On November 18, news: The entertainment industry has recently set off a frenzy. Due to going to France to watch the Crazy Horse show, Yang Ying’s career has encountered unprecedented resistance. According to industry reports, domestic variety shows and events have become wary of Yang Ying’s participation, and industry insiders have even said that she has fallen into a state of "house arrest".

Although ordinary people regarded the event as a recreational activity, it still caused quite a stir in the industry. Since then, Yang Ying’s reputation has dropped to freezing point. Internet users have sparked severe condemnation that her decision to go abroad for entertainment at this time is unreasonable and affects her image in China.

Despite the seeming setbacks to her career at home, Yang Ying is not discouraged and has turned her attention abroad. The recent release and comeback of Yang Ying’s blockbuster film for the Singaporean edition of Red Show magazine not only means that her international influence is growing, but also makes her fans look forward to her future development.

However, when the Singapore version of the fashion blockbuster was exposed, it immediately caused a lot of controversy. From the photos, Yang Ying’s image is completely different from that of China, and she is almost not as thin as him. Deep eye sockets, prominent cheekbones, and angular facial lines make her look more sharp. Compared with the domestic soft cute image, this transformation has aroused many netizens’ doubts.

Some netizens believe that Yang Ying’s fashion items overemphasize European and American aesthetic standards and lose their usual affinity. Due to her slender figure, her image is too vivid, which is very different from the previous image. Some people speculate whether she is in line with European and American aesthetics.

During the filming of the Singaporean version of the fashion blockbuster, Yang Ying not only gave a break interview to the magazine, but also sincerely expressed her love for Chinese culture. She shared her passion for traditional Chinese art and history, and expressed her work abroad. China cherishes the inheritance of Chinese culture more. However, this move has triggered an over-interpretation by netizens. Some netizens speculated that Yang Ying may be trying to redeem her image in China, let the audience know her again, and pave the way for her return to China.

When Yang Ying returned to China, some netizens found a thought-provoking "small point" and directly doubted whether she was related to Crazy Horse Show’s marketing purpose. After Yang Ying’s scandal, her first overseas magazine of choice was located in Singapore. Surprisingly, Singapore just opened a Crazy Horse Show branch in 2017. This series of coincidences caused netizens to think deeply.

This speculation has triggered some netizens to think carefully. The netizens began to pay attention to whether there is more connection between Yang Ying and Crazy Horse Show, and whether there is any marketing opportunity behind it. Whether this coincidence is just a collision of time and place, or whether there is a more complicated relationship hidden behind it, has become the topic of speculation among netizens. Although this "small point" is thought-provoking, some netizens believe that this may just be a coincidence, and there may not be any major cooperation.

Responsible editor:

　　　　　　 With the launch of Zhao Liying [Weibo]’s first TV series after marriage, "The Allure Time of You and Me", Jin Han, who plays the male lead in the drama, has been subject to heated discussions by netizens. After the press conference of "The Allure Time of You and Me", Jin Han accepted an exclusive interview with Sina Entertainment.

　　Adapted from the novel of the same name by Ding Mo, the TV series "You and Me" tells the story of Lin Qian, an urban white-collar worker who meets Li Zhicheng, who is in danger and is appointed to become the president. The two support each other and eventually fall in love. In the play, Zhao Liying plays the heroine Lin Qian and Jin Han plays the male lead Li Zhicheng.

　　Looking at Jin Han’s previous works, from scolding Yunnan in "Splendid Weiyang" to Zhao Xifeng, the son of the Zhao family in "The Biography of Chu Qiao", most of them are villains. This time in "The Allure of You and Me", Jin Han will present a "domineering president" type character.

　　Talking about the cooperation with Zhao Liying in the play, Jin Han admits that there is pressure. Outside the play, Zhao Liying, who is the boss of Jin Han, is the image of "overbearing president", while in the play Jin Han becomes Zhao Liying’s boss. He bluntly said that the role contrast is a bit big. He revealed to Sina Entertainment reporters that the most impressive thing during the filming process is the kiss scene with Zhao Liying, because it will be very nervous to shoot the kiss scene with his boss. But he also said that it is normal for actors to shoot the kiss scene, but after the performance, they have to go to the bathroom to adjust their mentality and breathing. Jin Han also mentioned that during the filming process, Zhao Liying is very serious and dedicated, and many of the explosive dangerous scenes are completed by himself, which is an image of a teacher.

　　After the broadcast of "The Allure of You and Me", many netizens said that "Jin Han wants fire". In this regard, Jin Han said: "I have never thought about fire, I want to have more opportunities to contact other characters."

　　Jin Han admits that he has a deep memory of the kissing scene with Zhao Liying, and he needs to adjust his mentality to perform the role

　　Sina Entertainment: First of all, let me introduce my character in the play. What kind of person is he? How does this character make you feel?

　　Jin Han: First of all, everyone has seen this promotional video. He is a soldier who returned from the army and was ordered to take over the family business when he was in danger. The business market is like a battlefield. He uses the strategic layout and art of war in the army in the business market, and he uses it very skillfully. He is a perfect man who kills decisively and is cold on the outside but hot on the inside.

　　Sina Entertainment: How do you feel different from your real self?

　　Jin Han: Some of it will be similar, and some of it will be different. Because after all, I don’t have that much background. What kind of family business, I definitely don’t have as long as Li Zhicheng in the army. The similarities are some small details of the usual, such as observing people and being more careful.

　　Sina Entertainment: During the filming process, there are many stories, such as NG many times, laughing scene, for whom you have a deep impression of the opposite scene, share a detail.

　　Jin Han: It was also said at the press conference that I would pretend to be very relaxed at the beginning of the kissing scene with Liying. As an actor, I would act and kiss. After the kiss, I would go to the bathroom to adjust my state of mind, adjust my mood, and start breathing deeply.

　　Sina Entertainment: Liying is your boss. Will there be a lot of pressure when filming this drama?

　　Jin Han: Yes, she is also the type of overbearing president in normal times, but in the play I am her boss, which is more contrasting.

　　Sina Entertainment: Compared to yourself, will there be a lot of pressure to play the male lead?

　　Jin Han: There will definitely be pressure. Sister Liying is the queen of ratings, and I am not a newcomer, so there will still be pressure.

　　Sina Entertainment: In addition to the kissing part, what other scenes are more impressive? There were a lot of action scenes when I first watched the movie?

　　Jin Han: Yes, for example, for blasting, Sister Liying also went into battle in person. In fact, acting is a high-risk profession, and Liying is also very dedicated, and she comes by herself.

　　Jin Han admitted that he had never considered the issue of whether it was popular or not

　　Sina Entertainment: After the film was released, many netizens were commenting, which means that you will be popular after the play is broadcast. What are your thoughts on this comment?

　　Jin Han: I never thought about the fire, I never thought about this issue, I just wanted to have some more opportunities to get in touch with other characters.

　　Sina Entertainment: Which role do you prefer?

　　Jin Han: I want the content of the story to be good, to be positive, and to conform to the reality, not some very ridiculous plot or drama. In fact, it doesn’t matter about the character, after all, it is to give it life. I don’t think it is necessary to choose too many content characters. More opportunities are good.

　　Sina Entertainment: If there are some future dramas that also meet your requirements, and the characters in the dramas are also a domineering CEO type, will you challenge them again?

　　Jin Han: This is not a challenge, I will follow the experience to strengthen it and become more convincing.

　　Jin Han commented on Zhao Liying: Dangerous scenes play in person, he is a good actor

　　Sina Entertainment: What difficulties did you encounter during the filming of this drama? How did you overcome them?

