The movie "First Incense" is based on Zhang Ailing’s novella "Agarwood Crumbs · First Incense". It tells the story of Ge Weilong, a female student from Shanghai, who goes to study in Hong Kong and lives in the home of his aunt, Mrs. Liang, but is trained by Mrs. Liang as a social bait. Finally, Ge Weilong marries his son-in-law brother, Qiao Qiqiao, and becomes a tool for making money. The film is directed by Xu Anhua, and this is her third time shooting Zhang Ailing’s novel after and after.

It is reported that "The First Incense" also brings together actors such as Yu Feihong, Zhang Junjun, Fan Wei, Liang Luoshi, Zhang Jianing, Yin Fang, Qin Pei, and Bai Bing, and the film will be released in China in 2020.

　　　 The new film "Sword Rain", produced by John Woo and directed by Su Zhaobin, held a press conference in Hong Kong on the 29th. Woo and Su Zhaobin led the actors: Michelle Yeoh, Zheng Yusheng, and Yu Wenle, who attended together. Michelle Yeoh has announced in advance that she will not accept interviews independently, and seems to want to avoid talking about the peach news about her younger brother and Cai Huimin. The reason why Michelle Yeoh collaborates with John Woo this time is because many years ago in the United States, when they thought it was difficult to find a good script, she admitted that she has been eager to cooperate with John Woo, but unfortunately there is no chance. After many years, she feels so happy to finally get along on the big screen, and all the actors are like "developed". Speaking of his partner Zheng Yusheng, Michelle Yeoh praised him and said: He is very diligent, and he will keep practicing Mandarin when he is not buried. In the play, he reads all the dialogue in Mandarin, and he also works hard to practice swordsmanship, which makes her feel embarrassed.

　　　 Zheng Yusheng greeted and introduced himself to the media present in Mandarin. Regarding Yeoh’s admiration, he said: As a woman, Yeoh has her own style, is a good cooperation and responsible actor, she will show her best side, which impressed him deeply. She has a good heart and character, and she is a good girlfriend. After saying that, the two dragged their hands, and Yu Wenle smiled and pointed out that Zheng Yusheng was too late. When Zheng Yusheng learned that Yeoh had a good boyfriend, he asked Yeoh: Can I make an appointment in the next life? Yeoh was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth with a smile.

　　　 John Woo was asked if there was any pressure to shoot "Sword Rain"? He admitted frankly: There has never been any pressure at the box office, and the most important thing is that the audience is very happy to like it. "Sword Rain" has been highly praised in mainland China, Europe, America and Hong Kong, and it sold better than "Red Bi" in Europe and America. It cost tens of millions of dollars more, which made me a little jealous… But it’s all his plays, so I don’t have any worries about the plays.

　　The homogeneity of goods is serious, and the quality is also criticized by consumers

　　The ten dollar store standing at the crossroads

　　"I love going to the ten-dollar store because I know I can afford everything in it," Xiaolin told reporters. But recently, she found that in the ten-dollar store she frequented, there were fewer and fewer real 10-yuan items, and earphones that used to cost only 15 yuan had risen to nearly 50 yuan.

　　In the past two years, grocery stores represented by "Mingchuang Premium Products" have blossomed everywhere. Some small goods such as headgear and tableware have been delicately packaged and placed in bright stores. Most of them sell for less than 10 yuan, which is very popular with consumers. However, recently, reporters visited a number of small commodity stores and found that the proportion of goods within 10 yuan has dropped significantly, and 100 yuan goods have gradually entered the room. Some products are not only seriously homogenized, but also criticized by consumers. Some stores also rely on "fake discounts" to attract consumers.

　　Experts say that today’s consumer demand is changing very fast, and the ten yuan store is also standing at a crossroads, and the goods are being upgraded and graded rapidly. In such a market, it is difficult for the ten yuan store to maintain the goods at a certain price for a long time. The operators of the ten yuan store also use 10 yuan goods to attract customers, and use higher-priced goods to profit.

　　Mingchuang Premium: less than one-third of the 10 yuan product

　　Last Tuesday evening, the reporter visited the Mingchuang Premium Store on the first floor of Yuedu Hui Shopping Mall in Xicheng District. The store has a wide range of kitchen and bathroom utensils, small household items, electronic products, and other products, and the sales prices are also uneven. Most small daily necessities are 10 yuan, the price of toys ranges from 25 yuan to 50 yuan, and the price of electronic products is basically more than 30 yuan.

　　Mr. Zhu picked out a power bank priced at 89.9 yuan and was ready to go to the checkout page to check out. When queuing up, he opened the mobile phone shopping software and found that it was also a 10,000 mAh power bank, and the price of the Xiaomi brand power bank was only 79 yuan. Mr. Zhu, who quit the checkout line, put the power bank back on the shelf. "Xiaomi specializes in mobile phones and accessories. The quality should be more reliable than Mingchuang Youpin, but the price is cheaper than here."

　　Among electronic products, there is a small aromatherapy humidifier of 99 yuan that is very attractive. The machine is in the shape of a vase, and the bottle mouth emits light smoke. The bottle is equipped with a light, and the light will change to different colors. Then the reporter searched on Taobao and found that the price of an air humidifier of the same specification is between 50 yuan and 100 yuan. Customer Xiaomei told reporters that this aromatherapy humidifier looks similar to a certain humidifier of Muji, but it is cheaper, so it has attracted many people’s attention. But after buying it back, he found that the amount of fog is very small. In less than a few months, not only the light is not on, but also the spray is not sprayed.

　　Since its establishment in 2013, Miniso has entered large and small shopping malls, many of which are in prime locations. Open the map and the reporter can find nine branches of Miniso within a five-kilometer radius. Recently, according to several media reports, Miniso is planning an initial public offering, raising about 1 billion US dollars. As the business expands rapidly, many consumers say that Miniso, which originally attracted people with "10 yuan high-quality life", is now more and more expensive. The product with the most concentrated complaints is the mobile phone data cable. Several customers said, "The Apple mobile phone data cable that used to be only 15 yuan has now risen to 49.9 yuan, or even more expensive." The reporter found in the store that, as consumers said, the data cable was priced at 49.9 yuan and 59.9 yuan. Subsequently, the reporter randomly selected 50 products in the Mingchuang Premium Store, only 17 of which were priced at 10 yuan or less. These low-priced products were concentrated in the categories of daily chemical products and small household accessories.

