Putin: Russia has never refused to negotiate peace with Ukraine. We must consider how to end the "tragedy" of the Russian-Ukrainian war.

[Global Times correspondent in Russia Sui Xin Liu Yupeng] When Israel and Hamas finally reached a temporary ceasefire agreement after difficult negotiations, international public opinion turned its attention to Ukraine: When can the Russian-Ukrainian conflict resume peace talks? Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the G20 leaders’ video summit in Moscow on the 22nd local time that he must consider how to end the "tragedy" of the Russian-Ukrainian war. He said that Russia has never refused to hold peace talks with Ukraine. Reuters said that this is Putin’s most soothing remarks about this conflict recently. At present, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is deadlocked on the front line. In response, Ukrainian President Zelensky admitted on Fox TV on the 22nd that this "is spreading pessimism to western supporters in Kiev". Politicians and media in the United States and Europe have recently frequently reported that the United States and Europe are privately persuading Ukraine to negotiate with Russia on ending the war. Many analysts believe that with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict lasting for 21 months, the United States and Europe supporting Ukraine are also in trouble, and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict may have reached a key node.

Putin issued a new call for peace talks?

"Peace Efforts-Putin Calls for Consideration on How to End the Tragedy of War", the Russian "Arguments and Facts" news website reported on the 23rd that Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a speech at the G20 Leaders’ Video Summit on the 22nd, saying that this war (referring to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine) was a tragedy. "Like any military conflict, this is a tragedy for a specific group of people, a specific family and the whole country," Putin said. "Naturally, we must consider how to end this tragedy." He also said, "Russia has never refused to hold peace talks with Ukraine." However, Putin also pointed out that "it is not Russia that publicly announced its withdrawal from the negotiation process, but Ukraine. Not only that, the Ukrainian president also signed a presidential decree prohibiting such negotiations with Russia. "

Reuters said that this was Putin’s first speech to G20 leaders since the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in February 2022, and it was also his most soothing speech so far. According to the report, Putin used the word "war" to describe this conflict, instead of the special term "special military action" used by the Kremlin before.

Regarding Putin’s words, Italian Prime Minister Silvio meloni, who attended the G20 leaders’ video summit, said on the 22nd that she was satisfied with Putin’s speech at the G20 summit on the need to seek actions to end the Russian-Ukrainian war. She said, "I heard that Russia hopes to solve the problem peacefully. I am very happy, but I think this can be demonstrated in practice soon. "

Russia’s Tsargrad TV station said on the 23rd that Putin’s statement at the G20 leaders’ video summit that he was considering how to end the tragedy of war aroused strong repercussions in the international community. According to the report, the current international situation is undergoing a dramatic change. With Russia’s progress on the battlefield, Ukraine and Ukrainian President Zelensky are gradually being "marginalized".

"Ukraine is in big trouble"

According to the Ukrainian Independent News Agency reported on 23rd, regarding Putin’s speech, Podolyak, director of the Office of the President of Ukraine, still insisted that "Russia has nothing to consider. The only solution is to immediately withdraw Russian troops from Ukrainian territory and make war compensation and bear other consequences. "

However, Ukrainian President Zelensky has been somewhat pessimistic in the past two days. For Ukraine’s failure to achieve a major victory in the battlefield against Russia, Fox TV quoted Zelensky as saying on the 22 nd that this "is spreading pessimism to western supporters in Kiev." When asked how Ukraine views the "counter-offensive against Russia that is currently struggling", Zelensky admitted, "This is not good news … It is very difficult for us."

"Ukraine is in big trouble," ABC quoted an anonymous senior Ukrainian official as saying on the 22nd, saying that while the United States was busy helping Israel to crack down on Hamas, the flow of American artillery shells to Ukraine decreased by "more than 30%". The official also said that American artillery shells "account for about 60%-70% of the total supply of Ukrainian artillery shells." He also expressed serious concern about the deadlock in the U.S. Congress on the issue of aid to Ukraine, saying that this may mean that U.S. aid to Ukraine will begin to dry up. He warned that this will make Ukraine risk a major setback on the battlefield, "the price is very high." He complained that although the United States promised to continue to provide assistance to Ukraine, "the promise of Americans is becoming more and more difficult to fulfill." The French newspaper Le Monde quoted Audelan, a military expert, as saying, "2024 will be full of danger for Ukraine … because the military equipment and ammunition that the West has delivered to them will be completely exhausted."

"The only weapon that can save Ukraine"

The "Russia Today" TV station said on the 23rd that Ukraine launched a high-profile counterattack in June this year, but failed to make any significant progress despite being reinforced by a large number of NATO weapons. In this regard, Zaluzhnyi, commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, admitted in an exclusive interview with the British "Economist" magazine a few days ago that "this conflict has reached a deadlock, which may last for several years and eat up Ukraine." He said that the Ukrainian army has been unable to break through the defense lines of the Russian army. "We (the Ukrainian army) are actually in trouble." It is reported that Russian Defense Minister shoigu said on the 22nd that Kiev suffered "great losses" in November, and it is estimated that the death toll of Ukrainian soldiers exceeded 13,700, while Kiev has lost more than 90,000 soldiers since the counterattack.

NBC recently quoted the current senior officials and former senior officials of the US government as saying that the United States and Europe have begun to secretly communicate with the Ukrainian government and push Ukraine to start negotiations with Russia on ending the war. According to the report, the willingness of the West to continue to support Ukraine is weakening. "Ukraine may really need to be prepared to give up something."

Russian TV station Tsargrad analyzed that after two years of conflict, the West has understood that the goal of completely defeating Russia is difficult to achieve. "The West has prepared for Ukraine to lose part of its territory."

"Ukraine still has the only weapon that can save itself: peaceful negotiations." According to the Italian daily fact news website, Zelensky is still asking the West for more weapons, although he has received everything: Leopard tanks, Haimas long-range rocket launchers, Abrams tanks, cluster bombs and Storm Shadow cruise missiles. However, the west has not yet invented a magic weapon that can make Ukraine suddenly defeat Russia. The only thing Ukraine can save itself is peaceful negotiations. Earlier, Italian Prime Minister Silvio meloni admitted in a telephone conversation with a Russian actor posing as the leader of the African Union: "We are close to the moment when everyone realizes the need for an exit path".

