1905 movie network news Directed by Fei Li and starring Zhao Bingrui, Lv Xiaolin, Yu Ailei, SiNi and Zhang You, the black absurd brain-burning comedy will land in the national cinema on May 25th to meet the audience. Since the screening of Destiny Express in major domestic film festivals, it has been supported by many well-known directors and stars in the industry, and its continuous good reputation has aroused expectations from all walks of life.

The movie "Express of Destiny" tells a "domino of destiny" that happened within 24 hours and was triggered by a debt of 100,000 yuan. Among them, the interlocking and fatalistic labyrinth narrative, seemingly absurd stories and amazing lines have a wonderful chemical reaction and are interpreted into a high-quality black humorous comedy.


 The first novel attracted Jiang Wen, Lou Ye and other young Fei Li talents to hide.

Nowadays, Fei Li, who often plays the roles of director, screenwriter and actor, is not from a regular background. Born in 1978, he worked as a designer before, and he can write novels in his spare time. Later, zuoxiao zuzhou, a friend who knew Fei Li’s talent thoroughly, persuaded him to write the story in his heart, and he began to embark on the road of film creation. In 2014, Fei Li was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Award in the 51st Golden Horse Award for his film The Intruder. The first attempt at the director’s "Express of Destiny" was to shine at a well-known film festival.


At the 9th FIRST Youth Film Festival, Destiny Express nominated four awards, including best feature film and best director. Jiang Wen was the chairman of the jury of the film festival that made Destiny Express deus ex, while Yan Geling, Bao Dexi, Dai Jinhua, Zhang zhen, Huo Tingxiao and Du Yuan were the judges. "Destiny Express" won the recognition of most review judges under the strict lineup of its "top-level brick-patting group". Zhang zhen and Bao Dexi paid attention to the actors’ performances. Zhang zhen said that "the actors’ self-contained performances are in harmony with the colorful life scenes in the film", while Bao Dexi said that "the film provided unforgettable performances". Director Lou Ye praised the subtlety of the film structure, saying that "the express delivery of fate is also a jigsaw puzzle of fate, and the destinies of small people are interconnected and spliced with each other, which seems to be watertight". Yan Geling, on the other hand, saw Fei Li’s super-high talent and amazing wisdom through her works. She said that "the talent of the author presented in Express of Destiny is a kind of wisdom beyond talent." . Jiang Wen even called it "the most exciting movie I have seen in recent years". Therefore, Fei Li became attached to Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen named Fei Li as the screenwriter of his new film "Evil Does Not Suppress Righteousness". Jiang Wen said: "The attention Li Fei has received is not worthy of his talent. I hope I can help him."


In addition to the FIRST Youth Film Festival, Fei Li’s "Express of Destiny" also gained a lot of praise. Cao Baoping, the director, lamented that "I hope Fei Li’s film creation can always be so free", while Andy Lau expressed great concern for the director himself, saying that "the author writes beautifully and shoots skillfully, which makes him feel comfortable as a screenwriter and director", so he specially met with Fei Li and revealed his intention for further cooperation. In addition to Andy Lau, who was amazed by the film, Zhou Yun, Summer Xu and Eddie Peng Yuyan, who are also actors, also expressed their high recognition of Fei Li after watching the film. Zhou Yun once said that "every actor’s performance is properly attached to their destiny", and Eddie Peng Yuyan even praised Fei Li’s talent. "The director proved to me that you can make amazing brain-burning comedies without convergence and following the trend." Summer Xu, on the other hand, directly booked many heroines of the next play from Fei Li. "This play once again showed me the great possibility of performing, and I hope to be the heroine of Fei Li next time."


In addition, zuoxiao zuzhou, who encouraged Fei Li to embark on the road of creation at the beginning, said after reading the film that "there are not many first novels that can keep me from urinating, but Fei Li’s" Express of Destiny "is definitely one of them."

"Humorous Comedy" May Dark Horse "Destiny Express" is full of cleverness.

After Crazy Stone, there are few movies with black humor in China. "Destiny Express" fills the gap in this theme. Similarly, it is a comedy with distinctive typology. Fei Li uses a multi-line narrative structure to pay tribute to "Pulp Fiction" and intertwine the mixed life of the protagonists overnight to form a tragicomedy. The sharp realistic dilemmas faced by the young people at the bottom are hidden under the appearance of characters, such as "whether love will start with face value, be obsessed with character, be defeated by material things and die of embarrassment", "Is the Dover Sect of the young people in Beipiao really peaceful or too tired" and "the hidden rule of entertainment circle: actors have to be directors if they want to play" … …


Although "Express of Destiny" is a film with distinctive typology and great commercial value, it actually costs only a few million, and Gu Changwei and other big names are also friends. And such a small-budget movie can break through in May and become a dark horse with a hot reputation. In the face of numerous favorable comments, director Li Fei was modest, saying that "many things are coincidences".


Golden sentences are frequently praised. Netizens call "my heart’s broken, old fellow."

With the film "Express of Destiny" being shown in the First Film Festival and the Shanghai Film Festival, fans’ favorable comments began to appear on various platforms. Netizen mustard green beans said, "It can be seen that the director’s aesthetic is high, and the actors’ performances are all wonderful. It is said that it took less than 3 million yuan. It is very good for domestic films to be made like this with so little money. Five stars encourage!" Douban netizen VInnncent left a message that "the whole journey without urine is too enjoyable", but it is more the voice that ordinary fans expect to see on the big screen.


Destiny Express tells the most real life with seemingly absurd stories. It is precisely because of this that Andy Lau said "this is a story that can happen anywhere" after watching the film. Use this to affirm the universality and realism of film values. In the movie, Zhou Xiaotie, a young debt collector from the north, speaks a local dialect, which is funny and full of golden sentences. For example, "I’ve been in Beijing for a day, and I’m tired" and "I don’t like impulsiveness now" have caused netizens to imitate, and some people even left a message "Every sentence hits the point. I have pierced my old iron! "


With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

Last week, a card friend left a message saying that he wanted to choose a car within the budget of 400,000-500,000 for long-distance green transportation. The transportation sections are mainly in South China and North China, and occasionally the southwest route is taken. The road conditions are more complicated. Because it is time-sensitive transportation, high horsepower is the first choice, and secondly, the configuration and comfort of the vehicle should be able to keep up, reducing the fatigue of long-distance driving. If it were you, what model would you recommend? I recommend the flagship KX with 600 horsepower (the manufacturer’s guide price is 450,000 yuan) and the flagship KX with 550 horsepower (the manufacturer’s guide price is 445,000 yuan). Who can be better as the "flagship model" PK of two cars and two cars? Let’s take a look at it next.

