  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.

The new "Happy Camp" was born, and Chen Helin updated the scene to grab apprentices

"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.

Ruan Jingtian doesn’t want to be the tyrant

Text | Asakura leaves

Editor | He Runxuan

Probably the reason why Ang Lee said he was Xiaosheng was because Chen Guilin still showed some uninhibited youthful atmosphere at the beginning of the film, as if there was a shadow of the monk who amazed the world. But at that time, Ruan Jingtian did not know that the gift given by fate too early could only be close to him, even if it was another ten years, and it was difficult to repeat.

Many mainland audiences may be surprised by Ruan Jingtian’s acting skills in "The Three Evils of Zhou Chu", mainly because most mainland audiences still know him as Ji Cunxi of "Destined I Love You" – a classic tyrant who stands at the peak of Taiwan puppet history. But Ruan Jingtian’s comfort zone has always been a "punk" like a monk and Chen Guilin. For him, who is not an acting professional, this is almost his true character, so he can contribute such a moving texture.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

Returning to the comfort zone is not only a "40-year-old", but also a rare luxury. Although Ruan Jingtian’s acting career has been luckier than most people, he has also faced confusion and bottlenecks during the bubble period of the film and television industry. However, the bottleneck did not eventually compress him to the status of a bad drama professional or a live streaming host, but allowed him to be recognized again and become a teenager again.

"Everyone likes Ji Cunxi, but I don’t."

Ruan Jingtian’s starting point is much higher than others.

The first time was to accompany a friend to interview for a model, but his friend didn’t want to do it anymore, but he was taken by the modeling company. He even reached the level of a professional reserve team when he practiced swimming from a young age, which also developed his long and shoulder-wide model figure. His first appearance after his debut was as the male lead of Penny Dai’s MV. In Hunan Satellite TV’s "Behind the Story" program, he mentioned that he had never learned to act at that time, and was commanded by the director like a marionette on the set. "Xiao Tian, look to the right, look up, look at the camera… This is how I played my first MV."

After that, he took on a large number of MVs of diva-level singers, such as Sun Yanzi, Wang Fei, Zhang Huimei, etc. Zheng Yuanchang, He Junxiang and he from the same company were called "Kaiwo Three Musketeers", and they often bound variety shows in this capacity. Kaiwo is also a leading modeling agency in Taiwan. Lin Zhiling is the senior sister of "Three Musketeers", and Xu Weining, who later ran a long-distance relationship with Ruan Jingtian for seven years, is also an artist of the company.

Two years later, Ethan Ethan made his film and television debut in "Michael’s Dance," in which he played a gloomy dance genius. It was also in this work that he was first noticed by the later "Bole" Niu Chengze.

A year later, Ruan Jingtian starred in the infatuated second man of "Green Light Forest", which is a typical person setting the ceiling. The performance of the show was supposed to take his acting career to the sky, but he was frozen by the agency for his affair with the 17-year-old heroine Liu Pinyan. After that, he could only play supporting roles and cameos for many years. Ruan Jingtian ushered in his first disappointment. At the same time, Zheng Yuanchang and He Junxiang have successfully soared with "Mischief Kiss" and "The Devil Is Around". Only he has been unable to survive.

"Green Forest" stills

Before encountering the project "I’m Destined to Love You", Ethan Ruan was ready to quit the acting industry. The original proposed lead actor Ming Dao refused, and the director Chen Mingzhang tried his best to persuade Ethan Ruan to play. He reluctantly accepted because he thought he had never played a male lead.

Ji Cunxi was not a typical "man setting a ceiling". He was always hesitant between his ex-girlfriend and his current girlfriend, and he was always beaten up for being too scum in the play, and was once evaluated as "the most miserable tyrant". This is also the reason why no one liked the project before it was broadcast.

Who knew that once the broadcast was a mess, the average audience rating of a single episode was 10.91, and the highest segment audience rating was 13.64, which became the first audience rating in the history of Taiwan puppet in one fell swoop, and no one has surpassed it so far. Ruan Jingtian and Chen Qiaoen, who were both at a low point at that time, would cry every time they released the ratings data, for the disappointment of those years.

"Destined to Love You" stills

After "Boss Ba", Ruan Jingtian went all the way. The next year, he starred in "The Lost Dog Queen", and with Yang Jinhua, he performed the "sister-brother love" that was very advanced at the time. Rather than being an idol drama, "The Lost Dog Queen" is actually closer to a female growth drama, and his role as Lucas is the healing and redemption of the elderly female protagonist.

