In order to revitalize its assets, Country Garden took the lead in selling commercial assets instead of transferring its residential development projects. In today’s market, high-quality commercial assets are easier to cash out. In the past, commercial assets that were considered to be "difficult to get rid of and heavy on assets" may have better liquidity than residential projects.

With the continuous injection of favorable financial policies for real estate, the news of large-scale commercial assets transactions frequently spread in the domestic real estate M&A market, and selling commercial assets has become an important strategy to revitalize the stock of head housing enterprises. After Vanke set up the business department, will Country Garden take a new step?

After Wanda Group’s sale of 10 wanda plaza attracted attention, the news of Country Garden (02007.HK) selling assets was screened.

On the evening of January 22, 2024, Country Garden listed on the Guangzhou Property Rights Exchange and transferred a number of assets, including hotels, office buildings, commercial properties, office buildings, apartment buildings, etc. The total price of assets to be transferred was 3.818 billion yuan.

Since the first debt default in August, 2023, the management of Country Garden has repeatedly stated that it wants to "sell iron" to save itself, from cutting administrative expenses by nearly 60%, shrinking the number of regional companies to 21, selling private jets to Yang Guoqiang, reducing the salary of "working emperor" Mo Bin to 10,000 yuan per month, and even auctioning off the car for senior executives to pay off debts. In order to reverse the predicament, "Cosmic Housing Enterprises" can be described as all kinds of "vicious tricks".

Like most real estate enterprises in danger, Country Garden has inevitably embarked on the road of selling assets to pay off debts, from selling its equity in the Guangzhou Asian Games Town project to transferring the equity of Wanda Commercial Management at a loss, and now it has announced the sale of 3.818 billion yuan of commercial assets in Guangzhou, which is naturally reasonable.

However, as a typical residential real estate developer, Country Garden’s revitalized assets come first with commercial assets, which still surprises many people.

01. First-line commercial assets are put on the "shelf" first.

At the 2024 annual working meeting held on January 15th, Yang Huiyan, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Country Garden Group, once again stressed that "the family must share the fate with the company" and "we are trying our best to revitalize our assets".

The listing and sale of five asset packages in Guangzhou this time shows that Country Garden’s asset revitalization has taken an important step.

According to public information, these five asset packages specifically include: Phoenix Hotel in Zengcheng District, with a price of 1.26 billion yuan, and the highest listing transfer price; Followed by the office building project of Canglongfu in Country Garden, Panyu District, with a price of 1.152 billion yuan; The Grade A office building project of Country Garden Center in Zengcheng District is quoted at 772 million yuan, the Renhe apartment building in Baiyun District is quoted at 384 million yuan, and the AEON commercial property in Country Garden Phoenix City in Zengcheng District is quoted at 250 million yuan.

The highest priced Phoenix Hotel in Zengcheng District is the largest five-star landscape-themed hotel in eastern Guangzhou and one of the few first-tier city hotel projects in Country Garden. It was opened in 2003 and renovated in 2017, with a total of 573 luxury rooms. In addition to the hotel’s assets, Country Garden also sells high-quality office buildings, businesses, apartment buildings and other projects on the counter.

Overall, the quality of Country Garden’s assets on the shelves this time is good. This may be related to its situation.

According to iFind data, by the middle of 2023, Country Garden’s rights and interests attributable to its parent company had further shrunk from a high of 203.623 billion yuan in 2022 to 155.061 billion yuan, and its total liabilities remained at a high level of 1.36 trillion yuan. At the same time, the cash and cash equivalents in Country Garden’s account were 101.115 billion yuan, including 29.454 billion yuan in restricted deposits and cash, and 30.508 billion yuan in accounts receivable and bills in the same period; Short-term loans amounted to 108.703 billion yuan, and accounts payable and notes amounted to 202.237 billion yuan. Money is tight, and selling assets is imminent.

In order to get rid of the predicament, Country Garden has recently made drastic management changes, including merging regional companies, streamlining the structure, and the company’s management taking the initiative to reduce salaries to convey confidence to the market with a positive attitude. In addition to cutting expenses, speeding up the collection of sales payments and receivables, revitalizing large and difficult commercial precipitated assets has become another key measure.

Earlier in September, 2022, Country Garden sold its 26% equity and sales debt of Guangdong Property Rights Exchange Group Investment and Development Co., Ltd. to Jiumaojiu (09922.HK), a Hong Kong-listed catering company.

In August 2023, Country Garden sold 26.67% equity of Guangzhou Asian Games Town Project to China Shipping Real Estate for a total price of about 1.2915 billion yuan. After the acquisition, China Shipping Real Estate became a 100% shareholder of Guangzhou Asian Games Town.

