Special Planning | Creation Methodology of "She"

From Christina’s voice on behalf of the "middle-aged actress" on the hot search last year, to Ma Yili’s call for women’s reproductive autonomy recently, feminist issues have been hot in the public opinion field in recent years.

The fiery topic of "She" was quickly reflected in the film and television industry, with women as the narrative subject, and the theme content of "She" concerned about "female expression" gradually came to the stage. This year, the summer drama market has become the world with the theme of "She": Twenty Don’t Confuse, Nothing But Thirty, He doesn’t really love you that much, Skyscrapers, White Moonlight, Dear Yourself and other dramas have emerged one after another, causing widespread concern. According to the public information of the dramas that have been started and are to be broadcast, a large number of female-themed dramas such as last romance, Bitter Girl, Just Youth, Great Girl, Family heirloom and Dress Up will follow.

With the increasingly fierce competition in the field of "She", what changes have taken place in the creation of "She"? What kind of works are more easily recognized by the audience and resonate with the audience? What are the problems in the creation of "She"? How to crack and realize innovation? 

From "Big Lady" to "Urban Woman"

Looking at the whole drama market, the female theme has always been an existence that cannot be ignored. However, in the past, the female orientation in many works was trapped in a chicken feather and obsessed with the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; Or it is getting narrower and narrower on the road of "big woman". Dai Qing, a professor at the School of Drama, Film and Television, Communication University of China, said that most of the once popular female dramas were cross-type, and there were female protagonists in various theme types such as costume idol dramas, historical legendary dramas and urban emotional dramas. "But the more female dramas, the more often they showed the pattern of’ overbearing president falling in love with me’." These dramas take "Female Legends and Inspirations" as the publicity gimmick, but what they show is how women step by step reach the peak of their lives by relying on men who prefer themselves. There are also some female dramas, which are more like the gender transformation of male dramas, and the background is not realistic.

In recent years, some female dramas have obviously changed their styles and perspectives, and gradually turned to the creation of female realistic themes, such as My First Half Life, Ode to Joy and Beijing Women’s Picture Book, etc., which have won considerable discussion. However, the creative habit of some works "relying on love to promote the plot" has not changed. "Many women still have the support of the overbearing president." In Dai Qing’s view, some dramas are covered with the cloak of "female inspiration", but inside they are the "fairy tale" love of materialized women. "But how romantic the image is, how cruel the reality is."

With the creation upsurge of realistic themes, the theme of urban women has become a new hot spot and ushered in a blowout last year. These works deeply explore the theme of women’s self-growth and transformation, and face up to all kinds of problems encountered by modern urban women in career, love and family. Recently, a survey conducted by Guduo Data Research Institute on 23 TV dramas about urban women in recent years shows that the female topics in these dramas mainly focus on the female workplace, female independence, family of origin, self-identity, domestic violence, etc. Among them, women’s workplace, women’s independence and family of origin are the three most common topics, and they are also the hot topics of general discussion.

Dai Qing believes that the prosperity of the theme of "She" is an important symbol of the prominent aesthetic superiority of women at present, which is closely related to the general improvement of women’s economic status and social status. Especially in the era of media integration, women as the main audience help the fan economy, and the number of young and middle-aged female screenwriters is increasing day by day. These factors have greatly enhanced the power of "she" and created a popular theme of "she" on the screen. Shown in the creation of family ethics drama, urban emotional drama, youth campus drama, etc., female group drama has become a major creative highlight. Ode to Joy series and Nothing But Thirty’s Twenty Don’t Confuse, released by Ning Meng Film this summer, are all representative works of female group drama. Interestingly, the roles of some male characters in these works began to change. "In many female dramas this year, men no longer play the role of escort for women, and some men even become obstacles to women’s growth." 

Zhou Kehui, the producer of iQiyi’s self-made drama development center, once participated in the creation of the female drama "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful". She believes that the root of the change in the theme of "she" lies in the increasing realistic pressure faced by women. "These pressures come not only from family, but also from society and the workplace. How to integrate emotions and careers, how to face social topics such as fertility and age, and the complex situation faced by women have attracted more and more attention, so works focusing on new women in the workplace came into being. "

Look at the reality and show the truth

From the overall performance of this year’s drama market, we can see that focusing on the realistic works of urban women, with in-depth discussion on women’s workplace, life, family and other aspects, has achieved good ratings and aroused many audiences’ resonance.

Zhang Yingji, a screenwriter in Nothing But Thirty, thinks that it is very difficult to create female themes. The social role of women in the new era has changed a lot, but the audience is still demanding the female roles in the plays. How to balance the realism and the audience’s acceptance is a major difficulty in script creation. Zhang Yingji emphasized that it is very important to observe and record life when creating female themes. "For example, the moving master and intermediary brother who appeared in Nothing But Thirty are actually met in my usual life. I silently wrote down their words and professional characteristics, and then digested them into my works. " In Zhang Yingji’s view, this kind of characters and plays with the rough texture of life is the cornerstone of the realism of realistic works.

Creating a female image with a sense of the times and real temperature is the key to the breakthrough of female themes. Xu Xiaoou, executive vice president of Ning Meng Film and the chief producer of the TV series "Twenty Don’t Confuse" in Nothing But Thirty, said that "Twenty Don’t Confuse" took a long time to gain insights from the post-1995 generation, "depicting the group images of this generation, and then refining the portraits of people, such as their personality, outlook on money, values and love, and then putting them into the main plot to build a story." The refining and expression of 30+ female portraits is also the core difficulty in Nothing But Thirty’s creative process. Xu Xiaoou believes that to create a role, it is necessary to integrate special typical people with high-concentration details, which will arouse real resonance, that is, "the reality of the world half a foot off the ground." 

Zhou Kehui believes that works that are close to the audience’s life and hit the audience’s pain points are more likely to resonate and then go out of the circle. "People-oriented, reflecting the positive spirit of the times, observing real life, conveying universal empathy, and warming people’s hearts while showing true humanity, such works can arouse the audience’s expectations, jump out of their own genre circles, trigger discussions, and achieve the effect of being out of the circle." In Zhou Kehui’s view, the audience will not pay for a work that is completely "irrelevant to me". "If the audience needs to spread spontaneously, the work is bound to show what they face together or what they expect to see."

For the creation of female themes, Yang Hongtao, a professor at the School of Drama, Film and Television of China Communication University, believes that it is necessary to grasp three levels: "At the story level, we must treat the relationship between life flow and drama dialectically, and we must grasp the dialectical relationship between the two aspects; On the role level, in order to achieve the collusion of typicality and uniqueness, we must capture a character in the female images of different occupations, ages, circumstances, regions, incomes and academic qualifications; At the level of topic selection, it is necessary to hit the target audience more accurately, expand its circle boundary and break through intergenerational barriers. "

There are hidden worries behind prosperity.

There are also hidden worries behind the prosperity of her theme creation. Yang Mingpin, deputy director of the Development Research Center of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, said that in recent years, women’s themes have increased dramatically, and several excellent works with both word-of-mouth and topics have appeared. This is the exploration result of contemporary realistic drama, which reflects the confusion and pursuit of women’s life value brought about by the social progress and rapid changes in contemporary China, and has certain value and is worthy of recognition; But on the other hand, we should also see the serious problems exposed by these female dramas. "That is, the aesthetic focus is lost in the narrow and small, and it is limited to expressing the small world of certain types of female individuals, ignoring the big world and era of contemporary China women, and the social environment is not typical." 

Yang Mingpin believes that although some works attract onlookers, they have not produced greater spiritual strength to inspire and lead people, their aesthetic value is difficult to break through, and their artistic aftertaste is difficult to last. "This actually illustrates a creative phenomenon: lofty realism is bound to write profound changes and high-spirited spirit in the great era. If we ignore the times, it can only be a small world of office and family life. Although it is exquisitely written and innovative, it is difficult to improve the spiritual height, cultural connotation and artistic value, and it is difficult to climb the peak of art. "

Dai Qing believes that women’s theme creation has a certain extreme tendency in character setting. For example, the female characters in some works have a strong materialistic pursuit and moral sense, which will make the characters full of anxiety and tension and easily lead to hot topics on the Internet. However, this kind of role setting has great singularity and lacks real typicality. "Typicality is not the superposition of legendary and bizarre, but the typical meaning should be oriented to the public, with both individuality and universality, so that people can see their own shadow in typical characters."

