Interview with Ruan Jingtian: Accelerating accumulation offers more possibilities

  "Come, turn your chin slightly to the right."

  Ruan Jingtian was wrapped in a black turtleneck sweater and turned his face to the right. The peaks of his eyebrows were obvious, and the lines of his chin were almost sharp.

  This is Ethan Ruan under the camera, accurate and sharp.

  And in the conversation that the camera can’t capture, he has the softest and most relaxed lines. Although his eyebrows are still as flamboyant as the "monk" in "Mengka", the eyes below are not at all incompatible with the warmth of Xiao Kuan in "LOVE". Occasionally, a few strands of ancient spirits belonging to "Fan Ruyi" in "Detective Runaway" sneak out and shine very brightly.

  "Many things in life are full of surprises and surprises, and this job is an accident for me." The plain ring ring on his left ring finger is not conspicuous, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is slow. "But I gradually discovered that this job is related to people. And people are the most complex and fun things in the world. I like people, whether friends, real-world friends or strangers. I like to study people more and more, not to talk to anyone deliberately, but to carefully observe how he will behave in what situation." Apparently, the older boy who had "never thought of entering this industry" enjoyed the accident.

  Indeed, it was a beautiful accident that brought a new king to Taiwanese cinema.

  It’s not all real.

  But emotion must come from the heart

  As early as when reading Cai Jun’s novel "Murder Like Water," Ruan Jingtian liked this story very much. When Ruan Jingtian learned that director Chen Guo would adapt the novel, Ruan Jingtian had a face-to-face communication with the director. 10 minutes, from conversation to setting the angle, the matter was settled.

  Ethan loves this kind of face-to-face communication, which is also his exclusive way to win the role of his favorite director.

  "When communicating with people, I like to communicate face-to-face, eye-to-eye, and communicate the feelings of the heart. These are the most direct feelings I express. In many cases, instead of competing for roles through agents and companies, I prefer to connect through them, and then talk to the director face-to-face, so that I can find out if there is a common idea about the role and the possibility of cooperation."

  Of course, there were exceptions.

  When taking over "Mengka", don’t talk about communicating with the director. Ruan Jingtian readily agreed without even reading the script. Director Doudou (director Niu Chengze) directly said that he was "with seeds". "Sometimes this is done because of trust in certain directors and teams. Some people will never harm you, just like your own family, you will have complete trust in him." "Not afraid of not being able to play this role well?" "Of course I will be afraid, but with such a director in front to check, he will not let you go if you can’t play well, and he will never let his play go badly!" He laughed playfully, as if he had succeeded in "plotting" Director Doudou.

  "Paradise in the Army" is Mr. Ruan’s most recent collaboration with Mr. Dou, and his first film since leaving the army, because Mr. Dou is Mr. Ruan’s "most important person" in the film.

  The filming process was not easy, and Ruan Jingtian often struggled on the verge of breaking the dam emotionally. Watching "Lao Zhang" Chen Jianbin being captured but helpless, he could not promise a visible tomorrow to his lover. Xiao Bao, one of the thousands of recruits he plays, is wrapped up in the times and fate and has no way to fight back. In several scenes, Ruan Jingtian had to rely on the director’s help to hold back the tears that were about to flow. "Paradise in the Army is a painful and happy process for me. Sometimes it’s very torn, and sometimes I enjoy the feeling of being trapped in the character."

  For Mr. Ruan, the emotions he wants in every play to be real. Whether it’s the sibling relationship between Chen Yihan and Chen in "LOVE" or the brotherhood of the Prince Gang in "Monga", he has carried these emotions into his life without reservation. "The performance is not all real, but the emotions must come from the most authentic place."

  Learn to wait

  Waiting for the next big wave

  In the early hours of 2006, a slender shadow was speeding skating across the viaduct. Lin Yuxian, the filmmaker, and the cameraman kept their eyes on the camera, while the rest of the crew watched and listened. Their filming was not allowed, and they had to quickly evacuate once the police showed up.

  For the first-time filmmaker, it was probably the most memorable early morning of his life. "After that time, I thought making movies was a very fun thing for me." In the film’s debut film, "Exit 6," the film’s infinite creative and imaginative space helped him achieve childhood pranks such as hiding in tires and rolling downstairs, riding a trolley to shake his tail, and setting off firecrackers with his butt. Not only that, but the film also opened the door for Ethan to go to the big screen.

  In 2009, he met with Monga.

  Ruan Jingtian plays a super-intelligent, reserved and calm gangster He Tianyou ("monk") in the film. His extremely textured performance makes Chen Kexin praise "a superstar is born" and Woo Yusen sees "Chow Yun-fat in a young era". With this film, Ruan Jingtian runs like a dark horse into the competition for the best actor of the 47th Golden Horse Awards.

  His eyes widened, his sexy mouth held up a full "O", and his muscles stiffened for a moment. On November 20, 2010, when the camera gave a close-up of Ruan Jingtian at the 47th Golden Horse Awards ceremony, he used this expression to explain all his surprise. Although he said with a smile that "he had prepared his acceptance speech ten years ago", he was still stunned by this "happy lightning" in the face of the results of beating Wang Xueqi, Ni Dahong and Qin Hao by a large number of votes.

  Now talking about the little golden horse, Ruan Jingtian said jokingly: "That’s a trophy!" After a string of boy-like mischievous laughter, he turned indifferent ": In fact, at that age, getting that award was very stressful. I was lost for a while because I didn’t know what to do to qualify for it. Looking back, I found that you don’t have to do anything to qualify for it, because when you gave it back then, it means you have been there before, and you don’t have to copy it every time. As long as you do your best to do every performance after that, you can slowly learn to live peacefully with pressure and emotions."

  Ruan Jingtian, who came out of the misty forest brought by the "Best Actor", saw more possibilities in himself in "Detective Runaway". "During filming, Director Luo Zhuoyao showed us German silent films. At first I was confused, but after seeing the editing of the movie, I could probably understand it." However, he did not shy away from admitting that "these are still difficult for me to understand, but it is a good experience, which makes me feel that I can slowly play in black humor."

