1905 movie network feature The Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, and the Spring Festival videos are doing their best to "roll" up.

The audience tried their best to sort out the plot points of each movie in various video materials, and also explore the possibility of the actors this time in the short video. The change of efforts, the portrayal of deaf and mute people, the interpretation of characters… Every effective discussion made them become frequent visitors on the hot search list.

And their confidence comes from the works. Because of the support of the works, they were seen by these directors.

Just like at the press conference, he got the annual hot word "Biao" and frankly said, "Thank you for this word’Biao ‘, so that the director can see his progress." Although it was not specified, everyone naturally understood that it was referring to the role of sister-in-law in China.

This made the director see that the assistant director, who had been a cameo nurse on the crew, had already transformed into an excellent actress recognized by the public.

In addition to Takaba, the actors in "Hurricane" have also become actors in "Article 20".

Previously, many people have mentioned in interviews that director Zhang Yimou has a high reading volume, and even if he is busy with work, he will set aside time to watch films.

If "Hurricane" allows Zhang Yimou to see Gao Ye, Wang Xiao, and others, then there is reason to believe that in 2023, another word-of-mouth masterpiece will also allow the director to find many partners in it.

– That’s the show.

The old partner doesn’t need to say much, and the actors in the series, such as,, and so on, are also pleasantly surprised to appear in "Article 20".

In addition to the drama series, the acting skills in last year’s popular movies are obvious to all, and joining "Article 20" this time is also highly anticipated.

In addition to excellent dramas and movies, Zhang Yimou seems to have paid a lot of attention to variety shows.

Following the use of the "Annual Comedy Convention" of Zhang Chi, he this time in the comedy movie "Article 20", chose "Annual Comedy Convention" and.

Perhaps Zhang Yimou’s choice of Liu Yaowen was also due to a certain bright spot in his "Infinite Transcendence Class" at the beginning of last year.

In addition to these actors, Zhao Liying’s participation is even more eye-catching. Looking back at 2022-2023, she experimented with realistic-themed works – and two episodes of "Wind Blows Half Summer", both of which allowed audiences to see her transformation as an actor and the thickness of her performances.

It is worth noting that the original work of "Happiness to Wanjia", "The Legend of Qiu Ju", has been adapted into a movie before. This relationship also adds a layer of connection between director Zhang Yimou and actor Zhao Liying. From the current trailer, Zhao Liying plays Hao Xiuping, which is quite resilient of Qiu Ju back then.

In addition to Zhang Yimou’s "Article 20", the creators of other films also share this fate.

In China, this is already the second collaboration with the director. As early as before, Fan Chengcheng has shown his comic talent in the film produced and directed by Han Han. I believe this collaboration will give the two a chance to play two games.

In fact, Fan Chengcheng’s role in "Unfamiliar with Life" was recommended by the director. At that time, the two were working together, and the director Yi Xiaoxing was the producer of the film. When talking about the lack of a suitable candidate for the male lead of his project, Ma Kai immediately recommended this new generation actor to him. With these consecutive good collaborations, more projects will naturally follow.

Before working together, they always have their works as the cornerstone, step by step, without using traffic to define value, because the works have already become the most powerful echo. Perhaps in the future, we will continue to see more similar actors being discovered, whether it is the small screen or the big screen, they are shining brightly and deserve better treatment.

Young directors and big names have joined, and such cooperation models have appeared more and more frequently in the domestic film market in recent years. Zhang Ziyi’s first film as a producer and starring, with Fan Bingbing, Su Zhixie, He Rundong, Lin Xinru, and Yao Chen starring in it. The second feature film of Yimeng, a director studying in the United States, is destined to set off a boom this summer.

Zhang Ziyi

From the perspective of the heroine Sophie, it is simply a process of "losing love, striving for love, and regaining love." A series of small tricks, tricks, and surprises derived from "love" occur in the middle. Finally, it conforms to the label of "urban fashion romantic comedy", and the lovers finally get married. Such a story may be suitable for a summer that needs a touch of coolness in a heat wave, for urbanites who are busy all day, and for people who have a vision of sweet love, but it is still the old saying – benevolent people see benevolence and wise people see wisdom. There is a market, and everyone gets what they need.

Although, as far as the whole movie is concerned, the demand for acting is not so harsh or extreme. But just seeing these actors with enough weight and hot topics appear on the big screen at the same time, it is already worthy of the name of "urban fashion romantic comedy".

Supporting actors with leading roles

Looking at the whole movie, under the light of Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing, the aura of the other stars was relatively discounted a lot. Observing one by one, one of Sophie’s girlfriends, Lu Xiaoxi played by Lin Xinru, has capable short hair, smoky makeup, and black main suits. The overall shape is good enough, but apart from the shape, there are not many memory points. Sophie’s second best friend, Li Li played by Yao Chen, has curly hair sheep head, and blingbling gold and silver jewelry all over her body. The big-mouthed beautiful woman’s comedy talent is still unstoppable, and because there are not many scenes, the place where she can stand out is relatively limited. However, "YOU seduce my husband!" This line is believed to be popular for a short time. Then, Mr. Right, who wrote a happy ending with Sophie, and Chang Rui, played by He Rundong, gave the character the words "no merit". There are no distinctive characters, and He Rundong’s tall and healthy appearance, sunny and handsome face, and natural and friendly performance are used just right. However, if you replace it with someone else, I believe it will not make much difference. In the end, Sophie’s ex-boyfriend, Lee Jiefu, who was originally thought to be the most central and interesting, recruited Su Zhixie, who is absolutely guaranteed to be popular in Korea, to play. However, the result makes people feel a little regretful that he is "overqualified". In the movie, Mr. Su took a foil route. The two beautiful women were just competing for the goal, and he always felt that there was a little less personality and a little less independent advocacy. The innocence, confusion and helplessness in the eyes that the plot needs are revealed from time to time. Or it should be said that in the background of big-name women’s plays, it is enough for men to play in moderation.