　　Jin Han: In fact, this play went quite smoothly. There were no major difficulties. The difficulties were just minor injuries or something. In fact, it was not a problem. There were no major difficulties.

　　Sina Entertainment: Suffering some minor injuries is when filming action scenes, such as hanging Weiya or something?

　　Jin Han: Yeah, scratch the skin, it’s not worth mentioning.

　　Sina Entertainment: You just said at the press conference in Zhejiang that you went to the army to train for a period of time for the characters in the play. What was your greatest feeling?

　　Jin Han: The biggest feeling is that I can empathize with them. This group of people who defend their homes and the country are really working too hard. Their feet are worn out and their skin is broken, including not seeing their relatives for a long time, and they have been surviving in the army. I still admire them.

　　Sina Entertainment: What is your greatest feeling when partnering with Liying?

　　Jin Han: I have also said this many times. You can also see in the film that she did all the dangerous things by herself. This actor is not just a star, but a good actor. Including some details of life, she feels like a teacher.

　　Sina Entertainment: Will Liying go to the director and screenwriter to find some details for the script or characters?

　　Jin Han: Yes, she will also be more serious about the role, because she wants to come up with better things and perform them for everyone.

　　

　　Ethan Ruan

　　"Come, turn your chin slightly to the right."

　　Ruan Jingtian was wrapped in a black turtleneck sweater and turned his face to the right. The peaks of his eyebrows were obvious, and the lines of his chin were almost sharp.

　　This is Ethan Ruan under the camera, accurate and sharp.

　　And in the conversation that the camera can’t capture, he has the softest and most relaxed lines. Although his eyebrows are still as flamboyant as the "monk" in "Mengka", the eyes below are not at all incompatible with the warmth of Xiao Kuan in "LOVE". Occasionally, a few strands of ancient spirits belonging to "Fan Ruyi" in "Detective Runaway" sneak out and shine very brightly.

　　

　　Ethan Ruan

　　"Many things in life are full of surprises and surprises, and this job is an accident for me." The plain ring ring on his left ring finger is not conspicuous, and the smile on the corner of his mouth is slow. "But I gradually discovered that this job is related to people. And people are the most complex and fun things in the world. I like people, whether friends, real-world friends or strangers. I like to study people more and more, not to talk to anyone deliberately, but to carefully observe how he will behave in what situation." Apparently, the older boy who had "never thought of entering this industry" enjoyed the accident.

　　Indeed, it was a beautiful accident that brought a new king to Taiwanese cinema.

　　

　　Ethan Ruan

　　It’s not all real.

　　But emotion must come from the heart

　　As early as when reading Cai Jun’s novel "Murder Like Water," Ruan Jingtian liked this story very much. When Ruan Jingtian learned that director Chen Guo would adapt the novel, Ruan Jingtian had a face-to-face communication with the director. 10 minutes, from conversation to setting the angle, the matter was settled.

　　Ethan loves this kind of face-to-face communication, which is also his exclusive way to win the role of his favorite director.

　　"When communicating with people, I like to communicate face-to-face, eye-to-eye, and communicate the feelings of the heart. These are the most direct feelings I express. In many cases, instead of competing for roles through agents and companies, I prefer to connect through them, and then talk to the director face-to-face, so that I can find out if there is a common idea about the role and the possibility of cooperation."

　　Of course, there were exceptions.

　　When taking over "Mengka", don’t talk about communicating with the director. Ruan Jingtian readily agreed without even reading the script. Director Doudou (director Niu Chengze) directly said that he was "with seeds". "Sometimes this is done because of trust in certain directors and teams. Some people will never harm you, just like your own family, you will have complete trust in him." "Not afraid of not being able to play this role well?" "Of course I will be afraid, but with such a director in front to check, he will not let you go if you can’t play well, and he will never let his play go badly!" He laughed playfully, as if he had succeeded in "plotting" Director Doudou.

　　"Paradise in the Army" is Mr. Ruan’s most recent collaboration with Mr. Dou, and his first film since leaving the army, because Mr. Dou is Mr. Ruan’s "most important person" in the film.

　　The filming process was not easy, and Ruan Jingtian often struggled on the verge of breaking the dam emotionally. Watching "Lao Zhang" Chen Jianbin being captured but helpless, he could not promise a visible tomorrow to his lover. Xiao Bao, one of the thousands of recruits he plays, is wrapped up in the times and fate and has no way to fight back. In several scenes, Ruan Jingtian had to rely on the director’s help to hold back the tears that were about to flow. "Paradise in the Army is a painful and happy process for me. Sometimes it’s very torn, and sometimes I enjoy the feeling of being trapped in the character."

　　For Mr. Ruan, the emotions he wants in every play to be real. Whether it’s the sibling relationship between Chen Yihan and Chen in "LOVE" or the brotherhood of the Prince Gang in "Monga", he has carried these emotions into his life without reservation. "The performance is not all real, but the emotions must come from the most authentic place."

　　Learn to wait

　　Waiting for the next big wave

　　In the early hours of 2006, a slender shadow was speeding skating across the viaduct. Lin Yuxian, the filmmaker, and the cameraman kept their eyes on the camera, while the rest of the crew watched and listened. Their filming was not allowed, and they had to quickly evacuate once the police showed up.

　　For the first-time filmmaker, it was probably the most memorable early morning of his life. "After that time, I thought making movies was a very fun thing for me." In the film’s debut film, "Exit 6," the film’s infinite creative and imaginative space helped him achieve childhood pranks such as hiding in tires and rolling downstairs, riding a trolley to shake his tail, and setting off firecrackers with his butt. Not only that, but the film also opened the door for Ethan to go to the big screen.

　　In 2009, he met with Monga.

　　Ruan Jingtian plays a super-intelligent, reserved and calm gangster He Tianyou ("monk") in the film. His extremely textured performance makes Chen Kexin praise "a superstar is born" and Woo Yusen sees "Chow Yun-fat in a young era". With this film, Ruan Jingtian runs like a dark horse into the competition for the best actor of the 47th Golden Horse Awards.

　　His eyes widened, his sexy mouth held up a full "O", and his muscles stiffened for a moment. On November 20, 2010, when the camera gave a close-up of Ruan Jingtian at the 47th Golden Horse Awards ceremony, he used this expression to explain all his surprise. Although he said with a smile that "he had prepared his acceptance speech ten years ago", he was still stunned by this "happy lightning" in the face of the results of beating Wang Xueqi, Ni Dahong and Qin Hao by a large number of votes.

　　Now talking about the little golden horse, Ruan Jingtian said jokingly: "That’s a trophy!" After a string of boy-like mischievous laughter, he turned indifferent ": In fact, at that age, getting that award was very stressful. I was lost for a while because I didn’t know what to do to qualify for it. Looking back, I found that you don’t have to do anything to qualify for it, because when you gave it back then, it means you have been there before, and you don’t have to copy it every time. As long as you do your best to do every performance after that, you can slowly learn to live peacefully with pressure and emotions."

　　Ruan Jingtian, who came out of the misty forest brought by the "Best Actor", saw more possibilities in himself in "Detective Runaway". "During filming, Director Luo Zhuoyao showed us German silent films. At first I was confused, but after seeing the editing of the movie, I could probably understand it." However, he did not shy away from admitting that "these are still difficult for me to understand, but it is a good experience, which makes me feel that I can slowly play in black humor."

　　Ruan Jingtian, who found himself with countless possibilities in the role, never said "I don’t really like this job, I plan when to retire every day and live a so-called free life". As he grew older and experienced, he began to think more and have more confidence in this job, and at the same time, he asked himself to be "a good actor".

