Black Spade calls for family offices to increase their focus on digital assets and emerging industries

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Black Spade Capital Limited (“Black Spade”) recommends that family offices place stronger emphasis on mainstream digital assets, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics-related funds, stocks or ETFs, as these three sectors are poised to become the core drivers of future economic growth. With the deepening of digitalization and intelligent technologies, traditional industries that integrate these emerging innovations can not only significantly boost productivity but also greatly enhance operational efficiency —helping businesses maintain a competitive edge in an increasingly fierce market.Recently, Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade attended a private meeting with renowned investor Ms. Catherine Wood, CEO and CIO of Ark Invest to explore cutting-edge trends within her investment portfolio. Ms. Wood has made forward-looking investments in areas such as AI, robotics, blockchain applications, energy storage, and cellular sequencing. Companies in these sectors are seen as having tremendous growth potential and represent key opportunities within the wave of technological advancement. Funds under her management are widely regarded as crucial investment portfolio for capturing the upside that innovation brings.Mr. Tam remarked that family offices should adjust their asset allocations based on their own risk tolerance level and make room for stocks or ETFs in these emerging industries which not only support their development but also to pursue higher returns. Ms. Wood also forecasted that by around 2030, the value of Bitcoin could reach USD1.5 million while Ethereum might rise to USD166,000 — reflecting her strong confidence in the future growth of cryptocurrencies. Mr. Tam believes that digital assets will gradually become a widely accepted new asset class and enter mainstream financial markets. Currently, although only less than 5% of investors have deep knowledge of this field, an increasing number of banks and government investment institutions are actively embracing the trend, creating strong market momentum.In summary, Black Spade Capital believes that family offices should act fast under the backdrop of changing times and proactively invest in funds, stocks and ETFs related to mainstream digital assets, AI, and robotics. In addition to driving future economic and technological development, these three sectors will also serve as key pillars for enhancing efficiency and competitiveness in traditional industries. Through scientific and rational asset allocation, family offices can not only improve investment returns but also participate in the next wave of the technological revolution.Photo caption: From the left: Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade and Ms. Catherine Wood, CEO and CIO of Ark InvestAbout Black Spade Capital Limited Black Spade Capital Limited is an established family office that manages the private investments of Mr. Lawrence Ho.

