Tencent’s DNF is no longer on the shelves of some Android stores, causing high channel costs for game companies

K Figure 00700_0

  Domestic Android channel pairThe issue of high product share has attracted attention again.

  The reason is that Tencent’s recent hit mobile game "Dungeons and Warriors: Origins" announced that from June 20, some Android platform app stores will no longer be listed. The industry believes that Tencent’s move is related to the long-standing high proportion of Android app stores.

  Head Drop Android Channel

  "Dungeon and Warrior: Origin" (hereinafter referred to as "DNF") is a popular mobile game recently launched by Tencent. As a work derived from the classic IP of "Dungeon and Warrior", "DNF" has performed well since its launch.

  According to seven wheat data, "DNF" since late May online, long-term top the chart of major games. Point data, "DNF" contributed more than two-thirds of the domestic new game market in May, less than two weeks in May, "DNF" download more than 45 million, estimated revenue of $51.29 million (about RMB 371 million).

  At the beginning of the launch of "DNF", it was normally available in major app stores including Android channels. However, on the afternoon of June 19, the game operation team issued an announcement that from June 20, "DNF" mobile games will no longer be available in some Android platform app stores. The reason given by the team is: the contract expires.

  However, Tencent Games’ move is believed to be related to the high proportion of the Android app store channel. The app store is a core channel for game distribution, but it is also a costly channel.

  At present, many domestic game products use a joint operation model between game manufacturers and channel providers such as mobile end point manufacturers and third-party app platforms. Game manufacturers are responsible for game development and testing, launch, and channel providers are responsible for providing game display promotion, download and installation, and billing services. When players complete the payment, the channel provider will pay the game developer a revenue share.

  The app store generally takes 30% for applications including games. The Android app store channel that makes manufacturers "love it or hate it" takes a higher proportion, and the general proportion is 50%, that is, after deducting relevant costs and expenses, the game flow and the game manufacturer each get 50%.

  Although leading game companies have some room for gaming, the data previously disclosed by many class A share game companies shows that the app store should also divide at least 40% of the game flow. Under the high proportion of the draw, in recent years, many game manufacturers have chosen to give up the release of Android app stores, especially some well-known game products with high flow.

  A few years ago, the two major game makers, miHoYo and Lilith, announced that due to "failure to reach an agreed terms of cooperation", miHoYo’s blockbuster products "Yuan Shen" and Lilith’s products "The Awakening of Nations" could not be downloaded from Xiaomi and Huawei app stores during the public beta.

  Last August 23rd,When the public beta of its key game "All-Star Streetball Party" was released, the official announcement did not put any Android channels on the shelves, and decided to take out the 1.50 billion yuan divided into channels and give rebates to players present on all major platforms. Other products under Tencent Games are currently on the shelves of major Android app stores, but DNF, a key product, will no longer be on the Android app store, which will still have a profound impact.

  Game company channels are expensive

  The Android app store has long been criticized by the industry. Although game makers have taken occasional measures such as delisting, they have not changed the industry landscape.

  The product manager of an app store of a domestic mobile phone manufacturerTimes E Company reporters analyzed that for app stores, games and other applications are the most important source of revenue. In addition to directly receiving game revenue, there are also advertising and bidding ranking revenue from game manufacturers. Games occupy an important position in the app store ecosystem.

  Shi Jiangang, the co-founder of Liangjianghu, also said in an interview with the Times reporter that the current share ratio is determined by the location of the channel provider, which naturally has the ability to negotiate prices. The reason why the app store is strong is mainly because it can push game products to users at almost zero cost, and the value created for the game is huge, which cannot be replaced by other methods.

  In this context, except for some relatively strong game products that can be released through their own channels and generate good revenue, most games are still difficult to leave the app store channel.

  From the data disclosed by many game companies, channel costs are indeed an important part of the operating costs of game companies. Such as class A sharing companyThe financial report shows that the company’s joint operators will deduct the actual recharge amount of game players from the relevant channel fees, and calculate the share according to the proportion agreed upon in the agreement. After the two parties check the data and confirm that it is correct, the company confirms the operating income.

  In 2022 and 2023, the channel cost in the operating cost will be 257 million yuan and 214 million yuan respectively, accounting for 45% and 52% of the operating cost respectively, which is much higher than the cost of game sharing, labor, copyright, and production fee amortization in the same period.

  Hong Kong Stock CompanyAccording to the financial report, in 2023, the company’s channel cost was 595 million yuan, an increase of 35% year-on-year, accounting for more than 70% of the company’s cost of sales. In 2023, the gross profit margin fell from 64.4% in the previous year to 59.8%. The company said that the decline in gross profit margin was mainly due to the decline in related game revenue and the increase in channel costs.

  Another Hong Kong-listed game companyThe financial report shows that in 2023, the company’s sales revenue will increase, but the company’s payment channel cost and distribution platform share will also increase by 23.8% to 523 million yuan, which is also the "big part" of the sales cost in 2023.