In the same month, Country Garden issued 350 million shares to Jiantao Group (00148.HK), a company listed in Hong Kong stock market, and paid off its debt of HK$ 270 million in the form of "debt-to-equity swap". In the following December, Country Garden sold its stake in Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management at a price of 3.069 billion yuan at a loss of 160 million yuan.

On January 18th, 2024, Country Garden Australia, an Australian subsidiary, sold part of the interest of Wilton Greens to Avantaus, a Chinese private developer, for about A $240 million (about RMB 1.13 billion).

Overall, including this asset sale, Country Garden has not sold many assets so far. As a typical residential real estate developer, Country Garden has invested in more than 3,103 real estate projects in China. Nowadays, in order to revitalize assets, almost all of them are commercial assets, not residential real estate.

According to public information, Country Garden Group’s commercial real estate business is mainly managed by Country Garden Business Travel.

Country Garden Business Travel originated from the business management department established by Country Garden in 2005. It is mainly responsible for undertaking the commercial assets generated in the development of residential business and is positioned to serve residential real estate. In 2018, Country Garden adjusted the commercial sector to the group headquarters, and established Country Garden Business Travel together.

Since 2021, Country Garden Business Travel has gradually focused its operations on shopping centers, and has operated 14 commercial product lines including Bile City, Bile Time, Bijia, Bile Town and Biying International. There are more than 60 group commercial projects under unified management and operation, covering four sectors of commerce, long-term rental, cultural travel and office buildings, and several commercial complexes have been built in cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

According to the data, in 2022, the total construction area of Country Garden Business Travel Project reached 1.13 million square meters, and it landed in 24 cities in 14 provinces across the country. According to the 2023 interim report, the operating income of Country Garden’s property investment and hotel management sector was 2.234 billion yuan, accounting for 0.98% of the total operating income of 226.309 billion yuan, and the asset scale of this sector was not disclosed.

In this asset sale, Country Garden’s "business first" strategy is not uncommon among housing enterprises.

02. Commercial assets are now easier to cash out.

Recently, the enthusiasm of domestic housing enterprises to revitalize their assets is getting higher and higher, and the intention of bringing their projects to the market and revitalizing existing assets to solve the difficulties is getting stronger and stronger. In the real estate M&A market, news of transactions of bulk commercial assets frequently came out, and more and more housing enterprises successfully cashed out.

Looking around the real estate industry, not only Country Garden, but also commercial assets are generally chosen to revitalize the assets of residential housing enterprises.

According to incomplete statistics, in the last three years, the real estate enterprises that sold assets, including at least 15 head real estate enterprises such as Shimao Group (00813.HK), Joy City (000031), OCT (Asia, 03366.HK) and Greenland Holdings (600606), sold projects with a scale of over 100 million yuan, all of which were commercial assets (Table 1).

In contrast, in the residential asset transfer market, except for ST Taihe (000732) and Jinke (000656), the remaining 26 residential developers have only changed hands sporadically.

Wind data shows that from 2021 to 2023, 112 residential related assets were sold by head housing enterprises, with a total transaction scale exceeding 130 billion yuan. In the same period, the transaction scale of commercial real estate projects with a scale of over 100 million yuan nationwide was 102.436 billion yuan, which was similar.

As we all know, the scale of domestic commercial real estate projects is much lower than that of residential real estate assets. In 2023, the national commercial housing sales reached 11.66 trillion yuan. In the same period, the national investment in commercial housing development exceeded 118 million yuan.

The comparison of the two data may reveal a reality-commercial assets that used to be considered as "difficult to get rid of and heavy on assets" are far easier to cash out now than residential development project assets. In other words, the liquidity of residential assets is much lower than that of commercial assets.

Theoretically speaking, superior and high-quality properties in first-and second-tier cities are often easy to directly face C-end sales and withdraw funds without being pushed to the bulk M&A market; Instead of first-and second-tier residential real estate projects, under the background of weak market demand and generally sluggish sales, it is also difficult to transfer equity to B-end financial investment institutions and get cash.

By the first half of 2023, Country Garden’s contracted sales in third-and fourth-tier cities still accounted for 65%. From this point of view, the assets of Country Garden’s residential projects rarely move, but there are difficulties behind putting commercial assets projects on the "counter" first.

Judging from the market transaction cases, domestic commercial offices, industrial logistics, industrial parks, rental housing and consumer infrastructure and other investment real estate have obtained capital bargain-hunting. These commercial projects located in prime locations of first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are actually assets under pressure and have strong appreciation space. Choosing to start when the market sentiment is depressed and the real estate price is down has a high risk-return ratio for investors.

Therefore, Country Garden takes the lead in selling high-quality office buildings, businesses, apartment buildings and other projects in Guangzhou, and it is relatively easier to get the attention of bargain-hunting capital.

