On July 6, Zhou Xingchi posted a sideways photo of himself wiping his tears while watching "In the Octagonal Cage" and expressed his opinion. He said, "Baoqiang is one of the best actors I have ever seen, and it turned out to be the best director. I am convinced!" In response to the praise of "Lord Xing", Wang Baoqiang excitedly wrote, "Lord Xing, I don’t know what words can express my current mood."

Because of the change in objective conditions, the most anticipated thing this year is to be able to see all kinds of concerts. People’s emotions about wanting to see concerts are also high to a certain level, and they cherish the opportunity to watch concerts. Therefore, they can see many veteran singers and new generation singers gather together for concerts.

With so many concerts, the price also attracted everyone’s attention. There is no doubt that Jay Chou, who is the king of the gods, and Mayday, the ticket price is at the normal level, between 380 yuan and 2,000 yuan. There are also very conscientious, super veteran singers like A Mei and Ren Xianqi, the highest ticket price is only 1380 yuan.

However, what surprised people was that the price of Zhang Yixing’s concert was 520 yuan, and the highest was 2,580 yuan! Among all the singers in the inventory, the lowest ticket price and the highest ticket price were the highest. No one, passers-by and netizens were stunned and said, "How dare you?"

In addition, Luhan’s is not low, the highest price is 2180 yuan for a ticket. Cai Xukun’s ticket is also 2000 yuan. To sum up, in fact, those who are higher than 2000 yuan are idols, and other powerful singers, the most expensive is 1800 yuan.

Idol dared to charge such a high price for the concert, so there is no need to be too surprised. It is nothing to think about it calmly. Anyway, it is the money of fans, and there is no melon with passers-by.

No passers-by, low ticket prices and no one watching

Idol is actually like this. Without passers-by, even if it really gives everyone the price of conscience, no one will pay for it.

The ticket prices for singers like Ren Xianqi and Miriam Yeung were not set high, not because they were old-fashioned singers, so they had no choice but to book a lower price. For these veteran singers, the people who liked to listen to their songs were often not die-hard fans, but maybe just ordinary passers-by who bought a few of their CDs at the end of the last century.

Vice versa, for a popular singer and an idol, even if the ticket price is low, passers-by will not spend money on tickets. Say something ugly, what are you doing in there? You haven’t heard a song, go in and stare at it?

Fans must see, the premium exaggeration does not affect

Passers-by definitely didn’t watch it, because fans definitely watched it, and fans didn’t listen to songs. To put it bluntly, this is actually a way and way to pay to see the true face of idou in disguise.

The so-called star chasing is like literally, if you want to revolve around this star, then the ultimate and highest realm of star chasing is to be able to touch this star and see the appearance of the star. For this, fans of course think it is worth the money. Treat enthusiastic fans with an attitude of respect and blessing. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, not spending other people’s money. No matter how high the ticket price is, as long as fans are willing to spend and buy, the money that generates a premium is not a roadblock that prevents fans from seeing their favorite beans. On the contrary, the higher the premium generated in this link, the more they will feel that it is this price that is worthy of their favorite beans.

The singer becomes a businessperson, and the machine cuts all the leeks

In the past, singers were all genuine singers who needed a good voice and a good tune. Today’s singers are called singing and dancing singers, also known as idols. There are not many good songs with a particularly high degree of singing, so they can only play tricks in other ways. Sound effects, stage art, sets, and other additional services are so much hype and dazzling, but the core elements are not found.

It felt as if the singers were no longer singers, but rather business people who had run out of tricks. They were no longer singers and fans in the traditional sense, because loving a song and being loved a song went both ways in a live concert. Instead, the merchant and the consumer, because they bought a certain product, gave away a series of other add-ons that were actually useless.

This is like the current market chaos, overpackaging, opening seven or eight boxes to see what kind of things are sold inside. However, then again, idols can only rely on these detours to make fans feel value for money.

In short, whether the concert price is worth it or not is a matter of opinion. No one is forcing anyone, and someone will always pay for the high ticket price.

Seeing the hottest winter break in a year, all four platforms have tried their best to attract effective audiences and improve the retention rate of high-quality audiences. The most typical performance is that all four platforms chose to lift out the dark horse series that the platform is optimistic about during this period. Like iQIYI and Tencent chose "Xianjian IV" and "Praying for the Present", which have a large fan base and potential audience groups. Although the male and female fans of "Xianjian IV" are quarreling because of the ranking issue, this is not wrong for the show itself.

