Some time ago, Taiwanese netizens came across Peng Yuyan walking his dog at the Tianmu House in Taipei.

He was wearing a black cap, a black T-shirt and slacks.

It looks very low-key, without a bit of celebrity style, and you can’t recognize it if you don’t look carefully.

The name "Peng Yuyan" has not been mentioned for a long time.

It seems that since a few years ago, he has suddenly disappeared and rarely appeared on the screen.

In recent years, he has not produced any new works, and he has hardly been seen on major red carpets or events.

That lazy and casual look is like retiring early.

You know, the former Peng Yuyan was a popular "national male god".

And now that he is only 41 years old, he has disappeared, and there is almost no such person.

So, from the national male god to his disappearance, why did Peng Yuyan suddenly stop being popular?

Reason 1: Offend Li Bingbing

There have been rumors in the circle that Peng Yuyan was banned because he offended Li Bingbing.

Regarding the "grudge" between the two, it has to start with an event in 2018.

In 2018, the stars gathered on Weibo night, including Li Bingbing and Peng Yuyan.

At that time, Peng Yuyan was a popular student in Taiwan, but he was still a long way from the first line.

And Li Bingbing is the "first sister", which is highly praised by capital, and the resources have always been very good, and she is a good front line.

When attending an event, arranging seats and seating according to the coffee spot is a well-known "unwritten rule" in the circle.

The higher the popularity, the stronger the capital behind it, and the higher the position.

The larger the coffee position, the higher the status, and the closer it is to the C position.

On Weibo night, Li Bingbing’s original position was arranged in the first row.

Peng Yuyan’s seat was in the second row.

As a result, Li Bingbing’s position was changed to the second row, while Peng Yuyan sat in the first row.

After being replaced by the nameplate to seize the seat, Li Bingbing was so angry that she did not take a seat and kept standing backstage.

Even when Li Bingbing was on stage to receive the award, she was also brought up from the backstage.

Although there was a smile on his face after winning the award, he could still detect the displeasure of being robbed of the seat.

As the "seat grab" fermented, many people complained about Peng Yuyan.

In particular, Li Bingbing’s fans feel that their idol has been wronged.

Li Bingbing’s support will be even more insinuating, directly dissing Peng Yuyan with words.

As public opinion intensified, Peng Yuyan’s studio issued a statement:

On the day of the event, the artists attended the event with the crew. They were unaware that the seats at the event site were temporarily adjusted and cooperated with the arrangement to be seated. After learning about the incident, the artists themselves and the team immediately apologized to the seniors and the team who designed it, and thanked the seniors for their generosity and the team’s trust and understanding.

Although Peng Yuyan’s studio issued an apology and threw the pot to the event organizers.

In addition, he also paid attention to Li Bingbing, wanting to gain understanding and peace of mind.

However, Li Bingbing’s fans did not buy it. They were full of anger and opened the crazy mode as always.

However, Li Bingbing was more magnanimous, not only returning to Peng Yuyan, but also not mentioning the matter again.

Since the parties didn’t say anything, the fans on both sides naturally stopped a lot.

When he thought things would come to an end, Peng Yuyan took a downhill path, and his resources were not as good as before.

Later, he was at the edge of the entertainment industry, and suddenly the "light circle" was no longer popular.

For a moment, all kinds of guesses arose.

The most common theory is that Li Bingbing forgave Peng Yuyan on the surface, but she was still very angry inside.

Therefore, as the first sister, she relied on her extensive network and used the power of capital to ban him.

Could it be that Peng Yuyan’s "disappearance" was really just because he offended Li Bingbing?

In fact, this is not the case. In addition to this reason, there are multiple factors.

Reason 2: The acting is not good, but there are a lot of scandals

Sometimes, in the face of absolute strength, capital will also consider making concessions for you.

If Peng Yuyan’s acting skills were outstanding and his strength was strong, he would not be abandoned by capital so quickly.

Obviously, his acting skills have always been controversial, and no excellent acting skills or works can win over audiences.

Even if the acting is not good, there are still a lot of scandals.

His private life is much more exciting than his work, attracting a lot of attention by hype.

Peng Yuyan said that he doesn’t like to hype his relationship, but he is also obsessed with peach scandals.

There were previous revelations that Peng Yuyan had talked to Cai YL, which was also confirmed by Peng Yuyan’s agent.

The two met in 2006 and fell in love quickly, secretly dating for three years due to various considerations.

During their relationship, the two were constantly blocked by the company, and with Peng Yuyan’s scandal, the two finally broke up.

It is said that when Peng Yuyan and Cai YL were in love, he carried Miss Cai and oxygen beauty Lin Jiaan to the dark.

Some media have photographed Lin Jiaan staying at Peng Yuyan’s house for two hours, and some have revealed that the two are dating.

Although many "cohabitation photos" were taken, the two held the attitude of "beating to death and not admitting it".

Peng Yuyan also had an affair with Big S, and the two became attached to "The Voice Practice of Love".

Before the filming was over, the scandal between the two was flying all over the sky.

They not only flirted on set, but also were very ambiguous when attending events.

However, later, the two sides agreed that they were oolong and did not call.

In 2011, Peng Yuyan and Shu Qi went to a nightclub together late at night to be happy to be photographed, which led to a love affair.

The two met because of filming the MV, and Peng Yuyan would send birthday wishes to Shu Qi on time every year on Shu Qi’s birthday.

Peng Yuyan has shown his liking for Shu Qi in front of the media many times, and also called Shu Qi his own Muse.

Taiwan media once broke the news that the two had a relationship, but Peng Yuyan was not famous at that time, so it did not attract much attention.

In 2013, Peng Yuyan and Bai Baihe collaborated on "Break Up Contract", and the two were accused of falling in love due to the play.

Later, when Bai Baihe and her husband divorced, the scandal between Peng Yuyan and Bai Baihe was also noisy.

Peng Yuyan can be said to be filming a play for a gossip girlfriend.

