On August 12, the film "Mystery of the Dragon Card" held its premiere press conference in Beijing. Director Oleg Stepchenko and producer Alexei Petrushin, starring Jackie Chan, Yao Xingtong, Li Yu, Li Mengmeng, etc., appeared and shared the behind-the-scenes story of the film with the audience.

The film tells the story of an ancient oriental legend. When the Dragon King sleeps, his eyelashes grow to the ground and tea leaves can grow. He seals his mana in the dragon card and bestows this power on the white magic master and his daughter Cheng Lan who take care of his eyelashes. The evil black magician imprisons the white magic master and Cheng Lan in an exotic prison, and the dragon king also falls into a deep sleep, and the vast number of villagers who make a living from tea leaves live in dire straits.

At the scene, the producer Alexei Petrushin mentioned some of the film’s highlights. He said that the biggest highlights of the film are the two starring Jackie Chan and Schwarzenegger. Of course, there are three different cultures – Chinese, British and Russian – that are intertwined in one film. He believes that the special effects of the film can attract the audience. The film is a fantasy theme and also involves many historical events. He believes this is a film suitable for all ages.

Referring to the casting of Jackie Chan and Schwarzenegger as the stars, the producer said that he and the director came up with an interesting script that included a Chinese wise man who could be trusted with the dragon seal, and they believed that only Jackie Chan could fill the role. He has dreamed of meeting Jackie Chan since he was a child and wanted to hold his hand to thank him for his teachings, life experiences and life philosophy. This movie is the best way for him and the director to express their hearts to Jackie Chan. Schwarzenegger is everyone’s childhood idol and dream, and it is exciting to be able to hold his hand and feel the sportsmanship and never-say-die principles of his professors.

Director Oleg Stepchenko said that this is a true Sino-Russian co-production, with many dangerous scenes in the shooting, but Jackie Chan’s team behind the scenes escorted and provided the best guarantee for all the actors.

Jackie Chan plays a Chinese wise man in the film, a master of white magic. He jokingly calls himself "the white-haired man". This look requires a sticky beard and a hood, which is the most hated look for actors, but he has always wanted to try different roles. Referring to the cooperation with Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan said that he and Schwarzenegger are old friends, but when the producers said that Schwarzenegger would be invited to work with him, Jackie Chan still did not believe it. But when Schwarzenegger heard that Jackie Chan starred, he happily agreed. Jackie Chan also decided to take the film because Schwarzenegger agreed to act. Jackie Chan said that it was fun to work with Schwarzenegger and thanked the producers.

It is reported that the film will be released nationwide on August 16.

1905 movie network feature "Dragon Tiger Martial Master, never say no!"On April 7, international superstar Jackie Chan celebrated his 69th birthday, and his new film "Dragon Horse Spirit" also chose to meet the audience on this special day.

The film tells the story of Jackie Chan playing Lao Luo, who was the strongest dragon and tiger martial artist in the past, but was injured due to a dangerous action shooting. From then on, the scenery is no longer there, and he can only live with his beloved horse, Red Rabbit.

Director Yang Zi said in an exclusive interview with 1905 Movie Network that the role of Lao Luo was "tailor-made" for Jackie Chan’s eldest brother, and also showed the spiritual outlook of the older generation of dragon and tiger martial artists, paying tribute to these action actors who really fight!

When the film was filmed, it coincided with the 60th anniversary of Jackie Chan’s film career. As a loyal Jackie Chan fan, Yang Zi couldn’t help but design countless "Easter Egg Terriers". Through clothing styling and action lines, he took everyone back to Jackie Chan’s 60-year classic roles and presented a heartfelt "memoir" for his idol.

How to impress Jackie Chan’s big brother to join us? How to invite Wu Jing to "act as he is"? How hard did Jackie Chan, who is nearly 70 years old, work hard on the set? 1905 Movie Network interviewed Yang Zi, director and screenwriter of "Dragon Horse Spirit", to reveal the secrets behind the scenes of the film.

"Tailored"

"When I was a judge at the Silk Road International Film Festival, I was fortunate enough to watch a film called’Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist ‘. I was so shocked that I came up with the idea of creating a movie with Dragon and Tiger Martial Artist as the protagonist." Director Yang Ziru explained the origin of the creation of’Dragon and Horse Spirit’.

