On the morning of the 26th, it was revealed that the audience shouted refund for the #WubaiHefei concert. According to Nine Pai News Video, on November 24th in Hefei, Anhui Province, before the performance of the Wubai concert, many audience shouted "refund" because of unreasonable seating arrangements, which attracted widespread attention. On the 25th, an audience member said that he bought a VIP area of 1,280 yuan and was assigned to the V6 area. "The stage is recessed, and two large screens are added on each side. We can only see half of the stage on both sides of V5 and V6. The band behind us is basically invisible, and people can’t see it. The big screen looked up. Many fans said that they went to massage after watching it." It claims that the organizers did not inform them in advance of the risk of being blocked from view in zones V5 and V6.

　　This is not the first concert this year that has caused complaints because of the obstruction of the viewing location. Before this, the "pillar ticket" of Liang Jingru’s concert in Shanghai also attracted public attention. According to the upstream news, with the explosive recovery of the concert market this year, the old problems such as high-priced tickets, scalper tickets, and "pillar" tickets continue to appear, and with the "sinking market" of concerts, some chaos in concerts held in third- and fourth-tier cities has begun to appear.

　　The performance market will explode in 2023

　　According to statistics, the total box office of national commercial performances in the first half of 2023 increased by nearly seven times year-on-year, according to Beijing Youth Daily. According to data released by the China Performance Industry Association, the total number of national commercial performances in the first half of 2023 was 193,300, with a total box office of 16.793 billion yuan, an increase of 673.5% year-on-year. Recovery and growth have become the core keywords of the offline performance market. According to Crowley’s report data on the economic development of offline music performances in 2023, from February to March this year, the number of daily active users of Damai.com increased by 74% compared with the same period in 2019, 4 times more than the same period in 2022, setting a five-year high. During the same period, Barley sold 47,000 performances, which was 3 times that of 2019. The platform box office scale and ticket purchases increased by 127% and 87% respectively compared with the same period in 2019. The box office of offline music performances increased significantly.

　　According to media reports, the opening ceremony of the 22nd China Shanghai International Arts Festival Performance Fair and the 28th Yangtze River Delta Performance Fair, Liu Kezhi, president of the China Performance Industry Association, shared relevant data in his opening speech: In the first three quarters of 2023, the number of commercial performances (excluding entertainment venues) reached 342,400, an increase of 278.76% year-on-year; the box office revenue reached 31.54 billion yuan, an increase of 453.74% year-on-year; unique viewers 100 million 11.05 million, an increase of 532.6% year-on-year, showing the huge market vitality of the national performance industry. However, with the recovery of the performance market, the important segments of the concert market, such as high-priced tickets, scalper tickets, and "pillar" tickets, continued to emerge. With the "sinking market" of concerts, some of the concerts held in third- and fourth-tier cities began to show some chaos.

　　Big concertIt’s hard to get a ticket "the goods are not on the right board"

　　According to Jiupai News, after more than a month of warm-up, on the evening of July 21, the TFBOYS "Ten-Year Covenant" concert was officially announced. In the afternoon of the same day, the entry "TFBOYS Official Expo Online" was already on Weibo’s trending topic list. Shortly after the official announcement of the concert, the first row of tickets was marked to 200,000 by "scalpers", and the second and third rows were also 150,000 yuan each.

　　According to a number of "scalpers", compared with the sky-high price invitation letter, the auction is the most cost-effective way to buy TFBOYS concert tickets. According to the auction fee table of a "scalper", a ticket with the highest price of 2013 yuan for a TFBOYS concert costs more than 7,000 yuan, while a ticket with a face value of 806 yuan costs more than 3,000 yuan. On the eve of the ticket grab, many scalpers made it clear that the order has been saturated and stopped taking orders. "After tonight, I can’t accept the 10,000 generation grab fee, and the pit space is limited." According to reports, a "scalper" group composed of several hundred college students received more than 50 orders, and it cost 3,000 yuan to find a programmer to write a ticket grab program to prepare a machine and manual dual channel to grab tickets. Some scalpers even recruited temporary part-time shooters due to insufficient demand. If the 2013 yuan ticket price is successfully grabbed, there will be a commission of 3,500 yuan, with an average of 4-5 people grabbing a ticket.

　　And similar to the situation of the Wu Bai concert, according to the previous news Knews news, some audience reported that they spent thousands of yuan to buy tickets for Liang Jingru’s Shanghai concert, but after arriving, they found that their vision was blocked by the pillars around the stage, and watching the singer became a pillar.

　　According to reports, footage taken by Ms. Zhang, a Shanghai resident, at her concert on May 20 showed that she bought a ticket worth 1,299 yuan on the second-floor grandstand, and the pillar directly in front of the seat happened to block the singer. Coincidentally, Mr. Liu, who bought a ticket of 999 yuan, also encountered a similar situation. On the Internet, the topic of the two Liang Jingru concerts in Shanghai blocking the line of sight caused heated discussions, and hundreds of consumers who had the same experience launched rights protection. According to reports, Damai has communicated the matter with the project organizers; the concert organizer, Shanghai Rubik’s Cube Pan Culture Performing Arts Co., Ltd., said that during the ticketing stage, they did not know that there would be four pillars in the stage design; Xuhui District Consumer Protection Commission has intervened and interviewed the company, and will urge the formulation of a solution in the future.

