A canal shows the creativity of Jiangsu’s humanistic beauty.

  Millennium Canal, rushing endlessly.

  In June 2017, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made an important instruction that "the Grand Canal is a precious legacy left by our ancestors and a mobile culture, which should be well protected, inherited and utilized". This has pointed out the direction and provided guidance for promoting the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt.

Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Suzhou Hanshan Temple Section

  Jiangsu is the province with the longest river along the Grand Canal, the largest number of cities flowing through it, the richest canal heritage and the largest number of sites listed in the World Cultural Heritage. The Grand Canal in China is about 3,200 kilometers long and the Jiangsu section is 790 kilometers long. It can be said that the Grand Canal is a living exhibition hall of Jiangsu culture, a bright pearl of world heritage and a beautiful green corridor.

  Over the past three years, Jiangsu has kept in mind the entrustment of the General Secretary, made every effort to promote the construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt, and made three major articles: careful protection, effective inheritance and rational utilization. On the basis of protection, efforts will be made to promote the innovative inheritance and creative transformation of the Grand Canal culture, endow the Grand Canal with new characteristics of the times and cultural values, and make a river show the beauty of culture, ecology, construction and people’s life, thus writing a contemporary chapter for the Millennium Grand Canal.

  Let’s take a look at the wonderful cases in 11 cities along the Jiangsu section of the Grand Canal — —

  Xuzhou: Huaihai Campaign Martyrs Memorial Tower (Pavilion)

  The Xuzhou section of the Grand Canal is 201 kilometers long. Prehistoric civilization, Chu-Han culture, red culture and celebrity culture are listed on both sides of the canal like pearls. During War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Xuzhou was an important guerrilla area of the famous anti-Japanese armed canal detachment active on both sides of the canal; On January 10, 1949, the 65-day Huaihai Campaign ended successfully in Xuzhou, killing more than 555,000 people. Today’s Huaihai Campaign Memorial Hall is a famous patriotic education base and a red tourist attraction in China, and it has been selected as one of the 100 "classic red tourist attractions" in China. The names of 28,396 martyrs are engraved in the stele gallery of the Martyrs Memorial Tower in the museum. Since 2014, the Memorial Hall has started the "Rescue Interview Project for the Witnesses of Huaihai Campaign", which lasted for three years, covering 729 witnesses, collecting more than 1,200 pieces of historical cultural relics and sorting out 2 million words of oral materials. The narrator went to colleges and universities to give a lecture on "Red Stories on Campus" and went into primary and secondary schools to tell red stories, with a total of 160,000 students being taught.

  Suqian: Longwang Temple Palace

  In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River for six times and stayed in Suqian for five times, which gave him the praise of "the benefits of being the first mountain in spring". Today, the Qianlong Palace, where Qianlong stayed at that time, originally named "Building Longwang Temple in An Lan", is still well preserved. It is the most precious architectural cultural heritage in Suqian and the only world cultural heritage site in Suqian section of the Grand Canal.

  Zaohe Ancient Town, where Longwang Temple Palace is located, is an important town in the south wing of the Grand Canal. In recent years, Suqian has invested about 150 million yuan to protect and develop the history and culture of Zaohe Ancient Town as a whole. The Longwang Temple Palace has been protected and repaired in three phases, and the fallen colored paintings have been repaired. In August this year, the construction of "Zaohe Dragon Town" was started. The overall layout of "One Source, Three Veins and Ten Crossing" highlighted the immersion experience, performing road show and cultural exhibition, and recorded and told the long canal story in Suqian. The ancient Longwang Temple Palace glowed with new vitality of the times. Visitors here will fully appreciate the water control culture, shipping culture and royal cruise culture of Suqian section of the Grand Canal.

  Huaian: Shuishang Interchange

  In the Ming Dynasty, Pan Jixun, a water conservancy expert, led the construction of dikes on the east bank of Hongze Lake to raise the water level, so as to form a torrent to wash away the sediment deposited in Qingkou of the Yellow River. Over the past 400 years, more than 40 water conservancy projects have been formed here, including dikes, gates, dams, weirs and diversion piers. Nowadays, when people come to the water interchange in the southern suburbs of Huai ‘an, they can see the wonders of the Huaihe River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. The Huaihe River flows to the Yellow Sea from west to east on the riverbed below, hanging 6 meters above it, and ships shuttle on the north-south Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is a busy scene. The ancient canal and advanced modern technology meet here, and the wisdom of water control of China people for more than 400 years is presented here.

  The Grand Canal has been flowing for thousands of years, forming a golden waterway with flowing gold and silver, and also accumulating historical and cultural relics on both sides of the strait. The annual throughput of Huai ‘an Shiplock is nearly 290 million tons, ranking first in China. Huai ‘an took the lead in opening port container transportation in Subei Canal, with annual throughput accounting for 75% of the province’s inland rivers.

  Yangzhou: China Grand Canal Museum

   As the origin city of the Grand Canal and the leading city for applying for the World Heritage of the Canal, Yangzhou was born and prospered because of the Canal.

  In May, 2018, Zhang Jinqiu, academician of China Academy of Engineering and chief architect of China Northwest Architectural Design and Research Institute, led a team to visit Sanwan in Yangzhou, and personally drew the first planning pattern of China Grand Canal Museum. In May 2019, the China Grand Canal Museum started construction in Yangzhou.

  The whole design scheme consists of the museum and the main tower. The main tower with four corners (Universiade Tower) is slender and beautiful, and together with the adjacent Wenfeng Tower and Tianzhong Tower, it forms the landscape effect of "three towers reflecting three bays". The boat-shaped museum building incorporates sail elements, and the top floor is connected with the Universiade Tower through a covered bridge with Changhong lying wave image. The whole building has the ancient charm of tang style, suggesting that Yangzhou once had a prosperous scene of "promoting one and benefiting two" in the Tang Dynasty.

  At present, the exhibition contents of China Grand Canal Museum are under intense arrangement, which will include the 2,500-year development of Sui and Tang Grand Canal, Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and East Zhejiang Canal, and it is expected to open to the outside world by the end of 2021.

  Zhenjiang: Xijindu

  Xijindu has been a battleground for military strategists since the Three Kingdoms, and it is also the first stop for northerners to cross the river south. With the change of time, Guguazhou on the north bank has all collapsed in the river, while sedimentation has begun on the south bank. Xijin Gudu is now more than 300 meters away from the Yangtze River. Although the ancient ferry is no longer there, the "living fossil"-like ancient scenery of Xijindu has been basically preserved.

  Today’s Xijindu is both ancient and new: in terms of ancient times, Xijindu historical and cultural block is the most preserved, concentrated and well-preserved area in Zhenjiang, and many buildings are called "orphans" in Jiangsu and even the whole country. Today, cutting-edge artists and young craftsmen creatively integrate the trend culture into the Millennium ancient street. In 2020, Xijindu created an art life festival that lasted for five months. At the same time, Xijindu also implanted new formats such as cultural creativity, water market and interactive experience, and projects and activities such as music, film and television blocks and national wind music festivals, reappearing the bustling scene of "home from the sky, the clouds are sailing". 

  Changzhou: Qingguo Lane

Qingguo Lane (Photo courtesy of vision china)

  Qingguo Lane, known as "the first lane of celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River", is one of the most important cultural landmarks in Changzhou section of the Grand Canal. Qingguo Lane is not long, but there are countless outstanding figures between the white walls and the high walls and deep courtyards: in the Ming and Qing Dynasties alone, there were nearly 100 scholars from Qingguo Lane; In modern times, industrialist Sheng Xuanhuai, novelist Li Boyuan, patriotic industrialist Liu Guojun, master of Chinese studies Zhao Yuanren, linguist Zhou Youguang and other famous people all walked out of Qingguo Lane.

  Deep curtilage compound is adjacent, flowing water sets each other off, and the depths of the alley are faint. On April 29th last year, the historical block of Qingguoxiang, which carried half of Changzhou’s history, was officially opened. Qingguoxiang Cultural Memory Museum, Zhou Youguang Library (Zhou Youguang’s former residence), Changzhou League History Museum, Tang Jingchuan Memorial Hall and Shi Liang’s former residence were opened one after another. The A side of Qingguo Lane, based on inheritance and taking culture as the soul, has formed the Changzhou Cultural Museum community; The B side of Qingguo Lane, based on the "future", innovates the format and content around the futurity, cosmopolitanism and times of the canal.

