　　"WU GANG’s acting is so good, why is it not red?" The audience who once asked questions on the Internet should be very pleased now: WU GANG became an expression pack overnight with the role of "Secretary Dakang" in the anti-corruption drama in the name of people. When interviewed by reporter WeChat yesterday, the strength faction mentioned that the enthusiasm of netizens was both surprised and happy: "Nowadays, netizens are really amazing, especially thanks to netizens."

　　"Secretary Dakang" teaches you to act.

　　After "in the name of people" became popular, a group of officials in Handong Province became the favorite "Handong Boys" of the audience, and the most popular among the "Handong Boys" belonged to Dakang Li, secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee played by WU GANG. At first, he was guessed as a bad guy by some viewers. After ten episodes, everyone found that he had a wife’s pit inside, subordinates’ secrets outside, debts left by his predecessor, and colleagues’ stepping on him. He was also devoted to the GDP of Jingzhou, which was simply a tragic "back-pot man" and made everyone feel bad. The audience was also divided into two groups: "Secretary Dakang" and "Secretary Yuliang", and they started a fan war in a serious way, turning Secretary Dakang and his expression pack into a hot search — — Who would have thought that anti-corruption drama had such a way of looking after it?

　　In fact, Dakang Li didn’t play an important role in the original work. Most of the credit for the popularity of "Secretary Dakang" lies in WU GANG’s interpretation and play. WU GANG said frankly: "It’s also quite uneasy to take on this play, playing a party secretary. We have never seen this person. I will search Baidu for many videos of leaders at all levels. If people’s gestures may help me, I will keep them in mind and may be useful in filming. " He grasped the details to shape the characters. "I hope the audience will say that I know this person, just like the people next door to our house, and he has a sense of closeness." First of all, I think this character has to be human. He has worldly desires, so he has to eat. When he is hungry, he has to poke wildly. When he is in a hurry, he also swears. In fact, people are like this. "

　　The most important point is to recite the lines. "The biggest secret is to read the script well. When the script is very familiar, you will know what the other party is and what you want to do. I must be familiar with this level, so that when you say your lines, it is vivid and subconscious. " Remember the undercover documentary of Hengdian written by screenwriter Song Fangjin not long ago? Young actors, learn.

　　Thanks to netizens for making emoticons.

　　Lu Qiaoshan in Latent and Lu Zilin &hellip in White Deer Plain; … Like every role in the past, WU GANG did his part as an actor, but the popularity of "Secretary Dakang" was beyond his expectation. "I never thought of this character, and this Dakang Li could become online celebrity." He responded to the concerns of netizens one by one. "In fact, they are not right, it should be three eyelids! My parents gave it to me. This can’t be changed. Everyone says this hand looks good, but I didn’t find it. Later, they took screenshots and saw, hey, I think it’s not bad, thanks to my parents. "

　　He thanked the netizens for their emoticons. "Nowadays, netizens are really amazing, and their tastes are extremely high. I’m especially grateful to these netizens. They really made great efforts to cut this photo frame by frame and put all the expressions of Dakang Li together on the Internet. Everyone enjoys this character together, and I think this is the greatest compliment to a person. In fact, I think everyone likes him because of his openness, persistence and simplicity. " Reporter Wang Huichun

American market

American market August 30, 2021 — On September 4 th, in the best-selling list of iOS games, "The Original God" dominated the list.

Indian market

Indian market August 30, 2021 — On September 4th, in the best-selling list of iOS games, PUBG MOBILE India Edition, SEA《Free Fire and tencent games’s Call of Duty Mobile Games launched a fierce competition around "India is the first brother to eat chicken mobile games".

In fact, this is quite different from the performance of PUBG MOBILE India Edition. To some extent, in the same category, the products that enter the market first will definitely have the advantages of user base and usage habits.

Even if PUBG MOBILE India Edition has the support of "invisible hand", it is difficult to "cover the sky with one hand".

Data-Eye data shows that casual games occupy all the positions of Top10 in the buying list from August 30th to September 5th.

Compared with last week, although Beijing Zhanxin Power "Paradise 233" is still at the top of the buying list, the amount of materials released this week has dropped by 50% to 31,413 groups, compared with 68,993 groups in the same period last week.