科技产业基础+AI 前瞻布局组合拳 联控半年纯利大涨144%

香港, 2025年8月29日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 据香港财华社报道,近期港股市场震荡上行后出现调整态势,恒指于8月25日盘中触及25,918.86点,创下近四年新高,科技股一度成为上行重要力量,但次日三大指数集体调整,这也反映了市场情绪开始趋于谨慎,以及对政策效果持续性和基本面实质改善的后期观望态度。8月中下旬,港股中报密集披露,市场焦点从"预期"转向"兑现"。业绩超预期、指引上修的个股有望继续受益,而这其中就包括笔者长期关注的,以产业运营与投资为主业的联想控股(3396.HK)。业绩公告显示,联想控股上半年收入2815.89亿元(人民币,下同),同比增长21%;净利润41.76亿元,同比增长49%;归母净利润6.99亿元,同比录得高达144%的大幅增长。公司表示,这归因于产业运营板块主要企业的盈利能力持续改善,以及产业孵化与投资板块投资业务亏损同比收窄。除了突出的业绩表现,上半年以来,联控活跃的股价表现也能从侧面反映出,公司得到了比以往更多的市场关注。比较集中的两次大涨,分别受益于年初DeepSeek和具身智能成为市场关注点;以及7月至今,受A股上涨带动,科技、医药等板块表现活跃。由此不难看出,联控在AI、医药等科技领域的投资布局又一次站在了市场风向的前沿,同时依托企业本身的产业基础,这套组合拳体现了公司战略的韧性与前瞻性。夯实产业基础 引领绿色发展文章开头提到公司业绩大涨受益于产业运营板块主要企业的盈利改善,而这里面最为突出的就是旗下的联想集团。最新数据显示,2025/26财年第一季度,联想集团个人电脑业务表现强劲,市场份额创下24.6%的历史新高;同时AI PC渗透率持续提升,在Windows AI PC类别中稳居全球第一,市场份额达31%;此外,联想集团的多元化增长引擎也保持动力,非个人电脑业务的占比进一步提升至48%,并持续维持高利润率水平。此外,联控也持续响应绿色发展的政策方向,旗下联泓新科坚持以绿色技术引领绿色产业,目前新投产项目正逐渐进入产能释放阶段,其新布局的绿色产业项目如超高分子量聚乙烯锂电隔膜材料、碳酸酯锂电溶剂、PLA等项目均已进入产能爬坡期,而EVA、POE光伏胶膜料和PPC项目计划则将于2025年建成投产。从中可以看到,稳健的产业基础始终是支撑联控业绩稳中有升的重要基石,预计来自多方面的增长动力将进一步提升其未来盈利能力。持续深耕AI领域 领先布局具身智能能够把握住资本市场的风口,受到科技板块本轮上涨趋势的带动,也离不开联控对于当下科创核心竞争领域——人工智能的领先布局与持续深耕。公开资料显示,联控体系近年来一直加大在人工智能的布局和应用推广,并致力于构建AI+应用生态圈,目前已累计投资AI企业超270家,是当下在AI投资领域体系最完整、企业数目最多、持续时间最长的投资机构之一。与此同时,联控围绕"人工智能+"行动,在AI与科技、产业、消费、民生、治理及全球合作六个重点领域的融合上,都有代表性案例。诸如被投企业百图生科上半年发布了全球首个AI生命科学基础大模型驱动的生成式发现系统,华翊量子研发了世界首个基于二维离子量子比特阵列的通用离子阱量子计算技术架构,图灵量子则参与建设了国内首个量子人工智能计算中心。