Chen Baoguo talks about misusing body double: "Anything can be done, but you can’t lose your virtue."

  Whether it is Lu Huaishan, deputy consul general in The Last Visa, which is being broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, or the director of the Anti-drug Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security in The Mekong River Case, all the roles played by Chen Baoguo are mostly people with lofty sentiments and a sense of loyalty. For such an evaluation, Chen Baoguo expressed a different view: "I don’t want to give the audience a stereotype, I hope to try more roles", and took the villain role in No War in Peiping two years ago as an example to express his view that "actors should play the ancient, the modern, the good and the evil".

  Do not work against your will and enjoy the process.

  As early as four or five years ago, Chen Baoguo had repeatedly said that he wanted to play all the "workers, peasants, business students". Chen Baoguo conquered the audience with his acting skills, whether it was the image of a farmer deeply rooted in people’s hearts in The Old Farmer or a steel worker in The Age of Steel. He bluntly said that all these opportunities were due to his meeting with Gao Mantang, a distinguished and well-known screenwriter. They cooperated for four times and realized their grand slam wish. Chen Baoguo was not satisfied: "An actor will meet many roles in his life, not that you will be finished after acting. You have to be good-looking, durable and stand up to scrutiny, so that you have completed a creation. Not like staking a horse. "

  Before going to Prague for the last visa, Chen Baoguo had just finished the work of The Old Farmer and The Mekong River Case, and once used drugs to relieve insomnia symptoms. When filming The Last Visa, Chen Baoguo was also adjusting his state. After he passed the physiological limit, Chen Baoguo said that he needed to adjust his rhythm in the future. "Being an actor should rely on his role to speak, rather than lacking anything, shoot his favorite drama, work against his will and enjoy the process." This is Chen Baoguo’s creed.

  No need, body double, no drama

  In the face of the current situation, such as small amount of fresh meat, no filming for pay, and extensive use of body double, the senior strength faction also has its own views. "This is virtue, anything can be done, but you can’t lose virtue." He even bluntly said that if body double was arranged, "Who do you love, I jumped with him." Besides not using body double, Chen Baoguo never plays. With the development of technology, there are many new film-making methods, such as CG movies and special effects movies, which often require actors to perform themselves in front of the green screen. He admits that he has never had such an experience. In the opening drama "The Old Farmer", which was broadcasted by Beijing Satellite TV in 2015, a large part of the filming was completed by Chen Baoguo alone because of the schedule of the actors, which is a similar experience. Although the final effect is very good, Chen Baoguo once again stressed: "The true meaning of art is true, listening, seeing and communicating. After saying so much, the first word is true."

  There are many feelings about revisiting the old place.

  It is worth mentioning that the "Last Visa" crew went to Prague to shoot and restore the true state of the "World War II" period. In fact, the fate between Chen Baoguo and Prague goes far beyond this filming. Chen Baoguo went to Prague with a film delegation 30 years ago. This time, because of revisiting the filming place, Chen Baoguo frankly felt a lot. Whether it’s a tavern that inherited his father’s business, a little shop with a felt hat that can’t be found, or a Czech film studio with the largest clothing inventory in the world, facing the familiar scene, Chen Baoguo said with emotion, "Thirty years, life is actually quite interesting. In addition to filming this time, I can go to the place where I have been. "

At least 40 people were killed when the Moscow subway was bombed during the rush hour (Figure)

Topic: Mumbai serial terrorist attacks in India

    A running subway train in Moscow, Russia, exploded on the morning of the 6th. The Interfax news agency said that the explosion had killed at least 40 people and injured hundreds. Russian officials believe that this is likely to be a suicide attack.






    


Rescuers carried an injured person out of the subway station. Xinhua/AFP


    Heavy casualties during the rush hour.


    The explosion occurred around 8: 30 am Moscow time on the 6th (1: 30 pm Beijing time on the 6th), which was the rush hour. After a subway train left the station for about 500 meters, the second carriage suddenly exploded, and the train continued to rush forward for 500 meters under the action of inertia before stopping. The explosion caused a fire and smoke billowed in the subway tunnel.