On the contrary, it is because of the dispute between the male and female protagonists that many melon-eating netizens have noticed the setting of the drama, and the correct choice of the controversial point can also reduce the expenditure of the drama’s publicity expenses. At present, it seems that because the fans of the male and female protagonists are not united, the broadcast performance and online performance of this drama are slightly behind. The male protagonist of "Praying for the Present" is Xu Kai, a small student with both good looks and acting skills, and the female protagonist is Yu Shuxin, a small flower who takes into account the popularity of the drama. Compared with the discordant protagonist fans next door, the fans of these two people get along very harmoniously, and they are all focused on the promotion of

It is worth mentioning that "Praying for the Morning" attaches great importance to the promotion of a certain sound in the drama, and the selected staff is also full of enthusiastic and energetic young people. For now, the drama’s drama-chasing atmosphere is not bad. In the face of the strong offensive of iQIYI and Tencent video, Mango TV chose the most popular Chinese horror + unlimited stream theme among young audiences. Although the male and female protagonists of this drama are small and transparent, the novelty of the theme and the excitement of the script still attract many potential audience groups to watch the drama in real time.

Compared with the other two dramas, the only advantage of "19 Layers" is probably that it is starred and can win the attention of a diverse audience. It’s just that the budget of the drama promotion makes it still in the period of word-of-mouth fermentation, and there is no clear word-of-mouth explosion point and plot coolness. But in the current online environment, the most feared thing is that the quality of the drama itself is very good, but because of the negligence of online marketing, this good drama has been completely buried. "The fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys" is the current situation of the film and television drama market.

Although there are many choices of Xianxia themes that are heavily marketed, some audiences with special tastes are still in the period of drama shortage, and they urgently need new dramas of special types to provide nutrients. "Beginning", which is consistent with the theme of "19 Layers", wins from large-scale publicity investment. Only by letting more viewers know when the show will be broadcast and what is the main content, can the purpose of drama promotion be achieved to a greater extent. There are new dramas on all three platforms, and only the slow Youku has no major dramas, which makes users anxious.

Speaking of Cao Cao, the urban emotional drama "Love for a Long Time" starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng was successfully broadcast on Jiangsu Satellite TV. It is said that the production company of this drama and Yang Zi are already old acquaintances, and the new drama of the second cooperation is quite exciting. Although Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng’s CP sense is a little lacking, it should still be expected to become a hit under the blessing of the plot and character, otherwise Youku would not choose to broadcast it on such an important schedule. It can be seen that Youku has always trusted Yang Zi.

It is worth mentioning that several of the dramas that are competing with Yang Zi this time are still films and TV dramas starring 95 Shenghua. If Yang Zi loses the battle at 95 Shenghua’s hands again, it will be easy to be laughed at by the same period of Shenghua and Youku platform, and the identity of the queen of drama and explosive drama will also be questioned. In fact, Yang Zi has seen the power of 95 Shenghua as early as the summer of 2022. For example, the three-party statement during the casting period of "Agarwood Fragrance Like Pieces" and the three official seals shocked the entertainment industry. The reason is that Youku trusts Yang Zi too much.

However, the broadcast results of "Agarwood Like Crumbs" hit Youku hard in the face. The two major traffic cooperation Xianxia dramas were actually crushed by the costume dramas starring 95 Shenghua. First, Wu Lei and Zhao Ruth’s "Star Han Brilliant. Moonrise Canghai" dominated the summer season, and the broadcast results and online performance were unparalleled. Then there is Yu Shuxin, the "Canglan Jue" starring Wang Hedi, which triggered a craze for young people to follow dramas, almost monopolizing the entire summer audience. And Yang Zi’s new drama "Agarwood Like Crumbs" is too average.

So shortly after the show was broadcast, Youku posted a blog post that seemed to contain Yang Zi. Not only was it accompanied by Yang Zi’s hot topic "cake" at that time, but also the text "purple butt explosion" was marked on the picture, which can be said to be merciless ridicule and connotation. Youku’s unkind approach has also attracted Yang Zi’s fans to be dissatisfied for a long time. Now, Yang Zi and Youku have joined forces again to present "Love for a Long Time", or the same 95 flowers as opponents. Can Yang Zi use this drama to make up for the shame and protect the face of carrying the drama flowers?

Objectively speaking, it was not realistic for Yang Zi to achieve respectable success this time. First of all, because of the subject matter limitations of "Going to Love for a Long Time", the film and television dramas starring 95 Shenghua all have a certain degree of basic fans and theme chassis. However, the episode positioning of "Going to Love for a Long Time" urban emotional drama is not advantageous first, and it is easy to be easily crushed by the three dramas broadcast on other platforms. After all, the main factor that determines the broadcast performance of a drama is the audience, not fans, and the influence of fans on the drama is negligible.

