　　The story of the TV series "Filter" is dubbed as "Epilepsy Drama" by netizens. With the high-tech "filter" as the narrative incision, it intervenes in the advanced imagination of life and presents a novel way of telling love on the screen. The play does not stick to the plot of grasping horses or lingering, but truly depicts the psychological process of love and the growth and changes of characters, making people see that healthy feelings can reflect a shining self and a brighter future.

　　At the beginning of The Filter, the novel "Pride and Prejudice" skillfully applies the character pattern. The female protagonist falls into the whirlpool of prejudice because of class inferiority, while the male protagonist is confined to the arrogant cognition from the elite perspective. Through the different frequency interactions between the hero and heroine, they present different perspectives and feelings. The turning point of the story begins with the moment when Su Orange secretly loves and disillusions-when the straightforward evaluation of tang qi’s "You are so ugly" pierced the girl’s mind, she suffered not only the torture of appearance anxiety, but also the endless heartache of the emotional world collapse. At this time, the filter bracelet presented by the street grandmother is like the key to open the door to the fairy tale world-it not only helps Su Orange to create a variety of shapes with one click, but also instantly turns into a beautiful woman with a variety of customs. This dream setting accurately hits the collective memory of "magic cross-dressing" in every girl’s heart, just like the dream of childhood suddenly shines into reality, and the excitement can’t help but make people’s mouth rise.

　　Accompanied by a heroic act on the street, Su Orange, who "transformed" into a beautiful woman, met tang qi by chance. Tang qi’s beautiful face and brave soul instantly moved him. It was the first time that he really liked someone. However, this throb turned into irony in Su Orange’s eyes: the teenager who had previously shunned her was "licked" because of the skin appearance generated by a filter. It turned out that he was just a "Yan dog" who followed the five senses through three views. The Xueba filter crashed and shattered. In the eyes of Su Orange, tang qi at this time was like a "visual animal" judged by visual value. The dislocation of their perspectives and feelings brings a very interesting drama tension. The process of chasing and fleeing is always full of jokes, which shows the "stupid psychology" of people’s IQ clearing in love to the fullest, which makes people feel and laugh.

　　As Ne Zha said, "Prejudice in people’s minds is like a mountain", which also reflects the limitations of social cognition in different times. The story of Pride and Prejudice took place in the early 19th century, and the misunderstanding between Elizabeth and Darcy was due to their social class differences. In the contemporary Filter, the misunderstanding between Su Orange and tang qi stems from Mu Qiang’s psychology-Su Orange always thinks that tang qi is as talented as her sister, and their light is so dazzling, while she is almost transparent. The "filter bracelet" is like a traction rope, which leads tang qi to discover the loveliness and uniqueness of Su Orange. From the beauty Su Miao, every time the filter is upgraded, Su Orange will "unlock" a "new character". Whether she becomes an alpaca or Fang Jin, who is ugly, tang qi can always capture her unique mark from it, and she is really moved. With a wild imagination, The Filter allows the male host to transcend external forms such as appearance, gender and even species, deeply penetrate the core of Su Orange’s personality, intuitively tap the male host’s heartbeat signal, and finally confirm that true love will transcend appearance, identity and stereotype, reach a deep spiritual fit, and let true love realize two-way rush in the process of breaking stereotypes.

　　Some netizens think that "Filter" is a comedy for the audience, a sadistic drama for the male host and a cool drama for the female host. The narrative charm of The Filter lies in the perfect interweaving of triple drama experience. The omniscient audience looked down at this misplaced chase —— watching tang qi clumsily bump into each other, and witnessing Su Orange desperately escape. The two of them were like a pair of funny tell it to the judge, colliding with an absurd spark that made people laugh. The man’s "shielding perspective" trapped him in a cognitive cage: he didn’t know the filter incarnation of the woman, and he didn’t know what he belonged to, like a blind man touching an elephant. This misplaced love made the most sour sadomasochism aesthetics. The woman who seems to be holding the golden finger is actually caught in the existential dilemma: every new identity that is forced to open is like quenching thirst with poison. Although she has more colorful life experiences, she has to struggle in the whirlpool of lies and be exhausted until the filter is upgraded to stealth function. In the fear of the filter "self-eating", Su Orange suddenly saw the most precious truth, no longer attached to the omnipotence of the filter bracelet, just wanted to be myself again, and never felt so good about being myself as now. When the light of the bracelet went out, Su Orange really completed the acceptance and recognition of herself.

　　From relying on the filter to staying away from the filter, Su Orange jumps at both ends of the balance. In order to regain her self-confidence, she decided not to wear makeup and pictures, and to face herself. This overcorrection inevitably plunged her into another kind of tension and confrontation. Therefore, Tang Qi appeared as a "deconstructionist of science and technology" and solved the dilemma with the guidance full of philosophical thinking. He explained with common natural phenomena and scientific principles, and made Su Orange realize that beauty should not be a shackle of self-innocence, and technology is not a scourge. The key lies in control rather than being controlled. When the psychological burden is removed, Su Orange’s self-consistency and self-satisfaction have also been upgraded. From letting go of prejudice and seeing each other, to holding hands and being sweet together, and then standing in the light to guide you forward, tang qi and Su Orange presented the healthiest state of love through the traction of the filter bracelet: I love you not only because you are good, but also because I see a unique and shining self in your eyes. Love may pass away and disappear, but the self-acceptance and appreciation brought by love will flow in my life like blood.