　　According to Red Star News, on November 15, the lawsuit related to the "pillar ticket" of Liang Jingru’s concert in Shanghai was heard in the Meilong Court of the People’s Court of Minhang District, Shanghai. A total of 9 spectators filed a lawsuit against the concert organizer, Shanghai Rubik’s Cube Pan-Culture Performing Arts Co., Ltd. The court combined the nine lawsuits and has not yet pronounced a verdict. According to reports, on the issue of concert disputes, the Shanghai Consumer Rights Protection Commission has counted that since 2023, concerts have become a new hotspot of consumption, resulting in an increase in concert-related complaints. The Municipal Consumer Protection Commission has accepted more than 7,000 concert-related consumer complaints, including group complaints caused by obstruction of consumers’ seat views. Due to the difficulty in reaching a consensus between operators and consumers on the consequences of damage and liability for compensation, complaints about the occlusion of the concert line of sight are frequent and highly concentrated.

　　Liang Jingru concert scene. Video screenshot

　　As if it was a response to Liang Jingru’s concert "pillar ticket", according to the Yangzi Evening News Network, after the official announcement of Jay Chou’s 2023 Carnival World Tour Concert Hohhot Station, a "Special Ticket Announcement" appeared in the official ticketing channel Cat’s Eye Ticketing. On August 14, the organizer of this concert, Shanxi Xingtai Guangying Culture and Entertainment Co., Ltd. issued an announcement, saying that it would meet the needs of the majority of fans, so that more fans could experience the joyous atmosphere of the "Jay Chou Carnival Concert" Hohhot station on the spot, and reduce congestion outside the concert venue. After coordination and striving with all parties, the organizer will sell seats with special discounts due to poor visibility in the area blocked by the sound console. The organizers also stated in the announcement that the seats in this area are blocked to varying degrees, and it is impossible to fully see the whole stage. A large screen is set up behind the sound console for the audience to watch, and the special tickets will not be refunded or exchanged after purchase. What caused the audience’s heated discussion was that although it is a blocked ticket, it is also divided into three gears, which are divided into 600 yuan, 500 yuan and 300 yuan. "I never expected that this will be divided into gears?" Some fans complained.

　　How to protect the rights of "pillar ticket" and "wall ticket"

　　Zhang Ming, a lawyer and partner of Beijing Jingshi Law Firm, said in an interview with China News Agency that Article 8 and Article 9 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law stipulate that consumers have the right to know and the right to choose goods or services independently. Viewers have the right to know the true situation of the services available for the selected seat when purchasing tickets. If the ticket seller and the organizer do not distinguish the seats whose line of sight is blocked in advance by marking and reducing the price, consumers can exercise reasonable rights protection based on the Consumer Rights Protection Law.

　　However, Zhang Ming also admits that the current cost of protecting fans’ rights is too high. Although the price of concert tickets may be as high as thousands of yuan, from the perspective of litigation, the amount is still very small. Litigation itself usually requires the appointment of lawyers, and it also requires a long cycle and high cost. Therefore, few people choose to go to the court to safeguard rights litigation. Generally, they can only choose to negotiate, seek help from consumer rights protection organizations, or complain to administrative supervision departments.

　　Fu Jian, director of Henan Zejin Law Firm, believes that enjoying a complete audio-visual experience is the main right of concert ticket buyers and the main obligation of the organizers. Due to the failure of live performance equipment, the audience cannot hear the sound, or the performance cannot be seen due to occlusion, etc., the services provided by the organizers are defective, and consumers can ask the organizers to refund the tickets or refund part of the fees.

　　According to the Consumer Rights Protection Law, if the goods or services provided by the operator do not meet the quality requirements, consumers can return the goods in accordance with national regulations and the parties’ agreement, or require the operator to perform obligations such as replacement and repair, Fu Jian said. Consumers can communicate with the organizer to request compensation or refund. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement, they can report the complaint to the market supervision department or consumer association, or sue the court to claim their legitimate rights and interests.

　　In response to the provision that concert tickets are generally sold without refund, Fu Jian believes that the concert ticket purchase agreement belongs to the format clause, and the non-return and exchange once sold excludes the main rights of consumers. According to the provisions of the Civil Code, the format clause that excludes the main rights of the other party is invalid, and the concert tickets in the Interim Measures for the Return of Goods Purchased Online in Seven Days without Reason are not non-refundable goods. The platform unilaterally restricts the rights and interests of consumers to return and exchange tickets, which is a situation that aggravates the responsibility of the other party, and it is likely to be found to be invalid. However, considering that concerts have a certain timeliness, and the refund of tickets for upcoming performances is likely to affect secondary sales, it is reasonable to make restrictive provisions on refund.

　　The China Consumers Association also suggested that relevant performance ticketing platforms and organizers should consider how to better protect consumers’ rights and interests and improve consumer experience from the perspective of promoting the release of consumption potential, and reasonably formulate ticket return and exchange rules based on the principle of fairness and publicize them to consumers to ensure that consumers are fully informed and actively confirmed before purchasing tickets. If "no return, no exchange" tickets are launched, refundable tickets should be launched at the same time, and reasonable prices should be set for consumers to choose and arm’s length transaction.