Analysis on the present situation and development of global biodiesel industry

In the EU, by 2030, the new consumption of biodiesel and fuel ethanol in the EU will only be over 1 million tons, and the UCO (waste oil) will increase by about 400,000 tons. The United States, 2023— In 2025, the use of biodiesel in the United States will increase steadily, and there will be some increase in the past two years. In Malaysia and Indonesia, only when B30 is implemented in the former and B40 is implemented in the latter, will biodiesel in the two countries increase significantly in the future.

[Definition of biodiesel]

With the improvement of urbanization in developing countries and underdeveloped countries, the growth rate of global oil consumption gradually increased before 2011. However, due to the slowdown of population growth, the growth rate of global edible oil consumption gradually declined, and even fell to a negative value in 2021, and began to recover in 2022.

The picture shows the global vegetable oil consumption growth rate and the global population growth rate (unit:%).

The picture shows the global edible consumption and industrial consumption of oil (unit: million tons).

The picture shows the growth rate of global edible oil consumption and industrial consumption (unit:%).

With the slowdown of global population growth, the growth rate of vegetable oil demand has declined. The growth rate of industrial demand such as biodiesel is bright, but the current consumption is less than that of edible consumption.

In 1897, Rudolf Dissel, the inventor of diesel engine, tried to use vegetable oil as fuel in his engine. The fuel made of vegetable oil and animal fat, which we call biodiesel, is mainly used in diesel engines, and has similar characteristics to diesel fuel from petroleum fractions, including biodiesel, renewable diesel, renewable jet/aviation fuel and renewable heating oil.

Biodiesel (first-generation biodiesel) is usually called FAME biodiesel or FAME for short, and is produced by a process called transesterification (FAME stands for fatty acid methyl ester). Pure FAME biodiesel made by this process is called B100 in the industry.

It should be emphasized that the first generation of biodiesel is not a hydrocarbon fuel like petroleum diesel, so it is different from diesel in several key aspects. First, the first generation of biodiesel contains oxygen, which reduces the energy volume by about 7%; Secondly, higher oxygen content will limit its storage time, because oxidation will lead to corrosion; Thirdly, when the storage tank is poorly managed, the chemical composition of the first-generation biodiesel makes it more susceptible to microbial pollution, which may lead to corrosion of the storage tank and blockage of the fuel pipeline; Finally, the temperature of the first generation biodiesel is higher than that of diesel. If the temperature is too low, the fuel will eventually solidify completely. Therefore, the mixing ratio of the first generation biodiesel and diesel oil is limited.

Renewable diesel oil (second generation biodiesel), sometimes called hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) or green diesel oil, is produced by various production processes. The hydrotreating process is similar to the process used in crude oil refineries to "crack" crude oil into gasoline, diesel oil and other petroleum products. Therefore, the first generation of biodiesel production facilities are increasingly being partially or completely transformed by crude oil refineries.

The first-generation biodiesel is fundamentally different from the second-generation biodiesel because it only contains hydrogen and carbon, making it the same hydrocarbon fuel as petroleum diesel. Although different from diesel, renewable diesel is very close to diesel and is considered as a "direct" substitute for diesel. In other words, renewable diesel oil can be used as a modern diesel engine without mixing with diesel oil, which is also more environmentally friendly and has relatively loose use conditions. At present, the United States, the European Union, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brazil are the main producers and consumers of biodiesel in the world.

[Comparison of consumption in different regions]

United States of America

The picture shows the production capacity of first-generation biodiesel and second-generation biodiesel in the United States (unit: million gallons)

Since July 2022, the production capacity of the first generation of biodiesel in the United States has been gradually surpassed by the second generation of biodiesel, because the latter is cleaner and more environmentally friendly, and in addition, it has received more subsidies when blended with diesel in the United States. By February 2024, the production capacity of the second generation biodiesel reached 3.857 billion gallons, while the production capacity of the first generation biodiesel decreased to 1.984 billion gallons.

By August 2023, there were 59 biodiesel plants in the United States, with a production capacity of 136 million barrels per day, mainly distributed in major soybean producing areas and coastal areas. In 2023, the utilization rate of the first generation biodiesel in the United States reached 82.07%, higher than 78% in 2022. The capacity utilization rate of the second generation biodiesel is only 70%, but it is also higher than 51% in 2022. In January 2024, the first generation biodiesel production in the United States reached 127 million gallons, which was lower than 136 million gallons in the same period in 2023. With the decline of production capacity, the output also decreased. The net import was 1.056 million barrels, the highest level in the same period in history, and the imports mainly came from Asia and South America. In January, the consumption of first-generation biodiesel in the United States reached 156 million gallons, higher than 142 million gallons in the same period in 2023. The monthly consumption was high, but the growth rate declined. At the end of January, the first-generation biodiesel inventory rose to 4.21 million barrels seasonally, slightly lower than the 4.29 million barrels in the same period in 2023, and the inventory was near the historical average.

In January, 2024, the output of second-generation biodiesel in the United States reached 237 million gallons, a record high, which benefited from the rapid expansion of production capacity and the continuous production blending profit. In January, the United States imported 855,000 barrels of second-generation biodiesel, the import volume was high, and the import source was the same as that of first-generation biodiesel. In January, the consumption of renewable diesel in the United States reached 156 million gallons, and the growth rate also slowed down, which was less than the growth rate of production. At the end of January, the inventory rose to 6.38 million barrels, the highest level in history. Therefore, compared with the first generation of biodiesel, the second generation of biodiesel in the United States was somewhat surplus.

The picture shows the annual increase of soybean oil used in biodiesel (unit: million pounds).

The United States is the second soybean producer in the world, so soybean oil has become an important raw material for biodiesel. Before August 2023, soybean oil accounted for the most of the raw materials, but it was later surpassed by raw materials such as animal fat and waste oil, mainly because the price of the latter was lower. At present, one pound of animal fat is 1 cent higher than one pound of American soybean oil. In addition, since the United States allowed the import of Canadian vegetable oil for the second generation biodiesel at the end of 2022, the United States began to import a large amount of vegetable oil, which also had an impact on the use of soybean oil. In February 2024, the United States consumed 888 million pounds of soybean oil, which was lower than 910 million pounds in the same period in 2023.