03, the breakthrough of housing enterprises to revitalize assets

The warming of commercial assets transactions may be related to the rapid promotion of real estate financial policies in recent years.

Since 2023, the national ministries and commissions have successively issued the Notice on Standardizing and Recommending Real Estate Investment Trust Funds (REITs) Projects in Infrastructure, and the Notice on Further Promoting the Normalized Issuance of REITs in Infrastructure, among which it is clearly stated that priority should be given to supporting urban and rural commercial network projects such as department stores, shopping centers and farmers’ markets, so as to guarantee the basic livelihood of community commercial projects to issue infrastructure REITs.

On October 20th, 2023, China Securities Regulatory Commission issued the Decision on Amending Article 50 of the Guidelines for Public Offering of Infrastructure Securities Investment Funds (Trial), which expanded the types of pilot assets of publicly offered REITs to consumer infrastructure. At the end of the month, the first batch of four consumer infrastructure REITs were approved.

The gradual expansion of the pilot scope of public offering REITs and the launch of real estate private equity investment funds not only mean that the closed loop of real estate finance in China is gradually taking shape, but also inject a great benefit into activating domestic stock assets.

Public offering of REITs is the most critical part of the commercial real estate cycle. Investors have a higher chance to realize the profit exit of the project through REITs or asset securitization, which is the logic of the bargain-hunting capital giving priority to investing in high-quality commercial real estate projects.

Standing in the current deeply adjusted real estate environment, housing enterprises are generally eager to cash out funds to tide over difficulties, and the revitalization of existing commercial assets has become one of the important strategies to promote housing enterprises to get rid of difficulties. Furthermore, the scale and proportion of commercial assets owned by real estate enterprises may affect the speed of revitalizing their existing assets.

After testing the consumption of REITs, on January 14th, 2024, Vanke released the organizational adjustment and personnel arrangement, set up a business division, and unified the commercial business of seven regions and Yinli Group into it, thus raising the development of its commercial real estate to a new height.

After the sale of Guangzhou commercial assets package, Country Garden still has many commercial projects in hand. Will it take a new step to revitalize related assets? We will wait and see.

What are the highlights of "One Heart, One Axis, Six Pavilions and Six Gardens"

The 10th China Flower Expo Park consists of North Garden and South Garden, with a total area of 589 hectares. The overall planning of Huabo Garden adheres to the design concept of respecting the natural texture and maintaining the ecological base and pastoral style. Focusing on the theme of "Flower Chinese Dream" of Huabo Expo, it highlights the flower elements in all directions, makes every effort to create a flower culture atmosphere, and actively uses new technologies and new processes of ecological protection to strive to create a Huabo Garden with the characteristics of the Expo and the characteristics of the times and regions.

The overall planning layout is "one heart, one axis, six pavilions and six gardens", which shows the atmospheric pattern of "blooming flowers and shining China". "One Heart" is the core area of "Garden of Dreams", with peony flowers as the composition element, and through the flower sea, flower diameter, Huaxi and Huagu, the beautiful landscape of Huabo Garden with "peony blooming and welcoming the prosperous times" is created as a whole; The "first axis" is the flower Expo axis, connecting Nanyuan, Yingbin Square, Century Pavilion, Fuxing Square, Fuxing Pavilion and Dongping Town, and arranging flower beds, flower galleries, flower bridges and styles along the line; The "six pavilions" are Fuxing Pavilion, Century Pavilion, Bamboo and Rattan Pavilion, Baihua Pavilion, Flower Art Pavilion and Huaqitang. Six exhibition gardens, namely Magnolia, Plum Blossom, Chrysanthemum, Orchid, Lotus and Bamboo Garden, have been built in the park, focusing on displaying the traditional precious flowers in China and promoting the flower culture in China.

The main exhibition area of Huabo Garden is divided into indoor exhibition area and outdoor exhibition area. The outdoor garden is divided into east and west areas.

The west area is the branch garden of China Flower Association, the international friendship city garden, the international designer garden, the Chinese and foreign flower enterprise garden, the international hundred excellent new product garden, the vegetable garden, the enterprise name garden and so on.

There are 72 new flower varieties independently developed in Beijing and 63 new flower varieties in Shanghai.

A few days ago, we obtained the internal planning of the suspected border from relevant channels. The border will launch the M8 in 2025, which is expected to be delivered in the first quarter of next year, and the price is between 350,000 and 450,000. The revised version of Questionnaires M5 and M7 will be developed on the platform of Seles Rubik’s Cube.

