Continuing to sell well, the wide-range style "volume" has reached a new height

In today’s automotive market, new products and new brands have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and consumers are facing more and more choices, but few can really win the favor of the market. However, the GAC Honda model stands out in the market with its excellent performance and unique charm, achieving contrarian growth. It is understood that with its all-round product power, the model continues to sell well. In 2023, the cumulative sales volume exceeded 130,000 units, an increase of 57.2% year-on-year, far exceeding the average growth rate of the same-class car market, and rushed to the first echelon of A + class cars in one fell swoop.

In such an internal volume environment, this achievement is enough to prove that the unique charm of the style, as the "most volume A + level trendy run", is gradually conquering more and more young consumers. So, what is it that makes the style stand out in the fierce market competition and become a popular choice in the hearts of consumers?

Volume power: surging passion beyond the same level

Who is one of the most worthwhile performance cars to buy within 200,000 yuan? For many young consumers who like sports sedans, the GAC Honda Model will be one of their top choices. Official data show that in January 2024, GAC Honda sold a total of 56,802 new cars, an increase of 41% year-on-year. It is worth noting that the bright sales results mainly come from its three popular models with monthly sales exceeding 10,000 units. Among them, the Honda Model, an A + class sports performance car, is particularly outstanding. In January, new car sales reached 13,023 units, an increase of 180.4% year-on-year. Recently, Honda Type has taken advantage of the victory and launched more attractive promotions. As of March 31, the type discount is 23,000 yuan, the starting price after the price reduction is only 106,900 yuan, and you can also enjoy 12 periods of 0-interest financial policy (this policy is only applicable to four-door gasoline models). This series of preferential measures will undoubtedly further stimulate the purchase enthusiasm of young consumers.

The hot-selling comes from the value recognition of users. The model adopts a new car building benchmark, providing a rich model matrix and power matrix. It has three power types: MT, CVT, and HEV. In addition, the rare sedan and hatchback coupe in the same class are available. All-round home and personalized sports are satisfied, creating a new A + class car value benchmark and stabilizing the A + class car market. The top camp. Public information shows that in terms of power systems, the Type e: HEV can be said to be full of sincerity. Equipped with the fourth-generation i-MMD hybrid system, the maximum power is 135kW, the peak torque is 315N · m, and the power is comparable to the 3.0L V6 engine. It is the first time that GAC Honda has lowered the 2.0L medium and large-scale car hybrid system to the A + class car. The measured 100-kilometer acceleration is just over 7 seconds, and the power performance is redundant, creating a more powerful and passionate power experience.

In order to further strengthen the competitiveness of GAC Honda’s younger and more sporty, on March 7, GAC Honda’s MUGEN-limited hot-blood dual-core (type-limited MUGEN version and Fit-limited MUGEN version) was officially launched. Among them, the price of the type-limited MUGEN version starts from 157,900 yuan, and the price of the Fit-limited MUGEN version starts from 97,800 yuan. As the "performance volume king" of the A + class car market, the type not only has the MT manual transmission version and the HATCHBACK five-door coupe that are scarce in the market, but now the addition of the MUGEN version is to further strengthen the performance personality charm of the type with more scarce value and more profound charm. Model has become the ideal choice for countless car enthusiasts and driving control seekers, especially for young people who are passionate about the ultimate driving experience.

Safety: Protect every trip

It is understood that for the new generation of users who pursue a more comprehensive and thoughtful approach, the GAC Honda Model provides consumers with a safe travel experience that is ahead of the same level in terms of body rigidity or active and passive safety performance. It has also received the authoritative evaluation of the core three all-excellent (G) of China Baoyan Research, and has unique safety advantages that are unmatched by A + competitors, new energy and other models.

As an A + class trendy race, the Model is not only equipped with 10 airbags and PUH pedestrian protection system as standard in the whole series, which has reached the safety benchmark of A + class top safety configuration and is comparable to luxury cars. In terms of body, the Model is equipped with a high-rigidity body built by the new structure of HA as standard in the whole series, and has been evaluated by C-IASI in three core projects of the crash test. The performance of 25% offset collision, side collision and roof strength test is better than that of the same class. Of course, there is no need to choose a car, and the Model is in one step in terms of safety and convenience. The automatic transmission is equipped with Honda SENSING safety super-sensing system as standard, which integrates a number of safety auxiliary features and auxiliary driving functions to achieve equal driving assistance.

