The reporter learned from the Shenzhen Municipal Transportation Commission that the current proportion of pure electric taxis in Shenzhen has reached 99.06%, basically realizing the full electrification of taxis. By the end of 2017, all buses in Shenzhen have been fully electrified, which means that Shenzhen has become the first city in the world where buses and taxis are basically fully electrified.

As one of the 13 pilot cities of our country’s "demonstration and promotion of energy-saving and new energy vehicles", Shenzhen has been the first to promote new energy vehicles nationwide since 2010. At present, the fuel surcharge for fuel taxis in Shenzhen is 2 yuan/time. It is estimated that the annual surcharge for 21,400 electric taxis in Shenzhen is as high as 625 million yuan. Wang Huimin, a pure electric bus driver, told reporters that the cost of fuel vehicles per 100 kilometers is 77.55 yuan, and the maximum cost of electric vehicles is 25.3 yuan, which can be reduced by 67%.

According to statistics, after the full electrification of urban buses and taxis, Shenzhen’s annual emission reduction of nitrogen oxides and other pollutants is 869.6 tons. The annual reduction of carbon dioxide emissions is 2.209 million tons, which is almost equivalent to the carbon emissions of 800,000 household cars. Shenzhen’s transportation industry has also reduced fuel emissions by more than 95%. Low-noise pure electric vehicles also reduce noise pollution during driving.

"The windshield display of pure electric taxis will also appear in Luohu, Futian and other words. I will choose the vehicle on the way when I take a taxi, and I will no longer be afraid of being rejected by the driver," said Sister Min Wang of Shenzhen. The pure electric taxis in operation in Shenzhen are also equipped with intelligent end points, which realize functions such as facial recognition, real-time panoramic monitoring, accurate metering and multi-electronic payment.

The large-scale promotion and use of pure electric buses and taxis has also driven the rapid development of Shenzhen’s new energy industry. In 2017, the added value of Shenzhen’s new energy industry reached 67.64 billion yuan, an increase of 15.4%. Today, Shenzhen has become the largest and most clustered city in our country’s strategic emerging industries. BYD, a locally grown car company in Shenzhen, has been the global new energy vehicle sales champion for three consecutive years. New energy buses and taxis made in Shenzhen are also galloping in more than 200 large and medium-sized cities around the world, including London, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Sydney.

　　　 On the evening of October 31, the closing ceremony of the Shanghai World Expo was grandly held in the World Expo Performing Arts Center. At the closing ceremony of this Shanghai World Expo, Huang Yi, Jackie Chan, Liu Xiang and Tan Jing, the ambassadors of the "World Expo Volunteer Gesture", stood on the stage of the closing ceremony of the World Expo together with many disabled people. Huang Yi joined them in heart and sang a song to congratulate the successful conclusion of the World Expo. In an interview, Huang Yi said: "We should treat disabled people as our friends rather than objects of help, communicate with them with our hearts, and start bit by bit in life.

　　　 Huang Yi participated in the closing ceremony of the World Expo as the only mainland actress invited, and her pure appearance was as kind and pleasant as the girl next door. She appeared with Jackie Chan, Liu Xiang, Yang Lan, Li Ning, Tan Jing, Jin Jing, Lin Zhiling and other stars to pay tribute to the Expo volunteers. In Tan Jing’s singing, she interacted with the children from Shanghai Blind Children’s School cordially, and took a group photo on the stage. Huang Yi also specially sent Haibao candy cans to blind children. Huang Yi felt very honored to be able to participate in the World Expo performance, especially the section he performed. "It is a very warm program. The success of the World Expo cannot be separated from so many selfless volunteers. These children may not be able to see it, but they can hear and feel the love and encouragement everyone sends to them. "Backstage, Huang Yi especially went to the lounge of these blind children to visit them. When he heard" Little Swallow "Huang Yi coming, the children cheered and hugged Huang Yi one after another. Huang Yi also suddenly became motherly and hugged them one by one.

