Wang Sicong once commented on the Liu Zedong case "the price was not negotiated"
In the early morning of December 22, Liu Jintao [Weibo] made new progress in the alleged sexual assault case in the United States. A few days ago, the US prosecutor officially announced the decision not to prosecute, and the person involved Liu Liu personally responded to the matter on Weibo for the first time and made an apology statement. When the matter first broke, Wang Sicong [Weibo] posted a post "ordering a big melon" and commented that "the price should not be negotiated" and then deleted it in seconds. This time, Liu Liu posted an article, and Wang Sicong liked it again.
In September and February, media reported that Liu was suspected of "Criminal Sex Conduct" when he attended an event at the University of Minnesota on Friday evening local time. The object was a Chinese female student. He was arrested by the police and released the next afternoon. On the afternoon of September 2, Beijing time, JD.com issued a statement saying, "Mr. Liu was accused of false accusations during his business activities in the United States. After investigation by the local police, no inappropriate behavior was found. He will continue his trip as originally planned."
Later, Wang Sicong forwarded the official statement of JD.com and said that he "ordered a big melon", and then replied in the comments, "It should be that the price was not negotiated, and it was negotiated after being sent to the bureau." Then he added, "Just kidding, I don’t think Liu Jintao is such a person! Today I drink matcha instead." However, Wang Sicong deleted the Weibo in seconds.
For three months, the details of the case have been coming to light, but Liu has never responded. On Dec. 21, Mike Freeman, the prosecutor in Hennepin County, Minnesota, formally announced that he had decided not to prosecute Liu because there was not enough evidence to support the decision to prosecute. Mr. Liu’s case is similar to many other sexual assault cases, and the specific circumstances are very complex, Mr. Freeman said. "Liu’s case is very similar to those cases where the suspect insists that the sexual activity is the result of consensual consent." In order to protect the girl from secondary harm, the prosecution will not provide more detailed updates in this regard.
On the early morning of December 22, Liu Jintao issued an apology statement after the incident, saying that the result of not prosecuting confirmed that "I have not violated any laws from the beginning to the end." But he also said that this matter has caused great harm to his family and loved ones. "I have confessed the truth to her for the first time, and I hope she can accept my most sincere apology." Later, "Melon Eaters" Wang Sicong praised the apology statement in time.
?? According to Taiwanese media reports on the 27th, Jolin Tsai’s concert ended successfully on the 27th. During an interview, she saw the work team wearing concert T-shirts, happily calling out like a family, and said with a smile: "I hate wearing uniforms at school, and I have a uniform fetish when I leave school."
??After the Taipei encore, many fans said that Kaohsiung also held a concert. Jolin Tsai said: "I don’t know, but many people have seen it, and they will want to give them something new. I also want the same, but [in my heart] I can’t get through it." This time, she led 16 foreign dancers to dance the new song "Stars Align" at the concert. The difficult floor movements surprised fans, and she also released the MV at the same time. When she asked about the MV behind- the-scene, Jolin Tsai revealed that she was angry and put on a big stinky face during the shooting.
??On the day of the MV shooting, Jolin Tsai once again felt that she was not suitable for filming, "Last time’Strange Beauty ‘was filmed at 5 am, I told myself not to live such a life. This time, the new song told the director that I would go to bed at 11 am, but that day at 2 am, I sat there waiting for the light to be adjusted, and suddenly asked what time it was.", Learning that it was early morning, she said that her face instantly stinks, and she finished the last shot angrily.
??Jolin Tsai admitted that he couldn’t stay up late to film, and was afraid of being accused of being a big name because of it, "I sleep regularly (at night), and the recording is also done. After 8 o’clock, the voice is tired, so I have to start early, and only people who are very familiar will see my face stink. The director is the only one who has seen my face stink, and he enjoys it exclusively. He is used to it."
??Xiao S was well received when she was a guest at her Kaohsiung show before. This time, Xiao S was not invited as a guest at the Taipei show. Xiao S recently filmed and cried. Talking about this matter, Cai Yilin admitted that she actually planned to find Xiao S to cooperate again at the beginning, but she couldn’t think of a suitable song in the short term, and hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. In addition, before singing "Rose Boy" at the end of each game, she would share her inner words with fans, which was regarded as chicken soup for the soul.
Once again on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Li Yuchun said goodbye to "going it alone" and sang a vibrant song "Sense of the Times" with Deng Chao and Jackson Yee. During a previous chat with Sina Entertainment, Deng Chao once laughed that the three people who worked together for the first time often couldn’t match their eyes at the beginning of the rehearsal, and the "tacit understanding" was to be investigated. Li Yuchun analyzed that "because my personality with Qianxi is a little bit introverted, I may have to find a feeling", but "now it’s very good".
For a long time, repeated epidemics have hindered countless gatherings, which also made Li Yuchun regret in the past 2021: the concert was cancelled again. Recalling the happiest moment of the year, Li Yuchun believes that it was an online concert spontaneously created by fans to make up for regret: "This was completely unexpected to me, and it really moved me." The New Year is here, and one of her wishes is that the unfinished concert can be held smoothly.
The sense of the Spring Festival ceremony is to prepare plum blossoms, and to carry out a thorough cleaning before the New Year
Sina Entertainment: It’s Chinese New Year, how do you plan to celebrate the Spring Festival this year?
Li Yuchun: This year’s Spring Festival is to spend time with my family at home. Because I don’t have a lot of time with my family this year, I still want to take advantage of the Spring Festival to accompany them at home.
Sina Entertainment: Going back to Sichuan or picking up your family to Beijing for the Chinese New Year?
Li Yuchun: Back to Chengdu.
Sina Entertainment: Every year before going home for the Chinese New Year, will you tell me what to prepare at home?
Li Yuchun: No. I was wondering, did I ask my mother to prepare anything? It doesn’t seem too special.
Sina Entertainment: Do you particularly miss anything at home?
Li Yuchun: For example, yesterday I received a photo taken by my mother. Every year when the Spring Festival is approaching, a large plum blossom will be prepared at home, and the fragrance will remind me that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so when she took it for me, I suddenly had that memory.
Sina Entertainment: Is this plum blossom a ritual of the Li family’s Chinese New Year?
Li Yuchun: I think so.
Sina Entertainment: Do you have any personal sense of ceremony?
Li Yuchun: No.
Sina Entertainment: Not at all?
Li Yuchun: Many of my childhood habits are more traditional, nothing special.
Sina Entertainment: Then share with us a habit that you continue to this day.
Li Yuchun: For example, before the New Year, I will clean my house very well. Hey, when I say it, I seem to have become a very manipulative person (laughs).
Sina Entertainment: Are you in charge of cleaning?
Li Yuchun: Yes, all the bedsheets and other things must be refreshed, including the possibility of wearing new clothes on the first day of the new year, which is a very traditional habit.
Sina Entertainment: So you clean up, Mom and Dad can eat melon seeds and watch.
Li Yuchun: No (laughs). Together.
Sina Entertainment: If I follow you back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year, teach me two auspicious dialects that can communicate with the elders.
Li Yuchun: I will teach you a difficult one. It is related to a blessing I sent today, because I just got that blessing before, but it is actually a bit difficult for Sichuan pronunciation, called Fu Hu Ji Xiang (Sichuan dialect pronunciation, the first two words are FU sound).
Sina Entertainment: "Fu Fu" is auspicious, in Sichuan dialect, right?
