　The 50th anniversary of the band’s dissolution.

《Don’t let　me　down》

Crashing hit a wall

Right now I need a miracle

Hurry up now I need a miracle

Stranded reaching out

I call your name but you’re not around

I say your name but you’re not around

I need you I need you I need you right now

Yeah I need you right now

So don’t let me don’t let me don’t let me down

　

Fifty years ago, in April 1970, paul mccartney of the Beatles.（Paul McCartney）The announcement of solo flight not only broke the hearts of millions of fans, but also shocked three other band members. It was regarded as a symbol of the official dissolution of the Beatles, and an American reporter called it "a milestone in the decline of the British Empire". With lead singer John Lennon（John Lennon）Being shot, the world will never see this great band perform on the same stage again.

　

There are different opinions about the reasons why the band broke up. At first, it was difficult for fans to understand and accept it, but as time went by, the truth gradually emerged. The gap between the four has a long history, since the band’s Bole and agent Brian Epstein in 1967.（Brian Epstein）After his death, the Beatles often had disputes because of economic disputes and different creative demands, and everyone was exhausted. The financial situation of the co-established Apple Studio was in chaos. Paul was very dissatisfied with Lennon’s practice of obtaining cash from the studio privately, and had a disagreement when introducing new management. He hoped to invite his father-in-law to manage it, but this suggestion was not recognized by the other three Beatles, and Paul refused to sign the final letter of appointment. All kinds of emotions piled up and finally broke out after Lennon met his second wife.

Many people think it is Japanese artist Yoko Ono Lennon.（Yoko Ono）The appearance of Lennon cut off the spiritual bond between Paul and Lennon. Since her high-profile combination with Lennon, they have been inseparable all day. Under her influence, Lennon became interested in avant-garde art and actively participated in contemporary art and anti-war performance art. Lennon said, "Yoko is a part of me now. We are John and Yoko, we are together. " This new enthusiasm also affected Lennon’s time devoted to the band itself, and the members who were left out in the cold felt unhappy and increasingly dissatisfied. Paul even said in an interview: "John fell in love with Yoko, and he no longer loved the other three of us."

　

In fact, Lennon’s love for Yoko Ono Lennon made up for the trauma of single-parent family, which not only brought him endless emotional comfort, but also inspired Lennon’s creative inspiration. Just eight years ago, Paul finally explained to the public that as far as he was concerned, the dissolution of the band had nothing to do with Yoko Ono Lennon.

　

In fact, Lennon wanted to fly solo earlier: in September 1969, Lennon proposed to quit the Beatles. At that time, the Beatles were negotiating with EMI to renew their contract, so they were put on hold. He still attended the Toronto Rock Music Festival with Plastic Ono in the same month, and on February 11th, 1970, he played a new solo "Instant Karma" on the British TV program "Pop Songs", in which Yoko Ono Lennon sat behind him and knitted while covering her eyes with sanitary napkins.

　

Finally, in 1969, the rooftop performance on the red brick roof at No.3 Saville Street became the curtain call performance of the Beatles. In a cold English winter, four people improvised on the roof for 42 minutes, singing Get back and Don’t let me down respectively. For the Beatles, who like to be spontaneous and good at breaking the rules, this farewell may be the most in line with the characteristics of the band, and the police’s suspension adds a touch of more sadistic flavor to all this. In the documentary, the four people smiled simply in this performance, but their singing remained sincere and natural. As all members of the band pointed out, despite personal conflicts, they still liked the music they had composed together.

　

beatlemania

《Strawberry Fields Forever》

Let me take you down
‘Cause I’m going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It’s getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn’t matter much to me

　

The Beatles were born in the declining old industrial city of Liverpool, England. In the 1950s, when noise jazz was popular in Britain, Lennon was only a teenager.(Born in 1940)I met Paul, who is two years younger than him.(Born in 1942)Attracted by each other’s talents, they formed a band called Quarrymen. Soon george harrison.（George Harrison）Joined and became the third guitarist. Since then, the core trio has changed including Peter Best.（Pete Best）A series of drummers, including Ringo Starr.（Starr）The accession in 1962 stabilized.

　

Before the appearance of rock music, the mainstream of American pop music was jazz, as well as swing music and country music played by jazz bands. Elvis Presley Elvis Presley（Elvis Pressley）The combination of country music, blues and mountain rock music formed a new style with distinctive personality, which strongly shocked the music scene at that time. His signature hip twisting movements, excellent dancing skills and the transformation of mainstream music ignited the passion of the younger generation, and the door of rock and roll was opened.