It’s a flagship product from No.2 Automobile Company, but a flagship product from faw liberation. The picture of "duel" between two cars seems deja vu. Yes, Dongfeng Tianlong and the liberation of J6 in those days were also a difficult thing for many users to choose. Up to now, domestic users have not chosen cars according to the region, but the products are selling well in all major regions of China.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

In terms of appearance, Tianlong flagship KX and Jiefang J7 are both "handsome", and the front of the car is tall, handsome and attractive, which is in line with international standards. The front face design of Tianlong flagship KX seems simple, but it is actually exquisite at close range. The large-area cooling holes in the bumper area provide a good cooling environment for high horsepower, and the top floor of the front boarding steps is above the headlights, which is excellent in practicality. The front face of Jiefang J7 adopts a family-style cooling grille design, which has obvious layering, making the front face of the vehicle more atmospheric and the overall design more recognizable.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

Both cars have adopted the design of integrated rearview mirror cover, and the integrated design shows better wind resistance coefficient for high-speed driving. In the details of rearview mirror cover, Tianlong’s flagship KX is made of black glossy material, which gives people a better feeling of exquisiteness than the ordinary plastic shell that liberated J7. In terms of rearview mirror configuration, the two cars remain flat, and both are equipped with electric adjustment and heating functions, which is practical enough.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

Today’s headlight design is even more fancy than that of passenger cars. The popular L-shaped design is adopted by Tianlong flagship KX, and the long and prominent LED strip is like a tusk. In terms of lighting, Tianlong flagship KX is equipped with a three-lens configuration, and the high and low beams and even fog lamps are equipped with lenses, which not only has strong aesthetics, but also improves the practicality and safety of driving at night.

The headlight design of Jiefang J7 matches the lines of the front face, which is as sharp as the "eagle eye". Compared with Tianlong flagship KX, its lighting configuration is slightly inferior, only supporting the Dan Toujing configuration, which is also the mainstream configuration in heavy trucks at present. However, the air guide slot is designed at the edge of the lamp group, which can not only improve the aerodynamic performance, but also reduce the probability of soil adhesion for the car body.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

In the heavy truck models in the range of 400,000-500,000, the active safety configuration of the two vehicles is relatively kind. The original vehicle supports "four-way image monitoring" to reduce the blind spots of the vehicles, and is equipped with lane keeping auxiliary system and warning device. While improving the comfort configuration, the active safety of the vehicle must not be forgotten. Both cars have done a great job.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

It is said that both cars are big. How big are they? Compared with the model of Tianlong flagship KX, the body size is 6990x2524x3960mm, and the chassis wheelbase is 3350+1350mm. The dimensions of Jiefang J7 are: 6915x2550x4000mm, and the wheelbase of the chassis is 3300+1350mm. In terms of size, the gap between the two cars is only a few centimeters, but the large-size cab means that the passability in and out of alleys, village roads and other sections is poor. In some transportation situations, only small vehicles can be requested for transshipment, and these big guys just concentrate on running on high-speed roads.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

All users should rest assured that the labels of face value, configuration and luxury will not be stingy when choosing heavy truck models in the range of 400,000-500,000, especially in domestic models, which will only be more luxurious, and the cab mainly pursues high-quality driving comfort. The design of the door panel is similar to that of the two cars. The color matching of black and brown first makes people feel a sense of luxury. Secondly, the audio speakers, chrome-plated materials and welcome lights on the door panel give users a textured experience. At the same time, the storage slot space on the door panel is not small, and it has both practicality and value.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

I believe everyone has their own answer when they take a look at the materials used for interior buttons. Basically, there are many similar exquisite button designs in the heavy trucks at this price, even in the 300,000-range heavy trucks, and the exquisite feeling is no longer unique to passenger cars. These large commercial vehicles have gradually paid attention to this piece, bringing better car experience to drivers and passengers. It is worthy of being a flagship model and satisfactory in configuration and workmanship.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

Seat airbag shock absorption is necessary. With the four-point airbag suspension shock absorption in the cab, the driver’s comfort has been greatly improved. Compared with the same price (the price difference is 5,000 yuan) in the model, the performance of the seat configuration of Tianlong flagship KX will be more kind, and it is equipped with ventilation and heating functions, which is indeed a very practical and pleasing configuration for the driver of long-distance transportation.

Compared with almost the same price (the price difference is 5,000 yuan), the seat configuration of Jiefang J7 is relatively disappointing. It is always a "good dish" to make a kind configuration. There are neither ventilated seats nor heated seats, so users who want to enjoy it later may have to install them themselves. (The J7 model is equipped with this configuration. Users who have requirements for configuration can look at the previous configuration model. )

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

The environmental performance of the driver’s seat of both cars is very good. The driver’s side is the central control button area, and there are some soft bags on the door panels. Tianlong’s flagship KX and Jiefang J7 both use four-position steering wheels, and their own logo designs are used for their shapes. As for which one they like, it’s really "radish and green vegetables have their own love". This link is really hard to comment on, because the steering wheel configuration and workmanship performance of the two cars are tied. On higher-profile models, there is also a leather steering wheel to choose from, which feels better.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

Where does the sense of science and technology come from? Looking directly at the driver’s dashboard can explain this very well. Both cars use the traditional pointer instrument+LCD display, which keeps the tradition and adds a lot of colors of science and technology. Among them, the color LCD display of Tianlong flagship KX is larger, and users who are interested in science and technology may prefer it. The LCD display is also quite rich, so the driver can fully grasp the dynamic situation of the vehicle.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

The original factory of the two cars is equipped with a central touch screen, which supports Bluetooth phones and music. In terms of comfort, the two cars are also provided with automatic constant temperature air conditioning, further improving the convenience of drivers. The buttons on the center console are designed, and the chrome-plated decoration used by Jiefang J7 will give people a more exquisite feeling. Moreover, Jiefang J7 puts the main and parking handles on the center console, which can make more space for the cab.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

The interior atmosphere of the two-car cab is two completely different styles. The main body of Tianlong flagship KX adopts black, brown and gray color matching, and the wooden decorative board runs through more than half of the center console, creating a luxurious and home atmosphere. In Jiefang J7, a large number of black and silver decorative boards are used as color matching, and the rest are influenced by beige. The overall atmosphere in the cab is mainly fashionable and home-oriented.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

As for the storage space in the cab, the performance of the two cars is uneven, which may make the J7 slightly better in the design of storage space. The design of the flat-floor cab of the two cars also makes the space in the cab quite spacious, so it is no problem to stand a 170cm adult man on the central platform.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

There is a slight difference in the height of the cab between the two cars. I don’t know if it is because of this reason that the top locker space of Jiefang J7 is much larger than that of Tianlong flagship KX, but the slight difference does not matter, mainly because the two cars have done a good job in this detail. The locker cover adopts hydraulic tappets, and there are lights inside, so that drivers can take and put things at night.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

It is recognized that it is good to have a large cab, that is, the interior space of the cab is spacious, and so is the sleeper space. For the actual use of long-distance transportation, the frequency of sleeper use is quite high, so it is very important to have a spacious and comfortable sleeper in this kind of transportation.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

In the pursuit of timeliness, high horsepower is a part, and small speed ratio is also a point to ensure that the engine power can play the best level when the vehicle runs at high speed.