  Ruan Jingtian, who found himself with countless possibilities in the role, never said "I don’t really like this job, I plan when to retire every day and live a so-called free life". As he grew older and experienced, he began to think more and have more confidence in this job, and at the same time, he asked himself to be "a good actor".

  "Every director, whether commercial or artistic, as long as you are soft, as long as you are willing to listen, he will always bring you something. For actors, this will make you more able to adapt to every director." Time has taught Ethan Ruan to accumulate thick hair. He can shoot a shot 20 times in the new film "New York New York" to try to be closer to the psychological changes of the characters; he can also seize the three or four precious opportunities given by director Liu Weiqiang in "Blood Drops" to show what the director wants to see the most in the fastest but most accurate state.

  Before the accumulation had reached a qualitative change, Ethan Ruan also had a long and difficult time. However, his favorite surfing taught him to persevere and wait.

  "The spirit of surfing is to wait. The experience of life is a lot like surfing. No one is always on the high and no one is always on the low. Learn to live with the low tide and wait for the point to come up. Learn to wait instead of picking up the board and going home. When you get home you don’t have the next wave. Wait, maybe five minutes, maybe an hour, but you have to wait."

  Taiwan movie story

  From Niu Chengze to Hou Hsiao-hsien, Ruan Jingtian has worked with these two standard-bearers in the Taiwanese film industry.

  Doudao Niu Chengze has accompanied Ruan Jingtian all the way from counting steel coins to buying bento to today. In Ruan Jingtian’s eyes, he is not only a "guide", "life mentor", "friend who can scold him as a dog", but also like a "father".

  At the 50th anniversary ceremony of the 2013 Golden Horse Awards, Ethan said that he was sick and left the table early. Niu Chengze, who was watching the live broadcast, was trembling with anger and smashed the remote control in his hand against the TV. At the time, the crew was rushing to shoot "Paradise in the Army", but Niu Chengze turned a blind eye to Ethan for two weeks. During this time, even if he gave a play to the actors, he only passed the message to Ethan through the assistant director. This "strict father" punishment made Ethan realize the seriousness of his mistake.

  Director Hou Hsiao-hsien feels completely different from Director Dou. "One is like grandpa and the other is like dad. Director Dou is very demanding, but for me he is the most important person. Because many times his requirements for acting will allow me to go to a state I did not expect and unknown, rather than staying in a place I know. Of course, it is not just the pressure of working with Director Dou. In the face of some directors who have high requirements for acting, it is impossible for me to bring ordinary things to satisfy them. They are like the most tricky guests, and sometimes even the color and fragrance of reason cannot satisfy them. You have to do your best and spend a little ingenuity to meet their requirements."

  "Chef" Ruan Jingtian arrived in front of the director Hou Hsiao-hsien, obviously with more freedom to play. "It’s a very comfortable state. Because he has no restrictions on what the actor should do, it gives you a huge imagination. For me, this experience is very special. In fact, it was not suitable at first, and in the end, I miss every shot directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien. You will really want to work with him again and bring him something different. Working with him is a great experience!"

  Nine years, 13 films, 10 films directed by Taiwanese directors, Ethan has an almost persistent love for Taiwanese films. Commemorative growth and local stories are the eternal melodies of Taiwanese films in his heart. "Monga" is a typical Taiwanese film about growth in Ethan’s eyes. Brothers, fate, youth and injuries in growth make Taiwanese films that inspire youth have a sadness that shines through tomorrow. And Taiwan’s story is not just a story of growth but also a story of life. "Shanghai, Beijing, New York, Taipei, these big cities are very similar. People from all over the world take root in the local leaves and develop their own unique way of life."

  It takes fear to be brave

  Ruan Jingtian’s own Weibo profile is: a timid and brave ordinary person.

  He was timid. "When you ask me to jump from five or six floors on a wire, it’s a fool to say that I’m not afraid. Of course I’m afraid, but I have a reason to do it, so I have to be brave. Because being afraid is the only way to be brave."

  More often, he is willing to stay at home and spend time with his two cats in the safest place. One of them rubbed Ethan’s trousers at the Taichung night market, and finally impressed Ethan, who raised a dog, before being driven away for the third time.

  Now that the 12-year-old cat was old and frail, Ruan Jingtian smiled and said that he had become a veterinarian who gave injections to cats every day. But on second thought, thinking of the cat who had been with him for many years, "If something happens, it will die", a trace of gentle concern and sadness showed in his eyes.

  He loves silence and also enjoys limits.

  "What’s your biggest impression of surfing?" he asked excitedly of his hobby. "Summer, the beach, a bikini?" The question caught him off guard.

  "Haha, but, did you know, Taiwan only has waves in winter!" The slyness in his eyes poured out, as if announcing a shocking secret. "The waves usually appear before 9 o’clock in the morning, mostly between 4 and 6 o’clock. So get up early and go into the water when it’s very cold. It’s hot at noon, and there are no waves, so you can only sleep. So when you actually do something, you will find that it is different from everyone’s stereotypes."

  Racing is another passion of Ethan Ethan’s. Like many young boys, he has loved racing since he was a child and has been playing with it for seven or eight years since he grew up. In the last two years, he has participated in car racing and won two annual championships. "Racing and acting can put people in a tight environment. You can’t go wrong a lot of the time, because many good shots can only be shot once. In such a tense and precise moment, you have to be very subtle and careful to control every movement of your body, every expression, and cooperate with everyone. The same is true of racing. It’s not about who is faster, but who makes fewer mistakes." He was personally involved in every aspect of car repair, setting up, and practicing, because in his opinion: "You have to be serious about playing! Because if you are not serious, you will not be happy."

