In the 2021 CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the Year of the Ox, Di Lizheba brought a wonderful song and dance performance to everyone. This time she was a guest, and in an exclusive interview with the Spring Festival Gala, Reba said that for the second time on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, "there is a feeling of returning home". For this year’s performance, Di Lizheba gave herself 82 points, and the remaining 18 points were lost in age.

When asked about the personalized mobile phone case that netizens are quite concerned about, Di Lizheba said that matching the mobile phone case according to her clothes is her joy of life, and maybe she will open an online store in the future. In the interview, the host asked her for tips on maintaining her beauty under various cameras, and she replied "born" in Versailles, and admitted that she rarely looks in the mirror.

In 2021, Di Lizheba’s biggest wish is to hope that the epidemic will end quickly, and look forward to seeing her new drama and audience. At the end of the interview, Di Lizheba also showed her "Versailles" New Year’s greeting method: "I hope everyone can receive more red envelopes, unlike me who doesn’t need to receive red envelopes and needs to send red envelopes to others by myself."

Interview transcript:

Now we would like to welcome Di Li Reba to our interview room for New Year’s Eve dinner.

Di Lizheba: Hello everyone.

: Welcome Reba. Today is very beautiful. What do we have in mind for this costume for this year’s Spring Festival Gala?

Di Lizheba: This year is actually wearing red, hoping to have a prosperous New Year.

: I hope there is a particularly good prize, right? We would like to ask, that is, everyone is very concerned about your mobile phone case. It feels that every time you travel, you have to change a different mobile phone case for each set of clothes. Everyone is very concerned. Is there any new match this time?

Di Lizheba: I used a transparent one today because you can add some words on it, or put some cards, invoices, etc.

: Invoice, and then take it home for reimbursement?

Di Lizheba: For my parents.

So it is this mobile phone case that has become a very big pleasure in your life. It has also become a very big pleasure for this netizen. Open an online store in the future.

Di Lizheba: Yes, I also think that it’s all here, I have to open a store.

It’s not the first time to go to the Spring Festival Gala, will you still be nervous?

Di Lizheba: No, I was super nervous the first time. I was already nervous when I received the notice that I was going to the Spring Festival Gala, but now I feel like I’m going home, because everyone is familiar with it, and the stage is also very familiar.

So on the stage of this year’s Spring Festival Gala, how many points would you rate yourself?

Di Lizheba: I scored almost 82 points on the stage of this year’s Spring Festival Gala.

82 points, and what about the remaining ten points?

Di Lizheba: Lost in age.

So this is pretty good, but I think, because Reba’s beauty is known to everyone, it is like a fairy, and then all the Reuters photos, including the pixel people, are very beautiful under the lens itself.

Di Lizheba: I hope this interview is just as good, otherwise it will be a slap in the face.

So hurry up and show us all the netizens we interviewed to teach us, how can you still have such beauty under the lens of passers-by or under the lens of amateurs?

Di Lizheba: Born.

: This is a bit of Versailles. I usually practice in front of the camera or in front of the mirror at home, for example, which angle looks good and how to shoot?

Di Lizheba: I don’t like looking in the mirror very much, and I don’t like to touch up makeup very much either, unless it means that you can take a look at what’s wrong with you here, and then I’ll take a look. When I’m filming, I rarely go to the mirror to see myself in the mirror.

So this is that everyone has no choice, too Versailles, everyone can only ask for their own blessings, okay? But 2021 is the Year of the Ox, do you have any new wishes, or do you have any wishes for another New Year’s Eve, when it crosses twelve o’clock?

Di Lizheba: In fact, I think this year’s words should be the New Year’s wish of people all over the world, that is, I hope the epidemic will pass as soon as possible, everyone can get together as soon as possible, and return to normal life as soon as possible. It is normal now, but there are still some capriciousness in the epidemic, and I hope it will resume as soon as possible.

Yes, I believe this. In 2021, I believe that the works will soon meet with you, including "Long Song" and "You Are My Glory". I hope that this new role will be liked by everyone.

Di Lizheba: Especially in the case of "Long Singer", because when I was filming "Long Singer", in fact, I think I grew up with it, and I will benefit more, that is, the role I play. So I hope that when you see "Long Singer", you will see a different me, and then I also hope that my play can meet you soon. I am also very much looking forward to it, and I want to follow this drama myself.

So we’re especially looking forward to "The Long Song". Also, "You Are My Glory" is a female star, right? A female star who performs so many female stars, what kind of envy do you have for the female stars in the play?

Di Lizheba: In the play, I actually think she is quite realistic, whether it is her work status or her daily life. In fact, I think although it is very realistic, I still think there is a big difference, because the biggest difference is that I prefer to have my own life in life. I will take care of it myself later, and then she needs an assistant to deliver three meals a day. I don’t like that feeling very much. Also, maybe her personality will be more like the feeling I had five or six years ago, that is, more lively, and then more cute, a little quirky, and more extroverted, but I may be the same age as mine now, and the conditions are almost the same as mine, but I myself may be more mature than her role.

: Just now we talked about this character. We are very much looking forward to "You Are My Glory" and "Long Song". These two characters will meet you in 2021. Today we also have a small part on the scene. Do we need to invite all the artists who came to the interview room to paint an auspicious picture?

Di Lizheba: I have to paint every year. I really hate it.

Yes, we’re going to draw a stick figure. Can you show it to everyone?

Di Lizheba: Oh my God, this board slaps you in the face.

It is a calf.

Di Lizheba: Fat cow. Happy cow year, happy new year to everyone.

: I wish you all a happy new year, no one, we can ask the staff to collect it first. Then we can hold this very auspicious calf and say a Versailles-style greeting to everyone.

Di Lizheba: I see. I wish everyone a happy new year. I hope you can receive more red envelopes. Unlike me, who doesn’t need to receive red envelopes and needs to send red envelopes to others by myself, is there a lot of Versailles?

Yes, yes, others received it, but you sent it out, because we have money, which proves that we are not bad this year.

Di Lizheba: It sounds a bit pitiful, I’ll finish it myself.

On the other hand, it proves that our KPIs this year are not bad, and we also wish Reba the same wonderful 2021, Happy cow year and happy new year.

Di Lizheba: Happy New Year.

