"Gold Supporting Actor" Wu Mengda passed away, bidding farewell to the golden supporting actor era of Hong Kong films again

On February 27, the famous Hong Kong movie star Wu Mengda passed away at the age of 70 due to ineffective treatment for liver cancer.

On March 1, "Bay Area Filmmakers Talk About Patriotism – Mr. Wu Mengda’s Work Seminar and Memorial" was held in Guangzhou, and people from the entertainment industry in the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area jointly missed "Uncle Da". It is planned that the funeral will be held in the underground salute hall of Hung Hom World Funeral Home on March 7, and the funeral will be held with a Christian ceremony the next day.

Zhou Xingchi, Wu Mengda’s friend for many years, once again became the focus of public attention, and immediately responded, "I have just learned this news. Although I have been paying attention to Wu Mengda’s condition during this time, I will be mentally prepared, but I am still very sad and reluctant. Wu Mengda’s illness came and went quickly. He is my partner and old friend for so many years, and now I can’t accept it."

In addition, many star friends such as Andy Lau, Li Lizhi, Ren Dahua, Shi Xiaolong, Wang Jing, Zhu Yin, Zhang Min, and Wang Zuxian, who have cooperated with Wu Mengda, have sent messages to mourn, and Wu Mengda’s old owner, the TV station, has broadcast a one-hour special "The Unparalleled Performing Arts Master Will Always Miss Wu Mengda" to show his memory.

Previously, on the 22nd of this month, Tian Qiwen revealed in an interview that Wu Mengda discovered that he was suffering from liver cancer at the end of 2020 and recently completed surgery and entered the chemotherapy stage.

Since 2014, Wu Mengda has been misreported to have passed away many times. At that time, he was in the hospital for emergency treatment due to heart failure caused by a virus infection, and he once lost 15 kilograms due to illness.

In 2017, Wu Mengda, whose physical condition was already not optimistic,Insist on participating in the filming and publicity of "The Wandering Earth" with illness.At the filming scene of the film, Wu Mengda, who played Grandpa Han Ziang, had to wear a dozen catties of mecha, and the scenes of hanging pressure were even more difficult. Almost every scene required a large gulp of oxygen.

In the past 50 years, Wu Mengda has participated in nearly 300 film and television works in his life, and has starred in 10 works within the second time, with a related box office of more than 5 billionBut what is even more fresh in every audience’s memory is that Wu Mengda strives to make every effort in each work,"I dare not disappoint the audience’s expectations."

Legends rise and fall,Create the self-cultivation of an actor

 

Born in 1952 in Xiamen City, Fujian Province, Wu moved to Hong Kong with his parents at the age of 7. In 1973, Wu Mengda began to study acting at the third stage of the Hong Kong Radio Television Artist Training Course, and two years later, he officially debuted and started his acting career.

Since childhood, Wu Mengda, who dreamed of appearing on the screen one day "should be very handsome", met Zhou Yun-fat, Du Qifeng and Lin Lingdong in the artist training class. Wu Mengda, who had always been among the best at that time, officially joined the industry after graduation, and started from the dragon set according to the rules of the newcomer entertainer at that time.

In 1979, Wu Mengda gradually grew up in the grinding career of the dragon set, and with the role of "Hu Tiehua" in "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", he gained high popularity and fame. Wu Mengda later recalled, "Even as soon as I got off the bus at the door of the hotel, there were a large number of female fans waiting for autographs."

However, Wu Mengda, who suddenly tasted the taste of fame and fortune, was once addicted to bars and casinos, drinking, playing cards and picking up girls for fun all day long, and owed 300,000 Hong Kong dollars in gambling debts the next year, becoming a "mud that cannot be supported" in the eyes of friends and colleagues, and facing a snow that has no play to accept.

At that time, Wu Mengda, who even considered suicide and career change, was determined to pay off his debts through hard work. From 1981 to 1985, he refocused on acting and constantly corrected himself. Just like the plot in "King of Comedy", Wu Mengda recounted reading Stanislavsky’s "Self-Cultivation of Actors" countless times, which provided a solid foundation and accumulated material for future performances.

The turnaround came from his old friend Johnnie To’s "Tianruoqing", in which Wu Mengda partnered with Andy Lau and played the sidekick "Taibao". Wu Mengda portrayed this gangster role at the bottom of society as "like a dog" through actions such as smoking cigarettes, hunchbacks, and details such as snobbery and flattery.This screen classic role made Wu Mengda popular in one fell swoop and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Since then, film appointments have continued and the pay has been considerable.

