Power battery scrapping tide is coming, recycling must be traced back to the source.

  In order to avoid the "small workshop" of recycling with crude technology and backward technology from affecting the overall healthy development of the industry, the newly revised "Industrial Standard Conditions for Comprehensive Utilization of Waste Power Batteries of New Energy Vehicles" upgraded the environmental protection requirements. For example, the on-line monitoring devices for wastewater, waste gas and industrial solid waste generated in the process of comprehensive utilization have been changed from "encouraging installation" to "should have".

  The production and sales of new energy vehicles in China have ranked first in the world. According to the data released by China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, 1-mdash in 2019; In August, the sales volume of new energy vehicles in China was 793,000, maintaining a year-on-year growth rate of 32%. With the large-scale popularization and application of new energy vehicles, the comprehensive utilization of waste power batteries is particularly urgent.

  Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has recently revised and officially solicited opinions from the public on the industrial standard conditions for the comprehensive utilization of waste power batteries in new energy vehicles (hereinafter referred to as the standard conditions) and the Interim Measures for the Administration of the industrial standard announcement for the comprehensive utilization of waste power batteries in new energy vehicles (hereinafter referred to as the Measures) issued in 2016, which put forward requirements for the comprehensive utilization of power batteries to be more perfect, safer, more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

  Recycling is still in its infancy.

  According to the calculation of China Automotive Technology and Research Center, combined with the factors such as automobile scrapping years and battery life, in 2018 — In 2020, the total number of scrapped power batteries in China will reach 120,000 — 200,000 tons, reaching the scale of 350,000 tons in 2025. It can be said that the wave of large-scale scrapping of power batteries for new energy vehicles is coming.

  "The service life of power batteries is generally 5-mdash; 8 years, the effective life is 4-mdash; In 6 years, this means that the first batch of new energy vehicle power batteries put into the market are basically at the critical point of elimination. " Zhang Tianren, Chairman of Tianneng Group’s Board of Directors, told the Science and Technology Daily reporter that when the capacity of power storage battery decays below 80%, it will not fully meet the power demand of automobiles and can be used in other fields step by step.

  The "Investigation Report on Recycling and Utilization of Power Batteries in New Energy Vehicles (Introduction)" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that most of the current cascade utilization of power batteries is in the experimental demonstration stage, mainly in the fields of power preparation and energy storage. In 2018, China Tower Company stopped purchasing lead-acid batteries, and vigorously promoted the step-by-step utilization of lithium batteries. The application of step-by-step utilization of batteries for power preparation has been carried out in about 120,000 base stations in 31 provinces and cities, and business development has been strengthened in the application scenarios of power preparation, energy storage and external power generation. State Grid has built a 1 MW-hour energy storage system demonstration project using lithium iron phosphate batteries in steps to accept renewable energy for power generation and frequency modulation.

  Zhang Tianren said that at present, there are two main destinations for retired power batteries of new energy vehicles, one is step-by-step utilization, and the other is recycling. After dismantling the scrapped batteries, the heavy metals in them will be refined and reused. "From the perspective of the whole life cycle, the batteries used in the cascade need to be recycled after they are finally scrapped." The state attaches great importance to the recycling of power batteries. In 2018, the ministries and commissions of industry, information technology, environmental protection and other countries jointly issued the Interim Measures for the Management of Recycling of Power Batteries for New Energy Vehicles and other regulations to strengthen the recycling management of power batteries, standardize the development of the industry and promote the comprehensive utilization of resources. However, the recycling of power batteries is still a new field, and it is still in its infancy, facing many difficulties and deficiencies. It is particularly critical and important to revise the Specifications and Measures in time.

  Establish a perfect and mature comprehensive utilization database

  The newly released revised draft of the Specification Conditions and the revised draft of the Measures are revised and improved on the basis of relevant documents in 2016, especially reflecting the technology and technology-driven, making the traceability and utilization of power batteries more perfect and safer.

  In the recycling of used batteries, traceability is considered to be a key link. The Interim Provisions on the Traceability Management of Power Battery Recycling in New Energy Vehicles proposes that a comprehensive traceability management platform will be established to collect information on the whole process of production, sales, use, scrapping, recycling and utilization of new energy power lithium batteries, and to test the fulfillment of recycling responsibilities by all link subjects.

  Zhang Tianren said that at present, China’s battery recycling system is not perfect, and there is no effective cooperation mechanism among automobile manufacturers, battery manufacturers, recycling enterprises and recycling enterprises, and the rights and responsibilities are not clear enough. These institutional measures have played a positive role in strengthening the efficient utilization of scrapped batteries. The further improvement of the traceability management of power batteries is highlighted in the revised draft of the Specification.

  For example, in the general requirements of "technology, equipment and technology", the revised draft of "Specifications and Conditions" added a new item, "It should meet the relevant requirements of traceability management of recycling and utilization of power batteries for new energy vehicles, and have the ability of information traceability, such as traceability information system and auxiliary facilities and equipment such as code identification." When it comes to the inability to dispose of "electronic components, metals, graphite, plastics, rubber, diaphragms, electrolytes and other parts and materials produced in the process of comprehensive utilization", it requires enterprises to "hand over relevant qualified enterprises for centralized treatment according to relevant national requirements" and "do a good job in tracking management"; In the article "Product Quality and Vocational Education", recycling enterprises are required to upgrade from "establishing a complete traceability system" to "establishing a complete information production process management system", which is also conducive to establishing a more complete and mature comprehensive utilization database of used power batteries.