The comparison model Tianlong flagship KX is equipped with a Z14NB600 inline six-cylinder engine, with a displacement of 13.48 liters, a maximum horsepower of 600 horsepower and a maximum torque of 2750 Nm, which is matched with the Dongfeng DT1428 DD fourteen-gear manual (matching).

The comparison model Jiefang J7 is equipped with a CA6DM3-55E52 inline six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 12.52 liters, a maximum horsepower of 550 horsepower and an engine torque of 2,600 Nm, which is matched with a faw liberation CA12TAX230M3 manual twelve-gear gearbox.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

Tianlong flagship KX adopts double 440 single-stage axles, and the rear axle speed ratio is 2.69. Take Kajia speed calculator as an example, when the vehicle has a total mass of 49 tons and the speed reaches the optimal economic speed of 96.9km/h at that time, the engine speed is only 1,100 rpm, which can be said to be excellent for fuel saving. The 465 rear axle was used to liberate J7, and the speed ratio was 3.417. Taking Kajia speed calculator as an example, when the total mass of the vehicle was 49 tons and the speed reached the optimal economic speed of 96.4km/h at that time, the engine speed was 1,300 rpm, which was considered as an optimal speed level with relatively low speed.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

Another point that long-distance transportation users pay attention to is the endurance of vehicles. The endurance of fuel vehicles is related to the capacity of fuel tanks, and it is certain that the larger fuel tanks can better meet users’ expectations of vehicle endurance. The comparison model Tianlong flagship KX adopts the design of 650+250L double fuel tanks, with a total fuel tank capacity of 900L. Jiefang J7 is designed with 500+500L double fuel tanks, with a total capacity of 1000L.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

In addition, in terms of chassis, both cars are designed with the trend of light weight, and the rims, air tanks and fuel tanks are all designed with lighter aluminum alloy and less leaf springs. In the comparison model, the whole vehicle adopts the leaf spring bearing shock absorption system, and the higher configuration model can choose the rear airbag shock absorption configuration.

With a budget of over 400,000 yuan, Tianlong flagship PK faw liberation J7.

The manufacturer’s guide price of the comparison model, Tianlong flagship KX, is 450,000 yuan (based on the local dealer’s price), and the manufacturer’s guide price of faw liberation J7 is 445,000 yuan (based on the local dealer’s price). As the flagship models of FAW and No.2 Automobile, the strength of the two cars is worthy of the title of "flagship". Do you think it is sure to import heavy trucks on a par with international standards in terms of design, configuration and power? Indeed, these two models are worthy of our pride. In just 10 or 20 years, we can really feel the progress and rapid development of our domestic heavy trucks from these two cars.

In this price range, are there any high-powered models recommended by card friends? Welcome to discuss it enthusiastically. Maybe you can see your favorite model in the next comparison. (Text: Kajiahao/Xiao Lu)

The United States sent more troops to the Middle East! Iran: New "Secret Weapons" Can Sink American Ships

  Cctv newsOn the 24th, the United States announced that it would send about 1,500 troops to the Middle East, mainly responsible for defense in response to the so-called "Iranian threat".

  In this regard, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif pointed out on the 25th that this move by the United States seriously threatened regional and even world peace and security.

  Zarif said in an interview with Iran’s official news agency on the same day that the U.S. troop increase is "extremely dangerous" for peace and security in the Middle East and even the whole world — — The decision made by the United States once again proves its hostile policy towards Iran and its intention to "further escalate the tension in the Gulf region".

  In addition, according to the Iranian Student News Agency No.25, Zarif reiterated in an interview with Reuters that it is impossible for the two countries to conduct diplomatic contacts under the current hostile atmosphere of the United States towards Iran.

  In an interview, Reuters mentioned that "Iran arrested two American naval vessels and 10 American sailors in the Gulf region in early 2016". It is said that after the incident, Kerry, then US Secretary of State, called Zarif, then Iranian Foreign Minister, and finally contributed to the release of the ten American sailors.

  In this regard, Zarif said that the current situation is very different from that of that year. The current US Secretary of State Pompeo is extremely unfriendly to Iran. "Every time I talk about Iran, there will be insulting words" — — Zarif said that he would not talk on the phone or deal with such people.

  Faced with the "extreme pressure" from the United States, the Iranian government has recently made every effort to strengthen its ties with regional countries, especially neighboring countries.

  On 25th, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif led a high-level delegation to visit Iraq again and held talks with Iraqi President Saleh and Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi.

  On 25th, Iraqi President Saleh received Zarif and his party at the presidential residence, and the two sides discussed how to achieve regional security and stability.

  According to the news of the Iraqi Prime Minister’s Office, Zarif also discussed the relations between the two countries and the regional and international situation with Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul Mahdi on the same day — — In particular, it discusses how to reduce the losses caused by US sanctions against Iran and how to protect the two countries and the Middle East from war.

  This two-day visit is Zarif’s second visit to Iraq recently. On the eve of Zarif’s visit, Iraqi Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi and Speaker Habsi both said that Iraq is willing to mediate the tension between the United States and Iran.

  On the 25th, the Iranian military also responded strongly to the US decision to send more troops to the Middle East.

  According to Iranian media reports, Morteza Kurbani, adviser to Salami, commander of Iran’s most elite armed forces, said on the 25th that if the United States dares to make any stupid move in the Gulf region, Iran will let Americans taste the power of Iran — — According to Kurbani, Iran has two kinds of "top new secret weapons", which can send American warships to the bottom of the sea together with the planes and soldiers on them.

The pot of flash marriage? Deputy Yang Tianzhen issued a statement: Yuqi Zhang agreed to divorce.



1905 movie network news On September 27th, Yuqi Zhang’s agent, Yang Tianzhen, issued a statement on behalf of Yuqi Zhang Yuan Bayuan, announcing that the two had agreed to divorce today. Yang Tianzhen said in his blog post: "A relationship is always a matter for two people. I hope that all the dust will settle, and I hope that you will stop prying into private affairs. It is fate to have a companion in life. I hope that each of you will be safe and bless each other."


This is also the second marriage that Yuqi Zhang and Yuan Bayuan ended respectively. Yuqi Zhang lies in the fact that Wang Quanan, the director, had a marriage and agreed to divorce because of the Wang Quanan scandal. Yuan Bayuan also married Ge Xiaoqian in 2014 and had a daughter.


However, looking back at Yuqi Zhang’s marriage, it seems that the old saying "I suffered from a flash marriage" has come true.


It is reported that Yuqi Zhang and Yuan Bayuan met at an event held by the man’s company, and then their feelings developed by leaps and bounds. According to Weibo, the studio at that time, they "confirmed their eyes" after only 70 days of meeting, and officially registered for marriage in September 2016.

