In 2024, the total box office broke 25 billion! Who is the winner in the summer?


Special feature of 1905 film network Summer file continues to heat up. According to the statistics of ticketing platform, in 2024, the total box office of cinema movies broke 25 billion (including pre-sale). In the summer of 2024, 100 films have been officially finalized. Behind the hundreds of new films are dozens of film companies that are fighting for the front line.

The film was put on file until July 10th. Previously, the cumulative screening and pre-sale box office exceeded 30 million in just three days. As of press time, the cumulative box office has exceeded 40 million, and the number of people watching movies has exceeded one million. The film is also the first work of Bona Film in 2024. Another main production will also be released in July. After a lapse of five years, Bona once again scheduled two main slides for the summer.



Not only that, traditional film companies such as Light Media, Huayi Brothers and Wanda Pictures have also joined the summer file this year, and they are all behind films such as "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century".



While raising the expectations of the audience, it also leaves suspense for the increasingly hot market: What kind of transcripts will traditional film companies harvest in the summer of 2024?


Development of Summer Files for Traditional Film Enterprises


In the summer of 2024, new films from traditional film companies gathered.


According to statistics, among the hundreds of new films, there are about 20 key films to be shown. Among them, more than half of the films are controlled by traditional film companies such as Bona Film, WANDA CINEMAS, Light Media and Huayi Brothers. According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, the number of people who want to see these films has exceeded 10,000, among which the number of people who want to see Legend and White Snake: Floating Life has exceeded 150,000.



As the longest track in the whole year, the summer track has a "youth" that is different from other tracks, and this youth now includes not only students, but also people over the age of 25. According to the report of Lighthouse Research Institute, in recent years, the audience under the age of 25 has shown a downward trend, and the audience aged 25-29 is becoming the main audience in the market. This also makes the appearance of new summer films of traditional film companies more diverse.



This time, Bona Film has a proper emphasis on genre themes and has made some progress in film technology. The Legend, which is under its control, has both a sense of heaviness spanning thousands of years and a sense of lightness of "treasure hunting adventure+fantasy love", and the reconciliation of the two forms the unique epic fantasy temperament of this film. On the other hand, Bona’s A Dream of Red Mansions, which is the main producer, simplifies the complexity and refines the motif of conspiracy and love.


"Legend" restored the 27-year-old young version with the blessing of AI technology, and established the image digital assets of young Jackie Chan. This is also an experimental exploration for the film and television industry. President Bona once mentioned at the Shanghai International Film Festival: "In the past, we often said that movies were the art of regret, but the emergence of AI technology made movies no longer the art of regret."



It seems that it is difficult to find similar films in the whole summer file of "Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" controlled by Light Media. Judging from the materials released at present, the film is positioned as "comedy+science fiction", with "a sneeze crossing the round trip for 20 years" as the science fiction setting, and at the same time touches the "working mentality" of contemporary young people. The author of the film has a strong style, and the director’s previous works and works also have a rough texture and unconstrained story setting similar to "inferior images". The other "Her Little Pear Vortex" combines a small and fresh campus youth drama with a Northeast comedy, which is suitable for the mainstream audience in the summer file and has a clear audience awareness.



After White Snake 2: The Green Snake Robbed, White Snake: A Floating Life brought the classic story of the White Snake to the screen. According to the director, the film shows the traditional folk customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, such as dragon boat racing and drinking realgar wine. The dragon boat design also refers to the modeling and color matching in the ancient paintings of the Song Dynasty, trying to restore the market atmosphere of the Song Dynasty. This is the first time that Wanda has participated in the series as the main producer. At present, the number of people who want to see White Snake: Floating Life is more than 310,000, ranking among the top five summer movies, and the new domestic film Top1 is to be shown.



In addition, after the equity transfer in WANDA CINEMAS in 2023, Confucianism and Italian Film became its first shareholder, so the films produced by them were regarded as the same sequence. In 2024, "Retrograde Life", which was directed by the owner of Confucianism and Italian Film, was one of the few realistic movies in the summer, and it was also a realistic feature film that was once again the core creation. Judging from the trailers released at present, while focusing on the group of takeout workers, the film does not take bitterness as the background, but incorporates comedy elements with higher acceptance through contrasting situations and actor performances.



