Alice in Wonderland: Reality and Dream under Feminism

Text | Ruiying

Fairy tales are a scenery that never fades in the film industry. Romantic innocence and wild fantasy are eternal themes in fairy tales. Gorgeous visual impact and wonderful adventure stories can add luster to the film. Alice in Wonderland is a representative fairy tale movie.

Donoff’s attention to narratology focuses on narrative time, form and style. Donoff believes that the characters in the novel are equivalent to the subject, their actions are equivalent to the predicate, and their actions and results are equivalent to the object. For example, the action predicate in the novel can be connected and transformed with the evolution of the plot. The transformation of predicate verbs makes the plot of the novel change from the original balance to imbalance, and then to a new balance, which will become a narrative transformation. This is Tonodov’s "imbalance-reconstruction" principle.

In the first part of the film, Alice’s engagement ceremony was in a state of balance, and it was not until Alice fell into a black hole that the plot was out of balance. The magical dream gives people a psychedelic and unreal feeling, which breaks the previous balance. Alice thought it was just her own dream. It was not until she was scratched by the giant bear that she realized that it was not a dream, but a real situation. This is an imbalance of the plot. Then Alice sneaked into the red queen’s castle to save the mad hat, seized the Woboer sword, fought against the monty, overthrew the tyranny of the red queen, and regained the kingship for White Queen. Finally, Alice returned to reality, chose her ideal lifestyle and rebuilt a new balance again.

Color in the Visual Modeling of Characters

The concept of film color contrast contrasts, expressing ugliness with bright colors and expressing justice with single color, which has played an unexpected irony effect. White Queen is dressed in white lace, including his own war horse, and the color of lipstick is really red and black. She speaks with blue fingers cocked up and got it, holding cream fingers with ease to do her own research and development of pharmaceuticals. This is a foreshadowing, paving the way for later explaining the mistakes made by White Queen’s selfishness as a child. The red queen has red hair, big head, short and dark red robes. In China, red symbolizes joy, happiness, luck and wealth, but in the west, red is blood and fire, symbolizing cruelty, disaster, danger and terror. Therefore, the red queen’s red just reflects her brutal rule and blood, but in fact, she has been longing for love all her life, lonely and sensitive, and her ugly appearance has cast an increasingly surly character. Her bones are simple and childish, so she has to hide her weakness with fierceness.

How terrible and hateful human nature is, that weakness is deeply hidden in everyone’s heart. The personified "time" is dressed in black, and the mechanized body and calm personality are integrated with each other. The crazy hat’s orange hair and Gothic smoky makeup highlight his warm, funny, cute and confused side. Blue is also repeated in the film. Different blues represent different meanings. The big ostrich in blue, the caterpillar, Mr. Rabbit, and the blue cat that has disappeared without a trace are all symbols of wisdom. The black color of Mr. Time is a mystery. Alice once said that time is ruthless, but black is unknown besides mystery. The warrior black around the red queen and a piece of red heart on her eyes are interesting.

Alice has blonde hair and is warm and soft. The characters in the film, especially the costumes, use a lot of China elements, which makes the audience feel more cordial. Alice wore a dress at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, wearing the same cloud shoulder and not caring about other people’s opinions. This shows Alice’s stubborn, rebellious, thoughtful and adventurous spirit. In the 19th century, the idea of Renaissance freedom was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially the temporary awakening of women. However, with the profoundness of China culture, especially the collocation of clothing colors, foreigners often add their own ways of understanding. Although Alice is an element of China from beginning to end, it is more like singing opera from color to whole. What resonates with China audiences is that Alice spends most of her time in the film wearing clothes with China elements.

Male-dominated society and female freedom

The profound meaning that the film wants to express is presented in the contrast between reality and dreams, so as to reflect Alice’s inner desire for entanglement and freedom and her depressed psychology bound by traditional ideas. The ambivalence in reality is released in dreams, so everything in fairyland is symbolized by metaphor.

Freud said that the subconscious will be expressed in the form of dreams through a condensed procedure. Alice’s self-anxiety turns into a pocket watch in the hands of rabbits, that is, a kind of urgency of time; The brother-in-law who secretly cheated turned into a red knight who betrayed the red queen; The exploding neck dragon symbolizes the oppression of women in the real society. The red queen is actually two contradictory sides of Alice’s heart, which can be seen from the same little gestures of the red queen, for example, her fingers keep shaking when she is nervous. White Queen’s hypocrisy and lies are obvious. She symbolizes Alice’s bound self in a society where women’s status is not high, and she seems elegant and dignified but does not obey her inner self. In fact, the Red Queen is as simple as a child. She just stopped at the night when she was hit on the head forever, so when she was unhappy, she would yell "Cut off his head!" " She symbolizes Alice’s inner resistance to this social reality, which is the undisguised original id. The embodiment of this subconscious in dreams represents Alice’s self-consciousness, that is, the awakening of feminist consciousness.

From the perspective of character positioning, we will find that the rulers of Wonderland are the Red Queen and White Queen, both women, but in reality, before Queen Victoria ascended the throne, the rulers were always men. At that time, under the social status of women, it was difficult for women to be recognized and respected, which was realized in dreams. In the dream, after Alice defeated the Jabberwocky Dragon, the Mad Hatter danced for her, but in reality, it was often women who danced to cater to men’s preferences. Alice in the dream had high hopes from beginning to end, and all her partners expected her to save the fairyland. In the end, Alice defeated the Javelin as expected. In the real world, the heroes who save the world are often men. Only men are required to learn knowledge and learn to fight, which is needed by society, while women are regarded as reproductive tools and cannot realize their self-worth.