上半年,联想集团还推出了自研的超级智能体矩阵,面向制造业、农业、企业需求等多个领域。现阶段,超级智能体已嵌入到联想的产品中,并成功与头部企业和代表性城市落地业务合作。与此同时,AI领域的下一个风口也已显现。4月发布的《2025人形机器人与具身智能产业研究报告》指出,预计到2030年,我国具身智能市场规模将达1037.52亿元,占全球市场比重近半,达到44.6%。而联控及旗下成员企业通过自主研发、股权投资等方式,一早已实现了在该新兴领域从上游核心技术到中游机器人本体制造再到下游应用落地的多元化布局。以联控体系所投企业星动纪元打造的端到端原生机器人大模型ERA-42为例,这款具身智能通用大模型具备强大的泛化、自适应和规模化能力,结合星动纪元为AI打造的全新硬件平台,可以快速实现具身智能体软硬件协同进化和商业化落地。联想集团打造的联想晨星机器人则已经能够为工业应用提供高效智能的解决方案,帮助国家电网、中烟集团等工业制造企业在多个场景下实现高效安全作业。目前,联控在具身智能领域的投资企业已达40家,位列行业前沿,这一高效布局不仅斩获了资本市场的关注与认可,笔者看来也将同样为公司带来长远的效能释放。聚焦科技创新研发 加速实现资源回流研发投入一直是联控聚焦的重心,半年报数据显示,公司持续加大技术研发和创新投入力度,上半年研发投入同比增长16%至85.13亿元,再创半年历史新高。除了研发投入,这家公司也始终专注于技术攻坚,目前与中国科学院相关院所共同开发的相关课题被国家科学技术部列入了国家重点研发计划,正在开展的PEEK(聚醚醚酮)相关技术开发则在医疗、半导体、人形机器人等高端新兴领域具有广阔发展前景。正如联想控股副总裁、前瞻技术研究院院长于浩早前在接受新华社采访时所表示,长期研发投入和技术自主化攻坚,共同构成了联想控股在科技创新发展之路上不可或缺的关键词。从目前的情况来看,一方面资本市场前期动荡对该公司公允价值造成的不利影响,已随着大市环境的回暖与公司投资亏损的收窄而不断改善;另一方面,接下来更值得投资者与市场关注的,是联控聚焦科技主业、剥离非核心资产的进度。据笔者观察,近年来联控持续优化投资组合,回笼投资资金,自2022年以来,公司通过分红和退出方式累计回流现金超270亿元,有力地支持了公司对科技创新的前瞻性投入和布局。随着科技创新引领高质量发展的战略不断推进,联控进一步加速实现资源回流,今年上半年通过分红和退出的方式共计回流现金35亿元。与此同时,回流资金也被用于进一步聚焦主业,上半年新投和追加投资中国科技企业超50家,以此形成了能够持续提高公司投资效率、强化科技创新整体布局的良性闭环。从坚实稳健的产业基础盘,到长期耕耘的科创前瞻布局体系,联控可以说不仅走得稳,也一直走在市场的前沿。而目前,该公司正处于推进转型和价值重塑的关键时期,上半年取得的成绩也进一步证实了联控的战略眼光和运营实力。值得投资者期待的是,在其深化"科技创新、产业运营"战略的良性节奏推动下,联想控股将能够继续强化其产业协同和资源整合能力,优化资源配置的显性与长期价值,从而有望进一步提升估值空间,释放增长势能。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

