Yu Chengdong: The number of native applications of Hongmeng Galaxy Edition has exceeded 4,000

On May 25, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, chairperson of end point BG, and chairperson of smart car solutions BU, said at the open-source Hongmeng OpenHarmony developer conference that the number of native applications of HarmonyOS NEXT Hongmeng Galaxy Edition has exceeded 4000.

Yu Chengdong said that the adaptation of mainstream software is the top priority, and hopes to build a complete intelligent end point operating system software ecosystem including development languages, compilers, and power builders through Open Harmony. After this step is done, thousands of enterprise developers in China will develop equipment and software based on this. HarmonyOS NEXT Hongmeng Galaxy Edition system base is fully self-developed, cutting the traditional Linux kernel, AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and other codes, and only supports Hongmeng kernel and Hongmeng system applications, so it is also called "pure blood Hongmeng".

Huawei vice chairperson and rotating chairperson Xu Zhijun previously revealed that he expects to be able to list with pure blood Hongmeng when the Mate 70 is sold this year. According to research firm TechInsights, Android and Apple iOS will continue to maintain their dual status globally. From 2024, Hongmeng will become the second largest smartphone operating system in the Chinese market.

Xiaomi car is here! Photos are exposed, or it will be available in February next year

According to MIIT’s official website on November 15, MIIT released announcements on the "Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Announcement" (Batch 377) and the "Catalogue of Energy-saving and New Energy Vehicle Models Enjoying Vehicle and Vessel Tax Reductions and Reductions" (Batch 56). Two Xiaomi brand pure electric cars are listed.

The public information shows that the trademark of Xiaomi automobile products is Xiaomi brand, which is a pure electric car, and the manufacturer is Beijing Automotive Group Off-Road Vehicle Co., Ltd.

The picture shows that the tail logo of the Xiaomi car is "Beijing Xiaomi". In terms of external dimensions, it is 4997mm long, 1963mm wide, 1455mm high, and has a wheelbase of 3000mm. The Xiaomi car with the model "BJ7000MBEVR2" uses lithium iron phosphate batteries, and the supplier is BYD’s Freddy batteries; the engine is from United Automotive Electronics Co., Ltd., and the peak power of the drive motor is 220kW.

Another Xiaomi car with the model "BJ7000MBEVA1" uses a ternary lithium battery, and the supplier is Ningde Times.

Practical exploration of Xiaomi automobile production base:

Small-scale trial production has been achieved, and the new car may be launched in February next year

900,000 sold in three years

A few days ago, the reporter visited the Xiaomi automobile factory located in the Beijing Economic Development Zone and saw that the production plant had begun to see scale. The office building was equipped with the Xiaomi logo, and large trucks and yellow construction vehicles were shuttled between them from time to time.

"Production should have already started inside. Some time ago, you could hear sounds coming from inside." A person working near Xiaomi’s production base said in an interview with reporters recently.

Zhang Hai (a pseudonym), a parts supplier waiting to visit the docking person at the entrance of the Xiaomi Automobile factory, revealed to reporters that the four major manufacturing processes (stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly) workshops in the first phase of the Xiaomi Automobile factory have been built and have begun small-scale trial production. The produced cars are all parked in the final assembly workshop.

Since Lei Jun, founder, chairperson and CEO of Xiaomi Group, announced Xiaomi’s entry into the smart car industry, the dynamics of Xiaomi Auto have been attracting much attention. An unnamed person familiar with the matter said in an interview with reporters that Xiaomi Auto will start mass production next month (December) and go on sale next year (February). Previously, Lei Jun had said that the first car of Xiaomi Auto will be mass-produced in the first half of 2024.

According to the plan, the Xiaomi automobile factory is built in two phases, one of which covers an area of about 720,000 square meters and has an annual production capacity of 150,000 vehicles, which will be completed in June 2023; the second phase is planned to start construction in 2024 and be completed in 2025.

According to public information, the relevant factory buildings of the first phase of Xiaomi Automobile have passed the acceptance inspection on June 12. The reporter saw on the periphery of the Xiaomi Automobile factory that the land to be developed and under development inside the factory is separated by barbed wire between the factory buildings marked 1-5 and the office buildings that have been built. "In addition to the factory building, the Xiaomi Automobile factory has also set up an internal low-speed test site for the trial production vehicles," Zhang Hai told reporters.