Yuqi Zhang also released the Weibo on September 9, 2016, saying: "September 9, the ninth day, is a good day". On 26th, some netizens exposed Yuqi Zhang’s new love affair, and then the studio announced the marriage news.


On October 26, 2016, Yuqi Zhang Studio announced in Weibo: "Princess Yuqi Zhang of Bella has found her Beast Prince. Two single people have known each other for ten days and got married for seventy days. This is a just encounter, and those who believe in love will always be cared for by fate."


After the marriage, the two also sent "dog food" online from time to time. On June 30th, 2017, the studio announced the good news that Yuqi Zhang was pregnant.


On November 17th of the same year, Yang Tianzhen, the agent of Yuqi Zhang, posted a message in a circle of friends, revealing that Yuqi Zhang gave birth to twins, and took the first full-moon photos of the babies.

Just yesterday (September 26th), a screenshot of a case handled by a police station was posted on the Internet, indicating that actor Yuqi Zhang and her husband Yuan Bayuan had a dispute due to trivial family matters. In the process, Yuqi Zhang scratched her husband’s back with a fruit knife, resulting in a wound of nearly 1cm behind Yuan Bayuan’s back, but Yuqi Zhang denied holding the knife, and the police did not find the knife.


However, the news of Yuqi Zhang’s divorce came before the outcome of the incident was announced today, which inevitably made netizens sigh: in one day, "one knife" ended a marriage.


Japan’s hypersonic missiles have made rapid breakthroughs, which countries are quietly helping?

  [Chen Shan, special correspondent of Global Times] Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully test-fired a small rocket to verify scramjet technology on 24th, marking an important step in the development of hypersonic weapons in Japan. In recent years, Japan has invested heavily in hypersonic weapons, and its ambitious development plan is directed at China. So what is the current development capability of Japanese hypersonic missiles?

  Japan’s technical strength ranks first in the second echelon.

  Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) successfully launched a small rocket at Neizhipu Space Observatory in Kagoshima Prefecture on the same day, Kyodo News reported on the 24th. What attracts the attention of the outside world is that the rocket is mainly used for testing hypersonic vehicles with a speed of five or six times the speed of sound. And its successful launch marks another important step forward for Japan’s hypersonic missile program.

  Concept map of Japanese hypersonic cruise missile

  According to the report, this small rocket called "S-520-RD1" reached a height of 168 kilometers in about 3 minutes and 30 seconds after launch, and then released the test equipment with a length of 9.15 meters. The test equipment then descended at a speed of 5.5 times the speed of sound at high altitude and carried out a combustion test for about 6 seconds.

  NHK said that this test is part of a research project commissioned by a subsidiary of Japan’s Defense Ministry, which hopes that related technologies can be used in the defense field in the future. The Japan Times put it more bluntly: "Many countries are developing scramjet engines, and this technology is considered to be of great significance to the development of hypersonic missiles."

  Different from the traditional rocket engine, scramjet does not need to carry liquid oxygen, but burns by inhaling oxygen from the air and mixing it with fuel. This design can not only reduce the weight of the rocket, but also greatly improve its payload.

  The news that the Japanese Defense Ministry developed domestic hypersonic weapons first appeared at the end of 2018. At that time, Kyodo News broke the news that the Ministry of Defense planned to develop hypersonic cruise missiles, and included funds for researching scramjet engines in the budget for FY 2019, seeking cooperation with JAXA. The successful test of the scramjet independently developed by Japan undoubtedly represents an important step in the development of hypersonic missiles.

  In fact, the hypersonic cruise missile represented by scramjet is only one of the two technical routes for Japan to promote hypersonic weapons. According to the plan of Japanese Defense Ministry, hypersonic cruise missile (HCM) and hypersonic gliding bomb (HVGP) will be developed simultaneously in the future. Among them, HCM is propelled by scramjet engine. According to the US Global Security website, "compared with conventional missiles, HCM can maintain a higher cruising speed for a long time, thus reducing the reaction time of opponents, and at the same time, its volume and size are smaller, which can be carried by air platforms such as tactical aircraft". Globally, at present, only the Russian "Zircon" missile is about to enter service, and the United States also conducted a test launch of hypersonic cruise missiles not long ago.

  HVGP is more similar to the hypersonic boost-glide weapon developed by Russia, China and the United States, and has many advantages, such as fast flight speed, strong penetration ability and high strike accuracy. First, it was launched by a booster rocket on the ground, and the warhead was separated in the upper layer of the atmosphere with less air resistance, and then glided at hypersonic speed in the atmosphere and maneuvered to avoid interception. The research and development plan is divided into two stages. The first stage is the early equipment type. The warhead adopts a conical pneumatic configuration and is equipped with a small tail to adjust the flight trajectory. It is planned to be in service before 2026. In the second stage, the performance will be upgraded, and the warhead will adopt more advanced waverider design, which will further improve its speed and range, and can also carry out more complicated maneuvering orbit transfer. It is expected to be put into use in the early 1930s.

  A model of Japanese hypersonic missile appeared in the inspection photos of Yamamoto Tomoto.

  In addition, Japanese hypersonic missiles will use different warheads for maritime and land targets. According to the plan announced by the Ministry of Defense, when attacking maritime targets, armor-piercing warheads will be used, "specially designed to penetrate the flight deck of aircraft carriers". At the first International Exhibition of Defense and Safety Equipment in Japan in 2019, the Japanese side also displayed the prototype of the "hypersonic gliding bomb" and used simulated animation to demonstrate the process of its attack on the aircraft carrier. When it strikes the ground, it will choose the high-explosive warhead for regional suppression. The Ministry of Defense revealed that in the future, these two kinds of hypersonic missiles will be guided by satellite navigation system, with inertial navigation system as backup. It is worth noting that Japan is building a local navigation network consisting of seven satellites to provide continuous positioning for the Self-Defense Forces, which will enable Japan to provide continuous navigation data without relying on foreign satellites.

  According to the Swedish Institute for Security and Development Policy, the development of hypersonic missiles is very difficult, and only a few countries are participating in this "competition" at present. Among them, Russia, China and the United States are in the first echelon, while Australia, India, Japan and Europe are in the second echelon. However, in terms of technical strength and actual development progress, Japan ranks first in the second echelon.

  Which countries are quietly helping Japan?

  Why can Japan rapidly advance the development progress of hypersonic weapons? The US "Defense News" said that Japan has been conducting research and development and technical reserves in various fields related to hypersonic weapons for many years, including satellite navigation technology and solid fuel rockets. However, the report admits that in the fields of hypersonic guidance system, thermal shielding of warheads and missile bodies, and hypersonic propulsion system, Japan still has a long way to go to deploy practical out-of-zone hypersonic weapons.