Unexpectedly, this idea was successfully affirmed and supported by Jackie Chan. He also shared a lot of past memories with Yang Zi, which were all incorporated into the creation of the script as valuable materials."The protagonist, Lao Luo, is indeed a character tailor-made for the eldest brother, and it also represents the spiritual outlook of the entire dragon and tiger martial arts industry."

As a veteran fan, Yang Zi admitted that he could not hold back a lot of "private goods", "whether intentionally or not, when the person in front of the camera is Jackie Chan, I can’t help but want to hear him repeat those classic lines or funny memes of the year."

As a result, the attentive audience will find that Guo Qilin’s character is called "Naihua", which is derived from the lawyer Zhou Huajian played in "Glass Bottle". The classic dish "Fruit Cat Stewed Water Fish Whip" in "Police Story 3: Super Cop" has also made a comeback, which is sure to make fans smile.

Since the whole story took place in the film and television city, the appearance of various costume scenes would not be contrary to the feeling of harmony, which also made the director Yang Zi "pay tribute" more enjoyable.

The long shirts in "Drunk Fist 2", the short shirts in "Young Master Long", the ancient costumes in "Myth", the tribal style in "Who Am I", the skateboard boy in "Fast Food Truck", the classic hat-throwing action in "Miracle" and so on, all of which are reminiscences, making fans hooked.

The long shirt in "Drunk Fist 2"

The tribal style in "Who Am I?"

Ancient costume in "Myth"

Yang Zi recalled that every time Jackie Chan changed into the same costume and made a signature move, it would cause shouting one after another on the set, which also made him particularly happy.

"Big brother likes to satisfy the small requests of movie fans the most. When he sees all of us yelling and never seeing the world, he thinks it’s very cute. He thinks that since I’m wearing this, it can make you so happy, and I believe other movie fans will be very happy when they see it, so our Easter eggs will increase more and more."

"Legacy"

"Big brother, let’s film together! My play." In "Dragon Horse Spirit", Wu Jing’s appearance is surprising.His role is a popular action star who was once promoted by Lao Luo. Through the dialogue between the two about real combat or special effects, he also shows the mental collision of two generations of action filmmakers.

Yang Zi said bluntly that this role is Wu Jing’s "true character", "Brother Jing is the perfect choice, and this character is him."In the backstage of Jackie Chan Action Movie Week, Jackie Chan also personally sent an invitation to Wu Jing, who agreed without hesitation, "Brother Jing is very busy, but he specially arranged time for the same frame as the big brother to play this role."

After all, this is the first time Jackie Chan and Wu Jing have the same frame on the big screen, and the interpretation is closely related to the theme of Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts, and many of the lines make them feel the same.

Yang Zi recalled that during the filming of a rival scene, Jackie Chan and Wu Jing once had tears in their eyes. "Big brother has been a benchmark for several generations of action actors. Everyone has basically accepted the support or help of big brother. So when they see those lines, they can’t help but think back to the past. It’s really a very heartfelt and direct communication."

If Jackie Chan and Wu Jing are passed down from action filmmakers, then the relationship with his "son-in-law" Guo Qilin can be said to be a "sudden change in style".Yang Zi also praised Guo Qilin without hesitation as the "King of Explosive Obstruction" on the set, adding comedy elements to the film both inside and outside the play.

"His control of comedy and his accurate output of humor have become instinctive. At the same time, as long as he is around, the scene will become extremely happy, and he will always say something at any performance, whether it is complaining, teasing or self-deprecating, which will make everyone laugh."

In the film, a scene where Jackie Chan teaches Guo Qilin to straddle can be called a "scene of calamity". Guo Qilin also laughed: I hope the door of the action movie that has just opened will be "closed" quickly.

In this regard, director Yang Zi said that Guo Qilin is very hard-working and loves to try new things. "Maybe one day he suddenly decides to challenge again, and this door will be kicked open by himself!"

"60 Years of Shadow"

Jumping down from the Ferris wheel and the roof, using various props to move around and reproduce the style of "Furniture God of War", in "Spirit of Dragon Horse", we can still see the uncompromising action scenes of Jackie Chan.

What impressed Yang Zi the most was the shooting of the Ferris wheel scene. Facing the Ferris wheel about 10 stories high, Jackie Chan, who is nearly 70 years old, insisted on shooting in person, just to present the best effect.

When he landed firmly, all the staff couldn’t help but clap their hands, but Jackie Chan said calmly: "What’s so small to clap, it was more dangerous to do it before."

Yang Zi confessed that considering Jackie Chan’s age and injuries, he had also made plans to reduce the complexity of his movements, but they were all rejected by the eldest brother himself, "Simple, it’s not Jackie Chan."

