From Bao Xiaobai’s "resurrection" of her daughter who died of illness to netizens’ "resurrection" of CoCo Lee with AI, AI "resurrection" has become one of the hottest topics at present.

Merchants on the e-commerce platform have already smelled business opportunities. Shops and studios that "resurrect" their loved ones with AI are everywhere, and the lowest 10 yuan can "make old photos move". Some merchants’ interfaces show "move and don’t talk" 40 yuan and "make talk" 150 yuan, and the interface shows that more than 800 copies have been sold.

However, the head enterprises that have been deeply involved in the field of digital people for many years seem calm. Silicon-based intelligence has "resurrected" thousands of people in the past few years. Founder and CEO Sima Huapeng told CBN that the whole enterprise has cloned about 500,000 digital people in the past, which means that in the whole big market, digital immortality business only accounts for a small part. "It’s not an industry that everyone looks so beautiful."

"Many people don’t want to put their loved ones ‘ Copy ’ When you come out, some bring happiness, others leave, and then watching and communicating repeatedly will deepen the pain, you know? " Sima Huapeng said that the silicon-based intelligent team has also experienced many rejections in the project of exploring the "resurrection" of AI. In his view, digital immortality may be an industry with a low ceiling in China, but in the field of digital people, whether it is short video, live broadcast or interactive application under the blessing of large models, there is a lot of imagination.

At present, digital immortality is also facing legal and ethical problems. Recently, the "resurrection" of AI stars has also caused a lot of controversy and been opposed by family members.

You Yunting, a senior partner of Shanghai Dabang Law Firm, believes that "public figures have a certain particularity, because there are many fans, who are familiar with themselves. If they see the videos of such public figures, they are cherished, even if they are created by artificial intelligence, I believe that most fans will not have opinions." He said that if it is a harmless behavior to the society, it is no problem, but if family members or their heirs raise objections to it, they should respect their opinions and take some content off the shelves.

Details stamp: "AI" Resurrection "is as low as 10 yuan, but it is not necessarily a good business"

As we said yesterday, there were quite a few good movies released last week.

Therefore, in last week’s Douban movie-Zhoukou tablet list, six new films were on the list at the same time. Among them, the best evaluation is this Hollywood blockbuster "13 lives" which just went online in August.

This film is now rated by nearly 10,000 people, and it still maintains 8.3 points. In this year’s new film, it is also very worthy of attention.

At first glance, Thirteen Lives may not be so amazing, just a traditional disaster film. But thanks to this solidity and tradition, the film has maintained a very good visibility, which is the kind of familiar taste.

Of course, from the line-up, this film is really worthy of attention. The director of this film is the old director Ron Howard, who is also a heavyweight director in Hollywood. Both the director and the producer have participated in many excellent works.

Many well-known films, such as A Beautiful Mind, The Iron Fist Man, Fast Wind, Apollo 13, Dialogue with Nixon and so on, are all directed by Ron Howard.

Of course, he also has an actress daughter, bryce dallas howard, who is also well known to everyone.

In addition to director Ron Howard, Vigo Mortensen, Colin Farrell, joel edgerton and others also added a lot of color to the film. Only from the line-up, this is indeed the most noteworthy film in the near future.

Besides, the film is also very attractive in plot.

The movie "Thirteen Lives" is based on a real event, from the cave rescue incident in Thailand in 2018. It is estimated that some friends still remember that incident, because it happened to be during the World Cup.

Twelve Thai football teenagers went to explore caves with their coaches, but because the rainy season came early, they were trapped in caves by a heavy rain, which lasted for many days.

After that, the Thai government and thousands of volunteers from all over the world began a long rescue work.

Just last year, there was a documentary about this incident, so we can watch it together with reference.

That’s last year’s Cave Rescue in Thailand:

This documentary is also very exciting. Today, the score of Douban is over 10,000, with a score of 9.0, which is also a high-scoring documentary last year.

Its director is Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, a well-known documentary couple. Their previous documentary "Rock Climbing with Hands" must have been seen by many friends.

In fact, whether it is the documentary "Cave Rescue in Thailand" or the drama "Thirteen Lives", the content is similar. After all, they all originated from the same real event.

Or, you can look at these two films this way. The documentary "Cave Rescue in Thailand" is more like a background information display, so that you can better understand the whole incident.

The drama "Thirteen Lives", because it is a drama performed by actors, will naturally add some detailed descriptions and emotional clues, including the recurrence of some events that cannot be presented in documentaries, which will make the audience feel the event more intuitively.

Of course, for me, whether it is a documentary or a drama, the feelings are actually similar.

As mentioned earlier, in fact, we often see all kinds of news or movies about disaster rescue, but what is special about this incident is that apart from the official rescue in Thailand, there are thousands of volunteers from all over the world who work together and do their best to participate in this rescue.

Even the people who played a key role in the final rescue were amateur cave divers, not professional rescuers.

When this group of volunteers from all over the world, who had nothing to do with these teenagers, volunteered to participate in the rescue without fear of hard work.

Is the most touching part of this incident.

It shows the rare goodwill in human nature, ignoring language, race and national boundaries …

Is across everything.

The reason why I was moved by such a plot is that in the last two years, such goodwill has become more and more scarce.

When teenagers were found trapped in caves, the Thai authorities quickly organized a rescue team. However, this rescue is indeed very difficult.

Because the cave was very deep and filled with water, at first, they were not even sure whether these teenagers were alive or dead.

In order to get further information or promote rescue work, it is necessary to dive in caves.

Although Thai SEALs have rich diving experience, they are not good at cave diving.