Comparing reality with dreams from the perspective of plot, we will find that in the film, Alice found that her brother-in-law was having an affair with others, and her brother-in-law threatened Alice not to say anything about her sister’s happiness, so she had to keep silent. In the social environment at that time, women’s marriage was arranged by the family. The society believed that a woman’s greatest glory was to marry a "good" man with power and dignity. No matter whether her married life was happy or not, women should unconditionally tolerate her husband. In the dream, Alice’s feelings are not bound by rules and regulations. She and the mad hat appreciate and help each other, which is the truest emotion from her heart and Alice’s desire for freedom. Another plot that shows this sharp contrast is that Alice in reality dreams of becoming a navigator like her father, but Alice can’t realize her dream because of the pressure from relatives and friends around her and the constraints of women’s social status.

Women’s image breaking through the traditional model

Now, with the development of social economy and the improvement of cultural level, women’s thoughts are becoming more and more independent. They are no longer attached to men’s lives as they were in early China. Now women have their own independent thoughts. They advocate freedom, are brave and strong, and strive for their ideal life. Therefore, more and more films are praising feminism, which is a true reflection of the realistic system under the social system.

Alice in Wonderland is set in Britain in the 19th century, which shows the rise of feminism in a patriarchal society. Judging from the character setting, women are the main characters. The violent dictatorship of the Red Queen enjoys exclusive kingship, White Queen is dignified, generous, elegant and holy, and Alice is brave and fearless. In the film, when the Red and White Queens fought, a soldier should have gone to war for White Queen, but it was Alice who went to war in the male-dominated palace, which reflected Alice’s courage; When the bear monster’s eyes were injured, Alice took the initiative to give them back to the bear monster and influenced it, which also reflected Alice’s kindness. In real life, most women carefully abide by the current rules under feudal dogma. Women live a depressed life. They try to struggle and resist, but eventually they all succumb to discrimination and power. Only a few women dare to say no to this power. Their thoughts are more independent, and they dare to fight against evil forces to seek their true selves. Alice is one of them.

In recent years, feminist films have emerged in an endless stream. This kind of films still has great value in today’s open, democratic and rapidly developing society. It treats the differences between men and women in all aspects of social life with an idea of tending to equality, and expands the living space of women in the state of giving equality to men and women, improves their social status and makes more people pay attention to this vulnerable group. Many movies and TV plays with female themes not only need to show the female thoughts of the protagonists themselves, but also have a deep exploration of female self-awareness.

The issue of women is still a problem that needs to be discussed. Nowadays, the development of feminism in different regions is uneven, and the social status of women in some developing countries is still underground. Therefore, feminist theory still has great creative value in the future film market.

The most horrible plague in Italian history claimed nearly 40% of life and directly changed human history.

In the autumn of 1347, the twilight of Europe shone on the sparkling sea, and merchant ships slowly sailed into the port of Messina in Sicily, Italy. These ships from Genoa not only brought precious goods from the East, but also mysterious exotic customs and wealth, which disturbed the tranquility of Europe in the Middle Ages under the impetus of sea breeze. People are busy exchanging goods in the port, enjoying the prosperity and joy brought by business, but no one expected that the shadow of death had quietly come.

The source of the plague is those rats in groups in the cabin. They carry the deadly Yersinia pestis and quietly penetrate into every corner of the port. All these disasters originated from the battlefield in Mongolia. At that time, when the Mongolian army besieged Kafa City, it threw the infected bodies into the city and infected the residents in the city. With the footsteps of businessmen and rats, the plague spread from the Middle East to Europe.

The port of Messina became the first battlefield of the Black Death. With the continuous navigation of merchant ships, the plague spread like wildfire and swept across Italy. It mercilessly took countless lives, turned the vibrant and lively city into a dead ruin, and the laughter of the past was replaced by the silence of death.

Boccaccio, a great literary master at that time, vividly described the horror brought by this disaster in decameron. On the street, people suddenly fell down, and the bodies at home rotted, giving off a stench, until the neighbors noticed that death was coming quietly. Piles of bodies were transported to the church, and the cemetery could no longer accommodate them. The citizens had to dig huge potholes outside the city and bury the bodies in batches.

Under the shadow of this death, people’s hearts are full of helplessness and fear. Many people tried to escape from this disaster, eager to escape the shadow of death. However, the flight of most people only made the spread of the plague more rapid. The Catholic Church sternly appealed to believers not to escape, but in endless despair, people began to look for various ways to survive.

A heretical belief called "whipping school" came into being at this time. Believers beat themselves with whips, trying to redeem their sins in this extreme way and praying for God’s forgiveness. However, neither escape, prayer nor self-punishment can stop the pace of death, and the Black Death is still raging.

The plague has reduced Italy’s population by more than one third, and the death rate in the worst-hit areas is as high as 35% to 40%. This unprecedented disaster immersed Italy in deep sorrow and despair, but it also promoted the process of history. Under the heavy pressure of death, people began to reflect and think.

This disaster has revealed the importance of medicine and knowledge. In response to this epidemic, in April 1348, Florence City Council set up an epidemic prevention committee and began to implement the isolation system. The government issues health certificates to uninfected people and severely punishes those who violate the isolation regulations. Although this measure failed to completely eradicate the plague, it provided valuable experience for future generations’ epidemic prevention work, and the isolation and quarantine system gradually became one of the important methods to deal with the epidemic.

