Artificial intelligence AI is both an impact and an opportunity for the film industry, so don’t be afraid to hug more and talk about it in the industry.

In February of this year, OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research company, released Sora, a large model of artificial intelligence text generation video. This artificial intelligence system can quickly produce one-minute videos, which can present complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of actions and accurate details of the theme and background. In March, a feature-length sci-fi movie "Our Terminator Reset Edition" made entirely by AI premiered offline in the United States.

"Our Terminator Reset Edition" has premiered offline in America.

In recent years, with the continuous change of AI technology, the film and television industry has increasingly felt the crisis. Last year, Hollywood writers went on strike, and one of the contradictions was that AI could generate scripts, which threatened the rights and interests of writers. The screenwriter is only one of the affected parts. In an interview with the Beijing News, film and television practitioners revealed that jobs such as atmosphere painters and lens splitters were more impacted by AI.

Will AI threaten or even subvert the film and television industry? The Beijing News interviewed Zhang Nan, a young film director /AI creative artist, and Wang Yu, a photography director (masterpiece "Gods Trilogy" and "Golden Age"), and asked them to talk about the opportunities and challenges of AI to the film and television industry. In Wang Yu’s view, although AI technology is constantly iterative and updated, and the technology is becoming more and more mature, it is not life after all and cannot replace the part of human emotion. "Man Jiang Hong" screenwriter Yu Chen said:"Human beings will have limitations and be easily emotional, and our emotional’ defects’ or even’ shortcomings’ are precisely where art meets us".In the face of the menacing AI, Zhang Nan feels that every department in the industry should learn and embrace it with a positive attitude.

It has the greatest impact on the basic production level of the film and television industry

Some time ago, Zhang Nan watched the clip of "Our Terminator Reset Edition" produced by AI. "I feel that it is more like a performance art, and its perception is definitely not as good as that of a real-life movie, but it puts forward the possibility that the movie made by AI can be close to the work made by a real person in terms of atmosphere or overall perception."

Zhang Nan began to pay attention to AI very early. In 2022, an AI painting tool, Midjourney, was launched abroad, which can directly generate pictures with words. At that time, Zhang Nan had an intuition that AI would definitely bring an innovation in the image industry, so he quickly studied the technology of generating pictures from words and generating videos from pictures. Basically, he has used all kinds of AI tools on the market, which is considered as a group of people who used AI earlier.

The AI painting tool Midjourney has been updated to the sixth generation.

In Zhang Nan’s view, the update iteration of AI technology is particularly fast. Last year, some information was sent every two or three weeks, and it was usually updated once a month or two. Take Midjourney as an example, the product has been updated to the sixth generation, and the seventh generation is also being announced in advance. It is said that there will be functions comparable to Sora. The rapid development of AI technology has had a direct impact on the film and television industry.

Zhang Nan thinks that at present, the occupations that AI has the greatest influence on the film and television industry are atmosphere painters and lens splitters, and this most intuitive design department may suffer the greatest impact. In the past, it took five people to draw a film split, and it took a month or two to draw a film split. Now ChatGPT can make a more accurate split. Before making a better atmosphere map, the cost of a map should reach 10 thousand yuan, and the cost of all kinds of communication time is also very high, so the time and funds are burning. And this is a very key department, once the atmosphere map in the early stage is not good, it may affect the future shooting and the reference of the visual effects department in the later stage. However, with AI, hundreds of atmosphere maps can be generated relatively quickly, and finally, one is chosen to continue to optimize the details based on the main creation aesthetics. The whole link is clear, which greatly saves time and manpower for each department.

With the further development of AI, photographers, composers, actors and visual effects departments are under greater pressure. Zhang Nan made several videos with AI, that is, composing music with AI, "which can reach the level I want".The photography department doesn’t need to shoot, and it doesn’t need to find an outreach to see the scenery. What kind of scenery is needed, AI can make it, saving a lot of costs. Actors may also be replaced, and now AI is developing rapidly in character micro-expressions and lines. In the later visual effects department, AI digital landscape painting can be done now, and the model problem will be solved as soon as possible when the computational power is improved. The animation department in the later period has been hit hard, because it is not necessary to adjust frame by frame, and many animation software has also joined the AI module.