Under the circumstance that most drama-chasing audiences prefer Xianxia dramas and costume dramas, the success of the new drama starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng depends on the blood of dogs, but on marketing. Urban dramas with a little blood of dogs have always been able to get very good ratings in the process of going to the stars, and marketing can make the audience understand the main content of the drama as much as possible, and then generate interest in chasing dramas. In addition, the drama "To Love for a Long Time" is a starred drama, and compared with other dramas, it is inevitable that there will be diversions.

But even so, the ratings of Shangxing drama are firmly controlled by 95 flowers. The family ethics drama starring Zhong Chuxi and Yang Chaoyue has been unfavorable from the beginning to the audience rating has been rising, which cannot be separated from the audience rating contributed by the remote control audience. Many viewers are attracted to this drama, and they are also accidentally attracted by Yang Chaoyue’s acting. So if the ratings of this drama starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng are not satisfactory, they will also be complained and connotations by the melon-eating masses of the same period of flowers and fan groups.

Because there are too many ancient costume idol dramas starring in these years, which is far from Yang Zi’s idea of seeking transformation and breakthrough in his early years, what Yang Zi needs most at this time is good results on different tracks. But it is not easy for a drama like "Love for a Long Time" to get very good CVB results, and the most likely step is probably to make a loss. Wanting to get very good network data in a clean situation is nothing short of a dream. Whether Yang Zi can break the label of only being excellent in ancient puppet dramas depends on this performance.

("China Star Jump")

(He Chong, Zhou Weitong)

　　Yesterday, the large-scale public welfare star diving reality show "China Star Jump" broadcast by Zhejiang Satellite TV has reached the finals in the first quarter. This long-awaited champion PK battle finally reached the peak of the top four.
　　
　　The rule of this competition is that the diving champion and the star player partner to help the players complete the diving together. So far, Zhou Weitong, who stood on PK diving platform several times, successfully entered the final of the first season with her own efforts, and partnered with He Chong, the diving champion, and the two sets of diving costumes she prepared once again became the focus of the audience.
　　
　　The program group changed the previous competition rules and invited the champion athletes of the national diving team to help the star students complete the diving. And Zhou Weitong is the diving champion He Chong. He Chong even personally awarded "Diving Cheats", which gave Zhou Weitong more confidence to cope with the hegemony of the top four. Although it was the finals, the program group still spent a lot of thoughts, and specially created two sets of diving clothes for Zhou Weitong, one set of peach pink clothes with diamonds and the other set of black and white pearls. These two sets of costumes once again made Zhou Weitong a star player who received much attention that day. In previous programs, Zhou Weitong was more eye-catching than other contestants in clothing. In the preliminary round, she was dressed in a yellow high-split one-piece bikini, which overwhelmed the crowd. In the semi-final, she won the "most beautiful swimsuit" with a blue-and-white porcelain costume full of strong Chinese style, and both the semi-final and Killer’s "twin sister costume" surprised the audience.
　　
　　Despite Zhou Weitong’s hard work and high popularity and attention, her slender legs and tall figure have also become a huge obstacle to Zhou Weitong’s diving promotion. In particular, the problem of bending her legs once troubled Zhou Weitong. In order to overcome her stubborn illness, she even used wooden sticks with her legs to climb and enhance her leg and arm strength, hoping to make up for the deficiency and present her movements perfectly. Even so, it is a pity that Zhou Weitong is not among the top three. However, this did not affect Zhou Weitong’s love for diving, and she said that she would carry this happiness to the end in the future.

"Brother, don’t make trouble."

As we all know, Chen He and Lin Gengxin are alumni and recognized friends in the entertainment industry. They often play games together and fight each other in private. Recently, there has been a heated discussion on the Internet that the two e-sports brothers will co-host a new variety show "Brother, stop making trouble" for the first time. According to relevant sources, Chen He and Lin Gengxin, as the resident "brothers" of this show, will not only serve as hosts, but also compete on the spot to recruit apprentices and assist the growth of new members. The show is rumored on the Internet to be "Mango TV’s version of" Happy Camp ". The two" brothers "will first help to create a new host group. After forming a fixed host team, they will invite popular artists to participate in the show.

At present, "Brother, stop making trouble" has officially announced 14 members of the preparatory host group. Among them, Cao Enqi, the actor of Chen Euan in "Hello, Old Times", and Pan Youcheng in "First Year · University Season" are very familiar. Cao Enqi graduated from the piano department of the Central Conservatory of Music, and his high-looking appearance and gentle temperament have attracted some fans. Pan Youcheng, on the other hand, once became attached to Lou Yixiao and Chen Jianbin because of "First Year", and later participated in many variety shows. In addition, Li Zhengjun, a medical master who graduated from Shandong University, is not only proficient in four languages, but also good at singing and dancing. Earlier, he appeared in "One Stand to the End" and danced in a doctor’s uniform. These members of the Preparatory Group were good-looking, intelligent, and strong. No wonder they attracted Chen He and Lin Gengxin to compete for "apprenticeships".