And to the post-70s and post-80s who shed many tears "Ye Qingwu","Uncle Da" Wu Mengda is often linked to "Xingzai" Zhou Xingchi through the "nonsensical head" label.

In 1989, Wu Mengda and the newly debuted Zhou Xingchi first collaborated on comedies such as the TV series "Hero of the World" and "He Came from the Jianghu". The two worked together in a tacit understanding and co-created the early nonsense-style videos. It was also from then on that the two developed the habit of temporarily chatting about classic passages in front of the camera.

The off-the-beaten-path comedy was so popular that it caught the attention of the film market. In 1990, Wu Siyuan invited the two to star in "Gambling with God," a low-cost defeat of Jackie Chan and Hui Guanwen’s films, setting a Hong Kong box office record of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars.

Since then, Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi have successively cooperated for 12 years, such as "Dragon and Phoenix Teahouse", "Truant Dragon", "Lu Ding Ji", "Truant Dragon 2", "King of Destruction", "Variety Star Lord", "God of Cookery", "Shaolin Football", etcMore than 20 film worksAmong them, in 2001 "Shaolin Football" broke the record again with a box office of more than 60 million Hong Kong dollars

And this film history story ended in the 2001 film "Shaolin Football".This is the last collaboration between the golden couple of nonsensical comedies.It is worth mentioning that this film has won seven Academy Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor, making it a swan song of the times.

The end of the legend,Farewell to the era of golden supporting roles in Hong Kong films

 

For many post-70s and post-80s who shed tears "Ye Qingwu", Wu Mengda’s death was also a reminder to some extent.With the decline of the Hong Kong film market and the aging of a generation of Hong Kong filmmakers, the greatest golden supporting role era of Hong Kong films is coming to an end.

Many of the golden supporting characters in the classic Hong Kong film "Memory Kill" are actually in the awkward situation of having no drama to shoot, and have not seen the audience on the big screen for many years.For example, Wu Mengda’s friend Tian Qiwen, who accompanied him all the time when he was seriously ill, played the corpse group performance of "Golden Bell Cover Iron Shirt" in "Shaolin Football" and "King of Comedy" in "Pain, but I am an actor"; Luo Jiaying, who is deeply bound to "only you", the Tang monk who interpreted and deconstructed the classic in "Journey to the West"; Yuan Qiongdan, who often plays the stupid and crazy old Dan, is also the exaggerated and coquettish pomegranate sister in "Tang Bohu Dot Qiuxiang" in Washington; Huang Yifei, who often shows the image of a small citizen or corrupt officials, has won the best supporting actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Bauhinia Award for his role as the big brother who can iron head in "Shaolin Football".

In addition to Chow’s comedies, a number of outstanding supporting villains have emerged in the vast blue ocean of Hong Kong movies with "action, comedy and gangsters" as the primary colors in their heyday. Among them, Lee Shau-kee, Ho Ka-koo, Cheng Kui-an and Huang Guangliang, who have starred in movies such as "Ancient and Dangerous Boys" and "Prison" and are called "the four villains of Hong Kong movies", are the most well-known to the audience.

In addition to Huang Guangliang, who participated in films such as "Prison Situation", "Lame Hao", "Top Ten Torture in the Qing Dynasty" and "Happy Events at Home", the other three have unfortunately passed away. "Big Silly" Cheng Kui’an, who often gave the audience a fleshy face and a fierce first impression, was good at playing villains such as the boss of the rivers and lakes, and died in 2009; Ho Jiaju, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards for his role as "Big Mi" in "Prison", died in 2015 in a bleak evening, leaving only a few hundred Hong Kong dollars in a few bank passbooks as an inheritance; Lee Shau-kee, who played the flesh and blood and convincing "Ji Ge" in "Ancient Confused Boy", died in 2019 in the last few years of his life, without any financial income, relying solely on the help of his brothers when he was young.

In addition, Lan Jieying, who has gone from a generation of movie queens to crazy and crazy, is also very sighing. She is the sexy and charming Spring Thirteen Niang in "Journey to the West" and the Lotus Fairy in "The Right Son". But this Muse, who became famous young at the age of 20 and is famous for "beautiful Wutai Mountain", died quietly at home in November 2018 at the age of 55 after several failed relationships.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, most supporting characters seem to be playing a certain kind of person, funny or ruthless on the screen for a lifetime. "Every character has its own unique characteristics, and there is no distinction between high and low stories." Even if you play a supporting role with a small number of roles,Wu Mengda also did not waste every frame of footage, using his own way to make the characters look as good as possible, and tried his best to show "the story behind each character".

