After Kung Fu, Stephen Chow started the mode of "sentimental consumption"?


Special feature of 1905 film network I don’t know when it became the "punching place" of the film circle.From the summer of 2023,Never Say Never, to the New Year’s Eve fileThe annual meeting can’t stop! 》The interaction, as well as the previous praise of small-budget movies.Galaxy writer,weekstarChi is not absent.


In addition, he frequently warmed up for the new film Shaolin Women’s Football, first recruiting actresses, and then repeatedly with the former women’s football international.a surnameLenaWomen’s international defenderLi JiaYue linkage, it seems that distanceFrom the filming of this new film, it is only a short step. And it’s been a long timeMermaid 2There are also new news, which has been submitted for trial and is expected to meet the audience this year.



"Stephen Chow IP" will also be developed infinitely in the future.


At the beginning of the year, he launched the "9527 Theater" in conjunction with the short video platform, and planned to launch the first work "Golden Pig and Jade Leaf" at the end of May; Another video platform has reached a strategic cooperation with Bigao Group, which belongs to Stephen Chow, and will carry out all-round cooperation in film and television around more than ten classic IPS in Stephen Chow, among which Stephen Chow joined the variety show "king of comedy Stand-up Season"; The film has also been adapted into a series of the same name, starring,, and others.



Stephen Chow is very busy, and Stephen Chow IP is still a hot topic in the film and television circle today.


Just look closely at these follow-up contents. Except for The Mermaid, he seems to be repeating his IP over and over again. Has Stephen Chow really started the mode of "sentimental consumption"?



Stephen Chow’s business experience


The word "Stephen Chow" is undoubtedly valuable in the China market.


In 2013, with one film, the Chinese New Year movie was opened, and the film market in China entered a stage of rapid development. After a lapse of three years, he continued to hit the Spring Festival again with The Mermaid, becoming the first film in China’s film history to break 3 billion box office, and the box office data was not surpassed until the summer of the following year.



Subsequently, Stephen Chow started the movie "Journey to the West" and the Spring Festival in 2017 and 2019, during which Mermaid 2 was launched in the spring of 2018. Although the film Journey to the West is directed by, the key point of the work is "Stephen Chow+Tsui Hark" from creation to release and publicity.



In the past 10 years or so, Stephen Chow has completed the creation and shooting of five films, four of which have been shown to the audience in the Spring Festival that year, with a total box office of nearly 7 billion.


In addition, the classic film series starring it was also restored and re-screened, and the extended commemorative version was re-released in 2017, which won 186 million box office results.



Although the audience never saw "Actor Stephen Chow" in these new films, he always appeared as a director, producer and screenwriter, and the commercial status of "Stephen Chow’s Works" never wavered.


Since The Mermaid, the team started the initiative of not watching movies before the release in the Mainland, and only earned the public’s curiosity with the word "Stephen Chow". Facts have proved that this model was effective until the New king of comedy.



Whether it’s "Demon Journey to the West", "Mermaid" or "A Chinese Odyssey", there will be a saying that "the movie tickets owed to Stephen Chow should be returned" more or less.


Obviously, "affection" is Stephen Chow’s killer skill in the past ten years.



From the series of Journey to the West, to New king of comedy, and even the officially announced Shaolin Women’s Football Team, we can find that these works all inject new vitality into Stephen Chow’s past classic works, and all of them correspond to A Chinese Odyssey, king of comedy and shaolin soccer.



Moreover, it is not difficult to find that the dream played in "New king of comedy" is considered to be the female version of Yin Tianchou, and the plot of "king of comedy" can be seen everywhere in the feature film — — Lunch stalks, foot stalks, folding stools, dead bodies, and "Self-cultivation of Actors".


Even the most classic scene of "I raise you" in the previous work is reproduced by the heroine Dream and Yang Li, a walk-on partner, in the form of a play in the play, and the clip is dubbed by Stephen Chow and Qinzi.


These dense eggs seem to be the hard evidence of Stephen Chow’s "selling feelings".



In almost 10 years’ works, except The Mermaid, which is an original IP, all the other works that Stephen Chow participated in are connected with the classic works of the past.


Nowadays, in addition to film production, Stephen Chow IP has also been developed infinitely.


The "9527" short drama theater originated from the "9527" stalk that appeared many times in Stephen Chow’s works. In the film, the number of Tang Bohu, played by Stephen Chow, who mixed into Washington as a servant was "9527". In the future, there will be more than ten classic IPS for all-round development of variety shows and dramas.



He will be the initiator of the variety show "king of comedy Stand-up Season" in the future, and he will be highly involved in the recording of the whole program. This may become his rare experience in participating in variety shows. Judging from the current official lineup, the show is all around him, the "king of comedy".



It’s just these various projects that make people curious. Has Stephen Chow started to "stir up cold rice"?


"Fried cold rice" or "new creation"?


Applause is always accompanied by doubt.Before the release of "Demon Journey to the West", someone asked him why he filmed it again.WestTravel notes.This even became a question that he was repeatedly asked during the film promotion period. He played his own comedy style and responded, "I just can’t think of anything else to shoot. Hahahaha!"



When it came to "New king of comedy", he was even more exposed to the face and asked if it was fried cold rice.


"I’ve only fried Yangzhou fried rice, but I really haven’t fried cold rice." The playful reply is quite like the "Star Master" in that year.


It’s just his more real original intention. "Twenty years ago and now are two very different environments, and there are many different things, but as some grassroots people, we still need to work hard to fight for our ideals. There is no time limit. It is like this for everyone, and it has never disappeared in my heart."



It is true that apart from the nonsense comedies of Stephen Chow’s signature in these works, he tried to try different contents in his creation.


For example, in the past, A Chinese Odyssey was more nonsense, but in the series of Westward Journey, both he and director Tsui Hark, while continuing the nonsense sign, pushed the style to a more dark and cruel direction.