　　On September 13, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Standardized Management of Large-scale Commercial Performance Activities and Promoting the Healthy and Orderly Development of the Performance Market". It requires that performance organizers should establish a ticket refund mechanism for large-scale performance activities, set a reasonable level of ticket refund fees, and ensure the legitimate refund rights of ticket buyers.

　　A little more news:

　　The "sinking" concert market is full of slots

　　According to the China Performance Industry Association’s "National Performance Market Brief for the First Half of 2023", music performances in third- and fourth-tier cities will increase in 2023, and performance cities will extend from first- and second-tier cities to third- and fourth-tier cities. In this regard, People magazine interviewed five young people who watched concerts in their hometowns, and upstream news sorted out some of the characteristics displayed.

　　Handan: The stars converge like a rural stage

　　The interviewee, Ms. Wang, said that in June, Handan held another concert. The title seller of the concert was a well-known wine company in Handan. "This concert also gave away a lot of tickets. The school teachers will send it out, the surrounding residents will send it out, the wine will be sent out, and the developers will also send it out. I feel like I can’t wait for half of Handan City to go."

　　Music festival scene. People magazine

　　According to his introduction, maybe because of the gathering of stars, four hosts were arranged to join the show, "But I think this host is also strange. There are one and the other to make everyone shout slogans and advertising words, and the interaction is very embarrassing, a bit like that kind of rural stage."

　　Maoming: Pour Coke in a Coke bottle and sell it for 15 yuan

　　The interviewee, Mr. Li, said that he was more speechless about spending during the music festival. "Food and water are not allowed at this music festival, even umbrellas are not allowed. I brought an umbrella and it was taken away… The umbrellas sold in the booth are 50 yuan a piece." Mr. Li also said that when he was hungry, he and his colleagues went to buy beef instant noodles, even if the instant noodles were added with a few pieces of beef, it cost about 40 yuan. "I went to buy Coke, and the staff poured Coke directly from a large Coke bottle, added a few pieces of ice, and sold it to me for 15 yuan." In addition, at the end of the performance, Mr. Li and his friends drove away. When they arrived at the exit of the parking lot, they found a large area blocked. They scanned the code to pay the parking fee. As a result, the signal was very weak, and they could not pay the fee. There were no staff there to serve.

　　Guigang: The sound quality is too poor, and the stars sing with difficulty.

　　The interviewee, Ms. Luo, said that the only concert she saw this year was a star concert. She said that on the first day of the ticket release, she grabbed 388 yuan of tickets from the grandstand area. "It stands to reason that the tickets bought on the first day must be closer to the stage, but when we arrived at the venue, we were at the’top of the mountain ‘in the last row." Ms. Luo asked the people in front of the seat that they bought tickets only a week before the show started, which cost only 200 yuan, or locally. The infield is even more exaggerated, and the tickets of 1200 yuan can be bought for more than 500 yuan before the opening. "Although the venue is quite large, the stage is really too small, which I can tolerate. But the sound quality is really bad. The celebrities also sing very hard, and they feel a little unable to speak. "

　　Nanping: Order and Chaos star performance is sloppy

　　According to the interviewee, Ms. Zhang, the organizers of the concert did little publicity and did not have a guide sign. As the opening approached, people began to sit in the stadium one after another, but many people took free and discounted tickets. "The person next to me came after dinner, and he said that he drank some wine in the evening, and he still smelled of alcohol." Ms. Zhang said that the order was also a bit chaotic after the performance began. Some people left their seats and squeezed into the front row, and the security did not care. "My husband and I both felt that a certain star acted sloppily when singing, like completing a task. After singing, they left the stage without interacting."

　　A city in Hebei: Sponsor "bottle" ads are played throughout the screen

　　The interviewee, Ms. Zhang, introduced that after the opening of the "All Stars Concert", everyone began to shout "refund". When the first singer came out, everyone did not give face at all, and they were also shouting, "There were some artists singing in the middle of the journey. Obviously, they were frightened by this scene, and they did not interact much.

　　Wine ads scrolled on the big screen. People magazine

　　Ms. Zhang said that from the perspective of the scene, the lighting design is not very reasonable. People are sitting in the infield, and the lights are directly shining on people’s faces, which is very dazzling. "There are a few small screens on the stage, and four of them play animations of wine bottles throughout. When the artist sings, the’big wine bottle ‘is still rolling next to it, which is very eye-catching."

Andy Lau is not a "godfather" in Beijing’s "Ring" and is not afraid of "debt"

　　　　　　　 Movie Network News(Photo/Qian Jia’s memoir/Xie Yawei) "I don’t like the title of’godfather ‘, and I feel that one day I will go to jail." On May 11, "The Ring" held a media meeting in Beijing. As an investor, Andy Lau appeared with Guo Zijian and Zheng Sijie, two new directors, and Lin Jiadong, the producer. Because of his dedication to the excavation and promotion of new directors in recent years, Andy Lau has been praised by the media as the "godfather" of the new director, but Andy is very resistant to this title, bluntly saying that he feels like a gangster. When talking about the new work he invested in, Andy Lau admitted that it is like his own child. As a parent, he must lead it out to meet people, otherwise it is likely that no one will pay attention. The film will be released simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong on June 4.