At the same time, the spread of the Black Death broke the shackles of medieval theology on people’s thoughts. People began to reflect on blind worship and superstition, and longed for the power of reason and knowledge. The theological concept of anti-intelligence is pale and powerless in the face of the horror of plague. People began to tend to explore science and rationality, and the seeds of the Renaissance quietly took root in this longing, and gradually blossomed with the passage of time.

Such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and other great artists and scientists, their wisdom and talent have opened a new chapter in human history. Italy, a land that was hit hard by the Black Death, eventually became the cradle of the Renaissance, which deeply influenced the history and culture of Europe as a whole. It is against this background of pain and despair that the Italians found the spark of hope, lit the glory of civilization, once again lit up the whole of Europe and pushed the wheel of history forward.

  It is reported that Cai Wangjia is the second son of Cai Yanming, chairman, chief executive officer and executive director of Want Want Group, and currently serves as chief operating officer of Want Want Group and vice president of milk and beverage business group.

  The topic of "Want Want" has also successfully boarded the hot search, and won the top of the hot search list in a short time. As of press time, this topic has received more than 800 million readings.

  In response to the heat situation, on August 5, Time Weekly reporter contacted Want Want for an interview, and has not yet replied before the press release.

  Wang Wang Chu quan Ji

  With the second son out of the circle, Want Want is "prosperous" again.

  "We only go to products around 30 yuan, and we are afraid of wild consumption." On August 5th, the reporter of Time Weekly was in Wangwang official live broadcast room "Wangzi Club", and the anchor held Wangwang snow cake to carry the goods, and the slogan "Please consume rationally" was marked on the right side of the live broadcast room. "Let the second son bring the goods", "Link on the second son" and "You are prosperous, I am prosperous, and everyone is prosperous" … The netizens at the bottom have left comments and placed orders with passion.

  According to the data of flying melon, as of 18: 00 on August 5, the number of people watching Wangwang live room was close to 100,000, and the estimated sales exceeded 200,000 yuan. Previously, the number of people watching Wangwang live room was around 10,000-30,000, and the highest single-game sales in 7 days was around 100,000 yuan.

  On the same day, the customer service of Want Want Food flagship store told Times Weekly that many consumers saw hot search to place orders, and the sales of stores surged.

  And the pieces of Want Want Snow Cake sold here have a little-known family history of Taiwan, China boss.

  Cai Yanming, the founder of Want Want Group, was keen on "wandering the streets" when he was young, and he was a typical "rich three generations".

  At the age of 19, he took over the predecessor of Want Want Group from his father-Yilan Food Factory, whose main business was food OEM and export. Three years later, in 1979, Cai Yanming brought the rice fruit technology he learned from Japan back to the factory and changed the name of the factory to Want Want; In the same year, the image of "Wangzai" with a magic smile was officially born. In 1983, Wangwang brand was formally established.

  In 1992, Cai Yanming, smelling business opportunities, began to enter the mainland market and successfully set up its first factory in Hunan two years later. Then, facing the policy outlet, Cai Yanming led Want Want to gain a foothold in the China market.

  Then, "You are prosperous, I am prosperous, everyone is prosperous" and "Look at me again, and I will drink you!" "Li Ziming, a classmate in Class 6, Grade 3" and other magical "brainwashing" circulating advertising words spread all over the country, and "Wangzai" also jumped up and became the light of snacks in the hearts of post-80 s and post-90 s.

  For many years, Want Want Group attached importance to sinking market and regarded it as one of its core competitiveness.

  According to the data of Huachuang Securities, around 2008, Want Want had more than 1 million terminal outlets. In addition, at the end of 2007, Want Want launched the "Send Wang to the Countryside" activity, in which the sales staff equipped with trucks directly face the orders of township terminals and deliver goods, continuously improving the penetration rate of township cities. By 2010, the project had covered 1,500 counties across the country.

  According to the data of official website, Want Want has invested and set up 34 independent branches, 19 non-real split companies and 422 business offices.

  In terms of products, in addition to the classic rice and fruit products such as Wangwang Snow Cake and Wangwang Xianbei, Wangwang Group has successively launched snack segmentation track products such as Wangzai milk, Wangwang steamed bread, Wangwang crushed ice and Wangzai QQ candy. At this point, Want Want has also transformed from a rice fruit factory into a food and beverage company. In 2007, China Want Want Holdings Limited was established.

  Open up cross-border territory

  The magical advertising language spread all over the country became famous, and Want Want once earned a lot of money.

  The financial report shows that in golden decade from 2004 to 2013, the compound growth rate of Want Want’s total revenue reached 21%. In 2013 alone, Want Want’s total revenue was as high as 23.6 billion yuan, and its total market value exceeded 160 billion Hong Kong dollars.

  At that time, Wangwang’s "Wangzai Milk" became a star product, which basically supported half of Wangwang’s performance. According to the financial report, the total income of Wangzi milk in 2013 was about 11.2 billion yuan, accounting for about 48% of the total revenue.

  However, after walking through golden decade, Want Want gradually showed signs of fatigue. According to the data, the annual revenue of Want Want from 2014 to 2016 was 23.1 billion yuan, 22.3 billion yuan and 19.7 billion yuan respectively, and the revenue declined for three consecutive years.

  "The market performance is weak, the sales method is traditional, and the response to market demand lags behind." Previously, Shen Meng, director of chansons Capital, told Times Weekly that Want Want was gradually aging in its brand and products.

