In this way, the United States missed the most critical 70 days of anti-epidemic. China Post investigated why Trump lost to the virus.

  On April 4th, Washington post launched this in-depth investigation article, which comprehensively and deeply reviewed the failure experience and deep reasons of the United States in the first 70 days of the coronavirus crisis. The article was based on 47 interviews with American government officials, public health experts, intelligence officials and other personnel involved in the fight against the epidemic.

  When Trump declared himself a wartime president and coronavirus was his enemy, the United States was facing such a terrible prospect that the number of people who eventually died in Covid-19 might exceed the sum of the Korean War, the Vietnamese War, the Afghan War and the Iraqi War.

  The United States adopted a series of wartime measures, which were never taken together in the country’s history, including banning inbound tourists from two continents, almost stagnant trade, recruiting industries that manufacture emergency medical equipment, and trapping 230 million Americans in their homes, all in an attempt to escape the attack of an invisible opponent.

  Despite all kinds of extreme measures, and the United States has always been considered to be the most well-prepared country to deal with epidemics, it was finally defeated by novel coronavirus catastrophically, with more casualties than any other country.

  Things didn’t have to happen this way. Although not fully prepared, the United States does have more professional knowledge, resources, plans and epidemiological experience than dozens of countries that have finally performed much better in resisting the virus.

  This failure is reminiscent of everything that happened before the September 11th incident: all parties, including the highest level of government, issued warnings, but President Bush turned a deaf ear to these warnings until the enemy attacked.

  I. Initial warning

  On January 3, the Trump administration received the first official notice of coronavirus. Within a few days, American intelligence agencies warned the seriousness of this coronavirus threat in their daily briefing to the president, which was the first time in western countries to warn this virus.

  However, it was not until 70 days after receiving the initial notice that Trump finally realized that this coronavirus is not a distant threat, nor is it a well-controlled harmless influenza virus, but a deadly and terrible force. It is a deadly force that may defeat the US defense system and kill tens of thousands of citizens at any time.

  Now I can finally see clearly that these two months have become a critical moment that has been wasted.

  Trump made some unfounded assertions in those weeks, including his claim that everything would "miraculously" disappear, which caused great trouble to the public and contradicted the urgent information sent by public health experts.

  "Although it is outrageous that the media prefer to fabricate conspiracy theories in the White House, President Trump and this administration will still pay attention to the health and safety of Americans around the clock and work around the clock to slow down the spread of the virus, expand the scope of testing and speed up the vaccination," said Judd Deere, a presidential spokesman. "Thanks to the leadership of the president, we will be healthy, strong and prosperous, and stand out from the challenges of growth."

  The president’s behavior and his combative remarks are only one aspect of the deeper dysfunction.

  The most serious failure is that (early) efforts to develop diagnostic tests failed. This test could have been mass-produced and distributed all over the United States, allowing relevant institutions to find early outbreaks of diseases and take isolation measures to control them.

  On one occasion, an official of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), who opened the laboratory of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told them that all kinds of mistakes, including the fear that the laboratory did not meet the standards of aseptic conditions, were so serious that the FDA said that if CDC was a commercial entity rather than a government entity, it would have been closed long ago.

  Other failures spread throughout the epidemic prevention system. In response to the spread of the virus, the government usually seems to be a few weeks behind. The protracted debate between the White House and public health institutions about funds, coupled with the small emergency supplies, left most of the country’s health care system unprotected until Covid-19 became a pandemic.

  Infighting, turf wars and sudden changes in leadership hindered the work of the coronavirus task force.

  We may never know whether it is possible to avoid many deaths and millions of infections if more consistent, urgent and effective response measures are taken. But even now, there are still many signs that the Trump administration’s handling of the crisis may have devastating consequences.

  Even the president’s basic supporters are beginning to face this reality. In mid-March, when Trump advertised himself as a wartime president and belatedly urged the public to work together to slow down the spread of the virus, Republican leaders were examining grim poll data, which showed that Trump was making his followers fall into a false sense of security in the face of deadly threats.

  Polls show that Trump’s contemptuous description of the virus and the satirical reports of the virus by Fox News and other conservative TV stations have far more influence on the Republican Party than the Democratic Party. As a result, it is frustrating that many Republicans refuse to change their travel plans, to follow the guidelines of "social distance" (editor’s note: keep a distance of about 2 meters between people), to hoard supplies, and to take the threat of coronavirus seriously.

  "Denial is unlikely to be a successful survival strategy," Republican pollster Neil newhouse concluded in a document. This document was shared by Republican leaders on Capitol Hill and widely discussed in the White House. It said that Trump’s staunchest supporters "are putting themselves and their loved ones at risk".

  As this report swept the top of the Republican Party, Trump also changed. In recent days, Trump was very angry because he was reminded that he had claimed that the number of infection cases would soon "drop to zero".

  So far, more than 7,000 people have died of coronavirus in the United States, and about 240,000 cases have been reported. But Trump admits that the new model shows that the final national death toll may be between 100,000 and 240,000.

  In addition to the suffering of thousands of victims and their families, this result will change the international status of the United States and damage and weaken the reputation of the United States as a global leader in extremely difficult times.

  Gregory F. Treverton, former chairman of the National Intelligence Council, said, "This is a real blow to the feeling that the United States is capable.

  The Committee is the most senior intelligence analysis agency of the government. Treverton resigned in January 2017 and now teaches at the University of Southern California. He pointed out, "This is part of our global role. Traditional friends and allies trust us because they think we can work with them in a crisis, not the other way around. "

  Second, we have completely controlled it.

  Public health departments in the United States, like anti-terrorism officials, military planners, aviation authorities and other personnel, are all special types of civil servants, and their careers have been spent considering the worst case.

  The arsenal used by public health departments to deal with virus invasion is very powerful, which can kill a new pathogen while fighting for a cure, but it is also easy to be defeated if it is not mobilized in time. Therefore, officials of the US Department of Health and Human Services, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other institutions are paying close attention to emerging dangers every day.

  The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was informed of the coronavirus case on December 31st, and began to write a report for the US Department of Health and Human Services on January 1st. But the clearest warning American officials received about this coronavirus was that on January 3rd, Robert redfield, director of CDC, got a call, and a mysterious respiratory disease was spreading.

  Redfield quickly passed on the disturbing news to Alex Azar, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for supervising the CDC and other public health institutions. Aza ensured that the White House was informed and instructed his chief of staff to share the report with the National Security Council.

  From that moment on, the government and the virus have been caught in a race against time. Whether the pathogen and preventive measures can take the lead will determine the scale of the virus after it attacks the United States and how many people will get sick or die.

  The initial reaction was promising, but officials immediately encountered obstacles.

  Senior officials of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have begun to convene an internal working group, including CDC directors redfield and Azar, and Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

  The following week, the White House also held sporadic meetings with officials of the National Security Council and the State Council, mainly discussing when and whether to bring government employees back to the United States.

  American officials began to take initial measures to deal with a potential outbreak. As of mid-January, Robert Cardertz, an Air Force officer and assistant secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services for preparedness and response, had instructed his subordinates to make contingency plans to implement the National Defense Production Law, which enabled the government to force private companies to produce equipment that was vital to national security. 

  Aides disagreed on whether to implement the bill, and nothing happened after several weeks.

