[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.

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.

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.

　　[Text/Observer Network Xiong Chaoran] In the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as a result of Israel’s relentless bombing of the Gaza Strip, as many as 800 EU officials wrote to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, criticizing her support for Israel’s "uncontrolled" (or "unrestricted").

　　On October 20th, local time, Al Jazeera pointed out that according to the contents of this letter, the signatories "can hardly agree with the values of the EU", and pointed out that in the past few days, the EU seemed indifferent to the ongoing "civilian massacre" in Gaza, ignoring human rights and international humanitarian law. These people are also sad about the "double standards" of the European Commission, because compared with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip is "completely ignored".

　　"If the Israelis don’t stop immediately, the whole Gaza and its residents will disappear from the earth." Nearly a thousand EU officials shouted to Ursula von der Leyen in the letter: "We urge you to join the leaders of the whole EU in calling for a ceasefire and protecting civilian lives, which is the core of the EU’s existence." They also warned that otherwise, "the EU risks losing all its credibility".

　　Al Jazeera pointed out that the appearance of this letter represents "profound differences" within the EU on how to deal with the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which has caused thousands of deaths in less than two weeks.

　　According to reports, these EU officials did not shy away from criticizing the European Commission. The letter said: "The recent regrettable actions or positions of the European Commission seem to provide freedom for the acceleration and legality of war crimes in Gaza. If the EU calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and indiscriminate violence against civilians, we will be proud."

　　In this case, the European Commission said that it has taken note of this letter and is ready to contact the staff and European citizens to understand their views and positions.

　　"Chairman (Ursula von der Leyen) has repeatedly stated that ‘ It is not contradictory to unite with Israel and meet the humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people. " A spokesperson for the European Commission told Al Jazeera: "She also said that we (the EU) cannot hesitate, and Europe will always stand on the side of humanity and human rights."

　　At present, Ursula von der Leyen is attending the US-Europe Summit in the United States. An EU source, who asked not to be named, admitted to Al Jazeera that the letter is unlikely to change EU policies, "but it shows that there are growing differences among many (EU) staff who want to see international law applied globally".

　　Another EU source also told Al Jazeera that opposition within the EU is on the rise because Ursula von der Leyen’s team "seems to have completely misjudged the situation".

　　"They — — She and her closest advisers — — Think that this Palestinian-Israeli conflict will be another ‘ Ukrainian moment ’ So they want to condemn the terrorists and win the moral debate. But I don’t think they understand the degree of oppression experienced by Palestinians at all, and they don’t understand that people generally believe that this conflict is a violent resistance to occupation. "

　　The official believes that Ursula von der Leyen is "still struggling morally about what position to take", adding that her position from now on may depend on "diplomatic efforts on a global scale and the position of US Secretary of State Blinken".

　　"The team (in Ursula von der Leyen) is trying to adjust its route and admit that they misjudged the situation. They are trying to rewrite a narrative in which they can still be regarded as a staunch ally of Israel and a diplomatic force in the region, while trying to continue to maintain a certain degree of credibility in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. " But the official changed the subject: "But in this case, it seems that Americans will be the adults in the room."

　　On October 20th, local time, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Michelle met with US President Biden in Washington. The US "politician" news network said on October 20 that the visit of the two EU leaders has an important goal, that is, to establish a United front on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. Nevertheless, even before the talks began, the differences between the two men were on the table — — Michelle met Biden in the Oval Office of the White House, while Ursula von der Leyen waited until after the talks to talk with Biden while walking in the White House Rose Garden.

　　At the same time, like Ursula von der Leyen, the current Speaker of the European Parliament, Metsola, has been questioned by her officials, after she went to Israel with Ursula von der Leyen. Borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, won the praise of some EU officials this time, thinking that his position in the current situation is different from that of Ursula von der Leyen and Metsola, and he often calls for the release of hostages and the rapid delivery of aid to the besieged areas on the verge of collapse.

　　Kristina Kausch, a senior researcher at the German Marshall Foundation, an American think tank, pointed out that in the past 10 years, the 27 EU countries "almost failed to make any joint statement" on the Palestinian-Israeli crisis. As a result, she said, the EU’s policy on the Palestinian-Israeli issue is "hopelessly stagnant", and the Palestinian-Israeli issue is a key criterion for the EU to become a "global actor".

　　On October 19th, local time, the European Parliament, headquartered in Strasbourg, France, passed a resolution calling on all parties to achieve a "humanitarian ceasefire" in the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict. However, some officials said that there were still a lot of differences, such as a debate on whether to use the wording "ceasefire" or "suspension of the conflict" in the resolution, and there was no mention of the Israeli occupation or blockade of the Gaza Strip.

