E-cigarette products on the shelves in Los Angeles, USA. Xinhua news agency

　　Regulatory measures against e-cigarettes have been upgraded again — — Recently, the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and the State Administration of Market Supervision issued a circular requesting that e-cigarettes should not be sold to minors, nor should e-cigarettes be sold through the Internet, nor should e-cigarette advertisements be published through the Internet.

　　Appear in a "healthy" appearance, but become the "first cigarette" for young people to become smokers — — For some time, electronic cigarettes, which are popular all over the world, have aroused vigilance and strict control in all countries. It is urgent to include e-cigarettes in the scope of tobacco control and prevent them from spreading to minors.

　　Not "healthy and harmless"

　　"Many friends around me are smoking. It is said that e-cigarettes are healthier, so I also tried." Zi Huan (a pseudonym), a 17-year-old high school student, came into contact with e-cigarettes for the first time because of the strong recommendation of his friends. He was originally resistant to cigarettes, but now he has become a small smoker who never leaves his hand.

　　E-cigarette is a special tobacco product, which generally consists of smoking utensils and cigarette oil. At present, the mainstream electronic cigarette in China, its cigarette oil is mainly made of nicotine, and nicotine and various additives are atomized by electronic smoking sets for consumers to smoke.

　　The reporter’s investigation found that many users of e-cigarettes said that they only "entered the hand" after seeing advertisements such as "can help quit smoking" and "healthy and harmless". The Report on E-cigarette Industry Supervision (2019) issued by Tsinghua University Public Health and Technology Supervision Research Group also points out that 95% of e-cigarette retail websites associate e-cigarettes with health and cleanliness, and 89% of online stores publicize health-related benefits.

　　This is not the case. The latest "Global Tobacco Epidemic Report 2019" released by the World Health Organization pointed out that e-cigarettes are "undoubtedly harmful", not only nicotine, but also other harmful substances, and the long-term impact on health is still unclear; There is not enough evidence that e-cigarettes help to quit smoking.

　　The relevant person in charge of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau also said that many e-cigarette companies mislead consumers with propaganda that goes against objective facts, such as "helping to quit smoking" and "being healthy and harmless", but most e-cigarettes are very arbitrary in raw material selection, additive use, process design and quality control, and there are serious quality and safety hazards such as unsafe ingredients, cigarette oil leakage and inferior batteries.

　　Experts point out that nicotine will seriously harm the nervous system of teenagers, and e-cigarettes "wear beautiful coats" to lure teenagers to smoke, which leads them to unconsciously become addicted to cigarettes and even have a great possibility of contacting traditional cigarettes. This trend is undoubtedly worrying.

　　Aim at young people

　　Although the notice has been issued for several days, the reporter found on Taobao, JD.COM and other e-commerce platforms that there are still many brands of e-cigarettes selling normally. Although the goods are clearly marked "E-cigarettes are forbidden for minors", the purchase process is not verified and minors can easily buy them.

　　At the same time, in the e-cigarette advertisements of the above-mentioned e-commerce platforms, there are frequent pictures of young people holding and smoking e-cigarettes, accompanied by text descriptions such as "it is good to smoke" and "natural harm reduction". In addition, these advertisements also implicitly reveal that e-cigarettes are not harmful to second-hand smoke and can improve the number of conversations among young people.

　　In this regard, the aforementioned Tsinghua University’s research report also pointed out that in advertising marketing, e-cigarettes are symbolized as consumer goods of the upper class, and represent independent personality and lifestyle. In cultural products, especially TV series and MV, e-cigarettes are associated with cheerful, relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

　　Relevant data is worthy of vigilance. In May 2019, the survey results released by China Center for Disease Control and Prevention showed that the people who used e-cigarettes were mainly young people, 15-mdash; The use rate of e-cigarettes in the 24-year-old group is 1.5%; The main way to obtain e-cigarettes is the internet; The proportion of people who have heard of e-cigarettes, used e-cigarettes and now use them has increased.

　　The reporter found on video platforms such as bilibili that there are many e-cigarette product evaluation and fancy smoke teaching videos, and many netizens exchanged their experiences and feelings in using e-cigarettes in video comments.

