Former Chinese table tennis superstar Zhang Jike made Jing Tian's life miserable, to the point that she vanished from the entertainment world for more than a year. Amid this blackmailing rumor, a series of messages allegedly from fellow actress Zheng Shuang calling Zhang Jike names to defend Jing Tian were trending on Chinese social media.

Nobody likes to talk about rooftop solar fires but solar safety is vital for the growth of our industry. In fact, the risk of an electrical fire from your solar array is very small - certainly a fraction of a percent. But more and better safety is always good which is why we are excited to bring you Jing Tian, Chief Growth Officer for Tigo Energy on today's show. Rapid shutdown really came into force in the US in 2017 and this forced installers and developers to begin adopting module-level power electronics (MLPE) which are a safety shutoff for solar PV systems. Rapid shutdown refers to the ability of the array to shut itself down and stop producing voltage when the grid goes down or there is some other warning signal from the array (perhaps a short, other hazardous triggers). This makes the solar facility safe for first responders who might be working on the grid and it can reduce small problems from becoming catastrophes. Tigo Energy is a power electronics company with innovative solutions to enhance safety via rapid shutdown devices.Our guest today is Jing Tian, the Chief Growth Officer for Tigo Energy. She has over 20 years of technical and business experience working with companies like Credence, Solfocus, Shift Energy, and Trina Solar. Prior to joining Tigo Energy, she spent over a decade working with solar equipment manufacturers across the industry. On this episode of the Clean Power Hour Jing joins Tim Montague to discuss what rapid shutdown is, how it works, why it is important and much more. Key TakeawaysWhy and how did she get into the solar industry?Solar companies she has been part of and her experience thereWhat is rapid shutdown, how does it work and why is it important?What triggers Rapid Shutdown and what is cross-talk?Tigo Energy's rapid shutdown solutions Tigo EnergyConnect with Tigo EnergyConnect with Jing TianCorporate sponsors who share our mission to speed the energy transition are invited to check out https://www.cleanpowerhour.com/support/ Twice a week we highlight the tools, technologies and innovators that are making the clean energy transition a reality - on Apple,

How did Zvi Alon become Chairman and CEO of one of the early MLPE pioneers, Tigo Energy? By believing in the strategy he mapped out and invested in! When the original founders lost hope in the plan, Zvi stepped in, and the rest is history. Hear today how one of the iconic power electronics companies birthed here in Silicon Valley stayed alive amidst the Asian manufacturer influx to the solar power electronics sector. And Tigo didn't just stay alive, but managed to thrive, driving innovation across the value stream, pioneering & championing change in the way rooftop solar was installed, at least in the USA that is. We get a rare glimpse of the inside story from the man who made it happen, Zvi Alon. Zvi recently hired past SunCast guest (and longtime friend) Jing Tian as their Chief Growth Officer. Jing joins Zvi in this interview to discuss what got her excited about sparking Tigo's new chapter of growth. And, of course, we get into their big news, the launch of a residential storage product to compete head to head not just with Enphase and Solaredge but Tesla, Generac and the rest of the field!

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher talk about Police Story: Lockdown, the sixth film in Jackie Chan's long-running Police Story franchise. Known as Police Story 2013 in Asian markets, this standalone sequel (!!) has no relation to the other films other than Jackie Chan playing a cop. Time time around, he's playing Zhong Wen, a detective in the noir mold with a drinking problem and a sassy daughter (Jing Tian). After visiting her at a nightclub, he gets knocked unconscious. Now everyone has to survive while they are being threatened by criminal mastermind and former underground fighter Wu Jiang (Liu Ye). Employing a convoluted narrative peppered by flashbacks chock-full of melodrama, Police Story: Lockdown is far less comedic than other films in the franchise. It's also a bore, but there are a few tense sequences here and there. This flick didn't get a release in the United States until 2015 under the title Police Story: Lockdown. Mat catches the Harry Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them on HBO and enjoys its mixture of childlike wonder and child abuse. Thrasher saw Spider-Man Homecoming in the cinemas and loves how the story focuses on lower stakes; it's not the whole planet Earth that's in danger for once. Thrasher announces he is a Contributing Writer for the upcoming Core Rule Book for Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Wrath & Glory.

"There are many things you have not seen." Zhang Yimou has done serious dramas. He’s done big wuxia action films, but he hasn’t had a success in a while and perhaps it should come as no surprise that his newest film is designed to be a big fantasy action blockbuster – a legend about the Great Wall of China and the dragons they people were trying to thwart. While it’s been a success in China and the rest of the world, though, it opened third at the US box office, likely due to its terrible trailers that sold it poorly. But is the film any good? Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Zhang Yimou series with his 2016 film The Great Wall. We talk about why this film surprised us quite a bit and how, even with some big problems, we both ended up having fun times with the film. We look at what Zhang brings to the table and what political messages he may be trying to get across with this film. We chat about the cast – notably Matt Damon, Jing Tian, Pedro Pascal, William Defoe and Andy Lau – and how the claims of whitewashing seem absurd; if anything, the film ends up having a nice multicultural feel to it. We look at the cinematography and production design, noting that everything is right up Zhang’s alley. We touch on Ramin Djawadi’s score and how it works perfectly for the story here. And we debate the numbers, wondering if it’s fair to out-and-out consider this a financial success since it’s made its money back, or if we need to consider it a failure in the bigger picture for not doing what they set out to do with it which was create captive audiences in China as well as the US. Did Zhang make the right choice in making this film? Is it going to be considered a success or will it flop in the US? We’re curious to see how history holds this film up. So check out the movie – you’ll probably have more fun with it than you were expecting – then tune in to this week’s show.