　　"For our group of officials, ‘ (Conflict) Never come again ’ It is actually meaningful. " An EU official said: "We remember the September 11th incident, and many of us protested against the Iraq war. So I think that when Ursula von der Leyen and Metsola seem to provide full support to Israel in our name, many people are shocked and feel that the space for expressing solidarity with the Palestinians is shrinking. "

　　Al Jazeera finally pointed out that just before EU officials appealed to Ursula von der Leyen, there seemed to be other signs of political friction in the whole western world.

　　Following the resignation of Josh Paul, director of the State Council’s Political and Military Affairs Bureau, who was dissatisfied with the military aid to Israel, according to the Huffington Post on October 19th, local time, many officials in the State Council revealed that more people were prepared to formally raise objections to Biden’s administration on the handling of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, more and more people were considering resigning like Paul, and others were preparing an internal "objection telegram" criticizing the US foreign policy toward Israel.

　　According to the report, for the Palestinian-Israeli policy of the Biden administration, "Mutiny Brewing at all levels within the State Council."

　　As of October 20, this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has caused more than 5,600 deaths on both sides. The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on the 20 th that this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has caused 4,218 deaths in Pakistan, including more than 4,137 deaths in the Gaza and more than 12,000 injuries; 81 people were killed and more than 1,400 injured in the West Bank. Israeli media quoted data from the Israeli Ministry of Health. As of the afternoon of the 18th, more than 1,400 Israelis and foreigners had died in Israel.

　　China news agency, Beijing, November 14 (Reporter Liu Yuying) The European Union launched a countervailing investigation on electric vehicles in China in October. The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, and said that "this will seriously disrupt and distort the global automobile industry chain supply chain, including the European Union, and harm the interests of European consumers".

　　In the first three quarters of this year, China exported 825,000 new energy vehicles, up 1.1 times year-on-year, which greatly enriched the global consumers’ choice of car purchase, and boosted urban transportation to accelerate the green and low-carbon transformation.

　　According to the person in charge, as of the first half of the year, China automobile enterprises have invested and set up factories in more than 10 countries and regions around the world, and power battery enterprises and key materials enterprises are also accelerating the overseas cooperation layout, which has injected strong impetus into the development of global new energy automobile industry. China is deeply involved in international standards cooperation. Up to now, 35 new energy vehicle standards in China have been adopted by many countries and regions.

　　Automobile industry is a typical global industry, which can not be separated from the division of labor and efficient cooperation of enterprises in various countries. The person in charge said recently that the rapid development of China’s new energy automobile industry benefited from the global cooperation of technological innovation and the international cooperation of industrial chain and supply chain, and also injected a strong impetus into the green and low-carbon transformation of the global automobile industry.

　　"China-EU automobile industry cooperation has a long history, and they have formed extensive common interests with each other. All major European car companies have factories in China, and China has become the largest overseas market for many European car companies. The implementation of countervailing investigations by the European Union is neither in line with the international trade rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) nor supported by sufficient evidence. Fair trade ’ The fact that a famous bank protects its own industry will seriously disrupt and distort the supply chain of the global automobile industry chain, including the European Union, and harm the interests of European consumers. " The person in charge said.

　　China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology suggested that the EU should listen to the voices of the industry extensively, support the industries of both sides to jointly maintain the stability of the supply chain of the automobile industry chain and better work together to meet the challenges of global climate change. China will support the breakthrough of technological innovation, promote the coordination of standards and regulations, strengthen the guarantee of factor resources, promote the interconnection of infrastructure, and promote the stronger, greener and healthier global development of the automobile industry.

Special feature of 1905 film network In 2022, the movie channel launched the People of the Month.Focus on the movie big coffee,Share creative experience,Movies share a better life.

In August, the film was released in full swing, creating a new box office record every day. This month, the spotlight focused on the star of the film.In summer, I walked into Shen Teng’s light and shadow world with the movie channel and felt his sincere love for comedy.

Red burst

We walked a little more on the stage before the twist, and later it was because the audience got to know us better. On the road of movies, we have been constantly learning and exploring, hoping to continue to deliver happiness to everyone.

Before goodbye mr. loser came into public view, Shen Teng had been "fluttering" for 12 years.

Before becoming a film actor, Shen Teng was a drama actor. In 2003, Shen Teng, who was about to graduate, received a drama script called "I’ll give you a twist if I want to eat it". After passing the interview, he became the first actor of the Mahua FunAge team.