In some contemporary urban women’s works, the drama of "Green Tea Little Three" and "Tearing love rat by Hand" can always trigger a wide-ranging discussion on the Internet. Dai Qing believes that in the performance of the relationship between men and women, it is not appropriate to treat it as binary opposition and tension. In fact, whether it is a sweet pet drama or a confrontation between the hero and heroine, it is a more extreme treatment, which may seem very enjoyable and easy to cause social topics, but it is not a clever writing after all; It is the general direction of drama creation to show the harmony of the family and the gender and convey the gentle and normal ethics.

Regarding the problems existing in the creation of "She", Zhou Kehui also mentioned "suspension" and whether the play can maintain the original intention of discussing the topic of "women’s independence". "The fundamental thing in the creation of women’s themes is to do a good job in designing people. How to solve the problems faced by women, how to choose in the face of love, should be set according to the person’s design and the growth line of characters, and combined with the reality to do landing and restoration. In this way, this female image is full, her choice is logical, and her growth is moving and convincing. "

Life is the source of constant innovation.

The creation of any theme needs constant innovation. "Women+suspense" is undoubtedly a new direction of female theme creation this year. For example, the small-budget online drama "Dangerous She" at the beginning of the year, "Imperfect She" starring Zhou Xun, and the recent broadcast of "White Moonlight" and "Skyscraper" all belong to this category. Ouyang Lou, a post-90s screenwriter, is also concerned about the rise of the new type of "women+suspense". "Previously, women’s works were mostly concentrated in the areas of idols, feelings and family ethics, but now female audiences are obviously not satisfied with this, and they hope to have more rich and novel ways to tell women’s stories. In addition, more and more female audiences are beginning to prefer exciting, complex and brain-burning plot modes, and suspense works are no longer exclusive to men. "

Xie Ying, general manager of Youku Drama Center, said that female themes are hard currency. Youku will continue to explore and deepen the female market with platform users and related users as the core. This year, it will launch many love women dramas with different themes, and will continue to increase the number of female suspense categories. "We have some new ideas, and we are also making corresponding layouts: First, the emotions are more full; Second, the types are more diversified. I also hope that more and more works will resonate with the audience in terms of women’s self-awakening and character growth. " In addition to the already broadcast White Moonlight, Youku will follow up with other series such as Cloister Pavilion, Fog Tracking and Sten. In these dramas, women are no longer the functional role of foil, but the main promoter of the plot and the subject and foothold of values.

Dai Qing hopes that the creators can further expand their creative ideas, broaden their cultural horizons, explore broader women’s life problems, pay attention to ordinary women, and show the living conditions of different female groups; At the same time, we should link the independence of women’s spiritual personality, women’s liberation with the development of the whole society, and the self-reliance and self-improvement of different groups and individuals, and make an overall grasp and consideration to create a more honest, credible, rich and diverse female image. She believes that many classic dramas at home and abroad, such as Golden Marriage, Parents’ Love, Massage, Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law and Please Answer 1988, can be used as aesthetic objects for creators to study and refer to. "Learn how these classic works deal with the ripples of daily life, create poetic and aesthetic feelings of life, and how to grasp the dramatic temperature and discretion. The fertile soil of life is an inexhaustible mine, and innovation still comes from life. "

Just "change" the battery? How can changing electricity be so simple?

  In the use of pure electric vehicles, battery problems have been bothering many consumers. The difficulty in installing charging piles, long charging time and battery decay all affect consumers’ daily experience. In order to solve these problems, the power exchange mode came into being. Especially under the impetus of the policy, this year’s electricity exchange market is more lively. Since the first power exchange station of Chang ‘an New Energy was completed in Chongqing in September this year, power exchange stations from Geely and Dongfeng have successively landed or appeared in Chongqing, Jinan, Wuhan and other cities, breaking the situation that Weilai and BAIC were "equally divided" in the previous power exchange market. However, it is worth noting that it is nothing new that the battery replacement mode has already appeared. Behind the current lively situation, the constraints of profitability and battery specifications faced by the battery replacement mode remain unresolved.

  ▼ Policy spring breeze wakes up the rivers and lakes.

  As the name implies, changing electricity means centralized storage, centralized charging and unified distribution of a large number of batteries through centralized charging stations, and battery replacement service for electric vehicles in battery distribution stations. Compared with the ordinary charging mode, the battery replacement mode can solve a series of problems caused by the difficulty of charging new energy vehicles, battery attenuation and easy spontaneous combustion, and the vehicle-electric separation mode adopted in the battery replacement can also effectively reduce the first purchase cost. This obvious advantage attracted many people to try layout more than ten years ago.

  Image source Better Place Weibo

  In 2007, Israeli Xia Jiaxi founded the first operating company, Better Place, which aims at changing electricity for passenger cars. However, the mode of changing electricity needs to lay a large number of power stations as the foundation, which is undoubtedly a "bottomless pit" for burning money in the early stage of operation. In 2013, Better Place declared bankruptcy and liquidation because it was difficult to balance the investment and income of the business model. At the same time in China, Dongfeng, Zotye, Kangdi, Nanjing Automobile and other companies also put a number of operating vehicles in the mode of changing electricity into the market, but they also did not stir up a splash.

  Now, many years later, with the continuous expansion of the scale of new energy vehicles in China, the problems of charging difficulty and battery attenuation of pure electric products are becoming more and more serious. In order to solve the battery-related problems, the spring breeze of national policy has blown to the power exchange mode. In April this year, the "Notice on Improving the Financial Subsidy Policy for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Vehicles" jointly issued by the four ministries and commissions of the country clearly encouraged the development of the power exchange model; In May, after discussion and deliberation by delegates and members, the power exchange station was written into the government work report for the first time as an important part of the new infrastructure. Driven by the policy spring breeze, the domestic power exchange rivers and lakes are becoming more and more lively.

  ▼40 days, 3 car companies entered the game.

  On September 10th, the first power exchange station of Chang ‘an New Energy was officially completed in Chongqing Olympic Sports Center. As a new heavyweight contestant after Weilai and BAIC, Chang ‘an New Energy Power Exchange Station has attracted great attention from the outside world. Generally speaking, the process of changing electricity mainly covers five steps: generating an order-entering the station-changing electricity-testing-leaving the station. Prior to this, the power exchange time announced by Weilai and BAIC remained at about 3 minutes, but the appearance of Chang ‘an New Energy Power Exchange Station refreshed this data. According to public information, Changan New Energy has reduced the time from battery taking to battery loading to 30 seconds, and the whole process from vehicle entering the station to battery replacement takes only 1 minute.

  Geely Automobile also set a new record. A week after the completion of Chang ‘an New Energy Power Station, Geely Automobile’s first power station was officially unveiled at the 2020 Zhibo Fair and landed in Liangjiang New District, Chongqing. A month later, on October 18th, the second power station of Geely Automobile was put into operation in Jinan, Shandong. The data shows that Geely Power Station adopts a double-bin design, which can accommodate 39 battery packs, and can provide nearly 1000 power exchange services every day, and the power exchange time is about 90 s.

  On October 19th, Dongfeng Motor’s intelligent power exchange station was also unveiled. At the 5th Science and Technology Innovation Week, after a Fengshen E70 (parameter | inquiry) drove into Dongfeng’s intelligent power exchange station, the vehicle was transported to the operation room by the conveyor and lifted, and the battery exchange robot automatically unloaded the old battery and installed the new battery. The whole process only took about 1 minute.

  In just 40 days, the power exchange stations of the three major car companies have successively landed or appeared. Coupled with the paving of Weilai and BAIC, the prototype of the power exchange market has begun to appear. However, it is worth noting that even with the blessing of policies, the fundamental problem of the power exchange model-the contradiction between cost and profit-has not been solved.

