Interview with Director Zheng Xiaolong | Creation should tell the story of "people"

The closing battle report of TV series The Story of Xingfu came one after another. After Empresses in the Palace, who has been tossed and turned for 11 years, Zheng Xiaolong brought an excellent work with both reputation and popularity.

Few directors can expand the audience to all ages like Zheng Xiaolong, so that groups of different generations can find sympathetic emotions and characters in his works. Similarly, few directors can make their works last forever, constantly adding new audiences to the original basic disc, and their works are always new, always keeping the pulse and temperature of the same rhythm with the times.

Zheng Xiaolong, born in 1953, has been directing since the early 1990s. His works in different periods, such as Peking Man in new york, Golden Wedding, Empresses in the Palace, legend of miyue, Red Sorghum, Emergency Doctor, Meritorious Service, etc., have almost covered audiences after 60, 70, 80, 90 and 00, and he is a well-deserved national director. At the same time, he is also a literary and art worker who is very concerned about how individuals survive in the changing times. Under the focus of the camera, they are all concrete "people", and the "play meat" filled in the drama framework is also specific and subtle details. He always believes in a foothold. "Emotion and truth are common, and I mainly tell the story of’ people’."

The Story of Xingfu: Dead Water and Breaking.

The realistic TV series The Story of Xingfu, directed by Zheng Xiaolong and starring Zhao Liying and Liu Wei, has closed recently. As a long-lost rural theme work in the domestic drama market, the first broadcast of the drama set off a viewing craze. The prime-time TV live broadcast attracted the top two attention, and the online broadcast was less than an hour. The market share of the whole network drama reached the top, and the real-time broadcast market accounted for 11.46%. At the same time, because of the portrayal of realistic contradictions and the exposure of human weaknesses, it has repeatedly caused heated discussions on social platforms such as Weibo. In the whole broadcast process in The Story of Xingfu, it occupied the top spot in the lighthouse TV drama feature broadcast market for 22 consecutive days, and ranked third in the 2022 TV drama feature broadcast before closing. These steady and steady data all show the amazing national popularity of this work.

The Story of Xingfu was adapted from Chen Yuanbin’s novel The Legend of Autumn Chrysanthemum. At the beginning, Zheng Xiaolong took a fancy to this story. "It mainly tells the awakening of a woman’s self-awareness and legal awareness. Under the environment of emphasizing the rule of law, literary and artistic creation is of certain significance to the construction of the awareness of the rule of law. I think it is very good." Wanjiazhuang, as a famous star village with ten miles and eight townships, has reached a certain level in material accumulation. However, due to its inherent small-scale peasant ideology and clan consciousness, this village has become a "stagnant water" and gradually has the trend of "one word at a time". "So the theme of our story is to hope that people will pay more attention to the construction of spiritual civilization and legal civilization after the completion of material civilization construction. Because there is no progress in spiritual civilization and the rule of law, this’ rich’ will not grow. "

And the heroine’s happiness is the "breaker" of Wanjiazhuang’s stagnant water.

In the initial casting stage, Zheng Xiaolong decided to let Zhao Liying play He Happiness. "We worked together in the filming of Golden Wedding in 2006, and she played many rebellious third daughters in it. She was so stubborn. Moreover, she is born in the countryside and is no stranger to rural life and the state of farmers. "

Zheng Xiaolong believes that the character He Happiness comes with a "halo". Of course, "halo" is not an illogical protagonist halo, but "He Happiness has a basic personality, and she has a simple sense of justice, fairness and equality." As a rural woman with a low education level, she was so happy that her sister was married. She insisted on an apology and was pointed at by the villagers. However, Wanjiazhuang, whose clan consciousness is solidified, needs such a foreigner to break the deadlock. "Because she doesn’t understand the process of the village construction and the prestige of Wanshantang, the village party secretary, she just thinks that I can apologize if I am wrong, but you have to admit it if you are wrong. You have to apologize."