  The "Global Security" website said that to independently develop hypersonic missiles, the first thing you need is test equipment such as hypersonic wind tunnels. These basic scientific research equipment, which need high investment, have become a "roadblock" for many countries to develop hypersonic weapons. The report notes that Japan has complete wind tunnel test facilities, which can meet different needs such as subsonic, transonic, supersonic to hypersonic. Even the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) took a fancy to Japan’s technical accumulation in the wind tunnel field, and signed an agreement with JAXA in 2020 to conduct independent wind tunnel research on the X-59 supersonic aircraft developed by Boeing.

  According to the British "Jane’s" national defense publication, Japan’s hypersonic weapons are mainly developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in cooperation with the Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Bureau of Japan’s Defense Ministry. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries itself is the research institute of various hypersonic wind tunnel systems in Japan. The hypersonic wind tunnel system provided by the company claims to have "the best accuracy in the world", which can provide a test environment with a maximum speed of 10 times, and the continuous working time is more than 30 seconds. JAXA also has several hypersonic wind tunnels, among which the 0.44m Shock Wind Tunnel (HST) can generate high-speed airflow at Mach 10 and Mach 12. Although these wind tunnels can’t be compared with the hypersonic wind tunnels of Mach 20 or even 30 in China, the United States and Russia, they are still unique in the second echelon.

  "Hypersonic Gliding Bomb" Planned by Japan

  Relying on these advanced wind tunnels and other infrastructure, Japan started very early in the field of hypersonic vehicles. In the 1980s, Japan promoted the "HOPE-X" program, aiming at building a space shuttle that repeatedly shuttles between space and the Earth. In 1996, Japan launched a "hypersonic aircraft testing machine" with a launch vehicle, which reached Mach 10 in the flight test. The plan was eventually cancelled due to technical difficulties and funding cuts, but the relevant technology accumulation was retained.

  In 2020, when Japanese Deputy Defense Minister Tomotohiro Yamamoto inspected the Institute of Aviation Equipment of the Self-Defense Force, a model of Japan’s latest hypersonic missile appeared in the background behind him. According to the website of US Naval Intelligence, the model shows the internal structure of Japanese hypersonic missile in detail. It is likely to be powered by a dual-mode scramjet, which can fly at high altitude at a speed of more than five times the speed of sound or higher, and "can pose a threat to China or Russian aircraft carriers".

  Japan has also received external technical support in developing hypersonic weapons. India’s Eurasian Times said that in January 2022, the United States and Japan announced plans to sign a new agreement to "strengthen their research and development cooperation in emerging technologies, and strive to seek joint investment to accelerate innovation and ensure the advantages of the alliance in key and emerging fields, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, directional energy and quantum computing". Although in the joint statement issued by the two sides, American and Japanese officials provided little information about the specific content of the R&D sharing agreement, it is widely believed that one of its key points includes cutting-edge space systems and hypersonic missile technology. In addition, the "Ocuss" alliance established by Australia, Britain and the United States has also reached an agreement with Japan to jointly develop hypersonic weapons.

  Who is the target of Japanese hypersonic missile?

  It is worth noting that the target of Japan’s development of hypersonic missiles is very clear. The schematic diagram released by the Ministry of Defense shows that the "Hypersonic Cruise Missile (HCM)" launched an attack on the "opponent aircraft carrier" under the guidance of satellites and drones. The "opponent aircraft carrier" is very similar to the sliding deck aircraft carrier currently in service in China and Russia. While many Japanese media introduced the "Hypersonic Gliding Bomb (HVGP)", they also specially emphasized that it will be used for "outlying island operations". In recent years, Japan’s enhanced ability to seize the island, the main imaginary enemy is considered to be China.

  United press international said that Japan’s hypersonic weapons may be used to attack other countries’ military bases, raising concerns about Japan’s violation of the peaceful constitution. In recent years, the Japanese government has been advocating the development of "ability to attack enemy bases" and taking the opportunity to promote long-range strike equipment including hypersonic weapons.

  The Swedish Institute for Security and Development Policy warned that Japan’s hypersonic weapon development plan is very risky and is likely to further disrupt the stability in Northeast Asia. According to the report, HCM and HVGP provide a series of military capabilities that have attracted much attention. In particular, they greatly reduce the time for opponents to warn and respond to incoming missiles or warheads. Compared with traditional ballistic missiles, the maneuverability of hypersonic weapons has improved, so the existing detection and defense systems may not be able to cope with these new technologies. In addition, such mobile weapons can also attack high-value targets more accurately.

  According to the report, "since there are almost no bilateral and regional collective stability mechanisms and arms control agreements, the proliferation of hypersonic weapons may mean the retrogression of the regional situation." The report specifically mentioned that it is difficult to distinguish whether hypersonic weapons carry nuclear warheads, and Japan’s related plans may make its neighbors feel uneasy. "If Tokyo decides to implement its own hypersonic weapon, it may pay a heavy price."

Tucki MONA M03 real car analysis value and practicality pay equal attention.

Analysis of MONA M03 real vehicle in Tucki

On July 3rd, Xpeng Motors unveiled the new pure electric coupe MONA M03. At the press conference, He Xiaopeng elaborated on the multiple highlights of the car, saying that the charm of MONA M03 goes beyond appearance and is reflected in design innovation, space utilization and energy management at a deeper level.

As a pure electric coupe with a price close to the people, MONA M03 accurately captures the core characteristics of coupe models. Its design fully demonstrates the unique style of the coupe, and its practicality can not be underestimated. For the first time, the electric hatchback tailgate design has been applied in similar products. This design not only gives the vehicle more aesthetic value, but also creates a spacious trunk space of 621L, surpassing some medium-sized SUVs and greatly improving the convenience of loading.

In terms of energy efficiency, MONA M03 shows Xpeng Motors’s attention to detail. In order to enhance the endurance and reduce the wind resistance, the model has undergone ten rounds of wind tunnel tests with each round exceeding 100 hours, and 15 key components have been improved, which finally significantly reduces the wind resistance coefficient and directly improves the mileage of more than 60 kilometers.

In addition, the AGS fully integrated active air intake grille carried by MONA M03 is worth mentioning, which is the first time that this kind of technology has been widely used in production vehicles. This not only enhances the performance of the vehicle, but also adds a sense of science and technology to the MONA M03.

Overseas media attention! Globalization is going against the current. What expectations does G20 Argentina Summit carry?

  CCTV News:On November 27th, the "International Sharp Review" of the Central Radio and Television General Station broadcasted the title "Globalization encounters countercurrent, what expectations does the G20 Argentina Summit carry? The article was reprinted and quoted by many overseas media.