"Brother, don’t make trouble."

In addition, "Brother, don’t make a fuss" will be a light-hearted strategy game in the early stage, and Chen Helin Renewal will lead the members of the preparatory host group to grow together. After the end of the first season, the show will invite popular film and television dramas and variety artists to be guests in each episode, and participate in games and interactive performances with the host group. "It is not difficult to guess that Chen He, Lin Renewal and the preparatory host group are not only mentors and apprentices, but also opponents. After the mental duel, the two will also assist the program team in selecting the candidates for the host group.　

Based on this, this model is indeed reminiscent of Hunan Satellite TV’s ace show "Happy Camp". From the selection of "Shiny New Live Streaming Host" to Wu Xin and Haitao, to the establishment of "Happy Family", to the current style of fixed "fast book" entertainment model, the two shows are indeed very similar. As for whether "Brother, Stop Fucking", which has innovated into "Brain Game Season", will be more interesting than "Happy Camp", it will be revealed after the premiere this Friday.

The Chinese-language blockbuster "Silver Empire", which was invested and shot by Taiwan’s Crystal Pictures and Bona International Film Group, has recently stepped up its publicity offensive as the August 21 release day approaches. Starring Guo Fucheng, Hao Lei and Zhang Tielin gathered in Beijing, they deeply revealed the triangular love affair in which "father and son become rivals in love" in the film, and the interesting shooting stories behind it.

In the film, Guo Fucheng, who plays Shaodong with the ticket number "Tianchengyuan", freely admits when talking about the plot and the relationship between the characters: he loves his father, but loves "stepmother" more, and sums up his "Third Master Kang" as "deviant". He said: "In the play, because I have a’strange ‘relationship with my’mother’, I am confused and pretend to be mature in the first part of the play. This part is the most difficult to act! Later, I can’t express my most intimate love in my heart, and I feel more uncomfortable than death!"

When a reporter suggested that there were too many emotional scenes between the third master and the stepmother in the film, Guo Fucheng quickly expressed his disagreement: "Silver Empire uses a lot of space to describe the relationship between the third master and the stepmother, and there may even be a lot of passionate scenes. Of course, I think it is absolutely necessary, and it is absolutely unnecessary. Because even growing up in the Qing Dynasty, people will have seven emotions and six desires. It is absolutely reasonable and necessary to have a passionate scene in the plot, just to explain the development of the plot at that time. As for their final ending, it is a beautiful romance, because this plot of’love until separation is still love ‘is more evocative and heart-wrenching. I like this ending very much!"

When talking in detail about playing such a pair of hard-working lovers with Hao Lei, Guo Fucheng lamented that the most memorable thing was that there were a lot of "crying scenes" in the play, and Hao Lei’s moving eyes and rich emotions were an important reason for him to be able to participate very smoothly. "I remember that not long after the filming started, there was a scene where Hao Lei and I were riding a horse and breaking up in the wilderness. I had to hold back a deep feeling and sadness to cooperate with Hao Lei’s turning back. I don’t know why, looking at the moment she turned back, I felt very unforgettable! My tears fell leisurely! That scene is hard to forget!"

After that, the two cried for seven or eight hours "encouraging each other", setting a record, "I feel like our opponent was crying, and every time we cried for a long time, from dawn to dark. I remember one time, we started crying early in the morning. Hao Lei’s makeup artist went to catch up on sleep because she worked all night. When she woke up, she saw that we were still crying there, wow! It felt really incredible!"

　　In 2009, Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi met together. Fan Bingbing knew that his starring role was about to be released, and Wang Xueqi, an air government actor, did not have a publicity team. Fan Bingbing enthusiastically lent his publicity team to Wang Xueqi, and the collaboration between the two has since begun. It was during this period that Wang Xueqi won the Asian Film Award for Best Actor, the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor. Fan Bingbing also won the "Queen Actor" honor at this year’s Tokyo Film Festival.

　　At the same time that their careers were going well, in early 2010, the news of Wang Xueqi’s divorce from his wife appeared in the media, and rumors about Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi’s ambiguous relationship began to circulate. In December, when the upcoming New Year’s movie "Zhao’s Orphan" was recorded in Shanghai recently, some media took a photo of Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi "holding hands." The next day, rumors about "Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi living together" finally spread.

　　Fan Bingbing could no longer sit still. This female star who dared to wear dragon robes and call herself a "wealthy family" decided to stand up and say a few words for Wang Xueqi and herself. She talked to reporters and responded to all the rumors: "If you have anything, come at me, don’t mention seniors again!"

Why "hold hands"?

"I passed the microphone to Teacher Wang’s chair, and Teacher Wang answered it."