Quality and service frequently become "bad points" community group buying pain points need to be cracked

Hubei Daily full media reporter, Li Chaoxia

During the epidemic in 2020, community e-commerce emerged suddenly. For a while, "online order, contactless delivery, fixed-point self-pickup" has become a new model for many families to buy food. From fresh food to condiments to daily general merchandise, all kinds of group buying have followed. JD.com, Meituan, Pinduoduo and other Internet Tech Giants have entered the market, which has affected the current pattern and pattern of fresh consumption to a certain extent.

At present, while community group buying is still red, professional fresh food e-commerce represented by Missfresh and simple shopping is rapidly rising, traditional vegetable markets and life supermarkets are constantly being upgraded, and fresh sales formats of different business models meet different levels and different needs of consumers.

How is the development of community group buying? What are the advantages and disadvantages? How is the consumer experience? Recently, Hubei Daily full media reporters conducted a visit and investigation.

Shop owner "has several groups"

"Did the dishes you bought yesterday arrive?"

At 11 o’clock on April 14, Wuchang District Wuzhong Pearl Garden Community Xinminxin non-staple food store, a small space placed in a small variety of snacks, seasonings and other goods, yellow, blue and green on the ground in the storage basket piled up with all kinds of group buying goods.

The head of the group, Du Dongmei, sorted out the group buying goods that had just been delivered, and transferred the milk and other goods that needed to be stored at low temperature to the refrigerator. From time to time, community residents came to pick up the goods.

"At the same time, she is the head of five platforms including Jingxi, Hema and Meituan." Du Dongmei introduced that she and her husband are the head of the group while running the non-staple food store. Before the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in 2019, the husband and wife began to contact community group buying, and have now "held several groups".

Reporters visited and found that as community group buying blossomed everywhere, many shops such as Cainiao Post Station, convenience stores, community supermarkets, dry cleaners, etc. became community group buying self-pickup points while operating their main business. The goods bought by residents’ groups are mainly fresh, and the platform distributes and after-sales goods uniformly. The head of the group is responsible for collecting and distributing the goods.

"The head of the group needs a fixed place to place the goods to deal with the uncertainty of the weather, and the residents have different pickup times, so they need to keep an eye on it for a long time." Du Dongmei introduced that considering the cost, "shop + group buying self-pickup point" is the more common operating model at present.

"Buying more food is cheap, and the quality of the box horse is good." Du Dongmei and his wife have rich experience in community group buying. They believe that the main reasons why residents in this community choose group buying are two: there is no fresh supermarket in the community; group buying price is favorable.

According to reports, similar self-pickup points have a WeChat group of more than 100 people, and the staff or heads of each platform will release preferential information from time to time, and consumers will only consult the order logistics and after-sales situation.

"Don’t look at the dozens of orders on just one platform, but most of the transactions are only a few yuan or more than ten yuan." Du Dongmei said frankly that there are more and more heads of delegation now, and there are two in this community. The order volume is not as large as before, and the commission is getting lower and lower. "It’s really getting harder and harder to do. Once, the commission for an order of 50 yuan was only a few cents."

Radish and cabbage have their own loves

The reporter observed in Xinminxin non-staple food store that most of the people who came to pick up the goods in the morning were fathers and mothers-in-law in the community. Du Dongmei introduced that as the head of the team, she mainly serves young office workers and the elderly.

"It’s mainly cheap," Shi, a resident of the community, told reporters. She orders three to four times a week, and community group buying has become the main way for her and her wife to buy food.

For post-90s office worker Xiao Zhang, community group buying can save the time and labor cost of going to the farmers’ market or supermarket to buy vegetables, and it is cheaper than fresh food e-commerce. "Just move your finger to place an order and pick it up at the pick-up point when you get off work the next day."

When it comes to shopping, consumers’ needs are diverse and scattered. Young people care about convenience and time saving, while the elderly care more about freshness and low prices.

There is a basket of life supermarkets in Yuyuan Community, Chutian City, Wuchang District. Every afternoon, the vegetables are bought by the middle-aged and elderly groups in the community. Tingting, a clerk, said: "The store is also a community group buying self-pickup point for three e-commerce platforms. There are only three or four orders a day for many times. On the contrary, we often use group buying to supplement daily necessities such as seasonings because of discounts."

Unlike the elderly who buy food first and then decide on the menu, young people mostly decide on the menu first and then place targeted orders. Xiaojin, a post-95 consumer, said: "Every time I think about what to cook before buying ingredients, it is more suitable to place an order online."

Consumer demand is constantly being subdivided, with different requirements for different formats. Obviously, the development direction of fresh retail is mainly to clarify service segments.

The problem of preservation is unavoidable

Despite the huge differentiation in the way people buy food, personal preferences vary and preferences change from time to time, which also makes the community group buying market usher in a round of reshuffle.

