A Brief History of China Band: From Nothing to Waiting for Genius

This summer, a variety show "Summer of the Band" ignited the enthusiasm of countless people about music. It has been 35 years since the first band "seven plywood" was formed in 1984. Among them, there was not only the exciting rock boom in Hung Hom in 1994, but also the ups and downs of a new generation of musicians since then. The Beijing News interviewed music critic Zhang Xiaozhou, DJ Zhang Wei and musician Zhang Yadong. Looking back on these 35 years, the originality of musicians is not limited by the times, and every generation will have a genius. Many people say that the times made Cui Jian, but in turn it was Cui Jian who made the times, and outstanding musicians should make the times. Band culture, especially rock music culture, is a portrayal of the spirit of the times and social changes.

1984-1994

The band "Musical Aristocratic Children" emerged, emphasizing rock and technology.


The band is the embodiment of the spirit of the times. The 1980s was a special era for China society and China music.

In 1980s, China society entered the transformation from agricultural civilization to modern civilization. Before that, discos were all yellow songs and dances. After the reform and opening-up, some foreign musicians came to China to perform. In 1982, Masaji Sata from japanese pop came to Beijing to give a concert and became the first foreign musician to perform in China. In 1985, the British wham band came to Beijing. Tayu Lo appeared in Taiwanese music during this period. In 1982, Tayu Lo released his first album "What is it?", which led Taiwan Province pop music to the trend of criticism and reflection.

Music with free and unrestrained melody rhythm and bohemian stage performance quickly became popular among a group of young people in Beijing. They had the opportunity to hear these music, which was regarded as "decadent culture of western bourgeoisie" at that time, before most people in the country, including Cui Jian and others. In 1984, the "seven plywood" band, including Cui Jian, Liu Yuan and Yang Le, was founded. The band members were all Beijing Song and Dance Troupe actors, mainly covering foreign pop music. At that time, it was very fashionable for young people to play acoustic guitars and sing English songs. The band released the album "seven plywood" with the same name, which is regarded as the first music album published by Chinese mainland under the name of the band.

The picture of Cui Jian comes from the Internet.

In 1986, Cui Jian and his band sang "Nothing" for the first time at the first concert of 100 singers in the "World Peace Year" in Beijing Workers Gymnasium, which was regarded as the first crow and beginning of Chinese rock music. Zhang Xiaozhou thinks that Cui Jian brought rock music when China’s music was "nothing" at that time, which was caught off guard and unreasonable.

Young people in China began to show unprecedented enthusiasm for guitar and bass, the Beatles and Queen. From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, the first rock bands emerged collectively. Most of these young people have a musical background, or have family members engaged in music-related work, and they have been exposed since childhood. As a child of a song and dance troupe, he has high musical quality and is easy to get in touch with more cultural information. Many of their parents are folk musicians, Cui Jian’s father Cui Xiongji is a trumpet player, Dou Wei’s father Dou Shaoru is a wind player, and Liu Yuan’s father Liu Fengtong is a famous suona player.

During this period, the band preferred heroism and grand propositions, such as Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty, and the theme was less related to daily life. Musically, the pursuit of openness and unity, pay attention to arrangement. For many people who don’t have the chance to listen to European and American rock music, this generation of bands bears the role of Chinese’s rock enlightenment.

In the late 1980s, China was still in a relatively closed social environment. Only in Wangfujing can there be a big bookstore where you can buy foreign records. Young musicians can only communicate with foreign students and diplomats. For example, Cui Jian guitarist Eddie is a Malagasy. Bands also exist mainly underground. In a few big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, etc., there were band performances, which were concentrated in foreign clubs and restaurants. For example, Maxim’s restaurant in Beijing was the gathering place of bands and fashion performances at that time. There are often parties in Beijing’s diplomatic apartments, and only foreigners can go in. Cui Jian occasionally "tries his best" to get in.

During this period, China was on the eve of a commodity society, and it was lucky to have a Sony Walkman. At that time, there were no music festivals with tens of thousands of people, but there were book fairs with tens of thousands of people. Young people were hungry for advanced culture, but the word "rock music" could not even be promoted. That magic rock called "rock" "new music".

In 1991, Rolling Stone decided to enter the mainland music market. Producer Zhang Peiren came to Beijing from Taiwan Province to establish Magic Rock Culture, and in early 1991, he decided to sign the Tang Dynasty band under the brand of "Fire in China". In 1991, the first album "Fire in China" was released, which included 9 songs including Zhang Chu, Face, Tang Dynasty and Black Panther band. In 1994, Moyan Culture held the "Rock and Roll Concert of China Music Forces" in Hung Hom, Hong Kong, from which the three outstanding artists of Moyan resounded across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and thus played the "Spring of New Music".

1995 -2000

Multi-style band of provincial youth group


In 1995, the commercialization of Magic Rock failed. Coupled with rampant domestic piracy, rock music has been suppressed. The so-called "rock boom" in 1994 was just a dream.

