According to media reports, music diva Faye Wong and her boyfriend Nicholas Tse reenacted 23 years ago "the first drag of the century" at the Beijing airport, personally testifying that the relationship is stronger than Jin Jian. Recently, there were sudden rumors on the Internet that the two had broken up peacefully. Nicholas Tse, who has always insisted on a low-key love, denied it himself, "Don’t take the two of us for a long time, okay? Go away."

　　China News Service, Beijing, December 12 (reporter, Zhang Xi) For a moment, Yang Zi thought she was still filming "Family with Children", looking at Song Dandan, Gao Yalin, Zhang Yishan, and You Haoran around her, as if she had returned to the set 12 years ago, without any unfamiliarity.

　　In fact, it was the first time the five had worked together in 12 years on the micro-film "17 Brings Home Music." In the film, the "eldest son" Zhang Yishan became a police detective; the "daughter" Yang Zi became a female white-collar worker; and the "younger brother" You Haoran went to college. It was a very happy ending for fans of "Family with Children."

　　Recently, Yang Zi was interviewed by a reporter from China News Service (WeChat official account: cns2012). As a member of China’s most talked-about "screen family", she revealed for the first time some interesting past events during the filming of that year.

　　The past –

　　I used to fight on the set

　　In 2004, "Family with Children" officially began filming. Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan were only 12 years old at the time, and You Haoran was only 8 years old. Neither of them expected that because of the popularity of the show, they would be closely connected with each other.

　　"In the past, when the three of us were together, You Haoran was the noisiest, then Zhang Yishan, and finally me." Yang Zi recalled happily that because her "Xiaoxue" was helping her parents watch her two younger brothers in the play, it was quite stable.

　　Yang Zixiao said that the three of them often quarreled over food, "For example, there are props for peaches or durians placed there, and when we are not filming, we all stare at it to see who fights for that peach first." She also revealed that the youngest, You Haoran, even released a "big trick", "He was very disgusting. He was afraid that we would take that peach, so he took it out and licked it all first, and then said that if I licked it, you would not be able to take it. At that time, I would be very angry and would quarrel because of this kind of thing, which was very funny."

　　Reunion.

　　It feels like I’m filming with my family

　　This reunion took a total of two days to shoot the micro-movie "17 Music to Bring Home". In Yang Zi’s opinion, it is not so much work as a family reunion.

　　"I remember that it was 12 am the next day. It stands to reason that I was very tired, but I felt very happy. It would be fine to shoot for a while.

　　Although it was the first time they had worked together after 12 years, Yang Zi felt that everyone’s tacit understanding was still there. "It’s like a family.

　　Twelve years ago, when filming "Family with Children," Yang Zi often laughed, and this time was no exception, but the feeling was different. "At that time, because the script was funny, now I have a feeling of filming with my family, and I can’t stand it when I look at each other, and I can’t control it."

　　Change.

　　You Haoran grew taller from a little brother

　　Reunited 12 years later, Yang Zi bluntly said that You Haoran had changed the most, "He was only 8 years old when he was a child, but now he has grown so big, much taller than me, and has a beard. In my impression, he will always be our little brother."

　　When it comes to everyone’s changes, Yang Zi sighs deeply, she was the quietest in the crew at the beginning, but now she is the most noisy. "I have been arguing with them at the scene, Zhang Yishan said’calm down ‘, You Haoran said’go to Zhang Yishan’s place to play’, why did it change like this? Haha."

　　However, during the filming of "17 Brings Home Music", Yang Zi also had a trance feeling, "At the end of the filming, everyone had a sentence, but I didn’t think they were reading the lines anymore. I wanted to cry so much that I endured it all the time, because I felt that when we grew up, I looked at Aunt Dandan and Uncle Yalin again. They are old and have white hair, so they feel very unacceptable."

　　Off-screen.

　　Song Dandan loves to send voice

　　Although they worked together again after 12 years, the five people had a very good relationship in private during the past 12 years, and they also established a WeChat group called "Family Who Love Each Other". The most active in the group was Song Dandan.

　　"Auntie Dandan loves to talk about voice, and when she talks about her specialties, you have to listen to it all the time, but we children usually like to type text." Yang Zi complained that once Song Dandan sent many 60-second voice messages in a row, and every time I didn’t finish listening, there was a call, "I wanted to smash my phone at that time, haha."

　　When it comes to the interesting things in the group, Yang Zi is also overjoyed. She confessed that she loves to send emojis, not only her own ugly photos, but also Zhang Yishan’s, "There is an emojis like this, all kinds of staring at you, with the words’I am not sleepy ‘written on it."

　　CP —

　　And Zhang Yishan maintain each other

　　From the day "Family with Children" aired, Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan were regarded as "screen CP".

　　This year, Zhang Yishan starred in "Remaining Sins", which was a hit. Although the outside world believes that he has changed from a boy to a pure man in Beijing, Yang Zi said: "Because we are very familiar and grew up with each other, he is a very atmospheric Beijing boy in my eyes."

　　Although many netizens hope that Yang Zi and Zhang Yishan can become a couple, in fact, the two are just good buddies. Although they always hurt each other, as long as Yang Zi encounters difficulties, Zhang Yishan will stand up for protection as soon as possible; if someone scolds Zhang Yishan, Yang Zi will also stand up.

　　"Sometimes I feel down. Zhang Yishan won’t ask what’s wrong like others. He will wait for things to pass slowly and send me a WeChat message saying that you are okay, are you okay. I think it is very warm, a kind of relationship between friends."

