CCTV News(Reporter/Yao Shuting): A few days ago, some consumers complained on social platforms that they were suspected of encountering "bounced tickets" when purchasing Lin Junjie Nanchang concert tickets on a ticketing platform. After payment, they actually changed from Lin Junjie concert tickets to Pan Weibai concert tickets. Consumers immediately applied for a refund, and the refund page showed that 50% of the handling fee was charged.

Xiaojie snapped up tickets for Lin Junjie’s concert on June 2 on the evening of May 6, and entered the ticket purchase interface of Lin Junjie’s concert through the homepage of the platform. After swiping the ticket, she immediately paid without secret. Xiaojie introduced to CCTV News + reporter: "I bought a ticket of 1380 yuan, and Lin Junjie also has this ticket file, so I didn’t find anything abnormal until the payment was completed. But what I didn’t expect was that the message" Successful purchase of Pan Weibai’s concert tickets "popped up after the payment was completed. After finding out that she bought the wrong ticket, Xiaojie immediately applied for a refund. The page showed that the day was already on the 16th day after Pan Weibai’s concert was issued, and the refund fee was 50% of the ticket price.　

Consumer Tang bought Pan Weibai’s concert tickets for 1,180 yuan. She introduced to the "News +" reporter that all personal information had been pre-filled before invoicing. After Lin Junjie’s concert tickets were opened, the hot window on the platform was only Lin Junjie’s ticket purchase interface. Click to enter the ticket purchase interface, and there is no need to fill in other information again. When Ms. Tang received the ticket purchase text message, she found that she had purchased Pan Weibai’s Nanchang concert tickets.

"It’s obviously the first picture of Lin Junjie’s character, but the jump is Pan Weibai’s concert, and the system automatically jumps around. Isn’t this misleading and deceiving consumers?" Consumer Ms. Chen recalled that the evening of May 6 was during the time period for Lin Junjie’s concert to issue tickets, and the ticket purchase interface of Pan Weibai’s concert was in the state of "reservation and purchase", and tickets could not be purchased. Ms. Chen told reporters that many Pan Weibai fans under the relevant Weibo also raised questions: "I can’t get Pan Weibai’s tickets if I want to. How can so many people buy tickets?"

According to media reports, in early 2024, multiple consumers bought tickets for the "Lin Junjie JJ20 World Tour Concert Chengdu Station" concert on the same platform, but after payment, they found that the ticket information was "2024 Lin Zixiang 50 Jian Concert". Due to the approaching performance time, the platform refused to apply for a refund. The ticket buyers questioned the platform’s deliberate "bounce", and the platform denied the system problem, believing that the ticket buyer accidentally "clicked wrong", but agreed to a full refund.

In April 2024, after consumer Xiaoyu purchased tickets for Xu Song’s concert on the platform, he found that the order showed Su Youpeng’s concert tickets. He called customer service to complain unsuccessfully, but still received tickets for Su Youpeng’s concert the next day.

Ms. Chen told reporters that there are currently nearly 70 consumers with the same experience, and some consumers have received text messages from the Nanjing Jianye District Culture and Tourism Bureau after complaining: "Jianye District Culture and Tourism Bureau has contacted the organizer for communication and coordination, and the organizer has agreed to refund the ticket, but the publicity of the handling fee has been reviewed and filed by the Nanchang Public Security Department and cannot be changed without authorization. Moreover, the ticket purchase error was caused by the ticketing platform, and the organizer was not at fault and could not reach a full refund. In view of the failure of mediation, it is recommended that consumers protect their rights through legal channels."

On May 9, some consumers received a text message reply from the platform: Feedback has been confirmed, and full refunds are not supported.

Beijing Yuecheng Law Firm senior partner Yue Yushan said that the main point of the incident is whether the platform has breached the contract or infringed the situation. According to the "Consumer Rights Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China", consumers have the right to choose goods or services independently, and consumers also have the right to know the specific situation of the relevant goods or services. If the platform deliberately sets up a jump link, causing consumers to fail to buy the tickets they want to buy, which has damaged consumers’ right to choose and know, it is an infringement of consumer rights and interests. The platform needs to bear the corresponding responsibility. Once it constitutes fraud, it may have to bear the responsibility of refunding one to three.

According to the September 2023 "Notice of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security on Further Strengthening the Standardized Management of Large-scale Commercial Performance Activities and Promoting the Healthy and Orderly Development of the Performance Market", performance organizers should establish a ticket refund mechanism for large-scale performance activities, set a reasonable level of ticket refund fees, and protect the legitimate right of ticket buyers to refund tickets. Yue Yushan mentioned that even if the platform does not deliberately set up "bounce tickets," when consumers buy the wrong ticket or need to refund the ticket, they will directly charge a 50% handling fee, which may not be a reasonable and legal behavior.

Under normal circumstances, consumers rarely take photos and collect evidence in advance when purchasing goods and services, so they face the problem of "providing evidence" when protecting their rights. In this regard, Yue Jiushan introduced that consumers can prove the products and services they plan to buy through the background search records, as well as the final payment records, so as to prove that the final purchase results do not match expectations. At the same time, they should also keep relevant ticket purchase records and payment information. After finding problems, they can first negotiate and communicate with the platform. If the negotiation fails, they can call 12315 to complain, or report and report to the market supervision department, or they can directly file a lawsuit with the people’s court to solve the problem through litigation.

Yue Yushan suggested that when consumers conduct transactions on the Internet, they must determine whether the purchased goods and services are correct. In addition, merchants should operate in good faith during the business process and do not seek improper benefits through other means.

The official announcement of "Qingyu Nian 3" was launched, and the five protagonists were replaced. Yan Bingyun’s corner invited Xiao Zhan again.

"Qingyu Nian" is a series of classics created by screenwriter Wang Tie and director Sun Hao, and jointly created by Zhang Ruoyun, Li Qin, Chen Daoming, Wu Gang, Li Xiaoran, Tian Yu, Song Yi, Guo Qilin and others. The play is adapted from the novel of the same name by Cat Network and has been broadcast in three parts. At present, the first and second parts have already appeared. After the conclusion of "Qingyu Nian 1", news about the second part appeared in just one month, but what no one expected was that the release of "Qingyu Nian 2" made the audience wait for four years. Now, "Qingyu Nian 2" has officially ended, and the news of the third installment also appeared, which led everyone to ask, is this "Qingyu Nian 3" going to be on for three or four years? The answer is not so! "Qingyu Nian 3" was officially launched, and the five protagonists were replaced, and Yan Bingyun invited Xiao Zhan again. As we all know, the reason why "Qingyu Nian 2" was delayed for so long was mainly due to the environmental factors at that time. Not only the play, but many works were delayed because of those three years, but now it is completely different, so the launch of the play should be smooth sailing. Of course, although "Qingyu Nian 3" will soon be put on the schedule as hoped, the selection of actors is still the top priority. After all, this is the key point of a drama, so I will mainly introduce the general list of the drama. In the preparation of "Qingyu Nian 3", almost the vast majority of the lead actors have returned to the filming of the drama, including Zhang Ruoyun, Li Qin, Chen Daoming, Tian Yu, Li Xiaoran, Xin Zhilei, Song Yi, Guo Qilin, Liu Duanduan, Zhang Haowei, Gao Shuguang and more than 20 other actors. In addition to the return of many of the above protagonists, in the cast section of "Qingyu Nian 3", there are also many roles that have changed actors, among which Ye Qingmei, Ye Linger, Yan Bingyun and others are the most eye-catching. Although Ye Qingmei’s role has not appeared many times, it has always been in everyone’s memory, but her stories and legends have always been throughout, especially in "Qingyu Nian 3", so the candidate for this role is about to be screened again. However, it is interesting that most of the news on the Internet about the candidate for Ye Qingmei’s role points to Tang Yixin. As a flower with good looks, acting skills and popularity, Tang Yixin has a lot of faulty works, and it is easy to play a Ye Qingmei. In addition,In "Qingyu Nian 1", the popular male sidekick, Bingyun, has also ushered in a sudden increase in scenes, which is enough in the second installment

1905 movie network news The film continues to have a strong box office trend, ranking first in the single-day box office for several consecutive days, and the total box office is about to break through the 500 million mark. The film has also been officially released in Hong Kong on July 21. At the Hong Kong premiere, Johnnie To and other well-known filmmakers appeared one after another to wish the film continued the momentum of the mainland box office and achieved great results in Hong Kong.

In fact, apart from the exciting scenes, the tense plot, and the core worthy of further investigation, "Detective War" also has a unique flavor in terms of "joy". In the "Detective Return" feature clip released by the film, it is a wonderful medicine that soothes the nerves of the audience after the film war. In the clip, Li Jun, who plays the "Mad Detective", after returning to the police force, makes many netizens shout "Help" because "Detective has rolled up the police force!"

The movie "Detective War" is directed and produced by a famous Hong Kong filmmaker, supervised by Zhu Shuyi, and joined by Liu Qingyun, Lin Li,,,,,, and many other powerful stars. The film is being screened nationwide!

The genius detective also called on everyone to "roll up"

Liu Qingyun rectifies the workplace laughing and crying audience

At the end of "Detective War", "Crazy Detective" Li Jun finally returned to the police force after a life-and-death battle, became a criminal investigation consultant of O Ji, and was treated with courtesy by the police force and welcomed by all the police. However, his subsequent speech surprised everyone, because he openly said: "None of us are detective, we only need to do our best to investigate the case, and always ask ourselves if we have checked the wrong case!" Then he began to ask everyone "can’t go home, can’t see family, can’t date, can’t watch football, can’t sing K, can’t play games…" Even asked everyone to "can’t watch movies"!