At the same time, China society began to enter a comprehensive commercial transformation, and the market economy widened the gap between the rich and the poor. With the deepening of reform and opening-up, the reform of state-owned enterprises and the laid-off workers have broken the closed social structure of China, and private enterprises have emerged and the city has expanded. People are no longer bound by their birthplace and flock to big cities. This great social change has brought "young people from other provinces". Young people from other provinces have changed the composition structure of the China Band. The previous generation of bands mainly consisted of children of musical families. This generation of musicians "heroes don’t ask where they came from", and most of them have no musical background.

The characteristics of China bands in this period can only be described as "unable to be summarized". The band has diversified styles and distinctive features, so it is difficult to define it by a certain type of music. For example, Zi Yue and Second-hand Rose band combined China folk art, sketches and cross talk elements into rock music, while NO band had artist temperament, while Tongue and Inducing Society band showed social criticism.

By the end of 1990s, bands all over the country had blossomed everywhere, and various branches of rock music, such as heavy metal, punk and experimental noise, all produced their own representative bands. Mirror and New Pants were the earliest punk bands active in Beijing at the end of 1990s. At that time, Zhang Wei made a program "Anyone can play guitar" to teach guitar, which influenced a group of teenagers to learn guitar bands. Zhang’s original intention of doing this program is that there should be more bands in China, and all teenagers should have guitars to sing together.

The picture of New Pants comes from the Internet.

Zhang Xiaozhou believed that the bands in this period were the most unique and creative. However, due to the lack of commercial mechanism, many of them are not well known to the public, and the record production level of many bands cannot reflect their true strength.

During this period, younger bands appeared, such as Dada, Huaer and Mayday, which are called "Cutie" in Europe and America. Today, Dada is still the hottest band at that time in the eyes of bands in the same period as "Young Boys". Dada released their debut album "Angel" in January 2001, which included all domestic newcomers, media recommendation awards, best rock band and other 15 music awards within half a year. Another band, Huaer, is called the first underage rock band in China. In 1999, Huaer released its first album Next to Happiness, and in 2002, it appeared in TIME magazine. In the same year, an influential young band, Mayday, was born across the Taiwan Strait. Similar to the story of Flower Band, Mayday members also made their debut as students. Thanks to the valuable experience of live singing, Mayday was signed by Rolling Stone and became one of the rock bands in full swing at that time.

2000-present

"Slash youth" imitates foreign traces, no longer criticizes and stays away from profundity.

In the new century, with the formation of globalization, China society has entered the Internet era in which mobile phones and personal computers dominate daily life. During this period, the only-child generation grew up and became the main force of social consumption.

In China, music consumption was formed at this stage, and a music festival as a form of cultural consumption began to exist. In 2009, the first Strawberry Music Festival was founded, Midi Music Festival began to be market-oriented, and the number of performance venues such as Live House increased greatly. The development of self-media music platforms such as Douban and Shrimp has brought development space to a group of independent musicians such as Li Zhi. At the same time, musical instruments have become more and more popular, musical instruments have sprung up in a large area, and music education has developed rapidly. More young people who love music can go online to learn guitar, bass and drums. During this period, music copyright was paid attention to and protected, and bands began to appear on the stage of TV variety shows such as The Voice of China, Good Chinese Songs and China Band.

Bands all over the world are the same, and few people can support themselves with music. The biggest difference between musicians in the new century and their predecessors is that they no longer regard "band" as the only pillar of life, but they are a generation of "slash youth". Most of the bands run around the office building from nine to five during the day, and Xiong Hua, the bass player of penicillin, is currently working in a company. Lu Xiansen’s band members include structural engineers and architectural designers; Xue Ran, the lead singer of Luminous Curve Band, opened a Sichuan restaurant in his hometown in Shandong to support himself. These young people get together to play music on weekends, do what they like, and then return to work on Monday.

During this period, the number of bands exploded, which was 100 times and 1000 times higher than that of the previous two eras. "POST-ROCK" became popular. Post-Rock is a type of music derived from rock and roll. Its biggest feature is that there is almost no human voice, no lead singer, and it is played entirely by musical instruments. It pays attention to inner feelings, tortuous arrangement and delicate arrangement of instrumental music. It is not as angry as rock and roll, but has a sense of powerlessness, which is more in line with the delicate inner feelings of this generation of young people. The representative band is Wang Wen Band.

The "mourning" and "boredom" of a new generation of young people are also written into songs, for example, there is no party band in Caodong, Taiwan Province. Many bands in this period sang English songs, and their works were not as grand and critical as those in the previous two eras, but they paid more attention to their inner feelings. Also because this generation has got too much information, as an information-overloaded generation, the traces of imitating foreign bands are heavier. However, in terms of musical aesthetics and technical accomplishment, they are generally higher than the previous two generations. Enjoying the bonus of university enrollment expansion, many musicians at this stage have gone to university or even higher education.

Today’s China band is facing a very different reality from the 1990s. The instruments and equipment used by the band are more and more advanced, and all kinds of playing techniques are also more and more advanced. In the new era, the band has more convenient access to more diversified world music elements and knows more. However, the overall originality and creativity of the band have declined. In Zhang’s view, this dilemma was brought about by the times. When the Tang Dynasty, Panther and Cui Jian were in their teens and twenties, they rebelled in adolescence. At that time, the environment was oppressive, and young people were looking for space and opportunities to express themselves. Now, the acceptance of the whole society is very high, and young people feel that they have got everything they want. They don’t need anything more profound, just being myself is enough. However, being yourself brings only a sensory impact, and the criticism of society has lost its direction.

future

The ears are waiting for exciting sounds.


