Dear ifeng.com users:

[The sales list of new forces from January to June was announced, and the Qinjie M7 topped the list with nearly 100,000 sales]

According to the latest released data, the market performance of the new power model of Wenjie Automobile, Wenjie New M7, is particularly outstanding in the first six months of 2023. As of June 9, its annual cumulative sales volume has reached 96,500 units, ahead of other new power models, and firmly sits on the throne of China’s new power sales in the first half of 2024. This achievement undoubtedly proves the strong competitiveness of Wenjie Automobile in the new energy vehicle market.

What is even more eye-catching is the Wenjie new M7 Ultra, which exceeded 4,349 units in the first week of its launch, setting a new power model delivery record in China. This not only shows consumers’ strong recognition of the Wenjie car brand, but also shows the outstanding performance of the Wenjie new M7 Ultra.

It is understood that the new M7 Ultra was launched on May 31, with a total of four models, priced at 28.98-32 9,800 yuan. The new car is equipped with Huawei’s latest 192-line lidar (the same as the M9) as standard, which is the highest number of line lidar currently mass-produced. With Huawei’s mature ADS 2.0 high-end intelligent driving, there are few competitors in the same level of intelligent driving experience. This configuration will undoubtedly provide strong technical support for its future driving experience.

The analysis believes that the excellent performance of the new power models of Wenjie Automobile is due to its strong brand strength and product innovation ability on the one hand, and its precise market positioning and excellent marketing strategy on the other hand. With the launch of the 35,000 yuan limited-time car purchase rights, it is expected that by the end of June, the order volume of the new M7 will have a big outbreak. We have reason to expect that in the future market competition, Wenjie Automobile will continue to maintain a strong momentum and bring more high-quality products and services to consumers.

BYD Tang DM-P/EV Glory Edition went on the market: the price was lowered by 30,000-40,000 yuan compared with the old one.

On Monday morning, two major brands launched a new round of "price-for-quantity" scheme. Except for the new model L6, LI lowered the price by 18-30,000 yuan, and the price of SUV models was lowered by 20,000 yuan at the highest. These plug-in extended-range hybrid C-class SUVs have brought a lot of pressure to competing products, so the author is very curious about which competing products will take over first. I didn’t expect BYD Tang DM-p/EV to launch the glory version immediately afterwards.

BYD’s recently launched glory series new model is actually an official version. Let’s look at the price.

Tang DM-p:

  • The old model, the exclusive version of four-wheel drive costs 269,800 yuan, and the flagship version costs 289,800 yuan.
  • The new four-wheel drive exclusive edition costs 229,800 yuan, the flagship edition costs 249,800 yuan, and the Ares edition costs 269,800 yuan.

The original price of the four-wheel drive is lowered by 40,000 yuan, and the price of the Ares version is the same as the starting price.

This price may bring a little unhappiness to the old car owners. At the beginning, the purchase price of our Tang DM-p four-wheel drive flagship test car was 331,800 yuan, and only this version had a differential lock; Now the Ares version with a price of 269,800 yuan also has a rear axle differential lock, and the price is equal to 62,000 yuan. However, one thing is quite gratifying, that is, the new model only reduces the price without increasing the configuration. Compared with those recently launched cars with smart driving configuration such as laser radar and high-end car-level car chips, the change of Tang DM-p is not great.

The plug-in hybrid version of Tang DM-p can still be considered. It is already equipped with a three-engine four-wheel drive hybrid system, with a 1.5T engine and E-CVT as the front part, and the motor at the rear axle also has a maximum power of 200kW. Its 100-kilometer acceleration takes only 4.3 seconds, and its performance is quite strong. The pure electric cruising range of WLTC is also 189 kilometers, and the lowest charged fuel consumption is good. Therefore, this car is still competitive in the traditional plug-in hybrid SUV model camp, and its competitiveness will only be stronger after the price reduction.

Tang EV

The price of the pure electric version of BYD Tang has also been lowered and the range is not small. The specific standards are as follows.

  • The old model, the two-wheel drive exclusive model (600km) costs 282,800 yuan, the 730 km version costs 312,800 yuan, and the four-wheel drive flagship model (635km) costs 342,800 yuan.
  • Champion edition, exclusive two-wheel drive model (600km) costs 249,800 yuan, 730 km version costs 269,800 yuan, and flagship four-wheel drive model (635km) costs 299,800 yuan.
  • The new model, two-wheel drive exclusive model (600km) costs 219,800 yuan, the 730 km version costs 239,800 yuan, and the four-wheel drive flagship version (635km) costs 269,800 yuan.

