Shooting Jin Yong’s novels is not afraid of being scolded. Zhang Jizhong claims to be "not a fragile person"

Special topic: picture channel


Zhang Jizhong


  BEIJING, Nov. 13 (Xinhua)-Producer Zhang Jizhong is familiar, questioned and even reviled by the public because of his persistent remake of Jin Yong’s dramas for ten years. The legendary swordsman, The Condor Heroes, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Duke Of Mount Deer, The Eight Dragons, sword stained with royal blood, and The Dragon Slayer, which is currently being filmed in Wudang Mountain, have brought him numerous controversies and criticisms. People can’t understand, why does he focus on these good things of the Chinese nation and refuse to let go? Why is it that almost all the people in the country are scolding him, but he can still be so rock-solid and unmoved? In November, 2008, Zhang Jizhong, a controversial figure, accepted an exclusive interview with the program "Phoenix Network Extraordinary Road". Although it was only a short hour, fortunately, he was honest enough with his chivalrous demeanor, and he even took the initiative to mention and give an account of many questions that people were puzzled, puzzled and concerned about.


  Responding to the remake: I shot Jin Yong’s novels because I like to have pleasure.


  Phoenix Net Extraordinary Road: Why do you keep remaking Jin Yong’s dramas?


  Zhang Jizhong: Actually, my purpose is not so clear. I just like Jin Yong’s works better. Secondly, I feel like a series of projects. When I was filming his novel, I felt a sense of pleasure. The humanistic spirit depicted in his novel, I think every play is different, and every play has its own wonderful place.


  I am a person who likes China culture very much. I really hope to spread China culture to everyone in such an entertaining way. No matter how much you accept it, you will accept it anyway. Even if you accept a little, it is our work. I think it is also meaningful, so we keep doing it.


  Phoenix Net Extraordinary Road: Are you going to keep filming like this? We have to finish the remaining films.


  Zhang Jizhong: I’m like this. Originally, I had this plan to make it into a group, that is, Mr. Jin Yong’s is relatively complete. But now I have to prepare for The Journey to the West, so if The Journey to the West shoots it, it will take up a lot of my time, and it will be impossible to shoot anything else for two or three years. Therefore, Jin Yong’s drama is here for a while.


  I think in the future, if I have the energy first, the time second, and someone third is willing to pay for it, then I am willing to shoot it.


  Responding to being scolded: "I" is not a very fragile person. I care about whether I am satisfied or not when I shoot Jin Yong’s drama.


  "Phoenix Net Extraordinary Road": Do you know that many people scold you online? How can you be completely unmoved?


  Zhang Jizhong: First of all, I don’t read it very much. First of all, I don’t have time to browse these online. I am very concerned about what netizens say about me. I don’t think it matters. You said what you thought of me, and then it got in my mood or something. I don’t think so. I think when we do these things, firstly, we have no more selfish interests, right? I don’t think so. I just like Jin Yong’s works, and I just do this job. It is the biggest gain for me that I can do something I like so much. I am not filming for some people, or I am filming for someone. I really don’t read what those comments are, just like what I said on the Internet a few days ago. I feel that I am crying and laughing. I didn’t look for them, and I don’t know where they are. I don’t think these things will affect me.


  In fact, I also have a lot of netizens who are very concerned about me, young people who are filming. They are very rude when they talk, but I can accept it. I can see their expectations of me from this sharpness. I also have some exchanges with them, such as short messages. Sometimes I will say something, and I will forget about it, because a few short sentences can’t explain many complicated phenomena. Just like there are a lot of people who are scolding me and saying why I don’t look for it (who will play who), in fact, I don’t need to explain it, because there are many factors layer by layer.


  Phoenix Net Extraordinary Road: Are you a real person at heart?


  Zhang Jizhong: Yes, I’m not a very fragile person. I’m called a silly person. I don’t think it’s necessary to be so precise when I do things. You said I was going to haggle over whether Jin Yong was satisfied or not, who was satisfied or not, my teacher and my classmates were satisfied or not, so I couldn’t live. So I think the first thing is whether I am satisfied or not. There is nothing wrong with our direction. Our direction is a catharsis of China’s traditional culture, right? Excellent traditional culture.


  Responding to the hype: We are interdependent with the media.


