Joy of Life VVIP provokes controversy: "Video websites may constitute VIP fraud"

Recently, Joy of Life, a costume drama, has been controversial because it costs 50 yuan to order it in advance, and some people even sued the video platform for it.

In addition, many users accused the video platform of "drinking poison to quench thirst", and some users said that they would switch to pirated platforms.

As of December 17th, Joy of Life scored 7.9 points in Douban, ranking first in the hot search list of mainland TV series of Tencent Video. According to the data of online film and television media data platform, as of December 17th, the popularity of the whole network in Joy of Life reached 51.26, far exceeding the costume dramas such as "He Lai Hua Ting" and "Sword Dynasty" broadcast in the same period.

At present, on Tencent and Iqiyi platforms, you have to pay 50 yuan to "unlock" 6 more episodes of Joy of Life than members.

On December 17th, Wang Juan, vice president of Tencent Video, talked about the recently controversial "VVIP" model in Joy of Life, saying: "The reason why we are controversial this time, I think it may be that we are not considerate enough to members’ consumption psychology. This piece is indeed our bug or something we have not done well enough."

Joy of LifeThe popularity is over the same period of costume drama, and members still need to pay for 50 yuan’s "unlocking" drama series.

On the evening of December 11th, Joy of Life needed to spend 50 yuan to board the hot search in Weibo due to the advance on demand.

Joy of Life is a costume drama directed by Sun Hao and starring Ruoyun Zhang and Li Qin, which premiered on November 26th, 2019 on Tencent Video and iQiyi. Production companies include Tencent Pictures, Xinli TV Culture Investment Co., Ltd., Deep Blue Film and Television, Reading Group, Huayu Times, Hainan Radio and Television, etc.

At present, on Tencent and Iqiyi platforms, it is necessary to pay 50 yuan to "unlock" six more episodes of Joy of Life than members, which has been hotly debated by netizens. As of December 17th, the drama has been broadcast to 29 episodes on both video platforms. However, at present, non-members can only watch the 17th episode, while members can only watch the 23rd episode. Only by paying 50 yuan to order in advance can they watch the 29th episode.

On the evening of December 14th, the People’s Daily client published an article entitled "Video website routines emerge in an endless stream, which is too ugly to eat", saying: "VVIP is set up outside VIP, and extra money is needed to enjoy advance on-demand video. Video websites are creating anxiety and inducing user consumption. Is there such an agreement in the previous agreement to purchase VIP? If it is not marked, this extra charge is actually a violation of consumer rights. "

On December 17th, Wang Juan, vice president of Tencent Video, said when talking about the recently controversial "VVIP" model in Joy of Life: "The reason why we are controversial this time, I think it may be that we are not considerate enough to members’ consumption psychology. This piece is indeed our bug or something we have not done well enough."

Facing the way of advanced VOD, Wang Juan also said: "The way of advanced VOD that we hope to explore has been challenged and criticized. But in the face of these things, a sense of crisis and creativity coexist. It is very important for the mining of user consumption, but we hope to think in a more scientific, more orderly and more respectful perspective. "

In addition, on December 17th, after the 4th Annual Summit of New Entertainment and New Consumption in China in 2019, Ying Dai, vice president of iQiyi and general manager of the self-made drama development center, said in response to the dispute over advanced video-on-demand in Joy of Life: "The content of video platforms is becoming more diverse, and the needs of users are becoming more diverse. Our original intention is to meet users’ more diverse content needs, but it may not be done well. In the future, we hope to take more account of users’ psychology and do a good job in the design and notification of scheduling. "

In fact, this is not the first time that the video platform has launched the "advance on demand" service.

At the end of the drama of the popular The Untamed, Tencent Video has launched a marketing strategy of an episode of 6 yuan and a total of 30 yuan’s pre-on-demand finale, testing the water for pre-on-demand.

Lawyer: After the appearance of VVIP, the propaganda promise of video websites constitutes fraud against VIP.