  Wuxi: Qingming Bridge

  More than 3,200 years ago, Taibo Benwu settled in Meili, and the oldest canal in the south of the Yangtze River, Bodu Port, was dug in the historical and cultural block of Qingming Bridge, which reached its peak in the Ming Dynasty.

  The Qingming Bridge block, where boats and boats come and go constantly, has formed a unique cultural feature of the streets in the south of the Yangtze River, convenient conditions for water transportation, and nurtured the civilization of China’s national industry and commerce.

  The rice wharf and cloth wharf, which were developed and prospered by the canal in those years, are now full of creative and intelligent industries, with more than 2,000 Internet of Things enterprises and an output value of more than 200 billion yuan, which has become the highlight moment of Wuxi’s science and technology industry. In recent years, Wuxi has won the brand title of "Jiangnan Water Lane Canal Out of Print" by hosting a number of grand events such as the second Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Expo. Qingming Bridge, Nanchang Street, nanzenji, Xiaolou Lane, Chong’an Temple, Jieguanting Lane, Huangbudun, Beijian Park and other scattered scenic spots are "beaded into a chain and closed into a ring", showing the beautiful scenery of "a thousand-mile canal alone".

  Suzhou: Shantang Street

  A history of canals, a picture of bustling Suzhou. The Suzhou section of the Grand Canal was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was basically finalized in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In 825 AD, Bai Juyi arrived in Suzhou for secretariat. Seeing that the Huqiu River road was impassable, he dug the Shantang River and built a "water expressway" between the ancient city of Suzhou, Huqiu and the Grand Canal. Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, and every time he went out along the Lishantang to Huqiu. In 2014, the 14.2-square-kilometer Suzhou ancient city was listed as a world cultural heritage.

  From Qilishantang to Huqiu, the rich canal resources have made "the first street in Gusu" prosperous for thousands of years. In recent years, Suzhou has built a "Suzhou model" of the Grand Canal cultural belt around protection, inheritance and utilization, and took the lead in setting up the first Grand Canal cultural tourism development fund in the province, establishing a key project library of the Grand Canal cultural belt, inheriting the context in a way of "living protection" and showing the cultural essence of the south of the Yangtze River. Today, Shantang Historic District has become a tourist punch-in resort, and the Kunqu Opera special activities staged in Huqiu Scenic Area have become a new business card for Soviet-style life.

  About 4 kilometers west of Lishui District, Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, dug the Rouge River to communicate the water transportation between Nanjing and Zhejiang. The Rouge River is 7.5 kilometers long, and hundreds of thousands of migrant workers burned stones to dig the river, which took ten years to build. The Rouge River runs through the mountains, leaving a rare spectacle in the world — — Tianshengqiao In 2017, the Canal Culture Exhibition Hall located in the scenic spot — — Tianshengqiao Museum was officially opened to the public. Around the cultural heritage of water transportation and the historical and cultural resources along the canal, the exhibition hall set up a number of interactive exhibition areas, taking cruise ships as the visiting carrier and relying on the 5D interactive experience technology, so that visitors can feel the digging history of Rouge River in an immersive way.

  In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, dug a salt river from Panxi in Rugao in the east to Zhuyuwan Scenic Spot in Yangzhou in the west. YugutransportThe Fengcheng River, which is connected with the salt river in the same strain, is the moat of Taizhou and the most well-preserved and largest ancient city river in China. As night falls, boating on Fengcheng River is a project that tourists must "punch in" when they come to Taizhou. Boating on the river, Wanghailou, Meiyuan, Liuyuan, Taoyuan, Wenchang Pavilion and Wenfeng Tower … … Multicolored lights outline the pavilions on both sides of the strait, the sound of paddles and the green water. Who can not be drunk?

  The night of Fengcheng River, the more beautiful it is. Taking Wanghailou as the prospect, the 3D water curtain show was staged on the water stage of Sanshuiwan, creating a dazzling fantasy effect on the ancient canal. In Wenlv block of Jing ‘an Road, night tours, night markets, night plays, night shows and night banquets light up the night economy along the canal, where people experience slow life on water, culture and food, and feel the unique charm of this canal water city.

1895 Cultural and Creative Industrial Park (Photo courtesy of the Park)

  The canal has given Nantong a long history of cultural spirit and brought it modern civilization. In 1895, Zhang Jian, a patriotic industrialist and educator, took a fancy to the superior geographical position of Tangzha ancient town near the canal and built a large cotton textile enterprise — — Dasheng cotton mill, and set up a series of subsidiary industries with this as the axis.

  Today, Tangzha Ancient Town has become the vanguard in the new era to carry forward the spiritual connotation of the canal and highlight the self-confidence of Jianghai culture. The mottled factory turned into a cultural and creative industrial park in 1895, where the oil mill and paper mill attached to Dasheng Cotton Mill were located. The industrial park has attracted more than 40 creative design, digital media, advertising and video production companies to settle in, and has held various literary exhibitions for a long time. In the past few years, countless creative exhibitions have been held here: from root carving to Ming and Qing furniture, from book tickets to ink and oil paints, from home textile products to jade carving pendants, and even a small-scale tasting meeting was held in cross-border cooperation with Sam Supermarket. Thanks to the 1895 Cultural and Creative Industrial Park, the development of Tangzha ancient town is more vigorous and its external attraction is constantly improved.

  A law

  Since January 1st, 2020, the first local regulation "Decision of the Standing Committee of Jiangsu Provincial People’s Congress on Promoting the Construction of the Grand Canal Cultural Belt" has been implemented in China, providing legal protection for cultural heritage protection, adhering to the ecological bottom line and expanding the cultural tourism industry. As the only pilot province of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park in China, Jiangsu has also innovatively compiled the Construction Plan of Jiangsu Section of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park, which promotes the Grand Canal culture to show new charm and glow with new vitality through the organic docking of historical value and practical value.

  An exposition

  The Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Expo, which has been held twice so far, integrates the cultural tourism resources along the Grand Canal in Jiangsu Province, and strives to build a platform for the integration and development of cultural tourism in cities along the Grand Canal, a platform for the promotion of cultural tourism products and a platform for sharing a better life. The Expo invited thousands of international friends to the cities along the Jiangsu Canal to experience the canal culture and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the canal, to show the rich cultural heritage of the Grand Canal, the beautiful life at present and the creative energy of the integration and development of cultural tourism, and to introduce the cultural tourism products of the Grand Canal to all parts of the world.

  A forum

  Since 2006, the annual World Canal City Forum has been successfully held for the 14th time in Jiangsu. The forum organized more than 200 participants, including mayors of domestic canal cities, canal managers, researchers and enthusiasts, diplomatic envoys of well-known foreign countries where canals are located, and representatives of international organizations in China. Mayors of foreign canal cities, representatives of well-known canal management institutions and experts and scholars of canal research institutions jointly discussed the paths and countermeasures for the sustainable prosperity and development of the cultural tourism industry in canal cities.

  A fund

  At the theme forum of "Canal Culture" of the first Yangtze River Delta International Cultural Industry Expo, Jiangsu set up the first Grand Canal Cultural Tourism Development Fund in China with an initial scale of 20 billion yuan. Through the coordinated linkage of mother and child funds, it made overall plans for the protection, inheritance and utilization of the Grand Canal culture, focusing on supporting the construction of the Grand Canal National Cultural Park and the integration of cultural tourism.

  A series of books 

  It took more than 100 experts eight years to compile, and the first China Canal Annals — — China Canal Records was officially published by Jiangsu Phoenix Publishing Media Group. On September 27th last year, this 14-million-word imperial masterpiece was unveiled for the first time at the 2019 World Canal City Forum and World Canal Conference, which is also the largest canal publishing project in China’s history.