According to the estimation of USDA, the consumption of US soybean oil for biodiesel will increase by 800 million pounds in 2024/2025, and then decrease to 400 million pounds in 2025/2026, and will be less than 100 million pounds in 2027/2028.

EU

In 2018, the Renewable Energy Directive (Second Edition) (hereinafter referred to as REDⅡ II) was promulgated, requiring EU member states to achieve 32% renewable energy consumption and 14% renewable fuel in the transportation industry by 2030.

In 2021, the EU revised REDⅡ II. By 2030, the consumption of renewable energy in the EU will reach 40%, and the proportion of renewable fuels in the transportation industry will reach 26%.

On March 29th, 2023, EU institutions agreed to review RED(REDⅢ). On October 9, 2023, the Council adopted a new renewable energy directive (REDⅢ III).

The directive requires crop-based biofuels, such as biodiesel, ethanol and other renewable fuels, to maintain 7% in transportation, and the upper limit of the use of waste oil and animal fat remains unchanged. The main change is in advanced biofuels, that is, the target change of PART A in 2030, and it is specific to the sub-items.

It is estimated that the EU biodiesel production will reach 16.2 billion liters in 2023, an increase of 0.55% over 2022. The production capacity will reach 20.115 billion liters, and the capacity utilization rate will fall below 60% to 59.7%. There are 171 production enterprises in total, which is significantly lower than 212 in 2014. Among them, the output of second-generation biodiesel reached 4.2 billion liters, an increase of 0.6% over 2022. In 2023, imports increased by 11% to 3.6 billion liters. Consumption increased by 1.89% to 18.3 billion liters, and the ratio of storage to consumption decreased slightly to 3.99%.

In 2023, the EU consumed 15.08 million tons of biodiesel raw materials, an increase of 1.28% over 2022, which was the highest level in the same period in recent years. The EU is the region with the largest rapeseed production in the world. In 2023, the proportion of vegetable oil used in biodiesel rose to 42%, which is the largest oil used, reaching 6.375 million tons. Followed by waste oil, accounting for 29%, accounting for 4.35 million tons. Followed by palm oil, accounting for 9%, accounting for 1.4 million tons. In recent years, the proportion of vegetable oil use has increased slightly, the waste oil has increased steadily, palm oil has gradually decreased, and the rest oil has changed little.

At present, many countries have abandoned palm oil, and by 2023, the use of palm oil will further decrease by 15%. Since January 2020, France has excluded palm oil biofuels and become a pioneer in this movement. Austria also entered into force in July 2021. Although 2.65 million tons of palm oil reduced by 2030 can be replaced by UCO (waste oil) and bean oil (soybean is also a crop with relatively high ILUC risk, and the risk is only lower than palm oil), the proportion of fuel using UCO and other raw materials is limited to 1.7%, which is only 410,000 tons compared with 2023.

In 2030, the consumption of traditional biofuels based on oil and fat grains will be limited to 7%, that is, 19.6 million tons. Of course, it is not all biodiesel based on oil and fat, but also bioethanol. In 2030, the consumption of biodiesel (including hydrogenated biodiesel) with oil, UCO and animal oil as raw materials is expected to be only 18.3 million tons, with an increase of only over 1 million tons.

Therefore, in 2030, the EU biodiesel policy will have a relatively small increase in demand for oils and fats. According to the usage ratio and future targets, the consumption of renewable energy will still increase by more than 80 million tons. At present, the increase brought by the new policy is mainly advanced biofuel Part A..

Indonesia and Malaysia

Since the beginning of 2023, Indonesia has fully implemented the B35 biodiesel policy (diesel blended with 35% of the first-generation biodiesel). Due to the insufficient production capacity of the second-generation biodiesel, it has not continued to implement the target to B40(35% of the first-generation biodiesel and 5% of the second-generation biodiesel blended with diesel). In addition to successfully completing the road test in the transportation field, the government has also conducted tests in other fields. In 2023, Indonesia produced 13.15 million kiloliters of biodiesel and consumed 10.56 million tons of palm oil. The production target of 13.5 million kiloliters is set in 2024, but the new consumption of palm oil is only about 200,000 tons. Before the second generation biodiesel production capacity comes up, the growth rate of raw material consumption remains slow.

The picture shows the monthly output of biodiesel in Indonesia (unit: kiloliters).

In March, 2024, Indonesia produced 1.11 million kiloliters of biodiesel, which was the highest level in the same period in history. In March, the cumulative production was 3.4 million kiloliters, an increase of 14% over the same period in 2023. In March, the consumption of biodiesel was 1.01 million kiloliters, maintaining a high level, 1-mdash; In March, the cumulative consumption was 3.17 million kiloliters, an increase of 14% over the same period in 2023. However, exports are at a low level, with only 4,597 kiloliters exported in March, which is lower than 22,988 kiloliters in the same period in 2023, 1-mdash; In March, the cumulative export decreased by 90 kiloliters.

The Malaysian government intends to launch the B20 policy before 2023, but it has not yet been realized. It may skip B20 and look forward to the B30 mission in 2025, which is in line with Malaysia’s commitment to the Paris Agreement in the United Nations Climate Change Conference. In order to support the task of biodiesel, the government maintains an effective financial support mechanism implemented since 2006. This fund is calculated by Malaysian Palm Oil Bureau (MPOB) according to the tariff levied on palm oil, and it is expected to be 9.7 million US dollars in 2023, which is far less than the Indonesian government’s subsidy for biodiesel production.

At the 21st United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Paris, Malaysia promised to reduce greenhouse gas emission intensity as a proportion of GDP by 45% by 2030. At present, only Sarawak, Labuan and Langkawi have carried out the B20 mission. In 2023, Malaysia’s biodiesel production was 1.078 billion liters, slightly lower than 1.151 billion liters in 2022, but the consumption in 2023 increased by 60 million liters to 1.015 billion liters compared with 2022, and the export performance was also average, which decreased to 233 million liters in 2023. In 2023, the production of biodiesel consumed 991,000 tons of palm oil, which was lower than 1.059 million tons in 2022. Since 2018, the consumption of palm oil has not increased greatly, and it has remained around 1 million tons. If B30 policy is implemented in 2025, the annual palm oil consumption will increase by more than 500,000 tons.

