The technology far exceeds the opponent/is comparable to a million luxury cars! Test drive the M5 EV

As the first pure electric model of the Q brand, EV released the official map on July 25 this year, and opened the reservation on the 27th of the month. The previous listing in September was also as scheduled! On September 6, EV was officially listed, and two models were launched, priced at 288,600 yuan and 319,800 yuan respectively.

Let’s talk about the configuration of the two cars first. The two cars are the rear-drive standard version and the four-wheel drive performance version respectively. In addition to the power system, battery life and wheel rim size, other aspects are consistent, so it is not difficult for the target user to make a choice. As for the dynamic performance of the EV, how much is the difference in power between the two versions, please follow the professor’s perspective into this test drive content!

Previously, the vehicles launched by the world were all extended-range power and still had internal combustion engines. This time, the EV adopted a pure electric power system, becoming a more "pure" new energy model, and its "Huawei content" was also higher than before. Many Huawei technology blessings made it more like a technology product. As a pure electric model, the overall design of the EV presents a very simple style. The front of the car adopts a closed design, which is officially called a shark nose shape. Compared with other models of the brand, the identity of the pure electric car is very recognizable.

The overall profile of the side is basically the same, the side lines are very smooth, and the overall attitude is relatively low. The body size is basically the same as the extended range version, with a length, width and height of 4785 × 1930 × 1620mm respectively, and the wheelbase of 2880mm has not changed, but the EV version is slightly longer and slightly lower. It is said that this setting also optimizes its wind resistance coefficient.

The biggest difference is that the EV adopts an exclusive rim shape. The picture above is the rear-drive standard version model. Its rim size is 19 inches, and the tire specification is 255/50 R19. The original factory is equipped with P ZERO series tires. If it is a four-wheel drive performance version, the original factory will be equipped with 20-inch rims, and the visual effect will be further improved.

The tail adopts a through-type taillight design, and the above is equipped with a spoiler, which creates a good overall texture.

Let’s talk about the power configuration first. The rear-drive standard version is equipped with a permanent magnet/synchronous power motor located on the rear axle, with a maximum power of 200kW and a total torque of 360N · m. The official 100-kilometer acceleration score is 7.1s. The four-wheel drive performance version uses the formula of front AC/asynchronous + rear permanent magnet/synchronous, with a total system power of 365kW and a total torque of 675N · m. The official 100-kilometer acceleration score is 4.5s.

In terms of battery packs, the EV is equipped with an 80kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. Due to the different motor configurations, the rear-drive standard version has a longer battery life. The battery life under CLTC conditions is 620km, and the four-wheel drive performance version has a range of 552km under CLTC conditions. Only from the battery life data under CLTC conditions, the EV performance is relatively excellent.

The suspension specification is a high-specification combination of front and rear arms and multiple links. When I first knew that the test drive location was a professional track, I thought that the EV would be a sporty car, but after the actual experience, it was not the case. The overall style of the EV suspension has a clear comfort orientation, and the shock absorber has good vibration filtering, so that there is not much feeling transmitted to the body when pressed on the shoulder at high speed.

Of course, the lack of sporty style does not mean that the control is not good. Since the event party chose the track venue, it is also because this EV has enough highlights to show in the track. First of all, the front and rear weight of the body, it has 50:50 front and rear, so in most cases its front and rear axle loads are relatively balanced, giving the driver a friendly feeling. It does not require too much delicate operation, and it can maintain a very stable state in the corners, even in the rear drive version, it is also very stable.

Secondly, this EV also has a "magic weapon", that is, it is equipped with the HUAWEI DATS system (Dynamic Adaptive Torque System) for the first time, also known as the dynamic adaptive torque system. At yesterday’s press conference, Yu Chengdong said that the world has mastered this technology with Huawei. Simply put, this technology can automatically distribute wheel torque and enhance stability on the road. Does it sound new? The key is that this system is very fast. Generally, the response speed of new energy vehicles distributing torque is about 100ms, and this DATS system is said to be able to complete adjustment within 4ms.

?

The advantage is that the curves are more stable, and in the face of road conditions such as bumps, potholes, and ground adhesion, the torque distribution can be quickly adjusted to enhance driving stability.

As a pure electric model, the most formidable opponent in the track is "self-weight". The standard version of the EV rear drive has a curb weight of 2235kg, and the four-wheel drive performance version is 2350kg. Under normal driving conditions, you don’t feel that the EV is like a two-ton car at all. Whether it is steering or suspension, it is very brisk, but if you really want to push the limit in the track, you can still feel that the large load transfer puts a certain pressure on the tires.

The steering feel and the adjustment of the brake pedal can also feel that it has made a lot of optimization for urban road conditions. Although there is less feedback on the track, in daily driving, this kind of gentle and high-quality performance is definitely a better choice. The flexibility of the body and the NVH performance are great. In terms of the overall style, the EV’s comfort and high-end performance are relatively outstanding, and the comfort is much better than that of many pure electric competitors of the same level or price.

?

In fact, in the professor’s personal opinion, the rear-drive standard version is actually enough, with more battery life, and the acceleration ability is already very abundant, especially since it is pure electric, the torque response is fast, and the acceleration experience is definitely better than the traditional fuel car of the same level. As for the four-wheel drive performance version, the 4.5s acceleration is of course very good, but the tonality or style of the EV car will not make people drive under the accelerator pedal.

The key point of the car was naturally the smart cockpit. Previously, the professor had experienced the charm of this system many times. The UI interface, fluency, processing speed, loading speed, interaction logic, including the display effect in various scenarios, can be said to be the "ceiling" of the car system of the same price.

The EV will be the first pure electric model in the family to be equipped with HarmonyOS 3, and the system will not only optimize the details, but also bring some new functions. However, the model tested this time did not actually carry HarmonyOS 3, but the professor was allowed to "preview" some highlights of the new system in advance. The "complete" of HarmonyOS 3 will take some time after it is launched.

For example, HarmonyOS 3 will be added to the super desktop, this with Huawei mobile phone, the experience is still very good, carry the mobile phone on the car can be seamlessly switched, HarmonyOS mobile phone end point application can seamlessly get on the car, to achieve the car machine interface parallel vision horizontal screen window layout display, the automotive industry has been talking about opening up the mobile end and the car end of the ecological talk for many years, to now experience this set of super desktop, the professor believes that this can be regarded as open…

Of course, not only the mobile phone terminal, but also some other smart devices from Huawei. The professor found cards, remote control keys, mechanical keys, mobile phones, and smart watches from the car on the spot, which can be used to unlock the vehicle. I don’t know how users with difficulty in choosing will choose. In addition, a new sharing network function has been added.

The brand’s "care" for the mobile phone can be said to be meticulous. In addition to the various integration and interconnection of the system and ecology, every model of the Wenjie brand is equipped with high-power wireless charging and fast charging interfaces.

In the car, there are in-car cameras and facial recognition modules. In addition to providing functions such as driver status detection, in-car video recording, and facial recognition, the EV has an industry-first HUD highly adaptive adjustment function that allows the driver to recognize the human eye position when entering the vehicle, thus automatically adjusting the HUD position.

Finally, let’s talk about security. With the digital transformation of automobiles, automobile safety now has a broader dimension. In addition to the body structure and active/passive safety configuration, information security is also becoming more and more important. In this regard, the EV not only provides users with the permission to turn off sensitive information such as the camera, microphone, and location with one click inside the system, but also carefully prepares physical switches for the cameras in the car, which is very worthy of praise.