　　Nomi Home Furnishing: I see the discount label but not the price discount.

　　Zhang Xiaoyang (a pseudonym), who often visits Nomi Home Furnishings, has been a little confused recently: the store is clearly full of yellow labels with "50% off for two pieces and 40% off for three pieces", and the store’s radio is also broadcasting "End-of-season clearance, some products are discounted". Zhang Xiaoyang specially asked the clerk which discounts were on, and the clerk waved his hand and said that the ones with the yellow labels were all discounted. So Zhang Xiaoyang happily picked up the discounted labels on the shelf, and in order to collect the 40% off quantity, she specially picked three pieces. "Because I am very familiar with this store, I always feel that the price is wrong when I walk out of the store, because the cashier didn’t give me a receipt at the time, so I went back to ask for it. After seeing it, I realized that I didn’t give me a penny discount." The checkout page explained that the labels on the shelves were for the promotion of the store, and it did not mean that the items below the labels would be discounted. "I feel like I’m being cheated. If the store didn’t put discounted labels on it, I would definitely not buy so many pieces."

　　At noon on weekdays last week, the reporter visited Nomi Home Furnishing, which Zhang Xiaoyang described on Qianmen Street. The store is simple and large, and it sells mostly women’s and children’s products. When the reporter asked whether the labeled goods were all discounted, the clerk replied: "Not necessarily."

　　Most of the stationery, snacks, tableware and other items sold by Nomi Home Furnishing cost 10 yuan or less, while many other categories, such as aromatherapy machines, speakers, power banks, etc., cost around 100 yuan. Ms. Wu, who was shopping with a full shopping basket, told reporters that what attracted her to the store was that the prices of many small goods were relatively close to the people, and there would be discount activities. "But not all goods are discounted, and the prices of many goods are indeed not cheap. Sometimes when you have a good time shopping, you will buy some expensive goods." Ms. Wu dug out a 239 yuan dress in the shopping basket and told reporters.

　　In the ten yuan store, there are a lot of "hundred yuan goods"

　　With the improvement of citizens’ consumption level, more and more well-packaged small commodity stores have opened into the mall. From sewing boxes, screwdrivers, rubber bands to earphones, speakers, humidifiers, the price of goods can range from a few yuan to 100 yuan. When the reporter visited, he found that many goods in the "ten yuan store" that are really priced within 10 yuan are concentrated in stationery, tableware, snacks and other categories. And other types of goods in the store are not cheap.

　　Unlike the aforementioned small commodity stores, which attract people with low prices and discounts, in the Jiumu grocery store, which is also blooming in major shopping malls, many products are more than 100 yuan, and only a few products are around 10 yuan. However, the chic design of the products still makes customers here crowded. The reporter found that the same size canvas bag is priced at about 40 yuan in the aforementioned grocery stores. The highest price here can be sold for 99 yuan. The price of children’s toys is mostly around 150 yuan. The price of various small accessories is also around 30 yuan. The goods under 10 yuan in the store are concentrated in the category of stationery, which accounts for a very small proportion. A mother and daughter were attracted by a pile of metal brooches, but when they saw the price of 35 yuan, they immediately called it "too expensive". A group of young people picked up the dinosaur gloves on the shelf and played with each other for a while, then finally dropped the gloves and left.

　　Founded in 2015, Ximei Eslite’s store design is very similar to that of Mingchuang Youpin: a white door face and a store logo with white characters on a red background. Last Friday afternoon, the reporter visited Ximei Eslite, which is located on the first floor of Soxiu City, Chongwenmen Street. At this time, there were more than a dozen customers in the store, all of whom were young women. The reporter randomly selected 30 items in the store, 12 of which were 10 yuan or less.

　　The ** (The Green Party) located in Guorui Shopping Center is located between the famous brand counters in the mall. According to the rough statistics of the reporter, only about 30% of the 10 yuan goods in the store.

　　Expert Reviews

　　Consumer demand changes rapidly, and it is difficult for ten yuan stores to maintain average prices

　　Why are there not many "ten yuan goods" in the ten yuan store? Yang Qingsong, secretary general of the China General merchandise Business Association, told the Beijing Evening News that this is related to the consumer market. "In the period of very fast economic development, it is difficult for small commodity stores to maintain most goods at a certain price and remain unchanged for a year or two."

　　Yang Qingsong said that according to the law, average price stores can actually achieve relatively large development when the commodity economy is relatively stable. Because at such a stage, market consumption is very stable, the price, variety and quality of consumer goods are in a state of balance, and the profit of average price stores can be relatively flat. However, in the stage of rapid economic development and large changes, there is no market for average price stores. "The momentum of Mingchuang Youpin was very strong in the first two years, but now consumer demand changes very quickly, and commodities are constantly being upgraded. In such a market environment, it is difficult to have the soil of average price. In order to attract consumers, Mingchuang Premium and similar small commodity stores need to constantly adjust and upgrade, and make changes in categories, and prices will also show diversity. "

　　As for the number of "100-yuan goods" popping up in the 10-yuan store, Yang Qingsong said that the general retailer’s strategy will distinguish between goods with passenger flow and goods with gross profit. For some goods, consumers are very sensitive to its price, and retailers will make enough low prices to attract consumers. For other goods, consumers are relatively less sensitive to its price, and rarely pay attention to how much more expensive this one is than that one, so such goods can be profitable.

　　● Although smart TVs have increased the range of options for watching programs, there are many problems that have been criticized in the use process. From on-off advertisements to membership nesting doll-style charges, from inconvenient use, unfriendly to the elderly to after-sales services that cannot really solve the problem, a series of "routines" of smart TVs need to be improved urgently

　　● The situation of paid viewing of Internet Protocol Television is very common, and some consumers are also willing to pay for watching their favorite TV programs. However, on issues such as how many dramas members can watch and the cost of membership opening, merchants should make clear prompts before purchasing, so that consumers can choose the corresponding service according to their own needs when purchasing, otherwise it is suspected of infringing consumers’ right to know

　　In order to solve the problems in the use of smart TVs, we should play the role of the market, advocate businesses and advertising business entities to pursue profits while assuming social responsibility, actively carry out internal compliance management system construction, consciously reduce or even eliminate some unreasonable and illegal phenomenon　　

　　"Why is it so troublesome to watch TV!"