偷窃被捕提供了奥斯汀·巴特勒电影巨星地位迄今最强有力的证明 Latest News

偷窃被捕提供了奥斯汀·巴特勒电影巨星地位迄今最强有力的证明

(SeaPRwire) - 每当奥斯汀·巴特勒(Austin Butler)出现在银幕上时,他通常都在做一件事。 在电影《Elvis》中扮演猫王,他如此深入角色,以至于在镜头之外,他似乎也永远不会停止用普雷斯利(Presley)深沉的南方口音说话。在《Dune: Part Two》中饰演哈克南(Harkonnen)家族的“裙带关系宝宝”菲德-罗萨(Feyd-Rautha),他展现出北欧口音和精神病态的眼神。在《The Bikeriders》中,他扮演了一个冷淡、难以捉摸、带有近乎神话色彩的“飞车党”角色。此外,他还出演了《Eddington》,并在《The Manson Family》中饰演曼森(Manson)家族的一员。 这就是为什么在奥斯汀·巴特勒(Austin Butler)这部根据查理·赫斯顿(Charlie Huston)小说改编、背景设定在90年代的电影《Caught Stealing》中,他饰演了一个本质上普通的家伙——汉克·汤普森(Hank Thompson),这显得如此引人注目。这也许是他电影明星地位迄今为止最伟大的证明。 汉克(Hank)曾是一名棒球明星,现在在下东区(Lower East Side)的一家低档酒吧工作。他与一位名叫伊冯娜(Yvonne,由佐伊·克拉维茨 Zoë Kravitz 饰演)的火辣急救员约会,并酗酒麻痹过去事故带来的痛苦,但总体而言,他是一个甜美、典型的美国男孩。他不停地给母亲打电话。他对街区里的无家可归者也很好。 正因如此,当汉克被要求照顾一只名叫巴德(Bud)的猫时,他的世界被彻底颠覆了,这只猫属于他的朋克风格的英国邻居拉斯(Russ),拉斯陷入了一个非常糟糕的困境。拉斯离城去看望他病重的父亲,这意味着当来自全市各地的愤怒歹徒来找他时,汉克就成了他们找到的人。 在整部电影中,巴特勒(Butler)被要求在混乱和暴力围绕他时保持一股稳定的力量。他只是一个试图过普通生活的普通人,却卷入了一场糟糕的境地,这意味着他现在任由一群情绪激动、暴力倾向的东欧人、哈西德派暴徒以及巴德·邦尼(Bad Bunny)性gan地挥舞着手枪摆布。在一个片段中,这位又名贝尼托·安东尼奥·马丁内斯·奥卡西奥(Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio)的说唱歌手,对衣衫不整的巴特勒进行了浮夸的威胁。 尽管巴特勒(Butler)被所有这些狂野的角色包围,他却几乎总是银幕上最引人入胜的人。即使在这些绝望的环境中,他仍赋予汉克(Hank)一种轻松自如的感觉,那种胜利者的姿态,就像人们期望的那位拥有超凡运动能力的加利福尼亚人一样。最重要的是,他是一个讨人喜欢的人,尽管他正在处理埋藏在心底的情感创伤和一系列当前的伤病。 《Caught Stealing》展现了巴特勒(Butler)在他成年后的职业生涯中首次真正舒适地利用他天生的英俊和魅力在银幕上发挥优势。 巴特勒(Butler)刚出道时,因为他金童般的外貌,被安排扮演传统的男主角角色。例如,在《The Carrie Diaries》中,他饰演塞巴斯蒂安·基德(Sebastian Kydd),一个年轻的凯莉·布拉德肖(Carrie Bradshaw)的“早期大先生”。他的主要工作就是当女主角为他倾心时,他散发着迷人的魅力。 随着巴特勒(Butler)作为一位所谓的“严肃演员”声名鹊起,他似乎最渴望的是改造自己,通过沉浸在角色中,掩盖了他个人的魅力以及真实生活中的自我。这并不是说他把自己变丑了——猫王当然是最初的青少年偶像——但他试图让自己沉浸其中。巴特勒(Butler)最近承认,他正在努力摒弃他的方法派表演方式。他透露,他偶然遇到的劳拉·邓恩(Laura Dern)正在帮助他学习如何将自己从那些更耗费心力的角色中抽离出来。“她正越来越多地帮助我认识到,你可以走出另一边,也许你的一些部分已经愈合、融合和代谢了,”他说。“这在某种程度上可以起到治疗作用。” 这个全新、更放松的巴特勒(Butler)在《Caught Stealing》中得以展现。他的表演依然充满张力——毕竟他在动作戏中多次受伤流血、遍体鳞伤——但也渴望吸引观众而非将他们拒之门外。他希望观众能站在他和汉克(Hank)这边,从而比以往任何时候都更具魅力。即使在他喝醉时,那也感觉像是角色内心深处创伤的自然流露。最伟大的电影明星是那些将自身纯粹的技艺与某种难以言喻的光芒相结合的人。巴特勒(Butler)现在已充分证明他是一位技术精湛的演员,能够像猫王(Elvis)或菲德-罗萨(Feyd-Rautha)一样融入角色。《Caught Stealing》则表明,当他不隐藏自己奥斯汀·巴特勒(Austin Butler)式的特质时,他同样能够引人入胜。这对他作为好莱坞中坚力量的长期未来而言是一个好兆头。他真的无所不能。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Ford CEO 吉姆·法利:实体经济的生产力差距应令所有人担忧 Latest News