　　In addition to publicity and promotion, due to the lack of standards, the quality problem of e-cigarettes is equally prominent.

　　Mao Qun An, director of the Planning Department of National Health Commission, said that many e-cigarette products contain vague labels of nicotine concentration, which may easily lead to excessive consumption by users. At the same time, there are also safety risks such as battery explosion, smoke liquid penetration, high temperature burns and so on.

　　Strengthen supervision measures

　　Last August, the State Administration of Market Supervision and the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau jointly issued a circular explicitly prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. The latest measures have highlighted the strict requirements for Internet sales and promotion of e-cigarettes.

　　The circular requires that all kinds of market entities should not sell e-cigarettes to minors; Enterprises or individuals producing and selling e-cigarettes are urged to close e-cigarette Internet sales websites or clients in time, e-commerce platforms close e-cigarette shops and take off e-cigarette products in time, and enterprises or individuals producing and selling e-cigarettes withdraw e-cigarette advertisements published through the Internet.

　　At present, many countries in the world have completely banned or strictly restricted the sale of e-cigarettes, and more than 40 countries or regions have explicitly legislated or officially announced the ban on the sale of e-cigarettes.

　　In China, since this year, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other places have also revised the tobacco control regulations to include e-cigarettes in the scope of tobacco control: Shenzhen has clearly expanded the concept of "smoking" to use e-cigarettes and hold other tobacco products that are ignited or heated without burning; Chengdu also explicitly includes smoking electronic cigarettes in smoking behavior, and clearly stipulates that tobacco product operators are prohibited from selling tobacco products to minors; In its rail transit passenger code, Beijing has supplemented the prohibition of smoking electronic cigarettes … …

　　After the unrestrained barbaric growth, e-cigarettes are gradually fading away from the "electronic" stunt, highlighting its "smoke" nature. Yang Tingzhong, director and professor of Tobacco Control Research Center of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, believes that e-cigarettes should not have special status, but should be included in the restrictions of ordinary tobacco, and should be restricted in advertising, marketing and consumption places.

　　In this regard, many experts in the industry have called on the state to increase the research on e-cigarettes, introduce more comprehensive and detailed regulatory measures, and strengthen the protection of minors.

　　Multi-countries strictly control electronic cigarettes

　　■ USA

　　The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that the cumulative number of deaths from lung diseases with unknown etiology and possible association with e-cigarettes has increased to 34. At present, Massachusetts has announced that it will suspend the sale of all electronic cigarette products and electronic cigarette devices, while New York prohibits the sale of scented electronic cigarettes.

　　■ India

　　The Indian government decided that e-cigarettes have reached "popularity" among young people and issued a ban on e-cigarettes in September this year. Those who violate the ban for the first time may be fined about $1,400 or imprisoned for one year, or both, while those who violate it for many times may face up to three years’ imprisonment and a fine of nearly $7,000. The Indian government believes that e-cigarettes are harmful to health and may damage the government’s tobacco control efforts.

　　■ Japan

　　Organizers of Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games announced in February this year that this Olympic Games and Paralympic Games will bid farewell to tobacco products and its derivative substitute "e-cigarette" completely. From this summer, schools, hospitals and government agencies in Tokyo will be banned from smoking indoors; From April next year, restaurants, bars, hotels and other business places will be banned in general, and smoking areas can still be designated.

　　■ Korea

　　South Korea’s Ministry of Health and Welfare recently advised people to stop using atomized e-cigarettes and promised to determine whether the sale of e-cigarettes should be banned as soon as possible. The person in charge of the country’s health department said, "Children, teenagers, pregnant women and patients with lung diseases should never use atomized e-cigarettes." According to Korean government data, as of June this year, e-cigarettes accounted for 13% of the sales in the Korean tobacco market.

　　■ Turkey

　　Turkish President Erdogan said recently that e-cigarette enterprises are not allowed to produce in Turkey, calling on Turks to "replace cigarettes with tea". In 2013, the Turkish government banned all alcohol and tobacco products from advertising, promotion and sponsorship.

Producer 500, director Buick accepted an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network.