  On January 14th, Calderz scribbled a word in his notebook: "Coronavirus! !”

  Although Trump’s lower-level officials have started a series of preparatory work, it was not until Trump spent the weekend at Haihu Manor on January 18 that Health Minister Azar gave him a detailed report on the coronavirus.

  Even before the Minister of Health could get in a word, Trump interrupted him and began to criticize Azar’s handling of the federal ban on abortion of e-cigarette products, which annoyed Trump.

  At that time, Trump was in the pain of an impeachment war because he was accused of trying to get political benefits from Ukrainian leaders. The Republican-controlled Senate seemed certain to acquit Trump, but Trump was absorbed in the trial, shouting at senators in the middle of the night and making a list of enemies he thought so that he could be punished after the case against him was over.

  In hindsight, officials said, Azar could have urged Trump more forcefully, at least to turn some of his attention to the new threat, which would soon put his presidency to a more severe test and kill a large number of Americans in the last year of Trump’s first presidency.

  But the Secretary of State, who has strained relations with Trump and other government officials, assured the President that those responsible are handling and supervising this issue. Azar told several aides that the president thought he was an "alarmist" because Azar tried to focus Trump’s attention on new issues and even asked a close friend for advice.

  Within a few days, a new alarm appeared.

  On January 21st, a Seattle man who recently traveled abroad tested positive for coronavirus, becoming the first known infection case in the United States.

  It was also at this time that American officials began to face up to their failure in dealing with the crisis.

  During the September 11th terrorist attacks and the outbreak of avian influenza in 2005, Azar held a senior position in the US Department of Health and Human Services, and he was very familiar with crisis management.

  He instructed his subordinates to take prompt action to establish a nationwide monitoring system to track the spread of coronavirus — — This is an upgraded version of the work done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to monitor new strains of common influenza every year.

  The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued its first public alert about coronavirus on January 8th, and began to monitor the major airports in Los Angeles, San Francisco and new york on the 17th, where a large number of passengers arrive every day.

  However, in other aspects, the situation is out of control, the number of cases in Seattle has doubled, and the public has raised more and more questions. There is no measure to prevent infected passengers from arriving from abroad.

  At this critical moment, Trump left the United States to attend the annual Global Economic Forum in Davos. Senior officials accompanying him included Robert O ‘Brien, national security adviser, who received an overseas call from the anxious Azar.

  Azar told O ‘Brien that it was "chaos" in the White House, and officials of the Department of Health and Human Services were forced to give almost the same briefing to three people on the same day.

  Azar urged O ‘Brien to involve the National Security Council and coordinate a matter that may affect air travel, immigration authorities, the State Council and the Pentagon. O ‘Brien seems to be aware of this urgency, and put his deputy, Matthew Pottinger, in charge of coordinating the US response that is still in its infancy.

  But the growing anxiety within the government does not seem to be reflected in the president. On January 22nd, when Trump was interviewed by CNBC in Davos, he was asked about coronavirus for the first time. When asked if he was worried about a potential epidemic, Trump said, "No.. We have completely controlled it. In one case, everything will be fine. "

  Third, the spread began to be uncontrolled.

  In fact, the National Security Council of the United States has an opportunity to control the epidemic, readjust the strategy of the United States, control the virus if possible, and find ways to prepare the resources needed by hospitals in the event of an outbreak in the United States, including basic equipment such as protective masks and ventilators.

  But American officials seem to be more concerned with logistics issues, including how to evacuate Americans from the epidemic area, rather than mobilizing to deal with what is about to happen.

  In Washington, the then acting chief of staff, Mick Malvani and Pottinger, began to convene a meeting of senior officials from the Department of Health and Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the State Council at the White House.

  This group includes Azar and Fossey, as well as nine other people in the administrative department, which formed the core of the coronavirus task force of the US government. But its main concern is how to prevent foreign infected people from going to the United States and evacuate thousands of American citizens.

  These meetings did not seriously focus on testing or supply, which proved to be the most challenging problems facing the Trump administration.

  The working group was formally announced on January 29th.

  "The original intention of this organization is to focus on border control and repatriation," said a senior official who attended the meeting. "It is not a comprehensive organization that includes all government departments to manage everything."

  According to the participants, the State Council’s agenda dominated these early discussions. Officials began to make plans for charter flights and withdrew 6,000 Americans. They also debated the wording of the possible travel advice issued by the government.

  On January 29th, Malvani, acting White House Chief of Staff, hosted a meeting in the Situation Room of the White House. At the meeting, officials discussed the issue of raising the travel restrictions to "level 4", which meant that the State Council would issue a warning of "no travel".

  On January 31, Azar announced restrictions to prohibit non-American citizens who have been in the epidemic area for the past two weeks from entering the United States.

  Trump has reason to point out that such restrictions are evidence that he responded positively at the beginning of the outbreak. This was one of the few intervention options that met Trump’s instinct during the whole crisis. He always seems to focus on drawing boundaries and keeping foreigners out of the country (editor’s note: China Post here insinuates that Trump always wants to exclude immigrants and refugees).

  But in the month before that, 300 thousand people had returned to the United States. According to the data released by the World Health Organization, as of the end of January, there were only 7,818 confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection in the world, but it is obvious that the virus is spreading out of control.

  At that time, Pottinger, the White House Asia Policy Advisor, was pushing for another travel ban, this time restricting the flow of travelers from Italy and other EU countries, which are rapidly becoming the main new nodes of the epidemic.

  Pottinger’s proposal was supported by leading health care officials, including Fauci, who believed that it was crucial to close any way that the virus might enter the country.

  This time, the plan was resisted by Treasury Secretary Steven Nuchin and others who were worried about the adverse impact on the US economy. This is an early sign of internal tension in the US government, which has led to the division of the Trump administration, and the opposition between those who give priority to public health and those who are determined to avoid any adverse impact on the economy and growth in an election year.

  Those who stand on the side of the economy have the upper hand over Trump. More than a month later, the government issued a belated and confusing ban on flying from Europe to the United States (note: Britain was not included at first).

  During this period, thousands of people crossed the Atlantic again.

  Fourth, the wall of resistance

  When the debate about the travel ban was staged in the White House, public health officials began to panic about the serious shortage of key medical equipment, including protective masks for doctors and nurses, and the funds used to pay for these things were rapidly decreasing.

  By the beginning of February, the government quickly used 105 million dollars of congressional funds to deal with the outbreak of infectious diseases. At that time, for most people, the threat of coronavirus to the United States seemed distant, if not completely fictional.

  But for health officials who are responsible for storing supplies for the worst case, disaster seems increasingly inevitable.

  American stocks of N95 protective masks, protective clothing, gloves and other materials have been seriously inadequate after years of insufficient funds. The crisis disrupted overseas supply chains, and the outbreak of this crisis suddenly threatened the replenishment prospects of this American store.

  Most of the production of these equipment has already been transferred abroad, and the factories there are now closed because the workers are asked to stay at home. At the same time, countries are buying masks and other equipment to prepare for their own coronavirus outbreak, which pushes up costs and monopolizes supply.

  At the end of January and the beginning of February, the leaders of the Department of Health and Human Services sent two letters to the White House Office of Management and Budget, asking them to use their power to transfer the $136 million of the department’s funds to the fund pool that can be used to fight coronavirus. Azar and his aides also began to submit a multi-billion-dollar supplementary budget application to Congress.

