  The Office of the United States Trade Representative announced that

  On December 26th, local time, the Office of the US Trade Representative announced that it would further extend the 301-clause tariff exemption period for 352 imported goods from China and 77 imported goods from China related to epidemic prevention in COVID-19, from December 31st this year to May 31st, 2024.

  Prior to this, on September 6th, the Office of the US Trade Representative also announced that it would further extend the 301 tariff exemption period for 352 imported goods from China and 77 imported goods from China related to epidemic prevention in COVID-19, and the period would be extended from September 30th to December 31st this year. On September 7th, China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said that as a matter of principle, we have always opposed the fight against tariff war, thinking that there is no winner in tariff war. The unilateral imposition of tariffs by the United States on China violates WTO rules, which is unfavorable to China, the United States and the world.

  According to previous media reports, during Trump’s administration, he invoked Section 301 (commonly known as Section 301 of the US Trade Act of 1974) in the name of "national security" to impose tariffs on China’s imported goods. During the Trump administration, there were more than 2,200 goods exempted from tariffs, of which 549 products were extended for one year, but all exemptions expired at the end of 2020. In October, 2021, the Office of the United States Trade Representative announced that it planned to re-exempt 549 imported goods from China, and solicited public opinions on this. After a lapse of nearly half a year, the Office of the US Trade Representative issued a statement on March 23, confirming 352 of the 549 imported goods from China that were to be exempted from tariffs again. This tariff exemption period has been extended many times so far.

  In March 2022, Shu Jueting, spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce, said at the press conference that China noticed that on March 23, the Office of the US Trade Representative announced that it would resume exempting 352 items of goods imported from China from additional tariffs, which would help the normal trade of related products. China has always believed that the unilateral tariff increase measures of the United States are unfavorable to China, the United States and the world. Under the current situation that inflation continues to rise and global economic recovery is facing challenges, it is hoped that the United States will cancel all tariffs on China as soon as possible from the fundamental interests of consumers and producers in China and the United States, and push bilateral economic and trade relations back to normal track as soon as possible.

A 13-year-old girl plays online games and rewards the anchor. After 43 days, she loses more than 70,000 yuan in savings at home.

  Why is the balance insufficient?

  After investigation, there were more than 490 pieces of information during the period from September 14, 2019 to October 26, 2019, all of which were "expenditures". The column of "transaction type" was mainly displayed as "quick" and "consumption", with the lowest amount in 1 yuan and the highest amount in 1000 yuan.

  Where did the savings go?

  Mr. Zeng said that although Ermei deleted all the transaction records in the short video software and the game, she inquired about Alipay payment records, of which about 50,000 yuan was used for "rewarding" and about 20,000 yuan was used for buying equipment in the game.

  Why are you spending like crazy?

  The girl told so-and-so that every recharge is voluntary and rewarding the anchor is voluntary. The reason for frequent recharge is: First, because it can be upgraded, there is pride in front of students who also play this game; Second, because you buy "skin" by recharging, you can have many beautiful clothes.

  In order to upgrade the game and reward the anchor, a 13-year-old girl from Zigong, Sichuan, recharged a short video platform, "Fifth Personality" and "Mini World" in China for more than 490 times in 43 days, and stopped her "crazy games" … …

  His mother, Wen Qingshu, said that this deposit of more than 70,000 yuan is the only savings saved by the family in the past two years. When this happened, she blamed herself, saying that she didn’t discipline her children well on weekdays. At the same time, she also hopes that the platform can be refunded.

  On November 10th, Wen Qingshu reported to the local police station in Fushun, Zigong for help. A few days ago, the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalist also contacted the short video platform involved, and the other party responded that if the minor rewards without the consent of the guardian, once verified, the platform will give a full refund.

  Insufficient balance

  Mother’s bank withdrew more than 70,000 yuan and her savings were "missing"

  At 3 o’clock on the afternoon of November 10th, Wen Qingshu, 51, from Fushun County, Zigong City, went to the bank to withdraw money to pay the rent. The counter staff told her that "the balance of your card is insufficient", which surprised her: the card clearly has more than 70,000 yuan. How could it be missing?

  Through further inquiry, it was found that the savings card was artificially bound to Alipay, and almost all of the 74,242.58 yuan in the card was spent through Alipay, leaving only 0.46 yuan.

  Wen Qingshu and her husband have three daughters. The eldest daughter has worked, and the second and third daughters are still in primary school. For many years, her husband worked in other places, and Wen Qingshu spent most of her time at home taking care of her two daughters’ diet and daily life. Wen Qingshu’s education level is limited, and she has little contact with new things. She has never used online payment methods such as online banking, Alipay and WeChat. For the sake of economy, even the simplest bank card SMS prompt function has not been opened.

  So, who moved the savings deposit at home? Wen Qingshu hurriedly called her eldest daughter and asked her to come back and find out.

