1905 movie network news (Hereinafter referred to as "Concubine Yang") It took six years from the opening to the final release. This brought Wu Zun, who is now almost retired, back into the audience’s sight. Recently, 1905 Movie Network interviewed Wu Zun, talked with the former idol about movies, and shared the current father’s deep affection for a pair of children.

　

Character: From "mama’s boy" to independent tenacity

　

　 　 Li Mao, the longevity king in "Concubine Yang", made his first appearance on the polo court. Despite his excellent skills, he would always be plotted by others, and he was not good at concealing his anger. He was a typical victim of internal conflicts in the dynasty. But fortunately, he had a well-planned mother.

　

　 　 This role was originally played by Japanese actor Xiao Li Xun, but after the withdrawal of director Guo Zairong and the withdrawal of foreign investors, the cast of "Concubine Yang" also changed a lot, and Li Mao’s corner fell into the hands of Wu Zun. Wu Zun, who joined the endgame, really shot for a very short time, but there is still a certain span, to play the difference between a boy and a man.

　

　 　 After entering the publicity period, Wu Zun’s role has not yet been completed, and he has to work with other main creators to avoid the erotic gimmicks surrounding the film and make a serious appearance to show that this is a literary film. At the same time, he also needs to keenly sniff out the side attacks of many media and carefully clarify a point: Fan Bingbing is really not a "drama bully"!

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: In "Concubine Yang", how to grasp the difference between boys and men?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: In the movie, at the beginning, he was a kind of "mama’s boy", a son who was well protected by his mother. He may have been a little spoiled and had no sense of responsibility in his character. Then he was arranged to marry Concubine Yang. After that, some changes took place, and Concubine Yang also left him. At that time, he slowly learned to grow up and eventually became a man.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: What kind of breakthrough did your performance make in the film?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: This character is quite different from the costume movies I played before. The previous action scenes all had very handsome fighting moves. This one is more different. It is more literary and artistic. There are many scenes about love, some violent scenes, and some violent scenes with Bingbing.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Will Bingbing and Dawn Guide You to Play?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: There was a scene where I misunderstood Bingbing and had a conflict with her. I walked with her for a long time in that scene, because it was a physically damaging scene, so we didn’t want to NG too many times, hoping that it could be done once or twice. Bingbing has her own ideas, because she is a senior actress and gave a lot of opinions, as well as some suggestions from the director. Working with them is actually a big harvest for me.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Does Fan Bingbing control a lot of things on the spot?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: No, she is like an actress at the scene. She plays her own play well, and she doesn’t know how to change the script or the lines. There is no such thing at all. Maybe she will communicate with the director. Before the play starts filming, she may give a lot of advice during preparation, but not during the filming process.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Seeing Fan Bingbing as a producer, do you sometimes want to do some work outside of acting?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: It would be nice if you were like her, but this kind of thing requires accumulating experience. It doesn’t mean that you can become it if you want. She has a lot of experience to get to where she is now, and she has put in a lot of effort. Many actors hope that one day they can become directors and producers, because they have a love for this thing, which is not yet at that stage for me.

　

Life: Go at your own pace

　

　 　 The real Wu Zun was also full of idol drama. On the morning of his 30th birthday, he would open his notebook and write down his future life plans. Obviously, most of these plans were family, and the main place was his hometown of Brunei.

　

　 　 Not long ago, Wu Zun’s son was born, and his daughter, who was quite popular in the Chinese parent-child reality show, put together a good word, which was extremely complete. Speaking of this pair of children, Wu Zun looked satisfied and happy: "Children will surprise you every day!"

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Six years have passed since you turned 30. How much have you achieved in your life plan?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: Those are all going at my pace, the dreams I have written down, and the ones I want to realize are all in progress. I am a person who tries my best to get close to my dreams every day, and I will make efforts and not live a day in vain. For example, as I said in my autobiography, I have opened a healthy restaurant, this one has also opened, and the bakery is about to open. I am also working hard to be a good father, hoping to receive a good script in the future.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Is the method of educating children inherited from their parents?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: Of course, some parents will use what they think is good, and may not use what is not suitable. I will also read some books to absorb some good suggestions from others. My parents are quite spoiled, my father spoils me more, and my mother is occasionally more serious. I think it is up to children to watch. Some children are not cherished, and parents are spoiled. Some children can be spoiled, and some cannot be spoiled.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Have any methods of educating them been explored so far?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: I can’t tell at the moment because they are still too young. Of course, I am giving them a lot of love at the moment. But when they become more sensible, the way of teaching them will change. Children give you a lot of surprises every day. It is not easy and hard to take care of children, but it is worth it because they grow up and absorb quickly.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Do you sometimes miss the brothers who fought side by side?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: They were all contacted by phone, and we rarely met. Without them, I wouldn’t have the identity of a singer. What I am more grateful for is the efforts we made together. From the very beginning, we went to many places to hold concerts. That feeling, although we are not very good at singing and dancing, the sense of achievement is still there.

　

　 　 1905 Movie Network: Are you afraid that fans will forget you?

　

　 　 Wu Zun: I used to be in Brunei for one month and overseas for 11 months, but now I may have a different idea. You will cherish your fans more, and they will cherish you more. Of course, every generation needs new people to rise up. If not, it will be a fault. For example, we are already in our thirties, and we need people in our twenties to rise up, so I think it is a good thing.

In the movie world created by Stephen Chow, there was a group of actors who were not the absolute protagonists, but they had the same screen-grabbing rate. When they were combined with Stephen Chow, the movie effect was 1 + 1 > 2, just like a gleam behind Zhou’s comedy.

In the golden age of cinema in Hong Kong, China, there is a pair of golden partners – Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda. They have collaborated on more than 20 films in 12 years, such as the "Gambling Saint" series, "Truant Dragon" series, "Journey to the West" series, etc., which are all familiar to mainland audiences. In fact, Chow’s comedy film can not be officially promoted without Wu Mengda’s contribution. In 1990, Liu Zhenwei directed "Gambling Saint", which was the first film between Chow and Wu Mengda, and it was also the film that really made Chow out of the circle. The full display of Chow’s nonsense humor in the film is closely related to Wu Mengda’s seamless cooperation. The tacit understanding between them not only set a box office record in Hong Kong, China, but also won nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

This ushered in a golden period of collaboration between the two. In 1992, the media dubbed it the "Year of Stephen Chow". Of the top 10 films in the Hong Kong film rankings in China that year, Chow made the list of five films, and Wu Mengda starred in three of them. Although the golden pair missed out on works such as "Kung Fu" and "Mermaid" for various reasons since then, their screen classic memories have been deeply imprinted in the minds of fans. As the most photographed and well-known Xingye partner, Wu Mengda is an indispensable Zhou-style comedy golden supporting actor.

If the partnership between Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda is a mutual achievement, then the partnership between Stephen Chow and his middle school classmate Li Jianren is undoubtedly a support. In 1992, Xing Ye, who was roaming freely in the "Year of Stephen Chow", saw that Li Jianren’s life seemed to be going into a low ebb. At that time, he was filming "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" in Beijing and decided to find an old classmate to cooperate. It is said that Li Jianren was not satisfied with the role he played at that time, but he still played it out of affection. Unexpectedly, it was this "Ruhua" who appeared for less than a minute that changed his acting life.