On the expression of the theme, Stephen Chow once again wrote an epic love beyond life and death, and on the other hand sublimated it to the higher dimension of Purdue beings. He even changed the classic line "Love you for ten thousand years" to "Ten thousand years is too long, just love now".



However, between king of comedy and New king of comedy, apart from the change of gender, the fate of the protagonist also has different stories. Yin Tianchou struggled for a long time, and finally missed success. Dreaming like a dream has a happy ending in "New king of comedy", and even the space about dreaming family is gradually increasing.


In today’s Stephen Chow, I hope the audience can see that life will not be a walk-on forever.



This also makes the outside world particularly curious about Shaolin Women’s Football, which is still being produced. From the title of the film, it seems that it only changes the main role from male to female, but I believe that Stephen Chow’s past creative mode will inevitably make a more contemporary expression at the core of the story.



As for the possibility beyond the film, Stephen Chow always pays close attention to the current technology and creation.


The reason why he cooperated with the platform for short drama theater, he found that short drama is a rapidly developing field of scientific and technological innovation and media innovation in recent years, "because I hope to have new attempts."


Not only that, we can see from the dynamics of his social media that he is also looking for talents of web.30 (decentralized Internet running on blockchain technology) and is studying AI technology, which also makes people curious, whether he will reflect newer technology and ideas in his creation in the future.



It’s just that the current development of other past IPS is based on emotional consumption, but it can’t be ignored that these models are continuing the vitality of the movie IP itself, stimulating the internal driving force of the story in a pan-entertainment way, and interpreting the core of the story with the current era.


For the audience, they want to see the unique charm of Stephen Chow’s works and create more new possibilities after the redevelopment of these IPS. Perhaps only in this form can we truly live up to the feelings of the audience.

Tibet is an important national ecological security barrier, with almost all types of terrestrial ecosystems. Protecting Tibet’s ecological environment is beneficial to the future and the world.

Tibet has included all the areas with the most important ecosystem, the most unique natural landscape, the most essence of natural heritage and the richest biodiversity into the candidate areas of national parks. These areas are also the carriers of the national ecological security pattern of "two screens and three belts" and the important ecological protection and restoration projects of "three areas and four belts", which are of great significance for building the ecological barrier of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, protecting the ecological security of China, even Asia and even the world, coping with climate change and protecting biodiversity.

The uniqueness of Tibet National Park

The candidate areas of Tibet National Park include the world’s highest peak and the most spectacular extremely high mountain group, the largest and deepest canyon, the world’s largest glacial action center except the North and South Poles, the largest alpine desert and alpine grassland, the inland plateau lake with the largest number of lakes and the highest lake elevation, the most developed permafrost area in the middle and low latitudes of the northern hemisphere, and the most unique natural landscape and the most essential natural heritage.

These areas are the core distribution areas of rare and endangered protected species such as Tibetan antelope, wild yak and snow leopard, which have the largest number of wild populations and the richest genetic diversity in the world. They are the gene bank of plateau species, one of the key hotspots of biodiversity conservation in China and the world, and have a very important position in the global alpine biodiversity. These areas are also the unique cultural protection sites of the Chinese nation, and they are the demonstration and inheritance sites of snow culture in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the model of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

Construction of Tibet National Park

Attach great importance to it for a long time. In 2014, Tibet started basic work such as scientific investigation and resource investigation in the areas of Mount Everest and Qiangtang. In 2021, the Tenth Party Congress of the Autonomous Region proposed to "strive to build two national parks, Mount Everest and Qiangtang, consolidate the good momentum of developing one of the regions with the best ecological environment in the world, and strive to make the construction of ecological civilization at the forefront of the country". Wang Junzheng, secretary of the Party Committee of the Autonomous Region, has successively given instructions such as "actively promoting the construction of Qiangtang National Park, effectively protecting the source of rivers and the water tower of Asia", "deepening the construction of Mount Everest National Park, strengthening the protection of glaciers" and "accelerating the construction of national parks such as Tangbei area of the Three Rivers, Qiangtang and Mount Everest". Tibet has vigorously promoted the construction of national parks, and all work has been comprehensively promoted. At present, the construction of Sanjiangyuan National Park is accelerating, and the candidate areas of Qiangtang and Everest National Parks have been approved by the national reply.

Top-level design, multi-party promotion. Organized and compiled the Demonstration Report of roof of the world National Park Group in Tibet, made the Decision on Establishing a National Demonstration Zone for Ecological Civilization Construction and Accelerating the Construction of Beautiful Tibet, promulgated the Regulations on Ecological Civilization Construction in Xizang Autonomous Region, and issued a series of institutional documents such as Xizang Autonomous Region’s Implementation Opinions on Establishing a Nature Reserve System with National Parks as the Main Body. With the cordial care of the CPC Central Committee and the strong support of the relevant state departments, the administrative areas of Qinghai Province and the areas related to the actual use and management of Xizang Autonomous Region, north of Tanggula Mountain, were included in the scope of Sanjiangyuan National Park, and the mechanism of "unified planning, unified policies, separate management and separate responsibility" was innovatively implemented in the two provinces of Qinghai and Tibet, which greatly promoted the implementation of the overall ecological protection, system restoration, comprehensive management and ecological enrichment project in this region.

