  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 19 (Reporter Leon) The cold wave struck, and the somatosensory temperature in Beijing has dropped below minus 10 degrees Celsius, but it can’t stop people from watching movies at the end of the year. In the Capital Cinema, which is located in Xidan business district in the city center, the prime-time sales of popular New Year movies are tight.

  According to the data of Cat’s Eye, the box office revenue of China in 2023 was 52.9 billion yuan as of December 18th. The annual box office jumped from about 30 billion yuan last year to more than 50 billion yuan this year, setting a new box office record since 2020, indicating that the film industry in China is accelerating its recovery.

  At present, the top ten in the annual box office list are all domestic films. The box office data released by the film data platform since 2011 shows that domestic films have won the top ten annual box office only once before in 2020. Analysts pointed out that behind the growing popularity of domestic films is the overall progress of China films — — Domestic films are more and more close to the aesthetic needs of the audience.

  In 2023, China’s box office revenue exceeded 50 billion yuan on November 13th. Industry insiders predict that the annual box office revenue will eventually reach around 55 billion yuan. Although it is lower than the historical highs of more than 60 billion yuan in 2019 and 2018, it is equivalent to the level in 2017 and will be the fourth or third highest annual box office in China film history.

  "This shows that the film market has generally recovered, and both the film supply side and the audience demand side are gradually returning to the pre-epidemic level." Liu Peng, president of Cat’s Eye Research Institute, a box office data analysis agency, told Xinhua News Agency.

  Looking back on the whole year, the Spring Festival in 2023 performed well, with the box office exceeding 6.7 billion yuan, making it the second highest box office in China film history, only lower than that in 2021. The summer file is particularly eye-catching, with the box office reaching 20.6 billion yuan, creating the first record of China’s summer file box office breaking through the 20 billion mark. The National Day box office was 2.7 billion yuan, although it was inferior to the 4 billion yuan in the National Day file for three consecutive years from 2019 to 2021, but it was higher than the 1.5 billion yuan in 2022.


In 2023, China's film industry accelerated its recovery, and the top ten at the box office were all domestic films.

  The types of films are rich and the themes are diverse. Among them, "Man Jiang Hong" and "Wandering Earth 2" aroused the feelings of home and country; The realistic movies "Put all your eggs in one basket", "She Disappeared", "In an octagonal cage" and "Rock-solid" are highly topical and close to life. Feng Shen Part I is praised as a masterpiece of China people’s own epic myth, while Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an tells a new antique story from a unique perspective.

  "On the whole, China films adhere to the realistic line, absorb the tradition of legendary narration of China films, communicate and interact with the mainstream audience more closely, and constantly improve the industrialization of films, which has contributed to the overall progress and development of China films." Rao Shuguang, president of China Film Criticism Society, believes that film consumption in China is showing a good trend of recovery growth.

  As of December 16th, the data of Lighthouse Professional Edition, a movie data platform, shows that 83% of the box office in China in 2023 was contributed by domestic movies, and the top ten in the box office list were all domestic movies. The Hollywood film Fast and Furious 10 ranks 12th with a box office income of 980 million yuan, which is the highest ranked foreign film.

  According to industry observers, the attraction of Hollywood movies to China movie audiences is weakening, corresponding to the increasing attention of domestic movies.

  "Hollywood mainly relies on Marvel Comics films and series of films. Although these films present powerful audio-visual wonders, they have also caused aesthetic fatigue to China audiences over time." Rao Shuguang analyzed, "At the same time, American movies lack internal connection with China people’s lives, and it is difficult to cause empathy."

  Liu Peng believes that Hollywood films are good at industrialization and visual effects, while domestic visual effects blockbusters have become common in recent years. "If Hollywood films don’t have strong word-of-mouth support, rich and diverse domestic films are a natural choice for audiences".

In 2022, the total box office of China movies exceeded 30 billion, and the new film "Unknown" was set.


Special feature of 1905 film network Comedy movies starring directors, screenwriters, writers, etc. recently announced that they will be scheduled for the first day of the New Year in 2023 and enter the "Spring Festival file".


This is also the re-cooperation between director Su Lun and Lei Jiayin, and Zhang Xiaofei returns to the Spring Festival archives again after the excellent works of the Spring Festival archives, and often switches seamlessly between "Goddess" and "Female Nerve", full of joy.


The film tells the story of Lei Jiayin and Zhang Xiaofei’s unexpected exchange of bodies and family members with a crush on Zhang Xiaofei after their blind date, which led to a strange "exchange" journey with laughter and tears.


There are five differences in the following two posters about this film. How many did you find in the message area?

Prospect of football: West Ham can’t resist Arsenal, Liverpool is not afraid of visiting, Manchester United VS Newcastle.

West Ham United VS Arsenal

After West Ham lost to Everton at home last season, the league suffered two consecutive defeats. The team’s recent performance is really not safe, and it is still difficult to resist when facing the league’s strong teams. At present, it ranks 9 th in the league. West Ham United’s offensive output is acceptable, but the stability of the team’s defense is still insufficient. After Arsenal’s victory over Sheffield United, the league remained unbeaten, and the team is currently ranked second in the league. Arsenal’s offensive output is very strong, and the stability of the defense line is also worthy of praise. Recently, it has been able to score zero opponents in many games.

West Ham United’s overall strength is relatively limited, the team’s recent stability is not high, and the main battle performance is not safe. The Arsenal League has guaranteed unbeaten record so far, and the team’s historical achievements have crushed opponents, so the psychological advantage is very obvious. This time, the team is a guest to challenge their opponents, and I believe that they still have the ability to win from the away game.

Everton VS Burnley

Everton beat West Ham United in the last league. The team’s recent achievements are relatively erratic, showing a plum blossom pile, but its winning ability has indeed improved, and it is currently ranked 15th in the league. Everton’s offensive and defensive ends have also improved to some extent recently. Burnley lost to Bournemouth in the last league, and the league suffered another three-game losing streak. So far, the team has only won one victory, ranking only 19th in the league. Burnley’s offensive output is relatively weak, and the defensive end can be said to be full of loopholes.

Everton’s recent performance is indeed unstable, and the team has no strength against the strong teams, but its winning ability has indeed improved in the face of the weak teams in the league recently. The performance of Burnley, the opponent, continued to be sluggish, and recently suffered a three-game losing streak. This time, Everton is sitting at home to meet the challenge of the weak team, and I believe that I still have the ability to successfully win the opponent at home.