  Safety is the foundation of the development of power batteries. Similarly, the revised version of Specification and Conditions puts forward higher requirements for the safety of power batteries in the process of recycling. Among them, in the "Environmental Protection Requirements" clause, more detailed treatment requirements are added for "gas" separately, "the residues that are flammable and explosive at normal temperature and pressure and discharge toxic gases generated in the process of comprehensive utilization must be pretreated to make them stable before storage, otherwise they will be stored as flammable and explosive dangerous goods"; In the clause of "Safety in production, personal health and social responsibility", a new requirement for transportation is added: "The transportation of waste power batteries should meet the requirements of relevant national laws, regulations and standards, and the battery structure should be ensured as far as possible. Before transportation, the waste power batteries should be classified according to their safety characteristics, and the corresponding transportation plan should be adopted according to relevant standards, with safety guarantee measures such as fire prevention, waterproof, explosion prevention, insulation and heat insulation, and emergency plans should be formulated."

  Key common technologies need to be broken through urgently.

  China’s lithium resources are about 7 million tons, ranking fourth in the world. However, due to the poor grade, difficult purification and high cost of lithium ore, it is necessary to import a large number of lithium ore every year, and its dependence on foreign countries exceeds 85%. "China demand" has also promoted the skyrocketing price of battery-grade lithium carbonate, from less than 50,000 yuan/ton at the beginning of 2015 to 180,000 yuan/ton at the end of 2017, an increase of nearly three times, which is not conducive to the development of new energy automobile industry and poses a serious challenge to China’s resource security.

  Zhang Tianren said that waste power batteries are precious "urban mines", and the metal content is much higher than that of ores. Recovering and recycling valuable metals such as lithium, cobalt and nickel in them can improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce external dependence. Waste power batteries will do great harm to the ecological environment if they are improperly treated and discarded at will. "Heavy metal elements such as cobalt and nickel in cathode materials, organic substances in electrolyte and carbon materials in cathode will cause serious pollution to water and soil, especially once heavy metals penetrate into soil, it will be difficult to recover for decades."

  Therefore, in the aspect of energy conservation and environmental protection, the revised draft of the Specifications and Conditions puts forward a specification for the recovery rate of lithium for the first time, that is, it is not less than 85%, and the material recovery rate should be not less than 90% if the material repair process is adopted. In order to avoid the "small workshop" of recycling with crude technology and backward technology from affecting the overall healthy development of the industry, the revised draft of "Specifications and Conditions" upgraded the environmental protection requirements. New construction, renovation and expansion of comprehensive utilization enterprises should strictly implement the environmental assessment system, and be included in the construction projects listed in the classified management list of pollutant discharge permits of fixed pollution sources, and apply for pollutant discharge permits in accordance with the relevant management regulations of the state on pollutant discharge permits; On-line monitoring devices such as wastewater, waste gas and industrial solid waste generated in the process of comprehensive utilization have changed from "encouraging installation" to "should have".

  The revised version of the Specification emphasizes that "production equipment and facilities with high production automation efficiency, advanced energy consumption indicators, environmental protection standards and high comprehensive utilization rate of resources should be selected, and new technologies and processes that are energy-saving, environmental protection, clean, efficient and intelligent should be adopted." Zhang Tianren said that at present, the recycling technology is not mature, the level of automation is low and the cost remains high. "In view of the weak links in the recycling of waste power batteries, Industry-University-Research should be organized to jointly tackle key problems, continuously improve the level of process equipment, metal refining technology, energy saving and consumption reduction, break through key common technologies, effectively reduce production costs, and gradually cultivate mature industrial systems."

  Marathon events are closed, gyms and stadiums are closed … … Since the beginning of this year, affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the sports industry in China has suffered from the cold winter, and the vigorous national fitness enthusiasm is facing unprecedented challenges. In the face of the crisis, from the government to enterprises, all parties in the national fitness work together to overcome difficulties, relieve the demand for fitness with innovative models, and open up new markets with transformation and upgrading.

  Nowadays, with the situation of epidemic prevention and control improving, the hard ice of industrial development has gradually melted. After the exploration during the epidemic period, the enthusiasm of national fitness is in generate.

  The epidemic awakens the public’s awareness of fitness

  Since it reopened in April, the gymnasium in Li Yang has resumed its former liveliness. "Most of the former members came back to exercise, and there were many new customers who came to consult and experience. After this epidemic, everyone generally pays more attention to sports and health. "

  Affected by the epidemic, at the beginning of this year, sports consumer enterprises in various places, including gymnasiums and offline sports training, stopped working, and Li Yang’s gym in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province was no exception. After being closed for many months, the operation of the gym once faced difficulties, and Li Yang once had the idea of shutting it down. "But many members called and asked about the time to resume business. So I want to bite my teeth and stick to it. I can’t live up to everyone’s enthusiasm. "

  It is because of persistence that Li Yang saw the dawn. With the relief of the epidemic, the long-lost fitness industry has gradually recovered. The epidemic situation has further awakened the public’s awareness of fitness and reshaped their lifestyles, and people’s consumer demand for physical fitness has brought new kinetic energy to the industry.

