00:00:14Channel.
00:00:37Our country's first river-sea combined transportation project has been completed
00:00:41and is open
00:00:41to traffic.
00:00:48New economic growth period. How to balance cost and efficiency? From an engineering perspective,
00:00:52there is nothing that cannot be done, it's just a matter of cost. How to
00:00:55integrate the current situation and the future? If it can be used for
00:00:5920 years, it will be guaranteed, but after 5 years,
00:01:03a pile of ships are waiting and cannot pass, I think this is very embarrassing.
00:01:07Face-to-face exclusive interview with Wu Peng, the chief design and technical person in charge
00:01:10of the Pinglu Canal
00:01:11.
00:02:01On September 16, the Pinglu Canal was completed and opened to traffic.
00:02:04This is our country's first
00:02:08national-level coordinated construction of a river-sea combined transportation project .
00:02:11Construction started in August 2022, with a total project investment of
00:02:1572.72 billion yuan. From Xijin Reservoir
00:02:19in Hengzhou City, Nanning, Guangxi to Pingtang River Estuary, it enters
00:02:23Beibu Gulf along Qing River from Luwu Town, Lingshan County, Qinzhou City, Guangxi,
00:02:26with a total length of 133 kilometers.
00:04:18The great vision of connecting rivers and seas by Zhongshan at the beginning of the last century
00:04:26after the Pinglu Canal was carried on by generations
00:04:30This hundred-year vision has received attention because of
00:04:34the geographical bottleneck that Guangxi has faced in its long-term development.
00:04:38Despite having the natural deep-water port of Beibu Gulf,
00:04:42the cities and regions within its borders are high in the west and low in the east, and most rivers
00:04:46flow from west to east into the Pearl River Delta, rather than
00:04:49directly south to the sea, leading to the awkward situation of having a sea but not being able
00:04:53to reach it. Inland river navigation can only bypass
00:04:57to Guangdong to go to
00:05:00the project was approved and ready to start, they found an old comrade
00:05:04who had done full-line surveying in 1968.
00:05:08They went to interview him and took me with them.
00:12:25Just be
00:12:25bold
00:12:29and design a bit more. They felt that the optimistic situation you mentioned also had risks. What if it can't be achieved? Would my investment
00:12:33be wasted
00:12:35?
00:12:40Madao Head. Madao Head. Later, they changed it in a unified way in
00:12:44which year. It sounds bad.
00:12:48Madao Head, Qishi Cave.
00:12:52Madao Qishi Youth. Hmm.
00:12:55The Pinglu Canal has three locks: Madao, Qishi, and
00:12:59Youth. These three locks are arranged from upstream
00:13:03to downstream and are the core controlling
00:13:06engineering for ensuring ship navigation from river to sea. According to the first-class
00:13:10inland waterway standard, it is equipped with double-line 5,000-ton
00:13:14ship locks, which can accommodate 5-ton inland bulk
00:13:18carriers. The estuary section can also accommodate 3,000-ton
00:13:21sea vessels, which is our country's longest.
00:13:55At that time, the 2000-ton waterway was basically open,
00:13:59from Nanning all the way to the border between Guangxi
00:14:03and Guangdong. And then, the lowest section
00:14:06was already being implemented for 3000-ton class. And then Guangxi also wanted to
00:14:10plan it as a 3A class waterway. So, my proposal of
00:14:145000 tons at that time met with considerable resistance. Why did you propose
00:14:185000? Below is my reasoning. First,
00:14:22they said according to the plan, it's 3000 tons. No one disagrees.
00:14:25I then asked, what do you mean by 3000 tons?
00:14:29Does it mean that even at the shallowest water level, a 3000-ton
00:14:33ship can still be fully loaded and move with full cargo?
00:14:36Then how many days are the shallowest? Strictly speaking,
00:14:40not many days. Then, the water volume increased, and then the water depth
00:14:44began to increase. If this river,
00:14:47half the time, it can accommodate a 5000-ton ship at full draft.
00:14:51Then half the time, it cannot be fully loaded.
00:17:37You have to pressure me, and you have to make sense.
00:17:40Because the total amount of water resources
00:17:44in the linear basin is relatively small, and water shortage is obvious during the dry season,
00:17:47how to conserve water became an important issue for Wu Peng and his team members.
00:17:51For this reason, all three
00:17:55navigation locks on the Pinglu Canal adopted extremely strict
00:17:59water-saving measures. The Madao Qishi lock
00:18:03uses the world's first three-stage overlapping water-saving chamber
00:18:06locks.
00:18:27Is it difficult to complete this water-saving task?
00:18:31If I had to put it in a simple way, if I could think of a few levels, for example, if he had more requirements, then
00:19:38it would become more difficult. You just said at the beginning that you wanted to do something difficult
00:19:42and big in this industry. Now this thing is both big and difficult
00:19:46in this project, and you succeeded. And its changes
00:19:50are also huge and far-reaching. What do you feel
00:19:54after finishing it? It gave me the motivation or confidence
00:19:57to continue looking for more difficult projects.
00:20:01。
00:20:37After his Pinglu Canal was opened,
00:20:41it actually gave Guangxi an outlet to the sea,
00:20:45changing the entire long-term existence of a place.
00:20:49期 存 。
00:22:50The predecessors did a very good job, they built it up step by step,
00:22:54I cannot let it fall apart at my step.
00:22:57Face-to-face exclusive interview with
00:23:00Mu Zhengyang, the screenwriter and director of the animated film The Eight Immortals.
00:23:21During the recently concluded summer vacation, the domestic animated film Eight Immortals
00:23:25became a dark horse in the market, with box office continuing to soar.
00:23:29For many viewers, this work, which combines market popularity
00:23:33and cultural expression, has creators who are not
00:23:36widely known.