Wu Mengda, who is happy and good at interpreting the life of a hundred flavors, turned his "acting sincerity" into every small character with their own life. These voices and images that will not fade, using time as evidence, recorded the traces of such an uncrowned "King of Comedy".

Hong Jinbao’s "thin and disembodied" cheeks are sunken, and he has lost more than 25 kilograms. Now he can only travel in a wheelchair

Dear readers, welcome to stay tuned for updates from Mok. Today we will introduce you to a former kung fu superstar, an actor who rose to prominence in the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. He is Samuel Hung.

It is hard to believe that he once weighed more than 100 kilograms. However, a photo from 2020 is eye-popping. His face is clear-cut, and there is no fat on his neck. Only skin is left. This slimming mystery has attracted widespread attention.

But what is even more worrying is that in recent years, photos taken by netizens show that Hong Jinbao has had to rely on a wheelchair to go out.

This has sparked speculation about what made the former kung fu superstar so different. Some speculate that he may be sick, but what exactly does it take to make someone lose more than 25kg in just one year?

Mr. Hung was a shining star of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema in the 1980s. He helped bring Hong Kong cinema to its peak with kung fu stars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li. His family background is also unusual. He was born into a film family. His grandfather Hong Ji and grandmother Qian Siying both left a strong mark on the history of Chinese cinema. This family background undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for Hong Jinbao’s acting career.

Hong Jinbao has been passionate about filming and kung fu since childhood. As a child, he entered the Peking Opera class of the China Academy of Drama to study. Among his classmates were many later kung fu superstars, such as Jackie Chan and Yuan Biao. And Hong Jinbao, as the oldest one, became the first person to set foot in the entertainment industry. At the age of 12, he entered the film industry as a child star. He began to participate in martial arts dramas at the age of 18. In his 20s, he has become a leading actor. Such achievements are no easy feat for a young person.

However, Samuel Hung’s career has not been smooth sailing. He once challenged Bruce Lee, but before he could stretch out his foot, Bruce Lee’s leg was already resting on his face.

The unexpected death of Bruce Lee scattered the martial artists who had followed him. For his own career, Hong Jinbao established the Hong Family Class. This group has trained many famous actors, including Jackie Chan, Afternoon Horse, Qian Jiale, etc. The most famous of them is Lin Zhengying. He became famous with "Mr. Zombie", and Hong Family Class also officially entered the Hong Kong film industry.

However, time is not forgiving. With the rise of the Internet, old-fashioned Hong Kong films have gradually been phased out by the times, and Hong Jinbao has gradually faded from the public eye. Although he directed and starred in a film "My Agent Grandpa" in 2016, his results are far worse than that of the year. He admits that he has not kept up with the changes of the times and feels like an old man who has been abandoned by the times.

In 2017, Samuel Hung underwent knee surgery. His knee problems have long been bothering him. After the surgery, the doctor advised him to lose about 25 kilograms of weight. Therefore, we have seen many photos of him on crutches or in a wheelchair in recent years. Samuel Hung follows the doctor’s advice very well. In general, he uses a wheelchair, and only in formal settings does he use crutches.

Photographs from 2020 show that Samuel Hung’s weight loss results are quite remarkable. He looks refreshed and in a good mood. However, in the past two years, he seems to have gained weight again. Some people have begun to wonder whether his illness caused the sharp weight loss. After all, a person’s sudden weight loss in a short period of time is often a sign of physical problems.

In fact, it was not out of the blue that Samuel Hung began to consciously control his weight after knee surgery. However, for the former kung fu superstar, his body has suffered too much damage, which may be the price of time.

Samuel Hung, a former screen star, is now old and away from the big screen. However, his classics will live on forever, and we hope he can take care of his body and have a wonderful time

Old age.

At this prime age, Samuel Hung may no longer be active in front of the screen, but his brilliance still illuminates the film industry. Countless audiences still miss his classic martial arts scenes and funny performances.

His works have long transcended the time of generations of audiences, becoming immortal classics that will forever remain in the pages of film history.

We cannot predict the future of Samuel Hung. Perhaps he will continue to be active in the entertainment industry in other ways, or he may choose to enjoy a peaceful retirement. Either way, his contributions and legends will always be remembered, and his story will continue to inspire a new generation of actors and audiences.