Since the beginning of the new century, the living space of independent bands and rock music in China has been greatly improved. Live House performance bars and large-scale commercial music festivals have started to emerge in major cities across the country, which has also brought more opportunities for the bands to display. At this time, the number and types of bands are more than before.

Has the band’s summer arrived? For Zhang to be, "the summer of the band" is an illusion, and it is still in winter, only through this period of time. "All people who make music are one crop after another. This crop has passed, and the next crop may be able to get up. Everyone is a paving stone. If the predecessors have not paved the road, there will be no way for future generations. " If you want to welcome the summer of a real band, you can only wait silently. "My ears have been waiting, waiting to hear the sound that excites me."

In Zhang Yadong’s view, the future development of China band still needs a star, and how the outside world promotes it is not as effective as a real star in this field. "I expect China band to have Cui Jian, Tang Dynasty and Panthers in the new era, and only this influence will bring the most direct effect." Zhang Yadong said that the band is not without a market, but no one has achieved that point. "As long as it is done, the band can have it in heaven, not to mention summer."

We can’t expect a variety show to promote the development of music. Zhang Xiaozhou thinks that what really promotes the development of the band is consumption, listening to their music, not just downloading it for free, buying tickets to watch performances and buying records, and "consumption produces beauty". Zhang Xiaozhou believes that "summer of the band" is just a romantic rhetoric, a relatively successful variety show, selling feelings and even "selling miserably" (complaining about the hardships of forming a band) is just the need of entertainment consumption. In fact, the number of bands in China is one thousand times that of the last two eras. "Band culture is not a cultural product of integration, nor is it just a star-making industry. It is the result of some kind of democratic education and multicultural development. From this point of view,’ summer with bands’ is only one aspect of the overall mental outlook of young people in this era, a’ healthy and uplifting’ side that can be accepted by the mainstream public. However, we can’t say that the whole people only know Cui Jian, the Magic Rock Three Masters and the Panthers of the Tang Dynasty, and that era was a prosperous time of rock and roll, which was still a relatively closed era after all. However, prosperity is not necessarily related to individual creation, and genius will always break through the overall characteristics of the times and even create the times. Of course, genius is unfettered, ignoring the trend, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. "

Hot pot before 1900, so particular.

Nowadays, there is nothing that hot pot can’t fix. If one meal can’t be done, then have another one. Visible hot pot charm. In fact, in ancient times, hot pot was already a well-known "palace dish". The members of the royal family, Zhong Qianlong and Cixi, were enthusiastic fans of hot pot, and the royal banquet guests also liked to eat hot pot. When Emperor Jiaqing ascended the throne, he held a "thousand banquets". According to statistics, 1550 hot pots were used at that time, which was called the biggest hot pot banquet in history.

People in the Han Dynasty were so particular about eating hot pot.

In the Song Dynasty, hot pot has become a popular food. At that time, there was a custom of "warm winter" among the people, and a "heater meeting" was held on the first day of October every year. Meng Yuan’s "Dream of Tokyo" contains: "In October, there will be charcoal in the stove, and people will buy wine for the stove party." On this day, every family will celebrate around their own stove, or have a barbecue or a hot pot.

However, in the Western Han Dynasty, people began to use "dyeing cups" and "dyeing stoves", that is, small hot pots used by single people in ancient times. Obviously, "dyeing cup" and "dyeing furnace" are the embryonic forms of contemporary hot pot utensils.

Bronze Wending (Western Han Dynasty) Unearthed from Liu He’s Tomb

It is recorded in Lv’s Spring and Autumn Annals that "dyed soy sauce is also available" and "dyed cup" is mainly filled with sauces and salts. The stove under the copper dyeing machine is used to heat the sauce.

Ancient dyeing furnace

Because hot pot was only eaten by aristocrats at that time, "dyeing furnace" was very popular among aristocrats. Some of them were a combination of furnace and cup, and it was important to add a tray under the dyeing furnace to receive the ashes of charcoal fire.

For example, a set of dyeing stoves excavated in the tomb of Liu He, a sea faint, consists of three parts: ear cups, charcoal stoves and chassis, which are exquisitely made and very particular.

In the Han Dynasty, there were all kinds of hot pot utensils. From the material point of view, there were not only bronze hot pot, iron hot pot and pottery hot pot, but also Yuanyang pot, which was used to cook different dishes.

It is said that Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu in the Western Han Dynasty, loved hot pot very much, and what he ate was a "griddle ding" similar to a mandarin duck pot. However, the closest thing to the current Yuanyang pot is the "five-cooked kettle" used by the people in the Three Kingdoms period, which has five compartments, which are similar to the current Yuanyang pot, and five flavors can be simultaneously transferred in the five compartments to facilitate eating.

Winter in Qing dynasty

It must smell of hot pot.

Hot pot with a history of 1900 years became popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, there were not only hot pot dishes such as "raw mutton" and "cooked beef", but also the craft of making utensils was more elaborate. Eating hot pot was very popular in Qing dynasty, which was an indispensable delicacy in winter court, and the tableware of hot pot was also dazzling.