After all, cave diving is not a routine diving, it will be more dangerous and more difficult. Compared with conventional diving, cave diving will face more complex and unknown terrain, including the possibility of passing through a very narrow hole.

Especially, in the process of cave diving, the visibility of divers is extremely low. On the one hand, the water in the cave is very turbid, on the other hand, there is really no light in the cave, and the function of their own lighting equipment is very limited, which is why they have to touch the guide rope all the way, because that is their eyes.

Therefore, although in the movie, for the convenience of the audience, we can still see their various behaviors in the water.

But according to the description of the real cave diver, you can’t see anything there.

Of course, the film can’t be made like this, so the audience can’t see anything. We just need to understand that rescue in reality will be more difficult and dangerous than in movies.

So, when the SEALs were unable to perform the diving rescue mission. Several main characters in the film, a group of cave diving amateurs appeared.

Because there is no occupation in cave diving, these people with rich experience in cave diving are actually amateurs, and they also have other jobs themselves.

Their participation has promoted the rescue process to a certain extent. First of all, the two leading men, John and Richard, went deep into the cave through hours of cave diving, and found these 13 people and brought back precious images.

This discovery undoubtedly brings hope to the families of teenagers and lets them know that the children are still alive. At least people are still alive, so we can carry out the next rescue work.

Of course, it’s not that simple.

As mentioned earlier, cave diving is a very demanding diving activity, especially the whole process is very long and complicated, and it often takes several hours to dive, which has very high requirements for the specialty.

At the same time, not long after the discovery of these teenagers, a tragic event happened. A former Thai Navy SEAL member died during rescue diving due to lack of experience in cave diving and oxygen exhaustion.

And his misfortune further hinted at the difficulty of rescue work. A well-trained professional SEAL can’t finish the cave diving and escape successfully.

How can a group of inexperienced children get out of the dark caves by diving?

Therefore, the film shows that after the two protagonists find that these teenagers are still alive. In fact, the two men were so complicated that they even wanted to escape and didn’t want to make this discovery public.

Because they don’t know what to do next, and they are completely incapable of bringing those teenagers out alive.

How to safely take this group of teenagers who have no diving experience and spend a few hours diving through the dark caves.

Officially, it is: an impossible task.

Of course, in the end, they successfully completed the rescue mission, and 13 people, including the coach, were successfully rescued.

Specific how to rescue, the film also tells the process in detail, interested parties can also pay attention to it.

What the film finally presents is that human beings have achieved the impossible with their efforts.

Such a result is always touching.

In fact, whether it is this "13 lives" or the event itself, the touching reason is that most of the participants are ordinary people.

So in the climax of the rescue, the director specially arranged an emotional scene. One of the rescuers accidentally got lost while taking a child away. Because he was too flustered, he thought that the teenager might die. Tension and fear made him close to collapse and kept blaming himself.

Fortunately, in the end, it was just a false alarm. Everything went well and the children were saved.

However, this scene will also make the audience more aware that these rescuers are really not heroes, they are just ordinary people, and they also have fragility and fear.

However, the heroic behavior from ordinary people will be even more touching.

And the most wonderful thing about this "Thirteen Lives" is that it tells a story of a civilian hero and their kindness across national boundaries.

At the same time, the actors have also paid a lot for this film. For example, several leading actors have done a lot of diving exercises for the film, and they need to shoot their own diving. But diving, especially cave diving, is really very difficult and dangerous, and the actors also said that there will be great panic during diving.

Colin Farrell, the male host, even said that in the future, he might be cautious about making a film about water sports, because this film left a great shadow on him.

Of course, although it is very serious, Colin Farrell has made a lot of preparations and efforts for this film. In addition to practicing diving, I have been communicating with the prototype of the character to better understand the role.

Even, because the prototype he played was keen on long-distance running, Colin Farrell practiced long-distance running, and even ran a Brisbane Marathon during filming.

Finally, I finished the race in 3 hours and 54 minutes.

According to official data, he averaged 5 minutes and a half kilometers, and finally ranked 34 in his 45-49 age group (64 in total) and 222 among all the players. As a player who practices and plays, this result is still ok.

Therefore, this group of actors is really too hard to run a marathon for the movie.

After the film was released, the overall evaluation was also good. In addition to douban, IMDb also scored 7.8 points.

Of course, I also saw some questioning voices. It seems that some netizens on Douban feel that this film overemphasizes the role of several white cave divers and ignores the efforts of other volunteers, because thousands of volunteers from many countries actually participated in this rescue activity, including the Thai government.

How can I put it? I can only say that this is the limitation of the creator, or it is called a choice. After all, movies are always limited by time, and creators also have their own direction of expression. Movies can’t cover everything, and they always have to be prominent and choose.

There’s nothing I can do about it.

Of course, watching such a movie, I still hope to give up more bad feelings and just feel the film from the perspective of ordinary people.

Whether white, black or yellow, when participating in this rescue activity.

In fact, they are all kind people first.

Including, in this rescue, a group of China volunteers also participated and provided a lot of support.

All of them are worthy of respect.

Special feature of 1905 film network A friend left a message in WeChat official account, indicating that she was more inclined to choose in the same period.

Today, there are still four days before the big movie "ipartment" will be released this Friday (August 10th), but everything doesn’t seem to be so smooth.

　

At noon, Weibo, the official of ipartment TV series, who has not spoken for a long time, suddenly posted a blog, announcing with a piece of Copyright Certificate that he would file a civil lawsuit against people related to the film, and made a request to the Film Bureau and China Film, hoping to stop the film’s release.

In the Copyright Certificate, it is clearly stated that "Lianfan Computer Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is the funder and sole authorized person of the play. The domestic and international distribution and economic benefits of the play are handled and enjoyed by Lianfan Computer Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.."