    Ilya blokhin, a 31-year-old doctor who was sitting in the penultimate carriage at the time of the incident, said: "I heard a loud noise similar to the explosion of firecrackers, and then smoke filled the carriage. Now the subway has also exploded. How will our country, government and police respond when they (terrorists) blow up subway trains crowded with passengers? "


    A woman with a bloody face told the camera lens of Moscow Independent Television that for a long time after the explosion, passengers in the car could not open the door. Finally, they managed to pry open the car door and walked for another 2 to 3 kilometers before leaving the tunnel.


    After the explosion, the police immediately closed the two subway stations closest to the train and interrupted the subway operation. Hundreds of fire engines and ambulances quickly gathered near the incident. Rescuers approached the train from both ends of the subway tunnel and firefighters began to put out the fire. Many dead and injured people were carried out from the subway station.


    Nikolai isaev, a reporter from Reuters who was present, said: "I saw at least three injured people. One person has a head injury, and the other seems to have lost consciousness. The injured were taken to an ambulance and taken away from the scene. "


    Lena, who works in a grocery store near the nearest subway station, said: "We saw them carry out the bodies and the injured covered in blood."


    She said that shortly after the explosion, a man "walked into the store, shivering and covered in blood." He said,’ Give me a bottle of vodka.’ "The man said that he crossed the bombed car and walked out of the tunnel.


    "He told us that he saw his arms and legs scattered in the carriage. He said it was a bloody massacre. " Lena said.


    Another suicide bombing?


    Judging the nature of this incident, ITAR-TASS quoted an official of the Federal Security Service as saying: "The main judgment of this incident is a terrorist activity."


    A spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs made a clearer inference when interviewed by a reporter from Reuters. "I don’t rule out the possibility that the explosion was carried out by a suicide bomber." He said.


    The Interfax news agency also reported that the police’s current judgment is that the explosion is most likely a terrorist incident committed by a female suicide attacker.


    Moscow police said that the explosive used in this incident was equivalent to more than 1 kg of TNT.


    Later on the 6th, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin made a statement on the case during his talks with visiting Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. He said: "Only by uniting all forces can we deal with terrorism, the disaster of the 21st century."


    After learning the news, Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, who is visiting the United States, has also adjusted his itinerary and will return to China early.


    In recent years, illegal armed forces in the Chechen Republic of Russia have carried out a series of suicide bombings in Russia. In July last year, two suicide bombers made an explosion at an open-air concert in Moscow, killing 16 people, including them; In December last year, a female attacker detonated explosives in front of a hotel near Moscow’s Red Square, killing at least five passers-by; Five days later, Moscow police foiled another suicide attack plot. However, it is still impossible to confirm whether the subway bombing on the 6 th is also related to the illegal armed forces in Chechnya.


    Moreover, since the bombing occurred before the Russian presidential election on March 14th, it attracted more public attention.


    After the news of the explosion of the subway train came out, the financial market in Moscow was immediately shaken. The exchange rate between the ruble and the US dollar fell by 0.3%, and the stock price also fell by nearly 2%.


    There are over 100 subway stations in Moscow. The police said that after the incident, Moscow and St. Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia, have strengthened the security of the subway system.

1905 Exclusive Planning: Big Data Report of Movie Box Office in August 2017

Special feature of 1905 film network With the students’ party entering the classroom in succession, the "summer file" ended. In the last month of this summer file, in less than 25 days, the overall box office in August has exceeded the 6 billion mark, and finally surpassed February 2016 with a box office of 7.363 billion yuan, creating the latest single-month box office record. As of August 31st, a total of 35 films landed in cinemas in August, among which 31 were domestic films, accounting for 91.80% of the box office.


Wolf Warriors 2, as the first box office list in China at present, naturally became the leader of the box office in August. The fantasy film "The Story of the Shark Pearl", which was made with great production and publicity, was hit by the box office and was full of embarrassment. As the only imported film, Star Agent: City of a Thousand Stars entered the top ten.

 

In the same period, the box office increased greatly, and the cumulative box office broke 40 billion.