This episode of "The Return of the Detective" made the audience laugh and cry directly, and they all shouted "It turns out that the detective can also be curled like this", "Sir Li himself is a genius, and he has to curl ordinary people, and he is afraid", "The police’s inner OS: Sir Li begged for mercy", and many netizens joked in the comment area: "Can’t watch a movie? Can you still watch" Detective War "?" Many people said that the seemingly neurotic Liu Qingyun in the film was "a little cute" when he rectified the workplace. I didn’t expect that the detective had such a side. Sure enough, "Mr. Liu, a citizen," has excellent acting skills.

The Hong Kong premiere of "Detective War" was attended by all the stars

Johnnie To Hong Jinbao appears on the movie platform

It is reported that "Detective Wars" held a grand premiere in Hong Kong, China on the evening of July 19.

When asked if the two would have the opportunity to work together again in the future, Wei Jiahui laughed and said it would depend on Liu Qingyun’s willingness.

The movie "Detective War" is currently in theaters!

Wen | Fangfang, New Economic Observer Mission

On December 13, 2022, Geely Automobile officially announced that its high-end pure electric brand Extreme Krypton Automobile had secretly submitted the IPO registration documents to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7. At this point, this "traditional new force" established less than two years ago began to break through the IPO.

The data shows that in 2022, a total of nearly 72,000 new cars were delivered, which further narrowed the gap with the new forces’ head camp. However, despite the rapid growth, there are many "problems" in Krypton cars compared with "Wei Xiaoli": performance loss, low gross profit margin, and doubtful high-end positioning are very prominent. Nowadays, the extremely krypton car in the initial stage of development is so eager to go public, is it really hot enough?

01, a rising star, losses.

Compared with other brands of Geely Automobile, the daily performances of Krypton Automobile, which was established in 2021, are showing its more independent existence. But no matter from the development process or business performance, we can’t put it outside Geely Automobile to observe.

Before Krypton Automobile, Geely Automobile had tried many times to transform and upgrade with electrification, but it didn’t splash much water in the new energy market.

In 2015, Geely Automobile released the new energy strategy of "Blue Geely Action" and set an extremely aggressive sales target: by 2020, the sales of new energy vehicles will account for 90% of the total sales. However, at that time, Geely Automobile bet on "oil to electricity", which led to a general market reaction. In 2019, Geely Automobile launched a geometric brand focusing on the field of high-end pure electric vehicles, which is at the same level as Lectra, and the degree of attention can be seen.

But again, the geometric brand has little thunder and rain, and has not broken out its due potential. In 2020, Geely Automobile actually sold 68,000 new energy vehicles (including Geely, Link and Geometry brands), and the proportion of new energy was only 5.15%, far from reaching the target of 90%.

Until March 2021, Geely once again launched the extremely krypton car that positioned the high-end electric vehicle market, while the geometric car returned to the mainstream mass market. Once the former came out, it quickly launched the first mass-produced new car with an average sales price of more than 300,000 yuan, and ran all the way up with the strong support of the group.

Drawing of the delivery table of the new car-making forces in 2022: New Economic Observation Mission

In 2022, Kyk 001 delivered nearly 72,000 new cars, and the average order amount reached 336,000 yuan. Especially in the fourth quarter of 2022, the sales volume of Krypton in January 2001 exceeded 10,000 vehicles for three consecutive months, which was basically able to compete with the head camp of the new forces. It is also the ever-increasing sales of Krypton 001 that makes the capital market begin to re-evaluate the prospective map of Geely Automobile’s new energy.

But the question is, is Geely’s electrification transformation really successful this time? I’m afraid it’s too early to draw a conclusion. Because cars sell well, it doesn’t mean high profitability. At this point, new forces such as "Wei Xiaoli" have already had a deep understanding.

First of all, like "Wei Xiaoli", Krypton cars sell well, but their operating conditions are not satisfactory. Geely Automobile’s interim financial report in 2022 shows that in the first half of 2021 -2022, Kyo Automobile achieved revenue of 2.868 billion yuan and 8.828 billion yuan respectively. However, under the rapid growth of revenue, the net loss is constantly expanding. In the same period, the brand’s net loss reached 1.01 billion yuan and 759 million yuan respectively. In other words, in just one and a half years, Krypton has lost 1.769 billion yuan.

The crazy "burning money" of sub-brands also directly dragged down the overall profitability of Geely Automobile. In the first half of 2021-2022, the net profit of Geely Automobile was 4.847 billion yuan and 1.552 billion yuan respectively, and the year-on-year decline rate of net profit reached 12.4% and 34.81% respectively. As for the reasons for the further expansion of losses, Geely Automobile stated directly in the financial report that the relatively high operating costs of Krypton Automobile in the early stage of development and the confirmation of share-based payment fees in the current period were one of the reasons that adversely affected the profitability of the Group during the period.

It can be said that the climbing road of Krypton automobile is based on Geely automobile’s continuous blood transfusion. Nowadays, extremely krypton cars are eager for IPO. On the one hand, it can be seen that the capital market still shows great tolerance for new forces; On the other hand, it is also the bad situation caused by the group’s long-term blood transfusion behind the crazy burning of money by extremely krypton cars, which is in urgent need of IPO financing.

02, the core indicators are not good, not as good as "Wei Xiaoli"

Geely Automobile’s explanation of the development status of Krypton automobile in the financial report also gave the latter time to change course. However, with the acceleration of the electrification transformation of traditional car companies and the crazy invasion of cross-border people such as Huawei and Xiaomi, the competition faced by extremely-krypton cars is becoming increasingly fierce, and this battle is more filled with strong smoke compared with the increasingly mature head camp of new forces.

Schematic diagram of the comparison of the revenue of the new car-making forces in the first half of 2022 Tabulation: New Economic Observation Mission

First of all, from the volume point of view, the positioning of Krypton 001 has a certain competitive relationship with "Wei Xiaoli" and so on. In recent months, it has broken the sales performance of 10,000 vehicles, posing a great threat to the models such as Weilai ET5 and Tucki P7. However, judging from the volume of both sides, the revenue of extremely-krypton cars still cannot be compared with "Wei Xiaoli". According to the data of various financial reports, in the first half of 2022, Weilai, LI and Xpeng Motors achieved revenues of 20.2 billion yuan, 18.2 billion yuan and 14.8 billion yuan respectively, while the revenue of Krypton Automobile was only 8.8 billion yuan.

Graphic tabulation of gross profit margin of the new force of making cars in the first half of 2022: new economic observation group

At the same time, judging from the gross profit margin of various companies, there is a big gap between the profitability of extremely krypton cars and the head camp of new forces. According to An Conghui, CEO of Krypton Automobile, in the first half of 2022, the gross profit margin of Krypton automobile was around 5%. In the same period, the gross profit margins of LI, Weilai and Xpeng Motors reached 22.09%, 13.8% and 11.55% respectively.

The more serious situation is that Li Xiang, the founder of LI, revealed that the company is about to reach the turning point of breakeven. Li Bin, the founder of Weilai, also said that it is expected to break even in the fourth quarter of 2023. Obviously, the first batch of new car-making forces have touched the threshold of performance and profitability, while extremely krypton cars are still struggling in the whirlpool of losses.

Despite the poor performance, the capital market’s evaluation of extremely krypton cars is not low. In August, 2021, Krypton Auto completed the Pre-A round of strategic financing of US$ 500 million (equivalent to RMB 3.24 billion), with five ecological partners including Intel Capital and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited participating. After the completion of the investment, five companies got 5.6% of the shares of Extreme Krypton Automobile, and Geely Automobile’s shareholding dropped to 48%, but it is still the single largest shareholder of Extreme Krypton Automobile. At that time, the valuation of Krypton cars had reached $9 billion.

According to informed sources, this IPO in the United States will seek a valuation of more than 10 billion US dollars, and it is planned to be listed in new york as early as the second quarter of 2023. The reason why we abandoned the HKEx and chose new york as the listing place is to seek a higher valuation.

Looking at the new force "predecessors" car companies, "Wei Xiaoli" has taken the lead in listing in the United States. It took four years, six years and five years for the three companies to go public. If Krypton can really successfully pass the IPO within the predicted time, it means creating a record of the shortest time to market for new forces. And its valuation of nearly 70 billion yuan, although there is still a certain gap with Weilai (134 billion yuan) and Ideal (156.7 billion yuan), has surpassed the current market value of 57.6 billion yuan in Xpeng Motors and the zero-running car listed in September last year (the market value as of January 13 was 26.7 billion yuan).

It can be seen that although the performance is not satisfactory, the capital market still has high hopes for extremely krypton cars. However, there is a lesson that the stock price of the zero-run car broke and fell by more than 33% on the first day of listing. It is still unknown whether the extremely-krypton car can re-sample for the listing of new forces.

03, "Benchmarking Tesla", the road to high-end is not easy.

In addition to the embarrassing status quo, the problem of the extreme krypton car is that "ambition is not worthy of ability." From the emphatic wording of "the average order amount exceeds 336,000 yuan" in the sales posters of each issue, we can see that it is imperative for extreme krypton cars to hit the high end. After all, according to the definition of "high-end models" by the Federation, the starting price of products must exceed 300,000 yuan.

However, in the upsurge of "benchmarking Tesla" on the Internet, Extreme Krypton 001 played a configuration beyond Tesla such as "712km long battery life", hoping to raise the product positioning. However, in Tesla’s repeated price reduction boom, Krypton has lost its vital price advantage. As for the level of revenue and profitability, the two are not an order of magnitude.