Bournemouth VS Liverpool

Bournemouth defeated Burnley at home in the last league, and finally won the first victory in the league. However, the opponent is really a weak team, and the gold content is really not high. At present, it still ranks 17th in the league. Bournemouth’s front line output is insufficient, and the loopholes at the defense end are not small. Liverpool beat Nottingham Forest at home last season, and the league won two consecutive victories and three unbeaten games. The overall performance of the team has once again strengthened, and it is currently ranked fourth in the league. Liverpool’s offensive output is stable and the defense strength is constantly strengthening.

Bournemouth’s overall strength is very limited, the ability to fight hard is also insufficient, and there is no advantage at home. After all, Liverpool, the rival team, has recently returned to the right track after losing the game unexpectedly, and the stability of both offensive and defensive ends is constantly improving. In addition, Liverpool’s historical achievements have crushed their opponents, and even if they are a guest, they are not afraid.

Manchester United VS Newcastle United

Manchester United lost to the opponent in the last Manchester derby, and was hit by the strong team after winning two consecutive victories. However, the team has won several victories in the near future, and its overall performance has improved. At present, it ranks eighth in the league. Manchester United’s offensive and defensive stability needs to be strengthened. Newcastle United drew away with Wolves in the last league, and the league remained unbeaten in six rounds, but the winning ability was still insufficient, and it is currently ranked sixth in the league. Newcastle United’s offensive output is strong, but the defensive end often has problems.

Manchester United’s domestic and foreign troubles are serious, and the recent achievements and performance of the team are indeed not stable enough. However, as for Chi Hah, he still needs to strive for victory in every game to stabilize the morale of the army. Newcastle United’s overall performance has been stable recently, but its winning ability has indeed declined. In addition, the team’s winning ability in guest games is indeed insufficient. This time, the Red Devils welcomed their opponents at home, and I believe there is still a chance to successfully win their opponents.

Chelsea VS Blackburn

Chelsea lost to brentford at home last season, and the unbeaten game in three rounds of the league ended. Losing the game is really unacceptable, and it is only ranked 11th in the league at present. Chelsea’s offensive output suffered another zero, and the defensive end of the last two league games also lost 2 goals per game. Blackburn lost to Swansea at home in the last league, and its three-game winning streak ended. It is rare for the team to win a winning streak in the near future, and the last game was also ended by opponents. At present, it ranks 12 th in the British Championship. Blackburn’s offensive output is also not stable enough, but fortunately the defense strength has improved recently.

Chelsea’s defeat on the road to the Northern Expedition was indeed a blow to morale, but this time the team ushered in a lower-level league opponent, which was also a rare opportunity for the team to snatch victory and revive morale. Opponent Blackburn rarely won a winning streak recently, but the stability is still insufficient. The last game was terminated by the opponent, and the efficiency of the team’s offensive end really needs to be strengthened. This time, Chelsea played at home to meet the challenge of Championship team Blackburn Rovers. I believe it is not too difficult to win the opponent.

Dortmund VS Hoffenheim

The recent performances of both sides are relatively stable, but Dortmund’s achievements in the past battles have crushed opponents, and their psychological advantages are very obvious. This time, I took a strong home game against my opponent, and I believe I still have the ability to continue my outstanding achievements.

Frejborg VS paderborn

Although Frejborg’s performance is erratic, he has a strong ability to score points in the main battle. Paderborn, the opponent, is a team in the middle reaches of German B, and its overall strength is relatively limited. I’m afraid it’s very difficult to be a guest and challenge Frejborg.

Hertha Berlin VS Mainz

Hertha Berlin’s current situation is erratic, but it is good to win more and lose less, and at the same time, the main battle ability is not weak. Although the opponent Mainz is a high-level league team, the team’s performance so far has not been satisfactory. This time the two sides met, Hertha Berlin still had a chance to defend the unbeaten home.

Udinese VS Cagliari

Udinese’s winning ability is limited, but his recent performance is fairly safe. Although the opponent Cagliari won the first victory in the league in the last campaign, the overall stability is still insufficient, and at the same time, the ability to fight is not good. This time, Udinese is at home, and I believe he still has a certain advantage.

Original content, those who carry it without authorization will be investigated! # How to exercise at home #

Fitness is a thing that needs persistence to achieve something. The longer you persist in fitness, the more you will gain.

If you can arrange an hour of exercise every day, you can improve your active metabolism, promote the decline of body fat rate, strengthen your heart and lung function and slow down the aging of your body. Doing more strength training in fitness can prevent muscle loss, improve your basal metabolic value, and make your body shape better after losing weight.

Then, how can people who don’t have time to go out to exercise arrange exercise at home? I suggest you start exercising from these movements:

Action 1, opening and closing jump

A warm-up action, which is also recognized as fat burning action, can help you quickly raise your heart rate, let your body enter a state of fat burning, activate your body muscles and avoid muscle loss. Each time for 30 seconds, repeat 4 groups.

Action 3, push-ups

Push-ups can exercise upper limb muscles, improve upper limb lines and strength, and make you look better in clothes. Push-ups are performed in 4-5 groups at a time, with 15-20 in each group. Those who cannot complete multiple push-ups at one time can start with kneeling push-ups and upward inclined push-ups.

Action 4, squat

Squat can exercise hip and leg muscles, improve hip line, and shape long legs with full hips and tight heels. Beginners start with freehand squats, and then carry out weight-bearing squats or squat jumps after a foundation, with 5 groups of 15 in each group.

Action 5, lunge squat

Squat lunge is also an effective action to exercise the muscles of lower limbs, which can improve the hip and leg lines and improve the stability of lower limbs at the same time. Do it 10 times left and right, and repeat 5 groups.

Action 6, the goat stands up

This action can exercise core muscles, improve core strength, make you less injured during exercise, and also improve the problem of backache caused by sedentary. The action is carried out 15 times and repeated in 4 groups.

Rapid recovery of tourism "new play" to incite new tourism market

"Standing at the intersection of the new free travel in golden decade, whoever can accurately understand the needs of users and provide personalized gameplay products will take the lead in the next era of tourism industry development." Chen Gang, founder and CEO of Ma Honeycomb, said at the "2023 Earth Discoverer Conference".