　

When this trend swept from the United States to Britain, the conservative middle class music aesthetics was the mainstream in Britain. Lennon and others were deeply influenced by rock music culture. After listening to a sad hostel recorded by Elvis Presley in 1956, he became interested in pop music. At the beginning, the Beatles sang mainly about love, with a simple and catchy rhythm, and their works mainly covered American rock. As the band became more and more mature, it gradually absorbed the essence from the initial noise jazz, and then merged it with folk songs, blues, R&B and rock music, forming its own unique style.

　

It can be said that before the 1950s, music was mostly passed down from top to bottom. Adults passed down mainstream and classical music forms to children, but since the Beatles, young people began to decide everything.

　

In 1961, the band was renamed "The Beatles". Brian, a music agent, noticed many people asking about an album called My Beauty this year. He found that the accompaniment of the album came from a little-known band in Liverpool. So, he made a special trip to the cave bar to watch the Beatles’ performance and felt a frenzy caused by this young band. Brian signed a contract with the Beatles at the end of 1961. He transformed the band, which used to hang out in Hamburg Club full of prostitutes and wandering poets, into a neat and clean group of four young idols who played blues, thus achieving great success. From the single "LOVE ME DO" in 1962 to the movie soundtrack "Help" in 1965, the Beatles became popular in Europe and America in just three years.

　

In the past, people’s understanding of the British was still a rigid gentleman’s style, but the Beatles’ youthful appearance and lively and spicy typhoon broke this convention. Their anti-upper-class, anti-orthodox artistic posture catered to the depressed resentment of contemporary young men and women and was regarded as the embodiment of the ideal of anti-cultural movement at that time. Four young boys responded intelligently and tactfully in front of the camera, teasing the reporter’s questions. Even Queen Elizabeth II of England.(Queen Elizabeth II)In Buckingham Palace, when he personally presented order of the british empire to every member of The Beatles, Lennon thanked him and said, The poor clap your hands, and the rich please shake your jewelry.

　

In 1964, the Beatles made a public appearance in the United States, which immediately caused public madness. This phenomenon was later called "British invasion"（British Invasion）There is even a special word "Beatles fan"（Beatlemania）The suffix mania stands for this phenomenon of "obsession" and means mental illness.

　

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the band’s dissolution, the wooden stage recording the original story of the Beatles was auctioned as a lot.

　

When the band members arrived at Kennedy Airport, thousands of young girls gathered together, and the police set up a cordon in front of the crowd. The girls’ faces were twisted with excitement, and they screamed and pushed, and finally broke through the cordon, and people fainted constantly, and the scene was in chaos. As for why there is such a Beatles craze, people generally think it belongs to the adolescent behavior of fans. And just the year before, shortly after the assassination of beloved President Kennedy, the United States was still immersed in sadness. When the Beatles landed in the United States with the song "I want to hold your hand", they immediately set off a crazy "Beatlemania".

　

Since the release of "Rubber Soul" in 1965, the Beatles began to change their music style and showed a more complicated world view in their music. The music structure has changed from simple and straightforward to richer, and a large number of variant chords, as well as the use of the Indian classical instrument Sita Qin, make the song full of mysterious charm. During this period, they boldly and sharply intervened in sensitive social issues, and challenged the secular behavior on the stage, which became the leading force of the youth and social and cultural movements of that era. It can be said that they are the most commercial band and the most experimental band.

　

Until "Sgt. pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band", the Beatles’ creation reached its peak, and the album constructed a whole story, which was called the pioneering work of the conceptual album. The whole album was based on a virtual sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band, which catered to the illusory, decadent, psychedelic and hippie background at that time and also completed the transformation of the spiritual connotation of rock music.

　

There is no denying that the Beatles are the most successful rock band in history, with certified sales in the United States exceeding 183 million and estimated global sales of 600 million. All four members were elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2008, it topped the list of the most successful artists of all time on Billboard Hot 100. The band won seven Grammy Awards, four British Music Awards and an Academy Award.(Best original song soundtrack of the 1970 film Let It Be)And fifteen Ivor Novello prizes. Time magazine listed them as the 100 most important people in the 20th century.

　

Why is it great?

《Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band》

It was twenty years ago today,

Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play,

theyve been going in and out of style,

but theyre guaranteed to raise the smile.

So may I introduce to you,

the act youve known for all these years,

Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

　

Why is the Beatles called great? It was related to the social and cultural background of the world at that time. After World War II, the population of the United States increased rapidly, the economy developed rapidly, and the society prospered unprecedentedly. The baby boomers who grew up in stable social progress and excellent families coincided with entering the adolescent stage in the 1950s. The wave of consumerism enables them to choose their own entertainment and consumption methods, which embodies the freedom of consumption brought about by economic prosperity.

　

In Britain, it’s a different scene. The social class division is becoming more and more obvious, and people’s preferences for music are also broken. Young British people from working-class families resonate with rock music, while other American cultures such as jazz and blues are welcomed by the middle class. The working class has been upgraded in both resources and status, and their cultural needs have also expanded. The new generation of young people are not satisfied with finishing school and just engaging in traditional jobs, but want freedom and independence. Therefore, the emergence of rock music in the 1950s just met the cultural needs of young people in Britain and America.