After two rounds of substantial price reduction, the pure electric series was reduced by 33,000-43,000 yuan for the champion version, and 30,000 yuan for the glory version compared with the champion version.

Why is the price reduction of Tang EV so great?

This is about its drive system. The two-wheel drive version of Tang EV is a front-wheel drive, just like the plug-in hybrid version of Tang DM-i; However, the two-wheel drive models of middle and high-end pure electric SUVs are generally rear-drive, and the reason is not repeated here. In short, the driving quality of rear-wheel drive is better than that of front-wheel drive. The reason why the middle and low-end vehicles of fuel vehicles generally adopt the front drive structure is that the manufacturing cost of the front drive system is low, but the cost of adopting the rear drive for new energy vehicles is equivalent, so most new energy vehicle brands make the two-wheel drive as the rear drive.

On the contrary, the Tang EV exclusive series, which still adopts the predecessor scheme, is still not very attractive.

The price of the flagship version of the glory series four-wheel drive is 269,800 yuan. The performance of this version is very strong. It only takes 4.4 seconds to break the hundred, and the cruising range of 635 kilometers is not bad. However, the performance of BYD brand cars in terms of intelligence is not eye-catching. Even mid-range cars such as Tang EV don’t use car-standard chips that can meet the standard of 8155. Now, cars of the same class are popularizing 8295 chips whose performance is improved several times.

And the mid-range new energy vehicles are popularizing lidar, and BYD Tang has no application.

Therefore, this car looks more traditional, its pure electric version is generally competitive, and the sales volume of this series is relatively low; If you must choose this car, it is recommended to consider Tang DM-P.

Tianhe Auto editor, welcome to turn to praise.

Avita competes at SEV track in crossover fusion

On December 20, one year and one month after the launch of the Avita brand, the first batch of production cars of the Avita 11 and 011 were officially rolled off the production line at the Chongqing factory, and the delivery process will officially start at the end of this month.

At the same time, the "SEV" concept that the Avita brand has always emphasized, that is, the smart electric vehicle concept, is expected to further become a new subdivision track with stronger independence in 2023.

Avita CEO Tan Benhong believes that SEV should have three characteristics: new architecture, strong computing and high-voltage charging. For enterprises, the premise of realizing these three characteristics is the research and development and matching of software and hardware that consumes huge resources. At the same time, precise cost control and control of product development efficiency are required to achieve the core goal of fast and good. In addition, the construction of the marketing system is also crucial.

Adhering to the SEV concept, Avita 11 is equipped with an AVATRUST super-sensing system, which can precisely build a 4-layer independent sensing protection system, sense the surrounding environment in an all-round way, and escort the safe driving of the vehicle. At the same time, with the support of the AVATRUTH supercomputing system jointly developed by Avita and Huawei up to 400TOPS, Avita 11 can respond quickly even in the face of sudden scenarios such as "ghost probes".

In addition, under the support of Huawei DriveONE dual-motor four-wheel drive system, Avita 11 can accelerate at a fastest speed of 3.98 seconds, and is equipped with Ningde Times CTP ternary lithium battery pack, providing two battery life versions of 680km and 555km for users to choose from. With the assistance of 240kW high-power charging technology, Avita 11 can increase the effective battery life of 200km after charging for 10 minutes.

In terms of the construction of the marketing system, Avita has established a flexible offline marketing model of direct sales + partners, and has now exceeded the target of 200 stores. It has also successfully settled in the Huawei flagship store in Beijing Yintai Center and the flagship store in Shenzhen Bantian G District, narrowing the distance with consumers.

With the official launch of Avita 11 and 011, the first batch of Avita centers have also been fully opened in Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Ningbo, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Huzhou and other cities, marking the important stage of Avita’s delivery sprint.

At the same time, Avita’s high-voltage fast charging and replenishment network is rapidly improving, and the first customized high-voltage fast charging station jointly built has been put into use in Shanghai. According to the scheduled plan, Avita will build more than 100 customized high-voltage fast charging stations in 19 cities across the country by the end of 2023, creating an extremely fast replenishment experience for users "charging for 10 minutes and replenishing energy for 200 kilometers".

