Japanese Self-Defense Force Officials Broke Into The Chinese Embassy, and The Imperial View Of History Was Behind It
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 29, Title: Murata Akira "shakes" the ghost of militarism
Xinhua News Agency reporter
The 23-year-old Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces officer and third-class Lieutenant Kodai Murata carried a knife with a blade about 18 centimeters long, scaled the fence with barbed wire, forced his way into the Chinese Embassy in Japan, and threatened to kill Chinese diplomats "in the name of God."
This is by no means a so-called "accidental security incident." The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department only filed the case as a misdemeanor for "illegal trespassing into a building", and the Japanese Defense Minister and other senior officials expressed nothing but "deep regret". An understatement such as this is a revelation in itself. "What kind of education are the Japan Self-Defense Forces currently conducting on China-related issues?" asked Takakage Fujita, chairman of the Murayama Dialogue for Succession and Development, pointing directly to the deep background of this extreme incident.
According to Japanese media reports, Kodai Murata graduated from the Ground Self-Defense Force Cadre Candidate School. This place is considered to be a place for training backbone officials of the Self-Defense Forces, but it is becoming a hotbed of revisionist historical views. The school's 2024 textbook was exposed to use expressions such as "the Japanese army fought bravely for a long time" to describe the Battle of Okinawa, but made no mention of atrocities such as the Japanese army killing local civilians and forcing civilians to commit suicide. It was later forced to make certain corrections due to pressure from public opinion. The National Defense University, which is the largest source of Self-Defense Forces officials, openly uses terms such as "China Incident" and "Greater East Asia War" that are full of contempt for China and "imperial view of history" in its required course "Introduction to Defense Studies", distorting the nature of the war of aggression as "self-defense against the European and American powers' invasion of Asia." In April 2024, a regiment-level unit of the Ground Self-Defense Force blatantly used the term "Greater East Asia War" when releasing official information. In addition, the National Defense University and various educational institutions frequently invite far-right figures such as Tsuneyasu Takeda, a writer who advocates visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, as lecturers. Japan's "Mainichi Shimbun" once published an article entitled "Far-right infiltration of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces: Don't retreat to "postwar resentment"", criticizing such "extraordinary practices."
Outside the classroom, the "Yasukuni view of history" that beautifies and distorts the history of the war of aggression has seriously penetrated into the Self-Defense Forces. Taking the National Defense University as an example, its students usually have to go through a long-distance "night march" to the Yasukuni Shrine, which "enshrines" 14 Class-A war criminals, to conduct a so-called "pilgrimage" to "exercise physical strength and show condolences to the heroes who protect the country." In April 2024, former Maritime Self-Defense Force Admiral Otsuka Kaio became the 14th generation priest of the Yasukuni Shrine, becoming the first top priest in the history of the Yasukuni Shrine to be served by a retired Self-Defense Force general. Among the 10 members of the advisory decision-making body of the Yasukuni Shrine, former Maritime Self-Defense Force Chief of Staff Koichi Furuzou and former Ground Self-Defense Force Chief of Staff Yoshifumi Firebox are prominently listed. The personnel channel between the Self-Defense Forces and the Yasukuni Shrine has thus become highly institutionalized. In addition, the Ministry of Defense seems to have explicitly banned collective visits to the shrine. In early 2024, the then Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ground Self-Defense Force, Hiroki Kobayashi, led dozens of people to visit the shrine in an official vehicle. The Ministry of Defense only responded with a "reprimand". The "Yushukan" of the Yasukuni Shrine, which promotes "Yasukuni's view of history," is packaged as a "history education base" for the Self-Defense Forces. In May 2023, the then Commander of the Maritime Self-Defense Force Training Fleet Yasuki Imano led more than 160 Self-Defense Force alternate cadres to pay homage to the Yasukuni Shrine in uniform. The Maritime Self-Defense Force argued that this was a "private visit during a break in training," and the so-called "training" was actually a visit to the "Yushukan".