　　Reporter: What is the so-called cohabitation rumor?

　　Fan Bingbing: Our whole company calls Teacher Wang Xueqi "Teacher Wang". In my mind, he is a good person and a good teacher. I really want to laugh off this nonsense. But this time I can’t. I must solemnly tell those who maliciously slander and spread malice that although I personally have no power to punish you, we have the protection of the law. I hope you understand that hurting an artist who only wants to act well will always make your conscience uneasy.

　　Reporter: In the past two years, you and Wang Xueqi have often appeared in film and television works at the same time. Why did you cooperate so frequently?

　　Fan Bingbing: I belong to the same company as Mr. Wang, and it is normal for any agency to cooperate with the company’s actors. And Mr. Wang is an actor I admire very much. Every cooperation is a learning experience for me. Of course, I am willing to study hard and make progress every day.

　　Reporter: Then why did you "hold hands" in front of the media?

　　Fan Bingbing: We often "hold hands", walk the red carpet together, and do activities together, both in Beijing and Cannes. The so-called holding hands two days ago was when "Zhao’s Orphan" recorded a program in Shanghai. There were hundreds of people on the scene, and the main creator was interviewed with only one microphone, and everyone passed it on in turn. I put the microphone on Mr. Wang’s chair, and Mr. Wang picked it up, and the good person looked at the picture and said "holding hands". Next time I go on a business trip with someone on the same plane, I guess he can still make up "eloping". It’s not easy for people to eat by making up sensational news, but he has to be more particular about this bowl of rice. It’s incredible to make up a story of people "holding hands" on stage and in front of everyone. In the end, he even made up the story that Teacher Wang and I lived together for two years, which was even more out of nothing. I can only say that this story is brainless and not advanced!

Wang Xueqi’s reaction after seeing the news?

"Teacher Wang has been a soldier all his life and values honor the most"

　　Reporter: After Teacher Wang’s divorce, there was news that you were together, did you know?

　　Fan Bingbing: I know it all. The staff will tell me the news on the Internet or hear other people’s discussions. Every time I tell them easily, it doesn’t matter. What I have to doubt with Mr. Wang is because I think everyone is "not afraid of shadows." Then they will "intimidate" me and say "just wait, when you are uncomfortable". I still teach repeatedly. I often eat and chat with Mr. Wang and company colleagues in private. Everyone is as happy as a family. Mr. Wang is our elder, and all young people like to listen to him tell stories. This feeling of joy will make people relax their guard. But this time, the degree of excess is indeed beyond my estimate. " I have experienced a lot of things about "Windless Three Foot Waves", and I couldn’t figure it out a few years ago. That dirty wave is "blossoming in my heart", but now that I have grown up, I understand that there are people in the world who have bad hearts. In the face of these, I have long been "a piece of water without clothes". I just want to be unfair for Teacher Wang! How nice he is, he is so decent that a friend has described it: In front of Teacher Wang, I feel that I am wrong if I don’t do anything. I want to emphasize that you must make up things out of nothing, and come at me if you have anything, don’t mention seniors again!

　　Reporter: How did Wang Xueqi react after seeing the news? Have you talked?

　　Fan Bingbing: I have contact. I contacted Teacher Wang as soon as I got off the plane and received a call from my colleagues. I told him, "Old Wang, Xiao Fan is sorry for you, and I have implicated you. It is very dangerous to be a colleague with me, and it has become a’cohabitation ‘." Teacher Wang said to me very seriously: "We are not just colleagues, we are also revolutionary comrades, and comrades should share weal and woe together." He spoke very easily, but I knew that his mood could not be good. Teacher Wang has been a soldier all his life, and he values honor the most. I have never experienced this… I have a strong sense of guilt in my heart.

Suddenly, the 16-inch MacBook Pro replaced its 15-inch predecessor and made it onto Apple’s official website.

Beijing time on the evening of November 13, Apple in the absence of advance maintenance of the official website, the same as AirPods Pro, suddenly launched a 16-inch MacBook Pro, the previous rumors will only be late, not absent.

Coincidentally, in May this year, Apple just updated the 15-inch MacBook Pro, and after a lapse of six months, Apple once again significantly updated this product line, more frequently than in previous years.

To say who can experience this frequency more, it is better to buy a 15-inch MacBook Pro two days ago. Because compared to 15-inch, 16-inch MacBook Pro is more worthy of professional users.

Although the starting price of the 16-inch MacBook Pro is as high as 18,999 yuan, this does not stop its target users.

Looking at the body from the outside, like the 15-inch, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is available in silver and space gray. Not much has changed in appearance, the biggest change is in its screen.