On December 8th, at the "Earth Discoverer Conference" hosted by Ma Honeycomb, the joint laboratory of free travel big data jointly established by china tourism academy and Ma Honeycomb released "Research Report 2023" (A Collection of Global Travel Plays), which provided a new reference example for the industry. It is reported that "Gameplay 2023" has strictly selected tens of thousands of gameplays from 130 countries around the world, and finally compiled two lists of "Top 100 New Gameplays for Domestic Tourism" and "Top 100 New Gameplays for Foreign Tourism" to recommend more unique travel experiences for travelers and guide industry partners to create more attractive tourism products.

Dai Bin, president of china tourism academy, said, "After three years of deep depression, tourism has entered a period of rapid recovery. It is expected that the recovery of the domestic tourism market will reach more than 90% in 2019 this year, which is very remarkable. Seeing the smile on the tourists’ faces is also my happiest thing. But what makes me happier is to see that the tourists like Ma Honeycomb still keep a young heart to explore and innovate after going through hardships. They deeply observe the needs of tourists and sum up a number of keywords such as personalization, theme, experience and quality. These detailed needs are the cornerstones of today’s tourism’ new gameplay’. "

(Left: Dai Bin, Dean of china tourism academy; Right: Chen Gang, founder and CEO of Ma Honeycomb)

2023 is a year of rapid recovery of tourism industry, and new tourism behavior preferences are gradually becoming clear. According to Chen Gang, in 2023, the proportion of users who searched for intentional destination gameplay exceeded 76%, and the popularity of customized tour search increased by 245% year-on-year. The popularity of high-quality demand continued to rise, and the booking of cost-effective products also increased significantly. This means that the Local travel experience has become the main factor affecting people’s consumption decisions.

"We can’t simply understand’ travel experience’ as eating better and having more fun. For young people today, any idea that can strengthen their self-expression is a plus item of travel experience, and we collectively call it’ new gameplay’". Chen Gang said, "We have specially refined the content of’ new gameplay’ based on the core contents such as Polaris Raiders and Raiders Group. Every destination has a raiders expert from Mawei to sort out a detailed new gameplay map and update it in real time according to the changes of the trend. At present, Ma Honeycomb has matched the corresponding services and products for the gameplay map through a brand-new supply chain, forming a one-stop travel service closed loop of "planting and pulling together" to help consumers realize the ultimate experience of what you see is what you get. "

The Ma Honeycomb community is also fully upgraded around the "new gameplay". In Ni Jia’s view, in the face of the brand-new personalized tourism demand, the best response formula is to provide different new gameplay exchange positions for different segments of the population. "For example, for the Z-generation’ new youth’ who is looking forward to socializing and advocating freedom, Ma Honeycomb not only launched a large number of new city weekends, but also provided opportunities to find travel partners; Facing the’ new middle-class families’ who prefer light and luxurious gameplay and pay attention to emotional value, they provide a series of new and subdivided gameplay including long-distance travel and parent-child travel; For’ senior travelers’ who pay attention to in-depth experience and humanistic value, Ma Honeycomb continues to deepen the content of outbound travel, design various novel experience routes abroad, and launch activities to send them back to a new world. " Ni Jia said that the new gameplay community ecology based on different people and different circles will better meet the personalized travel needs.

At the same time, "new gameplay" has also become a favorable starting point for marketing. Liu Tingting, head of commercial marketing of Mawei, said that the core of Mawei’s marketing is to help destinations and brands find the right people, do the right content and then spread it to more right people. "The community and the strategy group upgraded this year are the first steps for Mawei to find accurate marketing people. The so-called’ right content’ is to explore and even create the destination experience under the drive of new gameplay, and thus create new theme products, trigger IP linkage, let users see, buy, feel, and then spread to more people. " According to reports, Ma Honeycomb has created a brand-new gameplay experience for many destinations at home and abroad in 2023, and promoted it through various channels and forms. "The new gameplay is like a key to open the door to new tourism marketing, which will rejuvenate traditional destinations, take mature destinations to a new level, and let brands find new scenes of tourism marketing. We are also looking forward to working with more destinations and brands to open up the infinite possibilities of’ new gameplay’." (Reporter Zhan Zhao)

What is "culture"

In an era, it not only updated our understanding of culture, but also refreshed our ideas again.

Just as knowledge is not equal to culture, it subverts our rational knowledge and perceptual habits all the time.

In fact, in our thinking logic, people often regard culture as the code of conduct of civilization.

For example, benevolence, courtesy, wisdom and trust, gentleness, courtesy and frugality are all concrete manifestations of behavior culture.

Therefore, when a person walks under a tree or an obstacle below his height, there is no doubt that he will bend down.

It should be said that few people even think about how to change it. This is a kind of culture.

Especially when the elevator door is opened, some people stand aside and wait for others to get off the elevator, and some people are eager to squeeze in.

These actions are the intersection of behavior and culture, and have nothing to do with education and knowledge. This is also a kind of culture.

[1] What is culture

Now that we have talked about "culture", how should we understand and recognize these two words? Of course, in other words: "What is" culture "?

Generally speaking, what we call "culture" in a broad sense refers to the sum of all material products and spiritual products created by human beings.

In a narrow sense, it refers to spiritual products including language, literature, art and all ideologies.

Here, we emphasize that as a kind of "culture", it must have six characteristics:

(1) universality. The universality of culture is manifested in the common cultural forms in social practice activities, even though different national consciousness and behavior are manifested, they have the same forms of expression.

(2) Diversity. Under different natural, historical and social conditions, different cultural types and cultural models have been formed, which makes the world culture present the characteristics of diversity as a whole.

(3) nationality. The traditional culture rooted in the nation is complementary to the development of the nation. So different nationalities have different national cultures.

(4) Inheritance. The inheritance of culture is the basis of carrying forward and developing culture. If there is no inheritance, of course, there will be no culture.

(5) Developmental. The essence of a national culture lies in its continuous development and change. A series of cultural products, including today’s automation and informatization, are the results of cultural development.

(6) the times. In the historical process of human development, each era has its own typical cultural type.

