Poster of International Market

　 　 1905 movie network news Last year, Huang Zhengmin, a powerful actor who swept the best actor in major awards ceremonies, was a veritable "model worker". At the beginning of the year, the gangster love movie starring him, although the plot is a little old-fashioned, moved the audience because of his acting skills, and the film still achieved double box office success. Recently, he once again grabbed the Christmas file in Han Ying with his new film. With good audience reputation, the film became popular at the box office. Next, he has four new films coming out one after another, three crime action films (directed by Liu Chengyong) (directed by Luo Hongzhen) and (directed by Yil-hyeong Lee), plus a biography film (directed by Seok-hoon Lee), each of which is menacing and cannot be underestimated, which makes people have to admire the exuberant energy of this model actor.

　 　 The International Market, which is being shown in South Korea for Christmas, is a masterpiece of director (masterpiece) Je-gyun Yun who was born in Busan after five years, and is called the Korean version. The film tells the story of Dexiu (Huang Zhengmin), who has great ambitions but never lived seriously for himself, fighting for his family all his life. Starting in the 1950s, the film has experienced major historical periods such as the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the search for separated relatives, and has written a magnificent modern Korean history from the perspective of little people struggling to survive in the ever-changing historical ups and downs. The cast of this film is very bright, including Huang Zhengmin, Jin Yunzhen, Dal-su Oh, Jin-yeong Jeong, Zhang Yingnan, Luo Meilan, Jin Seqi and Jung Yunho.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin’s role as the hero, Dexiu, in this film is a challenging role, from a soft-blooded 20-year-old man to a perverse 70-year-old man. In a recent interview with Korean media, he said that Dexiu is a rare role, and he is a portrait of our fathers throughout our time.

Huang Zhengmin said that the appearance of childhood actors made him even more touched.

Talking about the new film: I hope the audience will resonate

　 　　Reporter: You have seen the film, right? What do you think?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Yes, I waited for a whole year after the filming. When shooting, I only saw my own appearance, and the pictures of other actors acting were all seen for the first time. At the beginning, the grand evacuation scene was Xiao Dexiu’s debut. I had read the script before, so I probably knew what the content was, but at the moment I saw the picture, tears flowed down like crazy. Some people distributed paper towels during the screening, but I used up all the paper towels I had prepared and borrowed them from someone next to me. (Laughter) I feel like I’m burning in my body. I don’t know why, but I feel more deeply about the pain and experience of Xiao Dexiu than the one I played as an adult.

　 　　Reporter: What prompted you to resolutely decide to participate in this film?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: One day, director Je-gyun Yun called and said that he wanted me to read a play. I asked him what the story was about, and he said it was about his father. At that time, there was a feeling that I was hit in the back of my head. After I got married, I had a child, and I slowly began to understand the psychology of being a father. At that moment, I thought I must play. The role of Dexiu can remind us of our father. In fact, the gathering between parents and children, even for a short time, can pave the way for mutual communication and understanding. This is the original intention of my choice to star in this film. I don’t want to make the character Dexiu too prominent, but I hope that he can become an ordinary character that everyone can think of his father.

　 　　Reporter: Can you tell us how you began to understand your father?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Actually, I don’t fully understand it. So the long-term way of life and communication doesn’t mean to change. Now, in fact, most of the time, I ask my father what he thinks through my mother. After I gave birth to my own child, I thought the child was so cute. After reading it again and again, I still want to see it, thinking that my father shouldn’t have seen me like this at the beginning? Why didn’t you say something nice to me when I was in pain in adolescence? Maybe it would make me less painful. But then I began to understand my father, not as a son, but as a man, and I gradually understood his thoughts.

　 　　Reporter: I just said that Dexiu represents the image of my father, and I want to perform a sense of ordinary. Can you tell me in detail what kind of universal ordinary feeling it is? What is the key to playing the role of father?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Actually, it is relatively easy to give a character a personality. For example, in the script, the character Dexiu actually has a lot of experiences, but I don’t want to use so many events and experiences to create a portrait of a character. Instead, I try to keep the character in a colorless state, so that the audience can project it to their father when watching everything he experiences, and try to handle the character with this ordinary feeling.

　 　　Reporter: The role you played in this film spans from the 20th generation to the 70th generation. Is there any difficulty?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: To tell you the truth, I think this may be a role that I will never meet again in the future. It’s either a big loss or a big gain. This work contains romantic love, comedy, popular drama and other diverse elements, and it has to be interpreted from the 20th generation to the 70th generation. It is a very rich corner color, and I am very grateful to Director Je-gyun Yun for giving me this opportunity. With regard to acting in old age, I care more about the shaping of the character’s personality than the problems brought about by makeup, and how to show his old eccentric but warm complex emotions. This is the part that bothers me the most. Because if the 70 th generation is well played, it will be more natural to watch the 20 th and 30 th generations.

　 　　Reporter: The experience of this film Dexiu can also be said to have witnessed the development of the whole modern history of South Korea. Is there any preparation for this part of the information?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: I have consulted some relevant materials. Especially about the Vietnam War, a former fellow villager once participated in the war. He shared his experiences including persecution and escape at that time, and got great help from his description, including the psychological state of fear.

