1905 movie network feature　 The movie is already the second collaboration between Yang Mi and Huo Jianhua. The last collaboration can be traced back to "Legend of Immortal Sword and Fairy Hero III" 8 years ago. When the old partner collaborates again, the state will naturally be smoother than the first cooperation. Of course, the more familiar you are, the less "mutual black". Before the interview, Xiao Dianjun first felt the "mutual black" competition between the two at the press conference. As soon as he took the stage, Huo Jianhua complained in the "real and fake Yang Mi" segment that the real Yang Mi was "too bad in shape"; when it came to the selfie session, Yang Mi "black" Huo Jianhua was a "veteran cadre" and "can’t use high technology (selfie stick) ".

　

The whole press conference became a "mutual confrontation" show between the two old friends in front of the media. Of course, this "black" did not end because of this, and from the beginning of the interview, the two began to "complain" to each other. Because the last interview ended early, before the interview, the staff came to greet the reporter first, and the two artists may come in later. Unexpectedly, Yang Mi came in soon and started to "complain" to the reporter that Huo Jianhua was too slow and had to touch up his makeup, which was really troublesome.

　

During the entire interview, Yang Mi and Huo Jianhua joked with each other from time to time, making the half-hour interview seem to be only ten minutes long. Sitting next to the two of you, I just want to say that your beloved Sister Mi has really good skin, and "veteran cadre" Hua’s eyelashes are really long!

　

Serious Face: Everyone works hard to make movies

　

In "Rescue Against Time," the characters of the two old partners in the film are not friendly. Yang Mi plays a single mother working in a research institute. In order to save her son kidnapped by Huo Jianhua, she keeps taking risks to use unfinished technology to return to the past, and finally has to fight against three selves who mutate in time travel.

　

For Yang Mi, the biggest challenge this time is to play the same person in three different situations in the movie. "At most, she has three people at the same time, and the three personalities are reversed. Although I am not asked to play three people at the same time in one day, you have to distinguish them clearly. Even if they are only one hour and 50 minutes apart, they experience different things at each stage."

　

"I personally like the last one (look)." When asked about the comparison between the three in the play and reality, Yang Mi would immediately respond, "It must be the most timid and the cutest one (the one closest to his personality in life)."

　

And Huo Jianhua plays a bad guy who wants to seize research materials from the research institute and kidnap the single mother’s child as a hostage. This is his first time playing a villain on the big screen, and the whole play has a lot of action scenes waiting for him to complete. "It’s also a challenging thing for me to keep my health and not get hurt." Plus this is a soft sci-fi movie, which also satisfies his desire to try different feelings.

Stills from the movie "Reverse Time Rescue"

Although the two joked with each other throughout the interview, they became serious when talking about the action scenes in the movie, praising each other as "desperately Saburo", and both chose to fight in person and punch to the flesh.

　

In the film, there is a chase scene that takes place in an abandoned building, which mainly shows the characters fighting wits and bravery. When Yang Mi talks about this scene, he immediately put away his joking expression for a second, "When filming that action scene, I think the most difficult thing is to climb the railing, it is three or four floors high, seven or eight meters high, and Huo Jianhua is not wearing Weiya. The two of us are chasing and climbing on the railing, and I have to kick him. So I think everyone is working very hard and working very hard to complete it."

Huo Jianhua did physical training for the movie in the early stage

The excellent action scenes of the two also made the producer Jackie Chan take the initiative to send Weibo to cheer on Yang Mi, praising her for really growing up. In fact, in the early stage of filming, they also made a lot of preparations. Huo Jianhua usually keeps exercising, but because the character himself has a background in special forces retirement this time, he also did some more professional training such as guns and fighting. For Yang Mi, who plays a scientific worker in the movie, in addition to doing more training in physical fitness, he will also let himself "try to find the state of a scientific worker".

　　If BYD is mentioned after the college entrance examination this year, we will definitely think of the national second volume "Enterprise A". The only mysterious enterprise in China that has mastered the core technology of "Three Electricity" is BYD.

　　Coincidentally, Ms. Wang, the female owner of BYD Han whom Xiaobian met today, wrote her graduation thesis on BYD and successfully passed the thesis defense.

　　The weather was very hot. When Xiaobian strode to the appointed teahouse, a white BYD Han came into view. Looking intently, Ms. Wang also sat in the car for the summer. Although wearing lovely round-rimmed glasses, Ms. Wang’s rigor and dignity as an auditor have been integrated into a calm expression. "Auditing to buy a car must also be infected by work, with a very in-depth understanding and diverse comparisons!" I can’t help thinking like this in my mind and wondering why Ms. Wang chose Han. But in the follow-up interview, Ms. Wang’s answer to this question inevitably surprised me.

　　After noticing me, Ms. Wang immediately warmly invited me to the car for the summer. I asked Ms. Wang why she didn’t go to the teahouse to have tea while blowing air conditioning. Ms. Wang chuckled: "I think the air conditioner and seats in the car are more comfortable." After sitting in the car, Xiao Bian, who ran all the way under the big sun, couldn’t help sighing: "Comfortable!"

