　　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."

1905 movie network news Directed by Martin Campbell and starring Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Liu Tao and Liang Peishi, the international action blockbuster is about to dominate the National Day file on September 30 and will land on the global screen one after another. Whether it is the cast or the behind-the-scenes team, the film has gathered the top figures in the Chinese and Western film industries. In addition, as the only Hollywood action blockbuster in this year’s National Day file, "Britain" has attracted much attention from all walks of life due to its excellent international top film texture. The following is a deep analysis of why "Britain" can arouse expectations from ten aspects.

Jackie Chan returns to Hollywood after seven years, shaking the world again after harvesting the golden statuette

Jackie Chan re-entered Hollywood in 1995 and created a Chinese legend by breaking multiple North American box office records. Over the next two decades, Jackie Chan’s films gradually became a popular global label and influenced filmmakers around the world. Many top international directors have looked to Jackie Chan’s films for inspiration. Many new generation of young actors also regard Jackie Chan as a role model and benchmark. In 2016, Jackie Chan won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement and became the first Chinese to win the award.

However, in 2010 and since then, Jackie Chan has filmed a number of Chinese-language films, but apart from the dubbing series, he has never starred in a real Hollywood international blockbuster. The movie "British Showdown" is Jackie Chan’s first international action masterpiece to return to Hollywood. At the same time, "British Showdown" is also Jackie Chan’s first Hollywood action blockbuster after winning the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. Jackie Chan once said in an interview: "It’s not that I want to return to Hollywood now, it’s that Hollywood needs me." The outstanding artistic achievements and extraordinary international influence have made Jackie Chan movies synonymous with the best films in the eyes of global audiences.

2. British ace agent Brosnan joins to recreate the king of kung fu versus the king of agents

In the movie "British Showdown", the opponent of Jackie Chan’s decisive battle must also be able to match him. For this reason, director Martin Campbell chose Pierce Brosnan. The two established a good tacit understanding when they worked together, and have worked on many films since then. This time, the old partner has been restructured again for "British Showdown". For fans around the world, Brosnan’s name can be said to be well-heard. He succeeded Timothy Dutton as the fifth 007. With "Golden Eye", "Tomorrow’s Empire", "Black Sun Crisis" and four works, he has re-created a handsome and charming and masculine 007 image, which is recognized by fans as the most handsome 007 in history.

For most Chinese movie fans, understanding the classic secret agent image of 007 begins with Pierce Brosnan. The duel between Jackie Chan and Brosnan’s two characters in "British Showdown" is also a peak showdown between the "King of Kung Fu" in the East and the "King of Agents" in the West. The collaboration between the two international action stars is bound to collide with a particularly intense spark.

3. Save 007 for the second time and create a classic again, a Hollywood commercial film

Martin Campbell’s name may not be well known to domestic audiences, but his films have been very popular and left a deep imprint on the history of world cinema. In 1995, Martin Campbell collaborated with Pierce Brosnan for the first time. With "007: Golden Eye", it revolutionized the public’s impression of Bond, the king of British agents, creating the most popular 007 film in the history of the 007 series, and when the 007 series was once in the doldrums, it was rejuvenated. It was not until 2006 that Martin Campbell directed "007: Casino Royale", and Daniel Craig took over as the sixth 007, which revived the 007 series.

As the two-time gold medal director who saved the 007 series, Martin Campbell has gradually become widely recognized as "the master of Hollywood commercial films". In addition to the 007 series, he has assembled Anthony Banderas and Anthony Hopkins, two leading actors, to create two works and redefine the classic image of Zorro as a lone hero. Martin Campbell’s directing of "British Showdown" has given the film a stronger guarantee of quality and is bound to make the film called the next Hollywood classic.

4. National Muse Liu Tao made his debut in Hollywood, breaking through the image and pretending to be elderly makeup

"British Showdown" has released the movie promotion song "Ordinary People" sung by Jackie Chan and Liu Tao, which moved thousands of netizens with moving tunes and heartfelt lyrics. At the same time, this promotion song also revealed the tearjerking warmth of Jackie Chan and Liu Tao in "British Showdown". Since his debut, Liu Tao has created many popular roles, and the ever-changing image of Liu Tao has long been recognized by countless audiences. And "British Showdown" is Liu Tao’s first entry into Hollywood, which can be said to be an important step towards a new peak in her career.

