The acceleration of 100 kilometers is 3.9 seconds. How does BYD Han EV drive?

closefillIThe first time to share with you the hot spots in the automobile circle.

I have to say that when BYD Han just went public, many people were not very optimistic about it. After all, it was in the car segmentation field where its own brand had been weak, and it had a distance compared with Tesla and BBA in brand power. At the same time, pricing is also controversial.

Some netizens said: "Is BYD Han worth 219,800-279,500 yuan after subsidy?

Is the set price a little too floating?

The brain is crazy. Is it not fresh and fragrant to have the money to buy a Tesla?

This car is destined to be cool. "

However, in reality, BYD Han succeeded, and after three months of listing, BYD Han ushered in the first sales of more than 10,000. It can be said that BYD Han gave two big mouths to those who didn’t value it with real sales results. Yes! Byd Han not only didn’t get cold, but also climbed steadily.

According to the latest official sales data released by BYD in November, BYD Han sold a total of 10,105 vehicles in November, achieving a four-month sales increase, with a cumulative sales volume of 28,467 vehicles. Among them, BYD Han EV (parameter picture) sold 7,482 vehicles in November, ranking fourth in the sales list of new energy vehicles in November of china automobile dealers association Automobile Market Research Branch (Association); BYD Han DM also sold 2,623 vehicles in mid-November, up 5.3% from October. Judging from these sales figures, BYD Han really "went up". So why did it succeed? What are the core highlights? Just recently, the key gentleman participated in a deep test drive experience of "recalling Jiangnan" for BYD, and found some answers from it. Let’s go! Let’s take a look!

Full of Chinese style! The appearance is highly recognizable and differentiated.

Still as usual, let’s talk about the static part first. In this era of "looking at the face", not only people have to look at the face value, but even cars have to fight for the face value. In recent years, the post-90 s and post-00 s gradually replaced the post-70 s and post-80 s as the main group of consumers, and the personalized consumption characteristics of young people began to dominate the market changes. Therefore, the value of a car is good or bad, which can be said to play a decisive role in the process of consumers’ car selection.

After so many years of development, China’s automobile industry has become increasingly mature. While increasing the research and development of their own products, independent car manufacturers have also made great efforts in appearance value, striving to cater to the aesthetics of young consumers with the latest and most fashionable appearance design. Of course, BYD is the representative of this. Judging from the appearance of the models currently listed, the design style of BYD’s models is absolutely "fan".

Ok, the gossip is a little too much, so let’s get back to the topic! This time, the key test drive is a BYD Han EV four-wheel drive high-performance version of the flagship, with a price of 279,500 yuan and an acceleration of 3.9s seconds per 100 kilometers. When the key gentleman saw this car at first sight, the key gentleman was really amazed by its design. First of all, the first feeling it gave the key gentleman was that this BYD Han EV was very coupe-like, with a low posture and smooth lines. Interestingly, the overall design of this car is also full of Chinese style. Specifically, the front face of BYD Han EV adopts a closed and integrated front face, and a silver chrome-plated decorative strip is conspicuous at the grille of the front face, and the "Han" logo is also dotted in it, which also makes China elements more prominent. In addition, the shape of the headlight group is slender and sharp, and it looks more sci-fi and avant-garde with the streamlined body.

In addition to the attractive value of the front face, BYD Han EV also has a surprising part on the side of the car body. The side of the whole car body adopts a slip-back roof arc to make the car look more sporty. In addition, the design of the hidden handle highlights its sense of science and technology. During the experience, the key gentleman thinks that BYD has made this design very carefully, and the LOGO with the word "Han" is printed on the inside of the door handle, which is also very good in the process of pushing and retracting. It is worth mentioning that this car also supports NFC unlocking, and the sensing area is in the rearview mirror, which can support Huawei mobile phone unlocking and binding. At this point, the key gentleman thinks it is very convenient for consumers.

In addition, the design of the tail shape of BYD Han EV is also very textured. The top corner of the trunk adopts a duck tail shape, and the popular through taillights are not absent. The design elements of the taillights are also used on both sides, which is highly recognizable after lighting. From the overall design point of view, the face value of BYD Han EV is very high, which is quite good in terms of atmosphere and durability, and there is actually a reason to have this face value.

It is reported that this design was jointly created by Wolfgang Eiger, former design director of Audi, JuanMa López, exterior design director of Ferrari, and Michele Jauch-Paganetti, former interior design director of Mercedes-Benz. It is not difficult to understand why BYD Han can have a highly recognizable and differentiated appearance with such a big-name designer.

The interior is both textured and advanced.

Press the car key lightly, and when you open the car door and enter the car, the electric seat and the electric steering wheel will move slowly. It can be said that the full sense of ceremony will burst out instantly, and the interior that gives the key gentleman the deepest feeling visually is the red and black collocation. It is worthy of recognition that this car has significantly improved the sense of texture and luxury compared with the previous BYD models. At the same time, the interior of the whole car is also decorated with many wood grains, which is very classy.

In terms of materials, BYD Han EV is also very sincere. For example, in terms of seats, BYD Han EV uses Nappa leather raw materials. It is reported that this is selected from cattle hide imported from Brazil and has been processed by more than 20 processes. The overall filler is also very soft and comfortable. At the same time, BYD Han EV is equipped with the function of seat ventilation, and the overall comfort is very good. From this point of view alone, BYD Han EV is much better than Model 3, which is criticized for its rough workmanship and poor materials.

In addition, the interior design of BYD Han EV has not only retained the family-style design, but also carried out many innovations. For example, the dashboard uses a large display screen and the latest DiLink 3.0 UI design, which is called the theme of "flowing". The central control rotating large screen is not absent from this BYD Han EV, with a size of 15.6 inches and a brand-new UI design. The display effect is very clear and delicate, and the fluency of use is also "smooth". In addition, it has functions such as car WIFI, OTA remote upgrade and split-screen display. It is worth noting that in audio-visual entertainment, it can also support Internet radio, online music, local music and local videos, and the system supports downloading applications, which is basically the same as the smart phones we use every day.

In addition, this car is also quite rich in configuration, especially in active safety configuration. It is equipped with BYD Dipilot driver assistance system, and it is equipped with basic common practical configurations such as adaptive cruise, lane keeping and automatic parking.