Nowadays, the electric vehicle industry has formed a relatively stable development trend, and most of the existing brands that have entered the stable development stage have more significant personalized advantages, which also poses more difficult and more diverse challenges for newly entered brands such as Avita – how to ensure the comprehensive competitiveness and quality of products while expanding at a high speed? How can we quickly establish the reputation and recognition of the brand? Avita believes that horizontal integration and cross-border cooperation are wise choices.

From the very beginning of the brand’s establishment, Avita has brought together current players in the automotive manufacturing, ICT and energy fields, pioneered the CHN cooperation model, and jointly created a new generation of intelligent electric vehicle technology platform CHN. In the process of vehicle design and manufacturing assembly, Avita has received the support of Changan Group, opening a unique development path. In terms of intelligent technology and energy assembly, Avita has coordinated with Huawei and Ningde Times to achieve horizontal integration of resources in different fields.

Perhaps, horizontal integration and cross-border cooperation will be a trend in the automotive industry in the future stage. Avita will play a pioneering and innovative role for a long time by leveraging its first-mover advantage and leveraging the strength of three enterprises in Changan, Huawei and Ningde era. Continue to explore and move forward. "The automotive industry is destined to be a marathon without end. On this track, Avita will remain curious, explore the unknown and embrace change," said Tan Benhong, chairperson and CEO of Avita Technology.

While products such as the Avita 11 are currently positioned within the "premium electric vehicle" category, as the SEV segment continues to grow, more smart electric vehicles will target new tracks.

In this way, Avita will still face major challenges in the future. After the SEV track is formed, more and more smart electric vehicle companies will gradually launch a large number of models with similar categories and similar performance by virtue of their respective advantages in the capital markets or production and manufacturing fields, and establish an unprecedented market ecology in the new benign competition landscape. This is good news for consumers with more and more options, and also puts forward higher requirements for Avita and other brands.

It’s not a good idea.Conclusion:

The new energy of the automotive industry has become the future development trend. With the comprehensive intelligence and networking of travel modes, the new generation of passenger cars will also have the characteristics of platform, high computing power, and high-voltage charging. This will enable a rapid transition to SEV, or intelligent electric vehicles, providing consumers with a highly scalable, vehicle-wide upgrade, high intelligence, and strong battery life travel experience.

The history of game AI evolution, the only thing that can stop AlphaGo may be Werewolf

  "Stimulate the battlefield below the golden level, 80 AI in one game", this is a topic that cannot be avoided recently about mobile PUBG.

  Regardless of whether the chicken-eating mobile game is really ***ting cold, after all, it is not uncommon for such a hundred-person online mobile game to use robots to make up numbers to speed up the matching rhythm. But why, almost everyone who has played the exciting battlefield will invariably question – "These are all robots, right?" The answer is obvious, the robots used to make up numbers are really ******.

  Without collecting equipment, without looking for cover, with poor marksmanship, and slow response… In a game where everyone has a lot of tricks, these special players are like couriers delivering equipment, which is very abrupt. Even if it is to take care of the gaming experience of novice players, but in high-end games, they will also encounter such "silly and sweet", which makes people wonder: Can’t these AIs be smarter?

  Today, we will discuss the past, present, and future of AI players in the history of gaming.

  Evolution history of game AI

  Since the birth of video games, there has been a shadow of game AI, whether it is the earliest oscilloscope tennis or tic-tac-toe, especially in the past when multiplayer online games were still trapped in the difficulty of popularizing network technology. AI in stand-alone games has become the most reliable companion for players and the absolute overlord of the game world at that time.

  In a sense, the prototype of video game AI may have already appeared in the classic arcade game "Pac-Man". At that time, the AI in the game was beginning to rise around the world, and "Pac-Man" at that time made a great attempt in this regard. There are a total of 4 different colors of monsters in the game, and each monster has a different pursuit algorithm, and all monsters have a unified goal of encircling and chasing. Therefore, in the game at that time, those monsters did not line up to chase the player, but "chased and intercepted" the player from different paths and methods, and there may be different choices at each intersection. This mechanism has made Pac-Man a significant attempt for modern video game AI, and has also made Pac-Man a classic in the hearts of gamers.