　　Yang Zi made no secret of her desire to work with Zhang Yishan again, "Everyone always says they want us to film together, and I don’t think we should be sorry for the audience to shoot a movie at random. If the movie is particularly bad, everyone will be disappointed. I hope there will be an opportunity, a good moment, a good script for us, and we may choose to shoot."

1905 movie network news On October 11, the 12th Golden Eagle TV Art Festival Weibo officially announced that Di Lizheba took over Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Zhao Liying, Tang Yan, etc., and became the "Golden Eagle Muse" this year.

It is reported that since the 6th Golden Eagle TV Art Festival in 2006, each Golden Eagle Festival will select a new generation actress who has emerged in the field of TV dramas in the past two years, and who is also young and beautiful and very popular as the "Golden Eagle Muse", as the image spokesperson of the current Golden Eagle TV Art Festival.

At the same time, Di Lizheba was nominated for the Most Popular Actress Award for "Pretty Li Huizhen". Di Lizheba also became the first post-90s Golden Eagle Muse!

Narrow broadcast　Zhang Wei

Since January, following the "bankruptcy storm" of Tianfu Cola, domestic sodas such as Arctic Ocean and Hongbaolai have also received an unexpected wave of attention.

Just like Tianfu Cola was on the verge of discontinuing production, the domestic soda in people’s minds was struggling to survive in the gap between the Coca-Cola and Pepsi markets. After all, after years of silence, after the return of domestic soda, the domestic beverage market has long been "changed", and it is too difficult to compete for a place.

But is that really the case?

Taking Meituan data as an example, Laoshan Coke, Hongbaolai, Tianfu Coke and other domestic beverages, Meituan sales in the first half of 2022 increased by more than 150% compared with the same period last year; another media report, the sales of Dayao soda in 2021 are estimated to reach about 3 billion; Arctic Ocean has achieved 13 million revenue in just 3 years, becoming one of the favorite sodas of local consumers in Beijing…

Aside from regional cognitive biases, domestic soda is far better than people imagine.

After the epidemic, local retail has become the first choice for consumers to shop fast. With more and more consumers choosing to spend nearby, the local retail industry has also developed new formats such as instant retail, and local consumption has further accumulated the power of recovery.

Therefore, relying on the advantages of the birthplace, based on local roots, focusing on serving local consumers, and relying on instant retail formats such as Meituan, online traffic is converted into offline actual purchasing power, forming a geographical advantage and becoming a new driving force for the development of domestic soda.

In the 1980s, when the sales of domestic sodas were hot, there was a grand occasion of "one place and one soda water". When Tianfu Coke and other domestic sodas rose, the regional market was divided again, presenting a "hundred flowers bloom" situation, and the domestic soda market will no longer have only two pleasures.

"Ups and downs in life"

"Tianfu Coke has stopped production?" "Can’t drink Tianfu Coke anymore?" In January this year, Tianfu Coke was on the hot search due to the bankruptcy storm. After that, Tianfu Coke officially refuted the rumor, and Chairperson Jiang Lin also publicly responded: "It is the old enterprise that went bankrupt, and Tianfu Coke is still in normal production and operation."

After several "confrontations", Tianfu Cola has been "a blessing in disguise", and its attention has continued to rise, driving consumers’ "buying enthusiasm". Taking Meituan data as an example, Tianfu Cola’s instant retail weekly orders increased by 172% year-on-year, achieving a reversal in sales of carbonated beverages in the off-season. Many consumers outside Sichuan and Chongqing have gradually come to know this time-honored domestic soda with a light herbal flavor.

A piece of history must be mentioned here. Since the 1980s, a number of domestic sodas such as Tianfu Cola have experienced the "ups and downs of life" from glory to loneliness.

Under the influence of many factors such as limited production capacity and high transportation costs, the domestic soda market was dominated by domestic brands in the 1980s. Domestic sodas such as Laoshan Cola, Arctic Ocean, and Asian soda have even become iconic symbols of the cities where they are located. Tianfu Cola was also at its peak during that period, and its share in the domestic cola market was as high as 75%.

With the entry of Coca-Cola and Pepsi, the domestic soda market has undergone tremendous changes.

In 1994, Tianfu Cola and Pepsi Cola jointly established Chongqing Pepsi Tianfu Company. Since then, Pepsi has gradually reduced the production of Tianfu Cola’s products, causing Tianfu Cola’s market share to decline and almost disappear from the market.

In the same year, Arctic Ocean finally went out of production after its joint venture with Pepsi. After Guangzhou Asia Soda, Shenyang Bawangsi, Tianjin Shanhaiguan, and Qingdao Laoshan were all acquired, domestic soda brands were collectively frozen, and Liangle eventually occupied most of the domestic market.

Until 2007, after a long negotiation, Arctic Ocean regained the trademark and use rights on the condition that it would not produce any carbonated beverages for four years. In 2009, Tianfu Cola also began to claim back the brand from Pepsi. Domestic soda brands gradually recovered, Arctic Ocean classic glass bottles of orange-flavored soda reappeared on the market, Tianfu Cola officially made a comeback, and other domestic sodas also returned one after another.

The source of the "bankruptcy storm" of Tianfu Cola this time is the mixed ownership reform initiated after Tianfu Cola’s comeback. In 2018, Chongqing Textile Group, the wholly-owned parent company of Tianfu Cola Group, implemented the mixed system reform and passed on the brand, formula and operation to the new Tianfu Cola (Chongqing) Beverage Co., Ltd.

Therefore, the announcement issued by the Fifth Intermediate People’s Court of Chongqing this time is the bankruptcy liquidation announcement of the old company, which will not affect the normal operation and production of Tianfu Cola. Tianfu Cola officials can also respond positively, "Everyone can still drink Tianfu Cola with confidence, we are always there."

