1905 movie network exclusive feature　5.49 billion! This is the monthly box office of China film market in July. How awesome is this number? Converted into US$ 884 million, the domestic market in the United States grossed US$ 1.09 billion in July, which means that China’s box office in July was equivalent to 81% of that in the United States. In vertical comparison, the box office in the same period last year was 3.693 billion yuan, an increase of 1.8 billion yuan, with an increase rate as high as 48%. Based on this growth rate, next year’s summer box office is expected to reach 8 billion yuan, surpassing the United States just around the corner.

　

　 　 The United States has the largest movie market in the world, but the total box office tends to be stable, and summer vacation is the most profitable period in a year. The last monthly record of China market was 4.134 billion yuan in February 2015, equivalent to 556 million US dollars, surpassing the box office in the United States for the first time. But at that time, China was a strong file because of the Spring Festival file; The same period in the United States is a low season. If we can surpass the United States in the summer file, it is estimated that China can really replace the United States as the world’s largest film market.

　

　 　 In the same period last year, Transformers 4: Extinction and Rebirth and breakup guru — — One big and one small, one outside and one middle dual-core drive are different. July this year is the July of domestic films, and the market share of domestic films accounts for 95.6%. What’s the secret behind this dazzling number and this blowout? Why did the market and audience suddenly get out of control? What is the doorway behind this seemingly lively movie midsummer carnival?

Watching blockbusters is fun: comedy is in power

　 　 There were three phenomenal films in July, namely monster hunt, Pancake Man and The Return of the Great Sage on the Journey to the West. The box office of "monster hunt" exceeded 2 billion, which not only secured the box office champion of Chinese movies in the Mainland, but also launched an impact on the box office champion "Speed and furious 7" (2.424 billion). Pancake Man also broke through 1.1 billion at the box office, successfully entering the top 10 of the mainland box office charts, while The Return of the Great Sage successfully surpassed Kung Fu Panda 2 to become the box office champion of the mainland animation. It is worth mentioning that all three films have got the extension key and are on the way to set a new record.

　

　 　 Looking through the box office rankings of Chinese movies, you will find an interesting phenomenon: six domestic films with box office exceeding 1 billion ("monster hunt" is 2.138 billion.<上映中>1.267 billion, 1.246 billion, 1.127 billion, 1.127 billion.<上映中>(1.169 billion) and "Journey to the West" 1.046 billion are comedies, and two are related to Journey to the West. If the standard is enlarged to 500 million box office Chinese films, the proportion of comedy films and films with strong comedy elements can still account for 50%.

　

　 　 From the data, it is not difficult to see the mainland audience’s love for comedies. Compared with foreign films, all of them have achieved a bumper box office in China, but they are not comedies. The advantage of domestic comedies lies in their grounding. There is only the question of whether the laughter is cold or not, and there is no situation where you can’t get it, and you don’t have to think twice about details such as culture and translation. Both comedies and special effects blockbusters are based on their powerful entertainment functions, which is also the purpose of the vast majority of viewers entering the cinema. In the blockbuster era when entertainment is king, there is nothing wrong with watching movies happily, and no one has the right to blame. However, at present, the mode of domestic commercial films is still in its infancy, which is simple and rude, and the types are still relatively single. The audience stratification is not clear, and small and medium-sized productions and art films cannot find their own audience, which will restrict the comprehensive development of domestic films.

　

　 　 Today, the polarization between comedy films and special effects films is gradually taking shape, and youth films are a spent force. Movies that focus on the youth market, such as Everything is Growing, Why Shengxiao Mo, Tiny Times 4: The End of the Soul, and Gardenia Blossoms, have achieved good box office results in the first week of release, but fans’ impulsive consumption and low reputation are difficult to provide energy for the follow-up income of the films. If the quality of youth films is not improved, they may become sub-box office films in the future market.

Cost-effective calculation: How many billions can a movie like monster hunt make money?

　 　 The most successful movie this summer is monster hunt, but monster hunt is not the movie with the highest return on investment, or even the most profitable movie. The domestic box office revenue is divided by the producer, the cinema and the issuer according to the proportion, and the producer gets 43% of the final box office (the proportion will be slightly adjusted for a single film). According to producer Jiang Zhiqiang, monster hunt invested 350 million yuan. If it includes publicity expenses, the box office must reach the profit and loss line of 810 million, and the producers can barely recover the cost. If it does not, the profit and loss line may be above 900 million. In the latter case, even if the total box office of "monster hunt" reaches 2 billion, the producer’s profit is only about 460 million, and the return on investment is about 110%, which is actually not high.

　

　 　 On the other hand, Pancake Man, which was released at the same time as monster hunt, had a total production and publicity cost of about 50 million, a break-even line of 116 million and a box office of 1 billion, which brought 380 million profits to the producers and a return on investment of 760%. Although monster hunt is slightly better than Pancake Man in terms of the amount of profit, the risks brought by high investment and other uncontrollable factors will multiply, and it is not uncommon for a blockbuster to ruin a production company. For example, the fiasco of Whisperwind sent MGM, which had been in a bleak business for many years, to the auction house, and Final Fantasy: Deep in the Soul also drove Sakaguchi Hironobu and SQUARE off the altar.

　

　 　 "monster hunt" is a gamble, making a Chinese special effects blockbuster is a gamble, and spending 70 million yuan to remake it is a gamble, but its victory is the victory of producer Jiang Zhiqiang. Before the release, the debate was whether the film could recover its cost through box office revenue, and no one dared to say that its box office would fall above 2 billion yuan. Regardless of the cost of investment, even to the point of risking one’s life, while admiring Jiang Zhiqiang’s courage, I have to stop and think: What if monster hunt fails? How many Jiang Zhiqiang can win the bet? Maybe the future market will give the answer.