  Since then, more classic games have begun to revolve around opposing AI characters, such as Super Mario Brothers, The Legend of Zelda, Prince of Persia, and Mega Man 2. In these popular games, AI has become the key to ensuring the game experience and controlling the difficulty of the game. At that time, the core of the game was actually the confrontation between the player and the AI, but in different ways.

  At that time, the ultimate purpose of AI was to let players defeat and then gain a sense of achievement. However, AI at that time was still in the "pseudo-intelligence" stage, and the actions of the relevant virtual characters in the game were based on a series of scripts set in advance based on the conditional judgment language.

  However, as game types and gameplay have evolved, the roles and functions of AI have also changed. A typical example of this is 1987’s Metal Gear, in which AI first appeared in the game as a player’s equivalent, was given the role of patrol, and for the first time added the hostile reaction mechanism to the player. This mechanism gradually formed the enemy alarm mode of the core NPC in the Metal Gear series. The appearance of this AI mode also further expanded the mission and role scope of AI in the game.

  With the rapid development of hardware, algorithms, and computing power in the video game industry over the past 30 years, the pace of evolution of AI in games has gradually widened compared to that of human players. Especially at that time, most game mechanics were testing the player’s reaction and operation. In these aspects, AI has quickly destroyed humans. First-person shooter games are a good example.

  Starting with Counter Strike in 1999 and then Road to Survival, Valve laid the foundation for AI in FPS games, but in the early years, robots in CS have always been one of the places where players complain. At that time, robots were responsible for filling vacancies in the game. They had no other role than being cannon fodder and meat shields, because they basically acted according to easy-to-master rules, and most non-novice players could easily kill them.

  However, it is not difficult for those familiar with FPS games to find that in recent years, the AI in many FPS games has become more and more "brutal", and the difficulty level has also increased. In many cases, the highest difficulty AI combat power has far exceeded that of most players. In a recent online elite game of "CS: GO", there was an amazing scene – a robot named BOT Connor single-handedly killed the members of the opposing team.

  Today, AI is beginning to surpass humans in all aspects of different games, and even the various chess games that humans are proud of have long been beaten by IBM, Google and other tech giants. Not long ago, Go was completely lost without accident.

  Humans are responsible for inventing games, while AI is responsible for conquering games and players, which seems to be an irreversible trend. But in fact, there is always a battlefield in the field of games, where AI cannot completely defeat humans.

  Real-time strategy, humanity’s last "high ground"?

  After AlphaGo’s 3-0 victory over Ke Jie in May last year, many people lamented that humanity had become a complete catch-up on the road of "Game". However, AlphaGo did not think so, because it has another goal – "StarCraft".

  As early as 2016, after AlphaGo defeated Lee Sedol, Deepmind announced that it would challenge StarCraft players with AI in the future. But a year later, when AlphaGo was already alone in the Go world, AI was still "crushed" by top human players in the game of StarCraft. Google’s DeepMind practiced for a year and couldn’t even beat simple NPCs. In a game at the end of 2017, CherryPi from Facebook AI Research Institute was also swept by South Korean former professional player Song Bingju 0:4.

  The momentum of AI’s destruction in other fields seemed to stop abruptly in the face of StarCraft, all because of the characteristic mechanism of games like StarCraft, the fog of war.

  "StarCraft" is a game like Go, but the addition of the "Fog of War" mechanism has become a gap that AI cannot cross.

  In the game of Go, both sides could see each other’s current situation at any time, which meant that the player had no hidden information, and all the information in the past was clear at a glance. The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy depended on the player’s thorough understanding and imagination of the rules of the game.

  In real-time strategy games such as StarCraft, the fog of war makes it impossible for both sides to know all the information in the game. In this case, based on the limited information collected to make judgments and decisions about the dynamic situation, when to do what, many times need to rely on inference and guesswork. This is the "incomplete information game" that makes AI headaches, and games like Warcraft, Dota, etc. belong to this category.

  There is a common phenomenon between top AI and humans in such games – winning the battle and losing the war. If you analyze the gap between AI and humans, intuitively, it mainly lies in the "big picture" and "rhythm" aspects.

  As Geek Park mentioned in the previous article "Win Go first, then win the tower, and how can artificial intelligence catch up with humans in the game?", in this type of game, the change of strength is more dynamic, no one is absolutely strong and weak, the real winner may be at a certain point in time to seize the weakness of the other party, and the judgment of this point in time is a complex decision made through investigation and empirical judgment. Both sides of the game can change the direction of the battlefield by inducing and feigning attacks. Even if they are weak, they can achieve the transformation of the situation through some psychological games.

