　　Jerry Yan

　　Last night, Jewell Company, which is owned by Jay Chou and participated in the investment, announced that it will help to handle all brokerage affairs in Jerry Yan from now on, and Jerry Yan’s agent will be Yang Junrong, who won the red Jay Chou.

　　"Heavenly King’s pet comes out": It hit it off with Jay Chou’s agent.

　　A few days ago, Jerry Yan arrived in Shanghai to shoot the idol drama Tears of Star Heart, which was jointly invested by CCTV and NHK. Yesterday, he spent the whole day filming interior scenes in his hotel, unwilling to accept any media interview about him becoming Jay Chou’s younger brother.

　　Yesterday, the reporter learned from Jewell Company that Jerry Yan and Jay Chou met in 2004. Both of them are members of the Taiwan Province Star Basketball Team, but they are just friends. The willingness of the two sides to cooperate began at the end of last year. After Jerry Yan set up his own business three years ago, he often hesitated in making decisions. The most impressive thing was the recent basketball fire, which finally decided to participate after repeated performances, but it became a supporting role for Show Lo.

　　In fact, Jerry Yan himself realized that his personality was very unfavorable to his development in the entertainment circle, so he decided to find a good agent to help him. At a party last year, Jerry Yan met Yang Junrong, Jay Chou’s agent. At that time, Yang Junrong touched him with a remark, that is, "The heavenly king is a pet", indicating that he respected Jay Chou and let him play according to Jay Chou’s personality. Because Jerry Yan’s difficulty is well-known in the circle, when he heard Yang Junrong’s remarks, he felt that the two sides had similar ideas and began to discuss the possibility of cooperation.

　　Six brokers in three years: the two parties have not officially signed the contract.

　　According to insiders, Yang Junrong was worried at first, because he also knew that Jerry Yan had changed six brokers in three years since he started his own business, so the two sides discussed the cooperation for a long time and reached a consensus only recently. However, the two sides have not signed a formal contract yet, and only a tacit agreement has been established at present. Insiders said that on the one hand, there should be a running-in process to prevent the two sides from breaking up in discord in the future; on the other hand, Jewel Company should also observe whether Jerry Yan can get along with Jay Chou. After all, Jewel has Jay Chou’s investment, and the company has been doing business around him. Now there is another big name, and the company can’t adapt at the moment.

　　It is understood that Jay Chou, who has always been a maverick, is willing to let the company sign Jerry Yan mainly because of his appeal in overseas markets such as Japan and South Korea. In Japan, Jerry Yan has the strongest appeal among Chinese stars. This time, NHK and CCTV co-produced Tears of a Star, and the Japanese first named Jerry Yan to play it. Therefore, Jay Chou hoped that Jerry Yan would help the company expand overseas markets, so when he knew that Yang Junrong intended to sign Jerry Yan, he readily agreed. After all, the joint efforts of the two could better consolidate the two major markets in China.

　　Cailian News Agency, February 19 (Reporter Shi Sitong) During the Spring Festival, the continuous decline of international gold prices did not seem to affect the popularity of domestic gold sales. Especially when the Spring Festival is superimposed on Valentine’s Day, consumers who come to buy gold are "crowding out" major gold sales stores. However, the Cailian reporter noticed that while consumers are buying gold crazily, some people are quietly selling gold and leaving.　

　　"The Spring Festival is the most favorable time of the year, and there are many customers who come to buy gold. A few days ago, we were so busy that we didn’t even have time to introduce it. All the customers looked at it themselves and bought it directly. " A salesperson in a gold shop said with emotion. At the same time, she also revealed that in addition to people who are constantly buying gold, some customers want to take advantage of the current high price to sell the gold bought at a low price in previous years, thus earning some difference.　

　　In the eyes of the industry, with the increase of consumers’ willingness to save and the continuous reduction of deposit interest rates, gold, which has long been regarded as a means of maintaining value and its price is rising, has attracted more and more attention and gradually become the best choice integrating consumption and investment. Although the gold market may fluctuate within a certain price range in the short term, in the long run, the expectation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve and geopolitical risks will still support the gold price, and the trend of strong gold will continue this year.　