According to public information, according to Lei Jun’s plan, the first model of Xiaomi Automobile is planned to sell 100,000 units in the first year, and then 900,000 units will be delivered in the next three years, "entering the first camp in the industry in 2024". This means that from 2025 to 2027, Xiaomi Automobile will need at least 300,000 units per year.

Will Wang Jianlin, the "mass layoff", be the next Xu Jiayin?

A few years ago, Wang Jianlin said in a public speech that in a few years, Wanda’s rental income will reach 100 billion yuan. He also proudly chanted at the scene: "Let the wind and waves rise, sit on the fishing boat."

Since last year, Wanda Group has been running rallies and bottom fishing on a large scale. During the real estate shock period, it has posed as a white knight and successfully landed. However, it has recently been reported that Wanda Group is negotiating with banks to postpone debt repayment, and the cash flow pressure caused by Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management’s tortuous listing has once again attracted attention from the outside world.

Some people close to Wanda Group said that the group will start large-scale layoffs before June to reduce personnel costs. Wanda is also "throwing money" around by pledging financing, reducing holdings and cashing out. Will Wanda and Wang Jianlin, who were once high-spirited, repeat the mistakes of Evergrande and Xu Jiayin?

Wanda Commercial Management’s short-term debt has surged

According to the latest market news, Wanda Group is discussing with major domestic banks the non-repayment and renewal plan for domestic loans. The core appeal is to modify the original debt repayment conditions and extend the principal repayment time of domestic loans.

A banker explained that if a company wants to apply for a deferral of the principal of a bank loan, there are generally two options. One is to renew the loan without principal repayment, that is, to borrow new money to repay the old one. "The bank will go through the application approval process again, and the bank will first pay a sum of money to advance the previous loan." The other is to extend the loan period, that is, to extend the loan time limit and continue to repay the corresponding interest on time.

Wanda Group’s move is seen by the outside world as the company’s liquidity pressure has been very severe. At an internal meeting held recently, Wang Jianlin also admitted that Wanda has encountered periodic difficulties.

So how difficult is Wanda Group to make this decision? According to the financial report of Dalian Wanda Commercial Management Group (hereinafter referred to as "Dalian Wanda Commercial Management"), as of the first quarter of 2023, Dalian Wanda Commercial Management’s short-term borrowings were 6.804 billion yuan, an increase of 1450% year-on-year, and the non-current liabilities due within one year were 73.037 billion yuan, an increase of 338% year-on-year. The total liabilities were nearly 80 billion yuan, and the monetary funds held by the company were 304.67 yuan, which could not cover short-term debts at all. The cash-to-short-debt ratio was only about 0.38.

Dalian Wanda Commercial Management is mainly responsible for the layout of Wanda Group in the field of business management, and Wanda Group’s other main business is mainly on the listed platform Wanda Film. According to the financial report, as of the first quarter of 2023, Wanda Film’s short-term loans are 3.133 billion yuan, and the non-current liabilities due within one year are 896 million yuan. The company holds monetary funds of 3.654 billion yuan, which is also insufficient to pay the short-term debt in full.

It is worth noting that Wanda Real Estate Group has been listed as "Lao Lai" before. According to the China Implementation Information Open Network, Wanda Real Estate Group was forcibly executed by the Shanghai No. 2 Intermediate Court on April 20, involving an amount of more than 1 billion yuan. The company was listed as a dishonest person subject to execution for failing to fulfill its obligations and was restricted from high consumption.

Wang Jianlin repeats the mistakes of Xu Jiayin?

The reason why Dalian Wanda Commercial Management’s short-term liabilities have surged is that the company has included the share repurchase funds of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management Group (hereinafter referred to as "Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management") in the statistics. This is also the biggest hanging sword on Wanda Group’s head at present.

In March 2021, Wanda Group spun off the property management and business management businesses in Dalian Wanda Commercial Management and established Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management, providing branding, design, construction and operation services for third-party projects and dividing from them.