  Checklist

  More than 490 expenditure records Once at most, 1000 yuan.

  Knowing that the money in her mother’s bank card was "missing", the eldest daughter called her husband to the lady and hurried back to Fushun from Zigong City. With the help of her daughter and son-in-law, Wen Qingshu printed the running list in the bank and then took it home to check it carefully.

  After consulting, the running list information from September 14, 2019 to October 26, 2019 is really surprising.

  According to the inventory records, there are about 508 pieces of transaction information in the whole year, among which only more than 10 pieces of transaction information were recorded from November 11, 2018 to September 7, 2019, while more than 490 pieces of information were recorded from September 14, 2019 to October 26, 2019, all of which were "expenditure", and the column of "transaction type" was mainly displayed as "quick" and "consumption".

  After the transaction on October 26, 2019, Wen Qingshu’s bank card had no transaction record. Until the afternoon of November 10, she went to the bank to withdraw money and found that the balance in the card was only 0.46 yuan.

  Through speculation and repeated thinking, the family included their second daughter Xiang Moumou as a suspect.

  family meeting

  The second daughter admitted spending Cary’s money.

  Used to recharge games and reward anchors.

  Mr. Zeng, the son-in-law, told the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalist that at 6 pm on November 10th, a family meeting was held at home, and the second daughter admitted that she had moved her mother’s bank card.

  The second daughter confessed to her family that the money in the bank card was used by her, but it was not clear how much she used, except that after the last payment at the end of October, she could no longer use it. These 490 expenses totaled more than 74,000 yuan, all of which were used for game recharge and rewarding anchors.

  Under the family’s questioning, the second daughter also admitted that the money was mainly used in two aspects, one was to buy "skin" in the game, and the other was to "reward" the anchor when watching the live game in the short video software. Mr. Zeng said that although Ermei deleted all the transaction records in the short video software and the game, she inquired about the payment records of Alipay, of which about 50,000 yuan was used for "rewarding" and about 20,000 yuan was used for buying equipment in the game.

  The reporter looked at the contents of the games played to XXX, mainly role-playing games. In one of the game interfaces named "Fifth Personality", the role information played by XXX shows that the recharge data is 156,490, and the recharge amount is 15,649 yuan (without deducting the gift score) according to the rule that 1 yuan money is exchanged for 10 points set in the game.

  According to Mr. Zeng, most of the deposits in the bank card are used to "reward" many live anchors in short video software, and almost all of them play role-playing games live. According to his incomplete statistics, the amount used to reward someone is about 50,000 yuan.

  The girl involved

  Recharge and reward are voluntary.

  For "pride" and "nice clothes"

  The girl told the reporter that she probably started to contact role-playing games at the beginning of last year, mainly focusing on the game of "fifth personality". She plays with her mobile phone every day when she comes home from school. Under normal circumstances, she plays games for two or three hours every day, and on weekends, she spends more time.

  In the game, you can upgrade to someone by "fighting", and at the same time, you can purchase points by recharging cash to achieve rapid upgrade and buy different types of "skins" in the mall. Judging from the running list, the first recharge time to XXX was September 14th, 2019, and the recharge amount was 1 yuan money, and then it was increased one after another until it was expanded to watch live video and reward live anchors.

  Xiang said that the mobile phone number she used was registered with her mother’s ID card, and then she quietly found her mother’s bank card, and registered Alipay through self-study, and then began to recharge.

  From 1 yuan to 10 yuan, to 68 yuan, and then to 198 yuan, the highest single recharge of 1000 yuan … … After trying again and again, I found that my mother would not find out after each recharge, so the amount of recharge was increasing. In her opinion, Cary’s money is inexhaustible.

  To say that every recharge is voluntary, and rewarding the anchor is voluntary. The reason for frequent recharge is: First, because it can be upgraded, there is pride in front of students who also play this game; Second, because you buy "skin" by recharging, you can have many beautiful clothes.

  For the reporter’s question "Do you know how many clothes you can buy with the money you recharged in reality", I said "I don’t know" to XXX; The reporter asked, "Do you know what the money is for your mother and family?" He also said, "I don’t know."

  Mother blames herself.

  It is also responsible for not disciplining your daughter well.

  I hope the platform will refund.

  Wen Qingshu, the mother, blamed herself very much. She said frankly, "I don’t understand these high technologies", but the fact that her second daughter spent all her savings playing games at home also blamed her for not disciplining her daughter well on weekdays and should bear part of the responsibility.

  Wen Qingshu said that this 70,000 yuan was accumulated in the past two years, when her husband worked outside the home and saved money. So much money was saved at home, and she hoped to save more for her second daughter and third daughter to study. Suddenly, all my savings are gone, and I feel very sad. I don’t know what to do. I hope the platform can get a refund.