"Ruhua" with stubble on his face, heavy makeup on his face, and fingers picking his nostrils has almost become the only name for Li Jianren’s anti-string, appearing in Chow Xingchi’s works such as "Wu Bohu Dian Qiuxiang", "Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang", "God of Cookery", and "Onei Agent Zero Lingfa", which made the audience laugh. It is worth mentioning that due to the amazing influence of "Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang" in the mainland, Ruhua’s "classic looking back scene" became Li Jianren’s famous work, and is still widely circulated on the Internet emoji. Chow Xingchi pushed Ruhua’s "ugly" to the extreme and became one of the iconic characters of his film; and Li Jianren also became one of the most successful symbols of Hong Kong’s comedy output because of Chow Xingchi.

After an initial period of hyperbole and nonsense, Stephen Chow entered a period of low tide. In 1994, he went to the mainland to shoot the "Journey to the West" series. Due to the great contrast with the original, the box office was dismal, but there was one person who left a deep impression on the audience – Luo Jiaying. Luo Jiaying’s relationship with Zhou Xingchi is neither as deep as Wu Mengda, nor as close as Li Jianren’s classmates, but they have quite a tacit understanding on the set, including the well-known "Only You" sequence. Through the "Journey to the West" series, Luo Jiaying almost changed the inherent image of Tang Seng, became a long-winded synonym, and became one of the classic film symbols created by Zhou Xingchi. There is no doubt that Luo Jiaying’s Tang Seng is one of the classic characters in film history, and this cannot be separated from the help of Xingye.

Of course, Zhou Xingchi’s screen partners are far more than the above…

　　NIO, which has always claimed not to reduce prices, still failed to hold on.

　　Recently, NIO announced that it will untie the lifetime power exchange rights from the vehicle price: the original 4 times a month /6 power exchange given to users is no longer the basic car rights, and the price of all NIO models is also reduced by 30,000 yuan.

　　For consumers, due to the different areas where the NIO power station is located, the electricity and service fees charged will also vary. At the same time, according to the different car habits of the owner, the discounted 30,000 yuan of the lifetime power exchange rights will also reflect different practical values.

　　New Consumer Daily reporters found through interviews that NIO is not the only brand, and other brands of new energy vehicles have also shrunk in their rights to charge and replace electricity. Some industry insiders believe that these changes in strategy are in response to the increasingly fierce competition in the new energy vehicle market.

　　Lifetime free power exchange rights can be "discounted"

　　Does not affect current car owners

　　NIO cars ushered in the first price reduction this year, up to 30,000 yuan. Corresponding to the price reduction, the first owner’s car purchase rights also "depreciated".

　　Li Bin, Founder, Chairperson and CEO of NIO

　　After the news was announced, it triggered a heated discussion. Li Bin, founder, chairperson and CEO of NIO, responded to the adjustment on the NIO community: This adjustment has been discussed internally for a long time, and the opinions and suggestions of some users have been listened to. There are too many aspects to consider, and it is still being deliberated at three o’clock today. Now is the most appropriate time to release, and there must be some thoughtless aspects, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone.

　　Li Bin calculated an account, NIO’s current number of car owners exceeds 330,000, if these owners change cars in the next three years, the price reduction of 30,000 yuan means more than Ten Billion Subsidy.

　　Previously, in order to cultivate users’ power exchange habits, NIO had promoted unlimited free power exchange rights, which were adjusted to 6 free power exchanges per month after August 2021.

　　In April this year, NIO further reduced the rights and interests of the first owner: it involved canceling the free home charging pile, further reducing the number of free power changes to four times, and upgrading the previous NOP + to the official version, with a monthly subscription price of 380 yuan.

　　In June this year, the adjustment directly throws two choices to the owner: to 30,000 yuan car purchase discount, or to enjoy up to 4 times a month of lifelong free electricity exchange, lifetime monthly 8GB free vehicle to everything service, and 10 years of vehicle quality assurance.

　　"If you pay the deposit to buy the new ES6 and ES8 before July 31 this year, you can still enjoy free home charging piles. Before August 1 this year, you can decide whether to choose the 30,000 yuan discount or the’rights upgrade package ‘. Even if you choose the 30,000 yuan discount, NIO will still provide 10 years of unlimited mileage quality assurance for the Sandian system."

　　Liu Yang also added: "For users who have already picked up the car, the first owner’s rights and interests remain unchanged, but they can choose to give up the original free power exchange rights and deduct the purchase price for the new car according to their own needs."

　　NIO used to stick to the bottom line of "no price reduction"

　　But it can’t stop the sales decline

　　NIO founder and president Qin Lihong said at the Shanghai auto show that NIO would not engage in price wars, but pursue one-step pricing. He admitted that NIO’s gross profit margin is not high, and companies with gross profit margins of 30% to 40% may be able to reduce prices appropriately, but NIO will not do so.

　　"No price reduction" used to be one of the two principles Li Bin set for NIO, but the financial data and sales volume made Li Bin’s anxiety palpable.

　　The Q1 financial report of 2023 shows that NIO’s revenue is 10.68 billion yuan, an increase of 7.7% year-on-year., of which the main business revenue of automobile sales is 9.224 billion yuan, a decrease of 0.2% year-on-year.

　　Data show that in the first quarter of this year, NIO deliveries were 31,000 units, an increase of 20.5% year-on-year and a decrease of 22.5% month-on-month. In April this year, NIO new car deliveries were 6,658 units, an increase year-on-year but a decrease of 35.8% month-on-month.

　　Among them, the delivery volume in April and May was only 6,658 and 6,155, less than 7,000 for two consecutive months. In contrast, Li Auto delivered a total of 106,500 new cars from January to May this year, achieving quarterly profit again.

　　In this regard, Li Bin responded positively: "NIO has indeed gone against the tide recently, but it is also expected, because the products are being switched, and the new models ES6 and ES8 have been delivered. The delivery volume will definitely increase gradually. Don’t worry, as for the rumors, don’t pay attention."

　　NIO’s goal for 2023 is to sell 250,000 vehicles and break even in the fourth quarter. So far, the company has delivered 43,900 new vehicles, only 17.6% of the annual task, far from meeting expectations.

　　In order to sell, NIO can only reduce prices in exchange for services.

　　Zhang Yazhi, marketing/Chief Sales Officer at Guangzhou Honda Motor First Sales Co., Ltd., commented: "The price reduction of all NIO models and the separate sale of’lifetime replacement rights’ is a controversial decision, but it is undeniable that due to the large price reduction, it is attractive to those’potential consumers’."

　　Is the NIO owner’s rights upgrade package worth 30,000 yuan?

　　Other brand equities are also shrinking

　　This also raises a question: is it more cost-effective to choose a discount, or is it more cost-effective to choose a "rights upgrade package"?