Special feature of 1905 film network In director Buick’s mind, the film can be better, because many of the original contents of the script were taken away by him because of the length of time.

　

Then, in his view, how many points can this version of "Door Lock" with still guaranteed standards have? With this curiosity, we walked into his various responses to Door Lock.

　

Stills of "Door Lock"

Since the release of the film "Door Lock", the evaluation has its own controversy. As a movie, this is the norm. Whether it’s producer 500 or director Buick, it’s already predicted.

　

In the eyes of 500, this controversy happens to be the charm of Buick as a new director. He has all the courage of young people, and he also has insufficient experience in directing a tube.

　

No matter what the audience’s recognition of the essence of the film is, we can pay attention to the security situation of women living alone from "Door Lock", and perhaps this film has been successful. As Bai Baihe said at the premiere, attention itself is a kind of strength.

01　create

After Buick won the Best College Student Short Film Award in the 8th China International New Media Short Film Festival with the short film "Salvation", he received many scripts.

Director Buick accepted an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network.

Without exception, these scripts are mostly remakes of suspense themes. In addition to "Door Lock", what impressed him deeply was a work related to the escape of the Chamber of Secrets.

The theme of suspense and horror is Buick’s preferred style. Even in the short film "Salvation" with the theme of war, we can also gain insight into his ability to control this type.　

　

If we simply want to make the suspense type to the extreme in form, then the story of the escape from the Chamber of Secrets can already be supported, but from the content level, there is still something missing as a whole. At the suggestion of 500, and combined with his own experience, Buick finally chose "Door Lock".

Five hundred was the judge of the short film award at that time. In his eyes, this new director is very special, and he has wildness that other domestic directors don’t have. If possible, two people can make a big ticket together.

　

Producer 500 accepts an exclusive interview with 1905 film network

However, Buick only has short film experience, from short to long, which is not simple. He knows that he needs a springboard, and 500 knows that this "dumb-headed" needs more practical experience in order to better shoot feature films.

　

Five hundred handed Buick the book of the series aiming. After watching it, Buick was poked by the very cinematic narrative of the previous episodes, and then took it down. However, commercial works are no better than students’ short films, and each type of work corresponds to different staff. Directors also need to have stronger leadership and external communication skills.

　

During the filming of Aiming, 500 made Buick more immersed in creative work. But when it came to "Door Lock", he really "pushed" Buick out.

　

As a producer, 500 gave Buick a lot of advice in the early stage of script creation. The script was read over and over again, and then the shortcomings were found in the middle to fill this gap. As a new director, Buick hopes to highlight his own style to the extreme in this work.

Five hundred rejected the idea. "There is still some life-oriented content in this movie to touch the more emotional places of the audience."

　

During the whole preparatory stage, Buick will have his own anxiety, and he will fall into a strange circle — — Why are these things different from what you think?

Five hundred told him, "The farthest distance between people is’ I thought’". In the communication between the crew, we must not simply use abstract words such as texture to describe it, but must form more specific words or pictures so that the crew can understand it.

　

Combining these valuable experiences, the script was also changed to a more satisfactory version, and Door Lock was formally established and started in Xiamen in September 2020.

　

02　"hiding the murderer"

When Buick got the script, it had made some adjustments compared with the original story, but in their view, these adjustments were far from enough, especially where suspense was hidden.

　

Do you want to hide? How to hide it?

The most curious thing about "Door Lock" is the identity of the man in black. For suspense movies, decryption is something that the audience can’t wait to do in the process of watching movies. If the identity of the man in black is put at the end, but the audience guesses it in advance, the whole mystery laid in the early stage will become very embarrassing.

　

"You should never think that you are smarter than the audience. Now the audience is too smart. The more you hide, the more self-defeating. In this case, it is better not to hide. " Five hundred, who is quite experienced in suspense subjects, gives his own bottom in his creation.

　

Buick also found a creative idea. "I don’t want to make a pure suspense film. The murderer is not the key issue, but the female issue is."

　

After the problem of "hiding the murderer" was solved, Buick’s creation also took shape. For example, in the subway, Fang Hui (played by Bai Baihe) and Qiao Xiaoman (played by Qiao Xiaoman) have a more definite place.