Key Jun also had some experience during the test drive, among which the most memorable one is that when you enter low-speed driving, as soon as you turn on the turn signal, the screen will automatically switch to a 360-degree panoramic image, and its response speed is really fast. The most important thing is that it is practical and convenient. In terms of voice control, BYD Han EV also has a high degree of voice recognition. The wake-up mode can be awakened by buttons on the steering wheel or by voice, and its voice system has a fast response speed and high recognition. You just need to say "Hello, Xiao Di+Command" to switch to the specified command. Byd Han EV can support switching to make a phone call, check the weather, open the window and other commands.

Let’s take a look at the size. As a medium-sized and large car, BYD Han EV is also full of advantages in space performance. First, let’s take a look at the body size of BYD Han EV. Its length, width and height are 4980/1910/1495mm, and the wheelbase is 2920mm. It is precisely because of its super-long wheelbase of 2920 mm that the rear space of BYD Han EV can be described as luxury. In the actual experience process, the emphasis is on your height. At the same time, sitting in the back seat, you can feel the softness of the whole seat is very high. In addition, the cushion is also very long, not only with ventilation and heating functions, but also with electric adjustment of the back seat, which is quite "cool". Of course, there are still some shortcomings in the space of BYD Han EV. Compared with the abundance of leg space, the head space in the back row is somewhat cramped. In fact, it is not difficult to understand. After all, there are restrictions on the shape of sliding back, so the head space is not so comfortable. According to the pro-test, the head distance is 3.5 to 4 fingers without sitting up straight. If the body plate is upright, it will be a bit awkward. Judging from the overall interior experience of BYD Han EV, BYD Han EV can give consumers a luxury car enjoyment in terms of texture, technical equipment and comfort.

How does BYD Han EV drive?

After talking about the appearance and interior, what is the feeling of BYD Han EV? Since it is a test drive experience, how can we not talk about the feeling of driving! Let’s talk about parameters and power first. BYD Han EV provides two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive models, in which the front and rear dual-motor systems with total power of 363kW(494Ps) and maximum torque of 680N·m are adopted for the dual-motor four-wheel drive models. Among them, the long endurance version, the cruising range of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 605km, and our test drive is the high-performance version of the Han EV four-wheel drive.

In this activity, we started from 4S shop to Tongling Yongquan Mountain Villa, with a total length of 180 kilometers. The middle section includes urban roads and expressway sections. In the early stage, before we got on the expressway section, there was a section of urban roads and there were many traffic lights in the middle. At this stage, we switched to economic mode. In this mode, the power output was relatively soft. After entering the expressway section, we switched the driving mode to SPORT mode. Choose the standard intensity for kinetic energy recovery. In the actual experience, the accelerator pedal of the four-wheel drive version is extremely sensitive. When the floor is electrified, the whole car is like a runaway wild horse. Its powerful acceleration performance gives the driver a strong sense of pushing back, but the overall feeling will not appear so abrupt, but it is delicate and linear. To be honest, this kind of driving pleasure will also make consumers feel addicted.

In addition, in addition to the extreme feeling of performance, BYD Han EV also brings us a good driving experience in handling, sports and comfort. When we arrive at the destination of Tongling Yongquan Mountain Villa, we need to go through a continuous curve mountain road. When our vehicle enters the curve, the lateral support of BYD Han EV is very good, and the flexibility of the whole chassis is also very good, which can make you easily turn the curve. To be honest, in this performance, BYD Han EV is not worthy of some luxury brands.

Finally, let’s talk about the performance of BYD Han EV in sound insulation. In fact, in real life, car noise can directly affect our driving experience. If the performance of the vehicle we are driving is not good enough in quietness, it will also increase the burden on the driver’s brain invisibly, which will make people feel annoyed and even lead to road rage. This is harmful to safe driving. At this point, BYD Han EV’s noise control in the car is good, and even some of them exceed the expectations of the key drivers. During the driving process, even if the speed reaches 120KM/h, the car is very quiet, and the wind noise and tire noise are also well controlled. At this point, BYD Han EV is better than other new energy vehicles.

Write at the end:

Whether it is the advanced design or the interior with both texture and high sense, BYD Han EV has given the key gentleman a good feeling. The excellent performance and the pleasant driving texture also make the key gentleman have enough surprises. For this price or this level of models, BYD Han EV is definitely a "face" and a "value" model. I believe that in the future new energy field, BYD Han EV will also create new achievements. Let’s wait and see!

For Biao and Audi a6l, its unique brand advantages and extreme luxury attributes have made it deeply recognized by consumers, with an average monthly sales volume of more than 13,000, which is in a strong competitive position in this market segment.

The side is slender and smooth, the lines are smooth and sexy, the rear tail is sexy and stocky, the bilateral double exhaust is quite graded, and the overall face value is remarkable, which is a small S-class.

In terms of power, e300l is equipped with a 2.0t high-powered version, 190 kW, 370 Nm, equipped with a 9-speed manual, with a zero-hundred-speed score of about 6.6 seconds, which makes the acceleration feel smooth and calm at the beginning, and at the same time, the latter part is full of confidence and orderly shift logic, which is always indifferent and comfortable to drive, and can raise the speed to a very high level unconsciously.

[Space] The space in the front row of my 176 is quite large. There is not much horizontal space for two people. Three people are not very comfortable. From driving to now, I have only gone home for the Spring Festival, and I have been full of company group tours. Basically, I am alone.

[Control] Control is general, and this owner plays.

[Comfort] The front seat is comfortable and the rear seat is short.

[Appearance] I bought a sports label with pearl white. I feel very young. In fact, I am already young.

[Interior] Family-style design is adopted, just like driving an S. Due to the hasty booking of a car, the car comes with a black interior, which is a little depressing, but quite resistant to dirt.

[Cost-effective] If people like me don’t pay attention to performance, people who look at their eyes will buy a car of around 500,000, which is still very good.

The drone postman appeared in the mountainous area of Guiyang and needed to change batteries when flying to every village.