　　Zhang Bingcheng, who lives in Langfang, Hebei province, complained from the moment he turned on his son’s new year gift – an oversized LCD smart TV – during the lunar new year holiday.

　　"It’s mandatory to watch advertisements when you turn it on, and you can’t skip it. The various icons on the homepage make people don’t know how to operate. It’s hard to click on a TV series, and you have to open a membership to watch the whole episode. In addition to the members of the TV itself, there are also various App members. If you want to watch satellite TV programs, you have to buy a set-top box to open a digital channel. Why is it so laborious to watch TV on a TV?"

　　In recent years, from cable to digital to the Internet, TV technology has developed rapidly. Today’s smart TVs have greatly increased the range of options for watching programs after being connected to the Internet. However, a recent investigation by a reporter from the "Rule of Law Daily" found that there are many problems that have been criticized in the use of smart TVs. From on-off advertisements to membership nesting fees, from inconvenient use, unfriendly to the elderly to after-sales services that cannot really solve the problem, a series of "routines" of smart TVs need to be improved urgently.

　　Boot and cut screen advertisements continue

　　If you want to watch the show, the matryoshka will be charged.

　　"Every time you turn on the TV, you have to watch an advertisement, and when you turn it off, you have to watch it again. Sometimes you have to watch an advertisement for a program on demand. I originally wanted to watch TV, but I was’hit head-on ‘by a long commercial advertisement." Ding Lei, of Wuxi, Jiangsu, told reporters that his smart TV would have a 30-second boot advertisement every time it was turned on, and every time he switched channels, similar advertisements such as "Watching TV members, limited time × × yuan a year" would automatically pop up, which made him very disgusted.

　　According to the "2021 Smart TV Switch Advertising Research Report" released by People’s Daily Online Finance and Economics Research Institute, more than 89.9% of respondents said that the smart TV in their homes contains switch-on advertisements, 86.09% of manufacturers do not set a "one-click cancel or close button" for switch-on advertisements, and 72.73% of respondents said "can’t bear it for a second".

　　It is worth noting that in 2020, the China Electronic Video Industry Association established the group standard "Smart TV Boot Advertising Service Specifications", which stipulates that "the total duration of boot advertising should not exceed 30 seconds, and the recommended advertising duration of this specification should be within 15 seconds." The Advertising Law stipulates that the use of the Internet to publish and send advertisements shall not affect users’ normal use of the Internet. Advertisements published in the form of pop-ups on Internet pages should be clearly marked with a shutdown sign to ensure one-click shutdown.

　　Although there are regulations for a long time, the reporter found in the investigation that smart TV advertising violations are still very common. Many smart TV advertisements are not only longer than 30 seconds, but also do not provide a shutdown sign in a prominent position, or even skip or close signs at all.

　　In addition to the advertising issue, many respondents said that the charging rules of smart TVs are a headache, "after spending money to buy a TV, you have to pay for it layer by layer".

　　Liang Jing, from Suzhou, Anhui Province, said in an interview that she now regrets buying a smart TV.

　　"At that time, the promotion was 4K ultra-high definition image quality and high fidelity sound system. Owning it was equivalent to having a home theater, and only when you bought it did you find that you need a member to watch almost everything." In the opening member interface displayed by Liang Jing, the reporter saw that the membership package that comes with the smart TV is 288 yuan per year, while the package season costs 148 yuan. The TV membership does not include other column members. If you want to watch the children’s channel, you need to open a children’s channel membership, which is 9.9 yuan for the first month of a continuous monthly subscription. The learning channel needs to open an annual card of 298 yuan. Variety, education, sports, and major program types want to watch.

　　The reporter calculated and found that if all the members of the smart TV itself are opened, the annual cost will exceed 1,000 yuan. In addition, if you want to watch programs on the TV through the online video platform, many content must be opened as a member of the online video platform to watch normally, and the member can only use it on the TV side, and it is not interoperable with the mobile phone side. For example, a platform gold member can use it on the three major platforms of mobile phones, tablets and computers. The annual card is 258 yuan, while the diamond member only has one more TV side. The annual card is 448 yuan, which is nearly double the price.

　　"Just like matryoshka dolls, there are small members in the big members, and there are special members when you buy small members. The rules for setting fees are to guide you to choose consecutive monthly subscriptions or direct annual subscriptions, otherwise it is not cost-effective. What’s more annoying is that once I opened a children’s channel for my child for one month, the operator automatically renewed the fee for the next month, and did not remind me in advance." Liang Jing complained.

　　On February 1, the reporter went to Binjiang Road Commercial Street, Heping District, Tianjin and consulted the sales staff of a number of smart TV stores as a consumer. The reporter noticed that the sales staff rarely mentioned the above topics if they did not take the initiative to ask whether there are boot advertisements, whether they need to open a membership to watch the program normally, and whether they charge and what the charging standard is.

　　Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of the Consumer Rights Protection Law Research Association of the China Law Society, believes that the current situation of paid viewing of smart TVs and Internet Protocol Television is very common, and some consumers are also willing to pay for watching their favorite TV programs. However, on issues such as how many dramas members can watch and the cost of membership opening, merchants should make clear prompts before purchasing, so that consumers can choose the corresponding service according to their own needs when purchasing, otherwise it is suspected of infringing consumers’ right to know. At the same time, various impractical programs that require members’ settings and payment settings with obvious "calculation" behavior may be suspected of forced consumption.

　　Many options are cumbersome to operate

　　Very unfriendly to the elderly

　　Returning to his hometown for the Chinese New Year this year, Wang Xu from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, found that he couldn’t use his grandfather’s TV anymore.

　　"There are only three remote controls, one for Internet Protocol Television, one for cable TV, and one for a cable TV set-top box. I tried to switch from Internet Protocol Television to cable TV for a long time without success. Watching TV itself is for leisure, how did it become so troublesome to operate?" Wang Xu lamented.

　　Wang Xu said that unlike the previous cable TV, which can be watched when turned on, smart TVs and Internet Protocol Television operate like mobile phones. There are various options on the screen, and if you want to watch CCTV Satellite TV, you need to switch the receiving channel. "Now although there are more programs that can be watched after the TV is connected to the Internet, the’threshold ‘for watching TV is getting higher and higher. If you want to turn on the TV to watch the channel you want, it is like crossing a barrier. You have to click on countless options."

