In October, 2015, Dong Jun, the former mayor of Xi ‘an, who was punished by the party for eating and drinking in private clubs, resigned and Shangguan Jiqing was transferred to the mayor of Xi ‘an.

　　When Shangguan Jiqing was the mayor of Xi ‘an, Wei Minzhou was the party secretary, and they worked together for more than a year. On May 22, 2017, Wei Minzhou, suspected of serious violation of discipline, was appointed as deputy director of the Standing Committee of Shaanxi Provincial People’s Congress.

On December 18th, some media reported that Nissan Motor Co. and Honda Motor Co. planned to negotiate on the merger to better compete in the rapidly changing global automobile industry. It is reported that Honda and Nissan are considering setting up a holding company to operate, and plan to include Mitsubishi Motors under the holding company. At present, Nissan holds 24% of the shares of Mitsubishi Motors and is its largest shareholder.

Subsequently, it was reported that Hon Hai Precision, Foxconn’s parent company, had approached Nissan about the shareholding. In view of the precedent of Foxconn’s acquisition of Sharp in 2016, its shareholding intention may stimulate Honda and Nissan’s anxiety about the acquisition, thus accelerating the merger process of the two.

However, both Honda and Nissan responded in official website that, as announced in March and August this year, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi have combined their respective advantages and are considering various possibilities for future cooperation, but no decision has been made.

If the merger takes place, Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi will become the third largest automobile manufacturer in the world after the merger, second only to Toyota and Volkswagen. The merger will also be the biggest deal in the automotive industry since the formation of Stellantis by FCA Group and PSA Group in January 2021.

The situation is not optimistic.●

At the end of last month, some media reported that Nissan was facing a bankruptcy crisis and its cash flow could only last for 12-14 months.

In the first half of fiscal year 2025 (April-September 2024), Nissan’s operating income was 5.98 trillion yen, down 1.3% year-on-year; Operating profit was 32.908 billion yen, down 90.2% year-on-year; The net profit was 19.223 billion yen, down 93.5% year-on-year; The operating profit margin was only 0.5%, compared with 5.6% in the same period last year.

China is an important single market for Nissan, which is facing the decline of sales. According to the data of Nissan China, from January to November, 2024, the cumulative sales volume of Nissan China, including passenger cars and light commercial vehicles, was 621,700 units. In the same period of last year, it was 694,900 units, a year-on-year decrease of 10.53%.

On November 7th, Nissan Motor Co. announced that it would cut its annual profit forecast, and it would lay off 9,000 people worldwide and cut its global production capacity by 20%. In addition to lowering the annual profit forecast and layoffs, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. is taking measures including reducing sales, comprehensive and administrative expenses, reducing costs and optimizing asset mix, hoping to reverse its performance. At the same time, President and CEO Makoto Uchida of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. will voluntarily give up 50% of his monthly salary from November this year, and other members of the Executive Committee will also voluntarily reduce their salary accordingly.

At the same time, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. also announced that it will reduce its shareholding in Mitsubishi Motors from 34% to 24%.

In addition, in June this year, Nissan closed its passenger car factory in Changzhou, Jiangsu. Dongfeng Nissan officially responded that this decision is based on the company’s overall development strategy and changes in the market environment, aiming to better adapt to the development needs of enterprises in the direction of new energy by optimizing and adjusting internal production capacity and resource allocation. While ensuring the production capacity of current models, Dongfeng Nissan is stepping up efforts to lay out production lines of new energy models and increase investment in related fields to meet future market demand.

Honda’s life is relatively better.In the first half of fiscal year 2025 (April-September, 2024), Honda’s consolidated operating income was 10.79 trillion yen, a year-on-year increase of 12.4%; Operating profit was 742.6 billion yen, an increase of 6.6%; Pre-tax profit decreased by 15.6% year-on-year to 741.9 billion yen. Its global car sales decreased by 8.0% year-on-year to 1.779 million units.

According to the data of Honda China official website, from January to November 2024, the cumulative sales volume of Honda’s terminal cars in China was 740,400, compared with 1,068,400 in the same period of last year, a decrease of 30.7%.

In July, 2024, Honda China announced the optimization of production capacity, and confirmed that two of the seven vehicle production lines in China will be closed this year. After adjustment, Honda’s total vehicle production capacity in China will be reduced from 1.49 million to 1.2 million.

Cooperation to reduce costs●

Facing the impact of new energy vehicles in China, Nissan and Honda have strengthened cooperation this year.On March 15th, Nissan and Honda announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to cooperate in electric vehicle business, such as joint procurement, joint development of power platforms, and generalization of spare parts. The two sides hope to reduce costs and enhance their competitiveness in electric vehicle products through resource integration.At that time, Toshihiro Mibe, CEO of Honda, proposed the possibility of capital cooperation with Nissan.