He Xingfu threw a bench over and smashed the head of Wan Chuanjia, the son of the village party secretary, which prevented the marriage and caused trouble. His in-laws were anxious to apologize to the village party secretary, and her husband, brother-in-law and sister-in-law were also wronged and anxious. On the other hand, Zheng Xiaolong used a series of long shots to show the attitude of He Happiness as a new wife. She changed her clothes, tied up her long hair, skillfully picked vegetables, and packed things for cooking. When her husband questioned that she was still in the mood to eat, her attitude was also obvious: the sky fell and she had to eat, and then she went to seek justice after eating.

"Maybe the audience will be more worried about saying that female stars or famous actresses can’t get down and dress up ugly, but in reality, it can’t be glamorous. You work in the countryside and your daughter-in-law is running a family. You have to be energetic, right?" Zheng Xiaolong admired Zhao Liying’s energy. "If she didn’t understand it, she couldn’t shoot it. She didn’t rely on skill, but brought her true nature in, so you will feel particularly comfortable when she performs."

Since the launch of The Story of Xingfu, many viewers’ comments and barrage have been related to "grieve" and "bring your own antihypertensive drugs when watching the drama". The initial marriage-making incidents, land disputes and compensation for land expropriation, including the protagonist’s experience from the countryside to the city, are all full of realistic entanglements. The material construction of Wanjiazhuang Star Village is indeed rich enough, but the popularization of rule of law awareness and spiritual civilization construction seems to be uncivilized. The main line of the story is how to build the rule of law on the basis of material construction. Happiness is the main thread of this torrent, and her personal progress and growth is also a metaphor for the follow-up of rural spiritual civilization and the rule of law. The anger of netizens, to a certain extent, is also an affirmation that the content of the series is close to real life. Zheng Xiaolong also recognized this point. "We must conform to this creative attitude of realism. Now telling rural stories is to conform to the changes and cognition in the countryside and have a life atmosphere."

At the end of the story, He Xingfu promoted the construction of ecological civilization in Wanjiazhuang, developed environmental protection tourism industry, controlled sewage treatment, broke the original clan pattern, popularized the concept of legal system, and became a new generation of rural revitalization leaders. Behind the destruction of this stagnant pool is not only Zheng Xiaolong’s thinking about the current rural spiritual civilization and legal system construction, but also his inherent sense of responsibility as a literary and art worker. "Creating this thing makes me feel that I can say something and express something that I think is meaningful." He wants to tell the story of a rural woman’s growth, and reflect the fate and struggle of thousands of ordinary people in Qian Qian. This concern and gaze on the little people has always been a humanistic feeling of Zheng Xiaolong’s social responsibility.

02

"Feminine consciousness" not only represents women.

The Story of Xingfu has been at the forefront from the beginning to the end, and the whole network urged him to get a happy divorce and start a career. In addition to the characters and plots in the play, there is also director Zheng Xiaolong who was brought to the hot search by real-time comments.

In fact, it’s not long since he was widely discussed by netizens and audiences last time-during the period when the epidemic was banned at the beginning of the year, Empresses in the Palace became a drama and background sound for many people. Since its launch 11 years ago, the ideological trend has changed, the concept has been updated, and the audience has iterated. However, the popularity and discussion of this drama have lasted for a long time. Under the "study" of the younger generation of netizens, an independent "Zhen Xue" has even been derived, which is specially used to analyze characters, plots and subtle scenes, including the production of expression packs and network hotspots.

However, in the eyes of Zheng Xiaolong, who is nearly 70 years old, these new things and fragmented interception analysis are all "distant" and he doesn’t understand them. In the 22nd year of the new century, he still maintains his own work rhythm and relatively "old-school" habits. Only when talking about creation will the chatterbox open, "What are the 100 questions? I can’t even answer it. TV plays and movies are montage art, and they are flowing pictures, not watched frame by frame. When I shoot, I will not think that this drama will have such a big impact in reality. "

From Empresses in the Palace’s "Red Sorghum" and "legend of miyue" to The Story of Xingfu, several representative works of Zheng Xiaolong are all based on the clue of women’s growth and awakening, and are completed by the whole construction of the characters, so as to criticize and convey his inner thoughts and voices. However, the growth of women, or the awakening of gender-limited consciousness, is not that he deliberately caters to the creative standards of the market. Instead of telling the story with a specific group, he chose a reference sample to tell the story of everyone in the society, age and living environment where the sample is located. "Emotion and reason are common, and I mainly tell the story of’ people’."

