　 　 1905 movie network exclusive feature　The summer file in 2016 has passed, and the film market has once again returned to calm. Recently released, it has become an important film connecting the summer file and the Mid-Autumn Festival file. Paramount Pictures, its production company, attaches great importance to the mainland market. In mid-August, it arranged for the film’s main creator to come to China and hold two premieres in Beijing and Guangzhou.

　

　 　 On the day before the Beijing premiere, director Lin Yibin boarded the Great Wall with chris pine, zachary quinto, zoe saldana and simon pegg to warm up for the event, which can be described as dedication. As of yesterday (9.7), the box office of the five-day release was 267 million yuan, with a mediocre performance. It seems that the hard publicity of the crew of Enterprise did not play a big role.

Star Trek 3 was mediocre.

　 　 For friends who like foreign films, this year should be a relatively satisfying year. Many sub-account films have not only achieved synchronous and quasi-synchronous introduction, but also Hollywood first-line stars have come to China one after another, giving mainland fans the opportunity to get close to idols. One premiere after another, one meeting after another, kept the stars and fans busy. However, how much impact does this have on the commercial performance of the film? In recent years, Hollywood stars have broken their heads and come to China. Why?

　

Why do Hollywood stars come to China more and more frequently?

　

　 　 Nowadays, the frequency of Hollywood stars coming to China is unimaginable four or five years ago. In 2009, before the release, director michael bay and the leading actors: Shia La Beouf and megan fox came to Asia for publicity. First, they held the world premiere in Tokyo, followed by the premiere in Seoul, South Korea, and returned to the United States after circling China for half a circle. As for why the China premiere was not held, michael bay gave the explanation that no one in China paid for the invitation.

In 2009, Transformed king kong 2 held its world premiere in Tokyo.

　 　 In February 2012, China and the United States reached the "China-US Film Agreement". China will add 14 3D or IMAX films on the basis of introducing about 20 American film quotas each year; The US box office account has increased from 13% to 25%. The increase in the proportion of accounts has laid a prerequisite for Hollywood stars to come to China in the future. The mainland box office is 280 million, and the film can get about 36 million (equivalent to about 5.5 million US dollars), which is probably why the cast of Transformed king kong 2 is unwilling to come.

　

　 　 With the rise of the mainland film market, the annual box office in China reached 44 billion yuan in 2015, especially the emergence of two 2 billion-level box office bombs, which greatly stimulated Hollywood film companies, and the roles of China and the United States in the distribution of sub-accounts films also changed. Looking back at the mainland publicity activities, we can clearly see this change.

"Star Wars 7" Juyongguan "The Force Awakens at the Top of the Great Wall" Publicity Campaign

　 　 In October, 2015, Star Wars 7 held a publicity campaign of "The Force Awakens at the Top of the Great Wall" in Juyongguan. Hundreds of die-hard Star Wars fans with lightsabers and many media visited the site, and 500 storm troopers occupied the steps of the Great Wall. The four beacon towers at Juyongguan Great Wall lit up the four characters of "Original", "Strength", "Consciousness" and "Awakening" in turn.

　

　 　 At the end of the year, "Star Wars 7" held a grand premiere in Shanghai, with director Jeffrey Jacob Abrams, producer kathleen kennedy, leading actor J·J· boyega and heroine Daisy Ridley all appearing, next to the Shanghai landmark building at the premiere site — — Two giant "lightsabers" were lit on the top floor of Le Meridien Royal Shanghai Shimao. In addition, Lu Han was hired as the promotion ambassador in China, and materials were put in. It is understood that Disney spent $20 million on the promotion of Star Wars 7 in mainland China.

The 2023 Chengdu ITTF Mixed Team World Cup came to an end a few days ago. The box office of this brand-new event, which was created by the ITTF, was about 28 million yuan. More than 35,000 tickets were robbed in one hour in the first round of ticket sales, and 10,000 tickets were sold in the second round of ticket sales in 7 minutes.

According to the data, more than 20,000 fans outside Chengdu bought tickets to watch the game, and the average cost per fan ranged from 2,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan. The output value of sports industry, accommodation industry, catering industry, transportation industry and shopping reached 260 million yuan.

Consumption "increment"

A large number of people watch the events across provinces and cities, which drives a series of consumption such as tourism and transportation.

According to the data of barley net, the official ticketing platform, in 2023, there were 39,535 users of Chengdu ITTF mixed team World Cup, and the total number of tickets purchased was 60,139. Judging from the residence of the whole ticket purchasing crowd, Sichuan accounts for 15.45%, Guangdong 13.09%, Chongqing 8.88%, Zhejiang 8.08%, Jiangsu 5.36%, Shanghai 4.48%, Beijing 4.16%, Shandong 3.74%, Hubei 3.38% and Hunan 3.15%.

The proportion of people who watch events across provinces and cities has increased, which has increased the flow of tens of thousands of people in the city in a short period of time and stimulated a series of consumption such as tourism and transportation.