  Since the beginning of January this year, residents of Weicheng Town, Guiyang City, located in the mountainous area of Guizhou Province, have often seen a drone shuttle through the town. Under the belly of the plane, there was a box with the words "China Post". The local people later learned that this drone was used by the post office in the town to deliver mail to the surrounding mountain villages. Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned from the local post office on the 15th that this drone now flies twice a week, and it will be promoted if it works well in the future.

  Postman part-time drone operator

  On the morning of 15th, Wang Hua, a staff member of Weicheng Post Sub-bureau in Guiyang, took his drone to an open space near the town, and prepared to deliver newspapers and some mails to five villages around the town.

  Wang Hua is a postman. He used to ride a motorcycle to deliver mail to several surrounding villages three times a week. Because the mountain road is rugged, although the distance is not far, it takes a whole day to deliver it every time. Since the beginning of January this year, Wang Hua has added a new task, which is to operate drones to transport mail.

  "Our economy is not developed here. Many people have never seen drones, so many people gathered around to see them when they first started flying. Some old people asked us about the timetable for flying drones and came to see them several times." Wang Hua said.

  Wang Hua said that he is driving a drone, but in fact the main operation is not done by him. He is mainly responsible for loading mail on the drone and then checking the battery. The flight route has long been set by the company that developed the drone. All he has to do is scan the QR code on the plane with his mobile phone, and then click the start button on the mobile phone, and the plane can fly according to the pre-designed route.

  "It used to take a whole day to send the mail from these villages by motorcycle. Now the whole route is flown by drones, which is more than an hour." Wang Hua said.

  Flying to every village requires changing batteries.

  Director Chen Zhongxiang of Weicheng Post Sub-office told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that at present, there is only one drone in the town post office, and they selected five villages, namely Yingyan, Yinqiao, Maixiang, Xingguang and Lianhua Temple, as delivery pilots. Chen Zhongxiang said that these villages were chosen because they are relatively remote, and it takes too long and the road is dangerous to send mail into the village by manpower.

  Chen Zhongxiang said that the UAV they are using now has a diameter of more than 1 meter and six propellers. In theory, it can carry about 7 kilograms of goods. However, for safety reasons, the stipulated delivery weight is no more than 5 kilograms, and the flying distance between villages is about 10 minutes. Every time you fly to a village, you need people from the village to help replace the new battery, and then you can fly to the next village. The whole journey is a "relay" process.

  "The plane must be fully charged before it can take off. The last time we saw the power of the plane was 82%, we felt that we could complete a flight, but after the start, the plane still could not take off. This may be the design made by the aircraft research and development enterprise for the absolute safety of the aircraft." Chen Zhongxiang said.

  Temporarily unable to replace manual delivery.

  According to the staff of the UAV R&D company, when the plane lands, it needs to lay a red and blue positioning carpet at the landing site. The UAV is equipped with a sensor in the vertical direction. When it searches for the positioning carpet, it will land accurately. Location.

  Chen Zhongxiang told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that it was not the decision of the town post office to equip the town post office with drones, but the higher authorities chose the Weicheng post office as a pilot. If the use effect is good in the future, it will continue to be promoted.

  "Many people in the village felt particularly fresh when they saw the plane at first, and the people in charge of managing the plane in each village also had a WeChat group. When the plane took off and landed, everyone would inform each other."

  Annabelle of Xingguang Village Committee is one of the managers of this drone. Every time he receives the mail from his village, he also needs to replace the plane with a new battery. "If the battery is not fully charged, the plane can’t fly, but there will definitely be no forgetting to charge the battery. Everyone will remind each other when they have WeChat groups."

  Chen Zhongxiang said that in the past, the postman of the post office had to go into the mountain three times a week, but now it has been reduced to twice a week, while the drone now flies twice a week. If the effect is good in the future, it will increase the flight frequency. "But due to the limitation of load, drones can’t completely replace the postman now, and everywhere they go, they need people to get express delivery for batteries. There are still some troubles. It would be nice if these jobs can be replaced by machines in the future."

From Chen Kun to Roy and Karry, among the stars who are constantly "harvesting" attention in the entertainment circle, it seems that there is never a lack of Chongqing elements. If it is said that ten years ago, Chen Kun began to impress the audience with his youthful and immature acting skills, it was the beginning of Chongqing children’s journey in the entertainment circle; Then at the dawn of the second decade of the new century, successors have appeared on this long journey …

Needless to say, Roy and Karry, two children who have long been popular all over the country through TFBOYS, Sean Xiao, who won the popularity of the new generation of actors this year, Vin, Ivan and YoRoll , who are the most popular new men’s team at present, followed closely, and J.zen, Gu Landi and other names have repeatedly refreshed your understanding of the newcomers in the entertainment circle.

Sean Xiao

The hottest Chinese actor this year

How new is the "new power"? We might as well take the year 2000, the first year of the 21st century, as the base point.

That year, Chen Kun was a student of the Beijing Film Academy. After the movie "National Anthem", he participated in his second drama "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", but at this time he was just a little coffee hidden behind the highlights of Zhou Xun and Lu Yi. This year, Roy and Vin were born, Karry just turned one year old and YoRoll  and Ivan were two years old. The older ones are J.zen and Gu Landi, who are 5 and 6 years old respectively. Xiao Zhan, who is 9 years old, should start learning piano under the guidance of his father.

In a blink of an eye, 10 years later, they all became "popular fried chicken", and some of them were even hotter than Chen Kun in 2000.

If you want to ask how hot Sean Xiao is now? Just pay a little attention to the frequency of his name appearing in various news information in the last week, and you can perceive one or two. New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are approaching. He is on the guest lists of CCTV, Beijing Satellite TV and Oriental TV. Among them, Beijing Satellite TV also chose Sean Xiao as the spokesperson for the 2020 Spring Festival Gala.

Sean Xiao became the spokesperson for the 2020 Beijing Spring Festival Evening.

Not only that, all kinds of "harvest" hot search and attention in Sean Xiao can be described as full bloom. Let’s take a closer look at the variety field. In the music reality show "The Voice of Chinese Dreams Our Songs", which is being broadcasted by Oriental TV, his partner, Tian Na Ying, praised him as "really handsome" from the first sight, and the following two people’s cooperation, "Follow Your Feelings" and "Night at the Naval Port" were hotly debated in every capital.