He Rundong

The two major characters that made their debut

As two major domestic A-list actresses, Zhang Ziyi and Fan Bingbing’s show on the same stage is definitely one of the biggest attractions. In the movie, the two characters are also in tit-for-tat positions, Li Jiefu’s ex-girlfriend – comic book collection Sophie and current girlfriend – big star Wang Jingjing. One is in the process of "revenge" to regain his old love, and the other is in a big confrontation to defend his new love’s acting skills. The cartoonist’s fanciful moves are against the big stars’ acting skills that are still proficient in life, and it was thought that this was the main axis of the narrative. In fact, compared to Zhang Ziyi’s most important appearance, Fan Bingbing can perform in relatively few places.

Fan Bingbing

I’m used to seeing Zhang Ziyi in all kinds of big productions. The first time I saw her in a "non-blockbuster" or a comedy, I was really not used to it when I first started watching it. Due to the needs of the plot, the exaggerated performance method and the innocent and romantic expression that seemed to be a little beyond age finally stopped feeling discordant in the middle of the movie. Little clever, little bad, little evil, little confused, all the characters need are fully displayed and not annoying, which is not bad. At the same time, the plot comic-style narrative, the prominent details and color matching in the scene, and the full transformation of the clothing add a lot of points to the three-dimensional shaping of the whole character, or these are the essential elements of the so-called urban fashion drama.

In the end, Fan Bingbing was mentioned because this character, who seemed to be the protagonist but did not have too many roles, but who felt like nothing more than Fan Bingbing, was well-interpreted. As far as the character itself was concerned, Fan Bingbing could definitely perform with ease at her current level, and just the aura and aura of a big star were already natural to her. Under the premise of the plot and the needs of the character, it also required skills to show one’s beauty to the greatest extent, and she did it. Especially in the rock climbing arena, she watched Sophie with tears in her eyes and duplicity, saying, "Play acting with me, can you?" The scene was particularly classic. In addition, due to the needs of the play within the play, a series of shapes from ancient times to the present appear distinct under the interpretation of Fan Bingbing, which also makes the picture feel rich and layered again. Although the way of handling the ending is a little stiff, there is no reasonable plot overkill to reflect Wang Jingjing’s inner transformation. Maybe the director doesn’t think there is such a need, it’s just wishful thinking of me as a viewer.

The movie has not been released in the whole country, and the topics are already numerous. Some people say that the movie is not bad, it is worth watching; some people say that only the big names have no content, and it is not worth wasting money; some people say that this is a brand new attempt in Chinese film; some people say that this movie has seen too many shadows of movies, just like Korean idol movies… In this circle, the more topics, the easier it is to attract attention. Whether you love it or not, if you just want to find something to make yourself happy in the hot summer, if you don’t care so much about the imperfections under the perfect, then this movie ticket should still be considered, if you still have some money in your pocket.

The workers’ congress had just come to an end, and the Spring Festival group meeting had a grand debut. This week, Wahaha had a "very fulfilling" life.

From January 29th to 30th, Wahaha Group held a staff congress and a meeting of factory directors in Hangzhou. Zong Fuli led the meeting and made plans and arrangements for the development direction of Wahaha in the new year, and settled the first "major event" after the opening year a year ago. On the eve of the Lunar New Year on February 2nd, Wahaha held a Spring Festival youth workers group meeting in Xiasha Base in Hangzhou, which was still hosted by Zong Fuli. The Wahaha New Year’s Eve dinner was lively.

It’s not a good idea.The highlights of the "Wahaha Spring Festival Gala" continue, and the New Year’s "jackpot" is presented.

Early in the morning, the "Junjie Hotel" located in Wahaha Xiasha Base was full of New Year’s flavor, with 145 tables filled with drinks, fruits, nuts and cold cuts. More than a thousand young workers entered the venue one after another, their faces full of excitement and expectation. There were also paper cuts with the word "Fu", red lanterns hung high up, and mascots for the Year of the Dragon… The atmosphere was thick and lively.

Since 1987, the tradition of annual reunion banquets has gradually formed a unique cultural symbol of Wahaha. Every year, on the eve of the Spring Festival, Wahaha invites young workers in Hangzhou to have a New Year’s Eve dinner, which includes sumptuous delicacies, evening performances, and red envelope awards.

This year was the same, the party had set up multiple rounds of on-site lottery, large supermarket cards, electric vehicles, tablet computers, glory mobile phones… The company prepared generous prizes, including the sunshine-drenched prize for everyone – New Year’s gift package and lottery tickets, to give employees the "jackpot" of the new year.

It is worth mentioning that the on-site singing and dancing, folk music, recitation and other programs were written, directed and performed by the Wahaha Art Troupe and Wahaha employees at various positions. They also combined annual events such as sponsoring the Asian Games and the corporate culture of striving for progress. It brought a fun and exciting audio-visual experience to the young workers of Wahaha. The applause and laughter from the audience continued, making it a luxurious "Wahaha Spring Festival Gala".

It’s not a good idea.37 years of uninterrupted care, allowing employees to feel the warmth of home

Focusing on employee care has always been a major feature of Wahaha. During its 37 years of development, Wahaha has pursued a corporate culture of "uniting the small family, developing everyone, and serving the country", and has always placed the happy life of its employees in an important position. Wahaha has also been called a "conscience enterprise" and "other people’s company" many times because of its good welfare benefits.