  ▼ The contradiction between cost and profit is difficult to solve.

  In the mode of power exchange, the separation of vehicle and electricity is an important link. Compared with ordinary pure electric vehicles, the battery cost of pure electric vehicles is no longer borne by consumers, and a series of risks such as battery attenuation are also transferred to the vehicle enterprises. These benefits enjoyed by consumers mean that car companies need to invest a lot of money in building power stations and buying batteries.

  For example, Zhu Jiang, then vice president of Weilai Automobile, previously revealed that the daily operating cost of Weilai’s free power exchange was about 50,000 RMB. It has also been estimated by insiders that the average operating cost of each power station in Weilai is 400,000 yuan. From 2018 to now, Weilai Power Station has invested more than 500 million yuan. BAIC, which explored the power exchange market earlier, invested more. Wang Chunfeng, deputy general manager of BAIC Blue Valley Marketing Service Co., Ltd., said that in terms of power exchange station operation, the investment of a single power exchange station of BAIC New Energy is about 3 million yuan, but this figure is slowly declining.

  Corresponding to the high cost is the uncertainty of profit prospects. At present, the power exchange in the market is mainly aimed at two groups, one is the private vehicles of ordinary consumers, and the other is the operating vehicles represented by taxis. Weilai, Beiqi New Energy, Chang ‘an, Geely and other enterprises have changed power stations, only Weilai’s power station is aimed at private users, while the latter three are mainly for taxis and network cars. In addition, in 2018, BAIC New Energy also released a battery-changing model called EU Quick Change Edition for ordinary consumers, but few people bought it.

  In these two modes of operation, from 2018 to now, the number of power exchange orders for Weilai Power Station for private consumers has accumulated more than 1 million times. However, Weilai launched a lifetime free service for car owners, which means that the previous investment of 500 million yuan was a pure loss. Recently, however, Weilai has adjusted the policy of free power exchange: from October 12, 2020, users who pay big orders will be changed from unlimited power exchange to free power exchange for the first 6 times a month; Car owners who pay before October 12, 2020 still enjoy life-long unlimited free nationwide power exchange service. As for whether this adjustment can improve the profitability of the power station for Weilai, it still takes time to test.

  As of June this year, 187 Beiqi new energy power stations for operating vehicles such as taxis have been built and put into operation in 19 cities across the country, with a total of 4.8 million power exchanges. However, in terms of profitability, BAIC New Energy and its partner Aodong in the field of power exchange have never been publicly disclosed. Aika Automobile found out from the announcement issued by BAIC Blue Valley (6.490, 0.04, 0.62%) when BAIC New Energy increased its capital for Aodong last year that the operating income of Aodong from January to April 2019 was 3,610,800 yuan and the net profit loss was 19,122,200 yuan. This means that among all the distribution power stations of AUTO, only a few power stations operating at full capacity have achieved profitability.

  The picture shows the Aodong electric bar changing power station.

  In addition to the difficulty in making profits, consumers have also encountered many difficulties in the process of using the power exchange service. "The pure electric taxi we drive can change electricity, but there are only thirty or forty power stations in Beijing. When we are running a sports car in the city, we often encounter the situation that the car has no electricity but the battery of the power station is not enough." Master Yang, a Beijing taxi driver, told Aika Automobile. It is understood that Master Yang’s "dissatisfaction with electricity" refers to the situation that the battery in the power station is not fully charged. Generally speaking, each power station will be equipped with thirty or forty batteries, but when the power exchange vehicle exceeds the upper limit of the power exchange station, the batteries of the power exchange station will be replaced by the power exchange vehicle before they are fully charged. When Aika Automobile met Master Yang at a power station in Haidian, there were already eight taxis waiting in line to change power.

  ▼ Scale is the key to breaking the game

  "In order to optimize the power exchange experience and achieve profitability, it is not enough for enterprises to fight alone." Regarding the contradiction between high cost and profit prospect, and the "power shortage" encountered by Master Yang, an industry expert told Aika Automobile that the "power shortage" was mainly caused by the imperfect network layout of power exchange stations, and the imperfect layout of power exchange stations was caused by the excessive investment of a single power exchange station, which was difficult for enterprises to bear. Only by changing the number of power stations can the consumer experience be optimized and improved; Only when the number of electric vehicles increases, can we bring enough passengers to each power station, and the power station can achieve profitability. The two are complementary and interlocking. "

  The losses of Weilai and Beiqi New Energy Power Station prove that enterprises only serve their own products to change electricity, and it is difficult to achieve profitability. At the same time, if every enterprise invests a lot of cost to lay the power station network, it will not only be difficult for enterprises, but also waste resources for the whole society. In the expert’s view, only when the car companies combine Lian Heng in power exchange and the overall market forms a scale effect can the problem be fundamentally solved.

  Chang’ an’s mode of changing power stations is based on this idea. Aika Automobile understands that by joining hands with partners such as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, Aodong, State Grid and Iron Tower, Chang ‘an New Energy Power Exchange Station can support the power exchange services of seven major automobile companies such as BAIC, GAC, SAIC, FAW Hongqi, Pentium, Dongfeng Qichen, Chang ‘an and Jianghuai, which means that the power exchange station will have higher turnover rate and profitability.

  But for the whole market, this model also means a new round of competition for the right to speak. "If you want to realize the universal interchangeability of batteries in many enterprises, you must formulate a unified battery specification. Whoever formulates this specification will occupy a dominant position in the new round of power exchange market. " The expert said, "If you want to continue to develop the power exchange mode, more and more car companies will cooperate, and the standard dispute of pure electric batteries will soon appear. At the same time, this debate is not limited to car companies, and charging operators are also important players in the power exchange market. Whether this standard is customized by car companies or formulated by charging operators also determines the right to speak in the battery field. "

  In fact, despite the warmth of policy spring breeze, there are still a lot of problems for car companies to promote the development of power exchange mode. In addition to a large amount of capital investment, the cooperation between enterprises at the same level, the unification of battery specifications, the acceptance of consumers and the future dispute over the right to speak are all issues that need to be considered.

    The first part helps everyone to better understand the engine oil through simple introduction and parameter analysis. This article will mainly combine theoretical knowledge with practice to talk about how to choose engine oil. As the so-called "suit the remedy to the case", the reason why we change the oil is the same. If we want to choose the right medicine, we must first understand what the "symptom" is. Everyone knows that engine oil is engine lubricating oil, so its function is only as simple as lubrication? Below, the author will give you a brief introduction to the role of engine oil, which is also convenient for us to "prescribe the right medicine".

1. What is the function of engine oil?

    Engine oil plays an important role in the engine. As long as the engine is running, the engine oil will not stop flowing, and in this flow, it will complete its mission. So what are the main functions of engine oil?

1, lubrication, reduce wear and tear

    Lubricating oil, of course, the first task is lubrication. When the engine is running, high-speed friction will occur on the surfaces of various metal parts. The function of engine oil is to form an oil film between parts through flow, reduce friction resistance and reduce wear, thus prolonging the life of the engine.

2. Cleaning function

    When the engine oil circulates in the engine, it can bring out the carbon deposit, oil stain, sludge and other dirty things produced by the engine, and finally settle in the oil pan to prevent the dirty things from re-entering the engine, thus achieving the cleaning function.

3. Protective effect

    In addition to lubricating the engine, engine oil can also play a protective role through its own "oiliness". For example, engine oil adheres to the surface of metal parts for a long time, so that the metal parts are isolated from the air, which can play a role in rust prevention and oxidation resistance. In addition, the oil adheres to the gap between parts, and the oil film formed can make the parts better sealed and reduce the possibility of leakage.

4. Auxiliary cooling

    With the continuous circulation and flow of the engine in high-speed operation, the engine oil can take out part of the heat in the engine and play an auxiliary cooling role.

5. Buffering effect

    Engine oil can bear part of the impact load transmitted by the bearing, and at the same time, it can also play a certain buffering role for the mutual impact between components.

