From "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" to the "Running Man" captain, people may think more of Deng Chao’s "snake spirit" side when mentioning him. The day before yesterday, at the launch of the movie "Passing Through Your World", Deng Chao also became a "funny responsibility" as always, doing selfie gymnastics, playing gourd babies, exploding selfies, and acting cute. However, Deng Chao revealed that in the movie "Passing Through Your World", he put away his usual funny side, turned into a radio DJ Chen Mo, and quietly listened to everyone’s stories.

　　"Runway film"?

　　I am a romantic radio DJ.

　　In the trailer, Deng Chao’s DJ Chen Mo appears on camera, wearing headphones and sitting in front of a recording microphone, reading "I wish there was someone like you." Deng Chao said that he actually spent a lot of time shaping the voice of the radio DJ. "Chen Mo is divided into two stages, the peak and the decline, and Chen Mo is already in the decline period at the beginning of the story."　　

　　Guangzhou Daily: Why are you so interested in the role of Chen Mo?

　　Deng Chao: First of all, he is very popular with everyone. I have heard of this book for several years before, and I didn’t expect to be able to act it myself. Then I usually listen to the radio and especially want to see the face behind the radio. He may not match your imagination at all. I feel that through this movie, I seem to have fulfilled a wish I had many years ago, because I also like listening to music in the car and listening to the radio DJ talk.

　　Guangzhou Daily: Can you tell me the story of this character?

　　Deng Chao: Because there is a time span in the movie, Chen Mo’s style is different from his heyday to his state of decline and abandonment, and his voice will be different at each stage.

　　Guangzhou Daily: You have always been very funny. Now that you are doing such an affectionate performance, will you be worried that the audience will play?

　　Deng Chao: I understand what you mean, just like I always hoped that "Burning Sun" would be a particularly great comedy, but it didn’t succeed. I thought the radio station, Chen Mo, and Zhang Jiajia’s novel were quite interesting, so I quickly went to that world to play.

　　"Love triangle" with Zhang Tianai Rhododendron?

　　It’s not just about love.

　　Deng Chao’s role as Chen Mo has a tangled emotional entanglement with Zhang Tianai’s Yi Chicken and Du Juan’s Xiao Rong in the film. Deng Chao describes one as a current love and the other as a past love, while Chen Mo has been vacillating. The relationship between him and Zhang Tianai has an inverted "My Savage Girlfriend" feeling, and he describes Chen Mo as actually a "Savage Boyfriend".

　　Guangzhou Daily: In the movie, you are torn between Yi Chicken and Xiao Rong?

　　Deng Chao: Yang Yang and Xiao Yueyue are both love saints and are more persistent. But Chen Mo has always been wavering between the two women.

　　Guangzhou Daily: How do you position your relationship with Zhang Tianai?

　　Deng Chao: How to describe it, it’s simple and complicated. I’ve always felt like a savage girlfriend myself, but upside down, I’m a "savage boyfriend".

　　Too busy to forget Qixi Festival?

　　"Every day is Qixi Festival"

　　When asked about his plans for the Qixi Festival, which was the day before, Mr. Deng said he had forgotten about it and was going to Wuxi to film on the same day. But when asked whether he would tell his wife, Sun Li, he declared that "every day is Qixi Festival".

　　Guangzhou Daily: How do you plan to celebrate the Qixi Festival?

　　Deng Chao: The Qixi Festival is going to be filmed on the spot, in Wuxi. I forgot about it, it’s great that you reminded me.

　　Guangzhou Daily: Have you ever had the habit of Qixi Festival?

　　Deng Chao: To be honest, I don’t, but I have to respond to the scene. Seeing everyone like that, I’m sorry.

　　Guangzhou Daily: How are you going to tell Sun Li?

　　Deng Chao: I am the Qixi Festival every day, no need for special expression, haha.

　　Guangzhou Daily: After "Running Man", you have a lot of kid fans. Did you think of that?

　　Deng Chao: Not at all. I was also very surprised. When we were filming this drama, there was a little girl and her mother waiting outside the studio. The little girl also held up a sign that said, "Uncle Deng Chao, I am your youngest fan." I was very touched. So I went back to educate Chen He to speak well, to say nutritious and positive words, and to convey positive energy to the children.

　　Directed by John Woo, the martial arts suspense love masterpiece "Sword Rain" has recently been exposed, and the pornographic female killer portrayed by Big S in the film has been exposed in advance. This is also the bold outflow of Big S’s first martial arts appearance.

　　"Sword Rain" was jointly invested by Pony Pentium Film and Hong Kong Media Asia Variety. The high cost, the heavyweight production team, and the joining of 12 international big-name actors make it one of the most anticipated blockbusters. In addition, the appearance of several sexy actresses, including Big S, Lin Xilei, Wu Peici, and Jiang Yiyan, also added a bit of "spring" to this martial arts suspense love masterpiece. In the film, Big S plays a lustful female killer with agile shots and a pungent personality. One of her classic lines in the play has the taste of a modern avant-garde woman: "What’s good about a man, it’s better to be a girl, it’s more interesting to play with a man." In the exposed photos, Big S was lying on a bed, her body only wrapped in a piece of silk, and her perfect body was revealed to the fullest. A fat man beside her might be her "prey".

　　According to the filmmakers, Big S’s characters are sexy, humorous, and have avant-garde lines. His characters indirectly reflect today’s feminist ideas. Big S, who starred in martial arts films for the first time, will continue to surprise audiences. "Sword Rain" will be released globally at the end of September this year.

On August 24, 2022, the "Windless Aerobic TAN Origin Traceability – 2022-2023 China Air Conditioning Industry Summit Forum" was held in Harbin under the guidance of China Household Appliances Association and sponsored by China Home Appliances Network.CC,Haier, Highly,Hisense, Kelon, Konka, Leader, Meibo,beautiful,Panasonic,TCLRepresentatives of mainstream household air-conditioning brands and core component manufacturers, as well as forumsexclusivechannel partnerJD.comHome appliances, data support agency GfK Zhongyikang, etc. gathered together to talk "double carbon"The innovative development and mission of the air-conditioning industry under the goal."