One of the most critical problems that hinder krypton cars from taking the high-end road is that product problems emerge one after another.

On January 1, 2023, Extreme Krypton Automobile announced that the new Extreme Krypton 001 was officially launched, and the new car was fully upgraded at the configuration level. However, it failed to take into account the rights and interests of old car owners. Since January 2nd, there have been hundreds of complaints about "sales promise not fulfilled" in the online complaint platform, ranking first in the complaint list.

According to the old owner of Krypton 001, after the launch of the new model of 001, the "old" owners who decided in advance have received the "overlord clause" to cancel the lifetime warranty, and the related rights and interests have also shrunk. The car owners accused the car of "cutting leeks" and did not hesitate to make false marketing to harm the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

In addition, some car owners revealed that in addition to the change of rights and interests, the car also unilaterally locked the order automatically, which was inconsistent with the information promised at the beginning, and today’s terms are even more unreasonable. As of press time, Extreme Krypton Automobile has not announced the handling results of this incident.

Complaints against extremely krypton cars (partial) Image source: Car Quality Network

The actual situation is that there is a precedent for the "false marketing" of extremely krypton cars. On New Year’s Day last year, Extreme Krypton Automobile released the rights and interests of the Spring Festival, which led to the price of new cars under the same configuration being lower than the purchase price years ago, which triggered the rights protection of old car owners. After several rounds of games, Krypton finally reached a settlement with the old car owners in the form of "returning 5,000 yuan".

Since then, Krypton 001 has also experienced various questions and problems such as "disguised price increase", "replacement of motor", "EC light-sensing canopy goods are not on the right board" and "order delay". More importantly, after the incident, the authorities never paid enough attention to the owner of the extremely krypton car. Instead, they responded indifferently by destroying misleading legends and perfunctory apologies, which made the owner even more annoyed.

As we all know, one of the biggest differences between new forces and traditional car companies is that they are good at user marketing and often play the banner of "deeply linking users" in order to win the favor of more consumers. However, judging from the company’s performance, although it classifies itself as a new force, it still has the "arrogance and prejudice" of traditional car companies in its bones. This simple and rude response has had a negative impact on the brand image.

On January 9th of this year, the second new car, Extreme Krypton 009, was officially mass-produced, and it is expected to be officially delivered in the second half of January. The new car hit the "high-end" goal again, and the prices of the two models were 499,000 yuan and 588,000 yuan respectively.

However, even Jason Lin, vice president of Extreme Smart Technology, once said, "To meet the high end, it is not how much money is used to measure the high end, but whether you can represent the most important products in that market." No matter from the perspective of copying the bottom chip of Krypton 001 completely or the battery scheme that has not been optimized and upgraded, it is obvious that Krypton 009 has not controlled the core technology well.

To add insult to injury, the problem of false propaganda of Qianqiu Kyo 001 has not been properly solved, and Kyo 009 was controversial because of the advertisement "All pets are love" on the day of listing, and finally ended up deleting the advertisement. Prior to this, Li Xiang also questioned the interior space of the extremely krypton 009 and "poured cold water" on the listing of the new car. Nowadays, Krypton 009 has not been mass-produced and delivered, and it has suffered from public opinion crises one after another. This is really not a good sign.

For a company to be listed, the establishment time is too short, the loss situation of the company is increasing, and the product quality problems have been repeatedly criticized, which will become a stumbling block on the road to sprint IPO. Whether Geely can achieve the goal of high-end by relying on Krypton 009 can be successfully achieved, I am afraid it will take a long time to investigate.

Special feature of 1905 film network "Ex" is always an eternal topic. I believe that there is always a song belonging to it in many people’s song lists. Fish LeongI sang, "This moment suddenly feels so familiar/like it was being shown at the same time yesterday and today/my tone turned out to be like you/not the evidence that we loved";JJ LinSing "ex" as, "Don’t tell her/I still miss her/It’s easier to let go of hate than love. When tears block your chest/Let silence/take the place of all answers".

In the New Year’s Eve of 2017-18, a film "Ex-3: Goodbye to Ex-3" set off the market, and a film "Decent" made the story of Meng Yun (Han Geng) and Jia Lin (Kelly) a "difficult story" for many viewers. The lyrics "Breaking up should be decent/no one should say sorry/no debt/I dare to break my heart", which brings their final separation out of a new emotional point.

The story of the two people has regrets, or is unfinished, and almost everyone is looking forward to it. So what will happen next?selfEx-4: Early Marriage(hereinafter referred to as "predecessor 4") Since the official announcement, the number of people who want to see is far ahead, and it has exceeded one million on both platforms.Only after this "decent farewell" with my predecessor, the story went to "early marriage".

Before talking about "predecessor 4", we still need to understand why the "predecessor" series can last for a long time.

Looking back at the film history of China, few love movies IP have the opportunity to shoot three or more cases like the "predecessor" series. To a great extent, the popularity of the "Ex" series is due to the seemingly dramatic conflict of story lines, which can also make some viewers empathize and express their emotions.

The sense of reality under the drama comes from the fact that when director Yu-sheng Tian created this series, he took materials from life, recorded the emotional stories of friends around him, and then refined them.

As the creator grows older, the story slowly begins to enter a new link — — Marriage.Just like vice president of China Film Directors Association, famous producer, screenwriter and planner.Wang HongweiAfter the screening interview, it was said that "Previous 4" would be different from the past three films, and it was obvious that director Yu-sheng Tian had grown up to understand emotions.

It is true that when filming "Ex 4", director Yu-sheng Tian and starring Han Geng and Ryan all entered a new stage in their emotional life. Looking back at the lines of the past three films, Yu-sheng Tian even lamented that "I can’t write it now, which is a documentary reflection of that age".

The same is true for the audience of the "predecessor" series. After ten years, from the student days of that year, or just entering the society, most of them are now facing marriage and the "daily necessities" after marriage.

Under the eternal topic of "marriage", "Former 4" explores the more detailed key point — — Facing marriage with blind date (Meng Yun) and the "marriage cooling-off period" for couples to welcome marriage (Yu Fei) — — One of their core topics is the habit in emotion.

Meng Yunhe and Yu Fei (Ryan) are just like "two sides of one body" for habit.How many people, like Meng Yun, have had a vigorous emotional experience even if they don’t have the "supreme treasure" emotional expression. This experience has also become the key to making it difficult to cross yourself and start a new relationship. In today’s words, it is "sequela of breakup" — — Afraid of starting a new relationship, insecure about feelings, afraid of loneliness and getting along, afraid to try and touch.

In this state, many people are used to living alone, and the so-called "loneliness rating test" items on the Internet are no longer important, just as the lines in the movie say, "When you find that eating, watching movies, exercising and going to the supermarket can be done by yourself, you will gradually get used to this kind of loneliness."

Often at this time, parents will be more anxious and start the marriage promotion mode.From rejection to acceptance, young people now have their own understanding of blind date, from relatives to members who are willing to recharge their dating software — — At least for them, even if it is not for the purpose of marriage and love, it can become another new social possibility in this fast-paced life.

The description of the details in Ex-4 is extremely ingenious, which blends into feelings and is higher than reality, and skillfully handles the interpersonal relationship of contemporary young people in blind date. This subtle reality is interesting, and even echoes the "predecessor table" at the beginning of "predecessor raiders" (2014).

Of course, some people naturally expect to meet "soulmate" on blind date.Meng Yun’s blind date was not smooth until he met a lawyer, willow (Cya Liu Play) — — The opening does not have a strong purpose, but the humorous opening becomes a plus item. Getting along with each other is like entering the slow pace of student days, watching the stars. At this time, the movie offers another golden sentence, "People with single beliefs are more likely to meet soul mates, and such people treat their feelings more purely."

It’s just that compared with willow’s bravery, Meng Yun has become more embarrassed. He will write an article about "being used to being alone", but as Zi Wang (Romeo) said, "You are not used to being alone, but afraid of changing the present."

Sometimes, this change is "suffocating". Even if they are on the same frequency, a person begins to appear in life, which may change the pace of life, and the spread from point to point seems to have a lot of constraints.

This is not only Meng Yun’s mentality when facing willow, but also the problem that Yu Fei faces when getting along with Xiaodian (Mengxue Zeng).

Compared with Meng Yun’s twisted personality, Yu Fei is more straightforward in getting along with Tiny Point. A "Confession Bureau" in "Former 3" shows that this group of young people are calm and comfortable with their feelings, not binding each other, but also giving themselves space. Only when it comes to "Ex 4", when Yu Fei proposes "marriage", will he be worried that he can really enter the marriage state smoothly?

They continued all the styles in their previous relationship, carried out honesty to the end, and started the "marriage cooling-off period".

When a person starts to live in a house, it is necessary to share the whole wardrobe, even all the accommodation in the house, and there will be objects different from the decoration style, but this is the "tolerance" and "tolerance" faced by getting along. It’s just that this tolerance is a little more competitive, and both of us want to go to a better state and give each other a sense of security.

The original intention of each other is pure, just a buffer for emotional progress.This anxiety about marriage is just another emotion of young people nowadays — — Worried about divorce. Therefore, Yu Fei and Xiaodian constantly use the "confession bureau" to correct the trajectory of two people, but marriage is no more than love. At the same time, it is more like a game of "two people and three feet", acting in tandem to balance the pace of two people.

As Tong Liya said after the premiere of Ex-4, "Everyone should think about how to get into a marriage, and then how to go on well in the marriage."