　　"Double Festival" drives gold fever, and gold bars become a new choice for young people to prepare for marriage.　

　　The reporter from Cailian News Agency visited many gold shops in Beijing and found that during the Spring Festival, major gold shops have launched various preferential activities such as "100-gram reduction", "80-gram reduction" and 15% discount on one-price gold ornaments, and launched a series of gold ornaments and gold bars with the theme of dragons, which are favored by consumers. At the same time, in addition to the traditional gold jewelry selling well, investing in gold bars has also become a new choice for young people to prepare for marriage.　

　　"These two days are not very busy, and customers are scattered." The counter sales of a gold shop in Chaoyang District, Beijing told the Cailian reporter that many young people with wedding plans this year took advantage of the Spring Festival activities to buy "three golds", and many people came to buy New Year gifts and Valentine’s Day gifts. However, after "Valentine’s Day on February 14th", the number of consumers who come to the store to buy gold has obviously decreased.　

　　According to the above sales introduction, this year’s Spring Festival holiday is superimposed on Valentine’s Day, and gold sales are particularly hot. Judging from the sales situation of this store, in addition to traditional gold jewelry, dragon-themed series products are also very popular with consumers. At the same time, the Year of the Loong gold bars have also become a hot-selling product during the Spring Festival this year.　

　　The reporter of Cailian noticed that there were many rows of gold bars in the counter of the store, with the weight ranging from 20g to 100g, and the patterns on the gold bars were mostly dragons. "Our gold bars are well stocked, because there are quite a few people who come to buy gold bars recently, and they can sell several sets a day." According to the sales, most consumers mainly buy gold bars for collection, gifts or children. However, with the change of young people’s consumption concept, new people are gradually buying gold bars to replace the "three golds" for marriage.　

　　"The one we bought is 100g, which is for getting married this year. Because I don’t like gold ornaments very much, we discussed buying a gold bar, so we didn’t buy three gold ones. And relatively speaking, this kind of investment gold bar is also more valuable. " Ms. Yang, a couple who are shopping for gold bars, told Cailian that they plan to get engaged this Lantern Festival, taking advantage of the gold shop promotion activities during the Spring Festival, just to prepare the three gold needed for marriage. However, considering personal preference and value preservation, the two decided to replace the traditional three gold bars with gold bars.　

　　From the price point of view, the current price of gold jewelry in the store is 621 yuan per gram, and most styles in the store participate in the activity of "reducing 30 yuan"; The price of investment gold bars is 551 yuan per gram, which is at least cheaper than that of 40 yuan. At the same time, the store also provides recycling service, but compared with the selling price, the current recycling price of gold bars is much lower, only 458 yuan per gram.　

　　"The investment value of gold lies more in the future. It is definitely a loss to recycle the gold bought now. It is necessary to lengthen the timeline and see the price of gold for several years." In the sales mouth of online stores, "the price of gold has been rising, and it will be higher if you don’t buy it now" has become a common saying.　

　　The international gold price has fallen sharply, and the industry is generally bullish on the future gold trend.　

　　In recent years, with the sustained recovery of domestic economy, domestic gold consumption has been warming up. According to the data of the World Gold Council, in 2023, although the domestic gold price soared by 17%, the total demand for gold ornaments in China still reached 630 tons, a year-on-year increase of 10%. Due to the soaring price of RMB gold, the domestic consumption of gold ornaments reached 282 billion yuan in 2023, a record high.　

　　The higher the price of gold, the more it is bought, which is the mentality of most gold consumers, but at the same time, some people see the risks behind chasing up and choose to sell gold and leave. A counter salesman in a store told Cailian that although many people bought gold during the Spring Festival, they also bought old gold ornaments and bars for styles and recycling. "Some time ago, a client of my colleague sold the gold jewelry he bought a few years ago. Before that, he bought more than 300 pieces, totaling nearly 50 grams, and now he has earned almost 7,000 pieces."　