After this test drive experience, the EV product force is quite good, the driving texture and comfort are excellent, the sense of grade in the car is also very good, and the performance of the car system is an absolute advantage. Combined with the price of 288,600 yuan – 319,800 yuan, the competitiveness is indeed very strong.

The many "flavors" of large kiln drinks, which one do you like the most?

   Drinking beverages is one of everyone’s daily hobbies. There are many beverage companies, and the flavors of beverages are also different. Today, let’s take a look at the main products of National Soda Kiln Beverages, and which flavors will you pick?


  With the precise implementation of brand positioning, Big Kiln Beverage builds a super sign of communication as the pioneer of "Big Soda", opens the market through 520mL glass bottle packaging Big Soda, converts the selling point into the explosive point of "Big Soda, Drink Big Kiln", and continuously strengthens the brand impression of consumers. With the blessing of "large capacity, shareable, and refreshing atmosphere", it has successfully won the favor of many consumers and successfully entered the circle. In terms of taste, Big Kiln Beverage’s juice soda is mainly based on three classic flavors, supplemented by new flavors, to meet the diverse needs of consumers.


  "Big Kiln Guest" is a childhood memory that many people love. When you open the bottle cap and "poof", a "guest flavor" that combines the unique flavor of honey, fruit and carbonated drinks will fill the air, and it will feel full of bubbles. When you drink it in your mouth, the bubbles and fruit aroma burst in your mouth at the same time, and your senses will be instantly stimulated. "Big Kiln Orange Nuo" is full of orange flavor, maintaining the natural sweetness of the fruit itself. "Big Kiln Li Ai" is a rich lychee flavor, which brings a sweet and refreshing taste to the taste buds, and every bite can feel the vibrant lychee flavor. Big Kiln recently also launched a pineapple flavor, which is sweet and sour, juicy and fresh, with refreshing bubbles, a mouthful of satisfaction! It can be said that each flavor of the Dayao beverage juice soda series has its own unique characteristics and is very popular with consumers.


  In addition, Dayao drinks focus on young, portable, and trendy style products have also carried out taste innovation, launching lime, frozen pear, and pineapple flavored juice soda. Dayao lime perfectly blends bubbles with lime, with a fresh taste and full of lime flavor; frozen pear is a specialty food in Northeast China, and it also has a unique flavor when combined with soda. Erbin’s frozen pear on the plate is not eaten, so it is better to have a bottle of Dayao frozen pear soda; pineapple flavored soda is sweet and sour, with fresh bubbles and refreshing, as well as dopamine color scheme, a bright spring happy drink!

  It can be seen that the strength of Big Kiln Beverages in taste innovation cannot be underestimated. Big Kiln Beverages also launched 0 sugar series, fun soda sparkling water, small kiln fruit steam, Chayuanxiang juice gas tea, pomelo love honey pomelo gas tea, energy coffee, kiln fruit, etc., to build a four-category matrix of carbonated drinks, juice drinks, plant protein drinks and functional drinks to meet the diverse needs of consumers.

  Consumer demand continues to change, and innovation in soda flavors will continue to evolve. According to Innova Market Insights, floral and nostalgic flavors with modern flavors are likely to resonate with consumers in 2024. 33% of consumers said they had looked for more floral flavors in the food and beverage category. Chamomile, peach blossom and honeysuckle are considered to be the fastest growing floral flavors. Will Big Kiln Beverages also introduce related new flavors? You can also look forward to it!

Constructing a "Pilot System" with Distinctive Agricultural Characteristics

  The "Guidelines for the Ideological and Political Construction of Courses in Colleges and Universities" clearly states that it is necessary to promote the ideological and political construction of courses in combination with professional characteristics, and to provide clear guidance on the ideological and political construction of agricultural professional courses. This is a re-understanding of the teaching laws of higher agricultural education, a re-clarification of the direction of running agricultural universities, a re-focus on the implementation of the fundamental task of building morals and people in agricultural colleges and universities, and a clearer goal of cultivating new talents who know farmers and love farmers.

  Northwest A & F University accurately grasps the overall requirements of curriculum ideology and politics and the characteristics of agricultural specialties, adheres to the principle of morality and cultivating people, takes strengthening agriculture and rejuvenating agriculture as its own responsibility, organically unifies ideological and political education with professional education, guarantees the system and mechanism of curriculum ideological and political construction, takes the construction of curriculum ideological and political teaching system as the core, and takes team construction as the key, designs a curriculum ideological and political "pilot system" with the characteristics of West Farmers, and forms a new system of ideological and political education of "ideological and political courses + curriculum ideological and political + professional ideological and political", builds a big ideological and political pattern that is unified with the mission of Agricultural University, and strives to cultivate new talents who know farmers and love farmers in the new era.

  Deepen the innovation of the system and mechanism, and "precisely navigate" for the construction of curriculum ideology and politics. The school has established a leading group for the construction of curriculum ideology and politics led by the party secretary and the principal, and established a curriculum ideology and politics coordination research center to strengthen leadership in terms of policy support, condition guarantee, curriculum construction, etc., and coordinate the promotion of curriculum ideology and politics work. The construction of curriculum ideology and politics and the implementation of the fundamental task of building people with morality, training outstanding agricultural and forestry innovative talents with the same planning, deployment, implementation, and assessment, implement the "Ideological and Political Casting Soul Action Plan", and issue the "Implementation Plan for Curriculum Ideological and Political Work", unify explicit education and implicit education, form a synergy effect, and truly build a full-scale and all-round ideological and political education pattern for all staff.

  Focusing on the construction of the curriculum system, we will "accurately pilot" the ideological and political construction of the curriculum. The school always insists on integrating the ideological and political concept into the whole process of talent training. Normally carry out theme activities such as "ideological and political course teacher training and curriculum ideological and political construction", and create 256 ideological and political demonstration courses with the characteristics of West Farmers in the form of project approval, covering three types of general courses, subject courses and practical courses, covering 67 undergraduate majors in the school; create a number of down-to-earth and effective characteristic practical ideological and political courses, and extend the ideological and political education chain of the curriculum. Carry out "Qinling ecological civilization education" to guide students to establish and practice the concept that green waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. Implement the teaching function improvement project of the station, plan and build a number of practical teaching projects, create a "golden lesson" for practical education, and create a large classroom for practical education in the new era.

  Strengthen the construction of the teaching team and "escort" the ideological and political construction of the curriculum from a long distance. The school insists on changing teachers’ concepts and improving teachers’ abilities as the core task, and stimulates new vitality in the ideological and political construction of the curriculum. First, combine internal and external "intelligence". Select excellent teachers of the ideological and political courses of the curriculum and teachers of the ideological and political courses to carry out off-campus learning and exchanges, and invite well-known university experts to the school to carry out the ideological and political training of the curriculum. The second is to set up a training team "Huizhi". Normally carry out special training on the ideological and political topics of the curriculum, demonstration observation and other activities, and form a training brand with the characteristics of West Farmers. The third is to carry out special training "Expansion Intelligence". Add a "Course Ideological and Political" training link to the induction training of new teachers, hold workshops The fourth is the "borrowing wisdom" of collective teaching research. The teaching and research section is used as a unit to organize teaching seminars, collectively prepare lessons, optimize teaching design, and promote the organic integration of curriculum teaching and ideological and political education.