For the sake of "Dragon Horse Spirit", Jackie Chan postponed the day of knee surgery and received nine injections to close the group, but because he did too many "running, jumping, falling" and other actions in a short time, the pain relief effect of half a year was consumed in just 20 days.

Talking about this, Yang Zi was also very distressed, "Big brother always said to me: don’t let the fans down, to meet their inner expectations of the action scenes in Jackie Chan movies, especially such a film that shows the theme of Dragon Tiger Martial Artist, I want to show the state and feeling of this character."

When he heard "turn on", he was desperate and tried his best for every action. Lao Luo in the movie seemed to be Jackie Chan in the parallel world, fulfilling that promise with his whole life: "Dragon and tiger martial artist, never say no!"

Or as the line goes: They are a very simple group of people with only three words: boot, jump, hospital.

Yang Zi told us that it was of extraordinary significance to Jackie Chan that "The Spirit of Dragon Horse" could be filmed and released at an important time in Jackie Chan’s 60 years of film. This is a retrospective created by my brother and fans, a gift, and a precious "memoir".

"60 years of accumulation, 60 years of love, 60 years of perseverance. What is presented here is not just a filmmaker spirit, but more like a craftsman spirit that we now respect – ‘choose one thing and do it for a lifetime’. Big brother is the best representative of this spirit."

On January 5, Geely Automobile’s Galaxy series pure electric flagship car – Galaxy E8 was listed in Hangzhou, launching an impact on the medium and large car market at a price of 175,800 to 228,800 yuan.

This is the third model of Geely Galaxy.

Galaxy was born in February 2023 and is positioned in the high-end new energy of the Geely brand. From the launch of the Galaxy brand, the debut of the first car, to the launch of the third car, Geely Automobile only took 316 days – less than a year, this speed, it seems that there is no one in the industry to surpass.

The unique "Galaxy speed" is also reflected in sales and channel construction. From the launch of the first car L7 in 2023 to the end of the year, Galaxy only took 7 months to break through 83,000 vehicles, and the average price exceeded 160,000 yuan. In terms of channels, the first store opened in early June 2023. By the end of that year, the number of Galaxy stores had reached 650.

To some extent, "Galaxy Speed" symbolizes Geely’s speed, especially the speed of Geely’s transformation into new energy.

Including Galaxy, in 2023, Geely Automobile Group exceeded its sales target – annual sales of 1.687 million vehicles, an increase of about 18% year-on-year. Among them, new energy vehicles were 487,000 vehicles, an increase of more than 48% year-on-year. In the popular plug-in and pure electric fields of the industry, both increased significantly.

The gold content is not only reflected in quantity, but also in quality. Many brands of Geely Automobile Group have made new breakthroughs from different dimensions, brand perception has been continuously upgraded, and international influence has continued to increase. Last year, the group exported 274,000 vehicles, an increase of 38% year-on-year.

Each enterprise has its own development model, and Geely Automobile is moving forward steadily and solidly. In 2023, it originally planned to sell 1.65 million vehicles, but finally exceeded the completion. This is actually within Geely’s expectations, based on its relevant layout in the past few years.

Looking forward to 2024, Geely Automobile will continue to transform into a new vehicle, and has set a sales target of 1.90 million vehicles internally. From 1.687 million to 1.90 million vehicles, the growth rate is about 12.6%. Generally speaking, this goal is not radical, but the pace of new energy transformation will be accelerated. Geely hopes to increase sales of new energy vehicles by more than 66% this year.

In line with the playing style in 2023, Geely will not simply focus on price and marketing this year, but on high value, including safety, technology, service, intelligence, etc., so as to further high-quality transformation, just like the climbers step on every step.

Breaking the New Energy with Technology

On the night of the launch of Galaxy E8, Gan Jiayu, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, revealed a set of data to the media – in 2020, Geely Automobile’s new energy penetration rate was only 2.3%, slightly increased to 6.2% in 2021, increased to 22.9% in 2022, and by the fourth quarter of 2023, this data exceeded 40%.

From the perspective of specific products, Geely Automobile started a new round of strong product cycle last year, and new energy products blossomed in an all-round way, including the first L7 and L6 "ultra-hybrid CP" of the Galaxy series, as well as the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P, Extreme Krypton X, Geometric Panda series, etc., all of which were popular in the new energy field.

