So this is a handsome photo I collected from the whole network for everyone to enjoy. I hope you will always remember the handsome guy Zhou Xingxing!"

It is reported that Lin Yun starred in the 2016 "Mermaid" directed by Stephen Chow, which set a box office record for Chinese mainland films with more than 3.30 billion yuan.In addition, Lin Yun has celebrated the birthday of Zhou Xingchi for nine consecutive years.

"Dragon and Phoenix Fight"

This film, which was released in 2004 and starred by Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen, has a rating of 6.7 on Douban, which is not only far lower than a number of classic Hong Kong films that have been rereleased before ("Eastern Heretic: The Ultimate Edition" 8.7, "A Ghost Girl" 8.6, "Sweet Honey" 8.8, "Journey to the West: The Great Sage Married" 9.2, "The Grandmaster of the Generation" 7.8), even in the works of director Johnnie To, it is not a masterpiece.

　

A list of some reruns of Douban movies in recent years

Therefore, as soon as the replay news was announced, some people said that the filmmakers were trying to make money.

　

Is it money? We give the choice to the audience. If the audience supports the show and the film company makes money, it means that the business vision is good; if the box office is not good, it loses the publicity fee for the replay, which is also the film company’s own money.

However, we found that in recent years, only one domestic movie, "Journey to the West: The Great Sage’s Marriage", has grossed over 100 million yuan.

So what kind of movie is "Dragon and Phoenix Fight"?

　

That has to start with Galaxy Images, the production company headed by Mr. To.

　

Galaxy Image

As is known to all, Galaxy Image is most respected by fans for its many stylized works, such as "The Birth of a Word", "Two Can Only Live One", "Dark Flower", and "Gunfire" in the late 1990s.

From left: "The Birth of a Prefix", "Two Can Only Live One", "Dark Flowers", "Gunfire" posters

The fate of shooting this kind of gray, violent and fatalistic work is usually not to be popular. Therefore, Galaxy Imaging once struggled to operate.

　

In order to survive, Mr. To and Mr. Wei also led their colleagues to make commercially successful films, earning money to make stylized works. Among these hit films were the romantic films "Lonely Man and Widow" and "Slimming Men and Women" starring Andy Lau and Samuel Cheng.

　

"Alone Man and Widow" "Slimming Men and Women" poster

Released in 2000, "A Man and a Woman" is about office romance, full of fun and a sense of the times. In the Hong Kong market at that time, it won 35.21 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

2001 released "slimming men and women", handsome men and beautiful women into fat boys and girls, is the biggest point of the movie, the plot is easy and funny, loved by urban audiences, the box office 40.32 million Hong Kong dollars.

　

The current hot sale of "Ex 3: Goodbye Ex" is to capture the psychology of lovelorn syndrome and provide relief channels for those who are unhappy on the emotional road. The "Lonely Men and Widows" and "Slimming Men and Women" of that year are a tender and delicate depiction of the emotional life of urban men and women, and presented in a light comedy way, which played a role in soothing the soul, and achieved a great harvest at the box office.

The 2004 release of this "Dragon and Phoenix", in the genre of comedy and love, the story of stealing a beautiful enemy, and the combination of "Johnnie To + Andy Lau + Cheng Xiuwen", won the Hong Kong market box office that year 15.30 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Dragon and Phoenix" has also been released in the mainland, and the box office is not very good. The reason is that the film girl believes that it is caused by the contrast between the story before and after the film. Most of the first half of the movie, the hero and heroine of the two thieves fight wits, which makes people think it is a dazzling theft movie, but in the end it ends with love as an excuse, and it is anticlimactic.

　

So is this "Dragon and Phoenix Fight" worth watching? Yingmei invited a few senior Hong Kong film fans who have seen this film to score and make short comments for your reference.

　

Zhao Zhu (screenwriter) 75 points

The peak plays of Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui, the best "thief partner" of Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen. The concept of love in life and death, after the package is flipped layer by layer by the thief couple’s wits and courage, has actually dispelled some of the tragic colors, so there are still many audiences who will express their puzzlement and dissatisfaction with Zheng Xiuwen’s happy smile at the end. But compared with the current environment of domestic films, Wei, Du, Liu, and Zheng are all at their peak. It is recommended to watch.