　　"It all depends on your car habits," Mr. Liu told the New Consumer Daily. "If you use your car more frequently and have a lot of mileage, then the power exchange rights are more suitable for you."

　　NIO staff member Liu Yang explains the issue of electricity replacement charges

　　Meng Wei (a pseudonym), a Beijing-based owner of NIO, told the New Consumer Daily: "I use the car more frequently. I change it about 10 times a month, and I need to pay for it six times a month. It costs about 11,000 yuan a year to change the electricity."

　　According to Meng Wei’s way of using the car, 30,000 yuan can be used for him for about 2.7 years.

　　He added: "The charging method of the NIO power station is based on the difference between the current remaining power and the full power, but I will not change the power every time I run out of power. For example, my ES8 is fully charged at 100 kWh, and when I use only 20 kWh, I need to be charged 80 kWh for electricity and service."

　　New Consumption Daily reporter learned that the NIO power station is located in different areas, and the electricity and service fees charged will also vary. Taking Beijing as an example, the power station in the Shangdian service area in Changping District has an electricity price of 0.73 yuan/kWh and a service fee of 0.53 yuan/kWh; while the power station in Chaoyang District is 1.31 yuan/kWh and a service fee of 0.8 yuan/kWh.

　　According to the calculation, if the battery with a capacity of 100 degrees is exhausted every time, the owner will spend 6,048 yuan and 10,128 yuan per year at the above two charging stations according to the four power changes per month. The time it takes to spend 30,000 yuan is 4.96 years and 2.96 years respectively.

　　The reporter who visited China-Singapore Consumer Daily found that not only NIO, but also the rights and interests of new car users of other brands are shrinking. In fact, in addition to NIO, other new energy vehicle companies are also charging and replacing electricity, more or less shrinking the rights and interests of some owners.

　　XPeng Motors has always insisted that the first owner enjoys a lifetime free charging service, with an annual charging limit of 3,000 kWh. After 2022, the charging limit will be reduced to 1,000 kWh.

　　FAW-Volkswagen has removed the 0 down payment battery rental policy for owners of ID new energy models, and the option rights have also shrunk accordingly.

　　Tesla updated its permissions for Model S/X supercharging service in May. Previously, older Model S/X models enjoyed lifetime free supercharging rights.

　　Only the first owner of the new Model S/X on sale today can enjoy a 3-year free supercharge benefit, and if the old model is replaced with a new model, the lifetime overcharge benefit will be replaced by the 6-year free overcharge benefit for the first owner.

　　Zhang Yazhi told the New Consumer Daily reporter: "From a corporate perspective, the price reduction of all NIO models and the separate sale of’lifetime power exchange rights’ may be to cope with competitive pressure and increase sales and market share. As the competition in the new energy vehicle market becomes increasingly fierce, various companies are adopting different strategies to compete for market share."

　　"Whether it’s Didi or Uber, subsidies are a sales pitch to attract consumers to’look over ‘and then become users." Some analysts say the platform has been waiting for the time to end the long "money-burning war". The merger of Didi and Uber is an "opportunity", so subsidies will sooner or later be reduced or even cancelled.

　　After the merger of Didi and Uber China, various questions have also arisen. Questions about the alleged monopoly of the two continue to emerge. The monopoly issue involves pricing power. At present, the combined market share of the two is greater than 90%. Passengers have questioned whether the price of online car-hailing after the merger will increase and the discount will be reduced. Online car-hailing drivers also doubt whether the rewards for drivers are getting less and less stringent. Uber employees began to consider the question of "where to go". After all, after the merger of Internet Tech Giants, the second team is often marginalized.

　　Beijing Youth Daily reporter’s investigation shows that the current pricing of Didi and Uber for passengers has not changed, but the corresponding discounts and incentives for drivers have indeed decreased. Although no one has left the Uber team yet, competitors have offered attractive conditions for poaching people.

　　passenger

　　Why is the fare higher than before?

　　Yesterday, the user "Astro Boy Head" posted a screenshot of "The same journey, Didi’s price increase is all recorded" on Weibo. The screenshot of the payment shows that an order "Astro Boy Head" paid only 2 yuan on July 27 and before, 5 yuan on July 30 and August 2, and 7.6 yuan from the 3rd. At the same time, there are many passengers on Weibo discussing the issue of Didi’s price increase.

　　The Beiqing Daily reporter found that, in fact, in the days of the merger of Didi and Uber, the unit price of Didi and Uber has not increased. At present, the charging standard of People’s Uber is 1.5 yuan/km + 0.25 yuan/minute; the charging standard of Didi Express is 1.8 yuan/km + 0.5 yuan/minute.

　　So why do passengers feel that the prices of Didi and Uber have increased? The reasons may be threefold: First, the subsidies of Didi and Uber for the passenger side have been reduced. A Beijing passenger reported that currently Didi only has the subsidy of "discount coupons", which are only for fixed models, and the discount is about 15% off, which can be said to have little impact on the price of taxis; while Uber has often launched activities such as "2 orders per day, 10 yuan off each order", or getting on/off the bus in a certain area to enjoy a 50% discount. He recalled that not long ago, the area of Beijing almost took turns to engage in this activity, which was very strong, but now it is gone.

　　In addition, although not after the merger news was announced, Didi and Uber did adjust their prices recently. The Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that Didi has raised prices sharply in many cities, and Uber has also adjusted its price standards in some cities. Last month, Didi Express quietly increased its price in Beijing, from 1.5 yuan/kilometer + 0.35 yuan/minute in September last year to 1.8 yuan/kilometer + 0.5 yuan/minute. According to reports from Guangzhou media, Didi’s price standard in Guangzhou rose from 1.4 yuan/kilometer + 0.45 yuan/minute to 1.8 yuan/kilometer + 0.5 yuan/minute in June. The latest billing standard is 2 yuan/kilometer + 0.55 yuan/minute, an increase of more than 30%. Although Uber’s recent charging standards in Beijing have not increased, according to a passenger in Wuhan, Uber’s charging standards in Wuhan have recently increased from 1.5 yuan/kilometer + 0.2 yuan/minute to 1.8 yuan/kilometer + 0.3 yuan/minute; according to local media reports in Guangzhou, Uber’s current price in Guangzhou is about 1.1 yuan/kilometer + 0.55 yuan/minute, while in March, Guangzhou Uber’s price was about 0.99 yuan/kilometer.

　　In addition, both Didi and Uber have corresponding "premium systems". After Didi and Uber reduce the rewards for private cars, passengers will encounter higher premiums when taking a taxi. That is to say, Didi and Uber’s billing standards are only under "normal conditions". Once they encounter conditions such as difficulty in taking a taxi, long waiting time, and bad routes, Didi and Uber will increase a certain multiple on the basis of the above-mentioned price standards. At this time, the price cannot be calculated according to the standard pricing method, but must be multiplied by a coefficient, which can be as high as or even more than 4. For example, when it rained heavily in Beijing last month, Uber increased the price by 4.2 times, and Didi increased the price by more than 3 times. In this way, the price of Didi and Uber is much higher than the current taxi in Beijing. A senior Didi passenger told the Beijing Youth Daily that Didi’s dynamic premiums are now "very frequent". "Anyway, when I need to take a taxi, there is basically no non-premium, 1.5 times, 2 times is very common." He said that although Didi will estimate the price before starting the journey, the words "premium multiple" are very small and may be ignored by some passengers. It should be noted that the current active drivers of Didi and Uber have decreased compared with the peak, and it is not uncommon to see premiums on the passenger side.