Last year, food enjoyment, orange heart selection, ten Hui group and other brands have completely shut down related business, the rise of community group buying under the special background of epidemic prevention and control, continuous industry shock.

The reporter learned in the interview that while pursuing price concessions, people’s requirements for quality are increasing day by day. As a daily consumer product, fresh food is consumed with high frequency and fast consumption speed, but there are many links in the fresh supply chain, long chain and large loss, so it is difficult to avoid how to keep "fresh".

Many citizens believe that community groups buying orders can only be "accepted as ordered", unable to select and select goods on the spot, and the delivery time of goods cannot be standardized. Many fresh products cannot be maintained after delivery.

In addition, quality, service, and after-sales issues also pose pain points.

Consumer Xiao Wang reported that he had bought unripe cantaloupe and slightly moldy leafy vegetables, and also lost quick-frozen French fries. Because the goods were only "left" on the overhead floor of the negative first floor of the community every time, and he never met the head of the team, the after-sales problem was settled.

According to industry analysts, the consumption model of "reservation + self-pickup" is doomed to the disadvantage of community group buying in terms of shopping timeliness and experience. Its biggest strength is low price, which comes from the reduced loss rate in the distribution process and the subsidy of the platform. In order to enhance the stickiness of old users and grab new users, many platforms often launch ultra-low price panic buying activities. When low price becomes the main competitiveness of the platform, the price fluctuation of other channels will affect the sales volume of the platform, and the order profit is extremely low, and even the transit warehouse and logistics costs cannot be covered.

Relevant experts said that the platform should return to the essence of the retail industry, make every effort to build a fresh supply chain system, provide consumers with guaranteed and quality products; use data, capital, technology and other advantages to fully cooperate with the upstream manufacturers to improve the business chain operating efficiency; fully empower local suppliers and heads, differentiate the operation of regional community group buying business, and ensure the stable development of the regional market.

Lei Jun’s speech is here again! New goal: to reach the top of the world in three years; recall the original: to be trained by investors as a primary school student

In the just-concluded Lei Jun annual speech, Lei Jun will tell everyone about his entrepreneurial journey, the 10 most difficult choices, and the most frustrating day in the past decade.

When it comes to Xiaomi’s listing, Lei Jun told a few short stories.

The first is pricing and breaking. In his speech, Lei Jun recalled the situation of Xiaomi’s listing breaking. In early 2018, after repeated discussions, Xiaomi finally confirmed its listing in Hong Kong. At that time, the investment bank gave a valuation of 17 Hong Kong dollars to 22 Hong Kong dollars per share.

Lei Jun said, "Almost all entrepreneurs will choose to be more expensive without hesitation.We did not hesitate to choose the lowest price because we want Xiaomi’s stock to be as well-priced as our productsOur wishes are so beautiful and simple, but the reality has disappointed us a bit. "

Xiaomi Group share price

"On July 9, 2018, the much-anticipated Xiaomi IPO came, with more than 600 people in attendance. This was the first company in Hong Kong with the same shares and different rights, so everyone was very excited at that time, hoping that the stock price would skyrocket as soon as it opened. In such an atmosphere, the market opened, and the result broke," Lei Jun said.

Lei Jun said that he and Xiaomi co-founder Lin Bin hid in the utility room of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at the time. At the thank you banquet, Lei Jun said: "I’m sorry everyone, but we will work hard to make IPO investors at least double their profits."

On September 2, 2019, when Xiaomi Group’s Hong Kong stock price fell to HK $8.28,Compared with the IPO price, it has been halved. At that time, almost everyone was about to collapse, and some even thought it would fall to HK $4.

"During that time, I was particularly reluctant to meet investors. One investor insisted on meeting me. As soon as he sat down, he only exchanged pleasantries for a few rounds, and he said rudely, how did you make me lose so much money? I really don’t know how you did it.From Xiaomi’s strategy, to Xiaomi’s products, to Xiaomi’s management, he trained me as a primary school student for more than an hour.My shirt was wet at the time. After the meeting, I sat alone in the conference room for a long time. At that moment, I was very desperate. "

After bottoming out, Xiaomi’s share price began a year and a half-long rally, hitting 35.9 Hong Kong dollars at the beginning of this year, which is double the issue price.

Lei Jun said, "After the share price of Xiaomi doubled compared to the IPO price, I had no pressure. I uninstalled the stock trading software such as Futu, Tiger Finance, Flush, Great Wisdom, Snowball, and Optional Stocks, and never watched it again".

"From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person, feed horses, chop firewood, and travel the world." Lei Jun said, this is how he felt at the time.

Lei Jun Releases Xiaomi Mi Mix 4Xiaomi wants to become the first in the world in three years

This evening, Lei Jun also released the latest work to explore the field of black technology – Xiaomi MIX4.