　

In addition, the prosperity of rock music can not be separated from the help of mass media. The progress of science and technology and the keen intuition of the recording industry make rock music "prosperous". Record owners aim at the rise of baby boomers after World War II, seize the rebellious spirit of teenagers, analyze and study the preferences of consumer groups, formulate business strategies and marketing methods, and produce and sell rock music in large quantities.

　

Due to the technical revolution of record promotion, the production cost is greatly reduced, the recording quality is greatly improved, and the price of record sales is sharply reduced. The right of propaganda and discourse of mass media seeks commercial interests in this process, and makes teenagers immerse themselves in rock music and fall into infatuation. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, the Beatles are the highest-selling band in American history, with 177 million records sold.

　

The role played by the band manager is also extremely critical. In just two years, Brian turned four boys from working-class families in Liverpool into music idols that the whole world was crazy about. In addition to changing the image of the band to be closer to that of an English gentleman, he put on a wool suit, cut-out shirts and trousers, and also negotiated business cooperation with record companies on their behalf, asking EMI Records to sign the Beatles and complete the recording of the first album in Abbey Road Studio. Before he brought the band to the United States, he had been promoting the Beatles’ songs for several weeks, and the band also appeared on the famous American program "Sullivan Theater Show", which was the highest-rated program in the United States at that time, with an audience equivalent to 40% of the total population of the United States.

Rebellious rock

　

《HEY JUDE》

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad.

Take a sad song and make it better.

Remember to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better.

　

The influence of the Beatles on western society has now been taken for granted. Their names often appear in various European and American dramas and movies, appear on the covers of countless magazines, and have countless related theme museums, documentaries, movies and other cultural materials. From Haruki Murakami to Jobs, countless cultural celebrities were deeply inspired by the Beatles.

　

But the most profound influence is the rebellious rock spirit represented by the Beatles. Rock music has a strong appeal because it creates an atmosphere in which listeners can indulge and interpret themselves. In almost crazy performances, young people feel mania, shock and love. This kind of music is fascinating because it makes the audience and musicians find resonance together and become an outlet to vent their emotions. In that confused and turbulent era, rock music broke national boundaries, eliminated cultural barriers, dissolved hierarchy to some extent, and expressed contempt for the shackles of political ideas.

　

John Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon initiated the "Peace in Bed Movement", and they jointly drew BAGISM.

　

The most famous case is the "Peace in Bed Movement" jointly created by Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon. In Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon stayed in Room 1742 of Queen Elizabeth Hotel for seven days. During this time, they do almost nothing but lie in bed all day. The door is always open, receiving all kinds of media reporters, artists, cultural celebrities and politicians who heard the news, shouting "Make love, don’t fight"（make love，no war）Anti-war manifesto.

　

Rock music represents freedom from imprisonment, and it is also a way for young people to express their thoughts, feelings and know the world. Since then, rock musicians have been brave enough to express their views on social public issues, constantly singing the theme of love and peace, and expressing their anti-war and anti-violence demands through music, which has influenced them to this day.

　

In the transformation of western pop music, rock music has also extended many branches, infiltrating into soul, funk, reggae, disco, rap and other music categories. The Beatles combined all kinds of fresh elements with rock and roll, especially the exploration and pursuit of music in the later period, which made rock and roll develop in a more free and casual artistic direction. Rock music has always had a close relationship with pop music in the future, and rock musicians are also proud of maintaining their unique personality.

　

Although business made the Beatles, it also laid the seeds for the dissolution of the band in the later period, and the invasion of music by business became a contradiction that musicians could never avoid. Almost all aspiring musicians are exploring how to maintain creative autonomy under the record industry system, and the balance between commercial mechanism and independent creation has become an eternal problem.

　At the auction held by Julien‘s Auctions in April this year, the manuscript of Hey Jude was sold for 910,000 dollars.

At 22: 49 on December 8, 1980, Lennon was shot dead by mark chapman, an American fanatical male fan who was said to be mentally ill, in front of his apartment in new york. He died at the age of 40. Today, people have not forgotten this band that was popular all over the world. At the auction held by Julien‘s Auctions in April this year, the manuscript of "Hey Jude" was sold at a sky-high price of 910,000 US dollars.

　

Although the Beatles finally had to disband, it seems to be part of their growth to find their own way out in the cracks. We see the Beatles in countless rock musicians, but rock music itself is getting softer and more peaceful. As people say, we have been living in a world without the Beatles ever since.

Sohu Entertainment feature (HAMA/Wen) has ended in 2022. Looking back at the film industry this year, many markets around the world are recovering after the epidemic. The recovery of the film market in most countries depends on the supply of Hollywood blockbusters. How the blockbusters of several major Hollywood studios sell determines the rise and fall of many markets.