Internal cognitive poisoning of education goes hand in hand with the external political climate. In recent years, Japan's right-wing forces have used "normalization" as a guise to forcefully push for the lifting of the ban on the export of anti-personnel weapons and seek "the ability to attack enemy bases." In their actions, they have gradually jeopardized the pacifist constitution. After the Takaichi Sanae government came to power, it made rapid progress on the road to the right. On March 14, at the graduation ceremony of the National Defense University, she played up the "threat theory from neighboring countries" and the so-called "most severe and complex security environment since World War II", and asked young officials to maintain a "sense of tension" when engaging in various tasks. The political manipulation at the top and the restlessness at the bottom of society stir up each other, forming a huge quagmire full of hostility and anxiety. When analyzing the incident of breaking into the embassy with a knife, Takao Izutsu, a former member of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, believed that "the extraordinary behavior of breaking into the embassy was precisely the cognitive atmosphere within the Self-Defense Force."
Right-wing hostility is spreading, and its ambitions are by no means just aimed at neighboring countries. The hidden spearhead also targets the post-war system and the United States. Among the grassroots of the Self-Defense Forces, the idea of "The Tokyo Trial is invalid" is quite popular. Books circulated such as "Summary of the Greater East Asia War" refer to Japan's war of aggression during World War II as the "Greater East Asia Holy War", beautifying colonial rule, the emperor system and war actions, while denying the legitimacy of the Tokyo Trial. In his "award-winning" essay "Is Japan an Aggressive Country?", former Japan Air Self-Defense Force Chief of Staff Toshio Tamogami attributed the war between Japan and the United States to "a trap carefully set by the United States" and declared that "the Tokyo Trial imposed all responsibility for the war on Japan." From the perspective of "silent revanchism", the Japan-US alliance is seen as a "yoke" and "colonial" state that suppresses Japan's independent sovereignty. Therefore, Japan's right wing advocates strengthening its military power to become a so-called "normal country" and eventually get rid of the control of the United States...
Bringing a knife into a hotel is not a person's extreme behavior, but the consequences of systematic long-term indoctrination. The reincarnations of history are often surprisingly similar. A young Self-Defense Force officer who had just graduated from Cadre Candidate School and was promoted to third-class Lieutenant, left his post without authorization, traveled long distances, and brought a weapon to foreign embassies to cause trouble. His behavior pattern is very similar to the "Showa Restoration" of young Japanese military officers in the 1930s. At that time, it was those grassroots officers who were full of "imperial view of history" and called themselves "people who care about the country". Through assassinations, coups and other actions, they kidnapped the Japanese state machinery step by step and dragged Japan and the entire world into the abyss of war.
What Murata Kodai "dreamed up" was the ghost of Japanese militarism that has never gone away. The 18-centimetre "ferocious blade" in his hand is a product of Japan's right-wing political circles and the Self-Defense Forces' poisoned education system. When grassroots officials of the armed forces no longer obey the peaceful constitution, but instead challenge the bottom line of diplomacy and engage in "meat bomb" political speculation, this is by no means an occasional black swan event, but a systemic gray rhino risk. The international community must remain sufficiently alert and highly vigilant against the next possible shocking evil act. (over)
L'Oréal Paris 30th Anniversary Party, Zhou Tao's Style Still Interprets The Beauty That Has Never Failed Over Time
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the launch of a certain series of products, the beauty brand L'Oréal Paris invited celebrities such as Na Lisa, Li Chuan, and Wang Zhengliang to organize a "New Year Gala".
With red as the background, comedians gathered together, it was lively, and the setting and atmosphere were full of New Year flavor.
What is even more eye-catching is that in addition to Li Xueqin, a familiar face from variety shows, the hosts invited to this party are also former CCTV female host Zhou Tao.
A post-60s and a post-90s mix and match to create a unique party.
On that day, Zhou Tao wore an apricot-colored dress with diamonds and long wavy hair. She had a plump and stylish figure. The dress was elegant and elegant on her body, full of femininity.
When she started with "Happy New Year everyone", it instantly brought the audience's memory back to the days when they watched her host the Spring Festival Gala.
If you look closely, there are some traces of time on her face, and the corners of her eyes are covered with fine lines, but her square face has superior bones, which truly explains what it means to be a beauty that never fails over time.
Everything he does is elegant and confident, as elegant and charming as he was more than ten years ago.
