CCTV News:Since the beginning of 2019, the topic of "Ten-year Challenge" has become popular on some social media. But in fact, in the past ten years, not only our own appearance has changed, but also the natural environment on the earth has changed a lot. Recently, more and more environmental protection organizations and enthusiastic netizens have joined the topic of "Ten-year Challenge" and released many shocking photos to remind people that environmental protection is imminent.

　　This group of photos was taken in the Rhone Glacier in Switzerland. By comparison, it can be seen that the large glaciers that were originally frozen firmly basically disappeared after ten years due to climate warming and melted into lakes.

Large icebergs melt with only a layer of floating ice, but on top of the accelerating melting ice.

Polar bears, which are getting more and more difficult to feed, are in extremely poor living conditions.

The rising ocean temperature has also led to the decrease of algae on which corals depend, and large-scale bleaching of corals has occurred in many areas.

　　Satellite images show that the coverage of Arctic sea ice has also been significantly reduced, with only a layer of floating ice left in the huge iceberg. On top of the accelerated melting ice, polar bears, which are increasingly difficult to feed, are bony and their living conditions are extremely bad. The rising ocean temperature has also led to the decrease of algae on which corals depend, and large-scale bleaching of corals has occurred in many areas.

　　On land, the deterioration of the natural environment can not be underestimated: the water level of a lake in California has dropped significantly, and the drought has made the once lush Amazon rainforest devastated … …

Drought has devastated the once lush Amazon rainforest … …

　　The rapid deterioration of the natural environment has worried many people. Some netizens made this set of contrast pictures to remind everyone that if the deterioration trend is not improved, the number of creatures in the ocean may drop sharply after ten years, thus becoming lifeless.

　　In all these shocking changes, one thing will not change: the plastic bottle that was thrown on the beach ten years ago will remain intact in the sea ten years later. In fact, it is not only ten years, but it will take hundreds of years for plastic products to degrade naturally. By that time, what will the natural environment on earth look like?

1905 movie network news On August 29th, sponsored by the Beijing Office of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Beijing Broadway Film Center planned "Life is like sending, sharing with you without regrets — — The event "Tribute and Special Presentation" was held in Beijing.

Liang Zhiren, director of the Beijing Office of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, attended the event and delivered a speech, thanking Chen Musheng and Ng Man Tat for their contributions to the Hong Kong film industry, and expressing the deep thoughts of the audience who love Hong Kong films. Actors, producers, and spokespersons of the Hong Kong Film Workers’ Federation also had an on-line exchange with the audience, tracing back two dead friends from a distance and telling little-known career stories behind them. On the same day, the event also arranged to show two films, old and new, to pay tribute to filmmakers Chen Musheng and Ng Man Tat.

At present, "Anger Serious Case" is being shown in cinemas, with a box office of over one billion yuan and a good reputation, leaving no regrets for director Chen Musheng’s "legacy". "If there is love in heaven" was his "debut" presented to the audience 30 years ago. Apart from his achievements and starring role, this film also helped Ng Man Tat, the "golden supporting actor", win the most important personal honor in his film career.

As a close friend of the two filmmakers, actor Tian Qiwen was invited to connect with the live fans on the day of the event to share his precious memories with Chen Musheng and Ng Man Tat. In 1979, Tian Qiwen and Chen Musheng joined the TV station together. Although they didn’t have a chance to really cooperate, Tian Qiwen always respected each other very much. When the news of director Chen Musheng’s death came, he was filming with the director on the set. Both of them were saddened by the loss of an excellent creator in the industry. Now, seeing the success of Anger Serious Case, Tian Qiwen feels a little relieved to some extent.

The friendship between Tian Qiwen and Ng Man Tat is even deeper. Both of them have not only created rich supporting roles in movies, but also are old friends who talk about everything outside the play. Although the outside world always refers to Ng Man Tat as a "golden supporting role", in Tian Qiwen’s mind, the other party has always been the absolute "first hero" of his wonderful life.

He also sent a message to young people, don’t ignore the real value of a film creation in order to compete for the so-called "fan position": "If a scene in a play is wonderful enough, then I can be a supporting role. If the audience still doesn’t like or remember you after shooting a lot of plays, what’s the point of this so-called protagonist?"

On the same day, Tian Qiwen also revealed for the first time a piece of news that made many Hong Kong film fans feel sorry: at the memorial service in Ng Man Tat, Andy Lau revealed that he had prepared a new script for Ng Man Tat, not only the characters were tailor-made according to his personality, but also he was looking forward to co-starring with him as a "double male host". Now, Andy Lau doesn’t know who else can play this script, so the project is put on hold indefinitely.

From "Love in Heaven" to "Anger Serious Case", Chen Musheng and Ng Man Tat’s works not only record the creative enthusiasm of Hong Kong filmmakers, but also will become eternal youthful memories of generations of fans.

Special feature of 1905 film network As of press time, the box office has broken 3.3 billion, and the number of people watching movies is 68.97 million, ranking first in the year.If you also went to the cinema to watch YOLO, it is not difficult to find an interesting phenomenon:With the end of the feature film, even some theater lights have been lit, but the audience who should have left the scene one after another was deeply attracted by the various "behind the scenes" at the end of the film and stopped to watch.

