Recently, a small animal named White-fronted Spider became popular on the Internet. Some netizens pointed out that it is an "artifact to kill cockroaches", feeding on cockroaches, and "only climbing the wall without climbing the bed" and "non-toxic and harmless". According to a survey conducted by Beijing Youth Daily reporter, the sales volume and price of the white-fronted spider have both increased on the online sales platform.

　　However, animal experts pointed out that the white-fronted spider does not prey on cockroaches, but feeds on small insects including cockroaches. Experts pointed out that it is irrational to kill cockroaches with white-fronted spiders, and the effect is not as remarkable as that of various chemical and physical methods on the market. Although the toxicity of white-fronted spiders is weak, they still have the risk of causing allergies and inflammation.

　　The white-fronted spider is accused of being an "artifact for killing cockroaches"

　　Cockroaches, as common pests, like to chew on food and household appliances, and spread diseases during this period. However, because of its tenacious vitality and exuberant fertility, how to eliminate them has become a headache for many people. In view of this, many chemical cockroach killing drugs have been introduced in the market, and some people have pointed out that cockroaches can be caught by physical methods such as sugar water. Recently, an alleged "cockroach killing artifact" has become popular on the Internet, attracting many netizens to try it.

　　This online celebrity "cockroach killing artifact" is the white-fronted spider. Some netizens said that this spider is the natural enemy of cockroaches and "feeds on cockroaches". In the hot video, netizens let a white-fronted spider and a cockroach "share a room". Then, the spider caught the cockroach nearby and swallowed it in a few bites. Some netizens said that the white-fronted spider "only climbs the wall but not the bed" and "is nontoxic and harmless", so it can be safely raised in large quantities at home to "shock" cockroaches. However, some netizens questioned: Is the white-fronted spider really harmless? Can a large number of breeding really play the role of "killing cockroaches"

　　Li Ning (pseudonym), a resident of Fujian, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he lives in the south. When the climate is hot and humid, cockroaches often haunt his home. "There are children and pets at home, so I dare not use the cockroach killing medicine because I am afraid of being eaten by mistake. I heard that it (white-fronted spider) can eat cockroaches, so I bought it. " Li Ning recalled that the first purchase was in December last year. "I left it at home and it was not long before I lost it." In July this year, Li Ning bought another one from the Internet. "If you catch a cockroach in front of it, it will eat it, but I have never seen it chasing after it, and it doesn’t eat much. It basically eats one or two (cockroaches) and stops eating."

　　The seller sells "Net Starscream" by size.

　　Searching on the e-commerce platform found that there are not a few sellers selling white-fronted spiders. On the product introduction page, many merchants played the banner of "natural enemy of cockroaches" and "zero harm to people" and distributed videos of white-fronted spider preying on cockroaches. It is observed that most sellers price spiders according to their size, which are divided into 5-7 cm, 8-10 cm and 10-12 cm, and the price ranges from 10 yuan to 30 yuan.

　　Many merchants said that thanks to the label of "cockroach killing artifact", the white-fronted spider is selling well recently, and the number of people placing orders and the price have increased compared with before. Some merchants have also introduced that they have been selling white-fronted spiders since a few years ago. Most of the spiders sold come from the wild, and only a few are farmed.

　　However, in the comment area of hot-selling goods, buyers’ comments on "Starscream" are polarized. Some buyers left a message saying that as soon as they received spiders, they kept them at home, "feeling less cockroaches." However, some buyers said that after receiving the "Net Red Spider", they didn’t see it actively catching cockroaches, and even put the spider and two small cockroaches in a mineral water bottle. The spider didn’t hunt cockroaches like in the video released by the merchant.

　　In this regard, the merchant explained, "There are limited conditions for catching cockroaches. You can’t feed it in advance. When it is hungry, put it in a sealed area for it to catch cockroaches. For example, in a kitchen of 5 square meters, close the door and put a spider. " During the communication, the merchant also stressed that the white-fronted spider usually does not need to be fed. "Its food is cockroaches. If it is not full, it will find insects to eat, such as flies, mosquitoes and moths. It eats them all. Moreover, it is very hungry, and it is okay not to eat for a month. "

　　In addition, the merchants said that "spiders are harmless and don’t bite people". "Normally, they are afraid of people and will stay away. Even if you are bitten, it is just like being bitten by a mosquito, bulging a small bag. " Merchants also introduced that the activity area of the white-fronted spider is concentrated on the wall and ceiling. "Under normal circumstances, it will not climb into the bed or closet and will not disturb people’s normal life."

　　expert

　　"Spider killing cockroaches" is not reliable and the effect is not as good as medicine.

　　Is it reliable to rely on the "net spider" to prey on cockroaches? Diao Kunpeng, a researcher at the Shanshui Nature Reserve Center in Haidian District, Beijing, said that the white-fronted spider is a common spider, which mostly moves indoors, likes dark and damp, hides in corners, behind wardrobes and other places, and is often distributed in the south.

　　However, Diao Kunpeng explained that this spider does not prey on cockroaches, but feeds on small insects including cockroaches. "So, use the white-fronted spider ‘ Kill cockroaches ’ Obviously, it is not very reliable. This effect is not seen to be more efficient than various chemical and physical methods for killing cockroaches on the market. " In view of the fact that some sellers catch the white-fronted spider in the wild, Diao Kunpeng pointed out that although the white-fronted spider is not a rare animal, excessive human intervention will have a negative impact on the ecology in the long run.

　　Is "Starscream" non-toxic and harmless? Diao Kunpeng said that all spiders are toxic. Although the white-fronted spider will not take the initiative to hurt people, there is still the risk of being bitten in a closed environment. "Although the toxicity of the white-fronted spider is weak, it is not as some people say ‘ After being bitten, just drum a mosquito bag ’ That’s all. Especially for people with allergies, it is more harmful after being bitten and there is a risk of causing allergies and inflammation. "

Special feature of 1905 film network The director "spelled" for the film.

He broadcast live on the short video platform until late at night, and was rejected nine times with netizens. In the process, he said countless thanks and was even ridiculed. In short, Song Haolin actively "opened" for the film.

　

The first time I met the director was at a meeting after the film was released. Without the support of the industry, without the lens of the media, only the feedback from the amateur audience. At that time, a girl stood up very excitedly and told the director that this was her way of signing up for various viewing groups, and she brushed the movie. She was still crazy about Amway among her girlfriends. After that, he raised his mobile phone, as if he wanted to convey his Amway effect to the founders.

　

The director said that he had been listening to everyone’s reaction at the gate of the cinema during the screening. After hearing everyone’s laughter, he slowly calmed down and felt that he had found the audience. But he did not forget to ask the audience to go to various ticketing platforms to order a "want to see".

　

When we met for the second time, it was the interview announcement day, and we jokingly asked him if he was mentally prepared in case he really parachuted like a rumor. He is dull, "I hope that efforts can be seen, and I hope that everyone’s efforts will be waiting in the distance."

　

It was the end of July, half a month before the original film schedule. But in the end, because of the epidemic prevention and control, like other films in the same file, it chose to meet the audience at the best time.

　

The movie was rescheduled, and finally we met The Battle at Lake Changjin. We asked the director again, will the mentality change now? He told us that this time, he was much more calm. After this period of precipitation, looking back at the fighting propaganda before, he cherished the process of everyone’s efforts.

　

Everything caters to the content he conveyed on various occasions. The theme of "Five Boys Saving the Water" is "Ordinary". Besides this "ordinary", there are still flashes.

Vol.1

When the project "Five Boys Drowning in the Water" was handed to Song Haolin, he didn’t have an answer in his heart, just thinking about whether it was suitable or not.

　

In any case, he put all his requirements before the production, and if possible, everyone will continue to push forward. Unexpectedly, after the producer saw these requirements, there was a "noisy" inside. But it is precisely this that makes the team think that this project belongs to Song Haolin, "because he has a stubborn spirit, which is exactly what this project needs."

　

The two sides soon promoted cooperation, and Song Haolin’s adaptation space was "as long as five high school students who practiced synchronized swimming were satisfied". This also means that he can break the original, re-establish the theme of this project, and re-construct the character design of the role.

　

To this end, Song Haolin went to a strange city alone and made a simple retreat.

At that time, Song Haolin was at a special stage. "I am rethinking what kind of director I want to be, and even wondering if I am suitable to be a director." Many cruel problems need him to face directly. He has his own embarrassment. He is in his forties. His previous cinema film was wildly recommended by Amway. Under the heat, a lot of capital came to the door, but his enthusiasm faded, and many of them became more vain.

　

"I began to face up to myself that some places are quite ordinary."The creation of "Five Boys Drowning in the Water" became a process of dialogue between Song Haolin and himself. In this state of reflection, Song Haolin slowly explored the theme of the film, and then what happened during the Spring Festival made him more determined.

　

At noon that day, Song Haolin ordered a takeaway at home and didn’t arrive until the afternoon. After opening the door, the delivery clerk bowed to him madly and apologized. There was no other delivery clerk to deliver that day, and it was really impossible to deliver it. "After closing the door, I couldn’t calm my mood for a long time. She is an ordinary person, but she may be a very good mother or wife. "

　

Song Haolin suddenly realized that both himself and most people around him are actually ordinary, but everyone’s life is still very wonderful. As a result, this has become the theme of the movie "Five Boys Who Save the Water". Even the hero’s name is the most common one, and it will not be remembered in the crowd — — "Zhang Wei".

　

Vol.2

When I didn’t really see the film, everyone threw a question to the director, "How to adapt it locally?" After all, the original version of "Five Boys Who Save the Water" has scored 8.4 points so far, and at the same time, it has won the popularity of actors.

But for Song Haolin, his story is brand-new, that is, the story of five high school students, and everyone has a high school experience, not an adaptation, but a translation of life.

　

Five teenagers, one schoolmaster and four "school scum".

　

When Song Haolin was studying, he was not a good boy in the traditional sense. From time to time, he was called to the office by the teacher, but he was very outstanding in literature and art, and the teacher could do nothing about him. These stories belonging to his past have all become the inspiration for Song Haolin’s creation of Five Boys Who Drove the Water.