  From November 27th to 28th, NTV (Russian National Television), Voice of America (Voice of America), TVRI (Republic of Indonesia Television), Canal 24 Horas (Spanish TV 24-hour news channel) and 5 Kanal (Ukrainian Channel 5) quoted relevant contents and materials. Many overseas media, such as French LCF Radio facebook account, German German-Chinese Report website, Italian Radio We website (facebook account, twitter account), Japanese Record China website, Japanese Niconico website, Japanese Oricon website, Turkish Economic Observer website, Indian Daily Morning News website, Kazakhstan Industrial News website, and Nigerian Leader newspaper website, have widely forwarded them. On November 29th, Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po also published this article.The main reports are as follows:

  In November 2008, the G20 summit was held in Washington for the first time. At that time, a major task they faced was how to get the global economy out of the worst financial crisis in decades. Sincere cooperation and policy coordination among these major world economies have played their due role, and the world economy has gradually returned to the right track.

  Today, ten years later, the international community is once again facing severe challenges: although the global economy has maintained growth, its growth rate has slowed down; The development of international trade has entered a downturn. The World Trade Organization (WTO) predicts that the growth rate of global trade may be lower than the economic growth rate for the fifth consecutive year. At the same time, protectionism and unilateralism have seriously impacted the international order, and the markets of some emerging economies and developing countries have experienced turmoil. Risks and uncertainties in the world economy are on the rise.

  In this regard, the Supreme Leader of president, China pointed out at the recent Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Business Leaders Summit: "Mankind has once again stood at a crossroads. Cooperation or confrontation? Open or closed? Mutual benefit or zero-sum game? How to answer these questions is related to the interests of all countries and to the future and destiny of mankind. " He reminded people, "If we embark on the road of confrontation, whether it is a cold war, a hot war or a trade war, there will be no real winner. As long as countries treat each other as equals and understand each other, there will be no problems that cannot be solved through consultation. "

  The upcoming G20 Argentina Summit will be held in this context, and it will mainly discuss two topics: global economic governance and atmospheric change. Among them, global economic governance mainly involves global trade issues. Because at present, how to stop trade protectionism and unilateralism, continue to promote globalization and safeguard the global multilateral trading system is an urgent problem.

  The core of the global multilateral trading system is the World Trade Organization, and the reform of WTO is considered as one of the core topics of this G20 summit. Because the United States has repeatedly rejected the appointment of judges of the WTO dispute settlement body in the past year, this institution is facing paralysis, and the normal operation of the WTO is also threatened.

  Zhang Xiangchen, China’s Permanent Representative to the World Trade Organization, said frankly that for more than a decade, hundreds of billions of dollars in agricultural subsidies of developed WTO members have not been cut at all; Emerging formats such as e-commerce have flourished in the global market, but the WTO has failed to provide any international norms; What’s more, in the face of the rampant unilateralism and protectionism today, it is difficult for the WTO to effectively restrict it. The WTO needs and must be reformed.

  With regard to WTO reform, China, the European Union and Canada all actively put forward their own reform ideas or specific suggestions. However, because the relevant process has not yet started, the parties still have different views on related issues. It can be predicted that all parties will take the opportunity of G20 Summit to seek in-depth exchange of views, narrow differences and expand consensus on reform.

  Associated with global trade, the leaders of China and the United States will meet during the G20 Argentina Summit. As the world’s top two economies, any sign of Sino-US economic relations will have an impact on the global economy. The healthy and stable development of Sino-US relations is not only related to the well-being of the two peoples, but also affects world peace and prosperity. It is widely expected that the first meeting between China and the United States will make further progress in the economic and trade fields between the two countries, effectively resolve the trade friction between China and the United States, and enhance more certainty in the global market and the world economy.

  Global climate change will be another important topic at the G20 summit. At the G-20 Hamburg Summit last year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the G-20 failed to reach a consensus on the Paris Agreement because of the "regret" withdrawal of the United States, but the remaining 19 members unanimously decided that the Paris Agreement was irreversible.

  In the past few weeks, the forest fires in California have forced people to focus on global climate change again. Whether the G20 Argentina Summit can reach an agreement on this issue is of concern. According to the Financial Times, the leaked draft summit statement will briefly mention the Paris Agreement, but will not call for more financial assistance to developing countries to cope with climate change.

  Contrary to unilateralism and zero-sum game, the G20 international mechanism itself represents "multilateralism" and "cooperation". The experience of ten years ago shows that only by cooperating rather than confronting can the G20 jointly and truly resolve the uncertainties and potential risks facing the global economy. This is not only in their respective national interests, but also in the national interests of all countries in the world.

Men’s "beauty index" has risen by 80%. Men spend 25 minutes on skin care every day.

随着消费观念的变化,越来越多的男士愿意护肤美容。

  With the change of consumption concept, more and more men are willing to care for skin and beauty.

  With the change of people’s consumption concept in recent years, men’s "beauty index" has soared, and beauty products or services such as skin care products, cosmetics, micro-plastic surgery and health SPA have begun to be loved by male consumers.

  "Because I often stay up late, my skin began to get worse. I started using facial cleanser from the third year of high school." Mr. Li, a citizen who has graduated from college this year, said. And he is just one of many male consumers who are more and more "saving face". According to the data from the consulting firm Frost&Sullivan, facial care products for men are the fastest-growing products in the skin care category. More than 80% of men are willing to spend 25 minutes every day using skin care products, and the beauty-loving "other economy" is beginning to gain popularity in the market.

  Men are more and more "face-saving"

  I don’t know when, the skin care products on the first floor of the shopping mall began to display male-only products, and the counter attendants also had some male shopping guides who used a little makeup.

  "Some male customers came to choose it themselves, and some female customers came to buy it as a gift." The shopping guide of Shiseido counter on the first floor of Wangfujing Department Store said. She told the reporter of Sanxiang Metropolis Daily that facial cleanser and toner are the most popular categories for male customers.

  On March 24th, the reporter conducted a random interview with young men born after 1980s and 1990s. Of the 20 young men surveyed, only 3 said they didn’t use skin care products, and the remaining 17 said they would use different kinds of products such as facial cleanser, toner, lotion and cream for skin care according to their needs, accounting for 85% of the survey.

  Liu Lu, who just graduated, said that after work, he began to pay more attention to his appearance. He only used facial cleanser and cream at school, and now he will use some masks and acne products. "Paying attention to your appearance is also a respect for your work."

  Health beauty club, 80% male consumers

  "With the growth of age, many men will like to go to the health club to do SPA detoxification to relieve stress because of work pressure and other reasons." On March 24th, the reporter visited a health club. According to the manager, 80% of the consumers in the store are men, ranging in age from their 20s to their 60s. "Men spend no less on health and beauty than women."

  In the micro-plastic surgery industry, which has been quietly popular recently, male customers are also on the rise. Dr. Huang, who works in a plastic surgery institution near Bayi Bridge, said that men who do small cosmetic surgery such as hyaluronic acid, nose pad and hair removal account for 30% to 40% of all customers. In addition, some semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo and acne removal projects are also welcomed by male customers.

  data

  Men’s skin care products sell well online.

