[Huang Wenwei, special correspondent of Global Times in Japan] On the 11th, the Japanese Senate passed the International Tourist Tax Law, stipulating that from next year, passengers leaving Japan will be uniformly taxed at a rate of 1,000 yen (about RMB 59 yuan) regardless of their nationality. The government pointed out that the purpose of taxation is to improve the tourism environment. The people ridiculed that the government may have no money.

　　According to Kyodo News, the Japanese government has set a goal to increase the number of visitors to Japan to 40 million by 2020, when the Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held. The new tax will be used as a financial resource to help revitalize the tourism industry to achieve this goal. The use of tourism tax mainly involves three aspects, that is, improving the environment for comfortable travel, improving the satisfaction of experiential tourism and strengthening the propaganda of Japanese charm. It is estimated that this income will reach 43 billion yen per year. This is Japan’s new permanent national tax after the establishment of land price tax in 1992. Opposition parties such as Democratic Progressive Party and communist party are opposed to this tax. They believe that the government has no specific indicators for the expected effect of the passenger tax, and the use of funds is unknown, which is likely to be wasted.

　　"Is there not enough money to host the Tokyo Olympic Games, so tax collection is changed?" On social networking sites in Japan, people argue that the government should not make a fuss about tourists and collect more money. Some netizens said that compared with the rising price of crude oil and fuel, going abroad is nothing. Anyway, people who can’t afford to go abroad still can’t go out, and people who often go overseas still have to go. Some people ridiculed that "strive to travel abroad once before the end of this year before the national tax is levied." Some people are worried that the government will add new taxes after the "national tax". A netizen pointed out, "Even if you go abroad, you have to be taxed. Is there a mobile phone tax, an e-book tax and so on?" Blindly increasing taxes will ruin the economy. " Others pointed out that foreigners and international students who go to work in Japan should be exempted from national tax.

　　Kyodo said that Japan is not the first country to levy national tax. Australia levies about 5,000 yen on passengers leaving the country by air or passenger ship, while South Korea levies about 1,000 yen on passengers leaving the country by air.

　　Japanese travel agents said that since tourists have to pay more taxes when traveling to Japan, they should provide better services to foreign tourists. The government should spend money on tourist services, such as repairing the airport and surrounding roads and the natural environment. People in the tourism industry are worried that this tax will be used in places other than tourism.

　　Today’s editorial

　　The real estate industry has a large scale, a long chain and a wide range of aspects, and it occupies a fairly high share in the national economy, the fixed assets investment of the whole society, the local fiscal revenue and the total loans of financial institutions. All localities should strive to stabilize land prices, house prices and expectations, strengthen the coordination of regulatory policies such as finance, land and market supervision, meet the reasonable credit demand of housing enterprises, and keep the bottom line of no systemic risks. The real estate industry should also explore new development models and find new growth points to make urban and rural people live more conveniently, comfortably and beautifully.

　　In 2021, the Central Economic Work Conference made important arrangements for promoting the virtuous circle and healthy development of the real estate industry, urban construction and rural construction, and proposed to adhere to the positioning that houses are used for living, not for speculation, strengthen expected guidance, and explore new development models; Promote the construction of affordable housing and support the commercial housing market to better meet the reasonable housing needs of buyers. Wang Menghui, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, told the media recently that real estate should not be used as a tool and means to stimulate the economy in the short term, and a long-term mechanism for real estate should be implemented steadily next year, so as to promote the virtuous circle and healthy development of the real estate industry.

　　Since the implementation of the long-term real estate mechanism, with the joint efforts of all parties, China’s real estate market has been generally stable. In the second half of this year, the real estate market is expected to change significantly. According to the November data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the sales prices of commercial housing in 70 large and medium-sized cities continued to decline month-on-month, and the year-on-year growth rate continued to fall, and the market showed a cooling trend. It is worth noting that this year 1-mdash; In November, the national real estate development investment also showed a downward trend month by month.

　　At present, the real estate market is cold, which is influenced by the factors of debt default risk of individual real estate head enterprises, and also the result of the bottleneck of real estate development and operation mode. Real estate has long followed the development model of "high debt, high leverage and high turnover". Under the pressure of continuous regulation, market cooling and difficult financing, housing enterprises are often in trouble because they are unsustainable. The current downturn in the real estate market once again proves that the urban and rural construction mode of "massive construction, massive consumption and massive emission" is unsustainable. This development mode does not meet the requirements of high-quality development, but also accumulates many potential risks.