According to the data, in 2022, Zhuhai Wanda’s business operations revenue was 27.12 billion yuan, the main business profit was 12.984 billion yuan, the total assets were 22.886 billion yuan, and the net assets were 7.233 billion yuan. It is estimated that Zhuhai Wanda’s business assets accounted for 3.84% of Dalian Wanda’s business management, but contributed nearly 55% of the revenue.

Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management’s asset-light model was highly anticipated by Wang Jianlin, who soon launched the process of listing in Hong Kong and submitted the prospectus for the first time in October 2021. Before that, Wang Jianlin also launched Moments to introduce 22 star investors, including Country Garden, Tencent, Ant, CITIC Capital, etc., with an investment of 38 billion yuan.

At that time, Dalian Wanda Commercial Management also signed a betting agreement with investors, mainly involving two contents: first, performance commitment, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management’s actual net profit from 2021 to 2023 is not less than 5.19 billion yuan, 7.43 billion yuan and 9.46 billion yuan, and the second is to ensure the IPO time.

However, to Wang Jianlin’s surprise, the listing road of Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management was quite bumpy, and the first submission ended in failure. In April and October 2022, the company received the "small road" from the Securities Supervision Commission and submitted the form twice, but it was never able to wait for the "big road". The latest submission also expired in April this year, that is to say, Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management’s three consecutive IPO applications were all without success.

Regarding the reasons why Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management has been blocked for many times, Shen Meng, director of Chanson Capital, believes that as a business model closely related to commercial real estate, operating stability and expectations are highly sensitive to policies and markets, so there are uncertain risks for potential investors.

Once Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management fails to successfully list before the end of this year, it may fall into a similar situation to the failure of Hengda Real Estate’s return to A bet. From Wang Jianlin’s personal point of view, he may also face lawsuits from investors like Xu Jiayin and step into the position of being executed.

In 2020, due to the failure of backdoor deep house to return to A, Hengda Real Estate 125.70 billion yuan strategic investors signed a supplementary agreement to convert to common shares, and the principal of 4.30 billion yuan equity strategic investors was repurchased after being paid by China Hengda Cash.

However, between 2016 and 2017, Hengda Real Estate received a total strategic investment of 130 billion yuan. Recently, some investors who were unwilling to convert shares and did not receive the repurchase money took Hengda to court. On May 12, China Evergrande announced that China Evergrande, its subsidiary Guangzhou Kailong and China Evergrande’s controlling shareholder and executive director Xu Jiayin became the executors.

Start layoffs, Wanda is "throwing money" to save itself

After the third filing expired, Wanda responded to the media by saying that the current failure of listing application materials does not affect the company’s listing process on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company will update the submission materials as soon as possible according to the requirements of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The current listing progress is progressing in an orderly manner. Wang Jianlin said at an internal meeting that Wanda will not lie down and will not go bankrupt.

However, Shen Meng pointed out that although the new regulations on overseas listing were officially implemented in March this year, the management of corporate investment risks has not been relaxed. Under the filing system, even if Zhuhai Wanda Commercial Management resubmits the application, if the corresponding investment risks are not effectively resolved or controlled, it will still face tremendous pressure.

Wanda Group is running out of time. Under high pressure, the company began to take action from various aspects to save the decline. Within the company, cost reduction and efficiency have become the key words. People close to Wanda Group said that before June, the group will start large-scale layoffs, a conservative estimate of about 30%. Executives may be demoted and paid. In addition, senior vacancies will no longer be filled, and the company can only go in and out in principle.

Externally, Wanda has started to "rush money" to ease the liquidity crisis. On the one hand, in January this year, Wang Jianlin and his concerted actors pledged all 65.04% of Wanda Hotels’ shares to Singapore sovereign fund Temasek Holdings and its subsidiaries in exchange for loan financing provided by Temasek Holdings’ companies. If the stock price of Wanda Hotels at that time is estimated, the total value of the pledged shares is about 860 million Hong Kong dollars.

Dalian Wanda Commercial is the first domestic private company to resume financing in offshore capital markets in 2023. In January and February this year, Dalian Wanda Commercial Management issued a 400 million 2-year and a 300 million 3-year US dollar bond, both with a coupon rate of up to 11%. The funds are used to refinance existing debt. In March, Dalian Wanda Commercial Management planned to apply to issue 6 billion yuan of small public debt, but was questioned by the Securities Supervision Commission.