Sean Xiao has become the "darling" of fashion magazines.

Secondly, magazine covers and photos, which have always been Vogue of the main battlefields for star competition, have ELLE published Sean Xiao’s photos or covers.

In the field of TV series, The Untamed, a costume drama that was popular all over the network in June this year, was regarded as the tipping point of Sean Xiao’s popularity. In the play, his handsome appearance is just in line with the audience’s imagination of Wei, the original character: clean, optimistic and cheerful. On December 20th, Douban made a ranking list from movies to TV series in 2019. The Untamed ranked third in the highest-rated Chinese drama series in 2019 with 8.3 points, and Sean Xiao won the first place among the most watched Chinese actors in 2019.

Compared with several Chongqing babies who will be mentioned later in Ran Ran, Sean Xiao is not too young. Born in 1991, he studied painting, violin and other literary specialties under the cultivation of his father since childhood. In 2010, Sean Xiao was admitted to chongqing technology and business university Modern International Design and Art Institute. Since he entered the school, he has been a member of the class’s literary and art committee, and also served as the head of vocal music department and male voice department of the college students’ art troupe, as well as an actor of the school’s language and art sub-group.

In her sophomore year, Sean Xiao, who won the title of "Top Ten Singers on Campus" in chongqing technology and business university, participated in the "Top Ten Singers on Campus" competition in Chongqing on behalf of her school and won the second prize. It is worth mentioning that when he was a student, Sean Xiao also played a lot of tricks in his professional field: in 2012, he and his friend Camera founded the "Recalling Light and Shadow Visual Media" photography studio and the "NED Design Studio", and he was the main photographer and designer.

Until now, Weibo’s name in Sean Xiao still retains the head of his newly-debuted group "X-Nine Youth League". In June 2015, he was invited to participate in Zhejiang Satellite TV’s amateur inspirational program "Burn Boys" and became a trainee. In the finals in February of the following year, although Sean Xiao and his teammates narrowly lost to the Chris Lee team, in September of the same year, they announced their debut as the lead singer of the X-Nine Youth League. Since then, Sean Xiao’s performances in costume dramas "Breaking the Sky" and "Your Highness the Wolf" have been recognized by everyone. In the popular costume drama Joy of Life, although Sean Xiao is a supporting role, the hot discussion expected by netizens has spread all over the network since the first day of the drama.

Up to now, the number of Weibo fans in Sean Xiao has reached a staggering 21 million, and among the more than 700 Weibo posts, the likes of any one easily exceeded 1 million. It is no exaggeration to say that, as Douban commented, he is definitely the first most concerned Chinese actor at present.

The hottest new men’s team "R1SE"

Three of the 11 members are Chongqing children.

Wechat picture _ 2019122422810.jpg

R1SE men’s team

On 14th of this month, R1SE, a men’s group, announced that it had been a group debut for less than half a year, put "WE ARE R.1.S.E-2019 R1SE National Tour Concert" into the Chongqing Concert of Chongqing Huaxi International Cultural and Sports Center. The scene is naturally screaming and cheering. This concert is of great significance to the three members of R1SE: Vin, Ivan and Zhang Yanquan are authentic Chongqing babies.

For this reason, R1SE specially designed an interactive session with unique regional characteristics for Chongqing fans. The members not only adapted the lyrics of the song "Deba" into Chongqing dialect "Yaode", but also performed a dialect chorus with the live fans. Combined with Chongqing special hot pot, a creative game "What’s in the hot pot restaurant" was created, which made the concert scene burst into laughter again and again.

Back in June this year, the reality show "Creation Camp 2019" launched by Tencent Video specially selected men’s teams finally scheduled the final seats. According to the program rules, 11 members of the "R1SE" group who made their debut as a group were born. Among the 11 members born after the elimination of 101 trainees, three Chongqing children were included: the names of Vin, Ivan and YoRoll  instantly became popular on the Internet.

Wechat picture _20191224220417.jpg

Vin

You are not mistaken. After 00, you have already started to board this eye-catching stage. Vin, the third of the three, was born in 2000, while YoRoll  and Yao Chen were both born in 1998. According to Vin’s self-report when he participated in Creation Camp 2019, his idea of going on stage was influenced by Michael Jackson: in 2012, at the age of 12, after watching Michael Jackson’s performance in This is it, he had the idea of going on stage for the first time, and it got out of hand. He first signed up for a street dance class, and then spent two years persuading his parents to let him take the road of acting. Before participating in the domestic draft variety show, he went to an entertainment company in South Korea as a trainee in 2014.

Before this year’s "Creation Camp 2109" won the C place, Vin had already won the fourth place in the 2017 musical idol cultivation program "Son of Tomorrow" and made her debut. Two months ago, Vin was selected into the 2019 Forbes China list of 30 elites under the age of 30 by virtue of her popularity.

Ivan Yao

Ivan, born in 1998, also had the experience of joining a Korean entertainment company as an intern. In "Creation Camp 2019", Yao Chen’s first stage performance of "Baddd" attracted countless attention. During the performance, Ivan inadvertently lifted his T-shirt to reveal eight abdominal muscles, which also made him known as a "small waist" by fans.

YoRoll 

YoRoll  is famous for her "interesting soul" among R1SE members. On the one hand, he keeps making golden sentences in the "Creation Camp 2019" program, such as calling PK among students "mutual torture to the bald head"; On the other hand, the scene of Chongqing Xiaoer, who is super spicy, recommending Laoganma’s hot sauce for other students in the program has also made fans talk about it for a long time.

The scene of YoRoll ‘s crazy recommendation of hot sauce

As he himself said in the program, his interest in rap began in junior high school. "My classmates showed me a rough MV made by a domestic rapper, but the content was very close to life." He immediately fell in love with this form of writing everything that happened around him into a song and began to try originality. Nowadays, family members are very supportive of this road chosen by Zhang Yan. In an interview, he even laughed that his father is his number one male fan. "His ten circle of friends, nine of them are all about me, and I find people everywhere to like me."

J.zen

A cold folded ear root was forwarded by Weibo for more than 240,000 times.