In "The Battle of England", Liu Tao changed the image of the former Muse temperament and turned the creation upside down, playing a simple and ordinary middle-aged woman, trying to dress up in old age, looking haggard. Liu Tao once revealed in an interview: "This time the character has a lot of changes in image, from makeup to the overall look, the director dyed a lot of white hair for me, a lot of wrinkles and age spots, and tried to be close to the film character." For Liu Tao, this is a great challenge, and for Chinese audiences who know Liu Tao well, it will be a novel adventure.

5. Jackie Chan’s image deliberately grows old, challenging introverted revenge drama acting to re-create the peak

Jackie Chan has said many times that he hopes to play more of his favorite roles and try to shoot different types of movies, and the change of Jackie Chan in "British Showdown" is surprising. Jackie Chan’s role in "British Showdown" is Guan Yuming, an old man in his seventies. Therefore, in order to be more in line with the character’s setting, the director specially aged Jackie Chan’s appearance, and constantly told Jackie Chan to move as slowly as possible. FilmJackie Chan, whose face was wrinkled and scarred, caused countless audiences to feel distressed and applauded his attitude towards the performance.

In addition, Jackie Chan temporarily gave up his decades-old comic image in film, and instead created a sad character who is taciturn, has a rough life, and takes up arms to avenge his daughter. In his performance, he pays more attention to forbearance and rich layers of inner drama. This kind of Jackie Chan, for every audience, seems strange and full of freshness. Jackie Chan does not want to be bound by a specific style, and his performance in "British Showdown" is the best proof. Now 63 years old, Jackie Chan is still constantly breaking through himself and challenging new roles, so that audiences have to look forward to each of his works.

6. Jackie Chan innovates action dramas to break through impressions, and never forgets his original intention with his life

Jackie Chan made a subversive change in "British Showdown", personally participated in the action design in "British Showdown", establishing a new action style label for Jackie Chan movies. Although the film still retains the elements of action, it is different from the previous dragon-style playful kung fu. "British Showdown" pays more attention to the realism of action scenes, using a lot of hand-to-hand combat to constantly stimulate the audience’s senses.

However, due to Jackie Chan’s long-term filming of highly dangerous action scenes without the use of stuntmen, he was hospitalized for surgery due to severe muscle decay during the filming of the film. But after the doctor told him to stop filming martial arts scenes, Jackie Chan still focused on the filming of the film and continued to perform high-risk human stunts himself. Such a thrilling performance with personal risk continues Jackie Chan’s most admirable film spirit, and it is also Jackie Chan’s never-changing sincerity and hard work.

7. Assemble two classic magic actors to create an epic cast

In addition to Jackie Chan and Brosnan, the two heroes of the East and West, and the strong addition of the national Muse Liu Tao, the audience can also find more familiar faces in the "British Showdown". Liang Peishi made her debut as a Chinese student Zhang Qiu in the film, and then had an affectionate kiss with Harry Potter in the film. Her appearance also attracted more Chinese fans for the "Harry Potter" series. And Michael McElhatton played Luce Bolton in the TV drama. He looks mild-mannered, but he is ruthless and calculating. He killed the "young wolf master" Robb Stark at the red wedding. His powerful acting skills have won the admiration of thousands of audiences.

Liang Peishi and Michael McElhatton, two powerful actors from the two Western magic legends, joined the "British Showdown" to gather top actors from across Asia and Europe to create an epic all-star lineup, which undoubtedly guaranteed the film’s international quality and further upgraded the audience’s expectations for the film.

8. Hollywood’s top production, dedicated to creating the only international giant of the National Day file

In addition to the powerful epic cast of Jackie Chan, Brosnan, Liu Tao, Liang Peishi, etc., the behind-the-scenes team of Hollywood’s top configuration is also a major highlight of the film. There are both Hollywood gold director Martin Campbell and Hollywood photographer David Tattersall. He has shown superb photography standards in many Hollywood classics such as "David Tattersall".