  However, White House budget hawks believe that too much one-time funding will be regarded as alarmist when there are only a few cases of infection in the United States.

  Joe, chairman of the US Domestic Policy Committee? Grogan clashed with health officials in response. He didn’t believe that the money would be used correctly and questioned how health officials used the previous disaster preparedness funds.

  On February 4, when Trump delivered his State of the Union address, Azar talked with Russell Walter, Acting Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget. Walter seemed happy and asked Aza to submit a proposal.

  The next day, Azar did just that, drafting an additional application of more than $4 billion, which officials in the Budget Office and others in the White House thought was an angry demand for big money.

  According to three people familiar with the matter, Azar arrived at the White House that day and had a tense meeting with them in the situation room, and then a quarrel broke out.

  Alex Azar, Minister of Health and Human Services, gave a speech at the White House briefing on coronavirus on January 31st. Source: Washington Post

  A representative of the budget office accused Azar of lobbying Congress first to ask for a huge sum of money that White House officials were not interested in approving. Aza was angry with these criticisms and defended the necessity of urgent procurement. But before the coronavirus crisis began, his position in the eyes of White House officials was already shaky, and this quarrel further damaged him.

  A few weeks later, there was a worrying coronavirus epidemic in the United States, and the attitude of White House officials eased. The team in the Office of Management and Budget reduced Aza’s request to $2.5 billion, which can only be used in the current fiscal year. Congress ignored this figure and approved an $8 billion supplementary bill, which Trump signed into law on March 7.

  But once again, the facts prove that delay is costly. These controversies mean that before the Trump administration competed with many other desperate countries, the United States missed a narrow window to store ventilators, masks and other protective equipment, and state officials who were fed up with the failure of the federal government began to find supplies themselves.

  At the end of March, the government ordered 10,000 ventilators, which was far from meeting the demand of public health officials and governors. These machines will not arrive in the United States until summer or autumn. According to the epidemiological prediction model, the Covid-19 pandemic will subside by then.

  "It’s actually a bit like a joke," said a government official involved in the discussion of the late purchase.

  V. Uncertain testing

  Although the spread of viruses is invisible, public health officials have developed detailed methods to map and track their activities. In many ways, preventing the outbreak of epidemic or slowing down the speed of pandemic depends on whether people can be quickly divided into infected people and uninfected people.

  However, to do this, the key is to have an accurate detection method to diagnose patients and quickly deploy it to laboratories all over the country. In the United States, it may take more time to achieve this goal than any other failure.

  "If you do the test, you can say, Oh, my God, there is a virus spreading in Seattle. Let’s act quickly." A senior government official involved in fighting the epidemic said. "But we have no idea."

  The most expensive mistake is that senior health officials estimate that the epidemic may be limited in the United States, just like all other cases of infection in decades, and that the US CDC can independently develop its own diagnostic tests for coronavirus.

  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was established in the 1940s to control the malaria epidemic in the southern United States. The center has been in a leading position in the diagnosis and testing of major epidemics such as Ebola virus, Zika virus and H1N1 virus. But CDC was not established for mass production testing.

  The success of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has contributed to an institutional arrogance. Even in the face of a potential crisis, the CDC did not feel an urgent need to involve private laboratories, academic institutions, hospitals and global health organizations that are also capable of developing tests.

  However, some people worry that CDC testing is not enough. FDA Commissioner Stephen? Hahn sought authorization in early February and began to appeal to private diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies for help.

  Whether it’s a bad idea for FDA Commissioner Hahn to personally call the company he supervises, the leaders of FDA have different opinions. When FDA officials consulted the head of the US Department of Health and Human Services, they thought it was a terrible idea.

  At this point, Azar, as the Minister of Health and Human Services, seems to be committed to keeping his institution at the center of the response work all the time, ensuring that tests are conducted from the CDC, and then relying on the existing laboratory network system for tracking common influenza to establish a national coronavirus monitoring system.

  According to a document outlining the testing strategy obtained by Washington post, at the working group meeting, Health Minister Azar and CDC Director redfield tried to get 100 million dollars to support the plan, but they were rejected because of the high cost.

  Even if the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has successfully and rapidly developed an effective detection method that can be distributed nationwide, it is problematic to rely heavily on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

  The scale of the epidemic and the need for large-scale testing far exceed the capacity of previous influenza networks, which may make it difficult to implement the plan. The plan will not involve commercial laboratory companies in the next six months.

  When the CDC failed to complete the basic task of establishing a job test, and the working group rejected Azar’s plan, the work completely failed.

  On February 6th, when the World Health Organization reported that it would send 250,000 test kits to laboratories around the world, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began to distribute 90 test kits to a few national health laboratories.

  Almost at the same time, the national laboratories encountered problems, and the results in more than half of the laboratories were inaccurate, which meant that they could not be relied on to diagnose real patients. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a stopgap measure, requiring laboratories to send the test results to its headquarters in Atlanta, which will delay the test results for several days.

  The lack of effective detection means has led officials to restrict when and how to use detection means and delay monitoring and testing. The initial guidelines were so strict that States did not encourage testing patients with symptoms unless they had been to high-incidence areas and had contact with confirmed cases, when pathogens almost certainly had spread more widely to the general population.

  These restrictions have left senior officials basically ignorant of the true scale of the epidemic.

  In mid-February, medical expert Fauci and CDC director redfield told White House officials at a meeting in the Situation Room that there was no evidence of worrying interpersonal communication in the United States.

  In hindsight, it is almost certain that the virus had taken root in the community at that time. However, even the country’s top experts have little meaningful data about this threat in the United States.

  Fauci later admitted that as they learned more, their views changed.

  At the same time, although Trump’s subordinates are becoming more and more vigilant, Trump continues to show optimism. On February 10, he held a political rally in New Hampshire attended by thousands of people. He announced at the rally, "By April, you know, in theory, if the weather is a little warmer, it will miraculously disappear."

  The rally in New Hampshire is one of the eight gatherings that Trump held after being told about coronavirus by Azar. During this time, he also went to the golf course six times.

  One day ago, on February 9th, a group of governors attended a formal party at the White House. They met privately with Fauci and redfield, director of the CDC. This briefing made many governors feel uneasy, and there was little similarity with the president’s statement.

  Maryland Governor Larry Hogan (Republican) said, "Doctors and scientists told us what they are saying now."

  In the same month, the forecast became more and more terrible in emails between federal medical and public health officials. A medical consultant of the Department of Veterans Affairs warned, "We are flying blindly."

  In late February, American officials found signs that CDC laboratories failed to meet basic quality control standards. In a conference call with several health officials on February 27th, a senior FDA official lashed out at the repeated mistakes of the CDC.

  Jeffrey Shulun, director of equipment and radiation hygiene at FDA, told CDC that if you are subjected to the same scrutiny as private laboratories, "I will shut you down."

  On February 29th, a man in Washington State became the first American to die of coronavirus infection. On the same day, FDA issued a guide, indicating that private laboratories are free to develop their own diagnostic methods.

  Another four weeks’ time was wasted.

  VI. Life and Death

 

  A week later, on March 6, Trump visited the facilities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States with a red hat "Keep America Great". He boasted that the CDC test was almost perfect, and that "anyone who wants to test will be tested", but this promise has not been fulfilled nearly a month later.