  Focus on typical demonstration and guidance, and "stable endurance" for the ideological and political construction of the curriculum. The school actively creates an atmosphere of ideological and political construction of the curriculum in which "the curriculum door has ideological and political, and teachers teach and educate people" by commending advanced and strengthening publicity. After the recommendation of grass-roots teaching organizations, the selection of faculties and departments, and school competitions, the course ideological and political "teaching pacesetters", "teaching experts" and "teaching backbones" are selected to create a group of famous teachers and teams in the ideological and political teaching of the curriculum. Take the teachers’ participation in the reform of the ideological and political teaching of the curriculum and the effect of the ideological and political of the curriculum as an important basis for teachers’ assessment and evaluation, job recruitment, evaluation and reward, selection and training, and professional title promotion. Make the ideological and political of the curriculum an inherent requirement for teachers’ career development,

  In the next step, the school will continue to earnestly study and implement the important exposition of the Supreme Leader’s General Secretary on education, fully implement the spirit of the National Conference on Ideological and Political Work in Colleges and Universities, and take the establishment of ideological and political courses and the comprehensive promotion of curriculum ideological and political as an important task of coordinating the construction of "double first-class".

Chinese scientists have discovered the Milky Way’s giant magnetic ring, which extends from 6,000 light-years to 50,000 light-years from the Milky Way’s center

China News Service, Beijing, May 14 (reporter
Sun Zifa) Chinese Academy of Sciences National Astronomical Observatory released news to the media on May 14, the station Dr. Xu Jun and Han Jinlin researcher by analyzing the pulsar in the Milky Way and the distribution of the Faraday rotation effect of the radio source outside the Milky Way, the latest research found that the Milky Way’s halo (Milky Way) has a huge magnetic ring structure, its magnetic ring extends from 6000 light years to 50,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.

This landmark research paper by Chinese scientists on the magnetic field of the Milky Way has recently been published in the international scientific journal Astrophysical Journal (ApJ), providing crucial observations for the study of cosmic ray particle propagation, galactic gas dynamics, and cosmic magnetic field evolution.

The first author of the paper, Xu Jun, introduced that the origin and evolution of the cosmic magnetic field is a long-standing major problem in astrophysics, and it is also a priority topic for many large radio telescope projects such as the Square Kilometer Array Radio Telescope (SKA). They are all developing and improving polarization measurement capabilities, hoping to make efforts in this direction.

Among them, measuring the large-scale magnetic field structure of the Milky Way is a rather challenging work. Researcher Han Jinlin, who pioneered this field of research, has been deeply involved in the study of the Milky Way’s magnetic field for the past 30 years. He measured the large-scale magnetic field structure of the Milky Way’s disk region (the Milky Way’s disk) by observing the Faraday rotation effect of large-scale pulsars and extragalactic radio sources. He found that the direction of the large-scale magnetic field in the Milky Way’s disk is along the spiral arms and flipped between the spiral arms.

In the galactic halo region, Han Jinlin and others were the first to certify that the Faraday rotation effect has an antisymmetric sign distribution in the inner galactic sky as early as 1997, indicating that the galactic halo above and below the galactic disk has a circumferential magnetic field structure in the opposite direction, and it was subsequently confirmed by more astronomical observation data. It has been widely adopted by the international astronomical community and has become the basic content of the galactic magnetic field structure model. It has also been written into many international classic textbooks.

Han Jinlin, the corresponding author of the paper, pointed out that the size and strength of the magnetic ring structure of the galactic halo have been difficult to measure for more than 20 years, because pulsars and other celestial bodies in the galactic halo region near the sun also show the anti-symmetric distribution of the Faraday effect. Some international scholars speculate that Faraday objected to whether the sky is dominated by the interstellar medium in the local region of the Milky Way near the sun. "So, does this magnetic ring exist in the entire galactic halo or only in the local area? What is the strength and size of the galactic halo magnetic ring?"

In response to these problems, Han Jinlin innovatively proposed in this study that the measurement of the Faraday rotation rate of pulsars near the sun as the contribution of the local interstellar medium be deducted from the value of the Faraday effect sky distribution of the extragalactic radio source, so that the Faraday rotation effect distribution of the giant silver halo can be obtained. Xu Jun collected all the relevant data and used the 500-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), known as the "Chinese Sky Eye", to newly measure many faint pulsars.

After analyzing the data according to this innovative idea, they found that the average Faraday effect over the entire sky exhibits an antisymmetric distribution of galactic coordinates, and that the antisymmetric distribution is no longer limited to the inner galactic region, but fills the entire sky, extending from the central region of the Milky Way to its opposite direction. The results of this study suggest that the magnetic ring in the galactic halo extends from 6,000 light-years from the galactic center to 50,000 light-years (the sun is located about 30,000 light-years). The interstellar medium in the local region near the sun is obviously part of a large magnetic ring, and its basic properties and characteristics are basically the same as those of the large magnetic ring, but its effect is stronger because it penetrates deep into the galactic disk.

"I had this idea more than 20 years ago. I have been slowly accumulating data and finally got it." Han Jinlin said.

The first generation of Tik Tok online celebrity "went down to the altar"

Text | Vince An 

After the rise of short videos, for Tik Tok, star-making seems to happen overnight. From 2017 to 2018, Xiao Ye gained tens of millions of fans from an unknown ordinary person because of some interesting videos, and even became popular on YouTube abroad.

There is Wen Wan, a former elder sister in Tik Tok, who once became popular with her video of rocking with music in the parking lot, and the number of fans in Tik Tok exceeded 10 million in ten days. In 2018, with a hip-hop dance video, Degula K gained 5 million fans in just ten days. At present, her fans have exceeded 25 million. It is reported that the price of one of her videos is over 400,000, which has surpassed her classmate "Office Xiao Ye".

Even so, the vitality of Tik Tok online celebrity is hard to last. Is this caused by platform users’ aesthetic fatigue, liking the new and hating the old? There is no IP with long-term precipitation, so today, when the live broadcast boom is sweeping, Tik Tok seems to be somewhat behind Aauto Quicker and Ali.

There is no IP in online celebrity, Tik Tok

Everything that is quick may also rot quickly.

On January 6th, the Annual Report of Content Industry in 2020 released by the new list mentioned that only 1.4% of the Top100 accounts in Tik Tok were listed for more than 10 times. Most accounts are quiet or even disappear after a night of scenery, which makes people wonder at the fast iteration speed of Tik Tok and online celebrity.

According to media reports, in August, 2019, two children made popcorn videos after imitating a pop can in Tik Tok. Because they didn’t have relevant knowledge, they were injured in an explosion, and one of them died unfortunately. In view of the suspicion of guidance, on September 17, 2019, one family member and Onogata signed a settlement agreement. Previously, the imitated "Office Xiao Ye" team had paid the two parties a total of about 800,000 yuan in aid.

Since then, Xiao Ye’s office has been closed one after another, and he has not returned until now. At present, the update of Xiao Ye in the office is basically the content of new colleagues, and the broadcast volume is not as good as before.