As of August 31st, the total box office in August was 7.363 billion, an increase of 81.49% over the same period of last year, a huge increase. Among them, the single-day box office on August 5 reached 527 million yuan, which was the highest in August. On the same day, the attendance rate of Wolf Warriors 2 reached 81.43%, making it the highest in this month. It is worth mentioning that the number of screenings this month is 8.52 million, which is basically the same as last month, but the number of people watching movies has increased by 45%. At the same time, this month, after February this year, the average number of people per show has reached more than 20 again. This is closely related to the high reputation and attendance of films such as Wolf Warriors 2 and Twenty-two.

        

As of August 31st, the cumulative box office for the whole year has reached 39.583 billion, which is about to exceed 40 billion, an increase of 19.36% compared with the same period of last year. Compared with the time of breaking 40 billion in November last year, it is expected that the target will be reached at least two months ahead of schedule this year.


"Two Wolves" Win More than Half of the Box Office Summer File. The last bus is not easy to take.


A total of 35 films were released this month, including over 100 million domestic films and over 100 million imported films, an overall increase of one from last month. Among the top ten films this month, "Two Wolves" (Wolf Warriors 2 and Kill the Wolf and Greedy Wolf) took 4.7 billion yuan at the box office. A total of four imported films were released in the last week of this month. Except for "Star Agent: City of a Thousand Stars", the other films were relatively eye-catching, and none of them exceeded 200 million in the first weekend of release.

 

 

Although the number of films released in August is still large, except for Wolf Warriors 2, about 30 films only accounted for 38% of the box office. The raging fire of Wolf Warriors 2 burned the whole August, making the box office in a single month even exceed the total box office in March, May and June this year. In the first half of the film’s release, the average attendance rate was as high as 37%, while other films were usually only about 10%. The high-profile films and the high attendance rate, coupled with the patriotic enthusiasm aroused by the Army Day in August, Wolf Warriors 2 just seized this opportunity, so it seems that the high box office of Wolf Warriors 2 is inevitable.

        

Another film that has been hotly discussed this month is a documentary "Twenty-two". As the first cinema documentary with a box office of over 100 million in China, its achievements and popularity far exceeded expectations. From the time when the film was first released, only 1.5% of the films were arranged, and the box office exceeded 100 million; Under the unfavorable situation that the proportion of films in a single day is only 4.8%, the box office in a single day won 13,537,100 yuan, with an attendance rate of 49.71%. You should know that even Wolf Warriors 2, which ranked first in the box office, only had an attendance rate of 20.78% on that day. "Twenty-two" took it to a box office counterattack with its strong reputation.

 

The two films released on the same day, Psychological Crime and Grand Theft Auto, basically go hand in hand and have similar box office. Another movie, The Legend of the Shark Pearl, which was released on the same day with them, suffered a box office flop, earning 108 million yuan in the first week, while as of the 31st, the movie was released for 21 days, with a box office of only 113 million yuan, indicating that it only earned 5 million yuan in the second two weeks. Although no one expected that "Wolf Warriors 2" would become a "dark horse" at the box office, which affected the box office performance of other films, after all, the audience now watch more blockbusters with top special effects, and the audience can’t be conquered by special effects and scenes alone. Telling a good story is the last word.

 

Star Agent: The City of a Thousand Stars, as the only film to reach the top ten in a month, has occupied the first place in the daily box office list for six consecutive days since its release on the 31st, and the dominance of Wolf Warriors 2 has finally been suppressed, and the box office of 311 million has broken the box office record of luc besson in China. Although the film’s reputation and box office in North America are not good, domestic audiences still buy it, and the special effects alone can be worth the ticket price.

 

The cost of "Jiangxi Huaying" has soared in provinces with box office exceeding 100 million per month.


As of August 31st, the number of effective cinemas nationwide reached 8,455 this month, including 69 new cinemas. In terms of cinemas, Wukesong Store of Beijing Yaolai Jackie Chan International Studios basically took the first place. This month, Shuangjing Store of Beijing UME Studios returned to the top five. It is worth mentioning that Jiangxi Huaying International Cinema ranked ninth and unexpectedly entered the top ten, becoming a "new star" in the rankings almost swept by Beijing and Guangzhou.