Open the computer, the 16-inch display screen has a resolution of 3072×1920, ppi is 226, and the maximum brightness is 500 nits. The P3 wide color gamut and original color display are retained. As a comparison, the previous 15-inch resolution was 2880×1800 and ppi was 220.

Although the display size has become larger, the display effect of the screen is more delicate, and the supported colors have also been upgraded from "million colors" to "million colors". This display is the best in the current MacBook series, and it is obviously more desired by Pro users.

The display screen has become larger, but Apple has not changed the fuselage much. The length, width and height of the 16-inch are 35.79cm, 26.59cm, and 1.62cm respectively, and the weight is 2kg, while the 15-inch is 34.93cm, 24.07cm, 1.55cm, and the weight is 1.83kg. Almost a 16-inch screen is stuffed into the 15-inch fuselage.

For Pro users, this increase in size and weight is negligible.

By the way, the 16-inch MacBook Pro should have a higher screen ratio. This is also the high screen ratio and narrow bezels we pursue on mobile phones.

The camera in the center of the screen has been upgraded to a Face ID camera as rumored, and it is also a FaceTime camera that supports 720p.

In 2015, Apple, which pursued lightness, added a butterfly keyboard to the MacBook at that time. But this upgrade has been criticized by consumers for its high failure rate and frequent after-sales service. Most importantly, the butterfly keyboard has a short keystroke and a hard typing feel, which is not conducive to long-term coding.

Although Apple later improved it, the effect was still unsatisfactory.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro finally replaced the butterfly keyboard with a scissor keyboard. This is a signal that future MacBook products may be replaced by scissor keyboards, and we officially say goodbye to butterfly keyboards.

However, this scissor keyboard has been optimized by Apple, and its key travel is 1mm. Apple calls it a "second-controlled keyboard". This may also be one of the reasons for its slightly thicker body. As for its typing experience and mute effect, it needs to be actually known. But one thing is for sure, it must be better than the butterfly keyboard.

Key positions have also changed. From top to bottom, the first is that the function area of the Touch Bar is more distinct. The exit key (esc) and the power key (also the fingerprint key) are isolated from the touch area. At the same time, the former is changed from the touch key to the physical key.

This change will solve the "accidental touch" problem that Touch Bar has been criticized by users before, and improve the efficiency of blind typing. For example, pressing the power button but pressing Siri, pressing exit but not easy to find the position.

Further down is the optimization of the arrow keys. The size of the left and right arrow keys is finally no longer the same height as the up and down keys, but has become the same size button. Now you won’t be so awkward to press.

The speakers on either side of the keyboard have been increased to six, still three microphones. Compared with the old model, it will have stronger stereo effect. Apple claims that it offers dual vibration low-efficiency subwoofers for better bass effect.

After talking about external changes, let’s talk about internal improvement.

In fact, this is the last point to mention. As a representative of the top MacBook products, the 16-inch MacBook Pro was born for professional users.

The processor of the 16-inch MacBook Pro starts from the Intel 9th generation Core 6-core i7 processor, and the maximum optional 8-core i9 processor can reach 5.0GHz. Its performance is 2.1 times that of the 4-core MacBook Pro.

At the same time, Apple upgraded the heat dissipation system for this hot processor, officially claiming that its heat sink has increased by 35%, and the maximum continuous power of the MacBook Pro can therefore be increased by up to 12W.

The biggest change comes from the graphics processing unit. The standard and high-end versions of the 16-inch MacBook Pro are equipped with an AMD Radeon Pro 5300M graphics processing unit and a 5500 graphics processing unit, respectively. The standard 4GB video memory is available, and the maximum option is 8GB. This upgrade allows professionals to handle better image work.

Take the common Final Cut Pro X as an example, its rendering speed can be improved by an astonishing 90% compared to the 15-inch MacBook Pro. Therefore, Apple claims that this change can improve the performance of the previous Radeon Pro 560X by 2.1 times.

On the other hand, Apple has also raised the upper limit of options. The storage of the 16-inch MacBook Pro starts from 512 GB solid state drive, and the high-end version is 1TB, with a maximum optional 8TB solid state drive. The memory also starts with 16GB DDR4, but the maximum optional 64GB.

With such powerful performance and storage, there must be a better battery life. The 16-inch MacBook Pro boosts the battery to 100 watt-hours, and comes standard with a 96W charger. As a comparison, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is 83.6 watt-hours and the charger is 87W. Therefore, its battery life has also been increased from 10 hours to 11 hours (calculated by Apple’s wireless network browsing standard).

Other than that, there are no more changes to the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Therefore, it is a bit of a pity in terms of network connection. The 16-inch MacBook Pro does not yet support Wi-Fi 6.