Zhao Zhanling, deputy director of Beijing Zhilin Law Firm, told the The Paper reporter: "The main problem in providing advanced on-demand service outside VIP is that purchasing VIP service means that you can watch 6 episodes first. According to consumers’ common understanding, this kind of preemption means that VIP members can watch 6 episodes first as long as there is a new episode update. However, due to the existence of advanced on-demand service, VIP members’ preemption of watching 6 episodes has only become relative to non-members and not relative to VVIP. Therefore, the propaganda promise of the video website about VIP members’ preemptive viewing of services is suspected of violating the Consumer Protection Law and constitutes fraud to consumers. "

It is worth noting that on December 16th, Weibo law blogger @ Wu Shengwei wsw, who has 670,000 fans, has taken Aiqiyi to court for pre-ordering. He said: "Joy of Life, who has been watching the hit of Iqiyi recently, is particularly good. After catching up with the latest episode, I found that I have to watch not only the patch advertisement, but also pay to watch it in advance. One episode is as high as 3 yuan. Only then did I realize that today’s members have become ordinary users. Nowadays, VIP members of iQiyi can’t automatically skip advertisements and watch hit dramas in advance. The original membership rights are gone, and many membership privileges are castrated in disguise. "

He also said: "I have always been a loyal user of iQiyi. I went through iQiyi’s VIP Member Service Agreement and found many problems and full format terms, so I am going to try it by legal means. I feel that if no one comes forward, there will be VVVIP, vvvvip in the future. The prosecution materials will be sent to the Haidian District People’s Court in Beijing by mail in the near future. "

Under the "film and television winter", the capital side is cautious, and the income pressure of video platforms is great.

On December 17th, Wang Juan, vice president of Tencent Video, admitted that the capital market gave less support to video websites this year, and the advertising growth rate was also slowing down.

"It’s true that the business support given by business friends to video websites is much less this year. Because last year, our variety show, our head network drama, can be said that every investment can basically achieve the goals we set for it, but this year is particularly difficult, because the budget you may have in your pocket has been reduced, and what is even more difficult is that everyone’s requirements for the delivery effect have gone further, so from the data point of view, our overall advertising growth rate has slowed down. "

Similarly, the third quarter report of iQiyi shows that online advertising revenue reached 2.1 billion yuan this quarter, down 14% year-on-year.

At the conference call after the financial report was released, Gong Yu, founder, director and CEO of iQiyi, expressed his expectation of advertising revenue in 2020. "Brand advertising accounts for the vast majority of iQiyi. There is no better sign of brand advertising next year as a whole, but effect advertising will be more optimistic next year because of iQiyi’s own efforts in technology and products. "

Gong Yu said: "The bottleneck of brand advertising revenue is not inventory, but the advertiser’s budget. So the utilization rate is not high. "

It is illegal for Taobao to prohibit sellers from returning favorable comments and bribe consumers to distort the evaluation.

Cctv newsAfter placing an order online, many consumers have received a "favorable cashback" card attached to the goods, or a short message or phone call seeking favorable comments. Recently, Taobao announced that it would prohibit sellers from guiding favorable comments by means of favorable comments cashback. 

Taobao issued a new regulation in official website, pointing out that sellers are not allowed to ask buyers to only write favorable comments, modify evaluations, add evaluations, etc. by themselves or through third parties; It is not allowed to encourage and guide buyers to "praise" on the condition of material or monetary commitment.

Bao Ran, Deputy Secretary General of Zhongguancun Modern Information Consumption Application Industry Technology AllianceBribing consumers or related user groups to make false or distorted product evaluations is illegal in essence.

In the first quarter, insurance complaints were high, and executives of 10 insurance companies were interviewed.

  Core reading

  In the first quarter, the national banking insurance supervision system received a total of 22,651 complaints about insurance consumption, which was 9.90% lower than the same period of last year, but it was still running at a high level. The fundamental reason is that insurance companies have not really established the business philosophy of customer first, the awareness of protecting consumers’ rights and interests is weak, the implementation of the main responsibility is not in place, especially the management and control of sales behavior is weak. In this regard, the regulatory authorities have further strengthened the investigation and punishment of misleading insurance sales, organized and carried out "precision strike action", strictly rectified, dealt with quickly, and paid more attention to accountability, played a warning and deterrent role, and better protected the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

  Recently, the Insurance Regulatory Commission of the Bank of China, in combination with the evaluation of handling complaints about insurance consumption in 2017, held supervision talks with the principal leaders of 10 insurance companies, including Xinhua Life Insurance, China Life Insurance, People’s Life Insurance, Sunshine Life Insurance, Taikang Life Insurance, Zhonghua Property Insurance, Yongan Property Insurance, Taiping Property Insurance, Yingda Property Insurance and Zhongan Online, which ranked lower in complaint handling evaluation.