　Editor’s note:On September 16th, American playwright edward ablee died at his home in Montauk, New York, at the age of 88. Albee won the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama for three times and the Tony Prize for Best Drama for two times. He is the greatest playwright in the United States after Eugene O ‘Neill, tennessee williams and arthur miller.

Many of Albee’s plays have been translated and introduced into China. In 2013, Sanhui Books and Xinxing Publishing House published The Goat: Albue’s Plays, which included three representative plays.

Edward ablee Oriental IC data

Edward Albee is the greatest playwright in the United States after Eugene O ‘Neill, tennessee williams and arthur miller, and is the flag of serious drama in contemporary America and even the world. Since The Zoo Story was first staged in the late 1950s, Albee’s plays have continuously shocked the American theater. Up to now, Albee has created more than 30 plays, and won three Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama, two Tony Prize for Best Drama, three Best Drama Literature Awards and four Lifetime Achievement Awards. His masterpieces include The Zoo Story, The American Dream and Who’s Afraid of Adeline Virginia Woolf? "delicate balance", "seascape", "three tall women", "goat or who is Sylvia? ","at home in the zoo "and so on.

As a representative of American serious drama, Albee always pays sharp and sober attention to the times and society, and reflects and criticizes the social reality and human existence fearlessly and mercilessly. He once said, "What people see on Broadway is not drama at all, but some mass-produced products, which will only make people intoxicated or sleepy, but not wake up and wake up." His plays are often performed in off broadway and even abroad, and finally returned to Broadway.

Albee’s works are deeply influenced by naturalism, surrealism, symbolism, absurd drama and other schools, but his exploration and modernity are mainly reflected in the connotation and thought of his works. As he said: "… the writer’s responsibility is to be an extraordinary social critic-to show people the true nature of the world and human beings he has seen, and to warn:’ Do you like it? If you don’t like it, change it.’ "

Albee embodies his unique style in the prompts of characters’ dialogues in his plays. For example, in The Goat or Who’s Sylvia? Stevie (honestly) If you are seeing that woman, I think we need to talk. Martin (stop, silent for a long time; Honestly) If I am like that … We will talk. " And "Ross (wow! ) You are in love! " Such hints also appear from time to time in At Home in the Zoo and The Garden of Desire. I kept this kind of Albee-style personalized prompt by literal translation.

Goat: Albee’s Plays

The goat or who is Sylvia in this book? "At Home in the Zoo" and "At Home in the Zoo" were published in Drama Art, and "The Garden of Desire" has been put on the stage of China by China National Theatre, while "Goat or Who is Sylvia? It also premiered in Beijing in 2012.

In 1967, after winning the Pulitzer Prize, edward ablee was interviewed in the theater. Oriental IC data

At Home in the Zoo: Human Isolation and Alienation

In 1958, edward ablee became famous with his first one-act play The Zoo Story (1958), which shocked the western society. This drama, which profoundly shows the alienation, isolation and loneliness of human beings in modern commercial society, has become a world-recognized classic of drama literature in the following half century. This play, originally named Peter and Jerry, was written by Albee in one go within three weeks before his 30th birthday. The author originally cast it on Broadway in new york, but it was rejected by the producer. So The Zoo Story came to Europe, premiered at Berlin Art Festival in September 1959, and began its new york premiere at Provinse Town Theatre in January 1960.

In 2008, Albee surprisingly changed his one-act drama "The Zoo Story" 50 years ago into a two-act drama "At Home at the Zoo" (2009) and staged it in the second theater in off broadway, new york. Shakespeare in the past or neil simon today have rewritten some of their past masterpieces in the form of sequels or prequels, but it is rare to rewrite them in a big way on the stage. Moreover, in the past half century, The Zoo Story is one of the most famous and frequently performed American plays in the world.

This great play about the murder scene between a gentleman Peter and a poor man Jerry in new york Central Park has always been a classic textbook for drama students. Over the years, countless commentators have discussed and analyzed Albee’s profound exposure of human alienation in the mid-20th century. Although he also wrote Who’s Afraid of Adeline Virginia Woolf? Three Tall Women, Delicate Balance and Goat or Who’s Sylvia? "and other thirty plays, but the shock and passion of" Zoo Story "is unique.

In fact, Albee’s idea of rewriting The Zoo Story has a long history. This play, which has become a world classic, was once performed as a short play with Beckett’s The Last Tape of klapp and other short plays. Albee has always regretted this. In the late 1990s, 40 years after The Zoo Story appeared, Albee planned to add a scene for Peter. "There is some imbalance, and Jerry kept telling in the play that Peter had no time to talk. I hope to know Peter better. "

Albee doesn’t agree with playwrights to rewrite their previous plays drastically. He said, "It can’t be rewritten. Times have changed and people are not the same." So he didn’t make a big move on The Zoo Story, but just wrote At Home as the first act of the whole play. He even mentioned that when he conceived the Zoo Story in 1958, he visited Peter and Anna and their living room. "I just couldn’t write this scene at that time."

Albiyuan traced his initial creative impulse: "I know Anna so well because I know what Peter’s wife should look like." He felt that At Home seemed to flow from his heart, and he just showed the relationship between the couple naturally. As a solemn and humorous study of mediocre civilization, At Home shows the conversation between a loving couple in today’s society.

At the beginning of the first act of At Home in the Zoo, just after noon on Sunday, in a Danish modern living room in an apartment building in East Seventies Street, Manhattan, two or three avenues away from Central Park, a peaceful and elegant middle-aged gentleman husband Peter and his dignified and quiet wife Anna appeared. Two silent daughters are upstairs, and Peter is sitting and reviewing an extremely important and boring textbook that has never been published by their publishing company.

