What if there are only three readers left in online celebrity Bookstore?

  On July 6th, 2022, Beijing Youth Daily reported that online celebrity Bookstore withdrew from Beijing and left in a daze. Nearly ten months have passed, but the complaints that there is no way to spend stored-value cards after saying a few words and withdrawing from the store have intensified. Up to now, there are 6,986 matching results on the black cat complaint platform with "saying a few words" as the key word.

  On April 12, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that more than 500,000 rents and property fees owed to Haidian Wukesong Huaxi LIVE Commercial Complex were still in an unresolved state. Regarding the complaints of member customers’ stored-value cards, Yanji’s customer service hotline in Chengdu Headquarters replied to the reporter of Beiqing Daily, saying, "Yanji’s personal mobile phone number is registered and recharged, and the member stored-value cards need customers to apply for card refund and refund to Yanji’s platform. After waiting for the scheduled processing, it is expected that the refund will be completed within 180 working days. The refund is handled by our company’s finance, and the refund will eventually be returned to the customer. Don’t worry about this. "

  Long term arrears

  Ten months after defaulting on more than 500,000 rental property fees, it is still on hold.

  According to public information, in 2006, the predecessor of the word — — Today’s reading bookstore was founded in Chengdu. Since 2008, today’s reading has entered the commercial center and expanded to Beijing, Shanghai, Kunming and other cities. Yanjiyou is positioned as an integrated store of urban innovation and cultural life, which mainly provides comprehensive cultural services for urban youth groups aged 18 to 40, and on this basis, provides new lifestyle products led by brand-new design for a new generation of young people, such as new food, new ornaments, new homes, new hanging ornaments, new animation products, new sex toys, etc., and is committed to creating an urban cultural space covering bookstores, cafes, art galleries, cultural and creative life halls and creative incubators. According to the "Enterprise Check" information, Sichuan Yanjiyou Culture Communication Co., Ltd. was established in October 2014, and has completed four rounds of financing. The investors include JD.COM Science and Technology, Xinghan Capital and other well-known institutions, with a total financing amount of about 240 million yuan.

  In 2014, Yanji opened its first store in Beijing — — The "Reading Today" store opened, located in Chuangye Street, Zhongguancun, Haidian District, and opened its first flagship store in Daxing in 2016. By the end of 2018, Yanji had opened eight more stores in Beijing, achieving full coverage of major urban areas such as Dongcheng, Xicheng, Haidian, Chaoyang, Daxing and Changping. In the first half of 2022, Yanji was in the last few stores in Beijing — — Liangmaqiao Guanshe Store, Wukesong Store and Financial Street Store closed one after another. At this point, Yan Ji withdrew from Beijing across the board.

  As early as June 25th, 2022, the reporter of Beiqing Daily saw that the door of "Yanjiyou Reading Today" bookstore was locked during the on-site visit to Huaxi LIVE· Wukesong Commercial Complex in Haidian District, and the notice letter of termination of lease contract from Beijing Wukesong Cultural and Sports Center Co., Ltd. to Beijing Yanjiyou Cultural Service Co., Ltd. was posted at the door. According to the letter of notification, there have been long-term defaults such as arrears. As of June 14, 2022, the rent and property fees were owed more than 548,000 yuan.

  Now that nearly ten months have passed, when the reporter of Beiqing Daily made a telephone call back to the property owner of Huaxi LIVE in Wukesong, the property owner said, "We have sent several lawyers’ letters here, and the debts are still being recovered. Up to now, it is in a state of shelving and unresolved. Although Yanji has withdrawn from Beijing, its corporate headquarters is still there. As a lessee, our shopping mall property company has received many complaints from customers that the stored value card can’t continue to consume after several words and withdrawal. We have all connected these complaints to the headquarters of Yanjiu, and they will handle the complaints in a unified manner. "

  Expansion result

  Nearly 60 stores in the country have been closed, leaving only 3 companies listed as untrustworthy by the Supreme Law.

  At its peak, Yanji once opened nearly 60 stores in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Xiamen and Xi ‘an. Today, only three stores in Chengdu base camp are still open, including Youfang Shopping Center in High-tech Zone and Joy City in Wuhou District.

  According to "Tianyancha", Beijing Yanjiyou Cultural Service Co., Ltd. has entered the list of dishonesty, which is 100% owned by Shanghai Yanjiyou Brand Management Co., Ltd., which is a untrustworthy company publicized by the Supreme People’s Court and listed by the court as a high-consumption enterprise for many times. In April, the company added three pieces of information about the person being executed, with a total execution target of more than 64 million yuan.