Local "reboot"

For a long time, consumers outside Sichuan and Chongqing have a weak awareness of Tianfu Cola. The hot news of the bankruptcy is ultimately due to people’s concerns about the development status of time-honored brands. Consumers generally recognize that the old domestic beverages are struggling to survive in the new consumption environment.

What is the current situation of the development of domestic soda?

In July last year, Meituan released a set of data, with Hongbaolai, Tianfu Cola, Arctic Ocean, Bingfeng and other major Guochao beverages, sales in the first half of 2022 increased by more than 150% compared with the same period last year; Inner Mongolia’s domestic beverage kiln soda sales in 2021 were estimated to reach 3 billion yuan; Bingfeng opened the road of IPO, although it has since withdrawn the application materials, but also outstanding performance in the domestic soda market. According to the prospectus, Bingfeng’s four main products sold a total of 292 million bottles/cans in 2020.

During the World Cup in Qatar, Arctic Ocean’s advertising landed on CCTV’s core channel. Today, whether it is in Beijing’s large and small restaurants, supermarket convenience stores, or retail platforms such as Meituan, Arctic Ocean is one of the favorite carbonated drinks of local consumers in Beijing, and even achieved 13 million revenue in just three years.

We know that, limited by the production, supply chain and other practical problems, domestic soda prices compared to the two music has no advantage, in such a competition landscape, how to maintain a good momentum of development?

First of all, from a historical perspective, domestic soda has accumulated many years of product reputation and national tide feelings in the local area. It is a childhood memory that belongs to a generation, and even a city’s memory, with natural advantages for local development. The media once reported the lively scene of Tianfu Coke’s comeback in 2016: consumers in Chongqing ran four streets just to buy a bottle of Tianfu Coke at a convenience store.

In terms of consumption habits, domestic sodas from various places are more in line with the dietary preferences of local consumers. For example, Tianfu Cola’s main herbal sugar-free flavor, with Chongqing hot pot with heavy spicy and heavy oil, is more cool and greasy; Hongbaolai’s most distinctive lychee soda, the origin is that the people of Northeast China have a lychee dream, and the development of lychee soda has met the taste needs of local consumers to the greatest extent.

All of the above, domestic soda has found a development direction from the road of taking root in the local area. Especially after the epidemic, local retail has become the first choice for consumers to shop quickly. More and more consumers choose to spend nearby. The local retail industry has also developed new formats such as instant retail. From the certainty that takeaway goods will arrive in half an hour, local consumption has further accumulated the strength of recovery.

Yuan Wei, marketing director of Tianfu Cola, has been paying attention to the development of Tianfu Cola’s new retail channels. He mentioned that with the changing consumption habits of young people, buy-and-reach can better meet the purchasing habits of local consumers. "The launch of Meituan in local convenience stores can promote the exposure of Tianfu Cola in young people, and at the same time increase the sales rate of Tianfu Cola’s products in Sichuan and Chongqing."

Being rooted in the local area has brought about a considerable increase in sales. Even without the surge in sales caused by this bankruptcy, as early as July last year, media reports mentioned that Tianfu Coke’s sales in Meituan market, Meituan flash sale and other instant retail platforms have increased by more than 5 times.

"Waiting for an Opportunity" Extension

Even if the development momentum is good, why are consumers generally worried about the status quo of domestic soda?

The main reason for this is that geographical advantages also bring geographical restrictions. Industry experts have mentioned in the analysis of domestic soda that it is difficult for time-honored brands to win by relying on feelings. The geographical attributes hinder their long-term development, and the regional culture is obvious. It is difficult to develop a market suitable for local local culture in other places.

Consumers are also accustomed to comparing domestic soda and Liangle. In the current carbonated beverage market, Coca-Cola and Pepsi still firmly occupy the top position or even a duopoly. According to the data of the Prospective Industry Research Institute, as early as 2019, Coca-Cola’s market share was 59.5%, Pepsi was 32.7%, and the two giants had occupied more than 92% of the market share.

In the words of Jiang Lin, chairperson of Tianfu Cola, Tianfu Cola is "ants and elephants" compared to these two giants.

But this situation is gradually changing. According to public data, in 2020, China’s carbonated beverage production reached 18.453 million tons, an increase of 5.8% year-on-year, contrary to the previous situation of no growth for many years; in 2021, the output reached 19.713 million tons, an increase of 6.8% year-on-year.

From a practical perspective, it is indeed limited for domestic soda to become bigger and stronger, but as long as it firmly occupies the local dominant position, while serving more local consumers living in other places, it becomes a small and beautiful brand, and then gradually expands to the periphery, the development prospects are still promising.

Here, for example, the Northeast-made soda, Hongbaolai. For 30 years, Hongbaolai has never stopped producing traditional glass bottle soda. In the eyes of Wang Yang, the e-commerce manager of Hongbaolai, insisting on making glass bottle soda is Hongbaolai’s feelings, and it also comes from confidence in the taste of local consumers. "For example, our glass bottle lychee soda is Hongbaolai’s signature, and Northeasterners recognize this taste."

In 2021, Hongbaolai began to test the waters to expand the foreign market. It is still the traditional glass bottle soda, but with the help of new retail channels such as Meituan Preferred, the young people in Northeast China can find the taste of their hometown in the traditional lychee soda.