　

Nine Lives (Film and Television Practitioner) 65 points

　

The plot is too ordinary, and the Galaxy Imaging movie works are at a lower middle level, right? But Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen, a classic Hong Kong movie CP, are still worth revisiting on the big screen, and the soundtrack is good.

　

Kitty (Film New Media Editor) 70 points

To Qifeng + Andy Lau + Cheng Xiuwen, there is a beautiful atmosphere of the golden age of Hong Kong movies. Especially the elements such as Nokia mobile phones and jumping beads, it is full of nostalgia. For some reason, I always feel that the character and plot in Andy Lau’s film are very similar to "Dark War". Although I can guess the ending halfway through, I can’t help but keep watching with a smile on the corner of my mouth. This is probably the charm of Hong Kong classic romances. And the ending is very touching.

　

Cui Ding (editor of the film website) 70 points

The film that Du Qifeng and Wei Jiahui cooperate in is full of all kinds of wit and humor. The old couple walks in the rivers and lakes, obviously in love, but they are going to separate. It is a modern love story, but the core is very retro and legendary.

　

Wang Jiachuan (Editor-in-Chief of Film Media) 65 points

It can be seen as the last installment of Andy Lau’s CP trilogy. Although there are also small sentiments, small pleasures, and small contradictions, it ends with a big tragedy. To Qifeng is not filming the confusion of love, but the supremacy of love.

　

The re-release date of "Dragon and Phoenix Fight" is February 10, that is, this Saturday, referring to Valentine’s Day on February 14. When Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen return to the classic screen CP, they bring people not only the emotion of the fleeting of Shaohua, but also the beauty of the frozen time frame.

So, would you go to the cinema for them?

In recent years, the community group buying model has gradually attracted the attention of capital, and many leading e-commerce platforms have entered the market. The COVID-19 epidemic has made community group buying more popular. A number of data show that community group buying is prosperous during the epidemic.

Simply put, community group buying is a business model that provides daily goods and life services to residents in surrounding communities using WeChat and WeChat Mini Program as carriers. The Mini Program places an order and picks up goods at the door of the community group buying, which brings a win-win situation. For merchants, it can reduce the cost of acquiring customers, improve the repurchase rate of goods, and also save distribution costs. For example, each community only needs to be delivered to the designated "head of the group", and then the "head of the group" will distribute the goods to the community users uniformly, reducing the cost of logistics and distribution. In addition, it can also use the real-world friends relationship to acquire customers online and offline, making up for the shortcomings of traditional e-commerce.

For consumers, participating in community group buying on the one hand can get more cost-effective goods, on the other hand, there is no need to worry about after-sales problems. Some consumers said that an important reason for choosing to place an order in the community is the trust in the "head of the community". The "head of the community" and the user belong to the offline person-to-person model, and the trust is higher.

Community group buying has certain development potential, but consumers are more looking forward to this model to become assured group buying. How community group buying develops more standardized is also worthy of attention. Any consumption model must abide by the law. Whether it is spontaneous solitaire buying in community groups or buying on other e-commerce platforms, it must comply with the laws and regulations of our country on production standards and food safety standards. This also requires the joint efforts of platforms, merchants and "heads of state", and even consumers. In addition, it cannot be ignored that group buying market order and online transaction safety also urgently need regulatory efforts to ensure that community group buying truly becomes assured group buying.

Do you want to handle business? The service staff holding the Pad will take the initiative to walk up to you and do the business while standing and talking; you buy a villa or a large flat floor, but you don’t know how to network your home? At this time, you can touch the "model room" on the interactive big screen of the business hall, and you can see at a glance where to put a few routers; Xiaomi, Huawei, Apple and other companies have built a sales scene similar to the study and living room here. In addition to mobile phones, there are also various Internet celebrity products such as smart sweepers, smart speakers, and smart rearview mirrors…

Today, Shanghai Telecom’s first smart business hall at 1551 Zhangyang Road has been upgraded and reopened to the outside world. This is also one of the five pilot smart business halls launched by China Telecom Group in Guangzhou, Nanjing, Hefei, Chengdu and Shanghai.

?

They need to transform themselves, and their peers are also transforming

?