Ford CEO 吉姆·法利:实体经济的生产力差距应令所有人担忧

(SeaPRwire) - 我在 Hill and Vaughn 工作期间完成了商学院的学业,这是一家由美国第一位 Formula One 冠军赛车手 Phil Hill 和收藏家 Ken Vaughn 创立的经典汽车修复店。 在那里,我主要从事内饰工作,缝制蛙皮、水牛皮以及你能想象到的各种材料。但我也曾是一名机械师,从 Henry Ford 时代起,我就一直在重建发动机并修理使汽车运行的许多部件和系统。像许多美国人一样,我通过亲手实践来学习。 作为一名 CEO,我每天都会听到关于 A.I. 等新技术将如何改变我们经济的说法。但我禁不住会思考 A.I. 无法取代的工作:数百万主要依靠双手工作的人。这包括 Ford 数以万计的计时制员工和熟练技工,他们每天维持着我们的制造系统运转,以及数百万使用我们的商用卡车和货车完成工作的人。 无论你是一名在高速行驶的救护车中插入静脉输液管的急救人员,还是一名疏通下水道的管道工,A.I. 都无法完成你的工作。 这些动手工作者是我们所称的美国“支柱经济”的一部分——我们赖以维持经济运转的关键产业,这些产业的就业岗位长期以来一直是通往中产阶级的跳板,也是强大、稳定社区的基石。建筑、农业、熟练技工、交通、能源和制造业等行业维持着 并在 GDP 中贡献着 。支柱经济是这个国家的支柱。而它正处于危险之中。 在过去八年里——得益于云计算、移动应用程序和更快的电话会议等技术, 生产力 。但同期,支柱经济的生产力却有所下降, 据 Aspen Institute 称。这就是我临近 Labor Day 所担心的问题,因为生产力是推动企业更高利润、工人更高工资和国家更高 GDP 的最有效工具之一。 如何弥合支柱经济的生产力差距 那么,我们如何弥合这一差距呢? 首先,我们需要认真对待劳动力发展。美国在支柱产业正遭受严重的劳动力短缺。在我所在的行业,未来三年内,我们仅为满足需求就需要超过 。建筑行业 ,并且 。我预测,对受过培训的熟练支柱经济工人的需求在未来几年只会增长。 长期以来,我们一直将劳动力发展计划视为对近期失业者的福利。相反,正如 一文所言,我们应该学习联邦研发资金的成功模式——并将劳动力发展视为对支柱经济的一项有力投资。根据最新研究,目前我们用于职业培训的开支低于几乎所有其他工业化国家——仅占我们 GDP 的 0.1%。这需要改变。 近一个世纪前,工人可以在 Henry Ford Trade School 等私立机构或 Works Progress Administration 等政府项目接受培训。这两者都在 1952 年前关闭了。 提供两年制学位和熟练技工证书的公立学院过去是——现在仍然是——通往稳定中产阶级生活的跳板。我们需要在美国围绕劳动力发展进行一场文化转变,打破这些职业不值得我们年轻人追求的耻辱感。 2050 年的劳动力市场 当我们培训工人时,我们应该让他们为 2050 年的经济做好准备,而不是 1950 年的经济。增强现实和机器人技术等新工具可以像云计算对办公室工作人员所做的那样,大大提高汽车技工的生产力。现在,我们有机会为那些从事动手工作的人最重要的“十根手指”发起一场“数字”革命。 为了实现这些目标,我们需要在联邦、州和地方层面精简繁文缛节。 ,基础设施和制造业发展项目因可预防且代价高昂的许可延迟而夭折。我们可以找到方法来确保安全、保护环境并听取利益相关者的意见,同时仍然更快地完成项目。 我知道还有更多的好主意。本月晚些时候,Ford 将在 Detroit 召开一场 关于支柱经济的会议。我邀请了商界、科技界和政府的领导人——当然,还有支柱经济前线的工人和企业家。我确信我们将产生影响,因为诞生于 Detroit 的想法很少会仅限于此。 如果我们继续忽视支柱经济会发生什么?建筑工人太少将使住房更加昂贵。农业工人短缺?我们都将为食品杂货支付更多费用。 因此,随着 Labor Day 的临近,我将庆祝 Ford 的一线英雄和熟练技工每天的工作,他们让数百万人保持运转。我将寻找弥合生产力差距的方法,这个差距影响着所有建设和维持这个国家及我们社区的支柱经济工人。让我们把支柱经济作为国家优先事项——因为我们所有人都与它的成功息息相关。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