Protection first, system governance. The tenth Party Congress of the autonomous region proposed to establish a nature reserve system with national parks as the main body and increase the protection of forests, wetlands and grasslands. Tibet adheres to the integrated protection, restoration and systematic management of mountains, rivers, fields, lakes, grass, sand and ice, strengthens the protection of important river sources and key river basins such as the Yangtze River, the Yarlung Zangbo River and the Nujiang River, maintains the authenticity and integrity of the key protected wildlife distribution areas such as Tibetan antelope and wild yak in China, implements the withdrawal of regional mining rights, and strengthens the management of the ecological environment, which has greatly promoted the protection of biodiversity in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Government-led, diversified investment. The finance of the autonomous region has arranged a total of 500 million yuan to build 92 high-standard management stations in Qiangtang and Everest, employ 930 professional managers of farmers and herdsmen, and arrange 50 million yuan for monitoring, supervision and ecological management every year. Guangdong Changlong Group donated 100 million yuan in five years, and successively implemented the capacity improvement projects of Tibet Tibetan Antelope Research Center and 73 management stations in Qiangtang Nature Reserve. Tibet Amacang Foundation has equipped 780 professional managers of farmers and herdsmen in Qiangtang with winter patrol clothes. Vanke Public Welfare Foundation has invested more than 10 million yuan to carry out snow leopard monitoring in Mount Everest Reserve. The autonomous region has also implemented a series of major projects, such as returning grazing to wild areas, ecological environment protection and restoration, wetland protection and restoration, compensation for damage caused by wild animals, improvement of wildlife habitats, and establishment of ecological poverty alleviation posts, and gradually formed a government-led and multi-party fund investment mechanism for national park construction and management, which has achieved positive results.

Innovate means and strengthen monitoring. Tibet cooperated with a number of scientific research institutes and adopted advanced technical means. Over the past 10 years, more than 500 people went deep into Qiangtang area for 24 times, wearing 15 sets of satellite tracking collars, installing 2 sets of high-definition intelligent spherical cameras and more than 200 infrared cameras for Tibetan antelope population. The preliminary study revealed the migration law of Tibetan antelope in Qiangtang. The largest delivery room of Tibetan antelope was found, with a population of more than 100 thousand; The drone photographed 60,000 Tibetan antelopes migrating. For the first time, snow leopard monitoring and research were jointly carried out in Everest Nature Reserve, and the continuous monitoring time was 6 years. The survey results show that the suitable habitat area of snow leopards in the candidate area of Mount Everest National Park is about 11,100 square kilometers, and the estimated number of snow leopards is 106-114. In the candidate areas of national parks such as Qiangtang and Everest, scientific research monitoring and evaluation were first carried out.

Pay attention to the platform and increase publicity. Tibet has cooperated with mainstream media such as CCTV to carry out a large-scale scientific research report on "We and Tibetan antelope" for 10 consecutive years, and presented the scene of Tibetan antelope migration and calving to the world audience by more than 200 live broadcasts and recordings. In cooperation with Beijing Forestry University, Vanke Public Welfare Foundation, etc., China introduced the multi-party cooperation mechanism between reserve management bureau, public welfare foundation and scientific research team in snow leopard protection at international snow leopard protection academic conferences such as Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and global snow leopard and ecosystem. Many times in the "International Snow Leopard Day" public welfare publicity activities, the achievements and progress in the protection of snow leopards on Mount Everest were introduced, and publications such as Little Snow Leopard: Friends of Snow Mountain and Mount Everest: Little-known Secret of Life were published.

The future of Tibet National Park

Improve the political position and gather together the national ecological protection strategy. The autonomous region regards the construction of national parks as "the biggest in the country", and as an important part of the construction of ecological civilization, it strives to make Tibet’s contribution to safeguarding the ecological security of the country, protecting the roof of the world, the water tower of Asia, the roof of the world of the earth, and building a national ecological security barrier.

Focus on protection objectives and establish and improve the ecological system. According to the functional orientation, protection objectives, management principles and management subjects of national parks, study and formulate laws and regulations that are compatible with national park laws and regulations, combined with reality, and matched with protection and management tasks, so as to provide institutional guarantee for ecological protection, construction management and ecological enrichment of national parks.

Innovate the development mechanism and gradually realize standardization. Adhere to the principle of natural restoration, give necessary artificial promotion, strengthen the protection site, patrol road network, monitoring and control, emergency relief, forest and grassland fire prevention, pest control, wild animal epidemic monitoring, prevention and control, protection and management facilities construction, establish and improve high-tech monitoring means, promote the informationization and intelligence of protection patrol monitoring, and gradually realize standardization and standardization.

Based on protection and construction, vigorously implement the ecological enrichment project. The candidate areas of national parks in Tibet are located in glacier snow-capped mountains, river headwaters, lakes and marshes, grassland forests, Gobi deserts and areas rich in animal and plant resources. These places are difficult in conditions, location and development. Combined with the construction of national parks, people who have the ability to work will be transformed into ecological rangers on the spot and get paid for their work in ecological protection. Adhere to the ecological protection first, coordinate the relationship between protection and development, moderately carry out eco-cultural tourism, let the people eat eco-food and embark on the road of getting rich in participating in ecological protection construction, and realize the unity of ecological protection, green development and improvement of people’s livelihood.

Innovate the construction mode and continuously enrich the connotation of ecological aid to Tibet. Tibet’s national parks are expected to rank among the top in the country. In addition, Tibet’s harsh natural environment, lack of talents and backward technology have shortcomings and weaknesses in fulfilling the responsibilities of ecological protection and restoration, supervision and management, scientific research and monitoring, and publicity and education of national parks. Exploring and expanding the new mechanism of group aid to Tibet, and effectively increasing the introduction of talents and counterpart support will help to further accelerate the construction of national parks in Tibet, which is of great practical significance for making national parks an important strategic place to build a national ecological security barrier, an important demonstration place to achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature, an important experimental place to promote green development, an important exhibition place to highlight nature protection, and an important pioneer place to realize ecological enrichment.

  Toyota Camry, the traditional enemy of Accord, was just introduced into China years ago. The two generations are so close apart and similar in concept. Both of them adopt younger design elements and put aside the strong business atmosphere of their predecessors to attract young consumers. In the future, the two will also launch a fight in the market. Comparatively speaking, Buick Regal, Volkswagen Magotan and other models in the mid-level car market still retain a strong business temperament, and there will be a big competition between young and stable market in the future.

