  Landmap’s mission is to compete head-on with fully electric Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi.

  Reporter Du Qiaomei, reporting from Chengdu

  "Lan Tu should not become Wei Xiaoli, nor will it become Wei Xiaoli, nor will it become Avita and Zhiji. Lan Tu has its own mission and positioning."

  On August 26, at the just-opened 2022 Chengdu International Auto Show, Liu Zhanshu, who joined Lantu in a low-key manner and served as the deputy general manager of Lantu Automotive Sales and Service Co., Ltd., publicly accepted for the first time, includingWhen interviewed by reporters and other media, the brand positioning and mission of Lantu Automobile were reaffirmed.

  Data show that on July 17, 2020, Dongfeng’s high-end new energy brand Landmap, which has been brewing for nearly two years, was officially unveiled. As an important strategic layout of Dongfeng Company, Yoyah is not affiliated with any independent passenger car brand under Dongfeng. It is an independent new high-end brand with an independent development strategy, business model, organizational structure, and leadership team.

  "Lantu calls itself the" new strength "of car manufacturing. It is an enterprise born with the support of central enterprises and positioned as a high-end new energy brand in the country. Lantu’s mission is to compete head-on with ABB after it is fully electrified," Liu Zhanshu pointed out.

  However, Lantu, which was born two years ago, experienced sluggish sales growth after entering 2022.

  The latest monthly FMCG data released by Dongfeng Group shows that in July 2022, the total sales volume of Lantu automobiles was 1,793 units, and the cumulative sales volume in the first seven months was 8,375 units. If the mass production starts in August 2021, the cumulative sales volume of Lantu automobiles has been 15,166 units in the past year.

  As a high-end electric brand built by Dongfeng Company with the strength of the whole group, Lantu is not under little pressure. Especially in the second half of this year, with the new brand of "Wei Xiaoli", the second-tier new force Nezha is running up and attacking, and the independent car companies are collectively attacking the high-end of smart electricity. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and other traditional luxury companies are accelerating their electric transformation, and Lantu will also welcome more competitors.

  It is worth noting that at the 2022 mid-year work meeting held on July 8, Lantu Automobile sorted out the key work in the second half of the year, put sales work in the first place, and adjusted the sales target to 31,000 vehicles, challenging 37,000 vehicles.

  Subsequently, Lantu Automobile ushered in a major overhaul of its executive team.

  It is reported that Liu Zhanshu, who was responsible for user relationship development in Extreme Krypton, joined in June this year, responsible for user relationship development and user operation.

  "At present, Landmap has three major pain points, the first is the problem of popularity, the second is the problem of prestige, the third is the problem of sales, and these three are the core problems." Liu Zhanshu told reporters that in response to the current problems, the current strategy of Landmap is to make breakthroughs in key cities, and to make breakthroughs in key platforms, key regions, and key groups.

  In Liu Zhanshu’s opinion, the current sales momentum of Landscape is always upward, the popularity of Dreamer after listing is also higher than expected, and it is still in a state of shortage. With the delivery capacity enhancement of Dreamer, Landscape’s sales will go up another level.

  "Lantu adheres to the long-term approach. At present, this track has just undergone a new round of reshuffle, which is equivalent to the first 100 meters of the marathon. Lantu is happy to see competition. In addition, the Lantu automotive industry also has enough funds, technology and talents to support this track to take the long-term approach," Liu Zhanshu told reporters.

  In addition, in response to the young and personalized needs of the market, Lantu released the first personalized customization ecology of Chinese brands at this auto show, and the "customized version" of Lantu FREE DNA was launched simultaneously with the Dreamer private customization version.

  According to the introduction, Lantu Automotive Personalized Customization Ecology provides two services: "front loading" and "rear loading". Among them, the front loading meets the common needs of users, and is co-created by Lantu with users and ecological partners before mass production; the rear loading is based on mass production vehicles, Lantu meets the individual needs of each user, and adopts customized solutions such as kit customization and boutique customization. At the same time, Lantu Personalized Customization Ecology provides a co-creation platform for all ecological partners.

  According to the plan, in the second half of this year, Lantu will continue to enrich its product matrix, and its third model and first sedan will be officially unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November.

  The following is a transcript of the interview, with excerpts:

  "" (Hereinafter referred to as" 21st Century "): At this Chengdu Auto Show, the products of independent brands in the high-end new energy field have been released one after another. Is Lantu facing pressure and challenges? How to consolidate the first-mover advantage?