In August, Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi jointly signed a memorandum of understanding on deepening the strategic partnership framework, cooperating in the basic technology field of the next generation software-defined vehicle (SDV) platform, and accelerating the realization of carbon neutrality.

It is worth mentioning that in March this year, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. released the "The Arc Nissan Arc Plan", focusing on all-round new product planning, promoting electric drive, innovative R&D and production methods, applying digital new technologies and deepening strategic partnerships to increase global sales and improve profitability. At the same time,Nissan also plans to launch 30 new models in the next three years, including 16 electric vehicles and 14 internal combustion engines, to meet the diversified customer needs of different markets in the process of electrification transformation.

In May, Honda also said that it would start a new plan and promised to double its investment in electrification and software to about $65 billion in fiscal year 2030. Honda also plans to reduce the manufacturing cost of electric vehicles by more than 30% and the procurement cost of batteries in North America by 20%. Min Hong, CEO of Honda, said,The company’s goal is to launch a total of seven new electric vehicles worldwide by 2030, and realize that the sales of electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles will account for 40% of the global sales.

Under the transformation of Honda and Nissan, if they are combined, they will also have synergistic effects in resources and products.

In the history of automobile development, cooperation between automobile enterprises has also occurred frequently. In May 1999, Renault acquired 36.8% equity of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. for US$ 5.4 billion, and became the major shareholder of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Since then, Nissan has also held 15% equity of Renault, forming a cross-shareholding alliance. In 2016, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. acquired a 34% stake in Mitsubishi Motors, and since then, the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance has been formed, and its cumulative sales volume once ranked first in the world.

In 2023, Renault and Nissan reached an alliance restructuring framework agreement, and Renault Group transferred 28.4% of Nissan’s shares to a French trust, and Nissan and Renault Group will maintain 15% cross-shareholding. Both parties will have equal voting rights, and both parties can freely exercise the voting rights attached to the 15% direct shareholding.

Toyota also frequently cooperates with other car companies. In August 2017, Toyota and Mazda formed a capital alliance through cross-shareholding; In August 2019, Toyota Motor and Suzuki Motor reached a cooperation through cross-shareholding; In addition, Toyota also holds shares in Subaru, Daihatsu and other car companies.

In 2021, the merger of Citroen Group (PSA) and Fiat Chrysler Automobile Company (FCA) was officially completed. The two parties merged at 50: 50 to form a brand-new group Stellantis, which became the fourth largest automobile group in the world after the merger.

Since the beginning of this year, with the intensification of competition, domestic car companies are also merging their brands to strengthen resource coordination. Under the Taizhou Declaration, Geely promoted the integration of Krypton and Linke, and the geometric brand was merged into the Galaxy brand. SAIC Passenger Car announced the integration of Roewe and Feifan Automobile; In October this year, APP announced that it would migrate to Great Wall Motor APP. From the second half of this year, Euler began to share sales and after-sales channels with other brands of Great Wall.

Obviously, strategic cooperation and resource focus have become the choices of many car companies.

It is worth noting that in China, the market share of Japanese cars has dropped significantly. According to the data of the Federation, in the first 11 months of this year, the cumulative sales volume of Japanese cars was 2,782,500, a year-on-year decrease of 15.6%, and the market share was also reduced from 22.6% in 2021 to 13.7%. This is not optimistic for Nissan and Honda. If we can improve the market competitiveness through merger, we may be able to save the downward trend. But whether they will cooperate through merger or not will take time to wait for the result.

In today’s film and television circles, when the word "high yield" is mentioned, Bao Beier may be the first name that comes to mind for many people. His figure frequently shuttles through all kinds of film and television works, and his output is staggering. Take this year for example, as of November, he has starred in six films, which is not all. It is said that according to the plan, almost ten works will be published by the end of the year. Moreover, this is just a movie. He has not left behind the online drama and the Internet University. Even when he checked on Douban, his film projects were all scheduled for 2030. Such a high yield is quite outstanding in the whole film and television industry.

However, high-yield returns to high-yield, but the quality of the works is really a long story. Most of the films he participated in, Douban scores fell steadily in the range of 4-6 points. It is not the kind of masterpiece that can make people marvel, but it is not so bad that it can’t be seen, so many people call him a "model worker" in the film and television industry.