The 10th generation Accord was officially released at a price of 169,800-229,800 yuan.

  The design of the 10th generation Accord is in sharp contrast with that of the previous generation, and its strong sportsmanship turns the target user group to the young consumer group. At the same time, the new car has also made many changes for young users from the power level to the configuration level. From the strong power output to the introduction of more fashionable and internet-based configurations, we can see that Guangqi Honda is full of sincerity, and the arrival of the new Accord will inevitably stir up the mid-level car market.

Tesla Shanghai factory prepares for new models: the modified Model Y will be mass-produced next month, and the six-seat version will be unveiled in 2025.

On December 18 th, according to the "Late Auto" report, Tesla Shanghai Factory is about to usher in two new models, both of which are Model Y series. One is the modified Model Y that will be mass-produced next month, and the other is the six-seat Model Y that is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The redesigned Model Y will learn from the new design concept of Model 3 Huan, and comprehensively improve the interior and exterior decoration, battery capacity, motor performance and autopilot kit. In terms of appearance, the new car will adopt a front face design similar to Model 3, and the LED headlights will be connected by light strips to form a unique penetrating effect, making the front of the car more concise. The side still maintains the classic shape of the coupe SUV, equipped with black double five-spoke wheels, while the tail is highlighted by the penetrating taillights.

According to Tesla’s past practice, before the new models go on the market, the old models usually launch discount promotions. At present, Tesla Model Y has launched a preferential activity of reducing the final payment by 10,000 yuan. For consumers who are ready to buy a car, it is necessary to carefully weigh whether to choose the old one or wait for the new one.

As for the six-seat Model Y, it is the first time Tesla has launched a six-seat model in the China market. However, Model Y, which is currently on sale, has a body length of only 4,750 mm and a wheelbase of 2,890 mm, and is an entry-level medium-sized SUV in the domestic market. If the six-seat Model Y forcibly adopts the three-row six-seat layout without lengthening the body, the legroom and ride comfort of the third row may be affected to some extent. Consumers need to expect this when purchasing.

The new model plan of Tesla’s Shanghai factory shows its continuous attention and investment in the domestic market, and it is expected that these two new models will bring more choices and better driving experience to consumers.

Tencent’s acquisition of Ocean Music has made it the market leader. Do you still have any fun with Netease Cloud Music?

On July 14th, according to The Wall Street Journal, Tencent has agreed to acquire Ocean Music. Tencent will acquire the controlling stake in Ocean Music by cash and asset injection, and the specific amount has not been announced. QQ music is mainly injected by means of asset injection, and Ocean Music will acquire the assets of QQ music. The deal values Ocean at about $2.7 billion, and Tencent Holdings will increase its stake in Ocean Music from 16% to about 60%.

The interface news asked Tencent and Ocean Music respectively, and neither side responded.

In the public view, Ocean Music Group is a slightly unfamiliar company. This music group was founded in April 2014. It owns music assets such as Cool Dog Music, Cool Me Music and Rainbow Music, as well as digital music copyright service companies such as Ocean Music and Source Music.

In March 2015, Xie Guomin, the founder of Ocean Music and former vice president of Sina, conducted the merger of Kuwo Music and Kugou Music, and with the accumulated user base of "Two Kus", it became the first echelon of online music in one fell swoop.

According to the data of Speedway Research, an online music market research institution, in the first quarter of 2016, before Tencent became a shareholder, Cool Dog Music and Cool Me Music accounted for more than 30% of the market share, while QQ Music accounted for 18.91%. Now, after Tencent buys Ocean, Tencent will occupy half of this market and become the leading enterprise in the online music market in China.

According to the Wall Street Journal, after the transaction is completed, Tencent’s music business will be valued at 6 billion US dollars, and the business will be operated as a subsidiary of Tencent Holdings.

According to market research firm iiMedia Research, in the first quarter of 2016, China’s mobile music service market had 449 million users, exceeding the population of the United States, which also made China the largest mobile music service market in the world.

In May 2016, it was reported that Ocean Music had been trying to go public in the United States, raising between 300 million and 600 million dollars, which was operated by Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley. However, because the US stock market is not optimistic about online music, the IPO of Ocean Music was once rumored to be stranded, and the global capital market is wary of music technology companies that are prone to losses.

Take Spotify as an example, as the representative of the global music streaming media platform, Spotify, which has been developing for nearly 10 years, is still on the financing road. Spotify has raised funds from 26 investment institutions. In March this year, Spotify just completed the ninth financing of $1 billion convertible bonds, and made several strict guarantees related to IPO to investors.

From the perspective of the global Internet music industry, only Pandora has successfully listed, and its share price has dropped from $70 at the peak to $13 today. When it went public in 2011, it raised $234 million. Last year, the IPO of the French music company Deezer was also postponed.

Analysts said that after Tencent’s shareholding, the merged company may be IPO; in the future; Compared with the original ocean music, the possibility of success will be higher; However, how to make money from streaming music will be the key factor to convince the capital side.

According to international federation of the phonographic industry (IFPI) data, China’s record music industry grew by 63.8% in 2015, making it the second largest contributor to growth after Japan. Last year, the output value of China’s record industry reached US$ 169 million, ranking 14th in the world. It can be said that the overall progress of the domestic music market has also provided imaginative growth space for China Internet music companies.

The competition layout of the giants in the music field has also intensified. On July 9, 2015, the National Copyright Administration issued the Notice on Ordering Online Music Service Providers to Stop Unauthorized Dissemination of Music (known as the "most restrictive order in history"), requiring online music service providers to stop unauthorized dissemination of music works, and ordering all music service providers to offline all unauthorized music works before July 31. The "most restrictive order" not only ended the "free era" of online music, but also made China’s online music industry gradually move towards the track of legalization, systematization and diversification, and the investment scale of major platforms in copyright was also increasing.