  Liu Zhanshu: In June, the sales volume of Landscape increased by 33% month-on-month, and in July, it increased by 50% month-on-month. So far in August, the double-digit growth is completely no problem. At present, the sales momentum of Landscape has been upward. The popularity of Dreamer after its listing is also higher than expected, and it is still in a state of shortage. With the delivery capacity enhancement of Dreamer, the sales volume will go to another level.

  The high-end new energy track is actually getting bigger, and the market will not get smaller because more products appear. Take MPVs as an example, traditional fuel MPVs are a declining market, but six-seat medium and large MPVs and SUVs, especially luxury models, are on the rise. Lantu is not worried about having more competitors.

  At the same time, the trend of the global automotive industry is to shift from fuel vehicles to electrification, but the current penetration rate of electric vehicles is 25% -35%. From another perspective, 70% of people are still driving fuel vehicles. This market is still very large.

  At present, this track has just undergone the first round of reshuffle, which is equivalent to the first 100 meters of the marathon. Lantu is happy to see the competition. In addition, the Lantu automotive industry also has enough funds, technology and talents to support this track to take the long-term approach.

  "21st Century": From a product and marketing perspective, is Landmap more a benchmark for new car makers or central and state-owned enterprises?

  Liu Zhanshu: Lantu calls itself the "new strength" of car manufacturing, because the genes are different. Lantu is an enterprise born with the support of central enterprises and is positioned as a high-end new energy brand in the country. Lantu’s mission is to compete head-on with ABB when it is fully electrified.

  Therefore, Lan Tu should not become Wei Xiaoli, nor will it become Wei Xiaoli, nor will it become Avita and Zhiji. Lan Tu has its own mission and positioning.

  21st Century: What challenges does Landmap face in marketing?

  Liu Zhanshu: At present, Landscape has three major pain points. The first is the issue of popularity, the second is the issue of prestige, and the third is the issue of sales. These three are the core issues.

  In terms of communication, Lantu’s current strategy is to focus on key cities for breakthroughs. The first step is to focus on 8 key cities that account for more than 50% of Lantu’s total sales. The first stop is Wuhan, and the second stop is Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, and Chengdu.

  To key platforms, key regions, key people, a city breakthrough, the current sales of key markets has been increasing, which has great benefits for the improvement of the efficiency of the map.

  Landmap FREE was developed against the Audi Q5L and Mercedes-Benz GLC, and its workmanship and mechanical quality are no less than ABB’s in terms of handling, performance, space, and even chassis stability and comfort.

  In addition, Lantu is currently one of the most expensive brands among its own brands, hoping to become a truly high-end new energy brand in China.

  "21st Century": How do you see the recent debate on extended-range and plug-in hybrids in the market? What is the future path of Landmap?

  Liu Zhanshu: There is no best technology or the best route problem, the route requested by the user is the best route. The process of switching from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles does not happen overnight. Many users still want to maintain the driving habits of fuel vehicles and enjoy the fun of electric vehicles. These user requests are still there, and the range extension takes into account this demand to some extent.

  Landmap products are derived from ESSA’s native architecture, which can not only be used for pure electric but also for hybrid technology output. Dreamer is not a simple range extension, but an intelligent multi-mode drive. Landmap has recently maintained a dual-power strategy, that is, pure electric plus range extension or intelligent multi-mode drive two lines in parallel, and gradually switched to the pure electric market.

  "21st Century": What are the reasons behind the launch of the official customization ecology at the auto show? How to balance large-scale production and personalized needs?

  Liu Zhanshu: Firstly, based on the insight into the young people, the younger the user’s demand for personalization is more; secondly, the customized version of the model is more exaggerated than the original, the traditional air intake grille on the front face is reduced, and two air intakes are added on the side. The elegant body lines and outer surrounding decoration are selected on the side of the body, which makes the overall sense of strength stronger, which is very popular among young people; thirdly, the performance of the customized version of the model has been greatly improved.

  Through pre-modification, it meets the common needs of some users, and more personalized needs include personalized customization of afterwear.

  From an industry perspective, this is the first front-loading custom ecosystem in the automotive industry. Both FREE DNA and Dreamer have different partners participating in the co-creation. Lantu hopes to strengthen the custom ecosystem or the modification culture of electric vehicles, and change the prejudice in the industry that "electric vehicles are not suitable for modification".

  21st Century: What are the market expectations for FREE DNA and Landmap Dreamers?

  Liu Zhanshu: Landscape FREE DNA is limited to 3,000 units. This is the sales expectation. Landscape is testing the waters with Landscape FREE DNA this time. If the performance is good, more different versions will be launched in the future. In the end, it depends on the performance of the market.