Ctrip data shows that from December 4 to December 10, the number of travel orders from other places to Chengdu increased by more than 2 times year-on-year, hotels increased by more than 10 times, and air tickets increased by about 1.5 times. Compared with November 27th to December 3rd, the number of travel orders from other places in Rongrong increased by 3%, and hotel bookings increased by over 30%.

According to Ctrip’s online service platform, during the week of the competition, many hotels within 500 meters of Fiona Fang of Sichuan Gymnasium were in short supply, and the main room types showed "booked up" early.

"Sports watching tours have brought direct benefits to the city." Wang Xueli, director of Tsinghua University Sports Industry Development Research Center, gave an example. This year is the year of Chengdu Universiade. As one of the Universiade venues, Sichuan Gymnasium has been upgraded in software and hardware, creating a better watching experience for the audience. "This is actually the benefit of the Universiade, which reflects the input-output mechanism of large-scale comprehensive sports games."

Investment "increment"

Hold a "sports+"industry promotion meeting with the event as the link.

Wuhou District, as the venue of this tournament, is rich in cultural tourism resources, and Wuhou Temple, Huaxi Dam and Wangjianglou are all famous tourist punching places in China. During the games, the passenger flow of these scenic spots increased significantly. One week before the competition, the sales of merchants in Yulin East Road during the competition generally increased by 20% to 80%, the merchants of light meals and snacks increased by about 80%, the beauty and hairdressing business increased by about 50%, the retail and cultural entrepreneurship increased by about 40%, and the beverage business increased by about 20%.

Wonderful competition and excellent service continue to polish the city brand of "three cities and three capitals" in Chengdu. Wuhou district also takes the competition as a link and goes all out to promote high-quality development. On December 4th, at the supporting activity of the event-2023 Chengdu "Sports Plus" Industry Promotion Conference, Wuhou District signed a multi-project contract with a total value of 400 million yuan.

Judging from the long-term effect, Wang Xueli believes that the innovative hosting and service guarantee of this event have been praised by athletes and media at home and abroad, which has established a good reputation for Chengdu’s hosting of the event and contributed to the construction of a world famous event city. "This will promote Chengdu’s city image and city positioning on the international stage." (Reporter Xue Jian)

Special feature of 1905 film network　China art cinema has experienced a long development, from breaking the curse of box office failure of award-winning literary films in 2014 to shining brilliantly at this year’s Golden Rooster Award in China, literary films are welcoming new development opportunities. Today, Film Critics Today invited Shadan, a film critic who has been planning and screening in art cinema for a long time, to discuss with us the charm of art cinema.

According to incomplete statistics, 20-to 29-year-olds account for 60% of the total audience. More young people like literary films, and there are more controversies and labels surrounding it. Next, we will enter the quick question and answer session to see if you have the same misunderstanding about literary films.

Compared with other types of films, literary films have different missions and values. Professor Yin Hong of Tsinghua University once said: "Literary films focus on conveying the creator’s concern for human nature, society and history." Literary films are a very important part of the film industry, which plays a very important role in the cultivation of directors and audiences. In the early works of China’s fifth-generation directors, there are many films called literary film models, such as Harmony, which won many international awards that year. Thanks to the cultivation and cultivation at that time, today’s two movie master came into being. Art cinema’s creation nourishes young directors. Many young directors started with filming little art cinema, and they will become the main force of China films in the future. art cinema is a very important starting point in their lives.

At the same time, the existence of art cinema also ensures the diversity of big-screen movies. It is impossible for cinemas to have only popcorn blockbusters, but there should also be art cinema. Art cinema, as a very important cultural form, can provide many ideological sources for the audience and enhance their artistic aesthetic ability.

Art cinema should not be associated with box office failure. This year’s Golden Rooster Award-winning film "Mom! Is a very typical art cinema, and the box office performance is not bad. Shadan said: "In fact, we should not link this literary film with this box office failure. There is actually a big problem in this, that is to say, who are you going to film for? We also suggest that many young creators not only shoot some of their own stories, but also embrace the audience very enthusiastically and tell your story in a way that resonates with the public. "

In today’s Internet age, talented creators will not be buried, and there will be a large number of film selectors, curators and film critics to support them. art cinema, which is often shown in China Film Archive, is popular with audiences. Although these directors are shooting low-cost films, they have formed a very good reputation and brand among the audience.

@ Moderator Xiaoli:Then can you recall some wonderful clips, even those that may be controversial?

@ Shadan:For example, this movie is a very controversial movie, and its box office is very high, but many people (think) that its high level is achieved through the concept of "one kiss for the New Year" in commercial publicity and marketing. In fact, it is not a simple story about love, but a visual system made of a very complicated audio-visual language. The first scene of the movie is a very meaningful scene. A delicate hand actually carries a watch in his hand, telling you that at this moment, this man fell in love with me after being caught in my hand, and he will never forget me for the rest of his life. In fact, he has presented this very mysterious tone in this movie to everyone. In fact, there are more real meanings in movies than we imagined, so I think this is also a very important charm of art cinema, which is that you can keep pondering and watching, and every time you watch it, you will find something very fresh.