Li Yuchun: Yes, I find it very confusing to speak in Mandarin, but in Sichuan, it is "Fu Fu" and auspicious.
Sina Entertainment: If I give you a temporary exam question now and ask you to say a tongue twister, would you be OK?
Li Yuchun: Not OK! It’s difficult, I think.
Sharing the experience of cooperating with Deng Chao Jackson Yee, claiming that playing mahjong and grabbing red envelopes is not good
Sina Entertainment: Share your program at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala this year.
Li Yuchun: The song I sang is called "Sense of the Times". This time, it is a song that I collaborated with Deng Chaochao and Jackson Yee. It is a song full of youth and vitality.
Sina Entertainment: I interviewed Brother Chao before. He said that he was very nervous about going to the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. He also sent you WeChat to ask you what to do. Did you teach him any skills?
Li Yuchun: There are some communication skills, such as what to do if he forgets words, and what to do if he can’t remember some words. I said you can make up a dance to memorize it.
Sina Entertainment: So this rehearsal, do you think he took your approach?
Li Yuchun: Because he really performs differently every time, I think he is looking for the best state, and he may also try some different moves or something, so I don’t know which one is certain now.
Sina Entertainment: He also said that you have discussed it offstage, and you can make eye contact with each other on the stage, but it seems that during the previous rehearsals, the three of you never had the right eyes.
Li Yuchun: There will be a little bit, because after all, it is the first time to cooperate. In addition, Qianxi and I are a little introverted, so we may have to find a feeling. At the beginning, we didn’t get along a bit, but now we are doing well.
Sina Entertainment: Share the styling of this year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
Li Yuchun: I think the style of this year’s CCTV Spring Festival Gala is very festive, a kind of festive Spring Festival Gala. This year because this song is also more positive and lively, the whole feeling is festive.
Sina Entertainment: In addition to watching the Spring Festival Gala, what other activities do you usually have to get together on New Year’s Eve?
Li Yuchun: Watching the Spring Festival Gala, chatting and eating, and Chengdu people playing mahjong.
Sina Entertainment: Are you at the table?
Li Yuchun: When there is a shortage of people, I will fill it up.
Sina Entertainment: How are you playing?
Li Yuchun: I really can’t.
Sina Entertainment: So who is the top mahjong player in your family?
Li Yuchun: I can’t say that about my mother.
Sina Entertainment: You’ve just revealed the answer.
Li Yuchun: I don’t think she can, but she thinks she can, but I definitely can’t.
Sina Entertainment: Anyway, I ranked myself third.
Li Yuchun: Let me rank a few, we have too many relatives in our family.
Sina Entertainment: When do you usually send out your Chinese New Year greetings?
Li Yuchun: New Year’s Eve or around the third day of the new year.
Sina Entertainment: Do you send personalized blessing text messages or copy and paste group messages?
Li Yuchun: I don’t copy and paste very much.
Sina Entertainment: Are you the type of person who spends a lot of time writing text messages?
Li Yuchun: Okay, I think it’s definitely better than copying and pasting.
Sina Entertainment: Do you send red envelopes to everyone? When is it usually sent?
Li Yuchun: I will not send red envelopes to the elders, but to the younger generation, children at home, colleagues in the company, or my good friends.
Sina Entertainment: Are you a generous friend?
Li Yuchun: Sending red envelopes is an unlimited thing, and I dare not say that I am generous.
Sina Entertainment: It’s good that everyone is happy, and you have fun grabbing red envelopes.
Li Yuchun: Yes.
Sina Entertainment: Do you have any chance to grab red envelopes in some groups now?
Li Yuchun: I can grab red envelopes in our elders’ group, because the young people’s group moves quickly and the number is limited, which is usually the case. But the elders generally take care of a lot, and sometimes there will be more, just the kind that has been left there and no one grabs it. You can pick up a few.
Sina Entertainment: It feels like you’re picking up the leak.
Li Yuchun: Yes.
Sina Entertainment: So is it good luck to pick up red envelopes every time?
Li Yuchun: Not so good.
2021 Annual Summary: The most regrettable concert cancellation, the happiest to see fans organize online activities
Sina Entertainment: What are the low moments or regrets in 2021?
Li Yuchun: The concert has been cancelled again.
Sina Entertainment: So how did you spend those days yourself?
Li Yuchun: I spent it in a comprehensive mood, including being particularly depressed, irritable, and crazy. There are not only one state of ups and downs.
Reporter: I hope to hold this concert if I have the opportunity this year.
Li Yuchun: Yes.
Sina Entertainment: What are the moments that make you feel happy in 2021?
Li Yuchun: Before the concert was completed, the fans held an online concert, which was completely unexpected for me and really moved me.
Sina Entertainment: Are there any small tears?
Li Yuchun: It’s a little more joyous, but when I think about some of the things behind it, I feel really touched and moved.
Sina Entertainment: Share one of the most memorable work experiences of 2021.
Li Yuchun: I think it should be to participate in the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party. That work experience is indeed something I have not experienced since I started my career. Rehearsing with everyone and participating in a performance at a very important moment will be quite unforgettable when I think about it.
Sina Entertainment: What if you want to challenge something that has never been done before in 2022?
Li Yuchun: I didn’t think about it.
Sina Entertainment: Challenge to sweep the building at the office of Sina Entertainment.
Li Yuchun: Okay, I’ll go sweep the building when I release the album!
Sina Entertainment: Finally solitaire, a question for the next artist who comes to chat with us.
Li Yuchun: Do you want to go sweeping together? Is that okay? I don’t know who was dragged into the water by me.
Sina Entertainment: Answer the question of the last artist Wang Mian, when can I collaborate with Wang Mian on a music talk show?
Li Yuchun: He can’t do this casually, right? There are certain difficulties. I’ve seen his performance, and I think it’s quite interesting, and he also plays and sings by himself, so I think it’s possible, because it’s not a ballet or something, I can’t do it, I think it can still be done.

"Who am I?" "Jay Chou!" Last night, at Jay Chou’s first concert in Chengdu, when he asked this idiot question as soon as he opened his mouth, and the 30,000 people in the audience answered like crazy, he could only prove two points: Zhou Dong is really popular, and Zhou Dong is really stinky. However, after watching the performance for more than two hours, I believe that no one will scoff at his stinky beauty anymore. In addition to singing more than 20 of Zhou’s golden songs written by himself, this big boy can play the piano, the guzheng, the guitar, and play in front of the drum set. Amazing: Zhou Dong, what else can you not do? Last night’s concert was more like Chairperson Zhou’s amusement park. He had a great time, and 30,000 people followed suit.
"Golden Armor" is imposing like a rainbow
Prelude: In the backdrop of fire trees and silver flowers, he appeared on the main stage wearing purple robes and long plumes, incarnated as Prince Jie in the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and sang the imposing "Golden Armor".
Review: Overbearing
Perhaps it was this performance that Chengdu’s fans had been looking forward to for too long, and last night’s performance established a majestic momentum as soon as it opened. At 7:30 pm, huge mechanical arms stretched out from both sides of the stage, and at the same time, 20 beams of fireworks dragon claws rose into the air, lighting up the night sky of Chengdu. Against the backdrop of fire trees and silver flowers, Jay Chou appeared on the main stage in purple robes and long plumes, incarnated as Prince Jie from the movie "The City is Full of Golden Armor", and sang "Golden Armor", and the audience below the stage began to chant "Jay! Jay!" and such enthusiasm was just the beginning. The next song "Peerless", he used a Vitas-like falsetto singing, which was shocking. Subsequently, "listen to my mother’s words", "thousands of miles away", "blue and white porcelain", "rainbow" and other songs, each song is 30,000 audience accompanied by Jay Chou to sing.