In 2014, Peng Yuyan and Guo Caijie were rumored to have an affair for filming "Love Close at Hand".

In addition, Peng Yuyan has also been rumored to have affairs with actresses such as Zhang Junqian and Xu Qing.

Peng Yuyan and Zhang Junyu filmed "I am in Kenting, the weather is fine" together, and cooperated with Xu Qing on "Evil does not suppress good".

I don’t know if it’s to deliberately create scandals for publicity and hype, or if actors are too easy to "fall in love with the play".

Anyway, Peng Yuyan’s reliance on a basket of "love" has attracted a lot of attention.

Due to the rich personal relationships, some people ridiculed Peng Yuyan for "more gossip girlfriends than works".

Reason 3: Most works are flexing their muscles and cannot afford the box office

No doubt, some aspects of Peng Yuyan are just passable.

For example, his acting skills need to be improved, and his personal relationships are too confusing.

But his figure is really amazing.

Jiang Wen once said that Peng Yuyan is not an ordinary person, and his self-discipline is very strong.

A body like his is more beautiful than an ancient Greek sculpture, why don’t I take a picture?

In other words, Jiang Wen approached Peng Yuyan to film, not for his acting skills, but for his figure.

As a result, there is Peng Yuyan’s "wonderful performance" in "Evil Does Not Suppress Upright".

In fact, Peng Yuyan didn’t show off his figure at the beginning of filming.

The first time he was noticed was because he starred in the role of Tang Yu Xiaobao in "The Legend of Immortals and Swords".

The fairy sword made Hu Ge and Liu Yifei popular, and Peng Yuyan, as a supporting actor, also began to emerge.

In the following years, he starred in a number of film and television works, but they were all tepid.

It was not until around 2010 that Peng Yuyan became inexplicably popular because he liked to take fitness photos.

In the past, when he was studying, Peng Yuyan was a little fat man.

Because he was too fat, he was often laughed at by his classmates. He felt inferior and didn’t dare to talk to the girl he liked.

So later, he made up his mind to lose weight and entered the entertainment industry by chance.

After learning the story behind Peng Yuyan’s fitness, many people praised him.

Praise him for his self-discipline and admire his ability to develop from a fat man to a muscular man.

In 2011, Peng Yuyan received an invitation from the crew of "Roll! Ashin".

In the film, Peng Yuyan began to show off his figure, but he didn’t expect a good response.

After that, Peng Yuyan took the tough guy route and walked farther and farther on the road of showing off his figure.

In films such as "Operation Mekong", "Guild War", and "Evil Does Not Suppress Upright", his strong body can be seen.

With his unique appearance, Peng Yuyan won a group of fans and the title of "National Male God".

Unfortunately, things must be reversed, and showing too much can also cause visual fatigue.

Without excellent acting support, relying solely on one’s body to attract attention will not last long.

Peng Yuyan is very hard-working and inspirational.

But his acting has been stagnant, without much progress.

Peng Yuyan has never denied the shortcoming of "acting":

"I didn’t get the hang of acting, it’s always been like this. When I get a feeling, I don’t know how to act. I feel this way every time. Can I act? I don’t understand this at all."

After eating the bonus of the figure, the capital found that Peng Yuyan could not afford the box office at all.

In recent years, the films starring Peng Yuyan have not been as good at the box office every year.

Either the rating is low, the box office is low, or the street is double.

In 2017, "The Legend of Wukong" 698 million at the box office, with a rating of only 5.1.

2020’s Emergency Rescue 485 million at the box office with a 5.9 rating.

The 2021 "First Incense" box office 64.21 million, with a rating of 5.0.

The rating failed again, and word-of-mouth box office double hit the street.

Also in 2021, "Tropical Past" 64.09 million at the box office, with a rating of 6.2.

This is Peng Yuyan’s highest-rated film in the past six years, and he has finally entered the passing line.

However, the box office was unsatisfactory and suffered a terrible loss.

Unable to afford the box office, and without the support of excellent works and acting skills, there are more and more bad films.

What’s more, Peng Yuyan is already over 40 years old and no longer young.

There was nothing in his body worth the capital investment.

It is inevitable to lose value and be abandoned by the times and capital.

And it turns out that when times and capital abandon you, they won’t say hello.Peng Yuyan is the best example.

Reason 4: Issues of nationality and position

If only the above three reasons are not enough to make Peng Yuyan "disappear".

After all, many actors in the circle also have bad word-of-mouth, bad box office, and chaotic lives.

People still eat leftovers in the circle, as long as they are thick-skinned enough.

The last "straw" that crushed Peng Yuyan was his "position".

With the rapid rise of the mainland economy, the scale of the entertainment market is also expanding year by year.

The prosperity of the mainland market and unlimited business opportunities have attracted a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists to flock to the mainland for development.

In order to better extract gold in the inland, many artists have taken a stand and forwarded that there is only "one China".

However, Peng Yuyan was caught, and he not only did not forward it.

And he also made some remarks on overseas platforms that were not conducive to unity.

Back then, Peng Yuyan was promoting his movie "Guild Wars".

Two posts were posted on foreign social media platforms in Chinese and English.

He first sent a Chinese message saying that Guild Wars will be released in Hong Kong today, China tomorrow, and Taiwan in September.

Then I sent it again in English.

Referring to the mainland as China, Hong Kong and Taiwan alone said that this move caused netizens to explode, and netizens commented:

"It should be said that Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland should not be juxtaposed with China."

"In fact, many Taiwanese artists pretend to be very patriotic to make money."

"No matter how good the actors are, on the one hand, insisting on one China is the bottom line."

Perhaps seeing the skepticism and public outrage, Peng Yuyan’s team immediately offered an explanation and public relations.

However, netizens did not buy it, thinking that he was "pretending to be wrong" for the money.

If you want to make money in the mainland and don’t support one China, it will only be ambiguous. Isn’t this right and right?

After this incident, everyone’s affection for Peng Yuyan fell to the bottom.

