Special feature of 1905 film network The 52nd New York International Film Festival closed on October 12th, Beijing time. During the 16-day exhibition, although only a few films were world premieres, paul thomas anderson’s and david fincher’s high-expectation films undoubtedly set off a new wave of Oscar foresight. Documentary, edward snowden’s documentary that exposed the secret of American surveillance is also amazing. In the two days since the film was shown, it has caused heated discussion in all walks of life in the United States, and several major Hollywood film media have officially classified it as a potential player for the best documentary at this year’s Oscar.

Inherent vice commented on the double harvest of word-of-mouth box office of Gone Girl.

　 　 　At the Venice Film Festival in August this year, Barbara, the chairman of the festival, was obsessed with inherent vice and Gone Girl, which were "robbed" by the New York Film Festival. After the Toronto Film Festival ended earlier, many media were vague about this year’s Oscar situation, and many of them also considered that these two "highlights" had not been shown, which showed that these two films had high expectations in the industry. At the end of the New York Film Festival, "Gone Girl" ushered in a double harvest of word-of-mouth box office, while "inherent vice" was polarized because it was too surreal.

　 　 Inherent vice is paul thomas anderson’s latest stoner film noir, adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s novel of the same name in 2009. Because Pynchon’s novels have always been obscure and complicated, and they are typical absurd literary features, adapting them into films is a great test of the director’s skill. Therefore, it is not surprising that the film "inherent vice" won the polarized evaluation of film critics after its world premiere at the New York Film Festival. The reporter of Cinemablend, a well-known American film website, thinks that although the film is a typical stoner film, it tries its best to present strange and stupid interesting elements, but the plot is not attractive enough for people to see in the clouds and make the audience unknown so.[Click to view detailed film reviews]. However, "Variety" magazine believes that the film has cut down a lot of off-topic space and useless dialogue in the novel, while perfectly retaining the theme of the story, which is already very good. Photographer robert elswit’s skillful photography and magnificent color scenery also have extra points. Compared with Anderson’s previous works, the overall style of inherent vice is more biased, which is quite different from harmony.

　 　 In contrast, Gone Girl, directed by david fincher and starring Ben Affleck, is less controversial. Ten days after the official opening of the painting on October 3, it has won 78.3 million US dollars (about 480 million RMB) at the box office in the United States. As the opening film of the New York Film Festival, the film made its world premiere on September 26th, and immediately received rave reviews, and it was officially classified as a strong contender for this year’s Oscar.[Click to view detailed film reviews]However, in fact, this kind of love thriller film has not been shortlisted for the Oscar category, with the exception of 1987, which was shortlisted because of its great achievements at the box office. Now it seems that Gone Girl is likely to follow suit. According to foreign media reviews, Ben Affleck in Gone Girl continues his excellent acting skills, and several supporting actors, kim dickens, Carrie Coon and neil patrick harris, are also brilliant. The script adapted by the original author Gillian Flynn is impeccable. Deadline film critic Peter Hammond thinks that this film is to David Finch, just as it is to billy wilder and Hitchcock. If the later publicity is in place, there is no problem to be nominated for the best picture Oscar.

Snowden’s documentary "citizenfour" is a stunning addition to the Oscar battle.

　 　 This year, Steve James, Alan Hicks, and Gabe Polsky have already produced several powerful players in the Oscar documentary. However, the appearance of citizenfour by female directors Laura Poitras at the New York Film Festival still set off a strong public opinion upsurge, mainly because citizenfour is a film about edward snowden. The former CIA employee is world-famous for exposing the US Prism Gate project and exposing the US surveillance secrets. In addition to recording his life in Hongkong, Macau and Russia, the documentary also appeared in the former Guardian reporter Glenn greenwald, who helped him report the important secrets of the US National Security Agency. Their names are enough to attract the attention of citizenfour.