So, did Meng Yun and Yu Fei give the answer at the end of the movie?It can only be said that "Ex 4" gives an emotional answer that belongs to the two of them at the moment. But at least the film cuts to the current urban youth’s attitude towards emotion, facing and even reflecting. As for what the final answer will be, it seems that it belongs to them.This is also one of the most attractive places in the "predecessor" series.

From "Previous Raiders" to "Previous 4", the development of the plot will have an ending and a conclusion, but the feelings will not.

The creative team is also keen on the observation of emotions. He did not instill these contents into the audience very boring, nor did he attempt to preach the truth. Instead, he opened them in a comedy way, but always when he was caught off guard, the tears of the audience came down.

It may just be the emotional white paper of urban youth. Every story is innovating, and emotions are close to the times, looking for resonance.

In 2014, the "Previous Raiders" made the issue of "predecessor" no longer heavy; In 2015, "Ex 2" let everyone face love seriously and feel the two-way love; In 2017, "Ex 3" left his dignity in the breakup; In 2023, "Ex 4" turned decency into a "goodbye" of Jia Lin, but left love to the habit and still had to learn to "let go".

The "Ex" series also seems to create a state of love for the audience. Laughter when in love and tears when breaking up can be experienced in an immersive way. By the time of "Previous 4", this experience had a diversified interpretation.

Everyone will also be curious, will there be a follow-up story in the "predecessor" series?

As Yu-sheng Tian said, more life experiences are needed. After all, the stories of the "Ex" series have been hidden in the reality of laughter and tears.

"Wen Jie will be the first mainstream brand to fall down this year." Adi (pseudonym) sighed. Adi is one of the first brands to sell in the world. He worked in a luxury car brand for many years and joined the world two years ago with the word "Huawei". But at the end of February, he chose to leave.

At present, this conclusion is premature and somewhat absolute. However, from the public data, compared with the sales performance in January and February this year, the industry has not yet stepped out of the sales trough. According to the sales report issued by Cyrus, in March, the sales volume of the industry was 3,679 vehicles, which was significantly lower than the monthly sales volume of over 10,000 vehicles last year. Within the realm of question, greater changes have also taken place.

On the morning of March 31, an announcement of "Resolution on Huawei Not Building Cars" inside Huawei was circulated on the Internet. According to the news, the resolution was issued by Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei, and once again stressed that Huawei does not build cars and is valid for 5 years. Ren Zhengfei specifically emphasized that Huawei /HUAWEI could not be used in vehicle publicity and appearance.

On the afternoon of the same day, at the press conference of Huawei’s 2022 annual report, Xu Zhijun, vice chairman and rotating chairman of Huawei, once again stressed: "Some departments, individuals or partners are abusing Huawei’s brand. In the process of investigating this matter, the brand built by Huawei for more than 30 years will not be abused by anyone. Huawei doesn’t make cars, and it doesn’t have any brands of cars. Huawei brand is strictly prohibited as an automobile brand. We will rectify internal promotional materials such as flagship stores and return to strategy. "

Then, it was reported publicly that Yu Chengdong, managing director of HUAWEI, CEO of BG and CEO of BU, a smart car solution, ordered that the removal of Celestial cars in Huawei stores involved all promotional materials of Huawei brand, especially the sinking market.

On April 3, in a Huawei experience store in a shopping mall in the suburbs of Tianjin, the words "Huawei asks the world" have disappeared from the publicity screen in the store, and the display boards at the license plates before and after the show have been replaced with "AITO". The pasting of the new license plate is obviously a little hasty, the rear license plate is a little distorted, and the double-sided tape used for pasting is even exposed.

Although there is no written logo of "HUAWEI asks the world" in the store, Huawei asks the world is still on the lips of store sales. When adding the WeChat of the in-store sales consultant, the nickname prefix suddenly shows "HUAWEI asks the world".

"Golden signboard" is not enough.

Summarizing the work experience in the field of inquiry in the past two years, Adi’s answer is: love is the deepest responsibility.

The reason why he thinks that the world of inquiry will "fall down" this year is not for his old club’s downfall, but for the future fate of the world of inquiry after "clearing the relationship" with Huawei.

In Adi’s impression, at the beginning of the establishment of the world, the manufacturer Cyrus has always been a humble existence. "The marketing and quality inspection of the brand are all led by Huawei, and even in the training courseware sold, Cyrus is not mentioned." Although he joined the brand in the world, all his work and performance are managed by Huawei. "Huawei will send a Huawei person to supervise in every store that sells cars, responsible for managing and conveying some guidelines from manufacturers and activity plans."

Adi’s feeling is that Huawei has always been a very strong presence, and the people who were stationed in the store at the beginning are very capable, which can help the sales people to make orders and sell better. "It sold very well at first, with an average of about three transactions a month. At that time, Huawei also wanted to make Cyrus a benchmark to prove its strength. "

Chen Jie (a pseudonym), another sales consultant who switched to Japanese brands from the world of inquiry, also has a deep understanding of Huawei’s strength. In the sales process, Huawei’s leading role is obvious. In 2022, it achieved a sales volume of 75,000 vehicles throughout the year, and was called "the fastest growing brand of new energy vehicles".

However, in the beginning of 2023, the price war in the automobile market intensified, and the sales volume in the world continued to decline. In 2023, the sales volume in January was 4,885 vehicles, down 56% from the previous month. In February, the sales volume dropped to 3,505 vehicles, down 21% from the previous month.

The pressure on the sales side has increased significantly. Since the beginning of this year, Adi obviously feels that Huawei is in a mess. "The preferential policies promoted by Huawei are said to be the lowest in history every time, and then it won’t be long before the activities are held again, and the price is even stronger than before."

After several times, Adi had no idea when communicating with customers, and could not confirm the preferential amount. "Internal policies are often inconsistent."

What makes Adi even more helpless is Huawei’s "involution" at the dealer level. "There are a lot of stores in a city, and each store recruits a lot of people. These stores are not the same boss, and the price is very serious." Adi said that in order to sell cars, peers kept each other’s prices down and even let their profits go.

Later, the professionalism of Huawei’s staff stationed in the store was also greatly reduced. "They don’t even understand Huawei’s basic policies."

At the same time, Huawei will have requirements for data such as test drive in the store, and most of this data can’t be completed. "There are many stores and many salespeople. In order to complete the task, the store will share it. Let’s find relatives and friends to complete it." For a long time, Adi and his colleagues were tired of completing the test drive data task in the store.

In this case, the loss of intentional customers has become the biggest problem. A lot of sales around Adi have lost many intentional customers because of the changeable prices and various "coquettish operations" in the store.

Due to the failure to complete the work task, the performance salary was deducted, and some sales people chose to leave their jobs. Artie is one of them.

A partner who starts a new stove

Although he has left, Adi is still paying attention to the world.

Adi and his former colleagues have discussed a lot about "drawing a clear line" between Huawei and the media. In their view, Huawei is somewhat "throwing a pot" in the case of poor overall sales at this time.

In the inner voice community of Huawei, Ren Zhengfei signed a post saying "Huawei doesn’t make cars", and Yu Chengdong left a message: "This era has changed, which will only make it more difficult for us! After a few years, everyone will understand! Leave time to test! " "For an industry, only in-depth insight and deep understanding can we grasp the correct direction! Mark it and come back in a few years! "

Since Huawei set foot in the automobile business in 2019, Yu Chengdong has been labeled as a "car maker". In February this year, the news that Wang Jun, the original Huawei smart car solution BU COO, was suspended came out, and the news that Yu Chengdong was fully responsible for BU was rampant. Immediately, photos of Yu Chengdong’s visits to Sellers and Aouita came out.

It seems that Huawei’s car-making route has become as radical and bold as himself.

At the beginning of March, "HUAWEI asked the world" appeared in the holiday poster released by HUAWEI terminal. Among the official accounts of the car, "AITO asked the world" was quietly replaced by "Huawei asked the world".

Promotional materials in offline stores are also updated synchronously. In the sinking market, the words "Huawei Auto" even appeared.

On March 30th, the day before Huawei and Cyrus "drew a clear line". Celestial’s company launched a brand-new new energy vehicle brand Blue Power, equipped with BYD Foday hybrid system. Sailis said that this is a brand new brand that is different from the outside world.

This is also regarded by the outside world as a signal that Cyrus is "planning ahead" and starting a new stove.

The change of HI mode partners is more obvious. It is reported that a senior executive of BAIC Polar Fox expressed his dissatisfaction with Huawei at a recent internal meeting. "We have cooperated with Huawei for so many years, and Huawei has gained a lot of voice. What have we got?" Under the bleak sales of Alpha created in cooperation with Huawei, BAIC has begun to promote the mother-baby parent-child model "Koala".

Another partner, GAC, has also undergone new changes. On March 27th, Guangzhou Automobile Group said that the AH8 project jointly built by Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an and Huawei was changed to independent development, and Huawei will participate as an important supplier. This means that the HI mode of GAC and Ai ‘an has fallen through.

In the public interview, Feng Xingya, general manager of Guangzhou Automobile Group, talked about the cooperation with Huawei and bluntly said that Guangzhou Automobile needs more brand characteristics. This just corresponds to the "soul theory" put forward by Chen Hong, the chairman of SAIC.

On April 1st, when Yu Chengdong attended the committee of 100 Forum on Electric Vehicles in China (2023), he said that Huawei was still under sanctions, and its partners were limited. "The new forces have their own intelligent pursuit, and it is unlikely to cooperate with us. It is also difficult for European, American and Japanese companies to choose Huawei. In the end, only traditional car companies are left." Yu Chengdong said.

