　　The newly launched Mazda CX-50 line also HEV has joined the hybrid system, providing a front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive version. Friends who love driving will surely care how much progress the Mazda with "electric" can make in terms of control? Mazda’s "Chuangchi Blue Sky" power has both historical heritage and housekeeping skills. For example, it can burn more efficiently, reduce energy consumption, and still does not need to install particle traps under the current strict emission standards. For example, it has intelligent cylinder-changing technology, which stops the outer two of the four cylinders at a constant speed. With EGR exhaust gas recirculation technology, it can improve the actual fuel consumption performance. The CX-50 line also HEV is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 131kW and a maximum torque of 221N · m. The total power of the four-wheel drive version motor is 128kW, and the total torque of the motor is 323N · m. Match the E-CVT stepless transmission.

　　The test drive activity of "Changan Mazda 2023 Super Driving Fun Academy" was held in a small closed venue on the outskirts of Beijing. The activity set up Jinkana, linear acceleration, pulley block and other projects for the Mazda CX-50 line also HEV, and the models used were all 2.5L four-wheel drive HEV version models.

　　In the linear acceleration area, the CX-50 line HEV equipped with front and rear dual motors does start more smoothly, and the vehicle immediately bounces out when one foot of the accelerator goes to the bottom. It can be clearly felt that the front and rear motors will intervene first, and then the engine will quickly cut into the power process, which makes people feel that the power response is almost without hesitation, and the subsequent output is very linear. Mazda has a Kick-Down Switch to enhance its sportiness. When the driver presses the accelerator pedal deeply to trigger the switch, the gearbox will force the shift, thus outputting a greater driving force. During the entire test of rapid acceleration and sudden braking, the body posture of the CX-50 line HEV was well controlled, and there was no serious head-up or nod phenomenon. During intense driving, its chassis suspension provides stable support. Mazda’s CX-50 line also uses a McPherson-style independent structure for the front suspension, and the rear suspension is a SEB butterfly-shaped bionic structure suspension. Although it is not an independent rear suspension, it is different from the traditional torsion beam suspension. This suspension has a certain torsional deformation ability and adopts a rough diameter design at the connection with the wheel. It makes the connection between the suspension and the wheel more rigid, effectively improving the traceability of the wheel, and the body responds faster and has a better sense of control.

　　In the Kinkana experience, the CX-50 line HEV equipped with front and rear dual motor e-AWD electronic four-wheel drive is also more sensitive to cornering and has better body stability. The organizers specially designed narrower continuous corners, and the CX-50 line HEV, as a compact SUV with a large size, can still swim freely. Moreover, its steering wheel has a clearer road feel and more accurate pointing. The 13.4:1 steering gear is faster and more flexible than the steering wheel, and it only takes about 1.2 turns to kill the direction. In the emergency lane change, the front of the CX-50 line HEV responds quickly. At the same time, good site support makes the body posture very stable, and there is no particularly large roll.

　　The Mazda CX-50 line also performs well in power and handling. As an SUV product that focuses on outdoor scenes, its stronger passing ability is also its competitive advantage. (Source: Changan Mazda)

　

　　Introduction:

　　The 8th "Annual Smart Car Selection" ushered in the explosive year of the application of new smart car technologies. Chinese local brands and new startups won a big victory in this selection. The Smart Car Network and the selection organizing committee said that in the high degree of involution, Chinese cars have basically completed the upgrade to electric and intelligent industries, and a new industrial cycle is coming. In a slightly pessimistic atmosphere about the future, the 27 awards of the 2024 Smart Car Selection not only showcase the new pattern of China’s automobile market, but also herald the beginning of an optimistic new decade for automobiles.

　　Text:

　　The second half of China’s smart electric car competition has begun, and smart driving is becoming the core capability of the new generation of car competition. On January 24, the "2024 Intelligent Car Selection" award ceremony initiated and hosted by Zhijia.com was held at the Beijing Ain Art Center. A total of 26 sub-awards such as model award, technology award, and brand award were presented. The final award – "2024 Intelligent Car of the Year" award was won by Wenjie M9.

　　The shortlisted models for this year’s selection include cars, SUVs, and MPVs in all fields, covering all market levels from household, sports, and high-end.

　　The Q & J M9 has been recognized by the judges for its interactive and efficient smart cockpit, safe and reliable handling performance, smooth and stable city, and high-speed pilot smart driving function. Huawei’s strategy of empowering the automotive industry with technology is producing positive results in the Chinese market and has attracted great attention from the industry.

　　01. Chinese local brands gain an overwhelming advantage

　　After eight years of development, the "Annual Intelligent Car Selection" has ushered in a full-scale explosion of intelligent driving technology this year.

　　This year’s "Annual Smart Car Selection" can be said to contain the highest amount of "electricity" and "smart driving". All the shortlisted models are equipped with L2 smart driving functions, and Chinese local brands have achieved an overwhelming advantage. In a total of 27 awards, only Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars, and FAW Toyota won three overseas brands.

　　In the sub-categories of technology and brand, all the awards were won by local Chinese companies. A more typical example is Geely Group, whose models of Galaxy, Krypton, Jitsu, Polaris, Volvo and Lotus have all won relevant awards, which has never happened in previous awards. This is in line with the strong rise of Chinese auto brands, firmly occupying 50% of the Chinese market.

　　In response to these new characteristics,The annual smart car selection achieved three breakthroughs in the setting of the awards:

　　First, break the boundaries between fuel vehicles and electric vehicles.

　　Second, breaking the boundaries between joint venture brands and independent brands.

　　III. Breaking the boundaries between luxury brands and ordinary brands …

　　All models are reviewed and evaluated by the jury and professional media under the same dimension and standard, and scored according to the three dimensions of the vehicle’s intelligent driving ability, human-vehicle interaction experience and car-making quality.

　　In terms of specific evaluation scenarios, the selection organizing committee selected 21 models from the nearly 90 models initially shortlisted for live evaluation on real city roads and professional venues, covering all high-end smart driving models currently on sale with city navigation functions.

　　Among the 21 models participating in the offline evaluation, 20 models have adaptive cruise function, of which 10 models have high-speed pilot function, 5 models have city pilot function, 14 models have automatic parking function, and 3 models have parking function. After the strategic cooperation between the Intelligent Driving Network and the National Intelligent Vehicle and Intelligent Transportation (Beijing-Hebei) Demonstration Zone Yizhuang Base last year, this year a more professional and scene-rich intelligent driving classification test was carried out. Real road assessments of cross-brand adaptive cruise, city NOA, and high-speed NOA were carried out from Beijing East Third Ring Road to Daxing Airport.

　　At the same time, the memory parking test was added to the automatic parking test. In addition, with the escalation of the AEB war of words, the annual smart car selection has specially resumed the AEB test. Among the 21 models, 8 models have practical AEB emergency braking avoidance function, but there were three collisions and one accident during the entire evaluation process. The AEB test is still the most dangerous test in the current smart car evaluation.

　　After a month of selection, "looking for emotional travel significant other" 2024 annual smart car selection committee issued all the awards in Beijing, a little regret is that the annual smart driving app and annual smart driving application two awards vacant, compared to previous years, these two awards shortlisted products lack exciting options.