  At 9 o’clock on the evening of November 10, Wen Qingshu, accompanied by her eldest daughter and son-in-law, went to the local police station to report the case. On November 11th, Mr. Zeng, the son-in-law, took his second sister to the local cultural department to reflect this situation, and called the cultural department where the relevant game software was registered to tell the story and put it on record.

  Mr. Zeng told reporters that they hope more parents can take warning, correctly guide and manage their children to play games, and avoid similar situations from happening again. At the same time, they also want to seek help through the media to understand the legal ways to recover related losses, hoping to get a refund.

  Platform involved

  If the minor rewards without the consent of the guardian

  Once verified, a full refund will be made.

  A few days ago, the Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star journalist also contacted the short video software platform used by Xiang Moumou. According to the relevant person in charge of the platform, first of all, the platform does not approve of minors to recharge their rewards when watching live broadcasts. If minors reward without the consent of their guardians, once verified, the platform will refund them in full. In addition, when minors use the software platform, parents can first turn on the youth mode in the interface. After this mode is turned on, content suitable for teenagers will be presented, and it is impossible to recharge the live broadcast.

  In addition, the relevant staff of the production platform of the "fifth personality" game said that in the event of similar situations, parents are advised to make corresponding complaints through the "caring platform" of the platform. In addition, the platform suggests that parents can communicate with their children more and educate minors to play games reasonably. The platform will also work with parents to jointly protect the growth of minors.

  Lawyer’s statement

  A 13-year-old girl is a person with limited capacity for civil conduct.

  Can declare a refund to the operating platform.

  But guardians are also at fault.

  Lawyer Zhang Shouyao of Sichuan Fangce Law Firm believes that the General Principles of Civil Law stipulates that minors over the age of eight are persons with limited capacity for civil conduct, and they can perform civil legal acts on their behalf or with the consent and ratification of their legal representatives, but they can independently perform civil legal acts that are purely beneficial or that are suitable for their age and intelligence.

  Zhang Shouyao said that as far as the incident is concerned, the 13-year-old girl recharged the game and rewarded more than 70,000 yuan, which is no longer a civil act commensurate with her age and intelligence. If the legal representative does not ratify it, the act is invalid and she can request to return all the recharge and rewards. On the one hand, it can be solved through negotiation, and if necessary, it can seek help from the Consumers Association; If negotiation fails, it can be settled through litigation.

  Lawyer Feng Jun, a member of the Rights Protection Committee of Sichuan Lawyers Association, said that the 13-year-old girl is a minor and a person with limited capacity for civil conduct in civil law, and she can make judgments on life matters corresponding to her current age. It is generally understood that it is ok for girls to play games such as video game city if they spend hundreds of dollars to buy game coins, but it is invalid to use more than 70 thousand yuan for game recharge one after another. Based on this, the game operator should return the prepaid money to the girl’s parents "because the girl’s big recharge behavior has not been approved by her parents".

  Feng Jun said that as parents, they should fix evidence to prove that their parents are unaware of the large recharge behavior, and then report to the customer service phone of the game operation platform. If the platform refuses to accept it, they can file a lawsuit in the name of their parents and recover the money through judicial procedures. In addition, Feng Jun also said that in this incident, the girl’s parents, as guardians, failed to fulfill their guardianship responsibilities and bank card custody responsibilities, and they also had certain faults.

Watch out for bad "niche attractions" during holidays.

  Guangzhou Daily News (all-media reporter Wen Jing) The holiday in Tomb-Sweeping Day has arrived, and the weather is getting warmer. Whether hiking, camping or long-distance travel around the city is getting hotter and hotter. However, it should be noted that there are hidden dangers in some minority scenic spots and undeveloped areas that have been "planted with grass" on social platforms. On April 3, all-media reporters learned that some social media platforms are cracking down on users sharing content such as "improper play strategy" and "promotion of’ dangerous attractions’". Among them, "Little Red Book" extensively linked community users to form a joint effort of governance, and launched the "risk location" reporting line at the end of January this year. In the past two months, more than 48,000 reports have been received from users. After verification, the platform excavated 112 new risk locations and disposed of more than 350,000 "bad notes".

  In addition, another social media giant, Tik Tok, also issued a "safety tip" to remind users not to shoot or publish related content of "wild scenic spots", closed or restricted areas with potential safety hazards when they go hiking in Tomb-Sweeping Day.

  The reporter saw in Xiaohongshu’s "Risk Location" reporting line that when users find recommended dangerous attractions and other contents in the station, they can click on the top of the notes to enter the "Reporting" entrance and select "Risk Location", and the platform will quickly dispose of it after verification. Up to now, Xiaohongshu has put safety tips on more than 520,000 notes of risky locations.