The foundation of these trends is Geely Automobile’s technological breakthroughs in the field of new energy.

Geely Automobile is the first of a number of Chinese brands to build open-frame vehicles. In 2013, Geely and Volvo jointly established the China-Europe R & D center, and then launched the compact modular architecture CMA. This architecture not only brings about changes in the intelligent manufacturing system, but also makes the product competitiveness leap. It is based on this architecture that the Lynk & Co brand was born.

By 2020, Geely Automobile put forward the concept of CMA Super Matrix, which will continuously empower the brands of Geely Holding Group to continuously create high-end, high-value and high-performance products, and at the same time open "Technology Geely 4.0", entering the era of comprehensive architecture car manufacturing.

In the transition to new energy, Geely Automobile is still involved.

The first is to derive two intelligent new energy architectures, CMA Evo and e-CMA, under the CMA super matrix. This derivation is not "oil to electricity", but a systematic upgrade and evolution of the three-power system, electrification architecture, and global intelligent safety under the concept of CMA’s original safety design.

The two architectures mainly focus on hybrid, but the specific technical routes are different. Among them, the CMA Evo architecture focuses on plug-in and hybrid, representing the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P; the e-CMA architecture currently focuses on intelligent electric hybrid, representing the Galaxy L7 and L6.

A more forward-looking layout is that almost as soon as the CMA architecture was released in 2016, Geely began to prepare to develop a pure electric architecture. In November of that year, three months after the launch of the Lynk & Co brand, Geely established the SEA vast architecture project team. In later years, when other car companies were still "oil to electricity", Geely already had pure electric architecture reserves.

In September 2020, the SEA vast architecture, which lasted 4 years and invested more than 18 billion yuan, was released. At that time, some industry experts commented that it was an efficient intelligent electric vehicle solution, redefining the research and development cycle of software vehicles, marking Geely’s entry into the intelligent electric vehicle system advancement stage.

The Extreme Krypton brand is based on this architecture.

Now, SEA’s vast architecture not only empowers Extreme Krypton, but also more than 10 brands such as Lotus, Volvo, Polaris, Smart, Extreme Yue, Geely, etc. Galaxy E8 is also built based on this architecture, bringing high-value smart electric vehicles to users in one step.

It is with these structures as the foundation that Geely has products or brands that stand out in every segment of new energy vehicles, especially at the mid-to-high end.

For example, in terms of plug-in, there is Lynk & Co. Data show that the monthly sales of Lynk & Co 08 EM-P continue to break 10,000, and the month-on-month growth continues to be positive. After the listing on September 8 last year, it will break 10,000 vehicles in 10 days, 35 days of mass production, and 70 days of delivery more than 16,000 vehicles, setting a record of more than 30,000 delivered in more than 3 months.

In just a few months, under the E-MP super-range electric solution, Lynk & Co has completed three major product layouts in the SUV market, namely the 08 E-MP, the new 09 E-MP and the 06 E-MP. This year, Lynk & Co’s first mid-size sedan, the 07 E-MP, will be launched.

On the pure electric side, it is represented by Extreme Krypton. By the end of 2023, the cumulative delivery of Extreme Krypton exceeded 190,000 vehicles. A few days later, until January 8 this year, it broke the 200,000 vehicle mark in one fell swoop and maintained the "zero spontaneous combustion" record. The brand demonstrates the super flexibility and expansion of SEA’s vast architecture, and now covers four differentiated markets such as hunting coupe, SUV, MPV and sedan.

What makes its peers admire is that in the field of new energy technology, Geely Automobile has achieved a full-stack self-developed ecological layout. In 2023, it released the world’s first mass-produced 800V lithium iron phosphate ultra-fast charging "BRIC battery". So far, it has completed the complete puzzle of 800V electric drive, electronic control and battery.

Geely’s self-developed new energy technologies include a high-performance silicon carbide four-motor drive system, a new generation of V3 charging technology with the highest single-gun charging power, as well as a new generation of Raytheon hybrid technology, Aegis battery safety system, EM-P super extended-range electric solutions, and green methanol-powered vehicles.

On this basis, in 2024, Geely will launch new pure electric architecture, new electric drive, CTB chassis, self-developed batteries and other new energy technologies and application achievements, providing more technical support for its new energy vehicle sales growth of 66%.

A more technical auspiciousness is slowly unfolding before people’s eyes.

