Special feature of 1905 film network 、、、、、、。Almost half of Hong Kong’s films have been put together, which is unprecedented and has become a swan song.

Everyone shoots a short film, uses film to focus on an era and tells a story about Hong Kong’s feelings.

How to call them together, how to allocate time and how to shoot them? In this regard, we interviewed the producer of "Band of Seven" exclusively, and looked at the seven directors from her perspective, revealing the whole process of film organizing.

An exclusive interview with producer Zhu Shuyi on the 1905 movie network.

Coincidentally, Zhu Shuyi is also the producer of a hot Hong Kong film in the summer, and the box office of the film has now approached the 700 million mark, with a bright performance.

A Hong Kong-style blockbuster action movie, a collection of Hong Kong directors’ feelings, Zhu Shuyi managed two very important annual Hong Kong films this year.

Although the box office of "Band of Seven" is bleak, especially under the market crush of the same blockbuster, the current film schedule is only 1%. Regardless of the box office, Zhu Shuyi firmly believes that "creative expression is the first".

In this interview, for the first time, she disclosed many unknown inside stories of two films.

About "Band of Seven": Tsui Hark privately changed his contract with Lin Lingdong; How Xu Anhua is loyal to Tsui Hark; Before Lin Lingdong died, he agreed to make another film with the "Iron Triangle" Tsui Hark and Du Qifeng … …

About Detective Wars: the possibility of making a sequel; The feedback from Ah Sa’s sisters who "braved the wind and waves"; Views on being shortlisted for next year’s Academy Awards … …

Since entering Galaxy Image in 2002, Zhu Shuyi has followed Du Qifeng and directed all the films made by Galaxy Image. As CEO of Galaxy Image, she also revealed the latest progress of the new film "Watching Red Light with Eyes Covered" and the latest situation of Du Dao’s new film that fans are looking forward to.Everything you want to know is here.

(The following is Zhu Shuyi’s self-report, compiled by 1905 Film Network according to the interview content)

Band of Seven was born to commemorate the film.

Seven directors abide by three conditions.

The idea of "Band of Seven" came entirely from director Du Qifeng, because the director of their time experienced the era of film, and he felt that there was almost no film to make a movie, so he wanted to make a souvenir.

The second thing he wants to express is the spirit of teamwork, which he hopes can drive a new generation of filmmakers or other peers.

The time when this project was proposed is probably around 2012 and 2013. Why did you choose these seven directors?

I think when Du Dao first started to invite, he must be the best friends around him, such as "Iron Triangle", Tsui Hark and Lin Lingdong. Choose Sammo Hung and Yuan Heping, because they are representative Hong Kong action film directors. Then there is the female director, and it must be Xu Anhua. Tan Jiaming is not a prolific director, but many Hong Kong film students learn from him, and all the film students in Hong Kong know Tan Jiaming.

The invitation process is very simple, that is, make an appointment together, chat together and promise together. They know very well why Du Dao wants to do it, but they are very frank and don’t say anything.

There are three conditions that they must abide by when making this project. The first is to shoot with film, and the second is to talk about the feelings of Hong Kong. How to express Hong Kong’s feelings? It’s better to shoot an era for everyone, but how to shoot that era? Finally, it was decided that from the 1950s, we would draw lots to choose which one to draw and which to shoot.

But if you don’t want to shoot at that time, you have the right to exchange with other directors in private. If the other director is willing to change, you will change, otherwise you will admit it. In a word, you can shoot whatever you want, but you must shoot something related to Hong Kong. Your personal feelings about that era are very free to create.

Tsui Hark changed his signature to "spoil the game"

Lin Lingdong refused to exchange the reply "No Way!"

When drawing lots, only four directors came to the scene. I put the little card’s sign on the table, and everyone took their seats when they arrived, but the position that was not there was empty. Then everyone opened the sign, and I turned it in his position if I didn’t arrive, which represented that era.

When I finished, I had to report to other directors who didn’t attend, so I told director Tsui Hark which year he won, and he had a great reaction. He said how did you smoke just now? What’s the form of drawing lots? Who can monitor the whole lottery form? How did I get this? Anyway, he really doesn’t want this sign.