　　"Every director, whether commercial or artistic, as long as you are soft, as long as you are willing to listen, he will always bring you something. For actors, this will make you more able to adapt to every director." Time has taught Ethan Ruan to accumulate thick hair. He can shoot a shot 20 times in the new film "New York New York" to try to be closer to the psychological changes of the characters; he can also seize the three or four precious opportunities given by director Liu Weiqiang in "Blood Drops" to show what the director wants to see the most in the fastest but most accurate state.

　　Before the accumulation had reached a qualitative change, Ethan Ruan also had a long and difficult time. However, his favorite surfing taught him to persevere and wait.

　　"The spirit of surfing is to wait. The experience of life is a lot like surfing. No one is always on the high and no one is always on the low. Learn to live with the low tide and wait for the point to come up. Learn to wait instead of picking up the board and going home. When you get home you don’t have the next wave. Wait, maybe five minutes, maybe an hour, but you have to wait."

　　Taiwan movie story

　　From Niu Chengze to Hou Hsiao-hsien, Ruan Jingtian has worked with these two standard-bearers in the Taiwanese film industry.

　　Doudao Niu Chengze has accompanied Ruan Jingtian all the way from counting steel coins to buying bento to today. In Ruan Jingtian’s eyes, he is not only a "guide", "life mentor", "friend who can scold him as a dog", but also like a "father".

　　At the 50th anniversary ceremony of the 2013 Golden Horse Awards, Ethan said that he was sick and left the table early. Niu Chengze, who was watching the live broadcast, was trembling with anger and smashed the remote control in his hand against the TV. At the time, the crew was rushing to shoot "Paradise in the Army", but Niu Chengze turned a blind eye to Ethan for two weeks. During this time, even if he gave a play to the actors, he only passed the message to Ethan through the assistant director. This "strict father" punishment made Ethan realize the seriousness of his mistake.

　　Director Hou Hsiao-hsien feels completely different from Director Dou. "One is like grandpa and the other is like dad. Director Dou is very demanding, but for me he is the most important person. Because many times his requirements for acting will allow me to go to a state I did not expect and unknown, rather than staying in a place I know. Of course, it is not just the pressure of working with Director Dou. In the face of some directors who have high requirements for acting, it is impossible for me to bring ordinary things to satisfy them. They are like the most tricky guests, and sometimes even the color and fragrance of reason cannot satisfy them. You have to do your best and spend a little ingenuity to meet their requirements."

　　"Chef" Ruan Jingtian arrived in front of the director Hou Hsiao-hsien, obviously with more freedom to play. "It’s a very comfortable state. Because he has no restrictions on what the actor should do, it gives you a huge imagination. For me, this experience is very special. In fact, it was not suitable at first, and in the end, I miss every shot directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien. You will really want to work with him again and bring him something different. Working with him is a great experience!"

　　Nine years, 13 films, 10 films directed by Taiwanese directors, Ethan has an almost persistent love for Taiwanese films. Commemorative growth and local stories are the eternal melodies of Taiwanese films in his heart. "Monga" is a typical Taiwanese film about growth in Ethan’s eyes. Brothers, fate, youth and injuries in growth make Taiwanese films that inspire youth have a sadness that shines through tomorrow. And Taiwan’s story is not just a story of growth but also a story of life. "Shanghai, Beijing, New York, Taipei, these big cities are very similar. People from all over the world take root in the local leaves and develop their own unique way of life."

　　

　　Ethan Ruan

　　It takes fear to be brave

　　Ruan Jingtian’s own Weibo profile is: a timid and brave ordinary person.

　　He was timid. "When you ask me to jump from five or six floors on a wire, it’s a fool to say that I’m not afraid. Of course I’m afraid, but I have a reason to do it, so I have to be brave. Because being afraid is the only way to be brave."

　　More often, he is willing to stay at home and spend time with his two cats in the safest place. One of them rubbed Ethan’s trousers at the Taichung night market, and finally impressed Ethan, who raised a dog, before being driven away for the third time.

　　Now that the 12-year-old cat was old and frail, Ruan Jingtian smiled and said that he had become a veterinarian who gave injections to cats every day. But on second thought, thinking of the cat who had been with him for many years, "If something happens, it will die", a trace of gentle concern and sadness showed in his eyes.

　　He loves silence and also enjoys limits.

　　"What’s your biggest impression of surfing?" he asked excitedly of his hobby. "Summer, the beach, a bikini?" The question caught him off guard.

　　"Haha, but, did you know, Taiwan only has waves in winter!" The slyness in his eyes poured out, as if announcing a shocking secret. "The waves usually appear before 9 o’clock in the morning, mostly between 4 and 6 o’clock. So get up early and go into the water when it’s very cold. It’s hot at noon, and there are no waves, so you can only sleep. So when you actually do something, you will find that it is different from everyone’s stereotypes."

　　Racing is another passion of Ethan Ethan’s. Like many young boys, he has loved racing since he was a child and has been playing with it for seven or eight years since he grew up. In the last two years, he has participated in car racing and won two annual championships. "Racing and acting can put people in a tight environment. You can’t go wrong a lot of the time, because many good shots can only be shot once. In such a tense and precise moment, you have to be very subtle and careful to control every movement of your body, every expression, and cooperate with everyone. The same is true of racing. It’s not about who is faster, but who makes fewer mistakes." He was personally involved in every aspect of car repair, setting up, and practicing, because in his opinion: "You have to be serious about playing! Because if you are not serious, you will not be happy."

　　Recently, the topic of Ruan Jingtian’s relationship has attracted people’s attention. He interacted calmly with netizens on Weibo, and the comments were polarized. Some people praised him Man, while others laughed and scolded him. He said that "this matter is unique and will not appear again in the future." Even if the problem was not originally planned, Ruan Jingtian did not shy away from his most natural emotions at this moment, as he said: "At first you were not wary, the reporter editor asked your girlfriend, and you would say it. But later found that what you said would follow you like a shadow, which is a very annoying thing. Emotions are private, like closing the door when going to the toilet." And his ideal love and family life is like his grandparents, not the passion and ups and downs of the two, but the peace of the years.

　　At the end of the shooting, he signed for the studio. Ruan – Jing – Tian, the rounded corners, the word "Tian" one stroke and one stroke, the willful length of "two legs", Xiao Tian left the last stroke with boyish wanton and innocence. The sun, the moon, the rivers, the river of time flows, initializing the once rampage, Ruan Jingtian’s charm as a man has just revealed a corner.

Jackie Chan, Fan Bingbing Street Love Fight

Shinjuku Incident, due to be released in April, has attracted wide attention because it is directed by the famous director Er Dongsheng and brings together many popular stars such as Jackie Chan, Wu Yanzu, Fan Bingbing, Xu Jinglei and so on. However, this release is limited to South East Asia and Hong Kong, and mainland audiences have not been able to enjoy the film.

　　In "Shinjuku Incident," Fan Bingbing will play Jackie Chan’s girlfriend, a man who is very assertive, enthusiastic on the outside but lonely on the inside. This is also Jackie Chan and Fan Bingbing’s first collaboration on the big screen. Fan Bingbing and Jackie Chan, who are on the run, meet in Kabukicho, Japan, and stage a poignant and romantic love story. In the film, Fan Bingbing brings a group of young girls to make a living under the power struggle of Japanese gangsters, which is a far cry from the bright and beautiful image he has played in the past.