Brazil

Brazilian Federal LawNo. 11097/2005 stipulates and establishes the legal authorization for the use of biodiesel as fuel, but there is no mandatory requirement. It was not until 2008 that biodiesel (B2) was compulsory in China, that is, all diesel must be blended with 2% biodiesel (B2).

On March 17, 2023, Brazil increased the current biodiesel rate from 10% to 12%, effective from April 1. This decision was made by Brazil’s National Energy Policy Committee (CNPE). In December 2023, CNPE decided to raise the requirement of biofuels to 14% in March 2024 and 15% in 2025.

Since Brazil’s biodiesel production target was raised, the monthly biodiesel production has gradually increased. In March 2024, it produced 740,000 cubic meters, which is at a historical high level, 1-mdash; In March, the cumulative production was 1.46 million tons, an increase of 36% over the same period in 2023.

Brazil is the world’s largest soybean producer and exporter, with abundant soybean raw materials, but in recent years, the proportion of Brazilian soybean oil in raw materials is 66%, which is lower than before. In 2023, the consumption of soybean oil was 4.61 million tons, and it is expected to reach 5.5 million tons in 2024, corresponding to the need to squeeze 4.81 million tons of soybeans. If the blending rate of B15 is smoothly and continuously implemented in 2025, 6.11 million tons of soybean oil will be consumed in 2025, and 3.2 million tons more soybeans will be squeezed than in 2024.

[Forecast of output and raw material changes]

In 2023, the total output of biodiesel in the United States, the European Union, Indonesia, Malaysia and Brazil reached 5.4 billion liters, and the United States surpassed the European Union to become the country with the largest biodiesel output. In recent years, the output growth rate of the United States is the fastest, followed by Brazil, Indonesia and the European Union, while Malaysia even dropped slightly.

The figure shows the proportion of vegetable oil and non-vegetable oil raw materials (unit:%)

Due to the preferential policies of governments on renewable fuels (such as waste oils and cellulose fuels), the consumption growth rate of vegetable oil raw materials has slowed down, and the proportion of vegetable oil raw materials in the total raw materials has decreased in recent years, while other non-vegetable oil raw materials have increased, so it also shows that the consumption growth rate of vegetable oil raw materials is lower than that of biodiesel production.

The picture shows the proportion of soybean oil, vegetable oil, palm oil and sunflower oil (unit:%)

In 2023, biodiesel production in the above five countries consumed 32.39 million tons of vegetable oil, higher than 28.29 million tons in 2022, of which palm oil consumption accounted for 29% of all raw materials, and its share declined year by year from the highest 36%. Soybean oil accounts for 25%, vegetable oil accounts for 18%, sunflower oil only accounts for 1%, and the proportion of palm oil, soybean oil and vegetable oil is declining year by year, mainly due to competition from non-vegetable oil raw materials.

For the sake of environmental protection, by 2030, the new consumption of crop-based biofuels in the EU, including biodiesel and fuel ethanol, will only be over 1 million tons, and the UCO will increase by about 400,000 tons, and the rest will mainly be cellulose, municipal waste and algae. According to the renewable fuel standard of EPA, 2023— In 2025, the usage of biodiesel in the United States will increase steadily, with 2.82 billion gallons in 2023, 3.04 billion gallons in 2024 and 3.35 billion gallons in 2025. However, the proportion of soybean oil is also squeezed by raw materials such as animal fat and waste oil, and there will be some increase in the past two years, but the long-term increase will decrease. Malaysia and Indonesia, as the main palm oil producers, will have a significant increase in biodiesel in the future only when the former implements B30(2025) and the latter implements B40, but at present, the increase in biodiesel in the two countries is still very small. If Brazil’s biodiesel directive is successfully implemented, Brazil’s biodiesel production and soybean oil consumption will be higher by 2025 and before, but there will be no increase from 2026, which requires further government support, especially for the second-generation biodiesel with relatively insufficient production capacity.

Yang Zi rolled over again? Hu Spicy Soup was reversed and picked up by Yang Zi, and Zhang Xue welcomed her love

The material in this article comes from the Internet. If it does not match the actual situation or there is infringement, please contact to delete it.

Since the media released the interactive video of Yang Zi and Liu Xueyi, Yang Zi was pushed into a rather embarrassing situation, and in the days that followed, she has been constantly exposed to "black history" and constantly made embarrassing things.

Especially after the "Hu Spicy Soup Incident" became a hot topic again, Zhang Xueying’s fans posted a series of clarification posts, which directly reversed the situation of the whole incident, and also caused Yang Zi’s image to be greatly negatively affected. Some netizens even began to jokingly call her a "liar" and questioned her character.

Now, let’s test everyone’s understanding of the "Hu Spicy Soup Incident".

First of all, have you heard that Zhang Xueying and Qin Junjie used the same spoon?

Secondly, have you ever seen reports that Zhang Xueying asked Qin Junjie to help her wipe her feet, and that the two were intimate outside the play?

Finally, do you have any memories of "Yang Zi helped Zhang Xueying clarify it at the first time, and then Zhang Xueying turned around and liked the ambiguous video of himself and Qin Junjie"?

If you answered "yes" to all three of these questions, then what follows may confuse you, and you may begin to wonder if your memory has been tampered with.

In fact, for the first time in the past four years, many people have seen screenshots of Zhang Xueying and Qin Junjie drinking Hu spicy soup together. It turned out that they did not use the same spoon together, but only took a sip and were called away by the director to continue filming. Later, when the two returned to the table again, Zhang Xueying couldn’t find her own spoon, so she picked up the bowl and took a sip. Therefore, Zhang Xueying and Qin Junjie did not use the same spoon together. You and I shared a bowl of Hu spicy soup one by one.

In response to the rumor that Zhang Xueying asked Qin Junjie to wipe his feet and the two were intimate outside the play, Zhang Xueying’s fans also provided relevant screenshots to clarify. First of all, there is no plot of wiping feet at all. In fact, Zhang Xueying needs to be barefoot in the play, and the shoes are always in Qin Junjie’s hands. Secondly, the so-called intimacy is actually in the filming work, which is a professional demand, not a private intimacy.