In particular, the rolling "weight loss memo" recorded her detailed course of losing nearly 100 kilograms from 210 kilograms on January 4, 2023 to 117 kilograms on November 24.

In addition to the digital changes, "the first time I crossed my legs!" "I have an ankle! ""Mom, I’m so tired! " Waiting for the real and lovely inner OS makes people smile, and I believe that people who have lost weight will resonate very much.

Jia Ling Weight Loss Memorandum (Duplicate Edition)

The last sentence "You only live once, right?" With the picture of Jia Ling wearing a white dress and smiling in the wind at the seaside, the audience was even more moved, and many occasions spontaneously applauded.

The "ending" and "opening" are both indispensable parts of the film. In order to increase the interest of watching movies and enhance the "sense of leaving the scene", many films have also used this space and time to "fancy the whole life".

In addition to the common operations such as the cast list, beautiful ending songs and eggs, what other ending ideas of Chinese films make people want to see the last second?

Trivia can’t stop

It is a common way to deal with the ending of the film, especially the old Hong Kong films, by showing the shooting tidbits and NG pictures next to the ending subtitles, revealing the behind-the-scenes work scenes of the film and showing the atmosphere of the crew or joy or devotion.

At THE END of the comedy of Star Master, most of the hilarious tidbits are released, and all kinds of old partners are as wonderful as the feature film in their laughter and lip-synching scenes, which greatly adds points to the overall "laughter" of the film, and the final "The End" is full of nostalgia, making people want to skip it for a second.

From the beginning of 42 years ago, cutting the shooting tidbits into the end of the film has become a special link in the film.

There are not only funny NG clips, but also pictures of accidents and injuries during slapping, which makes people feel very distressed and often tears when they laugh.

Last year, the film also adopted this method, and the 69-year-old brother still went into battle in person in the face of difficult movements. Jackie Chan once said that this was to let the audience see that all the movements were completed with desperate efforts, without body double and special effects.

"True story" appeared

With the soaring popularity of realistic themes, there are more and more movies based on real people and hot topics in society. Showing the prototype of characters or events at the end will enhance the "realism" and "impact" and boost the realistic power of the film, by going up one flight of stairs.

At the end of the film, the old photos and life stories of Jia Ling’s mother, Li Huanying, emerge one by one. "It was a mother and a teenage girl." The deep affection between mother and daughter in this play adds another touch to the film.

New mainstream films based on real events also choose to add real news pictures or prototype images at the end of the film.

The Captain actors take photos with prototype characters.

The ending of "Ordinary Heroes" shows the follow-up life of prototype characters.

There is also a group photo of thousands of medical workers at the end of the film; Group portrait of ordinary strugglers at the end of the film;

The spiritual inheritance of several generations of railway soldiers in the ending reality; As well as in the past, the real pictures of several overseas emergency evacuation operations emerged at the end of the film, which continued to shock and move the audience.

Group portrait of medical workers at the end of Chinese Doctors’s film

The Real Image of Overseas Chinese Evacuation at the End of Wan Li’s Return.

It is even more ingenious to add the last recording of the real test pilot before his sacrifice at the end of the film.

The phrase "I can’t return, you keep moving forward" is just a sound that makes people cry, making people truly feel the greatness of the test pilot measuring the limit with his life.

Most films that focus on social issues will continue to show and discuss the social and practical significance of the film at the end of the film and sublimate the theme.

The ending of "Put all your eggs in one basket" is the "personal statement" of the witnesses of overseas fraud crimes. The inhuman treatment they suffered and the difficulty of cross-border arrest by China police have made people more convinced that it is imperative to crack down on telecom fraud and promote anti-fraud among the whole people.

At the end of the film, Dying to Survive shows the continuous progress of policies related to anticancer drugs in reality, which highlights the practical significance of the film.

The ending of the theme of "anti-domestic violence" consists of interviews with victims of domestic violence in reality, calling on every audience to bravely say no to domestic violence!

"Emotional killing" Laman

"In the vast starry sky, only your back is left, the Milky Way has condensed into ice, and the memory has crossed the tears." The first sentence of the ending song of the Spring Festival movie was sung, and the memories of the past ten years came like a flood.

With Logger Vick, Xiong Da and Xiong Er as the lead singers, this 10th anniversary theme song "Walking with You Again" was re-arranged by selecting 12 well-known "Bear Infested" songs, which appeared at the end of the film and instantly filled the audience with the feelings of "bear fans".

The director’s debut film takes the famous song Later as a tear gas at the end of the film.

On the screen, the chorus of thousands of people from all over the country and different ages also triggered a tearful chorus in the audience, pushing the mood of watching movies to the highest point.

"I don’t know what I like at first, but then I listen to it." How many of us, listening to Later, became "later us".

Chorus at the end of "Later Us"

Last summer’s animated film explosion was a creative combination of Tang poetry recitation and ink scroll.

Dialects in all corners of the country recite famous works through the ages, and the powerful recitation of adults is intertwined with the immature children’s voices, as if a dialogue between modern people and the ancients crossed time and space, which successfully awakened the cultural pride engraved in the DNA of the audience.