  According to industry insiders, it is the first time that executives of various companies have been interviewed by the regulatory authorities, which reflects the determination of the regulatory authorities to protect consumer rights.

  In recent years, with the improvement of people’s living standards, insurance products and services not only cover all walks of life, but also go deeper into people’s lives. While residents’ awareness of insurance consumption has been significantly improved, various consumer disputes have followed suit, and consumer complaints have emerged in large numbers.

  What are the "hot spots" of these complaints? What are the deep-seated problems behind the development of the industry? How to improve? Our reporter interviewed the heads of relevant departments in China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission.

  Insurance complaints are still running at a high level, and claims disputes and sales disputes are more prominent.

  The data shows that in the first quarter of this year, the national banking insurance supervision system received a total of 22,651 complaints about insurance consumption, which was 9.90% lower than the same period of last year, but it was still running at a high level. In terms of property insurance, consumer complaints involved 10,944 pieces of property insurance. Among them, there are 8628 claims disputes, accounting for 78.84% of the total property insurance complaints. The claims disputes are still dominated by auto insurance claims, which mainly reflect the disputes over liability identification in the stage of loss determination and compensation, the slow limitation of claims, the disagreement over the amount of claims, the disputes over the reasons for refusing claims, and the claims disputes caused by the failure to explain the obligations of underwriting.

  In terms of personal insurance, consumer complaints involved 11,707 personal insurances. Among them, there were 4,907 complaints about sales disputes, accounting for 41.92% of the total complaints about personal insurance, which mainly reflected the exaggeration of insurance liability or income, the failure to truthfully explain the important contract contents such as insurance period, consequences of failure to pay fees on time, loss of termination and maturity of payment, and false and untrue propaganda. There were 3246 complaints about claims disputes, accounting for 27.73%, which mainly reflected the disputes about responsibility identification, slow limitation of claims and the amount of claims. There were 1140 complaints about surrender disputes, accounting for 9.74%, mainly reflecting the disputes over surrender amount and the slow time limit for surrender. In terms of types of insurance, complaints about insurance services such as sickness insurance and medical insurance increased significantly, with a year-on-year increase of 41.63%.

  "The complaint data and the market operation mastered by the regulatory authorities also confirm each other." The relevant responsible comrades in China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission said, "For example, in personal insurance complaints, sales disputes are relatively concentrated. In 2017, complaints caused by insurance sales accounted for 45.60% of personal insurance complaints, and complaints caused by misleading insurance liability or income accounted for more than 80% of sales disputes."

  "There are many insurance complaints. The fundamental reason is that insurance companies have not really established the business philosophy of customer first, consumers’ awareness of protection of rights and interests is weak, and the implementation of the main responsibility is not in place, especially the management and control of sales behavior is weak." He said that the problem of some insurance companies "focusing on front-end sales but neglecting back-end claims, focusing on performance and neglecting services" is more prominent, and it is difficult to meet the growing insurance demand of consumers. At the same time, some marketers have unilaterally explained product terms and deliberately concealed important contents of insurance contracts, infringing on the right to know and legitimate interests of insurance consumers.

  "The sales behavior of quick success and instant benefit not only damages the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, but also damages the reputation of insurance institutions and the social image of the industry." The person in charge said.

  Internet insurance complaints have increased, and flight delay insurance and travel accident insurance are hot spots for complaints.

  The chronic disease has not been removed, and the troubles are coming again. In recent years, complaints about Internet sales channels have increased rapidly. In 2017, insurance regulators received a total of 4,303 complaints about Internet sales channels, an increase of 52.64% over the same period in 2016. Among them, flight delay insurance, travel accident insurance, return freight insurance and hotel cancellation insurance sold through the Internet are the "hardest hit areas" for complaints.