　　In fact, during the Spring Festival holiday, the international gold price has continued to fall. According to the data of Jintou. com, the price of $2,052/ounce opened on February 7 has been falling for six consecutive trading days, and it hit $1,996/ounce on February 14, with a cumulative decline of 2.29%. As of February 19th, COMEX gold futures reported $2,029 per ounce.　

　　So, what will be the future trend of gold prices? Is it still the time to start gold? This is a concern of many investors and consumers. In this regard, many people in the industry and institutions generally believe that the trend of strong gold will continue this year and the price of gold will continue to be bullish in the future.　

　　"As a traditional safe-haven asset, the value of gold will not disappear due to short-term market fluctuations. On the contrary, in the context of increasing global economic uncertainty, the safe-haven nature of gold is more prominent. " According to UBS Wealth, although the gold market may fluctuate within a certain price range in the short term, in the long run, the Fed’s interest rate cut policy is expected to promote the strong demand of gold exchange traded funds (ETFs), thus supporting the gold price. At the same time, UBS suggested that investors can consider buying gold at a price of $2,000/ounce or less.　

　　Shanghai Dongzheng Futures also said in the latest report that in the short term, the gold price may fall below the $2,000/oz mark due to the delay of the Fed’s interest rate cut expectations, and it is still necessary to pay attention to the callback risk. However, in the medium and long term, geopolitical risks still limit the callback space of gold prices, and the bullish view remains unchanged.　

　　As for the individual purchase of gold, Wang Lixin, CEO of China District of the World Gold Council, suggested that if it is purely for investment purposes, it is a major principle to buy investment gold bars, and the closer the buying and selling price is to the price of gold raw materials, the better. Secondly, it should be purchased through formal commercial organizations and large retail organizations, and don’t go to some informal platforms for the sake of cheapness.　

　　"Gold is an important part of asset allocation for both institutional investors and individuals. However, the price of investment products must fluctuate, and there are also risks in the gold market. In the current gold fever, investors should still buy carefully. " Wang Lixin reminded.

Financial Investment News reporter Liu Min

Recently, Yu Chengdong, Chairman of Huawei BG and Chairman of BU, a smart car solution, mentioned in a live conversation with Dong Yuhui, a partner selected by Dongfang, that the car brand jointly launched by Huawei and Jianghuai Automobile is "Zunjie".

The reporter of Financial Investment News noticed that Huawei HarmonyOS Zhixing has four major automobile brands, which are called "Four Boundaries". In addition to Zunjie, the other three brands are Wen Jie, Zhi Jie and Xiang Jie. Stimulated by this news, Jianghuai Automobile’s share price rose 6.32% on July 16th, and then rose 4.52% on July 17th to 21.28 yuan/share. Compared with the low point of the year, the cumulative increase of the company’s share price has exceeded 100%.

The price of Zunjie cars may reach millions.

Back to March 26th this year, Jiangqi Group and Huawei Terminal Co., Ltd. signed a memorandum of cooperation. Based on the HarmonyOS with OpenHarmony as the base, the two parties will jointly define the scene and design the experience, start the development of native applications in HarmonyOS, provide users with all-round information experience upgrades for pan-terminals, and strive to provide users with smarter travel solutions.

On May 20, Jiangqi Group said that in order to comply with the development trend of "electrification, intelligence, networking and ecology" of the industry, Jiangqi Group will continue to increase investment in scientific and technological innovation and accelerate transformation and development, and will soon launch a luxury intelligent new energy vehicle jointly built with Huawei. At that time, Yu Chengdong revealed that the price of the first model of "Zunjie" would be as high as one million, which was against the ultra-luxury models such as Maibakh and Rolls-Royce. To this end, the two sides cooperated to create a new platform and smart electricity architecture, and planned a variety of products.

