Get famous as soon as possible! Before Huawei, Samsung released a folding screen mobile phone, which is expensive to cry

Every editor, Wang Jiaqi    

In the field of science and technology, whoever can grab the first place will get more eyeballs, has the voice over, and even more money…

Now that the entire smartphone industry has entered the cold winter, it is time to start a new era. From the current trend, folding screen mobile phones are the next era.

From the quarrel between Xiaomi and Rouyu Technology in January this year to Samsung’s "rush" to Huawei in February, folding screens have become a battleground for mobile phone manufacturers.

However, who can actually fold depends on the product.

Today (February 21), Samsung’s folding screen phone Galaxy Fold was unveiled, summing it up: stunning design, expensive to cry.

At 3 am Beijing time on February 21, Samsung held a new product launch event in San Francisco, USA, and officially released the Galaxy S10 series and the much-anticipated folding screen phone – Galaxy Fold. This is Samsung’s first folding screen phone.

The Galaxy Fold has a 7.3-inch folding screen and a 4.6-inch secondary screen, which is folded inside. When the phone is folded, the 4.6-inch (resolution 840×1960 pixels) secondary screen can realize all the operations of the current ordinary smartphone, and the overall operation logic is no different from that of the ordinary phone.

When the screen is turned on, the Galaxy Fold turns into a full-screen tablet, expanding the entire display area to 7.3 inches, and the main display has a resolution of 1536×2152 pixels. When the phone unfolds, apps that were previously running on the small screen will seamlessly switch to their current location, automatically adapting to the larger screen – if you’re looking at a map, then when you unfold the phone, the map will also expand and show more detailed information; if you’re taking a photo, then when you unfold the phone, it will automatically enter a wider editing mode.

The Galaxy Fold can display up to three apps on a single screen, with seamless switching between them.

This is due to the powerful performance of the Galaxy Fold. The Galaxy Fold is equipped with a 7nm SoC, with built-in 12GB RAM + 512GB ROM (UFS 3.0), and a 4380mAh battery.

Unlike the Galaxy S10 series, the Galaxy Fold does not use the latest ultrasonic screen fingerprint technology, but instead uses a side fingerprint to unlock it.

In terms of imaging, the Galaxy Fold machine contains a total of six lenses. Among them, the three rear lenses are 16MP ultra-wide-angle, 12MP standard wide-angle and 12MP telephoto, the front camera on the small screen is 10MP specification, and the front dual-camera specifications in the open state are 10MP ultra-wide-angle and 8MP depth-of-field cameras.

Of course, what everyone is most concerned about is how the phone screen folds. Samsung uses a sophisticated hinge system to reinforce it, hiding multiple interlocking gears in the phone case.

The key point is that the Galaxy Fold starts at $1980 (about 13,377 yuan) and has four color schemes. It will launch an LTE version and a 5G version respectively. It is expected to go on sale on April 26.

After the Note 7 explosion, Samsung’s share of the Chinese market plummeted, from 20% at its peak to 1% today.

Can Samsung rely on folding phones to make a comeback in China?

Some people are not optimistic about this. Today, a CNBC article analyzed that Samsung may be repeating the mistakes of Apple’s mobile phones.

1. The price is too high

In addition to the Galaxy Fold, which starts at $1,980, today Samsung also announced the entry-level Galaxy S10e, which starts at $749; the Galaxy S10, which starts at $899; and the Galaxy S10 +, which starts at $999. Those prices will rise as storage space increases.

Todd Haselton, technology product editor at CNBC, believes that with the longer lifespan of mobile phones, consumers don’t have to replace them as urgently as they used to.

2. Lack of "rigid demand" function

People used to queue up for new phones because they had better cameras, sharper screens and faster data transfer speeds – all must-have features. But that innovation has slowed.

Although Samsung has introduced a more colorful display, a fingerprint reader hidden under the screen, and an interesting feature that allows wireless earphones to be charged on the back of the phone, why would users want to spend another $850 or $999 to upgrade the Galaxy S8, which already has a good display and facial recognition? They are not attractive enough to make consumers spend so much money.

3. Failed miserably in the Chinese market

Apple’s phone shipments in China have plummeted nearly 20% due to pricing issues, but Apple is still on the Chinese market map anyway. But what about Samsung?

Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO and other local brands have taken advantage of Apple and Samsung’s mistakes in the market to rise rapidly through affordable mobile phones. It is expected that new products will also be difficult to reverse Samsung’s decline in the Chinese market.

After the Spring Festival, the folding screen + 5G concept ignited the class A share market. Today, 5G concept, Huawei concept, Xiaomi concept, flexible screen concept and other sectors led the rise.

When it came to folding screens last year, it seemed like it was just a gimmick, but this year, after the debate between Xiaomi and Royole Technology "who is the first", and the exposure of Samsung’s patent related to Huawei and Apple’s folding screen, people found that folding screen mobile phones have become a reality.

On October 30 last year, Rouyu Technology released a folding screen hand, the core selling point is "the world’s first foldable flexible screen mobile phone".

On January 23, Lin Bin, co-founder and president of Xiaomi, announced on Weibo that the engineering machine of Xiaomi’s folding screen mobile phone has been launched, accompanied by a demonstration video. In the 200-word introduction, Lin Bin mentioned that Xiaomi "has overcome a series of technical problems such as flexible folding screen technology, four-wheel drive folding shaft technology… After a series of technical problems, we have made the first folding screen mobile phone, which should also be the world’s first dual folding mobile phone".

As a result, Xiaomi became a target for Fan Junchao, vice-president of Royole Technology.

In Moments’ more than 900-word response, Fan Junchao pointed out that Xiaomi’s dual-folding screen mobile phone only used concept flexible screens and engineering prototypes that could not be mass-produced, and claimed that he had conquered flexible display technology, and there was suspicion of plagiarism. In addition to Samsung and LG, other manufacturers around the world are still 108,000 miles away from the launch of the whole machine. The words are quite fierce.

Yesterday (February 20), at the Xiaomi press conference, Lei Jun responded to the matter: "That folding screen is indeed not made by our Xiaomi, but if we turn the folding screen into a product, the workload here is unprecedented. The dual folding screen is definitely the first of Xiaomi."

The battle for folding screen mobile phones is not just a technical issue, but a dark battle over time and order.

Because just one day after Xiaomi’s official exposure (January 24), Huawei Consumer CEO Yu Chengdong said that Huawei will launch a 5G folding screen smartphone at the 2019 Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona, Spain from February 25 to 28. Xiaomi’s early exposure beat Huawei by a day.

According to data, Huawei’s previous schedule for the launch of 5G smartphones was June 2019, but now it has been advanced to February.

As a result, Samsung was earlier than Huawei. On January 9, Samsung executives confirmed to the media that Samsung would release a folding display phone in the first half of 2019. Shortly thereafter, the Wall Street Journal received news that on February 20, four days before Huawei’s 5G folding phone was released, Samsung would showcase a foldable screen phone at a new product launch event.

As early as the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Note9 in August 2018, Koh Dong-jin, president of Samsung’s mobile division, said that "it will not let the outside world [wait for the folding screen phone] for too long", because Samsung does not want to lose the title of the world’s first foldable screen phone to others.

Nowadays, Samsung has set the tone for the appearance, performance and price of the folding screen mobile phone. After the release of Huawei and Xiaomi’s mobile phones, the war will really start when consumers choose.

Dongfeng Motor Group: The vicissitudes of life

picture

From glory to loneliness, from pride to disappointment, it doesn’t take an era at all, a few years is enough. Just like the automotive industry in recent years, it is difficult for anyone at the card table to "win in a breeze".

On July 25, Dongfeng Group shares (HK: 00489) set a 52-week intraday low of HK $2.19/share. As the chairperson of the group, Yang Qing, an old Dongfeng man who is responsible for the group’s performance and market performance, should be under a lot of pressure.

Its shares fell more than 40 per cent in the first half of the year, while the Hang Seng index closed up nearly 4 per cent over the same period, as the group’s chill in capital markets reflected weakness in sales fundamentals that underpin Dongfeng.

Longitudinal point of view, in the first half of this year, the cumulative sales of Dongfeng Group shares increased by 2.2% year-on-year, stopping at one million vehicles for the second consecutive year; recall the same period in 2017/2018, half a year to reach 1.50 million vehicles, the gap is not big.

1 Recognize the reality

In 2024, Dongfeng Group’s share sales target is 2.70 million vehicles, which is the first time in five years that the group has adjusted the annual target to below 3 million vehicles.