  He also claimed to have a keen medical mind. "I like this kind of thing. I really understand, "he said. "People here are surprised and I can understand. These doctors all said, how do you know so much? "

  In fact, many failures in preventing coronavirus outbreaks in the United States were either exacerbated by his leadership or his leadership.

  For weeks, he said almost nothing about the crisis, but did not downplay its seriousness or spread obvious false information. At the same time, he also rejected the warnings of intelligence officials and senior public health officials in his government.

  Sometimes, his concern about the trend of the stock market is more real than the spread of the virus in the United States, and his criticism of the chairman of the Federal Reserve is even stronger. It seems that he has never shown strong concern about the possible large-scale infection of Americans.

  In March this year, one state after another imposed comprehensive new restrictions on citizens’ daily life to protect the American people, which triggered serious economic turmoil, so Trump made new predictions about these measures.

  On March 9, he wrote on Twitter that the common flu kills tens of thousands of people every year. "Nothing stops, and life and economy continue."

  A day later, he promised that the virus would "disappear" and just keep calm.

  Two days later, Trump finally ordered to stop traveling from Europe, after his national security adviser had proposed this policy for weeks. However, Trump used his own expression to screw up the statement of the Oval Office (the official office of the President of the United States). White House officials spent several days trying to correct the wrong remarks, which led American citizens to flee overseas and go home.

  Senator Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said: "On March 13th, some people began to take this issue seriously before they realized that they were at war … … At that time, he took decisive action and brought some real returns. "

  Prior to this, Trump had spent several weeks reorganizing the responsibility of leading the government to deal with the crisis. At first, he appointed Azar as the head of the working group, then he relied on Pottinger, the national security adviser, for a short time, and finally, at the end of February, he pushed Vice President Burns to the position of overall responsibility.

  During the crisis, other officials tried to help correct the direction of the United States, and sometimes helped correct the president’s statement. But just as Fauci, Azar and others tried to make their position clear, Trump turned to those who had no qualifications, experience or discernable insight in dealing with an epidemic behind the scenes.

  The most important one is his consultant and son-in-law kushner. A team reporting to kushner occupied the space on the seventh floor of the building of the Ministry of Public Health and carried out a series of early actions.

  One of the plans is for Google to set up a website to guide those who have symptoms to test facilities, which should have appeared in Wal-Mart parking lots all over the country, but never came true.

  The other is about Larry, the chairman of Oracle Bone Inscriptions Company? An idea put forward by Ellison is to use software to monitor the use of unproven antimalarial drugs against coronavirus pathogens.

  So far, these promises made at the White House press conference have not been fulfilled. However, the proposal of son-in-law kushner often interrupts the work of those who are under great pressure, and they need to manage the measures to deal with the epidemic.

  Current and former officials say that officials of the Ministry of Public Health, medical expert Fauci, CDC director redfield and others have repeatedly had to shift their attention from their core business to the White House’s false requests, and they know they can’t ignore them. 

  Azar, who once responded, was eliminated and deprived of decision-making power. His performance was ridiculed by a series of White House officials, including kushner.

  A former senior government official who has frequent contact with former colleagues said that Fossey is trying to launch the most ambitious clinical trial in history to speed up the development of vaccines. However, the top health officials in the United States will get a call from the White House or the kushner team, and they ask, Isn’t it good to cooperate with Oracle Bone Inscriptions?

Fauci attended the press conference with Trump.

Fauci attended the press conference with Trump.

  If the coronavirus exposes the country’s false confidence in its ability to deal with the crisis, it also shows the limitations of Trump as president and his contempt for facts, science and experience.

  During his presidency, he withstood other challenges, including the investigation and impeachment involving Russian interference in the general election, mainly by vigorously refuting the facts against him and trying to control the public’s understanding of the incident with a series of lies.

  Coronavirus may be the first real crisis that Trump faced during his tenure. Thousands of deaths and infections were so obvious that Trump’s dirty tricks failed.

  After months of downplaying the severity of coronavirus and resisting calls for drastic measures to contain it, Trump finally seemed to succumb to the reality of coronavirus after crowning himself as wartime president.

  When the president met with Republican allies in the Oval Office last month, he said that his campaign was no longer important because his re-election would depend on his response to coronavirus.

  Finally, he said at a news conference: "It is absolutely important for the American people to abide by these guidelines in the next 30 days."

  "This is a matter of life and death."

  It’s March 31st.

How beautiful is perfection: Although the film is not perfect, it has unique value.


1905 movie network news It’s an interesting movie. Jiang Wu, in the shadow of Jiang Wen, has always had a weak sense of existence. Angel is shrouded by the aura of Chen Jianbin, which rarely appears on the big screen. However, it is precisely these two actors who have little box office appeal, but they co-starred in a complex work with low topic and weak entertainment, which seems to wander between business and art, full of comedy, violence and romance, promoting the positive energy of family and love, but a little dark.

 

First, the magic of realism

"How Beautiful Is Perfect" is naturally a realistic film. It starts from the present life of a couple and gradually spreads to its complex social network, presenting us with the life dilemma of a lower class. The tone, lens and editing of the film are quite simple, and the problems existing in life are discussed in a down-to-earth manner. But at the same time, "How Beautiful Is Perfect" has some magical colors. The setting of "double stories" derived from the story structure makes a real story happen in two spaces, thus this "crossing" gives the film a certain magical temperament and has the possibility of jumping out of the surface and paying attention to the essence.

Therefore, "How Beautiful is Perfect" depicts the real world in color, while black and white symbolizes the space through which it passes, and makes a straightforward spatial expression. Then, in two different spaces, with the same number of roles and identities, two different life stories are told for the audience. The ultimate goal of the film is to make the protagonist in the film make a choice in life through the different plots, and at the same time throw the difficult problem of choice to the audience and torture the audience’s value and feelings.

Second, think perfectly, but do not do well.

In fact, there is a lot of room for such a setting as "How Beautiful is Perfect". At the beginning of the film, a moral problem was thrown for the audience. Then he entered the ordinary but fantastic day of the hero Jiang Wu, laid out the subsequent stories, and formally entered the stage of different life dramas. Through the time and space, Jiang Wu transformed herself into a different identity and a different life. After a short period of maladjustment, he quickly merged into the recognition and enjoyment of his new identity and freely shuttled between two spaces.

"How Beautiful Is Perfect" is such a linear cross-space narrative. Thanks to Jiang Wu’s acting skills, it can well support the subtle changes in the character’s heart and expression. And the complex situation surrounding his affection, love and friendship has also brought some absurd colors. However, it is a pity that this kind of film is very suitable for incorporating the genre factor of black humor, but this film is rare, and the serious narrative way also makes the story itself not very interesting.

The most easily criticized part of How Beautiful is Perfect is that the content of the story itself is too weak. Although it revolves around a male protagonist, it seeks to comprehensively describe the relationship grid around him, so parents, wives and friends go into battle in unison. On the surface, it is all, but in fact, it has not been well explored from any angle, and it seems that there are some problems. In addition, the proposition of straight male cancer seems to put women in a very passive position, housewives can’t have children, and beautiful goddesses can’t find true love. These settings are also considered carefully and inappropriate.