  To this end, Want Want began to differentiate its business strategy and explore new channels for cross-border marketing.

  In 2015, Want Want successively launched independent new brands such as Bond Coffee, Aizhizun and Mr.HOT, targeting many customers such as mothers and babies, white-collar women, middle-aged and young consumers; In 2019, Want Want launched the young snack brand Fix XBody; with the way of controlling daily calorie intake as the highlight; In February, 2022, Want Want released a new wine and drink product-it’s OK, "Mei" relationship! Longjing plum wine At present, it has been put on the shelves of Want Want Food Tmall flagship store, and the price of new products is 77 yuan/bottle.

  At the same time, Want Want tried to cross the border to the end and constantly explore the cross-border territory.

  From setting up a hospital, getting involved in insurance and providing for the aged, to co-branding beauty products and fashion brands, and opening home and theme stores, Want Want’s cross-border "gameplay" emerges endlessly. In the latest May 2022, Want Want also announced the launch of a limited collection of trendy dolls. Each doll enjoys its own unique number, with a unique digital collection certificate. The "Collection Series" is limited to 12 models, and each model sells 1111 pieces.

  Even if it is keen on cross-border marketing and exploring the direction of rejuvenation, Want Want has not completely got rid of the "aging" crisis.

  In June 2022, Want Want released its annual report for fiscal year 2021, with revenue of 23.985 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9%. The net profit of returning to the mother was 4.203 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.1%. Despite the increase in revenue, Want Want’s gross profit margin fell by 3.4% year-on-year, only 44.8%; Operating profit margin decreased by 3.3% to 22.8%, and operating profit decreased by 4.9% year-on-year.

The famous actor died this morning.

On April 5th, the famous singer Wang Xinping announced on her personal social account that her father, a generation of martial arts superstar Wang Yu, died in the hospital on the morning of April 5th at the age of 80.

Wang Yu was born in Shanghai, a native of Jiangsu. She studied in Shanghai Institute of Physical Education and settled in Hong Kong, China in 1960s. Because of her love of sports since childhood, Wang Yu, who is tall and has excellent appearance, was quickly targeted by the entertainment circle in Hong Kong.

In 1964, Zhang Che, the famous director of the Hong Kong martial arts film "The Founder of the Mountain", took a fancy to him and invited him to be the hero of the martial arts film "The Tiger Warrior and the Enemy", which opened the road of "A Generation of Heroes Wang Yu".

In Wang Yu’s screen hero career, One-armed Knife, which came out in 1967, can be called a work that changed his fate. In the film, he played the one-armed swordsman who repaid kindness with evil, avenged his legacy, and contributed to the Chinese film an image of a tough guy and a hero who was affectionate, righteous, unrestrained and unique in screen charm, sweeping away the gentle atmosphere that occupied the mainstream of the big screen at that time.

After the release of One-armed Knife, it caused a big sale, and was praised as "a masterpiece leading the trend of martial arts films". Since then, Wang Yu has become the spokesperson of "Heroes", and in the next 10 years, he has successively filmed many martial arts films with the theme of "One-armed Knife King", "One-armed Knife vs. Blind Man" and "One-armed Boxing King Breaking guillotines". It is reported that before Bruce Lee became famous, Wang Yu was a martial arts star with the highest pay and the best box office in Hong Kong, China. While starring in many hit works, Wang Yu also began to act while being excellent, and directed many martial arts works such as Long Hudou and Black and White Road.

Under the leadership of a group of martial arts stars such as Wang Yu, Hong Kong-made martial arts films have become a dazzling business card of China films. Quentin tarantino, a famous Hollywood director, called him "one of the greatest and most innovative directors in the history of martial arts movies", while director Ang Lee spoke highly of him: "Wang Yu not only laid the standard for martial arts superstars, but also pioneered the fist action movies. His self-directed and self-directed Long Hudou developed this genre earlier than Bruce Lee and inspired countless successors. These movies may have more influence on the world than me, and they are still learning all over the world."

In the early 1990s, Wang Yu gradually faded out of the film industry and became a "legend" among the fans of a new generation of martial arts movies. In 2011, Wang Yu was admitted to the hospital because of a minor stroke, which made fans extremely concerned about the health of this "hero". However, he soon came back and took the first martial arts work "Martial Arts" directed by Chen Kexin, and cooperated with Donnie Yen, Tang Wei and others to play the villain BOSS with bottomless skills.

At that time, both Chen Kexin and Donnie Yen expressed their admiration for Wang Yu in interviews, believing that their understanding of martial arts movies was not unrelated to Wang Yu’s classic performances. To the surprise of fans, Wang Yu, who has never won a prize in his life, was nominated for the best supporting actor in several important film festivals with his few performances in "Martial Arts".

However, since the film Lost Soul was filmed in 2013, Wang Yu’s health has once again turned red and disappeared from the entertainment scene.

Wang Xinping suddenly announced the news of Wang Yu’s death today, and netizens lamented one after another: Great Xia, go well!

There is no one-armed knife in the world!

Taiwan Province paparazzi reveals the entertainment circle: when paparazzi have thick skin and good heart.

Original title: Taiwan Province paparazzi reveals the entertainment circle: when the paparazzi skin is thick enough, the heart should be good enough.