However, there are some exceptions, such as China and Indian film markets. Although the global influence of local films is limited, in their domestic markets, local films have an overwhelming advantage, and Hollywood blockbusters can only be embellished. In Asian markets such as Japan and South Korea, local films also have their own characteristics, which are basically equal to Hollywood blockbusters.

Tom Cruise’s Top Gun 2 ranks first in the world.

In 2022, there were 18 movies in the United States with a global box office of more than 200 million dollars, among which the top ten movies were all IP sequels and restarts, including Top Gun 2, Avatar 2, Jurassic World 3’s Doctor Strange 2, Little Yellow Man’s Big Eyes 2, Panther 2, New Batman, Thor 4’s Fantastic Animals 3 and Sonik the Hedgehog 2.

Tom Cruise’s Top Gun 2 became the highest-grossing movie in 2022, with a North American box office of 719 million dollars and a global box office of 1,488.7 million dollars, which was a big profit compared with the production cost of 170 million dollars. However, on the box office list of film history, it only ranks 11th, which is far from the global box office of Avatar, the first movie, with 2.923 billion dollars.

Avatar 2 was released on December 16th, and the global cumulative box office has exceeded $1.1 billion. The final global box office of the film is expected to reach 1.5 billion yuan and 2 billion yuan, which is likely to surpass Top Gun 2 and become the real champion in 2022.

Hollywood studios prefer to shoot sequels and IP instead of originality, which is a realistic choice, because sequels and IP have low risk and high success rate, while original works are easy to rush to the street.

Among the top ten films at the global box office in 2022, except Fantastic Animals 3, all other films met or exceeded expectations. Theoretically, if the global box office of Hollywood blockbusters can reach more than three times the production cost, it is considered to be profitable.

The production cost of Fantastic Animals 3 is $200 million, and the global box office is $400 million. It is not qualified to return to this standard with three times the box office.

The other nine films all earned more than three times the global box office. Among them, the global box office of Top Gun 2 is 8.76 times the production cost, Jurassic Century 3 is 6.07 times the production cost, and Little Yellow Man with Big Eyes 2 is 11.74 times the production cost.

The sequels such as Jurassic Century 3 and Little Yellow Man with Big Eyes 2 are not as good as their predecessors, but it does not affect them to make money from box office, copyright, peripheral products, theme parks and other channels.

However, many original works failed, such as Warner Bros.’ Black Adam, which cost US$ 200 million, the global box office of US$ 391 million, Sony Pictures’ bullet train, which cost US$ 86 million, the global box office of US$ 239 million, Paramount’s Lost City, which cost US$ 74 million and the global box office of US$ 191 million.

Two China films rank among the top ten in the global box office list.

Let’s look at the China market globally.

China’s films are rarely popular overseas, with only a relatively small box office income. However, because China’s domestic market is large enough, some films can also occupy a high position in the global box office list in terms of US dollars.

According to the statistics of boxofficemojo, a North American box office website, the Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake is ranked ninth and tenth in the global box office list in 2022.

Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake earned 4.067 billion yuan in China, 117,300 dollars in North America and 626.6 million dollars in the world. The box office in China, Moon Man was 3.102 billion yuan, which was not shown in North America, and the global box office was 460 million dollars.

This kind of statistics has the problem of exchange rate changes. If the exchange rate of US$ 1 to RMB in 7 yuan is calculated, the box office of domestic films is not included in the net box office of the service fee of the ticketing platform. The global box office of Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake is about 537 million US dollars, the global box office of Moon Man is about 406 million US dollars, and the global box office of The Killer is not too quiet, Life Events and Returning to Wan Li are 343 million US dollars, 225 million US dollars and 208 million US dollars respectively, accounting for 50 million US dollars.

In recent years, China movies have been suppressed by Hollywood movies, shared the market with Hollywood movies, and occupied more and more market dominance. Among the top 20 movies at the box office in China in 2022, only Jurassic World 3’s Avatar 2 and League of Bad Guys ranked seventh, ninth and nineteenth respectively, and the others were all domestic films.

There is also an influence factor, that is, Hollywood blockbusters need quota and approval to enter China. In the past two years, Spider-Man: No Return of Heroes, Top Gun 2, Doctor Strange 2, Panther 2, Thor 4 Black Adam, Bullet Train and The Story of Light Year have not been introduced for release.

In the end, the box office of Chinese movies went backwards in 2022.

In 2020 and 2021, due to effective epidemic prevention and control, China surpassed North America and became the largest film market in the world.

In 2022, other countries in the world liberalized their control earlier, and people’s life returned to normal. However, the repeated prevention and control of the China epidemic made cinemas open and close, and many films were delayed in shooting, booking and release, resulting in the loss of audiences. The box office dropped to less than 30 billion yuan in the whole year, falling back to the level of 2014.