　　Didi and Uber’s rewards are gone?

　　A few days ago, some Didi Express drivers in Xi’an joined forces to speak out, saying, "Didi has won 49.12 yuan for 15 orders, 16 orders, 17 orders, and 18 orders, to 40 yuan for 20 orders, and 60 yuan for 30 orders… We use our own cars, our own oil, and our own insurance to work for Didi. In the end, Didi rewards us with an insurmountable threshold." According to Xi’an media reports, since August 4, Didi has reduced the rewards for all private car franchise drivers by 80%. It is expected that all rewards for private car franchise drivers will be cancelled in the near future.

　　In fact, Didi and Uber have been tightening incentives for drivers. Last winter, Didi’s subsidy policy was: a reward of 100 yuan for running 10 orders a day, a reward of 200 yuan for 20 orders, and certain requirements for the number of transactions on the previous day. After this year, the reward suddenly shrunk to 40 yuan for 10 orders a day and 90 yuan for 20 orders. At present, Didi’s end is a reward of 60 yuan for 20 orders a day, with an average reward of 3 yuan per order.

　　Uber’s rewards have been on the table with Didi. The reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that the current reward of Uber in Beijing has also dropped from 60 yuan for running 12 orders and 120 yuan for 22 orders at the beginning of this year to 40 yuan for 12 orders and 100 yuan for 22 orders. A former Uber owner told the reporter of Beiqing Daily: "I am too tired to do it. It takes at least 12 hours to run 22 orders. And Uber’s conditions are very harsh, and the average person needs more than 14 hours." The "harsh conditions" he mentioned means that in addition to the number of orders, Didi and Uber also have requirements on transaction rate (referring to the percentage of the final completed order to the number of orders) and service star rating. According to him, Uber’s terms rose from 50 per cent of the week’s transaction rate to 65 per cent, and its service rating rose from 4.7 to 4.8 stars, "it really takes a bit of luck".

　　In addition, the "newcomer award" for joining the platform is also gradually decreasing. According to the current newcomer reward policy of the Beijing Didi platform, the reward for completing 6 orders within 3 days of the activation of the new driver’s account is 58 yuan; the previous policy is to complete 2 orders within a week from the account activation. The reward is 50 yuan, and the reward for completing 5 orders is 100 yuan.

　　The phasing out of incentives has led to the loss of some drivers. Earlier this year, there were multiple reports that Didi and Uber’s subsidies for drivers had dropped sharply, some part-time drivers were withdrawing from the platform, and some full-time drivers left the platform after weighing the pros and cons. This situation caused the aforementioned passenger premium to increase.

　　follow up

　　Didi drivers will be deducted from more than 20% of their income

　　At present, the income of Didi and Uber drivers is mainly composed of the commission income of orders, the reward for completing orders, and the doubling premium during peak hours.

　　Drivers of Didi Express can only take about 74% of the order fee (including the premium), and about 26% of the fee is charged by the platform, insurance and labor service companies. The approximate proportion is that the platform charges 20% of the fee including the share of each order. In addition, the driver’s insurance is 0.5 yuan per order, and the affiliated labor service company also charges 1.17% of the reward and order fee.

　　The 20% of the "fare + peak reward" of the people’s Uber driver will be automatically deducted by the platform. A driver showed a reporter from Beiqing Daily a detailed list of his income for a certain week, which showed that he had collected a total of 137 yuan for sports cars for about 5 hours that week and 46 yuan for peak rewards. On this basis, the Uber platform deducted 20% of the fee, which is 36 yuan, plus a bonus fee of 32 yuan, and he finally got 180 yuan in income.

　　The order completion reward is a reward given by the platform when Didi and Uber drivers complete a certain order volume every day or within a specified time. For example, Didi’s policy on Friday is: 40 yuan for 12 orders and 100 yuan for 22 orders; Uber’s weekend policy is: 60 yuan for 22 orders and 190 yuan for 45 orders on Saturday and Sunday.

　　The policy of doubling the premium during peak hours is different every day. According to one Uber driver, Uber’s current doubling premium during peak hours is about 1.5 to 2 times, 1.1 to 1.3 times at peak times, and sometimes even no premium. According to his recollection, according to Uber’s peak premium policy last year, there was 1.8 times at peak times, and about 5 times at peak times. The recent peak doubling reward of Didi is even lower. According to data from Didi, at the peak on Friday morning and evening, the maximum income reward was only 1.2 times, and one Didi driver said that such a multiple was only a multiple of the previous peak.

　　It is worth mentioning that when Didi launched Didi Express in May last year, it promised that the service is a non-profit ride-sharing service, and all passengers’ payments go to the owner, and the software platform does not charge any fees. However, it did not take long for the platform to start charging a 20% commission.

　　analysis

　　When a monopoly becomes a reality, the cost will be passed on to consumers

　　Analysts said the apparent removal of discounts was not surprising, with the merger marking the end of competition between the two giants that dominate China’s nascent ride-hailing industry. For more than a year, Uber and Didi offered drivers steep subsidies, sometimes several times the fare, in an effort to lure users with low prices.

　　Behind the huge subsidies of Didi and Uber for more than a year is the repeated "burning of money" by investors. According to public information, Didi and Kuaidi conducted two rounds of E and F financing after the merger, raising a total of 8.642 billion yuan, and launched a new round of financing only half a year later. At present, Didi is conducting a G round of financing, and in addition to Apple’s $1 billion investment, it has also received more than $6 billion from other top gifters. The same is true for Uber, which also conducted two rounds of financing after registering a company independently in China, with a financing amount of more than 2.10 billion US dollars. Interestingly, the two mobility giants have at least four co-investors, including Tiger Fund, Hillhouse Capital, China Life and BlackRock.

　　A large amount of financing is used to subsidize drivers and passengers. Uber CEO Kalanick has said that Uber loses more than $1 billion a year in China. At the same time, he also estimated Didi’s subsidies. He said that Didi’s losses are too heavy, and it needs to subsidize 70 million to 80 million US dollars a week, which is about 4 billion US dollars a year. Later, Didi announced that this figure is false and too high, but according to industry analysts, Didi’s annual subsidy fee is at least twice that of Uber, which is about 2 billion US dollars. Since the merged company of Didi and Uber China occupies the vast majority of the market share in the online car-hailing market, whether it constitutes a monopoly or not, such a large market share affects the pricing power of Didi and Uber.