An engineer from a head parts supplier told China Entrepreneur that Huawei seems to have neglected the brand dignity that traditional car companies value most, and planned a lot of cooperative car companies and models, which eventually became a constraint.

On April 6, the related content of "HUAWEI asks the world" has not been deleted from Huawei’s official accounts such as Huawei Terminal.

Huawei to ensure survival

Yu Chengdong insists that the cooperation has not changed. However, in the rapidly changing China market, it is becoming more and more difficult to do both the brand and Huawei’s automobile business.

In an interview with China Entrepreneur, Zhang Yun, global CEO of Rees Strategic Positioning Consulting and chairman of China, said that Huawei’s insistence on not building cars is a comprehensive choice.

"Huawei’s mobile phone business has been affected in the United States. If the car moves the’ cheese’ of European and American companies again, it will be’ killed’ in overseas core markets." Zhang Yun said that this is a statement spread from within Huawei and also reflects Huawei’s overall strategic considerations.

"If Huawei is a core supplier of smart cars, the technical value of core components is very high, and its value may be higher than that of a car-making enterprise." Zhang Yun believes that from the perspective of business value, technology is not only an area that Huawei is good at, but also can create more value.

In Zhang Yun’s view, just because Huawei can make a good mobile phone does not mean that it can also make a good car. "It takes a lot longer to make a car than a mobile phone. Interlacing is like a mountain. " This view seems to confirm the choice of Ren Zhengfei, the founder of Huawei.

According to the financial report data released by Huawei on March 31st, in 2022, the company’s net profit decreased by 68.7% year-on-year, and the cash flow from operating activities decreased by 70.2% year-on-year. Although Meng Wanzhou, the rotating chairman, has repeatedly stressed that Huawei’s cash flow is still sufficient, the declining data has already reflected Huawei’s survival status in the current market environment.

As early as last year, Ren Zhengfei published the famous "Cold Theory" based on the changes in the domestic and international market environment, saying that Huawei should take survival as the highest program, focus on strategy and burn less money.

The impact of the car-making business seems to be contrary to Ren Zhengfei’s strategy.

The data shows that Huawei BU is the only loss-making business unit. China Entrepreneur learned from Huawei officials that BU, a Huawei smart car solution, has invested 3 billion US dollars in R&D since its establishment, with as many as 7,000 R&D personnel.

In the 2022 annual report, Huawei’s sales revenue in carrier business, enterprise business and terminal business was 284 billion yuan, 133.2 billion yuan and 214.5 billion yuan respectively. Among them, the revenue of smart car solution parts business was 2.1 billion yuan.

From the perspective of Huawei’s overall business, after the terminal mobile phone business encounters sanctions, Huawei may not be able to bear the car business to get into trouble again. The first task is to ensure the safety and survival of its main business.

Many people in the industry also believe that whether from the basic logic of building a car or the increasingly fierce market competition, Huawei should really be more rational in building a car.

In his speech at the committee of 100 Forum, Yu Chengdong said: "In the past, Huawei leaders, including Ren Zong, wanted to become a Tier1 supplier similar to Bosch, but now the conditions of this strategy seem to be untenable."

Some time ago, Ti mo Feng, a tens of millions of fans who disappeared in the live broadcast room for nearly half a year, suddenly announced his comeback live broadcast.

▲ Ti mo Feng photos taken by ▲Vogue Me.

When her career was in full swing, she stopped broadcasting for half a year without warning, and the outside world also talked about whether she was going to retire quickly. Now I’m finally back. While a large number of eagerly awaited fans are waving their arms and shouting, a news of "Ti mo Feng’s advanced thyroid cancer" has set off a hot search in Weibo.

Maybe some friends who don’t pay much attention to the live broadcast have no idea who this is. Let’s briefly introduce her first.

This is a super online celebrity who is famous for singing. Have you ever overheard a popular Tik Tok Divine Comedy "You said that you like the Mori school, and I got an extra G, just like removing half of LOVE and changing it into loli… …" It was sung by Ti mo Feng.

▲ "Buddha Girl" sign gesture dance. Her Tik Tok has released several short videos about "The Girl of Buddhism", and one of them has nearly 5 million likes. It is conservatively estimated that the number of views of this song is absolutely hundreds of millions.

Ti mo Feng can be regarded as the highest figure in the industry, and even the most successful anchor in history. Various topics and controversies also make her one of the most popular anchors.

She is different from the e-commerce anchors like Weiya and Li Jiaqi, who sell goods. She mainly engages in live broadcast of show (attracting users’ attention through the anchor’s face value, talent, emotional intelligence and interactive ability, and using these abilities to show and get rewards from fans, which is the main source of income for the anchor). Simply put, it is to attract audiences by performing and interacting. In 2014, I made a fortune from fighting fish. With my lovely appearance and sweet singing voice, I became a fighting fish sister with tens of millions of flows.

▲ Ti mo Feng is the first anchor in the history of Betta TV live broadcast platform to exceed 20 million.

Very ambitious in career, spanning bilibili, Tik Tok, variety show and singer.

▲ In 2019, bilibili was signed at a high price.

▲ In 2019, the number of fans of Tik Tok reached 32 million. At that time, she was the first among a large number of show anchors who settled in Tik Tok from YY, Momo, Betta and Huya platforms.

▲ The first solo concert was held in 2019, and the fare was comparable to that of a first-line singer.

Participate in various popular variety shows.

▲ From top to bottom are Happy Camp, Everyday Up, Masked Singers Guess, and Jiangsu Satellite TV New Year’s Eve party.

There is another picture that can better illustrate her position in the industry.

▲ A picture of "online celebrity anchor income ranking" counted by a magazine once circulated on the Internet, which was later dismissed by the magazine as a fabrication. Although the data is unreliable, this ranking also shows Ti mo Feng’s absolute top position in the live broadcast industry.

The reason for the comeback news was that Ti mo Feng was interviewed by Tik Tok program and told about his illness and recovery in the past six months.

▲ Ti mo Feng was interviewed by Tik Tok program "White show". When the host asked about her illness, Ti mo Feng said that her thyroid cancer was in the advanced stage of malignancy, which was unknown not only to her fans, but also to her parents.

Talking about the situation when he was diagnosed, Ti mo Feng knew that his first reaction to cancer was to ask the doctor if he could still sing.

When told by the doctor that "you can’t sing", Ti mo Feng felt that there was no point in living. This girl really loves singing.

After the operation, my voice was hoarse and I didn’t want to live for a time. Fortunately, my voice has basically recovered after many consultations and persistent training.

After the release of this interview, Ti mo Feng also officially responded in Weibo, saying that his body has recovered. "The operation has been done and the operation was very successful.".

▲ Ti mo Feng reminds girls not to have mental internal friction and not to accumulate negative energy; And comfort the fans who are worried and miss her. "As long as you listen, I will keep singing."

After the news came out, netizens praised her strength and optimism, and some netizens questioned that the word "late stage" was suspected of exaggerating her blog. Some people who knew the relevant fields came out to popularize science. According to Ti mo Feng’s surgery and good recovery, it should belong to "differentiated thyroid cancer". Patients with such cancer under 55 years old only have "stage I and stage II", and there is no such thing as "late stage".

I’m not a professional in medicine, it’s hard to say, but it’s certain that mental stress, irregular work and rest, anxiety and so on will have a direct negative impact on thyroid. Although thyroid cancer is a relatively mild cancer (many people call it "lazy cancer", and the tumor grows slowly and progresses slowly, so it has a high clinical cure rate), it is also a serious illness. In addition, the disease has something to do with the anchor’s long-term high-pressure work, and the top anchor is not short of money to support his family. In my case, I would have to slow down the pace of work, but Ti mo Feng chose to start working non-stop quickly after recovery, which can only be really hard.

▲ Even during the half-year break, Weibo, Ti mo Feng maintained a high update frequency.

In August, she started her comeback.

First of all, it made its first live broadcast in Tik Tok, and after half a year’s suspension, it still achieved excellent premiere results, which shows its appeal.

▲ According to the official data, the number of people who watched the live broadcast of the first show exceeded 45 million, and the number of viewers reached 15.26 million. The highest online number of live broadcasts was 336,000, and the number of fans in the first show was 365,000.

In September, the live broadcast of singing tour began to travel all over the country. There are various passers-by perspectives in Tik Tok.

▲ From top to bottom, it is broadcast live in Chengdu, Wuhan, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. The video is from a watermark.

In order to increase exposure, he quickly accumulated popularity in Tik Tok, and also visited the live broadcast room of a brother "Crazy Xiao Yang Ge" in Tik Tok at present.

▲ "Crazy Xiao Yang Ge" (right) and "Crazy Big Yang Ge" (left) are twins. The short video of "Crazy Xiao Yang Ge" is mainly humorous, grounded and reversed. It moved from Aauto Quicker to Tik Tok in 2018 and now has 120 million fans. At 618 this year, Brother Xiao Yang and Simba Lianmai, the generous Simba, immediately gave a gift of 3 million.

‍ ▲ In 2022, with the help of Hefei government, "Crazy Xiao Yang Ge" bought 3,000 square meters of space for 103 million yuan and established the headquarters of Three Sheep Network Company in Hefei. Last year, the company earned 860 million yuan and paid 250 million yuan in taxes, which is comparable to that of local leading enterprises. This year, these figures may double. Viya used to be the first person in Hefei online celebrity’s economy, and now this banner has been given to her Anhui hometown Xiao Yang Ge. The video is from a watermark.