Shanghai Telecom’s Zhangyang Road Business Hall was officially opened in June 2008. It is a first-class business hall operated by Shanghai Telecom. Because it is located in the bustling Lujiazui Financial District, it not only serves community residents, but also serves white-collar workers in surrounding business buildings. Therefore, the business volume has always been very large, and the sales of mobile phone digital products are also good. Why is it taking the lead in launching "change change" now?

?

According to industry analysts, in recent years, with the opening of electronic channels such as operator’s official website, official Weibo, telephone customer service, APP, etc., the customer service function of traditional telecom business halls has been increasingly replaced; at the same time, with the development of Internet technology, the application of facial recognition, big data, scan code purchase, Mini Program and other advanced technologies of new retail enterprises emerge in an endless stream. In contrast, the traditional sales methods of mobile phones and digital products in telecom business halls are still very outdated and difficult to capture the hearts of young consumers. Zhangyang Road Business Hall is located in a prosperous area, surrounded by many high-end real estate and many commercial buildings. Therefore, the acceptance of taking the lead in transforming into a smart business hall is high.

?

The transformation of Zhangyang Road business hall is also the result of internal competition in the industry. On December 18, the flagship business hall of Shanghai Mobile Changshou Road was replaced with "new makeup", which caused a lot of shock in the industry. The newly remodeled Changshou Road flagship business hall is carried by Shanghai Mobile’s "dual gigabit" network and integrates into multiple experience areas such as smart home, smart life, and e-sports mobile games. At the same time, the flagship store on Changshou Road has also been built into the first e-sports experience hall in the country. The core e-sports event area in the hall is supported by China Mobile’s Gigabit Optical Broadband network. The world-renowned game provider Perfect World and the world-renowned e-sports event KPL have joined hands with well-known Chinese game equipment providers Razer, Gigabyte AORUS, and Ningmeidu. The goal is to become a landmark of Shanghai e-sports culture. In the future, not only will dozens of formal or informal competitions be held here, but also live broadcasts of international e-sports events will be introduced.

?

Since the mixed reform, China Unicom has successively used its own business hall resources in Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xuzhou and other places with Alibaba, JD.com, Suning.com and other e-commerce enterprises to jointly create "smart life experience stores". With the blessing of e-commerce, Unicom has further revitalized its own brick and mortar stores. At the same time, Alibaba, JD.com and other offline entities have opened up online and offline to implement new retail.?

?

Each clerk has a QR code, and the user is the exclusive "fan" of the business hall.

?

Walking into Shanghai Telecom’s new smart business hall, I saw that its spatial pattern was divided into 9 functional areas: entrance consultation area, smart home experience area, end point exhibition and sales area, service leisure area, business acceptance area, payment area, cooperation area, complete service area, and self-service area. The entrance consultation area has cancelled the manual consultation desk and served users through the intelligent customer identification and intelligent guidance system. After loading the facial recognition system, as soon as the high-star user enters the business hall, the service staff will receive the user’s information as soon as possible, so as to actively provide users with personal consulting services. The "mobile" business processing can also be completed through the handheld Pad, and customers no longer need to wait in line and go to the cabinet for processing, which greatly saves time.

The large screen in the pick-up area at the entrance of the business hall is connected to the Pad in the hands of the service staff through the network. When the service staff sees an object that needs mobile services, they will take the initiative to greet it.

"Xiao Ai, start the sweeping robot." The clerk gave an order to the Xiaomi speaker, and the Xiaomi sweeping robot began to clean the business hall carefully. For young people, smart homes help them free their hands and reduce the thought of cumbersome affairs. For the elderly with limited mobility, smart homes are a necessary guarantee for life. In this smart home exhibition area, customers can get up close and personal with smart home products such as smart smoke detectors, door and window alarms, Find smart pianos, etc.; in the end point experience area, I saw this business hall starting from a single mobile phone sales to a diversified smart end point sales expansion, the introduction of Huawei, Xiaomi and other brands close to 40 kinds of smart products, mobile phones, smart speakers, car purifiers and other smart products can be purchased in one stop in the business hall, users can scan the QR code on the product label, that is, you can understand the product more detailed technical parameters and instructions, can also be mobile payment, and the business hall provides home delivery services.

?