From history to the present, at the end of the film, Chinese sons and daughters from all walks of life from all over the country are also assembled to sing My People，My Country together, which perfectly fits the theme of the film, so that every ordinary little person can resonate with the same frequency of the great era.

Why can’t we miss the "ending"?

From the beginning, there was only the word "the end of the play" or "the end", and now the fancy design is becoming more and more perfect and colorful, and the ending of the film is also "rolled up" like the content of the feature film.

Although these carefully designed film endings are different in form and content, they are all a continuation, expansion and sublimation of the theme and emotion of the feature film, and also allow the audience who are still wanting to continue their own viewing experience. If the film endings can be used to set off a "small climax" again, it can achieve the effect of "endless words and endless meanings".

At the end of the film, it was revealed that every dog actor was treated well.

In recent years, the concept of "sense of leaving" has been repeatedly mentioned by the industry. What emotions the audience left the cinema with, whether they were moved or shocked or disappointed, will directly affect the overall impression and word-of-mouth evaluation of the film.

The original ending design can obviously help the "sense of leaving", and then enhance the audience’s impression of the whole film.

"Hot Dance" at the end of the film

In addition, while enjoying these creative contents, don’t ignore another core content at the end of the film, that is, the "cast list".

Every film is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the staff behind the scenes. The director of the trilogy of deities once voiced in the roadshow: the names of nearly 10,000 masters formed a rolling list for nearly 6 minutes, hoping that the audience could watch the end of the film before leaving. "They all contributed their talents and enthusiasm to dedicate such a work to the audience."

Therefore, at the next movie, you might as well listen to the ending song and watch the ending before you go. You may find unexpected and wonderful content, which is also the greatest respect for the creators.

1905 movie networkSince the release of Xunxun, the cumulative box office first won $200 million, and then it successfully broke through the 1.4 billion yuan mark, setting a new record in one fell swoop and becoming Warner Bros.’s best work at the box office in China. At the same time, the word-of-mouth of the box office soared rapidly, and the film today exposed the word-of-mouth video of "bloody war".

The box office triumphed all the way, and the praise was like a flush.　

Since "Neptune" was first released in China on December 7th, the box office has made great strides, with the cumulative box office exceeding 200 million US dollars (about 1.38 billion RMB) in 13 days, and then easily surpassing the 1.4 billion RMB mark, which not only became the most popular blockbuster of DC superhero system in China, but also successfully surpassed Ready Player One’s box office performance and became Warner Bros.’s first box office masterpiece in China.

James Wan’s unique underwater spectacle, "Changing the world of superheroes", takes people on an unprecedented underwater adventure, and is known as "an epic adventure for everyone". Whether it’s the seven undersea families with skills, the marine life that subverts imagination, or the magnificent Atlantis kingdom, people can’t help but sigh "incredible", "magnificent" and "creating the world"!

"Neptune brothers" are handsome and play a good high-energy circle to harvest the girl’s heart.

　In the movie, Hai Wang Yase propped up the whole land and sea world by himself, and captured countless hearts with high energy. His half-brother Om was as charming as his brother, and unexpectedly became a "villain" loved by female audiences after being released. King Om of Ocean Master, played by Patrick Wilson, won the titles of "The First Love Bean of Atlantis" and "King Om of the National Idol" sealed by netizens with his handsome modeling comparable to that of the Elf King. "I like Om very much, so handsome, and the wayward way is cute, so I throw back the garbage in the sea"!

After watching the film, many netizens couldn’t help but dig deeply into the story of Omna, and all the behind-the-scenes tidbits simply accelerated into the pit’s assists. For example, Wilson, as the royal actor of director James Wan, has cooperated with Wen Director in the series of Evocation and Latency, and the mysterious and unforgettable hairstyle of Omna in Neptune actually saved the director’s budget for making hair floating special effects.

"Neptune" is directed by James Wan and co-starred by powerful Hollywood actors such as Jason Momoa (), Amber Heard (""), Patrick Wilson (series of movies), Nicole Kidman (), willem dafoe () and Yahya Abdul-Maidin (Netflix "Youth Hip-hop Dream"). The film is being shown nationwide.

After the major safety incident of the ride on August 25, Didi announced that it would go offline indefinitely to rectify the ride. At the same time, Gao De also announced the off-line windmill business that has just been laid out. Since then, the ride business has become a "hot potato" that major platforms dare not touch easily.

However, according to the ride data released by Didi in June 2016, during the one-year period from June 1, 2015, when the business was launched to May 31, 2016, Didi’s ride platform transported a total of 200 million trips, with a total mileage of 2.996 billion kilometers, more than 30 million passengers and 343 cities covered.

This is a market to be reckoned with. Just under the hot search comment that Didi is facing rectification, there are still many users asking in the buzz, "When will Didi Shunfeng resume operation? It’s inconvenient to go to work. "Then this comment was echoed by a large number of users, and everyone’s demand for hitchhiking varied.

