1905 movie network news On June 6th, the stage art film produced and directed by the Central News Recording Film Studio (Group) officially landed in national cinemas. The film was created twice by the stage large-scale music and dance epic "Struggle for Chinese Children". As the first large-scale music and dance epic film in 4K, the film, with an all-star cast, evokes historical images of empathy and resonance of audiences in different eras through beautiful dance and familiar songs, promotes the spirit of struggle, eulogizes the struggle journey, condenses the struggle strength and realizes the struggle dream, which is a symphony of the new era and prosperity that perfectly presents the party and the people, struggle and pursuit of dreams.

Li Daoxin, vice president and professor of Peking University Art Institute, believes that the film has great significance of the times, which is not only a comfort to people who have come over for more than 100 years, but also an incentive to the present and a call to the future.

The stage has made great achievements, and the movie version of the big screen shines with charm.

It is understood that the film’s stage director Yang Xiaoyang, deputy director Tian Qinxin, chief writer Zhu Hai, Wang Xiaoling, music director Shu Nan and Zhao Lin have fully demonstrated the era songs of our country from the founding of the Party to the present on the stage through active creation. Rao Shuguang, president of China Film Critics Association and former secretary-general of China Film Association, believes that film "finds the greatest balance between stage aesthetics and film aesthetics, which not only gives full play to the inherent charm of stage art, but also presents the charm of film through cinematic means, achieving the greatest common denominator between stage aesthetics and film aesthetics."

Starting from The Internationale, music and dance vividly showed the 28-year struggle history from the founding of the Party in 1921 to the founding of New China in 1949, and then made a transition to socialist construction, and then to the period of reform and opening up, with the theme of building Daqing Oilfield, promising fields, flood fighting in 1998, earthquake relief and Olympic Games as the stage art creation. All exciting scenes were presented in the form of music and dance. Starting from the Tianyao Chinese chapter, the beautiful China scroll in the new era of socialism was fully displayed, with thousands of actors and hundreds of artists, singers, music composers and conductors, and chorus performances, and the creation of the stage part was brilliantly completed.

In this regard, Zhang Wei, executive vice president of China Film Critics Association, said, "This is the integration of stage performance and film and television performance. Because it is a movie, the facial expressions of the actors should also be performed. The performance passion and facial close-ups of countless star celebrities at a specific moment seem to be solidified in the moment of history and have the feeling of engraving relief. "

　At the same time, eight 8K digital cameras were used in film shooting, and a large number of film shooting methods such as moving, rocker arm, Stenikon stabilizer and super wide-angle lens were used. In order to ensure the exquisite screen picture, the film crew also set up a special studio in the National Grand Theatre to shoot special effects for dozens of actors. At the same time, during the editing process, they went to Hengdian Film and Television Base in Zhejiang Province and made up the images of the main actors in the Beijing studio.

In order to enrich the audio-visual effect of the screen, the technology of 4K and 5.1 surround sound is made, so that movie audiences can get a brand-new viewing experience for music and dance. In the process of making the film, leaders and experts reviewed it for more than 20 times before and after and put forward suggestions for revision, and finally polished and produced this large-scale stage art film.

Celebrate the centenary of the founding of the party and create a shocking epic system

The film "Struggle for Chinese Children" experienced a year-long post-production. In order to fully show the great journey of the party’s founding in the past 100 years, the main creator searched a large number of precious recorded images from the huge database of the producer’s Central News Recording Film Studio (Group), and after repairing, screening and adding them to the film, many of these extremely precious recorded images appeared in public view for the first time.

Let the audience truly feel the hardships of the century-old party history and the spirit of hard work. Liu Hanwen, a professor at Fujian Normal University and director of the former Film Institute of the Development Research Center of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, expressed empathy for the major historical events in the film. "Seeing these scenes can bring us back to the historical scene at that time and arouse memories."

At the same time, compared with the stage performance version, the film "Struggle for Chinese Children" strengthens the expressiveness on the big screen from all dimensions, which not only makes the whole party narrative on the big screen by technical means, but also shows the glorious course of the motherland’s development to today with a compact rhythm. In this regard, Suo Yabin, a professor at the School of Drama and Film of China Communication University, believes that "this work is irreplaceable, and the influence of the film works exceeds the stage."

Recently, demonstrations broke out in many university campuses in the United States, mainly from many well-known universities. They strongly demand a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza and urge the US government to stop its military assistance to Israel. Although some American politicians tried to characterize the demonstrators as "anti-Semitic", the momentum of the anti-war movement did not weaken, but became more and more intense.

On April 22nd, demonstrations continued in new york University. On the same day, a total of 133 demonstrators were arrested by the police for allegedly disturbing public order and subsequently released. In addition, the demonstrations also spread to Yale University, where more than 60 demonstrators were arrested, including 47 students. The wave of demonstrations not only swept the east coast, such as New Haven, Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts, but also spread to the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota at St. Paul in the midwest, as well as the Humboldt campus of California State Polytechnic University and the University of California at Berkeley in the west coast.

Since the new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out in October last year, supportive demonstrations against Palestine have occurred from time to time in American university campuses. However, the scale of recent demonstrations in Columbia University and the large number of arrested participants have undoubtedly injected new impetus into the anti-war movement. Demonstrators set up camps on the campus of Columbia University to express their concern and protest against the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

At present, the Gaza Strip is in a serious humanitarian crisis due to the conflict. According to statistics, more than 34,000 people have been killed in Israeli military operations, most of them women and children, another 70,000 people have been injured and millions have been displaced. Faced with this situation, the US Congress passed a bill on 23rd, approving the provision of more than $10 billion in military assistance to Israel. At the same time, the United States also cast the only negative vote in the United Nations Security Council, vetoing the draft resolution on Palestine becoming a member of the United Nations. These actions further aroused the anger of the demonstrators.