　 　 Citizenfour, which was shown at the New York Film Festival on the evening of October 11th, North America time, is the final part of the documentary trilogy directed by Laura Poitras. The first is "Iraq, My Motherland" in 2006, which recorded the life of the Iraqi people under American occupation and was nominated for the Oscar that year. The second documentary, in 2010, is related to bin Laden’s Al Qaeda and the military court at Guantanamo Bay. This time, "citizenfour" was directed by Petas by Snowden himself. Judging from the premiere reaction, it was considered to be the most exquisite of the three documentaries, and it was also the "most personal" documentary made by Petas.

　 　 Looking back on the history of Oscar for so many years, documentaries like citizenfour that question the American government are very suitable for the judges of the Academy. For example, The Panamanian Trick in 1991, The Waco Massacre in 1997, Fog of War in 2003, gasland in 2007, in 2010 and 2012, all of which were nominated for the best documentary. In addition, the popularity of this film by foreign media in the past few days after the premiere has greatly improved the chances of citizenfour’s impact on the Oscar.

The potential films are generally too serious. This year’s Oscar may be an "unexpected" dark horse.

　 　 The closing film of this New York Film Festival is from Alexsandro, which was shown at the Venice Film Festival before and will be released in North America this Friday. Birdman is not a good film in the normal sense, but it belongs to a more fun film, which is really rare in this year’s gloomy films.

　 　 Throughout this year’s Oscar-winning players, we will find that many of them should belong to the "melancholy" faction, such as the current powerful generals,, and, although they are admirable films, they are hard to bring people a good mood. Including several "good pictures" movies to be released soon. Tim burton’s, J·C· Chandor’s and Angelina Jolie’s are all excellent works, but none of them look pleasant. Even musicals, for example, are dark and melancholy.

　 　 Some critics believe that the news we saw in 2014 is probably Ebola virus, Gaza war, Syria and so on. It is no wonder that movies are so sad this year. But perhaps such a dense and serious theme will prompt the college to choose some "unexpected" films, such as Gone Girl mentioned above, and Nolan’s new film which will be released at the end of the year. After all, there have indeed been movies in the Oscar nominations for best picture, such as "Harmony" and "Harmony", which are more than 108,000 miles away from the taste of the academy.

　 　 Everyone likes to watch movies that please the audience, and the Oscar judges are no exception. There are no standards that stipulate what kind of films college voters need to nominate. In fact, the more diverse the film types, the better the whole competition process will look.

　 　 The nomination list for the 87th Oscar will be announced on January 15th, 2015, and the award ceremony will be held on February 22nd, 2015. Whether there will be a "dark horse" nomination that does not take the usual path this year, let us wait and see.

Bid for 350 thousand? Guangzhou Auto Show will be unveiled soon.

According to the previous news, Huawei will also launch a model between M7 and M9 to fill the gap in the market, that is, Wenjie M8. The M8 will be unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November, and recently the rendering of the car was exposed on the Internet.

This set of renderings comes from the appearance declaration of Celestial in China Patent Network. As the manufacturer of Jiejie automobile, Celestial announced the appearance patent drawing of the brand-new model at this time, so we judged that this automobile is Jiejie M8.

From the exterior view, the closed air intake grille of the new car has a ring-shaped light strip, which is the first time that the ring-shaped light strip element appeared in the car family of the car, which is completely different from the previous car series.

The new car uses a hidden door handle, and the lidar on the roof indicates that the new car will still provide Huawei ADS 3.0 advanced intelligent driving system. At the same time, on the left and right sides of the car body, there is an energy-supplementing cover plate, which means that the new car can be powered by oil and electricity and will provide extended-range power.

As for the price, the price of the M8 product in the world is positioned before M9, and the same price will be between 249,800 and 469,800. We predict that the price of the M8 product in the world will be 359,800 yuan, which is a better choice for car buyers who can’t meet the appearance design of M7 and reach the consumption level of M9 at a more reasonable price.

Is the future of online music as optimistic as some people in the industry expected? I’m afraid there’s a question mark.　

On March 22nd, Tencent Music announced its 2021Q4 and full-year financial report. Online music MAU decreased by 1% year-on-year, social entertainment MAU decreased by 21.5% year-on-year, and its net profit in 2021 decreased by 27% year-on-year. In the fourth quarter of 2021, net profit decreased by 55% year-on-year.　