  Recently, the topic of Ruan Jingtian’s relationship has attracted people’s attention. He interacted calmly with netizens on Weibo, and the comments were polarized. Some people praised him Man, while others laughed and scolded him. He said that "this matter is unique and will not appear again in the future." Even if the problem was not originally planned, Ruan Jingtian did not shy away from his most natural emotions at this moment, as he said: "At first you were not wary, the reporter editor asked your girlfriend, and you would say it. But later found that what you said would follow you like a shadow, which is a very annoying thing. Emotions are private, like closing the door when going to the toilet." And his ideal love and family life is like his grandparents, not the passion and ups and downs of the two, but the peace of the years.

  At the end of the shooting, he signed for the studio. Ruan – Jing – Tian, the rounded corners, the word "Tian" one stroke and one stroke, the willful length of "two legs", Xiao Tian left the last stroke with boyish wanton and innocence. The sun, the moon, the rivers, the river of time flows, initializing the once rampage, Ruan Jingtian’s charm as a man has just revealed a corner.

Di Lizheba is pregnant again? The paparazzi claims to have evidence in hand, who did she provoke with the black material?

However, how could the online melon eaters let it go so easily? Soon after, many details gradually became apparent to people.

Famous paparazzi unknown

First of all, let’s take a look at this well-known paparazzi. His name on social media is "Yu Xiaodong", and he claims to be the "first insider in the entertainment industry". He often reveals many insider and revelations about the entertainment industry on social media.

However, the authenticity of the content of his revelations was very random. In the words of netizens, Yu Xiaodong’s revelations were an opening picture. The content depended entirely on guessing.

For example, when he broke the news about Xiao Zhan and Di Lizheba’s relationship, he had just released an intimate photo of the two people on his front foot, but he was falsified and said that the photo was a composite. Therefore, in general, this Yuxiaodong was not reliable, not even famous.

However, this time was different from usual. This Yu Xiaodong claimed that he had evidence of two people together, which made many people decide to see what the evidence was. As a result, they were all stunned by the operation of this Yu Xiaodong.

Evidence of Yuxiaodong

We need to know that although Di Lizheba and Huang Jingyu were rumored to have an affair, their last open and honest interaction was during the filming of the TV series "Hot Blood". At that time, the two people played a couple, which gave them a lot of cp fans.

At that time, there were voices who hoped that the two of them could make a pair in reality, but Huang Jingyu had just divorced at that time, and the relationship with his ex-wife was also very complicated, so the CP powder could only be ended in the end.

In addition, after Di Lizheba and Huang Jingyu finished filming the TV series, there was no interaction between them, and even the two sides did not publicly admit their love, nor did the reporter take pictures of the two of them meeting in private, so there was no sign of love between the two of them.

In addition, let’s take a look at Yu Xiaodong’s revelation that he said that Di Lizheba’s due date is October this year, which proves that Di Lizheba was conceived in January, but from January to October, Di Lizheba did not show any signs of pregnancy.

Moreover, her studio has also refuted rumors many times that Di Lizheba is not pregnant at all. Everything is a rumor. Of course, the so-called evidence with Yu Xiaodong has not been shown to people until now.

It’s not the first time Di Lizheba has been rumored to be pregnant

In fact, the news about Di Lizheba’s pregnancy and childbirth was not the first time it had been mentioned. As early as the end of last year, the media broke the news of Di Lizheba’s pregnancy, but in fact, this matter had to start from last year.

At that time, Entertainment News broke the news of Di Lizheba’s pregnancy, which caused a heated debate. Then many people began to search for evidence of Di Lizheba’s pregnancy. During that time, Di Lizheba seemed to have vanished from the public’s field of vision.

You must know that Di Lizheba is a famous workaholic, but after the second half of 2022, her work seemed to be completely put on hold. Not only did she not enter the group for several months, but she did not even participate in some daily fashion activities.

Fans who watched this situation gradually began to believe this rumor, but Di Lizheba’s studio and herself quickly responded to the controversy with a set of photos, only to be exposed by netizens as old pictures. For a while, the voice of public opinion grew louder and louder.

In addition, the background of Di Lizheba’s photo was very similar to the background of Huang Jingyu’s photo before, so the news that Di Lizheba and Huang Jingyu were together for a while quickly hit the hot search.

At that time, almost all the fans asked Di Lizheba’s studio to respond to this matter and asked the studio to post photos to prove his innocence. There was no way the studio could only arrange a live broadcast for Di Lizheba to appear in the camera.

Then he asked Di Lizheba to take a few selfie photos after the live broadcast, using action to break the pregnancy rumors. At this point, Di Lizheba’s pregnancy storm was over.

However, just two months after this incident, this matter once again ushered in a reversal. This time, a blogger known as Super Photography Yangyang posted a photo of Di Lizheba at the airport and said with certainty that Di Lizheba was pregnant.

In his photos, it is not difficult to find that Di Lizheba’s whole person does look bloated, much like she is pregnant, but it may also be a matter of dress, after all, it was winter at the time, and wearing thicker clothes was a given.

Afterwards, the reporter said that when she was in the live stream, Di Lizheba was already pregnant, but the month was a little smaller, so Di Lizheba’s appearance would be more normal, but as the month gradually increased, it was impossible for her to hide this matter from the public.

In addition, the paparazzi also forwarded Huang Jingyu’s Weibo to celebrate his birthday. At that time, Huang Jingyu wrote on Weibo that the upgrade was successful, which made people think that the blogger was implying that the father of the child was Huang Jingyu.

In addition, many entertainment records have posted videos and pictures of Huang Jingyu and Di Lizheba meeting in private, but the two are bitten to death and unwilling to admit their love affair.

However, this time, there was no movement in Di Lizheba’s studio. Only some fans kept speaking out for Di Lizheba.

And some fans said that the reason why Di Lizheba did not participate in the event these days was mainly because almost all the veteran artists of Jiaxing Media had left, leaving only Di Lizheba who stayed in Jiaxing because the contract had not expired.

Now Jiaxing wanted Di Li Reba to bring the newcomers and make some bad movies that could make people show their faces so that they could be known by the public, even if they were familiar with each other, but Di Li Reba refused to agree, so he broke up with the company.

