Extreme Krypton 009 starts delivery, the fastest delivery record?

On January 15, the first pure electric MPV JK 009 under JK Smart Technology was delivered as scheduled.

As the second model of Extreme Krypton Intelligent Technology, 76 days after its launch on November 1, Extreme Krypton 009 has been delivered on schedule, and this speed may currently rank first among Chinese pure electric brands.

The first batch of users held delivery ceremonies in the delivery centers of Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing and other cities, and the executive team of JK Intelligent Technology delivered vehicles to the first batch of users in the delivery centers of some cities.

Quick review:

From the delivery time, to a certain extent, it can be explained that JK is iterating again in the whole process of development and production of the second model.

Previously, An Conghui said in an interview with the media: "The Extreme Krypton brand hopes to double its sales to about 140,000 units in 2023." As a reference, in 2022, Extreme Krypton has won 71,941 sales with the 001 model.

After updating the 2023 001, the price/performance ratio of this car has been strengthened again, and 86 and 140 kWh battery options have been added to further expand the consumer client base.

So, we can guess how much sales will be contributed by Krypton 009 in 2023?

Ask the world to announce a price reduction, while providing old car owners with feedback benefits

At 8:30 am on January 13, AITO Automobile announced that the price of the M5 EV and M7 models will be reduced, with a maximum price of 30,000 yuan. At the same time, the old owners who have already picked up the car will be arranged to give back benefits as compensation.

The specific vehicle price reduction information is as follows:

M5 EV rear drive standard version 259,800, 28,800;

M5 EV four-wheel drive performance version 289,800, 30,000;

M7 Comfort Edition 289,800, 30,000;

M7 Deluxe 309,800, 30,000.

In addition, for owners who have picked up their cars before 08:30 on January 13, 2023, we will provide feedback benefits:

M5 series will give 2 years of basic maintenance;

The first owner of the M5 EV extended the vehicle quality assurance to 8 years/160,000 kilometers and gave 120,000 AITO points, with a total value of about 33,000;

The first owner of M7 Comfort Edition and Deluxe Edition extends the vehicle quality assurance to 8 years/160,000 kilometers and gives 120,000 AITO points, with a total value of about 33,000;

The first owner of the M7 flagship extended the vehicle quality assurance to 8 years/160,000 km.

Quick review:

After the price reduction, the price of the M5 EV is basically the same as that of the Model Y rear-drive version, and the price of the M7 deluxe version is basically the same as that of the Model Y. The meaning of this wave of same-price rivalry is undisguised.

The main goal of the price reduction is to promote, and Tesla different places, ask the world did not say some understanding of the high cost of logic, but the price reduction action is called "New Year’s Thanksgiving feedback", and to have picked up the car users 120,000 points and extended warranty service.

It is both reasonable and reasonable to simultaneously compensate old users while reducing prices. This time, we have made a good template for how to deal with Tesla’s price reduction. There is a high probability that many friends will refer to this strategy in the future.

During the Spring Festival, high-speed power replacement is free! NIO announces power replacement discounts

From January 13 to February 5, NIO announced that all 346 expressway power swap stations across the country will provide unlimited free power swap services to all NIO vehicles (except for operating vehicles), among which the high-speed service area power swap stations will provide 24-hour services to provide users with more convenience during the Spring Festival.

So far, NIO has built a total of 1,307 power stations in the Chinese market, including 346 expressway power stations, and completed the layout of high-speed power exchange networks in 5 vertical, 3 horizontal, and 8 major urban agglomerations:

5 vertical: G 10 quadrillion high-speed, G 20 quadrillion Shanghai high-speed, G 40 quadrillion Hong Kong and Macao high-speed, G 50 quadrillion Kunming high-speed, G15 Shenyang high-speed;

3 horizontal: G50 Shanghai-Chongqing Expressway, G30 Lianhuo Expressway Sushan Section, G60 Shanghai-Kunming Expressway Huxiang Section;

8 urban agglomerations: Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration, Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration, Greater Bay Area Urban Agglomeration, Chengdu-Chongqing Urban Agglomeration, Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration, Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Urban Agglomeration, Central Plains Urban Agglomeration.

At the same time, NIO released the 2023 Spring Festival travel service guarantee plan. During the entire Spring Festival, NIO will have a team of more than 5,000 people participating in the service guarantee, covering six scenarios of power-up service, road rescue, road service supply station, repair and maintenance, value-added service, and online exclusive service group, to escort users’ Spring Festival travel.

