vegas. The first meeting between the two quickly turned into attacking each other with jokes, but it was for this reason that Deborah realized that Ava was a plastic talent, and their cooperation began.

Ziwe

It premiered at Showtime on May 9th.

Ziwe Fumudoh is a new generation of online celebrity in the United States, whose homonym is Ziwei in the Chinese world. She became famous for the talk show Baited broadcast on INS platform in 2020. The program Ziwei is difficult to classify, because there are both talk shows and variety shows in it, and Ziwei often uses sharp language to run on the guests present, which belongs to the kind of language that is not surprising and endless. Anyway, it was only launched in the first season, and it has been successfully renewed in the second season.

One day, a murder broke the quiet atmosphere of the town, and a teenage mother named Irene was found dead on the beach. An streaming video shows that Irene was bullied by her ex-boyfriend Dylan and her current girlfriend briana on the day of her death, and Mel did not hesitate to arrest them.

This documentary explores the exploitation of the world by European and American colonialism for centuries and the tragedy of genocide.

Kung Fu

It premiered on the CW on April 7th.

This drama is dubbed "Shaolin Monks in America" on the Chinese Internet, but it should be called "Shaolin Nuns in America" in my opinion. This drama still inevitably has the strangeness of the West to the East. A Chinese-American sister dropped out of college and came to China Temple to look for spiritual sustenance. After returning to San Francisco, she found that her family was controlled by three societies, so she used her martial arts to protect the community and bring crimes to justice.

Economic stagnation and high inflation, how far is Europe from the abyss of negative growth ｜ Xinjing think tank

▲ On March 18th, 2022, local time, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi met with Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez, Portuguese Prime Minister Costa and Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis on energy issues. The main purpose of this meeting is to give the countries near the Mediterranean the direction of action on energy issues, and to coordinate their positions in advance for the EU Council to be held on March 24-25. Figure /IC photo

The Russian-Ukrainian crisis has disrupted the pace of European economic recovery.

On May 5, the Bank of England announced that it expects GDP growth of 0.9% in the first quarter of 2022, and GDP growth in the second quarter may be zero.

On April 29, the French National Institute of Statistics and Economics announced that its GDP growth in the first quarter was zero. Italy’s National Bureau of Statistics announced that the GDP in the first quarter decreased by 0.2% from the previous quarter.

On April 22, the Bundesbank said that in the first quarter of 2022, Germany’s GDP increased by 0.2%, and the German economy has "more or less stagnated".

However, just three months ago, these European countries were still full of confidence in their economic prospects.

On February 10th, two weeks before the conflict between Russia and Ukraine broke out, the European Commission announced that the GDP growth in the euro zone is expected to reach 4.0% in 2022, and all EU countries will return to the pre-epidemic economic level by the end of 2022.

At the end of the report, valdis dombrovskis, Executive Vice President of the European Commission, predicted hopefully: "With the full implementation of economic recovery plans in all countries (from 2022), the (EU) economy will be further boosted."

The Russian-Ukrainian crisis broke this expectation.

On April 22nd, the International Monetary Fund issued a report, which revised its economic outlook data at the beginning of the year. The report lowered the forecast of world economic growth in 2022 from 4.9% to 3.6%, which is the third largest decline in the forecast adjustment of the organization in the past 15 years. The other two times correspond to the global financial crisis in 2008 and the global epidemic in early 2020.

On April 29th, Eurostat revealed that in the first quarter of 2022, the GDP in the euro zone increased by only 0.2% month-on-month, and the inflation rate in the euro zone has reached 7.5%, which is the highest value in 25 years. Among them, the increase in energy prices contributed 38% to this record inflation.

Developed economies: energy is the main channel for the spillover of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis

The impact of Russia-Ukraine crisis on developed European economies is mainly reflected in energy trade, production supply chain and consumption level.

Energy is the main channel for the spillover of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. Based on various data, more than 20 European countries have energy dependence on Russia, among which Germany, Austria and other countries account for more than 60% of their domestic supply of Russian natural gas. According to the assessment of the European Commission, under the current sanctions against Russia, the global LNG supply capacity cannot meet the demand of Europe.

Germany’s natural gas storage level in May was about 34.2%, which was more than 11% lower than its average level in previous years. Natural gas power generation in the month also decreased by 5.4% year-on-year. During the first quarter, German fuel prices rose by about 20%.

Another serious impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the regional economy is reflected in the supply chain. According to the analysis of the international shipping network, in March and April this year, container shipping companies raised the fees such as "container comprehensive rate surcharge" and "fuel surcharge" respectively, and the increase in international shipping prices is likely to rise by 50%. According to the German Statistics Bureau, as of April this year, about 79% of industrial enterprises in Germany reported that their supply chains had been "significantly affected", and 36% of them said that their supply chains had been "seriously interrupted".

European countries are facing record high inflation because of the rising energy prices and the blocked supply chain. At the end of the first quarter, German inflation reached 7.6%. Since the end of World War II, Germany has experienced this level of inflation only during the oil crisis in the 1970s and the reunification of Germany in the 1990s. Domestic experts pointed out that if the crisis continues to expand, Germany’s inflation rate will increase by 2.3 percentage points on the existing basis.