Just as everyone was scrambling to speculate on the matter, Di Lizheba and Huang Jingyu’s studio suddenly issued a document expressing doubts about the matter, saying that they had sued the publisher of the matter, and the court had ruled that the matter was defamation.

This also made many fans feel relieved, but in fact, most of them were still very dissatisfied with this. They felt that the studio’s statement was too perfunctory. Instead of issuing this statement, it was better to directly tell the fans that they were single, not married, not pregnant, and had no children.

But in fact, through this incident, we have learned some facts, that is, the news of Di Lizheba’s pregnancy is false, and secondly, this incident is by no means as simple as imagined.

Looking back at the first half of this year, Di Lizheba was definitely the worst one among the artists who were dogged by internal entertainment.

Di Lizheba keeps getting dirty, who did she offend?

In a recent live broadcast, Teacher Jinxing was on full fire. She said during the live broadcast that some celebrities participated in an award to reveal a deep V, and they even covered it with their hands. Then don’t wear it, what are you wearing it for?

Although Teacher Jinxing was just stating the facts, soon some fans of the star began to take their seats and go to Jinxing’s social platform to abuse her.

It’s just that Teacher Jinxing didn’t get used to this group of fans. Instead, he said that he was right and would never apologize. He even said that such people are afraid that the poor will see them and the rich will not see them.

This sentence directly woke up many viewers. Most people felt that this sentence was crude, but it was indeed a bit too extreme.

After that, some people pointed out that the star of Jinxing was Di Lizheba, and we can see that she really covers her chest all the time after watching the video.

But in fact, we carefully imagine that most of this dress is actually prepared by the company. Even if Di Lizheba doesn’t want to wear it, she can’t refuse. After all, the contract is there, so no matter how hard it is to blame the artist.

It’s just that Di Lizheba has indeed had a lot of black fans these years, but the main reason for this is that she is actually very similar to her senior sister Yang Mi, that is, her works are really not good, but she still has to praise them.

You must know that although today’s entertainment industry is an era where traffic is king, whether it is the first generation of traffic king Luhan or other top-tier players after that, they have all lived through the scolding.

But in the end, they all used their works to gradually improve their reputation. The most representative of them was Zhu Yilong, who had successfully completed the transformation from traffic to power through a series of well-known movies.

Actors are the people who perform, and the best way for an actor to get rid of their own shackles is to work, and Di Lizheba’s biggest problem now is that the work is not good, and there are no awards to win.

The only Golden Eagle Award mentioned was won for a bad movie "Pretty Li Huizhen", and she even got the title of Queen of Water for it.

In fact, looking back at Di Lizheba’s work in the past few years, it is not difficult to find that although she is known as a work madman, her focus does not seem to be on acting, but more in variety shows and live broadcasts.

Just like the pregnancy incident mentioned earlier, the reason why she was rumored to be honest was because she had a period of absence. At that time, some people suspected that she was not unable to work, but that not many directors were willing to use her.

Because she has been playing the same type of role in the past few years, basically only fans will pay for such a movie. Once fans are unwilling to approve, the show is doomed to not achieve any good results.

And we can also see that Di Lizheba seems to have fallen into a vicious circle in recent years. In addition to not having good works, her team is also very enthusiastic about promoting CP and popularity.

Xiang Wu Lei, Hu Ge, Luhan, and other artists have all become the object of Di Lizheba’s scandal, and even this matter was later affectionately called Jiu Zi Duo Di.

Of course, most of these are not Di Lizheba’s original intentions, but the company’s settings for her. In fact, she is not the only one. Yang Mi’s situation back then was very similar to hers.

Therefore, today’s Di Lizheba should also start to consider transformation. Instead of being a top-class female who relies on traffic, it is better to be an actress who wins with strength.

summarize

As an actor, acting is the true root. Only when acting skills come up will people pay more attention to your acting skills rather than your life.

Chen Edison talks about pornographic photos again: In terms of sex, I am not wrong

  Edison Chen looked serious, "I deeply think that this happened because I didn’t understand it exactly, and I came to a lot of conclusions. I didn’t take into account the whole environment, I only took into account myself, misjudged the environment, and didn’t respect the local culture where I live and make a living." Edison Chen continued to explain: "Having sex all over the world happens behind closed doors. I don’t think I did anything particularly wrong in that situation. The only thing I did wrong was the way I handled the incident in that cultural context. Maybe that’s a bit direct, but in terms of sex, I don’t think I was wrong."

Satellites are still "weaving webs" in the Beidou era, it will take time

  People who live in big cities feel like they can’t walk if they go out without mobile phone navigation. What makes people even more intolerable is the blind guidance of stupid navigation. "I always quarrel with navigation, so angry that I can’t even drop my phone." Some netizens said.

  "The navigation function can be accurate to within 1 meter, and it can clearly locate the specific lane…" Recently, a news of "Beidou Map APP is expected to be launched on May 1" quickly exploded Moments. The report pointed out that this is a basic location-based service tool based on Beidou satellite precision navigation services, which can provide mobile, real-time positioning and navigation as well as location-based clothing, food, housing, transportation and business information services for the majority of users.

  In this regard, some netizens expressed extreme excitement, "Amazing, my Beidou". Others said, "Farewell, Americans’ GPS". However, some people expressed doubts, what is the relationship between the Beidou map APP and Beidou navigation? Beidou has entered people’s lives from "news" so quickly?

  The Beidou system cannot produce electronic maps

  "The Beidou Map APP is not directly related to the Beidou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) in nature. The Beidou Map APP is a mobile application end point software similar to Autonavi Maps and Baidu Maps. As for whether the map end point software displays the positioning results of GPS or the positioning results of BDS, it depends on the hardware configuration of the end point such as the mobile phone and the navigator." On April 13, Dr. Wang Yongquan, chairperson of the Shanghai Sinan Satellite Navigation Technology joint stock company, said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Science and Technology Daily.