But unfortunately, in the three years from 2020 to 2022, the group’s sales target has been higher and higher, but the actual sales achieved have been less and less. Looking at the data in recent years, Dongfeng Group shares reveal a sense of helplessness and unwillingness that "my life is up to me" but cannot be fought.

In 2023, Dongfeng Group’s shares contracted for the first time, lowering the target to 3 million vehicles, but finally reached 2.0882 million vehicles, with a completion rate of less than 70% for the whole year. In 2024, Dongfeng Group shares, which recognized the reality, lowered their expectations again, and this time the annual target was only 2.70 million vehicles.

90.8%, 84.3%, 71.0%, and 69.6% are the target completion rates of Dongfeng Group from 2020 to 2023. The decreasing sales volume and completion rate year by year are like a basin of cold water, which ruthlessly wakes up this old automobile central enterprise with a glorious history.

From Shiyan in northwestern Hubei to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, Dongfeng Motor is facing another critical moment.

2 "days" fade away

The most sobering thing for Dongfeng Group’s shares should be the "not what it used to be" of its two major Japanese joint ventures.

During its heyday (about the past 10 years), the two Japanese joint ventures contributed more than 70% of the group’s sales, making them a veritable sales pillar and profit cow.

In the first half of 2018, Dongfeng Nissan (including Venutian and Infiniti) sold 620,000 vehicles, and now only 330,000 vehicles; compared with the monthly average sales may be more impactful. In five years, its monthly average sales have plummeted from 100,000 vehicles to 50,000 vehicles, reaching the level of "halving".

Weak sales will inevitably be transmitted to the production side, inhibiting the release of production capacity.

According to public information, Dongfeng Nissan’s Guangzhou, Xiangyang, Zhengzhou, Dalian, Changzhou and Wuhan production bases reached 1.60 million vehicles, while last year’s capacity utilization rate was less than 50%. As of the first half of this year, its capacity utilization rate was only 20.6%.

Not long ago, it was reported that Dongfeng Nissan’s Wuhan Yunfeng factory would be used to produce Lantu car soulmates.

Although it is the height of summer, it feels chilling. The era of Japanese brands in full swing has come to an end. The decision to introduce three-cylinder engines may be the historic beginning of Dongfeng Nissan’s decline.

In the face of the strong counterattack of Chinese brands, the "Huohuo Sickle" of the price war, and Dongfeng Nissan, which is lagging behind in the transformation of new energy, have lost their "combat power" and have become the first Japanese brands to bear the brunt.

It is worth mentioning that on June 16, Dongfeng Nissan ushered in 16 million vehicle production and sales milestones on its 21st birthday. General Manager of Dongfeng Nissan, Sekiguchi, released the "Dongfeng Nissan New Struggle · 100 Action Plan". He called on all Dongfeng Nissan employees to strengthen their confidence, anchor their goals, fight with all their fun, and win with all their fun, and jointly open a "new era of enjoyment" for Dongfeng Nissan.

Dongfeng Nissan plans to launch 7 new new energy products by the end of 2026, and the R & D investment will exceed 10 billion yuan in the next three years. The medium and long-term goal is to increase the size of the R & D team to more than 4,000 people…

However, can the grand plan bring Dongfeng Nissan back to the glory of the fuel age?

Compared with Dongfeng Nissan’s cumulative negative sales performance, Dongfeng Honda sold 237,900 vehicles in the first half of this year, up 4.79% year-on-year, outperforming the group’s growth rate. However, as mentioned above, its current sales scale is also facing a serious contraction.

Under the rolling tide of new energy and intelligent transformation, Dongfeng Honda’s meritorious models CR-V and CR-V, even if the price is significantly reduced, it is difficult to return to the previous market position. BYD, Geely Automobile, and Chery’s competing models are on the rise.

In the face of the overall monthly sales of about 30,000 vehicles, the annual sales target of "Dongfeng Honda’s impact on 1 million vehicles" may never be mentioned again.

According to Honda China’s latest news, it will implement capacity optimization in China to accelerate electrification transformation. Among them, Dongfeng Honda plans to suspend production of the second production line with an annual capacity of 240,000 vehicles in November 2024; its new electric factory under construction will be put into operation in September this year, and plans to launch more than 10 pure electric models by 2030.

It is worth mentioning that on July 16, Dongfeng Honda also just celebrated its 21st birthday, only a month away from Dongfeng Nissan.