Another realistic movie in the summer file is Laifu Hotel, which has been released, and is controlled by Huayi Brothers. The film Douban scored 7.3, which is the highest score among the summer movies that have been released so far. It is also controlled by Huayi Brothers, and it was released in the early summer file and won a focus unit award at Cannes International Film Festival.



Generally speaking, this traditional film company not only pays attention to the younger theme, but also meets the needs of the students, and emphasizes the touch of social reality, the exploration of film technology and the avant-garde image style.


Film and enterprise games show their magical powers


At present, in addition to the new films produced by traditional film companies, there are still many popular films produced and controlled by companies with Internet genes or creative individuals.


For example, the reading group under Tencent and Century Changsheng Tian, the director, are the first and second producers; The Chinese film industry with a mature distribution network and Yitong Film and Television, the director, are the first and second producers. It is the bad monkey film industry and the other film industry as the first and second producers; Most of the films such as Decryption are produced by movie companies with Internet genes such as Cat’s Eye and Taobao Film.



When the online ticketing platform with Internet genes keeps growing in the industry, and when the Mesozoic creators set up their own doors to participate in film investment and film projects, the traditional film enterprises that have grown together with the China film industry for more than 20 years seem to face new challenges.


However, taking the summer file of 2024 as an example, it is not difficult to find that behind most films, several producers jointly invest and share risks. At the same time, there are also traditional film companies behind the films controlled by other film companies, such as WANDA CINEMAS, who is also one of the main producers of Silent Killing. In terms of distribution, traditional film companies also cooperate with other companies to jointly promote the market distribution of films. For example, the distribution of "Retrograde Life" was jointly promoted by Taobao Film, Confucianism, Italian Film and Television, and Sichuan Wenyou.



In addition, the pan-entertainment platform in internet plus, such as Cat’s Eye Lithography, not only has the advantages of Internet technology, but also integrates data resources for reference in upstream production, and can rely on the IP resources and production experience of traditional film companies to complete the upward industrial layout.


The re-integration of resources enables traditional film companies and emerging film companies to better face the uncertainty of the future market. Therefore, while meeting the challenges, win-win cooperation has also become an industry consensus. The complementary advantages in business and the risk-sharing in capital jointly maintain the benign ecology in the industry.


Not only that, as a traditional film company that has been deeply involved in the film industry for decades and contributed many excellent films to the China film market, it has gradually defined a more advantageous track in the competition.


Bona has made it clear in the annual report that he wants to keep the theme projects that the company is good at, including the new mainstream movies. In 2024, Bona held a press conference on the 25th anniversary of "Born to the New" in Shanghai. Apart from Legend and A Dream of Red Mansions, he also announced his main creative lineup, while continuing the creative experience of new mainstream films, and also developed epochal drama works such as Shangganling and Haojiang Tide.



After the successful launch of other animated films and the creation of the domestic animation brand "Striped House", Light Media also regards this field as one of the most promising business sectors. According to the annual report of the enterprise, the series of films has entered the pre-planning stage. Among the new films to be shown, in addition to two highly anticipated animated films "Xiaoqian", the starring actor will also be released this year.



While WANDA CINEMAS continues to deepen its core business such as cinema operation, distribution and marketing, in terms of film investment and production, four of the five films controlled by the main investment last year received positive feedback in terms of box office and word of mouth. In the first half of 2024, Wanda’s "Bears: Reversing Time and Space" made 2.45 billion yuan and 1.99 billion yuan at the box office, respectively, and gained good investment returns. In addition, in the report of the first quarter of 2024, it was also revealed that all the films were filmed and produced as planned.



In a word, no matter new or old, differentiated content is the core competitiveness of a film company. Of course, on this basis, it is equally important for the upstream and downstream industries to cooperate with each other, for different enterprises to give full play to their respective advantages, and to identify the audience characteristics of the schedule.


Hundreds of new films fight for the summer, who can laugh at the end? We will wait and see.


Six differences between the 14th generation Sylphy and Sylphy classics! You will understand after reading it!