In this context, the total revenue has further increased, and the performance highlight of paying users increasing by 20 million year-on-year is not enough. However, Tencent Music is the leading streaming music group in the world.　

Last April, Tencent Music changed coaches. I had expected some better changes in this company. But today, it has been nearly a year since Liang Zhu took over as CEO, and the situation facing the company is still hard to say optimistic.　

Tencent Music’s conference call further pointed out that the total revenue in the first quarter is expected to drop by about 15-17%, mainly based on the macro and competitive challenges faced by live broadcast.　

In the competition, how short videos impact the online music market has become an unavoidable problem in discussing the development of the industry.

Therefore, when ByteDance focused on the online music track, it brought an indescribable excitement to the whole market.　

On the bright side, after the exclusive copyright of online music was banned last year, copyright oauth2.0 is a general trend, which seems to be a great benefit to new players. At the same time, in recent years, under the devastating baptism of short videos to music culture, the old rules seem to have been broken.　

It is in this context that ByteDance first upgraded its music business to P1-level priority business, launched the Galaxy Ark music distribution business, and upgraded its musicians to serve as a hot Galaxy platform. Recently; Also officially launched the music APP "Soda Music".

The online music market, which has been silent for a long time, has great expectations from spoiling the game to entering the game.　

Can soda music bring great changes to music streaming media?　

At present, the discussion of this issue in the industry media focuses more on the "product innovation" of soda music.　

But what does online music business mean for ByteDance? Where is the real breaking point of byte music?　

In the view of Shentong Business, the "product model innovation" of soda music may not be the future of ByteDance. How to develop a new "business model" is the key to byte music and even the whole industry.　

As a matter of fact, the differences in product models that provide streaming music services are not enough to become competitive, and the competitiveness lies in the differences in content.Because of the great differences in personal music tastes and creations, there is no standardized solution.　

As far as the current situation of the industry is concerned, the copyright content will become the core problem that restricts the development of soda music for positioning streaming media services. This paper mainly analyzes the practical problems in the development of ByteDance’s music business:　

1. Can ByteDance pay the copyright owner a satisfactory consideration?

2. The exorbitant copyright transaction price in the current market is beyond the digestion (rather than affordability) of byte music business;

3. The music business cannot provide cash flow support for bytes in a short time.

　The July 24 penalty order has brought some hope to the industry, but the situation is not optimistic enough.— —Even in the so-called "post-exclusive copyright era", the core problem of high copyright cost is still difficult to break through.　

On the one hand, according to the industry news learned by Shentong Business,Many "all-round and open copyright negotiations" are stuck in the issue of "price", which is related to the existing interests of copyright owners and is difficult to promote.　

On the other hand, international music copyright investment mergers and acquisitions are frequent, which may further raise the global music copyright price in the later period.In the first four months of 2021, the global music acquisition and music library investment reached $7 billion, and the price of popular songs increased by 20-35 times, with Indian and China markets as the focus.　

It is worth noting that many transactions and authorizations of head copyright are split transactions, which will further increase the difficulty of "collecting stamps" copyright on streaming media platforms. Bob Dylan’s copyright transactions with a total price of about 500 million US dollars are distributed in Universal and Sony.

　In the abnormal copyright business, big record companies have too many negotiating advantages.　

According to the MRC report, in 2021, the proportion of recorded music released for more than 18 months on the American music streaming platform further increased from 66.4% in 2020 to 74.5%, and nearly three-quarters of it means — —

Without copyright, there would be no online music service, which is a heavy reality that ByteDance can’t avoid.

　On the other hand, the proportion of "music copyright in stock" has been greatly increased, and the streaming media broadcast volume of new songs is declining.Online music services have gained more older users, and young users have also shown their preference for old songs, which will provide a basis for the copyright value of "old songs".　

In a short period of time, the streaming music platform is rightThe dependence on "stock music copyright" will still drag down the normal development of the whole industry.— — ByteDance, a newcomer, needs to face this problem sooner or later.　