Oh, no, and the price. The 16-inch MacBook Pro starts at 18,999 yuan, with a 2.6GHz i7 processor, 8GB + 512GB. The specific launch date has yet to be announced.

There is no doubt that with the development of the web, video content has become more and more popular. Apple is catering to more and more professional creative workers with products, especially those who have a high demand for images.

Although this group of people is so small, Apple’s product power is enough to make the notebook industry enter its twilight years, which is very rare in the industry.

"Buy or not?"

In Apple’s promotion, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is called "a studio that runs with you." The above problem is naturally solved.

This starting price may be able to buy two laptops for ordinary people, but it is a professional tool suitable for photographers, video workers, game developers and other practitioners who are used to macOS. Whether it is suitable for you depends on your needs and budget.

According to a report by Fast Tech on May 14, Huawei is accelerating its transition to its homegrown HarmonyOS platform, which is expected to be fully adopted in the second half of this year, gradually moving away from the Android system. This major shift will be marked by the release of the Mate 70 series, which is expected to be released around September. It will be equipped with HarmonyOS Next, an optimized and upgraded version of the Hongmeng system, for the first time.

The application of HarmonyOS Next on the Mate 70 series shows significant technological progress, especially the efficiency of memory usage has been increased to three times, and the built-in artificial intelligence support means that compared with the Android system, under the same hardware conditions, the Hongmeng system can provide higher operating efficiency.

Huawei is committed to rapidly expanding the ecological application range of HarmonyOS, planning to increase the number of supported applications to 5,000 by the end of the year, and based on this, the long-term goal is to surpass the 500,000 application mark.

Huawei’s senior management has shown firm determination in this regard. On April 18, rotating chairperson Xu Zhijun emphasized that the promotion of the new operating system is one of the core tasks in 2024, and the company will further increase its strategic investment to fully promote this transformation.

In addition, it is reported that the Mate 70 will be equipped with a new Kirin processor, whose performance has been restored to the industry’s top level, adding more expectations to Huawei’s path to independent technology.

　　CCTV News:Following the exposure draft of the four cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou yesterday, Chongqing, Hangzhou and other places have also followed up quickly, and will make specific provisions on local online car pricing, driver qualifications, vehicle qualifications, etc.

　　Driver’s household registration and vehicle license plates have become hot topics for netizens to discuss

　　After the release of the detailed exposure draft, it immediately caused a heated discussion. In the message area of the CCTV News WeChat public platform, netizens discussed the hottest, mainly focusing on issues such as ride safety, driver’s household registration and vehicle license plates.Some netizens believe that the restrictions on driver registration and license plates in Beijing and Shanghai are too strict, and the top priority should be to ensure the safety of passengers.

　　Phantastishch:I think these conditions must first ensure the safety of ride-hailing customers, which is a major premise. Is it possible to require drivers who engage in online ride-hailing to go to the local public security department for the record first, which is a constraint on them.

　　Empty Valley Orchid:Personally, I don’t think it is necessary to have a household registration and a vehicle in this city, but the quality of the driver should be good and the integrity should be high.

　　At the same time, there are also netizens who believe that a large number of online car-hailing vehicles are located outside the country, causing illegal parking and charging disputes to continue.

　　Mr. lonely:A local license plate should be required. In addition, the driver should be strictly reviewed to see if there is any illegal record. I personally feel that after all, in big cities, if you have a driving experience of less than 2 to 3 years, don’t come out to pick people up!

　　Back to nature. : I think the online car-hailing should be from this city, and the car in this city. In this case, personal information is easier to understand, and even if there is anything wrong, it is not so difficult to deal with!

　　Recently, when the Shanghai traffic law enforcement department rectified the chaos of online car-hailing, it was found that in the Hongqiao transportation hub area, the three online car-hailing platforms, Didi, Uber, and Yidao, all had lax checks and acquiesced in the situation of drivers and foreign-branded vehicles who did not have operating qualifications.

　　In the vicinity of Dawang Road in Beijing, at night, online taxis waiting for orders and picking up passengers queue up with some carpooling vehicles to the suburbs, stretching for hundreds of meters, accounting for two of the four lanes. Among them, online taxis with foreign license plates also account for a considerable proportion.

　

　　Beijing Transportation Commission: "Beijing People and Beijing Vehicles" Consider Population, Congestion and Air Quality

　　On the one hand, many people think that the rules are too strict. If implemented as such, it will inevitably lead to a significant decrease in the number of qualified online car-hailing drivers (taking Shanghai as an example, there are data showing that there are only more than 10,000 online car-hailing drivers with Shanghai household registration, and only a fraction of the 410,000 drivers who have been activated), which will lead to rising prices and affect the convenience of travel. On the other hand, it is also impossible to ignore that since the establishment of the online car-hailing platform, various problems have emerged one after another, especially the fact that although the car-hailing in other places has brought convenience to some people, it has also objectively exacerbated the congestion in some areas.