Bao Beier’s working mode and the number of performances are very distinctive. He is like an indefatigable ox. When he works, he is called a hard worker, which is really a "desperate saburo" for internal entertainment. In terms of the types of drama, it is mainly comedy and crime drama. In comedies, he often chooses those cowardly characters to play, for example, in the performance of "Fat Agents", which is to make the audience laugh by performing such roles. In the crime drama, however, he changed himself and singled out the villains who were scolded and beaten. Since the "Big Man", he seems to have opened up this unique "deserved beating" drama. For example, in Violence, the evil villain he played forced a single mother to try to improve her fortune, and was finally beaten by a policewoman. This setting made the audience hate him and feel Japanese. Also, in "Fighting Black", he put on a wig to play a bad guy, which was dubbed by the audience as a "wig pervert", and he was also badly beaten, and the audience loved to see him being beaten, as if he could get a different kind of spiritual refreshing feeling from it.

Bao Beier also has his own preference in script selection. He either chooses the book with pure family fun in domestic comedies, or buys Korean copyright for remake. Take this year’s What’s in the Zoo as an example, which is a remake of the Korean film The Secret Zoo. The plot is basically a copy, telling the story of a timid man who is frustrated in the workplace. It is a coincidence that he wants to take over a zoo that is about to close down and then pretend to be an animal with his employees. The props in it are shoddy. Although they are labeled as hilarious, they are actually a group of third-rate actors who are tinkering around the edges, which is really lacking in originality.

Bao Beier also has his own "Wang Fried Group" in the field of comedy. Most of the members are northern funny actors who performed skits in their early years, such as Jia Bing, Pan Binlong, Qiao Shan, Song Xiaofeng, Xiao Shenyang and Wen Song. Together, they formed a low-cost combination, specializing in low-cost movies. The aesthetics of this kind of movies are really not very advanced, and the funny way is also relatively popular, that is, the kind of straightforward amusement. But don’t say that in the sinking market such as the third and fourth lines, there are really many viewers buying it. After all, for the audience in the sinking market, watching movies is just for fun, and it doesn’t need too many profound artistic connotations. Just like in some movie theaters in small counties, when this kind of movie is released, it can also attract many viewers to enter the theater. After watching it, everyone laughs and thinks that the ticket price is well spent.

When it comes to Bao Beier’s success, it really needs to be analyzed. He is undoubtedly a realist, with sober cognition and super action. He is well aware of his image and ability, unlike some actors, who are obviously not suitable for a certain type of role and have to bite the bullet and act. Bao Beier wouldn’t challenge those literary films. He knew that he couldn’t play the roles like Burning Winter and A Night Intoxicated by Spring Breeze, so he seized the roles of grassroots, diaosi counterattack and the wicked being beaten, and firmly rooted in his own field. Moreover, he also accurately grasped the audience’s aesthetics, knowing that the audience in the sinking market likes to watch such interesting and exciting fast-food movies, so he focuses on the sinking market and pays attention to the investment-income ratio to ensure that every work can earn more or less. Take his movie box office as an example. Although his works have a general reputation, with this quantitative output, the cumulative box office of his movies has actually exceeded 17 billion, and he has become a tens of billions of actors in the entertainment industry. However, there is really a question mark about the gold content of this 10 billion box office. Comparing the list of actors who broke the box office of 10 billion yuan this year, the top five are Shen Teng, Bo Huang, Jason Wu, Zhang Yi and Wang Baoqiang. These actors are well-known and their works are of high quality. Look at Chen Sicheng, the first director on the director’s list. It’s also because of quality works that people stand in that position. Therefore, Bao Beier’s success is more on the commercial level, and from the perspective of artistic value, it really needs to be improved.

Judging from Bao Beier’s film mode, there are indeed some problems. His works lack originality, and most of them are remakes or routines that have been verified by the market. Just like "What’s in the Zoo" mentioned earlier, it’s just a copy of a Korean film. Although it can reduce the cost and release the film quickly, it will not be good for the innovation and development of the whole film and television industry in the long run. Moreover, the quality of the works is uneven, and some films are just to make up the number, which is seriously insufficient in artistic depth. Paying too much attention to catering to the market and mass production leads to the lack of artistic value and innovation in movies. It’s like eating. If we eat fast food without nutrition every day, it will fill our stomachs, but it won’t do us any good. The same is true of film and television works. The audience needs not only something that can amuse them, but also good works with depth and innovation.

In short, Bao Beier’s development in the film and television industry is unique, and his high yield and commercial success can not be ignored. At the same time, we should also see the disadvantages of his film mode, hoping that the future film and television industry can pay more attention to the quality and innovation of works while ensuring the output, and bring more valuable audio-visual enjoyment to the audience.