　　In the eyes of industry insiders, price increases are an inevitable trend. "Whether it is Didi or Uber, subsidies are a means of promotion, the purpose is to attract consumers to’look over ‘and then become users." Some analysts said that the platform has been waiting for the time to end the long "money burning war". The merger of Didi and Uber is an "opportunity", so the subsidy will be reduced or even cancelled sooner or later. Another transportation system expert said: "Why do Didi and Uber subsidize and burn money? He 10 billion and will get 20 billion yuan back from consumers. Once the monopoly comes true, the cost will definitely be passed on to consumers the fastest."

　　dynamic

　　China uses "feelings + options" to recruit Uber employees

　　After Didi and Uber were merged, Shenzhou Special Car released a set of posters with the theme "Love U". The boss Lu Zhengyao personally went to WeChat Moments to "show love" to Uber, openly recruited Uber employees, and offered tempting conditions of "as long as you come, you will give 6 months salary plus options".

　　In fact, when Didi and Uber announced the merger, Uber, as the "weaker" party, attracted a lot of attention to the whereabouts of its employees. Since last year, the trend of Internet Tech Giants merging has emerged, and various cases have also shown that after the merger of the boss and the second in the industry, the leader and team of the second will be marginalized, or even eventually eliminated.

　　At present, the Uber team has 800 employees. After the merger of the two companies, Uber China also used the method of deferring the exchange of options to retain employees. An Uber employee told the Beijing Youth Daily that as a multinational company, Uber’s culture is almost completely different from that of Didi, and he is worried about whether it will quickly integrate into the Didi company after the merger. Similar to this employee, there has been a pessimistic mood within the Uber team in the past few days. An Uber employee said he was "very heartbroken", and some said "I don’t know if it is helpless or sad". "Didi is awesome, but I don’t care, I’m a die-hard Uber loyalist," read an article called "Born Proud: Those Young People at Uber," which was widely shared among Uber’s team.

　　But an Uber employee told the Beijing Youth Daily that no one has left the Uber team yet, "everyone is still busy with their own work, doing the normal work at hand." He said that it is still in a transition period, "this stage generally will not leave, after all, I don’t know what the future will be like. If it is determined that it is not suitable, people may want to leave." Wen Jing, reporter of this newspaper

On the other hand, after experiencing a wave of Internet car building, many technology companies have chosen a more rational cooperation situation. At this point, Avita Technology Co., Ltd. was born, aggregating the resource advantages of Changan Automobile, Huawei, and Ningde Times, and becoming the most talked-about new brand.

On November 5, Avita Technology, a subsidiary of Changan Automobile, completed the first round of strategic financing and introduced three new strategic investors in the form of a consortium, with a total amount of 2.42 billion yuan. It is currently awaiting the final approval of the relevant departments of the state market supervision. If it goes well, the Ningde Times Consortium will hold 28.99% of the shares and become the second largest shareholder of Avita Technology.

　Compared with Dongfeng’s Landmap and BAIC’s Extreme Fox, despite the successful exploration of the UNI series, Changan’s high-end brand seems to have come a little late. In fact, Avita’s predecessor was Changan NIO, which was jointly established as early as 2018. The joint venture project has not made significant progress since its birth. On May 20 this year, Changan Automobile announced that Changan NIO New Energy Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd. was renamed Avita Technology Co., Ltd.

According to the plan, Changan Automobile will focus on building the technology ecosystem of technology companies in the future, and accelerate the construction of software and intelligent capabilities. And Avita Technology will become its important carrier. It is not difficult to see the importance attached to it through the new partners re-selected by Changan Automobile.

As the main body of the company, Changan Automobile has rich experience in vehicle manufacturing, and Huawei’s intelligent solutions and CATL’s advantages in the field of energy management ecology will serve as a driving force for Avita Technology to accelerate its catch-up.

According to Tan Benhong, chairperson and CEO of Avita Technology, Avita Technology will soon start a round of financing, and there will be independent listing plans in the future. And this month, the specific development strategy of the brand will be released this month, and its first high-end smart electric vehicle will also be unveiled simultaneously. In the face of today’s high-end smart new energy field melee, whether Avita can come later or talk about the product and the market.

First, look at the identification information

Pay attention to check the product identification information and the information on the product manual, and it has not been obtained after August 1, 2024.CCC certification and marking certification markThe power bank shall not be manufactured, sold, imported or used in other business activities.

Second, look at the rated capacity

In order to display the large capacity of the power bank, merchants usually mark the rechargeable battery capacity (such as 1000mA · h) in a conspicuous place, but during normal charging, the power bank’s output capacity cannot actually reach the battery capacity due to energy loss such as voltage conversion and heat generation.

The rated capacity is the effective discharge capacity of the power bank calibrated by the manufacturer. The higher the rated capacity, the more power the power bank can charge for the mobile phone!

III. See if the fast charging protocol matches

PD protocol refers to the USB-PD protocol. It is a fast charging protocol proposed by the USB-IF organization, which aims to provide high power transmission and faster charging speed. The fast charging protocol can be understood as a password between the mobile phone and the power bank. If both the mobile phone and the power bank support the PD protocol, it can be charged faster.

Fourth, pay attention to the rated capacity when taking the plane

According to the relevant regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration, the rated capacity of personal power banks does not exceed 100Wh, and the rated capacity exceeds 100Wh but does not exceed 160Wh. They can only be carried after being approved by the airline.

Foreword:

In March 2021, JD.com Health Geriatric Medical Center was officially launched, and Ali Health launched a gold nurse at the same time.

After the epidemic, almost all major Internet companies are actively deploying medical and health care. The huge demand for health care exposed by the epidemic has accelerated the layout and entry of Internet Tech Giants into the medical and health field. Recently, from the latest trends of Internet companies such as Alibaba and JD.com in the field of health services, their determination to implement Internet thinking into elderly health services has been landed.

It is undeniable that the Internet has changed the world, and its influence continues to permeate the life scenes covering food, clothing, housing and transportation. For traditional industries, every influx of Internet Tech Giants will inevitably bring a shock to the industry. Therefore, the dynamics of Internet Tech Giants in the field of elderly care services have also been paid attention to and even given expectations. This article will start from the dynamics of Internet Tech Giants in the field of medical and health care, and then explore where the development of the Internet health industry will go.

Internet Tech Giants Deepen Digital Penetration in Health Services

As early as in the community group buying war, there was speculation that since Internet Tech Giants have entered the community business, will any of them see the rich elderly care services in the community? It has been proved that Internet Tech Giants cut into medical health, and then from medical health into elderly care services, has been gradually carried out.

1. ByteDance: A Preliminary Study in the Field of Healthcare

According to public information, as of February 1, 2021, ByteDance has made a total of 37 foreign investments in the past 13 months. In addition to continuing to increase investment in education, Enterprise Services, and gaming, it has continued to build up the ante technology and started a new layout in medical, consumer, and other fields.

Figure: Xiaohe APP under ByteDance

In November 2020, ByteDance launched its first business brand "Xiaohe Medical" in the medical and health field, and also released the Xiaohe Doctor App for doctors and the Xiaohe App for consumers. This is a comprehensive medical app that includes online consultation, medical consultation, medical records, health assessment and other functions to benchmark Ali Health, Ping An Good Doctor.