In the column of references, Wang Tianyun’s signature of Shanghai Film Group Co., Ltd. is very eye-catching.

　

However, the film "ipartment" official micro soon released relevant certificates to "counterattack" and said in a statement issued, "In view of the fact that a company in Weibo today claims to’ invest in and enjoy all the rights of ipartment’, Shanghai Gog Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as’ Gog’) hereby declares as follows: The film’ ipartment’ was produced by Gog based on the original script of Mr. Wang Yuan, the screenwriter of the TV series’ ipartment’, and Gog legally owns the complete copyright of the film’ ipartment’ and has obtained all necessary laws in advance. Gog reserves the right to sue and even hold accountable for malicious slander and harassment of ipartment’s copyright and intellectual property rights."

　

Within a few hours after the incident, the media contacted Mr. Li, the relevant person in charge of Lianfan Company, for the first time. Mr. Li said that the news of Lianfan, a Taiwan Province company with its headquarters, was relatively lagging behind. The movie version of "ipartment" didn’t have a title at first, but only related creative information. (According to Xiao Dianjun, as early as the beginning of the year, the film was named "Finally, I am back to do things again". )

“After we got to know each other, we began to collect these companies and sent them lawyer letters one after another, including that we also applied to the China Film and Film Bureau for an injunction. The whole process also takes some time. It was not until last Friday that we sent all these materials. China Film just sent it out today. Only then can we take all the evidence and send them to the media."

Sina Entertainment’s first interview content

Mr. Li also said that the biggest reason for the collapse of Lianfan Company and screenwriter Wang Yuan in the later period was too much plagiarism. According to Mr. Li, Lianfan Company once questioned Wang Yuan, but Wang Yuan’s response at that time was "to pay tribute to foreign movies and TV series".

　

In fact, when searching for "ipartment’s plagiarism" on Baidu, there were 2.5 million pieces of information. Even when the drama version of "ipartment" was popular, many media compared it with American TV series frame by frame. Therefore, it is unknown what will happen to the movie version of ipartment.

The movie version of ipartment has only released a 30-second preview since it started its publicity in June. However, in this 30-second preview, there is hardly any substance. The other three special features are completely centered on "Ten Years of Feelings".

There are only 4 video materials so far.

But is this "ten years of feelings" really effective? Perhaps it is still a question.

Looking back on the four seasons of ipartment, several leading actors are still impressive, and Chen He still bears the logo of "A good man is me, and I am Ceng Xiaoxian".

However, in this film version of ipartment, Eric Wang, the actor of Sekitani Kamiki, and Jin Shijia, the actor of Lu Zhanbo, are both absent.

　

This absence is no accident.

Earlier, Eric Wang said in an interview that he would not appear in the film version. Even when a fan on Weibo asked, "How can you shoot Love 5 like this?" He replied directly, "It’s none of my business."

Later, he simply shut down Weibo’s comments and avoided these strange "interactions".

A while ago, in an interview with the media, I talked about this topic again. He directly said, "For me, filming ipartment is just an experience, and it’s not that important. Everyone thinks that the filming of ipartment 4 should be over. Because we can’t cooperate anymore, don’t you think it looks more and more like an advertisement, regardless of copying? It’s all advertising. Why make a movie?"

　

However, at that time, the director of ipartment was still supporting Eric Wang’s new work in Weibo and said "Chuanjun is a rare good actor.",suspected to respond to Eric Wang’s diss.

There are still four days before the film is released. Apart from the early plagiarism, it is now caught in a copyright storm.

So, will you still go to the cinema to support this film of "Ten Years of Feelings"?

　　China Overseas Chinese Network November 26th According to the American World Journal, in 1957, Cha Liangyong’s martial arts novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes was first published in Hong Kong, and soon became one of the most popular Chinese martial arts novels. In the past 60 years, this book has been adapted into dozens of TV plays and movies. Last year, British Maclehose Press translated Legends of the Condor Heroes into English, and the first volume "A Hero Born" was published on February 22 this year, and the other 11 volumes will be published one after another. This is the fourth novel by Jin Yong that has been translated into English.

　　Dr Chris Hamm, an associate professor in the Department of Asian Languages and Literature at the University of Washington, is an American authority on Jin Yong. In an interview, he said that he had not read the English version of Jin Yong’s work and could not comment on its success. "But all in all, I think it is very difficult to translate Jin Yong’s novels into English." Interested readers will certainly welcome the English version, but the English version of Jin Yong’s books is unlikely to achieve the same success as it did in the Chinese-speaking world.

　　Fame is limited to Chinese.

　　According to statistics, Jin Yong’s 15 novels have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide, not including a considerable amount of piracy. Jin Yong has become one of the best-selling writers in the world and enjoys a high reputation in the Chinese-speaking world. However, the western world has hardly heard of his name.

　　Before this English version, only three novels of Jin Yong were translated into English, including Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain translated by Olivia Mok, The Duke Of Mount Deer translated by John Minford, and The Book and the Sward translated by Graham Earnshaw. Moreover, these English versions are published by British publishing houses and Hong Kong English publishing houses, without the participation of American publishing houses.

　　Han Yisong said that Jin Yong’s novels are rarely translated into English, mainly for two reasons. The first is the translation itself. Jin Yong’s novels are not more difficult to understand than other China novels, so they are not "difficult to translate" in this sense. However, most of the pleasure of Chinese readers lies in Jin Yong’s mastery of Chinese. Jin Yong created a modern style, borrowed the language of China’s traditional novels, and his use of Jianghu terms involved China literature and culture. "It is very difficult, if not impossible, to reproduce his language and his style with English translation."