In addition, "British Showdown" also brought together Peter Buchman and David Marconi, two of Hollywood’s top screenwriters, to jointly complete the screenwriting of the film. Peter Buchman served as the screenwriter, which brought this classic series of Hollywood commercial films that are well-known in the world to a perfect conclusion; David Marconi wrote the screenplay starring Will Smith, which earned more than 100 million dollars in global box office, and was also recognized by fans as a masterpiece. The collaboration of the two super writers makes "British Showdown" more guaranteed under the packaging of dazzling Hollywood commercial elements. The deep core of the story is even more guaranteed.

9. The panorama shows the British style, and the real scene blasting is shocked

In terms of filmmaking, "Britain" also shows the quality of top international blockbusters. The film was filmed in many places in London, and at the "Return to Hollywood" conference, it also showed a number of film shooting locations. The director once revealed that in order to truly show the British style, the crew had paid for London residents to temporarily move to hotels, and once again requisitioned civilian housing as a filming location.

For a large number of explosive scenes in the film, the director insisted on using real explosions to achieve the effect of shocking and magnificent scenes. For example, in the film, a double-decker bus suddenly exploded on the Rambeth Bridge next to the British Parliament Building, burning into the skyBlack smoke strewn across the Thames, and the visual effects of the grand scene were awe-inspiring. The crew submitted an application to the relevant authorities in advance to complete the shooting of the live blasting at the landmark London site, and the filming permission was not received until two months later. The director also broke the news: "The staff responsible for pressing the blasting button was on the bus at that time."

10. A perfect reproduction of the best-selling British novel, with a political conspiracy full of suspense

Adapted from the best-selling novel "The Chinaman" by British author Stephen Leather, "The British Showdown" tells the story of Guan Yuming (Jackie Chan, played), a small restaurant owner living in Chinatown, England, who is desperate because his daughter (Liang Peishi, played) is tragically killed in a terrorist attack, and the inaction of the relevant departments makes him even more angry. In order to get justice for his daughter, he refuses Lin Baoyi (Liu Tao, played) to keep him and embarks on a road of revenge against the terrorist organization. At this time, the appearance of the point person Hannes (Pierce Brosnan, played) uncovers a complex conspiracy…

This suspense-filled and gripping story has the support of a wide audience in itself, and it integrates rich elements such as politics, counter-terrorism, action, family love, and revenge. The movie "British Showdown" is also enough to feast the eyes of a wider audience.

It is reported that the film "The British Showdown" was produced by Beijing Yaolai Film and Culture Media Co., Ltd., STX Entertainment Company of the United States, and Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., directed by Martin Campbell, and starring Jackie Chan, Pierce Brosnan, Liu Tao, and Liang Peishi. As the only international action blockbuster during the National Day, on September 30, the movie "The British Showdown" will be fully launched and gradually land on the global screen for a shocking opening, so stay tuned!

On August 3, Hengda contributed a high-profile press conference to the world.

(The first six models of Hengchi were released globally)

At the press conference, accompanied by long-lasting cheers and applause, the first six pure electric vehicles of Hengchi were finally unveiled. It is understood that in order to ensure that Hengchi would surprise four people as soon as it appeared, Xu Jiayin visited Europe, America and Japan many times last year, and finally promoted the strategic cooperation between Evergrande and 15 top styling masters around the world, injecting the strongest "value gene" into Hengchi.

Sure enough, the Hengchi 1-6, which was personally designed by international design masters such as Anders Warming, Michael Robinson, and Maruyama Gonggu, not only quickly triggered intense discussions on the spot with its appearance, but also exploded the headlines of major media. Among them, the Hengchi 5, built by Maruyama Gonggu, is a representative of the pure electric A-class SUV in the series. Its sporty and powerful design can be predicted to become the first choice for young people.

From the appearance point of view, the front headlights of Hengchi 5 use the H-shaped elements of the Hengchi series. The headlights on both sides are dart-shaped, which is domineering and fierce. The middle is connected by a long and narrow light strip. From a distance, it is a capital letter H, which is very recognizable. Under the light strip, a unique high definition display screen design is used, and the parametric texture formed by the LED light strip is arranged above, which lights up the effect such as the angel wings that are about to unfold, making the style of the whole car more intense.

From a practical perspective, the class-leading oversized body and super-long wheelbase give the Hengchi 5, a compact SUV, a complete sense of space. It is worth mentioning that the roof is also equipped with searchlight equipment, which can effectively avoid potential crises when off-road. The multi-faceted protection is truly intimate, and the oversized panoramic sunroof also creates a perfect visual experience for the owner.