In addition, from the perspective of product types, most products in the Top10 list are "leisure+online earning" types.

Since the State Press and Publication Administration released the game version number on July 22nd, no new version number information has been published recently.

According to competitive statistics, as of September 5, 2021, a total of 755 game version numbers were issued. Among them, there are 679 domestic game versions and 76 imported game versions.

Specifically, Tencent, Netease, ByteDance and Aauto Quicker were issued with version numbers in 2021, which were 13, 11, 2 and 3 respectively.

It is worth mentioning that on September 3, the State Council issued a notice on several measures to promote the reform and innovation of trade and investment facilitation in the Pilot Free Trade Zone, in which Article 16, "Piloting the territorial management of online games", pointed out that the Central Propaganda Department will be responsible for promoting the online game audit pilot work in the location of the eligible Pilot Free Trade Zone.

In fact, the idea of "launching a pilot project of territorial management of online games" has been put forward many times this year. For example, on April 8, the Ministry of Commerce of the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Opinions on Several Special Measures to Support the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port and Relax Market Access, and on April 21, the Ministry of Commerce issued the Overall Plan for the Comprehensive Pilot of Expanding and Opening up the Service Industry in Hainan Province, all of which advocated Hainan to deepen the pilot work of reviewing the content of local online games.

In addition, on April 21st, in the notice of the Ministry of Commerce on printing and distributing the "Overall Plan for the Comprehensive Pilot Project of Expanding and Opening up the Service Industry in Chongqing", it also mentioned "supporting Chongqing to actively create conditions to apply for the pilot project of reviewing the content of local online games".

Since 2018, the version number policy has been tightened in an all-round way, and the version number has been extremely strict. Hainan and Chongqing are expected to become new network audit pilots, and may be improved.

It must be pointed out that considering the recent "uninsured" incidents, Jinghe believes that the increase in pilot projects does not mean that the approval will be relaxed, or even stricter. For example, no new version number was issued in August 2021, which also explained some problems.

　　Chongqing morning post reporter Liu Bo reports.

　　Is natural mineral water really natural and pollution-free? The more expensive the mineral water, the better the quality? Recently, chongqing morning post, together with Consumer Report magazine, sent 12 kinds of packaged drinking water of 10 brands to an authoritative third-party testing agency for inspection.

　　Among them, there are 7 kinds of natural mineral water including Nongfu Spring, Kunlun Mountain, 5100 Tibet Glacier, Jingtian Baisui Mountain, Uni-President alkaqua, France perrier, Danone Yili, 4 kinds of infant water including Nongfu Spring, Jurassic, Bay Blue and Santa Anna, and one kind of natural water of Nongfu Spring.

　　We will tell you that the quality of mineral water is not directly proportional to the selling price by comparing the results of N1 index, TOC, total phosphorus, sodium, taste index and total number of colonies.

　　Evaluation report 1 is pollution-free.

　　The water in 1.5 yuan is better than that in 27 yuan.

　　In many people’s minds, the sign of good water is "natural and pollution-free". Therefore, we first determined the N1 index, total phosphorus and total organic carbon (TOC) of 12 kinds of packaged drinking water. According to WHO regulations, the sum of the ratio of nitrate measured value to standard value and the ratio of nitrite measured value to standard value in water should be less than or equal to 1.

　　"A large number of data surveys have found that the total amount of nitrate nitrogen in natural high-quality mineral water and natural mountain spring water in nature is less than 0.5." Professor Li Fuxing, Director of Beijing Public Health Drinking Water Research Institute, introduced.

　　"So we take 0.5 as the critical value of’ good water’. We named this formula N1 index. " Li Fuxing said that the conversion formula of N1 index is N1= nitrate measured value/standard value+nitrite measured value/standard value. The greater the value of N1, the more seriously the water quality of the water source is polluted.

　　The results showed that the N1 index of 12 kinds of packaged drinking water was below 0.5, which met the requirements of WHO for good water. In addition, no total phosphorus and total organic carbon were detected in all the packaged drinking water, indicating that the water source was less polluted.

　　The N1 index of Bay Blue natural mineral water from New Zealand was only 0.021, while the N1 index of Jurassic natural mineral water reached 0.376.

　　The N1 index of Danone Yili’s drinking natural mineral water source, which is only sold in 1.5 yuan, ranks second, which is more pollution-free than perrier natural mineral water sold in 27 yuan.

