The main respiratory syncytial virus infected in winter finally has a preventive medicine.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one of the most frequently mentioned respiratory infectious diseases or pathogens in the winter of 2023.

Last November, at the press conference organized by National Health Commission, RSV was mentioned many times. On November 13, 2023, Wang Quan, chief physician of Beijing Children’s Hospital, said, "On the whole, virus is still the most common pathogen of respiratory tract infection in children, including influenza virus, rhinovirus, adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus." On November 26, 2023, Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health and Wellness Commission and deputy director of the Propaganda Department, once pointed out that "monitoring shows that recently, respiratory infectious diseases are mainly influenza. In addition, rhinovirus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, etc. "

RSV is a negative single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Pneumonia of Paramyxoviridae. It is named because it is related to respiratory tract infection and can fuse infected cells. Moreover, RSV is the pathogen of acute respiratory infection after influenza.

According to a prospective surveillance study on all-age patients with acute respiratory infection in China from 2009 to 2019, the etiology and epidemiological characteristics of about 231,000 patients were analyzed. As a whole, influenza (28.5%), RSV(16.8%) and rhinovirus (16.7%) were the most common virus pathogens. Children and the elderly are the key people infected with RSV. Among them, in children under 5 years old, the positive rate of RSV detection exceeds that of influenza and rhinovirus, and RSV has become the most common virus pathogen that causes respiratory tract infection in children.

On January 2nd, AstraZeneca and Sanofi jointly announced that the long-acting monoclonal antibody Nirsevimab/Nisevimab was officially approved for marketing in National Medical Products Administration, China, to prevent lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) caused by RSV in newborns and infants. This also fills the gap that there is no medicine for preventing RSV infection in infants in China.

It is worth noting that nisevimab is the first and only approved preventive measure to protect infants from RSV infection in China, covering healthy full-term infants, premature infants and infants susceptible to severe RSV infection due to special health conditions. In addition, nisevimab can achieve the effect of continuous protection for 5 months with one injection, that is, a typical RSV infection season (November-April in the northern hemisphere, totaling 5-6 months).

AstraZeneca and Sanofi revealed that nisevimab is expected to be listed in China during the RSV infection season in 2024-2025. Previously, nisevi monoclonal antibody had been approved in the European Union and the United States. The listing applications submitted by nisevimab in Japan and other markets are also under review.

At present, there are two main ways to prevent RSV infection: vaccination and drug prevention. In terms of drugs to prevent infection, infants can prevent RSV infection by injecting palizumab or nisevimab, while adults have no related RSV preventive drugs at present.

Both palizumab and nisevimab are products of AstraZeneca. Among them, palizumab is the first drug approved for the prevention of RSV infection in children in the world. It was approved for marketing in the United States in 1998 and has not been approved for marketing in China yet. The population covered by this drug is small, and the EU only recommends the use of this drug for premature infants within 6 months and under 35 weeks after birth, children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) who need treatment in the past 6 months, and children with congenital heart disease (CHD) who are over 24 months old.

Moreover, compared with only one injection of nisevizumab in an RSV epidemic season, palizumab needs to be injected once a month in the RSV epidemic season, and the drug price is high.

In terms of vaccines, in 2023, the FDA approved the listing of RSV vaccines from Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline. Infants within 6 months can take the initiative to inoculate Pfizer bivalent RSV vaccine Abysvo at 24-36 weeks of pregnancy to prevent RSV-related lower respiratory diseases, while people over 60 years old can be inoculated with GlaxoSmithKline’s RSV vaccine Arexvy or Pfizer bivalent RSV vaccine Abysvo for prevention, and there is no relevant RSV vaccine on the market for other age groups.

At present, GlaxoSmithKline’s RSV vaccine has been approved for clinical trials in China and has reached cooperation with domestic pharmaceutical companies. On June 19th, 2023, China National Medical Products Administration Drug Evaluation Center (CDE) official website announced that the RSV vaccine (AS01E adjuvant system) declared by GlaxoSmithKline had obtained implied permission for clinical trials and was suitable for active immunization to prevent lower respiratory diseases in adults aged 60 and above caused by RSV-A and RSV-B subtypes. On October 8, 2023, GlaxoSmithKline reached a strategic cooperation with Zhifei Bio, and Zhifei Bio won the priority agency right of RSV vaccine in mainland China.

It is worth mentioning that not long ago, the only RSV vaccine giant started a patent war. In August 2023, GlaxoSmithKline filed a patent lawsuit against Pfizer, claiming that Pfizer’s RSV vaccine Abrysvo infringed four patents of GlaxoSmithKline’s vaccine Arexvy. If GlaxoSmithKline wins the case, Pfizer will be permanently banned from selling and producing RSV vaccine in the United States in the future.

RSV is considered as the next field with a market of 10 billion dollars. Minsheng Securities Research Report shows that the overall global market size of RSV drugs (including preventive and therapeutic drugs) is expected to increase from $1.8 billion in 2020 to $12.8 billion in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 21.4%.

The market potential of RSV can be seen from the sales of products that have been listed. The aforementioned two RSV vaccines, Abrysvo of Pfizer and Arexvy of GlaxoSmithKline, achieved revenue of $375 million and $870 million respectively in the first quarter after being approved for marketing. Insight database shows that even palizumab, which has extremely limited coverage and short effect duration, has reached a sales peak of $1.6 billion in the past decade.