  Insiders pointed out that the reason for the surge in Internet insurance complaints is that the sales method is not suitable for fully protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Different from face-to-face sales, online insurance mostly explains insurance clauses, insurance liabilities and other contents to consumers by means of "tick reading", which easily causes consumers to ignore or misunderstand important information that affects their insurance coverage, leading to contradictions and disputes in later claims settlement. Second, the service package does not match the speed of business development. Online new business has expanded its territory, but there are not enough physical service outlets and personnel to match it offline; The data systems of some third-party Internet platforms are lagging behind, and they can’t be connected with the business systems of insurance companies in real time, resulting in the problems that consumers can’t inquire about insurance policies and enjoy insurance services in time after being insured. Third, when some large Internet platforms cooperate with insurance companies, they are in an advantageous position in terms of capital, information, customer resources, etc. The latter is difficult to effectively control their sales behavior, and it is easy to cause complaints.

  "There are still some insurance companies that lack the scientificity and rigor of product design and development in pursuit of explosions and eye-catching, which is easy to lead to insurance consumption disputes." China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the responsible comrade, said that the regulatory authorities have been continuously cracking down on old problems and new problems.

  On May 28th this year, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission notified the administrative penalty decision of Quanzhou Central Branch of PICC Life Insurance Company. On the one hand, the company deceived the insured, lied that the product was sold within 7 days, and stated that "6% of the latest interest rates of major banks have been killed" and "the company enjoys dividend every year". At the same time, it refused to provide relevant information to the inspection team, which hindered supervision and inspection according to law. To this end, the company was fined 250,000 yuan, and the responsible person was severely dealt with.

  The regulatory authorities will continue to maintain strict punishment and strict accountability.

  The main problems of the 10 insurance companies interviewed this time focus on the high number of complaints about insurance consumption, the inadequate implementation of the complaint handling system, and more complaints about sales disputes and claims disputes. In addition to the top leaders, business department heads who caused more complaints were also required to participate in regulatory talks.

  The responsible persons of the insurance companies interviewed all said that they would strictly implement the regulatory requirements, rectify within a time limit, properly handle complaints and disputes with effective measures, continuously improve their operating level and service quality, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.

  "To purify the insurance market and protect consumers’ rights and interests, we must fight a tough battle and fight a protracted war." China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the responsible comrade, said that the regulatory authorities will adhere to the "people-centered" regulatory concept, solidly promote the work of rectifying market chaos, severely investigate and deal with all kinds of illegal acts that harm consumers’ legitimate rights and interests, and continue to strengthen the management of misleading insurance sales and difficult claims.

  Recently, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, China has further strengthened its efforts to investigate and punish misleading insurance sales, organized a "precision strike operation", strictly rectified, dealt with quickly, and paid more attention to accountability, playing a warning and deterrent role. "The regulatory authorities will continue to maintain a high-pressure situation of strict punishment and strict accountability for violations of laws and regulations, rectify and standardize market order, and better implement the protection of consumers’ legitimate rights and interests, forming a normal state." The person in charge said.

  Insiders pointed out that after the merger of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, supervision showed stronger execution — — In view of misleading bank insurance sales, China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission recently hit a heavy blow. According to the report of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission official website on June 6, the contents of insurance period and annualized rate of return declared by Sunshine Life Insurance when selling products were seriously inconsistent with the provisions of the insurance contract, which deceived the insured, and the illegal acts of Hohhot Jiadi Sub-branch of Bank of China, which allowed the insurance company staff to stay in the office to sell, participate in the bank’s agency insurance sales and "double record" work, Administrative penalties were imposed according to law: the insurance institutions involved were stopped accepting new business from banks for one year and fined 600,000 yuan; the banks involved stopped accepting new business from agency insurance for one year and fined 300,000 yuan; and the relevant responsible persons were also warned and fined.

Feature story | The Power Behind the Detection of Nucleic Acid in Wuhan, Hubei Province

CCTV News:At present, the nucleic acid testing of all staff in Wuhan, Hubei Province is being carried out in an orderly manner. How to finish the task efficiently in the shortest time? The power behind this is not only the concerted efforts of medical staff and citizens to fight the epidemic, but also the "hardcore" technology "weapons" invested by medical institutions and technology enterprises.

At 8 o’clock in the evening, more than 200 people in Longyang Street, Hanyang District were waiting in line to do nucleic acid. Liu Zhilian, the person in charge of the scene, had a special interview during the busy interval.