　　The TV series "Filter" reconstructs the contemporary love myth with the romanticism of science and technology. Those magnificent stories that once belonged to fairy tales or foxes and monsters have now turned into filter magic that can be analyzed by technology in the drama, which has not reduced the romantic feeling of surprise and joy. As an original IP, the drama combines fantasy, love, suspense, technology and other explosive elements, with novel form and fascinating plot reversal. More importantly, under the colorful appearance, the discussion on the current aesthetic prejudice, self-cognition and ideal love is more in-depth and thought-provoking. Just as "Pride and Prejudice" penetrates the appearance of love and points to the essence of human nature, "Filter" also makes modern love idol dramas take root through the love fable under the cloak of science and technology, and is closely connected with public life.

　　[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."

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.

　　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.

　　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.

　　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.

　　Xu Zechen’s "Going North"

　　Chen Yan’s protagonist

　　Liang Xiaosheng’s In the World

　　Since the 10th Mao Dun Prize for Literature was announced, the discussion around the five winning works has never stopped. People are more concerned about whether these works can be put on the screen and let a wider audience read the stories. In recent years, with the upsurge of big IP and traffic drama fading away, the market of realistic film and television dramas is picking up. Will serious literature represented by Mao Prize works become the new IP "toon" in the film and television industry?

　　Mao Dun’s literature prize-winning works were once rich mines of film and television dramas. The winning works of the 3rd Mao Dun Literature Prize and Ling Li’s Young Emperor were adapted into TV series by Liu Heng, and the 3rd and 4th Mao Awards, Ordinary World and Bailuyuan, were adapted into TV series and broadcast, all of which gained both ratings and word of mouth. Mai Jia’s "plot against" was made into a TV series even before he won the Mao Award. The reporter learned through interviews that at least three of the five novels that won the Mao Dun Literature Award have signed out the film and television copyright and entered the process of film and television adaptation.

　　Yao Xiaofeng and Xu Zechen have the same view on adaptation.

　　The novel "Going North" published by Beijing October Literature and Art Publishing House and written by Xu Zechen, a powerful post-1970s writer, has won the Mao Dun Literature Award and the "Five One Projects" Award in succession. "Going North" tells a century-old story between several families on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal with two clues of history and present. It is not only a big book about "a river", but also a spiritual history about "a nation". As early as 2018, shortly after the publication of "Going North", this book was taken by the Enlightenment Film Industry and the copyright was successfully signed. Zhang Shuwei, the producer of the drama "Going North", told reporters, "This is not a particularly commercial act, but because the director and the original author are highly unified in spirit, which is the biggest feature of this project."

　　The director of the drama "Going North" is Yao Xiaofeng, who has directed plays such as Little Husband, Tiger Mom and Cat Dad, and Taking Dad to Study Abroad. Zhang Shuwei said that after reading the original novel, Yao Dao liked it very much, and because he and Xu Zechen were both from Jiangsu, they felt very sympathetic, so they made an appointment with Xu Zechen soon. "The director’s vision of this play coincides with xu teacher’s. The director thinks that what attracts him most is the temperament and grand framework of the novel. They have many consistent ideas on the film adaptation of the novel." Zhang Shuwei said, therefore, the whole process of copyright granting is very smooth.

　　At present, the drama version of "Going North" is in the process of creating the first draft of the script outline. Zhang Shuwei admits that the original novel has a large framework and a long time span, and it is no small challenge to adapt the TV series. In October, she plans to work with the director and screenwriter, and try to invite Xu Zechen to go all the way north along the Grand Canal to visit the places mentioned in the book and sort out her creative ideas. The film version of "Going North" is also in the early stage of preparation.

　　Chen Yan’s two novels become sought-after IP

　　Just like Going North, the film and television licenses for The Leading Role by Chen Yan and The World by Liang Xiaosheng were completed a year ago. At present, Chen Yan, who is the party secretary and vice chairman of the Chinese Dramatists Association, is a playwright himself. The TV series of the same name adapted from his modern Shaanxi opera Xijing Story was broadcast at the end of last year, and the response was good. Nowadays, Chen Yan’s two novels, Putting on a Stage and The Leading Role, which are based on the Shaanxi Opera Troupe, have entered the film and television process. The TV series "Dressing Taiwan" is directed by Li Shaofei, written by Ma Xiaoyong and starring Zhang Jiayi and NiNi. It is a TV series with a strong brand of "Shaanxi School". In an interview with reporters, Chen Yan said that "Loading Taiwan" has been finished and entered the post-production. The copyright of the film and TV series of "The protagonist" was signed a year ago and is currently in the stage of script creation. "Novel conversion film and television, is the film and television artists. I certainly hope that the adaptation can respect the original work. " Chen Yan said.

