With the story of texture and temperature, this film will also become a rare warm-hearted masterpiece in spring.
The only soul healing movie in the same period, the dog takes the lead, not abusing the heart, but warming the heart.
With the coming of blockbusters, the China film industry officially started the Hollywood blockbuster month model in March. After being bombarded by gorgeous special effects of various blockbusters, the audience is inevitably tired of aesthetics. As the only warm-hearted healing work in the same period, A Dog’s Purpose has made the audience feel refreshed by the strong sound and visual effects for a long time, and it has a kind of comfort and comfort. This warm-hearted work has become a clean stream among many Hollywood blockbusters with its warm and soft temperament. It truly depicts the warm memories of dogs and human beings. Compared with a series of films focusing on heart abuse, such as "Romance between Men and Dogs 2", "A Dog’s Purpose" warms the heart without heart abuse, and is warm without emotion. It can be said that it is the only film in the same period that really hits people’s hearts and heals the soul.
Oscar-nominated directors devote themselves to directing a new interpretation after eight years.
A Dog’s Purpose was directed by Lars Holstrom, a famous Hollywood director. His films have always been famous for their delicate and rich emotional portrayal, and he was nominated for the Best Director Award twice. Compared with his famous films, the director was praised as "the best director in the world who can shoot dogs" because he built a world-famous Akita dog. After eight years, the director once again focused on dogs, and the target changed from one to four, from Jin Mao and De Mu to Keji and Saint Bernard. The fully upgraded dog lineup has completely become an encyclopedia of the dog world, and the brand-new experience brought by dogs has upgraded the warmth between dogs and people in geometric progression. The golden combination of the director who can shoot dogs best and the dog who can sell cute dogs best has made "A Dog’s Purpose" attract much attention since it started shooting. This landing in China naturally grabbed the attention of China fans.
Hollywood drama bone partner new generation Xiaohua strength lineup escort to ensure quality
The combination of the director and the dog actor is enough to make the fans excited, and in order to set off this interaction between people and dogs, the film also invites many powerful actors to join. Dennis Quaid, a famous Hollywood actor, plays middle-aged Ethan in the film. He has starred in classic films. Britt Robertson, the female No.1 who enjoys thousands of loves, plays Ethan’s first girlfriend. The fledgling star in the film can play opposite George Clooney, and its popularity in Hollywood can be seen; Josh Gad, the "Xuebao" in the film, has won the Annie Award for Best Animated Dubbing for his role. Presumably, every China movie fan has been made laugh by Xuebao, which he performed with all his strength. This time, the dubbing of the dog is to carry on selling cute. No matter which movie they appear in, the new generation of power, such an old play partner, is a combination of luxury and luxury, and they are willing to be big green leaves for dogs, which shows the extraordinary charm of dogs.
The theme of pets attracts attention to Meng Chong’s four lives and four lives.
Dogs have always been regarded as the most loyal friends of human beings and the first choice among many pets. Japan, Europe, America and other countries have made touching and unforgettable movies about pets, such as "Ten Agreements with Dogs", which have won good reputation and box office. This time, A Dog’s Purpose, with the unique setting of four generations of dogs, created a unique cute movie, which was not too emotional and tearful, and gave humans and dogs a more happy ending. While conveying positive values, it will heal the hearts of every pet owner. Based on W Bruce Cameron’s best-selling novel of the same name, the film tells the story of a dog, Bailey, who has been reborn many times, looking for different missions in the cycle of life, and finally returns to his original owner. Ethan, a little boy, saved Bailey with the help of his mother and brought him home. They were inseparable for more than ten years. Dogs have added more vitality to this family and become a bond to maintain the family’s emotions. The film tells everything, and it has a strong emotional power that is plain but can touch people’s hearts, which has aroused the emotional resonance of countless people! Some netizens said, "If you read the preview, you will be moved into a dog. You must take your family to see it once after the release!"!
People and pets stay with each other, focusing on reality and passing on love and responsibility.