The first is to insist on giving employees annual bonuses every year, so that employees can enjoy the fruits of enterprise development most intuitively, and at the same time insist on holding Wahaha New Year’s Eve dinner every year to celebrate the Spring Festival with employees. Sending red envelopes and drawing gifts is the "highlight" that has never been absent every year.

Secondly, for young employees, housing has always been the "top priority" in their life development. Wahaha regards solving the housing problem of employees as an important task, providing employees with free dormitories covering all bases across the country, free of water and electricity; implementing a stepped housing project covering all employees to solve the problem of employees settling down. So far, more than 1,000 employee apartments have been built in Jiaxing Haining, Sichuan Chengdu, Tianjin, Chongqing and other places, more than 1,500 apartments have been allocated for married backbone employees, 640 low-rent housing units have been provided for employees, and more than 50 million housing purchase subsidies have been provided, solving the worries of employees.

In addition, there are "irregular drop" mid-year bonuses, holiday condolences, festival fees, colorful "staff homes" and "cultural clubs", etc…. Taking care of the diverse and personalized material and spiritual needs of employees greatly enhances the sense of belonging of employees, and motivates every Wahaha employee to "twist a rope" and strive forward.

If the enterprise develops well, employees can naturally develop well. Wahaha is verifying this sentence with practical actions. For 37 years, Wahaha has adhered to honest management, actively fulfilled social responsibility, ensured product safety and health, cooperated with suppliers and distributors for win-win results, and allowed employees to share the fruits of enterprise development. It has achieved integrity from society, partners, to consumers, and won brand reputation.

In recent years, Wahaha has also accumulated a deep leap in kinetic energy and a stable "thin hair" through management system reform, implementation of five major strategic innovations, and intelligent manufacturing. In 2023, Wahaha continued to maintain stable development, not only helped the Asian Games to be successfully held, but also achieved the Asian Games IP marketing breaking circle. It also won the "Zhejiang Provincial People’s Government Quality Award". Wenzhou Wencheng Intelligent Factory was also awarded the Zhejiang Provincial "Factory of the Future". Management, marketing, quality construction, and back-end intelligent manufacturing are all working together… This leading enterprise in the food and beverage industry, how will it open up its own new journey in the future, deserves more expectations.

Hu Ge is a first-rate TV actor and a second-rate movie actor.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s coffee or acting.

From "The Legend of Immortals and Swords" to "Langya Ranking" to "Flowering Flowers", Hu Ge has had a hit drama at every stage of his acting career.

But compared with TV dramas, Hu Ge starred in fewer movies, and even fewer masterpieces were produced.

So far, the best film of Hu Ge’s career is probably "The Wild Goose Lake" directed by Diao Yinan.

Recently, he starred in the theater film "Stop and Go" was released, and I thought that this movie starring Hu Ge could be ranked second.

Compared to "The Wild Goose Lake", there is no way, and there is a gap in grades between directors. But compared to "It’s Worth It", which won the Best Actor of the Shanghai Film Festival for Hu Ge before, "Stop and Go" has similarities in genre and theme, but the overall is much better.

More importantly, "The Wild Goose Lake" is more significant to Diao Yinan than Hu Ge, and Hu Ge’s performance in it can be regarded as futile at best, but "Stop and Go" has opened up a new track for Hu Ge.

Let’s talk about the movie itself first.

"Stop and Go" is a very "small" movie.

It had nothing to do with grandeur. It was about the little things that happened to the little people, and the director didn’t have much ambition. He didn’t want his movie to be linked to the big word "era".

The key word for the film is two words, go home. To put it more bluntly, it is the other two words, lie flat.

Wu Di, the protagonist played by Hu Ge, belongs to the North Drift Return crowd.

He worked as a screenwriter in Beijing, but he repeatedly hit a wall, and eventually failed in his emotional career and couldn’t get along, so he returned to his hometown of Sichuan.

In crime movies, this kind of person is most likely to have a big vote, but in literary movies, the trash will of course continue to live in a way that is heartbroken but free on the surface.

After Wu Di returned to his hometown, he immediately entered a state of mixed eating and waiting to die. A scene that reflects his state is that he is mixed in a group of the elderly queuing up to get eggs.

This scene also formed a connection with the main storyline, Gao Yuanyuan played the heroine Feng Liuliu appeared, as the host of the TV station, she was shooting this group of eggs for the elderly, but accidentally found high school classmate Wu Di mixed in.

Therefore, she came up with an idea to make a documentary with Wu Di as the protagonist.

Feng Liuliu’s behavior of shooting whatever he wants is very inconsistent with the tonality of local TV stations. The local stations in our impression, in addition to broadcasting painless advertisements and selling drugs for the elderly, will at most provide local leaders with a platform to show their self-charm. A host casually catches an old classmate and wants to shoot a documentary. This is nonsense among nonsense.

But nonsense is nonsense, the scene where Wu Di and Feng Liuliu met for the first time was really good.

Fortunately, the description of the characters.

The highlight is in the conversation between the two.

Wu Di met Feng Liuliu and was a little embarrassed, saying that he was "Gap". This reaction was very accurate. He bluntly said that he was unemployed and went home. Although he was honest, he was too sad, which would make the temperament of the film dim all of a sudden. He pretended to say that he actually had a job and just went home for vacation, and it was too hypocritical, which made the character unpleasant. He said that he was in "Gap", which was in line with the characteristics of the character as a literary youth.