Andy Lau is unwilling to be a new director "The Godfather" to invest in new films "Not bad money"

　　　　　　　 "Crazy Stone" attracted much attention at the beginning of its release because Andy Lau was an investor, and then its own quality made the film "out of control" with Ning Hao and Huang Bohong. Andy Lau has paid great attention to and promoted new directors in recent years. As long as he likes the script, he will invest boldly, so that many newcomers can get a platform to show their talents. Therefore, he has been praised by the media as the "godfather" of new directors. Hearing this title, Andy Lau seemed a little disgusted, "I don’t like the title of’godfather ‘, I feel like I will go to jail one day, too much like a gangster." He said that he can only be regarded as a stalwart, but his strength is limited, and he is very happy that many big companies are now paying attention to new directors.

　　　　　　　 In the past, Andy Lau and Lin Jiadong acted in many movies as partners. In "The Ring", the relationship between the two people changed, one was the boss and the other was the producer, so "asking for money" became something Lin Jiadong had to do, "He is a good boss, I will ask him for money, and he was very happy when he signed the check." Andy Lau, the boss, did it very easily. He showed up once when the film was on, and never went to the set after that. "The total investment of the film 8 million, and their budget is very well controlled. After watching the first edited film, I gave them a little money to make them do better." It seems that Andy Lau, the boss, is indeed "not bad money".

What is the mobile phone system of Huawei P7?

　　The mobile phone system of Huawei P7 is based on the Android 4.4.2 system deeply optimized Emotion UI 2.3 system.

　　The Huawei P7 body size is 139.8×68.8×6.5mm, with a 5.0-inch screen, so the overall body is naturally larger than the Huawei P6. The thickness of 6.5mm is also thicker than the 6.18mm of the P6, but it is still a very slim mobile phone. The body frame is still made of aluminum alloy, and the whole body is quite integrated. So what is the mobile phone system of Huawei P7?

　　The upper left corner of the back of the Huawei P7 is a 13 million pixel camera and a single LED flash. The camera uses SONY’s latest 4th generation stacked sensor with an F2.0 aperture. The lens does not protrude, and the entire back is very flat, which can be completely flat on the desktop.

　　In addition, Huawei P7 has the function of floating button. The new version of the floating button adds a semi-transparent effect, with intelligent movement, automatic fading and other animation effects. The floating button can be opened in the drop-down shortcut menu, or in the system settings. The floating button has several functions: return, homepage, multiple windows on the same screen, lock screen, and memory cleaning. In the case of hiding the navigation key, you can use the floating button instead of the operation.

Can Huawei P7 be upgraded to Android 4.3?

　　Huawei P7 uses the Emotion UI 2.3 system that is deeply optimized based on Android 4.4.2.

　　In terms of configuration, Huawei P7 uses its own HiSilicon Kirin 910T 1.8GHz quad-core processor, 1.8GHz main frequency, 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM, and supports a maximum of 64GB memory expansion. 5.0-inch 1080P resolution IPS screen, using in-cell technology, the front and back bodies cover the third-generation Corning Gorilla Glass.

　　Huawei P7 has 13 million pixel rear + 8 million pixel front-facing camera, the main camera adopts F2.0 aperture, Sony 4th generation stack sensor. Based on Android 4.4.2 customized Emotion 2.3 operating system and 2500mAh capacity battery. Support 5-mode 10-band, support TD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, GSM, FDD-LTE, WCDMA (the latter two only support international roaming).

　　In response to the question of what is the mobile phone system of the Huawei P7, in addition, the Huawei P7 has a very obvious improvement in heat control compared to the Huawei P6. First, because it does not use an all-metal body, and second, the power-saving management will reduce the performance, reduce power consumption and heat generation. When running large-scale games or running scores, the back of the mobile phone is comparable to that of the general mobile phone, and there is no longer an obvious hot feeling from the P6. And because the frame is still made of metal, the heat generation of the frame will be a little higher than that of the machine.

　　　　At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China presented a beautiful freehand painting of Chinese civilization to the world. Just a few hours after the emotion and passion had not yet cooled, another wonderful Chinese legend kicked off in the public area of the Olympic Park. A large-scale cultural exhibition called "China Story" was officially opened in the public area of the Olympic Park on the morning of August 9. Leaders and representatives of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee and 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, as well as stars such as Jackie Chan, Zhou Huajian, Mok Wen Wei, Yu Dan, sociologists and 30 representatives of folk artists appeared on the same stage to tell Chinese stories.

　　Jackie Chan burst into tears at the opening ceremony

　　At 10 am, the Chinese story and culture exhibition area in the public area of the Olympic Park unfolded a huge scroll with seals engraved with the names of 30 provinces, regions and cities, which dyed the beautiful and quiet public areas in the past with a cultural atmosphere. During the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, more than 30 "auspicious cloud huts" will display China’s national cultural heritage and the vibrant ethnic and folk cultures of various regions through live handicraft performances and audience participation and interaction. Stars and folk artists such as Jackie Chan and Yu Dan became the biggest highlights of the opening ceremony.