With the layered iteration of AI technology, it may hit the director and screenwriter level in the future. Zhang Nan said that the so-called impact does not mean that you will definitely lose your job, but that AI will impact the work itself. Nan made an analogy. In the past, when the car came out, the coachman didn’t lose his job. Many people went to drive the car, but the horse was unemployed. After AI technology comes out, some people will definitely be impacted, but as long as they study and transform seriously, they will still do better than inexperienced people.

According to photographer Wang Yu, with the development of AI technology, the more basic it is in the film and television industry, the easier it is to be replaced. The innovation of AI technology is like the industrial revolution, but it is faster than the industrial revolution, and it is a geometric growth. It is difficult for a person to see 1000 movies for reference, but AI will be very fast, and the communication cost will be greatly reduced and the speed will be greatly improved.

Take the photography department as an example. Before the film was digitized, only the photographer knew what he was shooting. After the digitization, the department heads and producers of this group all knew what he was shooting and could judge it, which changed the logic of shooting. After the green screen shooting, the photography department needs to communicate with other departments, and there are many unknown and uncontrollable factors. But when virtual shooting in the future, it will change a creative way and imagination path, and photographers should learn this knowledge in advance.

At that time, when filming the trilogy of gods, the crew tried virtual shooting, but it failed for various reasons. As a photographer, Wang Yu said that all the visual effects shots and action shots were basically previewed dynamically, but they were two-dimensional and rough, and the effect would be more realistic with the help of AI.

What cannot be replaced is human emotion.

In Zhang Nan’s view,At present, the people who are instructive in aesthetics in every department of the film and television industry are irreplaceable by AI. In the future, AI may be able to replace some pure human departments, such as mechanical departments, equipment departments and Weiya departments, but department heads cannot be replaced because AI has no aesthetic judgment. Is this picture aesthetic or even market demand? In the end, it’s up to someone to make a decision."To take an extreme example, in medicine, AI can’t sign for relatives to take risks, and the ultimate responsibility still needs to be borne by people." Zhang Nan said that at present, it is impossible for all departments in the film and television industry to be replaced by AI, but people’s work places have changed. Maybe art doesn’t need to go to the scenery all day and hand it over to AI, but whether this scene is approved by the director or the art design will finally be left to the creative director to choose.

Wang Yu believes that although AI technology is constantly being iteratively updated and matured, it is not life after all, but it is unintentional."AI still depends on people to command, it can’t replace people’s hearts, this is the most fundamental place",Wang Yu said, AI will always be a tool, just saying how far this tool can develop in the end. Just like in Nolan’s film Oppenheimer, before the atomic bomb initiation test, General groves asked Oppenheimer, "What is the probability that we will destroy the world?" Oppenheimer replied, "Almost zero." AI is the same problem. Even if AI relies on unlimited data calculation, it can’t reach the emotional depth of live-action movies in the end.

Yu Chen, the screenwriter of "Man Jiang Hong", said in an interview with the media a few days ago that AI will not make mistakes in language logic, but it will be relatively rudimentary in content logic, so it is difficult to create a stable story with causal development, and it cannot reach the level of narrative art.. Maybe in the next few years, it will become a very important tool, because its computing power is unmatched by human beings, but when it comes to emotions and values, AI will be make a fool of oneself. In Yu Chen’s view, the closer to the level of comprehensive thinking and planning, the more difficult it is for AI, and the more specific work, the easier it is to be replaced.

In the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", the hero Andy plays the opera in the broadcast room of the prison. Because it touches human nature, AI is difficult to create at present.