　　The second reason is the content. Jin Yong’s novels provide readers with fascinating storylines and vivid characters. However, the plots of his novels usually involve the historical stories of China, and his characters are related to the themes and moral issues of China society. His novels make China readers feel rich in content, and will also attract English readers who are interested in the culture of China and China. However, ordinary English readers will feel "strange" about this.

　　He pointed out that people sometimes compare Jin Yong’s novels with Harry Potter series or Tolkien’s fantasy novels. This is appropriate in some ways. But he felt that, to some extent, China’s martial arts novels were more comparable to the cultural role of the United States in the 20th century. These two types are centered on the imaginary version of history, which is very important as a kind of cultural identity.

　　Westward reaction bipolar

　　Publishers sell the English version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes to western readers as a Chinese version of Game of Thrones. From the comments left by readers, we can see the polarized views of English readers on the book.

　　On June 5, 2018, commentator nekozuki Chris gave a rating of up to 5 stars. He said, "after 15 years of waiting, I am not disappointed." He said that about 15 years ago, my sister and he found the anime "Legend of the Condor Heroes". We like this story very much and really want to see it. I have seen the same story in China’s play. When I saw the novel published in English, I bought it at once.

　　He said, I feel very happy. Writing is really great. Rich vocabulary and interesting stories. I only read half of it, but I like it. In the south of China, the two Song patriots, Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin, experienced many changes. We even met Ghengis Khan in the story. I really look forward to all the novels being translated. "I hope I can read this great series."

　　On June 5, 2018, the commenter Ezequiel Davidovich Caballero said, "I want everything about martial arts." My only complaints about this version are the following two: First, they translated some names but not all. I would prefer to use the original name with footnotes to explain things like Huang Rong. Names like Hector Sha are meaningless. Why westernize the name? I want to talk to the translator about it. I repeat, I like this book. I just hope they don’t spend a year publishing a book, or I will be too old when I finish reading 12 books.

　　On June 24, 2018, reader Michael D. Teret left a message calling this book a "precious gift". The reader said that only a few Jin Yong’s works are available in English. This new translation is a precious gift for western readers. "I earnestly hope that the sequel will come soon!"

　　However, some people are dissatisfied with this English translation. On August 18, 2018, the reader who signed Modern Viking only gave the book one star. I’m really looking forward to reading this book and I love China culture and history,’ he said. But I must admit, on page 80, I can’t keep any interest at all. There is no lack of action here, but the content changes so suddenly that the first 80 pages are like children’s comments on kung fu movies. "From other comments, I’m not the only one who thinks so."

　　In his comments, he said that translation retains a lot of China flavor, which may be good of course, but at the cost of losing English idioms that are easier to read. He said, I find it hard to believe that the Chinese text is richer and more detailed to some extent. I must scold the publishers for comparing Jin Yong with Tolkien, just like comparing Jin Yong’s books with Shakespeare’s.

　　Iron powder: difficult to translate

　　On March 1, 2018, just a few days after the first volume of the English translation of Legend of the Condor Heroes was published, a Chinese reader under the pen name P Kimel commented that when I first heard that the English version of this book was published, I was shocked. I never check whether there are English versions, because I have read them in Chinese at least a dozen times. I am glad that this classic can finally be conveyed to western readers. The original book was written more than 50 years ago, and the English version is too late.

　　Like J.R.R. Tolkien or J.K. Rowling, Jin Yong is a master of building an otherworldly world full of fascinating plots and characters.

　　He said that the highest score of the review was 5, but I took a star because of the translation. I sympathize with the translator, because many concepts of Jin Yong’s world belong to China people. For example, "nine yin skeleton claw" doesn’t sound as scary as China’s original, and the translator has done admirable and high-quality work.

　　Translator: Cultural differences

　　Feng Yu, director of the Edison public library in New Jersey, translated seven or eight English novels in addition to his own job. As an English translator, she thinks that Jin Yong’s novels are difficult to translate, because Jin Yong’s novels depend on "the meaning between the lines", such as martial arts cheats, which English readers may not understand because of the differences between eastern and western cultures.

　　She believes that Jin Yong’s martial arts novels are like fantasy novel in the English world. If you can translate Jin Yong’s novels into English, you’d better have a sense of pictures, just like Jackie Chan’s martial arts movies and Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. However, there are many cultural and historical contents in Jin Yong’s novels, which are difficult to translate and difficult for foreign language readers to understand.

　　Writer Zhang Zongzi said that readers in western countries don’t know much about China culture, while China knows a lot about the west. There are too many elements of China culture in Jin Yong’s martial arts novels, which will be eclipsed by translation. In Jin Yong’s novels, Zhang Sanfeng taught Zhang Wuji to practice boxing, thinking that the more you forget, the better. Westerners will think this is "nonsense". How is that possible? However, as Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese belong to the Han cultural circle, they have a better understanding of China culture.

　　In modern times, the western classics translated by China are incomparable in depth and breadth to the Chinese classics translated by the west. For example, he said, Shakespeare’s works were translated and published in many versions in China, but the works of great writers in China were not translated in the west. There is still a long way to go for China’s literary works to go to the world. (Han Jie)

　　Children enjoy reading and enjoy reading together. The 7th Reading Festival of Central Primary School of Changlinhe School kicked off. On the afternoon of March 17th, middle and senior students’ representatives held the first activity of the Reading Festival in the multimedia classroom-the essence of writing and the essay contest.