　

During the period of seclusion, he found the key to enrich the characters, and also remembered those old friends. "I just concentrated their special ones and put them all on these characters." Finally, except Chen Minghan, the other four characters all carry the shadow of Song Haolin and his classmates around them.

　

After the characters are established, slowly build the whole script. The whole process is very long. Until the beginning of 2020, the script as a whole was relatively mature, and the crew officially released a picture of actor recruitment. What followed was all kinds of questions.

　

At that time, the epidemic had just come, so all the casting work of actors had to be moved online. Because movies are mainly synchronized swimming, Song Haolin has an absolute requirement for actors — — Excellent swimming skills.

　

In the casting scheme, Song Haolin considered looking for a group of professional athletes to shoot like that, but after communication, many factors could not really contribute and had to give up.

At the same time, he also understands that this story is not like Leap’s, but tells the story of professional athletes. Five Boys Who Save the Water is a story of ordinary high school students learning synchronized swimming.

　

In the end, the team decided to choose a teenager with performance skills.

　

At this time, Song Haolin still has two choices, one is to choose a more famous actor, and the other is a group of new people. Everyone knows that if the actor can find someone with a topic, then the follow-up publicity of the film can save a lot of worry, but Song Haolin gave up this option.

　

"I am more concerned about whether the actor can devote enough time to real training and whether he can devote himself wholeheartedly. Most importantly, I especially hope that these five children will not only show a good relationship on the big screen, but will really become good friends in life. Because the true feelings between people can actually be presented in front of the big screen. "

　

Song Haolin, who has worked with well-known actors, knows that these requirements for actors are not absolutely unsatisfied, but in the follow-up coordination, the difficulty will be very great. "So we simply started to use new actors. Of course, we are also bearing the difficulties in publicity now." In order to choose the right actors, Song Haolin has seen more than 1000 actors.

　

Vol.3

, Feng Xiangkun, Li Xiaoqian, Wu Junting and Wang Chuan, five people made up Five Boys Who Save the Water.Of these five people, except Xin Yunlai, she participated in the performance.Sadness flows against the river, and other supporting roles in film and television works, others are completely blank.

　

Wu Junting was an accident of Song Haolin. In the original script, the role of the prince was a little fat man. But when Song Haolin met Wu Junting, the story changed. At first, everyone thought that Wu Junting seemed to be very suitable for the role of Gao Fei. "He is 1.88 meters tall and very idol." Later, everyone found that Wu Junting had a particularly cute temperament. "I think Xiao Wu will play the prince, and there will be something very different."

　

Therefore, Song Haolin set the "prince" as close as possible to Wu Junting. At the same time, the choice of the role of "Goofy" has been adjusted almost simultaneously.

　

Li Xiaoqian looks very quiet, even literary and artistic. This appearance temperament is bound to be inconsistent with Goofy’s arrogant state. But Song Haolin will always think of this child.

　

"Later, when training, he was really the kind of child who didn’t talk much, but he was very hardworking. Everyone is resting and he is still practicing. " This kind of stubbornness in his bones makes Song Haolin very sure that he is flying high.

　

In the end, these five boys, who are full of teenagers themselves, became the protagonists of the film. In fact, when casting, "being good at swimming" is a prerequisite. What Song Haolin didn’t expect was that when training really started, these five people were gone, and only Wang Chuan could really swim. In addition, Wu Junting even "cheated" him that he was the little prince of the reservoir.

　

Regardless of whether they can swim or not, the crew invited the former coach of the national synchronized swimming team to be as strict with these five teenagers as training professional athletes. The time left for them is not much, but less, three months.

　

In Song Haolin’s view, these five teenagers can be replaced at any time if they can’t train well. Now that you have taken some risks, you must present the best results. However, the teenagers did not give the director a chance to change, "they will not have the idea that they are not suitable."

　

This kind of momentum is very much like the way five boys work hard for the final flower swim competition in the movie. During the training period, five teenagers eat and live together, which is almost the routine of athletes. They train for at least six hours during the day, and then have performance classes at night, with only one day off every week.

　

Vol.4

From June to September, five teenagers handed in beautiful report cards.

　

But this does not mean that the shooting is very smooth. There was a scene in the Aquarium. At that time, it was winter, and the water temperature was only over 10 degrees. The actors had to go into the water, but only when they arrived at the scene did they find that the pool was particularly dirty. Usually dolphins lived in it, with a water depth of almost 5 meters, and it was full of dolphin excrement. In order to make progress, the actors had to go into the water.

　

In addition, during the filming process, a typhoon was encountered, and many equipments were damaged, resulting in the subsequent filming plan being completely disrupted. Difficulties abound during the filming, not to mention the injuries of actors. "They also love me dearly, and sometimes they don’t tell me."

This detail made Song Haolin warm-hearted and scared, and reached an agreement with the actors. "You must tell me if you are injured, and you must trust our judgment. If you don’t say it, you will hold on now, but it may affect the follow-up work, and the price will be big."

　

The transition of film shooting also brings great difficulty. Five cities, including Yangzhou, Xiamen, Quanzhou and Jinjiang, were designed for the filming of "Five Boys Drowning in the Water". However, unlike Xiamen, many cities have rich experience in actor shooting. "We had a play filmed in Quanzhou at that time, and we needed a lot of group performances. At that time, we transferred group performances from Xiamen. As a result, once, our actors were stuck on the expressway and had to find local people to participate. " However, the inexperienced people’s "slow shooting" in performance also made the shooting progress particularly difficult.

　

The difficulty doesn’t seem to stop at the shooting period. During the later period of the film, Song Haolin was also "uncomfortable".

　

Although the hero is Zhang Wei, on the whole, the film is more like a group drama, and the stories of five boys are extraordinarily three-dimensional. Group images are not easy to shoot, and they need a lot of content to support them in order to convince the audience.

　

The initial cut of the film is as long as three hours. Obviously, this time is not suitable for a youth movie shown in the cinema. How to cut and highlight what is a big problem before Song Haolin.

　

In this short video era, it is sometimes difficult for Song Haolin to calm down and appreciate some deep-seated content, and think about it. Finally, it is simply difficult to get rid of the inner scenes of the characters. "There will be a little loss, and those contents will make the spiritual things deeper."

　

Vol.5

After all kinds of events, the film finally saw the world. Douban score is currently 7 points, which is 0.1 points higher than when it was split, and it is already a high score in the remake of youth movies in recent years.

　

We asked Song Haolin’s expected score, but he didn’t care. "When I care, does this movie ignite the audience?" This is the third feature film directed by Song Haolin independently, and it is the first work to really face the market.

Although the past "Summer in Itaro" has been recognized by the Golden Rooster Award, Shanghai International Film Festival and other film festivals, for him, the past creations are all more self-expression.

　

Did Song Haolin find the answer to "What kind of director do you want to be" after Five Boys Who Drove in the Water?

　

"I found it in the process, or I am still looking for it."

He gave an ambiguous answer, but he may not be in a hurry now, because he recently had a new question, "What do I care about when the work is done, or how to get into the audience’s heart?"

　

Perhaps the answer this time is to find that answer on his way to find an audience for Five Boys Who Save the Water.

When did the rap culture in China begin to awaken?

Most people will answer without hesitation: that summer in 2017.

On June 24th, 2017,Iqiyi broadcasted the first issue of "Hip-hop in China", and since then, it has brought China rap from "underground" to "above ground"..

In the following four years, iQiyi continued to exert its strength in the variety of rap, with the series "China New Rap" from 2018 to 2020 and "Youth Rap Plan" in 2021. However, from the data, everyone still remembers the first year of "Hip-hop in China". However, the popularity of the program is getting worse year by year, and the Douban score of China New Rap 2020 even hit a record low, only 4.4 points.

At present, "China Rap Summit" has been launched for three times, and the broadcast volume and discussion degree are still increasing. According to the veege list, "China Rap Summit" is not only the first in the variety show index list in the first half of 2022, but also the first in the variety show index list in the first half of 2022.　

This means that,"China Rap Summit" is likely to become the first "explosive" sound ensemble in the depressed variety market in 2022.After six years of rap variety, it is also at stake to make a turnaround.

Zuo Jin, the general director of China Rap Summit, told the unicorn,"From the creator’s point of view, we are not thinking about making an explosion and what kind of market we want to occupy. What I think more about is how we can bring the content of this project to the audience in an innovative mode. "　

What we want to realize when we implement the program "China Rap Summit" is to bring the audience a quality and original stage and beautiful and widely circulated music works. These are what the audience really needs and yearns for, and they are also the key to the program’s sustainability.

After six years of broadcasting,Rap variety must face up to aesthetic fatigue

　

The biggest fear of a comprehensive N-generation program is that the audience will feel weak about the program.

In 2017, the Douban score of "Hip Hop in China" was 7.1, and more than 59,000 people evaluated the program. Four years later, China New Rap 2021 scored only 4.4 on Douban, with only 16,000 raters. So in 2021, Iqiyi, Mango TV and bilibili all started to develop new rap variety, in order to cultivate more new rap forces.

From 2017 to 2020, rap variety shows are mostly conducted in the form of selected programs. These "rap talent shows" have unearthed many excellent rapper. For example, KEY.L Liu Cong, Gem, Bridgebridge, TizzyT, Wan Nida Vinida, etc.

This year, "China Rap Summit" has innovated the competition system of rap programs, increased the appreciation and competitiveness of the programs by the mode of competition, and made each program a thrilling battle.

The first two periods of 1v1 confrontation, the third period of 2v2 confrontation, and then 3v3 confrontation with the brand, with the progress of the program, the competition situation will become more and more fierce.

Zuo Jin, the general director, said, "After the program was broadcast, we launched the registration of the kick-off competition on the Internet. In the next few issues, the program will soon usher in a recruitment competition. We invited 12 players who kicked the pavilion, first conducted a round of strong internal confrontation, and finally selected 6 rappers who were qualified to kick the pavilion to challenge the 24 rappers in the main stadium. "

In addition to the brand-new competition system, China Rap Summit also made a new breakthrough in dance beauty.