Yu Chen cited a passage from the movie The Shawshank Redemption as an example: Andy, the hero, regardless of the penalty, went to the prison broadcast room to play Mozart’s opera "The Wedding of Figaro", and the inmates outside were hit by this sudden song and immersed in it. Logically speaking, it doesn’t make much sense for Andy to do this, because he will definitely be beaten and grounded afterwards. It is difficult for AI to create such a paragraph that touches human nature. Yu Chen said:"Human beings will have limitations and be easily emotional, and our emotional’ defects’ or even’ shortcomings’ are precisely where art meets us".

In Yu Chen’s view, asking questions will be a very important ability. In the future, a very important career may be an AI questioner. It is particularly important to be able to ask questions well and come up with very effective and interesting results.

It may be too early to say that AI technology will subvert the film and television industry.Sora has just broken through the limit of making a one-minute video, but it is still not stable, and it is still far from making a film with pictures, stories and characters, especially a feature film with thoughts and feelings.Technology will not only replace some tools, but also create new industries and new jobs. As long as AI has no independent consciousness, all subjective content will eventually fall on people. The film and television industry welcomes the embrace of new technologies. As long as ideas are unique, they cannot be replaced, because the most fundamental difference between humans and animals is that they can use and make tools.

Will give different aesthetic works for individuals.

So far, Zhang Nan has made six short videos with AI. "When I made the first film, AI was still not perfect, and then it got better and better. You can see from the videos I made that AI technology is really developing." Recently, Zhang Nan released these short videos in bilibili under the screen name of "Little Bear", and the number of hits of the album has exceeded 200,000.

These two or three-minute videos are almost all made through AI, including music. Dubbing is done by Zhang Nan’s voice plus the voice generated by AI. He usually takes time to do a little, and he can do it in a week at the latest. If he concentrates on it, he can finish it easily in two or three days, but he still needs fine tuning.

Zhang Nan thinks that AI has another advantage, that is, when making videos, you don’t have to think clearly before you start, because AI will give you some inspiration. For example, you have an idea in your mind, but you haven’t figured out the specific picture yet. After AI gives a specific picture, you can always adjust your idea according to the details inside, which is a kind of communication and promotes the progress of thinking.

In Zhang Nan’s latest video "Revenge of the Prince of the Meow Star Right Tour" made with AI, there are two shots with real material. He wants to try to put AI and the real shot together, and will it be inconsistent in perception? The result proves that the viewer can’t see it at all. "Although AI is immature at present, it is entirely possible if we use real shot plus AI to complete a movie." Zhang Nan specially emphasized.

Regarding the concept that AI is a super tool, Zhang Nan felt that he didn’t quite agree with it in the process of using AI. "If it is a tool, I will build an axe, fully knowing that this axe will help me cut down trees, but AI is not, because it is multimodal, can adapt to different industries, has a set of neural networks, can think and even learn by myself." Zhang Nan said that communication with AI should not attempt to control it with data, but communicate.

For example, enter a string of words: a bird is flying in the sky. AI will give many answers, such as how to fly, cloudy or sunny, day or night, and then when you enter the artistic description, you may need to improve your aesthetics, know roughly which artist’s artistic style you want to learn, and then tell AI, AI will search the world’s works about this artist and get what you want. The next time AI generates a similar diagram for you, it will actually know your aesthetic tendency with great probability."AI is also learning a little bit. The same prompt, what I made with my own AI is different from what my friends did."

Zhang Nan thinks,AI will give different aesthetic works for everyone. Therefore, this requires creators to read a lot of books and look at aesthetic things, instead of letting AI guide people. Otherwise, the works made by AI are beautiful, but they are not attractive.Zhang Nan said that as a film, it is very important to return to its textuality and literariness. It is impossible to fool the audience casually. There are too many beautiful things that the audience will see in the future, but thoughtful works are still rare. It depends on how you do it.

Embracing AI with an open attitude may be a brand-new opportunity.

In Zhang Nan’s view, AI will definitely set off a wave of technological revolution, and the film and television industry will bear the brunt. Because all AI shows are mainly images now, this form is the most intuitive and represents people’s basic image demands. In fact, the biggest impact of AI is not film and television, but it is a real big change in politics, economy, science and technology, and military affairs. AI is like a big pipeline, and each department can plug in a straw and draw some of what it needs.