Red carpet observation: Tan Zhuo changed clothes 3 times on the red carpet, "Party" and "Liberated" revealed the intention schedule

The opening red carpet of the Shanghai Film Festival every year is a star-studded event. This year is no exception. Dozens of blockbuster Chinese-language film crews have come here one after another, and many female actors have also changed their clothes several times, making the red carpet feel good. Among them, Tan Zhuo, who starred in "The Man Taken Away by Light" and appeared as a judge of the Yaxin Awards, stepped on the red carpet three times in succession, and experienced the whole audience. On the red carpet, she and Su Youpeng took pictures of the CP version of the "Concubine Gao Guifei and the Fifth Brother", which also set off a small climax on the scene. In addition, Shu Qi, Zhang Jingchu, and Zhong Chuxi also changed their clothes twice and stepped on the red carpet to promote the new film.

On the opening red carpet, the creator of "The Wild Goose Lake" danced the "16-step dance", which was the most unique appearance of the night. The film was just screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and this time it came to the Shanghai Film Festival. Director Diao Yinan revealed that if nothing else, the audience will see the "16-step dance" of the stars in the cinema again in the summer. In addition, director Li Shaohong also appeared with the new film "Liberated" starring Zhou Yiwei, Zhong Hanliang and Zhong Chuxi.

Infield Live: Chairperson of the Jury Ceylon sends a message to Chinese films, Shu Qi Luhan Tang Wei introduces the finalists

This year’s Shanghai Film Festival received 3,964 entries from 112 countries and regions around the world. In the end, 15 films were shortlisted for the Golden Goblet Award, which will compete for important awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress.

Before the official judging of the Golden Goblet Awards, the chairperson of the judges, Nuri Bigg Ceylon, also took to the stage to address the Chinese film. In his eyes, Shanghai is a city full of charm, and he smells the film when he steps on this land. Speaking of his new identity, he said that there is nothing more enjoyable than evaluating the film. "The story in the film is fictional, but every filmmaker is real, and I am willing to present this truth to everyone."

Then, Shu Qi, Lu Han, Tang Wei and Lei Jiayin also took the stage to introduce the 15 shortlisted films for the Golden Goblet Awards of this Shanghai Film Festival. They are: "Brotherhood", "Castle of Dreams", "Escape from Town", "Heaven Help My Friend", "Between Breaths", "Fourth Lane", "A Serenade", "Birthday", "Dream Ballet", "Bringing the Country Heart", "Rosa", "Guardian of Light and Shadow", "Spring Tide", "Wusheng Sunlight", "Take the Risk".

Special recommendation: Zhang Ziyi and Wu Jing take the stage with "The Climber" to talk about the climbing spirit of filmmakers

The scene specially recommended the film "The Climber", director Li Rengang, producer Xu Hark, starring Zhang Ziyi, Wu Jing, Zhang Yi, Jing Boran, Hu Ge, Wang Jingchun and others have come to the stage to talk about the climbing spirit of the filmmakers.

The film tells the story of the 1960 Chinese mountaineering team of Wang Fuzhou, Kampot (Tibetan) and Qu Yinhua who completed the first Chinese ascent of Mount Everest. Producer Tsui Hark said that on the road to the future, everyone must have the spirit of a climber if they want to overcome all difficulties. The star Zhang Ziyi said that in his 20 years of film, he has witnessed the vigorous development of Chinese films, and believes that "The Climber" will be another new climb for Chinese filmmakers.

Wu Jing, the lead actor, recalled the filming experience, saying that he thought he was fine at first, but ended up on the set and experienced the hardships of mountaineering heroes. He lamented that they used their flesh and blood to prove the spirit of China’s height at the highest peak in the world. Zhang Yi also revealed that before finishing, he specially went to the foot of Mount Everest to build two mani piles for the heroes who dedicated their lives to the Chinese mountaineering cause, hoping that this climbing spirit will always grow in him.

Opening film: Hu Ge Gui Lunmei takes the stage to introduce "The Call Through Time and Space"

Near the end of the opening ceremony, Hu Ge and Gui Lunmei took the stage to introduce the opening film "The Call Through Time and Space." The film, directed by Zhang Jiarui and starring Yao Di and Song Ningfeng, tells the story of a female writer who comes to the Yangtze River waterway to find her life and gradually understands the poignant love of her parents’ generation.

Director Zhang Jiarui said that during the preparation of the film, the actors’ schedules were very tight. But he insisted that the actors go to the shooting site to experience life, read the script around, conduct physical interviews, and gain a deeper understanding of local life. "Only in this way can our film be real and delicate, and the shooting is down-to-earth."

It is reported that the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival will hold an awards ceremony on the evening of June 23. At that time, the major awards of the Golden Goblet Awards will be announced one by one.

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…

The original title: Real estate developers dominate the list of China’s richest people, Xu Jiayin’s wealth surpasses Pony Ma and Ma Yun

In recent years, China’s Internet companies have grown rapidly and have become world giants in one fell swoop. Whether it is Alibaba or Tencent, they have attracted global attention. In the past, Ma Yun and Pony Ma also came and went, and the top spot of China’s richest man took turns, which can also see the powerful power of the new economy. However, since the beginning of this year, the situation has changed. With the soaring housing prices in China, the performance of real estate giants has also risen with the tide. Leading companies in the real estate industry such as Evergrande, Country Garden, and Vanke have become the biggest winners of this "destocking" and made a lot of money.

Ma Yun

A few days ago, the 2017 Hurun Rich List released, China’s richest man by Hengda Xu Jiayin won, wealth is 290 billion yuan, leading in the second place Ma Yun 40 billion yuan; Ma Ma’s wealth is 250 billion yuan, mainly benefited from Tencent’s stock price rose; Ma Yun to 200 billion yuan worth third, Wang Jianlin is ranked fifth.

Similarly, China’s richest woman also comes from the real estate sector. She is Yang Huiyan of Country Garden. In the past year, her wealth has increased by more than 100 billion yuan, and her worth has reached 160 billion yuan. In the list of Chinese women’s wealth, she has ridden the dust and left others far behind. In terms of value, Yang Huiyan is second only to Jack Ma, ahead of Wang Jianlin, and ranks fourth on China’s rich list, up 18 places from last year. Yang Huiyan is also the only woman on the list of the top 10 richest people in China.