I don’t know if you have noticed that the current mainstream aesthetics are changing. Including the female hosts of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, they have changed from the Zhou Zheng style to the Xiaojiabiyu style. Regardless of their hosting skills, the recognition of their faces has been greatly reduced.
But it seems that the previous host is better-looking, with a plump figure, a face that resembles the national peace and prosperity of the country, dignified and majestic, and he has a sense of weight as soon as he stands on the stage.
Even if he is waiting backstage, if he takes a casual glance, he has a strong aura and a temperament that can command the crowd.
And as soon as she takes the stage, even though she has been away from the stage for many years, her affinity and command of the scene are demonstrated, and she is still as cool as ever!
In comparison, Li Xueqin, who was born as an Internet celebrity, looks inferior.
In terms of image, Li Xueqin has made great progress this year. She has successfully lost weight, her beauty has improved dramatically, and she is now able to wear all kinds of beautiful dresses.
I saw her wearing a black diamond-encrusted tube top dress, which showed off her graceful figure. She was not white and thin, but slightly voluptuous, and very healthy and beautiful.
The hairstyle is neat and tidy, and it looks a bit more neat and tidy than in the variety show.
The hosting is fun and has a unique sense of humor.
But I don’t know if she feels a lot of pressure co-hosting with a senior like Zhou Tao, and her expression management seems a bit unnatural.
What's more, another important guest, Li Bingbing, was added midway through the party.
After 17 years, Li Bingbing once again returns to the brand’s spokesperson family.
52-year-old Li Bingbing maintains her figure as well as ever. A golden dress wraps up her good figure without a trace of fat.
The large curly hair half hanging on the chest adds a bit of mature woman's style.
The camera zoomed in, and it was false to say that there was no sign of aging on her face, but the radiant look she exuded made her really young, vigorous and vital.
Suddenly standing next to the two "big heroines", Li Xueqin seemed a little reserved all of a sudden, with an awkward expression.
When the camera shows three beauties at the same time, Zhou Tao is like a flower of wealth in the world, elegant and gentle, with a kind of quiet beauty of time.
Li Bingbing, on the other hand, is majestic, just like her journey through the film and television industry, where she has overcome all obstacles and obstacles, from actress to capital.
Li Xueqin smiled and showed humility.
His shoulders slumped unconsciously, and his smile became stiff. He pursed his lips when he smiled so hard that his lips could not cover his teeth. His grin also looked like a professional fake smile. The smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, his facial features were not stretched, and it was not contagious.
Li Xueqin graduated from Peking University. Her academic qualifications alone make people look at her with a three-point filter. After all, she has the aura of a famous school, and most people will look up to her.
Seven years ago, she became famous on the Internet because of her advocacy for a certain fan. Later, she did talk shows, hosted variety shows, and participated in TV series and movies. From being a soy sauce to playing a leading role, her career has fully blossomed.
It is no exaggeration to say that her resources are incredible.
But it seems that she is not good at any profession. She is only average when she is a comedian, she has no outstanding works in film and television dramas, and she does not have such strong national popularity as a host.
This time she was on the same stage with Zhou Tao, and netizens reported that her beauty was outdone by Zhou Tao, who was older than her, and her hosting skills were also different.
And Zhou Tao, who is nearly 60 years old, still looks like a goddess. As soon as she took the microphone and put on a small online party, she also hosted the Spring Festival Gala.
Everyone is asking, why doesn’t CCTV Spring Festival Gala no longer invite her to the stage when her professional skills are so strong?
The U.S.-Israeli War Continues For More Than A Month. The Reasons And Consequences Of The Houthi Armed Forces' End At This Time
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 28 (Reporter Liu Zan, Crown Prince Songying) As the United States and Israel continue their military attacks on Iran for a month, the Houthi armed forces in Yemen launched missiles into Israel for the first time since the outbreak of the war. This was interpreted by the Israeli side as a sign that the Houthi armed forces "joined the war".
The Houthi armed forces are regarded as the "extremely deterrent trump card" in Iran's hands. Their intervention in the war means that Iran will further "showdown" with the United States and Israel. Why did the Houthi armed forces "end" at this time, how will they act, and what impact will it have on the direction of the war and the global economy?