  "Phoenix Net Extraordinary Road": It is said that Zhang Jizhong is good at hype, and you don’t agree with it. You said all the reporters came to see you, and you never invited them here. Then, you have suffered a lot from journalists, why do you always treat those journalists well and give interviews? Why not refuse?


  Zhang Jizhong: We (and the media) are interdependent. The reporter wants you, and his newspaper wants to survive. We also want to spread our creative ideas through these media. We didn’t talk about our gossip. When did we tell reporters about the gossip of our crew? Right? No. We are all talking about our creative ideas, and we all hope that a newspaper can correctly convey the connotation and meaning we want to express. There’s nothing wrong with that. However, some media like this kind of gossip, so you can’t help it. Many of them are nonsense, so I like having this camera very much. When you have a camera, he won’t distort you. Many times, it’s basically written. Some journalists are doing such things.


  We don’t mean to start a business by his hype, he is willing to do so. I think people have found you. I think people respect you. As for me, I don’t think I have much spectrum. Aren’t we just a TV producer? How big do you think you are? You said you had to put on airs with these young people. All journalists are young people. They want to eat. Do you think they can stop eating?


  What about some young people? You should also know that they also want to get ahead. Let’s just understand more. I think so. Because why? Let me tell you something. Once a girl from a newspaper and a reporter came to interview me. After she came in, she almost cried when she saw me. I said, what’s the matter with you? She said you don’t know. I was very nervous when I came here today. I was an intern reporter. I walked around for a long time and finally got up the courage to come in. I thought you were a very strict person, but after I came, I found that you were very kind to me. And then I was about to cry. I said don’t cry, don’t cry, that’s it.


  That girl actually gave me a big shock, because I was young, and we suffered a lot of rejections in the process of trying to join this ranks. I was just after the Cultural Revolution. Because of family background, you wanted to find a job. Because of political problems, no one would help you. I asked many people, but they were all rejected. So like these, I think, you say we must reject these young journalists? I don’t think it’s necessary. They want to eat. There is also the problem of positioning yourself, right? That is, you should not make yourself look like a person who is difficult to contact, so as to show your status or how. I don’t think so.

Breaking Through is showing the speed and passion, and he shot it!

Special feature of 1905 film network "We have the confidence and strength to strive for higher honor for the motherland!"Sports movies focusing on the first gold story of China Winter OlympicsBreaking ThroughIt’s showing.

 

The film tells the touching story of China’s short track speed skating national team, which finally stood on the highest podium with arduous training and unyielding will, in order to achieve the breakthrough of gold medal zero in the Winter Olympics.


 As the first short-track speed skating film shot by modern film means, Breaking Through team has developed a shooting system that combines real shooting with special effects almost from scratch. How to show the speed and passion of athletes and how to grasp the balance between art and sports? In this issue of Behind the Scene, let’s follow Breaking Through’s photography director Liu Yizeng to explore the world on ice.  

Professional athletes palm the mirror 

"Crossing the river by feeling the stones" is an apt saying to describe Breaking Through’s creative process. For the short track speed skating theme, there is no relevant case for reference. Liu Yizeng’s first thought was to let the photographer learn to skate, and he had to give up after practicing for a while. "I really can’t skate, my legs are no longer on myself." On the contrary, Liu Yizeng thought that it would be better to train professional skaters into photographers.

In this way, after two or three months of training, three "foreign photographers" made their debut. "Short track speed skating is extremely competitive. We want to really bring the audience to the arena. Let the athletes operate the camera to shoot, and the sense of immersion and presence is definitely the best, "Liu Yizeng said.

The training of this group of special photographers is mainly carried out from two aspects. First, the equipment guarantee, the team tailored a set of wearable photographic equipment for them to adapt to the special angle of skating. "In filming in Steadicam, moving lenses are very common, that is, hanging the camera with a vest. We also use a vest that fits well and a modified bracket to support the camera. We specially choose the resolution and comprehensive indicators, and it is also the lightest equipment."

On the other hand, these athletes should cultivate certain photographic thinking on the basis of mastering equipment skillfully. "At first, they did some actions in a mandatory way. Later, the camera sense became better and better. I already understood what you said was a little looser and tighter. What is this sense of rhythm? We have become more and more tacit."

