[Editor’s Note] Metauniverse, whose English name is Metaverse, originated from the sci-fi novel Avalanche, will shine brilliantly in 2021: from NVIDIA’s Lao Huang to Facebook’s Xiaozha, and then to Baidu, Netease and Tencent in China, Internet giants will occupy positions one after another. Is the first year of the meta-universe here?

By interviewing experts, practitioners and analysts in the industry, The Paper analyzed the "past lives" of the Meta-Universe, and explored Xiao He’s emerging Meta-Universe industrial chain and investment opportunities.

"An exciting opportunity is coming. The mobile Internet has developed for ten years and is about to usher in the next wave of upgrades. We call it the all-true Internet."

This is the end of 2020, Chairman and CEO of Tencent Ma Huateng issued a document in Tencent’s internal publications. At that time, the concept of the meta-universe was not popular, but now this sentence is quoted by many people because of the explosion of the meta-universe.

The concept of meta-universe has become popular, and domestic Internet technology companies are also accelerating their entry. Netease’s "Yaotai", Baidu’s "Xirang", Ali set up XR Lab, ByteDance acquired Pico to make up for the hardware shortcomings, and Tencent is investing in related companies. It is also paying attention to related technologies to build a larger digital scene …

According to the data from Tianyancha, as of December 30, 2021, there have been over 12,000 trademark applications with the name "Meta Universe" in China. The related trademark applicants include Tencent, Netease, Baidu and other famous enterprises in SAIC, Mixue Ice City, Shuanghui, Hisense and Foxconn.

Why are they all laying out the metauniverse? Essence Securities pointed out in its research report that the Metauniverse is still in the early stage of development, and every move of technology companies will not only contribute to maintaining their existing industry position, but also jointly shape the final form of the Metauniverse through their own efforts.

However, the People’s Daily once pointed out that it takes time to promote the new concept and its industry to mature gradually, and it needs to be down-to-earth and lay a solid foundation for development to lead to the fascinating technological future. Just like virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) or mixed reality (MR), the head word is "reality", which also indicates that without the support of reality, it will be a mirage.

What is the progress of domestic internet giants in the meta-universe? How is it laid out?

Tencent: Invest or acquire industrial chain companies.

Compared with other internet companies in China, Tencent seems to have entered the meta-universe earlier.

Judging from the investment situation, in February 2020, Tencent participated in Roblox’s $150 million G round of financing. In March 2021, Roblox successfully landed on the New York Stock Exchange, and its market value on the first day of listing broke 40 billion US dollars, which was called "the first share in the meta-universe". In addition, Tencent also invested in Epic Games, the game developer of Fortress Night, holding 40% of its shares. In April, 2021, Epic Games raised $1 billion for the development of business related to Meta-Universe, setting a record for the highest financing of Meta-Universe circuit at that time.

On January 10th, 2022, The Paper reporter learned from people familiar with the matter that Tencent planned to acquire Black Shark Technology ("Xiaomi Company"), a domestic game mobile phone company. According to media reports, the acquisition has been recognized by Xiaomi’s top management. In terms of the purchase price, Black Shark Technology and Tencent conducted relevant negotiations: Black Shark was valued at 3 billion yuan, and Tencent cut it to about 2.6 to 2.7 billion yuan.

Roblox, invested by Tencent, has successfully landed on NYSE.

The Paper reporter found that since September, 2021, Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has 99 pieces of trademark information about Meta Universe, such as "QQ Meta Universe", "Magic Nuclear Meta Universe" and "Peaceful Elite Meta Universe", and all the trademark applications are in the stage of "waiting for substantive examination".

Talking about technologies related to the Meta-Universe, Li Congbing, deputy general manager of the R&D Efficiency Department of Tencent Mutual Entertainment, said in an interview with The Paper that Tencent is paying attention to technologies related to building a larger digital scene. "Including PCG (Procedural Content Generation Technology), AI-based NPC interaction, and real-time rendering capabilities, we are all paying attention."　

Li Congbing said that everyone has different perceptions of the meta-universe, and not only one user platform can be called the "meta-universe". "In our view, games are more about building virtual spaces and scenes that are more realistic and closer to the ideal state, and our technology is also around this direction. But to say what the meta-universe is like, whether it is to copy the reality in the virtual world or simply refer to a virtual world, I don’t think there is a clear form that can be made clear. "　

He told the The Paper that the technical problem that the Metauniverse needs to break through most at present is whether it can provide immersive interaction and experience. "Immersive equipment, technology and experience are the threshold for the real industrialization of the meta-universe."　

Deng Dafu, deputy general manager of Tencent Mutual Entertainment R&D Efficiency Department, believes that the Metauniverse has two opportunities in the industry: first, the Metauniverse will produce a lot of three-dimensional content, but the three-dimensional world needs high-yield 3D production capabilities, which is still a very big challenge for the current technical capabilities.　

Secondly, the development of artificial intelligence industry. He mentioned that although everyone is talking about the meta-universe at present, it is impossible for digital people to realize intelligent dialogue, drive behavior and explore the world like westworld, and a partial breakthrough has been made in technology. "But how to truly integrate them is a topic that we have been thinking about."　

Another industry closely related to the metauniverse is VR and AR. In this regard, Zou Haochuan, director of business strategy of Tencent’s new experience and technology department, believes that VR and AR industries will develop rapidly in the future. "In the past, we used game consoles, computers and mobile phones, and the society experienced the stage of dual internet. Starting from VR, we will enter the stage of 3D Internet, which is an inevitable trend of technological development. "　

Tencent is also exploring the technology of "digital man". In the process of "digital and real integration" (the integration of digital economy and real economy), digital man is an important basic technology module. In 2018, NExT Studios, a studio owned by Tencent, developed Siren Sai Ren, a high-fidelity real-time digital person, which greatly restored the image of the real person and could use emotions to drive facial expressions and body movements.　

"In the future, with the continuous development of new technologies, the technical threshold and cost of digital virtual people will be greatly reduced, and virtual people will be applied to a wider range of spaces and fields and truly become a part of daily life." Andy, vice president of Tencent Interactive Entertainment, said.　

Zou Haochuan revealed that Tencent has formed a set of standard digital life production processes, combined with computer graphics and deep learning technology, hoping to break through the boundaries of the game industry in the future and apply simulated digital people to all walks of life. He said that at present, Tencent has cooperated with Epic Games, a well-known game manufacturer, to precipitate the technology of digital people into Unreal Engine, so as to develop the application of digital people in industries other than games. "Only the trinity of hardware, technology and software content technology can really promote the industry."