This year, the box office of movies in North America returned to the level of 64% in 2019 before the epidemic, while the box office in China only reached the level of 46% in 2019. The box office in North China was $7.266 billion, about 1.7 times that of.

Japanese, Korean and Indian films have their own strengths.

Looking at films in other major overseas markets, Japanese, Indian and Korean films all have their own strengths. According to the proportion of box office in normal years before the epidemic, Japan is the third largest ticket warehouse in the world, South Korea is the fifth largest ticket warehouse in the world and India is the seventh largest ticket warehouse in the world.

Japan’s IP animation sequel "Voyager: Geji with Red Hair" has a global box office of 174.5 million US dollars, of which, the domestic box office in Japan is 139 million US dollars, accounting for nearly 80%, and the other 20% is contributed by overseas markets.

Voyager: The Red-haired Song Ji has been shown in many overseas markets, such as North America, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Mexico, South Korea, Viet Nam, China, etc. Among them, the box office in North America is 12.78 million US dollars, accounting for 7.3% of the total box office in the world. Compared with China films, this overseas achievement is very outstanding.

In Japan, anime movies are usually the most popular, just as superhero movies are the best sellers in the United States.

In 2022, Voyager: Geji with Red Hair ranked first, Journey to the Bell Bud ranked third, Detective Conan: Bride of Halloween ranked fourth, and Slam Dunk ranked sixth, all of which were animation. The eighth place "King of the World 2" and the eleventh place "New Altman" are full-blown live-action movies.

The other five places in the top 10 of the box office list were reserved for Hollywood blockbusters Top Gun 2, Jurassic World 3, Spider-Man: No Return of Heroes, Fantastic Animals 3 and Little Yellow Man with Big Eyes 2.

South Korea’s performance in genre films has been outstanding in recent years. In 2022, Crime City 2, Helping Together 2: International, Hunting 6 are all action and crime genre films, Owlman 7 is a historical film, Witch 2 is a suspense crime action film, and the remaining major positions are occupied by Hollywood blockbusters.

Crime City 2 has a global box office of US$ 101 million, including US$ 99.77 million in South Korea and US$ 1.38 million overseas (including US$ 810,000 in North China). Like American movies, it mainly sells in the local market.

In the field of literary films, Japanese and Korean films have also been very strong in recent years. Li Cangdong’s Burning, Bong Joon ho’s Parasite, Ryūsuke Hamaguchi’s Driving My Car, Park Chan-wook’s Resolution to Break Up, Hirokazu Koreeda’s Broker, Sang-soo Hong’s Runaway Woman, Novelist’s Movie and In front of You have all attracted much attention at international film festivals.

The Indian market has always been dominated by domestic films, and Hollywood blockbusters are just embellishments.

In 2022, among the top 16 films in Indian box office, only three Hollywood films from Thor 4 ranked third, seventh and tenth respectively, and the others were all Indian films, including Coral Gold Mine 2, RRR, Brahma Artifact, Anti-drug Storm, Kashmir Archives, Godfather and Fauvism Agent.

The global box office of RRR was $102.7 million, including $81.54 million in India and $21.16 million overseas (including $11.11 million in North America).

RRR’s Hong Kong translation of Revolutionary Heroes is a fictional spectacle blockbuster with a historical theme. It tells the story of two Indian national heroes who fought against Britain under the British colonial background. Because it can arouse the patriotic feelings of the audience, it is described as "Indian version of Wolf Warriors".

The film was directed by S.S.Rajamouli, who made The Legend of the Warrior Burava, Kung Fu Fly and baahubali. baahubali once became a masterpiece in Indian film history and set a box office record because of its high investment, luxurious scenery, spectacular war scenes and unique national wonders. "RRR" once again won with luxury production.

Coral Gold Mine 2 and Brahma Artifact are also typical Indian blockbusters, focusing on action and special effects.

"Coral Gold Mine 2" has a global box office of 89.12 million US dollars, including 82.23 million US dollars in India, which is the local annual box office champion. The global box office of Brahma Artifact was 50.16 million yuan, including 38.31 million yuan in India.

Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Brazil and other major markets also have their own local films, but their ability to resist Hollywood blockbusters is far less than those of Asian markets such as China, India, Japan and South Korea, and their local films are also difficult to have global influence, and the presence of commercial films is not as strong as that of art films.

It is the only Olympic champion team in China’s "three big balls" event. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games is about to open. As the defending champion, head coach Lang Ping will lead China women’s volleyball team to attack the Olympic champion again!

Lineup: Lang Ping hopes that these 12 people are the best choice.