In Yuan Mei’s explosive cookbook Suiyuan Food List, it is also mentioned that "in winter, guests are accustomed to hot pot", and the nobles of the palace are also very fond of hot pot. The degree of love of hot pot by Emperor Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi mentioned at the beginning of the article promoted the diversification of hot pot in Qing Dynasty.

Yinshouzi hot pot is said to be a favorite of Empress Dowager Cixi.

It is reported that Ganlong has visited Jiangnan many times, and every time he goes, he has hot pot. According to the Collection of Archives and Historical Materials of Qing Dynasty, on the 10th day of the first month of the forty-eighth year of Qianlong, Qianlong held a 530-table palace hot pot banquet, with "two hot pots per table".

Jin Yi’s "Maid-in-waiting Talk to Record" records: "Every winter, we have to eat hot pot for three months in the palace. From October 15th of the lunar calendar, hot pot will be added to every meal. The pot will not be removed until the sixteenth day of the first month of the following year. "

Cixi is even more creative in eating hot pot. She created a chrysanthemum hot pot-the bottom of the pot is chicken juice or broth. When boiling, she put in a few slices of raw chicken and fish fillets, and covered the pot to stew for a while. Open the lid again and put in the carefully treated Jin Ju petals. This chrysanthemum hot pot later became a famous court dish.

Nowadays, hot pots have spread all over the streets, whether it’s a spicy hot pot full of spicy flavor or a sour soup hot pot full of fragrance, it’s only a "happy" when you go down. Winter has arrived, eating hot pot is just the time, about three or five friends or a family get together and sit around. Talk about the history of hot pot while eating it. After all, people are 1900 years old.

Hangzhou dog immunization spot was crowded and even the stock immunization certificate was used up.

  "Hello, is this the place to apply for vaccination for dogs?"

  At 9 o’clock yesterday morning, Jamlom, who just moved to Hangzhou from Wenzhou for half a month, came to Hangzhou Yunlai Pet Hospital. Because of the job transfer, she brought her dog in Wenzhou to Hangzhou, so she had to apply for a new license. Unexpectedly, the team with the dog’s immunization certificate at the door has actually been lined up on the road.

  "In the past week, hospitals have all come to vaccinate dogs, and more than 100 dogs have to be vaccinated and immunized every day." Villi, vice chairman of Hangzhou Small Animal Diagnosis and Treatment Industry Association and president of Yunlai Animal Hospital, told Qianbao that all the hospital staff were vaccinated this week, and there was no time for consultation.

  The number of dogs vaccinated has soared.

  There are at least 800 vaccinations a day.

  "Canine rabies is a disease that is compulsory in Hangzhou, that is to say, rabies vaccine for dogs is completely free. Dogs that have been vaccinated will have an immunization certificate supervised by Hangzhou Agriculture Bureau. Only dogs with valid immunization certificates can go to the urban management department to apply for a dog license. "

  The dog epidemic prevention staff of Hangzhou Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau said that at present, there are 21 dog immunization spots in the main urban area of Hangzhou, including 7 government immunization spots and 14 designated animal clinics. In the past, the number of vaccination certificates in Hangzhou was about 40 per day, but now it has surged to at least 800.

  In the past week, Yunlai Pet Hospital has to handle more than 200 dogs’ injections during the peak period, and the hospital has only 9 staff members. "The hospital will also do free sterilization for stray cats, which is also designated by the government. Now that people are bringing cats, we can only let them come back in a few days because there is really no time for surgery. " Villi said.

  Zheng Wei, dean of Hangzhou Hongtai Pet Hospital, also said, "This week, the rabies vaccine in our hospital has also exploded. At most, 500 dogs are vaccinated every day, and there are more than 200 dogs every day in these two days."

  There are all dogs, large and small, who apply for the certificate.

  Most of them are first-time applicants.

  Qianbao reporter interviewed 11 dog owners randomly in Yunlai Pet Hospital, and 10 of them applied for canine immunization certificates for the first time.

  Xiao Yu, a Beijing Ba dog, is 4 years old and is raised by a couple of 40 years old. The male owner said that Xiao Yu didn’t have a dog license before, but he spent his own money to vaccinate in the pet shop every year. Only recently did he know that he could vaccinate at a fixed point for free.

  Aunt Li, who came from Daguan, held a "string" in her arms (commonly known as a hybrid dog of unknown breed). This dog aunt has been raised for more than 6 years. Yesterday, a family of three accompanied the puppy to get an injection and apply for a certificate. "If you don’t apply for a certificate now, I’m afraid I can’t raise it." Aunt Li said that there is nothing else, but it is not easy to arrange the dog walking time at 7 am and 7 pm. Dogs also need to bask in the sun, and our elderly people have bad legs and feet, which is really inconvenient.

  At 10 o’clock in the morning, two fashionable young men rushed to the hospital and asked if they could vaccinate an Alaskan dog and apply for an immunization certificate.

  Alaskan dogs are huge and stand up, half a head taller than adults. The hospital specially arranged an empty room for it, and the veterinarian completed the vaccination for it accompanied by the owner.