Second, how should I choose engine oil?

    The above introduces some basic knowledge about engine oil, so what should we do in the process of actually selecting and buying engine oil? The following editor will give you a few tips and introduce how to choose the right engine oil in different categories.

1. The 4S shop told me that this engine oil is special. Is it true?

Engine oil lecture hall

    First of all, engine oil only has the similar industry standards such as SAE and API mentioned above. Because engine oil manufacturers don’t develop engine oil according to a certain model, there is no such thing as "special vehicle" or "original engine oil", and those products packaged as "original engine oil" are actually produced by engine oil manufacturers, even commercial engine oil. The reason for this phenomenon is just that automobile manufacturers pursue profits. Secondly, as long as you choose the engine oil that meets the vehicle’s use environment, it is appropriate. So don’t be superstitious about those "special engine oil" statements.

2. What kind of engine oil is used in winter?

Engine oil lecture hall

    Before the cold winter comes, if you happen to need to change the oil, it is recommended that you choose a type with good low temperature fluidity. For example, if you are in the cold northern region, it is recommended that you choose the product with the label of 0W, such as Jinjixing J700U(0W-40/0W-50). If you are in the south where winter is not cold, it is enough to choose products with the label of 5W and 10W. For example, Jinjixing series J500, J600 and J700 all have products with 5W-40 and 5W-30.

3. What kind of engine oil is used in summer?

Engine oil lecture hall

    Although the temperature is high in summer, it is still a drop in the bucket compared with the high temperature of about 100℃ in the engine, so the selection of engine oil in summer is not too affected by the environment. At present, the viscosity of synthetic engine oil is less affected by temperature, and the engine produced in recent years has newer technology and more precise components, so it doesn’t need too much oil viscosity. In most parts of China, you can only choose SAE 30 products. If your engine is old or worn, it is recommended that you choose SAE 40 products.

4. My car is turbocharged. What kind of engine oil should I use?

Engine oil lecture hall

    We know that the turbocharged engine with the same displacement is more powerful than the naturally aspirated engine, and its components are more prone to wear, which is beyond doubt. So what kind of oil does a turbocharged engine need? Turbocharged engines need oil with good wear resistance, high temperature resistance, high oil film strength and so on. It is suggested to choose all synthetic engine oil or semi-synthetic engine oil, because synthetic engine oil is the best choice for turbocharged vehicles because of its small temperature change and strong high temperature resistance, which can ensure the oil film strength.

5. synthetic engine oil is so good, is it suitable for all cars?

Engine oil lecture hall

    Theoretically, all cars can be used in synthetic engine oil. Synthetic engine oil is favored by many car owners because of its good wear resistance and stable stickiness, but are all cars suitable for all synthetic engine oil? The answer is no, for most cars, all synthetic engine oil is a good choice, but its thin oil film is not suitable for old cars with serious wear and tear, or economic models with insufficient engine processing accuracy, because the gap between engine parts of these two types of cars is usually large, and the thin oil film of full synthetic oil can not play a good role in lubrication, resulting in unnecessary wear, resulting in the situation that the anti-wear effect is not as good as that of mineral oil. Therefore, although "flour and rice" is delicious, it may not fill your stomach. Not all cars in synthetic engine oil are suitable.

Grasp the general trend of international trade development and accelerate the construction of a strong trade country

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out in the Party’s Report to the 20th CPC National Congress: "Promote the optimization and upgrading of goods trade, innovate the development mechanism of service trade, develop digital trade, and accelerate the construction of a trade power." With the development of global economic integration, the penetration of digital technology into trade, the rise of developing countries and the popularization of high-standard international economic and trade rules, international trade has shown a new trend of generalization, digitalization, greening, integration, service, re-globalization and security. Standing at the new starting point of the development of human society in the digital age and facing the new goal of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way, the construction of a trade power should fully understand and grasp the general trend of international trade development, make precise policies on the new track of international trade competition, and strive to enhance the innovation, competitiveness, radiation, influence and security of China’s trade.

  First, grasp the general trend of universal development of international trade subjects, optimize the business environment of enterprises, and establish a cooperation platform for large, medium and small enterprises

  In recent years, with the deepening of the division of global value chain and the penetration of digital technology into trade, small and medium-sized enterprises have entered the international market by participating in the division of global value chain and cross-border electronic commerce, becoming a new force in international trade, and the main body of international trade has shown a new trend of universal development.

  An important symbol of a trading power is that trade has great radiation and influence on economic growth, people’s well-being and employment. The participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in cross-border electronic commerce and global value chains is conducive to meeting diversified international demands, encouraging enterprises to innovate, improving enterprise productivity and income, expanding employment and achieving inclusive growth. At present, private enterprises have accounted for half of China’s foreign trade import and export. In 2022, private enterprises accounted for 50.9% of the total import and export value and contributed 80.8% to foreign trade growth. Grasping the general trend of general development of trade subjects and enhancing the radiation and influence of China’s foreign trade, we should optimize the business environment of enterprises, fully implement the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Development and Growth of Private Economy, optimize the development environment of private economy, increase policy support for private economy, accelerate the cultivation of foreign trade business subjects, and strive to promote the high-quality development of private economy; It is necessary to establish a cooperation platform for large, medium and small enterprises, provide a public trading platform, an innovation platform and an industrial chain and supply chain cooperation platform for small and medium enterprises, enhance the digitalization, innovation and management capabilities of small and medium enterprises, promote small and medium enterprises to expand direct exports through cross-border e-commerce, and drive small and medium enterprises to participate in the global value chain by providing intermediate products for large enterprises, expand indirect exports and create jobs; It is necessary to strengthen international cooperation, attach great importance to SME clauses in bilateral, regional and cross-regional trade negotiations, reduce non-tariff barriers affecting the export of SMEs, and promote international cooperation and market development of SMEs.

  Second, grasp the digital and green development trend of international trade objects, deepen international trade innovation, and promote the digital and green transformation of trade.

  Digital technology has changed the trade object, trade mode and trade scale, purchased products and services by digital ordering and digital delivery, and promoted the development of digital trade. Since 2005, the export of digital delivery services has more than tripled, far exceeding the growth rate of trade in goods and other services. In 2019, global e-commerce sales jumped to 26.7 trillion US dollars, equivalent to 30% of the global GDP. At the same time, the higher greenhouse gas emissions caused by the production, transportation, distribution and consumption of traded products have spawned new low-carbon trade regulations such as carbon tariffs, carbon labels, carbon certification and carbon footprints, and also promoted the development of green trade with environmental products and services as trading objects. According to World Trade Organization data, as of 2018, carbon dioxide emissions related to international exports of goods and services accounted for 30% of global carbon emissions. Countries seize the new track of digital economy development, meet the new challenges of climate change, and promote sustainable economic development. Digitalization and greening of international trade objects have become the new trend of international trade development in the future.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that in today’s era, digital technology and digital economy are the opportunities for the world’s scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and they are the key areas of a new round of international competition. We must seize the opportunities and seize the commanding heights of future development. Innovation is the key to building a powerful trading country, and innovation determines the competitiveness and influence of international trade. To occupy the commanding heights of international trade competition in the future, China should focus on deepening international trade innovation. To reshape the digital supply chain as the core and promote the digital transformation of trade, we should formulate trade and investment policies aimed at promoting technological innovation of enterprises and cultivate innovative subjects; Around the establishment of a new digital supply chain ecosystem, promote the digital transformation of traditional foreign trade enterprises and service enterprises; Use digital tools to promote the innovation of supervision mode, establish a digital public service platform through internet plus’s supervision, promote cross-departmental, cross-level and cross-regional collaborative supervision, and form a multi-governance system with the participation of government, platform, enterprises, industry organizations and the public. We should improve the green trade system, accelerate the green transformation, coordinate technology policy, trade policy, investment policy, environmental policy and ecological security policy, establish a green trade statistics system, a green low-carbon trade standard and certification system, and an ecological environment risk prevention mechanism to improve the green trade system; Reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers to environmental products and services and expand imports of environmental technologies and services. Strengthen international cooperation and actively participate in the negotiation of global digital trade and green trade rules. As a big digital trade country, China should strengthen multi-level international cooperation and benchmark the new rules of the World Trade Organization.Timely revision and improvement of laws that adapt to the development of digital economy and society; Accelerate the negotiation of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement, and expand international cooperation in the digital economy under the framework of regional and cross-regional trade agreements. As a big green trade country, China should actively set issues in multilateral trade negotiations and actively participate in the formulation of international rules, standards and management of green trade; Give priority to the inclusion of environmental provisions in bilateral and regional trade and investment negotiations and reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers; Create a professional platform for international cooperation in green trade development and promote international transactions in green technologies, products and services.