Last September, Late reported that since June 2021, Byte has invested no less than 1 billion yuan in music copyright. On the other hand, the strategy focuses on purchasing original songs and signing long-term cooperation with online celebrity Talent.　

But frankly speaking, 1 billion yuan is sufficient for the logic of byte purchase at that time, but it can only be said that it is a drop in the bucket for streaming media services.　

Needless to say, in the era of exclusive copyright, the content of a single head record company soared to the transaction price of 100 million; In contrast, in October last year, Blackstone injected $1 billion into the new Hipgnosis Fund for the acquisition of music rights.　

For Byte, the biggest problem is not how much money it can pay, but whether the cost of its copyright expenditure can be digested in its business development.　

Theoretically, after the July 24 penalty order, the "copyright mountain" of the music industry has changed from a market subject to the copyright market price itself. It is more realistic for copyright transactions to return to the long market negotiation and adjustment. On the market level, the current demand of domestic online music platforms for copyright owners to reduce prices is a trend deviation from the background of rising global music copyright costs — — The expectation of falling music copyright price is still not optimistic in the short term.　

At present, ByteDance has copyright cooperation with the three major record companies in the world, but its use scope is still limited to short videos and related extension services. For ByteDance, it is not the right time to trade the copyright of full-length head music.　

Let musicians stay in the Tik Tok system and let more mature musicians enter Tik Tok — — Perhaps it is the most appropriate goal for the development of byte music business at present.　

In recent years, the general mode of ByteDance’s new business is basically: first, as a traffic platform to undertake related advertising business, games, online education, e-commerce, and then directly enter the market at a suitable time.　

In the era of online video, music has always been the hottest field. Nowadays, more and more songs have become popular in Tik Tok, and the effectiveness of short videos in music communication has long been valued by streaming media platforms. Tencent Music and Netease Cloud Music are all trying to make efforts in the innovation and support of short video products.　

This means that,Musicians not only flow between music platforms, but also flow between short videos and music platforms.For music creators who became popular through Tik Tok and bilibili,The natural innovation and short popularity of short videos are the inherent limitations that restrict their development to more professional musicians.　

When the industrialized and more complete music platform invites short video musicians, the loss will inevitably occur on the short video platform.　

In fact, short video has become an important link in the modern music industry, such as the distribution service of Galaxy Ark, which is still a business closely linked with traditional streaming media. The Red Star River is nothing more than a musician’s version of the "Creator Support Program".

In addition, another key point is that, unlike the previous games, online education and e-commerce businesses,Online music business is not a business that can bring cash flow in a short time, which will affect Byte’s determination to invest in music to some extent.　

Expect the majority of C-end users to recharge their music experience, and look at ARPPU, where two domestic music giants are wandering below 10 yuan, and you will know that there is still a long way to go.　

Even in the film and television industry, which is highly dependent on incremental content, the high content cost is still difficult to be solved by self-control. For the music market based on "inventory copyright", the inequality of copyright transactions is almost a fateful problem.　

In the early years, the expansion of Tencent Music was based on the game of burning money, but in today’s Internet environment, whether for the music industry or ByteDance,Commercialization will be the top priority from the beginning.

For the massive traffic resources of bytes, the in-depth exploration of music business will gain more realistic benefits for byte music from streaming media platforms, copyright parties and advertisers. This means that in a short time, byte music will still be highly dependent on the Tik Tok system.

To put it simply, from the perspective of monetization, the return rate of games and e-commerce is higher, and within the limited traffic distribution, the resources that Tik Tok system can give to music business are insufficient. However, the failure to "de-Tik Tok" will also restrict the further independent development of its music business.

Compared with the original music business, the biggest change of soda music is not the innovation of product model, but the exploration of paid business model based on copyright content..　

At present, soda music has been launched on the paid membership system and digital album sales, and the membership price is low.　

In today’s huge byte business system, payment has always been a very lacking business model. Wukong question and answer, online education, etc. had the opportunity to go further in the payment model, but they have all been defeated; The byte game business, with reference to the development of Ali Linxi Entertainment, still needs breakthroughs in research and development and opportunities.　