"If you want to be a paparazzi, the skin on your body should be thick enough and the skin on your face should be thick enough!" Taiwan Province’s "famous mouth" Xu Shengmei claimed to be "the first paparazzi in Taiwan Province", and once photographed Jerry Yan, Zhang Ziyi and other big stars. In her view, relying on selling the privacy of stars in exchange for money, wandering in the border between law and morality, although paparazzi can always bring readers the first news, but this job is really not done by people.

Today, we will experience the "inhuman life" of paparazzi through the personal experience of Xu Shengmei and Taiwan Province host Ricky.

The skin should be thick enough

An actress asked the underworld to beat the paparazzi.

"The paparazzi in Taiwan Province can be regarded as a’ high-risk industry’, because you should be careful to be beaten every minute." Ricky, the host of Taiwan Province, broke the news that when the actress S, who played Taiwan Province’s hit drama "The Bad Wife", just made her debut, she had a good relationship with a paparazzi in Next Weekly, and a lot of news came from Next Weekly.

Later, Actress S gradually became popular. The paparazzi began to report the news of a female artist in the same company, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Actress S. Finally, the actress even wanted to invite the "underworld" she knew to beat the paparazzi. Fortunately, the paparazzi knew it in advance, but she broke up with the paparazzi and Next Weekly.

Good acting, paparazzi playing pregnant women as "undercover"

In addition, if you want to be a paparazzi, you should not only wait for a long time, but also try your best to get close to the stars, and sometimes you must have superb acting skills. A few years ago, in order to conceal her pregnancy, Taiwan Province actress Ji Qin hired two VIP delivery rooms in the hospital, asked nurses to sign confidentiality clauses, and used anti-pinhole devices to check the whole floor to keep her daughter from being exposed. But unexpectedly, the paparazzi in Taiwan Province went even further, sending pregnant women as "undercover" and specifying that they would live next door to Ji Qin.

Ji Qin’s agent said, "It’s really an exaggeration. A pregnant woman suddenly moved into this hospital, but she hasn’t given birth yet. The reason for staying in the hospital is that everyone at home has a cold, so she stayed in the hospital for a few days to avoid being infected and treated the hospital as a hotel. After the news came out, Wang Renfu and Ji Qin asked the hospital to change rooms for the pregnant woman on the grounds of safety. "

In good health, paparazzi carry water pipes just to shoot Zhang Ziyi

And Xu Shengmei’s colleague once played a plumber for Zhang Ziyi. Xu Shengmei told the reporter that Zhang Ziyi was filming "House of Flying Daggers" at that time, and the crew wrapped her tightly, and some modeling and shooting conditions were not allowed to be leaked. This colleague of hers pretended to be a plumber and tied a bunch of water pipes on his shoulder in order to hide his camera in them. It was snowing heavily that day, and he walked all the way into the set, and no one stopped him. He walked along the built shelf to the roof of the studio and climbed the roof beam, hanging upside down like a martial arts novel with a camera. The crew thought that he was repairing a water pipe, and Zhang Ziyi was filming a very important scene in House of Flying Daggers, that is, jumping up and encouraging, and he successfully photographed Zhang Ziyi from the roof.

Concluding remarks

The joys and sorrows of ordinary people become real privacy when they are put on stars. In fact, all stars have their own A-side and B-side. If it weren’t for paparazzi, where could we have a glimpse? With this, I also want to praise the paparazzi! (Straits reporter Xu Qiaona Lin Jingxian Intern Chen Zui)

Special effects of domestic dramas, fifty cents, thirty cents and fifty cents.

        The TV series "Hua Qiangu" starring Wallace Huo and Zhao Liying is being broadcasted. The point of netizens’ joy is not "bone painting love", but the steamed stuffed bun made of Altman monsters and CG special effects. Of course, the "sweet baby" made by animation is also jaw-dropping.

Hua Qiangu’s "spirit bug" sweet baby is burping.

        The same special effects were spit out by the long-awaited online drama "Tomb Notes". Before the broadcast, Nanpai’s uncle said frankly, "The narrative aspect of his own story and the charm of the characters are far stronger than the need for special effects." "I don’t believe there will be such a situation as’ fifty cents special effects’. But after all, there will still be a bottleneck in the film and television production of online dramas in China, and there will still be an industrial development process, so we can wait patiently. ". After the broadcast, netizens spoke out that "the five-cent special effect that is more destructive than the fifty-cent special effect appeared" (but compared with the rough plot, the special effect is not the biggest problem).

In the pilot episode of Tomb Raiding Notes, a lighter flew by and the car exploded.

The blood of "Little Brother" Zhang Qiling

        What is called Lei Ju by the audience now is either because of the exaggeration of the story or because of the special effects. While special effects account for an increasing proportion in TV series, their reputation is getting worse and worse, and even the word "fifty cents special effects" is used to describe the "shoddy" production of TV series. Domestic dramas have used special effects technology for decades, why are they often called "five-hair special effects"? Is it lack of money or technology? 

What is film and television special effects?

        First of all, give everyone a definition of "film and television special effects" and "CG". The full name of CG is Computer Graphics, which refers to a category of visual design and production by using computer technology. It includes both art and all visual art creation activities at present, such as print design, web design, three-dimensional animation, film and television special effects and so on. Film and television special effects are one of CG.

In 1986, The Journey to the West Central the Monkey King was born.

        As early as 1980s, in the six-year-old children’s version of The Journey to the West, the stone monkey was born, and the Monkey King’s "walking on clouds" were all film and television special effects, which was probably the original impression of mainland audiences on this technology.

        In 1995, Pixar Animation Studio released Toy Story, the world’s first movie made entirely by computer animation, and the concept of CG really began to be widely recognized. In China, most colleges and universities began to set up related majors such as "post-film and television composite special effects" after 2000.