When it comes to short track speed skating competition, the first thing that comes to mind is the scene of athletes competing for gold and silver in TV broadcast pictures. What’s the difference between TV language and movie language? This is also the core issue that Liu Yizeng and director Fangfang Wang first thought of. "We can’t let the audience into the cinema like watching TV, so we have different designs for each game. The overall logic is’ go high and go high’. " The so-called "walking on a high level" means that a large number of macro perspectives similar to TV broadcasts were adopted in the small competition at the beginning. Later, when the competition became more and more fierce and the athletes collided more and more, they began to focus on subjective perspectives, and magnified the dramatic key moments in the competition, giving the audience a sense of being there, breathing with the protagonist and fighting together. 

"black technology" helps out

In addition to the "vest" mentioned above, the Breaking Through crew also used and even invented a lot of "black technology" equipment. For example, in the real shooting on the ice, in order to shoot the zoom lens, a simple flat sliding device will be set up on the ice to simulate the sliding state and complete the close-up shooting of the face.

In order to capture the details of the feet and skates, the team skillfully used a rehabilitation device attached to the legs to link the back with the camera and record the moments full of impact.

The picture of john young winning the first gold medal in the Olympic Games and gliding with the national flag held high moved the audience, and a photographic system called "Spider" was indispensable behind it. "The machine is pulled by four Weiya ropes. We shoot a 360-degree panoramic view around the actor according to the speed, height and back of the actor, and then follow her to raise the national flag and become a panoramic view to show this exciting moment."

For some close-ups that are too difficult to shoot, the crew specially designed and built a huge and complex cage rotating device, which can move horizontally and vertically, simulate the state of athletes turning and overtaking in the stadium, and cooperate with the green screen to shoot special effects. Liu Yizeng explained that the significance of this device is not only to help the actors complete their professional movements, but also to provide real physical feedback to the actors through the inclination and movement of the crawler, so that their performances are more "fake". "This sense of reality has always been our goal."

The balance between truth and art

Breaking Through’s touching place lies not only in the exciting competition scene, but also in the delicate description of family, teacher-student relationship and love for the country. Liu Yizeng said frankly that there is no drama or action drama, and all shooting techniques should serve the overall audio-visual style of the film, which he and the director first determined.

 "This movie started with the story of the 1980s. The director and I referred to many old films with similar themes and decided to use modern audio-visual language to make a nostalgic story. The audio-visual language is new, but the light and color have a nostalgic atmosphere." Proceeding from this idea, Liu Yizeng chose a lot of scheduling of small and long shots to immerse the audience in stories and emotions when shooting literary dramas.

In the design of action scenes, the photography team did not deliberately show off their skills, but found a presentation that was both authentic and artistic through repeated rehearsals, bringing an immersive experience to the audience. "Some games have more long shots, strong sense of coherence, some are broken and strong sense of editing. This is the result of repeated watching, rehearsal and self-overthrow by us and the director, which also saves a lot of time for on-site scheduling."

Talking about the balance between sports and art, Liu Yizeng gave a very detailed example — — Ice flakes splashed by the collision between skates and ice. "It’s true that the ice flowers splashed by athletes at the moment of starting off are higher than people, but from the perspective of TV broadcast, few people notice this detail, so we want to capture it with high-speed close-ups. This sense of power brings the audience a very strong visual freshness and impact."

Flying dreams are implied by the splash of ice flowers, and the creative process of the film Breaking Through is also a process of continuous breakthrough and joint efforts of the creative team to dream. Liu Yizeng is particularly sympathetic to the sportsmanship of perseverance and courage to climb the peak. "What you challenge is also what you love, and it is precisely because this love supports you to move forward." This is what sports people and filmmakers have in common.

An important practice in the construction of "scholarly campus"

Inject new vitality into "all-staff education and cultural education"

"At present, the era has entered a new stage, higher education is undergoing profound changes, and heavy engineering is also facing a rare opportunity for entrepreneurial development." In order to inspire all the female faculty members to shoulder the heavy responsibility, to continue to be upward, forward, true, kind and beautiful, Kang Qian, secretary of the Party Committee of Chongqing University of Technology, put forward three hopes for the teachers.

Secretary Kang Qian said that I hope everyone will love reading and be "full of poetry and books". Concentrate on educating people, so as to "make the public full of peaches and plums"; Don’t let a man, so that "women can hold up half the sky." He suggested that teachers should take reading as a habit and a way of life, and wander around the sea of books to "read" the richness and beauty of life. Through everyone’s leading reading, the heavy engineering campus will be full of aura, poetry and books.