  "21st Century": This year is considered the first year of new energy MPV. How do you see the competition in the industry?

  Liu Zhanshu: This year is indeed the first year of new energy MPVs. Not only are there Hongqi, JK-009, and Tengshi D9, but the MPV market is expanding, not competing in the original track, especially in terms of safety. Dreamers are very competitive.

  In terms of target market, the Dreamer focuses on business scenarios and is also a car that is well-suited for families.

  "21st Century": What are Lantu’s next plans for products and technologies?

  Liu Zhanshu: The Chengdu Auto Show released FREE DNA, and the third flagship model will be released at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November this year. It will also be a flagship sedan. So far this year, including SUVs, MPVs, and sedans, the first step of Lantu’s product layout has been completed, and we will launch more rich products in the future.

  In terms of technology, the third model will be the first model based on the SOA architecture in China.

  "21st Century"; What are your plans for the overseas market?

  Liu Zhanshu: Lantu landed in Norway in June this year and is currently considering expanding into the entire European and Middle Eastern markets.

??Editor-in-chief comments:It’s on the market, and there are a lot of highlights. What Kunlun Extended Range, Huawei Dry Smart Driving, Hongmeng 4.0 car machine… I’ve heard of it and haven’t heard of it. So the question is, there are a total of 6 cars for Extended Range and Pure Electric, which one is the most suitable for ordinary consumers? From the current level of social development, the PRO Extended Range Edition with the starting price is the most realistic. Although the starting price of the pure electric version is only 10,000 more, considering that there is still limited power and power outages due to disasters in various parts of the country, the extended range is more suitable for most consumers. And the expensive MAX extended range version is only an improvement in function configuration, and the pure electric battery life has not changed, so this 20,000 is definitely better than buying those system configurations that may be iterated in half a year…

??On September 26, 2024, the Avita 07 model was officially launched. The new car is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, providing pure electric and extended range power systems. It is also the first model of Kunlun Extended Range. A total of 6 models are launched, and the price range is 21.99-28 9,900 yuan.

The pure electric version will also add an active air intake grille. The double-layer LED daytime running lights on both sides are very unique, and the headlights are cleverly hidden on both sides of the front envelope. The side of the car adopts the belly line shape of the front and rear closed with a small angle of the rear window, which makes the whole car full of momentum. The body length, width and height are 4825/1980/1620 (1610) mm, the wheelbase is 2940mm, and two sizes of 20-inch and 21-inch rims will also be available.

In addition, this car still uses a luminous LOGO. It is reported that the new car will offer five appearance colors: gravel black, white, rock gray, crystal green and star purple.

??The car is equipped with Huawei high-end smart driving and HarmonyOS Hongmeng cockpit, with Huawei smart central control screen, 35.4-inch 4K remote screen and two 6.7-inch electronic external rearview mirror screens (high-end). In terms of materials, it is covered with soft materials.

As soon as the price of Lantu Dreamer comes out, D9 will be calm: D9 pure electric version or pre-sale 450,000 yuan

The domestic MPV market is getting hotter and hotter, and domestic new energy brands are concentrating their firepower to enter the mid-to-high-end MPV market. Among them, the most anticipated in the near future are the newly listed Lantu Dreamer and the Dengshi D9 to be released on May 16.

On May 7, Landmap Dreamer released products positioned at medium and large MPVs. Among them, the price range of the pure electric version is 36.99-689,900 yuan, and the price of the refreshed domestic MPV is a new high.

On May 10, Tengshi Auto Weibo officially confirmed that the new car will be released on May 16. And Tengshi D9 pure electric version or pre-sale 450,000 yuan.

Tengze also released the official official pictures of the D9 pure electric version and the plug-in version later. The biggest change of the two models is the front grille. The pure electric version is a straight waterfall closed grille, which is somewhat similar to the Landscape Dreamer style, but the chrome plating is slimmer.

The front grille of the plug-in version is a chain mail design, which is visually similar to the Toyota Elfa.

The interior design of Tengshi D9 adopts a simple style, the lines have a certain fluidity and ductility, and from the center console, gear lever and other designs, you can still find the shadow of the BYD family. Integrated 15.6-inch central control screen, built-in Tengshi Link super intelligent interaction, with BYD’s smart vehicle to everything technical support.

Tengshi D9 adopts a 7-seat layout of 2 + 2 + 3, with a body length of 5.2 meters and a wheelbase of over 3 meters. The whole series is equipped with a standard electric sunroof plus a large canopy, with double electric sunshades, and the electric sunroof can be opened/closed with one click. Not only that, but the sound insulation of the double-layer glass canopy can effectively isolate the outside world.