In addition to pledging financing and issuing bonds, Wanda also cashed out by reducing its holdings in the secondary market. In March this year, Wanda Film’s controlling shareholder, Wanda Investment, took the lead in reducing its holdings by 2% through block trade, cashing out about 583 million yuan. A month later, Wanda Investment announced that it plans to reduce its holdings by 3%. According to the stock price estimate of the day, it is expected to cash out about 953 million yuan.

In addition, there are market reports that Wang Jianlin has traveled to cities in Northeast China and China on several occasions to contact local governments for support, but the results are not optimistic.

Wang Jianlin once said that being the richest man is not his goal, his goal is to be a world-class multinational enterprise. But for now, Wanda Group still has a long and winding way to go from this goal.

Why is there such a big difference between Ma Li and Zhao Liying in Article 20?


1905 movie network feature Movies that are being screened are having a hit at the box office, and the roles played by people such as, and the identities of the characters are very different, and the costumes are naturally very different.


In this issue of the "Behind the Scenes" section, follow the host of the movie channel and take you closer to the styling guide of "Article 20" to hear him reveal the secrets of choosing costumes for different characters.


According to Chen Minzheng, the director’s requirements for the film’s costume design are "life, nature, simplicity, and simplicity." Under this creative idea, Chen Minzheng led the team to different houses in the village to collect styles and observe the different clothes of people in the market.


After creating the style, they found that some of the shapes were different from what they had imagined before. "The most typical is the image of Zhao Liying. The round-mouth cloth shoe we originally painted was a bit like the way we wore it in the countryside in the 1980s. After collecting the style, it has disappeared."



Therefore, the creative team made a basic setting for the characters of the entire film – "What kind of character, the origin of all the clothes, are purchased in his environment."


For example, Ma Li’s clothes are selected according to the economic income and environment of the role, so they are basically selected from the general merchandise building in the county seat, and they are more advanced.



Zhao Liying’s clothes were found in a large market, but she did not use ready-to-wear clothes directly. "I couldn’t get all the clothes back, so I put them on, so I used its raw materials to change the style and size." Chen Minzheng revealed that because there was only one piece of clothes left in this set, and I sweated in the summer, I found a similar fabric and printed a lot of pieces. "I remember that her clothes are 40 yuan a piece. After they are made, the cost of clothing may have to be multiplied by dozens."



In addition to the costumes, Zhao Liying’s complexion was also deepened by two gears, and some emotional makeup details were also done, such as the scenes where she ran at the coach station in summer, which would make her sweaty and dusty. Because she couldn’t sleep, the color of her lips would also turn whiter.



In the original script, Ma Li played the role of the head nurse of the county hospital, who quit her job to accompany her son to study, so she had more free time to tidy herself up. For example, in a quarrel scene with the performance, Ma Li wore a green, stiff little dress.


"We call it Teacher Ma Li’s evening gift, because I think that dress is used for her to go to dinner with the dean of academic affairs seriously. In addition to the clothes that are relaxed in life, she should also have a dress that can slightly control this kind of strength."



On the basis of the early design, Chen Minzheng believes that the immediate control and adjustment of the character’s shape at the shooting scene is also very important, which will make the entire film more colorful and accurate.


The color of the clothes originally worn on the massage chair is the same as that of the massage chair, which results in the image of the character not being prominent. Therefore, it is necessary to change to another piece of clothing that can distinguish colors.



In "Article 20," there are some construction site workers. The styling team first bought a large pile of new clothes, and then went to the construction site outside Beijing’s Fourth Ring Road to exchange the clothes worn by real construction workers in a "trade-in" way. This way, it has an old texture, and eventually exchanged nearly 80 sets of clothes.



In addition to accumulating work experience, film design requires more serious and rigorous ingenuity. "If you are in this industry, you must like this industry," Mr. Chen said. "Because you like this industry, you can pay for it. When you pay, you feel that it is valuable."


What is the difference between Xiaomi TV and Redmi TV? Which is better, Xiaomi TV or Redmi TV?