　　After interviewing many people in Beijing, Tianjin, Anhui, Jiangsu and other places, the reporter found that the vast majority of people who watch TV every day are the elderly, and for the middle-aged and elderly groups, the operation of smart TVs is obviously too complicated. Wang Xu’s grandfather calls his grandson for help every time he turns on the TV, while the neighbors are the children at home who adjust the TV to their parents every morning before going to work.

　　There are still many inconveniences. During the investigation, the reporter found that Internet Protocol Television has problems such as picture cards, picture deformation, and equipment use. Li Ping from Xinxiang, Henan told the reporter that if you open cable TV members to watch CCTV satellite TV directly through Internet Protocol Television, it will occupy home broadband, and sometimes there will be card phenomena when watching programs.

　　When consumers report to the customer service, some customer service staff do not ask or really solve the problem. The cable TV set-top box of Beijing citizen Li Fei’s smart TV is faulty. To switch channels, you must place the remote control within one or two meters of the set-top box and press it to respond. Changing the set-top box did not solve the problem. The maintenance staff said it was the problem of the system itself. The two sides communicated and pulled for several days, and the maintenance staff refused to repair it.

　　Multi-party collaborative comprehensive governance

　　Improve user TV viewing

　　The reporter retrieved relevant information and found that the problems existing in smart TV and Internet Protocol Television, especially the advertising chaos, have existed since the popularity of digital TV, and have been attracting attention for many years. Why haven’t these problems been effectively solved?

　　Du Leqi, chairperson of the Economic Law Research Association of Jiangsu Law Society and associate professor of Jiangsu University Law School, believes that this is the result of a combination of factors.

　　He introduced that the first is the mismatch between advertising laws and regulations and new types of advertising. With the rapid development of the Internet and digital economy, the advertising industry has also developed rapidly. Today’s advertising methods are more diverse, spread more widely, carry more content, and change more rapidly, which has exacerbated the proliferation of advertising. The embedding of digital or online platforms not only enriches the forms of advertising, but also enhances the concealment of advertising, making it more difficult to use relevant laws and regulations to identify advertisements. Second, there are deficiencies in government regulatory policies and efforts. In the process of law enforcement, government regulators have failed to truly crack down and strengthen supervision. In addition, the technical level of regulatory departments cannot match the market development momentum, and cannot prevent or detect problems in a timely manner.

　　"There is a lack of supervision in advertising industry organizations, social supervision organizations and individual consumers. The self-discipline review mechanism of the advertising industry in our country has not been able to form a complete and multi-level self-discipline system. There is no full-time self-discipline organization in our country, and the self-discipline function of member associations has not yet been perfected. The realization of advertising self-discipline function is mainly undertaken by advertising operators and advertising publishers, but driven by interests, it is difficult for individual enterprises as advertising operators and advertising publishers to be fair and law-abiding. Consumers play a small role in the specific supervision process due to lack of sufficient incentives and weak ability." Du Leqi said.

　　Experts interviewed by reporters believe that to solve the problems of smart TV, Internet Protocol Television advertising, high fees, and cumbersome operations, multi-party collaborative governance is required.

　　In the view of Zhu Xiaojuan, associate professor of China University of Political Science and Law, director and deputy secretary-general of the Commercial Law Research Association of the China Law Society, we should give play to the role of the market, advocate businesses and advertising business entities to pursue profits while assuming social responsibility, actively carry out internal compliance governance system construction, and consciously reduce or even eliminate some unreasonable and illegal phenomena. The Interim Measures for the Management of Internet Advertising and other relevant laws and regulations need to strengthen the targeted adjustment of illegal acts.

　　"In terms of legal responsibility, administrative responsibility is the main one and the amount of punishment is too low to play a deterrent role. The amount of fines should be increased. At the same time, it is appropriate to increase the provisions of civil liability to give full play to the role of legal responsibility. In addition, the lack of administrative management system based on geographical jurisdiction and pre-event supervision power, coupled with the use of technology, affect the effectiveness of administrative supervision. Information sharing and administrative cooperation mechanisms should be established to save the cost of transferring jurisdiction. We should also strengthen pre-trial spot checks and supervision to force relevant entities to standardize behavior. At the same time, we should strengthen the application of technology to actively detect advertising violations and investigate and deal with them in a timely manner. We should also give play to the self-discipline and leading role of industry associations, urge industry associations to formulate industry norms, strengthen industry self-discipline, and promote the healthy development of the industry." Zhu Xiaojuan

　　In the opinion of Tang Wei, a lawyer at Beijing Yinghe Law Firm, for the elderly, the complex membership system is not conducive to their understanding, and smart TV merchants should clearly prompt and guide. For example, issues such as mobile phones, tablets and TVs cannot be used universally are often prone to disputes, and they should clearly indicate the scope and channels of viewing after purchasing such members when charging to avoid disputes.

　　With the consensus that "most TVs are now watched by the elderly", many respondents hope to make smart TVs and Internet Protocol Television senior-friendly. Some people suggest that some positive TV dramas suitable for the elderly should be watched for free. Others believe that radio and television, the three major operators can make their IPTV set-top boxes into TV applications like other apps, and put them in the TV application mall. Users who need them can directly download and install them, which can "control" everything with one remote control like before.

　　Zheng Ning, director of the Law Department of the School of Cultural Industry Management, Communication University of China, believes that with the arrival of the aging society, there are more and more elderly audiences, and it is necessary to carry out the senior-friendly transformation of smart TVs, which is not only the need to implement the elderly rights protection law, but also can reduce the digital divide.

　　"Operators can consider broadcasting some movies and TV dramas that contribute to the construction of a good family style and a clean culture, and the government can also use subsidies, grants, tax exemptions and other means to encourage the broadcast of such films, so as to spread the core socialist values," Zheng Ning said.

　　IMAX Corporation and IMAX China Holding Inc. and Wanda Film’s joint stock company today announced the signing of the largest IMAX-ever agreement to build 150 new IMAX cinemas in 002739.SZ. Under the agreement, the cinemas will be built and distributed across China over a six-year period starting next year, with 110 to be installed by the end of 2020.

　　The deal builds on a long-standing partnership dating back to 2007, when Wanda Cinemas, the cinema arm of Dalian Wanda Group, opened its first IMAX cinema in Dongguan. As Asia’s largest cinema chain, Wanda Cinemas currently operates more than 160 IMAX theaters.