Generally speaking, Tencent is considered to be a relatively comprehensive company in the layout of the meta-universe because of its relatively complete territory in the fields of social interaction, games and film live broadcast.

Essence Securities also mentioned in the research report that the foreign media Not Boring has produced a complete industrial map of Tencent Metauniverse, which is supported by the game channel+engine Epic, including game development platforms such as Roblox, League of Legends, Night of Fortress, My World, and live broadcast communities such as twitch, Discord, and Betta Tiger’s Teeth; Pinduoduo, Shopee and other e-commerce channels; Zoom, Tencent conference and other remote office software.

Baidu: to be the infrastructure platform of the meta-universe

The related products of the Meta-Universe are gradually coming to the ground, even if they are just embryonic forms.

Among B (Baidu) A (Ali) T (Tencent), Baidu was the first to launch the meta-cosmic product, and the first domestic meta-cosmic product "Xirang" App officially launched on December 27, 2021 earned enough attention. Li Yanhong, founder, chairman and CEO of Baidu, commented: "Our way of gathering is both dreamy and realistic."

Although "Xirang" has evolved three times since March, 2021, users still have many regrets.

Screenshot of Xirang App, there are still many shortcomings in the user experience.

According to the World Wide Web report, Zhou Hongyi, the founder of 360, recently laughed when talking about Baidu’s meta-cosmic product "Xirang", saying that pepper had already been done, but it was not particularly successful. It is not difficult to build a virtual scene, and it is not difficult for virtual characters to broadcast live, but it is difficult to last.

The Paper reporter understands that the "Xirang" project was launched as early as December 2020, and Baidu hopes to build a prototype of the metauniverse that can be touched, experienced and promoted. According to Ma Jie, vice president of Baidu and head of Hirang, "Hirang" is a metacosmic product with negative version 6.0. It will not be perfect until six years later, and then it will be officially launched.

Regarding what "Xirang" will eventually look like, Ma Jie said: "None of us know what it will look like. This is precisely its greatest charm, but we know it should be beautiful."

At this stage, why is the metauniverse difficult to realize? At the media communication meeting before the release of "Xirang", Ma Jie said that under the current network technology conditions, vision, hearing and interaction are the three mountains that hinder the development of the metauniverse, and the technical difficulty brings great challenges. The path to solve the metauniverse problem needs to break through a series of technical bottlenecks and need the support of strong basic technical capabilities. These key technologies include: secure, autonomous and intelligent cloud computing technology; Continuous innovation in the fields of artificial intelligence, ARM cloud, edge computing, intelligent video, VR and AR; Construction of content ecology and huge market base.

Hou Zhenyu, senior vice president of Baidu, said that computing is the underlying foundation of the metauniverse, and the demand for computing power in the metauniverse is almost endless.

According to Baidu’s development logic in the meta-universe, it hopes to become the infrastructure platform of the meta-universe, and provide AI, cloud computing and other technical engines for "Xirang" and other meta-universe products. For example, according to Baidu, the distributed cloud in Baidu AI Cloud can support users of the metauniverse to access it anytime and anywhere, and the "Xirang World" uses a lot of edge computing node resources distributed everywhere.

"Combining the most advanced AI, cloud computing and VR technologies in the industry, the ultimate goal of Xirang is to create a platform for our partners and developers, a platform that allows imagination to take root. In this second human space, which is about to be parallel to the real world, we also look forward to its infinite possibilities and ultimately carry the bright future of High Tech-Better Life. " Ma Jie said.

The hope of Baidu’s propaganda

Tianyancha App shows that since October 2021, Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. has applied for a number of trademarks related to the meta-universe, involving the fields of APP and maps. Among them, 3 trademarks of META MAPS are invalid, 1 trademark of METAAPP is invalid, 2 trademarks of METAAPP are awaiting substantive examination, and 6 trademarks of META MAP are awaiting substantive examination.

Ali: Set up a laboratory for AR, VR and Metauniverse.

Ali is also laying out the metauniverse in a low-key way.

On December 28th, 2021, Alibaba Dharma Institute released the top ten scientific and technological trends in 2022. This is the top ten scientific and technological trends that Dharma Institute analyzed 7.7 million public papers and 85,000 patents in the past three years, interviewed nearly 100 scientists in depth, and put forward that 2022 may shine into reality, covering artificial intelligence, chips, computing and communication.

The "meta-universe" of the fire did not appear in the top ten scientific and technological trends in 2022, but Alibaba Dharma Institute put forward the trend of "XR Internet". It is predicted that in the next three years, a new generation of XR glasses with a shape and weight close to ordinary glasses will be produced and become the key entrance to the next generation of Internet.

At the Alibaba Cloud Habitat Congress in 2021, Alibaba Dharma Institute announced the addition of two laboratories, of which XR Laboratory is a new laboratory facing the direction of AR, VR and Metauniverse.

Tan Ping, head of XR Laboratory of Alibaba Dharma Institute, said at Yunqi Conference: "AR and VR glasses are the next generation mobile computing platforms that will be popularized soon, and new display and interaction based on new computing platforms are the essence of the meta-universe. The scope of the metauniverse is very broad, including social, e-commerce, education, games, payment and other fields. Various applications in the mobile Internet era will all produce new presentation methods in the metauniverse. "

Tan Ping believes that the technology of the future "virtual world" can be divided into four levels. The first layer is holographic construction, which uses triangular mesh to build the appearance of the whole world and display it on the terminal to create an immersive experience. The second layer is holographic simulation, which makes the virtual world infinitely close to the real world. The combination of these two layers of technology can realize the virtual world in VR glasses. The third layer is the fusion of reality and reality, which makes the virtual world and the real world merge. The fourth layer is the linkage between reality and reality, and the change of virtual world can correspond to the real world.

According to the reporter from The Paper, the research direction of XR Lab is three-dimensional modeling of objects and people, highly realistic rendering, natural human-computer interaction, large-scale scene mapping and positioning, and robot grasping and manipulation. Products and applications include holographic shops, AR parallel worlds and IDC intelligent operation and maintenance robots.

In addition, the main body of Alibaba’s cloud game business unit "Yuan Jing Sheng Sheng" has also landed, or it is Ali’s further layout in the field of meta-cosmic games.