Regarding the formation of the list of 12 players, Lang Ping said: "This list has been brewing for a long time, and the whole coaching team is discussing what kind of suitable and complementary lineup should be used to appear in the Tokyo Olympic Games. I also hope that this list is our best choice, and I hope that these 12 athletes can represent all the athletes participating in the training and play their best level. "

Prepare for war: encourage each other to survive the hardest days.

In the 2019 Women’s Volleyball World Cup, Lang Ping led the team to successfully defend its title with an unbeaten record of 11 consecutive victories. This is the tenth championship won by China women’s volleyball team in the three world competitions (Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup), and it also laid a solid foundation for the upcoming Olympic defending tour.

However, due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Tokyo Olympic Games was forced to postpone, the FIVB also suspended all international competitions, and the China women’s volleyball team conducted training for seven months without an international competition. "In the most difficult days, we were completely enclosed, relying on each other’s support and companionship." Lang Ping said with emotion, "Thank you for your persistence and hard work. In the days when there was no competition at all and only boring training was left, we still encouraged each other and practiced every day as much as possible, helping our team gain valuable experience in a special period."

In May this year, the volleyball test match of Tokyo Olympic Games was restarted. As the only invited team, China women’s volleyball team played a test match with Japanese women’s volleyball team in Youming Gymnasium, the venue of Tokyo Olympic Games. In the end, China beat its opponent 3-0. This test match is of great value to China women’s volleyball team, which not only adapts to the Olympic venue in advance, but also makes the players who have not participated in international competitions for more than a year find their feelings on the field.

At the end of May, the 2021 World Women’s Volleyball League was held in Rimini, Italy in the form of "safety bubble". China women’s volleyball team sent a substitute team to participate in the first stage of the competition. Although the team only achieved 4 wins and 5 losses, more substitute players got the opportunity to play, which also made the coaching staff have a greater grasp of the choice of the Olympic list. After 9 matches, the six main players of China women’s volleyball team returned to the team. In the following 6 matches, the China team won a total victory even against Italian, Russian and American teams. Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, Gong Xiangyu, Ding Xia and other main players are in a stable state, which also makes fans have more expectations for the upcoming Olympic journey of China women’s volleyball team.

Playing: After waiting for five years, we are ready.

According to the rules, the 12 women’s volleyball teams participating in the Tokyo Olympic Games were divided into two groups, with 6 teams in each group playing 5 round robin matches. The top four teams in the group entered the quarterfinals, and finally decided the champion by eliminating the competition system.

In the latest world ranking of women’s volleyball, the United States tops the list, followed by China and Brazil. The fourth to tenth places are Turkey, Japan, Dominica, Russia, Netherlands, Italy and Belgium. At the Tokyo Olympics, China was in Group B with the United States, Russia, Italy, Argentina and Turkey.

On July 25th, China will make its debut at the Tokyo Olympic Games, against the Turkish team. As a European team with rapid rising momentum in recent years, the Turkish team has considerable strength. At the World Women’s Volleyball League which ended last month, China sent a substitute team to play and lost 3-0 to the Turkish team. At the Tokyo Olympic Games, it was not a big problem for the China team to get off to a good start.

On June 20th, 2021, in the preliminaries of the 2021 World Women’s Volleyball League held in Rimini, Italy, China beat the United States 3-0. The picture shows China player Yan Ni (first from left) blocking the ball in the game. Xinhua news agency

For China, the first real test of this Olympic Games is the game against the United States on July 27th. Since the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China women’s volleyball team has lost to its opponents in three consecutive Olympic Games. This American team in Tokyo Olympic Games has many excellent players, such as Larson, Bucky, Robinson, Akinradewo and Poulter, and its strength is good. This year’s World Women’s Volleyball League,The United States defeated Brazil 3-1 in the final to win three consecutive championships. Although it lost 3-0 to China in the last game of the preliminary round, the United States, which won 14 consecutive victories at that time, had ensured the qualification, so it did not send its main force to play. In the group competition of Tokyo Olympic Games, it was China who defeated the American team.teamThe first important goal.

China will play Russian, Italian and Argentine teams in the next three group matches. In recent years, the main players of the Italian women’s volleyball team have gradually matured, especially Egnu, who has strong strength, strong explosive force and extremely lethal re-buckle. How to restrain Egnu’s play is a problem that China women’s volleyball team must solve. Russia sent a number of young players to the Olympic Games this time. The absence of famous players such as Kosheleva, Parubetz and Romanova greatly reduced the strength of the team. In the last two games of the group stage, it was believed that China women’s volleyball team would achieve satisfactory results against Russia and Argentina, which ranked 16th in the world.