In previous years, the design of rap variety venues loved to take the heavy industrial metal wind. In the freestyle link of Hip Hop in China, the whole stage was designed as an old station warehouse. The stacking of props such as dead trees, paint buckets, broken cars and broken fans makes the stage style more wild and hip-hop.

The beautiful dance design of China Rap Summit,In addition to the original industrial wind, a more atmospheric LED light show is added.. General director Zuo Jin introduced,The main concept of the stage of China Rap Summit is a power station.. The idea of designing a power station means that China rap is powerful and can continuously deliver electricity to the Chinese music scene.

In addition, "China Rap Summit" alsoAn off-site commentary seat was added, and Wilber Pan, Chi and Wang Meng were invited as commentators.. After Wang Meng appeared, the barrage floated by, "My ears are rulers". The fresh explanation form and the Olympic champion who is very fresh to Harbin Circle can greatly stimulate the audience’s enthusiasm for discussion.

However, just as the idol trainee market has insufficient talent reserves due to frequent variety shows, the annual "rap draft" will also make the talent in the rap market in short supply. Round after round, the program will inevitably become more and more boring.

In choosing rapper, "China Rap Summit" is also constantly breaking down the platform barrier. Zuo Jin, the general director, said that when the program invited contestants, it considered inviting rapper who came out of rap variety shows on other platforms.

Gai, the champion of Hip-hop in China, Ai Ge, KeyNG and Li Jialong, the champion of China New Rap Champion, Capper, the champion of Youth Rap Planning, and Good Morning, the champion of Rap Listen to Me, all gathered in China Rap Summit. Even Brother OG, a judge of rap programs such as Hip Hop in China, New Rap in China and New Rap Generation, once again came to the show to participate in the competition.

Although the list of 24 rappers in China Rap Summit was announced, many netizens saw these familiar rappers’ names, saying that the program was "rapper braving the wind and waves", "Old rap in China" and "I can’t forget this night in Harbin".

However, due to the great changes in the usual competition system, the concept of dance beauty and the link design of China Rap Summit, people’s doubts that China Rap Summit is "old wine in an old pot" gradually disappeared after the third program was broadcast.

Race with "anxiety":Self-cultivation of variety artists

　

As the "first person to eat crabs" in rap variety, Iqiyi will naturally focus all eyes on this platform when people mention rap.

　"A bunch of people are waiting to see what you can achieve and how you can innovate in the industry." Zuo Jin, the general director, said that high attention has certain advantages and will also bring certain pressure.As an annual S+ level music variety project, iQiyi wants to stick to the rap variety, so it must break through the repetitiveness of the N-generation. Conversely, the production team will also put the rap variety in the position of S+ to expand more possibilities in the track.

Because the rapper on the market is indeed in a saturated state. The lack of newcomers is in urgent need of a cycle pause to make the development of rap variety more healthy.Iqiyi’s rap variety has been selected, cultivated and summarized, and what kind of formal framework will it break through next year is also a question that the team of China Rap Summit is thinking about.

Different from the previous tutorial system selection rules, this year’s "China Rap Summit" changed the program intoA Chinese rap Rapper’s competition program allows the audience to see more diverse rap music in Chinese music and a very real reality show..

After the third program was launched, some netizens commented: In the first round of 1v1, Ai Ge lost to Brother Dog by a big score. The answer I gave at that time was-"There are always moments when the touch that affects your decision is a moment. When that moment is in place, your decision is completed, and Brother Dog gave me such a touch."

At the beginning of the year, Mango TV and TVB jointly created "Sound Without Stop", although the popularity on the Internet was not as good as expected, it opened up a new idea for sound synthesis production.

All major platforms have tried the sound synthesis of band type, band type, musical type and original communication type. Nowadays, the audience’s view of the sound synthesizer is no longer limited to just singing itself. Zuo Jin, the general director, said that she also likes the program "The Sound is Endless" very much. The sound is endless, which is the cut of Chinese and Hong Kong music and brings a great surprise to the industry.

"Sound Without Stop" divides the sound synthesis field into more sub-tracks, which has also become the direction of joint efforts of all sound synthesizers.

Specific to rap variety,This season’s "China Rap Summit" has also begun to explore many sub-sectors such as national style rap, electronic rap, band rap, etc., and rapper’ rap stage has also integrated these styles.

After the first program was broadcast, Liu Cong’s new song "Breeze Tune" quickly made the QQ music soaring list and the fast-shaking list, and Wang Yitai’s "Pride" directly put the band on the rap stage, with a barrage as if it came to "Summer of the Band". In the third program, Don’t be afraid of getting old, which was jointly performed by Wang Yitai and Ai Ge, soared to the top three in the Netease cloud music hot search list, the top two in the new song list and the hottest video on the stage.

In addition, although "China Rap Summit" also encountered some practical difficulties in the recording process. The original plan of the program was to start recording in March 2022. However, due to the epidemic prevention and control policies in various places, the program production team had to stay in Shanghai.

It also took some time to determine the list of 24 rapper before recording. Zuo Jin, the general director, said that she was very anxious every day after April. Because the program could not be recorded for a long time, the idea of broadcasting in the early summer file in May came to an end. Even if we don’t record it, the whole project may go bankrupt.

Until the beginning of May, the production team finally finalized the final recording location, time and the list of participating rapper. The production team, including some artists, took 16 hours to drive from Shanghai to Shandong Film and Television Base, recorded the first issue in early June, and successfully broadcast the content of the pilot film on June 25th.

"But when the program officially started recording, I immediately felt that all the efforts made this year were worthwhile." General director Zuo Jin said.

"From 0 to 6":How can rap variety continue?

　

At the beginning of the pilot film "China Rap Summit", firstly, a short film with animation and explanation was used to carefully introduce the development history of China rap culture to the audience.

In the short film, there are not only several rap variety shows made by iQiyi, but also two rap programs produced by Mango TV and bilibili, Rap Listen to Me and Rap New Generation. The fans in Harbin circle have a high recognition of this short film. Although the China rap variety show has been going on for the sixth year, it was not until this short film came out that China rap was really combed from beginning to end under the camera.

As a rap variety with the title of "Comprehensive N Generation" and the first rap variety that set off Chinese rap in China, China Rap Summit always seems to have a sense of mission."China Rap Summit" wants to bring rapper who are in the peak stage together and build another peak.

"China Rap Summit" should not only be a rap variety, but also make Chinese rap have a higher position in the Chinese music scene.

In the second issue of "China Summit", the rapper played the last match on the 1v1 stage, and they sang a kung fu song "Generation", which made the audience under the stage red-eyed. The lyrics say, "Some have become history, some have become corners, some have become stars, and some have followed suit. This is our generation, when we leave and bury all the albums together. "

General director Zuo Jin said, "In recent years, it can be clearly felt that rap culture has driven consumption.In recent years, many club in Shanghai have started to do rap themes. When you go to the club on weekends, you can see all the young people who like to rap. In the past, these places did more electronic music. "There are many rapper, which will set the performance venue of live house in club around the country, which indirectly drives consumption.

Rap may still be a minority, unpopular and "dirty" music in the eyes of some people. But actually,Through the constantly changing and innovative rap variety in the past six years, rap culture is driving and changing the musical taste of a group of young people.

A major mission of China Rap Summit is to gather the top rappers in China and provide a platform for them to make songs and stage, so that rap lovers and pan-music audiences in the market can see that there have always been a group of serious rappers in the Chinese music scene. I hope everyone can recognize their original ability.

Let the public still have expectations for the rap culture, which is the key to the sustainable development of China Rap Summit.

Rap variety from the first year of sudden emergence, to the middle four years of decreasing popularity, and then to seek a breakthrough in the sixth year. The existing problems are not only that the old rapper and the new rapper are not connected, it is difficult for rap to break through the inherent circle and turn the heat into national popularity, but also that the audience is tired of the stage competitive variety.

These problems also need to be faced and solved by China Rap New Peak, and the market is still waiting for it to "stir up" the summer file.

　　It is a better choice for Chongqing people to get together with relatives and friends and eat hot pot. But when eating hot pot, have you ever considered putting meat dishes first or vegetarian dishes first, which is healthier for your health?

　　How to eat hot pot is healthier for human body. Let’s see what citizens, hot pot restaurant owners and nutrition experts say.

　　The popular online article said that you should rinse vegetarian dishes first.

　　Recently, an article by China, a popular science scientist, talked about whether to rinse meat or vegetables first when eating hot pot. The answer given in the article turned out to be: rinse vegetarian dishes first, and potatoes and sweet potatoes are the best ones to be cooked first.

　　The article explains that because potatoes and so on contain a lot of starch, eating starchy things before cooking can form mucous membranes in the stomach and intestines, which plays a role in protecting the stomach and intestines. Moreover, potatoes and sweet potatoes contain a lot of dietary fiber. Putting a little potato and sweet potato in your stomach can absorb less fat and cholesterol. At the same time, eating starchy food first can increase satiety, and then you can eat less meat, lose weight and save money, killing two birds with one stone. In addition, rinsing vegetarian dishes first can cleverly avoid too much purine in hot pot, which is healthier for human body.

　　Jiucheng Chongqing Renxian Shuan Huncai

　　Yesterday, the reporter interviewed 30 Chongqing citizens, 27 of whom said that when eating hot pot, they would rinse the meat first. In addition, one person said that while waiting for the meat to be cooked, he would burn some vegetarian dishes in the clear soup of the Yuanyang pot, one person said that he would eat the vegetarian dishes in the clear soup first when he lost weight, and another person said that the vegetarian dishes cooked for a long time would be put into the pot together with the meat dishes, which one would be cooked first.

　　Ms. Tang, 27, said that when she ate hot pot, she would think of eating vegetarian dishes only after eating almost all the meat, and most people in Chongqing ate all red soup, so she could not talk about health preservation.