　　Next year, China’s economic development will face triple pressures of shrinking demand, supply shock and expected weakening, and the external environment will become more complicated, severe and uncertain. The more we face the downward pressure on the economy, the more we must recognize the situation and maintain strategic strength. The fundamentals of China’s economic stability and long-term improvement have not changed, and China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities. Similarly, the fundamentals of China’s real estate market have not changed, and housing demand is still strong. At present, China is still in the stage of rapid urbanization, with more than 11 million newly employed people in cities and towns every year, which brings a lot of new housing demand. At the same time, a large number of old houses built before 2000 are small in area, poor in quality and incomplete in supporting facilities, and there is a strong demand for improved housing for residents.

　　In the new development period, the real estate industry should not be regarded as a tool for wealth accumulation, but should return to the normal track of serving people’s livelihood and meeting consumer demand. Housing and urban and rural construction are the largest domestic consumer market, and are important areas for steady growth, expanding domestic demand and building a strong domestic market. Real estate enterprises should not only face up to the immediate difficulties, but also firmly develop their confidence. At the same time, all localities should take "ensuring the delivery of buildings, people’s livelihood and stability" as the primary goal, and take the rule of law and marketization as the principle to ensure that the interests of buyers are not lost. Relevant departments should speed up the approval and lending of personal mortgage loans, focus on meeting the needs of the first suite and improvement, and promote the normal release of housing purchases. All localities and departments should actively maintain the smooth operation of the real estate market and better meet the reasonable housing needs of consumers.

　　The real estate industry should also play an important role in stabilizing the macro-economy. The real estate industry is large in scale, long in chain, and involves a wide range. It occupies a fairly high share in the national economy, fixed assets investment of the whole society, local fiscal revenue, and total loans of financial institutions, and has an important systematic impact on economic and financial stability and risk prevention. All localities should strive to stabilize land prices, house prices and expectations, strengthen the coordination of regulatory policies such as finance, land and market supervision, meet the reasonable credit demand of housing enterprises, and keep the bottom line of no systemic risks.

　　Hold the bottom line of the real estate industry, but also to explore new development models and find new growth points. The high-speed and large-scale construction in the past 40 years has accumulated some hidden risks, and disasters and accidents such as aging underground pipelines, urban waterlogging and gas explosion frequently occur, which urgently need to be updated and reformed. Real estate enterprises should actively participate in the transformation and upgrading of urban construction, promote the high-quality development of housing and urban and rural construction, promote their own development with new growth points, stabilize the macro-economy, and make urban and rural people live more conveniently, comfortably and better.

Special feature of 1905 film network To all the "low-headed people":

Don’t underestimate the mobile phones in your hand, because maybe one day, they will collectively "become fine" and launch a crazy counterattack against human beings.

　

This is not an idiotic dream, but a true story in Indian science fiction films.

Indian films have always been known as "brain holes", which we have learned in the epic baahubali. The mythical theme is still the case, and it is even more unscrupulous in the field of science fiction.

　

In the Bollywood Robot 2.0, which was released this weekend and claimed to be the highest investment in Bollywood, the director will refresh your three views with all kinds of bizarre settings and 3D special effects.

When the film was released in India last year, it easily broke the opening record of "baahubali", and won the box office champion in India in 2018 and the second place in the box office of Indian film history.

However, as the first Indian sci-fi film to be introduced to the mainland, the performance of this Bollywood robot on its first day in China market can be described as "bleak". The box office is only over 6 million, and the Douban score is only 5.8 points.

Xiao Dianjun, who has seen the film, said responsibly,The story and logic of the film are really a long story, and the strong Bollywood style is not in line with our sci-fi aesthetics.

However, all kinds of "brain-hole-level" special effects that knock off the chin are still quite enjoyable, and the whole process gives a high-energy sigh of "you can still do this". You can’t miss it if you like curiosity.

The starting point of the film is very "realistic": India, as a country with population and technology, has more than 1 billion mobile phones. In order to attack the city, mobile operators frantically set up base stations all over the country, leading to electronic radiation in off the charts.

　

Birds have become the biggest victims of cell phone signal radiation, and they have died and are on the verge of extinction.

While the screenwriter was "self-deprecating", he did not forget to praise China. "China is the most populous country, but they only have three communication operators."

At this time, a scientist who loves birds like a life stepped forward and did not hesitate to kill himself to generate negative energy, on behalf of birds to destroy you (human beings).

Looking at it carefully, is the image of this "bird man" big boss vaguely familiar?

　

Yes, he is one of the most expensive actors in Bollywood. He once starred in Akshay Kumar, who waited for movies.

　

In order to play the image of this possessed "bird man", he also worked very hard, and all kinds of shocking shapes came to everyone, spending more than three hours on makeup every day.

You ask what this mysterious "negative energy" is? The director won’t talk, and we dare not ask.