　　Books bring us happiness and thinking. Through reading, our hearts meet reading, and we can meet with books, so that we can be good students who love reading, read good books and study well. Students in Grade 3 and Grade 4 share their reading stories with the title "The Story of Me and Books". At the same time, in order to commemorate the 62nd anniversary of Lei Feng’s death, we should earnestly study Lei Feng’s advanced deeds and promote social integrity as the goal, and carry out various forms of service activities to learn from Lei Feng, vigorously carry forward the volunteer spirit of "dedication, friendship, mutual assistance and progress" and make contributions to building a harmonious campus. Students in Grade 5 and Grade 6 write about the stories related to Lei Feng.

　　The students who participated in the competition were full of ideas, brilliant pen and flowers, and completed a series of excellent works, which drew a successful conclusion for this "writing essence, essay competition" activity and laid a good foundation for the reading festival activity of Changlinhe School Central Primary School.

Foreword of football world from a new perspective: Enthusiasm and order interweave. Welcome everyone to enter the football world. Here, we will discuss fairness, order and various stories behind football. I hope you can share this wonderful journey with me.

1. Controversial moment: What’s the meaning behind passion? In an Asian Games, a fierce confrontation between the China men’s soccer team and the Qatari team aroused widespread concern. In that game, the conflict between the two players not only increased the tension of the game, but also became the focus of media attention. In the end, although China successfully advanced, it also paid the price of players’ suspension and injury, and even suffered defeat in the follow-up matches. The AFC imposed a fine on this, and the issue of fine also caused many discussions outside.

2. Reflection on Asian football: Exploration of fairness and order Conflicts and disputes will not only affect the team’s performance, but also affect the fans’ enthusiasm for football. In order to ensure the fairness and order of the game, the Asian football community needs to reflect deeply and take corresponding measures. At the same time, the players should also show a more professional and disciplined attitude on the court to bring more exciting games to the fans.

3. Redefining Fairness: The Choice and Challenge of AFC Recently, AFC cancelled the qualification of direct promotion to the World Cup qualifiers, which caused widespread controversy. Some people think that this decision is more conducive to strong teams, while ignoring those teams affected by various reasons such as the epidemic. Fairness is not only a reflection of achievements, but also various factors behind it need to be fully considered.

4. The charm of football: not only competitive football is not only a competition, but also the intersection of emotions, enthusiasm and dreams. On this pitch, every player is fighting for honor and dreams. As fans, we should understand and support them. Conclusion: enthusiasm in order, order in enthusiasm In the world of football, enthusiasm and order are not contradictory. Every game is an exploration of fairness, discipline and enthusiasm. Let’s look forward to more exciting football.

Xinhuanet Beijing, March 12 (Ren Yuxi) According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, the national catering revenue exceeded 5 trillion yuan for the first time in 2023. The catering industry has contributed to the economic recovery and growth of China. This data is inseparable from the resilience and vitality of catering enterprises themselves.

At the beginning of 2024, a snack chain enterprise, Kuafu Fried String, handed over a performance sheet and announced the formal completion of the B round of financing. So far, Kuafu Fried String has completed financing of nearly 500 million yuan, becoming the brand with the highest total financing amount of snack chain in recent years.

Favor comes from trust.

As a tiny pixel of China’s economy, this enterprise reflects its youthful vitality and deep responsibility. According to Yuan Zelu, the founder of Kuafu Fried String, China’s economy and China’s catering industry are full of potential, and he has confidence in both.

　

Yuan Zelu said in an exclusive interview with Xinhuanet: "Catering is an industry that runs through the tertiary industry, from agriculture, animal husbandry to food industry, to catering and service industries. Catering enterprises are the capillaries of society, and they are everywhere. For the sake of Chinese people’s three meals a day, there are about 10 million restaurants in the country providing exquisite food and services, including snack franchisees. "

From the data and scale he said, it is not difficult to feel the vigorous power of the catering industry. At the same time, how fierce the competition is must be beyond everyone’s imagination. As a matter of fact, the catering track has always been very competitive. Why is Kuafu Fried String favored by capital?

Yuan Zelu said that Kuafu Fried String completed three rounds of financing in 2021 and B round of financing this year. I think it is not easy to achieve such a result. Analyzing the source of capital, a very important part comes from the old shareholders of Kuafu Chuanchuan, and the other part comes from the whole industry. The leading capital of this round of financing is the unique fund of Juewei. "In fact, the old shareholders saw the scarcity of our team. Over the years, every expectation we threw out exceeded expectations, which verified that the company’s digital construction and advanced management concepts can achieve ideal performance." Generally speaking, it is based on trust.

From an industrial point of view, the track where Kuafu Fried String is located has been recognized by the industry. There is a saying in the company called "Questioning Fried String, Understanding Fried String, Becoming Fried String". "At the beginning, many people were controversial about joining the fried string, thinking that it could last for one or two years at most, but in fact, we not only didn’t have a’ gas’, but we had our own scale. This category was developed by us, and we gave the industry imagination on this track."

Digitalization is the starting point for practicing high-quality development.

Yuan Zelu has his own understanding of how to promote high-quality development to take root in the catering industry. He believes that we can start from two aspects. The first is to improve the cost performance. In many cases, as long as the new things on the market pass the fresh period, consumers will return to rationality and start thinking about whether it is worth it. This is actually the cost performance. For example, at the same price, people used to choose "roadside stalls" in collusion with others, but now they can choose chain stores with better quality and hygiene and more intimate service. Good and not expensive, this is the improvement of cost performance, and it is also the direction for catering enterprises to practice high-quality development.