Speaking of compact cars, we have to talk about it. It can be said that it is a veritable strength player. That sales volume has made countless car companies envy and hate. Today we will talk about this car. Someone once asked me what’s the difference between the 14th generation and the classic. At that time, I didn’t think much. I simply told him that the new generation is the 14th generation, while the classic is the old model. Now that I think about it, I think it’s simple. I’ll introduce them to you today!

in the first place

The brand-new car was officially launched in 2019, which is the fourteenth generation, while the classic car was actually a redesigned model in 2016, and the difference between the two cars was three years.

Second point

In terms of price, as an old model, the classic is definitely cheaper, and the official price of the classic is 998-118,600 yuan. The brand-new price is 10.90-14.30 million yuan, but to be honest, the classic is more cost-effective.

the third point

This is the key point. The brand-new size is larger. The brand-new length, width and height are 4641*1815*1447mm respectively, and it is 2712mm, which is perfect in space. The classic is only 2700mm, and the length and width are also reduced a lot.

Fourth point

The appearance is also different. The biggest change is the front face. The brand-new appearance is somewhat similar. With the V-Motion2.0 design, the overall look is more fashionable, young and full of vitality.

As an old model, the classic uses the first generation V-Motion family design, which looks more natural and smooth as a whole. Although it is not amazing, it is definitely eye-catching.

Fifth point

I don’t need to say this about the interior. The new car is definitely better than the old model. Whether it is the technology configuration or the interior materials, it is much higher than the classic. After all, there is nothing to say for a penny!

The sixth point

In terms of power, 1.6L natural inhalation is also used, but the power is different, which is the same but does not mean the same. Brand-new use is the third generation of intelligence, reaching 139, while the classic power is only 126. There is still a gap in motivation!

These are the differences between the new model and the classic, do you understand?

"1 billion bet" Lei Jun lost, he just responded like this…

  On March 19, Xiaomi Group announced its first annual report after listing, which also means that Lei Jun and Dong Mingzhu’s "1 billion bet" will be won and lost.


  According to the annual report, Xiaomi achieved a total revenue of 174.915 billion yuan in 2018; previously, Gree said in the performance forecast that the total revenue in 2018 was between 200 billion and 210 billion yuan. Even according to the lower limit of Gree’s revenue, Lei Jun will still lose this "huge bet" by more than 25 billion yuan.


  On March 20, when asked about the outcome of the "1 billion bet", Lei Jun replied: "I haven’t seen Gree’s official financial report, and she (Dong Mingzhu) has contacted me." At the opening of the market today, Xiaomi’s share price plunged after a slight increase of 0.82%. As of the closing price of 11.64 Hong Kong dollars per share, a decline of 4.59%. The latest market value is 2785.38 billion Hong Kong dollars.


  mixed happiness


  Xiaomi hands over its first annual report since going public


  Xiaomi’s financial report shows that in 2018, Xiaomi Group’s revenue was 174.915 billion yuan (RMB, the same below), an increase of 52.6% year-on-year; adjusted Xiaomi Group’s net profit was 8.55 billion yuan, an increase of 59.5% year-on-year, higher than the 8.25 billion yuan expected by the market.







从业务板块来看,虽然雷军强调小米的布局更趋多元,但智能手机业务无疑仍是主力,去年为小米贡献了65.1%的总收入,销量共计1.187亿部,同比增长29.8%;收入约1138亿元,较去年同比增长41.3%。
  From the business sector, although Lei Jun stressed that Xiaomi’s layout is more diverse, but the smart phone business is undoubtedly still the main force, last year contributed 65.1% of the total revenue for Xiaomi, a total of 118.70 million sales, an increase of 29.8%; revenue of about 113.80 billion yuan, an increase of 41.3% over last year.







小米在财报中援引IDC咨询(北京)有限公司数据称,去年全球智能手机市场出货量同比下滑4.1%,在此大环境下,小米手机取得的成绩为“业内罕见”。
  In its earnings report, Xiaomi quoted data from IDC Consulting (Beijing) Co., Ltd. as saying that the global smartphone market shipments fell 4.1% year-on-year last year. In this environment, Xiaomi’s mobile phone achievements are "rare in the industry".


  In addition, Xiaomi’s internet services, IoT and consumer products businesses all grew significantly, with total revenue of 16 billion yuan and 43.80 billion yuan respectively last year, growing by 61.2% and 86.9% respectively.