Even so, in the process of creation, 500 and Buick still had some disputes.

Five hundred told Buick that Fang Hui and the boss must be filmed in the movie. But in Buick’s view, it is not necessary. If there is already a scene in the movie where Fang Hui is harassed in the office in order to show the weakness of women in the workplace, then the drama of the wine bureau is very cumbersome.

　

"Door Lock is about women’s independence. She is not only in the office, but also in all aspects of life. Then the wine bureau is an essential drama, and this is also a place where the audience can be more empathetic." Of course, 500 did not strongly ask Buick to add this content. "You can shoot it first, and then deal with it when editing."

　

Finally, in the editing stage, there were two versions as a whole; One is more life-oriented, and the other is more typed. From the perspective of genre preference and lens design during shooting, Buick is not satisfied with the life-oriented version, but he understands that "Door Lock" is to let the audience pay attention to women’s safety issues, so pure genre expression will weaken its power.

　

Combined with the story of life flow and stylized type expression, in Buick’s view, the most complete version of "Door Lock" should be two and a half hours. "The story should be one thing that Fang Hui experiences every day, which slowly accumulates and finally erupts." However, this version does not meet the requirements of a genre film, which is not conducive to the audience’s impression and the cinema’s film arrangement.

　

Recalling the entanglement in the editing, Buick did not forget to reflect. "These problems can actually be avoided from the script stage. If the plot is set in place reasonably, there will not be so many plot pictures that cannot be abandoned during the editing process."

　

03　cut down

"If you follow my script, it is actually particularly suitable for processing into a mini-drama with three or four episodes, and each character will have a good display." However, as a film, "Door Lock" must be cut by Buick.

　

In the original version of Door Lock, the opening was as long as 15 minutes. In the view of 500, this paragraph can be presented to the audience as a short film in the form of a pilot notice.

"There is actually her ex-boyfriend in front of the story, from the girl going home to meeting her ex-boyfriend, including the atmosphere in the corridor. Moreover, in that kind of old building, when you open the door, you may hear a cough upstairs. These thoughtful and fearful things have all been written in by me. And in that story, there are still some conversations between her and her ex-boyfriend, which explain the background of many characters. "

　

Buick read a lot of news information and combined with his own experience to create this story. Including the opening, many viewers will be curious, why do men in black lie on the top of the wardrobe? "These are not my whimsical creations, but there are cases that can be studied in reality."

　

In addition, in the story line of the dog farm at the end of the film, there is also a very important scene, which was deleted for the sake of time. This also indirectly led to the current audience’s controversy over the plot in the second half of the film.

　

"It was a self-help drama of Fang Hui, and the whole narrative was edited in parallel from the perspectives of Fang Hui and Zheng Fei (played). Fang Hui was in a coma and remembered Qiao Xiaoman’s saying in the subway,’ Hold on, hold on, that’s how you were domesticated’. Then she slowly woke up and saw the door next to her closed and two dogs. She used the coma medicine left by Zheng Fei, and injected it into the sausage. As a result, a dog died directly after eating it. Then she directly pulled the main switch and the electronic door next to it opened. She found Qiao Xiaoman and pulled her up. Another dog ran after them. Although she passed the first door, she finally got stuck at the second door. At this time, Zheng Fei came back. Zheng Fei saw everything in front of him, and there was a line,’ Why did you kill my dog?’ "

　

In the original play, there are women’s self-help and the mutual help of "girl helps girl", and at the same time, it can let the audience see the emotional changes of the role of Zheng Fei in the later stage of madness.

　

Buick excitedly revealed these cuts to us, but he couldn’t help sighing that they were all caused by inexperience. "The next play will pay attention to these contents from the script stage."

　

04　Fei Zheng

Without the support of these stories, the audience have a better question about the role of Zheng Fei, and why he became such a person.

　

In Buick’s creation, Zheng Fei has a prototype.

