Special feature of 1905 film network Tiger leaps and dragons are born with purple gas, and the weather is good and the weather is good.On February 1st, 2022, the first day of the Year of the Tiger, the film market in China got off to a good start. Many city cinemas have a constant audience from morning till night, and it is hard to get a ticket. Watching movies has become a new year custom.

According to the statistics of the National Film Office, the single-day box office on February 1st (the first day of New Year’s Day) exceeded 1.4 billion yuan, ranking the third in the single-day box office of China film history. The top five box offices of new films all exceeded 100 million, from high to low, they were 635 million, 226 million, 213 million, 181 million and 105 million respectively.

On the first day of the Spring Festival, "Watergate Bridge on Changjin Lake" grossed 635 million yuan, breaking 15 movie history records, such as war, history, and drama films. Grand war scenes, fine special effects pictures and deep feelings for home and country make this film the first choice for most audiences to watch movies during the Spring Festival.

According to the current box office trend and audience’s word of mouth, Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake is not only expected to break the "curse" of the Spring Festival file since 2017 that "the box office leader can’t become the final box office champion", but also more likely to surpass its predecessor The Battle at Lake Changjin and create a new single box office record in the history of China cinema.

Four Seas, This Killer is Not Too Cold and Quiet, and Miracle Stupid Child are three single-day box offices on New Year’s Day, followed closely.

Among them, the racing theme work "Four Seas" is the third Chinese New Year movie directed after that. As the only pure comedy movie in the schedule, The Killer is not too cold and quiet is obviously different from other film types, and the audience diversion pressure is relatively limited. Miracle Stupid Child is the second realistic feature film after the director. Witnessing the third cooperation, Douban scored 7.7, ranking first among the eight new films. Whether the film can replicate the box office trend last year is worth looking forward to.

The competition for the Spring Festival stalls is fierce, which has laid the groundwork from the pre-sale stage. Before the official opening of the Spring Festival in 2022, the competition for pre-sale qualifying of eight new films was fierce. Four films, Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake, Four Seas, This Killer is Not Too Cold and Quiet, and Miracle Stupid Child, were pre-sold over 100 million, making them the most pre-sale films in China film history. Among them, the first day pre-sale of Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake was as high as 328 million yuan, which led the major new films and ranked second in the pre-sale list of the premiere day of China film history.

In terms of animated films, "Bears Come Back to Earth" closed at 105 million yuan on its first day. It is worth looking forward to whether the final box office of the film can create a new high in the series of "Bears". , and provide more choices for parent-child file viewing.

The box office made a good start on the first day of the Spring Festival, creating conditions for the whole box office and the box office in February to reach a new high.

In terms of cinema box office, the number of cinemas in Beijing reached 6 in the TOP10 of the national cinema box office list on New Year’s Day. In the data of the same period in 2021, only one Beijing cinema was on the list. The difference between the two may explain from the side that in order to better support the epidemic prevention and control, more and more residents in first-and second-tier cities have chosen to celebrate the New Year on the spot. Watching movies has become one of the best entertainment methods for local residents during the Spring Festival.

According to statistics, from 2011 to 2022 (except 2020), the single-day box office of China mainland film market repeatedly broke new highs, from the initial 54 million to the highest 1.692 billion. Behind the fact that the box office broke through new highs many times on the first day of the New Year’s Day, it is not only the maturity of the Spring Festival file, but also a microcosm of the maturity of the mainland film market in China and the rapid development of the quality and quantity of domestic films.

As a cultural carrier, movies have the important functions of bearing social morality and actively promoting cultural construction and the prosperity and development of literature and art. At the same time, movies are the embodiment of cultural soft power. In recent years, the constantly emerging high-quality domestic films, such as "Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake", have attracted widespread attention in overseas markets.

　　BEIJING, April 16 (Xinhua)-On March 11, 2011, a major earthquake and tsunami occurred in East Japan, resulting in a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Eight years after the accident, the aftermath is still difficult. On the 15th, Tokyo Electric Power Company used remote control system to go deep into the core of the melted unit and move out the first batch of melted nuclear fuel.

　　[The cleaning work is difficult and slow]

　　Units 1 to 4 were damaged in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and only Unit 4 did not have nuclear core melting. In December 2014, 1,535 nuclear fuels were moved out. As for Units 1 to 3, due to the strong nuclear radiation around the nuclear core, on the 15th of this month, Tokyo Electric Power Company took out some fuel from Unit 3 for the first time.

　　TEPCO introduced in the report that Unit 3 has 566 nuclear fuels, of which 514 have been used and 52 have not been used. The radiation around the nuclear core can reach up to 800 microsieverts per hour. To dismantle the nuclear fuel hidden in its pool, it can only be remotely controlled from 500 meters away.

　　Workers have to go through several steps to carry these nuclear materials. First, they transfer the unused fuel into containers, then they put these containers on the ground with cranes, and finally they put them in a freezing pool.

　　It is understood that this operation of TEPCO has been delayed for four years compared with the original planning. Despite this, the company still believes that it is a breakthrough to successfully move out of the first batch.

　　It is estimated that it will not be until 2021 to clean up the melted nuclear fuel in the No.3 reactor, which is considered to be the most difficult part of the cleaning work. TEPCO said it plans to start removing fuel from the first and second reactors in 2023, and these reactors have also melted.

　　Among Units 1 to 6 of the First Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 4 completed the fuel removal operation in 2014. Units 1 and 2 are currently in the stage of promoting investigation and other work near the fuel pool, and strive to start operations with the general goal of 2023.

　　[Residents have a long way to go home]

　　The day before TEPCO released the news of cleaning up the first batch of furnace units, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which was the second time Abe had entered the nuclear disaster area. During the inspection in September 2013, he wore a nuclear-proof suit; This time, he wore a suit and no mask.

　　Japanese reports pointed out that Japan will hold the Olympic Games next year, and Abe’s high-profile visit to Fukushima is to publicize and tell the outside world that Japan has made progress in radiation removal.

　　However, as of January 2019, more than 32,000 people have not returned home.

　　The large-scale clean-up work continued in the first half of 2019, and the Japanese government cancelled the evacuation order of one of the two towns near the nuclear power plant. About 50 people were allowed to return to their homes in parts of Uromachi, west of the first nuclear power plant, where the radiation level was considered to have reached safety standards.

　　However, the reporters said that the radiation in some areas of Bear Town is still the main concern of the original residents there, and it is still impossible for most residents who lived in the town to return home.

　　Although the accident in 2011 did not directly and immediately cause death, more than 40 patients evacuated from a hospital in this area later died, and some deaths were related to the trauma suffered by people who lost their homes and relatives.

　　In 2017, three former Tokyo Electric Power Company executives were tried and charged with dereliction of duty related to hospital evacuation.