In addition, the newly launched MUGEN brand also has strict quality control, and its product quality has even reached the "racing level" standard. While achieving perfect precision and integrated beauty, it also pursues improved handling stability and aerodynamic characteristics, which can provide users with the most scarce quality machines, supplies, and parts. 

Volume configuration: luxury experience at your fingertips

As a strategic A + class car of GAC Honda, the model is paired with a high-end configuration that surpasses the B class car of the same price, providing a wealth of choices for young people of different circles. According to reports, many models currently only have 8 to 10 speakers at the top, while the model is equipped with a specially tailored BOSE luxury sound system (12 speakers), which also makes the model lead the same level in the number of speakers and hearing quality. In addition, the e: HEV model comes standard with active noise reduction and active sound wave control, which is suitable for both movement and sound, and pays more attention to hearing enjoyment than its peers.

Type e: HEV. Interviewee, photo courtesy

Not only that, the model automatic transmission is equipped with the Honda CONNECT 3.0 car system, which integrates intelligent voice control, electronic payment, mobile phone interconnection, OTA upgrade, car-home interconnection and other functions, bringing unprecedented convenience to the driver. The newly added card key function has pushed the luxury experience to a new height. Drivers can easily unlock the vehicle and enjoy intelligent travel by simply getting close to the vehicle.

In order to stand out in such an internal roll market, one must have the confidence to be more "roll" than others. The roll of the style is scarce at the same level and required by the consumers of the volume. This product value that is considered by users and difficult to replicate is the confidence that the style has won market recognition.

Changan Mazda EZ-6: A Disruptor in the Joint Venture New Energy B-Class Car Market?

Recently, some netizens posted a car purchase invoice for Changan Mazda EZ-6. The invoice shows that the first new energy model of Changan Mazda is priced at 221,800 yuan. This news undoubtedly caused an uproar in the automotive circle. The EZ-6 is not only the pioneer of Changan Mazda’s entry into the new energy market, but also has the potential to become a spoiler in the joint venture B-class car market, especially in this segment that only provides range-extending power options. It can be said that "the comer is not good".

According to the exposed invoice, we must first consider the authenticity of this invoice. The invoice was issued on August 16, more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time, and the car company’s time advancement process shows that Changma internally agreed on the price two months in advance. Although sensitive information such as the invoice code has been coded, from the invoice information and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., the invoice has high credibility and is very likely to be the real information from the internal outflow. Therefore, such a selling price should have great credibility.

In fact, since the EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, it has quickly become a hot topic in the field of joint venture new energy. On the one hand, it is at the forefront of the trend in terms of styling design, and on the other hand, it is the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that offers extended range power options, filling the gap in the form of joint venture new energy brands.

In terms of product specifications, the EZ-6 has a length, width and height of 4921mm, 1890mm and 1485mm in body size, a wheelbase of 2895mm, and a frameless door and hatchback design. These designs are not only in line with modern trends, but also show a sense of high-end. Although its appearance is more new and energy-efficient, details such as through taillights and four round barrel lights on both sides still retain the classic design elements of Mazda.

In terms of power system, the EZ-6 offers both pure electric and extended range options, both of which are rear-drive layouts. The power parameters of the pure electric version are set at 190kW, while the extended range version uses a 1.5-liter range extender of the same power. In terms of range, the pure electric model has two versions of 480km and 600km according to the battery pack capacity. The extended range version can achieve a battery life of over 1300km with one tank of fuel and one charge, which is quite good in the same class of models.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 also spares no effort. Equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating central control screen with full LCD instrument panel and AR-HUD head-up display, the whole cockpit is full of technology. In terms of safety configuration, 360-degree panoramic image, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance, automatic parking and other functions are equipped. In terms of comfort, Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights, zero-gravity seats and other configurations make it difficult to find competitors in the same class of models.

When comparing similar competitors, the price of the EZ-6 is even more advantageous. As a joint venture pure electric mid-range car, compared with the price of the same level Tesla Model 3 and BMW i3 at about 300,000 yuan, and the starting price of the Volkswagen ID.7 is 227,700 yuan, the 221,800 yuan of the EZ-6 pure electric version is quite affordable. This not only highlights its high cost performance, but also a challenge to similar brands.

