Jay Chou shoots a new play "Counterwar" night market segment to attract crowds


Chairperson Zhou appeared


"Reverse War" takes live pictures

    Jay Chou, who had a busy schedule, flew to Malaysia to continue filming "Reverse War". On the evening of May 11, he appeared in the back alley of Zhongnan District, Qiujie Road. In addition to playing a one-man show as a taxi driver, he also played opposite Liao Qizhi, the owner of a "food stall". Residents in the back alley of Zhongnan District in Kuala Lumpur learned of Mr. Chou’s visit and flocked out to see the superstar’s style. More than 100 people filled the back alley, but this move did not affect Mr. Chou’s good mood. Hearing the screams of fans, he also gave a nod and smile in response to the enthusiastic fans. However, due to the crew coming to set the scene, some food stall employers were unable to open the file to do business, and suffered losses. As a result, they hugged the two superstars who came to the shooting scene and waited for the whole night to see Zhou Dong passing by in a hurry. Nicholas Tse had no part in the scene, so he couldn’t help but vomit bitterness at the scene and shouted: "I thought I could see them, but there was no result!" 

    At 7:50, Zhou Dong, dressed in gray tights, first performed a one-man show with a taxi, and then went to a food stall in the back alley of Zhongnan District to shoot, along with Liao Qizhi. One scene tells the story of Zhou Dong getting up and down a taxi. He was received by the director after only 5 minutes of shooting. As a result, the crew spent nearly 2 hours installing equipment, and Zhou Dong completed the scene in 5 minutes.

    After the taxi show ended, Mr. Zhou walked into the back alley and waited for his seat to be buried. It was not until 8:50 p.m. that he was seen walking quickly to the mobile lounge under the escort of security guards and assistants. After resting in the lounge for an hour and 10 minutes, Mr. Zhou reappeared at 10 p.m. and began filming until the early morning.

Takeaway’s revenue exceeded 300 billion yuan last year. Is your Internet takeaway healthy enough?

  Eating and ordering takeout has become the lifestyle of many young people. Data show that the scale of China’s catering industry exceeded 4 trillion yuan in 2018, of which the takeout revenue exceeded 300 billion yuan, accounting for 7.5% of the national catering market. But is your takeout healthy enough? This question has left nutritionists worried. Recently, the 2019 China Nutrition Society-Yum Brands Catering Health Foundation Annual Meeting and the 12th Catering Health Academic Symposium with the theme of "Catering Innovation and Nutrition Health" was held in Hangzhou, and Internet catering health has become a hot topic of concern for experts. Chen Junshi, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, pointed out that in recent years, takeout has emerged in the catering industry, and the number of people eating out is increasing. How to make takeout more nutritious and balanced needs to innovate the health education model.

  data

  Hot and sour potato shreds top the takeaway list

  According to the "Internet Catering Status Survey" conducted by Dr. Xu Weisheng of the Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Center for Disease Control, there are more than 1 billion online ordering users worldwide, of which China’s online ordering turnover accounts for 40%, ranking first in the world. Internet catering has entered a period of maturity and deepening, and the scale of takeaway transactions has maintained an annual growth rate of more than 20%. In 2018, the scale of Chinese catering exceeded 4 trillion, and takeaway exceeded 300 billion yuan. There are more than 11 million online restaurants in China, of which about 4 million are takeaway restaurants, with a penetration rate of 36.3%.

  According to the data analytics of the Ele.me platform in 2018, although the proportion of users ordering takeaway every day or the next day is only 5%, the number of users ordering more than 200 times a year has exceeded 10 million. Takeaway orders are mainly for lunch and dinner. The national per capita customer unit price is mainly 20-39 yuan. Orders with a customer unit price of more than 100 yuan increased by 56% year-on-year in 2017.

  Through the data mining analysis of takeaway orders, Xu Weisheng found that people’s overall meat consumption is high, aquatic product consumption is low, and there are more fried and spicy foods.

  Interestingly, in the list of the top ten online meals ordered for lunch and dinner on the Internet, "hot and sour potato shredded" firmly occupies the first position. In addition, burgers, fried chicken fins, and shark-flavored shredded meat also make the list. "Long-term high-frequency consumption of high-oil and high-salt foods may increase health risks such as overweight, obesity, and hypertension. It is recommended that citizens should increase the amount of vegetable food when ordering takeout, and catering companies should also increase the supply of such food." Xu Weisheng advised.

  trend

  Internet catering health attracts attention

  The Chinese Nutrition Society – Yum! Brands Catering Health Fund was jointly established by the Chinese Nutrition Society and Yum! Brands China to support food health and nutrition science research.