Why is it "ending" at this time?
The Houthi armed forces confirmed on the 28th that they "used powerful ballistic missiles for the first time" to attack sensitive Israeli military targets in support of Iran and the resistance front. "Operations will continue until the aggression ceases."
Since the outbreak of the war, as a member of the "Arc of Resistance", a regional anti-U.S.-Israel alliance led by Iran, the Houthis have expressed "full support" for Iran and said they are "ready to pull the trigger at any time." However, they have been holding back due to considerations of their own agenda and security costs.
On the 27th, the Houthi armed forces proposed three prerequisites for intervention in the war: the Red Sea is used to launch military operations against Iran or other Islamic countries, or new regional or international alliances join to support the United States and Israel's actions against Iran and the "Arc of Resistance", or the military escalation against Iran and the "Arc of Resistance" continues to expand.
One day later, as the war between the United States and Israel continued for a month, the Houthi armed forces officially came to an end. Experts believe that there are three intentions of the Houthis and Iran.
First, enhance deterrence. At present, the United States continues to increase its troops to the Middle East, and Israel continues to intensify its attacks on Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Bao Chengzhang, an expert at the Institute of Middle East Studies at Shanghai International Studies University, believes that Iran's use of the "ace card" of the Houthi armed forces can ease the military pressure faced by Iran and other forces in the "Arc of Resistance", boost morale, and warn the United States and Israel not to escalate the war rashly.
Second, warn regional countries. The current stance of U.S. Gulf allies in the conflict is subtle. The Houthi armed forces' "pulling the trigger" can be seen as Iran's warning to Gulf countries not to blindly follow the United States and not to be "cannon fodder" for the United States.
Third, increase bargaining chips for possible negotiations. At present, many countries are actively mediating indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States. The "end" of the Houthi armed forces will increase Iran's confidence.
At the same time, the Houthis themselves may also feel threatened. Israel has been revealed to be negotiating security cooperation with Somaliland, which is across the sea from Yemen. Forced by the close threat, the Houthis launched missiles as a "shock".

Three possible strikes
Analysts believe that the intervention of the Houthi armed forces is another "nightmare" for the United States and Israel. The Houthi armed forces may have three attack targets. The purpose is to increase the casualties and economic costs of the United States and Israel, consume the United States' air defense and missile defense capabilities, and amplify the pressure of public opinion from the international community on the United States and Israel.
One is Israel’s local targets. The "Palestine-2" ballistic missile equipped by the Houthi armed forces has a maximum range of more than 2,000 kilometers and can hit targets deep within Israeli territory. This move will further consume Israel's limited air defense and anti-missile munitions, putting it under pressure from three sides - ballistic missiles and drones from Iran in the east, rockets from Lebanon's Hezbollah in the north, and ballistic missiles from Yemen's Houthi armed forces in the south.
The second is to attack US military bases and other facilities in the Gulf region. This move can not only directly threaten the forward deployment of the US military, but also continue to consume the air defense capabilities of the United States and Gulf countries. It can also further increase the trust rift between Gulf allies and the United States, forcing the Gulf countries to pressure the Trump administration to end the war as soon as possible.
The third is to harass American and Israeli ships traveling in the Red Sea. Yemen guards the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The Houthis have the ability to threaten and attack passing ships and even block the strait. This move may force the US military to invest additional troops in the Red Sea or disperse the deployment of existing troops.
The Stimson Center, a U.S. think tank, has previously conducted research and judgment on the potential targets of the Houthi armed forces. It believes that it is "extremely likely" that the Houthis will attack ports, airports, cities and other targets in Israel, it is "moderately possible" to attack U.S. and allied ships in the Red Sea, and it is "possible" to attack U.S. interests in the Gulf region and impose a blockade on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

What is the “trump card” effect?
It is still unclear to what extent the Houthi armed forces will intervene, but this latest trend undoubtedly means the further spread and escalation of the war, which will complicate the situation in the long term and may further impact the global economy.