  Third, grasp the general trend of service-oriented development of international trade structure, promote industrial integration and development, and enhance international competitiveness with digital empowerment and high-level opening up.

  For a long time, the proportion of service trade in international trade has remained above 20%. In recent years, the development of digital technology has broken through the restriction of non-tradable services. With the liberalization of global service trade, the growth rate of service trade exceeds that of goods trade. The World Trade Organization predicts that according to the traditional trade statistics, the proportion of service trade in international trade will increase from 18% in 1995 to 25% in 2030, and it may reach 30% in 2040. According to the added value statistics, the added value of services in international trade in goods and services accounts for nearly half. Service-oriented international trade structure will become the general trend of trade development.

  The essence of a trading power is that the industry has strong international competitiveness. Service industry and service trade are the shortcomings of China’s economic development. In 2022, service trade accounted for 12.3% of China’s total foreign trade, far below the world average (21.1%). The service trade has a long-term deficit, and the international competitiveness of most industries is weak. The management system and mechanism of service trade need to be improved urgently, which has become an obstacle to the construction of a strong trading country. To enhance the international competitiveness of China’s service trade, we should strengthen the new understanding of service value-added, promote the integrated development of service trade with modern service industry, high-end manufacturing industry and modern agriculture, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure and enhance trade income; It is necessary to expand the service industry’s opening to the outside world, seize the development opportunity of global service trade liberalization, steadily expand the institutional opening to international economic and trade rules, improve the negative list management system of cross-border service trade, expand the opening to the outside world of telecommunications, tourism, law, vocational examinations and other service fields, and attract high-end service elements to gather in China; It is necessary to promote digital transformation, seize the new opportunity of service tradeability brought by digital globalization, accelerate the transformation of production relations adapted to the development of digital technology, promote institutional innovation around digital transformation, establish and improve the legal system, facilitation system and supervision system to promote the development of service trade, accelerate the cultivation of new digital kinetic energy of service trade, and realize the leap-forward development of service trade.

  Fourth, grasp the general trend of the re-globalization of the international trade market structure, build the "Belt and Road" with high quality, and build a global development community.

  After World War II, developed countries dominated the international market for a long time with their unique technological advantages, industrial advantages and monopoly advantages. Since the 1980s, developing countries, represented by China, have risen in groups. The proportion of developing economies in world output has increased from 24% to over 40%, from less than 1/3 to nearly 1/2 of the total trade in goods, and from 1/4 to 1/3 of the total trade in services. In the past decade, the contribution rate of BRICS countries to world economic growth has exceeded 50%, making it an important engine of world economic growth. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that in today’s world, people of all countries are a community of shared destiny, and markets, funds, resources, information and talents are highly globalized. Only when the world develops can countries develop; Only when countries develop can the world develop. At present, the BRICS countries have expanded from five to eleven countries, and the African Union has joined the G20 to build the Belt and Road Initiative for ten years, which has attracted more than three-quarters of countries and 32 international organizations. The group rise of developing countries will continue to be a force to promote world economic growth. The World Trade Organization predicts that by 2040, the share of developing countries in service trade will increase from 35% to nearly 40%, and its share in total trade will exceed 50%. Unilateralism, hegemonism and protectionism cannot stop the trend of globalization, and the re-globalization of the international trade market structure is unstoppable.

  An important symbol of a trading power is that a country’s trade has great radiation and influence on world economic growth, sustainable development and employment. Grasp the general trend of the re-globalization of the international trade market structure, build a global development community, and enhance the radiation and influence of China’s trade. We should speed up the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, practice global development initiatives, focus on key areas such as green development, new industrialization, and digital economy, strengthen cooperation in poverty alleviation, education, and health, build a global development community, and create a development pattern of balanced benefits, coordination, tolerance, win-win cooperation, and common prosperity; It is necessary to jointly build the "Belt and Road" with high quality, aim at high standards, sustainability and benefiting people’s lives, adhere to the direction of high-quality and high-standard cooperation, and take poverty alleviation, food security, education and health, development financing, green development, industrialization, digital economy and interconnection as key areas of cooperation, so that developing countries can better integrate into the international division of labor, share the fruits of economic globalization, and strive to achieve a higher level of cooperation and higher input efficiency. It is necessary to strengthen South-South cooperation, give full play to the role of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, an important platform for South-South cooperation, implement the outcome of the 2023 China-Africa Leaders’ Dialogue, practice the Initiative of Supporting Africa’s Industrialization, steadily implement the China Plan for Helping Africa’s Agricultural Modernization and the China-Africa Cooperation Plan for Talent Training, promote Africa’s integration and modernization, and realize the common prosperity and sustainable development of the Chinese and African people.

  5. Grasp the general trend of universal development of high-standard international economic and trade rules, and comprehensively deepen reform and expand opening up to high-standard international economic and trade rules.

  Regional and cross-regional negotiations such as the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement have reconstructed high-standard international economic and trade rules, triggering the domestication of international economic and trade rules; The negative list management of service trade has entered the trans-regional partnership agreements such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement from the regional trade agreement of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, which has led to the trans-regional economic and trade rules. The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement is by far the largest free trade agreement in the world, with its total population, economic scale and total trade volume accounting for 1/3 of the global total. The Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement involves a population of more than 500 million. After Britain’s accession, the trade scale exceeds that of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, affecting Eurasia, and the trend of universality of high-standard international economic and trade rules is taking shape.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that we should focus on promoting high-level opening to the outside world, continue to comprehensively deepen reform, and steadily expand institutional opening such as rules, regulations, management and standards. International economic and trade rules determine the content and scale of trade, the competitiveness, radiation and influence of trade and the future of trade. In order to conform to the general trend of the universality of contemporary high-standard international economic and trade rules and enhance the competitiveness, radiation and influence of China’s foreign trade, it is necessary to raise the standard international economic and trade rules, promote reform by opening up to the outside world, seize the development opportunity of domestication of international economic and trade rules, deepen reform in an all-round way, and give play to the driving force of trade on domestic economic reform, the traction of economic growth and the radiation of sustainable development; We should participate in the negotiation of high-standard international economic and trade rules, promote cooperation through openness, enhance the international competitiveness of China’s foreign trade in a wider range, in a wider field and in a deeper level of international cooperation, give play to the traction of China’s economy on the world economy in the linkage with the global economy, and enhance the radiation and influence of China’s foreign trade.

  Six, grasp the development trend of international trade environment security, strengthen international cooperation, establish and improve the international trade security system.

  The impact of external shocks such as Sino-US trade friction, COVID-19 epidemic and Ukrainian crisis on international trade has aroused great concern of the international community on trade security. In order to maintain the global hegemonic position and ensure economic security, the United States, based on western democratic values, forced the implementation of friendly shore outsourcing, offshore outsourcing, decoupling and breaking the chain, and reshaped the global value chain; The European Commission issued the European Economic Security Strategy, and formulated a policy framework to safeguard the EU’s economic security, to guard against supply chain and energy security risks, key infrastructure and network security risks, and technology leakage risks. Japan adopted the Law on Promoting Economic Security to strengthen the security of key products and important materials supply chain and strengthen the review of key infrastructure. Industrial chain supply chain security, data security, food security, energy security, science and technology security, financial security, biological security, the unprecedented changes in a hundred years have accelerated the evolution of the new trade environment, ensuring trade security has become the general trend of global trade development.