　　In addition, as the most pioneering and cutting-edge awards in the annual smart car selection, technology and brand awards have also received extensive attention. The 2024 Smart Driving Technology was awarded to the Drive GPT of Mimo Zhixing, which is the first large model in the field of smart driving; and the Apollo City Driving Maxc of Baidu Apollo, which won the annual smart driving system, is providing a high-end and low-cost smart driving solution in the Chinese market with its BEV+Transformers+OCC pure visual route, which will greatly speed up the mass production of NOA in Chinese cities. Horizon, which was awarded the annual smart driving company, has long become a company that cannot be ignored in China’s smart driving industry chain.

　　These changes in China’s auto market and the emergence of new technologies and brands in the industrial chain have had a huge impact on the "annual smart car selection". The above 27 awards can be said to have left a historical manuscript for the intelligentization of China’s auto industry.

　　02. Smart driving has become the main option for new Chinese consumers to buy cars

　　At the award ceremony, An Qingheng, director of the China Automotive Industry Advisory Committee, said: "The advantages of Chinese brands are mainly focused on the field of electrification and intelligence. After the hard work and technical research of various enterprises, the level of intelligent driving in the automotive industry is getting higher and higher, and the transformation of functional cars to intelligent cars is accelerating. Now, the intelligent driving function has finally become a major consideration for the new generation of Chinese consumers to buy a car."

　　In 2023, China’s automobile market pattern changed greatly. The market penetration rate of new energy vehicles in December was close to 40%, and the average annual penetration rate exceeded 30%. The market share of China’s own brand passenger cars was firmly stable at more than 50%. Among all the models sold, new energy models reached 49.9%.

　　"I have witnessed the growth of the annual smart car for eight years. Eight years ago, the’smart car ‘was still a new introduction. In 2020, Jia from Zhijia.com proposed’Welcome to the smart car’. Now it seems commonplace, but at that time it still required courage and deep insight into the future. Today, the development of China’s automobile industry has verified this judgment." He stressed that the smart cockpit and smart car system have become a "business card" of Chinese brands.

　　Fu Yuwu, honorary chairperson of the China Society of Automotive Engineers, said: "As the third generation of Chinese automakers, An Lao and I did not expect that in the highly competitive year of 2023, China would rely on the export of nearly 5 million vehicles to achieve an unprecedented breakthrough in 30 million production and sales. We are very pleased that this achievement is realized on the 70th anniversary of China’s automobile industry." He said: "Minister Miao once put forward three criteria for becoming a world automobile power: there are the world’s top automobile groups in the world, there are widely used Chinese core technologies and products, and there are overseas markets with scale. Today, it is no longer a dream for China to become a world automobile power. At present, our country has formed a relatively complete technology chain of intelligent networked vehicles. Major breakthroughs have been made in the independent research and development of key technologies such as autonomous driving system integration, lidar, control decision-making algorithms, AI chips, intelligent cockpit, C-V2X, and north guide positioning. Our country’s intelligent networked vehicles have gradually formed a trend of running with the international in terms of technology research and development, product application, testing and demonstration, and industrial ecology. "

　　Yang Lin, vice-president of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade’s Automotive Industry Branch, said: "The annual smart car selection has entered the eighth edition. After years of accumulation and precipitation, it has become the mainstream selection for evaluating new cars. Intelligent networking and smart driving functions are no longer a plus for a car, but the mainstream configuration and core selling point to attract Chinese consumers. There is a popular judgment in the industry that the first half of the competition – electrification has ended, and the second half of intelligent competition has just begun. The annual smart car selection is the way to advance Chinese cars, leaving an annual record and historical manuscript. 90% of the awards awarded this time are given to local Chinese brands, which is a reward for Chinese automakers to focus on technological innovation."

　　But she also said: "A big test for Chinese brands in the future is how to transform themselves from a local company into a global car group. Chinese cars will inevitably encounter more and more complex challenges such as competitors, intellectual property rights, tariffs, market access, legal disputes, etc. At a time when Chinese cars are becoming stronger and stronger, we must have a more humble attitude, attract world capital with a more open market, and allow different market players to compete freely with more flexible policies."

　　At the award ceremony, Jia Hongbing, the producer of Zhijia.com, delivered a keynote speech titled "2024: The Bar Mitzvah of Chinese Cars and Smart Cars Driving into No Man’s Land". He said: "The Chinese market has become the birthplace of automobile innovation in the world. Smart cars are not a product of the market with Chinese characteristics. The development trend of smart cars promoted by Chinese consumers will become a common choice for consumers around the world. China is expected to complete the full electrification of the automobile industry before other countries in the world, and is expected to launch a global operating system for vehicles in a broad sense before other countries. It is expected to take the lead in the commercialization of driverless driving in major cities across the country."

　　"Although everyone in the car industry has been tired and anxious in the past year, Chinese cars have completed industrial upgrading in such a deep involution." He stressed: "Although 2024 is called the year of elimination, 2024 is the beginning of a new cycle, a new and optimistic car decade cycle is coming. All this is due to the historical opportunity for Chinese cars to switch tracks due to China’s super-sized car market. As long as this market exists, globalization will exist, and the world of freedom and prosperity will always exist."

This year, with the popularity of the movie "The Wandering Earth 2" and the TV series "Three-Body Problem", a science fiction craze has swept across the country. Looking up at night to see if the universe is "shining for you" has made many people interested in looking up at the starry sky. In fact, among the vast stars, there are many stars with names, and the person who first discovered this star has the right to name it. In space, there is a star called "China Star". Its discoverer is a Chinese named Zhang Yuzhe, who was also the first director of the Purple Mountain Observatory after the founding of New China.

In the middle of the night, the sky above the Xuyi Observatory of the Purple Mountain Observatory was full of stars, which was the prime time for NEO detection and solar system celestial body research teams to carry out observation activities. Above the main control room, the largest aperture NEO telescope in China was erected. Since the beginning of this year, the research team has used this "big eye" to discover five new asteroids and one comet, setting the best record in recent years.

There is a star in the sky called "China Star", its international number is 3789. From August 2022 to January 2023, the Purple Mountain Observatory observed this star 13 times.

This "China Star" actually has another name. Zhang Yuzhe, who was studying in the United States, discovered the asteroid in 1928 and named it "China Star". Behind the change from "China Star" to "China Star" is the tortuous experience of the development of modern Chinese astronomy.

In 1929, at the age of 27, Zhang Yuzhe completed his doctorate and returned to teach at the Department of Physics of Central University. At the same time, he was a special researcher at the Institute of Astronomy of the Academia Sinica. Since there were no large astronomical telescopes in China at that time to track and observe, the "China Star" numbered 1125 was "unknown" for a long time and lost its trace.

In 1934, the Purple Mountain Observatory that Zhang Yuzhe participated in the construction was finally completed. But not long after, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, and Zhang Yuzhe moved westward with the observatory to Kunming. No matter how difficult the wartime conditions were, he did not give up astronomical research.

Wang Kechao, director of science science at the Zijinshan Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced that on September 21, 1941, a total solar eclipse occurred in China. At that time, during the Anti-Japanese War, under extremely difficult conditions, Zhang Yuzhe led a team to overcome various difficulties, set off from Kunming, Yunnan, and traveled 3,000 kilometers to Lintao, Gansu Province. Scientific observation of the total solar eclipse was carried out, and a large number of precious total solar eclipse films were successfully filmed. This is the first total solar eclipse photo taken by Chinese people in their own country.