　　Today’s agreement is expected to increase the number of Wanda’s IMAX cinemas by more than 70 per cent to 360, with the majority set to open over the next three years and all signed cinemas scheduled to open by 2022. The agreement will increase the number of cinemas under contract in IMAX China by nearly 60 per cent. The agreement is on top of a contract signed by the two companies in 2013, under which Wanda will build 120 new IMAX cinemas by 2020. Wanda now expects the projects under the previous agreement to be installed by the end of 2016, four years earlier than originally expected. Nearly half of the new IMAX cinemas in Wanda’s cinema chain will be equipped with IMAX’s latest laser projection technology from the end of 2018. The main provisions of the new agreement are highly similar to those of the 2013 agreement.

　　Richard Gelfond, chief executive of IMAX, said: "This is a landmark development in the history of IMAX and a key point in our business growth strategy. In particular, based on our long-term observation, contracted theaters translate directly into theater installations, resulting in higher box office and ultimately increased company revenue. This agreement not only strengthens our leadership position in China, the world’s fastest growing film market, but also reinforces IMAX’s partnership with one of its most important business partners, Wanda Cinemas, and speaks volumes about the value Wanda brings to the IMAX business. Wanda’s significant commitment in the agreement fully demonstrates that our decade-long partnership has far exceeded the original single-theater sales agreement. Wanda and IMAX are now operating under a more sustainable revenue sharing model, providing new opportunities for the release and box office distribution of key Chinese-language films.

　　Since 2013, IMAX and Wanda have collaborated on a number of high-profile Chinese-language films, including "Tai Chi Man," "Get Out! Mr. Tumor" and "Finding the Dragon," which set a box office record for an IMAX Chinese-language film released last year.

　　"The strategic importance of our partnership with IMAX cannot be overemphasized," said Zeng Maojun, president of Wanda Cinemas. "This partnership has been critical to the rapid growth of Wanda’s cinema business and our record of being the leader in the Chinese box office market for seven consecutive years. And our business model will create differentiated film experiences. Combining Wanda’s first-class cinema environment with IMAX’s advanced film technology, we are able to provide the most immersive and powerful film entertainment experience anywhere in China. We look forward to working with IMAX in this successful model to accelerate the rapid expansion of China’s film industry in the coming years, bringing more blockbusters to Chinese audiences.

　　Mr. Zeng singled out the partnership between IMAX and Wanda for playing an important role in the June release of Hollywood blockbuster Warcraft, which was produced and distributed by Wanda Group’s legendary film studio and quickly broke box office records as well as sparking a cultural boom. Warcraft broke IMAX China’s first-day box office record with 35 million yuan ($5.30 million) after its release, and also set IMAX’s zero-point show and pre-sale records in China.

　　With today’s deal, IMAX has signed 284 theaters so far this year, including 229 in China, surpassing IMAX’s previous global record of 277 theaters in a year. The Chinese market accounts for about one-third of IMAX’s global box office revenue.

　　As of June 30, 2016, IMAX had 335 theaters in China, up from 250 in the same period in 2015. Despite the significant growth of the theater network and its presence in more than 100 different cities in China, IMAX’s single-screen average box office has remained steadily between $120 and $1.30 million over the past four years.

　　Earlier this year, IMAX announced four Chinese-language blockbuster summer collaborations, including Wanda Cinemas’ "Kuaishou Gunslinger," Anle Pictures’ "Chow Yun-fa’s" Chills 2, "kung fu superstar Jackie Chan’s fourth IMAX film," Jedi Escape, "and the 3D adventure blockbuster" Tomb Robbing Notes, "directed by Li Rengang and directed by LeTV Pictures and Shanghai Film Group. IMAX also plans to collaborate with" The Great Wall, "starring Matt Damon and directed by Zhang Yimou. In addition, the company is also exploring other potential collaborations, including" Journey to the West 2. "

　　"China is a rapidly growing market and Chinese moviegoers are increasingly demanding film technology and cinematic experience," said Zhang Yimou. "As a filmmaker, I want to do my best to provide the best experience for my fans and look forward to presenting my new work’The Great Wall ‘in IMAX format on IMAX’s growing cinema network."

　　IMAX plans to increase the number of Chinese-language film collaborations in China, with 8-10 Chinese-language films expected to be screened in 2016, including "Three Dozens of White Bones" and "Kung Fu Panda 3" released earlier this year. IMAX’s list of Hollywood blockbusters in China this year also includes "Bourne 5", "Star Trek 3: Beyond the Stars", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Doctor Strange". In addition, IMAX China and the Chinese Cultural Industry Fund announced the establishment of a film production fund to jointly invest in 15 Chinese-language films over the next three years.

　　In addition to Wanda Cinemas, Wanda Group also owns the AMC Cinema Line, which is IMAX’s first commercial cinema partner in North America and the largest IMAX cinema chain in the world. AMC is also currently the largest IMAX cinema chain in North America, with 185 existing and committed IMAX theaters.

　　"When I left Meizu for a while, I saw some products, especially when I saw other people holding these products, and I was deeply hesitant. I vowed to change," Huang Zhang, who returned to Meizu, told Yang Zhe, Meizu’s senior vice president. "If a product does not have Buddha nature, I will never allow it to appear."

　　"Change" is the key word for Huang Zhang’s return in 2014 and 2017. The difference is that Meizu in 2014 faced a change from small and beautiful to popular, while Meizu now encounters a change from too popular to return to its original intention.

　　After Meizu announced the strategy of introducing capital and expanding its product line in 2014, it quickly increased the sales volume from 4.40 million units to 20 million units in 2015, but the crazy expansion also brought the side effect of huge losses of over 1 billion yuan. In 2016, Meizu launched 14 consecutive products, but the annual sales increased by only 2 million units year-on-year.

　　In February 2017, Huang Zhang, who was regarded as the soul of Meizu, came out again, and his prescription was to create a dream machine: Meizu 15/15 Plus.

　　The "only one" brand concept put forward by Meizu recently is similar to the original beauty of wabi-****, and it is still the usual Buddha-like yellow seal style. However, the yellow chapter who came out of the mountain for the second time is no longer the pure paranoid product maniac. The dual-brand strategy of Meizu and Meizu not only gives itself the opportunity to try high-end and return to its original intention, but also leaves a basic sales trump card as a way back.