If the boundary between them is blurred, it is true, but it is too harsh to accuse Zhang Xueying of interfering in the relationship between Yang Zi and Qin Junjie.

Some people may ask, since Yang Zi also helped Zhang Xueying clarify the incident, why has it become the target of public criticism now?

This question is very simple, because netizens found that in the "Hu Spicy Soup Incident", Yang Zi has actually been the leader. Looking back at the events, the following key points can be found:

In November 2017, Yang Zi mentioned in a variety show that he dreamed of Qin Junjie developing a relationship with the same group of actresses, and emphasized the plot of the wedding scene, and Qin Junjie’s only wedding scene was with Zhang Xueying. This can be seen as Yang Zi’s first active intervention.

In May 2018, when the collaboration between Qin Junjie and Zhang Xueying began to air, Yang Zi intervened again in her reply to netizens and announced late at night that she would not break up. This is her second initiative. It is worth mentioning that similar behavior has led to widespread condemnation of actor Dou Xiao’s girlfriend, He Chaolian.

In July and August 2018, Yang Zi deleted her Weibo twice, which was her third initiative. At this time, rumors about Qin Junjie’s suspected affair with Zhang Xueying also began to spread.

On August 12, 2018, the Hu Spicy Soup incident became a hot topic. Zhang Xueying issued a clarification statement for the first time, and Yang Zi and Qin Junjie also officially announced their breakup.

However, after reviewing the "Hu Spicy Soup Incident" recently, netizens suddenly discovered a key turning point: Yang Zi did not reply to Zhang Xueying’s studio to clarify immediately, but waited for a full 9 hours, almost just when public opinion was about to subside. It is worth noting that during this time, her account was launched a full 57 times.

In the Internet age, there is a saying that is widely circulated: "It is easy to spread rumors, but difficult to refute them." Nine hours is enough for rumors to spread for several laps, and multiple versions are derived, such as "Yang Zi helped Zhang Xueying clarify it at the first time, and then Zhang Xueying turned his head and praised it."

This version of the ambiguous video "between himself and Qin Junjie has lasted for a full four years, and it was only recently that the truth was revealed.

In fact, Yang Zi did not clarify the incident immediately, and what Zhang Xueying liked was not the ambiguous video of herself and Qin Junjie, but the clarification statement about her affair with Qin Junjie.

After the Hu Spicy Soup incident was reversed, Zhang Xueying won the support and sympathy of many netizens, but unfortunately, although the nail was pulled out, the traces left behind would not disappear easily. Now, the only way out is to wish her to work hard to improve her acting skills, to shoot high-level works in the future, and to prove herself with strength.

As for Yang Zi, netizens continue to dig into her history of "misses" and likes over the years, as well as her lack of sense of boundaries with her fellow actors. We don’t know how much these events will affect her personal image.

Finally, I would like to remind all celebrities to keep in mind the principle of "cautious words and deeds" and be a kind person. Nowadays, netizens have very strong investigative skills. If there is a problem, they can easily strip your private life without leaving any privacy fig leaf.

To sum up, this incident tells us that in the entertainment industry, image maintenance is of paramount importance, and careless behavior can cause serious damage to a star’s career. I hope Yang Zi can not become the next "Zhang Xueying", and remind all stars to be careful with their words and deeds, so as not to become the "next target of bombardment" in the words of netizens.

First appearance of "Longyan" BYD Han EV/DM official map released

  A few days ago, BYD officially released its medium and large cars — — The official map of the EV/DM model of Han adopts a four-door coupe body design as a whole, and its drag coefficient is only 0.233Cd. It is understood that the wind drag coefficients officially announced by Geely Geometry A, Xpeng Motors P7, Guangzhou Automobile New Energy Aion S, Volkswagen ID. Spacedimension Concept Car and SSC Tuatara are 0.2375Cd, 0.236Cd, 0.245Cd, 0.24Cd and 0.279Cd respectively. At the same time, according to previous information, the car may be listed at the end of the second quarter/early third quarter (around June) in 2020.

Auto channel [January 10th] [Top List+Highlights List+Today's Focus] First appeared "Longyan" BYD Han EV/DM official map released.

  According to the official map released this time, the new car continues the family-style design language of BYD Dragon Face as a whole, and the combination of the heavily depressed front and the slightly raised three-dimensional lines on the hood creates a feeling of diving. At the same time, the flat and narrow light group with the lower three-stage air inlet and the slightly shovel-shaped front lip makes the new car look more dynamic and atmospheric.

  According to the official release, we can see that the reddish color in the picture is the Han EV model; Xuan cyan is a Han DM model. It is worth mentioning that BYD Han EV version has upgraded and evolved the family Dragon Face language in front face design, further improving its overall recognition and vehicle drag coefficient.

"Previously released preview map"

  In terms of side modeling, it uses a smooth arc to outline the slip-back body modeling, and the waistline with a strong sense extends from the back door to the rear of the car in an upward posture, making the whole side look like a sense of sight that is ready to go. At the same time, starting from the C-pillar of the car, the upper part of the car cabin is gradually narrowed, forming a beautiful and powerful wide shoulder shape. With the design of hidden door handles, the airflow direction that fits the car body is strengthened, the eddy current on the side of the car is effectively reduced, the wind resistance is further reduced, and the wind resistance coefficient is optimized.

"Previously released preview map"

  According to the official, the car that pursues low wind resistance pays attention to the design concept of "round front and rear". The more round the front section of the car, the faster it can fit the car body when the wind hits the car at the beginning, while the more square the rear section, the faster the wind can leave the car body at the rear. It is worth mentioning that the car is also equipped with a "pneumatic" wheel rim independently developed by BYD, and its hollow ratio is about 8%. This design can reduce the drag coefficient to a lower level while ensuring the heat dissipation of the brakes.

  In 2015, BYD released some parameters of the car under study (see the above picture). It can be seen that the length, width and height of the car are 4950/1890/1490mm and the wheelbase is 2940 mm. In terms of power, the front-wheel drive model is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 2.0T engine and a 150 HP front-axle motor, while the three-engine four-wheel drive model will also add a rear-axle motor with a maximum power of 476 HP. For more information about the new car, we will continue to pay attention. (Author: Zhouyi)

Xin Yukun, director of "Hot Search" roadshow: The weak are powerful, and the pessimists move forward.