  In this regard, Cao Chong, chief scientist of the China Satellite Navigation and Positioning Association, said that the Beidou system is indeed related to the navigation electronic map, because the use of the Beidou system positioning function to achieve navigation must be expressed in the form of a map. However, the formulation of the Beidou map is questionable. Because whether the Beidou system or the GPS system is used, the same map is used, and there is no Beidou map.

  On the difference between the Beidou system and Baidu and Autonavi, Xu Ying, a researcher at the Institute of Optoelectronics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a young scientist of the Beidou system, introduced that the Beidou system and GPS are both global satellite navigation and positioning systems, generally composed of satellites, ground stations and user end points, which mainly provide location information, especially three-dimensional information such as longitude, latitude and altitude. Baidu, Autonavi, etc. are map software, which mainly provide location-based value-added services, such as displaying location, planning routes, providing congestion conditions, etc. Its core is maps, which require many means when drawing, such as remote sensing satellites, map observation vehicles, drone observations, etc.

  "The Beidou system is a navigation system. Baidu or Autonavi can use the positioning results of the Beidou system to output the location. The two are not on the same level at all. As for the Beidou map APP, it may just be called Beidou map, just like the Ursa Major map and the Ursa Minor map, and it has nothing to do with the Beidou satellite navigation system." Xu Ying said.

  Seeing this news, the Beidou editor of the WeChat official account of China’s Beidou satellite navigation system couldn’t sit still. On April 10, the Beidou editor refuted rumors through the WeChat official account that the functions of the Beidou system are positioning, navigation, timing, and short messages. Electronic maps like Baidu and Autonavi only involve the positioning function of the Beidou system and its derivative location-based service function. As for the core map images in these electronic maps, which involve remote sensing satellites to obtain images and other technical means, it really has nothing to do with the Beidou system. "In other words, the Beidou system can only provide certain technical support for electronic maps, and if the Beidou system produces an electronic map, it is really impossible for the concubine to do it!" The Beidou editor "cried".

  All major satellite navigation systems are compatible with each other

  At present, there are four major satellite navigation systems in the world, GPS in the United States, GLONASS (GLONASS) in Russia, BDS (Beidou) in China and Galileo (Galileo) in the European Union. Experts say that if you have to say the difference between Beidou and GPS, it is that "Beidou is its own, GPS is American".

  As a satellite navigation system independently developed by our country, Beidou Navigation has gone through 24 years since the project was established in 1994. In 2012, the Beidou-2 system successfully launched the 16th satellite. Two months later, the system was officially put into operation, and the service area covered the Asia-Pacific. At present, Beidou positioning has entered the third stage. A total of 31 satellites have been launched, and it is expected that 35 satellites will be launched around 2020 to meet the global user service mainly in Asia.

  "From a technical point of view, the Beidou navigation system is very advanced. What GPS can do, the Beidou system can also do it; what GPS can’t do, the Beidou system can still do it." Wang Dacheng, head of the Smart City Engineering Department of the Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said proudly.

  However, even so, the Beidou editor also said in the WeChat official account of China’s Beidou satellite navigation system that the so-called "no GPS, only Beidou" in many coverage "does not exist". Now satellite navigation applications are basically multi-mode. That is to say, in order to give users a better experience, major satellite navigation systems are compatible and complementary to each other, so that users can enjoy uninterrupted positioning services. Beidou editor applauds everyone’s patriotism, but has to tell you the truth realistically.

  Moreover, the Beidou system has been adhering to the concept of "China’s Beidou, the world’s Beidou" since the beginning of its construction. The Beidou system is an open and inclusive system, and is willing to work with satellite navigation systems around the world to benefit mankind and serve the world. At present, the Beidou system has been compatible and interoperable with GPS and GLONASS systems. Therefore, when you use related satellite navigation applications in the future, you should receive more system signals with higher accuracy.

  Wang Yongquan said that the navigation precision claimed by the Beidou Map APP only means that the map itself may be more fine and accurate, not just using BDS and saying goodbye to GPS. In the future, various navigation end points or professional equipment can use the signals of multiple satellite navigation systems at the same time, realize multi-system joint positioning or navigation, and provide users with more accurate and reliable positioning results. Compared with the GPS system, BDS also has a message service function. The user end point of the Beidou system has a two-way message communication function. Users can transmit 40-60 Chinese characters of message information at a time. This function can provide certain communication services in some special environments.

  Empowering urban management to bring convenience to life

  In fact, Beidou has been widely used in the field of industry and national defense, such as: precision surveying and mapping, power timing, intelligent driving test, precision agriculture, and new drones and smart cars. The centimeter-level high-precision positioning end point based on the Beidou satellite navigation system is playing an irreplaceable important "role". The short message service of the Beidou system can send its location to the outside world when the base station is damaged and there is no signal. This won precious time for the golden rescue in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake.

  "In the next three years, more end points such as mobile phones, bicycles, and wearable devices will use Beidou high-precision positioning services, empowering city management and bringing convenience to people’s lives." Industry insiders predict.

  In the opinion of Peng Ling, a researcher at the Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beidou satellites need to be widely used, and the cost is still relatively high, and the performance stability needs to be further improved. Some industry insiders say that taking the chip as an example, due to manufacturing process problems, if the GPS chip is 10 yuan, the Beidou chip is 30 yuan. Enterprises need to control costs. If they want to mass-produce Beidou chips, how many companies are willing to spend more than 20 yuan?

  Then there is the downstream user end. Although many Android brand mobile phones, especially domestic mobile phones, such as OPPO, vivo, Huawei, and Xiaomi, have been able to support the Beidou navigation system in recent years, Apple mobile phones, which account for a large share of the smartphone market, still do not support it. This may lead to embarrassing situations such as domestic mobile phones that cannot be used abroad where the Beidou navigation system is not yet covered, or Apple mobile phones are not suitable.