Under the trend of more and more homogeneity in the performance and appearance of smartphones, differentiation has become a breakthrough point that mobile phone manufacturers are competing for. After taking advantage of the ultimate cost performance and MIUI to capture the city, Xiaomi knows that whether it is to enhance the brand, attack the high-end market, or remain competitive in the fierce mobile phone market, it needs to come up with "black technology" that can better impress consumers.

In 2016, Xiaomi launched the first full-screen concept phone, Xiaomi MIX, officially launching the journey to explore black technology.

Many people call Sharp’s AQUOS phone the pioneer of the full screen. Indeed, in terms of form, Xiaomi MIX is similar to it. If Sharp’s AQUOS phone is the pioneer of the three-sided borderless, then Xiaomi MIX should be regarded as the leader of the "full screen". Whether it is a full screen or not, the screen ratio is the most intuitive indicator. The screen ratio of Xiaomi MIX reached 93.1%, and the screen ratio of the general mobile phone was only about 70% at that time.

In order to achieve the effect of full screen, Xiaomi MIX cancelled the traditional earpiece and replaced it with a cantilever beam piezoelectric ceramic acoustic system. The front-facing camera was reduced by 50% and moved under the phone, and the fingerprint was unlocked on the back. From the front, the impact of the whole screen of Xiaomi MIX really made people have infinite reverie about the "full screen" at that time.

Due to its pioneering full-screen design, the Mi MIX was permanently collected by the Finnish National Design Museum, becoming the first Chinese product in the museum’s collection and the first modern smartphone.

In terms of appearance, Xiaomi MIX2 inherits the design of the MIX 1. In order to increase the grip, it persuaded Google to use an 18:9 screen ratio. At the same time, the ceramic back cover on the MIX 1 was upgraded to a Unibody integrated ceramic body, optimizing the look and feel of the full screen.

MIX 3 is another attempt by Xiaomi to explore the full screen, combining magnetic power with the slide structure, and the magnetic power slide rail design has also made Xiaomi MIX 3 jokingly called "decompression artifact" by netizens.

The Xiaomi MIX Alpha completely broke through the boundaries of the full screen, and the surround screen design made the entire body wrapped by the screen lock, with a screen ratio of 180.6%. However, the difficulty of mass production of this phone is too great, and it is still only in the concept stage.

The release of Xiaomi MIX 4 this time still represents Xiaomi’s exploration on the road to full screen.

In order to make the front screen more complete, Xiaomi MIX4 uses a CUP full screen, which hides the front-facing camera under the screen, which is commonly known as the under-screen camera technology. The technical difficulty of the under-screen camera is how to improve the light transmittance of the screen to ensure that the camera is not disturbed by the screen when working. Xiaomi MIX4’s approach is to use micro-drill arrangement and transparent leads, and redesign the circuit layout so that light can pass through the pixels.

The whole screen is a 6.67-inch AMOLED micro-curved flexible screen, technical indicators, 10bit primary color screen, TureTone display, Dolby Vision, equipped with Hamanka audio, to ensure a comprehensive experience of vision and hearing.

At the press conference, Xiaomi also released the Xiaomi tablet series that has not been updated for a long time – Xiaomi iPad 5, Xiaomi Sound high fidelity audio, Xiaomi TV Master 77 ?? OLED, Xiaomi TV 6 OLED version, CyberDog bionic quadruped robot and other new products.

Seven years ago, at the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, the high-spirited Lei Jun publicly expressed Xiaomi’s dream: "In five to ten years, Xiaomi will be the first in the world." Bruce Sewell, senior vice-president of Apple, who was present, said: "It’s easy to say, it’s much more difficult to do." The audience laughed.

The host at that time immediately asked Lei Jun what he planned to do, and Lei Jun replied with a sentence from Ma Yun: What if it is realized?

Seven years later, according to the data of the world’s four major data institutions, Xiaomi’s mobile phone sales in Q2 2021 increased by 83% year-on-year, with a market share of 17%, surpassing Apple to become the second largest in the world and becoming the first Chinese brand to reach the top of the European market.

17% market share, to take a more intuitive example, in the second quarter, every six smartphones sold globally, one was Xiaomi. The growth in performance has also made Xiaomi on the Fortune Global 500 list for three consecutive years, ranking 338 in 2021, up 84 places.

In today’s speech, Lei Jun also announced Xiaomi’s next goal:In three years, he won the first place in the world.

If you do a simple calculation, you will find that if "the world’s first in three years" really becomes a reality, then Lei Jun’s "five to ten years, Xiaomi will be the world’s first" statement will really come true. Maybe just as Lei Jun said seven years ago that Xiaomi would be the world’s first, the audience and the guests on the stage laughed, and today some people will still laugh at Lei Jun’s "three years of world first". The difference is that now more people may start to believe that this may really become a reality.