　　In this play, Japanese lines are a new challenge for Fan Bingbing. Fan Bingbing learns things very quickly and has a strong ability to imitate, so the large Japanese lines he just gave her the day before have been memorized the next day, and can be spoken fluently during filming. But Fan Bingbing still admits that learning Japanese is still a bit difficult. Recently, Fan Bingbing has been teaching English, makeup, and changing scenes. In short, all the time she can use during work breaks is practiced hard with foreign teachers. She said that she actually wasted a lot of time while waiting for the play, so she hopes to use her time to enrich herself through learning.

　　"Shinjuku Incident," a film called Jackie Chan’s transformation, also gathers Naoto Takenaka, Gao Jie, Kato Yaya, Qian Jiale, Lu Huiguang, Qin Pei, Lin Xue, Kurata Baozhao and other Chinese and Japanese movie stars. It can be said that the lineup is prosperous.

Nicholas Tse has always maintained a low-key and stable image in the entertainment industry, especially when it comes to his own love life. Even with rumors everywhere, he chose to use actions to prove his sincere feelings with Faye Wong, such as the picture of holding hands at the airport is the best proof.

As we all know, Nicholas Tse has always been known for his handsome appearance. When he was young, he had clear lines and handsome features. He was undoubtedly a handsome male god in the eyes of many people. Therefore, the public still remains stuck on this handsome image of Nicholas Tse.

However, time is ruthless, and time will eventually carve its mark on everyone’s face, and Nicholas Tse is no exception. Recently exposed photos of Nicholas Tse participating in the event have attracted widespread attention.

On that day, Nicholas Tse was well-dressed, with thin braids, sunglasses, and thick-soled boots, showing a strong masculine taste. However, with the trend of gaining weight, his overall shape looked a little rough and greasy.

It is worth noting that close observation can see that his skin is a little loose, coupled with the height disadvantage, resulting in a slightly strange overall visual effect.

Some people pointed out that Nicholas Tse was more and more like Xie Xian because he had been wearing sunglasses, and his appearance and figure had changed. The state of the two father and son was almost a copy copy, which showed that the power of genes was indeed powerful.

After this group of photos of Nicholas Tse was exposed, it caused heated discussions among netizens. Many people bluntly said that his appearance had undergone major changes, and his clothes had gradually become more conventional. Overall, most of the negative comments were received.

But Nicholas Tse’s photos posted on social platforms are once again rejuvenated after being treated with beauty filters. It is no wonder that more and more people are now falling in love with beauty features.

Nicholas Tse’s appearance changes are inevitable, after all, he is already a 42-year-old middle-aged man. Who can expect to still maintain his 20-year-old appearance at the age of 42? Therefore, the old age of the male god is also inevitable.

Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong have been together for many years, and the two have always maintained a state of ambiguity, and there have been many rumors of a breakup.

In reality, however, the likelihood of a breakup is extremely low. Since they have chosen to be together again, they will not give up easily. And now that the children are grown up and the two have more time to enjoy a happy life, the possibility of a breakup is minimal.

At present, Nicholas Tse’s eldest son is 17 years old, and his second son is 14 years old. The two sons have inherited their parents’ excellent genes, which is really the reward for Cecilia Cheung’s efforts over the years. Overall, the three of them are all well, and I wish them all the best in the future!

In the past two years, stepping on fuel vehicles has become a new trend, and the multiple-choice question of "buy a fuel vehicle or buy a new energy vehicle" is linked to the pros and cons of the contempt chain.

Driven by the popular narrative of the "new/old" dichotomy, the rush to give fuel vehicles a suspended death sentence has become the new "political correctness" in the public opinion field.

Two days ago, some people in the circle of friends were referring to the condolence letter written by a certain TMT media to the fuel truck – "I, 137 years old, will be unemployed and laid off"

The latest addition to the "bad guys club" is Internet celebrity economist Ren Zeping.

On May 15, Ren Zeping posted on Weibo, "It is recommended to introduce a five-year ban on the sale of fuel vehicles. South of Hebei, vigorously develop new energy, dual carbon, and expand domestic demand."

Hearing this, traditional car companies may seem to have been acerated by Li Chengru, like needles and feels like thorns in the back and throats.

He also asserted in "Ten New Trends in China’s New Energy": "The Nokia moment is coming" for traditional fuel vehicles.

In March this year, Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun, who proposed "the iPhone moment of AI", should say: Someone imitates my face…

In the context of Musk’s threat that "soon, we will look at fuel vehicles in the same way as steam engines", Ren Zeping’s many forward-looking judgments on the new energy industry are not outrageous.

But is it really reasonable to rush to call for a ban on the sale of fuel vehicles?

As a staunch advocate of new energy, Ren Zeping, who "does not invest in new energy now, it is like not buying a house 20 years ago", suggested that the sale of fuel vehicles should be banned within five years, which is quite normal.

If you feel abnormal, you can review his post that Buffett reduced his holdings of BYD "not guaranteed in the evening".

Of course, he will not be unaware that the possibility of a ban on the sale of fuel vehicles at the national level within five years is minimal – after all, cars are bulk consumer goods. If the sale of fuel vehicles is banned too soon, the chain reaction will inevitably extend to the upstream and downstream industries of automobiles, and the unemployment of automobile industry practitioners.

Besides, can the pain points of insufficient energy infrastructure such as charging piles and gas stations for new energy vehicles be solved within 5 years?

Ren Zeping’s suggestion is more about discourse strategy. Radical claims are often the most intuitive way to make a clear stance, and wall-riding conciliationism is "a taboo for taking sides."

On the Internet, some netizens focused on the words "south of Hebei" that Ren Zeping said: Can’t new energy be developed north of Hebei?

This may be the deviation of attention: the battery performance of new energy vehicles usually decays at low temperatures, and the car experience determines that people in high-latitude regions are more inclined to fuel vehicles.

In other words, it’s not that areas north of Hebei can’t develop new energy, it’s that people in those places "can’t use" new energy vehicles.

The focus of Ren Zeping’s remarks still lies in the proposed time point for the ban on sales.

At first glance, the proposal to ban the sale of fuel vehicles can be regarded as "going with the times", and Ren Zeping’s elimination of fuel vehicles is just a reserved program for the bosses of "Wei Xiaoli".

Before that, the boss of a new energy vehicle company took up the fuel car, and his skills were no less than that of Xiaoguo’s "blurted" actor.

In December 2021, NIO CEO Li Bin said: "I don’t understand at all why anyone still buys a gas car now? How nostalgic it is to buy a gas car! Except for smelling a little gasoline, I can’t think of anything good."

In January 2022, He Xiaopeng, CEO of Xiaopeng: "Most people who have driven smart electric vehicles will not be used to driving fuel vehicles again. The experience of the two is completely different."

At the end of May 2022, Huawei Smart Car CEO Yu Chengdong: The era of pure fuel vehicles will quickly pass, and buying fuel vehicles in this era is just like buying feature phones in the era of smartphones!

The trade-off in sales, and the atmosphere of "new forces competing for show, traditional car companies being beaten up" strengthened their confidence.

In March this year, the price reduction of Dongfeng cars was also interpreted as "not even leaving a drop of soup, don’t blame the human urine pot".

In the case of new energy vehicles occupying the "double carbon" highland, traditional car companies are very passive – they can only shout "follow" at the card table, but cannot come to the card table as their home court.

Speaking of which, the proposal to ban the sale of fuel vehicles was not pioneered by Ren Zeping.

Many countries and regions in Europe, America and other regions have set a timetable for banning the sale of fuel vehicles: as early as 2017, the French government announced that the sale of fuel vehicles would be completely suspended by 2040; in December 2022, the Norwegian government proposed to stop the sale of gasoline or diesel vehicles nationwide by 2025; on February 14 this year, the European Parliament passed a proposal to stop the sale of fuel cars and small trucks in 2023; on April 28, the California Air Resources Board voted to pass the "Advanced Clean Fleet Rules", proposing to ban the sale of diesel large trucks by 2036.