Many domestic pharmaceutical companies have also joined the development of the 10 billion blue ocean market. From the domestic research and development of RSV vaccine, many pharmaceutical companies, such as watson biological/Blue Magpie Bio, Unacon, Zhifei Bio, Clover Bio, Aidiweixin, participated in the research and development of RSV vaccine, but most of them are still in the early stage. Among them, the research and development progress of Aidiweixin is relatively fast, and its product ADV110 is in the second clinical stage; It is estimated that the phase II study will be extended from the elderly group to the infant group in 2024, aiming at protecting children aged 6 months to 5 years and the elderly over 65 years old.

According to the research of children’s RSV preventive drugs, TNM001 of Tylenol Mai Bo is in phase II/III clinical research, and RB0026 of Ruiyang Biotechnology is in phase I clinical trial. In addition to the products already on the market, the fastest research and development progress in the world is Clesrovimab of Merck, which has been in phase III clinical research.

Judging from the drugs under research for the treatment of children’s RSV infection, the domestic pharmaceutical company Aike Baifa AK0529 has submitted an application for NDA registration, and the progress is leading. AK0529 is an oral drug, which is suitable for children from birth to 24 months old. In addition, RV521 from Pfizer and EDP-938 from Enanta are under research all over the world, all of which are oral drugs, suitable for children aged from January to 36 months and 28 days to 36 months respectively. As of October 20, 2023, these two products are in phase II clinical trials.

The head singer settled in, why choose Netease Cloud?

Editor’s Note: This article is from WeChat WeChat official account "Tech Planet" (ID:tech618), by Li Xiaolei, published by 36Kr with authorization.

Just like 16 years ago, Jason once again became a "crab eater" by taking part in "My Show" and becoming a champion. 

On September 21st, Netease Cloud Music officially announced that it had reached a brand-new strategic cooperation with famous musician Jason. This means that the two parties will carry out innovative operations in music copyright, personal music IP development, music works creation and online music performance. This is also the first in-depth cooperation mode between the head singer and the streaming music platform involving music copyright, personal IP, operation announcement and so on. 

Since 2004, Jason, who has been groping in the music industry, has witnessed the changes of the music industry from the record era to the streaming media era. For the head singers, the new music industry, which is slowly unfolding in front of them, has undergone tremendous changes compared with the past. 

The hard power of music streaming media platform has been extended to the comprehensive operation of musicians and music works, including the redevelopment of music copyright, concerts, IP peripheral and other diversified commercial operations. 

The cooperation with Jason is also the first shot for Netease Cloud Music to open the ∞ Unlimited Music Plan. While supporting original musicians, Netease Cloud Music has another "abacus"-through the "Infinite Music Plan", more mainstream musicians will be held in hand to provide them with a new service model based on the music platform, which will inject more vitality into new and old music. 

The combination of head singers and head music platforms will also become another competitive trend in the music industry.

From the earliest signing of Shangteng Entertainment, to Tianyu Media, and then to the independent studio, Jason, who debuted in the draft, has turned into the top male singer in the Chinese music scene and won the Grand Slam of the mainland music award. In 16 years, he released 14 music albums and left more than 200 singles. 

When Jason debuted as an amateur in 2004, it was a period of drastic changes in the music industry.

Dao Lang became a key figure in Chinese music this year. At that time, there was no concept of "sinking the market", but the first album "The First Snow in 2002" released by Dao Lang, with its unique music type, "entered" the urban and rural markets in one fell swoop, bringing about a change in music types. 

In the record era, musicians mostly earned their income by selling physical albums and records. The sales volume of Dao Lang’s first album claimed to be as high as 2.6 million. Pay-as-you-go CRBT became popular from this year, and the profit of record companies was replaced by the service fee of paying for downloading CRBT. Song Ke, who was the CEO of Taihe Wheat Field at that time, even spent tens of millions to buy out the color ring back tones copyright of Dao Lang’s three songs. 

Over the past 10 years, the mode of music announcement and profit has undergone tremendous changes. The mode of music profit has changed from records and ringtones to establishing exposure on streaming media platforms and social platforms and selling digital singles and albums. At the same time, on the basis of gaining influence, we will tour and develop and sell the surrounding IP products. 

Most mainstream head musicians came out of the era of traditional record industry, and the traditional announcement and distribution modes that prevailed in the past, such as playing charts, releasing records, signing sales tours and performing in various places, have long since fallen behind in this era. 

In the fast-paced moment, the streaming media platform has obviously become an important part of musicians’ communication channels, and the rise of Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker has also opened a new door for musicians. 

In other words, the Internet is reconstructing the traditional music industry, and the cooperation between digital music platform and record companies, brands and musicians has gradually become closer. To some extent, digital music platform plays an important role in promoting the value of the whole industry chain in the music industry. 

Jason’s hand in hand with Netease Cloud Music is clearly an insight into this trend. In fact, this is also a new mode of all-round music cooperation with head singers initiated by Netease Cloud Music.

Under this brand-new mode, Netease Cloud Music will provide multi-dimensional module services such as accurate and intelligent recommendation of works, personal music IP development, exclusive music brand activities, music linkage at home and abroad, cross-border integration of original music, offline and offline music performances, new interaction in Yuncun community, and commercial development of music content. 

For example, relying on personalized recommendation, song list, music review, Mlog and other product features, Netease Cloud Music has built a "music community" with unique vitality, which will help musicians reach users from multiple channels. In terms of music creation, in June this year, Netease Cloud Music also strategically invested in the AI Music Company "AIVA", and will develop innovative products to assist musicians in their creation in the future.