Hurun richest list top 10

China’s real estate is entering the era of oligarchs, and the performance of large real estate companies is soaring. In the first half of 2017, Evergrande’s contract sales reached 244.10 billion yuan, an increase of 72.2% year-on-year; the turnover was 188 billion yuan, an increase of 114.8% year-on-year; and the net profit was 23.10 billion yuan, an increase of 224% year-on-year. The surge in performance has made Evergrande’s share price soar by 500% this year, and Xu Jiayin, who holds 74.2% of the shares, is worthy of becoming China’s richest man. Last year, Xu Jiayin’s wealth was only 78 billion yuan, ranking tenth.

Xu Jiayin

Country Garden’s performance is also growing at a high speed, helping Yang Huiyan to have no rival in the female rich list. Zhou Qunfei and his wife, the founder of Lansi Technology, who once topped the list of China’s richest women, have a wealth of 71.50 billion yuan, ranking 20th in China’s richest list, a big gap with Yang Huiyan.

But the dominance of real estate in China’s economy is not a blessing. With the domestic economy slowing, skyrocketing housing prices have forced most homebuyers to put up three generations of savings for a down payment. The skyrocketing housing prices have pushed up a series of costs, making it difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Real estate cannot become the core competence of a country. Too much reliance on real estate will inevitably squeeze the economy and suppress consumption. Today, families who want to buy a house have to tighten their belts and save money to buy a house, and even then they have to bear the mortgage for decades. Today, whether it is friends or colleagues, sitting together, they can’t help but talk about houses, and real estate has even become the dividing standard of social hierarchy, which is unfair.

Pony Ma

Rather than real estate dominating the Chinese economy, we would rather see a situation where a hundred flowers bloom, technology companies grow rapidly, and the real economy is booming and full of vitality. In this way, our economy is healthy, and we will not be kidnapped by real estate and lose everything. Wealth accumulated by real estate is on top of the hardships of building ordinary families. Ma Yun once said, "If Wang Jianlin wins, then the whole society loses." Today, although Wang Jianlin has dropped out of the list of the richest people, the richest people still belong to real estate developers. Three of the top five richest people in China are real estate developers. Text/Xu Shangfeng

After experiencing a sustained sales slump in April and May, NIO’s second-quarter performance unexpectedly bottomed out again.

On August 29, NIO released the second quarter financial data show that the second quarter NIO operating income 8.77 billion yuan, less than the market expected 9.254 billion yuan, down 14.8% from last year, down nearly 20% from the first quarter of this year.

In terms of car sales, directly affected by the failure to control the rhythm of product replacement in April and May, NIO’s sales in the second quarter were 23,500 vehicles, down 6.1% year-on-year and 24.2% month-on-month. This is also the lowest quarterly sales of NIO since the second quarter of 2021.

With the decline in revenue and the continued expansion of R & D costs, NIO’s gross profit in the second quarter was only 87 million yuan, a decrease of 93.5% compared with the second quarter of 2022, and the same "halving" compared with Quarter 1 this year. In the second quarter of this year, NIO’s overall gross profit margin has declined to 1%, compared with 13% in the same period last year.

In the contrast of Li Auto has turned losses into profits for three consecutive quarters, NIO’s net loss is further expanding. Data show that NIO’s net loss in the second quarter was 6.056 billion yuan, an increase of 119.6% over last year and a month-on-month increase of 27.8%.

As of June 30, 2023, NIO cash reserves were 31.50 billion yuan, a decrease of 6.30 billion yuan from the first quarter. According to Horizontal comparison, Li Auto and XPeng Motors cash reserves were 73.77 billion yuan and 33.74 billion yuan respectively.

NIO CEO Li Bin said at the previous financial results meeting that in the first and second quarters of this year, new product launches affected the company’s operating cash flow. After that, some fixed asset investments and some R & D projects will be postponed, and in terms of going overseas, it will also focus on countries that have entered Europe. According to its estimates, with the rebound in sales in the third quarter, cash flow will improve.

In terms of cost expenditure, NIO R & D costs remained high, reaching 3.345 billion yuan in the second quarter, an increase of 55.6% year-on-year and 8.7% quarter-on-quarter respectively. The financial report pointed out that the increase in R & D expenses was mainly due to the increase in R & D personnel costs, equity incentive expenses, and the design and development of new products and new technologies.

NIO is the car company that invests the most in R & D projects among the "Wei Xiaoli" three. At present, NIO is simultaneously promoting the development of three car brands, and at the same time is conducting self-research on core components such as autonomous driving chips, batteries and motors.

Also in terms of sales expenses, NIO is also the one with the highest expenditure among the three new forces. As a user-oriented enterprise, NIO invests a lot in power replacement, sales channels, user maintenance, etc., which also leads to the problem of high operating costs for a long time.

Data show that NIO sales, general and administrative expenses reached 2.857 billion yuan in the second quarter, an increase of 25.2% and 16.8% year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter respectively. In comparison, Li Auto and XPeng Motors’ sales expenses were only 2.31 billion yuan and 1.54 billion yuan respectively.

NIO will further increase its sales staff to meet the need to sell seven to eight models simultaneously, Mr. Li said on a second-quarter earnings call, adding that channel sinking remains an urgent task.

"Since July, we have started to comprehensively improve our sales capacity. The goal is to lock in the sales capacity of 30,000 vehicles per month. The construction of this sales capacity will be completed by the end of September, and the results of the sales capacity building will gradually appear from October. In the lower-tier market, we hope that more experienced sales personnel can join."

Under the premise that these rigid expenses are difficult to compress, NIO needs to sell more cars and maintain a stable cash flow more urgently than other car brands. If the operating rhythm is wrong and there is a sales crisis, the cost of advance planning for forward planning may drag NIO into crisis again.

In the second quarter of this year, NIO was once in a dangerous moment. Fortunately, with the launch of ES6 and ET5T new cars, NIO returned to the "10,000-car club" in June. In July, NIO maintained its growth momentum, and the monthly delivery exceeded 20,000 for the first time, finally breaking the curse of "Wei 10,000".

According to the latest weekly report released by Li Auto, the cumulative delivery volume of NIO from August 1st to August 27th is 16,000. NIO sales in August will likely exceed 20,000 again.

However, according to NIO’s guidance for the third quarter, the number of vehicles delivered in the third quarter is between 55,000 and 57,000. This means that NIO’s average deliveries in August and September were between 17,300 and 18,300 vehicles. If NIO wants to achieve its goal of 250,000 vehicles for the whole year, it needs to sell at least 110,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter.