On April 21st, Eurostat released data, and the inflation rate in the Netherlands reached 11.7% in March, the highest level since 1975. On April 29th, INSEE announced that its inflation rate would reach 4.8%, the highest in France since 1980s. On May 5th, the Bank of England issued a warning that the inflation rate in Britain may exceed 10% this year, and raised interest rates to 1% to deal with inflation. The last time Britain rose to this level, it was the global financial crisis in 2009.

▲ On March 29th, 2022, a man refueled his vehicle at a gas station in Brussels, Belgium. The World Bank released a report on April 26th, saying that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine had a "great impact" on the commodity market and changed the global trade, production and consumption patterns. Figure/Xinhua News Agency

In addition, the Russian-Ukrainian crisis has also affected regional export trade. In March, EU exports fell by 5.6%, while imports fell by 3.4%. Compared with February, Germany’s trade with Russia decreased by 62.3%, about 900 million euros, accounting for about 22% of its total trade decline.

According to the forecast of the International Monetary Fund, major European economies such as Germany, France and Italy may experience negative growth in 2022.

Strong growth in a few countries: excess returns under global inflation

As of May 7th, among more than 30 European countries that have released some economic data for the first quarter, Portugal and Austria are the most outstanding economies. On April 29th, Vienna Economic Research Institute evaluated Austria’s economy as "strong growth" in the new year, with GDP increasing by 2.5% in the first quarter. The Portuguese National Bureau of Statistics announced on the same day that its GDP increased by 2.6% in the first quarter.

Based on the information released by the two countries at present, the two countries have a common feature: under the background of global inflation, their pillar industries have gained excess returns because they have not been greatly negatively affected.

According to the Austrian central bank, its pillar industries are developing well at present: the growth rate of the construction industry will remain at 6% in the first two months of 2022, and its industrial production will increase by more than 11% during the major categories.

Taking the aluminum processing industry as an example, Austrian bauxite imports from China, Germany, India, Guyana, etc., because it is distributed across Asia, Europe and America, and far away from conflict areas, its downstream supply is not greatly affected.

According to the report released by Portuguese oil and gas company Galp Energia on May 3rd, the adjusted profit in the first quarter increased fivefold compared with the same period of last year, reaching 155 million euros, because the global crude oil price soared to the highest level in the past 14 years.

Emerging economies face difficulties such as trade, refugees and capital outflow.

For the emerging European economies located in Eastern Europe, apart from the impact of high inflation and supply shortage, they also suffer from the negative impact of regional trade obstruction, refugee influx and capital outflow.

In March, the inflation rate in Serbia reached 9.1%. According to Eurostat data, Lithuania (15.6%), Estonia (14.8%) and the Czech Republic (11.9%) are also facing serious inflation crisis, and the inflation rates of these countries have reached double digits.

As far as energy supply is concerned, there may be trade and even legal disputes between Serbia, Hungary, Bulgaria and other countries that are highly dependent on Russian natural gas.

On April 27th, Russia announced that it would suspend the supply of natural gas to Bulgaria and Poland. On the 28th, the Bulgarian Prime Minister said that the Bulgarian government was reviewing its agreement to supply natural gas to a third country, implying that it would intercept the natural gas originally supplied to Serbia and Hungary. According to malkovich, an energy expert from Deloitte, once this happens, Bulgaria will face lawsuits, but Serbia will be out of gas. At present, its inventory can only meet the demand of 20 days to one month.

Some European countries are still suffering from the impact of refugee flows. According to UNHCR, at present, 5.75 million refugees have fled Ukraine, with a total scale exceeding that of Syrian refugees since 2015. The countries most affected are Poland (3.08 million), Romania (840,000) and Hungary (530,000).

In addition, according to the data of Emerging Portfolio Fund Research (EPFR), in the first five weeks of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the capital of emerging European countries flowed out at a rate of $300 million per week. According to Bank of America, as of March 18, the global emerging market debt fund had only 14.3 billion US dollars, half of the same period in 2021.

Blocked trade in energy and other commodities, high inflation, refugees and capital outflow are not all the problems faced by the European economy since the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.

In the short term, high inflation will aggravate the risk of social unrest in European countries, especially in Central European countries that host a large number of refugees. The soaring defense budget will further increase the financial pressure of governments.

In the long run, if the global energy trade supply chain, global payment network, countries’ reserve currencies and investment orientations change more substantially under the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, I am afraid it will take a more independent and stronger Europe to gain an advantage in these uncertain games.

Volkswagen LaVida： The new car landing price is revealed. How much does it cost to maintain a car every month？

In today’s automobile market, Volkswagen has always been concerned by consumers for its stable performance, reasonable price and intimate after-sales service. Many prospective car owners will consider the landing price of new cars and the subsequent cost of car maintenance before buying a car. Today, let’s reveal the new car landing price and car maintenance cost of the 2024 Volkswagen LaVida 1.5L automatic Manyi version, and see if this popular model is really as close to the people as the legend!

First of all, let’s pay attention to the landing price of new cars. The official guide price is 127,900 yuan, but at present, you can enjoy a discount of up to 29,000 yuan in the market! This means that the price of bare cars has dropped directly to 98,900. However, to really get on the road, we also need to consider the necessary expenses such as purchase tax and auto insurance. After comprehensive calculation, the landing price of the new car is about 113 thousand, which is undoubtedly quite attractive for a compact car with stable performance and practical configuration.