Standard double-sided electric sliding doors, standard four-door double-layer silent glass. The electric sliding door can maximize the passenger experience, equipped with four-door double-layer silent glass, pursuing a sense of driving silence. In addition, high-end brand tires are also standard.

As a new energy MPV, we still need to take a look at the core technology of the D9. In terms of power, the D9 will use two power modes, pure electric and DM-i plug-in, of which the DM-i version has a comprehensive battery life of 1000km.

In addition, a two-wheel drive/four-wheel drive version is available, of which the four-wheel drive version can have a combined torque of more than 600N · m, and is likely to be equipped with the Han DM-P superhybrid system. A variety of driving modes are available, and the heat pump system can meet the operating temperature of -30~ 60 ° C.

As a joint venture brand between Daimler and BYD, Tengshi’s upcoming MPV has been attracting attention since the two parties adjusted their ownership of Tengshi in December last year.

The future will be led by BYD, and the new car will also be built with BYD’s new energy technology. Daimler’s shareholding will be reduced to 10%. Although Daimler and BYD will continue to promote cooperation in battery supply and other aspects, Dengshi will also fade out of the Mercedes-Benz dealer channel.

With BYD’s current strength in the field of new energy and the brand of Tengshi, the future of Tengshi new cars should be getting better and better.

Finally, for the Denza D9 and Landscape Dreamer, they seem to be similar in size and positioning, and both use pure electric and range extension/plug-in modes. The era of new energy MPV has arrived, which one will everyone prefer?

In the past three years, "Embroidery Spring Knife" has undergone repeated reviews by countless audiences, two-dimensional elements, detail parties, and even weapon fans. It still maintains a good reputation and still maintains a good score of 7.4 on the always harsh Douban platform. At the same time, the voice of movie fans for the continuation of "Embroidery Spring Knife" is also growing louder.

 

Three years later, director Lu Yang returned with the original behind-the-scenes and a new lineup to present the latest installment in the "Embroidery Blade" series, "Embroidery Blade · Shura Battlefield". Regarding the timeline and story of this installment, Lu Yang made no secret: "The whole is brand new, only two characters are retained, and the rest are new characters. We also found a good historical node to cut in, so that this installment is related to the previous one. You can say it is a prequel, but it is also an independent chapter, similar to a new possibility of Shen Lian in a parallel universe."

 

In "Embroidered Spring Knife · Shura Battlefield", Lu Yang comprehensively upgraded the lineup, technology, and story, and created a "Ming Dynasty version" with Ling’s passionate action design. Cruelty and romance, passion and softness are symbiotic, interpreting the "Embroidered Spring Knife Aesthetics". After the film’s advance screening at the Shanghai International Film Festival in June, it has gained an excellent reputation. Then even the domineering announcement: from the original release on August 11, a total of 23 skies will be raised for three weeks and it will be fully released on July 19. This massive upgrade also created a new record in the history of Chinese film. Such an aura that "he is as fast as the wind" meets the audience can be said to be someone else. After the film premiered on July 16, a large number of tap water praise exploded Weibo Moments, and the audience Uncle Cai said: "Compared with the two, I prefer 2, which is very beautiful! Most of the martial arts movies in recent years can only see Wu, while" Embroidery Spring Blade · Shura Battlefield "can see a big man!"

 

In front of the stage and behind the scenes "Master Like Lin" Ning Hao supervised the production of the golden horse team to break through the previous work

The lineup of "Master Rulin" in "Embroidery Spring Sword Asura Battlefield" includes the best actor Zhang Zhen, the first-line flower Dan Yang Mi, Shidi Zhang Yi, the powerful actor Lei Jiayin, and the old drama bone Jin Shijie; the golden horse team, the soundtrack god Kenji Kawai, and the theme song singers Tan Weiwei and Zhou Shen. There is also director Ning Hao’s blessing and supervision, and Lu Yang has achieved "two swords". Regarding this heavy joining of Ning Hao, Lu Yang said: "Director Ning Hao will directly say whether this thing is good or not, and he will let me not immerse myself in my own perspective. The investment and matching, the introduction of resources are controlled by Director Ning Hao, but he is very assured and gives us absolute freedom. I am grateful to have him as the supervisor."