After Didi closed its free ride business, this cake gradually flowed into the hands of Dida Inc., whose market share was second only to Didi. Although Dida Inc. did not announce the business data of the ride, you can see the announcement on the app after opening Dida Inc.:

This announcement also reflects the rigidity of the demand for hitchhiking — — Even if there are security risks, there are still a large number of users who rely on hitchhiking.

At the same time, this announcement also reflects the obvious growth of Dida Inc.’s hitchhiking business. After Didi closed the hitchhiking service, many consumers and car owners began to move to the previously tepid Dida Inc. platform.

During the visit, when asked, "Why do you dare to take a ride after another accident?", a consumer replied,

"My home is 20 kilometers away from the company. It takes an hour and a half for the bus to transfer twice. If there is a traffic jam, it will take longer. It’s too late. The ride is very cheap and it’s very convenient from point to point. “

"The risk of hitchhiking in the city is much lower. The car owners who usually meet are office workers. They just make some oil money on the way. I may not take the intercity hitchhiking. There are many hitchhiking trips that run intercity. It is actually doing this business, not on the way, and the risk is relatively high."

From the definition of sharing, hitchhiking is a real "shared trip", which can make full use of idle vehicle resources in society, and the advantages of cost and price make it still have a great market space in the future.

After all, where there is demand, there will be a market.

This rectification for the network car is undoubtedly the most stringent in history. After the storm, Didi may still be the "boss" on the field, but other online car platforms will take this opportunity to win more markets.

Next, the travel market needs to face the problem of "how to balance compliance and capacity demand". After all, the pain point in the peak period still exists, and the market in short supply may be even more in short supply. The People’s Daily also issued a document saying that "the rectification of the network car is not to let the market return to the era of black car flooding."

It can be expected that the problem of market capacity demand will eventually spread to all online car platforms, and it is expected to gradually change from Didi’s "one big one" to multi-platform competition.

Therefore, how to seize this opportunity, do a good job of differentiated services and improve the retention rate of users who flood in in the short term is the strategic focus to be faced next. At this point, Didi, which only does taxi and hitchhiking, is very eye-catching in many platforms.

There are only five days left, so it is now or never.

190 movie network feature Did you brush Weibo every day recently, and see a movie sweeping over a dozen awards and becoming a big winner? Or is there another award that is a big surprise?Many people may have seen these faces more recently than in previous years.

That’s because at the end of the year, the film circle will also start the "year-end summary". This is what we usually call the award season. In layman’s terms, it is the annual meeting or tail tooth of the film industry.

What is hollywood awards season?

From the end of each year to the beginning of the second year, the results of major film awards in North America are announced one by one. Different awards are given every day, and this situation has been going on for more than three months.

During this period, how frequently are awards given? For example, casey affleck, who won the Oscar for Best Actor last year, once set a new record by winning seven Best Actors in one day.

These three months are a concentrated assessment of the film circle, starting with the Gotham Independent Film Award in November and ending with the Academy Awards in late February and early March, which is what we call hollywood awards season.

What awards are there in hollywood awards season?

The awards awarded by hollywood awards season can be basically divided into the following categories: the first category is awards awarded by the media or film critics; The second category is selected by film-related practitioners; There are also some, which aim at a relatively single field, but are more detailed and professional.

1、Film Critics Association Award

During the award season, the Film Critics Association covered every city in the United States, but the most important ones were Los Angeles, new york and Boston, which selected the awards with higher weight. Actually, if you think about it, it’s the same in China. There will be similar organizations in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, and the films they selected will have their own artistic considerations and regional habits.

The location of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association is exactly where the Oscars are held, and its personnel composition accounts for a large proportion of the Oscar voting groups. The taste of the New York Film Critics Association is more advanced, encouraging the vanguard, and the selected results are bolder. The taste of the Boston Film Critics Association is even more special, and foreign language films are favored here.

In addition, some cities also have online film critics association awards. They are composed of a group of film critics who are active on the Internet. Among them, the winners selected by the New York Online Film Critics Association usually have different results from the Oscars, but the situation has changed in recent years.

In addition to these, the United States has also established the Women Film Critics Association, the African American Film Critics Association and the Black Film Critics Association.

The Black Film Critics Association was independent from the African-American Film Critics Association in 2010, because some members couldn’t stand the fact that some people ignored other films and the overall actual level in order to praise the works of African-American filmmakers. This year, the African American and Black Film Critics Association awarded the best film to and respectively.

Of course, there is also the most important association award, that is, the Radio and Film Critics Association Award, which has now been renamed the Critics’ Choice Award. At one time, its weight was higher than the Golden Globe Award, and the results of important awards coincided with the Oscar. This year’s critics’ choice award went to the best film.

2、Trade union award

Trade union awards are awards from different professions selected by Hollywood film and television industry practitioners, including producers’ trade union award, directors’ trade union award, Screen Actors Guild Awards, writers’ trade union award, editing trade union award, etc., covering a single award awarded by Oscar. Among them, producer, director and Screen Actors Guild Awards have great influence on the final result of Oscar.

3、Professional awards

There are some professional awards in the award season, such as Animated Annie Award. It is the Oscar of animation, and its awards are detailed in various fields such as role production, role design, visual effects and dubbing. This year, 11 awards swept the Annie Award, which can be said to have won the Oscar for best animated feature film ahead of schedule.