Wu Hui, who came for an interview, has 11 years’ experience as a nurse, and she is eager to participate in this epidemic.

Volunteer Wu Hui:Although I have left the hospital now, I think we need to come forward and contribute our little strength in this epidemic.

Because of her rich experience, Wu Hui passed the interview. She immediately put on a red vest and prepared for tomorrow’s nucleic acid test with other volunteers. In more than 2,800 sampling points in Wuhan, there are still many "uninvited" volunteers like Wu Hui.

In Donghu Road community nucleic acid testing point, every resident has a special guide when testing nucleic acid.

Li Feng, the fourth-level director of the directly under the authority Working Committee Office of Hubei Provincial Party Committee:I started to make preparations at 6 o’clock in the morning and worked until the early morning. Last night, I worked until nearly 12 o’clock.

The strength of science and technology is also helping the whole staff to detect nucleic acids. Ms. Wu of Donghu community felt a robot doing nucleic acids.

Ms. Wu, a resident of Donghu Community in Wuhan:It will move left and right, then turn around, and you will obviously feel something circling in the upper part of your throat.

This is the first mobile nucleic acid detection vehicle in Hubei. The robotic arm equipped with artificial intelligence algorithm collects one sample in one minute, and can detect nucleic acid of 24 samples at the same time, and the results can be obtained within 45 minutes at the earliest.

Li Yirong, Director of Laboratory of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University:The traditional PCR technology is divided into three temperatures to amplify it (sample), which means that it takes time for the instrument to switch between the three temperatures, but it only has a temperature of 60, so it can shorten the time.

Competition film Great Expectations: An Disillusionment in the Adaptation of Famous Works


The 2012 edition of Great Expectations is conservative and traditional.

    Movie network news Compared with the dazzling skills, exaggeration and excessive changes in the adaptation of famous works in recent years, the 2012 editionGreat expectationsAppearing conservative and traditional, director mike newell shows the growth track of the protagonist Pip step by step according to the chronological order of the original works. However, it is an impossible task to include a literary masterpiece, especially an epic about growth and changes of the times, with the duration of a film. Expect again and again, but always get disappointed again and again. Perhaps, just as the upper class is to Pip, it is just an illusory dream to adapt the film without seeking transcendence but reaching the original.

    Director Mike must have thought that all the audience had seen the original work, so he only chose a few important paragraphs, which also made the rhythm of the film very out of step, and the personality change and complicated relationship between the characters could not be explained clearly, leaving regrets. Pip’s way of growing up is actually to know love, money, class, humanity and redemption step by step. It is Dickens’ interpretation of all this, but every part of the story in the movie is missing something, and it is over before the climax, leaving only us off the screen, with an empty sense of nothingness to the subtitles. In the movie, Pip had an instant epiphany in the face of life changes and spiritual shocks, which saved all the entanglements and struggles, which made the embarrassment of being ridiculed, the pain of losing loved ones and the repentance of starting over not enough to touch people’s hearts and lose the power of the original text.

    The swamp where the story begins and the countryside in Kent are quiet and beautiful, but the protagonist Pip’s shortness of breath and footsteps seem so uncoordinated. The sudden jump out of the prisoners hiding in the cemetery breaks this tranquility and changes Pip’s life from now on. Especially when I think back after I know the ending, I hope that time will pass slowly and then slowly. Even if I have a poor life and my sister’s beating and scolding, at least I have enough food and clothing and my brother-in-law’s protection. Just at that time, Pip didn’t know ordinary happiness. In front of the arrogant and beautiful noble lady, he just wanted to get into the upper class and exchange his "great future" for his sweetheart’s favor, but he didn’t know that such a future ruined his life. In his "ideal life", the narrow old streets of London make people feel bad, and the camera is aimed at the dirty mess in Little Britain. The so-called "great expectations" are also concentrated in exquisite and exaggerated aristocratic costumes and seemingly boring parties in the upper class. This irony should have been the protagonist’s experience after many experiences, but it is too superficial and deliberate in front of the camera.

    Dickens wrote two endings for Great Expectations, which were originally gloomy and sad, but under the pressure of the publishing house, there was another happy ending as described in the film. The audience who like romantic love may applaud and believe that this is true love, but this love with too many impurities is hard to impress everyone. Director Mike and screenwriter david nicholls’s choice of ending is also doomed to lose the recognition of some audiences.