Talking about box office: unprecedented pressure and gratifying achievements

　 　　Reporter: Your work has maintained a relatively stable box office and word of mouth before, but it seems that there is always a step away from the blockbuster. I must have a lot of expectations for the box office of International Market, and it seems that the trend is not bad at present.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Before the official release, the word-of-mouth was not bad, but I don’t know if it can directly affect the box office. Later, I saw that the box office reached 180,000 on the first day, which was still a non-weekend achievement. To be honest, it was quite surprising, and the audience rating rose after the release. Under normal circumstances, there will be a certain decline. I am still in the hunger and thirst period of big sales (laughs). I feel that this is the return of director Je-gyun Yun after five years, which is considered to be a success.

　 　　Reporter: I heard that after director Je-gyun Yun finished reading the script, Huang Zhengmin was the first choice for Dexiu.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Honestly, I don’t know why. With such an age span and rich experience, I always feel that I am not the first choice among so many actors with outstanding qualifications. Perhaps it was because there were not many actors with suitable schedules to choose from.

　 　　Reporter: I heard that the character prototype of Dexiu is Director Yin’s own father?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: I didn’t know about it before. That’s why people cried at the screening, isn’t it When Jin Yunzhen sitting next to me was crying, I was still thinking, what’s going on? Only later did I know that the director was burdened with a heavy burden, but I didn’t ask more about it after the screening.

　 　　Reporter: In short, it is a very important work for Yin Dao.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Yes, although it’s not very important to me, it’s really too heavy for Yin Dao, and how much bitterness he has to bear during filming, so that’s why I especially hope this film can have a good result.

　 　　Reporter: I feel that your sense of burden is unprecedented this time.

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Even if it’s not just for the commercial box office performance, as the leading actor of a movie, it’s a lie to say that there is no burden. But I also know that my task is how to solve these burdens, and I can’t bring this burden to my actual work. I’ve been thinking about how to better show the integrity of the characters.

　 　　Reporter: Is your own father as blunt as Dexiu?

　 　　Huang Zhengmin: Although he is not as stubborn as honest and frank, he is usually a quiet person, so this role still resonates.

The second part of the 2024 annual departmental budget report

In this report, we try to answer these questions:

1. How is the Cannes Film Market held this year?

2. Can the online movie market accommodate all the transactions during the film festival?

3. Can film producers buy this year’s competition films online?

4. What is the impact of online market on movie trading?

5. What else can Cannes film market do besides trading?

Special feature of 1905 film network What to do in Cannes this year should be the topic that fans are most concerned about during this period. May every year not only means how more than 100 films will meet the audience, but also means that those films will become the focus of discussion by the audience in the coming year, and what kind of films will be displayed at major film festivals.

　

Cannes Film Festival not only provides a few months’ talk for fans, but more importantly, it is one of the largest film markets in the world. In May, together with directors, actors, producers and the media, there were also representatives of film companies, agents, distributors, film foundations and other people in the industry from all over the world.

　

The market set a record in 2019　How to face difficulties in 2020?

2019 is the 60th anniversary of the Cannes Film Festival film market, which has welcomed more than 12,000 participants in an unprecedented way. This year, when the selection of three parallel units was cancelled and the date of the official screening unit was ambiguous, the future of the film market and the screening markets in many countries behind it became a topic of more concern to the industry.

　

Now, the film market has decided to hold it online this year. In its official statement, this year’s online film market will fully simulate every function offline, from the agent booth to the film agency exhibition hall; From online video conferencing to online watching movies; There will even be online forums.

But at the moment, will the online movie market still maintain the vitality of offline every year?

　

"In our platform, the film market accounts for about 10%." David, a reporter from a film media who has reported the Cannes Film Festival for many years, said, "This year, I don’t think the impact will be great, and maybe there will be a lot of transactions."

　

The person in charge of the film market said that 80% of the publishers they consulted were willing to try the online market; 66% still have the ability to buy films including films, post-production and script creation.

　

The person in charge stressed that this year’s online film market will provide an efficient and cutting-edge platform for film screening, trading and financing. The online movie market has been scheduled for May 22nd for a week.

　

Online movie market　Can you replace the seaside luxury hotel?

Walk into the movie palace and go down the stairs directly to the basement. These hundreds of planes and the two floors above them are the movie market in Cannes. Film companies and agents from various countries distribute thousands of film copyrights to all parts of the world here.

　

But among other movie people, there is an invisible "market" in Cannes, which is located in hotels lined up by the sea. Larger film companies often negotiate cooperation here. Someone from a film company once said: "The films in the movie palace market are basically films that no one wants after the copyright is robbed."

　

When the film market appears online this year, will there be "two markets"?

　

"I don’t quite agree with this statement." Li Yihua, the person in charge of Nianhua outside the window, said. In recent years, she has bought the China rights of many films in Cannes and other film festivals. "The so-called hotel is the second market, which may be a relatively large company and needs more freedom. I think the difference between talking about business and not talking about business is not so big, but the conditions and timing of negotiation. "

　

Li Yihua believes that the film market of the Film Palace actually plays an important role for sales companies to develop new customers and buyers. This is also the necessity of the existence of the official film market in Cannes.

But this year, the market turned online, and she felt that it might not be so friendly to new buyers. When selling films, sales companies may have concerns in the face of buyers they have never met.