In addition, there are special awards for independent films — — Gotham Independent Film Award and independent spirit awards. The Gotham Independent Film Award was founded by the Independent Film Producers Association in 1991, and its importance is second only to Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of each year. Most of the winning films are director’s first films, and they have not been shown in theaters on a large scale.

The independent spirit awards is held every year on the day before the Oscar is announced, and it is also a very important award in independent films, aiming at encouraging independent filmmakers’s creation. In this year’s awards season, "Please Call Me by Your Name" and Lady Bird’s "Escape from Breaking Town" are all independent films, and they have also won some awards in these two important independent films.

4、Media reporter award

During the award season, there are two awards selected and awarded by journalists, namely the Golden Globe Award and the Golden Satellite Award. The Golden Globe Award was founded by hollywood foreign press association and its members are journalists from outside North America. They set up the award in 1943, and only need to publish four paid articles every year to become one of them.

There have been many inconsistencies between the results of the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars, which are considered to deviate from the role of the weather vane. However, the Golden Globe awards are often accurate in predicting the Oscar in terms of actors. In addition, more than 7,000 members voted for the Oscar, and only 90 journalists voted for the Golden Globe, so it is inevitable that the results will be inconsistent.

The Golden Satellite Award, known as the "Golden Ball Award", was founded in 1996 by a non-American journalist organization in hollywood foreign press association. The Golden Satellite Award, like the Golden Globe Award, covers the fields of film and television, and there are also some awards for new media.

5、Other awards

In addition to the above, in recent years, there are some awards from non-North America that have had an important predictive and guiding effect on the Oscar, and are also counted in the award season that we often say. The British Film Academy Award is the most famous one.

The British Film Academy Award in London belongs to the British Academy Award, and most of the results in recent years are consistent with the Oscars. The British Film Academy Award biosca pays more attention to some unpopular films, and even has a certain influence on the results of the Oscar. Previously, many Chinese also nominated for the British Film Academy Award.

In addition, the awards of british independent film awards and London Film Critics Association belong to the awards season. Although british independent film awards honors outstanding local independent films, there are often Oscar-winning films. For example, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri won many nominations this year.

　　China Journal Global Online News: From October 29th to November 6th, 1956, Britain and France joined forces with Israel to wage war against Egypt in order to gain control of the Suez Canal. The confrontation between Egypt and Britain and France is the main contradiction, but because Israel volunteered to join the Anglo-French aggression group, this war has more or less the nature of Arab-Israeli war.

　　Background: Suez Canal dispute

　　The Suez Canal is an international navigation canal in Egypt, with a total length of 175 kilometers. It connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, and it is the main road connecting Europe, Asia and Africa, and its strategic position is very important. On July 26, 1956, the Egyptian government announced that the Suez Canal Company would be nationalized and all the company’s property would be handed over to Egypt. In order to regain control of the Suez Canal, Britain and France planned to hold a conference on "international control" of the Canal. On Octobe 13, that security Council rejected the proposal of Britain and France that Egypt accept the "international management" system. In this case, Britain and France decided to use force to solve the problem. In order to solve the problem of insufficient troops, France first invited Israel to join.

　　Process: The Egyptian people fought bravely.

　　On the afternoon of October 29th, about 395 people from a battalion of the Israeli 202nd Parachute Brigade invaded the Egyptian Sinai airspace by 16 Dakota transport planes and parachuted on the east side of the mitra Pass, 65km east of the Suez Canal, thus opening the prelude to the Suez Canal War.

　　Britain and France dispatched 80,000 naval, land and air forces. They originally planned to occupy Port Said within 24 hours, Ismailia on November 8, and Suez on November 12, under the powerful fire attack of 80,000 naval, land and air forces dispatched by Britain and France, thus ending the whole battle of occupying the canal.

　　The end: Britain and France have no choice but to withdraw their troops.

　　The Egyptian people’s struggle against British, French and Israeli aggression was supported by Arab countries. Under the pressure of world public opinion, the United Nations came forward to solve this crisis. On November 1, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a proposal for an immediate ceasefire and withdrawal. On November 6, Britain and France were forced to accept a ceasefire. On December 22nd, all British and French troops withdrew from Egypt.

　　After Britain and France withdrew their troops from Egypt, the parties concerned fought fiercely around the issue of Israeli withdrawal from Sinai and Gaza. Israel has been procrastinating on the issue of withdrawing troops. Under the pressure of all parties, Israel was forced to announce its withdrawal on November 21, 1956, but the progress was slow. Until March 8, 1957, Israeli troops withdrew from Gaza. At this point, Britain and France declared bankruptcy with their plans to invade Egypt, and the Egyptian people won the final victory in their anti-aggression struggle.

　　Significance: Great geopolitical changes in the Middle East

　　After the Second Middle East War, the United States has replaced Britain and France, constantly consolidating and strengthening the influence of funds, and the former Soviet Union is also eager to step up its penetration into the Middle East and gradually gain a foothold.