Empresses in the Palace stills

For example, Empresses in the Palace criticized the feudal and backward marriage system. Zheng Xiaolong said, "I discussed this matter repeatedly before filming, and I told the media that it was critical. But after it was broadcast, many people said that it was a matter of the workplace. I was so dizzy. I never thought that the workplace would be like this." He recalled that mentality more than ten years ago. "At that time, for a long time, it seemed that everyone thought the harem was beautiful and luxurious. Many girls wanted to cross into the harem and run to be concubines for the emperor." "The emperor is a big stallion, marriage in this case, how can you have a single-minded emotion? Impossible. "

The realistic theme does not mean that you must shoot modern dramas, which is also Zheng Xiaolong’s consistent thinking. "You can also shoot historical stories with a realistic attitude. The theme and your attitude are two different things." What Empresses in the Palace conveyed was his criticism of the feudal and backward marriage system, while legend of miyue is another kind of realism-historical materialism, which contains the awakening of women, the germination of the consciousness of family and country and the concept of equality. "Miyue is a concubine of Chu. She gradually developed a sense of home and country around the king of Qin, and she also had a critical awareness of the hierarchical bloodline theory and hereditary system, so she would take risks and return to Qin to pacify civil strife and lay the foundation for Qin Shihuang to unify China. Including the Qin Dynasty’s award for military merits, rather than hereditary, these are also the seeds of equality. "

"legend of miyue" stills

He doesn’t think it is necessary to convey specific ideas through specific themes, and there is no need to limit the gender or identity background of the protagonist. "In fact, people who engage in literary and artistic creation do image, and there is a saying that image is greater than thinking." Zheng Xiaolong is a person who came from the initial period of China TV series, and his attitude is still simple and plain. "After you have done your image well, many people will give it something to think about. For example, when Cao Xueqin wrote A Dream of Red Mansions, he didn’t think so much, he just truly reflected the society. Later, Comrade Mao Zedong said that A Dream of Red Mansions was a mirror of feudal society, and it became a mirror of feudal society, which was the understanding given by later generations. A lot of thinking things don’t mean that we have thought it through in the early stage of creation. We just do a good job in the image. As for the interpretation, how big the subsequent impact is, this is not something that can be thought of at the beginning. "

After being created, the female images in Zheng Xiaolong’s works began to have a lot of interpretations, some of which were even quite different from his original creative ideas, which he had never expected in his creation. However, whatever Zhen Xuan, Mi Yue or happiness, behind their awakening of female consciousness and independent consciousness is actually the awakening of human nature-an awakening of equality, struggle and the rule of law. This has nothing to do with gender, but belongs to everyone’s right consciousness. There’s a line in The Story of Xingfu, which Zheng Xiaolong especially picked out and spoke it again. "Distinguish right from wrong through law, clarify truth through law, and popularize social fairness and justice through law. I think it is very important, because we want to build a society ruled by law. This is also what I want to convey through this drama. "

As for the arguments, contradictions and conflicts intercepted by the fragments, and the remarks urging a happy divorce, they all belong to the endowed "thinking", which is the part that literary and artistic creators can’t control after the completion of their works. Zheng Xiaolong tried to digest the gap between himself and the young audience. "I think literary works still need a little nutrition, and there must be emotional things in them. If the general direction is right, you can."

The significance of realism

After decades of film and television drama, Zheng Xiaolong, which has become a benchmark in the industry, has maintained a stable output, but it is not a "high yield". For the production and polishing of the script, including the preparation before starting, he has to spend a lot of thought and effort to dig the details. Even at this age, the vitality of creation and strong desire for expression are still shining on him.