The transformation is lagging behind, sales are shrinking, overcapacity, and layoffs are causing Japanese brands to face unprecedented challenges.

3 "Dharma" is difficult to apply

In the first half of this year, Shenlong Automobile sold a total of 37,700 vehicles, with an average monthly sales of more than 6,000 vehicles, and the performance was very "stable". It’s just that the market presence is minimal.

In 2022, the monthly sales volume of this French joint venture company can still exceed 10,000 vehicles, but since 2023, it has basically missed 10,000 vehicles, not to mention the easy monthly sales of 50,000 vehicles at its peak.

A year later, he went to the FAW Group to follow the old leader, but the situation of Shenlong Automobile was far from optimistic. In the current extremely rolled-in car market, it was difficult to survive with a sales volume of several thousand vehicles; especially for Shenlong Automobile, new brands and new products emerged one after another.

The current Shenlong Automobile has mainly focused on the user brand "bosom friend" and implemented the "Five Hearts Guardian Action 2.0", including the recent launch of the "Longjing Plan" with JD.com.

For product-level innovation or new actions, Shenlong Automobile has little voice. In the first half of this year, Shenlong Automobile mainly launched the new 408 model of Dongfeng Peugeot, and Dongfeng Citroen 2024 Versailles C5 X & a new version of Travel Extraordinary, nothing more.

If the Japanese joint venture is lagging behind in the new energy track, then Shenlong Automobile can be considered a laggard. It is understood that Shenlong Automobile’s first new energy model will not be officially put into production until 2025.

On July 15, Shenlong Automobile made adjustments to its management. Chen Bin, an "old Dongfeng man", was transferred to FAW and no longer held the position of general manager of the company; Song Hanming was recommended to serve as general manager. Chen Bin was also ordered to take over at the lowest point of Shenlong Automobile and start a disaster. However, the current Shenlong Automobile still makes everyone feel that the stamina is insufficient.

The sales target of 100,000 cars this year may be difficult to achieve.

4 "Self" is constantly strong

Perhaps realizing the "powerlessness" of the joint venture sector, Dongfeng Group shares have poured more effort into their own business.

Dongfeng Yipai, Dongfeng Nano, Dongfeng Fengshen, the three major brands have joined forces to improve the production and sales performance of Dongfeng passenger cars.

Among them, Dongfeng Yipai, which is the core of Dongfeng Motor’s strategic transformation, has launched two models in the first half of this year, namely eπ 007 and eπ 008. It is understood that the second factory in Wuhan mainly produces Dongfeng Yipai. The output of eπ 007 will stabilize at around 3,000 units in July, and will increase to 5,000 units in August as orders grow. The eπ 008, which was officially launched and delivered in June, is also climbing production. The current monthly output has increased to about 5,000 units.

According to the plan, in the next three years, Yipai, Fengshen and Nano will launch 11 new products; and by 2025, the three major product series of the "Dongfeng" brand will break through 700,000 new energy vehicles.

700,000, which is equivalent to the sales of Dongfeng Nissan and Dongfeng Honda last year. Is this going to be "independent and joint venture"?

The answer lies in 2025.

After Dreamer and Chaser, the fourth model of Lantu Automobile will also be launched this year.

In 2023, Lantu Automobile successfully achieved its annual sales target of 50,000 vehicles; in 2024, its sales target is the same as Shenlong Automobile, and it is also 100,000 vehicles. With the addition of new models of Huawei Empower, this goal is not far away.

The failure of the joint venture brand in the Chinese market is not the only one affected by Dongfeng Group. However, it has two major Japanese automakers and a legal system. Dongfeng Motor Group has been hit more strongly, which also led to its first net profit loss in 2023.

Dongfeng Motor Group’s "bug-catching" operation has also continued. Even at the DONGFENG MOTOR CORPORATION’s mid-year 2024 work conference on July 16, Yang Qing, chairperson and party secretary of the company, emphasized that in the second half of the year, the company must insist on the central inspection and rectification, and put it in a prominent position.

As the saying goes, everything is man-made, and only when people are correct can they do things correctly.

Dongfeng Automobile Group, a central automobile enterprise that often talks about "family and country feelings" and "industry serving the country", carries a heavier mission.

Now that the glory of the joint venture era is in the past, there is no need to miss it. The automotive industry is a marathon, self-improvement, and there are still opportunities in the second half. The national team should be very excited.