High temperature "heating" air conditioner market

Although autumn has begun, many places in China are still under high temperature during the "end" stage of the "dog days".How to cool the body and the heart? The air conditioner is obviouslymostA good choice. Therefore, in the "roasting" mode, refrigeration appliances represented by air conditioners ushered in a high-temperature "hot period" in July and August. According to GfK Zhongyikang monitoring data, the retail sales and retail sales of air conditioners in the online market in July increased by 41.6% and 44.6% year-on-year respectively. Entering August, the retail sales and retail sales of air conditioners in the online market in the past two weeks increased by 76.0% and 79.4% year-on-year respectively; the offline market volume and volume also achieved a year-on-year growth of over 20%. Such asbeautiful,HaierOaks,Hisense, Kelon,TCL,PanasonicMany air-conditioning companies, such as Meibo, Changhong, and Konka, have reported to China State Grid that during the peak air-conditioning season in the past two months, there are many high-temperature days and a wide range of coverage, and the sales of the company’s air-conditioning products have increased significantly compared with before. "The installation masters are running at full capacity," said the relevant person in charge of the air-conditioning company.

However, the staged bright performance of the air conditioner market is in sharp contrast to the cold industry in the first half of the year and even the entire 2022 cold year. According to GfK Zhongyikang data, in the first half of this year, the retail volume and retail sales of the household air conditioner market decreased by 20.1% and 14.1% respectively year-on-year; in the whole 2022 cold year, the retail volume and retail sales of the air conditioner market were 43.57 million units and 150.50 billion yuan, respectively, down 15.0% and 9.2% year-on-year. "The economic downturn and epidemic directly affect the income level of consumers, so the consumer confidence index decreased year-on-year." In the opinion of Peng Xiandong, general manager of GfK Zhongyikang’s large home appliance division, this directly affects consumers’ expectations for the home appliance market and the execution of purchasing power. The corresponding air conditioner is also affected and has declined significantly. In addition, air conditioners have further entered the existing market, with less new demand. Based on this, Peng Xiandong judged that the air conditioner industry will enter a low-speed era in the next two years, with incremental scarcity. The market core will shift from the pursuit of scale to the pursuit of quality.

Peng Xiandong, General Manager of GfK Zhongyikang Home Appliances Division

Wang Lei, secretary-general of the China Household Appliances Association, also believes that this is the result of multiple factors. Including the repeated regional epidemics across the country in the first half of the year, which put pressure on the industrial supply chain and had a negative impact on the demand for air conditioners; in addition, the real estate industry is also a factor strongly related to the demand for air conditioners; furthermore, the more important objective factor is that the popularity of household air conditioners has basically reached a high level. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of air conditioners owned by 100 households in China reached 117.7 units by the end of 2020, of which 149.6 were owned by 100 households in cities and towns. " At present, the social stock of air conditioners in the country has reached 540 million units, and the stock update has become the main body of current and future market consumption demand. This has a direct and long-term impact on the size of the air conditioner market. "

Seeking "new" kinetic energy under the stock

When the industry enters a new development stage dominated by "stock replacement", in terms of the external operating environment, as analyzed by Wei Lai, Chief Research Officer of Zijin Tianfeng Futures, raw material prices, which account for more than 85% of the cost of air conditioners, are getting rid of the traditional cyclical framework and reshaping into a new cycle, corresponding to the reshaping of the cyclical characteristics of air conditioners at both ends of cost and consumption. Under the characteristics of the new cycle, the market prospect of air conditioners is still broad, but it needs to seek new growth momentum inward.

So, where is the new way to break the growth? Perhaps, as described by Wang Lei and various air-conditioning companies – intelligently empowered, more energy-saving, comfortable, healthy, and high-end air conditioners will bring more enthusiasm and demand from consumers, and will also bring impetus to the technological progress and product innovation of the air-conditioning industry and industry. Recent consumer street research by China Home Appliance Network also shows that price is no longer the main factor in determining consumers to buy air conditioners. When considering "replacing" air conditioners, most consumers focus on products with more energy-saving, intelligent, comfortable, healthy and other functional characteristics. Such as fresh air conditioners, global windless air conditioners, washing air conditioners, sterilization health, self-cleaning air conditioners, sleep air conditioners, etc. are all their favorite products.

The change in consumer demand is reflected in the retail end, according to GfK Zhongyikang data, 2022 cold year, the new level of energy efficiency air conditioning sales in the online channel accounted for about 67.9%, the proportion of offline reached 78.7%; fresh air air conditioning online penetration rate of about 2.3%, an increase of 283%, offline penetration rate of about 6.7%, an increase of 59.5%. JD.com platform data also shows that in the first half of the year, the turnover of JD.com platform fresh air conditioners was 5.5 times that of the same period last year, and fresh air conditioners also showed characteristics higher than the broader market by 32%; during the "618" period, the turnover of JD.com platform fresh air conditioners increased by 460% year-on-year; JD.com home appliances "815" anniversary peak period of 28 hours, the turnover of fresh air conditioners increased by more than 4 times year-on-year. " The JD.com platform always takes consumer demand as the first starting point. "Zhang Yiming, marketing director of JD.com’s home appliance air conditioner business department, said that through active market research, JD.com home appliances and various air conditioner brands work closely together, with the same perspective. They all believe that the new air conditioner in the new product may be the next growth point of the industry." Combined with the trend of purification and health, the increase in fresh air volume will be more suitable for the needs of life scenes. "

At the enterprise level, it can be seen that more air-conditioning companies are also launching products with corresponding functions or even complex functions through technological innovation to meet the diverse, personalized and quality consumer needs of consumers. Taking Casarte air conditioners as an example, at the meeting, Yan Bo, general manager of Casarte air conditioners, introduced that due to the different air pain points faced by different climates and seasons, Casarte innovatively launched the luxury version of Yunding air conditioners. "The positioning of this product is’original ecological air maintenance expert ‘, hoping to achieve the maintenance of people, the maintenance of the environment, and the maintenance of high-end lifestyles through air conditioning. Overall, what we want to do is to pass on the high-end, comfort and wisdom of Casarte air conditioners to consumers."

Midea air conditioners are also working to increase the average price of the entire industry through air conditioner products that highlight health, comfort, and intelligence. Oaks, Hisense, TCL, Konka, Panasonic and other related air conditioning brands are focusing on the fresh air track, such as Oaks launched a four-season fresh air air conditioner that can change fresh oxygen in the whole house for 1 hour, Hisense launched a high-end air environment from six dimensions such as temperature, humidity, wind feeling, purification, etc. Brilliant C200, TCL launched a small blue wing II with a large fresh air volume of 60 cubic meters per hour without secondary wall punching holes, Konka launched a smart fresh air conditioner with dual-drive hybrid fresh air system, Panasonic Anchor Health and Smart launched a series of alcohol air, etc. They all meet consumers’ needs for a healthier and more comfortable home life experience through differentiated fresh air conditioners. Kelon Air Conditioning customizes more convenient, comfortable and healthy sleep solutions for users by creating smart sleep air scenes. In addition to home split machines, Meibo Air Conditioning has found sub-sectors such as wearable air conditioners and vehicle air conditioners to seek differentiation. Changhong Air Conditioning has built a healthy living atmosphere for consumers through the creation of a fresh environment with years of accumulation of dust-free technology.