Shen Teng in the period of military art

At that time, the drama was a minority art, and it didn’t get the scheduled income. It is said that the most bleak performance only sold four tickets and could only be stopped. And several leading actors stood in the snow, apologized to the four spectators one by one, and returned the ticket money and their round-trip tolls.

By 2012, this situation no longer exists. That year, people all over the country got to know "Hao Jian" through CCTV Spring Festival Evening sketch "Today’s Happiness", and his actor Shen Teng became famous overnight.

After that, Mahua FunAge appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Evening almost every year, and it was hard to get a ticket for the drama performance. They began to participate in variety shows, won the title of "Happy Comedian" in 2015, and got the title of "king of comedy".

Shen Teng on the stage of "Happy Comedian"

More than ten years’ experience in drama stage has not only honed Shen Teng’s peaceful attitude towards success, but also, most importantly, hundreds of tours in each play have enabled Shen Teng to know the audience’s most direct reaction, "Which package laughed, which package didn’t, how loud the laughter was, and how long the interval between the two laughs was, so as to continuously optimize the plot".

Many viewers didn’t expect Shen Teng to dance so well.

It is this process of "being close to" the audience that made his first film "goodbye mr. loser" win 1.444 billion yuan at the box office, and became an unquestionable dark horse in the film market that year. Shen Teng also completed the triple jump from a small theater actor to a popular comedy star.

However, when it comes to the happiest moment of life in the interview, Shen Teng’s answer is not that the Spring Festival Evening became famous overnight, not that goodbye mr. loser was a box office with a billion dollars, but that "when Mahua FunAge was still wandering in several places in East Cotton Hutong and Heping, a group of distracted young people drank wine, strung around and pondered the baggage day and night".

Many actors lost their way in the flowers and applause, and many people were trapped by the flow and lacked the freedom to choose, while Shen Teng stood there firmly and convinced all the audience that the gust of wind that belonged to him had just blown.

Now the audience is watching more and more good works and expecting more and more works, but comedy works can’t be repeated, which is more difficult for creators. How to arouse the audience’s curiosity in the plot, how to resonate with the audience emotionally, and how funny the burden is, we must constantly ponder.

Shen Teng, who is off-screen and off-program, is a person with a sense of evasion and alienation, similar to other comedy stars. He doesn’t like to interview and expose himself, but he can stand on the stage and in front of the camera, but he has a natural sense of relaxation.

Growing up in the land with a strong comedy background in Northeast China, Shen Teng became interested in art under the influence of his parents. Just as his cognition of Chaplin, "comedy is only one aspect of him, and his satire and exposure are the most powerful things".

After "goodbye mr. loser", Shen Teng had a long gap until the release of two films in 2017 and 2018. Without exception, Shen Teng is playing a nobody, who is not tall, imperfect, wilting, cheap, sometimes greedy and a little chicken thief, but there is always an indestructible kindness in his heart.

Stills of "The Iron Fist of Shame"

It is such a real, unpretentious and unpretentious performance that suits the tastes of the most extensive film audience in China. The box office of Shameful Iron Fist was 2.213 billion, and the box office of the richest man in Xihong City was 2.547 billion. Shen Teng became the most popular comedian after others.

And what is comedy? Shen Teng didn’t give up exploring it. He has explored the deeper part of comedy in his novels, which belongs to the higher part of comedy — — Behind the baggage and jokes, there is a magical power that makes the audience laugh with tears.

For him, comedy is like a cup of milk tea with complicated taste. After drinking it, the bitterness of the tea in the cup is still there, but the audience’s mouth, taste buds and esophagus have been covered with a sweet sponge, and the bitterness and acidity are absorbed together.

Whether it’s Zhang Chi, a washed-up car god in Flying Life, Dafei, who has repeatedly failed in investment in Crazy Alien, or Wu Renteng, the father who tried to cover up his poverty in Four Seas, they all have the sad background of little people more or less. It is also in this way that comedy movies have a more touching charm.

Moon Man, which is being shown recently, is actually different from the previous works of Twist. It is a comedy wrapped in science fiction. In this film, we are more inclined to the story and characters. We put all the baggage in the play and remove all the things arranged outside. I hope the audience can like it.

In the entertainment circle, some people can make up stories, some people can act stories, and some people have stories. Shen Teng happens to be the kind of actor who has a story and can interpret the humor and sadness of little people just right.

Moon Man stills

In the popular movie Moon Man, Shen Teng also plays a nobody, Duguyue, and puts forward the concept of "middleman" in the movie for the first time. Different from the gag in previous movies, this time, the character played by Shen Teng landed on the moon alone, which means that no one gave him a "bang", and most of his plays were monologues, which is a great challenge for comedians.

