International Emmy Award nominations announced, Ouyang Zhenhua and mainland newcomers compete for the emperor

     







"Little Train" stills


    Recently, the nominations for the 35th International Emmy Awards were announced. The TV movie "Little Train" produced by the Movie Channel was nominated for the "Best TV Movie Award"; the young actor Guo Jiaming was nominated for the "Best Actor" for the TV movie "My Own Deutschland". The awards ceremony will be held in New York on November 19.


    Guo Jiaming confronts Ouyang Zhenhua


    The TV movie "My Own Germany", which was nominated for the International Emmy Award for Best Actor, is a work produced by the film channel in 2006. It tells the story of a Chinese student named Xiao Yang who goes from loss and collapse to forge ahead and rise in Germany. The bumpy characters’ fate, the enchanted soundtrack of "Homesickness", and the strong German style make the film not only a good story with delicate emotions and motivating people to improve, but also a visual feast. The actor Guo Jiaming is known as a Chinese opera talent who combines performance, vocal music, piano and music creation. His performance in the play is quite outstanding, and a play playing the piano in the square brings to the fullest the desperate feelings of the characters at that moment, which has been unanimously affirmed by the director and many industry insiders. He has won the Best Actor Award at the 14th College Student Film Festival and the 2007 Lily Award and the Syracuse (Syracuse) Film Festival in the United States. This time, he will compete with Guo Jiaming for the "Best Actor" title at the Emmy Awards, as well as the former Oscar winner Jim Broadbent in the British "Street" and Ouyang Zhenhua in the Hong Kong "Casino".


    "Little Train" won the Magnolia Award


    Nominated for "Best TV Movie," "Little Train," based on Su Tong’s short story "The Thief," follows the toy train as a clue to the friendship between two teenage children, was selected from more than 800 films in the competition. It is especially exciting to see whether the screenwriter of "Little Train", Yan Fei, beat many overseas rivals at the 13th Shanghai TV Festival to become the first Chinese to win the Magnolia Award for TV Movie Screenwriting.


    The International Emmy Awards represent the highest honor in the international television industry, and are known as the three major entertainment events in the world together with the movie "Oscar" and the music "Grammy". In 2006, He Lin, the star of the TV movie "Mother of Slaves" produced by the Movie Channel, won the "Best Actress" award at the International Emmy Awards, setting a new record for an Asian actress.

Huawei partners with Lantu to add another member to the automotive sector

Author: Wu Kai

On January 22, Lantu announced the formal signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei. It is reported that the two parties will jointly create the ultimate intelligent travel experience around user requests according to their respective field advantages, and accelerate the large-scale commercialization of intelligent technology through innovation and exploration in multiple fields through cooperative models.

Landmap car WeChat official account

Landmap said: "Huawei’s deep accumulation in ICT technology and continuous breakthroughs in the field of intelligence will help Dongfeng Landmap to further upgrade and iterate in the field of smart new energy vehicles."

In the eyes of industry insiders, the cooperation between the two parties may adopt the Huawei HI (Huawei Inside) model. Under this model, Huawei and cooperative car companies jointly develop, and the cooperative models will be equipped with Huawei’s full-stack smart car solutions. At present, there are three car companies that have adopted this cooperation model: GAC Aian, BAIC Extreme Fox, and Changan Avita.

With Lantu joining Huawei’s cooperative car companies, Huawei’s automotive portfolio has expanded again.

With Baidu, why cooperate with Huawei?

Huawei is not the first tech giant to partner with Landmap.

In 2022, Lantu announced the formation of an effective technical alliance with Baidu. Lantu said that it will use Baidu’s technology in intelligent driving and intelligent cabin to create leading high-order intelligent driving assistance, intelligent human-machine interaction, intelligent networking and other technologies.

Then in 2023, the new Landmap FREE, equipped with Baidu Apollo’s pilot assist driving function, was officially launched.