The second is to strengthen digital construction. The most fundamental thing in digital transformation is to solve the efficiency problem. Kuafu Fried String began to think about how to build it digitally in 2020, and then began to put it into practice the next year. "We hope to solve the’ triangle problem’ in the catering industry. According to past experience, it is difficult to have good quality, large scale and fast speed. The reason for this problem lies in the low efficiency of data utilization, so we have spent three years making a lot of digital systems and tools to make business-related data online at any time. With the data basis, our decision will be faster and more accurate. "

Yuan Zelu believes that digital construction is particularly important for enterprises. Industrial Internet and digital industry can drive franchise chain’s format to become more efficient and accurate. "Regarding the digital construction of catering enterprises, it used to be thought that there must be 10,000 stores before it can be digitized, because it feels that the investment in digital construction is large, but I think that catering enterprises facing the future can only achieve 10,000 stores if they have digitalization first."

He introduced that in the past three years, Kuafu Fried String has invested tens of millions of dollars in digital construction, and other catering enterprises may have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars if they want to achieve a similar degree. "We have done a lot of selection work on functions, only doing the most accurate and needed functions, and there is almost no waste of investment."

Food safety lies in nip in the bud.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and safety is the first thing to eat. This sentence has been engraved in the bones of Kuafu Fried String, and the problem of eating for ordinary people is the biggest livelihood problem, and Kuafu Fried String knows this well.

Yuan Zelu introduced that the company usually holds food safety-related activities online and offline, emphasizing that the whole company should pay close attention to food safety and quality. At the management level, Yuan Zelu is the first person in charge of the Center for Food Safety. "In fact, there are not many departments that I am directly responsible for, but I will be personally responsible for this department."

The food safety center consists of three departments, one is responsible for the control of raw materials. All links and key control points of raw material production are supervised by a set of mechanisms, which is the link with the most manpower input. In Yuan Zelu’s words, "Concentrate superior forces on the whole industrial chain to control from top to bottom, because the source is the easiest to hide problems, and we should control the quality from the source at all costs. At the same time, Kuafu Fried String has carried out grading and hierarchical management of raw material factories, and has internal cycle evaluation every quarter, repeated assessment and repeated management. "

Second, warehouse distribution logistics link, Kuafu fried string adopts cold chain warehousing logistics. "I chose to cooperate with Parkson when I started my business. At that time, in order to ensure the freshness of food, my only choice was to choose a mature full cold chain logistics and leverage development. Now Kuafu Chuanchuan has three warehouses in the country, and all materials will enter this warehouse first, where they will be subject to collective verification, which is also a big part of our investment. "

The third is store management, which belongs to the more traditional food and beverage management and control link, mainly from the aspects of shop patrol supervision, monitoring and supervision, talent training and so on. These three links can be done repeatedly and continuously, which can reduce the security risk to a certain range. Even if there is a problem, it can be found in the first time through the traceability mechanism. At present, it is more about nip in the bud.

The future is the trend of snack bars.

Kuafu Fried String plans to open 3,000 new franchise stores this year. This goal looks very challenging, but it is actually carefully measured. It is estimated that half of the target will be achieved by old franchisees, and they are invited to open more new stores. In the second half of 2023, new stores opened by old franchisees have accounted for 40% of the company’s new franchisees, and this trend will continue this year. The single-store model of Kuafu Fried String has been verified by everyone, and it is very important for franchisees to make money and relax.

"The other half of the target will be completed by new franchisees, but I also hope that at least half of the new franchisees will come from mature catering franchisees, such as joining from the milk tea track." In addition, the company will pay attention to the improvement of product strength and increase product development this year. It is estimated that 7-8 products will be launched every month, and there will be about 80 products throughout the year. At the same time, we will focus on brand marketing and the creation of brand potential energy, and continue to define the sub-track of fried string.

Yuan Zelu said: "I have experienced three ventures. The first time I started a business, I developed a takeaway website in the university and crossed the river by feeling the stones. At that time, it was very green. The second time was in Master Xi, and this time I really entered the catering industry. The experience and cognition accumulated in those five years may not be available to many people in 20 years, which is very valuable. "

"The third venture was fried in Kuafu. At that time, the whole catering industry was popular with’ direct orthodoxy’, and only direct stores would be valued. I wanted to be a franchise store at that time. Someone once questioned whether I wanted to make quick money. But I decided at that time that the future must be the trend of small shops. The head milk tea brand has proved in a few years that excellent brands can develop healthily as franchise chains, and so can Kuafu fried skewers. "

"From this perspective, Kuafu’s mission is to’ provide better business models for entrepreneurs’, which is of great significance to me. I am starting a business for the third time now, and I hope that Kuafu’s string bombing is also my last venture. "

It’s hard to be a business. Kuafu will escort franchisees all the way, and will also provide a relocation subsidy for franchisees who close their stores due to poor site selection. More than half of these franchisees who have closed their stores have chosen to relocate and start again, which is a trust in the brand. "But franchisees should have a sense of responsibility. We welcome inexperienced’ Xiaobai’ to join, but we don’t welcome the shopkeeper." The person in charge of Kuafu Fried String said.

　 　 1905 movie network news The 57th Grammy Awards Ceremony was held in Los Angeles on February 8th, US local time and February 9th, Beijing time. This year’s red carpet show, Starlight Glimmer, featured many beautiful stars. Different from the past, kissing "flirting" was popular on the red carpet this year. kim kardashian and Lady GaGa kissed their male partners boldly, and Ariana Grande, a newly emerging little fresh meat, dressed up in a white dress and flirted with her male partners. Nicole Kidman, a movie star, was prescient and put her hand on her husband’s mouth to "forbid" kissing. This "show of love" is really forcing single dog to die.