00:23:38。
00:23:45Either stand up. This issue of Face to Face came to Oriental DreamWorks
00:23:49to conduct an exclusive interview with Mu Zhengyang, the director and screenwriter
00:23:52of The Eight Immortals. Will you check
00:23:56the movie box office numbers every day and get emotional? I will look, but
00:23:59I don't stare at it every day.
00:24:01。
00:24:10Mu Zhengyang, from Dalian, Liaoning, was born in
00:24:141992. Eight Immortals is his first independently directed animated
00:24:18feature film.
00:26:53this movie, kept thinking that in the past we all thought that gods descending from heaven
00:26:57could help us relieve all kinds of suffering.
00:27:01Later, when you were in,
00:27:07it's a kind of mutual assistance when people are in danger. In fact, it's mutual assistance among ordinary people.
00:27:11Right. And this is also what I think Chinese people can most
00:27:15empathize with, a kind of emotion. In fact, it's the moment when these eight people stand by the sea
00:27:18and walk forward against the surging waves
00:27:22in front of them.
00:27:23。
00:27:27The refreshing feeling of achieving unity.
00:27:28。
00:28:02He may already be very tired in life, or even have his own
00:28:06difficulties, but at many times, at that moment, he suddenly
00:28:10makes a choice, and after he makes it, he disappears from the public's
00:28:14view.
00:28:18This is actually what I think the Eight Immortals team should possess, this kind of charm,
00:28:21and it is also a principle that we firmly upheld when making this film.
00:28:25。
00:28:28To tell the story of ordinary heroes well, we cannot just apply the concept of a
00:28:32deity.
00:29:08When we first started, we were very clear that this was a story of national culture. The entire Eight Immortals, Fulu Shou Sanxing, are all part of this culture. is a part
00:29:11of it.
00:29:16It is a culture that is popular among the common people, the grassroots.
00:29:19So it is decided why everyone sees these colors,
00:29:23some are crispy and powdery,
00:29:27some are like Fulu Shou Sanxing, they are all very pure.
00:29:30,
00:30:04Actually, we decided early on to fight Yang. We confirmed very early on
00:30:08that we would fight Yang. How to win? Indeed,
00:30:11some people said, "Director, why don't we change the setting? Let them have some magical powers,
00:30:15or let someone give them some guidance."
00:30:18。
00:30:25It's gone. Yeah. 800 ordinary people.
00:30:29。
00:31:48The high-speed fight scene of the Eight Immortals was a key focus for
00:31:51the team to polish. It consumed a huge amount of creative and post-production effort
00:31:55throughout the whole process. As national mythical figures,
00:31:59Nezha and Sun Wukong are inherently talented
00:32:03and powerful. Their fighting focuses on showcasing their awe-inspiring heroic spirit,
00:32:07while the Eight Immortals are a group of ordinary people
00:32:11without divine powers. Although they have martial arts directors,
00:32:45My earliest general policy for the two martial arts directors was that it must
00:32:48be a battle of ordinary people, so they could only
00:32:52use traditional martial arts, and it had to be traditional.
00:32:56传 统 的
00:32:56。
00:33:03Facing such a god of war, we can only use our flesh and
00:33:07blood to fight him head-on, like moths flying
00:33:11into a fire, there's no other way.
00:33:27To fully present the tension of this scene, Mu Zhengyang specifically increased the number of shots to focus on the details of Zhou Xuan's struggle, fully showcasing the struggle and determination of the Eight Immortals
00:33:31to face power as mortals.
00:33:32。
00:33:38From the very beginning.
00:33:39。
00:34:15It happens often, basically every环节 is a struggle with all one's might.
00:34:18。
00:34:21Your all-out effort is the best stimulant
00:34:25for all the creators. How many hours a day can you work?
00:34:29As long as I wake up in the morning and have work, I can work until night,
00:34:32until the last one leaves, and I don't feel particularly tired. Also,
00:34:36this enthusiasm also includes my true love for it.
00:34:40。
00:34:43I like traditional Chinese mythology.
00:38:31You guys
00:38:34look. After countless divergences and
00:38:37tribulations, the eight ordinary people, each with their own flaws,
00:38:41finally gathered at the seaside.
00:38:45Letting go of their past inner demons, regardless of their differences, they decided
00:38:48to join forces and jointly face the crisis.
00:38:51。
00:39:39When the team appeared at the end, it was very bright and full of hope.
00:39:42Everyone felt that this feeling was not strong enough at that time,
00:39:46meaning it was not sufficient. So this
00:39:50scene was
00:39:52completely redone, which means what was done before was not wasted.
00:39:56做 。
00:40:57But your experience remains, you know how to do better now,
00:41:01and the existence of this industrial system makes everyone believe that such a better
00:41:05opportunity is possible. Many people will approach it with this attitude,
00:41:09so everyone will be willing to go for it. Especially when
00:41:13I was making The Eight Immortals, I could feel that as long as you give it time and effort,
00:41:17it visibly gets better and better. This is a very profound
00:41:20experience for me. So when you have this feeling, you won't give up any
00:41:24opportunity to make it better. Through your narration.
00:43:10I won't drop it here, this is my real thought.
00:43:13What kind of experience in your life experience
00:43:17can you share with more young animators, to make them
00:43:21willing to go further? I often tell my team that I hope the audience
00:43:25will look back in ten or twenty years and still feel that
00:43:29Director Mu Zhengyang was very sincere and
00:43:33did not interact. So I will say, we must do
00:43:37better in the future, we must be even better.
00:44:10Enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival at this moment.
00:44:11。
00:44:15CCTV's 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. With respect, live
00:44:18a lifetime. Blue Moon.