As a company specializing in thermal management and environmental control, Invik has accumulated rich technical experience in the field of precision environmental control. Wang Xiangdong, general manager of Shenzhen Invik Health and Environment Technology Co., Ltd., believes that at present, "health" should be the main breakthrough in air conditioning innovation. In this regard, EBC Yingbao advocates "safe and healthy comfort is the real comfort", and advocates fundamentally solving the comfort problem of the air environment under the premise of safety and health, and is a one-machine solution to the air environment problem. "Our air environment machine adjusts or removes the temperature, humidity, cleanliness, various pollutants, microorganisms and other indicators of the air environment dynamically, harmoniously and synchronously through multi-dimensional phase control technology, and is committed to providing customers with a safe, healthy and comfortable air environment."

It can be seen that the product evaluation dimension based on factors such as energy conservation, health, and comfort is becoming the core driving force for the reform and upgrading of China’s air-conditioning supply side. Therefore, the three major product trends in the air conditioning industry in 2023 proposed at the summit forum, namely the "energy-saving" product trend represented by Midea Xuanyao 2-horse hanging machine, Oxmos Fresh Air Pro air conditioner, Kelong Sleeping Small Ear LZ air conditioner, and Meibo Xinxinpai intelligent AI voice air conditioner; the "comfort" product trend represented by Casarte connoisseur air conditioner system, COLMO TURING household central air conditioner, Hisense Bright series fresh air conditioner, Konka smart fresh air conditioner, and Commander BIGGER air curtain air conditioner; and the "health" product trend represented by Haier washing air cabinet hanging air conditioner, EBC Yingbao pure air environment machine, Panasonic alcohol air conditioner, and Changhong guest restaurant shared air conditioner, which has been highly recognized and affirmed by the guests and industry colleagues They all anticipate that these three major product trends will become a new engine for the growth of the air conditioning industry in the upcoming 2023 new cold year.

"Double carbon" engine drives green and high-quality development

In fact, whether it is the driving effect of extreme weather on air-conditioning consumption, or the pursuit of new energy conservation, health, and comfort at the enterprise level under the leadership of stock replacement, it can be made clear that changes in the environment, market changes, and demand are forcing air-conditioning enterprises to step up innovation and development, transformation and upgrading, and also put forward new and higher requirements for the high-quality development of the air-conditioning industry, that is, the air-conditioning industry and enterprises should be socially responsible and consumer-responsible enterprises and products.

According to the IEA report, the global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2018 were about 34.20 billion tons, of which the global energy consumption of air conditioners and fans accounted for about 3.8% of CO2 emissions. It is expected that by 2050, the energy demand for space cooling will increase more than threefold. There is no doubt that the green and low-carbon transformation of the air conditioning industry is imperative.

But objectively speaking, the green and low-carbon development of the air-conditioning industry still faces no small challenges. "For the refrigeration and air-conditioning industry, under the background trend of’dual carbon ‘, the biggest challenge is that the reduction of HFCs conventional refrigerants may bring corresponding quota problems, which may directly affect the operation of an enterprise." Li Tingxun, an associate professor at Sun Yat-sen University, believes that the future control of HFCs consumption, production or quota management may directly impact the development of the air-conditioning industry. So, how can the air-conditioning industry achieve carbon emission reduction? In Li Tingxun’s opinion, on the one hand, it is necessary to improve energy efficiency. At present, the energy efficiency of air-conditioners has increased by 15%, and it may increase by another 15% in the future by 2030. On the other hand, based on the carbon emissions directly caused by refrigerants, it is necessary to choose and develop more environmentally friendly refrigerant alternatives. In this regard, the only sure opportunity is that low GWP refrigerants will have a large application in the future. In addition, materials, production, transportation, warehousing and other links will also directly or indirectly lead to carbon emissions, so air-conditioning related companies also pay attention to the carbon emission reduction of the whole life cycle of air-conditioning products.

"Compared with other manufacturing industries, I personally think the energy saving and carbon reduction of the home appliance industry has advantages." Xie Nanan, director of the environmental and dual-carbon business department of the General Technology Inspection and Testing Group, analyzed that the reason is that the home appliance industry has implemented the trade-in policy more fully, and the improvement of energy efficiency of home appliances is to reduce energy consumption from the source. In addition, the intelligence of home appliances is a systematic improvement, which is to consider the improvement of energy efficiency from an overall perspective. In addition, there is still more room for expansion in the green and low-carbon transformation of the home appliance industry, such as the control role of the supply chain, energy consumption in the production process, energy structure adjustment, and non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gas emission reduction of refrigerants such as HFCs, which are worthy of attention and active promotion by home appliance companies such as air conditioners.

As Li Tingxun and Xie Nanan said, energy efficiency is only one part of low carbon, and to maximize carbon reduction, it is necessary to go through the whole life cycle of air-conditioning products. In this regard, more and more air-conditioning companies, including Midea, Haier, Oaks, and Hisense, have begun to focus on promoting green and low-carbon transformation at the manufacturing level or within the whole life cycle of air-conditioning products. Take Midea as an example. In 2021, Midea Group officially released a green strategy, focusing on six pillars: green design, green procurement, green manufacturing, green logistics, green recycling, and green services, to build a whole-process green industrial chain. " Among them, green design is the leader and traction of the entire green strategy. "Li Jinbo, director of the development center of Midea’s Air Conditioning Innovation Research Institute, said that in recent years, Midea’s air conditioners have accumulated rich technical and product innovation practices in green design. In terms of green technology, it has continued to lay out in environmental protection refrigerant technology, global ultra-high energy efficiency technology, new generation refrigeration technology, and cold storage and heat storage technology." Midea’s air conditioners will continue to expand the supply of green products through technological innovation, product innovation, and standard guidance, to meet the growing needs of users for a better life, and to promote the green and low-carbon transformation of the whole industry. "

Compressor companies, which are the core products of the upstream supply chain of air conditioners, are also actively promoting the green transformation of the industrial chain. For example, CMCC mentioned that building a green industrial chain and promoting the green design of parts and components, including miniaturization and low noise, are all future development directions of GMCC. Haili compressor also said that whether it is from environmentally friendly refrigerant substitution, energy efficiency improvement, including flattening and miniaturization, Haili compressor has always been serving the air conditioning industry and continues to move forward around the green and low-carbon development direction.