On July 12th, Xiang Xingchu, Chairman of Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Holding Co., Ltd., said at the 2024 China Automobile Forum that he would fully promote cooperation projects with Huawei. "The project has built a brand-new platform and a leading smart electricity architecture, and planned a number of products, which will build a million-level high-end luxury intelligent electric vehicle with China brand, filling the gap in China’s ultra-high-end intelligent new energy vehicle market." He also revealed that the construction of a world-class benchmark smart factory for producing this model has been basically completed, with a planned annual output of 200,000 vehicles. The first product has now entered the stage of vehicle test and verification, and it is planned to go offline at the end of this year, and will be listed in the first half of next year, and the development of subsequent products is also progressing in an orderly manner.

Jianghuai Automobile’s performance forecast shows that the net profit in the first half of 2024 is estimated to be about 290 million yuan, which will increase by about 135 million yuan compared with the same period of last year, with an increase of 86.86%. According to the production and sales report previously released by Jianghuai Automobile, in the first half of 2024, Jianghuai Company sold 206,200 vehicles, of which the sales of new energy passenger cars increased by 15.28% year-on-year.

Expansion of sales channels of HarmonyOS Zhixing

The reporter of Financial Investment News noticed that in order to facilitate management and meet the ability to sell and deliver multiple models at the same time, Huawei unified the "Four Boundaries" in an independent HarmonyOS Zhixing store, and authorized China Post Putai Company, a third-party service provider, to set up stores, sell and deliver HarmonyOS Zhixing models.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of this month, Cyrus announced that it intends to acquire 919 registered or pending series of text and graphic trademarks and 44 related design patents held by Huawei, with a total purchase price of 2.5 billion yuan. It is understood that Huawei’s "Wenjie" series of trademarks and appearance patents have shown a value of 10.233 billion yuan in relevant evaluation reports.

In response, Huawei responded: "Huawei will transfer a series of trademarks such as the asking world to Celebes, and at the same time, Huawei will continue to support Celebes to build and sell the asking world. Huawei has always insisted on not building a car, but using the leading intelligent networked car technology to continue to help car companies build and sell good cars. " In fact, the brand of Enjoy World was also transferred to Beiqi New Energy, while Zhijie was transferred from Chery to Huawei, and then from Huawei to Chery.

On the evening of July 15th, Yu Chengdong said in the live broadcast of Dong Yuhui, the partner selected by Dongfang, that the reason why the brand "Wen Jie" was transferred to Celeste at a lower price was that the national laws and regulations required that the brand and the manufacturer must be integrated, and the brand must be owned by the manufacturer. "So we put four brands ‘ Boundary ’ They were all transferred to the car factory. "

In terms of sales volume, the delivery of all departments in the industry exceeded 40,000 in June this year, reaching 42,780 units, a record high. The sales volume of Zhijie S7 dropped to 2,306 vehicles in June after exceeding 5,000 vehicles in April and May. Enjoy the world S9 will be officially released in August, the pre-sale price is 450,000 yuan to 550,000 yuan, and the target sales volume this year is 60,000 vehicles.

Market analysts believe that with the increase in the number of listed models, Huawei’s channel expansion is imminent. According to media reports, it is estimated that by 2024, the number of HarmonyOS Zhixing stores newly built by Huawei will reach about 800, and it will hit 1,000 in 2025.

Huawei will launch new car Lu Yun products.

Looking forward to the second half of this year, BAIC Huawei Smart Select Model Enjoying S9 and Chery Huawei Smart Select Model Zhijie R7 will be listed gradually, enriching the supply of smart select models and driving the accelerated growth of supply chain components.

According to industry analysts, the smart driving ecology is gradually expanding, and Huawei, as a leading smart driving manufacturer in China, is expected to lead the industrial development. At present, the company has deep cooperation with five major car companies. Among them, the ADS high-end package has achieved a sales scale of over 3 billion yuan, and the BU is close to breakeven. At the same time, Huawei actively participates in the establishment of domestic smart driving standards, and it is expected to continue to lead the development of China’s smart driving industry in the future. The sustainable development of smart driving will drive the competitiveness of its cooperative vehicles to continuously improve.