 

The collision of the new star cast also sparked a different kind of spark. Zhang Zhen, who was called by Lu Yang as "for me, it is equivalent to Matt Damon’s" The Bourne Shadow ", once again dedicated his usual high-level performance. Shen Lian’s" torn, suppressed, and forbearing "was naturally revealed. And the new addition, Yang Mi," received "with a" pink, sweet, romantic "character aura, presenting an unprecedented sense of CP. In addition, Zhang Yi’s wily calculation, Lei Jiayin’s funny role, Xin Zhilei’s silent waiting, and Jin Shijie’s calm atmosphere all impressed the audience who walked out of the screening venue in advance. Especially after the premiere on July 16, more supporting actors who performed at a super level also "surfaced": Liu Duanduan, Wu Qiang and other actors who participated in the film for the first time all began to attract fans. Phoenix, a media person, wrote: "The story is connected one by one, not giving people a chance to breathe. Especially in the performance, everyone is acting online! Zhang Zhen and Shen Lian have achieved each other’s achievements, and the outstanding performance of several supporting actors Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, and Liu Duanduan is surprising." Some audience members directly asked Lu Yang after the screening: "Where did you find so many low-key actors with explosive acting skills?" There were also a large number of audience members who praised: "Lei Jiayin has a lot of highlights, Liu Duanduan’s facial expressions are too rich, it is simply an expression textbook."

 

Emotional blazing "forbearance is like fire" One thought Shura burns through summer for sincerity

The fire of "Embroidery Chun Dao Shura Battlefield" is not the "aggression like fire" in "Sun Tzu’s Art of War". In addition to the more complex and exciting plot of suspense, there is also the determination to burn the summer season to the hottest. After the premiere viewing, the film’s solid narrative and in-place details have convinced a large number of professional media people. Film critic "Immortal Aunt Growing Up" wrote: "Very solid ancient costumes + martial arts + suspense films. Speaking of suspense, the script is solid, factional struggles, organizational chases, siblings betray, lovers betray, and various black situations unfold in the interlocking plot. Speaking of martial arts, there is a small climax every 3 minutes, a big climax every 5 minutes, and the exposure of human nature is also a layered bloom."

 

The art poster released on the day of the film’s release shows the highlight of the film’s "boat interrogation" in an impressionistic style, showing the depression of the male and female protagonists in the emotional Asura field and the upcoming fiery outbreak. In the film, whether it is the forbearance of Zhang Zhen and Yang Mi’s mutual abuse and worship; or the alternative brotherhood of Zhang Zhen, Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin; and the troubled feelings of Zhang Yi and Xin Zhilei, Xin Zhilei and Li Yuan’s mentoring and apprenticeship will move the audience. In this regard, director Lu Yang said: "Everyone in the story has a desire to break free, and they don’t want to be in hell endlessly. But maybe everyone’s way of breaking free is different. Shen Lian may be more romantic and more thorough. His breaking free itself is a very tragic move. "And this emotional expression that makes the audience" good to see and cry "is naturally full of praise. After watching the movie, the fan Wang Xiaoye’er wrote an article with emotion:" See you for the first time in the rain, but you can’t help it with a smile. In this world – how can you allow any mutual support and talk to Zicheng? Some roads never come to an end and never want to look back. Some love is not about life and death, and cannot be seen through. "

 

On the night of the film’s premiere, Lin Yuxian, the Taiwanese director who was invited to watch the film, also gave a succinct praise for the troubled times in the film: "In that era, it was worth it to stick to the love and get your name!" Zhang Ji, the screenwriter of the film, wrote: "In fact, the rivers and lakes are not beautiful, and the world is dark. But when I saw Zhang Zhen struggling to resist, I was still moved – no matter how low the dust is flying, it will not be the end of the era."

 

The reputation is strong and "not moving like a mountain" Feng Xiaogang Xu Zheng Jiaoxiongping collectively praised

After setting a new record in Chinese film history two months ahead of schedule and raising the file for three weeks for a total of 23 days, "Embroidery Spring Knife · Shura Battlefield" opened a thousand screenings nationwide on July 15 and 16, and won the domineering results of "No. 1 in attendance, No. 1 in average attendance, and No. 1 in praise rate". It ranked first in the professional rating of a ticketing platform with 8.3 points, and also got a 7.6 audience score in the always harsh Douban. Its word-of-mouth continued with the first film, maintaining the trend of "not moving like a mountain". Some media posted early after watching the film: "I hope the box office this time can be directly proportional to the word-of-mouth." And released the slogan – "Don’t miss’Embroidery Spring Knife ‘again". Lu Yang, the director, said: "I think this schedule is very suitable for this film, and I hope it can take a long time. This time I did it in my own way and made a costume action movie, and we like this movie!"