It is understood that the reading and sharing activity of "Roses are elegant and reading is beautiful" is also one of the series of practices of the school to promote the construction of a scholarly campus. Chongqing University of Science and Technology has always attached great importance to the construction of scholarly campus. In the 2023 "Reading Youth" sponsored by China University Students online, the reading activity of "Linking Books with Growing Road" sponsored by the Party Branch of Chongqing University of Science and Technology Library won the "Excellent Characteristic Activity Award", and the short video of "Reading Books with Emphasis on Science and Technology" produced by the library won the "Most Beautiful Library Award".

The school continues to carry out various reading promotion activities, such as publishing the "Scholar’s Reading List" and "Collection of Hundred Scholars’ Bibliography", reading sharing sessions, recommended books lists, and display of reading resources, injecting new vitality into "all-staff education and cultural education" and striving to promote the construction of a scholarly campus.

Selecting insiders and manipulating competitions … God knows what China sports has experienced in recent years.

  CCTV News:A few days ago, Fiona Fang magazine sponsored by Procuratorial Daily published an article entitled "Shocking Corruption at the Top of Sports in China". The article listed some relevant measures and some specific cases of anti-corruption in China sports since the 18th National Congress. How did China sports experience the pain of reform in the past five years? Xiaobian tells you through several stories.

  Twin sisters regret retiring.

  In May, 2017, twin sisters Hua Jiang Wenwen and Jiang Tingting returned to the stadium to win the gold medal at the award ceremony of the Flower Tour Double Event in the 13th National Games. Four years ago, because of a controversial referee’s score, the Wen Ting sisters, a world-famous flower swimming group, only achieved the third place in the National Games, ending their sports career with a bronze medal, while the host group Liaoning won the championship.

  The nearly perfect performance was awarded a low score by the referee. The score of the Liaoning team on the final day of the same set of competition actions was 2.2 points higher than that of the previous day’s preliminaries. All doubts pointed to Yu Li, then the head of synchronized swimming department of the General Administration of Sports, but after the game, Yu Li said in an interview: "The referee did not violate the relevant general rules and regulations in the scoring process, so the final score was determined to be effective and the original result was maintained."

  One year after the National Games in Liaoning, CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection made an all-round tour of the State Sports General Administration. After nearly one and a half months of inspection, the inspection results were announced, in which "the selection and selection of referees are not standardized, and the competition violates the principle of fairness and fraud" has become the focus of attention. On the third day after the announcement of the inspection results, the General Administration of Sports reported that an official was investigated for allegedly manipulating the competition and accepting improper bribes, and the person who was taken away was Yu Li, the former minister of the water polo department of the swimming center.

  According to authoritative media reports, in the 12th National Games, in order to "take care of" the host team’s "gold medal task", Yu Li, the former head of the National Flower Tour Team, accepted a bribe of 200,000 yuan from the director of Liaoning Swimming Center, resulting in a major scoring dispute in the flower tour project.

  In fact, the phenomenon of using authority to operate competitions like Yu Li is by no means a case in China sports, and it has even become a "hidden rule" in many projects. At the 10th National Games, Tian Liang, a famous diver, was suppressed because of his "bad relationship" with a leader of the China diving team. Before the game, in the referee’s lounge, a sports executive demanded that "no matter how well Tian Liang dances, he can only give 8.5 points at most". In the competition, after a perfect entry in Tian Liang, except one referee who gave a high score of 9.5 according to the standard, other referees really only gave 8.5 points. The referee who gave a high score finally lost the qualification of "best referee" and resigned soon after offending the leader.

  Although the official has not announced the exact reason why Yu Li was taken away, what is certain is that she can’t escape the common crime of accepting bribes or corruption. According to several media reports, although Yu Li and her husband Liu Fengyan, as cadres of the General Administration of Sports, obtained two houses allocated by the General Administration, Yu Li thought that their living conditions were not good enough, and then bought a 200-square-meter commercial house at a price of nearly 51,000 square meters, but the problem is that no one knows where the money came from.

  The table tennis player ran away angrily.