Driven by the consensus on carbon emission reduction and the pressure of foreign energy dependence, these countries and regions have put a ban on the sale of fuel vehicles on the agenda.

Many traditional car companies also responded positively to this: Volkswagen said it would stop production of fuel vehicles by 2030 at the latest; Audi announced that it would stop production of fuel vehicles in regions other than the Chinese market in 2033 and fully enter the electrification era in 2032; Honda plans to stop selling new fuel vehicles in 2040, and Mercedes-Benz’s corporate strategy shifts from electric first to fully electric goal, and fully electric by 2030; Nissan plans to electrify 50% of its models on sale in 2023 and stop selling fuel models after 2025. Including General Motors, Ford, Jaguar, Volvo, etc., they have also clearly banned the sale of fuel vehicles.

In fact, after the European Parliament proposed to stop the sale of fuel vehicles, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Ford and other automakers have publicly expressed their support.

In terms of supporting the new energy industry, China, as the largest market for new energy vehicles, is naturally also full of motivation: whether it is the need for dual carbon practice, or the rise of new car-making forces represented by BYD and Wei Xiaoli, which has given Chinese auto brands a name in the global automobile market structure of Germany and Japan "two worlds", it has anchored one point – to support the development of the new energy industry.

At present, China has not yet clarified the timetable for the withdrawal of fuel vehicles, but in May 2019, an organization released the "Study on the Exit Schedule of Traditional Fuel Vehicles in China" report predicting that the time point for China to ban the sale of fuel vehicles is roughly:

1. Guide the withdrawal of official vehicles from the fuel market in 2025, mainly replacing them with pure electric and hybrid models. 2. From 2025 to 2030, start a mandatory withdrawal mechanism in medium and large cities and functional characteristic areas. 3. Expand the eastern developed regions in 2035, and guide the nationwide withdrawal around 2040. 4. Stop sales in 2050.

The "National VI" standard surpassed the "Euro VI" to rank among the most stringent exhaust emission standards in the world, and Hainan was the first domestic province to clearly ban the sale of fuel vehicles in 2030, which also sent many signals.

Judging from the response of domestic automakers, BYD has taken the lead, and many automakers such as BAIC, Changan, and Haima have also formulated plans to stop selling fuel vehicles in 2025.

It seems that Ren Zeping just wants to speed up the progress of stopping the sale of fuel vehicles.

But even so, it is not a good idea to suggest using industrial policy to "force back" fuel vehicles.

Fuel vehicles can be knocked down, but they should not be banned.

This is not to stand in the perspective of the horse and carriage to block the car, but to call for the visible hand to give way to the spontaneous adjustment of the market as much as possible from the perspective of market competition – those who can survive the fittest do not have to be one size fits all.

In reality, many people will use the issue of carbon emissions to justify the choice of side when "fuel vehicle PK new energy vehicle".

It is good to use carbon reduction to consciously attract consumption choices, but some popular fallacies need to be clarified, such as "new energy vehicles are all zero carbon emissions".

Some people have compared the total efficiency of the two energy consumption routes of fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles: looking at the MPG value of the vehicle emission measurement unit, the average MPG value of fuel vehicles is about 23, the good ones are 30, and the bad ones are 15-17. New energy vehicles are generally around 30, and their carbon emissions mainly come from power generation.

Compared with fuel vehicles, the main advantage of new energy vehicles is not so much carbon emissions, but rather the diversity of available energy.

Needless to say, carbon emissions are a negative externality that fuel vehicles need to actively face and address.

However, when the carbon emission quota/CCER carbon indicator trading rules are relatively perfect, it is obviously a better choice to give fuel vehicles the process improvement space to reduce carbon emissions throughout the life cycle than to directly stop.

It is important to let the carbon emission cost of fuel vehicles be borne by fuel vehicle companies, which is not impossible to achieve through market mechanisms.

From a practical perspective, there is a "fuel vehicle" option in addition to new energy vehicles, which is also good for consumers.

"Traditional car companies win in technology accumulation, and new forces are strong in user experience" is the usual judgment of many people when comparing fuel vehicles with electric vehicles.

Today, the integration and innovation of car companies in technology and experience, software and hardware has been breaking down some stereotypes.

But it should also be noted that in terms of cost performance, performance stability, driving experience, and supporting facilities, both do have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Some people like the cool interiors and smart cars of new energy vehicles, while others like the driving texture and pouring process of fuel vehicles.

Some people are troubled by the short battery life of new energy vehicles, the difficulty of finding charging piles, and the long replenishment time. Some people feel that fuel vehicles do not understand young people.

In this situation, it is obviously better to give consumers more choices than none.

From the perspective of competition, allowing fuel vehicles to compete with new energy vehicles also has more advantages than disadvantages for new energy vehicle companies.

Some people say, "In fact, fuel vehicles have been raising electric vehicles" – the value-added tax, additional tax on education fees, purchase tax, license tax, road maintenance fee, vehicle and ship tax borne by fuel vehicles are equivalent to subsidies and preferential "buy orders" for new energy vehicles.

If we say that the new energy vehicle support policies based on the promotion of the dual-carbon strategy, energy structure adjustment, infrastructure building and other factors, including green card unlimited travel, no lottery number, no purchase tax, no road maintenance fee, etc., push the competition between fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles to the situation of "asymmetric game", then after the subsidy retreat, new energy vehicle companies must rely on quality, price, experience and other factors to win the same competition with fuel vehicles.

Once there is no policy blessing and you have to rely on your strength to speak, the new car-making forces are bound to be more active and committed in solving issues such as battery life and power replacement.

From the perspective of the replacement cycle, the momentum of new energy vehicles is ferocious, but sales are still many grades behind that of fuel vehicles.

In the case of fair competition, fuel vehicles will not say no. In the short term, new energy vehicles can only partially replace and coexist with fuel vehicles.

To put it bluntly, let the market return to the market. Whether the historical mission of fuel vehicles comes to an end or not, it should be the market that has the final say, not the "standard answer" given by planning instructions.

Even if traditional car companies themselves intend to ban the sale of fuel vehicles, even if the "replacement of old and new" is a major trend, imposing a ban on sales is not a priority.

Ren Zeping himself also said that 2023 is a turning point, and the new energy industry chain will shift from policy-driven to market-driven.

Since it is market-driven, the market structure of the automotive industry should not only accommodate new energy vehicles.

Speaking of which, it is inevitable that some people will make a case for European countries to stop selling fuel vehicles.

Among them, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is "want to ban" under the guidance of administrative will, or "want to ban – research – evaluation – voting – ban" with procedural legitimacy and public opinion.

Interestingly, at the end of March, before the European Union passed an executive order to stop the sale of fuel vehicles by 2035, there was an "episode" – under German requirements, cars with internal combustion engines using carbon neutrality synthetic fuels are expected to continue to be sold after 2035, but the fuel used can no longer be gasoline.

Before that, the German government formed an alliance with the Czech Republic, Italy, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and other countries, and said "I am against".

The reason is very simple: people also want to "maintain employment" and "solid advantages".

This shows two points: 1. In some countries, banning fuel vehicles is not something that can be banned if you want to. From the proposal to the final approval, there are many procedural hurdles.

2. The actual trend of public opinion and various interest games often influence the direction of policy, so there will be a situation where "the motion takes 10 steps forward and then retreats 5 steps".

Whether or not to ban the sale of fuel vehicles is ultimately a complex issue that combines carbon reduction, energy security, economic development, and worker employment. It is not a "new energy is the future" that can be reduced.