Some people even expressed their refusal to watch his movies, wondering if Peng Yuyan’s later box office was dismal due to this factor.

Today, Peng Yuyan is already 41 years old. Abandoned by capital and spurned by everyone, it is difficult for him to have another chance to become popular.

From the national male god to the disappearance, everything is traceable.

On Jan. 23, the second day of the new year, Deng Chao had a dream. He dreamed of Xin Xiaofeng. It was his character in the suspense film "Burning Sun," a character who was extremely restrained because he was on the run for a homicide. That year, Deng Chao, Duan Yihong and Guo Tao won the China Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor. Until now, his performance in that film is still regarded by outside audiences as the peak of his acting skills.

When Deng Chao dreamed, he felt like he was in the movie again. He said he "couldn’t breathe." He remembered going to the sea to complete a shot. He felt uneasy and confused.

"Adventure"

On the third day of the new year, "Chinese Ping Pong: The Jedi Strike Back" directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei was released. But soon, less than two days after meeting the audience, the film was announced to be withdrawn, adjusted to a small-scale screening from the fifth day of the new year, and postponed to the official release on February 17.

Regarding the reason for the withdrawal, the producer said that due to the major mistakes and serious deficiencies in the decision-making, preparation and promotion of the publicity and distribution team, the film fell into a particularly passive situation during the Spring Festival.

As a newcomer to the transformation of a well-known actor and director, he and his partner Yu Baimei once caused "group ridicule" and became the representative of bad movies. Deng Chao understands the voices of the outside world. In recent exchanges with the media about "China Ping Pong: The Jedi Strikes Back", one of his recurring phrases was, "Is there an elephant in the room to pretend not to see?" In Deng Chao’s words, the theme of the film is not success, but "failure", which is for those who are not optimistic.

After missing the Spring Festival, a family-friendly stew, people’s nerves were slightly loosened, and they wound up again to welcome the reality of the new year. Deng Chao told the story of national table tennis falling into the Jedi, and he had to face the situation of the current atmosphere retreating.

In the film and television industry, there are not a few people who act well and guide well. From the current public information, there is still a very definite answer as to why Deng Chao became a director and why he chose such a recognized and unconventional theme as competitive sports.

He said he was an adventurous person.

The Chinese women’s volleyball team, formerly directed by Chen Kexin, was changed to "Winning the Championship". According to Chen’s self-report, the filming of the women’s volleyball team was the most difficult film he had ever made. Deng Chao focused on the national ping, and in addition to the conceivable value narrative, the official statement also implied the personal experience of the main creator. Yu Baimei said, "When the national players played the game, they completed it under what difficult circumstances. Let’s see how they went on. If they can go on, we must also persevere." From the father-son "Galaxy Tutoring School" to today’s Chinese ping pong, Deng Chao’s story transmission method has not changed much, as Yu Baimei said above.

Deng Chao’s dream of directing still has a long way to go.

This time, "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Counterattack" is aimed at the 1995 Tianjin World Table Tennis Championships. Dai Minjia, who was modeled after Cai Zhenhua, the national table tennis leader at that time, led the decision to return from abroad, linking up coaches, players and the process of social evolution.

It was indeed a pivotal battle in the history of national table tennis. Before that, the men’s team of the national team had suffered consecutive losses at the World Table Tennis Championships held every two years from 1989 to 1993. At the 1991 World Championships in Chiba, Japan, the men’s team ranked seventh, the worst season in history. The men’s team championship medal won by the national table tennis 18 years ago was a turning point for the national table tennis team and marked the arrival of a new era.

The question is how to present it?

For such a film that audiences can roughly think of the story and ending direction when they hear the title, the director Deng Chao puts it more from the perspective of the head coach. The description used in the film for the personnel dilemma facing the national ping as a whole at that time is: "Injured, blind, small, old". As for the individual "arc light", including the prototype Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui and other national ping five tigers, and even Deng Chao’s coach Dai Minjia’s prototype Cai Zhenhua, it is still a rare item.

Bite the score

Under the narrative of the country and the grand goal of winning gold, the film gradually moved towards the road of "blood counterattack". Behind the victory, the film gave a high-flying summary answer at the end: "The Chinese are the most diligent people in the world".

During the intense promotion period, Deng Chao emphasized the training process of himself and other actors. To restore his technique, he practiced playing with his left hand. From the accounts of him and Yu Baimei, "burning", "winning" and "competition" are high-frequency words.

In addition to people, Deng Chao’s focus is still on "technology".

To this end, the main creative team spent a lot of effort. This is slightly different from the director Chen Kexin. Chen Kexin has selected a lot of real people who have no acting experience to appear on the scene, including Lang Ping’s daughter playing the young Lang Ping when he was an athlete, and active athletes Zhu Ting and Hui Ruoqi playing themselves. The middle-aged coach Lang Ping is played by Gong Li.

Chen Kexin said that after a period of time, he found that "it is easier to train players to act than to train actors to play." That is muscle memory and the daily life of players. In the film, Lang Ping has a line that it is not important to win, but to bite the score.

Competitive sports is a subject rarely covered in domestic movies. It has natural obstacles, including the resulting market difficulties.

No matter Chen Kexin or Deng Chao, it is predictable that it is difficult to penetrate into the more specific and complex environment behind the athletes and coaches. This is probably one of the reasons why Chen Kexin focuses on the iron hammer with great personality and the cultural drama behind the event.

As for the industry situation, Cao Baoping, the director of "Burning Sun", made a metaphor: "If you give them another 50 years of Chinese football, it can’t be good. It can’t be good because you don’t have it. Your whole mechanism and system don’t say that it starts with children, and then cultivates every seedling, and then let him know what the technology of football and the magic of football are."