Hongbaolai has also achieved retail sales growth outside the three northeastern provinces. Since 2021, Hongbaolai soda has started from Jilin, from the black land of Northeast China to Shanxi and Hebei, and has also gone south to explore the central and southern China markets. According to Meituan data, in addition to the three northeastern provinces, Hongbaolai soda is also deeply loved by users in Nanjing, Beijing, Wuhu, Xuzhou, Nantong and other cities. Sales in the first half of 2022 have also increased by more than 100% year-on-year.

As food industry analyst Zhu Danpeng has previously analyzed, domestic soda has certain emotional advantages in the regional market, but they have missed the best opportunity for rapid expansion. "Now what they have to do is to do a good job in the local core market and wait for opportunities to expand."

　　[Autohome Industry] On November 17, the 21st Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition officially opened. With the theme of "New Technology and New Life", this year’s auto show continued to play the role of "the vane of the development of China’s auto market". In this auto show, Autohome "Innovation Talk" invited senior executives to discuss the future of the auto market and the future of the industry. Among them, Li Chuanhai, vice president of Geely Automobile Group and president of Academia Sinica, had in-depth exchanges with Autohome.

　　In this year’s auto show, "smart" and "electric" are the two major labels on Geely’s booth. The official appearance of (|) shows these two labels quite thoroughly. As the first pure electric flagship sedan of the Galaxy series, the Galaxy E8 has a lot of out-of-the-loop places, such as the wind resistance as low as 0.199, such as the 800v supercharging system, such as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip, such as the 45-inch 8K ultra-clear screen, etc. For this car, Geely Automobile has given great expectations.

　　Looking at the first few months of this year, Geely’s performance in the field of new energy is quite impressive. From January to September, Geely’s new energy product sales reached 360,000 units, and in October this year, it exceeded 60,000 units in a single month. Li Chuanhai believes that the rise in performance is closely related to the launch of Galaxy series products. By 2024, Geely Automobile will enter the product year, and there will be relevant layouts in pure electric, intelligent electric hybrid and other technical routes, as well as high-end.

The following is a transcript of the conversation:

　　Autohome: Thank you very much for having the time to participate in the Autohome interview. I would like to ask what new products and new technologies Geely has brought to you at this Guangzhou Auto Show? Can you briefly introduce any highlights?

　　Li Chuanhai: The main products we bring to the Guangzhou Auto Show this time are based on some of our smart electric products, as well as some technologies of our vehicle to everything. The main new products are the Galaxy series, the Galaxy E8 that will be released today, and the L6 and L7 new energy products, mainly China Star, Boyue series, and some brand new products of the Emgrand series. At the same time, there is our geometric series of Panda mini, and Geometry E. The technology is mainly something to show, Galaxy Smart Space, including the latest generation of Thor Electric Hybrid and some exhibits of 8848.

"Galaxy E8"

　　Autohome: Geely Galaxy E8 officially debuted with you today. What are your expectations for this new pure electric flagship product? What do you think its core competitiveness is?

　　Li Chuanhai: The entire Galaxy series is a blockbuster series of Geely’s new energy transformation. The Galaxy E8 is the first pure electric flagship car of the Galaxy series, and its positioning is our new generation of pure electric flagship in China. Some of its main highlights, there are several major aspects, the first is that we are based on the SEA architecture, which is the first car of Geely brand built on this architecture, because it is a pure electric platform. This architecture is known to everyone. In fact, we spent nearly 5 years and invested nearly 20 billion to create this pure electric architecture. And it is an industry-shared platform. So far, there should be more than 10 brands. Now there should be a total of about 20 cars in development and mass production. It can be said that this architecture should be the most important technology for our Galaxy E8.

　　In addition, it also has several major features. We think it is the most beautiful pure electric flagship car. First of all, it is the first mass-produced car in the world. Our integrated luminous front face should be one of our lowest drag coefficients so far, reaching 0.199. This should be the best in the industry. We also think it is the best car to drive, the best to drive a pure electric flagship. Why do you say that? First of all, it is based on the empowerment of our SEA architecture. At the same time, we also have the only chassis adjustment laboratory in the whole industry. On this basis, we can make our products tested in extremely fast elk, and its top speed can reach 82 kilometers per hour. This speed should still be relatively leading in the industry. At the same time, we are also equipped with an 800-volt supercharging system and our high-performance silicon carbide electric drive. Our four-wheel drive product can accelerate up to 100 kilometers in 3.49 seconds, in terms of acceleration performance.

"Galaxy E8"

　　In addition, we also believe that this car is the safest, because it is still based on the SEA architecture, and it has a good foundation. Through the launch of some of our models on the market in previous years, it should be said that it is the only brand in the industry that has never overheated the battery. At the same time, we also have the SHIELD battery safety system. Based on some of its structural designs, it should be said that we are also the safest in the same class. The body structure design, we believe, is also the safest. At the same time, because it is the longest, widest, most luxurious, and smartest flagship sedan in the same class, on the one hand, it is the largest 45-inch 8K ultra-clear large screen in our class so far, and at the same time, it uses our entire top-class Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip. At the same time, it is also in the industry. The functions applied in artificial intelligence should be the most complete, because we have self-developed Geely, so far the largest parameter level, to the empowerment of intelligent voice of tens of billions of parameter-level large models, and the empowerment of some artificial intelligence products. Its rear row should be said to be the most spacious space in the same class, which constitutes some of the core product competitiveness of our Galaxy E8.

　　Autohome: Galaxy E8 actually sounds like there are still many bright spots. This year, Geely’s momentum in the new energy market is still very strong. In October, the new energy penetration rate has exceeded 34%. I would like to ask what is Geely’s secret to setting new highs in new energy?