  When to attack, when to retreat, where to attack, divide and outflank, sneak attack and harassment, feint and lure… In the incomplete information, it is difficult for the AI to tease out absolutely valid logic to support the decision, so it is difficult to make key judgments at the right time.

  Therefore, in the past, many real-time strategy games could only improve their AI level by increasing their AI resource income, building speed, and fully opening the map. Under the same restrictions as human players, it was difficult to simply rely on operations to win the entire game.

  Where is the future of gaming AI?

  Perhaps AI will soon be able to defeat humans in the field of real-time strategy games, but that is not the future of gaming AI.

  With the investment and guidance of tech giants such as Google, Facebook, and IBM in this regard, it is not surprising that AI is likely to defeat humans in real-time strategy games in the future. For humans, it is more important to make better use of the development of AI to provide players with a better gaming experience. Just like when AlphaGo defeated Ke Jie, AlphaGo did not destroy the 3,000-year-old game, but opened the door to a new world of Go for humans through its own advantages.

  Regarding the exploration of the future of game AI, the famous game masterpiece "GTA5" is a perfect case. This open game with high realism and complexity has huge randomness, providing players with an unprecedented gaming experience. What’s more interesting is that this game has also become an experimental field for many autonomous driving AI. Intel Labs, Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany and Princeton University have all chosen to use the "GTA5" game to train artificial intelligence for autonomous driving.

  You know, smarter AI in the game can do far more than just defeat opponents, more importantly, according to the development of the plot and player characteristics, to provide a more perfect game experience, which can be dynamically increased difficulty, of course, can also be reduced, everything is to make the game more interesting to play.

  There is no need to worry too much about whether AI will eventually defeat humans, after all, we still have Werewolves. If one day AI can really read words, read expressions, and tone, and then deceive all humans to win, that will be the end of AI…

British experts say this is not the first time MH370 has been found on Google Maps

  According to the British media "Mirror", British technologist Ian Wilson claims to have found the crashed MH370 passenger plane on Google Maps, lying quietly in the jungle of Cambodia.

  Many netizens searched based on the Google Maps coordinates provided by Wilson (12.089059, 104.151882), and indeed saw the same image.

  But is this really MH370, which has been missing for four and a half years? Suspicions abound, and so far there is no conclusive evidence to confirm this claim.

       In fact, this is not the first time someone has claimed to have found MH370 on Google Maps.

  Off the coast of Padang, Indonesia

  According to the British media "Daily Star", in July this year, some netizens posted a screenshot of Google Maps on social networking sites, pointing out that the picture depicted the crashed passenger plane MH370, which crashed off the coast of Padang, Indonesia.

  The news quickly spread, and many people believed it to be true. According to Xingzhou.com, Eddie, the head of the Indonesian Padang Disaster Management Committee, then "refuted the rumor", saying that the pictures posted online showed traces of posting productin, and the Indonesian government had never received relevant information.

  Near the Round Island of Mauritius

  According to Fox News, in March this year, Australian amateur air crash investigator Peter McMahon said that he had carefully studied Google Maps and confirmed that the wreckage of MH370 was located 16 kilometers south of Round Island in Mauritius in the southwestern Indian Ocean. He has given the information to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and also claims that the fuselage of the plane is full of bullet holes.

  A spokesperson for Australia’s Joint Agency Coordination Centre said McMahon contacted the Australian Transport Safety Bureau via Facebook and email in 2016 and 2017, but the date of sending the pictures was November 6, 2009, four years before MH370 disappeared.

  South Africa’s Cape Coast

  According to the Daily Mail, in March 2016, Scott Waring, editor of the daily UFO sighting newspaper, reported that while searching for UFO sightings on Google Maps, he had accidentally found the wreckage of a plane suspected to be MH370 off the coast of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa.

  Mr. Waring said the satellite photo, taken on June 27, 2015, was 16 months away from the accident, and that it was most likely to have drifted there, based on Australian models of currents that floated MH370. But no debris was found in the area in subsequent searches.

  The Operational Secrets Behind Google Maps

  Since the disappearance of MH370, almost the whole world has been actively searching, and many ordinary people also want to do their part. Google Maps has become one of the most efficient search tools.