To this day, there are still many people who think that Xiaomi mobile phones are not so good and not worth spending so much money, but the fact is that more and more people choose Xiaomi. Xiaomi’s success may be seen in the final part of today’s press conference.

Ten years ago, Xiaomi Mobile Phone 1 went on sale, priced at 1999 yuan, and sold 184,600 units, totaling 370 million yuan. This is Xiaomi’s first income. It is with this income that today’s Xiaomi has become. To thank the first batch of Xiaomi mobile phone users, Xiaomi gave them a red envelope of 1999 yuan each to thank them for their help to Xiaomi.

Do you think Xiaomi’s mobile phone can surpass Apple and Samsung to become the number one in the world?

In the movie "Assassination of the Novelist", there is an actor you haven’t seen before, Yang Mi


1905 movie network feature "It’s really good not to be sweet!"

 

Talking about the role of "Tu Ling" in the Spring Festival movie, he sighed.


She used three words to describe "slaughtering spirits":Courageous, able to fight, very authentic.


This "cool" character is also the reason why Yang Mi chose to work with the director again.

 

As of press time, "Assassination Novelist" has achieved 300 million box office, ranking third in the Spring Festival. Douban scored 7.1 points, a good reputation.

 


In the face of the first big screen "villain", how did Yang Mi perform the "ruthlessness" and "Sa" of Tu Ling? What "sober" speeches did Yang Mi, who can be called a "golden sentence maker" recently, make?

"Slayer Spirit"  


"I’ve always wanted to design a woman who can punch an actor."Lu Yang analyzed the creative path of the character Tu Ling in this way.


"Thoughtful, dual-business, extremely rational and calm" is the director’s positioning of Tu Ling, which also made him think of Yang Mi, who had worked with him.


At that time, Yang Mi was filming in Shanghai, and Lu Yang and the producer flew to Shanghai, and the two sides hit it off as soon as they had a "meal". There was no need for too much politeness between old partners, and "trust in the director and the team" was the first criterion for Yang Mi to choose a role.

 

After 18 years of debut and more than 20 films, "Tu Ling" was Yang Mi’s first "villain" on the big screen, and she also excavated a strong side that contrasted greatly with her previous roles."No need to be sweet, no need to fall in love with an actor, it’s really cool."



Although she was a villain, Tu Ling was not all bad. The trauma of being abandoned by her parents in her childhood and the gradual awakening of her inner conscience all interwoven into her complex human nature, which also gave her a richer level of character.

 

Yang Mi explained, "No one’s good or bad can be easily defined. I think Tu Ling is a very real girl. She has always followed her own values and done what she thinks is right."



Tu Ling not only allowed Yang Mi to contribute the villain’s debut, but also allowed her to challenge the difficult real-life action scenes. The most difficult part of the play was the physical training before the shooting, and Yang Mi also entered the group early and rehearsed all the action scenes in advance.

 

Continuous high-intensity training, Yang Mi describes "every day my legs are like lead", the muscles are so stiff that she can’t feel it, and even the 90kg martial arts instructor stepped on the legs to help relax the muscles, she didn’t feel it at all, "It’s so perverted, I feel a little unreasonable."

In the movie, the climax fight scene staged in the library made many viewers hooked. Yang Mi continuously completed side kicks, fights, and somersaults, leaping from behind and riding on his opponent’s neck, and finally being kicked heavily on the cabinet in one go.


In the special, Yang Mi was kicked in the stomach by his opponent over and over again, and fell to the ground violently. netizens commented: "I feel pain through the screen," but this is the norm behind the scenes of "Assassination Novelist".


According to Yang Mi, 97% of the action scenes are performed in person, without the use of stuntmen. Asked why she insisted on doing it herself, she simply replied lightly: "I can do it… When I look back, it looks pretty good, and I think fortunately I did it myself."

 

"Breakthrough"


"Assassination of the Novelist" is hard enough and enjoyable enough, but this is not the first time Yang Mi has shown his skills on the big screen.

 

There used to be intensive fighting scenes in Zhongdu, and Yang Mi also won the Jackie Chan Action Movie Week Best Actress Award by virtue of the latter’s recognition.


"Reverse Time Rescue" stills

 

Although the overall quality of "Reverse Time Rescue" is mediocre and has a poor reputation, Yang Mi’s one-person role in the triangle as a single mother and a large number of selfless high-altitude melee scenes is still impressive.

 

Producer Jackie Chan also praised Yang Mi’s transformation, "When I saw Yang Mi in a scene at the garbage disposal station, I had to work hard. I heard from the staff that she was injured a lot, and she really grew up!"

"I am a Witness", which is also known for its fist-to-flesh action scenes and brain-burning plots, was once regarded as Yang Mi’s big-screen transformation.

 

In it, she plays Lu Xiaoxing, a police intern who goes blind by accident. She loses a loved one due to her own fault and tries to find a light in the darkness of self-blame and despair. Yang Mi once bluntly said that Lu Xiaoxing is the role she has been waiting for for for a long time.