The transformation was like a whirlwind, and in another year, Ruan Jingtian produced the movie "Menga" that won the best actor. Director Niu Chengze developed him who can act in movies. Completely different from the idol drama, he did not have to wear fancy clothes and read exaggerated lines to interpret the "Boss Ba" who was far away from him, but only needed to play the street "little gangster" by instinct.

The year he won the Golden Horse Best Actor, Ruan Jingtian was only 28 years old, and the "praise" and "call" came to him prematurely at the same time, making him feel like a downhill road wherever he went.

In 2013, during the 50th anniversary of the Golden Horse, Ruan Jingtian was absent for no reason. Although he later responded that he was rushing back to shoot "Military Paradise" because the itinerary was not clear, this statement was not accepted by the circle. Later recalling that period, Ruan Jingtian said in an interview, "I was very resistant for a while, and I tried a lot of roles during that time… But the audience seemed to only remember Ji Cunxi, and my performance perception was still stuck at the age of 25."

Although there have been many twists and turns, Ruan Jingtian’s noble luck has always been good. When he first joined the modeling agency, he was introduced to resources by an agent 12 years older, and the MV contract was only softened. Later, thanks to the appreciation of Chen Yushan, the co-producer of "Destined I Love You" and "The Queen of Lost Dogs", he established a foothold in the field of idol drama. The producer of "Mengka" and "The Three Evils in Zhou" is also the same person – Luo Dayou’s ex-wife Li Lie – who was once regarded by Ruan Jingtian as a mentor.

Li Lie later responded to the media that because of the absence of the photo of the golden horse, she had not contacted Ruan Jingtian for ten years, and only broke the ice during the casting of "Removal of the Three Evils in the Week". To some extent, this may also have led him to go to the mainland after the Jinma incident, and the movies, dramas and variety shows he has taken on have not been able to produce a single work. At the nomination of "Removal of the Three Evils in the Week" last year, Ruan Jingtian told the media, "Thank you, Sister Lie, for taking me home."

In fact, Taiwan’s domestic films have had a difficult time these years, and the situation is very similar to that of the Hong Kong market. Imported films occupy an absolute high box office. In the top 10 box office of the Taiwan film market in 2023, there is only one local film, "About Me and the Ghost Becoming Family". Of the top ten domestic films at the box office, 6 are comedies and 3 are ghost films, and the situation of single genre is also very serious. Although there is still a guarantee of artistic status, the Golden Horse award-winning film is also difficult to compete at the box office. "Three Harmies in the Week" is only NT $46.91 million (equivalent to about 10 million RMB) in Taiwan. The shrinking of the local market makes Taiwanese films doomed to be unable to invest high costs, and comedies, ghost films, crime films and other genres are precisely the most suitable for low-cost creations.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

The epidemic was no doubt an important factor in Mr. Ruan’s return to Taiwan, and he mentioned in the interview that he had taken more time to spend with his family and reorganized his life because many of his jobs had been suspended. In addition to "Zhou Chu," Mr. Ruan starred in "Hunted," a film produced by Zhang Junjun, which landed in mainland theaters late last year.

To a certain extent, the re-entry into the low-budget crime films is also a replica of the self in the "Monga" period. Only after the re-production of convincing works did Ruan Jingtian have the confidence to reveal his heart to the outside world. In the idol drama, it is not his true self. "I say in good conscience that many people like the character of" Fated to Love You ", but I don’t like it that much. I am not that kind of person."

A gangster, but not a hopelessly illiterate

"Little thugs" like monks and Chen Guilin are really Ethan’s comfort zone. This is not entirely an afterthought based on high-profile works, but because such characters are closest to his true self.

Before he was picked up by the modeling agency, Ethan went through a rather rebellious adolescence. He studied in high school for five years, transferred five times, was persuaded to quit school because of constant fights and absenteeism, and finally attended a night school before barely graduating. But his physical fitness is quite good. His family originally wanted him to become a pilot, and he had passed the exam, but in the end he sneaked back to Taipei to break into the entertainment industry.

For those who have not received any acting training, real-life experience is the most important reference for him to perform. And Ruan Jingtian is a pure experientialist. The heart-wrenching crying scene of a friend dying in his arms in "Mengka" is the most colorful part of the entire film. After the scene was filmed, Ruan Jingtian was still immersed in emotions and could not stop crying. The director came to hug him but was pushed away. He asked the director, "Just for a scene to open my wounds, does it have to be so painful to be an actor?"

