Joseph Quinn

　　　　 On May 29th, Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, Joseph Quinn ("Strange Tales") talked about joining the sequel to the classic historical drama Gladiator 2 directed by ridley scott to play the Roman emperor caracalla, and Connie Nielsen, the former star, will return to play lucila.

　　Paul Mesca plays Lucius, the son of Lucilla and Maximus, Barry Keohane plays Hertha, the Roman emperor, and Denzel Hayes Washington Jr. also plays.

　　Written by David Scappa (Money World and Napoleon) who has worked with Scott many times, the story still focuses on the cruel world of ancient Rome, which was released in North America on November 22, 2024.

　　Gladiator was released in 2000, directed by ridley scott and written by David Fransoni. Starring russell crowe, Joaquin Phoenix, Connie Nielsen, Oliver reid, Derek Jacoby, Djimon Hounsou, Richard Harris and others. The plot tells the story that Commodus, the son of Marcus Aurelius, the last monarch of the five sages of the Roman Empire, seized the throne, while Maximus, the general, was framed by him and turned into a gladiator, and finally got revenge.

　　This film was nominated for the 12th Academy Award, and finally won five awards, including Best Film Award, Best Actor Award, Best Costume Design Award, Best Visual Effect Award and Best Sound Effect Award.

　　During the period of "Five Sages" in Roman Empire, the general Maximus made great achievements in the battle of conquering Germanic, which was valued and loved by the old emperor Marcus Aurelius. Aurelius decided to hand over the authority behind him to Maximus and then return to the Senate. Unexpectedly, when the ambitious prince Commodus learned about it, he killed his father and usurped the throne, and ordered that Maximus, who refused to be loyal to himself, be destroyed.

　　Maximus escaped Commodus, but all his family members were killed. He became a slave and was sent to the arena several times to become a gladiator for entertainment. Maximus gradually emerged with his heroic spirit and superb martial arts, and finally advanced to the Colosseum in Rome. He calmly commanded the weak to defeat the strong in the first battle of the Colosseum and got the opportunity to fight in front of the emperor. When Commodus saw that Maximus was not dead, he was horrified. He repeatedly arranged to get rid of him in the arena, but he never succeeded. On the contrary, Maximus became a force to be reckoned with.

　　At this time, Commodus’s brutal rule aroused widespread fear and dissatisfaction in the upper echelons of the empire. Commodus’s sister Lucilla plotted subversion with several elders, approached Maximus and reached an agreement to rescue him from the city and launch a mutiny. When Commodus heard the news, he threatened his nephew’s life, forced his sister to give up all the plans, and then ordered the guards to attack the gladiator hall at night, and Maximus was arrested.

　　Commodus, a traitor, wants to kill Maximus himself in the arena to regain his prestige. Maximus, who was assassinated first, fought bravely and eventually died with his enemy Commodus.

　　Gladiator refers to a fighter in the arena of ancient Rome. Its name comes from the sword used by the Roman legion. It is a special slave in the slave society of ancient Rome, usually a prisoner of war or other slaves who made mistakes. Their duty is to fight to the death in the arena and provide entertainment for people.

　　Although the ancient Romans loved gladiator sports, in fact, similar activities existed long before ancient Rome. The book of Daniel in the Old Testament mentions that Daniel was thrown into the lion’s den because he disobeyed Nebuchadnezzar’s orders and worshipped his own god instead of him. This habit of throwing prisoners into the lion pit is quite similar to the gladiator movement in ancient Rome.

　　The participants in the gladiator movement are not all gladiators. Many emperors in the Five Emperors era, including Hadrian, known as the "brave emperor", also participated in the simulated gladiator movement in the arena. In addition, Titus Flavius Domitianus was the first emperor to bring women and dwarfs into the arena. Similarly, people who become gladiators are not all slaves. A large proportion of Roman citizens will join voluntarily for fame or wealth, and there are also many professional soldiers who have served in the legion.

　　Spartacus, the most famous slave uprising in Roman history, was led by a gladiator. This rebellion indirectly led the Roman Empire to start legislation to improve the lives and rights of slaves. Before the formal abolition of slavery, the Roman Empire was the slave country with the most power in history.

　　In a sense, the existence of the arena also prompted the once brilliant ancient Roman Empire to quickly fall. The huge demand for gladiators is not a small human consumption for a slave country like the Roman Empire. This became a huge burden in the late imperial period. In addition to coping with the rising military expenditure, the imperial government must also maintain free competitive performances held by the state.

　　Finally, the prosperity of the gladiator movement ended with the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and the Eastern Roman Empire was keen on horse racing and other sports.

　　Gladiators should receive professional training according to their own characteristics and play various enemies of the Roman Empire. Therefore, the high training cost made the slave owners unwilling to be killed as slaves.

　　Therefore, according to the training results, gladiators will be shaped with different tactics and equipment, such as playing the net fighter with trident and fishing net as weapons, playing the Samnites, the old rivals of the Romans with heavy equipment, and the Thracians in the later period. Gladiators must undergo strict training in special schools before they can go to the arena to fight. There are several forms of fighting, one-on-one fighting, ten-to-ten fighting, and collective fighting with wild animals. They ended up living or dying, or they were released because of their outstanding performance to win. Their fate is very tragic.

Today, the automobile market is changing rapidly. In order to compete for market share, major brands have made big moves. On the one hand, advanced technology is decentralized and configuration is upgraded, thus enhancing comprehensive competitiveness. On the other hand, they are also improving cost performance through price reduction. For example, American automobile brands are trying to win back the favor of consumers with an unprecedented attitude, through the combination of sharp price reduction and product upgrade. Although the effect needs time to verify, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity for consumers to buy a car.