However, no matter how the box office situation changes, Wanda Cinema and Guangdong Dadi Cinema always rank first and second in the cinema box office. Compared with last month, only the third and fourth places were reversed, Shenzhen Zhongying Southern Film Shinkansen became the third place, and Shanghai Lianhe Cinema Line slipped to the fourth place.


In terms of regions, due to the high monthly box office this month, the number of provinces with box office exceeding 100 million has increased from about 15 in the past to 24, an increase of 8 compared with July. Among them, Sichuan surpassed Shanghai and Beijing, ranking fourth with 424 million yuan, while Jilin and Guizhou provinces exceeded 100 million yuan for the first time this year.

 

The box office of all cities has increased this month. In August, there were 12 cities with over 100 million yuan nationwide, an increase of 3 from last month. Shanghai topped the list with 411 million yuan, and Beijing was runner-up with 391 million yuan. The total box office of the two cities increased by about 50% compared with last month. Nanjing, Xi ‘an and Dongguan are newly added cities with box office exceeding 100 million this month.

 

Although the box office of Wolf Warriors 2 was bursting this month due to its strong endurance, other films generally performed poorly. Both popular IP and works with small fresh meat or old opera bones were basically reduced to cannon fodder of Wolf Warriors 2 in August. After the craze of Wolf Warriors 2 receded, other films were weak.

 

Nolan’s "Dunkirk" and the film "The Silver Soul" opened the first weekend of September, followed by Hollywood blockbusters for three consecutive weeks. Spider-Man: The Return of Heroes and Rise of the Planet of the Apes 3 will be the highlights that many fans expect in September. As the off-season of box office in September, this year, there are not only "Wolf Warriors 2" postponed to late September, but also many imported blockbusters. This September is worth looking forward to.

Taxi at the North Gate of the Forbidden City picks people "slaughter customers" and says "never use a meter"

  China Youth Network, Beijing, June 23(Reporter, Zhang Ruiyu) At about 5 pm on June 22, a taxi stopped at the entrance of the Palace Museum. The driver stood next to the car with an umbrella and looked in the direction of the Palace Museum from time to time. Nearly 30 minutes later, a reporter from China Youth Network asked the driver if he could go. When the driver learned that the reporter was going to a university near the South College Road, he thought for a while and said bluntly, "This place is too close, I never use a meter," and refused the reporter to ride.

  On the afternoon of the 22nd, Beijing was in heavy rainfall weather. The reporter came to the Palace Museum, and the rain caused some inconvenience to travel. At 17 o’clock, only a few tourists came out of the North Gate of the Palace Museum, which was much more empty than usual.

  A man in white short sleeves, holding an umbrella in his hand, stood next to his taxi parked at the north gate of the Palace Museum and looked in the direction of the Palace Museum. At first, China Youth Network thought that the driver was here to pick up people, but after nearly 30 minutes, the reporter of China Youth Network did not find that the driver had checked his mobile phone and contacted people. Still holding an umbrella and looking in the direction of the Palace Museum.

  The China Youth Network reporter called the driver and asked if he could go somewhere on the South Road of the Academy. The driver thought for a while and confirmed to the reporter whether it was near a certain university. After getting a positive answer, the driver bluntly said, "This place is too close, I never use a meter.", refused the reporter to ride, and looked in the direction of the Palace Museum again.

  Not long after, a black car came out of the Palace Museum. When it passed the white short-sleeved driver, the driver nodded and bent over, made a gesture to please the people in the car, and greeted them with a smile, saying, "I’m waiting for you, I’ll leave immediately."

  Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people at the north gate of the Palace Museum, the group of four foreign-accented women with a child attracted the attention of the white short-sleeved driver. He took the initiative to ask where he was going. One of the foreign-accented women said she was going to a hotel, and a tricycle master next to him said near Wangfujing, "behind the church". The foreign-accented woman asked, "Fifty yuan for one person… with children?" The white short-sleeved driver said "Count". The group left in a car.

