Chen Lizhi wrote: "For some people, the language is rotten to the core. For some people, the human heart is rotten to the core. Wrong use, wrong use, different order means the opposite. Teng Huatao did not shirk responsibility. The movie is good or bad, and life is worthy of respect."

Chen Lizhi’s interpretation of the content

In the content of the post, Chen Lizhi interpreted Teng Huatao’s sentence "I used Lu Han incorrectly, in a genre that is not suitable for him" and said: "The subject of this sentence is" I ", and the verb is" use ", which means that Teng Huatao is the active person, Lu Han is the passive person, because of a director, and his" wrong use "lies in a genre that is not suitable for Lu Han. This is his reflection as a director. If it is throwing the pot, this sentence should be" the failure of this movie, blame Lu Han ".

Chen Lizhi’s interpretation of the content

At the same time, in the content, Chen Lizhi not only interpreted the words of director Teng Huatao, but also accused most netizens of casually interpreting other people’s words without reading all the content of the interview. He said: "I don’t know how many people have carefully read the full text of this interview, and they are chasing the hot spots of public opinion and throwing the blame on director Teng Huatao. Lu Han’s words are on the line, many of which are big movie Vs and celebrities. In this interview, director Teng Huatao took the blame for Xuanfa, saying that he should not blame Xuanfa if the movie box office is not good. Director Teng Huatao also took the blame from the management, saying that the decision was made by himself, and the management cannot be blamed. He was not kidnapped by the management. Such an interview that was thoroughly self-reflective and took all the responsibility is now reviled by thousands of people. "

The upper waist line on the side of the body has been extending from the taillights, from deep to shallow, giving a neat feeling. The Cadillac XT5 tail is the consistent style of the Cadillac family. The flying wing tail light can widen the tail horizontally in the visual effect.

In terms of interior, the new car adopts a traditional pointer-type instrument panel and a four-spoke multi-function steering wheel, and the central control center is equipped with an embedded multimedia display screen, which shows a sense of technology as a whole.

accelerate brake fuel consumption second rice liter Rejuvenating overnight, testing the Buick Envision S two-wheel drive Review Editor – Li Qiaochen:

After the appearance of the Buick Envision S is completely younger, the whole car naturally becomes more lively. Compared with the current Envision, it is impossible to see any inheritance between the two. The interior’s driver-led style also shows that the designer of Buick is trying to create a mid-sized SUV model that is no longer old-fashioned. The dynamic performance is very surprising, and the chassis adjustment is somewhat sporty. The power reserve is sufficient, and the power output can always be more in your driving rhythm.

Review Editor -:

Buick has been getting younger in recent years, and this Envision S is no exception. A mid-size SUV can be so low that it even has the illusion of a station wagon, which is a change from the Envision’s mature and stable image. Although it is mainly a two-wheel drive model, the driving experience in the city has little impact. The brisk and even slightly sensitive throttle and solid chassis are sure to make drivers fall in love with this SUV.

Review Editor – Hong Bingqing:

From the exterior design, it can be seen that this is an "unconventional" SUV, and it is a farewell to everyone’s inherent Buick. The exterior decoration of this sports version is spot on, but it is not out of line. The interior is also not stuck to the old rules, playing a driver-centric design, which can be described as very bold. Since it is mainly a two-wheel drive model, the more sporty driving style of the Envision S becomes reasonable. It is a mid-size SUV, but it will not be boring to drive in the city.

BYD’s annual Wang fried in 2024, Z9GT & Tengshi Z9 opened pre-sale, the price range is 33.98-41 9,800, the new car will provide and pure electric version for users to choose. Among them, Tengshi Z9GT is a sedan in the form of hunting, which will be officially released in September and delivered immediately after listing. Tengshi Z9 is a sedan in the form of a sedan, which will be listed and delivered by the end of the year.

What is the Easy Tripartite Platform?

Tengshi Z9GT will be the world’s first Easy Tripartite Platform. Easy Tripartite is the master of BYD technology, fully integrating the advantages of top technologies such as fifth-generation DM technology and e-platform 3.0 Evo. The platform has four core technologies, namely three-motor independent drive technology, rear-wheel dual-motor independent steering technology, VMC vehicle motion control technology, and all CTB battery body integration technology.

At the application level, the Easy Three-way Platform can achieve 9 core functions, including extreme steering, compass U-turn, easy three-way parking, high-speed tire burst stability control, low-attachment road stabilization system, intelligent crab line, internal eight-brake stabilization, reversing stability, and radar active avoidance.

For example, the Z9GT’s 5.2-meter length may deter some drivers, who feel that it is inconvenient to travel through alleys with a large body size. But with the blessing of the Easy Three-Party Platform, the addition of dual-motor independent steering at the rear wheels can achieve two-way 20-degree steering, making the Z9GT’s minimum turning radius only 4.62 meters, which is similar to driving a small car to turn a corner.