"A movie doesn’t have to be a parody show. No matter how much you learn from a person, if you don’t have that aura, you will always be a parody show." Chen Kexin also failed to escape the value narrative, and the emotional drama is too divided into similar films. However, when it comes to presenting domestic competitive sports itself and its problems, Chen Kexin has gone a step further, or for some conceivable reasons, it has appeared a little more.

short board

In a recent interview with The Beijing News, Deng Chao admitted to his lack of ability as a director. He said that he and Yu Baimei once made a very failed movie, and they couldn’t sleep for many days, often with a face that was as gray as death.

But he also says he needs to face up to his shortcomings. "If you don’t play well, practice your playing style; if the racket glue doesn’t work, do the glue; if the tactics are not good, practice the tactics." He just doesn’t know if he knows where the shortcomings are.

In 2013, after the contract between Deng Chao and Huayi expired, he partnered with Enlight Media to establish "Orange Image", served as the chairman of the board, and began investing in movies. His first film was "The Breakup Master," released in 2014, starring Deng Chao and starring Yang Mi, who was popular at the time. The list of supporting actors is also extensive, including Liu Yan, Gulinazar, Wu Jing, Xie Nan, Jinxing and Han Han. In 2015, another masterpiece, "Villain Angel," by him and Yu Baimei, was launched.

During that time, Deng Chao once felt that he had glimpsed the code of comedy. "Breakup Master" grossed 660 million yuan at the box office, and "Villain Angel" was nearly 500 million. Feng Xiaogang’s "Old Cannon" starring in the same period was less than half that. "Breakup Master" and "Villain Angel" scored 5.1 and 4.4 on Douban, respectively.

In 2016, Stephen Chow’s "Mermaid" went live, and Deng Chao was the male lead. The film broke the box office 1 billion in four days, with a total box office of about 3.40 billion yuan. According to Deng later, Chow said he would be "the king of comedy in the future." Since then, Deng Chao began to reflect on his understanding of comedy. He decided to change direction.

"Galaxy Tutoring School," which deals with Chinese education, was released in 2019, and the box office is still good, surpassing 800 million in a week. On Douban, the film has a rating of 6.2.

The box office was high, and the reputation slipped. Accompanied by this, Deng Chao became a variety bar in the "Running Man" program for several years.

In terms of popularity alone, Deng Chao is not inferior to other actors. He also has no shortage of industry resources. Deng Chao has a share of "China Partner" directed by Chen Kexin and "Shadow" directed by Zhang Yimou. The screenwriter Liu Heng recommended Deng Chao as the second male in the first film "Assembly Number", which Feng Xiaogang’s transformation breakthrough. Deng Chao and Liu Heng are old acquaintances. The "Young Son of Heaven" written by Liu Heng was released in 2003. Deng Chao starred in Shunzhi, and he also rose to fame and became an "emperor professional". Deng Chao was 23 when he made that film. After that, Deng Chao starred in a series of TV series and met Sun Li in "Happiness is Like a Flower". Both the director and the screenwriter praised Deng Chao’s talent. He later turned into a director and was blocked, and once again proved his acting skills with "Burning Heart in the Sun".

What is the difference between the early actor Deng Chao and the director Deng Chao?

Coach and director

In the national table tennis film directed this time, he starred as a coach.

In "Winning the Championship", Chen Kexin gave Lang Ping, played by Gong Li, many close-ups, such as eyes and glasses, a rotating pen in his hand, and a notebook sitting in the stands to draw battle charts. Calm, but powerful. No roars.

So far, more than a decade later, Deng Chao’s past roles still show a stable consistency. In addition to the funny comedy he longs for, every time he combs his back, it feels like he has returned to the "Chinese Partner" of the past.

As a high-profile actor, Deng Chao has been seeking breakthroughs in recent years, switching between different tracks. From "Young Son of Heaven" to "Burning Heart of the Sun" and later "Shadow", which has a depressing atmosphere like black and white ink splashing, Deng Chao plays an inwardly anxious, confused and hesitant character. His feelings, understanding and emotional communication are the best among actors.

Cao Baoping, a representative of the sixth generation of domestic directors, met Deng Chao as early as when he was filming "Li Mi’s Conjecture." He once told Deng Chao, "Chao, 95% of you are very good, but only 5% still has a red carpet smell." Deng Chao interpreted this sentence as, "He doesn’t want you to have your own thing in the play, to become the character itself." Cao Baoping shared his views on directors with the media, saying that the director’s foundation is thinking about life, more analysis, and then requirements and judgments, and then narrative.

In recent years, Deng Chao has been a frustrated director. His wife, Sun Li, recently interviewed the media, saying that Deng Chao looks carefree, but he actually has a lot of scruples and cares about the emotions and opinions around him. But she feels that he is also changing.

This time, the star Deng Chao, who has always been at the forefront of the topic trend, will become a good director in the audience’s mouth?

The audience had expectations, and so did Deng Chao.

Avita 11’s smart driving system integrates road topology inference network (RCR) + the industry’s first GOD network to build road information in real time, keenly identify various obstacles, and improve driving safety for people and smart driving.

Avita 11’s intelligent driving system can make rapid and reasonable vehicle motion planning and path planning, and the driving style is more "human-like". In response to scenarios such as subway repair, tidal lanes, and temporary road changes caused by traffic control, the intelligent driving system can make up for the difference in the iteration cycle of high-precision maps, and truly can be opened without pictures, and complex road conditions will not be degraded. In response to daily commuting and self-driving inter-provincial travel scenarios, the intelligent driving system can independently choose roads with higher traffic efficiency.

Combined with user feedback, the car has also been optimized for the four body senses of the seat, such as legs, waist, back, and sitting posture, so that users can have a comfortable experience no matter which seat they take. At the same time, the chassis upgrade of the car is equipped with Huawei iTRACK architecture, which can realize ultra-fine road condition perception 10,000 times per second, and torque real-time adjustment of 1,000 times per second to achieve the best power output mode under different road conditions and create the best driving experience.