Quick review:

Due to the liberalization of the epidemic policy this Spring Festival, the number of people who choose to return to their hometowns for the New Year will undoubtedly exceed the previous two years, and the national expressway will also usher in the largest passenger flow in recent years. It can be predicted that there will be long queues in the high-speed service area, whether it is gas stations or charging stations.

NIO has long laid out its own power station in the high-speed service area, and has now opened up most of the country’s major high-speed sections, providing NIO owners with a supplementary experience beyond other electric vehicle owners for long-distance travel.

With NIO announcing that there will be unlimited free power changes during the Spring Festival for high-speed power stations, the number of owners who choose to drive NIO models during the Spring Festival will also increase significantly. It is still unknown whether the high-speed power station can withstand this wave of power change pressure. We look forward to your feedback in our official community after experiencing high-speed power changes during the Spring Festival.

Focusing on parent-child travel, Extreme Fox KAOLA released

On January 9th, KAOLA was officially unveiled, officially defining it as "the world’s first smart parent-child car". KAOLA is the first scenario-driven product of JAOLA, creating a series of solutions around the scene of parent-child travel.

In order to take care of the needs of parent-child travel, Extreme Fox KAOLA has specially made 6 exclusive designs. First and foremost, considering that it is inconvenient for mothers to hold their children and open the door with something, the rear doors on both sides of KAOLA are designed with electric side sliding doors. With the induction of the welcome light after unlocking, the vehicle can automatically open the rear door at the corresponding position after touching the welcome light with their feet. At the same time, the child seat behind the main driver of the vehicle automatically rotates, making it convenient for mothers to place their children in the safety seat.

Secondly, KAOLA has a high definition camera in the back row, which can display the picture of the child in the back row in real time on the central control screen during the driving process, which is convenient for the mother to observe; at the same time, the camera can monitor the status of the child, and when the child is found crying, feeling hot or suspected of needing to change the diaper, there is a corresponding automatic treatment plan, or timely prompt on the central control screen.

In terms of interaction, it is equipped with 4-zone voice function, which supports continuous dialogue and visibility. The voice assistant can show various states such as listening, surprise, execution, and reminder. At the same time, voice commands have been customized for children. When children need to listen to stories, relevant audio content can be played. But when children make unreasonable demands such as opening windows, they will kindly decline the request.

In addition, there are many details that reflect the fact that this is a model designed specifically for parent-child travel.

Quick review:

As a market-segmented product, KAOLA has indeed made some designs that have not been seen in other models in all aspects for parent-child travel, meeting the segmentation needs of parents and mothers.

However, in order to meet these needs, the car also has some compromises. For example, the vehicle has only four seats, and one seat is an electric child safety seat, which means that the car can only seat a maximum of three adults, which is not suitable for daily transportation.

In addition, having only one electric child seat obviously does not meet the needs of families with twins or two children, further limiting the number of people the car can meet.

Extreme Fox KAOLA is very similar to those models created for niche car fans. They may not have a large audience, but they will always meet the pain points of some people.

It is the fourth model of the Deep Blue brand. After operating independently from Changan Automobile for more than a year, Deep Blue Automobile has been growing rapidly.

With the first model SL03, it started the brand volume and became the absolute dark horse popular model in the 10-200,000 price range. Deep Blue Automobile took "the first new energy automobile enterprise in the state-owned enterprise to achieve double breakthroughs in scale and profitability" as its corporate goal, and also shouted "Build the’deep bit ‘development pattern of state-owned enterprise Deep Blue, private enterprise BYD, and foreign enterprise Tesla".

Looking back at the story of the dark blue brand in the past two years since its birth on the eve of the L07 listing, it can be said to be a model example of the transformation of domestic traditional car companies to new energy.

Find your spot

Deep Blue Automobile is the second new energy brand hatched in Changan. It was established later than Avita. From the very beginning, its brand positioning and Avita have gone in two different directions, one for the high-end market and the other for the mainstream mass market. This has also allowed the Deep Blue brand to undertake the important task of Changan New Energy’s growth in the market.

In the early period of Changan Deep Blue, after the first model SL03 went on sale and rapidly expanded through the channel advantages of Changan Automobile, Deep Blue soon became famous as a latecomer.

The success of the SL03 also established the brand foundation for the dark blue car.

The 10-200,000 price range is known to be the most competitive in the market and the most difficult for car companies to hit the mass market. New energy vehicles have grown rapidly in recent years, which has caused a great impact on fuel vehicles, but this is mainly reflected in the low-end market below 100,000 yuan and the high-end market above 250,000 yuan. In the 10-200,000 yuan fuel vehicle sales volume is the largest and the most stable market price range, the overall proportion of new energy vehicles is still much lower than that of fuel vehicles.