The Story of Xingfu finalized Zhao Liying, and it also experienced some twists and turns in the middle. Because the actor was pregnant and the script was revised, it was almost more than a year before and after. "After the script was revised, the actor also gave birth to the child and sat down for a month. This is settled."

In the era of fast food, Zheng Xiaolong’s process of polishing the script and preparing the details can be said to be very "burning money". "I have to collect ideas and make field trips. I am particularly concerned about this matter and go to see Anhui local Huizhou architecture. For example, when drilling a well, I have to ask if there was such a photo at that time. The arrangement of the wedding venue for the couple, were they like this at that time? Is the construction of rural houses like this? Moreover, I have to ask the original owner (many details), because a lot of the photos we took are real scenes, and the interior is also real scenes. I am afraid that the art will be wrong. "

At the beginning, in the interview during the broadcast of Golden Wedding, Zheng Xiaolong also mentioned the "obsession" of scene restoration. After the script was polished, it was the preparation of the group, from a food stamp to a bus, which was arranged exactly according to the set points of that era. "Realism" is the key point he has always stressed. Only when the literary image reaches a certain level can the audience’s thinking be attached. "As long as you make a good image, it will have an impact on reality. As long as you make it true and reasonable, it will have an impact on reality."

Stills of "Golden Wedding"

"Influence on reality" is the sense of social responsibility that Zheng Xiaolong’s generation of literary and art workers insisted on. When a work is filmed, it is not just for fun, but for the audience to laugh. It has to be meaningful and effective in reality. As for how long and how wide this role can be played, it is uncontrollable, but at the very least, it must have a little effect.

Even now, there are some records of old reports in the evaluation of Zheng Xiaolong by Zhihu and other platforms: "The broadcast of" Desire "triggered an unprecedented upsurge of national audiences, and actors such as Li Xuejian, Zhang Kaili and Huang Meiying also became popular throughout the country. At that time, in order to watch "Desire", people with TV sets were crowded into the station almost every day. Even the Ministry of Public Security said that thieves did not come out to commit crimes because they were waiting to watch "Desire". "

Zheng Xiaolong couldn’t help laughing when he mentioned these sensational influences. This is the pride of literary and art workers and the great affirmation of a director who has devoted his life to it.

Speaking of Empresses in the Palace’s overseas export and cultural communication, Zheng Xiaolong once again emphasized the importance of realism. "Truthfulness, telling a good story about China’s history, telling a good story about China now and telling a good story about the daily life of China people, I think this is all possible. In particular, telling the story of the daily life of ordinary people must be authentic and have universal typical significance. "

Of course, we also asked Zheng Xiaolong what he thought of the current shoddy and suspended film and television dramas. He replied very quickly, "I don’t watch it. I don’t think it looks good. I don’t watch it. I can’t watch it, and I’m not affected."

This national director, who is nearly 70 years old, just wants to tell his own story-a story about every specific "person".

Central Meteorological Observatory: From September 26 to 28, the super typhoon "Olu" will seriously affect the South China Sea and the coastal areas of South China.

  According to the website of the Central Meteorological Observatory on September 25th, Typhoon Olu, the 16th this year, was formed in the east of the Philippines on the afternoon of September 23rd, and rapidly strengthened from a strong tropical storm to a super typhoon from the evening of the 24th to the night. At 17: 00 on the 25th, its center (super typhoon level) was located on the northwest Pacific Ocean about 135km north-east of Manila, Philippines, and the maximum wind force near the center was 16 (55m/s).

  It is estimated that Olu will move to the north-north direction at a speed of about 25 kilometers per hour. It will land on the eastern coast of Luzon Island in the Philippines this evening (48-55 meters/second, with a magnitude of 15-16, strong typhoon or super typhoon), and it will pass through Luzon Island at night, with a weakened intensity. It will enter the central and eastern South China Sea from the morning of 26th, then move to the west, and gradually approach the eastern coast of Vietnam. The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a typhoon blue warning on the morning of September 25th.