　　　 As an ambassador for the World Expo gestures, Huang Yi, like Jackie Chan and Tan Jing, has personally experienced the work of "cabbage", distributing World Expo flyers on Century Avenue, giving directions to passers-by and answering questions. She said with great emotion: "To be honest, this is a bit boring work, doing the same thing repeatedly every day, and explaining it to others very patiently every time. This is a job that is particularly worthy of our respect, and these volunteers are taking their own time off to do this work, working hard every day to stay at their jobs. They may not have the opportunity to see such a wonderful World Expo. I think their spirit is particularly great." The "Yidong Fund" initiated by Huang Yi has always adhered to the charitable concept of "accumulating small love and making great love". From the details of life, Huang Yi himself has always been enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings. He has appeared in various public welfare occasions, doing his own thing and giving his love to people in need.

Ren Xianqi was in Shanghai yesterday

　　Ren Xianqi came to Shanghai yesterday with his new album "Waiting Together" for an interview with reporters. Ren Xianqi always gives the impression of an honest and good man, but coincidentally, the album includes another song "Tracheitis", which makes people want to take a seat. However, when it comes to this topic, Ren Xianqi tries his best to distance himself from it and says that the most important thing for men and women to get along with each other is to respect each other.

　　Men and women get along well

　　Asked about his own views on the relationship between husband and wife, Ren Xianqi took Donnie Yen’s line from "Ip Man" to answer: "There are no men who are afraid of their wives, only men who respect their wives." He also did not think that "wife is strict" is a derogatory term. "I think this song will resonate more in Shanghai. Shanghai men are more gentle and can do housework." He said that men and women should get along with each other, respect each other, and even treat each other like guests. "Usually, try to say’please ‘and’thank you’ as much as possible, but the simple response is a good lubricant when getting along." A reporter questioned, didn’t that seem very unfamiliar? Ren Xianqi smiled and said: "In private, you can add another’dear ‘ah!" He also has his own explanation for "machismo": "A big man should be responsible, able to shelter a woman from the wind and rain, and resist things that should be resisted, rather than shouting loudly at women."

　　Celebrity couples are more stressed

　　In the entertainment industry recently, many celebrity couples have divorced or had disputes. Ren Xianqi said that celebrity couples do have a lot of pressure. "All families have disputes, but the pursuit and excavation of the media will bring pressure to the celebrity family." Different people’s different opinions often "disrupt a pool of spring water." "It is difficult for a clean official to break up the family affairs, let alone so many clean officials?" He also disagreed with Jia Jingwen’s proactive approach to the media. "Is the media helping or causing trouble? It is difficult to say the follow-up development."

　　So he tried his best to keep his family away from the media, not letting his children take advertisements, and avoiding crowded places to play, but it was also difficult to be foolproof. Before he took his children to Disneyland to play, he was photographed. "Do I take my children to play in the middle of the night? Sometimes when I go to small European countries to play, I can suddenly hear people calling my name." Reporter, Xia Qi

"Nongfu Spring is a little sweet." This advertising slogan left a deep impression on the public and made Nongfu Spring a household name in the water drink brand. Tracing the history of the brand, Nongfu Spring opened up the water drink market with its own differentiated marketing strategy, competing with long-established water drink brands such as Wahaha and Master Kong, and even maintained the first market share of packaged drinking water in China for eight consecutive years from 2012 to 2019.

With the upgrading of consumption and the improvement of economic level, the consumption field is constantly changing, and the water drinking track is constantly subdivided. As an old player in the industry, Nongfu Spring is not easy. But the recently released semi-annual report seems to let us see the huge potential of Nongfu Spring.

revenue and net profit double growth

On August 25, Nongfu Spring released its 2021 semi-annual report. According to the financial report data, Nongfu Spring’s revenue in the first half of the year was 15.17 billion yuan, an increase of 31.4% year-on-year; net profit was 4.013 billion yuan, an increase of 40.1% year-on-year. It can be seen through the financial report data that Nongfu Spring’s revenue and net profit achieved double growth in the first half of this year.

From the product point of view, Nongfu Spring multiple product lines to help revenue. According to the financial report, Nongfu Spring packaged drinking water revenue 8.119 billion yuan, an increase of 25.6% year-on-year, accounting for 58.8%; tea beverage revenue 2.182 billion yuan, an increase of 36.4%, accounting for 14.4%; functional beverage revenue 2.004 billion yuan, an increase of 38.4%, accounting for 13.2%; fruit juice beverage revenue 1.224 billion yuan, an increase of 29.9%, accounting for 8.1%; other categories (including coffee drinks, soda water, plant yogurt, gas-flavored drinks) total revenue 846 million yuan, an increase of 86.8%, accounting for 5.5%.