Feng Liuliu is the character of an idealist in the film, and her ideas are relatively simple, which is also in line with the appearance of the actor. After all, if she grows into Gao Yuanyuan, she will not be beaten too much in reality. The characteristics of idealists are that they are easy to fake and empty, like to talk useless big words, and are especially willing to pretend to be very realistic. When she met Wu Di, she wanted to make a documentary, and she also said this sentence:

Middle-aged people like you often face a double burden.

Note that it’s not just middle-aged male characters who have fatherhood.

Wu Di’s reaction was very good. He didn’t think he was a middle-aged man, so he was stunned. He repeated the words "middle-aged man", but it became a question.

You look at Wu Di as if he should have eaten and slept when he returned home, but in fact, he didn’t. At this moment, he was stunned and exposed everything. Wu Di was just running away from his failure like a child.

Feng Liuliu took it well, saying that you are two months older than me, why are you not middle-aged?

Wu Di took it better. He didn’t follow the topic and turned a corner. What he said was:

You still remember my birthday.

The oppressive atmosphere caused by Feng Liuliu not speaking human words was instantly reversed, and Wu Di’s personality characteristics were once again highlighted. More importantly, the relationship between the two people was brought closer by this line.

In the film, Feng Liuliu may not really take Wu Di’s birthday seriously. Wu Di is very surprised. It is probably a reaction at that time. It does not mean that he will rekindle love because of this information point, but in the eyes of the audience, they will naturally look forward to something happening between them.

This made the movie look good. Many viewers would subconsciously shy away from literary films because some directors of literary films were too boring to film. Whether or not the artistry was put aside for the time being, and the audience could not see it, it would be difficult to find your artistic exploration and ideological expression.

The advantages and disadvantages of "Stop and Go" are symbiotic. His advantages are that the details are handled humanely, the characters are fresh enough, the lines are well written, and the rhythm is properly arranged. The disadvantage is that the living environment provided to the protagonist Wu Di in the film is a purified ideal world, as if as long as he returns home, everything will really be quiet, and even the opportunity to realize his ideal will appear.

Feng Liuliu made a documentary for Wu Di, saw the script written by Wu Di, and suggested that he make a movie. As a result, Wu Di really started filming.

This matter is no longer science fiction, and can basically be included in the category of magic.

Wu Di, who failed in Beipiao, should understand what the three words of making a movie mean. Don’t look at the Apple advertisement saying that you need a mobile phone to make a movie. Although Xu Lei used his father to make "Sherlock on the Plain", it also cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Of course, Wu Di had no money, so Wu Di’s mother gave Wu Di his father’s private money, but it was not much, 10,000 yuan.

What if there are no actors? His mother, Jiang Meiling, is the female lead, and the male lead? Call Lao Li, the pillar of the drama troupe. Lao Li also cooperated very much, and he was so idle that he agreed immediately.

Wu Di could be both a director and a screenwriter, so where could he find a photographer? Feng Liuliu didn’t want to make a documentary, but the TV station had a photographer. Coincidentally, this photographer liked Ozu as much as Wu Di, and also had the dream of making movies, so he was willing to volunteer labor, so he didn’t have to worry about the equipment, so he just appropriated it.

All the idealists in Sichuan surrounded Wu Di.

It has to be said that when these "golden fingers" accumulate to a certain extent, the reality of the film has been stripped away. In a sense, it is no different from a martial arts film. The difference is that martial arts may really exist, but the vacuum environment Wu Di is in is absolutely impossible to exist.

But what’s great about "Stop and Go" is that it held me back with characters and details.

I knew that the movie was a nonsense, but I was still attracted by it. I knew that there wasn’t much left in the movie’s reality, but I was still moved by the characters in the movie.

This is a very contradictory point, but it also reflects a certain dilemma faced by domestic film creators. Some of them are really good at making movies, especially writing single scenes, and know how to impress audiences, but the subject matter they have to deal with is likely to be either as distorted as air or as tasteless as water.

The scenes in the main plot of "Stop and Go" were shot with a high degree of completion, vividly portraying the Wu Di family and Lao Li and other characters, completing each single scene with great fun, and also making the emotional concentration become higher and higher in the development of the film’s plot. Finally, Wu Di’s father made up the shots for his deceased wife, which reached the peak of the moving level.

As far as the temperament of the film is concerned, there is a bit of Woody Allen’s taste. The director not only pays tribute to Woody Allen with the name of the male lead and the poster on the wall, but also has a touch of humor and sadness.

What really made me like the movie more than disappointed was the director’s handling of the ending.

If something really happened to Wu Di and Feng Liuliu in the film, then the film would be completely deflated. The director is very smart, and at the end of the film, Wu Di took over his sister’s class and became a taxi driver. The driving encountered congestion, and as a result, he met Feng Liuliu’s family who had been reunited with his ex-husband. Two lanes, two people and two cars stopped and stopped, the cars did not intersect, and there was no conversation. Everything was just right, with a little regret, but isn’t life like this?

This ending is ingenious enough, designed and natural. It is the point of the full score composition, but it is not so contrived, which is in line with the overall life flow of the film.

The director will arrange for Wu Di to become a taxi driver at the end, indicating that he knows what reality is like, and that he can make Wu Di and the others’ filming process interesting, indicating that he knows what life is like, but unfortunately, he still failed to find the perfect balance between realism and literary temperament. Inevitably, there will be distortion, but since the completion is high enough, many audiences, including me, can tolerate its shortcomings.

In other words, this is indeed a movie with a good sentence but no good chapter, but compared to many domestic films that don’t even have a good sentence, it is already a general among the shorts.

For Hu Ge, the significance of this film is that it allows Hu Ge to meet a particularly suitable role for him, that is, a dejected Wenqing boy with a bit of optimism.