Since 2024, the automotive electronic track has been continuously adjusted, which fully reflects the pressure on the price of automotive electronic products. At the same time, since the beginning of this year, the sales volume of new forces has exploded rapidly, and the customer structure of some leading automotive electronics companies is switching rapidly. With the improvement of the scale effect of new customers, the leading automotive electronics companies are expected to gradually usher in a turning point in performance.

Guotai Junan Research Report believes that with the continuous batch delivery of Cyrus, the market will gradually form expectations for the profitability of Huawei’s smart-selected cooperative vehicles. With the mass production of more smart-selected cooperative vehicles in the second half of 2024, the pulling effect on the industrial chain will be more obvious; After continuous adjustment, the market has fully responded to the sales pressure and profit pressure of the joint venture customers of the automotive electronic circuit, but has not fully responded to the income elasticity brought by the new forces and the profit elasticity after the scale effect. With the gradual arrival of the turning point, the automotive electronic leader will gradually enter the layout opportunity.

It is worth noting that Huawei will launch new products in the second half of the year to solve the problem of road side and perception shortcomings. Guotai Junan analysis believes that the expansion of market space can provide relevant enterprises with the soil for product sales, competition and iterative evolution. After Huawei announces that it will launch new products in the second half of the year, it is expected that subsequent related enterprises will also accelerate the iterative process of products, which will make the industry enter a rapid development stage of increasing quantity and quality, so relevant enterprises have great potential.

Pushing off the movie "Instant Universe" lost the opportunity to win the Oscar Award. Jackie Chan replied in an interview with the media: "I don’t feel sorry!"

Yang Ziqiong, an actress, won the Oscar for Best Actress for her wonderful performance as a laundromat owner in this film, becoming the first Chinese woman to win an award in Oscar history in the past century. It is reported that Jackie Chan was originally the first choice for the role, but he pushed this excellent opportunity to others and missed the opportunity to enter the Oscar. So, does Jackie Chan feel sorry? Jackie Chan said frankly in an interview with the media, "I don’t think this is a pity!" He admitted that the director and screenwriter had invited him to play the role many times. "I know they sincerely wanted me to participate in it, but I didn’t think the script at that time was suitable for me, so I declined the invitation."

After Jackie Chan refused, the script of "Instant Universe" was rewritten, with female characters as the leading role and Yang Ziqiong as the leading role, perhaps to make up for regret. Guan Jiwei in the play has Jackie Chan’s shadow. Jackie Chan said, "I have seen this film and think that Yang Ziqiong is very suitable for this role, and the emotional connotation expressed in the film is difficult for male actors to express, so I think the film has maintained a very good standard. I don’t regret that I missed the opportunity, but I am happy. Congratulations on her doing so well! "

Jackie Chan’s new film "Dragon Horse Spirit" pays tribute to the Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Master. However, in the guest performance of the film, Jason Wu mentioned that the development of science and technology no longer requires the Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Master to risk his life to act, so does it mean that the Dragon Tiger Martial Arts Master has no future in modern movies? So have the practitioners in this industry faced an extremely difficult situation? Jackie Chan calmly responded: "Yes!" He pointed out that in a sense, in modern movies, the role of "dragon and tiger warrior" has passed. However, the industry itself will not disappear, because as long as there are action movies or action dramas, a large number of professional "dragon and tiger martial artists" will be needed to complete the action scenes instead of actors.

Jackie Chan emphasized that although technology has made great progress, it can’t completely replace the real action drama. Therefore, the profession of Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts is still very important, and for many people, it is the only source of their livelihood. Although it faces great difficulties, such an industry will not disappear easily.

"The treatment of dragon and tiger martial artists is not high, and many people insist on it all the way with their love for movies, so I took the lead in organizing the film stuntmen Association, just to gather more martial arts to speak for them!"

Editor in charge:

Special feature of 1905 film network "This is my last day in the crew of The Expendables, and it’s time to say goodbye to this series!" In the behind-the-scenes tidbits, 77-year-old Stallone tearfully bid farewell to the "Death Squad" series that has been with him for 13 years.

This video has won more than one million praises, and netizens have cherished the lost youth in the comment area and paid tribute to the former action superstars.