From dial-up Internet to broadband, from copper cable to all-optical network, today, with the improvement of people’s living standards, intelligent networking for enterprises and institutions has begun to enter households with villas or large flat floors. In the past, intelligent networking was a relatively abstract concept, and people only knew that it was a magical thing that could cover the whole family with WIFI, full signal everywhere, and fast network at all times. How is intelligent networking realized? Many customers have little understanding of this. In the Zhangyang Road business hall, I saw that the intelligent network was displayed through AR technology, and the large screen in the display area had the room type map of the nearby community. Customers only need to click on the screen according to their own room type to see the real scene. Click on the corresponding room location to view the product information. Pick up your mobile phone and scan the QR code to achieve one-click ordering.

The intelligent networking experience area provides various room types of the surrounding main real estate, allowing users to follow the map and choose the best networking solution.

In the leisure experience area, Shanghai Telecom has created different areas according to the different age groups of users, including popular e-sports such as "VR Eating Chicken" and "QQ Speed Car", as well as VR movies, allowing users to immerse themselves in the entire virtual world.

Next to the machine that pays bills by itself, a large video game screen is placed, so that customers are no longer anxious when queuing.

In addition, in order to enhance customer stickiness, the business hall also tried the "DingTalk + Handmade Amoy" sales model. Each clerk has an exclusive QR code, and users scan the QR code through Taobao to become exclusive fans of the business hall.

?

Telecom has a large number of self-owned business halls, and will become a force to be reckoned with in the new retail field after transformation

?

Peng Hong, senior manager of China Telecom Group’s sales and channel development division, said that after the completion of the pilot of the five smart business halls at the end of this year, China Telecom will rapidly promote the construction of smart business halls in provincial capitals and important cities next year. By the end of the year, companies in all cities across the country will build at least one provincial-level benchmarking flagship store, achieving full coverage of administrative areas in cities and regions across the country. By 2020, the total number of smart business halls in the country will exceed 1,000.

?

She said that the upgraded smart business hall has three major changes, one is the restructuring of sales and service processes, intelligent customer recognition through customer portrait big data, accurate matching of customer needs and marketing strategies, and integration of exhibition and sales in the store, shortening user waiting time and improving store operation efficiency; the second is to strengthen customer interaction experience, with traditional mobile, broadband, and end point product sales, transforming into a pan-intelligent end point, and diversifying the experience of smart family life solutions; the third is to unify the standardized image layout of stores, transforming from traditional stores to experiential and technology-based stores to attract young passengers.

?

Although the transformation of China Telecom’s smart business hall is not early, it is much more specific than the other two in terms of steps. Why is this? Industry analysts believe that this is mainly because China Telecom has a huge number of its own business hall resources, far more than the other two operators, and due to historical reasons, the location is very advantageous. Therefore, the urgency of transformation is particularly urgent, and once China Telecom’s business hall forms a transformation model, in today’s high-quality physical store resources are increasingly scarce, it will become a force to be reckoned with in the new retail field.

Directed by Wang Jiawei, the new drama "Flowers" starring Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Xin Zhilei and others is currently being broadcast on Tencent Video. In order to present the drama perfectly, Wang Jiawei spent three years polishing the camera. Not only does it run through its own unique style in narrative, but it also repeatedly recalls actors who have already finished filming. To be honest, many viewers of Wang Jiawei’s TV series did not have high expectations this time. After all, the shooting process and narrative style of TV series and movies are completely different.

Moreover, compared to movies, the filming of TV series takes a long time, and it is completely too late to pick the shots one by one. The more popular directors and actors are often in a state of seamless integration, and the progress of normal filming TV series is too slow. "Flowers" is different, because it is directed by Wang Jiawei and Hu Ge is the main male lead, so the drama has attracted the attention of many industries and platforms from the beginning of filming. Wang Jiawei is also really persistent in the drama, and forcefully made the TV series into a movie.

Sure enough, this drama did not live up to the expectations of most audiences. Although Wang Jiawei’s fragmented narrative style did not meet the taste of the remote control audience, the online broadcast volume of "Flowers" was in the process of steady growth, and the popularity of Tencent in-app also exceeded the 30,000 mark. Tang Yan played Miss Wang with a full personality and a complete growth line. Xin Zhilei played Li Li, who was also bright and moving under the camera of Wang Jiawei, and there was a big gap with the previous image, stunning many viewers who came to follow the drama.