  Donna entered the national youth team at the age of 13 and won the national youth championship at the age of 16. She was called a "genius" of table tennis by the outside world, but she never participated in the world championships and the Olympic Games in the national team. Later, she changed her nationality and went to South Korea to play. After that, she won 10 games in the Korean Table Tennis Championships, ranking first in the women’s singles.

  "The Chinese Table Tennis Association does not pass the trials, but designates potential players in advance for centralized cultivation." According to media reports, Donna even said that South Korea is her motherland and hoped to enter the Olympic Games on behalf of South Korea, which caused great controversy.

  According to titan sports, Yu Li was not taken alone to assist in the investigation. She was also taken with an ace coach of the weightlifting team. It is mentioned in the article that this involves an ugly drama of China weightlifting team in the 2012 London Olympic Games. At that time, Zhou Jun, a 53kg Hubei native who represented China team, failed in snatch three times, creating the worst result of China women’s volleyball since she participated in the Olympic Games in 2000, and Zhou Jun’s qualification for the Olympic Games was also the result of the struggle of local interests.

  The similar shady selection is not a case. Take the national football team as an example. The list of players of each national team is full of disputes. As early as 2014, CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also published the article "What can the professional reform do to save the" deflated football "for more than 20 years? Named the phenomenon of chaotic football management in China.

  In this paper, the expressions such as "the examination and approval of the competition and the selection and appointment of athletes and referees are not standardized, open and transparent", "the competition violates the principle of fairness, practices fraud", "the development and operation of the competition are chaotic" and "the power of the units directly under the General Administration is highly concentrated" have aroused strong repercussions from netizens, especially the majority of football fans, and China football has once again been pushed to the forefront.

  According to insiders, although the strength is the first in competitive sports, the selection of national team athletes has become a matter of great interest in many absolutely superior events, and it is easier to trigger some private power and money transactions.

  The incident of Yu Li caused an uproar among the public, and also opened the tip of the iceberg of China sports corruption. On June 25th, 2015, official website, the Supervision Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, announced that Xiao Tian, deputy director of the State Sports General Administration, was suspected of serious violation of discipline and law and was currently under investigation. From July 2014 to July 2015, more than 10 officials were investigated in the State Sports General Administration, sports project management centers and provincial and municipal local sports bureaus in one year.

  On March 21st, 2017, CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection launched a new round of inspection of the General Administration of Sport. According to the website of CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, this patrol will achieve full coverage for 22 subordinate units of the State Sports General Administration, and "keeping an eye on key people, key matters and key issues" has become an important direction of this patrol. A series of chaos in the selection of athletes highlights the grim situation of corruption in sports, and it is urgent to crack down on the corruption of sports industry officials.

  China men’s basketball team is struggling.

  With the retirement of Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and other veterans, the performance of China men’s basketball team in the international arena plummeted. In addition to the reasons for the lack of success, there are deeper reasons for the fall of China men’s basketball team.

  "It is inconceivable that even a company holding a three-person basketball game needs the approval of the Basketball Association. Internationally, the Olympic Games, NBA and other events are organized by non-governmental organizations and operated in a market-oriented manner. There is no official approval at all. "

  According to Qiao Xinsheng, dean of the Institute of Integrity of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, this is a disguised form of "power rent-seeking". The General Administration of Sports and the local sports authorities have formed a huge "interest chain" and turned it into a tool to gain the gray interests of the department.

  This point was also mentioned by Yao Ming, a basketball star and member of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, in the "National Conference". He believes that at the current stage of development, there is no inevitable reason for the approval of sports events.

  Yao Ming pointed out that competition management and approval fees are often collected by the management centers of various sports, and the standards vary widely, which is easy to breed corruption; However, the sports management department interfered with the allocation of resources that could have been allocated by the market with the administrative hand, and also formed a monopoly objectively, which seriously hindered the enthusiasm of social forces for running sports and caused the fact of artificially setting a "threshold" for running competitions.

  Yao Ming’s proposal was adopted in the government work report of that year. However, people in the industry believe that sports departments at all levels have implemented the examination and approval of sports events for many years, and it will be difficult to remove this "cake of interests" from internal reform.