　　Meizu ushered in the 15th anniversary of its establishment this year, and Huang Zhang’s dream machine will also be officially unveiled in the spring. Can Meizu usher in a new life under the leadership of Huang Zhang in 2018?

　　Crisis resurfaces

　　Similar to 2014, when Huang Zhang announced his return in 2017, Meizu was facing an existential crisis.

　　In 2014, Xiaomi, which was established only 4 years ago, topped the Chinese smartphone market with 61.12 million sales in the Internet mobile phone model. Also in this year, Xiaomi completed a new round of financing of 1.10 billion US dollars, with a valuation of 45 billion US dollars.

　　At that time, Meizu, which had been established for more than 10 years, was still a family-owned enterprise, and the sales of smartphones remained at the level of millions for many years. At the same time, under the fierce external competition, Meizu also experienced crises such as the exodus of executives and the turnover of employees.

　　In February 2014, after Bai Yongxiang, Li Nan, Yang Yan and other executives showdown the crisis facing Meizu, Huang Zhang, who had always believed that he could solve everything by doing a good job in products, finally "realized it". In his internal speech on the day of return, he declared that he would lead Meizu to create an era of more rapid development. "We will make appropriate financing, the main purpose is to implement the employee stock option system, followed by allowing the marketing department to have more resources to increase marketing activities, and to introduce more talents."

　　However, shortly after his return, Huang Zhang once again faded out of day-to-day management, and the change plan he set out empowered executives to implement it.

　　In the following July 2014, February 2015 and October 2016, Meizu conducted multiple rounds of financing, including Alibaba, Tianyin Holdings, etc. In terms of product rhythm, Meizu also changed the style of a mobile phone in the previous year. In 2014, it released 7 products and established a new Meizu sub-brand. The overall sales volume reached 4.40 million units that year; in 2015, it released 6 products and launched a PRO series targeting high-end people. Sales jumped to more than 20 million units that year, an increase of 350% year-on-year.

　　However, in 2014 and 2015 consecutive aggressive expansion strategy also brought the sequelae, 2015 Meizu net loss of more than 1 billion yuan, the company’s total debt of nearly 8.90 billion yuan, total net assets – 1.60 billion yuan; 2016 Meizu released 14 consecutive products, but the annual sales only increased 2 million to 22 million units, did not complete the target of 25 million units, while the first half of the net loss of 300 million yuan, the company’s total debt nearly 2.70 billion.

　　In early 2016, Huang Zhang made a rare appearance at Meizu’s annual meeting and put forward the goal of "stabilizing growth, generating profits, and advancing to the IPO". Meizu then launched a 5% layoff plan. These measures also began to bear fruit, and Meizu achieved a turnaround in 2016.

　　In February 2017, in the context of the Meizu crisis still not fully reversed and the 15th anniversary of its establishment in 2018, Huang Zhang announced on Weibo that he would re-emerge from the mountain to create the dream machine in his heart – Meizu 15/15 Plus.

　　Reinventing Meizu

　　Unlike the return in 2014, Huang Zhang no longer became a hands-off shopkeeper after setting a grand strategy, but personally reformed Meizu in terms of organizational structure, products, and channels.

　　One month after the handover, Meizu increased the number of layoffs from 5% to 10%.

　　Three months after the return, Meizu underwent a major organizational restructuring. Huang Zhang served as the chairperson and CEO of Meizu and established three new business divisions – Meizu Business Division, Meizu Business Division, and Flyme Business Division. The intention of this adjustment is obvious. Huang Zhang personally manages the Meizu business division, and soon poached Yang Zhe, who has successfully built Huawei’s high-end brand perception, as senior vice president and general staff, responsible for the marketing of the Meizu brand, intending to make the Meizu brand in the high-end product line. The Meizu brand is in charge of Li Nan. Li Nan quoted Huang Zhang in an interview with the media as saying that Meizu is his own dream, but Meizu also has to bear a quantity requirement.

　　In December 2017, Huang Zhang adjusted Meizu’s structure again, establishing a new overseas business department, an e-commerce business department, and an accessories business department. He promoted CFO Qi Weimin to senior vice president of the company, on an equal footing with President Bai Yongxiang, with the intention of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure to ensure profits. At the same time, he further expanded overseas markets and expanded sales.

　　In terms of channels, Bai Yongxiang previously revealed in an interview with Sina Technology that one of Huang Zhang’s big decisions after returning to the company’s daily work in 2017 was that Meizu would gradually establish a national provincial model. "For the Meizu brand, in order to better display our products, better serve users, and better provide various environments, we will create a relatively closed offline sales system under the framework of provincial generation."

　　Li Nan also told Sina Technology that although the two brands Meizu and Meizu need to be cut in the long run, they still need to cooperate with each other in products and channels in the short term. He revealed that in terms of products, Huang Zhang will personally control the product definition and design of Meizu and Meizu, and the products of the two brands will have a certain distinction. In terms of channels, Meizu will upgrade the existing channels of more than 2,000 specialty stores together with Meizu and accessories departments.

　　At the same time, not only is the Meizu brand going high-end, but the Meizu brand will also increase its price.

　　At the Meizu brand communication meeting on January 15, Huang Zhang’s personal belief rose to corporate belief. Yang Zhe officially announced the Meizu brand concept after Huang Zhang’s decision: the only one is to return to the original intention and let Meizu return to Meizu. Yang Zhe said that the Meizu brand is more focused on the high-end market, facing business, government and enterprise, high-end and elite people, to create a different brand perception. He also revealed that Huang Zhang’s dream machine will be officially released this spring.

　　As for the Meilan brand, Li Nan told Sina Technology that under Huang Zhang’s personal control, Meilan’s products will be more aggressive next year. Meilan’s highest matching hopes to hit 2,499 yuan in the future, "but how high it should be has not yet been determined, and it is currently being discussed with Huang Zhang."

　　Can it be reborn?

　　Nearly a year after Huang Zhang’s return, the adjustment to Meizu has begun to bear fruit. However, Meizu’s 2017 under Huang Zhang’s leadership was not entirely smooth, such as the annual flagship Pro7 suffered a sales storm and the trend that Meizu Meizu missed the full screen.

　　The Meizu PRO7 was released five months after Huang Zhang’s return. Its main feature was the use of a dual-screen design. In terms of processors, although Meizu had reached a settlement with Qualcomm as early as the end of 2016, the product was equipped with MediaTek’s Xili P25 and Xili X30 processors, priced at 2880 yuan and 3580 yuan at the same time.