  Gale forecast: Affected by cold air and Olu, there will be 6-8 gale in the western coast of Taiwan Province Island, Fujian coast, Guangdong coast, Hainan island coast, Taiwan Province Strait, bashi channel, most of the South China Sea, Beibu Gulf, Qiongzhou Strait and Sansha Islands from the night of 25th to 14: 00 on 28th, with gusts of 9-10, among which the winds in the central South China Sea, Xisha Islands and the waters near zhongsha islands.

  Rainfall forecast: From 26th to 28th, there will be heavy rain in Hainan Island and Sansha Islands, and local heavy rain; The accumulated precipitation in the above areas can reach 80 ~ 120 mm, and the local area is more than 200 mm; The maximum hourly rainfall is 30 ~ 50 mm.

6 dead and 30 wounded! The worst conflict in Lebanon in 13 years was related to the big bang.

  BEIJING, Oct. 15 (Xinhua)-The worst armed conflict in 13 years broke out in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, on the 14th. Demonstrators demanding the dismissal of the judge of the port bombing were shot, which led to fierce clashes, killing 6 people and injuring 30 others. Lebanese Prime Minister Mikati called on everyone to remain calm, and UN Secretary-General Guterres called for an immediate end to the violence and continued investigation into the devastating explosion in August 2020.

  6 dead and 30 injured

  The worst conflict in 13 years!

  On the 14th, a demonstration in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, turned into a serious conflict, causing dozens of deaths and injuries.

  According to media reports, under the organization of the radical organization Hezbollah and its allies, thousands of people demonstrated and protested, demanding the dismissal of the chief judge in charge of investigating the Beirut port explosion. But after the gunmen opened fire on the protesters, a fierce armed conflict broke out.

  The Lebanese Interior Minister said that six people were killed and 30 injured in the conflict. The Lebanese army says it has detained nine suspects who opened fire on protesters during the Beirut demonstration and is investigating.

  Hezbollah and its allies said in a statement on the 14th that their protesters were shot by snipers deployed on the roof. In the following hours, gunshots were heard on the streets of Beirut, and ambulances honked their horns to rescue the wounded. A security official said that four shells landed near a private school, causing panic.

  The weapons used in the exchange of fire include pistols, Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenades, which seriously escalated the tension. This is the most serious armed conflict in Lebanon since 2008.

  Related to the big bang in the harbor.

  Multi-party urged to remain calm.

  The core of this conflict is the explosion of Beirut port on August 4, 2020, which killed at least 215 people, injured thousands and partially destroyed nearby communities. The explosion was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, which further plunged Lebanon, which had been hit by political differences and unprecedented economic and financial collapse, into trouble.

  So far, no one has been held accountable for this extraordinarily serious chemical explosion. Bertard, the judge in charge of investigating the port bombing, was strongly opposed by Hezbollah and its allies, who accused him of political bias.

  In a statement, Mikati, the newly appointed Lebanese Prime Minister, called for calm and urged people "not to be involved in civil strife".

  The State Council spokesman Price told reporters: "We join the Lebanese authorities in calling on everyone to calm down and let tensions cool down."

  In response to the violence in Lebanon, UN Secretary-General Guterres called for an immediate end to the violence and continued investigations into the devastating explosion in August 2020.

  Joanna Voronyi, the United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, also issued a statement condemning the violence on 14th. She stressed the need for restraint, maintaining calm and stability, and ensuring the protection of civilians.

The whole county roof distributed photovoltaic project in Guiping realizes full capacity grid-connected power generation.

  On December 30, 2023, the distributed photovoltaic (Phase I) power generation project in Guiping County, Guangxi Province, which was built by Nanning Branch of the First National Security Bureau, realized full-capacity grid-connected power generation. The completion of this important node lays a good foundation for the next step of power generation, and is of great significance to promoting the development of green energy, improving ecology and promoting rural revitalization in Guigang City.

After The Eight Hundred’s exposure, it is predicted that 200 mu of real scene will reappear the Suzhou River in 1937.

Director Guan Hu directed the scene.