The theme of film interpretation is not only the emotion and companionship between people and pets, but also reflects the core problem of the relationship between people and pets in real life. The world is big, and I only have you. Dogs give their all to their owners, but in today’s real life, our time with pets is very limited. The cute appearance of a dog often makes people make a decision to raise a dog in a moment. After the initial sweetness, there is a neglect of the dog for work. "A Dog’s Purpose" gives the warmest reminder of this kind of care for pets. Through the mouth of the hero’s mother in the film, the film says "Don’t keep a dog on impulse, but take care of it", which is full of positive energy. This warm human care teaches us to take responsibility, cherish the good time with dogs, and even smash the heavy keyword "responsibility" into the minds of fans in the most moist and silent way.
Dogs matchmaking when the matchmaker master and first love meet after many years to regain love.
In addition, the film presents the main story line from the dog’s perspective, and at the same time tells the wonderful fate between the dog Bailey and the hero and heroine. Bailey helped Ethan, the young master, successfully strike up a conversation with the girl he liked. He also grew up from a cute puppy to a real golden retriever, bringing sweetness to the world of three. After decades of separation from his master and his first love, Bailey, the dog, reunited them for many years. In this era full of "fast food love", there is still sincere love that can stand the test of years. The film undoubtedly sets a good example for us who are eager to find true love.
People say goodbye to pets and become heavy tear gas. The dog’s "ten years of life" laughs with tears.
Ten years of mankind is a dog’s life. The conversion of dog and human age "ten years and a lifetime" is embarrassing. In the film, when the owner accompanied the dog to the end of his life, the desperate and helpless eyes and the subtle emotional changes that made people feel distressed were vividly reflected on the screen. The film does not avoid the pain of where will you go between human and dogs, but gives hope to everyone who has owned a pet with a novel setting. Dogs just changed their previous appearance, and will accompany their owners in a brand-new way to continue their love. This brand-new setting makes A Dog’s Purpose the most unique film of its kind, and it also gives dog lovers a brand-new understanding and feeling about this sad thing of where will you go. Tears bombs and warm-hearted bombs are bombarded alternately, which makes fans experience the ultimate experience of smiling with tears in their eyes.
It is reported that "A Dog’s Purpose" was directed by Lars Holstrom, and besides Josh Gad who voiced the dog, Peggy Lipton, Dennis Quaid and Britt Robertson also participated in the film. On March 3, the national cinema was released.

Does the light want to shoot a new "three-body"? The "three-body universe" is far more than that.
The annual report of light shows that "Three-body" (new) is in the early planning stage.
Special feature of 1905 film network The movie "Three-body" is coming! In the 2019 annual report released recently, Light Media mentioned that there are currently 40 films in the preparation/production stage, among which "Three-body" is impressively listed, and the word "new" in brackets is fascinating.
At the same time, producer Bai Yiqi also revealed the latest progress of the "Three-body" series at the Young Producers Forum of the 2020 Spring Fair held recently: it will start shooting in June.
Coupled with the 9.7-point animation "My Three-body Chapter Beihai Biography" which exploded in the circle of friends at the beginning of the year, the "Three-body" animation which released PV last year, and the "Three-body" radio drama and cartoon, illustration set, physical exhibition and other forms, a more grand and three-dimensional "Three-body Universe" is quietly rising inside and outside the big screen, and it has also accumulated valuable experience for the development of domestic sci-fi IP.
"seven-year dystocia" and "new trisomy"
The film "Three-body", which was established in 2013 and started in 2015, is still a permanent injury in the hearts of many filmmakers and sci-fi fans.
In 2009, Liu Cixin sold the film adaptation right of the novel Three-body to director Panpan Zhang at a price close to that of cabbage. In 2014, this right was transferred to the Youzu Film Industry.
Although China Film has expressed its willingness to buy the adaptation rights of Three-body, there are also rumors that Amazon has invested huge sums of money to win the adaptation rights in 2018, but today, the "control" of the global film and television adaptation of Three-body is still firmly in the hands of the tourist film industry.
At the end of 2014, Youzu Film Company announced that "Three-body" would be put on the big screen and directed by Panpan Zhang. It plans to adapt three novels into six series films, with a single investment of more than 200 million yuan. Subsequently, the film released the cast led by William Feng, Zhang Jingchu, WU GANG, Tang Yan, Du Chun, Hans Zhang and Zhang Guangbei.