Anna walked out of the kitchen and casually declared, "We should talk." So they talked about family chores: fireplace, children, microwave oven, cats, parrots, and then talked about each other’s sleeping state and Anna’s habit of night outing before dawn. Anna told puzzled Peter that she wanted to have her breasts removed to prevent cancer. The two chatted with each other jokingly about death, love and people’s madness, and also associated with "thinking about thinking about something."

With Anna’s outspokenness, Peter said carefully that he thought his penis was "shrinking". Anna suppressed her smile to show sympathy. She knew that sex and sexual topics were not Peter’s strong points, and she called him a "gentleman". They talked about circumcision and clitoris … Then the conversation turned back to why Anna proposed to talk. During the conversation, they suddenly found that some terrible unspeakable thing threatened their quiet life; They found each other unable to pour out their deepest fears.

Peter recalled the details of violent sex with a girl when he was drunk in college. That crazy sex ended in blood dripping and pain and shame, so Peter was always careful in his subsequent sex for fear of hurting others. During the conversation, Anna slapped Peter in the face and immediately hugged him and kissed him passionately. She said that she just wanted to surprise him with suspense. In laughter, they hoped that a sudden tornado would completely destroy their safe and orderly family life. Then, the two said goodbye to "I love you". Anna went to the kitchen, and Peter went to Central Park with the boring textbook.

The second act of At Home in the Zoo is the original Zoo Story. Albee didn’t rewrite this scene, only made some abridgements, so the text is the same as his original 1999 version. At the beginning of the second act, Peter who came to Central Park was sitting on a bench reading. Then, a disheveled man in his thirties, Jerry, appeared. Depressed-looking Jerry insisted on talking to Peter. Jerry lives in a cubicle on the top floor of an old building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. He has no friends or relatives and is alone. He told about his homosexual experiences in adolescence and his life as a prostitute now. Peter was very embarrassed by his dark and filthy candor. In addition to satisfying the lust of the slutty and dirty landlady, Jerry has to deal with the landlady’s "black monster" dog that keeps chasing him. After repeatedly failing to please the evil dog, he poisoned it. The bad dog survived and ignored Jerry, so there was only indifference between man and dog. Jerry can’t communicate with dogs and people.

Because the first scene "At Home" shows the spiritual estrangement and emotional alienation between Peter and his wife, in the second scene, when Jerry frantically tells the loneliness and isolation of his existence in a monologue, Peter is more clearly aware of the distortion, fracture and isolation between himself and Anna. His deep anger, anxiety and despair contributed to the growing conflict between him and Jerry for the park bench, until he angrily held Jerry’s sharp blade to defend himself, until Jerry swooped on the sharp blade and committed suicide.

In the scene of In the Zoo, we have to face the isolation and alienation of people in modern society with fear. In the scene at home, we can only look directly at it painfully: even in a happy family and marriage, isolation and alienation are everywhere. From Peter and Anna’s emotional and spiritual indifference to Jerry’s isolated and absurd living condition, bloody suicide in the park seems to be the inevitable outcome. As you can imagine, when Peter fled the park and ran home like a wounded beast, when Anna tried to comfort him, Jerry’s suicide caused the peaceful world around them to collapse. The couple had hoped for waves and ripples in a peaceful life, but the revenge of bad luck came unexpectedly.

Stills of "At Home in the Zoo"

In the society of vicious expansion of modern industrial civilization, people are gradually losing their humanity and personality. When people are alienated by materials, interpersonal relationships are also alienated. In the noisy, complicated and almost crazy modern city, people are like a group of worker ants, crawling repeatedly every day. People think, people get tired, and people get lost. People pursue material things, but they are alienated by them after all. On the park bench in At Home in the Zoo, Peter sits at one end and Jerry sits at the other, separated by a barrier, just like Jerry mentioned the zoo-"all animals are separated". This sense of isolation is the living form of human beings in today’s society, and it is also one of the phenomena of material alienation. Crazy industrial civilization has not made human beings truly "civilized", on the contrary, it has made human beings move from civilization to barbarism, just like the two couples who bite each other in the novel "Slaughter the God" by the French playwright Jasmina Razer. The lonely individuals of Peter, Anna and Jerry are the portrayal of everyone in today’s society. The pain of each individual is also the pain of the whole mankind.

"At Home in the Zoo" makes the audience realize the threat hidden in the survival of every modern person. If "At Home" is a slap in people’s face and "At the Zoo" is a punch in people’s abdomen, you can imagine the horror and confusion of the theater fans gasping. For the two plays written 50 years apart, Albee insists that they are a whole. "This is a complete play. Peter’s experience in the first act contributed to the conflict between him and Jerry in the second act. The completeness and profundity of this two-act drama far exceeds the one-act Zoo Story. "

The Zoo Story has been staged many times in China, and it was also performed at Nanluoguxiang Drama Festival in May 2011. For the audience who are used to The Zoo Story, At Home in the Zoo is more like two independent dramas. It’s just as well. The emotional ice in the first act and the emotional fire in the second act do form a clear contrast between them. If at home is regarded as another play by Albee that pays attention to the emotion and ecology of middle-aged couples, it is different from his previous Marriage Drama (1987) and Goat or Who is Sylvia? Compared with the characters in "Peter and Anna", the scene of Peter and Anna can go deeper into the hearts of the audience.

It is worth mentioning that in November, 2011, another absurd family drama "Sex and the Garden" by Albee was also put on the stage in Beijing by China National Theatre.