The reason is that low-end electric vehicles within 100,000 yuan mainly meet the needs of urban transportation, and the price of more than 250,000 yuan, under the blessing of intelligence, brand and service, with the performance advantages of electric vehicles themselves, it is very good to meet the needs of high-budget consumers for high-end models.

At the price of 10-200,000 yuan, people still need to be able to bear the main products of daily household use, which need to meet various use scenarios, and have high requirements for space, configuration, performance and battery life, and can not appear obvious shortcomings. So far, new energy vehicles that can meet the above requirements are still very scarce.

SL03, which makes up for the gap in this category, its main price range is the market where fuel vehicles are more accepted and recognized by users. It is much more difficult to gain a foothold in this market than to win the high-end market of more than 300,000 yuan.

The positioning of the first model fits the gap in the market well, and also sets the image and tone of the dark blue brand. Several models currently on the market have been cultivating the market built around the SL03 in terms of price, configuration, and positioning. This is a key step for the success of dark blue.

Act of innovation

SL03 established the dual energy route of range extension + pure electricity at the beginning of its listing, which was rare in the market where both new car makers and traditional car companies were rolling in the form of pure electricity in the exploration stage of new energy.

Li Auto has only launched models since the beginning of ONE, but the high price is not acceptable to mainstream household users in the mass market. After the launch, it not only gives users dual options, but also allows the power to "afford" the position.

Deep Blue has abandoned the pure fuel route since the beginning of the development of the model platform, balancing the two types of extended range and pure electricity. This approach has not appeared before, and it is this that makes the Deep Blue SL03 extended range version have the advantages of the pure electric platform in power layout and space utilization, while the pure electric version does not compromise because of the extended range power.

This is Deep Blue’s innovative move, which not only completes the layout of dual energy forms, but also optimizes both forms.

Innovation and exploration in the energy situation have allowed Deep Blue to have a relatively loose degree of freedom in the product line, which can not only meet household needs, but also dig deeper into sub-segments. For example, the G318 launched this year is another layer of innovation completed under the deep range extension technology research and development of Deep Blue.

After the successive launch of SL03 and S07 home models, no one would have thought that Deep Blue, which aimed at the mainstream mass market, would use a large SUV for city + off-road as the third model. The launch of G318 not only made Deep Blue’s range extension technology implementation a leap and self-evidence, but more importantly, brought the price of off-road models back to the "mass range". After all, the price of off-road models built by domestic car companies is generally 300,000, and it can also meet the needs of daily urban transportation.

Born out of Changan Automobile, Deep Blue has inherited Changan’s century-old emphasis on product and technical leadership. Although it has been established for less than three years, the growth rate of Deep Blue is very fast.

Embrace the market

After changing from Changan Deep Blue to Deep Blue Automobile, it has been improving the brand operation thinking of traditional car companies in the past, and adapting to the current market competition with a more flexible and changeable style in the new energy transition stage.

NIO’s form of power exchange is unique in today’s global new energy vehicle companies. It makes the way of replenishing pure electric vehicles shift from relying on charging piles to more flexible and fast "battery exchange". After NIO has vigorously carried out power exchange infrastructure building for many years, the current domestic power exchange station layout has been relatively mature. When seeing the advantages of power exchange, Deep Blue chose to cooperate with NIO to innovate in the form of power exchange. In the future, Deep Blue will also launch models that can achieve power exchange.

Secondly, when the new energy market has moved from early electrification to intelligent stage, the competitiveness of car companies today is reflected in intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit. Compared with the intelligent cockpit, it can be completed through the cooperation of car companies and suppliers. Intelligent driving requires car companies to spend huge manpower, material resources, financial resources and time, which is not easy. Deep Blue also took the initiative to choose Huawei as a partner to make up for Deep Blue’s shortcomings in intelligent driving capabilities.

Huawei’s smart driving ability can be felt from the performance of brands such as Q Jie and Avita, and as the current global leader in smart driving, Huawei’s smart driving is also a full selling point, which can help car companies carry out effective marketing publicity. The upcoming L07, Deep Blue officially called it "the only medium-sized car equipped with Huawei’s smart driving in the 200,000". First, let users perceive the relationship between Deep Blue and Huawei’s smart driving, and second, let Huawei’s smart driving enter the mainstream market 200,000. After all, other models equipped with Huawei’s smart driving are priced in the 300,000 range.

Deep Blue’s flexible business philosophy allows it to actively embrace market changes and choose timely and correct measures to respond, which is different from traditional automakers and is also a capability that most new energy automakers do not have.