我在卡特里娜飓风期间生下了孩子。我的城市发生了怎样的变化 Latest News

我在卡特里娜飓风期间生下了孩子。我的城市发生了怎样的变化

(SeaPRwire) - 我并非来自新奥尔良。但有时,我获得荣誉地位,因为自1999年以来,我一直在这里生活并担任新闻记者——还因为20年前,我在卡特里娜飓风来临的前一天,在新奥尔良的 Touro Infirmary 生下了我们的儿子赫克托。 赫克托原定9月11日出生,但他提前来了。2005年8月28日,在一个酷热的周六,我在 Dauphine Street 街角的 Mattassa’s Market 首次感受到阵痛,当时我进去买冰棒。一个来买香烟的朋友陪我走回家,并一直等到他的父亲,小号手“Kid Merv”坎贝尔那天完成了一场铜管乐队演出。 我是在周日早上,也就是卡特里娜飓风登陆前一天左右生下孩子的。但是,8月29日以3级风暴袭击新奥尔良的卡特里娜飓风,并非这座城市的毁灭——真正导致毁灭的是洪水。 周日深夜,我们和刚出生的宝宝在医院睡觉时,听到走廊对面另一位新妈妈的尖叫声。她接到了城市下九区(Lower 9th Ward)的家人打来的电话,他们已经迅速爬到阁楼,因为洪水已经淹没了他们的一楼。就在我儿子出生不到一天的时候,第一道破损的堤坝在 Jourdan Avenue 决口,20英尺高的水喷涌而入,淹没了整个社区。 我们一家在周三离开了这座城市,最终在亚利桑那州的凤凰城待了11个月,我记得那段时间几乎没下过雨。崎岖的岩石和仙人掌有时感觉像一个外太空世界,我们首先在姐姐家暂住,然后在一个当地长老会教会的帮助下安顿下来,他们收留了我们以及新奥尔良大号演奏家杰弗里·希尔斯(Jeffrey Hills)的家人。 任何搬到新城市的人都能理解离开所爱之地时的痛苦。但卡特里娜飓风后的流离失所感觉不同。新奥尔良本地艺术家兼舞者米歇尔·吉布森(Michelle Gibson)也许将其描述得最贴切,她在独角戏表演中走进观众席,随机抓住几个人,把他们从一排移到另一排。当一位观众试图在被移动时带走她的钱包时,吉布森告诉她把它留在原地。 在那些时刻,唯一的慰藉就是你和你关心的人在一起。 所以,在2006年7月,当我打包一辆 U-Haul 拖车离开凤凰城时,我与希尔斯(Hills)一家同行,他们在德克萨斯州与我分道扬镳,他们将在那里再待一年,直到他们也能搬回更靠近家乡的地方。赫克托的父亲也会在稍后独自回家。 就在风暴来临前不久,我们搬到了法国区边缘的一套公寓,那里从未被淹。灾后,一位来自被淹地区的朋友在那里暂住,直到我们能够回来。在接下来的一年里,许多家人和朋友每个周末从德克萨斯州或田纳西州通勤过来,睡在我们前面的沙发床上,为的是重建家园。事情就是这样。人们找到一个地方暂时安顿下来,同时寻找更永久的回家之路。 回来重建家园是一项艰苦的工作。房主寻找承包商,自己动手干活。租房者寻找价格合理的住处,因为新奥尔良的生活成本在短时间内大幅上涨。 有时,即使在艰难时期,走到城市潮湿的空气中也感觉很好。宁静。似乎所有的努力都是值得的。 但这些时刻也伴随着一个痛苦的现实,那就是我们许多以前的邻居无法回来,往往是由于经济、健康状况不佳或失业。 卡特里娜飓风20周年带来了同样的苦乐参半的感觉。我们对发生的一切以及那些未能挺过风暴或从流离失所中归来的人深感悲痛。我们讨厌我们城市账单的飙升,这里曾经以生活成本低廉而闻名。我每月的抵押贷款大部分是房屋保险费——因为我们生活在灾区。 但实话实说,我们很高兴能在这里。赫克托20岁了,他吻了我一下,然后去他在下九区(Lower 9th Ward)Andrew P. Sanchez Rec Center 担任高级救生员的工作。今年夏天早些时候,在一个全新奥尔良的大新闻中,他的团队将一名男子从水中救起,并通过心肺复苏(CPR)使其恢复了呼吸和心跳。 我的“飓风宝宝”在下九区(Lower 9th Ward)保护泳者免受深水危险,这真是一种圆满。他下班后,会开车经过杂草丛生的空地和房屋漂走后留下的孤零零的台阶。每当他回到家走进屋里时,附近其他“卡特里娜时代”的宝宝们就会陆续过来,前厅里会充满欢声笑语。 他们小时候都在其他城市度过:在德克萨斯州、田纳西州、佐治亚州和亚利桑那州。但他们是在湿热的夏季空气中走回这里的。现在,当他们在一起聊天时,他们的新奥尔良口音很浓。 今年秋天,我们社区的橄榄球教练注意到他的球员名单发生了变化,他告诉我。 近20年来,他的大部分球员都出生在远离“Big Easy”的地方。这些学生通常出生在休斯顿、小石城、达拉斯、亚特兰大等城市——他们的家人在卡特里娜飓风后流离失所到这些地方。 但今年,他收到的球员在赛季开始时的文件大多显示他们出生在新奥尔良的医院。 对于新奥尔良当地社区来说,这样的趋势反映了卡特里娜飓风摧毁这座城市后二十年的复苏。对我而言,这意味着新奥尔良的家庭可能终于在故土获得了一些稳定感。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