Next, let’s discuss the cost of car maintenance in depth. Volkswagen LaVida’s 1.5L self-priming engine has a maximum horsepower of 110 horses, providing drivers with stable power output. In terms of fuel consumption, although the official comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.9 liters/100 kilometers, it may fluctuate in actual use due to different driving habits and road conditions, and the approximate range is between 6 and 8.5 liters/100 kilometers. Take the current price of No.92 gasoline at 8.26 yuan/liter as an example. If you drive 10,000 kilometers every year and the fuel consumption takes the median value of 7.2 liters/100 kilometers, the annual fuel cost is about 5,947 yuan.

Regarding the maintenance cost, LaVida’s first insurance is 10,000 kilometers, and then it will be maintained every 10,000 kilometers. It is estimated that the total maintenance cost of the first 60,000 kilometers is 10,903 yuan. If you drive 10,000 kilometers a year, the average annual maintenance cost is about 1,800 yuan.

In addition, the insurance cost is also a part we need to consider. In the case of no accident, the insurance cost will be reduced year by year. After comprehensive consideration of commercial insurance and compulsory insurance, the average annual insurance cost is about 2800 yuan.

Of course, in addition to these basic expenses, there are some extra expenses such as high-speed fees, parking fees and car washing fees. These fees vary from person to person and can be adjusted according to personal car habits.

To sum up, in the case of excluding vehicle scratches and violations, LaVida’s annual car cost is about 10,547 yuan, and the average monthly car expenditure is about 878 yuan. This kind of car maintenance cost is acceptable for most families.

Generally speaking, Volkswagen LaVida has become the first choice for many consumers because of its reasonable price, stable performance and the cost of car maintenance. In the process of car purchase and car maintenance, consumers can also optimize their choices according to their actual situation and needs to reduce costs. At the same time, we also expect that the future automobile market can provide more excellent models with high cost performance and low maintenance cost for consumers to choose!

Yang Huiyan brandished a knife, and Mo Bin attacked Country Garden’s new business.

　　21st century business herald reporter Wu Shuying reported in Guangzhou that "my career must have ended in Country Garden and I have been following Country Garden to the end." In August, 2020, after an "orderly" resignation rumor, Mo Bin, president of Country Garden, publicly responded.

　　Mo Bin is a professional manager who has attracted much attention in the real estate industry, and he is also a representative of Country Garden in opening the era of professional managers. In 2010, Mo Bin, then general manager of China Construction Fifth Bureau, was appreciated by Yang Guoqiang, the founder of Country Garden, and later joined Country Garden as executive director and president.

　　In the past 13 years, the senior management team of Mo Bin and Country Garden "gather talents in the world" pushed Country Garden to the position of "space housing enterprise". During this period, Mo Bin’s personal annual income topped 190 million yuan-an unattainable height even at the peak of the real estate industry.

　　Mo Bin, the first generation professional manager who intends to follow Country Garden to the end, was given a new role after Yang Huiyan, the second generation of Country Garden’s family, took the helm.

　　On May 31st, 2023, Country Garden Holding Group experienced the biggest organizational restructuring in recent years.

　　After the adjustment, Country Garden Holdings has two major industrial groups, namely, real estate, science and technology construction, and two major sectors, namely, new business and innovation investment division. Among them, Mo Bin is the president of Country Garden Holding Group and the chairman of Science and Technology Construction Group; Cheng Guangyu is the executive vice president of Country Garden Holding Group and the CEO of Country Garden Real Estate Group.

　　Country Garden said that this adjustment is mainly to implement the previously proposed "one body and two wings" development strategy (with the main business of real estate as the main body, light asset development and technology construction as the two wings). In order to reduce the impact on business units, personnel have not changed significantly for the time being.

　　The president is still Mo Bin and Cheng Guangyu, who are still executive vice presidents, and their positions have not changed. The main change occurred in the main body of Country Garden, and its main responsible person will be Cheng Guangyu, a professional manager trusted by Yang Huiyan. In the future, Mo Bin will enter the "deep water area", undertake the task of exploring new fields for Country Garden, and find a new growth curve for this gradually slowing real estate enterprise.

　　Country garden tune formation

　　Country Garden’s organizational restructuring this time is expected by the outside world.

　　In February of this year, Country Garden made a round of adjustment to the division of senior management. At that time, the business lines that Cheng Guangyu took over were expanded again, and all the sections such as operation, marketing, brand, investment and design were in his hands–this is the most important functional department of Country Garden real estate.

　　In the latest round of organizational restructuring, Cheng Guangyu officially became the person in charge of Country Garden Real Estate.

　　According to the new organizational structure, Country Garden Holding Group will take strategic management and control as the main line and lean and efficient as the principle; The real estate group, on the other hand, focuses on real estate development and entrusted construction business, with its headquarters set up functional departments such as investment planning, brand marketing, operation management, recruitment management, financial funds, human resources administration, and two business divisions, namely, overseas and special zones and entrusted construction.

　　From the analysis of the overall environment of the real estate industry, Country Garden’s adjustment of organizational structure meets the needs of development. Earlier, Vanke positioned its headquarters as the "brain", which was mainly responsible for the formulation of strategies. Its real estate development headquarters, an organization similar to Country Garden Real Estate Group, was also responsible for meeting the specific development business needs.

　　From this point of view, it is reasonable for Country Garden to make this adjustment.