The explosion of intelligent achievements

The competition for new cars has not only focused on new energy technologies represented by Sandian, but also includes intelligence. Especially in the era of new energy vehicles 2.0, electrification and intelligence have been integrated, just as Geely Automobile’s slogan has changed from "build everyone’s boutique car" to "build everyone’s intelligent boutique car".

In October 2021, the "Intelligent Geely 2025" strategy was released, which mentioned the need to build "one network and three systems", that is, a "Intelligent Geely Technology Ecological Network", as well as three major systems composed of intelligent energy, intelligent manufacturing, and intelligent services.

A few days before that conference, Gan Jiayue received a surprise: a small smart cockpit chip, the SE1000, was delivered to his office.

The chip is self-developed by Xinqing Technology, using a car-grade 7-nanometer process, multi-core heterogeneous, and advanced manufacturing process. It is China’s first car-grade SOC chip with a 7-nanometer process. "Although the chip is small, only it can support the intelligent technology ecological network," said Gan Jiayue. The chip is called "Eagle No. 1", and it is equipped with the Lynk & Co 08 EM-P, which was launched in September 2023, after its first mass production.

At that time, Geely Automobile expected to launch 5-nanometer in-vehicle integrated supercomputing platform chips and high-computing-power autonomous driving chips from 2024 to 2025, with a computing power of 256 TOPS.

Now that the time train has entered 2024, I believe it won’t be long until that day.

The newly launched Galaxy E8 has also benefited from a breakthrough technology in intelligence by Geely. In June 2023, the "Geely Future Travel Constellation" 01 group was successfully launched with one shot and nine stars. In February this year, Geely will launch 02 groups of 11 satellites, including "Geely Galaxy" and "Long-range Stargazing". The Galaxy E8 is a direct beneficiary of Geely’s satellite matrix – it will support two-way satellite communication.

Don’t underestimate this technology. It can be more accurate and delay-free positioning, which will bring great help to the future of high-end intelligent driving – from November 2023, our country will gradually issue L3 autonomous driving test licenses, and the industry agrees that L3 autonomous driving is just around the corner.

Geely has also built a computing power base that integrates "car, road, cloud, network, and graph" – Geely Intelligent Computing Center, which will be launched in early 2023. The project has a large-scale AI computing platform and agile and efficient soft and hard collaborative system design, which can support AI large-scale model technology innovation and application. This will help Geely to further open up its technological generational advantages in the fields of intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, and new energy power management.

The most intuitive thing is that industry-leading handcar integration solutions such as Galaxy NOS and LYNK Flyme Auto have been applied to Geely Galaxy series, Lynk & Co and other models, enhancing the smart cockpit experience; Extreme Krypton high-speed NZP has been launched, and Geely NOA high-end intelligent driving pilot system has been applied to Boyue L and has been put on the market.

Geely hopes to seize the intelligent first opportunity in the second half of the new car, and realize the application of intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit and artificial intelligence in the future.

Under the above intelligent layout, Geely will bring new trends and trends to the automotive industry.

In early 2021, Geely launched "two blue action plans", focusing on intelligent energy-saving and new energy vehicles on the one hand, and intelligent pure electric new energy vehicles on the other hand. There are both similarities and differences between the two.

In both plans, intelligence is included. In recent years, Geely has completed relevant capital investment in the entire ecosystem, and has deeply deployed operating systems, intelligent cockpits, in-vehicle chips, autonomous driving, car network connectivity, low-orbit satellites, and intelligent computing centers.

In terms of intelligence, some traditional car companies do not use various gimmicks to attract users and predict in advance like new powers. On the contrary, they usually do more and say less.

In fact, Geely has a lot of reserves, such as high-speed and urban NOA capabilities, which are being internally verified. Banning Studio learned that in 2024, Geely will hold a technology conference, where more intelligent technologies from Geely can be seen on board, including in AI smart cockpits, urban commuter NOA, satellites, and other fields.

Developing the core is of high value

Whether it is Krypton, Lynk & Co, or Geely Galaxy, Geely Automobile is leading the market with high quality and setting a model of high-end Chinese brands – not piling up painless configurations, nor blindly pursuing high prices, but ensuring that users can buy high-value products at the right price.

1.687 million vehicles, an increase of about 18% – this set of data is not as amazing as some car companies, but the gold content is very high, among which the "gold" is the collective strength of each brand, continuous growth, and anchoring the rapid transformation of new energy and intelligence.

In terms of internationalization, Geely Automobile also performed well. Among them, the Geely brand completed the listing of 10 high-value products in 43 countries around the world; established a fourth subsidiary in the Mexican market to develop the Latin America market with systematic strength.