  According to British technology media Stuff, Google Maps spokeswoman Susan Cadrecha said that Google occasionally captures some difficult-to-explain images, especially objects moving at high speed underwater, such as fish, water currents, etc., which may form an airplane-like outline and give people the illusion.

  However, Google Maps does capture "special effects images" of real aircraft.

  A plane appears to have landed on a rooftop in central Adelaide, Australia.

A passenger plane is low potential among the trees of Brooklyn, USA.

  Forbes reported that Google Maps uses multiple satellite images to map the world, and satellites occasionally capture aircraft in flight, which may give users the above-mentioned bizarre images.

  Google Maps’ satellite imagery is sourced from DigitalGlobe, a US commercial space imagery and geospatial content provider, whose Earth Imaging Satellite is capable of capturing 30-centimeter resolution images.

  Each of DigitalGlobe’s satellites orbits the Earth 16 times a day and can collect 3 million square kilometers of imagery. Working around the clock, these satellites have long amassed a wealth of data that powers Google Maps.

  In addition, Google has hired a special team to manually check and correct maps using an internal program called "Atlas." Operators not only check for problems reported by tens of thousands of users every day, but also fix them as needed.

  Google Maps’ "Scientific Open Way"

  As well as providing users with navigation, Google Maps has long been a "professional assistant" for explorers and archaeologists.

  Google Maps was first used by an Italian programmer to discover historic sites. He discovered an ancient Roman manor more than 2,000 years ago. Since then, Google Maps has become a weapon for many archaeologists.

  Last October, archaeologists discovered 400 mysterious stone gates estimated to be 9,000 years old in a remote desert in Saudi Arabia using Google Maps.

  David Kennedy, a professor at the University of Western Australia who led the study, said he was contacted by a Saudi doctor with an interest in history who spotted the spectacle on Google Maps. The area is a "hellscape" without vegetation or water, so it has not been explored before.

  The high-resolution images are "democratizing" archaeological research, Mr. Kennedy said.

  In May of this year, a British butterfly scientist named Julian Bayliss discovered the last "secret garden" on Earth with the help of Google Maps.

  According to the technology media The Verge, Belize used Google Maps to observe the African rainforest for 15 years. In 2012, he found a volcano-like mountain range between Mabu and Namuri mountains in northern Mozambique.

  After six years of observation and research, Belize led an expedition into this pristine tropical rainforest in northern Mozambique. The reason why it is called the last mysterious garden on earth is because of its steep terrain and 700 meters above the ground, which keeps this rainforest the most pristine ecology.

  In fact, ordinary people can also use Google Maps to start their own exploration and archaeological journey. Google Earth also added an "Explorer" tool last year, which contains introductions from experts in various fields to help you rediscover this wonderful world.

Why does Andy Lau always make bad movies?

Text | Zhang Ying

"Andy Lau is an entertainer who is deified by all the media."

In a speech on a CCTV program in 2013, Andy Lau commented on himself. But everyone knows that the three words Andy Lau can no longer be summed up in words like "an artist".

 

"There can be people in Hong Kong who don’t know the governor, but no one doesn’t know Andy Lau." The media and the public have many similar evaluations of Andy Lau, constantly pushing him to a higher "mythical" status.

(Andy Lau’s "If Heaven Has Love")

It is undeniable that in the past 40 years of his debut, Andy Lau has many roles that everyone loves to talk about, and has also handed over many quality masterpieces such as "Infernal Affairs", "Heaven Ruoyou Love" and "Sister Tao". But at the same time,Poison Eye(WeChat ID: DomoreDumou)It seems that Andy Lau has been entangled and swayed in bad movies over the years.

A few days ago, the new film "Hot Blood Choir" that he produced and starred in was released. As of now, the box office is less than 50 million, and the rating of Douban is as low as 4.8. This result has awakened many people’s memories of "the bad movies that Andy Lau made these years."

"Buchuan Mountain Residence" is an "iconic bad movie" that he starred in that caused audiences to complain and bad reviews on a large scale. There are more films like "Ace", "Macau 3" and "My Agent Grandpa" with Douban ratings hovering around 3-5 points, and acting in movies with bad reputation. This is what happened to Andy Lau from time to time.

He himself has never been shy about this."I don’t care about scenes. I don’t dare to shoot anything except taking off my clothes."