Li Bin pointed out that sales reached 20,000 in July, in part due to the decline in power exchange rights.Users who have rigid demand for power replacement will be released in advance. The preferential policy for power replacement ended in August, and it will take some time for orders to return to normal levels.

"The good news is that the number of test drives currently exceeds a record high, reaching about 10,000 every weekend, but it will take time from test drives to order conversion. In addition, considering the macroeconomic and external economic environment, we have comprehensively formulated this guideline target." Li Bin revealed that the next step will be to accelerate the conversion of orders through more channel coverage and sales capacity enhancement.

According to Li Bin’s estimate, NIO is selling ET5, ET5T, ES6 and EC6 will be listed in September, the sales of the four models are expected to reach 15,000 to 20,000, superimposed on the remaining models to increase sales, and monthly sales are confident to stabilize at more than 20,000.

With deliveries recovering, NIO expects third-quarter revenue to reach 18.90 billion yuan to 19.52 billion yuan, an increase of 45.3% to 50.1% year-on-year, the highest revenue guidance in history. From the guidance, NIO hopes to achieve a "bottoming out" in the third quarter.

NIO CFO Feng Wei said during the earnings call that NIOThe third quarter cash flow will be significantly improved, achieving double-digit gross margins, and the fourth quarter gross margin is expected to reach 15%.

It is worth mentioning that the NIO brand will not deliver new products next year, but there will be regular modifications. Alps will release the first product in the second half of next year. The test car has been rolled off the production line, and the second car of the brand is also under development.

In addition, the NIO phone will be released in late September this year. Li Bin believes that,The launch of NIO mobile phones will help increase the competitiveness of NIO models and better match the demand for mobile devices.

In terms of external cooperation, Li Bin revealed that he is initially discussing the cooperation of next-generation power stations and battery packs with external automobile companies. "Entering the power exchange network requires the re-development and transformation of the car, which is a major decision for the car company and requires time (consideration). "

　　On April 22, Wuzhen International Internet Center, Meizu held a 15-series new product launch conference with the theme of "Sculpting Time and Reshaping Classics", which is not only a classic tribute to Meizu in the past 15 years, but also a new situation for Meizu’s mobile phone future.

　　The Meizu 154G + 64G released this time is 2499 yuan, 4G + 128G is 2799 yuan; Meizu 15 Plus 6G + 64G is 2999 yuan, and the top version 6G + 128G is 3299 yuan; Meizu M154G + 64G version is only 1699 yuan. The affordable price brings a leapfrog new experience. It will be available on all channels on April 29. It can be snapped up in the online Meizu official mall, Meizu Tmall official flagship store, Meizu JD.com official flagship store, Meizu Shang official flagship store and Meizu Gome flagship store and offline Meizu national specialty stores, Gome, Xiang, Dixintong, Leyu and other social channels mobile phone stores.

　　This time, the meizu 15 series mobile phone released heavily, equipped with the world’s top photosensitive element Sony IMX 380, a new touch engine, and classic evolutionary technologies such as mBack and surgical-grade stainless steel body, "making the experience better" Flyme 7.0 and other advantages, breaking the middle end, bringing consumers leapfrog enjoyment, and re-establishing the mid-range mobile phone benchmark.

　　At the press conference, Meizu Chief Marketing Officer and General Staff Officer Yang Zhe highlighted the dark light shooting capabilities of the Meizu 15 series. The Meizu 15 series uses the world’s top photosensitive element Sony IMX 380 to escort it. The upgrade of hardware has greatly improved its shooting capabilities in dark light environments. The Meizu 15 with better imaging and stronger picture sense allows consumers to truly feel the unique charm of night shooting. In this regard, Mike Yamashita, a gold medal photographer of National Geographic magazine in the United States and one of the world’s famous contemporary photography masters, also came to the press conference to share some experience in photography with Meizu 15 and highly affirmed the photography capabilities of Meizu 15.

　　In addition to Sony’s customized IMX380 photosensitive element, the Meizu 15 series is equipped with the industry’s highest 1.55 μm single photosensitive pixel area and 1/2.3 inch 12 million pixel photosensitive element size. The larger single pixel size makes the amount of light entering the photo more, the clarity and purity of the picture are higher, and the texture of the overall picture will be significantly improved. Through the blessing of these two items, the Meizu 15 series will bring a better experience at the camera level. At the same time, the Meizu 15 series has become the best camera phone in Meizu so far.

　　In addition to the photo hardware enhancement, the soft configuration of the Meizu 15 series has also been enhanced, with triple lossless zoom, AI intelligent beauty, new portrait mode, virtual + beauty, and extremely fast capture. It is worth mentioning that the 3x lossless zoom achieved by the 15 series has greatly improved the user’s shooting experience, even for distant scenes, it can still achieve clear restoration. At the same time, the four-axis optical image stabilization of the Meizu 15 series is combined with software such as multi-frame noise reduction and ArcSoft HDR algorithm, which greatly improves the overall brightness, purity and detail of the picture in low-light scenes. Compared with the same price products in the market, it can be called the camera emperor.

　　In the era of consumers paying more attention to selfies, Meizu 15 series can completely dispel users’ knots: front 20 million pixels, AI intelligent beauty, new portrait mode, etc., let you love selfies and become your exclusive portrait photography expert. The innovation and upgrade of its selfies will also become a revolutionary experience in the history of Meizu.

　　At the press conference, Meizu also brought a new experience of human-machine interaction. Since the development of full-screen mobile phones, the tactile feedback of physical buttons has been difficult to be felt. In front of the cold machine, it seems that there is a lack of human-machine feedback. Just when everyone weakens the tactile feedback, Meizu 15 has built a horizontal linear motor mEngine from the same supplier as the iPhone. Let users retrieve the pleasure of pressing physical buttons.