On December 22nd, J.zen’s name was posted on the hot search because Ronghao Li, who had just finished his concert in Chongqing, met Xiao Zhu at the airport and stopped him. At first, he didn’t react. When he recognized that he was Ronghao Li, the music tutor when he participated in the online comprehensive Idol Trainee, J.zen’s appearance as a good student made fans happy instantly.

J.zen

If you don’t know J.zen, it only means that you are either old or Out.

Now official website, who is logged into Luneng Bashu Middle School, can find J.zen's name in the classmate record of Class 16, Grade 2012. jpg.

Now logging in to Luneng Bashu Middle School, official website can find J.zen’s name in the classmate record of Class 16, Grade 2012.

J.zen was born in Chongqing in 1994. Until now, if you log in to Luneng Bashu Middle School, official website can find his name in the previous student lists. He is in Class 16, Grade 2012. Compared with Chongqing’s fellow villagers who are equally popular in the entertainment circle today, J.zen is a broader type. He and Variety should have been electrocuted since high school: in 2011, J.zen’s name was included in the second season of China’s Got Talent. Later, he entered Beijing Modern Music Institute to study in university.

The reason why J.zen dabbles in a lot is that he has appeared in the dance competition program, the magic reality show and the most popular variety show "Hip-hop in China" in 2017 (entering the top 46 in China). However, if we really want to say that J.zen’s name is on fire, it is inseparable from the reality show "Idol Trainee" formed by the idol men’s team that was red and purple last year. In this program, J.zen and the current traffic took the PK of KUN, Chen Linong and Adam, and finally ranked 14th. This achievement is quite rare.

This year's Spring Festival, J.zen's menu for going home for dinner also has cold folded ears. jpg

This year’s Spring Festival, J.zen’s cold salad is broken.

How hot is J.zen, who has released his second personal music EP "Something Worth mentioning" in April this year? The reporter noticed that the number of his real-name authentication fans in Weibo has already exceeded 6.4 million. As a Chongqing cub, he is naturally unambiguous in eating. Apart from basking in the Vlog that he made "Chongqing tomato scrambled eggs" and "boiled meat slices", this year’s Spring Festival J.zen basked in a picture of himself eating New Year’s Eve dinner at home in Chongqing: "The legendary braised fish of grandma and the broken ears of grandpa’s cold salad". This Weibo has been forwarded more than 240,000 times, and the number of likes has exceeded 78,000 times.

Gulandi

Chongqing guy who won the popularity of "making stars in a new way"

Compared with his peers in other circles, Gu Landi, who was born in Chongqing in 1995, was quite unconventional from his debut to his popularity. Although he also participated in Iqiyi’s talent show "Youth has You", he actually made his debut before this program started: In the online drama "Love You So Sweet" of Tencent video last year, Gu Landi starred in the male No.2.

Gulandi.jpg

Gulandi

In January of this year, Youth with You, which has been regarded as the second season of Idol Trainee, was launched, and Gu Landi joined it as a trainee. After two months of competition, Gu Landi regretted stopping in the top 20, and something interesting happened at this time. He, together with Shi Mingze, Hu Wenxuan, Xu Bingchao and Ding Feijun, formed a men’s team named "D5, the fifth son of the desert" and announced his debut. The operation team behind it is Lehua Entertainment, which has previously launched the "NEXT of the Seven sons of Lehua" (the main members include THEO and Adam).

Display and Valley Blue Imperial Capital is a "trainee" launched by the online comprehensive "Youth has You". jpg

Displaying the Imperial Capital of Valley Blue is a "trainee" from Youth with You.

The key to saying that it is the result of the current "new game of making stars" is that "the fifth son of the desert D5" announced its existence for only three months at the same time from the date of its birth. Not only that, the unique significance of "Five Sons of the Desert D5" is that it is the first case of spontaneous group cooperation between artists from different companies. People in the industry generally believe that this has unlocked the new mode of idol draft, given the eliminated players new opportunities, and maintained the heat of the players after the game to a certain extent. At the same time of forming a group, "Desert Wuzi D5" has an official fan club, and the membership card valid for three months costs 99 yuan.

During the three-month existence of "Five Sons of the Desert D5", they released two singles successively, and they also appeared in the theme concert of "Burning Snow" in the 1000-day countdown to the Beijing Winter Olympics.

In 2020, these "online celebrity" will be different!

  Chinanews. com client Beijing, December 25 th:Year-end planning: In 2020, these "online celebrity" will be different!

  Reporter Ren Siyu

  Finally, the progress bar in 2020 is almost full.

  If you use one word to describe your feelings, what would it be? Magic, change and cherish … …

  Looking back on this year, we have witnessed too many changes in the world, one extraordinary thing after another, and at the same time, we have seen such a group of ordinary people become "online celebrity". Do you still remember them?

  Spider monkey bread

  At the beginning of the year, many people were trapped by the COVID-19 epidemic. When Wuhan was "closed" and everyone was shrouded in panic, a group of witnesses recorded the tug-of-war between ordinary people and the epidemic with their own lenses.

  On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wuhan film and television worker "Spider Monkey Bread" decided to film the daily life after "closing the city": the medical staff who rushed to the front line to fight, the boss who provided free accommodation for the medical staff, the old man who pushed his wife to see a doctor on foot in a wheelchair, the family members of patients waiting for medicine, and the takeaway brother who insisted on delivering food on a motorcycle … … The ordinary people in his lens are warm and strong.

  In just a few days, "Spider Monkey Bread" became a online celebrity, with millions of fans. The comments all said, "Thank you for letting us see the beauty and kindness in human nature." "Thank you for letting us see the real Wuhan."

  Dalian xiaohuo

  Although temporarily closed, the city has not become an island. During the epidemic, countless stories of volunteers were born here. Among them, a young man from Dalian who experienced the trip of "Han Long" impressed everyone.

  In February of this year, Jiang Wenqiang, a young man from Dalian, wanted to take the high-speed train to Changsha, but he took the wrong carriage and came to Wuhan. Because the passage from Han was closed, he almost slept on the street and signed up as a volunteer in the First Hospital of Wuhan, and gradually overcame his inner fears and became the "Dalian" in the hospital.