The old man is on the verge of a thousand miles. If you don’t fight at this time, when will you wait?!

Changan Mazda EZ-6 internal invoice accidentally leaked pricing directly to the 18-240,000 range!

Recently, a picture claiming to be a Changan Mazda EZ-6 car purchase invoice has circulated on the Internet. The invoice shows that the price of the EZ-6 pure electric BEV model is 221,800 yuan. Many people, including those in the automotive industry, believe that as Changan Mazda’s first new energy product and unique in the joint venture B-class car market to provide range extension power, this pricing may be true and menacing, pointing to the market leader position.

First of all, let’s verify the authenticity of this invoice. Judging from the pictures that flow out, the invoice date of this car purchase invoice is August 16, which is obviously more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time, which is worth noting. Generally speaking, a new model needs to go through a strict time promotion process, especially for a joint venture like Changan Mazda, which involves joint decision-making between China and Japan. It is completely reasonable to agree on the price 2 months in advance. In addition, although some sensitive information on the invoice has been coded, from the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., this invoice is very reliable and is likely to be a leak of internal information. Therefore, the price of 221,800 yuan shown on the invoice is likely to be the real price of the EZ-6.

Since its debut at the Beijing Motor Show in 2024, the EZ-6 has quickly become a focal point in the field of joint venture new energy. On the one hand, this is due to its trendsetting styling design; on the other hand, the EZ-6 is currently the only model in the joint venture B-class market to offer extended range power options, filling the gap in the field.

In detail, the EZ-6 has a length, width and height of 4921/1890/1485mm respectively in terms of body size, and a wheelbase of 2895mm. It adopts a frameless door and a hatchback design. Although the shape is more new energy, many of Mazda’s classic design elements can still be seen from the design of the through-type tail lights and the four round barrel lights on both sides. In terms of power, from the available information, the EZ-6 will be available in both pure electric and extended range forms, both with rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, while the extended range version also uses a 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are the same as those of the pure electric version. In terms of battery life, the pure electric model has a range of 480km and 600km respectively according to the capacity of the battery pack; the extended range version can exceed 1300km on a single charge and a tank of fuel.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, equipped with 14.6-inch floating center control screen, full LCD instrument panel and AR-HUD head-up display. It also includes 360-degree panoramic images, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and other high-tech configurations, and is equipped with a rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights and zero-gravity seats.

From the perspective of product positioning and pricing strategy, the price of 221,800 yuan for the EZ-6 appears very competitive. In comparison, the price of the Tesla Model 3 and BMW i3 in the same class is around 300,000 yuan, and the starting price of the Volkswagen ID7 has also reached 227,700 yuan. Although these models already have a place in the market, the advantages of the EZ-6 are obvious from the perspective of configuration and price. And, considering Mazda’s past pricing strategy, we expect that the final price range of the EZ-6 may fall between 180,000 and 240,000. If some strong preferential policies are introduced during the pre-sale period, this will not only be a price issue, but a strong impact on the entire joint venture new energy market.

It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28 and is scheduled to be officially launched at the end of October. The launch of this car will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the existing joint venture new energy models. With the intensification of market competition, who will ultimately stand out in this new energy war can only wait and see.

"Guardians of the Galaxy" starts big: Dryads are good at regenerating raccoons with high intelligence

     Movie Network News Recently, the second phase of Marvel’s masterpiece has frequently exposed various heavy promotional materials. There are still more than 5 months before the film is released in North America, and the publicity is so close. It is not difficult to see that Marvel has deep hopes for this film. Judging from the various trailers recently exposed, "Guardians of the Galaxy" shows that it is unusual. These bizarre guards do their best to do strange things. They are handsome and powerful in battle one second, and they are embarrassed in the next second, which is really surprising.

    When explaining why the trailer was so slow, director James Gang said earlier that it was because Marvel and Disney had a long-term plan for the film, because these superheroes were all untouched by most fans before, so they would choose the best time to let as many viewers as possible access to the story. Now it seems that the above reasons are on the one hand, it is important to let this "Galaxy Funny Team" hide a little deeper to whet the appetite of fans.