At the premiere on the evening of July 16, "Embroidery Spring Sword Shura Battlefield" conquered audiences inside and outside the industry with the spirit of "Fenglin Volcano" and its full charm, even big names in the film industry. On the same day, the famous director Feng Xiaogang appeared in surprise, and after watching the movie, he spoke with praise: "I like the last one very much, this one must be watched. No disappointment, it’s very good, and it’s very Lu Yang’s style, congratulations!" Xu Zheng, director of the Billion Club, teased: "I think it’s very good, it will make many so-called big IPs ashamed. It’s obviously original, but it’s very exciting. Zhang Zhen is so handsome, I was about to be bent by Zhang Zhen, and then I saw Yang Mi Zhang Yi come back straight. If there is a third installment, you can also consider letting me play it. "Dapeng also" invited "the third installment. He said:" I am also an actor, and I am willing to be in the same frame as Xu Zheng in’Embroidery Spring Blade 3 ‘. "

On the night of the premiere, Jiao Xiongping, the godmother of Taiwanese films, also appeared in surprise. She said: "Congratulations to Lu Yang, congratulations to Zhang Zhen, Yang Mi, I am very happy to see your huge leap." Director Zhang Yibai praised: "Director Lu Yang is so young, but his insight into human nature, his disappointment, despair and hope for human nature, is what surprised me about this film. This is a movie worth studying!"

The movie "Embroidery Chun Dao · Shura Battlefield" is the first work of Bad Monkey Film’s "72 Change Film Plan". It is written by Chen Shu, Lu Yang, and Yu Yang. Lu Yang and Ning Hao "combine two knives", and it also brings together Zhang Zhen, Yang Mi, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie, Liu Duanduan, Li Yuan, Wu Qiang, Yang Yi, Wu Xiaoliang, Li Hongtao, Liu Fengchao, Yuan Wenkang, Ma He, Liu Tingzuo, Wang Renjun and other powerful lineups.

Zhao Liying’s career is up? The first producer’s work exceeded expectations, and the first film was shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Award

Since the collective transformation of 85 flowers, Zhao Liying has been the most stable one. First, she chose to cooperate with the big factory Noon Sunshine in the comfort zone to win "Do you know if you should be green, fat, red and thin", in which Zhao Liying rarely did not use dubbing. This is quite rare in the environment where actors try to save trouble and use dubbing. It has to be said that Zhao Liying still has two brushes in choosing the script and shaping the role. Once the drama was broadcast, it became a hit and became Zhao Liying’s pension insurance.

To this day, there are still many people who revisit "I Know Whether I Know Whether I Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Skinny" when they are bored. After Zhao Liying got married and had a baby, she collaborated with director Zheng Xiaolong on the realist film and television drama "Happiness to Wanjia" about the little character "He Xingfu". For a traffic star, it is a risky act to choose to cast off the halo and star in an unpopular theme, but she also did it in order to broaden the future path of her acting career.

It is because of this drama that Zhao Liying’s malleability was once again recognized by the audience. Although she was attacked by many contemporaries because of the poor data, it meant that Zhao Liying took the second step of transformation. Then Zhao Liying chose the film and television drama "Wind Blows Half Summer" produced by iQIYI. This drama mainly tells the story of the businesswoman Xu Banxia’s business, which was rare at that time, but Zhao Liying still chose this drama.

In order to fit the role, Zhao Liying even deliberately chose to gain weight. As a result, she was criticized by many fans of the same period for not being dedicated enough, and the filming did not consider the effect of the camera. Fortunately, Zhao Liying’s performance in this drama was recognized by the industry and the audience, and she was also nominated for the Magnolia Award. Although it was a pity that she lost to Wu Yue in the end, the nomination proved that the industry recognized Zhao Liying’s acting skills, and at least she could stand on the same platform as the Tsing Yi big flowers to compete for the same award.

From this moment on, Zhao Liying’s position in the TV drama circle was completely stabilized, and she turned around to break into the film circle. As long as it is gold, it will shine everywhere. Zhao Liying soon got the opportunity to cooperate with the international director Zhang Yimou, and played the role of the deaf mother Hao Xiuping in her new film "Article 20". Perhaps because this is Zhao Liying’s first film work after transformation, her character has received high attention on the Internet.

Even once overwhelmed the female lead, Ma Li. Melon-eating netizens were very dissatisfied with this kind of behavior. Fortunately, the final results of the film were good, and Zhao Liying also received a lot of bonuses. However, the blessing of this film for Zhao Liying is more than that. On May 18, the shortlist for the 37th Mass Hundred Flowers Awards was announced, and Zhao Liying, who played the role of Hao Xiuping in "Article 20", was listed. This was a surprise for Zhao Liying. The actual achievements of actors in the film industry are box office and awards.