乔治·克鲁尼在诺亚·鲍姆巴赫的杰伊·凯利中表现内敛动人 Latest News

乔治·克鲁尼在诺亚·鲍姆巴赫的杰伊·凯利中表现内敛动人

(SeaPRwire) - 上一分钟,他还是一个当红年轻影星;下一分钟,他已成了银发帅哥。时光飞逝,谁能料到?关于逐渐老去的好莱坞女演员的电影有很多—— 和《彗星美人》就是典范——但不知何故,我们似乎总认为变老对男人没有那么大的影响。女人通常随着年龄增长会失去部分魅力;而男人则更容易展现出性感的稳重感。这对于 和他在威尼斯电影节首映的《杰伊·凯利》中扮演的乔治·克鲁尼式角色都是如此。你找不到比他更适合这个故事的演员了:一个大获成功的演员,在与一位老友相遇,从深情的回忆开始,却以一场拳头相向的争执告终后,重新审视自己一生所做的一切。这个想法本身就令人耳目一新,并且给克鲁尼提供了大量的发挥空间:饰演杰伊时,他可以上一分钟光芒四射——无论是在片场还是在人群中——下一分钟又为自己的诸多错误而沉思。克鲁尼无所不能。 然而,《杰伊·凯利》却有着某种异常迟钝之处。鲍姆巴赫与艾米丽·莫蒂默(她本身就是一位出色的演员,在本片中也只出现了几个简短的场景)共同编剧。这部电影没有什么明显令人讨厌的地方,也有几场戏写得、演得、导得都非常精彩。但《杰伊·凯利》更多的是感伤而非真正深刻的思考,尤其是在杰伊脑海中如洪钟般回荡的主题:我为什么没有花更多时间陪我的孩子?杰伊有两个孩子,一个大女儿()对她的父亲怀有怨恨,一个小女儿(格蕾丝·爱德华兹)更理解他,尽管她即将去上大学。他唯一真正的朋友是那个(电影多次提醒我们)从他所有收入中抽取15%提成的经纪人罗恩(由 精湛饰演)。而这真的是朋友吗?他和罗恩都面对了这个问题,他们得出的答案让两人都不开心。 或许问题在于《杰伊·凯利》试图涵盖太多内容,结果却对本应重要的事物敷衍带过。电影开场时,杰伊正在拍摄他最新一部大制作电影的最后一幕。(这部电影叫《八个男人以后》,显然是对巴德·博蒂彻1956年西部片《七个男人以后》的致敬,但并不特别相关。)他已经拍了六七遍以上,但他还想再来一遍。这是他的口头禅:他如此追求完美,确信自己总能超越自己。当他最终离开片场时,他向全体剧组人员挥手,真诚地感谢他们,而他们也很喜欢这样。他以此种关注为食。当他独处时(这几乎从不发生),他不知道该如何自处。电影中另一个可能重复了太多次的口头禅是:“做自己比你想象的更难。” 与女儿们疏远或半疏远,杰伊在偶然遇到一位表演学校的老朋友,提摩西时,感到高兴和好奇。他们一时冲动,出去喝了几杯。提摩西现在是一名儿童精神病医生;他只是放弃了演戏,至少杰伊是这么认为的。他对老朋友赞不绝口,同时也暴露出自己的不安全感——提摩西曾是方法派Method演员,这表明了一种杰伊觉得自己永远无法达到的严肃程度。随后,提摩西,起初和蔼可亲,却突然对他发难。原来提摩西认为杰伊正是他事业不顺的原因。在采访中,杰伊经常开玩笑地说起一个故事,讲的是他偶然获得第一个大角色,因为他只是陪一个朋友去试镜。提摩西就是那个朋友,在他看来,杰伊只是利用了他。“你偷走了我的人生,”他苦涩地说,杰伊则垂头丧气。他可能很迟钝——但他并不残忍。 有很多值得深入探讨的地方,但不知不觉间,《杰伊·凯利》又转向了下一个情节。这是一部躁动不安、难以捉摸的电影。托斯卡纳的电影节想以隆重的致敬仪式来表彰杰伊。杰伊起初拒绝了,但当他意识到他的小女儿大约在同一时间会在欧洲旅行时,他改变了主意。因此,鲍姆巴赫穿插了一段长长的场景,设定在一列从巴黎开往意大利乡村的火车上,这段场景本可以被剪短或几乎完全删除。因为杰伊几乎每时每刻都有人在身边,电影中充满了只出现一两场的配角,包括吉姆·布劳德本特饰演那位发掘了杰伊的仁慈导演,阿尔芭·罗尔瓦赫尔饰演一位迷人的电影节跑腿人,饰演罗恩疲惫的妻子,以及斯泰西·基齐饰演杰伊健谈但难相处的父亲。 饰演杰伊沮丧的公关人员,短暂露面;她和桑德勒在电影中奉献了最精彩的一幕,他们回想起过去差点永远在一起的时光,尽管现在他们都与其他人安定下来了。 克鲁尼饰演的杰伊·凯利是这个群星璀璨的中心,既光芒四射又内省忧郁。他散发出的光芒有多少,他从周围人那里吸收的就有多少:他以一种他们不需要他的方式需要他们。这次表演有着一种默默的感动——克鲁尼成功地让你关心一个内心可能相当空虚的男人。当他最终抵达托斯卡纳的致敬仪式时——一路上伴随着许多焦虑和挣扎——他与观众一同观看那些从杰伊·凯利职业生涯各个时期提取的,可想而知是赞誉有加的电影片段集锦。但我们看到的却是克鲁尼职业生涯的片段:来自《迈克尔·克莱顿》、《细细的红线》,甚至是2020年的《午夜天空》,其中克鲁尼饰演一位蓄着大胡子的孤独科学家。我们看着他看着自己——这不仅仅是杰伊·凯利看着杰伊·凯利,更是乔治·克鲁尼看着乔治·克鲁尼,在那些他看起来中年却又令人愉快地庄重的角色中,有时又显得不可思议地年轻,像一个刚迈出第一步的影坛新星。他脸上的表情——杰伊脸上的,克鲁尼脸上的——充满了纯粹的惊奇。“那个人到底是谁?”他似乎在问自己,被自己的形象所吸引和诱惑。这是这部充满无解问题的电影中最好的视觉问号。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