　　From the actual scene application point of view, the "global haptic feedback system" brought by the Meizu 15 series once again adds new achievements to the Android camp, and users can get different haptic feedback in 45 scenarios. For a simple example, when you turn on the flashlight with the Meizu 15, you will feel the shock caused by the touch of your fingertips on the screen. Its three-level shock real simulation restores the realistic touch of the switch flashlight, allowing you to feel the new life of the mobile phone. In addition, even in the most ordinary typing, taking pictures, and answering phone scenes, the real haptic restoration experience is still very exciting. This is undoubtedly a new revolution in human-machine interaction in the full-screen era

　　Charm classic innovative design, improve the mobile phone industrial design system

　　In the past 15 years, Meizu has accumulated a complete mobile phone industrial design system and has a huge technical precipitation. Like the Meizu 15 series, the return of the classic small circle, the evolution of the one-size-fits-all antenna, and the continuation of the extremely narrow bezel design of the MX series are all manifestations of the classic design of the Meizu 15 series. The Meizu 15 series is equipped with a front fingerprint recognition function. While inheriting the classic, it also gave birth to a product that may be the smallest and fastest fingerprint recognition module in the world. Its unlocking speed reaches an astonishing 0.08S and the correct recognition rate reaches 99%. At the same time, the classic return of mBack’s interactive experience has also made countless Meizu friends call it enjoyable.

　　The details are in the real chapter. This time, Meizu 15 reduced the number of openings in the whole machine and made the top earpiece a hidden design, which not only ensured the simplicity of the front panel, but also ensured the aesthetics of the whole machine. In addition, the hidden earpiece was also placed with breathing light, so that the integrated design aesthetics could present the perfect "handicraft".

　　In addition, the Meizu 15 series stainless steel composite body is coated with an ultra-thin layer of stainless steel material on the basis of the high-strength aluminum alloy back shell, and makes it integrally formed, ultimately maintaining an excellent stainless steel metal touch. Because of the use of special materials, the Meizu 15 series also adopts a new "physical vapor deposition" coloring process, which ultimately brings four noble color expressions to consumers, Yakin, Ink, Dailan and 15Plus, Wu Grey.

　　It is worth mentioning that Meizu is also equipped with an exclusive white fuselage for the 15 – Ru Kiln White, which is still an all-metal body. The surface layer adopts a high-precision piano paint baking process, and the paint from Kaxiu, one of the world’s top six paint factories, is selected. After seven times of baking, seven times of baking, and five times of polishing, it finally achieves a luster and texture close to ceramic-like warmth and jade.

　　The classic design inheritance and evolution, the new metal texture material upgrade, the return of the classic small circle, and the change of the one-size-fits-all antenna only show Meizu’s reshaping of the classic and the sublimation of the classic. The 2499 yuan Meizu 15 is sold to the mid-range market, and its product quality will make Meizu 15 a mid-range game breaker, and will bring consumers at the economic level to surpass the mid-range experience.

　　Flyme 7 makes the experience even better

　　As one of the best customized systems in China, Flyme has played an indispensable role in shaping the Meizu brand. The Flyme 7 released with Meizu 15 this time can be said to have earned enough attention. The UI interface that continues the usual simple and beautiful design style and many new practical functions are all eye-catching. It is commendable that with the upgrade of One Mind’s intelligent thinking engine, the Meizu 15 equipped with Flyme 7 has significantly improved in terms of performance, safety, and operation efficiency, further narrowing the distance between consumers and smart phone systems.

　　In 2016, Meizu took the lead in launching its self-developed artificial intelligence engine, One Mind, to bring a new experience to users. Today, Flyme 7 has taken it a step further and launched an open artificial intelligence exploration program, the "One Mind Connected Program", which integrates the most advanced intelligent algorithms into the One Mind AI engine through cooperation with the world’s top companies in the field of artificial intelligence. Now Flyme7 has platform-level AI empowerment capabilities. It not only has the special service functions of personal assistant and smart screen recognition, but also the beauty scheme that accurately matches the characteristics of characters makes your beauty more natural. From a security perspective, Flyme 7 has partnered with Tencent Security, relying on its technical support, to become the world’s first system with a built-in AI anti-virus engine. AI security makes malicious applications nowhere to hide. At the same time, the face unlocking pattern recognition process brought by Flyme 7 to users only takes 0.1s. Meizu 15’s powerful functions save power and are smoother under the blessing of Flyme 7.

　　At the same time, Flyme has reached a cooperation with the most popular mobile game "Honor of Kings" in the current market, and has realized multi-core multi-threading technology on the 15 series, which can effectively improve the frame rate of team battles. Whether it is single brush, team battle or dragon fight, it enjoys a more stable picture and touch, providing everyone with a more enjoyable gaming experience.

　　From the perspective of convenience, the addition of bubble notification + small window reply, desktop application index, and character album also brings users a more efficient and intelligent interactive experience, which greatly improves the convenience and accuracy of operation. At the same time, in order to truly consider users from the user, Flyme 7 is the first to propose a system-level global night mode in Android, which is more comfortable to use mobile phones at night. The addition of photo backtracking, children’s anti-addiction, data rescue, intelligent light sensing, real-time earphone monitoring, and intelligent ear protection mode also shows that Flyme 7 considers the comprehensiveness of users. Starting with heart, it is in response to Flyme 7’s slogan this time, "Make the experience better".

　　In addition, the Meizu 15 series uses super-linear stereo, symmetrical stereo speakers up and down, which have been technically optimized to bring users a perfect auditory feast, thus creating a leapfrog experience of sound. Not only that, the application of Bluetooth 5.0 will greatly improve the transmission speed and bring more stable transmission performance. The mCharge flash charging technology can quickly help users get out of the predicament of no power. In terms of performance, the Meizu 15 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 660, and the 15Plus is equipped with the first full Netcom Samsung 8895 processor. Better performance and the performance of the flagship can bring consumers a more perfect experience.

　　In addition to the highlight of Meizu 15, Meizu officially released two highly representative cutting-edge products at the press conference, the Meizu HALO laser Bluetooth headset, which focuses on "avant-garde technology trends", and the Meizu POP true wireless Bluetooth headset, which focuses on "light sports, light business".

1905 movie network news What exactly is an actor’s face? Is it because the character finds it? Or is it because of this face that a character doesn’t exist?

　

In 2018, Cai Mingliang shot a 78-minute film with 14 shots aimed at 13 faces. The faces of these ordinary people were quietly scrutinized by Cai Mingliang’s camera, with wrinkles and pores, telling the plain and dusty past. "Can we just gaze at the most subtle changes in life?" Cai Mingliang said about the film that only shot faces.