"Transformers" has a lot of unique skills
Prelude: Guitar, Piano, Guzheng, Diabolo Shaking… Jay Chou, who is proficient in all 18 martial arts, told everyone that I, Jay Chou, am not a false name!
Review: talented
I have to say that Jay Chou was really handsome on stage last night. This was not just because he changed nearly 12 sets of gorgeous costumes before and after the stage, including handsome denim clothes, rock style fur vests, white Mao suits, golden dragon embroidered robes, etc., which dazzled the audience. I also want to say that for the first time, I found that Jay Chou is really talented. He can not only sing, but also play the piano, play the guzheng, play the guitar, play the piano with the "bullet head" in Nanquan Mom, fight the drum with the drummer, shake the diabolo and play nunchucks… He took great pains to show them on the stage one by one. However, compared with Jacky Cheung’s ability to speak and sing, and his cold little humor made the audience laugh, Jay Chou rarely "greeted" in the whole performance last night, but he would show a piece of his diligent dance in each segment: cowboy dance, jazz dance, martial arts dance, veneer dance. Unsatisfied, he also invited a 9-year-old child star baby to dance with him on the spot, winning bursts of applause.
"Kangding Love Song" has a unique flavor
Prelude: The first time I come to Chengdu to sing, I naturally have to give some gifts to fans. "Kangding Love Song" is simple and easy to sing. It has a unique flavor after being interpreted by Jay Chou.
Review: Personality
The enthusiasm of Chengdu Jay fans greatly moved Jay Chou, so much so that in order to satisfy his "stinky beauty" complex, from the fourth song "Back", soon after, Jay Chou would squint his eyes, crooked his mouth to the microphone and loudly asked the fans: "Who am I?" After receiving a satisfactory answer, he would open his already small eyes, and then under everyone’s gaze, his eyes would smile into a line. In order to give back the favor of fans, at 9:30 pm, the immersed Jay Chou took to the stage again with his guitar, "This is the first time I come to Chengdu to sing, and I also want to give some gifts to the fans." It turned out that Jay Chou played and sang the Sichuan folk song "Kangding Love Song", which moved the audience very much. It is reported that this song was temporarily arranged in the concert last night, and even at the last moment of the stage, when Jay Chou walked to the stage, the security guard around him was still teaching him to sing sentence by sentence. However, it is a little regrettable that the Sichuan version of "Nunchaku" was changed beyond recognition by him. From beginning to end, the reporter only heard two words clearly: Three Kingdoms.
"Nunchakus" ends with fireworks
Prelude: Nunchaku, or the normal version sounds better!
Review: Young and old eat it all
Last night, Jacky Cheung also cheered in the air, singing "Listen to Mom" in the VCR to help Jay Chou. And the guest of the concert "Nanquan Mom" was also greatly treated by the audience. They sang songs such as "Laughing and Tears" and "Mudanjiang" last night. Fans love my dog, love me responded warmly, which made "Nanquan Mom" very excited. At 10 pm, there was a two-minute dark field at the scene. At this time, the fans were a little stunned. Some people thought the concert was over and left one after another, but most of the fans began to shout Jay Chou’s name. Sure enough, a melodious piano sound came out. Jay Chou played "Hair Like Snow" with the guzheng. The audience began to sing collectively, and the audience who had left the venue flocked back to the venue like a tide. Then Jay Chou disappeared again. This time, no one left the fans, and they kept calling "Jay". Finally, it ended with a song "Nunchaku" and gorgeous fireworks. After the song ended, the audience was still haunted by reluctance to part.
During the National Day holiday, the main theme film "Mekong River Action" won the top three in film placement, attendance, and box office. The good reputation allowed this bloody film to break out of the small fresh meat siege and inject rare male hormones into the current film.
The plot of the movie itself is quite good, but what attracts many fans more is Peng Yuyan’s rough and black man’s shape, unconcealed masculinity and bursting hormones.
In fact, looking back at Peng Yuyan’s growth history, you may not know that he also had an inspirational experience from fat scum to male god. After graduating from primary school, he was less than 150 in height but weighed more than 70 kilograms. In middle school, he was nearly 160 in height and his weight soared to 75 kilograms. Fortunately, in his third year of high school, he realized his obesity problem in time and decided to lose weight through exercise.
When Peng Yuyan lost weight successfully, he quickly turned from a fat boy into a handsome boy next door. When Peng Yuyan first debuted, he had a baby face and no 8-pack abs. For a long time, he was a slender and gentle flower man.
Many people think that it is no problem for him to rely on his appearance to eat. But he did not, but started a completely different kind of open life, and it is sports and fitness that have made today’s national male god Peng Yuyan.
The 2011 release of "Roll Over, Ashin!" opened the door to a new world for Peng Yuyan, who has always been an idol – not only won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor nomination, but also embarked on the road of a muscular male god. It can be said that because of this play, there is today’s abdominal male god.
The film describes Ashin, who has an excellent athletic talent since childhood, being deeply attracted by gymnastics by chance and gradually stepping into the world of gymnastics. However, under the opposition of his mother, Ashin withdraws sadly. Finally, he is determined to pursue his dream again, and with the encouragement of friends and family, he finally reaches the sky. At 1.82 meters tall and with a beautiful male face, Peng Yuyan plays a gymnast. Before the filming started, many people were not optimistic about it, but when the movie came out, they knew they underestimated Peng Yuyan.
There is such a line in the movie: "There is only one chance to turn over, you just have to do your best." For the role of Ashin, Peng Yuyan, who has zero foundation, spent half a year eating and sleeping with gymnasts, and achieved the state of one-year training for ordinary people in two or three months. The degree of effort is simply not too hard, simply put – beyond ordinary people.
The first time Peng Yuyan met with Ashin’s real prototype in the gymnasium in Yilan, he was beaten up. At that time, Ashin himself asked Peng Yuyan to try his skills, but Peng Yuyan practiced on the horizontal bar a few times, and his hands were worn out.
The coach next to him didn’t say a word. He used scissors to cut off his scratched hand skin, tied it with a bandage, and asked him, "Can you hold it? Gymnastics is not something that anyone says can be practiced. If not, go back to your Taipei to shoot idol dramas."
Of course I can’t go back to Taipei! Peng Yuyan was ruthless to himself and started a high-intensity training of more than ten hours a day for eight months. In order to motivate himself, he also made bets with the crew, such as practicing backflips. If the film is successful, the director will invite him to dinner, otherwise he will invite him. As a result, he invited many days for meals, but even if he invited him to dinner, he tried not to touch greasy and high-calorie food.
In order to get the body of a gymnast as soon as possible, Peng Yuyan maintained high-intensity training while also being very restrained about things. He could only eat a small amount of staple food and boiled vegetables every day, and he relied on boiled chicken breasts and egg whites for fullness. "I will vomit, no one will be so crazy" he laughed at himself!