From the gross profit margin, Nongfu Spring gross profit margin continued to grow. According to the financial report, Nongfu Spring gross profit in the first half of the year was 9.241 billion yuan, an increase of 33.7% over the same period last year, and gross profit margin also increased by 1% to 60.9%. Master Kong and Unified are the top players in the water market, and gross profit margin only fluctuated around 30%. Nongfu Spring’s high gross profit margin promoted double income in the first half of the year.

From the cost of sales, Nongfu Spring relaxed cost control. According to the financial report, the cost of sales of Nongfu Spring in the first half of the year was 5.934 billion yuan, an increase of 28% year-on-year. Among them, sales and distribution expenses were 3.554 billion yuan, an increase of 31.92% year-on-year, accounting for 23.4% of revenue; other expenses were 55.757 million yuan, an increase of 1186.5% year-on-year, accounting for 0.4% of revenue.

In the first half of the year, Nongfu Spring’s product sales volume, gross profit margin, and sales cost all increased. It is not difficult to see that Nongfu Spring has increased its investment in sales costs to enhance profitability, and has taken improving product sales volume and gross profit margin as a breakthrough point, thus boosting both revenue and net profit growth.

Track exploration of double growth

For enterprises, whether it is revenue growth or net profit growth, there are traces to follow, and Nongfu Spring’s double growth is no exception. Nongfu Spring showed in its financial report that this is due to the increase in the company’s product sales, changes in product structure, and effective control of PET costs.

First of all, the consumption environment has improved, and the sales of Nongfu Spring have begun to recover. According to the financial report, due to the stable epidemic prevention and control in the first half of the year, the national economy has gradually recovered, the overall market sales have improved, and the beverage industry has been further developed. According to the preliminary accounting data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the retail sales of beverage consumer goods in the first half of the year were 135.40 billion yuan, an increase of 29.2% year-on-year. With the improvement of the market environment, the sales of various categories of Nongfu Spring have also gradually recovered.

Secondly, Nongfu Spring continues to launch new products to enrich product types. In terms of packaged water, it has launched high-margin new products such as "Changbai Snow" and "Wuyi Mountain Tea Water". In other sub-segments of water and beverage business, Oriental Leaf has launched two new flavors: "Green Orange Pu’er" and "Xuan Rice Tea"; Screaming has launched a new "isotonic" series; soda water has launched four types of sparkling water: Dawn White Peach, Mojito, Hyuga Summer Orange and Chunjian Oil Orange. The launch of various series of new products can better seize the water and beverage market.

Finally, Nongfu Spring’s PET costs in the first half of 2021 are lower. PET, or polyester resin, is obtained through petroleum cracking and is the main raw material for the production of product bottles. In 2020, the international crude oil price fell, and the price of PET fell together. Its prospectus said: "We have seized the opportunity to purchase PET to reduce the cost of raw materials." Nongfu Spring has stored enough PET to reduce the cost of raw materials. As the cost of PET has fallen, Nongfu Spring’s gross margin has also increased.

The double growth results achieved by Nongfu Spring in the first half of the year were not only affected by the improvement of the domestic consumer industry, but also benefited from its own forward-looking. The dual reasons together helped Nongfu Spring achieve revenue and net profit growth.

There are still concerns after double growth

The water drinking track has entered the most lively time, new and old players are struggling to seize the market, and getting consumer recognition has become the core of the current competition. Nongfu Spring has achieved double growth in the first half of the year, can it maintain its record in the second half, keep up with the pace of the team, and not be kicked out?

First, a peach triggered a marketing crisis for Nongfu Spring. "The flavor of white peaches at dawn, white peaches at dawn are produced in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan." Anyone who reads the sentence will think that the raw materials are from Fukushima, Japan, but Nongfu Spring’s public relations department has a "new explanation". The official response is difficult for the public to be angry, but it has instead put the brand in the awkward situation of "real Fukushima or fake marketing".