It can be said that when filming Wong Kar-wai’s plays, actors have the opportunity to leave their own life scenes and unlock another image of themselves, but this does not apply to actors in the rising stage and actors who have not yet stabilized their coffee positions. Because Wong Kar-wai’s seriousness and dedication to the play exceeds the image of all working actors, even a powerful faction like Hu Ge can’t stand Wong Kar-wai’s dedication to the play. Because in the past, movies were filmed, so actors in the TV drama circle did not have a real sense of Wong Kar-wai’s stream-of-consciousness shooting method.

For example, Liang Jiahui, he admitted in an interview that when he entered the group, the director only told him that the role he was going to play was Huang Yaoshi, and there was no script to tell him what to play and how to play it. So in the later shooting process, Liang Jiahui was in a kind of confusion about not knowing what to shoot. In addition to the stream of consciousness method of film shooting, Wong Kar-wai also has a lot of experience in fooling actors. In the early years of filming movies, Wong Kar-wai used his superior fooling skills to deceive many actors at the level of best actor.

For example, Tony Leung. Because he was a screenwriter in the early days, Wong Kar-wai wrote a high-quality suspense film script on the spot, and immediately won the actor Tony Leung. However, when he arrived at the filming location in Argentina, Leung Chaowei was told by the director that the role he was going to play was gay. The movie Leung Chaowei was fooled into making was "Spring", which was later enthusiastically sought after by most fans.

First of all, regardless of whether the behavior of fooling people is correct, the mere fact of editing a script to deceive the best actor proves that Wang Jiawei himself is a talented top PUA master. From this, it can be seen that Wang Jiawei’s personal style is quite distinct. This time, Wang Jiawei, who came to shoot a TV series, still adheres to the same set of principles of making movies. Hu Ge was driven crazy in the process of walking through the scenes again and again, and posted on social platforms: If I stop acting, will you still support me?

At that time, many netizens were wondering why Hu Ge’s mental state was so beautiful. All their questions were answered in interviews with the creators released one after another after the show was broadcast. It turned out that Hu Ge’s collapse came from Wang Jiawei’s strict requirements for actors to act. In an interview with the media, Hu Ge said: In his opinion, "Flower" is not just a crew, but more like Hengdian Film Academy. In addition, the entire filming cycle of "Flower" is very long, and the actors will experience a period of exhaustion in both physical and mental aspects.

It is precisely because the filming time of "Flowers" took a full three years, and the actors kept reworking and reshooting according to Wang Jiawei’s requirements, so Hu Ge felt physically and mentally exhausted. According to the cast member, Wang Jiawei’s understanding of the play is usually not on the same channel as the actors, so the actors can only rely on themselves to constantly grope. Before the director nods, the actors can only repeat the same scene, which is a stream of consciousness shooting method that really makes many actors collapse.

Because he had no idea what kind of effect Wong Kar-wai wanted to achieve, he could only keep repeating the same scene. Tony Leung broke the news that he ate 26 bowls of wonton noodles in a row during the filming of "In the Mood for Love". Liu Jialing also said in an interview that during the filming of "The True Story of Ah Fei", he wiped the floor 27 times in a row, and in the middle of the filming, several actors suddenly felt that they could not act. Therefore, when choosing the film and television works directed by Wong Kar-wai, actors should be more careful.

Dong Yong, a veteran artist who starred in "Flowers", also said: "I have always used the standards of old artists to demand myself, and the standard of" one pass "is the basic quality of old actors, but when it comes to Wang Jiawei, there is no" one pass "at all. Director Wang Jiawei keeps asking actors to reshoot clips that he is not satisfied with. There is even a scene that has not been filmed more than 30 times in a row. Later, the director called out and gave Dong Yong a break. Who knows that the first scene back to the crew after the holiday is still the last one.

From this, it can be seen that Wong Kar-wai has a strong sense of responsibility for the film and television works he directs. The truest reaction of actors nowadays is the state he pursues in the film venue. It is precisely because of this that Wong Kar-wai will hand over so many film and television works that satisfy fans. Although Wong Kar-wai has extremely high requirements for every frame of "Flower", it is precisely because of this rare persistence and dedication to the work that "Flower" will be so precious in the era of frequent bad movies.