In more than two years of establishment, it has achieved multiple breakthroughs in sales and market volume. These are the "surprises" that Deep Blue has brought to the new energy market as a rising star. To ask if Deep Blue has succeeded? Maybe the L07 and S05 that will be listed one after another will give a clear answer.

During a cross-country trip to celebrate the Japanese automaker’s 60th anniversary in Canada, we had a fun little meeting with some older Toyota Land Cruisers, after which we test-drove the all-new 2025 Toyota Crown Signia, a station wagon-style crossover that sits atop the existing Crown sedan.

The plan is to drive from Winnipeg, Manitoba to North Bay, Ontario, a distance of about 700 kilometers, and we will have enough opportunities to test the Crown Signia. Please note that our test vehicle is a pre-production model that does not necessarily meet the high standards of automakers for manufacturing quality, but is still fully operational. More on that later.

The sleek Toyota Crown Signia replaces the discontinued Venza, which has failed to attract a large number of customers since returning in 2020. We can’t help but think this will hurt sales of the Crown, which debuts as a 2023 model.

The front face successfully fuses the Lexus and Prius design styles, with a grille similar to the Lexus RX and headlights similar to those of Toyota’s next-generation hybrid.

From the side, the Crown Signia also looks much better than the Venza. The oversized 21-inch wheels add a lot of sportiness to the vehicle, while the long, low body shows the style of the station wagon.

During our three-day expedition, several onlookers approached us to get a closer look at the car and ask questions about it, mostly to find out what it really was. Similar to the late Avalon, the Crown Signia essentially redefined Toyota luxury.

Once inside the car, the connection to the Crown is even more obvious. The dashboard is the same. So is the general layout of the carriage. The only difference is that the large glass roof maximizes the sense of space.

When it comes to cargo capacity, the new crossover has less baggage capacity than the Venza (702 litres vs. 816 litres), but the reverse is true when the rear seats are folded, with the former holding 1,872 litres and the latter only 1,560 litres. For the record, the Subaru Outback is still king, with capacities of 923 litres and 2,141 litres, respectively.

The build quality could have been better, as evidenced by the loose center console cover. Keep in mind that this is a pre-production model. It’s a safe bet that the actual model to be offline will be as sturdy as the Crown sedan we’re used to.

It’s very easy to find the right driving position, no matter where you sit, you can enjoy comfort on long trips. Despite the 21-inch alloy wheels, the ride is smooth and quiet, and front passengers can enjoy heated and ventilated seats. By the way, the Canadian version of Crown Signia offers a single trim level called Limited.

The 2025 Toyota Crown Signia looks good, comfortable and fuel-efficient, and this hybrid could be the perfect road wagon. Our combined fuel consumption is 6.6 litres/100 km, although we sometimes go up to 120 km/h on the highway. This score is much better than the Outback, and owners jump for joy when they see low fuel bills when they stop at a gas station.

The driving dynamics, on the other hand, aren’t as sharp. The steering is light and doesn’t provide enough feedback. Acceleration isn’t bad at best, and the CVT complains every time you want to squeeze more power out of a naturally aspirated engine. Sure, 240 horsepower sounds good, but considering the Crown Signia weighs close to two tons, we’d expect Toyota to offer the 340-horsepower Hybrid Max system in Crown Platinum as well.

The station wagon is gradually dying out, so it’s refreshing to see a new one hit the road. The Toyota Crown Signia may still be a rarity, though, as its base price of $57,450 is about $10,000 more than the top-of-the-line Outback. Granted, Subaru’s turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine consumes more fuel, but that’s not the only consideration when buying a family car or road wagon.

If the Crown Signia is equipped with the aforementioned 340-horsepower system, which delivers 400 pound-feet of torque, the high price will be more acceptable. Too bad it can’t be found. Toyota Canada is also wise to add a cheaper model – as is the case in the US – to attract more potential buyers.

Lynk & Co., as a high-end car brand under Geely, I’m sure all car fans and friends will not be unfamiliar with it. In recent years, its development speed can be described as very rapid. It has continuously laid out and enriched its own models. Coupled with the improvement of technology and quality, it can be said to have won the favor of many Chinese people. Among them, as a small SUV-Lynk & Co 06 in the family, it once became the first choice for many young friends to buy cars. Recently, the editor obtained a set of real car pictures of the new Lynk & Co 06 from relevant channels. What are the highlights of the appearance of the new car? Let’s follow the editor to find out.

The new Lynk & Co 06 is expected to be officially launched this year, so for friends who want to buy the Lynk & Co 06, they may wish to wait until the new car is officially launched. In terms of styling design, the new Lynk & Co 06 basically continues the design style of the current model. The front face is penetrated with an air intake grille, the interior is blackened, and the "frog eye" headlights with LED light sources on both sides, as well as the three-stage design surrounded by the bottom, thus giving people a youthful and dynamic visual experience. In terms of the side body, the new car has also not undergone too obvious changes. The simple and smooth waistline outline adds a sense of strength.