  In this regard, Wang Yongquan seems more optimistic, "Take the public navigation as an example, most of the mobile phones and car navigation devices we use now support the joint behavior of GPS and BDS at the same time, but users can’t feel it, and many people will not care which satellite system is used for navigation." Wang Yongquan said, "By 2020, with the completion of the global network of BDS, BDS will be fully compatible with GPS, GLONASS and Galileo systems, and it will definitely be more widely used around the world."

  In the past two years, the domestic new energy market has seen explosive growth, and it seems that every manufacturer is launching sub-brands and new series to cope with the electrification tide. In 2022,Sales of new energy vehicles in China reached 5.674 million units (Passenger Federation), an increase of 90% year-on-year.But the penetration rate is only 27.6%, still has a considerable market capacity. Geely’s total sales in 2022 are 1.433 million, new energy vehicle sales are 328,700, and the penetration rate exceeds 30% in many months. Compared with many brands focusing on the new energy market, it is not cheap.

  Take a look at BYD, which has been "surging" all the way, and then look at the new forces that used to be regarded as "inferior horses". The new energy tide has broken through the hearts of many users. Faced with this situation, traditional car brands have more or less expressed their eagerness to embrace electrification. For example, Great Wall will launch more than 10 new energy models in 2023. For example, SAIC Motor Group has set a sales target of 1.50 million new energy vehicles. Behind the exaggerated numbers is the intense hand-to-hand combat under the new energy tide. Even if we are not in it, we can still feel the tragedy.

  At the press conference, the Galaxy L7, the first model of the Galaxy series, made its debut and started booking at the same time. The new car will be delivered in the second quarter and will be used as a Torch Relay car for the Hangzhou Asian Games. The new car is a plug-in hybrid SUV model, focusing on long cruising range. In terms of appearance, the Galaxy L7 creates a relatively full shape, with a lot of curves in the front part of the car, and the details are also the mainstream style trend of current new energy vehicles. The side lines use a similar slip-back design, but it is not very inclined, so the head space for the rear row is not affected by the shape.

  In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4700mmX1905mmX1685mm, and the wheelbase is 2785mm, which is the size of a compact SUV. It is close to the size of BYD Song PLUS and Honda CR-V. For an ordinary family of three, practicality is guaranteed. In addition, the door does not use the hidden door handle that some new energy brands prefer. From the experience of previous winter tests, this traditional door handle will lose some of the overall feeling of the door, but it is convenient to pull, and it can also reduce the possibility of being frozen to death in extreme environments. The rear of the car adopts a through-type tail light, which is also the most mainstream style at present. The simple rear is clearly layered, and the two-color guard at the bottom makes it more visually eye-catching.

  For the most important chip of a smart car, the Galaxy L7 has an 8155 chip, which also allows the Galaxy N OS system to be used for faster and smoother control and improved user experience. The boot speed, application response speed and Keyword Spotting speed are all agile. In the field of intelligent driving, the "heaven and earth integrated" version of Galaxy Smart Driving solution based on Geely Satellite will be launched soon. At present, Galaxy Smart Driving can stop in time in the face of stationary targets when cruising at a high speed of 90km/h; Geely Star Smart Computing Center can simulate 100,000 kilometers of intelligent driving behavior training in 1 day, combined with intelligent network professional test field and actual road test, to meet the L3 global certification standard.

In terms of performance, it also has remarkable performance, accelerating from 0 to 100km/h in 7.5 seconds, and in the case of power loss, the official average fuel consumption level can also reach 5.23L/100km.

● How does Geely Galaxy sell? – New channel + new ecology, online and offline service integration

  As a new mid-to-high-end new energy series, Geely Galaxy will create a new channel ecosystem. Among them, the new channel will have two models of "direct connection to users" and "agent distribution", which will make orders online, make prices more transparent and direct, and avoid the price chaos that once plagued everyone.

Geely Automobile, Galaxy L7 2023, plug-in hybrid, basic type

  On the offline side, Geely Galaxy will provide "experience" and "delivery" services, and will lay direct experience stores in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen. It is reported that 350-450 experience stores will be established in 2023, and the number of Geely Galaxy experience stores will reach 650 in the future.

  In addition, Geely will also introduce new user experience and service standards. For example, at the after-sales services level, Geely Galaxy will set 247 new standards; at the same time, Geely Galaxy will also create a new app to open a new channel for users to communicate online, and you can also find interested communities in the app; it is worth mentioning that half of the space in Geely Galaxy’s offline stores will be set aside to provide users with more experience and create a "user space". This user ecosystem seems to be quite popular in the current new energy market. In addition to changing to online services, services also pay more attention to users’ sense of experience and belonging.

● Geely Galaxy’s Prospect Analysis – Can You Really "Look Up at the Galaxy"?

  The establishment of a new product series often has a clear purpose. Geely has obviously paved the way for Galaxy, and the geometric brand has returned to Geely, focusing on the entry-level mass market, and has entrusted the mid-to-high-end new energy series to Galaxy. Perhaps, just like Dynasty and Ocean Network to BYD, Galaxy not only represents a new product series, but will also become a label existence in the future.

  In 2022, Geely’s new energy vehicle sales 328,700, compared to 2021 tripled, better than the average growth rate of the industry, without the Galaxy is still the case, with the arrival of the Galaxy, combined with the new energy penetration rate in 2023 or more than 30%, although the new energy track is crowded, but it has left a relatively open space for the Galaxy to play.

  Of course, from the perspective of the first model launched by Galaxy, the Galaxy L7 is positioned as a compact SUV, with a long range, equipped with a new generation of Raytheon electric hybrid technology, equipped with 3 DHT Pro variable frequency electric drive, and using the P1 + P2 scheme, it can not only assist in driving, but also drive independently. The acceleration from 0 to 100km/h is 7.5 seconds. In the case of power loss, the official average fuel consumption level can also reach 5.23L/100km.