Huawei iTRACK function "makes the road smooth". For the most common speed bump scenarios in daily life, Huawei iTRACK accurately recognizes wheel speed fluctuations, and adjusts and controls torque within milliseconds to achieve rapid convergence. After actual measurement, wheel speed fluctuations can be reduced by 50%, and aftershock time can be reduced by 40%, thus effectively improving the comfort and safety of the whole vehicle and bringing users a better driving experience.　

Benefit upgrade is convenient. From now until February 29, 2024, car buyers can choose one of the following benefits: Benefit 1, users who buy cars after January 8 will be given a high-end smart driving bag worth 26,000 yuan; Benefit 2, car buyers can enjoy a discount of 5,000 deposit to 25,000 yuan during the event. In addition, Avita also launched more car benefits for a limited time, including: the first owner’s lifetime Sandian quality assurance; 6,000 yuan replacement subsidy; gift intelligent fragrance system; down payment of 42,000 yuan, full-term ultra-low interest financial incentives, etc.

　　Just after the Spring Festival holiday, BYD began to "strengthen" its friends. On February 19th, BYD launched the glory version of Qin PLUS and destroyer 05, and set the starting price of the two models at 79,800 yuan. A week later, BYD Han and Tang glory models also came on the market. Among them, BYD Han DM-i glory version started at 169,800 yuan, Han EV glory version started at 179,800 yuan, Tang DM-i glory version started at 179,800 yuan, and there were also 2024 Han DM-p God of War versions with a price of 259,800 yuan. Obviously, for the whole automobile market, this price reduction is not only an operation of "lifting the table", but also a blow to all friends in the price range of 100,000-150,000 yuan.

　　According to the sales data in the first two weeks of March, BYD achieved 38,600 vehicles and 49,100 vehicles respectively. At the same time, thanks to the continuous expansion of the glory family, BYD’s sales in the second week (March 4-March 10) finally returned to more than 40,000 vehicles, which not only surpassed Volkswagen in sales, but also increased by more than 27% from last week. Analysis of the reasons: First, the price war effect of the core product line is remarkable. Up to now, BYD has launched more than 10 glory versions of new cars, from Qin PLUS glory version, Han EV glory version to Seagull glory version, etc., and the main models of BYD Dynasty series and Ocean series have basically completed the annual change.

　　Secondly, BYD used "all-category layout+energy revolution+cost control+intelligent upgrade" to fundamentally rob the user population of the joint venture brand. In the past, independent brands wanted to break through the blockade of joint venture brands on the mainstream household market, mostly relying on a single category to break through. The most common one was to make a "flat replacement" for CR-V or RAV4 models. However, with the continuous deepening of BYD’s "vehicle intelligence" strategy, the core advantages of its products no longer rely solely on price, but have achieved a comprehensive breakthrough in driving comfort, economy and intelligence, especially BYD, which has always been considered by the outside world as lacking intelligence. With the cooperation between the 2024 BYD Han EV Glory Edition and Horizon (equipped with Journey 5), BYD, a "top student", has opened the road of high-level intellectual driving.

　　Therefore, if BYD’s strategy of "electricity is lower than oil" only makes the joint venture car companies "complain repeatedly", then it is even more painful for friends that this top student whose annual sales just broke 3 million will continue to make progress in 2024.

　　There is no time to be quiet, and the intelligent track only has to be rolled up.

　　On the 2024 BYD Dream Day held on January 16th this year, Wang Chuanfu announced a new strategy for the intelligent development of enterprise cars — — The whole vehicle is intelligent, and it shows the intelligent strength and future strategic layout to the outside world.

　　Taking the automatic driving section as an example, BYD divides the existing DiPilot intelligent driving platform into two systems and multiple gears, among which the L2-oriented auxiliary driving system is uniformly named DiPilot 10 and 30 platforms, while the L2+-oriented high-order intelligent driving system is uniformly named DiPilot 100, 300 and 600, and the newly launched BYD Han EV Glory Edition Eye of God intelligent driving model is built based on DiPilot 100 platform.

　　According to official information, the glory version of Han EV with a price of 249,800 yuan is the first model of Yadi Dynasty equipped with the "Eye of the God" DiPilot 100 platform. Its hardware adopts a high-order intelligent driving special computing scheme from the horizon, with a computing power of 128TOPS. Based on the L2+ intelligent driving assistance function, it has upgraded the high-speed navigation NOA and AVP parking service functions of high-speed and urban expressways. It can also achieve driving tasks such as intersection traffic (straight, left turn, right turn, U-turn, etc.), traffic light traffic, overtaking, intelligent obstacle avoidance, merging, lane keeping, cruising driving, lane switching and pedestrian-non-motor vehicle courtesy in urban areas, and the intelligent driving strength has been improved obviously.

　　Wang Chuanfu believes that vehicle intelligence can solve two major pain points: First, at present, the industry equates automobile intelligence with intelligent cabin driving, which leads to the narrowing of the concept; Second, most systems of smart cars are purchased and assembled by different suppliers, which leads to the failure of linkage and integration between systems and the inability to truly meet the diverse needs of users.

　　Speaking of this, Journey 5 is also the first computing solution in the industry that integrates high-order automatic driving and intelligent interaction. It not only has a computing power of 100, but also has a computing performance of 1718FPS, a delay speed of 60 milliseconds, and a power consumption of 30 watts. From the book data evaluation, it has indeed achieved the characteristics of high computing power, high performance and low power consumption, and hand in hand with BYD Han EV Glory Edition with an annual sales volume of 220,000+. It will also promote NOA’s high-level intelligent driving function to continue to explore models below 250,000 yuan, especially in the face of the core demands of NOA’s "opening the city", "scale" and reducing costs and increasing efficiency in 2024, and the cooperation with Horizon will also help BYD to go more smoothly on the road of high-level intelligent driving.

　　Horizon makes BYD’s road to high-level intellectual driving smoother.