  Many people in the fitness industry believe that although they are experiencing the stage of recovery from pain, they believe that after the epidemic, with the upsurge of people’s fitness enthusiasm, the fitness industry will usher in a new period of rapid development.

  An epidemic has made more people deeply understand the significance of sports to life. Xiao Luo, who works in Beijing, recently returned to the gym in the community. During the epidemic, she insisted on exercising at home, and now she has returned to the fitness "base camp". She has set herself the goal of exercising four times a week. "This epidemic really made me feel ‘ Health is the capital of revolution ’ The truth is, it is only when you practice your body well that you can ‘ Working for the health of the motherland for 50 years ’ 。”

  It’s the summer vacation, and the youth fitness training is also quite hot. You Wu, a parent of the post-80s generation, said that during the summer vacation, he gave his son a physical education class in fencing and basketball, hoping that he would have a healthy body since he was a child.

  "During the epidemic, children didn’t get enough physical exercise, and many parents took advantage of the summer vacation to give it to their children ‘ Make up physical education class ’ 。” You Wu said that in addition to football, basketball, physical fitness and other courses, sailing, equestrian and other "high-end" projects are also favored by parents.

  In fact, this epidemic has prompted many parents to change their living habits and educational concepts, and pay more attention to their children’s physical education. Some experts pointed out that the epidemic will eventually pass, but parents’ investment in children’s physical education will be more scientific and rational.

  Nationwide, regional mass sports activities have also become active recently.

  In Wuhan, where the epidemic was the worst, the joy of sports has returned to people’s lives. At present, the opening rate of outdoor sports and fitness venues such as basketball, football, tennis and racing in Wuhan has reached 70%, and the fitness participation rate of open outdoor venues can basically reach 80% in the same period last year; The opening rate of indoor fitness venues reached 40%, and the fitness participation rate was about 10% to 20% compared with the same period last year.

  According to the person in charge of the sports department in Wuhan, as the epidemic prevention and control situation continues to improve, Wuhan Stadium will continue to expand its opening to the outside world. In the second half of the year, Wuhan is expected to organize sports events such as National Fitness Games, Crossing the River Festival and Wuhan Marathon to further enhance the participation rate of citizens in sports events.

  Experts believe that the impact of the epidemic on national fitness is temporary, and the sports industry in China still has a good development prospect.

  Wang Yuxiong, director of the Sports Economic Research Center of the Central University of Finance and Economics, believes that the rapid growth of the sports industry in recent years is based on a solid foundation for economic and social development, which will not be reversed by the impact of the epidemic. "In the long run, after the epidemic, people’s sports consumption concept will be enhanced, and our public management system will be more perfect, so there will be no problems in the industry prospects, and the momentum of rapid development in recent years will not be reversed."

  Cloud fitness opens up more scenes

  During the epidemic, home-based fitness and home-based sports became the new fashion. With the off-line fitness venues closed, more and more sports enthusiasts have moved to the online, and the "cloud" fitness method has been popular and ushered in a wave of outbreaks.

  After the Spring Festival this year, Chen Long, a citizen of Jinan, Shandong Province who works from home, became a "heavy user" of fitness software. "I used to play football with my friends. After the outbreak, I didn’t exercise for a long time and felt uncomfortable. Later, influenced by my friends, I downloaded some fitness courses on the mobile APP." Chen Long said that she thought online fitness was "boring" before, but after practicing it several times, she found that the courses on her mobile phone were very rich and professional. Now, after returning to work, in addition to resuming the offline appointment, I will "punch in" in the fitness software every week.

  The emergence of the epidemic has made "Cloud Fitness" a compulsory physical education course for many people in China. It is the choice of many fitness enterprises and sports practitioners to let the national fitness link the cloud and embrace the cloud. During the epidemic, users of fitness software skyrocketed; Many fitness institutions have launched online services; The fitness instructor became a "online celebrity" on the live broadcast platform; Many retired and active sports stars also boarded the "cloud" and recorded videos to guide mass fitness.

  According to the data of fitness software Keep, during the epidemic, users’ exercise duration averaged 36.2 minutes each time, nearly doubling compared with 2019. The cumulative coverage of sports live broadcasts launched by Keep in conjunction with many institutions and fitness experts exceeded 56.5 million. In addition, Internet companies such as Ali Sports and PP Sports have also launched a variety of home fitness courses, attracting a large number of users to watch.

  At the same time, all localities are actively exploring new fitness models that integrate online and offline. In Xiamen, Fujian, the local home fitness online sports meeting attracted many citizens to participate; In Qinghai, local online home fitness activities have been launched, and a number of "promotion leaders" and "fitness experts" have emerged to actively lead the fitness fashion; In Chengyang District, Qingdao, Shandong Province, the first "Balcony Marathon" and "Family Fun Games" were popular among residents … …

  A few days ago, a survey on home fitness of urban and rural residents in Zhejiang Province showed that during the epidemic period, 81.54% of the residents in the province carried out fitness activities, and 82.5% of them recognized the necessity of home fitness.