  Duiji went from the online celebrity Bookstore with infinite scenery to the sudden departure, and finally shouldered huge debts, which became the mess of the untrustworthy company. He Qicong, an associate professor at the Institute of Cultural Innovation and Communication of Beijing Normal University, who has long been engaged in the study of the format of physical bookstores, said that Duiji took the mode of opening a store quickly with capital — — It is said that the founder of Yanji once said that he would "quickly open 100 stores in 16 cities across the country". The common way of this rapidly expanding consumer brand is to quickly lay offline consumer terminals in the core cities of the country, so as to quickly expand the total asset plate and seek more financing or even listing. It has been reported that most of them rely on external funds to "supply blood", and when investors can’t get a return, they lose the patience to continue investing. The break of the capital chain is estimated to be the direct cause of the large-scale closure of the store.

  The aftermath of closing the store

  It takes 180 working days for the member’s stored-value card to be refunded if the after-sales phone number of several stores is cancelled.

  A few words and a large-scale closure of stores have also made the complaints of members’ customers who have no way to spend stored-value cards worse and worse. A large number of consumers who have no way to defend their rights have gathered in the message area of the store of the consumer comment website, and the amount of stored-value cards of members to be refunded in their hands is between 100 yuan and 1,500 yuan. On the black cat complaint platform, "Yan Ji You" was used as the key word to search, and a total of 6986 matching results appeared.

  In this regard, the reporter of Beiqing Daily, as a member consumer, called the headquarters of Huaxi LIVE Store in Haidian District to handle two after-sales calls, all of which were unable to answer. After many twists and turns, the reporter of Beiqing Daily got through the phone number left in Beijing Guanshe Store. The operator said that because many stores had been closed for a long time, the phone number left was naturally cancelled.

  Regarding the complaint that the member customers’ stored-value cards can’t be refunded after the store is closed, the operator said, "There are two kinds of cards that are sent to customers after a few words: one is a gift card used as a group purchase, and the money in this card can’t be refunded. Customers who hold this card can search for ‘ in the WeChat applet after we go online. Say a few words again ’ Bind gift cards for consumption. The other kind of card is the stored value card of Yanji Member, which is recharged by registering the customer’s personal mobile phone number. After the customer applies to our platform for card refund, it is expected that the refund will be completed within 180 working days … …”

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily asked, "Why wait 180 working days for such a long time?" After a few words, the customer service operator responded, "Because after a few words, there are only three stores in Chengdu, and there are too many customers who go through the formalities of returning cards and fees, all of which are concentrated in Chengdu headquarters for unified handling, so it is necessary to schedule … Throw away the holidays in a year, so that you can get a refund after almost one year. The refund is handled by our company’s finance according to the normal process, and the refund will eventually be returned to the customer. Don’t worry about this. "

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."

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 rapid development of artificial intelligence opens up new employment space

CCTV News:At the Nishan Dialogue Conference on Digital Civilization, the participating experts also discussed the new employment space brought by the development of artificial intelligence. Experts said that with the growing industrial ecology with artificial intelligence as the core, it has injected new impetus into China’s economic development, and at the same time, a large number of new career needs have emerged, opening up new employment space for more young people.

AI pinch face algorithm engineer Wu Jiayang:This is our intelligent face kneading interface, and we can support face kneading through image input and text input.

His name is Wu Jiayang, and his occupation is AI face-kneading algorithm engineer. With the rise of new formats such as Metauniverse and online games in recent years, a professional "face-kneading teacher" has been born, which is to help users create online virtual images with personal characteristics.

AI pinch face algorithm engineer Wu Jiayang:Many players actually want to have a virtual image that is highly similar to themselves in the game or meta-universe, so we can generate a character that is very similar to ourselves by uploading our own photos here. It can make every user feel very immersed in the game, as if he is also there.

In the latest list of new occupations published by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, virtual architects are also impressively listed. At present, this latest occupation is no longer limited to the field of meta-universe and online games, and its service field has been expanded and extended.

Virtual Architect Zou Yi:Virtual space is still widely used now.ofFor example, enterprises, they will need to build their own 3D enterprise space, and then there will be some exhibition conferences. In the case of cultural tourism, such as museums, these scenic spots offline will also have a virtual space online, so the scope of application is very wide.

It is understood that with the development of artificial intelligence technology, some new occupations with relatively low professional threshold are constantly being born, such as data annotators and artificial intelligence trainers, which have now become popular occupations.