　　Jackie Chan and Yu Dan, who have made Hollywood famous for Chinese kung fu and become the pride of all Chinese people, and who have become famous promoters of the revival of Sinology in the new century by promoting traditional culture, when the two heavyweight guests gathered at the opening ceremony to talk about "China’s story in the eyes of the world", they collided with a lot of ideological sparks. "We should build a small courtyard and put some things on it so that people around the world can see our Chinese culture." Jackie Chan said that he was present at the opening ceremony the night before, and he cried when the torch was lit. "This is not the first time I have cried for the Beijing Olympics. As a Chinese, the Olympic Games are held in my own country, and on such an occasion, no one can suppress the excitement. The Chinese are good, and the opening ceremony is a perfect start." Like Jackie Chan, Yu Dan, a scholar, said the opening ceremony would give the world a better understanding of Chinese culture. "I hope that Chinese culture can use the platform of the Olympic Games to go to the world and let the world see the real wonders of China."

　　Zhou Huajian and his mixed-race son sing on stage

　　"Everyone is equally useful. Volunteer, invariably. Forget yourself, and be open-minded. I am a star, embellishing the sky…" As a special pair of volunteers at the opening ceremony, Zhou Huajian and his son took the stage to sing the volunteer theme song "I am a star". Referring to his mixed-race son Zhou Houan, Zhou Huajian was very proud. "We are both volunteers for the Olympic Games. Before the opening of the Olympic Games, he had already reported to his assigned area – ‘China Story’. I heard from the staff that he was very diligent. He helped my brother and sister who were filming documentaries carry the machines every day and went out on location, which made my father a lot of light." Joining Zhou Huajian and others at the Olympic Park to help promote Chinese culture during the Olympic Games, Mok Wenwei and Sun Nan also sang passionately on stage, kicking off the "China Story".

　　According to reports, in the more than 30 auspicious cloud huts in the Chinese Story Exhibition Area of the Olympic Public Area, the best national intangible cultural heritage retained by various provinces, regions and cities will be highlighted in a space of 60 to 80 square meters. Jiangsu brocade worth tens of millions, wonderful and moving Kunqu Opera performances, interesting Shaanxi shadow puppets, hidden entrances in Chongqing face-changing, colorful and fragrant sugar paintings… The "Chinese Story" cultural exhibition activities use novel and diverse forms of display such as pictures, real objects, multimedia audio-visual arts, combined with live handicraft performances and audience participation and interaction, to vividly tell friends from all over the world about the beauty of Chinese culture.

　　Among the more than 30 auspicious cloud huts in the "Chinese Story" exhibition area, the Guangdong hut of "Yueyun Chaofeng" is quite eye-catching. In the hut, audiences from all over the world can enjoy exquisite gold wood carvings, tide embroidery, wide embroidery, wide color, ceramics, Duan inkstone and other art treasures, and experience the long-standing Lingnan culture. That morning, Vice Governor Lei Yulan attended the opening ceremony of China Story, unveiling the "Guangdong hut".

　　Among the exhibits, it was revealed, was a giant gold wood carving from Chaozhou, the "treasure of the town house" of "Guangdong Hut" – about 1.8 meters high and more than 2 meters wide, with the theme of the "Bird’s Nest" in the National Stadium, showing the moving scene of birds coming and dancing around the "Bird’s Nest".

Song and Ming antiques worth over ten million yuan

　　Guangzhou Daily reported on March 30Shenzhen Public Security Bureau Futian Branch reported yesterday afternoon that the victim Chen lost two boxes of Song and Ming antiques worth over 10 million yuan in a taxi. After several days of tracking, the Futian police station of the branch successfully recovered the lost items.

　　Lost antiques in a taxi

　　According to Li Yaoqiang, director of the Futian police station, on the evening of March 17, Mr. Chen went to the police station to report that he had taken a taxi to the Bank of China Building on the Fuhua section that day and left the two boxes of valuable antiques he was carrying in the taxi. He did not ask the taxi driver for a taxi invoice when he got off the bus, nor did he remember the license plate number or the company the car belonged to, so he had to ask the police for assistance in finding it.

　　The police went to the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau’s monitoring center to retrieve and view relevant videos, and found a driver of a taxi company among thousands of taxis. The police immediately contacted the taxi driver, but the driver provided evidence that he was not carrying Mr. Chen at that time, and the clue was interrupted.

First financial news, AITO is speeding up the listing of new cars. Huawei Terminal announced on September 10th that it will release the new M7 five-seat car on September 12th. With the release of new cars, the matrix of AITO vehicles will include M5, M5 pure electric version, M5 intelligent driving version, M5 pure electric intelligent driving version, M7 and M7, and it is planned to release M9 in the fourth quarter.

AITO Wenjie is a brand jointly launched by Huawei and Cyrus. At present, there is a big gap between the sales volume of the industry and the new force of making cars on the head. As a representative of Huawei’s intelligent car selection model, Huawei urgently needs to prove its ability to ask for cars.

In August, the sales of nine new car-making forces, including Ai ‘an, Ideality, Weilai and Deep Blue, all exceeded 10,000, and the delivery volume of AITO was 5,018.