And Zhao Liying just entered the film industry and was able to be shortlisted is still very impressive. Fans haven’t had time to be happy for Zhao Liying’s movie role to be shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Award. The film and television drama "Walking with Phoenix", starring and producing by Zhao Liying, has held a celebration banquet. Many netizens who often mix in the entertainment industry should be very clear that the basic condition for a TV series to hold a celebration banquet is that the broadcast data and popularity are not bad, and it has been recognized by the platform and producers.

Therefore, there are so many film and television dramas broadcast throughout the year, and only a few choose to hold a celebration banquet. And Zhao Liying’s first production as a supervisor can achieve such good results, which is enough to prove that Zhao Liying not only has good acting skills, but also has a long-term vision, and can effectively control the production quality of film and television dramas. "Walking with Phoenix" belongs to the real high opening and high walking, and the broadcast performance has occupied the first place for a long time. Zhao Liying has been able to achieve such good results.

Because Zhao Liying is a producer, this drama will not be changed by magic, and there will be no supporting roles, and even the famous scenes will be restored. Zhao Liying still chose to star in the drama after the transformation, probably still wanted to give an explanation to the fans of "The Legend of Chu Qiao", so Yuwen Yue, who has not been salvaged for a long time, finally succeeded in this drama. How is this not a linkage to another degree?

When fans were happy that Zhao Liying had unlocked her new identity and achieved such good results in her first film and television production as a supervisor, Zhao Liying’s short drama "In the World" was announced on May 24. The play is a new attempt for Zhao Liying, and the Jia Xiaoduo in the play is a patient with multiple personalities. In order to figure out the psychological state and external performance of different personalities, Zhao Liying entered the group and became "hidden".

The setting of multiple personalities has cast a mysterious veil on the development of the drama’s plot, and the audience is more and more looking forward to the final presentation of the drama. On the same day, Zhao Liying’s studio sent a long message to bid farewell to Jia Xiaoduo. Through this small composition, netizens who eat melons are more and more looking forward to Zhao Liying’s interpretation of Jia Xiaoduo. First, she was shortlisted for the Hundred Flowers Award for Female Supporting, then the first producer’s work held a celebration banquet, and finally the latest work was completed, and Zhao Liying’s career seemed to be on the rise.

This is already Zhao Liying’s second work of the year. In 2024, Zhao Liying has already completed the filming of two works. It is rumored that she will soon make a cameo appearance in "Happy". So it seems that Zhao Liying is a true model worker in the entertainment industry. Even if her current achievements in film and television are impeccable, she will still want to continue to develop, tap her inner potential, and see where she can eventually go.

Zhao Liying seems to have always been like an outlier among the 85 flowers, being squeezed out by the same period of flowers, far from being as good as Yang Mi. When Yang Mi, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi were deeply in love, Zhao Liying has always been diligent in filming. Now she is far behind other competitors. She is too sober and knows what she wants from beginning to end. The frequent news of May not only makes fans happy, but also maybe for Zhao Liying herself, the hard work in the past year has finally paid off.

In fact, there are many factors for Zhao Liying’s success. One is that she chooses the script and role that suits her step by step, and it is precisely because of this that most of Zhao Liying’s resume is good drama, and it can also win the love of many audiences. The second is that Zhao Liying has a long-term plan for her career development and will not stare at the present. Although the script Zhao Liying chose at that time was not a popular script on the market, the broadcast effect was very good.

It is precisely because of this keenness that Zhao Liying can walk in front of everyone. Third, Zhao Liying is serious about her acting career, she will choose to improve herself at the right time, and will also choose a more conducive way at the right time. It is the above three points that have made Zhao Liying achieve such outstanding results in the film and television industry.

The first taxi was introduced in 1980

Although the number of private cars is increasing, taxis are still an important means of public transportation in the city. Taxi passenger transportation in Xiangyang began in 1980.

It is understood that that year, Xiangyang City Rental and Public Car Company purchased two Fiat cars for taxi passenger transportation, mainly operating chartered business.

Three years later, the number of taxis in the urban area increased to six. By 1989, the municipal government allowed state-owned, collective and individual taxis to operate in accordance with the development of the national economy. The number of taxis soared to 48, 68 in 1992 and 90 in 1993. However, at this time, the operation mode of taxis was mainly to wait for passengers and charter passengers, and still did not go to the road to pick up passengers.