　　Li Chuanhai: This year, Geely’s entire new energy series has been making great progress. Our entire new energy product reached 360,000 units from January to September, especially in October this year. Our new energy achieved more than 60,000 units, mainly due to the launch of our entire Galaxy series of these products. I think the most important cheats, in short, are two aspects. On the one hand, it is our entire product layout, because combined with Geely’s many years of new energy products, some forward-looking technologies and product layouts. So far, our Galaxy from 50,000 to 250,000 series has some layouts in intelligent hybrid and intelligent pure electric series products. In addition, we have been empowered by the technology we have accumulated over the years, such as our SEA architecture and e-CMA architecture, including the new generation of Raytheon Hybrid, as well as the Galaxy NOS intelligent operating system of our smart cockpit, including intelligent driving. We have also launched the leading NOA self-driving system in the same level. Of course, it also includes our layout in the field of artificial intelligence, including our Geely "heaven and earth integration" ecological layout. I think these are the foundations for the accumulation of Geely’s new energy.　　　

"Galaxy E8"

　　Autohome: I would like to ask, from March to April this year, the trend of price cuts was still very fierce in the automotive industry. I would like to ask, what is the impact on the future layout of Geely products, including pricing, etc.?

　　Li Chuanhai: Because the development momentum of the new energy industry this year is also very strong, the entire industry has launched many products in terms of intelligent hybrid and intelligent pure electricity, but we always believe that the future competition in the industry mainly lies in the competition of value, not the competition of price. With the launch of Geely’s Galaxy series products, how can we fight brand wars, product wars, technology wars, service wars in the industry, and even the moral wars that our chairperson has been emphasizing with us? Through the launch of these high-value products, our brand value can continue to rise. Only by taking this path can the entire Chinese new energy brand have greater development space and opportunities.

　　Autohome: What is Geely’s future plan for the new products and technologies you mentioned just now?

　　Li Chuanhai: In terms of new products and new technologies, because Geely has invested nearly 100 billion yuan in R & D in the past 10 years, we always believe that the core technology is our brand strategy. We have formed a brand label for our new energy architecture in the aspects of intelligent pure electric architecture. At the same time, we also mentioned the new energy strategy earlier, as well as some foundations of Raytheon Electric Hybrid, and our 800-volt, silicon carbide high-performance electric drive. These aspects are also some of the core technical capabilities that we have to layout and develop for so many years in the new energy strategy. At the same time, Geely has also laid out a lot in the aspects of intelligent driving, which is cost-effective. We are positioned as a popularizer of high-level intelligent driving below the 200,000 concept, and we also have intelligent parking. In the past, we also have layouts in some high-level intelligent driving auxiliary features. Next year, these products will be launched one after another. At the same time, in the smart cockpit, it should be said that there are also a large number of ecological layouts. In artificial intelligence technology, the future will surprise the industry or our users. This may be our next secret weapon.

　　Autohome: In the field of intelligent driving, its input-output ratio will be relatively low from the market perspective. Will our investment in this area be doubted? Its input-output ratio is too low, and we feel that the effect is not good. We may be more cautious in this regard.

　　Li Chuanhai: This is the only way for the development of this industry, and it is also a law of it. Any new technology in the early stage, you just see the benefits and then make investment decisions, there may be problems. In fact, everyone agrees that in intelligent driving, this is the future direction. No matter what the input-output ratio of the entire industry in intelligent driving is today, Geely always believes that the future path is very clear, so in terms of investment in R & D resources, we are committed to this path at all costs.

　　Autohome: Now China’s high-end new energy products are becoming more and more abundant, and prices continue to rise. What plans does Geely have in this regard?

　　Li Chuanhai: Our Galaxy E8, our entire Galaxy series, the so-called pioneering work of Geely New Energy’s entire transformation, its positioning itself is the positioning of high-value new energy products. Galaxy E8 is our pure electric flagship car as Geely Galaxy. It is positioned as a new generation of pure electric flagship cars in China. We also have high hopes for this product. In the future, we will continue one after another, especially in 2024, which should also be our product year. In the future, there will be many pure electric, intelligent electric hybrid, and even some other products. In our brand upward and high-end, we have some product layouts.

　　Autohome: Last question, in the first three quarters of 2023, Chinese brands accounted for about 83% of the entire new energy market. Do you think Chinese brands will continue to have such a high market share in the later stage?

　　Li Chuanhai: This is an inevitable result of Chinese brands, and I feel that today is far from reaching its peak. Because the entire Chinese brand is working hard in the field of new energy, electrification, and intelligence, I think everyone has also launched many new technologies and new products. I believe that in the future, the entire Chinese brand will become the most powerful position in our Chinese auto market. I believe that in the future, including the Chinese market and even the international market, Chinese brands will achieve very good results.

　　Huawei officially announced on August 29 that the cumulative shipment of its Mate series of mobile phones has reached 100 million units, which is amazing. And at 12:08 noon on the same day, Huawei launched the "HUAWEI Mate"
60 Pro Pioneer Program ", allowing a few lucky consumers to experience the most powerful Mate mobile phone in history in advance. In the Huawei mall, the Huawei Mate 60 has been put on sale
Pro is priced at 6999 yuan, and provides four color schemes of Yachuan Green, Baisha Silver, Nanwaxy Purple and Yadan Black for users to choose from.

　　With Huawei Mate 60
At the same time as the launch of the Pro, Meizu also issued a blog post warmly welcoming the return of the Mate series. Meizu also wrote very carefully on the poster that "the light boat has passed 10,000 mountains", and the picture shows Meizu’s top flagship Meizu 20
INFINITY Unbounded Edition can be said to have far-reaching implications. This year’s Meizu 20 series is also the return of Meizu, which means "heroes cherish heroes".