You can draw a conclusion from the disadvantages of fuel vehicles: it’s time to let fuel vehicles quit. I can also draw a conclusion from the disadvantages of fusing to stop the sale of fuel vehicles: you can’t ban fuel vehicles.

Under the controversy, common sense still needs to be reaffirmed: the life of fuel vehicles cannot be revolutionized, but it depends on market competition, not industrial policy.

Industry observer Wang Xinxi said it very well:

iPhone replace Nokia, not by discontinuing Nokia, but by product and technical advantages.

The picture comes from NIO’s official website. If there is any infringement, please inform and delete it.

On March 1, NIO announced its financial report for 2022, with a net loss of 14.437 billion yuan in 2022, breaking the trend of gradually narrowing losses in the past two years. The market believes that it seems to return to the dilemma of being in the ICU in 2019. In comparison, Li Auto’s loss of 2.03 billion yuan is almost negligible.

Gross margin cut in half, expenses further increased, cash reserves dropped… The sustainability of NIO began to face widespread doubts, and the reaction of capital markets was more direct. On March 1, the US stock market closed down 5.96%. At $8.83, it reached a new low since the second half of 2020.

Li Bin and NIO are under great pressure.

But at the same time of huge losses, NIO is still up the ante. Recently, NIO announced that it will add 1,000 replacement stations this year to cover more markets in third- and fourth-tier cities. Li Bin believes that in addition to the first-tier market, there is still more market space to expand. The construction of the charging and replacement system is providing support for NIO to sell cars.

In addition, the Financial Union reported that NIO’s new factory settled in Chuzhou, Anhui, and will put into production NIO’s third brand Firefly. Unlike the high-end positioning of the NIO brand, Firefly focuses on low-end models, and the price range may be 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan, or even 100,000 yuan.

At this time, if combined with the construction plan of the power station just mentioned, it seems that NIO’s sinking ambition can be found. Around this phenomenon, this paper attempts to answer the following three questions:

1. Why are car companies obsessed with the lower-tier market?

2. NIO, which starts from the mid-to-high-end market, "goes down", the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

3. Is the lower-tier market a piece of fat for new power car companies?

Competing for the lower-tier market

Dcar and the China Electric Vehicle 100 Association released the "Low-tier market new energy vehicle user consumption behavior insight report", which studies and analyzes the portrait user, car purchase behavior and consumption trend of new energy vehicles in third-tier and lower cities.

The report pointed out that the lower-tier market users in the purchase of vehicles, the choice of new energy vehicles than the proportion of first- and second-tier cities, compared to first- and second-tier city users on the appearance of interior, cutting-edge technology, lower-tier market users are more concerned about parameter configuration and model price, the 150,000 yuan models are more favored.

Lower-tier market share of population

Zhang Yongwei, secretary general of the China Electric Vehicle 100 Association, made it even more clear that the new energy vehicle market will accelerate in 2023, with sales in second- and third-tier cities expected to account for more than 60%.

At the same time, our country is also accelerating the construction of new energy vehicle charging facilities. Cities in the third- and fourth-tier and below are promoting the increase of charging infrastructure building by formulating local subsidies and setting the upper limit of charging service fees. According to the latest data released by the China Charging Alliance, as of October 2022, the cumulative number of charging infrastructure in the country was 4.708 million units, an increase of 109% year-on-year.

From the current market development situation, the third- and fourth-tier markets are likely to be the next incremental space for new energy vehicles, and demand is being released.

Therefore, not only NIO, but also other new car players are eyeing the lower-tier market.

As early as three years ago, Tesla publicly announced the central city settlement plan, covering a total of 45 cities in the four major regions of China, including Yancheng, Jiangsu, Linyi, Shandong, Nanning, Guangxi, Ganzhou, Jiangxi and other low-tier cities – which was also interpreted by the outside world as Tesla’s sinking plan.

In March last year, Tesla published an article on its official account, "Tesla Village in the Mountains," describing how Cai Ge, who grew up in Panzhiga Village in Yunnan Province, inspired the villagers to replace their oil carts with Teslas.

In addition to further increasing the exposure of the original product, Tesla plans to launch a new model that is more accessible to the people, and is equipped with a more powerful, safe and cheap new battery.

The best implementation of the lower-tier market is BYD.

Data show that from 2021 to 2022, BYD’s sales of several hot-selling models in third-tier and lower-tier cities increased from 30% to nearly 40%. As of September 2022, BYD’s store ratio in third-tier and lower-tier cities was about 50%, with nearly 800 stores. BYD is reaping the growth dividends of the new energy vehicle market with its cost-effectiveness and car cost advantages.

In addition, Li Xiang, chairperson of Li Auto, said that another focus of Li Auto in 2023 is to expand the network layout of third- and fourth-tier cities. It is expected to add 50 urban layouts and 150 stores, basically completing the coverage of third- and above-tier cities.

Xiaopeng is also offering cost-effective products to the wider market. Xiaopeng P5 has the "world’s first mass-produced lidar smart car" label, and the subsidized price is 157,900-223,900 yuan. Xiaopeng’s experience center has also begun to expand to cities such as Liuzhou, Luoyang, Weifang, etc.

Second, with Tesla’s heart, lean towards BYD

However, it is a bit regrettable that the players seem to be actively planning, with the exception of BYD, most of them have achieved little.

After analyzing the sales channels of new car manufacturers such as Tesla and Wei Xiaoli, some research institutions found that their stores are still concentrated in first- and second-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, as well as in economically developed regions such as the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. Sales contributions also continue to come from these central cities.

But one thing is very interesting, today’s new car forces seem to be experiencing a "siege". Nezha and zero runners, who were originally developing steadily in the 100,000-200,000 yuan market, are focusing on the mid-to-high-end market to "gold-plated" the brand; while Wei Xiaoli, who is "looked up", hopes to use the lower-tier market to harvest more users.

From high-end to low-end, there are advantages and disadvantages. How should car companies choose? Huawei Smart Car Solutions BU CEO Yu Chengdong once said bluntly in an interview that he will not make a car within 200,000 yuan. But Che Bai think tank believes that small and beautiful cannot withstand big waves. For high-end car companies, it should impact the low-end market.

First, the high-end market is no longer attractive.

In the era when there were not so many new forces, Wei Xiaoli directly started building cars from the mid-to-high-end market, and after a period of relatively high-profile days, such as the Xiaopeng P7, NIO ES8, and Ideal ONE models, they all achieved very good results.

But Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the Passenger Federation, said that in the current domestic new energy vehicle market, the sales of models under 200,000 yuan account for more than 50%, and it is expected that the market share of models under 200,000 yuan will be more than 70% in the future. This means that the high-end market where "Wei Xiaoli" is located is more than 200,000 yuan, which is not the fastest growing range.

Take NIO alone, Li Bin once proudly said that the average price of NIO exceeded 400,000 yuan. From another perspective, 400,000 yuan has also become a gap between NIO and the vast majority of users. If NIO wants to further increase its market share, it must enrich its product system, and sinking is an inevitable choice.

Secondly, the delivery volume is an important indicator of capital to see new power.

The logic is that the automobile industry has a strong economy of scale. In their book The Automobile Industry, the British economists Maxi and Silberstone argued that only mass production of cars can make prices more acceptable to consumers, and then consumers can promote product delivery, and a positive flywheel will run. And capital is also a big fan of this theory, so delivery is their primary consideration.

However, under the premise that high-end tram sales cannot increase rapidly, NIO’s delivery volume is worrying, and it has been forced to relinquish its top position in delivery volume since 2021.