Wen Wan’s side, before enjoying the bonus of online celebrity traffic, was given the title by Tik Tok. This phenomenal online celebrity used to have a large amount of privacy outflow, and his plastic surgery, dropping out of school and hanging out in nightclubs … were not too likable. And it’s hard to brush Dygula K in Tik Tok. Some netizens questioned, "It’s all the popularity of brushing. I accidentally saw her live broadcast that day, and the live broadcast room was hundreds of people" …

It is worth mentioning that Li Ziqi, with his short pastoral video, has made countless fans around the world, and the total revenue of YouTube and Taobao stores is said to exceed 100 million. In August 2018, her Tmall store "Liziqi Flagship Store" officially opened. On the day when the store was launched, the sales volume of some commodities exceeded 10,000; After three days on the line, the sales reached 10 million yuan, but now the sales of its popular food products only break through 10 thousand per month. According to the Baidu index, its attention has generally dropped by more than 60% compared with the peak period.

A new trip that I can’t catch up with

Some insiders told Yiming. com that the active cycle of short video online celebrity is mostly within half a year.

At the moment when the algorithm is in power, in the fragmented time, if you want to attract attention and praise, you can only do entertainment and eye-catching content. In order not to make mistakes and save time and cost, the creator must seize the platform users in just a few minutes or even dozens of seconds, but in fact, there are very few valuable contents that users can watch in this process.

Of course, short video players are mostly just for fun. Therefore, even the creators who are eager to create powder-sucking through deep content have to compromise the user’s preferences because of the data such as the number of fans and the number of likes, and follow the trend of some short videos.

According to the Annual Report of Content Industry in 2020 released by the new list, in 2019, 53.2% of the accounts were on the TOP100 of WeChat monthly list, 9.7% were on the TOP100 of Taobao monthly list, and 1.4% were in Tik Tok.

"Many online celebrity actually became popular at first without knowing what was going on, perhaps just catching up with a hot spot or catering to a certain trend," a senior practitioner in an industry said in an interview with Yiming. "But they lack the ability to follow up, so even if they stand out at once, they will soon disappear from everyone."

An executive of MCN organization in Shanghai thinks that Tik Tok has a staged content tendency and traffic support, because once the creators make a little achievement, they are easy to form path dependence, and it is difficult to get out of the comfort zone, such as Dracula K. Perhaps at first, everyone was interested in singing and dancing, and Tik Tok also gave such creators a traffic tilt, so that they could get higher-frequency exposure. However, as time goes by, users’ sensitivity to such short videos decreases, and the stimulation threshold keeps increasing, that is, aesthetic fatigue in the usual sense.

In order to revitalize traffic, Tik Tok can only use new forms to incite the ecological development of platform content, as can be seen from the revision of Tik Tok at the beginning of last year. In April last year, Tik Tok announced the full opening of users’ 1-minute video rights, and launched the "Vlog Billion Traffic Support Plan" to encourage ordinary users to record their lives and create content in a richer way.

Prior to this, new users could only shoot short videos for 15 seconds, and it took 1,000 fans to open a video for 1 minute. However, the decline in user stickiness and the increasingly serious homogenization of content have forced Tik Tok to speed up the pace of reform. Moreover, the longer the duration, the more sticky the users are. After all, Tik Tok mainly focused on harvesting the fragmentation time of users.

However, more and more companies are adding vlog to short videos, and platforms such as Baidu Good-looking, Weibo and bilibili are all eyeing up. Subsequently, live broadcast with goods suddenly rose, and Li Jiaqi and Viya helped Taobao refocus, which became a hot topic in the limelight. Aauto Quicker, however, is also working with Xin to cut the cake of live traffic.

Can’t catch the live broadcast, it’s hard to compete.

Live e-commerce has always been a shortcoming of Tik Tok, and advertising business is its lifeblood. Based on the characteristics of algorithm recommendation and centralized traffic distribution, Tik Tok’s advertising has a strong diversion effect, but in this mode, users are not very sticky, and private domain traffic is difficult to obtain and gather, which makes it difficult to form an e-commerce head anchor by relying on the natural incubation of the community.

Anxious, Tik Tok saw Ali and Aauto Quicker laughing and proudly broadcasting the goods, and happened to hit it off with Lao Luo, who was working to pay off debts. According to Tik Tok’s data, the first live broadcast in Luo Yonghao lasted for 3 hours and 17 minutes, with a total of 48.922 million people watching, of which 588,000 people gave gifts, with a total harvest of 36.327 million sound waves, 23 goods were put on the shelves, and the total payment transaction amount exceeded 110 million yuan.

The good performance of the first show made Tik Tok very excited, and the industry even thought that Tik Tok had the strength to compete with Taobao and Aauto Quicker. However, the debut is the peak. From April 1 to now, there are 14 live broadcasts in more than three months. The data of Lao Luo’s live broadcast room has been declining all the way, and the sales volume has dropped by 80% compared with the first one.

To Tik Tok’s surprise, Lao Luo didn’t become the king with goods comparable to Li Jiaqi and Viya. According to the June list data of GMV Monthly List of Live E-commerce Anchors released by WeMedia, Viya, Simba and Li Jiaqi are still in the top three rankings, but Luo Yonghao ranked 47th.

Nowadays, the first generation of online celebrity in Tik Tok has either fallen or failed to grasp the outlet of live broadcast with goods, and is silent and nameless. But Tik Tok itself, except advertising business, has no more sustainable commercial value. Although the trend of live e-commerce is clear, it is difficult for Tik Tok and Tik Tok online celebrity to rewrite their short-lived fate.

On the other hand, it reveals that the core of e-commerce still lies in the control of supply chain, but so far we have not seen the advantages of Tik Tok in these places. Therefore, once the traffic is exhausted, and there is no idea of sustainable and diversified development, Tik Tok can only be on the defensive in the competition of other platforms.

[Industry observation in the post-epidemic era] After May Day, there may not be many people who invite you to "learn about fitness swimming".

  Cctv news(Reporter Zhu Chunyan) "If you don’t lose weight in March, you will be sad in April". Every year in March and April, it is a good time for gyms to engage in sales, but this year is different due to the epidemic situation. Will the gym that missed this spring usher in the peak season in May?

  Wear a mask to keep fit.

  On April 30th, Liu Jian, a fitness coach, finished exercising in his fitness studio and picked up disinfectant to kill bacteria. "I’m finally ready to welcome members". During this time, he always went to the studio to exercise alone, and then closed the door and left. He joked that it was spending tens of thousands of dollars every month to configure a luxury gym for himself. Liu Jian’s fitness studio is located in Chaoyang District, Beijing. It was closed during the epidemic and is expected to reopen in early May.

Yun fitness

  As the epidemic situation eased, many gyms opened one after another. Mr. Wu, the head of public relations for Super Orangutan, a chain fitness institution, told the reporter that half of the more than 100 classrooms of Super Orangutan in eight cities across the country have been approved and accepted by various places and started to resume business. During the epidemic period, the business should implement systematic epidemic prevention and control measures. When members enter the store, they must take temperature measurement, register their real names, check their health codes, etc., and increase store housekeepers to do cleaning, disinfection and hygiene management.

  The reporter learned that many yoga studios in Beijing will also open for business. Phoenix Yoga staff said that after the class started on May 1st, the number of members in the class was strictly limited. Previously, the class that accommodated more than 40 people was changed to a maximum of 15 people, and members also needed to carry their own yoga mats to go to class. Yoga mats, towels, cups, etc. were no longer provided in the venue. She said that the venue has arranged to disinfect classrooms, auxiliary rooms, dressing rooms, public areas and toilets at regular intervals every day.