Main Review: The Great Wall In this action-fantasy epic set in 11th century China, two mercenaries from the West (Matt Damon and Pedro Pascal) are captured by a military organization that are headquartered in a fortress on the Great Wall.

Jing Tian, Andy Lau, Zhang Hanyu, Willem Dafoe, and Eddie Peng co-star. Directed by Zhang Yimou (Hero, House of Flying Daggers), this collaboration with Hollywood is the most expensive Chinese film to date.

This week we recorded early, so no box office report. But if you were wondering whether or not 'The Great Wall' would come in at number 1 - rest assured, the answer is no.

La Grande Muraille, le nouveau long métrage du réalisateur Zhang Yimou, avec Matt Damon en tête d’affiche, est le blockbuster sino-américain du moment. Taraudé entre une volonté de coller au marché chinois et celle de séduire un public occidental, ce film hybride n’arrive manifestement ni à l’un ni à l’autre... De bonne facture technique et esthétique, le tout montre quand même des grosses faiblesses qu’on se fait un petit plaisir à énumérer.Animé par Thomas Rozec avec Léa Bodin, Stéphane Moïssakis et Alexandre HervaudRÉFÉRENCES CITÉES DANS L’ÉMISSIONStar Wars : Le Réveil de la Force (The Force Awakens, J.J.

“Special ID” would have been a decent action movie, if less effort were made to highlight one of the female characters. Hong Kong director Clarence Fok’s latest outing stars Chinese martial artist Donnie Yen and actress Jing Tian. Yen plays an undercover police officer working for a local gang leader. He is assigned by both the gang leader and his senior officer to investigate a missing person case. His mission brings him in cooperation with female officer played by Jing Tian. Together the partners have to find o ut the culprit, and why the police and the gang both take an interest in the same case. Yen may not be as good-looking as Jet Li, but he is always known for unique fighting style blending different schools of martial arts. In the last few years, he mostly appeared in historical martial arts films, while in fact his particular talent is more suited for modern action films. In “Special ID”, Yen’s contribution in action choreography is what makes the viewers stay in their seats. However, apart from three major scenes that showcase Yen’s skills, the film has little else to offer. Donnie Yen tries very hard to portray a police officer who acts like a gang member. His performance is satisfactory, compared to the female lead. Actress Jing Tian is relatively new to the movie industry, but each time she appears on the big screen, she is accompanied by mega stars playing supporting roles. This has led many to suspect that someone is secretly squandering tens of millions of RMBs to make her famous, but she has just denied the allegations and attributed everything to her hard work and good fortune. In “Special ID”, Yen has designed some eye-opening action scenes for her, but they don't change the fact that Jing still has a long way to go to improve her acting skills. To boost character development and Jing Tian’s presence, the director introduces many relationship scenes, which neither of the major characters is particularly good at. So this arrangement only serves as distraction from the main plot, just like the final car chase that looks suspiciously like a prolonged collision test and automobile commercial. Anyway, it is nice to see Donnie Yen returning to modern action films, hopefully he won’t need to baby-sit someone next time. On a scale from one to ten, “Special ID” deserves a five.
The key to making a box office hit in China is controversy. "Police Story 2013" may not have provoked as much discussion as Feng Xiaogang's latest movie "Personal Tailor", but there are still many issues that have got filmgoers talking. The police action thriller stars Jackie Chan as a Chinese police officer caught in the machinations of a criminal gang. The owner of a nightclub kidnaps a group of partygoers, including the officer's daughter, played by Jing Tian. Chan must play along with the villains until he finds a way to release the hostages. But as the story unfolds a connection linking all characters is revealed. The majority of comments focus on Jackie Chan's performance. The 60-year-old star announced his retirement from action films when he released "Chinese Zodiac" in 2012, but as his cooperation with director Ding Sheng developed, more action scenes were added. As a result, viewers can witness Chan getting beaten up real bad and challenging his limits at such an advanced age. Most critics appreciate Chan's efforts. And remembering his energetic roles in the previous installments of the Police Story franchise set in Hong Kong, movie fans commend Chan on his latest outing, this time set in Beijing. The other talking point of the film is much more controversial. The quality of Jing Tian's acting has been questioned in previous roles, yet she's always come back with ever bigger roles. In 2013 she sent shockwaves through the movie industry by teaming up with megastars Donnie Yen, Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan and Liu Ye in "Special ID", "Police Story 2013" and "The Man from Macau". Working with so many stars has helped her lift her acting skills from lousy to… well, still below average. At least that's the opinion of many filmgoers who have jumped on her back yet again after what they see as a below par performance. Police Story 2013 has generated over 270 million yuan in just 6 days and is now sitting on top of the charts in terms of daily grossing. Further proof to the theory controversy creates cash.