2. Baidu: Betting on "AI" – the "reputation" battle of the old Internet giants

In the early days, Baidu entered the medical and health track with medical knowledge sharing and medical information retrieval, but its health services were widely criticized, especially in the field of medical search. Baidu was strongly criticized by the public for the "Wei Zexi incident", and medical bidding advertising accidents occurred frequently. Baidu was also under tremendous pressure from public opinion.

According to public information, with the help of AI technology, Baidu has created an AI medical smart medical platform – Lingyi Zhihui, and provided medical institutions with five technical solutions: Clinical Assisted Decision System (CDSS), Fundus Image Analysis System, Medical Big Data Solution, Intelligent Pre-diagnosis Assistant, and Chronic Disease Management.

At present, this part of the business is mainly for the B-end market, providing technical support for hospitals. This also shows that in the future, user traffic in the Internet medical industry will come more from the hospital and the health end, and will also give birth to more B-end cooperation. The coordinated development of government and enterprises has become the mainstream.

3. Tencent: Investment + cooperation, cutting into the field of big health

Tencent’s current layout in the field of big health includes the layout based on Tencent’s product WeChat, the construction of service platforms, the release of AI + medical products, and the establishment of offline clinics. In addition, Tencent has also made a lot of investment in other big health industries. Tencent has successively raised $170 million for Lilac Garden and Registered Network (later renamed WeDoctor Group).

At present, Tencent’s own medical products include: WeChat smart hospital, smart hardware product sugar doctor, insurance platform micro insurance, medical science platform Tencent medical code, medical artificial intelligence platform Tencent Miying.

4. Ali/JD.com: From pharmaceutical retail to health services

JD.com and Ali, as Internet manufacturers that started as e-commerce companies, have natural advantages in engaging in medical and health care: that is, through Taobao, Tmall, Alipay, JD.com and other traffic entrances, consumer medical services can reach users in an all-round way.

Picture: Ali Health and JD.com Health are both in

Alipay, Taobao and JD.com interface to open independent sections

In addition to their common drainage advantages, their layouts in the medical and health field are similar, with their businesses mainly focusing on pharmaceutical e-commerce, Internet hospitals, smart elderly care, and consumer healthcare.

In terms of medical health, after years of layout, Ali Health and JD.com Health have developed relatively mature. In the field of smart medical care, they mainly rely on artificial intelligence. Ali and JD.com currently have a number of smart products. Its "Internet medical" business is mainly to cooperate with a number of hospitals to provide patients with one-stop services from registration, consultation to drug purchase. Of course, there are health codes, cloud consultation, consumer medical and other businesses.

In several major sectors, they have great advantages in the Internet pharmaceutical retail track and are also the most mature. But at present, they are obviously not satisfied with the existing status quo, but have chosen to withdraw from the comfort zone of drug sales and circulation, gradually focus on health services, and try to gnaw this hard bone.

In the health service section, the Alipay [Medical Health] channel has recently launched the "door-to-door care" section. Alipay users can conveniently book nurse door-to-door care services provided by gold nurses through the App, including door-to-door injections, door-to-door dressing changes, after-hospital care, post-operative rehabilitation, medical assistance, and so on.

Summary: Internet giants entering the health service market have obvious advantages in terms of capital, technology, traffic, brand influence, etc., and their layout in the medical and health field is very similar, which shows that the business model of "Internet + medical and health" has been relatively mature.

Policy support, market and epidemic catalysis, Internet + medical health ushered in new development

Internet companies have entered the medical and health track one after another, which is inseparable from the dual drive of policy and market.

1. Favorable policy support

The "Internet + medical and health" model has been apparent in the industry for many years, and the national policy level has also listed informatization and standardization as the focus of national medical and health work.

At the policy level, the relevant provisions of "Internet + Drug Circulation" have been greatly relaxed. On November 12, 2020, the State Drug Administration officially released the "Drug Network Sales Supervision and Administration Measures (exposure draft) ". Compared with the previous round of exposure draft, the striking breakthrough of this draft is to "conditionally liberalize" online prescription drug sales, and clearly define some vague areas.

Many industry insiders said that if this management method is implemented, it will help to standardize the Internet drug sales behavior, and also help brand pharmaceutical retail enterprises to develop drug Internet sales. "The sales pattern of online prescription drugs may be re-divided."

At the same time, "Internet +" is also gradually included in the coverage of medical insurance. In August 2019, the National Medical Insurance Administration issued the "Guiding Opinions on Improving the Price of" Internet + "Medical Services and Medical Insurance Payment Policies", proposing unified guidelines on the project management and pricing mechanism of "Internet + Medical Services" and incorporating them into the coverage of medical insurance.

This move is also a key link in the development of Internet medical care. The promotion of electronic medical insurance cards across the country is conducive to the implementation of medical insurance card-free payment and the development of Internet medical care.

2, our country’s pension health industry has huge growth space

The current status of China’s elderly care industry, whether it is real-estate institutional elderly care or home-based community elderly care, the common problem they face is the lack of high-quality medical services. Although there are currently elderly care products and services for the disabled and semi-disabled elderly, it is difficult to meet the needs of China’s huge number of elderly people who lack the ability to live by themselves in both quantity and quality.

Through the intervention of Internet technology, social resources and medical resources can be efficiently allocated, and resource utilization can be maximized. Implant "Internet +" into the medical and elderly care system, starting from the diversified needs of the elderly, re-examine the relationship between elderly care and medical services, alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of elderly care services, and efficiently allocate medical resources.

3, the epidemic gave birth to Internet + health services

Previously, we have analyzed that the epidemic has spawned a community group buying market, which has caused Internet Tech Giants to flood into the community group buying war, bringing new business opportunities to community pension projects. In fact, in addition to community group buying, during the epidemic, the Internet medical industry has also shown explosive growth.

Picture: "Medical Museum" on the homepage of the Pinduoduo APP

According to public data, as of June 2020, there are nearly 600 Internet hospitals listed nationwide. As of now, Internet companies such as ByteDance, Alibaba, JD.com, Tencent, Pinduoduo, and Ele.me have medical and health tracks. For the huge medical and health market inspired by the epidemic, the "rich and powerful" Internet platform now sees a stage where it can show its skills.

4. It is the general trend for Internet companies to enter the medical and health track

Picture: Meituan "Internet celebrity" small medicine cabinet

The huge pharmaceutical market has allowed Meituan takeaway, Ele.me and other takeaway platforms with huge traffic advantages to also enter the pharmaceutical e-commerce market and enter the pharmaceutical O2O market. As early as 2015, Meituan takeaway had a comprehensive cooperation with the pharmaceutical O2O platform Jingle Kuaiyao, adding a "medicine" entrance, providing users with a "28-minute home delivery" service, and jointly building the country’s largest pharmaceutical O2O platform. In terms of operation, Meituan launched the "0.01 yuan to buy a small medicine cabinet" activity some time ago, which has also attracted a large number of users.