Although the marketing overturn was not reflected in the financial report released this time, it was reflected in the capital markets. In the three trading days after the public response of Nongfu Spring, the share price of Nongfu Spring fell one after another, falling by 1.58%, 2.72% and 0.89% respectively, and the share price fell below 39 Hong Kong dollars per share.

Secondly, the offline channel encountered challenges. Yuan Qi Sen Lin captured a group of consumers with his sparkling water, and also adopted the traditional "freezer war" in the lower-tier market, which caused the freezers placed by Nongfu Spring, Master Kong and other brands to be returned by merchants. In order to snipe Yuan Qi Sen Lin’s freezer placement plan, Nongfu Spring launched the "God of Wealth" activity nationwide in an attempt to stabilize offline sales.

Finally, new products appear frequently, but there are no explosions. In recent years, Nongfu Spring has continuously expanded its layout in the water drinking track, and each sub-track has launched products. Although the category update speed is fast, it lacks bright spots. Since the launch of Tea Pi in 2016, there has been no popular drink, making it difficult to seize the market.

Even if Nongfu Spring has achieved the current double growth, it is not safe to rest easy. Nongfu Spring is encountering a marketing crisis while being robbed of sales channels by new players. At the same time, it is also facing the problem of having new products without explosions. Industry giants are also slightly tired when encountering menacing opponents, and the situation is not optimistic.

There are constantly new categories flooding into the water drinking track, and the competition is extremely fierce. Judging from the past situation, no brand can sit at the top. Blindly re-engraving the trend period of dividend products without seeking innovation, not only can not bring new experiences to consumers, but also make consumers taste fatigue, and in the long run the brand will lack competitiveness.

Nongfu Spring has built a moat of natural concepts, has a broad consumer market, and has laid mature sales channels. It has obvious advantages and strong ability to face risks. In the face of the impact of new brands, it is better to use static braking and continue to develop new products on the basis of solid foundation. Catering to the current new consumption trend, challenging consumers’ taste buds, and starting to build its own products into "Everred Products" to achieve the next double growth.

On October 17, the Baidu World Conference 2023 was successfully held in Beijing. At the Whole House Intelligent Big Model Application Forum, MPE Smart Bed & Xiaodu Whole House Intelligent officially reached a strategic cooperation.

Xiaodu whole house intelligence is built by Baidu’s artificial intelligence brand "Xiaodu", with advanced AI and smart home technology, based on DuerOS, integrated into ERNIE Bot, with leading voice technology and large model capabilities, and is one of the leaders in the field of whole house intelligence.

What is a smart bedroom?

In the field of "whole house intelligence", there is no room with the highest demand for intelligence than the bedroom. Just because it is impossible for people to operate the central control when they are asleep, the bedroom needs "wisdom" more than other places in the home.

The core of a smart bedroom lies in whether it can perceive the environment, determine which plan to run in the current scene, compare, analyze, and make decisions about external information, and actively adjust the micro-scene plan based on human needs.

The MPE smart bed, the creator of sleep micro-scene integration, joined hands with Xiaodu Whole House Intelligence to give the answer.

Sleep micro-scene integration creator

As the pioneer of smart beds, MPE has been building a "smart bedroom ecosystem based on one bed", which fits well with Xiaodu’s whole house intelligence. After MPE’s self-developed AI voice technology is connected to DuerOS, it can control the whole house through voice. Through voice technology and large model capabilities, it can achieve word-for-word accurate recognition, control the core appeal, and give solutions; it can also automatically adjust the preset mode in various micro-scenes by sensing the environment:

It was getting late, and when you were ready to go to bed and enter the bedroom, the bedroom curtains had been drawn, and the air conditioner had already made the room "neither hot nor dry";

?Relax and read a book before going to bed, gently shout "leisure mode", and adjust it to a suitable angle;

When you start to get sleepy, you can shout "deep sleep mode" softly, MPE will adjust the smart bed to level, and all electrical appliances will enter sleep mode;

After a while, you will enter a deep sleep and start to snore. The head of the MPE smart bed is raised to an appropriate angle to reduce the duration of snoring and ensure sleep quality;

When getting out of bed at night, the bedside light is lit, and the soft light is enough to see objects and ensure safety.

At the wake-up time you set, open the blackout curtains little by little, raise the head of the bed, and play music. After a good night’s sleep, you wake up gracefully and naturally.