"Mengka"

Including later going to shoot "Military Paradise", playing a recruit in the movie, and also won the nomination for Best Actor at the Asian Film Awards. At that time, he had just finished his military service, and the recruit was himself.

Although his education level is not high, he is different from the "desperate illiterate" who have been soaked in art examination institutions since childhood, and he has not shown any shyness in all situations where words are required. For example, in the interview, he used the blackboard and eraser to compare the divide between reality and performance. "There is a dividing line between the requirements of the script and his real experience. When the performance starts, you can wipe it off with the board as much as possible, but no matter how hard you wipe it, there will still be a little bit, a little visible but invisible line."

"It’s actually not the so-called feelings and ambiguity," he said of the relationship between Cheng Xiaomei and Chen Guilin. "It’s not that simple. It should be said that at the moment of their lives, the two people who were originally parallel have intertwined, but each other has more important things to complete. Cheng Xiaomei to Chen Guilin, maybe when a person is quiet at night, he will recall that this is one of the few romances in his limited life."

Compared with some artists who replied "I don’t think your question is meaningful", it has to be said that there is also a gap between illiteracy.

Even after becoming famous, his life is extremely normal, which may be an important reason why he can continue to enrich himself from real life and supply it to the performance, and it is also the biggest difference between him and the "208s". He mentioned in an interview with the Beijing News, "My circle of friends includes vegetable farmers, pork sellers, people who have to get up at two in the morning to work night shifts, and very ordinary workers. This is my truest circle of friends. Everyone thinks that artists are very mysterious, and that mystery is just self-restraint, trapping myself in a cage. I just live as an ordinary person, and I happen to work as an actor, and I happen to have the opportunity to act out what I see and hear – I am not a star, just a normal ordinary person."

Using Ning Hao’s metaphor in "Mr. Red Carpet", Ruan Jingtian is not the kind of traditional Chinese medicine bag soaked in warm water that does not eat human fireworks. Neiyu is still building a false "Boss Tyrant" in the world of idol dramas one after another, eating leftovers from Taiwan puppets. And the group of people who first interpreted "Boss Tyrant" have come out of the false mold.

"Removal of the Three Evils"

To a certain extent, the Taiwanese actors in the front line are all people like Ruan Jingtian, who can see the breath of living people, and the life behind them has never been a black box.

At the shortlisted luncheon, the five handsome men did not regard themselves as stars at all when facing the media, but revealed the details of their lives very casually. Ethan Ethan praised the muscles of Xu Guanghan and Lin Baihong, and Wu Dianren would not avoid his girlfriend Shao Yuwei when he met his birthday. He even said that "it is more convenient to rent a house in Hong Kong" when participating in the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards.

"I want to finish tonight and then go back to my mother tomorrow and go back to my normal daily life," Mr. Ruan said in a group interview with the media after the awards ceremony. "I want to remember this moment, my current mood, which day in the performance, you will see."

"Three Evils in a Week" is not a perfect movie, but the kind of Taiwanese actor that Ethan represents is a good entertainment footnote. Artists in mainland China never seem to understand what it means to be a living person, either completely emasculating their true character and turning it into a puppet in front of the stage, or interacting with their faces in the live stream. Living person means that the audience can see his small world and his origin from the actor’s body, but they don’t have to know everything.

Guo Fucheng opposed the deletion of emotional dramas and blew up "Don’t Hao Lei" crying for eight hours

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!"

Chen Edison’s comeback, who is stalling for time?

 On March 17, 2010, at 9 p.m., the launch of Levi’s Jeans at the Taipei Creative Factory was crowded with people. Although the opening guest Jolin Tsai kept the spotlight on, the male model who appeared in the finale was the focus of the whole scene. His name was Edison Chen. Then came the bigger news: the hipster who left the entertainment industry two years ago for "pornographic photos" officially announced his comeback. Despite the nervous performance of the day, a few days later’s blog revealed his flamboyant personality more realistically: "I want to take my world back!"

 Since the beginning of this year, Edison Chen has been interviewed by mainland magazines one after another, and his self-created brand stores have also expanded fiercely. Edison Chen is really ready, but the key ****** the public ready too? The reporter interviewed Edison Chen’s partners, media people who interviewed him, and brand representatives who endorsed him to sort out Edison Chen’s experience in the past two years and take the pulse for his comeback plan.