In addition, although it is a bit far-fetched to classify "Stop and Go" as a comedy, if Hu Ge can use this film to realize that he can do comedy, and other directors can also see Hu Ge’s potential in comedy films, it will open up a few new possibilities for Hu Ge’s acting career.

　　The homogeneity of goods is serious, and the quality is also criticized by consumers

　　The ten dollar store standing at the crossroads

　　"I love going to the ten-dollar store because I know I can afford everything in it," Xiaolin told reporters. But recently, she found that in the ten-dollar store she frequented, there were fewer and fewer real 10-yuan items, and earphones that used to cost only 15 yuan had risen to nearly 50 yuan.

　　In the past two years, grocery stores represented by "Mingchuang Premium Products" have blossomed everywhere. Some small goods such as headgear and tableware have been delicately packaged and placed in bright stores. Most of them sell for less than 10 yuan, which is very popular with consumers. However, recently, reporters visited a number of small commodity stores and found that the proportion of goods within 10 yuan has dropped significantly, and 100 yuan goods have gradually entered the room. Some products are not only seriously homogenized, but also criticized by consumers. Some stores also rely on "fake discounts" to attract consumers.

　　Experts say that today’s consumer demand is changing very fast, and the ten yuan store is also standing at a crossroads, and the goods are being upgraded and graded rapidly. In such a market, it is difficult for the ten yuan store to maintain the goods at a certain price for a long time. The operators of the ten yuan store also use 10 yuan goods to attract customers, and use higher-priced goods to profit.

　　Mingchuang Premium: less than one-third of the 10 yuan product

　　Last Tuesday evening, the reporter visited the Mingchuang Premium Store on the first floor of Yuedu Hui Shopping Mall in Xicheng District. The store has a wide range of kitchen and bathroom utensils, small household items, electronic products, and other products, and the sales prices are also uneven. Most small daily necessities are 10 yuan, the price of toys ranges from 25 yuan to 50 yuan, and the price of electronic products is basically more than 30 yuan.

　　Mr. Zhu picked out a power bank priced at 89.9 yuan and was ready to go to the checkout page to check out. When queuing up, he opened the mobile phone shopping software and found that it was also a 10,000 mAh power bank, and the price of the Xiaomi brand power bank was only 79 yuan. Mr. Zhu, who quit the checkout line, put the power bank back on the shelf. "Xiaomi specializes in mobile phones and accessories. The quality should be more reliable than Mingchuang Youpin, but the price is cheaper than here."

　　Among electronic products, there is a small aromatherapy humidifier of 99 yuan that is very attractive. The machine is in the shape of a vase, and the bottle mouth emits light smoke. The bottle is equipped with a light, and the light will change to different colors. Then the reporter searched on Taobao and found that the price of an air humidifier of the same specification is between 50 yuan and 100 yuan. Customer Xiaomei told reporters that this aromatherapy humidifier looks similar to a certain humidifier of Muji, but it is cheaper, so it has attracted many people’s attention. But after buying it back, he found that the amount of fog is very small. In less than a few months, not only the light is not on, but also the spray is not sprayed.

　　Since its establishment in 2013, Miniso has entered large and small shopping malls, many of which are in prime locations. Open the map and the reporter can find nine branches of Miniso within a five-kilometer radius. Recently, according to several media reports, Miniso is planning an initial public offering, raising about 1 billion US dollars. As the business expands rapidly, many consumers say that Miniso, which originally attracted people with "10 yuan high-quality life", is now more and more expensive. The product with the most concentrated complaints is the mobile phone data cable. Several customers said, "The Apple mobile phone data cable that used to be only 15 yuan has now risen to 49.9 yuan, or even more expensive." The reporter found in the store that, as consumers said, the data cable was priced at 49.9 yuan and 59.9 yuan. Subsequently, the reporter randomly selected 50 products in the Mingchuang Premium Store, only 17 of which were priced at 10 yuan or less. These low-priced products were concentrated in the categories of daily chemical products and small household accessories.

　　Nomi Home Furnishing: I see the discount label but not the price discount.

　　Zhang Xiaoyang (a pseudonym), who often visits Nomi Home Furnishings, has been a little confused recently: the store is clearly full of yellow labels with "50% off for two pieces and 40% off for three pieces", and the store’s radio is also broadcasting "End-of-season clearance, some products are discounted". Zhang Xiaoyang specially asked the clerk which discounts were on, and the clerk waved his hand and said that the ones with the yellow labels were all discounted. So Zhang Xiaoyang happily picked up the discounted labels on the shelf, and in order to collect the 40% off quantity, she specially picked three pieces. "Because I am very familiar with this store, I always feel that the price is wrong when I walk out of the store, because the cashier didn’t give me a receipt at the time, so I went back to ask for it. After seeing it, I realized that I didn’t give me a penny discount." The checkout page explained that the labels on the shelves were for the promotion of the store, and it did not mean that the items below the labels would be discounted. "I feel like I’m being cheated. If the store didn’t put discounted labels on it, I would definitely not buy so many pieces."

　　At noon on weekdays last week, the reporter visited Nomi Home Furnishing, which Zhang Xiaoyang described on Qianmen Street. The store is simple and large, and it sells mostly women’s and children’s products. When the reporter asked whether the labeled goods were all discounted, the clerk replied: "Not necessarily."