Ali Mutual Entertainment has shrimp and Tiantian Music, and Netease Cloud Music, a subsidiary of Netease, has also gained many fans. In Q1 2016, after Ali Music ranked QQ Music with 12.08% market share, Netease Cloud Music accounted for 3%.

The competition for copyright is also continuing, and obtaining the "sole broadcasting right" is an important way to circle the powder. According to the report "Insight into Online Music Market in China in 2015", among many music platforms, QQ music has taken the lead in breaking through ten million orders of magnitude in copyright, with obvious copyright advantages. What is certain is that after the completion of the shareholding, the advantages of Tencent Music will be further expanded.

Property management regulations in many places across the country have been promulgated, revised or solicited opinions-small property matters are major events of people’s livelihood.

The elevator is broken and nobody repairs it, the illegal building is left unattended, and the fire escape is occupied … In daily life, people often worry because the property problems in the community cannot be effectively solved. In order to get through the "blocking point", the regulations on property management in many places across the country have recently been promulgated, revised or solicited.

Local legislation provides a strong guarantee for standardizing property management and provides a good prescription for the rule of law to solve the "stubborn disease" of property. At the same time, property management is not only related to the interior of the community, but also the embodiment of mass autonomy and the important content of social governance. All sectors of society should make joint efforts and be more understanding and tolerant when solving problems.

Property disputes are varied.

"since the establishment of the industry Committee, the community has changed!" Chen Hansong, deputy director of the Industry Committee of Wangjing Lize Xiyuan District, Chaoyang District, Beijing, told reporters. She frowned when talking about the days before. "There is a problem inside the old property company, and the service is getting worse and worse. Owners are not satisfied with this, so they don’t pay property fees, so a vicious circle begins. At first, they provided some services, but later they did nothing and never quit. The aging of facilities and equipment such as elevators and pipelines in the community, garbage littering and public security problems have followed. "

In August 2016, with the assistance of the street office and the community, the first district of Wangjing Lize Xiyuan overcame many difficulties and established an industry committee. Owners have the opportunity to re-select property companies. "Now people in the community not only clean up the garbage, do greening, but also replace the old public facilities and install electronic monitoring. We are discussing how to manage the vehicles in the community. As long as everyone works hard together, the future of the community will be better! " Chen Hansong said.

In fact, not all communities have industry committees. The difficulty in establishing the industry committee and the low coverage rate is one of the shortcomings that restrict the improvement of China’s property management level. Taking Beijing as an example, the data shows that there are 10,213 residential quarters in Beijing, of which only 1,216 have established industry committees.

How to use special maintenance funds? How to divide the parking garage? Who will take care of such situations as pulling wires privately, making noise, illegally raising animals and renting houses, hanging objects falling off and throwing objects at high altitude? All kinds of "worries" and "troubles" plague the broad masses. Disputes over property fees and property service contracts are multifarious and common in daily life.

"My roof is leaking, the quality of the house is unqualified, and I refuse to pay the property fee." "I bought a house, but I didn’t decorate it and didn’t live in it. I didn’t enjoy the property service. Why should I pay the property fee?" When it comes to unqualified property services of some companies, owners are often indignant. It is undeniable that in the face of some unreasonable demands, property companies often have difficulties.

"This case impressed me deeply, from which I can realize that it is not easy to solve the property management problem." Bao Hua, a partner of Anli Law Firm, told the reporter that a developer and its subordinate property company had a conflict with the owners, and the owners hired a new property company by holding the owners’ meeting. However, since 2015, there have been many lawsuits around the property management right, including not only civil litigation, but also administrative litigation. Even though the government and the court have made a series of guiding opinions and judgments, the present situation has not been fundamentally improved.

Property management is difficult, why? According to Wang Conghu, a professor at the School of Public Administration of China Renmin University, there are many reasons. The uneven level of property companies and the poor service quality of some companies are the important reasons for the contradictions. The "inaction" and "chaos" of some functional departments have intensified contradictions to some extent. Coupled with the lack of trust and effective communication between owners and property companies, mutual suspicion is inevitable.

Liu Lihua, director of the Legal Department of Beijing Property Management Industry Association, believes that many owners are not enthusiastic about participating in community autonomy. In practice, there is a lack of effective supervision over the established owners’ organizations, and cases of members of the industry Committee abusing power for personal gain occur from time to time.

"The lack of legal publicity related to property management has led to misunderstanding of property management in all walks of life, and many people have a wrong understanding of the rights and obligations of owners and property companies." Liu Lihua said.

The masses have called for legislation.

"Small property" affects "great people’s livelihood". As an important symbol to measure the level of urban management, the quality of property management directly affects citizens’ sense of acquisition, happiness and security.

The masses have called for it, and legislation has responded. Recently, Shenzhen, Beijing, Chongqing and other places have successively implemented property management regulations, Chengdu, Guangzhou and other places have put the revision or formulation of property management regulations on the agenda, and Taizhou, Xining, Jiujiang, Hengshui and other places have also publicly solicited opinions on the city’s property management regulations.

Wang Rongmei, director of the Legislative Affairs Office of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People’s Congress, said that the promulgation of the Beijing Property Management Regulations will solve the property management problems and standardize the property management work according to law, and build a new pattern of grassroots governance in megacities with the characteristics of the capital.

The regulations mention that property management is incorporated into the community governance system. Liu Lihua believes that this is the most distinctive highlight. It is in line with the requirements of the new era to strengthen community governance and give play to the leading role of party building.

In view of the important role of the community in the prevention and control of the epidemic, the regulations have added provisions to deal with emergencies, and made it clear that street offices and township governments are responsible for guiding property service providers to carry out their work and giving them material and financial support.