Third, men’s reproductive/survival anxiety

At the beginning of "How Beautiful is Perfect", Tianle, an auto repair project, received a medical confirmation from a doctor about her reproductive ability in the hospital. But it is such an ability to have seven or eight children that makes Cheng Tianle always in an embarrassing situation of "no queen", and the cause of the whole story begins. Later, Cheng Tianle found that his wife, who had always claimed to be healthy, was unable to have children, so he was furious and called it a "liar". It can be seen that the story of "How Beautiful is Perfect" starts from a man’s reproductive anxiety, which leads to the crisis of his whole middle age.

It is in the dilemma of "no queen" and reproduction that Cheng Tianle can "dream a dream", find a key to crossing and come and go freely in two spaces. In the black-and-white world, he became the president, with a mansion and a luxury car. The goddess of youth became her daughter-in-law and was pregnant with her own children. Everything you can’t have in the real world has become a reality in the illusion of black and white.

On the one hand, diaosi, on the other hand, is rich. The leader in front has become the younger brother behind, and the friend has become a stranger. Various changes in social relations have actually become a projection of Cheng Tianle’s inner desires and the best platform to understand the inner desires of a middle-aged man at the bottom of contemporary China. In him, we can actually see the brand of current social values on everyone, and the superficial things of money worship and material desire are flooding our daily lives. In our patriarchal society, many of these materialized pressures are placed on men. There are few successful people, and most ordinary middle-aged men can only be anxious and miserable in the troubles of lack of money, the decline of wife’s color, the disobedience of children and the beauty of their first love. Just like Shen Teng in China, Xú Zhēng in China and so on.

This phenomenon, which has no solution in reality, always needs to be solved by finding an outlet in How Beautiful Perfect is, so the director finally let Cheng Tianle choose his family and parents and return to a more traditional value orientation. However, there is something wrong with the setting of this ending. The way of reconciliation between him and his wife and the final choice between him and his wife in the black and white world are also debatable. On the whole, "How Beautiful is Perfect" not only guarantees a value standpoint, but also does not fully consider the construction of a more complete value system.

Fourth, the genre expansion of domestic films

As a film, How Beautiful Is Perfect is naturally imperfect. The director has a good idea, but in the narrative of the story, the presentation of details, and even the value transfer and characterization, there are some problems of swallowing water, which makes people unable to see the particularly exciting points.

However, from another perspective, the number of domestic realistic movies has increased in recent years, and the thinking about real life and middle-aged anxiety has become deeper. Moreover, the realistic writing of fantasy love based on time and space travel actually provides a reference for many domestic movies, that is, how to creatively solve a real realistic problem in the image, which is a value of How Beautiful is Perfect.

Going to the restaurant to find "pot gas", even the Michelin restaurant is full of prefabricated dishes?

During the period of epidemic control in Shanghai, many people chose convenient and simple prefabricated dishes when cooking because of limited ingredients and tight office hours at home. Although the method is convenient (just open the package and reheat it) and the taste is qualified (the taste is much stronger than that of Xiao Bai himself in the kitchen), after the resumption of dining in Shanghai, many people still can’t wait to sit down in the restaurant and feel the "pot gas" fried by the chefs. Unexpectedly, they found that many restaurants have already been occupied by prefabricated dishes.

Opened the door to a new world?

During the epidemic, Mr. Cheng bought a lot of materials with the community group, including many prepared dishes. After seeing the various introductions of the head of the delegation, he shouted: It opened the door to a new world.

A community leader is a restaurant operator. She introduced to her neighbors in the group: This time, the supplier’s dishes were directly put into the community group purchase for residents to buy. Usually, she and her partners directly use these prefabricated dishes in the restaurant. Mr. Cheng thinks that if the prepared dishes such as cold dishes and steamed vegetables are still in psychological expectation, then the cooking in the restaurant is all prepared dishes "really too much". In addition, according to the introduction of group buying, even Michelin restaurants are using prefabricated dishes, which is shocking.

These group purchases have also made Mr. Cheng more careful when he went to eat in the restaurant recently. Every time he sat down in the restaurant, he couldn’t help but look at the kitchen first: Is it the fresh dishes that the chef is cooking now? Or is it just a prepared dish that the chef helps to heat?

He also found that many restaurants now send an hourglass after ordering food to ensure that the dishes are served within XX minutes. Often, the customer just ordered the meal, and the waiter quickly swished a table of dishes, which was counterintuitive. In the conversation with the waiter, he found that these dishes with touching speed are all prefabricated dishes!

Should I inform you in advance that it is a prepared dish?

Prefabricated dishes are becoming more and more popular. According to a research report, the ratio of B-end to C-end in China’s prefabricated vegetable market is about 8: 2, and restaurants and other businesses still account for the bulk of the consumption of prefabricated dishes. Another scene where prefabricated dishes are widely used is take-away. In other words, 80% of the prepared dishes will eventually flow into consumers’ mouths from in-house food and take-away.

With the advantage of convenience and quickness, prefabricated dishes are becoming more and more popular in the business side. Some enterprises have publicly stated that the dishes are 95% prefabricated, and the dishes such as black truffle shrimp and squirrel mandarin fish, which look very high-end, are not carefully cooked by the store chef, but prefabricated dishes that only need simple heating.

According to insiders, when we go to restaurants, we rarely get the dishes we are cooking now, and about 60% of them are frozen prefabricated dishes, especially in some small chain stores and home-cooked restaurants.

In this regard, many netizens shared their feelings on social media: "Prefabricated dishes completely destroyed my motivation to eat takeout, including some in-house food." "In the catering industry that pursues the ultimate goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency, the standard takes away the wild interest, leaving only the unified taste buds crying."

When prepared dishes occupy take-out and in-house food, people are more concerned about the chef’s skills when they go to restaurants. Now the chef’s skills may be gone and become prepared dishes. If I told you that the exquisite dishes served in a beautifully decorated restaurant were actually prefabricated dishes made a month ago, would you still pay for it?

There are also some netizens who think that since you can’t tell whether it’s fresh and stir-fried, since you have enjoyed the speed of eating, there is no need to complain too much about the use of prefabricated dishes in restaurants.

However, more people are dissatisfied with the use of prefabricated dishes in restaurants. Someone bluntly said: "When you go to a restaurant, you eat prefabricated dishes, just like eating takeout in a store. The taste will definitely not be good. I am trying to make your home hot food faster? Or do you want to earn me three times the difference? "

Should consumers be informed in advance of the use of prefabricated dishes in restaurants? Chen Yinjiang, Deputy Secretary-General of china law society Consumer Protection Law Research Association, told Zhongxin Finance that in view of the possible food safety risks of prepared dishes, it is possible to consider establishing an advance notice system for prepared dishes. The Consumer Protection Law stipulates that consumers have the right to know the real situation of goods and services. Operators should also inform consumers of the real situation of goods and related information truly, comprehensively and accurately.

Chen Yinjiang believes that consumers have the right to know whether the dishes are cooked on the spot and fresh enough. If consumers originally didn’t want to eat prefabricated vegetables, because the operators didn’t tell them and ate them unwittingly, it actually violated the real wishes of consumers and was suspected of infringing consumers’ right to know and choose. With the large-scale listing of prefabricated vegetables, it needs to be further standardized in the future.

Did you know that 60% of restaurants are frozen prefabricated dishes?

Would you like to pay for these prepared dishes?