According to Mazda’s previous pricing strategy, the final price of this car is estimated to be between 18-240,000 yuan. Combined with market demand and competitors, if some competitive policies are introduced during the pre-sale period, the EZ-6 is likely to become the next popular car. This will not only bring Changan Mazda a higher market share, but also bring great pressure to the existing joint venture new energy models in the market. As for whether all this can be realized as expected, the answer will be announced when the EZ-6 starts pre-sale on September 28 and is officially launched at the end of October. Please continue to pay attention and share your views and expectations in the comment area.

Whether you are a car enthusiast, a potential car buyer, or an industry practitioner, the launch of this car will undoubtedly bring a new wave. Please join us in anticipating the official launch of Changan Mazda EZ-6 and see if it can really become a disruptor in the joint venture new energy B-class car market.

Audi releases the second-generation Q7 customized version, a calm and luxurious style

  [Automotive World, New Car Booth] A few days ago, Audi Exclusive, the original customization department of Audi, announced the official picture of the customized version of the second-generation Q7. The main improvement of the new car lies in the appearance and interior.

The custom version of the Q7 is painted in Nerdo gray, while its hexagonal grille, front bar and door decoration, and roof rack are all painted in bright black, making the front face atmosphere of the new car similar to the family's fastest 5-door, RS7. And the new car's five-frame wheels are easily reminiscent of the third-generation Audi TT.

  In the cockpit, the customized version of the Q7 is made of Wagner (Valcona) leather with apricot material. The word Audi Exclusive on the inside of the door indicates the identity of its customized version. At present, Audi has not announced the power parameters of the new car, and we suspect that the customized version will start from 3.0T.

A major adjustment: Number three has been transferred, and the person who really does things has become the blame man?

Landmap, a homophonic "blueprint", symbolizes a beautiful plan and prospects. But since it announced its independence on June 26, 2021, Dongfeng’s high-end brand of new energy vehicles, "Landmap", is experiencing the transfer of the No. 3 person after 18 months in office, and sales continue to decline. It has even announced a high-profile learning of the direct-operated + experience store model of Tesla, NIO, etc., and is also transforming into a dealer franchise model. Since its establishment one year ago, Landmap has no "blueprint"?

As a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor Group, Lantu announced its entry into the high-end new energy vehicle market in 2020, targeting Tesla, NIO, Ideal and other brands. But after experiencing a significant increase in sales in the second half of last year, it seemed to be lackluster, and it encountered Waterloo in the first quarter of this year.

Lantu Experience Store (Zhiliao Car Shooting)

In terms of sales, in the first two months of this year, Lantu’s month-on-month decline has maintained a continuous decline of more than 50%, and the company’s management has also changed. Lantu, which once insisted on "living for users", has now become a sales-only theory. This new energy brand under Dongfeng may have stood at the crossroads of high-end new energy vehicles, and the situation is quite embarrassing.

"Number Three" was transferred after 18 months.

In 32 years, the minister of the Dongfeng system left sadly

According to sources familiar with the matter, Lei Xin, the chief brand officer (CBO) of Lantu, who had served in the Dongfeng department for more than ten years, has been transferred at the end of March this year, and his position has been temporarily taken over by Lantu CEO and CTO Lu Fang.

Lei Xin’s departure, even within the company, seemed very sudden. "It was quite sudden and unexpected," a person familiar with the matter said. "The day before, Lei always had a meeting and deployed relevant work until late at night, and there was no abnormality."

Zhiliao Automotive found that this is another change of position since Lei’s new appointment at Lantu, only about 18 months apart from the last one.

Landmap executive team members: Dongfeng Company Deputy General Manager, Landmap Chairperson You Zheng (third from left), Landmap CEO and CTO Lu Fang (second from right), Chief Brand Officer Lei Xin (first from right), chief operating officer Jiang Tao (first from left) and Chief Financial Officer Shen Jun (second from left)

On July 17, 2020, Lantu held a press conference in Wuhan to announce the launch of the "Lantu" brand and enter the high-end new energy vehicle market. At this press conference, Lantu’s executive team also made its debut to the outside world. This time Lei Xin appeared as the chief brand officer of Lantu for the first time.