Know what you need, everywhere

With the improvement of large model capabilities, the future home will be smarter, and the bed, as the most important component of the bedroom, has an irreplaceable role in the smart bedroom scene. MPE always believes that from "smart" to "smart", the most useful way is to let the smart bedroom understand what you need, adapt to the situation independently, and provide a high-quality sleeping environment.

In the future, MPE smart beds and Xiaodu whole-house smartphones will continue to create a warm, personalized, and intelligent life for users, transforming the bedroom into the future and creating an extremely comfortable smart sleep experience.

Entering the winter, takeaway consumption and transportation demand continued to grow. On December 12, Meituan takeaway launched the winter rider recruitment, invested 100 million yuan, opened 300,000 rider positions, continued to expand employment supply, and provided support for ensuring winter takeaway consumption.

It is reported that the winter rider recruitment investment will be mainly used for recruitment incentives in cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, as well as in areas with tight transportation capacity such as Northeast China and North China, including measures such as upgrading the "Bole Award", and riders can get up to 10,000 yuan for recommending new people. Offline, Meituan will also increase resource support for partner recruitment, and link human resources agencies in the region under the guidance of local governments to expand the coverage of recruitment information. For workers who want to increase their income part-time, Meituan further improves the "part-time model" of the special delivery site. The webmaster will provide distribution guidance. Part-time riders can also flexibly adjust their work rhythm according to personal needs, so as to achieve a balance between life and work. In order to help new riders master delivery skills faster and increase income, Meituan Takeaway has launched a "three-piece novice set" for new riders, including "rider hand-holding", "novice care sheet" and "novice disclaimer card". At present, more than 30,000 old riders have joined the "master group" to provide one-to-one training for new riders. The online learning platform has also developed more than 120 class skill courses for riders to learn. For rider career development, Meituan has launched rider online learning platform, webmaster training program, rider transfer mechanism, rider university and other projects to help riders career development to a higher level. At present, more than 420,000 riders have participated in the "webmaster training program".

The rider is resting in the inn

In order to strengthen the rider’s winter distribution guarantee, Meituan has invested 1.70 billion yuan in winter distribution subsidies to carry out winter care activities across the country, and has built more than 38,000 rider stations across the country in conjunction with all sectors of society, which is convenient for riders to rest and obtain supplies at any time. The emergency mechanism of "severe cold protection" has been activated. In special weather such as blizzard and strong wind, it provides assistance such as delivery time and bad review elimination, and dynamically adjusts the distribution radius to shorten the time riders are exposed to the outdoors. At the same time, riders are equipped with commonly used medicines in winter. In addition, in accordance with the national unified work deployment, Meituan actively participates in the occupational injury protection pilot in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and other seven provinces and cities to provide riders with insurance premiums and more comprehensive work safety.

Meituan takeaway rider service department said that winter is a critical period for takeaway delivery, and it is also the focus of distribution security. Meituan takeaway will continue to increase the recruitment of riders, do a good job in logistics for riders’ winter delivery, and strengthen the capacity guarantee of winter takeaway consumption.

In response to the labor fluctuations in the takeaway and distribution industry, Zhang Chenggang, director of the China New Employment Form Research Center and associate professor of the School of Labor Economics at Capital University of Economics and Business, said that the labor supply and demand situation in the takeaway and distribution industry has always been in a dynamic balance. Winter is the peak season for takeaway consumption, and the demand for transportation capacity expands. However, the labor market will be in short supply before the year, especially in northern and first-tier cities due to weather and population mobility. The manpower gap will be more significant. Increasing recruitment efforts by takeaway platforms and cooperative enterprises will help alleviate the labor problem. Overall, the takeaway and distribution industry is flexible and mobile. Both "labor difficulties" and "labor surplus" are short-term phenomena in some regions. They can be effectively solved through market self-adjustment. The outside world should view this rationally.

Say origin

Many young people only know Harry Potter, and I want to remind them to remember history

　　　 A hundred years ago, the Revolution of 1911, the situation, during which heroes emerged, a series of historical events aimed at *** the world and saving the Chinese nation from danger appeared one after another. The epic masterpiece "Revolution of 1911" originated from the previous cooperation between Shanghai Film Factory and Jackie Chan. During the discussion, the two sides collided with the topic of "Xinhai". After some explanation, Jackie Chan immediately decided to devote himself to this film.