  In fact, it was not until the Central Inspection Team pointed out that "the examination and approval of sports events was irregular and opaque, highlighting the interests of departments" that the General Administration of Sports was forced to rectify its position, "canceling the examination and approval of commercial and mass sports events, and all other sports events were not required except national comprehensive sports events such as the National Games, the National Winter Games and the National Youth Games, and a few special types of sports events involving national security, politics, military affairs and diplomacy".

  Facts have proved that the cumbersome examination and approval process can not provide positive energy for the management and operation of sports events itself except for breeding the soil of "power rent-seeking". In November 2016, the new director of the General Administration of Sports, Gou Zhongwen, took office, and several major reforms and anti-corruption measures were successively introduced: from February to May this year, various forms of anti-corruption special meetings and anti-corruption inspections were held for four consecutive months, and 15 subordinate units were inspected as of May 28, and more than 180 problems were pointed out; In addition, Yao Ming, Lang Ping and other professionals are allowed to settle in trade associations to lead the reform in related fields … … The effect of this series of measures can only be tested by waiting for future events and achievements.

Fierce controversy! With the rise of football in China, fans are constantly cursing.

After the news that the main players of China football team were injured in Thailand came out, it caused extensive controversy and discussion. According to media reports, Titipan, the main midfielder of Thailand team, needs a long recovery period of at least 8 months because of tearing the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament of his knee. The striker of Thailand, Dangda, also missed at least four weeks due to injury, making it difficult for him to play against China on November 16th. In this regard, Soccer reported that China became the winner because Thailand lost important players before the preliminaries. However, such a report attracted a lot of fans’ scolding. Some fans said that China football now needs to rely on the injury of its opponent to win, which is really disgusting. They think that the football level in China is so low that it has fallen to the point where people want to be injured or even sent off, which is really worrying.

There are also fans who believe that the China men’s soccer team seems unable to win no matter whether the main players of Thailand are injured or not. They are pessimistic about the future of football in China, and think that China can’t win against Japanese teams and strong European teams, and they are still discussing how to beat Thailand and Vietnam, which is ridiculous. However, some fans are optimistic about China football. They believe that the China team can play its own strength in the face of stable opponents. They mentioned the fierce confrontation between the Japanese team and the European powers, and thought that China could meet the challenges of Thailand and Viet Nam as long as it played steadily. In any case, China Football got some good news in the news that the main players of Thailand were injured. Fans have different expectations and views on the performance of China team.

Whether optimistic or pessimistic, only when the China team can prove its strength in the competition can the fans have more confidence in it.

The first in China! The immersive experience of "Holographic Zoo" appeared in the Natural Museum!

Life scenes of ancient creatures

What’s it like to be close at hand?

The First Holographic Zoo in China

What are the highlights of immersive experience?

On February 24th, the "Holographic Zoo" immersive experience project in Shanghai Natural Museum was launched in the b1 Pro Exhibition Hall. The audience can immerse themselves in the life scenes of various rare dinosaurs, such as Tyrannosaurus rex growling at you, pterosaurs passing overhead, little dinosaurs breaking out of their shells and confusing dragons passing you by. Let’s have a look.

Walking into the 19-meter "Holographic Gallery" in the Holographic Zoo, the scene of paleontology life in front of you has a visual impact instantly. The huge creatures in ancient times seem to be in front of you. Tyrannosaurus Rex, pterosaurs and other creatures will suddenly run in front of you, and even feel their snorts and experience an unprecedented sense of presence. The audience will then become time travelers and travel through the ancient world.

"Holographic Zoo" of Shanghai Natural Museum

Project coordinator Zhou Ming introduced:

"The Shanghai Museum of Natural History has more than 280,000 exhibits, of which more than 8,000 are paleontological collections. In fact, there is a big difference between paleontology and living organisms. Their active period is too far away from us, which may be because it is out of reach, making it more difficult for the public to imagine or grasp their living habits and body characteristics, including their living environment and their relationship. The immersive experience of holographic zoo is mainly to make the collection glow with new life through advanced digital technology, break the gap between time and space, bring distant paleontology to the public, and let the audience get in touch with them at close range. "

According to reports, the "Holographic Zoo" project adopts ultra-short focus holographic projection technology, includingHolographic Theater, Holographic Corridor and Holographic FenceThe three sections lead the audience into the mysterious ancient world from a new perspective and get in touch with prehistoric creatures such as dinosaurs. In the "holographic fence", the audience can overlook all kinds of dinosaurs and insects 30 meters underground, and observe the living habits of dinosaurs and reptiles of different sizes at close range.