  The insiders believe that the "cloud fitness" during the epidemic has brought multiple benefits to the national fitness. With the development of exercise habits, the sports population will definitely increase after the epidemic. The fiery online sports will also drive the growth of sports consumption and drive the development of sports industry.

  During the "618" shopping festival this year, sports consumption achieved outstanding results, among which fitness equipment categories ushered in a full-scale outbreak. According to the data of JD.COM, from June 1 to 14, the turnover of barbells and kettlebells increased by 64% and 109% respectively. The turnover of skipping rope and yoga circle increased by more than 240% year-on-year, and the turnover of rowing machine and elliptical machine increased by more than 50% year-on-year.

  "After this epidemic, many people realized that health is the best investment." Some fitness enthusiasts say this.

  Many people in the industry said that after the epidemic, mass fitness will tend to be normalized, and outdoor and venue fitness will still become the mainstream, but this does not mean that "cloud fitness" will disappear. The epidemic situation can accelerate the Internet gene implantation of sports fitness and leisure industry, and the fitness and leisure industry based on offline scenes will strengthen online education and training and realize diversified business models.

  Li Xinyan, general manager of Keep, said: "In the long run, the exercise habits developed online during this period will still be reserved, and it will become a normal state to go to sports meetings regularly. There are many new forms and opportunities in generate, which may be a new tipping point for the future sports industry. "

  Do everything possible to boost fitness enthusiasm

  With the situation of epidemic prevention and control improving, national fitness activities have been resumed in various parts of China. In order to encourage the development of the fitness market and promote related enterprises to return to work and achieve production, various localities have built platforms and boosted confidence for fitness enthusiasts and sports enterprises in various ways.

  In March of this year, Jiangsu introduced the "15 sports industries" policy to help enterprises out. At present, the provincial sports industry development special fund with a total project amount of 185 million yuan, the central and provincial public stadiums and gymnasiums open to the public free of charge or at low fees, and the provincial fitness club special support fund have been allocated.

  Tianjin recently launched the "You Fitness, I Subsidy" Huimin Fitness Consumption Subsidy Activity, with the first payment amount of 1 million yuan. Local citizens only need to use Alipay client to spend money at contracted merchants, and they can enjoy full subsidy reduction.

  Sports tourism, which is seriously affected by the epidemic, has also become a good starting point for all localities to stimulate consumption and tap new economic growth points. In order to restore the development of sports tourism as soon as possible, various localities have introduced corresponding measures.

  Recently, the 2020 Hainan hydrophilic sports season kicked off in Boao. During the six-month activity, Hainan will organize six major theme month activities, and hold a series of events, trainings and experience activities to attract all kinds of people to participate in sports tourism activities, so as to create new hotspots and new formats for national fitness and tourism consumption.

  The National Fitness Day is coming, and all localities are gearing up to "add a fire" to the enthusiasm of national fitness.

  Recently, the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau announced that it will jointly hold the first "8 8 Beijing Sports Consumption Festival" with JD.COM Group. The activities are divided into three sections: online shopping, online booking and online competition. Among them, the "online buying" section will carry out sports goods exhibition, which will benefit sports consumers to the greatest extent and stimulate sports consumption. The "Online Booking" section will invite the public to make an appointment to participate in fitness activities. On August 8, public stadiums and gymnasiums with open conditions in Beijing will be open to the public free of charge. At the same time, all kinds of operating sports and fitness venues in the city will be openly solicited, and eligible venues will also launch free fitness services and experience products on August 8.

  In addition, Beijing will also invite the public to participate in online events in the "Online Competition" section, including "August 8 Beijing Sports Consumption Festival Beijing International Long-distance Running Festival", "Brave Forward, Fitness Beijing", "Running to 2022" Park Half Marathon Online Series, "Nanchang — Beijing "city online public welfare relay race, etc.

  As the venue of the 2021 National Games, Shaanxi Province launched the "I want to participate in the National Games" sports skill exhibition on the occasion of the National Fitness Day. During the activity, Shaanxi will carry out a series of events or activities, such as the national physical training standard test, the "five-in" activity of sports health, the three-on-three basketball game, the five-a-side football game, the rope skipping game and the sports night market.

Chinese scientific research team found a new way to improve the performance of all-perovskite laminated solar cells

  Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, November 12 (Reporter Hou Wenkun) After long-term research, Professor Ke Weijun and Professor Fang Guo from the School of Physical Science and Technology of Wuhan University have made new progress in exploring the performance improvement of all-perovskite laminated solar cells, and creatively put forward the integrated doping strategy of aspartic acid hydrochloride, which effectively improved the efficiency and stability of narrow-band gap perovskite subcells and found new ways to further improve the battery performance. Related research results were recently published in the journal Nature.

  According to reports, the new metal halide perovskite has the advantages of simple preparation process, high defect tolerance, high absorption coefficient and long carrier diffusion length, which has attracted much attention in the field of optoelectronic devices and is considered as one of the next generation photovoltaic materials with great prospects in the industry.

  Ke Weijun, one of the authors of the paper and a professor at the School of Physical Science and Technology of Wuhan University, said that in practical application, the all-perovskite laminated solar cell is composed of a broad-band gap perovskite subcell at the top and a narrow-band gap perovskite subcell at the bottom, and the narrow-band gap perovskite subcell that is not excellent enough is one of the stumbling blocks for its commercial application in the future.