In comparison, a Porsche with a similar body size will have a minimum turning radius that is a full meter longer than the Z9GT.

The compass turn-around is also a representative technology of the Tengshi Z9GT. Its principle is to combine braking, torque vector control and rear wheel steering to lock a single front wheel as a fulcrum, and apply torque in different directions to the rear wheel in the "outer eight" attitude, so that the vehicle rotates around the fulcrum wheel, realizing a custom direction and a compass turn around any front wheel at any angle of 0-360 °. In short, in the broken road or the environment where the space is too small to turn around, the compass turn-around is suitable for use, which is much more convenient than the driver’s hard work to reverse and exit.

In addition, with the technical support of the three parties, the Z9GT can also achieve the world’s first elk test result, reaching a data of 93.6 km/h. I will ask if you are exaggerating.

Some netizens may have no idea about the 93.6 km/h elk test result. Let me explain it to you this way. The better the result, the more proof it can help the vehicle perform extreme driving scenarios, that is, the higher the upper limit of the chassis, the more it can ensure the safety of the occupants.

In this extension, let me give another example. For example, in the event of a sudden high-speed road burst, the Z9GT can improve the stability of the vehicle during a flat tire from the three dimensions of cloud carriage, driving, and braking. Even in extreme scenarios such as slippery conditions, it can also ensure the stability of the vehicle’s driving and braking. And this speed limit can be 140km/h. What needs to be warmly reminded is that it is safe to drive and do not speed.

In addition, there is another usage scenario that I think is very suitable for novice drivers, and that is the smart parking of Easy Three. Its ability to integrate compass turn-around and smart parking, using image vision fusion and high-precision positioning control algorithms, can easily park in extreme side, extreme broken road and other scenarios, and the path planning and other algorithms are all self-developed by the full stack. It is said that the parking efficiency can be improved by 65%, which is very practical.

How is the performance?

The Z9GT will offer pure electric and plug-in versions, with three front and rear motors and electric four-wheel drive as standard. The version will consist of a 2.0T turbocharged engine and motor, with a total power of 640kW, a 100-kilometer acceleration time of 3.6 seconds, a maximum battery life of 1100km, and a fuel consumption of about 5L. You must know that this is a D-class luxury car with a length of about 5.2 meters. It is really not easy to achieve this result.

The total power of the motor of the pure electric model reached 710kW, which was 966 horsepower, which was close to 1,000 horsepower, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers was 3.4 seconds, which was very exaggerated. The battery was made of lithium iron phosphate, and the maximum cruising range reached 630km.

In terms of braking distance, the new car’s 100-kilometer braking distance can reach 32.6 meters, which should be said to be a very outstanding one among luxury D-class cars.

Where else is luxury reflected?

In terms of the chassis, the new car is equipped with a dual-cavity air suspension, which can adjust the softness and hardness of the suspension according to the needs of the car. Although I have not yet experienced the effect of the real car, I believe that the chassis texture must be not bad. In addition, I will also participate in the test drive of the Z9GT in early September, and then share with you the experience of its driving and chassis.

In terms of smart driving, the stacking material is also very exaggerated. I will list a few data for your reference: 2 lidars, 5 millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, 14 cameras, which can be said to be fully armed. It is also equipped with the function of BAS 3.0 +, which can realize high-speed navigation (no map in the country), automatic parking and AEB automatic emergency braking when it is listed; in addition, by the end of 2024, it can also realize city navigation (no map in the country) and valet parking.

In addition, the Tengshi Z9GT is also equipped with 2 car refrigerators. Equipping a car refrigerator is not a particularly new thing, but there are 2 refrigerators in the car, which is really rare. In my impression, only the Tengshi Z9 series has 2 refrigerators, other models should not have them, and netizens are welcome to correct and communicate. In addition, the refrigerator also uses the industry’s first air conditioner compressor direct cooling technology, which can significantly reduce the noise in the car. As for the actual performance, I will do a real test for you after I get the real car.

In fact, the car seats and interior materials are also a major highlight of it, and the space is limited. Next time, I will explain to you how luxurious its interior is.

conclusion

The Z9GT has 24 world-leading technologies, such as hybrid CTB integrated body technology, air-conditioning refrigerator shared compression technology, Divale 26 lifting speakers, etc.; there are 47 world-leading technologies, such as 15 ° crab angle, 100 kilometers braking 32.6 meters; in addition, there are 40 unique technologies of the same level, such as road preview, 10-screen interconnected smart cockpit, etc., so, do you still think that the starting price of 339,800 is expensive?