At Home in the Zoo shows us the changes of Albee’s writing style in the past 50 years. Albee is 80 years old, but her creativity is still strong. "In the Zoo" 50 years ago was full of anger and youthful agitation; After 50 years, At Home is thoughtful and wise, with philosopher’s feelings. The former is angry, the latter is quiet. Whether it is pain or sorrow, whether it is sentimentality or cynicism, this talented playwright has always been deeply concerned about the ups and downs of human destiny and the decline of modern civilization.

Goat or Who is Sylvia? Notes on the definition of a tragedy

The absurd family tragedy of contemporary American society, Goat or Who is Sylvia? 》（The Goat or Who is Sylvia? , 2002) won several drama awards such as Tony’s best drama in 2002. Goat or Who is Sylvia? In March 2002, it premiered at the John Goolden Theatre on Broadway, with a total of 309 performances. In 2004, the London edition of Goat or Who is Sylvia? The British premiere began again. "Who’s Sylvia" in the title of this play is taken from the song "Who’s Sylvia?" by Proteus in Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona. 》。

Martin Gray, the hero of the play, is a typical decent, upright and brilliant architect in American society. He lives an ideal and happy life with his beloved wife and son. In his lucky week, he came to the door three times. In addition to his 50th birthday party, he also won the highest international architectural design award and a huge contract for landmark architectural design. However, when he revealed his unspeakable secrets to his friends in fear-when he had sex with a goat (Sylvia), everything around him-family, affection, life and career fell apart in an instant.

Goat or Who is Sylvia? The challenge to people’s morality lies in how to face the social forbidden zones such as extramarital sex, homosexuality, incest and animal rape in contemporary society, and at the same time, the goat or who is Sylvia? It also conveys the desire of modern people to return to nature. Martin is at the peak of his career and happy in his family life. However, it is conceivable that all kinds of reputation and crazy material civilization in modern society have alienated human beings and overwhelmed Martin. This is why he hates public masks and is obsessed with finding an idyllic land.

The beauty of the country made him linger and forget his worries. Now he fell in love with a goat and had sex with it. On the moral level, this extremely abnormal behavior is shameful, but in human nature, it may be a release under the long-term pressure of alienation. It is the pastoral scenery that returns to nature that awakens Martin’s instinct and primitive desire. Although his choice is shocking, he feels holy, happy and beyond all love …

As far as drama style is concerned, The Goat or Who is Sylvia? "Who’s Afraid of Adeline Virginia Woolf?" Albee won the Tony Award for Best Drama on Broadway 40 years ago. 》（Who is Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? 1962), there is a return to realism: clear plots, concrete scenes and stylized dialogues. As the mainstream writer of American serious drama, Albee’s avant-garde style is more manifested in events and themes than in the form of drama.

Goat or Who is Sylvia? The whole play is divided into three scenes without intermission. The core of the whole play is the fierce confrontation and debate between Martin and Stevie.

The Gothic atmosphere in Albee’s plays, or the surreal dream and its mysterious symbol and deliberate concealment all make critics and audiences feel that the goat in this play is just a symbol and a metaphor, and the bestiality in the play is just the playwright’s literary thinking and exploration of a social concept. But the goat or who is Sylvia? The language is so vivid and touching, and the scene is so realistic that the audience can’t avoid Albee’s deliberate warning: sometimes a goat is a goat.

At the end of the first scene, Martin revealed the secrets of his heart to Ross; When the second scene begins, Stevie has learned the truth from Ross’s letter. Martin’s son Billy immediately fell into confusion and anger; Stevie then fiercely attacked and blamed Martin and asked him to explain this unforgivable behavior. When Martin tried his best to communicate with her and pour out his troubles, Stevie kept interrupting him, making the audience in the theater laugh their heads off. When Martin painfully told her that he loved her as always, Stevie replied coldly, "But I am a human being, I only have two breasts, and I can only walk upright …"

In The Goat or Who Is Sylvia? In an interview before the premiere of new york, Albee said that he hoped to test the audience’s tolerance through this play. He said: "All civilizations have arbitrary norms on their tolerance. This play shows how a family is deeply shaken by an unimaginable event and how they solve this dilemma. I hope that people will give new thoughts on the reasonable direction of their own values. " Undoubtedly, this is also a test of human nature, an extremely complex and deep exploration: the nature of love, the mystery of sex, human empathy and so on.

Albee’s provocative idea is that love, no matter what form, is an undeniable objective existence, and even social norms, cultural customs and personal wishes can’t overwhelm it. Martin can’t defend his behavior, so he can only beg Stevie’s understanding and forgiveness, but he firmly believes that his love for Sylvia is sincere and deep, insisting that the encounter with her is an "epiphany" and "once it happens, there is no retreat". He claimed that his love for Sylvia was essentially the same as his love for Stevie, which was unacceptable and incomprehensible to Stevie.

If love is an abstraction that is not limited by inherent moral values, then human sexual behavior is distinct and concrete, and it inevitably bears moral responsibility. Therefore, in the current concept of human society, the love between Martin and goat is undoubtedly an inherent evil. He thought his love for the goat was "irrelevant to everything", but found that it was related to everything around him.

Goat or Who is Sylvia? The subtitle of the play is "Annotation on the Definition of a Tragedy". Albee pointed out that his allusions originated from the ancient Greek tragedy, and the word "tragedy" originated from the "song of the goat" in ancient Greek. In the first scene, when Ross asked about the strange and secret whistle, Martin coolly called it "the goddess of mercy".