First of all, once the Houthi armed forces "end", it means that the area affected by the war will expand from the Persian Gulf to the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden where the Houthi armed forces radiate. This will increase the risk of the war escalating into a full-scale war in the region. Egyptian expert Mohamed Abdel-Wahid pointed out that the Houthis may open a new front for the "Arc of Resistance", further complicating the situation.
Secondly, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, radiated by the Houthi armed forces, is another "throat" for global shipping. It is also an alternative channel for Saudi Arabia's crude oil exports after shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is blocked. If the Houthis blockade the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, it will be a double blow to the global energy supply and transportation supply chain.
Third, the long-term complication of the war and the further impact on the global economy and energy markets mean that the Trump administration’s public opinion pressure at home and abroad will further increase. Bertil Akkash, a scholar at Turkey's Ankara University, said that the Houthi armed forces' participation in the war is equivalent to opening up a second "strait battlefield" for this war, and greater pressure will be put on the Trump administration.
However, Bao Chengzhang believes that the intensity of the Houthi armed forces’ participation in the war remains to be seen. First, their weapons inventory is currently unknown, and second, large-scale intervention in the war may weaken the legitimacy of the Houthi armed forces in Yemen.
The Panama Canal Port Transaction Case Is In A Difficult Situation, And The Game Situation Between China And The United States Is Gradually Becoming Clearer
Regarding the issue related to the Panama Canal port transaction case, Panama is now in a difficult position. CK Hutchison Group saw that Panama did not have the confidence to continue the fight, and took advantage of the situation to increase the amount of compensation. Trump himself admitted that the United States is now unable to do anything. If Panama loses the strong support of the United States, it will not be a match for CK Hutchison and China in the port transaction case, and things will develop in an increasingly favorable direction for China.
According to the latest situation disclosed by the media, after Panama forcibly took over the two major canal gateway ports operated by Changhe, it immediately fell into all-round difficulties. The withdrawal of the original operator Changhe's subsidiary Panamanian Port Company caused the port's automation system to paralyze, the loading and unloading efficiency to drop sharply, and some shipping companies to suspend sailings. This situation further caused the port to be almost shut down and the regional supply chain to be disrupted.
At the same time, the Panamanian government is facing huge international commercial claims, the credibility of the national contract has collapsed, and foreign investment willingness has been significantly reduced. Although the country caters to the geopolitical pressure from the United States, it has not received substantial help. It is unable to independently maintain efficient port operation, and it is difficult to compromise due to domestic populist pressure. It has no choice but to face the situation of riding a tiger and being unable to get off.
Panama chose sides between China and the United States, but it became a "chess piece" in the game between major powers, and neither side was pleased with it. On the one hand, Panama is forced to do so due to the "powerful power" of the United States. If it fails to do so, the country may face a similar fate to Venezuela and Cuba.
On the other hand, China has counterattacked through legal commercial means such as the suspension of COSCO Shipping Lines and the initiation of international commercial arbitration by the CK Hutchison Group to protect the rights and interests of enterprises, and Panama has had to respond.
Panama originally expected Western shipping giants to take over the mess. As a result, Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping Company lacked core system authority and professional operating experience, resulting in the port continuing to be "half-dead".
CK Hutchison Group has a keen sense of smell. It caught Panama in trouble after the port takeover. It recently formally submitted supplementary information to the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce and further increased the amount of claims against the Panamanian government from the initial at least US$2 billion to more than US$2 billion.
The core basis for CK Hutchison's adjustment was that the Panamanian government continued to adopt extreme administrative measures after the takeover, including seizing proprietary documents, blocking company systems, refusing to coordinate asset access and compensation, and failing to submit a first defense in the arbitration proceedings. As a result, CK Hutchison's actual losses continued to expand, far exceeding initial estimates.
The claim amount claimed by CK Hutchison is rigorous and clear, covering the valuation of the three terminals, the discounted income for the remaining 21 years of the contract, the direct operating losses caused by the forced eviction, and additional proof costs.
Faced with this situation, the Panamanian government was unable to pay huge compensation, and was unable to compromise due to domestic populist pressure. It fell into multiple desperate situations of "inability to compensate, no way to negotiate, and no way to operate." This clearly demonstrated the short-sightedness and recklessness of the country when it forcibly took over the port.