Zhiliao Automobile found that whether it was from this press conference or subsequent activities of Landmap, Lei Xin was ranked after You Zheng and Lu Fang, and could be called the "No. 3 person" of Landmap.

This executive, who is so important to Landmap, is a veteran with more than 30 years of experience in Dongfeng. As early as 1990, Lei Xin joined Dongfeng Motor Company as an engineer. Since then, Lei Xin has successively served as the head of the strategic planning department, general manager, and executive deputy general manager of Dongfeng Motor, Shenlong Motor, Dongfeng Infiniti and other companies. As of March 2022, Lei Xin has been working in Dongfeng for 32 years, which can be regarded as witnessing the rise and fall of an automobile manufacturing company.

According to Tianyancha data, from March 23 to April 2 this year, Lei Xin has stepped down from the positions of heads of seven companies, including "Landmap Sales and Service Co., Ltd. Chengdu Branch".

Perhaps one of the main reasons why it has not been widely reported in the industry is that Lei Xin currently has many related connections with Landmap. According to Tianyancha information, Lei Xin also holds important positions in 56 other companies, all of which are related to Landmap.

But it cannot be ignored that the sudden transfer of Lei Xin may be directly related to the dismal sales of Lantu in the first quarter of this year.

It has fallen by more than 50% for two consecutive months.

Only 8% of the annual target was achieved.

Or the main reason for the adjustment

According to the statistics of China Automobile, in the first two months of this year, the sales of Lantu increased by -53.36% and -52.35% respectively. Especially in February, the sales volume of the month was only 740 units, which was the second-to-last result after the mass production of its models, only better than the sales volume in the first month of August last year.

Landscape’s sales growth trend since August last year (Zhiliao Automotive Drawing)

It was not until March this year that Lantu’s sales resumed to more than 1,000 units, but this achievement was also unsatisfactory.

Data from the China Automobile Association shows that Landmap ranked only 13th in the sales of large SUVs in March, not only falling behind the ideal and NIO, but also losing the top 10 last year.

In 2022, Lantu called out the goal of "sales 46,000, production 48,000", which is even more than 3 times that of last year (13,000), but as of the first quarter of this year, the production and sales of Lantu’s first model, Lantu FREE, were 6044 and 3693 respectively, and the completion of production and sales was only 12.59% and 8.03% of this year’s target.

This is a very obvious gap with direct competitors NIO ES6 and Ideal ONE. In the first quarter of this year, NIO ES6 sales were 5064 units, and Ideal ONE sales reached 11,034 units. The sales volume of Lantu FREE in the first quarter is less than the sales volume of the two direct competitors in March.

It can be said that Lantu is gradually falling behind in the domestic mid-to-large SUV market with fierce competition. This may also be one of the important reasons why Lei Xin, as the direct person in charge of market brand, sales, innovation ecology and commodity planning, failed to achieve the expected goals in the first quarter and was transferred away.

The growing gap in sales with its rivals has forced Lantu to transfer executives. This may just be a trigger for Lantu’s strategic adjustment, or a microcosm of the continuous struggles of this new energy brand owned by Dongfeng.

Direct sales to franchise,

Is "living for users" a slogan or a real innovation?

According to Zhimiao Automotive, Lantu is currently recruiting franchisees, trying to share its huge marketing costs in the way of franchises, and quickly expand its channels. This seems to be another major adjustment in Lantu’s strategy along with Lei Xin’s transfer.

"Dongfeng Motor has no shortage of funds. What it lacks is top-level design, strategic determination and the determination of leaders. The system and mechanism have not been properly managed, so whether it is fuel vehicles or new energy, Dongfeng Motor cannot do it," the media quoted senior Dongfeng officials as saying.

Behind the personnel turmoil and the adjustment of the direct sales model, it seems that Dongfeng has compromised with Lantu in the embarrassing situation of continuous decline in sales, but this cannot help but raise doubts: Lantu, which "lives for users", is an empty slogan or a real innovation?

At the beginning of its establishment, Lantu claimed to "live for users", positioning "to provide users with a high-end smart electric experience with zero anxiety".

However, whether it is the official launch of Lantu or its product performance over the past year, it seems that there is a lack of innovation, but it is mainly based on following the trend.