  An opera

  The opera River of Transport is a work to fill the "blank" of Jiangsu opera for fifteen years. Since its inception in 2014, it has sung from the side of the Grand Canal to the lake of Geneva, and its domestic and international tours have been welcomed by Chinese and foreign audiences. Based on the opening and navigation of the Grand Canal and the change of dynasties in Sui and Tang dynasties, the drama weaves a historical drama that is soul-stirring, alarming and can release positive energy.

The company earned 1 billion in the stock market for two months and was fined 5.6 billion.

CCTV News: Recently, CCTV reporters, together with the Inspection Bureau of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, successfully investigated and dealt with a huge stock manipulation case after months of unannounced visits.

After investigation, Beibadao Group and its actual controller used 1 billion yuan of funds to manipulate the stock prices of several sub-new shares in a short period of two months, and made a profit of 1 billion yuan. The CSRC intends to impose a fine of 5.67 billion yuan on the enterprise and its actual controller, and the case has become the largest stock market manipulation case investigated by the CSRC.

Company involved

Company involved

From February to May, 2017, Beibadao Group and its actual controllers set up and controlled a trading team with a clear division of labor, raised billions of yuan through a number of fund intermediaries, used 301 securities accounts, and used abnormal trading techniques such as frequent reverse transactions, intraday price hikes, and rapid daily limit closures to speculate on multiple sub-new shares, which was suspected of manipulating the market.

Inspectors of CSRC:After our preliminary investigation, we found that the related accounts involved were actually manipulated and controlled by a Beibadao Group, a private logistics group in Xiamen, whose main business is railway transportation.

Small-cap stocks with "ferocious" tactics have experienced ups and downs.

In February 2017, the sub-new shares of several banks led by "Jiangyin Bank" and "Zhangjiagang Bank" were collectively speculated, which caused great concern in the market.

A stock that has been manipulated for speculation.

A stock that has been manipulated for speculation.

Inspectors of CSRC:Take the behavior of Zhangjiagang as an example. It started to be listed on January 24th, and then we, the main manipulator, started to manipulate it in early February, that is, it just went on the market for a few days, using their capital advantages and shareholding advantages to earn chips in the hands of retail investors, and then after their chips reached a certain level, they attracted the follow-up funds in the market, and then they suddenly removed their chips, so that they could easily make quick money.

Second, raise huge sums of money to fund the one-stop service of the company

In the investigation, the inspectors of the CSRC also found that the principal of Beibadao Group’s one billion yuan was not their own, and they all found the so-called — — Fund-raising company.

Inspectors of CSRC:Mainly use some underground fund-raising intermediaries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to contact the fund-raiser. The fund-raiser will give these accounts and his own money to these fund-raising intermediaries, and then the fund-raising intermediaries will give them to the Beibadao Group, and then the Beibadao Group will use these accounts to manipulate the market. These fund-raisers here will get 10% of the fixed annualized income, and then the fund-raising intermediaries will generally get about 1% of the intermediary service fee, and the remaining excess income will be.

There are many accounts involved in the "busy" trading.

During the investigation, the inspectors of the CSRC saw rows of tables and chairs and some computers that had not been evacuated before in a villa of more than 1,000 square meters. It is reported that this is the private trading hall of Beiba Road. At the busiest time, at least 100 computers and more than 10 traders were engaged in illegal trading, and each trader controlled two or three stock accounts.

Inspectors of CSRC:In two months’ time, we just went to more than ten provinces and cities to visit the owners of these nominal accounts involved to determine whether they are using this account themselves or giving it to others.

Although the sources of funds are all over the world, the illegal funds earned by manipulating the stock market eventually fell into the private accounts of more than 10 financial personnel of Beibadao Group.

The CSRC interviewed the suspect for violent resistance to the law.

company personnel

Employees of the company involved violently resisted the law.

After basically grasping the criminal facts of Beibadao, the inspectors of the CSRC arrived at Beibadao Company, but the relevant personnel of the case refused to talk.

There is a conflict between the inspector of CSRC and the object of investigation.

The two ladies in the camera, one is the company treasurer and the other claims to be the legal representative. When the inspectors of the CSRC obtained the company’s financial information, they actually tore up the documents and even threw them out of the window.

Fined a fine of 5.67 billion yuan from the CSRC.

Inspectors of CSRC:The most typical harm of this case is that it has affected the fairness and justice of this market and caused great fluctuations in the market. I will plan to impose a top penalty on its Beibadao Group. So far, it is the case with the highest amount of administrative penalty imposed by the CSRC.

Official announcement! The general director group of "2021 Spring Festival Gala" of Central Radio and Television General Station announced.

  On the morning of August 10th, the Central Radio and Television General Station held the kick-off meeting of the 2021 Spring Festival Gala. Shen Haixiong, Vice Minister of Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, Director and Editor-in-Chief of the Central Radio and Television General Station, announced the list of directors for the 2021 Spring Festival Gala.

Jeikiy, a member of the editorial board of the Central Radio and Television General Station, presided over the meeting and made mobilization. Jiang Wenbo, Huang Chuanfang and Dong Weimin, the relevant leaders of the reception desk, attended.

  "Spring Festival Gala is my name, because my name contains spring." Director Chen Linchun, who has participated in more than ten Spring Festival Galas, has always had special feelings and beliefs about the Spring Festival Gala. He was the general director of 2011 cctv spring festival gala in 2008 and the general producer of the Spring Festival Gala from 2017 to 2020.

  "Spring Festival Gala" is not only a party, but also a feeling, the warmest companion on New Year’s Eve, and it is the wish of every "Spring Festival Gala" to make a new idea. Director Chen Linchun said that 2020 is an unusual year. Our country is firmly moving forward, and the people are United and bravely accepted the challenge. In this special period, every Chinese is looking forward to a reunion year, and it is still the expectation of the people of the whole country to celebrate the New Year. This mentality should be captured, and the people’s mood of expecting a better life should be grasped. This is indeed a big challenge for them, and every "Spring Festival Evening person" feels a great responsibility. Difficulties, pressures and the audience’s expectations for the Spring Festival Evening will run through the whole creative preparation process, which also encourages the Spring Festival Evening crew to produce a party that is "innocent of the times and loved by the audience" and presents unexpected surprises to the national audience.

  "Spring Festival Evening is a national stage, which should be an open, inclusive and diversified stage", and innovation and change have always been the creative topic of director Xia Yu. She was the director of the seven Spring Festival Galas and Lantern Festival Galas in 2005, 2006, 2009, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, and created Above the Waves, Youth Jumps, Confession Balloon, Best Stage and Happy Festival for the Spring Festival Gala with the spirit of integrity and innovation.

He always has a sense of quality products, innovative spirit and the idea of integrating media in his program creation. During the fight against the COVID-19 epidemic, Zou Wei, as the general director Yun, produced The Most Beautiful Struggled Youth — — May 4th Special Program in 2020, the program broke through the bottleneck of "cloud production", and the presentation of remote recording and exquisite packaging triggered a hot discussion on the whole network.

  Language programs have always been the focus of the audience’s concern, and it is not easy to sing this "highlight" well. "Every year, during the Spring Festival Gala, we hope that the audience can see themselves and their lives and have a real and cordial feeling." Director Zhao Yue was the director of language programs for the Spring Festival Gala from 2016 to 2020 for five consecutive years. The cross talk in 2016, My Wife in 2017, Advice in 2018, Here comes my son in 2019, Grandma and Mama in 2020, and other works that make the audience relish, all reflect the creative idea of "close to life and deepen the content" directed by Zhao Yue.

  Since 1983, "Spring Festival Evening" has accompanied the people of China for thirty-eight years, and "watching the Spring Festival Evening" has gradually become an indispensable New Year custom for the people of the whole country. With the changes of the times, the "Spring Festival Evening" is also constantly inheriting and innovating. What will this year’s "Spring Festival Evening" look like? I look forward to the general director team to bring you bright answers.