1905 movie network news Director Guan Hu’s latest film released a preview of "Big Production" today, revealing how this huge war system that took several years was tempered. It took 18 months to design and build a 200-acre real scene to reproduce the original appearance of Suzhou Creek in 1937, to restore the real hot battlefield with 300 flares and 50,000 explosion points over the sum of ten war dramas, and then to use IMAX cameras to create an unprecedented sense of reality … … A series of staggering figures in the preview all prove that the film has comprehensively improved the standard of China war genre films in terms of production scale and industrial level. For the creative team, such intensive efforts to restore the real battlefield are not only out of the guarantee of film quality, but also out of the sense of mission to truly restore history and reproduce national heroic feats.

 

It took a year and a half to build 68 buildings on 200 acres of land. Guan Hu is not only a director but also a "project supervisor"


2400 table lamps, 50 kilometers of wires, real-life restoration

The prototype of the film The Eight Hundred story is the four-line warehouse defense battle that took place in Shanghai in 1937, which was the last battle of the Battle of Songhu. At that time, China and Japan fought fiercely for nearly three months, and Shanghai was about to fall. Xie Jinyuan was ordered to lead more than 420 soldiers of the 524th Regiment of the 88th Division stationed in the four-row warehouse on the north bank of Suzhou Creek. The south bank of Suzhou River is the public relations concession. For the people at home and abroad, this four-day and four-night battle is tantamount to a "live broadcast".

The public concession across the bank is singing and dancing.

In order to truly restore this period of history, the crew spent a year and a half designing and building a real scene with 68 buildings covering an area of 200 mu in the shooting base of Brothers Film World (Suzhou), digging deep into the 200-meter-long Suzhou River, and restoring a "hell" and a "paradise" with colorful sounds on both sides of the river. Behind a string of numbers is the sense of reality that the creators are trying to create. Guan Hu once said, "If you want the audience to believe in this environment, you must first believe it yourself." Everything they do is to make the actors who are in it believe in the world in front of them and the stories that are happening, and infect the audience with true feelings. In their view, this film needs this kind of "simplicity". Guan Hu, a self-proclaimed "project supervisor", summed up the filming process, saying, "It’s not like filming, but maybe this is the real filming". It is particularly worth mentioning that, as one of the shooting locations of the film The Eight Hundred, these restored historical scenes will also be preserved as scenic spots, which are expected to be open to fans and tourists in the future.

 

50,000 bullets on the ground exceed the sum of 10 war dramas, and the whole film IMAX shooting reproduces the bloodiness of Chinese children.


The Japanese invaders raided the warehouse at night.

As a war giant, The Eight Hundred not only restored the real battlefield, but also did not relax the details of the battle. In order to be closer to the soldiers in 1937 in form, more than 400 actors in the group conducted military training for seven months before shooting, and everyone completed the transformation from "actor" to "soldier". The whole movie used 300 flares to reproduce the lighting effect of the battlefield in that year. More than 300 kilograms of cigarette oil and nearly 5 tons of old newspapers were burned, and 50,000 bullet points on the ground equivalent to the sum of ten major war dramas were set up, creating a real battlefield filled with smoke and gunfire.


In order to present the best visual effect, ensure the realism of the picture and highlight the aesthetic value, photography director Cao Yu set up more than 2,000 desk lamps on the set to match different shots. The particularity of this battle also determines that the lens often needs to look from one shore to the other 100 meters away. The extremely wide dynamic range of ALEXA IMAX 65mm camera and the imaging effect close to the human eye perfectly adapt to this point. The Eight Hundred has also become the third commercial film in the world and the first commercial film in Asia shot with IMAX camera after "Reunion 3" and "Reunion 4".

Brave men lined up for the war

The Eight Hundred is not only a feat of China filmmakers, but also a retrospective of history and a tribute to the heroic spirit. Therefore, the project was restarted for three times, spanning more than five years, but the founders never gave up, because they believed that eight hundred heroes’s blood and Chinese’s unyielding national integrity should be remembered by modern people. Recently, the spirit and courage of the brave men have also attracted international attention. The Eight Hundred has not only become one of the hot films in the media of Cannes Film Festival, but also appeared on the cover of a magazine, and its overseas pre-sale is also very popular. At present, it has signed contracts with nearly 20 countries and regions such as the United States, Canada and Australia, and most countries will release it simultaneously with China.