According to some media, at the July 2020 press conference, Landmap announced that it would adopt an innovative business model and organizational mechanism to address the six major anxieties of users about electric vehicles, but how to innovate the business model and organizational mechanism and how to solve the anxiety of users were not introduced.

And when Ideal, NIO and other new domestic car-making forces are showing their leading three-electric technology and driverless strength to users, Lantu can only shout "user-centered", and use "new car-making strength" to Pengci "new car-making forces" in words and words.

In the product design of Landscape, there is also a lack of sufficient sincerity to impress users. The first car Landscape FREE actually has a very similar design and positioning to the ideal ONE, but Landscape FREE is not only released more than two years later than its competitors, but also has a more obvious gap in various configurations (for example, the ideal ONE body is larger, the pure electric battery life is 48 kilometers longer than Landscape FREE, and the battery is also higher), while the price of the two cars is almost the same (the ideal ONE starts at only 10,000 more expensive than Landscape FREE).

From positioning to product design, Lantu’s sales decline is no accident. Behind it is the clumsiness and rigidity of a state-owned auto giant’s transformation into an automotive technology company. It also appears to be reflected in Lantu’s executive style.

You Zheng, Deputy General Manager of Dongfeng Company and Chairperson of Lantu

According to the data, the senior management team of Lantu and the deputy general manager of Dongfeng Motor in charge of Lantu, You Zheng, all have obvious professional backgrounds in FAW Group or state-owned enterprises.

"From the perspective of the executive team, the first is very traditional, there are no talents from internet companies and technology companies. The second is that most of them are back-office managers and have no experience as traders," said one securities firm analyst. "[Landmap] is more like a technology company on the surface."

And Lei Xin, who had experienced many Dongfeng companies and was a "generalist" in marketing, sales and strategy, was now transferred, which seemed even more surprising. "How does it feel that the person who really does things has become the blame man," an insider lamented to Zhiliao Auto.

At present, the biggest problem facing Landscape is how to increase sales, but if you give up users and innovation for sales, this may be the practice of "losing watermelon and finding sesame seeds".

2024 Chengdu Auto Show: Volkswagen Tuyue Emerging, priced from 79,900, fuel-efficient and durable SUV

  At the 2024 Chengdu Auto Show, the new masterpiece of SAIC Volkswagen’s official announcement – Tuyue Xinrui was officially launched, and became the high-profile star of this Chengdu Auto Show with highlights such as provincial public stalls, provincial fuel consumption and strong power.

Wu Bai sang two songs for a movie before he became famous, which accidentally became a classic

In the history of Chinese-language gangster movies, which one is most like the gangster classic "Once Upon a Time in America"? Is it John To’s "Gunfire" or "The Underworld"? Or John Woo’s "The True Color of Heroes"?

If you want to talk about the character setting and growth experience, the master director Hou Hsiao-hsien, directed by Xu Xiaoming, the Taiwanese film "Youth, Peace!" The charm and context can be called the Chinese version of "American Past"!

The latest good news is that this movie, which is "legendary" to many fans, is finally going to be digitally restored and re-released. This should be a big event worth telling among Chinese fans!

This film, released in 1992, was produced by Hou Hsiao-hsien and produced by Zhang Huakun, so almost all the actors in the film were related to Hou Hsiao-hsien.

Starring as Big Brother Gao Jie, Hou Hsiao Xian’s royal actor, he was born with a magical power to play the underworld big brother. Gao Jie was only 34 years old at the time.

The actress Wei Xiaohui made her mark in the Taiwanese film industry from this film, and then starred in Hou Hsiao-hsien’s "Good Men and Good Women" and "South Country, Goodbye South Country", but after her role in "Flowers on the Sea", she stopped being an actress.

One of the male protagonists, Yan Zhengguo, Hou Xiaoxian’s royal child star, turned 18 after the film was filmed, but disappeared from the film industry.

It turned out that Yan Zhengguo later fell into drug abuse and committed a felony and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. After his release from prison, he reformed, re-entered the film industry as an actor, and became a director with a box office of over 100 million in 2018 with "Corner 2: The King Rises Again".

And Big Brother Gao Jie happens to be an important figure in the universe of "Corner Head".

"Young Man, Calm Down!" was the last film of actor Tan Zhigang’s life, and he was only 17 when he made it.

Speaking of Tan Zhigang, it really makes people feel sorry.