A group of fashion blockbusters shot by Angelababy, Deng Lun, and Zhu Yilong together with producer and chief producer Jia Yiqun has recently been exposed. The windows are bright and clean, and the letter paper shows the fragrant tea curling.

The relaxed and casual shooting environment at home made the three stars unload the fatigue of work and present the most natural and casual state. In the video exposed together that day, Angelababy, Deng Lun, and Zhu Yilong took the initiative to open up and chat about their roles. "The dream we have planted in our hearts for a long time is also an unpredictable loneliness. We are bruised all over for perfection." Cheng Zhenzhen, Shao Pengcheng, and Jing Ran have been searching for the most precious thing in their hearts. Like most young people today, the process of chasing dreams is always confused and painful, but as Angelababy said: "I still believe that the most beautiful thing is to meet by chance," which not only gives the best answer but also makes people look forward to what kind of situation the three will meet their "most precious".

"My True Friend"

Small people have big dreams too　　"My True Friend" depicts ordinary people’s vision of a better life　

"My True Friend" focuses on the real estate industry, and uses the perspective of ordinary people to delicately and realistically depict the baptism and embarrassment faced by real life practitioners in the real life. In order to demonstrate the excellence of the details of the play, the entire production team deliberately starts from the details and creates "down-to-earth" little characters. The real estate agents represented by Cheng Zhenzhen and Shao Pengcheng are the most ordinary people in the workplace and also have the most ordinary troubles. As a newcomer to the workplace, Cheng Zhenzhen was complained by customers because of his lack of experience and even caused losses to the company. Shao Pengcheng’s well-off family background doomed him to have no freedom since he was a child, and life can only be passively accepted. The internationally renowned designer Jing Ran is not as glamorous as it appears on the surface. The changes in his family have caused him to have a lonely and calm personality. Every star is a representative of thousands of young people working hard in Shanghai. They may be ordinary but have extraordinary dreams.

The dreams of "finding the right house for the client" and "improving the living environment for people" may seem ordinary, but they shine in the most ordinary positions, proving to the audience that "happiness comes from struggle". Success is not a step to the sky, and it is necessary to have the courage to stand up wherever you fall. These real workplace portraits are the epitome of thousands of strugglers today, and the audience is bound to draw courage and comfort from the bright, upward and warm characteristics of the series.

The TV series "My True Friend" is produced by Shaanxi Wentou Yida Film and Television Company.

Tan Kai, Li Xiaofeng, Li Xinyi, Yao Anlian and other old, middle-aged and young actors join in with all their strength. The creators go all out. The actors work hard and build this warm story related to the house and showing all kinds of society. The drama is currently in the tense post productin stage, so stay tuned.

1905 movie network news Directed by Lu Yang and produced by Ning Hao, the film will be released nationwide on August 11. Recently, a new trailer has been exposed, and the plot of the film has begun to emerge.

Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Xin Zhilei, Jin Shijie and many other powerful actors also appear in the acting skills. According to the audience who have seen the film first, the characters and stories in the finished film will be more complex and suspenseful.

The tension plot of "Embroidery Spring Knife · Shura Battlefield" has begun to emerge, Zhang Zhen and Yang Mi fall in love and kill each other

And the setting of Shen Lian, played by Zhang Zhen and the brocade-clothed guard, "love and enemy, love and kill each other" is also full of tension. The battlefield where people fall into the water and die in the film foreshadows the abuse index of this time. The fallen version of "One thought of Shura, training sincerity" is more problematic: love and hate, good and evil, war and love are only in one thought. All sentient beings experience the trials of this Shura field, and only then can they know that sincerity is a fetter and a way to live.

"Embroidery Spring Knife" series has become "ancient costume action movie training ground" and many powerful actors "Shura field" have good acting skills

　　[PConline trial experienceAs an editor of a technology media, I am exposed to the latest technology information every day and experience firsthand the most cutting-edge technology products. After evaluating countless notebooks, there are only a few notebooks that I can treat with such caution. Xiaomi notebook is one, not only because Xiaomi itself has such high attention, but also because every word I say may become the target of public criticism from rice fans.

　　Like everyone else, I am also very much looking forward to this product. After getting the real machine, I played with it carefully for a while. The first impression that Xiaomi notebooks give people is that they really look like MacBook Air. My colleague joked that Xiaomi can’t get rid of the suspicion of plagiarizing the appearance of MacBook Air no matter how much it shirks, and even my personal favorite LOGO design was complained that the best selling product on Taobao is Apple brand LOGO stickers. In fact, this kind of debate is unwinnable, simple, exquisite, and has a narrow border more than Apple. This is what Xiaomi has done very well. It can be seen that Xiaomi does not blindly learn from it, but has its own independent thinking.