    Fortunately, the restoration of the key points of the original, the exquisite dialogue, the retro British accent and the street view with a sense of the times, as well as the performances of Ralph Fiennes and helena carter, are enough to make this film qualify as a tribute to Dickens. In particular, Pip’s confession to Estella is a classic, which makes the listeners all moved. Ralph Fiennes’s appearance is not much, but it is one of the hidden main lines, and it is also the mainstay of this tome. Helena carter imitates tim burton’s "Corpse Bride" and the defeated "Queen of Spades". Although she occasionally feels a little jumpy, she still vividly displays the pale, thin, mysterious and weird image of a bad woman. Herbert, Pip’s good friend, is extremely dramatic in many supporting roles, even more vivid and lovely than Pip. No matter when he appeared as a child or grew up, he always brought people happy laughter, which also made the depressed story have a glimmer of light.

Be alert! Your express bill information is "streaking" seriously!

During the two sessions this year, Jin Keke, a representative of the Municipal People’s Congress, submitted a proposal on "privacy list". In his view, express delivery companies should implement privacy sheets as soon as possible, implement the legal obligation to protect personal sensitive information, and put a "protective suit" on each personal information attached to the express parcel.

Put on "protective clothing" for personal information attached to express parcels.

With the rapid development of Internet economy, convenient online shopping has become an increasingly important channel for consumers. However, while enjoying the convenience brought by express delivery service, users are also deeply troubled by the problem of personal information leakage:

Today, with the full popularity of express delivery in real-name registration system, a small express delivery list contains all kinds of user information, which makes the express delivery list the hardest hit area for user information leakage and provides the possibility for illegal telecom activities such as online fraud.

"Privacy Sheet" service is not the default.

What is a "privacy sheet"?

Many users have experienced such a courier service, that is, using "asterisk number" or "smiley face number" instead of the middle mobile phone number and user name on the courier list to protect users’ personal privacy information.

As early as 2017, some express delivery companies and express delivery platforms tried to launch "privacy sheets": some "privacy sheets" replaced the middle four digits of the recipient’s mobile phone number with asterisks; Some "privacy sheets" not only do not display the mobile phone number, but also hide the specific address. However, several years have passed, and the popularity of "privacy sheets" is not high. The electronic sheets of parcels received and sent by users still generally show the recipient’s name, telephone number and detailed address completely.

According to the survey in Jin Keke, among the 12 mainstream express delivery companies in the market, only a few express delivery companies provide customers with privacy services.

What is the application of "Privacy Sheet"? The reporter also made some investigations.

On the shelf of a fast bird station on Tianshan Road, the reporter saw more than 40 express parcels, only 5 of which were hidden in the middle of the personal mobile phone number.

According to the staff of the station, in the express delivery he actually received, "privacy sheet" rarely appeared.

In fact, many express delivery companies are still implementing "privacy orders", but the service methods are different.

Companies represented by Tmall Supermarket provide users with "private sticky notes", and users need to stick the stickers on the information they want to hide themselves. A few courier companies list "hide the middle digits of the mobile phone number" and "only display the last name without displaying the first name" as the default options.

However, the "privacy list" service of most courier companies is not the default service, and users should choose this service independently when sending the mail if necessary.

For example, the user information on the general list is not hidden by default. The reporter entered Zhongtong’s WeChat Express applet, chose to make an appointment to send the mail, clicked the "value-added service" option at the bottom of the page and saw the "security number" button. The customer service said that after the "security number" is turned on, part of the printed user information will be replaced by "*".

Users need to check the "security number" in the value-added service to enjoy the privacy face-to-face service.

Yunda Express also requires users to choose the "Privacy Face Sheet" service independently. The reporter opens the delivery page of Yunda Express applet and clicks on the column of "Value-added Services". There are options such as privacy face sheet, payment collection, and return of signature, which the user should actively check, and the default page is not to select privacy face sheet service.

On Taobao, Tik Tok and other live broadcast platforms, when reporters place an order for shopping, most of them don’t have the option of "privacy menu", and they can only hope that the shipper will choose the "privacy menu" service.