In the era of traditional records, the profit logic is to sell physical album records, relying more on obtaining exclusive copyright. Since her debut, Jason has released 14 albums, more than 200 high-quality music works and more than 40 OST golden songs. For Jason, who has left a large number of works, he can earn a lot of money only by his current copyright and concerts. 

In the era of digital streaming media, besides copyright, how to expand the rich and multidimensional vitality of music and make a music work have a longer tail value and influence has become a new proposition. 

Under this change, it is very important for musicians and platforms to change with the trend.

In April this year, the internal letter of Netease Cloud Music’s 7th anniversary mentioned that "we are witnessing the’ most civilian’ moment in China’s music history". Netease Cloud Music should complete the mission of "delivering the beautiful power of music", and "providing surprises for users", "serving musicians" and "the team should love music" are listed as the most important things.

The internal letter also emphasized that "the service for musicians should be more active, more detailed and more in place". In fact, as early as 2016, Netease Cloud Music pioneered the "Musician Index" and successively launched independent musician support programs such as "Stone Project" and "Ladder Project". Today, with 160,000 original musicians in Yuncun, it seems a natural thing to expand cooperation with mainstream artists in the head. 

In single sales, Netease Cloud Music had a cooperation example with Hua Chenyu’s "I really want to love this world" before. With the energy of the song itself and the operation of Netease Cloud Music, 45 days after its launch, the single has sold more than 16.67 million copies in Netease Cloud Music, with sales exceeding 50 million yuan, which is called "half a billion singles" by netizens. 

In addition to these figures, at present, there are more than 1 million messages in Netease Cloud Music Review Zone. More than 400,000 points were praised by the hottest comments, which is the additional significance given to the songs by Netease Cloud Music Community atmosphere. Some users talk about the background of the song in the comment area, which is a music dedicated to the depressed group, and some users talk about their own depressed experiences and get comfort in the comment area. 

For singers, tours, concerts and other large and small stage presentations are particularly important. Since Jason’s debut, she has held 61 large-scale concerts and toured more than 30 cities at home and abroad, with a total of 1.3 million people watching. In 2018 and 2019, she broke the box office record of a single concert in the Bird’s Nest for two consecutive years.

In the operation of online concerts, Netease Cloud Music has already had the experience of actually operating online performances, including LIVE on the cloud, "Fish Dining in Sodagreen" and the new solo concert of Mr.R&Beats in Wilber Pan. 

Not only that, Netease Cloud Music also took the lead in launching supporting services for paying to watch online performances. Take the online concert of the 7th anniversary of TFBOYS debut as an example. The ticket prices of online concerts are 30 yuan, 158 yuan and 860 yuan, respectively. The higher the price, the more rights and interests you can enjoy, and more products you can enjoy during the week. In the end, the record of this concert reached 786,000 simultaneous online users, which also broke the world record of online paid concerts. 

Today, online performances are gradually normalized, and offline performances complement the ecology. The importance of online performance planning and supporting services is also more prominent. 

Netease Cloud Music launched the "Infinite Music Plan", the essential purpose of which is to strengthen and innovate the deep cooperation mode with the mainstream artists in the head, and give full play to the superior resources of the music platform to carry out all-round integration with the mainstream artists in the head. Taking music as the benchmark core, we will create high-quality, personalized and topical music content. 

While releasing the potential of music IP, it is actually exploring the possibility of music cross-border.

Netease Cloud Music, while continuously supporting original musicians, has also begun to provide a new service model based on the music platform for head singers. To some extent, this is another evolution of the streaming music platform. 

However, in today’s diversified music channels, if we want to be re-recognized and maintain the popularity, it will test our ability to adapt to the operation and publicity of streaming media era more comprehensively. 

It is understood that after the cooperation between Jason and Netease Cloud Music, Netease Cloud Music will launch "Jason Music Week", which will promote many widely sung songs in Jason on the whole platform in terms of song list, cloud circle, Mlog and platform announcement.

From the user’s point of view, mastering the youth market is the key to the future for any industry. There is no doubt that Jason’s incremental audience market comes from young people. You should know that among the active users of Netease Cloud Music, the post-95 generation accounts for more than 60%. For most singers, reaching these new users, being re-recognized and liked is also an important measure to stimulate the original vitality of music. 

At the same time, the community atmosphere of Netease Cloud Music, including music reviews, Mlog, and Japanese push, will undoubtedly drive all kinds of music to find exclusive user groups, and even bring about the proliferation of quantity and the breakthrough of the circle. 

Undoubtedly, in the current music market, the music platform plays a key role in linking the upstream and downstream. 

In the past six months, Netease Cloud Music has successively reached cooperation with Ghibli, Warner Copyright, Shaocheng Times, Rolling Stone Records, Universal Music Group, Indie Works, BPMT(BPM Tokyo), CUBE Entertainment, etc. Almost every month, one or two copyright cooperation agreements have been reached, and the richness of the music library has already reached the leading level in China. 

On September 14th, Netease Cloud Music just announced that it has reached a strategic cooperation with Bertelsmann Music Group (hereinafter referred to as BMG). The two parties will carry out deep-seated and diversified cooperation in the upstream and downstream fields of music copyright, deep development of music IP, music performance, online karaoke and so on. 