[2] Cultural background

I remember that Mr. Li Yanjie, the former professor of Beijing Normal University and vice president of the World Association for the Promotion of Chinese Education, once gave an open class entitled "Virtue, knowledge, talent, truth, goodness and beauty" at the lecture tour in Peking University.

He said; What is culture? The sum of truth, goodness and beauty is culture.

It can be seen that what we call "culture" is the product of all-round, multi-level and three-dimensional intersection of fields.

It not only covers a person’s cultivation, temper and disposition, but also includes family environment, living space, and even genetics and so on.

My neighbor, Aunt Song, once said, "Without culture, you are illiterate.". This statement is very incisive and hits the nail on the head.

You can imagine, living in the present, if you don’t even know a big word, this is not a scene, and it has nothing to do with the bridge, but it is incredible.

[3] It’s terrible to have no culture

Once upon a time, there was a saying circulating in the society: "It’s terrible to be uneducated", although it was just a network language. But it is a culture in itself.

Do you know that the cultural content contained in this sentence is far and near, false and real, true and false?

Perhaps, it may be trying to explain a thing or an action. But I hope it’s just a humorous remark with no practical significance.

What are the growth opportunities for beauty this year?

"Fight the first battle"

editorial comment/noteA year’s plan lies in spring, and the industry changes and waits for no one. What new trends will emerge in the industry in 2023? Where is the new growth point of the market? Based on the upcoming 6th China Cosmetics Trend Conference on February 13th, Qingyan interviewed the founders and professionals of 30+ well-known companies at home and abroad, and helped the cosmetics industry get off to a good start with fresh views.

(in alphabetical order)


A Yan, general manager of Tmall beauty, perfume and fragrance and men’s care industry
"Brand Power"+"Goods Power" Two-wheel Drive Growth

In the future, the beauty market will show the following seven main trends: 1. In 2023, the beauty industry will show a good trend of "suppressing first and then promoting". For beauty brands, follow the general trend in the rhythm of pushing new products, and at the same time expand category richness and maximize demand creation. 2. Continue to deeply embrace the Internet and release the crowd penetration bonus. 3. The constituent party population will continue to grow, consumers will pay more and more attention to efficiency, and brands must grow through the two-wheel drive of "brand power" and "goods power". 4. Brands need to provide consumers with more emotional value through marketing, such as cultural traceability, national feelings, female power, sexism, olfactory economy, face value economy and so on. 5. The comprehensive strength of domestic cosmetics will be advanced, and domestic brands can seize this opportunity to continuously expand their own matrix. 6. In the new year, more brands will focus on improving their R&D strength and creating more patents and exclusive ingredients. 7. Policies will promote the optimization of industrial structure, force the industry to upgrade, promote the beauty industry to become bigger and stronger, and achieve healthy, orderly and high-quality development.
Rational skin care promoter bing Han

Oligopolization will continue.
Under the pressure of new regulations, enterprises are in a hurry, helpless under the influence of epidemic situation, fearful under weak consumption, the disappearance of small and medium-sized enterprises and the formation of oligopoly trend.

In the new year, oligarchy continues, small and medium-sized brands continue to be difficult, and the cosmetics industry is increasingly out of touch with ordinary people.

In the future, new brands will either have new ingredients or be rich, but in any case, they must have their own technology and characteristics, otherwise there will be no chance even if they are rich.

Speculation will be shuffled.


There are two kinds of innovations in the industry: minimally invasive products and great brand innovations. Micro-innovation needs to be done all the time, and it is the daily work of the brand to continuously optimize products and services according to the feedback from the market and consumers. Brand innovation takes time, such as developing new raw materials and applying for patents with high gold content, which takes at least two or three years to settle, and it is difficult to achieve it in a short time.

In addition, affected by the uncertainty inside and outside the industry, the industry flow dividend and capital dividend will gradually decrease, and the industry will return to stability and be less impetuous. Brands that do things will be more determined to do things, and speculative behavior will be shuffled.

Chen Shaojun, Chairman of China Fragrance, Flavor and Cosmetic Industry Association

Seize the opportunity of the industry from quantitative change to qualitative change

After decades of rapid development, the current industry R&D and sales have encountered bottlenecks. In terms of research and development, there is an opportunity to break through the stock through the integration of various cutting-edge sciences, but there has not been a substantial breakthrough. In terms of sales, Internet dividends, like traditional sales models, are basically stock consumption, and new breakthroughs are expected.

In addition, the industry should pay attention to cross-border cooperation, such as deep integration with beauty salons in products and sales models, and expand the space for flexible production; Attention should be paid to cutting-edge, and the ideas of these enterprises often give new inspiration to the industry.

In short, I hope that the industry will seize the opportunity from quantitative change to qualitative change based on R&D, efficiency as a breakthrough, science and technology as a guide, internal strength as a cornerstone, comprehensive innovation as a purpose and head enterprises as a benchmark.

Synthetic biology will further open up the application space

At present, raw material innovation is the biggest pain point in the beauty industry. Taking domestic cosmetic raw materials as an example, it has long been dependent on imports, and its independent research and development ability is insufficient, and raw materials are precisely the focus that determines the efficacy of products and consumers’ attention. To do a good job in products, we must first do a good job in science and technology. Many domestic beauty brands are increasing their investment in basic scientific research, and upstream raw material enterprises, especially synthetic biology enterprises, are widely favored by capital and market.

Synthetic biology technology can realize the iteration of raw material production mode, improve safety, stability and biological activity, especially customize this kind of substance according to specific requirements, which can meet different skin needs and achieve accurate goals; Solve the pain points and shortcomings of many classic raw materials, and further open up the application space; Synthetic biology, as a low-carbon, green and environmentally-friendly cutting-edge production method, can effectively reduce the carbon emissions of cosmetics enterprises and achieve the national carbon-neutral development goal, which is also an inevitable choice for the new trend of Clean Beauty cosmetics.


Ding Wenfeng, founder of Shenzhen Weiqi Pharmaceutical R&D Co., Ltd.

The beauty market will continue to "look east"

China’s beauty market will continue to "look eastward", and the market focus will further shift from Guangzhou in South China to Shanghai, Hangzhou and other East China cities; In addition, many domestic counterparts are actively deploying overseas markets. For example, Vicky Technology has set up offices in the United States and France. From the category point of view, there have always been opportunities in the beauty industry, such as whitening, hair loss prevention, mosquito repellent and other market segments, and there are still many opportunities to be explored.