In the case of sluggish sales in the world, Huawei’s auto business has shown signs of being more enterprising recently. In addition to speeding up the listing of new cars, in June this year, Huawei also received 21 "Jiejie" trademarks, which was interpreted by the industry as that Huawei will have the leading role in Jiejie trademarks and become a unified brand name for Huawei’s smart car selection model in the future. In July, the "AITO Joint Working Group on Marketing and Service" set up by Cyrus Auto and Huawei began to be fully responsible for the end-to-end closed-loop management of marketing, sales, delivery, service and channels, marking the strengthening of cooperation between the two parties. From the perspective of products in the second half of the year, the new M7 and M9 models are undoubtedly the most concerned.

Cross-border sales are under pressure

Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of BG and CEO of BU, a smart car solution, has previously revealed some information about the new M7 model. According to Weibo, the model has 3338mm interior space and 686L trunk volume. Yu Chengdong also highlighted the safety attributes of the new M7. In addition, the M9 full-size SUV will also be launched at the end of the year.

The launch of new cars is very important for the international community to boost sales. Since the beginning of this year, international sales have been under pressure. According to the production and sales data of Celestial, the sales of Celestial cars in July and August this year dropped by 45.69% and 67.52% year-on-year, which contributed to the year-on-year decline in sales in the first eight months of this year. The reporter learned from the Celestial Securities Department that in its production and sales express, the source of Celestial automobile sales is mainly from the world.

"In the first quarter, the promotion of the automobile industry caused users to have a wait-and-see mood. The user’s expectation that the M5 version will be released in the second quarter has a certain impact on the sales of existing models." Cyrus explained the reason for the decline in sales in the first half of the financial report.

AITO WeChat official account also stopped disclosing monthly delivery this year. According to the scattered data, AITO delivered 4,585 new cars in April this year, 5,629 in May and 5,018 in August, and there is no good news that the monthly delivery has exceeded 10,000. Compared with last August, the delivery volume of the industry exceeded 10,000 vehicles, reaching a peak of 12,000 vehicles in October.

According to the data of the Association, in the ranking of wholesale sales of new energy passenger cars in August this year, Sailis sold 5,018 vehicles, which did not rank among the 20, lagging behind the new car-making forces with monthly sales exceeding 10,000, such as Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an, Ideality, Weilai, Zero Run, Tucki and Nezha.

While the sales volume problem is anxious, Cyrus and Huawei have not tasted the sweetness in performance since the delivery. In 2022, thanks to the higher selling price of M5 and M7 and the increase in sales volume, the revenue of Cyrus doubled year-on-year. However, due to the increase in sales expenses and investment in R&D, the loss doubled year-on-year, reaching 3.832 billion yuan. In the first half of this year, Cyrus did not turn losses, and its revenue also decreased by 11.14% year-on-year.

It is also doubtful how much performance increment the car business can bring to Huawei. In 2022, Huawei’s smart car solution business revenue was 2.077 billion yuan, accounting for only 0.3% of the total revenue. If the cumulative investment of smart car solution BU is 3 billion US dollars, the business is still losing money. In the first half of this year, the smart car solution business revenue was 1 billion yuan, equivalent to half of last year’s annual revenue, and it seems to be standing still.

Yu Chengdong is under a lot of pressure whether it can bring the sales volume of the industry together and set a benchmark for Huawei’s car business. Since the beginning of this year, Yu Chengdong has been a frequent platform for the world, and its Weibo has twice mentioned that it has spent a lot of money on the new M7 model, saying that this model has "newly invested 100 million yuan to upgrade its interior and exterior" and "spent 500 million yuan to upgrade and build it". In July, Yu Chengdong warmed up the new M7 at the exchange meeting with distributors and suppliers, and in August, he appeared at Chengdu Station to promote the model.

Regarding the sales volume, Yu Chengdong previously responded that the sales volume is only the result of a certain development stage, and what is reflected behind it is actually the relationship with users. Due to lack of experience and experience, I took some detours. At this time, I need to give full play to my own advantages, be determined, and insist on making the ultimate products. Yu Chengdong revealed that in the face of external shocks, the company will speed up improvement, such as optimization in retail, service, delivery and other fields this year, and at the same time optimize the mechanism, increase unannounced visits to stores and other means to enhance the overall service capacity.

Adjustment of cooperative relationship

Since the beginning of this year, it has been frequently speculated that Huawei is devoting itself to building cars, and there are even rumors that Huawei BU wants to seek independence. The root cause of the rumors is that Huawei’s car business has not brought obvious increase and its development prospects are still unclear. In fact, outside Celeste, which has the deepest cooperation with Huawei, many car companies are considering cooperation with Huawei, and the cooperation relationship has undergone adjustment.

At present, the cooperation between Huawei and car companies is divided into three categories, namely vertical parts supply, HI(HuaweiInside) and Huawei Intelligent Selection. HI mode provides full-stack smart car solutions for car companies, and Huawei Intelligent Selection mode is deeply involved in product definition, styling design, marketing and user experience. The cooperation depth of these three models is from shallow to deep.