　　For the new structural adjustment, Country Garden also responded that in response to the development and changes of the industry situation, the Group’s "one body and two wings" development strategy will be better guaranteed, and the organizational structure with strong real estate attributes will be iteratively upgraded to a new structure that adapts to the coordinated development of diversified businesses.

　　Country Garden emphasizes that this round of organizational restructuring aims to improve the overall resource allocation efficiency, risk control ability and quick response ability of each sub-business segment to market opportunities through scientific and effective business layout and governance model adjustment, which is conducive to stabilizing the basic real estate market and supporting the rapid development of strategic emerging industries such as Kejian.

　　On the specific candidates, after the adjustment of Country Garden, Cheng Guangyu’s burden is even heavier.

　　Cheng Guangyu joined Country Garden earlier than Mo Bin. In 2007, Cheng Guangyu joined as the first doctor of Country Garden, and has worked in Country Garden for more than 15 years.

　　Thanks to the aura of high education, Cheng Guangyu has always been a professional manager that Yang’s family relies heavily on, and he is also a trusted executive of Yang Huiyan.

　　He grew up in Country Garden. From 2012 to 2014, he was responsible for supervising the overall operation management and sustainable development of real estate projects in some areas. After 2014, Cheng Guangyu began to be responsible for marketing management, and then took over brand management, investment planning management and product design management; In addition, he is also in charge of the risk control audit and supervision center and the Wen Business Travel Group.

　　Subsequently, Cheng Guangyu went to the power center of Country Garden step by step. In December last year, he officially joined the Board of Directors of Country Garden and became an executive director.

　　Mo Bin’s New Journey

　　With Cheng Guangyu’s position settled, Mo Bin will also embark on a new journey full of challenges.

　　As the chairman of Country Garden Science and Technology Construction Group, General Mo Bin was appointed to explore new business for Country Garden. At this year’s performance meeting of Country Garden, Yang Huiyan also publicly stated, "Now, in addition to doing a good job in heavy assets, most of our energy is focused on escrow and technology construction, which are the focus of Country Garden’s new business."

　　These two new businesses, which have high hopes, should have been undertaken by Mo Bin Science and Technology Construction Group.

　　According to Mo Bin’s introduction at the interim results meeting in August, 2022, Science and Technology Construction Group will undertake the general contracting and subcontracting projects of the internal projects of the Group, and at the same time vigorously expand the external business, including government affordable housing, commercial housing, government public construction, industrial buildings and infrastructure.

　　However, in the latest structural adjustment, the agency business is divided into two parts-the traditional agency business is placed under the real estate group and directly managed by Cheng Guangyu; Mo Bin’s jurisdiction is limited to the escrow service of science and technology construction.

　　Mo Bin, who has been with Country Garden for many years, will enter the stage of tackling difficulties under the command of Yang Huiyan, gnawing more hard bones and finding more growth possibilities for Country Garden in the future.

　　A visible fact is that compared with the real estate business, the proportion of new business in Country Garden is still very small.

　　According to Country Garden’s annual report, in 2022, the income from real estate development was 417.296 billion yuan, down 17.8%; The total income of other segments, mainly including property investment, hotel operation and intelligent construction, decreased by 11.5% from 6.226 billion yuan in 2021 to 5.507 billion yuan.

　　The reason for the decline is that Country Garden once suspended the exploration of some new businesses due to market fluctuations last year.

　　At Country Garden’s 2022 interim results meeting, Mo Bin said, "In the process of market downturn, Country Garden has done some stress tests on cash flow, mainly focusing on the safety of cash flow, and also balancing the main business and new business. Except for Bo Zhilin robot, which is the only key business of new business, we have suspended some other new businesses."

　　An important business of the Science and Technology Construction Group, which Mo Bin is in charge of, is to focus on popularizing and applying the smart construction system of science and technology, which integrates advanced technologies such as construction robots, BIM digitalization, and new prefabricated buildings, and to explore new paths for high-quality development of the construction industry from the aspects of safety, quality, efficiency and environmental protection.

　　This is the most valued field of Country Garden founder Yang Guoqiang in recent years. In November last year, Yang Guoqiang also said at an internal meeting, "Now 99% of my energy is devoted to science and technology construction, which is my second venture."

　　As a professional manager valued by Yang Guoqiang, Mo Bin helped him realize his dream, which was really his job. From the recent public activities in Mo Bin, the focus of his work has also turned to this.

　　According to the news released by Kunming, on May 25th, Liu Hongjian, member of the Standing Committee of Yunnan Provincial Party Committee and secretary of Kunming Municipal Party Committee, had a discussion with Mo Bin, secretary of Party Committee and president of Country Garden Group, and his party. Mo Bin said that he will be determined to develop confidence in Kunming. While doing his main business well, he will lay out and build a construction robot manufacturing center based in Kunming and facing South Asia and Southeast Asia, and actively expand incremental business.

　　Accompanied by Country Garden for 13 years, Mo Bin crossed the real estate and pursued dream technology to find opportunities for the future of Country Garden.

From online collections to offline parties, how do Tencent musicians create and spread ＂new standards＂？

　　On the evening of August 30th, five groups of original musicians staged performances in Chaoyue MTA Space, which was closed for 24 hours.

　　Onlookers gathered at the edge of the stage or scattered on the steps not far from the stage, which was different from the traditional Livehouse. The free open space gave the audience the most comfortable appreciation and social distance.