Xiaomi Notebook Air is finally here, what does the official say? What is the reaction of rice noodles? What does Huawei think? When will LeTV send it?　

　　Every time Xiaomi launched a new product, everyone was most concerned about the price and configuration. When the price of the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 was announced, some people commented that the price/performance ratio of 4999 yuan was good, and the appearance and configuration were OK. Some people thought that with Xiaomi’s previous style, the price of this product could be lower, preferably from 1999.

●What did Xiaomi officials say?The Mi Notebook Air 13 is made of an all-metal body made of aluminum alloy, which is light and sturdy. Highly customized components make the main board more precise, full bonding technology makes the screen thinner, and high-density battery technology makes the battery undiminished and the battery size smaller. No logo design, users can give the notebook a unique personality according to their temperament, such as the artist series… This is really the original text on the official press release, you can taste it carefully.

●Rice noodles reflect:Good! Good! Good! Beautiful! Light enough! Thin enough! The frame is narrow enough! New domestic product! Rebs is domineering! Buy buy buy!!!

●What does Huawei think?Humph! We have telecom skills, and then rely on the global retail network established by traditional integration and mobile phones. We have successfully entered the field of two-in-one multi-mode. Brother Lei, you are slow! We have already attracted countless fans first~

●When will LeTV release:Wait a minute, don’t worry! We just married Vizio home, and we have a notebook product line. Brother Lei, you go first, I’ll keep up at the end of the year~ I’ll send two at once! Package you like~

　　With a little ridicule, I analyzed the reaction of different aspects to Xiaomi Notebook, but also objectively explained a fact: Xiaomi Notebook, everyone is really concerned. Although it is not the thinnest 13.3-inch notebook on the market, the thickness of the 14.8 mm body is impressive when shot; although the weight of the 1.28kg body is not extremely light, don’t forget that it has a built-in independent graphics card, which makes it a light and thin book with game attributes! How is the experience? Look down.

As a thin and light book with game attributes, is the Xiaomi Notebook Air comfortable to use?

● Screen section

　　Let’s take a look at the screen first. Whether a product can catch consumers’ attention in the first place, the screen is a very crucial part. For the screen of the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13, we forgot a series of parameters at the press conference. In terms of appearance alone, the picture displayed by the 1080P is delicate enough, and the color of the screen is also very rich, which is very pleasing to the eye. For the office, I really can’t find any fault with such a screen. The problem is that it also has game properties, so is it really okay to play games with it? In this regard, the editor also personally tested the current most popular online game with the largest number of players: League of Legends!

　　After playing a few games, I want to say that there is no problem with the screen, and the fluency of the whole game is also good. What restricts the game experience is the size of the entire body. To be honest, playing games with a 13.3-inch notebook, the screen is still too small. The first experience will not be able to fully integrate into the game world, let alone the immersive game experience. However, I believe that with the increase in the number of games, players’ "adaptation" will improve this situation to a certain extent. However, I still want to say that playing games on a large screen is more exciting. Heavy gamers need to carefully consider playing games on a small notebook.

● Keyboard part

　　The keyboard of this machine is the same as the design style of the whole machine, taking a minimalist route, the layout of the keys is relatively conservative, all the ones that should be reserved are reserved, and the ones that should be omitted are not added. At this moment, every sentence I type is completed on this keyboard. Although it is only level 1 backlit, it can fully meet the needs of night office, and the backlighting effect is really good-looking. For daily office work, such a keyboard is sufficient, but the 1.3mm key path is slightly shorter. As for games, there is neither cool lighting effect nor "game elements" like WASD. In short, it is not a keyboard specially prepared for games.

● Heat dissipation

　　I think that people who really have the desire to buy it must want to know the heat dissipation of the whole machine, so now let’s talk about the heat dissipation of the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13.The editor tested two sets of heat dissipation data through the infrared heat sensor, one is the heat generation during daily light office hours, and the other is the heat generation after playing two rounds of LOLThe heat map of the actual heat dissipation is pasted below, and you can feel it according to the temperature value on the map

　　The Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 is really a very good office notebook. I code + listen to music + PS for two hours throughout the process. For this light-level application, the change in the temperature of the fuselage can only be described as negligible. The design of single copper tube + dual fan also plays a certain role in the game, but the light and thin fuselage is not conducive to heat dissipation, so the heat dissipation is still not limited. Playing games will feel a significant increase in heat, which is also expected. Your mileage may vary. For the author, such a temperature is acceptable.

Game cooling

As a thin and light game book, does its hardware performance meet the most basic game requirements?