  Subsequently, the reporter from qianjiang evening news came to the canine immunization point of Gongshu District Animal Health Supervision Institute. Staff member Qin Xuefeng told reporters that there are now 120-130 dogs in the station every day, and basically 8 of the 10 vaccinated dogs are newly certified.

  Immunization card stock emergency has been printed.

  You can only give the number first for the time being.

  Dogs that have been vaccinated can apply for immunization certificates, but now many immunization points have run out of immunization certificates.

  Qin Xuefeng told Qianbao reporter: "At present, only Gongshu District and Xihu District have immunization certificates, and other immunization points have no certificates to issue." "The stock of immunization cards has been fully distributed, and now 12,000 immunization cards are being rushed. At present, we have negotiated with the urban management to issue the immunization card number to the dogs who come to fight rabies vaccine. " The dog epidemic prevention staff of Hangzhou Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau said.

  Two weeks ago, Villi went to Hangzhou Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau to get 1,000 immunization certificates. On Tuesday, Villi went to get another 100 certificates and 400 rabies vaccines, which were used up the next day. Villi said, "The 100 certificates we received are the last stock in Hangzhou. After use, the bureau gave 500 immunization card numbers. "

  The same situation also appeared in Yuhang District, Hangzhou. Qianbao reporter learned from Yuhang District Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau that there are also shortages of immunization certificates in many towns and streets in Yuhang.

  depth

  Be careful when buying vaccines online to inject.

  In Yunlai Pet Hospital, Qianbao reporter met a lady with a small yellow book full of immunization records in her hand, asking if the dog that had just been vaccinated could be re-injected.

  The reporter of Qianbao took a closer look and found that there was no government signature and seal on the "vaccine book", which was made by a pet shop. The veterinarian on the side said that all the immunization records in the book were used to immunize dogs against infectious diseases, and there was no record of rabies vaccine injection.

  It turned out that this lady listened to the propaganda of the business and injected a bunch of so-called imported infectious disease vaccines into her dog, but she didn’t know that rabies vaccine was a compulsory vaccine in Hangzhou.

  "Generally speaking, the interval between dog vaccine injections is 15 days. In the past few days, we have encountered several pet owners who have just been vaccinated privately and have informal documents to apply for dog immunization certificates. According to state regulations, we will not handle such cases. " Villi said.

  "These unlicensed dogs usually go to pet stores and buy vaccines online for injection. Our animal husbandry and veterinary department cannot issue immunization certificates; The sales of rabies vaccines in these places are also illegal. If something goes wrong, consumers’ own rights and interests will not be guaranteed. " The dog epidemic prevention staff of Hangzhou Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau reminded.

  76 people were bitten by stray dogs in downtown Wenzhou

  According to the police, this is a number of dog bites.

  As of press time, Wenzhou police have arrested seven suspicious stray dogs.

  Since November 16th, there have been many incidents of stray dogs wounding in Wenzhou city. According to the preliminary statistics of Wenzhou CDC, as of 8: 00 pm on November 17th, there were 76 people who were bitten by dogs in Wenzhou city, of which the youngest was only 2 years old and the oldest was 71 years old.

  Since the 16th, many citizens in Wenzhou City have been bitten. In these two days, the dog injury clinic in the emergency department of Wenzhou People’s Hospital ushered in the peak period of medical treatment. Lv Wang, the attending physician of the dog injury clinic in this hospital, said that from 12 noon on the 16th to 7 o’clock that night, nearly 30 patients came to the hospital one after another to get rabies vaccine, which was surprisingly high for the doctors in the dog clinic. From the day of 16th to the afternoon of 17th, Wenzhou People’s Hospital received 47 patients bitten by dogs.

  According to the doctor, the peak period of stray dogs’ injuries is generally concentrated in summer, and the hot weather leads to dogs’ bad temper. However, it is a bit unusual for so many stray dogs to concentrate on injuries in mid-November, which requires detailed investigation by relevant departments.

  According to the incomplete statistics of Wenzhou CDC, from 16th to last night, a total of 76 people in Wenzhou were bitten by stray dogs, mainly in Wenzhou People’s Hospital, Liuhongqiao Chinese Medicine Hospital and Nanbaixiang Community Service Center.

  The reporter from qianjiang evening news learned from the police in Ouhai and Lucheng that there have been many warnings of stray dogs injuring people in two days. According to the police, this concentrated outbreak of stray dogs was caused by multiple dog bites. As of press time, Wenzhou police have jointly arrested seven suspicious stray dogs with a professional search team, and the search on the road is still going on. The police also reminded citizens who adopt dogs that they should register with the relevant administrative departments and get vaccinated in time to reduce the incidents of stray dogs hurting people from the source.

Fox and Hathaway are expected to join forces with Ugly Girls in Gotham City Sirens.

Megan fox is expected to play "Poison Ivy"


Anne Hathaway used to beThe Dark Knight Rises.Play catwoman


1905 movie network news Warner Pictures is expanding the DC universe faster and faster, and several villains’ single films have been set up one after another, the most striking of which is Gotham City Sirens, which is jointly organized by david ayer and "Ugly Girl" Margot Elise Robbie. According to foreign media reports, megan fox and Anne Hathaway are expected to join the film, playing "Poison Ivy" and "Catwoman" respectively.