 Indefinite = 2 years and 1 month

 I will retire from the Hong Kong entertainment industry indefinitely. "- Hong Kong, February 21, 2008

 "It’s the best of times, the best of times, and I’m ready for my comeback." – March 22, 2010 Blog

 Edison Chan once sang in the 2007 song "It’s Me": "Edison has matured, um, more mature, more clear about the direction of my life, so many changes, but my personality has not changed, I am still the little *** who ran around Lan Kwai Fong seven years ago…" At that time, Edison Chan, who had been entangled in scandals such as picking up girls and having a bad temper, was indeed gradually maturing, but "pornographic photos" made him return to the "little ***" era overnight.

 "Indefinitely" is a slippery word, and now everyone knows that in Edison Chen’s dictionary, it means "two years and one month." On March 22, Edison Chen posted a photo of himself attending an endorsement event in Taiwan on his blog, showing his smile a little childish. Then there is the "return" rhetoric: "From now on, I want to take back my world! Yes, it is to take back, not to join!" Return, the first time Edison Chen mentioned the word after "pornographic photos", but it was not an impulse. His return to the entertainment industry has been under way since he testified in court in Vancouver in late February 2009.

 On May 13, 2009, the final trial of the "Porn Porn" case, the judge sentenced the defendant Shi Kejun to all three counts of "dishonest use of computers" and imprisoned him for 8 months and 15 days. Chen Edison was identified as the victim. Although this verdict caused controversy among netizens, and even Nicholas Tse "didn’t know what to say", it did legally relieve Chen Edison. In an interview with CNN in June 2009, Chen Edison first talked about the "Porn Porn" incident. He did not deny that he had made mistakes, but emphasized his identity as the victim and apologized to Cecilia Cheung and other female celebrities who were implicated. In the same interview, Chen Edison revealed his ambition to return to the entertainment industry by saying that the indefinite period "can be 5 minutes, or it can be 2000 years."

 According to media reports, Edison Chen’s boss, Lin Jianyue, has been "public relations" for Edison Chen’s comeback. In March this year, he responded to the media on when Edison Chen will return: "To be honest, everyone knows that he made mistakes, but the crime is not enough to die. If he is not dead and he is not sentenced to death, then why give up on him? If the law really sentenced him to death, then we will give up on him."

 Retire from the entertainment industry, not the fashion industry

 God is so kind to me, fortunately I still have my business, otherwise it would be difficult for me to come, I don’t know what will happen to me. "

 - Interviewed in November 2009

 After "quitting the entertainment industry," Edison Chen continued to operate in the public eye as a trendy store owner. As he later said in an interview with China Entrepreneur magazine, "business" became the biggest support point in his life.

 Edison Chan’s efforts to explore the fashion field originated from a "betrayal" experience in 2002. At that time, Edison Chen had just finished filming Chen Musheng’s film "Wish Tree", only to learn that the agency contract had been sold to Lin Jianyue’s Red House manager without his knowledge. Chen Edison began to feel insecure as an entertainer, and he hid in Tokyo, Japan for two months, where he and his friend Pan Shiheng from the United States "paid homage" to the Tokyo trend representative and fashion designer Hiroshi Fujiwara. With Fujiwara’s encouragement, on May 20, 2003, Chen and Pan opened the trend store Juice in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, and later created their own brand CLOT, and started their own trend brand business. Later, the Shanghai store ACU also opened.

 In April 2008, just after the "pornographic photo door" controversy passed, there were media reports that Edison Chen’s Shanghai trendy store was deserted, and the whole store was sold and no one cared. At that time, a regular customer said, "I can’t wear his clothes anymore, I will be laughed at by my friends." It turned out that the clearance was just a respite for Edison Chen before finding a new location.

 On December 5 last year, Edison Chen’s new Shanghai store Juice held an opening ceremony. Liu Weiqiang, Eason Chan’s wife Xu Haoying, Fujiwara Hao and others were present to congratulate. This was Edison Chen’s first public appearance in mainland China after "pornographic photos". Many die-hard fans also came to help out. Contrary to the depression before the store was closed, the entire road was surrounded that day, and the police had to come forward to maintain order.