　　Most of the stationery, snacks, tableware and other items sold by Nomi Home Furnishing cost 10 yuan or less, while many other categories, such as aromatherapy machines, speakers, power banks, etc., cost around 100 yuan. Ms. Wu, who was shopping with a full shopping basket, told reporters that what attracted her to the store was that the prices of many small goods were relatively close to the people, and there would be discount activities. "But not all goods are discounted, and the prices of many goods are indeed not cheap. Sometimes when you have a good time shopping, you will buy some expensive goods." Ms. Wu dug out a 239 yuan dress in the shopping basket and told reporters.

　　In the ten yuan store, there are a lot of "hundred yuan goods"

　　With the improvement of citizens’ consumption level, more and more well-packaged small commodity stores have opened into the mall. From sewing boxes, screwdrivers, rubber bands to earphones, speakers, humidifiers, the price of goods can range from a few yuan to 100 yuan. When the reporter visited, he found that many goods in the "ten yuan store" that are really priced within 10 yuan are concentrated in stationery, tableware, snacks and other categories. And other types of goods in the store are not cheap.

　　Unlike the aforementioned small commodity stores, which attract people with low prices and discounts, in the Jiumu grocery store, which is also blooming in major shopping malls, many products are more than 100 yuan, and only a few products are around 10 yuan. However, the chic design of the products still makes customers here crowded. The reporter found that the same size canvas bag is priced at about 40 yuan in the aforementioned grocery stores. The highest price here can be sold for 99 yuan. The price of children’s toys is mostly around 150 yuan. The price of various small accessories is also around 30 yuan. The goods under 10 yuan in the store are concentrated in the category of stationery, which accounts for a very small proportion. A mother and daughter were attracted by a pile of metal brooches, but when they saw the price of 35 yuan, they immediately called it "too expensive". A group of young people picked up the dinosaur gloves on the shelf and played with each other for a while, then finally dropped the gloves and left.

　　Founded in 2015, Ximei Eslite’s store design is very similar to that of Mingchuang Youpin: a white door face and a store logo with white characters on a red background. Last Friday afternoon, the reporter visited Ximei Eslite, which is located on the first floor of Soxiu City, Chongwenmen Street. At this time, there were more than a dozen customers in the store, all of whom were young women. The reporter randomly selected 30 items in the store, 12 of which were 10 yuan or less.

　　The ** (The Green Party) located in Guorui Shopping Center is located between the famous brand counters in the mall. According to the rough statistics of the reporter, only about 30% of the 10 yuan goods in the store.

　　Expert Reviews

　　Consumer demand changes rapidly, and it is difficult for ten yuan stores to maintain average prices

　　Why are there not many "ten yuan goods" in the ten yuan store? Yang Qingsong, secretary general of the China General merchandise Business Association, told the Beijing Evening News that this is related to the consumer market. "In the period of very fast economic development, it is difficult for small commodity stores to maintain most goods at a certain price and remain unchanged for a year or two."

　　Yang Qingsong said that according to the law, average price stores can actually achieve relatively large development when the commodity economy is relatively stable. Because at such a stage, market consumption is very stable, the price, variety and quality of consumer goods are in a state of balance, and the profit of average price stores can be relatively flat. However, in the stage of rapid economic development and large changes, there is no market for average price stores. "The momentum of Mingchuang Youpin was very strong in the first two years, but now consumer demand changes very quickly, and commodities are constantly being upgraded. In such a market environment, it is difficult to have the soil of average price. In order to attract consumers, Mingchuang Premium and similar small commodity stores need to constantly adjust and upgrade, and make changes in categories, and prices will also show diversity. "

　　As for the number of "100-yuan goods" popping up in the 10-yuan store, Yang Qingsong said that the general retailer’s strategy will distinguish between goods with passenger flow and goods with gross profit. For some goods, consumers are very sensitive to its price, and retailers will make enough low prices to attract consumers. For other goods, consumers are relatively less sensitive to its price, and rarely pay attention to how much more expensive this one is than that one, so such goods can be profitable.

　　● Although smart TVs have increased the range of options for watching programs, there are many problems that have been criticized in the use process. From on-off advertisements to membership nesting doll-style charges, from inconvenient use, unfriendly to the elderly to after-sales services that cannot really solve the problem, a series of "routines" of smart TVs need to be improved urgently

　　● The situation of paid viewing of Internet Protocol Television is very common, and some consumers are also willing to pay for watching their favorite TV programs. However, on issues such as how many dramas members can watch and the cost of membership opening, merchants should make clear prompts before purchasing, so that consumers can choose the corresponding service according to their own needs when purchasing, otherwise it is suspected of infringing consumers’ right to know

　　In order to solve the problems in the use of smart TVs, we should play the role of the market, advocate businesses and advertising business entities to pursue profits while assuming social responsibility, actively carry out internal compliance management system construction, consciously reduce or even eliminate some unreasonable and illegal phenomenon　　

　　"Why is it so troublesome to watch TV!"

　　Zhang Bingcheng, who lives in Langfang, Hebei province, complained from the moment he turned on his son’s new year gift – an oversized LCD smart TV – during the lunar new year holiday.

　　"It’s mandatory to watch advertisements when you turn it on, and you can’t skip it. The various icons on the homepage make people don’t know how to operate. It’s hard to click on a TV series, and you have to open a membership to watch the whole episode. In addition to the members of the TV itself, there are also various App members. If you want to watch satellite TV programs, you have to buy a set-top box to open a digital channel. Why is it so laborious to watch TV on a TV?"

　　In recent years, from cable to digital to the Internet, TV technology has developed rapidly. Today’s smart TVs have greatly increased the range of options for watching programs after being connected to the Internet. However, a recent investigation by a reporter from the "Rule of Law Daily" found that there are many problems that have been criticized in the use of smart TVs. From on-off advertisements to membership nesting fees, from inconvenient use, unfriendly to the elderly to after-sales services that cannot really solve the problem, a series of "routines" of smart TVs need to be improved urgently.