In the end, Samuel Hung’s experience tells us that time leaves its mark on everyone, but no matter what, we should cherish our health, fight against adversity, and embrace every stage of life. Samuel Hung was the "flexible fat man", and now he is the eternal kung fu superstar in our hearts.

An article understands the latest development of intelligent driving in LI.

  Recently, the first Ideal Home Technology Day was held in Changzhou Intelligent Manufacturing Base, LI. Under the guidance of "dual-energy strategy", LI has made important breakthroughs in the research and development of smart space, intelligent driving and high-voltage pure electric platform. The ideal SS intelligent space with Mind GPT as the core and the ideal AD intelligent driving which will open the city NOA internal test this month have entered the era of large model at the same time. The ideal 800V high-voltage pure electric platform supporting 5C charging will open the 5G era of charging speed.

  The ideal AD Max 3.0, which entered the era of big model, is growing and iterating at an unimaginable speed in the past. At the product level, the urban NOA function that does not rely on high-precision maps will be delivered to the internal test users in Beijing and Shanghai, so that users can have an ever-evolving "AI driver". In the second half of the year, the commuting NOA function will be opened to users, so that users can have their own "exclusive elevator", making commuting easier and more convenient. On the technical level, AI big model technology is used to deal with all the challenges in the scene, and all the problems can be efficiently iterated and finally solved.

  Perception algorithm: like people, it does not depend on maps and recognizes everything.

  The core of not relying on high-precision maps is to use BEV model to perceive and understand the road structure information in the environment in real time. Through a lot of training, the current BEV model has been able to generate stable road structure information in real time at most roads and intersections.

  For complex intersections, the method is to use the self-developed NeuralPriorNet network (NPN network for short) to extract NPN features of intersections in advance. When the vehicle drives to the intersection again, the previously extracted NPN features are taken out and fused with the BEV feature layer of the vehicle-side perception model, and a perfect perception result is obtained.

  The NPN feature is a bunch of neural network parameters, from which humans can’t directly understand the complex intersection shape, but the large model can. Compared with high-precision maps, NPN features have more information and higher confidentiality. It uses network model instead of artificial rules to understand and use environmental information.

  It is not enough to understand the intersection. "AI drivers" have to understand the traffic rules of traffic lights at intersections, which is another difficulty of urban roads. The mainstream approach is to establish a set of rules and algorithms for traffic intentions of traffic lights and roads, but the ideal is to choose a large model to solve it.

  An end-to-end TrafficIntentionNet network (TIN network for short) is ideally trained. There is no need to set any rules artificially, or even to identify the specific location of traffic lights. As long as the image and video are input into the TIN network model, the network can directly give the result of how the vehicle should go now — — Turn left and right, go straight or stop waiting. By learning the reaction of a large number of human drivers to the change of traffic lights at intersections, the TIN network model is trained, and good results are obtained.

  As shown in the following figure, at the intersection, the TIN network gives the probability of different traffic intentions at the intersection in real time according to the input video image, and the maximum probability value is the actual use intention, which is completely consistent with the indication of the signal light. When the red light is on, the network output waiting probability value is the maximum, and the vehicle keeps waiting. When the green light is on, the left turn probability of the network output increases to the maximum, and the vehicle starts to turn left. Although the result looks simple, the technology behind it is very advanced.

  In the face of common obstacles that may appear on the road, such as construction roadblocks, scattered objects, goods protruding from the back of trucks, etc., Occupancy network is used to accurately identify their boundaries and types. In recent months, the ideal Occupy network has been iterated wildly, and a lot of training miles have been "fed", and the content and accuracy of recognition have been greatly improved.

  Regulation algorithm: free control like a human.

  In order to make "AI drivers" make reasonable judgments like human drivers in driving decisions and trajectories, it is ideal to apply imitation learning method to the planning and control algorithm, and train a large number of drivers’ driving behaviors, so that the decision-making and planning of urban NOA can make judgments more like human drivers on the premise of ensuring safety and conforming to traffic rules.

  For example, when the vehicle needs to turn right, according to the traffic rules, you can choose either of the two lanes after turning right to merge. However, by observing a large number of human driving trajectories, it is found that more than 90% users will take the right second lane instead of the right first lane, because the safety and efficiency of the right first lane are not as good as that of the right second lane directly, and the turning radius of the right second lane is larger, the turning process is more stable, and the family will be more comfortable. Therefore, the final result of the model’s learning and training at this intersection is also inclined to take the right two lanes.

  Training platform: continuous evolution like human beings.