 Recently, Edison Chen was photographed in Shanghai to check the performance of the new store and lead his employees to celebrate the success, and the second store in Shanghai is also planning to open in May this year. Previously, there were media reports that Edison Chen’s development in the fashion field is due to the large financial support of a "mainland female rich". In early December 2009, when Edison Chen was renovating the store, a mysterious woman was photographed by the media beside him. But the staff Rachel later said that the woman was just a good friend of Edison Chen, not a female rich man at all. But she confirmed the expansion plan of Edison Chen’s trendy brand: Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and other places are all under planning.

 Open your heart at the right time

 I know that many people know Edison Chen through reporters and the media. You can believe their nonsense, or you can make your own decisions with your own head. "

 - June 16, 2007 Blog

 Chen Edison’s comeback impulse is also reflected in his attitude towards Chinese-language media. When the JUICE trend store opened in Shanghai, Chen Edison publicly invited a number of fashion and entertainment media to interview. Although he didn’t talk much about entertainment, the reporters present felt that Chen Edison enjoyed talking to the media and answered questions incessantly. It seems that things are changing. In a long interview published in the February 2010 issue of the mainland magazine "GQ Zhizu", Chen Edison talked about his single-parent family and his childhood urge to enter the underworld.

 Xiaohong (a pseudonym), a staff member of GQ Zhizu magazine who contacted the interview, told this reporter that the interview was conducted in November last year. Through contact with her, she found that Edison Chen’s attitude towards the media is candid, detached, and his purpose is very clear. "If he needs your magazine and newspaper and wants to talk to you, he will open his heart." In her opinion, Edison Chen’s choice to give an interview in November must be related to the opening of a store in Shanghai in December, and his return to the entertainment industry is also to use his popularity to expand his business. "He did not hide such an attitude outside of the interview," Xiaohong said.

 The interview lasted four hours, and Edison Chen was very cooperative. When it came to his feelings for his father, his attitude towards girls and sensitive topics such as "pornographic photos", he asked to answer in English, because he was worried that his Mandarin could not be expressed correctly. Edison Chen admitted at the time that he had not yet decided whether to return to the front job of the entertainment industry, but that he would definitely be a producer. "I have decided to make three movies, one funny movie, one ghost movie, and one police and gangster movie."

 Edison Chan’s flamboyant personality is not only a must-have character for "hipsters", but also often leads to displeasure because he is too frank. For example, in an interview with the US media, he bluntly said that "he has forgiven himself", "indefinite is not forever", "pornographic photos are a gift from God", etc., all of which once aroused public disgust. According to media reports, Edison Chan is frank and true in the eyes of friends, and sometimes overly happy and angry. A Man, a Hong Kong reporter who has interviewed Edison Chan many times, also told this reporter that Edison Chan is the most authentic Hong Kong artist he has ever met. He has a clear love and hatred, and sometimes it is not easy to control himself.

MagicOS 7.0 Experience: A Sci-Fi All-Scene Smart Operating System

The new systems launched by major smartphone manufacturers in the past two years all have a common evolutionary direction, that is, to move towards the direction of end point interconnection. Whether it is Hongmeng OS or Apple’s ecosystem is no exception. However, due to cultural nuances, Apple’s ecosystem is not satisfactory in some places, and Hongmeng OS, due to some objective reasons, at the end point level, whether it is scale or function, some hands and feet cannot be let go. The glory of independence from Huawei has been committed to exploring a more user-friendly and convenient end point interconnection experience. The previous Magic system is still exploring more, and the latest MagicOS 7.0 has achieved good results in ecological integration.

So what are the surprises of MagicOS 7.0’s ecological integration? Here, let’s give you a detailed explanation through the two highlights of smart interconnection and smart services.

MagicRing Trust Ring brings multiple devices together

First of all, it needs to be noted that the intelligent interconnection power of MagicOS 7.0 is all based on a technology called Honor MagicRing Trust Ring. Based on this technology, different Honor devices can automatically discover and connect after turning on WIFI and Bluetooth. There is no need to "scan", "touch", "connect" and other actions. And the connected devices can realize the mutual call of software and hardware, making different devices like one.

As the name implies, the smart interconnection of MagicOS 7.0 is to realize the interconnection of mobile phones, PCs, tablets and other end points under the glory ecosystem. The external manifestation of this interconnection is that calls and notifications of Honor mobile phones, PCs and tablets can be shared.

This function requires entering Settings – Smart Internet Notification Sharing, making sure that the notification sharing switch is turned on, and turning on the application switch that needs to share notifications.