▲ On November 26th, at Hefei Olympic Sports Center, Brother Xiao Yang paid 30 million yuan for a star concert to give back to his fans, and invited Pu Shu, twins, Paul Wong, Silence Wang, Chopsticks Brothers, Faye Chan and other stars. The concert was "No tickets, no goods and no rewards". However, this money is also well spent. This concert made Brother Dayang get 800,000 yuan, and Xiao Yang got 4 million yuan for his selected account. "It’s the star’s turn to work for online celebrity," netizens lamented.

In recent months, Ti mo Feng has achieved remarkable results, and the number of fans who have dropped a lot in the past six months has started to increase.

▲ In less than 4 months, the number of fans in Tik Tok has increased by nearly 4 million.

I have to admire Ti mo Feng’s enthusiasm and perseverance.

There is no way to regain popularity these days, but there is an extremely involuted and distorted ecology in the live broadcast industry. In recent years, the news of online celebrity’s anchor’s sudden death is not unusual.

In March 2021, a million fans in Tik Tok, who were only 29 years old, died suddenly after eating and broadcasting online celebrity’s "Paopaolong".

▲ Tik Tok eats and broadcasts online celebrity’s "Paopaolong" (right). His main content of eating and broadcasting is to visit the cafeteria and show his amazing appetite with friends. It is reported that "Paopaolong" weighed 320 Jin before his death. Long-term overeating and severe obesity have long buried a huge health hazard.

▲ Every video of "Paopaolong" before his death has netizens reminding him to pay attention to his health.

Not only the head online celebrity are under extreme working intensity, but also the newcomers who just entered the business. The glamorous myth of making wealth attracts countless young people to flock in.

In November this year, a Henan college student died suddenly when he returned to his rental house to rest after nearly 9 hours of live broadcast of the company’s all-night game.

Why is he trying so hard to broadcast live?

▲ The reason is the "Cooperation Agreement" signed by the college student and the game live broadcast company. The company offers a basic salary of 3,000 yuan, provided that it meets the company’s requirements of "240 hours of live broadcast per month and 26 days of broadcasting".

Everyone knows that the anchor needs to overdraw his health.

▲ The legal affairs of the company involved said that there are indeed hidden dangers of overwork in the industry, but the relevant responsibilities are attributed to the anchor individual, and the company only wants to pay a pension of 5,000 yuan.

Is there someone pointing a gun at everyone who plunges into the live broadcast industry, so that they can’t stop, including Li Jiaqi, a rich man who has long declared that he wants to retire and "has a headache every day"?

Who in the end forced them to stay on the tide of traffic rather than overdraw their health or even run out of life?

Let’s start with Ti mo Feng. She is a very representative figure in the live broadcast industry. Her eight-year live broadcast struggle history is almost a microcosm of the development of the live broadcast industry. A large number of early online celebrity people she represents created the myth of grassroots fame with the most vigorous vitality. Let’s get a glimpse of the real living conditions in online celebrity.

Become a sister

Want face value, want talent, but also be able to broadcast live.

Now we are used to live broadcast for a long time, and the time goes back to 10 years ago, when webcasting was still a novelty.

Ti mo Feng was born in Wanxian County, Sichuan Province (now Wanzhou District, Chongqing) in 1991. He loved singing and dancing since he was a child. He was an activist in school theatrical performances, majored in broadcasting and performance at university, dreamed of becoming a singer, and liked to show himself on the network platform.

▲ In 2013, she sang a song at that time, which was not very popular, and she was recommended on the homepage. The screen name "Little Boy" should be taken from her real name "Feng Yanan".

In 2014, the betta platform, which focuses on the live broadcast of the game, was officially launched. She was regarded as the first batch of early adopters, which also made her catch up with the heyday of the live broadcast of the show. Before short video platforms such as Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker were involved in live broadcast, Betta was the largest live broadcast platform in China.

▲ Ti mo Feng’s early pictures in DouYu. In 2014, Ti mo Feng, who graduated from Beijing Normal University, Zhuhai, worked as a teacher in a junior college in Chongqing. During the day, she went to work and chatted with netizens while playing League of Legends in the betta live broadcast room at night, and often took her family with her.

Since then, Ti mo Feng has started her live broadcast career, working as a part-time anchor in Betta. At first, fighting fish didn’t have a reward function, and there was no income as an anchor. She just took live broadcast as a hobby and began to implement an almost crazy schedule.

Get up at five or six o’clock in the morning, get home from work at seven o’clock in the evening, eat and make up at eight o’clock, and finish at one o’clock in the morning, remove makeup and wash, and go to bed at two or three o’clock.

▲ Ti mo Feng started singing at the request of netizens because the game was so bad. In the betta anchor, her voice has obvious advantages, and she has gradually accumulated a lot of popularity. She is excited to have a large number of people willing to listen to her singing.

This day I feel that I will fall down in a month. Ti mo Feng has been like this for more than a year, and finally he is tired to lose his hair and his mental state is close to collapse. In 2015, she finally gave up her stable teaching job. At this time, her live broadcast income can be equal to her salary income, but she should not have expected to realize wealth freedom in the near future.

▲ Ti mo Feng, who takes the girl next door route, never basks in luxury houses, luxury cars and luxury bags on social media; Seeing a picture of Weibo who was practicing driving in 2015, the co-pilot’s "Xiaoxiang" bag seems to show that her financial resources have been quite extraordinary just one year after graduating from college.

At that time, there was a saying in the live broadcast world that "the female anchor wanted to be on fire, either selling cute or taking a sexy route".

▲ The early live broadcast was an era of "dancing with demons". YY, 9158 and other live broadcast platforms were full of various glamorous female anchors. At that time, the supervision was not strict, and it was common for live broadcasts to release soft pornography and beat the ball.

Ti mo Feng is a clean stream, and the signature of her studio is singing. She sings whatever songs the fans order, and she sings 40 to 50 songs a night, accompanying the fans conscientiously, and quickly sucking powder in the powerful betta anchor with "beautiful songs". In August, 2015, Ti mo Feng broke through one million fans in one year.

▲ Although I don’t take the sexy route, I occasionally make some little jokes that fans like.

Since 2016, the live broadcast industry has ushered in the golden age of capital. Platforms such as pepper live broadcast, Yingke live broadcast and Yi live broadcast have entered the market one after another, and staged a "Thousand Broadcast Wars". In order to grab the big anchor, each platform has spent a lot of money, and has a head anchor and fighting fish with constant capital blessing. For a time, the scenery is infinite.

▲ Betta fish was popular at that time, and there were four top female anchors of Betta fish, which were called the "four great singers" of Betta fish. First cousin, Ti mo Feng, Chen Yifa and Zhou Erke from left. After the first cousin and Zhou Erke were poached by Panda TV in Wang Sicong, Chen Yifa was banned from fighting fish because of her inappropriate remarks, and Ti mo Feng held the position of "First Sister Fighting Fish".

▲ In 2017, Ti mo Feng can receive more than 2 million rewards every month on the Betting Platform.

▲ In 2019, Betta went public in the United States, and CEO Chen Shaojie led four game anchors to ring the bell on Nasdaq. From the left, "Female Stream" in the console game board, "Xuxu Baby" in the DNF board, CEO Chen Shaojie, PDD in the lol board and YYF in the dota board. It is rumored that Panda TV in Wang Sicong offered a sky-high price of 300 million yuan for five years in order to dig the anchor PDD. Chen Shaojie, CEO of Betta Fish, was also questioned by netizens why he didn’t bring a sister Ti mo Feng. He explained that he didn’t bring an entertainment anchor because of the concept of live broadcast of Betta Fish.

Just this month, Chen Shaojie, CEO of Betta, was arrested on suspicion of opening a casino. As the leader of the game live broadcast industry, it is also embarrassing to end up like this … …

▲ It is rumored that some anchors of Betta opened a lottery in the live broadcast room, and the platform closed one eye for running water.

▲ The traditional live broadcast business has been severely squeezed by Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker, and the market value of Betta has dropped from the highest $6.5 billion to less than $300 million at present. In recent years, the head anchor of Betta has left the nest one after another. In 2019, Ti mo Feng left Betta. This year, Baby Xuxu, the absolute brother of Betta, also announced that he would bid farewell to Betta for five years and switch to Tik Tok.

▲ Ti mo Feng and Xu Xu’s baby were connected live, and one elder brother and one elder sister once again gathered in Tik Tok.

The update speed of the Internet industry is so fast. With the rise of pan-entertainment platforms such as short videos, the traditional live broadcast giant Betta has been abandoned by the times.

Back to Ti mo Feng.

She has reached 20 million fans, and her live broadcast time is also quite amazing. "There is no latest, only later." In addition to broadcasting every day, there are four or five live broadcasts a week until three or four in the morning.

Not only did I stay up late for a long time, but I also started to lose weight extremely because of fan comments, so I suffered from stomach problems.

▲ Ti mo Feng was attacked by many people for being fatter than in the live broadcast because she participated in a large-scale performance under the betta line, and some fans told her to eat less, so she made up her mind to lose weight. She was already petite and lost 40 kilograms in more than a year. She often only ate grapefruit and drank water, and finally got stomach trouble and needed long-term medication.

Why does Ti mo Feng care so much about what fans think?

First of all, she is a person with high self-demand and thinks that she needs to manage her body. It is also very important that fans are the lifeblood of the anchor.