At present, the M8 is in a strict camouflage state, and it is likely to adopt a family-style design style. It is different from the M9 in some details, and the vehicle design is still a stable style. With a length of more than 5 meters and a wheelbase of more than 3 meters, it will provide spacious seating space. Compared with the M9, the tail shape will be tougher, and it is not ruled out that the through taillight design will continue to be adopted. The lines of the tailgate are very angular, which enhances the sense of strength of the whole vehicle. The new car will be equipped with Huawei Gankun ADS 3.0 advanced intelligent driving system, air suspension and CDC variable damping shock absorber. The extended range version adopts pure electric drive extended range platform 4.0, and the pure electric version adopts 800V high-voltage silicon carbide platform.

The redesigned M5 and M7 will adopt a brand-new family design style, and the price of the high-end models of the M7 will continue to go up, connecting with the M8. The price of M5 will be further lowered, which is out of step with M7.

1905 movie network news　The film directed by Li Xiaofeng and produced by Bo Huang was recently released in Pingtan, Fujian. On July 17th, the film exposed a group of starring stills, and the starring lineup composed of powerful actors such as Zhang Yu, Song Jia, Yanhui Wang, Hong Chi Lee, Ancy, Chen Jin, Zhou Zhengjie and Gao Yuhang was first exposed. From the producer to the all-powerful cast of actors, the appearance of "Calm Down" has aroused strong concern and expectation from fans.

With successive wonderful performances, actor Zhang Yu made a blockbuster after his hibernation last year. Bo Huang, who is well-known for his acting skills, directed barrel shooting at the beginning of last year, which was also a great success. This time, the two cooperated "cross-border" in Li Xiaofeng’s new film "Calm Down", with a leading role in front of the stage and a behind-the-scenes producer, which became the "double insurance" of film quality. Together with Song Jia, Yanhui Wang, Hong Chi Lee and Chen Jin, all of them are acting guarantees. The film was officially announced for the first time, and both "quality sense" and "trust" were bursting.

Li Xiaofeng harvests the "double insurance" strength combination in front of and behind Bo Huang Zhangyu, and then welcomes the new challenge.　

Last year, Bo Huang’s directorial debut, The Island, was released, which won a win-win reputation at the box office. This year, he joined the film "Calm Down" as a new producer. It is reported that this film is also one of the works of Bo Huang’s "HB+U New Director Assistance Plan". Director Li Xiaofeng, who has already made two feature films, has been rewarded by Bo Huang’s producer, and Bo Huang, the producer of the script stage, has been deeply involved and put forward his own suggestions in important links such as story direction and character setting. As soon as the play starring himself was finished, Bo Huang flew to the crew of "Calm Down" on an early flight to "give advice" on the set, and worked hard as a producer.

Zhang Yu, first hero of the film, experienced a year of "opening" last year because of Dying to Survive, Nobody and other masterpieces. His acting skills were recognized and he was praised as "seeing Zhang Yu’s name is like seeing the quality inspection stamp of the film". After successively "betting" on two directors, Muye Wen and Rao Xiaozhi, the hot Zhang Yu chose to cooperate with director Li Xiaofeng after settling down. He admitted that he read the script in one breath and was "attracted by the role and theme expression", and decided to act the next day. This time, he will play a different role that is both introverted and explosive, which is also a new challenge he gave himself.

Calm down, Zhang Yu

Being able to get Bo Huang and Zhang Yu to join us at the same time and let them cooperate "across the border" in "Calm Down", director Li Xiaofeng relies on a solid script story. Previously, Li Xiaofeng had been shortlisted for several international film festivals with his films and Pursuit. Calm is his third feature film, which tells the story of how a person chooses and redeems himself in the face of the pressure and betrayal of life. In this suspenseful new story, Li Xiaofeng hopes to give the film "strong emotional penetration" and become a "movie with wonderful narrative, powerful core, empathy with the audience and touching people’s hearts".

Song Jia, Yanhui Wang, Hong Chi Lee, the all-powerful lineup, the acting skills "exceeded the standard", and the dark tide surged behind the calm.

A group of starring stills released at the same time with the news of the killing show us the full strength of the film’s creative lineup for the first time. The black-and-white background color forms a strong visual contrast with the red title, which catches people’s eyes. Looking at Zhang Yu’s role, it can be called changeable, with juvenile paranoia and helplessness at the bottom. This new work has a slightly wrinkled eyebrow, a closed mouth and silent tears, and instantly sees the restraint of an adult. In addition, Song Jia’s gaze, Yanhui Wang’s question and Hong Chi Lee’s hesitation … … Full of emotions poured out in an instant, saying that it was calm, but at the moment it was surging. It is rare to see such an all-acting lineup in domestic films. At first glance, it is full of shock, and then it is full of aftertaste, which also gives us more "trust" in the quality of the film "Calm".