  This year’s press conference will continue to take the form of last year and be held in the form of online video. The main venue is located in the press conference hall of the Great Hall of the People, and the sub-venue is located in the press center of the two sessions in Media.

  The Fourth Session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference

  Opening on the afternoon of March 4th and closing on the 10th.

  The Fourth Session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference will open at 3 pm on March 4th in the Great Hall of the People and close on the afternoon of March 10th.

  During the conference, there will be an opening meeting, a closing meeting and two speeches, one of which will be held by video conference; Arrange 6 group meetings.

  The Fourth Session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference

  The session was shortened to six and a half days.

  Guo Weimin introduced that the shortening of the session not only summarized the experience of last year, but also considered the requirements of epidemic prevention and control. Last year’s conference shortened the duration, reduced the staff, streamlined the documents, and combined online and offline, which was well received by all walks of life. This year, we will further improve relevant practices, strive to enhance efficiency, improve quality, give full play to the role of consultation in performing their duties, and continuously improve the efficiency of consultation institutions.

  In the future, we will further sort out innovative measures and practices, constantly improve relevant work, and ensure that the meeting is pragmatic and efficient.

  How did CPPCC members perform their duties in the past year?

  Here comes the "work summary"

  Guo Weimin introduced that more than 2,100 CPPCC members from 34 sectors had the courage to take responsibility and perform their duties, made important contributions to epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and handed over an excellent performance report.

  Last year’s conference was postponed. From the last conference to the fourth conference, the working cycle was shortened, and some offline activities were not convenient to hold. Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference further intensified the work of consultation and deliberation. In the whole year, 23 important consultation and deliberation activities were held, such as special discussion meetings of the Standing Committee, special consultation meetings and biweekly consultation forums, 80 inspections and investigations were organized, more than 7,500 pieces of CPPCC information were submitted, and more than 5,900 members’ proposals were put forward. Last year, the work of handling proposals was intensified, and the quality has also improved in the past year, with many innovations and good results.

  As of the end of February, China has accumulated

  Vaccinate more than 52 million doses.

  Guo Weimin said that by the end of February, China had received more than 52 million doses of vaccine. China has always given priority to the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. Vaccine companies always strictly follow the relevant technical standards and procedures from research and development to each stage of experiments, and timely release authoritative information at all important stages, such as research and development, experiments, emergency use and conditional listing. Many countries have approved the use of China vaccine, and leaders of some countries have taken the lead in vaccinating China vaccine, which shows the safety and effectiveness of China vaccine.

  China has provided vaccine assistance to 69 countries and 2 international organizations.

  And exported vaccines to 28 countries.

  Guo Weimin introduced that in response to some people’s query that China is expanding its geopolitical influence through vaccines, Guo Weimin responded that this statement and idea are very narrow. Vaccine is an important means to prevent and control and defeat the epidemic, and it is also an important part of the current international cooperation against the epidemic. China has taken the new crown vaccine as a global public product and joined the COVID-19 Vaccine Implementation Plan of the World Health Organization.

  By the end of February, China had provided vaccine assistance to 69 countries and two international organizations, and exported vaccines to 28 countries. Related work continued, which not only contributed to helping the international community overcome the epidemic, but also practiced the concept of a community of human destiny.

  Preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics are progressing smoothly.

  Minimize the risk of epidemic situation

  Guo Weimin said that many CPPCC members come from the sports field, many other members are sports fans, and the general public in China are highly concerned about the Beijing Winter Olympics and eagerly look forward to it. At present, with the joint efforts of all relevant parties at home and abroad, the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games are progressing smoothly. Relevant departments have innovated their working methods and adjusted their work arrangements scientifically and reasonably, so as to minimize the epidemic risk while completing the preparatory tasks.

  Individual foreign politicians politicize sports in an attempt to disrupt the preparation and holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics, which is contrary to the spirit of the Olympic Charter. We believe that such a move is futile and doomed to fail without the support of the international community.

  China’s poverty alleviation standard is higher than

  Extreme poverty standards set by the World Bank

  The press conference of the Fourth Session of the 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference was held this afternoon. Guo Weimin, the press spokesman of the conference, briefed the Chinese and foreign media about the conference and answered questions from reporters.

  Guo Weimin said that since the 13th CPPCC National Committee, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference has made tackling poverty as a key point in consultation and deliberation every year. The quality of tackling poverty is also an issue that everyone is concerned about. Many experts in Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference believe that China’s poverty alleviation standard is a comprehensive standard.

  In terms of income, China’s poverty alleviation standard is higher than the extreme poverty standard set by the World Bank. In the process of tackling poverty, China also emphasizes "two guarantees and three guarantees". At present, all the poor people have achieved food and clothing, and compulsory education, basic medical care, housing safety and drinking water safety are fully guaranteed. In addition, China’s poverty alleviation achievements also include a large number of public services and social security, such as building bridges, roads, electricity, networking and other initiatives.

  Submitted by several CPPCC members

  Proposal on "Strengthening the Protection of Personal Information"

  Guo Weimin said that in recent years, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference has done a lot of work around personal information security and privacy protection, and many CPPCC members have submitted relevant proposals. Last year, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference also held a remote consultation meeting on strengthening personal information protection in the era of big data, and a biweekly consultation forum on scientific and technological ethics and legal issues in the development of artificial intelligence.

  Some people in charge of Internet companies among CPPCC members also participated in the discussion of related topics, and expressed that they should strengthen industry self-discipline, handle the relationship between service and management, strictly implement the main responsibility of enterprises, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of users. Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference will continue to pay attention to this issue and make new progress in this work.

  Old people can’t move without a health code?

  Actively responding to aging is included in this year’s key consultation topics.

  In view of the fact that the elderly can’t enter public places because they can’t use health codes, Guo Weimin responded: In recent years, many CPPCC members have put forward proposals around related issues. Many members believe that the problems such as the difficulty for the elderly to use smart devices have exposed the situation that some places in our country have made intelligent progress, but humanized services are still insufficient.

  Guo Weimin said that this year, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference will actively respond to the aging of the population and promote the balanced development of the population as a key topic of consultation, and will organize CPPCC members to conduct in-depth research and discussion to provide reference for government decision-making.

  Patriots govern Hong Kong under the principle of "one country, two systems"

  Proper meaning and core meaning

  Guo Weimin said that Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference has always been very concerned about Hong Kong’s economic and social development. There are more than 230 Hong Kong and Macao members in Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, who are even more concerned about Hong Kong, making suggestions for the stable development of Hong Kong and actively participating in the construction of Hong Kong and Macao. Patriots governing Hong Kong is the proper meaning and core essence of the policy of "one country, two systems", and it is the fundamental principle that must be adhered to in comprehensively and accurately implementing the policy of "one country, two systems". Whether formulating and implementing the National Security Law of Hong Kong or improving the electoral system of the special administrative region, it is to uphold and improve "one country, two systems" and ensure that the practice of "one country, two systems" is stable and far-reaching in the right direction. Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference will conscientiously implement the major policies of the Central Committee for Hong Kong and Macao and strengthen its ideological and political work.

  There is a poll saying that American people’s goodwill towards China has decreased?

  China’s "friend circle" is constantly expanding.