"If the racket falls, if it stops, then we will fall."

"Maybe it can fly."

In recent years, more and more successful cases have proved to us that as long as the film itself is good enough, it can always stand out. At last year’s Art Film Promotion Forum, Li Jie, president of Taobao Film, shared data: At present, Beijing and Shanghai occupy 70% of the box office in art cinema, China, and the proportion of Chengdu, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and Guangzhou is gradually increasing. This also shows that art cinema’s prospects and space are enormous.

@ Shadan:Many film festivals in Beijing and Shanghai are always hard to get a ticket, among which the ticket buyers are basically young people, and most of them are women. Women account for more than 65% of the ticket-grabbing links in the whole film festival. These audiences are all potential audiences of literary films. I am also thinking that if we can continuously establish this point-and-line national art film promotion network, we can find a lot of accurate audiences and cultivate them.

I believe this promotion mode will also promote our film creators to create more and better films. I also hope that this promotion mode should be promoted not only in Beijing and Shanghai, but also in more important cities across the country, so that the fire in art cinema can start a prairie fire and we look forward to a new spring in art cinema, China.

　　In the view of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Commissioner Wang Meihua, it is difficult for teenagers to resist the temptation of online games, because the highlight of online game design is that people are addicted to it, and attraction is its goal.

　　[2018 National Conference Special Report Escort the Future]

　　Future Network, Beijing, March 12 (Reporter He Zhuohui, Liao Jin) On the one hand, the overall revenue of online games reached 218.96 billion yuan, which is equivalent to the good news of the global box office, and on the other hand, the tragedy of the sudden death of a 12-year-old boy addicted to online games. Behind the rapid development and prosperity of online games, is it at the expense of the physical and mental health of teenagers? During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress, teenagers became addicted to online games, which triggered a heated discussion among NPC deputies and CPPCC members. Some members even angrily denounced: "Online games should be killed with a stick!"

　　Hu Wanning, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and president of Tangshan People’s Hospital, thinks online games are psychotropic drugs. Future Network reporter He Zhuohui photo

　　"Online games are psychotropic drugs." Hu Wanning, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and president of Tangshan People’s Hospital, said that online games should be controlled like drugs.

　　Hu Wanning was "deeply touched" by the problem of online games because he saw some children addicted to online games and almost didn’t graduate from college.

　　He believes that teenagers don’t benefit much from the game itself, and it is very likely that they will spend the best time of their youth in the game and be depressed. Hu Wanning is worried that online games are highly addictive. "If left unchecked, our younger generation will be really unimaginable.". The harm is not limited to young individuals. Hu Wanning also pointed out that "even some online games may be infiltrated into China by some countries with anti-China purposes."

　　In the view of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Commissioner Wang Meihua, it is difficult for teenagers to resist the temptation of online games, because the highlight of online game design is that people are addicted to it, and attraction is its goal.

　　However, Ma Huateng, deputy to the National People’s Congress and CEO of Tencent, has different views. He pointed out that online games should not be demonized blindly, but the positive value of games can be further exerted. With the recent popularity of ‘ Jump ’ For example, he said that many elderly people reported that they felt good and prevented brain dementia, and thought the game was "quite fun and simple".

　　Also engaged in network technology, Ding Lei, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chairman and CEO of Netease Company, further analyzed and pointed out that children playing online games are lonely, and they lack better TV dramas and audio books suitable for children. At the same time, there is also a lack of other social activities. He does not exclude teenagers from playing online games, but also said that he would personally choose online games for his daughter to try out.

　　Not long ago, Netease announced its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2017. The data shows that Netease’s net income in 2017 was 54.102 billion yuan, of which the net income from online game services was 36.282 billion yuan, an increase of 29.7% compared with 2016.

　　Both Netease and Tencent are profit-makers in the game industry, emphasizing the positive side of online games. Wang Jianguo, a member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and director of CCTV’s recording channel, thinks that their statements are hypocritical. "They emphasize the positive side of [online games]. For merchants, it is a bit hypocritical for you to emphasize only the positive side. " Wang Jianguo said.

　　In life, Wang Jianguo saw a living example of the harm of online games. "I have a friend, the couple are schoolmasters, one is from Tsinghua and the other is from Peking University, but their children can’t get into key middle schools, and their academic performance has been poor." Wang Jianguo explained the reason: children are addicted to one of the most popular mobile online games.

　　Although Ma Huateng mentioned in the interview that the Youth Growth Guarding Platform launched by tencent games has been running for one year, many parents are using it now, and the effect is obvious. In addition, in last year’s hit game "the glory of the king", Tencent also launched a health system, which allowed children under 12 to play only one hour a day and not play games after 9 pm.