"Calm" Song Jia

In addition to Zhang Yu, other starring roles continue to contribute high-quality roles. Song Jia played the leading role in a film released not long ago, and successfully created a tragic character. And let more people see the acting skills of young actors like Hong Chi Lee and Ancy, who are the leaders of their peers. It is worth mentioning that "Calm Down" is the third cooperation between Yanhui Wang and Zhang Yu after Dying to Survive and "Nobody". Two good actors in appreciate each other are entangled in the father-son relationship, and this time they finally have enough addiction to each other. When the era of traffic gradually passed, the acting school was more and more recognized, and this group can be called the most expressive and expressive lineup in Chinese movies this year.

"Calm Down" was recently released in Pingtan, Fujian. The film is directed by Li Xiaofeng, produced by Bo Huang, and co-starred by Zhang Yu, Song Jia, Yanhui Wang, Hong Chi Lee, Ancy, Chen Jin, Zhou Zhengjie and Gao Yuhang.

　　[Car history] Although the car is not a large-scale manufacturer among Japanese brands, its unique car-making style has never lost to other big manufacturers. In this article, we will introduce one of the most important models of Mazda brand-although the familiar Mazda 3 came out in 2003, it can be said that the history of this car dates back to 1963. Now, let’s learn about the predecessor model of Mazda 3 in the first part.

● The first generation of Familia(1963 -1968)

　　Japanese car companies usually divide the same model into different names according to different countries. For example, Mazda 3 is called Axela and Atenza in Japan, while Mazda 3′ s ancestor model is called Familia, and later it is known as 323. In the early 1960s, Japan’s economy began to rise and develop. At this time, Mazda also began to develop rapidly, and introduced the ——R360, the cheapest car in Japan at that time (the sales volume beat the first 360).

　　The R360 was a great success after it went on the market, and then Mazda began to develop larger models for the Japanese market. In 1961, Mazda brought the newly developed MAZDA ALuce 1000 to the exhibition, which was the prototype of Familia. Familia is Spanish and has the same meaning as English Family. In 1963, the first generation of Mazda Familia came out, and the first model was actually a two-door VAN. (Note: VAN and Wagon are not the same model)

　　The first Mazda Familia car was equipped with a four-cylinder with a displacement of 782cc, so it was called 800. At that time, car companies often used the displacement as the name. What is important is that the exterior design of the car was handed over to the Italian automobile design company, which was completed by a famous designer and immediately became a commercial success after listing. Although Familia 800 Van is a two-door design, due to the model, the spacious trunk and rear space in the car were quite impressive in that year, making it an excellent family car.

　　In the second year after listing, Mazda immediately released the Familia four-door version of the car. Compared with the first van version, the whole car turned into a car, which looks like no contradiction. The body size of 3700×1465×1385(mm), 2190mm, also became a very standard sedan in that year. In terms of power, it is equipped with a 0.8L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 42 HP and a peak value of 59 Nm. With four speeds, the maximum speed can reach 115 km/h. Such a set of data can fully meet the market demand in the 1960s.

　　　Familia sedan has sofa-like integrated seats in the front and rear, chrome-plated rims with white edges and chrome-plated bumpers in the front and rear, which makes this Japanese family car with small size quite like an American car. Two-door models are listed at a time interval of one month. Now it seems that the practice of Japanese cars launching two-door and four-door versions on the same model has already appeared a long time ago, so that diversified cars may also meet different needs of consumers.

　　In 1965, Mazda first upgraded Familia’s 0.8L displacement engine, with an increase of 3 horsepower and a slight increase in torque. At the same time, a new 1.0L displacement engine was introduced to cope with their competitors. The 1.0L engine, which was first installed on two-door models, has a maximum power of 58 HP, a peak torque of 77 Nm and a top speed of 135 km/h.. In 1967, the 1.0L four-door sedan went on the market, and a two-door model was also introduced. As of February 1968, the first generation of Mazda Familia was officially discontinued. During its sales period, its annual output exceeded 10,000 vehicles for several years, and it once became the main model of Mazda brand.

● The second generation Familia(1967 -1977)

　　In 1967, the second-generation Mazda Familia appeared at the Tokyo Auto Show in Japan, and the appearance of the vehicle changed a little. The front part of the vehicle changed from the previous generation of "four-eye" round lights to square headlights, and the redesigned banner-type front middle net looked simple and neat. If it is put now, it will be a standard modified unmarked middle net (joking). The waistline of the side of the car body is adjusted to the lower wheel eyebrows at the height of the door handle, and the overall center of gravity of the vehicle looks lower. Replacing the brand-new rear taillights is much more refined than the first generation models, which improves the appearance grade of the vehicle, and the wheels still continue the collocation of tire white rings and chrome-plated wheels.