　　This day is the offline performance of the Force Plan 2019 hosted by Tencent musicians-the "ideal first return" of the Force Party 001. Among the "onlookers" under the stage, there are curious people who come to entertain after work on Friday, and there are also fans holding lights and flowers to support the idol’s "premiere".

　　Last year, Song Dai Ting, the runner-up of the Force Plan, gave an opening performance as a "predecessor of the Force". Subsequently, several groups of musicians from the August collection of "Force Plan 2019" released their emotions on the stage one after another.

　　As an original musician, Huang Qi, a programmer and designer, can’t hide his excitement when standing on the stage: I just learned music production four months ago, and I thought I could only get a few "hypocritical" blessings in my circle of friends. Now, "Tencent musicians helped me recommend this song, and I feel particularly happy to have someone who resonated with me to comment on me."

　　Providing online and offline services for musicians in the whole industry chain is a step that has never stopped since the launch of Tencent Musicians Force Project. During the two years of growing up together with original musicians, Tencent musicians have been exploring new service standards in the field of original music.

　　From online collections to offline parties,

　　Create a precedent of music "three-dimensional release" on the music streaming platform.

　　The "Force Plan 2019", which started the collection of works on March 22 this year, has completely upgraded the collection method of works based on Tencent’s open platform for musicians, not only collecting original music works for all genres, but also continuously updating them all year round.

　　The Force Party not only provides a publicity channel for newcomers’ new works, but also provides an exposure hub for buried high-quality works. At the Force Party, there are new singers who are excited about the first performance opportunity, and there are also some "old-timers" who roll circles, such as the Deep Heart Band, which was established at the end of 2013.

　　A deep band composed of six experienced musicians who have been active in the rock music circle for many years has rich performance experience and excellent skills. During the live performance of the Force Party 001, the lead singer and musicians jumped into the audience from time to time to interact, which quickly ignited the fans’ emotions and performed Encore tracks in the final cheers.

　　It can be seen that in addition to providing online outlets for original music, Tencent musicians also provide performance channels for musicians through offline parties, encouraging them to enrich their actual combat experience and enjoy the stage while creating, making music "at your fingertips", and also allowing listeners to interact with original music more directly and feel the charm of original music.

　　Like the Force Project, when the collection is presented online, the Force Party is held offline, which not only changes the traditional propaganda methods on the traditional album line, but also opens the door for the multi-dimensional and in-depth spread of original music.

　　On the one hand, fans have a more comprehensive experience of original music: this seamless connection from online to offline, from virtual to physical, gives the original music a multi-dimensional communication channel of "tangible and audio", and also creates a "tangible" and "visible" music experience for fans, as well as a high-quality music stage where sound, light and video meet, which makes the original music not only stay at the auditory level, but also visual and visual.

　　On the other hand, Tencent musicians held the Force party from online compilation to offline, which also pioneered the three-dimensional release of music on the music streaming platform, and realized the multi-dimensional three-dimensional communication of original music. New songs are released on the online music platform, but new songs are displayed in the form of offline performances at the same time, realizing the seamless connection from virtual to physical.

　　From Livehouse to music festivals,

　　History of "Force Scene" Change

　　"We hope to make the Force Party a music scene for young musicians." Before the performance, Deng Linhai, the project director of Tencent Musicians and a senior media person, told the audience frankly.

　　In this party, about half of the original musicians are on the stage of face-to-face performance with fans for the first time. This form quickly narrowed the distance between musicians and listeners, and also created an acceptance channel for musicians to "self-evaluate".

　　At the Force Party, musician Song Shangcong stood on the stage and interacted with the audience for the first time, saying that he never thought that he could realize his musical dream through Tencent Musicians Force Plan.

　　This is naturally not the first "landing" of the Force plan. For more than two years, while continuously incubating online original music works, Tencent musicians are also committed to building more exhibition stages for original music.

　　In addition to this Force Party, as early as last September, the Force planned to hold an "extraordinary live" national tour, all the way from Changsha, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Shanghai to Beijing.

　　Musicians in the top 20 of the Force Plan, including Song Daiting, have appeared on the Livehouse stage in five major cities, and had the most intimate and intuitive music exchange and stage interaction with young people who love original music. The Force Music Festival, which landed in December, also became the "first test of water" for Tencent musicians in the field of outdoor music festivals, and gained a good reputation.

　　Earlier, the indoor Studio Concert pioneered by Tencent musicians also became a "performance acceptance" channel for original musicians. The Studio Concert broke the framework of regular stage performances, and the audience wore high-fidelity Hi-Fi headphones in the top recording studio with high-quality sound effects. Immersed in a live performance of the whole process.

　　If Studio Concert is a high-quality exhibition channel for original music provided by Tencent musicians, then the Livehouse performance integrated into urban life and the landing of outdoor music festivals will give musicians and original works an opportunity to deeply touch the on-site culture. For example, outdoor music festivals, such live performances with more forms and wider coverage, not only provide original musicians with a larger exhibition stage, but also allow Tencent musicians behind them to have an original performance acceptance.

　　Constantly exploring diverse forms, and truly realizing "deep service" for original musicians, through online collection, conveying musicians to perform offline performances, encouraging original musicians to create, at the same time, allowing them to enjoy stage performances, and realizing the three-dimensional spread of original music, which is the original intention of Tencent musicians.