　　At the launch of Xiaomi Notebook, Lei Jun showed everyone the top ten notebook products on JD.com, including half of the thin and light notebooks and the performance notebooks, which is also the reason why Xiaomi chose to make the performance notebooks in the thin and light notebooks. In addition, another PPT shows that all the 13-inch notebooks currently ranked in the top ten on JD.com use integrated graphics cards. Compared with these products, the advantages of Xiaomi Notebook Air 13’s independent graphics card are immediately highlighted.

　　For this product that combines both thinness and performance, I am also particularly curious about its performance. In this regard, we also conducted several tests specifically for the performance of this machine. The Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 scored 2550 points in the 3Dmark 11 (P) graphics card performance test. Such scores are the leading online games on the market. League of Legends, Crossfire, Dota 2, etc. can ensure smooth operation. In the solid-state drive test of AS SSD Benchmark, the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 easily ran out of 1605 points, which is a very good result.

● Product configuration and score data table

　　I adjusted the game image quality to the highest level, the resolution was adjusted to 1920 × 1080, and the vertical synchronization function was turned off. I took a photo and saw that the game frame number was 61 frames. In fact, gamers know that as long as the game screen is locked at more than 30 frames, the overall fluency of the game can be guaranteed. It can be said that there is no problem with playing League of Legends with Xiaomi Air 13, which is not very demanding for configuration.

　　So what about using the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 to play some stand-alone games with higher configuration requirements? In addition to League of Legends, the editor also experienced this Street Fighter 5. When the game image quality is raised, the game runs smoothly. When adjusted to medium image quality, although part of the image quality is sacrificed, the overall fluency has been improved. After all, the independent graphics card equipped with the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 is NVIDIA GeForce 940MX, and the positioning is not top, so this situation is also expected.

Xiaomi Notebook Air also has the following small selling points, everything you want to know is listed

● Built-in Xiaomi synchronization application

　　In the technology industry we are in, the most noble quality should be adventure, conquest, expand the territory, and make a success. Today, Xiaomi is no longer the Xiaomi that shouted "born for a fever". In recent years, it has been expanding its business and gradually moving into unknown territory. From the original Xiaomi bracelet, Xiaomi router, Xiaomi power bank, to now Xiaomi drone, Xiaomi balance car, Xiaomi notebook, Xiaomi is maintaining its own rhythm and growing. We also clearly see the blueprint of Xiaomi’s ecological chain built by Xiaomi to the world. As the most critical notebook in the ecological chain, in addition to the functions that notebooks should have, what other attempts has Xiaomi made?

　　The first step is to integrate your own fan base, of course. The author noticed that Xiaomi has built its own Xiaomi synchronization tool into the system. Now it has three functions, namely "Xiaomi mobile phone", "Xiaomi community" and "Xiaomi official website". I believe that in the future, this seemingly simple built-in program will definitely introduce more perfect and attractive built-in services in the future. It is even possible to connect all Xiaomi products you have together to make it have enough fan stickiness, and then further expand your fan base and gradually establish your own "Xiaomi empire". It is really scary to think carefully.

● Mi Band

　　The second generation of Xiaomi bracelet is one of the examples, Lei Jun said at the press conference that Xiaomi bracelet supports unlocking notebooks, which is the same principle as Xiaomi bracelet unlocking Xiaomi mobile phones. In the future, Xiaomi bracelet will become a tool to collect health indexes such as your heartbeat, and mobile phones and notebooks are the end point for synchronizing these data. Therefore, since there are Xiaomi mobile phones and notebooks, will you miss the bracelet?

● Support users to add M.2 solid state drive

　　However, when it comes to the product itself, the Mi Note Air 13 has really brought a very "landing" innovation to consumers, that is, it supports users to manually add an M.2 SSD SSD by themselves, and also provides warranty in the event of an accident. Looking around the entire PC market, the common practice is to divide its products into several levels, often the same configuration of the same product, just because the size of the solid state drive is different, the price is much higher. This approach of Xiaomi Notebook really puts a lot of pressure on the same level of products.

● Accessory docking station

　　In addition to the original interface of the fuselage, Xiaomi also prepared a very delicate docking station, which is officially priced at 149 yuan. This docking station has been certified by Apple and can be bought and used on Apple Macbooks, which is much cheaper than Apple’s own more than 500 docking stations.

● PCMark 8 (Home-OpenCL) battery life test

　　In addition to the performance and heat dissipation of the whole machine, I think what everyone is most concerned about is its battery life. For this reason, we conducted a PCMark 8 battery life test on it, and the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 ran a good result of 4 hours and 7 minutes. It should be noted that the PCMark 8 battery life test is only the result of simulating user habits. Usually, the battery life of users is much higher than the results we tested. After comparison, you will find that in fact, the battery life of the Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 ranks very high in the database.