It is worth mentioning that the new car will also offer a two-color body and a variety of rim styles to choose from, so as to meet the individual aesthetic needs of different young consumers. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Lynk & Co 06 are: 4340/1820/1625mm, and the wheelbase is: 2640mm. This body data is basically consistent with the current model, and has not been significantly improved. The rear part of the car looks very layered. The blackened taillights on both sides have a good degree of recognition after lighting up. The exhaust layout of the two sides below has improved the sporty atmosphere to a certain extent. As for the interior design, it is expected that the new Lynk & Co 06 will continue the design of the current model, but some details and configurations will be adjusted to a certain extent.

In terms of power, the 1.5T three-cylinder engine equipped with the current Lynk 06 has been ridiculed by many fans and friends. Now the new Lynk 06 has been replaced with a four-cylinder 1.5T engine with a model of "BHE15-EFZ". In terms of transmission, it will be matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. What do you think about this move? In terms of price, the current Lynk 06 price range is: 11.86-13 9,800 yuan. As a reference, it is expected that the new Lynk 06 will be officially launched. The price should not be significantly improved. What do you think the starting price of the new car is appropriate? For the new Lynk 06, are you optimistic about its arrival?

Chaoyang, the first transparent blue screen window

Unbearable to look back, go to the foreign market

So…

A low and tactful pingtan sounded in his ears, and the focus of his eyes followed the protagonist. Before he woke up, he got up first, pressed his messy hair in the mirror, grabbed the washbasin and ran downstairs to wash up, carefully avoiding the landlord Aunt Zhou who "offended" yesterday because of stock trading. Rushing back to the room to put on socks, he found a hole, stuffed it in, bent down and took out his old leather shoes to polish, put on a gray scarf with a fluffing ball, and opened the door. Aunt Zhou stood outside the door…

This is a less than 2-minute scene in the first episode of "Wind Chaser", where the protagonist Wei Ruolai is preparing for an interview at the central bank. Director Yao Xiaofeng spent three days shooting more than 20 shots, and quickly outlined the protagonist’s character at the beginning, setting the tone for the little person’s growth in the times.

It is such rich details and skillful control of the camera that make this financial-cut drama of the Republic of China appear in the circle with "texture" on the first day of broadcast. The true and delicate tone of the screen, the comparison of the fireworks on Qibao Street with the setting of the "Shili Yangchang" in Greater Shanghai, and the ingenious editing of the intersection of the exchange and the fierce gunfight between the streets have become the topic of hot discussion among netizens.

The integration of "movie + TV series" and the strong word-of-mouth trend have helped "Wind Chaser" become the most popular drama in iQIYI’s premiere this year and the fastest to break 8000. At present, the popularity has broken 9,000, and the volume has broken 100 million in 4 days. The audience ratings broadcast on the central eight are also rising. Data show that "Wind Chaser" went LIVE the next day and became the first audience rating in prime time, and achieved a peak of 2 yesterday.

The creators revealed in interviews that the creation of "The Wind Chaser" took six years and the process was extremely difficult. The entry of Chen Zhixi and Ruyi Film, and the addition of the creators led by Wang Yibo, became the key to the turnaround of this drama.

It is worth noting that two companies, Ruyi Film and Wanda Film and Television, have appeared among the co-producers of "The Wind Chaser".

In January this year, Chen Zhixi became the chairperson and president of Wanda Film. At that time, Entertainment Das Kapital found that the new Wanda, which was blessed by Confucianism, had the stability of upstream production from the layout of the four films in the Spring Festival. In the past two months, Confucianism has launched two major dramas "Prosecutor and Youth" and "Confession in the Night", which also indicates that Confucianism’s strong content genes and rich industry resources will empower and speed up Wanda’s TV drama business.

In the future, the new combination of Ruyi + Wanda will continue to enhance the quality of Chinese dramas, create high-quality dramas, and maintain a high yield as usual, becoming a leader in the dual channel of film and drama.

How is the textured "Wind Chaser" made?

When "Wind Chaser" was still called "The Long Wind Breaks the Waves," a video of "director Yao Xiaofeng choking up before speaking" was posted online. It was the scene of the media watching the film in advance. Behind this emotion is the difficult and tortuous creative process of the show for six years.