Judging from the main creative line-up, director Panpan Zhang’s previous representative works are thrillers such as the first class, and he lacks experience in handling such a large amount of science fiction films. It can be said that since the establishment of the project, the film "Three-body" has been questioned.
In August 2015, the real-life shooting part of the first part of "Three-body" was officially finished, which also opened the most difficult post-production process. In the meantime, although there are many materials exposed, it is accompanied by countless true and false rumors and storms such as "special effects are not as expected, materials are scrapped, teams are replaced in the later period, and core creators leave".
"Three-body" shooting scene photo
In November, 2016, producer Kong Xiangzhao released Weibo’s statement that "Three-body film will definitely come out within one year", but more than three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he himself has left the Youzu film industry.
Director Panpan Zhang’s official Weibo also stayed in the June 2016 "rumor" copy. In the comment area, there are still fans who "greet" regularly. "Big Brother, it’s been four years. Why hasn’t the movie been released yet?"
For this "six-year" dystocia film "Three-body", Light once participated in this project in the form of "investment+distribution", but in the film list of the semi-annual report in 2019, this project was once removed.
Nowadays, "Three-body" has returned to the film list with a "new" word, and it is listed as being in the early stage of planning, which may mean that the film version of "Three-body" will change its course and go into battle again.
The heroine of the original "Three-body" movie was Zhang Jingchu.
Weibo, the official of "Three-body Comics", also issued a document on April 26th, saying: "The new" Three-body Comics "film will start shooting: it will be prepared for four years, and the director (unpublished) hopes that the special effects of the picture can restore the scenes shown in the novel."
In the upsurge that swept the film market, the hasty launch of "Three-body" was more like the product of the birth of capital. At that time, both the director, the producer and the China market were far from having the experience and strength to control such a magnitude project as Three-body film, and failure and stranding were inevitable.
Nowadays, with the success and the maturity of the whole industrial chain of domestic sci-fi movies, the time for "Three-body" movies to "come to life" may be coming.
"three-body universe"
After the film version of "Three-body", in recent years, the tourist film industry is gradually adjusting the development model of "Three-body", an IP-rich mine. From animation, radio drama, immersion exhibition to drama, film and derivative development, a more systematic and three-dimensional "three-body universe" is taking shape.
1. drama series
The TV series Three-body was officially established in May 2019, with 24 episodes and a production cycle of 12 months. It is not difficult to see from the summary that the plot will revolve around the first novel of Three-body. According to producer Bai Yiqi, the drama version will start shooting in June this year.
In the interview, Bai Yiqi once bluntly said that it is not difficult to adapt the script of Three-body. "First, the story is jumping and changing back and forth in several time and space; Second, there is no serious female number one and no CP. " However, he also said that compared with the latter two films, the first film has relatively few high-concept elements, so it is a wise choice to start from this.
Due to the epidemic, the boot time was extended from March to June, which also gave the team more time to read and polish the script. How the drama story will unfold, and which actors will join in, so we are looking forward to it.
2. Animation
At the beginning of this year, "My Three-body Chapter Beihai Biography" was officially launched in bilibili, and it continued to be screened, with a total broadcast volume of 31.345 million times. It was successfully circled with the excellent reputation of bilibili’s 9.9 points and Douban’s 9.7 points, and was widely reported by the media. Frankly speaking: "Three-body" was finally filmed! "
Biography of Zhang Beihai is the third part of my three-body series. In the first film in 2014, the director was still an animation layman. With a passion for "Three-body", he made this "rice animation" by himself. Although the painting style was rough, it unexpectedly won the praise of fans and attracted the attention of the tourist film industry.
The first part of My Three-body is relatively rough.
In 2016, the "Wandering in All directions" team officially joined the tourist film industry, and successively released Biography of Luo Ji and Biography of Zhang Beihai, completing the identity transformation from grassroots to regular army, and also realizing the "explosion" visible to the naked eye in animation technology.
According to reports, the production cost of Zhang Beihai Biography has increased to 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a minute. The "Doomsday Battle" scene, which was the most amazing scene for fans, lasted for ten minutes, and it took a year to polish it.
What’s more worth mentioning is that the Biography of Zhang Beihai does not stick to the original work, but breaks and reconstructs the original narrative with characters as clues, and reasonably adds new plots to make the characters fuller.