NIO’s top priority now is to find new growth poles.

At this time, the launch of Alpine and Firefly sub-brands corresponding to the low-end market may be the key breakthrough for NIO to reverse the situation. If it enters too late, the market price may be divided by BYD, Tesla and other car companies, and it will be difficult for NIO to get a share.

The advantage of the high-end market lies in profit margins, while the advantage of the mid-to-low-end market is that it can move volume and provide higher risk resistance in times of economic crisis. Therefore, even with Tesla’s heart in mind, NIO has to rely on BYD.

Fortunately, NIO has obvious advantages in attacking the lower-tier market. For companies based in the low-end market, it is extremely difficult to move to the high-end market. In turn, high-end car companies sink into the low-end market, but it is much simpler. Price reduction and reduction are common solutions.

In addition, NIO has an advantage over other car companies, which is the power station. In Xingfu Town, Boxing County, Binzhou City, Shandong Province, NIO has 500 car owners, and the town’s household registration population is only 50,000. The reason why so many people are willing to buy NIO is because of the local construction of the power station.

When NIO’s charging stations are ubiquitous, it is difficult for other brand car companies to replicate them.

III. It is difficult to steal business from someone else’s mountain

The advantage is not small, but the problem of NIO entering the low-end market cannot be ignored. One of the keys is how much money NIO still has. When NIO went public in Hong Kong in early 2022, it revealed that the cash reserve was about 60 billion yuan, but NIO’s net loss in 2021 exceeded 10 billion yuan, and the net loss in 2022 exceeded 14.40 billion.

In addition to the loss mentioned at the beginning of the article, as well as spending huge sums of money to build and replace power stations, NIO will continue to build up the ante self-made battery, successively established (Shanghai Jiading) laboratory, set up research and development, manufacturing, sales (Anhui) company, 400 million yuan to invest in Xinganda, 12 million Australian dollars to subscribe to 12.6% of the shares of the Australian Mining Company (GR). Some time ago, Jianghuai Automobile acquired some assets of NIO at a price of 1.704 billion yuan, and many media believed that Jianghuai was assisting NIO.

Secondly, downward derivative models are not technically difficult for NIO, butBuilding a low-cost model is not easyAnd with the decline in raw material prices, the electric vehicle market is very likely to usher in a new round of price cuts to further compress NIO’s gross margin. At Tesla’s just-concluded investor day, Musk said that its models can further reduce costs by 50%. This undoubtedly poses a huge challenge to local new car makers such as Wei Xiaoli.

Moreover, Che Bai think tank checked the data of new energy vehicles to the countryside activities and found that traditional car companies are the well-deserved main force – BYD, Great Wall, SAIC, Jianghuai, Dongfeng, Chery and other traditional old car companies, vehicles are mostly small and mini cars priced below 100,000 yuan and with a cruising range of less than 300 kilometers.

In 2022, only a few new car brands such as Zero Run and Hezhong participated in the new energy vehicle to the countryside activity, and all "Wei Xiaoli" were absent. Why did this happen?

Different from traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles put forward higher requirements for the after-sales services of automobile companies and the construction of local charging pile supporting facilities. Traditional car companies have more scale advantages in production and more perfect channel construction in the lower-tier market.

It is undeniable that the lower-tier market is the next traffic depression, but for most current car players, it is also a place full of thorns. Is the traditional car company relying on favorable terrain to continue to advance, or is the new force swooping into the battle? It is still unknown, but it is not up to NIO to choose.

Looking back at the price of Tesla Model X at that time, which was nearly one million yuan, it firmly stood in the position of a high-end brand, but since 2010, Tesla has been in a state of loss, and even reached the brink of life and death. It was not until 2016 that Tesla turned to the public to make a profit. Therefore, we might as well give domestic new cars some more time.

For more than 30 years, Wang Jianlin, the head of Wanda, has many friends, and even more people claim to be his friends, but there are not many "true friends" who are willing and able to pull him in times of crisis. Especially after 2018, Wang Jianlin’s circle of friends, some are imprisoned, some are too busy to care for themselves, and they still expect him to pull a hand.

If the standard of "true friends" is never to leave, Pony Ma, the founder of Tencent, will definitely be on the list of Wang Jianlin’s circle of friends and rank among the top.

On July 21, the shareholders of Beijing Wanda Investment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wanda Investment") changed, and 49% of Wanda Investment’s equity was transferred to Shanghai Ruyi Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shanghai Ruyi").

On the evening of July 23, the details of the transaction emerged. The buyer, China Ruyi (00136.HK), announced that it had entered into an equity transfer agreement on July 20, and the transaction consideration of 49% of the shares was 2.262 billion yuan.

Wanda Investment is the controlling shareholder of Wanda Film. Including this transaction, this is the fifth transfer of equity assets involving Wanda Film this year. Through these transactions, Wanda has cashed out about 7 billion yuan, part of which is used to "step on the point" to repay the debt. The latest news shows that Wanda has transferred the principal and interest funds of 400 million US dollars of bonds due on July 23.

Why should Shanghai Confucianism and Italy send charcoal in a hurry to solve Wanda’s urgent need to repay its debts? The grass snake gray line is hidden in its capital background.

Public information shows that Shanghai Ruyi is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China RuyiEvergrandeAfter several transactions, Tencent is now the controlling shareholder.

At present, the prospect of Wanda’s listing is uncertain, the debt concentration expires, and the selling of assets to cash in can’t help but remind the outside world of six years ago, also under the pressure of debt, Wanda sold off its assets and "broke its arm to survive". After that transformation and privatization, in early 2018, it was Tencent that took the lead, joined JD.com, Sunac, and invested 34 billion yuan in Wanda to "untie" Wanda and support its valuation.

Wang Jianlin was born in the tail of the planned economy, grew up in Sichuan, joined the army in Jilin, and started in Liaoning; Pony Ma grew up in Shenzhen, the bridgehead of reform and opening up. The two people, who are 18 years apart, have very different personalities and experiences. It is in the tide of private economy that they gradually come to the same end.

After taking the lead in investing in Wanda, Wang Jianlin and Pony Ma have been tied to the same boat. From the "Teng Million" cooperation in 2014, to Tencent’s leading investment in 2018, and then to the current delivery of life-saving money, Wanda’s two most dangerous turns, Tencent’s figure has always been around.

"After years of business and wealth, everything has always come to nothing." This is a poem written by Wang Jianlin many years ago. If not for Pony Ma, the metaphor of "everything" coming to nothing may have come true.

01

The first turning point in the lives of 68-year-old Wang Jianlin and 51-year-old Pony Ma both took place in 1989.

In 1986, Wang Jianlin switched from the army to serve as the office director of the Xigang District People’s Government of Dalian City. In 1989, he came to Xigang District Housing Development Company as the general manager, which was the predecessor of Wanda.

Also in 1989, Pony Ma was admitted to Shenzhen University. Shenzhen University did not have the astronomy department that Pony Ma was most interested in, so he settled for the next best thing and entered the computer major of the Department of Electronic Engineering.

From the perspective of the time, the two people were of different ages and backgrounds, and their life paths were very different, so there was no possibility of intersection. But with the vigorous development of the private economy, the two gradually came together on the road to business.

In September 2013, Hurun rich list, Wang Jianlin with 135 billion yuan wealth, more than Zong Qinghou family, the first time to become the Chinese mainland "richest man", this is the first time the real estate boss to get the "richest man" title. On the list, Pony Ma with 62 billion yuan wealth ranked third, when real estate was in full swing, the Internet is in the limelight, the former’s growth rate made other industries look at, the Internet’s growth rate made real estate developers are shocked.