  According to the Work Plan on Safe and Orderly Opening of Sports and Fitness Facilities in novel coronavirus during the Epidemic Period issued by Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau, at present, except swimming pools and underground sports and fitness facilities, other indoor sports and fitness facilities can be reopened.

  Dapeng, the coach of an underground swimming and fitness venue in Beijing’s West Third Ring Road, told reporters that the membership card will be postponed. As for when the gym will open, the company is also waiting for a policy notice. Dapeng said that at this time in previous years, he would go out to hand out leaflets after giving lessons to members, "Learn about fitness swimming", but he has been unemployed at home since the Spring Festival holiday this year. Dapeng said that the company didn’t do anything during this time. "The boss has other business." In fact, he himself is not sure whether he can return to this gym to continue his work.

  The life-saving straw "Cloud Fitness" will not stop.

  On January 30th, the State Sports General Administration issued the Notice on Vigorously Promoting Scientific Fitness at Home, actively advocating scientific fitness at home. For each gym, driving home fitness has also become a lifeline for enterprises to survive.

  The Music Carving Campaign, which focuses on private and small class teaching, has about 500 stores nationwide. After offline suspension, it spends tens of millions every month. Han Wei, the founder, predicted that the epidemic would cost Leke at least 100 million yuan, or even several times. During the Spring Festival, Han Wei assembled 100 employees to form a "death squad" to carry out online business, including recording and broadcasting small videos, live broadcasting and offering special courses, which were launched on platforms such as Aauto Quicker and Tik Tok. Yang Shuting, the public relations director of Leke, said: "Online live broadcast has broken the barriers of time and space and attracted a large number of users."

  "Cloud Fitness" has become a must-have at home for a time. The super orangutan opened the "Super Scarlet Squat in the Home" on a live APP, and the number of online users in the first live broadcast exceeded 170,000, becoming the TOP1 anchor on a live broadcast. Mr. Wu, the head of public relations for Super Orangutan, said that with the arrival of the resumption of work, the number of viewers during this period was less than that in the early days, about 50,000 people per game, and many users have developed the habit of watching live exercises together.

  With the growth of users, "cloud fitness" has not only become a lifeline for gyms, but also attracted a large number of giants from outside the industry. Alibaba Entertainment, Suning, etc. also joined their sports institutions to continuously launch videos and live broadcasts of fitness guidance on the online platform.

  For fitness coaches, "cloud fitness" is a challenge, and it also gives them more room to play. During the epidemic, Keepland opened a "cloud small class" to allow coaches to start classes online in the form of a two-way camera. Coach Wang Wei said that he has never adapted to enjoying "small classes in the cloud" now. "Although his income is not as good as usual, he is more motivated to use his own training logic to attend classes."

  Probe into the boundary of fitness industry

  Although the income of online teaching is far less than that of offline courses, many insiders said that online exploration has cultivated people’s habit of online consumption, and offline is still the best fitness choice in the future, but online will also be indispensable. Online and offline access will become a new direction of the fitness industry.

  He Wenyi, executive director of China Sports Industry Research Center in Peking University, believes that if the fitness industry wants to innovate and upgrade, it is necessary to seize the opportunities and challenges in the epidemic, or it may be eliminated. The so-called opportunity is that it is very important for the fitness industry to grasp the innovation of fitness content and products after the epidemic has made people pay enough attention to health.

Yun fitness

  The manager of a gym store in Beijing said that due to the epidemic, the physical store could not operate normally, but the company launched the "2020 Anti-epidemic Memorial Card" to upgrade and innovate its products. In addition, online celebrity Store was launched earlier to explore the fitness venues in the new media era, making it a lifestyle platform, a club and a new social place.

  Han Wei, the founder of Leke, summed up the model of the gym into three versions: 1.0 model, opening a store to earn money from a store; 2.0 mode, establishing an online platform mode to connect users with offline gyms; 3.0 mode, after establishing the online platform, self-operated offline stores, "connecting people and goods yards, and making money offline".

  In the post-epidemic era, fewer people may invite you to "learn about fitness swimming" on the street, but there may be more and more advertisements recommending you to "buy chicken breast" on the mobile APP.

  "The fire at the scene that night was not big."


  Changle city officials said that they did not know how to save themselves and escape, which led to disaster.


  At about 3: 00 am on February 1, the reporter saw at the scene of the fire that the police pulled up a cordon near the "Latin" bar. The corner of the bar door was exposed with traces of heavy smoke, and the air was filled with a thick scorching smell. The police are conducting intense evidence collection work in the bar.


  The relevant person in charge of Changle Municipal Government said at the press conference that when firefighters arrived at the "Latin" bar within fou r minutes after receiving the police, they found that the fire area of the bar with a building area of 198 square meters was only 30 square meters, and it took firefighters only ten minutes to put out the open fire at the scene. These situations show that the fire at the scene was not big that night, but people were in a state of panic at that time, and they didn’t know how to save themselves and escape when the disaster came, which led to great disaster. (Beijing News)


  experience personally


  "Everyone panicked and huddled together."


  A survivor said that when the incident occurred, the smoke was rolling and it was a mess.


  At 3: 30 am on February 1st, Li Ming, who is in his twenties, has not fully recovered from the panic more than three hours ago. Fortunately, he escaped this robbery. When the fire broke out, he and his friends were spending money in the Latin bar.


  According to Li Ming’s memory, the fire started from the ceiling around 12 o’clock that night, and it spread quickly, and people rushed out of the room in droves. "We all panicked and didn’t know where to go. Everyone was huddled together."


  Yesterday morning, in the First Hospital of Fuzhou, a bartender who was being treated said that the fire was caused by a group of high school students who were celebrating a girl’s birthday. At 11 o’clo ck, they set off fireworks on the table. At first, the staff didn’t realize the danger. When the third fireworks were put on, the sparks jumped to the ceiling and ignited the wires. Because the ceiling was made of plastic foam, the fire quickly spread in the venue.

Daily skin care notice | Qingsong, the leader of beauty OEM, lost money for 3 years. Blue Moon only sounded the profit warning because of high marketing expenses?

Source: Sina Securities

  Produced by: Sina Finance Research Institute of Listed Companies

  Author: New Consumer Proposition /cici

  On January 31, the A-share 2023 annual report was announced, and the listed companies with excellent and poor performance in the daily chemical skin care industry were unveiled, and the industrial prosperity was unobstructed. Among the listed companies in the skin care and daily chemical industry that we are concerned about, a total of 6 companies have issued performance forecasts, and 4 listed companies have pre-increased, namely Jinbo Bio, Freda, Marubi and Shuiyang; There are two listed companies whose performance forecast "sounded the alarm" in 2023, namely Blue Moon Group and Qingsong Shares.

  Among them, Qingsong Co., Ltd., as the leading OEM of beauty and skin care, has weak profitability, and its main body of cosmetics business is Northbell acquired at a high premium, thus forming a huge goodwill. After the performance commitment period, Northbell’s "performance changed dramatically" and suffered successive losses in 2021-2022, which also led to huge goodwill accrual in 2021 and 2022. It is worth noting that in 2023, Northbell’s revenue declined and its net profit continued to lose money, which is also the fundamental reason for the sluggish performance of Qingsong.