  The reporter found that among the projects funded in 2018, the nutrition and health of eating out became a hot topic. Ma Wenjun, director of the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Public Health, reported at the meeting that he is working with Guangdong University of Technology to "Eat Out Nutrition Evaluation APP" to try to build a Cantonese food database and train artificial intelligence image recognition technology, allowing users to identify dietary nutrients and obtain nutritional guidance by taking pictures through the APP. Professor Fan Zhihong of China Agricultural University also pointed out at the meeting that the survey shows that compared with eating at home, the intake of fat and sodium is higher, which increases the risk of hypertension and obesity. It is recommended to improve the nutritional environment of catering and promote nutritional health.

  The special project fund will give priority to two research directions this year, namely the innovative technology of the catering industry in the "three reduction" and the construction of healthy restaurants. Among the 60 project applications, the expert team reviewed and voted by the fund management committee. Finally, 7 projects including "Research on the Status of Online Food Ordering and Nutrition and Health Issues of College Students" and "Development of a mobile end evaluation system for the nutritional environment of new catering units of your choice" were funded by the fund.

  Professor Yang Yuexin, Chairman of the Chinese Nutrition Society, Academician Chen Junshi of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor Yang Xiaoguang, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Nutrition Society, Professor Su Yixiang, Honorary Director, Ms. Wang Lizhi, Chief Public Affairs Officer of Yum China, and more than 100 experts and scholars from the field of nutrition and health, representatives of relevant government departments and media representatives attended the meeting. According to the data released by the conference, as of this year, the special project fund has funded more than 70 scientific research projects, with a total funding amount of more than 18 million yuan.

How much do you know about the background story of "Hunting in the Air"?


1905 movie network news 2017 is a big year for audiences who love war movies. The appearance of the movie has boosted the box office of China mainland to an unprecedented height, and also let everyone see the potential of domestic main melody films. Later, it was shown in the mainland, showing the individual’s experience in the war, and the smoke of war decades ago reappeared on the screen. In contrast, aiming at the eleventh gear is a sword on the side, which shows the People’s Air Force under the background of the new international situation and the information age for the first time, and also shows the equipment development and actual combat capability of the People’s Air Force in the past five years.

 

 

As the first work directed and performed by Jerry Lee, Hunting in the Sky tells the story of the squadron of "Overlord Sirius" which gathers the elite of the air force, and is ordered to attack bravely in the face of the crisis when terrorists from neighboring countries control the missile well and take China citizens hostage. Among them, the emotional line between Jerry Lee and Fan Bingbing runs through from beginning to end, and transnational joint anti-terrorism and assistance to China citizens are also displayed in great length.

 

The main performance of "Hunting in the Air" is air force pilots, and air combat is the biggest attraction of this film. The main aircraft types of the Air Force, such as J -20, J -11B, J -10C, Yun -20, Air Police 500, Zhi -8, Zhi -9, etc., appeared in a concentrated manner, among which J-20 appeared in a fighting posture for the first time, and J -10C and Mirage 2000 confronted each other in complex terrain, and all kinds of difficult tactical actions were very enjoyable.

 

For war-themed works, if you don’t know much about the background knowledge of the film, the viewing effect will be greatly reduced, and the little knowledge behind the film "Hunting in the Air" is actually more interesting.

 

 

Military uniform: 17-style flight suit, 07-style military uniform, camouflage uniform.

 

Whether in the film or at the press conference, Li Chen is wearing a new flight suit that has not yet been installed. This gray-green one-piece flight suit looks simple and beautiful, and its subordinate troops are marked in an eye-catching position on the chest, which is obviously different from the current Type 02 flight suit in terms of color and style.

 

In a scene of parachute training in desert area, Jerry Lee, wearing a 17-style flight suit, was able to move freely after landing. He used his running track to write down the coordinate orientation of "South Mountain South" in the navigation system, which showed that this one-piece flight suit was light and convenient for pilots to move in a narrow cockpit.

 

 

At the same time, there is also a winter flying leather coat that is different from the current equipment, and there is an obvious hook and loop combination of rank and name on the chest of the leather coat. There is also a pocket with zipper above the left arm for convenient storage. This flying leather coat is more like a symbol of the membership of Batian Wolf Squadron in the film, which belongs to the fiction in the film.