　　Ms. Fan, who lives near Jiaochangkou, said that as a foodie, she eats hot pot with meat, so she eats meat first and then vegetarian food. Moreover, vegetarian dishes are just for wrapping up greasy food, otherwise eating vegetarian dishes first will feel like eating a hot pot for nothing.

　　"It must be to eat meat dishes first. If you treat a guest with vegetarian dishes first, it will make the guests feel very stingy, so it will be embarrassing." Mr. Yang, a 30-year-old, said that the order in which he eats hot pot leeks is to pour the leeks into the pot first, and the vegetarian dishes are put at the end. "Many times the vegetarian dishes ordered are put in the last pot, but they can’t eat any more."

　　The owner of the hot pot restaurant also said that meat should come first.

　　The reporter learned that not only Chongqing people eat hot pot dishes in the order of meat first, but also many hot pot restaurants serve food in the order of meat first. Mr. Wu, the owner of a well-known old hot pot restaurant in Chongqing, said that from the perspective of health care, he agreed to rinse vegetarian dishes first, but the consumption habits of guests are to eat vegetarian dishes first, so every store of his is to serve vegetarian dishes first. As far as the sales volume in the store is concerned, the sales volume of meat dishes is more than double that of vegetarian dishes.

　　Mr. Feng, the person in charge of another old hot pot restaurant, thinks that eating hot pot with starchy vegetarian dishes such as potatoes and lotus root slices is easy to muddy the soup, which will affect the taste of the dishes cooked later. In addition, the hot pot in Chongqing is spicy, and most vegetarian dishes are more spicy. If you rinse the vegetarian dishes first, it may hurt your stomach. If you eat a mandarin duck pot, you can also eat the vegetarian dishes in the clear soup first, and then eat the meat dishes in the red soup.

　　Feng Long, a national judge of China hot pot industry, thinks that the order of eating hot pot should be enhanced first. That is to say, first put the ingredients that can increase freshness, such as bean sprouts, mushrooms, coriander, etc., and then rinse the meat dishes, and put the vegetarian dishes at the end. Because from a health point of view, some vegetarian dishes contain oxalic acid, so it is better to put them in the back for scalding.

　　expert

　　It is best to scald vegetarian dishes first for health preservation.

　　So from the perspective of health, should we rinse the meat dishes first or the vegetarian dishes first when eating hot pot? Li Liu, director of the Clinical Nutrition Department of Chongqing People’s Hospital (the Third Hospital), believes that when eating hot pot, eat some vegetarian dishes such as potatoes first, and then eat some rice, so that after eating more dietary fiber, you can increase your satiety, eat less meat and absorb less fat and cholesterol.

　　At the same time, she also said that hot pot contains a lot of purine, and meat dishes are generally more than twice as much as vegetarian dishes, and the purine content of vegetarian dishes alone will be much lower. Purine is water-soluble and more soluble in water at high temperature, so people with high uric acid should try to eat less hot pot, and even if they eat it, they should eat vegetarian dishes first.

　　In view of the problem of oxalic acid in vegetarian dishes, Li Liu said that this view is also reasonable, but vegetarian dishes with more oxalic acid are mainly leafy vegetables, which can really be scalded at the back. The vegetable dishes that are first scalded are suggested to be mainly melons and fruits, such as melon and pumpkin.

　　Finally, the order of hot pot rinsing given by Li Liu is: rinse melon and fruit vegetables first, then meat vegetables, and finally eat leafy vegetables. (Chongqing Evening News-Upstream Journalist Zhang Chunlian)

1905 movie network news The sci-fi love movie, which was written and directed by, starring, starring, and Yan Nan, especially starring Chen Chuang, Zhao Tianai, Zhao Ziqi, Yang Jiulang and Qian Cheng, was successfully completed and the first concept poster and stills were exposed. It is reported that the film has entered the post-production stage and will meet the audience as soon as possible.

In the concept posters and stills of this exposure, the retro and sci-fi atmosphere is full of stories. The poster takes the retro pixel style as the creative theme, and integrates the present thinking of reality with the imagination of the future. The touch between retro and future, the interaction between reality and virtual, the loneliness of individuals and the alienation between groups are faintly revealed in the concept poster, which arouses the audience’s infinite reverie. Faced with a world full of unknowns, how will they start this adventure of recognizing the truth of the world? Can’t help but make people curious about this sci-fi love movie with different styles and want to find out.

Retro pixel wind concept poster eye-catching

Wang Yuan Wen Qi Deduces True Love in Virtual Reality

After the first stills of the Valentine’s Day movie, Roy and Vicky Chen stood side by side at the intersection under the neon lights of night arrival, and the relationship between them has begun to take shape. The film tells the story of the maverick Azhi (Roy) who thinks that he is living in virtual reality and that he is the only real person in the program. He has been looking for evidence that "this world is a virtual world" and trying to find a way to the "real" world, until he meets the eccentric Xiaoyi (Vicky Chen). He believes that she is another real person in the world, so he even gave up the idea of seeking the truth. From meeting two strangers to knowing each other, the originally illusory and empty life is so real and romantic at this time. Can this relationship convince Ah Zhi to stay? Or, is Xiaoyi willing to follow him to leave? And what is the outside world like? The fascinating story is expected.

Recently, it coincides with "white day", and then the film released the first concept poster. "Pixel" is the most basic unit of an image. All the detailed elements in the poster appear in the form of pixel squares with a distinct outline, which seems to symbolize that all the pictures we see in front of us are drawn by "pixels", or to imply that the real world we are in is also composed of "pixels", and the future science fiction is full of meaning. The deep LCD dot matrix screen is like a black night sky that wraps them. The image of the girl "mosaic" is like a mysterious void behind the teenager. Is she an enemy or a friend? The teenager dressed in red and white clothes is located in the center of the picture, which seems to bring light and hope to the closed dark space. When truth and illusion, love and true feelings are uploaded into the "cloud" together, the words "You are not here" mapped on both sides of the characters gradually become clear, creating a romantic "different-dimensional" space that is particularly rooted in reality and detached from life for the film, which is particularly eye-catching … …

Script creation has been favored by both inside and outside the industry.

Powerful actors are expected to join in

It is worth mentioning that the film’s cast not only attracted a generation of young actors from Roy and Vicky Chen, but also a group of powerful actors who were recognized by the audience for their superb acting skills, such as Zhang Songwen and Chen Chuang. The behind-the-scenes creations of the film are also star-studded. Photography director Lu Yifan, production designer Xu Guiting, action director An Bo, editing director Wenbers Li Tung-Chuen, sound director Jiang Jianqiang, special effects director Tang Guofeng and modeling director Liang Jianger have participated in the shooting and other excellent films. Not only that, this film won the fourth Pingyao International Film Festival Venture Capital Award: "Mo Mo Qing Yun Script Award" and the 33rd Golden Rooster Film Venture Capital Conference "Light of Art" during the script creation period, which attracted much attention from both inside and outside the industry. The recognition of authority and the scarcity of themes also made the film more topical and discussed. I believe this film will bring special surprises to Chinese film circles and audiences.

The stills released at the same time further show the relationship between the two protagonists. Azhi’s beard, played by Roy, has not been shaved for a long time. Before sitting on the case with a magnifying glass in his hand, he looks up at the wall thoughtfully and seems to be looking for something; The little one, played by Vicky Chen, hugs the pet and suddenly looks back at the toolbar full of walls. In the same box of the two, Xiaoyi smiles at Ah Zhi in bright clothes, while Ah Zhi bows his head and looks dignified and preoccupied. Where is he? And where is she? Is everything in front of him a reality that has already happened or is it just a fantasy in his mind? Is Primary One an NPC in a virtual game or a perfect couples in real life? In the face of the unknown world, there are more truths to be proved and more questions to be answered … …

The movie "I see two identical clouds" was finished at the end of February, and now it has entered the post-production stage, so please look forward to it!