Zhang Beihai Biography adds childhood stories and makes the characters more stereoscopic.
A "natural selection number, forward four!" It triggered a collective "climax" in the barrage area. With the seemingly simple square figures, the epic and tragic colors of the original work are captured, which is the real reason why Me Three conquered fans.
The unprecedented success of the "rice system" animation has also made fans feel sorry for the "regular army" — — Three-body Universe, Art Painting Kaitian and bilibili jointly developed the animated version of Three-body, which raised the expected value.
In June last year, the first concept propaganda video of "Three-body" was exposed, which triggered a heated discussion. The video condenses several classic pictures in the novel "Three-body", especially in the second "Dark Forest".
"Space Elevator" in Concept Video
Although the artistic style and special effects of the promotional film are still in the conceptual stage, the design of "space elevator" and "space station" still makes sci-fi fans see sincerity. Only the last sentence: "I, Luo Ji, who faces the wall, now speak to the three-body world." It is enough to make fans’ blood boil.
At the beginning of this year, Art Painting Kaitian Studio in Wuhan also reported the safety to fans through VLOG, saying that all the staff were healthy and well. The script development, art design and asset development of "Three-body" animated drama are progressing steadily and will meet with netizens as planned in 2021.
Xu Yao, CEO of Three-body Universe, once said: "Animation has its own unique form of expression compared with conventional live-action movies. In particular, an IP with a large number of high-concept pictures like a three-body will be bound by real-life performance. "
Now it seems that the animated version of "Three-body" is expected to "shine into reality" earlier than the real-life version, but it is still not easy to animate the grand world view of "Three-body". Polishing the script and restoring the original spirit of Three-body is a more important measure than the technical level.
3. Radio dramas, cartoons and more
In addition to the above-mentioned film and television adaptation, the "Three-body Radio Drama" project, which is a cooperation between the Three-body Universe and the Himalayas, has also received favorable comments since it was launched in December last year. The number of listeners exceeded 18 million and the number of subscriptions exceeded 400,000.
There are 6 seasons and 80 episodes of radio drama, each episode is 30 minutes. Such a long serial is rare in the domestic audio industry. The dubbing team is the top 729 workshop in the industry. The famous voice actor Ajie voiced Wang Miao in it.
On the basis of being faithful to the original work, the radio drama divides and reorganizes the plot, cuts out a large section of inner monologues and professional introductions, focuses on vivid dialogues, and cooperates with multi-level sound effects to enable the audience to "enter the play in one second". Even Liu Cixin praised the radio drama as "both familiar and fresh."
In addition, Tencent’s animation platform launched the comic version of "Three-body" last year, and the sales volume of "Three-body Art Illustration Collection" also exceeded 30,000 copies. In January this year, the large-scale immersion exhibition project of Santi also landed in Shanghai. The Three-body Universe also launched the official flagship store of the Three-body to develop and sell derivatives, with more than 16,000 fans.

"Three-body" official flagship store
The novel Three-body with more than 800,000 words constructs an incomparably grand view of the world, and also provides a vast imagination space for IP development.
If "filmization" is the tip of the pyramid of IP development, then more down-to-earth efforts are needed in the process of climbing the ladder. Once upon a time, quick success and instant benefit were not desirable. From easy to difficult, from simple to complex, systematic and sustainable development is the right way.
Facing the dystocia of the movie "Three-body", Liu Cixin, the original author, is particularly indifferent: "Science fiction movies involve a lot of money and special effects, which take time. Asimov’s series, Arthur Clarke’s Meet Rama, and many other authors’ works, many of which have been in film and television operation for forty or fifty years now. My work has not been running for a long time. "
To quote the saying from Galaxy the legend of heroes that science fiction fans often talk about: "Our journey is a sea of stars", and now it is only the first step of the long March.

Tank 300 | Ruiyi is exquisite and bright.
Today, I will introduce a tank 300 named "Ruiyi Exquisite". As a brand-new off-road SUV customized product launched by ROCARS Design in 2023, it follows the ROCARS family concept as a whole.