 

 

The 07 navy uniform was briefly introduced in Wolf Warriors 2, and the 07 air force uniform was also shown in more space in Hunting in the Air. According to the rank configuration, the role played by Wang Xueyin, an old opera player, is the highest. When entering the command center, Wang Xueyin appeared in a uniform coat. This coat is designed with hidden buttons and a belt at the waist, which is simple and generous. Comparing the uniforms of Wu Xiubo, Fan Bingbing and others, it will be found that Wang Xueyin’s big-brimmed hat is equipped with golden ribbons and brim flowers, while the ribbons of field officers and commandant officers are light blue.

 

 

As the representative of the female soldier image in the film, Fan Bingbing appeared in the camera with the unique rolled-off hat of female soldiers, and sat under the stage with the captain’s epaulettes to listen to the speech of the senior colonel played by Wu Xiubo.

 

In camouflage clothing, there are three kinds of undistributed equipment in "Hunting in the Sky": desert camouflage, blurred edge camouflage and snow camouflage. Among them, snow camouflage adds light gray to the white background, which is convenient to blend in with the surrounding environment.

 

 

According to the different environment, the airborne soldiers use the camouflage with blurred edges in the film, which can play an excellent camouflage effect in the dark.

 

Noun explanation: Barents sea scalpel with gold helmet

 

 

When recruiting excellent pilots to join the "Sirius" squadron, Wang Qianyuan repeatedly emphasized the golden helmet pilots, and the so-called golden helmet was actually a flying skill competition award set up by the China Air Force. As an annual competition, the pilots who compete in air-to-air competitions every year will get the physical reward of the golden helmet, which symbolizes the highest honor of the pilots and is also an affirmation of their ability.

 

 

When Wang Qianyuan was teaching students the history of war, he used Jerry Lee to intercept enemy fighters and compared it with the scalpel incident in Barents Sea. As the most famous Soviet air collision case during the Cold War, the Barents Sea scalpel incident has been mentioned many times. In 1987, the Norwegian Air Force’s P-3B anti-submarine patrol aircraft encountered a Soviet Air Force Su -27 fighter and was damaged by the other side’s vertical tail. According to the disclosure afterwards, the aerial contest consisted of three rounds and lasted for 17 minutes.

 

Main aircraft types: J -20, J -11B, J -10C, Yun -20, Air Police -500, Mirage 2000, Zhi -8 and Zhi -9.

 

 

"Hunting in the Air" is also a concentrated display of China Air Force equipment. The appearances of J -20, J -11B, J -10C, Yun -20, Air Police 500, Zhi -8 and Zhi -9 are dizzying, among which Yun-20 and J-20 appeared in front of the audience for the first time in a fighting posture. On the day before the film was released, a spokesman for China’s Ministry of National Defense said at a regular press conference of the Ministry of National Defense that the J -20 had been equipped with troops, which showed that this fighter had been finalized and entered the stage of small-scale production.

 

 

J -11B is the fighter plane that entered Mabu for the first time to perform its mission, with Wang Qianyuan as the leader and Jerry Lee as the wingman. After encountering the Sam -6 anti-aircraft missile controlled by terrorists, he made a wonderful escape. Finally, Jerry Lee accelerated to climb up after receiving the instructions, and Wang Qianyuan’s landline was damaged by the missile, and he himself was seriously injured in the eye.

 

 

A set of "combination boxing" appeared when the fighter plane was damaged and attacked Mabu again. Rainbow -5, a new UAV developed in China, cooperated with J -10C and Air Police -500 early warning aircraft mounted with Eagle Strike 91 anti-radar missiles, and Yun -20, which can perform long-distance air transportation tasks, and finally eliminated the terrorists entrenched in Mabu.

 

 

In the performance of foreign fighters, Mirage 2000 and F-15 appeared, among which the confrontation between J -10C and Mirage 2000 machine gun developed by France became the biggest highlight, and the picture of the confrontation between the two fighters in the valley was unforgettable.

 

 

In the film, Fan Bingbing plays a pilot who mainly flies a helicopter to perform a search and rescue mission. In the first mission to rescue people trapped by mudslides, Zhi -9 appeared, and the last mission was to drive Zhi -8.


Zhi -8 is a multi-purpose helicopter with many improved models, which was used to carry China citizens in Mabu in "Hunting in the Air". It can be clearly seen that the excellent transport capacity of Zhi -8 makes the overseas evacuation of overseas Chinese by the Air Force go smoothly, and it is also relatively smooth to travel through the complex terrain in mountainous areas. After terrorists from Mabu took the Mirage 2000 to aim at Zhi -8 on the way home, Jerry Lee made the decision of plane collision without ammunition.