    So, what exactly is the Guardians of the Galaxy? Recently, the rocket raccoon acting cute everywhere, the giant dryad, the evil charm Gamara, the "big man" destroyer, and the most important founder "Star Lord" Peter Quill What are the origins? [Movie Network] The editor investigated the background and dug out the "account book" of the five members of the Guardians for everyone. Let’s start with Marvel’s new screen heroes.


 "Rocket Raccoon" is a highly intelligent genetically modified animal made by aliens

★ acting cute member ★ rocket raccoon

    The first starting point is everyone’s favorite cute raccoon. After Marvel released the first trailer for "Guardians of the Galaxy", the biggest complaint among fans was that the rocket raccoon in the trailer didn’t speak. Especially the loyal fans of Bradley Cooper complained even more. This time Marvel released the latest 28-second character, behind- the-scene, to meet the requirements of fans, and see this little raccoon with a gun more closely. Does the hot temper remind you of the popular teddy bear the year before last?

    The "Rocket Raccoon" was a batch of highly intelligent genetically modified animals that had been modified by highly intelligent aliens. It was used to take care of and record the psychopaths among the aliens. Its sense of smell and perception is very sharp, its hair is thick, and it has strong adaptability to the environment. It has a very strong strategic mind and can change tactics in time according to the changing situation of the battlefield.

Will the taxi "share" road be long?

    On the one hand, if the supervision is weak and the punishment is not strict, "joint taxi" can easily become "forced rider", which will harm the interests of passengers and cause chaos in the taxi market.The serious changes in the implementation process, the frequent phenomenon of bullying and slaughtering passengers, make passengers vulnerable again. Even if strict supervision can be achieved to prevent "forced competition" to the greatest extent, many problems in the process of "joint rental" will seriously hinder the pace of passengers "sharing".

    As far as passengers are concerned, if passengers are new to the city, destination and bus route, they are often very cautious. In order to arrive at the destination safely and as soon as possible, they generally do not accept "shared rides".If a passenger is already familiar with the road, he or she may no longer worry too much about safety issues, but he or she will also calculate in his mind whether "carpooling" will delay time, whether it will take a detour, whether it will obviously save the cost of a taxi, and if it cannot achieve obvious results, I am afraid that "carpooling" will not generally be accepted. Furthermore, it is not easy for passengers to agree on the destination and route of the bus in the very limited time on the roadside. What’s more, the trust between people in our country is not high at present, and "don’t talk to strangers" has even become the code of conduct for traveling.

    From the taxi driver’s side, there are technical problems that are difficult to solve, that is, passengers who get off the taxi early cannot get tickets; secondly, there are unwritten rules inside the taxi "do not tear down each other and do not grab business"; thirdly, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between "multi-person taxi" and "multi-person ride".In addition, they are also worried that they will be complained because of many problems in the "ride-sharing" process, such as "refusing to take a ride" that cannot be agreed upon, whether to take a detour during the delivery process, etc. After all, there are many things that are difficult to prove their innocence. Drivers are more willing to "do more than less", and more importantly, drivers will not significantly increase their income because of "ride-sharing".

Wang Xueqi exposes "Sword Rain" and Big S on master-apprentice love, denies beating Ge You angrily

"Sword Rain" character poster debut, Yu Wenle show weapon Woo Yusen wants to be Jing Ke

        On the same day, the organizers exposed the constellation posters of the 12 stars in "Sword Rain", of which Dai Liren, who showed a ghostly smile, was the most eye-catching. Several of the stars also showed off the strange weapons they used in the film in person. Yu Wenle swung POSE and showed off the "magic of chopsticks"; Wang Xueqi held a long sword in his hand, showing his majesty; Dai Liren held up his double swords with extraordinary momentum.

        The famous constellation Little Prince wrote the constellation judgment for the protagonist, and he did not forget to analyze Woo’s character that day. "Woo has a clear love and hate, but he likes to keep his feelings in his heart, and is good at using movies to reflect this feeling. But it is precisely because Woo is too human, so he always suffers." Hearing this, Woo nodded frequently. As for which martial arts character he wants to be the most, Woo said to be Jing Ke.

        Speaking of the $14 million investment in "Sword Rain," John Woo said that this is a movie about the chivalrous spirit of women, and the audience will definitely feel refreshing. Regarding the character’s character, Yu Wenle revealed, "In" Sword Rain, "I, Wang Xueqi, and Dai Liren are all bad guys. Wang Xueqi is our boss, but we all have our own reasons, not absolute bad guys." Yu Wenle even revealed that his role, on the surface, is a killer, but in fact his greatest ideal is to make noodles.
 