Lynk & Co has opened 11 offline experience stores in six European countries. The 03 performance family and the flagship model 09 will be launched in the Asia-Pacific market in 2023, enriching Lynk & Co’s overseas product matrix. Next, Lynk & Co will continue to deepen its European strategy and Asia-Pacific strategy, and accelerate the development of South East Asia markets such as Vietnam and the Philippines.

Extreme Krypton has landed in 12 international mainstream markets. Extreme Krypton X and Extreme Krypton 001 have been delivered overseas one after another, and 2 Extreme Krypton centers have been completed in Europe. Extreme Krypton 001 and Extreme Krypton X have been sold in Kazakhstan. Extreme Krypton will open 2 stores in Kazakhstan and expand to 11 stores in 8 cities around the world in 2024.

In addition to products going overseas, technology going overseas is also accelerating. In the first half of 2023, Geely Automobile’s technology licensing revenue was 2.71 billion yuan, an increase of 5.5% year-on-year. In 2022, this data was 1.66 billion yuan.

In addition, Geely and Renault jointly established a powertrain company with an annual production capacity of over 5 million sets of engines and transmissions. Geely also exports a variety of products, engine technology, management and human resources to help Proton turn losses into profits.

More importantly, it is to enhance its international influence. In 2021, Geely became the first Asian member in the history of the IATF, and in November 2023, the IATF awarded Geely a license. So far, Geely has led the development of 407 international, national, industry, local and group standards, and completed the release of 254 standards.

These achievements are due to Geely Automobile’s insistence on technology and quality. They often talk about a saying internally: products are boats, marketing is sails, and word-of-mouth is wind. Meaning, if the marketing power is strong but the product power is not strong, it can only be a temporary phenomenon, and the boat may be subverted at any time; user word-of-mouth is also very important, water can carry a boat and capsize it.

Building high-value products has always been at the heart of Geely Automobile’s development.

While transitioning to new energy, Geely has not given up on the fuel vehicle market. The Geely brand China Star series continuously reshapes the fuel vehicle value benchmark with more advanced gasoline-electric hybrid technology, smarter technological safety, more luxurious vehicle quality, driving control power that takes into account performance and energy saving, and smart cabin smart driving.

At the launch event of the Galaxy E8, Mr. Gan said: "Dancing and spinning will not really bring high value to users. Only by adhering to the true colors of car makers and constantly subverting users in safety, design and experience can we create high value for users."

Previously, when he released the "Smart Geely 2025" strategy, he said that the strategy has three goals – to create a smart travel experience that exceeds users’ expectations, to build a technology-led global car company, and to become the most competitive and respected Chinese car brand.

These three goals are very simple, not to mention to become the top few in global sales, not to mention how high the price is sold, and not to mention how much profit is achieved.

In an interview with Lin Jie, senior vice president of Geely Automobile Group and general manager of Lynk & Co Automotive Sales Company, Bangning Studio once asked a question: What kind of brand will Lynk & Co eventually become?

Lin Jie replied: "To become a brand that Chinese people are proud of, this is our vision. This vision is more fulfilling, more valuable and more meaningful than how much money you earn."

This is the value and consensus of Geely Automobile, and they want to fight for the value of the Chinese brand.

In the year of the legalization of online car-hailing, there has been a lot of discussion about the effectiveness of the reform, including praise for "the reform has promoted the online car-hailing market from disorder to order, the protection of passenger rights and interests, and the gradual implementation of safety mechanisms". There are also doubts about "the threshold is too high, and it is difficult to reproduce a taxi". How to view the results of the implementation of the new policy on online car-hailing in the past year, and how to deepen the reform of the rental industry in the future?

1905 movie network feature To make a skit, make a lot of noise.

Recently, Zhou Xingchi officially announced his entry into the field of short dramas, launching the comedy record label "9527 Theater", which will cooperate with excellent young creators to create content for users based on the Douyin account of "Zhou Xingchi’s director works". The first micro-short drama work "Golden Pig and Jade Leaf" is planned to be launched in May this year, produced by Zhou Xingchi, supervised by producers, and starred by first-line actresses.

It has not been announced whether Stephen Chow will personally hold the camera. Fans who are familiar with Stephen Chow see the number "957" and naturally think that this is the number of Tang Bohu played by Stephen Chow in Washington as a servant.