The "Privacy Sheet" in value-added services is not the default, so you need to check it actively.

The reporter also interviewed a number of consumers, most of whom said:

The reason why you don’t choose the "privacy face sheet" service is not that you don’t care about information leakage, but that you can’t find the entrance to choose the service, or you have never heard of this service at all.

Increase the risk of personal information disclosure

In the face of information "streaking" express delivery, most consumers’ awareness of self-protection is not strong.

The reporter found that on a small courier list, from the name to the contact information to the address, the information of the sender and the recipient is "at a glance". Some users will tear down the list and destroy it after receiving the courier. Users who don’t care will discard it at will. Especially during the epidemic period, after receiving the express delivery, users mostly throw the outer packaging with the face sheet outdoors for cautious reasons, so that people with ulterior motives can take advantage of it.

The absence of privacy measures for express delivery orders greatly increases the risk of disclosure of personal sensitive information.

According to media reports, a considerable number of criminals have used express delivery forms to collect personal information for various types of illegal and criminal activities. Especially during the epidemic, a large number of elderly people learned to buy daily necessities through e-commerce platforms, and this group is also the most vulnerable to telecom fraud.

Why do express delivery companies hide in the setting of "privacy list"?

In Jin Keke’s view, express delivery companies turn off the option of privacy treatment of face sheets by default, and only provide this service when users take the initiative to choose. In this way, the enterprise will transfer the obligation of privacy treatment of the face sheet to the user.

"Privacy sheets will reduce dispatch efficiency." Jin Keke said that if a courier company implements a privacy sheet, the courier needs to use a specific barcode scanner to scan the corresponding barcode in order to obtain personal information. Compared with when the private face-to-face service is not implemented, it will affect the logistics efficiency to a certain extent, so it will also affect the income of couriers.

The use of privacy sheets is also related to the cost of enterprises. Chai Shanshan, a deputy to the National People’s Congress, has also investigated this issue. He found that when the courier with the privacy sheet is delivered, the courier will have one more process to check the contact phone number in the system, which will affect the delivery efficiency. In the case of the rapid increase of express delivery, the delivery efficiency is reduced, which is bound to increase the staffing, thus increasing the cost of enterprises.

Express delivery enterprises should fulfill the obligation of encryption

The Provisional Regulations on Express Delivery stipulates that express delivery enterprises should properly keep electronic data such as user information, regularly destroy express waybills, and take effective technical measures to ensure the safety of user information.

Article 51 of the Personal Information Protection Law stipulates that personal information processors should take corresponding security technical measures such as encryption and de-identification in the process of processing personal information.

"The courier list contains personal sensitive information, and the above provisions shall apply." Jin Keke believes that according to the provisions of the Personal Information Protection Law, it is a legal obligation to encrypt and privacy user information to avoid the risk of disclosure, and express delivery companies should take the initiative to fulfill it.

"Of course, we must also consider the affordability of corporate costs." Jin Keke suggested:

On the one hand, on the basis of investigation and research, a plan is put forward as soon as possible, requiring express delivery enterprises to take practical measures to fulfill their legal obligations to avoid the disclosure of personal sensitive information; on the other hand, it is necessary to speed up research and provide relevant technical solutions to eliminate the impact of privacy sheets on logistics efficiency as much as possible.

Delegates also suggested strengthening the publicity of personal information protection and strengthening the public’s awareness of personal information security protection.

Anyang, Henan Province: Continue to suspend the flow of personnel and start the fourth round of nucleic acid testing for all personnel.

CCTV News:Today (January 13th) morning, the Anyang Municipal Government of Henan Province held the fifth press conference on epidemic prevention and control in COVID-19 to inform the latest situation of epidemic prevention and control.

Li Chao, Deputy Director of Anyang Municipal Government Office:From 8: 00 on January 12 to 8: 00 on January 13, there were 17 new confirmed cases in the city, and 140 confirmed cases were reported. All the above cases were transferred to designated hospitals for isolation treatment. According to the current situation of epidemic prevention and control in our city, since January 12th, Yucai School and Guxian Town in tangyin county are all high-risk areas, and Building 4 in the East Zone of Anshang Mansion in Jinhe Street in hua county is designated as medium-risk areas.

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.

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.