　　Li Yanhong, a member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and founder of Baidu, also said that it is necessary to control the length of online games played by teenagers through software programs. However, Wang Jianguo believes that besides strict restrictions on the time of games, the content of online games, including the excitement of making teenagers addicted and fascinated, should also be studied one by one.

　　Li Yanhong said that at the same time, legislation should be followed up, and more legislative actions are needed in relevant legal provisions, especially in protecting the physical and mental health of young people. For online games, special expert committees are needed to define the advantages and disadvantages.

　　One side shouted strict control, and the other side cleared the name for online games. Whether online games are evil or not, should they be killed with a stick? Which is better, blocking or dredging?

　　"It is better to guide properly by blocking." Hu Wei, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party, believes that online games are not necessarily bad for all children. Parents have the greatest responsibility to keep their children from indulging and being led by the nose by online games.

　　Parents need to attach importance to family education, give their children a lot of companionship, have more communication with their children, know what their children lack and need to make up, and guide their children appropriately through communication and interaction, so that they can distinguish when to play, when not to play, when to study and when to do homework.

　　Ou Yanling, member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County, also thinks that it is not appropriate to "kill the game with a stick". Because with the improvement of people’s living standards, there is more demand for culture or entertainment.

　　"We can’t deny that games let you spend your leisure time, or get some satisfaction in other aspects, but game producers should also enhance their sense of social responsibility and improve their awareness of cultural communication and moral communication. Produce more games that are beneficial to everyone’s physical and mental health in a very responsible attitude. " She pointed out that some online games are full of violence and negative energy information that teenagers should not be exposed to, and some national heroes and traditional celebrities in China are used as a kind of joke to fill the games, which should be eliminated from online games and prohibited.

　　On October 30th, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China presided over the the State Council executive meeting, and adopted the Guiding Opinions on Deepening the Development of Industrial Internet in internet plus’s Advanced Manufacturing Industry to promote the revitalization of the real economy and accelerate the transformation and upgrading. The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to speed up the construction and development of industrial internet and promote the deep integration of the new generation of information technology and manufacturing industry, with the supply-side structural reform as the main line and the implementation of "Made in China 2025" and "internet plus".

　　On October 30th, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China presided over the the State Council executive meeting, and passed the Decision of the State Council on Abolishing the Provisional Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Business Tax and Amending the Provisional Regulations of People’s Republic of China (PRC) on Value-added Tax (Draft). Cancel the business tax in an all-round way, adjust and improve the scope of VAT taxation, designate units and individuals selling services, intangible assets and real estate as VAT taxpayers, and clarify the corresponding tax rates. At the same time, the transitional policies currently implemented for some industries remain unchanged.

　

　　The State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs recently jointly signed and issued the Memorandum on Promoting the Reform of Multi-certification and Strengthening Information Sharing and Cooperation among Departments, and reached an agreement on accelerating the reform of Multi-certification and deepening information sharing and business collaboration among departments and carried out relevant cooperation. The Memorandum of Cooperation puts forward clear requirements for relevant departments to establish information sharing channels, establish information sharing mechanisms, strictly control information collection, and promote the wide application of the "one photo, one yard" business license.

　　In the fourth quarter of 2017, the Ministry of Commerce, together with the Development and Reform Commission and other 12 departments, will jointly supervise the special actions to expand consumption led by local commercial authorities. The main content of the inspection is the specific work carried out by local commercial authorities around the two major tasks of "developing circulation and promoting consumption" in domestic trade and six major measures such as promoting standardization and intensification of circulation information, deepening the reform of circulation system, building a unified big market, increasing effective supply of goods, improving the quality of life and service, and optimizing the consumption environment.

　　The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) has decided to launch a nationwide concentrated action on law enforcement and counterfeiting in the field of consumer goods e-commerce from October 25th to November 15th. During this year’s "Double Eleven" period, local quality inspection departments will severely crack down on illegal activities in the field of e-commerce, strictly investigate and thoroughly handle quality violations, deter those who manufacture and sell fake and shoddy products, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. In addition, it will also strengthen coordination and cooperation with public security departments, and effectively strengthen the crackdown on quality crimes.

　　In order to further promote the disclosure of land acquisition information, China will establish a national land acquisition information sharing platform to fully safeguard the vital interests of the people. Since May this year, 35 counties (cities, districts) in five provinces (autonomous regions) have carried out the pilot work of standardization and standardization of grass-roots land acquisition compensation government affairs. The Ministry of Land and Resources will strengthen guidance with the relevant provincial departments of land and resources, and combine the relevant requirements of land acquisition information disclosure to promote the pilot results to the whole country.

　　The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security recently issued the "Notice on Issues Concerning the Setting of Post Conditions for Public Institutions" to further standardize the setting of post conditions for public institutions. The notice requires that the employer should scientifically and reasonably set the conditions of the recruitment position according to the requirements of the recruitment position, and must not set directional or discriminatory conditions unrelated to the position.