  At the end of March, Jiang Wenqiang returned to his hometown with the Liaoning medical team that finished the task. Later, an epidemic broke out in Dalian, and he volunteered again, wearing protective clothing and becoming a volunteer. At the end of 2020, he concluded: "Volunteers are the identities that I will cherish all my life. Volunteer service is what I have to do all my life! "

  Zhong Meimei

  During the national fight against the epidemic, people were forced to be isolated at home, learn to make milk tea and steamed cakes with short videos, and order snail powder with live broadcasts. The video deeply intervened and changed everyone’s lives. Zhong Meimei, a 13-year-old boy, vividly imitated the teacher’s class and brought happiness to those days.

  God’s imitation and golden sentences made this "drama student" popular overnight, and he was crowded into his bedroom by onlookers, discussions, and many shots. A company directly gave him a signing invitation of one million. Finally, he and his family chose to refuse.

  At a recent event, Zhong Meimei said, "I am very lucky to be born in this era, so that everyone can see my performance and like me. This is the change of this era, and the surprise brought by the change. " He also said that he plans to be an actor in the future, and the most important thing is to finish college, because he doesn’t want to be an actor without cultural literacy.

  Ding Zhen

  Also because the short video burst into red and was watched by countless people, there was a Tibetan boy Ding Zhen.

  In the fear of netizens, this "sweet wild boy" will be contested by entertainment companies and make his debut in the draft. However, the local government beat him to it and signed him as an employee of Litang County Wenlv Investment and Development Co., Ltd. After that, Ding Zhen opened a Weibo, filmed a video and attended a promotion meeting, which quickly became a part of local cultural tourism promotion. It is the cultural tourism institutions in Sichuan, Tibet and even all over the country that compete for him.

  Ding really became popular by accident, but behind this, people saw the efforts made by Litang County for poverty alleviation over the years. In the past, Litang had a high altitude and poor conditions. Now, Litang has withdrawn from the poverty-stricken county sequence and is ready to welcome tourists from all over the world.

  In this series, everyone remembered Ding Zhen’s clear eyes and bright smile, the snowy plateau behind him and "Pony always runs first", and even remembered the name of Litang County. Originally, online celebrity can also have this way of opening.

  He jiaolong

  After Ding Zhen successfully brought goods for Litang, He Jiaolong, deputy head of Zhaosu County, Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, was also angry. In a video, she wears a red cloak to ride a horse in the snow field, and speaks for local tourism projects, which is heroic and cool.

  In 2020, live broadcast with goods became the key word of consumption, and people found that more and more grassroots cadres also joined the ranks of anchors with goods. In fact, long before the video became popular, He Jiaolong began to appear for the live broadcast of local agricultural and sideline products, with sales exceeding 10 million yuan and reward income exceeding 1 million yuan, all of which were used for public welfare and charity.

  He Jiaolong said that he didn’t want to be a online celebrity. He only hoped that more people could get to know the beautiful Zhaosu through video, so that Zhaosu County could become the national "online celebrity" punching place and help the local agriculture and tourism development.

  Zhang guimei

  If we say that live broadcast with goods is to change the rural landscape through consumption, then the Huaping Girls’ High School where President Zhang Guimei is located is to change the fate of girls in poor mountainous areas with knowledge.

  Zhang Guimei, 63, has been committed to the education in the poor mountainous areas of western Yunnan for decades. She founded the first all-free high school for girls in China. In order to get girls into the school, she worked door to door. In order to urge them to get good grades in the exam, she only slept for a few hours every day because of various diseases … … In the past 12 years, more than 1,800 girls who might have dropped out of school have gone out of Dashan and Yuanmeng University.

  When asked "where is the value of this life", Zhang Guimei said: "Anyway, I saved a generation. No matter how much or how little, it is enough for them to live better than me and be happier than me. This is my greatest comfort. "

  "I was born to be a mountain rather than a stream. I want to look down on the mediocre ravine at the top of the peaks. I was born an outstanding person, not a dirt. I stand on the shoulders of great men and despise humble cowards. " This oath, whenever read, makes people respect.

  In 2020, there are still some people who will become online celebrity. They are not famous for their talent or beauty. Maybe you can’t remember their names, but they must have been moved and applauded by these pictures:

  In Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, a couple of farmers danced their own "shuffle dance" in the field, and their smiles were very infectious. It turned out that Fan Deduo had suffered from depression due to a car accident, and his wife Peng Xiaoying took him to dance together, gradually getting out of the haze and finding happiness.

  In Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, a traffic policeman saw the children crossing the road. After gesturing to the owner, he ran to the children with a big smile and escorted the children across the road. During this period, he bent down and opened his arms to protect the children.

  In Zhengzhou, Henan Province, a man slipped and fell into the Yellow River. At the critical moment, another man successfully intercepted the drowning man with a paddle. It turned out that the rescuer was a professional kayaker who retired five years ago due to injury. The whole rescue took only 27 seconds.

  In Binzhou, Shandong Province, a drunken man attacked pedestrians on the road with a knife and cut a girl’s neck. I saw a veteran rushing out with a long stick, quickly knocking out the knife in the man’s hand, and the neighbor with injured hand pulled an electric car to subdue the gangster.

  In Dalian, Liaoning Province, a blue delivery man tripped over the steel wire towed by the tanker and fell into a coma after hitting the pier. The yellow delivery man in the rear rushed into the sea of fire and dragged him out. He said that even if he was burned, he must save people, otherwise he would be very sorry in his life.

  In 2020, there are many stories of these ordinary people becoming popular. They help to clarify misunderstandings and correct stereotypes, bring happiness and warmth in times of anxiety, and stand up bravely in times of crisis. Even, they just show their real daily life in the most grounded way, which is worth standing in the center of the stage.

  Many years later, maybe someone will carefully write down the year of 2020, which will be a colorful page. While experiencing one magical story after another, we also see that there are many ordinary lights.

  Ordinary people can be online celebrity, ordinary people can become heroes, traffic can change their hometown and be used in a wider place, and the silent efforts on weekdays converge into the power to achieve a better life; In the predicament, countless small goodwill gathered together, which can let more people see hope.

  These seemingly atypical online celebrity will become a unique footnote in 2020. So they might as well come more! (End)

Domestic films relay to ignite the film market! This year’s summer box office is expected to break the film history record.