After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Yuzhe went to the United States again with the mission of learning the latest astronomical technology to prepare for the reconstruction of the Purple Mountain Observatory. After the training, Zhang Yuzhe refused the retention of some astronomical institutions in the United States and resolutely returned to the motherland. He was appointed as the first director of the Purple Mountain Observatory after the founding of New China, and for nearly 40 years after that, he founded and led the observation and research of planets, asteroids, comets and artificial satellites in our country.

"Zijinshan Observatory has a 60-centimeter-diameter reflecting telescope, which was the largest telescope in the Far East at the time. After Mr. Zhang returned to China, he personally restored the telescope. It was next to this telescope that he led the young team to spend sleepless nights here, discovering more than 100 new asteroids and three Zijinshan comets, all of which received international permanent numbering and naming rights," Wang Kechao said.

Zhang Yuzhe also participated in formulating the national science and technology development plan, presided over the drawing of the astronomy development blueprint in the 1960s, and made outstanding contributions to the aerospace and national defense undertakings of New China.

"Mr. Zhang Yuzhe is one of the founders of modern Chinese astronomy," said Zhao Haibin, chief researcher of the Near-Earth Object Exploration and Solar System Astronomy Research Group at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. "It was under the auspices of Mr. Zhang Yuzhe that he made a plan for how Chinese astronomy should develop. He presided over the design of the orbit determination plan of China’s first artificial satellite, which played a very important role in the launch and orbit determination of the National Dongfanghong Satellite."

Asteroid 1125, which had been "missing" before, was observed many times in 1975, 1981, and 1986. In 1988, the International Asteroid Nomenclature Committee decided to rename the asteroid 3789, officially naming it "China Star". From "China Star" to "China Star", Zhang Yuzhe’s lifelong love and dedication are like starlight, illuminating the future path of Chinese astronomy.

Zhao Haibin, principal researcher of the Near-Earth Object Exploration and Solar System Astronomy Research Group at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "What our team is doing now is actually in the same vein as what Mr. Zhang did. Now we have discovered about 4,000 new small solar system bodies. In terms of data volume, we belong to the first echelon in the world, including the accuracy of observation data. We have not lost face to Mr. Zhang."

Gong Yizhong, a retired employee of the Purple Mountain Observatory, recalled: "Mr. Zhang Yuzhe lived a simple life and had very low requirements for his own treatment. At that time, the state provided him with a special car, and he never took a ride, so he rode up the mountain with us in an open-top truck. He had very strict requirements for academic research, and absolutely did not allow false academic or false data. We staff have always kept it in our minds, until now."

After 70 years, the former German-made binoculars were replaced by the near-Earth object telescope independently developed by the Chinese.

Since 1956, the Purple Mountain Observatory has discovered nearly 5,000 asteroids.

In 2006, the Zijinshan Observatory Near-Earth Object Telescope and Xuyi Observatory were completed, and then seven field operational observatories were established in Qinghai, Antarctica and other places;

In 2015, Zijinshan Observatory led the development and operation of our country’s first astronomical science satellite – the "Wukong" dark matter particle detection satellite;

In 2022, our country’s first comprehensive solar exploration satellite "Kuafu-1", which Zijinshan Observatory participated in as the main unit, was successfully launched, opening a new era of comprehensive solar observation in China…

Following the path blazed by the old director Zhang Yuzhe, generations of Zitai astronomers have continued to explore the vast universe with tenacity and rigorous scientific attitude!

The original title: "The first Chinese person to discover a new asteroid and name it" Zhonghua "was only 26 years old at the time!"

On December 28, Xiaomi Group held a Xiaomi Automobile Technology Conference in Beijing, officially announcing the five core technologies of Xiaomi Automobile – electric drive, battery, large die casting, intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, starting from the bottom core technology and redefining the technology stack of the automotive industry.

The first work of Xiaomi Auto, the Xiaomi SU7, was also "pre-released", and details such as design, performance, battery life, and safety were publicly unveiled for the first time. It is positioned as a "C-class high-performance ecological technology car" to achieve the ultimate performance of high performance, ecological technology and intelligent space experience, and to create the first choice of the elite of the era and the top benchmark of technology and humanities.

"Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now we are moving forward from scratch." Lei Jun, founder, chairperson and CEO of Xiaomi Group, said that Xiaomi Auto is a major leap for Xiaomi Group from the mobile phone industry to the automotive industry, and it is also a key leap in the complete closed-loop of "people, cars and the whole ecosystem".

Lei Jun also said that the automobile industry has been more than 100 years, and there is no shortcut to the 100-year track. "Xiaomi decided to invest ten times, start from the bottom core technology, seriously build a good car, and through 15 to 20 years of efforts, become the world’s top five automakers, and strive for the full rise of China’s automobile industry!"

Key track in-depth self-research, a number of global technology firsts, redefining the automotive industry technology stack

The development trend of intelligent electric vehicles is the integration of the automobile industry with the consumer electronics industry and intelligent ecology, and the integration of full-stack technology in the automobile industry is the only way for the evolution of the automobile industry in the new century. Lei Jun said that by integrating industrial hard technology, intelligent soft technology, and AI, Xiaomi Automobile will comprehensively redefine the technology stack of the automobile industry, which will be a major leap in the field of automobile industry technology.

To this end, Xiaomi Automobile has insisted on starting from the bottom core technology from the beginning, insisting on positive research and development, and in-depth self-research on key tracks, "ten times investment, seriously build a good car". At present, Xiaomi Automobile’s first R & D investment exceeds 10 billion yuan, and the R & D team has more than 3,400 engineers, including thousands of top domestic and foreign technical experts in key fields.

The press conference officially disclosed the progress of the five core technologies of millet automobile breakthrough, in the key areas of electric drive, battery, large die casting, intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit and so on, millet self-developed technology implementation of many global first, China first, can be called millet 13 years of technology accumulation of the master show.

Among them, in the field of industrial hard technology, Xiaomi has shown strong self-developed and manufactured hard-core technology strength, and has the leading intelligent manufacturing strength of the complete automobile industry. For example, Xiaomi’s self-developed and produced super motor HyperEngine V8s, with a speed of 27200rpm, the world’s first mass-produced motor speed, refreshing the global motor speed ceiling, and the pre-researched next-generation Xiaomi super motor, innovative laser winding rotor technology, successfully broke through 35000rpm in the laboratory; Xiaomi self-developed CTB integrated battery technology, and the world’s first battery inversion technology, achieving the current CTB battery world’s highest 77.8% battery integration efficiency. In order to ensure battery performance and quality from the source, Xiaomi even built its own battery pack factory.

In addition, Xiaomi has self-developed the "9100t super large die-casting cluster" and the self-developed die-casting alloy material "Titan Alloy", becoming the only car manufacturer in the world and the only one in China to self-develop large die-casting and die-casting materials at the same time. At present, the industry is rolling up the clamping force tonnage of die-casting. Xiaomi firmly follows the road of full-stack self-research. From self-developed materials, equipment cluster systems, to finished castings, Xiaomi has completed full-stack self-research in almost all links in the large die-casting industry chain.