　

In the Cannes film market transactions in the past few years, even many familiar companies talked about their cooperation intentions long in advance in order to improve the efficiency and success rate of the transactions during Cannes. Li Yihua mentioned that for new buyers, online film festivals may also bring difficulties. Not knowing the sales company and not meeting in advance will reduce the success rate of the transaction.

Advantages and disadvantages of online market　Can a film dealer buy a competition film?

The official statement of the film market of Cannes Film Festival seems to be a reassurance to film practitioners. Perhaps the only worry is what kind of films can be bought this year.

　

Recalling the experience of buying films, an industry insider who went to Cannes Film Festival all the year round revealed that every time, he had to sit down at the booth of the Film Palace market, listen to the seller’s introduction, and then spend two or three minutes watching a film. If a company has 10 films, it may take 30 to 40 minutes to watch it, and then he can start to talk about conditions, and basically he will not decide whether to buy a film immediately. Actually, it’s a waste of time

This year’s film festival was held online. In the eyes of this industry, it actually saved a lot of time for purchase and negotiation. "The same work can be done online, and there are written materials in advance, which can make better decisions. If there is a link to the demo, everyone in the company can watch it. More flexible. "

　

Li Yihua, who buys copyright for her company at major film festivals every year, agrees with this view. She said that she has to fly to four or five film festivals every year to hold meetings, watch films and sort out materials in a few days. The time is particularly tight: "If you are online, the time on the road and the time difference will be omitted. It will be more efficient for everyone to watch films directly."

　

Li Yihua told us that at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, she chose to watch the film online at home and then make a decision to buy the film: "Some foreign companies anticipated this problem and sent us the link when they showed it in Berlin. I watched a lot of competition films, and the last film I bought won this year’s Golden Bear. "

　

David, a film journalist, is generally optimistic about the online market this year. He thinks that in this year’s environment, the copyright transaction volume of online broadcasting may reach a new high. But at the same time, he is worried that because the market is held before the film festival, filmmakers may not be able to buy any "explosive" movies.

"The online market will not have much impact on procurement." Li Yihua said, "But if there is no nomination, or a stunt like a competition unit, I think it will be very difficult to buy a film." She mentioned that more than 100 films in the official and parallel units of Cannes will be concerned by the domestic media because of the name of "Cannes", but this year’s changes will make her more cautious in buying films.

　

The online transaction is solved.　Where is the offline activity going?

"The film market is a more specific, practical and functional trading platform extended by the film festival. It will include market screening, forum activities and so on, and its diversity and inclusiveness are also very important." According to Liu Lei, the operation director of China Film Foundation’s Wu Tianming Youth Film Special Fund, this is a very important part of the offline activities of Cannes Film Festival.

　

Liu Lei mentioned that the world filmmakers attracted by Cannes Film Festival will help young filmmakers understand the necessary practical skills such as film promotion skills, joint production, international finance, market strategy, market distribution and international sales.

　

Therefore, for filmmakers, the film market is a platform for buying and selling film copyrights. But at the same time, the establishment of this market is also helping young people in the industrial chain to stand on the international stage faster.

　

Liu Lei gave us an example: Xiao Gancao, our producer, was greatly encouraged after he came to Cannes. Before that, he never thought that famous actors could be used in this project, but after returning to China, he found Duan Long, and after many conversations, he "knocked him down" and became the star of the film.

When the movie market moves online, what will happen to these projects and forums outside the copyright?

Liu Lei did not disclose whether there will be relevant arrangements for this year’s Wu Tianming Youth Film Special Fund. But he said: "Some of the things that the Foundation can do is to help filmmakers in need to answer their doubts. Of course, switching to online also represents a lot of workload for Cannes film market staff. If there is anything we can do, we are also willing to contribute. "

Whether it is the Cannes Film Festival or the international film festivals in Beijing and Shanghai, for them, the work is not only a screening, but also an important part of the global or regional film industry system. The film market turnover of Beijing International Film Festival is increasing year by year; The venture capital unit of Shanghai International Film Festival has become a climate. At this time, it is even more necessary for filmmakers to support each other and make the film industry develop continuously in a new form.

　

In the interview, Liu Lei said: "Under such a global crisis, we can use this time to reflect on the future development of the film, the film itself, its commercialization, cultural attributes and so on. The film has never stopped for more than 120 years, everything will pass, and we will eventually get back on the road. "

On the evening of March 18th, at Chery’s press conference, Chery officially announced that it would officially "resurrect" the QQ model and adopt the pure electric mode. However, from the press conference, compared with the previous version of the national car fuel car, this Chery QQ, which will be listed at the Shanghai Auto Show, is no longer an A00-class car, and it is expected to be an A0 or even an A-class pure electric car.

With its low price and lovely appearance, the first generation of Chery QQ did successfully break through 10,000 monthly sales after its release in 2005. At its peak, Chery QQ occupied 60% of the mini-car market, and its cumulative sales exceeded 1.4 million. However, with the consumption upgrade of consumers in China, the sales volume of Chery QQ gradually declined, and it stopped production in 2014.

At the end of the model, Chery also tried to counterattack and launched QQ me, which was positioned as a light luxury, but it was vomited by consumers because of its avant-garde style. The model was discontinued two years after its launch, with a total sales volume of less than 2,000 units. This also shows that for consumers, the customers of A00-class cars always rank in an important position in terms of face value.