In 2018, Yao Xiaofeng saw the script of "Wind Chaser", and the unique perspective of "Finance + the Republic of China" aroused his creative desire. After that, the creators found actors and teams, and by the end of 2019, they had all the preparations ready to start, but they had no choice but to encounter the epidemic, and the project had to be put on hold. "The middle has always been thinking about it, and I want to have the opportunity to take it out," but it will not usher in a new "turnaround" until 2022.

To calm down his good mood, Yao Xiaofeng thanked the three women on the stage: Zhang Shuwei, the chief producer who has been accompanying the growth of the project, Dai Ying, the senior vice president of iQIYI, who gave the series the opportunity to meet the audience, and Chen Zhixi, who "gave the greatest support when he was in trouble and confused."

The "turnaround" and Chen Zhixi’s "support" mentioned by Yao Xiaofeng not only refer to the investment of Confucianism and Italy to become a joint producer, but more importantly, Chen Zhixi, who is the director system and joint producer, helps the main creative team.

In the second half of 2022, just after Wang Yibo finished filming "Passionate," producer Chen Zhixi mentioned in an interview that "because of Wang Yibo, I bravely shot this theme. And Yibo’s characterization is very successful, and it is very different from his daily life." She gave the young actor high praise and recommended it to producer Zhang Shuwei and director Yao Xiaofeng.

So the main creator met with Wang Yibo’s team and chatted from noon to dark. Yao Xiaofeng was very satisfied with Wang Yibo’s modesty, sincerity, but dedication to good. Wang Yibo was also interested in the character itself, and the two parties successfully determined the cooperation intention.

Wang Yang, who plays Shen Tunan, has been a good friend of Chen Zhixi for many years. During the preparation, Zhang Shuwei and the director always believed that they should choose an actor who was not too different in age from Wang Yibo and could produce a chemical reaction to the play, so they hoped to finalize the cooperation with Wang Yang early in the morning. Yesterday, Shen Tunan’s wife Su Cishu appeared, and Chen Zhixi also sent a Weibo to thank his actor for his friendship and help.

Yao Xiaofeng said that after the cast was formed, the preparation was twice as fast as usual, and it was soon decided to start filming. From January to May 2023, the drama was filmed in Shanghai, and then it was post-editing and waiting to be broadcast. Until a few days before going LIVE, the original title of "Long Wind Breaking the Waves" was changed to "Wind Chaser", and finally broke the iQIYI premiere record this year with 6614 on March 21, #wind chasers, texture #on the hot search.

Entertainment Capital found that not only the star Wang Yibo, but also the behind-the-scenes creators of "The Wind Chaser" mostly used film crews.

The director Yao Xiaofeng is from the photography department of Nortel. Before filming TV series, he was a photographer for famous directors such as Huang Jianxin and Li Shaohong, and he was very skilled in the scheduling of the camera. The opening scene is a long shot that follows Wei Ruolai’s back, and the seemingly idle close-ups and regular dialogues quickly show Wei Ruolai’s relationship with the people around him. Coupled with a new series of pingtan with regional characteristics, the group portraits stand up, and the smoke and reality naturally arise.

Editing director Cao Weijie’s collaboration with Jiang Wen lasted from "The Sun Also Rises" to "Evil Does Not Suppress Right", and was nominated for Best Editing at the Academy Awards for "Let the Bullets Fly". Art director Wu Jiakui’s previous masterpieces were blockbusters such as "1921" and "Qian Xuesen", which was also his first time participating in TV series production. Styling director Ma Defan is a costumer for films such as "Love in Hawthorn Trees" and "White Deer Plain".

The fusion of "film + TV series" has laid the foundation for the texture of "Wind Chaser", and also highlights the advantages of Ruyi Film in making TV series.

During the shooting period, Yao Xiaofeng pursued details extremely, strived for authenticity, and provided more protection for "texture" creation.

For example, the scene before Wei Ruolai went to the central bank for an interview that left a deep impression on the audience at the beginning, in fact, there were only a few words in the script, "Wei Ruolai hurriedly put on his clothes in the morning to rush to the exam". Yao Xiaofeng temporarily added a lot of details for Wei Ruolai, straightening his hair by hand in front of the mirror, taking the washbasin downstairs to brush his teeth, and tearing up the calendar before going out… Including later asking Aunt Zhou to put on a coat for Wei Ruolai, the director insisted on changing it to an obviously inappropriate one, plus a scarf with hairballs and broken socks. The image of Wei Ruolai "coming from the countryside to a big city to work hard" was quickly three-dimensional.

A few days before the start of filming, Yao Xiaofeng was still under pressure to demolish the original scenes of Qibao Street and Wei Ruolai’s room, making these two scenes more old and crowded, highlighting the gap between Wei Ruolai’s lower-level environment and the "Shili Yangchang" in Greater Shanghai.