  The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that we should make overall plans for development and security, pay equal attention to development and security, and realize the benign interaction between high-quality development and high-level security. Trade security is the foundation and premise of building a strong trading country, and a strong trading country must first be safe. To cope with the changes in the external trade security environment and comprehensively enhance the security of China’s foreign trade, we must accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, realize the security and controllability of key industries, infrastructure, strategic resources, major science and technology, and firmly grasp the strategic initiative of coordinating national development and security in our own hands; It is necessary to improve the international trade security system, strengthen the trade security risk early warning, prevention and control mechanism and capacity building, improve the modern export control system, industrial injury early warning system and foreign investment national security review system, strengthen the protection of overseas interests and risk early warning, safe and efficient trade risk management, and establish a trade security governance system with supply chain security as the core; It is necessary to strengthen international cooperation, give full play to the important role of international trade in maintaining peace and security, safeguard the authority of the rules-based multilateral trading system, strengthen regional and cross-regional cooperation, resist the risks that may be brought about by trade concentration through trade diversification, and promote world peace and development through open cooperation and interconnection.

Data of net articles in the first quarter: 300,000 new writers were added, and more than 13,000 net articles were created by Hubei people.

In the first quarter of 2020, the "home life" without going out disrupted the normal life rhythm of Chinese people and brought more opportunities and challenges to the online entertainment industry.

On April 20th, Yuewen Group, an online literature platform, released a national report on the production and consumption of online literature in the first quarter. According to the data, more than 300,000 people chose to become online writers in the first quarter and produced more than 500,000 online literary works. Among them, the number of new authors in Hubei ranks sixth in the country for the first time. During the "city closure" period, Hubei people wrote more than 13,000 online works.

Hubei author’s works are growing rapidly, and short content is the first choice for testing water.

It is reported that in the first quarter of 2020, the number of new authors on the platform was 330,000, an increase of 129% from the previous month; Among them, people in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan and Sichuan love online writing, while Hubei Province ranks among the Top6 for the first time, and the enthusiasm of local people for online writing is unprecedented.

A large number of new authors poured into the platform, which directly promoted the further diversification of content creation. Yuewen Group said that the number of new works in the first quarter exceeded 520,000, an increase of about 1.5 times year-on-year. Fantasy is still the "good heart" of most writers. However, "short content" has also shown a rapid rise, with the number of "short stories" increasing by nearly five times year-on-year. In the first quarter, the two themes of "short stories" and "light stories" which were small in the past climbed to the second and fourth respectively.

The data shows that young users are the most creative, and writers under the age of 30 account for more than 70%. Combined with popular creative works, it is not difficult to see that most new authors were not professional authors before, short and pithy content became the first choice for testing water, and the online text industry has become an important income-generating channel for "slash youth".

In Hubei, which has attracted much attention, writing by homebodies has become an important way for Hubei people to entertain themselves and seek a second income. The number of new authors has also shown a rapid growth trend, and it ranked sixth for the first time in the ranking of new authors in the first quarter of this year. According to the data of Reading Group, during the period of "closing the city", the number of authors in Hubei increased by nearly 10,000, and the total number of new works in Hubei exceeded 13,000, an increase of 170% from the previous month, far higher than the national average. Similarly, in terms of creative themes, the theme of "short stories" is also the first choice for new authors in Hubei.

Both old and new websites are favored, and writers and netizens chat while watching them.

"Can write and love to read", the number of platform users and the average usage time of the Reading Group in the first quarter have increased to varying degrees. Among them, the number of users in Hubei increased by 28% year-on-year, and the reading time of users increased by 43%.

In terms of popular content, warm, humorous and realistic online articles have become the reading trend, which also shows the enthusiasm and optimism of the people all over the country in the face of the epidemic. During the period, Madam, your waistcoat has dropped again, which was annoying by platinum writers of Reading Group, became the favorite work of the most users. In 2019, the western fantasy work "The Lord of Secrets" broke many reading records at the starting point, followed closely, and the popular Xian Xia male frequency online article "My brother is too steady" ranked third.

The long-term value of IP content of some classic websites is further highlighted. Taking Joy of Life as an example, with the popularity of scriptwriting at the end of 2019, the popularity of original works continues to rise, and the total reading time of users in the first quarter ranks second in the whole station. This website that has been completed for more than 10 years is still loved and sought after by the public.

In addition, the trend of "spitting while watching" and "social comment by paragraphs" is more and more obvious among this group of readers. In the first quarter, the number of new comments on the platform works of Yuewen exceeded 50 million, up 62% from the previous month, and the text barrage "social comment by paragraphs" became the favorite social tool for young users, with the number of new comments exceeding 35 million. Spitting, urging and making suggestions, readers’ "brain holes" have also become an important source of inspiration for the author.

British authorities report: China has become a global supply chain center.

  A report released by the British market research organization Marquette recently pointed out that China, while continuing to be a purchasing destination, "is no longer the target country for low-cost outsourcing business", but "has become the center of global supply chain". This has changed the long-standing impression of China as a "world factory".

  China, which controls a larger part of the global supply chain, is transforming the global trade model.

  "As the world’s second economy after the United States, China imported a large number of raw materials and parts from aluminum to microchips, and processed them into finished products such as Apple mobile phones and george foreman baking ovens for sale to the world." The American Wall Street Journal reported that over the years, this kind of import and export has promoted the prosperity and development of global trade, making China one of the most important export destinations. Today, China, which controls a larger part of the global supply chain, is transforming the global trade pattern.

  The report named "Global Purchasing Survey Trends" by Marquette Company is an annual survey for global purchasing activities and purchasing supervisors, aiming at evaluating the global risk environment and purchasing trends, which is highly authoritative, convincing and practical in the industry. The report points out that China’s role in the global supply chain continues to grow, and it has surpassed the "traditional role" of low-cost suppliers.

  The Independent commented that when people talk about China for a long time, it always seems that representative pictures such as "the factory of the world" come to mind. In fact, people can draw a conclusion from the report of Market Company that such a connection is "no longer correct and appropriate".

  For many reasons such as cost, for many years, large global enterprises have been increasing the share of manufacturing business in China, making use of China’s competitive labor price advantage to earn greater commercial value and seek more value-added space. However, with the continuous rise of China’s comprehensive national strength and the continuous improvement of people’s living standards, China’s labor wage level continues to rise, which objectively reduces China’s original attraction to cost-sensitive enterprises, and China’s traditional advantage of low labor cost is becoming weaker and weaker.

  According to the data released by the International Labour Organization, the average wage of China residents has doubled compared with 2006. Qi Wenli, head of global theme research at Standard Chartered Bank, regards the rising wage level of manufacturing labor in China as a "subversive trend".

  Roberts, a professor in the Department of International Trade at Westminster Business School in Britain, "fully recognized" the report of Marquette Company. In an interview with this reporter, he said that the outside world should re-evaluate China, correct the old concept of China formed before, and re-evaluate and examine China’s role orientation and important role in the global supply chain and industrial chain. According to Roberts, China, once a "world factory", is moving forward in the global supply chain and industrial chain.

  The transformation and upgrading of traditional industries in China provide new market opportunities for domestic and foreign investors.

  According to the report of Market Company, in fact, the supporting evidence of China as a low-cost procurement destination is decreasing. Paul robinson, an economist at Marquette, pointed out that the proportion of respondents who thought China was a low-cost purchasing destination was below 50% for the first time in 2016, which was significantly lower than 70% in 2012.

  The Financial Times reported that intermediate products and services from different places enter the finished product production through the global supply chain, which accounts for nearly 80% of global trade, including about $12 trillion in intermediate products and services trade. "It has begun to change the world". A study previously published by Standard Chartered Bank said that in the next 10 years, the change in the nature of global supply chain will reshape the global trade pattern. As the largest source of global supply chain, China will divest a large part of low-cost manufacturing.