For Chery’s resurrection of this car, in fact, the previous comments were mixed. You should know that the resurrection of Fengyun series has also been controversial. But such a classic IP is also the only way for Chery to resurrect. After all, both SMART and other classic brands have launched their own pure electric series. From this point of view, Chery’s resurrection of QQ may be a win-win situation for domestic sentimental consumers.

However, after this model goes on the market, it will encounter the combined attack of 600,000-100,000 A0 pure electric vehicles such as Volkswagen ID.3, Geely, etc. Besides the sentimental advantages of the name, what outstanding advantages QQ can break through is the most important part for Chery.

So do you think Chery QQ can win market attention and even sales after listing? Please leave a message for discussion.

For Lin Li, a Shanghai woman who runs a Chinese restaurant in new york, her "cold winter" began as early as the day when Wuhan was closed, and there is no sign of "thawing" until the summer.

In May last year, Lin Li and her church friends set up a stall in the food city in Queens, new york, mainly engaged in special stir-frying. The wall was full of pictures of 50 special dishes, from the crab powder cage in Shanghai to the diced chicken in chili pepper, boiled fish and yellow croaker noodle soup with Guangdong characteristics. Five workers are employed in the store, who are responsible for cashing, preparing meals and packing, and each has its own division of labor.

The food city is located in Amherst, in the west of Queens, a community famous for immigrants from all over the world, especially from Asia. This food stall, which was converted from a supermarket, accommodated 26 merchants. The scarlet letter signboard and the red and white flags hung on the eaves of the wall were striking. From cold rice noodles to Xinjiang cuisine, from fried rice noodles to mala Tang, I suddenly had the illusion of returning to China. Lin Li’s shop is located in the corner of the food city.

When Lin Li returned to the store after her 10-day Spring Festival holiday in China, the noisy voices in the past had disappeared and were replaced by the sighs of the empty hall and other stall owners. Rumors and discrimination have begun to permeate the lives of ordinary people. Many people regard Chinese food and Chinese people as carriers or sources of infection, and avoid eating in Chinese restaurants.

The empty streets in new york The pictures in this article are all taken by Pang Yuhong.

"As far as I’m concerned, restaurants are more hygienic than other restaurants, because we have been reading domestic information all morning, and we all know the seriousness of this problem, so we may be much more cautious than those foreigners." Lin Li said. For safety reasons, Lin Li also asked employees to wear masks and gloves. As the number of guests in the dining hall decreased greatly, she was worried about the wages of the workers every day. "Later, we finally got the wages for the workers, but we had no money to earn, and we still owed a lot of rent, water, electricity and gas, and we couldn’t pay them at all."

New york citizens wearing masks one after another.

China, the oldest city in Manhattan, is usually crowded with pedestrians, tourists and vendors selling fruits and vegetables, but it suddenly became an empty city in February, and even the amount of garbage collected in the garbage bins within its jurisdiction has dropped every day. Grace Young, a food writer, has lived in China for more than 40 years, and she knows a lot about restaurants in China. On a weekend at the end of February, she found that the Xixi Roast Meat Restaurant, which she often went to, was closed because of poor business, so she began to actively appeal to everyone on social media and radio to support the business of these Chinese restaurants.

Both the small restaurants in China and the food city where Lin Li is located have a common feature, which is cheap and good. You can buy a bag of fruit from a street vendor for two or three dollars, a bowl of wonton for 6.5 dollars, and a bowl of rice with Sichuan style stew pork for 9 dollars in Lin Li’s shop, which is far lower than most supermarkets and restaurants in new york.

"Many Chinese restaurants are small businesses, and their net interest rate is very low. They all rely on the sales volume to make profits. How much profit can you leave after a bowl of wonton is stripped of labor, raw materials, water and electricity, rent, tax and insurance?" Grace looked at the Chinese restaurant that was empty at rush hour and said to me with great regret.

As the discrimination against Asians continues to ferment, some violent incidents have also started to appear in the news frequently. Grace began to worry about her own safety after seeing reports that Asians were inexplicably attacked on the street and abused on the subway for wearing masks for several days. "I know that many of my friends have such unpleasant experiences. Our society is too crazy now." Speaking of this topic, she suddenly became nervous, then paused and muttered in a low voice: "I even think it is scary to talk about this topic. Who knows what will happen."

Lin Li’s son, who is going to college in other places, also specially called her to ask about her safety. Unlike Grace, who has scruples, Lin Li is more outspoken. "I think Americans are too arrogant. Especially after Trump took office, he made this racial discrimination clear and made it public, and then some Americans’ hatred was aroused."

When the timeline advanced to March, the United States became the "epicenter" of the epidemic. Compared with the concern about discrimination, the survival of restaurants has become a more urgent issue. On March 16th, the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, ordered all restaurants to close their in-house dining business, allowing only takeout and self-help meals. In the next week, Lin Li watched the Vietnamese rice noodles, Japanese food, cold rice noodles, saute spicy chicken, mala Tang and other stores in the food city close one by one. By the 23rd, only her restaurant in the huge food city was still open.