Tianyancha App shows that on December 6, 2021, Yuanjing Shengsheng (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. was established, with 100% shareholding by Hangzhou Ali Venture Capital Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 10 million RMB. Some insiders of Ali revealed to the media that the company’s future business is related to the meta-universe.

In terms of trademark application, in September 2021, Alibaba Singapore Holdings Co., Ltd. applied for the registration of trademarks such as "Ali Yuan Universe" and "Taobao Yuan Universe". At present, the trademark status is pending substantive examination.

Regarding the Metauniverse, Essence Securities pointed out in its research report in December 2021 that Alibaba has a first-Mover advantage in the layout of the underlying infrastructure cloud computing in the Metauniverse. In addition, relying on rich e-commerce scenarios, Ali can pay attention to its progress in reappearing e-commerce and marketing scenarios in the meta-universe in the future.

Netease: To Promote the Full Link Exploration of Metauniverse

Netease said that the concept product of the meta-universe has landed.

In November, 2021, Ding Lei, founder and CEO of Netease, said at the company’s third quarter financial report meeting that the metauniverse is a very hot concept, but no one has touched the metauniverse at present. Netease is ready for the technologies and rules related to the meta-universe. "We believe that on the day when the meta-universe really comes, Netease has the ability to run quickly."

Ding Lei said that Netease has always attached great importance to R&D investment based on diversified products and users’ needs. After long-term technical accumulation, it has a world-leading technical reserve in the fields related to metauniverse such as VR, AR, artificial intelligence, engine, cloud games and blockchain, and is fully equipped with the technology and ability to explore and develop metauniverse.

He mentioned that Netease has already launched products such as Yaotai immersive activity system, virtual human, planet blockchain and other meta-universe concepts, and invested in a number of innovative companies in the field of virtual human to promote the full link exploration of the meta-universe from front-end research and development to terminal business scenarios. In the future, Netease will also deeply integrate its exploration experience, technological advantages and innovation models with real user needs and industrial needs, and continue to pay attention to and increase investment in research and development, so that the Metauniverse can truly move from concept to application and effectively create value for society.

On December 2nd, Netease Cloud Music landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In Netease Fuxi’s immersive activity system "Yaotai", Ding Lei’s "avatar" three people completed the "meta-universe" gong. Netease said that this is the world’s first "meta-universe" listing ceremony. The so-called three "Ding Lei", one is Ding Lei himself, who knocks gongs in an offline ceremony, and the other two are AI virtual people "Ding Lei", who are respectively portrayed as Ding Lei, aged 29 in 2000, and Ding Lei, aged 50 in 2021.

Netease’s layout in the meta-universe does not stop there.

On December 25, 2021, Netease signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Sanya municipal government, and Netease will set up its Hainan headquarters in Sanya to build the Netease Meta-Universe Industrial Base project. In addition, the two sides will deepen cooperation in the fields of interactive entertainment, e-sports, music culture, e-commerce live broadcast and online education.

Tianyancha App shows that in October 2021, many Netease affiliated companies such as Hangzhou Netease Leihuo Technology Co., Ltd., Netease (Hangzhou) Network Co., Ltd. and Guangzhou Netease Computer System Co., Ltd. applied for registration of trademarks such as Netease Meta Universe, Leihuo Meta Universe and Fuxi Meta Universe, and the trademark status was awaiting substantive examination.

ByteDance: Acquisition+Self-research Layout Metauniverse

In August, 2021, Pico, a VR startup, issued an internal letter confirming that the company was acquired by ByteDance.

Open source securities believes that with the rise of the concept of "meta-universe", Internet industry giants and head game companies began to compete for opportunities. As an important part of ByteDance’s territory expansion, Pico will be merged into VR business line, integrating byte content resources and technical capabilities. ByteDance’s acquisition of Pico will have a great impact on the dormant domestic VR field.

Pico products acquired by ByteDance.

Essence Securities pointed out that Tencent and ByteDance are the two companies with the smoothest meta-cosmic logic in China. Under the guidance of "capital+flow" strategy, Tencent focuses on acquisition rather than natural innovation, so as to comprehensively lay out the meta-universe. ByteDance is more radical. In order to complement the "social" gene, he adopts the All In method of acquisition and self-research.

According to the research report, at present, in terms of hardware and operating system, ByteDance has acquired Pico to make up for the hardware shortcomings. In terms of the underlying architecture, Gankun, a developer of physical engine, is invested, and its youth UGC platform "Restart the World" is highly similar to "Roblox". Acquisition of end-to-end live broadcast solution provider Weijing Video, providing VR end-to-end live broadcast/on-demand solutions based on core technologies. In terms of content and scenes, today’s headlines, Tik Tok, Watermelon Video, Tik Tok, Faceu Sprout, Flying Book, Picture Worm and other product matrices cover more than 150 countries and regions around the world, and the traffic is global.

 

  Folding screen has become another innovative attempt of notebook computer terminal form.

    "After opening and closing, the screen is flat as a mirror, and the picture seems to flow with a three-dimensional effect. The virtual keyboard on the screen is smooth to touch, and it can be presented in different forms such as book, computer, flat and upright …" At the new display innovation exhibition of the 2022 World Display Industry Conference, the reporter’s eyes were attracted by the first 17.3-inch ultra-large folding OLED notebook product exhibited by BOE, which brought more shock than the folding screen mobile phone.

    Folding screen notebook computer is not only another milestone product in the field of flexible OLED display, but also another innovative attempt in the form of notebook computer terminal, which brings more interaction possibilities for office and entertainment. Since Lenovo launched its new products in 2020, and Lenovo updated its second-generation products and ASUS launched its new products in the second half of this year, the popularity of folding screen notebook computers has been rising. Whether this category that breaks the boundary of vision is a dazzling enterprise skill or a long-term layout with profound meaning is unknown, but the era of folding large-screen display is accelerating.

    Folding into the era of big screen

    In October 2020, Lenovo officially released the ThinkPad X1 Fold, the world’s first notebook computer with folding screen, which was quite epoch-making at that time when the folding screen mobile phone had not yet opened the market. The folding screen of this product is made up of five layers of screens stacked, and with the hinge design of folding shaft, it has passed the durability test of opening and closing for more than 30 thousand times.

    In October this year, Lenovo released a new ThinkPad X1 Fold 2022 product. Compared with the first generation product, the biggest change this time is the use of a drop-shaped structural hinge design. Through the movable inner and outer double-layer skeleton design, the shear stress generated by the cross section during folding is greatly offset, so that the screen can still be kept as flat as a mirror after repeated opening and closing. It also achieved "evolution" in the thickness of the fuselage, which was only 17.4mm thick after folding.