  The evolution of large-scale model needs a powerful basic training platform to complete fast and efficient training and iteration. Ideal started the construction of training platform very early. Up to today, it has grown into an autonomous driving training cluster with 1200 PFLOPS computing power, and the mileage of autonomous driving training has exceeded 600 million kilometers.

       Urban NOA open logic

  Whether a city can open the use of NOA mainly depends on the completion of NPN characteristics of complex intersections in the city. By counting the R&D platforms covered by NPN in cities, we can see the coverage of NPN now, and each point above represents a complex intersection that needs to make NPN features. Among them, green represents the NPN feature of the intersection, which has passed the test and verification and is available, red represents the NPN feature but needs to be verified, and gray represents no NPN feature. At present, there are many red NPN characteristic points all over the country, and there are many green NPN intersections in Beijing and Shanghai where early birds and test cars appear frequently. Next, after the early bird users join, these spots will turn green faster and faster, which means that more and more cities are open.

  The commute you need more, NOA

  Commuting to and from work is usually the most tiring time of the day and the time when driving assistance is most needed. If this road can be opened by NOA, it will solve the big problem. Therefore, it is ideal to introduce commuter NOA products that everyone needs more. With commuting NOA, you don’t need to wait for the NPN features of the whole city to be trained. You just need to set your own commuting route and learn NPN features by car, and you can use NOA functions on this route after learning. If you commute every day, the simple route can be activated within one week, and the more complicated route is expected to be enough to complete the training in 2-3 weeks.

An article to understand the latest development of intelligent driving in LI _fororder_image012

  It is estimated that commuting NOA can cover more than 95% of the commuting scenes of ideal car owners. During the use of NOA for commuting, each model will continue to be iteratively trained, and the better it is, the better the experience will be. With commuting NOA, it is like having your own "exclusive elevator" on the way to and from work, which is definitely the NOA function you need now.

  This month, the ideal will open the NOA internal test of cities in Beijing and Shanghai, and early bird users can take the lead in using the NOA function of cities. In the second half of the year, it is ideal to open the commuting NOA function and more NOA areas in cities, so that every early bird user can use NOA navigation to assist driving during daily commuting.

  All these are the advanced achievements brought by AI big model technology. Through the leading technical architecture and excellent iterative efficiency, AD Max 3.0 platform will gradually meet the needs of all cities and users to use NOA functions on urban roads. When commuter NOA and urban NOA expand on a large scale, it will be a "just-needed configuration" for mid-to high-end cars that can’t be sold well without equipment. (Photo courtesy of LI)

There are still four questions to be solved in the "desperate" cross-country race where more than 10% of the contestants were killed →

  Gansu Baiyin cross-country marathon, 172 people participated and 21 people were killed. How did this "desperate" cross-country race, in which more than 10% of the contestants were killed, happen? Although the search and rescue has been announced to be over, it is undoubtedly difficult to put an end to this incident. Judging from the information released so far, there are still some questions to be solved.

  Question 1: Why does the weather forecast fail to play an effective early warning role?

  Some contestants said that the day before the competition, the weather was gloomy, so they consulted the locals. The other party said that it would be sunny after the wind passed, so they didn’t care. Kang Yongxue, director of the Jingtai County Meteorological Bureau, introduced that he provided an information report for the event."gale blue warning".

  Song Ming, the head of a famous outdoor club in Gansu, said that extreme weather prediction is one of the prerequisites for large-scale sports events to deal with emergencies. The biggest mistake of this incident is that the operators did not correctly predict the early warning provided by the meteorological department.

  Question 2: Is the track guarantee complete? Is the supply station set up reasonably?

  Some contestants recalled that after the second punch point, the wind was so strong that they could only grasp the ground with both hands, and they were frozen and stiff, and it was useless to wrap up the insulation blanket until they fainted and lost consciousness. In this cross-country race, a list of equipment was made for the contestants, and warm equipment such as jackets was only used as a suggested option, but not as mandatory equipment.

  Experts believe that for contestants who don’t bring relevant equipment, they will be caught off guard when they encounter extreme weather. According to the scheduled plan, the contestants arrive at the track supply station at night, and there are no other supply stations in the most dangerous place, which is unreasonable.

  Question 3: Is it timely for the organizer to stop the competition?

  Participants all said that they did not receive a notice from the organizer to stop the competition before they lost consciousness or were injured. At 12 o’clock on the 22nd, the contestants posted a distress message in the WeChat group, and the organizer stopped the competition at 14 o’clock.