Judging from the cooperation of various companies, the cooperation between Netease Cloud Music and various copyright parties is not simply the cooperation of music copyright authorization, but has expanded to more fields. Music copyright, deep development of music IP and deep operation of music performance have been repeatedly mentioned, and this cooperation mode will also become a new trend of copyright cooperation. It is no longer new to obtain music copyright alone. How to inject more three-dimensional vitality into a music work is the key to the competition of streaming media music platforms in the future. 

All these measures mean that Netease Cloud Music is exploring the deep water area of the music platform. In addition to copyright competition, the more important problem left for the music platform has become how to inspire musicians, users and industries to have greater value. 

While absorbing the head musicians headed by Jason, and providing them with high-quality music services, high-quality music content and the community ecology fed back by peripheral services, the differentiation advantage of Netease Cloud is gradually strengthened, followed by the continuous destruction of songs and music-related content. Once this closed loop of musician-content-community ecology is formed, it will undoubtedly become the competitive advantage of Netease Cloud Music in the future. 

Grasping the head musician firmly is another dimension of the music platform besides music copyright competition and user competition. In the future, how to provide more complete music operation for head musicians and independent musicians, pay attention to creation and announcement, and provide new music services will all become the new "homework" of the platform. Only by doing this problem well can you become an "excellent student" in the industry.

Six trillion cities have set GDP growth targets in 2023: all of them exceed 5.5%.

  As various places have successively entered the "two sessions" time, the economic "transcripts" of some trillion GDP cities in 2022 and the main goals of economic and social development in 2023 have been released.

  The Paper reporters found that as of January 4th, trillion GDP cities such as Jinan, Qingdao, Changsha, Hefei, Zhengzhou, Fuzhou and Dongguan have published relevant data.

  The Central Economic Work Conference held earlier pointed out that the foundation of China’s current economic recovery is still not solid, the triple pressures of demand contraction, supply shock and expected weakening are still relatively large, and the external environment is turbulent, which has deepened the impact on China’s economy. However, it should be noted that China’s economy has strong resilience, great potential and sufficient vitality, and the effects of various policies continue to appear. Next year’s economic operation is expected to rebound overall.

  At the same time, the Central Economic Work Conference put "focusing on expanding domestic demand" as the first item of economic work in 2023, and emphasized that "restoring and expanding consumption should be given priority" and "government investment and policy incentives should be used to effectively promote investment in the whole society".

  The reporter noted that among the trillion-GDP cities that have announced their growth targets in 2023, most of the GDP growth targets are lower than those in 2022, but they are all higher than the actual GDP growth rate in 2022; At the same time, expanding domestic demand and promoting consumption have become the top priority of many governments in 2023.

  Fu Yifu, a senior researcher at Xingtu Financial Research Institute, told the The Paper that the setting of the local growth target for 2023 shows that on the one hand, local governments are optimistic about the economic recovery in 2023, but on the other hand, they are also facing some realistic pressures, which need to be constantly adapted and overcome.

  The target of GDP growth in 2023 was finalized.

  The Economic Blue Book: Analysis and Forecast of China’s Economic Situation in 2023, jointly published by the Institute of Quantitative and Technical Economics of China Academy of Social Sciences and Social Science Literature Publishing House on December 13th, 2022, predicts that China’s economy will grow by about 5.1% in 2023, showing a further recovery trend.

  Yao Yang, president of the National Development Research Institute of Peking University, recently said that 5% is the bottom line for GDP growth in 2023.

  Specific to the local level,Among the 24 trillion GDP cities, Jinan, Qingdao, Changsha, Hefei, Zhengzhou and Fuzhou have announced their GDP growth targets in 2023, with values ranging from 5.5% to 7%.Among them, Zhengzhou and Changsha are about 7% and 7% respectively, Hefei and Fuzhou are about 6.5% and 6.5% respectively, and Jinan and Qingdao are about 5.5% and 5.5% respectively. Except Jinan’s GDP growth target is the same as that of the previous year, the GDP growth targets of the other five cities in 2023 have been lowered compared with the previous year.

  However, recovery is still the main theme of the economy in 2023. Compared with the actual performance of GDP in 2022, the goal for 2023 is still optimistic.

  The data shows that in terms of the total regional GDP in 2022, Jinan is expected to exceed 1.2 trillion yuan, Qingdao is expected to exceed 1.5 trillion yuan, Hefei is expected to exceed 1.2 trillion yuan and Dongguan is expected to exceed 1.1 trillion yuan; From the perspective of GDP growth rate in 2022, Changsha is expected to increase by 4.8%, Hefei is expected to increase by about 3.6%, and Fuzhou is expected to increase by more than 5.2%, all of which are lower than the corresponding GDP growth targets of the three cities in 2023.

  "Considering the low cardinal utility in 2022, and with the optimization and adjustment of epidemic prevention and control measures, the disturbance of the epidemic to the operation of all walks of life will be gradually eliminated. Efforts to restore the economy will definitely be the top priority in 2023, and more policies may be introduced to support it. Therefore, economic recovery is a high probability event, and the target for 2023 is a little higher than the actual growth rate in 2022." Fu Yifu said, but on the other hand, the growth target has been lowered compared with the previous year’s target. "This is the local consideration based on its own reality. The long-term impact of the three-year epidemic is easy to produce the so-called ‘ Scar effect ’ The negative impact on the urban economy is difficult to eliminate immediately, and an adaptation period is needed. "

  At the same time, some cities have lowered the growth target of industrial added value. For example, Zhengzhou has set the target for 2023 at more than 8%, which is lower than the 10% growth target for 2022; Changsha set it above 8%, which is also lower than the growth target of 8.5% in the previous year; Hefei is set at more than 8%, which is lower than the target of more than 9% in the previous year. In addition, there is a slight change in Jinan’s expression. In 2023 and 2022, the expectation for the growth of this indicator is about 6% and above 6% respectively.