　

"Why is his name Jeffrey? In fact, this man is a notorious pervert murderer in the United States. He is very similar to the situation in Zheng Fei. Their external images look good, but in the end, they are found to be very dark inside, and even do a lot of unsightly things. I remember the documentary at that time asked Jeffrey, saying that you have good conditions and good looks, why can’t you fall in love with people normally? The reason for his answer is’ because I want to’. The simple answer is that we can’t think with the logic of normal people at all. They pursue absolute control and must do things according to their wishes, which is the same as Zheng Fei’s strong desire for control. "

　

It is based on this idea that Buick insisted on retaining the dialogue between Zheng Fei and Fang Hui in the car during the deletion process. "In addition to explaining the background of the characters, this scene actually implies Fang Hui, and she has no right to know it. If you want to break this paper, it will be finished."

　

Although the audience will have a lot of questions and make the film controversial after the deletion of "Door Lock", in Buick’s view, this may be the deficiency of being a new director, and it is also a place to make up for it in the future.

　

As for "Door Lock", how many points do you give?

Buick said 70 points.

Shortly after the Harley Flat Tracker-style small-row retro X350 was listed in China, spy photos of new car development and testing came from overseas. Surprisingly, this time it was still a small-row model, but this time it moved to India. Like Qianjiang in China, Harley’s strategic partner in India is Hero, a local motorcycle giant. It was also a long time ago that the small platoon plan came out. It seems that Harley is gradually fulfilling its vision made in that year.

Although the picture has been processed, the general appearance and details of the new car have been exposed, which is similar to the domestic X350. Instead of adopting the Prince Cruise style that Harley is good at, it tends to be similar to the new sports retro street cars such as Honda CB300R and Huvana Black Arrow 401. In addition to the retro elements of the round lamp, the round watch and the round rearview mirror, the fuel tank with three-dimensional ridgelines, the shock absorption before inversion, the fender integrated at the rear of the car and the license plate frame all adopt the elements of the modern sports street car.

From the HD 4XX displayed on the rear number plate, we can preliminarily judge its model code and displacement. Foreign media speculated that the power of the new car may be a 420cc single-cylinder air-oil cooled engine, and the maximum horsepower is expected to exceed 30 horsepower. Compared with the local retro cars such as Jiawa 300, Royal enfield 350 and Honda H’ness CB350, the performance is still relatively strong.

There are many details on the new car, such as LED headlights with lenses and daytime running lights, TFT multi-function instruments, front and rear disc brakes, double piston calipers, ABS anti-lock braking system, 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels at the front 18 and rear, 140/70 tires at the front 100/90, double guns and rear shock absorption, etc. At present, the first exposure of India’s Harley HD420 has reached a high degree of completion, and the next time you see it, you may have color spy photos and power parameters. Harley is also very concerned about playing with small displacement. There is also a 500cc queue in China. The key is that their prices will not be as expensive as traditional Harley. Like motorcycle information, pay attention to Lao Kai, like comments, collect and share!

　　[Evaluation] It has always played an important role in the market segment of sports compact cars. After the new generation of imported 3 landed in China for more than a year, the domestic version of the car was finally officially listed. This generation of Mazda 3, named Xingyi, is obviously a heavyweight role in this year’s compact car market. After domestic production, can the light and agile driving style of the original imported hatchback be passed down? The following test report will tell you the answer.

● Daily driving experience: Power is not a strong point, and the gearbox is excellent.

　　Power is undoubtedly an important indicator to measure a sports car, which naturally seems a bit behind the trend against the background of T-belt models. The 2.0L top model we tested is still equipped with the familiar Mazda MZR, with a maximum output of 110kW(150 HP)/6,500 rpm and a maximum output of 182 N m/4,500 rpm. It adopts the DOHC overhead double camshaft all-aluminum cylinder structure, and is still equipped with Mazda’s unique S-VT (sequential timing system), VIS (variable system) and electronic control section.

　　However, from the perspective of daily driving, the performance of this 2.0L engine is still very satisfactory. The throttle is still the light feeling of Japanese cars. The engine is slightly gentle at low speed, but fortunately, the engine responds quickly enough to the accelerator pedal. At around 3000rpm, the power can cope with ordinary daily road conditions.