Zhang Xuebing, founder and ceo of Shanghai Youliyun Vision Technology Co., Ltd. said: "The Holographic Zoo uses our projection technology of the world’s leading holographic corridor, which is actually one of the best invention awards of the year selected by American Time Magazine in 2023. In this holographic zoo, we use a comprehensive holographic projection, coupled with the dynamic tracking technology of the position, which can let our audience have a full immersion experience of perfect angle. "

It is understood that the project was exhibited in the Australian Museum, and this is the first exhibition in China, allowing the audience to feel, understand and care for nature in a more diverse way.

Why is Meng Qi, the largest English training institution for children in Hong Kong, a thousand miles away?

Meng Qi Qianli, a local English training institution for children in Hong Kong, submitted an application for listing in Hong Kong.

Friends who like to watch variety shows have probably seen a program of Hunan Satellite TV called "Where is Dad going?". In the program, two small Hong Kong men-Feynman, the son of Wu Zhenyu, and Jasper, the son of Jordan chan-are both very popular second generation stars. Apart from being from Hong Kong, they all have one obvious thing in common, that is, they all speak fluent English, which is also one of the great highlights of the program. Outside the program, we can easily conclude that Hong Kong people attach importance to English from dolls, which largely depends on the historical development, cultural atmosphere, economic strength, government support and other factors of the city. Including the author’s study in Hong Kong, I also found that most of the Local students around me are proficient in English, which must be inseparable from their childhood language influence.
In addition to the training of schools and families, extracurricular English training institutions are naturally indispensable. According to the consulting report, from 2014 to 2018, the tuition income of English learning centers for children (aged 2 to 12) in Hong Kong increased from 1.379 billion (HK$, the same below) to 2.056 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.5%, and will continue to grow to 3.327 billion from 2018 to 2023.
On July 8th, Meng Qi Qianli Group Holding Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Meng Qi Qianli"), a local children’s English training institution in Hong Kong, submitted an application for listing in Hong Kong, showing that the exclusive sponsor was Ballas Capital. Meng Qi Qianli was established in 2009, mainly providing English courses for children aged 3-12. At present, there are 77 Monkey Tree learning centers, and about 96% of its income comes from the Hong Kong market.
In this way, the business involved in Meng Qi Trinidad should be regarded as a good business in Hong Kong. Then, can Meng Qi’s next capital road be smooth?
one
The largest supplier of English learning courses for children in Hong Kong market.
Meng Qi Qianli is a Hong Kong-based English learning course provider for children, which mainly provides English courses for students aged 3 to 12 under the brand of "Monkey Tree". Up to now, there are 77 Monkey Tree learning centers in Meng Qi Qianli, including 18 self-operated centers in Hong Kong and 43, 3 and 13 franchised centers in Hong Kong, Macau and China.
According to the consulting report, children’s English learning industry in Hong Kong is still relatively scattered, and competition is expected to intensify in the future. According to the revenue in 2018, the total market share of the five major market participants is about 29.5%, among which Meng Qi Qianli ranks first with a market share of about 9.9%.
As far as courses are concerned, most of Meng Qi Qianli employ English-speaking teachers to educate students in a relatively small-scale learning environment, with no more than eight students in each classroom, thus improving the teaching quality through close interaction with teachers. At the same time, Meng Qi Qianli also indicated in the prospectus that it would design interactive activities and games for the classroom, such as singing and role-playing, to stimulate students’ interest and stickiness.
It is worth noting that the Monkey Tree Learning Center (self-operated+franchised) of Meng Qi Qianli Line is unified in the process of site selection and opening, teacher recruitment, training and support, marketing, curriculum outline and course textbook production, and can enjoy a certain degree of economies of scale and reproducibility.
two
The business income structure is single, and the future expansion growth rate is doubtful.
Let’s take a look at the financial performance of Meng Qi Qianli. Note that the node of its financial year is March 31st every year.
In fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Monkey Tree Learning Center enrolled 14,745 students, 17,023 students and 19,248 students respectively, among which 4,635 students enrolled in the self-operated center, 6,103 students enrolled in the self-operated center and 6,793 students enrolled in the franchise center, respectively.