Guangzhou Water Investment Group Drainage Company polishes the background color of ecological water control in megacities, improves the tough and safe drainage guarantee system … A high temperature, a typhoon and a rainstorm pushed the city’s anti-risk ability to the examination room, and "tough city" became a hot word with high frequency. The concept of "resilient city" is mentioned for the first time in the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the long-term goal outline for 2035, which is a necessary option for urban development in the new era and also points out the direction for urban water environment management and flood control and drainage. In the construction of Guangzhou’s resilient city, there is a vibrant new force-Guangzhou Urban Drainage Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangzhou Drainage Company") established by Guangzhou Water Investment Group Co., Ltd. Since its formal establishment in May 2018, Guangzhou Drainage Company has thoroughly practiced the concept of "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" and the people-centered development thought, and made great efforts to create a new highland for water industry reform in the new era, focusing on the daily operation, maintenance and repair of public drainage facilities in the central city of Guangzhou, and flood prevention and rescue services in municipal trunk roads and important areas and drainage guarantee services for major events; We will further promote the quality improvement and efficiency improvement of sewage system, promote the water environment to achieve "long-term cleaning", create a healthy urban drainage guarantee system, and provide a strong boost for the construction of resilient cities! The first-line operation and maintenance personnel of drainage used drones to patrol the river for 300,000 kilometers in Guangzhou Water Investment Group Drainage Company, taking the lead in exploring and innovating the management mode of "compartmentalization+gridding" of urban drainage network, effectively managing and maintaining the drainage network for more than 16,000 kilometers, and accumulating the drainage network for more than 60,000 kilometers.The inspection pipe network is over 300,000 kilometers. More than 110,000 people have innovated the "point-line-surface" three-level emergency rescue and deployment system to prevent waterlogging, and set up 121 professional emergency rescue teams with a total pumping capacity of 70,000 cubic meters per hour. Since its establishment, the cumulative emergency response has exceeded 350 times, and more than 110,000 rescue personnel have been dispatched. The intelligent drainage comprehensive management platform is the first in the province to build a smart drainage comprehensive management platform consisting of a drainage facility management operation platform and a "management and maintenance" APP, which has been promoted and applied by the industry authorities throughout the city. Leading by Party Construction: The so-called "resilient city" refers to a city or urban system that can resolve and resist external disasters or shocks, keep its basic functions, structure and characteristics unaffected, and then recover quickly. For a resilient city, there is an image metaphor, which is to make the city like a spring, able to calmly cope with external pressure and quickly recover to its original state. Managing urban water affairs with the concept of resilience, creating a healthier and more reliable urban water environment system, and letting citizens enjoy a happy life with clear rivers and green shores are the important contents of building a "resilient city". Since its establishment, Guangzhou Drainage Company has always adhered to the concept of "people first", deeply practiced the concept of "water is good and red" led by the party building, anchored the functional orientation of serving the overall situation, serving the city, serving the industry and serving the people’s livelihood, built a grassroots "fighting fortress" and forged a pioneer of "drainage guards".In the major exams such as the reform of urban drainage system and mechanism, the solution of water security problems in water environment management, the prevention and control of epidemic situation in COVID-19, and the emergency support for flood fighting and emergency rescue, we have explored and created a "Guangzhou sample" for underground drainage management in megacities, built a more resilient urban drainage security system, and fully played its role as a basic public service platform for the government. As the main force of flood control and emergency rescue in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Drainage Company has effectively dealt with the urban waterlogging caused by extreme weather such as super typhoon Mangosteen and historic dragon boat water with the spirit of "coming at once, fighting and winning" and the state-owned enterprise of "not stressing conditions and difficulties". Many times, he was ordered to successfully complete the task of supporting flood fighting and emergency rescue in Jiangxi, Zhuhai, Shaoguan, Zhanjiang and other provinces and regions. In recent years, a total of more than 110,000 people fought in the front line of drainage security. There was no secondary pollution infection caused by drainage overflow in the sixth district of Guangzhou Center. The drainage gates of thousands of households were guarded with practical actions, which made important contributions to ensuring people’s lives and property and the safety and stability of urban drainage. In 2020, it won the title of "the most beautiful emergency collective" in Guangdong Province, and it is the only state-owned enterprise among the top ten award-winning collectives in Guangdong Province. Guangzhou new drainage case won the top ten cases (national level) of "Protecting Ecological Civilization" in the Blue Book of Social Value of State-owned Enterprises in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The North District Operation Branch of Guangzhou Drainage Company won the title of "Guangzhou Advanced Grass-roots Party Organization" in 2021, making party flag fly high in the front line of water control.Smart Drainage: Building a more resilient urban drainage security system To make the water environment more resilient, we need a reasonable and efficient urban drainage system first. In terms of system and mechanism, Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government approved the establishment of Guangzhou Drainage Company, which changed the multi-head management mode of "city and district level+rain and sewage separation" of drainage facilities in the central city, set up a vascular team of public drainage facilities with comprehensive coverage, clear responsibilities, advanced technology, fine management and modern industry, and effectively realized the "integrated" management of urban public drainage facilities. Guangzhou Drainage Company efficiently managed and maintained more than 16,000 kilometers of drainage pipe network, creatively put forward the management mode of "compartmentalization+gridding" of urban drainage pipe network, divided 13 sewage systems in the central city of Guangzhou into 43 districts, implemented the system of length responsibility, and set up 77 assessment points, focusing on the assessment of operational indicators such as sewage concentration and full pipe rate of drainage pipe network, forming a range of "horizontal to edge, vertical to the end" and "full coverage from source to end+traceability" Innovate the "point-line-surface" three-level emergency rescue and deployment system to prevent waterlogging, improve the forecast plan system, early warning system and emergency command system, clarify the organization and command structure, response start conditions, emergency rescue process, waterlogging-prone risk location, on-site disposal measures, etc., improve the refined and standardized level of emergency rescue work to prevent waterlogging, and firmly hold the urban drainage safety defense line for millions of citizens.Hardware upgrade of emergency support equipment for preventing waterlogging in drainage company of Guangzhou Water Investment Group: Put on "hard core armor" for urban drainage. Combined with the current actual work situation, Guangzhou Drainage has built a distributed emergency command center for disaster preparedness to ensure the efficient operation of emergency rescue mechanism. Set up 121 professional emergency rescue teams, with a scale of over 2,600 people, and pre-set 61 important areas and 195 main roads in the central city before the rain, so as to deploy and upgrade the defense in advance. For example, on June 14 -17, 2022, Guangzhou was hit by the triple superposition of "astronomical tide", "dragon boat water" and "extremely heavy rainfall". All the 121 teams were deployed at 7: 00 a.m. every day, and personnel were arranged to patrol at key points along the river for 24 hours. Once waterlogging and river water backflow occurred, emergency rescue was immediately carried out. In recent years, Guangzhou Drainage has made every effort to cultivate and build a knowledge-based, skilled and compound modern industrial workforce. The company has been successfully included in the second batch of pilot units for the identification of professional skill levels of large enterprises with industry representation in Guangdong Province, and truly realized that professional people do professional things. The staff used the cleaning and sewage suction integrated vehicle to optimize the layout of rescue bases, and built 12 comprehensive drainage and waterlogging rescue bases with technical equipment, emergency duty, material reserve, logistics support and other functions, covering an area of 100,000 square meters, effectively shortening the radius of rescue operations in the central city. Among them, Huadi Henan Gate Base, as a demonstration emergency rescue base, was identified as "Guangzhou Western Base for Emergency Rescue Training".It is one of the four major professional bases in Guangzhou. At the same time equipped with advanced equipment at home and abroad. It is equipped with more than 600 sets of advanced drainage equipment at home and abroad, such as large-displacement drainage vehicles, "Dragon Water Suction" and hydraulic power stations, which are suitable for all kinds of waterlogging rescue scenes in cities, and the total pumping capacity has increased to 70,000 cubic meters per hour. Compared with before the establishment of the company, the pumping capacity of the central city has increased by more than 2 times. Drainage emergency support capacity ranks in the forefront of the country. "Software" Innovation: Equipping "Smart Brain" for Urban Drainage Aiming at the problems of unclear ownership of drainage pipelines and lack of dynamic information in megacities, Guangzhou Drainage Company, driven by information innovation, carried out "software" innovation and built a smart drainage system. It is the first in the province to build a smart comprehensive drainage management platform with geographic information system, perception monitoring network, Internet of Things, mobile Internet and other information technologies as the core, which is composed of drainage facilities management operation platform and "Guanyangtong" App. This system realizes "one map" visual management of drainage facilities, "one network" online monitoring and early warning analysis of water level and flow in the whole process of drainage, real-time updating and dynamic management of pipeline data, and multi-terminal sharing of mobile inspection and maintenance information, which really puts a "smart brain" on modern drainage management and creates a new era of drainage information management. In addition, relying on the flood control emergency dispatching platform established by the system, the whole process can be visualized online, and the latest situation of the team can be grasped in real time, and the field situation can be viewed at any time, and the deployment strength and path can be optimized in time to realize the integration of information collection, command, dispatching and decision-making, and promote urban flood control.The goal of "quick response, scientific scheduling and accurate disposal" was realized. At the same time, Guangzhou Drainage takes "opening the last mile" as the key point of scientific and technological innovation, continuously strengthens the strength of independent research and development, carries out technical research, develops, produces and puts into use a large number of small and medium-sized dredging equipment, fills the gap in mechanized dredging operations of inner streets and lanes in old urban areas and villages in cities in Guangzhou, and greatly improves the efficiency of urban drainage in Guangzhou. The first non-stop dredging robot in China, which belongs to the international leading level, won the special prize of Science and Technology Award of Guangdong Municipal Industry Association in 2022. In the past three years, it has obtained 39 national patents and participated in the preparation of 4 industry standards and specifications; Won 9 provincial and municipal awards. Thanks to the blessing of "soft and hard" strength, Guangzhou Drainage Company has handed over a beautiful report card on urban waterlogging prevention and control: "One Point One Policy" has compiled a special countermeasure report on the depth of waterlogging risk points in key areas of the six central districts, effectively dealing with urban waterlogging caused by extreme weather such as super typhoon "Mangosteen" and historic "Dragon Boat Water"; Completed drainage emergency support for large-scale activities such as Canton Fair and senior high school entrance examination over the years for about 60 times; The cumulative emergency response exceeded 350 times and the number of emergency personnel dispatched exceeded 110,000. In recent years, through the drainage pipe network management and emergency system construction, the urban drainage capacity and disaster preparedness capacity have been significantly improved, and the resilience of preventing waterlogging in the central city has been significantly enhanced. Under the conditions of non-extreme rainstorm, flood and tidal disasters, the central city of Guangzhou can run normally and the lives of citizens will not be affected. The citizens responded to the flood appeal in time.Guangzhou drainage ranks among 40 public service enterprises in the city’s 12345 hotline, leading the city for three consecutive years. A total of more than 100 thank-you letters, banners and plaques at all levels in the province and city were received. Ecological water control: the "wide array of samples" has achieved results. The "black and odorous river" has changed into the people’s "Happy River". With a healthy urban drainage guarantee system, the "toughness" of the water environment system has also been continuously enhanced, and the treatment of black and odorous water bodies has achieved remarkable results. The water quality assessment of Yagang national examination section in Baiyun District is a "hard bone" in the treatment of black and odorous water bodies in Guangdong Province. Faced with the huge challenge of tight time, heavy pressure and complicated situation, Guangzhou Drainage Company worked hard day and night, racing against time, and completely completed the repair of 2726 functional defects and 902 structural repairs of the pipe network in Heichouhe River Basin. Since 2019, the Yagang section has gone from inferior grade V water in 2018 to stable grade IV water at present, and the water quality has improved by two categories. Guangzhou Drainage Company also helped Shijing Estuary Provincial Examination Section to successfully eliminate the inferior V class for the first time, and Chebeiyong and Shuanggangyong were selected as typical cases of water control in China, which made an important contribution to Guangzhou’s selection as "National Demonstration City for Black and Odor Water Treatment". "Check the external water" and "squeeze the external water" to improve the quality and efficiency of the sewage treatment system. In order to fully promote the efficiency of urban water pollution control, Guangzhou Drainage Company adheres to the idea of systematic water control, focusing on the full collection and treatment of sewage, and continues to carry out the quality and efficiency improvement of the sewage treatment system.,Organize forces to check the external water such as river water, construction site water, mountains and rivers, groundwater, etc., and make targeted rectification plans such as cleaning up sewage and diverting water, and repairing diseases. Customized the work plan of "one plant, one policy" to improve quality and efficiency of 13 sewage treatment plants in the central city, including Liede Sewage Treatment Plant. Through the joint control and adjustment of "plant-network-river", the influent concentration of sewage treatment plants in the central city reached the assessment standard, greatly improving the efficiency of urban sewage collection and treatment. Among them, the experience of Guangzhou Liede and Xilang systems in improving quality and efficiency has been designated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development as one of the typical cases of improving quality and efficiency of water environment in China, which has been promoted and demonstrated throughout the country. The company participated in the "Guidelines for Improving the Quality and Efficiency of Urban Domestic Sewage Treatment in Guangdong Province" and won the first prize of the Science and Technology Award of Guangdong Municipal Industry Association. Modern drainage industry workers use pipeline endoscope equipment to check the pipe network. "Black odor is in the water, the root is on the shore, the key is the outlet, and the core is the pipe network." Guangzhou Drainage Company has explored and practiced the integrated management of urban drainage effectively, and the "extensive drainage sample" of underground drainage management in megacities has achieved results. The cumulative drainage network has exceeded 60,000 kilometers, and the inspection network has exceeded 300,000 kilometers. The operation efficiency of the drainage network in the central six districts of Guangzhou has been continuously improved, basically eliminating the phenomenon of sewage overflow on sunny days. In recent years, the quality of water environment in Guangzhou has been improving continuously. On the basis that in 2020, 13 national and provincial examination sections of the city reached the standard in an all-round way, and 147 black and odorous water bodies were completely eliminated and reached the standard of "long-term control and long-term clean-up", in 2022, 20 national and provincial examination sections reached the standard in stages, and the black and odorous rivers in the past "changed".It has become a beautiful Happy River and Lake, and citizens have more high-quality living space near the water. Sail hard and persevere. In the new journey, building a resilient city is an inevitable requirement to follow the objective laws of urban development. The 14th Five-Year Plan for Ecological Civilization Construction in Guangzhou, issued and implemented in September 2022, proposes to adhere to the concept of safe development, consolidate the flood control and drainage engineering system, promote the construction of a sponge city, improve emergency shelter and public fire-fighting facilities, improve comprehensive disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities, and promote the construction of a safe and resilient city. Guangzhou Water Investment and Drainage Company will continue to uphold the working purpose of putting people first and life first, and take the value mission of "protecting water for the people, consolidating the foundation for the party and adding luster to Guangzhou" as its mission, and bravely shoulder heavy burdens in water environment management, water safety guarantee and emergency rescue modernization; Do not disgrace your mission in the construction of ecological civilization; Contribute to the strength of "Guangzhou Drainage" in building a resilient city, and comprehensively help Guangzhou to accelerate the realization of new vitality and "four new achievements" in the old city.