It can be said that Flower, whether it is the texture of the picture or the design of light and shadow, is completely unlike a TV drama, and it can be said that it is a perfect work of art. In addition to the great shock of the picture to the audience, the three actresses of the play have also reached a new height of beauty, and even left their own life scenes. Tang Yan has successfully transformed with the play, and her acting has been recognized by the audience. Her image has subverted the inherent dress of silly and sweet in the past, and her portrayal of Miss Wang’s role has been affirmed by many audiences.

Although Tang Yan gave up many film and television invitations in the early stage because of the filming of "Flowers", it was not a loss, at least because she successfully got rid of the label of the idol school in this drama, and the resource rating will definitely be higher in the future. Xin Zhilei also attracted much attention because of her role as the bright and moving Li Li in the drama, and the follow-up bonus should not be underestimated.

　　CCTV NewsAt 15:22 this afternoon, our country successfully launched the 52nd and 53rd Beidou navigation satellites with the Long March 3B rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, which is also the last two satellites of the Beidou system deployed in the medium circular orbit.

　　Satellites in mid-circle orbit can travel the world, so they are the key to the global network of Beidou satellite navigation system. Whether it is GPS or other existing global satellite navigation systems, a large number of satellites need to be deployed in this orbit. After the launch, all 24 satellites planned by Beidou satellite navigation system in this orbit have been in place, and the deployment of the core constellation of the global system has been officially completed.

　　Beidou has actually quietly entered your life

　　Video: Why do you say "China’s Beidou, the world’s Beidou"?

　　Perhaps many people will ask, Beidou has launched so many satellites, when will we be able to use them? Or how can we use them?

　　There is already "Big Dipper" above your head.

　　In fact, Beidou has already quietly entered our lives. Now when you turn on your mobile phone or navigator to use navigation services, you are not just receiving GPS satellite signals, but the fusion signal of Beidou, GPS, Glonass and other satellite positioning systems. They can complement each other. For example, in the case of high-rise buildings in the city, the GPS signal in some directions will be blocked, so you can directly receive the signal of Beidou to locate.

　　What is the use of Beidou’s unique communication capabilities?

　　Unlike other systems, we can not only know where we are through Beidou, but also tell others where we are through Beidou. This is the unique communication capability that distinguishes Beidou from any other system.

　　Many people may think that we can communicate so conveniently now, so why use Beidou?

　　Because at sea, in many deep mountains and forests without ground communication facilities, communication can only be done by satellite signals. Therefore, whether it is sea rescue or meeting for "jungle exploration", Beidou is an excellent choice. Not only is it global coverage, but it is also very cheap.

　　Of course, this function requires the use of a specific "Beidou" mobile phone!

　　Official certification! World-class navigation and positioning service capabilities

　　Video: Understand the working principle of Beidou navigation with high school knowledge

　　Wang Ping, chief designer of the Beidou-3 satellite, introduced to reporters.At present, the basic system of our Beidou-3 has been evaluated all over the world. The evaluation results show that Beidou’s signal quality, signal ranging accuracy, navigation, positioning and timing accuracy are on par with the US GPS.The completion of all the medium-circle orbit network satellites will enable our Beidou satellite navigation system to achieve world-class service capabilities.

　　China speed! Beidou breaks the world record for global networking

　　Since November 2017, our country has organized 18 Beidou launch missions in 25 months and launched a total of 30 Beidou satellites, breaking the world record for the networking speed of global satellite navigation systems at an average rate of 1.2 satellites per month.

　　Among them, we have to mention the "Beidou special train" – the Changsanjia series of carrier rockets that transported Beidou 38 times.

　　Since the launch of the first Beidou-2 navigation test satellite in 2007, in the past 12 years, the Changsanjia series of rockets have sent 53 Beidou navigation satellites into the predetermined orbit with 38 successful and perfect performances. If the Beidou navigation test satellites launched earlier are included, the Changsanjia series of rockets have escorted 57 Beidou satellites into orbit with a 100% success rate of 42 launches.

　　From Beidou-1 to Beidou-3, from several launches a year to more than a dozen launches a year, the Long March-3A development team has been constantly exploring on the road of innovation. They set a precedent for our country’s "one arrow and two stars" to launch high-orbit satellites, further accelerated the deployment of Beidou satellites, greatly shortened the construction progress of Beidou engineering and greatly reduced the construction cost.