  For Blue Moon Group, the market leader of household cleaning care, we think that the fundamental reason for its performance loss is still the serious product homogeneity and the channel expansion that is less than expected, and the marketing expenditure is greatly increased or secondary.

  Why is it difficult to make money in the upstream of the foundry leader Qingsong?

  Although the daily chemical skin care foundry is located in the upstream link of the cosmetics industry chain, it is often a section with weak profitability in the industry chain, which is closely related to the low bargaining power and high production cost of the foundry. Among all the listed companies of daily chemical skin care that released the performance forecast, only Qingsong Co., Ltd., the foundry leader, continued its performance loss.

  The original core business of Qingsong Co., Ltd. mainly includes beauty OEM and turpentine processing. At the end of 2022, the company completed the divestiture of turpentine deep processing business, and the company’s main business structure also changed to cosmetics business. The company’s main income and profits were concentrated in cosmetics business.

  In 2023, after the divestiture of turpentine deep processing business, the company’s performance did not bring many surprises to investors. It is expected that the annual revenue will decline and the net profit will continue to lose money. Specifically, the company expects to achieve a total revenue of 1.9-2 billion yuan in 2023, which is expected to decrease by 31.44%-34.87% year-on-year; The loss of net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies is 50-63 million, and the loss of net profit not attributable to the mother is 48-61 million. The net profit attributable to the mother and the net profit not attributable to the mother are still struggling in the whirlpool of losses.

  The main body of cosmetics business of Qingsong Co., Ltd. is Northbell. Northbell is mainly engaged in cosmetics ODM business, and its main products include masks, skin care products, wet wipes, etc. Its cooperative domestic brands cover many well-known brands of skin care and daily chemical listed companies, such as Perfect Diary under Yixian E-commerce, Winona under Betaine, etc. The cooperative listed companies include shanghai jahwa, Freda, Huaxi Bio, Betaine, etc.

  Although it cooperates with a number of big brands, Northbell’s own profitability is not strong. In 2019, Qingsong acquired 90% equity of Northbell at a price of 2.43 billion yuan, forming a goodwill of 1.366 billion yuan. The corresponding performance commitment is: the audited net profit attributable to the owner of the parent company after deducting non-recurring gains and losses realized by Northbell in 2018 is not less than 200 million yuan; Northbell’s total net profit in 2018 and 2019 is not less than 440 million yuan; Northbell’s total net profit in 2018, 2019 and 2020 is not less than 728 million yuan.

  From 2018 to 2020, Northbell realized net profit of RMB 210 million, RMB 243 million and RMB 287 million respectively, and accumulated net profit of RMB 740 million, fulfilling its performance commitment. After the performance commitment period, Northbell’s performance immediately changed face. In 2021, the operating income was 2.509 billion yuan, down 6.05% year-on-year, and the operating profit was 66 million yuan, which turned from profit to loss year-on-year.

  It is worth noting that in 2023, the company devoted almost all its energy to the cosmetics business and failed to turn losses. According to the company’s performance forecast, in 2023, Northbell’s revenue will decline and its net profit will be lost. It is estimated that its operating income will be 1.9-2 billion yuan, down year-on-year; The estimated net profit loss is 45-38 million yuan.

  Blue Moon sounded a profit warning due to increased marketing expenses? In the first half of the year, sales by category and offline channels dropped sharply.

  On January 17th, Blue Moon Group, which was listed on the Hong Kong stock market, issued a profit warning with pre-reduced performance. It is expected that by the end of fiscal year 2023, the comprehensive profit attributable to shareholders of the company will be reduced by not less than HK$ 230 million compared with HK$ 611.4 million attributable to shareholders of the company for the year ended December 31, 2022.

  According to the company’s announcement, the decrease in expected profit is mainly due to the increase in sales and promotion expenses, including increasing publicity through different sales channels, multimedia, omni-channel and consumer education to enhance the coverage of various sales and distribution channels and new products. It is noteworthy that in the first half of 2023, the company’s sales and distribution expenditure was HK$ 1.059 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 7.7%. This may indicate that in the third and fourth quarters of 2023, Blue Moon Group increased its marketing expenses.

  The core reason for Blue Moon Group to increase its marketing expenditure may still lie in the serious homogenization of products and the unexpected channel development. The slogan "Blue Moon, Creating a New Era of Laundry in China" is deeply rooted in people’s hearts, and the brand of Blue Moon has become synonymous with laundry detergent. At the beginning of 2012, the market share of Blue Moon has reached 52.7%.

  However, due to technical barriers and low barriers to entry, the dividend period of the Blue Moon did not last long. Domestic and foreign daily chemical enterprises urgently laid out the laundry detergent market and raced around the land, and the market quickly became a red sea from the blue ocean.

  In order to compete for market share, brands spare no effort in marketing. Inviting popular stars to speak on their behalf and reducing prices have become the necessary marketing means for going out of the circle. Under this influence, the blue moon’s unique pattern has also been threatened by domestic and foreign brands such as Libai, Carving, Verus, Jinfang and Mystery. Although "winning the first comprehensive share of similar products for N consecutive years" is the core propaganda point of Blue Moon, several head enterprises are evenly matched, and the gap is small. The market share of Blue Moon Group is far less than that in the early stage of industry development.

  With the intensification of brand competition in the market, Blue Moon Group is also slightly passive. In the first half of 2023, the sales of various products of the company fell sharply, of which the income of clothing cleaning and care products was HK$ 1.958 billion, down 20.1% year-on-year. The income from personal cleaning care products was HK$ 120 million, down 47.9% year-on-year; The income from household cleaning care products was HK$ 145 million, down 28.2% year-on-year.

  In addition to product marketing, online and offline channel development is equally important for daily chemical brands. Judging from the channel expansion of Blue Moon in recent years, Blue Moon was removed from KA stores such as RT Mart and Carrefour in June 2015. Although Blue Moon returned to hypermarkets in a low-key manner in 2017, this move also weakened the advantages of Blue Moon’s offline channels to some extent.

  In terms of channels, in the first half of 2023, the sales of offline distributor channels and direct sales to major customers declined significantly. Among them, online channel sales accounted for the highest proportion of HK$ 1.448 billion, down 1.9% year-on-year; The second channel of sales accounted for the offline distributor channel, with sales of HK$ 642 million, down 40.5% year-on-year; The revenue from direct sales to major customers was HK$ 132 million, down 49.5% year-on-year.

(Sales by channel in the first half of 2023 Source: Company Financial Report)

  In the first half of 2023, the sales by category and channel dropped sharply, and the marketing expenses dropped. The company attributed the main reason for the decline in profit to the increase in marketing expenses or it was difficult to convince investors. Specifically, the root cause of Blue Moon Group’s profit decline in 2023 is the decline in sales of a certain category of products, or the decline in sales of a certain channel, as well as the overall inventory situation of the company, which remains to be further analyzed after the company’s official financial report is issued.

How can anyone in this world not love Ryuichi Sakamoto?