  In addition, some of the above cities have also announced the growth targets of investment and consumption in 2023. Zhengzhou and Hefei set the growth target of fixed assets investment at 10% or above in 2023, including 15% in Zhengzhou and around 10% in Hefei, both higher than the previous year’s target. Changsha, Jinan, Qingdao and Fuzhou set the growth target of fixed assets investment at 6%-7% in 2023, among which Changsha is above 7%, Jinan is around 6.5%, Qingdao is around 6% and Fuzhou is 6%, all of which are lower than the target of last year.

  Zhengzhou and Fuzhou set the growth target of total retail sales of social consumer goods at 10% or above in 2023, including 12% in Zhengzhou and 10% in Fuzhou, both of which were higher than the previous year’s target. The growth targets of total retail sales of social consumer goods in Hefei, Changsha, Jinan and Qingdao in 2023 range from 5% to 9%, among which Hefei is about 9%, Changsha is 7%, Jinan is about 5.5% and Qingdao is more than 5%. Except Hefei is the same as last year, the growth targets of the other three places are all lowered compared with last year.

  Promoting consumption becomes the primary task of some cities

  "Focus on expanding domestic demand" is the first item in the economic work in 2023 deployed by the Central Economic Work Conference, and it is mentioned that "the recovery and expansion of consumption should be given priority" and "the investment of the whole society should be effectively promoted through government investment and policy incentives."

  The Outline of the Strategic Plan for Expanding Domestic Demand (2022-2035) issued in mid-December, 2022 clearly pointed out that in the future, the domestic market will dominate the national economic cycle more obviously, consumption has become the main driving force for China’s economic growth, and the optimization and upgrading of household consumption will be combined with modern technology and production methods, and China, the most promising consumer market in the world, will continue to grow and develop.

  Wen Bin, chief economist of China Minsheng Bank, once wrote an analysis that looking forward to 2023, consumption will rebound obviously with the restoration of consumption scenes, the recovery of income growth, the introduction of policies to promote consumption and the low cardinal utility, and the annual growth is expected to be 9.0% year-on-year.

  Judging from the published government work reports for 2023 in the aforementioned cities, many cities put expanding domestic demand, especially promoting consumption, in a prominent position.

  Among the twelve key tasks deployed in Qingdao in 2023, "continuous efforts to expand domestic demand and steady growth" is the first, which requires giving full play to the basic role of consumption and the key role of investment, vigorously implementing the action of consumption expansion and upgrading, accelerating the implementation of major infrastructure investment projects, and continuously releasing the potential of domestic demand.

  In the government work report, Qingdao particularly emphasized consumption, clearly introduced and implemented policies and measures to boost contact consumption, and accelerated the recovery of cultural tourism, accommodation and catering, wholesale and retail industries.

  Among the nine major tasks of Fuzhou in 2023, "persisting in expanding domestic demand" is also the first one, which requires strengthening the endogenous driving force of economic development, including accelerating consumption upgrading, giving play to the key role of investment and promoting regional coordinated development.

  Among the eight key tasks deployed by Hefei in 2023, in the first item, "Greater efforts to promote high-quality economic development", it is clearly proposed to develop and expand market players, fully expand effective investment, accelerate the recovery of consumption, and strengthen the support of factors. In promoting consumption, Hefei said that it should give priority to restoring and expanding consumption, comprehensively improve the consumption level, and strive to become an international consumption center city.

  In the second item of ten key tasks in 2023, "Focus on maintaining stable economic growth and accelerating the improvement of quality and efficiency of development", Jinan proposed to continuously expand project investment, improve the quality and efficiency of attracting investment, promote the recovery and expansion of consumption, promote the incremental improvement of foreign trade and accelerate the development of private economy.

  "Expansion needs to focus on the role of consumption." Fu Yifu said that compared with investment, the consumption performance in 2022 is relatively low, in other words, there is more room for growth in future consumption. However, the biggest problem that restricts the release of residents’ consumption potential at present lies in the lack of residents’ consumption confidence. "The root of the lack of confidence lies in the damage to the balance sheets of many families caused by the epidemic." Therefore, repairing household balance sheets and boosting consumer confidence are the key points that need to be broken through. In this regard, we must first stabilize employment and let more people have a stable source of income. Secondly, in the long run, we must focus on promoting the reform of the income distribution system of residents, narrowing the income gap of residents, optimizing the consumption environment, solving the pain points of consumption, and promoting the release of domestic demand.

  The construction of modern industrial system has its own emphasis.

  Accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system is the second item in the economic work in 2023 arranged by the Central Economic Work Conference.

  In this regard, Changsha, Hefei, Qingdao, Jinan, Fuzhou and other cities have layouts, but the emphasis is different.

  Changsha focuses on the advanced manufacturing industry, and requires the in-depth implementation of the "Thousands of Hundreds" project of industrial development, upgrading and upgrading the "1+2+N" advanced manufacturing industrial cluster, accelerating the research and development and application promotion of cutting-edge technologies such as new energy, high-end equipment and artificial intelligence, and promoting the high-end, intelligent and green development of manufacturing industry.