(SeaPRwire) - 根据周四发布的新数据,野火正在逆转加拿大和美国数十年来在清洁空气标准方面取得的进展。 University of Chicago 的研究人员发布了他们的年度 (AQLI) 报告,该报告跟踪空气污染及其对预期寿命的影响。今年的报告分析了2023年收集的数据。 那一年,加拿大经历了史上最严重的野火季节,烧毁了超过 英亩的土地,火焰导致美国和加拿大的空气污染浓度分别上升到自2011年和1998年以来未曾见过的水平,这些是 AQLI 开始记录空气质量数据的年份。过去,加拿大和美国在降低空气污染方面都取得了长足进展——但野火逆转了这一进展。2023年,两国空气污染增幅居全球之首——尽管当时两国都有严格的空气质量规定。野火提升了美国部分地区的污染水平,也改变了美国污染的地理分布。美国污染最严重的县通常集中在加利福尼亚州,但那一年,野火导致包括威斯康星州、伊利诺伊州和印第安纳州以及远至南部的密西西比州在内的多个州的县也名列污染最严重的地区。 AQLI 数据显示,在全球范围内,2023年 PM2.5(直径为2.5微米或更小的微小颗粒,由火灾和其他污染源释放到空气中)的浓度比2022年水平增加了1.5%——达到了 World Health Organization (WHO) 指导标准的近五倍。长期暴露于 PM2.5 会增加心脏病、肺癌和中风等健康影响的风险。 这些发现严峻地警示了应对空气质量可能面临的新现实。今年是历史上第二严重的火灾季,自2025年初以来,总共有 燃烧。根据一项 研究显示,气候变化正在导致野火的频率和强度增加,其中增幅最大的地区发生在美国西部以及北美北部和俄罗斯的北方森林。 与此同时,Trump Administration 正在努力撤销美国的清洁空气标准。今年三月,Environmental Protection Agency 宣布计划废除具有里程碑意义的污染标准,其中包括 污染物标准,该标准旨在规范颗粒物等有害污染物。 该政府还 撤销了2009年的“危害认定”,该认定确定温室气体对公众健康构成威胁,并为 Clean Air Act 下的法规提供了法律依据。研究人员表示,气候变化和空气污染密切相关,降低二氧化碳排放(二氧化碳会提高温度并 ),是减少空气污染的重要组成部分。 研究人员在报告中写道:“气候变化和空气污染都源于同一根源——来自车辆、发电厂和工业的化石燃料燃烧。” “在这方面,减少化石燃料消耗有可能降低空气污染浓度,并减少破坏性气候变化的风险。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