"Do you remember the end of Titanic? I watched our lights go out one by one, and I remembered the scene at the end of the movie, when four musicians played "Closer to My Lord" on the boat, and then people rushed to jump into the boat and escape. This felt very strange. " Lin Li said on the phone.

All the workers she used to hire took time off to go home for fear of the epidemic. As a result, all the tasks of maintaining the operation of the restaurant fell on Lin Li and her partners. In order to protect their own safety, she and her partner will lock the door from the inside every day after they arrive at the store, and put up notices on the gate asking the takeaway riders to wait outside.

Go out at 8 o’clock every morning, and when you arrive at the store, you just prepare the goods, prepare the take-away list, stir-fry and pack, and you can’t eat your first meal until 4: 30 in the afternoon. Lin Li vividly called this process "handing in homework".

In late March, thousands of supermarkets in new york City were temporarily closed due to logistics obstruction and manpower shortage, including three supermarkets near the food city. The wholesaler of vegetables and meat that used to deliver goods to the door disappeared, and the supermarket that often went shopping closed, which made Lin Li’s daily meal preparation process become a "treasure hunt" for driving to find supermarket supplies. "I used to shop around, but now as long as I can find a supermarket to open the door, I will go in and give the list to the boss, take the goods and leave, and I won’t compare prices at all." Lin Li said.

The difficulty in stocking has brought about changes in the dishes. There were 20 products on the take-away menu, but now it has been reduced by nearly half. One day, I received two orders for pickled bullfrogs, both of which made Lin Li feel embarrassed. When she went to the market to stock up the night before, she only bought a live bullfrog. Seeing that the time was too late, she could only contact the second customer who placed the order to cancel the order.

Not only are the raw materials difficult to find, but even the packing box has once become a problem. It turned out that the Aolong Catering Wholesale Market, where Lin Li often went, announced the suspension of business at the end of March, so she had to temporarily replace the lunch box. I didn’t expect to receive a complaint from a guest just two days after I changed the lunch box. A frequent visitor in the store asked why the amount of food suddenly decreased in the WeChat group. Lin Li sincerely apologized in the group in time and explained to the customer that it might be the visual difference caused by the change of the shape of the lunch box.

"Before, if you were missing something, you could borrow it from the restaurant next door, but now it’s gone, and if you are missing something, you will be told by the guests." Lin Li sighed. At this time, she received a WeChat prompt, showing that the number of WeChat steps on that day was 19,000, ranking first in the circle of friends.

While Chinese restaurants are struggling to find the source of goods, the sharp increase in the demand for take-away delivery has also prompted Lang Tao, who specializes in take-away business in new york and New Jersey, to change his strategy urgently. In 2014, he and his partners established a platform dedicated to the distribution of Chinese group meals-Yunban Newspaper, which regularly transports authentic Chinese food distributed in Flushing, Brooklyn and other places to the business districts and schools in Manhattan. Every day at noon and evening, it is often seen that white-collar workers and students queue up to take meals at their mobile distribution points.

In the face of the menacing Covid-19, the number of 100 merchants stationed in Yunban Newspaper has dropped sharply to 20, and Lin Li’s restaurant is one of the few merchants. Because most companies take home office and students take classes online at home, the original shopping route centered on the business district of Yunban newspaper can no longer meet the needs of users. Lang Tao discussed with the team urgently, and began to plan to deliver meals to some residential areas with dense Chinese, and adjusted the menu on the platform to cancel cold dishes and only heat dishes.

"Eating is just a need, so the average unit price of our orders has doubled during this period of time. But now, after all, the transportation capacity is limited. We may need to deliver hundreds of orders for dinner every day, which is already running at full capacity. " Wolf Tao said.

The delivery staff of Yunban newspaper goes to the merchant’s shop in Flushing every afternoon to pick up meals-they have a new dress code: protective clothing, gloves and masks, all of which are indispensable. Lin Li always secretly hopes that the delivery staff will come slowly. She usually deals with loose orders from Grubhub, Seamless, Uber Eats and other platforms at noon, and prepares dozens of group meals from Yunban newspaper in the afternoon. She and her partner are busy in the empty food city, fearing that they will not be able to prepare meals before the delivery staff arrives.

Heavily armed delivery staff

After entering April, the turning point of the epidemic in new york was delayed, but Zhang Wen, who was resting at home, couldn’t hold back and decided to return to work quietly.

Zhang Wen has been running Aolong Restaurant Wholesale Company in Flushing, new york for four or five years, with clients covering hundreds of Chinese restaurants in new york, Chicago, Maryland and New Jersey. After the outbreak began, the first thing he felt was that drivers were too difficult to hire, and sometimes he had to drive himself to farms and dealers to pull goods. After some supermarkets were closed, residents who wanted to stock up poured into the wholesale market to purchase. Zhang Wen looked at the sudden emergence of a large number of individual customers in the warehouse. First, he shortened the business hours and canceled the delivery service on March 23, and finally decided to temporarily close down at the end of March. At this time, 80% of the restaurants he had worked with had closed down.

"We were also very flustered at the time. After all, we were doing wholesale business. Suddenly, we saw so many families coming to shop, people came and went, and employees felt unsafe." Zhang Wen recalled, "In fact, the food reserves in the United States were abundant, but everyone rushed to buy them. As a result, the prices of ginger, garlic, spices and vegetables also rose."