However, the paid service of online music is really a choice with long payback period; Coupled with the purchase restriction of digital albums since last year, at present,The online music business income of the whole industry still only has the significance of equalizing the cost level.　

According to the conference call of Tencent Music Financial Report, it is expected that the online music business will break even at the operational level in 2022. This is enough to show the difficulty of making profits in online music business.　

The music industry is largely driven by streaming media, but direct sales to fans are the largest share of most artists’ income.Does the online music platform exploit musicians?　

Maybe not.　

The first financial report disclosed by Universal Music Group at the beginning of the month showed that in fiscal year 2021, the company’s revenue was 8.504 billion euros, an increase of 14.4% compared with 2020, and an increase of 17.0% at a fixed exchange rate. Operating profit reached 1.399 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 15.4%.      

Subscription and streaming media revenue are still the main sources of performance of copyright giants such as Universal, and are increasing year by year.　

On a global scale, the contradiction between musicians and online music platforms is still fermenting, and more and more musicians try to bypass the music platform to release their works. In 2021, independent musicians earned $9.9 million on the musician website Bandzoogle.　

For ByteDance, who is at the forefront of the global social media wave, it is indeed the most appropriate way to combine the advantages of its creator ecology with the wave of independent music.　

In the process of ByteDance’s rapid growth to a new level of Internet in China, the "traffic advertising model" is almost the only pillar of its commercialization. In essence, ByteDance is still an "advertising behemoth". In recent years, the expansion of Byte to e-commerce, games and even corporate services all shows anxiety before the peak of traffic.　

The diversification of business models often points not only to the growth of business space, but also to the only way for enterprises to feel safe.　

The product model of soda music, to some extent, shows that Byte is not determined enough to develop the music business, but this may not be a bad thing.　

If you know enough about the online music business, you will know that the situation of a renewed war is unlikely to happen. The industry will still slide on the old road for a long time before the long-standing disadvantages are broken.　

Byte music is busy fighting left and right. Don’t expect too much for the time being.

On June 16th, in Lidong Street, Hong Kong, the regional flags of National Flag of the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region fluttered in the wind. Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Gangshe

　　Xinhua News Agency, Hong Kong, June 26 (Reporter Wei Hua) There are still a few days to go before the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the motherland, and a festive atmosphere has permeated the streets of Hong Kong.

Since its debut, FAW-Volkswagen B9 has quickly won enthusiastic response from the market with its diversified configuration options, especially its 1.5T high-efficiency power system, which shows more outstanding performance compared with the one launched in the same period, and has become the first choice in the hearts of many consumers. So, what remarkable changes has this Magotan B9 brought? How impressive is its actual performance? Let’s explore together. Magotan B9 also performs well in sound insulation, and its body structure and the use of sound insulation materials effectively isolate the noise inside the car. Both urban driving and high-speed cruising can provide drivers and passengers with a quieter ride environment. In contrast, Passat Pro’s sound insulation effect is slightly insufficient.

Body size comparison, performance of Magotan B9

The body size of Magotan B9 is 4990*1854*1487mm, and the wheelbase is 2871mm. Compared with the old models, the size of Magotan B9 is a big circle, which belongs to the mainstream level in the same class, and the interior space has also been greatly improved.

Larger air intake grille and exquisite chrome decoration

On the front face, the new Magotan B9 adopts a larger air intake grille design, and the chrome decoration also highlights the exquisiteness of the vehicle, which is closely connected with the whole China Net. The diversion grooves and fog lamps on both sides of the bottom form a sports kit, which is also the difference between the Magotan B9 and the old models. In addition, the front enclosure is decorated with a honeycomb grid and a diffuser is designed to enhance the sense of movement of the vehicle. Coming to the side of the car body, the new Magotan B9 is not much different from the design of the old models in terms of lines. The sharp waistline runs from the front of the car to the rear of the car, lengthening the visual effect of the vehicle. The side skirt is decorated with chrome plating, so you don’t have to worry about bumping when the vehicle is driving in bad road conditions. In terms of the rear end, the Magotan B9 model has not changed much, and the penetrating taillight components have high recognition after lighting. The rear enclosure is also designed in a sporty way to show the difference between Magotan B9. The rear enclosure is decorated with chrome, and the diffuser decoration is designed in the middle, and the exhaust pipe decoration is cancelled.