Public relations crisis, every time I mention this word, I think all my colleagues engaged in public relations work will have a tight heart, "Don’t come!" However, the public relations crisis can’t be as we wish. If we don’t come, we won’t come.

So instead of obsessing about whether the crisis will happen, it is better to pay attention to when it will happen.

Public relations crisis management has a set of general rules, which will be introduced in detail below.

According to the development stage, we generally divide the crisis management of public relations into three stages:

1. Pre-crisis management

2. Management in crisis

3. Post-crisis management

According to different stages, we should take different actions, such as pre-crisis prevention, active response in crisis, and post-crisis resumption to sum up experience.

The following is elaborated from several aspects:

Public relations crisis management refers to the management of public crisis events (major events that threaten the organization and its reputation, stakeholders or the public) by governments and enterprises, and solve the problems in dangerous and difficult situations in foreign exchanges and internal management. That is, in the process of the emergence and development of public crisis events, in order to reduce and eliminate the harm of the crisis, the business entity directly takes countermeasures and management activities against the crisis according to the crisis management plan and procedures.

Public relations professionals play a vital role in crisis communication. When a crisis occurs, the main task of public relations personnel is to inform the relevant parties of the current situation, potential risks and public relations plans and implementation plans. A well-prepared crisis public relations plan should include the general public relations draft for the first external response after the crisis.

This general public relations draft should establish initial public trust and gain some time to investigate the problems currently facing. Public relations and marketing teams are the first line of defense. Whether we can survive the crisis safely depends mainly on the ability of enterprises to deal with public relations crisis management.

Part　2：When should we respond to the public relations crisis?

In the face of public relations crisis, public relations personnel need to know when to respond and how to solve the crisis.

It should be noted that not all negative comments can form a public relations crisis and damage the brand reputation. Usually, the real trouble will appear in the spread of business news, such as that published by People magazine.Takeaway rider, trapped in the system (complete analysis report →), detonated social sentiment, take-away enterprises encountered a major public relations crisis.

The social sentiment of the "takeaway rider, trapped in the system" event is mainly negative, accounting for 45.5%. The main content of negative sentiment is that netizens express their spit and dissatisfaction with the public relations response to "Hungry" and question the algorithm of the platform system.

Professional PR will evaluate and classify the severity of the crisis according to the degree of influence on the enterprise or brand. Assessing the crisis level in advance can help PR manage the crisis better and avoid wasting resources.

Hyposensitivity crisis

Refers to a situation that does not require any immediate action by public relations personnel, such as a competitor encountering a public relations crisis, but it may not necessarily affect its normal operation.

However, in the same industry, competing products may also affect their own business in some way.

After the flight attendant’s murder case (complete analysis report →), a network car company canceled the hitchhiking business, and at the same time, it also triggered the question "Should the hitchhiking business be cancelled?" And other social discussions about the norms and future development of the network car. Therefore, it is necessary to pay close attention to the crisis development of competing products and dispatch crisis response teams when necessary.

General crisis

Refers to the situation that may undermine consumers’ trust in the enterprise or brand and affect the sales of the enterprise. For example, among hundreds of positive comments, several negative comments are mixed. Then, public relations personnel should pay attention, but there is no need to convene a public relations crisis team.

In 2020, Ali promoted "rhinoceros intelligent factory" (complete analysis report →), and the positive emotional expression on the Internet was as high as 85%. However, some people worry that the arrival of rhinoceros factory will bring some threats to some production enterprises with low efficiency, high cost and small scale. The origin of rhinoceros from a big factory, the accessibility of grounding gas, and the intelligent mode naturally have an unusual attraction for businesses in the market, and their choice of rhinoceros will also reduce the living space of other small and medium-sized factories.

Major crisis

Refers to the situation that the crisis will have a significant impact on the reputation and income of the enterprise, and the public relations response team must act immediately.

Major crisis types include executive scandals (sexual harassment, infighting, PUA in the workplace, etc.), product quality problems (such as the use of expired raw materials in catering industry), punishment by regulatory authorities, financial crisis, etc. If you want to solve this kind of public relations crisis quickly, it is best to take action before the public and the media find it and spread it widely.

Because of the popularity of the Internet, the information spreads quickly and widely, and the crisis may escalate rapidly, and evolve from a low-sensitivity crisis to a general crisis or even a major crisis within a few hours. Therefore, public relations personnel must continuously monitor the changes of crisis situation.

Ali female employees were violated (complete analysis report →), and the public opinion broke out quickly, with a long tail of public opinion. Judging from the characteristics of fermentation, in the early stage of public opinion development, information such as "safeguarding the rights of female employees in Ali’s canteen" and "female employees in Ali were exposed and infringed" only spread in Ali’s workplace circle, and the spread range was relatively narrow. After the parties posted on the intranet, the relevant information was reprinted by some netizens to platforms such as pulse and social media, and gradually spread to the public’s field of vision. With the help of social media and major media, public opinion warmed up in an all-round way and entered an outbreak period. During this period, the response of all parties and the conflict of the details of the incident led to the collective boiling of the public opinion field, and the pressure of public opinion faced by Ali, Hualian and other involved subjects increased greatly. On August 9, with the announcement of the preliminary disposal measures of Ali and Hualian, the public’s public opinion began to decline, and the public’s attention began to shift to other details. "Hotel management loopholes" and "people involved in a trend" became important clues for public opinion follow-up discussion.

Part　3：howMake a crisis public relations plan? (Pre-crisis management)

Public relations crisis may occur at any time, so enterprises should formulate a set of crisis public relations plans to ensure that employees know what to do to minimize losses.

Matters that must be considered when making a crisis public relations plan;

monitorbrandpopular feelings

According to China Internet Development Report (2021), by the end of 2020, there were 989 million netizens in China, and the Internet penetration rate reached 70.4%. The total number of mobile Internet users exceeds 1.6 billion. There is no doubt that we are in the network age.

According to Digital 2021: China, there are 931 million social media users in China. Social media allows everyone to express their opinions or comments. This means that the crisis will occur in channels that enterprises do not own and control. The public relations team may not have noticed the crisis, and the crisis has already started to ferment and upgrade on this channel and affected the reputation and sales of the company.

In order to prevent the public relations crisis from escalating, it is necessary to know people’s evaluation of the company or product.

According to CNNIC’s Report on the Latest Number of Websites in China in 2021, as of June 2021, the total number of websites in China was 4.22 million. There are a lot of online channels, and it is obviously very difficult to know all the references about your brand on the Internet.

The simple and direct solution is to use professional Internet public opinion monitoring and analysis tools, such as the micro-business information and public opinion monitoring system, which can collect online public references including predefined keywords. The system also provides screening and analysis. Enterprises can mark, cut and collect according to their own needs, so as to analyze key information.

From the perspective of crisis management, what practical value can Internet public opinion monitoring tools provide?