Author: Uncle Biao

Last weekend, with the release of "Feng Shen I", "Super Family" and the national screening of "Enthusiasm", it added another fire to the already hot summer movie market. Although there are films that are not as good as expected, there are more excellent works that exceed expectations.

Disappeared She took the lead, Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an, In the Octagonal Cage were full of stamina, The First Part of Gods was well received, and The Warmth was warmly reflected.

One domestic film after another has completely ignited the film market in China, and this year’s summer box office is expected to break the box office record of 17.653 billion yuan created by the summer file in 2019.

On July 21st, the Mahua FunAge comedy "Super Family" directed by Song Yang and starring Allen and Shen Teng was released, which earned 87.33 million yuan at the box office that day, and unexpectedly won the one-day box office champion. However, its reputation was not satisfactory, and it was impossible to reproduce the hot box office in Moon Man in the same period last year.

These two films were originally considered as the most important domestic commercial films in the second half of this summer, but their box office performance in the first weekend was not as good as expected, which made people slightly worried about whether the China mainland film market could continue to be hot in August.

The east is not bright and the west is bright. Last Saturday and Sunday, the domestic comedy inspirational film "Enthusiasm", which was scheduled to be released on July 28, was released in the country one week ahead of schedule. The touching and funny story won enthusiastic response from the audience and restored confidence in the August film market.

As of the press release of The Vane of Film and Television, the box office in July this year has reached 6.656 billion yuan, which is only one step away from the highest box office record of 6.966 billion yuan in China film history created in July 2018. There are still eight days left, which will surely set a new record.

Among the new films released last weekend, the biggest surprise was the hip-hop comedy "Enthusiasm" directed by Dapeng and starring Bo Huang and YiBo. This is the second film directed by Dapeng released this year.

On March 10th, "Keep You Safe" starring Dapeng, Li Xueqin, Andrew and Wang Xun earned 700 million box office and 7.7 points for Douban. "Enthusiasm" is even worse in terms of word of mouth, starring lineup and release schedule.

The film tells the story of little people pursuing their dreams and fighting back. The theme of street dance is not only novel, but also meets the aesthetic needs of young audiences. The whole film is both exciting and tearful. Personally, it is the best film directed by Dapeng so far.

"Enthusiasm" has the right casting, and the scene of the street dance competition is very explosive and youthful. YiBo gave full play to his dancing skills and presented his best performance on the big screen to the audience.

As always, Bo Huang’s performance is grounded and humorous, and she also shows off her dancing skills in the film. He and Yun-peng Yue also made a lot of jokes in the film. When Liu Mintao’s mother sang "Zhang San’s Song" in the film, I saw my eyes moist.

Such an inspirational film, which is burning, touching, funny and realistic, is likely to lead the second half of the summer file in August and this year, and the box office will hit 2 billion or even 3 billion yuan.

According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, up to now, the summer box office in 2019 and 2018 ranked first and second in the box office of China film history in the same period. By analyzing the box office rankings of single films in the past two years, we can find that five films have grossed more than 1 billion yuan.

At present, three films, Disappeared She, Trapped in an Octagon Cage and Long March, have grossed more than 1 billion yuan this summer, and the films that are expected to exceed 1 billion yuan in the second half are expected to be Feng Shen Part I and Enthusiasm. Meg 2, which was released on August 4th, is likely to have a good reputation. In this way, there are expected to be as many as six films with a box office of 1 billion this summer.

In 2019, Ne Zha, the champion of summer box office, earned 4.706 billion yuan at the box office. In the summer of 2018, Dying to Survive, the box office champion, earned 3.098 billion yuan, and the runner-up "The Richest Man in Xihong City" earned 2.52 billion yuan.

This year’s summer file, "Disappeared She" currently ranks first at the box office with 3.465 billion yuan, which has surpassed Dying to Survive. The box office of octagonal cage is currently close to 2 billion yuan, and the final box office will definitely exceed 2 billion yuan. Cat’s Eye’s latest forecast that the final box office of Chang ‘an Three Wan Li will be 1.94 billion yuan.

If "Enthusiasm" can reach 23 billion yuan at the box office after its release, and other heavy films such as Meg 2’s "Put all your eggs in one basket", "Assassination Storm" and "Learning Dad", this summer’s box office is likely to break the highest box office record in China’s film history at the same time.

A single flower does not make a spring. Compared with Ne Zha’s dominance in the summer of 2019, this summer’s top films are richer in themes and types, and the box office structure is more reasonable. Looking forward to China movies getting better and better!

Impact on "the first chip of intelligent driving", Black Sesame Intelligent lost 10 billion yuan in three years to go to Hong Kong for blood transfusion.

On March 22nd, official website, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, showed that Black Sesame International Holding Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Black Sesame Intelligence"), an autonomous driving research and development enterprise, submitted its application for listing on the main board again, with CICC, Huatai International and CCB International as its co-sponsors.

Black sesame intelligence launched an impact on the "first share of autonomous driving chips".

On March 22nd, official website of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange showed that Black Sesame International Holding Limited (hereinafter referred to as "Black Sesame Intelligence"), an autonomous driving research and development enterprise, submitted its application for listing on the main board again, with CICC, Huatai International and CCB International as its co-sponsors.

Black Sesame Intelligence had previously submitted the form on June 30, 2023. Due to its failure to pass the hearing within 6 months, its listing application expired in early January 2024. After a lapse of three months, I handed in the form again. Can Black Sesame Intelligence, which is in urgent need of listing and financing, successfully open the door of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this time?

Lose 10 billion yuan in three years, and grasp the new dividend of Hong Kong stocks.

According to the prospectus, Black Sesame Intelligence was established in 2016. According to the shipment of high-computing SoC in 2022, Black Sesame Intelligence is the third largest provider of SoC and SoC-based solutions for smart cars in the world. The largest shareholder is the founder Shan Zhangzhang, with about 55.99% of the voting rights.