In the face of the fierce AI, Zhang Nan feels that every department in the film and television industry should study it, and use it first without learning too well. "Because no one knows how far AI will develop in the end, whether even the director is not needed in the end, and no one needs it. It is also possible, but we don’t know when that day will come, but now it seems that it will take time."

Zhang Nan has seen a lecture by a representative who is very professional in artificial intelligence in the Asia-Pacific region before. Someone asked him a question: In the face of AI, everyone is very confused. How should we keep our jobs? The man said: Now many scientists all over the world, including sociologists, will be confused. Let’s use it first, then see how it develops, and then let it go.

At present, the film made by Zhang Nan has started AI intervention, and now many shots are being tested, and the effect is no different from that of real shooting. "In the past six months, it should be impossible for AI to replace the real lens on a large scale, but it will definitely be in the future." After the more advanced AI like Sora comes out, its next generation will definitely be better, which will greatly shorten the film cycle and improve the shooting efficiency. In this way, directors like it, because they can express their ideas intuitively, and investors like it, which can save money and do better.

In Wang Yu’s view, if people make good use of AI, they can get twice the result with half the effort. If they are afraid of it, it will become your yoke. People always use tools, and can’t be commanded by tools. Just like the fire of Prometheus, the use of fire by human beings is a good tool for human beings, but if human beings are used by fire, it will become a disaster.

After AI is involved in the film and television industry, is it meaningless to shoot? Zhang Nan thinks that some different tracks may be formed in the future, such as the recently released Russian space movie Challenge, which has achieved the feat of real shooting in space. This is an effect that AI can’t achieve so far. When paying tribute to art and taking people’s spiritual beliefs as the driving force, only real shooting is meaningful. If you want to make a pure commercial film, there is almost no problem in presenting it in AI mode. In the future, AI movies may be popular and become an artistic product in the era of equal rights in science and technology. Everyone can create them, but the level must be high or low, forming a pyramid structure, and the corresponding track is to create another pyramid with real shots.

For screenwriter Chen Yu,Now is an era in which challenges and opportunities coexist. Whether it is the change of science and technology or the change of society, everyone should go deeper and accept this change, or they will be eliminated. Generally speaking, we should have a more open attitude and a positive attitude to look at AI technology, which can force the creators and eliminate some mediocre creations. From another perspective, this is a brand-new opportunity.

How many years can adult undergraduate English be tested?

How many years can adult undergraduate English be tested? On this issue, I believe that many candidates who want to improve their academic qualifications will have certain interest. In view of this, Xiaobian has compiled some related contents and summarized them as follows. I believe that candidates will have a deeper understanding through the following articles.

How many years can adult undergraduate English be tested?

The validity period of the English test for adult undergraduate degree is generally three or five years. During the validity period, the results can be used to apply for an adult undergraduate degree, or as the basis for students to transfer, transfer or upgrade. However, once the validity period has passed, the results will no longer be valid, and can not be used to apply for adult undergraduate degrees, nor can they be used as the basis for students to transfer, transfer and upgrade.

What are the contents of adult college entrance examination undergraduate degree English test?

It’s not very difficult to take a degree English exam. The topics of the degree English exam in each province are different. The provincial education examination institute unifies the proposition and arranges the exam. The difficulty of the exam is generally about three levels, and the difficulty is not great. The main questions are reading comprehension, words and grammar, cloze, translation and writing.

Reading comprehension is the main part of the English test for the degree of adult examination, which mainly examines the ability to obtain information through reading, which requires both understanding ability and a certain speed of answering questions. Reading and understanding the article is extensive, but the background knowledge involved should be understandable by students, which is moderately difficult.

Then there is the part of word usage and grammatical structure, which is also a difficult question to master in the adult college entrance examination degree English test, which requires a certain grammatical foundation and a good sense of language. It mainly examines students’ ability to use vocabulary, phrases and grammatical structures.

