What happened behind Zhang Songwen's statement? Why have big celebrities started to "argue" with small businesses? Photo | Product | Enterprise

Yesterday afternoon at around 6pm, actor Zhang Songwen's studio, "Zhang Songwen Performance Studio," publicly cracked down on counterfeits on Weibo, posting multiple photos of products using Zhang Songwen's portrait and a "solemn statement," stating that Zhang Songwen's officially signed cooperative brands are only Hailan Home and Xiaomi, and any unauthorized use of his portrait's products by others constitutes infringement. Zhang Songwen is not the first performer in recent years to use the law to defend the right to portrait. In the past, some small businesses, especially online sales companies, used the image of performers to advertise their products, but not many were sued. Nowadays, many well-known actors are suing infringing companies, making it difficult for some people to understand: why did big stars "fight" against small businesses? According to industry insiders, entertainers are increasingly valuing the issue of being endorsed, partly due to the importance of

The main reason why Lu Xun actively engaged in art activities was to inspire, educate, guide, and liberate the people through art.

"In a sense, my writing is a product of the broadcasting era. The continuous broadcast of long novels on the radio is the enlightenment lesson of my novels, and the voice also contains value and exploration of the world." Writer Sun Ganlu recently won the 11th Mao Dun Literature Award for her novel "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", becoming the third Shanghai writer to receive this honor.

Facing the Huangpu River, on the evening of August 15th, on the eve of the opening of the 2023 Shanghai Book Fair and "Bookish China" Shanghai Week, the 10th Shanghai International Literature Week summoned Chinese and foreign literary writers with the theme of "Narrative Community". "Community can also be translated as community or home. This is a world-class gathering of literary relatives and friends. As an old Shanghainese, I welcome everyone back home." Shanghai Jiao Tong University professor Wu Jun, who hosted the first half of the forum at Jiantou Bookstore, gave a warm opening speech. In the eyes of writer and scholar Chen Fumin, the function and content of "narrative community" are far more open than the concept itself. "When we use the concept of 'narrative community', it first indicates a crisis situation in literary writing. In the past, the dependence of civilization expression and literary narrative on words was almost absolute, and we are very..."

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, "Up and Down Five Thousand Years" published in Shanghai pioneered the trend of "telling history through stories". As the first popular historical reading material for young children in New China, it accompanied several generations of readers and sold well for more than 40 years, with a cumulative sales volume exceeding 10 million sets. In China, there is still no set of popular children's history books that can withstand such a long period of testing and have such a significant social impact as "Up and Down 5000 Years". Therefore, "Up and Down 5000 Years" is known as the "first brand" in the field of children's history books in China. How does "First Brand" adapt to the reading needs of the new generation of children? As a heavyweight new book that debuted at the 2023 Shanghai Book Fair, the New Era Edition of "Up and Down 5000 Years" was recently launched by Children's Publishing House.