Large pharmaceutical companies start structural adjustment: Pfizer and Roche …

Source | Medical Economic News

workDifferentiate and correct

What is the core logic of the adjustment of multinational pharmaceutical companies? Recently, less than a month after Peng Zhenke returned to Pfizer, he announced a drastic adjustment of the organizational structure of Pfizer China, which became the focus of the industry, and all the heads of six business divisions competed for posts. Combined with the organizational changes and adjustments of Roche Pharmaceuticals, Huizhi Pharmaceuticals and other companies some time ago, the focus of the industry has shifted to issues such as purchasing with quantity and how to deal with foreign pharmaceutical companies driven by medical insurance negotiations.    

What is the core logic of the organizational structure adjustment of multinational pharmaceutical companies in the context of the changes in the pharmaceutical industry? How to treat the coping strategies of major companies? Is Pfizer’s competition for posts a big subversion of the existing employment rules in the industry? Let’s try to find the truth from the case analysis. 

01

Pfizer China replicates global architecture.

There are three main points of organizational change in China announced by Pfizer this time: First, six independent business divisions have been established, namely, hospital emergency, cancer, rare diseases, inflammation and immunity, vaccines and broad market. This setup is almost a replica of the company’s global structure in China. After the recent reorganization, Pfizer Global is divided into six business divisions: hospital emergency, oncology, rare diseases, inflammation and immunity, vaccines and internal medicine. The reason why Pfizer China has not only set up an internal medicine division is that the sales of corresponding products (mainly Ai Le Tuohe Changpei) in China are limited, which is not enough to support an independent division. The Broad Market Division has the characteristics of China, mainly covering the medical institutions in the county and even the lower market. Many multinational pharmaceutical companies, such as AstraZeneca and Sanofi, have proved the effectiveness of the strategy of Broad Market Division in practice.    

Second, set up a strategic innovation department. This is also a continuation of Pfizer’s global strategy. The core of Pfizer’s global growth strategy is "Bold Moves", which consists of five parts: release of human potential, innovative drug research and development, transition to market model, digital victory (mainly digitalization of drug research and development) and guiding policy dialogue, that is, bold action strategy. The establishment of the Strategic Innovation Department is closely related to the strategy of market model transformation. The core of this strategy is to solve the problem of patients’ ability to pay, which is also the core mission of the Strategic Innovation Department. After Pfizer divested its original research drugs and business, it focused on innovative drugs, especially drugs for tumors and rare diseases. These drugs are extremely expensive, and solving the problem of patients’ ability to pay (medical insurance, commercial insurance, charitable funding, etc.) is an important guarantee for product quality.    

Thirdly, the heads of the six business divisions that were not mentioned in the official website report but mentioned in many reports will all adopt the competitive employment system, and all employees who have served in Pfizer’s current position for more than 24 months can compete for employment without the prior approval of the superior manager. It is relatively common in domestic-funded enterprises that the heads of business departments compete for posts. Among them, the most famous case is that 7000 employees of Huawei resigned and re-competed for posts. This operation is very grounded and aims to activate the organizational potential. However, domestic pharmaceutical companies have hardly heard of any company taking this measure, and it is really admirable for Pfizer, as a multinational pharmaceutical company, to take this step.    

Previously, only two divisions of Pfizer had corresponding leaders, namely, the general manager in charge of anti-infection business and the general manager in charge of tumor and rare diseases business. After the reorganization, the anti-infection business was transferred to the hospital emergency business, and the tumor and rare diseases business was split into two business divisions: tumor and rare diseases. As a result, the position of the boss of four major business divisions is empty. Such organizational restructuring will have little impact on Pfizer’s senior management team in China. As a very senior professional manager, Peng Zhenke has successively taken charge of Bristol-Myers Squibb China, Sanofi China and Sanofi Jianzan Europe, and is very familiar with China’s culture and market competition environment, and has sufficient leadership and cultural adaptability to promote such organizational changes.    

However, this restructuring will inevitably weaken the roles of the chief operating officer and the vice president of marketing in the previous organizational structure. The chief operating officer set up by pharmaceutical companies is often trained as a presidential candidate. With the participation of Peng Zhenke and the establishment of the mechanism of six business divisions reporting directly to the president, the role of the chief operating officer has become subtle. At the same time, the positioning of the vice president of marketing in charge of cross-brand marketing strategy has also been split into various business divisions with the establishment of six business divisions, losing its independent value. The follow-up whereabouts of the two bosses are worthy of attention.

Huizhi embraces digitalization.

At the same time as Pfizer’s structural reform, it is also concerned about the new organizational structure of Roche Pharmaceutical and Huizhi not long ago. Roche set up a new product pipeline strategy team in China, reporting directly to the general manager of Roche Pharmaceuticals; Huizhizhe has set up two new teams, digital therapy and health management platform, both of which report directly to President Huizhi China.    

These two adjustments are adjustments to functional departments, which are much smaller than those made by Pfizer China to directly adjust the business team. Of course, Huizhi China completed the reorganization of the business team structure at the beginning of the company’s establishment in 2020, and set up three major organizations: the hospital division, the retail division and the business division, with great moves. Huizhi is a merger of Puqiang, which was spun off from Pfizer, and Mailan, a generic drug giant. The major shareholder is still Pfizer. It can be seen from these strategic measures of organizational structure of Pfizer and Huizhi that although Pfizer has faced challenges in the pipeline of new drug research and development in recent years (in fact, all the shortcomings have been made up by the successful cooperation with BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine), the strategic height and execution ability of commercial organization operation are still beyond that of other pharmaceutical companies.    

The core positioning of Roche’s new team is company strategy formulation, strategic insight and analysis, product excellent listing, disease field integration strategy and competitive information collection and analysis. The main line of these functions is to help Roche Pharmaceuticals communicate and connect with global product research and development, and help Roche China to better and faster introduce Roche’s global new products under the market changes that heavy products such as rituximab and trastuzumab for injection are gradually listed.    

Huizhi’s initiatives are full of innovative exploration and embrace digitalization. Among all multinational pharmaceutical companies, Huizhi has the best conditions to explore digital innovation and transformation. Different from other mainstream pharmaceutical companies positioning innovative drugs, Huizhi sells generic drugs and original research drugs, and the profit margin of these products will be gradually compressed to a very small level. For enterprises, it is necessary to improve operational efficiency and user experience by means of digitalization. Huizhi has previously explored the path of cooperating with Yiduyun Internet Hospital by setting up the Internet Medical Division. After quick trial and error, it quickly adjusted its direction to more specific digital therapy and health management. For Huizhi, a multinational pharmaceutical company with talent advantages, as long as the strategic direction is unwavering, it will certainly find a pragmatic and feasible landing path.

03

Where is the core logic of transformation?

In recent years, under the impetus of national policies, quantity purchasing and medical insurance reform, the traditional business model of multinational pharmaceutical companies relying on original drugs is no longer feasible, and multinational pharmaceutical companies have also abandoned the lucky mentality that "the policy is just testing the water" at the beginning of the quantity purchasing policy. Except for a few enterprises that position original research drugs and generic drugs like Huizhi, most multinational pharmaceutical companies have clearly recognized the situation and firmly turned to the positioning of innovative drug development. Although the strategic direction is clear, the research and development of innovative drugs often takes ten years, and it takes several years for existing drugs to be introduced into the China market from all over the world. Strategic adjustment often lasts for several years, and turbulence in the adjustment process is inevitable.    

For multinational pharmaceutical companies positioning innovative drugs, the impact of business structure adjustment is not great. The organizational structure model established by selling original research drugs as innovative drugs for many years is still feasible in the New Deal era. The mainstream structure is either a business division system that manages the market and sales, or a structure that separates the market from sales and sets up a separate marketing function. Both models have their rationality. The bosses of multinational pharmaceutical companies set the corresponding organizational structure according to people, time and situation, and adopt one of the two models, or a mixture or variant of the two models.    

Then, the introduction of new products, market access, patient’s ability to pay and digital organizational capabilities have also become the most concerned organizational design areas of multinational pharmaceutical companies besides marketing and sales capabilities. Needless to say, the China product pipeline strategy team of Roche Pharmaceuticals is a typical case. Another case, for example, AstraZeneca set up a NPP(New Product Planning) team under the Ministry of Business, and some teams even gave NPP leaders the level of executive director, which shows the importance attached to new product introduction.    