  Redmi has officially released its first TV product – the 70-inch Redmi TV, which also marks the official launch of Xiaomi’s dual TV brand strategy. Why does Redmi want to enter the TV industry when it already has Xiaomi TV? What is the difference between Xiaomi TV and Redmi TV? Today we will talk about the difference between Xiaomi TV and Redmi TV.

  According to Xiaomi, Redmi TV is based on the strong foundation of Xiaomi TV in the TV industry and came into being. The launch of Xiaomi and Redmi dual TV brands is not only to grasp the mid- to high-end TV market and expand the mid- to low-end TV market, but also an important step in building a "mobile phone + AIoT" dual-engine strategy.

  What is the difference between Xiaomi TV and Redmi TV? Content platform

  On the content platform, Xiaomi TV covers the content of the four giants of Kiwi TV, Aurora TV, CIBN Cool Meow Film and Television, and Mango TV, while Redmi TV brings together the five platform resources of Kiwi TV, Aurora TV, CIBN Cool Meow Film and Television, Mango TV, and Poly Sports. In terms of content, Redmi TV is slightly better than Xiaomi TV.

  What is the difference between Xiaomi TV and Redmi TV? 2: Different prices for large screens

  In terms of price, the 70-inch Redmi TV is priced at 3,799 yuan, while the Xiaomi TV series does not have the same 70-inch screen TV products for the time being. We found a closer 75-inch TV product as a comparison – the 75-inch Xiaomi TV 4S is priced at 5,199 yuan, and the 75-inch Xiaomi TV 4 is priced at 8,999 yuan. It can be seen that the price of the 70-inch Redmi TV is much lower than that of other large-screen TVs in the industry of 70 inches and above, which is also a reflection of the extreme cost performance of Redmi TV.

  What is the difference between Xiaomi TV and Redmi TV? 3: Brand positioning

  Some people think that "Redmi TV will break the low price of Xiaomi TV". In fact, Lu Weibing said in an interview earlier that Redmi TV, as an independent TV brand, will have a complete product line of large, medium and small sizes of Redmi TV. Redmi TV and Xiaomi TV will also seize market share with each other, but Redmi TV will directly feed back the reduced TV costs to users, and in the future, Xiaomi will develop in a more popular, high-tech and cutting-edge direction.

  It is reported that Redmi TV and Xiaomi TV will share Xiaomi resources in both channels and production, but will adopt different marketing strategies.

Wang Sicong sued NetEase Sohu for "Bunny Girl" reporting on infringement of reputation rights and was accepted by the court

Bank check attached to Sohu News

News photos used in NetEase’s July 21 report

        A few days ago, Wang Sicong, the son of Wang Jianlin, chairperson of Wanda Group, sued Guangzhou NetEase Computer System Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "NetEase Company") and Beijing Sohu Internet Information Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sohu Company") to the court on the grounds of infringement of reputation rights, demanding that the two defendants stop infringing and delete infringing web pages, apologize and compensate 200,000 yuan for mental damage respectively.

        According to the "Case Express" released by the official Weibo of the Chaoyang District People’s Court of Beijing at 10:45 on September 12, Wang Sicong said in the indictment that on July 21, 2014, "NetEase Entertainment" and "Sohu Entertainment" were titled "Rich Second Generation Wang Sicong Tossed Million Vote" and "Rich Second Generation Wang Sicong Tossed Million Vote, Netizen: SNH48 Exploded AKB48". The report said that he spent tens of millions to vote for the bunny girl. The report said, "Some informed netizens broke the news that Wang Sicong cared deeply about the bunny girl SNH48 combination. He not only took the initiative to take a photo with Mengmei Paper, but also paid tens of millions of yuan to vote for its general election…". The report was accompanied by a photograph of a Bank of China cheque addressed to Shanghai Xingsiba Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., which was used for "voting expenses for the SNH48 general runoff election." The report also said that the company was the brokerage company of the Bunny Girl Group.

        Wang Sicong said that the content of the above-mentioned report is completely based on the wind and maliciously fabricated false facts, and the check in the picture has nothing to do with it. The above-mentioned acts of spreading and fabricating false facts have seriously damaged their legitimate rights and interests, so they sued the court, asking NetEase and Sohu to stop infringing and deleting infringing webpages, apologize in national newspapers, and compensate 200,000 yuan for mental damage respectively.