　　In the craze of full-screen popularity in 2017, Meizu was one of the few mainstream manufacturers that did not follow up. Although the design of the picture screen is also very innovative, the market space of PRO7 is extremely limited in the context of Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, Huawei and other mainstream manufacturers launching full-screen flagships. At the same time, MediaTek processors have also attracted doubts, and Li Nan has to admit that in flagship products or high-priced products, MediaTek’s reputation has indeed encountered huge challenges. As of now, the official price of the Meizu PRO7 standard version has dropped to 1999 yuan, a decrease of nearly 1,000 yuan.

　　For Huang Zhang’s dream machine Meizu 15/15 Plus this year, Yang Zhe revealed at the recent Meizu brand communication meeting that every detail of this product is controlled by Huang Zhang from start to finish, and 90% of the parts are customized. For example, in order to look comfortable, the screen size is customized. "In today’s situation where the screen is in short supply, customization is required, and there is no semicolon. In the age of industrialization, customizing a product, if it sells well, it will sell well. If it doesn’t sell well, it will be smashed in the hand."

　　Although Yang Zhe and Li Nan both expressed confidence in Huang Zhang’s personal products, in the current environment of such rapid changes and intense competition in the smartphone industry, it is undoubtedly risky to place all your hopes on a certain person or product.

　　In addition, Meizu in 2018 will also usher in a key node for its IPO.

　　In August 2014, Bai Yongxiang revealed in an interview with Sina Technology that Meizu has developed a plan to list within 5 years. In August 2017, Meizu entered the list of listed reserve enterprises in Zhuhai High-tech Zone, and planned to be listed on the growth enterprises market.

　　The growth enterprises market sets two quantitative performance indicators for the issuer to choose: the first indicator requires the issuer to make continuous profits in the last two years, and the net profit accumulated in the last two years is not less than 10 million yuan, and continues to grow; the second indicator requires the last year of profit, and the net profit is not less than 5 million yuan, the last year of operating income is not less than 50 million yuan, and the growth rate of operating income in the last two years is not less than 30%.

　　Meizu achieved a turnaround in 2016, but did not announce the specific profit scale; in 2017, sales exceeded 20 billion, an increase from last year, and the official said it maintained a stable profit, but did not announce specific profits.

　　Meizu also said that it will achieve double-digit growth rate in 2018, which is still under certain pressure in the context of the overall decline of China’s smartphone market and more intense competition. The effect of the two structural adjustments led by Huang Zhang in 2017 in terms of increasing revenue and cutting costs, entering the high-end and expanding overseas markets remains to be seen.

After a short slump, Cyrus finally has its own highlight moment again. The smart factory in Liangjiang New District is the main production base of Cyrus Automobile, and now it is fully loaded 22 hours a day.

This is due to the popularity of new models. AITO’s new M7 has exceeded 90,000, and even the unlisted M9 orders have exceeded 30,000.

Sailis Automobile is a leading enterprise in the automotive industry in Chongqing and Liangjiang New Area. In 2021, Sailis Automobile and Huawei jointly designed the "Smart Choice Vehicle" model, creating a precedent for cross-border cooperation between new energy automobile enterprises and ICT technology enterprises. It also opened up a new path for the booming Chinese new energy automobile industry.

Relying on this, Cyrus Automobile is playing an increasingly important role in building a world-class intelligent and connected new energy vehicle industry cluster in Chongqing. "In the past year, Cyrus Automobile has achieved a breakthrough in the new energy vehicle business from 0 to 1. In the future, we strive to achieve accelerated development from 1 to N." said Zhang Xinghai, chairperson (founder) of Cyrus Automobile.

"Back from the Dead."

From the second half of 2022 to the first half of this year, Cyrus suffered a serious sales decline, and the ensuing market doubts were also frequent.

In the face of difficulties, Zhang Xinghai chose to rise to the challenge – on the one hand, Sailis Automobile and Huawei formed a closer cooperation, and jointly established the "AITO Inquiry and Sales Service Joint Working Group", responsible for the end-to-end closed-loop management of marketing, sales, delivery, service and other businesses. On September 22, Sailis CARE Care Service Strategy was officially released, opening the era of Smart Service 3.0, and will be committed to building a full-link smart service system that runs through pre-sales, delivery and after-sales.

On the other hand, it is also more important. By continuously enriching the product matrix, Zhang Xinghai hopes to rebuild the confidence of the outside world in the increasingly fierce market competition.

On September 12, AITO asked the new M7 was listed, and in the following 64 days created a record of 90,000 vehicles in Dading. According to Zhang Xinghai, in December this year, asked the M9 will also be listed.

In order to ensure delivery, Sailis Automotive Smart Factory is making every effort to accelerate production capacity improvement. The entire supply chain has added 1 billion yuan and 20,000 more manpower. At present, AITO’s new M7 is being produced in batches, efficiently and steadily, and delivery has also been opened in many cities across the country.

Under a series of measures, the sales of Cyrus cars have finally turned around: in October 2023, the AITO series delivered 12,700 new cars, including 10,547 new cars for the new M7, and the monthly delivery of a single model exceeded 10,000, setting a record high.

This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, CEO of End Point BG, and chairperson of Smart Car Solutions BU, even wrote a late-night post: "It’s not easy to come back to life!"

Zhang Xinghai said, "In the past year, Cyrus Automobile has achieved a breakthrough in the new energy vehicle business from 0 to 1. In the future, we strive to achieve accelerated development from 1 to N."

Three principles define the development code

In 1986, Zhang Xinghai founded Chongqing Baxian Phoenix Electric Spring Factory and began to cut into the field of automotive parts such as automobile shock absorbers. Since then, he has been deeply involved in the automotive industry for 37 years.

"From independent entrepreneurship to joint venture vehicle manufacturing, and then to cross-border business cooperation, we have always focused on physical manufacturing companies, constantly seeking survival, change, and upgrading." Zhang Xinghai said.

In the process, he summed up the "three insistences" – "adhere to innovation-driven, adhere to long-term, adhere to commercial success", and use them as the development principles of Cyrus Automotive.