  In March of this year, Xiaohongshu also publicized a number of "dangerous places" on foot in the station. "With the popularity of hiking, more and more outdoor enthusiasts are seeking new adventures. However, many places not only have extremely high natural protection value, but also complex terrain and weather conditions bring great risks to hiking exploration. We strongly urge everyone to avoid entering high-risk areas. " The relevant person in charge of the governance of Xiaohongshu platform said, "In the process of investigating risk locations, there are actually situations in which screening is difficult and the number is difficult to exhaust. Therefore, we also hope to unite user power as an important supplementary means to tap risks."

  For different contents, Xiaohongshu has adopted refined management to fully protect the enthusiasm of creators while ensuring safety. The relevant person in charge said that the platform will "play all the games" for the content that is explicitly prohibited by law and the forbidden place of official licensing; At the same time, "it will also fully verify the requirements of the place of play, whether it is forbidden to enter the whole area or controlled by limited conditions, so as to manage it more accurately."

  In addition, the platform has also carried out governance for the improper strategies of "evading tickets", "avoiding security inspection", "copying trails" and "privately digging vegetation". The above-mentioned person in charge suggested that "travel chaos such as ticket evasion has a long history. In order to let users see safer travel strategies, the platform is willing to work with all sectors of society to resist improper strategies and form a joint effort of governance." The relevant person in charge of the platform said.

Is high face value the "last word"? Online celebrity stores should be "Yan" and "strict"

  At the "Xicha" located on the second floor of Juntai Department Store in Xidan, Beijing, people who buy and wait for tea are crowded with tea shops.

  Our reporter Zhang Yiqi photo

  In recent years, Jinan City, Shandong Province, based on the ancient historical and cultural resources of Quancheng, has actively preserved and restored many old buildings in the commercial port period, including Xiaoguanghan, created an "oriental painting" that perfectly combines China’s traditional culture with modern high technology, and innovated and upgraded the "online celebrity" punching place, Kuanli Qilu Food Club, forming a unique architectural style, time-honored brand and commercial culture of Quancheng Jinan.

  The picture shows an old shop owner soliciting customers in front of Qilu Food Fair in Kuanli, Jinan.

  On Tuesday, May 14th, at 3: 50pm, the "Happy Tea" on the 2nd floor of Juntai Department Store in Xidan, Beijing was crowded. This online celebrity tea shop, which often appears in WeChat circle of friends and Tik Tok, often has to wait in line for dozens of minutes or even hours. Even if the queue time is long, it still does not affect its super popularity. After 4 o’clock, there are more and more people queuing in this store in Xidan.

  Online celebrity, refers to the network red man. Online celebrity stores refer to those shops with high popularity on the Internet, including restaurants, cafes, tea shops and homestays. Especially under the premise of continuous development of self-media and short videos, more and more stores have become online celebrity stores with the help of them, attracting many people to come to punch in.

  However, becoming a online celebrity store is only a marketing tool, and attracting customers is only a primary goal. In the longer term, it is necessary to retain customers, which requires shops to work hard on products and services. Online celebrity store should have a good reputation, but more importantly, it should strictly control the quality to create a veritable online celebrity store that can stand the market test.

  Is high face value the "last word"?

  Observing the online celebrity stores that are popular on the Internet, we can find that they basically have one thing in common, that is, they pursue "high value". Either the store decoration style is unique, or the product packaging is unique, or the product itself is unique, but in the final analysis, it is able to attract people at the first time.

  "Hi Tea" has made great efforts in stores and products. From shop design to tea cup packaging to milk tea itself, it has a "high value", and then through the recommendation of various road networks and the customers who have experienced it, its communication effect has doubled, attracting more and more people to try.

  Xiaoliang works in a hospital in Langfang City, Hebei Province, and often comes to Beijing to play with family and friends. I often see the recommendation of "hi tea", so she and her friends stood in line for 50 minutes at the "hi tea" in Zhongguancun, Beijing, and finally tasted the legendary "hi tea". "I mainly want to taste how delicious it can be. Langfang doesn’t sell it. If you come to Beijing, you have to try it."

  Xiaoliang’s evaluation of "hi tea" is average, and he thinks there is nothing unique about the taste. However, Guo Yiran, who often drinks "hi tea", thinks it tastes very good.

  Guo Maoran works in an Internet company in Beijing, and often gets together with friends on weekends or in his spare time, so he has come into contact with many online celebrity stores, especially some online celebrity restaurants. Guo Maoran showed reporters several restaurants in online celebrity that she had been to with her mobile phone. From the pictures, these restaurants are novel in design, unique in style and superior in geographical location, all of which have high "face value".

  Guo Maoran introduced a restaurant next to the Forbidden City. This restaurant is located in a small courtyard, with simple and elegant interior design, the Forbidden City wall outside the window and exquisite food. This restaurant is suitable for both parties and taking photos, but it is very expensive. In public comments, the per capita price of this restaurant exceeds that of 700 yuan. "But in fact, the food is not very delicious. Many customers go to take pictures. Even so, there are still many people. " Guo Yiran said.