Previously, in order to curb the influence of Chinese capital in the Panama Canal, the Trump administration not only used political pressure and cracked down on Panama's flag of convenience ship system, but also encouraged Panama to unilaterally tear up the legal port operation contract with the CK Hutchison Group. It also tacitly allowed Maersk to take over the port operation, making Panama mistakenly believe that it had solid support from the United States, and it dared to make rash decisions that violated the commercial contract.
But now, Trump is being tightly constrained by the situation in the Middle East, and has even complained privately to his advisers that the war has distracted the United States from advancing other priority agendas, and is eager to end the conflict within a few weeks. Trump's team is repeatedly swinging between "promoting diplomatic negotiations" and "escalating military strikes." The US government is also deeply divided on the armistice and has no spare energy to intervene in the Panama port case.
Trump's "no time to care" for Panama once again exposed the true face of the United States, which only cares about its own interests in international affairs and has no responsibilities as allies. Panama misjudged the situation and relied on the United States, and ultimately ended up being abandoned and unable to protect itself. It is really its own fault.
Wanda Film Plans To Change Its Name To Ruyi Film, Focusing On Diversified Entertainment To Provide High-quality Experiences
On March 27, Wanda Film issued an announcement announcing that it planned to change its name to "Ruyi Film Entertainment Co., Ltd." After the name change, Ruyi Films will focus on "super scenes + super IP" under the super entertainment space strategy, upgrade online and offline entertainment experiences, and deepen the entire cultural and entertainment industry chain. Among them, "Ruyi" represents the content creation gene, and "Film Entertainment" demonstrates the company's determination to focus on offline scenes and delve into diversified entertainment experiences. In the future, Ruyi Films will strive to evolve from a traditional film company covering content production, distribution and screening into a cultural and entertainment brand loved by global users.
The announcement revealed that the name change was to better align with the company's strategic transformation direction. As one of the important cinema brands under Ruyi Films, Wanda Cinema will continue to provide users with high-quality movie viewing and offline entertainment services.
Focus on diversified entertainment consumption to provide high-quality experience
After the brand refresh, as a business group under Ruyi focusing on diversified entertainment consumption, Ruyi Films will rely on more than 700 directly-operated cinemas across the country and Ruyi's rich IP reserves to create "super scenes" and "super IP" to provide users with high-quality online and offline entertainment consumption experiences.
The so-called "super scene" is to promote the evolution of movie theaters from "watching movies" to "socializing" under the "super entertainment space" strategy, so that movie theaters not only have movies, but also IP-based immersive dramas, themed exhibitions, livehouses, and specialty food and beverages, making movie theaters a core entertainment hub in the city that people are willing to make special trips and check in frequently.
"Super IP" relies on the Confucian-Italian IP reserve to deeply cultivate the full life cycle value of IP. In the future, Ruyi Film will not only promote the linkage of movies and dramas, but also advance the development of derivatives and the creation of theme spaces to the content creation stage, continue to explore the value of content backlinks, transform IP into perceptible and participatory "space narratives", and build an immersive cultural universe.
AI is profoundly rewriting the production methods, organizational forms, distribution logic and monetization models of the entertainment industry. Ruyi Films said that the company will embrace AI but not blindly follow it. It will use AI full-link empowerment to improve the efficiency of content distribution and theater arrangement, and integrate AI into its own APP to improve the efficiency of users' movie-watching decisions. Through AI-assisted creative development, it will explore more unconstrained possibilities and use the released productivity to polish what AI cannot do - more resonant stories, warmer on-site services, and deeper emotional connections.
Transformation from single box office revenue to diversified consumption ecology
This brand refresh also marks that since the change of control of Wanda Film in 2024, the new management team has officially entered the substantial final stage of the company's resource integration and governance optimization. In the future, it will no longer be limited to traditional projection terminal positioning, and will continue to promote the transformation of the business from a single box office revenue to a diversified consumption ecology.
Since its establishment in 2005, Wanda Film has produced nearly 200 films, with cumulative global box office revenue exceeding 100 billion, and has led the industry in domestic box office, movie attendance and market share for 17 consecutive years.