From the male lead in idol dramas that everyone loves to see his face, to the movie actor who talks and acts like what he looks like with his strength, Peng Yuyan spent half a year proving himself to be a real actor with a "Ah Xin", "Roll Over! Ah Xin" also made him shortlisted for the Best Actor at the 48th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, which was the first time he was so close to the Best Actor.
Peng Yuyan said that this experience is very valuable to him, and while he is young and enthusiastic, there are still many roles to try. No matter what the outcome of this attempt is or how difficult the process is, it is a good exercise.
"If you only have one chance to turn over in your life, you must do your best." This line in the movie is also a portrayal of Peng Yuyan himself.
There is an idiom in China called water comes naturally, which means that wherever water flows, there will be channels, but without channels, there will be water flowing. Peng Yuyan’s efforts are like digging one channel after another for himself. His efforts and hard work have won him a good reputation and many film contracts.
In 2013, "Guild Wars" made Peng Yuyan and Zhang Jiahui two old fresh meat set off the climax of "muscle warfare". Shooting "Roll! A Xin" has been trained to 6% body fat, and by "Guild Wars", it has become 3%. Clear muscle lines, developed arm muscles, thick back muscles, bronze skin, and an inverted triangular figure are enough to make fans scream.
Peng Yuyan’s muscle training is also a quick success, and he received satisfactory results in three months. "I get up at seven o’clock every morning and start practicing until noon, then take a shower and eat lunch to make up for it, and start the same practice in the afternoon. I get soaked in several clothes every day. Exercise for two or three hours every day, and practice boxing for four or five hours."
When practicing indoors, it includes the process of reducing abdomen, building abdominal muscles, and sculpting abdominal muscles. Every day, parallel bar leg lifts, leg lifts, abdominal curls, pedal in the air, and side curls are all commonplace. Ordinary people can also do these exercises.
In addition, the crew also took the actors to outdoor training, such as lifting tires and pulling chains.
In order to play this harder and tougher role, Peng Yuyan hired a professional fighting coach to unlock new skills: MMA (mixed martial arts), Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, lock skills…
In order to find the most authentic feeling of a boxer, Peng Yuyan trained for 2-3 hours a day and practiced MMA mixed martial arts, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 4 hours. It is said that he was beaten by his coach for more than 200 punches every day.
Peng Yuyan once said that he enjoyed such devil training very much. He said: "Boxing has always been my favorite. I spent two months practicing every day, and now when I go back to Taipei, I still find boxers to fight. This is a good way to relieve it, and it is good for future action movies."
A little sweat, a little gain, Peng Yuyan finally won the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award with "Guild Wars", director Lin Chaoxian bluntly said "I didn’t see the wrong person".
It is because of his participation in "Guild Wars" that he has reversed the image of the "gum advertising man" in most people’s minds.
I wonder if 28-year-old Peng Yuyan ever imagined that there would be so many action movies waiting for him in the future, and one of them was even "Huang Feihong".
In the movie "Huang Feihong’s Hero has a Dream", Peng Yuyan performed the most beautiful Huang Feihong in history, and it was also his hardest play ever.
"I grew up watching the movie Huang Feihong. All boys have a dream of kung fu. I am very proud to play such a national hero, but I am also afraid." It was this fear that made Peng Yuyan willing to put himself at the lowest level and start from scratch.
In order to present the Huang Feihong we finally saw, Peng Yuyan spent a whole year practicing martial arts, spending a lot of effort on movement, appearance, and inner state, and finally the whole spirit was integrated into Huang Feihong’s world.
Peng Yuyan started training for eight hours a day. Peng Yuyan tortured himself half to death just by pressing his legs and pulling tendons. He did lessons according to his schedule every day and had to review his room before going to bed at night.
Because of "Wong Fei Hung", Peng Yu Yan was shortlisted for the Hong Kong Academy Awards for Best Actor. Although he lost in the end, "Wong Fei Hung’s Hero Has a Dream" is an extremely important work in Peng Yu Yan’s acting career from any perspective. Peng Yu Yan said that everyone will have highs and lows. If I can do it from not knowing kung fu to playing Wong Fei Hung, you can do it too!
In 2015’s "Breaking the Wind", Peng Yuyan played a professional cyclist who rode all the way, almost three and a half times around the earth. Later, they learned that Peng Yuyan also fell in love with cycling in real life, and then they felt… "There is simply no better candidate than Peng Yuyan!"
Don’t think it’s easy to play a cyclist. For this movie, Peng Yuyan rode every mountain in Hong Kong. Two months before the movie started filming, Peng Yuyan conducted special training under the guidance of Hong Kong cyclist Qiu Duoming. He rode for 6 or 7 hours a day, and at most, he rode for 200 kilometers a day.
I have been practicing since March and April, and I have been shooting all the way to the end of October. "The specific training content includes: riding an average of 120 kilometers a day for a consecutive month, 10 kilometers in the morning physical training, 60 minutes of balance training; 80 kilometers in the afternoon road sprint training and endurance training, and 3 hours of light aerobic training in the evening.
Ten days before the start of filming, Peng Yuyan returned to Taiwan for pre-shooting special training with other actors and riders. In addition to the 10-kilometer field ride every day, he also went to the gym to continue practicing. Director Lin Chaoxian directly called him "Physical Demon".
Because of the serious practice, Peng Yuyan joked that his body has reached the level of automation: "Even when I sleep, my whole body is doing aerobic breathing, burning calorie, and speeding up perspiration."
For the movie "Breaking the Wind", he trained for a long time according to the standards of professional athletes, and finally obtained a certificate for the use of a bicycle track.
It is worth mentioning that the performance of "Breaking the Wind" made Peng Yuyan the first Chinese Goodwill Ambassador of the Tour de France in 112 years.
This is because during the filming, Peng Yuyan actually traveled across many countries and cities for cycling shooting, traveled around the world and met many friends, including the Italian car king Rui Costa! It is said that the car king took the initiative to take a selfie when he saw him, and even uploaded it to social networks, making Peng Yuyan a celebrity in the European cycling industry as "Chou Ming" (the character in "Breaking Wind") on the spot.
Now fitness has become a part of his life, even if he is busy late at work, he has to go to the gym to rest after exercising!
Peng Yuyan said that when he is in a bad mood, he will do what he wants to do, find something that makes him happy, think I just go to exercise, and sports will make him happy. If you practice for a few more hours, you may not be better than others, but if you don’t practice, you will definitely lose. Your time is limited, don’t live for others.
Someone once asked Peng Yuyan what he relied on for his current success, and he said, "Probably luck." Liang Jiahui on the side corrected him, don’t keep talking about luck, everything you are now depends on your hard work!
Peng Yuyan said: "I just don’t have talent, so I fight with my life." Step by step, Peng Yuyan walked very steadily every step.
As Gao Cheng said in "Soldier Assault", every time he does a small thing, he grabs it like a life-saving straw. One day I look at it, wow! Good guy! He is holding a towering tree that I have already looked up to. Why isn’t Peng Yuyan like this?
This is Peng Yuyan’s counterattack from a chubby boy to a muscular man. Life is like a play, and play is like life!

Zong Qinghou was born in December 1945 and is nearly 80 years old. According to the Urban Express, Zong Qinghou was admitted to Shao Yifu Hospital with serious lung cancer before the Spring Festival, and his condition has not been very good.