Bentley, a dramatist, wrote in his book Benlly, The life of the Drama: "In tragedy, people are both angels and beasts, and they are fighting." This idea is in "goat or who is Sylvia?" It was echoed in ". Martin said it was the soul, and Stevie insisted on sexual desire. When Stevie pointed out that their dilemma was "You are a wild animal", Martin calmly replied, "I think I am … I think we are all wild animals." Martin admitted that he was "miserable" and "deeply divided", but Stevie couldn’t forgive him. The "goddess of mercy" didn’t appear, only a cavity of revenge anger. "You ruined me, well, God has eyes! I let you destroy it with me! " Goat or Who is Sylvia? The dilemma of human nature in this extreme state presented in "The Tragedy" profoundly completes the annotation of a tragic definition.

At the end of the play, Stevie dragged Sylvia’s body on the stage covered in blood. Love, sympathy and understanding disappeared, leaving only hatred, revenge and misunderstanding. Looking at the goat lying in a pool of blood, Martin looked up and wailed the heartbreaking fate of him and Sylvia. He could only cry, "Does no one understand this? Why can’t anyone understand … I’m lonely … so … lonely! " At this moment, Martin Gray is like the ghost of Oedipus-painfully blinding himself, leaving the warmth and sympathy of the world forever and disappearing into the wilderness.

Edward ablee’s The Garden of Desire

A Garden of Desire: The Collapse and Degeneration of a Flashy Society

Edward ablee’s "Garden of Desire" was originally named "Everything in the Garden" (1967), and its original author was the famous British playwright Giles Cooper. The play was first performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company in London in March 1962. In December 1966, 48-year-old Cooper died young. In order to commemorate him, the American version of "Garden of Desire" adapted by Albee was staged on Broadway in new york in 1967. Albee’s Garden of Desire satirizes and exposes the hypocritical and greedy American money society, which makes it the most important and controversial one in his adaptation, but it is also the most successful one: the popular comedy Garden of Desire and his best original drama Who is afraid of Adeline Virginia Woolf? "has been put on the screen.

In November, 2011, as the first part of the National Theatre’s "Famous Classics: Desire Trilogy", the Garden of Desire, directed by Han Jie, premiered at the newly-built National Theatre. This black comedy, which reveals the greed for money in contemporary human society, has been playing for a long time in the West, and it is also loved by China audiences in Beijing. In February, 2012, this drama began its second hot performance in national centre for the performing arts. More than ten years ago, the then China Youth Art Theatre moved this play. Nowadays, owning a garden villa has become a dream in people’s hearts, and "Desire Garden" undoubtedly has a profound warning meaning for the current extremely impetuous social mentality of worshipping money.

In Albee’s "Garden of Desire", Jenny and Richard, who live in the garden villa, are struggling to make ends meet, so they can only desperately maintain their dignity; Their good friend, Jack, a rich painter who inherited millions of inheritance, is carefree but lonely, so he always comes to Jenny for emotional comfort. Jack loves Jenny and Richard so much that he is determined to leave his ten million inheritance to the couple after his death. But half a year later, Jenny and Richard made a fortune. It turned out that Jenny was lured by Mrs. Tus and went to Mrs. Tus’s brothel in the city for prostitution without telling Richard. At the subsequent party, Jenny and Richard found that the housewives of their rich neighbors and friends were all "girls" of Mrs. Tus. Jack, who arrived late, recognized Mrs. Tuse at the party, and he was killed …

Compared with the rural story of London in Cooper’s original work, Albee’s Garden of Desire deepens and strengthens the revelation and torture of human nature and living conditions in modern society with a typical American middle-class life scene. For example, in Cooper’s original play, the couple didn’t see books and paintings in their indoor furnishings, while in Albee’s Broadway "Garden of Desire", not only a few oil paintings were hung indoors, but also books were filled on shelves covering a whole wall. This makes the audience have to face up to it: in a money world with moral collapse, intellectuals as social conscience are equally depraved and crazy. This is undoubtedly a mirror of the present China society.

This character, renamed Mrs Tus by Albee, was a Polish Jewish woman who survived the Nazi concentration camp in Cooper’s original play and made a living as a pimp for bored middle-class British housewives. Albee turned her into a headstrong and ruthless businesswoman who organized prostitution in new york, deliberately hiding her life story to highlight her evil symbol. In Cooper’s play, Jenny advertised for a job and attracted Mrs. Tus; In Albee’s play, Jenny’s neighbor girlfriend revealed Jenny’s financial difficulties to Mrs. Tus.

The biggest controversy in this play lies in the unpunished murder in the play. Some critics think that Albee should delete the murder plot in the adaptation, so as not to fall into the murder convention of the structural reasoning play and weaken its social critical significance. Time magazine thinks that murder is "too sensational, as if the corruption and collapse of moral values only mean death". Albee keeps the plot of murder, but unlike Cooper, he hopes that his Garden of Desire is more than just a social drama to explore the moral culture of the middle class in American society. Death in Cooper’s works is a one-dimensional realism, while death in Albee’s works is a symbol.

Albee’s Garden of Desire is no longer an isolated murder story, it reveals the moral and spiritual collapse and degeneration of a flashy society as a whole; It condemned the murder of humanity and humanity in this defeated society. Over the past 50 years, among more than 30 plays created by Albee, four have been adapted: The Garden of Desire, Malcolm, The Sad Cafe Song and Lolita in the 1980s. He once criticized the shoddy adaptation of many screenwriters on the American stage. "Most of these works adapted from European novels and scripts are clumsy, distorted and worthless, but people should not forget that many plays by playwrights Sophocles, Shakespeare, Racine, Giraudoux and Anouilh are their adaptations … Drama adaptation can be a respected profession and a very important artistic act."

Albee believes that successful screenwriters should not only retell and express the story of the original, but also use the original as a springboard to explain their unique views. Just like electra, Sophocles, euripides, Giraudoux and Hoffman Shtal have their own unique forms and contents. Playwrights have their own interpretations of the original, and the story of the original is only a catalyst for their artistic conception. Before Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear, The History of King Lear was staged in the Elizabethan era. In this early version, King Lear did not go crazy, but returned to the throne two or three years later and died peacefully. If Shakespeare was trapped in the story and thought of the original play, there would be no unparalleled Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear today.