  Soon, two more people came to Nanluoguxiang, and the tricycle master said 20 yuan each and took them away.

  Afterwards, a reporter from China Youth Network stopped another taxi. After learning where the reporter was going, the other party bluntly said that the location was too close to be cost-effective, and they were going to get off work. They asked the reporter to walk forward and take the subway.

  On the afternoon of the 22nd, a reporter from China Youth Network learned from Shan Jixiang, the director of the Palace Museum, that the scalpers who sold tickets, small advertising activities for one-day trips, and taxi riders had been rectified and were now almost extinct.

  The China Youth Network reporter contacted the transportation committee. After listening to the reporter’s situation, the customer service of the transportation service supervision hotline told the reporter that they were responsible for recording the information and would transfer it to the law enforcement department for investigation and handling. They would reply to the reporter within 15 working days. As for the penalties for taxi slaughter, they could not judge.

  Wuhan: Customized bus transfers for returning personnel

  On March 14, it was learned from Wuhan Public Transport Group Economic Development Company that according to the "Reply on Matters Related to Supporting the Resumption of Work and Production of Employees in Wuhan Development Zone (Hannan District) " of the Wuhan Municipal Headquarters’s Transportation Security and Environmental Remediation Group, on the same day, the company organized the first batch of 23 special buses and 23 drivers for the "customized special car" commuting rehearsal for units and enterprises in the two administrative areas of the Economic Development Zone (Hannan District) and Hanyang District. From March 16, it will officially provide orderly and smooth commuting services for the return of some enterprises.

  The company designs the travel routes and stops required for the next day according to the specifications one day in advance. If each line has 10 people, a special car can be reserved successfully, and the upper limit of each car is 50% of the limited number of passengers. The vehicle dispatcher of the bus company reasonably arranges the special car to wait for passengers at the designated station according to the number of reservations and the appointment time. During the commute, the company assigns volunteers to accompany the car to verify the identity and health status of the passengers. Customized services not only eliminate the process of getting on and off the bus halfway through, but also ensure that the people in the car are fixed and single, and realize that the stop of the commuter special car and the start of the shift time are "customizable".

  The first batch of 23 commuter cars resumed work strictly according to the requirements. The 23 drivers are mainly personnel who have served medical care and supermarket commuter lines in the early stage. Through the "actual combat against the epidemic" in the past few days, they have rich experience in vehicle disinfection, passenger identity investigation, and their own health conditions. Drivers participating in the operation sign a "Safety Commitment" and complete physical and mental condition tests before leaving the car. During the operation, the vehicles are required to be "disinfected one after another". Drivers wear their own protective equipment strictly, ensure that the car is fully ventilated during driving, and arrange seats for passengers at a safe distance to ensure the safety of the car environment and ride to the greatest extent.

From mobile phones to rims, Xiaomi and Huawei love each other.

Text/Lu Shiming

Executives "talk to each other" at the car launch conference, or it will become a normal state of the industry.

Not long ago, Huawei held the HarmonyOS Ecological Spring Communication Meeting and released a number of new products. At the press conference, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, BG CEO, chairman of BU, Huawei’s smart car solution, and Yin Tongyue, chairman of Chery Automobile, released the first smart car, Zhijie S7, for the second time.

It is understood that the newly released Zhijie S7 has launched five models, among which S7 Ultra has been added as a high-end model. The official guide price is 249,800 to 349,800 yuan, and the price range is consistent with the old model.

Standing on the level of public opinion, the public doesn’t seem to be interested in the product itself, but what really makes people relish is Yu Chengdong’s series of remarks on "targeting" Xiaomi.

From the mobile phone stand to intelligent driving, Yu Chengdong’s "insinuation" of Xiaomi is familiar, just like the "routine" of the two companies at the mobile phone conference for many years.

However, the trend of executives of the two companies "talking to each other" from a distance has blown to a new battlefield this time, and the "grudges and enmities" between the two companies over the years will also stage a new story in the automobile market.

Yu Chengdong has never been soft on "friends". In this release, Yu Chengdong made many statements all the time, which can be said to be "tit for tat" with Xiaomi.