　　　 Speaking of the beginning of the film’s preparation, Jackie Chan bluntly said that he was in awe of history. "I believe that through this drama, more people will understand the 1911 Revolution and the pursuit of democracy by that generation. There is less and less mention of the 1911 Revolution, the Huanghuagang Uprising and even Huang Xing, and the new generation can easily forget history. Many of them only know Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings. We make this kind of historical theme in the hope of reminding young people and hoping that they will reread history. So I put aside other things and make this movie!"

Say partner

The division of labor is different, Zhang Li takes the car and I drive

　　　 As a native of Hong Kong, Jackie Chan confessed that he was "very unfamiliar with the centenary of 1911, and I don’t understand many things". The addition of director Zhang Li has greatly increased the confidence of director Jackie Chan, and the two are co-directing the film.

　　　 How is the division of labor between the two? Jackie Chan revealed that in the process of early conception and specific shooting, he has the voice over and dominance on historical issues to his partner Zhang Li, and he is responsible for co-ordination and overall operation. Regarding the first collaboration between the two directors, they were tacit and seamless. Jackie Chan said figuratively: "He drove, I took the car, and he drove as he said. At the fork in the road, I said I should take this line, so take this line."

Together, they have reshaped the box office rankings of Hong Kong film history. This year, the number of viewers of Hong Kong films is also the largest in the past three years. Has Hong Kong film ushered in an explosive recovery?

Four box office hits, Hong Kong films come back?　

"Tomorrow’s War" and "I Still Think You’re the Best" have not only surpassed "Cold War 2" at the box office, but also exceeded one million viewers.

In addition to these two hits, in the summer from July to August, the box office of "Family Spicy" starring Jiang Tao exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars. "Superstar" starring Jiang Tao (Hong Kong title "Grandma has a second") is also approaching the 40 million box office.

According to the statistics of 1905 film network, from 1987 to 1995, at least three Hong Kong-made films exceeded the box office 30 million in Hong Kong every year, and the number exceeded ten in 1992. The last time there were four Hong Kong-made films at the box office exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars, or frame freeze in 95, respectively: 56.91 million, 45.67 million, 35.23 million, 33.77 million.

Although ticket prices in Hong Kong cinemas are now more than double what they were in the 1990s, and there is inflation compared with the past, these four films still have very important indicative significance when they reappear after 27 years.

At the beginning of the year, Hong Kong cinemas were completely closed for more than three months due to the impact of the pandemic. After resuming business on April 21, the market gradually picked up in May and June, and the attendance rate increased to normal levels. The release of "Family Spicy" on July 14 set off the first wave of "return" movie viewing craze for Hong Kong audiences.

"Tomorrow’s War", "I Still Think You’re the Best" and "Superstar" have all received praise from Hong Kong audiences. All three films have a score of 7 on WMOOV, a well-known online movie platform in Hong Kong. "Superstar" topped the list with 7.9, the best reputation among audiences.

At present, "Tomorrow’s War" has landed in Hong Kong theaters for two months, and "I Still Think You’re the Best" has also lasted for more than a month and a half. The two films continue to make moves to maintain their endurance and boost the box office.

"Tomorrow’s War" adds an animated prequel 30-second prequel trailer at the end of the original film to attract more audiences to watch in theaters. The filmmakers recently announced that from October 20, anyone who buys two tickets to "Tomorrow’s War" in theaters will receive a "prequel Symphony Commemorative Ticket".

"Still Think You’re the Best" took advantage of the victory to launch an extended version on October 15, adding 6 minutes of new clips to the original, including four never-before-seen scenes. At the same time, the film company launched a board game of the same name, a full record book of film creation and screenplay, and held a wide-ranging meeting to help maintain the popularity of the market.

However, the film market cannot just watch a few movies that have achieved good results in the popular schedule, such as "Beauty in the Heart", (Hong Kong title "All the way to the pupil"), etc. The box office is not as expected, and the reputation is also average.

It can be seen that the current Hong Kong film has a rare state of "two superpowers and two strong", but there is still a long way to go before a full-scale revival.