  To this end, the research team introduced aspartic acid hydrochloride into the hole transport layer, perovskite light absorption layer and upper interface layer at the bottom of all perovskite laminated solar cells, and developed an integrated doping strategy with the same molecular treatment, which greatly improved the quality of perovskite thin films. In addition to coordinating with perovskite precursors, aspartic acid hydrochloride molecules also have strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, so aspartic acid hydrochloride enriched at the upper and lower interfaces of perovskite acts as a molecular lock between the interface of perovskite layer and transport layer, further improving the performance and stability of perovskite materials.

  In addition, how to inhibit the spontaneous oxidation of unstable divalent tin metal ions in narrow-gap perovskite subcells is also one of the pain points in the industry. The results show that aspartic acid hydrochloride can effectively inhibit the oxidation of divalent tin ions and reduce harmful tetravalent tin impurities. Moreover, the introduction of aspartic acid hydrochloride can also passivate the defects of perovskite materials, adjust Fermi level and inhibit harmful ion migration, thus enhancing the performance and stability of devices.

  Ke Weijun said that the research shows that this simple integrated doping strategy can achieve multiple functions at one stroke and improve the steady-state efficiency of narrow-band perovskite subcells to 27.62%, which provides a new way to improve the performance of all-perovskite stacked solar cells.

Mermaid sadism! What’s the story of Stephen Chow’s The Mermaid?

    Special feature of 1905 film network On January 31st, The Mermaid, which will be released on the first day of the New Year’s Day, held a conference of "Fish, Water and Acacia" in Beijing. Director Stephen Chow made a collective appearance with the mighty "Mermaid Family" and released a trailer of the final version for 1 minute and 40 seconds.

    This highly anticipated film has maintained a mystery so far, and has always adopted the hunger marketing route, without any screening and media watching activities in advance. It is really hard to say whether Master Xing is too confident or too unsure about the quality of this film.

    We can only get a glimpse of several groups of film materials exposed at present.


1. This movie is very Stephen Chow.

Stephen Chow is not only the king of comedy of the performing world, but also the film he directed is unique. Starting from "Demon Journey to the West", he no longer arranged a place for himself in the film, but hid behind the monitor as a director.

Inner OS: What the hell is it? …

    The first time we heard that there was no Stephen Chow in a Stephen Chow movie, we felt a little sorry in our hearts. However, when we saw The Demon on a Journey to the West, we were surprised to see the familiar shadow of cynicism in the article, Bo Huang, Show Lo and even Shu Qi’s role.

    After a lapse of three years, there will be no guest appearance of Master Xing in The Mermaid, but through the director’s special feature exposed by the film, it can be found that his director’s way is to completely instill his performance into the actors, even at the expense of repeatedly demonstrating in person, in order to accurately meet his requirements.

Demonstrate and guide the actors to perform in person.

    So, even if Master Xing doesn’t appear in the movie, we don’t have to worry. "Mermaid" is definitely a film that inherits Stephen Chow’s strong personal style. There are all kinds of nonsense, cold humor, man show and madness in it, and every one is guaranteed.

2, the character has a big bottom and an N angle, which is related to mermaid sadism

    There are quite a few familiar faces in this movie. From the trailer currently exposed, we see Deng Chao, Show Lo, Yuqi Zhang, Jelly Lin, Li Shangzheng, Lu Zhengyu, Yang Neng, Ke Bai, Kong Lianshun, Wu Yifan, Wen Jian, Zhang Mei ‘e, etc., and all the immortals show their magical powers — — Of course, most of them are "dead walk-on".

For example, this:

Yang Neng, the "Pork Guy" in shaolin soccer, turned into the curator of the World Museum of Rare Animals in The Mermaid, and personally performed it for a group of tourists — — "Our ancestors were all fish."

There are also two police comrades who were exposed in the first preview, whose painting is "super good" and their understanding ability is "first-class", which were played by Tang Priest’s article and Friar Sand Li Shangzheng in "Demon Journey to the West" respectively.

Even Wu Yifan, a guest star, got a glimpse in the final trailer — — Look at the dress, you should be a rich second generation.

However, there is a role that has not been revealed so far, and that is "Master" Tsui Hark! At the press conference held yesterday, not only the "Mermaid Family" was all out, but also an old friend of Xingye, Tsui Hark, was invited, and he was revealed to have a guest performance in The Mermaid. "There are more than one line."

Master Xing also said with a smile: "Tsui Hark’s acting skills are very good. In fact, the director who can act best, I think one is Director Xu and the other is me. There is nothing to say about acting skills."

Two "old urchins" were funny at the press conference.

Of course, the most important roles in the film are the four donkey kong — — Octopus, mermaid, sea urchin and … … Lettuce?

Deng Chao: The hero of the film is a wealthy real estate developer and local tyrant. In Stephen Chow’s words, this character is a baby at heart, and his beard is his disguise. He wants to pretend to be a mercenary adult. Deng Chao himself explained it in Deng Shiying at the press conference as — — The beard is a ghost, and the beard is an angel.

Angel’s affection

Ghost’s evil (it should be evil … Xueba’s English is not flattering.