        The surging news search found that the two news items mentioned by Wang Sicong in the indictment can still be clicked on by NetEase on the website; the news item on Sohu has been revoked and clicked to jump to other pages.

        At present, the Chaoyang court has officially accepted the two cases, and Wang Sicong finally got his wish. At 11:36 on the 12th, he wrote on Weibo: "Although the current media are all using grandiose headlines and embellished content to attract attention, it is a bit too much to generate topics purely out of nothing and fabricated and fake evidence? In my opinion, journalists and the media must at least have a bottom line." He also initiated the topic of uninstalling the NetEase client incidentally.

The seven scenes of "Sword Rain" are murderous, and John Woo is better than "Face Change".

  Invested 14 million US dollars, by John Woo as the chief director and producer, directed by Su Zhaobin martial arts mystery blockbuster, will be unveiled at the Venice Film Festival on September 3, recently released a set of key scenes of hand-drawn, turning the film several scenes and the protagonist’s house all exposed. Also telling the story of the makeover, John Woo praised "Sword Rain" has surpassed, "" Sword Rain "is more atmospheric and more suspense".

  From the released scene map, "Sword Rain" has achieved both atmospheric realism and suspenseful artistic conception, with low-key colors and simple shapes. Lanterns, wine flags, horses and other elements are the hallmarks of "Wu-style rivers and lakes". The bright and quiet house of the retired heroine (Michelle Yeoh) and the gloomy and simple house of the head of the big villain killer group (Wang Xueqi) hint at the complex and mysterious fates of the protagonists.

Lanterns, wine flags, horses, there are many elements in the rivers and lakes

  "Sword Rain" tells the story of a female assassin with high martial arts, Zeng Jingjin, who washes her hands, and marries a simple and optimistic man in a small town to live an ordinary life. But because she has a holy object that everyone in the rivers and lakes wants to have, she attracts the killer organization led by the "Wheel King" to attack in turn, and starts a bloody killing.

  The scene map exposed by "Sword Rain" this time includes several key turning points in the film: such as "Zhang Haiduan Mansion", which is the place where the main characters appear at the beginning. The grand hall is matched with a very disproportionate yellowing lantern, indicating that it will quickly slide into the shadow of a big war; the three-story "Fengyang Restaurant" and the "Money House" that occupy the entire street are the highlight of the two killers in the movie. At that time, various killing techniques will appear in the most unexpected places in the spacious and majestic space; and the seemingly most peaceful "Yunhe Temple" in the murderous atmosphere, which actually hides amazing secrets in the green trees and red walls, and a big war at the end of the film also unfolds here; throughout several scenes, in the small town of Jiangnan, Several elements such as lanterns, wine flags and post horses appear repeatedly, and a few simple strokes outline the heroic style in Woo Yusen’s rivers and lakes.

The pros and cons are all otaku men and women "Wheel King" family secrets

  John Woo revealed that the success of "Sword Rain" "lies in the suspense, whether they can succeed after retiring, and whether they can live the life they want to live?" In the scene picture, Yang Miqiong plays the "Zeng Jing" family, indicating that she originally lived in seclusion in a quiet mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. The gray walls and green trees are hidden, and there is no lack of seclusion in the brightness. It is the best place for the killer to retire after evolving into a "house girl".

  As the leader of the most mysterious killer group in "Sword Rain", "Wheel King" always wears a mask every time he appears, and his private identity is unknown. John Woo once praised Wang Xueqi, who played "Wheel King". "In the movie, he is not an ordinary villain. He has to do bad things for some special reasons. He is very helpless in his heart, and he has a very good grasp of this complex emotion." This complexity seems to be seen from the "Wheel King"’s home, which looks like a living room. The room is simple and tidy without any excess decoration, and it is bookish. What attracts attention is that there are only two chairs and two cups of tea next to the square table. Who can approach the Wheel King in such a private place? What kind of secrets are hidden behind the curtain?