        For actors, the use of special effects is both a good thing and a difficult problem.

The Man-eating Flowers in Hua Qiangu

        Rulu, the actor who plays Xia Zixun in Hua Qiangu, once lamented, "The plot that once needed to travel across mountains and rivers to shoot can now be solved by a piece of green cloth and blue cloth." However, without the performance experience of "listening, seeing and feeling", the difficulty of interpreting the role has increased a lot. "The emergence of CG requires actors to perform more, and it is necessary to cultivate stronger imagination and artistic creativity."

The shooting scene of "Four Famous Boys" is set in green cloth.

After post-processing, the green cloth becomes blue sky and white clouds.

        However, in the eyes of special effects producers, special effects cannot be a "sub-item" for actors’ performances. Xiao Yang, the director of the film "Youth Class", is the founder of a well-known special effects production company, Tiangong Extraordinary, and has been engaged in post-work for a long time. He doesn’t agree with the actors’ complaints about the production of special effects, and thinks that the "non-physical performance" of actors should be a basic skill as early as school.

        "I don’t quite agree with the saying that actors work harder because of the special effects of film and television." Xiao Yang takes the drama of standing on the edge of a cliff as an example. "Now it can be done by post-production. Actors can do it by post-production without standing on the cliff. Does it make you concentrate on your performance to a certain extent and will not have psychological fear?"

Why is the effect only "fifty cents"? 

        Film and television special effects have been widely used in domestic dramas, and the production of special effects has become an indispensable part of the full-screen legendary martial arts fairy tales. The audience’s focus on watching domestic dramas has also changed from paying attention to actors and plots to picking up dubbing clips and special visual experiences. But what stunned the audience was not how good the special effects were, but how thunderous they were.  

The Special Effect Fox in swords of legends

        For example, last year’s TV series "swords of legends" was dominated by netizens, who once said that "if special effects are removed, a group of people are crazy". Waterfalls that don’t move and beaches that walk without footprints are even dubbed as "special effects of 30 cents".

        Known as the China Heavenly Edition "clash of the titans", the TV series "Stone Dare to Be the Hero of Heaven East" once played a publicity stunt of specially invited special effects production team of NASDAQ-listed IT companies before the broadcast, but after the broadcast, the special effects were hit in the face every minute. Some netizens vomited that "the whole drama exudes a sense of cheapness with thick plastic foam. When the immortals meet in the South Gate of Heaven, if the actors didn’t brush their sense of existence in front of the camera, they would really think they were watching cartoons".

        Why the special effects of domestic dramas are scum, funding is a big factor. Generally speaking, the price of TV special effects lens is about 1500 yuan a second, but for most TV dramas that need to use a lot of special effects, no matter how big the production is, the budget is not enough. Although it is not 50 cents a second, the cost can only be a defective product.

        It is reported that in 2010, the Zhang Jizhong version of The Journey to the West spent 15 million yuan on the post-production of special effects, and 14 companies participated in the production of 102,000 seconds of special effects shots, which is about 147 yuan per second on average. Zhang Jizhong revealed that compared with the 2003 edition of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Journey to the West’s post-production funds increased by 10 times, but the number and difficulty increased by 20 to 30 times, and the number of special effects shots accounted for more than half of the total number of shots in the series.

Zhang Jizhong version of The Journey to the West stills

        However, after this TV series with more than 300 special effects shots in each episode was broadcast, many viewers called the special effects cottage. "The edges of the key image are all serrated, and many scenes of CG animation have not been color-corrected and are crude. Where did the investment go?"

        In this regard, Zhang Jizhong’s explanation is that the investment of the play can’t be compared with that of American blockbusters, and the domestic technology can’t reach Hollywood level.

        The online drama "Tomb Notes" claims to cost 5 million yuan per episode, with a total investment of more than 80 million yuan. However, after the broadcast, netizens discussed whether the level of special effects is 50 cents or 20 cents, and why the advertising time vision suddenly improved.

        

        The relevant person in charge of the online drama "Never Imagine" said that special effects will only be used unless the plot needs it. "The best special effects team in China is even Xu Ke and Guangying, and many people are reluctant to do special effects for domestic dramas. If they want to do it, they are usually some students practicing their hands and playing."

        Xu Jie, the special effects director of the TV series Men on Armored Ships, who has been in business for 15 years, admits that it is not an exaggeration for students to operate the special effects of basic domestic dramas. "The single repetitive special effects work is very simple. I can say that one can be trained in two or three months, but what China lacks is the technical director-style talents."

        "The special effects industry itself has not existed for a long time. It is almost changing with each passing day. There is a lack of basic developers in this field in China, so it is difficult to keep up with the pace of large foreign companies." Mr. Q, who has been engaged in the film special effects industry for six years at Base Fx, said.

        Mr. Q believes that the biggest bottleneck of film and television special effects is not the technology, but the rendering time is the biggest test if you want to make a detailed and realistic picture. However, at present, the production cycle and development mode of TV series obviously cannot tolerate the working mode of "slow work and fine work".

The picture of "Life of Pi" is beautiful, but its special effects company R&H has declared bankruptcy.

        "The special effects industry is not particularly mature in the world, and many problems are still in the discussion stage." Xiao yang, the director of tiangong extraordinary splendour, said. Special effects cost money, but companies that make special effects may not make money. For example, Ang Lee directed "The Fantasy Drifting of Boys and Girls", whose special effects are generally recognized as good, but its special effects company has declared bankruptcy.