In the new theatrical version of Nautical King, is 20-year feelings a plus or a kidnapping?


Special feature of 1905 film network"I am a man who wants to be the king of navigation!"

After the TV version of Nautical King was launched in 1999, this classic line of straw hat boy Lu Fei has been screaming wildly for 20 years, and this bloody animation has also accompanied fans Haimi for 20 years.

The newly released theatrical version is the 20th anniversary of this series of animations.

On the first day of release in Japan, the film jumped to the top of the number of people watching movies on the first day of release in Japan this year. On October 18th, it landed in mainland China, and the box office of the next day surpassed that of Ang Lee, and it broke 100 million in two days, and on the third day, it also broke the box office score of 107 million.

For a fan-oriented animation, it can be said that it is "explosive".

At present, this film ranks seventh in the box office of Japanese animated films imported from the mainland. Looking at the works on the list, it has been removed and three original animations.Nautical King became a famous detective after Doraemon and Dream of DoraemonConanThe third largest daily IP at the mainland box office.


Now, it has also been biting Gemini Man, and the proportion of films has been higher than the latter for four consecutive days, followed by the comprehensive box office, with a difference of less than 20 million. It is estimated that the final box office will be around 200 million, which is comparable to Gemini Man.

Cat’s Eye 9.4, Taobao Film 9.1, Douban 7.9, the audience’s reputation is also better than the previous works.

From the beginning to the end of the high-burning action drama, more than 200 series of animated characters gathered on the stage, and Luffy’s brother Ace, who died, surprised and flashed at the end, playing sentimental cards. As a fan, you can always find your favorite eggs, and you can also see the familiar spirit of "One Piece" and be moved by it..


After 20 years of fire, there is a trick to winning.

"Voyager" series IP is undoubtedly the most successful work in the history of Japanese animation. The comic began to be serialized in 1997, when it was called the "three great romances" in Japan together with Naruto and Hunter. Later, the publication of Hunter stopped and the name of "three great romances" was replaced.


To this day, the best-selling and highest-rated of the three is Nautical King.

Since 2009, it has successively broken the sales records of Dragon Ball and Harry Potter in Japan. In 2015, a total of 320.86 million copies were issued in Japan, which was officially certified by Guinness World Records as "a series of comics created by a single author with the highest circulation in the world."

The 92nd volume was released in early March this year, and the global sales of Voyager also exceeded 450 million copies, which is equal to the sales of fire and ice series novels in the United States.

The new record is still on the way..


The TV version of animation is now at the national level, which has been serialized to more than 900 episodes in the past 20 years. At present, the average audience rating has remained at around 5.0, with little fluctuation and very stable.


Since Naughty King: The Adventures of golden island in 2000, 14 theatrical animations have been produced, among which Naughty King Theatre Z is the most successful, with a domestic box office of 6.87 billion, and it also won the box office record for eight years two days before its release.

Although the box office of the theatrical version is high or low, the series is constantly adjusting the production progress and rhythm. For the sake of quality, the last two works were released only after three or four years.

Comics, TV version and theatrical version of animation, the joint attack of the three parties, the heat continues unabated, and the popularity in China is also very high. In July this year,In the 894 episode, the TV version of animation appeared as a surprise, and this topic once rushed to the hot search list of Weibo in China, evoking countless memories of fans.

It is not groundless that "Nautical King" has stood for 20 years.

The main line of the plot is not too complicated, that is, it focuses on the adventure of a group of people sailing for treasure, but the world outlook and story background are more grand and broad than Naruto and Realm.

Spread out the navigation map, each island is a world, a journey, in which there are different power camps such as pirates, seven seas and four emperors.

Showing the persistent desire and perseverance for dreams is too stereotyped for comics. "Nautical King" emphasizes the strength of partners, the value of friendship and the value of trust, which is also the main factor that keeps fans from leaving.

Luffy has 10 "Straw Hat Pirates" companions who have been fighting side by side since he was alone. They have their own duties and are indispensable members of "Wan Li Sunshine".

One of the great advantages of Nautical King is its three-dimensional role image.

People who eat the devil’s fruit have super powers, and their bodies can be exaggerated and deformed almost arbitrarily, and the visual effect is very outstanding.

No matter they are decent or villains, their personalities are very rich and distinctive: they fly wildly, but they are as wise as fools; Sauron is loyal, but loves to drink and sleep; Nami is kind at heart, but he is greedy … … In-depth introduction and development of each important person.