Emotional analysis and reference quantity

Know the business situation (free trial →)All the mentioned emotional tendencies can be automatically classified, that is, you can directly see whether the discussion on the monitored objects (enterprises, brands, products, marketing activities, etc.) on the Internet is positive, negative or neutral.

Before the analysis, we should combine various data to get more valuable information. For example, emotional analysis should be combined with the amount of mention. The mentioned amount refers to the total number mentioned in the set time range.

The surge in the number of references and the general negative emotions indicate that a public relations crisis is brewing.

L ‘Oré al Double Eleven Pre-sale Price Difference Event (complete analysis report →), after the media reported "L ‘Oré al ampoule mask refund price difference" on November 15th, the negative information began to increase obviously, surpassing the positive information, reaching a peak on the 18th. Before that, it was always positive.

Public relations personnel need to closely monitor the dynamic changes in order to respond before the media and the public find problems. If, on the other hand, the surge is mentioned positively, it means that the enterprise is doing well!

Screening function

The public opinion monitoring data obtained by different enterprises will be quite different. If it comes to monitoring large enterprises or online celebrity products, there is no doubt that a lot of data will be obtained.

These contents may all be related to the monitoring theme, but as the public relations personnel of the enterprise, they may only need to pay attention to some of them. Therefore, it is better for public opinion monitoring tool to have filtering function to extract more useful information. Micro-business information can provide rich screening items such as region, information type, field, platform type, date and mood.

What options are filtered to help crisis management?

crisis forewarning

In order to prevent the spread of public relations crisis, public relations personnel need to find the potential crisis earlier than others, so they need a public opinion monitoring tool that provides real-time warning function for sensitive key information. Micro-business information can be pre-warned by SMS, email, WeChat, in-app notification and other ways, and all mentioned alarms or filtered mentioned alarms can be set.

Maintain crisis sensitivity

Some brands with better products or services may think that they have a good reputation and there is no need to do crisis management. Obviously, this idea is too beautiful, and excellent students can’t guarantee that they won’t answer wrong questions in every exam. Similarly, excellent enterprises don’t mean that they can be immune to crisis.

Therefore, the question we should pay attention to is not whether the public relations crisis will happen, but when it will happen.

If the enterprise makes a crisis response plan in advance, every member of the enterprise will know how to deal with and what to do whenever a crisis occurs.

Crisis response plan can also help new employees to get started quickly during the public relations turmoil, and know how to act and what the company strategy is during the crisis.

Part　4：Deal with public crisisThe seven steps of

The crisis public relations plan is more strategic guidance, and it is also important to know how to do it when the crisis actually happens.

The following summarizes the seven steps based on the experience of senior public relations practitioners:

1. RightcrisisClassify, don’t“every bush and tree seems an enemy—be in a state of extreme panic"

Not all negative comments about the brand will turn into a public relations crisis. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need to respond to negative comments.

Evaluate the impact of these negative comments on the overall performance and reputation of the enterprise before deciding whether to respond and how to respond. Some problems will disappear by themselves, while others need to provide targeted solutions. In terms of reputation management, it is the best choice to follow the trend.

2. Quick response

When there is a major crisis, we should respond. At this time, time is life. The sooner this problem is solved, the more likely it is to control the topic tendency and minimize the damage.

When a major crisis occurs, people expect a quick response. At this time, public relations personnel have no time to carefully write some thoughtful response drafts.

At this time, some general public relations drafts prepared in the crisis public relations plan can come in handy. Public relations personnel can modify the template according to the actual situation, and then publish it through social media and other channels.

The choice of distribution channels must be suitable for the communication channels of most users and other stakeholders, so that it is easier to get dissemination.

A quick response can give people the impression that the situation is under control, and also buy time for a more detailed explanation.

Step 3 determine the firstperson in charge

After the crisis public relations plan is formulated, employees need to be trained and rehearsed accordingly, so that they know what to do and how to implement it.

It is very important to define the relevant people in charge of public relations and their responsibilities, such as who is responsible for the writing of public relations draft, who is responsible for the promotion and distribution of public relations draft, who is responsible for the direction control and final review. If we don’t know who is doing what specific work, the public relations team can’t enter the rescue crisis state at the first time.

Generally speaking, the first response team is the team responsible for customer service or social media.

Customer service personnel are at the forefront of facing customers directly, and they can find public relations problems before reaching a wider audience (such as the media).

The convenience and universality of social media make information dissemination easy to spread in a viral way. If the operators of social media accounts find negative references, they can quickly resolve the crisis through online communication and problem solving, thus protecting corporate reputation.

But if the crisis escalates, a professional and reliable public relations team needs to have

Chief executive officer

People with legal knowledge

The person in charge of communication with the media

The person responsible for communicating with other stakeholders (for example, communicating with shareholders and suppliers)

The person responsible for communicating with customers.

The person responsible for product development and production.

The person responsible for writing the public relations draft.

The team will decide what to send out and how to send it out, so as not to lose the trust of customers as much as possible. The establishment of public relations team will ensure the smooth progress of crisis communication and ensure that the people with corresponding responsibilities do the right thing in the right place at the right time.

4. Assess the crisis situation

Professional PR should evaluate the public relations situation and take corresponding measures. Every public relations crisis is different, so different methods and responses are needed. This is why the first step of the public relations crisis response team should be to evaluate the crisis.

According to the scale of public opinion and the possible impact of public relations crisis, the team should choose appropriate countermeasures, with the ultimate goal of eliminating or minimizing the impact of the crisis.

5.　Crisis public relations execution

A quick and sincere response can buy some time for the enterprise. The next step is the implementation of specific actions.

How to respond and deal with it depends on what kind of industry you are in, but there are also general rules to follow.

First of all, if you want to minimize the losses, you must never deny the problem, shirk the responsibility or ignore the voice of public opinion, which will only worsen the situation. Admitting mistakes and making up for the losses to users can establish a mature and responsible image of the enterprise.

Step 6 Work with influential people

Once a brand, product or service is attacked by public opinion, you should also look for someone who can help you speak out.

Therefore, you should pay attention to finding celebrities and kols who can speak for your brand during and after the crisis.

The key to KOL cooperation is to choose the right person. public opinion monitoring tools can help you find the right KOL to help you deal with the public relations crisis.

Set the monitoring theme with the industry field as the key word, and you can see the most active, influential and popular public accounts in this field in the "Analysis" tab. It should be noted that it only provides a reference list of influential communicators. Next, we also need to check what kind of content these accounts usually publish, their participation (interaction) in the content they publish, and which social media platforms they are active on (social media, Zhihu, WeChat, Xiaohongshu, bilibili …). According to the above analysis, choose the most suitable KOL to voice the brand "platform".

7.Resume of public relations work

Excellent people usually go back to work, review and reflect on past behaviors, then find problems and learn from experience, so as to realize the accumulation of experience and the breakthrough of ability.

Questions about specific crisis public relations events: What did you do right? What parts are unqualified? What can be improved?

Regarding the construction of public relations team: Does the team need more training and guidance? Should the roles in the team be adjusted and re-divided? Do you want to add new members?

Question on public relations execution: Is the response fast enough? Is there any way to improve it? What kind of communication channels should be used? Do you need to change the expression and wording?

By answering these questions, we can get some valuable reference information for establishing a more perfect public relations crisis strategy.

summary：

Public relations crises often occur in expect the unexpected and are easily spread by news media. However, the occurrence of a public relations crisis does not mean that things are irreversible. The key is to know how to react and turn the situation around in this bad situation.

First of all, we should establish a daily brand public opinion monitoring and pay attention to the network information about brands; Then make a public relations crisis plan.

When the public relations crisis occurs, both enterprises and employees will be under great pressure, and employees need to understand the public relations management strategy of the crisis company to avoid "catching the blind" at the last moment.

Crisis is hard to avoid, but you can choose to minimize the loss. This is the ultimate significance of public relations crisis management.

　　Xinhuanet Beijing, July 31 ST Brazilian barbecue is famous all over the world. It is by no means a "hero" not to eat an authentic Brazilian barbecue here.

　　Brazil’s barbecue has a long history, and its birthplace is the southernmost state of Nandahe. This area has a mild climate, abundant rainfall and fertile land, which breeds endless grasslands and pastures. It is a traditional livestock production center in Brazil and is covered with large-scale farms and farms.

　　The vast grassland and high-quality pasture provide unique conditions for the growth of cattle. Driving on the highway in southern Brazil, you can always see the unique cattle in South America, running freely on the open grassland on the roadside with towering shoulders. Brazilian beef is of high quality because it is all naturally stocked. It is precisely because of good enough beef that there can be good enough barbecue.

　　As early as the 18th century, European colonists and gauchos, the mixed-race descendant of Indian aborigines, made a nomadic living on the southern grassland. They often gathered around the campfire, strung large pieces of beef with sharpened wooden sticks, put them on the fire, and ate them with daggers they carried with them after roasting. This cowboy-like processing method was the earliest Brazilian barbecue.

　　After hundreds of years of evolution, Brazilian barbecue has not only been continuously improved, but also retained the essence of tradition. Even in Brazil, not everyone cooks good meat. The southern grassland has always been regarded as the most authentic and original birthplace of Brazilian barbecue, and almost all the chefs in famous barbecue shops come from this area.

　　Compared with domestic kebabs, they like to sprinkle cumin and Chili powder, while European and American barbecues like to brush barbecue sauce, and Turkish barbecues must put pepper and onion. Brazilians can simply describe the barbecue seasoning as "stingy": original flavor, only coarse salt! Some diners described that the essence of Brazilian barbecue is to make people feel the purest and rich meat flavor, and to taste the amorous feelings of biting, tender outside and gravy overflowing.

　　Brazilian barbecue, which overflows from the "bones", on the one hand benefits from fresh and high-quality ingredients, and on the other hand depends on the accurate grasp of the heat. The baking time of different meats is also different. In order to heat all parts evenly, they also need to keep rotating the barbecue on the fire during the baking process, and the interval between turning over and rotating is also very particular. Too long or too short will directly affect the appearance and taste of the meat, which depends entirely on the experience handed down from generation to generation by chefs.