At the previous Xiaomi SU7 conference, Lei Jun once said: "I found that all the car manufacturers did not consider how to install the mobile phone bracket, and none of them worked well. We must make the best mobile phone bracket!"

At the S7 conference of Zhijie, Yu Chengdong said in a meaningful way: "I really don’t understand why many cars use mobile phone stands. Later, I understood that their car navigation performance is not good! We will let the mobile phone application get on the bus in full, and the powerful heart does not need a mobile phone bracket! "

In addition, Yu Chengdong also intentionally emphasized that the utilization rate of car navigation in HarmonyOS is as high as 99%, while the utilization rate of other car navigation is only 31%, and the gap is "very large".

Regarding Yu Chengdong’s remarks, Lei Jun issued a document in Weibo, saying: "At their press conference, General Manager Huawei ridiculed the design of our original mobile phone bracket for Xiaomi SU7." At the same time, Lei Jun also asked questions and initiated a vote: Do you support the original mobile phone bracket in the car? Why do you think we made the original mobile phone stand?

Up to now, 271,000 people have voted for this activity, of which 231,000 support the original mobile phone stand of Xiaomi SU7 and 40,000 do not. Zinc Finance noticed that the highest praise message in the comment area of the event was: "I can do without it, but you can’t do without it."

In addition to the episode of mobile phone stand, Yu Chengdong also made a targeted "insinuation" on intelligent driving.

It is reported that Lei Jun once said: "The whole industry is in the city of NOA. We started user testing in April, officially opened ten cities in May, and opened nationwide in August!" At the press conference, Yu Chengdong said: "Huawei Smart Drive is a spot, not a futures, and it is the best spot!" In this regard, Lei Jun did not send a response.

At the press conference, we conducted parameter benchmarking and technical comparison, or emphasized the strength of functions, and then the senior management published a document on Weibo to "communicate with each other" from a distance. This marketing technique and rhythm has become commonplace in the mobile phone circle, especially Huawei and Xiaomi, who have used this routine perfectly.

However, this has become a "new thing" in the automobile circle. After all, no car company has conducted such a "blatant" benchmarking before, and there has been no precedent for executives to speak out about competitors’ weaknesses at the press conference.

Obviously, with the competitiveness of Huawei and Xiaomi in the automobile market becoming more and more prominent, the two companies that have been "loving each other and killing each other" for many years have reached the time of "short-term intersection", but this time the battlefield has changed from mobile phones to cars.

In fact, the relationship between Huawei and Xiaomi in the early days was not "tense" at all, and even very "harmonious".

In 2012, Yu Chengdong sent Weibo that he needed to learn Internet marketing from Lei Jun, and Lei Jun also responded that Huawei has always been an example for Xiaomi to learn. At that time, the relationship between the two families was very harmonious.

In 2013, Xiaomi gradually gained momentum and launched Redmi, and Huawei also announced its glory independence.

In terms of brand positioning, Redmi, like Glory, focuses on products with a thousand yuan level. Including the product level, Glory 3C, the first mobile phone after glory independence, is very similar in appearance and configuration to Redmi. Later, sales proved that the two companies’ choices were undoubtedly correct. In 2014, the shipments of Glory and Redmi rose sharply, which brought more revenue to the parent company.

Even if they all made achievements, they all became the best in the market. At that time, the atmosphere between Xiaomi and Huawei was still very relaxed.

When the time came to 2015, Huawei began to make full efforts in the mid-to-high-end market, and achieved outstanding results, and the Mate series emerged. However, in the same year, Xiaomi, due to the insufficient supply of Xiaolong processors, led to a crisis in brand reputation and sales began to decline.

On the other side of Xiaomi’s constant problems, Glory seized this opportunity, eating away a lot of market share originally belonging to Xiaomi and Redmi, and helped Huawei win the first sales volume that year.

There is no doubt that 2015 is a watershed in the relationship between the two companies, laying the groundwork for the future "mutual tearing" between the two companies.

Only a few years later, Huawei Xiaomi began real competition, and the executives of the two companies frequently exchanged ideas at their respective product launches.