　　International Online auto channel News: The 2021 Shanghai Auto Show officially kicked off on April 19th. With all the heavy new cars participating, the domestic auto market is more "noisy" than before. At this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, the new i5 also appeared in the Roewe booth of SAIC. The design theme of the new i5 is "trendy technology", and the "bucket arch" design in the ancient buildings of China is integrated into it.

　　In terms of appearance, the front face of the new i5 adopts a brand-new parameterized Ronglin grille, which is a brand-new style quoted after Roewe iMAX8 and other models. Ronglin grille does not pursue a large size like the old grille. While highlighting the details, the design sense becomes more refined. The bright black parametric texture is matched with the layered shape, and the overall visual effect is better, compounding the aesthetics of young people nowadays. The red and black logo in the middle of the grille has also been replaced with a more modern black, white and gray color scheme. Headlights are more long and narrow in shape, and LED light sources are used for far and near lights. If they are high-profile models, headlights are also equipped with adaptive far and near light switching function.

　　Compared with the old models, the side of the car body has little change. The design of double waistline and flowing lines add light and shadow effect to the side of the new i5 car body. The brand-new double five-spoke wheels also enhance the sense of movement. The original factory equipped the new i5 with silent tires, and the front and rear tires were 205/55 R16. Although the wheel hub size was only 16 inches, the length and wheelbase of the new i5 still followed the golden section, so the visual effect on the side of the car body was very harmonious.

　　The rear of the new i5 is also modified in details, adopting the popular split taillight design, and the middle is connected by a penetrating chrome strip, which echoes the front of the car. In order to better highlight the sporty feeling of the new i5, after two large-size scheduling are designed in the fog light area of the rear bumper, a diffuser structure is added at the lower edge of the rear bumper. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new i5 are 4607/1818/1489mm and the wheelbase is 2680mm.

　　BEIJING, Beijing, August 23 rd "Don’t rush to live too slowly, but really live too slowly." Recently, Rene Liu returned to Wuzhen again and talked about traveling. She said that a few days of local life is the best way to travel.

　　Rene Liu’s new film, as the spokesperson of Wuzhen, has also been released, which is the fourth collaboration between her and Wuzhen after the 2003 TV series "Time flies", the first endorsement in 2007 and the ten-year return in 2017.

　　Sixteen years ago, the TV series "Time flies" was broadcast, and Rene Liu became attached to Wuzhen. During this period, Rene Liu spoke for Wuzhen three times, from the "Miss Ying" in the play to the "Miss Ying" in Wuzhen. The classic slogan "I have been here and never left" has also become one of the comments of many people on Wuzhen for many years.

　　In the past 20 years, Rene Liu’s changes are obvious to all. She has gone from a little-known music assistant to a singer and actress, and then from the "most natural" status in the eyes of the world &mdash; &mdash; Wife and mother became film directors again.

　　And this once dilapidated town has gradually wiped away the dust of the past, turned into a tourist destination integrating sightseeing, vacation and leisure, and became the permanent meeting place of world internet conference Wuzhen Summit. The annual Wuzhen Drama Festival and Wuzhen Contemporary Art Invitational Exhibition also make it a "holy land" in the hearts of young artists.

　　Wu Cun, a village in the south of the Yangtze River, 500 meters away from Xizha and close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is also connected with tradition and the future. On the one hand, it satisfies people’s desire to escape from the familiar urban environment and gives everyone a brand-new space. On the other hand, in addition to the original natural features, a large children’s playground, a swimming pool with boundless paddy fields and a gym are all well equipped.

　　Going back to Wuzhen, Rene Liu is just like Wuzhen people: catching up with the morning market, having breakfast and drinking morning tea. Run in Xizha in the early morning, go to Wuzhen Water Market early, say good morning to Aunt Baozipu, who just opened the door, and buy fresh, crispy radish cakes &hellip; &hellip;

　　"In fact, every time I go to Wuzhen, I have a familiar and fresh feeling. Wuzhen is very beautiful when it is cloudy and not completely bright. If you don’t really have an early morning or a night there, you can’t feel it. It seems that you live in a foggy water town, and there are very few people. If you walk at will, you will have a sense of tranquility in the morning, which will often move me." Rene Liu said that she likes Wuzhen in the morning best, because it has the original appearance of life.

　　Rene Liu’s trip to Wuzhen happened to meet the Wuzhen International Contemporary Art Invitational Exhibition. After watching the exhibition, she wrote in Weibo: "Time is still in the exhibition, and it is well worth visiting."

　　In addition to the Wuzhen Art Exhibition, Rene Liu also experienced the ancient town carnival of Wuzhen Drama Festival during filming. "I feel that the travel in that ancient town seems to be a dream experience, and suddenly it has become an amusement park, so that you can go back to a very pure and childlike time."

　　"Living a local life for a few days, I think that is the best way to travel." Rene Liu went to the fields in Wu Cun, picking vegetables and cooking, and lived a "village life". This time, she is no longer a traveler who has been away from home for many years. She is more like a urbanite who has finished a week’s tiring work and just went home for an ordinary weekend.

　　After the filming in Wu Cun, Rene Liu said: "My agent told me that her favorite part was that I played with a group of children, probably because that life is very close to me now. I really like to take my children to get close to nature, let my feet step on the land, and let my hands touch nature. It is safe for you to step on that vegetable garden. I think Wu Cun feels very good."