What if there is no industry Committee? The regulations creatively proposed the establishment of a "property management Committee". The purpose of organizing owners to jointly decide on property management matters is to promote the emergence of industry committees. "The emergence of the property management meeting is in line with the needs of the current situation, which is conducive to the benign communication between the owners and the property companies and realizes the smooth transition and long-term development of the property management in the community." Zhang Yongqian, general manager of Great Wall Property Beijing Branch, said.

In order to balance the interests of all parties, the regulations stipulate that property fees should be adjusted by the market and adjusted in a timely manner. If the owner refuses to pay the property fee within the time limit, the property service provider may bring a lawsuit or apply for arbitration according to law. The court may, in accordance with the law, make a consumption restriction order against the owner who refuses to implement it and include it in the list of people who have lost their trust.

The regulations also put forward clear requirements for property companies, which increased their illegal costs. For example, property service providers should truthfully publicize and update the charging standards and methods of property services, strengthen inspections and maintenance of elevators and fire-fighting facilities, take necessary measures to prevent hanging objects from falling off, and dissuade or report uncivilized behaviors. If the property service provider refuses to quit after being dismissed, he will be fined 10,000 yuan per day from the day after the expiration of the specified time; If the owner fails to give priority to renting the parking garage, each illegally rented parking space can be fined up to 10,000 yuan.

Due to the lack of special maintenance funds, the maintenance and replacement of public facilities and equipment are often delayed for a long time. To this end, the regulations stipulate that when the balance of special maintenance funds is less than 30% of the initial amount raised, the owners’ organization shall promptly notify the owners to make up. In addition, more than 50% of public revenue should be supplemented first.

Giving the grass-roots part the power to enforce the law is a major feature. "Special authorization is made by Beijing on the basis of summing up long-term practical experience and has practical significance." Wang Conghu pointed out that the sinking of law enforcement power can alleviate the embarrassment of "those who have the right to enforce the law, but those who have the right to enforce the law are invisible" to a certain extent, which is a useful supplement to the law enforcement mechanism of "whistling in the streets and reporting to the departments".

In addition, the regulations also respond to other issues of public concern, such as comprehensive improvement of old communities, early property, emergency maintenance of out-of-control communities, and punishment for uncivilized behavior.

While embodying commonness, local regulations have their own characteristics in combination with reality.

The Regulations of Chongqing Municipality on Property Management refines the list of prohibited behaviors in property management areas, encourages the use of new technologies to facilitate property services, establishes a third-party evaluation system, and creates accommodation service specifications such as homestays.

The Regulations of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone on Property Management requires strengthening the supervision of owners’ joint funds and special maintenance funds, modifying the entry into force and voting threshold of owners’ meeting, lowering the election threshold of industry committees, and strengthening the supervision of industry committees.

Multi-party cooperation and implementation

The life of law lies in its implementation.

"The promulgation of the regulations is the first and most important step to improve the legal system of property management in Beijing." Bao Hua pointed out, but regulations alone are not enough.

"The key to landing is problem-oriented, and it is forced to be implemented by solving problems." Liu Lihua believes that we must first strengthen the construction of supporting systems. At present, many regulations are principled, and relevant departments need to introduce relevant supporting measures in time, so that the original intention of legislation can be implemented.

There are many property management projects involving a wide range, so it is necessary to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties. "It is essential for government departments, relevant institutions and organizations to perform their duties. Strengthen the training of staff and property practitioners organized by competent departments, streets, communities and owners to ensure their effective performance of their duties. At the same time, departments and personnel who are not in place are urged and accountable according to regulations. " Liu Lihua said that it is also necessary to give play to the role of industry associations and professional service organizations and promote the improvement of property management level with the help of all parties.

There are many and miscellaneous property disputes, so it is unrealistic to go through legal procedures. The Regulations of Beijing Municipality on Property Management mentions the establishment of a diversified dispute resolution mechanism consisting of people’s mediation, industry mediation, administrative mediation and judicial mediation. "This mechanism and its benign operation is an effective way to resolve contradictions. But at present, it is not enough for this mechanism to participate in solving residential property disputes. How to improve the mechanism and speed up the operation is the key. " Wang Conghu said.

It is indispensable to improve the service ability of property companies and supervise them. The company should concentrate on improving the service level and improving the satisfaction of the owners. In order to effectively assess and supervise property companies, people in the industry suggest to further quantify the property service indicators and update the current property service standards.

In addition, the publicity and education of owners can not be ignored. "Some owners have weak legal awareness, lack of contractual spirit, default on property fees for no reason, and act arbitrarily in the community." Wang Conghu believes that the regulations provide penalties for a variety of uncivilized behaviors. Strengthening publicity and education and improving the joint punishment mechanism of personal credit will help reduce the occurrence of the above behaviors.

Some experts said that in the process of implementing the regulations, we should also pay attention to possible new problems. For example, in the absence of an industry Committee, will the property management Committee continue to be "temporary"? Property service is essentially a civil legal relationship between owners and property service providers, and community governance adopts the administrative management mode of party Committee leadership, government leadership and multi-participation. Can property management take into account the interests of all parties after it is incorporated into community governance?

"In fact, property management is closely related to social governance and national governance." Wang Conghu said that property management is an important content of grass-roots social governance, and it is also an important embodiment of self-management and self-governance of the masses. An important basis for the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity is the self-governance of the masses.

"This job is not easy, sometimes it costs a lot, but there are still people who don’t understand. But I am still very happy to see that the community is getting cleaner and orderly every day. We now advocate party building, multi-party cooperation, and diligent communication and discussion. " An overview of Chen Hansong’s feelings after working in the industry committee for nearly 4 years.