  But not all online celebrity stores only pursue "high value" on the facade, and some online celebrity stores will constantly improve the quality of products and services and attract customers with connotation. Others become online celebrity stores because of their connotations.

  Kobayashi works in the headquarters of Shanghai UnionPay. He talked to reporters about an experience of queuing. Radio Lane Hot Pot, located near Shanghai Hongqiao Football Stadium, is very famous in Shanghai. It is also a online celebrity restaurant, and there are long queues at the restaurant door every day. Kobayashi once went to queue up at 2: 45 pm. Unexpectedly, he didn’t eat until 8 pm, and the queue was nearly 6 hours. In the end, Kobayashi and his friends only ate for 2 hours. "The hot pot tastes good. Although it has been waiting for a long time, I think it is still worth it." Xiaolin said.

  Liao Huaixue, a lawyer of Taihetai Law Firm, said in an interview that online celebrity’s economy is an attention economy. Relying on the spread of the Internet, social short videos and other platforms to promote, online celebrity Store can get a lot of attention in a short period of time and has a huge flow. Attention and flow mean purchasing power, which can be transformed into economic benefits.

  How much do you know about the routines of online celebrity store?

  There is a buzzword on the internet: the longest road I have traveled is your routine. This sentence is very suitable for online celebrity stores, and it is the customers who fall into the "routine" that make online celebrity stores popular.

  Queuing is one of the marketing routines of online celebrity store. When you see a long queue at the door of a certain store, many people’s first instinct is that the products of this store should be very good, which may lead to the idea that "I should try it, too." This is exactly what online celebrity stores want, and many online celebrity stores use this psychology to attract customers. In order to create the effect of queuing, some online celebrity stores will set the counter near the door to increase the illusion of long queues.

  While waiting in line at a online celebrity store, the reporter interviewed a number of customers in line at random. Some customers come here because they like it, others come here for admiration, and some just pass by and see many people queuing up to buy. It has been repeatedly exposed on the Internet that some online celebrity stores hire people to queue up to create false prosperity, so as to attract people. What’s more, he even started a queuing business, selling his own number to customers, and became a "scalper" queuing in online celebrity stores.

  More routines are using social networks, and taking photos and punching cards is one of them. Guo Maoran once experienced a photo studio, mainly taking id photos. At the time of checkout, the store told me that if you upload the ID photos that have been washed out in the WeChat circle of friends, you can enjoy the discount. Guo Yiran took a photo of his identity card and uploaded it. "Unexpectedly, many people came to ask me where this photo studio is?" Guo Yiran recalled this experience to reporters. "This invisibly brought more customers to this photo studio."

  Nowadays, many online celebrity stores adopt the strategy of encouraging customers to take photos, and increase the exposure of the stores by sharing them with customers themselves. As the saying goes, "three people make a tiger", if people constantly bask in the same store on social networks, it will arouse more people’s curiosity, thus gathering more popularity for online celebrity stores.

  "Under the influence of social networks, in addition to actual consumption, consumers go to online celebrity stores and meet the needs of social sharing, such as punching cards in online celebrity stores and sending friends." Liao Huai said. This shows that the strategy of online celebrity stores spreading through social networks is very effective.

  People who often brush Tik Tok will brush short videos that recommend eating, drinking and having fun, or recommend short videos of some shops from time to time. Seeing the recommended food, I will itch to try it. But this is probably the "routine" of online celebrity store.

  Since the rise of media, especially short videos, online celebrity stores have found new marketing methods. By shooting short videos, food and services can be displayed in all directions, and then some self-media marketing numbers, including Tik Tok, are employed to constantly recommend stores, so as to build the store into a online celebrity store. Or invite some online celebrity to come to the store to experience, and improve the popularity of online celebrity store through the heat of online celebrity.

  Jin Ge, an assistant researcher in Peking University and a doctor of journalism, analyzed the reasons to the reporter: passenger flow is a potential benefit for shops, and the current conventional methods to attract passengers generally cost more. Attracting traffic through the internet and then converting it to offline has become a new channel for obtaining passenger flow. This way of obtaining passenger flow is obviously lower and more efficient than conventional advertising and sales promotion.

  "For shopkeepers in online celebrity, they will do whatever attracts attention on the Internet." Jin Ge said that there is still a problem of marginal cost. The more shops that attract people’s attention, the lower the price of traffic.

  Why is it difficult for online celebrity store to "grow red"?

  If one word is used to describe online celebrity store, ups and downs are the most appropriate. Many online celebrity stores that have been screened are gradually fading out of people’s sight, and even have closed down. It lasts only a few months, and the longer time may only be one year. A netizen concluded: "They are all online celebrity stores living in a circle of friends. When they disappear from your circle of friends, it is not far from the real disappearance. "

  But there are exceptions. Some online celebrity shops have survived, and "Hi Tea" is one of them. In addition, there are those shops that rely on providing high-quality products and services, which have gained higher popularity by building the marketing strategy of online celebrity stores.