Another great advantage of Nautical King is its strong entertainment. On the pirate ship, they laughed and cursed, and humorous bridges appeared from time to time between various hot battle scenes to embellish them.

Every big battle is a real hand-to-hand combat at the end, and the atmosphere is also very tense and serious. Luffy always strikes back at the last moment when he is on the verge of death, which is not only a visual "cool" feeling, but also an emotional appeal caused by the attitude of never giving up.

Weak plot, heavy scene

The new theatrical version once again strengthens these style features.

Compared with "Huang Jincheng", this time it has greatly weakened the plot level, and, like those previously shown in the mainland, it adopts the creative mode of "weakening the plot and strengthening the action".

Festa hosted the Maritime World Expo, and navigators flocked to compete for the mysterious treasure left by Roger, the maritime king. Soon after the story started, it entered the fighting mode: the fighting scenes became more and more fierce, and there were also well-defined layout designs behind them.

The big duel is not a one-on-one fight between Luffy and Barrett, but a joint attack between Luffy and Saab, Smoker, Tranan, the female emperor Hancook, and the sand crocodile. They have both friends and old enemies, but they can unite under Luffy’s leadership.

"One can’t live in the sea!" Luffy’s words finally defeated Barrett’s lonely heart and showed the real strength from "partners".

As a 20th anniversary work, feelings are not absent.

The popular characters in the series of animations, such as Hawkeye and Kprusoian, appeared one by one.Ace also appeared in the form of a phantom, which is the biggest tear in this film.

The action drama and friendship line were played together with the blessing of 20 years of feelings. The box office and word-of-mouth of "Nautical King: Fanatical Action" really gained the "fanaticism" from fans.



However, the carnival and blood brought by 20 years of feelings are only a flash in the pan. Looking back carefully, endless fighting, applause and waves aroused by feelings actually indicate that the series of "Navigation King" is moving towards a model.

It has almost the same problem as its predecessor, Huang Jincheng, that is, giving up the in-depth portrayal of the new role.

Barrett, as Roger’s former sailor, is as interesting as the "Golden Emperor" in Huang Jincheng, but the film’s introduction to their past is only a scratch, and only a few scenes flash back.

Strengthening action scenes and big scenes and sacrificing the space for shaping the characters often leads to the fate of "one-episode tour", which also makes the theatrical version fall into the trap of stagnant story development and insufficient ideological content again.


In the face of Barrett’s ultimate giant gun, Luffy finally used the "Great Ape King Gun", which was actually used before. Even though the fighting drama has been escalating like fighting chicken blood, there has also been such a dilemma of routine and no new ideas in action design.

Feelings become kidnapping?

Comics have been serialized for 22 years, the animated TV version has been broadcast for 20 years, and the theatrical version has taken the 14th film. The Nautical King has already become a special feeling of a generation.

Of the "three romances", only Nautical King continues its journey, but the primary school students who were addicted to Nautical King have grown up. How long can this passion last?

The problem exposed in "Nautical King’s Crazy Action" is also the prisoner’s dilemma of many classic hot-blooded comic films, just like a series of theatrical versions, from "Dragon Ball" to,On the one hand, it attracts non-fan audiences with full-screen fighting scenes and easy-to-understand storylines; On the other hand, the lantern-like sprinkling of feelings makes the film look like a special offer for fans, providing a closed stage for fans to get high.

Therefore, judging from the box office in mainland China, these bloody IP theatrical animations are always maintained at a certain box office volume, and there can be no greater breakthrough.

Looking at the west, Marvel Comics movies have been bombarded by martin scorsese, Coppola and ken loach, director of Cannes Palme d ‘Or. "Marvel Comics movies are not movies, but theme parks", "Marvel Comics is disgusting" and "those movies are like daily necessities and hamburgers". …

Making with the thinking of commodity, ignoring artistic creation and pursuing profit maximization is always the core purpose of adapting live-action movies from Marvel Comics and many cartoons. Looking back at comic books and movies, this critical logic can obviously be established in the theatrical version of Voyager.

There is only one reason why you don’t like Voyager, that is, you haven’t seen Voyager.

Although this Amway sentence from fans has been circulated for many years, this series of cartoons has always had objections:The painting style is not true enough, too rough and exaggerated, the painting methods of female characters are basically the same, and the plot is becoming more and more protracted. …

In terms of comic book sales, even though the total sales volume reached 450 million copies at the beginning of this year and 70 million copies were sold overseas, compared with Naruto in the same period, although the total sales volume was only 250 million copies, its overseas sales volume was fully ahead of Voyager’s 30 million copies.