●Some of my observations

　　The Xiaomi Notebook Air 13 is indeed a sincere product. I have seen solid materials and workmanship on its body, extremely narrow bezels, thin and light body, as well as independent graphics cards and support for DIY solid state drives, etc., which shows how much effort Xiaomi has put into this product. It is really not easy to achieve this level when launching a notebook product for the first time. But if you want to kill two birds with one stone in experience, it is obviously not realistic to be small, thin and portable, and to ensure an immersive gaming experience. This is not Xiaomi’s problem, but a problem faced by all manufacturers. After some experience, I obediently used the desktop to play games again. Don’t think it can’t play games. Games can be played, but you must choose to play them.

　　For domestic manufacturers, the PC field is not a sunset, but a feast of gluttony, but in the end, only a limited number of oligarchs can sit down and share the delicious food. After Huawei has ventured into the PC field, Xiaomi finally can’t sit still. The two notebooks launched by Xiaomi this time are just the first shots of Xiaomi entering the PC field. Xiaomi is likely to follow up with Xiaomi game book, Xiaomi two-in-one, Xiaomi flip book, etc.

Article | Newly Excerpted Business Review, One White

This year, Xiaodu’s path forward seems to be "overshadowed".

At the end of March, Xiaodu launched a promotion campaign for the digital collection of Genesis, promising to promote 500 people to consumers and airdrop the Palace Museum’s digital collection "Listening to the Qin" for free. Some people successfully promoted more than 500 people, but Xiaodu did not fulfill the promise afterwards. Instead, it replaced it with other low-value digital collections, and was complained by users for suspected false propaganda.

In July, a woman found multiple private videos of guests staying in a small speaker in a bed and breakfast room, which was questioned as an infringement of user privacy.

After four months, Xiaodu was fined 250,000 yuan for propaganda in the name of MIIT, which once again made headlines.

Xiaodu, which Li Yanhong calls "a revolutionary new species of AI in the Chinese market", has been highly expected, and its AI voice assistant hidden behind the smart speaker carrier is Baidu’s shield for the next decade.

However, it has been two years since the spin-off of Xiaodu, and the news of independent listing has spread again and again, but no further action has been seen. Baidu’s subsidies to Xiaodu have not stopped, and the commercialization prospects are unknown.

In recent years, with the gradual enrichment of smart home product categories, the number of substitutes for smart home entrances is increasing, the status of smart speaker entrances has been shaken, and the beautiful idea of "hardware pasted upside down, ecological money" does not know when it will be realized.

The mobile ecosystem is facing huge challenges, and autonomous driving is still burning money. How long can Baidu give Xiaodu patience, and whether Xiaodu can support Baidu’s grand AI dream expectations, everything has to be questioned.

First, the AI story awakened by a "small degree"

"Xiaodu Xiaodu, play children’s songs."

This was the "killer sentence" of a treasure mother to awaken her baby’s rhythmic cells, and it also started Xiaodu’s busy day.

Xiaodu is the name of Baidu’s artificial intelligence assistant and the wake-up word of Xiaodu speakers.

In September 2015, Xiaodu came out as a secret and made many attempts around artificial intelligence voice technology. The most widely known ones are the voice operating system Xiaodu Assistant (Duer OS), and the Xiaodu Assistant as the core. Xiaodu smart speakers and other hardware products.

In March 2018, Baidu established the Smart Life Business Group (SLG), and at the same time released the first smart speaker with a screen – Xiaodu is at home, and Robin Li personally stands on the platform.

SLG is jointly composed of the former Baidu "Du Mi Business Department", Baidu "Hardware Ecological Channel Department" and the acquired "Raven Studio Studio", and is managed by Lu Qi. After Lu Qi left, Jing Kun became the general manager of SLG.

At that time, there was no screen speaker in the Chinese market, but foreign giants had tried the water (in 2017, Amazon released a smart speaker Echo Show SLG with a screen). The combination of "screen + speaker" led by Baidu in China has brought huge increments to Baidu and virtually changed the competition landscape of the domestic smart speaker market.

The major giants followed suit. Alibaba and Tencent launched Tmall Genie CC and Tencent Jingle one after another. JD.com also released JD.com Play…

2018 was a year of Xiaodu’s anger, and it was also a year in which Jing Kun frequently exported Xiaodu’s values.

Jing Kun once said that Baidu’s original intention of making Xiaodu was to let everyone have a smart assistant, but it has no form. In the early stage of development, it needs to be attached to the form of a certain product in order to make users feel that it is an "assistant".

"On the road of smart assistants, how to meet users’ expectations for this product at this stage is very critical, which will affect whether to abandon it later or use it all the time." The form of smart speakers does not have such high requirements for the entire smart assistant, and users’ expectations are relatively limited. The initial demand may be to play music or listen to the radio, which is more in line with the expectations of the "form".