　　After a simple interview in the teahouse, I learned that the reason why Ms. Wang chose BYD Han turned out to be "love at first sight", which seems to be quite different from my judgment.

　　Ms. Wang said that after winning the new energy index last year, she had no idea about buying a car. Because although Ms. Wang is a senior auditor, she doesn’t know anything about cars. She is a complete white boy.

　　Ms. Wang first met Han in July last year. When she and her mother took their children to get together for shopping, it coincided with the BYD Han New Car Exhibition. She and her mother fell in love with Han, who is fashionable and atmospheric, and took many photos back and forth. After returning home, Ms. Wang and her lover in the automobile industry talked about Han. Ms. Wang’s lover is engaged in the automobile manufacturing industry. After consulting her peers in the industry, they all agreed that BYD’s battery is safe and reliable, and Han is indeed a car with high cost performance and worthy of first choice.

　　After Ms. Wang’s lover returned to China, they only went to the 4S shop to see the car once, and even decided to buy Han without a test drive in person. The comfortable seat feeling and large space once again firmly grasped Ms. Wang’s heart that was deeply attracted by the fashion style of Han.

　　After booking the car, during the long waiting time, Ms. Wang was overwhelmed by her graduation thesis, and there was no subject matter and no starting point. When the instructor said that the thesis should be close to life and have real data, Ms. Wang immediately thought of BYD Han EV’s sales model, and completed her thesis writing and defense with the topic of "Discussion on the Fire Fighting Mode of China New Energy Vehicle Enterprises’ Vehicle Sales under BTO Mode-Analysis of BYD Han EV Model Sales and Supply Mode". Speaking of this, Ms. Wang could not help feeling: "BYD Han really brought me a lot of good luck."

　　When asked about driving experience, what Ms. Wang mentioned most was automatic parking. "For me, although I have got a driver’s license for more than eight years, I haven’t touched a car since I left driving school, so my desire for automatic parking is no less than encountering water in the desert." Ms. Wang said. In addition, Han’s 360 images and lane departure warning function are also very popular with her. Ms. Wang thinks Han is really a car that is particularly friendly to novices.

　　In addition, Ms. Wang also said a habit that makes people laugh. Her daughter, who is only three years old, likes the smart central control screen in the car. The central control screen has everything that children can play on their mobile phones. Compared with playing with children’s mobile phones, Ms. Wang prefers to let children watch the central control screen, because it is far from the back seat, which can better protect children’s eyesight.

　　"Sometimes when a child falls asleep, I put him under the seat and put him on the seat for fear that the child will fall, and there is just a raised place on the bottom of the back row. It can also be used as a pillow, which is safe and comfortable." Ms. Wang said with a smile. Ms. Wang’s way of "dad taking care of the baby" can’t help but make us laugh.

　　When mentioning the opinions of friends around her about buying an electric car, Ms. Wang is proud of her car. When I first mentioned the car, my friends around me were asking, "Why did you buy a tram? Insufficient motivation? Will climbing be boring? " Most people’s concept of trams still stays at the level of "old man’s music". But after experiencing Han, they were all very surprised and said, "This car is even stronger than a fuel car!" .

　　In addition, the air quality in the Han car was also praised by Ms. Wang’s friends. This is not surprising. As far as I know, Han EV has won the honor of the annual recommended model of China Automobile Research Health Index with the highest single item and the highest total score. Up to now, Han EV has got the highest single historical score of EMC (comprehensive evaluation of electromagnetic compatibility and anti-interference of vehicles) with full marks, and the highest single historical score of VOC (volatile organic compounds in vehicles)-odor with 97.5 points, ranking first in the single and total scores of all five-star models. There are 41 models including Tesla participating in the selection. It is not an exaggeration to say that BYD Han EV is the vehicle with the highest air quality in the car.

　　After the interview, I couldn’t help feeling deeply about BYD. The choice of "love at first sight" did not make Ms. Wang hit a wall. BYD, as the leading car company in China, completely captured the heart of a car owner. When I first met Ms. Wang, I only thought that she was a rigorous and dignified auditor. But when talking about BYD Han, the smile on her face was warm and sincere. It seems that Han brought her more than good luck.

In addition, the group’s senior executive director, Yosuke Maezawa, and its executive director, Yutai Murakami, recently publicly stated that Kao Group’s advantages in the China market are Fulifang Si and Kerun, and for these two brands, the group chose to build a factory in China. "We will focus on the younger generation of consumers in China and grasp the local market changes in product manufacturing." SENSAI, a high-end skin care brand under Kao Group, is expected to open a physical flagship store in Shanghai this year and enter the high-end beauty market in China.

China has become L ‘Oré al’s second largest market in the world, and Estee Lauder called "China as the growth driver".