Then there is the fault-finding part, which is actually an extension of the word usage and grammatical structure part. The purpose is to test the proficiency of candidates in mastering vocabulary, phrases and grammatical structures, and its assessment focuses on vocabulary, phrases and grammatical structures, fixed collocation and sentence patterns.

Finally, cloze and translation, which are easy to score in adult college entrance examination degree English test. Cloze articles are moderately difficult, and some options will involve some important grammatical content. However, the difficulty of translating sentences is lower than that of English articles in texts.

The above is the answer to the question "How many years can adult undergraduate English be tested?" I hope Xiaobian’s answer can answer the questions of the candidates. If candidates have other questions about the improvement of adult education, they can pay more attention to the content update of the online channel for continuing education college students.

How much has the salary of executives of A-share real estate enterprises dropped? The biggest drop was 8 million less.

  Recently, with the announcement of the annual report of A-share housing enterprises, the annual salary of executives of housing enterprises has gradually surfaced.

  The data shows that the average annual salary of the top 20 directors of A-share listed real estate enterprises in 2022 is 4.1 million yuan, which is 2.17 million yuan less than that in 2020, with a decrease of 34.6%. In the past two years, Yu Liang, the chairman of the board of directors of Vanke Group, has the largest salary reduction, and his annual salary has dropped from 12.473 million yuan in 2020 to 3.935 million yuan in 2022, a decrease of nearly 70%.

  Similarly, the salary of the secretaries of housing enterprises also declined. Among the A-share listed housing enterprises in 2022, the average annual salary of the top 20 secretaries was 2.5 million yuan, down 23.3% from 3.26 million yuan in 2020.

  Previously, real estate was a well-known high-paying industry. However, with this round of industry clearing, the salary level of real estate practitioners began to decline. On May 9, the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed that in 2022, the average wage of employees in 18 of the 19 industry categories increased year-on-year, and only the average wage level of the real estate industry decreased.

  The chairman’s annual salary has dropped by more than 30%

  In the second half of 2021, real estate sales declined, and many private housing enterprises exploded one after another. In order to save money and "live", real estate enterprises’ salary reduction became a common phenomenon. Therefore, 2020, before the emergence of the industry crisis, became the latest year when the annual salary of housing enterprises was higher. In the following two years, the salary of senior executives of housing enterprises began to be discounted.

  Wind data shows that in 2022, Chen Jinshi, the chairman of Zhongnan Construction, earned an annual salary of 10.88 million yuan, which is the highest among the directors of A-share listed real estate enterprises, followed by Li Guangning of Huafa Co., Ltd., Ping Liu of Poly Development Co., Ltd., 5.6 million yuan, and Xu Yongjun of China Merchants Shekou Co., Ltd., with an annual salary of over 5 million yuan, and only Chen Jinshi. In 2020, when the real estate market is relatively good, there will be 11 directors of A-share listed real estate enterprises with an annual salary of more than 5 million, including 4 directors with an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan.

  In addition, from the perspective of the whole industry, in 2022, Chen Jinshi, the chairman with the highest annual salary in A-share listed real estate enterprises, ranked 24th in the whole A-share listed companies in terms of salary, and the chairman of real estate enterprises was not seen in the top 20. In 2020, the top 20 companies will be Zhongnan Construction, Vanke, Dima and Rong Sheng Development, and there will be six in 2019. Obviously, with the end of the golden age of the real estate industry and the rise of other emerging industries, the high salary of the real estate chairman is also bleak.

  Judging from the average salary, the average salary of the top 20 directors with the highest annual salary among A-share listed real estate enterprises in 2022 was 4.1 million yuan, and when the real estate market was good in 2020, the average salary was 6.27 million yuan, compared with the high point in 2020. In 2022, the average salary of the directors of A-share listed real estate enterprises has dropped by more than 30%.