  Experts said that what is different from the usual marathon is that this marathon cross-country race is more extreme sports. There should be a plan to suspend or suspend this kind of competition in case of special weather.

  Question 4: Is there an emergency rescue plan? Is the rescue capability enough?

  The safety management and emergency rescue of extreme sports events must be highly valued, and relevant departments must strengthen the pre-competition review of rescue plans. Experts believe that from the rescue situation, the rescue guarantee can not arrive at the first time, which is also an important reason for the serious consequences of this event.

  Sports events not only require athletes to be professional.

  The professionalism of extreme sports events cannot be just the professionalism of athletes. In the silver incident, 21 people were killed, and there were many top professional athletes among the victims. This is very different from the sudden death of non-professional athletes in many previous marathons. Extreme sports events have a high threshold. Not only the participants need to have physical conditions, professional knowledge and training preparation suitable for the difficulty of the competition, but also have extremely high requirements for the professionalism of the organizers. For example, the meteorological system, first aid system, medical system and security system of the competition must be prepared and prepared in accordance with professional standards. These systems may be used without reserve, but they cannot be used without reserve. Once unprepared, it’s too late to regret.

  In response to this incident, the State Sports General Administration held an emergency meeting last night, demanding that the risk assessment of sports events be strengthened in the safety management of major events, and that safety work plans and emergency plans be formulated in a targeted manner. It should be said that this requirement is a timely rectification of the barbaric growth of irregular competitions and events. The practice of only paying attention to setting high bonuses to attract athletes to participate in the competition, but unwilling to invest in the most important safety guarantee should be stopped. Only when we are stable can we achieve far-reaching goals, and only when we get rid of barbaric growth can we grow healthily.

One ticket is hard to find! The search volume has soared by a hundredfold! Waist flag football has become the new favorite of young people! Where’s the fun?

After camping, frisbee and other outdoor sports lead the trend, a sport called waist flag rugby has recently become popular in many cities across the country. Not only is it hard to find a venue ticket, but some schools have also included it in the physical education curriculum.
The flag football has caught fire in some schools and included it in the physical education curriculum.

Different from the traditional rugby rules, waist flag rugby is not allowed to hug and push people. The defender needs to pull out the waist flag of the attacker who holds the ball, while the attacker needs to take the ball to the touchdown for a limited number of times. A coach told reporters that compared with the intense physical contact of traditional football, waist flag football is more gentle and more interesting.
The person in charge of the club said that the sport quickly became popular among young people aged 20 -40 this year because of its relatively simple entry.
Easy entry and high interactivity may be the reasons for the popularity of this sport. The reporter observed that in addition to the coaches and team members, the scene was also equipped with special photographers, who were responsible for capturing everyone’s sports moments and sharing them for the first time. On a social platform, searching for flag football shows that there are more than 10,000 shared notes.
Wang Zhuma, head of trend sports in a social platform sports group:In March this year, the data ushered in an explosive growth, and by May this year, the release volume increased by 2.7 times compared with that in March, and the search volume about flag football reached a very exaggerated growth of several hundred times.
It is hard to get a ticket at night, and rugby is gradually industrialized.

In just a few months, flag football has attracted the attention of many young people. What is the cost of participating in this sport and what are the requirements for the venue?
The person in charge of the operation of a stadium in Baoan District of Shenzhen told the reporter that every weekend is the most full time here. This year, in addition to daily training, their football field has many more players playing flag football and Frisbee, and the venue reservation will be robbed as soon as it goes online.
Wang Chao, general manager of a sports culture development company in Shenzhen:On the platform, a new day’s venue is launched three days in advance. Basically, the new day’s venue is released. Within 5 minutes at 0: 00 in the morning, the venue will be robbed by everyone. From Monday to Sunday, prime-time performances are basically fully booked.
Wang Chao’s prime time refers to two performances at 6:30-8:30 and 8:30-10:30 in the evening. At present, even the night show, which doesn’t end until 10: 30 in the evening, is still hard to get a ticket.
From the perspective of organization and operation, participating in flag football includes venue fees and coach fees, most of which are within 100 yuan per person.
In addition to attracting office workers, the flag football is also entering the campus. In April this year, the Beijing Primary and Secondary School Sports Association issued the Notice of the 2022 Beijing Primary and Secondary School Flag Football Competition to promote the comprehensive promotion and development of this sport. According to industry insiders, there will be more and more professional teams and professional events around the flag football in the future.