For example, in May 2018, HONOR officially announced that it will release Glory play on June 6, which will launch Huawei’s "very scary technology." Xiaomi immediately said that "Xiaomi 8 has many very scary technologies". In this regard, Huawei directly responded that it has a lot of technology. "Do you want to learn? It’s very difficult, so you should study hard. "

By the end of 2019, Xiaomi and Glory started a war of words for a week, starting with Xiaomi’s public relations Pan Da’s announcement that Weibo publicly questioned the existence of false propaganda on the glory smart screen.

In the next few years, such incidents were frequently staged. Even in the last year or two, the "DISS Friends" session at the two press conferences was never absent.

However, from a historical perspective, the reason for the "frequent tearing" between the two companies is also inseparable from the changes in the market environment.

In the years when the two companies were "in love", Samsung and Apple occupied most of the market share. At that time, domestic mobile phones needed to unite and reduce internal friction because of insufficient technical strength. But by 18 years or so, Samsung Apple has begun to decline, while the domestic mobile phone under the rapid development is rising step by step.

Without the threat of foreign enemies, domestic mobile phone manufacturers have also started a new round of competition, and the story of Huawei and Xiaomi "killing each other" has begun.

In fact, in the fact that the entire mobile phone market is gradually sluggish, the "gunpowder smell" of the two companies in the past two years is far less strong than before. But who would have thought that as both companies entered the new energy vehicle market, those familiar "old plots" turned back.

In 2021, after Huawei officially started its automobile business, it always claimed that it would not build cars, but only help car companies build good cars.

So far, Huawei has really not violated this creed, but with the increasing "Chinese content" of the entire automobile circle, consumers have been unable to tell who is the "protagonist".

Up to now, Huawei has reached cooperation with many domestic car companies, such as "Wen Jie" with Selis, Aouita with Chang ‘an, Zhijie with Chery, Polar Fox with BAIC and so on.

Although there are many cooperations, Huawei’s cooperative brands are only "out of bounds", and others are not excellent. As the first smart car that it cooperates with Chery, Huawei’s expectation for the intelligent S7 is obviously higher than other brands. Not only is it equipped with Huawei’s best autonomous driving technology, but it has also gained an unprecedented "momentum" from Huawei.

Unfortunately, judging from the current results, the performance of the intellectual community is very unsatisfactory.

Zhijie S7 has been on the market for nearly five months, and its sales in these five months have failed to exceed 1,000 vehicles. Specifically, there were 115 and 784 vehicles in November and December last year, and 604 and 794 vehicles in January and February this year, respectively.

In the same price segment, on the other hand, Xiaomi SU7 stole the limelight after listing, and the heat continued to rise, and the sales volume was even more popular.

According to public data, Xiaomi Automobile delivered a total of 1,093 vehicles in the 14th week of 2024, ranking 9th among new energy automobile brands. In addition, in the brand sales ranking of the pure electric vehicle market of more than 200,000, Xiaomi Auto also successfully entered the list, ranking fifth with sales of 1.1 thousand vehicles, surpassing Zhijie and Xpeng Motors.

It is worth noting that the delivery of Xiaomi Auto started on April 3rd, and the 4th to 6th falls on Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday, so this data can not fully reflect the actual delivery potential of Xiaomi SU7.

The sales volume of Zhijie S7 can’t exceed 1,000 in five months, and the sales volume of Xiaomi SU7 will exceed 1,000 in the listing week.

Under such a "gap", Huawei can’t turn a blind eye. It must readjust its propaganda caliber and regard Xiaomi as its core competitor. This is also the reason why Huawei wants to "second" release the intelligent S7.

Huawei should re-emphasize the technical gap between Zhijie S7 and Xiaomi SU7, so as to gain more consumers’ recognition and increase sales.

After 2018, the "mutual tearing" between the two companies can be seen as a microcosm of the marketing war of mobile phone brands. Now, this process will be repeated in the automobile market.

So, who will be the ultimate "winner"? This question is not important. It is important to hope that Huawei and Xiaomi can benefit consumers with better technology under this kind of competition, so that the whole new energy automobile industry can reach a higher level.