There is a "symbiotic" emotional relationship between the anchor and the fans. The anchor creates an online intimacy for the fans, and the fans want to get the most intimate feedback by rewarding.

Local tyrants spend a lot of money just to get strong emotional feedback from the anchor, and even more, they spend a lot of money on PK rewards between local tyrants and big brothers, fighting for their heads, just to compete for who is the most popular "Big Brother Bang" today, and "Big Brother Bang" has the most sacred rights and status in the live broadcast room.

Therefore, brushing gifts is a face-to-face competition, and such an extravagant moment needs to be watched and worshipped.

At that time, Wang Sicong also enjoyed this feeling.

▲ Wang Sicong (ID "Travel Frog Wage") likes to wander around the live broadcast rooms of female anchors, and his hand is quite generous. He once brushed 80 super rockets (unit price is 2,000 yuan) in the live broadcast room in Ti mo Feng, and smashed 160,000 in one minute.

This kind of emotional connection will sometimes continue into real life. The social news of female anchors and big brother Bang Yi emerges one after another, such as love, gray trading, fraud and even murder cases.

Ti mo Feng and "Big Brother Tuhao" also caused a great controversy. It is widely believed that this incident made Ti mo Feng’s popularity fall to the altar.

The other side of traffic is facing controversy.

This local tyrant was ranked second in Ti mo Feng at that time, and his ID was "Fragrant White Lotus Su Huanjen", so rich that netizens were curious about his background.

▲ The unit price of the rocket is 500 yuan, and it costs 30,000 yuan a night.

▲ At that time, Ti mo Feng’s "List One" was a mysterious figure with an ID of "Light a cigarette in the morning" all the year round, and was called the general manager of cigarettes by betta netizens. He used to hold the highest record of 2.69 million in fighting fish contribution list, and he often gave a "rocket" to every song in the live broadcast room in Ti mo Feng.

In 2018, the second eldest brother was on CCTV news, and everyone knew that his background was a company accountant. He did something that made everyone stunned.

In order to save face in the live broadcast room and enjoy the feeling of the stars holding the moon, he used his position to misappropriate 9.3 million yuan of public funds to reward anchors and squander enjoyment, 9.3 million yuan … …

Because the hole was too big, I was afraid that the company’s audit at the end of the year would find out that the accountant Wang tried to commit suicide in the hotel, regretted it and asked for help. Finally, Wang was sentenced to seven years.

▲ According to news reports, Wang, who earns more than 3,000 yuan a month, has recharged more than 7 million yuan on various live broadcast platforms. By constantly saving money, Wang, who is married, and Yu, a female anchor in Shanghai, have developed into a lover relationship, and each time Wang privately squanders tens of thousands of yuan to capture his heart.

▲ Later, he was pulled out, and Wang was in love with Yu Sizhen, the female anchor of Panda TV. After being scolded by Keyboard Man for a year, Yu Sitong responded in Weibo. The general content is that she called 120 to save Wang. She was deceived by Wang and didn’t know that Wang had a family. She was rewarded with more than 1.2 million yuan through the platform, and the platform was deducted by half, and the company was deducted by half. It was not so much in her hand. Influenced by the public opinion of this matter, Yu Sizhen later left the live broadcast world.

The news didn’t mention anything about Ti mo Feng from beginning to end, but the news video quoted a live video of a female anchor. Although the face was coded, the familiar audience recognized the female anchor as Ti mo Feng at a glance.

Plus media reports will bring the most traffic "Ti mo Feng". Many netizens simply don’t bother to read the content, and directly think that the female anchor who mentioned Wang’s private meeting in the news is Ti mo Feng. This is one of the reasons why Ti mo Feng was pushed to the forefront of public opinion.

As soon as the news came out, netizens quickly grasped the specific amount that Wang rewarded each anchor, and Ti mo Feng was 1.6 million.

In the face of public opinion, Ti mo Feng immediately expressed his position in the live broadcast room, and was willing to cooperate with the law enforcement unit to return all the rewards.

Before the reward was over, there were waves of news.

First, it was revealed that Ti mo Feng and Wang had been lovers. Netizens listed a large number of screenshots of chat, transfer, offline party photos and hotel dating photos, but this part of the news was unconfirmed from beginning to end.

▲ A back photo, I really can’t say who this is.

Second, it was revealed that the marriage was hidden. Netizens pointed out that Ti mo Feng married another betta anchor, Cookie Mad, in June 2015 and divorced in July 2017.

▲ photo of the anchor "biscuit maniac". Many information such as their marriage registration, divorce registration, and flights together were all exposed on the Internet. Ti mo Feng never responded to this matter. In view of the fact that she sent a lawyer’s letter to all the relevant reporters and communicators warning rumors and infringement, the pictures of the news were not put down.

Third, it was derailed in the marriage. The netizen posted an intimate photo of her and a man without providing any time and place explanation.

Three waves broke down, and things became more and more serious, interspersed with Ti mo Feng, Chen Yifa and other betta female anchors.

Ti mo Feng finally sat still and was interviewed by the media in public, but she only responded to the reward of public funds.

▲ In an interview, Ti mo Feng admitted that she had met Wang at an offline party once, and there was no relationship between men and women.

She once again expressed her willingness to return the reward amount, but the betta platform told her that because the reward amount involves complex processes such as platform, company drawing and tax deduction, this matter should be handled by the platform.

In the eyes of many people, Ti mo Feng didn’t do what she said, but also "acted and stood again", which became a point that she was criticized by countless people later.

▲ Under the pressure of public opinion, Ti mo Feng shed tears in the interview.

Ti mo Feng’s response can’t calm the public opinion, the image of purity and sweetness is greatly reduced, and the popularity of the road has also fallen to the bottom, and he also sucked a lot of Bosnia and Herzegovina powder. A large number of netizens criticized her for "returning money", "sleeping with her", "hidden marriage" and "plastic surgery".

This incident has also caused great heat in the social level, and many topics have been discussed around this incident, including "whether the reward of public funds is a sale or a gift, whether the anchor should refund the money", "whether the reward of public funds should be recovered", "how much’ dirty money’ there is in the live broadcast platform", "how to improve the system to prevent the reward of public funds" and so on.

At the peak of public opinion, a large number of netizens poured into the live broadcast room in Ti mo Feng, and the barrage was filled with cheers from fans and curses from all directions.

In the face of surging attacks, Ti mo Feng was quite calm. Such a strong psychological quality is also tempered.

"When I first made a live broadcast, I would cry on the spot when I was sprayed randomly. The biggest growth brought by the live broadcast was that I changed from blx to a steel woman warrior."

At that time, Ti mo Feng, who was already the best in the live broadcast industry, was perhaps most helpless because she could not put on a bad face like a star artist, or shut down comments, barrage and fans, because the anchor’s job was to accompany the audience.

▲ Third-party statistics of the 2018 Betta anchor paid income list. Ti mo Feng ranked seventh in the overall list with 24 million yuan, and the entertainment anchor was second. The traffic disk is still quite stable, but the personal topic has exceeded the liquidity.

Ti mo Feng realized that her stamina in fighting fish was weak, and she had always dreamed of being a singer, so she tried to go to the center of the stage, or she wanted to get rid of the label of "online celebrity" which was considered low by the public at that time.

The star and live online celebrity infiltrated each other.

DouYu’s career has enabled Ti mo Feng to accumulate a large number of loyal fans. From obscurity to top-notch online celebrity, their contribution is undoubtedly the first.

▲ Ti mo Feng’s "youthful beauty" with small face, cold white skin, big eyes and pouting lips is deeply loved by otaku.

▲ Ti mo Feng’s photo of Men’s Wear.

▲ In Ti mo Feng’s offline fan support activity, Yishui’s male powder called for her at the top of her lungs.

In 2019, Ti mo Feng gave up his old club to fight fish, refused Huya, and did not choose Tik Tok and Aauto Quicker, which had already made a lot of noise, but signed a contract with bilibili. First, she thinks that artists in transition will need a bigger platform for music creation to absorb the flow of breaking circles. Second, it may be that bilibili’s sincerity of 50 million yuan moved her.

▲ The first live show in bilibili, Ti mo Feng. Rui Chen, CEO of Net Chuan bilibili, is also a mushroom (called by Ti mo Feng fans). He once parachuted into the live broadcast room of Ti mo Feng’s first show to give a crazy reward and give a full face.

By the standards of a show head anchor with tens of millions of fans on the whole network, Ti mo Feng’s performance in bilibili is average.

In bilibili, the ranking, income and popularity all showed a cliff-like decline.

▲ The monthly income has shrunk from 1.6 million to 300,000. After four years in bilibili, the number of fans has not broken 3 million. This number of fans is the highest in bilibili.

Bilibili data does not affect Ti mo Feng’s continuous running on the road of breaking circles, and variety shows, performances, singers and endorsements are in full bloom.

In terms of commercial value, Ti mo Feng is undoubtedly quite successful.

However, in the eyes of the public, it is always difficult to lose the identity of "online celebrity" without the blessing of works recognized by the mainstream and traditional authorities, but she has gone the farthest among the female anchors of cross-border artists.

Online celebrity wants to enter the mainstream, and the mainstream stars are rushing off the air. Today, Jerry is the most successful one, and his brilliance in the live broadcast industry may soon overshadow his acting career.

▲ He won the "Outstanding Individual" award at the Tik Tok E-commerce Author Summit for two consecutive years, which should be faster than his acting.

Jerry signed a contract with MCN Yuanwang Technology, which started live broadcast in August, 2021. This year’s Double Eleven single-game delivery exceeded 500 million, which directly set a new record for single-game sales in Tik Tok this year. We have also written about his story before.