To have good looks and strength, Hengchi 5 will surely hit the hearts of young people with a dark horse trend and impact the power SUV market.

　　"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.

　　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 April 16, the 2024 Baidu Create AI Developer Conference with the theme of "Creating the Future" was held in Shenzhen. Li Ying, vice president of Baidu Group and CEO of Xiaodu Technology, officially released Xiaodu’s next-generation operating system, DuerOS X, which is the world’s first AI native operating system launched by Xiaodu based on the Baidu ERNIE Bot large model. Li Ying said: "As an important and large-scale landing application scenario of the?? model,? AI intelligence helps lead AI native applications to a new height."

DuerOS X became Xiaodu’s "strongest brain"?

In the wave of unprecedented development of artificial intelligence, AI big model has become the vanguard of the trend, bringing unprecedented changes and opportunities. As a national artificial intelligence technology enterprise, Xiaodu has rich application scenarios and strong crowd stickiness. As of now, Xiaodu’s own brand equipment has been connected to more than 46 million families, and Xiaodu Assistant is mounted on 700 million smart devices, providing convenient and intelligent services for the majority of users. Xiaodu always insists on "user" as the center and continuous innovation. The strong technical hard power behind this cannot be separated from its core: Xiaodu Brain – DuerOS.

　

Xiaodu released the world’s firstAINative operating systemDuerOS X

Li Ying believes that Xiaodu AI intelligent assistant is an important and large-scale landing application of Baidu ERNIE Bot large model. DuerOS X, as a new AI native OS, completes a comprehensive brain change and leads AI native applications to a new height. It will bring us unprecedented intelligent experience and open a new chapter of intelligent life.

At the Create AI conference, Robin Li, founder, chairperson and CEO of Baidu, interacted with Xiaodu Tiantian AI tablet robot equipped with DuerOS X. Through multiple rounds of dialogue, Xiaodu can not only clearly arrange complex schedules, but also express more vivid language. It is not only smarter, more capable, and more understanding of users, but also able to provide users with emotional companionship value. It will truly become a more useful and soulful AI partner that everyone can have.

DuerOS X is the world’s first AI native operating system

Unlike in the past, as the world’s first AI native operating system, DuerOS X has completely overturned the outdated model of the traditional "human adaptation system", truly achieving the intention and task of connecting users "end-to-end". This innovation has greatly expanded the boundaries of the operating system.

　

DuerOS X operating system

In the model layer, DuerOS X fully applies the Wenxin model. Through the model routing architecture, it can flexibly dispatch different Wenxin models to solve problems of different difficulty, which is more efficient, accurate and economical. In addition, the ability to store, extract and understand personalized long and short memories is also a new highlight. It can more clearly remember historical content and user personalized preferences, and can catch every "archaeological question" you have. The more users use it, the better Xiaodu will understand users.

In the interactive layer, the application of "multimodal perception" technology allows DuerOS X to produce richer perception. Whether the user communicates with Xiaodu through voice, text, or expression, it can accurately understand your intentions and give an appropriate response; "anthropomorphic presentation" technology makes Xiaodu’s expression image more vivid and interesting, the voice more natural and agile, and even expresses emotion and personality through action, making it more "?" temperature, so as to truly provide emotional value and long-term companionship.

In the ecological layer, in addition to Xiaodu 11,000 voice skills such as film and television, music, education, and smart home, the applications developed by Wenxin Intelligent Body can be seamlessly integrated into Xiaodu, which greatly expands the ecological width of DuerOS. These applications not only have professional knowledge and skills, but also can be personalized according to your preferences and needs, providing you with truly intimate and convenient services.

With the blessing of DuerOS X, Xiaodu will be more intelligent, capable, understand you, and achieve better company. Li Ying said that the new Xiaodu will become your family’s AI girlfriend, AI housekeeper, AI teacher, AI health consultant, AI fitness coach and other multiple roles, and truly become people’s intimate "AI partner".