A rare week of rest at home is not very enjoyable for Zhang Wen, who can’t help himself. "Every day, except playing with children, I just eat and sleep. After staying for a week, I feel that life is boring." During the rest at home, some old customers still call him to buy goods. In order to prevent a large number of passengers from entering the wholesale market again, Zhang Wen did not open to the outside world this time, but quietly opened the wholesale market to serve old customers.

The two-month stay-at-home order not only brought challenges to Chinese restaurant owners like Lin Li, but also gave birth to many fresh delivery platforms dedicated to serving Chinese people, distributing all kinds of meat, fruits and snacks sold by Chinese supermarkets to customers’ homes far away from Super League. This is an unexpected turn for Zhang Wen. "It turned out that the goods sold in Wechat business that we contacted were relatively simple, but now Wechat business, which comes to us to get the goods, has more diverse needs for fresh food, spices, fruits, rice noodles and snacks." Wechat business’s joining has brought new customers to Zhang Wen, and also made him pay attention to the development of online shopping sales model.

In the third week of April, Zhang Wen’s circle of friends, which had been silent for a long time, posted several photos of high-piled wholesale boxes. He wrote, "Chicken feet, South American golden wings, fat beef, ribs and pork have arrived … There are not many goods, so come and get them as soon as possible." A few days later, Mr. Zhang told me that some Chinese restaurants began to open their doors for take-out, and his wholesale market would resume normal business.

Almost at the same time, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States exceeded one million, and the number of infected people in new york still ranked first in the United States. Queens is the most densely populated area in COVID-19, new york, and Amherst Hospital, which was full of patients at the beginning of the epidemic, is only 5 minutes’ walk from the food city.

The handyman in the shop forwarded an article to Lin Li with the title "Look at crying, new york dies every 17 minutes, and the body is overloaded". In the face of such a situation, Lin Li is also scared. "When I buy goods every day, I see everyone lining up outside the supermarket. When I enter the supermarket, it is all the smell of disinfectant. Sometimes I feel flustered, I am afraid that I can’t get the goods and I can’t eat on time. "

"He just wanted to hint that I should go out of business quickly, but I know there are still many people who need to buy rice at this time. If you go out of business and watch the rising figures panic at home every day, it is better to be busy. " Now, she puts a gospel leaflet in every meal. She thinks that at this time, people may need some light and spiritual support. And herself, at the end of the day’s work, looking at the order quantity displayed on the mobile phone, can only sigh happily and anxiously, "I have to work hard to hand in my homework tomorrow."

　　Siti guess is the first master in the 70kg kicking boxing field at present, ranking first in both kicking boxing and WMC and WBC Thai boxing, ranking first in both kicking boxing and Thai boxing. There is no need to describe the strength in words. There have been countless masters prostrating themselves before Siti guess, with K-1 king alone accounting for five. The "baby-faced killer" is not called in vain.

　　Then the question is coming. Siti guess if he has been beaten by KO? The answer is yes. Although Siti guess is hard to beat in boxing, it was defeated by TKO in Muay Thai. In the competition held in Omoni boxing field, Siti guess and Yi Q Sang competed for the final championship. In this pure Thai competition, Yi Q Sang kicked Siti guess in the shoulder with her fierce sweeping kick, and finally she had to abstain, but Yi Q Sang got 300,000 baht as she wished.

　　It’s no accident that Yi Q Sang was able to TKO Siti guess. He participated in more than 200 games after a break, and the winning rate reached more than 90%. He can have such a terrible winning rate in Thailand, and his strength can be seen. Moreover, most of the games he lost after a break were lost because he was too embarrassed and too ostentatious. In other words, if he played the game seriously after a break, few people could beat him.

　　Come out and hang out, you have to pay it back sooner or later! It’s no exaggeration to use this sentence in the fighting circle. In this year’s Sino-Thai competition in Wulin Wind, Xie Lei took revenge at home, and everyone was sweating before the game. In order to prepare for this game, Xie Lei specially closed the training camp for a month, and he was not happy when he got cold feet. Xie Lei, who was fully prepared for the battle, performed well in the ring, took advantage of his fast pace and flexible pace, and cooperated with the leg-throwing technique to always control the distance of the race in the middle and short distance, which made it impossible to make a strong break, while Xie Lei frequently suppressed a break with a combination boxing, making a small climax from time to time, and finally perfectly revenged Xiong Ziqiang.

　　In fact, Xie Lei killed more than one Muay Thai master, and there was a heavyweight master! That’s Durban Joan. Is this name familiar to you? That’s right, it’s Durban Joan, the champion of Lumpini, who once won a whirlwind Kang En in China, and was Yasankeli’s younger brother. Xie Lei’s victory over a break was a cross-level challenge (after all, a break was mainly 70kg and Xie Lei was mainly 65kg-67kg), so he won the point control, but in the face of Durban Joan, it was a bit like killing a chicken with a knife. In the first round, Xie Lei directly knocked down Durban Joan with a uppercut, and then a wave.

　　Dealing with Thai players is not Xie Lei’s best skill, but dealing with Japanese players is Xie Lei’s specialty. At present, Xie Lei has won seven consecutive victories against Japan, including Kubo Youtai, who was once the third in the world. Yesterday, Kubo Youtai won the K-1 world championship, which means that Xie Lei helped him get through the second pulse of Ren Du! In fact, in addition to Kubo Youtai, Xie Lei also killed Victor, the runner-up of clash of the titans, but this game is a commercial competition, and many people don’t know.