1905 movie network news The film directed by, starring, and starring is being shown. The national roadshow of "Hot Search" and "Sound All the Way" came to Shenzhen, where director Xin Yukun and actor Song Yang exchanged views with the audience after the screening. At the event site, some spectators enthusiastically launched a "Cantonese class", and Song Yang’s subwoofer version of Cantonese once ignited the atmosphere.


After watching the movie, some viewers engaged in the media industry felt deeply, saying that they were deeply moved by Chen Miao’s initial news, and frankly said, "I am also engaged in the news industry, and I have a great sense of substitution for movies, and I burst into tears when I reversed." Director Xin Yukun shared that it is the journalist’s sense of responsibility and mission that drives Chen Miao forward. "I hope that after watching the movie, everyone can return to life and online public opinion and pass this power on.". Song Yang also said, "I hope this film will bring warmth and strength to the audience. When we speak for the victims rationally, we are the flame led by Chen Miao".


The situation of women resonates. "The blood pressure in front is soaring, and the gas can be seen in the back."

The mother felt the same way and bluntly said, "We need more Chen Miao."


In the film, director Xin Yukun depicts rich and vivid female group images from a delicate perspective. Some viewers felt that "the situation of women in the movie is too realistic. In the first half, the blood pressure soared, and later it was very deflated", which praised the ending of the movie. Director Xin Yukun said, "The reality is very cruel. We can usually see many women’s plight, and at the same time we can also see generate, a woman with strength. I hope to bring this strength to everyone.".


There was also a mother audience at the scene, who was poked by Zhang Xiaosui’s mother in the movie because of the helplessness of reality. "As parents, we should protect our children more consciously. Reality and network are complicated, and we need more people like Chen Miao." Shi Rui, who plays Hu Qiao, also shared the mental journey of the role. She left the Justice Team precisely because she stood in the female perspective and understood more about the helplessness and powerlessness of Xiaomou’s mother. Compared with justice, the child’s life is the deepest concern of a mother.


Children are full of emotion: when they grow up, they must not be "keyboard man"

The truth of public opinion is a wake-up call, "We must speak rationally in the future."


The sharp presentation of the film to the real online public opinion has also made many viewers think deeply. After watching the movie, some viewers said, "It used to be easy to be rhythmic. After watching the movie, I always told myself to be based on reality, and I must speak rationally. I hope all the truth can be revealed and the bad guys can be severely punished." Director Xin Yukun said, "I want to convey the power of women, truth and partners through this film, and I hope everyone will still have confidence in the world after watching it.".


A second-grade child said excitedly after watching the movie, "I must not be a keyboard man when I grow up!" " Children’s words detonated the scene, and the main creators praised him one after another, encouraging children to "study hard and join the justice team in the future." Xin Yukun, the director, said, "I hope everyone can feel the power we convey, and let the powerless be strong and the pessimists move forward.".


The film "Hot Search" is showing.


"Three Battalions" Blossoms Shanghai … The upsurge of film and drama linkage is coming, who is the strongest?


Special feature of 1905 film network "Please tell the director that the task of the third brigade has been completed!"With the movie showing all the way, the box office exceeded 470 million. The drama version of the same name was also launched while it was hot, creating a "new speed" of "film and drama linkage".


Two powerful actors, Harmony, performed the same role with different tastes, and the similarities and differences between the drama version and the film version also triggered extensive discussions among the audience.



At the same time, it is another attempt to adapt a hot drama into a film.The film version assembled the original crew of the series, and broke through 300 million with super-high pre-sales, setting a number of records.



In addition, Blossoms Shanghai, which is on the line today, is developing simultaneously with movies and dramas, and there is still a movie version to be shown. From "the drama is excellent, the movie will be reflected" to "synchronous development", what new tricks have been played by the film and drama linkage?



PART.1

It is not easy to "play well and make a shadow"


"Zhang Wansen, it’s snowing!" The series "Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle, Bright Stars" starring became the dark horse in 2022 because of the setting of "secretly love the ceiling", which also made this classic line spread all over the network.



Now, after two years, the movie version has landed on the big screen, and once it was officially announced, it gained a super high popularity. Whether it is the return of the original crew, the setting of making up for the regret of "Wanxing CP" or the ritual marketing of "going down to the snow field", the audience’s expectations are full.


Breaking through the pre-sale results of 300 million, the two major ticketing platforms are close to 2.5 million people who want to see it, which also makes "Twinkle, Twinkle, Bright Stars" another phenomenal case of "drama change".



It is the routine operation of the film and television market to adapt the film version after the drama is popular. The popularity of drama series has accumulated a natural popularity and fan base for the film, which not only greatly reduces the investment risk, but also further improves the IP value through the linkage of film and drama.


The recent Seeing You, Searching for Qin, treading on thin ice and Palace in the early years are all classic cases.



However, it is not easy to change from drama series to movies and from small screen to big screen. Although there are many successful cases at the box office, word of mouth is mostly difficult to surpass drama series. It seems to be a law that it is difficult to produce fine works by changing the drama into a shadow.


The problems mainly lie in the following aspects: firstly, whether the main creative team is unified plays a key role in whether the shadow version can continue the texture and quality of the drama version.


Due to the replacement of the main creative team, the quality is not as good as expected, which leads to word of mouth Waterloo. Although the film version of "Hua Qiangu" has not yet been released, it has also caused great controversy due to the casting problem, which has cast a "shadow" on the future of the film.



Secondly, there are obvious differences in content volume, creative logic and audience groups between film and drama series, and it is difficult to break through the "barriers".


Even the original cast is often "unaccustomed" and it is difficult to reproduce the classics of the series. Take "I Want to See You" as an example. Although the film version continues the same cast and lineup, it still fails to satisfy the fans because of the lack of narrative and staffing.



Third, feelings are a double-edged sword. Fans’ attention is both heat and pressure. If they are not careful, their word of mouth will bite back. At the same time, it is also a problem how to create a balance between drama powder and passers-by audience without setting too high a threshold for watching movies.


The big movie ipartment was criticized for "selling dog meat by hanging sheep’s head", which turned the national sentiment into a "tomb-robbing apartment" with a score of only 3.2. After the first weekend, the box office also fell off a cliff.