In the field of smart cars, Huawei and Baidu have many of the same businesses, and intelligent driving is one of the core areas of overlap. Will this cooperation with Huawei, which is also a leader in the field of autonomous driving, change the cooperation between Landmap and Baidu?

Times Finance asked Landmap for information on this. As of press time, the official has not replied.

A person close to Huawei told Times Finance that the cooperation period between the two parties is long and is still in the early stage, and more information is expected to be announced one after another.

New Travel CEO He Lei revealed on the evening of January 21 that the cooperation between Lantu and Huawei will adopt the HI model, and subsequent products will be equipped with Huawei’s Hongmeng car machine and ADS (Huawei high-end intelligent driving system). However, self-developed businesses such as Lantu car machine system should also be retained, and its product portfolio may be a high-end and low-end matching model in the future.

Times Finance asked both companies for details on the specific content of the cooperation between Lantu and Huawei, and the responsible person of Lantu and Huawei replied that "there is no more information at present".

As a high-end new energy vehicle brand under Dongfeng Company, Dongfeng attaches great importance to the Lantu brand.

On July 29, 2020, at the Lantu Automobile brand strategy conference, Zhu Yanfeng, then chairperson and party secretary of Dongfeng Company, personally stood on the platform and explained the brand strategy and future planning of Lantu Automobile.

"We are committed to building Dongfeng Lantu into a leader in high-end new energy passenger vehicles in China. From 2021, no less than one new car will be launched into the market every year. In the next three to five years, Dongfeng Lantu’s products will cover various market segments such as cars, SUVs, MPVs, crossovers, and high-performance vehicles." Zhu Yanfeng said that the launch of the Lantu brand has opened a new round of hard work for Dongfeng to develop high-end brands and promote brand improvement.

Compared with other new car-making forces, the market performance of Lantu in 2023 is not impressive. According to the data provided by Lantu, its overall sales volume in 2023 was 50,552, with an average monthly sales volume of 4,212. However, in the second half of last year, Lantu’s vehicle deliveries began to rise rapidly, and it exceeded 10,000 in December.

At present, there are three models on sale in Lantu Auto, namely Lantu FREE, Lantu Chasing Light, and Lantu Dreamer. Lantu told Times Finance that the above three models will still be the main sales force in 2024, and a new car is planned to be released, but the timing is undetermined.

The debate between Huawei HI model and Smart Choice model intensifies

With the addition of Landmap to Huawei’s automotive map, the competition within Huawei’s automotive business will become increasingly intense.

Some people believe that the sales of BAIC Extreme Fox, Changan Avita and other brand models under Huawei HI mode are not bright. If Lantu and Huawei adopt HI mode this time, the effect remains to be seen.

Dcar data shows that in 2023, the sales volume of Changan Avita brand cars under the Huawei HI model was only 23,485; the annual sales volume of BAIC’s Extreme Fox α coefficient S series models, including the HI version, was only 15,163.

*** is the smart selection model. Since the second half of last year, with the hot sales of products such as M7, the cumulative sales of the Q brand under the smart selection model will increase to 94,380 units in 2023.

The HI model and Huawei Smart Choice model are both new cooperation models between Huawei and car companies. According to Huawei, in the HI model, car companies dominate, the underlying intelligent driving functions are provided by Huawei, and the car companies are responsible for product decision-making and experience; under the Smart Choice model, Huawei has a higher degree of participation, and it has a greater voice over product definition, design, channel sales, brand operation, etc. At present, car companies that adopt the Smart Choice cooperation model include Cyrus, Chery, Jianghuai, etc.

For different cooperation models, the attitude of each cooperative car company is also different. Recently, Zhu Huarong, chairperson of Changan Automobile, made a unique evaluation of Huawei’s HI model, highlighting the complex attitude of car companies towards the cooperation model with Huawei.