In the field of intelligent soft technology, Xiaomi has shown the unique advantages of "big technology factory, ecological car building", promoting the integration of the automotive industry with the consumer electronics industry and intelligent ecology. For example, based on Xiaomi Surging OS, Xiaomi’s smart cockpit has realized the bottom-level reconstruction, evolved for the car, and created an advanced intelligent mobile space; in the field of intelligent driving, Xiaomi’s industry premiere adaptive zoom BEV technology, road large model, super-resolution occupation network technology and other three key technologies, top configuration, full stack self-developed Xiaomi intelligent autonomous driving, will be among the first echelon of the industry in 2024.

In addition, AI fully empowers Xiaomi Automobile to integrate cutting-edge technologies and achieve a new highlight of hard core innovation breakthroughs. For example, in addition to the industry’s first road model, Xiaomi also developed the world’s first mass-produced "end-to-end perceptual decision-making model" for the valet parking scene of intelligent driving, which can observe and dynamically adjust parking spaces and other ultra-difficult parking spaces in real time. For example, in the process of developing Xiaomi Titan alloy, Xiaomi also developed a multi-material performance A simulation system. From 10.16 million formulations, the optimal alloy formula that takes into account strength, toughness and stability is selected.

"Technology × Ecology" leads the way, promoting the evolution of smart electric vehicles into a "mobile smart space"

"What we want to build is not a mediocre car, but a dream car comparable to Porsche and Tesla." At the press conference, Lei Jun shared the goal of Xiaomi’s car, and Lei Jun shared the goal of Xiaomi’s car: to rival Porsche and Tesla, to create a dream car in the new era of the automobile industry, and to make a mobile smart space that looks good, easy to drive, comfortable and safe.

In his opinion, the automobile has been developed for more than 130 years, and has always been the "king of industry", and has always been the most typical representative of the "zeitgeist" of each era. In the first 100 years of the automobile, as a travel vehicle, Porsche was a model; since the new century, Tesla has taken the lead in driving intelligent electric vehicles, making the car a "movable computing end point"; and now, the new mission of the automobile industry is to create an "advanced mobile intelligent space", which is the starting point of Xiaomi’s car.

Therefore, Xiaomi’s first car, the SU7, has been fully invested in Xiaomi’s car-making concept from the beginning of development to successful mass production: technology × ecology, advanced mobile smart space.

As the Dream Car of the "trinity" of extreme technology, extreme experience and extreme aesthetics, Xiaomi SU7 is positioned as a "C-class high-performance ecological technology car", based on the extreme performance of high performance, ecological technology, and mobile intelligent space experience. Industry experts said that Xiaomi SU7 fully demonstrates Xiaomi’s "technology × ecology" path innovation and the cognitive guidance of "mobile intelligent space".

In terms of the ultimate technology and advanced driving experience, the appearance of the Xiaomi SU7 is the peak of performance and the ultimate driver’s car. With a series of hard-core technological innovations such as the self-developed super motor HyperEngine, CTB integrated battery technology, and the body structure born out of the 9100t super die-casting technology, the zero-hundred acceleration of the Xiaomi SU7 Max directly soared to 2.78 seconds, and one foot stepped into the "2-second supercar club". The maximum speed also reached 265km/h, both of which exceeded the Porsche Taycan Turbo.

The Mi SU7 is also a true all-rounder for multi-scenarios. It is a full-stack self-developed intelligent chassis control algorithm with two capabilities: full-dimensional intelligent perception and global collaborative control. It can realize millisecond-level full-scene adaptive dynamic chassis control, and at the same time, it brings almost "zero bumps" comfortable driving experience.

In the advanced experience of mobile smart space, the five features of Xiaomi Surging OS (bottom-level reconstruction, Inter-App communications intelligent connection, active intelligence, global security, open ecology) are fully onboard and evolving for the car. The interactive experience of Xiaomi’s smart cockpit is the same as that of the mobile phone tablet. You can get started quickly without learning, and the system is also extremely smooth. The car system starts quickly in 1.49 seconds. At the same time, it also has a seamless inter-App communications experience between mobile phones and cars. For example, when the mobile phone enters the cockpit, the car will automatically display the mobile phone icon, and you can call out the mobile phone desktop with one click.

More importantly, Xiaomi SU7 has achieved three major ecosystems, integrating Xiaomi application ecology, hardware ecology and Xiaomi CarIoT ecology open to third parties, bringing an unprecedented smart space experience.

Among them, the car system is deeply adapted to mainstream in-vehicle applications, and the Xiaomi tablet application ecosystem seamlessly gets on the car. 5000 + applications will be gradually adapted. Mobile applications can also be Pin to the car, and the car machine will be turned into a native application in seconds. In terms of hardware ecology, it has supported 1000 + meters of home equipment to get on the car without induction, and the Pin point expansion interface is reserved in the car to support plug and play of the device. Xiaomi CarIoT ecosystem is fully open to third parties, with a unified standardized interface, the richest communication standard protocol, and a lightweight transformation plan for existing equipment. For example, after installing the intelligent safety seat jointly launched by the three parties in the car, it can support functions such as the central control screen displaying safety status, unfastened vehicle alarm, and the rear Pad camera observing the baby’s status.

Lei Jun said that the ultimate realm of smart electric vehicles is technological leapfrogging and the integration of people and vehicles. Only with the most advanced technology and the most complete ecology can we achieve the integration of people and vehicles. In terms of driving control, it is like arm control, freedom of control, and understanding what you think and what you want in the intelligent space. This is the ability that technology has to leapfrog to a new stage.

The complete closed loop of "People, Cars, Families and Whole Ecology" has ushered in a major leap for Xiaomi

At the end of October this year, the Xiaomi Mi 14 series was successfully released, and the satisfaction rate of e-commerce purchasers exceeded 99% in the first month. This led Xiaomi to rank first in China’s smartphone market in November, and to rank among the top three in the high-end market of more than 4,000 yuan. Xiaomi’s high-end development has achieved great success. At the same time, Xiaomi also announced a comprehensive upgrade of the group’s strategy, from "mobile phone × AIoT" to "people, cars, and home ecology", and cars have become the most important part of Xiaomi’s group strategy.

After three years of learning, growth and accumulation, Xiaomi has finally ushered in a major leap. Lei Jun announced at this launch that with the addition of Xiaomi Automobile, Xiaomi’s "people, cars and family ecology" has been officially closed.

"People, cars, and homes all-round ecology" is a super intelligent ecosystem that comprehensively connects people, cars, and homes, realizes seamless connection of hardware devices, real-time collaboration, and drives industrial chain partners to create people-centered and actively serve people.

First of all, it realizes the cooperation and co-evolution between people, devices and intelligent services. The ecology provides intelligent services for people, and people bring intelligence to the ecology, making the ecology smarter. With the HyperConnect Inter-App communications interconnection framework, Xiaomi Surging OS has opened up more than 200 categories including Xiaomi cars, efficiently connecting global super-600 million devices, covering more than 95% of users’ life scenarios, so that intelligence can serve everyone in detail. At the same time, with the support of AI empowerment, people’s operating habits will make the "people, cars and the whole ecosystem" smarter. Xiaomi HyperMind, as an intelligent thinking center, can perceive and learn people’s daily habits and provide automated suggestions. Xiaomi Surging OS will gradually become an intelligent center that understands users better.