  In response to some polls saying that the American people’s goodwill towards China has decreased, Guo Weimin responded that there are some international polls evaluating China’s national image, and the situation is diverse, which polling agency, the scope of the survey, the specific objects of the survey, data and other factors are involved, and the situation is also diverse. Some are because some foreign people don’t know China, while others are misled by some anti-China politicians.

  China has carried out exchanges and cooperation with more and more countries and regions, and constantly expanded our "circle of friends". Last year, we signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP), completed the China-EU Comprehensive Agreement on Investment negotiations, and successfully held the third International Import Expo. I think these also reflected this from one aspect.

4.9 points of "Change 5" broke 800 million poor taste in the first week. Can the audience recite this pot?

1905 movie network news  Fall asleep, be blown up; I fell asleep and was awakened by the explosion … … It is no exaggeration to say that this is the movie-watching experience. The film’s reputation in North America has long been on the street, and the score of China Douban has plummeted. The original score of 6.1 at the time of painting was already the worst in the series. Unexpectedly, the score collapsed again after the release, and it slipped directly to the current score of 4.9, which is not as good as Tiny Times 2. However, this kind of word of mouth still can’t resist the enthusiasm of mainland audiences. In the first three days, it contributed 800 million yuan to the box office of Transformers 5, far exceeding that of the United States. Should China audience recite this pot with poor taste?


The global word-of-mouth hit the street, and the box office in the mainland in the first week was 810 million, far exceeding that in the United States.

"Transformers 5" was only 15% fresh in rotten tomatoes, which became the lowest score in the series. North American audiences didn’t buy it at all, and the film only earned $69 million (about 480 million yuan) at the box office after five days of release. Although a large number of China media have reported this situation, the douban score of Change 5 in the mainland is also "terrible", but this is not enough to affect the receipt of tickets in China. On June 23rd, "Transformers 5" was painted in the mainland, and it attracted more than 300 million yuan on the first day of its release, and reached 810 million yuan in the first three days, almost double that of the United States. There is no doubt that the mainland ticket warehouse has once again become the savior of bad reviews in North America.


The freshness of rotten tomatoes in Transformers 5 is 15%, breaking the record of low score in this series.

A few days ago, Xiaogang Feng fired at the mainland audience in Shanghai, bluntly saying that there were so many junk movies in China, which was related to a large number of "junk audiences" who joined in. Xiaogang Feng even felt that "junk movies" often have a high box office. As soon as this statement came out, it attracted criticism from all directions. Nowadays, "Transformers 5" has staged a "spectacle" of word-of-mouth box office upside down in the mainland, which is a pot of poor aesthetics. Do China audiences want to recite it? In fact, the Douban score has been falling all the way, and we can know that the mainland audience is not in poor taste, but is fooled by the so-called "feelings".


Optimus Prime was tragically degraded into a supporting role advertisement and then criticized. The mainland guaranteed 2.6 billion yuan this time.


The story line of "Transformers 5" is chaotic and very boring. The bumblebee failed to "sell Meng", and the "absolute protagonist" Optimus Prime was not only pitiful, but also became an "idiot" this time, and staged a "swing" drama that was blacked out for one second and woke up in an instant the next, which made people have mixed feelings when watching the movie. Of course, Change 5 is also full of China advertisements, such as used cars, music websites, yogurt … … Everything, it is estimated that this is the reason why the mainland release version is 2 minutes longer than North America.


The settings of Bumblebee and Optimus Prime in this film have received many bad reviews.


The series does have a large number of fans in the Mainland, and this big IP has never failed in its ability to attract gold in China. Transformers series 1-4 have won 281 million, 428 million, 1.071 billion and 1.977 billion yuan in the mainland respectively. In 2014, it broke the box office record in the Mainland. After three years, "Transformers 5" made a comeback, and the box office of the film exceeded that of the previous work at zero point, the first day and the first week. However, compared with the film released on April 14th this year, there is still a big gap. The box office of Super 8 reached 1.33 billion yuan in the first three days, and finally it won 2.51 billion yuan in the mainland.


According to the box office situation of Transformers 5 in its first week and its declining reputation, it is hard for the film to surpass Fast and Furious 8 in the end. However, it is rumored that "Transformers 5" has a guarantee of 2.6 billion yuan in the mainland. At present, it seems that it is quite difficult to reach this figure.


IMAX 3D effect is still shocking, and it is still a great visual blockbuster.


Of course, even if you try your best to spit out the story of Transformers 5, you can’t deny the visual effect of the film, especially IMAX 3D, which is particularly effective. Whether it’s a deformed bumblebee driving at high speed or a huge and complicated Sebo Tanxing, it’s quite shocking. In addition, the director "Bomber Bay" bombed desperately this time, which dazzled the audience and made them very enjoyable.


Although the story of Transformers 5 is chaotic, the visual effect remains high.

According to michael bay, in order to achieve the truth and shock of the picture, Transformers 5 introduced the ultra-high resolution of 8192×4320 for the first time, as well as the method of IMAX 3D dual camera shooting, and the film also shot up to 98% of IMAX shots, creating a historical record. Judging from the visual effect alone, Transformers 5 is still quite successful, and it is still an awesome visual blockbuster.


Box Office | "Dunkirk" failed to meet expectations in the first week, and "Wolf Warriors 2" came to an end.

Last week, the mainland box office closed at 897 million yuan, reaching the top of the weekly box office list with 197 million yuan, ranking third in Asia. In the first week, the box office was over 60 million yuan, setting a new high in the mainland box office of Japanese live-action movies. When it suffered from Waterloo, it only won 10 million box offices respectively.

From August 28th to September 3rd, there were 1.88 million screenings, and the audience was about 26.73 million.

The North American explosion "Dunkirk" was "acclimatized" in the first week of the mainland.

Last week, Christopher Nolan’s latest masterpiece "Dunkirk" was released in major cinemas in China. As a "god-class" director who shot trilogy and other word-of-mouth blockbusters, Nolan’s films attracted worldwide attention. However, the war blockbuster "Dunkirk", which has earned $179 million at the North American box office, suffered from acclimatization. Although it successfully won the first place in the weekly box office, it only earned 197 million yuan at the box office, far less than that in 2014 (the first weekend of 2.

The reason is that, on the one hand, the summer file ended and the school season began, and the movie market as a whole went down; on the other hand, the moviegoers have been influenced by the Chinese-style war blockbusters of Wolf Warriors 2 for nearly a month. Firstly, the historical events of Dunkirk are not in line with the "local flavor" of the people of China in terms of emotion; secondly, there are great differences in movie-watching culture. Instead of choosing a foreign historical war blockbuster, I don’t know whether it is joy, sadness, excitement or humbling, It is better to choose a more conservative (pseudo) sci-fi movie. The fact is that Star Agent: The City of a Thousand Stars has 37.11% more movies than Dunkirk, and the freestyle of wuli Fanfan is obviously more deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

"Silver Soul" hit a new high at the box office of Japanese live-action movies, and the trend was unclear in the later period.

Directed by Y? Ichi Fukuda and co-starring Oguri Shun, Suda Masaki and Kanna Hashimoto, the live-action version of Japanese manga "Silver Soul" officially landed in China Cinema last Friday. As a long-term serial work of Japanese comic magazine "Weekly Youth JUMP", its popularity in China is also high. The production level of high restoration and the interpretation of the starring actor are without restraint, which moved fans and Japanese cultural lovers to tears, and earned 60.82 million yuan at the box office in the first week of release.