    However, the folding screen notebook computer product is not exclusive to Lenovo. Asustek also launched a folding screen notebook Zenbook 17 Fold on August 31 this year. From the product form, there is not much difference between Lenovo and Asustek’s folding screen. The main difference is the screen size, folding form, hinge and other details. Subsequently, ASUS released the Lingyao X Fold product at the autumn new product launch conference in September. The 17.3-inch flexible OLED screen can be bent from the middle to two 12.5-inch screens, and the 180 precision hinge design supports free hovering, which can realize 6 kinds of use forms. The fuselage is as light as about 1.5kg, and the thinnest part is about 8.7 mm. Plus the folding ability, it can be easily carried in a bag.

    At present, the price of the above products is about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. It is reported that Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Samsung are also increasing research and development, and Apple is also paying attention to the research and development of 20-inch folding screen notebook computers, which proves that head manufacturers are optimistic about the folding screen notebook computer market.

    Canalys, a market research organization, told reporters that there are few participants in the market now, but the equipment available has proved to be reliable. Folding screens are expected to increase dramatically in the next few years. The main driving factors behind the development of such devices are that people tend to use larger screens, and people constantly switch tasks and roles during work and leisure. Folding screen laptops make people not have to switch back and forth between different tools.

    The development of folding morphology is relatively slow.

    Different from the problem of screen creases that people were most concerned about at first, notebook computer products have larger screen size, wider rotating shaft and larger bending radius in the folded state, and the technology is gradually mature, so the problem of screen creases is not the most obvious.

    The reporter learned that the 17.3-inch flexible OLED screen of ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold has a bending radius as low as 5mm, which ensures that the screen is light and thin, and makes the screen flat as a mirror in the unfolded state. The screen adopts a new generation of composite cover plate solution, which improves the mechanical properties of the screen, greatly improves the impact resistance of the screen while taking into account the size upgrade, and makes the durability get a breakthrough upgrade. At the same time, in terms of screen performance, the screen ratio is as high as 95.87%, which supports touch mode and is compatible with active pen function.

    Even though the technology of folding screen mobile phone has been polished, the folding screen technology used in notebook computers has taken a little detour, but the challenge of low yield and high cost still exists.

    Li Yaxuan, research director of IT Division of Sigma Intell, told reporters that the development of folding forms in notebook computers is still very slow, the market scale is very small, and the market penetration rate is only 0.02%. Looking forward to the future, folding screens will continue to develop in the medium-sized market, but it is estimated that by 2025, the penetration rate of folding screens in the notebook computer market will only reach 0.12%.

    It can be seen that although the main brands continue to lay out folding screen notebook computer products, folding screen products are still difficult to become an important development direction in the short to medium term, and most of them are concept products or limited products.

    Folding still has a long way to go.

    The reporter summarized the feelings of buyers and experiencers of folding screen notebook computers, and found that people agreed that folding screen design is indeed a path worth exploring, but there is still room for improvement in system stability and functional adaptation of different folding forms, and there is still a need to create bright spots in product volume, battery life, performance and portability.

    Canalys, a market research organization, believes that folding screen notebook computers need to go through a development process, such as the adaptation of unconventional screen keyboards, the design of new screen hinges, more mature customized new operating systems, multi-tasking functions, CPU and GPU performance, and longer battery life. In addition, how the traditional software and operating system match these devices in different usage modes, and whether the devices can be seamlessly switched between different modes.

    "Project Athena" is another major project for notebook evolution announced by Intel after "Ultrabook", which will guide a new round of changes in the notebook computer industry in the next few years, and the direction of changes is mainly reflected in six dimensions: immediate response, performance and responsiveness, artificial intelligence performance, battery life, connectivity and shape design.

    According to the industry, the "Athena Project" included folding screen laptops and began to manufacture chips specially designed for these devices. The reporter learned that Intel has recently introduced the Hybrid Lakefield processor suitable for folding screen notebook computers. By stacking memory, CPU and graphics chips with each other, these chips are provided in smaller packages, so that manufacturers can design equipment with smaller and more interesting shapes.

    In addition, Microsoft is developing its Windows 10X operating system to run seamlessly on dual-screen computers and folding-screen laptops.

    Chen Shuxin, assistant research director of IDC China, told reporters that in the short term, the use scenarios and corresponding crowds of folding screen notebook computers are still relatively few, and the price is relatively high, which is still in the testing stage, but it can give consideration to portability and large screen, and there is still a certain development prospect in the future, mainly relying on the exploration of future use scenarios, the price can be lowered, the interaction of folding screens and software problems, and there is still a long way to go.

Editor’s note:The official website of china food and drug administration recently released four batches of 20 food and drug rumors. The summary release content includes the rumor content, rumor propagation track, media rumors and the harm of rumors.

The rumors released by the Food and Drug Administration in recent days are closely related to people’s lives, and some rumors are still "undiminished" on the Internet. These rumors cover meat, fruits, beverages, vegetables, cooking oil, tea and other food categories, showing three major characteristics: "Carcinogenesis" has become a common vocabulary for rumor makers to "package" rumors, and chlorine in microwave ovens, milk, Houttuynia cordata Thunb and tap water has been labeled as "Carcinogenic"; In seasonal seasons, watermelons, cucumbers, persimmons, dates and other fruits and vegetables often "lie down" innocently. During the hot season, rumors such as "watermelon injection" and "rootless bean sprouts are poisonous" will resurface; Shrimp, crab, chicken and other meat foods are often spread wildly on the Internet by rumors, and many versions are generated. [detailed]

Top 20 Drug-eating Rumors

1. Pork hookworm "boiled but not rotten":In September, 2013, in Longsheng, Guangxi, a saying that "the hookworm of pork is not rotten in water, not cooked in oil, and can’t be killed at high temperature" went viral on the Internet, and in the following years, a number of rumors of derivatives and variants appeared one after another, involving Guangdong, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Sichuan and other places. [detailed]

2.SB250 virus "72 change":In March 2016, two netizens in Yunnan Province spread rumors on the Internet: "At 2: 21 am yesterday, a woman was infected with SB250 virus (variants including sk5 and H7N9, etc.) and died. The doctor who participated in the rescue was quarantined. It is reported that this woman was sent to the hospital after buying grass carp in the market to eat pickled fish. CCTV news has been broadcast, so don’t eat fish, sauerkraut, especially grass carp for the time being. Since then, various versions of the rumor have been widely spread on social platforms, and the main content is roughly the same, but the time, place and name have been changed. [detailed]