Diao Yinan felt the same way about the actor’s face. He wrote a story about a fugitive, about which he also imagined: "Animals at night, like in the jungle on the edge of the city, lurking or attacking at night, or evading hunters."Finally, the face became Hu Ge, and the character was called Zhou Zenong.

one

Before Zhou Zenong, Hu Ge didA handsome guy for over 20 years.When he was a child, he was a member of the Shanghai TV Station Xiaoying Star Art Troupe, and the middle school was the head of the Xuhui District Student Repertory Theatre Troupe. After that, he was admitted to the Shanghai Drama Academy naturally.His senior sister, Wan Qian, who was in the play, remembered when Hu Ge first started school:"When I first met him, he was a young man who was very handsome. He was also one of the most handsome guys in our school."Because he was handsome, Hu Ge got the chance to play Li Xiaoyao, the protagonist of "Legend of Immortals and Swords" in his junior year.

Hu was then classified as one of the earliest beneficiaries of typing among the young actors who startled him with China’s first Xianxia drama– – At that time, there were not many actors suitable for male leads in domestic costume dramas.

During that time, he played a lot of young heroes in ancient costumes who flew around, giggling and carefree. In "Legend of Immortal Sword and Flying Immortal" and "Flying Immortal Outside Heaven", he had similar hairstyles and played similar roles.

Until 2010’s "Myth", when he played the role of a general, he suddenly felt that if there were bangs, the role would not be valid. At Hu Ge’s own initiative, Qin Dynasty general Meng Yi became the first character of Hu Ge to show his whole face in ancient costumes.

A colleague of Hu Ge’s company once recalled this incident to the media:"Since he has already adjusted his mentality, why can’t I adjust my mentality, so I agreed to him."

After "Myth," Hu Ge deliberately avoided his familiar costume idol dramas. He got Chen Cong from "Bitter Coffee," then the Kangba man Tashi Pingtso from "Shangri-La," and then Xie Feifan, the head of the fashion group of "Modern New Humans."

Do everything, but don’t act in costume idol dramas.This was probably Hu Ge’s first attempt to step outside his comfort zone. But his most successful TV drama in those years was the ancient costume idol drama "Xuanyuan Sword" created by the Tang Dynasty.

Transformation sounds like a simple word.9 pinyin letters, 17 strokes. But achieving these two words has never been easy.

At an event, he met fellow actor Yan Ni, who then recommended him to the crew. In Yan Ni’s intuition, Hu Ge would not resist playing a sister-brother relationship with herself.

This time, by chance, Hu Ge found a door to knock again after shrinking back to "Xuanyuan Sword". This play he finally received that he wanted to play, the three satellite TV broadcasts once included the top three ratings at the same time, and the final audience ratings were all brokenOne percent.

And then, yeah.In 2015, "The Pretender", "Langya Bang" and "Good Times" were broadcast in three parts, including spy warfare in the Republic of China, ancient costumes, and urban idol emotions.

Hu Ge became the absolute brightest actor in the TV drama circle.But for actors, there is always a dream of starring in a movie of their own. Hu Ge has made many cameos, but he always seems to miss the lead role.Until, until Diao Yinan.

two

　Diao Yinan hesitated about choosing Hu Ge as the lead in her first film, but the producer Shen Qian persuaded him to meet Hu Ge. In Shen’s eyes, Hu Ge is like Abe Kuan and a bit like Zhongdai Daya. She sent a photo of Zhongdai Daya to Hu Ge and said that the older he gets, the more he looks like you.

　

At Shen Yan’s suggestion, Diao Yinan went to watch "Langya Ranking" and suddenly found the face of the fugitive from Hu Ge. In 2017, Diao Yinan met Hu Ge in Shanghai. The next day, Hu Ge rode his motorcycle to find Shen Yan to get the script. After reading it that day, he called Shen Yan and said:

　

"I’m very willing to join this movie."

What kind of movie is this? The first scene of the opening scene, in a cold rain, dim and ambiguous colors, Hu Ge appeared. His first scene was a close-up of that face.

　

With a snap, it was projected on the delicate and clear screen of the Lumière Hall of the Cannes Film Palace.

　

This face was thin and dark. It was completely different from those optimistic young heroes before.

　

Mr. Diao said he would not tell Mr. Hu that he had been given extensive close-ups during the shoot. He took pictures of Mr. Hu’s face because of its linear and expressive contours: "His face reminds me of an animal at night, especially his gaze and eyes."

Wan Qian remembered seeing Hu Ge in the crew once. There was no opposite scene between the two. That was when she left work and he finished work. Wan Qian found that Hu Ge had become completely different from "Hunting Ground". "Very thin. Black and thin, the whole person is very decadent."

　

This slump is the state Hu Ge found for Zhou Zenong. After joining the cast, he deliberately kept a certain distance from the other actors in the crew. "Maybe in my past personality life, I would quickly integrate with everyone and become one with each other. But in this drama, I made myself isolated," Hu Ge said.

He is indeed someone who is easy to make friends with others. Shen Qian talks about Hu Ge in life, and he is a person who gets along very well with non-professional actors.

　

The actors also met three weeks ago when the film was remastered at the film’s late-stage company on South Station Road. "It’s very interesting, it seems that the South Station has been moved to Shanghai again."

　

In addition to maintaining this isolation, he watched a large number of movies and books before filming began. Ryan Gosling’s "Drive to Death," Alain Delon’s. Diao Yinan let him watch Camus’s novel "The Outsider," and a large number of Antonioni movies.

　

The reason for watching these movies and books came from Hu Ge’s uncertainty about his performance. "I have a lot of concerns, because I may have acted in TV dramas before, and there will be more commercial ones. I’m very nervous, and I don’t know how to quickly adjust my state from the performance state of TV dramas to the state of movies."

Before filming, he went to Wuhan to experience life. In addition to learning Wuhan dialect, he also walked around the streets with his language teacher to observe the lives of the locals. The language teacher took him to the most ordinary streets. But this face, which used to appear on the screen for three quarters a year, and was broadcast on three TV stations at the same time, always had the possibility of being recognized.

　

Hu Ge thought of a way, he customized a few sets of cleaning workers’ clothes online, and printed four words on the back: Zenong Cleaning. As soon as the clothes were worn and the hat was worn, no one recognized it. "It’s very good, no one will pay attention to us." When talking about this matter, Hu Ge smiled.

three

These were all preparations for the character’s external image. But for the character’s heart, Hu Ge felt that he had never found a way.

　

After a month and a half of joining the group, he had been using his usual experience to build up his confidence, but suddenly realized that he was wrong. Diao Yinan saw the change in Hu Ge’s state, and when chatting with him, Hu Ge said that he felt that he was not fully integrated.