Zhi -9 is a picture when the film begins to introduce Fan Bingbing who joined the Batianlang team. When the mudslide rushed to the primary school, Zhi -9 hovered over the target building and rescued the victims through ropes at the last minute.

 

Other equipment: reconnaissance robot, Bobcat ATV, Land Shield 2000 air defense system.

 

 

In the film, there are also brief pictures of reconnaissance robots, Bobcat ATVs, Land Shield 2000 air defense systems and other equipment, among which the domestic Bobcat ATVs with compact design and excellent handling performance performed well. This kind of car is used by airborne troops in the film, and it can gallop after carrying six passengers, which plays an auxiliary role in eliminating terrorists.

 

 

Land Shield 2000 air defense system appears in the film, which is used for terminal defense of the airport and can effectively intercept low-altitude targets such as air-to-ground missiles, cruise missiles and helicopters.

 

"Hunting in the Air" shows a lot of air force equipment for the first time, which is unforgettable. It is also a film that once again shows the image of China’s contemporary soldiers on the screen after the appearance of "Wolf Warriors 2", which triggered the topic. It has played an important role in establishing the image of contemporary China soldiers, enhancing people’s patriotic enthusiasm, and letting more and more audiences see the potential of China’s main melody films.


China people taste the Lantern Festival tradition from glutinous rice balls.

    Xinhuanet Taiyuan, February 21 ST (Reporter Liu Xiangyu) "Sweet-scented osmanthus is wrapped in walnuts, and the rice is like a pearl well. Seeing that Ma’s family is good at dripping powder, try to sell Yuanxiao in the wind. " A poem "Poems on Bamboo Branches in Shangyuan" written by China in Qing Dynasty presents a wonderful picture of making glutinous rice balls to the world.


    Tangyuan is a round dessert made of glutinous rice flour. China is called Yuanxiao in the north and Tangyuan in the south, which are slightly different in size, making method and preservation time. In China people’s diet dictionary, eating glutinous rice balls means "family reunion" and "everything is perfect".


    For this traditional food, many famous people in China have recorded it in poems. In the Song Dynasty, there was a poem in Jiang Baishi, saying, "The Lantern Festival competes to see the lotus-picking boat, and the BMW sedan picks up the cymbals. In the stormy night, people are exhausted, and the lonely lamp still calls for selling glutinous rice balls. "


    Nowadays, this delicacy has been given more meanings. At the same time of family reunion and sharing dumplings, many people in China like to immerse themselves in the tradition and savor its infinite meaning.


    China merchants have clearly captured this information sensitively, and paid more and more attention to highlighting the traditional flavor in the production, packaging and sales of glutinous rice balls. In addition to catering to the harmonious and auspicious values of Chinese people in the outer packaging, China merchants also pursue exquisiteness in the "connotation" of glutinous rice balls, such as full-grained black sesame seeds, crisp and mellow peanuts, chocolate, roses, red bean paste and sweet-scented osmanthus.


    In order to keep the glutinous rice balls original and mellow, some merchants resumed using the traditional stone mill processing method, striving for perfection in grinding fineness, keeping the temperature just right when baking, and making every second count when freezing.


    The small glutinous rice balls, inside and outside, have soaked up the traditional health care concept of China people. In the south of China, there is a kind of small dumpling with no stuffing, which can be cooked with longan red date soup or longan ginger soup. According to Chinese medicine, even soup can strengthen the body and dispel cold.

Nearly 60% of China’s demand for intelligent computing power comes from large models. How will the "gold" GPU chip play a greater role? | Silicon-based world

NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU (Source: NVIDIA)

In the era of artificial intelligence (AI) big model, computing power plays an increasingly important role and becomes a key productivity.

On December 20th, Titanium Media App recently learned from the first "AI Tech Day" conference that the report "White Paper on the Development of Intelligent Computing Industry in China in 2023" released by iResearch showed that the demand for large-scale model computing power broke out in 2023, and the industries related to AI large-scale model accounted for 58.8% of the total demand for intelligent computing power in China, close to 60%, which was the largest demand side of intelligent computing power. The second place is algorithm recommendation, accounting for 14.2%.

The report also shows that in 2022, the scale of intelligent computing power will account for 22.8% in China’s computing power structure, but in the same period, the shipment of AI servers will only account for 6.8% in China’s server structure. This means that intellectual computing resources are scarce, and the construction of intellectual computing center will effectively improve the supply and demand structure of intellectual computing resources in China.