3. White eggs are more nutritious:Before 2005, the saying that "red-skinned eggs are laid by chicken, so red-skinned eggs are more nutritious than white-skinned eggs" was popular in society. In response to this statement, CCTV Health Channel refuted the rumor in a program called "Learning to Eat Eggs" on September 13th, 2006, saying that there is almost no difference in the nutrition of different eggshells after experimental testing. [detailed]

4. Microwave ovens cause cancer:On April 23, 2002, Life Times published a rumor short message "Don’t ignore the harm of microwave ovens", because the few reprints did not form a hot topic of public opinion. On September 17th, 2003, China Youth Daily published a compiled article entitled "Microwave food does more harm than good and is extremely harmful to health", which put forward an extreme view that microwave food is harmful to health and even causes cancer. The title of the author was also exaggerated by translators and reprinted by many media, which triggered public doubts about the safety of microwave heating food. [detailed]

5. Drinking milk can cause cancer;On December 12, 2003, Campbell, an American nutrition professor, put forward the view that cancer cells will be "promoted" by high protein when drinking a lot of milk and taking too much animal protein. On June 3, 2004, Nanfang Daily published a report that a British professor believed that dairy products were a catalyst for human carcinogenesis. In the following years, a large number of articles on foreign research on the harm of milk to human body were widely reprinted in Sina blog, Baidu Post Bar and various community forums, and even spread on websites such as "Biology Valley" and "Health Online". [detailed]

6. Instant noodles are "junk food";Since October, 2003, the "Top Ten Junk Foods in the World (List) published by the World Health Organization" has been reprinted on food websites such as Huaxia Jingwei. com and Bio-Valley, and mainstream portals such as Sohu and Sina, including convenience foods, calling them "containing preservatives and flavors, with only calories but no nutrition". This view confirms the public’s cognition of instant noodles and has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts since then. On September 29th, 2004, "China Food Science and Technology Network" invited relevant professors for the first time to dispel rumors and introduce the nutritional components of instant noodles.[detailed]

7. Injection of watermelon causes poisoning:In the summer of 2016, it was the hot season of watermelon. A message that "as long as there are yellow and white tendons in the melon pulp, it means that this watermelon has been injected" went viral on major social platforms.

Nancai Finance All-Media Reporter Feng Yuyi reports from Zhuhai.

On the evening of January 28th, Dong Mingzhu, wearing a pink embroidered silver-gray dress, appeared at the 10,000-person conference of "Gree 2024 Global Dream Festival", nearly six years after the Gree 2018 Dream Festival.

Dong Mingzhu, Chairman and President of Gree Electric, said at the meeting that night that 2023 was the best year for Gree since its establishment 33 years ago. It is estimated that the operating income will be 205 billion-210 billion yuan, the net profit will be 27 billion-29.3 billion yuan, the company’s tax contribution will be about 17.6 billion yuan, and the annual dividend in the past five years will average over 14.073 billion yuan. She mentioned that she hoped that Gree Electric’s tax revenue to the country would exceed 20 billion yuan in 2024 and strive to double its performance in the next five years. This is also the mark that Gree Electric’s revenue has returned to 200 billion yuan since 2019.

Behind the great increase in Gree’s performance

Looking back on 2023, the global air-conditioning sales market is quite positive. According to the PSI monitoring data of AVC, in 2023, the production of household air conditioners was 163.282 million units, up 12.3% year-on-year; Sales reached 156.946 million units, a year-on-year increase of 10.4%. Among them, 90.541 million units were shipped domestically, up 12.9% year-on-year; Exports reached 66.405 million units, a year-on-year increase of 7.3%.

The relevant person in charge of Gree Electric Marketing Department said in an interview with Southern Finance and Economics all-media reporter that with the recovery of the domestic consumer market in 2023, consumers’ demand for durable consumer goods such as air conditioners was released, and the air-conditioning production capacity was greatly expanded, superimposed with the ever-high temperature weather, and the global temperature rise made many European countries and regions that did not use air conditioners start to increase their demand, thus achieving the unexpected growth of the air-conditioning market.

According to industry online data, the cumulative shipments of Gree Electric in the first 11 months of 2023 increased by 1.5% year-on-year, of which domestic sales increased by 4% year-on-year, while exports decreased by 4.8% year-on-year. The growth rate was slightly weaker than that of the industry, and the market share of domestic and foreign exports declined slightly by 2.2pct and 1.8pct.

Compared with the full expansion of the domestic market, the above-mentioned person in charge said that for overseas markets, Gree has started to implement different overseas market development models, including self-owned brand model and OEM model, in addition to constantly seeking cooperation with world-renowned enterprises and establishing cooperative partnerships to realize resource sharing and complementarity, and at the same time, it has found distributors and partners in various places to form a differentiated development strategy.

According to the annual reports of Gree in 2020, 2021 and 2022, the total operating income in the three years was 170.497 billion yuan, 189.654 billion yuan and 190.151 billion yuan respectively. The outside world has been discussing that the revenue of 200 billion yuan is the "entry ticket" of the world’s top 500 companies in the past two years. It is worth looking forward to whether Gree can break through the top 500 companies with its performance in 2023.

Dong Mingzhu had previously responded by saying that she didn’t care about falling out of the world’s top 500. She said at the party on the 28th, "I still reiterate that Gree Electric doesn’t care about the stock price because we don’t live on it."

Industry insiders predict that in 2023, with the blessing of many favorable factors such as the right time, the right place and the right people, the domestic and foreign markets of China air conditioners will perform remarkably. However, in the current situation that the domestic air-conditioning demand is narrowing, and the overseas export market is always faced with uncertainties such as geopolitics and exchange rate fluctuations, it will be difficult to replicate the higher shipment scale in 2024.

The road to transformation is full of thorns

With air conditioning as the core category, air conditioning business in Gree Electric accounts for about 70% of the total revenue in the first three quarters of 2023. In order to reverse the single development model that relies heavily on air-conditioning business, Gree has been emphasizing diversified development in recent years, trying to show the world a multi-faceted and three-dimensional enterprise structure and competitive strength.