However, in sharp contrast to this massive "sentimental killing", the box office and word-of-mouth of "The Expendables 4: The Final Chapter" are far below expectations.

After five days of release, the box office failed to break through 100 million yuan, and the Douban score was only 5.0 points. No accident will create a new low in the series.Netizen commented: "The former superstars are really old!" "100 minutes of muscle bombing, some aesthetic fatigue" and "the so-called final chapter is just a dog’s tail harvesting the box office."

In 13 years and 4 movies, why is this classic tough guy action series that attracts global action superstars no longer popular? Time has passed, will you pay for this wave of feelings?

The death squads 4Why can’t it be sold?

Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, randy couture … The super lineup assembled by global action stars has always been the biggest selling point of the "Expendables" series.

However, in the past nine years since the third part, with the growth of age and the change of situation, it is no longer easy to assemble the original team. Schwarzenegger and Jet Li announced their withdrawal, and Stallone once gave up his intention, and finally struggled to play, but only Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and randy couture were left among his comrades who fought from the first film.

Although the newly-joined 50 cents and Southeast Asian stars such as Tony Jaa and iko uwais have a certain reputation, their appeal is obviously worse than a grade, which makes this "The Expendables 4" not star-studded enough in the lineup. Jet Li’s withdrawal, in particular, undoubtedly greatly reduced the expectations of China fans.

Let’s look at this series of housekeeping skills — — Action play. Without special effects body double, the hormone-bursting action drama has always been a magic weapon for the "death squads". This film also invited a family class to act as an action guide, and directly played the slogan "Men want to fight", which can be described as simple and rude.

However, from the whole film, the action design is indeed the biggest highlight, but it can’t completely satisfy the fans. First of all, Stallone, the "soul figure", was seriously short of playing time. After the opening fierce battle, he hurried off the production line, making the second half of the film a solo show of Jason Statham.

Several brand-new members of the death squad lack the signature movements and personal characteristics of their predecessors, and even the performance space of Tony Jaa, the champion of boxing, is very limited, which fails to fully display his skills.

Close combat, which is essential in the first three movies, is also pitiful in this one. Only Jason finally fought iko uwais’s cold weapon, which was regarded as the highlight of the whole play, and found the familiar taste. In the rest of the time, you can never use a gun, so the excitement of boxing to meat and blood is naturally greatly reduced.

In addition, although there are many necessary action elements in Hollywood commercial films, such as gun battle, racing and explosion, and the design of motorcycle gun battle and freighter drift has also been innovated, the repeated bombing of gatling, grenades, rocket launchers and nuclear bombs has brought more aesthetic fatigue.

In addition, the special effects of the film are relatively rough. Under the limited budget, most of the scenes are filmed in the shed, which naturally lacks the real texture and is difficult to satisfy the aesthetics and tastes of the current audience.

If there is any merit in action drama, the plot logic can’t stand scrutiny at all. It can be said that fighting for fighting and bombing for bombing, villains are bluffing, decency will never die, and women are still vase characters, full of routines.

Generally speaking, "The Expendables 4" is a sequel to the sequel, without the climax of the final chapter of the series, only the self-repetition of the dog’s tail and the mink. And China audience has already passed the stage of not watching the plot, only paying for the stars and big scenes, so the box office is naturally cold.

What are the feelings of the "Death Squad" series?

From birth to ending, from in-play to out-of-play, Stallone is undoubtedly the soul of the "death squad".All this stems from an idea of Stallone when he was filming the Indian film "Unbelievable Love": he wanted to shoot a film dominated by guns, starring tough guys from all walks of life.

He made a list of more than 20 people and contacted them one by one. I didn’t expect most of them to agree to play soon, which gave the "big brother" enough face.

Among them, the most important thing is undoubtedly Schwarzenegger’s joining. At that time, he had not received the drama for many years because of his political career. This was also his first cooperation with Stallone. "I think we must remove all obstacles to fulfill this wish. After all, we can spend less and less time on the screen. This movie is a gift that Stallone and I brought to the fans."