  Specifically, among the top 20 directors of A-share listed real estate enterprises in 2022, Yu Liang, the chairman of Vanke, had the biggest annual salary drop compared with 2020, with an annual salary of 3.935 million yuan in 2022, a decrease of 8.538 million yuan compared with 12.473 million yuan in 2020, and a salary drop of nearly 70% in two years. Yu Liang’s annual salary dropped sharply in 2021. In the previous 10 years, as the president or chairman of the board of directors of Vanke, a leading real estate enterprise, Yu Liang’s annual salary was mostly higher than 10 million yuan. In 2021, Vanke’s net profit attributable to listed companies decreased by 45.7% year-on-year, the largest decline since its listing. In that year, Yu Liang voluntarily gave up all bonuses, and the annual salary was reduced to 1.547 million yuan. Eight senior executives working in Vanke, including Yu Liang, were reduced by 50%.

  Chen Jinshi, the chairman of Zhongnan Construction, ranked second in the annual salary reduction in two years, with a decrease of 5.62 million yuan in 2022 compared with 16.5 million yuan in 2020; Followed by Ling Ke, the chairman of gemdale, with an annual salary of 4.81 million yuan in 2022, a decrease of 4.62 million yuan compared with 9.43 million yuan in 2020; Zhang Yuliang, the chairman of Greenland Holdings, earned an annual salary of 4,727,300 yuan in 2022, a decrease of 3,384,400 yuan compared with 2020.

  It is worth noting that under the background of overall salary reduction, the annual salary of the chairman of real estate enterprises has also increased year by year. In 2022, the annual salary of Li Guangning, the chairman of Huafa Co., Ltd., was 7.21 million yuan, and his annual salary in 2020 and 2021 was 6.093 million yuan and 6.671 million yuan respectively. In the two years when the real estate industry went down, Li Guangning’s annual salary rose steadily, with a salary increase of 1.117 million yuan in two years. This is not unrelated to the operation of Huafa Co., Ltd. in recent years. From 2020 to 2022, the operating income of Huafa Co., Ltd. was 51.01 billion yuan, 51.24 billion yuan and 59.19 billion yuan respectively, and the sales ranking jumped from 34 in 2020 to 18 in 2022.

  The annual salary of the secretary-general has dropped by more than 20%

  The secretary of the board of directors (hereinafter referred to as "the secretary of the board") is also a position with higher salary among the executives of listed companies. In the past two years, the salary decline of the secretary of the board of directors has also become a common phenomenon.

  Wind data shows that in 2022, there are five secretaries of A-share listed real estate enterprises with an annual salary of more than 3 million yuan, namely, Huang Hai of Poly Development, Zhu Xu of Vanke A, Wu Xiaofeng of Rong Sheng Development, Li Yushan of Huaxia Happiness, and Wang Xiaodong of Greenland Holdings. In 2020, there are 9 secretaries of A-share listed real estate enterprises with an annual salary of over 3 million yuan, of which two are over 5 million yuan, namely Zhu Xu of Vanke with 5.76 million yuan and Wang Xiaodong of Greenland Holdings with 5.54 million yuan.

  From the industry average, the average salary of the top 20 A-share listed real estate enterprises in 2020 was 3.26 million yuan, and it has dropped to 2.5 million yuan in 2022, a decrease of 23.3%. Specifically, compared with 2020, among the top 20 secretaries of A-share listed real estate enterprises in 2022, Wang Xiaodong, whose annual salary dropped the most, earned 3,320,700 yuan in 2022, a decrease of 2,217,600 yuan, or 40.04%, compared with 5,538,300 yuan in 2020, followed by Liang Jie of Zhongnan Construction, with a decrease of 1.89 million yuan; Xu Jiajun, gemdale, decreased by 1.83 million yuan; Zhu Xu of Vanke Group decreased by 1.459 million yuan; Guanshan in OCT A decreased by 1,237,600 yuan. In the past two years, there have been five secretaries whose annual salary has dropped by more than 1 million.

  Then, in the past two years, has there been an increase in the annual salary of the secretaries of housing enterprises? Aside from the companies that changed their secretaries in the last two years, compared with the top 20 secretaries in A-share listed real estate enterprises in 2020 and 2022, the salaries of Lou Xin of Gorgeous Family, Yan Wenjun of Shirong Zhaoye and Xu Jun of New Huangpu rose by 500,800 yuan, 336,800 yuan and 68,000 yuan respectively, and none of them rose by more than one million yuan.