All-media reporters of Southern Finance and Economics combed Gree Electric’s financial reports in recent years and found that the diversified layout of Gree is not comprehensive. The logic is basically to extend the industrial chain through the upstream and downstream layout of household appliances, from smart equipment and precision molds in the vertical direction of the industrial chain to refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters and drinking fountains in the horizontal direction of products, and then to new energy vehicles, mobile phones and prefabricated vegetables, and so on, stepping on the tuyere of almost every industry.

Taking intelligent equipment as an example, intelligent equipment has always been a main line of Gree’s diversified business development. Tracing back to this main line so far, Gree has made great strides.

In 2013, Dong Mingzhu personally established the Automation Office, Automation Equipment Manufacturing Department, Automation Technology Research Institute and Intelligent Equipment Technology Research Institute, which defined the development direction of "independent innovation and independent creation" and opened Gree’s entry into the field of intelligent equipment.

In 2015, Gree Intelligent Equipment Manufacturing Division independently established Gree Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., and proposed industrial robots and high-end CNC machine tools as the company’s two major research fields in the future. The industrial robots independently developed by Gree also made their debut. At the same time, Midea and Yaskawa Electric set up a joint venture robot company, took a stake in KUKA for the first time, and officially announced their entry into the robot industry.

At the end of 2022, Gree established Zhuhai Gree Prefabricated Vegetable Equipment Technology Development Co., Ltd., and the Guangdong Prefabricated Vegetable Equipment Industry Development Federation, which was led by Gree in the following year, was officially unveiled, and a prefabricated vegetable smart factory was built to March into prefabricated vegetable equipment in an all-round way.

Yang Ce of china galaxy Securities Co., Ltd. believes that Gree Electric is better than sales in revenue growth, which is expected to benefit from the improvement of income diversification level after the company’s product structure optimization and business transformation.

However, judging from the revenue structure in the first half of 2023, Gree’s industrial products, smart equipment and green energy projects accounted for 5.53%, 0.25% and 2.94% of the revenue respectively. The "second growth curve" created by Gree still has a long way to go and faces many challenges.

Now, it has been four years since Gree put forward the reform of "new retail" mode, and Gree has continuously laid out new retail channels to reduce operating costs. According to the latest public information, starting this year, Gree will fully implement a new retail model in Shandong, Guangdong and other provinces, in which dealers directly sign contracts with the company’s Zhuhai headquarters and place orders from the cloud platform, so as to shorten the sales chain.

Regarding the marketing reform, Dong Mingzhu had previously responded to the media, saying, "The first thing to reform is to change your own life. Gree’s past marketing model was created by me, and it hasn’t changed much for more than 20 years. But the background of today’s era is completely different from that of that year. The arrival of the Internet era is indeed a huge challenge for Gree. "

　　From April 18th to 20th, a special forum on "Understanding China Bay Area Dialogue" was held in Guangzhou Yuexiu International Conference Center. Focusing on the theme of "Chinese-style modernization and new opportunities in the world", the participants discussed the profound connotation of Chinese-style modernization and the new opportunities that China’s development has brought to the world. They believed that China has embarked on a new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way, embraced the world with an open attitude, benefited the world with a broad mind, and injected new kinetic energy into global development with its own development, and will continue to make new contributions to promoting the building of a community of human destiny.

　　"This is a development path that conforms to China’s national conditions."

　　To understand China, we must understand Chinese modernization. From adhering to the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership to adhering to the people-centered development thought, from taking the development road in line with China’s national conditions to developing people’s democracy in the whole process, Chinese-style modernization has aroused heated discussion among participants.

　　Zheng Bijian, president of China National Innovation and Development Strategy Research Association, said in his opening speech that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China’s reform, opening-up and socialist modernization have been further promoted, which has written a new chapter in two miracles: rapid economic development and long-term social stability.

　　"Why can China and the Communist Party of China (CPC) achieve such achievements? Finding the answer to this question will help us better understand China. " Ivan Meljnikov, First Vice-President of the Russian State Duma, believes that there is no only correct path for all countries to realize modernization. Instead of blindly copying the practices of other countries, China can keep pace with the times according to its own national conditions. "the Communist Party of China (CPC) has always regarded seeking happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation as its initial mission. When formulating policies, we should first consider whether it is beneficial to the people."

　　Lord Davidson, a member of the House of Lords of the British Labour Party, said that China’s real development achievements show that Chinese modernization was not accidental, but was carefully planned and systematically promoted. "This is a development path that conforms to China’s national conditions and brings great changes to the lives of the people of China." For example, Davidson said that since the signing of the Framework Agreement on Deepening the Cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao and Promoting the Construction of Greater Bay Area for more than five years, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has become one of the regions with the highest degree of openness and the strongest economic vitality in China, and solid steps have been taken to build Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with high quality, which is the result of China’s emphasis on long-term planning.

　　Martin jacques, a well-known British scholar and expert on China, believes that the quality of national governance determines the success or failure of national development, and China’s national governance system has a lot to learn from. The Communist Party of China (CPC) can reach a consensus among the people, thus promoting rapid economic development and long-term social stability. The long-term nature of China’s policy, the professionalism of state governance and the people-oriented practicality are all important factors to promote the development of China.

　　Senator Parrili of the Argentine Justice Party said that China has achieved economic development and improved people’s living standards, which is the result of adhering to the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. "This enlightens us that every country should choose the political system that suits it best, which is closely related to our future."

　　"Contribute to regional and global development and prosperity"

　　At the forum, the participants talked about China’s contribution to global development in the process of promoting Chinese-style modernization from the perspectives of new development pattern, balanced and inclusive development of the global economy, China’s unification of big market construction and new kinetic energy of global development, and promotion of a higher level of opening up, and firmly believed that Chinese-style modernization would bring new opportunities to the world.

　　Robert kuhn, chairman of the American Kuhn Foundation, said that China is the second largest economy in the world, a major trading partner of more than 140 countries and regions, and an important force in promoting economic globalization. "Chinese-style modernization has not only improved the living standards of China people, but also brought benefits to people all over the world."

　　Former Belgian Prime Minister Yves Letem said that China has made unprecedented achievements in economic and social development in the past few decades, and the realization of many global development goals has largely benefited from China’s contribution. While realizing its own development, China has also strengthened its trade with many countries in the world, which has promoted the economic and social development of relevant regions. I believe that China has the ability to promote more international cooperation and play a more important role in coping with global challenges in the process of modernization.