He said I want to change, and you help me tell Lin Lingdong that I want to change with him. I called director Lin Lingdong, and director Lin Lingdong replied with two words, "no way", which is impossible. I told director tsui hark, and he said, well, forget it, then I’ll figure it out myself.

After that, he didn’t inform me who to change the age with. It took me a while to know that he was a very, very smart director. He said that I wouldn’t affect any of your ages, and I didn’t need to exchange any ages with you. I filmed the future, so he put himself in the end, which is the future.

Xu Anhua handed in the film the fastest and Tan Jiaming the latest.

The biggest difficulty is that the production budget is too low

The seven directors didn’t have many meetings together, and then they went to create their own works. Because they are very busy directors, and we don’t want to interfere with their original work, we just hope that it will be better and better, and it will be completed in two or three years.

Director Xu Anhua was the first to finish this short film, which was completed in 2014, and the latest one was directed by Tan Jiaming in 2019.

Director Tan Jiaming hasn’t made a film as a director for more than ten years since then. In the process of thinking about this topic, he once doubted whether he could continue, not because he didn’t keep his word, but because he had requirements for his works.

Because he didn’t always stay in Hong Kong and had to teach, he had to transfer to another school one year, and he was worried that it would affect our progress, so he was also the last to finish it.

The biggest difficulty for all directors is that the production budget is too low. The most difficult ones should be directed by Xu Anhua and Sammo Hung. Because they filmed in the 1950s and 1960s, it will be more expensive in art, because it is harder than other directors to make old things or find something old.

We spent a lot of methods and energy to buy the negative. Because of the production budget, it is estimated that the average person will shoot for three days, which is the amount of 12,000 feet of film. In the past, you can reuse or return the film if you can’t finish it. Now you can’t, and you can’t order a new one if you exceed it. Therefore, they will use the negative film more accurately, and they also control it very well.

For a shot of Tsui Hark’s short film

Xu Anhua traveled from Harbin to Beijing to Hongkong the day before.

The whole shooting process was impressed by director Xu Anhua. Director Tsui Hark asked her to play, and Xu Anhua was very helpful.

Director Xu said, you ask director Xu Anhua if she would like to play a role. I didn’t say I would satirize her, but would she be unwilling to play? Director Xu Anhua said no, she could come.

In fact, director Xu Anhua was not in Hong Kong at that time. As a result, in order to cooperate with the filming, she took a three-hour bus to Harbin the morning before the filming, then transferred to Beijing and returned to Hong Kong from Beijing, just to catch up with the filming the next day.

They are like this. You just have to say that you want me to be an actor, and I am duty-bound to solve all the difficulties myself, even if I stay up late and overcome traffic problems.

Just to shoot that shot, this professional and loyal spirit is what we should pay tribute to.

15 days before Lin Lingdong’s death, the "Iron Triangle" had a dinner.

Discuss to shoot a romantic film together and leave the last photo.

Our biggest regret is that director Lin Lingdong is gone. What is really touching is that he handed over this last work. He completely finished all the work and handed it over to us before he left.

I miss him very much today. I will never delete the WeChat between him and me in my life. Sometimes when I look at the information he gave me, I really feel prophetic. It’s strange to say something, but I didn’t expect it at that time.

Moreover, 15 days before he left, we just had dinner together. When director Tsui Hark came back to Hong Kong for dinner that day and finished the last day of the short film, we arranged for the three bosses to have dinner together.

During the dinner, I also asked the three of them to take a group photo, because it was Christmas, and all three directors said that I was always doing this, and the last thing they liked was taking pictures. At that time, I said let’s shoot it, because the three of you seldom get together. Sadly, the original one was the last photo of them.

In fact, they had agreed that they would shoot another new thing and what to shoot. They also talked for a long time, saying that romantic movies "surprise them (the audience) and we will shoot something different", and also said that it was a deal, so it was also a pity.

As far as I know, there was a project in operation before he left, and of course there was no way to finish it in the end.