　

Xiaodu is smart, capable, understands you, and accompanies you

　

DuerOS X empowers the small AI ecosystem to make AI everywhere

Whether in the field of home infotainment or AI education, Xiaodu always insists on providing users with smarter and more convenient life services through its own AI technology capabilities and innovative product concepts. In 2023, Xiaodu has gained a lot: Xiaodu smart speakers/smart screens and Xiaodu learning tablets have ranked first in shipments for many consecutive years; Xiaodu has created a new category of "girlfriend machines". In this category, Xiaodu Tiantian’s girlfriend machine sales remain first; Xiaodu fitness glasses sales and the number of smart hotel rooms also continue to rank first.

According to Li Ying, DuerOS X will be the foundation for Xiaodu’s intelligent integration of software and hardware, and the foundation for ecological prosperity. It will provide all of Xiaodu’s hardware products with strong intelligent motion, enabling Xiaodu’s human-machine voice intelligent interaction experience to achieve a qualitative change.

Xiaodu has become a close "partner" and a powerful "assistant" for hundreds of millions of developers to create the future. Xiaodu has been actively working with partners from all walks of life to create a dynamic and sustainable AI ecosystem through the innovative ecosystem of content and services, and the deep integration of hardware and scenarios, and seize the new opportunities brought by intelligence.

　

Small prosperity ecology

In 2024, as the first year of AI native applications, the launch of DuerOS X is not only an extreme brain change for Xiaodu, but also an innovative application of the big model. In the future, Xiaodu will break the ceiling of intelligent capabilities through continuous exploration, bring more people a convenient, comfortable and technological life experience, improve people’s quality of life, and truly let AI enter thousands of industries and households.

Andy Lau played games with his fans and pressed the media about his marriage. He was also clearly well-prepared to fight.

Andy Lau refused to respond to rumors of marriage, saying only that he was not married or had children.

Andy Lau held an autograph signing, attracting thousands of people.

For Zhu Liqian, these three words are obviously Andy’s "dead end".

　　 Andy Lau (Andy) and Zhu Liqian’s affair has been rumored for many years. Recently, it was said that the two had tea with the woman’s family in Malaysia, and it was also said that they would get married locally on April 6, Zhu Liqian’s 43rd birthday. Which is true or false, Andy firmly refused to disclose, only emphasizing that he is not married and has no children.

　　Andy held a singing signing on March 1. Although there were only 500 places, it attracted thousands of people to watch. On the wedding rumors, Andy obviously came prepared. When asked by the reporter if he wanted to congratulate him, he replied politely with a smile: "I have said it many times. In short, if someone believes me, I will continue to believe it. I am now saying no. What makes me most uncomfortable is seeing people on the Internet accusing me of using this for publicity, which I would never do."

　　Mentioning the photo as if he was negotiating a happy event, Andy shook his head and waved his hand and said: "I will not respond to other things, I can only say that I am not married and have no children. (How to describe my relationship with Zhu Liqian?) This cannot be answered. (Will it be close soon?) Or that sentence, the marriage will be notified to everyone." Just straight to ask him if he will show up in Malaysia on April 6? Andy said no first! But then changed his mind: "Basically, I will tour the mainland in March or April, but I don’t know where it will be on which day. The itinerary is in the company, so I won’t talk about it or not." As for whether the tea-drinking photos were taken of Zhu Liqian’s family? And may the people around him be affected by the news? Andy also said that he would not answer, and asked everyone to ignore him so much, only that his mood was not affected.

　　The victim actress is not waiting for an apology

　　In addition, referring to the "philatelic actress" that Wu Junru was referring to, Andy clarified that Jun Ru did not tell him who the other party was at all, and he mocked himself for being old-fashioned, serious and upright, so no actress had ever seduced him. As for Cecilia Cheung’s interview report, Andy also read it bluntly, and praised the other party for being brave and strong. When Cecilia was mentioned, she angrily scolded Edison Chen for owing the victim an apology, and he believed that they had their own solutions in private, but believed that the victim actress was not waiting for this (apology), but should wait for the wound to heal and happily return to life.

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.