Whether the product can enter the national medical insurance and how to complete the product entering the hospital as soon as possible after entering the medical insurance has become the key to the volume of new products after listing. Therefore, it has become an organizational design favored by multinational pharmaceutical companies in recent years to open up cross-team government affairs, market access and even major customer teams. This is probably the background of the times when Bian Xin, who is in charge of market access, was able to take the helm of Roche Pharmaceuticals. In the past, this channel was only open to candidates who had been vice presidents of the business department. The importance of patients’ ability to pay is related to the fact that cancer drugs and rare diseases drugs have become the main research and development directions of innovative pharmaceutical companies. In addition to national medical insurance, how to build a multi-level medical security system through charitable projects and business insurance cooperation has become the key. However, at present, the ability to pay mainly depends on national medical insurance, while charitable donations mainly rely on cooperation with large foundations and associations. Many of these abilities are placed in government affairs or access-related teams. A few multinational pharmaceutical companies also have some positions in charge of commercial insurance, mainly in government affairs or access teams. Pfizer’s separate placement in the Strategic Innovation Department is a relatively innovative move.    

Of course, digitalization is also an area that attracts more attention. Many companies, such as AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Merck, etc., have set up vice-president posts to take charge of digital related work. However, for multinational companies that locate innovative drugs, the direct help of digitalization to business is not as direct as the previous capabilities. Looking forward to the success of digital transformation in companies like Huizhi, it will provide more learning output for innovative pharmaceutical companies.

Castro in Marquez’s eyes: What he wants to do most is to "hide in the corner"

Fidel Castro (left) and Garcia Marquez

On April 17th, 2014, Nobel Prize in Literature Prize winner and Colombian writer Garcí a Má rquez passed away. On November 25, 2016, Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro passed away. One was a great writer in the 20th century, and the other was a great revolutionary in the 20th century. Their friendship lasted for a lifetime.

The friendship between Castro and Marquez can be traced back to 1948. At that time, Marquez was studying at the University of Bogota, and Castro went to attend international conferences as a representative of Cuban students. The riots broke out in Colombia because of the assassination of the left-wing presidential candidate. Although Marquez and Castro only passed by in the parade, they all regarded this historical moment as the basis of friendship.

The close relationship between Marquez and Castro has caused dissatisfaction among many writers and friends, but Marquez did not agree. He once said: "It is far more important for Latin America to maintain my relationship with Castro than to break with him."

In 2002, Castro wrote an article in Colombia’s Change magazine, saying that he hoped to be a writer like Marquez in the afterlife. Marquez also talked about the Castro he knew on many occasions.

Fidel Castro and Garcia Marquez

Colombian Times once published an article by Garcí a Má rquez entitled Fidel I Know:

He has extraordinary ability to control language and writing, attractive personality charm, and generate inspiration at any time is his unique style. Reading all kinds of books reflects that he has a wide range of interests. In order to warn people that smoking is harmful to health, he set an example and gave up his hobby for many years. He likes to make recipes with a scientific attitude. He keeps exercising and swimming for hours every day to keep in good health. He is patient, disciplined and imaginative. He said that learning to rest is as important as learning to work.

He was tired of talking, but took it as a rest. He is good at writing and likes writing. The greatest thrill of his life is adventure. The impromptu forum seems to be his best place to play. His opening voice is always very small, and the direction he faces is always uncertain, but he can use the flashing lights to win his attention bit by bit until he catches the audience with a firm and powerful voice. He has an irresistible and overwhelming manner. He is an absolute anti-dogmatist.

It is his unique political ability to foresee the development of a thing and its consequences. However, this rare ability of others is not expressed by imagination, but the result of his mature reason and decisive judgment. His best assistant is his own memory, and his extraordinary memory has been fully demonstrated in his wonderful speeches and even private conversations.

He is a frugal man, a man with greedy dreams and an old-fashioned formal education. He is cautious in his words and decisive in his actions, and is good at catching any novel ideas. I think this is the Fidel I know. 

He dreamed that Cuban scientists could finally find anti-cancer drugs. He created a foreign policy with world power in a country far smaller than his biggest enemy. He firmly believes that the greatest success of mankind is to form a good consensus, and only morality can change the world and push the wheel of history forward, not matter. (March 29, 2007, Xinhuanet)

Fidel Castro and Garcia Marquez

Marquez once published an article in the Cuban newspaper Granma, talking about Castro he knew:

He (Castro) is a man with extraordinary patience, superior opinions and a passion for fantasy, and at the same time he pursues iron discipline. His vision is global. He has attractive power. He always gets to the bottom of problems. He can always inspire generate at any time. He reads books extensively, which reflects his taste in life. In order to quit smoking, he never touched tobacco again. Even when cooking, he strictly follows the scientific spirit. In order to keep in good health, he keeps exercising for several hours every day and often goes swimming in the water. Invincible patience, iron discipline and superman’s imagination let him swim in a world invisible to the naked eye.

Castro’s attitude towards failure (even small things in daily life) seems to follow this logic: he will never admit failure and will never stop until he wins.

He has a super memory, and he is also very good at using it (even to the point of abuse). Whether in public speech or private conversation, he shows his super argument ability, and his quick and accurate response is unbelievable. He greedily obtained information and chewed and digested it. Even during breakfast, he can watch at least 200 pages of news. He will find the slightest contradiction in other people’s casual wording. He is a greedy reader. He is willing to read any newspaper at any time.

In 1960, Marquez, Castro and ernesto guevara.

He never refuses to answer any questions, no matter how provocative, and he never loses patience. Someone tried to hide some facts in order not to worry him too much, but in fact he couldn’t hide them. He once said to an official who tried to do this: "You are hiding the truth from me in order to make me worry less, but once I find out, I will die because they accumulate too much to handle and face." The most serious thing is to lie to cover up the shortcomings, because behind the success of the revolution in politics, science, sports and culture, there is a huge bureaucratic force, which always affects people’s daily life, especially the happiness of the domestic people.

I know that if he lives in a different way, then his life will be more time. When I saw him under heavy pressure for all kinds of things that seemed to have nothing to do with him, I asked him what he wanted to do most in this world. He immediately replied, "hide in the corner." (Oriental Morning Post, April 18, 2014)

Break through 10 trillion yuan, a record high! Focus on industry, private enterprises have made outstanding achievements in import and export.

  CCTV News:The General Administration of Customs recently announced that in the first quarter of 2024, China’s import and export scale exceeded 10 trillion yuan for the first time in the same period, and the growth rate of import and export reached a new high in six quarters. Among them, the import and export of private enterprises maintained double-digit growth, with outstanding achievements. In the first quarter, the import and export of private enterprises in China was 5.53 trillion yuan, up by 10.7%, accounting for 54.3% of the total import and export value, accounting for half of the total foreign trade value in the first quarter of the country.

  The "intelligence" of a pair of sports shoes

  Private economy is a new force to promote Chinese modernization and an important foundation for high-quality development. In Fujian, when it comes to the private economy, Jinjiang will definitely be mentioned. As one of the origins of China’s private economy, Jinjiang currently has 96,000 private enterprises, accounting for more than 97% of local enterprises, and its output value, tax revenue and jobs account for over 90%.

  In a sports shoes production base in Jinjiang, the reporter saw a pair of "ultra-lightweight" running shoes of about 200 grams. According to the person in charge of production, every weight reduction of 1 gram will reduce the physical consumption of athletes, thus improving the performance of the competition.

  Su Chengyu is the head of a sports shoe fabric manufacturer in Jinjiang. He showed the reporter a newly designed sports shoe fabric with China traditional cultural elements.

  Su Chengyu introduced that a pair of sports shoes must go through at least 100 processes, from yarn, cloth, soles to finished products, which can be quickly found within a radius of 50 kilometers in Jinjiang.

  This traditional weaving enterprise has continuously increased its investment in smart manufacturing in recent years, and now it has grown into a national-level manufacturing single champion enterprise.