It is worth mentioning that at the meeting, Wang Lei and Lv Shenghua, editor-in-chief of China Home Appliances Network, led all the air-conditioning-related enterprises and industry guests to issue the "Green Energy-saving Air Conditioning Replacement Initiative" to the air-conditioning industry – actively responding to the national "double carbon" strategy and the 2022 National Home Appliance Consumption Season activities to promote the quality of green smart air conditioners, increase varieties, and create brands; industry organizations, upstream and downstream industries give full play to their respective advantages to promote a new round of "trade-in" and "home appliances to the countryside" work, promote the upgrade of air-conditioning consumption in an orderly manner, and continue to lead the trend of quality, greening, and intelligence of air-conditioning consumption. This move undoubtedly further sounded the clarion call for the green and low-carbon

　　In 2023, after three years of silence, offline concerts ushered in a strong recovery. 140,000 tickets for Jay Chou’s 7 concerts were sold out in one second, and nearly 300,000 tickets for 6 concerts in Mayday were sold out in 5 seconds. As of early July, Liang Jingru, Liu Ruoying and Zheng Jun started singing in Beijing. The Damai App shows that concert tickets for artists such as Lu Han, Ren Xianqi and Xu Wei, which will be held from mid-July to mid-August, have all been sold out. It has become the norm to have a ticket.

　　The number of large-scale music festivals and concerts has increased by more than 35 percent compared with the same period in 2019, according to data from the China Performance Industry Association, as large-scale performances have recovered rapidly since the first quarter of this year. To some extent, the performance economy can drive economic development along the way, including transportation, accommodation, catering, tourism and other fields. Take the Wang Yuan concert in Chongqing as an example. According to statistics, 85% of the audience came from outside Sichuan and Chongqing.

　　The venue schedule for the "restart" of the 10,000-level performance in March has been scheduled for August next year

　　When did the performance market become "branched" after the COVID-19 pandemic implemented Type B and B tubes? On March 26 this year, Old Wolf Beijing started singing. This is the first large-scale concert held in Beijing in the past three years, and it is also the opening debut of the Beijing Cadillac Center. Beijing Cadillac Center is an important part of Huaxi LIVE · Wukesong, and Huaxi LIVE currently covers three cities, namely Beijing, Chongqing, and Chengdu. The first two cities are "10,000 People Hall". On March 25, the Old Wolf concert landed in Beijing, and from March 25 to 26, the "Chongqing Banan Zhuguang Shanhai (Appointment of Land and Sea) Music Festival" was held in Chongqing, which led to the "restart" of 10,000-level performances in the two cities.

　　"At the beginning of the year, we didn’t have a particularly strong confidence, because watching performances is not a necessity of life, it is a spiritual consumption, and how to let everyone pay attention to this field was the focus of exploration at that time. The Old Wolf concert went through months of preparation, and from worrying about attendance to empty tickets and hard to find a ticket, this performance became an industry model." Wen Wen, general manager of culture and sports of Huaxi Group, said that at the beginning of this year, due to concerns about the uncertain market situation, the agreed venue for the performance was usually booked first, and the ticket sales were good before adding a performance. After March, it became two or even more performances. "Everyone’s confidence was stimulated."

　　Beijing Cadillac Center, also known as Wukesong Gymnasium, is the venue for the basketball competition of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Since 2011, Huaxi Group has built Huaxi LIVE · Wukesong around the facilities of Wukesong Gymnasium, and gradually developed into a sports service complex integrating large-scale sports events, large-scale cultural performances, sports training, national fitness and other formats.

　　In 2023, the performance schedule of Wukesong Stadium reached a historical high, with the highest number of performances reaching more than 10 in a single month. In the second half of 2023, the highest number of single-month reservations reached 12. The schedule for 2024 has also been arranged until August.

　　The venue dominates the "schedule" performance market, which brings double challenges

　　The "full" performance posed a new challenge to the venue.

　　Similar to Taipei’s Little Arena and Hong Kong’s Hung Hom Stadium, Beijing’s Huaxi LIVE has become an industry benchmark in the mainland performance market. The first challenge is how to balance the needs of all parties when influential artists want to come here to hold concerts. Wen Wen said that there are mainly two dimensions to consider. The first is to return to its own positioning. Huaxi LIVE mainly targets young consumer groups under the age of 35. Considering that they want to watch the performance, they will continue to release enthusiasm after the performance and drive other business matching formats, so they will choose artists according to the preferences of such groups. The second dimension is to consider the market appeal of artists, such as Li Zongsheng, Zhou Huajian and other leading figures in the Chinese music industry will sing in Beijing this year. They not only have strong market influence, but are also irreplaceable.

　　In addition, the popularity of the song, the recent popularity of the artist, and the artist’s own tour schedule should also be taken into account. These criteria are interspersed with each other, and decisions are made through comprehensive evaluation.

　　At present, 85% of domestic artists will choose to hold concerts in the stadium. And a performance requires a certain cycle from stage construction, rehearsal, to official performance and withdrawal. Therefore, the second challenge facing the venue is how to quickly complete the transition when the schedule is saturated? It is understood that at present, the Beijing Cadillac Center will match the needs of the performers to tour multiple cities according to the principle of "schedule advance, one-stop booking". As long as this schedule is determined, all the needs of the performers can be met. And, from an operational point of view, the venue has achieved uninterrupted staff and continuous rotation 365 days a year, enabling fast switching between venues.

　　After the market surge, it will calm down, and there is still room for improvement as a whole

　　Will the recovery of the performance economy be sustainable or "retaliatory rebound"? Wen Wen believes that, on the whole, people’s spiritual and cultural needs match the speed of economic development. China’s performance market still has a large market potential waiting to be tapped, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

　　From a single year perspective, the explosive growth in 2023 is not a completely normal state, but a big surge after the market has been backlogged for a long time. This surge will gradually calm down, but calm does not mean the decline of the overall market, but a return to the normal state. "The box office of many artists this year has exceeded our expectations. It will take time to test whether it becomes normal."

　　In addition, with regard to the negative phenomena such as scalpers caused by the explosion of the performance market, Wen Wen said that currently, from the government to ticketing companies to venues, they are all working together to promote this link on the right track, including the implementation of strong real-name electronic tickets, on-site verification of the integration of people and witnesses, and on-site reservation of blank areas to deal with personnel changes and other measures to further standardize the market.