　　HDC 2023 was held earlier this month.
At the Huawei Developers Conference, Yu Chengdong said at the beginning of his speech: "The light boat has passed 10,000 mountains, and Huawei mobile phones are on the road to return." It left unlimited imagination for the majority of netizens. Meizu congratulates the poster for using the "light boat has passed 10,000 mountains" color scheme, which can be said to be very in line with the current situation.

　　However, Meizu’s Meizu 20 this time
INFINITY Unbounded Edition is also very eye-catching. This model stands out for its leading industrial design and product manufacturing process, and is positioned as Meizu’s flagship for future exploration, bearing Meizu’s pursuit of "unbounded" aesthetics. In terms of materials, Meizu 20
INFINITY Unbounded Edition is innovatively made of double-sided Meizu Titan glass, which makes the front and back sides of the mobile phone form a perfect integration, fully interpreting the design language and concept of Meizu Infinite Design.

　　International Online auto channel News: At the just-opened Shanghai Auto Show, a brand-new model under the Geely brand — Xingyue L also appeared in the booth. Xingyue L was built based on Geely CMA super matrix and was equipped with Volvo Drive-E series 2.0TD in-cylinder direct injection turbocharged engine. Xingyue L is the latest masterpiece of the design concept in the era of Geely 4.0, and it is also a heavyweight model for Geely to enter a comprehensive architecture.

The front face of Xingyue L is designed with a heavy design, and the air intake grille with a sense of strength matches the rib line of the engine hatch, which highlights the sense of strength of Xingyue L.

　　The side of the car body also continues the simple and atmospheric design style of the front of the car, and the black wheel eyebrows also add a hard-core atmosphere to Xingyue L. Although Geely officially positioned the Star Yue L as a compact SUV model, the "L" in the name is not added. The official explanations are Larger, Luxury and Liberate. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Xingyue L are 4770/1895/1689mm and the wheelbase is 2845mm, which completely reaches the level of mainstream mid-level SUV.

　　On the morning of the 26th, it was revealed that the audience shouted refund for the #WubaiHefei concert. According to Nine Pai News Video, on November 24th in Hefei, Anhui Province, before the performance of the Wubai concert, many audience shouted "refund" because of unreasonable seating arrangements, which attracted widespread attention. On the 25th, an audience member said that he bought a VIP area of 1,280 yuan and was assigned to the V6 area. "The stage is recessed, and two large screens are added on each side. We can only see half of the stage on both sides of V5 and V6. The band behind us is basically invisible, and people can’t see it. The big screen looked up. Many fans said that they went to massage after watching it." It claims that the organizers did not inform them in advance of the risk of being blocked from view in zones V5 and V6.

　　This is not the first concert this year that has caused complaints because of the obstruction of the viewing location. Before this, the "pillar ticket" of Liang Jingru’s concert in Shanghai also attracted public attention. According to the upstream news, with the explosive recovery of the concert market this year, the old problems such as high-priced tickets, scalper tickets, and "pillar" tickets continue to appear, and with the "sinking market" of concerts, some chaos in concerts held in third- and fourth-tier cities has begun to appear.

　　The performance market will explode in 2023

　　According to statistics, the total box office of national commercial performances in the first half of 2023 increased by nearly seven times year-on-year, according to Beijing Youth Daily. According to data released by the China Performance Industry Association, the total number of national commercial performances in the first half of 2023 was 193,300, with a total box office of 16.793 billion yuan, an increase of 673.5% year-on-year. Recovery and growth have become the core keywords of the offline performance market. According to Crowley’s report data on the economic development of offline music performances in 2023, from February to March this year, the number of daily active users of Damai.com increased by 74% compared with the same period in 2019, 4 times more than the same period in 2022, setting a five-year high. During the same period, Barley sold 47,000 performances, which was 3 times that of 2019. The platform box office scale and ticket purchases increased by 127% and 87% respectively compared with the same period in 2019. The box office of offline music performances increased significantly.

　　According to media reports, the opening ceremony of the 22nd China Shanghai International Arts Festival Performance Fair and the 28th Yangtze River Delta Performance Fair, Liu Kezhi, president of the China Performance Industry Association, shared relevant data in his opening speech: In the first three quarters of 2023, the number of commercial performances (excluding entertainment venues) reached 342,400, an increase of 278.76% year-on-year; the box office revenue reached 31.54 billion yuan, an increase of 453.74% year-on-year; unique viewers 100 million 11.05 million, an increase of 532.6% year-on-year, showing the huge market vitality of the national performance industry. However, with the recovery of the performance market, the important segments of the concert market, such as high-priced tickets, scalper tickets, and "pillar" tickets, continued to emerge. With the "sinking market" of concerts, some of the concerts held in third- and fourth-tier cities began to show some chaos.

　　Big concertIt’s hard to get a ticket "the goods are not on the right board"

　　According to Jiupai News, after more than a month of warm-up, on the evening of July 21, the TFBOYS "Ten-Year Covenant" concert was officially announced. In the afternoon of the same day, the entry "TFBOYS Official Expo Online" was already on Weibo’s trending topic list. Shortly after the official announcement of the concert, the first row of tickets was marked to 200,000 by "scalpers", and the second and third rows were also 150,000 yuan each.