In 1995, urban taxis were uniformly installed with meters, and began to carry passengers on the road, charging according to the mileage displayed by the meters.

new visit

It has undergone seven major changes

From owning the first taxi to 2018, our city’s taxi market has undergone seven major transformations.

In 1996, Xiangyang City began to implement macro-control on the total number of taxis in the urban area, and implemented the paid use of taxi management rights. In that year, taxis were uniformly replaced with "T" license plates and installed taxi headlights. In 2001, the "T" license plate number segment for urban taxis was uniformly replaced with the "X" license plate segment. There are more than ten types of taxi models such as Alto, Van, and Fukang, and the freight rates are also different.

In 2003, after the original Xiangyang County was removed from the county and set up as a district, the Xiangyang Municipal Government brought the taxis in the original Xiangyang District into the unified management of Xiangyang City. With the approval of the provincial government, Xiangyang City increased the number of taxis by 180, bringing the total to 1,700. In the same year, the municipal government decided to phase out the taxis in three years and replace them all with Fukang cars. On July 6, 2005, the last yellow-faced taxis in Xiangyang City were withdrawn from the market, and all urban taxis were Fukang models. Since August 2008, urban taxis have been gradually replaced by Elysee models.

Since 2006, in response to the impact of rising oil prices on the taxi industry, the Municipal Passenger Management Office has negotiated with the public security vehicle management, price, technical supervision and other departments, and decided to convert the fuel to gas for taxis in the city. In December 2007, the oil-to-gas conversion of taxis in Xiangyang City was completed.

In July 2013, the municipal party committee and municipal government licensed the operation rights of 500 new taxis to the municipal public transportation company, pioneering a new road of "zero docking, zero contracting, zero shift fee, and zero part money" and "public bus" in the country.

In July 2016, according to the "Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry", the city started to deepen the reform of the taxi industry. In August of the same year, urban taxis stopped collecting paid transfer fees for operating rights, and cruise taxis officially entered the stage of free use of operating rights. At the same time, the legalization of online car-hailing was quickly started. After a year of preparation, the detailed rules for the implementation of online car-hailing have been revised more than ten times and were officially announced and implemented on December 7, 2017.

On January 26, 2018, our city issued the first online car-booking business license. On March 20, 2018, the first legal online car-hailing car officially went into operation. On September 25, 2018, Xiangyang’s local online car-hailing platform "Xiangyang Travel" APP was officially launched, and Xiangyang’s taxi industry officially entered the era of "cruise + online appointment".

In October 2018, the municipal transportation department integrated the original 23 intensive management companies into three modern cruise car companies with a certain scale, further clarifying the ownership of vehicle property rights, operating rights, and company intensive management rights, and resolving industry contradictions.

Outlook

"Internet + transportation" will bring more convenience

Taxi cars have been available in our city for 39 years.

Over the past 39 years, the urban taxi industry has continued to develop through reform. Today, there are 2,200 urban cruise taxis, 4 cruise taxi companies, about 5,000 employees, a daily operating mileage of 400 kilometers for bicycles, a daily operating income of about 600 yuan, and a daily passenger volume of about 200,000. There are 15 online ride-hailing platform companies, 688 online ride-hailing cars, and nearly 6,000 drivers have applied for online ride-hailing driver licenses.

With the deepening of reform, the operating environment of taxis will continue to improve. The rapid development of "Internet + transportation" will bring more convenience to citizens’ travel.

Witnesses say

Continuously enhance the citizen’s ride experience

In December 1989, at the age of 19, Yang Yongjun joined the Municipal Passenger Transport Management Office, which was established that year, and has been a law enforcement officer for 30 years. "There were only eight people in the entire Passenger Transport Management Office at that time. Now, there are more than 30 people in our three management offices alone," Yang Yongjun said.

Yang Yongjun introduced that Xiangyang’s first taxi company was Oriental Pearl Taxi Company, which was affiliated to the Oriental Chemical Plant and had 10 Alto; after that, Hubei Chemical Fiber Taxi Company and Light Boat Taxi Company entered the taxi market; later, Auto Trade Taxi Company appeared, and the yellow face entered the lives of Xiangyang people. "In the past, we mainly cracked down on illegal operation activities, but now we mainly regulate the business behavior of licensed taxis." Yang Yongjun said that with the development of society, people have more choices when traveling. As a passenger transportation management department, we must ensure that citizens who travel by taxi have a more comfortable and comfortable riding environment, and constantly improve the public’s riding experience.