 

Gotham City Sirens is mainly based on the comic book of the same name published by DC in 2011, which tells the story of "clown girls" harley quinn and Poison Ivy, Catwoman — — Three female opponents who have been entangled with Batman for many years will team up to form the story of the strongest female villain group in the history of DC comics. Geneva Valet-Robinson, a big-budget female screenwriter, will write a script for the film.

 

Megan fox himself is a comic book fan. In 2014, he expressed his desire to play Poison Ivy or Sonia with red hair. Recently, careful fans found that megan fox ordered the 14th, 17th and 38th sentences of the cartoon Harry Quinn online and sent them to her address in Warner Studio. The first two sentences of these three cartoons tell the story of clown girl and Poison Ivy, while the third one tells the story of Poison Ivy and Gotham police.

 

Of course, buying cartoons may only be Fox’s private behavior, but buying cartoons with obvious directionality at this point in time can basically confirm that Megan Fox is the corner of Poison Ivy in Gotham City Sirens. David ayer, the director, also revealed in an interview that the three roles of clown, Poison Ivy and Catwoman will all appear in the film. Megan fox can be said to be a good choice for Poison Ivy, and he has had a lot of experience in large-scale productions.

 

As for who will play the role of Catwoman, there is also news. Anne Hathaway once played Catwoman in the film, which left a deep impression on the audience. After the film was released, Hathaway once said that she was open to re-playing Catwoman. In September this year, Hathaway once again revealed her love for Catwoman and Marvel Universe and her desire to return.

 

Let’s wait and see who will spend these two roles.


Farewell to Century Jinyuan Wangfujing and Speed up the Layout of Duty-free Business

  Farewell to "Top Flow" Shopping Mall

  After more than 20 years of operation, () I finally chose to bid farewell to this "top flow" shopping mall in Beijing.

  On February 14th, Wangfujing announced that the Lease Contract between Beijing Xinyansha Holdings (Group) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Beijing Century Jinyuan Shopping Center Management Co., Ltd. for the operating site of Beijing Jinyuan Xinyansha MALL will expire on March 31st, 2025.

  After the expiration of the contract, that is, from April 1st, Beijing Jinyuan New Yansha MALL, Beijing Yansha Friendship Mall Jinyuan Store and Beijing Guiyou Building Jinyuan Store will stop operating.

  At the same time, Beijing Century Jinyuan Shopping Center also announced that it will take over the new Yansha rental area from April 1. The shopping center will continue to operate normally at that time. At present, Century Jinyuan Shopping Center has completed the handover and signing with the cooperative brands in the venue.

  Wangfujing has cooperated with Century Golden Resources for so long and chose to leave at this time. What kind of business considerations are hidden behind this?

  Farewell to Century Jinyuan

  Century Jinyuan Shopping Center, located at No.1 Yuanda Road, Haidian District, has been in operation for 20 years since its opening in 2004.

  With a construction area of 680,000 ㎡, the project became the largest single commercial project in Asia in that year, filling the gap that there was no comprehensive shopping center in Jingxi at that time.

  Century Jinyuan Shopping Center includes several main stores, including Jinyuan New Yansha Mall, Yansha Friendship Mall and Guiyou Building, as well as the home of home stores and the large-scale Lotus Supermarket.

  Among them, the leased area of Jinyuan New Yansha MALL is 182,000 ㎡, including 42,000 ㎡ for Jinyuan Store of Yansha Friendship Mall and 13,000 ㎡ for Jinyuan Store of Guiyou Building. The whole project is operated and managed by Beijing Xinyansha Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wangfujing.

  Relevant data show that Jinyuan New Yansha Mall achieved sales of 1.36 billion yuan in 2007, an increase of 223% compared with 2005, and the occupancy rate of shops reached 95%, making it profitable for the first time. And set a record of sales of 2.2 billion yuan, rent collection rate and rental rate of "double hundred" in 2023.

  Not only that, Beijing Xinyansha Holdings is also one of the profitable subsidiaries of Wangfujing. The annual report shows that in 2023 and the first half of 2024, the company achieved net profit of 368 million yuan and 196 million yuan respectively.

  Even so, Wangfujing abandoned Jinyuan New Yansha MALL and chose not to participate in the subsequent operation, striving to speed up the layout of new commercial tracks.

  "The company is in the critical period of format iteration and the incubation period of new format development. The company will accelerate the iteration of format and store structure, optimize the development model and factor allocation, continuously improve the operation quality, deeply tap the market potential, and continuously renew its business content." Wangfujing said.

  Of course, after the withdrawal of Wangfujing, the leased area of New Yansha will be fully taken over by Century Jinyuan.

  It is reported that Century Jinyuan Shopping Center will start to carry out zoning transformation, and Section A of the west area of the project is the first phase transformation area, during which other areas will continue to operate. The project plans to build five cultural theme spaces: the city light, the Oriental Beauty School District, the city market, the impromptu time zone and the main road.

  In this regard, industry analysts believe that the current Century Jinyuan Shopping Center has been slightly old, facing the pressure of customer loss. Through large-scale upgrading, we can introduce more new brands and formats in line with the current consumption trend to attract young people, thus enhancing our competitiveness in regional commerce.