In the midst of the May Day holiday, the Mars team gathered in Chengdu as scheduled, and the grand and gorgeous light of Mars shone on one side, opening another journey of the ten-year homecoming pact! On April 30, the premiere of the 2023 Hua Chenyu Mars Concert in Chengdu ended successfully. The three-day long standby carnival of the Mars family was unlocked for only one day, which has aroused countless topics and heat. Whether you once belonged to Mars or not, it is difficult not to be infected by this music kingdom full of romance and joy. A total area of 592 acres, 370,000 square meters of Chengdu open-air music park is full of "Mars red", smiling Martians occupy 55 standard football fields, equivalent to the total area of 3 small eggs, many fans shouted: Holiday This does not want to feel everyone, but for Hua Chenyu, I am willing to roll! At the same time, as the first "amusement park" concert in China, everyone also fully enjoyed the high degree of freedom of "Mars Paradise", changing into sunflowers, ghosts, immortals, aliens and other personalized clothing, fancy clocks in huge posters, Mars food trucks, welcome home LOGO, graffiti wall and other scenes, tracking the "happy code" that Huahua buried for them one by one, and feeling the dreamlike Martian heat wave in the pleasant afternoon field of "eating, drinking and playing" and the evening field of "dancing and dancing".

The first day of Mars Utopia arrived in Chengdu, completely igniting the Chengdu open-air music park. Tens of thousands of glow sticks were in unison, like stars converging in the sky to leave a unique symbol belonging to Mars. Some fans who failed to return outside the venue gathered outside the open-air music park to experience the joy of Martians from the air; some funny fans tried to catch a glimpse of Mars through the cracks of the protective net, and were ridiculed for "looking at flowers in the cracks". Fans who entered the city of Mars as they wished covered all ages, with fathers and daughters riding on their shoulders; silver-haired old couples and wives working together to feel the charm of Mars; little boys and old men shooting the same "across the bank" Mars concert pose made netizens play the stick as "Mars old and young love", and successfully came out of the circle! Once again proved that Hua Chenyu fans regardless of age, status, Mars infects everyone equally. This power has also completely awakened everyone’s imagination. 2023 Hua Chenyu Mars Concert · Chengdu Station launched the "Mars Bombing Street Fashion Week" event. The fans’ "fancy robes" have repeatedly subverted everyone’s imagination, and the "outrageous with a hint of reasonable" high freedom atmosphere has also become one of the reasons why people repeatedly fall into Mars. Hua Chenyu still intimately arranges birthday gifts for fans in the afternoon, plays online games, and chats like family to catch up with old times, showcasing the "home temperature" of Mars. He also confessed warmly: The tenth anniversary of my debut is also the tenth anniversary of your debut! In addition, the landing of Chengdu Hua Chenyu also inexplicably with the giant panda came to the wave of dream linkage, Internet celebrity giant panda Huahua and Hua Chenyu collided with fame, guest Zuo Li shouted "Guo Lai" in Chengdu dialect, causing Martians to collectively shout "Guo Lai", really, no "Huahua" can escape "Guo Lai".

The sun is slowly setting, and the premiere of the 2023 Hua Chenyu Mars Concert · Chengdu Station is officially on! Hua Chenyu’s All blue 3D printing shape is matched with the "Tree of God" stage opening, which instantly seals the audience in the dream land of Mars Ideal City. There are also many fans who compare its first set to "melting candles", which fully burn while illuminating more people. The whole evening was intertwined with a variety of emotions such as warm telling, explosive release, tears in the eyes, and reunion after a long absence. Each song implied the exclusive memory of Huahua and Martians: a domineering singing of "Seventh Personality" in a red dress, which pulled many fans back to the night of the king of singers in "Singer Dang’s Year"; "Meeting When Flowers" was full of snow, and staged the ultimate romance in the last "April Day on Earth" in 2023, once again shaking and dreaming for Martian residents; singing an adapted version of "Shanhai" in a real sea of tens of thousands of Martians, the grand dance design was perfectly integrated with the song, and even turned every Martian who went to the scene into a romantic part of the whole performance. At the same time, Huahua’s extremely high music control ability and stable on-site output also added a lot to the whole performance. The fans who came to the scene couldn’t help but shout: It’s not a waste of thousands of miles to go to Mars, and take a trip for the ideal! Every journey of "Huahua Encounter", with the concerted efforts of everyone, blooms the best radiance. This reunion may seem particularly short-lived because of the extreme, but it is only in the moment of collision and blooming, which is enough to make people enjoy it infinitely. I believe that in the next two performances in Chengdu from May 1st to May 2nd, Hua Chenyu can lead everyone to encounter more romance!