Central control led by big screen, analysis of new Magotan B9 configuration.

After arriving in the car, the interior design of Magotan B9 hasn’t changed much, but the details have been adjusted. The automatic comfort type and the automatic enterprising type adopt an 8-inch central control screen, while the automatic enjoyment type and the automatic luxury type adopt a 9.2-inch central control screen. Unfortunately, the wireless charging of the mobile phone is changed to optional. A penetrating air outlet is added to the center console to enhance the sense of interior grade, and a roller shutter is also added to the cup holder area, with little change in other aspects. The steering wheel adopts a flat-bottomed design, which increases the sports atmosphere of the interior. Magotan B9 comes standard with tire pressure reminder, cruise control, automatic parking, uphill assist, engine start and stop, LED daytime running lights, automatic air conditioning, rear seat air outlet, temperature zone control, heating, electric folding, automatic folding after locking, etc. As a joint venture medium-sized car, this configuration is relatively rich.

Strong performance of 1.5T and 2.0T engines.

Magotan B9 is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines, matching with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Among them, the 2.0T turbocharged four-cylinder engine has a maximum power of 220 HP and a peak torque of 350 Nm. Equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox, it provides four driving modes: economy, comfort, sports and personalization to meet different driving needs. The official acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 7.4 seconds, while the comprehensive fuel consumption of WLTC is only 6.71L/100km, which shows excellent performance and low fuel consumption. Therefore, the overall power and acceleration feeling of Magotan B9 is still excellent. In addition, the comprehensive fuel consumption of the 1.5T model is 5.85 liters per 100 kilometers, which has more obvious advantages in fuel economy.

Generally speaking, this car is still very good. MagotanB9 and Magotan B9 are national family cars. The new generation of Magotan B9, which has just been listed, seems to stand out from the crowd. The novel design and larger interior space also make it a little fresh. Of course, Magotan B9 still has the aura of "national sedan", which is probably the only place where Magotan B9 is higher than other models. What do you think of this car? Some netizens teased: There is no national sedan outside Magotan B9.

Tengshi DENZA, a joint venture brand between BYD and Daimler, launched its brand and concept car at the Beijing Auto Show last year. The production model will be launched this year, and the debut of the production model is likely to be at the Shanghai Auto Show in April. A few days ago, we once again obtained the spy photos of the test car of Tengshi DENZA, and with the passage of time, more details gradually became clear.

[The taillights and headlights in the production version have clear outlines, which are obviously different from the concept headlights. The charging socket is hidden under the sealed cover plate in the middle of the air intake grille]

Although the taillights of the production model are temporary light groups like the headlights, the contours have become clear, which is very obvious from the design of the light groups of the concept car. However, the outline of the car body is basically similar, and it adopts a pattern similar to a hatchback and a half. From the side, it is a hatchback model, and the wide C-pillar and the tail box are completely integrated. But from the tail, it is basically a sedan version, with the rear windshield concave, and the trunk is the same as the sedan, with only the trunk lid and the rear windshield fixed.

The side door is still a conventional open design, rather than a concept car split structure. The charging socket is hidden under the sealed cover plate in the middle of the air intake grille. According to the information we have before, the DENZA model does not use the old Mercedes-Benz B-Class platform as reported earlier. For example, the rear suspension system is a torsion beam non-independent suspension, while the Mercedes-Benz B-Class does have a multi-link independent suspension structure. At this point, it is also different from BYD’s own E6 pure electric vehicle, which is also a multi-link independent rear suspension structure.

Previously, the spy photos of the central control panel of DENZA model and the integrated multimedia system panel with black piano paint have been exposed. However, it is not a sci-fi suspended central control panel that can slide horizontally on the concept car. The production model also does not use the camera-type exterior rearview mirror on the concept car. However, the newly exposed gearbox gear lever area is still very scientific and technological, which should be the same as E6 pure electric vehicle. The so-called gearbox gear lever is mainly an adjustment switch of motor drive mode, including four different gears: R, N, D and P. However, the gear of DENZA model adopts a design similar to Lexus’ Remote Touch, like a floating mouse. At the front of it is a water cup holder with a hole.