　　After killing so many masters, Xie Lei has a new challenge! That is to participate in the glory competition. Next month, Glory will hold the competition in China for the first time, and Xie Lei’s opponent is the famous Pepa Nong. Pepa Nong is the champion of Lunpini. He played with Wei Rui for four rounds and lost the competition because of being pressed. His strength is quite strong, which is also a big challenge for Xie Lei. Moreover, Xie Lei and Wei Rui are both from Liaoyang Innovation Club. They used to be teammates.

　　Rick Siti guessed the nemesis, KO Durban Joan, and defeated Kubo Youtai. This is the strongest policeman in China-Xie Lei! This time, she will participate in the glory competition, and Xie Lei has become the first China player in China to participate in two world-class competitions, K-1 and glory. I wish Xie Lei good luck and hope to play a more exciting game!

Jing

After the incident of APA hotel chain in Japan broke out, I believe that no Chinese will be willing to pay the money in his pocket to that guy named Yuangu Waizhixiong (this gentleman also publicly claimed through the Nihon Keizai Shimbun the day before yesterday that "he didn’t consider withdrawing related books"). In fact, in Japan, there are many chain-like low-cost hotel brands that have been deeply cultivated for many years. Many hotels with good location, good breakfast, cleanliness, comfort and no noise can stay at any time, and they still visit all over Japan without asking for APA.

Dong Ji lei

At present, this low-cost business brand under the Tokyu Hotel Group has 21 chain stores in Japan. Although the number is not at most, it covers tourist-intensive areas such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kumamoto, Okinawa and Hokkaido. Most hotels have great geographical locations, and some can be reached from the direct subway channel (such as Naha East Express REI). Dong Ji REI’s philosophy is "to live more like yourself and enjoy a moment of self-comfort in the hotel", so most of them adopt a natural environment without excessive decoration, the rooms are simple and bright, and all the facilities are very complete.

The breakfast quality of Dong Ji REI is good.

Among business hotels, the price of REI is quite reasonable. If you book in official website early, you can stay in a standard room for about four or five hundred yuan. If you join the club, you can get a 10% discount, and get discounts such as late check-out and dining points. Although the buffet breakfast is charged, it is still worthwhile. It provides more than 20 kinds of hot and cold food, which is quite rich in Japan’s low-cost hotels.

Dongheng INN

The largest brand in Japan’s cheap hotel chain, with 258 stores and 51,120 rooms, covers almost all tourist attractions. Interestingly, almost all rooms use the same equipment-the same lighting, the same tables and chairs, the same TV, etc., which is quite standardized. The advantages of doing this are obvious. Guests can get used to the facilities of each hotel as quickly as possible, but the disadvantages are also obvious at a glance-just as Japan sometimes gives travelers the impression that it is boring and dull.

Almost every hotel’s Dongheng INN rooms have adopted the same facilities.

In order to maximize revenue, many Dongheng INN hotels have abandoned lobbies, gyms, shops, etc., but the low accommodation prices still make it full of business. Also, the price per capita in 200 yuan is almost the bottom price on the premise of ensuring safety and cleanliness.

Like Dongji REI, Dongheng INN also has its own points system. In addition to being able to stay at preferential prices and accumulate points, it can also get a free single room voucher for every 10 nights.

Super Hotel

The Super Hotel, which advertises safety, cleanliness and comfort, can be called the Jinjiang Star of Japan. Since its establishment in 1989, it has opened 119 stores all over Japan, even in the secluded Shikoku region.

Super Hotel are mostly located around subway stations or business districts with convenient transportation, and the prices are quite affordable. People can stay for one night with more than 200 yuan per person, including breakfast. Some hotels even have hot springs for guests to use for free. The password lock system is adopted for room check-in. Just close the door when checking out, which saves a lot of queuing time.

Super Hotel’s unique high and low bed room type

However, in my opinion, the biggest selling point of Super Hotel is its unique Super Room high and low bed room type, with a double bed on the lower bunk and a single bed on the upper bunk, which is suitable for odd-numbered friends or couples traveling with children. However, this room type is very popular, and it usually needs to be booked several months in advance.

Dormy Inn

As it belongs to Hotespa Hotel Group in Japan, which is famous for its hot springs, almost all 55 Dormy Inn hotels have their own natural hot springs or large baths, which is also the most attractive feature of this cheap hotel brand.

Almost every hotel can soak in hot springs.

Perhaps because of the hot spring culture, Dormy Inn is very popular with Japanese locals, so it is best to book it a few months in advance. Compared with Super and Dongheng INN, the price of this brand is slightly higher, about 700 to 800 yuan in normal season, including free hot spring bathing and Lamian Noodles supper.

Breakfast is usually not included in the room rate, but it’s worth it. Because every Dormy Inn uses local specialties to make different breakfasts, such as Izumo buckwheat noodles in Songjiang and sweet shrimp paella with roe in Otaru, people get up and throw themselves into the hot local life.

Villa Fontaine

This is a chain hotel brand based in Tokyo. Of the 15 stores it currently has, only Osaka and Kobe each have one seat, and the remaining 13 stores are located in different blocks of Tokyo.