       Xiao Yang believes that "in China mainland, there is no problem for domestic practitioners to make special effects of a single shot, and the special effects of low still depend on the choice of the producer and whether the producer respects the basic special effects workflow".

        "As far as I know, the level of everyone in the market is still similar, just a matter of money and time." Xu Jie, the special effects director of the TV series "Men on Armored Ships", said. For Xu Jie’s point of view, Li Xingwen, a senior film and television critic, also agreed that "on the one hand, it is hard power, the improvement of technology and the cultivation of talents, on the other hand, it is the satisfaction of funds and time."

        The special effects shot in Men on the Armored Ship has 3600 seconds. "Now I advocate the concept of’ post-pre-production’. I also brought a group into the group before the drama was filmed. Many props, shapes and scenes later became my responsibility. In fact, these are closely related to special effects." Xu Jie admits that the crew’s respect for special effects work will directly affect the final presentation effect.

Stills of Men on Armored Ships

        The criteria for judging the quality of special effects are basically grasped by each crew. Xu Jie said: "At present, we are still in a stage of watching and auditing together. As for the standard of one, two, three, you don’t have it yet, so there will be industry chaos."

        Li Jianping, Dean of Animation College of Beijing Film Academy, once analyzed the faltering development of China’s film and television special effects from an educational perspective. He said that most of the current special effects are digital technology, which is close to the training direction of animation major, so many special effects artists in China are from animation major, and it is urgent to subdivide the special effects production major. There are no special effects software with independent brands, no local special effects talent team, the narrow development space of special effects teachers in China and the imperfect education system, which are all bottlenecks in the development of film and television special effects in China.

        "The market is still very big," Xiao Yang said, and many talents are still being trained. "The industry is not short of simple implementation, but it lacks real guidance." The era of special effects artists in China may have to wait. "Chinese’s art conceptual design, the contractual spirit of institutional cooperation, the selection of scenes, etc. need to be completed and then formed into a system." Having participated in many film and television works, he fully affirmed the level of China’s special effects industry. "There are many talents in China, and many special effects in Hollywood are also contracted to domestic teams, because the post-producers in China are hard-working, but our shortcomings may be the lack of production system and the design of art concepts."

        "The emergence, development and growth of the special effects industry are just to complete a dream. The whole film and television industry is for dreaming, so special effects and actors are all part of it." Xiao Yang believes that the structure of domestic dramas needs to be reorganized. "The performance of actors and whether producers respect the production of special effects are all problems, and the bad results can’t be blamed on the production of special effects."

Housework can never be finished? Send you a set of "guide to the rules of housework"

Editor’s note: In life, we will inevitably encounter all kinds of trivial problems. If you master some tricks, trick or two, you may be able to solve life’s problems. Let’s take a look at the healthy living tips compiled by Xiaobian!

Housework can never be finished? Send you a set of "guide to the rules of housework"

Housework is tedious, but not everything needs to be cleaned every day. Recently, based on decades of domestic experience, the British Institute of Good Housekeeping summarized a set of "guide to household chores" that can easily clean the home. Life Times invited domestic experts to interpret this. 

The "Guide" divides the frequency of doing different housework into daily, weekly, monthly, every 3-6 months and every year. 

Household chores once a day: making beds, sweeping the floor, washing the toilet, wiping the kitchen console, washing dishes and washing underwear. 

Weekly housework: vacuuming, cleaning bathroom, brushing tooth cups, cleaning sheets, quilts and towels. 

Monthly housework: cleaning windows and shutters, vacuuming furniture and cleaning doormats.[Full text]

The car is too messy and dangerous.

"It’s not a big problem to put some commonly used items in the car, but if there are too many things, too complicated or misplaced, it will become a potential risk factor in driving." Liu Xin, a researcher at the Traffic Law Research Center of Shandong Jiaotong University, said that open sight and spacious interior space are the prerequisites for ensuring driving safety and winning survival to the greatest extent after an accident. But many car owners don’t realize this.[Full text]

Brilliant trick to polish the tap

Water stains are easy to remain on faucets. After a long time, ugly spots will be formed on the surface, and the water outlet is also easy to generate scale, which is not good for health. It is necessary to clean and maintain the faucet frequently.

At present, the faucets on the market are mostly made of copper and stainless steel, with different materials and different cleaning methods. Most of the copper taps are traditional screw taps, which are easy to rust and difficult to clean. They can be cleaned with scale remover and can be bought in supermarkets. The specific method is: dip a soft-bristled toothbrush in the detergent and gently wipe it. Some alloy faucets are also suitable for this method..[Full text]

Mattress health has to go through four levels

When choosing a mattress, you should have four passes:

Smell off. Before buying, it is best to open the plastic packaging or side inspection port of the mattress and smell if there is any odor. In addition, try to buy a big brand mattress, not less than 1,000 yuan, which is more likely to use inferior adhesives and fillers.

Exposure to the sun. After the mattress is bought, it should be ventilated and exposed for at least 2 weeks, and it is best to expose it once every 1~2 months.

Soft and hard. The mattress should be moderately soft and hard, too soft will make the body too invaginate, increase the load of ligaments and joints around the spine, and it will be easy to backache after a long time; Too hard will make people hang up, increase muscle pressure and affect deep sleep. When picking a mattress, you can press the mattress with your palm, and the depression range is 2~3 cm. In addition, some people like to sleep on hard beds, and it is best to add one or two layers of mattresses.

