Since becoming a father, Deng Chao has become a "Baby Dazzler", sharing the joys and sorrows of his children on Weibo from time to time. On the 25th, Deng Chao exposed the warm chat records with his daughter through Weibo. Xiaohua missed her father so much that she cried because she couldn’t find her father when she was dreaming, and agreed with her father that she must call her in her dream, which was very warm.

Deng Chao posted the chat records with his daughter Xiaohua, and said: "4-year-old Xiaohua sister." From the chat records, Xiaohua missed her father so much that she couldn’t find it in her dreams, so she cried in a hurry, and no one answered the phone. Deng Chao replied that his father was at work and called his daughter after get off work. Xiaohua and her father agreed that his father must call her in her dream, which was very warm and happy.

After this Weibo was exposed, netizens watched and left messages saying: "Xiaohua is so cute! Warm heart little baby!" "Sister Xiaohua is really Dad’s little cotton-padded jacket, and a picture of super tears on the screen appeared in front of her eyes." "Four-year-old Sister Xiaohua can already express her miss for Dad very well!"

Recently, "our country’s TV boot rate fell to 30%" rushed to the hot search, and "whether the TV will be eliminated" attracted attention. The reason for the decline in the average daily boot rate of TV sets is not only the external impact brought by the rise of small screens, but also its own problems such as poor user experience. Experts believe that insisting on product innovation and improving user experience will help TV win back the favor of consumers.

"After renting a house for two years, the TV has never been turned on once." Recently, Ms. Li, who works in Yantai, Shandong Province, told reporters that for her, the TV has become the most useless item in the room, and "even thought of moving it away."

The "2024 China Smart TV Interaction New Trend Report" released by the Prospective Industry Research Institute shows that since 2016, the average daily TV boot rate in our country has experienced a cliff-like decline, from 70% to less than 30% in 2022. Recently, "our country’s TV boot rate has fallen to 30%" rushed to the hot search, and "whether the TV will be eliminated" has attracted attention.

Once upon a time, televisions were a must-have household appliance and occupied the "C position" in the living room for many years. Now, many residents say that the televisions in their homes "have not been turned on for several months" and "left there in the dust". Why are televisions no longer "favored"? Who is still in front of the TV? Can the TV return to the "C position" in the living room? With these questions, the reporter of the "Workers’ Daily" started an interview.

Small screen impact, poor experience and other "persuading" audiences to quit

On the topic of the current TV turn-on rate, the reporter interviewed a number of consumers, and many gave the answer of "I don’t watch it much" and "I haven’t turned it on recently". The reasons for not watching TV include not only the impact of the rise of small screens such as mobile phones and tablets, but also the poor user experience of TVs themselves.

"Now mobile phones, tablets and other devices are small and portable, you can swipe short videos and watch dramas anytime, anywhere, and you don’t need TV in your life at all." Ms. Li said that the audience of small-screen devices is self-controllable, can double the speed, can pause, and can choose whatever program you want to watch. However, because of the fixed location and one-way transmission, TV is somewhat unattractive for users who want to obtain information anytime, anywhere and interact in real time.

The complicated operation of TV is also an important reason why many people "dislike" it. Under the hot search topic of "TV startup rate in our country has dropped to 30%", some netizens said that turning on the TV requires the cooperation of two remote controls, and the steps are cumbersome. It is more troublesome to find a certain channel on the TV. "Let alone the elderly at home, young people have to study it carefully for a while when opening a TV." In the interview, many respondents also said that after the TV is turned on, they usually watch 15-20 seconds of advertisements before the page can jump. If you want to watch TV channels, you need to perform manual operations, and if you want to skip advertisements, you must charge as a member.

"It’s not that the TV doesn’t want to be turned on, it’s that the TV members can’t afford it." Mr. Guo from Guangzhou said that whether it is the TV’s own software or the TV side of various video platforms, almost all of them have to be charged as members before they can watch the full program. "What’s worse is that the TV side and the mobile side are not universal. The mobile side is charged with VIP, and you have to add money to charge SVIP to use it on the TV side." Mr. Guo said this operation was the main reason for "persuading him to quit" watching TV.

The position in the hearts of most consumers remains solid

The reporter also found in the interview that the TV’s position in the hearts of some young consumers remains solid, but their demand for TV has become more personalized.

"The big screen is the main reason why the TV attracts me." Ms. Lu, 26, who has a habit of exercising at home, told reporters that when she exercises, she turns on the TV and connects the handheld game console to the TV. "The small screen of the handheld game console looks laborious, especially when doing aerobic boxing, fitness rings and other sports, it is very inconvenient to follow. If you transmit the screen to the TV, you can see it more clearly and exercise better," Ms. Lu said.

Like Ms. Lu, many consumers like the large screen of the TV. Mr. Hu, a post-80s Beijing resident, always turns on the TV at home every time he watches a football game: "The impact of the large screen is stronger than the small screen, and the audio-visual effect is better."

At the same time, television is still the main channel for some of the elderly to watch news and movies and TV dramas. For them, watching a certain TV program at a certain time is still a fixed action. Grandpa Zhao, 75, told reporters that he maintains the habit of watching news broadcasts and weather forecasts every day. "For me, there is no alternative to TV," Grandpa Zhao said.