At the age of 13, when "Guling Street Youth Murder" recruited young actors, Tan Zhigang, who had experience in children’s programming on TV, went to audition for the role of Kitten King. Yang Dechang preferred him to play Kitten King. But the preparation period for the movie was too long, so Tan Zhigang went to shoot other movies first.

"Middle School Girls"

The winter vacation is long enough.

At the age of 15, his family was going to take Tan Zhigang to immigrate to the United States, but he still thought about "Guling Street", so he stayed in Taiwan to shoot "Guling Street" and run a karaoke bar. When he came to Yang Dechang again, because it had been more than two years and he had grown a lot taller, Yang Dechang had to replace Wang Qizan to play Kitten King, and Tan Zhigang played another very important role – Pony.

Tan Zhigang performed with Zhang Zhen that year.

In 1991, Hou Hsiao-hsien’s production of "Youth, Peace!" was looking for actors. Hou Hsiao-hsien and director Xu Xiaoming met Tan Zhigang with a mixed-race face at the test film of "Guling Street", and customized the role of "Youth, Peace!" for Tan Zhigang "Adou Zai".

Tan Zhigang and Aunt Chen Shufang played opposite each other in "Youth, Peace!" at that time, Aunt Shufang was only in her early 50s.

Chen Shufang became a box office actress in Taiwan last year at the age of more than 80 with "Lonely Flavor" and "Dear Tenant". "Lonely Flavor" is the box office champion in Taiwan.

In 1992, "Youth, Peace!" was released, and Tan Zhigang was about to leave for the United States. However, "Youth, Peace!" was planning a sequel, and Tan Zhigang stayed in Taiwan to wait for the filming to start. On September 4, 1993, Tan Zhigang and his friends went camping in the mountains and encountered a car with a flat tire. Tan Zhigang and his friend Liu Zhimin drove a car down the mountain to ask for help, but when they turned the corner, the car fell into a 100-meter deep valley. Tan Zhigang died on the spot. When he died, he was just 18 years old and a month old.

If there are so many "ifs" in the world, what would happen if Tan Zhigang didn’t die and went to the United States to study movies?

Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in the world. The restoration of "Young Man, Peace!" is the best memorial to Tan Zhigang.

In addition to the movie classic, the original sound of the music is also a milestone. It is the first film in Taiwan to use rock music as the soundtrack of the whole film.

That year, 24-year-old Wu Junlin (Wu Bai) sang the theme song of the same name and "Lighting Cigarettes" in "Youth, Peace!"

This is Wu Bai’s first time in the original sound of the film, even before his first solo album "Falling in love with others is a happy thing".

Wu Bai was also invited to participate in the ceremony of the restoration and launch of "Youth, Peace!".

"Youth, Peace!" is also the first film that the famous Taiwanese film composer Lin Qiang collaborated with Hou Hsiao-hsien, even a year earlier than his first appearance in Hou Hsiao-hsien’s film "Dream Life".

Lin Qiang sang three songs in the original soundtrack, including "The Silent Place" with Hou Xiaoxian. This song composed by Wu Bai later became a famous song when Wu Bai took it and sang it.

Lin Qiang’s first album "Going Forward" in 1990 is a landmark work in the history of Hokkien rock.

Lin Qiang met Hou Xiaoxian, who came to visit the class, when he was shooting the MV of the "Go Forward" album. The two hit it off and began their cooperation for many years.

It is well known that director Hou Hsiao-hsien can sing two voices, so in "Young Man, Peace!" he also sang a song "Dream Man" by himself.

There is also a band called Baboo in the original sound, which is composed of Lin Weizhe, Li Xinyun, Li Shouxin and Jin Muyi.

Lin later became a famous rock producer and music company owner (manager). These days, Wu Qingfeng’s choking incident is caused by Lin Weizhe and Wu Qingfeng’s copyright lawsuit (Qingfeng finally won, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief). Li Xinyun later became a pop music and film and television soundtrack, and was the winner of the Golden Melody Award and the Golden Horse Award. Li Shouxin is now the top drummer of Chinese pop music, especially jazz drums. Bass player Jin Muyi is from Japan, and later became active in the Chinese pop music circle. He and Fan Xiaoxuan Zhou Junwei formed the Fu Lushou group.