For me, The Band of Seven is a historical film, unprecedented, because there is no director Lin Lingdong, so it is impossible for seven people to be together, and the tribute to the negative must be the last.

I hope that the audience can feel the strength and spirit of filmmakers, and I hope that no matter whether they are studying movies or are already film workers, they also have this initial heart.

Asa exposed Gillian to watch Detective Wars without looking at her mobile phone.

I am confident that I will be shortlisted for next year’s Academy Awards, and there should be a sequel.

"The Band of Seven" is really a kind of spirit, so "Detective Wars" is a commercial element, and it also allows director Wei Jiahui to make his first independent action film.

Director Du Qifeng hasn’t seen the film yet, and he asked me if I had a ticket for him to see it. Du Dao and Wei Dao have a very friendly relationship. He knows about this project, but that’s all. He didn’t participate. They both respect each other and have independent development, and they have always been in the same spirit.

I remember that Asa’s first reaction after reading it was that she was grateful to the director, and she thought it was very good. Moreover, she has been very excited to tell us that the sisters (teammates on "Braving the Wind and Waves") are very happy.

She said that Gillian sometimes didn’t concentrate on watching movies, and she used to play with her mobile phone at first sight. She said that she had never seen this best friend, and she didn’t take her mobile phone out at all when watching this movie.

Will there be a sequel to Detective Wars? I think besides Wei Dao, the most important thing is the boss. Bosses should all want to have two or three editions, so please look forward to it closely. There should be, I hope there will be.

You asked me if I was confident that Detective Wars would be selected for the Hong Kong Film Awards next year. I should be confident. There are still movies behind, and there are many good movies. Depending on everyone’s tastes, our performances or our scripts, I hope to be shortlisted and get good grades.

"Watching Red Light with Eyes Covered" has been submitted for trial.

I’m called "old actor" on the set.

In the past two years, Director Du has often said that no matter the main creator, production team or actors, they need to be younger and support the creation of young people.

Our next new film "Watching Red Light with Eyes Covered" (formerly known as "Red Light with Eyes Covered") was created by the creative director, and Du Dao, the director and I were the producer. With the new generation of directors making movies for the first time, we made such a sentimental film.

Several children in the movie are great. Rong Zishan is more sophisticated, and Milla is a little newer. I like Milla very much. She works very hard and has a lot of temperament. At that time, director Lawrence Ah Mon and I were casting in Beijing for a long time. I think she has a bright future. Needless to say, Rong Zishan, I called him an "old actor" at the scene, which is already very powerful, let alone now.

The story background of "Watching Red Light with Eyes Covered" is in the mainland of China. I won’t get into the details first. Its feelings are in a region and a street in the mainland. It is a relatively short and literary film. Now it is in the stage of submitting the film for review, waiting for notice.

We have a review of the defeat

Ask Du Qifeng every day, do you have any ideas for the new film?

The last movie shown in the mainland on Galaxy Image was My Boxing Boyfriend. We know very well why we want to create this movie. As for the audience’s taste and market box office, we have no control.

It is possible that the audience is not so receptive to the unrealistic way and style in the movie. We did it on purpose, but it is also true. We tried our best, and everyone was very attentive at that time, but we will also review what problems have arisen and what we can do better in the future.

In fact, Du Dao and Wei Dao often say that they have made a lot of movies that are not necessarily very good at the box office. Maybe in a few years, everyone will experience different places after watching them again.

"Gorgeous Office Worker" and "My Boxing Boyfriend" all have song and dance elements. At present, I haven’t heard that director Du Qifeng has continued to plan this type of film. He has been preparing a new film in his mind, but I dare not rush him, because I don’t want to be scolded, but I will ask him every day. Have you thought of it? Have you got it?

Over the years, Du Dao often said that at this age, it is time for him to do whatever he wants. The style of Galaxy Image is unimaginable. When he suddenly comes up with an idea, we will do our best to carry out the task.

Du Dao often said not to become an "old smooth", and the future image of the Milky Way will follow this pace. Some people will cooperate together. I believe there must be this blood spirit, even if you don’t frame your own ideas, you must have new people.