Republican candidate john kasich’s party primary celebration in New Hampshire. Jin Xiao Li tu

[Editor’s note]

On February 9, local time, the second battle of the 2016 US presidential election primary came to an end in New Hampshire (hereinafter referred to as NSW), and Trump, the Republican Party of the United States, won a big victory in this Republican primary. In the Republican camp, surprisingly, John Kasich, the governor of Ohio, performed well, ranking second only to Trump.

To China readers, kasich is a strange name compared with Hillary, Trump and Jeb Bush, and he is also "unknown" in American media. Who’s kasich? Why did he win the second place in the Republican primary in New Hampshire? Is his sudden emergence "a flash in the pan" or "enough stamina"?

On the same day, The Paper’s special contributor came to the scene of the NSW primary election celebration in kasich.Close contact with kasich and his supporters, trying to find the answers to these questions from the warm celebration atmosphere.

Just after the Iowa caucus, the Republican Party ushered in the second stop of the party’s primary election-New Hampshire. Although many people criticized that the proportion of white people in NSW was too large and too radical to predict the voting situation in the whole country, the results of NSW’s primary election were always extremely accurate. Since the state’s electoral reform in 1952, the final nominees of the Republican Party have won the top two in the state. Although Trump won NSW with an absolute advantage of 35% and became the biggest winner of this station, what was even more unexpected was the extraordinary performance of Ohio Governor John Kasich. He beat Cruz and Lu Biao, the other two popular candidates in the party, and won the second place with 16% support. The Paper and the US column team attended the primary celebration held by kasich on the evening of February 9th, and got close contact with kasich and his supporters.

Location of the celebration: Grappone Conference Center, a famous conference center in Concord, the capital of NSW. Jin Xiao Li tu

The celebration is located in the —Grappone Conference Center, a famous conference center in Concord, the capital of NSW. Since most polling stations closed their voting at 7: 00 pm, the celebration banquet also kicked off at 7: 00 pm. However, kasich, who was cautious, did not show up and deliver a speech until nearly 10: 00 pm, when more than 60% of the votes in the whole state were counted. The three hours in the middle are reserved for media, voters and special guests to socialize freely.

Actively prepare for the celebration to interview and shoot the major media around the world. Jin Xiao Li tu

Lock in the support of key party figures in New Hampshire

Most of the special guests are senior members of the Republican Party in New Hampshire, core members of the kasich campaign group and their families. On the way, we met Michael Coleman, the representative of the Republican Committee in Yorkshire, Maine. Coleman told us that kasich had already locked in the support of many key party figures in New Hampshire, such as John E. Sununu, a former senator from NSW. It is reported that sununu not only publicly endorsed kasich, but also served as the chairman of kasich’s campaign committee in NSW. The whole team has organized and coordinated nearly 190 public meetings in recent months. Sununu’s father, John H. John H. Sununu, is the 75th governor of NSW, and his younger brother, Chris Sununu, has also won the primary election in the new governor’s election, which shows that the entire sununu family has the right to speak in the NSW Republican Party. It is no wonder that kasich immediately expressed his special thanks to sununu at the beginning of his speech, even saying that without his unremitting support, he would not have achieved his second place today.

In the contact with kasich’s team at the meeting, we learned that sununu was not the only party supporter of kasich in New Hampshire, and a long list of election-supporting presidium was filled with the names of recent party leaders in the state, including former federal representatives Charlie Bass and Chuck Douglas. Gordon Humphrey, a former federal senator, Nancy Merrill, a former member of the Republican National Committee, Fergus Cullen, a former Republican chairman of the state, and Tom Rath, a former state attorney general, and so on. These leaders of the Republican Party in New Hampshire not only attended the celebration party that night, but sununu and Humphrey also acted as spokespersons for kasich’s interview with the media, striving to create a good impression for kasich in the major media. In the past few weeks, from The New York Times, a world-class media, to Nashua Telegraph and Concord Monitor, local media have voiced their endorsement for kasich. Although kasich is not well-known in the whole country, he can lock in a lot of media support, and his team’s former senior Republican officials can’t be underestimated.

Kasich: A Hawk in the American Budget

Among the special guests, we also had the honor to meet Ms. Shays, the wife of former Connecticut Congressman Chris Shays. She told us that kasich was well-known not only in the Republican Party in NSW, but also among his former congressional colleagues. Before becoming governor, kasich served as a senior member of the House of Representatives for 18 years, including 6 years as the chairman of the House Budget Committee, and has always maintained a good reputation in the House of Representatives. Her husband Shays worked with kasich on the Budget Committee, and was his good friend and admirer for many years.