  From the perspective of the whole industry, in 2022, there were 14 secretaries of A-share listed companies with an annual salary of over 5 million. As the first secretary of A-share listed real estate enterprises, Huang Hai’s salary ranked 24th among the secretaries of A-share listed companies. Obviously, whether it is the increase or the industry ranking, the "annual salary aura" of the secretary-general of A-share listed real estate enterprises is not as good as before.

  Take Zhu Xu, who is known as the "golden secretary" in the real estate industry, as an example. Since joining Vanke Group in 2016, Zhu Xu has been serving as the secretary of the board of directors of the company. In his first year in office, Zhu Xu’s annual salary was 7.315 million yuan. In 2017, Zhu Xu became the highest-paid secretary-general of A-share listed companies with an annual salary of 8.125 million yuan, which ushered in the highlight of his career. In the following years, Zhu Xu’s annual salary remained above 5 million yuan. Until 2021, under the background that Vanke’s net profit fell sharply and executives took the initiative to reduce salary, Zhu Xu’s annual salary also fell below 5 million yuan.

  In fact, the salary reduction is not limited to the executives of real estate enterprises, and the overall salary of the real estate industry has declined. On May 9th, the National Bureau of Statistics released the average wage data of urban employees in 2022. Among 19 industry categories, the average wage of employees in 18 industries increased year-on-year, and only the average wage level of real estate industry decreased.

  Specifically, among urban non-private units, the average annual salary of employees in the real estate industry is 90,346 yuan, down 0.9% year-on-year. Among urban private units, the average annual salary of employees in the real estate industry was 56,435 yuan, down 3.2% year-on-year.

China rugby staged its first Olympic show, defying the strong enemy to play the spirit.

"Source of this article: Popular Daily"
July 29th is a historic day for China football. On this morning, the women’s rugby match of Tokyo Olympic Games started in Tokyo Stadium. China played against the United States in the first match of Group C, which was the first show of China rugby at the Olympic Games.
Among the 13 athletes of China team, there are five Shandong girls, namely Tang Minglin, Xu Xiaoyan, Yang Feifei, Yu Xiaoming and Ruan Hongting, who made history with the team.
In Rio 2016 Olympic Games, rugby sevens was listed as an Olympic event. Unfortunately, the men’s and women’s rugby teams in China failed to break through the qualifying round. Until November 10th, 2019, China women’s rugby team won the qualification for the Tokyo Olympic Games by beating China Hongkong Team 33-0 in the Asian Regional Qualifier of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and China rugby finally got the chance to make its debut at the Olympic Games.
In order to play the Tokyo Olympic Games well, the China women’s football team is preparing for the war with great concentration. The Tokyo Olympic Games was postponed for one year because of the epidemic, which gave the China team more time to polish and improve. "The state gave us the most powerful support and guarantee. We actively prepared for the war by fighting mock matches, team competitions, and men’s training with women. Every day, we run and run, and we know that every step is one step closer to our dreams." Yang Feifei said.
This process is not easy for everyone. Yang Feifei suffered from injuries and felt reluctant to see his teammates leave. "It is difficult, but persistence is the most beautiful."
At 10 am local time, the match between China and the United States began. "The Olympic Games is the highest stage. I am very proud to stand on this stage and want to show myself well." Tang Minglin said. It’s not just Tang Minglin who holds this idea. "Everyone of us is very excited and wants the whole world to see our style." Yang Feifei told reporters.
Rugby in China started late. Although it has developed rapidly, it still lags behind the top teams in Europe and America. As the fifth place in the Rio Olympic Games, the United States has a better strength. In the face of strong enemies, the girls in China did not fear, but showed their vigor. Only 2 minutes after the opening, China team was led by Wang Wanyu, and the two sides tied at 7 in the first half. In the second half, the United States showed its strength advantage.