Ruiyi Exquisite, from the name, can reflect the main characteristics of the whole vehicle-exquisiteness. Different from other modified tank 300, Ruiyi Exquisite has both the muscle lines of a tough guy and the appearance skin of a gentleman. The whole is dominated by silver and rose gold, and the rhombic lattice air intake grille; Carbon fiber raised roof; With the tough body and brand-new wheel eyebrows, the muscle lines of the whole car are more obvious. While widening the original wheel cover, the original wheel hub is replaced, which improves the wear resistance and grip of the original car and enables the whole car to perform better.

On the basis of the original car, Ruiyi exquisitely installed a high ceiling and four strip-shaped daily working lights; Carbon fiber falcon wing spoiler is installed at the rear of the tail; The position of the original spare tire has also been changed to an independent suspension storage box, equipped with a double password lock and a mini hydraulic contraction lever. It not only improves the practicability of the whole vehicle, but also makes its appearance more atmospheric.


Ruiyi’s exquisite outer contour also has a small detail, and the unique carbon fiber and rose gold dividing line highlights the outer contour on both sides; Just like the collar clip on a suit, one is the regularity of the tie itself, and the other is the popular taste of the user. Carbon fiber is used for quality and safety reasons, and the other is to add excellent embellishment to the contours on both sides.

I have to say that the practicality of tank 300 is too high! Whether walking between cities or outdoors, you are the king on the road.

Strengthen the party’s centralized and unified leadership over network information work
Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "We must take a clear-cut stand and unswervingly adhere to the party’s management of the Internet, strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee on the work of online information, and ensure that the cause of online information always advances in the right direction." "Excerpts from the Supreme Leader’s Discourse on the Network Power" edited by the Central Party History and Literature Research Institute takes "Strengthening the Party’s Centralized and Unified Leadership over the Network Information Work" as the first topic, and includes the relevant expositions of the Supreme Leader. Seriously studying these important expositions is of great significance for us to strengthen and improve the party’s leadership over the network information work and promote the high-quality development of the network information work.
First, deeply understand the great significance of strengthening the party’s centralized and unified leadership over network information work.
Adhere to and develop the inherent requirements of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.The most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, and the Party is the highest political leadership. All our undertakings are based on this foundation and rooted in this most essential feature and greatest advantage. One of the most threatening tactics used by some western countries to implement the strategy of westernization and differentiation in China is to vilify the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership in an attempt to disturb our thoughts. On the fundamental issue of upholding the party’s leadership, we must be firm, otherwise it will have subversive consequences. Network information work is a very important part of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s great cause. "Network security and informatization are related to the long-term governance of the party, the long-term stability of the country, the economic and social development and the well-being of the people". Comrade Supreme Leader stressed: "We should plan the online information work in the overall cause of the party and the state, and earnestly strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the party."
The inevitable choice to meet the challenges of network information security and informatization.The world today is experiencing a great change that has never happened in a hundred years, and the unstable and uncertain factors have obviously increased. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, which goes hand in hand with the great changes that have never happened in a hundred years and becomes the driving force for its development, is developing in depth and gestating new major breakthroughs. The major countries in the world regard the Internet as the focus of economic development and technological innovation, and the Internet as the strategic direction to seek new competitive advantages. A new all-round comprehensive national strength competition with information network technology as the core is in full swing all over the world, and the competition for cyberspace development dominance and network-making rights is becoming increasingly fierce. The supreme leader is indifferent to the development trend and competitive situation of the world Internet, and profoundly points out: "In today’s world, whoever grasps the Internet will grasp the initiative of the times; Whoever despises the internet will be abandoned by the times. To a certain extent, it can be said that those who get the internet get the world. " He repeatedly stressed: "If you can’t pass the Internet, you can’t pass the long-term ruling." Some people try to make the Internet the biggest variable in contemporary China, and we must be highly vigilant. We must strengthen the party’s leadership, resolutely fight a tough battle to prevent and resolve major risks in network security and informatization, and provide solid security for realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The major task of promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and our country’s national governance is facing many new tasks and requirements, which inevitably requires the Socialism with Chinese characteristics system and the national governance system to be more perfect and constantly developed. The development of network information technology has brought many new problems to national governance that can not be ignored and need to be solved urgently. For example, with the continuous development of new technologies and applications of the Internet and the increasing social mobilization function of the Internet, how to strengthen cyberspace governance according to law and establish a comprehensive network governance system; How to strengthen the construction of network content and create a clean and tidy network space; How to strictly guard against cyber crimes, especially new cyber crimes, and maintain social harmony and stability; How to strengthen the construction of big data platform and promote the refinement and intelligence of social governance, and so on. With the development of network information technology, Internet governance will follow. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "Information is an important basis for national governance, and it should play an important role in this process", and "the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity should be promoted by informationization". Improving the level of network governance and promoting the construction of the Internet is itself the proper meaning of our party in promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Strengthening the party’s centralized and unified leadership over online information work has become an important aspect of improving the party’s long-term ruling ability.