To defeat Stephen Chow and surpass "Chills 2", why?　

As the largest sci-fi blockbuster in Hong Kong’s history, "Tomorrow’s War" created the best opening result of a non-holiday Hong Kong film in the past five years on its first day of release, and also broke the best opening result of a starring film in the past year. The film quickly broke through 20 million Hong Kong dollars in 4 days of release, and broke through 30 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week, galloping all the way to the cinema.

The reason why this film was able to win the box office championship of Hong Kong film history Chinese film from "Cold War 2" is its integration of Hong Kong-style police and gangster films and mecha sci-fi films, the breakthrough of Hong Kong sci-fi film production technology, the observation of Hong Kong’s local stories, and the hard publicity of the producer and star Gu Tianle.

The low-budget production of "Still Think You’re the Best" has succeeded in a small and broad scale. Who would have expected it to overtake Chow’s many comedies all the way, and it is expected to become the first comedy in Hong Kong’s film history to break the 70 million box office.

Why is "I Still Think You’re the Best" the biggest dark horse of the year?As a well-known local comedian in Hong Kong, he has always had a box office appeal that cannot be underestimated. In recent years, he starred in the tenth box office of Hong Kong film history comedies, and "What Generation Grandmaster" also won about 30 million box office. It is the hottest movie in Hong Kong during the Spring Festival in 2020.

The film has a strong "happy event" series of comedy spirit, which has revived the vitality of Hong Kong’s classic star-celebrating comedy, which is also a big factor in its box office surge.

In 1988, the leading 37.09 million broke the box office record of 34.65 million, and then he used this as a model to create "auspicious star" and "97 happy events" in the 1990s to enter the top of the Hong Kong box office, the reputation is good., Zhou Xingchi, starring in the 92 version of "Happy Events at Home" is still one of the top ten hit comedies in Hong Kong.

Since 2010, Huang Baiming has once again reinvented the "Happy Event" sign, launching "The Strongest Happy Event" and "Happy Event at Home 2020" in succession, winning the box office and losing word of mouth. The quality of the film and the cast are not as good as before.

"Still Think You’re the Best" can be described as "full of color and fragrance". It not only brings the old taste of Hong Kong-made New Year’s comedy, but also deeply depicts family conflicts and love relationships between men and women. It also hits the majority of Hong Kong audiences, which is also the key reason why it can break the billion box office in the mainland.

According to data from Lighthouse Professional Edition, in the mainland market, 48.8% of the number of people who wanted to see the film came from Guangdong Province, which also ranked first in the box office contribution. "Still Think You’re the Best" firmly grasps the core tastes of audiences in the Greater Bay Area.

The comedy "Family Spicy", which is close to the family story of local Hong Kong people, also won the resonance of Hong Kong audiences. The film tells the story of a family who started a new business by making and selling chili sauce under the epidemic, and is full of warmth and hope in laughter.

Based on this wave of enthusiasm, the director of "Still Think You’re the Best" has expressed the hope that the original crew can reunite for a new play. It can be seen that in the future, this kind of Hong Kong-style family comedy sketch will continue to be rejuvenated and is an indispensable force in the Hong Kong film market.

The two big winners in Hong Kong this year are Koo Tian-le and Koo Tian-le: In addition to "Tomorrow’s War", Koo Tian-le’s Tiantian One Film Company also participated in "Still Think You’re the Best" and "Family Hot". In addition to "Still Think You’re the Best" and "Cold War 2", Jiang Zhiqiang’s Anle Film Company occupies three of the top four seats in Hong Kong’s film history box office.

"Fight side by side, go down together", they support local stories and support new directors. Just as "Tomorrow’s War" and "Family Hot" jointly thanked the votes, "Still Think You’re the Best" and "Late Night Dodgeball" also did the vote-thanking activities together, from the past to the present, Hong Kong filmmakers have shown the spirit of unity and forge ahead under the Lion Rock.

Overseas blockbuster top the chart Hong Kong film market for many years, "tomorrow’s war" and "still think you are the best" outstanding performance, shows that Hong Kong-made films are returning to the Hong Kong audience’s vision, the two films are far from enough to sell, Hong Kong film market to reproduce the 80, 90’s brilliant scene, but also need more good stories, more new breakthroughs.