  Speed up the layout of duty-free business

  While giving up Jinyuan New Yansha MALL, Wangfujing is also accelerating the layout of tax-free business.

  On February 14th, the joint venture company jointly established by Wangfujing and () completed the establishment registration procedures. The company is used to operate the duty-free shops in Wuhan located in the shopping center of Wuhan International Plaza.

  In fact, after obtaining the qualification of duty-free goods in June 2020, Wangfujing began to actively promote the landing of duty-free formats. At present, a number of duty-free projects have been laid out nationwide, including duty-free shops in outlying islands, port duty-free shops and city duty-free shops.

  Among them, Wangfujing International Duty Free Port, the company’s first tax-free project for outlying islands, opened in January 2023; On January 24th, 2025, Wangfujing Duty Free Shop in Harbin Airport, the first port duty-free project operated by Wangfujing, was opened to the public.

  The accelerated expansion of duty-free business is rapidly becoming a new growth point of Wangfujing’s performance. The financial report shows that in the first half of 2024, Wangfujing achieved a total revenue of 6.035 billion yuan. Among them, the tax-free business income was 172 million yuan, and the income increased by 121.17% compared with the same period.

  Compared with the negative growth or slight growth of department stores, shopping centers, outlets and specialty store, Wangfujing’s duty-free business has full potential.

  However, Wangfujing also admitted that the tax-free format of enterprises is still in its infancy, and due to factors such as business area, the income ratio is only 2.64%.

  In the future, it is not known how much development space the duty-free business can bring to Wangfujing.

  Official answers to 14 questions about vaccination in Covid-19, Beijing (reservation+price)

  ?How to monitor the adverse reactions of vaccines in China?

  Wang Huaqing, chief expert of immunization program of China CDC, said that the national laws and regulations, such as the Vaccine Management Law, the National Monitoring Scheme for Suspected Adverse Reactions of Vaccination and the Measures for Identification of Adverse Reactions of Vaccination, all have clear provisions on monitoring and handling of suspected adverse reactions of Vaccination.

  Specific measures include defining the responsible reporting unit, the responsible reporter, the content and time limit of the report, and stipulating the conditions for suspected vaccine adverse reactions that need to be investigated. Moreover, the diagnosis of abnormal reactions needs to be completed by the investigation and diagnosis expert group, and the identification needs to be completed by the provincial and municipal medical associations. The monitoring of suspected vaccine adverse reactions is realized through the monitoring information system established by China CDC, and information sharing is realized between CDC and ADR monitoring institutions. Disease control institutions at all levels and adverse drug reaction monitoring institutions will also regularly analyze and evaluate the monitored information. If there is a major event, it will be analyzed and evaluated in time.

  ?Will the virus mutation affect the vaccine effect?

  Virus is one of the simplest organisms, and its proliferation depends on living cells. In the process of proliferation, the virus will mutate, and most of the mutations will not affect the pathogenicity of the virus, the sensitivity of detection reagents and the effectiveness of the vaccine. According to the latest information released by the World Health Organization, from the global monitoring of Covid-19 mutation, there is no evidence that virus mutation will invalidate the existing Covid-19 vaccine. The World Health Organization’s global Covid-19 laboratory network includes a special SARS-CoV-2 virus mutation and evolution working group, which is rapidly detecting new virus mutation and evaluating its possible impact, which will also provide early warning and scientific analysis basis for subsequent vaccine development and application.

Tips: WeChat search WeChat official account [Beijing local treasure], after paying attention, reply to [COVID-19 vaccine] in the dialog box, and get the vaccine reservation entrance (one/two/three/four stitches), vaccination point inquiry (address and telephone number), vaccination record inquiry and proof that it is not suitable for vaccination in Beijing COVID-19.

In a sense, it can also be called a veritable high-quality masterpiece this year.


More than 230,000 people scored a high score of 8.5, which also made it ranked second in the word-of-mouth list.


Dubbed by the audience as the script "Guarding the Liberation of the West", the story revolves around four fledgling trainee police officers. With its grounded plot and humorous expression, it has won the favor of a large number of audiences. During the first broadcast, it won many hot searches and the ratings exceeded 100 million. It is also a well-received and blockbuster explosion masterpiece.


"Sanyue has a new job" and "Foreign Material Records" both ranked third in the annual word of mouth with a score of 8.4. Compared with the above two TV dramas, both of them are representatives of "small but beautiful".


Similar to the movie, "Sanyue has a new job" also pays attention to the funeral industry, and rarely discusses the growth of "lying flat" girls from the perspective of body makeup artists. The shaping of post-95 life attitude and value orientation is clearly in place, which resonates with many young audiences.


"The History of Foreign Objects" is a work with both suspense and fantasy elements in this year’s 8+National Drama. In recent years, suspense drama has been in full swing, and The Tale of Foreign Objects skillfully supplemented by fantasy has created its own splendor.


"Long River in the World" scored 8.3, and passed the top three in word of mouth. In the track with the theme of costume, "Long River in the World" is more inclined to the category of historical drama, with historical facts to be tested and multi-line narratives echoing each other, which makes it complete the breakthrough of types.


Similarly, The Wind Rises in Longxi, which is based on Zhuge Liang’s Northern Expedition, was once praised as "Seeing the Great History with Little People" with a score of 8.1.