"Youth, Peace!" is the first feature-length work directed by Xu Xiaoming, who also made "Last Winter" in 1995, starring Wei Xiaohui and Xi Xiang. This Xu Xiaoming is not the Hong Kong director Xu Xiaoming.

In 1997, Director Xu Xiaoming’s "Looking Home" won several international awards.

Xu Xiaoming has since supervised the production of a number of well-known Chinese-language films, such as "Seventeen-Year-Old Bike," "Love You and Love Me," "Blue Door," and "Love in May," starring Liu Yifei and Chen Bolin in 2004, is his most recent feature film.

After "Love in May", Xu Xiaoming worked in films in mainland China, and was the producer of several Chinese business cards, such as "Second Brother", "Court on Horseback", "Rizhao Chongqing", "My Tang Dynasty Brothers", "Summer Unspeakable" and so on. In the 2020 hit documentary "Stick! Youth", Xu Xiaoming served as the editing director of the film together with Liao Qingsong and Zhou Qiang.

"Young Man, Peace!" was produced by Mr. Zhang Huakun, known as "Brother Kun," who was also the producer of Hou Hsiao-hsien’s early and mid-term films, including the most important and best-known "Sad City," "Childhood Past," "People from the Air Cabinet," "Love the Wind and Dust." Zhang Huakun died in December 2020 at the age of 67.

Zhang Huakun discovered and led Gao Jie to debut from "Daughter of the Nile".

Looking forward to the early restoration of this movie!

The ninth issue of "Light Up Futian", the host talks to the main creator of "Emergency Rescue"

The host talks to the model worker

  This year is a special year. In the face of the sudden COVID-19 epidemic, the lofty qualities of giving up a small family for everyone, talking about loyalty, courage to sacrifice, and dedication have been reflected in countless people. From those who are retrograde on the medical and scientific research front, to those who are on duty in the front line of epidemic prevention and control in communities and towns, to those who are struggling to ensure the basic life of the people, whether they are on the front line of anti-epidemic or not, they are all based on ordinary jobs, adhere to their beliefs, and work hard to achieve extraordinary achievements in protecting people’s health and safety.

  On the evening of December 22, "The ninth issue of’Lighting up Futian ‘: Struggle to interpret life, art lighting up Futian" met with the public as scheduled at the 116th floor of the Cloud Sightseeing Floor of Shenzhen Ping An Financial Center. This event invited national model workers Chen Chun, Shenzhen model workers Liu Zhiwen, Yu Yang, and the director of the movie "Emergency Rescue" Lin Chaoxian, actors Peng Yuyan and Wang Yanlin as dialogue guests. Gao Dawei, member of the Standing Committee of Futian District Committee and Minister of Propaganda Department, Xie Xi, executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the District Committee, Feng Jing, general manager and executive deputy editor of Jingbao Media Co., Ltd., chairperson of Bona Film Industry, Yu Dong, district two offices, district propaganda department, district urban management and comprehensive law enforcement bureau, public security bureau, Futian street office, district federation of trade unions, Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Shenzhen Hospital, Ping An Group, Jingbao Media, Bona Film Industry and other relevant leaders and employees attended the event.

  Understand the heroic feelings and convey the power of struggle

  "Today we are gathered here to pay tribute to the laborers and the strugglers. Of course, every ordinary person should have a dream in his heart and work hard for his dream." In his speech, Gao Dawei said that a batch of model workers and advanced workers have emerged in all walks of life in the jurisdiction. They have created extraordinary achievements in ordinary positions, and have interpreted the valuable qualities of dedication, dedication, innovation and pursuit of excellence with practical actions. As a "first-class area", Futian needs to set an example, vigorously promote the spirit of labor, and continue to write extraordinary stories in ordinary positions, so that the people’s sense of acquisition is better, the sense of happiness is more sustainable, and the sense of security is more secure.

  The movie’Emergency Rescue ‘is the first Chinese-language film about maritime rescue, telling the story of real-life "superheroes" in China who rescue people from danger and come forward. "Due to the pandemic, the movie’Emergency Rescue’ has been delayed until the end of the year," said Yu Dong. "When we watch this movie again, we will have a new understanding of life. I think the movie can heal people’s hearts and comfort their hearts, and I hope that in the cold late winter, it can bring a touch of warmth to every audience affected by the epidemic."