2019 Q1 financial report released, Baidu suffered its first quarterly loss in 14 years, but Xiaodu’s performance was very impressive.

This year, Xiaodu smart speaker shipments in the Chinese market first, the number of smart devices equipped with Xiaodu assistant exceeded 275 million, up 279% month-on-month, and the monthly voice interaction reached 2.37 billion, up 817% month-on-month, becoming China’s largest and most active dialogue artificial intelligence platform.

In Q2 2019, Baidu’s smart speaker shipments increased by 37 times, surpassing Google to become the world’s second largest smart speaker supplier.

Thanks to Xiaodu’s outstanding performance, Jing Kun was also promoted to vice president of the group and reported directly to Li Yanhong. At the 2019 Baidu AI Developer Conference, the "young strong faction" management led by Wang Haifeng, Shen Shuo and Jing Kun came to the forefront.

Jing Kun’s promotion also represents Baidu’s expectations for Xiaodu, or rather, the expectations of the value of voice interaction represented by Xiaodu.

Baidu has always emphasized that it is not a hardware company, and the definition of Xiaodu smart speakers is not pure hardware, but growing AI software. Hardware is just a carrier of it.

Xiaodu is Baidu’s game of chess for the intelligent voice ecosystem. According to a previous survey by Bain, voice interaction will account for about 30% of human-machine interaction in the future, and the market prospect is broad. For Baidu, which has always wanted to build itself into a "Chinese AI business card", voice technology is the soul of smart speakers, and it is also a high ground that Baidu must snatch.

Over the years, Robin Li’s investment in the voice field has been firm. From the release of the first smart speaker with screen "Xiaodu at home" to the full-duplex wake-up-free Xiaodu Assistant 5.0 update, every time Xiaodu makes an appearance, Li Yanhong stands firmly in front of the stage.

The turning point occurred after SLG was spun off.

In September 2020, Baidu announced that its smart life business group business (referred to as "Xiaodu Technology") completed the signing of an independent financing agreement, led by Baidu Capital and CPE (CITIC Industrial Capital) strategy, IDG Capital joined the investment, post-money valuation 20 billion yuan. After the financing is completed, Baidu still has absolute control over Xiaodu Technology.

The official explanation is that independent financing has a positive role in promoting the development of Xiaodu Technology and its strategic coordination with Baidu. Independent financing may become a key step for Xiaodu Technology to start the domestic listing process.

A year later, in August 2021, Xiaodu Technology completed the B round of financing, with a post-money valuation of 33 billion yuan.

Nowadays, Xiaodu Assistant has been iterated to version 7.0 and is widely used in home, hotel real estate, car, portable and other multi-scene fields. In addition to smart speakers, the landing smart hardware products have also expanded to smart fitness mirrors, smart dictionary pens, smart headphones, smart camera TVs, etc.

Xiaodu Assistant, as Xiaodu’s core AI technology capability, is already the largest conversational AI operating system in China, but the fate of Jingkun and Xiaodu Technology is increasingly uncertain.

Second, Li Yanhong’s "good heart"

Looking back on the past, we will find that Li Yanhong once had a strong preference for Xiaodu.

The same is defined as the new entrance to smart home, Xiao Ai was only briefly mentioned by Lei Jun at the end of the tenth anniversary speech, and Tmall Genie rarely appeared at Alibaba’s group-level conferences. However, Xiaodu was able to stand at the C position at Baidu’s most important AI developer conference for many years.

In Li Yanhong’s opinion, Baidu’s core business search itself is a very typical AI problem, because the essence of search is to give answers to questions, and natural language processing technology in AI technology can help search more accurately.

In the era of AI-enabled search, search results are no longer sorted by the relevance of web pages, but are digested and processed based on the machine’s full understanding of the question.

From 1.0 to 7.0, Xiaodu Assistant has transformed into an "open API" that integrates Baidu AI voice technology and image technology, and can empower third parties. Robin Li regards it as the interaction hub, super entrance and operating system of the AI era.

Jing Kun once used "Xiaodu is the search and information flow of Baidu in the future, it is a natural search itself in the family" to illustrate the importance of Xiaodu to Baidu.

Xiaodu is also an entry point for Baidu to leverage smart life. Users’ demand for smart devices continues to diverge, and once the demand diverges, the application of technology will come out.

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. In recent years, the popularity of smart homes has been accelerating, and now smart homes will have built-in smart assistants to interact directly with users. The role of smart speakers as the central control of smart homes has begun to weaken, and Xiaodu’s status as the "interaction center" has also begun to shake.