In addition to the opponents in the group stage, Serbian women’s volleyball team may pose a threat to China women’s volleyball team in the knockout stage. In the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, China women’s volleyball team defeated its opponent in the final, and reached the Olympic champion podium after a lapse of 12 years. During the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the main lineup of Serbian team has not changed much. Boskovich, Ogennovic, mikhailovich, Lasic and S Popovich will all play in the Tokyo Olympic Games. At the same time, Kosic, lazovic and Caric, who have performed well in this year’s World Women’s Volleyball League, have also been successfully selected. As the champion of the 2018 World Championships, Serbian women’s volleyball team will be one of the strong opponents of China women’s volleyball team.

On July 19th, China women’s volleyball team successfully arrived in Tokyo. "I am very excited to come to Tokyo this time. We are ready, because we have waited for five years, and the time is quite long. Finally, we have the opportunity to embark on the journey of the Olympic Games, and the team is in good shape. Our goal is to attack medals and fight one by one. The Olympic Games is different from the usual leagues. Every game is very difficult. We will go all out and hope to play the best level and win glory for our country. " As Lang Ping said, the defending champion China women’s volleyball team is ready!

The Chinese baseball team lost to the Czech team 5-8.

Young and fearless, the China men’s baseball team "sent" a home run to the world’s number one Japanese team on its first show back on the world stage; But also because of their youth, China men’s baseball players tasted the bitterness of being "reversed" after 12 hours.

On March 10th, in Tokyo Dome Gymnasium, the second round of the 5th world baseball classic (hereinafter referred to as WBC) Group B continued. After nearly four hours of fighting, the Chinese baseball team finally lost to the Czech team 5-8, and suffered two consecutive defeats.

"It was a difficult game and it was hard to accept the result of losing." As Dean, the 75-year-old coach of China team, said, China fell to the last moment in the twists and turns, and lost to a team that was all unprofessional players. "Today was a memorable victory, but we lost the victory."

However, in Dean’s view, these young China players must "pay tuition fees" when they grow up. "You can regret it today, but after waking up, you must go all out for the next game."

The Chinese baseball team is one step away from victory.

The outcome was in an instant, and the China flag was seen on the field.

"Today, I saw the flag of China in the stadium. I don’t know if they are really China fans, but they gave us encouragement." After the game, China coach Dean felt this way.

For China, the WBC schedule is not easy.

After five years, he returned to the stage of the world’s top baseball game, and fought with the Japanese team for four hours in the first game amid the clamor of more than 46,000 Japanese fans. Then, after only 12 hours of adjustment, they stood in front of the Czech team in the first round.

Although coach Dean and his team made special arrangements for personnel rotation, and saved several main players for the second game, judging from the opening situation of the second game, the China team did not completely get out of the fatigue of the first stop.

The Czech team, which took the lead in attacking, hit hits continuously in the first half of the first inning, and scored 2 points first, while Zhao Fuyang, the starting pitcher that coach Dean specially reserved for this game, failed to enter the state. The 23-year-old young pitcher was replaced by Dean after only throwing 1 2/3 innings.

In the third game, the Czech team hit another home run, expanding the difference to 3 points.

On the one hand, the Czech Republic made great strides in line-playing, and on the other hand, China’s line-playing was slow to find its state. Until the second half of the fifth inning, China’s hits were still zero.

However, the Czech pitchers also made mistakes, throwing four balls to give China a point.

With a 1-4 deficit, China entered the offensive game in the second half of the seventh game. At this critical moment, Zhang Baoshu, a 39-year-old veteran who participated in WBC four times, became the key player to turn the situation around.

His double hit brought vitality to China’s bench, and then he stole the base and went to third base. Then, China’s Kou Yongkang and Luo Jinjun hit hits one after another. Under the pressure of China, the Czech pitcher and first baseman also made frequent mistakes. China pulled back four points with four hits, reversing the score from 1 to 4 to 5 to 4.

At that moment, the players on the bench of China team walked on the sidelines together to celebrate with the players who scored.

The Chinese baseball team once reversed the score.

However, the charm and cruelty of competitive sports lies in its unpredictability.

After both sides drew a blank in the eighth inning, after China pitcher Gong Haicheng put the Czechs on base in the first half of the ninth inning, coach Dean sent Zhu Quan, the "end pitcher"-but it was this substitution that made the Czechs hit a 3-point home run.

That is, this hit completely changed the atmosphere on the court-then, the Czech team scored another point with two hits in succession, realizing the reversal.

"Zhu Quan did very well in the bullpen, and he held the ball well. He said he was in good shape. My misjudgment was that the first game didn’t go as we expected. This led to the final result. "

Dean also put the blame on his own tactical arrangement when he resumed the defeat. "Maybe it would be better to use Zhu Quan at the beginning of the ninth inning, but Gong Haicheng showed his fighting spirit, but he felt a little tired later, so he gave his opponent four balls, which had to be said, which had an impact on the result."

"Our pitching lineup is too weak." After resuming the turning point of the whole game, coach Dean said something he said after the first game.