Although the film version of Love is Delicious continues the story and style of the drama version, many viewers reported that they watched an "extended TV series" and had a certain threshold for watching non-drama powder, so they failed to get out of the circle, and finally only 14.55 million yuan was recorded.



The above examples are enough to show that it is not easy to "break the wall" from the drama series to the movie, and people can’t help but worry about the upcoming "Twinkle, twinkle, bright stars".


PART.2

"Film and drama are open together" has become the new mainstream.


Different from the movie version launched after the series fire, more and more producers or copyright owners choose to put this process ahead, and determine the development mode of "one fish eats more" from the beginning, and the movie version and the drama version are promoted at the same time to form a set of "combination boxing".


The Three Battalions is a typical example. There are Wanda movies behind the film version and the drama version, and the time lines of preparation, starting, fixing and broadcasting are almost synchronous, which truly realizes the zero-time linkage of film and drama.



Yin Xiangjin, the chief producer, once explained the original intention and significance of "simultaneous development of film and drama". "A good story needs to be perceived by more audiences, and two different artistic expressions also have their own emphasis on content. Based on the advantages of long narrative of the drama, TV dramas can better explain the story, show the development of the relationship between the characters more delicately and shape the three-dimensional group image more comprehensively."


At present, the film version and the drama version of "The Three Battalions" do show this difference in creation, and also play a role in mutual drainage to a certain extent, but on the other hand, the "face-to-face" between the film version and the drama version has also triggered a concentrated comparison and discussion among the audience, which has brought great controversy and pressure to the early stage of the drama version.



Not only "Three Battalions", but also "Under Different Men", "Trident" and other projects have chosen a similar model. Tencent participated in the production of both the film version and the drama version of "Under the Alien". The drama version was directed by and won a good reputation after the broadcast, while the film version was directed by and will also meet the audience.


"Trident" also from the beginning of development, it has set a plan for the linkage between film and drama. Ma Ke, the producer and producer, once told the media that the success of the drama version has greatly promoted and publicized the film, so that the audience has a good expectation of watching the film and expects the film to gain good results through linkage operation.



The mode of "simultaneous opening of movies and dramas" is also very extensive in the linkage between online dramas and online movies. As early as the first season of "The Husband-in-law" was finished, the initial planning of the related derivative film "The Husband-in-law’s Good fortune is high" had already started, and it was chosen to be released between the first season and the second season, which well continued the popularity of IP.


During the same period of preparation for filming "The Wind in Luoyang", many IP-linked online movies, such as "The Yin and Yang Boundaries of the Wind in Luoyang" and "The Twin Chasers of the Wind in Luoyang", are also being developed simultaneously.



From the above examples, it is not difficult to see that the advantage of co-opening movies and dramas is that the production is convenient for unified control and coordination of the content, quality and broadcasting rhythm of the movie version and the drama version, and it is also a sign that the IP development of movies and TVs is more industrialized and systematic.


On the other hand, the "simultaneous production of movies and dramas" undoubtedly means higher costs and risks, and it is necessary to have enough confidence in IP and the cast. It is also worth thinking about how the film version and the drama version really play different cards, feed back each other’s enthusiasm and avoid "left and right fighting".


From drama series to movies, whether it is re-enactment, adaptation, derivation or continuation, we look forward to more gameplay of "movie-drama linkage" to maximize the value of IP.


Reality TV Show: Cultural Hidden Trouble Behind the Noise and Sensation

  [concern]

  From the party program represented by super variety show to the game program represented by Happy Camp; From the educational programs represented by Happy Dictionary to the talent show represented by super girls, China’s TV variety shows have come all the way, and now the reality show is in the absolute majority. In recent years, all kinds of reality shows have appeared in turn, making the audience dazzled by the trend of "dominating the screen". Generally speaking, a reality show refers to a TV program made by ordinary people (non-actors) in a specified situation, in accordance with the predetermined rules of the game, for a clear purpose, and at the same time recorded. Its charm lies in the use of virtual procedures and documentary techniques to show the personality traits or technical talents of participants in a real situation. In the new communication pattern, the competitive pressure inside and outside the industry makes the reality show seek a breakthrough through introducing mode or independent innovation, on the other hand, it also exposes the deviation of some production concept and the emptiness of value core in the process.

  What is the priority between documentary and drama?

  In terms of expression, reality show should take objective truth as the first sign. However, in the face of the massive information, rich audio-visual content and high-frequency mobile audience’s reception habits in the Internet ecology, many reality show creators choose to deliberately implant various dramatic bridges in the program to achieve the purpose of attracting attention for a long time. As a result, the reality show with reality as its life is more and more like a film and television drama with fiction as its core, with distinct interpretations of various "roles" and a "plot" structure full of dramatic contradictions and conflict tension, and even at the end of each issue, it shows the suspense and continuity of "If you want to know what will happen next time, listen to the next decomposition". No matter the fierce confrontation caused by "small tasks" and "chasing battles" in Running Man, or the comedy effect brought by participants experiencing different careers in "The Ultimate Challenge"; No matter the contrast of character in the team travel of "Flower Boys" or the strong affection in the intergenerational interaction of "A Whirlwind du tiful son", it is the application of typical dramatic techniques and the implication of dramatic strategies. And "Creative Reality Game Show", "Full Staff Acceleration" and "Historical Experience Reality Show" and "Let’s Go Through" employ professional directors and screenwriters to elaborate "stories".The program flow is integrated into multiple time and space such as history, plot, science fiction and games, and the content and form are similar to those of film and television dramas.

  This dramatic treatment from the inside out does enhance the appreciation and communication of the program, but for the reality show, is such deliberate subjective intervention somewhat presumptuous or putting the cart before the horse, and will it blur its essential attributes and consume its development potential in the long run? Reality shows do not exclude drama, but we should be alert to the "artificial" drama. High-quality reality shows should subtly hide the dramatic effect in objective documentary images, instead of piling up heavy drama paradigms and situations in advance when planning programs. For example, the most typical narrative mode at present is to assign tasks to each participant or each group in the form of "task cards", in which the links are set for the purpose of causing fierce confrontation, and the turning point strives to achieve the effect of "last-minute rescue". It is true that the aesthetic confluence with film and television dramas may temporarily improve the ratings of reality shows by u sing elements, paragraphs and clues similar to "characters" and "plots", but in the long run, it is likely to overdraw its unique aesthetic personality and eventually make it difficult to become "this one" in the TV variety gallery independently.