  In Qi Wenli’s view, ASEAN and India are likely to benefit from this low-cost manufacturing migration, and Bangladesh and Africa will also get a share. China has regained the space for infrastructure construction, and at the same time, it has become a supplier of equipment and equipment for ASEAN and other economies. Qi Wenli believes that this transformation will obviously enhance the position of emerging market economies such as China in the global supply chain of manufacturing and service industries and consolidate their export strength. In fact, the share of emerging market economies such as China in global exports is already higher than that of developed economies.

  China has top-class infrastructure, skilled labor force and factories that thrive on technological innovation. All along, they have been deeply embedded in the huge supply chain of "Asian factory", which can smoothly assemble parts and raw materials from all over the world and make rapid adjustments according to the unpredictable tastes of global consumers. Blanchard, a senior researcher at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in the United States, made no secret that the global supply chain is mainly concentrated in China. If an American factory withdraws from China, it may lead to the collapse of the whole supply chain, which will be disastrous for American enterprises.

  Now, China is implementing an innovation-driven development strategy to promote mass entrepreneurship and innovation. The development of the new economy has brought new hopes, opportunities and vitality, created a large number of jobs, revitalized some excess capacity and idle assets, transformed and upgraded traditional industries, and provided new market opportunities for domestic and foreign investors. In a report released in 2016, the Boston Consulting Group analyzed that China, as the manufacturing center of the world, the new technology of Industry 4.0, represented by cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, will become the key to improve the efficiency of manufacturing industry.

On Taiwan Province’s Coffee House: Elite and Anti-elitism of Literary Coffee

    Special feature of 1905 film network Recently, Taiwan Province’s new film was released in China, squeezed between the hot Hollywood hero film and the remaining Yu Wei, and there was not much ostentation and extravagance. In recent years, Taiwan Province movies are always jumping up hard, but they have always been dull.[Click to view "Is Taiwan Province Film Revival?" Exclusive analysis]This time, it seems to be a fresh literary romantic film from the propaganda point of view, but it will still be moved by the director’s many delicate thoughts after watching it. The most conspicuous point is that it imitates the joking elements of the film, and the post-modernist nonsense funny paragraphs are aggravated. Even the coffee shop that should have been carrying the elite cultural logo has been dissolved into a funny place of "grounding gas", which is quite interesting.

    Taiwan Province’s films should be the most capable of bearing the word "literature and art" in all Chinese films, so the "logo" with a strong flavor of western culture appears most frequently in Taiwan Province films. In the commemoration, Zhao, the bookstore owner who has an ambiguous relationship with the heroine Yoko, loves coffee, not only going to the coffee shop, but also calling coffee takeout to the bookstore to enjoy; Starring in the story of the owner and frequent customers of the coffee shop with the flower cafe as the main scene; In the paragraph of "dreaming the opposite dream", spoony Spancer dances in the coffee shop; In the last scene of the film, the blind pianist Yu Xiang and Xiao Jie meet in Leisure Cafe, which is particularly brilliant. Taiwan Province’s romantic films, such as,, etc., can all see the scene of a coffee shop with literary atmosphere wandering around.

Goats discover that coffee originated from mysterious French writers and artists, helping to label elites.

    The origin and development of coffee itself is shrouded in mystery. It is said that the goat found coffee. A long time ago, in the Ethiopian plateau, an Arab teenager found that sheep would behave strangely after eating red berries on the tree while herding sheep, so he boldly tried it, and as a result, he became as crazy as a sheep. After seeing this phenomenon, the priest on the roadside met the dream of the god Allah Tuo that night and asked him to collect these berries for everyone to drink, because Allah didn’t want to listen to prayer and become a pile of snoring. Soon this berry drink spread widely and gradually became the later coffee. Coffee was once called the devil’s thing, but later even Pope Clement VIII was impressed by the charm of coffee, and "being baptized for coffee" made its spread in Europe more barrier-free. The first commercial coffee shop in the world was born in Istanbul, Turkey in 1554, but it didn’t appear in major European cities until after the 17th century.

    In France, drinking coffee has become a symbol of high society since Louis XIV. Just as those trackers and porters will gulp down beer after finishing their work to help vent their emotions and sleep, mental workers can not only refresh their minds but also stimulate their creativity, which is probably why street cafes have become the love of literary and artistic masters since they became popular. Hugo, Balzac, Voltaire, Renoir and Braque, the great writers, often gathered in the coffee house in Montmartre, Paris, and the coffee house soon became a place for countless free thinkers to create and communicate passionately. Almost all modern arts were filled with the fragrance of coffee. Perhaps it was from that time that the coffee house endorsed the leisure time of intellectuals and put on a hazy aura of elites for itself.

Taiwan’s new film copying coffee house is strongly influenced by the new wave of French movies.

    Cafe soon became a symbol everywhere in Europe, and even the birth of movies could not be separated from coffee. It was in the "Big Cafe" in Paris that the Lumiere brothers in the French first screened "The Train Arrived" with their own projection camera, which opened a new chapter in human art. In the French New Wave period, in Ge Daer’s "",Michelle robbed in a coffee shop and asked friends to help cash a check in an open-air coffee shop. In Emmanuel Riva and the coffee shop standing by the water opened their hearts; Shortly after the opening ceremony, Anne and her brother Pierre met at a roadside cafe, and coffee shops are everywhere.

    Influenced by the new wave and influenced by foreign films, Asian filmmakers have gradually noticed the details of western-style life. At that time, movies were called "three-hall movies", which were living rooms, cafes and restaurants. In the 1970s, Taiwan Province filmmakers seemed to pursue generate’s artistry overnight. They bought French films to feel the "new wave" in a small screening hall, and then learned to absorb the essence of the "Big Three" of French, New Hollywood and Japanese literary films to form a "new film" with a strong student accent in the early 1980s. At this time, coffee houses began to emerge in large numbers both in these "new movies" in Taiwan Province and in real life.

    In The Daughter of the Nile in 1988, young people in Taipei were drinking coffee to present a "sense of city". By 1996, the gang of four met Matera, a girl who came to Taipei from France to find a boyfriend, in a hard rock coffee shop. Li Adi and his ex-girlfriend talked about financial and emotional matters in the eslite cafe coffee chain store. In real life, the writers of the "new movie", Hou Hsiao-hsien, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Hou Hsiao-hsien are all frequent visitors to the cafe. They often hang out in the "Star" cafe in Wuchang Street, which was established in the 38th year of the Republic of China and has been passed down for a long time.

    Director Taiwan Province is also deeply influenced by coffee. He once gave a lecture entitled "Film Creation and Coffee Philosophy". Cai Mingliang was born and raised in Malaysia since he was a child. Because Malaysia was once a colony and many customs were westernized, coffee was very popular there. He mentioned in the lecture that when he was at school, "he rushed to a big pot of coffee and took it to school." The coffee culture had an important influence on him, and he made a vivid contrast between making coffee and making movies. The coffee shop he runs provides first-class raw materials for guests to make their own coffee, just like the few lines and long shots in his movies, which are interpreted by actors and audiences themselves.

Two wonderful uses of coffee house in Taiwan Province’s movies: meeting love and recalling memories.

    The "coffee house" of Taiwan Province’s films plays an important role besides dividing the literary identity.

    First of all, the hero can always meet love. In "Waiting for a Coffee", Senior Alto and Siying formally met in the coffee shop and were tied by the "angel". This coffee shop also carries a sad love story played by the proprietress. The second and third stories are also closely related to the coffee shop. U met a controlling female editor lover in "Mushroom Coffee" and ended this so-called "love" there after all. After the infatuated Spancer married his girlfriend Summer, he frantically learned to dance in the closed coffee shop, and the scene was moving under the light and shadow. In Hou Hsiao-hsien’s film, although Yoko and the bookstore owner often appear together in bookstores instead of cafes, the bookstore owner Zhao’s passion for coffee runs through the whole film. He not only likes to drink coffee in cafes, but also orders take-away coffee to be delivered to his bookstore. Yoko also often looks for information about the composer Jiang Wenye in the coffee shop.