　　In-depth service of original music,

　　Tencent Musicians’ "Original Links"

　　In recent years, live music has become an incremental market with great potential. Whether it is the immersive concert of Studio Concert, the cultivation of Livehouse soil in several major cities, the Force Music Festival and the Force Party launched by the Force Plan in 2019, the Force Plan has been trying to find a way to connect original music with the scene.

　　And such "live connection" is undoubtedly of great significance to original music.

　　According to the interpretation data of the original music industry in the White Paper on the Original Music Market in China in 2019 recently released by Yi En, video content with both audio and video, such as film and television dramas, is always at the forefront of mass entertainment. For music, strong appeal, strong atmosphere and strong sense of interaction drive the original music to shift from "listening" to "watching".

　　Music variety is becoming the carrier of communication in the era of "watching". When people begin to receive a large number of original musicians and works through programs, for original music, live music, which has a stronger appeal and a strong audio-visual atmosphere, is more important.

　　In recent years, various original music support programs have emerged in an endless stream. However, in the process of supporting original musicians on the music platform, there are also some defects and deficiencies. If the platform is stingy to give the original music the trust to show the stage, then the market will give the original music newcomers few and far between.

　　Tencent Musicians, the initiator of the Force Plan, as a musician platform launched by Tencent Music Entertainment Group, has become a leading online platform for original music in China through two years’ efforts, with a total of nearly 400,000 original songs, and the total number of original songs played in QQ music, cool dog music and cool music reached 100+billion times a year. In the second quarter of 2019, the daily broadcast volume of original songs by Tencent musicians increased by 200% year-on-year.

　　Under the background of wide coverage and strong resource advantages, Tencent musicians are more willing to provide stage performance opportunities for original musicians and grow with them than to absorb copyright stock.

　　To create four content sections: Force Plan, Extraordinary Scene, Original List, and Moon Salon, Tencent musicians not only support original content online, but also provide the most intuitive live experience stage for original musicians. Through online competitions and publicity, and then perform the entire industrial chain offline, the original works will spread and spread in a wider range of groups in various forms of exposure channels.

　　From the musician’s point of view, only the original musicians who have experienced the scene can better understand the audience’s tastes and learn from the feedback from the audience and make progress in the next creation. This is also the most direct encouragement for original musicians, who have gradually grown up in such repeated experiences, and the open platform of Tencent musicians has also kept moving forward in the process of online polishing and on-site connection.

　　Behind a series of support programs for young musicians, Tencent musicians provide thorough and in-depth services to original musicians. While opening up the industrial chain of the original content of the platform and providing more exports for original music, Tencent musicians open the platform. It is also iteratively growing with original music.

What are the scenes in ＂Accidentally Picking Up Love＂： The rain only falls on Zhao Lusi’s head？

The sweet pet drama "Accidentally Picking Up Love" was adapted from "Accidentally Picking Up the President", which brought together new generation actors such as Zhao Lusi, Liu Te, Qi Peixin, Zhou Junwei and Daisy.

As in the past, Zhao Lusi continued to play the inspirational female role Gu Anxin. Although he is a courier, he is still obsessed with his comic dream after work. According to the routine of film and television drama, she will definitely realize her comic book dream in the end, and the work of courier is not suitable for her. Besides, she has shares, and the Ling brothers are after her for shares.

Gu Anxin, played by Miss Zhao Lusi, gently picked an eyebrow, which also skillfully resolved the embarrassment. Xiao Bian found that this drama is simply a low-quality version of The Prince Becomes a Frog, except that Chen Qiaoen and Ming Dow are replaced by Zhao Lusi and Liu Te.

However, Gu Anxin is also within the scope of Zhao Lusi. She is silly and girlish, and occasionally neurotic, but this kind of role that has been bravely pursuing her dreams is very suitable for her. For example, in "I like you", the hostess Gu Shengnan, wearing a male name, fascinated the president Lu Jin.

The most interesting thing about Love Accidentally is that He Peng, who plays the villain Wen Huang in The Untamed, plays the villain again. In order to achieve the goal, by hook or by crook, I dare to use any dirty tricks. Sure enough, playing the villain also depends on acting skills and has a strong sense of substitution.

Besides the third son, the eldest brother and the second brother often tear each other, and the scene can be called the scene of self-harm of large brothers. Brothers settle accounts clearly, and once they encroach on their own interests, they fight far more than women. In The Three Daughters of Xia Family, the three sisters of Xia Family tear each other, but they are just jealous or fall in love with the same man. Men, on the other hand, are different. As long as you make a move, it will kill you.

In "Accidentally Picking Up Love", all the scenes of idol drama were used just after the appearance, such as car accidents, amnesia, homelessness, brothers killing each other, sisters mutual regret and so on, and the routines were full. But it’s worth it if it’s just a rice drama. After all, there are so many beautiful handsome guys in the play, and all of them are extremely beautiful.

There are various reasons for idol dramas to produce such good dramas as Descendants of the Sun and Dear, Loving, besides good scripts, actor acting and actor flow. The right time, the right place and the right people must be taken up to achieve good results.

In a word, if a drama wants to be of high quality, it is to fight with the details to the end. Make-up, hair, clothes, not one less. Of course, there are also many goof shots that are most likely to make the audience pick holes. As it happens, "Accidentally Picking Up Love" made a big mistake, let’s find it together!

The first shot: Where did the water go after it flooded Jinshan Temple?