After turning on the sharing switch, when the Honor mobile phone receives a notification message, it can directly view and reply on the tablet and PC device currently in use. For example, we are using the PC for work, and the Honor mobile phone is put aside. When the mobile phone receives the message, the PC will also push the notification in real time. Click on the message, the PC will prompt us to enter the mobile phone password, and we can reply directly on the computer.

It is worth noting that the notification sharing of MagicOS 7.0 does not simply push notifications to all devices, but will be based on a cross-device AI decision engine that only alerts notification messages on the devices we use.

Similar to the notification message, when the Honor mobile phone calls, the Honor tablet and PC can also answer, and during the call, it can also be transferred to other connected devices to continue the call. For example, if we make a call on the way home, when we get home, just open the Honor smart screen and click the "Speaker" button on the phone’s call interface to select the connected device to continue the call.

In order to avoid user privacy leakage, MagicOS 7.0’s call sharing also supports a cross-device AI decision engine. Only incoming calls are displayed on the device the user is using, and all supported devices will not ring when an incoming call is made. For example, if you are using a computer when the call comes, the tablet will not vibrate together; if you use a tablet, the computer will not vibrate together. It can not only avoid user confusion, but also take into account information security.

Although Hongmeng and iOS ecology also support notification sharing, according to our tests, Hongmeng and iOS notification sharing cannot achieve refined strategies such as owner identification and device status recognition similar to MagicOS 7.0. For example, iOS ecology, smart phones make calls, then PCs, tablets, and watches will play ringtones immediately.

Earlier this year, Honor released the HONOR Connect full-scene connection protocol, which can use the tablet as an extended screen of the computer and share the keyboard and mouse across screens. MagicOS 7.0 takes it a step further, with another revolutionary "sharing" feature – keyboard and mouse sharing.

To enter the settings – smart interconnection – keyboard and mouse sharing for this function, turn on the keyboard and mouse sharing switch. And place the mobile phone and tablet on both sides of the computer to ensure that all devices are unlocked and on the screen.

After that, move the computer mouse to the edge of the PC screen and touch it twice. After the connection is successful, we can use the PC keyboard and mouse to control the PC, tablet and mobile phone at the same time. For example, if we want to look at the mobile phone when we are working, we need to put down the computer, pick up the mobile phone, and unlock it to see the relevant information.

On MagicOS 7.0, we can simply swipe the PC’s mouse across the edge of the screen to switch to the mobile phone with one click. On the mobile phone, we can directly click the button through the PC’s mouse and enter text through the PC’s keyboard, which is convenient and fast.

It is worth noting that MagicOS 7.0 also supports device orientation recognition, which can automatically determine the direction of mouse penetration. For example, if we place a mobile phone on the right side of the PC and a tablet on the left, and then we switch the two devices, MagicOS 7.0 will also automatically match the direction of the screen.

Interestingly, we also connected the keyboard and mouse to the smartphone first, and then tried to share the keyboard and mouse on the mobile phone with the PC and tablet, but the result was not possible. The keyboard and mouse can only be used on the mobile phone. From this point of view, the keyboard and mouse sharing of MagicOS 7.0 can only be done on the PC center, not in reverse.

In comparison, although there are also systems that support keyboard and mouse sharing on the market, these platforms, keys and mice that share PCs, need to manually click the switch settings before each use. In comparison, MagicOS 7.0 is undoubtedly more user-friendly. Because MagicOS 7.0 not only supports mobile phone, tablet, and PC multi-terminal sharing, but also supports self-discovery ad hoc network, device orientation recognition and other functions, it is more user-friendly.

In addition to controlling all end points in the ecosystem through a set of keys and mice, MagicOS 7.0’s end points also support application connection.

The specific operation is to enter Settings – Smart Internet – Application Connection and turn on the application connection switch. Then under My Devices, click the device connected to the machine to ensure that its application connection switch is turned on.

Take the continuous video clip as an example, edit the video in the OviC of the mobile phone, close to the tablet. The tablet will display the connection prompt on the multitasking interface or the Dock bar. Click the prompt, and the application will seamlessly flow to the tablet to continue editing.

This feature must have hit a lot of video blogger’s pain points. During a business trip, we may use our mobile phone to edit videos. After arriving at the hotel, we can directly transfer the edited videos to the tablet device through the MagicOS 7.0 application connection function.