　

This chat made Hu Ge think about what kind of state he should be in in this movie where he starred for the first time. He thought that maybe he should keep both the good and the bad. This idea was approved by Diao Yinan. So Hu Ge slowly linked his true mentality to Zhou Zenong.

Hu Ge began to try not to sleep, trying to look a little tired and more haggard. For Zhou Zenong, he imagined the changes in his facial muscles caused by the haggard feeling when the fugitive had no food or water. This change, in Hu Ge’s view, was the effect of makeup.

　

85% of the scenes in "The Wild Goose Lake" are night scenes. The movie is a smooth shot, which helps the actors step into the character’s heart, but is a willful choice for the director.

　

Shooting in order, there will be a period of time without Hu Ge’s role. During this time, in addition to resting, Hu Ge relies on fitness to keep himself thin and at the same time maintain fatigue.

　

It’s not the first time he’s added a lot of design to his character. Before "The Wild Goose Lake," he had a cameo role as director Shunji Iwai.

For the role that didn’t have many scenes, he imagined the feeling of many characters and the rhythm of the performance. But when he came to the scene, he found that the director’s requirements were far from his own.

　

Speaking of this role again, Hu Ge said that making a movie made him realize that he needed to find a way to satisfy the director and return to expressing his role.

　

But "The Wild Goose Lake" is different. Hu describes the director’s torment as "boiling a frog in warm water." Television directors rarely demand that an actor’s breathing rise and fall or how often he blinks, but Diao asks him not to blink twice after turning the camera on Hu Ge.

　

"Did I think it was that much different at the time? But it’s really a different feeling! We sound like this subtlety is impossible for the audience to detect, but when the big screen amplifies the performance, that’s it." Hu Ge said that the TV series gave the audience 40 episodes, and the audience can slowly believe in the character. But the movie is only 2 hours long. How can the audience still resonate with the character’s experience on the blank screen after the end is really a challenge.

Gui Lunmei, who has worked with director Diao Yinan, also feels uneasy. But she thinks Hu Ge is a quiet and composed presence. "I’m lucky to have such an opponent, because sometimes when you meet some actors, he will interfere with your performance. But in addition to interpreting his own role, Hu Ge also gives us a lot of space, and the chemistry between the two of us is very comfortable." Of Hu Ge, Gui Lunmei said.

　

Recalling their collaboration with Hu Ge, Gui Lunmei felt that their rivalry scenes were slowly brewing. Speaking of being on the set, she suddenly realized that there was not much verbal discussion during filming, "But during the process, even I sometimes had some feelings that he was supporting me."

　

The most important scene between the two took place in a boat on the lake. That scene was difficult to shoot because there were too many uncontrollable factors on the lake. There needed to be waves, but the wind was fast and the waves were big, so the movie couldn’t be shot. Later, the wave boat was used, but as soon as the first shot started, the wave boat went too fast, and a big wave hit Hu Ge’s face. "I thought it was too absurd at the time," Hu Ge said.

Is jumping out of his familiar circle telling the audience that Hu Ge is also changing? When we threw this question to him, Hu Ge said that he was naturally hypocritical, or liked to toss.

　

He said that his toss is to see if he has more room. Because until now, he has not seen his end.

　　On April 19, Hengda, Huawei, Baidu and other "new car-making forces" moved frequently, or released new cars or announced intelligent solutions for automobiles. On the same day, the class A share auto index sector rose by more than 6%, of which driverless concept stocks and automotive electronics concept stocks set off a daily limit.

　　Wen, Table/Guangzhou Daily All Media Reporters Ni Ming, Zhang Lu, Chen Lili?, Xu Xiaofang

　　Mobile phone end point business declines in 2020

　　Huawei switches to car racing

　　On April 19, all media reporters learned from an internal Huawei employee that on April 20, "Huawei’s flagship store will have huge new partners." At the same time, the video released clearly shows the outline of a car, with the caption "On April 20, Huawei’s flagship store welcomes new partners, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chengdu." The reporter noticed that the Sailis Huawei Smart Selection SF5 had appeared on Huawei’s official website that day, but as of press time, Huawei had not provided the purchase entrance.

　　Regarding cross-border vehicle manufacturing, Huawei has stated many times before that it will not enter the field of vehicle manufacturing. At the recent Huawei 2020 annual report, rotating chairperson Hu Houjun reiterated that Huawei’s positioning in the field of smart cars is that the parts supplier has not changed.

　　Industry insiders told reporters that Huawei’s active rush to the automotive industry is not unrelated to the current decline in its mobile phone end point business. The reporter observed Huawei’s recent financial reports and found that in 2020, Huawei’s revenue growth slowed to 3.8%, the lowest in the past ten years. For the annual report data, Hu Houqian, chairperson of Huawei, said that the growth rate of consumer business did not meet expectations last year, and admitted that last year due to supply problems, mobile phone sales were affected. In this case, industry insiders told reporters that the decline in Huawei’s mobile phone sales is not only related to the separation of Honor mobile phones, but more importantly, the current Huawei mobile phone production capacity is restricted by the lack of "core" factors.

　　As for when Huawei’s intelligent driving department will be profitable, Su Qing, chief architect of Huawei ADS and president of intelligent driving product line, said that autonomous driving does not have to worry about profitability. It is reported that Wang Jun, president of Huawei Smart Car Solutions BU, said that this year’s investment in research and development will reach 1 billion US dollars (about 6.50 billion yuan).

　　But according to the financial report, Huawei’s cash flow has shrunk at present. According to the financial report, Huawei’s cash flow from operating activities in 2020 was 35.20 billion yuan, down 61.5% year-on-year. In this regard, Huawei said that this is due to increased investment in supply, research and development, material reserves and other aspects.

　　Compared with Xiaomi, which announced at the end of March to join the ranks of car manufacturing, its cash reserves in 2020 are as high as 108 billion yuan. Industry insiders told reporters that with Huawei’s capital, such as investing in the vehicle manufacturing industry with a long manufacturing cycle and high capital occupation, the pressure is obvious. At present, Huawei chooses to layout the intelligent driving industry or as a stopgap measure.