  It can be seen that quality is the lifeline of online celebrity store. No matter Xiaoliang, Guo Yuran or Kobayashi, they all said in an interview that if online celebrity stores want to be really popular, they should start with quality and do a good job in quality control so that products can stand in the market.

  Behind the online celebrity store is the realization of traffic, that is, a large amount of traffic obtained on the Internet will be turned into actual passenger flow, which will bring real income. "No matter how well advertising marketing is done, if products and services can’t bring consumers the expected experience, it will be difficult to get repeat customers." Jin Ge said that this would cause online celebrity stores to gain traffic while losing traffic, which is obviously not a wise move.

  "Even online celebrity stores are in the hearts of consumers ‘ Planting grass ’ The process is also a process of constantly improving the expectation of experience, which is also a challenge to the quality of products and services of online celebrity stores. " Jin Ge said.

  Serious homogenization is a common problem in online celebrity stores, and conformity psychology exists not only in consumers, but also in online celebrity stores. When a online celebrity store is on fire, the same type of store will appear immediately, and the same marketing method will be used to build a online celebrity store, even with similar names, which will cause consumers’ aesthetic fatigue.

  Jin Ge said that although the rise of the emerging Internet business model has provided a low-threshold platform for innovation, it is easy to innovate and difficult to attract attention. Therefore, following the trend and hitchhiking have become speculative choices.

  In the marketing of online celebrity store, it may also involve the issue of false propaganda. Under the fame, it is really difficult to be deputy. In the media marketing soft articles or short videos, exaggerated methods are used to amplify the effect of products. "If the actual situation after arriving at the store is inconsistent with the propaganda content of the online celebrity store, its behavior has constituted false propaganda." Liao Huaixue said that Article 4 of the Advertising Law clearly stipulates that advertisements shall not contain false or misleading contents and shall not deceive or mislead consumers. Advertisers should be responsible for the authenticity of advertising content.

  In addition, if the online celebrity store involves false propaganda and infringes consumers’ right to know, according to the relevant provisions of the Consumer Protection Law, the store should bear corresponding legal responsibilities. Consumers should take up legal weapons in time to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests if they encounter some shops that are not worthy of the name and involve deception. This is not only responsible for yourself, but also for society.

  At the same time, public comment, WeChat, Tik Tok and other apps should assume corresponding responsibilities. "From the perspective of platform responsibility, the network platform should take comprehensive prevention and control measures to regulate the online celebrity stores in the platform, protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, and earnestly fulfill the platform obligations." Liao Huai said.

How to create the explosion of "Ideal City" and convey entertainment? | Company of the Year

Author | A Po

"There is no conflict between ratings and word of mouth, and even a win-win effect can be achieved. I have been thinking about the subject of individual content creation and large-scale production, and how to use scientific and technological means to combine the laws of film and television creation to help content production and improve the quality of works. "

Zhao Wenzhu, as the president of Relay Entertainment, mentioned the new changes of Relay Entertainment in 2021 when interviewed by Entertainment Unicorn.

"I think that on the basis of good content, we should do a good job in transmitting works produced by entertainment. One is a personalized’ Michelin drama’, that is, a quality word-of-mouth drama that is closer to the creator’s personal subjective concept and gives him creative space; One is a pan-family drama that can maximize the audience and can be developed on a large scale. I define it as’ McDonald’s drama’. "

From the early summer, the youth drama Wit Love Life and the popular variety Meng Detective Detective Case were almost simultaneously released, to the industry drama Ideal City of the summer magnolia award cast, and then to the legendary Oriental puppet drama Lady Huzhu.Throughout the whole year of entertainment, dramas, variety shows, national TV dramas, pure net vertical categories, traffic explosions, and word-of-mouth explosions have not fallen behind.

Delivery Entertainment was officially renamed from Tianma Film and Television on April 13, 2018. It has not yet reached its third anniversary by the end of 2021, but it has already experienced three strategic upgrades and has fully evolved into a content production company with a complete industrial chain.

Executive Director of Delivery Entertainment, President of Delivery Entertainment,

Zhao Wenzhu, General Manager of Houhai Culture

How does the young but mature delivery entertainment achieve the entry with high-quality copyright, two years of open cooperation, learning experience, two years of optimizing self-control, and a stable place for drama and drama? To C perspective and semi-industrial model are very important. The market is also looking forward to whether the delivery entertainment will be the next "explosive manufacturing machine" with stable output.

From copyright development to self-control,

Why did the S+ Ideal City become a highlight in one fell swoop?

 

"Ideal City" is the first TV series independently produced by Houhai Culture, a film and television production company under Entertainment, but it is not the first "explosion" to convey entertainment.