Jelly Lin: The mermaid, the heroine of the film, was forced to live in a wrecked ship because of the destruction of the sea and ecology by human beings. Deng Chao, who entered human society in disguise and used love to influence the development of marine resources, didn’t expect that he actually fell in love with him.

A tearful French kiss

Show Lo: Playing octopus is also a marine creature (nonsense). He has always loved the mermaid. When he found that "the person I love has a lover", he was very sad and tried to kill his rival with his tentacles. With eight giant tentacles, he can be regarded as the main fighting force of the mermaid gang.

Yuqi Zhang: Playing Deng Chao’s ex-girlfriend. Not only does she look like an overbearing female silver, but she is also the villain in the film — — The kind that is completely bad. She herself summed up this role as a "synthesis of violence and aesthetics" — — I am beautiful, but I am not gentle.

Mysterious mermaid: In the last fierce battle of the final preview, the amazing mermaid tail on the trailer and poster appeared again. Compared with Lin Yun’s small tail, this fishtail with colorful light has a powerful ability. When flapping the sea, it is "the four seas churn and the five continents shake and thunder". Judging from the expressions of fear on the faces of mermaid and octopus, adult fish should be the villain in the film. Yuqi Zhang, Lenovo’s villain, had a strange look at the little mermaid in the preview … … Murphy, Deng Chao breath even made two mermaid girlfriend? (This doesn’t seem to be the point … …

But if you zoom in carefully, the mermaid’s upper body seems to be a long-haired man in a white shirt, which is a bit similar to Yang Neng’s image.

How big is Master Xing’s brain hole? The answer can only be revealed after the film is released.

3. The main line of the story is positive energy

If you think this is a story that he loves her, she loves him, he loves her and doesn’t love her, and she loves him and doesn’t love him, then you are too young (fu) and childish (qian). You told us at the very beginning of the trailer that this is a tall environmental propaganda film!

Mermaids and humans should have lived in peace. Who knows, the more they progress, the more violent they become … …

Xuan Shao, played by Deng Chao, was originally a mercenary businessman. The development of real estate involved reclamation projects, which threatened the ethnic groups living in the sea. Jelly Lin’s mermaid Sam was sent to stop her. She turned into a human being, and fell in love with Xuan Shao in the process of fighting, and finally succeeded in stopping the whole project and protecting her home.

From this stills, we can also see that mermaids are covered with all kinds of rubbish and waste in the sea.

At the end of the trailer, it also echoed the theme:

If your life is only the last minute, if there is not even a drop of clean water and a breath of clean air on the earth, what do you want to do most?

In addition, we also saw a very familiar line in the previous trailer:

Isn’t this just a salted fish?


If you don’t have a dream, what’s the difference between being a man and salted fish?

It’s a tribute to the previous work.

Deng Xiaoping’s football feelings: I have a soft spot and have asked China football many times.


Data Map: Deng Xiaoping at the age of 84. China News Agency issued Zheng Ruide photo


  Deng Xiaoping has a special liking for football all his life. As early as his teenage years in France, he would rather be hungry than save money to watch football matches. In 1924, the 8th Olympic Games was held in Paris. In order to watch the football match, Deng Xiaoping spared no expense to buy tickets. He later recalled: "Five francs is a day’s meal, and when you watch the ball, you sit in the highest position, so you can’t even see the ball clearly." Until his later years, he clearly remembered that the winner of that competition was Uruguay.


  In the summer of 1974, shortly after Deng Xiaoping’s second comeback, he watched the documentary "The World is at Your Feet" reflecting the 10th World Cup. Chen Jialiang, who was in charge of football in the former State Sports Commission, recalled the situation at that time and said, "He never had a rest during the three-hour screening! He rarely asks me questions, and he doesn’t talk much. Sometimes he makes a brief comment when he sees the fun. " "The world at your feet" seems to be finished in 70 or 80 minutes! However, Xiaoping was obviously not satisfied, and immediately asked:’ What else? Play it again! Play it again!’ So we didn’t rest at all, and immediately showed him the documentaries such as the World Cup Final. "


  Deng Xiaoping retired at home in his later years, so he had more leisure to watch football matches. Zhang Baozhong, his guard, recalled: "He is famous for his love of football, and he has always loved it. He likes football and other sports. In the 13th World Cup, I can’t remember whether there were 52 or 53 games. He lost every game and watched them all. He watches the games he can watch during the day, and he asks me to record the games he can’t watch at night. And after recording it, he still won’t let me tell him the result. " Deng Xiaoping has always maintained a detached and calm attitude towards the result of the football match. He said: "Look at the ball, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a good level if you score more goals, and it looks good if you don’t score goals." Although we lost, our players worked hard and played well, but the level was not on the same ladder as others, and they played well! "