  In recent years, with more and more attention paid to male consumers’ psychology of "saving face", many skin care brands have begun to launch related products, such as Estee Lauder, Clinique, Shiseido and other brands have launched men-related skin care products.

  A person in charge of an international first-line cosmetic brand said that according to the survey data of consulting firm Frost&Sullivan, facial care products for men are the fastest growing commodity category in China, and more than 80% of men are willing to spend about 25 minutes every day using skin care products.

  On March 24th, the reporter entered "men’s skin care products" on Taobao, an internet e-commerce platform, and searched, and found that the sales of some brands of skin care products were very good. The monthly sales of a set of "Jewell" spring hydrating set was as high as 25,000, and the monthly sales of a Gough facial cleanser was 18,000.

  "Men are generally accustomed to using fixed brands and will not change them at will, so brand loyalty is relatively high, which also makes some skin care brands that originally focused on women’s products actively explore the male market." The relevant person in charge of the above brands introduced.

  A shopkeeper who specializes in semi-permanent micro-plastic surgery said that the semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo project has served more than 20 male customers since it was launched three months ago. "Most of them are engaged in fashion work, with avant-garde ideas and high requirements for appearance. “

  observe

  Men’s skin care market has great business opportunities

  For merchants, it is necessary to find the blue ocean of competition and find the market vane in advance.

  In order to attract young consumers and make them realize that male skin care and beauty are "healthy" and "sunny", many male beauty products employ well-known athletes as spokespersons, such as athletes such as Lin Dan and Ning Zetao who have endorsed male skin care products.

  Some insiders believe that there are huge business opportunities in China men’s skin care market. Especially with the continuous spread and fermentation of overseas culture in China, more and more young people, even older men, have begun to pay attention to personal manners.

  There is a saying in China that everyone loves beauty. With the development of economy and the change of social concept, men’s "love of beauty" is gradually accepted, and "other economy" is gradually expanding in the skin care and beauty market.

The wind comes from the seaside, romantic Bali private travel introduction (photos)

  Ready to go

  A popular tourist destination such as Bali, Indonesia, which is rich in travel information, can easily make people fall into various booking websites and complicated strategies before departure, and even make an expectation completely crazy.

  But what if you change your mind? Since it is such a mature tourist destination, I’m afraid there is no need to worry about food and shelter at all, so just go into battle lightly! Before backpacking to Bali, I basically only used two useful booking websites.

  In terms of accommodation, I prepared a hotel for the night when I arrived in Bali (the flight arrived at midnight local time) (I planned to let it go), and I used the hotel reservation website www.asiarooms.com. Judging from the amount of information on the website, every hotel in it has a location map, pictures of the appearance and rooms, facilities introduction, tourists’ comments, and even a price directly converted into RMB, which is very convenient and practical. And according to my later observation, the price of this website is really good, which is generally 20%~30% cheaper than the price found at the front desk of the hotel.

  In terms of air tickets, it is naturally AirAsia (www.airasia.com), a low-cost airline that has become more and more famous recently. This airline is really not suitable for those picky passengers, such as checked baggage and on-board catering, which need to be paid separately; For example, the air conditioner on the plane is visibly cold and smoky, just like the cold room of a refrigerator; Of course, if you don’t wear enough clothes, you can also get a carpet on the plane, but you have to pay for it? ? However, all these disappointments are rewarded with absolutely cheap air tickets, which is absolutely cost-effective for backpackers. If you book half a year or earlier in advance, you may even get a free ticket!

  Finally, I want to talk about visas. China tourists can get landing visa in Bali. If they have a confirmed round-trip ticket, they don’t need to apply for a visa in advance. AirAsia’s flight from China to Bali will stop in Kuala Lumpur, and it is ok if you want to stop in Malaysia, because Malaysia’s entry requirement is that those who stay in China for less than 5 days do not need to apply for a visa in advance, and they can go through the border immigration formalities directly.

  Arrive in Bali

  The only airport in Bali is called Ngurah Rai, which can be called Denpasar Airport in many cases. In fact, the airport is still some distance from Denpasar, the capital of Bali Province, but it is very close to Kuta, the most popular holiday beach in the area, only a few kilometers away. Visitors who arrive by plane will have a feeling of landing at sea, because the airport is by the sea. After about 9 hours of flight, coming out of the cabin, the tropical smell really made me alive like a fish caught in an advertisement for Siemens refrigerator.

  There are two things to do when entering the customs in Bali: first, go to the bank counter to exchange the Indonesian Rupiah (often abbreviated as "Rp", the official name is "Indonesian rupiah"); Then go to the counter in landing visa and wait in a long queue. The long wait made me feel sleepy gradually, until after I went through the customs, I waited for my taxi at the taxi prepaid office at the airport and reported my hotel to the driver, and then I gradually came to my senses.

  The beaches in Bali attract tourists with different tastes because of their different styles. So many tourists came out of a busy and tired airport and rushed to their desired beaches in the night. I also arrived at my destination, which is the only hotel I booked in advance during this trip. In the eyes of a person who prefers backpacking, booking all the hotels in advance is putting a stake in his itinerary, which is really not desirable. Moreover, the facts also verified my judgment on Bali before I left: there is really no need to worry about living here, because there are many hotels and hotels, and they are rich and frugal.

  After a full night’s sleep, I left the reserved hotel and soon found a quiet, clean and elegant courtyard hotel, which satisfied me both in price and environment. The hotel is very clean (in fact, I have never met an unclean hotel in Bali), which may be related to the Hindu tradition that waiters go in and out of the room barefoot. What’s more, as soon as you leave the hotel gate, you can always see many brightly-dressed Balinese women. They hold plates full of flowers and fruits, which are enshrined in shrines or in the middle of intersections. When they arrive, they will gracefully sprinkle their hands with clean water three times. There are also a large number of backpacking hotels hidden in Bali, most of which can’t be found or booked online, but they are all very charming.

Give me ten songs to make you understand Bohemian Rhapsody.


1905 movie network news As of press time, the global box office has reached 870 million US dollars (about 5.9 billion yuan), successfully ranked sixth in the global box office list in 2018, becoming the highest-grossing biopic in history.

 

This Friday, the film was officially released in the mainland. Although it was screened by the National Art Federation, it still attracted a lot of money. It won more than 10 million box office with 5.8% of the films on the first day, which set a new record for the single-day box office of Art Federation films. It will greatly exceed the box office record of 64.99 million Art Federation.

The box office is not everything, but it definitely proves that Queen and lead singer Freddie Mercury are unshakable in the hearts of world fans.

The film focuses on Queen’s musical journey from formal military service to Live Aid concert in 1985 in 135 minutes, and shows a legendary and multifaceted soul lead singer Freddie Mercury.

On the one hand, the film has spared no expense to restore many superb scenes in Queen, especially the Live Aid performance at the end, which has gone down in history, so that countless people who failed to attend the scene have the opportunity to be infinitely close to the legend.