From the perspective of revenue structure, Meng Qi Qianli’s revenue mainly comes from self-operated centers, accounting for 92.7%, 92.8% and 92.2% of the total revenue in fiscal year 2017-2019, respectively, while the total revenue of affiliated centers and facilities does not exceed 8% of the total revenue, resulting in a relatively simple revenue structure of the company. In terms of regional distribution, since the company’s 18 self-operated centers are all located in Hong Kong, its revenue mainly comes from Hong Kong, accounting for 98.8%, 98% and 96% of the total revenue in fiscal year 2017-2019, respectively, while Macau and Chinese mainland account for very little. The income structure and regional distribution are relatively simple, which will hinder the sustained growth of Meng Qi Qianli’s future income. In particular, the English learning market for children in Hong Kong is still scattered, with fierce competition, and the size and space of the population are relatively limited compared with the mainland.
At the same time, although it is the "main force" of Meng Qi Qianli business, the operating conditions of Monkey Tree self-operated center in Hong Kong have been deteriorating in recent years. In fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, four, three and two were added (one was closed) respectively, and the local expansion was slightly weak. In FY 2019, the number of students enrolled in the self-operated center of Meng Qi Qianli increased by 11.3% year-on-year, which was slightly lower than that of the affiliated center (14.1%).
Facing the resistance of business expansion, on the one hand, Meng Qi Qianli decided to enhance the competitiveness of self-operated centers and franchise centers, systematically renovate Hong Kong self-operated centers and franchise centers in the future, and develop online teaching research and teaching teams. On the other hand, the company also plans to establish branches in mainland cities such as Shenzhen, Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Guiyang, Hangzhou, Foshan, Huizhou and Zhongshan, and extend its self-operated centers out of Hong Kong.
In terms of net profit, in fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, Meng Qi Qianli recorded 13.678 million, 14.063 million and 19.264 million respectively, with growth rates of 2.8% and 37.0%. In fiscal year 2019, the company’s net profit increased greatly, mainly due to the improvement of operating efficiency, and the net profit increased by 1.7 percentage points to 11.2%. Among them, the advertising and promotion expenses of the company accounted for only about 2.2% of the total revenue during the period, and the cost of obtaining customers was low, thanks to the excellent popularity of Monkey Tree in Hong Kong. However, if the company enters the mainland market in the future and stands out among many extracurricular brands, it is necessary to increase the publicity of "burning money" and the profit rate is difficult to maintain. More importantly, there is also uncertainty about the effect obtained after vigorous publicity.
In addition to the pressure of business expansion, Meng Qi Qianli is a little strange in assets. For example, in FY 2019, although the total assets in Meng Qi Qianli’s account increased year-on-year, the fixed assets in current assets dropped sharply, which was replaced by the increase in receivables in current assets, including many sensitive transactions such as directors and affiliated companies.
three
Is it happy or sad that the sprint capital hits the compulsory education "citizens recruit together"?
Interestingly, on July 8th, the same day that Meng Qi Qianli submitted its application for listing, the State Council issued the Opinions on Deepening Education and Teaching Reform and Improving the Quality of Compulsory Education in an All-round Way. According to the opinion, the enrollment of private compulsory education schools is included in the unified management of examination and approval, and enrollment is synchronized with public schools; If the number of applicants exceeds the enrollment plan, computer random admission will be implemented.
For training institutions, under the dual influence of citizens’ common recruitment and over-computer random enrollment in private schools, the trend and uncertainty of parents’ school choice have been further enhanced, and the willingness and demand for subject-based remedial training caused by anxiety for further studies have cooled down, which may not be a good thing for K12 extracurricular training institutions, and may have a certain negative effect on Meng Qi Qianli, which intends to develop its business in mainland China.
Although it is the first English learning brand for children in Hong Kong, it should be certain that Meng Qi Qianli will enter the mainland in a large scale in the future if it wants to seek sustained and rapid growth in profits. However, there are many brands of children’s extracurricular learning online and online in the Mainland. In order to gain a foothold, the brand "Monkey Tree" will inevitably need to increase investment in advertising and marketing, which may put pressure on the company’s short-term net interest rate. In the absence of unique business characteristics in the learning center, there are doubts about whether the brand can successfully open the market. Riding the wind of the reform and upgrading of compulsory education, how should Meng Qi take the next road?