Indeed, kasich’s moderate attitude on social issues such as same-sex marriage has made many people forget that he is a famous hawk on American financial issues.Kasich’s most outstanding achievement is to coordinate the budget plan with the White House, which helped the United States achieve a rare fiscal surplus in 1997 (the US budget deficit in 2016 was about $216 billion). Ms. Shays pointed out: "As the then chairman of the Budget Committee, the remarkable thing about kasich’s budget balance was that he was facing a Democratic president, Bill Clinton."The reduction of financial expenditure is often the best test of a politician’s cross-party communication ability. Although both parties are aware of the crisis of the huge deficit, whenever the Republican Party proposes to reduce its investment in social welfare, the Democratic Party says that it will cut its military expenditure in the same proportion. In the end, the two parties often break up in discord and achieve nothing. Ms Shays believes that kasich’s achievements in controlling the budget prove that he is not a politician who only talks empty words, but a real policy expert. Coincidentally, Portsmouth Herald, a well-known local newspaper in NSW, also mentioned in its endorsement to kasich: "In terms of government financial expenditure, experienced kasich deserves the trust and support of voters."

There are criticisms that kasich is too moderate? Ms Shays also defended him: "The most remarkable thing about kasich is that he knows when to cross-party cooperation and when to stick to principles. Some people say that kasich is too gentle like a teddy bear, because they don’t see kasich’s principled side. "

For example, on the issue of Ohio’s reduction of nursing house medical subsidy, kasich tried to defend the value of Republicans. It is understood that in the United States, elderly people who are ill can choose to live in nursing homes or receive treatment from hospitals at home, and the government will provide a large amount of subsidies to nursing homes every year. Although this has improved the service quality of nursing homes to a certain extent, it constitutes unfair competition for hospitals that provide home treatment services, and a large number of empty beds in nursing homes have also seriously wasted government subsidies and harmed the interests of taxpayers. In order to change this phenomenon, kasich proposed to reduce the subsidy for nursing homes by more than 400 million yuan in two years. As a result, it was opposed by three related lobbying teams in Ohio. They spent huge sums of money to make opposition advertisements and broadcast them on TV. However, this did not shake kasich’s determination, and he even used a controversial veto to protect his reform achievements in reducing subsidies.

Ms. Shays’ description can enrich the image of kasich in our hearts, but it is undeniable that many policies of kasich are actually controversial. For example, CBS News reported that in 2011, kasich, then governor of Ohio, supported the adoption of legislation to restrict social workers’ collective bargaining rights on work treatment, and as many as 350,000 people, including teachers, policemen and firefighters, were implicated. In the end, voters in the whole state overturned this legislation through a referendum convened by the trade union, which also reduced kasich’s support rate to around 30%. In 2015, kasich said that he would cut the financial subsidy for public schools by $84 million. This policy also brought a lot of opposition from the fiscal hawk.

Support voters: Tired of the endless mutual attacks within the Republican Party, kasich’s political outlook is very positive

At the celebration, kasich was in a good mood and put on a classic scissorhands posture. Jin Xiao Li tu

Besides the special guests, we also met many ordinary supporters of kasich at the celebration. Because all tickets for the celebration are free to the public, any kasich supporter can enter the venue and wait for the process of counting votes together to witness the final ranking of kasich. What kind of voters are there in kasich? What qualities do voters value most about kasich? What we want to know most about this celebration dinner in kasich is which voters kasich has attracted.

Many kasich supporters present said that they were tired of the endless negative advertisements attacking each other in the Republican Party, while kasich paid more attention to policies and did not take a negative attack route, which was exactly what they appreciated. The Boston Globe also echoed the views of these voters and reported that,Choosing kasich is actually a positive political outlook, because he doesn’t win the election by arousing the fear of voters like other candidates.

The conference hall was crowded with guests from all walks of life and the media, which was very crowded and lively. Jin Xiao Li tu

In the interview, it was found that many supporters of kasich were independent voters without party affiliation. For example, an African-American female voter who supported kasich said that in 2008 and 2012, her choice had been the Democratic Obama. She believes that this year, the Democratic Party’s policy was too radical because of Saunders’ influence. She began to worry about the high property tax, so she turned to support kasich, which tends to be conservative in economic policies and more tolerant in social issues. Coming from an immigrant family, she noticed that kasich not only supported giving illegal immigrants legal status, but also did not completely deny illegal immigrants the right to eventually obtain citizenship like other Republicans, which gave kasich a lot of points in the support rate among immigrants.

Kasich smiled and shook hands with the audience after his speech. Jin Xiao Li tu

According to the exit poll conducted by Fox News at the exits of polling stations, among all independent voters, kasich was second only to Trump, with 17% of the votes. Among all the swing voters (late voter), kasich surpassed Trump to become the first with 21% of the votes. In 2008, John Sidney McCain, who was not favored by the establishment at first, conquered moderate independents and wavering voters in New Hampshire by a large number of grassroots gatherings, which was exactly the same as kasich’s strategy in New Hampshire.