  Speaking about the original intention of making the film, director Lin Chaoxian said that in the face of nature, people are always so insignificant. Rescue is a race against time and life. The rescue of people in "Emergency Rescue" is a group of ordinary people who will still choose to rescue themselves in the face of natural disasters. "The rescue spirit of’giving the hope of life to others and leaving the danger of death to themselves’ is so great, and I admire them very much. It has always been my wish to make a movie about the little-known story of rescuing people and let them enter the public eye."

  In this film, actor Peng Yuyan breaks through the style of the previous "big sunshine boy" and challenges himself to play a father, who is also a rescuer. Peng Yuyan said that the director wanted to present a rescuer with real emotions. In order to play this role well, he worked hard in the early stage to restore the image of his father. "This shooting experience has given me a deeper understanding of the role of father, and it can be regarded as a new challenge."

  Actor Wang Yanlin shared the director’s experience of diving 30 meters underwater with the actors to take the shot in person in order to get the best effect during the shooting: "Team hard work has taught me the meaning of courage and perseverance, and those who persevere until the end can be blessed by’Lucky Muse ‘. Thank you for the power of the hero’s example, and thank you to the crew for giving us the opportunity to play the hero."

  Model workers share stories of their struggles in the workplace

  A hero is a benchmark, a group of heroes is a plateau, and the power of example is infinite and eternal. For heroes and heroic spirit, the best learning is practice, and the best tribute is inheritance.

  Not long ago, at the 2020 Shenzhen Model Worker and Advanced Collective Commendation Conference, National Model Worker Chen Chun, Shenzhen Model Worker Liu Zhiwen, and Yu Yang were honored. The three model workers shared with the guests and citizens their stories of sticking to their positions, working hard and harvesting "happiness" in ordinary positions.

  Liu Zhiwen, deputy chief of the Zhuzilin Fire Rescue Station of the Futian District Fire Rescue Brigade, recalled that he was involved in an emergency rescue operation in a sewer and underground river. At that time, the water flow at the scene was fast and the rescuers could not stand still. Under harsh conditions, he and his teammates searched for nearly 10 hours before finally rescuing the workers who were swept away. "Although I was also very scared in that situation, as a firefighter, I had to rush to the front line."

  Chen Chun, a deliveryman at SF Express, talks about how happy he is when customers affectionately call him "the courier guy". "The recognition of customers has made me feel valuable. By working hard in an ordinary position, I have been praised by customers and taken on family responsibilities, which makes me feel very happy."

  Yu Yang, the first medical worker in Futian District and a nurse at the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Shenzhen Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, postponed the wedding, cut off her long hair and took the initiative to go to Leishenshan to support at the height of the epidemic. "Patients in Leishenshan do not have access to family members, only healthcare workers can be contacted," she said. "When I take care of one person, it is equivalent to taking care of a family. The satisfaction of patients gives me a great sense of honor."

  "Struggle to interpret life, art lights up Futian" theme light up

  "5, 4, 3, 2, 1…" With the on-site guests and citizens counting down in unison, at 7 o’clock that night, the leaders and guests attending the event pressed the start button together, and the theme lights of "Struggle to perform life, art lights up Futian" were played synchronously in 9 buildings in the central area, and the scene was broadcast synchronously on the canopy. At the end of the ceremony, the "Emergency Rescue" crew presented pennants to the three model workers, and at the same time, the six guests were also awarded "Light Up Certificates".

  It is understood that "Lighting up Futian" is a large-scale lighting event for the light show in the central area of Shenzhen under the guidance of the Futian District Committee Government, sponsored by the Propaganda Department of the Futian District Committee, and undertaken by the Crystal Newspaper Office of Shenzhen Newspaper Group. In the past, every event would invite big coffee as "lighting people" to share their inspirational life stories with the guests and citizens, and light up the colorful and picturesque lights in the central area of Shenzhen. Lu Jianxin, MacFarlane, Dan Zhaoyi, Lang Lang and Gina, Lu Siqing, city builders, anti-epidemic retrograde people, Fang Jinlong, educators, Pu Cunxin… All names are brilliant. Not long ago, "Light Up Futian" was awarded the "Top Ten Creative Projects" of the 17th Shenzhen Caring Action, which refreshed the image of Futian as the "first good district" and the "main living room of the city".