Secondly, the "full ecology of people, cars and families" has also realized the mutual empowerment of products, technologies and industries, and continued to open up. Xiaomi insists on "deep cultivation of underlying technologies and long-term continuous investment". In the past 13 years, it has laid out 12 technical fields and 99 sub-tracks. Based on the principle of "deep integration of soft and hard, AI is fully empowered", forming a "fusion technology stack" to continuously empower Product Research & Development and Manufacturing. At the same time, Xiaomi also collaborates with industrial partners to lay out the "industrial ecology" from industry developers, supply chains to intelligent manufacturing, and is committed to bringing together the potential energy of the whole industry, making Xiaomi Surging OS a more open operating system, and also making "People, Cars, Home, All Ecology" an open ecosystem that embraces more possibilities.

Lei Jun said that Xiaomi Auto is a major leap for Xiaomi. It is a leap from mobile phones, AIoT to cars. It is a leap in long-term investment and deep cultivation of the underlying core technology. It is a leap in the coming of age of Xiaomi’s modern industrial intelligent manufacturing capabilities. It is also a key leap in the complete closed loop of "people, cars, families and the whole ecosystem". "Xiaomi Auto is the new beginning of Xiaomi Group! I believe that one day, Xiaomi Auto will be galloping on every road in the world!"

There was only fourteen days between the release of The Battle at Lake Changjin and the release of Watergate Bridge.It may be difficult to reproduce the popularity and box office miracle of The Battle at Lake Changjin series, but it still tells a hard truth by its own testimony: the text planning that meets the audience’s expectations, the excellent cast and performance, the production level and scale of hardcore can go out of a stable and long line, and good content has no winter at all.

Watergate Bridge of Changjin Lake (hereinafter referred to as Watergate Bridge) won.

Under the excellent performance of the previous The Battle at Lake Changjin, Watergate Bridge, an airborne Spring Festival file, has been released for 19 days, with a box office of more than 3.6 billion; And with the entry of new films, "Watergate Bridge" still occupies the first place in all daily movie-watching indicators, continuing the long-term popularity.

In the traditional Spring Festival with family comedy as the just-needed file, Watergate Bridge, as a war film, has sprung up suddenly in subject matter, but its excellent color bears the bursting scene and emotional resonance of the previous work, which has lived up to the audience’s expectations and sustained its reputation. Counting the first box office of 5.775 billion, the total box office of The Battle at Lake Changjin series movies will break through 10 billion just around the corner.

Under the "film and television winter", such a box office miracle may be difficult to reproduce, but it is still a hard truth in its own words. "Watergate Bridge" is like a night fighter who rushes into the heavy snow on its screen, aiming at the hard road without shortcuts: a solid enough cast and a hard enough production level are to grab the stable output of the box office.

From Big to Small: Focus on the Bridge of Destiny Intersection

According to Huang Jianxin, the chief producer of Watergate Bridge, there was only 14 days between the screening in The Battle at Lake Changjin and the release of Watergate Bridge. It was not until the early morning of January 22, 2022 that the production team finished and handed the film over to Huaxia Copy Factory.

Any excellent film and television work will be under pressure to shoot a sequel. In particular, The Battle at Lake Changjin’s great influence has brought the audience’s sympathetic public opinion expectation and new market feedback, which is bound to influence the planning decision of the creative team. What the audience cares about most and wants to see most is what the second Watergate Bridge needs to present most.

The first film, The Battle at Lake Changjin, has a huge and cultural group image. The soldiers who came from all over the world and finally fought on the battlefield out of common belief, the more tragic their battles were, the more their experiences involved people’s hearts. So from the planning, "Watergate Bridge" has set the core of the literary drama: describing the fate of the seven soldiers.

The fate of the soldiers, all meet on the battlefield. There needs to be a battle to deliver all the answers.

This has the core plot of the second Watergate Bridge: After World War I in Changjin Lake, the United States began to retreat to the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, and Watergate Bridge was their only passage; Only half of the soldiers left in the seventh company will raid with the soldiers of the ninth company and destroy the Watergate Bridge to cut off this passage.

Thanks to The Battle at Lake Changjin’s completion of the necessary background preparation, Watergate Bridge saves a lot of pen and ink, directly spreads the battlefield to the audience, fills the extreme tension of the task, and allows the immersive atmosphere to enter quickly. What’s more, the clear and focused goal setting makes this sequel friendly to all audiences, and even if you don’t know the background, you can quickly enter because of the familiar mode of war movies.

The visual base of heavy snow all over the sky, the competitive pattern of limited space, and the war confrontation of burning adrenal glands. Night, snow, golden gunfire and deep red blood together constitute a tragic battlefield picture. The U.S. military, which has the air superiority, put incendiary bombs on its fighter planes while cruising, and the enemies on the ground held flame throwers, which formed a cruel three-dimensional fire oppression with strong hard power. China soldiers who can’t fight hard must stage a series of intelligent guerrilla warfare and skillfully use a pistol and a Grenade to be small and broad. China soldiers broke the bridge again and again, while the US troops stopped and repaired it again and again, which made the battle narrative compact.

Compared with The Battle at Lake Changjin’s "big", in Watergate Bridge, the creative team pays more attention to "small": from the battle of big scenes to the accurate presentation of a bridge, from the focus on the righteousness of home and country to the personal choice of sadness and joy. The lens not only shows the huge battlefield, but also focuses on the volunteers who are holding explosive charges and flying, ready to die. The audience looked at the body that was constantly penetrated by enemy bullets in the dark, and looked at the blood spattering, and then the whole body was swallowed up by the burst fire. From a small perspective, generate had greater resonance. The sacrifice that runs through the whole film’s artillery fire not only mobilizes the audience’s tears, but also is the emotional landing point that keeps overlapping, which tests the director’s control.

It is this change of perspective from big to small that makes the placement of Watergate Bridge more accurate, and those guns and fires hit the hearts of the audience more easily.

Combining civil and military skills: emotional resonance under artillery fire

Martial arts plays are in the Ming Dynasty, while literary plays are in the dark.

Although the two-and-a-half-hour Watergate Bridge is a battle scene after another, the underlying logic of martial arts drama is supported by strict literary drama. There is the art of war: in order to be small and broad, the volunteers are divided into four teams, making a diversion from the East to the West, and using interspersed tactics to find the weak points of the enemy and win with one blow. There are wits: the route, the time, the reasonable choice of weapons, judging the advance and retreat of preparation, catching the thief first and catching the king first … There are teams, individuals, and even the key fate choices that group soldiers will face along the way from The Battle at Lake Changjin.

The role of Wu Wan Li (Jackson Yee) is the final destination of all literary plays in Watergate Bridge. He is a growing character. After The Battle at Lake Changjin’s rebellion, in Watergate Bridge, when he asked Yu Congrong "How many enemies he killed" at the beginning, the answer "It doesn’t matter, I want you all to go home safely" clearly set the tone for the transformation of a teenager. It is this hidden tone of literary drama that guides the boy to slowly move forward and cover him with a warm quilt when he finally faces the young wounded American soldiers captured in the military camp. This point-to-point mood is self-evident.