  Judging from these data, Galaxy, which is positioned as "mid-to-high-end", is not eager to challenge higher-level fields, but starts with the "unavoidable choice" – the compact SUV market. This level is also the most difficult market segment. BYD Song PLUS New Energy, Haval H6 (PHEV version has been launched), Changan CS75 PLUS (intelligent iDD version will be launched soon) and other powerful products are eyeing. Looking at the sales rankings for nearly half a year, the former ace players under overseas brands have almost been squeezed out of the top five. Are overseas brands panicking? Perhaps the news of Toyota’s bZ4X price reduction not long ago is a very objective answer, which is enough to see that the rules of the game in the domestic market have really changed.

  Using the game as a comparison, each version update will have a corresponding "version of the child" birth, the former strong hero may be reduced to a sewer character, version abandoned child. As a product of new rules and new versions, we seem to have reason to believe that, combined with the latest trends and user preferences in the current market, coupled with Geely’s understanding of the domestic market over the years, Galaxy will definitely follow the trend and show some strength; as for what height can be reached, it is worth looking forward to.

  Internally, Geely Galaxy seems to be facing some problems as well. Don’t forget that Geely Group also holds hands such as Lynk & Co, Extreme Krypton, Extreme Star, Volvo, and even Lotus. According to the brand positioning and product price range currently given, Geely Galaxy series products are likely to overlap with these brands in the future. At that time, how to form a differentiated style with them? Presumably this is a big question in the hearts of many friends.

"Site map of Geely’s internal communication meeting"

  In the previous internal communication meeting, I also discussed this issue with manufacturers, and finally came to the conclusion that there are various consumer groups in the market, and different product types and design concepts can be used to attract different audiences. To give a more practical example, when the Lynk & Co or even the JK brand was just born, it also had some price overlap with the products of the Geely brand, but now, these contradictions about price overlap do not seem to have been transferred to the final choice of users. All in all, products at the same price and positioning can win the favor of users with different needs through different design concepts, configuration performance, etc. Therefore, friends who are worried about Geely Galaxy’s "involution" are completely unnecessary.

Editor’s summary:

  At the end of the article, I would like to say some digressions. Previously, Geely Galaxy released a poster, which triggered a wave of heated discussions. "Galaxy, the starry sky that everyone looks up to", the breadth and depth of Chinese immediately reminded us of the high-end brand Look Up released by BYD before, and then many Chinese brands such as Look Up, Changan Deep Blue, Haval, Lantu, Changan, Dongfeng, etc. released warm-up posters one after another. This wave of collective fighting has gone beyond the scope of marketing, and even made me feel inexplicably moved.

  In the past, such a scene may have only appeared on those so-called "tall" overseas brands, the most classic of which was the flirting and falling in love and killing of the BBA troika. Now, Chinese brands have also begun to do the same in the new energy market, and instead of arousing users’ resentment, they are viewed with a peaceful and even slightly proud attitude. This not only shows the confidence of the brand, but also seems to represent the rise of a new power and the germination of a new culture. Perhaps, seeing a beautiful and appropriately warm-up poster, many friends will feel a sense of relief that "their children have finally become talents".

Autohome

  Finally, a very interesting quote was posted during the hot discussion of the poster: "Whether it is’looking up at the Milky Way ‘,’ the deep blue ‘,’ the vast universe ‘,’ the Milky Way Yaoguang ‘or’the sea of stars’, the Chinese car brands born under the red flag, everyone has a bright future."

Hengchi 5 rushed offline, Hengda returned to blood?

(Text/Zhang Jiadong, Editor/Ma Yuanyuan)

Hengda, the real estate leader at its peak, has suddenly encountered "Waterloo" after the real estate industry was cold last year. As of September this year, 38 of Hengda’s 706 guaranteed real estate projects across the country have not resumed work.

Although Evergrande recently announced that the hearing of its liquidation petition will be postponed until November 2022, the market and Evergrande need good news.

According to Hengda’s official information, on September 16, Hengchi 5, the first model of Hengchi Automobile, was officially mass-produced at the Tianjin factory and began offline delivery in October.

In early 2019, in response to the rising tide of new energy in China, Hengda began to lay out the new energy automobile industry. But at the beginning of its establishment, Hengchi Automobile did not go well. According to the 2020 financial report, "Hengda Automobile", which was renamed from "Hengda Health", had revenue of 15.487 billion yuan that year, but of which revenue such as health care and medical beauty accounted for nearly 99%. New energy vehicle services such as lithium battery sales, technical services, and auto component sales contributed only 1%.

This data is completely different from Hengda’s investment in the new energy automobile industry. According to the management of Hengchi Automobile, as of March 2021, the company’s cumulative investment in the new energy automobile industry has exceeded 47.40 billion yuan. However, Hengchi Automobile has always attributed the company’s losses to the fact that it has not yet entered the mass production delivery period, so it cannot recover the upfront investment cost.

In August 2020, Hengchi released six products at one time, covering all levels from A to D, across the coupe, sedan, SUV, MPV, crossover and other market segments, and simultaneously announced its own layout in power batteries, electric drive systems, intelligent networking and autonomous driving.

Entering 2021, Hengda’s car manufacturing business began to accelerate. In February, Hengchi conducted a three-week winter calibration test in Yakeshi, Hulunbuir, and three new models of Hengchi 7, Hengchi 8, and Hengchi 9 were officially released. In March, Hengchi Automobile announced the establishment of a joint venture with Tencent to jointly develop an in-vehicle intelligent operating system with independent intellectual property rights. On March 25, Hengchi Automobile joined hands with Tencent and Baidu to jointly build the H-SMART OS Hengchi Intelligent Networking System, which took one year and 11 months to develop.

In order to make up for its own gap in the automotive industry, Hengchi Automobile has introduced more than 2,000 international top scientific research talents in three years, established the Global Research Institute and the Global Battery Research Institute. Adopting a global integrated research and development model, introducing international advanced technologies, and working with world-class leaders such as Magna and EDAC to jointly develop models.

If it weren’t for the sudden "rout" in the real estate market, Hengchi Automobile should have started its own marketization road earlier. However, it is precisely because of the collapse of the pillar industry that Hengchi Automobile, as the group’s largest investment in recent years and the project closest to marketization, has been regarded by the outside world as the biggest blood bag for Evergrande to stop losses and recover.