"Stupid child" | "As long as I don’t take off my clothes, I dare to shoot"

"There is a stupid child born in the 1960s outside the quiet village." Andy Lau wrote and sang this lyric about himself.

 

Born in 1961 in a remote village in Hong Kong, Andy Lau moved to the city at the age of 6 and lived with his family in a slum called Diamond Hill. He knew how to live hard before anyone else: as a teenager, he got up at 4 a.m. to pull water and prepare to sell breakfast, helped out in his shop after school, started doing homework at 10, and slept only about four hours a night.

 

Because he had to help his family’s grocery store and the ice room deliver takeout, and the ice room was near the Jiancheng studio, Andy Lau kept an eye on the phone every day, rushing to answer when the bell rang, in order to go to the studio to deliver takeout and see more stars in the crew.

 

Perhaps because of this influence, after graduating from Secondary Five, Andy Lau applied for the wireless artist training class. At the age of 20, he entered the TVB training class and became a trainee.

 

A year later, Xu Anhua’s "Joining the Sea of Rage" began filming. One of the male leads was originally reserved for Chow Yun-fa, but Chow Yun-fa refused to play due to market considerations. After being recommended, the producers found Andy Lau. At that time, Andy Lau, who was a complete newcomer to the film, was not qualified to worry too much like Chow Yun-fa and firmly seize this precious role opportunity.

"Go to the Sea of Anger" won the earth-shattering wins, good reputation at the same time, also won the box office revenue of 15 million Hong Kong dollars, in 1982, this is the absolute head of the hit film, and the newcomer Andy Lau also took this hit, won the Academy Award "Best New Actor" nomination.

(Andy Lau starred in the 1982 film "Joining the Sea")

Perhaps it was because "Go to the Sea of Rage" allowed Andy Lau to dig the first "diamond", and then he buried his head on the "Diamond Mountain".But in this process, there will also be a lot of "sand and gravel".

 

According to incomplete statistics, in the four years from 1988 to 1992, Andy Lau almost made more than 10 movies every year. And among these huge numbers of movies, there are many bad movies that have long been forgotten in the corner.

 

Asked by the media in 2005 why he was making 12 films a year, Andy Lau replied: "I knew at that time that if I wanted to stay in the entertainment industry, I had to take more roles. No matter what, I had to make an impression on everyone, and I had to be firmly tied to everyone’s heart."

 

As a newcomer to the film industry, Andy Lau, who is in his twenties, had to film.

 

In the 1980s, the annual production of Hong Kong films remained at around 100, the total output value of films was once the first in Asia and the second in the world (after the United States). A large number of Hong Kong directors rose, and various types of films such as martial arts, action and comedy were produced. For Lau Dehua, it was a good time. The booming Hong Kong film market gave him the opportunity to make intensive films.

 

"In Hong Kong you can shoot three movies at the same time, shoot this one in the morning, change to another one tomorrow, and go home at night." Behind this "everything" mirrors the fierce competition behind the booming Hong Kong film market.

 

Andy Lau’s "opponents" include Zhou Yun-fat, Miao Qiaowei and Tang Zhenye, who are already famous in the market and have box office in the radio training class, as well as Leung Chaowei and Zhou Xingchi, who are in the late class.

 

Only by constantly shooting can Andy Lau catch up with the ever-changing market.Bad movies also became the "fate" he never got rid of in the process of running and catching up.

Businessperson | "Not so artistic, I love money"

"Stupid kid" Andy Lau also has smart things.

 

Perhaps the 15 million Hong Kong dollar of "Go to the Angry Sea" is too charming, and the smart Andy Lau smelled the huge opportunity of the film market. Obviously, this is a broader and more charming blue ocean.

"In the early 1990s, Andy Lau felt that he knew a lot about movies and wanted to try his hand at filming, so he set up a joint venture with a telecommunications company in Hong Kong," Jin Yan, who has worked with him for many years, told the media publicly.

From then on, Andy Lau assumed the role of a businessperson.

As a novice businessperson, Andy Lau did not go well. He invested in several films using expensive big-name actors such as Anita Mui, Maggie Cheung, and Guan Zhilin. The film "The Legend of War" (1992) alone had an investment of 60 million Hong Kong dollars, but in the end, the box office was only over 12 million.

 

By 1995, Andy Lau had lost more than 40 million yuan.