In the cooperation between car companies and technology manufacturers, who has the "soul" is a controversial issue, especially for Huawei, which has always been strong in product control, car companies will inevitably choose carefully. Some auto industry analysts told reporters that with the competition of new energy vehicles entering the second half, profits will gradually tilt towards electronicization and intelligence, and automakers are wary of cooperation with technology manufacturers.

In March this year, Guangzhou Automobile Ai ‘an AH8 project changed its HI cooperation mode with Huawei and changed it into a component supplier mode. AH8 will be independently developed by Ai ‘an. Some car companies have made two preparations. In April this year, the cooperation mode between BAIC Extreme Fox and Huawei changed from HI mode to intelligent car selection mode. At the same time, BAIC started its own research. At the end of August, Beiqi polar fox koala opened for pre-sale, and this model is positioned as the world’s first smart parent-child car. The reporter learned from Beiqi Blue Valley Securities Department that koala has no cooperation with Huawei. In addition, Chery, Jianghuai and Huawei have cooperated in car selection. Among them, Chery and Huawei have jointly launched a number of smart electric vehicles, and Chery is also developing an independent new energy brand iCAR.

Huawei is aware of the challenges it faces. At the "China Electric Vehicle committee of 100 Forum 2023" in April this year, Yu Chengdong said frankly that among domestic partners, new forces are unlikely to choose Huawei intellectually, international giants will not choose it for some reason, and traditional car companies will not choose it if they are afraid of losing their souls, which makes Huawei face great challenges.

Even in the face of the dynamic adjustment of the cooperative relationship with car companies, in recent years, when Huawei emphasized the stability of cash flow and gave up heavy assets to enter the automobile production, Huawei still responded many times and denied the path of building cars independently. At the beginning of this year, Ren Zhengfei, founder and CEO of HUAWEI, issued a decision announcement, stressing that "Huawei" or "Huawei" should not be used in vehicle promotion and appearance, and the time limit of "Huawei does not build cars" should be extended by five years.

Under this circumstance, in the limited cooperation with car companies, how Huawei can achieve the maximum benefit and the most ideal commercialization goal has become a core issue. In August, it was reported that Huawei made strategic adjustments to its BU business to reduce investment in non-core business and put money to the cutting edge. However, Huawei officials did not respond to this news.

In terms of business strategy, in the foreseeable time, the high probability of asking the world will still be the most important force point of Huawei’s car business. The new M7 and M9, which will be released on the 12th, will become the biggest concern of the international community in the second half of the year.

Positioning compact pure electric SUV, Extreme Krypton X will be launched on April 12th.

Recently, according to the official announcement of Krypton, Krypton X will be officially listed at 20:00 on April 12th. It is reported that the new car, as the third model, is positioned as a compact pure electric SUV, built on the vast pure electric architecture of SEA, and available in single-motor and dual-motor models.

The 3D stereo LED daytime running light consists of 41 light-emitting units on the left and right, and the double-edge line of the car body extended backward by the daytime running light makes the front of the car more full and stereoscopic.

The tail of the car is equipped with an integrated through taillight, and the "ZEEKR" luminous logo is in the center, which enhances the temperament of the whole car.

Evergrande Automobile announced that there was a risk of production suspension.

China Evergrande announced on March 22nd that Hengchi 5 was officially mass-produced on September 16th, 2022, and the first batch of mass-produced cars was delivered on October 29th, 2022. As of the date of this announcement, Evergrande New Energy Vehicle has delivered more than 900 vehicles. Due to the tight liquidity, in order to maintain basic business operations, Evergrande New Energy Automobile has taken measures to cut costs, such as reducing the number of its employees. By March 2023, Evergrande New Energy had 2,795 employees, compared with 3,742 employees by June 30, 2022.

Evergrande Automobile said that the Group was at risk of production suspension if it could not obtain new liquidity. However, if the Group can seek financing of more than 29 billion yuan in the future, it plans to launch a number of flagship models and hope to achieve mass production. Under this plan, the accumulated cash flow without leverage from 2023 to 2026 is expected to reach between negative 7 billion yuan and negative 5 billion yuan.

It is worth mentioning that on March 7, Evergrande New Energy Automobile Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd. and Evergrande New Energy Automobile (Guangdong) Co., Ltd., affiliated companies of Hengchi Automobile, were executed for more than 1.04 million yuan due to bill disputes. Counting this execution, the above-mentioned companies have been executed a total of 377 million yuan. Evergrande New Energy Automobile (Guizhou) Co., Ltd. has also been executed for nearly 300 million yuan, and was added to the list of dishonesty by the local court because of default in execution.

In addition, the Swedish Global Electric Vehicle Company (NEVS), a subsidiary of Evergrande Automobile, recently announced the launch of the "Hibernation Plan". According to the plan, the company plans to lay off 320 employees, accounting for nearly 95% of the total number of employees, which will start in the next six months. If the plan is fully implemented, NEVS will have only 20 employees left.

As the first mass-produced SUV model of Evergrande, Hengchi 5 is positioned as a compact SUV, which is equipped with a 150kW motor and a lithium iron phosphate battery from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited with a rated power of 72.8KWh and a cruising range of 602km, compared with luxury models such as Standard Benz GLA, Audi A3 and BMW X1.