Innovation is bound to be the main theme. I believe that in the future, more and more new raw materials will be successfully declared in the national catalogue and become an important value in products. But good products are not only the accumulation of raw materials, but also require brands to have a deeper understanding of their own products, channels and consumers. Vicky is willing to continue in-depth study in this area, enhance her understanding of the beauty market, and share resources with the whole industry.

Fan Jun, President of China Department Store Business Association

The advantages of leading enterprises will be more obvious.


The trend of the beauty market may change: First, the advantages of leading companies are more obvious, and the group market share of cosmetics is relatively concentrated. Second, explosive information infusion and frequent marketing events have contributed to the "explosive product strategy" of the industry. Third, the number of entrants has increased and brand competition has intensified. Fourth, the rise of the national tide continues to occupy an increasingly important position.

In terms of categories, high-end functional skin care products, personalized makeup, combination suits and lipsticks will continue to show hot spots and maintain growth.


Fan Wenhua, founder and chairman of Fan Wenhua facial care chain

Online and offline must work together and be strong.


In the future, the beauty market in China will show the following trends: First, the regulation and supervision will continue to be strengthened, which will promote the development of the industry to be healthier, and at the same time, it will continue to speed up the reshuffle of the industry.

Second, for consumers, the fragmented consumption environment needs a fragmented service model. It is difficult to solve customers’ skin care pain points and needs simply by offline store experience or only by online channel sales of skin care products. Therefore, online and offline work together to meet users’ needs and make enterprises have a virtuous circle effect.

Third, technological empowerment will be further enhanced. Users will make their first choice because of "brand", but it must be "efficacy and experience" that can keep customers choosing. Therefore, we see that more and more brands begin to attach importance to research and development, and begin to analyze users’ skin problems and needs with various high-tech applications such as AR and artificial intelligence, so as to give users better solutions and experiences.


Fu Yanhong, Business Director of DSM Personal Care and Fragrance Materials in Greater China

Pure beauty is a reflection of sustainable response.


In the communication with upstream and downstream enterprises, we are glad to see that more and more brands or consumers are beginning to respond to sustainability. In fact, the popular "pure beauty" in the industry is also a reflection of sustainable response. In this regard, DSM has also been updating its product line. At present, we have updated a number of products to the Clean Beauty version, which can respond to consumers’ demands for environmental protection.

In order to maximize the positive impact, we strive to instill sustainability strategies in every stage and every field of operation. In order to promote this process, we have introduced the principles of sustainable procurement and sustainable innovation, hoping to implant the concept of sustainability at the start-up stage. At the same time, we also hope to encourage more enterprises to join the ranks of sustainability, penetrate the concept of sustainability into all aspects of business, emphasize the value of sustainability, and help our brands better serve end consumers.

Fang Xiangming, CEO of Shanghai Quanli Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

It will develop better to be specialized and strong.

In 2023, which is full of uncertainty, a big factory that does everything by itself may not be the only way to develop, but a business model that is specialized and strong and can produce flexibly will be better.

Copy a little of any new market ideas, and if you don’t continue to strengthen your core technology, it will only be consumed in the domestic market in the end. For example, some domestic manufacturers can synthesize boson, which is really powerful, but if their eyes are enlarged to the international level, can’t India synthesize it? Other people’s markets may not be smaller than ours, the cost of enterprises may not be higher than ours, and others may not be playing against the United States …

Personally, I still feel that we should take inspiration from what we are good at and inherit from China to continuously strengthen the enterprise foundation and encourage domestic counterparts to cooperate. A lot of repeated investment (especially capital and equipment) is unnecessary or even harmful for at least two years.

Fan Yuan, Vice President of Huaxi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Innovation in research and development of new raw materials is the key

In the future, China’s skin care market will still take "scientific and technological innovation" as the primary condition, accurate and safe skin care efficacy as the necessary condition, take research and development as the main orientation, and take the iterative upgrade of big star products as the product operation strategy to build market competitiveness and enhance brand competitiveness and consumer cognition.

Consumers’ acceptance of domestic products will be higher and higher, especially functional skin care products, and the innovation of new raw materials is the key. Consumers of beauty cosmetics and skin care in China are smart consumers, and the efficacy and safety of cosmetic raw materials are the primary factors in their choice. The classified management of new cosmetic raw materials by market supervision will further stimulate the enthusiasm of enterprises for R&D and innovation.

Huaxi Bio-raw materials started from scratch, and took the lead in arranging synthetic organisms. Two research platforms and six technical platforms built a sustainable innovation R&D system of Huaxi Bio, which ensured more development space for the follow-up innovation of skin care-grade raw materials of Huaxi Bio.

Gong Tiangui, founder and &CEO of Huaxikou

"Sustainable pure beauty" will become the main theme in the future.


Increasingly rational consumers have regarded efficacy as a hard indicator of payment, and with the increasing supervision, the beauty market has entered a new stage of success or failure based on "product efficacy".

"Sustainable and pure beauty" will become the main theme in the future. In 2023-2024, the innovative direction of skin care in the global market ranked green, pure and natural, while the domestic "double-carbon" strategy was launched, and the trend of "pure and sustainable" became more concrete. Besides paying attention to efficacy, the brand’s performance in ingredient safety, environmental protection packaging materials and corporate responsibility was becoming one of the important indicators for consumers to choose, and it was also a key link to enhance brand and product loyalty. The prosperity of pure beauty just confirms the signs of "sustainable" development.

Huang Xiaodong, Chairman of Mofa Shijia

Functional skin care is just needed.


With the increase of problem skin, and the expansion of the team of component party and efficacy party, functional skin care has become just needed. Correspondingly, consumers have higher requirements for product efficacy, safety and quality. At the same time, based on the continuous updating of user needs, category development tends to be subdivided, younger and diversified. In the overall stable development of the beauty market, product efficacy and brand protection are important considerations for beauty and skin care consumers.

In the past 15 years, Membrane Family has always focused on mask categories, leaving users with the brand impression of "specializing in masks". In the future, we will continue to deepen the cultivation of mask categories, and take efficacy as the king and precise skin care as the cornerstone, further subdivide the efficacy of mask products, accelerate the breakthrough and innovation in the four fields of anti-aging, acne, whitening and repair, deepen communication with users, and meet the needs of users as much as possible.