　　Barbecue is a skill, and eating meat is also learning. First of all, the authentic Brazilian barbecue will never be served on the plate like steak. The handsome waiter walks around the table with a sharp knife in one hand and a barbecue fork more than half a meter long in the other. The shiny, fragrant pieces of meat attract people’s forefinger to move. The customer only needs to point to the part he wants to eat with his hand, and the waiter immediately cuts off a large piece and puts it on the plate, making people fully experience the pleasure of eating meat.

　　Many Brazilian barbecue shops can see such graphic cards, marking the names of nine parts of cattle that are most commonly used for barbecue, so that customers can "follow the map". Brazilians believe that different parts of the meat, barbecue temperature is different, the taste is naturally different, some are as solid as ham, while others are as soft as braised meat.

　　Generally speaking, the most delicious and expensive part is the triangular meat, which is located above the hindquarters of cattle. After being smoked, this part of the meat has a crystal clear skin and a tender and juicy inside, which is the favorite of many diners. Secondly, the belly of beef, the upper brain and other parts also won the praise of diners. In particular, it is recommended to be Niujianfeng, which is a classic delicacy unique to Brazilian barbecue. It is fat, tender and delicious, and it melts in the mouth.

　　On the basis of beef as the main ingredient, Brazilian barbecue has more than 30 varieties such as roasted chicken legs, chicken hearts, pork chops, mutton, sausages and cheese. Among them, the fresher is baked fruit, such as applying honey to tender pineapple and baking it sweet and soft. After the banana is baked, the skin is black, the heart is white and the aroma is attractive.

　　Brazilian barbecue is high in calories, and it is easy to get angry if you eat more, so local people also pay attention to collocation when eating barbecue. The staple food may wish to try the black bean rice with the reputation of Brazilian national cuisine. This dish is similar to stew in the northeast, and it takes a lot of time and effort to cook. Add beef jerky, smoked sausage, bacon, pig’s ears, pig’s trotters, pig’s tail, pig’s tongue and other raw materials to Brazil’s specialty black beans, add salt, spices, herbs and cabbage, put them in a clay pot and stew them with slow fire for six or seven hours. After cooking, sprinkle cassava powder and orange slices on the rice and eat them.

　　Besides barbecue and black bean rice, hearts of palm is also a local food worth tasting. Many cafeterias in Rio have hearts of palm, which looks like bamboo shoots, but it is actually an edible palm. Some restaurants have roasted hearts of palm, which is highly recommended.

　　In Rio’s barbecue buffet, "Fogo de Chao" and "Porcao" are very popular. In addition, Copa cabannes Barbecue Restaurant next to Copa cabannes Palace Hotel has always been famous. Walking into this restaurant is like going back to Rio in the 1960s and 1970s. This restaurant not only has authentic barbecue, but also has a lot of seafood in the buffet salad.

　　Enjoy the perfect barbecue dinner, and many Brazilians like to use cold desserts to get rid of greasy food. Might as well call it a Assailly, which is a unique purple berry in Brazil, also called Brazilian berry. It has high nutritional value and is known as an antioxidant holy product, and has the title of "super fruit" in the local area. Brazilians like to mash Assailly’s pulp and make it into smoothies, which are refreshing without losing the taste of ice cream.

　　Finally, if you still have spare capacity in your stomach, you can have another cup of mellow Brazilian coffee, where the life charm of this South American country is leisurely. At this point, you can pat your belly and have an authentic Brazilian barbecue feast, perfect! (Reporter Song Jieyun, Zhao Yan, editor Zhu Chao, reported by Xinhua International Client)

The well-received FX hit series Bear Restaurant tells the story of young chef Carmy (played by actor Jeremy Allen White) returning from a high-end restaurant to Chicago to run the family restaurant "The Beef". The second season continues the story of the first season, but they will face more difficult challenges.

Carmy Berzatto, the hero, is an excellent young chef who once worked in famous high-end restaurants Noma and Eleven Madison Park. At the beginning of the series, he returned to Chicago because of his brother’s death and took over the sandwich restaurant where his brother was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Carmy could have chosen to run this store like hundreds of other ordinary restaurants in the city, or he could have sold this store directly and continued to pursue his dream in the high-end catering industry. However, in the play, we see that he chose the third way to turn this restaurant into a high-class restaurant. This is another theme of the series: dreams, freedom given by Chicago and the third largest city in the United States, allowing people to pursue their dreams in their own way.

Jeremy Allen White (left), the actor who plays Carmy, and Ayo Edebiri, the actor who plays Sydney.

"Bear Restaurant" is one of the few TV series that is really set in Chicago. In addition to the atmosphere created by a large number of empty mirrors in Chicago, it also pays tribute to the city’s culture, from the famous basketball player Scottie Pippen, the actor Bill Murray and the Vienna Beef hot dog restaurant to the directors Harold Ramis, Pequod’s pizza and Margie’s candy. In addition, there are other popular police dramas set in Chicago, such as Chicago First Aid, Chicago Fire and chicago pd …

Like other TV series set in Chicago, this city is chosen as the background mainly because of its rich characteristics and inclusiveness. As a metropolis, Chicago is large enough to accommodate different types of people and stories, and the audience will not expect to see local colors that are too interesting and curious. Compared with new york and LA, Chicago doesn’t leave too many stereotyped cultural impressions in the hearts of Americans. It is just in an optimal balance point, and it doesn’t need too much explanation, and it is willing to become a city of moderation.

To some extent, Chicago is well-known in the United States, known as a low-key and diligent city, known as the "city with huge shoulders." The writer Nelson Algren compared it to a woman with a broken nose-"You may find something better, but you will never find anything so plain". For midwesterners like Carmy, the hero of the play, Chicago is a place where people can’t settle down and go forward bravely. They left their hometown, struggling to pursue their dreams and prove themselves to people in their hometown, but finally chose to return to this place and quietly do humble work in a chaotic restaurant, selling ordinary sandwiches.

In fact, the city of Chicago has at least 20 Michelin-starred restaurants. And the series "Bear Restaurant" really vividly shows Chicago’s catering culture.

The description of Chicago in Bear Restaurant is accurate. It is portrayed as a place that seeks to create great and unique things without necessarily seeking status or praise.

In the second episode of the second season, when Sydney Adamu, the chef of the new restaurant, is discussing the menu with Carmy, she notices that Carmy is wearing an old uniform she brought from new york with his initials embroidered on it. Carmy caught her eye and said, "new york, it’s bad, isn’t it?" Sydney replied, "I wanted to hate it at first, too." However, please don’t get me wrong, I really thought so. But it looks cool. I bet it feels good to wear it. " Carmy admits that this is true, and no one will deny new york’s dominant position in culture. But he went on to talk about the experience of winning a Michelin star, saying that his brain immediately turned to fear when he was happy, and he felt that he had to keep these honors at all costs.

The description of Chicago in Bear Restaurant is accurate. It is portrayed as a place that seeks to create great and unique things without necessarily seeking status or praise. We see that Carmy is slowly transforming into such a chef, and the chefs around him also have such qualities. In the play, when Sydney was preparing for the new restaurant, she visited other restaurants for guidance and found that everyone was helpful. At Avec, a highly regarded restaurant, she got important advice from Donnie Madia, a restaurant operator.

In the play, the catering culture of this city is described as exquisite, warm and full of human feelings. It is constantly suggested in the play that once you give up climbing the ladder, pursue playing the game in your own way, or simply don’t participate, you can pay more attention to your ambitions without facing heavy costs or fierce competition, which is brought by being closer to the "cultural spotlight".

Will Poulter (left) plays Luca and Lionel Boyce plays Marcus.

In another clip in the fourth episode of Bear Restaurant Season 2, Sydney had a video chat with pastry chef Marcus who was honing his skills in Copenhagen. Sydney is reading the book "Leading With the Heart" written by former Duke University basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, which is a gift from her father. She summed up the story in the book, which sounded a little disapproving, but as a former athlete, Marcus understood the meaning: the team needs to explore and study in depth.

I remember once Marcus asked his mentor Luca how he became so excellent, and he said that he also got a lot of valuable advice on pursuing his dreams. Luca told him that after working with a better chef than himself, he suddenly realized that he was not the best chef and would never be the best chef. But he began to see it as a good thing: "I can reduce my pressure." The only logical thing to do is to try to keep up with him. " He said that, to some extent, the pursuit of Excellence is not only the tempering of skills, but also depends on the process of opening up to the world, to oneself and others.

When Hollywood depicts the pursuit of success, it often ignores the ambition of humanitarianism and independence, but The Bear Restaurant successfully shows this.

In Chicago, people can show their uniqueness and foresight through food, which is the real feature of the city; At the same time, although black and Latino cultural and business leaders have not been recognized enough, they have made important and outstanding contributions here; In addition, the fields of drama, music, art and literature are also full of vitality here, and they can flourish regardless of whether they are concerned by the whole country.

The second season poster of Bear Restaurant.

In The Bear Restaurant, even in the tense preparatory stage of the restaurant’s opening, we don’t see Sydney or Marcus showing off or waiting for others to realize their uniqueness. Their sense of accomplishment does not come from the praise of diners, but from the people around them. Marcus named a dish for Carmy’s dead brother in memory of him; Sydney also prepared an omelet for Carmy’s sister Natalie. Obviously, their sense of accomplishment comes from the job itself and the people who work with it. Although sometimes afraid, Carmy has been trying to move towards the same idea.

By the end of this season, Carmy admitted that for him, cooking has always been a focused and daily thing, a way to concentrate on pursuing a goal-this way helped him avoid the trouble of interpersonal relationship and hide his fragile side under his own achievements. Carmy first returned to Chicago because his brother died and he was forced to go back. But his decision to stay was what he wanted. For him, Sydney and Marcus, the most important thing is to work hard for something they want to do, regardless of reputation or status, and only focus on the process itself.

The Bear Restaurant seems to show the typical characteristics of Chicago: tenacity and fragility, high morale but sincerity and selflessness, and invisibly too unique to be easily defined by Americans.