In an interview, Mr. Chow expressed his views on short plays: "Short plays are a rapidly developing field of technological innovation and media innovation in recent years… I’m looking forward to this new attempt, and everyone will join us." When Chow’s nonsensical comedy collides with the fast-paced short form, what kind of spark will be generated?

2023 can be called the "year of short plays". According to relevant statistics, the total number of short plays launched in the whole year exceeded 1400, with a year-on-year growth rate of 50%. The number of records was nearly 3,000. The size of the short play market was nearly 40 billion, and it was close to 70% of the film market in the same year. The short play industry showed a trend of explosive expansion.

After the "9527 Theater" was exposed, netizens held different positions. Some people said that Zhou Xingchi followed the trend of capital and consumed classic feelings, "I am afraid that the evening festival will not be guaranteed, and I will smash my own signboard for so many years"; some people look down on the king of movie comedy to reduce the dimension and drop the price to shoot micro-dramas; some people remain optimistic about this, hoping that "Xingye" can bring high-quality works to the current barbaric growth and serious homogeneity of the subject matter of the short drama market.

In fact, this is not the first time Stephen Chow has broadened the runway: in the technology field, he has previously posted a public search for Web3 talent (Web3 refers to the potential next phase of the Internet, a "decentralized" Internet running on "blockchain" technology), saying that he is working on Web3 + AI projects. In the animation field, he was the executive producer of the Netflix animated film "Monkey King" last year, and his Bigao Group will also develop animated films and produce three independent animations.

Judging from the existing achievements of "Monkey King", Douban scored 5.5 points, IMDB 5.7 points, and Rotten Tomatoes had a freshness of 59%, which was not ideal. However, it is unknown how much Zhou Xingchi participated in the content as a producer.

There may be an interest in testing different fields, or there may be considerations of making money, and the two are not in conflict. What can Zhou Xingchi bring to the short drama industry that is becoming a new trend in content? Good or bad, it doesn’t matter if you give it a try. Besides, he is also preparing his new movie "Shaolin Women’s Football".

After many directors went through the creative peak and created a batch of classic masterpieces, they did not keep up with the changes of the times in time, could not find new positioning and goals, and were soon surpassed by Hou Lang. Like Zhou Xingchi "does not put eggs in the same basket", contact in multiple fields is actually looking for different opportunities to prolong their creative life.

The director is the most representative. For example, his new Spring Festival film, judging from the materials and information released so far, does not have the iconic color aesthetics of the past, nor does it pay special attention to the composition, shape and other forms of audiovisual aspects, and the overall appearance is very "simple".

Zhang Yimou said that this is a "new realist" film, the story is intended to be understood by ordinary people, and the serious rule of law theme is made into a comedy genre, which is also to cater to the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival stall.

Perhaps fans who like Zhang Yimou’s usual style will be surprised to see this work: this is very unlike Zhang Yimou. Indeed, Zhang Yimou has been seeking innovation and change over the years, and each time he makes a move, he subverts the established impression of the public.

From the early stage of adapting literary novels and making art films, to the commercial blockbusters that invested in big productions and big scenes, and now gradually abandoning the past fascination and exploration of visual wonders and forms of expression, Zhang Yimou is more focused on telling good stories at this stage. All reflect Zhang Yimou’s subtraction in form, addition in plot, and pursuit of dramatic tension in story.

The screenwriters of "Sniper" and "Manjianghong" use "returning to basics" to describe Zhang Yimou’s current directorial state, which is to return to the storytelling essence of the film. "After watching a story, you can get psychological satisfaction, just like making the audience full of food."

Zhang Yimou once talked about his creative changes in the master class of the Northern Film Festival: "Let go of the body of the artist with quotation marks, try to fly into the homes of ordinary people, to educate and entertain, to approach the audience, interact with them, let the film move and attract them as much as possible, and put the artistic ideas you want to express behind. I myself admire this kind of creative idea."

In the past, Zhang Yimou made fewer comedies, and comedy was also a favorite genre among Chinese audiences. From "Manjianhong" to "Article 20", he has made efforts in genres he is not good at. "It’s already difficult to just laugh, and it has to make people laugh and reminisce," he said. "I’m slowly learning."

Not only are creative ideas and techniques changing, but Zhang Yimou is also actively changing the track. He will start filming his first online drama "League of Legends", his first exposure to the theme of e-sports. He said he wanted to keep up with the current popularity of young people and "make a cool and handsome feeling." Earlier writer Chen Yan revealed that Zhang Yimou will adapt his novel "The Protagonist", which won the Mao Dun Literary Award. If it takes shape, it will be Zhang Yimou’s first TV series.