The present situation of Hong Kong films has been greatly affected and impacted by the unprecedented difficulties caused by the epidemic. As filmmakers, we just keep our initial intentions, keep our enthusiasm and keep our persistence. As long as I don’t give up, I don’t think there is any so-called low tide. It’s nothing. Let’s move on.

The vegetable market is the most smoky place in the city.

However, in recent years, with the rise and development of the market and online shopping, the traditional vegetable market faces many difficulties in its operation.

A set of data from the Vegetable Market Branch of the Municipal Commodity Exchange Market Association shows that in 2022, there were 575 vegetable markets in the city, with 41,780 businesses and 78,779 employees, with a total transaction volume of 34.9 billion yuan. Compared with 2021, the number of markets decreased by 58, the number of business households decreased by 28,654, the number of employees decreased by 45,000, and the transaction volume decreased by 11.6%.

What kind of consumption changes are reflected behind this trend? In the face of the new situation, how should the traditional vegetable market transform to seek a breakthrough and enhance the competitiveness of the industry?

On October 26th, the Municipal Commodity Exchange Market Association and the Municipal Agricultural Products Group jointly hosted a seminar on the innovation and development of Chongqing’s urban vegetable market, and invited representatives from the Municipal Commission of Commerce, the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau, the Municipal Supply and Marketing Corporation and other relevant service providers of the vegetable market to participate in the seminar, so as to jointly provide ideas and suggestions for the transformation and development of the traditional vegetable market.

There are two main reasons

The scale of traditional vegetable market has shrunk.

For a long time, the traditional vegetable market, as the main place for citizens to buy ingredients, has been loved by the people with its geographical advantages of many points and wide range and fresh, cheap and complete products. Although in recent years, large supermarkets have risen one after another, the core position of food trading in farmers’ markets has not been changed.

So what caused the scale of traditional vegetable market to shrink?

Li ke, general manager of Chongqing Supply and Marketing Fresh Chain Co., Ltd. analyzed that this is because both buyers and sellers have changed.

"First of all, the buyer has changed." Li ke said that the consumer groups who used to visit the vegetable market gradually grew old, and the main force of buying vegetables was replaced by the post-80 s and post-90 s. "This group of people grew up in the Internet era and were used to online consumption, and their sensitivity to agricultural product prices decreased. When the e-commerce platform for agricultural products developed one after another, it complied with their consumption habits, and the space of traditional vegetable markets was naturally squeezed."

From the seller’s point of view, the same is true. In the crowded market, many young people are no longer willing to engage in the traditional vegetable selling industry. "Many’ second generation vegetables’ are unwilling to take over. Who will rent our market to operate?" Li ke said.

In addition, most of the traditional vegetable markets have been operating for many years, and the facilities and equipment are gradually aging and the environment is not clean enough, which is also an important reason for the decline in consumer attractiveness.

Traditional vegetable market is irreplaceable.

But we should actively seek change.

While the scale of the traditional vegetable market is shrinking, e-commerce platforms and community group purchases are developing rapidly, and even catching up with the market is becoming increasingly popular, and roadside stalls selling vegetables are also common.

Despite this, Luo Dawen, president of the Vegetable Market Branch of the Municipal Commodity Exchange Market Association, still believes that the position of the traditional vegetable market is irreplaceable, but it should actively seek change in line with the development of the times.

Luo Dawen said that the vegetable market is an important carrier of the "vegetable basket" project and an important window of urban civilization, and plays an important role in meeting the daily needs of citizens, resettling employment, ensuring supply and stabilizing prices. In particular, the policy support has been increasing, and its main channel status and public welfare role are irreplaceable.

Relying on its own advantages, actively embracing e-commerce and realizing online and offline integrated development are considered to be the inevitable trend of innovation and development of the vegetable market.

"By linking the e-commerce platform, merchants can increase their profits and provide consumers with more efficient and convenient services, thus reversely draining the offline vegetable market." Luo Dawen said.