　　The market economy is an economy ruled by law, and counterfeiting and rights protection must also be carried out according to law. Once it crosses the border, any illegal act will be punished by law.

　　

　　Using "eating goods" means applying for a refund and not returning goods, using "getting on the bus" means following others to fight counterfeiting, and using "buying tickets" means giving benefits to leading counterfeiters … It is reported that online professional anti-counterfeiting has formed a gray industrial chain, and some professional anti-counterfeiting people take profit as the purpose, buy fakes for compensation, and recruit apprentices to impart experience.

　　Professional counterfeiting is nothing new. In the 1990s, Wang Hai got double compensation for buying fake, which caused a heated discussion. In recent years, with the rapid development of e-commerce, the main position of professional anti-counterfeiting has quietly shifted, pointing the finger at a large number of online stores, and the scope of anti-counterfeiting has also expanded: it includes obvious faults such as selling fakes and price fraud in stores, as well as nonstandard commodity labels and the use of prohibited advertising words. In reality, a publishing house was reported as false propaganda by professional counterfeiters because of the word "most" in the book promotion language, and an online shop was reported as price fraud by professional counterfeiters because it failed to modify the picture price in time at the end of the promotion.

　　The behavior of knowing and buying fakes is complex, so professional counterfeiting has always been controversial. Undeniably, professional counterfeiting has really played a positive role objectively, which has cracked down on fake and shoddy products and purified the market environment to a certain extent, and is called the "woodpecker" in the market. With the rise of Internet e-commerce platform, online shopping complaints are increasing day by day. Statistics show that in 2018, the national market supervision department accepted a total of 1.682 million online shopping complaints, up 126.2% year-on-year. The complaints were mainly false advertisements, counterfeiting and substandard quality. Professional counterfeiters are familiar with consumer rights protection law, advertising law, e-commerce law and other laws and regulations, and their rights protection efficiency is high, which is beneficial to promoting consumer rights protection to a certain extent.

　　However, after years of development, the negative effects of professional counterfeiting have gradually emerged. The subjective starting point of professional anti-counterfeiting is profit, which is doomed to the limitations of anti-counterfeiting methods. Some people only look for profitable "business" in the choice of anti-counterfeiting objects, usually picking soft persimmons, deliberately looking for loopholes in novice shops, and finding problems requires privacy. Some counterfeiters lack self-discipline, from knowing and buying fakes to making fakes, and even extorting money, for example, erasing the production date of goods with liquid medicine and stuffing their hair into bread with needles. All these have not only dispelled the positive effects of counterfeiting, but also disrupted the normal market order.

　　Online professional counterfeiting, which originated from the improper behavior of merchants in the process of market transactions, will gradually withdraw with the improvement of relevant legal systems and the standardization of market supervision. Safeguarding consumers’ rights and interests and perfecting the system are the fundamental paths. In recent years, from the new revision of consumer rights protection law, the new revision of advertising law to the formal implementation of e-commerce law, from strict law enforcement by regulatory authorities to smooth channels for consumer rights protection, the network of systems for safeguarding consumer rights has become more and more dense. In case of fraud, the specific provisions, such as refund for one loss and compensation for three losses, proof of defective products by merchants, and prohibition of false propaganda, also directly hit the real problems, promote businesses to operate in compliance with the law, and continuously improve consumers’ shopping experience. With the progress of society and the improvement of the system, the space for professional counterfeiting will inevitably be gradually reduced.

　　Nowadays, the rectification mechanism is gradually taking shape in view of the phenomenon of abusing certain clauses in professional counterfeiting claims. For online professional counterfeiters, their profit-making space will be further limited, and their profit-making difficulty will also increase accordingly. Judging from the cases in recent years, whether the identity of professional counterfeiters is protected by the law on the protection of consumers’ rights and interests and whether punitive damages can be obtained can be determined by the court according to the specific circumstances. In fact, some professional counterfeiters were reported by merchants for alleged extortion, and eventually "the plot reversed", which was not worth the candle.

　　Market economy is an economy ruled by law. For professional counterfeiters, anti-counterfeiting and rights protection must also be carried out according to law, and they should not be lucky and speculative. Once you cross the border, any illegal act will be punished by law.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s plan to buy Twitter may not be good news for Twitter employees.

On October 20th, local time, Washington post quoted people familiar with the matter and a document as saying that Musk planned to reduce the number of Twitter employees from 7,500 to more than 2,000 in the next few months.

In other words, Twitter needs to cut nearly 75% of its employees.

The report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that after months of legal disputes, Musk’s planned acquisition of $44 billion is progressing in an orderly manner and is likely to be completed before October 28.

In a memo to employees after Washington post’s report, Twitter General Counsel Sean Eichette warned employees that as the transaction drew to a close, there were expected to be "a lot of public rumors and speculations". "Since the merger agreement has been put in place, there are no plans to lay off employees throughout the company," he said.

In fact, as early as April this year, Bloomberg quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Musk had told investors that he planned to lay off Twitter when he first sought funds from the bank.

However, reports in Washington post show that even if the deal between Musk and Twitter fails, the current management of Twitter plans to cut the company’s salary by about $800 million by the end of next year, which means that the company needs to fire nearly a quarter of its employees. At the same time, Twitter also plans to drastically cut its infrastructure spending, including a data center that keeps the website running normally for more than 200 million users who log in every day.

Washington post said that this change may have a significant impact on Twitter’s ability to control harmful content and prevent data security crisis in the future.

Edwin Chen, a data scientist who was in charge of Twitter spam and health indicators, said that millions of Twitter users may immediately feel the impact of such layoffs. He said that although he believes that Twitter currently has too many employees, the layoffs proposed by Musk are unimaginable, which will expose Twitter users to multiple risks such as hacking.