Jet Li once recalled the participation process: Stallone wanted to cooperate with him as early as 1994, but he never made it. It was not until 2009 that he saw the script of "The Expendables" that he agreed to play. "It is good to put everyone in the 70s and 80s together to make a movie!"

Indeed, paying tribute to the action movies and action superstars in the 1980s is exactly the original intention of Stallone in preparing this series.He once said that he hated computer special effects and wanted to make a movie with his brain and muscles. "I want to find a group of real action actors, not fake gestures."

Stallone also tailored the iconic moves for these tough guys, such as Long Geer is karate, Stanson is flying knife, and Jet Li is close combat. Schwarzenegger recreated the shape and lines of the shotgun in Terminator, and he himself was a revolver.

In this way, "top lineup+hardcore action" has become a magic weapon for the death squad IP. Whether it is the classic action scene of superstar confrontation or the firearms and equipment at the arsenal level, action fans are relished.

The series has also launched new works at the rate of "strike while the iron is hot" every two years. From 2010 to 2014, three films were released in succession, and the global box office reached 800 million US dollars.

Among them, the performance of China market is particularly eye-catching: the first one is 216 million, the second one is 331 million, and the third one is 452 million, totaling 1 billion RMB. The third one accounts for one third of the global box office, making it the largest ticket warehouse.

Presumably, this is also an important reason why The Expendables 4 chose mainland China to be released in North America one week ahead of schedule.

For the China audience who grew up watching Hollywood classic action movies such as The First Blood, The Terminator and Rocky, behind the same frame of these actors is a golden age. At the same time, they finally got the movie ticket that they owed for a long time.

However, as the sequel is repeated, the audience is gradually tired of aesthetics. "The Expendables 3" has already shown signs of decline, with a box office of only 39.32 million in North America, which also makes it difficult to advance the fourth film.

Now nine years later, Stallone is 77 years old, Long Geer is 66, randy couture is 60, and even Jason Statham is 56.

The former audience is no longer young, and the post-80 s who love them are no longer the main force of watching movies.

Tough guys will eventually get old, and youth will always disappear. The Expendables 4 seems to prove that some classics are destined to stay in memory.

"Charge for five minutes, talk for two hours". In the past, we could only see such a slogan in some mobile phone advertisements. With the continuous progress of battery technology in new energy vehicles, 4C and 5C batteries with "charge for ten minutes and battery life of 400 kilometers" will also meet us soon. As the Guangzhou Auto Show is about to open, this issue will take stock of the new models equipped with 4C and 5C battery technology.

So, what are 4C and 5C batteries? First, let’s find out the meaning of the letter "C". The current value required for the battery to discharge its rated capacity within a specified time can be expressed by the numerical value of the rated capacity (C), which is equal to the multiple of the rated capacity of the battery in data value, and the unit is ampere (A). For example, when the battery capacity of a car is 100Ah, the discharge current of 1C is 100 A; The discharge current of 2C is 200A, so 4C has reached 400A A.. Similarly, high discharge rate also means the improvement of battery charging ability, which is naturally of great concern to consumers. According to the calculation of power = current× voltage, on the basis of 800V high-voltage platform widely used in high-discharge rate battery models, if a battery with a capacity of 100Ah has a discharge rate of 4C, it can input a charging current of 100×4=400A, and then multiply it by 800V, which is the charging power of 320kW per hour. In other words, it only takes ten minutes to charge, and it can charge about 53.3 kWh, which brings considerable power.

Qi Rui Xing Tu Xing Ji Yuan ES: Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited 4C Shenxing Supercharged Battery

"Charging for 10 minutes, battery life for 400 kilometers" in front of the article is the propaganda slogan played by Qixing Road Xingyu Era ES.

It is equipped with 4C Shenxing rechargeable battery first launched by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited also characterized it as "the world’s first 4C rechargeable battery made of Ferrous lithium phosphate materials and capable of mass production". Because the positive electrode of the battery is based on Ferrous lithium phosphate material system, the cost of Shenxing 4C rechargeable battery is greatly reduced compared with that of ternary fast rechargeable battery.