But Dean also said: "China social networks and media have given us positive comments, and Japanese media have also given us a lot of enthusiastic encouragement. The final result is regrettable, but we also showed what China can do. "

Many people in the Czech baseball team are not professional players.

Respectable opponents, they are amateurs.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Baoshu, a 39-year-old "four-dynasty veteran" who sounded the counterattack horn for China in this game, and Zhu Quan, the "end pitcher" who was finally robbed by his opponent, are both newcomers of China in this WBC.

According to the rules of the WBC Classic, as long as the player goes back three generations and one member of his family is of China nationality, he can represent China.

Because of this, including Zhang Baoshu, Korean professional baseball pitcher Zhu Quan, Angel Little League pitcher Alan Carter and the professional outfielder Shinsha Yongsuke of the day before yesterday all put on the shirts of the China team.

However, compared with the professional players recruited by China for this WBC, the Czech team, which defeated China in the last minute, is composed of a group of "non-professional" players.

According to the reporter from The Paper, except for a few players who play in NCAA or local schools in Czech Republic, other players have their own formal jobs, some are teachers, some are firefighters, some are stock traders, and some are company bosses.

"They all have their own jobs, just because they love them and then take out their spare time to actively train." The relevant person in charge of the Czech baseball association revealed.

"In fact, not many people in the Czech Republic know that we still have such a baseball team, but we have stood on the best baseball stage in the world and we have been sponsored."

Czech baseball team.

Compared with the young China team and the young players who are all professional players, Czech players are not only "unprofessional" but most of them are over 30 years old. But it was such a group of players who persisted to the end and made a 4-0 wave in the first half of the ninth inning, completing the reversal.

"I learned about the history of Czech baseball before the game. Their story is very touching. We once overtook, but we didn’t expect to lose four points in the ninth inning. "

As coach Dean said, young players in China should learn from these "non-professional" players in the Czech Republic-although they often make mistakes, their calm mentality and stable play at critical moments are the key factors to turn the situation around.

"There are still two games left. Although I lost today, I am proud of the efforts of our players." As coach Dean said, these players have the opportunity to become the future of China baseball, but only if they can learn and grow in failure. "

"I hope they can be full of strength in the future to face the future."

Li Jianguo, general manager of Midea Building Technology Elevator Company, used the human body as a metaphor to introduce the technical points of Digital Elevator: "For example, the application of AI graphic image recognition, voice acquisition technology, new infrared, millimeter wave and other human perception technology sensors, laser ranging technology, etc. is to improve the perception ability of the elevator; The application of CPU chips with higher computing power, big data analysis, artificial intelligence, deep learning, neural network and other technologies improves the calculation and analysis ability of the algorithm, which makes the elevator smarter and smarter. " It is understood that before leaving the factory, every LINVOL elevator has to undergo a total of 513 quality tests of the whole elevator and its components, such as performance, protection, structure and function. The mechanical safety protection system is combined with the electrical safety protection design, and eight safety devices, such as emergency braking system, door interlock and speed limiter, are adopted to prevent elevator accidents to the maximum extent. On the software side, we can monitor the elevator’s operation status in real time through big data and Internet of Things technology, analyze the elevator’s operation status in time through big data logic algorithm, and transmit it to the elevator management platform through the network for intelligent analysis and preventive maintenance. In addition, Midea is equipped with AI, sensors and Internet of Things technologies for every digital elevator. The camera of AI can automatically identify dangerous goods and dangerous ladder riding behaviors, and initiate corresponding measures to prevent problems before they happen. As a part of the building, intelligent elevator can also improve the operation efficiency of the building. Li Jianguo introduced,The digital platform of iBUILDING in UILDING can automatically identify passengers’ identity information through the elevator eye system, and automatically guide people on nearby floors to take a ride by robot dispatch, so that passengers can be sent to the destination floor without button contact. "It turns out that the elevator stops in the middle during the peak period of use, and the single running time is long; Now, through a series of algorithms and digital intelligent applications, the single running time of the elevator can be shortened, running more times, and delivering more people to the destination floor. " At the same time, the intelligent passenger flow analysis system can also realize the priority of dispatching elevators on peak floors, shorten the operation efficiency of elevators by about 2/3, improve the comfort, and at the same time effectively reduce energy consumption, save energy and reduce carbon.codaBorrow a passage from A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens as the conclusion of this article: This is the best time and this is the worst time; This is the age of wisdom, this is the age of stupidity; This is the period of faith, this is the period of doubt; This is a bright season; This is the dark season; This is the spring of hope, and this is the winter of disappointment … Although the rivers and lakes of elevators in China are still under the feast of foreign investment, I believe that with time, domestic elevator brands will surely rise against the trend and flourish in the wind! Each platform has the same name. If you like our story, please share, collect and forward it.