Zong Qinghou said in an interview a year ago that he would take a back seat, believing that it is more difficult to keep a business than to start a business. In the middle of CCTV Finance "Dialogue" 2023, Zong Qinghou talked about the issue of succession. He said: "I should not retire, but I will take a back seat and let the young people charge in front. I will watch from behind, and when I go astray, I will reverse it and make an out-point idea."
According to public information, in December 2021, Wahaha Group officially announced that Zong Fuli was appointed as the vice chairman and general manager of the group, and his father Zong Qinghou was still the chairman of the group. According to the announcement, Zong Fuli, the daughter of Zong Qinghou, the founder of Wahaha Group, became the vice chairman and general manager of the group. After that, Zong Fuli gradually took the center stage as the successor of the group.
Original title: "Wahaha Group Announces Statement"
On June 29, Huanzhuan and e-Driver jointly released the "Driver’s Machine and Replacement Demand Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Huanzhuan and e-Driver Joint Report"), through a survey of nearly 1,500 drivers, to gain a deeper understanding of the mobile phone usage habits and replacement needs and preferences of the driver group.
According to the joint report of Huanzhuan and e-driver, due to the high dependence on mobile phones in life and work, nearly 60% of the chauffeurs own more than two mobile phones, which is a typical dual-phone crowd, and 20% of them are already using second-hand mobile phones. In terms of replacement demand, the replacement frequency of chauffeurs is concentrated in 1-3 years, and they are more willing to choose mobile phones with a price of 1,000 to 3,000 yuan. Huawei has become the most popular mobile phone brand. In addition, more than 20% of chauffeurs are planning to exchange for more cost-effective second-hand mobile phones; and when buying second-hand mobile phones, more than 40% will choose such second-hand trading platforms as Huanzhuan; they generally pay attention to the functions and quality of mobile phones, and pay the most attention to the inspection and quality assurance services provided by the platform.
Low-tier market demand is strong, and nearly half of the driving brothers are post-90s
With the effective control of the epidemic, production and life across the country have resumed one after another, including offline catering, leisure and other consumer formats have recovered, and to a certain extent, the demand for services such as driving has also been raised.
According to the joint report of Zhuan Zhuan and e-driving, compared with first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Chengdu and other second- and third-tier cities have increased their demand for driving in epidemic prevention and control so far. More than 60% of the drivers who actively receive orders come from cities outside the first- and second-tier cities.
At present, the domestic driver group is showing a younger trend, with a concentrated age distribution between 22 and 40 years old, of which 22-30 years old account for 44.59%.
The survey data shows that the current income of chauffeur groups is generally concentrated between 3,000 and 5,000 yuan.
This part of the population is highly consistent with the characteristics of the main user population of the Huanzhuan platform. According to the data of the Huanzhuan platform, in recent years, second-hand transactions have gradually "sunk" from first- and second-tier cities to third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities, and young users have become the main consumer groups. Among them, second-hand mobile phone transactions are particularly obvious.
Analysts at the Zhuan Strategic Research Department said that in third- and fourth-tier cities, the monthly income of 3,000 to 5,000 yuan is a medium level. Considering that the work of chauffeur is relatively hard, and the rigid needs of buying a house, getting married and having children, etc., it is an important characteristic of this group to be careful in life.
Replace the machine in one to two years, and the budget for replacement of more than 70% does not exceed 3,000 yuan
According to the joint report of Huanzhuan and e-chauffeur, 59.2% of the nearly 1,500 chauffeur drivers interviewed own more than two mobile phones, making them a typical dual-machine population. Work, entertainment, and shopping have become the main needs of this group.
Due to high-frequency usage, 40% of drivers will change their mobile phones within 1-2 years, and another 43.03% will change their phones within 2-3 years. However, looking at the demand for mobile phones, more than 70% of drivers will choose mobile phones priced at 1000-3000 yuan.
It is not difficult to see that the replacement frequency of the chauffeur is high, but the replacement budget is low. Analysts from the Huanzhuan Strategy Research Department said that second-hand mobile phones can also perfectly support functional needs such as receiving orders, entertainment, and shopping, and the price is more suitable. For example, the 6 + 64G Huawei P20 Pro, with a transaction price of about 1000-1500 yuan on Huanzhuan, can smoothly run mainstream APPs, games, etc., which can fully meet the needs of chauffeur drivers. It is worth noting that 20% of the surveyed chauffeur drivers are already using second-hand mobile phones, which also shows that this part of the group attaches great importance to cost performance.
Drivers are mostly "pollen", and they still love Huawei most when changing mobile phones.
Mobile phones are a must-have item for chauffeurs to receive orders. When redeeming, chauffeurs not only value the cost performance of mobile phones, but also have a great preference for the choice of mobile phone brands. From the mobile phones used to receive orders, nearly half of chauffeurs are "pollen". Among them, 38.85% of drivers use Huawei mobile phones, and another 7.38% use Honor. In addition, the second and third most commonly used mobile phone brands are OPPO and Apple respectively.
This is also consistent with the quarterly mobile phone market report data released by Huanzhuan. According to the data of Huanzhuan platform, male users are more accepting of Huawei mobile phones than female users prefer iPhone, and Huawei is also the most popular Android mobile phone brand in the second-hand market.
Analysts from the Research Department of Huanzhuan Strategy said that Huawei’s appearance and performance are more in line with male usage habits, and most of the drivers are male drivers, and Huawei’s preference for mobile phone brands can be seen in Huawei’s more than Apple. Take Huawei’s high-end mobile phone Mate series as an example, which is positioned as a business machine and has high stability. The price of the next new model in the second-hand market is only half of that of the new model. Both practicality and price are very suitable for the needs of the driver group. In addition, OPPO pays attention to the development of offline stores, and Apple’s strong iOS ecology has also allowed its own brand to gain higher attention.
In the channel of purchasing mobile phones, drivers have a more balanced choice between online and offline, with Internet e-commerce platforms and mobile phone brand stores accounting for 47.58% and 44.59% respectively.
In this regard, analysts from the Huanzhuan Strategic Research Department said that, on the one hand, mobile phone offline stores in third- and fourth-tier cities are indeed widely laid, becoming one of the main channels for people to buy mobile phones; on the other hand, chauffeurs are mostly between the ages of 20 and 40, and the acceptance of online e-commerce platforms is also high, and the demand for online shopping is also very strong.
Inspection, quality assurance is indispensable, nearly 40% of drivers buy second-hand mobile phones to choose transfer
In addition to the 20% of the interviewed driver drivers who are already using second-hand mobile phones, the survey data of the joint report of Zhuan Zhuan and e-driver also shows that more than 20% of the respondents said they plan to buy second-hand mobile phones when changing mobile phones.
36.09% of chauffeurs who plan to buy a second-hand mobile phone will choose a second-hand platform like Huanzhuan to buy it. People value the function of a second-hand mobile phone more, followed by the brand and price. In addition, 40.19% of chauffeurs buy old mobile phones from real-world friends.
In this regard, analysts from the Research Department of Huanzhuan Strategy also said that the current offline proportion of second-hand mobile phone transactions is higher, many of which occur in the WeChat community and acquaintances, and the online rate accounts for only about 20%. However, with the growth of online shopping demand and the rapid development of online platforms, especially platforms like Huanzhuan that can provide contract fulfillment services, will bring more choices to second-hand mobile phone consumers, including chauffeurs.
According to the survey data, when purchasing second-hand mobile phones, the driver is most worried about quality, followed by after-sales guarantee and mobile phone pricing issues, and very much hope that the platform can provide inspection quality inspection and after-sales quality assurance services.