　　Break the "self-investment and self-construction" joint performance upstream and downstream to solve the problem of the venue

　　In recent years, Wukesong Stadium has hardly undertaken any large-scale events and performances except for the protection of important sports events and the Honor of Kings Winter Champions Cup Finals in 2020. This "cold winter" is regarded by Wenwen as a process of survival of the fittest in the entire industry. Now that the performance economy has recovered, Huaxi LIVE hopes to further exert its blood-making ability and travel lightly to drive the development of the industry. For example, the small and medium-sized venues built in Chengdu that can accommodate about 3,000 people can realize standing performances, which is equivalent to a large livehouse, which is more in line with the needs of young people and more flexible for holding piano concerts, e-sports competitions, concerts and other activities.

　　At the same time, Huaxi will break through the "self-investment and self-construction" model, turn the team’s operation and maintenance capabilities, management standards and other resources into "light assets", and cooperate with other existing cities (first-tier and quasi-first-tier) sports venues to operate, such as the current attempt in Xi’an. In addition, it will also contact the upstream and downstream industries to match some cities and venues for performers in a targeted manner, so as to provide better venue services quickly.

　　By our reporter, Chen Si

　　On December 25th, the launch conference of "Yue Xiang Pioneer" BYD "Song L" was held in Yintai City in Harbin. Dozens of mainstream media in the circle and many fans gathered at the scene to witness the "B-class pioneer hunting SUV"-"Song L" leading the tide in the ice city. The new car has launched four rear-drive models and one four-wheel drive model, with an official guide price of 189,800 yuan-249,800 yuan. In addition, there are six listed pet powder rights including the enjoyment of financial gifts and the enjoyment of new gifts!

　　At the beginning of the conference, "Song L" came on stage with its unique avant-garde aesthetics. The unique hunting posture became the focus of the audience as soon as it appeared, which contributed a visual feast to the guests. At the press conference, Ren Jianjun, deputy director of the North Theater of BYD Dynasty Network, said in his speech: "As a high-end model of the Song family, the’ Song L’ is fully equipped at the beginning, and its face value, control, space, safety and intelligence are all full, plus the competitive listing price, the strength leads the new standard of the value of B-class pure electric SUV."

　　In addition, in this release ceremony, Mr. An Yuning, the producer of Heilongjiang Metropolitan Channel, took the stage as a media representative to testify, which not only talked about the pioneering driving and control feelings brought by "Song L" from many angles, but also praised the pioneer of "Song L", saying that it lived up to the name of "the most beautiful B-class hunting SUV". At the same time, at the press conference, the first batch of car owners in Harbin also came to the scene at the request, and witnessed by all the staff, successfully concluded the delivery ceremony and officially became the pioneer partner of "Song L".

　　With a full face value, you can enjoy the most beautiful hunting SUV.

　　Yan value is justice! "Song L" won the reputation of "the most beautiful hunting SUV" as soon as it appeared. The moderately advanced style accurately hits the aesthetics of mainstream quality families.

　　You want a low dive posture, yes! The dragon face design you want, there is! You have all the frameless doors, adaptive electric tail fins and wide tires! It is a visual feast!

　　Too high a face value often makes people ignore the strength, but "Song L" perfectly combines pioneering design and functionality to truly achieve "beauty" and "material": the frameless door adopts double-layered laminated glass, and Fuyao’s top-grade steel glass technology brings better tightness and quietness; The adaptive electric tail can rise and fall with the speed, effectively reducing the drag coefficient, which is of great significance for improving endurance and handling performance; The standard tires with narrow front and wide back make it difficult for "Song L" to swing its tail when changing lanes at high speed, ensuring the safety of emergency avoidance.

1905 movie network feature "If you didn’t say I’m sixty-nine, I forgot about me sixty-nine." On April 7th, he celebrated his 69th birthday. This day is also the release day of his new starring film.

"I always thought I was still young, but sometimes I really couldn’t do it," such as jumping from a high place and realizing that two injured knees would hurt. Jackie Chan said, "My habit is to keep forgetting my age."

This time, in order to shoot "The Spirit of Dragon Horse", he decided to postpone the knee surgery and perform nine injections to close it. Every action scene was really hard to beat. After half a year of pain relief, it was exhausted in 20 days.

Age doesn’t stop Jackie Chan from continuing to dare to fight. He doesn’t think that at this age, he can’t fight anymore. In this movie, he still brings a lot of thrills to the audience, such as the dangerous move of sliding down the stairs, and he still plays it himself. "I have a good foundation to do things that a normal 69-year-old can’t do."

Entering the industry at the age of 8, he has brought nearly 200 works to audiences in 60 years. Six days after its release, "The Spirit of Dragon Horse" has broken the billion-dollar box office. Jackie Chan’s action movies have spanned generations and continue to maintain their appeal and attractiveness. Going in both directions with the audience, Jackie Chan admitted that "action movies are my life".

PART.01 Jackie Chan and the Red Rabbit

In "Dragon Horse Spirit", Jackie Chan plays the Dragon Tiger martial artist Lao Luo, whose story of being close to his beloved horse, Red Rabbit, is warm and touching.

Lao Luo took care of the defective Red Rabbit and grew up, and the Red Rabbit also accompanied Lao Luo on the set to challenge various difficult action scenes. They had the same heart, but they were once forced to break up, separated through pain, and finally reunited, poking the audience in tears.

This is not the first time Jackie Chan has filmed with horses, he spent three months in Canada learning to ride horses. "You ride, he rides, and the horse doesn’t know who to listen to. Everyone rides differently. So I have to stand next to it every day, give it a smell of me, hold it, and talk to it."

Talking about getting along with the pony Red Rabbit, Jackie Chan revealed that he had a set of strategies for cultivating feelings. From the beginning of contact, he asked that only he could touch the Red Rabbit, "I can only feed it, only I can ride it." Jackie Chan knew very well that if they did not establish a close relationship in advance, "If you grab it suddenly, the Red Rabbit may pick you. Its nose is very hard, and if you pick it, you will have a nosebleed."

"The director picked a good horse for me." Jackie Chan praised the pony, Chi Rabbit, whose eyes were very smart, and he didn’t need to lead him when walking, so he would follow him naturally. Inside and outside the play, "one dragon and one horse" cooperated tacitly, and Chi Rabbit’s spiritual performance also brought great surprises to the audience.

PART.02 Jackie Chan and the action

"Do you regret making an action movie?" Looking back at the life of an action man forged with blood and sweat, Jackie Chan said frankly, "I regret it for a moment, but I forget it."