Before this, Yang Mi’s image had always been a silly white and sweet character with big backlights, long eyelashes, and soft light with its own filters, because she was well known to audiences for the ancient costume idol dramas and the "Tiny Times" series. Therefore, she cherished this blind girl who was a little "rough". She appeared without makeup, regardless of her hairstyle, and deliberately lowered her voice, "This roughness is the texture of this character."

 

Before the shoot, Yang Mi went into the blind experience museum many times to feel, went to the blind massage therapist’s home to consult and observe the details of the blind’s life, and tried to approach the role in psychological state, "Blind people are very passive, when dealing with some things, their desire to protect will be very strong, especially the acquired blindness, it is easy to have an extreme tendency to commit suicide."


The title of "I Am a Witness" was also Yang Mi’s state of mind at that time. "I hope everyone can witness my sincerity and attitude towards acting, as well as my confidence in becoming a good actor."

 

If "I am a Witness" is the first step on the road to transformation, then starring in a realist literary film three years later would be even more subversive for Yang Mi.

 


She plays Jiang Meng, a congenitally disabled cleaning lady, who speaks Nanjing dialect, wipes her face black and yellow, lights freckles, and doesn’t see the appearance of "the most beautiful woman in the four seas and eight wilderness" at all.

 

The most the director ever said to Yang Mi was "come for real". Before filming started, he threw Yang Mi a dress of more than 100 yuan and asked her not to comb her hair, wear her hair, and wander around the farmers market until no one recognized her.



When filming, there was no script, only a story outline. Yang Mi was forced to give the truest reaction on the spot, just like "when the real situation in life is approaching".

 

This was a brand new experience for Yang Mi and a huge test. After countless setbacks, she gradually found out Jiang Meng’s sick and stubborn way of walking, the stubborn state of always looking directly into people’s glasses and talking, and constantly tried to approach the director’s warning:"To truly become Jiang Meng, everything must be the truest reaction."

It is a pity that after a long period of preparation and multiple reshoots, the final word-of-mouth and box office of "Baby" did not meet expectations.Just like Yang Mi’s road to the big screen, it is always accompanied by doubts and controversies, but it always lacks the courage to keep trying.

 

Now, when it comes to "breakthrough", Yang Mi’s answer is very calm, "Breakthrough or no breakthrough is for others to see, I think the work is good-looking, this is more important. I will not break through for the sake of breakthrough, but do it with a sense of ritual."

 

"Sober"

Entering the industry at the age of 4, becoming the "youngest star girl" at the age of 5, acting in "Condor Heroes" at the age of 18, and "Dream of Red Mansions" at the age of 22. With his good appearance and smart temperament, Yang Mi’s star journey can be described as smooth.

 

In the 06 version of "The Condor Heroes", Yang Mi played Guo Xiang


On the small screen, from "Legend of Immortal Sword and Fairy 3" to "Palace Lock Heart Jade" to "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom", Yang Mi has always been a hit maker in the "Four Little Flowers".

Weibo has more than 100 million fans. Long before the word "traffic" became popular, Yang Mi was already a well-deserved top-class, but it was also accompanied by never-ending topics and controversies, related to acting skills, appearance and personality.



Ten years ago, in the face of "scolding", Yang Mi once posted: "Kill me if you have the ability, if you can’t kill me, just wait for me to become stronger." But now, what she exudes is more calm and comfortable after seeing the wind and waves.

 

Just as in a recent program, Yang Mi responded to the black fans by saying:"Everyone who scolds you is an arrow borrowed by the straw boat. Let’s wait until the east wind blows."


After many years of working together again, even those who had publicly criticized Yang Mi’s acting could not help but sigh: whether it was acting or all aspects, Yang Mi had matured, "now it feels like a big actor".


Recently, because of the performance in the female monologue drama "Hear Her Say: Perfect Girl" produced by the producer, the topic of "Yang Mi’s acting skills" once again hit the hot search, and it was rare to receive a lot of praise.

 

Yang Mi plays an artificial intelligence robot Xiao Ai built with "perfect standards", and uses more than ten minutes of monologue in the mirror to gradually convey "Xiao Ai" from ignorance and ignorance to confusion and helplessness when hurt.


Director Zhao Wei recalled that when casting, she wanted to find a candidate who matched Xiao Ai’s appearance, figure, and acting skills. "Except for Yang Mi, I really can’t find a second person."

 

But in Yang Mi’s opinion, the word "perfect" may not have anything to do with herself. She once said with self-deprecation: "I am too accustomed to failure from childhood to adulthood. It is not a matter of three days, a small somersault, and five days, a big somersault. Do you not move forward if you fall?"

 

Lu Yang said that "Assassination Novelist" explores "possibility", and Yang Mi’s breakthrough in self-interpretation of "Slaughtering the Spirit" just allowed him to see this. This must be one of the reasons why Yang Mi chose Slaughtering the Spirit.