In 2020, the high-profile online drama "Chess Soul", as the first successful adaptation of Japanese IP in the field of domestic drama, made Houhai culture famous in the film and television drama industry.

At that time, Houhai Culture still used high-quality copyright procurement as an entry ticket for the industry, and began to contact the new companies of film and television production. After cooperating with the excellent production team Xiaotangren Film and Jiaxing Media respectively on Chess Soul and Lady Huzhu, the entertainment of "learning on the shoulders of giants" quickly evolved.

"I think the thick sea culture after 2019 is the best incubator for the project" Ideal City "."

Besides the cooperation experience of Chess Soul and Lady Huzhu, as well as the self-made experience of two light weight projects, The Tale of Young Jianghu and Smart Love Life, Ideal City, as the first S+ level heavyweight project, has actually been accompanied by Houhai culture for a long time.

Because the contents of the original novel Su Xiao’s War and the story outline are very bright and solid in Zhao Wenzhu’s view, Houhai culture, which was originally created as a helper, communicated with the Chinese brothers with a try attitude after consciously undertaking the Ideal City. It was also based on mutual trust in the previous cooperation and was recognized by the other party. Houhai culture also had this self-made experience.

"At the beginning, we also hoped to make it a benchmark for industry dramas."

So when director Liu Jin mentioned that he wanted to try to replace the traditional green screen shooting with LED special effects screen, the production team of Houhai also seriously considered the possibility of this challenge.

Fortunately, we have to rely on the relatively mature production system within Transmission Entertainment to make a strict cost calculation. Although the LED special effects screen itself has increased the budget, it has been placed in the whole production cycle, saving a lot of time for the crew to change the scene and set. From the past, the whole team moved the venue to just moving one LED special effects screen and the picture on the screen. At the same time, the actors have a picture reference when shooting, and the sense of substitution is better than that of green screen shooting, and the quality of special effects in the later period has also improved. It can be said that the quality control has been improved on the basis of controllable budget.

The experience gained from this new technology attempt can be applied to other projects in the future., especially costume dramas with large special effects.

The broadcast results were also expected. Douban scored 7.7, with a peak of 7.8, and has remained above 7.5 so far, ranking within the Top10 of China Audiovisual Big Data (official CVB) ratings for the whole year, and the long tail effect is remarkable. Douban has become one of the ceiling works of domestic industry dramas in recent years, and it has also become the first highlight moment to convey the road of entertainment self-control.

The resumption of the project is multi-stage and multi-dimensional. From the pre-script to the mid-production, to the late broadcast and even the long tail stage, whether the financial overrun, the performance of the broadcast volume and the public opinion feedback will be included.

It is true that in the production process of "Ideal City", the team had a little struggle, that is, as a popular TV series, should it be understood by more people of all walks of life or focus more on the industry itself? However, since the IP foundation is already very solid, we will simply make the industry the ultimate.

Zhao Wenzhu believes that,This is to think clearly about positioning and what to do before doing the project.The positioning of "Meng Detective Detective Case" is an absolute universal entertainment variety show, that is, it can tolerate the fluctuation of its word of mouth, and it has absolute advantages in terms of popularity and discussion volume; And "Ideal City" is a relatively threshold TV series, especially in the first few episodes, and its absolute stable reputation is its standard criterion.

Michelin Drama and McDonald’s Drama,

Two-line play from the perspective of to C

 

The different emphases of "Ideal City" and "Meng Detective Case" just represent the two "alternative" tracks laid out in the next content output, and they are also two types launched by Zhao Wenzhu based on the brand-new strategy of the company’s third upgrade: namely"Michelin drama"and"McDonald’s drama".

Compared with many film and television companies, they are positioned by the types of themes they are good at when they are incubating projects.Transmission of entertainment will more broadly classify all kinds of theme types into projects mainly aimed at audience or projects mainly aimed at creative mode:A quality word-of-mouth drama that is closer to the creator’s personal subjective idea and gives him creative space is "Michelin drama"; A pan-family drama that can maximize the number of viewers and can be developed on a large scale is called "McDonald’s drama".

"Of course, the core of every project must remain the same, whether it is Michelin or McDonald’s.Good content and characters are prerequisites.. "

This is especially good for companies that started with IP incubation, such as Delivery Entertainment, because it is possible to conduct targeted evaluation and differentiation from the IP source.

The first selection criterion is the story itself., you will definitely choose an IP that is different from most stories and has distinctive highlights. In this layer of screening, you will determine whether the story foundation and character setting are solid. If it is an overseas IP, you will confirm whether it is particularly suitable for China’s localized adaptation. These are the major premises.

The second selection criterion is the story type.Whether it can be hatched into a "McDonald’s drama" for national entertainment on a large scale; Or impress a group of the best directors and screenwriters with the story core, and add points to IP empowerment with their secondary processing, and finally complete a word-of-mouth quality "Michelin drama".