Huang Yongzhen, President of Amore Pacific China

The demand for functional skin care is increasing day by day.


With the change of social environment and the rise of social media, consumers in China are increasingly demanding functional skin care. More and more concepts, such as early C and late A, sensitive skin care and so on, quickly entered the field of vision of consumers in China, and the consumption mentality of functional skin care gradually matured. We believe that there is still plenty of room for development in this track in the future.

At the same time, consumers’ demand for environmentally and socially friendly products is increasing day by day, and the impact of sustainability on purchasing decisions is also increasing. To this end, we promise to embody 100% environmental/social friendly attributes in new products and carry out brand activities to promote customers’ sustainable lifestyle. For example, Yue Shi Feng Yin Lan Capsule Cream uses renewable environmental protection packaging materials and plastic-reducing replacement equipment; The bottle cap and body of Fu Li Myna’s soothing and repairing moisturizing cream are made of renewable plastic and glass respectively, and the instructions are printed on the packaging box to reduce unnecessary resource consumption.


Huang Jinfeng, founder, chairman and CEO of Yixian E-commerce

The new pursuit of skin care brings more opportunities for cutting-edge brands


With the advent of the post-epidemic era, consumers in China pay more attention to healthy lifestyles, and the demand for products to maintain skin health and solve skin problems will rise rapidly. Refinement of skin care, pursuit of use effect and more attention to product ingredients have become the new pursuit of skin care for the younger generation of consumers, which has also spawned more vertical and layered consumer demand points such as sensitive muscle repair. This will bring more opportunities for cutting-edge brands.

I believe that in the future, more beauty brands will integrate their own and external, and even global scientific research forces to launch more high-quality functional cosmetics according to the skin characteristics and problems of China people, which contains huge imagination.

Jiang shubo, manager of siqinuo brand

Raw material customization will become a brand standard.


The track is more "diversified", for example, the number of people who repair after skits, men’s skin care and medical arts will increase; Scenes are more "subdivided", such as outdoor camping and emotional healing at home, which will bring new demands; R&D is more "involuted", and raw material customization will gradually become the standard of every brand, and the first player will get a bonus.

We see that bionic, bio-fermentation, synthetic biology and precise targeted regulation are the main directions of cosmetics research and development in the future. Therefore, Schino is rooted in the track of "precise skin care" and puts forward an exclusive four-quadrant research and development formula of "precise skin care": core component screening+carrier transportation system+formula design tool+clinical efficacy evaluation, and takes the above paradigm of "precise skin care" as the guiding ideology of research and development.

Next, based on the scientific logic of the R&D model, we will strive to solve key problems such as targeted delivery, active sustained release, transdermal absorption and efficacy quantification, and make truly safe, scientific and effective products.


Kangle, head of Aauto Quicker e-commerce beauty cosmetics personal care industry

Brands can try to expand multiple channels.


From the category point of view, I think the beauty brands that focus on pure ingredients, excellent makeup effect and efficacy will be further developed. In terms of channels, beauty brands can actively try to expand more channels, such as community e-commerce, take-away platforms, etc. For example, Watson has settled in Meituan, Nature Hall has settled in Hungry, and opened up different retail channels to gain more sales growth. Possibility.

Specific to our live e-commerce platform, beauty businesses are also facing more requirements and changes. On the one hand, platform merchants must adhere to laws and regulations, serve consumers well and fulfill their trust; On the other hand, it is also necessary to continuously improve the ability of content to plant grass, and better show the product characteristics and advantages through short videos and live broadcasts.

In addition, I expect that more and more brands will make more attempts in the meta-universe layout in the future. Online purchase of products that cannot be tried has always been the biggest reason why many consumers have doubts about the quality and effect of products. The application of meta-cosmic technology has brought new ideas to solve problems, such as AR makeup fitting and virtual makeup, which can effectively restore the offline makeup fitting experience, and virtual anchor can further solve the problem of business efficiency.

Liu Wei, former president and director of dermatology hospital of Air Force General Hospital.

Skin care for children is a new direction.


At present, more and more dermatologists are joining the cosmetics industry, and they provide professional knowledge from many aspects, such as basic skin problems, basic lesions and sub-health problems, which are helpful for enterprises to set a correct direction for research and development. For example, sensitive skin, anti-aging, acne, skin barrier damage and other issues are the focus of product development.

Besides, children’s skin care is a new direction. The new regulations can not only ensure the safety of children’s products, but also provide a basis for the development of children’s products. At present, pediatricians have joined the cosmetics industry, so I think the development of children’s cosmetics will break out in the next few years. Accordingly, in the field of children’s cosmetics, it is very necessary to carry out research and development exploration and innovation, and finally create their own brands.

Bio-fermentation technology helps the development and utilization of characteristic plant resources


The new regulations on cosmetics clearly point out that "it is encouraged to research and develop cosmetics by combining modern science and technology with traditional advantageous projects and characteristic plant resources". Therefore, using bio-fermentation technology to help the development and utilization of characteristic plant resources is one of the innovative angles of bio-fermentation raw materials in the future. The future trend is more likely to be the common development and integration of biological fermentation technology, plant extraction and chemical synthesis.

At present, there are three main forms of bio-fermentation technology used in cosmetics: the first is the fermentation products of special proprietary strains, such as Pitera live cell yeast essence and bifidus yeast fermentation product lysate cultivated by Bifidobacterium Estee Lauder; The second is to use fermentation technology to replace the monomer active ingredients obtained by traditional chemical synthesis, such as the hot functional ingredients such as ekdoline, sodium hyaluronate and ergothionine. The third is plant fermentation. The activity of enriching nutrients through microbial fermentation is much higher than that of traditional plant extraction methods, and at the same time, it can effectively reduce the toxicity of plant components.

Cosmetics will enter a new era of "precise skin care"


In recent years, well-known domestic dermatologists and cosmetics experts innovatively put forward the concept of "precise skin care", aiming at different skin problems, through research and excavation of the mechanism of skin problems, from the precise anchoring of skin targets/functional pathways, to the precise screening and scientific combination of active ingredients, to the precise transdermal delivery of core active ingredients with high bioavailability, so as to realize "precise skin care" of functional cosmetics.