It is reported that about 80% of the funds raised by Black Sesame Intelligence will be used for research and development; About 10% will be used to improve commercialization ability; And about 10% will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Although the revenue of Black Sesame Smart keeps increasing year by year, the loss is also expanding year by year, with a loss of nearly 10 billion yuan in three years. From 2021 to 2023, the operating income of Black Sesame Intelligence was 61 million yuan, 165 million yuan and 312 million yuan respectively; The net losses were 2.357 billion yuan, 2.754 billion yuan and 4.855 billion yuan respectively.

By the end of 2023, the cash and cash equivalents of Black Sesame Intelligence were 1.298 billion yuan, and the total current liabilities were 334 million yuan. The short-term debt repayment looks good, but due to the company’s low operating income and the need to maintain the company’s daily operations, in 2023, Black Sesame Intelligent’s operating cash flow was a net outflow of 1.058 billion yuan, which was not much different from the value of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year, and the company continued to flow in funds.

Black Sesame Intelligence said that the huge loss was mainly caused by the company’s excessive R&D investment, and R&D expenditure was the main expenditure part of Black Sesame Intelligence. From 2021 to 2023, the R&D expenditure of Black Sesame Intelligence was 595 million yuan, 764 million yuan and 1.363 billion yuan respectively, accounting for 78.7%, 69.4% and 74.0% of the total operating expenditure and 984.0%, 461.8% and 436.2% of the income in the same year.

Financing has become a "life-saving straw" for black sesame to intelligently supplement its own capital reserves.

Since its establishment in 2016, Black Sesame Intelligence has been invested by well-known VC and industrial capital such as Northern Lights Venture Capital, SAIC, China Merchants Venture Capital, Haisong Capital, Tencent, Boyuan Capital and Dongfeng Motor Group. The total amount of financing in 10 rounds is about 695 million US dollars, about 5 billion yuan. After the last round of financing, the valuation of Black Sesame Intelligence reached 2.218 billion US dollars, about 16 billion yuan.

However, since the signing of the C+ round financing agreement in December 2021, Black Sesame Intelligence has not conducted external financing. This IPO in Hong Kong or Black Sesame Intelligence is an important opportunity under the new dividend of Hong Kong stocks.

On March 31st, 2023, HKEx added Chapter 18C to the Main Board Listing Rules, and introduced the listing mechanism of specialized technology companies, allowing technology companies with no income and no profit to come to Hong Kong for listing. The new rules are applicable to companies in five specialized technology industries: new generation information technology, advanced hardware, advanced materials, new energy and energy conservation and environmental protection, new food and agricultural technology.

It is reported that Black Sesame Smart is the first company to formally submit the A-1 listing documents under the 18C rule of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since it came into effect.

Competition is worrying about external troubles and internal troubles, and the pressure to reduce costs is great.

In 2022, self-driving passenger cars became popular all over the world, with a global penetration rate of 60.6% and a China penetration rate of 64.4%. According to Jost Sullivan, the global sales volume of self-driving passenger cars is expected to reach 71.6 million by 2028, with a penetration rate of 94.4%, and the sales volume of China is expected to reach 25.3 million by 2028, with a penetration rate of 97.2%.

With the development of automotive industry towards intelligence, SoC has become the mainstream trend in the design and application of automotive chips with many advantages such as improved computing power and high data transmission efficiency. According to Jost Sullivan, in 2028, the global market size of SoC is expected to reach 179.2 billion yuan, and the market size of China is expected to reach 83.5 billion yuan.

However, the current smart driving chip track is still dominated by foreign brands, and domestic smart driving chip manufacturers are facing fierce competition.

According to the prospectus, in 2022, the market share of Black Sesame Intelligence in China and the global high-computing SoC field will be 5.2% and 4.8% respectively, while the market share of the No.1 company A in the global market and China market will be 82.5% and 81.6% respectively.

According to the statistics of Geshi Automobile Research Institute, the top four smart driving domain control chips in 2023 were Tesla FSD chip, NVIDIA Orin, Mobileye EyeQ4H and Mobileye EyeQ5H, and their installed capacity in the field of smart driving domain control was 1.2 million, 1.14 million, 200,000 and 170,000 respectively, with corresponding market shares of 34.4%, 32.6% and 5.7 respectively.

Whether it’s cockpit chips in Qualcomm or smart driving chips in NVIDIA, the products of overseas manufacturers are generally faced with the problem of high cost. In this respect, domestic chip manufacturers have relative advantages in cost control. This has once become an important factor for domestic manufacturers to "roll in" in terms of price.

Since 2023, the growth rate of the new energy automobile market has slowed down, and the "price war" in the domestic automobile market has intensified, and the pressure has been transmitted to the chip manufacturers in the upstream of the industrial chain. According to Morgan Stanley’s report, some car manufacturers are cutting orders for chips such as power management IC, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) and microcontroller (MCU), and asking suppliers to reduce prices.

Yang Yuxin, chief marketing officer of Black Sesame Intelligence, once publicly stated, "The automobile market in China is developing rapidly now. While ensuring the functional performance of (chips), there is also great pressure on the cost. Under the premise that the traditional cost reduction method can’t meet (demand), we can only find a way from the architectural way to put the functions of the original four chips into one chip, and the chip cost will be greatly reduced. "

At present, Black Sesame Intelligence has two series of products, Huashan and Wudang. Among them, A1000 chip helps customers reduce costs by reducing the use of devices. Wudang series chips integrate four sets of functions into one architecture from the way of architecture, so as to reduce the chip cost.

According to the prospectus, as of March 13, 2024, Black Sesame Intelligence has received 23 models of intentional orders from 16 automobile OEMs and first-tier suppliers. As of March 13, 2024, the company has cooperated with more than 49 automobile OEMs and first-class suppliers, including FAW Group, Dongfeng Group and Jiangqi Group.

In addition, in recent two years, BYD, Weilai, Tucki and other major car manufacturers are also actively deploying self-developed chips to improve the efficiency of the combination of software and chips. In this regard, Yang Yuxin said that the self-developed chips of car companies and the chips developed by third-party companies are essentially a game process in terms of cost, differentiation and technological leadership.

Yang Yuxin believes that Weilai’s chips are mainly used in high-end models, and other models will choose other suppliers. After all, car companies should consider a value accounting. He said that the black sesame smart body is relatively large, so it will also gain an advantage through scale.