Alibaba, JD.com and other Internet giants have turned from pharmaceutical retailers to elderly care service providers, and the current entry into elderly health services has also caused a lot of shock in the elderly care circle. The actions of Internet Tech Giants, which are industry vane, also seem to suggest that health services promoted by the Internet medical ecosystem are one of the important trends in the future development of the health care industry.

Internet companies are entering medical and health services

Key features and trends

1. Pharmaceutical e-commerce is the starting point of Internet Tech Giants’ cross-border medical and health care, and it is also its main source of revenue

Whether it is a traditional Internet medical platform such as Ping An Good Doctor, WeDoctor or a rookie in the industry such as Ali Health and JD.com Health, medicine is the main source of its revenue. According to Ali’s 2020 financial report, Ali Health’s revenue in fiscal 2020 was 9.60 billion yuan, of which, the revenue of the pharmaceutical self-operated business reached 8.13 billion yuan, accounting for 84.8%, and the pharmaceutical e-commerce platform business was 1.17 billion yuan, accounting for 12.2%. The two together accounted for 97%. The pharmaceutical e-commerce business provoked the "big beam" of Ali Health’s revenue.

Similarly, according to public information, JD.com Health’s total revenue in the first half of 2020 8.80 billion, and the revenue of pharmaceutical e-commerce was about 7.70 billion, accounting for about 87.6%.

As an established Internet medical enterprise platform, Ping An Good Doctor and WeDoctor are similar to Ali Health and JD.com Health in that their main sources of revenue are pharmaceutical e-commerce. However, compared with Internet Tech Giants, which has an inherent traffic advantage, its pharmaceutical retail does not have much advantage.

According to public information, Ping An Good Doctor’s annual revenue in 2020 was 6.866 billion yuan, and the revenue of the pharmaceutical e-commerce business "Health Mall" was 3.713 billion yuan, accounting for about 54.07%. At present, it is trying to generate revenue through health insurance.

2. Shifting from pharmaceutical e-commerce to health services, more cautious

From the current dynamic of Internet companies in the field of elderly care services, they have adopted a more cautious attitude when entering elderly care services, choosing to enter this track through investment and cooperation.

For the in-hospital scenario of health services, choose to cooperate with hospitals, for example: as of the end of March 2020, Alipay has signed more than 15,000 medical institutions, including more than 3,900 secondary and tertiary hospitals, and in 17 provinces across the country, nearly 400 tertiary hospitals are connected to medical insurance payment.

For home medical care outside the hospital, it is to choose mature enterprises in the elderly care industry to cooperate. For example, JD.com and Ali have successively cooperated with gold nurses to solve the rigid demand for nursing services in the home care group. Therefore, for home care, Internet companies will not directly enter this market, but choose to enter through cooperation.

3. From online to offline, strive to create a closed loop of health management online and offline

In recent years, in order to advance the layout of health services, Ali, Tencent, JD.com and other players have already transformed the layout of the offline health industry and seized the track. In the field of pharmaceutical retail, in order to deepen the layout in the field of big health, Ali and Zhang Zhongjing Pharmacy jointly reformed the first future pharmacy in the country. At the same time, it also injected about 454 million yuan into Sushu civilian pharmacy. After that, it officially signed a strategic investment and cooperation agreement with Chinese Health, which mainly formed a deep interest bundle with physical retail pharmacies through the form of capital.

Tencent has followed the same path, investing about $500 million in the "largest" pharmacy chain in China – the pharmacy of Hillhouse Capital Group, which has nearly 12,000 stores across four platforms and stores in North China, Southwest China, Guangdong and Henan.

Picture: JD.com Group Launches "Home Doctor Guardian Star" Smart Speaker

The offline service scene mainly promotes intelligent elderly care in a technical way, and opens the door of the elderly care industry through the key of artificial intelligence offline. For the elderly at home, JD.com Group has launched "Home Doctor Guardian Star" smart speakers, "Elder Smartphones", and smart hardware products such as wearable devices for intelligent health management.

Picture: Tmall Genie

Alibaba uses the smart speaker "Tmall Genie" as the central control hub to build a "smart networked nursing home" to control high definition wireless cameras, various sensors, smart switches, LED smart light bulbs and other equipment. Tmall Genie cooperates with nursing homes in Beijing and other places to launch smart networked elderly care projects, providing advanced AI elderly care solutions for more nursing homes.

At the same time, they will also choose to cooperate with offline hospitals, offline health care communities, nursing homes and other institutions, and use their own advantages to empower health care institutions with digital intelligence technology to achieve online and offline integration, full-scene medical health and health care services, forming a closed loop for users from online consultation to in-hospital diagnosis to post-consultation health management.

4. The battle for talent could become the next point of competition

At present, in addition to relying too much on "selling drugs" for Internet + medical health revenue, its biggest disadvantage with traditional medical institutions lies in the training of doctor teams, especially in the Internet hospital sector, which has been opened by major Internet companies. The training of doctors is very weak.

Picture: The majority of physical hospitals are actively joining the construction wave of Internet hospitals

We can clearly see that Internet companies are playing more of the role of platform providers in Internet hospitals, consultations and other service links. This implies a problem, that is, when many Internet companies are starting to build "Internet hospitals" and "conquer cities and territories", whoever has the talent resources will have the advantage. Therefore, how to deeply bundle hospitals so that they can establish long-term cooperation with platforms? This is also the problem that Internet companies face when they smoothly enter from medical retail to health services.

The worst situation is that if there is a vicious competition, it may bring the dilemma of "choosing one of the two" to traditional hospitals. It will also cause chaos in Internet + health services and affect the market order. Of course, some Internet companies have also seen this problem, such as: JD.com Health and Geriatrics Center will cultivate geriatric medical talents through the establishment of geriatric medical schools, and promote the integrated development of medical services and health care services. And these self-trained professionals will also be transformed into talent reserves and enhance their competitiveness in the field of health services.

Conclusion:

Internet Tech Giants have unique advantages in terms of human, material and financial resources. Their competition in the field of health services will promote the upgrading of elderly health services, and will also bring more changes and innovations to the slightly dull elderly care industry. In the battle for medical and health care, whether it is a "hegemon" like Ali and JD.com or an "expert" like WeDoctor, Good Doctor, and Lilac Garden who win the final victory, it will bring a profound change to the elderly care service industry.

1905 movie network news In the first half of 2020, cinema movie viewing hit the pause button, but the online movie market was on the move.

　

According to public data statistics, in the first half of 2020, the number of online movies with box office share exceeding 10 million reached 30, double the number of 15 in the same period of 2019; the cumulative box office 528 million increased by 157.56% compared with the same period last year 205 million. Among them, the dual-platform broadcast of "Qimen Escape" created a new high for the single-piece box office of online movies.

As a yardstick for measuring the development of the industry, the breakthrough in the number of online movies with a box office share exceeding 10 million and the cumulative box office is not only an objective factor, but also related to the subjective factor of the collective improvement of the quality of the top works. More diverse themes, and the intersection of audiences and cinema films have become the keywords for the development of online movies in the first half of 2020.