Another challenge comes from the massive increase of action scenes. In Moon Man, Shen Teng plays the role of Duguyue, who makes "jokes" at Yuedun base. In order to simulate climbing on the surface of the moon, Shen Teng asked "Weiya to pull gently, and work harder by herself".

In order to pursue the real weightlessness effect of the moon, Shen Teng put on a 40-Jin spacesuit and hung Weiya, and kept rolling, jumping and running. On the basis of a large number of action scenes, Shen Teng also needs to control the comedy feeling of the performance and show his improvisation ability from time to time.

The director praised Shen Teng’s "improvisation ability". "As long as Teng Ge is here and put him in that environment, he will naturally have his inspiration, which I think is the most real and precious".

Some people saw Moon Man’s lineup and pre-sale at the box office, feeling that "it seems to have entered the Spring Festival file ahead of schedule". Of course, compared with the previous films starring him in the Spring Festival, Moon Man under the epidemic is more like a beam of light, which ignited everyone’s cherish of ordinary life with laughter and energy in August.

The movie channel will broadcast Shen Teng’s representative works "Shameful Iron Fist" and "Flying Life" on August 27th, so stay tuned!

In "The Iron Fist of Shame", Shen Teng plays Zhang cornus, the deputy head of the "Lotus Gate", dressed as a martial arts expert, and he taught Addison (Allen) all kinds of unique skills, which seem to be "unreliable, but in fact full of life wisdom".

In "Flying Life", Zhang Chi (Shen Teng), the former car god, returned to the car world after being banned for five years to challenge the younger generation of genius Lin Zhendong (ornaments), which is full of inspirational flavor.

From the stage of drama to the center of the screen, from playing the leading role in comedy movies to becoming a powerful actor who starred in movies with box office exceeding 20 billion, Shen Teng always knew his goal — — With his own comedy talent, he shapes every role in the past, present and future.

As he himself said in an interview with the film channel, "I think domestic comedy movies have always been in the golden age. As a comedian, I will always persist in and explore in this field and constantly challenge new heights."

Yichexun Recently, the brand-new cruising model Hydra-Glide Revival of Harley-Davidson was officially introduced into the domestic market, with a new car price of 355,800 yuan and a global limited edition of 1,750 units.

Each car of Harley Hydra-Glide Revival is equipped with a unique number, which is enough to show its precious value. The vehicle uses a red and white color scheme, the body is decorated with a large number of chrome-plated elements, and the seat cushion adopts a fringed leather single seat cushion with white stitching and red contrast color sewing, with a leather and vinyl saddle bag, which not only highlights the retro style, but also has the practicality of long-distance travel.

With a six-speed gearbox, it can provide Harley’s pure surging power.

The car uses a 16-inch steel wire auxiliary pulley and a disc brake with a front 300mm and a rear 292mm, and the rest is mechanically similar to the Heritage Classic 114.

In fact, this car was sold overseas in March this year, and it was said that it was limited in the world, but it was not officially introduced to China until half a year later. After the introduction, it still responded to Harley’s consistent style, high-profile and grandiose to the extreme, but it was not popular because of its high price. This kind of car itself is in short supply, and it is still very collectible.

Friends who have seen Transformers should know that when an autobot turns into a robot, it is really cool. In reality, there is also a brand that combines cars with robots, that is, Extreme Yue, its first product pure electric SUV— Extreme Yue 01 is positioned as the world’s first AI car robot.

This marketing idea is actually good, but unfortunately, compared with the cool name of the automobile robot, the market performance of Extreme Vietnam is quite impressive. From October 27th to November 26th, the sales volume of Extreme Yue 01 was 421 vehicles, which was seriously inconsistent with the official propaganda that the order volume of Extreme Yue 01 exceeded 15,000 vehicles after 24 hours of listing. I don’t know whether it was propaganda "water injection" or delivery delayed.

On November 30th, the official of Extreme Yue Automobile announced that the price of the whole system of Extreme Yue 01 would be lowered by 30,000 yuan, and the adjusted price would be 219,900 ~ 309,900 yuan. For the old car owners, the official directly provided cash compensation without backstab.

After being listed for more than one month, the company’s official price dropped by 30,000 yuan in the year 2001. What is certain is that the reaction speed of the company is still very rapid.After the price reduction, it will also greatly promote the sales volume, but the expectation that Xia Yiping will sell 10 thousand vehicles a month will still be out of reach, or impossible, impossible at all.