When shooting, his foot was injured in the morning, and he continued to shoot in the afternoon; when his hand was "broken", he continued to shoot on the spot. Whenever he didn’t want to shoot a thrilling action, he wanted to give up for a while, and when he heard that the movie was about to start, Jackie Chan still had his eyes shining and immediately took the initiative to go to the "battlefield".

"We’re used to it, this is how we do martial arts. Whether it’s me, or our Dragon Tiger martial artist, is there something wrong? It’s okay. One kick, it’s okay. Come again? OK. If you have something to go back and have something to do, there will be nothing at all at the scene. Go out happily, go home sad and hurt, this is martial arts, this is our fate."

Once Jackie Chan was injured while filming and had an operation on his head. "Seven days after the operation, I called home and told my family that I was in the hospital. What’s the matter? It’s alright, the operation is over. I’m still going to lie to my mother."

For so many years, Jackie Chan’s mother has not finished watching one of his movies in its entirety. "She feels uncomfortable when I hit someone, and she feels even more uncomfortable when someone hits me. She only watches it when she is in a literary drama."

"The Spirit of Dragon Horse" takes the audience back to the classic scenes of Jackie Chan fighting for his life again and again. Jackie Chan made the world appreciate the brilliance and brilliance of Chinese action movies, but at the same time, he also carried a series of injuries.

"I can live to this day and still be lively here. I don’t know when I will be in a wheelchair and pedal on crutches." Jackie Chan lamented that it was really not easy to rely on movements all the way. "The doctor said I can’t fight anymore, (I think) let’s hit it first, and hit it lightly. Rest, don’t shoot, it’s impossible, I’d rather not be able to shoot!"

In the dialogue between Lao Luo and his daughter in the film, Jackie Chan says that it is like what he said to his family: "Don’t ask me where I am going, go out to work, and come back after work. If I don’t come back, come to the hospital to see me."

"I’ve been making action movies all my life, but I also know that one day, I will definitely come down." Even if Jackie Chan will not accept the kung fu now, he knows that some changes need to be made. "Let the audience slowly accept that watching Jackie Chan’s play does not have to be a fight."

Jackie Chan also performed a lot of literary dramas in other films. His grasp of various emotional dramas in "Spirit of Dragon Horse", especially the delicate interpretation of the crying scene, is also commendable. Jackie Chan wants audiences to know that he is not only good at kung fu, but also a good actor in all aspects.

PART.03 Jackie Chan and his fans

"How far have you traveled to meet this time, and the vow of youth will be settled after decades." At the end of "Dragon Horse Spirit", Jackie Chan sang the song "Youth Story" affectionately, which is not only Lao Luo’s look back on his career as a martial artist, but also his portrayal of the story of 60 years of hard work in the film.

The song was sung during the fourth annual Jackie Chan International Action Film Week in 2018, and Jackie Chan dedicated it to the "family class" who worked together. Talking about the meaning behind the song, Jackie Chan felt a lot. "When I sang this song, they cried profusely. Everyone is a strong man, crying profusely."

"Plan A"… These classic screen masterpieces of Jackie Chan’s past are buried in "Dragon Horse Spirit" in the form of Lao Luo’s appearance, movements and other easter eggs. Jackie Chan’s screen youth story is also the youth memory of countless "dragon fans".

"Dragon Horse Spirit" embodies Jackie Chan’s "Never say No" spirit, and this film is also his gift to the stuntmen of Dragon Tiger martial artists around the world.

"I hope that when I can still fight, move, act and dance, I will make a movie every year for all audiences," Mr. Chan said.

1905 movie network news Recently, the main poster of the 6th Jackie Chan International Action Film Week was announced. The poster was designed by Lin Cunzhen, deputy dean of the School of Design of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and director of image landscape art of the cultural activity department of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games Organizing Committee. It is composed of the number 6 representing the 6th session and the big gong being sounded.

Among them, the combination of the number 6 and the film shape highlights the theme of kung fu and technology in the form of technology and light sense; and as a classic musical instrument in traditional Chinese opera and action drama, the gong interprets the phonetic synesthesia of action movies. Whether the name of the "big gong" or the action of "playing the gong" is cleverly homophonic with the host city Datong, fully setting off the festive atmosphere of the film week.

It is reported that the activities of the sixth Jackie Chan International Action Film Week include "city entry ceremony" and "theme forum".The festival will be held from October 14 to 16 in Datong, Shanxi.

　　Lane 41, Sanyuan Road, Putuo District, Shanghai, is a commercial and residential building where the blue-and-white "Ele.me" logo hangs. He Shengsheng, 28, is the webmaster of the food delivery platform Ele.me in Shanghai.

　　"In December 2014, I came to Shanghai to work hard and saw that Ele.me was recruiting a large number of riders, and the salary was not bad, so I came here." He Shengsheng told First Financial Reporter that in May 2015, due to his outstanding work performance, he was promoted to become a stationmaster, mainly responsible for helping riders solve problems encountered in daily work and life.

　　Ele.me Hummingbird Delivery released the "2018 Takeaway Riders Group Insight Report" shows that there are more than 3 million registered riders in Hummingbird Delivery, of which 77% of Hummingbird riders are from rural areas, the average age is about 29 years old, and the proportion of post-95s has exceeded 20%. Riders deliver 48 orders per day on average, and travel nearly 150 kilometers.

　　With the accelerated pace of life, people are increasingly concerned about the value of time, and instant delivery has come into being. Nowadays, instant logistics distribution platforms have entered the field of intra-city, small-scale, and takeaway, and gradually expanded to the field of fresh food, supermarket delivery, and even a wider range of express terminal areas.

　　longest3.5kilometer

　　As a young man who came to Shanghai from Lu’an, Anhui Province to work hard, making money is He Shengsheng’s top priority.

　　"Joined Ele.me as a rider on December 22, 2014. At that time, the order volume was not very large. The overtime salary was more than 8,000 yuan, and the unit helped pay five insurances and one housing fund." He Shengsheng told reporters that there are now 65 riders (full-time + part-time) under his own management. Every month, the company will settle the salary according to its own control of the site and performance. Generally, if you do a good job, the monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan; if you do a little worse, 6,000 to 8,000 yuan.

　　The reporter learned that almost all the instant delivery fields such as Ele.me, Meituan, and Dada use the agent model. Take Ele.me as an example. Ele.me has dozens of agents in Shanghai, each agent has multiple sites, and the maintenance of the site is jointly managed by the channel manager dispatched by Ele.me and the area manager dispatched by the agent. And He Shengsheng’s site belongs to Jiangxi Hummingbird Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd.