　　According to a number of "scalpers", compared with the sky-high price invitation letter, the auction is the most cost-effective way to buy TFBOYS concert tickets. According to the auction fee table of a "scalper", a ticket with the highest price of 2013 yuan for a TFBOYS concert costs more than 7,000 yuan, while a ticket with a face value of 806 yuan costs more than 3,000 yuan. On the eve of the ticket grab, many scalpers made it clear that the order has been saturated and stopped taking orders. "After tonight, I can’t accept the 10,000 generation grab fee, and the pit space is limited." According to reports, a "scalper" group composed of several hundred college students received more than 50 orders, and it cost 3,000 yuan to find a programmer to write a ticket grab program to prepare a machine and manual dual channel to grab tickets. Some scalpers even recruited temporary part-time shooters due to insufficient demand. If the 2013 yuan ticket price is successfully grabbed, there will be a commission of 3,500 yuan, with an average of 4-5 people grabbing a ticket.

　　And similar to the situation of the Wu Bai concert, according to the previous news Knews news, some audience reported that they spent thousands of yuan to buy tickets for Liang Jingru’s Shanghai concert, but after arriving, they found that their vision was blocked by the pillars around the stage, and watching the singer became a pillar.

　　According to reports, footage taken by Ms. Zhang, a Shanghai resident, at her concert on May 20 showed that she bought a ticket worth 1,299 yuan on the second-floor grandstand, and the pillar directly in front of the seat happened to block the singer. Coincidentally, Mr. Liu, who bought a ticket of 999 yuan, also encountered a similar situation. On the Internet, the topic of the two Liang Jingru concerts in Shanghai blocking the line of sight caused heated discussions, and hundreds of consumers who had the same experience launched rights protection. According to reports, Damai has communicated the matter with the project organizers; the concert organizer, Shanghai Rubik’s Cube Pan Culture Performing Arts Co., Ltd., said that during the ticketing stage, they did not know that there would be four pillars in the stage design; Xuhui District Consumer Protection Commission has intervened and interviewed the company, and will urge the formulation of a solution in the future.

　　According to Red Star News, on November 15, the lawsuit related to the "pillar ticket" of Liang Jingru’s concert in Shanghai was heard in the Meilong Court of the People’s Court of Minhang District, Shanghai. A total of 9 spectators filed a lawsuit against the concert organizer, Shanghai Rubik’s Cube Pan-Culture Performing Arts Co., Ltd. The court combined the nine lawsuits and has not yet pronounced a verdict. According to reports, on the issue of concert disputes, the Shanghai Consumer Rights Protection Commission has counted that since 2023, concerts have become a new hotspot of consumption, resulting in an increase in concert-related complaints. The Municipal Consumer Protection Commission has accepted more than 7,000 concert-related consumer complaints, including group complaints caused by obstruction of consumers’ seat views. Due to the difficulty in reaching a consensus between operators and consumers on the consequences of damage and liability for compensation, complaints about the occlusion of the concert line of sight are frequent and highly concentrated.

　　Liang Jingru concert scene. Video screenshot

　　As if it was a response to Liang Jingru’s concert "pillar ticket", according to the Yangzi Evening News Network, after the official announcement of Jay Chou’s 2023 Carnival World Tour Concert Hohhot Station, a "Special Ticket Announcement" appeared in the official ticketing channel Cat’s Eye Ticketing. On August 14, the organizer of this concert, Shanxi Xingtai Guangying Culture and Entertainment Co., Ltd. issued an announcement, saying that it would meet the needs of the majority of fans, so that more fans could experience the joyous atmosphere of the "Jay Chou Carnival Concert" Hohhot station on the spot, and reduce congestion outside the concert venue. After coordination and striving with all parties, the organizer will sell seats with special discounts due to poor visibility in the area blocked by the sound console. The organizers also stated in the announcement that the seats in this area are blocked to varying degrees, and it is impossible to fully see the whole stage. A large screen is set up behind the sound console for the audience to watch, and the special tickets will not be refunded or exchanged after purchase. What caused the audience’s heated discussion was that although it is a blocked ticket, it is also divided into three gears, which are divided into 600 yuan, 500 yuan and 300 yuan. "I never expected that this will be divided into gears?" Some fans complained.

　　How to protect the rights of "pillar ticket" and "wall ticket"

　　Zhang Ming, a lawyer and partner of Beijing Jingshi Law Firm, said in an interview with China News Agency that Article 8 and Article 9 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law stipulate that consumers have the right to know and the right to choose goods or services independently. Viewers have the right to know the true situation of the services available for the selected seat when purchasing tickets. If the ticket seller and the organizer do not distinguish the seats whose line of sight is blocked in advance by marking and reducing the price, consumers can exercise reasonable rights protection based on the Consumer Rights Protection Law.

　　However, Zhang Ming also admits that the current cost of protecting fans’ rights is too high. Although the price of concert tickets may be as high as thousands of yuan, from the perspective of litigation, the amount is still very small. Litigation itself usually requires the appointment of lawyers, and it also requires a long cycle and high cost. Therefore, few people choose to go to the court to safeguard rights litigation. Generally, they can only choose to negotiate, seek help from consumer rights protection organizations, or complain to administrative supervision departments.

　　Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, believes that enjoying a complete audio-visual experience is the main right of concert ticket buyers and the main obligation of the organizers. Due to the failure of live performance equipment, the audience cannot hear the sound, or the performance cannot be seen due to occlusion, etc., the services provided by the organizers are defective, and consumers can ask the organizers to refund the tickets or refund part of the fees.

　　According to the Consumer Rights Protection Law, if the goods or services provided by the operator do not meet the quality requirements, consumers can return the goods in accordance with national regulations and the parties’ agreement, or require the operator to perform obligations such as replacement and repair, Fu Jian said. Consumers can communicate with the organizer to request compensation or refund. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement, they can report the complaint to the market supervision department or consumer association, or sue the court to claim their legitimate rights and interests.