In addition to calling for a cease-fire and stopping military assistance, the demonstrators also demanded that their universities sever ties with Israeli arms suppliers and other enterprises that benefited from the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and revoke the expulsion or disciplinary decision on students and faculty who participated in the demonstration. Demonstrators are ethnically diverse, including Muslims and Jews, and are jointly organized by groups such as "Students for Justice for Palestine" and "Jewish Voice for Peace".

In response to the wave of demonstrations in colleges and universities, US President Biden condemned the so-called "anti-Semitic demonstrations" on the 22nd, and accused some demonstrators of not understanding the situation of Palestinians. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House of Representatives and Republican, thought that the demonstration at Columbia University posed a "threat" to Jewish students and described it as a non-peaceful "anti-Semitic atrocity". However, the organizers of the demonstration denied the existence of anti-Semitism, pointing out that the radical words of individual people could not represent the whole movement, and many Jewish students who did not participate in the demonstration reported that the demonstration was generally peaceful and did not feel that their personal safety was threatened.

In the first quarter of 2023, the cumulative sales volume of A00-class cars was 131,000, down 55.1% year-on-year, which was the biggest drop among all models this year. This is behind the withdrawal of subsidies and the cancellation of license concessions in some areas, because without these preferential measures, many consumers will be discouraged from buying new energy cars.

It is worth noting that, although the sales performance of 18,000 vehicles in April was not bad, compared with the average monthly sales volume in 2022 (33,700 vehicles), Wuling Hongguang EV was obviously seriously retrogressed this year.

Wuling, which builds cars for the people, why don’t people pay the bill now?

(1) The growth rate of micro-electric vehicles has slowed down, and competing products have been increasing.

After explosive growth in the previous two years, the market growth rate of micro-electric vehicles has begun to slow down. According to the data provided by China Automobile Association, in the first quarter of 2023, the sales volume of A00-class micro-electric vehicles was 131,000, down 55.1% year-on-year, which is the biggest decline this year. The market of micro-electric vehicles is becoming saturated gradually, and the number of consumers is decreasing, which affects the sales of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV to some extent.

In addition to the saturation of the market, the increasing number of competing vehicles at the same price has also affected the sales of Wuling Hongguang MINI EV. Panda, QQ ice cream and competing products with the same price poured into the market, which reduced the advantage of Wuling MINI EV at that time and further squeezed the living space of Wuling Automobile.

(2) There are few airbags, and the safety has been repeatedly criticized by consumers.

A consumer in Liuzhou, interviewed by the local TV program "New Broadcast", indicated that his car purchase budget was 50,000-80,000, because he was from Liuzhou, and he felt more proud to drive a Wuling car made in Liuzhou. However, when buying a car, we will also consider more practical factors such as cost performance and safety. BYD Seagull and Chery QQ ice cream with the same price attract her. The former is equipped with four safety bags, while the latter attracts her with a lifetime warranty after-sales policy.

At the same time, she also expressed her feelings about the test drive of Wuling Hongguang MINI EV: the grip is not strong, and it is shaking when driving. Besides the top version of Wuling Hongguang MINI EV with two airbags, the rest of the configuration is only one main driver airbag, and the overall safety is not strong enough.

This also reveals the reason why Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is not paid by the people more and more, lacks its own core competitiveness, and does not perform well in the key product strength of safety, which affects the current competition of Wuling Hongguang MINIEV.

(3) It is difficult to break through the price reduction. Can Wuling Binguo turn the tide?

Faced with such a market situation, Wuling started the second round of price reduction in 2023. From April 8 to May 31, 2023, consumers will get a maximum of 10,000 yuan for purchasing Wuling new energy vehicles, but from the sales data, the effect is not very good.

In addition to price reduction, Wuling also launched on March 29th this year.Wuling Binguo, the price is 59,800-89,800 yuan. In the first month of listing, it harvested the sales volume of 15,000 vehicles, and the results were acceptable. It provides a "bullet" for Wuling Automobile to transform into a market of 500,000-100,000.However, in this market segment, Wuling Binguo has to face multiple competitors, and the market competition is quite fierce.

The biggest competitor that Wuling Binguo faces is BYD Seagull, and the two cars have the same level and price. Although the body size of Wuling Binguo has certain advantages, butHowever, from the configuration point of view, Wuling Binguo is only equipped with a central control panel on the top version, and there is a passenger airbag on the vehicle configuration of nearly 80,000 yuan. In terms of safety function, the whole system lacks an ESP body stability control system. BYD Seagull, on the other hand, is equipped with active and passive safety configurations such as airbags, brake assist, anti-lock braking and ESP body stability control system. In this contrast, it seems that Wuling Bingo’s "sincerity" is insufficient, and it is inevitable that Wuling Bingo will be able to turn the tide and lift the banner of sales.

Conclusion:To sum up, Wuling automobile has fallen into the sales decline of low-end models at present, and it is difficult to transform further market segments with multiple competitors. In the future, Wuling automobile will be hard to "deus ex" in the increasingly fierce competition of new energy track, if it can’t make clear what consumers need in terms of safety and cost performance.