Except Jackson Yee, all the actors in Watergate Bridge are also connected with Qi to form a coexistence of fate. To some extent, Qi Lian has become the collectivization concept of the actors, supporting their subconscious performances. It is this natural interpretation that gives Watergate Bridge a more authentic flavor when it ends with The Battle at Lake Changjin’s group portrait.

Tan Ziwei (played by Duan Long) is called "the hero who can’t be killed", but he doesn’t like this title. He warns Wu Wan Li that there are no heroes who can’t be killed or frozen on the battlefield, but only the glory of soldiers. Unlike the traditional hero’s gaze before his sacrifice, Tan Zi was such a hero that he fell down silently without warning when he was doing the task deployment for the soldiers, so that the audience suddenly discovered his injury. This sudden accident and silence magnified the tragic battle and the hardness of the characters.

Before the bridge bombing, Pinghe (Elvis Han) went to apologize to Wu Wan Li and told his brother that Wu Baili had died because of himself. And Wu Wan Li’s answer, "Everyone in Qilian is my brother", has unloaded the deepest burden in Pinghe’s heart. This is the most touching friendship between comrades in arms.

Mei Sheng (Zhu Yawen), whose eyes were badly injured, drove a burning crawler and stumbled down a snowy hillside and crashed into the enemy’s shelters. At this time, he is faced with the inevitability that a strong man will never return, and his heart has no worries. The only thing he wants is to think about his wife and children at the last moment and take a look at the photos.

Wu Qianli, played by Jason Wu, finally admitted to Wu Wan Li that in fact, what my brother said may not be all right. Come on, fly as you like. At the moment of sacrifice, Wu Qianli, who fell, rolled on the hillside, and was finally caught by Wu Wan Li. His eyes looked at his younger brother, although he couldn’t open his mouth any more, but what he should say had all been said.

In the battlefield of gunfire, while presenting scenes, we can also have these delicate descriptions, which also shows the hard-core skill of the film drama. The martial arts drama continues, but the bond between literature and drama has not broken. It is the fate of all the group images that supported the emotional transformation for two and a half hours. When the story ended, all the teams assembled, leaving only Wu Wan Li in the seventh company to shout out the sentence, "It should be 157 people, but it should be 1 person", and all the audience’s emotions reached a climax.

Explaining the emotional fetters of Watergate Bridge, Huang Jianxin, the chief producer, said: "The biggest challenge of the sequel is to integrate the fate, emotions and battle scenes of the characters. Wan Li’s red scarf, Wan Li’s face, Mei Sheng’s daughter’s photo and other details are all echoes and connections of the previous works, and the mood of all creators is also integrated into every detail and emotion. "

Literary drama is the foundation, martial arts is the beginning, and then high-quality production is used to prop up the flesh and blood, which has become the banner of Watergate Bridge. As a super blockbuster with great appreciation, The Battle at Lake Changjin series meets the audience’s demand for watching movies with magnificent war scenes and shocking emotional impact, and once again explains that good content is the last word.

Schedule blessing: content is the universal antidote to the Spring Festival file

"We have fought all the battles we should fight, so the next generation won’t have to fight." This is probably the most inspiring line in The Battle at Lake Changjin. But the next generation needs to know what kind of battles the previous generation fought, which is the historical mission of the film to link the past with the future.

As the main consumer army of movies, the younger generation audience is also the main body that contributes to the box office of The Battle at Lake Changjin series and sets off word-of-mouth communication. What’s even more rare is that The Battle at Lake Changjin series movies have also triggered a movie-watching craze of all ages. According to the data of Cat’s Eye Professional Edition, the proportion of users who want to watch this series is over 40 years old, and there are many older audiences in almost every screening of The Battle at Lake Changjin series movies. In fact, according to the conventional statistics, in 2021, the per capita number of movies in China is 2.4, and half of the audience only watch one movie a year. The box office miracle of The Battle at Lake Changjin series movies has something to do with attracting a wider audience to the cinema.

The attendance of the older generation brought a family-style viewing experience. In this year’s Spring Festival file, history, war, comedy, love, action and animation are diversified in general, which can basically cover all ages and provide more choices for families to watch movies. But from a rational point of view, entering the Spring Festival file does not mean absolute safety. If some filmmakers and cinemas are too eager to get blood back in the Spring Festival file, they only regard the Spring Festival file as an opportunity to make up for their blood loss in the past two years, instead of resonating in the atmosphere of celebrating the New Year and providing high-quality entertainment consumption for the audience. The works that are not up to standard can only watch the good films fall apart and become cannon fodder.

Whether it’s The Wandering Earth’s Hello Li Huanying or Ne Zha’s Wolf Warriors 2 in the summer, the core of the explosion lies in the high-quality content of the film itself, whether it has the emotional ignition point corresponding to the audience. When the audience is sitting in the cinema and facing the screen, what the film should do is to release this emotion to the extreme. In this logic, what the audience sees is not the film itself, but a certain resonance between the film and social emotions.

The creators of Watergate Bridge realized and protected this resonance and integrated it with the social emotions of the Spring Festival. The soldiers’ parting and longing for home in the movie make the reunion in reality the biggest egg. This kind of emotional resonance, in the family-style viewing, is set to the strongest sound.

According to the data of Lighthouse Professional Edition, at 22: 46 on January 22, the total box office of pre-sales of new films for the Spring Festival in 2022 exceeded 100 million. Compared with last year, the speed of pre-sale exceeded 100 million is about ten hours late. The retrogression of such data once again makes people feel the cold winter of film and television, but there has always been such a fire in winter, which can burn good content into the eyes of more viewers. As we can still see now, the popularity of Watergate Bridge is still continuing, and the momentum continues to be high. Although it is snowing heavily on the screen and outside the cinema, Watergate Bridge has walked out of a stable long line with the text planning, excellent cast and performance, and hard-core production level and scale that meet the audience’s expectations, telling all film and television practitioners that good content has no cold winter at all.

THE 　

　　

　　Lu Xun’s Diary of a Madman is the originator of China’s modern novels. After nearly 90 years, Wang Shuo, a "literary rascal", dramatically named his 2007 ending work Diary of a New Madman. This book contains most of Wang Shuo’s private diaries and two short stories in 2007: the diary involves his feelings about people, himself, things, God, life and death; The novels "Horrible Thoughts" and "Days After Death" are metaphors of Wang Shuo’s fate and state of mind in the past six years.

　　500 "wild" words in the diary

　　At the beginning of this year, Wang Shuo returned to the reader’s field of vision with his comeback work My Chitose Cold, but people found that Wang Shuo’s book was "incomprehensible". The publication of the Diary of a New Madman was prefaced by Wang Shuo: "In reality, readers are particularly afraid of not understanding it and should take care of it. After all, there are a few people who sincerely want to buy and don’t understand. Very few people may be mentally ill. "

　　The reason why Wang Shuo named the new book Diary of a New Madman is that this book records a process of delusion, reaching a high point and finally getting to the bottom. In the meantime, every time I think about it, I directly type it into the computer, pushing it one by one, just like crossing the mark. "I solemnly recommend the method of self-treatment of schizophrenia: I type my delusion into the computer, and the rest is a particularly realistic person."