The main creator of "Rain of Swords" exposes seven weapons to create the ultimate film

  The martial arts suspense love masterpiece created by Pony Pentium Pictures and Hong Kong Media Asia recently exposed a "family photo", but the special thing about this photo is that it includes the six main creators of John Woo, Zhang Jiazhen, Su Zhaobin, Dong Wei, Wada Huimei, and Huang Yongheng in the cast of "Sword Rain". This is an unprecedented innovation in mainland movies. The main creators behind the scenes came to the stage, and six masters with international value joined forces for "Sword Rain". The momentum of the movie "Sword Rain" can be described as huge.

  If the seven weapons in Gu Long’s pen are really martial arts, then the combination of the six creators of "Sword Rain" just gives these seven weapons a new metaphor.

John Woo, Zhang Jiazhen, Overlord Spear, Longevity Sword

  It is the first time that John Woo and Zhang Jiazhen have joined forces to engage in martial arts. Needless to say, the tacit understanding of this old partner who has cooperated for many years. In the past 40 years of cooperation, they have handed over classic blockbusters with different styles, such as "Face Changing" and "Red Cliff". This collaboration with "Sword Rain" is a bold attempt at a new theme. And Woo’s inner martial arts feelings have never stopped from the beginning, and this time it has finally been realized. Woo’s experience and stability are like a rigid overlord gun. Watch Woo extend his violent aesthetics to a thousand years ago; Zhang Jiazhen’s humility and low-key are like the sword of longevity. Watch Zhang Jiazhen market China’s chivalrous culture to the world. "Sword Rain" will challenge the new height of Chinese cinema. 

Su Zhaobin, Huang Yongheng, affectionate ring, parting hook

  Whoever can restrain Su Zhaobin’s thinking is equivalent to controlling the Monkey King in China. Su Zhaobin, who was trained in science and technology, with a low-key sentimental ring, made his debut with a film that shocked the Golden Horse Award. Since then, "Tricks", his jumping thinking and eclectic narrative methods have often made up unexpected but reasonable stories, bringing the film to a new four-dimensional space.

  Huang Yongheng, a director of photography who is also known as a genius, has a parting hook. He has won numerous awards and accolades in movies for several years since he began assisting John Woo in "Heroes 1 and 2". But this is the first time he has accepted the challenge of Su Zhaobin’s jumping story. If Su Zhaobin’s story is flawlessly presented in the picture, it will be a new breakthrough for Huang Yongheng.

Dong Wei, Hetian Huimei, Jasper Knife, Peacock Plume

  With a stable John Woo, it is equivalent to a strong foundation in film technology; with Zhang Jiazhen, it is equivalent to a broad market space; Su Zhaobin and Huang Yongheng are challenging new fields in thinking and vision. And the two masters who turned this tragic film into a soft beauty in the fight, Dong Wei and Tian Huimei, became the last weapon of this film. Dong Wei has a beautiful jasper knife, and he is one of the few best martial arts fingers in the Chinese film industry. From the early years, "The True Story of Ah Fei" to the mid-term, "Hero", to the recent "Mago" and "October Siege", he can turn action scenes into flowing water, and make sparring into dance-like beauty.

  The last costume designer, Heimei Wada, was the only woman among the six main creators, and it was she who made the martial arts blockbuster "Sword Rain" more tender. Back then, she won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design for her film with Akira Kurosawa, and then she moved to the Chinese film market. "The White-haired Witch" won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design. She has peacock plumes, which are beautiful and attractive enough, and of course can also impress the hearts of her opponents.

  The six main creators are all on their own, and it is difficult for such a strong production team not to produce classic works. When asked why they came to the cast of "Sword Rain", everyone said half-jokingly, "I heard that John Woo is going to make a martial arts film, but he has not done it before, so we are also here to cheer." It is understood that the release schedule of "Sword Rain" is initially scheduled for September 28, when this visual feast carefully crafted by Woo and other six masters will be presented to audiences around the world.

Born on December 20, 1960, Kim studied fine arts in Paris in the early 1990s before returning to Korea to work as a screenwriter.

In 1996, his debut novel "The Diary of a Crocodile Hidden Dead" was well received by the Korean critics, and he began to make his mark.

The incest in "Sacred Sacrifice" and the brutal captivity in "The Empty Room" are both full of considerable violence and large-scale scenes.

Therefore, his films are like a bomb that can impact people at any time.