 

The film The Eight Hundred will be shown nationwide on July 5th.


The Ministry of Education responds to the "General-Vocational Diversion" in the senior high school entrance examination | Secondary vocational education will adjust its orientation and increase the op

       CCTV News:Recently, a representative member of the local two sessions suggested that "the diversion of general posts after the senior high school entrance examination should be cancelled", which aroused concern. At the press conference held by the Ministry of Education today (February 23), the relevant person in charge responded that "the separation of general education and vocational education" is necessary, and the diversified development of high school education is the development goal of high school education in China during the 14 th Five-Year Plan period. Secondary vocational education is an important part of high school education and shoulders the heavy responsibility of promoting the diversified development of high school education.

       Chen Ziji, Director of Vocational Education and Adult Education Department of Ministry of Education:The coordinated development of secondary vocational education and ordinary high school education can not only meet the learning needs of students with different endowments, but also provide a space and channel for diversified growth. At the same time, the development of secondary vocational education has made positive contributions to promoting employment expansion, promoting regional economic development and improving people’s livelihood. However, with the economic and social development and the improvement of people’s living standards, people’s demand for high-quality, universal high school education is constantly increasing. The Ministry of Education will actively promote all localities to rationally plan the enrollment scale of secondary vocational schools and ordinary high schools according to the degree of regional economic and social development and the needs of local industrial development. On the other hand, the most fundamental thing is to run secondary vocational education well, improve its own quality, and work hard on on-the-job general education.

       In fact, the social concern about the "separation of general education and vocational education" is mainly that students have no future once they enter vocational schools, and the society has always labeled vocational education as "inferior education" and "eliminated education". At today’s press conference of the Ministry of Education, Chen Ziji, director of the Department of Vocational Education and Adult Education, said that the two major tasks this year will focus on "improving quality" and "enhancing image".

       Chen Ziji, Director of Vocational Education and Adult Education Department of Ministry of Education:In the next step, we will take concrete measures to improve the quality of modern vocational education from the aspects of type characteristics, integration of production and education, school-enterprise cooperation, teaching reform and brand building, so as to effectively improve the quality of vocational education. On the basis of improving quality, we should change the stereotype of vocational education in society, enhance its attractiveness, let parents choose vocational education, let employers rely on vocational education, and gradually form a social atmosphere of "choosing vocational education when going to school, upgrading skills and looking for vocational education", establish a good reputation of vocational education, and make vocational education have a head start, hope and expectation.

Chen Ziji, director of the Department of Vocational Education and Adult Education of the Ministry of Education, also said that this year, the conditions for running secondary vocational education will be improved and the channels for further studies will be unblocked. At the same time, the orientation of secondary vocational education will be adjusted from "employment-oriented" to "paying equal attention to employment and further studies".

Chen Ziji, Director of Vocational Education and Adult Education Department of Ministry of Education:Secondary vocational education is the starting point, not the end point, of vocational education, which promotes the diversified development of secondary vocational schools, changes from "employment-oriented" to "paying equal attention to employment and further education", pays special attention to further education in line with the characteristics of vocational education, strengthens cultural basic education on the basis of ensuring the quality of students’ technical skills training, expands the scale of through training, opens up the growth space of secondary vocational students, and enables secondary vocational students to have the ability to find jobs, have advantages in further education and have channels for development.

In addition, the layout will be optimized, and the "empty, small, scattered and weak" schools will be integrated through measures such as cancellation, merger, transformation, trusteeship, land replacement and group running, and the layout structure of secondary vocational education will be optimized. We will also work with relevant departments to implement the "Project to Meet the Standards for Running Secondary Vocational Schools", comprehensively check the basic conditions for running secondary vocational schools, and achieve the basic standards for school teaching conditions in 2023.