Breaking the "chronic disease" of property is difficult for one party alone. In addition to abiding by laws, regulations and management regulations, everyone must sit down and negotiate when encountering disputes. At that time, we might as well complain and blame less and be more understanding and tolerant. (Reporter Shi Zhipeng)

Iraq’s Ahdab Oilfield Project-Making the concept of green development more deeply rooted in people’s hearts

  "We have prepared brochures for the villagers to introduce them to some environmental protection and safety knowledge, including how to prevent and treat hydrogen sulfide, protect underground pipelines in oil fields, prevent electric shock, and protect farmland." Abid said. At 9 o’clock in the morning, Iraqi boy Abid and Hussein came to the village near Alar Town, Kut City, Iraq to carry out environmental protection and safety knowledge publicity activities. As members of the Green Action Team of the Ahead Oil Field Project, they shoulder the responsibility of publicizing the concept of green environmental protection, coordinating community relations and ensuring safe production, and undertake the task of green and sustainable development of the Ahead Oil Field.

  Iraq’s Ahdab Oilfield Project, located in Kut, Wasit Province, 180 kilometers southeast of Baghdad, is the first foreign oil cooperation project in which China enterprises participated after the war in Iraq. In 1997, China Petroleum and Natural Gas Group Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "China Petroleum"), China Ordnance Industry Group Corporation and Iraqi Petroleum Marketing Company jointly established Oasis Petroleum Co., Ltd., which was responsible for the construction and development of Ahdab Oilfield. This project is the first project of China Petroleum in the Middle East. Affected by many factors, the project was restarted in November 2008 after being stranded for 12 years.

  Since its inception in 2009, the project team has adopted the world-leading patented technology of harmless treatment of waste mud to treat drilling and workover mud in oil fields, becoming the first oil field project built by an international oil company in Iraq, which integrates the treatment and production of oil, gas, water, electricity, liquefied petroleum gas and sulfur, with the most complicated treatment process and the most complete system. "The project insists on advanced treatment of acid waste gas to produce sulfur with a purity of over 99.99%, which greatly reduces the impact on the environment and benefits more than 1.4 million local people in Iraq, which is of great significance to the green environment construction in the oil region." Gong Changli, project leader, said.

  From 2009 to the end of 2022, the waste liquid and waste residue produced in the process of drilling and workover of 401 wells have been treated in a centralized and harmless way, and the accumulated investment has exceeded 60 million US dollars, which has created a precedent in the history of drilling and environmental protection in Iraq.

  In 2018, a Green Action Team was set up in Ahmedabad Oilfield, all of which were composed of Iraqi employees. It was responsible for publicizing the concept of green environmental protection, laws and regulations, safety production and other related knowledge to local people, collecting local people’s opinions and demands on the environment of the oil region, and further achieving the goal of environment-friendly development. At the beginning of February this year, some residents in the oil area reported the situation to the external operation coordination department of the oil field. The villagers were about to carry out channel dredging operations in the cultivated land area, fearing that they would encounter underground pipelines, and took the initiative to seek help from the oil field in advance. "After receiving the reflected situation, we rushed to the scene at the first time. After confirming the location of the underground pipeline, we contacted the ground engineers and technicians in time to guide the operation, and took pipeline protection measures to assist the local villagers to successfully complete the ditch dredging operation and avoid the phenomenon of destroying the underground pipeline." Abid said.

  "In addition to our daily work, we will also collect white garbage such as plastic bags and mineral water bottles in the oil area and send them to the garbage dumping station for centralized treatment." According to Abid, over the past five years, the Green Action Team has collected more than 360 vehicles of white garbage to keep the clean environment of the oilfield operation area, which has been well received by the local people.

  At the same time of oilfield development and construction, the project allocates special funds from oilfield operation funds every year as the construction funds of social public welfare projects, and carries out public welfare projects in the fields of medical care, transportation, education, sports, electric power facilities, etc., actively promoting local economic development and helping to improve the living standards of local people.

  By the end of February this year, the oil field had produced more than 61 million tons of crude oil, and all the oil and gas were exported normally, which created a stable and considerable economic income for Iraq, trained a large number of local young technical talents, created more than 5,000 direct or indirect employment opportunities for the local area, and helped local community residents to obtain sustainable development opportunities and improve their lives from the source, thus building a mutually beneficial and win-win development strategy. During the development and construction period, the project has driven many China engineering technology and construction service teams to enter the Iraqi market, and most of the oilfield equipment comes from China.

  Mohammad Jamir, governor of Wasit province where the oil field is located, said that the Ahdab oil field project has opened a new journey for Wasit province to become a modern industrial city, and the urban landscape has been greatly improved, with no potholes and dusty roads, and the concept of green development is more deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

  An article in Iraq’s "Tomorrow Daily" said that China Company contributed a lot to the post-war reconstruction of Iraq. "Iraq needs China, and Iraq and China must continue to strengthen cooperation in various fields, especially in the political and economic fields."

Be a good "regulator" of property service disputes

  All-Media Reporter Du Yang of Rule of Law Daily

  In 2020, a residential property management company in Beijing sued Gu, the owner of the residential area, to the court, demanding that Gu pay more than 90,000 yuan of property service fees and late fees from 2016 to 2019. During the trial, Song Tong, Gu’s attorney and executive director of Beijing Songtong Law Firm, combined with the evidence, proposed that the property service actually provided by the property company to Gu was lower than the standard agreed in the contract, and advocated reducing the property service fee. In addition, because the property company did not provide services as agreed in the contract, Gu did not maliciously default on the property fee, so there is no need to pay the late payment fee. In the end, the court decided to reduce the cost of a property service of more than 10 thousand yuan, and there is no need to pay late fees.

  At present, the masses have put forward higher demands and more expectations for property services, owners’ awareness of safeguarding rights according to law has been continuously enhanced, and disputes concerning the right to know and the price adjustment of property services have emerged constantly, showing a diversified and new trend.