Hengchi 5 Single Rider Savior

In January this year, Hengchi Automobile announced that the first car of Hengchi 5 was officially launched, 12 days earlier than originally planned, becoming the first model of Hengchi Automobile to go into mass production. Half a year later, under the pressure of a broken capital chain, Hengchi Automobile officially announced the news of the pre-sale of Hengchi 5 and began to enter the market.

Now that the mass production of Hengchi 5 is offline in the Tianjin factory, it not only breaks the rumors that the Tianjin factory is shut down, but also pushes Hengchi further into the "examination room".

From full category coverage to three years of sharpening a sword, the birth of Hengchi 5 was accompanied by Hengda’s helplessness in the capital chain, but it also demonstrated Hengda’s emphasis on new energy vehicles.

Three years ago, when Xu Jiayin stepped into the automotive industry from real estate as a "little white", few people were optimistic about the future of Hengchi Automobile. Even if it took only one year to bring six concept cars to the stage, the industry still put words such as lack of heritage and sloppiness on the head of Hengchi Automobile.

However, when Hengchi 5 opened the pre-sale, the car circle has undergone a 180 ° change in the wind evaluation of this car. The pre-sale price of 179,000 yuan; the CLTC comprehensive battery life of 602km; the personalized intelligent cockpit design; the L2 + level intelligent driver assistance system; and the blessing of global leading suppliers such as Magna, EDAK, Bosch, etc., accurately cut into the pure electric SUV market positioning and product performance within 200,000 yuan, all showing the determination of Hengchi Automobile to fire the first shot.

Didi released a car rental big data report: the popularity of the Spring Festival rose by 30%, and the Lantern Festival increased by 10% year-on-year.

  CCTV News:Didi Chuxing today released the "2017 ****** Festival Car Rental Big Data Report" to reveal the characteristics ** self-driving travel during the ****** Festival. The report shows that the popularity ** car rentals during the ****** Festival holiday has risen by nearly 30% compared with half a month ago; northerners are more inclined to plan their itineraries in advance, such as Qingdao and *******, where more than 70% ** users book cars more than 10 days in advance. From the perspective ** user composition, the car rental group is dominated by men, and the younger age is becoming more and more significant. In January this year, men accounted for 84% ** car rental users, and the post-80s and post-90s accounted for 46.9% and 44.8% respectively, exceeding 90%.

  Car rental self-driving tours are becoming an important part of the National Spring Festival. According to Didi data, a large number of users chose to car rental self-driving tours during the Spring Festival in 2017. Its popularity began to heat up from the week before the Spring Festival. The holiday week was 29% higher than half a month ago, and the Lantern Festival still maintained a hot topic, an increase of 11% over the usual weekend. It can be seen that in addition to the long "driving period", many users chose to "leave early" or "return late" to avoid the travel peak.

  How long is the super long "driving period"? According to the big data of Didi Car Rental, a woman in Shanghai rented a car from January 12 to February 4, for a total of 23 days, which is the most time for renting a car in China during the Spring Festival this year. In addition, there are not a few rentals for more than 10 days, and it is speculated that the annual vacation is also used. However, most office workers still play until 7 days and 8 days. During the Spring Festival, orders with a rental time of 7 days and 8 days accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 33%.

  One of the characteristics of holiday car rentals is that there are many users who book cars in advance, which is the so-called "not moving first". Didi Chuxing car rental big data shows that people in northern cities are more inclined to plan their trips in advance. Take Beijing and Qingdao as an example, more than 70% of the people book car rentals more than 10 days in advance, while in southern cities such as Chengdu, Shenzhen, Wuhan, the proportion is around 55%.

  Where are the car rental people "lurking" during the ****** Festival? The answer is the airport, railway station and the program ape colony. Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenzhen and Qingdao have airports and railway stations on the list ** popular car rental areas, while *******, Shanghai, Shanghai Zhangjiang Hi-Tech and Wuhan Optics Valley are also quite popular. It can also be inferred that the program ape is one ** the main groups ** car rental, and there are many tourists from different places during the ****** Festival.

  From the perspective of first- and second-tier cities, in terms of the proportion of car rentals in different places during the Spring Festival, Didi big data shows that Chengdu, Qingdao and Shanghai have the highest. There are many tourist attractions in and around these cities, which attracts a large number of foreign tourists during the Spring Festival, and car rentals are also very popular. Especially in Chengdu, its delicious food in the city, the ancient towns in the suburbs and the beautiful scenery of Yunnan Road in western Sichuan have attracted many self-driving tour enthusiasts from other places. Remember the "Sichuan A Army" that captured Panzhihua, Xichang, western Sichuan and many places in Yunnan during the Spring Festival? Maybe there are also many foreign tourists who are to blame.

  In early January this year, Didi officially launched its overseas car rental business. Chinese users can rent a car abroad through the international version of Didi Car Rental. With the increasing number of outbound tourists, overseas car rentals have gradually become popular in some countries where intercity and intra-city public transportation is not convenient. According to Didi data, during the Spring Festival, Chinese people like to rent a car in the United States for self-driving trips. Among them, Los Angeles and San Francisco are the most popular overseas cities. The self-driving travel links between the two cities are also very close.

  It is conceivable that from San Francisco, along Highway 1 south to Los Angeles, or from Los Angeles north to San Francisco, the winding, hundreds of kilometers of coastal roads are breathtaking in epic grandeur.

  Didi data also shows that users in first- and second-tier cities prefer overseas car rental self-driving trips, with Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Hangzhou at the top.

  From the Spring Festival and the recent trend of the distribution of the attributes of Didi car rental users, the younger and masculine are obvious, accounting for about 90%. In January this year, 84% of car rental users were male; the post-80s and post-90s accounted for 46.9% and 44.8% respectively, adding up to more than 90%. However, this group of people is no stranger to self-driving travel, especially holiday travel. (CCTV reporter Liang Zhiwei)