　

30 works exceeded 10 million, and the number doubled year-on-year

After six years of precipitation, the development of online movies has passed the barbaric era of slash-and-burn cultivation and begun to move towards the era of high-quality industrial civilization. In the first half of 2020, the online movie market handed over a fairly good answer, dispelling the haze that the overall development of last year was less than expected.

　

It is understood that in the first half of 2019, 438 online movies were launched on major video platforms. Among them, there are 15 works with a share of tens of millions that can be checked. According to the latest public statistics, in the first half of 2020, 30 online movies with a share of tens of millions of box office reached 30. Among them, 20 works were broadcast on the iQIYI platform, 6 on Youku, and 5 on Tencent.

In terms of playback, except for the joint broadcast of "Qimen Escape" by iQiyi and Tencent Video, the remaining 29 works are all solo broadcasts. After 53 days of release, the cumulative box office share reached 53.034 million, setting a new record for the highest box office of a single online movie. This timeline is more than a year later than previously expected in the industry.

　

"Previously, there were simulcasts at the waist and tail, and the simulcast of the head work’Qimen Escape Armor ‘should be regarded as the first one." An online film practitioner said so. In her opinion, the dual-platform simulcast has too many accidental factors and is not representative. There may be no follow-up in the short term.

　

Although from the perspective of the film side, simulcast on different head platforms can maximize the box office revenue. But if there is no cooperation premise of independent broadcast, it is really difficult for the platform to give the optimal promotion resources and profit sharing in the station. In the future, the status quo of single-** broadcast of head works will continue.

　

Overall, the number of online movies released on major video platforms in the first half of 2020 was around 400, a significant decrease compared to 438 in the same period last year. For the industry, all this seems to be expected.

At China’s first online movie week held in October last year, iQIYI member and overseas business president Yang Xianghua revealed to the media that in the future, the platform will continue to reduce the number of online films and invest the budget in a smaller number of better films. It can be seen that reducing production has become the theme of online film development in 2020.

　

　

According to statistics, in 2019, there were nearly 40 online movies with a box office of 10 million. In the first half of 2020, this data has reached 30. On this basis, it is a foregone conclusion that the number of online movies with a box office of 10 million will exceed last year. In March this year, Tencent Video made public the rules and box office of online movies for the first time, which also made market data statistics more accurate.

　

Overall, the lack of cinema films in the first half of the year has played a certain role in boosting the market performance of online films. Coupled with the service and quality of the leading works themselves, the number of online films has increased sharply. Whether there will be more excellent works in the second half of the year still needs to be proved by the quality of the content.

Classic IP has strong ability to attract money, and the military and police themes perform well

In order to get a better return on investment, it has become the norm for online movies to be remade or adapted from classic IP. The innate audience base and emotional blessing can often make such movies get a lot of hidden dividends.

　

In the first half of 2020, online movies ranked among the top three at the box office, and the market popularity of "Qimen Escaping Jia", "A Thousand Women’s Ghost: Human Love", and "Ghost Blowing Lights in the Dragon Ridge Maze" all had IP effects. However, classic IP is also a double-edged sword. Many audiences will compare the original with the new work, and often criticize the latter more.

In the film genre, online movie audiences still prefer fantasy elements. At least ten of the 30 online movies with box office receipts exceeding 10 million contain this style.

　

In addition, the military and police themes that have performed well in theaters in recent years have also been sought after by online movie audiences. The four films of "Sniper", "Wolf Extermination Operation", "Wolf Eagle" and "SWAT Mission of the City Crisis" have obtained 2590.5 million, 18.932 million, 12.871 million and 10.147 million box office respectively.

　

Among them, "Sniper" was released on 3 days to break through 6 million box office, and the number of viewers exceeded 2.70 million. The iQIYI online movie March list shows that the film achieved 2445.7 million box office in 27 days, becoming the platform’s online movie box office champion in one fell swoop.

　　

The addition of a professional production team guarantees the quality of such content. In the list of producers of "Sniper" and "Wolf Extermination Operation", Golden Shield Film and Television Center ranks among them. Before this, Golden Shield Film and Television Center has produced "In the Name of the People", "Sparrow", "King of Special Soldiers" and other film and television dramas. In 2016, "King of Special Soldiers" created a precedent for military-themed online movies.

　

Under the dual role of policy support and market demand, the theme of military and police has become the "new blue ocean" of online film creation. In the future, there may be more such excellent works in the market.

　

Audiences intersect, revenue channels increase

In the first half of 2020, among the leading online movies, "A Thousand Ghosts: Human Love" was undoubtedly one of the most discussed works by audiences.

Previously, the distinct cinema film and online film audience groups began to intersect. During the epidemic, the cinema film promotion company that changed the track upgraded the marketing methods brought by the online film, and also enhanced the market awareness of the film.

　

At present, 23,000 netizens have given this film an average score of 4.9 points on Douban. This reflects to a certain extent that Douban users, who are mainly audiences of cinema movies, have begun to pay attention to online movies with young people in small towns as the main audience.

In an interview, Liu Zhaohui, the film’s producer, said that "an online movie is finally facing everyone’s comments by cinema standards."

　

　

Without a doubt, good content is the best tool to break through the audience barrier between cinema movies and online movies.

An online movie "Pisces Meteorite" that did not perform well at the box office has attracted the attention of many theater audiences, precisely because the quality of the content it provides exceeds audience expectations. In a state of near naked publicity, relying on the tap water of the audience, 13,000 people gave a good score of 6.9 on the average of Douban.

"Facts have proved that even if a good story is based on a 50-cent special effect, it will still immerse people in it." One netizens’ evaluation was highly praised. Some viewers even suggested that the film could be remade into a cinema movie in the future.

"The new audience may not be the audience of online movies at ordinary times, and their requirements for online movies may be higher, so it is a good thing for the industry, but for practitioners, it will not have much impact. They all need to make solid content, and joining the top content competition is the last word for development," Long Jian, the head of Chongqing’s small bench film industry and the producer of the online movie "Please God Lamp 1", said in an interview.

　

In addition to the intersection of users, the profit channels of online movies have begun to converge with cinema movies. Liu Zhaohui said in an interview with 1905 Film Network that more than a dozen teams have come to negotiate overseas copyright matters for movies. In addition, the sale of derivatives around leading online movies will also be possible in the future.

　

It should be noted that obtaining the Dragon Label is a prerequisite for online movies to go overseas. In the first half of 2020, only 5 of the 30 online movies with a box office of over 10 million won the Dragon Label. This requires the producer to have relevant layout plans when they start to code the disc.

　

"In April and May, we saw that users were reducing their viewing time. Maybe they spent too much time watching videos during the epidemic and were a little tired, so this is a natural decline. Coupled with the resumption of work, production, school, etc., these factors will also reduce this consumption." On May 19, in a conference call after the earnings release, Gong Yu, founder and CEO of iQIYI, explained the reasons for the recent decline in online movie data.

　

According to statistics, only two online movies broke the 10 million mark in May 2020. After achieving excellent results in the first half of the year, the overall trend of online movies in the second half is still full of variables. The only constant is that the audience and the market will not live up to good content.