  "Lawyers’ participation in solving property service disputes can not only promote rational communication between the parties and the court, but also promote the functional integration of mediation and adjudication, realize the diversion of cases in litigation procedures, effectively save judicial resources, and effectively resolve property service disputes at the source." Liu Jingkun, a professor at China University of Political Science and Law, told the reporter of Rule of Law Daily.

  With a clear legal basi

  Are the problems such as the occupation of residential green space and the illegal construction by owners belonging to the category of property management? What is the boundary of management? Hong Bijing, a lawyer of Fujian Sanshan Law Firm, told the reporter that the above problems were controversial in the past, and now lawyers can directly solve the disputes according to the management obligations of property service enterprises stipulated in Article 942 of the Civil Code.

  Bao Hua, a lawyer of Beijing Hairun Tianrui Law Firm, believes that there are many levels of legislation and a long time span in the field of property management. When lawyers intervene in related cases, they need to fully understand the legislative background and legislative purpose to carry out legal services.

  In recent years, at the national and local levels, many "good laws" related to property management have been promulgated one after another, further clarifying the rights and obligations between owners and property service enterprises and optimizing the "weapons" for lawyers to maintain fairness and justice.

  "For the first time, the Civil Code included the’ property service contract’ as a typical contract, and stipulated the conclusion, dissolution, termination and continued performance of the contract, which made up for some omissions in the past and played an important role in clarifying the boundaries of powers and responsibilities for all parties." Bao Hua said.

  Hong Bijing told reporters that with the publication of normative legal documents such as "Interpretation of the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in the Trial of Property Service Disputes", lawyers have a clearer legal basis when they participate in mediation of property service disputes.

  Effectively promote source dispute resolution

  "I don’t live in this house, why should I pay the property fee?" In December 2021, Yang, from Nanyu Town, Minhou County, Fujian Province, was sued by the property management company of a residential area for failing to pay the property service fee owed from March to August 2018 for a long time, and the late payment fee was more than 2,000 yuan.

  After Hong Bijing intervened in this case, on the one hand, he suggested that Yang pay the arrears of property fees, and on the other hand, considering the defects in the selection process of the property company, he coordinated the property company to reduce some fees. After many times of communication and coordination, the two sides reached an out-of-court settlement.

  At present, more and more lawyers are involved in the diversified mediation of property service disputes as legal experts, legal consultants and mediators, and have won the trust and recognition of the masses with their unique professional advantages and high-quality legal services, becoming a member of the social mediation pattern and playing an important role.

  "Before the property service dispute enters the court, the establishment of a professional mediation mechanism involving lawyers can help the parties to clarify their legal responsibilities, clarify their respective rights and obligations, and promote the proper settlement of disputes." Liu Jingkun believes that for the court, with the help of the litigation source governance mechanism in which lawyers intervene in advance, the background of the case and the actual demands of the parties can be more clearly understood, and then the dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation and adjudication can be more effectively integrated to ensure the legal and social effects of case handling.

  "At present, all localities are using the power of lawyers to optimize the property service dispute resolution mechanism, and the role of lawyers involved in property service disputes and the ways to resolve disputes are gradually diversified." Bao Hua said that this requires lawyers not only to have a dual perspective of paying attention to the plaintiff and the defendant, but also to have the ability to clearly distinguish the boundaries of rights and responsibilities of owners, governments and managers, and to understand the practical operation in the field of property management, so as to propose a feasible mediation plan.

  Song Tong said that while lawyers participate in resolving contradictions and disputes, they will also have more understanding and thinking about legal issues related to property service disputes, which is another virtuous circle.

  "Lawyers are the’ regulators’ of property service disputes. Even if lawyers are involved, they may not be able to completely resolve contradictions and disputes, but in most cases, they can effectively avoid the escalation of contradictions and disputes." Hong Bijing added.

  "Lawyers’ participation in the mediation and handling of property service disputes will help promote the establishment of a system of property management institutions." Liu Jingkun said that lawyers can give full play to their professional advantages, so that property management agencies can find the weak links in daily management in time, and then establish and improve relevant systems in a targeted manner to reduce the occurrence of property service disputes from the source.

  Continuously improve the service level

  "Thank you for your participation, so that the election norms of the industry committees can proceed smoothly."

  In July 2021, the election of the owners’ committee was held in Shangjingyuan Community, Jiang Hao, Shanggan Town, Minhou County. Hong Bijing and his team of lawyers assisted as legal advisers of the town government, and they put forward perfect opinions and suggestions, which were well received by the owners.

  In Hong Bijing’s view, lawyers can also optimize the source governance of property service disputes by helping the rule of law. "By participating in the election of the owners’ committee, providing corresponding legal advice and guidance, and promptly educating the owners about the rule of law related to property management, the fairness and justice of the election are ensured, and the rule of law literacy of the owners is also improved, so as to better prevent the occurrence of property service disputes from the source." Hong Bijing said.

  "In the process of drafting property service contracts, formulating and implementing government policies, lawyers can play more roles and achieve better linkage with government departments and property companies." Song Tong told reporters that lawyers’ participation in the drafting of property service contracts and supervision of the performance of property service contracts will enable lawyers to have a more intuitive and comprehensive understanding when receiving feedback from the masses and achieve better solutions.

  Bao Hua believes that the level of resolving property service disputes reflects the level of social governance to a certain extent, so lawyers should not only have legal knowledge and practical experience in property management, but also have knowledge and experience in community governance, so as to strengthen the social effect of mediating property service disputes.

  "We should encourage and guide more lawyers to participate in the mediation of property service disputes." Liu Jingkun suggested that relevant departments should establish a special working mechanism. For common types of property service disputes, we can consider setting up a working procedure for lawyers to participate in mediation to improve the effectiveness of mediation.