　　Yusuf Wanandi, senior researcher and co-founder of Indonesian Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that ASEAN and China have accumulated rich experience in development cooperation. Southeast Asian countries pay close attention to the process of Chinese modernization and hope to strengthen cooperation with China. Wanandi said that China has increased its investment in global development cooperation, is committed to narrowing the gap between the North and the South, and firmly supports and helps developing countries to accelerate their development. "Chinese-style modernization will not only benefit the people of China, but also contribute to regional and global development and prosperity."

　　Wen Kangnong, the representative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in China, expounded the significance of promoting agricultural and rural modernization in China from the perspectives of food security and agricultural science and technology. "As an increasingly important strategic partner of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, China not only ensures its own food security, but also actively participates in and promotes regional and even global sustainable development." Wen Kangnong said that China has formed a relatively complete agricultural science and technology innovation system, and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and China jointly formulated the Country Planning Framework (2021— 2025), strengthen cooperation in three key areas: implementing the rural revitalization strategy, enhancing the resilience of the grain system, and strengthening international and regional agricultural cooperation, and work together to achieve common prosperity, protect the global environment, and create a better future for mankind.

　　"Promote the construction of a community of human destiny with practical actions"

　　On the road of modernization, China has always kept the world in mind, and put forward the idea of building a community of human destiny, the "One Belt and One Road" initiative, the global development initiative, the global security initiative and the global civilization initiative, which have contributed China wisdom, China’s plan and China’s strength to solving the common problems facing mankind.

　　"In the face of many global challenges, maintaining multilateralism and strengthening international cooperation are the answers to the problems. China issued the right voice and put forward the right initiative. " Letham said. Participants agreed that China’s ideas and actions are in line with the trend of the times and international consensus, and are conducive to promoting cooperation and exchanges in various fields in the international community, effectively coping with global challenges and jointly creating a better future for mankind.

　　"China is striving to achieve common prosperity for all people, and is also promoting the building of a community of human destiny with practical actions." Kasuri, former Pakistani Foreign Minister, said that the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative has promoted the infrastructure interconnection of countries along the route and provided important opportunities for developing countries.

　　Lawrence Tubiana, CEO of the European Climate Foundation, said that only by adhering to multilateralism and win-win cooperation can we effectively deal with climate change. China has become a global leader in clean energy development, with rapid development in electric vehicles and other fields. "The world needs China to continue to play a leading role in achieving the goal of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change."

　　Alexander Chernousov, Russian Consul General in Guangzhou, said: "China has advanced along the path of peaceful development, effectively implemented reform and opening up, and promoted the economic growth of itself and many countries. Building a multipolar world conforms to the requirements of the times, the expectations of countries for peaceful development, and the concept of a community of human destiny. China is building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and promoting a higher level of opening up, with the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area as an important example. A prosperous and developing China will provide an important driving force for achieving world prosperity and stability and building a multi-polar pattern. "

　　David Ferguson, a British expert in foreign languages press, China Foreign Languages Bureau, believes that from the Chinese modernization, China is willing to make a big cake of development and share the fruits of development, so as to benefit the people of all countries. "The free flow of people, goods and information is the key to prosperity. Chinese-style modernization is closely linked to promoting the building of a community of human destiny. " Ferguson said that China’s initiative to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative, which advocates open cooperation and common development, has won the trust and respect of more and more countries. It is expected that all countries in the world will join hands with China to build a better world.

With outstanding athletic design adjustment and young and handsome face value performance; The most important thing is that since its birth, the preferential measures of major sales terminals have not stopped; This makes Cadillac CT5, which has always been the best seller in the luxury brand medium-sized car market in China. Of course, although the strength of Cadillac CT5 is strong, in the face of the increasingly complex market environment, I am afraid it is necessary to further enhance its own strength. As a result, Cadillac CT5 has recently completed the change of 2024 models. Moreover, the 2024 Cadillac CT5 was officially launched earlier today. So, where has the 2024 Cadillac CT5 been improved? Below, let’s take a look at the new car given by a group of netizens and take photos of the store.

As a mid-term redesigned model, although the appearance of the 2024 Cadillac CT5 has not undergone subversive adjustment, the details have been upgraded, but it also makes it look more handsome. Just like its front face, it is not only equipped with a new "barley gold" color scheme, but also upgraded the blackened shield-shaped air intake grille and optimized the "tears" style headlights, thus making its front face sporty and fashionable. The sense has been significantly improved.

On the side of the car body, like most mid-term redesigned models, the side face of the 2024 Cadillac CT5 has hardly been adjusted. However, the iconic large slip back, coupled with matte multi-spoke wheels, is enough to create a handsome and sporty body posture.

As for the tail of the new car, the blackened rear enclosure consisting of shark fin, duckling tail and bilateral rectangular exhaust perfectly interprets its young and sporty design concept.

The interior layout of the new car is another obvious feature of the upgrade of the 2024 Cadillac CT5. Under the influence of the latest family-style interior design, it will have a 33-inch 9K ring-screen super-retina curved screen, and the newly-launched 126-color interior ambience light will make the technological atmosphere of its interior very rich. In addition, the new car will also be equipped with Super Cruise super assisted driving system, and the original BOSE sound system consisting of 15 speakers will be upgraded to AKG sound system consisting of 16 speakers.

In terms of space, due to the identity of its mid-term modified model, its body size has basically not been substantially improved compared with the old model. This basically means its real internal space performance, and it will not make people feel the difference. However, the platinum version of its top will be equipped with 8-way electric adjustment of the co-pilot seat, front seat massage/leg rest, front sports seat with electric lateral support and other optimized configurations.

In the power part, the new car will continue to be equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 237 HP and a peak torque of 350 Nm, all of which are matched with a 10AT gearbox and adopt the form of rear-wheel drive.

On the whole, the upgrade of the 2024 Cadillac CT5 in terms of design and internal configuration should be more in line with the identity of its mid-term redesigned model. Then, will the 2024 Cadillac CT5 with a guide price of 289,700-341,700 yuan be the object of your consideration?

1905 movie network feature 182 million, this is 8 days after the first movie starring Hu Ge was released. But the numbers have little to do with him. In another 7 days, on the stage in Beijing, he will be reunited with Patient No. 5 in "Dream Like a Dream" after a long absence.

For someone who lives in Shanghai and works in Beijing, it is also a tale of two cities.