On the other hand, the director also explores Freddy’s inner world with gentle brushwork, showing the loneliness, fragility, confusion and struggle behind his highlights to the audience, and creating a vivid rock hero image.

In 21 years, Queen has released 15 studio albums and created countless rock songs. Queen’s classics and legends are far from being carried by a movie. Let Xiao Dianjun take you to know the Queen that you may be familiar with and unfamiliar with in ten songs.


— — A few interesting things before listening to music — —

Queen was founded in London in 1970, with four members — — Lead singer Freddie Mercury, guitarist Brian May, drummer roger taylor and bassist John Deacon (formally joined in 1971).

The band’s predecessor was Bryan May and roger taylor’s Smile Band. Because the former lead singer ran away, Freddy was able to join and proposed that the band be renamed "Queen". The quartet performed for the first time on July 2, 1971.

Queen,1970

The band logo is designed by Freddy, an art student, and is a combination of four member constellations. Among them are two lions (roger taylor and John Deacon), a cancer (Brian May) and two fairies symbolizing his own Virgo.

Whether Queen is the greatest rock band is still inconclusive, but it is definitely one of the bands with the highest academic qualifications. Brian May, the academic record holder, not only looks like Newton, but also is a real doctor of astrophysics in Imperial College London.

In 2007, Brian May officially graduated. It has been 37 years since he first started studying PhD in 1970 (he dropped out of school to study music in 1974 and continued studying in 2006). At present, he is the honorary president of John Moores University in Liverpool, and he also has an asteroid named "52665 Brianmay".

Brian May’s graduation photo and Graduation Thesis

Roger taylor has a bachelor’s degree in biology (getting tired of studying dentistry and switching to biology), Deakin has a bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering, and Freddy has a bachelor’s degree in art and graphic design.

Queen has the longest-lived fan base in the world, and the "official support club" has been established for 40 years and is still recruiting new fans.

【My Fairy King】

My fairy king

(1973)

Mother Mercury

Look what they’ve done to me

Macquarie’s mother

Look what they did to me.

 

This song is included in Queen’s debut album Queen. This song "My Fairy King" has a beautiful and complicated style, and you can see the shadow of the golden song Bohemian Rhapsody in a few minutes.

 

This is also the first time that Freddy’s "Utopia" appeared. It is a country ruled by King Rhye and an important part of Freddy’s music and spiritual world. It has appeared in songs such as Seven Seas of Rhye and Lily of the Valley.

 

Freddie Mercury (1973)

Among them, the most important lyric is "Mother Mercury". It was at this time that Freddy decided to change his name from the original Indian style Farrokh Bulsara to Freddie Mercury.

 

Freddy was born in Tanzania to Parsi parents in India. At the age of 17, he immigrated to Britain with his family to escape the war.

Freddy as a child

In the film, Freddy’s name change seems to stem from his inferiority complex about his immigration status, but it is also said that he changed his name to distinguish his stage personality from his true self. On the stage, Freddy is the king full of expressive desire, while off the stage, he is just a simple and introverted ordinary person. Mercury also means "Mercury". Mercury is the dominant star of Virgo in Freddy constellation.

Freddy and his family

In reality, Freddy had seriously consulted his mother about the name change, and her mother fully understood him: "As long as you still love and respect me, there will be no problem." In reality, the relationship between Freddy and his parents is also more cordial and harmonious than in the movie.

【Bohemian Rhapsody】

Bohemian Rhapsody

(1975)

I don’t want to die

I don’t want to die.

I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all

Sometimes I wish I had never existed.

Queen’s deification is also one of the most popular works. The song has a long duration of nearly 6 minutes, and is divided into four distinct parts. It combines various musical styles such as opera, heavy metal, gorgeous rock and cantata, and is full of violent stream of consciousness and nightmarish psychedelic colors.

 

The recording process of this song lasted for three weeks, and the vocal part of the song was recorded and spliced by 180 tracks, so that after the recording was completed, the magnetic powder on the master tape was almost transparent in some places.

 

Once the song was released, it quickly topped the British charts and won the championship for nine weeks. Forty-three years later, in December 2018, Bohemian Rhapsody officially became the most played single in the 20th century, with more than 1.6 billion downloads in the world through formal channels.

The MV recorded by members for songs is also full of avant-garde colors. 

Many of the lyrics, such as "Easy Come/Easy Go" and "Nothing really matters to me", seem to imply Freddy’s attitude towards life and death.

【Love of My Life】

My love

(1975)

love of my life can’t you see

My love, don’t you understand?

bring it back bring it back

Come back, come back.

don’t take it away from me

Don’t leave me.

 

Love of my life is one of the few lyric rock songs in Queen, and it is a love song written by lead singer Freddie Mercury for her lover Mary Austin, at that time.

As shown in the movie, in 1970, Freddy and Mary met and fell in love when they were young. Mary has been his strong backing and spiritual pillar all the way. Although their relationship didn’t go to the end, in Freddy’s mind, Mary will always be his closest family and the only "wife".

Mary and Freddy in Reality

The song sings all the helplessness and pain for the lover to leave, and it is the love of many fans. The chorus in many concerts has become a classic scene in history.

Mary and Freddie in the movie

"Love of my life" is not necessarily a lover, but a relative of a beloved friend. After Freddy’s death, guitarist Brian May sang this song to the late Freddy many times in concerts. In 2008, he also dedicated this song to his mother who had just died.

【We Will Rock You & We Are the Champions】

(1978)

We will, we will rock you

We are the champions, my friend

We will keep on fighting through the end.

Undoubtedly, these are two of Queen’s most popular songs.

 

We Will Rock You was written by Brian May, and was inspired by a performance of the band in Bentley Hall. From the opening to the curtain call, the audience was singing passionately, and the scene was extremely hot. When the band left, the audience spontaneously sang You’ll Never Walk Alone.

 

In 1976, Queen held a free concert in Hyde Park, and the audience reached 150,000.

Brian May was inspired immediately: What can the audience do in a crowded concert? Nothing more than stamping, clapping and singing. So, he wrote these sound effects of clapping and stamping into the song and created this interactive "We Will Rock You".

 

Queen’s scene is always interactive.

Under the same concept of "participation", Freddy wrote another golden song "We Are the Champions" in the same period. At first glance, the title and lyrics of this song sound full of conceit and arrogance, but it just shows Queen’s attitude of giving up everything.

 

Taylor responded to the reporter’s question that the lyrics were too proud and conceited.

These two golden songs, like twin brothers, are always tied together to play and perform. They are the fixed ending tracks of Queen concerts and have been borrowed by countless sports and even political occasions.

 

Freddie Mercury once commented on himself in 1985: "I must capture everyone’s heart, otherwise this song is not a good one. It’s my duty to impress everyone. Football fans sing this song because it is a hymn to the winner. "

Next page: "The Show Must Go On" is a constant performance.