In addition, the application connection function of MagicOS 7.0 does not support mobile end point and PC connection, only supports mobile phones and tablets to connect to each other. It is speculated that this is because Android and Windows have different ecosystems, so it is difficult to synchronize the application state.

It is understood that MagicOS 7.0 applications continue to support office notes, emails, WPS, as well as entertainment applications such as Youku, Douyu, Kugou, Ovicut, etc. Honor said that it will continue to expand in the future to adapt to more applications.

Magic Live makes services actively integrated

In the previous upgrades, smart services have been the focus of MagicOS ‘evolution. In addition to the self-organizing and self-connecting experience mentioned above, the Magic Live smart engine platform-level AI capability built into MagicOS 7.0 has also been upgraded, and YOYO recommends and MagicLive will continue to work in the disconnected state. Recommended services.

After actual experience, MagicOS 7.0 covers a wider area with more accurate accuracy. For users with relatively regular daily behavior habits, it can understand user needs in as little as three days, and recommend scenarios to support combinations.

For example, if we want to take the subway, the original single scene recognition will only push us a subway ride code. Now MagicOS 7.0 will give us a combined ride code + health treasure. In short, MagicOS 7.0 can automatically determine the scene we are in, determine which services we need, and then push the advance.

In addition to the smart scenes actively pushed by the system, the text smart recognition function of MagicOS 7.0 also supports just a click away of the scene. For example, if a friend sends us a screenshot of a scenic spot, then we just need to click the recognition button in the lower right corner of the album, and then click the recognized address to one-click jumping to the navigation app.

Although the current iOS and Hongmeng systems also support text recognition, these two systems can only recognize text and cannot be linked with other apps, which is not as practical as MagicOS 7.0.

30 apps, only kill two backstage

Since it is a new system, the basic fluency experience cannot be ignored. It is worth noting that this has always been the strength of MagicOS.

According to official data, Magic OS 7.0 has three Turbo X technologies: OS Turbo X, GPU Turbo X, and Link Turbo X. With the support of Turbo X and Magic live’s intelligent capabilities, Magic OS 7.0 can provide the most suitable smooth experience according to user habits, surrounding environment perception, and device status.

Magic OS 7.0 system virtual memory has been greatly increased to 7GB, plus 12GB of physical memory, the total number reaches 19GB. In this regard, we chose to find a 6.0 system glory phone with the same physical memory to test the background survival of Magic OS 7.0 system and 6.0 system.

The specific test steps are to use the Magic OS 7.0 system and the 6.0 system to download 30 Top applications in the built-in app store, open them all, wait for 5 minutes, and then check the background situation.

As a result, only two apps, Meituan and Autonavi, were reloaded in the Magic OS 7.0 system, and six apps were killed in the background in the 6.0 system. From this point of view, the virtual memory function of the Magic OS 7.0 system does perform well.

In addition, the scanning speed of the Magic OS 7.0 system has also been upgraded. The actual measurement is not only faster than 6.0, but also has a certain speed advantage compared to the Hongmeng flagship.

Summary: Magic OS 7.0 surprises

Overall, Magic OS 7.0 system has brought us a lot of surprises. Because it not only brings new changes in appearance, but also brings many new experiences in functionality.

For example, in response to users’ needs for multi-end point interconnection, Magic OS 7.0 system has added mouse sharing, notification sharing, application continuation and other functions. This fully shows that Honor has always built products from the perspective of consumers.

Therefore, if you want to have a mobile phone with high security, smooth and convenient operation, simple and creative page design, and smart functions, then you can focus on the Magic OS 7.0 system products launched by Honor.

In that environment, people may be more natural and primitive. What I want is the kind that dares to love and hate. "


A postdoc at Peking University who has been delivering food for half a year for research has published his paper, and the food delivery experience has become an example

  Recently, the issue of "Peking University postdoctoral fellows delivering food for half a year for research" has become a hot topic on the Internet.

  Chen Long, a doctoral postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Sociology of Peking University, experienced the labor process of a takeaway rider for 5 and a half months in 2018 in order to complete the fieldwork of his doctoral dissertation. Chen Long wrote in the media about his experience as a rider for nearly half a year.

  According to Chen Long’s self-report to the media, in 2018, in order to complete his doctoral dissertation, he joined a team of food delivery riders in Zhongguancun, Beijing, and spent five and a half months conducting fieldwork, delivering food every day, and experiencing the rider’s labor process. He was curious about how hundreds of thousands of riders could walk through the streets of various cities across the country, seemingly chaotic but orderly. The results of his dissertation will be published this year, and all his investigations have always revolved around a central proposition in sociology: How does capital control workers, and how do workers resist?