  In addition, Xiaomi’s internet services division increased by 61.2% year-on-year, contributing revenue of RMB 16 billion for the year. The revenue of the IoT and consumer products division was RMB 43.80 billion, an increase of 86.9% over last year.


  "We can finally proudly hand in our first full-year answer sheet," Lei Jun said in an open letter to investors. However, the financial report also showed that the fourth quarter of Xiaomi Group last year was actually "a little bad". In the fourth quarter of 2018, Xiaomi Group’s revenue was 44.40 billion yuan, down 12.6% from the previous quarter, and its operating profit totaled 1.853 billion yuan, down 35.8% from the previous quarter.


  Specifically, various business sectors also performed poorly in the fourth quarter. In particular, Xiaomi mobile phones, which are the main revenue force, performed poorly. In the fourth quarter, Xiaomi mobile phone shipments were about 25 million units, down 12% year-on-year, and the gross profit margin of the smartphone division fell from 8.8% in 2017 to 6.2%. In this regard, Xiaomi attributed the "product portfolio adjustment and change in product launch schedule" in the financial report.







此外需要指出的是,小米依然未在本次财报中公布小米手机的国内出货量,但IDC在报告中指出,2018年小米国内出货量同比跌去6%。
  In addition, it should be pointed out that Xiaomi has not yet announced the domestic shipments of Xiaomi mobile phones in this financial report, but IDC pointed out in the report that Xiaomi’s domestic shipments fell by 6% year-on-year in 2018.







“10亿赌局”雷军输了,刚刚他这样回应……
  Does the "bet" really matter?


  Miss Dong and Rebs have already left separately


  With the announcement of Xiaomi’s 2018 financial results, Lei Jun and Dong Mingzhu’s "1 billion bet" finally came to an end. In December 2013, the two participated in the "China Economic Person of the Year" organized by CCTV and jointly presented the award. Lei Jun took the initiative to tell Dong Mingzhu that within five years, if Xiaomi’s turnover can beat Gree, "then please prove that Dong Mingzhu Dong Zong lost me one yuan." Dong Mingzhu responded domineering, what is a good bet for a dollar? If you want to bet, you can bet one billion yuan.


  At that time, Xiaomi’s momentum was strong, and this competition was full of suspense, which was a great deal of interest for the market. Data show that its revenue in 2013 was about 31.60 billion yuan, and Gree’s revenue was 120 billion yuan. Can the rising star of the Internet succeed in overtaking the big brother of the manufacturing industry? With the "1 billion gambling" becoming a hot topic, Lei Jun and Dong Mingzhu have also talked about it in public many times.


  In December, during the 2018 annual meeting of Chinese business leaders, Dong Mingzhu said in an interview that Gree had basically won the bet, and because Gree is doing the real economy and Xiaomi’s Internet business is light on assets, the two are not comparable, and the gamble itself is not meaningful. But she also pointed out meaningfully: "At that time, the bet was based on different concepts. If we all gave up heavy assets, then light assets would not exist. The state emphasizes that the economy cannot be divorced from reality to fiction, and these four words are enough to explain the win or lose."


  WeChat official account "Chang’an Street Governor" once analyzed that Gree and Xiaomi, one is a national leading brand of traditional manufacturing, and the other is the darling of the new economy in the Internet field. The competition between these two star companies is actually a kind of healthy competition, which will bring more innovation and development to enterprises and industries.


  Now that five years have passed, Xiaomi and Gree seem to be gradually approaching each other on their respective paths. After starting with mobile phones, Xiaomi’s trend of diversified development has become more and more obvious. In July and December 2018, respectively, it launched Mijia Internet air conditioner and Mijia Internet washing and drying machine, expanding its business to Gree’s battlefield. Gree also began to target Xiaomi’s territory, releasing the first generation of smartphones in March 2015. Despite the poor sales, Dong Mingzhu did not admit defeat: "The outside world is talking about the failure of Gree’s mobile phone business, but in fact we have not fully disclosed it in the market yet."