▲ The operation team in Jerry has reached 1,000 people.

There were 11 live broadcasts of the whole Double Eleven, and the longest single broadcast was 13 hours, with a total GMV of 1.36 billion yuan, four times higher than last year’s 320 million. Most stars bring goods as "debut is the peak", and Jerry’s performance is getting better and better.

Jerry is now the undisputed number one star with goods. He has his own topic flow, a natural performance personality, and loves to talk. He has long known how to design routines and how to interact with the audience. Personally, he is the chosen son of live broadcast. Of course, it is also very important that he has worked hard and has enough pressure resistance.

▲ Jerry said that the live broadcast was not a ticket game, and he watched 30 live broadcasts of head anchors to do research.

▲ Talking with goods, professional introduction, hysterical selling, Jerry has all the qualities and behaviors that a head anchor should have.

There is a big data screen in the live broadcast room for data monitoring at any time.

When the data is found to fluctuate, we must do everything possible to attract and retain the audience to place an order, which is why every head anchor constantly announces lottery gifts and various tricks to catch horses in the live broadcast room.

▲ The CEO of Yaowang Technology (wearing white clothes and glasses) immediately communicated with the team when he found Jerry’s data problem at the scene, and must immediately prescribe the right medicine.

▲ The team immediately informed Jerry, who was thirsty to sell goods, that "the process should be faster".

▲ Even though we have achieved the goal of looking ahead first, the CEO is still not satisfied with Jerry’s data that day.

We must continue to make innovations in content. Team Jerry is now "making the live broadcast into a variety show, and doing the live broadcast with the configuration of variety show".

Jerry, who has worked hard in this field, was asked, "Are you worried that users will suddenly dislike you?" He replied, "Every day."

Have you noticed that many stars have recently dropped out of the live broadcast to bring goods? According to statistics, from the first year of star live broadcast in 2020, at least 500 artists will start live broadcast with goods.

Up to now, there is not much visible to the naked eye. Live broadcast with goods is the best track to make money. We have written about this scene before. Here, we can recall that the sentence "The star’s end is with goods" is still in my ears, so I will quit?

There must be different reasons, such as cherishing feathers, being unable to bear the pressure, unsustainable traffic, being afraid of rollover, exhaustion of physical strength, and chain loss in the supply chain. In short, it is not so easy to bring goods live, and not everyone who can play with the stars in the entertainment industry can serve this bowl of rice well. No matter how big the interest is, under the limited time and energy of the stars, it is obviously not their cost-effective choice to bring goods live with high investment and strong physical strength.

▲ Two female anchors, Tamia Liu and Li Xiang, who were the most successful in the live broadcast industry, have both retired.

▲ Li Xiang got involved in live broadcasting as early as 2019, and now she is accompanying her in the UK, saying that her elder sister has retired.

By the way, take a look at Wang Shiling, a famous second-generation story that we just wrote.

▲ Benenden School, Wang Shiling’s top boarding school for women in Britain, was established in 1923, located in Kent, southeast England. Princess Anne of the British royal family once attended this school. According to Li Xiang Tik Tok, the school also arranged the room where Princess Anne stayed for Wang Shiling (above).

Real gold needs fire, and the industry also knows that it is not possible to cut "leek" with a star sign now. For example, the MCN organization Yuanwang Technology has set a standard in the selection of star cooperation, and it is necessary to have love and be willing to invest, and it is also clearly mentioned that it is necessary to be resistant to pressure.

Four years is a cycle.

Less than four years have passed from the first year of star live broadcast to the first year of star live broadcast, which represents the real update speed of this industry. The live broadcast industry is an industry with a very high elimination rate and a very short life cycle.

People in the industry have said that the life cycle of most online celebrity is only half a year, or even only two or three months.

The ubiquitous anxiety permeates every one of their lives.

▲ Worry-Free Media’s cargo anchor "Bear Haunted" has gone from zero to over one million fans in one year. Last year, the GMV of Double Eleven reached 70 million. She was so anxious that "I took a break and others were broadcasting live, so I thought I was going to lose".

▲ The eye-catching slogan in the live broadcast room is beating everyone.

For anchors, their income depends entirely on fans, traffic and algorithms. Driven by platform algorithms, anchors can only be "at the mercy of others".

So,Big data is the root cause of the anchor’s increasingly serious mental anxiety. Like a perpetual motion machine, it can only continuously broadcast the live broadcast upside down day and night for a long time until the critical point of collapse. This is the origin of the AI ? ? era. It turns people into machines, but the key is that people, after all, are not machines. People are flesh and blood and cannot live at the critical point of life for a long time.

About this matter, Miss Huang described it in detail in her novel First Class:

< swipe left to see more >

The work intensity of WeChat official account is about five or six times different from that of live broadcast, so live broadcast is a more exhausting job.

▲ Jerry’s agent said that according to Tik Tok’s algorithmic mechanism, only high-quality content will be pushed to more people, otherwise it will not be brushed at all.

▲ The "bear haunt" who started from an amateur said that he could only fight for the live broadcast time to get fans.

▲ CEO of Yaowang Technology said that the company’s head anchor "Yu Dagongzi" can be broadcasted from 10 am to 2 am the next day, which is 14 hours of impassioned, no food or drink.

In addition to long abnormal working hours, the most fatal problem of live broadcast is its own damage to people’s body and mind.Live broadcast is high-intensity emotional labor.(emontion labor, which was first proposed by American emotional sociologist Arlie Hochschild in 1983, is defined as "employees manage their emotions and perform according to the organization’s requirements for facial expressions or body language for reward"),The anchor is actually a worker who sells emotions..

The anchor needs great mental consumption to create consuming content, to catch people’s attention, to make viewers feel happy, relaxed, enjoyable, and even to manipulate others’ satisfaction, which requires great psychological energy and even reaches the psychological endurance limit of this fragile creature as a human being.

▲ There is a documentary "People’s Republic of Desire" which tells the story of online celebrity’s live broadcast on the show. One of the protagonists is Hua Dan Shen Man, the most popular YY live broadcast in that year. When she was exhausted for more than ten hours, she received a phone call from a local fan. She had no choice but to answer the phone. She had no right to refuse, which was the generous privilege enjoyed by local fans.

▲ "The anchor wants the audience in the live broadcast room to get a sense of existence and make him feel that the money he spent is worth it, so he should show him a show, which may have humiliating elements".

When the anchor enters the live broadcast platform, it has entered the cage of power, and the body no longer belongs to itself, but a commodity tempered, shaped and packaged by brokers and platforms.

Female anchors are "atomized" individuals, who are trapped in the ubiquitous network woven by platforms and trade unions. They are produced by internet technology in the form of assembly line, manipulated by the emotional rules of the platform, and become "smile masks" where their self is gradually eroded. Under the "smile masks", there are worn-out hearts.

-Digital Labor: Freedom and Prison

▲ On the first day of training for newcomers, the live broadcast company will constantly emphasize "maintain good fans and consumers, and then you will be like a god".

Whether we talk about labor alienation, exploitation, or the change of the system to people, I feel pain in the "field" most of the time, which is also the reaction brought by the strong emotional stimulation in this industry. I wrote about the influence of the intensity of emotion on people in my doctoral thesis. In the live broadcast of the show, you have to constantly create a plot, sell it badly, or show yourself to be particularly generous. You have to let people experience emotional intensity that they can’t experience in reality.

—— Wang Yilin, a Ph.D. student at the University of Hong Kong, specializes in live show. In 2019, she signed a live broadcast association and began to experience it personally.

The anchor should keep interacting with fans at any time, stay on standby for a long time, and have high emotional energy, which is actually very embarrassing, which is also the main cause of anxiety and stress. "In many cases, it can even lead to PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), especially after suffering from language violence, security threats and privacy attacks."

▲ Interview with Dr. Wang Yilin from HKU.

Being wrapped in high-concentration emotions in a live broadcast, some anchors can no longer return to their daily work and life.

▲ "It seems that a big ship has gone out and you can’t pull it back".

▲ In addition to endless anxiety, there is loneliness behind glitz.

For the platform, it must constantly create new people to become popular to ensure the sustainability of platform traffic. Online celebrity, with its iron platform and flowing water, everyone is worried that they will be replaced next.

▲ Anchors under the age of 29 account for 64%, and the age limit for many live broadcast companies to recruit new anchors is 30 years old.

▲95.2% of the anchors earn less than 5,000 yuan a month, and the head anchors we can see are rare.

However, in today’s employment situation, the anchor profession seems to be the only blue ocean workplace that does not need to consider academic qualifications and background. As long as you are willing to work hard, be willing to work hard, and be willing to give yourself up, it seems that there is a chance. This is also the place where countless grassroots people seem to realize their dream of getting rich. Here, what we don’t lack most is people.

Young people grow up one after another, spilling their strength and sweat in the waves of traffic one after another. Ti mo Feng suffers from cancer, which may shock us. A online celebrity may die, which may make us sigh, but we will still be fascinated by the illusion paradise created by the Internet and the myth of flying life and getting rich that online celebrity shows us.

But in those places where the light can’t shine, there are still surging figures. The vast majority of the bottom anchors who want to be online celebrity are like dirt, and they are carried away by the tide. Even if someone pops up, they are swept away by the waves for three to five months, and they have never been seen since.

This is the truth of online celebrity’s career.

The illusory paradise of the digital world enshrined with human flesh and blood is only the beginning of the AI era, and no one knows where it will take us human beings &hellip; &hellip;