  Hefei puts "accelerating the development of new industrial integration clusters" as the first item of "building a modern industrial system with higher quality", and proposes to enhance the service efficiency of "chain length system", optimize the layout of "16+N" key industrial chains, accelerate the expansion of three industrial clusters of new display, integrated circuit and artificial intelligence, and strive to become the second batch of new industrial clusters of national war.

  Qingdao proposes to promote the expansion and upgrading of advantageous industries, the development of emerging industrial clusters, the forward-looking layout of future industries, and the optimization and upgrading of modern service industries, and continuously improve the resilience and safety level of 24 key industrial chains.

  Jinan emphasizes "persisting in the strategy of strengthening the city through industry", and demands that the high-quality development of manufacturing industry should be taken as the main direction and the three-year action of accelerating the construction of a strong city through industry should be implemented.

  Fuzhou emphasizes developing modern agriculture with characteristics, promoting new industrialization, improving the "four major economies" and building a new system of modern service industry.

Beijing International Film Festival Game Animation Film Unit officially opened, and Daxun Wei broke the circle.


1905 movie network news On September 22nd, the 11th Beijing International Film Festival "Game Animation Film Unit" officially kicked off at the National China Film Digital Production Base.The guests attending this forum include Cui Yan, director of Beijing Radio and Television Station Beijing International Film Festival Operation Center and executive deputy director of Beijing International Film Festival Organizing Committee Office, Song Lei, director of China Animation Group Development Research Department, producer Apollo, director of "Six Generations of Zhong Kui" Wang Yuxi, and Huang Shi, an associate professor and game design expert of China Communication University. This forum discussed and studied the related topics of "the tradition and future of China animated films". In the afternoon, the actor made a surprise appearance as the propaganda ambassador of the event and watched the game live.


Song Lei, director of the Development Research Department of China Animation Group, shared "Heroic Creation in China Animation in the New Era" at the scene. In the content of his speech, the "hero" in hero animation can be seen by the audience, and most of them have the attributes of "identity interaction" or "healing interaction". In his view, more "heroic images" can combine the two attributes, such as the image of "Luo Xiaohei" in the movie, "its own image of a child and the image of becoming a black cat have both."


Obviously, the core of the creation of heroic animation is to create characters that can inspire the audience’s recognition. If this kind of identity can be connected with mainstream values, it can also become a "hero" among eulogists. In China’s animation creation, the well-known Avanti image is completely comparable to this kind of creation. Song Lei also mentioned at the scene that the creation of heroic images should come from the people and ultimately seek benefits for the people, which is also the main reason why The Story of Avanti has attracted much attention in the past.


At the end of his speech, he emphasized that when creating heroic characters, "we can expand and innovate famous people with unknown personalities, but don’t break the personalities of people who have formed a well-known impression." He pointed out that when the animated film was created, it broke the villain image of "Shen Gongbao" in the past, which caused negative comments from the audience after it was released.


Wang Yuxi, the director of Six Generations of Zhong Kui, worked in Disney’s Beijing branch for four years. He admitted that during this period of work, he realized that there was indeed a gap between China’s animation industrialization and Hollywood’s, but this gap could make animators see the plan and have more energy to move forward. He said that at present, in China’s animation creation, "inheritance" is the core of China culture, and it is also the responsibility of China animators. As a child, he grew up watching the animation of the film studio, and he also lamented that there were directors in the past and later.


Talking about his current animated film "Six Generations of Zhong Kui", he once again thanked Tian Xiaopeng for the "Return of the Great Sage". "With his success, everyone is willing to invest in us now." It is reported that the film is scheduled to meet the audience in 2022.


In the afternoon, the event also held a wonderful "Never Robbed" team competition on the platform. Daxun Wei made a surprise appearance as a star guest and watched the battle.

2024 Tank 300: How high is the car maintenance cost of an independent luxury SUV?

Let’s take a look at some basic information about this car. Needless to say, the luxury and hard-core square box of this car can provide front electric/heating/ventilation leather seats as soon as it enters the cabin, 9-speaker Swallow Lise audio and dual-zone air conditioning to ensure comfort, as well as dual 12.3-inch LCD screens and corresponding intelligent network connection system, covering intelligent voice, remote vehicle control and other interconnection functions. Coupled with blind spots and panoramic chassis images, L2-level assisted driving in the middle of the lane, and+fog lights to ensure all-weather driving, its functionality is still outstanding.

In terms of mechanical hardware, it is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 167kW and a maximum torque of 387 N m. It will be matched with ZF 8AT gearbox and part-time 4wd system to realize torque amplification. In addition, it also has front and rear double differential locks, and supports low-speed four-wheel drive, tank turning and other functions. The passing capacity of various road conditions can be seen.

In terms of insurance cost, we calculated the bare car price as 216,800 yuan, including major commercial comprehensive insurance (excluding additional insurance such as glass insurance/water crossing insurance/spontaneous combustion insurance/theft insurance) and compulsory insurance. The insurance cost of the vehicle in the first year is about 6,901 yuan. Based on the calculation of 60,000 kilometers in three years, 10% discount in the second year/20% discount in the third year, the average insurance cost in the first three years is about 6,211 yuan/year.