Second, strengthen institutional mechanisms and capacity building.
Improve and perfect the system and mechanism of the party’s leading network letter work.After the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, starting from the great struggle with many new historical features, the CPC Central Committee attached importance to, developed and governed the Internet, set up a central leading group for cyber security and informatization, coordinated and coordinated major issues concerning informatization and cyber security in political, economic, cultural, social and military fields, made a series of major decisions and arrangements, and promoted the historic achievements of China’s cyber information industry. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to build a network power, a digital China and a smart society, and the Third Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed to strengthen and optimize the Party’s leadership over network information work. These are all major decisions made by the CPC Central Committee from the overall development of the cause of the party and the country. The decision of the CPC Central Committee to change the Central Leading Group for Cybersecurity and Informatization into a committee is to strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "It is necessary to give full play to the decision-making and overall coordination role of the Central Cyber Security and Informatization Committee, and set the tone, make a decision and urge on key issues, complex issues and difficult issues." The Committee is a decision-making and deliberation coordination body. The specific work should be promoted by the Central Network Information Office, and relevant departments should also play a good role.
The Internet is a net, and the work of online information should be a chess game.The supreme leader comrade stressed that it is necessary to speed up the construction of the three-level work system of network information, implement the dual management system of the main responsible comrades of local network information departments, and ensure the linkage between the upper and lower levels and the prohibition of orders. All localities and departments should attach great importance to online information work, incorporate it into key work plans and important agendas, listen to reports regularly, strengthen policy research, increase investment in all aspects, and solve new situations and problems in a timely manner. It is necessary to give full play to the advantages of organizations such as workers, youth and women, give full play to the role of enterprises, research institutes and think tanks, and gather all social forces in Qi Xin to work together to promote the work of online information.
Improve the ability to use the network to manage the network.In the contemporary era, if you don’t understand the Internet and are not good at using it, you can’t work effectively. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "We should strengthen the ability of reform and innovation, maintain the spirit of forge ahead, be good at promoting work creatively in combination with reality, and be good at using Internet technology and information technology to carry out our work." Leading cadres at all levels should actively adapt to the requirements of informationization, strengthen Internet thinking, learn, understand and use the Internet, and actively plan, promote and guide the development of the Internet. It is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between security and development, openness and autonomy, management and service, and constantly improve the ability to grasp the laws of the Internet, guide online public opinion, control the development of information technology, and ensure network security, so as to continuously push forward the construction of a network power.
Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "We must scientifically understand the law of network communication, accurately grasp the generation and evolution mechanism of online public opinion, constantly promote the innovation of work concepts, methods and means, carrier channels and institutional mechanisms, improve the level of network governance, and make the biggest variable of the Internet the biggest increment of career development." He stressed that leading cadres at all levels should enhance their ability to deal with the media and constantly improve their ability and level of governing the country. He keenly captured the development status and trend of blockchain technology and emphasized the need to improve the ability to use and manage blockchain technology.
Improve the working ability of the network masses.Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "Being good at using the Internet to understand public opinion and carry out work is the basic skill for leading cadres to do a good job under the new situation." We should take the online mass line well, improve our ability to organize, publicize, guide and serve the masses through the Internet, and make the Internet a new platform for us to communicate with the masses, a new way to understand the masses, be close to them and solve problems for them, and a new channel to carry forward people’s democracy and accept people’s supervision.
Third, ensure that the network letter business always advances in the right direction.