However, The Silver Soul, because of its unique world outlook and wonderful style, will inevitably lead to the polarization of the audience. For ordinary fans who don’t know the original, although the plot is not difficult to understand, there may be many embarrassing moments when watching movies, "What are these deep well ice laughing at?" The daily release rate of this film is around 18% in the two days after its release. If Dunkirk, Star Agent: City of a Thousand Stars and Wolf Warriors 2 continue to rise, and most of the releases are diverted this Friday, it is expected that the release of Silver Soul will be compressed and the future is uncertain.

Black-and-white maze and second love were badly hit by Waterloo, and only won 10 million box office.

Last week, under the impact of imported films, only two films, Wolf Warriors 2, still stuck to the box office heights, and two newly released domestic films, Black and White Labyrinth and Second Love, both filed for August 31st, intending to grab the first pot of gold before Dunkirk and Silver Soul. On the first day of release, the attendance rates of the two films were 16.61% and 10.35%, respectively, far exceeding those of Star Agent: City of a Thousand Stars and Wolf Warriors 2. Unfortunately, the daily screening rates of 5.22% and 5.57% were far less than those of the latter two films, and finally the weekly box office stopped at about 20 million yuan.

Among the new films to be released this week, Spider-Man: The Return of Heroes, which is popular in North America, is bound to set off another wave of superhero movies, and it is expected that Japanese animated films, as another local phenomenal animated film, can once again become dark horse works and rank among the annual rankings. In addition, Mexican animated films and domestic comedy films have been released one after another, making this week’s box office trend full of suspense.

7 days, 168 hours, the story of the heroes of the Water Margin is broadcast, enjoying the rivers and lakes with light and shadow.


Special feature of 1905 film network If you don’t read the water margin, you don’t know the wonders of the world.In this river’s lake, there are Wu Song Jingyang’s heroic fighting tigers, Song Jiang’s brave strategy of attacking Zhujiazhuang three times, Lu Zhishen’s heroic fighting in the town of Kansai, and Lin Chong’s hatred of evil after he was forced to Liangshan … …


As Four Great Classical Novels’s pioneering work, Water Margin is not only a great document reflecting the life of all social strata in China at that time, but also a precious cultural heritage that has a far-reaching impact on the world. The vivid and rich portrayal of the group image of 108 heroes makes everyone’s heroic stories wonderful enough to be passed on independently.



However, apart from the 93rd edition of The Heroes of the Water Margin, the classic literature of The Water Margin has always lacked a series of adaptations for a long time.


Until 2006, 56 films of Heroes of the Water Margin, which were produced by movie channels, directed by,,,,,,,,,,, and other well-known filmmakers, came out one after another, and the most representative hot-blooded stories were "smashed one by one and caught in the net".


Ingeniously, The Tale of Heroes of the Water Margin digs up the stories of heroes in front of Liangshan in a large amount of space, which also reshapes the inherent cognition of heroes in our hearts and makes each character more plump and three-dimensional.



Sun Erniang, the Bitch, is the most distinctive female character in the Water Margin. It is impossible for ancient women to live in a boudoir, playing chess, painting and calligraphy, but she holds up an inn alone, but she has her daughter’s chivalrous heart.


, from the imperial court to the Liangshan hero, from making enemies to killing the enemy together, their stories all show the integrity and courage of the heroes of the Water Margin. The last trip to Liangshan was even more touching.


Lei Heng and Zhu Tong


Yang Jiajiang’s descendants, who once had no choice but to serve the country, were never willing to go with the flow. At the low point of his life, he staged a life-and-death battle for justice and gangs, thus winning the love of the people again … …


More than 50 works have colorful creative types, which show the legendary experience of heroes that are not known to the world in laughter and tears.


Yang Zhi, the Blue-faced Beast


For fans and fans, appreciating these works is undoubtedly the best way to "get together" with Liangshan heroes in the world of light and shadow and enjoy the rivers and lakes. With the original intention of revisiting famous works with light and shadow and empowering movies with famous works, 1905 Film Network launched a weekly studio of "Movie+Four Great Classical Novels’s Heroes of the Water Margin" to rekindle the public’s love for literature and establish historical and cultural confidence in the new era.


The weekly broadcast studio of 1905 Film Network is scheduled to officially open at 12: 00 on June 15th, and more than 50 films of Heroes of the Water Margin will be continuously broadcast in 1905App in the form of "Heroes of the Marsh". 7 days and 168 hours of uninterrupted live broadcast, the audience will shuttle through the pictures of customs and chivalry in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and feel the blood and lofty sentiments of heroes in all directions.



The 168-hour continuous broadcast of "Heroes of the Marsh" will also be a new starting point for the 1905 film network "Movie Plus" weekly broadcast studio. In the future, the weekly studio will also launch 24-hour live broadcasts of different themes such as "Movie+Technology", "Movie+Famous Republic" and "Movie+Historical Dynasty", so stay tuned.

MG7L will become a strong competitor in the business car market in 2007 with its distinguished features of dignity, comfort and safety.

Therefore, its advantages and characteristics can be summarized as five characteristics: maneuverability, safety, comfort, humanization and economy, which can fully meet the needs of modern successful people, and at the same time reflect the inherent taste and art of MG brand, and I believe it will be favored by car owners who love British brands.


  Another sports model of MG7 focuses on the pursuit of power performance and handling pleasure. In addition to the more dynamic and passionate body lines, its sporty characteristics are also manifested in: the chassis is carefully adjusted by the world-famous luxury sports car brands, and the front compact independent suspension and the rear Z-shaped longitudinal swing arm independent suspension are adopted. The connecting sleeves are all made of aluminum required by foreign sports models, which has good curve tracking, smoothness and road impact.


  Double wear alarm and front and rear braking system are adopted, which improves the braking accuracy and safety, and makes the driver feel more control and control fun. In terms of appearance and interior, the appearance adopts British dynamic separation grille, ten-spoke high-flatness dynamic rim, and the tires are Goodyear W-class 215/50R17, which meets the requirements of racing. The interior adopts the dark style that sports cars are used to, and the bucket seat with waist support function is strengthened, so that it embodies clear sports characteristics and exerts the inherent super handling performance of MG brand to the extreme, thus making this model the first real sports car in China.


  On MG MG’s booth, TF sports car, which is widely concerned by sports car lovers in China, is displayed in a unique way. Its purpose is of course to emphasize to the audience the high-quality chassis that can comprehensively reflect the technical and performance advantages of TF sports car, which is also the advantage of MG TF as a typical representative of British sports car. This exquisite sports car designed by Peter Stevens, a famous sports car designer who has designed high-end sports cars such as Lotus, has undoubtedly marked MG TF as a typical feature of "real sports car", while the design concept of absorbing the essence of F1 racing technology makes TF have superb handling and safety performance under the appearance full of personality tension. As the first car of a world-class sports car to land in China, MG TF can be said to be a real representative of sports cars and become the Encyclopedia Britannica.


  It can be seen that MG MG’s determination to build a pure international brand is not only reflected in the detailed planning of the auto show, but also in the product design and process standards that meet the requirements of international standards, and even more reflected in the inheritance of the essence of MG brand culture in the past 100 years.