  Walking into Su Chengyu’s 5G smart workshop, he suddenly entered a "future factory". The whole process is digitized from visual inspection, automatic cloth finding, automatic production scheduling system and automatic logistics distribution system at the production end. Su Chengyu introduced that this intelligent workshop has been recognized as an excellent application scenario of national intelligent manufacturing by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

  From "traditional factory" to "future factory", from traditional industry enterprises to leading enterprises with new quality productivity, the digital transformation of this enterprise is a microcosm of the high-tech and intelligent traditional industries in Jinjiang.

  In the first quarter, the import and export of private enterprises in Jinjiang increased by 46.2% year on year.

  According to the latest statistics of Quanzhou Customs, in the first quarter of 2024, Jinjiang’s foreign trade import and export was 21.83 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.5%, which was 35.5 percentage points higher than the national growth rate. Among them, the import and export of private enterprises in Jinjiang was 16.47 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 46.2%.

  RCEP Releases Policy Dividend to Stimulate New Motive Force of Foreign Trade

  In June 2023, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) came into full force for 15 signatories, further helping private enterprises in China to enhance their international competitiveness.

  As a front-line customs officer, one of Ye Jueling’s important tasks is to visit private enterprises in the area under her jurisdiction, understand the trade needs of enterprises in time, and guide enterprises to make good use of foreign trade policy dividends.

  Ye Yuling introduced that in the first quarter of 2024, the number of applications for RCEP certificates of origin in Quanzhou reached 1,074, an increase of 18.28% year-on-year, and the total value of visas exceeded 350 million yuan. In other words, foreign trade enterprises in Quanzhou can enjoy more than 5.3 million yuan in tariff concessions in importing countries, benefiting more than 200 foreign trade enterprises.

  News link: RCEP certificate of origin

  Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) is a free trade agreement covering the world’s largest population and the largest economic and trade scale. More than 90% of goods trade in the region will eventually achieve zero tariffs.

  The certificate of origin is equivalent to a "coupon", and the holder can enjoy preferential trade treatment among member countries, including reducing or exempting tariffs. These certificates are usually issued by the customs of the exporting country or the CCPIT, and have a unique number, which is an important certificate for export commodities to enjoy tariff preferences in FTA abroad.

  Jinjiang people love to fight and fight to win.

  In July 2023, "Continuous innovation and development ‘ Jinjiang experience ’ " It was written into Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Development and Growth of Private Economy. On the first working day in 2024, the "First Meeting of the New Year" of the National Development and Reform Commission organized and held a conference in Jinjiang to innovate and develop "Jinjiang Experience" to promote the high-quality development of the private economy. Under the guidance of "Jinjiang Experience", how can Jinjiang’s private economy achieve high-quality development?

  Ye Yuling introduced that the biggest feature of private enterprises in Jinjiang is to focus on making a good product for a long time and truly achieve "specialization and novelty". Through technological innovation, this umbrella manufacturer took the lead in using environmental protection materials in the industry to achieve green production and sustainable development.

  Since 1994, this private enterprise has been engaged in the umbrella business, and has produced nearly 1 billion umbrellas in the past 30 years.

  Looking around the world, 30 out of every 100 swimsuits are from Jinjiang, and one out of every three umbrellas is produced by Jinjiang. Jinjiang’s production of sports shoes accounts for 20% of the global market, and exterior wall ceramics accounts for 60% of the whole country. Jinjiang people love to fight, and they will win if they love to fight. They innovate in hard work and develop in innovation.

  Concentrate on doing business, private enterprises develop and grow.

  As a big city of private economy, Jinjiang has continuously realized the high-quality development of foreign trade by making good use of the "golden key" of "Jinjiang experience".

  Many private enterprises in Jinjiang are practitioners and beneficiaries of "Jinjiang Experience". Under the guidance of "Jinjiang Experience", Jinjiang, with only 649 square kilometers, has 15 regional brands and 46 well-known trademarks, such as China Shoes Capital and World Jacket Capital. Many private enterprises in Jinjiang, which are renowned at home and abroad in different fields, have developed and become the industry benchmark of China.

  It started in Jinjiang, but not only in Jinjiang. Nowadays, in counties and cities of Quanzhou, the "Jinjiang experience" is passed down from generation to generation, and the private economy and social development resonate at the same frequency.

  At present, there are more than 10,000 private enterprises in shishi city, Quanzhou, and there are 228 private enterprises with an output value exceeding 100 million yuan. The output value created by the private economy accounts for 90% of the city’s total economic output.

  In Nan ‘an, Quanzhou, the private economy has grown from nothing to strength, contributing 90% of the city’s tax revenue, 95% of the regional GDP and 90% of the technological innovation achievements.

  In Anxi County, Quanzhou, more than 80% of tax revenue, more than 70% of regional GDP and more than 90% of R&D innovation, urban employment and the number of enterprises all come from the private economy.

  Zhang Wenyang, deputy director of the Fujian Provincial Development and Reform Commission, said that looking at the whole of Fujian, a large number of private enterprises started from industry, focusing on a pair of shoes, a piece of paper, a cup of tea, a piece of glass and a battery for a long time, which has become a model for China’s manufacturing industry to go global. The core essence of "Jinjiang Experience" is that "promising the government" and "effective market" should work in the same direction, so that private enterprises can concentrate on their industries and the private economy can achieve high-quality development.

2024 Spring Festival File: Past Winners Roll Comedy, "Bear Haunted" Carrying Science Fiction?

Wen | Zero One

As of the date of publication, six films have been announced to participate in the Spring Festival competition on the first day of the Lunar New Year, namely: Article 20 directed by Zhang Yimou, YOLO directed and acted by Jia Ling, Pegasus 2 directed by Han Han, The Movie Emperor directed by Ning Hao, Viva La Vida directed by Han Yan, and Boonie Bears: Time Twist, the tenth big film in the bear haunt series.

At present, the "number of people who want to see" on Cat’s Eye and Taobao Film platforms are as follows:

At present, Boonie Bears: Time Twist leads slightly on both platforms, followed by YOLO’s Pegasus 2, and The Movie Emperor was booked earlier, with more tags than Article 20, but it may not last until the release period, and Viva La Vida is currently at the bottom.

One of the highlights of the Spring Festival movies in 2024 is that the big winners of the past Spring Festival movies have come to a group building: Jia Ling, Zhang Yimou, Han Han and other masters have all won billions of first and second place achievements in the Spring Festival movies, and Hi, Mom in Jia Ling in 2021 has been the box office champion of the Spring Festival movies so far, and Zhang Yimou’s "Man Jiang Hong" last year ranked third in history with 4.544 billion; Han Han’s Flying Life in 2019 was 1.728 billion yuan, and the Crazy Alien directed by Ning Hao in the same year was 2.213 billion yuan. Both of these films still gained a good box office when The Wandering Earth far exceeded expectations.

YOLO has the most bonus on the topic of publicity in the early stage, with its own traffic attribute, and almost any action is on the hot search headlines at will, which is naturally full of topics. YOLO is adapted from the Japanese film Love of Hundred Dollars, which is a boxing film starring Hideki Ando in 2014 and won the Best Film Award for Japanese Painting at the 27th Tokyo International Film Festival. In the original, Hideki Ando moved from a decadent and depressed life to boxing. There is no routine inspirational tear routine in the film.

Jia Ling’s weight loss of 100 Jin is a huge stunt in itself. Even if he doesn’t follow the path of regular inspirational sports movies, YOLO will easily break out in the Spring Festival file. Secondly, Hi, Mom became the champion of the Spring Festival with the trend of dark horse. It is also one of the suspense whether Jia Ling can reproduce the myth of the Spring Festival box office after three years.
Han Han seems to have given up going his own way after Four Seas suffered a box office failure, hoping to reproduce the successful case of the Spring Festival comedy with the original cast. Shen Teng, Andrew, Wei Xiang, Zhang Benyu and other characters continued to join Pegasus 2, while young people such as Adam and Sean joined in the sequel. In April, 2023, the comedy film Unfamiliar Road in Life started with Adam, and the effect was quite good, with a box office of 1.1 billion+.Like Pegasus 2, this film was produced by Tingdong Film Company. Han Han may hope to play the comedy box office potential of a new generation of actors like Xiaoxing Yi.