Ling Yue, the hero played by Liu Te, is the heir of a company. But he was very bad karma. He was framed by his brother as soon as he appeared, and almost died in a car accident. Fortunately, Gu Anxin picked him up and returned home. He touched porcelain with her, and Gu Anxin had no idea.

Gu Anxin goes to work during the day, and he stays at home alone. With no life experience, he made many troubles, which made Gu Anxin a headache.

The most serious one was the one when the water flooded Jinshan Temple. He turned on the tap, and it burst, and water flowed all over the floor. When Gu Anxin came in, the water was already on her knees.

When the camera turns, all the water on the ground is gone. Gu Anxin sat in a chair, very leisurely. It seems that the water disappeared automatically. This goof shot made people laugh for three seconds.

The second shot: the rain only cares about peace of mind?

As we all know, the rainy scenes in film and television dramas are all fake. Unless those crews are obsessed with the details, they watch the weather forecast in advance in order to shoot a real rain, and they will also shoot rainy days when it rains. In most cases, the pictures of rain in film and television dramas are artificial rainfall, and when the sprinkler passes by, it will rain.

No, while Gu Anxin was waiting for the bus, it rained falsely. At that time, the weather was fine, the sun was fine, and the rain only fell to the bus station, and there was no rain in the tall building behind it.

The mysterious words exposed on the wall after the earthquake in Osaka, Japan actually came from Zuo Zhuan.

　　Overseas networkJune 24 thA 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck Osaka, Japan on the 18th, killing at least five people and destroying many houses and streets. Some Japanese netizens found that one wall of their bathroom was shaken off and "mysterious words" were revealed, while other rooms were safe and sound.

　　This incident triggered a heated discussion among Japanese netizens. Some people thought that "mysterious words" were spells or scriptures, and it was not until sharp-eyed netizens discovered that this was actually Zuo Zhuan that they solved everyone’s doubts.

　　According to Taiwan media reports, some netizens posted photos of the disaster after the earthquake on the 18th. The photo shows that a wall in his bathroom was knocked down, and there was a paragraph in it, but he couldn’t understand it, so he had to ask online. Many netizens declassified and said, "Is it a scripture?" "It feels like a Chinese book or newspaper", and it was not until some netizens turned the picture upside down and the font was corrected that the case gradually dawned.Finally, some netizens pointed out that this is one of the passages from Zuo Zhuan’s Eighteen Years of Wengong that "filial piety and faithfulness are auspicious, and thieves and traitors are vicious".

　　It is understood that Zuo Zhuan is said to be a historical book annotated by Zuo Qiuming of Lu at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, which is called "Three Biographies of Spring and Autumn Period" together with Biography of Ram and Biography of Guliang. It is also the first chronicle history book in China with a detailed narrative, with a total of 35 volumes. It is one of the Confucian classics and the longest among the thirteen classics, and it is listed as the classics in the Siku Quanshu.

　　The mystery of the text is revealed, but some people are curious, why is the paper mixed in it? In this regard,Some netizens explained that in the past, when building a house in the Edo era, workers would mix paper into the raw materials to increase the structural strength of the building, and increase the structural strength. Some even speculate that the house may be a hundred years old.(Overseas Network/Liu Qiang)

The deep-sea pressure is so great, why haven’t deep-sea fish been crushed to death？

Produced by: Popular Science China

Production: Ye Peiyuan (Shanghai Ocean University, Yunhai Science Team)

Producer: computer network information center

A few days ago, a big news almost swept the circle of friends: Endeavor successfully sat at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, with a depth of 10,909 meters, which is a new depth record for China’s manned submersible!

△ (Source: Chinese Academy of Sciences)

With the continuous development of submersible technology, people have gradually discovered that the vast deep sea is not dead, and countless creatures thrive in this dark place.

Among them,Mariana lionfish, which lives about 8000 meters below the sea surface, is the "deepest deep-sea fish" found by people at present.In contrast, the depth of human diving is generally within 10-20 meters, and the most extreme depth is only 300 meters. You know, at 8000 meters underwater, the hydrostatic pressure is about 800 atmospheres, which is almost equivalent to an adult bull standing on your fingernail. Without the submersible, it is impossible for human beings to reach such a deep sea.

So, how do deep-sea fish bear such great pressure? Is it because they have a good attitude?

Compression resistance, starting from the break of the swim bladder.

Everyone may have an experience when swimming: when you dive into the bottom of the swimming pool, you will feel a sense of oppression in the eardrum, even a slight pain. This is because the water pressure outside the eardrum is obviously greater than the air pressure inside, resulting in an inward pressure on the eardrum. From this example, we can draw a conclusion:With the increase of water depth, the water pressure will be much higher than atmospheric pressure, causing the surrounding water to start squeezing the inflated objects inward.

Most bony fish are an inflatable object in a sense, because they have an inflatable swim bladder in their bodies. For bony fishes living in shallow water, the swim bladder is a very important structure, which can help fish adjust their buoyancy, so as to float or dive. But for deep-sea fish, the air-filled swim bladder is just like a fragile balloon, and the huge external water pressure will squeeze and trample the balloon without reservation until it is blown to pieces. Therefore, many deep-sea fish "abandoned" the "dangerous" structure of swim bladder in the process of evolution, and instead relied on some lipids to provide buoyancy.