　　After the war, the colonial rule of Britain and France in the Middle East suffered a devastating blow. By the end of 1950s, the colonial rule of the two old colonial countries in the Middle East basically ended. The United States took the opportunity to use this war to attack, weaken and crowd out the forces of Britain and France in the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union also wanted to take the opportunity to infiltrate Arab countries and gain a place in the Middle East. In addition, the United States and the Soviet Union played a decisive role in the threat of Britain, France and Israel.

Core points:

1. Rural men are more keen on gambling, fishing and keeping dogs, while women love playing short videos. The value of men’s hard work to earn money to support their families has been fully affirmed, while the contribution of women to housework at home has been underestimated. Rural women can make their value "seen" through short videos.

2. 54-year-old aunt Liu has 5000 fans and once brought goods for a merchant. Aunt Liu soon found that it was not easy to introduce products online and mobilize fans’ desire to buy. Aunt Liu has been busy for three months, and only sold two products. The sales volume is 150 yuan.

3. Rural women began to pay attention to Tanabata, Valentine’s Day and 520, and a wave of "middle-aged romance" arose. These romantic words enter the minds of middle-aged women through short videos. In emotional expression, they become more active and enthusiastic. The middle-aged romance of rural women caused her husband’s discomfort.

What happens when rural women encounter short videos?

Li Dan and his team have been conducting field surveys in rural areas for a long time. In the first half of 2023, he and several students shuttled through Xi Village in the North China Plain. The villagers were addicted to the sight of brushing short videos and caught their eyes irresistibly: in remote villages near the Yellow River beach, almost all left-behind women under the age of 75 brushed short videos and played selfies.

This scene also made Li Dan ask the following questions:Why do rural women embrace short videos so enthusiastically? In what way and strength did the short video shape the spiritual world of rural women? What impact does short video have on rural governance?

The following is Li Dan’s account.

Why are rural women "addicted" to short videos?

My 54-year-old aunt Liu impressed me deeply.

Aunt Liu is the leader of Aauto Quicker in the village, with 5,000 fans and 100,000 praises. She is truly the "Queen of Aauto Quicker". However, most people in the village don’t know her name, just call her "Zheng Quan’s" and "Little Grandma Pippi". A village network big V who has been married to the village for 32 years and started a kindergarten in the village for more than 10 years turned out to be an "unknown person" attached to her husband and children!

Xicun women brush short videos.

Playing short videos is a common phenomenon among rural women.

On the one hand, the number of rural men playing short videos is significantly lower than that of women. Rural men are more keen on gambling, fishing and keeping dogs, while women love playing short videos.

On the other hand, rural men just watch short videos, while women are keen to shoot short videos themselves. A few rural women are not so "addicted" to short videos, mainly because they are busy. These people will look at women who play short videos with envy and think that their lives are leisurely and fashionable.

I summarize the behavior of rural women playing short videos into three aspects.

First, zero cost becomes beautiful. The short video platform provides online "cosmetic box" and "cloakroom", so that rural women can experience beauty, beauty, body and filter at zero expense.

Second, daily appearance. Although they love filter beauty, they just play online and don’t buy cosmetics and jewelry specifically for selfies.

Third, low frequency update. Middle-aged women find it important to control the frequency of short video updates, otherwise they will be regarded as "idleness" and "doing nothing". At present, the 13 most active middle-aged women in Xicun basically only send a short video every week.

In this era of the whole people, rural women soldiers is a huge team. Rural women’s "addiction" to short videos is a way to kill their leisure time. Once they are free, women may pay more attention to their own emotional experience and feel empty and bored more easily. Nowadays, rural areas are becoming increasingly hollow, and rural cultural life is shrinking. The palace fighting dramas and urban emotional dramas staged on TV are out of touch with rural life scenes, while a few rural dramas are far away from the personal life experiences of rural women. Radio, film and television are all carriers of elite cultural production and expression. In the face of film and television works, farmers are only passive recipients of information and educatees in front of the screen. The short video platform provides a zero-cost and low-tech expression channel for grassroots creation. With the help of short video platform, rural women can not only see the rural reality closest to their life experience, but also create short video works according to their own wishes.

The deeper reason is that rural women have long been on the edge of the countryside. The short video of going to the countryside provides a historic opportunity for rural women to appear.

For a long time, in the patriarchal rural family culture, women have been defined as the supporting role of "caring for each other and teaching their children". According to the family division of labor, the value of men’s hard work to earn money to support their families is fully affirmed, while women’s contribution to housework at home is ignored. Rural women who have been struggling for recognition can make their daily life and life value "seen" through short video platforms.

Not only brush, but also shoot, and some also bring goods.

The theme of rural women’s short video creation can be divided into two categories.

One is the personalized expression of rural women.Rural women create short videos, or tell about the difficulty of life online, or show their virtuous, capable and talented, or use short video platform tools to become young and beautiful girls with "white skin, long legs and thin waist" in seconds.

The other is the life sharing presentation of rural women.In the video with the theme of sharing life, 97% of the scenes are fields, construction sites, small workshops and other labor production places, and 3% of the scenes are life ceremonies such as birthday parties and holiday dinners.

Rural women play short videos mainly for daily entertainment. It is possible for rural women to make money by creating short videos, but this matter is not favored by villagers.