　　Boot and cut screen advertisements continue

　　If you want to watch the show, the matryoshka will be charged.

　　"Every time you turn on the TV, you have to watch an advertisement, and when you turn it off, you have to watch it again. Sometimes you have to watch an advertisement for a program on demand. I originally wanted to watch TV, but I was’hit head-on ‘by a long commercial advertisement." Ding Lei, of Wuxi, Jiangsu, told reporters that his smart TV would have a 30-second boot advertisement every time it was turned on, and every time he switched channels, similar advertisements such as "Watching TV members, limited time × × yuan a year" would automatically pop up, which made him very disgusted.

　　According to the "2021 Smart TV Switch Advertising Research Report" released by People’s Daily Online Finance and Economics Research Institute, more than 89.9% of respondents said that the smart TV in their homes contains switch-on advertisements, 86.09% of manufacturers do not set a "one-click cancel or close button" for switch-on advertisements, and 72.73% of respondents said "can’t bear it for a second".

　　It is worth noting that in 2020, the China Electronic Video Industry Association established the group standard "Smart TV Boot Advertising Service Specifications", which stipulates that "the total duration of boot advertising should not exceed 30 seconds, and the recommended advertising duration of this specification should be within 15 seconds." The Advertising Law stipulates that the use of the Internet to publish and send advertisements shall not affect users’ normal use of the Internet. Advertisements published in the form of pop-ups on Internet pages should be clearly marked with a shutdown sign to ensure one-click shutdown.

　　Although there are regulations for a long time, the reporter found in the investigation that smart TV advertising violations are still very common. Many smart TV advertisements are not only longer than 30 seconds, but also do not provide a shutdown sign in a prominent position, or even skip or close signs at all.

　　In addition to the advertising issue, many respondents said that the charging rules of smart TVs are a headache, "after spending money to buy a TV, you have to pay for it layer by layer".

　　Liang Jing, from Suzhou, Anhui Province, said in an interview that she now regrets buying a smart TV.

　　"At that time, the promotion was 4K ultra-high definition image quality and high fidelity sound system. Owning it was equivalent to having a home theater, and only when you bought it did you find that you need a member to watch almost everything." In the opening member interface displayed by Liang Jing, the reporter saw that the membership package that comes with the smart TV is 288 yuan per year, while the package season costs 148 yuan. The TV membership does not include other column members. If you want to watch the children’s channel, you need to open a children’s channel membership, which is 9.9 yuan for the first month of a continuous monthly subscription. The learning channel needs to open an annual card of 298 yuan. Variety, education, sports, and major program types want to watch.

　　The reporter calculated and found that if all the members of the smart TV itself are opened, the annual cost will exceed 1,000 yuan. In addition, if you want to watch programs on the TV through the online video platform, many content must be opened as a member of the online video platform to watch normally, and the member can only use it on the TV side, and it is not interoperable with the mobile phone side. For example, a platform gold member can use it on the three major platforms of mobile phones, tablets and computers. The annual card is 258 yuan, while the diamond member only has one more TV side. The annual card is 448 yuan, which is nearly double the price.

　　"Just like matryoshka dolls, there are small members in the big members, and there are special members when you buy small members. The rules for setting fees are to guide you to choose consecutive monthly subscriptions or direct annual subscriptions, otherwise it is not cost-effective. What’s more annoying is that once I opened a children’s channel for my child for one month, the operator automatically renewed the fee for the next month, and did not remind me in advance." Liang Jing complained.

　　On February 1, the reporter went to Binjiang Road Commercial Street, Heping District, Tianjin and consulted the sales staff of a number of smart TV stores as a consumer. The reporter noticed that the sales staff rarely mentioned the above topics if they did not take the initiative to ask whether there are boot advertisements, whether they need to open a membership to watch the program normally, and whether they charge and what the charging standard is.

　　Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of the Consumer Rights Protection Law Research Association of the China Law Society, believes that the current situation of paid viewing of smart TVs and Internet Protocol Television is very common, and some consumers are also willing to pay for watching their favorite TV programs. However, on issues such as how many dramas members can watch and the cost of membership opening, merchants should make clear prompts before purchasing, so that consumers can choose the corresponding service according to their own needs when purchasing, otherwise it is suspected of infringing consumers’ right to know. At the same time, various impractical programs that require members’ settings and payment settings with obvious "calculation" behavior may be suspected of forced consumption.

　　Many options are cumbersome to operate

　　Very unfriendly to the elderly

　　Returning to his hometown for the Chinese New Year this year, Wang Xu from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, found that he couldn’t use his grandfather’s TV anymore.

　　"There are only three remote controls, one for Internet Protocol Television, one for cable TV, and one for a cable TV set-top box. I tried to switch from Internet Protocol Television to cable TV for a long time without success. Watching TV itself is for leisure, how did it become so troublesome to operate?" Wang Xu lamented.

　　Wang Xu said that unlike the previous cable TV, which can be watched when turned on, smart TVs and Internet Protocol Television operate like mobile phones. There are various options on the screen, and if you want to watch CCTV Satellite TV, you need to switch the receiving channel. "Now although there are more programs that can be watched after the TV is connected to the Internet, the’threshold ‘for watching TV is getting higher and higher. If you want to turn on the TV to watch the channel you want, it is like crossing a barrier. You have to click on countless options."