The popularity of the new M7 continues, and a tit-for-tat new energy luxury SUV "price war" has officially started.

On October 15, AITO asked the world to announce that the new M7 listed on the market in the first month of the big order has exceeded 60,000 orders. At present, the Sailis factory has added production shifts, 22 hours of continuous production every day and opened the double shift operation mechanism. In the live broadcast of the factory, Yu Chengdong, chairperson of Huawei Intelligent Vehicle Solutions, bluntly said that in order to improve the production and supply speed of the new M7 in the world, the entire industrial chain and supply chain have increased more than 20,000 workers, and at the same time increased capital investment over 1 billion yuan.

Recently, the Financial Union reporters have repeatedly explored the end point market of automobiles. Even at noon on working days, consumers who go to Huawei stores to see cars and consult are still in constant flow. In terms of policy, after the 33,000 yuan purchase rights and interests of the first sales period, the second round of car purchase rights and interests of the new M7 is worth 30,000 yuan. The deadline for activities is October 31.

The continued sale of the new M7 has directly stimulated the end point policy of competing models such as Krypton 001 and Ideal L7.

The day after the announcement of the report card of "60,000 vehicles in a single month", Extreme Krypton announced that all its models will open the rights and interests of limited-time car purchase, limited-time purchase and replacement. Among them, Extreme Krypton 001 can enjoy a maximum of 80,000 yuan after a number of rights and interests are superimposed. The activity period is from 9:00 on October 16 to 24:00 on December 31.

Compared to JK 001, the competition between the ideal L7 and the new M7 is intensifying. Not long ago, the two brands launched a "air-to-air confrontation", and End Point even spread the rumor of "re-purchase between the new M7 and the ideal L7, and the transaction can reimburse the other party’s deposit". "Our store does not have this [reimbursement deposit] policy, but the current activities of L7 and L8 are very rare, you can directly discount 31,000 yuan, and give gifts such as 20,000 points and foot mats." An ideal store salesperson told reporters.

Earlier this month, Tesla China announced that the price of the Model Y would remain unchanged while adding multi-colored ambient lights, upgraded dashboard trim, upgraded 19-inch wheels and improved acceleration performance. Such a policy is also seen by the industry as a "disguised price reduction" in a highly competitive environment.

From the perspective of market segmentation, the mid-sized/medium-sized SUV market in which Tesla Model Y, Wenjiexin M7, Ideal L7 and other models are located continues to heat up, and the competition is quite fierce. According to the data of the Passenger Federation, in September, although Tesla Model Y fell by 18% month-on-month, it was still far ahead with 53,200 vehicles. There are 7 models that sold more than 10,000 vehicles, namely Audi Q5, BMW X3, Ideal L7, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Hongqi HS5, Ideal L8 and BYD Tang. Among them, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Hongqi HS5 and BYD Tang showed a month-on-month decline, and Ideal L7 and Ideal L8 were basically flat compared with the same period in August.

The white-hot competition of new energy luxury SUVs is just a microcosm of the "Silver Ten" car market. According to incomplete statistics from the Financial Union reporters, more than a dozen car brands, including BYD, NIO, Xiaopeng, Zero Run, Volkswagen, and Buick, have recently launched different preferential policies to take over the "Golden Nine". Under the rare "peak season", the "price war" whose cycle has been extended is still ongoing.

"Because dealers increased the number of cars picked up in September, the end point prices in September and October continue to drop." Lang Xuehong, deputy secretary-general of the China Automobile Dealers Association, believes that under the background of the superposition of various factors, this year’s "Silver Ten" car market will not only be in good condition, but also the actual performance is expected to exceed "Golden Nine". "We believe that the quality of’Gold Nine Silver Ten ‘will be basically the same, and there may even be a situation of’Silver Nine Gold Ten’."

"The lawyer’s letter is true," Chang’an Automobile told Red Star Capital Bureau. "We believe that the relevant content of Geely Galaxy’s new energy strategy release is suspected of infringing the intellectual property rights of Chang’an Automobile, so the company sent the lawyer’s letter to the other party."

Some netizens posted pictures comparing the appearance of Geely’s "Galaxy Light" with Changan VISION-V and UNI-V models.