　 　 Other actresses are still beautiful scenery without a male companion. Taylor Swift still remembers to show off her long legs like a model. Rihanna no longer plays cold and cold, but wears a long pink dress to look fresh. Compared with before, miley cyrus finally stopped "sticking out her tongue and revealing her milk" and wore a dress normally, but the black backless dress is sexy. Are you sure the color meets the age of "post-90 s"? Without the age advantage, Madonna, who is already "old", made a sexy appearance in a show of bursting breasts and showing her hips, Beyonce showed her "hemisphere" in a domineering black dress, paris hilton, a celebrity, showed her breasts in a long silver dress, and nicki minaj, a "spicy chicken", brushed her hair forward and turned it back. Katy Perry, the fruit elder sister, did not exaggerate the fruit shape, but dyed her purple hair instead. kaya jones was unwilling to be lonely, and combed her red buns to steal the camera. Those who don’t have "milking and dyeing their hair" can only wear an oversized long skirt to steal the mirror, but accidentally stealing the mirror is unsuccessful. Just like Princes Harris, wearing a black gauze skirt is like a black crow.

　 　 Apart from female stars, this year’s male stars are really not worth watching, but they are still worth watching for the audience in China. Lang Lang, the "Piano Prince", won glory for his country and is expected to perform at the Grammy Awards this year. Although the shape on the red carpet show is not as "stunning" as that of Zhang Jiebao, who has gone abroad before, people in this country are still very much looking forward to it.

Sam smith won four prizes and became a big winner "Fruit Sister" to accompany Grammy 7 times.

　 　 The opening song of the award ceremony was performed by Australian rock group AC/DC, and "Rock or Bust" and the classic single "High way to Hell" were played live! If ginger is still old and spicy, the audience will bring a bright little red corner to help when playing, which will stir up the atmosphere at the scene. The first award was announced by Taylor Swift, and finally sam smith won it. He was the biggest winner in this Grammy. In addition, as we all know, "Mouldy Mould" is a superstar on the stage, but it becomes a small fan in a second under the stage. No matter who performs, it is very popular to swing with the music, and this time is no exception, and it is still awkward. Later, Farrell teamed up with Lang Lang to perform the hit single "Happy". After the performance, Lang Lang also communicated with Madonna and took a photo with Jay Z. In addition, Ariana Grande, a popular female singer, performed a new single Just A Little Bit of Your Heart, which was included in her second album My Everything last year. Katy Perry, the fruit sister who accompanied the Grammy for seven times, sang a lyrical new single "By the Grace of God". After reading it, she really wanted to say, "Ask the judges for an award".

　 　 Grammy regulars Lady GaGa and old artist Tony Bennet performed the theme song Cheek to Cheek in the Top Hat by Fred Astaire, the king of jazz dance. "Ga Jie" was elegant and jazz this time, and it was retro and unplugged. Hosted by Miley and Spicy Chicken, Madonna "Tianhou" appeared on the stage, making her debut in the new album Rebelhart, featuring the first single Living For Love. Grandma Mai is now 57 years old, but her singing and dancing are still hot and sexy, and her voice is still so great! Rihanna performed their new single "Four Five Seconds" together with "Kanye" Kanye Omari West. It is worth mentioning that "Japanese woman" wore a men’s interpretation of the single. Although the pink dress was fresh on the red carpet, the performance revealed Rihanna’s nature, and the men’s clothing was still cool and cool. At the end of the day, Beyonce made a stunning finale, singing the classic gospel song "Take My Hand Precious Lord" and singing the soundtrack song "Glory" with other singers who attended the tribute.

　 　 In this Grammy nomination, British newcomer sam smith and American diva Beyonce led the way with six nominations. Among them, sam smith, who just released her first solo album, swept all the nominations for four general awards. In the last six nominations, he won four awards, including single of the year, production of the year, new artist of the year and pop album of the year, and was the biggest winner of this year’s Grammy Awards. In addition, when this year’s nomination list was first exposed, it was surprising that Lady GaGa’s "Art Pop" only appeared in the nomination for the best traditional pop album, but after learning that she was nominated for only one award, Lady Gaga still shared her joy on twitter. Give her a compliment for her generosity. At least she didn’t angrily announce that she wouldn’t attend the awards ceremony because her album wasn’t nominated for the album, as justin timberlake did last year.

　 　 Except for Lady GaGa, Fruit Sister was nominated for the Best Pop Album Award by Prism this year, but it was finally won by sam smith, and the Best Pop Group Award nominated by Dark Horse with Juicy J was also won by A Great Big World. However, since 2011, "Sister Fruit" has been nominated by Grammy every year, but missed the "Little Horn" award every year. She still runs with me this year, and has become the "Little Plum" Leonardo DiCaprio in music. After 7 years of professional running, it is no wonder that BiBi Zhou has to "swear" to defend his idol in Weibo, saying, "Damn it. Don’t hack my fruit sister again. If you don’t give a prize after running for seven years, you will summon the dragon next year. "

Sam smith’s fame experience

　 　 Born in London, England on May 19th, 1992, he joined the British Youth Music Troupe in 2007 and participated in "Oh! Carol "performance. In 2012, the single Latch by Sam and Decryption Brothers was released, and on May 19th, 2013, the single La La La Sam and Naughty Boys was released, reaching the top of the UK singles charts and ranking 11th in the UK singles charts. In January, 2014, Sam became the champion of BBC TV’s "Voice of the Year". Since then, like his predecessors, he has stepped towards Grammy with solid singing skills and unique style. In May 2014, Sam officially came out, admitted that he was gay, and said that his first album was about his unrequited love.