In terms of maintenance cost, the maintenance frequency of tank 300 is 7500 km/time, 5000 km/time and 12500 km/time. The first two maintenance are free, including 1 brake oil, 1 gearbox oil, 1 antifreeze and 2 spark plugs. The oil and oil filter are replaced every time, and the air conditioner/air conditioner/gasoline filter is replaced every other time. In the first three years, the total maintenance cost of 60 thousand kilometers was about 2992 yuan, and the average annual maintenance cost was about 997 yuan/year.

In terms of fuel cost, the WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption of tank 300 is 9.90L/100km. According to the current average price of No.92 gasoline of 8.48 yuan /L, we calculate that the average fuel cost of 60,000 km in the first three years is about 16,790 yuan/year.

Together with insurance, maintenance, fuel and annual vehicle and vessel tax, the main vehicle cost of Tank 300 is about 24,398 yuan a year, that is to say, the vehicle maintenance cost will reach 2,033 yuan a month, which is actually very close to the compact or medium-sized luxury SUV equipped with a 2.0T engine, which may be the price of pursuing off-road driving in various road conditions.

Nevertheless, the cumulative sales volume of Tank 300 in the first eight months of 2023 has reached 62,240 units, and the average monthly sales volume has reached 7,780 units, which fully demonstrates the continuous competitiveness of the car in the market. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the tank 300 does maintain its core competitive advantage in power performance and multi-road driving ability, and at the same time, it also meets the needs of urban drivers in terms of intelligence and comfort through a series of luxury configurations. How can such a comprehensive hard-core off-road vehicle not make people "love and hate"?

??Sharp comment on BYD’s cooperation with Uber: BYD needs to change its route as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome

On August 1st, Uber, the originator of online ride-hailing, announced that it will cooperate with BYD to add 100,000 electric vehicles to the platform. The cooperation will be launched first in Europe and Latin America.

In addition, the two sides will also cooperate to develop future BYD cars and deploy them on the Uber platform. CEO Musk also paid attention to this matter, and immediately issued his own sharp comment, saying: BYD needs to change course quickly, otherwise it will be in trouble. Why did Musk suddenly have such a statement? That’s because the media quoted Li Yunfei, the general manager of BYD’s brand and public relations department, in the article reporting the cooperation between BYD and Uber, that "fully autonomous driving is basically impossible." Obviously, Musk does not agree with this view at all. After all, Tesla’s ultimate goal is fully autonomous driving. Musk said earlier this year that he would launch a special taxi on August 8, and in the earnings call, Musk also said that the release date would be delayed to October 10.

??Sales of South Korea’s top five automakers fell 2.2% year-on-year in July, falling for three consecutive months

According to the sales performance released by South Korea’s five major vehicle manufacturers on August 1, the total sales volume of Korean-made automobiles at home and abroad (including full parts assembly) decreased by 2.2% year-on-year in July, which was 658,297 vehicles.

A Rookie in the Luxury Electric Vehicle Market: Avita’s Ambitions and Challenges

  Avita Technology recently launched a new model, Avita 07, which has attracted the attention of the industry. The new energy vehicle brand jointly built by (), Huawei and () is showing an ambitious attitude in the luxury electric vehicle market. However, the current situation of sales falling short of expectations and continuous losses also raises questions about its development prospects.

  A high starting point cannot hide the performance dilemma

  Avita attracted much attention at the beginning of its establishment. Three rounds of financing were nearly 8 billion yuan, and the valuation soared to 20 billion yuan. With the support of industry giants such as Changan Automobile, Huawei and Ningde Times, the starting point can be said to be quite high. However, the reality gave Avita a a blow.

  In the first eight months of 2024, Avita delivered only 36,400 vehicles, far short of the target of 100,000 vehicles for the whole year. The average monthly delivery is less than 5,000 vehicles, which is dwarfed by competitors. What is more worrying is that Avita has accumulated losses of more than 7 billion yuan in the past two and a half years, and the debt ratio is as high as 94.46%. This "high input, low output" situation makes people doubt the sustainability of its business model.

  The double-edged sword of luxury positioning

  Avita’s high-end strategy partly explains its poor sales. The price range of around 400,000 yuan limits the target customer group to a relatively narrow range. In the current economic climate, consumer demand for high-end electric vehicles may not be as strong as expected.

  However, the high-end positioning also brings brand premiums and technical advantages to Avita. The deep cooperation with Huawei, especially the proposed purchase of a 10% stake in Huawei, shows Avita’s ambitions in the field of intelligent driving. This may be the key to Avita’s pursuit of breakthroughs.

  Key factors for future development

  In the face of the current dilemma, Avita’s development strategy is worthy of attention.

  1. Product line expansion: Launch Avita 07 to expand the product matrix to attract consumers in more market segments.

  2. Technology upgrade: The in-depth cooperation with Huawei is expected to make breakthroughs in areas such as intelligent driving and enhance product competitiveness.

  3. Cost control: How to balance costs and profits while pursuing high-end positioning will be an important challenge for Avita’s management.

  4. Market education: As an emerging brand, how to build brand awareness and loyalty in the luxury electric vehicle market requires long-term market cultivation.

  The story of Avita reflects the opportunities and challenges of China’s new energy vehicle market. In this highly competitive track, only strong financial support and high-end brand positioning are not enough. How to find a balance between technological innovation, cost control and marketing will determine whether Avita can stand out in the future competition.