　　It is reported that the diary of the book was written from April to August 2007, totaling more than 500 articles. The style of writing followed Wang Shuo’s consistent maverick. "Crazy, I understand that I look down on people. I think I just look down on things. " The book is divided into six categories according to the realistic orientation, which are named as "I", "Enlightenment", "People", "Things", "Classics" and "Death" respectively. Wang Shuo believes that if the diary is sorted by time, this process is only meaningful to him personally, while the classification according to reality provides a sense of direction for reading and regulates the internal logic of "madness". "I don’t agree to print a book for people to read crazily, and then I can’t come back if I read crazily."

　　Diary or talk about personal life, such as Why I haven’t finished writing about Chitose Cold, Thoughts on Watching Youth-related Days with My Daughter, Remembering My Dad in a trance, and Telling the world about my red knowledge; Or talk about realm consciousness, such as what is death, my Buddhist view, and the most shameless face to death; Or talk about the way of the world, such as "Remembering Liang Zuo", "Quotations from Jiang Wen" and "Telling all the false sensible people in the world"; Or take a long reading note such as A Dream of Red Mansions and Zi Zhi Tong Jian to reflect on the inner world … By the last one written on August 29, 2007, Wang Shuo’s thought after six years of hardship was broken out.

　　The novel "delusion" gives a feast of perception

　　The two short stories "Horrible Thoughts" and "Days After Death" are the acme of the structure and play of words, and describe infinite thoughts with limited Chinese characters.

　　Wang Shuo believes that his writing has reached the realm of "following one’s inclinations". "The two novels were written at the time of delusion, around 2003 and 2004, and I can’t remember them clearly, because they have been written countless times and belong to the series of’ automatic writing semi-finished products’."

　　"Then I saw things like heaven, happiness and love that I never believed in before. These are all landscapes, and a picturesque landscape is no longer an abstract word. It turned out to be all true. When I think like this, I see moving and sadness again-sadness is a gray forest, full of trees with thick moss hanging over them for a long time. Touched by a cave under the cliff by the sea, the cold tide poured in, and the golden light of the sunset lit up the chrysanthemum-like wrinkles on the cave wall. "

　　From the beginning of this book, Wang Shuo’s language is embedded with a kind of magic, and his surreal feelings are directly projected to the readers’ senses through extremely accurate words, and his expression is smooth and incisive. The novel has a total of 40,000 words, and every word is exquisite. The editor of this book thinks that he has presented a "feast of perception" to the readers.

　　The style of writing returns to family and rewrites itself.

　　Twenty years ago, Wang Shuo was born in China literary world with works such as "Stewardess". He conquered countless readers with half piqueness and half affection. However, since "My Chitose Cold", many people are deeply sorry and puzzled by his unique style and profound content.

　　The two novels included in Diary of a New Madman let people once again see a Wang Shuo whose words are superb but his heart is still quiet and simple. Although he calls himself a "delusion", he contains an important ups and downs in life, rewriting himself and being full of warmth.

　　In the book, Wang Shuo recalled his parents, brother and past family. Life is like a play, everyone is just an actor. "I don’t hate to play my dad’s old actor. I just gave him a cold shoulder in the middle. He asked me to play like this, but I didn’t play like this … Later, he stopped playing and left. I haven’t seen him again. I miss him very much. How can a group stay for 40 years without feelings … I have broken his heart, and he has also broken mine. Maybe we both played too seriously. "

　　Wang Shuo’s daughter had a complete family before she was 6 years old. In her novels, Wang Shuo devoted herself to that time. "The story of happiness in my life is the first six years of meeting myself in the afterlife. Then I cut the reins of happiness myself. "

　　Through the words in the book, readers can see a father with infinite warmth, infinite miss and infinite love for his daughter. "My home is not completely scattered because of her. I live for her, and if she is gone, I will never breathe another breath in this world. "

　　Controversial "private" signboard is popular?

　　Referring to the new book named Diary of a New Madman, Wang Shuo said: "Some people say I am crazy, don’t they? I am a Zhongshan wolf, and I will be crazy if I succeed. " As for whether the title of the book is suspected of following the trend of Lu Xun, Wang Shuo once said with a smile: "Madness is not Lu Xun’s patent."

　　Wang Shuo’s two consecutive new books have all been marked with the word "private", which has aroused readers’ general doubts about his motivation to publish books. Some readers posted on the forum: "Wang Shuo is really old and can only sell his privacy like a dead star." Some readers even accused Wang Shuo of taking "private" things as a kind of depravity, completely making his entertainment a star. Some readers predicted that no matter how Wang Shuo caught his eye with the "private" signboard, he could not save his declining book sales.

　　Is it reliable to learn English by watching American TV series? Of course, it is reliable, provided that you master the correct way to open American TV series!

　　Isn’t the correct way to watch a drama, moving a small bench, drinking with your left hand and snacks with your right hand, and laughing while watching? No！ It’s hard to improve your English even if you read countless plays like this.

　　If you want to learn English through American TV series, you need to treat TV series as learning materials rather than entertainment materials, and master a set of correct practice methods. Otherwise, it’s just a waste of time under the guise of learning.

　　According to the learning method, the entertainment may be weakened, but when you really understand each episode, you will find that this is a more interesting perspective, and you can discover the connotation and even cultural phenomena behind many plots.

　　So, what is the correct way to learn English through drama?

　　First, pick the drama series

　　If you want to improve your English by watching TV plays, you must first choose a suitable TV series, because not all American TV plays are suitable for learning English.

　　For example, Hollywood blockbusters with cool special effects, or medical drama, crime dramas, criminal investigation dramas, etc. with small themes and strong professionalism are very suitable for entertainment and relaxation, but they are not suitable for learning materials. The length of movies is generally 1.5~2 hours, which is not conducive to repeated learning and easy to get bored. However, most of the words in the dramas with too strong professionalism are related to this specific field, which is relatively uncommon and difficult to use in daily life (unless you are particularly interested in this field, you can challenge it after reaching a higher level).

　　Choosing a drama for the purpose of learning should not only focus on the plot, but also take life-oriented, multi-dialogue and clear pronunciation as the standards, and also distinguish the difficulty level. Some American dramas speak too fast, and all kinds of accents and slang are mixed, so they are not suitable for beginners to practice.

　　I suggest to choose life sitcoms at first. 80% of the words in these American dramas are within the common vocabulary of daily communication. The plots are close to life, and the pronunciation is generally standard and clear. Both listening and speaking are ideal materials. Moreover, the duration of a single episode is moderate, and there may not be a plot connection between each episode, which is suitable for learning each episode independently. The most typical recommendation is Friends. The story is light and humorous, and the episode lasts for more than 20 minutes. It is very convenient to listen and imitate repeatedly. Every time you conquer an episode, you don’t have to worry about where you saw it last time, and you can quickly accumulate a sense of accomplishment.

　　If the foundation is weak, cartoons are also a good choice. For example, the British cartoon "Piggy Peggy" on fire is only 5 minutes per episode, which is more convenient to practice. But don’t underestimate it, its vocabulary in the first four seasons reached 4503, which is about the level of CET-4.

　　When the level is improved, you can choose drama American dramas for advanced practice. Relatively speaking, melodrama has more complicated scenes, characters and topics, more orthodox and authentic expressions, and a rich vocabulary.

　　In short, it is the first step to success to choose the most suitable drama according to your own English foundation.