Adhere to the party’s principle of managing the media.Comrade Supreme Leader emphasized that the party’s management of the media means that all kinds of media at all levels are placed under the leadership of the party. It cannot be said that only the media directly controlled by the party can be ignored, and the principle of the party’s management of the media cannot be shelved. He pointed out: "Managing the Internet well is the key to controlling the position of news and public opinion under the new situation. The key point is to solve the problem of who will manage it and how to manage it." To implement the principle of the Party’s management of the media in the field of new media, all communication platforms engaged in news information services with media attributes and public opinion mobilization functions should be included in the scope of management, and all news information services and related business practitioners should implement access management. He attaches great importance to the development of media integration and emphasizes that party committees and governments at all levels should increase their support for media integration and development from the aspects of policies, funds and talents. Propaganda and management departments at all levels should reform and innovate the management mechanism, implement policies and measures to promote the development of media integration in the right direction.
Strengthen the construction of cadres.Promoting the healthy development of network information work is inseparable from an excellent cadre team. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: "Internet management is a highly political job, and stressing politics is the first requirement for the network information department." We must constantly strengthen the "Four Consciousnesses", persist in putting the party’s political construction in the first place, consciously safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, consciously maintain a high degree of unity with the Party Central Committee in ideological and political actions, and intensify efforts to build a good team and strictly manage the team in an all-round way. It is necessary to select and match leading cadres at all levels of network information, take stressing politics, understanding the network, daring to take responsibility and being good at innovation as important criteria, and truly select and use good cadres to provide strong organizational and team guarantee for the development of network information.
Do a good job in the party’s management of talents.Cyberspace competition, in the final analysis, is talent competition. Internet is a technology-intensive industry, and it is also one of the fastest fields of technology update. The development of China’s network information industry must fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of entrepreneurs, experts and scholars and scientific and technological personnel. Comrade Supreme Leader pointed out: Party committees and governments at all levels should respect knowledge and talents from the bottom of their hearts, create favorable conditions for talents to display their intelligence, create a relaxed environment and provide a broad platform. In particular, he stressed: our minds should turn around, and we should attach importance to both capital and talents, further increase the intensity of introducing talents, and further step forward the reform of the talent system and mechanism. . He repeatedly stressed the need to formulate measures to attract, train and retain talents, establish a personnel system, a salary system and a talent evaluation mechanism adapted to the characteristics of online information, and establish a flexible talent incentive mechanism so that talents can flow in an orderly and smooth manner.
Implement the party’s leadership in all aspects of the whole process of online information work.Comrade Supreme Leader stressed: We must implement the people-centered development thought, so that the people can have more sense of gain, happiness and security in the development of informatization; Take the road of governing the internet with China characteristics and strive to build China into a network power; Control the dominance of network ideology and resolutely win the struggle of network ideology; Strengthen the construction of Internet content and construct concentric circles online and offline; Improve the level of network security and build a strong national network security; Take the road of independent innovation and accelerate the breakthrough of core technologies in the information field; Give play to the driving and leading role of informatization in economic and social development, form new development momentum, shape new competitive advantages, and strive to achieve high-quality development; Promote the reform of the global governance system of the Internet and jointly build a community of cyberspace destiny. The second to ninth topics of "Excerpts from the Supreme Leader’s Discourse on Network Power" have profoundly expounded these and made strategic arrangements.

Review on the Management of Gree Electric’s 2022 Annual Board of Directors
() The business review of the Board of Directors in 2022 is as follows:
I. The industry in which the company is located during the reporting period.
1. Consumption field-The household appliance industry as a whole is under pressure, and consumption upgrading is promoted in multiple dimensions.
In 2022, the overall sales of home appliance industry was under pressure, and the market competition became more and more fierce. The penetration rate of emerging channels continues to grow, accelerating the integration of online and offline channels.
Gree Electric’s consumer products cover household air conditioners, HVAC, refrigerators, washing machines, water heaters, kitchen appliances and environmental products. In 2022, the company forged ahead in the challenges and changes, constantly consolidated its internal strength, upgraded its industry, deeply tapped consumer demand, and continued to provide users with innovative products to achieve steady growth in overall performance.
(1) The scale of the home appliance industry has declined.
In 2022, the export and domestic markets of the home appliance industry declined to varying degrees.