Compared with Japanese companies, the semi-annual reports of European and American beauty companies came earlier. In July this year, L ‘Oré al Group took the lead in releasing the results for the first six months. During the period, the group achieved a total revenue of 20.57 billion euros (about 161.99 billion yuan), a year-on-year increase of 13.3%. Regionally, during the period, the Group achieved growth in all regions. Among them, the China market recovered strongly in the second quarter, with a net sales growth rate of 7% in the first half of the year. The North Asia market with China as its regional headquarters grew by 3.9% in the first half of the year. It is not difficult to see that China, as the second largest market of L ‘Oré al in the world, is very important for its development.

In the analyst conference call after the announcement of the financial report, Nicolas Hieronimus, CEO of L ‘Oré al Group, listed China as one of the "five major growth contributors". He mentioned that the sales generated by China consumers at home and abroad accounted for about 23% of the Group’s sales, with an increase of 10%, which was ahead of the market average.

L ‘Oré al’s "old rival" Estee Lauder also recently announced the fourth quarter and full-year results of fiscal year 2023. In the whole fiscal year ending June 30, the group’s net sales reached 15.91 billion US dollars (about 115.9 billion yuan); The net profit was $1.01 billion (about RMB 7.4 billion). Among them, the net sales in the Asia-Pacific region increased by 4%, with an increase of 36% in the fourth quarter. At the performance briefing, the group highlighted that most markets, led by Chinese mainland and Hongkong, have achieved double-digit growth.

The group also said that Chinese mainland’s e-commerce business achieved excellent performance every month in the fourth quarter, achieving organic growth of over 30%, and its market share in high-end beauty products increased by 2 percentage points. Estee Lauder believes that in the future, Chinese mainland and tourism retail business will remain the main driving force for the company’s long-term profit growth.

The performance of luxury beauty brands has suffered from "Waterloo", which is caused by purchasing?

With the increasing number of tourists around the world, beauty groups have focused on tourism retail business. However, Beiersdorf Group seems to have encountered "trouble" in this business.

In the first half of this year, the net sales of Beiersdorf Group increased by 12.3% year-on-year to 4.936 billion euros (about 38.6 billion yuan). Specifically, during the reporting period, the sales of the group’s consumer goods business unit increased organically by 14.9%, and all skin care products achieved double-digit growth, among which the sales of the core brand Nivea increased organically by 18.4% year-on-year.

It is worth noting that the beauty brand Leponi, which belongs to the luxury goods business of Beiersdorf, suffered a performance "Waterloo". During the reporting period, the brand’s net sales decreased by 9.9% year-on-year to 294 million euros (about 2.3 billion yuan). Beiersdorf said that the main reason for the decline in performance was that Daigou had caused great damage to the Asia-Pacific tourism retail market.

In fact, many beauty and luxury goods groups mentioned the keyword "purchasing" in their financial reports. Some enterprises have an immediate impact of slowing performance after cracking down on purchasing, and at the same time, they are willing to give up short-term interests to protect the long-term value of the brand.

For example, L ‘Oré al Group said in a conference call after the release of the semi-annual report in 2023 that the slowdown related to purchasing in major markets in South Korea and China and Hainan put pressure on L ‘Oré al Group’s tourism retail performance in the first half of the year. Ye Hongmu expressed his measures and determination to maintain the China market. He said, "Our first task is to ensure the rights and interests of our brand and the China market. Protecting brand equity is a major reason for L ‘Oré al’s increasing market share in China. "

The Beijing News Shell Finance reporter learned that L ‘Oré al Group has been reducing the price difference between other retail stores in China and those in Hainan by increasing the price of duty-free shops in Hainan, so as to avoid excessive discounts or unreasonable prices in the tourism retail business. Based on this concept, the group has set up a working department named CCCT to ensure that the price and promotion level of tourism retail will not damage its daily profit in China market.

In addition, at the beginning of 2023, the top executives of luxury goods giant LVMH showed their determination to resist beauty purchasing at the analyst conference call after the 2022 financial report. Bernard Arnault, CEO of the group, for example, said that in the past three years, the duty-free shops in South Korea were empty, but the duty-free business recorded high income. The reason behind this is that the products are directly transported from the warehouse to the professional purchasing hands, and then sold at a discounted price.

Jean-Jacques Guiony, the group’s chief financial officer, made it clear at the meeting that in order to protect brand assets, Luwei Mingxuan Group has made up its mind to eliminate all parallel channels of tourism retail around the world. The annual profit of the perfume and cosmetics department of the group also fell by 3% due to the termination of this channel business.

In this regard, Zhou Ting, president of VIP Research Institute, believes that beauty purchasing is the hardest hit area for fake beauty products, which not only affects the brand image, but also causes huge losses to brand sales and profits. Combating fake products is the general trend and the inevitable choice for all brands and enterprises.

Zhou Ting said that purchasing this kind of behavior disrupts the market order and affects the price policy for brands, so that brands can’t directly face and serve customers; For consumers, giving fake goods an opportunity, the rights and interests cannot be guaranteed, and the final damage is themselves. She believes that purchasing must be resolutely resisted.