Since the beginning of the launch, we have taken the lead in launching machine inspection and quality assurance services in the industry, and quickly formed generally recognized quality inspection and service standards in the industry.
At present, Huanzhuan provides 66 major professional quality inspections for second-hand mobile phones traded on the platform. The proportion of platform mobile phone transaction orders choosing inspection services has exceeded 90%; in addition, the platform’s self-operated second-hand mobile phones also provide one-year quality assurance. This also means that the quality inspection and quality assurance services provided by the Huanzhuan platform are recognized by more and more users, and can fully meet the replacement needs of consumers, including chauffeurs. Many interviewed chauffeurs also said that the inspection and quality inspection services provided by Huanzhuan can significantly improve their trust in buying second-hand mobile phones, and after-sales services also make them feel more secure.
Online and offline businesses are working together to promote consumption and boost the economy
As of May 15, the total output value of the national driving market in 2020 has exceeded 3.20 billion and is in a period of rapid development. Founded in 2011, e-driving is committed to providing high-quality, safe, fast and cost-effective driving services. Users can initiate drunk driving, valet parking, door-to-door pickup and delivery, exclusive services for female drivers, business driving, travel driving and other needs through e-driving. At present, e-driving has more than 500,000 registered cooperative drivers nationwide, with an average driving age of more than 13.43 years, covering more than 400 cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
For drivers whose daily income is mainly concentrated in the range of 3,000 to 5,000 yuan and who rely heavily on mobile phones for work, second-hand mobile phones are undoubtedly more cost-effective.
As a comprehensive second-hand trading platform known for second-hand mobile phone transactions, Huanzhuan is committed to providing reliable performance services, including machine inspection and quality inspection, to all consumers, including chauffeurs, through the establishment of a standardized service system, so that everyone can buy and sell second-hand with more confidence and worry, meeting the diverse consumer needs, and becoming an emerging force to boost economic development.
At present, the transfer business has covered more than 2,000 counties and cities across the country, and the demand for second-hand transactions in the lower-tier market represented by third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities is growing rapidly.
The latest "transfer & find beautiful machine joint 618" battle report data released by the transfer group also shows that during the entire 618 promotion period from 8:00 pm on May 31 to 24:00 on June 18, the B2C transaction volume of the transfer group exceeded 357 million yuan, and the payment transaction exceeded 207,000 orders. A total of more than 180,000 mobile phones were sold.
It is worth noting that during the "peak 28 hours" from 8:00 pm on June 17 to 24:00 on June 18, the B2C business of Huanzhuan Group sold 1 mobile phone every 1.7 seconds. During the 618 promotion period, the top 5 cities where buyers were located were Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Beijing and Dongguan; in addition, third- and fourth-tier cities such as Foshan and Ganzhou also entered the top 10.
Beijing News Shell Financial News (reporter Cheng Zijiao) On January 24, in response to online rumors that Douyin was in talks with Alibaba to acquire Ele.me, Ele.me CEO Yu Yongfu responded on the company’s intranet that the rumors were false.
"Fake, we have already refuted the rumors," Mr. Yu said on the intranet. "I don’t know if there are not many things that people can care about in the Internet industry now, but fake can only be fake in the end. I have said in the class committee (management) before that everyone may feel that they have heard the most authority from me, so they will respond positively to everyone again."
He also said that over the past two years, Ele.me has continued to reduce leverage, and its efficiency has been greatly improved. In the next three years, Ele.me will further improve its efficiency, solve its own problems, and complete a new stage goal."The market always hates the poor and loves the rich. It is precisely because we are getting better step by step that more and more voices in the market are paying attention to us. As long as we continue to get better step by step, more and more voices in the market will be optimistic about us. "
Yu Yongfu also said that based on the overall goals for the next three years, the management of Ele.me has made detailed plans for the business strategy for the next 100 days and the next year, and each business unit is also formulating the goals for the new fiscal year. The next step will be gradually implemented, which is worth the market’s continued expectation.
On the streets of Xiamen in March, cold winds gusted. At seven o’clock in the evening, the sky had just darkened, and they were already waiting by the restaurant with their bicycles. After a while, people who were full of food and drinks walked out of the restaurant one after another, and their "nightlife" officially began.
Walking through the night, they have to carry up and down folding bicycles weighing 30 or 40 catties; working in the dark, their customers are mostly drunk men… Recently, our reporter approached the group of female drivers, followed them to take orders and listen to their stories. Today, we present the most authentic life conditions of female drivers through the narratives of Xiaoxiao, Amei and Aqi.
Female chauffeurs are already a large group in Xiamen. The picture shows Amei at work. (Photos from this group/Photo by reporter Huang Rong)
[Misunderstood]
The customer heard a female voice and thought he made the wrong call.
Because there are not many female chauffeurs, they are often regarded as "rare animals".
When some customers heard the female voice, they immediately said, I’m sorry, I made a typo. After learning that there was indeed no typo, they explained again and again. After calling for a driver for several years, they had never met a woman and thought they had made a typo. There was a male customer driving a Porsche who saw a female chauffeur and said "hi": "He asked me to try the performance of the car and drive 200km/h to Xiamen Bridge. I didn’t listen to him and controlled the speed at 60 kilometers per hour. He was furious and asked me, do you know how pigs died, and I replied, stupid; he said, no, disobedient to death." Then, the male customer said again: Unfortunately, I drive a Porsche of more than one million. If it is a car of 200,000 or 300,000, I will let you drive it directly home.
[Being harassed]
The drunkard moved his hands and feet, and asked her to "introduce Miss"
"Young women are not very suitable for this line of work," Ah Mei said bluntly. Female drivers mostly take orders at night, and the customers are mostly men who drink too much. As she got older, she said, "it’s safer and less troublesome." Even so, Ah Mei still encountered a lot of troubles.
In early March, two drunken male customers were going to Hexu Li, but when they saw that a female driver was coming, they immediately changed their minds and went to find "Miss", and asked her if she had any sisters to do this. "Seeing that Ah Mei said no, a man in the back seat reached out to touch her face: I see if there are any wrinkles on your face. When they got to the place, Ah Mei stopped the car and took off the bicycle." One man snatched my bicycle directly and wanted to try it, and the other man came directly and wanted to hug me and asked me to take him to find’Miss’. "Ah Mei pushed the male customer away, angry, tired, and aggrieved all welled up in her heart. However, the next day, the male client called Amei to apologize, which helped her balance a lot, but instead comforted them not to take it to heart.
36-Year-old Aqi had a similar experience. Once, when she arrived on her bicycle, the man who called for the driver was already drunk, and there was a male companion in his 20s next to her. Seeing a female driver, the young man stuffed his drunk friend into the back seat of the car and got into the co-pilot himself. As soon as the car started, the young man came up with a smile on his face, "Sister, you still dare to come out and take orders so late." Seeing Aqi’s silence, the boy became more "arrogant" and his hands and feet began to be dishonest. At that time, in July and August, the young man reached out and touched Aqi’s armpit. Aqi was so angry that he warned, "I can be your aunt at my age, so you can take care of yourself." The young man didn’t listen and "moved" his hands several times. Aqi finally broke out and scolded the other party, "The steering wheel is in my hands, do you still want to be safe!" Hearing this, the young man was so frightened that he withdrew his hand.