In the third quarter earnings conference call held by Tesla on Wednesday, Musk said that he had paid too much for Twitter: "Although it is obvious that myself and other investors have paid too high a price for Twitter now, in my opinion, the long-term potential of Twitter is one order of magnitude higher than its current value."

According to Washington post, the extent of layoffs exposed this time explains why Twitter executives are eager to sell the company to Musk &mdash; &mdash; Although Musk’s $44 billion bid is full of "hostility" and keeps swinging in the middle, it is tantamount to a cash check for this troubled social media company.

Months of bidding and a tense legal battle have left Twitter scarred. At present, Twitter is facing serious staff turnover, slow recruitment, project stagnation and stock price fluctuation.

Dan Ives, a financial analyst at Wedbush Securities, said: "It is easy for Musk to acquire Twitter, but the difficult thing is to fix it. Reversing this situation will be an arduous challenge. "

According to Washington post, according to interviews and documents, reshaping Twitter’s workforce is an important part of Musk’s ambition. Musk believes that significantly reducing the size of the company is the first step in implementing the strategy of turning losses into profits, which will then involve introducing more efficient employees and innovations, such as expanding the subscription business, that is, allowing users to pay for exclusive content provided by influential accounts.

Musk had previously told investors that he planned to double his income within three years and triple the number of daily users who watched advertisements in the same period, but he did not elaborate on how to achieve these goals.

However, people familiar with the matter also said that according to Twitter data, subscription may not bring new considerable income, because the users who watch advertisements the most on Twitter are about 1% of the number of users in the United States, which is also the most likely user to join the subscription service. If they start paying monthly, this plan may eat into the most profitable part of Twitter’s current advertising business.

The report also shows that Twitter’s human resources personnel told employees that they did not intend to lay off employees on a large scale, but the document shows that before Musk proposed to acquire the company, there had been a large number of plans to lay off employees and cut infrastructure costs. Then, on the basis of these plans, Musk will first target people with poor performance and then lay off employees at other stages.

According to Nell Minow, a business management expert, Musk may need to "sell" his ambitious plan to potential investors, but the implementation of his plan will face challenges. "He must prove that what will happen next after layoffs? What will he replace (Twitter’s original data security capabilities)? Artificial intelligence? " Nell Minow said.

As of the close of US stocks on October 20th, Twitter rose 1.18% to close at $52.44, with a market value of $40.1 billion.

　　Jinghua Times News (Reporter Jia Ting Meng Fanze) Yesterday morning, the reporter learned from the press conference of the Ministry of Culture that 19 webcasting platforms, such as Betta and Huya, were included in the list of illegal and illegal Internet cultural activities because they were suspected of containing obscenity and violence.

　　Liu Qiang, deputy director of the Cultural Market Department of the Ministry of Culture, said that there are two main types of violations in the webcast platform investigated this time. One is that the live broadcast platform for performing arts provides online performances that promote obscenity, pornography and harm social morality. Some "anchors" sexually tease and hint through body and language, and there are violations such as "flashing" and "teasing" to win the audience’s attention and attract the audience to pay for virtual gifts, which is vulgar and indecent and has a bad social impact. Furthermore, the game live broadcast platform provides the game content display with gambling, violence and abetting crime, such as the live broadcast of gangster-themed games "Grand Theft Auto (GTA)5" and "Dragon 0", etc., with bloody pictures and abetting crime, and the live broadcast of illegal game "Zha Jinhua", etc., which promotes gambling behavior and violates social public order and good customs.

　　Frequent pornographic incidents on live broadcast platforms

　　It is reported that in the past two years, webcasting has rapidly developed into a new Internet culture format, and live broadcast forms such as performing arts live broadcast and game live broadcast have emerged one after another, attracting the attention of a large number of netizens, and the market scale has grown rapidly. According to statistics, the number of users of the webcast platform has reached 200 million, and there are about three or four thousand live broadcast "rooms" online at the same time during the daily peak hours of large-scale live broadcast platforms, and the number of users can reach two or three million.

　　At present, there are about 30 enterprises engaged in webcasting in Beijing, and the industry scale is constantly expanding. Since the second half of 2015, obscene and pornographic incidents represented by "live broadcast creating people" have occurred frequently, violating social morality and even gambling and drug-related problems have occurred frequently, and even some enterprises have used this as a means to create gimmicks for financing and listing, and online pornography is facing new challenges. In this context, the Beijing Network Culture Association launched the activity of negotiating a self-discipline convention, taking regulatory measures to solve the problems existing in the current live broadcast platform and implementing the main responsibility.

　　The day before yesterday, the heads of more than 20 major enterprises engaged in online performance (live broadcast) such as Baidu, Sina, Sohu and iQiyi jointly issued the "Beijing Webcast Industry Self-discipline Convention", promising that all anchors must be certified in real names from April 18; The webcast room must be marked with watermark; Content storage time is not less than 15 days for future reference; For anchors who broadcast political, gun-related, drug-related, violent and pornographic content, serious cases will be blacklisted.

　　Last night, the reporter observed on several live broadcast platforms, such as fighting fish and battle flags, and found that the convention has not been formally implemented, and many platforms have imposed certain restrictions on the performance and dress of the anchor. For example, "it is forbidden to spread vulgar and pornographic pictures, sounds, words, games and video information, causing vulgar interaction in the venue" and "it is forbidden for women to deliberately expose sensitive parts such as cleavage and buttocks". The flag platform also requires the anchor to maintain the order of the live broadcast room and deal with the illegal audience in time. However, in some live broadcast platforms, there are still naked female anchors, and there are also many viewers who leave messages to tease and ask the anchors to "take off their clothes" and "get up and watch their legs".