"Why doesn’t [Changan Automobile] work with Huawei to develop a smart selection model, why does it want to develop a HI model? First, Changan’s strategy is that cars must have their own brand, not someone else’s brand. If it is someone else’s brand, it will be wrong. Second, Changan must do things in line with the requirements of the national industrial policy, because I think other models are problematic." Zhu Huarong said on January 16.

In Zhu Huarong’s opinion, the cooperation model needs to clarify the attribution of responsibility. Under the HI model, any time there is a problem, Avita and Changan Automobile are responsible.

At the signing site between Lantu and Huawei, Huawei was represented by Xu Zhijun, vice chairperson and rotating chairperson of Huawei, and Jin Yuzhi, CEO of Huawei Smart Car Solutions BU. However, the "key man" of Huawei’s automotive business – Huawei managing director, end point BG CEO, and chairperson of Smart Car Solutions BU Yu Chengdong did not appear.

According to a previous report by Economic Observer Network, Yu Chengdong is a representative of Huawei’s internal "car-making faction", and Xu Zhijun, who previously promoted Huawei’s car BU independence, is a firm "no-car-making faction". That is to say, Xu Zhijun more supports the HI model as a supplier, while Yu Chengdong more supports the smart selection model of deep participation in car-making.

"We Lao Yu [Yu Chengdong] are not convinced, but he only has one vote. As the head of the consumer business, Lao Yu wants to build cars from the start of consumer BG," Xu Zhijun said at the 2021 Huawei Technology Conference.

The appearance of Xu Zhijun and Yu Chengdong’s absence this time also added more uncertainty to the competition between Huawei’s HI model and Smart Choice model.

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

However, who can actually fold depends on the product.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1. The price is too high

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

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

2. Lack of "rigid demand" function

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

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

3. Failed miserably in the Chinese market

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From 2.528 million yuan, two models of Porsche 911 are listed

accelerate brake fuel consumption second rice liter Infinitely close to perfection! Test the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Review Editor – Huang Zhengqiao:

There is no doubt that this is a big step towards the return of the Porsche 911 Targa to classics. Previously, the Targa (997) had a large all-glass sunroof that made it a bit less flavorful. Now, Porsche has finally recreated the familiar large roll cage on this generation (991). Compared with other products in the family, the Targa has a more diverse personality, it looks romantic but not ostentatious, low-key but not lacking in performance, enough comfort to ensure daily walking, 4.67 seconds of 0-100km/h acceleration and only 34 meters of braking results are outstanding, after entering the sports mode, the handling experience is still the impression of the sharp 911, and this generation of Targa did not launch the rear drive model is the only regret, which makes it lose some playability.

Review Editor – Sheng Yuanjun:

The appearance of this Targa is very stunning. It has changed the shape of the previous generation model "panoramic sunroof". The overall style can be said to be a tribute to the classic model, and it also returns to the classic concept of the Targa model "hard top convertible". As for the driving quality, there is no obvious difference between it and the ordinary 911 model. It can be said that it is a product that is well balanced between performance and daily driving comfort. At the same time, its acceleration and braking performance are naturally unquestionable. After the SportChrono component is installed, the ejection start becomes a piece of cake. However, this generation of Targa currently only provides four-wheel drive, and there is no pure rear drive model to choose from, which may be a pity for many 911 loyal fans.

Review Editor -:

To say that the Targa is the most beautiful 911 model, I believe no one will object. The ecstatic rear glass top and the classic anti-roll frame in the B-pillar position are its most eye-catching identity "nameplate". But what is torn is that the current generation of Targa only offers four-wheel drive models, which makes it lose the unique driving charm of the rear-drive layout of the 911 family. It has some discounts on playability. Some people even think that the four-wheel drive 911 is as strange as the front-drive Ferrari, and now this is the contradiction. If you like more appearance, it is the most elegant 911, and if you care more about driving experience, then obviously the Carrera S or the more expensive GT3 are more suitable.