The professor said that China fans can donate money to build a music classroom, which is a very happy gift for him. /douban
"My music is an island, and the world is an infinite ocean."
"If this is the only purpose, just to comfort and touch the victims, music and art will stop here."
In September 2019, the Japanese magazine ほぅてらす (Legal Platform) published an exclusive interview about Ryuichi Sakamoto. Among them, "What can music and art do for disasters?" His answer to this question caused a lot of discussion at that time.
Shortly after the disaster, there was no food, water and electricity, people were displaced, but musicians brought music in a big way, which was completely out of place in Ryuichi Sakamoto’s eyes.
Even since 2014, Ryuichi Sakamoto has been touring the country with the Northeast Youth Orchestra (TYO) composed of children from the counties affected by the 311 earthquake in Tokyo. "The power of music" is still his most annoying statement."It is a very foolish and shameful thing to make music with the illusory idea of transmitting strength and healing others."
TYO was evaluated by Japanese media as "passing on the courage and touch of crossing the disaster to the children and adults in the disaster-stricken areas through powerful and beautiful music". /@ Ryuichi Sakamoto Information CN
In this way, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was labeled as "anti-disaster music" by the public, brought two performances to the people of China who were deeply affected by the epidemic in February, 2020.
On February 29th, one of the most memorable events in this once-in-four-year period must be the special performance brought by Ryuichi Sakamoto at UCCA’s "Good Music in Aauto Quicker" concert.
Stones, broken tiles, porcelain bowls, alms bowls, bows, cymbals from Wuhan, China, and Malimba mallets made of recycled medical rubber, and then connected with impromptu piano and electric guitar performance, became a complicated and mysterious music universe full of collisions.
"Made in China"
On February 22nd, a week ago, he also played Aqua for the parents and children of China in the epidemic, and encouraged the older children and children who can’t go out with a gentle piano to do fun at home.
Aqua in Latin means the form of water, which can be running water, raindrops, the ocean and the source of life. This piece of music specially selected by Ryuichi Sakamoto comes from his most famous piano solo album BTTB.Back To The Basic, return to the original.
"Speaking of what music and art can do for disasters, compared with sending food and donations, I think the highest level that can be done should bedeepThink about the meaning of disaster and use your own work tableCome out. "
Let’s work hard together to tide over the difficulties.
This is Ryuichi Sakamoto’s "mountains and rivers are exotic, and the moon is in the same sky".
Mr Lawrence and the Last Emperor
For a long time, Ryuichi Sakamoto didn’t like Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.
"It’s too high-profile."Wherever he goes, he will be asked to play this piece. Ryuichi Sakamoto, who wants to remain an invisible man, hates his high popularity.
Yellow Magic Orchestra, a band formed by Ryuichi Sakamoto when he was young, became popular all over the world at an alarming rate in the late 1970s. "After the release of Y.M.O’ s second album" SOLID STATE SURVIVOR ",it suddenly became a fire. Overnight, I can’t walk in the street because everyone will point to me and call me Sakamoto Sakamoto. "
Ryuichi Sakamoto was called a "professor" because Gao Qiao of Y.M.O said to him, "You are a graduate student of Tokyo University of the Arts. I will call you a professor in the future."
Because he hated being recognized in the street, he couldn’t accept this change. Ryuichi Sakamoto simply stayed at home for 10 months, just didn’t want to be disturbed.
So Y.M.O became a flash in the pan, and it took only five years from the fire to the dissolution, just because Ryuichi Sakamoto couldn’t stand the band’s popularity.
Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence, which is widely circulated, is just a good piece of music in Ryuichi Sakamoto’s eyes, but it is not so good as a movie soundtrack.
The soundtrack of this unlovable film comes from Nagisa ?shima’s anti-war film Merry Christmas on the Battlefield. In this film, Ryuichi Sakamoto made music for the film for the first time and became an actor for the first time.
"It seems that the death of Cyrus planted a seed in the heart of the wild well, and we shared the growth of the seed together."
Ryuichi Sakamoto’s oral autobiography "Music Makes People Free" mentioned his excitement when he received a call from Nagisa ?shima. As a veteran movie fan who has seen almost all the other’s works, when Nagisa ?shima offered to participate in the show,What Ryuichi Sakamoto blurted out was not "good", but "please let me do the music".
Nagisa ?shima, who was "very enterprising", readily agreed and gave him an unprecedented exception, allowing him to spend three months creating the music to his heart’s content.
After filming, Ryuichi Sakamoto, who still didn’t know anything about the soundtrack, listened to a friend’s suggestion and bought a video of "Milestone in Film History" and "Citizen Kane" to watch, and finally gained some experience. "The answer is very simple. It is probably where the image tension is insufficient. It is not mysterious to join the soundtrack."
Work photos of "Merry Christmas on the Battlefield"
Especially after discussing with Nagisa ?shima, I found that the two sides had quite the same opinion on where to add the soundtrack, which made Ryuichi Sakamoto’s self-confidence "swell to the extreme" and felt that the soundtrack of the movie was just so much.
Interestingly, Nagisa ?shima had actually invited david bowie, another star of the film, to create a soundtrack for the film before, but Bao Ye refused: "I just want to concentrate on my performance this time."
This wonderful butterfly effect opened the way for Ryuichi Sakamoto’s film soundtrack. Just like the stunning kiss between David’s captured Jack and Sakamoto’s Japanese officer, the film also planted seeds in his heart.
No matter in or out of the play, the friendship between the professor and Bao Ye at that time still excited countless people.
At the Cannes Film Festival in 1983, Merry Christmas on the Battlefield was selected as a competition film. At the banquet, Nagisa ?shima introduced Ryuichi Sakamoto to bernardo bertolucci. After a few pleasantries, Bertolucci dragged the young man to talk for a long time about his new film "The Last Emperor".
So three years later, Ryuichi Sakamoto came to Beijing to film The Last Emperor. This masterpiece, which swept the major film awards, even brought Ryuichi Sakamoto the first Oscar statuette in his life.
A piano that is out of tune has created 48 soundtracks in just two weeks. In those days, Ryuichi Sakamoto really had the capital of being young and frivolous.
Even after winning the Oscar, Bertolucci’s crazy deletion of the film soundtrack still made Ryuichi Sakamoto angry.
When Ryuichi Sakamoto joined The Last Emperor, the crew had been shooting for three months, and everyone was very involved. When we first met, John Lone, who played Puyi, said seriously to Ryuichi Sakamoto, who was fooling around."You are the black hand behind the scenes sent by Japan, and you are my enemy. I won’t talk to you until the film is finished."
Ryuichi Sakamoto only felt that this person was puzzling and didn’t take it to heart. It was not until he couldn’t get the director’s approval in a major event that he began to think a lot and take it seriously.
Unlike Nagisa ?shima, who dotes on him, Bertolucci’s film world has only one purpose-everything serves the film. Roaring directors, tight time constraints and lack of strict requirements for creative freedom have broadened the music world of Ryuichi Sakamoto.
"I don’t need it anymore!" /"The Last Emperor" screenshot
In the scene where the imperial concubine Wenxiu left Puyi, Wenxiu refused the umbrella handed by the housekeeper and ran away in the rain."I don’t need it anymore", the music started.When the Italian staff first heard Rain, everyone hugged each other and couldn’t help shouting "bellissimo (beautiful), bellissimo!"
"If the soundtrack can connect the movie into the memory in the audience’s consciousness, it is an ideal state." Music that can retain memory is Ryuichi Sakamoto’s understanding of film soundtrack.
"Good evening, I’m Ryuichi Sakamoto. Everyone is very cold. If you feel cold, it doesn’t matter if you stand up and run at will. Please listen to this performance easily."
Ryuichi Sakamoto found the calendar when he visited a building in Fukushima, and the time was fixed on March 11th.
After the 311 earthquake in Japan, Ryuichi Sakamoto went to the hardest hit area to bring a performance to the local victims. In this performance, he played Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence again.
Many people at the scene said,After such a long time, they can finally have a real sleep.After suffering, it is enough to bring a good sleep. Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.
Don’t forget to look at the moon every day
"How many times can you see the full moon in your life? There may be twenty times, but at the moment everything seems to have no end. "
Among the new album Async released in 2017, full moon is Ryuichi Sakamoto’s favorite song. In this piece, Ryuichi Sakamoto repeated a line from the film "The Covered Sky" which he once participated in, superimposed and repeated in 11 languages.
How many times can we look up at the moon in our life? /Screenshot of "Covered Sky"
Because we don’t know when we will die, we often regard life as an inexhaustible well.
When Async was released, Ryuichi Sakamoto was interviewed by NHK TV and asked how he wanted to burn it out. He thought for a moment and replied, "there is a strong idea, that is."Don’t lie to yourself, want to make real music, live truly, and don’t forget to look at the moon every day. "
Since suffering from throat cancer in 2014, Ryuichi Sakamoto, a workaholic who has never stopped working in her twenties, got a rest for the first time.
"Be sure to pay attention to oral hygiene, although my back teeth may have rotted away." /Screenshot of "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Finale"
"Although I eat organic food, I usually pay attention to it, but I will still get sick when I am sick." Ryuichi Sakamoto, who never thought that cancer would happen to her, was shocked and depressed and chose to accept it. "Absolutely can put an end to cancer lifestyle or something, there is definitelyno..When you have cancer, you can only get used to it. This is life. "
Repeatedly low-grade fever, dysphagia, because the secretion of sick saliva is only half of that before, I often wake up several times in the middle of the night to drink water. In addition to talking to people, he often chews gum when he is alone, in order to promote saliva secretion.
During the long and arduous process of receiving treatment, Ryuichi Sakamoto was in a state of being unable to listen to any music, until after the treatment, he heard the singing of Cuban national treasure female singer Omara Portuondo for the first time.
That "Rabo de nube" made him cry, as if suddenly his heart was broken by a powerful hand. "At that time, I felt that the power of music was sometimes really great."
The last time I felt the greatness of music, I probably went back to 2001. When the September 11th incident happened that year, Ryuichi Sakamoto lived in a place where he could see the Twin Towers when he opened the window. It was the first time that he faced the disaster so closely.
Seven days later, people gathered in the square to pray for the victims, and young people sang "Yesterday". Ryuichi Sakamoto realized that,It turns out that he hasn’t heard music for seven days.
"When disaster comes, there is nothing we can do. But after the disaster, we should respond instead of silence. "