Since the delivery began at the end of October last year, Hengchi 5 has been in constant turmoil. Within 15 days after the pre-sale, Hengchi 5 claimed that the order had exceeded 37,000 vehicles, but only 100 vehicles could be found in the delivery data at that time. By the end of December last year, Hengchi 5 had delivered a total of 324 vehicles.

It is also reported that Evergrande has been losing money continuously since it was renamed Evergrande in September 2020. According to the financial report data of Evergrande, in 2018, 2019 and 2020, Evergrande lost 1.429 billion yuan, 4.426 billion yuan and 7.394 billion yuan respectively, and the financial report for 2021 was not released on time.

Prior to this, the new HI version of Extreme Fox Alpha S was launched in Shenzhen and Shanghai respectively last year.

It is understood that the urban NCA promoted this time can realize autonomous cruising, unprotected intersection traffic, close-range congestion treatment, active overtaking lane change/parallel lane separation, tunnel traffic and other operations in urban areas.

It is reported that the new HI version of Extreme Fox Alpha S is equipped with 34 sensors in hardware, including 3 laser radars, 6 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors and 13 high-definition cameras to achieve 360 all-round coverage.

At present, with the continuous evolution of intelligent driving from ADAS to high-level autonomous driving, the stadium has shifted from high-speed to cities with more complex scenes. How to quickly overcome urban scenes to create a universal autonomous driving solution for the whole scene has become an urgent problem for the industry.

The Extreme Fox Alpha S HI version was launched on May 17, 2022, and the first batch of delivery was started on July 16, 2022. Previously, it has taken the lead in opening the NCA function in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Guangzhou, opening the NCA function in 249 cities across the country, and opening the 290,000-kilometer expressway intercity intelligent driving network. It has driven more than 300,000 kilometers safely, and intelligent parking has helped users realize worry-free parking for more than 45,000 times. In addition, through three OTA upgrades, it has added many functions, such as APA (Intelligent Parking Assistance) front parking, RPA remote parking, and ICA (Intelligent Cruise Assistance) in urban areas, and its high-level intelligent driving ability has continued to advance.

It is worth mentioning that in Shenzhen and Shanghai, urban NCA has become an important tool for users to travel, and the proportion of users who use this function is as high as 40%, and the use dependence of high-level intelligent driving is forming.

Ford Explorer EV officially released based on MEB platform.

A few days ago, a new compact pure electric vehicle jointly developed by Ford and Volkswagen was officially released. The vehicle was named Explorer EV, which was built on MEB platform and was the sister car of Volkswagen ID.4. The official said that the starting price of this car is expected to be 48,000 US dollars, about 330,000 yuan, and the new car will be officially delivered in early 2024.

In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car is designed in the current penetrating style, but it is not a penetrating light group. There are iconic hooked daytime running lights on both sides, and Ford’s brand LOGO is in the center of the enclosed grille. A U-shaped silver decorative strip is added to its lower enclosure, which echoes the bottom line of the enclosed grille and has a strong layering.

The suspended roof also appeared on this new car, and the C-pillar added individual decorative elements. I have to say that the design of the window line of the new car rising at the C-pillar really adds some strength to it. In addition, the style of multi-spoke two-color low wind resistance rim is also unique, which provides three sizes of 19/20/21 inches.

In terms of the rear end, the taillight style and the style surrounded by the rear echo the front of the car, which has a good sense of integrity. This car offers body colors including Arctic Blue and Vitality Blue, Frozen White, Magnetic Grey, Agate Black and Vitality Red. In terms of body size, its overall length is slightly shorter than ID.4.

For the interior, the new car uses a 15-inch Ford Sync Move central touch screen, just like the "move" in its name, which is a screen that can rise and fall. There are touch buttons on the island platform below the screen, which can control the volume and so on. The car is equipped with keyless entry, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and 10-color atmosphere lights. There is also a bright ambient light directly above the central control, which is actually a Sound Bar sound.

In terms of intelligent driving, the car is equipped with 12 ultrasonic radars, 5 cameras, etc. It is the first Ford model in Europe to provide automatic lane change function. Its other ADAS functions include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go function, pre-collision assistance, intersection alarm with active braking, and Active Park Assist 2.0 parking assistance system.

In terms of power, Ford has not released too many details. The official said that Explorer EV offers rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions, and the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 25 minutes in fast charging mode. The vehicle has the function of battery temperature pre-adjustment, and the charging speed, charging plan and trip planning can be optimized through the system. Ford said that users of Explorer EV can use more than 450,000 charging piles in Europe this year, and it will reach 500,000 by 2024, including more than 2,100 DC fast charging piles built by Ionity in more than 450 locations.

BYD’s "Yunnian" was officially announced or related to chassis technology.

A few days ago, BYD officially announced the "cloud". Judging from the descriptions of "going over mountains and mountains", "steadily moving forward" and "emperor’s car" in the copy, it seems to be a technology about chassis or driving system.

When BYD registered the trademark Yunqi, there were three kinds of Yunqi, Yunqi -A and Yunqi -P in the trademark name, which were somewhat similar to DM-i and DM-p in BYD’s plug-in technology.