Zhang Yimou likes to try new shooting methods and do things that have not been done before. There must be some audiences who will question and wonder why they don’t pay attention to the best colors and forms? Why "go down to the earth" to make dramas? Why no longer shoot art films that can win awards in the past? Zhang Yimou once stated that the current self-positioning is to be a professional director, not to pretend to be a master, and to maintain a young mentality.

Zhang Yimou is increasingly becoming a creative product director serving the market. As he put it, "What’s the point of creators just expressing themselves, saying my thoughts, my art and feelings, but not attracting the audience to watch in the cinema?" Maybe he will go to shoot short dramas next, and consider what the deeper audience likes to watch.

Famous directors entering new industry fields may stir up "a river of spring water", affecting or even changing the pattern.

After the director started filming, it attracted a lot of doubts, and the three-year secret filming occasionally attracted rumors about the project’s difficult delivery. When the drama version of "Flowers" went LIVE, the audience ratings and word-of-mouth became popular all the way, becoming a New Year’s phenomenon-level explosive drama. The response along the way can be described as "questioning Wong Kar-wai, understanding Wong Kar-wai, and becoming Wong Kar-wai".

Before the broadcast, many people wondered: Can Wang Kar-wai’s usual weak narrative and strong style of filming adapt to the context of the series? Obviously, Wang Kar-wai, who was filming for the first time, made a change. "Flowers" not only continues the audio-visual aesthetic and emotional characteristics of Wang Kar-wai alone, but also has many strong conflict plots that are in line with the audience’s love to watch. This is the first time that Wang Kar-wai’s work has such a high density of plot.

So far, "Flowers" has risen to 8.6 on Douban, and some experts at the seminar commented that "Flowers", which is a fusion of Wang Jiawei and the series, is like a "bomb" that overturns the normal, mediocre and comfortable creative status quo that has been formed in the Chinese TV drama industry for many years.

Of course, the drama did not face one-sided praise, and there were also criticisms that its adaptation was divorced from the original, the restoration of the times was not true enough, the story was fragmented, and the characters’ dialogue was too noisy. Even if the praise was mixed, Wang Jiawei’s step was still bold and innovative, which was better than resting on its laurels and sticking to the old ways.

The reason why great directors were able to create screen classics and climb the peak is precisely because they knew how to keep up with the times, keep up with trends, and lead new trends.

From film crossover to web dramas, TV dramas, short dramas, etc., artistic creation does not distinguish between stages, and there should be no chain of contempt between different media. When more famous directors join a new market, it may inspire them to change their creative routines, but also change the market’s routines, and drive more outstanding talents to enter the market. Only by learning from each other and integrating can we create new artistic vitality and the driving force for the industry’s endurance.

Recently, a BYD Han EV vehicle had a serious traffic accident during the test drive. It can be known from the painting of the car body that this is the Han EV test drive of BYD Auto (a 4S shop in Shanghai).

Judging from the pictures at the scene of the accident, the front of Han EV directly collided with a big tree thicker than the bowl mouth, the big tree was bent, the front of the test car completely collapsed, and the engine room was seriously damaged, but the AB column looked intact and the vehicle did not catch fire. In addition, the airbag is fully ejected. At present, the official cause of the accident has not responded for the time being.

Reminder of matters needing attention in test drive

01

Test drive vehicle qualification

First of all, before the test drive, you should know the test drive rules of the 4S shop, whether there are any models you want to try, whether the test drive vehicles are insured, and whether the people accompanying the test drive are professional test drive personnel.

02

Test drive process

During the test drive, drive carefully according to the prescribed test drive route. Don’t drive illegally and don’t change the route at will.

Before you get on the test drive, check the appearance of the vehicle. If you find any problems, raise them in time to avoid unnecessary troubles after you come back from the test drive.

After the test drive starts, don’t rush to start the car, but communicate with the sales staff to understand the basic functions of the steering wheel area and driving gear area. Before starting the car, familiarize yourself with the simulation operation to avoid problems when driving on the road.

03

Accelerate feelings

During the test drive, if the road permits, you can slightly step on the accelerator to feel the performance of the car to a certain extent, but you must ensure driving safety.

04

Brake feeling

During the test drive, it is also important to try the braking strength, because there are soft and hard brakes, and everyone should know fairly well.