　　When He Shengsheng first took over the position of stationmaster, most of his time was occupied by manual orders, such as the same rider arranging several orders in the same direction for him. "At that time, it was still manual, and there was no intelligent order like now."

　　The intelligent dispatching system He Shengsheng mentioned is the "Ark" of Ele.me intelligent dispatching system, which is the core link in the field of instant delivery of takeout. The system replaces most of the work of webmasters, reduces the degree of human intervention, and realizes automated and intelligent dispatching.

　　The first financial reporter saw in the computer background of the Ele.me site that the Ark system can display the intelligent scheduling order link: user order, merchant order, intelligent scheduling (rider order/robot order), delivery to users, etc. Through big data and machine learning, user orders are matched with the optimal path under the optimal decision to ensure delivery efficiency.

　　In addition, the system can also display the location of the rider in real time, as well as the number of orders in his hand and the number of orders to be completed. "The location is mainly based on the rider’s exclusive app loaded in the rider’s mobile phone. Generally, the rider who completes the order delivery task will return to the business district where he is located, which is convenient for the system to send orders. The longest straight line distance from the food pickup point to the customer is 3.5 kilometers." The business district He Shengsheng is in charge of is the Centennial Central Shopping Plaza and 118 Square in Putuo District. How far is 3.5 kilometers? If you use a 1 yuan coin (25mm diameter) to spread in a straight line, you need 140,000 pieces.

　　In the current situation of intelligent ordering, He Shengsheng no longer dispatches orders manually, but also needs to manage the riders, such as the problems encountered by the riders need to be dealt with in a timely manner; in terms of orders, there are merchants who need to be solved, and riders who need to come to him to solve. In addition, it depends on whether the distribution of system orders is reasonable.

　　"The factors to judge whether an order is reasonable are based on a rider’s ability to carry orders in the past period of time, the timeliness of orders, the timeliness of riders’ delivery, etc. Only in this way can we determine the amount of riders’ orders and the shortest time he can deliver orders to customers." He Shengsheng revealed that under normal circumstances, riders with strong ability have no problem going out to receive 12 to 15 orders at a time. If they encounter peak delivery periods, such as going to the same office building for food delivery, they can also reach 18 orders at a time.

　　The Ark system will combine nearby orders from the same street and the same building, and deliver them to one rider in a unified manner, which is called "chasing orders" in the industry. He Shengsheng said: "Although it doesn’t matter if the pickup point is different, as long as the customer is in the same building, the delivery efficiency is quite high. This is why so many orders are sent to capable riders, because he knows which restaurant is fast and which is slow, and he will go to the restaurant with the fast meal first."

　　From "bronze" to "king"

　　This is an industry where every second counts, and riders need to consider two factors: the speed of the restaurant’s delivery, and whether the customer is in the same location. They need a path plan.

　　For a rider who has been in the job for a long time and has strong ability, after he receives the order, he has a plan, such as which restaurant to drop by, where to pick up the meal, the speed of the restaurant’s delivery, etc., and then deliver it to the customer. Which orders are delivered first or some customers urge orders to be delivered first, there is a reasonable plan.

　　He Shengsheng said: "For a new rider, he doesn’t know where the restaurant is, so the Ele.me platform will tell him where the food pickup point is and where the delivery point is, and he can follow the prompts given to him by the system. In this case, it is more suitable for him to give one or two orders at a time."

　　Ark learns the rider’s food delivery data, delineates the rider’s level, and ladders the rider’s target order quantity at all levels, so as to make a ability portrait for each rider, and assigns the waybill to the most suitable rider.

　　During the midday and evening peaks of takeout, Ark will prioritize orders to high-level riders during peak periods based on waybill efficiency to improve delivery efficiency. According to data provided by Ele.me, the Ark system can process orders at a peak of more than 80 orders per second. During the peak period of takeout, Ark will emphasize fairness on the basis of considering efficiency. Through big data analytics, the order volume of riders is balanced to ensure that the order volume allocated by riders of the same level and team is roughly the same within a certain time span.

　　The Ele.me platform divided Hummingbird’s riders into different levels, and the Honor of Kings game was divided into 6 levels, followed by bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, and king. "The more orders a rider gives, the better, the higher the level will be."

　　"Different agents may pay riders different salaries in different cities. The salary of riders on our site consists of three parts: 1. Performance commission, the standard is less than 600 orders, according to 7 yuan/order; more than 600 orders, according to 8 yuan/order. 2. Subsidies are made according to the weight, distance, weather, rider level, etc. of each order. 3. There are praise rewards and rush orders rewards every month." He Shengsheng said that the average monthly income of full-time riders at his site is 7,000-9,000 yuan, and the KPI assessment indicators for riders are similar, basically changing once a month. At present, the main assessment is the cancellation of riders’ delivery and T12 timeout.

　　T12 timeout refers to a timeout of 12 minutes. For example, the assessment time of the rider’s order T is 10:30. If the rider arrives after 10:42, it has exceeded the time value of the rider’s order assessment.

　　How to determine what time is the expectation of the booking customer? He Shengsheng said that under normal circumstances, it is divided into pre-orders and instant orders, and pre-orders can be booked to a certain time period; for instant orders, the system will determine the time expected by the customer of the order according to the timeliness of the restaurant, order memory and other factors, and then give a time.

　　Not only Ele.me, but also its competitors Meituan and Dada have long integrated AI and big data into their business development.

　　The reporter learned that there are many entrants in the field of instant delivery at present, mainly divided into three categories: one is established in 2014, flash delivery, Dada, UU errands and other established intra-city courier companies, the other is the instant delivery originating from the takeaway model, such as Ele.me’s Hummingbird delivery, Meituan’s Meituan special delivery team, Dada-JD Daojia’s new Dada, etc.; the third is SF Express, Yuantong, Yunda and other traditional logistics companies, SF Express’s instant delivery business, Yuantong’s timing, Yunda’s cloud delivery. The players on the track are gathered, all intending to get a share of this emerging market.

　　For the future, He Shengsheng expressed the hope that he can seize the opportunity and grow with the takeaway platform. (Wang Hai)

It’s getting less and less useful.　

"33 minutes of use, the amount payable is 5 yuan." After returning the shared power bank in a shopping mall in Beijing, Yang Hui (a pseudonym) stared at the payment page on his mobile phone and sighed again.　