Force off. Every 2~3 months, the head and feet should be turned upside down or upside down to avoid the collapse of the mattress spring due to uneven stress; When the mattress is partially sunken or feels uneven when lying down, it should be replaced in time.[Full text]

Soap and washing powder can be mixed.

Chemically speaking, soap and washing powder belong to alkaline chemical products, and their pH values are between 8 and 11. Therefore, there is no such thing as "acid-base neutralization" when washing powder and soap are mixed. Another study shows that the decontamination effect will be better if a proper proportion of washing powder and soap are mixed. This is because sodium fatty acid, the main component of soap, will combine with calcium and magnesium ions in water to form a precipitate, which affects the detergency of soap..[Full text]

Mothballs are natural.

Whenever the season changes, people usually put some mothballs in the wardrobe or storage box in order to keep clothes from getting wet and being eaten by insects. However, if mothballs are used improperly, it may bring big trouble.

At present, there are two kinds of mothballs on the market: natural and synthetic. Natural mothballs are mainly extracted from the branches and leaves of camphor trees, which are colorless or white crystals, non-toxic and fragrant. However, synthetic mothballs are mostly made of dichlorobenzene, which has a pungent smell and certain toxicity. Improper placement or excessive placement will cause dizziness, sneezing, skin allergies and other symptoms..[Full text]

Among them, there are 2 electronic unveiling projects with a total investment of 2 billion yuan;Collectively signed 98 settlement agreements, with a total investment of 293.16 billion yuan; 99 collectively started projects with a total investment of 216.49 billion yuan; There are 44 collective opening projects with a total investment of 71.94 billion yuan. Super positioning brings huge imagination. At the beginning of this year, the work report of the Guangdong provincial government clearly stated for the first time that it supported Guangzhou to build a national artificial intelligence and digital economy experimental zone. This means that the Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy will be built into a national platform. In February, the Overall Plan for the Construction of Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy was published in the No.1 Document of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in 2020, proposing to build Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy with Pazhou as the core and Pearl River as the link, which marked the full launch of Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy with a total area of about 81 square kilometers. Super positioning brings huge imagination space. Guangzhou Experimental Zone of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy has built a spatial pattern of "one river, two banks and three districts", with a total area of about 81 square kilometers and the volume equivalent to 13 Pearl River New Cities. Pazhou core area (including Guangzhou University Town), with a total area of about 48 square kilometers. Tencent, Alibaba, Gome, Vipshop, Xiaomi, Fosun and other artificial intelligence and digital economy giants have gathered together, and headquarters buildings have sprung up. High-end scientific research platforms such as Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Laboratory (Guangzhou) and Tianhe No.2, and Guangzhou Internet Court, one of the three largest Internet courts in China, have successively settled down to jointly create "Digital+Exhibition+Headquarters+Scientific Research".A new highland of industrial integration and innovation. Guangzhou International Financial City, with a total area of about 8 square kilometers, is rich in modern service industry resources such as finance and trade, and there are many leading enterprises in science and technology.

After all the projects are put into production, the total operating income is expected to be about 160 billion yuan. Among them, the total investment of 14 contracted projects reached 74.1 billion yuan, and the output value of 30 newly started projects exceeded 60 billion yuan. Twenty-two Measures for the Pilot Area "Escort" While promoting the construction of key projects in the field of digital economy, Guangzhou’s policy support continued to exert its strength. The day before the event, Guangzhou simultaneously issued "Several Measures to Accelerate the Creation of a Digital Economy Innovation-oriented City", proposing seven major measures and 22 measures to provide a good policy environment for the development of Guangzhou’s digital economy. The "Several Measures" clearly takes Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone as the core space carrier and innovation source, and puts forward the coordinated development layout of "one core and many points" in the city’s digital industry agglomeration development. It is the first programmatic policy document for the innovative development of Guangzhou’s digital economy and the first declaration for Guangzhou to attract investment and talents in the digital economy field. In the policy, it is pointed out that Guangzhou will give full play to the platform role of Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone, increase land reserve and transfer, focus on solving land use problems in major projects, corporate headquarters, technology research and development, and application of results, and form industrial agglomeration development by strengthening land spatial allocation support.Give priority to ensuring the development of digital economy enterprises and the space demand for innovative talents. We will increase the implementation of project approval, acceptance of vacancies, notification of commitments, and trust approval, and open a green channel for approval of major projects. The newly introduced digital economy headquarters enterprises can be awarded a maximum of 50 million yuan. For particularly important projects in the field of biomedical digitalization, based on the market evaluation land price, the starting price of transfer is comprehensively drawn up with full consideration of the project characteristics. Some key projects in the three major areas are counted one by one in Pazhou core area (including Guangzhou University Town) Keywords: Digital Industry The "Overall Plan for the Construction of Guangzhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone" issued by Guangdong Province has clearly defined Pazhou as the core. According to Guangzhou’s first programmatic document on innovation and development of digital economy, "Several Measures for Accelerating the Construction of a Digital Economy Innovation-oriented City", Pazhou core area will rely on major innovation platforms such as artificial intelligence and digital economy Guangdong Laboratory (Guangzhou) to form a number of original technological achievements and application innovation demonstrations in the new generation of information technology, and also vigorously promote the headquarters construction of leading enterprises in the digital industry and continuously introduce global leading enterprises. The projects in the core area of Pazhou have the characteristics of "close integration of production and research", with top scientific research institutions and leading enterprises simultaneously.