In this regard, Cailaobao (Chongqing) Technology Co., Ltd. has explored a road of integrated development. Founded in 2016, Cailaobao now operates 7 farmers’ markets. Taking the farmer’s market as the carrier and relying on the take-away platform, Cailaobao has become an operator supplying fresh agricultural products. Today, its market share in the take-away fresh food sector of large e-commerce platforms such as Meituan and Hungry is over 40%.

At the same time, under the online farmer’s market, Cai Laobao actively planned related activities for drainage. For example, Ranjiaba Store, a subsidiary of Anxin Food Market, held a "Pepper as a friend, you are my dish" flash event in Chinese Valentine’s Day, which attracted a large number of young consumers, and the daily passenger flow exceeded 8,000.

The vegetable market should form a joint force

Seeking resource integration and chain development

At the meeting, many people in the industry mentioned the chain of vegetable market.

Li ke said that compared with e-commerce platform and community group buying, the traditional vegetable market has its own unique advantages: merchant resources.

After years of operation and development, there are many merchants’ resources behind every farmer’s market. If we can integrate resources, warm up and complement each other’s advantages, we can greatly reduce operating costs.

At the same time, because the farmers’ market is a regional consumption place, the chain development can largely avoid the problem of horizontal competition.

Luo Dawen said that the chain development of the vegetable market can integrate supply resources through operating entities or leading merchants, and establish a more perfect supply chain system such as unified procurement, joint procurement, direct procurement at the base, distribution and distribution. It can also expand enterprises, institutions, school canteens, restaurants and other customers to provide lunch boxes and fresh ingredients, which will help the vegetable market to enhance its core competitiveness and reduce circulation costs.

"In the chain development model, we can also explore the incubation of chain merchants. Just like every shopping mall has Starbucks, KFC and other businesses, the development and growth of these merchants can bring people to the market." Li ke said.

In addition, at the meeting, some practitioners also mentioned the transformation of traditional vegetable market and the integration of service formats, such as relying on the transformation of traditional vegetable market and introducing hairdressing, dyeing and maintenance formats, which can not only improve the supporting functions of community public services, but also serve residents’ lives in depth and gather popularity for the vegetable market.

Our reporter Li Yuanyuan

General Secretary Supreme Leader’s important speech at the forum on cultural inheritance and development highly summarized the five outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, profoundly expounded the great significance of "two combinations", and clearly put forward the era tasks of continuing to promote cultural prosperity, building a cultural power and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point, which is of great practical significance for us to continuously deepen our understanding of the regularity of cultural construction, always strengthen our cultural self-confidence and build a socialist modern country in an all-round way.

1. Deeply understand and grasp the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization.

China has a long history of culture and profound Chinese civilization. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that there are many important elements in Chinese excellent traditional culture, which together shape the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization. A profound understanding and grasp of these outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization will help us to inherit the long and colorful Chinese civilization and build a modern Chinese civilization.

Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity. Chinese civilization is the only uninterrupted civilization in the world, which can be called a miracle in the history of human civilization. Chinese civilization has a long history. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China’s ancient culture contended and flourished unprecedentedly, which laid the foundation and trend of China culture. The Qin dynasty achieved great unity, and the culture of the Han Dynasty, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties continued and flourished. Since modern times, the cultural exchanges between China and the West have been deepening, which has not only enriched Chinese civilization, but also promoted the harmonious development of world civilization. Chinese civilization has outstanding continuity, which "fundamentally determines that the Chinese nation must follow its own path". Only when we know China from the long history and cultural continuity can we deeply understand ancient China, modern China and future China.

Chinese civilization has outstanding innovation. In the long history of more than 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has shown a strong spirit of innovation and creativity. From art to science and technology, from ideas to artifacts, from culture to system, they have created brilliant history and brilliant achievements. Ideologically, Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi and other world-famous thinkers have emerged. In science and technology, the four great inventions have profoundly influenced the process of human civilization; In the history of architecture, great projects such as Wan Li Great Wall, Dujiangyan and Forbidden City have been produced. In culture and art, he created great works such as the Book of Songs, Han Fu, Tang Poetry, Song Ci, Yuan Qu, Ming and Qing novels. The famous reforms of Shang Yang, Wang Anshi and the Reform Movement of 1898 in Chinese history all reflected the innovative consciousness of the Chinese nation. The outstanding innovation of Chinese civilization "fundamentally determines the enterprising spirit of the Chinese nation, respecting the past and not retro, and determines the fearless character of the Chinese nation that is not afraid of new challenges and is brave in accepting new things".