When the bubble of sharing economy such as shared bicycles, shared cars, and shared umbrellas burst, only shared power banks came all the way to the end. At present, the market pattern of "three electricity and one beast" dominated by street electricity, small electricity, incoming calls and monster charging has been formed. On May 19, "Shared Charging First Share" Monster Charging released its first financial report since listing. Data show that its 2021 Quarter 1 operating income was 846.90 million yuan, an increase of 162.5% year-on-year.　

Head-sharing charging operators seem to have survived well, but they have been criticized for gradually raising rental prices. What is the logic behind the price increase? Is the price increase a normal market behavior, or is it a new round of "cutting leeks" after the operator’s "horse race"?

Why have prices risen?

The payment information shown to reporters by Yang Hui shows that using a brand of shared power bank for 33 minutes requires a payment of 5 yuan.　

The increase in the price of shared power banks has attracted the attention of consumers as early as 2019. Recently, with the surge in user scale and landing scenarios, prices have risen again. Consumers have felt strongly about this, which has further promoted the topic.

At present, the billing system of shared power banks is mainly divided into free time, billing standard, billing unit, daily cap price, and total cap price. After sorting out the adjustments made by operators to several of the standards in recent years, the reporter found that any change in the standard will affect the rental price accordingly.

Taking incoming calls as an example, in 2019, users can charge for free for 2 hours in a single consumption, while the free time in 2020 and 2021 has been cancelled; in terms of billing standards, it will cost 1 yuan per 30 minutes in 2019 and 2 yuan per 30 minutes in 2020; in terms of billing units, it will be charged every 30 minutes in 2019 and 2020, less than 30 minutes will be charged for 30 minutes, and in 2021 it will be charged per hour, and less than 1 hour will be charged for 1 hour.

"Maybe the two-hour free time is about the same. Now not only has the free time been shortened or cancelled, but the billing standard has also been changed, and it is obvious that more money is spent." Yang Hui said. It is worth noting that even if the billing standard has not changed on some platforms, the adjustment of the billing unit will make consumers pay more for the same time. For example, under the premise of the same 1 hour and 15 minutes of use, the user will pay 1.5 yuan more for a billing unit that charges 3 yuan per hour than a billing unit that charges 1.5 yuan per 30 minutes.

The adjustment of the billing system, coupled with the different landing scenarios, has further caused the rental price to rise. After visiting several business districts in Beijing, the reporter found that the rental price of shared power banks is basically stable at 2 to 3 yuan per hour, and KTV, bars, Internet celebrity stores, popular scenic spots and other places with high traffic will reach 4 to 5 yuan per hour.

Jiang Han, a senior researcher at Pangu Think Tank, told the China Reporter that the core purpose of the price increase is to seek more financing. "When the sharing economy became a trend, it may be possible to raise enough funds with a PPT, and now the market has passed the’burning money ‘period. Most consumers driven by electricity anxiety will not choose to abandon it because of price issues, which is why operators dare to risk user churn to rashly increase prices when they are short of money." Chen Liteng, a life service e-commerce analyst at the Internet Economic and Social Research Center, also told reporters that shared power banks used to be "horse racing" at a low price, without considering income. Now the market is mature, users have formed usage habits, and platforms are more concerned about sustainable development.

From the perspective of the profit model, it may be more revealing the logic behind the price increase. Experts say that the way for shared power bank operators to make money is to continuously pave the way. When there are more and more entrants, in order to seize market share, operators can only accept high admission fees and give merchants certain bargaining rights. The prospectus from Monster Charging shows that its commission rate has risen from 42.7% in 2019 to 44.1% in 2020, and the entrance fee has increased by as much as 260%.

The reporter learned that there are currently two types of merchants laying shared power banks: buyout type and franchise type. Under the buyout type, after purchasing from the operator, the merchant takes all the proceeds of the user’s rental and has the right to adjust the unit price of the rental; under the franchise type, the merchant and the platform share the proceeds. It is worth noting that the sharing ratio between the two parties is gradually imbalanced. "At present, the merchant will take 70% of the profits and withdraw cash from the Mini Program every month." A ground marketing staff of the small electric power bank told the China Report reporter that for stores that want to increase prices, the small electric does not specify the price increase range, but will give suggestions according to market conditions, "It is too outrageous and will damage our image, and users will not accept it."

Under multiple factors, price increases seem inevitable, and operators are becoming more and more cautious. The ground marketer revealed that whether it is new points or old contract renewal points, the net profit that merchants can eventually bring to operators has become a new standard for measuring performance. "This is completely different from the more you shop, the more money you get."

What are the key factors for future competition in the industry?

Will the price of shared power banks continue to rise?

"Changes in prices will inevitably affect the number of users. This is a dynamic process. As long as there is market demand, appropriate price adjustments will help maximise the platform’s revenue, while the retention of users will inhibit price fluctuations and gradually form a suitable price system," Chen Liteng said. Jiang Han believes that with the monopoly in the regional scope, operators can have a certain amount of room for price increases. If it exceeds the tolerance limit of consumers, it may lead to a crisis of trust.

In fact, it is not only the price issue, but also the overlord clause, difficult return, slow charging speed and other issues of shared power banks, as well as factors such as smart phone battery life capacity enhancement and low price of online power banks, which also make the profit model The development of a single shared power bank industry is increasingly limited.

On April 1 this year, Monster Charging became the "first share of shared power banks" in China, and Jiedian and Sodian also announced the completion of the merger on the same day. Subsequently, Xiaodian Technology sprinted to Hong Kong stocks. As early as May last year, Meituan announced its re-entry into the field of shared power banks. Industry insiders speculate that with the high stickiness between consumers, Meituan’s entry may change the industry landscape.

"Increasing prices is not the ultimate solution to the problem, and the merger of Street Power and Soupower is also normal. Now it is either a group to keep warm or to speed up the listing, which is an inevitable development outcome." Jiang Han analyzed that in addition to renting the majority of the income of shared power bank operators, there is also a small amount of advertising business and power bank sales. If you want to achieve long-term sustainable development, you must find profitable business models. "From the current point of view, these models are not profitable."

Shared power banks are also seeking to make great progress. "Bamang Technology", established after the merger of Jiedian and Soudian, will create innovative consumer scenes, and has launched smart end points such as mask machines and body temperature monitors; Monster Charging also positions itself as a "technology consumer company" and crosses the Baijiu business.

"What should we do? Or what is the right thing to do? No one can give a clear answer now, but from a diverse perspective, is there any other way to get more revenue? Or like Meituan, there are other businesses that can be used as support, and sharing power banks is just a means to improve user stickiness, or to improve service levels." Jiang Han said.