  A reporter from Surging News found through China National Knowledge Network on May 9 that Chen Long’s paper "Labor Order under" Digital Control "- Research on Labor Control of Takeaway Riders" was recently published in the journal "Sociological Research" No. 6, 2020. Chen Long said in the abstract part: "Following the idea of Marx’s technical control, this paper studies the labor process of takeaway riders from the perspective of organizational technology and science and technology."

  Drawing on his own experience, Chen points out: "On the one hand, through the redistribution of control by platform companies, the platform system and consumers have replaced the platform company in managing the riders. The platform company appears to have given up direct control over the riders, but in fact it has diluted the responsibility of the employer; labor conflicts have also been correspondingly transferred to the platform system and consumers. On the other hand," digital control "has been upgraded from physical machines and computer equipment to virtual software and data. The platform system makes labor order possible by subtly collecting and analyzing rider data and reacting the data results to the riders."

  "Digital control not only weakens riders’ willingness to resist and erodes their autonomy, but also allows them to unknowingly participate in the process of managing themselves," says Mr. Chen. "Digital control also shows that capital control is not only shifting from autocracy to hegemony, but also from physical to virtual."

  The surging news reporter noticed that Chen Long used his own experience in delivering food as an example in his paper to analyze the problems existing in the delivery platform system.

  For example, in the section "Rider Autonomy under’Digital Control ‘" of Chen Long’s paper, he quoted a conversation he had seen in his food delivery team’s WeChat chat group:

  screenshot of the paper

  Chen Long explained: The "report" in the mouth of the rider refers to the fact that the rider can extend the delivery time by "reporting" when the delivery work is delayed due to the slow delivery of food in the restaurant. "Pending order" is a strategy that the rider "invented" during the delivery process over the years to run more orders. In principle, the rider should go to the restaurant to pick up the food immediately after receiving the order. However, before the rider feeds back "confirmed pickup" to the platform system, if the platform system receives a new order with the same destination, it will send the new order to the same rider. Whether there will be such an order depends entirely on luck, so the rider tries his luck by "hanging order", that is, dragging the way of not giving feedback "confirmed pickup" to the platform system. " The "pending order" is actually a strategy to delay the delivery time in exchange for more orders. However, when the rider wants to "place an order" and does not want to delay the delivery time because of the "pending order", making up for the time loss caused by the "pending order" becomes the primary issue before the rider.

  He points out in the paper that the corresponding way to extend the delivery time is to "report", but the "report" needs to meet three prerequisites: first, the rider is near the restaurant; second, the rider has been at the store for more than 5 minutes; third, the restaurant has not eaten at the estimated time. For experienced riders, it is easy to meet the "report" prerequisites. First of all, the straight line distance between the place where the rider is waiting for the order and most restaurants is within 500 meters (the requirement of "near the restaurant" is that the straight line distance is within 500 meters); secondly, because it is within 500 meters, the rider can click "Confirm to arrive at the store" in the same place, so that the requirement of arriving at the store for more than 5 minutes can be met while "placing an order" in the same place; finally, in the midst of the busy situation, even if the restaurant has already served, the rider can still insist that the restaurant has not served within the estimated time or cannot find an order. In the end, the rider can extend the delivery time of the previous order by "reporting" the previous order, which means that it is assumed that the restaurant’s delivery is slow rather than his own "pending order" caused the delivery delay.

  At the end of the paper, Chen Long argues: Although the platform system is used to manage the data of riders objectively, there is a profit orientation behind it. No matter how much technology leaps forward, it still essentially serves capital. And blind admiration for technological myths often makes us relax our vigilance against behind-the-scenes operations. Therefore, we should see that the platform system is not an objective and neutral "manager", and there is a figure of capital manipulation behind "digital control". If it has become an open secret that the content of social media and shopping websites will be pushed according to the preferences and habits of your audience, then there is also reason to believe that Internet platform companies are using the data they collect to maximize their profits.

  Chen Long wrote: As people’s daily lives are surrounded by various Internet platforms, whether consumers or workers, to avoid eventually becoming "digital refugees" under the Internet platform, they must see the potential dark side of data, be vigilant against capital manipulation behind technology, and resist data infringement by platform companies through reflection, criticism and action.