If the scope is narrowed down once more in the existing two-level screening criteria, it will be accurate to some stories with strong plot themes and some stories with emotional themes, and there will be a certain amount of stories that tend to be "other themes" of women’s strength.

Zhao Wenzhu bluntly said that the film and television winter has not passed, and when the market is cold, both project production and IP procurement will enter a cooling-off period, and blind price wars will no longer be fought. It is the current status quo to start from the IP source. Fortunately, after the continuous IP adaptation of delivery entertainment, more domestic and foreign IP platforms have included it as the first choice, which also means that delivery entertainment will be exposed to high-quality IP resources faster than most film and television companies.

Talking about how the relay entertainment, which has always focused on "all-round drama", will be laid out in variety, Zhao Wenzhu said,Different from the content diversity and target diversity of film and television dramas, variety itself, as a type of mass entertainment, will be positioned as more universal content and tend to be more happy for the whole family at the beginning of planning.

The existing "mystery", "Meng Exploration" and the amateur love variety "Like You, Me, too" are based on "family fun", which redistributes the different practices of being relatively partial to the public and small to the public in terms of guest selection and the theme that the selected guests can adapt to.

In any case, what the audience likes to watch from the perspective of To C will always be our first priority.I hope that every project launched can get high marks in the professional evaluation department within the company, reaching a level that can be worthy of the audience’s IQ and EQ. "

Multi-link division of labor and cooperation,

Internal self-circulation of industrial chain

 

Why can the delivery entertainment achieve successive explosions in five years, and it is even expected to become the next "explosion manufacturing machine"?

"Different from some workshop-style productions of traditional domestic dramas, such as entrusting the budget to a production director, who will go to every link of the’ code plate’ saving process.Transmission entertainment has its own semi-industrial production process system.. "

Under the semi-industrial production process system, the complete production team will be the company’s own team, and the production progress of the project will be fully scheduled by the production management center, and collected and calculated by a computer system program of the production management system. In this system, the daily flow, budget and detailed rules of the project will be transparent, and the process cycle will also be transparent.

Why is it called "semi-industrialized" production process system? Zhao Wenzhu believes that the story from the source IP to the film and television drama project, in addition to following the inevitable creative laws, is rich in more elements of "moving people with emotion", and emotions will vary from person to person and from time to time. Therefore,From development to production, the combination of "manual+system" such as "strategic system+production process system" is more scientific and applicable at present.

Under the strategic system of delivering entertainment, the internal professional strategic analysis team will summarize and analyze the audience’s preferences on an annual basis, including different audiences covered by different themes, and make real-time corrections and adjustments. At the same time, the company’s internal evaluation team will make subjective evaluation for the stories in the copyright stage and the outline stage based on the strategies of "Michelin Drama" and "McDonald’s Drama", supplemented by objective systematic evaluation, and combine the projects with the most development potential to incubate.

"Of course, the delivery of entertainment is now a series of industrial chains of a certain scale, including producers’ teams, directors and screenwriters with fixed cooperation, and subsidiaries focusing on artists’ brokers.There are two standards for cooperation in different links. First of all, everyone’s ideas must be consistent, so that in the process of division of labor and cooperation in all links, it can be harmonious and smooth; The second is that we prefer to grow with young potential people."

At present, the delivery entertainment is based on Houhai culture, which mainly focuses on content production and IP development incubation, supplemented by two content production companies which are deeply bound to high-quality screenwriters and directors, two artist brokerage companies, namely Li Yitong and other artists, and Wenlan Culture, which is mainly based on YCY, and the delivery love entertainment MCN company, which is a joint venture with iQiyi, to form a complete internal self-circulation.

As for the production of Houhai culture, there is a system of China-Taiwan to complete production and publicity business. Further specifically, at the content production level, there are four producers who are responsible for the types of projects that they are good at.

Among them, the light and sweet pet drama Embrace koi fish "xianggong", which was just finished one month ago, the suspense criminal investigation drama "Black Soil is Silent", the 12-episode short drama "Locar’s Law" adapted from the hot Japanese drama "Unnatural Death", Xian Xia’s drama "Half the City with a Romantic Moon", the realistic drama "Never Live with Spring" and the amateur love network comprehensive "Like You" which will be launched this year.

Getting rid of workshop operation, clear structure and clear division of labor are the only way for every film and television company that reaches a certain scale to mature.

"In order to convey the current system collocation and rapid development rhythm of entertainment, it really needs some young and challenging teams to dare to try. It happens that our four producer teams all have such adventurous attributes. After trying, everyone really benefits a lot from the brand-new system."

This may be the instant innovation needed in the era of science and technology Internet. As Su Xiao, the hero of Ideal City, said, "Is it always right?" The entire film and television industry also needs more entertainment, such as the head company that constantly realizes self-evolution to lead everyone out of the cold winter and into the formal.