In the past few films, we can see some literary projection of Han Han’s personal life experience and sentiment, but Pegasus 2 is probably Han Han’s first pure commercial film, especially after Four Seas suffered a fiasco in the Spring Festival, Pegasus 2 will probably be a more moderate and popular comedy film.

"Article 20" tells the story of Han Ming, a middle-aged prosecutor, who tried to catch the last bus of his career and work in the city hospital, but was involved in a case with huge differences, and at the same time his family was facing similar tests.

"Article 20" will probably be the one that faces the most "trials" by the public during the Spring Festival. The theme of "self-defense" focused by the film itself is a hot topic in the society, and the form of dozens of star headshots on movie posters is both hot and unstable. Although director Zhang Yimou made a lot of money at the box office in last year’s "Man Jiang Hong", he also suffered a large-scale negative public opinion because of this film. It is worth mentioning that "Article 20" is also Zhao Liying’s first film since "Journey to the West to the Daughter Country".

Among the live-action movies in the Spring Festival, YOLO’s Pegasus 2 and Article 20 are the top three in the early stage, and the box office champion is also likely to emerge from these three movies. Starting with 1 billion, 2 billion is promising, and more than 3 billion depends on the right time and the right place.
"The Movie Emperor" tells the story of Hong Kong superstar Liu Weichi (Andy Lau) who co-produced a rural film with director Lin Hao (Ning Hao) in order to win the film emperor for 40 years, which triggered a series of ridiculous farce and showed the stories of all kinds of people in the entertainment circle. This film was once shown in the "premiere" unit of Pingyao International Film Festival, and its reputation was above average.

The Movie Emperor is a rather ill-fated book, which has been changed several times. Ning Hao’s last cinema feature film was Crazy Alien in 2019, which has been away from the market for a long time. The Movie Emperor is very important for director Ning Hao. This film became attached to Andy Lau again after Crazy Stone, which was the only mainland film in the "Asian New Star Director" program invested by Andy Lau. The Movie Emperor shows the entertainment circle in the form of absurd comedy, which obviously adds a lot of what Ning Hao saw, heard and thought in his film career.

Past achievements are not enough to guarantee. In 2024, these past winners are also facing different challenges.

The development history of the series "Bear Haunted" is completely tied to the Spring Festival file. At present, it has formed a golden signboard in the Spring Festival file, and it has never fallen behind in the past ten years. From the beginning, a box office of 200 million has gradually grown. In the Spring Festival file of 2023, "Bear Haunted with My Bear Core" won nearly 1.5 billion box office and became the champion of the animated box office of the Spring Festival file.

The thickness of this IP is also increasing with the box office rising year by year. The early "Bear Haunted" film is a typical sub-supply animated theatrical version, with the target clearly defined as parent-child audience, which is better than stable and continuous output, but the breakthrough in content theme and visual effects production is not significant; With the addition of sci-fi elements to Fantasy Space, Primitive Times and Wild Continent, Return to Earth and Come with My Bear Core focus more on the theme of science and technology, and the audience of the film series has been broadened day by day, and the production level of domestic animation has also advanced by leaps and bounds in this decade, so that during the release of Return to Earth and Come with My Bear Core, there are voices lamenting that "domestic sci-fi will actually haunt bears in the future".

Expanding from parent-child audience to all-age market is a solid step taken by bears, and it is also an important reason why "Come with My Bear Core" can suddenly break out and get 50% higher box office income than its previous work. "Return to Earth" achieved a breakthrough in sci-fi scenes and action dramas, while "Accompany Me Bear Core" focused on emotional destruction with artificial intelligence, which truly achieved a double breakthrough in visual expression and plot expression. As a stable factor in the annual Spring Festival file, it is very rare for the bear haunt series to take this step.

Boonie Bears: Time Twist: Logger Vick is an ordinary programmer, but he often dreams of a strange forest and two bears. It was not until he visited a big client with his boss that he finally remembered that he was a small tour guide in the forest and was given a chance to choose his life again by chance. In order to save Xiong Er, the big bear in the old timeline, Logger Vick begins a wonderful adventure in time and space.

10th Anniversary Feelings, Parallel Space-time Adventure, Is this better than Marvel Comics? Boonie Bears: Time Twist, released on the occasion of the 10th anniversary, must have inherited the successful experience of Return to Earth and Come with My Bear, and it will be a new work full of feelings and animation skills.
From the external environment, 2024 will become the single Spring Festival file in recent years if there are no heavy new films to make up for it. Although Article 20, YOLO, Pegasus 2 and The Movie Emperor belong to different vertical types, they are all comedy movies with modern background. Although Viva La Vida is the final chapter of the trilogy of life and the adaptation of documentary stories, it also contains comedy elements. The market lacks the sci-fi represented by Wandering Earth 2, the adult animation represented by Deep Sea, the war blockbuster represented by Watergate Bridge in Operation Red Sea, and there are no costume types such as Man Jiang Hong.

If you want to see other elements, it seems that you can only choose Boonie Bears: Time Twist.

Based on various factors, as long as the film quality does not deteriorate, "Boonie Bears: Time Twist" is likely to become one of the winners of this Spring Festival. At present, it wants to see the data leading the schedule, which also confirms the amazing effect of this IP.

Conclusion:

With the current lineup, the sales of Spring Festival stalls in 2024 are less than those in 2023. Last year, the market was led by Wandering Earth 2 and Manjianghong, and various types such as Unknown, Deep Sea and Bears’ haunt were in full bloom, which could better meet the needs of different types of audiences. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, in 2024, there will be many modern-themed films that successfully detonate public sentiment and reproduce the myth of explosion.

It may be better for the film market if one or two new films can be booked. Director Tsui Hark and starring Sean Xiao’s "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and Nezha’s sequel "The Devil Boy Makes a Sea" are probably not finished in the post-production, so why can’t Jackie Chan’s "Legend" catch up? Grab the parent-child market "Pleasant Goat and the Guardian of Big Big Wolf"? There is still time before the Spring Festival, and it is not known whether there are any new films.

National Intangible Cultural Heritage —— "Tie Hua" in Queshan, Henan Province

  Image Network Zhumadian News (Reporter Yang Xiao Special Photography Zhang Aiwu (Wild Cat))In January 2008, the Ministry of Culture of People’s Republic of China (PRC) announced the national intangible cultural heritage list, and Queshan Tiehua was among them. Queshan Tiehua, also known as "Tiehua", is a traditional folk fireworks spread in Queshan County and its surrounding areas in Henan Province. In the 1950s and early 1960s, there were two "Tiehua" parties in the county town, which were interrupted for more than 20 years.

  There is a magical legend about "Queshan Tiehua": A long time ago, there was a severe drought in southern Henan. In order to relieve the drought, everyone volunteered to donate money to build a temple and cast a big clock in the temple. Each family brought their own ironware to the field, and the blacksmiths melted it into iron juice. At this moment, a group of crows flew in. They croaked in the trees and couldn’t get rid of them. At this moment, an old man came out of the crowd. He picked up two willow trees from the ground, dipped them in some molten iron juice, and hit them up. The iron juice splashed a golden spark more than ten meters high, shining the sky like fireworks, and the crows were frightened and flew away. When everyone was amazed at this sudden wonder, the old man had disappeared. This beautiful and magical legend proves that Queshan Tiehua has a long history. Queshan Tiehua originated in the Northern Song Dynasty, flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and has a history of more than a thousand years. It is true that the earliest activities are full of Taoist colors and industry characteristics. In the Song Dynasty, Taoism was advocated. The old Leshan in Queshan County was once a holy place of Taoism, and it was called the three Taoist mountains in the Central Plains together with Wudang Mountain in Hubei and Tongshan Mountain in Biyang (Wudang Mountain is called Jinding Mountain, Tongshan Mountain is called Tongding Mountain, and Leshan Mountain is called Tieding Mountain). Taoist temples are all over the county, and there is only one Leshan, which is called "Eight Gong Er Views and One Worship to Taiwan". The five craftsmen of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin in the society, together with Taoist priests, worship a founder, the "Tai Shang Lao Jun". Therefore, craftsmen and Taoist priests can be described as brothers and sisters.