  How to play the "star" card well

  Nowadays, a large number of reality shows are closely linked with "stars". Due to the lure of sky-high remuneration and ultra-high exposure, many out-of-date actors and popular stars flock to the production of reality shows. Not only do they get another hit during the broadcast of the show, but even their families become popular overnight and their prices soar. It can be said that some reality shows are no longer dream platforms and interactive spaces for ordinary people, but have evolved into vanity fairs that create all kinds of entertainment gossip and lure stars to compete.

  In July 2015 and March 2016, the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television successively issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Reality Show Programs and the Notice on Further Strengthening th e Management of TV Satellite Integrated Channels, demanding that reality show programs "should be abandoned ‘ Watch by star blog ’ Misunderstanding, correct the tendency of relying solely on stars, and not turn the program into a place to fight for stars and show off wealth. ""Strictly control minors’ participation in reality shows, and they are not allowed to publicize and speculate on star children in entertainment reports and other programs. " This has largely curbed the previo us excessive star-studded momentum of such programs. However, the recent reality show has added stars with some whimsy, such as Come Champion, which brings together sports stars, The King of Cross-border Songs, which makes movie stars cross-sing, and Familiar Taste focuses on the growth experience of stars in the name of "food love". In addition, there are also some phenomena that hide people’s eyes and ears in the name of the program. For example, the original "Flower Boys" was renamed as "Flower Boys", and the second season of "Idol Comes" was renamed as "Here We Come". At first glance, it seems to weaken the star effect, but the content is changed, even worse than before.

  Indeed, "star" is a part of popular culture, and healthy "idolize" is also a normal social phenomenon. As a TV program type covering the whole society, reality show obviously can’t shield the "star" element, but its creators should be cautious in this issue: First, they should not rely too much on stars as the whole point of view of the program, nor should they spend a lot of money to invite so-called "big names" and "big coffees" to encourage the extravagant comparison of program production; Second, we should not limit our vision to performing stars. There are many people from all walks of life who are famous for their honest work. If the star ind ividuals with more diverse identities can be integrated with the program content, it may better highlight the inspirational spirit and the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature. Third, we should devote ourselves to building civilian stars, provide a stage for the millions of ordinary people in Qian Qian to display their talents, and upgrade the quality level with humanistic feelings. After the programs such as The Voice of China, Music Master Class and the legendary swordsman used the mode of "star tutor+common people students", I want to sing with you made some innovative explorations on the interaction between stars and ordinary people. The most touching thing is that ordinar y people uploaded videos that sang with star singers in the same frame through the mobile Internet APP, and the happy scene of "singing by the whole people" in the program had a strong sense of closeness, substitution and resonance for the audience.In a word, the star in the reality show is "use" rather than "body", "technique" rather than "Tao", so we must not give up the basics.

  How to pay attention to nutrition in entertainment

  Obviously, the reality show can’t survive without entertainment, but if it stops at entertainment or even "entertainment to death", it will be empty and shallow, and it will inevitably lead to quick birth and quick death. For a TV program, it is really difficult to make the audience really feel "interesting"; It is even more difficult for the audience to realize "meaning" on the basis of feeling "interesting". This requires the responsibility and innovative wisdom of TV people.

  There are several programs on the screen recently — — CCTV’s Chinese Poetry Conference, Beijing Satellite TV’s Inheritor, and Shanxi Satellite TV’s Wang Zhongwang the Linger are worthy of attention. These programs with the characteristics of typical reality shows may not be as good as some of the cases mentioned above in ratings, and there is still room for improvement in content production and process design, but they have two precious things in common: first, the spiritual core of the programs lies in spreading the essence of national culture, whether poetry, drama or intangible cultural heritage, they are carried forward through the "show" of "real people" competitions; Secondly, although there are stars in several programs, they focus on the cultural accomplishment and artistic quality of stars in many fields. As far as the stars themselves are concerned, they are in a subordinate and auxiliary position, completely serving the meaningful production of the programs.

  Of course, the "nutrients" and "energy" of reality show are not limited to the traditional cultural dimension, and all the value orientations that inspire and guide people to be upward, kind and beautiful can be taken as the theme connotation of the program. The key is to explore the feasible path of seamless connection between spirit ual cultivation and audio-visual pleasure, that is, the ingenious creativity of entertaining, reasoning and touching the scene. For example, travel reality shows combine the display of exotic customs with the tempering of interpersonal communication; Experience reality show brings life enlightenment through dramatic identity transposition; Competitive reality shows show the courage to challenge and team spirit when showing superb skills; Song and dance reality shows bring audience audio-visual aesthetic enjoyment in tense events. All these show the ingenuity of the main creation and shi ne with the humanistic light of the program. In today’s internet communication environment, the content is varied and the quality is uneven. Some network variety shows do not hesitate to break through the moral bottom line or even the legal b oundary in order to earn eyeballs. At this time, the TV reality show can not only be influenced by it, but also lower the lower quality limit, and guide the viewing taste with sincere and nutritious creativity and production, and optimize the communication ecology.

Talk about preparing for war

I’m glad to be back at home. No matter what the team’s achievements are now, it’s very exciting to finish the last game of this year with the support of the home fans, and the team will go all out to dedicate a wonderful game to the fans.

Tomorrow is the 14th game you coached this season. The results of the first 13 games were 1 draw and 12 losses. Will it be a pity that you didn’t win the next game?

As a coach or any player, every game is prepared with the goal of winning. There may be some other objective reasons for not winning, and the result itself is regrettable, but we all go all out to prepare and hope to achieve the desired goal as much as possible.

During the preparation for this game, did you tell the players how to say goodbye to the fans after the last game of this year, and was there any special ceremony?

For the interaction between players and fans after the game, I think it should be more impromptu or temporary. We can’t do rehearsals outside of football tactics, and our attention is still focused on the game itself.

Hu Jiajin spoke.

Although the team has been relegated, tomorrow is the last Super League game of the season, and there will still be many fans supporting us. We will definitely try our best to win this game and give the fans an explanation.