    Moreover, coffee is easy to stir up deep memories. Hou Xiaoxian said: "Sitting in a coffee shop is like taking a train, swaying and swaying. With that kind of steady rhythm, people will fall asleep easily, and many images will emerge." Vivian Chow in "Waiting for a Coffee" has been waiting for someone to bring up the "proprietress special tune" specially made for her by her dead boyfriend. This waiting is not only for the taste, but also for memory. Although it is absurd to let go of this stalk after drinking coffee for many years. After "those years", Curten was writing a novel in the coffee shop, and we could see the creative picture of the author behind him through this picture. In Close at Hand, Chi Shanshan flicked the memory of Chen Jiaxiang who lost his memory in the coffee shop, which even made him faint on the spot when his old injury recurred.

Anti-elite antics "Waiting for a Person’s Coffee" finally hit the nail on the head.

    In recent years, from Waiting for Coffee, many people in Taiwan Province have complained that Taiwan Province presented in these films is not the real Taiwan Province, but a fresh literary tone deliberately created to cater to everyone’s imagination. These literary shells lack Taiwan Province’s profound humanistic customs and warmth of life. "The 36th Story" is really too fresh to lose the details of life, but "Waiting for a Coffee" still has its grounded side, which is quite grassroots and nonsense. Arbus, a barista who claims to be able to meet all customers’ needs, carefully mixes all kinds of delicious coffee, and at the same time, he also adds beer, eggs and even cockroaches to tease eccentric customers, and even arranges a tidbit at the end of the movie to tease the stalks of the little dragon girl and steamed buns earlier. This kind of banter technique achieves the effect of grounding the gas by dispelling the height of western-style cultural elites represented by coffee.

    Extending, the "hero" figure represented by Senior Alto is also a typical example of dispelling elite culture. In the film, it is constantly emphasized that he is a "perverted" ordinary person, but ordinary people are also great heroes. In the end, he even played an iron fist and "grasping the knife with one hand" for dear Siyu, fighting off the underworld and becoming a "campus legend". Including the setting of ugly girl in "Tietoushe", the roommate of Siying, the violent brother and aunt Jin Dao in the seafood shop, and the sausage and tofu pudding taken out from behind the head, all of which are Taiwan Province’s characteristic designs that are not unusual. Although "Waiting for a Person’s Coffee" is still boasting a small and fresh literary love route in marketing, it will be thought to be an "elite" love story by looking at the title, but compared with the boring and pure and fresh "literature and art to death" in "The 36th Story", "Waiting for a Person’s Coffee" is still a rebellious joke against the elite culture and an exaggerated and absurd way to create a story closer to the actual Taiwan Province customs and local flavor.

Mobile finally supports online sales! But there’s a lot of holes …

Have you noticed that there has been a lot of good news from operators recently?

It is also a port number transfer network, and it is also vying to get on VoLTE.

One of them, Xiao Lei, has been waiting for a long time-the mobile phone number supports remote account cancellation.

This policy not only saves time but also saves money. (After all, the trip home can cover your phone bill for several years.)

Yes, you heard me right.

From January 1st this year, all three major operators can cancel their accounts in different places.

Xiaolei wants to praise Unicom most, and he went online to cancel his account early, so we don’t have to run the business hall again.

As for mobile telecommunications, it is a little more difficult.

Last week, Mobile began to pilot online account cancellation. But if you open China Mobile App, you probably can’t find the account cancellation entrance, because it is only limited to Shaanxi Mobile number for the time being.

Mobile number and telecom users in other areas can only go to the business hall to handle it.

(account cancellation entrance: China mobile App→ classification → life → online sales number)

Lei doesn’t know when it will be open to the whole country. Before that, mobile phone users should take a look at the preparations first …

Method for cancel number of mobile telecommunication in different places

Listen, to cancel the number in the business hall, you need:

I bring my ID card and service password and go to the designated business hall to handle it.

Not all business halls can do it.

Take Guangzhou, where Xiaolei is located, as an example. Only the business hall can close the account in different places.

(An authorized agency like this won’t do)

So before you go, be sure to call 10086/10000 to find out which business halls can do it.

But, you can’t just cancel it if you go.

Your mobile phone number cannot have the following conditions:

Arrears;
Have a contract;
It is bound with services such as family number and broadband.

Only one situation:

At the time of inquiry, Xiao Lei found a secret, and the method of canceling the account between Mobile GSM and M-Zone Shenzhouxing was actually different.

The customer service explained this to me:

You must go to the business hall to make an appointment to cancel your account. If you don’t pay for the next 90 days, you will automatically sell the number;
And Shenzhouxing and M-Zone will automatically cancel the number if the arrears exceed 90 days.

You don’t pay your phone bill for 90 days. How can there be such a big difference?

Under the coercion of Xiao Lei, the customer service told Xiao Lei:

Because GSM is prepaid, arrears will affect credit, so you have to make an appointment to cancel your account;
However, Shenzhouxing and M-Zone are post-paid, and how much is charged, even if the arrears are directly thrown away, it will not affect the credit.

In other words, Shenzhouxing and M-Zone don’t have to go to the business hall to close their accounts.

Fortunately, little ray asked, and saved you another thing?

In a word, Xiao Lei suggests that you call 10086/10000, where you belong, to find out your account cancellation conditions, so as not to make a trip in vain.

If there is a Shaanxi mobile phone friend who is reading this article, the account cancellation process on the mobile App is similar to that of China Unicom, and Xiao Lei said it together.

Unicom remote number cancellation method

Xiao Lei cancelled a Unicom number in January.

The entrance is easy to find:

"Mobile phone business hall App → service → handling → account cancellation"

First of all, we have to go through the triple verification of "SMS verification code+uploading ID photo+face recognition". The ID card must be taken now, and photos in the photo album cannot be used.

I can’t help it. I have to prevent others from maliciously canceling your number.

At this time, China Unicom will remind you that the phone bill should not be less than 50 yuan, otherwise it may not be possible to cancel the account ~ (Mobile can cancel online as long as it does not owe money at that time)

In order to close the account successfully, Xiao Lei gritted his teeth and charged the phone bill again.

Of course, the extra money will be refunded to you.

It is only by transferring to the balance of another Unicom number in the same province.

For example, the number of Xiaolei Guangdong Unicom cannot be transferred to Jiangsu Unicom.

Just when I crossed my heart and thought I was done, huh? ? ? Unknown error. What the hell? !

Ray suddenly felt struck by lightning.

No way, find customer service! When I opened Unicom official website and found that there were only two people waiting in line, Lei was secretly pleased.

The problem is that miss customer service can’t solve the problems that Xiaolei encountered, and finally she just gave a complaint feedback link …

Just when Xiaolei was disheartened, ready to give up and went directly to the offline business hall to cancel the account, he suddenly had a flash of light and thought of the key to the problem: Unicom’s mobile phone card number is divided into 4G and 2 G and 3 G.

Generally, 4G numbers belong to China Unicom’s national system CBSS, while many 2 and 3G numbers still belong to local provinces and cities BSS. The two card systems are not connected, so naturally they cannot be transferred.

And the number I want to transfer to is the 3G card!

Sure enough, Xiao Lei changed the number to a colleague’s 4G card, and it was a success.

Almost a month later, the balance was directly charged to the number I filled in.

In addition, Unicom also provides a way that it likes very much-just don’t.

However, if you want cash, you can do it. You have to go to Unicom’s own business hall to cancel the number, and support bank card transfer to refund the balance.

It should be noted that the donation fee is non-refundable, and only the money that you recharge can be refunded.

In contrast, the refund of mobile telecom is very pit.

Lei asked the customer service:

At present, there is no uniform standard for telecommunications, and whether cash can be refunded depends on local policies;
Mobile can only transfer the balance to the mobile number of the same attribution, and cannot refund cash.

Although mobile tries to save the user churn rate by raising various thresholds.

But now there is a remote account cancellation+port number transfer, and it is not a simple matter of who we want to use.

I asked if you were afraid.

Wait a minute! Don’t go after reading the article!

Xiao Lei made a small questionnaire, which is related to you. Used to optimize the article and let you see more interesting content.