　　Second, prepare materials

　　After finding a suitable drama, you can search the lines and scripts of this drama on the Internet (it is also recommended that you choose life sitcoms because such dramas are widely circulated, and it is easy to find scripts and even intensive notes on the Internet).

　　Go through the script, look up the new words you don’t know, and get a general idea of the dialogue and story. Then take the script, put on headphones and start watching the play seriously!

　　Third, watch the drama

　　First of all, it is clear that there is no future to rely on Chinese subtitles all the time! If you want to really improve your level, you have to ask yourself to get used to getting rid of subtitles and learn to chew raw meat. As for how to set Chinese and English subtitles, QQ Video and Storm Video all have the function of "mosaic subtitles", and Baidu’s experience can be found (see the picture on the right).

　　Step 1

　　The first time, you can open Chinese and English subtitles, get familiar with the plot, and make comments in the script book, marking the places you don’t understand and excellent expressions. When recording, don’t analyze or try to remember for the time being, and then review it uniformly after reading it all over.

　　Step 2

　　The second time, turn off the Chinese subtitles, only look at English to understand every dialogue of the characters, open the Chinese comparison where you really don’t understand, and mark the points you don’t understand.

　　Step 3

　　Try to turn off the subtitles for the third or fourth time, listen to the dialogue of the characters, and try to reflect the meaning of each line immediately when you hear it, and fully understand the plot. You can listen to the places that are faster and more difficult to understand, and arrange the practice times according to your own situation.

　　Step 4

　　Open your mouth and follow.

　　The dialogue and narration in American TV plays are the best examples of oral learning. On the basis of watching it carefully for several times, opening your mouth and following it can greatly improve your oral ability, and at the same time consolidate and train your listening.

　　First, read one sentence after another, watch one sentence, press pause and read one sentence after another. Try to imitate the pronunciation and intonation rhythm of the characters, not only the pronunciation, but also the phonetic forms of words in real communication, such as linking, stressing and shortening, and carefully understand the language habits in expression.

　　After following the whole episode for 1-2 times, you should already know its contents by heart, so you should try to follow it synchronously. You can practice in 3-minute or 5-minute intervals, and try to keep up with the speed of the characters’ speech until they imitate like the video before starting the next paragraph.

　　Step 5

　　Dictation.

　　If you want to maximize the value of American TV series, you will eventually have to write it. Dictation is definitely a good method. Turn on the video (you can turn off the subtitles) and listen to the sentence by sentence. You will find some problems that you neglected before. The most common thing is that you can’t write words. Master the words that you can’t write, and you won’t really "catch up" with an episode of American TV until you have dictated the content of this episode.

　　Knowing the correct method, it’s time to choose a play and practice it.

　　The Simpsons The Simpsons

　　Douban score: 9.0

　　The Simpsons is the longest-lived sitcom and animation program in American history, and it is also an absolute masterpiece in many people’s minds. The story is set in the fictional American town of Springfield. The Simpsons are an ordinary American family of five. His father Homer is the safety inspector of the nuclear power plant in the town, and his mother Ma Zhi is a thoughtful housewife. His naughty eldest son Bart, his clever sister Lisa and his little girl Maggie will never grow up. The happy life of a middle-class family is shown in a funny and humorous way full of nonsense.

　　For beginners, cartoons are the first, with short dialogue, slow speech, easy dialogue and simple plot. The Simpsons story is interesting and deep, so it is the first choice for getting started.

　　Friends

　　Friends

　　Douban score: 9.6~9.8

　　One of the most popular American dramas in history tells the story of six friends with different personalities who have gone through ten years of ups and downs together from acquaintance to acquaintance. This play is so classic that I won’t introduce it too much. As entertainment, humor is relaxed and the characters are full; As a learning material, most of its lines are short spoken sentences, with moderate speech speed, daily vocabulary and standard and clear pronunciation.

　　Other similar excellent sitcoms include Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory (there are too many uncommon words in the first two seasons, so it is recommended to watch them from the fourth season) and Desperate Housewives (compared with Friends, there are more long sentences and advanced words, which are slightly more difficult).

　　Advanced edition

　　This is us "our day"

　　Douban score: 8.8~9.6

　　The American drama, which is extremely warm and healing max, has the nostalgia of the 1980s in the United States, and also has the laughter and tears that contemporary people feel the same way. It is the drama that touched me the most times. It is about the family life of an ordinary American couple and their three children. Jack and his wife Rebecca have three children born on the same day. Both generations born on the same day have their own troubles and confusions. Faced with countless problems thrown by life, how do they actively resolve and embark on different life trajectories … …

　　The plot of "thick chicken soup flavor" magically makes people immersed in it and can’t extricate themselves. Laughter and tears are juxtaposed, which is not dull and unpretentious. The dialogue in it is very life-oriented. It is a necessary drama to understand the daily life of Americans and learn common spoken English, and maybe it can cure your "mourning" inadvertently.

　　Felicity

　　Felicity

　　Douban score: 8.5~8.6

　　Felicity, a girl, gave up the opportunity to go to Stanford Medical School to pursue her boyfriend, but came to new york thousands of miles away alone. The play tells the story of Felicity’s new independent life after she left her parents, and the important choices she and her new friends made for various problems in life when they entered adulthood. Although it is a 1998 drama, it is not out of date at all. The youth, growth and confusion it tells always resonate easily, and it can also be used to explore the daily life and culture of American university campuses.

　　The plot is very close to daily life (especially college life), the words are more everyday, and there are many authentic oral expressions, which are suitable for learning materials.

　　Advanced edition

　　The West Wing "the west wing"

　　Douban score: 9.1

　　High-quality American TV series with political themes. Butler, the leader of the Democratic Party, won the election and became the new president in the White House. He and his team were baptized in a series of political events based on real historical events, and experienced the transformation of life in the first year of high-intensity work.

　　There are countless classic debates and speeches, but the speed of speech and professional vocabulary are very difficult, so it is difficult to chew them down, which is suitable for people with higher English level.

　　Mad Men

　　Mad Men

　　Douban score: 8.7~9.4

　　The 1960s was the heyday of American advertising. The drama tells the brutal commercial competition of American advertising industry and the scenes of cross-border wars in the workplace, shopping malls and love scenes on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, which are interspersed with many creative cases. If you are familiar with or interested in advertising industry, this drama is very suitable for challenges.

　　Similar excellent American TV dramas include Newsroom, House of Cards, Prison Break, etc. The plot is very compact and wonderful, and the content is deeper, but it is also relatively difficult, which is suitable for those with higher level to challenge and break through.

　　Finally, I will give you some important tips:

　　1. English learning is a process of repeated practice. You should practice and listen again and again until you are satisfied. There is not much in learning, and it is far better to read one episode thoroughly than to watch ten episodes.

　　2. Learning English with American TV plays is mainly about listening and speaking, so as to improve daily communication ability. You can’t rely entirely on watching American TV plays for English learning, and you have to memorize the words!

　　3. Persistence is the most important thing in learning English. Repetition over and over may be a little boring, but if the purpose of watching American TV series is just for entertainment, don’t expect it to improve your English. After all, there is no shortcut to learning. (Senior Feng Xiao, Master of Sociology, Cambridge University, UK)