As a joint venture brand between BYD and Daimler, DENZA’s future is still difficult to determine. Obviously, both manufacturers have left their own hands. Daimler’s aim is to fully absorb the global technical resources of electric vehicles in the new energy era. Not only did Daimler cooperate with BYD, but also took a stake in Tesla, a famous American electric vehicle manufacturer, and the cooperation was further deepened, applying its electric vehicle technology to its own Mercedes-Benz brand models.

Daimler walks on two legs, and the cooperation enthusiasm with Tesla is higher. It is still difficult to determine whether the DENZA model jointly invested with BYD can go to overseas markets as expected. However, it is obvious that BYD has left a back road for itself, and the purpose of cooperation with Daimler is more to grasp the automobile manufacturing standards faster and more accurately, with a view to greatly improving its own car-making technology.

At the same time, BYD’s own electric vehicle technology is still being continuously developed and improved. For example, the bidirectional inverter charging and discharging technology is its latest research and development achievement. Many new modes, such as "vehicle-to-grid mode", electric vehicles can not only charge through the grid, but also feed electricity back to the grid; "Car-to-car mode" can realize mutual charging between electric vehicles. It integrates the functions of drive motor, vehicle charger and DC charging station, which greatly reduces the investment of professional charging stations, simplifies the charging standard and can easily adapt to the power supply situation in different markets.

In February, Sohu Auto first exposed the first spy photos of BYD Daimler Electric Vehicle Joint Venture Company. Last week, Sohu Auto once again exposed the product logo of BYD-Daimler joint venture company and the possible Chinese name. Today, Sohu Auto brings you the interior of the first new car of this joint venture company. Similarly, this is the first time that this new car interior has appeared in the public eye.

Denza new carInterior first exposure and cashMercedes-benz class bStyle approximation

The spy photos of the car’s appearance show that the first model of the joint venture between BYD and Daimler is code-named PT1, which we will call it hereinafter.

From the interior spy photos, the overall interior style design of PT1 is highly similar to that of Mercedes-Benz B-Class, and the design from instrument to center console is almost the same. It’s just that the LED display screen installed on the center console is expected to have a size of 7 inches, which makes the whole interior show the difference and reflects more sense of science and technology. The interior of the whole car adopts the color matching of black on the top and rice on the bottom, which is a common color matching, and the middle is inlaid with mahogany decorative strips, which is suitable for the style of the family car.

Although the new car adopts the consistent steering wheel design of BYD in recent years, it is learned from insiders that the steering wheel installed on the test car does not belong to PT1, but is borrowed from BYD. In the future, the steering wheel of PT1 may adopt a brand-new design. Due to the tight camouflage of the test car, we can’t see other details of the interior.

Along with the exposure of the interior, there is also a clearer photo of the front face. Through it, we also know more specifically the specific appearance of the front face design of this model. Because it is an electric vehicle, the size requirement of the air inlet of the vehicle is not so high, so there is a large area of decorative plate in the middle of the air intake grille of PT1, and the new logo of the joint venture company is in the center of the decorative plate.

The bumper design of the new car doesn’t have much brilliance, but although it is an electric car, it still has a large air intake on the bumper. It seems that its front face is no different from that of an ordinary gasoline car.

Power system or source e6,baseNot completely copiedb grade

Through the appearance we have exposed and the interior spy photos of this exposure, I believe that we have a relatively emotional understanding of PT1. Then, what is the relationship between the powertrain and chassis of this model and the two companies?

Whether PT1′ s power system completely copied BYD e6′ s power system has not been confirmed, but according to insiders, the car’s battery system is closely related to BYD e6. That is to say, at least the battery system of this model comes from BYD’s iron battery system. BYD started with the battery business, which is exactly their strength.