  The end of the "bet" may not matter to Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun. They are both good at taking a longer-term view and setting "small goals" for the future development of the company. Lei Jun said in 2018 that he would lead Xiaomi to return to the top of the domestic market in the next 10 quarters and double the profits of investors who bought Xiaomi shares on the first day of listing. In November 2018, Dong Mingzhu said that according to the deployment, the operating income of Gree Electric Appliance (000651) will reach 600 billion yuan by 2023.


  This also means that the future of millet and Gree’s battlefield will continue to overlap, this long-lasting battle is far more attractive than the "1 billion bet". 36Kr pointed out in the report that from the moment when mobile phone manufacturers and home appliance manufacturers have turned their attention to IoT, Internet of Things, and smart home, millet and Gree are destined to meet, which will be a more serious and cruel story than the "1 billion bet".

Lei Jiayin’s desperate spy war drama "Peace Hotel" was finalized

Directed by Li Jun, a famous director, written by Zhang Lai, a "ghost talent", and starring Chen Shu, Lei Jiayin and Li Guangjie, the humorous suspense spy war drama "Peace Hotel" was officially booked on Zhejiang Satellite TV, and it started broadcasting at 19:30 every day from January 25th. In the play, Lei Jiayin plays the bandit Wang Dading, who is full of evil spirits but also a folk patriot. Chen Jiaying (Chen Shu), who meets by chance, pretends to be a husband and wife and fights with the enemy. It looks very enjoyable. The play shows the world pattern at that time with the Peace Hotel. On the basis of step-by-step gripping, there is no lack of relaxed and humorous elements. The first cooperation between Chen Shu and "ex-husband brother" Lei Jiayin also made the audience look forward to it.

Lei Jiayin challenged the intellectual bandits to fight the drama "the unity of man and drama"

In addition to the gripping plot, the characters in the play are "hand-eye-to-eye", and the integration of people and drama is another highlight. Wang Dading is "the only bandit with higher education in the three northeastern provinces". On the surface, Chen Jiaying is a senior detective expert in the confidential department of Manchuria Railway and only a dozen behavioral trace analysis experts in the world. In fact, she is a member of the underground party of the Communist Party of China. Their identity sounds unusual, but it is also consistent with the temperament of the actors themselves.

Lei Jiayin, the "ex-husband" who came out of My First Half of Life, challenged the role of "literary bandit" in the play. He played Wang Dading, who loved reading Shakespeare and dreamed of robbing the rich to help the poor, and pretended to be a loving couple with Chen Shu. In the play, he has a moustache and a big oil head, and he has a sense of joy. It is simply a true color, and his funny personality is undoubtedly revealed. Chen Shu, who wears cheongsam to the extreme, plays a female agent with high intelligence. Her behavior is decisive, her will is firm, and she exudes a fierce beauty. This role coincides with Chen Shu’s elegant Leng Yan temperament. Li Guangjie, a serious face, plays the persistent police sergeant without any sense of disobedience. Other actors and roles in the play are also very unified, and they have a strong sense of substitution.

Humor opens a new type of spy war. Li Jun’s tough guy style brings a different feeling.

"Peace Hotel" not only has the dangers of traditional spy war dramas, but also adds appropriate humorous jokes to make the drama more grounded. In the film, Chen Shu solemnly said "close the door and let Wang Dading go", which made people laugh. Lei Jiayin, as a bandit, didn’t put on airs. Li Guangjie slapped him in the face and lectured him with a face full of arrogance. Lei Jiayin’s joyful expression with rich body movements is also full of "laughter". He always uses a famous Shakespeare saying for fear that others will not know that he is an intellectual literary youth. Such a funny plot is interspersed in the exciting spy war plot. It can be said that the style of Peace Hotel is full of new ideas, and the humorous style of "dancing under high pressure" is fascinating.

Li Jun, the director of the play, has directed many excellent works such as "Beishangguang doesn’t believe in tears" and "Please turn on your mobile phone when landing". He focuses on the creation of realistic themes, is good at showing the inner struggles of characters, and has created many classic tough guys. The director’s tough style is integrated into this spy war drama, which is believed to bring new feelings to the audience.

Quality spy war, climax after climax, and many attractions make Peace Hotel one of the most anticipated dramas during the Spring Festival. Every day from January 25th at 19:30, Zhejiang Satellite TV China Blue Theater will be wonderful!