　　In response to the provision that concert tickets are generally sold without refund, Fu Jian believes that the concert ticket purchase agreement belongs to the format clause, and the non-return and exchange once sold excludes the main rights of consumers. According to the provisions of the Civil Code, the format clause that excludes the main rights of the other party is invalid, and the concert tickets in the Interim Measures for the Return of Goods Purchased Online in Seven Days without Reason are not non-refundable goods. The platform unilaterally restricts the rights and interests of consumers to return and exchange tickets, which is a situation that aggravates the responsibility of the other party, and it is likely to be found to be invalid. However, considering that concerts have a certain timeliness, and the refund of tickets for upcoming performances is likely to affect secondary sales, it is reasonable to make restrictive provisions on refund.

　　The China Consumers Association also suggested that relevant performance ticketing platforms and organizers should consider how to better protect consumers’ rights and interests and improve consumer experience from the perspective of promoting the release of consumption potential, and reasonably formulate ticket return and exchange rules based on the principle of fairness and publicize them to consumers to ensure that consumers are fully informed and actively confirmed before purchasing tickets. If "no return, no exchange" tickets are launched, refundable tickets should be launched at the same time, and reasonable prices should be set for consumers to choose and arm’s length transaction.

　　On September 13, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Standardized Management of Large-scale Commercial Performance Activities and Promoting the Healthy and Orderly Development of the Performance Market". It requires that performance organizers should establish a ticket refund mechanism for large-scale performance activities, set a reasonable level of ticket refund fees, and ensure the legitimate refund rights of ticket buyers.

　　A little more news:

　　The "sinking" concert market is full of slots

　　According to the China Performance Industry Association’s "National Performance Market Brief for the First Half of 2023", music performances in third- and fourth-tier cities will increase in 2023, and performance cities will extend from first- and second-tier cities to third- and fourth-tier cities. In this regard, People magazine interviewed five young people who watched concerts in their hometowns, and upstream news sorted out some of the characteristics displayed.

　　Handan: The stars converge like a rural stage

　　The interviewee, Ms. Wang, said that in June, Handan held another concert. The title seller of the concert was a well-known wine company in Handan. "This concert also gave away a lot of tickets. The school teachers will send it out, the surrounding residents will send it out, the wine will be sent out, and the developers will also send it out. I feel like I can’t wait for half of Handan City to go."

　　Music festival scene. People magazine

　　According to his introduction, maybe because of the gathering of stars, four hosts were arranged to join the show, "But I think this host is also strange. There are one and the other to make everyone shout slogans and advertising words, and the interaction is very embarrassing, a bit like that kind of rural stage."

　　Maoming: Pour Coke in a Coke bottle and sell it for 15 yuan

　　The interviewee, Mr. Li, said that he was more speechless about spending during the music festival. "Food and water are not allowed at this music festival, even umbrellas are not allowed. I brought an umbrella and it was taken away… The umbrellas sold in the booth are 50 yuan a piece." Mr. Li also said that when he was hungry, he and his colleagues went to buy beef instant noodles, even if the instant noodles were added with a few pieces of beef, it cost about 40 yuan. "I went to buy Coke, and the staff poured Coke directly from a large Coke bottle, added a few pieces of ice, and sold it to me for 15 yuan." In addition, at the end of the performance, Mr. Li and his friends drove away. When they arrived at the exit of the parking lot, they found a large area blocked. They scanned the code to pay the parking fee. As a result, the signal was very weak, and they could not pay the fee. There were no staff there to serve.

　　Guigang: The sound quality is too poor, and the stars sing with difficulty.

　　The interviewee, Ms. Luo, said that the only concert she saw this year was a star concert. She said that on the first day of the ticket release, she grabbed 388 yuan of tickets from the grandstand area. "It stands to reason that the tickets bought on the first day must be closer to the stage, but when we arrived at the venue, we were at the’top of the mountain ‘in the last row." Ms. Luo asked the people in front of the seat that they bought tickets only a week before the show started, which cost only 200 yuan, or locally. The infield is even more exaggerated, and the tickets of 1200 yuan can be bought for more than 500 yuan before the opening. "Although the venue is quite large, the stage is really too small, which I can tolerate. But the sound quality is really bad. The celebrities also sing very hard, and they feel a little unable to speak. "

　　Nanping: Order and Chaos star performance is sloppy

　　According to the interviewee, Ms. Zhang, the organizers of the concert did little publicity and did not have a guide sign. As the opening approached, people began to sit in the stadium one after another, but many people took free and discounted tickets. "The person next to me came after dinner, and he said that he drank some wine in the evening, and he still smelled of alcohol." Ms. Zhang said that the order was also a bit chaotic after the performance began. Some people left their seats and squeezed into the front row, and the security did not care. "My husband and I both felt that a certain star acted sloppily when singing, like completing a task. After singing, they left the stage without interacting."

　　A city in Hebei: Sponsor "bottle" ads are played throughout the screen

　　The interviewee, Ms. Zhang, introduced that after the opening of the "All Stars Concert", everyone began to shout "refund". When the first singer came out, everyone did not give face at all, and they were also shouting, "There were some artists singing in the middle of the journey. Obviously, they were frightened by this scene, and they did not interact much.

　　Wine ads scrolled on the big screen. People magazine

　　Ms. Zhang said that from the perspective of the scene, the lighting design is not very reasonable. People are sitting in the infield, and the lights are directly shining on people’s faces, which is very dazzling. "There are a few small screens on the stage, and four of them play animations of wine bottles throughout. When the artist sings, the’big wine bottle ‘is still rolling next to it, which is very eye-catching."