Looking for the first generation of migrant workers


In Spring Festival travel rush in 1992, migrant workers flooded into Guangdong. Ye Jianqiang


  Some people say that the first generation of migrant workers are like the "third generation" college students who just resumed the college entrance examination. Although they are very different in age, they are unique among the migrant workers. Today, more than 20 years later, where are they "falling"?


  Who is the first generation of migrant workers?


  According to the idea in advance: the first generation of migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta should have worked in the Pearl River Delta in the early 1980s, so the reporter found Tan Zhiqiang, director of the Economic and Trade Office of Humen Town, Dongguan City. He was puzzled: I can’t find it, but there was one in the early 1990s!


  Faced with the same problem, Tang Zhiping, a former director of Taiping Handbag Factory, thought for a long time: after the factory was established in 1978, it was almost all Humen people in the factory. Only around 1986, due to the expansion of the factory’s business and insufficient manpower, they recruited some migrant workers in Jiangxi. By the time he left the factory in 1990, there were only more than 100 migrant workers, but three years later, Taiping Factory was basically migrant workers.


  After 1990, the name of "migrant workers" instead of "migrant workers" became popular in the media, and "migrant workers’ tide", "Spring Festival travel rush" and "public security" became a big problem in the Pearl River Delta and even the whole country. Tan Zhiqiang said that in fact, the first generation of migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta should be the group of farmers who came out of (most of) rural areas in eastern Guangdong and western Guangdong in the 1980s and worked in Shekou, Shenzhen and Shanhaiguan, Shenzhen.


  Tan Zhiqiang said that among the existing 1 million migrant workers in Humen Town, the post-80s account for the vast majority. If they are counted as the second generation of migrant workers, then the post-60s and post-70s are the first generation in the last century, while the post-70s account for the majority of the migrant workers in the early 1990s.


  Where will the first generation of migrant workers go?


  Since 2001, every year on May 12th, Lao Liang always got together with 50 workers from Gushi County, Henan Province to Dongguan on May 12th, 1991. "I have never been here, and now there are fewer and fewer." Lao Liang, who is still working hard in Dongguan, said that of those 50 people, it is estimated that 30% started their own businesses, 30% stayed in the enterprise and the rest went home.


  Cheng Xiaolei, who came in the same car as Lao Liang, is now an executive of a certain enterprise. He said that although the majority of migrant workers in their generation went home, very few really returned to the farmland to do farm work, and most of them opened stores and started businesses at home, and most of them moved to county towns or towns to build houses and became urban people.


  Yijin first opened his own shoe factory in Houjie, Dongguan, and returned to his hometown Gushi County a few years ago to open three shoe factories. As the country’s most populous county, the vast majority of investment in Gushi County is made by migrant workers in the county who go home to start businesses, and they also "match the bridge". Before the Spring Festival every year, the main leaders of the county will personally go to Dongguan and Shenzhen in the Pearl River Delta to entertain the "hometown elders". It is said that most of the banquets are the first generation of migrant workers.


  Last year, after the implementation of the new Labor Contract Law, Lao Peng of Chongqing ended his 16-year working career in Dongguan. Although the boss closed the factory and gave him tens of thousands of yuan in length of service compensation, he was still reluctant to part. It is said that in the past year or so, among the thousands of factories that moved and closed down in the Pearl River Delta, most of them really went home.


  When two generations of migrant workers meet


  Most of the first generation of migrant workers who stay in the Pearl River Delta today have become managers. When they met the second generation of migrant workers, they were somewhat puzzled.


  In the interview, most entrepreneurs of the first generation of migrant workers are talking about the current enterprise management, and the first one is that workers are difficult to manage. Cheng Xiaolei said that when they first entered the factory, they wanted military training to do morning exercises, but now workers think that doing exercises is after work, and they don’t count working hours and don’t pay wages. This is disrespect for employees’ freedom, so they complained to brand customers. Now the factory simply canceled doing exercises and military training.


  Cheng Xiaolei is the person in charge of personnel training in a large Taiwan-funded shoe factory. He said that the first generation of migrant workers were born and raised in the countryside and went to the city for survival; Although the "post-80 s" grew up in the countryside, most of their parents worked in the city, and they had no worries about food and clothing at home, and they developed an independent personality from an early age; The "post-90 s" were born in the city and studied in the city. They are all urbanites with registered permanent residence in the countryside! Up to now, will the three generations of migrant workers be the same?


  And Lao Liang’s conclusion is: at that time, we were waiting for three people in one position, but now we are waiting for one person in two positions; In the past, it was a "tide of migrant workers", but now it is a "shortage of migrant workers"-the job market has changed!


  Three first-generation workers


  Most of the first generation of migrant workers have taken a curtain call to the south and returned to their hometown. However, talking to the left-behind among them is not only about recalling the past, but also about thinking and precipitating the experience of the first generation of migrant workers, because the second and even third generation of migrant workers are still moving south.


  The trip of the former is the teacher of the latter.


  A, from migrant workers to foreign executives


  Li Xingguo, 40, came to a shoe factory in Dongguan from his hometown 17 years ago. "At that time, we had to pass the exam when we entered the factory." Because of his hard work, Li Xingguo was elected as a reserve cadre.


  Li Xingguo has never changed his company, from a wage earner to a workshop leader and workshop director. In 2003, he was sent to Vietnam and Indonesia by the company to take charge of the management of the new factory, and he has become a veritable international corporate executive.


  "There are many better opportunities and temptations, but I can’t bear to give up. This is also a typical feature of our generation of migrant workers, loyal and responsible. "


  Li Xingguo said that when he works in China, he works for the sake of work. When I came abroad, I felt more responsible: because I am a foreign company, I often have to consider the image problem. "This is also the strength of the second generation of migrant workers in China."


  B, I work for myself


  In April 1991, a Taiwan-funded shoe factory went to Gushi County, Henan Province to recruit workers. More than 3,000 people signed up and only 50 people were recruited. Lao Liang took the fifth place.


  Lao Liang did a good job in the factory, from the official to the workshop director. But in 1996, after arguing and fighting with a Taiwan Province executive, he resigned.


  At the end of 1998, in Wushi Industrial Zone, sanxiang town, Zhongshan, near Baoyuan Shoes Factory, Lao Liang set up a night market stall selling stewed vegetables. I earned hundreds of thousands in a year and a half.


  However, the trees attracted the wind, and there was no license to set up a stall. Soon, Lao Liang’s pot-stewed vegetable stall closed. At this time, Lao Liang took a photo of a dozen acres of open space in the town and opened an open-air barbecue. The business was very hot, but it was closed again because of incomplete procedures.


  In 2000, Lao Liang contracted a 250-square-meter pavement to open a restaurant. This time, the business procedures were complete and the monthly profit was more than 20,000. Lao Liang earned his first bucket of gold.


  In 2003, Lao Liang registered another company specializing in logistics and automobile service. A year later, the number of vehicles under his name reached several hundred. He closed the hotel and began to focus on the company’s business.


  Speaking of the change from wage earners to bosses over the past ten years, Lao Liang felt: working is not as good as serving wage earners!


  C, "persistence" makes migrant girls worth more than 100 million.


  In July 1989, 16-year-old Wang Xinhuai took advantage of his mother’s travel expenses from selling soybeans and came to Dongguan with 100 fellow villagers from Henan to start working.


  Two meals a day, 13 hours’ work, four months later, the sisters who came with them walked most of the time, and arel persisted. At the end of the year, 800 yuan, which she sent home, propped up three tile houses at home.


  Three years later, arel jumped to another toy factory and became the group leader. In the toy factory, she learned the secret of order processing.


  "Being a working girl for a lifetime is definitely impossible." Arel, who knows this well, rented a factory and started a simple processing after working as a working girl for eight years. "At that time, Dongguan was full of factories. As long as there was a little personal connection, many people chose to do it themselves, and it was not difficult to earn money." Arel’s business is getting bigger and bigger, and now he is already a boss with a net worth of over 100 million yuan. She said that in the past, I worked for Taiwanese businessmen and Hong Kong businessmen, but now we invite Taiwan Province people and Hong Kong people to help us manage our enterprises, and I, a working girl, will also go global.