　　Why choose the horizon? From a macro perspective, Horizon is currently the largest intelligent driving computing solution provider in China, and it is also the first intelligent driving computing solution provider in the industry that can support L2~L4 full-scene intelligent driving pre-installation mass production. According to the latest Market Share List of NOA Calculation Scheme for Passenger Cars Front-mounted in China Market in 2023 released by the Institute of Intelligent Automobile of Hi-Tech, Horizon has become the head player after NVIDIA, accounting for 35.49% of the market, and NOA models equipped with Horizon calculation scheme are in the lead at present.

　　Obviously, from the perspective of industry status and mass production capacity, Horizon and BYD can be called "suitable".

　　Secondly, judging from the bottleneck of NOA track development, the breakthrough of NOA high-level intelligent driving needs to go through three hurdles, namely, cost hurdle, scale hurdle and daily hurdle; At the same time, for car companies, the demand for smart driving products is developing differently. The essence of volume value and volume price comes from the bottleneck of efficiency. The key to solving the problem lies in the reconstruction of the computing base, and all of this is to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The computing scheme based on unified hardware architecture, tool chain and software stack will be the ultimate answer.

　　The brand-new ecological model proposed by Horizon, which is soft and hard full-stack empowerment and cooperation between car companies, is in line with the intelligent demands of the current head car companies. First, Horizon is one of the few players in the industry who have the full-stack capability of software and hardware. In addition to launching Journey 5 and Journey 6 series for high-level intelligent driving, Horizon also has world-class algorithms and leading software technology stack, which realizes the rapid deployment of high-performance algorithms by combining the advantages of software and hardware of Horizon. Second, Horizon is committed to creating an "ARM+Android" model in the era of smart cars through various empowerment methods such as open software IP authorization and BPU IP authorization. Based on the technical scheme of "chip+tool chain+reference algorithm", it will build a software and hardware shelf for intelligent driving, which will help the development and landing of differentiated intelligent driving schemes between car companies and industrial chain partners.

　　It can be found that Horizon can not only provide a smart driving calculation scheme covering low, middle and high levels, but also provide a flexible and affordable smart driving scheme, which is just in line with "vehicles that need to travel" like BYD Tang, Song and Seal, and from the user’s point of view, in the future, high-speed pilot-assisted driving functions should also be standard for mid-to high-end brands.

　　Obviously, the urban NOA is much more complicated than the high-speed NOA, so it puts forward higher requirements for the ability of the intelligent driving system. At present, only a few car companies have this ability, and with the listing of BYD Han EV Glory Edition, it undoubtedly means that BYD’s "intelligent second half" has taken a step forward successfully, and the platform cooperation of the horizon will also help BYD speed up its intelligence. It is worth mentioning that BYD has officially announced that it will be the first batch of mass-produced intentional cooperative car companies of Horizon Journey 6 series. Based on the cooperation of Journey 6, the two parties will jointly open a new stage of the development of smart driving. (Text: Yang Xiaohong Figure: Horizon BYD)

Renting a car has always been controversial. I really know this industry very well. Can you rent a car? I tell everyone clearly that you can definitely rent a car. It just needs to be consideredhaveIt’s not a question of whether you can rent a car, but whether you will. There are too many real cases around me, I really can’t count them! In Huaian, Jiangsu, where I am located, basically every company rents3800Yuan, the monthly flow can reach1.2But let me tell you, the so-called "pits" are not visible on the surfaceIt’s called"Pit"! The following "super pits" must be paid attention to!

The first is the mileage limit. When renting a car, if you don’t mention it, they will definitely not take the initiative to bring up this issue. Generally, the rented car will only run for you every month.110,000 kilometers, as long as you run enough miles, you can’t continue running this month. Didn’t you think? As I mentioned above, what you can’t see is the real "pit". 10,000 kilometers of running water is probably1.2About 10,000 yuan, after all, when you usually use the car and pick up passengers, it doesn’t count as money.

1.2Million yuan removed500Yuan household electricity bill, minus300The electricity bill of the Yuan fast charging station, and3800Yuan car rental, you can only have the rest7400Yuan! Under normal circumstances, if you are really going to rely on online car-hailing to eat, every month1Ten thousand kilometers is absolutely not enough. Just this alone, it is estimated that many people can’t bear it.

Secondly, the condition of the car, although the car is used to make money, the condition of the car cannot be ignored. You must not rent that kind of old car, because the battery of the old generation car is not very good, and the shrinkage is more serious. The battery life of more than 400 kilometers can run at most200.About kilometers, this is a very serious matter. Charging is a small matter, mainly to delay making money by yourself. If you can’t rent a new car, don’t hesitate and give up!

Here to talk about, generally GAC Ai’an, Changan Yidong New Energy, Geely Emgrand, GeometryA proThe new BAICEUQichenD60They are all more reliable. I don’t mean that the car is good, but it is more reliable than the entire car rental industry. If you rent a Pentium, the old BAICEU5, then be careful, these cars will be like I said above. Also, the mileage should be less than20Thousands of kilometers, more than20The 10,000-kilometer car’s battery life is basically downhill, which has a relatively large impact on making money and is prone to problems.

Finally, there is the issue of the duration of the contract. If it is signed at one time6Years, don’t hesitate, just give up. The reason is simple, if you can really run6Year, then here6In years, you will definitely choose to buy your own car. If you are not satisfied with running6Years, the same need to pay liquidated damages. Therefore, be sure to be optimistic about the contract period, generally2It is signed once a year or so. Then there is the problem of accidents. The industry standard is that the insurance driver of the year after the accident is carried out. If there is no insurance, the insurance premium will be borne by the company. It depends on how the individual handles it. The insurance fee is about1.2About 10,000 yuan.

Can games be an effective way to learn, and how should we perceive the learning function of games?

The University of Wisconsin-Madison professor James Paul Gee’s book Game-Changed Learning: Game Literacy, Critical Thinking, and the Future of Education provides a model for discussing the relationship between games and learning. For him, a game is a well-designed learning experience in which you can identify problems, understand them, and solve them.

The true potential of the game has yet to be tapped.

"The" sense of play "is everywhere"

The game Pikmin 3.