Previously, Star Road Star Era ES has started blind subscription, and the blind subscription price range is 260,000-360,000 yuan.

Tucki X9: Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Kirin 4C Battery

Tucki X9 is Xpeng Motors’s new flagship MPV. He Xiaopeng once said that Xpeng Motors will use this model to open the "young" MPV market. Indeed, judging from the design of Tucki X9, the route taken by Tucki X9 is really different from other pure electric luxury MPVs, and the contour lines of the front and rear of the new car are more dynamic.

Coupled with Tucki’s proud advanced intelligent driving and rear wheel steering blessing, it seems that Tucki X9 will focus more on the main driving.

As for the battery, Tucki X9, like Tucki G9 and G6 before, is built by Tucki’s whirlwind architecture, and also adopts 800V high-voltage platform. The battery is ternary lithium-ion battery from Zhongchuang Singapore Airlines. According to speculation, the 4C battery technology provided by Tucki G9 should also appear on Tucki X9, and this 4C battery is still from Kirin 4C battery in Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. On the 2023 Tucki G9, the Kirin 4C battery appeared as an optional package. On the 2024 Tucki G9, the 4C battery option package disappeared. Generally speaking, whether Tucki X9′ s energy-supplementing efficiency can reach 4C still needs further information.

It is worth mentioning that the power battery pack carried by Zhijie S7 is a mix of lithium ternary battery and lithium iron phosphate battery, and its power battery supplier is Jiangsu Times, which is actually a wholly-owned subsidiary of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited.

Ideal MEGA: Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Kirin 5C battery

The ideal first pure electric MPV model-the ideal MEGA is quite hot, and the new car will also be booked at the Guangzhou Auto Show. It can be said that in addition to the appearance of a high-speed train locomotive, the concept of "5C" seems to be the beginning of the ideal MEGA. As the saying goes, "literature is no first, martial arts is no second". When it comes to 5C, people will think of the ideal MEGA first, and this label is even labeled. Of course, the ideal MEGA is not only popular in off the charts, but also has many mysteries. What we can know is that it is expected to be equipped with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited Kirin 5C battery for the first time, with a peak 5C charging rate, a peak charging current of 700A+ and a peak charging power of 520kW+. The official claim is that it has "brought the fastest charging speed of electric vehicles in the world-charging for 500 kilometers in 12 minutes".

Wubo HT: Haobo 5C Flash Rechargeable Battery

Haobo HT is the third model of Haobo brand. It is positioned as a medium and large pure electric SUV, and it was officially launched on November 15th, with a price of 213,900-329,900 yuan. The new car is built on the pure electric platform of AET3.0 and the electronic and electrical architecture of Spirit. The length, width and height of Haobo HT are 4935x1920x1700mm and the wheelbase is 2935mm, which really gives everyone a big surprise.

In addition, another killer configuration of Haobo HT is that it is equipped with an overcharged battery of up to 5C, which is officially called Haobo 5C flash charging technology. This is a set of closed-loop technology from recharging to battery. It is officially claimed that it can charge for 8 minutes and last for 400+ kilometers, and it will land earlier than the ideal MEGA.

Write at the end:

At the presentation conference of Zhijie S7, Yu Chengdong described the charging of Zhijie S7 as follows: charging for 5 minutes can last for 200+km, and charging for 15 minutes can last for 400+km. Take a closer look, that is to say, the approximate 4C charging power that Zhijie S7 can actually achieve may be 5 minutes in an ideal situation, and the charging power for the next 10 minutes will become 2C; For another example, the charging rate advertised by the ideal MEGA at first was not 5C, but 4C, but after it was changed to 5C, the heat of the ideal MEGA reached the second peak after its appearance was announced.

Higher fast charge rate is naturally the focus of current technical research, but from the consumer’s perspective, the actual experience of recharging is equally important. Only by the long-term word-of-mouth accumulation of users can we know more real feedback. I hope that the fast charging technology of "charging for 10 minutes and cruising for 400 kilometers" can be popularized on a large scale and really change people’s travel life.