　

Anyway, the combat effectiveness is quite open, and everyone’s mobile phones can be absorbed and controlled to form a mobile phone army, and different forms can be changed at any time.

Among them, "bird monster" and "giant" are the most common, and they can also become fluid, tree-like, and pervasive.

　

As the "culprit", the head of India’s telecommunications department and the owner of the operator bear the brunt, becoming the number one target of the mobile phone legion’s revenge, and their deaths are quite tragic.

　

Some were sneaked into the bedroom by mobile phones and burst alive from the body;

　

Some were swallowed up by huge waves and blown into fireworks;

Some people can still hum in the air with blood in their mobile phones after death.

The first half of the film is not a science fiction film, it is simply a living cult horror film.High-energy pictures one after another, the timid little electric gentleman was really scared.

　

After the killing of the "mobile phone monster", the hero robot "Seven Brothers" finally arrived late.

　

Several rounds of fierce fighting between the seven brothers and the "Bird Monster", especially the final stadium Armageddon, also became the biggest attraction of the film.

　

"Big Bird Monster" can control the mobile phone army, and the seventh brother can also make robot troops. Diamond cut diamond two people began several rounds of "super change" big battle.

　

The "Bird Monster" unleashed an army of giants, and the seventh brother opened a 360-degree "lipstick" (oh no, machine gun) solution.

　

The "Bird Monster" showed its original shape, and the Seventh Brother was adjusted to the "Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt" mode.

The "Bird Monster" has the form of a giant, and the Seventh Brother also has the form of "Wan Ciwang+Iron Man".

It can be said that the magic is one foot high and the Tao is ten feet high.

　

No one thought that the big move to defeat the villains turned out to be the bird monster’s favorite army of birds, and the specific way Xiao Dianjun would not be dramatized here.

　

The bird monster controls the mobile phone to attack human beings, but human beings use birds to complete the Jedi counterattack. The director of this wave of "Deal with a man as he deals with you" played quite well.

Finally, the director did not forget to tell the main idea of the film through the mouth of the scientist who invented the seventh brother: "We should use technology to cure diseases, eliminate poverty and promote education, and if we abuse technology to satisfy selfish desires and encourage greed, we will one day reap the consequences."

Generally speaking, this Bollywood Robot 2.0 is not a successful science fiction film, the plot is difficult to delve into, and the presentation of the theme is very far-fetched.

　

But there is no doubt that several climax action scenes in the film show the development level of Indian special effects technology and the amazing imagination beyond the technical level.

Although most of the technical teams behind the scenes have Hollywood backgrounds, they have successfully created a brand-new sci-fi style in the context of Indian movies.

In the sci-fi movie circle where Hollywood has the right to speak, Indian sci-fi is undoubtedly a "mudslide".

　

Since the 1990s, India has gradually begun to try science fiction films. In the early days, Mr. India starred by Sridevi. Recently, the representative ones are Bollywood Robot series, Indian Superman series, time-travel theme and Douban with a score of 7.8.

The fourth film in the "Indian Superman" series has been filmed since 2003, which tells the story of Indian Superman Roche who defeated the dark forces many times and saved the world after gaining the super power and wisdom endowed by aliens.

　

It is not difficult to see that the film imitates and draws lessons from Hollywood classic sci-fi movies such as E.T. from the title, modeling, setting and special effects, but the ubiquitous song and dance elements and Indian humor are very Bollywood-like, which embodies the Indian sci-fi style.

In contrast, the Bollywood Robot series is more original. The top visual effects created by huge investment, bold and exaggerated action scenes with strong comic style have become the signature features of this series.

As early as 2010, the first film in this series, Love of Hollywood Robots, won nearly $100 million at the global box office, and the special effects and action design in it seemed very advanced at that time. Although the second film’s reputation is not as good as expected, judging from the egg at the end of the film and the box office results in India, the third film is a foregone conclusion.

The action design in is very distinctive.

With the development of Indian space technology, the theme of Indian science fiction films in recent two years has gradually left the earth and soared into space. In 2018, "Blowing the Stars" became India’s first space-themed film. The film "Mission Manual" adapted from real events and showing the launching process of the Indian Mars probe was also released this summer.

Two Indian space films: Blowing the Stars and Mission Manual.

In the past decade, with the overall progress of India’s science and technology industry, major Hollywood studios have outsourced their special effects work to Indian companies. The rise of Indian science fiction movies also benefited from the development of the whole visual effects industry to some extent.

　

Judging from the current box office and word-of-mouth of Bollywood Robot 2.0 in mainland China, it is still difficult for Indian sci-fi with unique style to conquer the taste buds of overseas audiences, but no one can ignore the mysterious force that this sci-fi film circle is rising.