　　Evaluation Report 2 Taste

　　Water with the right mineral content is really "a little sweet"

　　The slogan "Nongfu Spring is a little sweet" has made many people begin to notice the taste of packaged drinking water. However, there are no relevant standards and quantitative tools for evaluating the taste of packaged drinking water.

　　After investigating and analyzing the mineral components in tap water and drinks in the world and Japan, the scholars of Osaka University in Japan think that the taste index is closely related to five components: calcium, potassium, silica, magnesium and sulfate, and put forward a formula for evaluating the taste of drinking water: the taste index oi = (Ca2++K++SiO2)/(Mg2++SO4 2-) ≥ 2.

　　According to the formula, the taste of water is positively correlated with the taste index. The higher the value, the sweeter the water is, and "2" is the critical value of taste.

　　"The higher the content of calcium ions, the thicker the taste of water. A proper amount of potassium ions can make water sweeter, and silica is also conducive to improving the taste of water. Too high content of magnesium ions and sulfate will make water bitter and astringent. Only when the contents of these five ions are in a relatively balanced range will the water become sweet, thick and delicious. " Zhao Feihong, director of the Drinking Water Professional Committee of Beijing Health Protection Association, explained.

　　According to the formula of taste index, we measured the taste of 12 kinds of packaged drinking water. The taste index of 9 kinds of water is higher than 2, and the best taste is Danone Yili drinking natural mineral water and Jingtian Baisuishan natural mineral water, with the taste indexes of 16.35 and 14.07 respectively.

　　The taste index of Jurassic natural mineral water (infant water) was 0.31, and that of 5100 Tibetan glaciers was 1.43, which did not meet the minimum recommended index of taste index.

　　Evaluation Report 3 Sodium Content

　　Three kinds of water should not be drunk by special people for a long time.

　　Scientific research shows that excessive salt intake is easy to cause diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction and cancer. The main component of salt is sodium chloride, so controlling salt intake is actually controlling sodium intake.

　　"For special people, such as infants, the elderly, hypertensive patients, and people with low immunity, the sodium content in drinking water should not exceed 20mg/L. Only water with sodium content below 20 mg/L can be called low-sodium water." Professor Li Fuxing, director of Beijing Public Health Drinking Water Research Institute, said.

　　After testing, the sodium content of 9 of the 12 kinds of packaged drinking water sent for inspection is lower than 20mg/L, of which the sodium content of natural mineral water of Bay Blue is only 1.32 mg/L..

　　The sodium content of Jurassic, 5100 Tibet Glacier and Kunlun Mountain mineral water was higher than 20mg/L, among which the sodium content of Jurassic drinking natural mineral water reached 154 mg/L. For special people, if they drink it regularly, it will have a certain impact on their health.

　　Evaluation report 4 Total number of colonies

　　Is infant water a concept?

　　In recent years, water under the banner of "mother and baby water" and "baby water" has quietly become popular in the market. However, in China, there is no relevant standard for such new concept aquatic products. Judging from the current market situation, the concept of "sterility" is the mainstay of most infant water. So, is "sterility" reliable?

　　We specially sent four kinds of infant water, including Nongfu Spring drinking natural water (suitable for infants), Italian Santa Ana baby mineral water, Bay Blue natural mineral water and Jurassic drinking natural mineral water, and compared two kinds of packaged drinking water of Nongfu Spring within the brand.

　　In fact, there are no restrictions on the total number of colonies in the existing national drinking water standards GB 8537-2008 Drinking Natural Mineral Water and GB19298-2014 Packaging Drinking Water. The only requirement for the total number of colonies is GB5749-2006 Hygienic Standard for Drinking Water, with a limit of 100cfu/ml.

　　According to the test results, the total number of colonies in Santa Ana baby mineral water in Italy is less than 1cfu/ml. The total number of colonies in Bay Blue and Jurassic reached 176cfu/ml and 1900cfu/ml respectively.

　　Interestingly, compared with the products in Nongfu Spring brand, the total number of colonies in natural water and natural water specially marked for infants and young children is less than 1cfu/ml. In other words, before Nongfu Spring introduced the concept of "aseptic" infant water, the products had been "aseptic".