  Deng Xiaoping is very concerned about the development of football in China. In 1952, he said, "I hope the national football team will train strictly, lay a good foundation and train a group of excellent coaches and players as soon as possible." On the evening of July 30, 1977, while watching the match between Hongkong Football Team and China Youth Football Team, Deng Xiaoping pointed out to the head of the State Sports Commission at half time: "You can send several referees to study in Germany, and you should train international referees and improve their level." When meeting the athletes after the game, he said: In the future, we should go abroad, learn advanced skills and accumulate experience by playing games, so as to improve the football level in China as soon as possible. In August 1985, he pointed out: "I watched several live broadcasts of the FIFA Koda Cup World Championships under the age of 16, and saw that each team performed very well in terms of technology and sports ethics. They play with great vigor and are the hope of the world football. China also played well. If we want to develop Chinese football, we must start from dolls and teenagers. " After the reform and opening-up, China’s sports went all-round to the world with brilliant achievements, but the development of Chinese football was very slow, and it was too late to rush out of Asia. Faced with this situation, Deng Xiaoping once instructed the central responsible comrades in charge of sports: "We should establish a football special zone." Soon, China’s first "Football Special Zone" was listed in Dalian. Under his impetus, China Football Association sent China Youth Team, "Jianlibao" Youth Team and China Youth Team to study in Brazil to learn the advanced football consciousness and football skills and tactics of Brazil and Germany, the world football powers.This has also objectively promoted the development of Chinese football.

The Birth of the Song "I Dedicate Oil to the Motherland"

Qin Yongcheng’s "First Oil Well" in Daqing Oilfield. Pictures are data pictures.

Qin Yongcheng (right) is with oil workers in Panjin Oilfield. Pictures are data pictures.

  [Great motherland, unforgettable songs].

  "Splendid rivers and mountains are picturesque, and the motherland is building a cross-horse. It’s a great honor for me to be an oil worker and travel around the world wearing an aluminum helmet … …” This heroic ode to oil workers is not only a clarion call to encourage oil workers from generation to generation to join in the construction of the motherland, but also an overall portrayal of the outstanding heroes of the working class in China. Although it was written more than half a century ago, it is still so exciting and exciting to sing today.

  The composer Qin Yongcheng (1933— 2015) is the first generation composer trained in New China. During more than half a century’s creative career, he has created a large number of musical works with high artistic achievements and wide social influence, such as the song "I offer oil for the motherland", "Chairman Mao travels all over the motherland", My People,My Country, vocal concerto "Haiyan", symphonic poem "Two Little Cowboys" and movie music "Entrepreneurship" and "Marshal and Soldiers". He made great contributions to the music, art and education in our country all his life.

  Three days with the "Iron Man"

  In 1964, a notice brought Qin Yongcheng into close contact with Li Jiefu, a famous composer and president of Shenyang Conservatory of Music. It was this notice that made him have an indissoluble bond with oil workers all his life. In March this year, China Musicians Association organized some composers to experience life in Daqing Oilfield and created a batch of works reflecting oil workers. Dean Hijacking also received a notice, asking him to report to Sarthou, Heilongjiang Province on March 20th. After receiving the notice, the dean of the robbery immediately made preparations for leaving. Due to physical reasons, the college is going to find a young man to accompany the dean of the robbery to "go north". At the suggestion of the dean of the robbery, Qin Yongcheng will accompany him. Unfortunately, Qin Yongcheng was suffering from a high fever and had been in bed for three days. Upon hearing this, Dean Hijacking personally visited Qin Yongcheng’s home and told him to rest at ease for illness. In the face of this rare opportunity, Qin Yongcheng looked forward to his early recovery. Although his fever had gone down the next day, he was still very weak, and insisted on accompanying Dean Jiefu.

  On the evening of 19th, Qin Yongcheng got his wish and boarded the train to the north. In the car, Qin Yongcheng finally put forward the question that was hidden in his heart: "Where are we going to Sarthou?" Dean Hijacking told him quietly: "Sarthou is a big oil field, called Daqing Oilfield, and it is still confidential." After moving to Daqing, Qin Yongcheng lived with many famous musicians such as Lv Ji, Qu Wei, Wang Xin, Zhang Lu and Jiefu in the guest house of Daqing Petroleum Command.

  Since the next day, the oil field has arranged courses for musicians to introduce oil-related knowledge, from exploration and drilling to oil production and refining for ten days, with one content per day. Ten days later, the oilfield arranged for them to experience life in the first line. Qin Yongcheng, Jiefu and Wang Xin (songwriters of "Singing the Motherland") were assigned to the "1205 Hero Drilling Team" with Wang Jinxi, the "Iron Man", and lived together with the "Iron Man" for three days. During this period, Wang Jinxi told Qin Yongcheng that when he held a People’s Congress in Beijing in 1959, he saw that the buses in Beijing were in a heavy mood because of lack of oil and carrying gas bags. He also listened to him tell the story of the Daqing Petroleum Congress. In the spring of 1960, Wang Jinxi’s drilling team was in Yumen Oilfield. When it was heard that a large oil field had been discovered in the north, the whole country was going to hold a general meeting there, and immediately asked the superior to fight. They said goodbye to their relatives and boarded the train going north in their light clothes. Faced with the harsh climate, hard living and working environment, and poor equipment, oil workers shouted the loud slogan of "if you have the conditions, you should go if you don’t have the conditions" in order to get rid of the label of "poor oil" as soon as possible and break the economic blockade of western hostile forces. "When the oil workers roar, the earth will shake three times."Qin Yongcheng’s soul was strongly shocked and greatly impacted by his earth-shattering fearless revolutionary heroism. Especially in the days spent with Wang Jinxi and his heroic drilling crew, Qin Yongcheng’s understanding of oil workers has been greatly sublimated, and he has a strong emotional resonance. He is determined to create works that can reflect the spirit of oil workers to express his high respect for them.