Cadillac XT5

SAIC-GM is one of the largest American-American joint venture brands in China, which includes high-end brands such as Cadillac and popular brands such as Buick, and has recently given large discounts. Cadillac XT5, which went on sale on September 28th, launched three hummingbird four-wheel drive models, luxurious, distinguished and platinum. The limited-time price ranged from 265,900 yuan to 335,900 yuan. Compared with the original price, the maximum price reduction reached 134,000 yuan.

In addition to the large discount range, the new XT5 product strength has also been upgraded. The new car has been upgraded to a brand-new wide architecture, adopting the iconic diamond cutting design concept, having the latest generation of slim headlight technology, and Yan value online has also used new technologies. The interior of the new XT5 is a 33-inch 9K screen. With AKG audio, it can bring a leading audio-visual entertainment experience at the same level.

As for the core power system, the new XT5 continues to be equipped with 2.0T+9AT power combination, and the hummingbird chassis that comes standard in the whole system is equally well-known. The hummingbird chassis Max is equipped with Twin-clutch vector four-wheel drive system, RTD electronic real-time damping adjustable suspension and Brembo high-performance six-piston customized calipers. The hummingbird chassis Air adopts the dual damping mechanism of newly upgraded rigid spring and FSD self-sensing damping variable suspension. In short, the new XT5 not only has strong power, but also maintains a high level of chassis, giving consideration to comfort and control.

Buick angkewei Plus

Buick Plus used to be very popular, and it can only be bought for more than 200,000 yuan. Recently, a limited price strategy was introduced. The prices of the 28T exclusive model, the 28T four-wheel drive exclusive model and the Avia version were adjusted to 169,900 yuan, 179,900 yuan and 199,900 yuan respectively. Compared with the original price, each model was lowered by 60,000 yuan, and the cost performance was significantly improved.

In addition to the price advantage, Buick Angkewei Plus has also been fully upgraded in product strength. The upgrading of the whole vehicle architecture has brought about a longer wheelbase, larger hub and wheel diameters, and more spacious interior space. This design not only improves the handling and stability of the vehicle, but also enables passengers to enjoy a more comfortable ride experience in the car.

In terms of interior, Buick Angkewei Plus has also made a lot of innovations and optimizations. The addition of a new generation of VCS smart cockpit and EYEMAX 30-inch curved 6K screen greatly enhances the sense of technology and luxury in the car. At the same time, Buick Angkewei Plus is also equipped with advanced powertrains such as the eighth generation Ecotec 2.0T variable cylinder turbocharged engine and the 9-speed HYDRA-MATIC intelligent gearbox, which ensures the excellent performance of the vehicle in terms of power performance, handling and fuel economy.

Jeep grand Cherokee

Compared with XT5, the decline of the new model is more exaggerated. The model that was once bought by more than 600,000 people directly entered the 400,000 range, with the highest decline reaching 250,000 yuan. And the new car not only gives great sincerity in price, but also performs well in product strength. The appearance is still quite satisfactory and calm. The most surprising thing about the new car is the change of the interior, which has arranged three large screens including the entertainment screen of the co-driver, and there is also a small display screen in the shift area. On the whole, the sense of science and technology is sufficient.

The biggest highlight of the new Grand Cherokee is power. It is equipped with a 2.0T engine +P2 dual-motor combination, 276kW, comprehensive torque of 637N·m, acceleration of 6s for 100 kilometers, comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.3L/100km in WLTC working condition and pure battery life of 47km, which can be regarded as a transformation of this classic model in the era of electrification, but this time the electrification is mainly to enhance power. In addition, the new car comes standard with an active two-speed transfer case, with a low-speed four-wheel drive mode and five driving modes to choose from. Some models also have air suspension and rear axle differential lock. It can be said that the new car takes into account the comfort of urban SUVs and the off-road performance of hard-core off-road, which makes the Grand Cherokee still maintain a strong competitiveness in the luxury SUV market.

In fact, in addition to the above three models, many American cars have dropped significantly recently, mainly due to poor sales. First of all, American car brands rely too much on traditional fuel vehicles in their product lines and lack plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that meet market demand. Secondly, the market reputation was damaged, and the immature technology such as excessive use of three-cylinder engine in the early stage led to the damage of market reputation, and then the price was frequently reduced, which affected the overall image and sales of American car brands to some extent.

Of course, the most important thing is the rise of independent brands. In recent years, independent brands have made great progress in technology research and development, product quality and marketing. This makes independent brands more competitive in terms of cost performance and configuration. In contrast, American car brands are slightly inferior in some aspects.

Looking back at American cars trying to regain the favor of consumers through price reduction, price reduction does have certain benefits, which can not only directly stimulate consumers’ desire to buy, but also enhance market competitiveness through the improvement of cost performance. At the same time, the upgrading of product strength also ensures the superior position of vehicles in quality and technology. However, price reduction is only one of the short-term market strategies. In order to maintain market competitiveness for a long time and save sales decline, American car brands still need to change in many aspects.

For example, increase investment in research and development of new energy products and introduce more plug-in and hybrid electric vehicles that meet market demand. At the same time, it will further enhance the brand image and reputation, enhance consumers’ trust and loyalty to the brand, and thus promote the growth of sales. In addition, American car brands need to conduct in-depth research and analysis on the target market, understand the needs and preferences of consumers, and conduct accurate positioning and target marketing accordingly. This will help to enhance the competitiveness and market share of products in the target market.