Chinese civilization has outstanding unity. The long and splendid Chinese civilization has become the spiritual bond that unites the Chinese nation. Both Mencius’s "Unity in One" and Dong Zhongshu’s "Unity in Spring and Autumn" regard unity as the most important and persistent content in China’s political tradition. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the idea of great unification has gradually occupied the core position of Chinese culture and is rooted in people’s hearts. All ethnic groups in China believe that division will ruin the country and destroy lives, while reunification will share peace and live and work in peace. Driven by this kind of thought and belief, although China has suffered from wars and divisions repeatedly in history, it still takes the pursuit and realization of reunification as the normal state of development. All ethnic groups live together and watch each other, gradually forming a harmonious relationship. The outstanding unity of Chinese civilization fundamentally "determines the common belief that the territory is inseparable, the country cannot be chaotic, the nation cannot be separated and civilization cannot be broken, determines that national unity is always the core of China’s core interests, and determines that a strong and unified country is the fate of people of all ethnic groups".

Chinese civilization has outstanding inclusiveness. Chinese civilization is broad and profound, advocating mutual respect, tolerance and learning among different cultural forms, and never rejecting any foreign culture. It can be said that pluralism and tolerance are one of the core values of Chinese civilization. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucianism, Taoism, Legalism and Mohism contended and created a splendid pre-Qin culture. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced into China and soon became an integral part of Chinese culture. In history, the nomadic people in the north entered the mainland several times, and the cultures of all ethnic minorities were later integrated into the Chinese family. The ancient Silk Road has built a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and countries and regions along the route, and the achievements of civilization created by various countries have gradually become an element of Chinese culture. After Marxism was introduced into China, as a foreign culture, it was organically combined with Chinese excellent traditional culture, and Marxism was China-oriented. The outstanding inclusiveness of Chinese civilization "fundamentally determines the historical orientation of the Chinese nation’s exchanges and exchanges, determines the harmonious pattern of the coexistence of various religious beliefs in China, and determines the Chinese culture’s open mind to all world civilizations".

Chinese civilization has outstanding peace. The Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation, and China culture advocates harmony. Peace, harmony and harmony are the concepts that the Chinese nation has been pursuing and inheriting, and being kind to neighbors and being a family under the sun is the way that the Chinese nation has always pursued. All the dynasties in China took "peace and prosperity" as the highest goal of governing the country, and "harmony among all nations" as the way to deal with the relations between different ethnic groups and countries. There is no gene in the blood of the Chinese nation to invade others and claim hegemony. What Chinese civilization advocates is to cherish the world, establish oneself, uphold justice and uphold justice. The outstanding peace of Chinese civilization "fundamentally determines that China will always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development and a defender of international order".

2. Deeply understanding and grasping the "two combinations" is "the greatest magic weapon for our success"

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out: "It is the only way to open up and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics on the profound foundation of Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years, and to combine the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture. This is our regular understanding in exploring the road to Socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest magic weapon for our success. " A profound understanding and grasp of this important conclusion will help us to constantly cultivate and create Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture in the new era and promote the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

"Two combinations" make "Marxism become China’s". Marxism is an irrefutable truth with universal applicability. But as Engels said, "Marx’s whole world outlook is not a doctrine, but a method." Marxism must be combined with the specific reality and historical and cultural traditions of various countries in order to show its vigorous vitality and vitality. During the various historical periods of China’s revolution, construction and reform, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people persisted in combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s concrete reality, continued to promote the modernization of Marxism in China, and created one miracle after another. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with the great historical initiative, our party has continuously deepened its understanding of communist party’s laws of governance, socialist construction and the development of human society, and more consciously realized that upholding and developing Marxism in the new era must be further combined with Chinese excellent traditional culture.