Xu Fanlei, head of iResearch Industry Digital Research Institute, said that in the future, the general artificial intelligence (AGI) technology will continue to develop, which will promote the overall demand for intelligent computing. Therefore, it is necessary to have enough high-end intelligent computing power and constantly optimized software and hardware integration solutions, as well as to build ecological convergence upstream and downstream, full chain, and participants in various fields, and the use threshold is low and convenient enough.

In fact, over the past year or so, the generative AI technology represented by ChatGPT has been popular all over the world. Nvidia, which monopolized the global Al training chips with 95% market share, became the biggest winner of this round of AI melee, and its research and development of A100/A800, H100/H800 and other AI chips became the "explosive products" in the AI craze.

As NVIDIA itself said: "GPU has become a rare metal of artificial intelligence, even gold, because they are the foundation of today’s generative AI era."

From a technical point of view, GPU is superior to CPU, especially in parallel computing power, energy efficiency and CUDA ecology. Its high computing power and scalability make NVIDIA GPU the first choice in the AI accelerated chip market.

According to a recent report released by Stanford University, since 2003, the performance of GPU has increased by about 7000 times in the past 20 years, and the unit performance price has also increased by 5600 times. The report also pointed out that GPU is the key driving force to promote the progress of AI technology.

Nowadays, computing power is accelerating the evolution of applications in government affairs, industry, transportation, medical care and other industries, promoting the deep integration of the Internet, big data and artificial intelligence with the real economy, and greatly stimulating the innovation vitality of data elements.

According to public data, since 2018, the compound annual growth rate of the number of racks in China data center has exceeded 30%. By the end of 2022, there were more than 6.5 million standard racks in use. According to the calculation of China Information and Communication Research Institute, in 2022, the scale of the core industry of computing power in China will reach 1.8 trillion yuan, and every investment in computing power in 1 yuan will drive the economic growth of GDP from three to 4 yuan.

Then, with the increasing demand for AI models in China, the gap of NVIDIA’s GPU computing chips reaches 432,000 pieces. So, how will the "golden" GPU chips play more space?

At the first "AI Tech Day" meeting of InBev Mathematics Department held on December 18th, InBev Mathematics Department announced a strategic upgrade, from positioning a large model computing service provider in stage 1.0 to positioning an "AGI full-stack ecological service platform" in stage 2.0-providing a series of computing and full-stack solutions including IaaS infrastructure layer, PaaS platform layer, data engineering service, data store and model store for customers in the entire industrial chain of AGI, forming a "full-stack solution". In addition, InBev Mathematics Department has also launched "Bobo Cloud" service, as well as commercial landing projects such as "AGI Pan-Entertainment Alliance", "Wutong Project" and "MM Bean Project".

According to public information, Hongbo shares is a listed company whose main business is bill printing, but InBev Digital Branch, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NVIDIA’s server product supply, was established a year ago, and then Hongbo shares became a "computing power" concept stock and its share price soared.

On August 10th, 2022, Hongbo Co., Ltd. signed a four-party cooperation agreement with Zhongguancun Zhongheng Cultural Science and Technology Innovation Service Alliance, Nvidia Company and Beijing InBev Digital Technology Co., Ltd. to establish the "Beijing AI Innovation Empowerment Center". InBev Digital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, is the main body of the "Beijing AI Innovation Empowerment Center".

On December 4th this year, Hongbo shares disclosed a major contract announcement, and InBev Digital recently signed a Cloud Service Agreement with Baichuan Intelligent, founded by Wang Xiaochuan. During the agreement period, InBev Digital provided the latter with services such as high-performance computing or GPU computing technology. The total transaction amount involved in the agreement is estimated to be 1.382 billion yuan.

Zhou Wei, vice president of Hongbo Co., Ltd. and CEO of InBev Mathematics Department, said that the development from AI to AGI requires deep interdisciplinary integration. The company should not only build a one-stop service ecological closed loop, but also gather the top technical partners in China and even the world through this ecology, focusing on finding innovative computing solutions on the hardware side and data, model and algorithm optimization and upgrading solutions on the software side, thus relying on the single brand path of high-end intelligent computing equipment at this stage.

"Take a service provider who serves 15-20 small and medium-sized customers every year as an example. Through the calculation service fee and the sales rebate of Boboyun’s value-added service fee, combined with resource locking tools such as prepaid leverage, it is roughly calculated that every year (customers) can achieve gross profit income of hundreds of thousands."