Aunt Liu, 54, has 5000 fans and once brought goods for a merchant. Aunt Liu soon found that it was not easy to introduce products online and mobilize fans’ desire to buy. Aunt Liu has been busy for three months, and only sold two products. The sales volume is 150 yuan.

There is a "online celebrity" in the countryside, but the villagers do not pursue "online celebrity".

21-year-old Tong Tong is good at singing and dancing. She was introduced to learn from a online celebrity "Sister Na" and joined her live broadcast team. After receiving the traffic blessing from Sister Na’s team, Tong Tong started her own live broadcast by singing and playing PK. Each live broadcast lasted about 3 hours. There were more than 8,000 people in the live broadcast room, with at least 20 people. In three months, the number of fans rose to 48,000, and the most earned live broadcast was 3,200 yuan, but the number of people was getting smaller and smaller. In June, they earned less than 1,000 yuan a month. Tong Tong had to reluctantly give up what one favours, turn off the live broadcast and go to Guangzhou to work. In the eyes of the villagers, even the young and beautiful, talented and well-run bunch ofred grapes have given up. It seems that it is not reliable to make money by becoming online celebrity.

In the villagers’ mind, "online celebrity" means "restless".Aunt Liu, the "Queen of Aauto Quicker" in the village, has more than 5,000 fans, but she is not regarded as online celebrity by the villagers. However, Yaju, with only 1,058 fans, was nicknamed "online celebrity in the Country" by the villagers. In rural discourse, "online celebrity" refers to those who have no job and want to make quick money by their faces. Xicun people have always pursued "hard work to get rich", but they don’t agree with the way of making money by attracting attention and flow, and regard it as "fooling around" and "fooling around".

Rural women play short videos, "not out of line"

There are significant differences between urban and rural areas when women play short videos.

From the perspective of time, urban women generally have fixed jobs and only have time to play short videos after work. Rural women have more leisure time and can play short videos for a long time.

From the perspective of meeting the needs of life, urban women have rich recreational channels, such as shopping malls, cinemas and concerts. Rural women are in a hollow village, and their material life and spiritual life are very scarce.

From the perspective of platform tools, there are more platforms for urban women to play short videos, including but not limited to Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker, Xiaohongshu, bilibili, WeChat video number and Weibo. The main platform for rural women to play short videos is Aauto Quicker.

A corner of hollow creek village

In China, which has a vast territory and a large population, the regional differences are very obvious. According to our team’s investigation in all parts of the country, the logic of rural women’s performance in short video platforms is quite different.

The experience of field research shows that in the rural areas of North China, where the village structure is strong, the online performance of rural women is proper and orderly. The creek village we investigated is located along the Yellow River in the North China Plain. Based on the observation of women’s new media practice behavior here, I summarize it as "not out of line".

In contrast, in areas with a high degree of atomization, the news that rural women have made vulgar and outrageous moves to gain eyeballs and save traffic is frequently seen in newspapers.

In my opinion, the online performance behavior of rural women is just the tip of the iceberg, and its roots are still there.Village social structure. When the authority and norms in rural areas are shrinking, rural women’s online performances lose the constraints of public opinion, and they are more motivated to maximize their income according to the market logic of realizing traffic.

Generally speaking, rural women who play short videos have some commonalities.

First, there is leisure.

There is age differentiation among rural women playing short videos. Middle-aged women under the age of 45 to 60 are the absolute main force. There are few young women in the village. They either go out to work or go to the county to accompany them. For middle-aged women, after their sons marry and have children, their main life tasks have been completed, so they can slow down the pace of life and begin to enjoy life.

Second, be willing to accept new things.

Older women over the age of 60 are usually illiterate and cannot operate smart phones. They are also reluctant to learn about new things, preferring to get together with their peers to chat, play mahjong and listen to plays. Middle-aged women have generally received secondary education, and they are also happy to learn about the information outside the village with short videos.

Third, be good at expressing.

Rural women not only like to watch short videos, but also are keen to shoot short videos themselves. For those optimistic and extroverted rural women, whether they are doing farm work, cooking, going to the market, or being in a daze, angry and crying, they all constitute reasons for taking short selfies.

"Middle-aged Romance" Sweeps Rural Women

By playing short videos, the frequency of interaction between rural women increased and their emotional identity improved. Anyone who has lived in the countryside knows that there were many opportunities for interaction between villagers in the past. Through visiting, watching movies together, cooking weddings and funerals, going to the market, helping workers, etc., the neighbors have close relations and frequent exchanges.

Nowadays, in the hollowed-out villages, there are fewer opportunities for everyone to get together, and interpersonal communication is sparse and cold. For rural women who play short videos, they show the characteristics of "holding a group to appear in the mirror". They encouraged each other and exchanged video shooting techniques, forming a "United front" for playing short videos.

By playing short videos, rural women become technically literate, romantic and expressive. For middle-aged rural women, there is a technical threshold for playing short videos. Their general education level is not high, and they have little contact with electronic equipment. By shooting short videos, their media technical literacy has been greatly improved. More crucially, with the help of short video platform, rural women can easily obtain knowledge and information about cities and distant places, and expand their cognition and imagination of a better life.