　　When the rotation speed exceeds 4000 rpm, the engine is the real power point, and the continuous torque output can be maintained at about 6000rpm. At high speed, the sound waves of the engine are tuned very sweetly. Coupled with the barrel-shaped instrument panel in front of us and the sports steering wheel on the hand, the sports atmosphere brought by the senses has been put in place.

　　Matching it is a 5-speed automatic manual transmission, which increases a gear compared with the previous generation; "Understanding" is the most obvious advantage of this 5AT. You can easily control the upshift and downshift through the depth of the throttle. Although the response of the gearbox will be slightly hesitant at this time, the smoothness of shifting will not make you complain.

　　The shift paddle under the steering wheel allows you to downshift at any time. At this time, the shift is also crisp and neat, without any sloppiness. Sometimes the number of gears can’t measure the quality of a transmission. Compared with some 6AT gearboxes, the performance of this 5AT gearbox is enough to meet the small intense driving demand.

　　It is worth mentioning that, although in the D gear state, you can complete the downshift through the shift paddle, once you slightly loosen the throttle, the gearbox will quickly enter the automatic mode; Only when the gearbox lever is turned to the left to enter the pure manual mode will the gearbox fully obey your instructions.

　　Mazda 3 Star, which is made in Mazda, completely continues the powertrain of the imported hatchback version. The 2.0L model has a 5-speed automatic manual transmission and 6-speed two different combinations. Obviously, the two models are aimed at different groups of people. The 6MT gearbox with tight gear ratio is undoubtedly specially prepared for those who are keen on modification, while the 5AT model is more oriented to those fashionable young elites.

　
The structure is similar to that of the previous generation.

　　As a replacement model, Mazda’s 3-star and suspension structure has not changed much compared with the previous generation model, which was highly praised for its handling. Does this mean that its handling and suspension have not improved? After a few days of testing, I also have the answer in my heart. More interesting suspension and control are the biggest selling points of this generation of Mazda 3.

　　Mazda 3 Star has basically continued the front and rear suspension structure of the previous generation model, only slightly improved the rubber bushing, the front and rear stabilizer bar and the rear suspension center beam, but the overall adjustment style is more radical than that of the previous generation model.

　　The suspension stroke is very short. With the help of the shock absorber, the four tires can always hold the ground, and the vehicle can naturally have a higher limit in the corner. Compared with the imported version, the stiffness of the suspension has converged, but it can still provide sufficient support when cornering, and the comfort has also improved when passing through some deceleration hurdles or large road undulations, so that passengers sitting in the back row will not be too painful to "bump".

　　The steering of SINOVA is my favorite. The compact steering wheel is very handy, and the electric feel and feedback are very comfortable. Every movement you make on the steering wheel will be directly and accurately responded by the car body. What is commendable is that the steering wheel used has not lost the sense of road, and the information on the road can still be directly transmitted to the driver through the steering wheel. In addition, the feeling of braking is also very good, the braking force is very linear, and there are not many empty positions in the front section, which can give people more confidence in corners.

In the trend of pursuing convenience and environmental protection, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is undoubtedly a dazzling star. This miniature pure electric vehicle is designed to shuttle on the highway to meet the needs of urban travel. Its power system is driven by a rear-mounted motor, which has strong rear-wheel driving force, the maximum power is 20kW, and the torque reaches 85Nm.

Hong Guang MINI EV has a compact body size, with a wheelbase of 1940mm, a length, width and height of 2917mm, 1493mm and 1621mm respectively, which makes it move freely in the city. In order to optimize the space utilization ratio, its rear suspension adopts non-independent design, which can not only expand the space of passenger compartment and trunk, but also reduce the manufacturing cost, help maintain the people-friendly price strategy, and thus enhance the market competitiveness.

Different from internal combustion engine vehicles, the advantages of pure electric vehicles lie in the quietness and high efficiency of their motors. On stop-and-go urban roads, the torque output mode of MINI EV enables it to exert powerful power at low speed without reaching high speed. This feature makes it particularly suitable for urban travel.

Generally speaking, Wuling Hongguang MINI EV is not only suitable for driving on urban expressways, but also provides drivers with a unique driving experience because of its small size, economy and environmental protection. It proves the potential and value of small electric vehicles with practical actions.