At the same time, the implementation of the "quality secondary vocational schools and professional construction plan", focus on building a number of high-quality secondary vocational schools and brand majors with demonstration and leading role, with 3-mdash; In five years, about 1,000 state-level high-quality secondary vocational schools will be built, which will lead the overall management of secondary vocational education to be standardized and qualified, and guide parents to make rational choices.

The Legend of Shaolin Temple exposes new posters, Wang Baoqiang takes Haoran Liu again.


1905 movie network news On February 2 nd, the film directed and starring released posters of characters, and powerful actors such as,, and joined in surprise, showing their true colors. Wang Baoqiang led the joint formation of the "Shaolin Immortal Team" to "martial arts" together to celebrate the Spring Festival.

In this group of posters, each character stands on the top of the mountain and between the clouds, showing a strong retro texture, highlighting the artistic conception of martial arts in kung fu films. Haoran Liu lit the Spring Festival stalls with Wang Baoqiang and Dahong Ni presented the first show of Kung Fu film, which made the film highly anticipated. The film will land on the video platform on the first day of February 12.


Shaolin lineup reveals the plot suspense and leads to speculation.


The nine posters released this time, the main characters of the film appeared one by one, and the Shaolin lineup made its debut for the first time. The rough texture of the poster has a strong sense of retro nostalgia. Between the vague clouds and fog, the distant mountains are stacked and the deep forests are scattered, like a freehand painting of China landscape. Nearby, the figure stands on the top of the mountain, which means "the peak of Shaolin" and has a martial artistic conception.


And each character corresponds to a different tone, thus forming a set of various "Shaolin figure maps". Depao, the protagonist played by Wang Baoqiang, dressed in a Shaolin monk’s robe, made his kungfu initial moves with steady steps and concentration. The color behind it is like a glow of sunlight and a Buddha’s light, so Debao painstakingly participates in meditation and practices hard day and night, showing the spirit of Shaolin martial arts. Dahong Ni plays an unknown monk, with a cool tone behind him, which gives people a sense of abstinence.


Debao and the monk show completely different monk temperament, which makes people wonder how they are related to Shaolin. Ng Man Tat, the actor most familiar to the audience, especially plays the merchant elder, and a penny-pinching businessman style represents the worldly side. Haoran Liu’s prince, who plays in this friendship, is gorgeous and luxurious. What impact will such a powerful figure have on Shaolin Temple? The most mysterious of all is Tu Hao, played by Du Guiyu, who shows people sideways under his black robe or will become a dangerous person.


In addition, Tie Daxue, as the only female figure, gives the film a bright female background; The meat played by Bai Zeze also adds a touch of innocence and childishness to the film. Simon Zi and Yuan Song, one like a general and the other like a warlock, also bring more possibilities and imagination to the plot. When Buddhism, the royal family and the secular world meet together, what kind of new legend of Shaolin Kung Fu will be staged by these distinctive figures?


Stars gather to celebrate the New Year. Watch it and look forward to it.


The release of the poster and the comprehensive announcement of the "Shaolin Immortal Lineup" also set off many heavy points of the film for the audience. Among them, Dahong Ni’s appearance in such a pure kung fu film is undoubtedly the most contrasting point. Although he has created a variety of characters in a series of high-quality works, changing into a monk costume makes people wonder whether he will also have martial arts scenes in the film.


The most surprising thing to watch is Haoran Liu’s surprise joining, and his cooperation with Wang Baoqiang has made them the favorite gold partner of the audience on the screen. In the Spring Festival of 2021, the two men continued their mental adventure in Lieutenant General, and at the same time appeared in The Legend of Shaolin Temple to embark on the journey of force, which can be called "exploring the Tang Dynasty" and "gaining treasure" in literature and martial arts, which is a double celebration of the New Year.


In addition, the core point of view is that Wang Baoqiang plays a Shaolin disciple, and will show the most powerful Shaolin martial arts in the film. Once the preview of the previous film was released, it attracted the attention of many netizens, who lamented Wang Baoqiang’s "impressive physical fitness", "vigorous and powerful in one stroke and one style, showing excellent martial arts skills" and "worthy of being a lay disciple who really practiced Shaolin Kung Fu".