　　The second-generation Familia, which just went on the market, used the 1.0L engine of the previous model in power. In 1968, two engines with 1.2L displacement and 1.3L displacement were introduced one after another. In addition, there is another very important thing: in the early 1960s, Mazda introduced technology from Germany, and the company specially set up a "rotor 47 strong man" team to develop this special engine. Mazda matched the rotor engine to the second generation Familia, making this car the second Mazda model equipped with a rotor engine.

　　The Familia model equipped with a rotary engine is called "Familia Rotary" in Japan, and the export version is called "Mazda R100". The 1.0L engine of this car code 10A is designed with two rotors, with a maximum power of 100 HP and a peak torque of 125 Nm, which is the first rotary engine developed by Mazda. At that time, this "Familia Rotary Coupe" was very advantageous in Japan, because it had nearly twice the power compared with the model equipped with the same displacement engine, that is, the piston engine model with the same power needed to be equipped with a larger displacement engine and pay higher taxes.

　　Familia, a family car with a rotary engine, has also been exported to the United States and other countries. After its success, Mazda began to participate in race activities with it. It won the race for the first time in the Singapore Grand Prix in 1969, and even more exaggerated, it won the fifth place in the 84-hour endurance race. In addition, I also participated in many different forms of competitions, which laid the foundation for Mazda to get good results in Le Mans. (The 787B racing car with rotary engine won the Le Mans championship for Mazda)

　　Due to various unstable factors, the rotary engine was still unable to replace the traditional piston engine at that time. Finally, Familia was abandoned to use the rotary engine, and the main power units were the 1.2L engine with the maximum power of 58 horsepower and the 1.3L four-cylinder engine with 69 horsepower. In 1973, the second-generation Mazda Familia ushered in a change and renamed it "Familia Presto". The appearance of the changed model changed, with a wider body and a more luxurious appearance, but these changes were only for two-door and four-door cars, and the styles of travel trucks and pickup trucks remained unchanged.

　　By 1977, the production of the second generation Familia was coming to an end. Mazda mainly adjusted the vehicle emissions before stopping production. Due to the restrictions of Japanese regulations, Familia no longer used 1.0L displacement engines, but mainly used 1.3L displacement engines. Finally, there was an episode in the second-generation Familia model. Korean cars bought the production license of the car from Mazda, renamed it "Kia Brisa", and slightly modified the appearance, and produced it from 1974 to 1981.

　　The popularity of "Kung Fu Panda" has once again plunged Chinese audiences into the contradiction of disappointment and expectation of domestic animation. Under such circumstances, the appearance of "The Story of the Wind and Cloud" on the 19th is undoubtedly timely. Yesterday, the film’s investors held a grand and ingenious premiere celebration in Shanghai Circus City, launching the national publicity offensive of "The Story of the Wind and Cloud" with a high profile. The film’s voice actors Nicholas Tse, Ren Xianqi, Tong Zirong, Han Xue, Jiang Xiaohan and others came to the scene to promote their "voice" animated film. Stars such as Patty Hou and Hero joined the film as guests.

　　■ Movies

　　Story: Difficult to understand if you are not a "fan of the situation"

　　The film is based on the classic comic "Wind and Cloud" by the famous Hong Kong cartoonist Mr. Ma Rongcheng. The story takes place between the first and second parts of "Wind and Cloud", and the new villain is added to tell the story of Wind, Cloud and Nameless to stop the ambition of arrogance and trigger the dramatic changes in the martial arts.

　　The film is two hours long, from beginning to end, with a compact plot and first-class sound effects. But I don’t know if the screenwriters are too confident in the "mass base" of "Wind and Cloud" comics and film and television dramas. The plot of "Wind and Cloud" is jumping and the plot is not coherent. After the movie meeting yesterday afternoon, many reporters on the scene said they did not understand it. "I haven’t seen the Wind and Cloud series, and it took 30 minutes to figure out who the main characters in the film are with whom."

　　The "Wind and Cloud" comic was imaginative, but in the animated film, it was not clearly displayed. For example, many reporters felt that they could not understand the process of Nie Feng’s infection with unicorn poison. As for the new villain, Pride, the audience was not disgusted. "There should be a decent villain in the cartoon itself. In the first movie, Xiongba died, and of course another one should come out. It can be seen that the adapters have also worked hard, but the character of Pride is too clear, which has diluted the personality of Feng and Yun a lot."

1905 movie network news　　On the evening of December 22, the 11th "Macao International Film Festival" held an awards ceremony, and the film won the Golden Lotus Award for Best Actor in one fell swoop. The Macao International Film Festival was founded by the Macao Film and Television Media Association in 2009 to create a film carnival that world filmmakers and the general public participate in together. The red carpet ceremony that night was star-studded, and Yu attended the awards ceremony on behalf of the "Teacher · Good" crew in a traditional long gown. This year’s Macao International Film Festival is chaired by the national first-class actor Ge You, and the famous director Feng Xiaogang is the artistic director.