[Being tracked]
Male colleague with ulterior motives uses location sharing to find her home
It was disturbing enough to encounter customers who moved their hands and feet. Aqi never expected that some male chauffeurs would be "unrelenting" to her.
Since all the chauffeurs were on the same work platform and could see the location information of their colleagues, the rare female chauffeurs naturally became the "object of attention" of their male colleagues. "Most of the male colleagues still take good care of me, but there are always some who make uncomfortable jokes under the banner of’caring ‘with ulterior motives."
Aqi told reporters that when he first started driving, only three or four of them were customers’ orders in one night, and the other 10 or so were "condolence calls" from nearby male colleagues. Because it was a work number, Aqi had to answer.
Among them, the one with less "lethality" was a sarcastic sentence, "Why does a woman work so hard? Does she have no husband at home?"
These words were like sharp knives stabbing in Aqi’s heart, "I also rely on my own ability to make money hard, why do you think of me so unbearably."
In January this year, a male chauffeur was "monitoring" Aqi’s whereabouts all the time, and even chased after Aqi’s door and stalked her. Finally, Aqi had to call the police for help.
[Being taken care of]
The customer was afraid that she would not be able to return home, so he specially called a car to take her home
However, there are also heartwarming moments.
On the last order before the Spring Festival, at around 8pm, Amei sent a male customer to Jinjiang. As soon as he got on the bus, the male customer saw a female chauffeur and asked, how can you go back to Xiamen so far away. "I don’t have a bottom line," Hearing Amei’s answer, the male customer made seven or eight calls along the way to contact the car back to Xiamen for her, and didn’t feel relieved until he found it. "He said that if I were a man, he would give up after making two calls at most, but I am a woman. I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Xiamen, and I will not be willing to stay in a hotel, and I will wait on the roadside until dawn." In order to make Ameido some money, the male customer also specially let her take a long detour.
Another time, it was raining at night, and Ah Mei had to drive for a man and a woman. Because of the rain, she was afraid that the bicycle would wet the customer’s car. Ah Mei laid a cushion on the passenger’s trunk in the rain, and then put the bicycle in. Then she opened the driver’s door and took out the seat cover, for fear of getting the seat wet. The male customer is Taiwanese, and he was afraid that she would get wet, so he kept saying it was okay and got on the bus quickly. Seeing Ah Mei’s insistence, the male customer gave a thumbs up: I didn’t expect the service in the mainland to be first-class. After getting off the bus, the male customer also gave her an umbrella. There are many such moments, and every time I think of it, Ah Mei will feel warm in my heart. (At the request of the interviewee, the female drivers in the text are all pseudonyms)

Take 9 orders in one night and finish work at 4am
At 9 o’clock the night before, at the entrance of a seafood shop near Ershi City, Xiaoxiao pushed the folding bicycle and walked towards us. After receiving the driving order every night, Xiaoxiao rode it to the customer, folded it, and carried it to the trunk of the customer’s car. After delivering the customer to the destination, Xiaoxiao carried it off and continued on the road. Every night around 6 o’clock, Xiaoxiao would ride a bicycle to a place with a lot of traffic and wait for the order.
We followed Xiaoxiao to send a customer to Lianhua Village, but the bicycle couldn’t be folded. Xiaoxiao was anxious and squatted on the ground for about ten minutes, "really embarrassing". That night, she took 9 orders and didn’t finish work until 4 am the next day. Riding a bicycle, she returned home from the second phase of the software park to Fanghu Road.
[Data]
growth rate of driving
Xiamen ranks third in the country
Xiamen’s driving market is dominated by e-driving and Didi driving. According to the big data released by e-driving, Xiamen ranked third in the growth rate of driving in major cities across the country in 2015, with a growth rate of 141%.
Xiamen two major driving merchants
There are more than 700 female chauffeurs
Four months after the e-driving service opened in Xiamen, the first woman to register has been welcomed, and this group has now grown to more than 500 people. Among Didi’s drivers, there are currently 226 female drivers. Combined with the data of Didi’s drivers and e-drivers, the proportion of female drivers in Xiamen is close to 10%.
Female drivers are more popular
The take-up rate is twice as high as that of men
Although the number of female drivers is small, they are quite popular. For example, some women will "name" and ask for female drivers. Data provided by e-driving shows that between 6 and 11 pm, "online" female drivers receive 1.9 times as many orders as male drivers.
[Voice]
"It’s a lie to say you’re not afraid"
Almost all customers will ask me: Are you not afraid of being a female driver? It is false to say that you are not afraid, but when driving a customer’s car, the steering wheel and accelerator are under my control, and generally they will not do anything to me. – Aqi
I don’t think it’s okay about safety. Xiamen people are of good quality, and I have fitness. But I didn’t tell my parents that I was a female driver, for fear that they would be worried. But after my sister found out, she asked me to bring some "anti-wolf weapons". – – Xiaoxiao (Text/Reporter, Wang Yuting, Huang Xiaofang)
On June 25, Avita Technology landed at the Chongqing International Auto Show and launched a new generation of intelligent electric vehicle technology platform, C (Changan) H (Huawei) N (Ningde Times).
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Huarong, chairperson of Changan Automobile, Xu Zhijun, chairperson of Huawei, and Zeng Yuqun, chairperson of Ningde Times, attended the Avita press conference together. Under the "luxury" lineup, Avita’s popularity has been rising again and again.
Avita Launch
At present, all the traditional independent brands want to complete an upward breakthrough at the time of electrification and intelligent transformation. The Great Wall has salons, Geely has polar krypton, and the well-off has questions. Now Changan, which is a little slower, has also joined the array and launched its high-end new energy brand Avita.
Unlike most new brands, Avita had one more halo, and the three-way cooperation between Changan, Huawei, and Ningde Times made Avita’s prospects broader. But reality was always skinny, and even if there were real materials, Avita’s problems gradually appeared in front of many consumers.
That includes the naming of Avita, the appearance of the first model, the Avita 11, and the theory of "emotional intelligence" that Avita’s chairperson and chief executive, Tan Benhong, has spent a lot of time describing. These issues, while the opinion of the benevolent and the wise, also reflect some of Avita’s shortcomings.
More importantly, compared with other traditional brands’ "two factories" cooperation model, Avita’s so-called "three giants cooperation" not only brings obvious advantages, but also brings a question that the market can’t help but associate, that is, whether there will be differences in interests that will hinder the development of the brand.
As a latecomer to the market, Avita itself does not have an advantage. If the dispute points and potential hidden dangers are not resolved earlier, it may be difficult to get a piece of the cake in this highly competitive track.
Avita’s past and present life
In fact, Avita is not Changan’s "newborn", its predecessor is "Changan NIO", which is a brand jointly established by Changan and NIO.
At the 2018 Qixi Festival, Changan partnered with NIO to officially establish Changan NIO, with Changan Automobile and NIO each holding 45% and the other 10% held by the executive team.
However, as NIO gradually gained a foothold in the domestic new energy market, and the highly competitive market made it difficult for it to spare energy to focus on other businesses. In 2020, Li Bin stepped down as the chairperson of Changan NIO, officially ending this stage.
Of course, NIO did not fully withdraw, but the shares fell to less than 5%. But as the leading party, Changan did not give up, but continued to extend the life of "Changan NIO" through capital increase, and officially changed its name to Avita Technology in May 2021.