However, after all, the voters attending the celebration are all loyal fans of kasich, and the advantages of kasich in their hearts are precisely the disadvantages of other voters. For example, in 1993, kasich led a draft proposal to deprive the children of illegal immigrants of their birth citizenship, and he reiterated this view in the 2010 governor’s election. In this year’s primary election, however, kasich saw clearly the antipathy of immigrant groups to Trump, perhaps in order to seize these votes, and he completely denied his previous position in order to gain the support of immigrant groups.The Boston Globe reported that in order to win over neutral voters, kasich blindly shifted his political stance to the left. Some independent voters in New Hampshire even said that they had hesitated between Sanders and kasich, which is enough to show that kasich’s position has changed greatly.

On-the-spot documentary: kasich took the second place unexpectedly, and the lobbying group came to express its demands.

In addition to voters, media and special guests, a group of people also appeared at kasich’s celebration that night. They have just arrived from Iowa, made a short stop in New Hampshire, and will soon follow the trajectory of the campaign to the next stop. They are a unique landscape in American politics-the Advocacy Group. Advocacy organizations, or lobbying groups, are organizations that promote certain policies and interests. They often attend the campaign activities of various candidates, and get in touch with various campaign teams before the candidates are elected, so as to uphold the interests they represent. At the celebration in kasich, we interviewed a small non-governmental lobbying group with the goal of "legalizing industrial Hemp (HEMP)".

Industrial hemp, also known as hemp, is different from medical hemp. Hemp is a recyclable energy used in agricultural planting, paper making, military supplies, chemical industry and so on. However, since 1937, the Marijuana in the United States began to strictly control all Cannabis crops, including hemp. At present, only four states in the United States can legally grow industrial cannabis. Hemp growers think that their interests have been seriously damaged. They actively contacted the National Hemp Association and organized this Road Trip after receiving financial support. The Hemp Team followed in the footsteps of the candidates with a national flag made entirely of Hemp, hoping that more candidates could show their support for the legalization of Hemp by taking photos with the national flag. As of the time of publication, they have made formal contact with Bernie Sanders team. According to the members of the organization, the Sanders team is coordinating an opportunity to communicate with them alone, listening to and considering the demands of the Chinese hemp organization.

At the end of the celebration, the scene was very crowded. Jin Xiao Li tu

In the crowded venue, Han Ma is by no means the only lobbying group that is gearing up. Compared with the folk nature of hemp organizations, many lobbying groups are more secretive interest groups. Many interest groups smell the news that kasich may be upset tonight, and are prepared to use the opportunity of the celebration to get face-to-face contact with the kasich team. For all kinds of lobbying organizations, kasich is definitely not the only choice. Which candidate has stronger momentum, where lobbying organizations will naturally increase. In the seemingly noisy environment of the celebration, many calm negotiations and political games have also begun in one corner.

At about 11 pm, the celebration in kasich officially ended, and many media were still reluctant to leave, racing against time to report the sudden emergence of kasich in New Hampshire. However, that happy atmosphere of the celebration did not erase the fact that kasich’s nationwide election was still not optimistic. In 2012, Newt Gingrich, the Republican candidate, put all his campaign centers in South Carolina. Although he won the first place in South Carolina, his nationwide momentum could not be compared with Romney, which is very similar to kasich’s strategy of betting all his money on New Hampshire this year. Even worse for kasich, his New Hampshire votes mainly came from urban areas, while the 13 states that held the primary election on March 1st "Super Tuesday" were located in the south, and their voters were relatively conservative, more like rural areas in New Hampshire. Kasich’s troubles don’t even have to wait until "Super Tuesday"-because the next stop of the primary election, South Carolina is one of the states with the highest proportion of black people and the most conservative ideology in the United States. Only by surviving the two stages of South Carolina and "Super Tuesday" first can kasich be said to be a new hope that the Republican establishment can rely on.

Tesla fell more than 10% on Friday, and its market value evaporated by more than 10 billion US dollars. Before that, Musk said that Tesla’s share price was too high.

Musk released a series of strange tweets on Friday, which even made investors think that Musk’s account was stolen.

At first, Musk claimed that he would sell "almost all tangible property, and there would be no house".

But what really has a negative impact on Tesla’s stock is his next tweet. He said, "In my opinion, Tesla’s stock price is too high." This led investors to sell Tesla shares sharply. Some investors think that he is selling Tesla shares, while others think that his account has been hacked.

Four minutes later, Musk said that the United States should "restore people’s freedom".

Then, Musk began to send star-spangled banner lyrics.

Judging from Musk’s consistent "outspoken", such remarks are also normal. Musk even lost the position of chairman because of privatization remarks.

When asked if Twitter’s comments about Tesla’s share price were censored or just a joke, Musk said "no". It is worth noting that Musk had previously agreed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that public speeches on Tesla’s finance and other topics would be submitted to his legal counsel for review.

The SEC declined to comment on Tesla CEO Musk’s tweet about "Tesla’s share price is too high". Although Tesla’s share price fell on Friday, it has still risen by more than 40% since May 1, 2019.

The government’s behavior is "fascism"

Musk also criticized the California government’s home order, which forced him to close Tesla’s factory in fremont, California.