  For consumers and investors, Avita’s development trajectory is undoubtedly worthy of continued attention. It not only represents a microcosm of the transformation of China’s auto industry to high-end and intelligent, but also an important indicator to measure the global competitiveness of domestic luxury electric vehicle brands. In the next three to five years, whether Avita can achieve the transformation from "burning money" to "making money" will be the key to judging the success of its business model.

British architect Zaha passed away, his works include Wangjing SOHO and Galaxy SOHO

Zaha

Famous for Vitra Fire Station

  Zaha Hadi, a world-renowned British architect of Iraqi origin, died at 65 of a heart attack while being treated for bronchitis at a Miami hospital, according to a BBC report. She was known as the "witch" of architecture. She had four projects in Beijing: Wangjing SOHO, Galaxy SOHO, Lize SOHO and the new airport’s Terminal 1.

  Died suddenly in the hospital

  Zaha Hadid Architects confirmed her death on its Web site, which said she had contracted bronchitis earlier this week and had suffered a heart attack while being treated at a hospital. She died suddenly on the morning of March 31 local time. After the news of her death broke, the architects’ Web site was repeatedly busy and inaccessible.

  Extremely famous in the architectural world

  Zaha is well-known in international architecture, having become the first female architect to win the Pulitzer Prize in 2004, says Frank Gehry, a jury judge. "The 2004 winner is probably one of the youngest to win and one of the clearest designs I have seen in years. Her work is full of passion and innovation." Last year, Zaha became the first female architect to win the Royal Gold Medal, the highest award in British architecture, from the Royal Institute of British Architects.

  Zaha has designed many well-known architectural works around the world, such as the New National Arena in Tokyo, the BMW Central Building in Germany, the London Olympic Swimming Pool in the United Kingdom, the Abu Dhabi Performing Arts Center, the Innsbruck Cable Car Station in Austria, the Fino Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany, the Cincinnati Center for Contemporary Art in the United States, and the 170-meter glass tower in Milan.

  In Beijing, Zaha’s work includes New Airport Terminal 1, Wangjing SOHO, Galaxy SOHO, and Lize SOHO.

  Zhang Xin, chief executive of Soho China, also wrote on Weibo last night: "I just received the shocking news that my good friend Zaha Hadid, an architect, died of a heart attack this morning in Miami. Seeing her in New York last week, I didn’t expect her to be the last of us."

  Zaha’s employee, Chinese architect Shen Jianghai:

  Her temper is just critical of the design itself

  "She has influenced almost everyone who does architectural design," Shen Jianghai, a Chinese architect and former employee of Zaha, told reporters in the morning. Since she was 19 years old and a freshman in college, Zaha has been her most admired architect, and this worship has continued to this day. It has not changed for more than a decade, and no designer can replace it. "It was Zaha who let me know that architecture can be different, and it was also she who taught me from my freshman year how important it is for designers to persevere!"

  Shen Jianghai said that in June 2010, he was fortunate enough to get an interview with Zaha Architects and then went to work there. During his working days, everyone worked in a small house that used to be renovated by a girls’ school, so they were able to see her often. Although Zaha’s temper is not very good, it does not affect the charm of a designer at all, and she is usually very gentle, and her temper is only critical of the design itself. "In fact, at that time, I felt that her physical condition was not very good."

  Controversies are also her charm

  Mr. Shen said it was not unusual for Mr. Zaha’s architectural work to be the subject of controversy online a few years ago over his project in Beijing, which was described by some as "the curve of God and the waves of heaven" and others as ugly.

  "The controversy about Zaha is not limited to China. In fact, the world has been full of controversy about Zaha since she was discovered by Japanese architect Isozaki after her first project. But this is also the charm of Zaha, because she has led architectural design to a completely different field. Without her persistence and even paranoia, people would not know that architecture can also be streamlined." Shin Jianghai said that what he admires most about Zaha is her criticism of reality and her non-conformity.

  Talking about Zaha and China, in Shen Jianghai’s observation, he felt that Zaha was very interested in China, and not just in the market. "In addition, she sometimes invites colleagues to eat, and she also likes to go to an expensive Chinese restaurant near Chinatown."

  Today, the Architect’s Moments are filled with tributes to Zaha. As Shen Jianghai said, without Zaha, he would not be who he is today, and his designs would not be what they are today. "Please go all the way, many people say, you led mankind to a new world, and then you returned to your planet."

  character life

  The road to fame is full of thorns

  Zaha was born in 1950 in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, into a wealthy, enlightened family. Her parents believed in the independence of education, and they invested a lot of expectations in their daughter. Her father’s son, a close friend, was a brilliant architect, and the brother next door had a great influence on the young Zaha.

  In 1982, Zaha won the first prize in an international architectural competition held in Hong Kong, China, strengthening her belief in continuing in this field. However, Zaha’s work was rejected in the first review. It was Japanese architect Shin Isozaki who had the unique eyes to fish her plan out of the waste paper pile.

  Zaha was so inspired that she taught at Harvard, Yale and other prestigious universities, and her design works cover almost all design categories, including doors and windows, furniture, sculpture ornaments, lamps, chairs, water glasses and tableware. Her paintings are even more avant-garde and have been exhibited all over the world. Her works are permanently collected by industry authorities such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Deutsches Architecture Museum in Frankfurt.

  Ms. Zaha’s path to fame was fraught with thorns. Despite her early reputation as a "master deconstructionist," and despite her bold use of geometry and the many awards she has won, sometimes as many as four a year, many people still reject her bizarre designs.