As a commercial real estate leader, Wanda began to feel pressure from e-commerce platforms. Wang Jianlin once said that he "wants to establish an Internet e-commerce website that is different from Taobao and JD.com".

And Tencent, which has a social empire, also wants to make a difference in the field of e-commerce, so in 2014, facing a common opponent, Wang Jianlin and Pony Ma came together as "e-commerce partners".

In 2014, Wang Jianlin introduced Tencent, Baidu, the three giants announced the establishment of Wanda e-commerce company, Wanda Group held 70%, Tencent, Baidu held 15%, and plans to invest in the next five years 20 billion, to build the world’s largest O2O electricity supplier company.

Wang Jianlin’s expectations for this project are not high, and the lineup of "Teng Million" is also luxurious enough, but this seemingly strong and powerful commercial aircraft carrier is unfavorable. After the first phase of 5 billion yuan of funds burned out, Tencent and Baidu announced their withdrawal, and Wanda E-commerce ended hastily.

The failure of the "Teng Million" alliance is not surprising. The three companies seem to be strong, but none of them have e-commerce genes. The experience of the leading party Wanda in traditional commercial real estate has become a shackle for its e-commerce development.

This cooperation ended without success, Wang Jianlin 5 billion bought a lesson, but also harvested the friend of Ma Yun, this friendship will play a key role in the future.

02

In June 2017, a risk investigation letter from the China Banking Regulatory Commission pushed Wanda to the bottom, and Wanda’s six overseas project financing encountered strict control.

Real estate is a high-wire business, and the financing channel is the balance pole held by real estate developers. The two ends of the pole are assets and liabilities. The investigation of the Banking Regulatory Commission has greatly affected Wanda’s financing ability, and Wang Jianlin has to sell assets.

In July 2017, Wanda’s 13 cultural tourism projects and 77 hotels were packaged and sold to Sunac and R & F. Speaking to the media, Wang Jianlin said: "The transfer of the project can greatly reduce the debt of Wanda Commercial and further realize asset-light operation."

The move to sell assets at a low price has made the outside world question Wanda’s capital chain, but from the logic of buying and selling, Wanda sold assets at the same time, but also quickly reduced its liabilities, without hurting its bones. According to the financial report data, Wanda Group’s revenue in 2018 was 2142.8 billion yuan, completing 101.6% of the annual plan.

Wanda was able to escape from this crisis, except for Wang Jianlin’s decisive means of "breaking the wrist of a strong man", the actions of Pony Ma and others were also contributed.

On January 29, 2018, the official website of Wanda Group announced that Tencent Holdings, as the main sponsor, signed an agreement with Sunac, JD.com, Sunac China and Wanda Commercial in Beijing, planning to invest 34 billion yuan to acquire about 14% of the shares held by investors when Wanda Commercial Hong Kong H shares were delisted. According to this calculation, the total valuation of Wanda Commercial exceeded 240 billion ********ch higher than the 196.50 billion yuan at the time of delisting.

For Wang Jianlin, this financing is "three birds with one arrow". First, this financing solves the problem of overseas debt; second, by partnering with Tencent again, Wanda can tell the story of "new consumption" to the outside world; third, the support of the four giants’ real money allows the outside world to re-see Wandai, and Wang Jianlin can accumulate strength and seek listing again.

According to media reports, the deal was personally decided by the "No. 1" of the parties. Wang Jianlin personally called Pony Ma, Zhang Jindong, Sun Hongbin, and Richard Liu. After the four were basically finalized, they were handed over to the investment department to follow the procedure. The transaction took less than half a month from negotiation to finalization.

At that time, Caixin reported that this was a "marriage-style investment", and the two most important parties in the "marriage" were of course Wang Jianlin and Pony Ma.

Although the previous cooperation ended in vain, the degree of attention that Pony Ma attached to this cooperation only increased. In May 2019, the always low-key Pony Ma, surrounded by security and staff, walked into Wanda Plaza in Beijing Fengtai Science and Technology Park.

And Wang Jianlin, who is known as "never shopping", spent 2 hours walking around the Wanda Plaza side by side with Pony Ma. The online and offline "traffic king" is framed in the same frame, which aroused the imagination of the outside world.

03

However, less than a year after the same frame, the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, and both companies were affected. No matter how few of them shared the same frame, the vision of new consumption and smart retail was rarely mentioned again. It was not until the listing of Wanda Commercial Management was blocked and Wanda was once again mired in rumors of a liquidity crisis that Pony Ma’s figure reappeared behind Wang Jianlin.

In 2018, Wanda Commercial renamed itself Wanda Commercial Management and divested its real estate development business. In 2021, Wanda Commercial Management divested its business again, further lightening its assets, and seeking to re-list through its subsidiary Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management.

In order to promote the listing, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management has introduced a strategic financing of up to 38 billion yuan in 2021, and the investor lineup is luxurious, including CITIC, China Merchants Group,Country GardenWait, Tencent is also among them.

However, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management has failed three times in a row and submitted its fourth statement on June 28 this year.

The IPO time table has been delayed frequently. In addition to facing the pressure of failing to gamble and repaying tens of billions of investment funds with principal and interest, under the influence of pessimism, Wanda has once again fallen into a liquidity crisis. On June 28, Wanda Commercial Management announced that the registration process of 6 billion yuan corporate bonds previously applied for issuance was suspended, and Fitch, Standard & Poor’s and other institutions have also downgraded Wanda’s rating.

In order to re-prop up the "balance pole", Wang Jianlin had to sell assets again. Since March this year, Wanda’s companies have transferred shares and assets related to Wanda Film five times, cashing out about 7 billion yuan. The latest transaction, the opponent is China’s Confucianism controlled by Tencent, and Tencent’s living water has once again flowed to Wanda.

Of course, this time to help Wanda, not only Ma Yun alone, in July 11th, Wanda investment also 2.173 billion yuan trading consideration to the Oriental wealth controller wife Lu Lili transferred 180 million shares of Wanda Film stock.

In fact, under the accelerated recovery of the entertainment industry, Wanda Film is currently one of the few chips for Wang Jianlin to ease liquidity pressure. IPG China Chief Economist Bai Wenxi told Lunch Finance that Wanda Film is currently one of the listed company targets under Wanda Group that are of good quality and easy to strategically transfer or reduce holdings in exchange for repayment.

In addition to selling cultural assets, in May this year, Wanda also plans to sell a payment license for 1 billion yuan to rescue the emergency. Douyin Zhang Yiming is a potential buyer. At present, the two parties have initially contacted, and the transaction has not yet been settled.

For more than 30 years, Wang Jianlin has had both highs and lows in the market, and he has also been used to the ups and downs of his partners and competitors. Since 2013, Wanda has cooperated with real estate companies such as Sunac, R & F, Vanke, and has also intersected with Internet upstarts such as Baidu, Tencent, and Ali. However, in the two important turns of Wanda, only Tencent has always "never left".

From a business perspective, Wang Jianlin has keenly observed the huge changes brought about by the Internet to business, and Pony Ma also realized that online development must ultimately serve offline, which is the basis for the cooperation between the two. In an article published by CCTV recently, Pony Ma said that "the role of the platform economy in empowering the real economy, promoting technological innovation and exploring the international market is increasingly prominent".

The common goal of the two sides is only the basis for cooperation. At present, Wanda wants to sell assets, and the top Internet companies are the few buyers who have the strength to take over.

Of course, the only buyers who are capable and willing are not Ma Yun. Wang Jianlin’s Moments may welcome new members, such as Zhang Yiming, but under the long-term deep interest binding, Ma Yun may be the most important old friend of Wang Jianlin at present.