Compared with fish in shallow water, deep-sea fish have less bones and muscles, but more lipids and gums. In addition, the proportion of cartilage in the bones of deep-sea fish is much higher than that of shallow-sea fish.For deep-sea fish, this is a necessary "compromise" to adapt to deep-sea life. As the saying goes, "rigidity is easy to break", compared with bones and muscles, lipids and gums can better help fish resist great pressure.

At the same time, this body structure has another advantage.Low proportion of bones and muscles can reduce the energy consumption of deep-sea fish, while high proportion of lipids can store more energy at the same time, which is very important for fish in the deep sea with poor nutrition and thin oxygen.

A few years ago, it was rated as the ugliest creature in the world, and the water-dripping fish-the soft-hidden echinoderma is a good example. The water-dripping fish caught ashore is often a pool of soft pink objects, lifelike like a slime with a big nose. However, in the deep sea, the shape of water-dripping fish is no different from that of ordinary fish, but in the process of being caught ashore, their body structure is destroyed due to the rapid reduction of pressure, which has become what we see. In the place where they live, it is this colloid that helps them survive.

△ Dropfish (Source: Wikipedia)

Previous studies have found that in the genome of Mariana lionfish, genes regulating bone development and bone tissue ossification have mutated. This mutation will lead to the early termination of the calcification process of Mariana lionfish bones, resulting in most of its bone components being cartilage. The ability of cartilage to resist high pressure is far stronger than that of hard bone tissue.

Deep into the cell membrane, strong compression resistance

However, this is not all the skills of deep-sea fish.

You know, hydrostatic pressure is not a macroscopic object, it is not like a hand holding a deep-sea fish tightly, and it will only affect the deep-sea fish from the macroscopic body structure.Hydrostatic pressure is pervasive, and it will attack both macro structure and micro structure.

When we focus on the microscopic world, we will find that the fluidity of cell membrane will decrease under high pressure. Simply put,In the deep sea, the cell membrane will become more "hard".This is not a good thing. Cell membrane is an important gateway to control substances entering and leaving cells, and hardening of cell membrane will make it more difficult for substances to enter and leave cells. The nutrients outside the cell can’t enter the cell, and the waste produced in the cell is difficult to be transported out of the cell, so the creature will not survive. It’s like a takeaway who wants to deliver a takeaway through a crowded intersection: originally, he just had to squeeze through the cracks, but as a result, a mysterious force pushed everyone together, making everyone stick to everyone, and the takeaway couldn’t squeeze through despite his desperate efforts. At this time, he would feel great pressure.

Scientists have found that,Compared with shallow-sea fish, deep-sea fish have more unsaturated fatty acids on their cell membranes, which enables their cell membranes to maintain a high level of fluidity under high pressure and improve the efficiency of material transportation.

For example, vegetable oil has a higher content of unsaturated fatty acids than animal oil, so vegetable oil is generally liquid at room temperature, while animal oil is mostly solid. It is difficult for you to let a coin penetrate a piece of butter, but it is easy to let it fall from the surface of a bottle of peanut oil to the bottom of the bottle.

A high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids can make deep-sea fish have a "soft" cell membrane even in a high-pressure environment. However, if a deep-sea fish is caught ashore, its cell structure will also be destroyed, because when it is in a low-pressure environment, the cell membrane is a little too fluid and too "soft", which leads to cell breakage.

△ Analysis of 9 teleost gene families showed that the gene families related to fatty acid metabolism in MHS were significantly amplified (image source: Reference 1).

Lipids are not the only substances affected by high pressure, and it is difficult for protein to escape the ubiquitous pressure.Normally, the structure of protein affected by high pressure will change and its function will lose, and the normal work of protein is very important for the survival of living things.

Fortunately, deep-sea fish also have corresponding coping strategies for this.The amino acids in some protein-specific sites of deep-sea fish will be replaced by other amino acids, which will improve their resistance to stress.For example, α -actin in deep-sea fish has been substituted by amino acids at many sites, including the binding site of calcium ion and ATP. Amino acid substitution at these two sites can ensure that actin can still work normally in high pressure environment.

In addition, the number and types of chemical bonds in some protein will change to some extent.This change leads to the change of protein tertiary structure, thus strengthening the rigidity of protein structure and improving its adaptability to high pressure environment. Just like when you put two more tapes on the outside of a building block, it is definitely much more stable than not putting tape on it.

It has also been found that the content of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) in deep-sea fish is much higher than that in shallow-sea fish. Trimethylamine oxide is a very important protein stabilizer, which can help denatured protein to recover its original structure, thus restoring its normal function.A large amount of trimethylamine oxide in deep-sea fish can help the protein in their cells to maintain the original structure and function, thus ensuring the cell activity.

Interestingly, with the death of fish, trimethylamine oxide will gradually decompose into trimethylamine, which is an important source of fishy smell of marine fish. That is to say, the more deep-sea fish, the heavier the smell after death, and it is not difficult for inland friends to understand that hairtail always has a heavy smell.

△ These changes in gene coding and regulatory sequences may help MHS increase intracellular TMAO level to enhance protein stability (image source: Reference 1).

Nowadays, some people always feel that the surrounding environment has put a lot of pressure on them, and they choose to live in Buddhism or even give up on themselves. But think about it, the fish in the deep sea have not given up under such great pressure. Even if they start to change themselves from the protein level, they should adapt to the environment and become the masters of the environment. What reason do you have to give up? Take action to change yourself and overcome the pressure!