Because, as a media person, I didn’t see the media publicity and forwarding in my circle of friends for such a big thing. I think the biggest problem with Extreme Yue 01 is that I have reduced the price by 30,000, why many people still don’t know this brand!

From concentration to extreme leap, Xia Yiping’s unresolved problem is still brand awareness.

"Since the project was established in 2021, we have always wanted to have a fight with Tesla." Xia Yiping, CEO of Jiyue Automobile, once said. From these speeches, it can be seen that all along, Extreme Vietnam has never hesitated to take Tesla as a competitor.

However, there are so many new forces making cars in front of Tesla’s door, can they rank high?

Compared with many new forces who came all the way at first in ridicule, the background of the ultra-yue born with the golden key is actually quite cracked. The predecessor of the ultra-yue brand is "Jidu", which is a brand of cooperation between Geely Holding Group and Baidu Group. Geely holds 55% of the shares and Baidu holds 45%. The domestic traditional car brands and the Internet brands of Head are working hand in hand, which is a bit like Aouita where Changan, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and Huawei cooperate. Want money, money, technology, technology, and people.

It’s such a respectable and rich background, but the popularity of Yuejie brand is far from enough. It’s rare to see Geely’s publicity and Baidu’s platform, and its founders are plain and lack of traffic. They have never gone out of the circle through marketing, out-of-line remarks and eye-catching, nor have they established their popularity by slow and steady steps like Aouita and Lantu. The only event that can make people discuss here seems to be renaming, and the publicity process of brands and models is even more traditional than traditional.

According to the data released by car home Research Institute, there are 75 new cars on the market in October, of which 42 are smart new cars, accounting for 56%, and the smart new cars on the market are generally concentrated at the price of 200,000-300,000, while the models that compete with Yuejie 01 are Tesla Model Y, Wujie M5, Aouita 11 and Zhiji LS6. There is no need to compare them with the top-flow Tesla Model Y, even if it is Wenjie M5, Aouita 11 and Zhiji LS6.

If you are not in the industry, you will generally not know that there is a car brand; If you are not a veteran, you won’t know that there is a model of the Extreme Yue 01 until now.

After the price reduction, the ultra-01 looks ok, but the opponents of Tesla MODEL Y are really too curly!

As the first product under the brand, Geely and Baidu have not been stingy to come up with their most advanced technology in the ultra-yue 01!

Geely has come up with a well-known SEA vast architecture platform jointly developed with Volvo, including Volvo’s top-end EM90 model and Extreme Krypton 001, all of which are masterpieces of SEA vast architecture. Extreme Yue 01 locates medium and large SUV, with the length, width and height of 4853mm, 1990mm and 1611mm respectively, and the wheelbase of 3,000 mm. This data is more advantageous than Zhiji LS6 and Tucki G6, and the wind resistance of the whole vehicle is only 0.249. The industry’s exclusive 35.6-inch 6k ultra-clear integrated screen+Qualcomm 8295 chip makes the ultra-Yue 01 have a very smooth interactive experience. The mid-high models are equipped with 100kwh batteries from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, and the CLTC cruising range can reach 660-720km.

Baidu, on the other hand, has given great support to the new car in intelligent driving. In the field of autonomous driving, Baidu Apollo’s advanced autonomous driving is a benchmark in the industry, and its L4-level operating test mileage has accumulated over 60 million kilometers nationwide. Extreme Yue is the only smart car brand with fully empowered Apollo’s advanced autonomous driving ability. From the hardware point of view, Extreme Yue 01 is equipped with two NVIDIA Orin chips, and its AI computing power is 508 TOPS.

Excellent pure electric architecture, advanced intelligent configuration, and excellent intelligent driving ability. At first glance, the strength of Extreme Yue 01 is quite good.

However, in the pure electric market of more than 200,000 grades, there are many competing products in the market, and the intensity is fierce. Even Tengshi N7, with the aura of the world’s largest new energy manufacturer and the cover of BYD, can barely make ends meet. If there is any serious injury to the product, it will be even more difficult to gain a foothold. For example, the 800V or quasi-800V fast charge is almost rotten, but the ultra-01 is still using 400V V.Although Xia Yiping said that the charging efficiency of 800V and 400V cars is randomly compared in Shanghai, there is no obvious difference. Users will waste more time looking for 800V electric piles than looking for a 400V charging pile, but consumers all know that I don’t have to, and you can’t help it.

Write it at the back:

In fact, it’s quite regrettable for the brand. It can be said that it is a good hand and is currently playing badly. But for the future, we also hope that after the price reduction, Extreme Vietnam 01 can find its own position in time and get out of today’s quagmire as soon as possible.