 

At the end of the interview, we asked her what she thought of her new nickname – "Awake on Earth".

 

Yang Mi also output the golden sentence again:"When you don’t get enough sleep, should you be sleepy or sleepy? These comments are given by others."

  The original title: Covering three categories: takeaway, in-store, and elderly care and disability assistance, boosting the continued recovery of the consumer market 100 million yuan food and beverage consumption coupons were issued yesterday

  From 10:00 am on July 18, Beijing issued food and beverage consumption coupons to consumers in the city. The government and platform enterprises that provide food and beverage services jointly funded and launched three consumption coupons of takeaway, in-store, and elderly care and disability assistance for a total of 100 million yuan, which benefited consumers and catering enterprises in Beijing. On the first day of the issuance of food and beverage consumption coupons, the public’s enthusiasm for receiving coupons for consumption was high, which further improved the popularity of restaurants.

  70,000 Catering Merchants Participate

  There are more than 70,000 catering merchants participating in this event, covering all kinds of catering scenarios such as dinner, fast food, hot pot, baking, tea and so on. There are two denominations of take-away and in-store consumption coupons, namely 15 yuan coupons for "over 50 yuan minus 15 yuan" and 30 yuan coupons for "over 100 yuan minus 30 yuan". The exclusive consumption coupons for elderly people with disabilities are aimed at low unit price, inconvenience in using mobile phones, eating in the store and self-pickup.

After the coupon is successfully grabbed, it can be used in offline merchants with consumption coupon verification function and in the consumption scene of Meituan platform. Consumers can click on the "Merchant List List" in the event page to view the specific merchant list.

  To get the coupon on the same day, you need to place an order for dining on the same day.

  The issuance rules of catering consumption coupons this time are different from the past. During the event, consumers in Beijing can receive catering consumption coupons every day. Each person can receive 1 takeaway consumption coupon package and 1 in-store consumption coupon package on each platform. A maximum of 2 coupons can be received in a single day, with a total of 4 consumption coupons. Each consumption coupon is limited to 1 time in a single day.

Meituan data shows that only 6 minutes after the Beijing catering consumption coupon was launched, all four denominations of catering consumption coupons on the platform have been received, of which the "100 minus 30 yuan" consumption coupon was sold out in just 68 seconds. Two hours after the coupon was launched, the number of orders for food packages and vouchers on the Meituan platform increased rapidly by more than 83% compared with the previous week.

  Restaurant traffic rises and discounts are discounted

  Consumers are spending with coupons, which has also led to a rise in restaurant traffic. At noon on July 18, in the Rose Garden self-service barbecue Yangqiao store, eye-catching offline posters have been placed on each dining table, reminding consumers to get consumption coupons online first and then place an order for group buying packages to enjoy discounts. "I obviously feel that the traffic counting in the store has increased due to the consumption coupons," said Pan Hua, head of the self-service barbecue business of Rose Garden.

  The fast verification speed of consumption coupons reflects the strong consumption willingness and consumption motivation of citizens. The issuance of consumption coupons will also further promote the recovery of the Beijing catering market. Meituan data shows that in the last week, the online transaction volume of in-store catering, including packages, vouchers, and self-pickup in stores, increased by 82% compared with the same period in June. Beijing dine consumption is gradually picking up. (Ma Jing, Yang Tianyue)

Meituan responds to the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security’s "Hundred Million Recruitment Special Project Action" and opens up more jobs 20,000

In June this year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security launched the 2023 100 Million Day Recruitment special project action, using 100 days to provide more than 10 million jobs to help all kinds of workers find employment. Meituan actively responded to the recruitment special project action and launched a special recruitment session, opening more than 20,000 jobs for takeaway riders, takeaway operation assistants, service station clerks, warehousing operators, freight drivers, customer service, etc. In order to further promote employment stability, Meituan Distribution has launched the "Spring Breeze Delivery" action, the summer part-time rider security mechanism, and the flexible rider holiday to continue to expand the supply of jobs.

▲ Meituan responds to the "100 million recruitment special project" online recruitment special

In recent years, new employment forms represented by takeaway riders have played an important role in promoting employment stability. In 2022, 6.24 million riders will earn income through Meituan. This year, Meituan Distribution launched the "****** Breeze Delivery" action in 2023, further opening up 500,000 riders, stationmasters and other distribution service jobs, investing 100 million yuan for recruitment, and giving cash rewards to old riders who successfully introduce new people. Taking ******* as an example, a single person can get up to 10,000 yuan. At the same time, increase the coverage ** recruitment and employment information, set up online live broadcast and **fline special recruitment, and link well-known live streaming hosts on short video platforms to introduce riders’ careers in an all-round way. During the summer vacation, many students choose to work part-time as takeaway riders, and Meituan Distribution has also upgraded the summer part-time rider protection mechanism, including night order protection restrictions, customer service green channels, **fline one-to-one running "mentorship", as well as novice income guidance, rider care sheets, rider disclaimer cards, etc., to effectively improve the delivery safety and running order income ** summer part-time riders.