The Movie.Teacher · good"

Produced by Yu Qian and directed by Zhang Luan, starring Yu Qian, and starring young actors such as Tang Mengjia, Wang Guangyuan, Qin Mingyue, and Xu Zili, the film tells the story of Miao Wanqiu, a teacher played by Yu Qian, and a group of students with distinct personalities "fighting wits and bravery" in Nansuyi Middle School in 1985. Since its release, "Teacher Hao" has become a new "domestic dark horse" with the market performance ability of both box office and word-of-mouth. Countless audiences were moved to tears by the plot of the film. Finally, the counterattack reached the top and the box office was 353 million yuan.

Yu Qian delivered an acceptance speech

In addition to the high degree of completion of the film itself and the delicate emotional portrayal, the most commendable is the film’s absolute star Yu Qian. This time, Yu Qian was able to stand out from Wu Jing, Gu Tianle, Zhang Hanyu, Fan Wei, Deng Chao, Shen Teng and other acting and powerful male actors and won the Best Actor Award at the 11th Macao International Film Festival. It is necessary to mention his wonderful performance in "Teacher · Good". He turned from a gorgeous comedian to a gorgeous actor and picked up a lesson plan. Yu Qian successfully created a "domineering" Chinese teacher Miao Wanqiu that students love and hate. In order to present the image of Miao Wanqiu’s teacher from middle age to old age in front of the audience, Yu Qian needs to go through the preparation period of fake leather before applying makeup, inversion, fake leather molding, etc When it came to the actual shooting, the makeup application time was as long as 5 hours, and the shooting time coincided with the hottest period of the local weather. After the makeup was completed, he had to complete all the scenes in one go. Yu Qian wore makeup for several hours to shoot, and even the "fake skin" was not taken off during the break.

Under the stage of the awards ceremony

He won the Best Actor Award after being nominated for the first time, which shows that Yu Qian’s simple and natural performance not only moved the audience, but also won the unanimous recognition of professional judges inside and outside the industry, which can be said to be expected by everyone. Yu Qian said humbly in his acceptance speech: "In fact, I am accepting the award on behalf of all the teachers today, and I am able to get the affirmation of the organizing committee. This is not my own credit. I want to thank the director, the staff of the entire crew, and every teacher. Without their hard work, there would be no achievement today."

?

The film "Teacher · Good" won three nominations at the 11th Macao International Film Festival for Best Film Award, Best Screenplay Award, Best Actor Award and finally won the Best Actor Award. It is reported that the new film directed by "Teacher · Good" director Zhang Luan and starring actors such as Allen and Deiss is currently entering the post productin stage, and the film may be released to the audience in 2020.

"Invitation" once again returns to the "teacher-student relationship" that director Zhang Luan is good at. It tells the story of Ou Ye, a volunteer teacher, who faces a fragmented life and a situation where his talents are not met. For the sake of his own and his children’s dreams, he decides to set foot in the United States with the children of the country choir by chance and embarks on an ironic road trip.

Fuzhou’s first batch of 100 "official taxis" hit the road, starting at 15 yuan for 3 kilometers

　　According to reports, the first batch of 100 "official taxis" invested by Fuzhou Bus Taxi Company will be tailored to the different needs of each vehicle employer.Provide three service methods: real-time car use, conference service or medium and long-distance car use, and fixed-point guaranteeAmong them,Vehicles providing designated security services will be parked outside the Fuzhou Municipal Government Office Area on standby, for deployment. The price adopts the rental car billing standard, on-site settlement, and whoever uses it pays.

　　Xiao Chen, a staff member of Fuzhou Bus Taxi Co., Ltd.:"We are nowWhat was sent was the 1.8T executive version of PassatBut for example, when a civil servant needs to travel on official business, when the car is urgently needed, the nearby vehicles are also allocated according to the company’s existing situation"

　　The real-time car usage method is aimed at daily business trips, temporary meeting trips, etc. The car employer can make an appointment by calling a car and other methods. At8During the working hours, the electric call dispatching platform shunts the nearest car.30Arrive at the car location within minutes, and the starting price is based on the type of vehicle, the approximate rental time, and the distance.15Yuan, starting mileage3Kilometers.

　　It is worth noting that in order to increase vehicle usage, this100car"Official taxi"In addition to providing official vehicle customization services for government departments and government agencies, it alsoIt can provide services for civil servants’ family cars, but the passengers must show their civil servant documents before they can take a ride. Civil servants who travel privately can enjoy a 20% discount…"Only for civil servants, official vehicles have been cancelled to provide them with convenience. Before boarding, show us the certificate."