Sun Honglei "Homecoming" and "Extreme Challenge 5" show their magic

  China Net Entertainment, June 30This Sunday at 21:00, the fifth season of the large-scale star-element combined inspirational experience program "Extreme Challenge" on Oriental Satellite TV will broadcast the eighth episode. Sun Honglei, Huang Lei, Luo Zhixiang, Zhang Yixing, Wang Xun, Di Lizheba, Yue Yunpeng and Jia Nailiang gathered in Wuzhen and ushered in a competition to sell agricultural products from all over the Yangtze River Basin under the theme of "helping farmers and poverty alleviation".

  In the program, Sun Honglei, who "returned home", was treated with "gongs and drums" as soon as he appeared, and Huang Lei and Luo Zhixiang also gave "tacit understanding gifts"; in order to sell these caring agricultural products "the more the better" to raise more poverty alleviation funds, the extremely small group of soldiers was divided into three routes and launched "fancy" hawking, which was very popular with tourists.

  Sun Honglei sprinkled flowers and appeared in the "homecoming" Huang Lei Luo Zhixiang tacitly anticipated

  Sun Honglei has not yet appeared, and Huang Lei and Luo Zhixiang have started to make various predictions about his appearance based on their years of understanding of this "old partner". From his clothes to his words and deeds, the two of them talked with relish, and popularized the "little knowledge" about Sun Honglei to the new members. Huang Lei directly guessed his "flamboyant" style, "wearing a long coat, sunglasses, and a hat on his head…". Luo Zhixiang "God imitated" Sun Honglei’s classic way of greeting, anticipating that he would first greet the only female member present, Di Li Reba, and ask her what zodiac sign. These two people are really good brothers who have walked through the four seasons with Sun Honglei.

  Under the backing track of the "gongs and drums" band, a familiar figure appeared, and there were people next to him who were responsible for spreading flowers to show his grand welcome. Sun Honglei, who appeared "ostentatiously", lived up to expectations, verifying Huang Lei and Luo Zhixiang’s expectations one by one. Under the waiting and seeing of all the members, he walked towards Di Lizheba, greeted him, and blurted out a sentence "What zodiac sign are you", which made the people present laugh.

  The extremely picky group "helps farmers and poverty alleviation" sells agricultural products, Luo Zhixiang Di Lizheba "fancy" shouts

  The income from the final sales of poverty alleviation products by the extremely picky group will be used as a love fund for "helping farmers and poverty alleviation". In order to sell more of these love agricultural products and contribute their own efforts, they did their best. Huang Lei, Wang Xun, Luo Zhixiang and Di Lizheba, Yue Yunpeng and Jia Nailiang came to the floating market in Wuzhen in three ways, shouting to the tourists on the shore to sell agricultural products. The scene was very lively. Among them, the sales speed of Luo Zhixiang and Di Lizheba’s group of "fast, accurate and ruthless" was shocking. Di Lizheba, who used to sell buns with "price war" on the show, showed his little skills in doing business in one fell swoop. This issue of "Little Selling Expert" Di Lizheba went online again, and even the slogan "Ten yuan, be closer to your love bean" was shouted. As the saying goes, "Men and women match, work is not tired", while shouting and selling, the two adopted promotional strategies on the fly. The tactful response of the "Luo Li" combination made the sales of agricultural products of the two of them hot. Di Lizheba also successfully added another sum of money in the name of "Luo Zhixiang’s used horn".

  In addition to the "fancy" peddling of the "Luo Li" group, the other two groups also came up with their own tricks. Jia Nailiang, who boasted that he was strong in sales, resorted to his own unique sales tricks. The product introduction of "men’s gas station, women’s beauty salon" was catchy, but tourists were not moved. Similarly, Yue Yunpeng’s "Yue style coquettish" was very easy to use, and sold his agricultural products into best-sellers. As extremely "old rivers and lakes", Huang Lei and Wang Xun played the emotional card of "moving and understanding," and kept shouting to the tourists on the shore "Thank you for your support for poverty alleviation work". As Huang Lei told Wang Xun, "The most important thing in’Extreme Challenge ‘is to do two things, to benefit others and to benefit society." The efforts of Jituan to help the cause of love poverty alleviation echo the slogan of the show "This is Love".