In the end, a scene of less than 2 minutes was filmed for three days, and the original one-week shooting of the Qibao Street opening scene was delayed into two weeks. Although the lengthened cycle brought a lot of pressure to the production team, this director’s dedication to details was able to unite the crew and make the whole team work together to ensure the high-quality completion of "Wind Chaser".

Financial incision, "flow" bonus, "Wind Chaser" blows new wind for national drama

From focusing on family disputes, espionage, to fantasy and love that have emerged in recent years, the complex genre of the Republic of China drama track has undergone several turns, and finance has always been a rare angle. "The Wind Chaser" sets the story in Shanghai in 1930, selects the financial system reform of the Republic of China as the background, and opens a new incision in the great drama of the Republic of China era.

At the beginning, Wei Ruolai is checking the accounts for the gang boss, and in the conversation, he explains his background of low birth and no way to apply for a job, which also lays the groundwork for the later encounter with the heroine Shen and the truth and relief. Then the scene quickly shifts from Qibao Street to bourse, Wei Ruolai and Aunt Zhou first taste the stock market failure, watching the stock price on the wooden board fall sharply from the high point, leaving a "hook" for the successful job search after guessing Shen Tunan’s acquisition intentions.

The true scenes, interlocking narratives, and the unique plot extended by the financial incision have allowed this Republic of China drama, which is based on the financial events of the Republic of China and the growth history of small characters, to quickly differentiate itself among similar dramas.

"Achieving a breakthrough in the original genre" has always been the principle of Chen Zhixi’s production of films and TV series. She once said at the screening site that she thought the work was worth developing after watching the first three episodes in one go.

But at the same time, she also found that the threshold for acceptance of the original script is relatively high, "which means that not everyone can enjoy this kind of TV series." Therefore, how to combine with the present nature so that the audience can find resonance in the plot has become the improvement direction of the second creation of "Wind Chaser".

And the opportunity and impulse of "second creation", Yao Xiaofeng found from the star Wang Yibo. He once mentioned in an interview that "Wei Ruolai is a clean and young, very’tenacious’ hot-blooded young man", these characteristics are very consistent with Wang Yibo’s original temperament.

He had previously learned that Wang Yibo made his way out of Henan step by step with his talent and drive. This experience allowed Yao Xiaofeng to find the entrance to "present nature": to shape Wei Ruolai into an ordinary young man in the torrent of the times, he will also be confused and wandering at the intersection of national and personal destiny, but eventually he will firmly believe and make a choice.

At the same time, the "workplace" element is strengthened in the central bank line part, creating a complete growth line for Wei Ruolai to upgrade from "workplace Xiaobai" to professional financier, so that the audience can see similar experiences and feelings in the character.

Yao Xiaofeng also allowed the actors to bring in a more modern way of thinking, allowing them to give real reactions and guiding Wang Yibo to show different emotional levels step by step during the shooting.

Before "The Wind Chaser", Wang Yibo used Mr. Ye in "Nameless" to confirm his compatibility with the dramas and revolutionaries of the Republic of China, and the enthusiasm and tenacity in "Warm" coincided with the youth and momentum of Wei Ruolai in the early days. It is conceivable that Chen Zhixi has considered his compatibility with the character when setting up the game.

Not only "The Wind Chaser", Chen Zhixi and Ruyi have always had mature experience in combining streaming actors with high-quality content.

In 2015’s "No War in Peiping", Liu Ye at that time was also a "traffic" student, "strong alliance" with a group of old actors around him to create a classic spy war drama.

"Send You a Little Red Flower" is Jackson Yee’s second film. He plays a cancer patient who has just been diagnosed with self-abandonment and high-pressure emotions under long-term family care. The scene of confrontation with his parents has also become one of the most out-of-the-loop clips in the film.

The combination of "Bo Yibo" in the "Enthusiasm" controlled by Confucianism and Italy highlights the chemical reaction of the master-apprentice combination. At that time, many people said that Chen Shuo was tailor-made for Wang Yibo: he had an ordinary background, loved street dance, was young and passionate, and had an unyielding energy.

From these examples, it is not difficult to see how Confucianism makes good use of streaming actors: one is to combine the actor’s experience to find roles that are highly compatible with the actor, build on their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and find the comfort zone where the content overlaps with the actor. The second is to use a "hand-holding" approach to allow young actors to gradually grow in a mature crew, and to create a character combination that allows mature actors with rich experience to have a chemical reaction with them.