The international market can’t be further developed. The reason is that western countries still prefer cartoons with oriental culture.

"The latecomers come from the top" is also the current experience of Nautical King. In 2014, the sales volume in the explosive period almost surpassed that of Nautical King. This year’s new show, Blade of the Ghost Extinction, is also in full swing, and the sales volume of comics has soared, which is likely to win the top spot in the comic sales volume of Nautical King for 11 years.

Author Eiichiro Oda admits that the story is drawing to a close and his physical condition is not good. According to him, comics will eventually be serialized in "more than 100 volumes". It is speculated that Nautical King may be finished in five years, and then the theatrical animation will also usher in the final chapter at that time.

The crisis that the theatrical version is bound by business and feelings has gradually emerged, and this adventure journey is coming to an end, which seems to be the best choice for this classic animation at this moment.

The real "frenetic action" will belong to the moment when the curtain falls.


The press conference of the second China SME Investment and Financing Development Forum was held in Beijing.

  The press conference of "The Second China SME Investment and Financing Development Forum" was held in Beijing on July 2nd.

Looking closely at "Made in China" through Shanghai Auto Show, US media: In the field of electric vehicles, China manufacturers play the leading role.

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] "The exhibition halls of dozens of China brand electric vehicles are surrounded by visitors, and the neighboring areas are full of foreign brands of gasoline-powered vehicles, but almost no one takes a look." The New York Times’s report on 20th described a strange phenomenon at the Shanghai Auto Show. As one of the largest auto shows in the world, this year’s Shanghai Auto Show is the first auto show of its kind in China since 2019, attracting more than 1,000 companies to participate. Throughout the world’s major auto shows, local enterprises are the absolute protagonists of the exhibition, and also represent the influence of a country’s auto industry on the world. With China’s car-making industry chain being pushed to the forefront of the world with the new energy revolution, the Shanghai Auto Show is becoming a showcase of "Made in China" in the automobile field. The New York Times reported that this year’s auto show showed a very clear signal: in the field of electric vehicles, manufacturers in China are playing the leading role.

China car companies became the focus at the Shanghai Auto Show. The picture shows the BYD booth displaying the dual-gun overcharge architecture platform. (vision china)

Independent brands are attractive.

The Global Times reporter saw at the auto show that compared with previous domestic auto shows, the self-owned brands participating in this year’s Shanghai Auto Show are more and more attractive, and the product prices are more and more "bold". Almost every company has launched models with prices as high as hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, which has attracted much attention.

BYD brought its high-end brand "Looking Up" to the U8, the first production model, with a pre-sale price of 1.098 million yuan. This new energy vehicle, which focuses on hard-core off-road, is based on two core technological achievements-the power system driven independently by four motors and the intelligent hydraulic body control system. Another brand of BYD Tengshi exhibited the first edition of the medium and large five-seat hunting SUV N7 and Tengshi D9. Weilai ushered in the appearance of the new ES6 and 2023 ET7 at the auto show. The prices of the above models are almost above 300,000 yuan.

Traditional car companies are not weak. Hongqi appeared in two new energy products-Hongqi E202 and Hongqi E001. SAIC exhibited more than 130 new cars from six vehicle manufacturers, of which new energy vehicles accounted for nearly half. Geely brings its krypton series products. Great Wall Motor exhibited new energy vehicles such as Haval Xiaolong MAX, Wei brand Lanshan DHT-PHEV, and tank 500 PHEV, as well as the 6×6 super off-road platform of the Great Wall Gun which can carry a variety of power. Chery brought the first high-end intelligent pure electric car E03 from Starway, and Changan Automobile brought the deep blue S7 and the deep blue SL03.

"Visitors to the Shanghai Auto Show are amazed at the China brand." German "Der Spiegel" magazine said on the 20th that China car companies, which were often laughed at in the past, have already caught up and are moving towards the leading position. China automobile brands participating in the auto show have never been as wide-ranging and high-quality as this year-no matter big companies like BYD, Geely, Great Wall and SAIC, or start-ups like Weilai, beautiful shapes, charming atmosphere and breakthrough technologies can be seen everywhere.

Global Times reporter observed that executives and engineers of multinational car companies also appeared on the booths of China car companies. They are very concerned about the cutting-edge electrification technology exhibited by China car companies. As soon as the reporter entered the 6.1 Hall where China brands gathered, he saw a foreign engineer carefully studying the products of a Chinese lidar company. At the Great Wall Motor booth next to it, the reporter witnessed a number of foreign exhibitors exchanging business cards with booth staff.