  A masterpiece completed in the canteen of the hostel.

  After three days of experience, Qin Yongcheng returned to the guest house, and the Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of the Oilfield prepared a batch of lyrics reflecting the work and life of Daqing Oilfield and oil workers for them, hoping that composers would compose music for them. After the old composers had chosen the lyrics, Qin Yongcheng also chose them. At this time, a lyric jumped into his eyes, which was written by oil worker Xue Zhuguo, "I offer oil for my motherland." This first-person lyric is vivid and vivid, which vividly depicts the heroic and optimistic mood of oil workers and the fearless revolutionary spirit of fighting against the world. The more Qin Yongcheng watched it, the more he liked it. The more he watched it, the more excited he became. At this moment, he was inspired and full of thoughts. In the canteen of the hostel, he finished writing this work in just 20 minutes.

  Inspired by the artistic conception of the lyrics, the prelude of the song adopts a fast speed, a lively and elastic rhythm, and a fluctuating melody line, like a train full of oil workers galloping in the splendid rivers and mountains of the motherland, from the northwest of the motherland to the northeast thousands of miles away. Then, the heroic song of the oil workers was introduced: "The beautiful rivers and mountains are picturesque, and the motherland is building a beautiful horse. I am honored to be an oil worker and wear an aluminum helmet to travel all over the world." The melody of the song is broad, fresh and smooth, which vividly depicts the bold spirit of oil workers and the revolutionary optimism full of pride and self-confidence. On the word "kua" of "kua steed", the melody absorbs the elements of rap music and adopts a sliding tone, which is not only in line with the rhyme of Chinese four tones but also forceful, and can better highlight the bold and hearty character of oil workers. These four sentences are lyrical paragraphs, which vividly depict the heroic fighting spirit and optimistic spirit of oil workers moving to the north and south and being at home all over the world.

  In order to show the dauntless heroism spirit and heroic spirit of oil workers, who are "fearless of heaven, fearless of earth, and fearless of storm, thunder and lightning", Qin Yongcheng treated these two lyrics into short and powerful eight-point dotted notes and syncopated rhythm, which made the music more powerful and dynamic. At the same time, it not only forms a sharp contrast with the previous lyric paragraphs, but also lays a good foundation for the climax of the whole song that appears later.

  The climax of the song is in the last two phrases, "I contribute oil to my motherland, where there is oil, my home is there". In order to make the climax of the song more prominent and infectious, Qin Yongcheng ingeniously treated the first beat at the beginning of this sentence as a rest, and started the word "I am" from the weak beat to highlight the word "ancestor" in the next section. Then, on the word "oil" for "offering oil", the melody adopts a circuitous upward movement, forming a large-span 10-degree interval in the range. In the last four bars of the song, Qin Yongcheng skillfully used the drawl of China’s traditional opera music for reference. It is worth mentioning that in the first draft of the work, the last four sections are not like this, but after Qin Yongcheng returned to school, he sang the work to friends and students, listened to and adopted everyone’s suggestions, and changed the original last simple melody into the current one-stop drawl. In this way, the music is more infectious and dynamic, which not only depicts the free and easy character of oil workers, but also makes the whole song end in an atmosphere full of optimism and pride. The revised work was published in the journal "Music Life" of Liaoning Branch of China Music Association, which soon became a hero’s ode to oil workers in the north and south of the motherland and inside and outside the Great Wall.

  The only "composer of oil workers"

  The first singer of this song, Liu Bingyi, a famous baritone singer of the former Central Orchestra, also played an important role in the promotion of this song. He and Qin Yongcheng also became attached to this song, and it was sung for 50 years. And Qin Yongcheng also started from this song, and successively created a number of excellent works reflecting oil workers. In 1973, as a key project of the Ministry of Culture, Changying filmed a feature film "Entrepreneurship" reflecting the Daqing Petroleum Congress, and specially invited Qin Yongcheng to create music for this film. Qin Yongcheng lived up to expectations, and created a number of well-known songs in his film music, such as Looking at Beijing with deep feelings, Entrepreneurial songs, and The Fragrance of Oil in Tianya Wan Li. Because of Qin Yongcheng’s outstanding contribution to the creation of oil-related music, the vast number of oil workers are familiar with the name Qin Yongcheng and affectionately call him "the composer of oil workers". In 1994, China Petroleum and Natural Gas Corporation (formerly the Ministry of Petroleum Industry) awarded Qin Yongcheng the honorary title of "composer of oil workers", and he was the only composer in China to win this honor. In 1996, China Records Corporation awarded Qin Yongcheng the "Golden Record Award" for this work, which was later included in the 20th century Chinese classics.

  Praising the motherland and people and eulogizing the times and life are the themes of Qin Yongcheng’s life creation. It is precisely because of Qin Yongcheng’s deep patriotism, deep thoughts and feelings for the broad masses of the people, including oil workers, rich musical language based on Chinese excellent musical culture, and continuous absorption of rich nutrition and creative sources in the long-term in-depth social life that he created such immortal masterpieces represented by "I Contribute Oil to the Motherland", which are full of positive energy and the main theme of the times, and have high artistic value and appeal to both refined and popular tastes.