Although we have basically confirmed that this new car is based on Mercedes-Benz B-Class, we found through spy photos that the rear suspension of the test car is obviously different from the current Mercedes-Benz B-Class. Mercedes-Benz Class B is a multi-link independent rear suspension, while PT1′ s rear suspension is a torsion beam semi-independent suspension. The main reason for the change of rear suspension may still be based on cost considerations. Due to the high battery cost of electric vehicles, in other aspects, cost optimization is a must.

After communicating with relevant people, we learned that the PT1 motor, battery and electronic control (the three core components of electric vehicles) are all BYD’s, and its body will be slightly longer than Mercedes-Benz B, and some of its technologies are indeed similar to BYD e6, but it has also been greatly improved.

At the end of this month, BYD-Daimler joint venture company (the new joint venture company is just a research and development center because it has no production qualification) will soon release a brand-new brand and logo, and the English official website of the company can be linked at present. Although it can be linked, it is not known whether the website content is the final confirmation version). The first model of the joint venture company, PT1, will be exhibited at the Beijing Auto Show next month, when we can read the true face of Lushan Mountain.

　　Tempered glass doors and windows have become a common material in many buildings, and many people will choose tempered glass doors to install in bathrooms and other places for home decoration, which is both beautiful and can realize the functions of dry and wet separation. However, it is such a material recognized by the public that it actually exploded! What’s going on here?

　　The crackling of the bathroom at night

　　In June 2018, Mr. Wu, a citizen who lives in Banqiao New Town, Yuhuatai District, ordered a bathroom tempered glass shower door at a merchant in the nearby building materials market, with a price of 5,000 yuan, and has been using it normally since then. At 10 o’clock on the evening of July 4, 2019, Mr. Wu’s family was watching TV in the living room after taking a shower. Suddenly there was a bang in the bathroom, followed by the sound of broken glass.

　　Mr. Wu was shocked and quickly opened the bathroom door to check, and found that the shower door burst and the broken glass fell to the ground. On the one hand, Mr. Wu was glad that his family was not taking a bath when the explosion occurred, otherwise he would definitely be injured. On the other hand, he thought that the well-tempered glass had only been used for one year and suddenly "exploded". It must be that unscrupulous merchants sell unqualified tempered glass to themselves. So the next day, Mr. Wu called Yuhuatai District Market Supervision Administration 12315 to make a complaint.

　　Self-exploding toughened glass door

　　After receiving the complaint, the staff of Yuhuatai District Market Supervision Administration immediately contacted Mr. Wu and the merchants to understand the situation. The merchants said that all tempered glass was purchased from regular manufacturers. As for why the products suddenly exploded, they were not clear, only asking the manufacturers. Later, the staff contacted the tempered glass manufacturer by telephone. According to the explanation of the manufacturer’s technicians, tempered glass does explode itself, which is inevitable because of the production process of tempered glass itself. Especially in the shower room, the glass is unevenly heated and is more prone to bursting. Finally, under the coordination of the staff, the manufacturer promised to replace Mr. Wu with a new laminated glass shower door for free, which has a higher safety factor than traditional tempered glass.

　　Because modern float glass production technology can’t completely eliminate the existence of nickel sulfide impurities, self-explosion of toughened glass is inevitable, which is the inherent characteristic of toughened glass. China’s current standard (GB 15763.2-2005) has no restrictions on the self-explosion rate of tempered glass for the time being. According to relevant data, the self-explosion rate of tempered glass in China is about three thousandths at present.

　　Safety and explosion protection need to be cautious.

　　Yuhuatai District Market Supervision Administration reminds consumers that the use of tempered glass is risky and should be used with caution when choosing home improvement. For consumers who have installed tempered glass, besides paying attention to safety in daily use, they can stick high-performance polyester film on the glass. Commonly known as safety explosion-proof membrane, when the glass is broken for various reasons, it can stick to the glass fragments to prevent splashing and protect people from the splashing glass fragments. Conditional citizens can also replace tempered glass with laminated glass. Laminated glass is made up of two pieces of glass glued together with film. Even if both pieces of glass burst, the glass particles will stick together, and generally there will be no injuries.