　　Class A share auto index sector rose more than 6%

　　On the same day, the 19th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition in 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show) opened, which is also the first A-level auto show held as scheduled in the world this year. At this Shanghai Auto Show, on the one hand, the independent brand product brands continue to rise and rise in the process of change; on the other hand, the joint venture foreign investment up the ante electric, under the entry of new and old forces and tech giants, the rise of electric intelligence.

　　Among them, Baidu’s Apollo Lego-style automotive intelligent solution was fully unveiled, and the two products of Smart Driving and Zhiyun ushered in a heavy upgrade. Its Zhiyun products can support car companies to quickly build intelligent capabilities, shortening the autonomous driving research and development cycle that originally took at least 7 years to complete to 6 months. After 100 days of official announcement of car building, Baidu CEO Robin Li and Geely CEO Li Shufu gathered. According to people familiar with the matter, the meeting between the two was not at the Shanghai Auto Show, and Jidu Automobile will announce a big cooperation. In addition, Wuling New Energy’s first convertible, Hongguang MINIEV CABRIO, made its world debut. Hengda Motor made its debut with nine models of Hengchi, covering all grades from A to D, as well as a full range of models such as sedans, coupes, SUVs, MPVs, and crossovers.

　　On April 19, the class A share auto index sector rose more than 6%, Dongfeng Motor, GAC Group, Changan Automobile and other stocks rose by the limit. In the Hong Kong stock market, as of the close, Wuling Automobile rose 27.53%, and the intraday increase was over 30%; Geely Automobile rose 4.82%; BYD shares rose 4.77%, Beijing Automobile rose 4.14%.

　　The reporter also noticed that the automotive industry chain has strengthened, including driverless, complete vehicles, automotive electronics, automotive parts, lithium batteries and other branches, among which driverless concept stocks and automotive electronics concept stocks have set off a rise in the limit.

　　New forces should overcome capital barriers, production capacity barriers and market barriers as soon as possible

　　The reporter observed that at the end of March and the beginning of April, China’s "new car-making forces" continued to move: on March 30, Xiaomi, a cross-border car manufacturer, announced "the first investment of 10 billion yuan, and the investment amount in the next 10 years will reach 10 billion US dollars"; on April 7, the 100,000 production car of NIO was mass-produced in Jianghuai NIO Hefei Advanced Manufacturing Base; on April 8, the Management Committee of Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone and XPeng Motors officially signed an investment agreement for the intelligent networked car manufacturing base and R & D center project…

　　The "14th Five-Year Plan" clearly focuses on strategic emerging industries such as new energy vehicles, and organizes future industry incubation and acceleration plans in hydrogen energy and other industries. The market believes that this is a strong support for the development of the new energy vehicle industry; not only that, peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality targets have become national strategic goals, which has also injected strong impetus into the development of the new energy vehicle market.

　　Not only that, in terms of smart cars, the "14th Five-Year Plan" also makes it clear that vehicle to everything will be actively and steadily developed. The three departments have issued the "National Vehicle to Everything Industry Standard System Suggestions Guide (Intelligent Transportation Related) ", and the construction and development of vehicle to everything related systems continue to accelerate. The reporter observed that the cooperation between car companies and high-tech enterprises is also accelerating. For example, Huawei and BAIC’s new energy brand JIHU have cooperated to launch intelligent luxury pure electric sedan BAIC α coefficient S, and Hengda Automobile has established a joint venture with Tencent’s companies. In this regard, Bohai Securities released a research report and believes that it is optimistic about the trend of intelligent automobile networking, and smart cars are expected to appear "explosive" mass-produced models this year.

　　Zhong Shi, an auto industry analyst, believes that now Chinese and foreign automakers have seen the big trend of industry transformation and entered the new energy automobile industry, which will bring new survival challenges to the "new car-making forces". They must survive capital barriers, production capacity barriers and market barriers as soon as possible. He also said that in the end, to achieve the growth of China’s new energy automobile industry, it depends on the comprehensive competition of car companies in terms of advanced technology, cost control, supply chain improvement, excellent quality, safety and reliability. "Objectively speaking, the technical challenges faced by the’new car-making forces’ are still huge, and domestic car companies in our country need to redouble their efforts to seize the opportunities brought by this industry transformation."

　　Fu Yuwu, honorary chairperson of the China Society of Automotive Engineers, also emphasized in an interview that "new car companies should respect the objective laws of technological development, and maintain respect for the automotive industry while making efforts on the new track of intelligence and electrification."

　　Sales of new energy vehicles are expected to grow rapidly in 2021

　　In the face of joint venture car companies up the ante and our country’s own brand car companies expanding production capacity, is the supply of new energy vehicles oversupplied? On the production side, the industrial added value of the automobile manufacturing industry in the first quarter of 2021 increased by more than 50% year-on-year; while the data of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers shows that Quarter 1, China’s new energy vehicle production was 533,000, and sales were 515,000, an increase of 3.2 times and 2.8 times year-on-year respectively. For the future market, some car companies told reporters that they are currently expanding their plants to increase production capacity. Among them, Guangzhou Automobile Aian is expected to invest about 500 million yuan and plans to double production capacity in early 2022.

　　On the sales side, the retail volume of narrow passenger cars in the first quarter of this year totaled 5.092 million, an increase of 68.8% year-on-year, a record high growth rate. For the sharp increase in retail volume of passenger cars in the first quarter of this year, the Passenger Association explained that in addition to being affected by the low sales base in the same period last year, another major driving factor is the increasing contribution of new energy vehicles. According to the data of the Passenger Association, in the first quarter, the retail volume of new energy vehicles was 437,000, an increase of 302.9% year-on-year. The retail penetration rate of domestic new energy vehicles in the first quarter was 8.6%, which was significantly higher than the 5.8% in the same period last year. Among them, the penetration rate of new energy vehicles among independent brands in March was 20.5%.

　　Some industry analysts believe that production capacity does not mean actual supply. In the face of changes in fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles in the market, in addition to adjusting the product structure of automobile companies, they will also re-target the marketization goal of new energy vehicles according to their own advantages, and create a marketing method for electric vehicles, which will affect the sales strategy and consumers are expected to benefit.

　　Huaxi Securities believes that with the continuous improvement of the sales structure and quality of new energy vehicles, as well as the continuous launch of high-quality new models such as the Model Y series, supply will drive demand changes, and the penetration rate of new energy vehicles is expected to accelerate. It is expected that sales will grow rapidly in 2021.

　　"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.

　　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.

　　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.

　　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."

　　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