Avita 11
It is worth mentioning that as early as 2015, Changan released the "518" new energy vehicle development strategy, planning to launch 34 new energy vehicle models in 10 years. Then in 2017, Changan also announced the "Shangri-La Plan", which is expected to completely stop selling fuel vehicles in 2025. But today, both plans can be said to have failed.
The market will not stop because of a certain company’s strategic problems. Seeing Geely’s Jikrypton, Dongfeng’s Lantu and other brands gradually rise in the market, Changan, which is seriously out of touch with the new energy market, has undoubtedly become the "that person" who is caught off guard and on pins and needles.
In order not to be "abandoned" by the market, Changan not only had to keep "Changan NIO", but also use external forces to catch up. Therefore, after NIO left, Changan "introduced" Huawei and Ningde Times, two heavyweight friends, through capital increases.
At present, the top five shareholders of Avita are Changan 39.02%, Ningde Times 23.99%, Chongqing Chengan 19.01%, Southern Assets 8.73%, Fujian Mindong 5.00%, and NIO retains a 1.13% shareholding ratio. It is worth mentioning that behind Chongqing Chengan are Chongqing State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and Liangjiang New Area.
Avita’s shareholding structure
Changan, Huawei, Ningde Times, state-owned assets… When these words appeared in the introduction of the same company, the imagination of the market and consumers was instantly opened. Since the official announcement of the cooperation in May last year, Avita has become the expectation of many people.
Unfortunately, in the blooming market environment, Changan overestimated the enthusiasm of consumers. Shortly after changing its name, Avita gradually "disappeared" from the track. Until recently, a press conference reminded people again that Changan also has a high-end brand of new energy vehicles.
From experience, the promotion of new brands during the release and official delivery window is crucial, and the recent Avita 11 overwhelming advertising is undoubtedly a good momentum.
Everything has its pros and cons. While Changan allows consumers to remember Avita, it has also ushered in some controversial issues.
Judging from a large number of netizens’ comments, Avita’s name has attracted much attention.
Avita is taken from the English Avatr, which means virtual avatar in the game or online world. The official gave the word a deeper meaning, that is, to create another self in the intelligent parallel world for each user. This car is also defined as "emotional intelligent electric car, understand your intelligent avatar".
Such an explanation sounds very cultural and representative, but at first glance it will make people feel that it is an overseas brand. Too Westernized and without Chinese characteristics, "I feel a little foreign and foreign" has become a voice.
At the same time, the English Avatr of Avita is similar to the English of the science fiction movie "Avatar", except that one letter is missing, which is easy to confuse. Not only that, the name Avita is also difficult to remember compared to other traditional car brands.
Among the many elements of a brand, the name is the core element of the brand and the basis for forming the brand concept. If a brand wants to expand its influence, it must first make consumers remember the brand name. Compared with the previous Xiaocangxailis, it was difficult to get consumers’ attention at first, but after its model was named "Ask the World", the development momentum improved significantly.
Avita is not easy to remember, nor does it have many characteristics. If the product is not particularly outstanding, it may be difficult to familiarize everyone with this brand.
In addition to the name, as the first model of Avita, the appearance of the Avita 11 to be delivered is also "difficult to say". When it comes to appearance design, Changan’s ability is not weak, and even has a high level. For example, its UNI series has won the love of many young people just because of its appearance.
But according to the current official promotional map, the Avita 11 is a coupe SUV with a slippery back. The front is too "simple", and there are no other elements except for the separate design of daytime running lights and headlights, but the light group is too narrow and long, looking a little hideous and awkward.
Avita 11 front
The side of the car is still normal, but the biggest difference in the back of the car is that its rear glass area is very small and it is sunken inward. This design may minimize the drag coefficient, but for the sake of the drag coefficient, it sacrifices the appearance that consumers value, and may affect the rear view. Is this really cost-effective?
The most controversial aspect of Avita, compared with the name and the appearance of the "sitting" model, is its theory of "emotional intelligence".
At the brand launch, compared to the product information introduction of Avita 11, Avita Chairperson and CEO Tan Benhong spent more time interpreting Avita’s brand definition, namely "emotional intelligent electric vehicle", and proposed "E.I. user request theory system".
Avita Launch
From Tan Benhong’s explanation of "emotional intelligence", Avita’s pursuit is to "add personal touch" to the car, just like a consumer’s confidant, so that consumers can feel the meaning of Avita emotionally, rather than just limited to a machine.
The competition of new energy automobile brands has already risen to the intelligent level. The new brand release does not involve the word intelligent, and it seems that it is embarrassing to introduce it to consumers. The continuous involution of the brand has enriched the intelligent interaction experience of automobiles, and the functions and forms have become more and more complex.
Avita’s invisible and intangible metaphysical concept is more like a deliberate gimmick to be different from AI artificial intelligence.
Anxiety over control under multiple interests
There is no eternal cooperation, only eternal interests. As a result of the cooperation of giants, Avita may be limited to the capital triangle.
For Huawei, which provides software systems and platforms to a number of automakers, the purpose of its layout is very obvious in the era of software-defined smart cars.
From the perspective of the industrial chain, Huawei will grasp the core of smart cars, grasp the traffic entrance of smart cars, and compete with car manufacturers for more has the voice over. Or through the cooperation of multiple manufacturers to accumulate production experience, and finally build their own cars.
Although Avita advertises as "the first emotional intelligent electric vehicle brand with Huawei’s HI full-stack smart car solution", based on the fact that Avita is one of Huawei’s many partners, there is no "halo" effect for consumers at all.
And also think about it, if Avita really enters the Huawei channel, then the Huawei exhibition hall with the M5 is now placed, can it still squeeze Avita 11?

Let’s talk about the "battery Mao" Ningde era, as a battery manufacturer, Ningde era in order to improve the vehicle company has the voice over, as well as the bargaining power in the market, in the past two years, gradually through financing means to invest in new energy vehicle companies, such as Nezha Automobile, Aichi Automobile, Byton Automobile and Geely Krypton and other brands.
In the same way, as more and more car companies cooperate with Ningde Times, the "halo" of Ningde Times is no longer a halo. The difference is that Ningde Times may have another purpose in entering Avita this time. Whether it is the Kirin battery previously released by Ningde Times or the highly integrated CTC technology to be launched in 2025, Avita may be one of the first brands to be put into use.
The use of new technologies and the improvement of vehicle competitiveness will lay the foundation for its foothold in the high-end market. This is also the reason why CATL will invest in Avita, which is more like a "test field" for power battery black technology.
As a "leader", Changan certainly knew that it was a big "hidden danger" to let its partners "master" the most important power battery in electric vehicles and the intelligence of its views, but it had to choose to compromise.
On the one hand, as a leading enterprise in the field of autonomous vehicle enterprises, Changan has been in a marginal position in the field of new energy. If it does not try its best to catch up in the short term, the gap will only widen until it is abandoned by the market. On the other hand, whether it is power batteries or intelligence, the research and development costs are extremely high, which is not something that traditional automobile companies can afford. Choosing cooperation is undoubtedly the best choice.
In this way, the three parties can be said to have "each mind". As a new brand, with the gradual development of Avita, once a certain part of the three-party cooperation changes, it may become a major disaster for Avita. This will not only make people think, after the embryonic stage, how much support will the three parties give Avita?
Nowadays, new energy vehicles are getting more and more crowded, and whether the track can accommodate Avita, a new player, the market will provide the answer.