Riders have flexible career hours and stable income. They have long absorbed a large number of rural transfer labor for a long time. At present, more than 80% of Meituan riders come from rural areas in the county, and 280,000 riders come from key counties for national rural revitalization. Many of them are engaged in agricultural-related work in their hometowns, and they supplement their income by being riders in their spare time. In order to help "rural migratory bird riders" take care of farming and running orders, Meituan Distribution promotes various flexible holidays for riders at sites across the country according to the actual situation, such as "Autumn Harvest Holiday" at Changchun site in Jilin, "Shrimp Fake" at Qianjiang site in Hubei, and "Cordyceps Fake" at Lhasa site in Tibet. Riders can take leave according to their own needs, from a few days to two or three months of vacation. During the holiday period, the site will reserve the position and seniority of the rider, and provide guarantees such as return-to-work subsidies. In May this year, the Lhasa rider Kume Chenglin took leave to return to his hometown, earned more than 20,000 yuan in a month by digging Cordyceps, and then returned to the city to run orders. He said, "In the past, there may only be income in the Cordyceps season for a few months a year, but now there is income in 12 months."

Meituan distribution related person in charge said that riders are the first job for many migrant workers to enter the city, and more and more young people are also accumulating social experience through running orders in winter and summer vacations, which puts forward higher requirements for the recruitment, training and other work of riders. Meituan will continue to expand the job supply, improve the quality of employment, and continue to amplify the value of the "employment reservoir" of the rider profession under the guidance of relevant departments.

How about Xiaomi TV? The answer that there is no harm without comparison is here

Graduation season is not the season of breakup, but the season of engagement and marriage. From school uniforms to wedding dresses, from dormitories to common small homes, every step must be carefully calculated during this period. Smart TVs, as common smart homes, play a crucial role in the wedding room. Many friends have been asking recently how about Xiaomi TV? Is it worth buying? So today we use the following glory smart screen X1 as a benchmark to see how Xiaomi TV is!

Like everyone here, I pay more attention to the appearance of smart TVs, which is also the first reference factor for young people when purchasing products. The overall design of the two smart TVs is similar, but in terms of details, the Honor smart screen X1 is better. The Honor smart screen X1 adopts a 3D streamer frame design, which has a strong streamer texture and an instant full sense of trend, which also better fits the positioning of the Honor technology trend brand. The design of the super large screen better highlights the visual center, and the 94% screen ratio can fully meet the needs of users. In contrast, the design of the Xiaomi TV frame is relatively rough and exudes a strong plastic feeling, which is not in line with the aesthetics of today’s young people.

After the boot, the difference between the two smart TVs immediately became apparent. The fact that the Honor Smart Screen X1 has no boot ads is really unexpected, because boot ads have become an unspoken rule in the field of smart TVs. After all, brands also need to eat. Watching Xiaomi TV, the boot ads are close to 1 minute (44 seconds). Secondly, let’s compare the image quality of Xiaomi TV and Honor Smart Screen X1. The three major parts of HDR, color and MEMC were tested respectively. Honor Smart Screen X1 is excellent in color performance, with natural no deviation in color and just the right saturation. With the blessing of MEMC technology, the texture of the picture is more high-definition, and the dynamic picture is also very clear. This technology is not supported by Xiaomi TV for the time being. At the same time, the Honor Smart Screen X1 can support 8K video playback, but Xiaomi still lacks in this regard.

After seeing the image quality, let’s look at the sound quality again. In terms of sound quality, the Honor Smart Screen X1 series is equipped with a total of 4 10W speakers, with high treble and low bass. The level is very distinct and the atmosphere is very strong, which is easy to bring users into the plot. At the same time, this Honor Smart Screen X1 series also inherits the five MegaBass of HUAWEI Histen, which enhances the texture of the sound effect and enhances the user experience.

On the other hand, the Xiaomi TV was evaluated and analyzed. As an early brand to develop smart TVs, high sound quality has always been the main promotion point of Xiaomi TV. He also made great efforts to arrange 8 units of audio, and many users paid for it. In fact, Xiaomi has flipped over many times, and the sound quality promotion is among them. Compared with the 4-unit Honor smart screen X1, the so-called "8" unit Xiaomi TV has a huge difference in sound quality. The Xiaomi TV is mostly accompanied by noise, and the user experience is very poor. So if you like to watch shocking blockbusters, then the Honor smart screen X1 is a good choice!

After reading this evaluation, I think everyone has a certain answer to how Xiaomi TV is. Although Xiaomi set foot in the field of smart TV earlier, it did not have innovative thinking in the later development, and failed to pay attention to technological development and user experience, which is a pity.