When it comes to video games, many people’s first reaction is to be addicted and unable to withdraw. They believe that online games can easily lead to negative problems such as declining academic performance or reduced work efficiency, poor eyesight, and withdrawn personality. Is this our misunderstanding of games?

James Paul Gee (author of Games Change Learning: Game Literacy, Critical Thinking, and Education for the Future): People become addicted to anything that brings pleasure, especially when it makes up something that is not there in life. However, pleasure is an important human driver. Without pleasure, one would not want to learn.If we need to deal with a variety of addictive behaviors, we need to identify what the addict is missing in real life and help them find it.In addition, we also need to learn how to make powerful technologies benefit lives rather than harm them.

When my son Sam was six years old, he played a game called Pikmin, which was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto in 2001. You may not know who Shigeru Miyamoto is, but his masterpiece is the famous Super Mario. In Pikmin, the player takes on the role of Captain Olima, whose spaceship crashes to an unknown planet due to a comet impact. Olima can only survive for 30 days, and within 30 days, he must find the missing spaceship parts and escape from the planet. The game sounded interesting, but after watching his grandson play for a few hours, Sam’s grandfather commented, "Although it may be good for the child’s eye-hand coordination, it’s a waste of time because the game has nothing worth learning."This is also a typical misconception that important knowledge is often gained from the subjects taught in schools, and the rest is just "meaningless entertainment". But in fact, games can also generate knowledge.

Jing Sun (Translator of "Games Change Learning: Game Literacy, Critical Thinking, and Future Education"): From the perspective of consumption, in our traditional culture, games and work learning are a set of binary opposing expressions, and this evaluation of traditional games has more or less influenced people’s views on digital games. From the perspective of production, although people currently know that games can play serious functions other than entertainment, and can be used in various scenarios such as education and medical care, there are very few such game products, and the public does not have much access to such games.

Furthermore, contemporary attitudes towards games are mainly divided into "addiction school" and "addiction school". It is obvious that the "addiction school" misunderstands games and advocates that all games are bad. On the contrary, the "addiction school" exaggerates the entertainment function of games and believes that all games are good.Both views are also generational differences between "digital natives" and "digital refugees," but both views are misconceptions of gaming, and ultimately a lack of adequate game literacy.

Upper Study: Game literacy is a very important concept proposed by Professor Ji in the book. What is game literacy?

James Paul Gee: When people play video games, they are learning a new kind of literacy. As an important part of digital literacy, game literacy is not just the ability to understand the game or play the game, but the ability of the player as an active participant to "control" the game symbol system in turn. In the process of playing, the player can not stop at "input" – one-way passive acceptance of the game content, but also be able to "output" – active and critical gaming experience.

In the book, I distinguish between "lowercase games," which are the software you play, and "uppercase games," which are not just the software but also the social interactions and social resources that go with it, so that players can put the game into a social context, go beyond the game itself and reflect on it, discuss it, and even modify it.What we should be focusing on is "capital games," that is, games and all the social elements associated with them. Now, players make this very clear.

Sun Jing: As far as the term "game literacy" is concerned, Professor Ji has laid a solid theoretical foundation for this concept from the perspective of linguistics and pedagogy, which is also the biggest gain I have gained from translating this book. I believe that game literacy is an active and critical game experience. One is the ability to read games, emphasizing the evaluation of games for specific game works, and to understand games in specific social and cultural contexts. The other is the ability to use game writing, that is, to modify and create games, and eventually to use games to express themselves.

When it comes to reading and writing, we usually think of words. Can games become the same medium as words?

Sun Jing: Of course, and it has already happened. In short, game thinking is a way of thinking that solves problems through trial and error, with initiative, exploration, and criticism.Today’s young people are all "game generation", growing up in the infiltration of games. Through games, they can understand traditional media such as literature, television, film, painting, etc. It can be said that the "sense of game" is everywhere, becoming a way for them to understand the world.

James Paul Gee: We’ve known for a long time that people can learn from all kinds of media experiences, just as they learn from real-world experiences. It’s true that sometimes they can’t remember whether what they’re learning came from the real world or from a medium. Games are also gradually becoming a medium like books, and have a deeper impact on people than books. In other words,Books can tell us what an electron is, but games can make us an electron.

"The Secret of the Game"

Laura in the game Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation.

Upper Study: Not everyone who plays games is successful in translating the advantages that come from gaming into their daily lives. What’s going on with some deep gamers who benefit from gaming, while others run into trouble?

James Paul Gee: The same is true for books. What you get out of a book depends on what you read, how you read it, and who you read or discuss with. Compared to other types of reading, a romance novel may not be "spiritual food for thought and practice."But if you read it with a critical perspective and "read it like an author," thinking in your head how to use it, how to change it, how to make it a spiritual imagination, then novels like this can also pay off.

Sun Jing: This is still related to game literacy. If you passively accept the content conveyed by game producers and game works, then players will still have nothing to gain except entertainment pleasure. Even hard-core players, some people are just immersed in the game, excessive consumption of time and money, affecting real life; while others may repeatedly refine strategies, optimize tactics, and become world esports champions. If you want to gain something from the game, you must have enough critical thinking and game literacy, be able to understand the game, and more advanced, be able to use the technical language of the game to solve real life problems.

Upper Study: Whether it is learning or gaming, difficulty and skills are the key parameters. In games, it is very common to not give up even if you are turned into a slag in seconds, and it is very common to not sleep until you complete the level. Why can players enjoy immersing themselves in the game, but be hesitant to learn?

James Paul Gee: This can be called the secret of games. I’ve played a lot of games and found that a good game has a characteristic: almost every problem has multiple solutions. Players can choose strategies that suit their learning, thinking, and acting styles, which is a great motivator and a rich resource for reflecting on their behavior and problem-solving. I wrote this book to help people uncover this secret, find effective ways to coordinate game skills and task difficulty, and then apply the corresponding game thinking to learning to make learning fun and effective.