Hu Ge remembers the first time he came to Beijing. In 1994, everything was new and unfamiliar. The Poly Building, where the Poly Theater is located, had just risen on the edge of the Second Ring Road. It was not until 2000 that it was overhauled. It was another 13 years after the mainland premiere of "A Dream Like a Dream".

From 1994 to 2019, not only did the gap between the two cities become smaller and smaller, but Hu Ge went from being a member of the Shanghai TV Little Star Art Troupe to an actor, experiencing life and death, and finding himself in a demarcated trajectory.

"I’d rather stop."

For an actor, self-fulfillment is sometimes a trade-off. If you want to play a certain role, you have to accept the following promotions, interviews, roadshows, and various new tricks.

Hu Ge had an unprecedented exposure in recent years. During the period approaching the release, he appeared on the red carpet of the awards ceremony, at the fan meeting in the studio, in the cameras of countless media, and in Li Jiaqi’s live stream.

After the video of our exclusive interview was released, some fans left a message: "How many interviews did you give?"

This is, of course, the time when an aspiring actor loses himself the most. At the end of the interview that day, we chatted with Hu Ge about an icon actor who has swept Asia. He asked, I heard he doesn’t do interviews anymore? We said yes. Hu Ge added, so what is he not doing? There was a hint of envy in his words.

I don’t know if Hu Ge also wants to be able to hide in the noise after acting in a movie. Some media summed up his choice with a song title: "Sudden Self", he said that was not the case: "It’s not sudden, I think it should be planned for a long time."

The popularity of "Legend of Immortals and Swords" kept Hu Ge trapped in the genre of young heroes for a long time. After "Langya Ranking" and "The Pretender" were broadcast, he suddenly realized that the same problem had arisen again, so he stopped and did not take the play. "I don’t want to fall into that cycle again, so I would rather stop for a while." Hu Ge knew the time and effort it took to come out of an image.

He reflects on himself because he is too rational about his own perception: "An actor who is not wayward is not a good actor, and I think I am just not wayward enough." This, he concludes, is not a good thing for acting.

Reasonable enough to watch any of his works, Hu Ge will habitually find fault, and he still has three points to say about "The Wild Goose Lake". He sees the film and Zhou Zenong’s character as his first step out of the safe zone:

"This role may not be very good for me, but I think the biggest meaning for me is that I have come out, in the area where I was better at or safe, I have come out, and I have come to a relatively unfamiliar field."

Hu Ge said that the release of the film has given him more motivation to take a second step.

"Farther from Cannes"

As a film that premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and was released six months later, walking on the red carpet of the film festival and a film entering the cinema, what kind of behavior would make an actor excited? Calmed down, Hu Ge said that when he went to Cannes, he felt even further away from Cannes.

He reflected that the original intention of making a movie was not to go to an international film festival. The original intention of making a movie is very simple. As an actor, you like to act, and as a director, you like to create, and you want to express your understanding of the world to the audience.

Before leaving Cannes, Hu Ge and the other creators learned the results of the awards. One afternoon, Hu Ge and the directors Diao Yinan and Gui Lunmei looked at the sea in a low mood. Diao Yinan told the two of them earnestly, don’t give up, don’t stop, continue filming, or stick to your dreams, and be sure to cooperate with the new director.

At that moment, in a place that had long been out of reach in his heart, a place that had been conceptualized as a temple of film, Hu Ge was moved by Diao Yinan’s words. In his opinion, a director whose work was snubbed by the judges can still take care of the actors and put forward his own expectations for the future of the film, which is particularly selfless and great.

When the Golden Rooster Awards met again, Hu Ge and Diao Yinan discussed some of their future plans. He said: "In fact, one of my future jobs may also be influenced by the director’s words at that time."

He resumed his thoughts on Zhou Zenong’s role. In his opinion, the fugitive needed to use the final fast run to draw an exclamation point for his life.

"Otherwise, he will always be an ellipsis," Hu Ge added.

"Is this your idea for the next step? Let yourself have a fast running state?" We asked along these lines.

"No, I prefer this part of my journey to be a little faster." Hu Ge replied.

"Looking for an answer"

This is not Hu Ge’s first character to face death. We compare Zhou Zenong to the patient No. 5 in "A Dream Like a Dream". The fate of the two characters is the same, but Zhou Zenong runs forward, but Patient No. 5 is waiting.

The annual "Dream Like a Dream" was like a kind of cycle, experiencing things all over again, saying the same lines and doing the same things with the same actors. The difference was that every time it was performed, the actors would put new experiences on the characters, which made Hu Ge feel that life is about finding answers.

Patient No. 5 had been ill, his clothes tightly wrapped him, his head lowered, and he felt a little helpless in his confusion. Initially, Hu Ge played him, making the part before his illness fun, in contrast to the second half; but this year, he abandoned those settings and became a person who could be seen everywhere in life.

Hu Ge now felt that these settings were not important, what was important was that he found a question mark on Patient No. 5: "Patient No. 5 is looking for an answer, looking for why fate has been so unfair to him, he wants to find an answer, so that he can face death calmly and face what has been brought to him calmly."

These roles made him think a lot. One thing fans know is that Hu Ge has five cats and used to love taking his cats to the set. But now, Hu Ge says he hasn’t taken cats to the set for a long time, because he feels that now he is receiving a very challenging job, and his energy must be concentrated.

But he talked about the cat he met while filming "The Wild Goose Lake", with his head slightly poked and his hands raised, as if he had turned himself into a cat: "It’s a black and white cat, but its pattern is very special like a kitten wearing an evening dress. The middle of the chest is white, the side is black, but it happens to be a V-neck, the four claws are white, and the other places are black. It looks good. I saw it at the scene and liked it very much, so I took it back to the hotel."

With animals with short lives like cats, Hu Ge said that he can finally face this matter: "Because every life is different, not just animals."

I don’t know if this is a change brought about by his characters and experiences in recent years. Hu Ge was a little down when he said this. So we tried to change the topic and said, "It’s like your characters, each state is different, and you have to say goodbye to them after you play them?"

Hu Ge laughed: "It’s not easy for you to come back."

When we look at actors, we always have some beautiful expectations. For example, we want to find the imprint left by a certain crew or character on them; we hope that these works that are so different in our hearts also have a special place in their own hearts. Hu Ge confirmed this beautiful guess.

"When I’m playing a role, I put a part of myself into the role, and when the role is completed, it will actually be in my life forever." This was a very standard answer, but the moment it was said, it seemed very moving.