At the same time as the product iteration, Xiaodu did not forget to start commercialization attempts. At the Xiaodu media communication meeting in early July 20, Jing Kun first mentioned the concept of "breaking the circle". The corresponding action is that Xiaodu connected to Kuaishou, Douyin, Bilibili, Youku and other content partners in one go in the first half of the year, and launched Xiaodu education smart screen, Xiaodu smart early education machine and other products for children.

After the double reduction, the commercial water test effect for C-end users is not good.

Xiaomi’s smart hardware ecosystem has been wildly sought after by capital, and Xiaodu also wants to follow suit, saying that it wants to create an open AIoT interactive ecosystem based on Xiaodu Assistant’s core technology, and form a set of "1 + X + Y" ecological development ideas, 1 refers to Xiaodu Assistant (Duer OS); X refers to interactive hardware, including Xiaodu’s own products and cooperative products; Y refers to ecological hardware, smart home and IoT products.

However, it turned out that the story of the AIoT interaction ecosystem was even more difficult to tell, regardless of the intense competition in AIoT. In addition to Baidu’s Xiaodu Assistant, players in the voice interaction system also included Amazon’s Alexa and Ali’s AliGenie. Huawei, a communications equipment manufacturer, was building the Hongmeng system, and Haier, a home appliance giant, had also launched its own smart home system, U-home, very early on…

Each family has an ambition to build an "ecology", and the so-called ecology is not "open". Everyone is developing their own "ecological standards". Openness is "internal", and barriers are always external.

The fragmentation of the ecological level has led to an increase in the interconnection barriers of end point devices between different brands, and the clustering of different camps has further intensified the "data islands" of each brand’s ecology. These are all insurmountable mountains in front of Xiaodu.

I still remember when "Xiaodu Home" with Xiaodu Assistant was launched, Robin Li said excitedly, "Xiaodu Home is a new product form spawned by AI, a revolutionary new species of AI in the Chinese market, and will also open up new application scenarios."

Nowadays, revolutionary application scenarios have not emerged, and the focus of Li Yanhong’s AI narrative has also been placed on digital humans and autonomous driving.

In July this year, the Baidu World Congress was held as scheduled, and the opening was no longer the familiar conversation between Robin Li and Xiaodu, but the digital human Xiaoxiao.

Baidu has confidence in AI, but it doesn’t have much patience for Xiaodu, who is already independent. One detail is that Jing Kun’s title has not changed except for the newly added CEO of Xiaodu Technology.

Lining or face

Xiaodu, once popular with Baidu and the market, has become much like a "battle with a scarecrow": it can defeat its opponent in theory, but it can only defeat its opponent in theory.

"Voice interaction is the mainstream, it’s not extra and add-on", different perspectives bring business changes, just like when touching the screen, many people think what is the purpose of adding a touch screen to the mobile phone, but Apple sees the value of the touch screen.

For Baidu, the value of voice interaction represented by Xiaodu is a very low-level value that can revolutionize many things, such as the interaction frequency between users and devices, the interaction time between users and a smart device, and even the content and information service ecosystem after the entire device.

This is a particularly low-level revolution, and it is an irreversible revolution in history, and it will only happen faster. This is why Baidu really values voice interaction, because this low-level revolution will upend so many things and is a huge opportunity.

In an interview in 2019, Jing Kun has always emphasized that the commercialization of Xiaodu is not the focus, the most important AI capabilities and user experience, hoping that the product can reach a larger scale, but "the current scale is not that large, so it needs a golden development period".

Jing Kun also mentioned more than once in public that Xiaodu’s business model does not make money on hardware, and truly attaches importance to content and service ecology, focusing on interaction, such as multi-mode interaction, remote interaction, including voice interaction self-learning system, etc., will also have a lot of technical investment in related aspects.

Three years had passed, and smart speakers had already passed the initial stage of user education. According to the official statement, Xiaodu was now the largest in the country, and the technology was constantly being updated. Commercialization should also make a big breakthrough, but from the actual results, Xiaodu commercialization seemed to be still in the "embryonic" stage.

The performance of the Xiaodu brand has been repeatedly mentioned in Baidu’s financial reports, but the specific revenue of Xiaodu has not been disclosed.

It seems that Xiaodu is more like the "face" that highlights Baidu’s AI technical strength, rather than the "lining" that supports Baidu’s performance growth curve.

No matter how beautiful the business story is, it is just a "mirage" that cannot run through the closed loop of business. The fact is that Xiaodu cannot make money by relying on hardware products, and it is more difficult to make money by building an ecosystem through AI voice interaction.

No capital can continue to pay for an idea that cannot see returns. If Xiaodu cannot go public independently and raise money in the future, it will only be a matter of time before Baidu completely abandons it.