 

"From 1995 to the middle of 2000, all the scenes I made were used to pay off debts."Andy Lau once said in an interview. During this period, Andy Lau starred in a large number of films with poor reputation, such as "Ambition of Heaven and Earth" (1997), "Love Dream" (1999) and "Battle to the Top of Forbidden" (2000).

 

(Andy Lau’s "Love Dream")

After being in huge debt, the 40-year-old Andy Lau had to take a photo.

 

However, after the money was paid, Andy Lau still did not give up his film business. In 2002, he founded Yingyi Entertainment Co., Ltd. This time, Andy began to turn his attention to newcomers: in 2005, his Yingyi Entertainment launched the "Asian Rising Star Direction" program, in which Andy alone paid about 25 million Hong Kong dollars to film six emerging directors.

 

At that time, the list of new directors was now the big director Ning Hao. In 2006, Ning Hao used the 3.50 million invested by Andy Lau to shoot the box office 23.50 million work "Crazy Stone". Director Ning Hao had his own famous work and helped businessperson Andy Lau make money.

 

Unfortunately, of the six films that Andy Lau invested in, the other five lost money. Some were thrown away after filming, some were not released after filming, and some were begged for mercy halfway through the shooting: "Please don’t shoot it, okay?"

 

In the following years, Andy Lau’s company invested in many films, and he often starred in films he invested in in addition to his status as a producer and producer. Among them, there were many masterpieces such as "Sister Peach", and of course, there would also be films with general reputation such as "My Agent Grandpa" and "I Know Women’s Hearts".

Bad movies became part of Andy Lau’s businessWhen asked by the media "Don’t you think you are an artist?", Andy Lau could only answer with a smile: "I don’t count, I’m not that artistic, I love money."

Favors | Andy Lau of "On Call"

In the days when Andy Lau was desperately filming to pay off his debts, a familiar figure often appeared in his works: Wang Jing.

 

In those years, Wang Jing would find Andy Lau to act in a suitable film, giving him a lot of help when he was eager to make money. So in many public occasions later, Andy Lau would speak for Wang Jing without hesitation: "I came out of making the bad movies you said. Director Wang Jing gave his all for his movies, which is worthy of our admiration."

 

(Andy Lau and Wang Jing)

"Sometimes, for example, meeting Wang Jing may be too good a friend. I don’t know if this is good or not. I think sometimes some human favors are necessary for people."

 

Andy Lau repaid the money debt and owed the "love debt".

 

Not only Wang Jing, in the 1980s, when Andy Lau experienced being "hidden", he also received a lot of help from Hong Jinbao. After that, Andy Lau has been recalling the love of that year. Even Hong Jinbao himself lamented that he has won many celebrities, and it is difficult for most people to find them to make movies after they become popular, but there is another Andy Lau who is "on call".

 

(Andy Lau and Samuel Hung)

In this way, for the sake of favor, Andy Lau, who is about to turn 60, still had to shoot.

When he recorded the program "Zhiyun Dinner" in his early years, Andy Lau said that he was very eccentric, "friends will help you when you are busy."

When Zhang Weijian’s investment failed and he was facing bankruptcy, he asked Andy Lau to borrow money for help. Andy Lau generously helped him and told him that what he learned should be taught, and what he earned should be given to others.

Perhaps it was because he was helped by too many people in his early years that Andy Lau, who became famous, did not hesitate to assist filmmakers.Helping to play a "bad movie" is also one of the ways.

The 2013 release of "Tianji Fuchun Mountain Residence" (3 points on Douban) was the darkest moment for Andy Lau’s film reputation. Every time he attended an event, he had to face questions from the media "why did you accept this film".

When filming "The Founding of a Nation", Han Sanping took Sun Jianjun (the director of "Fuchun Mountain Residence") to see Andy Lau. At first, he asked Andy Lau to be the director. Andy Lau thought his directing ability was limited and refused, but in the process, Andy Lau and Sun Jianjun established a friendship.

 

Andy Lau said in an interview,"Just like a group of friends, the audience should not think so much about why, it is actually that simple."

 

(Andy Lau in "Secret: The Residence of Fuchun Mountain")

Du Qifeng once told Andy Lau to be selfish and choose works selfishly, so that he can control the quality of his works better.Andy Lau replied that this is not his personality.

 

In the future, Andy Lau’s "road to bad movies" may be longer. But fortunately, as long as they hear the words "Andy Lau", audiences will still walk into the cinema with hope.