The facade of Villa Fontaine Hotel is very cosmopolitan.

Don’t be intimidated by the word Villa. I think this is a tall hotel brand with a very hot price. Villa means that compared with the cramped room area of most cheap hotels in Japan, its home has relatively spacious room area and bed size. This is especially important for families traveling with young children. It is important to know that most Japanese budget hotels do not have an extra bed policy for big bed rooms, so whether the bed width is 140 or 160 is very important. In addition, most hotels have coin-operated washing machines and dryers, which is also a plus for those tourists who don’t want to waste their time on washing and rubbing.

The price of the superior big bed room in the hotel is around 600 yuan in normal season, including breakfast. But don’t expect too much, because breakfast only provides very simple toast and coffee, no matter how good you eat, just eat.

Route Inn

A chain brand with a scale comparable to that of Dongheng INN but a relatively weak presence, with more than 40,000 rooms distributed in small and medium-sized cities in Japan.

Free parking is a major feature of Route Inn, but it doesn’t mean much to China tourists-China driver’s license is not recognized in Japan. Another feature that you can use the Ponta points of Rosen convenience store to deduct accommodation fees is the same.

Route Inn, which is very popular in small and medium-sized cities in Japan.

However, this does not mean that the Route Inn Hotel is unattractive. Like all the hotel chains in Japan, its rooms are small and clean, well-equipped, and the price is reasonable. In some small cities, such as a double room with broadband and internet access, it costs only 400 yuan a night. Some hotels also offer buffet dinners with very high cost performance, such as Route Inn in Hekou Lake. You can enjoy crab feet and smoked salmon at the price in 100 yuan.

　　If the industry is prosperous, all industries will prosper, and if the industry is strong, the economy will be strong. Looking back on the development of the western region and promoting the high-quality development of the western region, industry has always been an important foundation.

　　On the afternoon of April 23, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over a symposium in Chongqing to promote the development of the western region in the new era and delivered an important speech, giving clear guidance for further forming a new pattern of great protection, great openness and high-quality development with six "persistences".

On July 30th, Huang Qiang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor, presided over a video dispatching meeting on the prevention and control of the emergency headquarters epidemic in COVID-19, stressing the need to seriously study and profoundly understand the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, adhere to and make good use of the positions, viewpoints and methods that run through it, and resolutely implement the general policy of "dynamically clearing" and the important guiding spirit of "preventing the epidemic, stabilizing the economy and ensuring safe development". In accordance with the requirements of Wang Xiaohui, secretary of the provincial party Committee, we should adhere to the principle of putting people first and life first, firmly establish the bottom line thinking and extreme thinking, take the fastest and most resolute action to encircle the enemy’s forces and put them out, realize social clearing as soon as possible, and try our best to win this round of epidemic encounter and stop the war, so as to minimize the impact of the epidemic on economic and social development.

Huang Qiang pointed out that our province has recently been hit by two rounds of epidemic superposition. With the joint efforts of all of us, the epidemic risks in many places have been continuously reduced or controlled. The "July 15th" epidemic has basically ended, and the prevention and control of the "July 20th" epidemic is at a critical moment. All localities and departments must further raise their awareness, clearly realize that building a defense line against the epidemic is the premise of doing all the work well, implement the deployment of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government to the letter, continue to check and plug loopholes, concentrate on tackling key problems, fully block the virus transmission chain, and resolutely avoid indecision, indecision and indecision, and resolutely prevent the epidemic from tailing.

Huang Qiang stressed the need to deal with the current epidemic quickly and decisively. Chengdu should pay close attention to the core task of chasing the sun and breaking the chain, carry out tough actions, implement hierarchical classification prevention and control measures, upgrade the management and control, and the static management area should really calm down and resolutely chase the sun and break the chain in the shortest time; Other cities with epidemic situations should "catch all the infected people" as soon as possible in combination with the actual situation, and do a solid job in finishing the work to prevent new imported epidemic situations; All localities should pay close attention to the strict and detailed investigation of risk personnel to ensure that no one is missed and control is in place. We should profoundly learn from experience and lessons, and always be prepared for winning a new round of encounter and blocking warfare. We will not slacken our efforts in implementing the "inspection when entering Sichuan", neither overweight at different levels, nor put guns into storage, and lose our armor. We will guard the "national gate" and "provincial gate" to quickly and effectively improve the ability to deal with the epidemic situation, dynamically optimize the normalized prevention and control measures according to the situation, fully consider the extreme situation of the superposition of epidemic situation and disaster, and establish a flat command system with cities and States as units. Once an epidemic situation occurs, the main leaders of municipal party committees and governments will both take the lead and go out. It is necessary to strengthen care for frontline medical staff and community workers in epidemic prevention and control, scientifically organize rotation and rest, carry out "send cool" activities, and increase publicity. We should stick to the bottom line of safety, pay close attention to flood control and disaster reduction, production safety, social security and other work with the sense of responsibility of "always worrying", and spare no effort to protect people’s lives and property.

The epidemic prevention and control team informed the current epidemic situation and the next step. Chengdu, chenghua district, Deyang, Neijiang, Living Materials Support Group, Transportation Group, Public Security Department and Provincial Big Data Center made speeches.