More specifically, "adhering to innovation-driven" means to provide users with the ultimate product experience through technological innovation, product innovation and business model innovation, so as to promote the development of enterprises; "adhering to long-term doctrine" means to always focus on the physical manufacturing industry, with the blessing of core technologies, to further promote the quality-focused strategy, to provide users with the ultimate service throughout the life cycle of the car; "adhering to business success" means to first enable users to succeed, serve users wholeheartedly, and meet users’ yearning for a better car life. At the same time, actively build an all-connected car ecosystem, form a closed-loop business, drive the success of all ecological parties, and share the fruits of development.

The cooperation with Huawei reflects these three principles. The smart selection model jointly created by both parties has also brought a new idea to the development of China’s new energy automobile industry.

In 2021, Sailis and Huawei jointly launched an intelligent range extension/pure electric platform based on DriveONE, and in April of the same year, the two parties signed a new energy vehicle cooperation agreement. Under the smart selection mode, Huawei will deeply participate in product definition, styling design, marketing, user experience and other links, and work with car companies to build complete vehicles.

In Zhang Xinghai’s opinion, Sailis Automobile is Huawei’s most stable, most reliable and deepest partner, responsible for the research and development of new cars, intelligent manufacturing, service and creating a pleasant car experience throughout the life cycle; Huawei is an important integrator of software products in the Sailis automotive industry chain, empowered by core software and hardware technologies such as electrification and intelligent parts, and the advantages of both parties are complementary and win-win.

This in-depth cooperation has also given Cyrus more confidence to face competition head-on. At present, with the strong support of national policies, Chinese auto brands are achieving industrial lane change and overtaking through new energy transformation. However, the global new energy vehicle market landscape is far from certain. Some multinational car companies have awakened and begun to transform, and the competition in the global new energy vehicle market is becoming more intense.

"The new energy vehicle track is a marathon, with heavy assets and long-term investment. Finally, it must be a competition of technological innovation system and intelligent landing." Zhang Xinghai said.

It is worth mentioning that Sailis Automobile has invested more than 20 billion yuan in the field of new energy vehicles, of which the AITO project has invested more than 12 billion yuan. In June this year, AITO’s 100,000 car was officially rolled off the production line in Liangjiang New Area, becoming the fastest new energy vehicle brand to achieve this result.

He said that in the next step, Cyrus Automobile will continue to strengthen cooperation with important integrators of software-related products in the industrial chain, such as Huawei, and continue to deepen "software-defined vehicles" to help build an automotive powerhouse.

　　"Your AI data manager, help you do business together!" Recently, the Ele.me retail merchant SAAS platform "Aoxiang" officially released the "AI business assistant" function for merchants in the retail industry. Through this new business tool, merchants can intelligently generate various business key reports and key data, further enhance business capabilities and seize business opportunities.

　　This business management tool driven by artificial intelligence technology integrates advanced natural language processing, intelligent decision support and deep learning capabilities, which can provide businesses with a full range of business services including weekly report push, index change attribution, competition for business alignment, and market trend selection.

　　AI technology solves business pain points

　　"Hello, I am your AI business assistant, welcome to our platform. I will provide you with weekly report analysis, intelligent interpretation and market opportunity suggestions to make your business decisions more informed." On Monday morning, Mr. Xu, the retailer of Ele.me warehouse store, opened the new version of the Aoxiang APP and found that a new business tool was launched in the upper right corner. After clicking the "View Business Weekly Report" button, the business status of his store in the past week was clear at a glance.

　　The reporter found that the intelligent weekly report generated by the "AI business assistant" not only includes core indicators such as the valid order amount of the store, the number of valid orders, and the estimated gross profit of the store, but also includes intelligent interpretation and overall business suggestions provided by artificial intelligence based on the business operation. For example, through the operation change indicators, the "AI business assistant" will judge which indicators may be abnormal according to the historical data of the merchant. The merchant can see the data fluctuations about the net sales volume of the store, the number of goods on the shelves, the original price of the delivery fee, and the platform bears the delivery fee. Further check the reasons for the fluctuation of the data, and adjust the business strategy accordingly.

　　In addition to its own business diagnosis, the "AI business assistant" can also help merchants further analyze the surrounding business opportunities in the business district where the store is located, as well as the overall market opportunities.

　　According to the introduction, through the "AI operation assistant", merchants can query the corresponding business district according to the specific store, find the surrounding TOP stores, and compare the monthly sales of goods in the shelf rate, out-of-stock return rate, product low price rate, performance timely rate, and manual reply timely rate. These analyses can provide store managers with operational optimization suggestions and the fastest way to grow orders.

　　In addition, the "AI management assistant" can also mine the most promising products in the business circle where the store is located, and provide merchants with product opportunity analysis and product selection suggestions. At the same time, the AI will also provide operators with corresponding sales strategies based on the data.

　　The first batch of application merchants: AI is really fragrant

　　The reporter learned that, as an all-channel service SAAS platform for Ele.me retail merchants, Aoxiang has been the first in the industry to launch AI business tools after researching operators of different sizes, different industries, and different entry times. On the basis of the large model, the "AI business assistant" can disassemble the key data of store operations, and combine natural language to provide merchants with logical and clear data indicators and easy-to-understand business suggestions in a conversational mode.

　　The first batch of merchants to use "AI business assistants" also expressed "AI really fragrant" in the face of convenient new functions.

　　"The weekly report is really practical, and there is no need to summarize the data one by one for the weekly store review." Welcome Supermarket operates dozens of stores, and the person in charge of its operation said that the "AI management assistant" can quickly locate the problem through the index change, directly saving itself the time to locate the store problem. In addition, the indicators of the surrounding competition analysis are also selected accurately, which is the core focus of its daily operation.

　　Beiku Convenience said that although the number of stores it operates is not large, it feels that "weekly reports and data changes are very helpful" after using the AI business assistant, which allows merchants to quickly extract effective indicators from complex indicators and summarize them. The presentation of data and suggestions is also very intuitive.

　　"In the process of daily serving retail merchants, especially small and medium-sized merchants, we feel that merchants have obvious pain points in starting their business, obtaining industry data and analyzing business reports. Now through artificial intelligence data acquisition and analysis, merchants can effectively solve these pain points." Wang Xiaojie, head of Ele.me "AI business assistant", said that this new function is currently open to all Aoxiang merchants. Merchants can use the latest version of the Aoxiang APP. In the future, "AI business assistant" will also be gradually opened to all merchants in the retail industry in the form of tools to help merchants see their own business data.