In the process of promoting the "second combination", our party has activated the long-standing Chinese civilization with the power of Marxist truth, promoted the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture with scientific standpoints and methods, and made the Chinese civilization glow with vitality again. At the same time, China’s excellent traditional culture also enriches Marxism with cultural nourishment, endows China Marxism with "a certain national form" and "China characteristics", and endows it with distinctive China style, China style and era connotation. The "two combinations" have created a new cultural life, making Marxism not only China’s, but also the era’s, allowing us to master the initiative of thought and culture, better use the "arrow" of Marxism to shoot the "right" of contemporary China, timely answer the major theoretical and practical problems facing the new era, and better use Marxism to lead the prosperity and development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics culture and promote the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

"Two combinations" make "Chinese excellent traditional culture modern". Chinese civilization has lasted for more than 5,000 years. Today, in order to better adapt to the modernization drive, exchange and learn from other countries’ civilizations on the international stage, show its permanent charm in the world, and make Chinese excellent traditional culture not only ancient and China, but also modern and world-wide, it needs to be further combined with Marxism. Only through the "two combinations", especially the use of Marxist standpoints and methods, can we strengthen the excavation and interpretation of Chinese excellent traditional culture and carry forward the Chinese civilization that spans time and space, transcends national boundaries and is full of eternal charm, so that it can cross time and space, show its global value and highlight the world significance of Chinese excellent traditional culture.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in the historical process of promoting "two combinations", Chinese excellent traditional culture has been endowed with brand-new connotation of the times through creative transformation and innovative development, adapting to contemporary culture and coordinating with modern society, showing distinctive contemporary value. In the new era, our Party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese modernization, and provided China’s plan and China’s wisdom for human modernization, among which the rich ideas, humanistic spirit and moral norms contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture are condensed, making Chinese excellent traditional culture go to the world in a subtle way. At the same time, our party has also integrated the values of China’s excellent traditional culture into the diplomacy of big countries, promoted the building of a community of human destiny, and promoted China’s excellent traditional culture to become world-wide and modern, laying a solid foundation for us to build a new form of human civilization and a modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

"Two combinations" formed and sublimated Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road, theory, system and culture. Our party has always insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China, which undoubtedly includes the reality of China culture in different periods. After the socialist transformation was basically completed, when Comrade Mao Zedong began to explore the road of "Chinese-style" socialist construction, he proposed "the second combination". At the beginning of reform and opening up, Comrade Deng Xiaoping clearly put forward: "Combine the universal truth of Marxism with the concrete reality of our country, take our own road and build socialism with China characteristics." Our party led the people to push forward the reform and opening-up, and formed Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s road, theory, system and culture.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, with the Supreme Leader as the main representative, have insisted on combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, put forward a series of original new ideas, new ideas and new strategies for governing the country, and wrote a new chapter in the modernization of Marxism in China. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the New Era, rooted in China’s excellent traditional culture and based on the great practice of contemporary China, is contemporary China Marxism and 21st century Marxism. It is the essence of Chinese culture, which contains distinctive Chinese cultural characteristics and eternal Chinese cultural values, and provides spiritual motivation and fundamental follow-up for the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture and the construction of Chinese modern civilization.

The "two combinations" not only laid a solid foundation for the road, but also extended the cultural foundation of the road in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, giving Chinese modernization a profound cultural support. The "two combinations" allow us to make full use of the precious resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture in a broader cultural space and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations. It is a profound summary of our party’s historical experience in the modernization of Marxism in China and a profound grasp of the law of the development of Chinese civilization, indicating that our party’s understanding of China’s roads, theories and systems has reached a new height, indicating that our party’s historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height, indicating that our party has promoted cultural innovation in inheriting Chinese excellent traditional culture.

3. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new historical starting point

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has continuously deepened his understanding of the regularity of socialist cultural construction, and put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions.