China’s electric vehicle industry chain is leading the world.

"Local manufacturers are overtaking German brands in the electric vehicle market in China." Germany’s "Daily" reported on the 20th that at the Shanghai Auto Show, Volkswagen continued to appear as the leader of the world’s largest auto market. However, on the opening day of the auto show on Tuesday, news came that had a far-reaching impact on the industry: in the China market, BYD, a China manufacturer, surpassed the traditional leader Volkswagen in the first quarter. In the opinion of experts, German automotive engineers have become focused on studying the gap size of parts and body adjustment because of their success in the past decades, and are unwilling to take the initiative to meet the changes. But a quarter of all new cars sold in China are electric cars, and this trend is still rising.

At this auto show, Japanese car companies such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan have released new models to attract consumers in China. The Japanese news agency said on the 18th that the popularity of electric vehicles among China car companies is high, while the presence of Japanese car companies, which started late in the field of electric vehicles, is declining, and it is approaching a critical moment.

Japan’s "Daily News" said on the 20th that Japanese car companies are struggling in the field of electric vehicles. In 2022, Toyota sold 10.48 million new cars, ranking first in the world, but only 20,000 electric vehicles were sold. Toyota’s share of electric vehicles in the world is only 0.3%, far inferior to Tesla and BYD. The most worrying thing is that Japanese cars are gradually regarded as "outdated" by China consumers. A 29-year-old office worker in Beijing said, "The durability of Japanese cars is good, but the intelligent service in the car is insufficient." "Daily News" said that Japanese car companies started late in the field of electric vehicles, which also affected the intelligence in the car.

"It turns out that we have always said that China’s auto industry’ wakes up early and gets up late’, but on the new track of electrification, especially intelligent electrification, China enterprises are innovative in the whole industry chain, and their actions are more rapid than those of foreign enterprises." Fu Yuwu, honorary chairman of China Automotive Engineering Society, told the Global Times reporter that overall, the whole industrial chain of electric vehicles in China is in the leading position in the world.

Professor Ferdinand Dudenhoff, director of the German Automobile Research Center (CAR), who is known as the "godfather of automobiles" in Germany, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 20th that the achievements and technologies exhibited by China enterprises at the Shanghai Auto Show were impressive. On the one hand, intelligent cockpit and interconnection, on the other hand, products related to autonomous driving, and then battery technology, the automobile world is changing much faster than some people think. China is playing an increasingly important role in market scale and technology.

Baidu Apollo held an automobile intelligent conference on the eve of Shanghai Auto Show, released a brand-new upgraded product matrix of driving chart, and released "Baidu Intelligent Driving Open White Paper", which opened four key capabilities for automobile enterprises. Also on the eve of the auto show, Tencent demonstrated its technology and product system in the field of "Che Yun Integration" on the technology open day. In terms of battery technology, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited officially released condensed batteries during the auto show. It is understood that the energy density of the battery monomer can reach up to 500Wh/kg, which has the characteristics of high specific energy and high safety, and has mass production capacity within this year. Weilai launched a cooperative product with AR company Nreal to create an immersive cockpit entertainment experience space.

Zhang Xiang, an auto industry analyst in China, told the Global Times reporter that China is leading the global auto development trend, and there are few software in foreign cars, but there is a big market in China, and the software functions of new energy vehicles in China are generally more and richer than those in foreign countries. "In the past, the software of international car companies may be simple functions, but China’s car software can also integrate a variety of maps and entertainment software, which is also the contribution made by China car companies." Zhang Xiang analyzed this way.

Perspective of Industry Trend from Auto Show

The Global Times reporter observed at this auto show that under the blessing of "black technology" in software and hardware, new energy vehicles are showing stronger and stronger product strength and larger market space. Through this auto show, how do people from all walks of life view the future development trend of the new energy industry?

BYD said in its reply to the Global Times reporter that the first is that the market size of the industry will continue to expand. In the past three years, China New Energy Bus Station has achieved a spurt growth in the "double carbon" outlet, with an average penetration rate of 30% in the first quarter of this year, from 5% in 2020 to 15% in the previous year, and then to 26% last year, with a monthly penetration rate of 35% in March. The second is intelligent networking. In the future, new energy vehicles will be more intelligent and networked, and the combination of vehicles with emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence will bring more efficient, safer and smarter driving experience to human beings. The third is diversified development.