Fuzhou car reform office and taxi companies have responded

　　As soon as this matter was reported, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Many people wondered, isn’t the bus being reformed?"Official taxi"How did that happen?

　　To this, the relevant departments responded –

The person in charge of the Vehicle Reform Office of the Fuzhou Development and Reform Commission:

The "official taxi" is a plan designed by the company itself, which is completely a market behavior, and the government does not participate. For "official taxis", Fuzhou City has not given any investment or subsidies, nor has it signed any cooperation agreement.

The public attention on the reform of public transportation is high, and enterprise innovation services should not be used as an opportunity to hype, let alone cause public misunderstanding.

Relevant person in charge of Fuzhou Bus Taxi Co., Ltd.:

The company believes that the civil service car market has great potential after the bus reform, and the "official taxi" launched this time is a business conduct aimed at exploring the market.

The "20% discount for civil servants" clause in the plan is a promotional method for enterprises to expand the market; "providing services for civil servants’ family cars" is also a way of publicity to expand the number of customers.

　　On the streets of Fuzhou"Official taxi"There are only a few hundred of them, but they have earned the attention of the national media. The Internet is also filled with public concern."Official taxi"What causes anxiety? How can we rationally look at this new thing?

CCTV Comment: A Dialectical View of "Official Taxi"

"Official taxis" have exploratory significance

　　For some time, the reform of buses has gradually deepened, and many places have been reforming buses"shift period"Try to reform the supporting system. In this context,"Official taxi"Going into people’s field of vision and trying to solve the problem of civil servants’ travel in a socialized way has certain exploration significance.

　　This time, Fuzhou Bus Taxi Company launched"Official taxi"Service, if it is true as the Fuzhou Development and Reform Commission’s Vehicle Reform Office said, the government did not participate in the decision-making of the enterprise, and the government did not invest or subsidize it during operation. Then, it can be seen that the enterprise makes business decisions based on the judgment of the official travel market.

　　In the process of comprehensively deepening reform, it is essential to properly handle the relationship between the government and the market.In many areas of reform, the government’s blanket model has gradually withdrawn, and enterprises have filled the vacuum through social services, which is a normal phenomenon in many cases.If only this time"The government belongs to the government, and the market belongs to the market."Perhaps people’s concerns are overblown.

"Official taxis" cannot be reduced to "privileged cars"

　　Since it is"market behavior"Why has it aroused such high public concern and concern? In one sentence, it reveals the secret, that isPeople were worried that this was a resurgence of the irrational use of official vehicles, that the "privileged service" would reappear as a vest, that new bottles of old wine would be put into old bottles in some places during the reform, and that the painstaking reform of public transportation would be abandoned halfway…

　　People’s anxiety is not without reason."Official taxi"There are several details in the service that raise concerns.

　　Well, first of all."Official taxi"The target audience is mainly civil servants. As we all know, in a market economy, no product can be suitable for all ages and everyone. Any product or service is only aimed at a specific target group. However, when serving the target group, the product should not discriminate against non-target groups. Regrettably,The target audience of "business taxis" is strictly limited, and even "requires passengers to show official documents", which is feared to become a "privilege" again…

　　Secondly,"Official taxi"The service provider is Fuzhou Bus Taxi Company, a state-owned enterprise. The left hand is a government agency, and the right hand is a state-owned enterprise. People worry about whether there will be transactions behind it. On the one hand, state-owned enterprises escort the car services of government departments; on the other hand, when enterprises lose money, will the government pay for it? Although the form has changed,People are concerned that this is still taxpayers paying for unreasonable official vehicles…

　　And thirdly,"Official taxi"20% off for private travel of civil servants. Such"Special products"or"Special needs service"For ordinary people, it is definitely not a blessing. Since public officials travel privately, why don’t they take taxis or buses like ordinary citizens? On the other hand, the 20% discount service may be a bonus and service extension of the usual official ride.Since official travel is paid by the public and benefits from private travel, what is the rationality?

Adhere to "market logic" and let "official taxis" become "sunshine taxis"

　　Of course, the above concerns inevitably lead to scrutiny of the details with magnifying glasses, and inevitably lead people to think the worst. But this just shows that the road to reform has never been smooth, and only by adhering to the right direction and principles can we ensure the final success of reform.

　　"Official taxi"It is not a bad thing to cause anxiety. Only through analysis and discussion can the truth become clearer and clearer.As long as we firmly adhere to the direction and principles determined by the bus reform, firmly adhere to the socialization and market-oriented reform logic, and ensure openness and transparency in decision-making and operation, "official taxis" will move towards the direction of "sunshine taxis", and the bus reform will not be far from success.