In recent years, rural women have begun to pay attention to Qixi, Valentine’s Day and 520, and a wave of "middle-aged romance" has arisen. These romantic words entered the minds of middle-aged women through short videos. In emotional expression, they become more active and enthusiastic. Whenever children, parents and husbands celebrate their birthdays, they will carry copies on the Internet, with pictures or videos, and express their blessings online.

Romantic Expression Course on Short Video Platform

Rural women’s playing short videos has a double influence on their family relations.

On the one hand, playing short videos by rural women helps to strengthen the emotional interaction of family members.

As mentioned above, through the short video platform, rural women who were not good at words began to pay attention to expressing their feelings. Rural women no longer stay in "knowing", but also begin to "have words in their mouths". From "I can’t open my mouth when I love you" to "I have to say it out loud when I love you", rural women show their self-confidence and calmness in front of the camera. As the connection point of family relationship, rural women make a small step forward in emotional expression, which can drive the emotional interaction of the whole family to make a big step forward.

On the other hand, playing short videos by rural women also has an impact on family relations.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the hottest topic in rural short videos. I was particularly impressed that several middle-aged women in their fifties were very anxious after watching some short videos of conflicts between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They began to discuss "how to be a good mother-in-law" or prepared to live alone with their only son early.

Generally speaking, women in Xicun are "not out of line". However, there are still individual deviant incidents. A woman in her forties often sent short videos of herself, which attracted the attention of a man in a neighboring village. Later, they were caught red-handed when they opened a room in a county hotel.

Besides, the middle-aged romance of rural women has caused her husband’s discomfort. Middle-aged rural men don’t like buying gifts and sending flowers, thinking that these are wasteful and not affordable. They don’t think there is anything special to celebrate on May 20, and they can’t figure out what these fancy festivals mean.The asymmetry change of middle-aged couples intensifies the incomprehension and friction between husband and wife.

Country life is changing.

Under the continuous influence of working economy, the frequency of social interaction in hollow villages has decreased sharply. When the new media enters Xi village, it has a positive impact on the interpersonal interaction within the village, inside and outside the village.

Liu Aiping, 60, usually doesn’t send short videos, but she watches Aauto Quicker updates from other women in the village. She said: "We are all from the same village. Let’s give a compliment, and we are all closed. I don’t talk at ordinary times, so I can chat with others and say hello when I meet them. Many of them should call me sister-in-law. "

After a rain in the summer of 2023, Grandma Pippi shouted to her neighbors through Aauto Quicker video: "Yingying, come and look at my house. Look how hard it is raining." After seeing this video, the villagers outside commented: "It’s raining really hard in our house". When the villagers say "Zanjia", they temporarily break away from the real barrier of physical space and gain an emotional experience of "being present together".

The main road of the empty creek village

Playing short videos does not bring economic income to rural women and will not directly improve their family status.However, playing short videos has broadened rural women’s ideological horizons and life concepts, which is helpful to enhance their soft power to participate in family development.

It has become a daily pastime for rural women to play short videos. Children are "technical consultants" for middle-aged women to play short videos. In 2016, middle-aged and elderly people in the village got their children’s eliminated mobile phones. At the same time, the young people in the village have grown into "technical predecessors", and they have taught their elders through "digital feedback".

Husband has no objection to middle-aged women playing short videos in principle. The middle-aged man in Xicun thinks, "It was all taken by the talent of Niangniang Haw, holding his mobile phone to his face and plate, and you can’t tell what you want to say. It’s really boring." They don’t shoot short videos themselves, but they don’t interfere with their wives. The mother-in-law at home either plays short videos with her daughter-in-law, or is isolated by the "digital divide" because she has no account.

When the short video swept the whole village, the villagers released the news of the village online through "mutual powder and mutual customs", forming an "online village information station". In particular, it needs to be emphasized that the villagers have changed their old acquaintances into fans through "mutual powder and mutual customs", and the online and offline interpersonal circles basically overlap. The public discourse system of Xicun flooded into the online space, and the social structure of semi-acquaintances controlled the online self-presentation of women in Xicun.

Short video and new media reshape rural governance.

On the whole, new media is accelerating the pace of modern transformation of rural society, and it also brings opportunities for rural governance under the background of urban and rural China.

First of all, the new media activates public life and realizes the public recreation of village leisure.

From the perspective of media use, the whole village no longer gathers at the head of the village to watch movies, but watches TV and brushes their mobile phones at home, and the way to meet the leisure in the village is becoming more and more personal. However, the popularity of live chat in rural areas has brought about topic control and enhanced the publicity of chat content.

Secondly, the new media continues the community memory and realizes the "local reconstruction" of the mobile social process.

On the one hand, new media promotes interpersonal interaction within villages. On the other hand, the new media connects those who leave the village with those who stay behind. Under the connection of new media, the villagers’ consciousness of "one of their own" has realized online reproduction.

Finally, new media cultivate social mentality and shape open and inclusive public opinion.

New media provide more channels for villages to obtain information and express their opinions, and at the same time break the traditional barriers to information dissemination. In this process, the new media has promoted more open, inclusive and diversified village public opinion.