　　CCTV News:Nowadays, the network world is vast and wonders. In terms of insurance types, "wonderful risks" such as exams and stickers are also emerging one after another. How much do you know about these various internet insurances? The China Insurance Regulatory Commission has issued risk warnings, and some types of insurance even have the nature of gambling and are suspected of gambling.

　　Network insurance set off a craze "wonderful insurance" came into being.

　　Before the advent of the Internet, most insurance policies covered a long period, usually in years or at least in months. However, with the popularity of smart phones, users can buy insurance products conveniently and quickly at any time and any place, and the acquisition and sales costs of insurance companies are also greatly reduced.

　　Since 2016, the online platform has set off an "insurance boom". In the main gathering areas of Internet insurance, there are not only traditional insurance online, such as account insurance, auto insurance, travel insurance, health insurance and accident insurance, but also the representative products of Internet innovative insurance — — E-commerce insurance.

　　In addition, all kinds of "exotic risks" have sprung up. There are love insurance, food insurance, acne insurance for young people, overtime insurance, lottery insurance, illegal sticker insurance for office workers, and even insurance for forgetting to wear long trousers, preventing small accidents and helping the elderly, which surprised many people.

　　The underwriting process of product promotion is not standardized.

　　In July 2017, the Inspection Bureau of the China Insurance Regulatory Commission notified six typical Internet risk cases within the insurance industry. Among them, an insurance regulatory bureau in a certain place found that many well-known domestic online travel service companies with the qualification of third-party online insurance platform had problems such as nonstandard naming of insurance products, incomplete information disclosure, lack of insurance underwriting review, and failure to provide insurance documents in the process of promoting products and underwriting.

　　Some insurance products attract people’s attention when they are advertised and sold, such as "marriage insurance", "check-out insurance", "helping the elderly" and "Xiong Haizi insurance", but their essence is still accident insurance and liability insurance. These insurance products, whose names are simplified at will, are not only inconsistent with the regulatory requirements, but also ambiguous or misleading, which can easily lead to consumer disputes.

　　In addition, its underwriting process is not standardized. The underwriting interface of some third-party online sales platforms is relatively simple. You only need to enter the basic information of the insured or the insured to complete the insurance and the contract will come into effect. The insurance process has not gone through the underwriting procedures of the insurance company, and the important insurance clauses such as exemption clauses have not been explained or informed. The relevant insurance companies did not actively provide consumers with valid insurance vouchers and charging vouchers, but only informed consumers of the effectiveness of the policy and the amount of charges by SMS.

　　"Wonderful Insurance" is risky or suspected of fraudulent fund-raising gambling.

　　In fact, "wonderful insurance" itself also has many risks.

　　First of all, these insurance types may be suspected of fraud and illegal fund-raising, because the insurance types are not developed and sold by insurance institutions, and the insurance policies have no legal effect;

　　Second, because the "target" of insurance has no rules to follow, and the pricing and terms are not supported by risk data, buying such insurance is suspected of online gambling with gambling nature;

　　Third, the "exotic insurance" products may not be worthy of the name, which will damage the rights and interests of consumers if the terms are unclear and the relevant information disclosure of insurance institutions is incomplete and insufficient;

　　Finally, personal information may be lost or leaked, because the network "Qiqi Insurance" will put customers’ private data on the public "cloud" server, and sometimes there may be improper maintenance of its own information system.

　　The main purpose of analyzing "exotic insurance" in the industry is to "catch the eye". After all, the cake in the insurance market is so big, and most of it has been occupied by large insurance companies. Small insurance companies that can’t get the cake can only take a slant and launch some products that other insurance companies don’t have to grab market segments.

　　Lawyer’s statement: Strictly speaking, it is a "gambling agreement"

　　In view of the essence of "exotic insurance", people in the legal profession believe that in a strict sense, such a transaction cannot be called "insurance", but a gambling agreement based on personal wishes. And "Qiqi Insurance" has no insurance policy, and the online shop is a kind of existence between virtual and reality. Consumers get more verbal promises. Once the "compensation" is not implemented, it is often difficult to defend the rights of such small disputes to virtual existence.

　　 ● Regional restrictions on insurance coverage

　　The products purchased by insurance companies in official website are mostly restricted by regions, and cross-regional services may not be realized due to regional economic conditions and the establishment of branches of insurance companies. And some products are special products for specific regions, and even some products are different in different regions, and the insured amount is different. In addition, the insured area is not available in the whole country, and generally does not include Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

　　● Effective time of policy.

　　The protection provided by insurance will be effective only after the policy comes into effect, but the effective time of Internet insurance is not uniform, and some funds will take effect immediately after successful transfer, such as flight extension insurance. Some are the same as traditional insurance, and the contract is established, and the first premium is successfully deducted and the insurance policy is issued at 0: 00 the next day, while others need to wait a few days. After online insurance, we should pay attention to whether the policy is issued successfully and the specific effective time of the policy after it is issued successfully.

　　● Health insurance medical treatment restrictions

　　Health insurance (critical illness, medical insurance, etc.) is required for medical hospitals, usually public hospitals with level 2 or above. Some products will increase the number of other medical institutions recognized by insurance companies, and only in these places can you get a claim for medical treatment. Some products will clearly list the hospitals that do not pay for medical treatment, which is subject to the insurance instructions of the insured products.

　　● Small self-service claims

　　There are two ways to claim compensation for Internet insurance. One is to call the insurance company to report the case and prepare the materials to apply for compensation at the company counter, just like the insurance purchased through traditional channels. The other is to upload the materials to the Internet and apply for compensation directly through the insurance company official website or official WeChat. For small claims, different products and different insurance platforms have different limits. If the amount of claims meets the relevant conditions, you can upload information on the mobile terminal to make self-help claims.