"Confessions in the Dark Night", which has just been officially announced by Confucianism and Italy, also uses Pan Yueming, who is known for criminal investigation dramas, to pair with the young top-class Wang Hedi. From the plot introduction, Wang Hedi’s role as Ran Fangxu is a character similar to "White Moonlight", which involves the persistence of the master and his daughter to investigate the truth. "With the rule of hand-holding", the law of character adaptation and double combination appears again.

On the other hand, this kind of long-term in-depth co-creation with mature teams and the addition of high-quality content to young actors will subtly improve their acting skills and empower young actors for their future growth and commercial value. Take "Confessions of the Night" as an example, this can be seen as the starting point for Wang Hedi’s transformation to a new genre by virtue of ancient puppets. The integration of "film + TV series" also allows young actors to have more learning space.

In recent years, the first generation of traffic has ebbed, and high-quality dramas have appeared frequently. The stereotype that "using traffic is a bad drama" is gradually fading, and the industry’s views on the new generation of young actors are also gradually reforming: it is impossible to deny the addition of actors’ own popularity to the drama. More importantly, think about the characteristics of actors and the adaptation of the content and characters of the drama, and find a way to win-win.

Returning to "Wind Chaser", whether it is a unique financial incision or the maximization of the cast combination, this high-quality drama that focuses on the growth of young talents in the era and reflects the context of economic development in a specific era has blown a "new wind" on the drama track of the Republic of China, and also provided a new sample for the innovative breakthroughs of similar dramas.

Confucianism and Italy ride the wind, Wanda accelerator

At the beginning of this year, Chen Zhixi became the chairperson and president of Wanda Film. At the same time, Entertainment Capital also noticed that two companies, Ruyi Film and Wanda Film and Television, had appeared among the co-producers of "Wind Chaser".

If the super layout of the four films of Confucianism and Italy + Wanda during the Spring Festival is the New Year meeting gift that Chen Zhixi brought to Wanda Film, then the go LIVE of "Wind Chaser" and the consecutive launch of the two major dramas are the "accelerators" that she helped Wanda TV series become the industry leader.

Wanda Film and Television officially entered the drama industry in 2016, and the production pace and quality were not stable. In contrast, Ruyi Film’s strength in the drama field has been steadily improving.

In January this year, Chen Zhixi’s director-produced "Prosecutor and Juvenile" was launched. The drama was directed by Teng Huatao and starred Zhang Xiaofei and Chen He. From the plot synopsis, this is a realistic work involving juvenile delinquency, family education and the legal system. This year’s Spring Festival file "Article 20" has a long-term word-of-mouth and a reverse decline in the box office, which proves that this kind of theme is in line with the current audience’s preferences.

Also directed by Chen Zhixi, "Confessions of the Night" was launched in early March. The drama was directed by Wang Zhi and starred Pan Yueming, who was extremely suitable for the theme of criminal investigation. The combination of his master and apprentice with Wang Hedi made the audience look forward to it. The configuration of "middle-aged powerful actor + young top class" also escorted the quality of the drama and the popularity of go LIVE in advance.

In the current TV drama to be broadcast, "My Altay", directed by Chen Zhixi, has just been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 2024 Cannes TV Festival. The drama is directed by Teng Congcong, starring Ma Yili, Zhou Yiran, and Yu Shi. Once again, Ruyi has shown a strong ability to organize and control the content.

In addition, in the latest TV drama filing, the ancient costume drama "Avenue Chaotian" has been filed by Confucianism, which is adapted from the novel of the same name of the cat. The "2023IP Weathervane" report shows that male-frequency IP is a new trend in future film and television dramas. "Avenue Chaotian" is also one of the few new IPs of the cat after the success of film and television such as "Celebration of More Years" and "General Night".

Previously in the field of drama, Wanda Film and Television has not been able to enter the head sequence before, and from the beginning of "Wind Chaser", whether it is the main creator or the big IP blessing, Ruyi + Wanda’s new drama configuration has been significantly upgraded, entering the S, S + level, but also for Wanda Film and Television’s TV drama business up the ante new engine.

As previously analyzed by Entertainment Capital, after Chen Zhixi entered Wanda Film, his stable production ability and Chen Zhixi’s professionalism in content control will allow Wanda Film to return to the content-led industry logic. Chen Zhixi is also one of the few producers in the industry that spans the two fields of film and TV series, and is expected to inspire new possibilities for the linkage of drama and film in the integration of Wanda Film’s entire industry chain.

In the future, the new combination of Ruyi + Wanda will enhance the quality of domestic dramas with film thinking and integration team, conform to the trend of "boutique" of dramas, contribute to the domestic drama film and television industry, and also empower the long-term development and more vigorous vitality of the brand.