After Confucianism takes over in 2024, it will lay out diverse entertainment forms and consumption scenarios, and launch a "super entertainment space" strategy to upgrade the cinema from a movie viewing venue to a diversified entertainment complex. Over the past two years, the company has promoted in-depth collaboration of "content + channels" to create an industry closed loop of "content development-theater screening-IP operation", and expanded multiple offline entertainment consumption scenarios and growth engines such as derivatives, trendy toys, food and beverages, etc., laying a solid foundation for further deepening the industry.
The performance forecast for 2025 shows that Wanda Film is expected to make a profit of 480 million to 550 million yuan for the whole year, consolidating its leading position in the recovery of the industry; during the 2026 Spring Festival, Wanda Film not only occupied 6 seats in the top 10 movie theaters in the country, and 65 seats in the top 100 movie theaters, but also won 19 provincial box office championships and 154 municipal box office championships. "Flying Life 3", which participated in the production and distribution, also won the Spring Festival box office championship.
It is understood that the collaboration between Confucian-style films and Confucian-style films goes beyond “content + channels”, but rather builds an ecosystem with IP as the soul, scenes as the body, and AI as the engine. In the future, Ruyi Film's services to users will not only be limited to two hours of movie viewing, but will ultimately realize the full life cycle operation of young people's entertainment consumption by converting the creative potential within the system into market momentum and user emotional precipitation.
Ending With Roses! Yang Xing Interprets Fresh Cherries To Show The Diverse Charms Of Women
As the urban romance drama "Rose" ushered in the membership finale on Tencent Video, "Cherry" played by actor Yang Xing entered the hearts of many viewers. From the liveliness and agility when he first appeared, to the tenderness and emotion at the end, this character has completed a complete and true emotional growth. Yang Xing's delicate and heartfelt performance made "Cherry" a highly recognizable and vital female image on the screen at the beginning of the new year.
The powerful actress Yang Xing has demonstrated solid professional skills in many film and television works with her unique screen temperament and calm and delicate performance style. Her performance is real and restrained, full of layers, with solid line skills, delicate and tense emotional expressions. She can not only control the spunk and power in action scenes, but also delicately portray the emotional levels in realistic themes. Her character plasticity is very outstanding.
In "Roses", Yang Xing deeply integrates sobriety, independence, affection and bravery into the character's characteristics. After discovering that her husband was cheating on her, Cherry decisively turned around and divorced. This sobriety runs through every choice she made: being hard-spoken and soft-hearted when facing suitors, enduring harassment alone, and leaving calmly when she discovered betrayal. In addition to the emotional independence and sobriety, the sincerity and protection between best friends are also performed by Yang Xing in a sincere and delicate way, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the play, Yingtao gives her unreserved preference to her best friend Xiaoxi - "I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did." This line, under Yang Xing's interpretation, expresses the self-evident warmth and support between women. Yang Xing uses subtle expression changes and body language to naturally present the inner qualities of these characters, making the cherry vivid, three-dimensional and within reach.
From the revengeful sister Xina in "Blind War", to the gentle and cold Qi Dongcao in "My Name is Zhao Jiadi", to the progressive young woman Yi Qunxian who passionately pursues the truth in "The Awakening Age", Yang Xing continues to expand her acting boundaries with roles with different styles. In "Bush of Roses", Yang Xing shifted the focus of her performance from physical movements to emotional expression, conveying the tenderness and tenacity of Cherry with her eyes and micro-expressions, completing the calm transition from a hard-core beat-em-up to an urban emotional role, and once again demonstrated the stable expression and role control capabilities of a mature actor.
Not limited to a single role label, actor Yang Xing is always character-oriented, focusing on the exploration and expression of the character's heart, rejecting stylized performances, and striving to present a vivid and three-dimensional character state in every work. This kind of persistence and bravery in performance has allowed her to move forward steadily in the industry, and also made the audience look forward to her next work.
In the future, Yang Xing will continue to delve into acting, constantly break through herself, use her sincere creative attitude and solid professional strength to create more powerful, warm and memorable female images, and bring more high-quality film and television works to the audience. The story of Cherry has come to an end, but the excitement of Yang Xing continues.