Musk has always been "outspoken" about the coronavirus pandemic. He told investors in the company’s earnings conference call on Wednesday that the local asylum order "forcibly imprisoned people at home, which violated constitutional rights" and even called the government’s behavior "fascism".

Musk said he was worried that the factory in fremont, California would not be able to resume operation, and said that this possibility should be regarded as a "serious risk". Tesla initially said that the factory would continue to operate despite the local asylum order, but then the government said that the production of cars could not be regarded as a necessary business. Six counties, including Alameda (where the Tesla factory is located), recently extended the local asylum order until the end of May.

Previously, Tesla unexpectedly "immunized" in the first quarter and made a profit for the third consecutive quarter. Tesla’s revenue in the first quarter increased from $4.54 billion in the same period last year to $5.99 billion, and the market expectation was $5.90 billion. Excluding special items, Tesla earned $1.24 per share, compared with a loss of $2.90 in the same period last year. The market expects a loss of 36 cents per share.

The latest news, the "anniversary edition" is on the market, and the new car is priced at 129,800 yuan, with a limited sale of 520 units. As a special edition model to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Good Cat’s listing, the new car adopts the exclusive "Sailimu Lake Blue+Siam Black Contrast Roof" body with the exclusive "Shadow Elf" appearance suit, and its shape is even better!

According to Brother Gu, the anniversary edition of Euler Good Cat also gives away the exclusive premium configuration of "Michelin high-performance tires worth 3,999 yuan" for a limited time. Is it more interesting?

Free and romantic "Sailimu Lake Blue" car color, exclusive design is more exciting.

Euler Good Cat Anniversary Edition continues the "retro futurism" design, and is still familiar with round headlights and smart body, but there are three exclusive designs in detail, which is even more unique.

The first is the exclusive "Sailimu Lake Blue" car color of Euler Good Cat Anniversary Edition, which is inspired by Sailimu Lake and symbolizes freedom and romance. As we all know, Sailimu Lake is known as "the last tear of the Atlantic Ocean", and the lake is like a blue gem, which makes people yearn for it. At the same time, this moral also echoes the design concept and initial intention of Euler’s good cat "personality does not conform to the crowd, please yourself."

It is worth mentioning that "Sailimu Lake Blue" car paint spraying adopts "eight-coating process" and has the characteristics of self-repair and high corrosion resistance. Fine scratches will be automatically repaired slowly after being irradiated by sunlight, and at the same time, it can effectively filter ultraviolet rays, slow down the aging and fading speed of car paint, and can guarantee anti-corrosion for more than 10 years.

With the "Sailimu Lake Blue" car color, there is also a "Siam Black" contrasting roof, which is more layered. There is also a "Shadow Elf" exclusive appearance suit including a black front fog light area decorative cover, a black exterior rearview mirror, a black headlight decorative cover and a yellow brake caliper, which further enriches the detailed design of the whole vehicle. Some people say that the anniversary edition of Euler’s Good Cat is like a "spirit wandering in the dark night", smart and elegant.

In terms of interior, the anniversary edition of Euler Good Cat adopts a long-lasting green and gray contrast design, which is also the heart of "Miss Sister" and the mainstream aesthetics is more attractive.

As the exclusive premium configuration of the anniversary edition of Euler Good Cat, we have to mention the Michelin high-performance tire with a limited time of 3,999 yuan, which has the characteristics of stronger grip, shorter braking distance and better handling performance.

Top-stream female car, Euler Good Cat’s global cumulative sales exceeded 260,000+

At the beginning of its birth, Euler Good Cat was determined to become the "China Global Car" and has now entered 50 countries and regions. In the four years since its listing, the global cumulative sales volume of Euler Good Cat has exceeded 260,000.

And Euler’s good cat can sell well all over the world, which is inseparable from good products and is also related to Euler’s "very persuasion". Since its launch, Euler Good Cat has continuously optimized its product functions and improved the user’s car experience according to users’ feedback and suggestions. With the launch of the "Good Cat Co-creation Officer" program, users can not only participate in diversified activities such as modification and peripheral co-creation, but also put their own suggestions and ideas into the development of new cars. Including the 2023 Euler Good Cat and Good Cat GT Honorable Model listed in August 2023, and the "Euler Good Cat Anniversary Edition" listed this time, all of which are works created by Euler Auto and users.

Looking forward to the future, Euler Good Cat will persist in "creating together for love" with users, constantly improve and update the product sequence, provide smarter, more convenient, better and more comfortable customized travel experience for users around the world, and create a "top-flow car in women’s minds" from a unique female perspective.

Write it at the end

Euler is the brand that pays the most attention to female users in the current automobile market. From product design to functional configuration, almost all of them come for female car owners. Brother Lu also learned that all models of Euler Good Cat, including the anniversary edition of Good Cat, can enjoy "comprehensive cash benefits of 10,000 yuan", which is quite cost-effective. Female friends who have plans to buy a car recently may wish to pay attention! (Text /MANGO)