　　After interviewing many people in Beijing, Tianjin, Anhui, Jiangsu and other places, the reporter found that the vast majority of people who watch TV every day are the elderly, and for the middle-aged and elderly groups, the operation of smart TVs is obviously too complicated. Wang Xu’s grandfather calls his grandson for help every time he turns on the TV, while the neighbors are the children at home who adjust the TV to their parents every morning before going to work.

　　There are still many inconveniences. During the investigation, the reporter found that Internet Protocol Television has problems such as picture cards, picture deformation, and equipment use. Li Ping from Xinxiang, Henan told the reporter that if you open cable TV members to watch CCTV satellite TV directly through Internet Protocol Television, it will occupy home broadband, and sometimes there will be card phenomena when watching programs.

　　When consumers report to the customer service, some customer service staff do not ask or really solve the problem. The cable TV set-top box of Beijing citizen Li Fei’s smart TV is faulty. To switch channels, you must place the remote control within one or two meters of the set-top box and press it to respond. Changing the set-top box did not solve the problem. The maintenance staff said it was the problem of the system itself. The two sides communicated and pulled for several days, and the maintenance staff refused to repair it.

　　Multi-party collaborative comprehensive governance

　　Improve user TV viewing

　　The reporter retrieved relevant information and found that the problems existing in smart TV and Internet Protocol Television, especially the advertising chaos, have existed since the popularity of digital TV, and have been attracting attention for many years. Why haven’t these problems been effectively solved?

　　Du Leqi, chairperson of the Economic Law Research Association of Jiangsu Law Society and associate professor of Jiangsu University Law School, believes that this is the result of a combination of factors.

　　He introduced that the first is the mismatch between advertising laws and regulations and new types of advertising. With the rapid development of the Internet and digital economy, the advertising industry has also developed rapidly. Today’s advertising methods are more diverse, spread more widely, carry more content, and change more rapidly, which has exacerbated the proliferation of advertising. The embedding of digital or online platforms not only enriches the forms of advertising, but also enhances the concealment of advertising, making it more difficult to use relevant laws and regulations to identify advertisements. Second, there are deficiencies in government regulatory policies and efforts. In the process of law enforcement, government regulators have failed to truly crack down and strengthen supervision. In addition, the technical level of regulatory departments cannot match the market development momentum, and cannot prevent or detect problems in a timely manner.

　　"There is a lack of supervision in advertising industry organizations, social supervision organizations and individual consumers. The self-discipline review mechanism of the advertising industry in our country has not been able to form a complete and multi-level self-discipline system. There is no full-time self-discipline organization in our country, and the self-discipline function of member associations has not yet been perfected. The realization of advertising self-discipline function is mainly undertaken by advertising operators and advertising publishers, but driven by interests, it is difficult for individual enterprises as advertising operators and advertising publishers to be fair and law-abiding. Consumers play a small role in the specific supervision process due to lack of sufficient incentives and weak ability." Du Leqi said.

　　Experts interviewed by reporters believe that to solve the problems of smart TV, Internet Protocol Television advertising, high fees, and cumbersome operations, multi-party collaborative governance is required.

　　In the view of Zhu Xiaojuan, associate professor of China University of Political Science and Law, director and deputy secretary-general of the Commercial Law Research Association of the China Law Society, we should give play to the role of the market, advocate businesses and advertising business entities to pursue profits while assuming social responsibility, actively carry out internal compliance governance system construction, and consciously reduce or even eliminate some unreasonable and illegal phenomena. The Interim Measures for the Management of Internet Advertising and other relevant laws and regulations need to strengthen the targeted adjustment of illegal acts.

　　"In terms of legal responsibility, administrative responsibility is the main one and the amount of punishment is too low to play a deterrent role. The amount of fines should be increased. At the same time, it is appropriate to increase the provisions of civil liability to give full play to the role of legal responsibility. In addition, the lack of administrative management system based on geographical jurisdiction and pre-event supervision power, coupled with the use of technology, affect the effectiveness of administrative supervision. Information sharing and administrative cooperation mechanisms should be established to save the cost of transferring jurisdiction. We should also strengthen pre-trial spot checks and supervision to force relevant entities to standardize behavior. At the same time, we should strengthen the application of technology to actively detect advertising violations and investigate and deal with them in a timely manner. We should also give play to the self-discipline and leading role of industry associations, urge industry associations to formulate industry norms, strengthen industry self-discipline, and promote the healthy development of the industry." Zhu Xiaojuan

　　In the opinion of Tang Wei, a lawyer at Beijing Yinghe Law Firm, for the elderly, the complex membership system is not conducive to their understanding, and smart TV merchants should clearly prompt and guide. For example, issues such as mobile phones, tablets and TVs cannot be used universally are often prone to disputes, and they should clearly indicate the scope and channels of viewing after purchasing such members when charging to avoid disputes.

　　With the consensus that "most TVs are now watched by the elderly", many respondents hope to make smart TVs and Internet Protocol Television senior-friendly. Some people suggest that some positive TV dramas suitable for the elderly should be watched for free. Others believe that radio and television, the three major operators can make their IPTV set-top boxes into TV applications like other apps, and put them in the TV application mall. Users who need them can directly download and install them, which can "control" everything with one remote control like before.

　　Zheng Ning, director of the Law Department of the School of Cultural Industry Management, Communication University of China, believes that with the arrival of the aging society, there are more and more elderly audiences, and it is necessary to carry out the senior-friendly transformation of smart TVs, which is not only the need to implement the elderly rights protection law, but also can reduce the digital divide.

　　"Operators can consider broadcasting some movies and TV dramas that contribute to the construction of a good family style and a clean culture, and the government can also use subsidies, grants, tax exemptions and other means to encourage the broadcast of such films, so as to spread the core socialist values," Zheng Ning said.