Why is our world so violent? This made Ryuichi Sakamoto want to explore the origin of life.
So, in February 2002, Ryuichi Sakamoto went to Kenya in Africa. By the river where people lived, he was born."Only love can overcome hate."The idea. In 2008, he went to the North Pole again and realized."I will die at any time."Small.
After the 2011 earthquake, after visiting Fukushima, Ryuichi Sakamoto was determined to carry out the "anti-nuclear" to the end. In 2012, he co-sponsored the NO NUKES (Abolishing Nuclear Power) Music Festival with many Japanese celebrities. Until last year, it has been held for 8 consecutive sessions.
In 2020, the NO NUKES Music Festival will be stopped once. "It’s always the same artists and guests. I have felt this dilemma in recent times. If this continues, I am afraid that the scope of influence will not become bigger." Recently, Ryuichi Sakamoto told Music Hiking magazine that,stopDo it to prepare for new changes.
The professor gave a speech at the anti-nuclear rally.
Next year will be the 10th anniversary of the March 11th earthquake in Japan, and the music festival will start again in 2021. This time, they communicated with more people, led by young people, hoping to turn it into a framework that can solve many problems.
As he said in Sakamoto Ryuichi: The Finale, the sound of the piano is not continuous, but will gradually weaken and disappear. And what he wants to find is the constant, timeless music in his heart.
"Music, work and life have a starting point and an end point.What I want to create now is music that gets rid of the time limit."What Ryuichi Sakamoto wants to do is music that people will listen to 100 years later, which is music that needs peace.

My music is an island.
And the world is an infinite ocean.
In the scene of "The Finale", Ryuichi Sakamoto squatted on the ice sheet in the Arctic Circle and carefully hung the recording equipment with a rope to sink, so as to record the sound of running water under the glacier crack. "I’m fishing for the sound," he said with a smile.
He is listening to the heartbeat of the world.
Because there are no humans, the professor thinks that the sound of running water in the Arctic Circle is the purest sound in the world. /Screenshot of "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Finale"
In other scenes of the documentary, Ryuichi Sakamoto often collects sounds: in order to listen to the sound of rain falling, he puts a bucket on his head and walks into the rain; Going to the forest, he knocked with a small stick and listened to the vibration of the wind passing through the forest; Back home, he began to work by playing the recorded natural sounds.
"Every time it rains, I open the window and put the recorder out." Ryuichi Sakamoto will knock on what he sees anywhere and know their sounds. In Barcelona, a patrol car whistled past, and he quickly took out his mobile phone recording, happy that he didn’t miss the sound.
Everything is music.This statement from American composer John Cage is very popular with Ryuichi Sakamoto. Nature’s voice mingles with artificial musical instruments, which is the natural music he pursues.

When Ryuichi Sakamoto was traveling in Bali in 1980s, he saw the local people tying a pigeon whistle on its feet. When it was released, the pigeon whistle made a distant and near sound, which was mixed with the long wind and the sound of the forest, which made him unforgettable.
Therefore, when he was the director of Sapporo Art Festival in 2014, the opening ceremony designed by Ryuichi Sakamoto did not play music, but let a group of pigeons with pigeon whistle fly.
The beginning of "disintegration" in "Async" is a slightly strange piano sound out of tune. And this piano sound comes from a piano that "miraculously survived" from the tsunami.
"The sea slams the piano, which is inaccurate for human beings. But in essence, they just restored the original state in nature. " Ryuichi Sakamoto believes that,The piano is only tuned naturally, and he thinks it is particularly beautiful.
"You should be good." /Screenshot of "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Finale"
Ryuichi Sakamoto, who has been fond of Natsume Soseki since middle school, has a complete set of his works at home. Natsume Soseki’s seemingly casual natural scenery always gives him inspiration and aftertaste.
"I went to pick up the pieces of stardust that fell to the ground and gently put them on the soil. The star is round, perhaps in the long process of falling, and the edges and corners are gradually worn away.But when I picked up the film, I felt a little warmth on my chest and hands. "
Ryuichi Sakamoto, who collects nature, is like the boy in Natsume Soseki’s Dream of Ten Nights. His voice is the warm fragments of stardust left by nature.
He feels the world in nature and then gives back to it. And the meaning of the documentary Coda,It is the end, living to death, and the next beginning.
The finale is also the beginning. /Screenshot of "Sakamoto Ryuichi: Finale"
In Thirteen Invitations, Ryuichi Sakamoto fiddled with a guitar and said that he would play it like this when he was happy.
"I adjusted the tone is wrong, completely wrong.But I just like the wrong tone. "
Just like he liked the piano that survived the tsunami, like in 2018, he played an tuneless instrument in an underground bar in Beijing.
What he likes is the process of returning to nature after suffering.