It can be predicted that functional cosmetics will enter a new era of "precise skin care" in the future, and the research and development of high-performance functional skin care products need to comprehensively apply life science and technology, as well as multidisciplinary collaborative innovation such as dermatology, dermatopharmacology, dermatopharmacy (transdermal drug delivery technology) and cosmetic formulation technology. Therefore, constructing the theoretical system of "precise skin care", guiding the research and development of high-performance and functional cosmetics, and applying innovative technologies under the guidance of innovative theories will be an important development trend of high-performance and functional skin care products in the future.


Liu Chuangao, founder of Golden Beetle

Changes in the beauty market depend more on policies.


I think a lot of big probabilities of market changes do not depend on the market or industry, but on policies. For example, for example, the "double reduction" of the education and training industry is only a guiding opinion and almost kills an industry. Therefore, what changes the industry will have in the future depends more on the policy level than on the industry or market level.

As far as beauty retail is concerned, offline and online are now in an anxious balance point, and the cost of online is not low. One of its opportunities to break offline is that the rent burden of the entire physical store can show a gradual downward trend. At present, the rent is almost the highest expense of all physical stores. From this perspective, if the future rent can decline and reach a balance, then this may be an opportunity.


Ian Xu, Head of HARMAY Huamei Market and User Operation

The consumption potential of male cosmetics market is great.


The loose epidemic policy and the return of offline people will bring a recovery period for offline people entering the store. Matching the increase of passenger flow, further promoting the degree of specialization in the service field and thus promoting the transformation will become the focus of the store. At the same time, it will also be an advantage opportunity under the new round of policy stimulation to build brand power, enhance the brand memory of customers entering the store and the innovation drive of private domain communities, and keep the flow of people in the private domain of brands to the greatest extent.

With the continuous promotion of the concept of beauty and skin care, the current male consumers’ willingness to buy cosmetics and price acceptance are constantly improving. Compared with women’s cosmetics market, men’s cosmetics market is still in the blue ocean market, with great consumption potential, and the market needs to be further explored.

Mai Yaoya, Vice President (Marketing Planning) of Northbell Cosmetics Co., Ltd. and Chief Executive Officer of Northbell (Hangzhou) Company.

Cosmetics market has officially entered a rational era.


In 2022, it was called "the first year of efficacy" by many people in the industry. After a year of "efficacy education", the market’s choice of skin care products has become more and more professional, and the scientific proportion of ingredients has become the new key to appeal. CBNDATA shows that the proportion/formula of concerned ingredients is as high as 73% in consumers’ attention to the ingredients of skin care products. This also indicates that the cosmetics market has officially entered a rational era, and focusing on research and development technology, reshaping majors and seizing consumers’ minds are important breakthroughs.


Therefore, it is the direction that Northbell is working hard and will continue to work hard in the future to strengthen word-of-mouth shaping, scientifically match efficacy and bearing forms, and realize differentiated and advanced products.

Maggie, co-founder of Pellet Group

Make-up+skin care has become a trend


In the channel change, from the original "operation-driven" to "content-driven", a large number of content-driven channel enterprises will be born. Realize mutual projection between online and offline: online planting grass drives offline trial, offline service, instant satisfaction, etc. promote user purchase conversion, and feed back online product word-of-mouth communication.

On the consumer side, consumers tend to be younger, domestic brands rise, and national style elements are increasingly sought after. In addition, the consumer groups of "component party" and "efficacy control" are dominant, and consumption tends to be rational.

On the product side, innovative product thinking combining makeup and skin care is needed. At present, the cosmetics market in China is in the growth stage, and it is necessary to meet the diversified beauty care needs if you want to stand out among many brands. Consumers all hope to get long-lasting and high-performance cosmetics, especially those that use skin care ingredients to provide moisturizing and durability.

Ruan Jinjian, Deputy General Manager of Jinsheng New Materials

The overall trend of packaging materials is multi-material fusion.

In the coming year, China’s beauty market should be more finely divided, and each brand will strive to highlight its own brand power. At the same time, the beauty market will pay more attention to the individual needs of consumers, and there will be more and more cross-border brands, personalized products and cross-border products.

In 2023, the overall trend of beauty packaging is the integration of multiple materials, simplicity is not simple, low-key luxury, exquisite personality; In terms of plastic packaging containers, the proportion of environmental protection materials will be higher and higher. The market performance of beauty packaging in 2023 should be on the rise as a whole. However, due to the need for a stage of macroeconomic recovery, the proportion of small-batch orders will rise.


Wu Qinglin, founder of Merrill Lynch Beauty Cosmetics

Offline channels should do two things well.

Personally, I think offline channels should be done from two aspects. First, we should strengthen the superiority of goods. The optimization of commodities probably includes eliminating unsalable products in time, introducing new products in time, purchasing seasonal products and best-selling products in advance, and forming a reproducible product selection model. In this way, with the continuous optimization of our products, we can further improve the competitiveness of our stores.The second is team building. It probably includes these aspects: first, competitive salary; Second, there is an open, inclusive and equal corporate culture; Third, a more optimized staff training system, so as to create an excellent management team and management team.

Xie Yong, founder of Plant Doctor brand and chairman of Beijing Plant Doctor Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Focusing on market segments is a good way to survive.

As for the long-term change direction in the future, in fact, the markets in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea have given us a good reference, that is, the market is constantly concentrated, and there is also a long-tailed differentiated market, which will lead to several things. First, a few companies will get more and more resources. Second, if they want to survive, they will either give up the market, divide it or occupy some more differentiated market space.

China is a market with a vast territory, very complicated levels, and its consumption habits and customs are greatly different from those of other countries, which also creates many opportunities for some long-tail markets of brands. If a brand wants to survive, it is a good way to focus on a market segment, which is also a way to avoid being concentrated.

General Manager of Kose Cosmetics Sales (China) Co., Ltd. Kazuhara Shinohara

Will pay more attention to the creation of new beauty methods.


Skin care products, especially high-end skin care products, not only exert their strength in efficacy, products and technology, but also pay great attention to the texture and aroma of products. These elements are also very necessary for the success of a skin care product. Good packaging, skin feel and fragrance will bring people a sense of pleasure. This sense of pleasure can give people psychological hints, which will stimulate the spirit and make the body and mind happy, thus achieving a good skin care effect.