In an online poll, "Do you think the TV will be obsolete?", 52.5 percent of internet users said no. For them, TV is a significant other for household chores, a background music during cooking, and an "artifact" to avoid the atmosphere of desertion – you can not watch it, but you must turn it on, and "listen to it" is also a pleasure.

Peng Jianfeng, vice-chairperson of the China Electronics and Video Industry Association, said that the busy modern life and the popularity of mobile end points will inevitably lead to the decline in the average daily power-on rate of TVs, but the TV or the large screen in the living room will never withdraw from the stage of history. "From the perspective of usage scenarios, applications such as live TV, Video-On-Demand, sports fitness, and console games have a sense of’seckill ‘on the large screen," Peng Jianfeng said.

A two-pronged approach to regain market favor

According to Aowei Cloud Network’s 2023 domestic color TV market shipment report, 65 inches is the dividing line between positive and negative growth in TV sales. In 2023, sales of small and medium-sized TVs under 65 inches were all negative, while all large-size TVs above 65 inches maintained positive growth. Among them, the amount of large screens above 75 inches achieved more than double growth.

Peng Jianfeng believes that with the rise of the flat panel display industry in our country, the price of large-screen TVs is becoming more and more affordable, and "the effect of changing a large TV on improving the quality of life of consumers is immediate".

At present, the standard of "good TV" continues to rise, and multiple needs such as oversized, ultra-clear, ultra-thin, and ultra-eye protection have emerged, and intelligence has become the focus of consumers’ attention. "I hope the TV can interact like a mobile phone, and realize left and right swiping, manual tapping, etc., rather than relying on remote control operation." Ms. Lu said that from touch screen to gesture and somatosensory, she is very much looking forward to TVs with intelligent interaction functions.

Peng Jianfeng believes that an ultra-high definition smart TV is like a set of exquisite tableware. To make "delicious food" well, people will have more motivation to use "tableware". In the future, TV programs and large-screen applications can be promoted through market-oriented means to accelerate innovation and meet people’s growing audio-visual, entertainment and life needs.

In addition to "delicious food", it is also necessary to optimize the experience of using "tableware". Peng Jianfeng said that the relevant departments are promoting audio-visual friendly work, and projects such as TV and set-top box remote control "two-in-one" will help to greatly improve the user experience.

Since August 2023, the State Administration of Radio, Television and Television has carried out "dual governance" work in the three major fields of cable TV, IPTV, and Internet TV, that is, the charging of TV "nesting dolls" and the complex management of operations. At present, the governance goal of "reducing the charging package by 50% and improving the transparency of consumption" has been achieved.

"Adhering to product innovation and improving user experience will help promote the prosperity of the TV market and enable TV to win back the favor of consumers," Peng Jianfeng said.

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?

Jackie Chan is interviewed

　　Jackie Chan, more often than not, is like a familiar Chinese symbol, starting from the small martial arts, until it has become an indispensable and important force in the Chinese entertainment industry and even the Chinese charity vision. Too many people truly worship him, and too many people self-righteously interpret him.

　　A few days ago, Mr. Zhang Chaoyang, the chairperson and CEO of Sohu, as the chief reporter of Sohu Olympic official website, interviewed Jackie Chan face-to-face. Jackie Chan, who came to Sohu with the "descendant of the dragon" and the third runner-up of the championship, is still the iconic Tang dress, and he looks at ease and relaxed in the special setting full of Chinese antique interview environment.

　　As a result, an interview dialogue that would have been stereotyped changed, in-depth and exploratory, about life, about love, about life, about themselves, in the face-to-face conversation between Jackie Chan and Zhang Chaoyang, the flow is no longer the standard version of the entertainment industry dialogue when doing programs, more is the light of real words and thoughts and profound dialogue…

　　Position yourself in life

　　My whole person is like a dream, and I have too many secrets that I don’t know.

　　In a conversation with Zhang Chaoyang, Jackie Chan positioned his life as a dream: "My whole person is like a dream. When I was a child, I grew up in a noble residential area where foreigners gathered, and I accumulated a lot of imbalances in my heart. I always feel that Chinese people are inferior to foreigners. But now, China is getting stronger and stronger. After the earthquake, everyone is united, and the Olympic Games are held. I feel really proud to be a Chinese. I also let my son surnamed Fang recognize my ancestors and return to the sect. I still have a Hong Kong passport. I am very happy that we Chinese are so strong now."

　　Jackie Chan said that the most valuable thing about him all the way to now may be the truth, "I haven’t read any books, I made a lot of mistakes when I was young, and I did a lot of crazy things, but people still look at me like this, I think it’s because I’ve always been real, I’m real."

　　Jackie Chan, who is still in his prime, said that his life is like a dream, so he wants to do more practical things in the future, including some positioning and summary of himself, "I will open a school, cultivate successors, and open a personal museum. I don’t want me to be gone. Others will commemorate me before making a museum. I need to start preparing now, I think that is real enough, and I have thought about it for a long time. I want to make a small room, put a machine, and tell all my secrets that have not been known for so many years. I have too many secrets, and these are all things I want to do."