　　Liang Xiaosheng’s million-word masterpiece "In the World" is known as "fifty years’ life history of China people". As early as the end of last year, Liang Xiaosheng signed the full copyright contract of In the World to a company named Uncultured. According to the company’s official website, the TV series "In the World" will join hands with Tencent Pictures and be directed by in the name of people director Li Lu. Liang Xiaosheng had previously worked as a TV adaptation of his own works "Annual Rings" and "Educated Youth", but he also said in a public lecture that he no longer intervened in the film and television adaptation of "The World", but only participated in the adaptation seminar.

　　Among the five works that won the Mao Dun Literature Prize this year, the film adaptation of Li Er’s Ying Wu Xiong and Xu Huaizhong’s Leading the Wind is still unclear. The reporter asked Song Qiang, director of the planning department of People’s Literature Publishing House, the publisher of the two books. He said that after winning the prize, someone had come to negotiate the film and television copyright, but it was not clear whether to sell the copyright. As for "Brother Ying Wu", he thinks that this work is relatively large and may not be suitable for adaptation into a TV series.

　　The adaptation of serious literature to film and television should not be high and low.

　　Professor Li Shengli, director of the Department of Radio, Television and Literature of China Communication University, believes that taking the adaptation of works such as Massage, White Deer Plain and Ordinary World as an example, we can find that the overall acceptance effect of these Mao Prize works after IP adaptation is both well-received and applauded, but on the whole, Mao Prize works and TV dramas are art categories with similarities and differences, and their main acceptance groups have similarities and differences. "For a long time, there will be a huge gap between the main recipients of TV dramas and the recipients of serious literature. Of course, having excellent serious literary works as the foundation will make a good start for the vigorous development of realistic TV series in China in the future. Without this foundation, it is only possible to create truly excellent TV dramas by an excellent adaptation and creation team. "

　　Li Shengli said that there is no clear boundary between serious literature and non-serious literature. From the specific works, some serious literary works also have the potential of popular culture, and these works are the easiest to be adapted into excellent TV dramas; Other serious literary works can be adapted by borrowing some points that are suitable for market acceptance, so that it is possible to make a film and television drama that is both good and popular, otherwise, it may become a spring snow with high and low music.

　　Our reporter grew up.

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. "

　　The British university where I work recently asked all the teachers for advice on an old question: in the current globalization, should the traditional British professional title in the university be transformed into a North American system that is almost universal? The well-known North American system divides scholars into three levels: assistant professors, associate professors and professors. In Britain, scholars are traditionally divided into four levels: lecturers, senior lecturers, associate professors literally translated as "Reader" and professors. Associate professors, also known as waiting professors, refer to scholars who waited for the retirement of old professors when there were restrictions on the number of professors in the past. Senior lecturers and associate professors are basically equivalent to associate professors under the North American system. However, different job titles often lead to misunderstandings in international communication. For example, under the North American system, "lecturer" refers to graduate teaching assistants.

　　This is an old problem that puzzles almost all British universities. At present, only a few schools in Britain, such as Oxford University, London School of Economics and Political Science and Warwick University, have chosen to replace the British system. In 2009, my university discussed whether to convert the British system into the North American system, but at that time, the proposal was voted down by the university board.

　　As a foreigner, I think this is simply unexpected! Because international scientific research cooperation is so frequent now, why should we stick to tradition? Isn’t it a matter of course to "connect with the international community"? But after reading my colleagues’ replies to the school’s advice, I found that those stubbornness is not unreasonable.

　　The first person who opposed the transition to the North American system was Roger Sr., who said, "British appellation more accurately expresses the nature of these scholars’ work. Because the lecturer is not an’ assistant’ of any professor, and the senior lecturer is not an’ assistant’ of any professor. The title of North America sounds decent, but it actually implies a paternalistic style and does not respect the independence of scholars at different levels. "

　　Another voice of opposition came from Joe, who said, "Isn’t the basic premise of learning to be able to cross the barriers of different contexts and languages? Isn’t the subtext of replacing the British system that foreign scholars can’t even distinguish the differences of a simple title system? "

　　Of course, the problems encountered by prospective professors are the most realistic. If they are replaced by "associate professors" in the North American system, their status is equivalent to being discounted, because although they are the same as senior lecturers in salary level, this title has a little extra honor and is closer to "senior associate professors". Therefore, some colleagues pointed out that the two systems will inevitably bring losses and all kinds of unhappiness to some employees in the process of integration.

　　Although these reasons have some truth, they are not very convincing. For example, who will really think that an assistant professor is a professor’s assistant? Is it right to regard the title system as a thinking question for foreign scholars? And should "lessons from the past" be used as a reason to stick to the rules or as a source of experience? Interestingly, older scholars tend to advocate maintaining the status quo, while younger scholars tend to favor system reform. This is not surprising, after all, young scholars need more international cooperation, and they need to explain their professional titles to each other before talking about the project content. Such an opening statement is not a good way to carry out a period of international cooperation anyway.