Therefore, compared with the breakthrough in composition, brands like Deke, which rely on the concept of "comprehensive beauty", will pay more attention to the creation of new beauty methods. In the future, we may focus on the adjustment and creation of the internal mechanism of the human body, for example, by promoting the production of happy hormones in the human body, to strengthen the beauty of the body itself.

Wei Xue, Managing Director of Northeast Asia of Beiersdorf Group

Technology skin care and precision skin care have become the new normal.


Under the background of economic recovery, China’s fast-growing domestic consumer market is an important development opportunity for us. The rapidly growing demand of China consumers for high-quality and personalized products naturally brings us huge development space for foreign-funded enterprises.

Looking into the future, consumers’ demand for products will change greatly, and they will constantly improve the requirements of product efficacy, which will make scientific skin care and precise skin care become the normal state in the future. At the same time, we also found that China’s digital technology innovation is a very valuable opportunity, which is also an important factor to attract many enterprises to invest and develop in China.

Nowadays, the mode of "technology+skin care" has become an important development direction of the industry in the future. Therefore, in terms of digital construction, Beiersdorf has been perfecting the digital infrastructure construction and actively establishing his own digital talent pool with the help of digital platforms and tools. Strengthening cooperation with China enterprises in innovation, especially in digital economy, is undoubtedly of great significance to enterprises.

Yue Min, General Manager of Baiyuete Biotechnology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.

Strong efficacy mask is still the first choice for brand star products.

Aiming at the skin care needs of specific people, providing diversified life and different scenes, ampoule essence and powerful facial mask are still the first choice for brand star products. In addition, the functional food sector is also one of the future opportunities. Baiyuete has completed the research and development of TCI999 ancient prescription bacteria with the efficacy of large-scale IRB human clinical experiment and TCI188 tooth-whitening beneficial bacteria fermentation essence, which can expand the horizontal product sales matrix for the brand. Recently, we also launched a new probiotic cream for children’s skin allergies, which will be on the market soon.

Jolie, founder of Luoyang Color

Specialization will become the core competitiveness of physical stores


After several years’ development and the change of consumer habits caused by the epidemic, online new media will gradually become the main channel, and physical stores will face a more serious traffic crisis. In the future, physical stores will definitely strive for the ability to retain customers and lock customers, and specialization will become the core competitiveness. Therefore, products and services are constant topics. As a physical chain, we need to provide consumers with differentiated products and services with visible effects.

Zhu Hong, General Manager of Guangzhou Zhongtong Biochemical Products Co., Ltd.

Meet the needs of market segments

The breakthrough point of cosmetics lies in creating products to solve the demand, just as P&G’s earliest 2in1 shampoo solved the problem of convenient hair washing, and has been leading the market for 30 years. Many of our current cutting-edge brands are meeting the needs of increasingly segmented people. No matter how big this group is, as long as it is really in demand and can form repurchase stickiness, there will be a chance to form a breakthrough point. The improvement of current information and data services can get inspiration from past experience to create products, but the key to the breakthrough point of products lies in people, and the truth that customers don’t know what they don’t know is eternal.


Zhang Chubiao, Chairman and President of Danzi Group

Brand Breakthrough Driven by Category


Generally speaking, China consumers are upgrading from basic skin care to exquisite care, and the sales of essences, creams and high-end masks will be further improved; At the same time, users’ pursuit of skin care products has entered a high-quality stage, and it is becoming more and more mature for domestic products to focus on creating high-end star items and drive brands to break through by categories. There are only a few basic categories of skin care products and make-up, and it seems that they have almost been finalized.

However, if we have in-depth insight from the perspective of users, we can find many opportunities for innovation. Taking facial mask as an example, after the basic models of facial mask and mud film, peeling facial mask, good night frozen mask, bubble facial mask and freeze-dried facial mask have appeared in the industry. Now, there are some brands that combine micro-current into the face film, and also add the effect of electronic beauty.

I think, because the market in China is large enough, as long as it can meet the needs of a small number of people, it can support the survival and development of a category or brand.

Zheng Chunying, Chairman of Galand Group

In 2023, "digital drive and efficiency are king"


In 2022, thanks to three years of digital construction, organizational change and product innovation, Galand achieved sales of +2.6% year-on-year and maintained 43,000 retail terminals; 15.04 million new consumer data assets were added. More importantly, we have also gained a lot in digital transformation. At present, the proportion of our digital camp has reached 98.8%, which is 50.8% higher than that of 2019. The proportion of digital retail reached 67.1%, an increase of 105.7% compared with 2019. Among them, Nature Hall’s digital revenue accounted for 99%, and omni-channel digital retail reached 67.2%.

Facing 2023, Galand Group will increase its revenue, that is, the target will increase by 18%; But also a substantial increase in profits; We also need high-quality growth, that is, from scale growth with only sales volume but no quality to quality value growth. To this end, we need to do the following three things well: carry out overall organizational changes; A plate of goods should begin to play a role in improving efficiency and reducing costs; Strengthen process management and improve performance management.

At present, we are in an era of increasing uncertainty, and we don’t know what will happen when we wake up every day, and the business risks of enterprises are getting bigger and bigger. Everyone should have a clear understanding of this. In the new year, we need to go hand in hand with the brave, face the severe external situation together, set higher goals and make major changes: digital drive and efficiency are king.


"Let Chinese excellent traditional culture become an important source of literary and artistic innovation"

"The apes on both sides of the strait can’t stop crying, and the canoe has passed Chung Shan Man!"

Rivers run, birds gather, and poets sing loudly, resounding through the sky. At the end of the animated film "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an", Li Bai finally saw the light after a rough time, and the audience felt deeply and comfortably. The creator showed the weather of the Tang Dynasty with a hearty audio-visual narrative, and also made the familiar Tang poems have a new artistic conception.

From The Return of the Great Sage on the Journey to the West, which was called "the light of the country", to the grand occasion that Ne Zha created a single box office of more than 5 billion yuan and 140 million people watched the movie, and then to the watching craze and continuous hot discussion caused by Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an … In the past 10 years, nine of the top 20 animated films at the box office in China were based on Chinese excellent traditional culture. These passionate "national style animations" activate cultural genes with contemporary aesthetics, present magnificent imagination with digital technology, explore China style and pursue China style, and become a microcosm of Chinese excellent traditional cultural innovation.