Upper Study: Professor Ji mentioned in the book that one of the spiritual cores of the game is critical reflection. How is criticism reflected in the game?

James Paul Gee: I had this experience in the game Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. You play as Lara, a teenage girl, who follows an archaeologist, Professor von Croix, on an expedition through a Cambodian temple. The professor once told Lara to follow him and not stray from his path. But I found that if you follow the professor’s orders, you risk missing out on a lot of hidden treasure. Good games have a mechanism that encourages players to try, question and break the rules, and such experiences not only enhance the fun of the game, but also cultivate critical thinking.In this way, players no longer rely on various operation guides, get rid of the established routine of completing tasks, and even jump out of the rules. They will also reflect on the values that the entire game mechanism has shaped.

Jing Sun: It can be said that critical reflection underpins game thinking. In fact, critical reflection may not have been ubiquitous in the general public at every stage of history, from Plato’s "The Parable of the Cave" to Kant and Foucault’s "What is Enlightenment". At present, people are faced with too much information, and the discourse of power operates in more subtle ways in daily life, which can also affect the way some people understand the world. Because of this, we need to emphasize the cultivation of critical thinking.

James Paul Gee: Just to add that critical thinking is not the same in different fields of knowledge and practice, for any branch of science, law, game design, or gardening. Critical thinking involves understanding how to make and use knowledge, principles, and methods in a given field to discover, to criticize, and to solve problems. In order to produce critical thinking in any meaningful dimension, we need to teach people how to acquire knowledge in that field, for example, the spread of viruses, the nature of video games, or the role of government, and how to use that knowledge to cooperate with people to solve problems and reach effective criticism,The purpose of criticism is to construct, not to destroy. We need to use knowledge as a tool, not rote for exams.

"The game is always changing."

But the problem we have to face is that the game industry is mixed, and not all games are suitable for teenagers. What kind of digital games can have great appeal and practical benefits for children?

James Paul Gee: Like choosing a book, teenagers are left to decide on their own which games are good. In any case, we want teenagers not to jump in without thinking, but to think like designers and ultimately learn to "design" their lives with their own experiences, using a variety of different tools and effective ways to become good people. They will also become teachers and parents, and hopefully they will be able to "design" quality experiences for their children and students.

We can learn from games that schools should not be designed as warehouses of past knowledge, but as a source of imagination that can make life and society better.

Jing Sun: The quality of game works is uneven, which is normal, because novels, movies and other art works also have the same problem. Teenagers are still in the stage of exploring the world and learning to learn, so it is not suitable for game products that emphasize consumption. Consumption here includes both money consumption and time consumption. Therefore, video games that emphasize exploration and creation with one-time payment are more suitable for teenagers to play.

As for how we can learn from good video games to design learning models and education systems, Professor Ji gives a detailed answer in the book. He lists 36 principles, including building situations, encouraging exploration, and understanding fun groups. This kind of education can not only make children feel interesting and learn knowledge, but more importantly, it can cultivate their way of thinking, which will benefit them for life.

The current challenge we are facing is how to use the unique projective identity of games to construct meaningful "second classrooms" outside of school education and in the game world. This poses a challenge to current game design. Can we change the crude way of mass production of games that look at money, and make games that are not only formal and slogans, but also thought-provoking?

James Paul Gee: I talk a lot about projected identity in my books. Projected identity in a video game is when the player projects their identity on a virtual character or stand-in, performing some form of action, and the player accepts the stand-in’s values, goals, and identity.I believe that we are also adapting to our new identities in the real world in the same way. If we want to learn science, we need to accept being a scientist before we can really use scientific knowledge in depth.

Developing a science game is easier for students to experience as a scientist than learning, at least in the United States. In reality, however, schools can do the same if the school space is properly adjusted to have a strong interaction with the world outside the school, the virtual world, the simulation world and the game world.

We need to change not only the profit-driven approach to the mass production of games, but also current classroom teaching and schooling to develop problem-solving strategies and plan for an entirely new future. In the United States, this often stems from the need for standardization and profit in the textbook industry, at the expense of critical thinking and problem-solving. Putting multiple design technologies (including literacy) at the service of design thinking, problem-solving in deep collaboration, and ensuring that we all serve in a rapidly changing, high-stakes complex world will only get better when people discover the importance of this approach. For now, we must pay more attention to the future and use the past to imagine the future, otherwise we humans will not have the future.

Driven by the digital revolution, new technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the learning environment. Will games under the new technologies affect people’s learning ability more deeply?

James Paul Gee: It’s critical for people to realize that digital games are a very cutting-edge and rapidly changing technology. If you compare games from 1995 to games today, there are a lot of differences between the two. New game genres are being discovered and made. The types of games we’ve made, maybe only 1% of future games, still have a lot of room for imagination and creativity. Games are always changing, and this trend will continue as games merge with other technologies like VR, AR, and AI. Emerging social games and cooperative games will also be developed. This is a powerful technology that is undoubtedly critical to economic, cultural, and even social development.

People need to realise that when it comes to books, most of what they hear are "bestsellers". However, there is an important and growing industry of indie games that make games from the fields of art, medicine, design, science, collective intelligence and more. Above all, it is important to realise what digital game technology really means. It is a virtual imagination, based on important choices, strategic thinking and learning from failure. It is also an external active imagination, based on well-designed and carefully directed virtual experiences that allow players to merge their identity with real-world experiences.

Sun Jing: I also think that the answer is yes. In the real world, learning resources and feedback cycles are limited, and games can create more diverse and rich learning scenarios by simulating reality and fiction. For example, there are VR games that specifically train medical students to perform surgery, which can provide operators with real-time feedback and accurately complete surgical training.

Good games typically convey knowledge and shape people’s way of thinking, while good educational games can also stimulate interest in learning, create a more immersive learning environment, and provide a more fulfilling formative evaluation.With them, you and I can not only become the "number one player", but also benefit our future learning and lifelong education.