Meng Hua Lu, who is also a costume drama, focuses on "ancient dolls". The casting of the partner is not only full of value, but also difficult to find fault with the fit of the characters. Their excellent performances also help Meng Hua Lu break into the high score list with a score of 8.0.


The time series "The Wind Blows Pinellia" and "In the World" all cut through the exploration in the tide of reform and opening up, recreating that magnificent course. The former got a high score of 8.2, while the latter got a score of 8.1, and became a phenomenal explosive work.


At the 31st China Golden Eagle Awards Ceremony, "On Earth" won four awards including "Excellent TV Series". Recently, it won the award for outstanding TV works in the commendation of advanced units and outstanding works in the 16th "Five One Project" of spiritual civilization construction.


In addition, the 8.2-point "Beyond" is the only sports drama on the list. The return of the original crew of "20 Don’t Confuse 2" and the starring romantic drama "My Calorie Boy" were also successfully shortlisted for 8 points+list.


The main melody drama performed brilliantly.

"Now" and "suspense" almost mean.


Looking at the 12 plays on the 8+list, it is not difficult to find that the main melody series accounts for a high proportion. Daughter of Dashan, Police Honor, Pinellia ternata blown by the wind, Transcendence and In the World all belong here.


Or the group image expression like "Police Honor" is full of workplace elements, or "Beyond" pays tribute to the short track speed skating competition and reflects the changes of the times … Thanks to the successful hosting of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and the convening of the Party’s 20th victory, this year’s main theme drama series is not only richer in theme types, but also more diversified in expression methods, further satisfying people’s aesthetic needs.


Take "Police Honor" as an example. Unlike many TV series that focus on the "police" group, the four "trainee policemen" do not exaggerate the heroic aura too much, but appear as "ordinary people", who will boldly move forward, hesitate and occasionally show their vulnerability. The whole drama runs through with a strong "fireworks", which makes the audience intuitively feel the ups and downs of the grassroots police.


Last year, there were popular Minning Town and Black Storm, and this year, there are high-quality representatives such as In the World and Police Honor. The main melody drama series is undoubtedly a branch of the drama market that cannot be ignored in recent years.


At present, although there is no division in the hit, from the feedback of many viewers, the texture of the play is also worthy of praise.


In terms of other types of themes, the ancient costume works are the most worthy of attention.


The public report pointed out that the number of costume dramas launched in 2022 dropped significantly compared with the same period of last year, but the overall quality improved significantly. As mentioned above, "Long River in the World", "Wind Rises in Longxi" and "Dream of China" are all above the 8+list, second only to the main melody works in quantity.


From the heat point of view, the ancient puppet drama that abandoned "industrial saccharin" can be slightly better than other costume dramas by virtue of the magic weapon of natural "high sweetness".


For example, the 7.9-point "Canglan Tactic" and the 7.7-point "Splendid Star and Bright Moon Rising to the Sea" failed to make the 8-point+list, but the overall performance was also remarkable, especially the former ranked first in the broadcast index of all dramas in the third quarter. "Di Xin Gravitation", "Wu Lu can escape" and "Looking forward to brightness" have become one of the most popular CPS in 2022.


In terms of "current spouse", the best score on the list is My Calorie Boy with 8.1 points. I have to say that this masterpiece of word of mouth has received little attention, with only 12,000 evaluators.


On the contrary, more than 160,000 people commented, and those who set off the movie-watching boom only got 7.4 points. Another example is "Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, bright stars", whose revenue has exceeded 100 million yuan, with a score of only 6.5, and "current couples" with popular traffic blessings, such as "28 Laws of Love", whose scores are only hovering on the qualified line.


This also means that the "modern couple" still needs to continue to refuel on the road of exploration in order to gain the dual recognition of the market and word of mouth.


There are many innovative works in suspense dramas this year, but on the whole, it is a sigh of relief.


At the beginning of the year, The Beginnings quickly became popular with the theme of "infinite flow" time cycle, followed by the close-knit plots from the perspective of the portrait artist, including "Coward" adapted from the novel "Raw Swallow". The scores of the three popular suspense dramas were all between 7.5 and 7.9, and they failed to reach by going up one flight of stairs. "Old Play Bone" partner’s "The Gate of Rebirth" failed to cross the 7-point mark.


"The Story of Foreign Objects", which focuses on suspense and fantasy, has a slightly higher score, but it fails to make a circle in the degree of communication. If you want to make the next one, you also need to spend some thought on suspense drama.


It is worth mentioning that "Sanyue has a new job" and "Twenty Don’t Confuse 2" pay attention to the young audience, and truly discuss the growth process of the younger generation, which greatly arouses the audience’s empathy and both stand out in word of mouth. The success of "Twenty Don’t Confuse 2" has even broken the "curse" of the IP sequel, which has greatly improved its reputation compared with the previous work.


It also involves the discussion of teenagers’ topics, and the scores of Dear Children and are 7.7 and 7.3 respectively.


In the final analysis, literary and artistic works must ultimately be geared to the public. No matter what type it belongs to, grasping the audience’s mind is always the basis for its double harvest of market reputation, and it is also an issue that creators need to think about.