　　In response to why "Beijing people, Beijing cars" are required in the exposure draft of Beijing’s online car-hailing implementation rules, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission explained today that online car-hailing,This is determined by considering factors such as the city’s population, urban traffic congestion, and air quality.Some experts said that the "Beijing People and Beijing Car" was formulated with full consideration of Beijing’s needs for employment and population relief, and should be affirmed.

　　Around the net about car exposure draft centralized introduction, which revealed those important signals? As the net about car market ultimate participants, how should we participate in the formulation of policy?

　　CCTV Review

　　Strict management of online car-hailing "savage growth" stage will end

　　With the introduction of the new net car exposure draft, although it has not been officially implemented, it has made the entire net car field face new policy thresholds.A series of regulations, from local hukou and local cars to the large number of new cars, all suggest that the current new policy may be stricter on the management of online car-hailing. This may mark the end of the stage of "wild growth" of online car-hailing.

Map/Visual China

　　In the past few years, under the trend of "Internet +" and "sharing economy", the online car-hailing market has flourished from scratch, and a number of powerful enterprises have emerged. At the same time, with a large number of subsidies, cheap and fast online car-hailing has also changed the travel habits of many people.

　　However, due to the fact that online car-hailing is a new thing in the market, the management of this field is relatively lagging behind, so there are also some problems in the market. For example, there are large loopholes in the standards of people and vehicles, and lax security measures. The management of these aspects has stayed at the level of internal norms of each company, and has not yet formed a unified rule for the whole industry. The introduction of the new policy is to make up for the shortcomings of the policy by summarizing the practice of the online car-hailing industry.

　　The New Deal should be "economic fast", not black humor

　　Regulating and supervising new things is a necessary way. The question is how to regulate and supervise? At present, the whole society has reached a consensus on some general aspects. For example, making transportation more efficient and safer through Internet platforms, reducing congestion, reducing carbon emissions, and relieving the functions of core cities. No matter whether it is the regulators in Beijing and Shanghai, or the people living in these places and the online car-hailing platforms, they will not object to these.

　　Therefore, the New Deal certainly cannot go against these. But from the current exposure draft,In the setting of online ride-hailing management, many standards are higher than those of taxis. This can certainly reduce the impact on the traditional industry, but in this way, whether online ride-hailing can continue to maintain its economic and fast advantages will be put into question, and online ride-hailing platforms will become more and more like taxi companies. Passengers originally hoped that the development of online ride-hailing could force taxi companies to reform, but if the result turned into online ride-hailing "being recruited", it would become a black humor in the development of the Internet economy.

　

　　In addition, the restrictions on displacement and vehicle wheelbase in the exposure draft are also considered to be inconsistent with the concept of green travel.

　　Thirdly, there is also a lot of controversy over whether online ride-hailing drivers must have local household registration. After all, many places (including Beijing and Shanghai itself) are implementing the residence permit system, and gradually realizing that the public services enjoyed by the residence permit are consistent with those of registered residents.

　　Finally, the provisions on ride-hailing in the exposure draft are basically determined to be newly added operating vehicles, rather than encouraging private car owners to engage in ride-hailing or ride-sharing business. This essentially solves the travel problem by increasing the operation of vehicles, which is contrary to the essence of the sharing economy. Because the sharing economy itself solves the travel problem of more people by improving the operating efficiency of existing vehicles.

　　Only by asking the people for policies can we find the greatest common denominator of the interests of all parties

　　Judging from the feedback from all parties on the exposure draft, the controversy is relatively large, which is not a bad thing. In essence, these disputes should only be differences in the ways in which the parties achieve the common goal, rather than the pursuit of the goal itself. And this goal is to facilitate travel, travel safely, and reduce congestion. To solve this problem, we need to really listen to public opinion and find the intersection of interests between the parties after full controversy.

　　More than two months ago, the Ministry of Transport officially issued the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening Reform and Further Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry" and the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services". The legalization of online car-hailing has ushered in unanimous praise from all parties. This is also the result of collecting public opinion after 9 months. The exposure draft released in October last year was also criticized by the society at the beginning, and the jokers jumped out to complain. However, the rules issued after extensive consultation finally relaxed some standards based on actual feedback, and gained recognition in the design of innovative systems to give play to local autonomy, as well as the "tailor-made" standardized development of online car-hailing.

　　At present, the details of online car-hailing, including Beijing and Shanghai, are also soliciting public opinion, hoping to fully absorb the opinions of all parties in the decision-making process. Start with dispute and end with consensus. This is the result of a win-win situation for all parties. Written by CCTV Commentary, Wang Yahong
